Yelm High School Soccer Field Conversion and Tennis Courts Reconstruction
Yelm, Washington
RWD Project No. 22041
Landau Project No. 1444018.010.011
Introduction
This memorandum summarizes the results of geotechnical engineering services provided by Landau
Associates, Inc. (Landau) in support of the Yelm High School Soccer Field Conversion and Tennis Courts
Reconstruction project, located at 1315 West Yelm Avenue in Yelm, Washington (site; Figure 1). Services
were provided in accordance with the scope outlined in Landau’s proposal, dated September 27, 2022.
This memorandum has been prepared with information provided by RWD Landscape Architects (RWD,
project landscape architect) and Yelm Community Schools (YCS, project owner) and with data collected
during Landau’s geotechnical field exploration and laboratory testing programs.
Project Understanding
YCS proposes to resurface a grass-covered soccer field and rebuild six tennis courts in the northwest
corner of the site. The soccer field will be resurfaced with synthetic turf. RWD retained Landau to complete
a limited field investigation and develop infiltration recommendations for onsite stormwater infiltration.
Site Conditions
The total area of the existing soccer field and tennis courts measures approximately 370 feet (ft) by 400 ft.
An asphalt-paved walkway wraps around the perimeter of the soccer field. The field and courts are
generally flat and level. Topography to the west of the site slopes gently downward; a privately developed
parcel east of the site is elevated 1 to 2 ft above the existing soccer field. Terrain to the north and south is
flat and level. Relevant site features are shown on Figure 2.
Geologic Setting
Geologic information for the site and the surrounding area was obtained from the Washington Geologic
Information Portal (DNR, accessed October 13, 2022). Surficial deposits at the site are mapped as Fraser-
age continental glacial outwash gravels (Qgog), a unit that consists of predominantly sandy gravels and
gravelly sand with cobbles and boulders. This material was deposited during the last glacial recession and
has not been glacially overridden.

A layer of topsoil was observed in Landau’s October 2022 explorations. The topsoil consisted of silty sand
and compost overlying glacial soils; YCS staff stated that the topsoil was placed to help establish grass turf.
Other soil conditions encountered in Landau’s explorations were consistent with the mapped geology for
the site.
Subsurface Explorations
On October 5, 2022, YCS excavated four test pits (TP-1 through TP-4) 8.0 to 9.0 ft below ground surface
(bgs). The approximate locations of the explorations are shown on Figure 2.
Landau personnel coordinated and monitored the field explorations, collected representative soil samples,
and maintained detailed logs of the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions observed. Subsurface
conditions were described using the soil classification system shown on Figure 3, in general accordance
with ASTM International (ASTM) standard D2488, Standard Practice for Description and Identification of
Soils (Visual-Manual Procedures). Summary logs of the explorations are presented on Figures 4 through 7.
Soil samples were transported to Landau’s geotechnical laboratory for further examination and testing.
Natural moisture content determinations were performed on select soil samples in accordance with ASTM
standard test method D2216, Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture)
Content of Soil and Rock by Mass. The natural moisture content is shown as “W = xx” (i.e., percentage of
dry weight) in the “Test Data” column on Figures 4 through 7.
Grain size analyses were performed on select soil samples in accordance with ASTM standard test method
D6913, Standard Test Methods for Particle-Size Distribution (Gradation) of Soils Using Sieve Analysis.
Samples selected for grain size analysis are designated with a “GS” in the “Test Data” column on Figures 4
through 7. Results of the grain size analyses are presented on Figure 8.
Soil Conditions
The soils observed in Landau’s October 2022 explorations were categorized into two units:
• Topsoil: Topsoil was observed in all four test pits and consisted of grass turf over fine to medium
sand with silt. The silty sand was mixed with compost to promote turf growth. The topsoil was in a
loose, damp condition and extended 0.5 ft bgs.
• Recessional Outwash: Recessional outwash was observed beneath the topsoil in all four test pits
and consisted of sandy gravel with cobbles, of gravelly sand with cobbles, of gravelly sand with silt,
and of fine to medium sand. Occasional boulders were observed in test pit TP-1. These variable
soil gradations are typical of a sediment-choked, high-energy, braided river channel downstream
of a receding glacier. The recessional outwash extended to the maximum depth explored.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater was not observed in Landau's October 2022 explorations, though soils were generally damp
during test pit excavation. No seeps or pockets of moist or wet soil were observed. Mottling or other
indicators of a seasonal high groundwater table were not observed.
DRAFT Landau Associates
Summary of Geotechnical Engineering Services
Soccer Field Conversion and Tennis Courts Reconstruction 3 October 24, 2022
The groundwater conditions reported herein are for the specific date and locations indicated and may not
be representative of other locations and/or times. Groundwater conditions will vary depending on local
subsurface conditions, weather conditions, and other factors. Groundwater levels are expected to
fluctuate seasonally, with maximum groundwater levels occurring during late winter and early spring.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on the subsurface conditions observed in Landau’s explorations, site soils are suitable for
stormwater infiltration.
Infiltration Rate Assessment
The site is underlain by soils that will allow for moderate to rapid infiltration. Groundwater was not
observed within the depths explored, and it is unlikely that infiltrated stormwater would mound above the
groundwater table.
Design infiltration rates were estimated using the results of Landau’s geotechnical laboratory tests (Figure
8) and the soil grain size method in the Washington State Department of Ecology’s 2019 Stormwater
Management Manual for Western Washington (hereafter, 2019 SWMMWW). Correction factors were
applied to account for site variability and the number of locations tested (CFv = 0.5), the test method (CFt
= 0.4), and biofouling and siltation effects (CFm = 0.9). Landau used the simplified method to calculate
design infiltration rates of 2.9 to 20 inches per hour, as shown in Table 1. (The 2019 SWMMWW limits
infiltration rates to 20 inches per hour.)

Notes: 1. USCS letter symbols correspond to symbols used by the Unified Soil Classification System and ASTM classification methods. Dual letter symbols
(e.g., SP-SM for sand or gravel) indicate soil with an estimated 5-15% fines. Multiple letter symbols (e.g., ML/CL) indicate borderline or multiple soil
classifications.
2. Soil descriptions are based on the general approach presented in the Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual
Procedure), outlined in ASTM D 2488. Where laboratory index testing has been conducted, soil classifications are based on the Standard Test
Method for Classification of Soils for Engineering Purposes, as outlined in ASTM D 2487.
3. Soil description terminology is based on visual estimates (in the absence of laboratory test data) of the percentages of each soil type and is defined
as follows:
4. Soil density or consistency descriptions are based on judgement using a combination of sampler penetration blow counts, drilling or excavating
conditions, field tests, and laboratory tests, as appropriate.
50% - "GRAVEL," "SAND," "SILT," "CLAY," etc.
50% - "very gravelly," "very sandy," "very silty," etc.
30% - "gravelly," "sandy," "silty," etc.
15% - "with gravel," "with sand," "with silt," etc.
5% - "with trace gravel," "with trace sand," "with trace silt," etc., or not noted.
