October 9, 2013 Kirkman Associates PO Box 816 Auburn, Washington 98071 Report Geotechnical Services Proposed Russian Ukrainian Parousia SDA Church 1860 — S 336th Street Federal Way, Washington Project No. 647-001-01 INTRODUCTION Insight Geologic is pleased to provide our report of geotechnical services for the proposed Russian Ukrainian Parousia SDA Church to be located at 1860 — S 336th Street in Federal Way, Washington. We understand that the proposed church will consist of an approximate 8,800 square foot building with appurtenant parking and walkway areas. The project site is located as approximately shown on the Vicinity Map in Figure 1. SCOPE OF SERVICES The objective of our services was to explore the subsurface site conditions as a basis for evaluating geotechnical parameters for the site soils. Our specific scope of services includes the following tasks: 1. Review published maps pertaining to site geology, topography and landslide hazards. 2. Excavate as many as 6 hang auger borings to a depth of approximately 6 feet to evaluate subsurface conditions. 3. Collect representative soil samples from the borings. 4. Log the geologic materials encountered in the borings in general accordance with ASTM D2487- 06. 5. Prepare a geologic assessment report that provides our opinion regarding site conditions and which includes our recommendations for bearing capacity, site grading and structural fill. 1015 EAST 4TH AVENUE, OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON 98506 PHONE:360.754.2128 FAX:360,754.9299 Proposed Russian Ukrainian Parousia SDA Church Geotechnical Services Report October 9, 2013 SITE CONDITIONS Surface Conditions The site is currently vacant and was the former location of a single family residence which has been demolished. The property is generally flat at an elevation of about 385 feet above mean sea level. The site surface is generally vegetated with grass, scotch broom and blackberry. Subsurface Explorations We explored the subsurface conditions at the site by advancing six hand-augered borings using a manually advanced soil auger. The borings were advanced to depths of between about 2 and 4 feet bgs. The approximate locations of the borings are shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2. A geologist from Insight Geologic monitored the explorations and maintained a log of the conditions encountered. The soils were visually classified in general accordance with the system described in ASTM D2487-06. The exploration logs are contained in Attachment A. Subsurface Conditions Our explorations generally encountered weathered glacial till consisting of loose to moderately dense silty sand with varying amounts of gravel (SP-SM) overlying dense glacial till (SP-SM). Surface materials consisted of 6 inches to about a foot of sod. The less compacted material at the surface is identified as weathered till while the densely compacted sediment is interpreted as glacial till. Groundwater was encountered at a depth of 3 feet in boring HA-3. Laboratory Testing We selected one soil sample for gradation analysis in general accordance with ASTM D-422. The results of our testing indicate the weathered till material has a fines content of about 23 percent with a moisture content of 12 percent. Our laboratory results are provided in Attachment B. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS General Based on the results of our subsurface explorations and analyses, it is our opinion that the proposed development on this site is feasible from a geotechnical perspective. The on -site materials proposed to be excavated and used for construction contain a rather large percentage of fines and will be moisture sensitive. Our explorations were performed in the fall with periods of rain during the previous week. The material may need to be dried back to obtain optimum moisture content if construction is started during this time of year. We are available upon request to discuss these issues with the design team.. FILE No. 647-001-01 2 ' ' Proposed Russian Ukrainian Parousia SDA Church Geotechnical Services Report October 9, 2013 Earthwork General We anticipate that site development earthwork will include removing existing surface vegetation, stripping sod and topsoil, excavating for the stormwater basins, and placing and compacting structural fill. We expect that site grading can be accomplished with conventional earthmoving equipment in proper working order. Clearing and Stripping Clearing and stripping should consist of removing surface and subsurface deleterious materials including trees, brush, debris, topsoil and sod, and any other soft or organic materials. Stripping and clearing should extend at least 5 feet beyond all areas to receive structural fill. We estimate that a stripping depth of about 0.5 to 1.0 feet will be required to remove the sod and topsoil encountered in our explorations. Additional stripping will be required in areas where trees are removed. We recommend that trees be removed by overturning so that the majority of the roots are removed. Subgrade Preparation After stripping and excavating to the proposed subgrade elevation, and before placing structural fill, the exposed subgrade should be compacted to a firm and unyielding condition. The exposed subgrade should then be proof -rolled using loaded, rubber -tired heavy equipment. A qualified owner representative should be contacted to observe the proof -rolling prior to the placement of fill. If soft or otherwise unsuitable areas are revealed during proof -rolling or probing, that cannot be compacted to a stable and uniformly firm condition, we recommend that: 1) the subgrade soils be scarified (e.g., with a ripper or farmer's disc), aerated to reduce the moisture content and recompacted; or 2) the unsuitable soils be overexcavated and replaced with granular structural fill. Wet Weather Earthwork Considerations When the moisture content of the soils is more than a few percent above the optimum moisture content, the soil will become unstable and it will be difficult to meet the required compaction criteria. Disturbance of near surface soils should be expected if earthwork is completed during periods of prolonged wet weather. The wet weather season generally begins in October and continues through May in this area. If wet weather earthwork is unavoidable, we recommend that: • Construction traffic is restricted to, specific areas of the site, preferably areas that are surfaced with materials not susceptible to wet weather disturbance. • Construction activities are scheduled so that the length of time that soil is left exposed to moisture is reduced to the extent practical. • Any imported soils for structural fill meet the requirements for select granular fill as defined in this report. FILE No. 647-001-01 3 �.� ' Proposed Russian Ukrainian Parousia SDA Church Geotechnical Services Report October 9, 2013 • Slopes with exposed soil be covered with plastic sheeting or otherwise protected from erosion. • Earthwork activities not take place during periods of heavy precipitation. Contingencies are included in the project schedule and budget to allow for the above elements. Structural Fill Materials General Material used for structural fill should be free of debris, organic material and rock fragments larger than 6 inches. The workability of material for use as structural fill will depend on the gradation and moisture content of the soil. As the amount of fines increases, soil becomes increasingly more sensitive to small changes in moisture content and adequate compaction becomes more difficult or impossible to achieve. On -site Soils It is our opinion that the on -site soils are a suitable source of structural fill provided that they are appropriately moisture conditioned and compacted. Based on our experience with similar soils, loose lifts approximately 4 to 6 inches thick are typically required to meet compaction criteria. During our investigation, on -site soils were found to be near the optimum moisture content for adequate compaction. Shallow Foundation Support General We recommend that the proposed structure be founded on continuous wall or isolated column footings, bearing on a minimum 1-foot thick over -excavation and replacement with structural fill. The structural fill zone should extend to a horizontal distance equal to the over -excavation depth on each side of the footing. The actual over -excavation depth may vary, depending on the conditions encountered. We recommend that an experienced geotechnical professional observe the foundation surfaces before over -excavation and before placing structural fill in over -excavations. This professional should confirm that adequate bearing surfaces have been prepared and that the soil conditions are as anticipated. Unsuitable foundation bearing soils should be recompacted or removed and replaced with compacted structural fill, as recommended by the geotechnical engineer. Bearing Capacity and Footing Dimensions We recommend an allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per square foot for shallow foundations that are supported on compacted structural fill, as recommended. This allowable bearing pressure applies to long-term dead and live loads exclusive of the weight of the footing and any overlying backfill. The allowable soil bearing pressure can be increased by one-third when considering total loads, including transient loads such as those induced by wind and seismic forces. FILE No. 647-001-01 4 ... Proposed Russian Ukrainian Parousia SDA Church Geotechnical Services Report October 9, 2013 We recommend a minimum width of 18 inches for continuous wall footings and 2 feet for isolated column footings. Perimeter footings should be embedded at least 12 inches below the lowest adjacent grade where the ground is flat. Interior footings should be embedded a minimum of 6 inches below the nearest adjacent grade. Settlement We estimate that total settlement of footings that are designed and constructed as recommended should be less than 1 inch. We estimate that differential settlements should be 'h inch or less between comparably loaded isolated footings or along 50 feet of continuous footing. We anticipate that the settlement will occur essentially as loads are applied during construction. Lateral Load Resistance Lateral loads on shallow foundation elements may be resisted by passive resistance on the sides of footings and by friction on the base of footings. Passive resistance may be estimated using an equivalent fluid density of 360 pounds per cubic foot, assuming that the footings are backfilled with structural fill. Frictional resistance may be estimated using 0.25 for the coefficient of the base friction. The lateral resistance values provided above incorporate a factor of safety of 1.5. The passive earth pressure and friction components can be combined, provided that the passive component does not exceed two-thirds of the total. The top foot of soil should be neglected when calculating passive resistance, unless the foundation perimeter area is covered by a slab -on -grade or pavement. Retaining walls If retaining walls are proposed for the site, we recommend using an active lateral earth pressure 25 pounds per cubic foot (equivalent fluid density) and a passive pressure of 360 pcf. These values apply to walls that are free to rotate. The recommended pressures do not include the effects of surcharges from surface loads. These pressures are based on the assumption that backfill placed within 2 feet of the wall is compacted by hand -operated equipment and that adequate wall drainage measures are included. If vehicles will be operated within one-half the height of the wall, a traffic surcharge should be added to the wall pressure. The traffic surcharge can be approximated by assuming an additional 2 feet of backfill behind the wall. Retaining walls founded on undisturbed native soil or structural fill extending to the undisturbed native soil may be designed using the allowable soil bearing pressure and lateral resistance criteria presented above in the "Foundation Support"' section of our report. We estimate settlement of retaining structures should be similar to the values previously presented for shallow foundations. FILE No. 647-001-01 5 Proposed Russian Ukrainian Parousia SDA Church Geotechnical Services Report October 9, 2013 SEISMIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS General We understand that seismic design will be performed using the 2012 IBC standards. The following parameters may be used in computing seismic base shear forces: Seismic Design Parameters Spectral Response Accel. at Short Periods (SS) = 0.92 Spectral Response Accel. at 1 Second Periods (S1) = 1.06 Site Class = C Site Coefficient (FA) = 1.2 Site Coefficient (FV) = 1.6 Ground Rupture Because of the location of the site with respect to the nearest known active crustal faults, and the presence of a relatively thick layer of glacial outwash deposits, it is our opinion that the risk of ground rupture at the site due to surface faulting is low. Soil Liquefaction Liquefaction refers to a condition where vibration or shaking of the ground, usually from earthquake forces, results in the development of excess pore water pressures in saturated soils, and a subsequent loss of stiffness in the soil occurs. Liquefaction also causes a temporary reduction of soil shear strength and bearing capacity, which can cause settlement of the ground surface above the liquefied soil layers. In general, soils that are most susceptible to liquefaction include loose to medium dense, clean to silty sands and non -plastic silts. Based on our review of the Liquefaction Susceptibility Map available from the Washington Department of Natural Resources, the project site is identified to have a low potential risk for soil liquefaction. Based on our experience with detailed seismic studies in the Federal Way area, including areas that are mapped within the same glacial till soil deposits as the project site, we concur with the reviewed map. Seismic Compression Seismic compression is defined as the accrual of contractive volumetric strains in unsaturated soils during strong shaking from earthquakes. Loose to medium dense clean sands and non -plastic silts are particularly prone to seismic compression settlement. Seismic compression settlement is most prevalent on slopes, but it can also occur on flat ground. It is our opinion that the soil profile at the site has a low risk for seismic compression settlement. Seismic Slope Instability In our opinion, there is a low risk of seismic slope instability at the project site . FILE No. • 01 6 N'r GOLD,GIC. INc. Proposed Russian Ukrainian Parousia SDA Church Geotechnical Services Report October 9, 2013 Lateral Spreading Lateral spreading involves the lateral displacement of surficial blocks of non -liquefied soil when an underlying soil layer liquefies. Lateral spreading generally develops in areas where sloping ground or large grade changes are present. Based on our understanding of the subsurface conditions, it is our opinion that there is a low risk for the development of lateral spreading as a result of an IBC design level earthquake.

GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES ARE PERFORMED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES, PERSONS AND PROJECTS This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of our client and their authorized agents. This report may be made available to regulatory agencies for review. This report is not intended for use by others, and the information contained herein is not applicable to other sites. Insight Geologic Inc. structures our services to meet the specific needs of our clients. For example, a geotechnical or geologic study conducted for a civil engineer or architect may not fulfill the needs of a construction contractor or even another civil engineer or architect that are involved in the same project. Because each geotechnical or geologic study is unique, each geotechnical engineering or geologic report is unique, prepared solely for the specific client and project site. Our report is prepared for the exclusive use of our client. No other party may rely on the product of our services unless we agree in advance to such reliance in writing. This is to provide our firm with reasonable protection against open-ended liability claims by third parties with whom there would otherwise be no contractual limits to their actions. Within the limitations of scope, schedule and budget, our services have been executed in accordance with our agreement with the client and generally accepted geotechnical practices in this area at the time this report was prepared. This report should not be applied for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated. A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING OR GEOLOGIC REPORT IS BASED ON A UNIQUE SET OF PROJECT -SPECIFIC FACTORS Insight Geologic, Inc. considered a number of unique, project -specific factors when establishing the scope of services for this project and report. Unless Insight Geologic specifically indicates otherwise, do not rely on this report if it was: • not prepared for you, • not prepared for your project, • not prepared for the specific site explored, or • completed before important project changes were made. For example, changes that can affect the applicability of this report include those that affect: • the function of the proposed structure; • elevation, configuration, location, orientation or weight of the proposed structure; • composition of the design team; or • project ownership. If important changes are made after the date of this report,. Insight Geologic should be given the opportunity to review our interpretations and recommendations and provide written modifications or confirmation, as appropriate. Developed based on material provided by ASFE, Professional Firms Practicing in the Geosciences; www.asfe.org . SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE This geotechnical or geologic report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was performed. The findings and conclusions of this report may be affected by the passage of time, by manmade events such as construction on or adjacent to the site, or by natural events such as floods, earthquakes, slope instability or ground water fluctuations. Always contact Insight Geologic before applying a report to determine if it remains applicable. MOST GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOLOGIC FINDINGS ARE PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS Our interpretations of subsurface conditions are based on field observations from widely spaced sampling locations at the site. Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken. Insight Geologic reviewed field and laboratory data and then applied our professional judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ, sometimes significantly, from those indicated in this report. Our report, conclusions and interpretations should not be construed as a warranty of the subsurface conditions. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS ARE NOT FINAL Do not over -rely on the preliminary construction recommendations included in this report. These recommendations are not final, because they were developed principally from Insight Geologic's professional judgment and opinion. Insight Geologic's recommendations can be finalized only by observing actual subsurface conditions revealed during construction. We recommend that Insight Geologic be retained to perform construction monitoring. Alternatively, if Insight Geologic is not retained for construction observation, a full and complete record of construction activity including compaction measurements by a qualified individual should be retained by the client. Sufficient monitoring, testing and consultation by Insight Geologic or other qualified individual should be provided during construction to confirm that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to provide recommendations for design changes should the conditions revealed during the work differ from those anticipated, and to evaluate whether or not earthwork activities are completed in accordance with our recommendations. Retaining Insight Geologic for construction observation for this project is the most effective method of managing the risks associated with unanticipated conditions. A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING OR GEOLOGIC REPORT COULD BE SUBJECT TO MISINTERPRETATION Misinterpretation of this report by other design team members can result in costly problems. You could lower that risk by having Insight Geologic confer with appropriate members of the design team after submitting the report. Also retain Insight Geologic to review pertinent elements of the design team's plans and specifications. Contractors can also misinterpret a geotechnical engineering or geologic report. Reduce that risk by having Insight Geologic participate in pre -bid and pre -construction conferences, and by providing construction observation. DO NOT REDRAW THE EXPLORATION LOGS Geotechnical engineers and geologists prepare final boring and testing logs based upon their interpretation of field logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a geotechnical engineering or geologic report should never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings. Only photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize that separating logs from the report can elevate risk. GIVE CONTRACTORS A COMPLETE REPORT AND GUIDANCE Some owners and design professionals believe they can make contractors liable for unanticipated subsurface conditions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent costly problems, give contractors the complete geotechnical engineering or geologic report, but preface it with a clearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise contractors that the report was not prepared for purposes of bid development and that the report's accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with Insight Geologic and/or to conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of information they need or prefer. A pre -bid conference can also be valuable. Be sure contractors have sufficient time to perform additional study. Only then might an owner be in a position to give contractors the best information available, while requiring them to at least share the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Further, a contingency for unanticipated conditions should be included in your project budget and schedule. CONTRACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SITE SAFETY ON THEIR OWN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Our geotechnical recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's procedures, methods, schedule or management of the work site. The contractor is solely responsible for job site safety and for managing construction operations to minimize risks to on -site personnel and to adjacent properties. READ THESE PROVISIONS CLOSELY Some clients, design professionals and contractors may not recognize that the geoscience practices (geotechnical engineering or geology) are far less exact than other engineering and natural science disciplines. This lack of understanding can create unrealistic expectations that could lead to disappointments, claims and disputes. Insight Geologic includes these explanatory "limitations" provisions in our reports to help reduce such risks. Please confer with Insight Geologic if you are unclear how these "Report Limitations and Guidelines for Use" apply to your project or site. GEOTECHNICAL, GEOLOGIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS SHOULD NOT BE INTERCHANGED The equipment, techniques and personnel used to perform an environmental study differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical or geologic study and vice versa. For that reason, a geotechnical engineering or geologic report does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Similarly, environmental reports are not used to address geotechnical or geologic concerns regarding a specific project.
