At the time our study was performed, the site, and our exploratory locations were approximately as shown on Figure 2, Test Pit Location Plan The purpose of this study was to explore subsurface conditions at the site and based on the conditions encountered, provide geotechnical recommendations for the proposed construction. Project Deseription Based on preliminary information, its our understanding that Mason Construction plans to develop the subject site with three industrial type buildings. The buildings will most likely be constructed with steel frames and slab-on-grade floors. Due to the sloping site topography the structures will be built into the hillside and utilize daylight basements. Site improvements will include asphalt-paved parking areas and associated landscaping. Preliminary plans and our discussions with the project civil engineer (SGA), indicate that earthwork cuts ranging from ten to fifteen feet in height will be required to construct the basement retaining walls along the east sides of the proposed buildings. At the time this report was written specific structural design loads were not available. However, based on our experience with similar projects, we anticipate that wall loads will be approximately seven hundred (700) to one thousand five hundred (1500) pounds per lineal foot. Slab-on-grade garage floor loads will most likely range from one hundred (100) to one hundred and fifty (150) pounds per square foot (psf). recommendations contained in this report. In any case, it is recommended that GE Services perform a general review of the final design, SITE CONDITIONS jurface ‘The subject property is bordered to the north and south by vacant properties. The intersection of NW Cherry Street and West 39" Street is located about two hundred feet south of the site. NW Cherry Street borders the west side of the site, with industrial properties located west of Cherry Street. GE Senvices IneMason Business Park G10-0104 Vancouver, WA Page 2 NW Olive Street borders the east side of the site, with residential properties located east of Olive Street. The rectangular shaped property encompasses approximately two acres, In general, the property slopes moderately downward from the northeast to the southwest, with a gradient of 6H:1'V (horizontal:vertical). The southeast quarter section of the property is moderately to steeply sloped from the east to the west, with an approximate gradient of 2.7H:1V. During the time of our study the site was vegeteted with some evergreen and deciduous trees and a variety bushes and groundcover. Some blackberry bushes were cleared during our site study to provide access for our exploratory excavations. Subsurface For this study, the site was explored by excavating six test pits, at the approximate locations shown on the Test Pit Location Plan, Figure 2. In our excavations, we encountered a variety of soils consisting of clayey Silt (MH), silty Sand (SM) and clean Sand (SP). The clayey silt was encountered at the southwest and central west sides of the site in the vicinity of test pits TP1 and TP3. A silt layer was also encountered in the upper seven feet at test pit I-TPS. At test pits TP2, TP4, I-TPS and TP6, we encountered silty sand and clean sand to the maximum exploration depth of fifteen (15) fect below the existing ground surface, Please refer to the test pit logs, Plates A2 through A7, for a detailed description of the conditions ‘encountered at each location explored. All soil was classified following the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). A USCS Legend is included as Plate A1. A description of the field exploration methods is included in Appendix A. Groundwater During the time of our field exploration no groundwater was encountered in any of out test pit excavations. Although no groundwater was encountered in any of the test pits, iron staining was observed in some subsurface soils. This type of staining indicates that water periodically migrates ‘thru subsurface soils. It is important to note that groundwater conditions are not static; fluctuations may be expected in the level and seepage flow depending on the season, amount of rainfall, surface water runoff, and other factors. Generally, the groundwater level is higher and seepage rate is greater in the wetter winter months (typically October through May). GE Services Inc.Mason Business Park 10-0104 Vancouver, WA Page 3 General Regional Geology General information about geologic conditions and soil in the vicinity of the site was obtained by reviewing the Geologic Map of Washington-Southwest Quadrant, WA. State Department of Natural Resources, (Geologic Map GM-34, 1987) and the Geologic Map of the Vancouver Quadrangle, Washington & Oregon, (DLNR), Open File Rerort 87-10. These maps provide general information about geologic units in the Vancouver, Washington area, Our review of existing geological information indicates that soils in the vicinity of the subject site were formed from sedimentary deposits during the Quatemary Period. The material encountered in our test pits consists predominantly of non-glacial silt and sand, LABORATORY TESTING Laboratory tests were conducted on representative soil samples to verify or modify the field soil classification of the units encountered and to evaluate the general physical properties and engineering characteristics of the soils encountered. > Moisture-Content tests (ASTM-D2216-92) were performed on representative samples. The soil moisture content of the native clayey Silt ranges from 24% to 32%. The soil moisture content of the native silty Sand ranges fm 12% to 23%. The soil moisture content of the clean Sand ranges from 16% to 19%. Typically, soil with more fines (silt and clay), as well as organic content, exhibit greater moisture content. > Density determinations (ASTM- D4564-93) were performed on representative samples to determine the wet and dry density of rative soil. The in-situ density provides a relative indication of soil support characteristics. > Sieve-Analyses (ASTM- D1140-97) to determine the percentage of soil finer than #200 sieve were performed on representative samples. Testing indicates that the native silty sand and clean sand contain a fines content that ranges from 4 % to 18 %, Laboratory testing and field observations indicate that some of the onsite soils contain a high percentage of fines (clay and clay). Therefore, these soils are sensitive to changes in moisture content. Moisture sensitive soils are discussed ia more detail in the Site Preparation and Grading section of this report. The results of laboratory tests performed on specific samples are provided at the appropriate sample depth on the individual test pit logs. However, it is important to note that some variation of subsurface conditions may exist. Our geotechnical recommendations are based on our interpretation of these test results. GE Services IneMason Business Park 10-0108 Vancouver, WA Page 4 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS General Based on the results of our study, it is our opinion that the site can be developed as planned provided the geotechnical recommendations contained in this report are incorporated into the final design. The proposed buildings can be supported on conventional shallow spread footings bearing on either competent homogeneous native soil or compacted structural fill. Our recommendations for compaction of structural fill are described in the Site Preparation and Grading section of this report. Due to the variable soil conditions encountered, we recommend that all building areas be over excavated and replaced with a minimum of six inches of compacted clean crushed rock. This procedure will provide a uniform bearing surface for the proposed building foundation and slab areas. It should be noted, if competent uniform soil bearing conditions are encountered at the proposed footing and slab areas, the project engineer may determine that crushed rock is not required. It is important to note that some soil encountered at the site consists of moisture sensitive clayey silt and silty sand, Therefore, earthwork grading and foundation construction may be difficult during the wet winter and spring seasons. Based on this condition we suggest that grading and foundation construction be completed during the drier summer and fall seasons. Infiltration testing and soil encountered in our test pits indicate that the central and eastern half of the site, are suitable for the disposal of storm water from the proposed development. The details of infiltration testing are discussed in the Infiltration Testing section of this report, This report has been prepared for specific application to this project only and in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area for the exclusive use of Mason Construction and their representatives. This report, in its entirety, should be included in the project documents for information to the contractor. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. Slope Conditions Based on the gentle to moderate slope configuration in the vicinity of proposed construction and our observations of existing conditions, it is our opinion that the potential for near surface instability within the proposed building area is relatively low During the time of our site reconnaissance no erosion, surface slumping or tension cracks were observed along the top of the slope. No water seepage or springs were observed along the sloping sections of the siteMason Business Park G10-0104 Vancouver, WA Page 5 Primary factors that will adversely affect slope integrity include: the placement of un-retained fill on or at the top of slopes, excavation of steep un-retained cuts at the toe of slopes, and uncontrolled top of slope surface water runoff. At this time and to the best of our knowledge, none of these are planned for this development. ite Preparation and Grading The site shall be stripped and cleared of all vegetation, organic matter and any other deleterious material. Stripped material should not be mixed with any soils to be used as structural fill. Stripped soil could potentially be used for topsoil at landscape areas after removing vegetation and screening out organie matter. Building & Pavement Areas: After clearing and grading the subject site, all building and pavement areas should be compacted to a dense non-yielding condition with suitable compaction equipment. This phase of earthwork compaction shall be performed prior to placement of structural fill, at the bottom of foundation excavations and at the sub-grade for the parking/driveway areas, before the placement of base rock. Structural Fi Structural fill is defined as any soil placed under buildings or any other load beating-areas, Structural fill placed under footings and floor slabs should be placed in thin horizontal lifts not exceeding six inches, and compacted to a minimum 95 percent of its maximum dry density (Modified Proctor-ASTM-D1357). The fill material should be placed within 3 percent of the optimum moisture content. Fill under pavements should also be placed in lifts approximately six inches in thickness, and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of its maximum dry density (modified proctor), except for the top twelve (12) inches which should be compacted to 95 percent of the maximum dry density. Recommendations for pavement sections are described in the “Pavement Areas” section of this report. We recommend that structural fill consist of a well graded granular material having a maximum size of two and one-half inches and no more than five percent (5 %) fines passing the #200 sieve, based on the % inch fraction, It should be noted that any non-expansive soil could potentially be used as structural fill, provided the material is free of organics and is compacted at or near the optimum moisture content. We recommend that any structural fill planned for oa site use, be submitted for approval prior to usage and/or import. GE Services IneMason Business Park G10-0104 Vancouver, WA, Page 6 The placement and compaction of structural fill should be observed by a representative from our office to verify that fill has been placed and compacted in accordance with the approved project plans and specifications. Moisture Sensitive Soils: Field observations and laboratory testing indicates that on site native soil is moisture sensitive due to the percentage of fine-grained material (silt and clay). As such in an exposed condition moisture sensitive soil can become disturbed during normal construction activity, especially when in a wet or saturated condition. Once disturbed, in a wet condition, these soils will be unsuitable for support of foundations, floor slabs and pavements. Therefore, where soil is exposed and will support new construction, care must be taken not to disturb their condition. If disturbed soil conditions develop, the affected soil must be removed and replaced with structural fill. The depth of removal will be dependent on the depth of disturbance developed during construction. Foundations Based on the encountered subsurface soil conditions, preliminary building design criteria, and assuming compliance with the preceding Site Preparation and Grading section, the proposed buildings, may be supported on conventional shallow spread footings bearing on compacted structural fill or competent native soil. Individual spread footings or continuous wall footings providing support for the proposed buildings may be designed for a maximum allowable bearing value of two thousand (2000) pounds per square foot (psf). Footings for one-level structures should be at least twelve (12) inches in width. Footings for two-level structures should be a minimum of fifteen (15) inches in width, In either case, all footings should extend to a depth of at least eighteen (18) inches below the lowest adjacent finished sub grade, ‘These basic allowable bearing values are for dead plus live loads and may be increased one-third for combined dead, live, wind, and seismic forces. It is estimated that total and differential static settlement for the proposed buildings will de approximately one inch and one-half inch, respectively. We recommend that all footing excavations be observed by a representative of GE Services prior 10 placing forms or rebar, to verify that sub grade support conditions are as anticipated in his report, and/or provide modifications in the design as required. GE Services ine.Mason Business Park G10-0104 Vancouver, WA Page 7 Retaining and Foundation Walls Retaining walls and foundations acting as retaining walls should be designed to resist lateral earth pressures imposed by the retained soils. Walls that are designed to yield can be designed to resist the lateral earth pressures imposed by an equivalent fluid with a unit weight of forty (40) pef. If walls are to be restrained at the top from free movement, the equivalent fluid weight should be increased to sixty (60) pef. These values are based on horizontal back fill and that surcharges due to hydrostatic pressures, structural loads or other surcharge loads will not act on the wall. If such surcharges are to apply, they should be added to the above lateral design pressure. Lateral loads can be resisted by friction between the foundation and the supporting sub grade or by passive earth pressure acting on the buried portions of the foundation. For the latter, the foundations must be poured “neat” against the existing soil or back filled with a compacted fill meeting the requirements of structural fill. © Passive Pressure = 300 pef equivalent fluid weight © Coefficient of Friction = 0.40 The above values include a safety factor of 1.5. In order to mobilize full passive resistance, the ground surface adjacent to the foundation elements must be level for a minimum distance of eight feet. Retaining walls should be back filled with a free draining granular material with less than 5% fines passing the #200 sieve. Some of the clean native sand encountered at te east side of the site could potentially be used as wall backfill. However, we recommend that material to be used as backfill be submitted t0 our laboratory for testing to verify that the percentage of fines meets the requirements of free draining granular soil. A free draining gravel material should extend laterally at least twelve inches behind the wall. A perforated drainage pipe with sufficient gradient to drain should be placed just below the invert of the foundation footing. Drainage pipes should be surrounded by a granular soil that functions as a filter in order to reduce the potential for clogging. Details for the backfill and drain are shown on Figure 3, Typical Retaining Wall Back Fill and Footing Drainage. Slab on Grade Interior slabs subjected to heavy transient loads should be designed with a sub-grade modulus of ‘tvo hundred (200) pounds per cubic inch. The building floor slabs may be supported on structural fill as described in the Site Preparation and Grading section of this report. Any disturbed soils must be re-compacted prior to pouring conerete. The slab should be provided with a minimum of four inches of clean free-draining sand or gravel. In areas where slab moisture is undesirable, a vapor barrier such as a 10-mil plastic membrane should be placed beneath the slab.Mason Business Park 10-0104 Vancouver, WA, Page 8 ‘Temporary Excavations The following information is provided solely es a service to our client. Under no circumstances should this information be interpreted to mean that GE Services is assuming responsibility for construction site safety or the contractor's activities; such responsibility is not being implied and should not be inferred. In no case should excavation slopes be greater than the limits specified in local, state and federal safety regulations. Based on the information obtained from our field exploration and laboratory testing, the site soils expected to be encountered in excavations will consist of clayey silt, silty sand and clean sand would be classified as a Type "B" soil by OSHA guidelines, Therefore, temporary cuts greater than four feet in height, should be sloped at an inclination no steeper than 1H:1V (horizontal:vertical) for type "B" soils. However, if water seepage is encountered, temporary cuts should be sloped no steeper than 1-I/2H:1V. If slopes of this inclination, or flatter, cannot be constructed, or if excavations greater than ten feet in depth are required, temporary shoring may be necessary. This shoring would help protect against slope or excavation collapse, and would provide protection to workmen in the excavation. If temporary shoring is required, we will be available to provide shoring design criteria, if requested. Infiltration Testing One infiltration test was performed at the approximate location shown on the Test Pit Location Plan, Figure 2. The test was performed at a depth of nine and one-half feet below the existing eround surface. Infiltration testing was performed in general accordance with the City of Vancouver storm water ordinance guidelines. In general, the test consists of driving a six-inch diameter pipe six inches into the exposed ground surface at the botiom of each test pit. ‘The pipe is filled with water and the soil around the bottom of the pipe is saturated for three to four hours. The pipe is filled again and the amount of time required for the water to fall, per inch, for six inches, is recorded, This step is performed a minimum of three times. The test results are averaged and recorded in inches per hour. Laboratory tests were conducted on representative soil samples to verify or modify the field soil classification of the units encountered and to evaluate the general physical properties and infiltration characteristies of the soils encountered Moisture-Content (ASTM-D2216-92) and Sieve-Analyses (ASTM-D1140-97) were performed on samples collected from the proposed infiltration zone. Soil moisture content and the percentage of ‘material finer than the #200 sieve provide information about the relative permeability of soil GE Services in.Mason Business Park 610-0104 Vancouver, WA Page 9 The following table provides the infiltration and laberatory test results: Location | *USCSSOIL | AASHTO Soil | DEPTH | % Passing #200 | _ Moisture | Infiltration TYPE Type @T) sieve content Rate Lips SM ALD 35 ~16 B Tiph * Unified Sol Classification System ph inches per hour It is important to note that the above infiltration test results provide a relative indication of the average rate of groundwater infiltration at a specific area of the site. The rate is dependent on the percentage of fines in the soil (ie., silt and clay), the degree of soil saturation and the relative density of in-situ soil. In general, soil with a low moisture content and lower percentage of fines will exhibit a greater permeability than soil with a high moisture content and high percentage of fines. re Drainage The site should be graded so that surface water is directed off the site. Water should not be allowed to stand in any area where buildings or slabs are to be constructed. Loose surfaces should be sealed at the end of each workday by compacting the surface to reduce the potential for moisture infiltration into the soils. Final site grades should allow for drainage away from the building foundations, The ground should be sloped at a gradient of three percent for a distance of at least ten feet away from the buildings. We recommend that footing drains be installed around the perimeter of the buildings just below the invert of the footing with a gradient sufficient to initiate flow. Under no circumstances should the roof down spouts be connected to the footing drain system. We suggest that clean outs be installed at several accessible locations to allow for the periodic maintenance of the footing drain system. Details for the footing drain have been included on Figure 4, Typical Footing Sub Drain Detail It should be noted that this drainage system could be modified by a field representative from our office depending on conditions encountered during construction Utility Support and Back Fill Based on the subsurface conditions encountered, soil to be exposed by utility trenches should provide adequate support for utilities. Groundwater was not encountered in any of our test pit excavations. It is not anticipated that groundwater will be encountered during the installation of utilities. However, if groundwater is encountered it may be necessary to employ dewatering and shoring methods during trench excavation procedures. GE Services ineMason Business Park G10-0104 Vancouver, WA, Page 10 Utility trench back fill is a concer in reducing the potential for settlement along utility alignments, particularly in pavement areas. It is also important that each section of utility line be adequately supported in bedding material. Granular bedding with a minimum sand equivalent of thirty (ASTM C-33 concrete sand) should be carefully placed and hand tamped to about eighteen inches above the crown of the pipe before any compaction equipment is used. The remainder of the trenc back fill should be placed in eight-inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the ASTM 1557 standard. A typical utility-trench backfill section and compaction requirements for load supporting and non- load supporting areas is presented on Figure 5, Utility Trench Back fill Detail. Laboratory testing indicates that some of the native clayey silt has a moderate to high moisture content and will be difficult to compact as trench backfill in its present condition. However, some of the sandy soil excavated from on site excavations and trenches could potentially be used as backfill. If the soil is reused it may require aeration and mixing to dry the soil to its optimum compactable condition, This method should only be employed during the dry summer and early fall seasons. If excavated soil is to be used as trench backfill, we recommend that a representative from our office be on site to monitor the procedures, This would include periodically checking soil moisture content and providing density testing during compaction, Pavement Areas The durability of site pavements is directly related to the condition of the underlying sub grade, To provide a properly prepared sub grade for pavements, we recommend the sub grade be treated and prepared as described in the “Site Preparation and Grading” section of this report. It is possible that some localized areas of soft, wet or unstable sub grade may still exist after this process. Before placement of any base rock, the sub grade should be compacted with suitable compaction equipment. Yielding areas that are identified should be excavated to firm material and replaced with compacted two inch-minus crushed rock. The following pavement sections are recommenéed for the proposed parking area and driveways: *© Four inches of Asphalt Concrete (AC) over ten inches of compacted Crushed Rock Base (CRB) material or, ‘+ Four inches of Asphalt Concrete (AC) over eight inches of compacted Crushed Rock Base (CRB) material, over a geo-grid consisting of Tensar BX1100 or equivalent. © Four inches of Asphalt Concrete (AC) over six inches of compacted Crushed Rock Base (CRB) material, over a geo-grid consisting of Tensar BX1200 or equivalent. GE Se-viees Ine‘Mason Business Park G 10-0104 Vancouver, WA. Page 11 The geogrid should be placed directly on the sub grade surface of the roadways prior to placement of base rock. Appropriate geo-textiles have been designed to increase the strength of the sub grade and extend pavement life. Asphaltic Cement (AC) and Crushed Rock Base (CRB) materials should conform to WSDOT specifications. All base rock should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the ASTM D-1557-91 laboratory test standard, We recommend that a minimum of six inches of compacted CRB be placed below all exterior slabs. Exterior concrete slabs that are subject to vehicle traffic loads should be at least six inches in thickness. It is also suggested that nominal reinforcement such as "6x6-10/10" welded wire mesh be employed, near midpoint, in new exterior concrete slabs and paving. Fiber mesh concrete may be used in lieu of welded wire mesh. GE Services Ine,Mason Business Park G10-0104 Vancouver, WA Pago 12, LIMITATIONS Our recommendations and conclusions are based on the site materials observed, selective laboratory testing, engineering analyses, the design information provided to GE Services and our experience as well as engineering judgment. The conclusions and recommendations are professional opinions derived in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area. No warranty is expressed or implied. The recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the test pits. Soil and groundwater conditions between test pits may vary from those encountered, The nature and extent of variations may not become evident until construction. If variations do appear, GE Services Inc. should be requested to reevaluate the recommendations contained in this report and to modify or verify them in writing prior to proceeding with the proposed construction. Additional Services GE Services will be available to provide consultation services related to review of the final design to verify that the recommendations within our purview have been properly interpreted and implemented in the approved construction plans and specifications. A representative from our office will also be available to altend a pre-construction meeting to discuss and/or clarify all geotechnical issues related to the proposed project. In addition, it is suggested that this office be retained to provide geotechnical services during construction to observe compliance with the design concepts and project specifications and to allow design changes in the event subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated.

Subsurface conditions were explored by excavating six test pits. The test pits were excavated with a rubber-tired backhoe to depths ranging from ten to fifteen and one-half feet below the existing ground surface. ‘The approximate test pit locations were detemined by taping from existing site features. The locations of the test pits should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. These approximate locations are shown on the Test Pit Location Plan, Figure 2 The field exploration was monitored by a GE Services representative, who classified the soil encountered and maintained a log of each test pit, obtained representative samples, and observed pertinent site features. Representative soil samples were placed in closed containers and retumed to the laboratory for further examination and testing. All samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), which is presented on Plate A1. Logs of the test pits are presented in Appendix A. The final logs represent our interpretations of the field logs and the results of the laboratory tests on field samples. The stratification lines on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types. In fact, the transitions may be more gradual.
