SUBJECT: Revised Geological Hazards Assessment for the Chevy Chase P.U.D.
Port Townsend, Washington
Dear Mr. Bailey:
m January, 1997, David Evans and Associates, mc. (DEA) conducted an evaluation of potential geologic hazard
areas as defined in Section 9 and Section 1 of the Jefferson County mterim Critical Areas Ordinance Number 05-
0509-94 as amended on June 26, 1995. m Jefferson County, geologic hazards are classified based on the presence
of erosion, landslide and seismic hazards. As stated in the ordinance, geologically hazardous areas are
characterized by slope, soil type, geologic material, and groundwater conditions that may combine during and/or
after construction, or during natural events such as earthquakes or severe rainstorms.
Based on the surface and subsurface evaluations conducted by DEA on the subject property, it is our opinion that
no geologic hazards occur on the property and the development proposed is compatible with the surface and
subsurface conditions observed and described. As stated in Sections 9.402 and 11.07 the Jefferson County
Ordinance the property is eligible for a waiver from Critical Area Review based on the following conditions.
1. No defined geologic hazards were identified on the subject property. Therefore, all proposed building
sites and project related improvements are to be located outside of any designated geologic hazard
area or its buffer.
2. Sufficient geologic information exists or has been obtained to indicate that the impacts of the
proposed project will not cause adverse geological impact on or off the project site.
Erosion hazard areas are defined as soils or soil complexes described and mapped by the Soil Conservation
Service (SCS) in the Soil Survey for Jefferson County as having a severe or very severe erosion hazard potential.
Landslide hazard areas are defined as those areas that are subject to mass movement due to a combination of
geologic. topo~phic and hydrologic factors. These potential hazard areas are characterized as areas of historic
failures or potentially unstable slopes, areas that can become unstable as a result of rapid stream incision, stream
bank erosion, or undercutting by wave action, and areas subject to severe risk of damage as a result of earthquake
induced ground shaking, slope failure. settlement, soi11iquefaction, or surface faulting.
DEA conducted a review of available geologic information, including mapping and reference sources in addition
to making site visits to examine existing surface conditions. Our subsurface evaluation included the excavation
of 13 test pits and 2 borrow areas to verify the texture of subsurface soil throughout the property.

Regional geology is dominated by glacial deposits related to the last glaciation of the Puget Sound region referred
to the Frasier continental glaciation which occurred approximately 12,000 to 15,000 years ago. The landforms
and soil described throughout the property are associated with and are typical of glacial materials deposited
during the Vashon Stade of the Frasier Continental glaciation. Soil contacts examined and described appear to be
gradational in character resulting from the natural weathering of the smface. Two borrow pits were examined and
the soil described as a gray medium sand. This soil occurs in the southeast comer of the property in Section 1 of
the 3 project areas.
Soil examined and described are consistent with the C1allam and Tukey Series of soil as mapped and reported by
the SCS. The C1allam gravelly sandy loam (Cme) are nearly level to rolling soils located on terraces with grades
of 5% to 15%. The soil is well drained with a moderate permeability. Runoff is slow to medium and the water
erosion hazard is reported to be slight to moderate. The Tukey gravelly loam (ToD) are a hilly soil occurring on
glacial terraces along the margins of steep ravines or waterways. Slope grades are reported by the SCS to be
between 15% and 30% although field examinations and measurements obtained by DEA found the grades to be
slightly less. The runoff is reported to be medium and the erosion hazard is moderate.
Other soil described and mapped by the SCS as located on the property include the Agnew silt loam, (AgB),
Casey silt loam, (CeB),and the Muki1teo peat (Mu). In addition, Dick loamy sand, (DeC), was observed on the
property. Descriptions for each of these soil groups is provided below.
Agnew Silt Loam, (AgB)
This soil is nearly level to gently slopping occurring in valley areas formerly occupied by shallow glacia11akes.
This soil is somewhat poorly drained. Permeability is moderately slow. This soil is not on a project portion of
the property.
Belfast Silty Clay Loam, (BM)
This soil is poorly drained with moderately slow permeability. Site observations indicate that these soils are not
expected to extend into the project area.
Casey Silt Loam, (CeB)
This soil is nearly level to gently sloping occurring on terraces. The soil is somewhat poorly drained.
Permeability is slow and the runoff is slow. Erosion hazard is considered to be slight. SCS mapping of Casey
soils within the project boundary are not consistent with field observations.
Mukilteo Peat, (Mu)
This soil occurs in basins and depressions. The soil is very poorly drained with a moderate permeability in the
upper portions and rapid in the lower. Runoff is very slow to ponded and the erosion hazard is reported to be
slight to nonexistent.
Dick Loamy Sand (DeC)
This nearly level to rolling soil is on Morraine terraces and outwash plains. This soil is somewhat excessively
drained and the permeability is rapid. The erosion hazard is considered to be slight.

The attached soil map shows the SCS soil mapping completed over the property. A small surface area of the
Muki1teo peat (Mu) is located in the northeast portion of the property which lies to the south and outside of the
proposed development area. The surface area of Mukilteo soils appears to be smaller in size than depicted in SCS
mapping. Soils consistent with Dick loamy sand (Dce) was observed to the north of the Mukilteo soils and are
expected to extend across the entire northeast project area. The dominant soil mapped and observed throughout
the proposed development areas consists of the Tukey gravelly loam (TuD). A band ofC1allam (CmC) and
Agnew (AgB) soils have been mapped through the central portion of the property extending from north to south.
No development is proposed on these soils.
The attached topographic site plan shows three sections of proposed residential development and the area set
aside for installation of on-site sewage disposal systems. Section 3 is located in an area where the Tukey gravelly
loam has been mapped by the SCS. DEA field evaluations found the soil in Section 1 to be a loose gray medium
sand with surface grades ofless than 10%. In Section 2 the soil mapped by the SCS and confirmed by DEA
consist of the Clallam gravelly sandy loam (Cme). All other soil described and mapped on the property occur
within the existing golf course area. The soil described do not present a hazard to the proposed development as
currently planned. Existing slopes and grades measured in the field and shown on the attached topographic maps
indicates grades between 5% and 14%. Native slopes are generally between 5% and 15% throughout the
proposed residenti~l development ar~~s.
Seismic hazard areas are defined by the Jefferson County Ordinance as those areas that are subject to severe risk
of damage as a result of earthquake induced ground shaking, slope failure, settlement, soil liquefaction, or surface
faulting. Soil and slope conditions observed on the subject property are generally consistent with the SCS series
of soil. Field investigations conducted by DEAindicate that the proposed areas for development do notcontain
areas that could be classified as a seismic hazard areas.
Native soils observed at shallow depths are dense to very dense, compact, slightly cemented and are therefore not
considered to be prone to excessive movement or settlement as a result of seismic induced motion. Indications of
perched groundwater conditions were observed in the soil pits. However, if measures are taken to control
saturation, such as established drainage systems, the potential for settlement and/or liquefaction will be further
minimized.
Residential construction should be completed in accordance with current Uniform Building Codes related to
potential seismic loading for the region. The property is located within the Puget Sound region which has been
classified as a Zone 3 seismic area.
ConchlsioBS
Research and field evaluations conducted throughout the Chevy Chase project found that no geologic conditions
exist that would cause a potential problem to devel~pment of the site or to adjacent properties. Evaluations
considered soil textures, subsurface characteristics, regional and local geologic environments, slopes and the soil
covering them and the proposed development in each of three project areas. The glacial geology has created
gentle rolling topography that is covered with a mature growth of trees. A portion of the property has been
developed into a golf course which covers the nearly level central portion of the project area. The soils mapped
by the SCS and DEA are described as having a slight to moderate erosion hazard on slopes with grades between
5% and 14%. No ground water problems were identified although indicators were observed in the soil pits. The
use of conventional storm drainage systems and footing drains will prevent the buildup of ground water around
new structures. Construction of the residential development should be in accordance with Jefferson County and
Uniform Building Code requirements for the type of structure proposed.

Limitations
This geologic hazards assessment has been researched and prepared using generally accepted geologic and
engineering techniques in use at the time of our evaluation. This summary is intended to satisfy relevant portions
of Section 9 of the Jefferson County Ordinance and assumes no warranty expressed or implied for the geologic
conditions described. The information presented is specific to the subject property and should not be applied to
adjacent or neighboring property. We assume the development of the property will confirm our findings,
however if conditions are found to differ from those described DEA should be contacted to re-examine the
existing conditions with regard to the proposed development. DEA recommends that the owners utilize a
geotechnical consultant to assist with issues related to soils, hydrology and slopes.
DBA would like to thank you for the opportunity to assist with this project. If there are any questions regarding
the information presented please contact us at 922-9780.

are on terraces, canyon slopes, and ocean bluffs. Slopes
range from 0 to 50 percent. Native vegetation consists
mainly of Douglas-fir, western redcedar, red alder, willow,
and bigleaf maple. Annual precipitation ranges from 18 to
25 inches. The average annual air temperature is 5OoF. The
above 320F growing season ranges from about 240 to 270
days, and the above 280F growing season ranges from about
300 to 330 days. These soils are associated mainly with
Clallam, Dick, and Hoypus soils.
In a representative profile in a wooded area, organic litter
covers the surface. The upper 3 inches of the soil is dark-
brown silt loam. Below this, to a depth of 9 inches, is grayish-
brown, faintly mottled silt loam. Between depths of 9 and
29 inches is grayish-brown, faintly mottled silty clay loam.
This is underlain by grayish-brown silty clay loam and
. gravelly silty clay loam that extends to a depth of 60 inches.
Most of the acreage of Agnew soils has been cleared. The
soils are used mainly for permanent pasture, part-time di-
versified farming, and rural development. The steeper Agnew
soils are wooded.
Agnew silt loam, 0 to 8 percent slopes (AgB).-This

Dick Series
The Dick series consists of somewhat excessively drained,
sandy soils. They formed in glacial outwash on plains and
terraces. Slopes range from 0 to 15 percent. Elevation ranges
from slightly above sea level to about 300 feet. Native vege-
tation consists mainly of Douglas-fir, western hemlock,
rhododendron, salal, Oregon grape, huckleberry, and bracken.
Annual precipitation ranges from 17 to 25 inches. The average
annual air temperature is SOOF. The above 320F growing
season ranges from about 240 to 270 days, and the above
280F growing season ranges from about 300 to 330 days.
These soils are associated mainly with Agnew, Cassolary,
Clallam, Everett, and Indianola soils.
In a representative profile in a wooded area, a 2- to 3-inch
layer of organic litter covers the surface. The upper 4 inches
of the soil is grayish-brown loamy sand. Below this, to a
depth of 10 inches, is light brownish-gray loamy sand. Be-
neath this, and extending to a depth of 60 inches, is light
olive-brown and olive-brown loamy sand. Below a depth of
37 inches this . layer contains discontinuous, firm, dark
yellowish-brown bands.
Most of the acreage of Dick soils is wooded. These soils
are used mainly for production of trees and for permanent
and summer rural homesites. Less than 20 percent of the
acreage has been cleared and is used for crops.

Dimal Series
The Dimal series consists of somewhat excessively drained,
very flaggy'soils underlain by bedrock at a depth of 10 to 20
inches. These soils formed in some of the harder meta-
morphosed sandstones and shale bedrock materials of the
western Olympic Mountain foothill areas. Dimal soils are
on rough, broken mountain slopes and narrow, exposed ridge
crests. Slopes range from 50 to 90 percent. Elevation ranges
from about 1,000 to 3,400 feet. Native forest trees consist
mostly of western hemlock, western redcedar, and Sitka
spruce below elevations of 1,500 feet and Pacific silver fir,
western hemlock, mountain hemlock, and alpine fir at the
higher elevations. Annual precipitation ranges from 140 to
180 inches. The average annual air temperature is about
460F. The above 32"F growing season ranges from 170 to
200 days, and the above 280F growing season ranges from
180 to 220 days. These soils are associated with Itswoot,
Snahopish, and SoDeks soils. .
In a representative profile in a wooded area, about 3
inches of litter and decomposing materials cover the surface.
The upper 3 inches of the soil is dark-brown, very flaggy silty
clay loam. Below this, to a depth of 16 inches, the soil is
dark-brown, very flaggy silty clay loam that is about 75
percent coarse sandstone fragments. Bedrock is below a depth
of 16 inches.
The Dimal soils are among the principal ones of the
higher, steeper, mountainous areas in the western part of
the county. They are used for production of trees, wildlife
habitat, and recreation areas.

Tukey Series
The Tukey series consists of moderately well drained,
gravelly soils that have a very slowly permeable cemented
layer at a depth of 20 to 40 inches. These soils formed on
terraces in glacial till. Slopes range from 0 to 30 percent.
Elevation ranges from slightly above sea. level to about 500
feet. Native vegetation consists mostly of Douglas-fir,
western redceda.r, western hemlock, red alder, willow, wild
cherry, rhododendron, salal, and bracken. Annual precipita-
tion ranges from 17 to 25 inches. The average annual air
temperature is 500 F. The above 32" F growing season is
about 260 days, and the above 280 F growing season is about
320 days. These soils are associated mainly with Agnew,
Cassolary, Clallam, Dick, Everett, and Whidbey soils.
In a representative profile in a wooded area, a thin layer
of organic litter covers the surface. The upper 8 inches of the
soil is gravelly loam that is grayish brown in the upper part
and dark brown in the lower part. Below this, to a depth of
15 inches, is brown gravelly loam. Beneath this, and ex-
tending to a depth of 30 inches, is grayish-brown gravelly
clay loam. The next layer, to a depth of 36 inches, is dark
yello\\oish-brown, hard, firm gravelly loam. Below a depth
of 36 inches is an olive-brown cemented layer that formed in
very compact glacial till. Cobblestones and stones are on
the surface and throughout the soil.
About half the acreage of Tukey soils is in small ranches or
is used for rural homesites and for growing pasture, hay,
