Visit Date: January 18, 2008 Arrival Time: 2:30 pm
Permit #: N/A Weather: 40 °, cloudy
Subject: Stripping Observation
I arrived on site as requested by Norm of Bones Construction (Bones). I met with Norm and Randy with Bones on-
site. The purpose of our visit was to observe site stripping. Reg Morris with Baker Construction was not on -site
during our visit. While on -site I discussed cement amendment and construction of the proposed retaining wall.
Site Stripping
In general, the thick root zone and topsoil had been removed from both the cut and fill areas. The location of the
wall had not been staked (surveyor was on -site during our visit) and subsequently had not been stripped /excavated.
Wall Construction
Randy provided two documents associated with construction of the proposed retaining wall at the site. The wall will
consist of a Lock and Load wall designed by David Hall for the wall contractor. The wall layout plan shows
embedment of up to 0.8 feet of embedment for the entire length of the wall. Per the table provided with the wall
cross - sections, embedment of the wall ranges from 12 inches to .2.5 feet depending on the slope at the toe of the
wall. The embedments in the table are consistent with our recommendation of a horizontal offset of 5 feet from the
face of the wall to the face of the slope.
Due to the current wet conditions, I recommended covering the excavated subgrade with rock following excavation
to protect the subgrades from water softening and disturbance. If soft or unsuitable soil conditions are encountered
we should be contacted immediately and these areas should remain uncovered.
Bones requested clarification on these embedments prior to excavation for the wall footing. I stated that the
increasing embedments with steepening slope inclinations was consistent with our recommendations and that 0.8
feet of embedment, as shown on the plan, was not adequate.
Further, grid lengths should be based on the total wall height, which includes the exposed height plus the
embedment. Steps in the wall footing subgrade to match site topography will result in staggered grid elevations over
the length of the wall depending on the total wall heights at those elevations.
Cement Amendment
Norm indicated that on -site soil would be moved to the fill area and amended in- place, without treating the subgrade
where the fill thickness is greater than 1.5 feet. Norm was not aware of what percentage of cement was being
proposed for amendment. Based on field observation, moisture contents of the on -site soil is likely on the order of
30 percent we will obtain samples for moisture testing during our next visit. With moisture contents of 30 percent
we recommend using a minimum of 6 percent cement. The presence of surface water or wetter soil will likely
require increasing this.
This report presents opinions formed as a result of our observation of activities relating to geotechnical engineering services. We rely on the contractor to
comply with the plans and specifications throughout the duration of the project irrespective of the presence of our representative. Our work does not include
quality control, and contractors and subcontractors have no right to rely on our services and reports. Our work does not include supervision or direction of

Limiting the loose fill thickness to the till depth is critical to achieving adequate mixing and cement content.
We will return to the site as contacted to observe preparation of the retaining wall footing subgrade and cement
amendment of on -site fill.

Subject: Cement Amendment of Fill, Retaining Wall Footing Subgrade
I arrived on site as requested by Norm of Bones Construction (Bones). I met with Norm and Randy with Bones,
Reg Morris with Baker Construction, and Hugh O'neal with West Coast Road Recycling (WCRR) (cement
amendment contractor) on -site. The purpose of our visit was to observe cement amendment of fill being placed and
preparation of the retaining wall footing subgrade.
Retaining Wall Footing Subgrade
The retaining wall footing subgrade for the planned Lock - and -Load wall had been excavated to subgrade elevation.
The exposed soil consisted of silt, clay, and severely weathered rock. In general, the subgrade was very stiff to hard
based on penetration resistance with a field probe. Slow seepage was observed in a few areas along the back of the
cut, which extended to the back of the planned geo- grids, and will be picked up by the wall drain.
Based on our observations, the retaining wall footing subgrade has been prepared in general accordance with the
intent of our recommendations.
Cement Amendment of Fill
When I arrived, an approximately 8 -foot wide flat bench had been "notched" into the site slope above the back of
the retaining wall excavation. Cut soil from excavation of the retaining wall footing and building pad had been spread
over the "upper" portion of the site for amendment. WCRR was spreading approximately 5 percent cement per
square foot and tilling approximately 12 inches. The amended soil was being moved to the lower bench with an
excavator, bladed to an approximate lift thickness of 12 inches, tracked with the dozer, and rolled with a vibratory,
single -drum, pad -foot roller. Minor to no deflection of the amended soil was observed under the roller. During my
visit, approximately 2 feet of fill had been placed and compacted on the lower bench. According to Norm, current
plans would likely result in an additional 4 to 5 feet of fill placed.
Returned to site 4:00 pm.
When I returned, amended had been completed and all the excavated soil had been treated, placed and compacted.
The dozer was being used to level out site grades and the large excavator was being used to "track -in" the surface of
the amended fill. The slope behind the retaining wall excavation had been cut back into amended soil at
approximately I H: I V.
According to Norm, approximately I foot of on -site soil will be cut from the building pad and spread over the fill
area tomorrow (Thursday) and amended in -place on Friday morning. Operating directly on the amended soils

without the full cure time (generally 4 days) could result in disturbance and require repair. Norm was aware of this.
Disturbance could be reduced by pushing the next lift of soil out on an advancing pad.
We will return to the site Friday morning to observe continued amendment.

Visit Date: January 25, 2008 Arrival Time: 9 :00 am
Permit #: N/A Weather: 32 °, sunny
Subject: Cement Amendment
I arrived on site as requested by Norm of Bones Construction (Bones). I met with Norm and Randy with Bones,
and Reg Morris with Baker Construction on -site. The purpose of our visit was to observe cement amendment of
both fill being placed over the southern portion of the site and amendment of the subgrade in the cut areas on the
northern portion of the site.
Newly Amended Soil
When I arrived I observed slow seepage at the corner of the building pad excavation where the deepest cut was.
The cement spreader' and tiller had both gotten stuck prior to my arrival. Norm stated that the soft, wet soil would
be spread over the amended area to the west, amended and tilled, then pushed back into the corner of the building
pad. Following this initial amendment, the entire pad would likely be treated a second time.
According to Norm approximately 12 to 18 inches of fill had been spread over the southern "fill area" yesterday.
This soil included brown silt from the on -site cut and trench spoils from nearby. The trench spoils were gray and
contained occasional debris such as plastic and wood. The trench spoils only made up a small percentage of the soil
being amended and was primarily used in the southeastern corner, adjacent to the construction entrance.
Approximately 5 percent cement was being spread over both the cut and fill areas and tilled to a depth of up to 18
inches. Following tilling, the amended soil was rough graded with a dozer and compacted using a single drum,
vibratory pad -foot roller. Minor to no deflection was observed under the roller in the fill areas. Minor to moderate
deflection was observed under the roller over the cut area (prior to excavating and replacing with amended soil).
Based on our observations, the cement amendment is progressing as planned. The finished surface should be fine
graded by either rolling with a smooth drum roller or track walking the surface. The amended areas should not be
trafficked by construction equipment within four days of completion.
Previously Amended Soil
I evaluated the fill soil that was amended on Wednesday by probing the perimeter of the recently spread fill and the
fill slope behind the cavation for the wall. The surface of the amended soil was very stiff to hard.

Subject: Retaining Wall Rock Leveling Course
I arrived on site as requested by Reg Morris of Baker Construction to observe preparation of the crushed rock
leveling course for the new Lock - and -Load retaining wall. I met with Reg on -site.
The building pad, parking area, and retaining wall subgrades had all been covered with crushed rock prior to my
arrival. The leveling course for the retaining wall was generally 4 to 6 inches thick and well- keyed. Ponded water
was present over the middle 20 percent of the wall and the entire lower (SW) corner of the wall excavation was full
of water. The water should be removed from the excavation prior to starting wall construction.
Based on our observations, the crushed rock leveling course for the retaining wall has been prepared in general
accordance with the intent of our recommendations.
We must be contacted to evaluate the retaining wall backfill when construction of the wall begins.
We will return to the site as contacted.

Subject: Retaining Wall Rock Leveling Course, Storm Detention Pipe Backfill
I arrived on site as requested by Jeremy of Centerstone Corp. (retaining wall contractor) to observe the current
conditions of the rock leveling course and surface water seepage into the wall footing area. I met with Jeremy and
Steve Pfeifer of Centerstone Corp. on -site. While on -site I also observed preparation of the storm detention pipe
backfill at the crest of the slope above the retaining wall footing excavation.
Retaining Wall Leveling Course and Surface Water Seepage
When I arrived on -site I observed that water was flowing through the retaining wall footing excavation toward the
low corner. Centerstone had excavated a shallow trench along the back of the grid zone to help direct runoff.
However, the wall footing subgrade appeared to slope to the face of the wall, which required lateral trenches to
direct the water to the back trench. Due to soil slough from above, the presence of water, and the foot traffic in the
footing excavation, there are localized areas where the rock has been contaminated with silt. •
•
In order to adequately compact the rock leveling course it will be necessary to remove the majority of the water
from within the base rock. This is being accomplished with the aforementioned trench while pumping from the low
corner of the excavation. Approximately 3 to 6 inches of additional rock is necessary to get the leveling course to
top of rock grade according to Steve. Steve proposed installing a layer of clean, angular drain rock in the low area
and capping it with 3 /4 -inch minus to bring that area to grade. In my opinion, this is a suitable approach provided the
rock leveling course can be adequately compacted and "well- keyed ". We must be contacted to evaluate the rock
leveling course when it is.at grade, prior to starting wall construction.
Storm Detention Pipe Backfill
While on -site I observed that the storm detention pipe was being backfilled with on -site silt, previously excavated
from the trench. The pipe appeared to have been surrounded and capped with a thin layer of clean medium sand.
The silt was being placed in lifts over the approximate 4 -ft wide trench and compacted using a trench wheel on an
excavator. The moisture content of the silt was slightly wet of optimum (approximately 20 percent) and contained
variable amounts of rock. Following placement and compaction of 2 lifts (approximately 10 to 12 inches total) of fill,
I evaluated the stiffness by driving a 3 /4 -inch diameter field pin 12 inches with a 4 -lb hammer. Blow counts ranged
from 5 to 6 indicating the silt fill had not been adequately prepared.
I talked to both Herb and Brad of Bones Construction regarding the backfill materials and preparation. In my
opinion it will be difficult to get adequate compaction of this material using a trench wheel. I recommended using
thing lifts with some form of pad foot roller, which Brad stated they had nearby.

There is some risk using silt as backfill in this area during wet conditions. If the moisture content of the silt fill
increase, adequate compaction will not be possible. I the stockpile or installed backfill gets wet as a result or rain or
runoff, at least portions, if not the majority of, the material will need to be removed and replaced: If construction
traffic will operate in this area, the silt backfill should be covered with a minimum of 24 inches of crushed rock. The
above risks can be avoided by using clean granular material to backfill the full depth of the trench.
We will return to the site as contacted.

Subject: Storm Detention Pipe Backfill, Retaining Wall Construction
I arrived on site as arranged with Herb of Bones Construction to evaluate preparation of the storm detention pipe
backfill. While on -site I also observed construction of the retaining wall at the west end.
Storm Detention Pipe Backfill
When I arrived I observed that Herb was operating a small, dual drum, vibratory, pad -foot roller on the fill. As
discussed, he stated the previously installed fill had been removed then placed and compacted in 6 inch lifts. The
backfill consisted of on -site silt that was slightly wet of optimum moisture. I evaluated the surface of the fill, which
was near subgrade elevation, at two locations by driving a 3 /4 -inch diameter field pin I2- inches with a 4 -lb hammer.
Resulting blow counts were 10 for each test.
Based on our observations and testing, the backfill is being installed in general accordance with the intent of our
recommendations.
Retaining Wall Construction
Construction of the wall had started at the low point at the western corner with the first course of blocks in place.
Crushed rock was being compacted in the counterfort zone with medium sand behind that. A layer of geogrid had
been placed under the wall over the rock leveling course. The backfill had not been compacted during my visit.
The 4 -inch diameter socked, perforated drain pipe had been placed at the back of the grid zone with fabric
underneath and surrounded in angular drain rock. I recommended lapping the fabric over the top of the drain rock
per the detail in the wall design.
We will return to the site as contacted.

Subject: Retaining Wall Construction, Storm Detention Pipe Backfill
I arrived on site as arranged with Jeremy of Centerstone Corp. (retaining wall contractor) to observe wall
construction and with Herb of Bones Construction to evaluate the storm detention pipe backfill. I met with Herb
and Reg Morris of Baker Construction on -site.
Retaining Wall Construction
When I arrived on -site I observed that third course of blocks had been placed at the southwest corner. Crushed
rock was being compactd in the counterfort zone, with medium sand being used behind that. This is the first course
of blocks that continues east across the majority of the wall. Blocks had only been placed approximately '/, of the
way across the wall. The Centerstone crew stated that the middle section of wall, as shown on the wall layout
detail, steps up. Because the subgrade is continuous, crushed rock structural fill is being used through this area. I
contacted Steve to discuss this approach. He planned on being at the site tomorrow to evaluate this option with the
possibility of adding blocks along this section of wall. Based on our observations, the wall is being constructed in
accordance with our recommendations.
Storm Detention Pipe Backfill
While on -site I observed that the storm detention pipe had been backfilled to grade. Excavation of the rock
surfacing confirmed it was at least 12 inches thick at the surface. According to Reg, the silt soil being used was
placed in approximately 6 inch thick lifts and compacted with a small remote control dual drum pad -foot roller. The
moisture contents appeared consistent with those observed yesterday afternoon and appear to be slightly above
optimum.
I evaluated the silt fill by driving a' /4 -inch diameter field pin 12 inches with a 4 -lb hammer. Resulting blow counts
average approximately 10 for the three tests completed over the eastern 2/3 of the pipe backfill.
Based on our observations and testing, the silt backfill observed has been prepared in general accordance with the
intent of our recommendations.
We will return to tJ as tacted.

Subject: Retaining Wall Construction
I arrived on site as arranged with Reg Morris of Baker Construction to observe continued construction of the Lock -
and -Load retaining wall at the site. I met with Steve Pfeifer of Centerstone and the Centerstone crew on -site.
When I arrived on -site I observed that the majority of the wall was backfilled to a level of 2 blocks, with the 3 row
of blocks in -place with the backfill remaining to be compacted. I evaluated the compacted backfill at the east end of
the wall where the next lift of backfill had not yet been spread. The backfill was evaluated by driving a 3 /4 -inch
diameter field pin 12 inches with a 4 -lb hammer. Resulting blow counts indicated the backfill was being prepared in
general accordance with the intent of our recommendations. -
The geo -grid exposed at the top of the counter at the western corner had only been placed perpendicular to,
the southern portion of the wall and not the western edge. Steve stated that there should be grid in both directions
• and directed the crew to add a second layer of grid in the correct orientation. Two new lengths of geo -grid
replaced the original and the area would be backfilled.
We will return to the site Monday afternoon as requested by Marcos with Centerstone.

Subject: Foundation Subgrade Preparation
I arrived on site as arranged with Norm of Bones Construction. I met with Norm, Randy of Bones Construction,
and Reg Morris of Baker Construction on -site
When I arrived on -site I observed the continuous footing along gridline A had been excavated to approximately
subgrade elevation from gridline 2 to gridline 8 (northeast building corner). The footings had been overexcavated
approximately 4 inches to account for the addition of 4 inches of crushed rock in the base of the footing excavations.
The subgrades consisted of silt containing variable amounts of clay and rubblized basalt fragments. Penetration
resistance with a 3 /4 -inch diameter foundation probed indicated the subgrades were generally medium stiff to very
stiff. Approximately 2 to 3 inches of was present in the low areas of the excavation.
The crushed rock in the base of the footings can be compacted until well -keyed using hand - operated equipment.
Based on our observations and testing, the aforementioned footing subgrades have been prepared in general
accordance with the intent of our recommendations.
We will return to the site tomorrow to observe additional footing excavations.

Subject: Off Site Storm and Sanitary Sewer Trench Backfill
I arrived on site as arranged with Norm of Bones Construction. I met with Norm, Herb of Bones Construction, and
Reg Morris of Baker Construction on -site
When I arrived on -site I observed the continuous footing along gridline A was being formed and excavation of the
remaining footings would begin tomorrow. Herb stated that compaction of the off -site storm and sanitary trench
backfill had been completed. The depth of cover ranged from approximately 2.0 to 3.5 feet at the south end, 7.0 to
9.0 feet near the mid -point (north- south), and 6.0 to 7.0 for approximately the northern third. The east -west
portion of both trenches was backfilled with crushed rock due to the relatively shallow depth of cover. The
remainder was backfilled with screenings (medium angular sand) and topped with 6 to 12 inches of crushed rock.
Due to the proximity of the pipes to one another a single, wider trench was excavated, with both pipes installed in
that trench.
The trench backfill was evaluated by driving a 3 /4 -inch diameter field pin 12 inches with a 4 -lb hammer. Testing was
completed at the.surface of the trench where the depth of cover was less than 6 feet, with the addition of a 3 -ft deep
test in areas where the trenches were deeper. Resulting blow counts indicated that, in general, the aforementioned
trench backfill had been adequately prepared. Two areas were identified as having inadequate compaction: the
section of trench below the stairs, approximately mid way along the trench north - south, and a section at the north
end, where the backfill appeared "wetter ". These areas were identified to Herb on -site and relayed to Reg prior to
leaving the site.
Based on our observations and testing, with the exception of the two identified areas, the aforementioned trench
backfill has been prepared in general accordance with the intent of our recommendations.
We will return to the site tomorrow as scheduled.

Subject: Footing Subgrades
I arrived on site as arranged with Reg Morris of Baker Construction to observe footing subgrades. I met with Randy
and Herb of Bones Construction, and Reg on -site
When I arrived on -site I observed that footings B I, C I, Line 8 from A to B.9, Line 7 from A to D, and the trash
enclosure wall footing had been excavated to approximately subgrade elevation. Footing C I contained a thin layer of
silt fill that did not get adequately amended and was soft based on probing. I recommended to Rand that the soft soil
in the corner of the footing be removed. Randy agreed. A sand backfilled trench was observed crossing footing C I.
We understand the pipe in this trench will be terminated outside the building. This will result in a trench under the
footing with no pipe. The backfill in the trench was loose based on probing and should be recompacted prior to
forming the footing. Herb agreed. Approximately 6 to 12 inches of water was present in the observed eastern
footings. The water was being pumped out of the excavations during my visit. All water must be removed from the
footing excavations prior to pouring.
In general, the footing subgrades consisted of cement amended silt or stiff native silt containing clay that was very stiff
to hard based on probing. Soft soil at the surface of the subgrade at the north end of line 7 should be removed prior
to rocking.
We will return to the site tomorrow as scheduled to observe the remainder of the footing subgrades.

Subject: Footing Subgrades, Offsite Trench Backfill.
I arrived on site as arranged with Reg Morris of Baker Construction to observe footing subgrades for the new
building. I met with Reg on -site.
Footing Subgrades
When I arrived on -site I observed that footings all footings observed during yesterdays visit had been covered with
approximately 4 inches of crushed rock that was well keyed. Footings C.5 -I.5, D -2.5, D -4, D -5 had all be excavated
and covered with approximately 4 inches of well keyed crushed rock. According to Reg, the pipe that passed
through footing C I had been cut back outside the new building and the trench backfill compacted. The trench
backfill was dense based on penetration resistance with a field probe. In general, the footing subgrades consisted of
cement amended silt or native silt that was medium stiff to stiff based on probing.
Based on our observations, the all the footing subgrades have been prepared in general accordance with the intent of
the specifications and our recommendations.
Offsite Trench Backfill
Herb indicated yesterday that the trench backfill that had not been suitably prepared would be recompacted. I re-
evaluated the two areas identified during our 2.19.08 visit. I evaluated the backfill by driving a 3 /4 -inch diameter field
pin 12 inches with a 4 -lb hammer. Resulting blow counts averaged greater than I I indicating the trench backfill had
been adequately prepared.
We will return to the site as requested.

Subject: Sidewalk Subgrade Preparation.
I arrived on site as arranged with Norm of Bones Construction to observe preparation of the sidewalk subgrades in
the ODOT ROW fronting Highway 99. I met with Norm and Randy of Bones Construction and Reg Morris of
Baker Construction.
The existing sidewalk had been demolished since our last visit. The exposed soils were consistent with those
documented in our previous site visit report: silt with variable amounts of crushed rock, asphalt, and occasional
boulders. On -site silt fill containing variable amounts of rock had been spread over the back (southern) portion of
the sidewalk subgrade over approximately the western half of the sidewalk, creating a triangular (wedge) fill that was
approximately 6 to 8 inches thick. The silt was visibly wet of optimum moisture with penetration from the small,
single drum, pad -foot roller on the order of 4 to 5 inches deep. I recommended to norm that due to the current
"wet conditions" silt soils are not suitable for use as structural fill. The silt soild could be amended with cement or
replaced with clean granular fill such as sand or gravel. Norm proposed using the base rock that had been removed
from the adjoining parking lot during demolition for installation of off -site utilities. The proposed material appeared
to contain approximately 6 percent fines and was generally well - graded, 3 /4 -inch minus crushed rock. Based on our
observations, the observed material is suitable for use fill as proposed. Norm indicated that the on -site silt fill would
be removed later today and replaced.
I relayed my observations to Reg prior to leaving the site.
We will return to the site as contacted.

Subject: Footing Subgrades, Offsite Trench Backfill.
I arrived on site as arranged with Norm of Bones Construction to observe stripping for the sidewalk in the ODOT
ROW fronting Highway 99. Norm was not on -site during my visit.
An approximate 10 ft wide area had been stripped for the entire width of the project site. The stripped area
extended generally south of the existing sidewalk which we understand will be demolished, tomorrow. According to
Norm, the new sidewalk will be underlain by a minimum of 6 inches of compacted crushed rock.
The exposed subgrade consisted of silt, angular gravel, asphalt rubble, and boulders. In general, the topsoil and thick
root zone had been removed. Thin zones of grass roots and /or topsoil were present in a few localized areas.
Native soil backfill, used to fill the water line trench supplying the new fire hydrant near the intersection was soft to
depths of greater than 2 feet based on penetration resistance with a field probe.
Loose, soft, and saturated soil, localized areas of fine roots and topsoil, should be removed from the subgrade prior
to placing the rock. If the aforementioned trench backfill will be under the sidewalk, the backfill should be removed
and replaced with clean, granular structural fill.
In general, provided the localized areas described above are prepared as recommended, the sidewalk subgrade within
the ODOT ROW will have been prepared in general accordance with the intent of our recommendations.
We will return to the site as contacted.

Subject: Sidewalk Base Rock Preparation.
I arrived on site as requested by Reg Morris to observe preparation of the sidewalk base rock in the ODOT ROW
fronting Highway 99. Nobody was on -site during my visit.
When I arrived, I observed that that crushed rock had been spread and compacted over the sidewalk subgrade
(excluding approximately I foot behind the curb where the temporary fence was anchored). The rock was clean,
•
angular, ' /cinch minus. In general the rock was approximately 4 to 6 inches thick. Crushed rock fill was present
along the back of the sidewalk alignment in a few locations and was generally less than 12 inches thick. The rock
appeared to have been compacted with a small smooth drum roller where the rock section was thicker, and a
vibratory plate where the rock section was thinner.
I evaluated the base rock using a ' /cinch diameter probe. Resulting penetration indicated the crushed rock was
generally dense to very dense and had been suitable prepared.
•
Based on our observations, the base rock for the aforementioned sidewalk has been prepared in general accordance
with the intent of our recommendations.
We will return to the site as contacted.

Subject: Sidewalk Subgrade - Old Trench Backfill.
I arrived on site as arranged with Brad of Bones Construction (Bones) to re- evaluate the sidewalk subgrade for the
sidewalk base in the ODOT ROW fronting Highway 99. I met with Norm and Randy of Bones and Reg Morris of
Baker Construction on -site.
The purpose of this visit was to evaluate the depth and extent of old utility trench backfill that crosses under the
planned new sidewalk. The trench backfill appears to be associated with a waterline that crosses the northeastern
corner of the site. Due to the trenches location in the formerly grass covered ROW, it appears it was backfilled
with on -site silt with variable amounts of sand and gravel, prior to construction of the Americas Tire facility. The
backfill is soft to depths of 18 to 24 inches, which we understand is likely the full depth of the trench. According to
Norm a large portion of that area of the sidewalk subgrade will be disturbed as.a result of lower the gas line the
crosses the same area. Norm stated that the soft backfill could be removed and replaced with clean, granular fill in
conjunction with the gas line work.
I relayed my observations to Reg prior to leaving the site.
We will return to the site as contacted.

Subject: Observe Slab Rock and Thickened Edge Footings.
I arrived on site as arranged with Norm of Bones Construction (Bones) to observe preparation of the slab rock and
preparation of the thickened edge footing subgrades.
Slab Rock
When I arrived I observed that the slab rock had been compacted and was generally dense based on probing. The
" room" at the western end of the building had several shallow trench excavations opened with the silt/rock
excavation spoils stockpiled directly on the slab rock. The surface of the slab rock in the main area and the eastern
room was generally dense of loose at the surface as a result of recent foot traffic and operation of the hydraulic lift.
Prior to pouring the slab, the loose surficial slab rock should be recompacted. Areas of slab rock contaminated with
silt, in the west and main rooms< must be replaced with clean crushed rock and compacted as structural fill prior to
pouring the slab.
Thickened Edge Footing Subgrades
The thickened edge footing subgrades around the western perimeter and along the southern side of the building
were composed of silt or cement amended structural fill. Water was present in the footing excavations at the west
end of the building. A few inches of crushed rock had been placed in the base of the footing excavations. In general,
where silt was present the subgrades were medium stiff to stiff. Where cement amended silt was present the
subgrades were hard. Water should be removed and the crushed rock in the base of the footing excavation should
be recompacted until "well- keyed" prior to forming/pouring the thickened edge footings.
Conclusions
Based on our observations, provided the identified areas are repaired as recommended, the slab rock and thickened .
edge footing subgrades will have been prepared in general accordance with the intent of our recommendations.
We will return to the site as contacted.

Subject: Observe East Retaining Wall Footing Subgrade.
I arrived on site as requested by Norm of Bones Construction (Bones) to observe preparation of footing subgrade
for the eastern retaining wall. I met with Norm and Reg Morris of Baker Construction on -site.
When I arrived I observed that the retaining wall footing had been excavated to approximately subgrade elevation
and covered with a few inches of loose crushed rock. The subgrade consisted of silt that was medium stiff based on
penetration resistance with a field probe. Norm stated that a 12 -inch zone of drain rock was planned behind the
wall and asked about a drain pipe behind the wall. I stated that a drain pipe should be included. Norm stated that it
could be tied into the drain pipe from the existing retaining wall.
The new retaining wall footing will be formed on top of the existing retaining wall footing at the west end of the new
wall and span the existing drain pipe (located behind the existing retaining wall footing) which is covered with 6
inches of crushed rock. Following connection of the drain pipe, the rock backfill above the pipe and covering the
retaining wall footing subgrade should be compacted with hand - operated equipment until well keyed.
Norm asked about what could be used for wall backfill. Given the proximity of the entrance drive behind the wall, I
recommended the wall be backfilled with clean, crushed rock structural fill. I talked to Reg about this on -site and he
confirmed that the wall would be backfilled with crushed rock.
We will return to the site tomorrow as requested by Norm to observe excavation for the I0 -ft deep oil /water
separator at the east end of the buiding.

Subject: Observe Oil/Water Separator Excavation Subgrade.
I arrived on site as requested by Norm of Bones Construction (Bones) to observe the base of the excavation for the
oil /water separator at the southeast corner of the new building. I met with Norm, Randy of Bones, and Reg Morris
of Baker Construction on -site.
When I arrived, the majority of the excavation had been completed. The exposed soil at the base of the excavation
consisted of very stiff to hard silt/clay. The overlying soils consisted of silt and clay with variable amounts of basalt
rubble, with one small boulder (2' x 2') encountered in the top 5 feet. The excavation was approximately 10 feet
deep. Slow seepage was observed at a depth of approximately 8 to 9 feet below the surrounding ground surface.
According to Randy, 6 to 12 inches of crushed rock, tamped until well- keyed, would be placed in the base of .the
excavation. Clean granular fill, such as sand or crushed rock, will be used as backfill, compact in lifts around the
perimeter of the oil /water separator.
Based on our observations, the base of the excavation for the oil -water separator is suitable for the support of the
planned structure.
We will return to the site as contacted.

AMERICA'S TIRE COMPANY
Project Overview
The America's Best Tire building is located at 99W and 68` Parkway in Tigard, Oregon.
The project will include a new building and a water quality / water quantity facility. The
existing site consists of moderately sloped grassy terrain. The proposed building
footprint is approximately 6,440SF and the proposed impervious paving is 14,145SF.
The total proposed impervious area for the site is 20,585SF. The total site area is
34,170SF. The water quality and quantity facility required for this project will be
designed according to the requirements outlined in the "Design and Construction
Standards for Sanitary Sewer and Surface Water Management" by Clean Water Services,
dated March 2004.
The stormwater quality will be accomplished using an existing mechanical device.
Stormwater Management builds the device specified for this project. The water quality
treatment capacity for this device was accomplished using 0.36in over a 4 -hour period
over the post - development impervious area.
After the mechanical water quality device, the storm water from the lot will be detained
in an underground storage system. The stonnwater will be released into an extension of
the existing stormwater system in 68"' Parkway. The stormwater from the lot will be
detained and released at pre - development levels for the 2 -year, 10 -year, and 25- year,.24-
hour design storm events.
Conveyance pipe sizing was performed using HydroCAD 8.00 to model the flow through
the stormwater system. Conveyance flows were determined using the Santa Barbara Unit
Hydrograph method for the 25 -year, 24 -hour design storm event. Conveyance pipe
0.463D S 2
sizing was performed using Manning's Equation (O = ), where D is pipe
77
diameter in feet, S is pipe slope in feet /feet, and n is the Manning's Coefficient and is •
based on the pipe material. A value of 0.013 (concrete) was used for this project and is
conservative if PVC piping is utilized for the project.
Design storm rainfall distributions for the required design events were determined using
'the rainfall data in Section 1.2.c.1, Appendix A, in R &O 04 -09. All stormwater events
were modeled as Type lA NCRS distributions.
Please see the attached calculations showing that the on -site stormwater system meets the
said requirement.
AMERICA'S TIRE COMPANY
Water Quality Design
Water quality was calculated for this site using a total of 0.36 inches falling within a 4-
hour period over 100% of the new impervious parking, building, sidewalk and drive lane
area (20,585SF).
The Contech Stormwater Solutions deep 1- Cartridge StormFilter Catch Basin treats a
water quality flow (Q) up to 0.34cfs. The deep 1- cartridge catch basin has a built -in high
flow bypass capable of passing up to a 1.80cfs flow. The deep SFCB has in internal
permanent pool elevation 2' below the rim of the catch basin. This will cause some
acceptable surcharging of the leading up to the SFCB, but will not cause any
adverse effects, as the water level will still be below the invert elevations for the
preceding catch basins building downspouts. The devices will have a built in high flow
bypass for the difference in the water quality flows and the 25YR. flows, as tabulated
below.
