Re: Proposed slope stabilization and
shoreline improvements
Tom,
At your request we have reviewed the following engineering documents for the Ray Newkirk property at
1489 Shoreline Drive.
• Gale Tec Engineering Company— Report No. 95286 (9/16/05)
• Advance Surveying & Engineering Company — Drawing No. 051080 (revised 9/20/05)
Based on site visits by Mr. S. Gale, P.E. and limited field tests, the Gale Tec Report discusses the slope
slide failure and provides recommendations. In our opinion this report provides both reasonable
explanations for the soil mass failure and suggested repairs. We recommend the owner continue to follow
recommendations for further study and repairs presented in the Gale Tec Engineering Report. The report
suggests soil borings, laboratory testing, surveying and field monitoring be included in the overall program.
The second engineering document from Advance Surveying & Engineering includes a plan for re-grading
the top of slope area and installing a curtain drain system. This document follows one of the
recommendations made in the Gale Tec Report to help stabilize the site. In our opinion the plan provides a
reasonable engineered solution and was prepared by a licensed professional engineer.

Subject: Slope erosion from water run-off.
Dear Sir:
You will find enclosed the reports from two engineering companies as requested.
They are Gale Tec Engineering Company and Advance Surveying & Engineering
Company.
It is my intentions to have the stairs replaced and to restore the slope per the
engineering recommendations. I have met with Minnetonka Portable Dredging
and they can remove the necessary material and replace new material by barge.
It is very important to get on their schedule as soon as possible to have the work
completed this year.
Anchor Highland Block Company will provide all pertinent engineering details for
rebuilding the stairs and any necessary retaining walls. Concept Landscape is
working with them on that information. At this time, I plan to have Concept
Landscape do the stonework as well as the necessary drainage system work.
I would like to get immediate approval to start the removal process while we are
finalizing the drainage and slop details. Minnetonka is holding a spot in their
schedule at this time. I will be available to meet at your convenience. Please
review this information and contact me at 612-670-0212 as to how I may proceed.
Sincerely,
Ray Newkirk

MOVEMENT BEHIND NEWI�RK RESIDENCE II�I WAYZATA,MINN�SOTA
I�iT�O,DU�ON
A retatively steep slope exists behind the Newkirk residence at I489 Shoreline Drive in
Wayzata, Minnesota. The slope le�ds down to an east-f�cing lakeshore on Lake
Minnetvnka- Mr• Nev�+kirk reported ta as that in late August slo� movement occurred.
Upon acceptance of aur August 30, 2005 pmposal, we met Mr. Newkirk an^site on
August 31 and again on September 8, 2005 in order to observe the conditions. '�his
report presents e discussion of our observatians, includes an evaluation of the slope
movement and pre.se�nts potential repair options. We weTe provided a copy of thc

�L'�OBSERVATIONS
�,' e V's' 1
Oaa Aug,ust 31, 2005, Mr. B. T'heroux, P.E. met with Mr. R. Nevwkirk, th� owner of the
property. Mr. Newltirk reporbed to ns that following a weekend rainstorm event on
A��gust 27, sod placed just behind the top of the siope behind the Newkirk �+esidenc;e
leading dovm to the laice exhibited movement and c�racks appeared along the slape crat
at the edge vf the sod and behind the tbp of tt�e stairs leading down ta the lake. Mr.
Newkirk reported that the sod was installed in June,2005. A shallow excavation through
the s�od by Mr.Newkirk revealed the underiyiag subgrade to be a silty clay.
T!�slope is approxunately 2Q ft in height above th�e lake. T'here is an approxima�be 50 R
level area behin,d the Newkuk residence. Based on a Grading Plan by Ste�er �
Koppeiman dated January 20,2U04 provided to us,the overall slope angle is esdmated 4a
be abotrt 1 %H: 1 V. 'The slope facs is covtred with shnibs at� wood c6ips aad �
staircase leads down to the Iakeshore. A modular black retaining wa11 up t+m
approximately 4 ft in height follows atong the (nvrth} upslope side of the sta�rcase. A
small slide scarp ex�sted 3 to 4 ft b�ehuid the crest of the slope and ext�nded
appraximately 35 �t from the b$ck of the top of the staircase aiorthward to s catchbasin.
'The catchbasin was cona+oCted to a 4-inch pipe which drainea davm underneaxh the slope
to the lakeshore. A feve► of the sl.aircase concrete pavers hsd b�ckled up due tm iatcraP

At the t�me of�aur August 3l visit, the small scarp �-covea�d with sod at the
top of the sl�pe and Concept Laadscaping was in the process of ptacir�g boulder riprap

identified thai th,e original5teiner and Koppelman constcuction plan for the site inteaded
for roof runoff to be directed into a drain pipe leading away from the slope and take.
Site Visit 2
On September 8, Mr. Newkirk requested a second site visit due ta another heavy
rainstorm event from the preceding weekend and a l�rge soil slump. Mr. S. Gale, P.E.
and Mr. B. Theroux, P.E. met with Mr. Newkirk and Mr. Jim Smith of Concept
Landscaping. The slope was obs�rrved to have shifted to create a slide scarp
approximately 3 %2 ft lugh at the top of the slope. A level "bench" lead from the scatp to
a stnaller secondary scarp approximately Y.to '/z ft in height. The concrtte stair�ase steps
and pavers had buckled and slid both laterally and verticaily. A silt fence had been
in�tailed a few feet behind the upper scarp at the top of the stope.
Field Testing
We observed the exposed subgrade silty clay soil on the face of the sc�rp. The brown
siliy clay surface soils appeared to be a glacial till sail. A vane shear test was conducted
withiia the soils at the base of the scarp. At a depth of approximately 6 inches, a vane
shea�r stc�gth of 224 pounds per squsre foot(ps�vv�as measur�d. This value is typical of
a soR cohesive soil. Approximgtely 9 inches below the base of the scarp, a vane shear
strength of 130U psf was recorded. This value would be typical of a fum to stiff cohesive
soil.
The lateral extent of the slide vvas estimated to be approxvnately 45 to 50 ft at�lhe top of
the slope.
�V�I.U_ATTON
Based on our field r�onnaissance, it appears thaxt the mechanism causing movement of
the soil mass was related to a shear failure of the �oil. Our observadons indi�e that a
shear failur�occurred causing a block of soil to shift downward snd slide towazd t�e lake.
Such slides occur whe�the shear strcngth of the slope soil is reduced to a degree that it
c,an no longer support its own weight. The trigger for this reduction in shear strength is
aflen the introduction of watet into the soil. Unless drained properly in clay soils, aa
excess of watec can tead to a shaip increase in pore pressure within the soil. The water
not only s�ftens and weakens the clay, but it als� increases the weight of the soil.
Because of t�e nature of clay partictes, nnce the clay is softened it takes a Don�g tune to
regain strength. As�increase in�veight, such as occearred during the rainstomns,probably
eaused the failure. in such situations, it becomes prudent to talce measiues to reduce the
amount o�water flowing into the affected area aad direct It�way fron�n the soil.
It is our opinion that water nmoff entered t�e sIide area by flowing ovecland toward the
slope and through the seam space between the clay subgrade and recently placed sod.
During a heavy z�ainfall�vent,a sharp rase in the influx of water cowld lead to a� increase
�n�he excess pore pressure of the cIay,softenin�it and leading to a shear strength fasluure.

Wayzata, Minnesota Project No. 95286
Our evaluation is based on a simple observation of the property. Further ass�ssment
should be macie by drilling soit borings in order to evaluate t� stratigraphy of the soil
wtuch compose the slope,perfornung laboratory testing of the soil in order to evaluate its
strength properties with depth, obtaining a survey of the property in orde�r to identify the
topography and installing field instrumentation, such as inclinas�teters, in arder to
monitor for movement.
. STABILIZATION
In comentional geotechnical engiaeering practice the stability of a slope is expressed in
terms of its factor of safety. In this approach a factor of safety less than 1.0 indicates
failure, whereas a slope wauld be stable with a factor of safety gre�atrer thaa 1. In desigis,
the es�gineer also inctudes a"safety fa�tor"to account for variables.
The question now becomes has the movement which occun�ed changed the slope
conditions resutting in a new stable condition or can movement once again occur. Ba�ed
on our observatioas and t+ecent rainfall events, it appears that without mitigation and
repair,the stope may indood move again. Fw�t�er study wotdd be raquired invo�ving soil
borings,laboratory testing,surveying and field monitoring.
Ripnp at Tce
One of the first things tha�t can be done to help mitigate tho potential for further
movcment would be to add riprap at t�e bottom of the slope thaz would reduce the
potentiai for et+osion ax�uring during high water and add weight to the toe of the slope,
We uaderstand that Concept Landscaping is accomplishing this task. Riprap has been
installed tio the reporbed 100-year flaod level of 931.5 ft.
We recommend that any repa�r include a drainage collectivn plan. Roof drainage,
backyard drainage and aay other poteutial source of water during a rainstorm should be
collectsd and rodirected away from the slope tha�t failed or pipes installed to take the
drainage through the slop�.
Yto-Gradc S1ope
One repair option that could be done would be to remove thc slide scarp by cutting lback
the top of the slope to at least a 2H:1 V to 3H:1 V grade. This reg�radi�ag would eli�minate a
portion of the b�ckyard area but woald pruvidc a more stable environment near the rear
of the home. An imparted granular, preferably czushed stone, soil could be repYacsd that
1�a friction angle. A crushe8 stone could bc placed that has a fricdon angle of near 40
to 45 degrees, whereas a select sand could be placed that has a friction angle near 30 to
35 degrees.
Sepnentsl Blodc Ret�iag Walt(SRR�
�e repair option would ���mstruct a geogrid reinforced reta�niag watl suppor�ed o�
fic�ground that would ailow for the ren�ovai of the snil material in the failure area. Two
option�for retaining walls would be a cast-in-place reinforc�concrete wall or a geogrid
�+einforced modular block walt, such as the Anchor Highland Block. The pour�d ia�s
`3ale-'T�Engia�erin�,Ia�c.,�EPTE�rIBER.,2005 4
. ' ,
Mr.Ray Newkirk
Wayzata,Minnesota Pmject No. 95286
ptaced c�crete wall would require steel reinforcement, a poured footing and potentiatly
steel helical anchor tiebacks. The footing would have to be supparted on firm ground.
Because of the runoff potential that may still occur near the upper portion of the slope,
we recommend that a drainage system be inclvded in the Anchor Wal1 design The
Anchor Highland block is constructed from stacked dry-cast units(without mortar). The
btock facing is combined with horizontat layers of geogrid reinforcement which extend
back into the soil. The combination of the weight, width and batter of the block with the
high tensile sfir�ngth of the geogrid reinforcement creates the retaining wall effcct.
Geogrid reinforcement materials are high tensile strengEh polymeric s�heet materials. The
geogrid extends through the interface between the modular btock and into the soil to
create a composite gravity mass structure. Attached is a drawing provided by the
Nativnal Concrete Masonry Associatioa which depicts a reinforced soil segmental
retaining wall (SRV�.
We recommend that any geogrid reinforced modular block n�taining wall be supported on
a cnished gravel basc supported on a firm foundation. The intent of the wall would be to
allow regrading which could then help to reduce the amount of wat�r entering the slope
area. Adequate support for the wall would be of utmost concern and should be evaluated
by the walUslope builder and his enginecring liaison.
Reinfarced So�l Slope(1�
Another repair option would be to construct a geogrid reuiforced soil slope (RSS). This
option zs similar to the moduiar block n�taining wall discussed above,howevcr,instead of
concrete blocks, the slope face can be s�ded and fertilized for a more natural
appearance. Geogrids are employed to provide high tensile strength reinforcement withirr
the stope to help resist shear failure. Also, the RSS optioa atlows for more flexibility in

This cietail should be used in conjunction with one of the above repair options. It is axat
suitable as the sole repair option for the landslide. It should be unpottant to develop a
drainage pmgram that will divert water and ninoff away from the slope. This progxam
should be a part of any r�ir/r�conskvction option instituted. Drains should be extended
past the landslide area to the west and east. A trench would be constructed behind the
c�rest of the slope and filled with coarse, free-draining aggregat�. The tc+�nch should be
graded to capture and direct nmoff away from t�crest and around the slope. The te�nch
e�rails could be laned with a Mn/llOT Specificatiom 3'�33 Type�geot�xtile.
