Subject: Geotechnical Evaluation
Macadam Ridge Planned Development
GCN Project 1161
At your request, GCN has completed a geotechnical investigation for the proposed Macadam Ridge
Subdivision. A Landslide Hazzard Evaluation of the project site was completed concurrently and is
attached in its entirety. The purpose of our evaluation is to provide recommendations.
This report describes the work accomplished and provides our conclusions and recommendations
for design and construction. This report was prepared in accordance with our Professional Services
Agreement dated December 20, 2016.
We previously evaluated the site in 2014 and 2016 for Brownstone Homes.
PROJECT INFORMATION
The approximate 14-acre, irregularly shaped property is currently undeveloped. It is located north of
Taylors Ferry Road and east of SW Ruby Terrace. The site relative to surrounding features is shown
in Figure 1.
The Central Channel of Stephens Creek borders the site to the north and two small tributaries of
Stevens Creek are located on or near the site, discharging into the central channel. The channels are
Ruby Creek on the west side and the Mausoleum Channel on the east side. Areas near Stephens
Creek and all of the property north of the creek will be left undeveloped. Existing sanitary and storm
sewer lines run in the channels of Ruby Creek and Stephens Creek. Discharge from the Mausoleum
Tributary are carried in pipes as they approach Stephens Creek.
The Riverview Abbey Mausoleum is located below and east of the site along Stephens Creek with
frontage along SW Taylors Ferry Road.
Emerio Design provided preliminary site plans that were prepared in January 2017. The drawings
show a 23-lot subdivision of single family homes that will be accessed from Taylors Ferry Road. In
addition to buildable lots for the homes, the project will include underground utilities, public and
private roadways, and retaining walls. The planned site layout is shown in Figure 2.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of our evaluation was to explore subsurface and provide geotechnical
recommendations for design and construction of the project. The following describes our specific
scope of services:
Coordinate and manage the field investigation, including utility locates, authorization for
site access, access preparation, and scheduling of contractors and GCN staff.

SITE CONDITIONS
The project site is located in an undeveloped area north of Taylors Ferry Road where it intersects
with Macadam Avenue. Stephens Creek runs through the property, separating it into two relatively
flat areas that lie above the creek. The following paragraphs provide a description of the area
geology, the seismic conditions, surface and subsurface features, and slope stability.
SITE GEOLOGY
The project site is located at the east end of the Portland Hills, a northwest-southeast trending
topographic crest that separates the Portland and Tualatin Basins. The Portland Hills are underlain
by a thick sequence of basalt flows belonging to the Miocene age (about 9 to 16.5 million year old)
Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG)1. The basalt is dense, finely crystalline rock that is commonly
fractured along blocky and columnar joints. Where highly weathered, the upper surface of the basalt
is altered to a distinctive, red-brown, clayey silt known as laterite or residual soil.
Tectonic forces in the Late Miocene to Pliocene (1.6 to 9 Million years ago) uplifted and faulted the
basalt to form broad hills. Weathering and erosion have incised drainageways in the hills and in
some cases through the uplifted basalt.
In the Late Quaternary age (last 20 thousand years), the Willamette Valley and Tualatin Valley were
inundated by episodic glacial outburst floods that reached an elevation of about 400 feet above
mean sea level 2. The floods repeatedly deposited gravel, silt, and sand with a total thickness of
several hundred feet in some areas. The deposits on the margins of the Portland Hills, where the
project site is located, are generally beds of horizontally layered silt and sand up to 3 feet thick. The
last of the many flooding events is believed to have occurred at the end of the last glacial period
9,000 to 10,000 years ago.
Strong wind transported the silt and fine sand onto the surface of the Portland Hills, re-depositing it
as loess, forming a soil mantle that covers the rock on the upland portions the hills. The loess,
referred to as the Portland Hills Silt, is typically 5 to 15 feet thick on the slopes and ridgelines that
are above 400 feet. The loess is difficult to distinguish from the underlying water deposited
silt3.Seismic Setting
Seismic Sources
The Portland Hills are subject to seismic events stemming from three possible sources: The Cascadia
Subduction Zone (CSZ) at the interface between the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American plate;
intraslab faults within the Juan de Fuca plate; and crustal faults in the North American plate.

The maximum magnitude for a CSZ event is expected to be in the range of Moment Magnitude (MW)
9.0. Intraslab events have occurred on a frequent basis in the Puget Sound, contributing small
magnitude ground motions in Western Oregon.
There are no mapped faults that pass directly through the site as inventoried in the USGS Quaternary
Fault and Fold database4. Quaternary faults that lie within 10 miles of the site are the Oatfield Fault
about 5 thousand feet to the southwest, the Portland Hills Fault about 1.4 miles to the northeast, the
East Bank Fault about 3.6 miles to the northeast, and the Canby-Molalla Fault about 5.9 miles to the
southwest.
Seismic Design Factors
The contribution of potential earthquake-induced ground motion from all known sources, including
the faults described above, are included in the probabilistic ground motion maps developed by the
USGS. Seismic site characterization and design recommendations based on USGS mapping and
analysis are implemented in the International Building Code. Seismic design parameters for the
project site are provided in Figure 3.
SURFACE CONDITIONS
The approximate 14-acre site includes gently sloped upland areas incised by two mapped
drainageways and the gently flowing Stephens Creek that drains areas extending some two miles
upstream to the Hillsdale neighborhood.
The site is bordered by existing residential development on the north, west and south, and by the
Riverview Abbey Mausoleum on the east. Right-of-way for unimproved Hume Street also borders the
site on the south.
Vegetation on the site includes a canopy of widely-spaced deciduous trees, few evergreens, and
shrubbery at isolated breaks in the tree cover. Remnant tree stumps and overgrown logging roads
are present on the site from logging of the property many decades in the past. The ground surface
is covered primarily with English Ivy and low brush. The near surface soil includes a layer of forest
topsoil with a capping layer of duff and tree liter.
Elevations on the site range from about 325 feet in upland areas to about 155 feet at Stephens
Creek. On the west, the bottom of Stephens Creek forms a broad, gentle, alluvial plain with a
meandering channel. On the east, the alluvial plain ends and the creek becomes a narrow, incised
channel eventually flowing into a culvert beneath Taylors Ferry Road.
Basalt bedrock is exposed in the creek channel at the middle portion of the site. The basalt is hard
with fractures and joints formed by tectonic forces. Similar basalt is exposed in the near vertical cut
made into the hillside to accommodate Taylors Ferry Road near the northeast corner of the property.

Site Development Area general topography
The area of the site that will be developed is located on a gently inclined topographic bench. The
average slope inclination is about 12H:1 (Horizontal to Vertical) or about 5 degrees. The bench
appears from LiDAR imaging to be a slide flow mass that came to rest following an ancient landslide.
Additional details of the site are provided in the a accompanying landslide hazard report.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface materials were investigated in March and August 2014 and February 2015, with eight soil
borings, B-1 through B-8, , and two hand-auger borings, HA-1 and HA-2. Inclinometer casings were
installed in borings B-6 and B-8. Standpipe piezometers were installed in borings B-5 and B-7. The
field exploration and laboratory testing programs and exploration logs are provided in Appendix A.
For the purpose of discussion, the materials disclosed by the explorations have been grouped into
the following major units based on their physical characteristics and engineering properties.
Forest Topsoil
We encountered forest topsoil at the ground surface that extends to depths of 1 to 1 feet bgs. The
topsoil is soft to medium stiff silt with organics that includes a duff layer in the upper few inches and
tree roots up to 4 inches in diameter.
Native Silt
The site is underlain by native undisturbed medium stiff to very stiff silt with trace to some fine sand.
The soil is identified geologically as Willamette Silt.
The silt on the site is 30 to 50 feet thick based on our borings and on exposures of basalt along
Stephens Creek and Taylors Ferry Road. The silt rests on a rock ledge that is inclined gently to the
northeast at about 6 degrees.
The moisture content of samples obtained from the Willamette Silt ranged from 7 to 41 percent and
the dry unit weight ranged from 82 to 98 pounds per cubic foot (pcf).
Columbia River Basalt
Columbia River Basalt underlies the Willamette Silt unit. Basalt is exposed at the ground surface
along the channel of Stephens Creek and in the near-vertical road cut adjacent to Taylors Ferry Road
at the northeast corner of the site. The basalt is generally moderate (RH-2) to hard (RH-3), vesicular,
and exhibits moderate fracturing and jointing.
The upper 10 to 15 feet of the basalt is decomposed to residual soil due to weathering. The residual
soil is clay to clayey silt with trace sand, fragments of weathered basalt, and relict structures
including vesicles, fracture planes, and joints. The moisture content of select soil samples obtained
from the residual soil ranged from 26 to 58 percent.
Groundwater Monitoring and Surface water
We encountered groundwater in all of the borings that varied from about 2 to 27 feet below the
ground surface when the explorations were made. Piezometers installed on the site in in borings B-6
and B-8 on March 15, 2015 have recorded data for a period of about 21 months. The locations of
Page 5 of 16
B-6 and B-8 are shown in Figure 2. The recorded groundwater depth and rainfall data for the site
area is provided in Figure B-1.
The regional groundwater table in the site vicinity is at an elevation of about 150 feet above mean
sea level. The measurements detailed below reflect groundwater that is perched above relatively
impermeable weathered basalt rock.
We observed discharge pipes on the residential lots that abut the project site along the west. We
observed an area of concentrated surface water flow a zone about 100 feet wide in the vicinity of
hand auger HA-1.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of our field explorations and our engineering analysis, it is our opinion that the
site can be developed as proposed. Expected building loads and planned structural fill can be
supported on undisturbed native soil or on new structural fill supported on these materials.
There four key geotechnical considerations for development of the site as summarized below:
1. Near surface soil on the site is wet for and extended portion of the year due to the heavy
tree cover, north facing slope, and prolonged discharge of surface water onto the site
from the adjacent properties to the east. In addition, there is a relatively thick layer of
disturbed and forest topsoil that extends between 18 and 24 inches from the ground
surface. Mass grading on the site could require the use of crushed rock or amendment
of soil with portland cement.
2. Perched groundwater is near the surface over much of the site and surface water from
abutting residential properties to the west discharge to the site. The project plans should
include a cutoff trench on the west side of the project to intercept and control the water.
Depending on site conditions encountered during construction, it may be necessary to
install additional cutoff trenches on the site. Cutoff trenches are also called french drains.
3. The slopes leading to Ruby Creek and Stephens Creek are subject to long term upslope
retrograde in the current natural state. Development of the project site will reduce the
influence of both on-site and off-site stormwater when catch basins and cutoff trenches
are constructed. Further, underground utility trenches will reduce perched groundwater
elevations. Development of the site will slow or eliminate retrograde of the slopes.
Specific recommendations for project design and construction are provided in the paragraphs that
follow.
CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Due to the presence of fine-grained silty soil with high natural moisture content, site grading should
be limited to the drier periods of the year, usually late spring to early fall. The silt soil is extremely
sensitive to moisture content. When wet, the soils are easily disturbed, rutted, and weakened by
construction activities and are difficult or impractical to install as well-compacted fill.
Considering the wet soils found on site, in combination with north-facing, shaded slopes, it may be
impractical to aerate and dry the soil in preparation for use as structural fill. An admixture of
portland cement may be needed to facilitate structural fill completion. The amount of cement
Page 6 of 16
required will depend on the natural moisture content of the soil at the time of construction.
Admixtures of 5 to 7 percent cement are typical.
Proofrolling of the subgrade should not be performed during wet weather or if wet ground
conditions exist. Instead, the subgrade should be evaluated by probing. Soils that have been
disturbed during site preparation activities, or soft or loose zones identified during probing, should
be removed and replaced with structural fill.
Site preparation should be accomplished using track-mounted equipment, loading removed material
into trucks supported on granular haul roads. The imported granular material should be placed in
one lift over the prepared or undisturbed subgrade and compacted using a smooth drum, non-
vibratory roller. We recommend that geotextile be placed as a barrier between the subgrade and
imported fill in areas of repeated construction traffic. The geotextile should have a minimum Mullen
burst strength of 250 pounds per square inch (psi) for puncture resistance and an apparent opening
size between the U.S. Standard No. 70 and No. 100 Sieve to minimize migration of fines into the
imported granular material.
The base rock thickness for project streets, as described below in the section titled Pavement
Recommendations, is intended to support post-construction design traffic loads. The base rock
thickness determined for post-construction traffic will not support construction traffic or pavement
construction when the subgrade soils are wet. Accordingly, if construction is planned for periods
when the subgrade soils are not dry and firm, then an increased thickness of base rock or other
methods to support construction traffic will be required.
SITE PREPARATION
Stripping
The existing heavily rooted zone and forest duff should be stripped and removed from the site in all
proposed building and pavement areas and for a 5-foot margin around such areas. Based on our
explorations, we anticipate the depth of stripping will typically be 6 to 12 inches. Some larger roots
exist in the upper foot to 1 feet of the site. These roots should also be removed; they can be
removed either by additional stripping or by ripping and then manually picking out roots larger than
inch in diameter.
Greater stripping depths may be required to remove localized zones of loose or organic soil. The
actual stripping depth should be based on field observations at the time of construction. Stripped
material should be transported off site for disposal or used in landscaped areas.
Trees, shrubs, and brush should be removed from all building and paved areas. Root balls should be
grubbed out to a depth such that all roots or parts of roots greater than -inch in diameter are
removed. The depth of excavation to remove root balls could exceed 5 feet. Depending on the
methods used, considerable disturbance and loosening of the subgrade could occur during site
grubbing. We recommend that soil disturbed during grubbing operations be removed to expose
firm undisturbed subgrade. The resulting excavations should be backfilled with structural fill.
Proofrolling
After stripping and required site cutting have been completed, we recommend proofrolling the
subgrade with a fully loaded dump truck or similar size, rubber-tire construction equipment to
Page 7 of 16
identify areas of excessive yielding. The proofrolling should be observed by a member of our
geotechnical staff, who will evaluate the subgrade. If areas of excessive yielding are identified, the
material should be excavated and replaced with compacted materials recommended for structural
fill.
PERMANENT SLOPES
Permanent cut and fill slopes should not exceed a grade of 2H:1V (Horizontal to Vertical). Slopes
that will be maintained by mowing should not be constructed steeper than 3H:1V. Structures and
paved surfaces should be located at least 5 feet from the slope face.
The slopes should be planted with appropriate vegetation to provide protection against erosion.
Surface water runoff should be collected and directed away from slopes steeper than 3H:1V to
prevent water from running down the face of the slope.
UTILITY TRENCH DRAINAGE EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL
Trench excavation on the site may be complicated by the presence of perched water and near
surface groundwater. We offer the following recommendations for utility trench design, excavation,
and backfill.
Utility Trench Drainage
Due to the presence of high groundwater over portions of the site, it may be desirable to collect
groundwater from the granular fill in the deeper utility trenches. Groundwater can be collected using
a 4-in.-diameter perforated drain line, wrapped in a geotextile, and placed near the bottom of the
utility trench. A schematic diagram of a utility trench with co-located drainage is shown in Figure 4.
In our opinion, these drainage improvements will improve the overall stability of the site. The
collected water should be discharged into the storm drain system at manhole locations. Drain lines
should not be placed in segments of utilities that are constructed down slopes.
A perforated drain pipe should be installed in selected utility trenches uphill of each check dam and
drained into the storm sewer using solid, non-perforated piping.
Checkdams on Slopes
Utilities constructed inline down a slope should be installed with check dams of impermeable
material spaced at regular intervals. Checkdams reduce groundwater flow within the backfill which
could otherwise cause piping and loss of backfill material. For initial estimating purposes we
recommend an interval of about 150 ft. This interval may be varied based upon conditions
encountered during construction. Impermeable material is typically Controlled Density Fill (CDF) or
bentonite.
Excavation
We anticipate that most on-site utility trench excavations will be in silt soil. There are four major
considerations in the design and construction of new utilities:
1. Provide positive control of groundwater to maintain stable trench sides and bottom.
2. Provide stable excavation sides slopes or support for trench sidewalls to minimize loss
of ground.
Page 8 of 16
3. Provide a safe working environment during construction.

4. Minimize post-construction settlement of the utility and the ground surface.
Problems associated with the control of groundwater can be minimized by scheduling construction
for the dry months when groundwater level is typically below the base of utility trenches. Even
during the dry months, trenches constructed near the bottom of drainage ravines will likely
encounter groundwater. We anticipate that dewatering, if required, can be accomplished by
pumping from sumps within the trench excavations.
The method of excavation and the design of trench support is the responsibility of the contractor
and subject to applicable local, state, and federal safety regulations, including the current OSHA
excavation and trench safety standards. The means, methods, and sequencing of construction
operations and site safety are also the responsibility of the contractor.
Trench Backfill
Trench backfill in structural areas should consist of well-graded granular material with a maximum
particle size of inch and less than 8 percent by weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 Sieve.
The material should be free of roots, organic matter, and other unsuitable materials.
Trench backfill in the bedding zone and pipe zone should be placed and compacted in maximum
lifts of 6 inches. Trench backfill above the pipe zone should be placed and compacted with a
minimum of two lifts. A cover of at least 3 feet over the top of the pipe should be placed before
compacting with a hydraulic plate compactor (hoe-pack).
Trench backfill should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density at depths
greater than 4 feet below finished grade and to 95 percent of the maximum dry density within 4 feet
of finished grade or as recommended by the pipe manufacturer. Compaction is based on ASTM
D698, the standard proctor test.
STRUCTURAL FILL
The term structural fill refers to any material used for building pads, roadway embankments,
detention pond berms, foundations, retaining walls, slab-on-grade floors, sidewalks, pavements, and
other similar features. The on-site soil is suitable for use as structural fill provided it can be
moisture-conditioned, separated from unsuitable material, and compacted to the specified density.
The on-site soil should be placed in lifts with a maximum uncompacted thickness of 8 inches and
compacted to not less than 92 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698.
We recommend using imported granular material for structural fill if the on-site material cannot be
moisture conditioned. Imported granular material for structural fill should be pit-run or quarry-run
rock, crushed rock, crushed gravel, or sand. It should be fairly well-graded between coarse and fine
material and have less than 5 percent by weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 Sieve. The
material should be placed in lifts with a maximum uncompacted thickness of 12 inches and
compacted to not less than 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698.
Regardless of material or location, structural fill should be placed over firm, unyielding subgrade
prepared in accordance with the "Site Preparation" section of this report. The condition of the
subgrade should be verified by GCN representative before filling or construction begins. Fill soil
compaction should be verified by in-place density tests performed during fill placement so that
Page 9 of 16
adequacy of soil compaction efforts may be evaluated as earthwork progresses. When fill material is
inconsistent or when particle size is greater than 1 inches in diameter, fill placement should be
observed and compaction evaluated by observation of proof rolls or the operation of heavy rubber-
tire construction equipment.
Structural fill placed in areas where the existing ground slope exceeds 5H:1V should be placed on
native undisturbed soil on 2-foot-high horizontal benches as shown in Figure 5. At least three-inch
diameter drainpipes should be installed at the back of each horizontal bench to intercept
groundwater seepage. The drains should be constructed as described below in the sub-section titled
French Drains."
SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS
In our opinion, the proposed structures can be supported on continuous or isolated column footings
founded on new structural fill, or on undisturbed native silt.
Continuous wall and spread footings and retaining wall footings should be proportioned for an
allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf). For this allowable bearing
pressure, foundations should be at least 14 inches wide. Footing embedment should be as required
by the Oregon Structural Specialty Code.
The recommended allowable bearing pressure applies to the total of dead plus long-term live loads.
The allowable bearing pressure may be increased by a factor of 1/3 for short-term wind or seismic
loads.
Differential and total settlement of footings is anticipated to be less than inch and 1inch under
static conditions, respectively.
RETAINING WALLS & EMBEDDED BUILDING WALLS
The following recommendations assume that the walls are less than 12 feet in height, backfill
extends a distance behind the wall equal to the wall height, and that the backfill is well drained and
meets the requirements detailed above for imported granular material. Reevaluation of our
recommendations will be required if retaining walls vary from these assumptions.
In general, cantilever retaining walls yield under lateral loads and should be designed with active
lateral earth pressures. Restrained walls, such as embedded building walls and vaults should be
designed to withstand at-rest lateral earth pressures. We recommend using the lateral earth
pressures shown in Table 2. The loads are provided as equivalent fluid density (G). Diagrams
showing use of the lateral earth pressures in design calculations are provided in Figure 4.

Static lateral earth pressures acting on a retaining wall should be increased to account for surcharge
loadings resulting from any traffic, construction equipment, material stockpiles, or structures located
within a horizontal distance equal to the wall height. We have included lateral earth pressures for
surcharge loads up to 250 psf placed as a distributed load within the distance H from the wall face.
Retaining wall drains should consist of a perforated drainpipe embedded in a minimum 1-foot-wide
zone of free draining fill that is wrapped 360 degrees around by a geotextile filter that overlaps a
minimum of 6 inches. The geotextile filter should be placed between the granular materials and the
native soil to prevent movement of fines into the clean granular material. The geotextile filter should
be a non-woven fabric with an apparent opening size between the U.S. Standard No. 70 and No. 100
Sieve sizes and a water permittivity of greater than 1.5 sec-1.
Backfill for retaining walls should extend a horizontal distance of H from the back of wall, where H is
the embedded height, and compacted as recommended for structural fill, with the exception of
backfill placed immediately adjacent to walls. To reduce pressure on walls, backfill located within a
horizontal distance of 3 feet from retaining walls should be compacted to approximately 90% of the
maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM D698, and should be compacted in lifts less than 6
inches thick using hand-operated tamping equipment (such as a jumping jack or vibratory plate
compactor).
LATERAL RESISTANCE
Lateral loads of buildings and retaining walls can be resisted by passive earth pressure on the sides
of footings or by friction on the base of the footings but not both. We recommend using the
equivalent fluid pressures and coefficients of friction provided in Table 3 for design of foundations.

In order to develop the tabulated capacity for passive resistance using on-site silt, concrete must be
placed directly against the walls of the footing excavations. When using the value for imported
crushed rock, the rock should extend a minimum horizontal distance equal to half the footing
embedment and should be compacted to not less than 95% of the dry density as determined by
ASTM D698. Adjacent floor slabs, pavements, or the upper 12-inch depth of adjacent, unpaved
areas should not be considered when calculating passive resistance.
SEGMENTAL RETAINING WALLS
Six Segmental Retaining Walls (SRWs) are shown on the project plans that vary between about 2 and
7 feet in exposed height. Five of the walls will support upslope fill and will be reinforced within the
fill mass. The wall at the western end of SW Hume Street supports up to 6 feet of fill for the street. It
will likely not be possible to construct the wall with reinforcing in the right of way. An economical
SRW for this application, due to the relatively small wall length and height, is an Ultra Block gravity
wall.
Specific design recommendations for the SRWs are beyond the scope of this project investigation.
We offer the following general recommendations for both reinforced and gravity walls:
Both reinforced and gravity SRWs should be constructed using crushed rock as backfill. The rock
should be -inch minus crushed quarry rock. A perforated drainpipe should be located at the base
of the crushed rock backfill and the backfill should be protected from silt infiltration by a geotextile
separation fabric that wraps beneath, behind, and above the backfill zone. The segmental units
should be set on a 6-inch-thick leveling pad.
For reinforced walls, the reinforcing generally extends 60 to 70 percent of the wall height. Gravity
Ultra Block SRWs up to about 6 feet tall with traffic surcharge will likely extend 6 feet behind the wall
face. The distance includes a 1-foot thick drainage chimney behind the SRW units
SLAB-ON-GRADE FLOORS
Satisfactory subgrade support for lightly loaded building floor slabs can be obtained on the
undisturbed native soil or on engineered structural fill. A 4-inch-thick layer of imported granular
material should be placed and compacted over the prepared subgrade to assist as a capillary break.
A subgrade modulus of 100 pounds per cubic inch may be used to design the floor slab.
Imported granular material should be crushed rock or crushed gravel and sand that is fairly well-
graded between coarse and fine, contain no deleterious materials, have a maximum particle size of
Page 12 of 16
1 inches, and have less than 5 percent by weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 Sieve. The
imported granular material may be placed in one lift and should be compacted until well-keyed,
about 90 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698.
Vapor retarders are often required by flooring manufacturers to protect flooring and flooring
adhesives. However, vapor retarders can trap and hold excess moisture when installed in rainy
weather. We recommend following ACI 302.1, Chapter 3 with regard to installing a vapor retarder in
spaces that will be covered with flooring or sealers.

Much of the existing overland storm water flow from nearby properties will likely be captured and
controlled by planned street improvements. However, specific provision should be made to intercept
surface water and roof drainage from residential properties that abut the west property line.
For this purpose, we recommend that one or more cutoff trenches with detention swales be installed
in the western portion of the site that will remain undeveloped. The trenches should be constructed
as French Drains. For planning purposes, we suggest the trenches be extended to depth of 16 to 20
feet below the ground surface. The trench discharge should be directed to the storm drain system.
We expect that storm water facilities will include on-site detention with controlled discharge to the
natural drainage channels. There should be no on-site infiltration. Detention facilities should be
water tight.
We recommend that all roof drains be connected to a tightline leading to storm drain facilities.
Pavement surfaces and open space areas should be sloped such that surface water runoff is collected
and routed to suitable discharge points. Ground surfaces adjacent to buildings should be sloped to
facilitate positive drainage away from the buildings.
As a matter of good construction practice, we recommend that perimeter footing drains be installed
for all buildings. Perimeter drains should consist of perforated drainpipe embedded in a zone of
coarse sand or gravel containing not more than 2% passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 Sieve that is
wrapped in a non-woven geotextile filter. The pipe should be connected to a tightline leading to
storm drain facilities.
FRENCH DRAINS
French drains should be installed if groundwater seepage is encountered during construction. The
drains should consist of at least a 3-inch-diameter perforated pipe within an envelope of uniformly
graded drain rock with a maximum particle size of 3 inches, and less than 2 percent passing the U.S.
Standard No. 200 Sieve. The drain rock should extend at least 6 inches on all sides of the pipe.
The gravel envelope should extend upward to the top of the slope and should be wrapped with filter
fabric to reduce the migration of fines from the surrounding soil. The geotextile filter should be a
non-woven fabric with an AOS between the U.S. Standard No. 70 and No. 100 Sieve size and a water
permittivity of greater than 1.5 sec-1. Details for construction of french drains are provided in
Figure-7.

ASPHALT PAVEMENT
The pavement subgrade should be prepared in accordance with the previously described
recommendations described in the Site Preparation, Wet Weather Construction, and Structural
Fill sections of this report.
Our pavement recommendations are based on a subgrade stiffness using a California Bearing Ratio
value of 3. We do not have specific information on the frequency and type of vehicles that will use
the area; however, we have assumed that post-construction traffic conditions will consist of no more
than five heavy trucks per day.
Our analysis shows that a pavement section consisting of a minimum of 4 inches of AC pavement
underlain by a minimum of 10.0 inches of crushed rock base will be required to support anticipated
traffic loads over a design life of 20 years.
These thicknesses are intended to be the minimum acceptable and are based on the assumption that
construction will be completed during an extended period of dry weather. Construction of pavement
when subgrade soils are wet will require an increased thickness of crushed rock base.
The AC pavement should conform to Section 0074 of the Standard Specification for Highway
Construction, Oregon Highway Specifications. We recommend half-inch dense graded Hot Mix
Asphalt Concrete for Design Level 2 using Performance Grade Asphalt PG-64-22 for the Portland
Metropolitan area. The aggregate base should conform to Section 02630 of the specifications with
the addition that no more than 5 percent of the material by dry weight passes a U.S. Standard No.
200 Sieve.
Aggregate base may be placed in one lift and should be compacted to not less than 95 percent of
the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 1557. Aggregate base contaminated with soil
during construction should be removed and replaced before paving.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Since the project grading plan was not complete at the time we prepared this report, a number of the
recommendations herein are incomplete and subject to revision. Once the grading plan is complete,
please provide us with a copy so that we can provide more detailed recommendations.
Because the future performance and integrity of the structural elements will depend largely on
proper site preparation, drainage, fill placement, and construction procedures, monitoring and
testing (geotechnical special inspection) by experienced geotechnical personnel should be
considered an integral part of the design process. Consequently, we recommend that GCN be
retained to provide the following post-investigation services:
Review construction plans and specifications to verify that our design criteria presented in
this report have been properly integrated into the design.
Attend a pre-construction conference with the design team and contractor to discuss
geotechnical related construction issues.
Observe footing and floor slab subgrade before granular fill material or concrete is placed,
in order to verify the soil bearing capacity.
Page 14 of 16
Prepare a post-construction letter-of-compliance summarizing our field observations,

inspections, and test results.
LIMITATIONS
This report was prepared for the exclusive use of Riverview Abbey Mausoleum Company and
members of the design team for this specific project. It should be made available to prospective
contractors for information on the factual data only, and not as a warranty of subsurface conditions
such as those interpreted from the explorations and presented in the discussions of the subsurface
conditions included in this report.
The recommendations contained in this report are preliminary. They are based on information
derived through subsurface sampling. No matter how effective subsurface sampling may be
performed, variations between exploration location and the presence of unsuitable materials are
possible and cannot be determined until exposed during construction. Accordingly, GCN's
recommendations can be finalized only through GCN's observation of the project's earthwork
construction. GCN accepts no responsibility or liability for any party's reliance on GCN's preliminary
recommendations.
During construction observation, GCN will assign persons qualified to recognize unanticipated
conditions and observe and report on the contractor's quality of work in order to reduce the risk of
problems arising during construction. Note however that construction observation is not insurance,
nor does it constitute a warranty or guaranty of any type. GCNs professionals are present on site
solely to observe operations of the contractor, to form opinions about the adequacy of those
operations, and to report those opinions to our client.
It is our expectation that Brownstone Real Estate Group will retain competent contractors who are
knowledgeable and experienced in completing the work they are contracted to perform and that
contractors will perform irrespective of the presence of our representative or any testing we may
conduct. In all cases contractors are assumed to be fully responsible for quality control and quality
assurance. Failure by GCN or our client to detect deficiencies in the work or to inform contractor
of any deficiencies which may be discovered, shall not relieve any contractor from their
responsibility for performance of the end product.
Within the limitations of the scope, schedule and budget, the analyses, conclusions and
recommendations presented in this report were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
professional geotechnical engineering principles and practice in this area at the time this report was
prepared. We make no warranty, either express or implied.

EXPLORATION LOGS
Page 1 of 4
Field explorations and sampling were observed by an engineering geologist provided by our firm
who maintained a log of the materials disclosed during the course of the work. The following
subsections contain a detailed description of drilling, sampling, and field testing completed for this
project.
SOIL BORINGS
The subsurface conditions and materials at the site were investigated in August 2014 with four
borings, designated B-1 through B-4, and in February 2015 with four borings, designated B-5
through B-8. The locations of the borings are shown on Figure 2. The borings were advanced using
a track-mounted drill rig provided by Western States Drilling of Hubbard, Oregon. The borings were
drilled to depths ranging from 46.5 to 80 feet, using mud-rotary drilling methods.
Disturbed and undisturbed samples were obtained from the borings at 2.5- to 5-ft intervals of depth.
Disturbed samples were obtained using a standard split-spoon sampler. At the time of sampling, the
Standard Penetration Test was conducted. This test consists of driving a standard split-spoon
sampler into the soil a distance of 18 in. using a 140-lb hammer dropped 30 in. The number of
blows required to drive the sampler the last 12 in. is known as the standard penetration resistance,
or N-value. The N-values provide a measure of the relative density of granular soils, such as sand,
and the relative consistency, or stiffness, of cohesive soils, such as silt. The soil samples obtained in
the split-spoon sampler were carefully examined in the field and representative portions were saved
in airtight jars for further examination and physical testing in our laboratory.
Relatively undisturbed, 3.0-in.-O.D. Shelby tube samples were obtained by pushing the Shelby tube
into undisturbed soil with the hydraulic ram of the drill rig. The soils exposed in the end of the
Shelby tubes were classified at the site. The tubes were then sealed with rubber caps and tape to
preserve the natural moisture content. All samples were returned to the laboratory for further
examination and testing.
INCLINOMETER CASING
Upon completion of the drilling and sampling, an inclinometer casing was installed in boring B-6 and
boring B-8 to permit monitoring for horizontal movement. The casing was lowered into the open
borehole, and the annular space surrounding the casing was carefully backfilled with bentonite and
cement grout to within 1 foot of the ground surface and a steel monument cover was set flush with
the ground surface.
INCLINOMETER MEASUREMENTS
Inclinometer casing consists of plastic pipe with a pair of interior orthogonal slots, or grooves, that
permit a calibrated instrument to be lowered to the bottom of the casing while maintaining a
constant orientation within the horizontal plane. The vertical orientation, or inclination, of the casing
is determined by lowering the calibrated instrument to the bottom of the casing and then reading
the instrument at 2-ft intervals as it is withdrawn. If the ground surrounding the casing moves, the
casing will distort, and the change in the inclination of the casing is detected by the inclinometer.
The change in inclination is then converted to a horizontal displacement. Zones and rates of
Page 2 of 4
movement within the subsurface profile can be determined by comparing the results of successive
sets of inclinometer readings.
A baseline survey of the inclinometers was performed on March 9, 2015. Subsequent readings were
made on December 21, 2015; and February 19, 2016,and December 28, 2016. Results of the
inclinometer monitoring to date are summarized graphically of Figure B2 through B5.
STANDPIPE PIEZOMETER
Standpipe piezometers were installed in borings B-5 and B-7. The standpipe piezometers consist of
2-inch diameter PVC pipe with machine slotted screen in the lower 30 feet. The standpipe
piezometers were typically backfilled with Colorado sand to about 3 feet above the slotted zone and
the backfilled with bentonite chips to within 1 foot of the ground surface and a steel monument
cover was set flush with the ground surface. The depth to groundwater was measured in each of the
boreholes by lowering a vibrating wire piezometer and data logger inside the casing. The
groundwater elevation changes with time as well as daily rainfall totals are provided on Figure B1.
SOIL SAMPLING
During subsurface explorations, representative grab samples were obtained from a test pit using the
excavator bucket, and from the material displaced by a hand auger. Relatively undisturbed soil
samples were obtained using a standard 3-inch outside diameter Shelby tube, in general accordance
with ASTM D1587, Standard Practice for Thin-Walled Tube Sampling of Soils for Geotechnical
Purposes. A disturbed soil sample was obtained from a mechanical boring using a 2-inch outside
diameter split spoon sampler in general conformance with guidelines presented in ASTM D1586,
Standard Test Method for Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils.
Soil samples were sealed to retain moisture, and returned to our laboratory for additional
FIELD CLASSIFICATION
Soil samples were initially classified visually in the field. Consistency, color, relative moisture, degree
of plasticity, peculiar odors, and other distinguishing characteristics of the soil samples were noted.
The terminology used is described in the key and glossary that follow.
Page 3 of 4
The soil samples obtained during the field explorations were examined in our laboratory. The
physical characteristics of the samples were noted and the field classifications were modified where
necessary in accordance with terminology presented in the "Key to Boring and Test Pit Logs".
Representative samples were selected during the course of the examination for further testing. The
testing program included visual-manual classification, moisture content, and dry unit weight
determination. The testing procedures and results of the tests are summarized in the following
paragraphs. The phrase In general accordance with guidelines presented in means that certain
local and common descriptive practices and methodologies have been followed.
VISUAL-MANUAL CLASSIFICATION
Soil samples are classified in general accordance with guidelines presented in ASTM D2488,
Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure). The physical
characteristics of the samples are noted and the field classifications are modified, where necessary,
in accordance with ASTM terminology, though certain terminology that incorporates current local
engineering practice may be used. The term which best described the major portion of the sample is
used to describe the soil type.
NATURAL MOISTURE CONTENT
Natural moisture content is determined in general accordance with guidelines presented in ASTM
D2216, Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil and
Rock by Mass. The natural moisture content is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the weight of
water in a given amount of soil to the weight of solid particles.
DRY UNIT WEIGHT (IN-PLACE DRY DENSITY)
Dry unit weight (in-place dry density) testing is performed in general accordance with guidelines
presented in ASTM D2937, Standard Test Method for Density of Soil in Place by the Drive-Cylinder
Method. The dry unit weight is defined as the ratio of the dry weight of the soil sample to the
volume of that sample. The dry unit weight typically is expressed in pounds per cubic foot.

Attention: Steven Griffith
Subject: Landslide Hazard Study

GCN Project 1161
At your request GCN has completed a Landslide Hazard Study for the proposed Macadam Ridge
Subdivision located north of SW Taylors Ferry Road in Portland, Oregon. The purpose of the study
was to evaluate landslide hazards at the site and provide an opinion of the risk associated with
development of the site.
This report describes the work accomplished and provides our conclusions and recommendations
with respect to landslide hazards. This report was prepared in accordance with our Professional
Services Agreement dated December 20, 2016. Geotechnical design recommendations are
provided in a separate Geotechnical Investigation Report.
We previously evaluated the site in 2014 and 2016 for Brownstone Homes.
PROJECT INFORMATION
The approximate 14-acre, irregularly shaped property is currently undeveloped. It is located

north of Taylors Ferry Road and east of SW Ruby Terrace. The site relative to surrounding
features is shown in Figure 1.
The Central Channel of Stephens Creek borders the site to the north and two small tributaries of
Stevens Creek are located on or near the site, discharging into the central channel. The channels
are Ruby Creek on the west side and the Mausoleum Channel on the east side. Areas near
Stephens Creek and all of the property north of the creek will be left undeveloped. Existing
sanitary and storm sewer lines run in the channels of Ruby Creek and Stephens Creek. Discharge
from the Mausoleum Tributary are carried in pipes as they approach Stephens Creek.
The Riverview Abbey Mausoleum is located below and east of the site along Stephens Creek with
frontage along SW Taylors Ferry Road.
Emerio Design provided preliminary site plans that were prepared in January 2017. The drawings
show 23-lot subdivision of single family homes that will be accessed from Taylors Ferry Road. In
addition to buildable lots for the homes, the project will include underground utilities, public and
private roadways, and retaining walls. The planned site layout is shown in Figure 2.
Details of plans for the Stephens Creek Stormwater System are contained in a report prepared by
the City of Portland in 20131. Details of sanitary and storm drains and open drainageways are
provided online2.

Landslide Hazard Study GCN Project 1161
SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of this study is to evaluate potential geologic hazards to the developed project site.
Our study included review of published geologic hazard mapping, a site-specific field
reconnaissance of landform topography, evaluation of near surface soil conditions, and analytical
slope stability analysis. The report provides recommendations for development planning. The
following describes our specific scope of services:
Reviewed published geologic and geologic hazard mapping for the site including available
aerial photos and LiDAR imagery.
Conducted a reconnaissance of the site to observe conditions and characterize geologic
hazards that have been documented and those that might not have been documented
previously.
Prepared an interpretive map and accompanying text. The map shows areas or features that
can be taken advantage of in site design as well as areas that would be excluded from
development.
Coordinated and managed the field investigation including utility locates, site access
authorization, and access preparation.
Excavated three hand auger borings to depths of up to 12 feet below the existing ground
surface to evaluate near surface soil conditions.
Observe drilling of eight soil borings on the site using mud rotary drilling procedures to
depths of 35 to 80 feet below the ground surface. The borings were backfilled with
hydrated bentonite chips in accordance with Oregon Department of Water Resources
requirements.
Installed inclinometer casings in two borings. Inclinometer casing is a specialize pipe with
octagonal grooves that is grouted into the surrounding soil to monitor the long term
stability of embankments, slopes, and structures.
Construction of two standpipe piezometers for long-term monitoring of the groundwater
elevation.
Conducted Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) in general accordance with ASTM D1586
using a split spoon sampler. In general, SPT tests were made at 2.5-foot intervals within the
upper 10 feet of soil and at 5-foot intervals below 10 feet.
Maintained a log of soil, rock, and groundwater conditions encountered during the
explorations and obtain soil samples for laboratory testing. The samples obtained were
classified in the field and returned to our laboratory for further evaluation and testing. We
classified the soil in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Provide a written report summarizing our reconnaissance, site explorations, conclusions,
and preliminary geotechnical recommendations including:
A discussion on the regional geology and the seismic setting of the site that includes the
general geologic features of the surface and underlying deposits and tectonic faulting in the
area.
Conclusions and recommendations regarding landslide hazards and a quantitative analysis
of slope stability for the project and proposed improvements.

SITE CONDITIONS
The approximate 14 acre, irregularly shaped property is currently undeveloped. It is located

north of SW Taylors Ferry Road and east of SW Ruby Terrace. The Central Channel of Stephens
Creek borders the site to the north and two small tributaries of Stevens Creek are located on the
site south of the Central Channel. The Cemetery Channel of Stephens Creek is located south of
the site across SW Taylors Ferry Road. Areas near Stephens Creek and all of the property north of
the creek will be left undeveloped.
The following paragraphs describe the area geology, landslide mapping, and the results of our
site reconnaissance.
SITE GEOLOGY
The project site is located on the base a member of the Portland Hills, a northwest-southeast
trending topographic crest that separates the Portland and Tualatin Basins. The Portland Hills are
underlain by a thick sequence of basalt flows belonging to the Miocene age (about 9 to 16.5
million year old) Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG)3. The basalt is dense, finely crystalline rock
that is commonly fractured along blocky and columnar joints. Where highly weathered, the upper
surface of the basalt is altered to a distinctive, red-brown, clayey silt known as laterite or residual
soil.
Tectonic forces in the Late Miocene to Pliocene (1.6 to 9 Million years ago) uplifted and faulted
the basalt to form broad hills. Weathering and erosion have incised drainageways in the hills and
in some cases through the uplifted basalt.
In the Late Quaternary age (last 20 thousand years), the Willamette Valley and Tualatin Valley were
inundated by episodic glacial outburst floods that reached an elevation of about 400 feet above
mean sea level4. The floods repeatedly deposited gravel, silt, and sand with a total thickness of
several hundred feet in some areas. The deposits on the margins of the Portland Hills, where the
project site is located, are generally beds of horizontally layered silt and sand up to 3 feet thick.

The last of the many flooding events is believed to have occurred at the end of the last glacial
period 9,000 to 10,000 years ago.
Strong wind transported the silt and fine sand onto the surface of the Portland Hills, re-depositing
it as loess, forming a soil mantle that covers the rock on the upland portions the hills. The loess,
referred to as the Portland Hills Silt, is typically 5 to 15 feet thick on the slopes and ridgelines that
are above 400 feet. The loess is difficult to distinguish from the underlying water deposited silt5.
LANDSLIDE MAPPING
A comprehensive landslide inventory map of the Portland Hills has been compiled from LiDAR
imagery by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) 6,7. LiDAR
imagery provides high resolution digital elevations of the ground surface that reveal potential
landslide features. The features identified from LiDAR images are considered tentative
interpretations that must be verified by on-site reconnaissance. The on-site reconnaissance
combined with knowledge of the site geology is needed to validate the features identified by
LiDAR.
DOGAMI's LiDAR mapping in on or abutting the site vicinity is shown in Figure 3. The mapping
inventories seven features that lie within the project site. Slides that are thought to have occurred
more than 150 years ago are considered prehistoric (pre-history). Slides considered to be deeper
than 15 feet are considered deep. All of the landslides discussed below occur within or abut the
large landslide that underlies the site, Lake Oswego 368. DOGAMI designates all but two of the
landslides (Lake Oswego 85 and 86) as combined Earth Slide-Rotational and Earth Flows. The
features are discussed below in the order as numbered on the figure.
1. DOGAMI mapped the ancient landslide Lake Oswego 368 that underlies the project site. The
feature covers an area about 1,600-feet long and 600-feet wide. It is classified as a deep-seated
landslide (debris greater than 15 feet thick). An arc shaped headscarp lies upslope of the debris
feature. The headscarp is located under existing homes that front on SW Second Avenue. The
landslide is considered to be prehistoric or ancient, a landslide that occurred and has remained
stable for more than 150 years. DOGAMIs designation is based on the subdued and smoothed
shape of the headscarp and landslide mass.
2. Two small landslides, designated Lake Oswego 81and 82, are located on the side slopes of the
Ruby Creek drainageway in an area of the site that will not be developed. The landslides are
mapped as historic or less than 150 years old. Slide 81 on the north (far) side of the
drainageway is mapped as deep. Slide 82 on the south side is mapped as shallow.

3. Two small landslides, designated Lake Oswego 84 and 86, are located on the side slopes of the
Mausoleum Tributary drainageway, east of the site boundary. Slide 84 is mapped as a shallow
earth flow slide that is prehistoric. Slide 86 is a shallow slide that is historic.
4. Lake Oswego 85 lies outside the site boundary at the far downslope edge of Lake Oswego 368 at
the edge of the central channel of Stephens Creek. The landslide is about 450-feet long and
275-feet wide with an estimated thickness greater than 15 feet. It has been designated with a
moderate level of confidence as deep-seated, historic earth flow with movement occurring within
the last 150 years.
5. Lake Oswego 446 is located east of the project boundary, above the Riverview Abbey
Mausoleum. The slide is deep seated and prehistoric.
SITE RECONNAISSANCE
A series of field reconnaissance traverses were made in September 2013 and March 2014 and we
visited the site additional times for site explorations and data collection events. Our
reconnaissance included traverses of slopes within and adjacent to the proposed development
areas and on selected neighboring properties where possible. During our reconnaissance, we
examined geomorphic landforms, exposures of earth materials in creek channels and road cuts,
surface drainage patterns, vegetation, and the condition of existing structures and improvements.
We prepared for the field work by reviewing the bare earth LiDAR imagery prepared by DOGAMI
with topographic contours overlaid at 20 foot intervals8. We used the imagery as a base map for
compiling our observations.
The results of our field reconnaissance are summarized and illustrated in Figure 4. Features
shown on the map include our interpreted boundaries of the landslides identified by DOGAMI and
the approximate top-of-slope where drainageways have been incised into the inclined upland
areas, and the location of basalt bedrock exposures.
Cross sections showing our geologic interpretation of the site are provided in Figure 5 through
Figure 7.
GENERAL SURFACE CONDITIONS
The approximate 14-acre site includes gently sloped upland areas incised by two mapped
drainageways and the gently flowing Stephens Creek that drains areas extending some two miles
upstream to the Hillsdale neighborhood.
The site is bordered by existing residential development on the north, west and south, and by the
Riverview Abbey Mausoleum on the east. Right-of-way for unimproved Hume Street also borders
the site on the south. A sanitary sewer pipe runs the length of Ruby Creek. Sanitary sewer and
storm drain pipelines run through Stephens Creek. The sanitary sewer pipe in Ruby Creek is
reinforced concrete pipe. Sections of the pipe have become separated, likely from uncontrolled
stormwater that originates at SW Ruby Terrace and is discharged from a pipe just below the hear
do the drainageway.

Page 5 of 17
Vegetation on the site includes a canopy of widely-spaced deciduous trees, few evergreens, and
shrubbery at isolated breaks in the tree cover. Remnant tree stumps and overgrown logging
roads are present on the site from logging of the property many decades in the past. The ground
surface is covered primarily with English Ivy and low brush. The near surface soil includes a layer
of forest topsoil with a capping layer of duff and tree liter.
Elevations on the site range from about 325 feet in upland areas to about 155 feet at Stephens
Creek. On the west, the bottom of Stephens Creek forms a broad, gentle, alluvial plain with a
meandering channel. On the east, the alluvial plain ends and the creek becomes a narrow,
incised channel eventually flowing into a culvert beneath Taylors Ferry Road.
Basalt bedrock is exposed in the creek channel at the middle portion of the site. The basalt is
hard with fractures and joints formed by tectonic forces. Similar basalt is exposed in the near
vertical cut made into the hillside to accommodate Taylors Ferry Road near the northeast corner
of the property.
SITE DEVELOPMENT AREA GENERAL TOPOGRAPHY
The area of the site that will be developed is located on a gently inclined topographic bench. The
average slope inclination is about 12H:1 (Horizontal to Vertical) or about 5 degrees. The bench
appears from LiDAR imaging to be a slide flow mass that came to rest following an ancient
landslide and is easily identified as landslide Lake Oswego 368 per DOGAMI nomenclature.
LOCALIZED LANDSLIDES ON TRIBUTARY CHANNELS
The lobe of Lake Oswego 368 has been incised by two tributary drainages of the Stephens Creek
Central Canyon; the Ruby Creek drainage on the north, and the Mausoleum Tributary on the
south. These drainageways are marked with moderately inclined natural embankments created
by overland stormwater flow. The slopes are inclined downward at about 2H:1V over a distance
of about 40 to 180 feet and range from about 20 feet to 90 feet tall.
The head scarp of individual landslides partly describes the top of the individual drainages.
Smaller slumps are not individually depicted.
The slope angles on the sides of the drainages average about 2H:1V (27 degrees). Red irregular
lines on Figure 2 and Figure 4 show our roughly estimated top of slope line for each channel. The
estimates are inferred from the LiDAR imagery and generally coincide with the limits of small
shallow-seated landslides that have been mapped generally by DOGAMI.
The landslides range from about 50 to 100 feet in width and extend from the top of the slope to
the drainage bottom. The landslides generally include head scarps that are 6- to 12-feet high.
The slopes immediately below the head scarps are inclined at about 1H:1V (45 degrees) and have
concave faces. The landslides include debris slopes below the head scarps that are irregular and
hummocky.
Some of the head scarps have fresh, sharp angular edges, gaps in tree cover and tilted or downed
trees indicating failure within the last 150 years. Others exhibit rounded features and tree
growth consistent with a failure more than 150 years in the past.
Page 6 of 17
Based on the degree to which head and lateral scarps have degraded and the condition of trees
on the scarps, we estimate the shallow landslides in the drainage channels are decades to
hundreds of years old.
The concave slopes below the landslide typically include a flatter bench at mid-slope consistent
with rotational slumping and a mounded toe slope formed by flowing slide debris.
UNMAPPED LANDSLIDE
We identified a landslide in the Mausoleum Tributary drainage that is not identified in DOGAMI's
LiDAR mapping. The landslide is about 70-foot-long by 250-foot-wide. The slide lies mostly
outside the property boundary of the project site. The lateral edge encroaches a few feet past the
east property boundary of the site and will be located beyond the property line of Lot 19. The
slide is a slump failure with a 12-foot-high head scarp inclined at about 1H:1V. It includes an
undulating mid-slope bench and a mounded toe slope. We estimate that landslide debris is on
the order of 15 feet thick. This landslide has a northward direction of upslope regression. It is
directed away from the boundary of the site and the planned improvements.
LANDSLIDE LAKE OSWEGO 85
Lake Oswego 85 is located at the far downslope edge of Lake Oswego 368. The slide is about
350-foot long by 250-feet wide. The landslide extends from the top of the slope to the channel
of Stephens Creek and is characterized by an approximate 25-foot-deep concave shaped slope
face that is hummocky and irregular. There are a series of small benches with secondary
scarplets within the slide mass. The head scarp is about 12-feet high and is inclined at an angle
between 1.5H:1V and 3H:1V.
The head scarp of Lake Oswego 85 is subdued and rounded, consistent with a long period of
erosional degradation that has occurred since the initial landslide event. We consider the head
scarp and downslope debris to be several hundred years old. Based on field reconnaissance, we
disagree with DOGAMIs general classification of Lake Oswego 85 as a historic landslide, it is our
opinion that Lake Oswego 85 is a prehistoric landslide.
SURFACE WATER FLOW
We observed an area of concentrated surface runoff in a zone about 100 feet wide as shown in
Figure 2. Discharge pipes on the upslope residential lots properties abutting the project on its
west site boundary discharge onto the project site.
UNSTABLE FILL
We observed an area of soft fill located on the north side of the residential lot 7827 Ruby Terrace.
The property and a portion of the fill lies at the head of the Ruby Creek drainage. The north side
of the house sits on the fill. The fill occupies a roughly 50-foot-wide by 50-foot-long area at the
head of the Ruby Creek drainageway and appears to be up to 15 feet thick. The fill was likely
placed to fill in the head of the drainage to support the home and adjacent roadway.
We were told by the property owner that the north end of the house and landscaping beyond have
settled. In addition, a sinkhole had formed in the back yard of the home about 6 feet away from
the foundation. The location of the fill is shown in Figure 4.
Page 7 of 17
SW RUBY TERRACE STORMWATER FLOW

Stormwater flow from SW Ruby Terrace enters a catch basin on the far side (west side) of the
street adjacent to the head of Ruby Creek. The stormwater is carried through a pipe to a point
opposite the mid-point of the lot discussed above where the sinkhole and soft fill is located. The
drainageway is retrograding to the south at the point of discharge. There is no detention in the
stormwater system that directs flow to Ruby Creek from SW Ruby Terrace and the adjacent streets
that contribute to the flow.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface materials were investigated in March and July 2014 and February 2015, with eight soil
borings, B-1 through B-8, and two hand-auger borings, HA-1 and HA-2. Inclinometer casings were
installed in borings B-6 and B-8. Standpipe piezometers were installed in borings B-5 and B-7.
The field exploration and laboratory testing programs and exploration logs are provided in
Attachment A.
For the purpose of discussion, the materials disclosed by the explorations have been grouped
into the following major units based on their physical characteristics and engineering properties.
FOREST TOPSOIL
We encountered forest topsoil at the ground surface that extends to depths of 1 to 1 feet bgs.
The topsoil is soft to medium stiff silt with organics that includes a duff layer in the upper few
inches and tree roots up to 4 inches in diameter.
NATIVE SILT
The site is underlain by native undisturbed medium stiff to very stiff silt with trace to some fine
sand. The soil is identified geologically as Willamette Silt.
The silt on the site is 30 to 50 feet thick based on our borings and on exposures of basalt along
Stephens Creek and Taylors Ferry Road. The silt rests on a rock ledge that is inclined gently to
the northeast at about 6 degrees.
The moisture content of samples obtained from the Willamette Silt ranged from 7 to 41 percent
and the dry unit weight ranged from 82 to 98 pounds per cubic foot (pcf).
Columbia River Basalt underlies the Willamette Silt unit. Basalt is exposed at the ground surface
along the channel of Stephens Creek and in the near-vertical road cut adjacent to Taylors Ferry
Road at the northeast corner of the site. The basalt is generally moderate (RH-2) to hard (RH-3),
vesicular, and exhibits moderate fracturing and jointing.
The upper 10 to 15 feet of the basalt is decomposed to residual soil due to weathering. The
residual soil is clay to clayey silt with trace sand, fragments of weathered basalt, and relict
structures including vesicles, fracture planes, and joints. The moisture content of select soil
samples obtained from the residual soil ranged from 26 to 58 percent.
GROUNDWATER MONITORING AND SURFACE WATER
We encountered groundwater in all of the borings that varied from about 2 to 27 feet below the
ground surface when the explorations were made. Piezometers installed on the site in in borings
B-6 and B-8 on March 15, 2015 have recorded data for a period of about 21 months. The
Page 8 of 17
locations of B-6 and B-8 are shown in Figure 2. The recorded groundwater depth and rainfall data
for the site area is provided in Figure B-1.
Boring B-7 is located near the western site boundary about a third of the way across the site from
northwest to southeast. This is an upslope location that appears to react rapidly to rainfall events
and where groundwater is near the surface throughout the year. Groundwater has varied in B-7
from about 2 to 14 feet below the ground surface.
In this location, the subsurface soil units are subject to overland surface water flow from at least
three sources; 1) overland flow from areas upslope of the project site, 2) overland flow from
residential lots along the western property boundary that discharge to the site, and 3) subsurface
water from upland areas.
Boring B-5 is located above the incised channel of Ruby Creek. Groundwater in this location is
deeper than the upland location of B-7 and does not react as rapidly to rainfall events.
Groundwater elevation has varied between about 21 and 28 feet below the ground surface. The
groundwater depth reflects the location of the subsurface soil units to the zero-head channel of
Ruby and Stephens creek.
We observed discharge pipes on the residential lots that abut the project site along the west. We
observed an area of concentrated surface water flow a zone about 100 feet wide in the vicinity of
hand auger HA-1. The location is also shown in Figure 4.
SLOPE INCLINOMETERS
We installed inclinometer casing in borings B-6 and B-8 in March 2015. The location of the
borings is shown in Figure 2.
Inclinometer casing is a special purpose pipe used in inclinometer installations. It performs three
functions: 1) maintains access for the inclinometer probe, allowing it to obtain subsurface
measurements; 2) controls the orientation of the probe via internal grooves; and 3) conforms to
movement of the surrounding ground. Traversing inclinometers are used with inclinometer
casing to monitor subsurface movement and deformation.
Slope inclinometer measurements in Borings B-6 and B-8 demonstrate that the ancient landslide
has remained stable over the monitoring period of nearly 2 years. Additional measurements can
be made in the future to extend the monitoring period. The cumulative measurements are
provided in Figures B-2 and B-3.
LIQUEFACTION EVALUATION
The potential for liquefaction at the site was evaluated using the simplified procedure as
described by Idriss and Boulanger (2008). As required by Section 11.8.3 of ASCE 7-10,
liquefaction and lateral spreading susceptibility was evaluated for the MCE-level peak ground
acceleration (PGAM) of 0.46 g. In our analysis, we used a design earthquake magnitude of 6.8,
based on the 2008 USGS interactive deaggregations, which forms the basis of seismic ground
motion maps provided in ASCE 7-10. We also evaluated the liquefaction potential using a design
earthquake magnitude of 9.0 and a peak ground acceleration of 0.15 to 0.2 g to account for the
Cascadia subduction zone event. For the purpose of our liquefaction studies, we have assumed
the groundwater level ranges from approximately 6 to 20 feet below the ground surface. Our
Page 9 of 17
preliminary analysis conservatively assumes the soft to medium stiff silt below the groundwater
table is susceptible to liquefaction.
LIQUEFACTION INDUCED SETTLEMENT
We estimated the liquefaction-induced free-field settlement using empirical methodologies
developed by Tokimatsu and Seed (1987) and Ishihara and Yoshimine (1992). The empirical
methods are based on case histories of areas that had undergone liquefaction. Using these
empirical methodologies, we estimate liquefaction-induced settlement as a result of the MCER
earthquake could be on the order of about 7 inches. We estimate liquefaction-induced settlement
as a result of a Cascadia subduction zone event could be on the order of 5 to 7 inches.
These estimates would represent the upper and lower bounds of potential liquefaction settlement
at the site. Based on the average depth to potentially liquefiable layers and average thickness of
the non-liquefiable layer at the ground surface, it is unlikely that these settlements will manifest
at the ground surface.
SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS
For the purposes of this study we have evaluated the three cross-sections shown in Figure 2. We
evaluated the ancient landslide identified by DOGAMI as Lake Oswego 368 that is shown in Figure
3. The slope stability analysis of the ancient landslide was performed based on the cross section
A-A' in Figure 5. We also evaluated slope stability of cross-section B-B' and cross-section C-C' as
shown on Figure 6 and Figure 7, respectively.
All three cross-sections were evaluated for static and dynamic conditions. Back-analysis was
performed on the ancient landslide shown on cross-section A-A'. Retrogressive stability analysis
was performed on cross-section B-B' and cross-section C-C' to aid in slope setback
recommendations.
The stability of the existing slope conditions and the impact of the proposed grading was
analyzed by modeling the slope using the computer program SLOPEW, a software package
developed by GEO-SLOPE International, Ltd., of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The static equilibrium of the model was evaluated using Spencer's method of slices, which
satisfies both force and moment equilibrium while assuming that resultant inter-slice forces are of
constant orientation throughout the sliding mass. This method of analysis is valid for circular and
non-circular failure surfaces. The factor of safety against sliding is defined as the ratio of the
forces resisting movement to the forces driving movement of the landslide. Factors of safety less
than 1 infer that the model is not in equilibrium, and movement is likely to occur. Slopes with
factors of safety greater than about 1.3 are generally considered to have an acceptable risk
against slope failure.
STATIC ANALYSIS
In our analysis, we evaluated a cross section through the primary landslide axis, shown as section
A-A in Figure 2. We generated the cross section using topographic data provided by LiDAR and
OTAK. The cross section includes shallow fill that will be placed on the site during construction.
We modeled groundwater elevation to a position of 6 feet below the ground surface for the entire
site. Electronic data collection over the period of April 2015 through February 2016 showed that
Page 10 of 17
groundwater elevation varied from about 3 to 14 feet bgs in the central area of the site and from
about 22 to 27 feet bgs at the top of slope above Stephens Creek.
We used an internal friction angle of 32 degrees in our analysis with a cohesion equal to zero for
the silt for drained conditions. A fully specified failure surface was used to model the ancient
landslide failure surface we assumed is at the interface of the residual basalt and the overlying
silt. The factor of safety for a static slope failure is estimated to be about 4.5. The results of our
static analysis are shown on Figure 8.
We also performed a back analysis using a fully-specified failure surface to model the ancient
landslide failure at the interface of the residual basalt and the overlying silt. To estimate the
shearing resistance at failure 10,000 years ago, we estimated the shear strength and performed
slope stability analysis and adjusted the shear strengths and repeated until the calculated factor
of safety was equal to 1.0. We back-calculated an internal friction angle of about 8 degrees for a
drained analysis and an undrained shear strength of about 420 pounds per square foot for a total
stress analysis.
Willamette silt normally exhibits an internal friction angle in the range of 28 to 33 degrees.
Average undrained shear strength from Standard Penetration Test blow counts performed at this
site was about 0.5 tons per square foot.
The results of our quantitative analyses confirm our conclusion based on site reconnaissance, and
review of topographic mapping that this ancient, massive landslide feature is not active. The
analysis further confirms the opinion provided by DOGAMI in their mapping of Lake Oswego 368
that the landslide is not active.
PSUEDO STATIC (SEISMIC) ANALYSIS
A pseudo static analysis represents the effects of earthquake shaking by accelerations that create
inertial forces. These forces act in the horizontal and vertical directions at the centroid of each
slice. The ratio of a/g is a dimensionless coefficient k. In SLOPE/W, the inertial effect is specified
as kh and kv coefficients. These coefficients can be considered as a percentage of g. A kh
coefficient of 0.2, for example, means the horizontal pseudo static acceleration is 0.2g. We
estimated the seismic coefficient described above as a percentage of the PGAM for the site
according to Blake and others (2002).
We performed a pseudo static analysis on each cross-section using liquefied residual strengths to
model the potentially liquefied soil layers. The residual strength ratios were estimated from SPT
N-values to obtain residual strengths, Sr, using Idriss and Boulanger (2007). We used a kh = 0.15
for our pseudo static analysis and an average residual strength of Sr = 325 pounds per square
foot.
To estimate the depth and the thickness of the liquefied layers for each model we averaged the
depth of the center of the liquefiable layer and the thickness in each boring from out liquefaction
analysis. These were then adjusted for local conditions for the borings closest to the cross-section
being evaluated. The results of the pseudo-static stability analysis for each of the three cross-
sections, using estimated liquefied residual strengths, are provided on Figure 11 through Figure
13.

RETROGRESSIVE SLOPE STABILITY

To evaluate the risk to the development due to instability of drainageway slopes we ran a series of
static drained slope stability analyses on cross-section B-B' and cross-section C-C'. The results of
our retrograde analysis are provided on Figure 14 and Figure 15.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The site is located near a sensitive watershed and located atop the debris flow of an ancient
landslide. Because of these conditions, special care is warranted in evaluating the site for the
proposed development. Within this framework, we have conducted an evaluation of the site
which has included the following elements:
Review of mapped geologic and landslide hazard conditions
An in-depth site reconnaissance
Site explorations that included installation of groundwater measuring piezometers and

slope indicator casing for measuring slope movement.
Laboratory testing of onsite soil
Slope stability analysis of Lake Oswego 388, the ancient landslide and slopes flanking the
drainageways of Ruby Creek and the Mausoleum Tributary
Review of the as shown in the January 2017 revised site plan prepared by Emerio Design
We conclude that the proposed development can be constructed as envisioned and will not
adversely impact the Stephens Creek watershed or produce hazards to life safety related to the
planned improvements. The central concerns for the project are discussed below;
ANCIENT LANDSLIDE LAKE OSWEGO 368
Lake Oswego 368 is one many ancient landslides located in the area that are the result of
catastrophic flooding associated with the Missoula Floods. The land surface of the entire Portland
area was dramatically altered by this catastrophic flooding.9
The sequence of floods over several thousand years and inter-flood aeolian deposition of silt onto
the hillslopes of the hills laid the foundation for the slides to occur. Massive flooding removed
the toe of the slopes that failed, either on the inflow or the outflow of thick mud, sand, and rock
filled water. Contributing the widespread land failure, creating even more destruction, was the
phenomenon of rapid draw down, where sudden loss of support from receding floodwater caused
otherwise stable slopes to fail. The failure of Lake Oswego 368 was so complete that the
resulting flow of saturated soil came to rest with a nearly flat surface, 4.75 degrees average
across the proposed development site.
Although the conditions that caused the failure at Lake Oswego 368 will not be repeated for
hundreds of centuries, there are other contemporary conditions that suggest reactivation of the
landslide is an unlikely event. Primarily, the inclination of the land surface, nearly flat, 4.75

degrees on average. Second, there is little to no experience of landside occurrence in formations

of Willamette silt when the land surface is inclined as gently as 5 degrees.
SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF LAKE OSWEGO 368
While there is no on-site evidence of seismically induced slope failure that has reactivated Lake
Oswego 368 since its deposition some 9,000 years in the past, we are compelled to conduct a
slope stability analysis to determine the factor of safety against slope failure. Our analysis
included both static conditions and seismic conditions that considered additional loading due to
ground motions in combination with reduced soil strength due to liquefaction.
The results of the analyses are provided in Figure 8 and Figure 9. The slope stability modeling
shows that the factor of safety against slope failure for Lake Oswego 368 are 4.5 and 1.1 for the
static and pseudo static analyses respectively.
We conclude there is little risk of slope failure or reactivation of landsliding of Lake Oswego 368
due to static or seismic conditions.
DRAINAGEWAY SIDE SLOPES
The side slopes of Ruby Creek and the Mausoleum Tributary show signs of landsliding due to
over steepening resulting from long term erosion. The general term for this type of landsliding is
retrograde. Factors contributing to retrograde failures are flooding at the base and overland
flow of stormwater in drainageways. The following paragraphs discuss the several aspects of the
drainageway side slopes.
STEPHENS CREEK CHANNEL CONDITIONS
The Stephens Creek Stormwater System Plan1 discusses topography, geology, and channel
conditions in Stevens Creek and its tributary streams. The report states that the there is no
known historic flooding of Stephens Creek and there are no mapped flood hazards areas along
Stephens Creek mainstream or tributaries.
The reports sediment delivery section (LOS F8) discusses the Rosgen Geomorphological Stream
Classification System, stating that the upper reaches of Stephens Creek are classified as Rosgen
Type A & B. These two types of channels have a high potential for sediment transport.
The Central Channel of Stephens Creek along the project site is part of the 21 percent of the
channel that is classified as Type C. Channels classified as Type C are typified by meandering,
riffles, pools, and point bar formations and are depositional rather than erosional. Essentially, the
part of Stephens Creek that lies below the project site is not considered to be subject to flooding,
explaining the lack of flooding in the historical record.
Section LOS G2 of the report discusses the stream Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) relative to
public infrastructure. The report states that BEHI is low to moderate for streambanks adjacent to
sanitary infrastructure, pointing out that sanitary pipes parallel the channel of Ruby Creek.
We conclude that there is little to no likelihood that the sides lopes of the Stephens Creek
drainageways will made unstable due to flooding at the base.
STEPHENS CREEK WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT
The Stephens Creek Stormwater Systems Plan provides general information about ongoing and
planned improvements in the watershed. These include efforts to direct, capture and detain
Page 13 of 17
precipitation including that attributed to approximately 5 percent of the land area that is
occupied by public right of way that does not at present control stormwater. Combined with the
planned on-site control of stormwater, control of stormwater from SW Ruby Terrace that
contributes uncontrolled flow to Ruby Creek, and improved tree canopy that will be produced by
development, the overall channel flow to the drainageways is expected to be gradually reduced.
Historic retrograde that has occurred in the past will decrease due to the planned measures.
We conclude that there is little to no likelihood that the sides lopes of the Stephens Creek
drainageways will made unstable due to increasing overland stormwater flow.
DRAINAGEWAY CHANNEL SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS
Site specific slope stability analysis was completed for Ruby Creek and the Mausoleum Tributary
using for cross sections B-B and C-C respectively. The cross sections were chosen to typify the
actual drainageways. Our analysis included both static conditions and seismic conditions that
considered additional loading due to ground motions and reduced soil strength due to
liquefaction.
The results of the analyses are provided in Figure 10 through Figure 13. The slope stability
modeling shows that the factor of safety against slope failure in the Stephens Creek drainageways
are 2.0 and 1.1 for the static and pseudo static analyses respectively for Cross Section B-B and
1.7 and 1.1 for the static and pseudo static analyses respectively for Cross Section C-C.
We conclude there is little risk of drainageway slope failure due to static or seismic conditions.
ENBANKMENT RETROGRESSION
The embankment retrogression analysis of the drainageway side slopes used the critical cross
sections B-B and C-C. The analysis model was established to show the upslope extent of trial
slip surfaces. The analysis shows that the critical slip surfaces at Factors of Safety of 1.5 do not
encroach into the area of planned site improvements which includes homes, and public
infrastructure.
LIQUEFACTION
Areas of the site that are not near the drainageways of Ruby Creek and the Mausoleum Tributary
are underlain by perched groundwater that is near the surface over most of the year. We expect
that much of the groundwater source is upland flow from the hill area above the site.
Our preliminary triggering analysis of for the soil column indicates that some subsurface layers
may be subject to liquefaction during a design event earthquake and that liquefaction settlement
up to 5 to 7 inches is a possibility for units that are at depths between 20 feet and 40 feet below
the ground surface.
As detailed below, and in the accompanying project Geotechnical Evaluation, we recommend that
a cutoff trench be placed on the west side of the project to intercept the upland sourced
groundwater flow. We expect that the combination of cutoff trenches, drainage through on-site
sanitary sewer and storm drain utility trenches, and on-site control of precipitation will lower
groundwater to about 15 feet below the ground surface at the upper end of the site. Lowering of
the groundwater to this level reduces the total liquefiable layer thickness and provides a
consistent thickness of non-liquefiable stable soil that reduces the risk to site improvements from
surface manifestation of the underlying strains that may be produced at depth.

SPECIFIC SITE DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Specific recommendations for design and construction of the Macadam Ridge Planned
Development are provided in our accompanying Geotechnical Evaluation. The following
generalized design recommendations relative to landslide hazards.
CONTROL OF SHALLOW GROUNDWATER
Due to the presence of shallow groundwater and discharge of stormwater from adjacent
properties we recommend that a deep cutoff trench be constructed near the west boundary of the
site. Review of the site plans prepared by Emerio design shows that a trench is planned along the
west side that will vary between about 16 and 20 feet below grade. More detailed discussion of
the drain is provided in the accompanying Geotechnical Design Report.
We recommend that consideration also be given to construction the main sanitary trench in Street
A (preliminary name) with trench line sub drains beneath the sanitary pipe. The placement of
subdrains would aid in overall removal of subsurface water from the site. Subdrains have
successfully been employed within the right-of-way in other areas within the City of Portland
where utilities are steeply inclined and subsurface groundwater is an element of site performance.
SW RUBY TERRACE STORMWATER
Stormwater from SW Ruby Terrace is currently intercepted by a catch basin on the west side of the
road. The catch basin discharges to a storm drain pipe that in turn discharges to Ruby Creek
near the head of the drainageway. The location of the discharge coincides with the location of
retrograde widening of the drainageway to the south, encroaching on the boundary of a
residential lot. A sanitary sewer pipe in Ruby Creek has been exposed due to the stormwater
flow.
The stormwater from SW Ruby Creek should be detained or otherwise controlled such that it does
not create further retrograde of the slope, down cutting of the drainageway, or continued
degradation of the sanitary sewer pipe.
PERMANENT SLOPES
Permanent cut and fill slopes on the site can be constructed using on-site soil at grades up to
2H:1V (Horizontal to Vertical). Construction of slopes steeper than 2H:1V will likely require
engineered retaining walls.
Structures and paved surfaces should be located at least 5 feet from the slope face. Cut and fill
slopes should be planted with appropriate vegetation to provide protection against erosion.
The slopes should be planted with dense vegetation to provide protection against erosion.
SLOPE SETBACK CRITERIA
To limit the risk of future slope instability affecting the new development, we recommend all
building foundations and underground utilities be founded below a 2H to 1V plane that extends
upward from the existing relatively steep drainage ravines. In our opinion, this will reduce the risk
Page 15 of 17
to future structures from future slope instability to acceptable levels. The results of our slope
stability studies were considered in evaluating andlor quantifying the basis for this
recommendation.
LIMITATIONS
This report was prepared for the exclusive use of Riverview Abbey Mausoleum Company and
members of the design team for this specific project. The scope is limited to the specific project
and location described herein, and our description of the project represents our understanding of
the significant aspects of the project relevant to the referenced design and construction of
foundations, roadway cuts and fills, and utilities. In the event that any changes in the location of
these elements as outlined in this report are planned, we should review the changes and modify
or reaffirm the conclusions and recommendations of this report in writing.
As discussed in this report, portions of the site have been modified by ancient landslide activity.
In our opinion, construction of the recommended drainage improvements associated with the
project will serve to improve the overall slope stability of the site. However, it must be
acknowledged that there is some inherent risk associated with development in areas modified by
ancient landslide activity. As discussed in our meetings with the project team, it is our opinion
that the risk of future slope instability in the proposed development areas that have been
modified by ancient landslide activity is low, assuming our design and construction
recommendations are followed.
The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based on the data obtained
from the subsurface explorations made at the locations indicated on Figure 2, our site
reconnaissance, and from other sources of information discussed in this report. In the
performance of subsurface investigations, specific information is obtained at specific locations at
specific times. However, it is acknowledged that variations in soil conditions may exist between
boring and test pit locations. This report does not reflect any variations which may occur between
these explorations. The nature and extent of variation may not become evident until construction.
If, during construction, subsurface conditions different from those encountered in the
explorations are observed or encountered, we should be advised at once so that we can observe
and review these conditions and reconsider our recommendations where necessary.

KEY TO BORING AND TEST PIT LOGS
EXPLORATION LOGS
Page 1 of 4
Subsurface materials were investigated in March and August 2014 and February 2015, with eight
soil borings, B-1 through B-8 and two hand-auger borings, HA-1and HA-2. Inclinometer casings
were installed in borings B-6 and B-8. Standpipe piezometers were installed in borings B-5 and B-
7. Subsurface conditions were
The field explorations were observed by an engineering geologist provided by our firm, who
maintained a log of the materials disclosed during the course of the work. The following
subsections contain a detailed description of drilling, sampling, and field testing completed for
this project.
SOIL BORINGS
Conditions and materials at the site were investigated in August 2014 with four borings,
designated B-1 through B-4, and in February 2015 with four borings, designated B-5 through B-8.
The locations of the borings are shown on Figure 2. The borings were advanced using a track-
mounted drill rig provided by Western States Drilling of Hubbard, Oregon. The borings were
drilled to depths ranging from 46.5 to 80 feet, using mud-rotary drilling methods.
HAND-AUGER BORINGS
Two hand auger borings were drilled on March 21, 2014 using a 2 inch diameter hand auger to
depths up to 12 feet below the ground surface at the locations shown in Figure 2. Soil samples
were obtained for laboratory testing of moisture content and fines content. Descriptions of the
field explorations, exploration logs, and laboratory procedures are included in Attachment A.
INCLINOMETER CASING
Upon completion of the drilling and sampling, an inclinometer casing was installed in boring B-6
and boring B-8 to permit monitoring for horizontal movement. The casing was lowered into the
open borehole, and the annular space surrounding the casing was carefully backfilled with
bentonite and cement grout to within 1 foot of the ground surface and a steel monument cover
was set flush with the ground surface.
INCLINOMETER MEASUREMENTS
Inclinometer casing consists of plastic pipe with a pair of interior orthogonal slots, or grooves,
that permit a calibrated instrument to be lowered to the bottom of the casing while maintaining a
constant orientation within the horizontal plane. The vertical orientation, or inclination, of the
casing is determined by lowering the calibrated instrument to the bottom of the casing and then
reading the instrument at 2-ft intervals as it is withdrawn. If the ground surrounding the casing
moves, the casing will distort, and the change in the inclination of the casing is detected by the
inclinometer. The change in inclination is then converted to a horizontal displacement. Zones and
rates of movement within the subsurface profile can be determined by comparing the results of
successive sets of inclinometer readings.
A baseline survey of the inclinometers was performed on March 9, 2015. Subsequent readings
were made on December 21, 2015; and February 19, 2016. Results of the inclinometer
monitoring to date are summarized graphically of Figure B2 through B5.
Page 2 of 4
STANDPIPE PIEZOMETER
Standpipe piezometers were installed in borings B-5 and B-7. The standpipe piezometers consist
of 2-inch diameter PVC pipe with machine slotted screen in the lower 30 feet. The standpipe
piezometers were typically backfilled with Colorado sand to about 3 feet above the slotted zone
and the backfilled with bentonite chips to within 1 foot of the ground surface and a steel
monument cover was set flush with the ground surface. The depth to groundwater was measured
in each of the boreholes by lowering a vibrating wire piezometer and data logger inside the
casing. The groundwater elevation changes with time as well as daily rainfall totals are provided
on Figure B1.
SOIL SAMPLING
Relatively undisturbed soil samples were obtained using a standard 3-inch outside diameter
Shelby tube, in general accordance with ASTM D1587, Standard Practice for Thin-Walled Tube
Sampling of Soils for Geotechnical Purposes. Disturbed soil samples were obtained from the
mechanical borings using a 2-inch outside diameter split spoon sampler in general conformance
with guidelines presented in ASTM D1586, Standard Test Method for Standard Penetration Test
(SPT) and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils.
Soil samples were sealed to retain moisture, and returned to our laboratory for additional
FIELD CLASSIFICATION
Soil samples were initially classified visually in the field. Consistency, color, relative moisture,
degree of plasticity, peculiar odors, and other distinguishing characteristics of the soil samples
were noted. The terminology used is described in the key and glossary that follow.
Page 3 of 4
The soil samples obtained during the field explorations were examined in our laboratory. The
physical characteristics of the samples were noted and the field classifications were modified
where necessary in accordance with terminology presented in the "Key to Boring and Test Pit
Logs".
Representative samples were selected during the course of the examination for further testing.
The testing program included visual-manual classification, moisture content, and dry unit weight
determination. The testing procedures and results of the tests are summarized in the following
paragraphs. The phrase In general accordance with guidelines presented in means that
certain local and common descriptive practices and methodologies have been followed.
VISUAL-MANUAL CLASSIFICATION
Soil samples are classified in general accordance with guidelines presented in ASTM D2488,
Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure). The
physical characteristics of the samples are noted and the field classifications are modified, where
necessary, in accordance with ASTM terminology, though certain terminology that incorporates
current local engineering practice may be used. The term which best described the major portion
of the sample is used to describe the soil type.
NATURAL MOISTURE CONTENT
Natural moisture content is determined in general accordance with guidelines presented in ASTM
D2216, Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil
and Rock by Mass. The natural moisture content is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the
weight of water in a given amount of soil to the weight of solid particles.
DRY UNIT WEIGHT (IN-PLACE DRY DENSITY)
Dry unit weight (in-place dry density) testing is performed in general accordance with guidelines
presented in ASTM D2937, Standard Test Method for Density of Soil in Place by the Drive-Cylinder
Method. The dry unit weight is defined as the ratio of the dry weight of the soil sample to the
volume of that sample. The dry unit weight typically is expressed in pounds per cubic foot.

BORING AND TEST PIT LOGS
DISTINCTION BETWEEN FIELD LOGS AND FINAL LOGS
A field log is prepared for exploration by our field representative. The log contains information
concerning soil and groundwater encountered, sampling depths, sampler types used and
identification of samples selected for laboratory analysis. The final logs presented in this report
represent our interpretation of subsurface conditions based on the contents of the field logs,
observations made during explorations, and the results of laboratory testing. Our recommendations
are based on the contents of the final logs and the information contained therein, and not on the
field logs.
SOIL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Soil samples are classified in the field in general accordance with the United Soil Classification System
(USCS) presented in ASTM D2488 Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-
Manual Procedure). Final logs reflect field soil classifications and laboratory testing results. A
summary of the USCS is provided on page 3. Classifications and sampling intervals are shown in the
logs.
VARIATION OF SOIL BETWEEN EXPLORATIONS

The final logs and related information depict subsurface conditions only at the specific location and
on the date(s) indicated. Those using the information contained herein should be aware that soil
conditions at other locations or on other dates may differ.
TRANSITION BETWEEN SOIL AND ROCK CLASSIFICATIONS
The lines designating the interface between soil, fill, or rock on the final logs and on the subsurface
profiles presented in the report are determined by interpolation and are, therefore, approximate. The
transition between the materials may be abrupt or gradual. Only at specific exploration locations
should profiles be considered as reasonably accurate and then only to the degree implied by the
notes.
