This report presents the results of our eologicallgeotechnical assessment for the property located
on the east side of Thorndyke Road at a above noted location in Jefferson County, Washington.
The purpose of this study was to pro 'de an assessment of the property and steep slope area in
order to meet the requirements of Je rson County and to provide design recommendations for
placement and construction of the new residence. We understand that you initially intend to build
a small, two story house on the upper,portion of the lower area of the site. This residence will
eventually become an accessory dwe ling unit (ADU) after the main residence is completed
several -years later. The main residen e will likely be a two story house with daylight basement
on the relatively flat bench area near t e toe of the relatively gentle slope area about 200 feet or
more west of the steep slope overlooks g Hood Canal. See Figure 1, Site and Exploration Plan.
Jefferson County has mapped the to r portion of the site, closest to the steep slope area as a
landslide hazard area, an erasion haz d area and a seismic hazard area. As such, a geotechnical
report addressing these issues is req 'red. This report summarizes our fieldwork and offers
recommendations based on our presen understanding of the project.

The lower area of the site measures o ~ the order of 900 feet long in the east-west direction by
180 feet wide in the north-south dire Lion. The upper (western) portion of the lower area is
relatively flat. Proceeding eastward t e site begins to slope moderately downward toward the
east with a gradient between 15 and 2 percent. This moderate slope gradient extends for about
500 feet before leveling off again to a gentle slope with a gradient less that 15 percent. The
gentle slope area extends for about 2 0~ feet. The far eastern end of the parcel is high bank
above Hood Canal. The high bank is o the order of 50 to 70 feet high and is very steep.
The relatively level (western portion) '~ d moderate slope area are heavily vegetated with small
diameter deciduous trees and native derstory. A portion of the easternmost gentle slope area
(in the area of the proposed septic drai field and future house) has been previously cleazed. The
far eastern portion of the site, extending from the top of the high bank about 200 feet to the west,
is heavily vegetated with lazge diamete evergreen trees and native understory.
No standing or flawing water was ob erved on the lower portion of the site at the time of our
field work. No indications of erosio were observed on the site except along the edge of the
existing gravel driveway where some tarm water had previously concentrated and caused some
minor erosion. This small area of ero ,ion is located several hundred feet to the west of the steep

Hydrology
Ground water was only encountered i' two of the twelve exploration pits excavated on the site
for this study. Ground water was ob ' rued in EP-3 at a depth of 4.3 feet below existing grade
and in EP-4 at a depth of 5.3 feet Belo existing grade.
No standing or flowing water was observed an the subject site at the time of our field
exploration. A small stream of Ovate was observed on the adjacent property to the south. The
water was flowing in a small channel ear the property line. Before the water reached the steep
slope face it was collected into a tightl ne drain pipe and discharged at the toe of the steep slope.

Based an our geological reconnaissan ~ e and literature search, it is our opinion that the existing

following - no major seepage of gro ~ d water was observed on the steep slope, the core of the
slope is comprised of dense to very erase, glacially consolidated sediments and there are no
current indications of slope movement n the site.
Even though the steep slope area belo the proposed project area is generally stable at this time,
it is mapped by Jefferson County as a 1 dslide hazard zone. According to the critical areas maps
provided by Jefferson County, above pproximate elevation 85 feet the site is mapped as having
a slight risk of slope movement. Belo 85 feet the site is mapped as having a high risk of slope
movement.
We also reviewed the Coastal Zone A' las for the subject area. According to the Atlas the upper
portion of the site is mapped as a zon ' of Intermediate Stability and the lower power of the site,
near the very steep high bank area, is apped as Unstable. Several areas of recent landslides are
shown on the Coastal Zone Atlas map Due to the scale we cannot be certain whether or not any
of the mapped areas are located on or jacent to the subject property.
