SECTION 1 —PROJECT OVERVIEW
The "Yelm Apartments" project is located in the NE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 24,
Township 17 North, Range 1 East of the Willamette Meridian in the City of Yelm in
Thurston County, Washington. The proposal consists of construction of(2) 8 unit
apartment buildings for a total of 16 proposed units and associated parking/access and
open space areas onsite. The property is approximately 1.14 acres in size located at the
site address of 304 Longmire St. on parcel #21724410200. Surrounding properties
consist of a golf course to the south and existing Multi-Family complexes. This site will
be served by the City of Yelm for water and sanitary sewer. Additional utilities include
Puget Sound Energy for power and Qwest Communications for telephone.
From looking at Figure 2.2 of Volume I—Minimal Technical Requirements of the 2005
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, since the site does not have
35% or more of existing impervious coverage and the project adds 5,000 square feet or
more of new impervious surfaces, all minimum requirements apply to the new
impervious surfaces and converted pervious surfaces. These requirements are as follows:
Minimum Requirement#l: Preparation of Stormwater Site Plan (This document
satisfies this requirement)
Minimum Requirement#2: Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention (SWPPP)
(See separate document entitled Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan)
Minimum Requirement#3: Source Control of Pollution (See section of this report
entitled Operation & Maintenance Plan which provides information to satisfy this
requirement)
Minimum Requirement#4: Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and Outfalls
(See Section 4 of this report which discusses how we meet this requirement)
Minimum Requirement#5: On-Site Stormwater Management(See Section 4 of this
report which discusses how we meet this requirement)
Minimum Requirement#6: Runoff Treatment(See Section 4 of this report which
discusses how we meet this requirement)
Minimum Requirement#7: Flow Control(See Section 4 of this report which
discusses how we meet this requirement)
Minimum Requirement#8: Wetlands Protection (N/A)
Minimum Requirement#9: Basin/Watershed Planning(See Section 4 of this report
which discusses how we meet this requirement)
Minimum Requirement#10: Operation and Maintenance See section of this report
entitled Operation & Maintenance Plan which provides information to satisfy this
requirement)
2
All of these requirements will therefore be addressed throughout this report and on the
attached Civil Engineering Site Development Plans.
SEC'TIQN 2 - EXISTING CONDITIONS SUMMARY
The site is located east of the intersection of Longmire St. SE and Berry valley Dr. The
project area is currently vacant land and sloping from southwest to northeast. A high
point is situated in the northwest corner at an approximate elevation of 345. The site then
slopes to the northeast to an approximate low point elevation of 340 along the
northeastern property boundary line. The site is presently covered in trees and prairie
grasses/brush. Stormwater runoff presently sheet flows across the site from the
southwest to the northeast and is infiltrated through the "good" onsite soils located across
the site.
Per the S.C.S. soils map, on-site soils consist of Spanaway gravelly sandy loam which
will very conducive to infiltration of stormwater for proposed improvements onsite.
Pacific Geo Engineering, LLC performed an onsite soil investigation on August 6, 2013
at(9) test pit locations onsite to approximate depth of 11 feet and performed field
percolation testing at(3) of these (9)total test pit locations. It was determined from there
testing that an"in field" infiltration rate of 12 in/hr exists onsite within the native soils.
We have taken this information and applied a factor of safety of(2) for a design
infiltration rate for onsite infiltration trench facilities of 6 in/hr which we utilized for our
Final Stormwater Quantity Control design.
SECTION 3 —OFF-SITE ANALYSIS REPORT
100% onsite infiltration is proposed for all runoff generated from proposed onsite
impervious and pervious surfaces so no downstream effects are anticipated from this
proposal. Note that applicable onsite construction stormwater BMPs will be employed to
ensure that downstream properties will not be detrimentally effected in any way from this
proposaL
SECTION 4—PERMANENT STORMWATER CONTROL PLAN
SUB-SECTION 1 —EXISTING SITE HYDROLOGY
As previously discussed, the site is located east of the intersection of Longmire St. SE
and Berry valley Dr. The project area is currently vacant land and sloping from
southwest to northeast. A high point is situated in the northwest corner at an approximate
elevation of 345. The site then slopes to the northeast to an approximate low point
elevation of 340 along the northeastern property boundary line. The site is presently
covered in trees and prairie grasses/brush. Stormwater runoff presently sheet flows
across the site from the southwest to the northeast and is infiltrated through the "good"
free draining soils located across the site.
�
SUB-SECTION 2—DEVELOPED SITE HYDROLOGY
All roof runoff will be collected and infiltrated directly into the ground by individual
building infiltration trenches, since it is considered"clean" per Department of Ecology
standards. Stormwater runoff from all disturbed pervious and impervious on-site
surfaces, including all driveways, sidewalks, parking areas, park area and landscape
islands will be collected via catch basins and routed by a tightlined conveyance system,
sized for the 25-year/24 hour developed storm event, to and through an"Aqua Swirl"
basin for treatment of stormwater prior to release to a propertly sized infiltration trench
for release to groundwater. The infiltration trench systems have been sized to meet
volume requirements from the MGS FLOOD continuous runoff model. Since 100% on-
site retention is being proposed, it is not necessary to analyze a downstream course.
Below are Predeveloped & Developed Site Areas utilized for stormwater quality &
quantity control facility design in the MGS FLOOD modeling program:
Pre-develoqed Site Areas (ONSITE):
Total Site Area: 0.435 AC.
Total Pervious Area: 0.435 AC. (Modeled as "Outwash Forest" in MGS FLOOD
program)
Developed Site Areas (ONSITE):
Total Site Area: 0.435 AC.
Total Impervious Surface Area: 0.435 AC.*
(*includes parking/access, extruded curb & sidewalk)
SUB-SECTION 3—PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND GOALS
Due to our proposal triggering formal stormwater quality and quantity control
requirements per the 2005 Department of Ecology Stormwater manual, we have proposed
an"Aqua Swirl" treatment basin for treatment of stormwater runoff from proposed
pollution generating impervious surfaces (PGIS) (i.e.parking lot runof�. Treated
stormwater will then be routed to an adequately sized infiltration trench for stormwater
quantity control purposes meeting City of Yelm and DOE requirements.
SUB-SECTION 4—FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM
As previously discussed, flow control will be achieved by utilizing infiltration trench
systems throughout the site for contributing building and parking area runof£ As
previously mentioned, we have utilized a design infiltration rate of 6 inlhr for Flow
Control Infiltration Facility design due to findings by the geotechnical engineer(Pacific
Geo Engineering, LLC). See attached MGS Flood calculations within this report for all
pertinent storm trench sizing calculations.
SUB-SECTION 5—WATER QUALITY SYSTEM
As previously mentioned, an"Aqua Swirl"basin will be utilized to provide water quality
for runoff generated from proposed pollution generating impervious surfaces onsite
(PGIS) prior to release to the appropriately sized infiltration trench for release of treated
runoff to groundwater.
�
SUB-SECTION 6—CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The conveyance system has been sized to accommodate the 25-year/24 hour developed
storm event as determined from the MGS FLOOD continuous runoff model (15 min. time
step).
SECTION 5—CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION
PLAN
During the construction of this project, standard erosion control methods such as a
temporary construction entrance and mirafi siltation fences will be utilized to trap
sediment from the cleared areas. A construction entrance will be installed at the entrance
to the project to keep sediment from being tracked out of the site and onto the City roads.
Mirafi silt fences will be installed along all low areas to stop any sediment runoff from
leaving the site. These erosion control measures should be inspected as a minimum on a
weekly basis except during winter conditions or major storm events. During these cases,
the temporary erosion control measures should be inspected on a daily basis and
sedimentation build up removed as necessary to maintain a properly functioning system.
Should the temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures as shown on the
approved plans not prove adequate to control erosion and sedimentation, the
applicant/contractor shall install additional facilities as necessary to protect adjacent
properties, sensitive areas, natural water courses, and/or storm drainage systems.
Permanent erosion control will consist of hydroseeding and/or sod, landscaping, and
paving.
A certified ESC lead shall be available to monitor and report to the City of Yelm on an
ongoing basis during construction until the final inspection of all improvements has been
completed.
The construction sequence for this project should be followed as shown below.
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
1. Call City of Yelm inspector for pre-construction meeting.
2. Clearly flag all limits of clearing and grading per approved plans.
3. Install temporary construction entrance.
4. Install temporary mirafi filter fences.
5. Remove existing structures as indicated on the T.E.S.C. plan. �Acquire appropriate
demolition permits from City of Yelm.
6. Construct temporary sediment/storm ponds per design on this sheet.
7. Clear and grade site per approved plans.
�
8. Any vegetation or other materials taken off site shall be hauled to a City Approved
dump site.
9. Install utilities (i.e. sanitary, water, etc.)
10. Construct paved driveway and storm drain system per approved plans.
11. Provide C.B. protection until road and storm drain system is completed and all
exposed slopes are seeded and stabilized for erosion and sedimentation.
12. Note: The building contractor is responsible for maintenance of storm system
during building and landscape construction.
13. Hydroseed and/or mulch slopes and other exposed areas immediately after grading
is completed as outlined in"erosion control notes".
14. Clean out and test all storm drain facilities.
15. Inspect and maintain all erosion control facilities at regular intervals and complete
required report. Clean as required until risk of sedimentation has passed.
16. Until all projects which produce surface runoff are completed and all exposed
ground surfaces are stabilized by vegetation or landscaping, permanent storm
facilities may not be operated and no surface runoff may be permitted to enter the
permanent storm system.
SECTION 6—SPECIAL REPORTS AND STUDIES
All special reports and/or studies, including a geotechnical report,that will be necessary
for the development of this site will be included with the final engineering submittal.

ATTACHEMENT "A"
Description of River Run Apartments Storm Draina�e Svstem.
All roof runoff will be collected and infiltrated directly into the ground by individual
building infiltration trenches, since it is considered "clean" per Department of Ecology
standards. Stormwater runoff from all disturbed pervious and impervious on-site
surfaces, including all driveways, sidewalks,parking areas, park area and landscape
islands will be collected via catch basins and routed by a tightlined conveyance system,
sized for the 25-year/24 hour developed storm event, to and through an"Aqua Swirl"
basin for treatment of stormwater prior to release to a propertly sized infiltration trench
for release to groundwater. The infiltration trench systems have been sized to meet
volume requirements from the MGS FLOOD continuous runoff model. Since 100%
on-site retention is being proposed, it is not necessary to analyze a downstream course.

The patented Aqua-SwirlT'"Stormwater Treatment System is a hydrodynamic

free oil, and floating debris. Independent university laboratory performance
evaluations have shown that the Aqua-SwirlT'"achieves a TSS removal of 91%
calculated on a net annual basis.
The Aqua-Swirlr"; with a conveyance flow diversion system, allows simple
installation by connecting "directly"to the existing storm conveyance pipe. This
connection provides full treatment of the °first flush,"while the peak design
storm is diverted and channeled through the main conveyance pipe.

Aqua-SwirITM
-� Stormwater Treatment System
The patented Aqua-SwirlT'"
Stormwater Treatment System %._,,'k.�F
provides a highly effective means for �� ;'-
the removal of sediment, floating
debris, and free oil. Swirl technology,
or vortex separation, is a proven
form of treatment utilized in the
stormwater industry to accelerate
gravitationa) separation.
Independent university laboratory
performance evaluations have
shown the Aqua-Swir1T'" achieves a
TSS (Total Suspended Solids)
removal of 91% calculated on a net
annual basis. See the "Performance ��'e,,. _���*
and Testing"Section for more �� "��`�"��
details.
Each Aqua-SwirlT'" is constructed of lightweight and durable materials,
eliminating the need for heavy lifting equipment during installation. Inspection
and maintenance are made easy, with oversized risers that allow for both
examination and cleanout without entering the chamber.
��
-� _System Operation
The Aqua-SwirlT'", with a conveyance flow diversion system, provides full
treatment for the most contaminated "first flush", while the cleaner peak storm
flow is diverted and channeled through the main conveyance pipe. Many
regulatory agencies are in the process of establishing "water quality treatment
flow rates"for specific areas based on the initial migration of pollutants into the
storm drainage system.

The dynamic settling occurs ��'� ��., p ��
during each storm event while � Floatable debris in the Aqua-SwirlT"'
the quiescent settling takes place

drag forces encourages the solids to drop out of the flow and migrate to the
center of the chamber where velocities are the lowest, as shown from extensive
CFD modeling. See "Performance and Testing"for more details.

The treated flow then exits the Aqua-SwiriT'" behind the arched outer bafFie. The
top of the baffle is sealed across the treatment channel, thereby eliminating
floatable pollutants from escaping the system. A vent pipe is extended up the
riser to expose the backside of the bafFle to atmospheric conditions, preventing a
siphon from forming at the bottom of the baffle.
As recommended by the Center for Watershed Protection and several
municipalities, the Aqua-SwirITM can also operate in an ofFline configuration
providing full treatment of the '�first flush." However, this orientation requires the
installation of additional manhole structures to diverge the flow to the Aqua-
Swir1T"" for treatment and conveyance back to the existing main conveyance
storm drainage system.

�- Retrofit Applications
The Aqua-SwirITM system is designed so that it can easily be used for retrofit
applications. With the invert of the inlet and outlet pipe at the same elevation,
the Aqua-SwirITM can easily be connected directly to the existing storm
conveyance drainage system. Furthermore, because of the lightweight nature
and small footprint of the Aqua-SwirlT'", existing infrastructure utilities (i.e.,
wires, poles, trees) would be unaffected by installation.

-..- Inspection
All AquaShieldTM products can be inspected from the surface, eliminating the
need to enter the systems to determine when cleanout should be performed.
In most cases, AquaShieldT'" recommends a quarterly inspection of the
Stormwater Treatment Systems for the first year of operation to develop an
appropriate schedule of maintenance.
Based on experience of the system's first year in operation, we recommend that
the inspection schedule be revised to reflect the site-specific conditions
encountered. Typically, the inspection schedule for subsequent years is reduced
to semi-annual inspection.
�� TM
�,.- Aqua-Swirl Ma�ntenance
The Aqua-SwirITM has been designed to minimize and simplify the inspection and
maintenance process. The system can be inspected and maintained completely
from the surface, thereby eliminating the need for confined space entry.
Furthermore, the entire structure (specifically, the floor) is accessible for visual
inspection from the surface. There are no areas of the structure that are blocked
from visual inspection or periodic cleaning.
Inspection of any free-floating oil and floatable debris can be directly observed
and maintained through the manhole access provided directly over the swirl
chamber.

The only tools needed to inspect the Aqua-
SwirITM system are a flashlight and a
measuring device such as a stadia rod or
pole. Given the tremendous accessibility
provided, floating oil and debris can be
observed directly from the surface. Sediment
depths can easily be determined by lowering
a measuring device to the top of the
sediment pile and to the surface of the
water. When the sediment pile is within 30
�:. to 36 inches of the water surface, the system
` should be maintained.

pile, typically offers less resistance to the
measuring device than the larger particles.

Floatable Debris and Oil
1.Remove manhole lid to expose liquid surface of Aqua-SwirlT"'
2.Remove floatable debris with basket or net if any present.
3.if oil is present,measure its depth. Clean liquids from system if 1/2"or more oil is present(see"Cleaning"Figure 5).
Note: Water in an Aqua-SwiriT""can appear black like oil due to the dark body of the surrounding structure. Oil appears
darker than water in the system and is usually accompanied by debris(e.g.Styrofoam,etc.)with obvious signs of oil stains.
The depth of oil can be measured with an oil/water interface probe,a stadia rod with water phylic paste,
a coliwasa,or by simply collecting a representative sample with a jar attached to a rod.
Sediment Accumulation
Make measurements as follows(see Figures 1 and 2):
1. Lower measuring device(i.e.stadia rod)into Aqua-SwirlT""throught service access provided. (See Figure 2)

Diversion Structures
If a diversion structure is present on the site,this should be inspected for the following items.
1. Inspect weir or other structure for structural decay or damage. Weirs are more susceptible to damage than off-set piping and shouid
be checked to confirm that they are not crumbling,in the case of concrete or brick weirs,or decaying if a steel weir was used.
2.Inspect diversion structure and by-pass piping for signs of structural damage or blockage from debris or sediment accumulation.
3.Measure elevations on diversion weir or piping to ensure it is consistent with site plan design.
4.Inspect downstream structure in diversion system for signs of blockage or structural failure.

ATTACHMENT "B"
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OWNER/S OF
"RIVER RUN APARTMENTS"
POLLUTION SOURCE CONTROLS
The attached material includes information on pollution source controls. Pollution source
controls are actions taken by a person or person representing a business to reduce the amount of
pollution reaching surface and ground waters. Pollution source controls also called"best
management practices" (BMP's) include:
Altering the activity (e.g., substitute not-toxic products or recycle)
Enclosing or covering the activity.
Segregating the activity (e.g. diverting surface water runoff away from an area that is
contaminated.)
Pollution source controls are needed because of the contamination found in surface water
runoff from commercial areas and the effect of this contamination on aquatic life and human
health. Research on urban runoff in the Puget Sound area and elsewhere has found oil and
grease, nutrients, organic substances, toxic metals, bacteria, viruses, and sediments at
unacceptable levels.
Effects of contaminate runoff include closure of shellfish harvesting areas and swimming areas,
pollution of welis, mortality of young fish and other aquatic organisms, tumors on fish, and
impairment of fish reproduction.
The RIVER RtJN APARTMENTS project contains impervious surfaces that will collect
contaminates from automobiles & garbage,. These materials are conveyed to the storm
drainage systems and will enter into the surface water, if not treated properly.
Attachment"B" contains a number of BMP's for various uses within the development site.
The owner shall give a copy of the BMP's suitable to this or her respective activity. If a certain
activity is not contained in Attachment"B",please contact Larson and Associates at 253-474-
3404 for a specific BMP activity type.
�13
REQUIRED ACTIONS OF OWNER
The following actions shall be taken by all owners to ensure that pollution generated on the
Norwood Property is minimized.
1) Warning signs (e.g. "Dump no waste—drains to Stream") shall be stenciled or
embossed adjacent to all catch basin inlets. They shall be repainted once a year
or more as necessary. The planning and Land Services Dept. of Pierce County can be
contacted regarding availability of stencils.
2) Paved roadways shall be swept twice a year. It is recommended that newer high-
velocity vacuum sweeper be used.
3) The storm drainage system shall be maintained per Attachment "A"
4) No activities shall be conducted on the property that is likely to result in a short-term
high concentration discharge of pollution to the storm system. Such activities shall
include, but are not limited to car washes, vehicle maintenance, and cleaning of
equipment and or vehicles, unless the project has been properly permitted for such uses
and the BMP's for such uses have been received by the owner.
5) Automobile fluids, chemicals etc. shall be disposed of legally and properly.
6) All garbage shall be contained in appropriate containers.
��
4.3 BMPs TO CONSIDER FOR ALL ACTIVITIES
This is a summary of items that each business/homeowner should consider. As stated before, most of
these are common sense, housekeeping types of solutions, but if each business/homeowner would take
some action on each of these,the improvement in water quality would be substantial.
1. Avoid the activity or reduce its occurrence
If you can, avoid the activity or do it less frequently. If there a substitute process or a different material
you can use to get the job done? Can you do a larger run of a process at one time,thus reducing the
number of times per week or month it needs to be repeated? For instance,raw materials could be
delivered close to the time of use instead of being stockpiled and exposed to the weather. Perhaps you
could avoid one solvent-washing step altogether. The Department of Ecology or the Tacoma-Pierce
County Health Department can provide pollution prevention assistance.
2. Move the activity indoors
Sometimes it is fairly easy to move an activity indoors out of the weather. The benefits of this are
twofold;you prevent runoff contamination, and you provide for easier, more controlled cleanup if a spill
occurs. An example would be unloading and storing barrels of chemicals inside a garage area instead of
doing it outside. Please be aware that moving storage areas indoors may require installation of fire
suppression equipment or other building modifications as required by the Uniform Building Code,the
Uniform Fire Code, or local ordinances.
3. Use less material
Don't buy or use more material than you really need. This not only helps keep potential disposal,
storage and pollution problems to a minimum, but will probably save you money,too.
4. Use the least toxic materials available
Investigate the use of materials that are less toxic than what you use now. Perhaps a causic-type
detergent or a solvent could be replaced with a more environmentally friendly product. Such a change
might allow you to discharge process water to the sanitary sewer instead of paying for expensive
disposal. Remember that even if you do switch to a biodegradable product, nothing but uncontaminated
water is allowed to enter the storm drain system.
5. Create and maintain vegetated areas near activity locations
Vegetation of various kinds can help filter pollutants out of stormwater, so it is advisable to route
stormwater through vegetated areas located near your activity. For instance, many parking lots contain
grassy islands,typically formed in a"hump". By creating those islands as depressions instead of humps,
they can be used to treat runoff from the parking lot or roo£ Also, don't forget the erosion control
benefits of vegetation at your site.
��
6. Locate activities as far as possible from surface drainage paths
Activities located as far as possible from known drainage paths,ditches, streams, and drains will be less
likely to pollute, since it will take longer for material to reach the drainage feature. This gives you more
time to react in the event of a spill, or if it is a"housekeeping" issue may protect the local waters long
enough for you to clean up the area around the activity. Don't forget that groundwater issues are always
prominent,no matter where the activity is located so the actions taken on your site on a day-to-day basis
are always important,even in dry weather.
7. Keep storm drain systems clean
Pollutants can concentrate over time in storm drainage structures such as catch basins, ditches and storm
drains. When a large storm event occurs, it can mobilize these pollutants and carry them to receiving
waters. Develop and implement maintenance practices, inspections, and schedules for treatment devices
(e.g., detention ponds,oil/water separators,vegetated swales,etc.). Requirements for cleaning catch
basins will be discussed later in the specific BMP 5.9.
8. Reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible
Always look for ways to recycle instead of just disposing. This can save money as well as keep both
hazardous and non-hazardous materials out of the landfills. You can learn more about other businesses
that have made process changes allowing recycling of chemicals by calling the DOE at 1-800-
RECYCLE and requesting publication#9245 and 90-22. Another unique recycling opportunity for
businesses is available through the"matchmaker", helping one company's waste become another
company's asset. For instance,waste peach pits from a cannery become potpourri ingredients to
anothers business. Call IMEX at 206-625-623 to list your potentially usable solid or chemcial waste in
their publication.
9. Be an advocate for stormwater pollution prevention
Help friends,partners and business associates find ways to reduce stormwater pollution in their
activities. Most people want clean water, and do not pollute intentionally. Share your ideas and the
BMPs in this manual to get them thinking about how their everyday activities affect water quality.
10. Report Violators
Allowing anyone to pollute our waters is wrong. We all must do our part to protect water, fish,wildlife
and our own health, by employing proper BMPs, and reporting those who are causing pollution.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MANUAL FOR
THE PUGET SOUND BASIN
II-5.10 BMPS FOR SMALL PARCELS
A Small Parcel Stormwater Management Plan must be developed which satisfies the Small Parcel
Minimum Requirements found in Volume II, Chapter II-2. These in turn may be satisfied by employing
a suitable selection from the following list of BMPs.
BMP ES.10 PLANNED CLEARING AND GRADING
Plan and implementation proper clearing and grading of the site. It is most important only to clear the
areas needed,thus keeping exposed areas to a minimum. Phase clearing so that only those areas that are
actively being worked are uncovered.
Note: Clearin�? limits should be flag�ed in the lot or area prior to initiating clearing,
BMP ES.20 EXCAVATING BASEMENT SOIL
Located excavated basement soil a reasonable distance behind the curb, such as in the backyard or side
yard area. This will increase the distance eroded soil must travel to reach the storm sewer system. Soil
piles should be covered until the soil is either used or removed. Piles should be situated so that
sediment does not run into the street or adjoining yards.
BMP ES.30 BACKFILLING
Backfill basement walls as soon as possible and rou�h grade the lot. This will eliminate large soil
mounds which are highly erodible and prepares the lot for temporary cover which will further reduce
erosion potential.
BMP ES.40 REMOVAL OF EXCESS SOIL
Remove excess soil from the site as soon as possible after backfilling. This will eliminate any sediment
loss from surplus fill.
BMP ES.50 MANAGEMENT OF SOIL BANKS
If a lot has a soil bank higher than the curb, a trench or berm should be installed moving the bank
several feet behind the curb. This will reduce the occurrence of gully and hill erosion while providing a
storage and settling area for stormwater.
BMP ES.60 CONSTRUCTION ROAD ACCESS
Apply gravel or crushed rock to the driveway area and restrict truck traffic to this one route. Driveway
paving can be installed directly over the gravel. This measure will eliminate soil from adhering to tires
and stops soil from washing into the street. This measure requires periodic inspection and maintenance
including washing,top-dressing with additional stone, reworking and compaction. (For further details
see BMP E2.10, Chapter II-5.7.1).
4?
BMP ES.70 SOIL STABILIZATION
Stabilized denuded areas of the site by mulching, seeding, planting, or sodding. For further details on
standards and specifications, see BMPs No. E1.10,E1.15, E1.35, E1.40 in Chapter II-5.
BMP ES.80 STREET CLEANING
Provide for periodic street cleaning to remove any sediment that may have been tracked out. Sediment
should be removed by shoveling or sweeping and carefully removed to a suitable disposal area where it
will not be re-eroded.

BMPs for Dust Description of Pollutant Sources: Dust can cause air and water pollution
Control at problems particularly at demolition sites and in arid areas where reduced
Disturbed Land rainfall exposes soil particles to transport by air.
Areas and
Unpaved Pollutant Control Approach: Minimize dust generation and apply
Roadways and environmentally friendly and government approved dust suppressant
Parking Lots chemicals, if necessary.
Applicable Operational BMPs:
• Sprinkle or wet down soil or dust with water as long as it does not
result in a wastewater discharge.
• Use only local and/or state government approved dust suppressant
chemicals such as those listed in Ecology Publication#96-433,
"Techniques for Dust Prevention and Suppression."
• Avoid excessive and repeated applications of dust suppressant
chemicals. Time the application of dust suppressants to avoid or
minimize their wash-off by rainfall or human activity such as
irrigation.
• Apply stormwater containment to prevent the conveyance of
stormwater TSS into storm drains or receiving waters.
• The use of motor oil for dust control is prohibited. Care should be
taken when using lignin derivatives and other high BOD chemicals in
excavations or areas easily accessible to surface water or ground
water.
• Consult with the Ecology Regional Office in your area on discharge
permit requirements if the dust suppression process results in a
wastewater discharge to the ground, ground water, storm drain, or
surface water.
Recommended Additional Operational BMPs for Roadways and
Other Trafficked Areas:
• Consider limiting use of off-road recreational vehicles on dust
generating land.
• Consider paving unpaved permanent roads and other trafficked areas
at municipal, commercial, and industrial areas.
• Consider paving or stabilizing shoulders of paved roads with gravel,
vegetation, or local government approved chemicals.
• Encourage use of alternate paved routes, if available.
• Vacuum or wet sweep fine dirt and skid control materials from paved
roads soon after winter weather ends or when needed.
• Consider using traction sand that is pre-washed to reduce dust
emissions.
2-96 Vo/ume /V- Source Control BMPs February 2005

Additional Recommended Operational BMPs for Dust Generating
Areas:
• Prepare a dust control plan. Helpful references include: Control of
Open Fugitive Dust Sources (EPA-450/3-88-088), and Fugitive Dust
Background Document and Technical Information Document for Best
Available Control Measures (EPA-450/2-92-004)
• Limit exposure of soil (dust source) as much as feasible.
• Stabilize dust-generating soil by growing and maintaining vegetation,
mulching, topsoiling, and/or applying stone, sand, or gravel.
• Apply windbreaks in the soil such as trees, board fences, tarp curtains,
bales of hay, etc.
• Cover dust-generating piles with wind-impervious fabric, or equivalent
material.

BMPs for Description of Pollutant Sources: Landscaping can include grading, soil
Landscaping transfer, vegetation removal, pesticide and fertilizer applications, and
and Lawn/ watering. Stormwater contaminants include toxic organic compounds,
Vegetation heavy metals, oils,total suspended solids, coliform bacteria, fertilizers, and
Management pesticides.
Lawn and vegetation management can include control of objectionable
weeds, insects, mold, bacteria and other pests with chemical pesticides and
is conducted commercially at commercial, industrial, and residential sites.
Examples include weed control on golf course lawns, access roads, and
utility corridors and during landscaping; sap stain and insect control on
lumber and logs; rooftop moss removal; killing nuisance rodents;
fungicide application to patio decks, and residential lawn/plant care.
Toxic pesticides such as pentachlorophenol, carbamates, and
organometallics can be released to the environment by leaching and
dripping from treated parts, container leaks, product misuse, and outside
storage of pesticide contaminated materials and equipment. Poor
management of the vegetation and poor application of pesticides or
fertilizers can cause appreciable stormwater contamination.
Pollutant Control Approach: Control of fertilizer and pesticide
applications, soil erosion, and site debris to prevent contamination of
stormwater.
Develop and implement an Integrated Pest Management Plan(IPM) and
use pesticides only as a last resort. If pesticides/herbicides are used they
must be carefully applied in accordance with label instructions on U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered materials. Maintain
appropriate vegetation, with proper fertilizer application where
practicable, to control erosion and the discharge of stormwater pollutants.
Where practicable grow plant species appropriate for the site, or adjust the
soil properties of the subject site to grow desired plant species.
Applicable Operational BMPs for Landscaping:
• Install engineered soil/landscape systems to improve the infiltration
and regulation of stormwater in landscaped areas.
• Do not dispose of collected vegetation into waterways or storm
drainage systems.
Recommended Additional Operational BMPs for Landscaping:
� Conduct mulch-mowing whenever practicable
• Dispose of grass clippings, leaves, sticks, or other collected vegetation,
by composting, if feasible.
February 2005 Vo/ume IV- Source Control BMPs 2-23
5t
• Use mulch or other erosion control measures when soils are exposed
for more than one week during the dry season or two days during the
rainy season.
• If oil or other chemicals are handled, store and maintain appropriate oil
and chemical spill cleanup materials in readily accessible locations.
Ensure that employees are familiar with proper spill cleanup
procedures.
• Till fertilizers into the soil rather than dumping or broadcasting onto
the surface. Determine the proper fertilizer application for the types of
soil and vegetation encountered.
• Till a topsoil mix or composted organic material into the soil to create
a well-mixed transition layer that encourages deeper root systems and
drought-resistant plants.
• Use manual and/or mechanical methods of vegetation removal rather
than applying herbicides, where practical.
Applicable Operational BMPs for the Use of Pesticides:
• Develop and implement an IPM (See section on IPM at end of BMP)
and use pesticides only as a last resort.
• Implement a pesticide-use plan and include at a minimum: a list of
selected pesticides and their specific uses; brands, formulations,
application methods and quantities to be used; equipment use and
maintenance procedures; safety, storage, and disposal methods; and
monitoring, record keeping, and public notice procedures. All
procedures shall conform to the requirements of Chapter 17.21 RCW
and Chapter 16-228 WAC (Appendix IV-D R.7).
• Choose the least toxic pesticide available that is capable of reducing
' the infestation to acceptable levels. The pesticide should readily
degrade in the environment and/or have properties that strongly bind it
to the soil. Any pest control used should be conducted at the life stage
when the pest is most vulnerable. For example, if it is necessary to use
a Bacillus thurin�iens is application to control tent caterpillars, it must
be applied before the caterpillars cocoon or it will be ineffective. Any
method used should be site-specific and not used wholesale over a
wide area.
• Apply the pesticide according to label directions. Under no conditions
shall pesticides be applied in quantities that exceed manufacturer's
instructions.
• Mix the pesticides and clean the application equipment in an area
where accidental spills will not enter surface or ground waters, and
will not contaminate the soil.
2-24 Volume IV- Source Control BMPs February 2005
52
• Store pesticides in enclosed areas or in covered impervious
containment. Ensure that pesticide contaminated stormwater or
spills/leaks of pesticides are not discharged to starm drains. Do not
hose down the paved areas to a storm drain or conveyance ditch. Store
and maintain appropriate spill cleanup materials in a location known to
all near the storage area.
• Clean up any spilled pesticides and ensure that the pesticide
contaminated waste materials are kept in designated covered and
contained areas.
• The pesticide application equipment must be capable of immediate
shutoff in the event of an emergency.
• Do not spray pesticides within 100 feet of open waters including
wetlands, ponds, and streams, sloughs and any drainage ditch or
channel that leads to open water except when approved by Ecology or
the local jurisdiction. All sensitive areas including wells, creeks and
wetlands must be flagged prior to spraying.
• As required by the local government or by Ecology, complete public
posting of the area to be sprayed prior to the application.
• Spray applications should only be conducted during weather
conditions as specified in the label direction and applicable local and
state regulations. Do not apply during rain or immediately before
expected rain.
Recommended Additional Operational BMPs for the use of pesticides:
• Consider alternatives to the use of pesticides such as covering or
harvesting weeds, substitute vegetative growth, and manual weed
control/moss removal.
• Consider the use of soil amendments, such as compost,that are known
to control some common diseases in plants, such as Pythium root rot,
ashy stem blight, and parasitic nematodes. The following are three
possible mechanisms for disease control by compost addition(USEPA
Publication 530-F-9-044):
1. Successful competition for nutrients by antibiotic production;
2. Successful predation against pathogens by beneficial
microorganism; and
3. Activation of disease-resistant genes in plants by composts.
Installing an amended soil/landscape system can preserve both the plant
system and the soil system more effectively. This type of approach
provides a soil/landscape system with adequate depth,permeability, and
organic matter to sustain itself and continue working as an effective
stormwater infiltration system and a sustainable nutrient cycle.
February 2005 Vo/ume /V- Source Control BMPs 2-25
��
• Once a pesticide is applied, its effectiveness should be evaluated for
possible improvement. Records should be kept showing the
applicability and inapplicability of the pesticides considered.
• An annual evaluation procedure should be developed including a
review of the effectiveness of pesticide applications, impact on buffers
and sensitive areas (including potable wells), public concerns, and
recent toxicological information on pesticides used/proposed for use.
If individual or public potable wells are located in the proximity of
commercial pesticide applications contact the regional Ecology
hydrogeologist to determine if additional pesticide application control
measures are necessary.
• Rinseate from equipment cleaning and/or triple-rinsing of pesticide
containers should be used as product or recycled into product.
• The application equipment used should be capable of immediate
shutoff in the event of an emergency.
For more information, contact the WSU Extension Home-Assist Program,
(253) 445-4556, or Bio-Integral Resource Center (BIRC), P.O. Box 7414,
Berkeley, CA.94707, or the Washington Department of Ecology to obtain
"Hazardous Waste Pesticides" (Publication #89-41); and/or EPA to
obtain a publication entitled "Suspended, Canceled and Restricted
Pesticides" which lists all restricted pesticides and the specific uses that
are allowed. Valuable information from these sources may also be
available on the internet.
Applicable Operational BMPs for Vegetation Management:
• Use at least an eight-inch "topsoil" layer with at least 8 percent organic
matter to provide a sufficient vegetation-growing medium. Amending
existing landscapes and turf systems by increasing the percent organic
matter and depth of topsoil can substantially improve the permeability
of the soil, the disease and drought resistance of the vegetation, and
reduce fertilizer demand. This reduces the demand for fertilizers,
herbicides, and pesticides. Organic matter is the least water-soluble
form of nutrients that can be added to the soil. Composted organic
matter generally releases only between 2 and 10 percent of its total
nitrogen annually, and this release corresponds closely to the plant
growth cycle. If natural plant debris and mulch are returned to the
soil, this system can continue recycling nutrients indefinitely.
• Select the appropriate turfgrass mixture for your climate and soil type.
Certain tall fescues and rye grasses resist insect attack because the
symbiotic endophytic fungi found naturally in their tissues repel or kill
common leaf and stem-eating lawn insects. They do not, however,
repel root-feeding lawn pests such as Crane Fly larvae, and are toxic to
ruminants such as cattle and sheep. The fungus causes no known
2-26 Volume IV- Source Control BMPs February 2005
54
adverse effects to the host plant or to humans. Endophytic grasses are
commercially available and can be used in areas such as parks or golf
courses where grazing does not occur. The local Cooperative
Extension office can offer advice on which types of grass are best
suited to the area and soil type.
• Use the following seeding and planting BMPs, or equivalent BMPs to
obtain information on grass mixtures, temporary and permanent
seeding procedures, maintenance of a recently planted area, and
fertilizer application rates: Temporary Seeding, Mulching and Matting,
Clear Plastic Covering, Permanent Seeding and Planting, and Sodding
as described in Volume II).
• Selection of desired plant species can be made by adjusting the soil
properties of the subject site. For example, a constructed wetland can
be designed to resist the invasion of reed canary grass by layering
specific strata of organic matters (e.g., compost forest product
residuals) and creating a mildly acidic pH and carbon-rich soil
medium. Consult a soil restoration specialist for site-specific
conditions.
• Aerate lawns regularly in areas of heavy use where the soil tends to
become compacted. Aeration should be conducted while the grasses
in the lawn are growing most vigorously. Remove layers of thatch
greater than 3/4-inch deep.
• Mowing is a stress-creating activity for turfgrass. When grass is
mowed too short its productivity is decreased and there is less growth
of roots and rhizomes. The turf becomes less tolerant of
environmental stresses, more disease prone and more reliant on outside
means such as pesticides, fertilizers and irrigation to remain healthy.
Set the mowing height at the highest acceptable level and mow at
times and intervals designed to minimize stress on the turf. Generally
mowing only 1/3 of the grass blade height will prevent stressing the
turf.
Irrigation:
• The depth from which a plant normally extracts water depends on the
rooting depth of the plant. Appropriately irrigated lawn grasses
normally root in the top 6 to 12 inches of soil; lawns irrigated on a
daily basis often root only in the top 1 inch of soil. Improper irrigation
can encourage pest problems, leach nutrients, and make a lawn
completely dependent on artificial watering. The amount of water
applied depends on the normal rooting depth of the turfgrass species
used, the available water holding capacity of the soil, and the
efficiency of the irrigation system. Consult with the local water utility,
Conservation District, or Cooperative Extension office to help
determine optimum irrigation practices.
February 2005 Vo/ume IV- Source Control BMPs 2-27
�'S
Fertilizer Management:
• Turfgrass is most responsive to nitrogen fertilization, followed by
potassium and phosphorus. Fertilization needs vary by site depending
on plant, soil and climatic conditions. Evaluation of soil nutrient
levels through regular testing ensures the best possible efficiency and
economy of fertilization. For details on soils testing, contact the local
Conservation District or Cooperative Extension Service.
• Fertilizers should be applied in amounts appropriate for the target
vegetation and at the time of year that minimizes losses to surface and
ground waters. Do not fertilize during a drought or when the soil is
dry. Alternatively, do not apply fertilizers within three days prior to
predicted rainfall. The longer the period between fertilizer application
and either rainfall or irrigation, the less fertilizer runoff occurs.
• Use slow release fertilizers such as methylene urea, IDBU, or resin
coated fertilizers when appropriate, generally in the spring. Use of
slow release fertilizers is especially important in areas with sandy or
gravelly soils.
� Time the fertilizer application to periods of maximum plant uptake.
Generally fall and spring applications are recommended, although
WSU turf specialists recommend four fertilizer applications per year.
• Properly trained persons should apply all fertilizers. At commercial
and industrial facilities fertilizers should not be applied to grass
swales, filter strips, or buffer areas that drain to sensitive water bodies
unless approved by the local jurisdiction.
Integrated Pest Management
An IPM program might consist of the following steps:
Step 1: Correctly identify problem pests and understand their life cycle
Step 2: Establish tolerance thresholds for pests.
Step 3: Monitor to detect and prevent pest problems.
Step 4: Modify the maintenance program to promote healthy plants and
discourage pests.
Step 5: Use cultural, physical, mechanical, or biological controls first if
pests exceed the tolerance thresholds.
Step 6: Evaluate and record the effectiveness of the control and modify
maintenance practices to support lawn or landscape recovery and prevent
recurrence.
For an elaboration of these steps refer to Appendix IV-F.

BMPS fOr Description of Pollutant Sources: Facilities include roadside catch
Maintenance of basins on arterials and within residential areas, conveyance systems,
Stormwater detention facilities such as ponds and vaults, oil and water separators,
Drainage and biofilters, settling basins, infiltration systems, and all other types of
Treatment stormwater treatment systems presented in Volume V. Roadside catch
Systems basins can remove from 5 to 15 percent of the pollutants present in
stormwater. When catch basins are about 60 percent full of sediment, they
cease removing sediments. Oil and grease, hydrocarbons, debris, heavy
metals, sediments and contaminated water are found in catch basins, oil
and water separators, settling basins, etc.
Pollutant Control Approach: Provide maintenance and cleaning of
debris, sediments, and oil from stormwater collection, conveyance, and
treatment systems to obtain proper operation.
Applicable Operational BMPs:
Maintain stormwater treatment facilities according to the O & M
procedures presented in Section 4.6 of Volume V in addition to the
following BMPs:
• Inspect and clean treatment BMPs, conveyance systems, and catch
basins as needed, and determine whether improvements in O &M are
needed.
• Promptly repair any deterioration threatening the structural integrity of
the facilities. These include replacement of clean-out gates, catch
basin lids, and rock in emergency spillways.
• Ensure that storm sewer capacities are not exceeded and that heavy
sediment discharges to the sewer system are prevented.
• Regularly remove debris and sludge from BMPs used far peak-rate
control, treatment, etc. and discharge to a sanitary sewer if approved
by the sewer authority, or truck to a local or state government
approved disposal site.
• Clean catch basins when the depth of deposits reaches 60 percent of
the sump depth as measured from the bottom of basin to the invert of
the lowest pipe into or out of the basin. However, in no case should
there be less than six inches clearance from the debris surface to the
invert of the lowest pipe. Some catch basins (for example, WSDOT
Type 1 L basins) may have as little as 12 inches sediment storage
below the invert. These catch basins will need more frequent
inspection and cleaning to prevent scouring. Where these catch basins
are part of a stormwater collection and treatment system, the system
owner/operator may choose to concentrate maintenance efforts on
downstream control devices as part of a systems approach.
2-40 Volume /V- Source Control BMPs February 2005

• Clean woody debris in a catch basin as frequently as needed to ensure
proper operation of the catchbasin.
• Post warning signs; "Dump No Waste - Drains to Ground Water,"
"Streams," "Lakes," or emboss on or adjacent to all storm drain inlets
where practical.
• Disposal of sediments and liquids from the catch basins must comply
with"Recommendations for Management of Street Wastes" described
in Appendix IV-G of this volume.
Additional Applicable BMPs: Select additional applicable BMPs from
this chapter depending on the pollutant sources and activities conducted at
the facility. Those BMPs include:
• BMPs for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control at Industrial Sites
• BMPs for Storage of Liquid, Food Waste, or Dangerous Waste
Containers
• BMPs for Spills of Oil and Hazardous Substances
• BMPs for Illicit Connections to Storm Drains
• BMPs for Urban Streets.

BMPs for Description of Pollutant Sources: Public and commercial parking lots
Parking and such as retail store, fleet vehicle (including rent-a-car lots and car
Storage of dealerships), equipment sale and rental parking lots, and parking lot
Vehicles and driveways, can be sources of toxic hydrocarbons and other organic
Equipment compounds, oils and greases, metals, and suspended solids caused by the
parked vehicles.
Pollutant Control Approach: If the parking lot is a high-use site as
defined below, provide appropriate oil removal equipment for the
contaminated stormwater runoff.
Applicable Operational BMPs:
• If washing of a parking lot is conducted, discharge the washwater to a
sanitary sewer, if allowed by the local sewer authority, or other
approved wastewater treatment system, or collect it for off-site
disposal.
• Do not hose down the area to a storm drain or to a receiving water.
Sweep parking lots, storage areas, and driveways, regularly to collect
dirt, waste, and debris.
Applicable Treatment BMPs: An oil removal system such as an API or
CP oil and water separator, catch basin filter, or equivalent BMP,
approved by the local jurisdiction, is applicable for parking lots meeting
the threshold vehicle traffic intensity level of a high-use site.
Vehicle High-Use Sites
Establishments subject to a vehicle high-use intensity have been
determined to be significant sources of oil contamination of stormwater.
Examples of potential high use areas include customer parking lots at fast
food stores, grocery stores,taverns, restaurants, large shopping malls,
discount warehouse stores, quick-lube shops, and banks. If the PGIS for a
high-use site exceeds 5,000 square feet in a threshold discharge area, and
oil control BMP from the Oil Control Menu is necessary. A high-use site
at a commercial or industrial establishment has one of the following
characteristics: (Gaus/King County, 1994)
• Is subject to an expected average daily vehicle traffic (ADT) count
equal to or greater than 100 vehicles per 1,000 square feet of gross
building area: or
• Is subject to storage of a fleet of 25 or more diesel vehicles that are
over 10 tons gross weight(trucks, buses, trains, heavy equipment,
etc.).

at Manufacturing pollutants caused by leaching of roofing materials, building vents, and
and Commercial other air emission sources. Vapors and entrained liquid and solid
Buildings droplets/particles have been identified as potential pollutants in
roof/building runoff. Metals, solvents, acidic/alkaline pH, BOD, and
organics, are some of the pollutant constituents identified.
Pollutant Control Approach: Evaluate the potential sources of
stormwater pollutants and apply source control BMPs where feasible.
Applicable Operational Source Control BMPs:
• If leachates and/or emissions from buildings are suspected sources of
stormwater pollutants, then sample and analyze the stormwater
draining from the building.
• If a roof/building stormwater pollutant source is identified, implement
appropriate source control measures such as air pollution control
equipment, selection of materials, operational changes, material
recycle, process changes, etc.

Hazardous distributing, refining or consuming oil and/or oil products are required by
Substances Federal Law to have a Spill Prevention and Control Plan if the storage
capacity of the facility, which is not buried, is 1,320 gallons or more of oil,
or any single container with a capacity in excess of 660 gallons and which,
due to their location, could reasonably be expected to discharge oil in
harmful quantities, as defined in 40 CFR Part 110, into or upon the
navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines {40 CFR
112.1 (b)}. Onshore and offshore facilities, which, due to their location,
could not reasonably be expected to discharge oil into or upon the
navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines are exempt
from these regulations {40 CFR 112.1(1)(i)}. Owners of businesses that
produce Dangerous Wastes are also required by State Law to have a spill
control plan. These businesses should refer to Appendix IV-D R.6. The
federal definition of oil is oil of any kind or any form, including,but not
limited to petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, oil refuse, and oil mixed with wastes
other than dredged spoil.
Pollutant Control Approach: Maintain, update, and implement an oil
spill prevention/cleanup plan.

• Pave the area and install a stormwater drainage system. Place curbs or
berms along the perimeter of the area to prevent the run-on of unconta-
minated stormwater and to collect and convey runoff to treatment.
Slope the paved area in a manner that minimizes the contact between
stormwater(e.g., pooling) and leachable materials in compost, logs,
bark, wood chips, etc.
• For large stockpiles that cannot be covered, implement containment
practices at the perimeter of the site and at any catch basins as needed
to prevent erosion and discharge of the stockpiled material offsite or to
a storm drain. Ensure that contaminated stormwater is not discharged
directly to catch basins without conveying through a treatment BMP.
Applicable Treatment BMP: Convey contaminated stormwater from the
stockpile area to a wet pond, wet vault, settling basin, media filter, or other
appropriate treatment system depending on the contamination.
Recommended Additional Operational BMPs:
• Maintain drainage areas in and around storage of solid materials with a
minimum slope of 1.5 percent to prevent pooling and minimize
leachate formation. Areas should be sloped to drain stormwater to the
perimeter where it can be collected, or to internal drainage
"alleyways"where material is not stockpiled.
• Sweep paved storage areas regularly for collection and disposal of
loose solid materials.
• If and when feasible, collect and recycle water-soluble materials
(leachates) to the stockpile.
• Stock cleanup materials, such as brooms, dustpans, and vacuum
sweepers near the storage area.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the findings of our subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering
evaluation for a proposed development, to be located at 304 Longmire Street, Yelm, Washington. The
general location of the site is shown on the Vicinity Map, Figure 1. The work was performed in general
accordance with our proposal No. 13-06-390, dated July 09, 2013, which was authorized by the client on
the same day.
2.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The development plan calls for constructing two apartment buildings, associated driveways and
roadways, and shallow underground infiltration systems. Based on our experience with similar projects,
we anticipate that the buildings will be single- or double-story wood-framed structures with loading
carried primarily by a system of bearing walls.We expect bearing wall loads will be in the range of 2 to 3
kips per lineal foot, isolated column loads in the range of 30 to 40 kips, and slab-on-grade floor loads of
150 pounds per square foot (ps�. We further expect that the first floor levels of the buildings will be
constructed at grade or framed over a crawl space area.
Final grading plan is not prepared yet for the subject development. However, we assume that
minor amount of cuts and fills are likely to take place across the proposed building pad areas of the
subject tracts to achieve the final grades in this site. We understand some sort of storm water
management system will be built in this site to manage the stormwater runoff and the rooftop water of the
proposed development. The proposed development will include several asphalt-paved driveways. We
anticipate vehicle traffic will primarily consist of passenger cars and occasional waste management
trucks.The current topography of the site are shown on the Site and Soil Exploration Plan,Figure 2.
The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based upon our understanding
of the above design features of the development. We recommend that PGE should be allowed to review
the final grades and the actual features after the final construction plans are prepared so that the
conclusions and recommendations contained in this report may be re-evaluated and modified, if
necessary.

3.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the geotechnical aspects of the proposed development,
and to identify and address the geotechnical issues that may impact the proposed site development. The
scope of this geotechnical study included field explorations, laboratory testing, geologic literature
review, and engineering evaluation of the field and laboratory data. This study also included
interpretation of this information to generate pertinent geotechnical recommendations and conclusions
that may be used for the design and construction of the development.
The scope of our work did not include any wetland study, or any environmental analysis or
evaluation to find the presence of any hazardous or toxic materials in the soil, surface water, groundwater,
or air in or around this site.
3.1 Field Investigation
We explored the subsurface conditions in the subject site on August 06, 2013. A total of nine (9)
test pits planned by Larson and Associates were excavated during our explorations to depths of about 11
feet below the existing grades, and were backfilled with loosely compacted excavated soils. Several field
percolation tests were performed in test pit TP-1,TP-2, and TP-7 at 4 feet below the current grades.
The test pits were completed using a backhoe provided by the client. The specific number and
the locations of the test pits were selected and plotted on the site plan, referenced above in item 2,
prepared by Larson and Associates. This plan is reproduced in the Site and Soil Exploration Plan by PGE
in Figure 2.
An engineering geologist from our firm observed the excavations, continually logged the
subsurface conditions in each test pit, collected representative bulk samples from different soil layers,
and observed pertinent site features. Samples were designated according to the test pit number and depth,
stored in watertight plastic containers, and later on transported to our laboratory for further visual
examination.
Results of the field investigation are presented on the test pit log,which is presented on Page A-1
of Appendix A. The final log is modified based on the interpretation of our field logs and visual
examination of the samples in the laboratory. Due to the similar nature of soils encountered in the test
pits throughout the site,only one test pit log is prepared representing the soils encountered in all test pits.

3.2 Laboratory Testing
The bulk samples were visually classified in the field and laboratory, and later on supplemented
by grain size analyses and moisture content tests to evaluate the general physical properties and
engineering characteristics of the soils encountered. Two (2) Percent Passing #200 Sieve tests were
performed on two (2) selected samples in accordance with the ASTM D-1140 procedure, the results of
which are presented in the test pit log in Appendix A.
3.3 Engineering Evaluation
The results from the field and laboratory tests were evaluated and engineering analyses were
performed to provide pertinent information and recommendations on the following geotechnical aspects of
the proposed site development:
• Soil and groundwater conditions of the site.
• Earthwork including site preparation, clearing and grubbing, excavation, placement and
compaction of structural fills, and subgrade preparation.
• Structural fills and use of the on-site soils as structural fill.
• Dry weather construction.
• Temporary and permanent excavation slopes.
• Temporary construction dewatering. �
• Site drainage including permanent subsurface drainage systems and temporary groundwater
control measures, if necessary.
• Foundation types and allowable bearing capacity for supporting the proposed residences.
• Settlement due to the recommended bearing capacity and observed soil conditions.
• Frictional and passive values for the resistance of lateral forces.
• Subgrade preparation for slab-on-grade.
• Seismic design considerations, including the site coefficient per IBC 2003.
• Pavement thickness recommendations.
• Geologic hazards: erosion, seismic, and landslide.

4.0 SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE FEATURES
4.1 Site Locations
The subject site is located at 304 Longmire Street in Yelm, Thurston County, Washington,which
is shown on the Vicinity Map,Figure 1.
4.2 Site Descriptions
The site has an access near its southwestern corner from the intersection of Berry Valley Dr. and
Longmire St. SE. In general, the site is almost a level ground with minor downward slope from its
northern edge to the southern edge, with the elevations range from 342 to 348. The topography is shown
on the Site&Exploration Plan,Figure 2.
4.3 Regional Geology
The site is in the Puget Sound Lowland, a north-south trending structural and topographic
depression lying between Olympic Mountains on the west and Cascade Mountains on the east. The
lowland depression experienced successive glaciation and nonglaciation activities over the time of
Pleistocene period. During the most recent Fraser glaciation, which advanced from and retreated to
British Columbia between 13,000 and 20,000 years ago, the lowland depression was buried under about
3,000 feet of continental glacial ice. During the successive glacial and nonglacial intervals, the lowland
depression, which is underlain by Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary bedrock, was filled up above the
bedrocks to the present-day land surface with Quaternary sediments, which consisted of Pleistocene
glacial and nonglacial sediments. The glacial deposits include concrete-like lodgement till, lacustrine
silt, fine sand and clay, advance and recessional outwash composed of sand or sand and gravel, and some
glaciomarine materials. The nonglacial deposits include largely fluvial sand and gravel, overback silt and
clay deposits, and peat attesting to the sluggish stream environments that were apparently widespread
during nonglacial times.
4.4 Visual Soil Descriptions
In general, the site is underlain by approximately 24 inches thick brown silty sandy soils
containing abundant gravels and cobbles, and roots and organics. This soils are underlain by a soil
deposit consisted of primarily gravels, cobbles, and boulders with some sands and trace silts upto the
bottom of the exploration depths. In general,the soils are in loose consistencies in the upper 4 feet depth,
and in medium dense consistencies below that depth. The soils have good permeability characteristics.

4.5 Groundwater Conditions
No groundwater or seepage, or any sign of mottling was noticed in the test pits within their
exploration depths. It is to be noted that seasonal fluctuations in the groundwater elevations and the
presence of perched water in the upper permeable loams may be expected in the amount of rainfall,
surface runoff, and other factors not apparent at the time of our exploration. Typically, the groundwater
levels rise higher and the seepage flow rates increase during the wet winter months in the Puget Sound
area. The possibility of groundwater level fluctuations and the presence of perched water.and seepage
through excavations must be considered when designing and developing the proposed development in
this site.
The preceding discussion on the subsurface conditions of the site is intended as a general review
to highlight the major subsurface stratification features and material characteristics. For more complete
and specific information at individual test pit locations, please review the Test Pit Log (Page A-1)
included in Appendix A. This log include soil descriptions, stratification, and location of the samples and
laboratory test data. It should be noted that the stratification lines shown on the log represent the
approximate boundaries between various soil strata; actual transitions may be more gradual or more
severe. The subsurface conditions depicted in the log are for the test pit locations indicated only, and it
should not necessarily be expected that these conditions are representative at other locations of the site.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 General
Based on this study, there are no geotechnical considerations that would preclude the proposed
development as planned,therefore,the subject site is considered suitable for the proposed development.
The proposed structures, e.g., buildings, slab-on-grades, driveways, pavements, and any other
structures may be supported on the native soils, provided the final subgrades for such structures are to be
prepared as per the recommendations provided in this section and in its following sections. We
recommend that the building footings, floor slabs if slab-on-grade type is chosen, the driveways and the
pavements, and any other structures must be placed on the firm, unyielding soils, either consisted of
native soils, existing fills, or newly placed structural fills. The final grade preparation and the final
grades to support any structures must be monitored and approved, respectively, by the geotechnical
special inspector during the construction phases of the project.
Based on the findings of our subsurface explorations the native soils encountered in this site
within the shallow depths of approximately 4 feet below the existing grades are found in general,in loose

consistencies. If these soils have to support new structures, e.g., foundations, floor slabs, retaining walls,
driveways, pavements, new structural fills, and any other structures then these soils must be adequately
proofrolled with a big vibratory roller to increase these sand deposits' compactions and their bearing
capacity values. In addition to the regular proofrolling effort we believe that extra compaction effort will
be needed to compact the upper loose soil deposits and to transmit the compaction effort to greater
depths. It should be noted that the proofrolling and the resulting compactions of the soil deposits should
be achieved to its firm and unyielding conditions, and to a minimum of 95% compaction of the native
sand's Modified Proctor dry density value to develop a stable and firm final subgrades.
The soil deposits encountered in the test pits are found of good permeability characteristics,
therefore, are considered to be conducive for installing infiltration system.
The remainder of this section (5.0) presents specific engineering recommendations on the
pertinent geotechnical aspects that are anticipated for the design and construction of the proposed
development. These recommendations should be incorporated into the final design and drawings, and
construction specifications.
5.2 Site Preparation
Preparation of the site should involve clearing, stripping, subgrade proofrolling, cutting, filling,
excavations, dewatering, and drainage installations. The following paragraphs provide specific
recommendations on these issues.
5.2.1 Clearing and Grubbing
Initial site preparation for construction of new buildings, driveways, pavements, and any other
structures should include stripping of vegetation and topsoil from the site. Based on the topsoil thickness
encountered at our test pit locations, we anticipate topsoil stripping depths of about 12 to 18 inches,
however, thicker layers of topsoil may be present in unexplored portions of the site. It should be realized
that if the stripping operation takes place during wet winter months, it is typical a greater stripping depth
might be necessary; therefore, stripping is best performed during dry weather period. Stripped vegetation
debris should be removed from the site. Stripped organic topsoils will not be suitable for use as structural
fill but may be used for future landscaping purposes.
5.2.2 Subgrade Preparation
After the site clearing and site stripping, cut and fill operations can be initiated to establish
desired driveways and building grades. Any exposed subgrades that are intended to provide direct

support for new construction and/or require new fills should be adequately proofrolled to evaluate their
condition. Proofrolling should be done with a loaded dump truck or front-end loader under the
supervision of a geotechnical engineer, and/or must be probed with a T-probe by the geotechnical
engineer to identify the presence of any isolated soft and yielding areas and to verify that stable
subgrades are achieved to support the buildings, driveways, and the new fills. As mentioned earlier in
Section 5.1, in addition to the regular proofrolling an extra compaction effort will be required during the
proofrolling of the native sand deposit to enhance their bearing capacity values. It should be noted that
the proofrolling and the resulting compactions of the sand deposits should be achieved to its firm and
unyielding conditions, and to a minimum of 95% compaction of the native sand's Modified Proctor dry
density value to develop a stable and firm final subgrades.
The loosely backfilled soils in the areas of exploratory test pits should be overexcavated
completely to the firm native soils and backfilled with adequately compacted new structural fills to the
final grades. Tree stumps and large root balls should be removed completely and backfilled with new
structural fills to the desired subgrade levels.
5.2.3 Reuse of On-Site Soils
The ability to use on-site soils obtained from the site excavations as structural fills depends on
the gradation, moisture content of the soils, and the prevailing weather conditions exist during the
grading activities. As the fines content(that portion passing the U.S.No. 200 sieve)of a soil increases, it
becomes increasingly sensitive to small changes in moisture content, and adequate compaction becomes
more difficult or impossible to achieve. Soils containing more than about 5 percent fines by weight
cannot be consistently compacted to the recommend degree when the moisture content is more than about
2 percent above or below the optimum.
The native sand encountered in the test pit locations has percentages passing #200 sieve ranges
from 0.7% to 1.3%. Based on these very low fines content the native soils are considered suitable for
reusing them as new structural fills during the any weather period, dry or wet. However, it should be
noted that the native soils are primarily consisted of gravels, cobbles, and boulders, which may pose
some problem during their compaction to achieve 95%of the soils'dry density value determined from the
laboratory testing method. Care should be taken during the laying of the native soils to avoid clustering
of excessive gravels, cobbles, and builders in any one location, which otherwise would pose problem
during the compaction. The top 12 inches of compacted structural fill layer should have a maximum 2 to
3-inch particle diameter and all underlying fill a maximum 4 to 6-inch diameter unless specifically
approved by the geotechnical engineer. An experienced geotechnical inspector should be monitoring the
fill placement and the compaction to avoid the above issues during the fill operations.

In the event that whether the structural fill materials are to be imported to the site, or if on-site
soils are to be reused as structural fill, we recommend that the potential structural fill materials be
verified and approved by the project geotechnical engineer prior to their use.
However, it should be noted that the native soils are primarily consisted of gravels, cobbles, and
boulders, which may pose problem during the compactions of this soils to 95% of the soils' dry density
value to be determined based on the laboratory testing method.
5.2.4 Construction Season
Due to the low fines content in the native soils, the proposed site development activities can
takes place in any weather period, dry or wet. However, construction in wet weather season may
contribute some minor erosion related problems in this site. This may particularly happen, when
uncontrolled surface runoff is allowed to flow over unprotected excavation areas during the wet winter
months.
5.2.5 Structural Fills
Structural fill is defined as non-organic soil, free of deleterious materials, and well-graded and
free-draining granular material, with a maximum of 5 percent passing the No. 200 sieve by weight, and
not exceeding 6 inches for any individual particle. A typical gradation for structural fill is presented in
the following table.
Structural Fill
U.S. Standard Sieve Size Percent Passing by Dry Weight
3 inch 100
3/ inch 50—100
No. 4 25—65
No. 10 10—50
No. 40 0—20
No. 200 5 Maximum*
*Based on the 3/ inch fraction.
Other materials may be suitable for use as structural fill provided they are approved by the
project geotechnical engineer. Such materials typically used include clean, well-graded sand and gravel
(pit-run); clean sand; various mixtures of gravel; crushed rock; controlled-density-fill (CDF); and lean-
mix concrete (LMC). Recycled asphalt, concrete, and glass, which are derived from pulverizing the

parent materials are also potentially useful as structural fill in certain applications. These materials must
be thoroughly crushed to a size deemed appropriate by the geotechnical engineer (usually less than 2
inches). The top 12 inches of compacted structural fill should have a maximum 2 to 3-inch particle
diameter and all underlying fill a maximum 4 to 6-inch diameter unless specifically approved by the
geotechnical engineer.
5.2.6 Fill Placement and Compaction Requirements
Generally, quarry spalls, controlled density fills (CDF), lean mix concrete (LMC) do not require
special placement and compaction procedures. In contrast, clean sand, crushed rock, soil mixtures and
recycled materials should be placed under special placement and compaction procedures and
specifications described here. Such structural fills under structural elements should be placed in uniform
loose lifts not exceeding 12 inches in thickness for heavy compactors and 4 inches for hand held
compaction equipment. Each lift should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the soil's
laboratory maximum dry density as determined by ASTM Test Designation D-1557 (Modified Proctor)
method, or to the applicable minimum City or County standard, whichever is the more conservative. The
fill should be moisture conditioned such that its final moisture content at the time of compaction should
be at or near (typically within about 2 percent) of its optimum moisture content, as determined by the
ASTM method. If the fill materials are on the wet side of optimum, they can be dried by periodic
windrowing and aeration or by intermixing lime or cement powder to absorb excess moisture.
In-place density tests should be performed to verify compaction and moisture content of the fills
and base materials. Each lift of fill or base material should be tested and approved by the soils engineer
prior to placement of subsequent lifts. As a guideline, it is recommended that field density tests be
performed at a frequency of not less than 1 test per 2,000 square feet of surface area per lift in the
building and pavement areas.
If field density tests indicate that the last lift of compacted fills has not been achieved the
required percent of compaction or the surface is pumping and weaving under loading, then the fill should
be scarified, moisture-conditioned to near optimum moisture content,re-compacted, and re-tested prior to
placing additional lifts.
5.2.7 Temporary Excavation Slopes
The owner and the contractor should be aware that in no case should the excavation slopes be
greater than the limits specified in local, state, and federal safety regulations, particularly, the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations in the "Construction Standards for
Excavations, 29 CFR,part 1926, Subpart P, dated October 31, 1989"of the Federal Register,Volume 54,

the United States Department of Labor. As mentioned above, we also recommend that the owner and the
contractor should follow the local and state regulations such as WSDOT section 2-09.3(3)B,Washington
Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA), Chapter 49.17RCW, and Washington Administrative Code
(WAC) Chapter 296-115, Part N. These documents are to better insure the safety of construction worker
entering trenches or excavation. It is mandated by these regulations that excavations, whether they are
for utility trenches or footings, be constructed in accordance with the guidelines provided in the above
documents. We understand that these regulations are being strictly enforced and, if they are not closely
followed,both the owner and the contractor could be liable for substantial penalties.
Stability of temporary excavations is a function of many factors including the presence of and
abundance of groundwater and seepage, the type and density of the various soil strata, the depth of
excavation, surcharge loadings adjacent to the excavation, and the length of time and weather conditions
while the excavation remains open. It is exceedingly difficult under these unknown and variable
circumstances to pre-establish a safe and maintenance-free temporary excavation slope angle at this time
of the study. We therefore, strongly recommend that all temporary, as well as permanent, cuts and
excavations in excess of 4 feet be examined by a geotechnical engineer during the actual construction to
verify that the recommended slope inclinations in this section are appropriate for the actual soil and
groundwater seepage conditions exposed in the cuts. If the conditions observed during the actual
construction are different than anticipated during this study then,the proper inclination of the excavation
and cut slopes or requirements of temporary shoring should be determined depending on the condition of
the excavations and the slopes.
As a general rule, all temporary soil cuts greater than 4 feet in height associated with site
regarding or excavations should be adequately sloped back or properly shored to prevent sloughing and
collapse. As for the estimation purposes, in our opinion, for temporary excavations equal to the
exploration depths, the side slopes should be laid back at a minimum slope inclination of 3:1
(Horizontal:Vertical) for the native loose to medium dense soil deposits.
The recommended inclinations assumes that the ground surface behind the cut slopes is level,
that surface loads from equipment and materials are kept a sufficient distance away from the top of the
slope. If these assumptions are not valid, we should be contacted for additional recommendations.
Flatter slopes may be required if soils are loose or caving and/or water, are encountered along the slope
faces. If such conditions occur and the excavation cannot stand by itself, or the excavation slope cannot
be flattened because of the space limitations between the excavation line and the boundary of the
property, temporary shoring may be considered. The shoring will assist in preventing slopes from failure
and provide protection to field personnel during excavation. Because of the diversity available of
shoring stems and construction techniques, the design of temporary shoring is most appropriately left up

to the contractor engaged to complete the installation. We can assist in designing the shoring system by
providing with detailed shoring design parameters including earth-retaining parameters, if required.
Where sloped embankments are used, the top of the slopes should be barricaded to prevent
vehicles and storage loads within 10 feet of the top of the slopes. Greater setbacks may be necessary
when considering heavy vehicles, such as concrete trucks and cranes. If the temporary construction
embankments are to be maintained during the rainy season, berms are suggested along the top of the
slopes to prevent runoff water from entering the excavation and eroding the slope faces. All temporary
slopes should be protected from surface water runoff.
The above information is provided solely for the benefit of the owner and other design
consultants, and under no circumstances should not be construed to imply that PGE assumes
responsibility for construction site safety or the contractor's activities; such responsibility is not being
implied and should not be inferred. Therefore, the contractor is solely responsible for designing and
constructing stable, temporary excavations and should shore, slope, or bench the sides of the excavations
as required to maintain stability of both the excavation sides and bottom. The contractor's "responsible
person", as defined in 29 CFR Part 1926, should evaluate the soil exposed in the excavations as part of
the contractor's safety procedures.
We expect that the excavation can be completed using conventional equipments such as
bulldozers or backhoes.
5.2.8 Permanent Cut and Fill Slopes
For permanent cut slopes the side slopes should be laid back at a minimum slope inclination of
3:1. Where the above slopes are not feasible, protective facings and/or retaining structures should be
considered. Temporary erosion protection described later on in Section 5.8.1 of this report should be
used until permanent protection is established. Cut slopes should be re-vegetated as soon as practical to
reduce the surface erosion and sloughing.
We recommend that any permanent fill slope be constructed no steeper than 2H:1V. To achieve
uniform compaction, we recommend that fill slopes be overbuilt slightly and subsequently cut back to
expose well compacted fill. We recommend that a permanent berm, swale, or curb be constructed along
the top edge of all permanent slopes to intercept surface flow. Also, a hardy vegetative groundcover
should be established as soon as feasible, to further protect the slopes from runoff water erosion.
Alternatively,permanent slopes could be armored with quarry spalls or a geosynthetic mat.

5.2.9 Construction Dewatering
If the regional groundwater levels rise above the planned excavation base during the winter and
spring months, the contractor should be prepared to dewater the excavations especially the underground
utility trenches.
If localized (perched) groundwater or minor seepage is encountered, we anticipate that internal
collection ditches directing water inflow to sumpholes and then removal of water by conventional filtered
sump pumps will be adequate to temporarily dewater the excavations and to maintain a relatively dry
working area for construction purposes.
The dewatering must remain in operation to maintain a dry working condition throughout the
construction period in the trenches. If severe water conditions encountered, more specialized dewatering
techniques, such as vacuum wells, well points, etc., may be needed. However, these more extensive
dewatering techniques can lead to settlement of the ground surface in the surrounding vicinity when the
groundwater is drawn down. If such dewatering techniques are contemplated a geotechnical engineer
should be consulted for specific design and construction recommendations for the excavation areas.
5.2.10 Construction Monitoring
Problems associated with earthwork and construction can be avoided or corrected during the
progress of the construction if proper inspection and testing services are provided. It is recommended
that site preparation activities including but not limited to stripping, clearing, cut and filling, final
subgrade preparation for foundation, floor slab, and pavement be monitored by a special geotechnical
inspector.
PGE can assist the owner before construction begins to develop an appropriate monitoring and
testing plan to aid in accomplishing a fast and cost-effective construction process. A list of items to be
inspected as a geotechnical special inspection services are recommend later on in Section 8.0 of this
report.
5.3 Foundations Recommendations
Spread Footin�
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in our test pits, it is our opinion that the
proposed buildings can be supported on conventional shallow strip and spread footings. The footings

should be supported on the firm native soils or on new structural fills placed above the properly
proofrolled native subgrades as described earlier in Section 5.1 and 5.2 of this report.
The new structural fills may be consisted of well-graded sands and gravels, such as `Ballast' per
WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-039(1), or uniformly graded crushed rock, such as `Crushed
Surfacing Base Course' per WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-03.9(3), structural fills described earlier
in Structural Fill Table of Section 5.2.5. If the construction takes place during dry summer period and if
the optimum moisture content of these soils is maintained during the compaction the on-site silty soil
could also be used as building pad materials. All bearing pad soils should be compacted to at least 95
percent of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density value (ASTM:D-1557). Controlled density fills
(CDF) and lean mix concrete (LMC) should be used for higher bearing pressure (more than 2500 ps fl
footing in order to maintain adequate bearing capacities.
The footing bearing pads if constructed with new structural fills need to be extended beyond the
actual outer edges of the footings. This is because footing stresses are transferred outward as well as
downward into the bearing pad soils. All footing bearing pads should extend horizontally outward from
the edge of the footing a distance equal to the bearing pad thickness (1H:1V). For bearing pads
composed of controlled density fills (CDF)or lean mix concrete(LMC)the horizontal distance should be
at least half of the fill depth.
For the design of shallow footing foundation supported on the above-described native soils or
properly compacted structural fill we recommend using a maximum net allowable bearing capacity of
1500 pounds per square foot (ps�. For short-term loads, such as wind and seismic, a 1/3 increase in this
allowable capacity can be used. We recommend that continuous footings have a minimum width of 12,
15, and 18 inches for 1-, 2-, and 3-strory residential structures as presented in the Table 1805.4.2 of 2003
International Building Code (IBC). We recommend a minimum width of 24 inches for the individual
column footings.
Based on our settlement potential evaluation in this site, we anticipate that properly designed and
constructed foundations supported on the recommended materials should experience total and differential
settlements of less than 1 inch and 1/2 inch, respectively. Most of these settlements are expected to occur
immediately following the building loads are applied. The predicted settlement values may be expected
larger if soft, loose, organic soil is encountered, or if the foundation subgrade is disturbed and becomes soft
during construction. The settlement evaluation was done without the aid of any laboratory consolidation test
data,and on the basis of our experience with similar types of structures and subsoil conditions.
Lateral foundation loads can be resisted by friction between the foundation base and the
supporting soil, and by passive earth pressure acting on the face of the embedded portion of the

foundation. We recommend using a coefficient of friction of 0.4 to calculate friction between the
concrete, and the native soils or the structural fills. For passive earth pressure, the available resistance
may be determined using an equivalent fluid pressure of 300 pcf, which includes a factor of safety of 1.5.
This value assumes the foundations are cast "neat" against the undisturbed native soils or structural fills
placed and compacted as recommended in Section 5.2 of this report. We recommend to disregard the
upper 12 inches of soil while computing the passive resistance value because this depth can be affected
by weather or disturbed by future grading activity. To achieve the adequate passive resistance from the
embedded soils as well as for frost and erosion protection, we recommend that all exterior footings must
be embedded at least 18 inches below the final adjacent outside grades consisted of either the
undisturbed native soils or structural fills placed and compacted as recommended in Section 5.1 and 5.2
of this report. The interior footings may be embedded only 12 inches below the surrounding slab surface
level.
Variations in the quality and strength of these potential bearing soils can occur with depth and
distance between the test pits. Therefore, careful evaluation of the appropriate bearing materials is
recommended at the time of construction to verify their suitability to support the above recommended
bearing pressure. We recommend that a PGE representative examine the bearing materials prior to
placing forms or rebar.
5.4 Floor Slabs
If slab-on-grade option is chosen for the buildings then the slab-on-grade floors should bear on
the properly prepared subgrades as discussed earlier in Section 5.1 and 5.2. All soil-supported slab-on-
grade floors should bear on firm,unyielding native soils or on suitable properly compacted structural fill.
After subgrade preparation is completed, the slab should be provided with a capillary break to retard the
upward wicking of ground moisture beneath the floor slab. The capillary break would consist of a
minimum of 6-inch thick clean, free-draining sand or pea gravel. The structural fill requirements
specified in Structural Fill Table of Section 5.2.5 could be used as capillary break materials except that
there should be no more than 2 percent of fines passing the no. 200 sieve. Alternatively, `Gravel Backfill
for Drains' per WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-03.12(4) can be used as capillary break materials.
Where moisture by vapor transmission is undesirable, we recommend the use of a vapor barrier such as a
layer of durable plastic sheeting (such as Crossstuff, Moistop, or Visqueen) between the capillary break
and the floor slab to prevent the upward migration of ground moisture vapors through the slab. During
the casting of the slab, care should be taken to avoid puncturing the vapor barrier. At owner's or
architecture's discretion, the membrane may be covered with 2 inches of clean, moist sand as a `curing
course' to guard against damage during construction and to facilitate uniform curing of the overlying
concrete slab. The addition of 2 inches of sand over the vapor barrier is a non-structural recommendation.
Based on the subgrade preparation as described in Section 5.1 and 5.2 of this report, a modulus of

subgrade reaction value of about 150 pounds per cubic inch(pci)can be used to estimate slab deflections,
which could arise due to elastic compression of the subgrades.
5.5 Site Drainage
Surface Draina�e
The final site grades must be such that surface runoff will flow by gravity away from the
structures, and should be directed to suitable collection points. We recommend providing a minimum
drainage gradient of about 3% for a minimum distance of about 10 feet from the building perimeter. A
combination of using positive site surface drainage and capping of the building surroundings by concrete,
asphalt, or low permeability silty soils will help minimize or preclude surface water infiltration around
the perimeter of the buildings and beneath the floor slabs. Driveways should be graded to direct runoff to
catch basins and or other collection facilities. Collected water should be directed to the on-site drainage
facilities by means of properly sized smooth walled PVC pipe. Interceptor ditches or trenches or low
earthen berms should be installed along the upgrade perimeters of the site to prevent surface water runoff
from precipitation or other sources entering the site. Surface water collection facilities should be
designed by a professional civil engineer.
Footin�Excavation Drain
Water must not be allowed to pond in the foundation excavations or on prepared subgrades either
during or after construction. If due to the seasonal fluctuations, groundwater seepage is encountered
within footing depths, we recommend that the bottom of excavation should be sloped toward one corner
to facilitate removal of any collected rainwater, groundwater, or surface runoff, and then direct the water
to ditches, and to collect it in prepared sump pits from which the water can be pumped and discharged
into an approved storm drainage system.
Footin�D�
Footing drains should be used where (1) crawl spaces or basements will be below a structure, (2)
a slab below the outside grade, and (3) the outside grade does not slope downward from a building. The
drains must be laid with a gradient sufficient to promote positive flow to a controlled point of approved
discharge. The foundation drains should be tightlined separately from the roof drains to this discharge
point. Footing drains should consist of at least 4-inch diameter perforated PVC pipe. The pipe should be
placed in a free-draining sand and gravel backfill. Either the pipe or the pipe and free-draining backfill
should be wrapped in a non-woven geotextile filter fabric to limit the ingress of fines. Cleanouts should
be provided. In the flatter areas of the site the drains should be located on the outside of the spread

footings. In sloped areas of the site, the footing drains should be installed at the inner base of the lower
perimeter footings and at the outer base of the upper and the side perimeter footings.
Downspout or Roof Drain
These should be installed once the building roof is in place. They should discharge in tightlines
to a positive, permanent drain system. Under no circumstances connect these tightlines to the perimeter
footing drains.
5.6 Utility Support and Backfill
Based on the soils encountered at the site within the exploration depths, the majority of the soils
appear to be adequate for supporting utility lines; however, softer soils may be encountered at isolated
locations, where, it should be removed to a depth that will provide adequate support for the utility. A
major concern with utility lines is generally related to the settlement of trench backfill along utility
alignments and pavements. Therefore, it is important that each section of utility be adequately supported
on proper bedding material and properly backfilled.
It is recommend that utility trenching, installation, and backfilling conform to all applicable
Federal, State, and local regulations such as WISHA and OSHA for open excavations. Utility bedding
should be placed in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and local ordinances. Bedding
material for rigid and flexible pipe should conform to Sections 9-03.15 and 9-03.16, respectively, of the
1994 WSDOT/APWA (American Public Works Association) Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge,
and Municipal Construction. For site utilities located within the Pierce County right-of-ways, bedding
and backfill should be completed in accordance with the Pierce County specifications. As a minimum,
5/8 inch pea gravel or clean sand may be used for bedding and backfill materials. The bedding materials
should be hand tamped to ensure support is provided around the pipe haunches. Trench backfill should
be carefully placed and hand tamped to about 12 inches above the crown of the pipe before any heavy
compaction equipment is brought into use. The remainder of the trench backfill should be placed in lifts
having a loose thickness of less than 12 inches and compacted to 90 percent of the maximum dry density
per ASTM Test Designation D-1557 (Modified Proctor) except for the uppermost foot of backfill which
should be compacted to 95 percent of the maximum dry density per ASTM Test Designation D-1557
(Modified Proctor).
The utility trenches should not be left open for extended periods to prevent water entry and
softening of the subgrade. Should soft soils be encountered at the bottom of the trench, it should be
overexcavated and replaced with select fills. As an alternative to undercutting, a Geotextile fabric or
crushed rock may be used to stabilize the trench subgrade. Where water is encountered in the trench

excavations, it should be removed prior to fill placement. Alternatively, quarry spalls or pea gravel could
be used below the water level if allowed in the project specifications.
5.7 Pavement Thickness
A properly prepared subgrade is very important for the life and performance of the driveway
pavements. Therefore, we recommend that all driveway and pavement areas be prepared as described in
Section 5.1 and 5.2 of this report. Subgrades should either be comprised of adequately proofrolled
competent undisturbed native soils, or be comprised of a minimum of one foot of granular structural fill
that is compacted adequately. The structural fill should be compacted to 95 percent of the maximum dry
density as determined by Modified Proctor (ASTM Test Designation D-1557). It is possible that some
localized areas of yielding and weak subgrade may still exist after this process. If such conditions occur,
crushed rock or other qualified materials as addressed in Section 5.2.5 may be used to stabilize these
localized areas.
We assumed that the traffic would mostly consist of passenger cars and occasional waste
management trucks, which is typical for a residential community. Two types of pavement sections may
be considered for such traffic,the minimum thicknesses of which are as follows:
• 2 inches of Asphalt Concrete (AC) over 2 inches of Crushed Surface Top Course (CSTC) over a
6 inches of Granular Subbase, or
• 2 inches of Asphalt Concrete(AC)over 3 inches of Asphalt Treated Base(ATB)material.
The 1998 Standard Specifications for Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT)
and American Public Works Association (APWA) should be applicable to our recommendations that
aggregate for AC should meet the Class-B grading requirements as specified in 9-03.8(6). For the
Crushed Surfacing Top Course(CSTC), we recommend using imported, clean, crushed rock per WSDOT
Standard Specifications 9-03.9(3). For the sub base course, we recommend using imported, clean, well-
graded sand and gravel, such as Ballast or Gravel Borrow per WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-03.9(1)
and 9-03.14, respectively. For the asphalt treated base course (ATB) the aggregate should be consistent
with WSDOT Standard Specifications 9-03.6(2).
Long-term performance of the pavement will depend on its surface drainage. A poorly-drained
pavement section will deteriorate faster due to the infiltration of surface water into the subgrade soils,
thereby reducing their supporting capability. Therefore, we recommend using a minimum surfacing
drainage gradient of about 1% to minimize this problem and to enhance the pavement performance.
Also, regular maintenance of the pavement must be considered.

5.8 Geologic Hazards
5.8.1 Erosion Hazard
Uncontrolled surface water with runoff over unprotected site surfaces during construction
activities is considered the single most important factor that impacts the erosion potential of a site. The
erosion process may be accelerated significantly when factors such as soils with high fines, sloped
surface, and wet weather combines together. Taking into consideration of the fines content(0.7 to 1.3%)in
the near surface sands, the project site may have some minor or no impact due to erosion during the wet
winter months.
The erosion hazard can be mitigated if the mass grading activities and the earthwork can be
completed within the dry summer period. Also, measurements such as the control of surface water must
be maintained during construction, and a temporary erosion and sedimentary control (TESC) plan, as a
part of the Best Management Practices (BMP) must be developed and implemented as well. The TESC
plan should include the use of geotextile barriers (silt fences) along any down-slope, straw bales to de-
energize downward flow, controlled surface grading, limited work areas, equipment washing, storm drain
inlet protection, and sediment traps. Also, vegetation clearing must be kept very limited in this site to
reduce the exposed surface areas. A permanent erosion control plan is to be implemented following the
completion of the construction. Permanent erosion control measurements such as establishment of
landscaping, control of downspouts and surface drains, control of sheet flow over the final slope grades,
prevention of discharging water over the final slopes and at the toe of the slope are to be implemented
following the completion of the construction.
5.8.2 Seismic Hazard
Structural design of the buildings at the project site should follow 2003 International Building
Code (IBC) standards. Based on our evaluations of the subsurface conditions and review of Table
1615.1.1 of IBC,we interpret the underlying bearing soils to correspond to `C',which refers to very dense
soils. According to the IBC standards, the mapped spectral response accelerations SS= 1.5 and S1 = 0.5,
and corresponding site co-efficient values Fa = 1.0 and F„ = 13, respectively, should be used for the
design of the buildings.
As part of the seismic evaluation of the site, the liquefaction potential of the site was also
evaluated. Liquefaction is a phenomenon, which takes place due to the reduction or complete loss of soil
strength due to increased pore water pressure during a major earthquake event. Liquefaction primarily
affects geologically recent deposits of fine-grained sands that are below the groundwater table. Based on
the soil and groundwater conditions, it is our opinion that the on-site soils are not prone to liquefaction,

therefore, potential for widespread liquefaction and its associated hazards over the site during a seismic
event is none. Therefore, subsurface conditions do not warrant additional mitigation techniques relating
to seismic hazards.
5.8.3 Landslide Hazard Evaluation
The subject site is a relatively level ground with some minor undulations, therefore, landslide
hazard is not expected in this site.
5.9 Infiltration PotenHal Evaluation
The native soils encountered in the subject site are considered good permeable soils, therefore
should be considered conducive for installing the proposed infiltration storm tract.
The infiltration potential of the native sands in the proposed storm tract area was evaluated by
performing several field percolation tests in test pit TP-1, TP-2, and TP-7 at 4 feet depths below the
existing grades following the EPA Falling Head Permeability Test method described in Pierce County
Stormwater Design Manual. The average permeability value found from these tests is 12 inches/hr. A
factor of safety value of 2 must be used to determine the design infiltration rate.
It should be noted that the operational verification testing of the permeability of the native soils
must be done in the proposed storm tract area during the construction of the pond.
