Smokey Point Distributing Traffic Impact Analysis
1. INTRODUCTION
Gibson Traffic Consultants, Inc. (GTC) has been retained to analyze the traffic impacts of the
proposed Smokey Point Distributing development. The proposed development is located east of
63rd Avenue NE at 192nd Street NE. A site vicinity map is included in Figure 1. The development
is proposed to consist of a 58,400 square-foot (SF) building. The site is proposed to have one
access to 63rd Avenue NE that will align with 192nd Street NE, creating a 4-way intersection.
Brad Lincoln, responsible for this report, is a licensed professional engineer (Civil) in the State of
Washington and member of the Washington State section of the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE).
2. METHODOLOGY
Trip generation calculations for the development are based on data published in the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition (2012). Average trip
generation rates were utilized to estimate the weekday daily, AM peak-hour, and PM peak-hour
trips.
The City of Arlington and Snohomish County have an interlocal agreement that provides for
reciprocal mitigation fees. Snohomish County mitigation fees can be calculated based on the
default percentage in the interlocal agreement, which is 70%, or based on actual impacts. The City
of Arlington also has an interlocal agreement with WSDOT that provides for mitigation fees to
WSDOT for impacts to WSDOT improvement projects. WSDOT improvement projects and their
associated fees are based on the most recent Exhibit C list, which is included in the attachments.
City of Arlington developments are required to pay for any WSDOT improvement project on the
Exhibit C list impacted with 3 or more directional PM peak-hour trips or based on the area wide
mitigation fee.

Smokey Point Distributing Traffic Impact Analysis
3. TRIP GENERATION
The Smokey Point Distributing building is proposed to include two uses, operations space
associated with the transportation of goods and maintenance of the vehicles and warehouse space
associated with the storage of materials that have or will need to be shipped. The trip generation
from the site has been calculated using national research data for land uses contained in the Institute
of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition (2012). The trip
generation using the ITE data has then been compared to the anticipated use of the site to ensure
the accuracy of the trip generation calculations.
The site is proposed to consist of 48,000 SF of operations space, including office space, parts area
and truck maintenance area. The remaining 10,400 SF is warehouse area for parts that have been
delivered or will be shipped. In addition, there are areas around the building that will be used for
the storage of vehicles and equipment. Outdoor storage areas are not typically included in trip
generation calculations for industrial uses. The trip generation calculations for the Smokey Point
Distributing development have been calculated using ITE Land Use Code 110, General Light
Industrial, for the 48,000 SF of operations area and ITE Land Use Code 150, Warehousing, for the
10,400 SF of warehouse space. The trip generation calculations have been performed based on the
average trip generation rates for 1,000 SF of space and are summarized in Table 1.

The ITE trip generation calculations were also compared to the anticipated trip generation based
on the activities of the site. A summary of the employment and delivery information is included
below:
ï‚· 75 daily employees
ï‚· 15 to 20 additional truck drivers weekly
ï‚· 30 truck deliveries per day

Smokey Point Distributing Traffic Impact Analysis
There are anticipated to be approximately 80 employees/truck drivers per day and 30 deliveries.
However, a portion of the employees arrive/leave outside of the peak-hours (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM
and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) and would be spread over several hours. Additionally, many of the
deliveries will occur outside the peak-hours. It was estimated that the peak-hour trip generation
would be between 40 and 60 peak-hour trips and the daily trip generation would be 300 to 400
trips. The ITE trip generation calculations are representative of the anticipated use of the site and
has therefore been utilized to determine the impacts to the surrounding street system and to
calculate the traffic mitigation fees for the site. The trip generation calculations are included in the
attachments.
4. TRIP DISTRIBUTION
The trip distribution for the Smokey Point Distributing development is based on previously
approved distributions for industrial uses in the site vicinity and the anticipated routes for trucks.
It is important to note that the majority of trips during the AM and PM peak-hours are employee
trips and therefore have a greater influence on the peak-hour distributions than truck traffic. It is
anticipated that 70% of the development’s trips will travel along 172nd Street NE (SR-531), sixty
percent to and from the west and ten percent to and from the east. Approximately 25% of the
development’s trips will travel to and from the north along 67th Avenue NE, north of 197th Street
NE. The remaining 5% of the development’s trips are anticipated to travel to and from the south
along 67th Avenue NE, south of 172nd Street NE (SR-531). Detailed distributions for the AM and
PM peak-hours are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, respectively.
The interlocal agreement between the City of Arlington and Snohomish County requires detailed
development trip turning movement data at Snohomish County key intersections impacted with
three or more directional trips in the AM peak-hour and PM peak-hour. The development will only
impact one Snohomish County key intersection with 3 or more directional development trips in
the AM and PM peak-hours. Individual trip turning movements at the impacted Snohomish County
key intersection are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 for the AM and PM peak-hours, respectively.
The key intersection volumes are also shown in Table 2 and Table 3 for the AM and PM peak-
hours, respectively

5. LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
The main impacts of the Smokey Point Distributing development are along 172nd Street NE (SR-
531). WSDOT is currently collection traffic mitigation fees for impacts to 172nd Street NE (SR-
531) between 43rd Avenue NE and 67th Avenue NE to fund improvements, consisting of additional
through lanes and turning lanes. The impacts of the Smokey Point Distributing development on
this section of 172nd Street NE (SR-531) will be mitigated through the payment of WSDOT traffic
mitigation fees and is discussed in more detail later in this report.
The majority of the trips in the site vicinity will travel along 59th Avenue NE and 188th Street NE.
Both of these roadway are included in the City of Arlington Cost Fee Basis. Therefore, City of
Arlington traffic mitigation fees are based on improvements to these roadways. Intersection level
of service analysis has therefore not been performed along these roadways since the development
will be paying for planned improvements to these roadways as part of the City of Arlington traffic
mitigation fees, which are discussed in more detail later in this report.
6. MITIGATION ANALYSIS
The City of Arlington collects traffic mitigation fees based on the number of PM peak-hour trips
generated by a development. The City of Arlington also has interlocal agreements with Snohomish
County and WSDOT for traffic mitigation fees.
6.1 City of Arlington
The City of Arlington currently has a traffic mitigation fee of $3,355 per PM peak-hour trip. The
Smokey Point Distributing development is anticipated to generate 50 PM peak-hour trips. These
trips result in a City of Arlington traffic mitigation fees of $167,750.00.
It is important to note that City of Arlington traffic mitigation fees do not vest to the time of
application. It is possible that the City of Arlington mitigation fees will increase between the time
of this report and when the traffic mitigation fees are required to be paid.

Smokey Point Distributing Traffic Impact Analysis
6.2 Washington State Department of Transportation
WSDOT improvement projects and their associated fees are based on the most recent Exhibit C
list, which is included in the attachments. City of Arlington developments are required to pay for
the WSDOT improvement projects on the Exhibit C list impacted with 10 or more PM peak-hour
trips. The Smokey Point Distributing development will only impact the WSDOT improvement
project along 172nd Street NE (SR-531) between 43rd Avenue NE and 67th Avenue NE with 10 or
more PM peak-hour trips. The fee for this improvement project is $200.50 per daily trip. The
development is anticipated to impact this improvement project with 223 daily trips and will
therefore have WSDOT traffic mitigation fees of $44,711.50.
6.3 Snohomish County
The City of Arlington has an interlocal agreement with Snohomish County that provides for
mitigation payments for impacts to Snohomish County arterials. City of Arlington developments
that impact road improvement projects with 3 directional PM peak-hour trips identified in
Snohomish County’s Transportation Needs Report (TNR) are required to pay mitigation fees to
Snohomish County. The Smoke Point Distributing development will not impact any improvement
projects with 3 or more directional PM peak-hour trips identified in Snohomish County’s TNR.
The Smokey Point Distributing development is therefore not required to pay any mitigation fees
to Snohomish County.
7. CONCLUSIONS
The proposed Smokey Point Distributing development is located on the east side of 63rd Avenue
NE at 192nd Street NE. The development is proposed to consist of a 58,400 SF building that will
include 48,000 SF of general light industrial and 10,400 SF of warehouse. The Smokey Point
Distributing development is anticipated to generate 372 daily trips with 50 PM peak-hour trips.
The City of Arlington traffic mitigation fees, which will help fund roadway improvements in the
site vicinity, are $167,750. The WSDOT traffic mitigation fees, which will help fund
improvements to 172nd Street NE (SR-531), are $44,711.50. The development will not impact any
Snohomish County improvements projects on the Transportation Needs Report and is therefore
not required to pay Snohomish County traffic mitigation fees.

Introduction
The project is generally located in the northwest quarter of Section 15, Township 31 North,
Range 05 East of the Willamette Meridian. More specifically the site is located North of 188th
Street on 63rd Ave NE. The parcel numbers for the site are 31051500400300,
31051500400400, and 31051500401500. The current use of the site is 910 Undeveloped
(Vacant) Land and is 15.97 acres and contains 100% of low growing vegetation. The site is
generally flat with less than 3% slope and consists of loamy sand type soils. There are no known
wetlands onâ€site or in the adjacent areas.
The proposed project mainly consists of slight grading and vegetation removal and the
construction of a new 58,656 sf. building, parking lots, access roads, permeable gravel
parking/storage areas, and associated utilities. Note that the proposed building will have a roof
area of 63,968 sf. The new asphalt entrance along the west side of the site will provide access
to the east side of 63rd Ave NE.
Water is to be provided by a new water main bisecting the property from 63rd Ave NE to 66th
Ave NE. Sewer is to be provided by a new stubâ€out extending from the existing main located
along the east side of 63rd Ave NE.
All stormwater runoff is to be treated prior to flow control through either a WSDOT Media
Filter, 3 BayFilters, or 18†of loamy sand that meets treatment specifications. Flow control
facilities consist of large infiltration trenches. Refer to Minimum Requirements #6â€7 for further
drainage information.
Note that the building is permitted per Land Used Code, Table of Permissible Uses Section
10.400 General Industrial.

Minimum Requirement #1 Preparation of Stormwater Site Plans
Stormwater Site Plans are being prepared in accordance with Volume I of the Department of
Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington as part of this project. The
plans are prepared as part of the Land Use Permit submittal for the City of Arlington.
Minimum Requirement #2 Construction Stormwater Pollution
Prevention
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan has been created for this project. This project does not
meet the requirements that warrant an NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit because it does
not discharge to waters of the state. All of the stormwater generated by the construction site
will be infiltrated on the site. The 12 BMP Elements have been addressed in this report and in
the SWPP plan.
The 12 BMP Elements
Element #1 – Mark Clearing Limits
To protect adjacent properties and to reduce the area of soil exposed to construction, the limits
of construction will be clearly marked before landâ€disturbing activities begin. Trees that are to
be preserved, as well as all sensitive areas and their buffers, shall be clearly delineated, both in
the field and on the plans. In general, natural vegetation and native topsoil shall be retained in
an undisturbed state to the maximum extent possible. The BMPs relevant to marking the
clearing limits that will be applied for this project include:
BMP C103: High Visibility Plastic or Metal Fence:
The clearing limits will be marked only by property boundary stakes. If entrances other
than the construction entrance are used and need to be limited, high visibility or
construction fencing will be used.
Element #2 – Establish Construction Access
Construction access or activities occurring on unpaved areas shall be minimized, yet where
necessary, access points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public
roads, and wheel washing, street sweeping, and street cleaning shall be employed to prevent
sediment from entering state waters. All wash wastewater shall be controlled on site. The
specific BMPs related to establishing construction access that will be used on this project
include:
BMP C105: Stabilize Construction Entrance
Element #3 – Control Flow Rates
Flow control will be achieved by infiltrating all stormwater on the site. There will be no runoff
leaving the site during storm events.
Page | 7
Element #4 – Install Sediment Controls
Stormwater runoff is not anticipated to leave the site. Sediment controls will be installed on
the site to protect the existing and proposed infiltration facilities. All stormwater runoff from
disturbed areas shall pass through an appropriate sediment removal BMP before leaving the
construction site or prior to being discharged to an infiltration facility. The specific BMPs to be
used for controlling sediment on this project include:
BMP C220: Storm Drain Inlet Protection
BMP C233: Silt Fence
Element #5 – Stabilize Soils
Exposed and unworked soils shall be stabilized with the application of effective BMPs to
prevent erosion throughout the life of the project. The specific BMPs for soil stabilization that
shall be used on this project include:
BMP C120: Temporary and Permanent Seeding
BMP C121: Mulching
Element #6 – Protect Slopes
All cut and fill slopes will be designed, constructed, and protected in a manner than minimizes
erosion. The slopes on the site in the existing and proposed condition are minimal therefore
BMPs for slope protection are not necessary.
Element #7 – Protect Drain Inlets
All storm drain inlets and culverts made operable during construction shall be protected to
prevent unfiltered or untreated water from entering the drainage conveyance system.
However, the first priority is to keep all access roads clean of sediment and keep street wash
water separate from entering storm drains until treatment can be provided. Storm Drain Inlet
Protection (BMP C220) will be implemented for all drainage inlets and culverts that could
potentially be impacted by sedimentâ€laden runoff on and near the project site. The following
inlet protection measures will be applied on this project:
BMP C201: Grassâ€Lined Channels
BMP C220: Storm Drain Inlet Protection
Element #8 – Stabilize Channels and Outlets
The site will not produce runoff that will be conveyed in channels, or discharged to a stream or
some other natural drainage point.
Element #9 – Control Pollutants
All pollutants, including waste materials and demolition debris, that occur onsite shall be
handled and disposed of in a manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater. Good
Page | 8
housekeeping and preventative measures will be taken to ensure that the site will be kept
clean, wellâ€organized, and free of debris. If required, BMPs to be implemented to control
specific sources of pollutants are discussed below.
The facility does not require a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan under
the Federal regulations of the Clean Water Act (CWA).
Element #10 – Control Dewatering
There will be no dewatering as part of this construction project.
Element #11 – Maintain BMPs
All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be maintained and
repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. Maintenance
and repair shall be conducted in accordance with each particular BMPs specifications
(attached). Visual monitoring of the BMPs will be conducted at least once every calendar week
and within 24 hours of any stormwater or nonâ€stormwater discharge from the site. If the site
becomes inactive, and is temporarily stabilized, the inspection frequency will be reduced to
once every month.
All temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after the
final site stabilization is achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed. Trapped
sediment shall be removed or stabilized on site. Disturbed soil resulting from removal of BMPs
or vegetation shall be permanently stabilized.
Element #12 – Manage the Project
Erosion and sediment control BMPs for this project have been designed based on the following
principles:
ï‚§ The site has been designed so that the project fits the existing topography,
soils, and drainage patterns.
ï‚§ Erosion control is emphasized rather than sediment control.
ï‚§ The project is being phased in order to minimize the extent and duration of
the area exposed.
ï‚§ Runoff velocities are kept low due to the slope of the site. No runoff will
leave the site.
ï‚§ Sediment will be retained on site.
ï‚§ ESC measures will be thoroughly monitored throughout the duration of the
project.
ï‚§ Most of the earthwork will be scheduled during the dry season however due
to the low erosive nature of the soils winter grading is not expected to create
an additional erosion problem.
In addition, project management will incorporate the key components listed below:
Page | 9
As this project site is located west of the Cascade Mountain Crest, the project will be managed
according to the following key project components:
Phasing of Construction
ï‚§ The construction project is being phased to the extent practicable in
order to prevent soil erosion, and, to the maximum extent possible, the
transport of sediment from the site during construction.
ï‚§ Reâ€vegetation of exposed areas and maintenance of that vegetation shall
be an integral part of the clearing activities during each phase of
construction, per the Scheduling BMP (C 162).
Seasonal Work Limitations
ï‚§ Since the site is expected to have 100 percent infiltration of surface water
runoff within the site in approved and installed erosion and sediment
control facilities. It is not necessary to limit the work to a seasonal
window.
Coordination with Utilities and Other Jurisdictions
ï‚§ Care has been taken to coordinate with utilities, other construction
projects, and the local jurisdiction in preparing this SWPPP and
scheduling the construction work.
Inspection and Monitoring
ï‚§ All BMPs shall be inspected, maintained, and repaired as needed to
assure continued performance of their intended function. Site
inspections shall be conducted by a person who is knowledgeable in the
principles and practices of erosion and sediment control. This person has
the necessary skills to:
ï‚· Assess the site conditions and construction activities that could impact
the quality of stormwater, and
ï‚· Assess the effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures used
to control the quality of stormwater discharges.
ï‚§ A Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead shall be onâ€site or onâ€call
at all times.
ï‚§ Whenever inspection and/or monitoring reveals that the BMPs identified
in this SWPPP are inadequate, due to the actual discharge of or potential
to discharge a significant amount of any pollutant, appropriate BMPs or
design changes shall be implemented as soon as possible.
Maintaining an Updated Construction SWPPP
ï‚§ This SWPPP shall be retained onâ€site or within reasonable access to the
site.
Page | 10
ï‚§ The SWPPP shall be modified whenever there is a change in the design,
construction, operation, or maintenance at the construction site that has,
or could have, a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants to waters
of the state.
ï‚§ The SWPPP shall be modified if, during inspections or investigations
conducted by the owner/operator, or the applicable local or state
regulatory authority, it is determined that the SWPPP is ineffective in
eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in stormwater
discharges from the site. The SWPPP shall be modified as necessary to
include additional or modified BMPs designed to correct problems
identified. Revisions to the SWPPP shall be completed within seven (7)
days following the inspection.
Page | 11
Minimum Requirement #3 Source Control of Pollution
All known, available and reasonable source control BMPs shall be applied to this project. BMPs
will be used to prevent stormwater from coming into contract with pollutants.
Owner will assign one individuals to be responsible for stormwater pollution control. Hold
regular meetings to review the overall operation of the BMPs. The owner will establish
responsibilities for inspections, operation and maintenance, and availability for emergency
situations.
Owner agrees to train all team members in the operation, maintenance and inspections of
BMPs, and reporting procedures.
Owner agrees to promptly contain and clean up solid and liquid pollutant leaks and spills
including oils, solvents, fuels, and dust from manufacturing operations on any exposed soil,
vegetation, or paved area.
Owner agrees to sweep paved material handling and storage areas regularly as needed, for the
collection and disposal of dust and debris that could contaminate stormwater. Owner agrees to
not hose down pollutants from any area to the ground, storm drain, conveyance ditch, or
receiving water unless necessary for dust control purposes to meet air quality regulations and
unless the pollutants are conveyed to a treatment system approved by the local jurisdiction.
Owner agrees to clean oils, debris, sludge, etc. from all BMP systems regularly, including catch
basins, settling/detention basins, oil/water separators, boomed areas, and conveyance
systems, to prevent the contamination of stormwater. If hazardous waste is ever encountered
on the site it will be handled in accordance with Chapter 173â€303 WAC.
Owner agrees to promptly repair or replace all substantially cracked or otherwise damaged
paved secondary containment, highâ€intensity parking and any other drainage areas, which are
subjected to pollutant material leaks or spills.
Owner agrees to promptly repair or replace all leaking connections, pipes, hoses, valves, etc.
which can contaminate stormwater.

Minimum Requirement #4 Preservation of Natural Drainage System and
Outfalls
The proposed grading project will not alter the existing drainage system or outfalls.
Existing Drainage
The existing 15.97 acre site is undeveloped and is covered mostly in low growing vegetation. All
of the existing drainage infiltrates onsite and does not discharge to waters of the state. This
project will preserve the natural drainage system and outfalls by using infiltration for
stormwater management.
Soil
The existing soils consist of Everett Gravelly Sandy Loam 0â€8 percent slopes per the National
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey of Snohomish County, see Appendix F. The
physical and chemical properties of the soil are listed in the Soil Report in Appendix F.
Additionally, a geoâ€technical report has been completed by Geotest, Inc., which correlates with
NRCS and provides further insight to the type of soils at deeper depths and the location of the
water table. Per geoâ€technical report the subâ€surface soils generally consist of 6 to 9 inches of
topsoil over 1 to 3 feet of orange tan weathered glacial outwash over native sand and gravel
outwash. Note that per geoâ€technical report groundwater was not encounter. For further soil
descriptions and information refer to the geoâ€technical report in Appendix E.
Downstream Analysis
The existing site infiltrates onsite therefore a downstream analysis was not conducted for the
project.
Minimum Requirement #5 Onâ€Site Stormwater Management
Infiltration will be used on the proposed project site for flow control. In general, the runoff
from the proposed parking and building will flow to infiltration trenches. Runoff from the
permeable gravel parking and access road will flow into the permeable gravel and infiltrate into
the subâ€grade below.
Minimum Requirement #6 Runoff Treatment
Runoff treatment for the northwest pavement area is provided by a Type 1 WSDOT Media Filter
(RT.07) along the northern boundary of the site. The WSDOT Media Filter is a linear flowâ€
through stormwater runoff treatment device that is typically used along highway side slopes,
Page | 13
medians, burrow ditches, and along other linear depressions. The media filter treats total
suspended solids (TSS – Basic), phosphorus, and dissolved metals (Enhanced Treatment).The
west and southwest pavement areas are to be treated by 3 BayFilter’s (TSS –Basic) that are inâ€
line with the stormwater conveyance system. All remaining pollution generating impervious
surfaces are to sheet flow into the permeable gravel and infiltrate through a minimum of 18â€
inches of loamy sand soil that meets the treatment requirements set forth in Section 3.3.7 of
Volume III of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Note all
proposed roofs are to consist of coated metal material and are considered nonâ€pollution
generating surfaces per section 4.1.3 of Volume V from the 2005 Stormwater Management
Manual for Western Washington
For further product and design information refer to Appendix C. Note all water quality facilities
were modeled using WWHM12 with 15â€minute time steps as outlined in Appendix III of Volume
III from the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Minimum Requirement #7 Flow Control
All of the stormwater generated on the project site will be infiltrated onâ€site creating no
downstream runoff.
The long term infiltration rate of the outwash soils is estimated at 9 in/hr. This estimation is
based on the D10 grain size determined by Geotest Inc., which refers to the particle size when
10% of the remaining particles are finer. The D10 grain size is widely used and accepted in
estimating the infiltration rate of soils and has been incorporated into the 2005 Stormwater
Manual for Western Washington, refer to Figure 1. Using data from Test Pit #6 & 8 at depths of
5’ & 2.5’, Geotest determined that the D10 grain size was 0.407 and 0.504 mm, respectively.
These D10 grain sizes correlated to a long term infiltration rate of 9 in/hr. Data used for this
estimated infiltration rate can be seen in Figures 15 & 16 of the geoâ€tech report in Appendix E.
Figure 1: Table 3.8 from Volume III of the 2005 Stormwater Manual for Western Washington
Page | 14
The long term infiltration rate for the loamy sand type soil is estimated at 0.5 in/hr. Due to the
D10 particle size being smaller than 0.05 mm Table 3.8 could not be use, therefore the long term
infiltration rate was estimated using the USDA Soil Textural Classification outlined in Table 3.7
of Volume III from the 2005 Stormwater Manual for Western Washington, refer to Figure 2.
Flow control facilities for this site are separated into three parts, the north infiltration trench,
the south infiltration trench, and the permeable gravel parking/storage area. The north
infiltration trench will control runoff from the pavement and landscape areas located in the
northwest portion of the site and the northern half of the roof. The trench is located along the
northern edge of the site is to be 548’ long, 7.5’ wide, and 3’ deep. The bottom of the
infiltration trench is approximately 5’ below grade and was sized with an infiltration rate of 9
in/hr.
The south infiltration trench will control runoff from pavement, gravel, and landscape areas
located west and south of the proposed shop/office and the southern half of the roof runoff.
The trench is located along the southern boundary of the western portion of the site and is to
be 130.5’ long, 30’ wide, and 3’ deep. The bottom of the infiltration trench is approximately 10’
below grade and was sized with an infiltration rate of 9 in/hr.
All remaining runoff is to sheet flow into the permeable gravel parking/storage area and
infiltrate into the native soils. Note that the gravel is to have a storage depth of approximately
4†and the subâ€grade is to have an infiltration rate of 0.5 in/hr. Note that the subâ€grade is to
consist of 18â€inches of loamy sand for water quality.

Functional Description
The MFD removes suspended solids, phosphorus (MFD without 3-inch medium compost
blanket), and metals from highway runoff through physical straining, ion exchange, carbonate
precipitation, and biofiltration.
Stormwater runoff is conveyed to the MFD via sheet flow or is redispersed to a vegetation-free
gravel zone (MFD Type 1 – Type 5) to ensure dispersion and provide some pollutant trapping.
Next, a grass strip provides pretreatment, further enhancing filtration and extending the life of
the system. The runoff is then filtered through a bed of porous, alkalinity-generating granular
medium—the media filter drain mix. Treated water drains away from the MFD mix bed into a
downstream conveyance system. Geotextile lines the underside of the MFD mix bed and the
underdrain pipe and trench (if applicable).
The underdrain trench is an option for hydraulic conveyance of treated stormwater to a desired
location, such as a downstream flow control facility or stormwater outfall. The trench’s
perforated underdrain pipe is a protective measure to ensure free flow through the MFD mix.
It may be possible to omit the underdrain pipe if it can be demonstrated that the pipe is not
necessary to maintain free flow through the MFD mix and underdrain trench.
It is critical to note that water should sheet flow across or be redispersed to the MFD. To ensure
sediment accumulation does not restrict sheet flow, edge of pavement installations should
include a 1-inch drop between the pavement surface and nonvegetation zone where there is
no guardrail or include a 1-inch drop where there is guardrail. Note that MFD Types 4 through
Type 7 include a 3-inch drop between the flow spreader and the MFD mix bed to ensure sheet
flow continues over time.
Applications, Limitations, and LID Feasibility
Applications
Provides basic, phosphorus (MFD without 3-inch medium compost blanket on MFD
mix area), and enhanced water quality treatment.
MFD Type 1 and Type 3 – Ideal along highway side slopes, when adjacent to wetlands,
and in narrow right of way locations.
Dual MFD for Highway Medians (MFD Type 2) – Prime locations for the MFD Type 2
are in highway medians, roadside drainage or borrow ditches, or other linear
depressions. It is especially critical for water to sheet flow across the MFD Type 2.
Channelized flows or ditch flows running down the middle of the MFD Type 2
(continuous off-site inflow) should be minimized.
MFD Type 4 and Type 5 – Ideal where stormwater needs to be or already is captured
and conveyed to a discharge location that can accommodate this BMP. These options
provide maximum flexibility for placement where sheet flow off the edge of pavement
is not feasible. Catch basins and pipes are used to convey stormwater to the MFD
Type 4 and Type 5.

Introduction
Founded in 1997, BaySaver Technologies, Inc. is a manufacturer of
stormwater treatment technologies. BayFilterâ„¢ (1) is a stormwater filtration device
designed to remove fine sediments, heavy metals, and phosphorus from
stormwater runoff.
BayFilterâ„¢ relies on a spiral wound media filter cartridge with
approximately 43 square feet of active filtration area. The filter cartridges are
housed in a concrete structure that evenly distributes the flow between cartridges.
System design is offline with an external bypass that routes high intensity storms
away from the system to prevent sediment resuspension. Flow through the filter
cartridges is gravity driven and self-regulating, which makes the BayFilterâ„¢
system a low maintenance, high performance stormwater treatment technology.
The BayFilterâ„¢ system has been extensively tested, and has consistently
shown more than 80% removal of suspended sediment from influent water. The
system also demonstrated the capability to remove more than 50% of the total
phosphorus influent load, including a portion of the dissolved phosphorus.
This manual provides detailed technical information on the BayFilterâ„¢
system including its capabilities and limitations. The manual describes the steps
involved in designing a BayFilterâ„¢ system as well as the installation and
maintenance requirements of the system.
BaySaver Technologies is a complete stormwater solutions provider. We
are always willing to assist design professionals to achieve the most efficient,
economical systems for their clients and projects. Please call the BaySaver
Technologies Inc. Engineering Department at 1.800.229.7283 for assistance.
(1) The BayFilterâ„¢ stormwater filtration system is protected by U.S. Patent #6869528, in addition to
several pending patents.

BayFilter Water Quality Rate (WWHM2012)
SSC-5 Depth to Bedrock, Water Table, or Impermeable Layer
The base of all infiltration basins or trench systems shall be 5 feet above
the seasonal high-water mark, bedrock (or hardpan) or other low
permeability layer. A separation down to 3 feet may be considered if the
ground water mounding analysis, volumetric receptor capacity, and the
design of the overflow and/or bypass structures are judged by the site
professional to be adequate to prevent overtopping and meet the site
suitability criteria specified in this section.
SSC-6 Soil Physical and Chemical Suitability for Treatment
(Applies to infiltration facilities used as treatment facilities not to facilities
used for flow control)
The soil texture and design infiltration rates should be considered along
with the physical and chemical characteristics specified below to
determine if the soil is adequate for removing the target pollutants. The
following soil properties must be carefully considered in making such a
determination:
Cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the treatment soil must be 5
milliequivalents CEC/100 g dry soil (USEPA Method 9081).
Consider empirical testing of soil sorption capacity, if practicable.
Ensure that soil CEC is sufficient for expected pollutant loadings,
particularly heavy metals. CEC values of >5 meq/100g are expected in
loamy sands, according to Rawls, et al. Lower CEC content may be
considered if it is based on a soil loading capacity determination for
the target pollutants that is accepted by the local jurisdiction.
Depth of soil used for infiltration treatment must be a minimum of 18
inches.
Organic Content of the treatment soil (ASTM D 2974): Organic
matter can increase the sorptive capacity of the soil for some
pollutants. The site professional should evaluate whether the organic
matter content is sufficient for control of the target pollutant(s).
Waste fill materials should not be used as infiltration soil media nor
should such media be placed over uncontrolled or non-engineered fill
soils.
Engineered soils may be used to meet the design criteria in this chapter
and the performance goals in Chapters 3 and 4 of Volume V. Field
performance evaluation(s), using acceptable protocols, would be
needed to determine feasibility and acceptability by the local
jurisdiction. See also Chapter 12 of Volume V.

192nd Street NE in Arlington, Washington. The subject property consists of three
separate parcels (tax parcel numbers 31051500400400, 310515004001500 and
31051500400300) with a total area of approximately 16 acres. The purpose of this
evaluation was to establish general subsurface conditions beneath the site from which
conclusions and recommendations for foundation design could be formulated.
Specifically, our scope of services included the following tasks:
• Exploration of soil and groundwater conditions underlying the site by advancing
four boring explorations with a subcontracted drill rig to depths ranging from
approximately 21.5 to 36.5 feet below ground surface (BGS) and 10 test pit
explorations dug by an excavator subcontracted by Smokey Point Distributing to
depths ranging from approximately 3.5 to 13.5 feet BGS.
• Laboratory testing on representative samples in order to classify and evaluate
the engineering characteristics of the soils encountered.
• Provide this written report containing a description of subsurface soil and
groundwater conditions, exploratory boring and test pit logs, findings and
recommendations pertaining to site preparation and earthwork, fill and
compaction, wet weather earthwork, seismic design considerations, foundation
support, slab-on-grade construction, foundation and site drainage, utilities,
stormwater infiltration and geotechnical consultation and construction monitoring.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
GTS understands that an approximately 58,000 square foot building will be constructed
in the northwestern portion of the property referenced above. The building will be a
large office/shop/warehouse facility. New building construction is anticipated to consist
of a steel framed structure with shallow conventional concrete foundations, slab-on-

grade floors and a metal-sheet exterior. Foundation loads are anticipated to be relatively
light. Asphalt and concrete drive paths and parking facilities are proposed around the
perimeter of the new building. Pervious gravel parking and surfacing is proposed
throughout the eastern and southern portions of the property.
The site is flat with less than a few feet of elevation differential across the property. Tree
cover has been completely removed from the site. GTS anticipates that some grading is
likely to occur, but that changes to site grades will be minimal.
SITE CONDITIONS
This section discusses the general surface and subsurface conditions observed at the
project site at the time of our field investigation. Interpretations of site conditions are
based on the results of our review of available information, site reconnaissance,
subsurface explorations, and laboratory testing.
General Geologic Conditions
Geologic information for the project site was obtained from the Geologic Map of the
Arlington West Quadrangle (Minard, 1985), published by the U.S. Geological Survey.
According to the referenced map, near surface soils in the vicinity of the project site
consist of Marysville Sand Member recessional glacial outwash (Qvrm) and Advance
Outwash (Qva). According to Minard, Marysville Sand recessional glacial outwash
generally consists of well-drained, stratified to massive, outwash sand with some pebble
gravel with localized areas of silt and clay. Advance Outwash was described as clean,
gray, pebbly sand with increasing amounts of gravel higher in the soil unit. Advance
Outwash was deposited by meltwater flowing from the advancing front of the glacier and
then overridden. Native soils encountered during our subsurface exploration were
generally consistent with the mapped glacial outwash deposits.
Surface Conditions
The subject property is currently an undeveloped property located directly east of the
intersection of 63rd Avenue NE and 192nd St NE, extending from 63rd Avenue NE to 66th
Avenue NE. The property is flat, with less than a few feet of elevation differential across
the building footprint. Native tree cover has been removed from the site, leaving only
short brush and overgrowth from the initial clearing of the property. Several brush, log
and woodchip stockpiles were present across the site. Surface water was not observed
within the proposed development area at the time of our field investigation.
Subsurface Soil Conditions
Subsurface conditions were explored by advancing 10 test pit explorations TP-01
through TP-10) on March 11, 2014 with an excavator contracted by the client and 4
exploration borings (B-1 through B-4) on March 19, 2014 using a subcontracted drill rig.
Test pit exploration were advanced to depths between 3.5 and 13.5 feet below ground
surface (BGS) while boring explorations were advanced to depths of between 21 and
36.5 feet BGS.

Representative samples were obtained during drilling by using the Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) procedure in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials
ASTM D1586 during the explorations. This test and sampling method consists of driving
a standard 2-inch, outside-diameter, split-barrel sampler a distance of 18 inches into the
soil with a 140-pound hammer free-falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows
for each 6-inch interval is recorded and the number of blows required to drive the
sampler the final 12 inches is known as the Standard Penetration Resistance (“Nâ€) or
blow count. If a total of 50 is recorded within one 6-inch interval, the blow count is
recorded as the number of blows for the corresponding number of inches of penetration.
The resistance, or N-value, provides a measure of the relative density of granular soils
or the relative consistency of cohesive soils; these values are reported on the attached
boring logs.
The on-site subsurface soils generally consisted of approximately 6 to 9 inches of topsoil
over 1 to 3 feet of orange tan weathered glacial outwash over native sand and gravel
outwash to the base of all explorations. Blow counts from SPT sampling generally
indicated medium dense soils within the weathered outwash.
The thickness of the orange tan weathered glacial outwash varied significantly between
explorations and occasionally within an exploration. We anticipate the thicker portions of
the weathered glacial outwash are related to the locations of removed tree root balls.
Native glacial outwash within the upper approximately 20 feet of soil consisted of very
gravelly sand to very sandy gravel. Blow counts from SPT sampling generally indicated
dense to very dense soils at depth. In several of the test pit explorations, surficial
outwash appeared to consist of alternating sand and gravel layers. Glacial outwash
below approximately 20 feet BGS became significantly less gravelly.
The approximate locations of the explorations are shown on the Site and Exploration
Plan, Figure 2. Please refer to the attached logs at the end of this report for more detail
at specific locations.
Groundwater
At the time of our subsurface investigation in March of 2014, no groundwater seepage
was encountered within our explorations. A thin red mottled horizon, potentially
indicative of a high groundwater elevation, was noted at a depth of 35.5 feet BGS in
exploration B-4. Our explorations occurred in late winter and are likely at or near
seasonal groundwater elevations.
The groundwater conditions reported on the exploration logs are for the specific
locations and dates indicated, and therefore may not necessarily be indicative of other
locations and/or times. Groundwater levels are not static and it is anticipated that
groundwater conditions will vary depending on local subsurface conditions, season,
precipitation, changes in land use both on and off site, and other factors.
Liquefaction Hazard Potential
Based on the online interactive Geologic Map of Washington State, published by the
Washington State Department of Natural Resources, the subject site is rated as a low to
moderate liquefaction susceptibility area. However, this map only provides an estimate
Page 3 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
of the likelihood that soil will liquefy as a result of earthquake shaking and is meant as a
general guide to delineate areas prone to liquefaction.
Based on our field exploration, the subject site has a low liquefaction susceptibility
during an earthquake under developed conditions due to the relative density and the
depth to groundwater. Near-surface conditions at the site typically consists of medium
dense to dense glacial outwash deposits (generally gravelly sand with relatively low
amounts of silt).
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the subsurface soil conditions observed at the site, it is our opinion that
subsurface conditions at the site are suitable for the proposed construction, provided the
recommendations contained herein are incorporated into the project design.
Soil conditions observed in the explorations located within the areas of proposed
improvements consist of medium dense to very dense glacial outwash deposits with
variable, but generally low, silt contents. For the proposed structure, foundation support
may be provided by continuous or isolated spread footings founded on firm native soil or
properly prepared and compacted structural fill placed directly over undisturbed native
soil to promote uniform support of foundation elements.
Site Preparation and Earthwork
The portions of the site to be occupied by foundations, slabs-on-grade floors, pavement,
or sidewalks should be prepared by removing any existing topsoil, debris, significant
accumulations of organics, or loose native soil from the area to be developed. Prior to
placement of any structural fill, the exposed subgrade under all areas to be occupied by
soil-supported foundations, floor slabs, or pavements should be recompacted to a firm
and unyielding condition and proof rolled with a loaded dump truck, large self-propelled
vibrating roller, or equivalent piece of equipment applicable to the size of the excavation.
The purpose of this effort is to identify possible loose or soft soil deposits and recompact
the soil exposed during site preparation and excavation activities.
Proof rolling should be carefully observed by qualified geotechnical personnel. Areas
exhibiting significant deflection, pumping, or are over optimum moisture contents cannot
be readily compacted should be overexcavated to firm soil. Overexcavated areas
should be backfilled with compacted granular material placed in accordance with
subsequent recommendations for structural fill. During periods of wet weather, proof
rolling could damage the exposed subgrade. Under these conditions, qualified
geotechnical personnel should observe subgrade conditions to determine if proof rolling
is feasible.
Fill and Compaction
Structural fill used to obtain final elevations for foundations must be properly placed and
compacted. In general, any suitable, non-organic, predominantly granular soil may be
used for fill material provided the material is properly moisture conditioned prior to
placement and compaction, and the specified degree of compaction is obtained.

GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
Reuse of Onsite Soil
Native site soils in the upper 2 to 4 feet have somewhat variable, but slightly elevated,
“fines†contents (percent passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve). Soils 2 to 4 feet below
existing site grades, however, generally had low fines contents. Soils containing more
than approximately 5 percent “fines†are considered moisture sensitive, and are very
difficult to compact to a firm and unyielding condition when over the optimum moisture
content by more than approximately 2 percent. The optimum moisture content is that
which allows the greatest dry density to be achieved at a given level of compactive
effort.
It is our opinion that the near-surface native soil is suitable for re-use as structural fill
when placed at or near optimum moisture contents as determined by ASTM D1557 and
if allowed for in the project plans and specifications. It should be noted that organic
topsoils were encountered in our explorations and that materials with elevated levels of
organics cannot be reused as structural fill and should be segregated from mineral soils.
Imported Structural Fill
We recommend that imported structural fill consist of clean, well-graded sandy gravel,
gravelly sand, or other approved naturally occurring granular material (pit run) with at
least 30 percent retained on the No. 4 sieve, or a well-graded crushed rock. Structural
fill for dry weather construction may contain on the order of 10% fines (that portion
passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve) based on the portion passing the U.S. No. 4 sieve. Soil
containing more than about 5 percent fines cannot consistently be compacted to a
dense, non-yielding condition when the water content is greater than optimum.
Accordingly, we recommend that imported structural fill with less than 5% fines be used
during wet weather conditions. Due to wet weather or wet site conditions, soil moisture
contents could be high enough that it may be very difficult to compact even “cleanâ€
imported select granular fill to a firm and unyielding condition. Soils with over-optimum
moisture contents should be either scarified and dried back to more suitable moisture
contents during periods of dry weather or removed and replaced with fill soils at a more
suitable range of moisture contents.
Compaction of Structural Fill
Structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts 8 to 10 inches in loose thickness and
thoroughly compacted. All structural fill placed under load bearing areas should be
compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined using test
method ASTM D1557. The top of the compacted structural fill should extend outside all
foundations and other structural improvements a minimum distance equal to the
thickness of the fill. We recommend that compaction be tested periodically throughout
the fill placement.
Wet Weather Earthwork
It is our experience that the near-surface native soil is more susceptible to degradation
during wet weather. As a result, it may be difficult to control the moisture content of the
site soils during the wet season. If construction is accomplished during wet weather, we
recommend that structural fill consist of imported, clean, well-graded sand or sand and
Page 5 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
gravel as described above. If fill is to be placed or earthwork is to be performed in wet
weather or under wet conditions, the contractor may reduce soil disturbance by:
• Limiting the size of areas that are stripped of topsoil and left exposed
• Accomplishing earthwork in small sections
• Limiting construction traffic over unprotected soil
• Sloping excavated surfaces to promote runoff
• Limiting the size and type of construction equipment used
• Providing gravel "working mats†over areas of prepared subgrade
• Removing wet surficial soil prior to commencing fill placement each day
• Sealing the exposed ground surface by rolling with a smooth drum compactor or
rubber-tired roller at the end of each working day
• Providing upgradient perimeter ditches or low earthen berms and using
temporary sumps to collect runoff and prevent water from ponding and damaging
exposed subgrades.
Seismic Design Considerations
The Pacific Northwest is seismically active and the site could be subject to ground
shaking from a moderate to major earthquake. Consequently, moderate levels of
earthquake shaking should be anticipated during the design life of the project, and the
proposed structure should be designed to resist earthquake loading using appropriate
design methodology.
Site Class Definition
For structures designed using the seismic design provisions of the 2012 International
Building Code, the underlying alluvial soils interpreted to underlie the site within the
upper 100 feet classifies as Site Class D according to 2010 ASCE -7 Standard – Table
20.3-1, Site Class Definitions. The corresponding values for calculating a design
response spectrum for the assumed soil profile type is considered appropriate for the
site.
Please use the following values for seismic structural design purposes:

Foundation Support and Settlement
Foundation support for the proposed improvements may be provided by continuous or
isolated spread footings founded on proof-rolled, undisturbed, medium dense to dense
native soils or on properly compacted structural fill placed directly over undisturbed
native soil. We recommend that qualified geotechnical personnel confirm that suitable
bearing conditions have been reached prior to placement of structural fill or foundation
formwork.
To provide proper foundation support, we recommend that existing topsoil, existing fill,
and/or loose upper portions of the native soil be removed from beneath the building
foundation area(s) or replaced with properly compacted structural fill as described
elsewhere in this report. Alternatively, localized overexcavation could be backfilled to
the design footing elevation with lean concrete or foundations may be extended to bear
on undisturbed native soil. In areas requiring overexcavation to competent native soil,
the limits of the overexcavation should extend laterally beyond the edge of each side of
the footing a distance equal to the depth of the excavation below the base of the footing.
If lean concrete is used to backfill the overexcavation, the limits of the overexcavation
need only extend a nominal distance beyond the width of the footing. In addition, we
recommend that foundation elements for the proposed structure(s) bear entirely on
similar soil conditions to help prevent differential settlement from occurring.
Continuous and isolated spread footings should be founded a minimum of 18 inches
below the lowest adjacent final grade for freeze/thaw protection. Perimeter footings
should be at least 14 inches wide and sized in accordance with the structural engineer’s
prescribed design criteria and seismic considerations.
Allowable Bearing Capacity
Assuming the above foundation support criteria are satisfied, continuous or isolated
spread footings founded directly on medium dense to dense native soils or on
compacted structural fill placed directly over undisturbed native soils may be
proportioned using a net allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,500 pounds per square foot
(psf).
The term "net allowable bearing pressure" refers to the pressure that can be imposed on
the soil at foundation level resulting from the total of all dead plus live loads, exclusive of
the weight of the footing or any backfill placed above the footing. The net allowable
bearing pressure may be increased by one-third for transient wind or seismic loads.
Page 7 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
Foundation Settlements
Settlement of shallow foundations depends on foundation size and bearing pressure, as
well as the strength and compressibility characteristics of the underlying soil. Assuming
construction is accomplished as previously recommended and foundations don’t exceed
the maximum allowable soil bearing pressure recommended above, we estimate the
total settlement of building foundations under static conditions should be less than about
one inch and differential settlement between two adjacent load-bearing components
supported on competent soil should be less than about one half the total settlement.
Floor Support
Conventional slab-on-grade floor construction is considered feasible for the planned site
improvements. Floor slabs may be supported on properly prepared native subgrade or
on structural fill placed over properly prepared native soil. New floor slabs should not be
founded on existing pavement sections, topsoil, existing fill, or loose native soils. Prior
to placement of the structural fill, the native soil should be proof-rolled as recommended
in the Site Preparation and Earthwork section of this report.
For design purposes, a vertical modulus of subgrade reaction of 150 pounds per cubic
inch (pci) should be expected for slab-on-grade floors constructed over properly
prepared medium dense to dense native soils or structural fill placed over native soil.
The planned use of the building will likely require large open sections of concrete that
will be more susceptible to differential settlements and cracking than shorter, more
conventional sections of concrete. As such, GTS recommends that the structural
engineer review the design and determine if additional precautions are warranted to
prevent excessive cracking of floor slabs by placing grade beams, extra reinforcement,
or similar mitigation techniques.
We recommend that interior concrete slab-on-grade floors be underlain by a minimum of
6 inches of compacted, clean, free-draining gravel with less than 5 percent passing the
U.S. Standard No. 200 sieve (based on a wet sieve analysis of that portion passing the
U.S. Standard No. 4 sieve). The purpose of this layer is to provide uniform support for
the slab, provide a capillary break, and act as a drainage layer. To help reduce the
potential for water vapor migration through floor slabs, at a minimum a continuous
impermeable membrane of 6- to 10-mil polyethylene sheeting with tape-sealed joints
should be installed below the slab. The American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines
suggest that the slab may either be poured directly on the vapor retarding membrane or
on a granular curing layer placed over the vapor retarding membrane depending on
conditions anticipated during construction. We recommend that the architect or
structural engineer specify if a curing layer should be used. If moisture control within the
building is critical, we recommend an inspection of the vapor retarding membrane to
verify that all openings have been properly sealed.
Exterior concrete slabs-on-grade, such as sidewalks, may be supported directly on
undisturbed native or on properly placed and compacted structural fill; however, long-
term performance will be enhanced if exterior slabs are placed on a layer of clean,
durable, well-draining granular material.

Foundation and Site Drainage
To reduce the potential for groundwater and surface water to seep into interior spaces
we recommend that an exterior footing drain system be constructed around the
perimeter of new building foundations as shown in the Typical Footing and Wall Drain
Section, Figure 3. The drain should consist of a minimum 4-inch diameter perforated
pipe, surrounded by a minimum 12 inches of filtering media with the discharge sloped to
carry water to a suitable collection system. The filtering media may consist of open-
graded drain rock wrapped by a nonwoven geotextile fabric (such as Mirafi 140N or
equivalent) or a graded sand and gravel filter. The drainage backfill should be carried up
the back of the wall to within approximately 1 foot of the ground surface and contain less
than 3 percent by weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 sieve (based on a wet sieve
analysis of that portion passing the U.S. Standard No. 4 sieve). The invert of the footing
drain pipe should be placed at approximately the same elevation as the bottom of the
footing or 12 inches below the adjacent floor slab grade, whichever is deeper, so that
water will not seep through walls or floor slabs. The footing drain should discharge to an
approved drain system and include cleanouts to allow periodic maintenance and
inspection.
Positive surface gradients should be provided adjacent to the proposed building to direct
surface water away from the foundation and toward suitable discharge facilities. Roof
drainage should not be introduced into the perimeter footing drains, but should be
separately discharged directly to the stormwater collection system or other appropriate
outlet at a suitable distance away from the structure. Pavement and sidewalk areas
should be sloped and drainage gradients should be maintained to carry all surface water
away from the building towards the local stormwater collection system. Surface water
should not be allowed to pond and soak into the ground surface near buildings or paved
areas during or after construction. Construction excavations should be sloped to drain to
sumps where water from seepage, rainfall, and runoff can be collected and pumped to a
suitable discharge facility.
Resistance to Lateral Loads
The lateral earth pressures that develop against retaining walls will depend on the
method of backfill placement, degree of compaction, slope of backfill, type of backfill
material, provisions for drainage, magnitude and location of any adjacent surcharge
loads, and the degree to which the wall can yield laterally during or after placement of
backfill. If the wall is allowed to rotate or yield so the top of the wall moves an amount
equal to or greater than about 0.001 to 0.002 times its height (a yielding wall), the soil
pressure exerted will be the active soil pressure. When a wall is restrained against
lateral movement or tilting (a nonyielding wall), the soil pressure exerted is the at-rest
soil pressure. Wall restraint may develop if a rigid structural network is constructed prior
to backfilling or if the wall is inherently stiff.
We recommend that yielding walls under drained conditions be designed for an
equivalent fluid density of 35 pounds per cubic ft (pcf) for structural fill in active soil
conditions. Nonyielding walls under drained conditions should be designed for an
equivalent fluid density of 55 pcf for structural fill in at-rest conditions. Design of walls
should include appropriate lateral pressures caused by surcharge loads located within a
horizontal distance equal to or less than the height of the wall. For uniform surcharge
pressures, a uniformly distributed lateral pressure equal to 35 percent and 50 percent of
Page 9 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
the vertical surcharge pressure should be added to the lateral soil pressures for yielding
and nonyielding walls, respectively.
Passive earth pressures developed against the sides of building foundations, in
conjunction with friction developed between the base of the footings and the supporting
subgrade, will resist lateral loads transmitted from the structure to its foundation. For
design purposes, the passive resistance of well-compacted fill placed against the sides
of foundations may be considered equivalent to a fluid with a density of 250 pounds per
cubic ft. The recommended value includes a safety factor of about 1.5 and is based on
the assumption that the ground surface adjacent to the structure is level in the direction
of movement for a distance equal to or greater than twice the embedment depth. The
recommended value also assumes drained conditions that will prevent the buildup of
hydrostatic pressure in the compacted fill. Retaining walls should include a drain system
constructed in general accordance with the recommendations presented in the
Foundation and Site Drainage section of this report. In design computations, the upper
12 inches of passive resistance should be neglected if the soil is not covered by floor
slabs or pavement. If future plans call for the removal of the soil providing resistance,
the passive resistance should not be considered.
An allowable coefficient of base friction of 0.30, applied to vertical dead loads only, may
be used between the underlying imported granular structural fill and the base of the
footing. If passive and frictional resistance are considered together, one half the
recommended passive soil resistance value should be used since larger strains are
required to mobilize the passive soil resistance as compared to frictional resistance. A
safety factor of about 1.5 is included in the base friction design value. We do not
recommend increasing the coefficient of friction to resist seismic or wind loads.
Utilities
It is important that utility trenches be properly backfilled and compacted to minimize the
possibility of cracking or localized loss of foundation, slab, or pavement support. It is
anticipated that excavations for new underground utilities will be in medium dense glacial
outwash deposits. Groundwater was not encountered during our subsurface
explorations and is not expected to be encountered in typical utility trenches.
Trench backfill should consist of structural fill as defined earlier in this report. Trench
backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with the report section
Compaction of Structural Fill.
Temporary excavations in excess of 4 ft should be shored or sloped in accordance with
Safety Standards for Construction Work Part N, WAC 296-155-657. Temporary
unsupported excavations in the medium dense granular soils generally encountered in
our exploration are classified as a Type C soil according to WAC 296-155-657 and may
be sloped as steep as 1½H:1V. Flatter slopes or temporary shoring may be required in
areas where groundwater seepage is present and unstable conditions develop.
Surcharge loads on trench support systems due to construction equipment, stockpiled
material, and vehicle traffic should be included in the design of any anticipated shoring
system. The contractor should implement measures to prevent surface water runoff
from entering trenches and excavations. In addition, vibration as a result of construction
activities and traffic may cause caving of the trench walls.
Page 10 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
Actual trench configurations should be the responsibility of the contractor. All applicable
local, state, and federal safety codes shall be followed. All open cuts should be
monitored by the contractor during excavation for any evidence of instability. If instability
is detected, the contractor should flatten the side slopes or install temporary shoring. If
groundwater or groundwater seepage is present, and the trench is not properly
dewatered, the soil within the trench zone may be prone to caving, channeling, and
running. Trench widths may be substantially wider than under dewatered conditions.
Pavement Subgrade Preparation
Selection of a pavement section is typically a choice relative to higher initial cost and
lower long term maintenance or lower initial cost, with potentially less time before an
overlay or other maintenance. For this reason, we recommend that the owner
participate in the selection of proposed pavement improvements planned for the site.
Site grading plans should include provisions for sloping of the subgrade soils in
proposed pavement areas, so that passive drainage of the pavement section(s) can
proceed uninterrupted during the life of the project.
Structural fill placed to establish subgrade elevation should be compacted to a minimum
of 95 percent of its maximum dry density, as determined using test method ASTM
D1557. Prior to the placement of base-course and paving materials, the exposed
pavement should be proof rolled. Proof rolling should be accomplished with a loaded
dump truck, large self-propelled vibrating roller, or equivalent piece of equipment. The
purpose of this effort is to identify possible loose or soft soil and recompact disturbed
areas of subgrade.
Proof rolling should be carefully observed by GeoTest personnel. Areas exhibiting
significant deflection, pumping, or over-optimum moisture content soils that cannot be
readily compacted should be overexcavated to firm soil. Overexcavated areas should
be backfilled with compacted granular fill. During periods of wet weather, proof rolling
could damage the exposed subgrade. Under these conditions, GeoTest personnel
should observe subgrade conditions to determine if proof rolling is feasible. Prevention
of road-base saturation is essential for pavement durability; thus, efforts should be made
to limit the amount of water entering the base course.
Flexible Pavement Sections – Light Duty
We anticipate that asphalt pavement will be used for new access drives and parking
areas. We recommend a standard, or “light dutyâ€, pavement section consist of 2.5
inches of Class ½-inch HMA asphalt above 6 inches of crushed surfacing base course
(CSBC) meeting criteria set forth in the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) Standard Specification 9-03.9[3].
Depending on construction staging and desired performance, CSBC material may be
substituted with asphalt treated base (ATB) beneath the final asphalt surfacing. The
substitution of ATB should be as follows: 6 inches of crushed rock can be substituted
with 4 inches of ATB. ATB should be placed over a subgrade compacted to at least 95
percent of the relative density, and a 1½- to 2-inch thickness of crushed rock to act as a
working surface. If ATB is used for construction access and staging areas, some rutting
and disturbance of the ATB surface should be expected. The general contractor should
Page 11 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
remove affected areas and replace them with properly compacted ATB prior to final
surfacing.
Flexible Pavement Sections – Heavy Duty
Areas that will be accessed by large trucks, buses, garbage trucks, or other heavy
vehicles will require a thicker asphalt section and should be designed using a paving
section consisting 4 inches of Class ½-inch HMA asphalt surfacing above 8 inches of
CSBC meeting criteria set forth in the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) Standard Specification 9-03.9[3]. As this is a trucking facility and higher loads
are anticipated, GTS also recommends that strong woven geotextile fabric (such as
Mirafi 500X) or a geogrid (such as Mirafi 2XT) be considered at the existing native
soil/CSBC contact. Whereas the geotextile fabric/geogrid is not mandatory, it is our
opinion that the fabric/grid will extend the life of the asphalt pavement. Asphalt
pavements should be founded above a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent of the
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D1557.
Depending on construction staging and desired performance, CSBC material may be
substituted with ATB beneath the final asphalt surfacing. The substitution of ATB should
be as follows: 6 inches of crushed rock can be substituted with 4 inches of ATB. ATB
should be placed over a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent of the relative
density, and a 1½- to 2-inch thickness of crushed rock to act as a working surface. If
ATB is used for construction access and staging areas, some rutting and disturbance of
the ATB surface should be expected. The general contractor should remove affected
areas and replace them with properly compacted ATB prior to final surfacing.
Concrete Pavement Sections
Concrete pavements could be used for access and parking areas. The design of
concrete drives that will support heavy vehicles should be designed by the structural
engineer. Design of concrete pavements is a function of concrete strength,
reinforcement steel, and the anticipated loading conditions for the roads. For design
purposes, a vertical modulus of subgrade reaction of 150 pounds per cubic inch (pci)
should be expected for concrete roadways constructed over properly prepared medium
dense to dense native soil, or properly placed and compacted structural fill. GTS
expects that concrete pavement sections, if utilized, will be at least 6 inches thick and be
founded on a minimum of 8 inches of compacted CSBC. It is assumed that pavement
and CSBC sections will be placed over a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent of
ASTM D1557.
Concrete Sidewalks and Hardscapes
We recommend a concrete sidewalk and hardscape section consisting of at least 4
inches of concrete above a minimum of 4 inches of CSBC. It is assumed that sidewalks
and hardscape sections will be placed over a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent
of ASTM D1557.

TEST PIT GRADATION RESULTS
From the explorations excavated in the areas of interest, seven near-surface soil
samples were selected and mechanically tested for grain size distribution and
interpretation according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil
textural classification. Subsurface infiltration rates corresponding to the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil textural classification were obtained from the
2005 Washington State Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for
Western Washington, Table 3.7 and are reproduced in Table 1 below.
TABLE 1
Test Pit Soil Sample Infiltration Rates
Based On The 2005 DOE Stormwater Management Manual Table 3.7
Test Pit Sample Classification Cation Exchange Infiltration Rate
Number Depth (ft) USDA Capacity (meg/100 g) (Inches/Hour)
TP-02 1.25 Loamy Sand 9.9 0.5
TP-02 3.0 Sand 3.9 2.0
TP-06 1.0 Loamy Sand NT 0.5
TP-06 2.0 Sand NT 2.0
TP-06 5.0 Sand NT 2.0
TP-08 1.0 Sand 6.2 2.0
TP-08 2.5 Sand 2.5 2.0
Note: Listed infiltration rates are long-term (design) rates as stated in Table 3.7.
NT: Not Tested
Based on the results of our USDA textural analysis and our interpretation of our soil logs,
infiltration into the near surface glacial outwash generally correlates to a long-term
infiltration rate of about 2 inches per hour. Locally, silty soils may be present at or near
the existing ground surface that have the potential to reduce infiltration rates. Therefore,
it is recommended that infiltration facilities penetrate into the more granular and free
draining glacial outwash if 2 inches per hour is to be used for the purposes of design.
GTS recommends that we be allowed to view the bottom of infiltration facilities during
construction to confirm that the soil type and consistency is as anticipated.
Alternative means of stormwater management utilizing LID (low impact development)
systems, such as pervious pavements and/or raingardens, may be feasible at the project
site. In order to fully address stormwater management and/or the infiltration of
stormwater, additional studies may be required. The placement of infiltration facilities
may be different in final design than what was provided to us for our current studies. As
such, GTS is available to assist with additional studies should they be required.

Geotechnical Consultation and Construction Monitoring
GeoTest Services recommends that a geotechnical engineer familiar with the project
design review the earthwork and foundation portions of the design drawings and
specifications. The purpose of the review is to verify that the recommendations
presented in this report have been properly interpreted and incorporated in the design
and specifications.
We recommend that geotechnical construction monitoring services be provided. These
services should include observation by geotechnical personnel during fill
placement/compaction activities and subgrade preparation operations to verify that
design subgrade conditions are obtained beneath the proposed building. We also
recommend that periodic field density testing be performed to verify that the appropriate
degree of compaction is obtained. The purpose of these services would be to observe
compliance with the design concepts, specifications, and recommendations of this
report, and in the event subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated before the
start of construction, provide revised recommendations appropriate to the conditions
revealed during construction. GeoTest Services would be pleased to provide these
services for you.
GeoTest Services is also available to provide a full range of materials testing and special
inspection during construction as required by the local building department and the
International Building Code. This may include specific construction inspections on
materials such as reinforced concrete, reinforced masonry, structural steel and other
inspections. These services are supported by our fully accredited materials testing
laboratory.
USE OF THIS REPORT
GeoTest Services has prepared this report for the exclusive use of Smokey Point
Distributing , Inc. and their design consultants for specific application to the design of the
proposed Smokey Point Distributing Expansion. Use of this report by others or for
another project is at the user’s sole risk. Within the limitations of scope, schedule, and
budget, our services have been conducted in accordance with generally accepted
practices of the geotechnical engineering profession; no other warranty, either
expressed or implied, is made as to the professional advice included in this report.
Our site explorations indicate subsurface conditions at the dates and locations indicated.
It is not warranted that they are representative of subsurface conditions at other
locations and times. The analyses, conclusions, and recommendations contained in this
report are based on site conditions to the limited depth of our explorations at the time of
our exploration program, a brief geological reconnaissance of the area, and review of
published geological information for the site. We assume that the explorations are
representative of the subsurface conditions throughout the site during the preparation of
our recommendations. If variations in subsurface conditions are encountered during
construction, we should be notified for review of the recommendations of this report, and
revision of such if necessary. If there is a substantial lapse of time between submission
of this report and the start of construction, or if conditions change due to construction
operations at or adjacent to the project site, we recommend that we review this report to
determine the applicability of the conclusions and recommendations contained herein.

Notes: 1. Soil descriptions are based on the general approach presented in the Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure),
as outlined in ASTM D 2488. Where laboratory index testing has been conducted, soil classifications are based on the Standard Test Method for Classification
of Soils for Engineering Purposes, as outlined in ASTM D 2487.
2. Soil description terminology is based on visual estimates (in the absence of laboratory test data) of the percentages of each soil type and is defined
as follows:
Primary Constituent: > 50% - "GRAVEL," "SAND," "SILT," "CLAY," etc.
Secondary Constituents: > 30% and <_ 50% - "very gravelly," "very sandy," "very silty," etc.
> 12% and <_ 30% - "gravelly," "sandy," "silty," etc.
Additional Constituents: > 5% and <_ 12% - "slightly gravelly," "slightly sandy," "slightly silty," etc.
<_ 5% - "trace gravel," "trace sand," "trace silt," etc., or not noted.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They
highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about
the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many
different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners,
community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also,
conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal,
and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance
the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties
that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information
is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on
various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying
with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases.
Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/
nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For
more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (http://
offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic
tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or
underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department
of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural
Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil
Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous areas
in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and
their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations
affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of
the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and
the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is
the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the
surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the
surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other
living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas
(MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share
common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources,
soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically
consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is
related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area.
Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of
landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous
areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the
landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus,
during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable
degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the
landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by
an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify
predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to
identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of
soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have
similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique
combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of
the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes
the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and
landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of
resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is
needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and
experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-
landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific
locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of
measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These
measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to
bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of
sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from
one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret
the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics
and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different
uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils
in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are
modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet
local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information,
production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop
yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from
field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such
variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long
periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil
scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have
a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a
high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields,
roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils
or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the
maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape,
however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability
of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend
beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic
class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic
classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas
for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes
other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally
are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used.
Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified
by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the
contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with
some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been
observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially
where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations
to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness
or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic
classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments
on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If
10
Custom Soil Resource Report
intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to
define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each
description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties
and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons
that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity,
degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such
differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the
detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly
indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0
to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The
pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all
areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or
anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical
or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and
relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-
Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that
could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of
the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be
made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up
of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material
and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Introduction
The project is generally located in the northwest quarter of Section 15, Township 31 North,
Range 05 East of the Willamette Meridian. More specifically the site is located North of 188th
Street on 63rd Ave NE. The parcel numbers for the site are 31051500400300,
31051500400400, and 31051500401500. The current use of the site is 910 Undeveloped
(Vacant) Land and is 15.97 acres and contains 100% of low growing vegetation. The site is
generally flat with less than 3% slope and consists of loamy sand type soils. There are no known
wetlands on-site or in the adjacent areas.
The proposed project mainly consists of slight grading and vegetation removal and the
construction of a new 58,656 sf. building, parking lots, access roads, permeable gravel
parking/storage areas, and associated utilities. Note that the proposed building will have a roof
area of 63,968 sf. The new asphalt entrance along the west side of the site will provide access
to the east side of 63rd Ave NE.
Water is to be provided by a new water main bisecting the property from 63rd Ave NE to 66th
Ave NE. Sewer is to be provided by a new stub-out extending from the existing main located
along the east side of 63rd Ave NE.
All stormwater runoff is to be treated prior to flow control through either a WSDOT Media
Filter, 5 BayFilters, or 18†of loamy sand that meets treatment specifications. Flow control
facilities consist of large infiltration trenches. Refer to Minimum Requirements #6-7 for further
drainage information.
Note that the building is permitted per Land Used Code, Table of Permissible Uses Section
10.400 General Industrial.

Minimum Requirement #1 Preparation of Stormwater Site Plans
Stormwater Site Plans are being prepared in accordance with Volume I of the Department of
Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington as part of this project. The
plans are prepared as part of the Land Use Permit submittal for the City of Arlington.
Minimum Requirement #2 Construction Stormwater Pollution
Prevention
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan has been created for this project. This project does not
meet the requirements that warrant an NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit because it does
not discharge to waters of the state. All of the stormwater generated by the construction site
will be infiltrated on the site. The 12 BMP Elements have been addressed in this report and in
the SWPP plan.
The 12 BMP Elements
Element #1 – Mark Clearing Limits
To protect adjacent properties and to reduce the area of soil exposed to construction, the limits
of construction will be clearly marked before land-disturbing activities begin. Trees that are to
be preserved, as well as all sensitive areas and their buffers, shall be clearly delineated, both in
the field and on the plans. In general, natural vegetation and native topsoil shall be retained in
an undisturbed state to the maximum extent possible. The BMPs relevant to marking the
clearing limits that will be applied for this project include:
BMP C103: High Visibility Plastic or Metal Fence:
The clearing limits will be marked only by property boundary stakes. If entrances other
than the construction entrance are used and need to be limited, high visibility or
construction fencing will be used.
Element #2 – Establish Construction Access
Construction access or activities occurring on unpaved areas shall be minimized, yet where
necessary, access points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public
roads, and wheel washing, street sweeping, and street cleaning shall be employed to prevent
sediment from entering state waters. All wash wastewater shall be controlled on site. The
specific BMPs related to establishing construction access that will be used on this project
include:
BMP C105: Stabilize Construction Entrance
Element #3 – Control Flow Rates
Flow control will be achieved by infiltrating all stormwater on the site. There will be no runoff
leaving the site during storm events.
Page | 7
Element #4 – Install Sediment Controls
Stormwater runoff is not anticipated to leave the site. Sediment controls will be installed on
the site to protect the existing and proposed infiltration facilities. All stormwater runoff from
disturbed areas shall pass through an appropriate sediment removal BMP before leaving the
construction site or prior to being discharged to an infiltration facility. The specific BMPs to be
used for controlling sediment on this project include:
BMP C220: Storm Drain Inlet Protection
BMP C233: Silt Fence
Element #5 – Stabilize Soils
Exposed and unworked soils shall be stabilized with the application of effective BMPs to
prevent erosion throughout the life of the project. The specific BMPs for soil stabilization that
shall be used on this project include:
BMP C120: Temporary and Permanent Seeding
BMP C121: Mulching
Element #6 – Protect Slopes
All cut and fill slopes will be designed, constructed, and protected in a manner than minimizes
erosion. The slopes on the site in the existing and proposed condition are minimal therefore
BMPs for slope protection are not necessary.
Element #7 – Protect Drain Inlets
All storm drain inlets and culverts made operable during construction shall be protected to
prevent unfiltered or untreated water from entering the drainage conveyance system.
However, the first priority is to keep all access roads clean of sediment and keep street wash
water separate from entering storm drains until treatment can be provided. Storm Drain Inlet
Protection (BMP C220) will be implemented for all drainage inlets and culverts that could
potentially be impacted by sediment-laden runoff on and near the project site. The following
inlet protection measures will be applied on this project:
BMP C201: Grass-Lined Channels
BMP C220: Storm Drain Inlet Protection
Element #8 – Stabilize Channels and Outlets
The site will not produce runoff that will be conveyed in channels, or discharged to a stream or
some other natural drainage point.
Element #9 – Control Pollutants
All pollutants, including waste materials and demolition debris, that occur onsite shall be
handled and disposed of in a manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater. Good
Page | 8
housekeeping and preventative measures will be taken to ensure that the site will be kept
clean, well-organized, and free of debris. If required, BMPs to be implemented to control
specific sources of pollutants are discussed below.
The facility does not require a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan under
the Federal regulations of the Clean Water Act (CWA).
Element #10 – Control Dewatering
There will be no dewatering as part of this construction project.
Element #11 – Maintain BMPs
All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be maintained and
repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. Maintenance
and repair shall be conducted in accordance with each particular BMPs specifications
(attached). Visual monitoring of the BMPs will be conducted at least once every calendar week
and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the site. If the site
becomes inactive, and is temporarily stabilized, the inspection frequency will be reduced to
once every month.
All temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after the
final site stabilization is achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed. Trapped
sediment shall be removed or stabilized on site. Disturbed soil resulting from removal of BMPs
or vegetation shall be permanently stabilized.
Element #12 – Manage the Project
Erosion and sediment control BMPs for this project have been designed based on the following
principles:
ï‚§ The site has been designed so that the project fits the existing topography,
soils, and drainage patterns.
ï‚§ Erosion control is emphasized rather than sediment control.
ï‚§ The project is being phased in order to minimize the extent and duration of
the area exposed.
ï‚§ Runoff velocities are kept low due to the slope of the site. No runoff will
leave the site.
ï‚§ Sediment will be retained on site.
ï‚§ ESC measures will be thoroughly monitored throughout the duration of the
project.
ï‚§ Most of the earthwork will be scheduled during the dry season however due
to the low erosive nature of the soils winter grading is not expected to create
an additional erosion problem.
In addition, project management will incorporate the key components listed below:
Page | 9
As this project site is located west of the Cascade Mountain Crest, the project will be managed
according to the following key project components:
Phasing of Construction
ï‚§ The construction project is being phased to the extent practicable in
order to prevent soil erosion, and, to the maximum extent possible, the
transport of sediment from the site during construction.
ï‚§ Re-vegetation of exposed areas and maintenance of that vegetation shall
be an integral part of the clearing activities during each phase of
construction, per the Scheduling BMP (C 162).
Seasonal Work Limitations
ï‚§ Since the site is expected to have 100 percent infiltration of surface water
runoff within the site in approved and installed erosion and sediment
control facilities. It is not necessary to limit the work to a seasonal
window.
Coordination with Utilities and Other Jurisdictions
ï‚§ Care has been taken to coordinate with utilities, other construction
projects, and the local jurisdiction in preparing this SWPPP and
scheduling the construction work.
Inspection and Monitoring
ï‚§ All BMPs shall be inspected, maintained, and repaired as needed to
assure continued performance of their intended function. Site
inspections shall be conducted by a person who is knowledgeable in the
principles and practices of erosion and sediment control. This person has
the necessary skills to:
• Assess the site conditions and construction activities that could impact
the quality of stormwater, and
• Assess the effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures used
to control the quality of stormwater discharges.
ï‚§ A Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead shall be on-site or on-call
at all times.
ï‚§ Whenever inspection and/or monitoring reveals that the BMPs identified
in this SWPPP are inadequate, due to the actual discharge of or potential
to discharge a significant amount of any pollutant, appropriate BMPs or
design changes shall be implemented as soon as possible.
Maintaining an Updated Construction SWPPP
ï‚§ This SWPPP shall be retained on-site or within reasonable access to the
site.
Page | 10
ï‚§ The SWPPP shall be modified whenever there is a change in the design,
construction, operation, or maintenance at the construction site that has,
or could have, a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants to waters
of the state.
ï‚§ The SWPPP shall be modified if, during inspections or investigations
conducted by the owner/operator, or the applicable local or state
regulatory authority, it is determined that the SWPPP is ineffective in
eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in stormwater
discharges from the site. The SWPPP shall be modified as necessary to
include additional or modified BMPs designed to correct problems
identified. Revisions to the SWPPP shall be completed within seven (7)
days following the inspection.
Page | 11
Minimum Requirement #3 Source Control of Pollution
All known, available and reasonable source control BMPs shall be applied to this project. BMPs
will be used to prevent stormwater from coming into contract with pollutants.
Owner will assign one individuals to be responsible for stormwater pollution control. Hold
regular meetings to review the overall operation of the BMPs. The owner will establish
responsibilities for inspections, operation and maintenance, and availability for emergency
situations.
Owner agrees to train all team members in the operation, maintenance and inspections of
BMPs, and reporting procedures.
Owner agrees to promptly contain and clean up solid and liquid pollutant leaks and spills
including oils, solvents, fuels, and dust from manufacturing operations on any exposed soil,
vegetation, or paved area.
Owner agrees to sweep paved material handling and storage areas regularly as needed, for the
collection and disposal of dust and debris that could contaminate stormwater. Owner agrees to
not hose down pollutants from any area to the ground, storm drain, conveyance ditch, or
receiving water unless necessary for dust control purposes to meet air quality regulations and
unless the pollutants are conveyed to a treatment system approved by the local jurisdiction.
Owner agrees to clean oils, debris, sludge, etc. from all BMP systems regularly, including catch
basins, settling/detention basins, oil/water separators, boomed areas, and conveyance

Minimum Requirement #4 Preservation of Natural Drainage System and
Outfalls
The proposed grading project will not alter the existing drainage system or outfalls.
Existing Drainage
The existing 15.97 acre site is undeveloped and is covered mostly in low growing vegetation. All
of the existing drainage infiltrates onsite and does not discharge to waters of the state. This
project will preserve the natural drainage system and outfalls by using infiltration for
stormwater management.
Soil
The existing soils consist of Everett Gravelly Sandy Loam 0-8 percent slopes per the National
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey of Snohomish County, see Appendix F. The
physical and chemical properties of the soil are listed in the Soil Report in Appendix F.
Additionally, a geo-technical report has been completed by Geotest, Inc., which correlates with
NRCS and provides further insight to the type of soils at deeper depths and the location of the
water table. Per geo-technical report the sub-surface soils generally consist of 6 to 9 inches of
topsoil over 1 to 3 feet of orange tan weathered glacial outwash over native sand and gravel
outwash. Note that per geo-technical report groundwater was not encounter. For further soil
descriptions and information refer to the geo-technical report in Appendix E.
Downstream Analysis
The existing site infiltrates onsite therefore a downstream analysis was not conducted for the
project.
Minimum Requirement #5 On-Site Stormwater Management
Infiltration will be used on the proposed project site for flow control. In general, the runoff
from the proposed parking and building will flow to infiltration trenches. Runoff from the
permeable gravel parking and access road will flow into the permeable gravel and infiltrate into
the sub-grade below.
Minimum Requirement #6 Runoff Treatment
Runoff treatment for the northwest pavement area is provided by a Type 1 WSDOT Media Filter
(RT.07) along the northern boundary of the site. The WSDOT Media Filter is a linear flow-
through stormwater runoff treatment device that is typically used along highway side slopes,
Page | 13
medians, burrow ditches, and along other linear depressions. The media filter treats total
suspended solids (TSS – Basic), phosphorus, and dissolved metals (Enhanced Treatment).The
west and southwest pavement areas are to be treated by 5 BayFilter’s (TSS –Basic) that are inâ€
line with the stormwater conveyance system. All remaining pollution generating impervious
surfaces are to sheet flow into the permeable gravel and infiltrate through a minimum of 18â€
inches of loamy sand soil that meets the treatment requirements set forth in Section 3.3.7 of
Volume III of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Note all
proposed roofs are to consist of coated metal material and are considered nonâ€pollution
generating surfaces per section 4.1.3 of Volume V from the 2005 Stormwater Management
Manual for Western Washington
For further product and design information refer to Appendix C. Note all water quality facilities
were modeled using WWHM12 with 15â€minute time steps as outlined in Appendix III of Volume
III from the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Minimum Requirement #7 Flow Control
All of the stormwater generated on the project site will be infiltrated onâ€site creating no
downstream runoff.
GeoTest Inc. estimated that the long term infiltration rate of the outwash soils and loamy sand
are 12 & 0.5 in/hr. respectively, refer to geoâ€technical report in Appendix E.
Flow control facilities for this site are separated into three parts, the north infiltration trench,
the south infiltration trench, and the gravel parking/storage permeable ballast area. The north
infiltration trench will control runoff from the pavement and landscape areas located in the
northwest portion of the site and the northern half of the roof. The trench is located along the
northern edge of the site is to be 548’ long, 6.5’ wide, and 3’ deep. The bottom of the
infiltration trench is approximately 7’ below grade and was sized with an infiltration rate of 12
in/hr.
The south infiltration trench will control runoff from the south and southwest parking lots and
landscaping, in addition to the remaining half of the roof runoff. The trench is located under the
southwest parking lot and is to be 138’ long, 40’ wide, and 3’ deep. The bottom of the
infiltration trench is approximately 11’ below grade and was sized with an infiltration rate of 12
in/hr.
All remaining runoff is to sheet flow into the permeable gravel parking/storage area and
infiltrate into the native soils. Note that the gravel is to have a storage depth of approximately
4†and the subâ€grade is to have an infiltration rate of 0.5 in/hr. Additionally, the subâ€grade is to
consist of 18â€inches of loamy sand for water quality.

Note all flow control facilities were modeled using WWHM12 with 1â€hour time steps as
outlined in Appendix III of Volume III from the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual for
Western Washington.

North Trench Water Quality Flow Rate
South Trench Water Quality Flow Rate
Functional Description
The MFD removes suspended solids, phosphorus (MFD without 3-inch medium compost
blanket), and metals from highway runoff through physical straining, ion exchange, carbonate
precipitation, and biofiltration.
Stormwater runoff is conveyed to the MFD via sheet flow or is redispersed to a vegetation-free
gravel zone (MFD Type 1 – Type 5) to ensure dispersion and provide some pollutant trapping.
Next, a grass strip provides pretreatment, further enhancing filtration and extending the life of
the system. The runoff is then filtered through a bed of porous, alkalinity-generating granular
medium—the media filter drain mix. Treated water drains away from the MFD mix bed into a
downstream conveyance system. Geotextile lines the underside of the MFD mix bed and the
underdrain pipe and trench (if applicable).
The underdrain trench is an option for hydraulic conveyance of treated stormwater to a desired
location, such as a downstream flow control facility or stormwater outfall. The trench’s
perforated underdrain pipe is a protective measure to ensure free flow through the MFD mix.
It may be possible to omit the underdrain pipe if it can be demonstrated that the pipe is not
necessary to maintain free flow through the MFD mix and underdrain trench.
It is critical to note that water should sheet flow across or be redispersed to the MFD. To ensure
sediment accumulation does not restrict sheet flow, edge of pavement installations should
include a 1-inch drop between the pavement surface and nonvegetation zone where there is
no guardrail or include a 1-inch drop where there is guardrail. Note that MFD Types 4 through
Type 7 include a 3-inch drop between the flow spreader and the MFD mix bed to ensure sheet
flow continues over time.
Applications, Limitations, and LID Feasibility
Applications
Provides basic, phosphorus (MFD without 3-inch medium compost blanket on MFD
mix area), and enhanced water quality treatment.
MFD Type 1 and Type 3 – Ideal along highway side slopes, when adjacent to wetlands,
and in narrow right of way locations.
Dual MFD for Highway Medians (MFD Type 2) – Prime locations for the MFD Type 2
are in highway medians, roadside drainage or borrow ditches, or other linear
depressions. It is especially critical for water to sheet flow across the MFD Type 2.
Channelized flows or ditch flows running down the middle of the MFD Type 2
(continuous off-site inflow) should be minimized.
MFD Type 4 and Type 5 – Ideal where stormwater needs to be or already is captured
and conveyed to a discharge location that can accommodate this BMP. These options
provide maximum flexibility for placement where sheet flow off the edge of pavement
is not feasible. Catch basins and pipes are used to convey stormwater to the MFD
Type 4 and Type 5.

Introduction
Founded in 1997, BaySaver Technologies, Inc. is a manufacturer of
stormwater treatment technologies. BayFilterâ„¢ (1) is a stormwater filtration device
designed to remove fine sediments, heavy metals, and phosphorus from
stormwater runoff.
BayFilterâ„¢ relies on a spiral wound media filter cartridge with
approximately 43 square feet of active filtration area. The filter cartridges are
housed in a concrete structure that evenly distributes the flow between cartridges.
System design is offline with an external bypass that routes high intensity storms
away from the system to prevent sediment resuspension. Flow through the filter
cartridges is gravity driven and self-regulating, which makes the BayFilterâ„¢
system a low maintenance, high performance stormwater treatment technology.
The BayFilterâ„¢ system has been extensively tested, and has consistently
shown more than 80% removal of suspended sediment from influent water. The
system also demonstrated the capability to remove more than 50% of the total
phosphorus influent load, including a portion of the dissolved phosphorus.
This manual provides detailed technical information on the BayFilterâ„¢
system including its capabilities and limitations. The manual describes the steps
involved in designing a BayFilterâ„¢ system as well as the installation and
maintenance requirements of the system.
BaySaver Technologies is a complete stormwater solutions provider. We
are always willing to assist design professionals to achieve the most efficient,
economical systems for their clients and projects. Please call the BaySaver
Technologies Inc. Engineering Department at 1.800.229.7283 for assistance.

Re: Geotechnical Engineering Investigation
Proposed Smokey Point Distributing Facility
East of 63rd Avenue NE and 192nd Street NE
Arlington, Washington
Dear Ms. Tauzin:
As requested, GeoTest Services, Inc. is pleased to submit this geotechnical engineering
report summarizing the results of our subsurface evaluation for the proposed Smokey
Point Distributing Facility to be located east of the intersection of 63rd Avenue NE and
192nd Street NE in Arlington, Washington. The subject property consists of three
separate parcels (tax parcel numbers 31051500400400, 310515004001500 and
31051500400300) with a total area of approximately 16 acres. The purpose of this
evaluation was to establish general subsurface conditions beneath the site from which
conclusions and recommendations for foundation design could be formulated.
Specifically, our scope of services included the following tasks:
• Exploration of soil and groundwater conditions underlying the site by advancing
four boring explorations with a subcontracted drill rig to depths ranging from
approximately 21.5 to 36.5 feet below ground surface (BGS) and 10 test pit
explorations dug by an excavator subcontracted by Smokey Point Distributing to
depths ranging from approximately 3.5 to 13.5 feet BGS.
• Laboratory testing on representative samples in order to classify and evaluate
the engineering characteristics of the soils encountered.
• Provide this written report containing a description of subsurface soil and
groundwater conditions, exploratory boring and test pit logs, findings and
recommendations pertaining to site preparation and earthwork, fill and
compaction, wet weather earthwork, seismic design considerations, foundation
support, slab-on-grade construction, foundation and site drainage, utilities,
stormwater infiltration and geotechnical consultation and construction monitoring.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
GTS understands that an approximately 58,000 square foot building will be constructed
in the northwestern portion of the property referenced above. The building will be a
large office/shop/warehouse facility. New building construction is anticipated to consist
of a steel framed structure with shallow conventional concrete foundations, slab-on-

grade floors and a metal-sheet exterior. Foundation loads are anticipated to be relatively
light. Asphalt and concrete drive paths and parking facilities are proposed around the
perimeter of the new building. Pervious gravel parking and surfacing is proposed
throughout the eastern and southern portions of the property.
The site is flat with less than a few feet of elevation differential across the property. Tree
cover has been completely removed from the site. GTS anticipates that some grading is
likely to occur, but that changes to site grades will be minimal.
SITE CONDITIONS
This section discusses the general surface and subsurface conditions observed at the
project site at the time of our field investigation. Interpretations of site conditions are
based on the results of our review of available information, site reconnaissance,
subsurface explorations, and laboratory testing.
General Geologic Conditions
Geologic information for the project site was obtained from the Geologic Map of the
Arlington West Quadrangle (Minard, 1985), published by the U.S. Geological Survey.
According to the referenced map, near surface soils in the vicinity of the project site
consist of Marysville Sand Member recessional glacial outwash (Qvrm) and Advance
Outwash (Qva). According to Minard, Marysville Sand recessional glacial outwash
generally consists of well-drained, stratified to massive, outwash sand with some pebble
gravel with localized areas of silt and clay. Advance Outwash was described as clean,
gray, pebbly sand with increasing amounts of gravel higher in the soil unit. Advance
Outwash was deposited by meltwater flowing from the advancing front of the glacier and
then overridden. Native soils encountered during our subsurface exploration were
generally consistent with the mapped glacial outwash deposits.
Surface Conditions
The subject property is currently an undeveloped property located directly east of the
intersection of 63rd Avenue NE and 192nd St NE, extending from 63rd Avenue NE to 66th
Avenue NE. The property is flat, with less than a few feet of elevation differential across
the building footprint. Native tree cover has been removed from the site, leaving only
short brush and overgrowth from the initial clearing of the property. Several brush, log
and woodchip stockpiles were present across the site. Surface water was not observed
within the proposed development area at the time of our field investigation.
Subsurface Soil Conditions
Subsurface conditions were explored by advancing 10 test pit explorations TP-01
through TP-10) on March 11, 2014 with an excavator contracted by the client and 4
exploration borings (B-1 through B-4) on March 19, 2014 using a subcontracted drill rig.
Test pit exploration were advanced to depths between 3.5 and 13.5 feet below ground
surface (BGS) while boring explorations were advanced to depths of between 21 and
36.5 feet BGS.

Representative samples were obtained during drilling by using the Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) procedure in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials
ASTM D1586 during the explorations. This test and sampling method consists of driving
a standard 2-inch, outside-diameter, split-barrel sampler a distance of 18 inches into the
soil with a 140-pound hammer free-falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows
for each 6-inch interval is recorded and the number of blows required to drive the
sampler the final 12 inches is known as the Standard Penetration Resistance (“Nâ€) or
blow count. If a total of 50 is recorded within one 6-inch interval, the blow count is
recorded as the number of blows for the corresponding number of inches of penetration.
The resistance, or N-value, provides a measure of the relative density of granular soils
or the relative consistency of cohesive soils; these values are reported on the attached
boring logs.
The on-site subsurface soils generally consisted of approximately 6 to 9 inches of topsoil
over 1 to 3 feet of orange tan weathered glacial outwash over native sand and gravel
outwash to the base of all explorations. Blow counts from SPT sampling generally
indicated medium dense soils within the weathered outwash.
The thickness of the orange tan weathered glacial outwash varied significantly between
explorations and occasionally within an exploration. We anticipate the thicker portions of
the weathered glacial outwash are related to the locations of removed tree root balls.
Native glacial outwash within the upper approximately 20 feet of soil consisted of very
gravelly sand to very sandy gravel. Blow counts from SPT sampling generally indicated
dense to very dense soils at depth. In several of the test pit explorations, surficial
outwash appeared to consist of alternating sand and gravel layers. Glacial outwash
below approximately 20 feet BGS became significantly less gravelly.
The approximate locations of the explorations are shown on the Site and Exploration
Plan, Figure 2. Please refer to the attached logs at the end of this report for more detail
at specific locations.
Groundwater
At the time of our subsurface investigation in March of 2014, no groundwater seepage
was encountered within our explorations. A thin red mottled horizon, potentially
indicative of a high groundwater elevation, was noted at a depth of 35.5 feet BGS in
exploration B-4. Our explorations occurred in late winter and are likely at or near
seasonal groundwater elevations.
The groundwater conditions reported on the exploration logs are for the specific
locations and dates indicated, and therefore may not necessarily be indicative of other
locations and/or times. Groundwater levels are not static and it is anticipated that
groundwater conditions will vary depending on local subsurface conditions, season,
precipitation, changes in land use both on and off site, and other factors.
Liquefaction Hazard Potential
Based on the online interactive Geologic Map of Washington State, published by the
Washington State Department of Natural Resources, the subject site is rated as a low to
moderate liquefaction susceptibility area. However, this map only provides an estimate
Page 3 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
of the likelihood that soil will liquefy as a result of earthquake shaking and is meant as a
general guide to delineate areas prone to liquefaction.
Based on our field exploration, the subject site has a low liquefaction susceptibility
during an earthquake under developed conditions due to the relative density and the
depth to groundwater. Near-surface conditions at the site typically consists of medium
dense to dense glacial outwash deposits (generally gravelly sand with relatively low
amounts of silt).
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the subsurface soil conditions observed at the site, it is our opinion that
subsurface conditions at the site are suitable for the proposed construction, provided the
recommendations contained herein are incorporated into the project design.
Soil conditions observed in the explorations located within the areas of proposed
improvements consist of medium dense to very dense glacial outwash deposits with
variable, but generally low, silt contents. For the proposed structure, foundation support
may be provided by continuous or isolated spread footings founded on firm native soil or
properly prepared and compacted structural fill placed directly over undisturbed native
soil to promote uniform support of foundation elements.
Site Preparation and Earthwork
The portions of the site to be occupied by foundations, slabs-on-grade floors, pavement,
or sidewalks should be prepared by removing any existing topsoil, debris, significant
accumulations of organics, or loose native soil from the area to be developed. Prior to
placement of any structural fill, the exposed subgrade under all areas to be occupied by
soil-supported foundations, floor slabs, or pavements should be recompacted to a firm
and unyielding condition and proof rolled with a loaded dump truck, large self-propelled
vibrating roller, or equivalent piece of equipment applicable to the size of the excavation.
The purpose of this effort is to identify possible loose or soft soil deposits and recompact
the soil exposed during site preparation and excavation activities.
Proof rolling should be carefully observed by qualified geotechnical personnel. Areas
exhibiting significant deflection, pumping, or are over optimum moisture contents cannot
be readily compacted should be overexcavated to firm soil. Overexcavated areas
should be backfilled with compacted granular material placed in accordance with
subsequent recommendations for structural fill. During periods of wet weather, proof
rolling could damage the exposed subgrade. Under these conditions, qualified
geotechnical personnel should observe subgrade conditions to determine if proof rolling
is feasible.
Fill and Compaction
Structural fill used to obtain final elevations for foundations must be properly placed and
compacted. In general, any suitable, non-organic, predominantly granular soil may be
used for fill material provided the material is properly moisture conditioned prior to
placement and compaction, and the specified degree of compaction is obtained.

Reuse of Onsite Soil
Native site soils in the upper 2 to 4 feet have somewhat variable, but slightly elevated,
“fines†contents (percent passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve). Soils 2 to 4 feet below
existing site grades, however, generally had low fines contents. Soils containing more
than approximately 5 percent “fines†are considered moisture sensitive, and are very
difficult to compact to a firm and unyielding condition when over the optimum moisture
content by more than approximately 2 percent. The optimum moisture content is that
which allows the greatest dry density to be achieved at a given level of compactive
effort.
It is our opinion that the near-surface native soil is suitable for re-use as structural fill
when placed at or near optimum moisture contents as determined by ASTM D1557 and
if allowed for in the project plans and specifications. It should be noted that organic
topsoils were encountered in our explorations and that materials with elevated levels of
organics cannot be reused as structural fill and should be segregated from mineral soils.
Imported Structural Fill
We recommend that imported structural fill consist of clean, well-graded sandy gravel,
gravelly sand, or other approved naturally occurring granular material (pit run) with at
least 30 percent retained on the No. 4 sieve, or a well-graded crushed rock. Structural
fill for dry weather construction may contain on the order of 10% fines (that portion
passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve) based on the portion passing the U.S. No. 4 sieve. Soil
containing more than about 5 percent fines cannot consistently be compacted to a
dense, non-yielding condition when the water content is greater than optimum.
Accordingly, we recommend that imported structural fill with less than 5% fines be used
during wet weather conditions. Due to wet weather or wet site conditions, soil moisture
contents could be high enough that it may be very difficult to compact even “cleanâ€
imported select granular fill to a firm and unyielding condition. Soils with over-optimum
moisture contents should be either scarified and dried back to more suitable moisture
contents during periods of dry weather or removed and replaced with fill soils at a more
suitable range of moisture contents.
Compaction of Structural Fill
Structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts 8 to 10 inches in loose thickness and
thoroughly compacted. All structural fill placed under load bearing areas should be
compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined using test
method ASTM D1557. The top of the compacted structural fill should extend outside all
foundations and other structural improvements a minimum distance equal to the
thickness of the fill. We recommend that compaction be tested periodically throughout
the fill placement.
Wet Weather Earthwork
It is our experience that the near-surface native soil is more susceptible to degradation
during wet weather. As a result, it may be difficult to control the moisture content of the
site soils during the wet season. If construction is accomplished during wet weather, we
recommend that structural fill consist of imported, clean, well-graded sand or sand and
Page 5 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
gravel as described above. If fill is to be placed or earthwork is to be performed in wet
weather or under wet conditions, the contractor may reduce soil disturbance by:
• Limiting the size of areas that are stripped of topsoil and left exposed
• Accomplishing earthwork in small sections
• Limiting construction traffic over unprotected soil
• Sloping excavated surfaces to promote runoff
• Limiting the size and type of construction equipment used
• Providing gravel "working mats†over areas of prepared subgrade
• Removing wet surficial soil prior to commencing fill placement each day
• Sealing the exposed ground surface by rolling with a smooth drum compactor or
rubber-tired roller at the end of each working day
• Providing upgradient perimeter ditches or low earthen berms and using
temporary sumps to collect runoff and prevent water from ponding and damaging
exposed subgrades.
Seismic Design Considerations
The Pacific Northwest is seismically active and the site could be subject to ground
shaking from a moderate to major earthquake. Consequently, moderate levels of
earthquake shaking should be anticipated during the design life of the project, and the
proposed structure should be designed to resist earthquake loading using appropriate
design methodology.
Site Class Definition
For structures designed using the seismic design provisions of the 2012 International
Building Code, the underlying alluvial soils interpreted to underlie the site within the
upper 100 feet classifies as Site Class D according to 2010 ASCE -7 Standard – Table
20.3-1, Site Class Definitions. The corresponding values for calculating a design
response spectrum for the assumed soil profile type is considered appropriate for the
site.
Please use the following values for seismic structural design purposes:

Foundation Support and Settlement
Foundation support for the proposed improvements may be provided by continuous or
isolated spread footings founded on proof-rolled, undisturbed, medium dense to dense
native soils or on properly compacted structural fill placed directly over undisturbed
native soil. We recommend that qualified geotechnical personnel confirm that suitable
bearing conditions have been reached prior to placement of structural fill or foundation
formwork.
To provide proper foundation support, we recommend that existing topsoil, existing fill,
and/or loose upper portions of the native soil be removed from beneath the building
foundation area(s) or replaced with properly compacted structural fill as described
elsewhere in this report. Alternatively, localized overexcavation could be backfilled to
the design footing elevation with lean concrete or foundations may be extended to bear
on undisturbed native soil. In areas requiring overexcavation to competent native soil,
the limits of the overexcavation should extend laterally beyond the edge of each side of
the footing a distance equal to the depth of the excavation below the base of the footing.
If lean concrete is used to backfill the overexcavation, the limits of the overexcavation
need only extend a nominal distance beyond the width of the footing. In addition, we
recommend that foundation elements for the proposed structure(s) bear entirely on
similar soil conditions to help prevent differential settlement from occurring.
Continuous and isolated spread footings should be founded a minimum of 18 inches
below the lowest adjacent final grade for freeze/thaw protection. Perimeter footings
should be at least 14 inches wide and sized in accordance with the structural engineer’s
prescribed design criteria and seismic considerations.
Allowable Bearing Capacity
Assuming the above foundation support criteria are satisfied, continuous or isolated
spread footings founded directly on medium dense to dense native soils or on
compacted structural fill placed directly over undisturbed native soils may be
proportioned using a net allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,500 pounds per square foot
(psf).
The term "net allowable bearing pressure" refers to the pressure that can be imposed on
the soil at foundation level resulting from the total of all dead plus live loads, exclusive of
the weight of the footing or any backfill placed above the footing. The net allowable
bearing pressure may be increased by one-third for transient wind or seismic loads.
Page 7 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
Foundation Settlements
Settlement of shallow foundations depends on foundation size and bearing pressure, as
well as the strength and compressibility characteristics of the underlying soil. Assuming
construction is accomplished as previously recommended and foundations don’t exceed
the maximum allowable soil bearing pressure recommended above, we estimate the
total settlement of building foundations under static conditions should be less than about
one inch and differential settlement between two adjacent load-bearing components
supported on competent soil should be less than about one half the total settlement.
Floor Support
Conventional slab-on-grade floor construction is considered feasible for the planned site
improvements. Floor slabs may be supported on properly prepared native subgrade or
on structural fill placed over properly prepared native soil. New floor slabs should not be
founded on existing pavement sections, topsoil, existing fill, or loose native soils. Prior
to placement of the structural fill, the native soil should be proof-rolled as recommended
in the Site Preparation and Earthwork section of this report.
For design purposes, a vertical modulus of subgrade reaction of 150 pounds per cubic
inch (pci) should be expected for slab-on-grade floors constructed over properly
prepared medium dense to dense native soils or structural fill placed over native soil.
The planned use of the building will likely require large open sections of concrete that
will be more susceptible to differential settlements and cracking than shorter, more
conventional sections of concrete. As such, GTS recommends that the structural
engineer review the design and determine if additional precautions are warranted to
prevent excessive cracking of floor slabs by placing grade beams, extra reinforcement,
or similar mitigation techniques.
We recommend that interior concrete slab-on-grade floors be underlain by a minimum of
6 inches of compacted, clean, free-draining gravel with less than 5 percent passing the
U.S. Standard No. 200 sieve (based on a wet sieve analysis of that portion passing the
U.S. Standard No. 4 sieve). The purpose of this layer is to provide uniform support for
the slab, provide a capillary break, and act as a drainage layer. To help reduce the
potential for water vapor migration through floor slabs, at a minimum a continuous
impermeable membrane of 6- to 10-mil polyethylene sheeting with tape-sealed joints
should be installed below the slab. The American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines
suggest that the slab may either be poured directly on the vapor retarding membrane or
on a granular curing layer placed over the vapor retarding membrane depending on
conditions anticipated during construction. We recommend that the architect or
structural engineer specify if a curing layer should be used. If moisture control within the
building is critical, we recommend an inspection of the vapor retarding membrane to
verify that all openings have been properly sealed.
Exterior concrete slabs-on-grade, such as sidewalks, may be supported directly on
undisturbed native or on properly placed and compacted structural fill; however, long-
term performance will be enhanced if exterior slabs are placed on a layer of clean,
durable, well-draining granular material.

Foundation and Site Drainage
To reduce the potential for groundwater and surface water to seep into interior spaces
we recommend that an exterior footing drain system be constructed around the
perimeter of new building foundations as shown in the Typical Footing and Wall Drain
Section, Figure 3. The drain should consist of a minimum 4-inch diameter perforated
pipe, surrounded by a minimum 12 inches of filtering media with the discharge sloped to
carry water to a suitable collection system. The filtering media may consist of open-
graded drain rock wrapped by a nonwoven geotextile fabric (such as Mirafi 140N or
equivalent) or a graded sand and gravel filter. The drainage backfill should be carried up
the back of the wall to within approximately 1 foot of the ground surface and contain less
than 3 percent by weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 sieve (based on a wet sieve
analysis of that portion passing the U.S. Standard No. 4 sieve). The invert of the footing
drain pipe should be placed at approximately the same elevation as the bottom of the
footing or 12 inches below the adjacent floor slab grade, whichever is deeper, so that
water will not seep through walls or floor slabs. The footing drain should discharge to an
approved drain system and include cleanouts to allow periodic maintenance and
inspection.
Positive surface gradients should be provided adjacent to the proposed building to direct
surface water away from the foundation and toward suitable discharge facilities. Roof
drainage should not be introduced into the perimeter footing drains, but should be
separately discharged directly to the stormwater collection system or other appropriate
outlet at a suitable distance away from the structure. Pavement and sidewalk areas
should be sloped and drainage gradients should be maintained to carry all surface water
away from the building towards the local stormwater collection system. Surface water
should not be allowed to pond and soak into the ground surface near buildings or paved
areas during or after construction. Construction excavations should be sloped to drain to
sumps where water from seepage, rainfall, and runoff can be collected and pumped to a
suitable discharge facility.
Resistance to Lateral Loads
The lateral earth pressures that develop against retaining walls will depend on the
method of backfill placement, degree of compaction, slope of backfill, type of backfill
material, provisions for drainage, magnitude and location of any adjacent surcharge
loads, and the degree to which the wall can yield laterally during or after placement of
backfill. If the wall is allowed to rotate or yield so the top of the wall moves an amount
equal to or greater than about 0.001 to 0.002 times its height (a yielding wall), the soil
pressure exerted will be the active soil pressure. When a wall is restrained against
lateral movement or tilting (a nonyielding wall), the soil pressure exerted is the at-rest
soil pressure. Wall restraint may develop if a rigid structural network is constructed prior
to backfilling or if the wall is inherently stiff.
We recommend that yielding walls under drained conditions be designed for an
equivalent fluid density of 35 pounds per cubic ft (pcf) for structural fill in active soil
conditions. Nonyielding walls under drained conditions should be designed for an
equivalent fluid density of 55 pcf for structural fill in at-rest conditions. Design of walls
should include appropriate lateral pressures caused by surcharge loads located within a
horizontal distance equal to or less than the height of the wall. For uniform surcharge
pressures, a uniformly distributed lateral pressure equal to 35 percent and 50 percent of
Page 9 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
the vertical surcharge pressure should be added to the lateral soil pressures for yielding
and nonyielding walls, respectively.
Passive earth pressures developed against the sides of building foundations, in
conjunction with friction developed between the base of the footings and the supporting
subgrade, will resist lateral loads transmitted from the structure to its foundation. For
design purposes, the passive resistance of well-compacted fill placed against the sides
of foundations may be considered equivalent to a fluid with a density of 250 pounds per
cubic ft. The recommended value includes a safety factor of about 1.5 and is based on
the assumption that the ground surface adjacent to the structure is level in the direction
of movement for a distance equal to or greater than twice the embedment depth. The
recommended value also assumes drained conditions that will prevent the buildup of
hydrostatic pressure in the compacted fill. Retaining walls should include a drain system
constructed in general accordance with the recommendations presented in the
Foundation and Site Drainage section of this report. In design computations, the upper
12 inches of passive resistance should be neglected if the soil is not covered by floor
slabs or pavement. If future plans call for the removal of the soil providing resistance,
the passive resistance should not be considered.
An allowable coefficient of base friction of 0.30, applied to vertical dead loads only, may
be used between the underlying imported granular structural fill and the base of the
footing. If passive and frictional resistance are considered together, one half the
recommended passive soil resistance value should be used since larger strains are
required to mobilize the passive soil resistance as compared to frictional resistance. A
safety factor of about 1.5 is included in the base friction design value. We do not
recommend increasing the coefficient of friction to resist seismic or wind loads.
Utilities
It is important that utility trenches be properly backfilled and compacted to minimize the
possibility of cracking or localized loss of foundation, slab, or pavement support. It is
anticipated that excavations for new underground utilities will be in medium dense glacial
outwash deposits. Groundwater was not encountered during our subsurface
explorations and is not expected to be encountered in typical utility trenches.
Trench backfill should consist of structural fill as defined earlier in this report. Trench
backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with the report section
Compaction of Structural Fill.
Temporary excavations in excess of 4 ft should be shored or sloped in accordance with
Safety Standards for Construction Work Part N, WAC 296-155-657. Temporary
unsupported excavations in the medium dense granular soils generally encountered in
our exploration are classified as a Type C soil according to WAC 296-155-657 and may
be sloped as steep as 1½H:1V. Flatter slopes or temporary shoring may be required in
areas where groundwater seepage is present and unstable conditions develop.
Surcharge loads on trench support systems due to construction equipment, stockpiled
material, and vehicle traffic should be included in the design of any anticipated shoring
system. The contractor should implement measures to prevent surface water runoff
from entering trenches and excavations. In addition, vibration as a result of construction
activities and traffic may cause caving of the trench walls.
Page 10 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
Actual trench configurations should be the responsibility of the contractor. All applicable
local, state, and federal safety codes shall be followed. All open cuts should be
monitored by the contractor during excavation for any evidence of instability. If instability
is detected, the contractor should flatten the side slopes or install temporary shoring. If
groundwater or groundwater seepage is present, and the trench is not properly
dewatered, the soil within the trench zone may be prone to caving, channeling, and
running. Trench widths may be substantially wider than under dewatered conditions.
Pavement Subgrade Preparation
Selection of a pavement section is typically a choice relative to higher initial cost and
lower long term maintenance or lower initial cost, with potentially less time before an
overlay or other maintenance. For this reason, we recommend that the owner
participate in the selection of proposed pavement improvements planned for the site.
Site grading plans should include provisions for sloping of the subgrade soils in
proposed pavement areas, so that passive drainage of the pavement section(s) can
proceed uninterrupted during the life of the project.
Structural fill placed to establish subgrade elevation should be compacted to a minimum
of 95 percent of its maximum dry density, as determined using test method ASTM
D1557. Prior to the placement of base-course and paving materials, the exposed
pavement should be proof rolled. Proof rolling should be accomplished with a loaded
dump truck, large self-propelled vibrating roller, or equivalent piece of equipment. The
purpose of this effort is to identify possible loose or soft soil and recompact disturbed
areas of subgrade.
Proof rolling should be carefully observed by GeoTest personnel. Areas exhibiting
significant deflection, pumping, or over-optimum moisture content soils that cannot be
readily compacted should be overexcavated to firm soil. Overexcavated areas should
be backfilled with compacted granular fill. During periods of wet weather, proof rolling
could damage the exposed subgrade. Under these conditions, GeoTest personnel
should observe subgrade conditions to determine if proof rolling is feasible. Prevention
of road-base saturation is essential for pavement durability; thus, efforts should be made
to limit the amount of water entering the base course.
Flexible Pavement Sections – Light Duty
We anticipate that asphalt pavement will be used for new access drives and parking
areas. We recommend a standard, or “light dutyâ€, pavement section consist of 2.5
inches of Class ½-inch HMA asphalt above 6 inches of crushed surfacing base course
(CSBC) meeting criteria set forth in the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) Standard Specification 9-03.9[3].
Depending on construction staging and desired performance, CSBC material may be
substituted with asphalt treated base (ATB) beneath the final asphalt surfacing. The
substitution of ATB should be as follows: 6 inches of crushed rock can be substituted
with 4 inches of ATB. ATB should be placed over a subgrade compacted to at least 95
percent of the relative density, and a 1½- to 2-inch thickness of crushed rock to act as a
working surface. If ATB is used for construction access and staging areas, some rutting
and disturbance of the ATB surface should be expected. The general contractor should
Page 11 of 15
GeoTest Services, Inc. April 10, 2014
Smokey Point Distributing, Arlington, WA Job No. 14-0086
remove affected areas and replace them with properly compacted ATB prior to final
surfacing.
Flexible Pavement Sections – Heavy Duty
Areas that will be accessed by large trucks, buses, garbage trucks, or other heavy
vehicles will require a thicker asphalt section and should be designed using a paving
section consisting 4 inches of Class ½-inch HMA asphalt surfacing above 8 inches of
CSBC meeting criteria set forth in the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) Standard Specification 9-03.9[3]. As this is a trucking facility and higher loads
are anticipated, GTS also recommends that strong woven geotextile fabric (such as
Mirafi 500X) or a geogrid (such as Mirafi 2XT) be considered at the existing native
soil/CSBC contact. Whereas the geotextile fabric/geogrid is not mandatory, it is our
opinion that the fabric/grid will extend the life of the asphalt pavement. Asphalt
pavements should be founded above a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent of the
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D1557.
Depending on construction staging and desired performance, CSBC material may be
substituted with ATB beneath the final asphalt surfacing. The substitution of ATB should
be as follows: 6 inches of crushed rock can be substituted with 4 inches of ATB. ATB
should be placed over a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent of the relative
density, and a 1½- to 2-inch thickness of crushed rock to act as a working surface. If
ATB is used for construction access and staging areas, some rutting and disturbance of
the ATB surface should be expected. The general contractor should remove affected
areas and replace them with properly compacted ATB prior to final surfacing.
Concrete Pavement Sections
Concrete pavements could be used for access and parking areas. The design of
concrete drives that will support heavy vehicles should be designed by the structural
engineer. Design of concrete pavements is a function of concrete strength,
reinforcement steel, and the anticipated loading conditions for the roads. For design
purposes, a vertical modulus of subgrade reaction of 150 pounds per cubic inch (pci)
should be expected for concrete roadways constructed over properly prepared medium
dense to dense native soil, or properly placed and compacted structural fill. GTS
expects that concrete pavement sections, if utilized, will be at least 6 inches thick and be
founded on a minimum of 8 inches of compacted CSBC. It is assumed that pavement
and CSBC sections will be placed over a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent of
ASTM D1557.
Concrete Sidewalks and Hardscapes
We recommend a concrete sidewalk and hardscape section consisting of at least 4
inches of concrete above a minimum of 4 inches of CSBC. It is assumed that sidewalks
and hardscape sections will be placed over a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent
of ASTM D1557.

TEST PIT GRADATION RESULTS
From the explorations excavated in the areas of interest, seven near-surface soil
samples were selected and mechanically tested for grain size distribution and
interpretation according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil
textural classification. Subsurface infiltration rates corresponding to the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil textural classification were obtained from the
2005 Washington State Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for
Western Washington, Table 3.7 and are reproduced in Table 1 below.
TABLE 1
Test Pit Soil Sample Infiltration Rates
Based On The 2005 DOE Stormwater Management Manual Table 3.7

TP-08 1.0 Sand 6.2 2.0
TP-08 2.5 Sand 2.5 2.0
Note: Listed infiltration rates are long-term (design) rates as stated in Table 3.7.
NT: Not Tested
Based on the results of our USDA textural analysis and our interpretation of our soil logs,
infiltration into the near surface glacial outwash generally correlates to a long-term
infiltration rate of about 2 inches per hour. Locally, silty soils may be present at or near
the existing ground surface that have the potential to reduce infiltration rates. Therefore,
it is recommended that infiltration facilities penetrate into the more granular and free
draining glacial outwash if 2 inches per hour is to be used for the purposes of design.
GTS recommends that we be allowed to view the bottom of infiltration facilities during
construction to confirm that the soil type and consistency is as anticipated.
Alternative means of stormwater management utilizing LID (low impact development)
systems, such as pervious pavements and/or raingardens, may be feasible at the project
site. In order to fully address stormwater management and/or the infiltration of
stormwater, additional studies may be required. The placement of infiltration facilities
may be different in final design than what was provided to us for our current studies. As
such, GTS is available to assist with additional studies should they be required.

Geotechnical Consultation and Construction Monitoring
GeoTest Services recommends that a geotechnical engineer familiar with the project
design review the earthwork and foundation portions of the design drawings and
specifications. The purpose of the review is to verify that the recommendations
presented in this report have been properly interpreted and incorporated in the design
and specifications.
We recommend that geotechnical construction monitoring services be provided. These
services should include observation by geotechnical personnel during fill
placement/compaction activities and subgrade preparation operations to verify that
design subgrade conditions are obtained beneath the proposed building. We also
recommend that periodic field density testing be performed to verify that the appropriate
degree of compaction is obtained. The purpose of these services would be to observe
compliance with the design concepts, specifications, and recommendations of this
report, and in the event subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated before the
start of construction, provide revised recommendations appropriate to the conditions
revealed during construction. GeoTest Services would be pleased to provide these
services for you.
GeoTest Services is also available to provide a full range of materials testing and special
inspection during construction as required by the local building department and the
International Building Code. This may include specific construction inspections on
materials such as reinforced concrete, reinforced masonry, structural steel and other
inspections. These services are supported by our fully accredited materials testing
laboratory.
USE OF THIS REPORT
GeoTest Services has prepared this report for the exclusive use of Smokey Point
Distributing , Inc. and their design consultants for specific application to the design of the
proposed Smokey Point Distributing Expansion. Use of this report by others or for
another project is at the user’s sole risk. Within the limitations of scope, schedule, and
budget, our services have been conducted in accordance with generally accepted
practices of the geotechnical engineering profession; no other warranty, either
expressed or implied, is made as to the professional advice included in this report.
Our site explorations indicate subsurface conditions at the dates and locations indicated.
It is not warranted that they are representative of subsurface conditions at other
locations and times. The analyses, conclusions, and recommendations contained in this
report are based on site conditions to the limited depth of our explorations at the time of
our exploration program, a brief geological reconnaissance of the area, and review of
published geological information for the site. We assume that the explorations are
representative of the subsurface conditions throughout the site during the preparation of
our recommendations. If variations in subsurface conditions are encountered during
construction, we should be notified for review of the recommendations of this report, and

Notes: 1. Soil descriptions are based on the general approach presented in the Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure),
as outlined in ASTM D 2488. Where laboratory index testing has been conducted, soil classifications are based on the Standard Test Method for Classification
of Soils for Engineering Purposes, as outlined in ASTM D 2487.
2. Soil description terminology is based on visual estimates (in the absence of laboratory test data) of the percentages of each soil type and is defined
as follows:
Primary Constituent: > 50% - "GRAVEL," "SAND," "SILT," "CLAY," etc.
Secondary Constituents: > 30% and <_ 50% - "very gravelly," "very sandy," "very silty," etc.
> 12% and <_ 30% - "gravelly," "sandy," "silty," etc.
Additional Constituents: > 5% and <_ 12% - "slightly gravelly," "slightly sandy," "slightly silty," etc.
<_ 5% - "trace gravel," "trace sand," "trace silt," etc., or not noted.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They
highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about
the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many
different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners,
community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also,
conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal,
and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance
the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties
that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information
is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on
various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying
with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases.
Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/
nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For
more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (http://
offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic
tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or
underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department
of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural
Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil
Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous areas
in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and
their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations
affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of
the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and
the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is
the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the
surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the
surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other
living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas
(MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share
common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources,
soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically
consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is
related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area.
Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of
landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous
areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the
landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus,
during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable
degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the
landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by
an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify
predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to
identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of
soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have
similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique
combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of
the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes
the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and
landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of
resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is
needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and
experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-
landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific
locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of
measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These
measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to
bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of
sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from
one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret
the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics
and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different
uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils
in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are
modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet
local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information,
production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop
yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from
field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such
variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long
periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil
scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have
a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a
high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields,
roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils
or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the
maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape,
however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability
of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend
beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic
class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic
classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas
for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes
other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally
are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used.
Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified
by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the
contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with
some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been
observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially
where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations
to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness
or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic
classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments
on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If
10
Custom Soil Resource Report
intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to
define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each
description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties
and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons
that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity,
degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such
differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the
detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly
indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0
to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The
pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all
areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or
anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical
or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and
relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-
Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that
could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of
the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be
made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up
of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material
and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. If ponding lasts more than 24 hours in the infiltration facilities after a storm event the
facility must be maintained as outlined in the Operations and Maintenance guidelines
attached.
2. The permeable ballast is to have a depth of at least 4â€inches. If the depth becomes less
than 4â€inches additional ballast should be added until 4â€inches of ballast is reached.
Additionally, a loamy sand depth check should be as well. The loamy sand is to have a
minimum depth of 18â€inches. If the loamy sand depth is less than 18â€inches it should be
amended prior to placement of additional ballast.

Re: Pilot Infiltration Testing Supplement
Proposed Smokey Point Distributing Building
East of 63rd Avenue NE and 192nd Street NE
Arlington, Washington
Dear Ms. Tauzin:
GeoTest Services, Inc. (GTS) has been requested to provide additional information
regarding our recent infiltration testing on the property located at 63rd Avenue NE and
192nd Street NE in Arlington, Washington. The results of the Pilot Infiltration Testing
(PIT) can be found in the report titled Pilot Infiltration Testing Investigation, Proposed
Smokey Point Distributing Facility, East of 63rd Avenue NE and 192nd Street NE,
Arlington, Washington, dated January 14, 2015.
Determining Design Infiltration Rates
Pilot Infiltration Testing was performed at locations PIT-1 and PIT-2 to determine in-situ
long term design infiltration rates at the location and depth of the proposed infiltration
systems. Water was discharged into the individual test pit explorations through a
diffuser to reduce turbulence and scouring in the bottom of the pit. Water discharge
rates were calculated by recording the volume of water passing through a water meter
over a recorded time. The rate of water discharge was adjusted such that a minimum of
12 inches of water was maintained in the pit, thus maintaining a “constant head†in the
pit. A more comprehensive explanation of the testing procedure, along with a figure
showing the approximate location of the tests can be found in the previously referenced
report. The short-term, or “fieldâ€, infiltration testing results were recorded at the time of
the test and are presented below in Table 1.
TABLE 1
Summary of Field Infiltration Testing Results
Test Number Short-Term Infiltration Rate, inches/hour
(Constant Head Test Results)
PIT-1 73
PIT-2 183
The test results indicated short-term infiltration rates of 73 and 183 inches per hour.
This is representative of instantaneous results without the benefit of correction factors or
reductions in rate to account for the long-term performance of the facility.
