Laboratory Testing CGI: Copyright 2009 a CG09GR017 1.0 GENERAL This report presents the results of our geotechnical study for the proposed Oroville Veterans Memorial Park (OVMP), located in Oroville, California. CGI Technical Services, Inc. (CGI), has prepared this report at the request of OVMP committee. The, project location is shown on Plate 1 — Site Location Map. The following sections present our understanding of the project, the purpose of our study, and the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of this study. Our services were performed in general compliance with our proposal dated May 14, 2009. 1.1 PROJECT. UNDERSTANDING Based on information provided by NorthStar Engineering (NorthStar, 2009), the project civil engineer, we understand that the proposed project consists of the design and construction of a Memorial Park located south of Feather River, north of Montgomery Street, west of the existing Veterans Memorial Hall, and west of a private apartment complex and Boss Burger Parking. A portion of the project will extend to the west between the River and the Veterans Memorial Hall/Museum. The Memorial Park is proposed to consist of an overlook terrace, parking area, driveways, bathroom structure, and landscape design, as shown on Plate 2- Geotechnical Map. Because the project property consists of hillside terrain, itis anticipated that some to significant grading will be required to construct the overlook terrace. It is also anticipated that retaining walls will be included within the project design. It is assumed that the proposed bathroom be one story; constructed using standard stick framing or masonry, and that the structure will be supported on shallow foundation systems (spread footings). The foundation loads for that structure are unknown but assumed to not exceed 3 kips per lineal foot and 15 kips for continuous and isolated foundations, respectively. 1.2 STUDYPURPOSE The purpose of our geotechnical study was to explore and evaluate selected site surface and subsurface conditions in order to provide geotechnical engineering recommendations related to the design and construction of the project, and to identify potential geologic hazards that could impact the project. The subsurface characterization was primarily intended to estimate the depth, profile, consistency, and strength of the soils that might be encountered during project construction, along with the general depth to groundwater. 13 . PREVIOUS WORKPERFORNED Our review and research of the site revealed no existing geotechnical work performed for the site. 1.4 SCOPE OF SERVICES Services performed for this study are in general conformance with the proposed scope of services presented in our May 14, 2009 proposal.

Our field geotechnical investigation was limited to reconnaissance -level geologic mapping of the project site and subsurface exploration through excavation of four test backhoe test pits. The test pits, designated TP -1 through TP -4, were excavated on July 1, 2009. Test pit locations are shown on Plate 2. Detailed descriptions CGI: Copyright 2009 2 CG09GRO17 of soils encountered are presented on the test pit logs included in Appendix A. The soils encountered within the test pits were logged in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Surficial and subsurface soil samples were collected and transported to our laboratory for testing. Laboratory test results are included with this report. 2.2 SITE CONDITIONS 2.2.1 Surface Conditions The general topography of the site, consists of flat terrain with gentle to steep descending slopes at the northern portion of the site leading down to the Feather River. At the time of our study, the project site was covered with seasonal grasses, shrubs, trees, and seasonal vegetation. Locally, a paved bike -path and unpaved road traverse a portion of the project site. Large tree stumps, moderate amounts of debris, and deleterious materials were locally observed at the western portion of the site. A portion of the site was previously occupied by three residences. Drainage occurs as sheet flow into the Feather River located north of the site. According to the Preliminary Grading Plans prepared for the project (NorthStar, 2009), elevations across the site range from about 155 to 195 feet above mean sea level (MSL). 2.2.2 Subsurface Conditions In general, on-site subsurface soils consist predominately of alluvial fans with a distinct red color. Those materials were generally stiff The northern portion of the site is covered with medium dense to dense dredge tailings resulting from mining for gold in the gravels of the Feather River in the late 1800s through the mid -1900s. The southwestern portion of the site is covered with approximately 1.5 feet of artificial fill from grading operations after removal of three residential structures. The logs in Appendix A present specific soil descriptions encountered within each test pit. 2.3 GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS 2.3.1 Regional Geology The project site is located in the northern Sacramento Valley within the Great Valley Physiographic province. The Great Valley province is bordered to the north by the Klamath and Cascade Physiographic provinces, to the east by the Cascade and Sierra Nevada Physiographic provinces, to the west by the Klamath and Coast Ranges Physiographic provinces, and to , the south by the Transverse Ranges Physiographic province. The Great Valley Physiographic province is` about 50 miles wide and 400 miles long. The Sacramento Valley, which forms the northern portion of the province, is about 150 miles long and 40 miles wide (Hinds, 1952). According to Hackel (1966), "The Great Valley is a large elongate northwest -trending asymmetric structural trough that has been filled with a tremendously thick sequence of sediments ranging from Jurassic to recent." Sediment thicknesses of up to 10 miles are reported within the Sacramento Valley; however, in the project area, being at the northern margin of the valley, those thicknesses have been projected to be less than one mile (Hackel, 1966). Sediments within the Great Valley consist of both marine and continental deposits, with most of the sediments underlying the project area consisting of continental deposits. CGI: Copyright 2009 3 CG09GR017 2.3.2 Local Geologic Setting Modesto Formation,Lower Member (Qml). The project site is underlain predominately by the Modesto Formation (Helly & Harwood, 1985). These materials consist of distinctively red with minor brown gravely sand, silt and clay, derived from volcanic rocks of the Tuscan Formation. Artificial Fill (af). Artificial fill materials are locally present at the northern and the southwestern portion of the site. The former fills materials represent dredge tailings and more recent uncertified fill materials from grading operations after removal of former residences. The unengineered fill materials appear to range in thickness from one to two feet for the southwestern area and more than seven feet for the dredge tailings. Rock outcrops were observed at the limit between the project site and the existing Veteran's Hall. Large boulders, at least 5 feet in diameter, were observed on the surface of the eastern part of the site. 2.3.3 Groundwater Groundwater was not encountered within the test pits. It is anticipated that groundwater elevations will fluctuate over time; however the topography of the site suggests that it is unlikely that ground water will exist at shallow depth. The depth to groundwater can vary throughout the year and from year to year. Intense and long duration precipitation, modification of topography, and cultural land uses, such as irrigation, water well usage, on site waste disposal systems, and water diversions can contribute to fluctuations in groundwater levels. Localized saturated conditions or perched groundwater conditions near the ground surface should be anticipated during and following periods of heavy precipitation and snowmelt. If groundwater is encountered during construction, it is the Contractor's responsibility to install mitigation measures for adverse impacts caused by groundwater encountered in excavations. 3.0 GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS 3.1 GEOLOGICIL4Z4RD ZONES No mapped geologic hazards zones are known for the project region. 3.2 FAULTING & SEISMICITY 3.2.1 Seismic Setting The State of California designates faults as active, potentially active, and inactive depending on the recency of movement that can be substantiated for a fault. Fault activity is rated as follows: Fault Activity Ratings Fault Activity Rating Geologic Period of Time Interval (Years) Last Rupture Active Holocene Within last 11,000 Years Potentially Active Quaternary >11,000 to 1.6 Million Years Inactive Pre-Quatemary Greater than 1.6 Million Years CGI: Copyright 2009 4 CG09GRO17 The California Geologic Survey (CGS) evaluates the activity rating of a fault in fault evaluation reports (FER). FERs compile available geologic and seismologic data and evaluate if a fault should be zoned as active, potentially active, or inactive. If an FER evaluates a fault as active, then it is typically incorporated into a Special Studies Zone in accordance with the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Hazards Act (AP). AP Special Studies Zones require site-specific evaluation of fault location and require a structure setback if the fault is found traversing a project site. The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone and no active faults are known, to pass through the project site Qennings, 1994; Hart & Bryant, 1997). However, the closest active fault, as zoned by the State, is the Cleveland Hill Fault, located approximately 6 miles east of the site Qennings, 1994). Historically over the last approximately 200 years, 5 earthquakes with local magnitudes (NII.) equal or greater than 5.5 have occurred within approximately 50 miles of the site, based on a search of selected earthquake catalogs (Toppozada and Branum, 2002). The most recent significant earthquake to affect the project area was an earthquake with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 5.7 that occurred on August 1, 1975 approximately 6 miles (10 km) from the site. 3.2.2 CBC Design Recommendations At a minimum, structures should be designed in accordance with the 2007 California Building Code (CBC). seismic design criteria. CBC -based design requires the definition of the following seismic parameters: Site Class Designation; Site Coefficients (F, and Fes); Mapped spectral accelerations for short periods (SJ; and Mapped spectral accelerations for a 1 -second period (S).

No signs of landsliding, either former or incipient, were observed on or adjacent to the project property. It is our opinion that natural landslides pose no risk to the project. Potential man-made slope failures are discussed in greater detail in Sections 5.6.8, 5.7, and 5.13 of this report. 34- LIQUEFACTIONAND LATERAL SPREADING Liquefaction is described as the sudden loss of soil shear strength due to a rapid increase of soil pore water pressures caused by cyclic loading from a seismic event. In simple terms, it means that a CGI: Copyright 2009 5 CG09GR017 liquefied soil acts more like a fluid than a solid when shaken during an earthquake. In order for liquefaction to occur, the following are needed: ➢ Granular soils (sand, silty sand, sandy silt, and some gravels); ➢ A high groundwater table; and ➢ A low density in the granular soils underlying the site. If those criteria are present, then there is a potential that the soils could liquefy during a seismic event. The adverse effects of liquefaction include local and regional ground settlement, ground cracking and expulsion of water and sand, the partial or complete loss of bearing and confining forces used to support loads, amplification of seismic shaking, and lateral spreading. In general, the effects of liquefaction on the proposed project could include: ➢ Lateral spreading; 9 Vertical settlement; and/or ➢ The soils surrounding lifelines can lose their strength and those lifelines can become damaged or severed. Lateral spreading is defined as lateral earth movement of liquefied soils, or soil riding on a liquefied soil layer, down slope toward an unsupported slope face, such as a creek bank, or an inclined slope face. In general, lateral spreading has been observed on low to moderate gradient slopes, but has been noted on slopes inclined as flat as one degree. The Modesto Formation underlies the majority of the project site. Earth materials of that formation are relatively stiff with high fine content and partially cemented, and pose a low potential of liquefaction. Dredge tailings across the northern portion of site are composed of dense sandy gravel with high permeability therefore; do not pose a liquefaction potential issue for the project development. Thus, it is our opinion that liquefaction potential for this site is low. 3.5 EXPANSIVE POTENTIAL There is a direct relationship between plasticity of a soil and the potential for expansive behavior, with expansive soil generally having a high plasticity. Thus, granular soils typically have a low potential to be expansive, where as, clay -rich soils can have a low to high potential to be expansive. Atterberg limit testing performed on one selected sample recorded plasticity index (PI) of approximately 13. This PI correlates to material having a low expansion potential (Day, 1999). A6 SOIL CHEMISTRY A selected sample of the near -surface soil encountered at the site was subjected to chemical analysis for the purpose of assessment of corrosion and reactivity with concrete. The sample was tested for soluble sulfates and chlorides. Testing was conducted by Basic Laboratory of Redding and results are presented below, as well as included in the appendix of laboratory results. CGI: Copyright 2009 6 CG09GRO17 According to the ACI -318', a sulfate concentration below 0.10 percent by weight (1,000 ppm) is negligible. A chloride content of less than 500 ppm is generally considered non -corrosive to reinforced concrete. 4.0 ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF SIGNIFICANT EARTH MATERIALS The following section discusses selected engineering properties of critical earth materials that could be encountered during construction of the proposed project.

Specific comments and recommendations regarding the geotechnical aspects of project design and construction are presented in the following sections of this report. Recommendations presented, herein, are based upon the Conceptual Grading Plan dated April 29, 2009, and provided by Nothstar, along with stated assumptions. Changes in the configuration from those studied during this investigation may require supplemental recommendations. 5.2 FAULTING No known faults pass through the project site. Several faults have been mapped in the vicinity of the project area. The site does not he within the boundaries of an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone, therefore, it is our opinion that surface rupture potential is low. 5.3 LANDSLIDES No signs of landsliding, either former or incipient, were observed on or adjacent io the project property. It is our opinion that naturally occurring landslides pose a low risk to the project. See Sections 5.6.8, 5.7, and 5.13 of this report regarding temporary and man-made slope stability issues. 5.4 LIQUEFACTIONPOTENTIAL Based on our observations and material exposed during the investigation, it our opinion that liquefaction and lateral spreading have a relatively low risk of adversely affecting the proposed improvements. S.S EXPANSIVE POTENTIAL Atterberg limit testing performed on a select surficial sample recorded a plasticity index of approximately 13 for the majority of the materials that will be encountered on site This material correlates to material having a low expansion potential (Day, 1999). 5.6 SITE PREPARATIONANO GRADING 5.6.1 Stripping Prior to general site grading -and/or construction of planned improvements, existing vegetation, trees, organic topsoil, debris, and deleterious materials should be stripped and disposed of off-site or . outside the construction limits. It is anticipated that stripping depths will extend 2 to 6 inches deep, depending on the vegetative cover density and types. In addition, there are a number of trees, large stumps and shrubs that may have relatively dense accumulations of roots that are laterally and vertically extensive. These root balls could extend deeper than 3 feet below grade and should be removed during stripping. CGi should be allowed to observe stripped areas to confirm that adequate removal of organic, deleterious, and unsuitable materials have been properly stripped and removed from the site. CGI: Copyright 2009 g CG09GRO17 5.6.2 Existing Utilities, Wells, and/or Foundations Three residences existed at the southwestern portion of the site. No remains of the structures were observed during our site investigation. Below -grade utility lines, septic tanks, cesspools, wells, on- site waste disposal fields and tanks, and/or foundations that are encountered during construction should be removed and disposed of off-site. Buried tanks, if present, should be removed in compliance with applicable regulatory agency requirements. Existing, below -grade utility pipelines (if any) that extend beyond the limits of the proposed construction and will be abandoned in-place should be plugged with lean concrete or grout to prevent migration of soil and/or water. All excavations resulting from removal and demolition activities should be cleaned of loose or disturbed material prior to placing any fill or backfill. 5.6.3 Scarification and Compaction Following site stripping and overexcavation, areas to receive engineered fill should be scarified to a minimum depth of 8 inches, uniformly moisture -conditioned to near optimum moisture content, and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density as determined using standard test method ASTM D1557'. 5.6.4 Keying and Benching The portion of the proposed development area is located on sloping ground, some of which has slope inclinations exceeding 20 percent (5:1, horizontal to vertical), and significant fill placement is anticipated on these slopes. Therefore, keying and benching are anticipated to be required for this project. We recommend that on slopes inclined at 5:1 or steeper, that keyways be constructed in accordance to details presented on Plate 3 — Keying, Benching, & Subdrain Details. Keyways should be excavated a minimum of two feet into acceptable soil or rock materials, be a minimum of 10 feet wide, and the bottom of the keyway should be inclined into the cut slope a minimum of 4 percent. Keyways should be observed and approved by a CGI engineer or geologist. Once a keyway has been excavated and approved, a subdrain should be installed along the entire length of the keyway at back of the keyway to capture and divert groundwater away from engineered fill materials used to construct the fill slope, as shown on Detail 1 on Plate 3. It is recommended that collector pipelines that take water from the subdrains and extend through engineered fill materials to daylight and drain onto the ground surface be constructed using solid (unperforated) piping materials. As engineered fill materials are placed within the keyway, per recommendations of Section 5.6.13 of this report, benches should be graded into the cut to tie the engineered filland competent intact soil and rock materials together. As noted on Plate 3, benches should be a minimum of 6 feet wide and have vertical backcuts at least 4 feet tall. The benches should be inclined into the cut slope a minimum of 2 percent. Subdrains should be installed at the back of the benches at no more then 1 This test procedure applies wherever relative compaction, maximum dry density, or optimum moisture content is referenced within this report. CGI: Copyright 2009 9 CG09GR017 15 -vertical -foot and/or 30 -horizontal -foot intervals, whichever comes first. The subdrains can be tied into the keyway subdrain to drain from one outlet, or they, can drain individually. It is recommended that collector pipelines that take water from the subdrains . and extend through engineered fill materials to daylight onto the ground surface be constructed using solid (unperforated) piping materials. 5.6.5, Wet/Unstable Soil Conditions If site preparation or grading is performed in the winter, spring, or early summer seasons, or shortly after significant precipitation, near -surface on-site soils may be significantly over optimum moisture content. This condition could hinder equipment access as well"as efforts to compact site soils to a specified level of compaction. In addition, perched water can be present in subsurface layers throughout the year and contribute to wet soil conditions. If over optimum soil moisture content conditions are encountered during construction, disking to aerate, replacement with imported material, chemical treatment, stabilization with a geotextile fabric or grid, -and/or other methods will likely be required to facilitate earthwork operations. The applicable, method of stabilization is the contractor's responsibility and will depend on the contractor's capabilities and experience, as well as other project -related factors beyond the scope of this investigation. Therefore, if over -optimum moisture within the soil is encountered during construction, CGI should review these conditions (as well as the contractor's capabilities) and, if requested, provide recommendations for their treatment. 5.6.6 Site Drainage Finished grading should be performed in such a manner that provides a minimum of 10 horizontal feet of positive surface gradient away from proposed structures. The ponding of water should not be allowed adjacent to structures, retaining walls, or the top of fill sections. Interceptor drains should be constructed above all cut and fill slopes to prevent water from flowing over those -slopes. Surface runoff should be directed toward engineered collection systems or suitable discharge areas and not allowed to flow onto or over slopes. Discharge from roof downspouts should also be collected, conveyed in solid (unperforated) pipelines, and discharged away from all structures and into engineered systems, such as storm drains. Landscape plantings around structures should be avoided or be dry climate tolerant and require minimal irrigation. Care should be taken to avoid overwatering all landscaping. 5.6.7 Excavation Characteristics & Bulldng Explorations for this project were advanced using a rubber -tired backhoe. In general, earth materials encountered during this study were penetrated with relatively minimal to moderate effort using this equipment. It is our opinion that soils present at .the site should be excavatable using conventional heavy grading equipment operated by experienced personnel. Large cobbles and boulders, if encountered within those soils, could pose difficult excavation conditions. Rock outcrops were observed at the western margin of the site, near the Veteran's Hall. Bulking or shrinkage of excavated materials at the project site can be estimated using the following information: CGI: Copyright 2009 10 CG09GRO17 Shrinkage & Bulking Factors Material Bulking Shrinkage Modesto Formation, upper 3 feet 2% to 5% Modesto Formation, below 3 feet 2% to 5% Dred eg Tailing 5% to 7% Uncertified Fill - Unknown Unknown These factors should be included in volume calculations for on-site soils that are excavated then compacted per recommendations within this report. 5.6.8 Temporary & Permanent Slopes This section explicitly excludes trench slopes for buried utilities. Temporary trench excavations are discussed in Section 5.7.1 of this report. Temporary construction slopes for keyway and bench construction can be constructed at V2:1 inclinations if the temporary cut slopes are less then 6 feet in height. All other temporary slopes should be constructed no steeper then 1:1. Permanent slopes should be constructed at inclinations of 2:1 or flatter. In isolated areas where a cut slope is less than 8 feet tall, is adequately protected from erosion, and is not intended to support structures or surcharges, then the cut slope can be constructed at inclinations of 1.5:1 or flatter, per Section J106 of the 2007 CBC. In order to comply with CBC regulations, minimum setbacks for proposed structures should be equivalent to the height of the slope divided by 3, but need not exceed 40 feet. If the desired setbacks are less than these requirements, then the foundations of the structures should be deepened or opt for alternate setbacks in accordance with requirements of section 1805.3.5 of 2007 CBC. 5.6.9 Overexcavation & Subdrains Overexcavation of selected soils should be performed during grading of the project site. We recommend that compressible alluvium, and uncertified fill materials encountered during rough grading be overexcavated. A CGi engineer or geologist should observe and approve the overexcavated areas to confirm that those materials have been fully removed prior to placement of engineered fill materials. Overexcavated materials containing organics, debris, or deleterious materials should be removed from the project site and disposed of at an approved location. It is our recommendation to overexcavate the dredge tailings at least five feet below the finish elevation of the retaining wall foundation or to competent material. Areas that are overexcavated'should be backfilled with engineered fill materials, in accordance with recommendations presented in Section 5.6.13 of this report. CGI: Copyright 2009 11 CG09GR017 a 5.6.10 On -Site Soil Materials It is our opinion that most of the near -surface soils encountered at the site can be used for general engineered fill provided it is free of organics, debris, oversized particles (>3") and deleterious materials. If highly plastic clayey materials (materials having a plasticity index exceeding 30 and a liquid limit in excess of 50) are encountered during grading, those materials should be segregated and excluded from engineered fill, where possible, or thoroughly mixed with granular materials to reduce the plasticity of the soil.. The existing artificial fill materials encountered during exploration can also be re -used as engineered fill provided those materials are screened of organics, woody debris, refuse, and deleterious materials. If potentially unsuitable soil is considered for use as engineered fill, CGI should observe, test, and provide recommendations as to the suitability of the material prior to placement as engineered fill. 5.6.11 Imported Fill Materials - General If imported fill materials are used for this project, they should consist of soil and/or soil -aggregate mixtures. generally less than 3 inches in maximum dimension, nearly free of organic or other deleterious debris, and essentially non -plastic. Typically, well -graded mixtures of gravel, sand, non- plastic silt, and small quantities of clay are acceptable for use as imported engineered fill within foundation areas. Imported fill materials should be sampled and tested prior to importation to the project site to verify that those materials meet recommended material criteria noted below. Specific requirements for imported fill materials, as well as applicable test procedures to verify material suitability are as follows: IMPORTED FILL RECOMMENDATIONS GRADATION Sieve Size General Fill Granular Fill Test Procedures Percent Passing ASTM AASHTO 3 -inch 100 100 D422 T88 3/4 -inch 70-100 70-100 D422 T88 No. 200 0-30 <5 D422 T88 PLASTICITY Liquid Limit <30 NA D4318 T89 Plastic Limit <12 Nonplastic D4318 T90 ORGANIC CONTENT <3% <3% D2974 NA 5.6.12 Materials - Granular I All granular fill should consist of imported soil mixtures generally less than 3 inches in maximum dimension, nearly free of organic or other deleterious debris, and essentially non -plastic. Specific requirements for granular fill, as well as applicable test procedures to verify material suitability are presented in Section 5.6.11 of this report. CGI: Copyright 2009 12 CG09GRO17 5.6.13 Placement & Compaction Soil and/or soil -aggregate mixtures used for fill should be uniformly moisture -conditioned to within 3 percent of optimum moisture content, placed in horizontal lifts less than 8 inches in loose thickness, and compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction. Testing should be performed to verify that the relative compactions are being obtained as recommended herein. Compaction testing, at a minimum, should consist of one test per every 500 cubic yards of soil being placed or at every 1.5 -foot vertical fill interval, whichever comes first. We recommend that CGI be retained to perform compaction testing to verify compliance with our recommendations. In general, a "sheep's foot" or "wedge foot" compactor should be used to compact fine-grained fill materials. A vibrating smooth drum roller could be used to compact granular fill.materials and final fill surfaces. 5.7 UTILITYTRENCHSANDTRENCHBACICFILL 5.7.1 Trenches and Dewatering Utility trenches greater than 5 feet deep should be braced or, shored in accordance with good construction practices and all applicable safety ordinances. In general, the only soils having a tendency to run or flow were dredge tailings; however, there is a potential that shallow un -shored trenches excavated, in the remain areas of the site, with sidewalls steeper than 1:1 could locally cave: The actual construction of the trench walls and worker safety is the sole responsibility of the contractor. Heavy construction equipment, building materials, excavated soil, and vehicular traffic should not be allowed within a 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) projection from the toe of the trench excavation to the ground surface. Where the stability of adjoining buildings, walls,' buried utilities within the trench sidewalls, or other structures is endangered by excavation operations, support systems such as shoring, bracing, or underpinning may be required to provide structural stability and to protect personnel working within the excavation. No groundwater was observed in the excavated test pits: Groundwater might be encountered within the depths of typical trench excavations and could enter utility trenches excavated for this project. If groundwater is encountered during construction, it is recommended that the contractor install measures to capture and/or divert groundwater from entering the'ekcavation. If this is not possible, then the contractor should channel groundwater to flow towards collection points to be removed from the trench and disposed of at an approved area. 5.7.2 Materials Pipe zone backfill (i.e., material placed from the trench bottom to a minimum of 6 inches over the pipeline crown) should consist of imported soil having a Sand Equivalent (SE) of no less than 30 and having a particle size no greater than '/2 -inch in maximum dimension. On site soils will likely not meet this recommendation. Trench zone backfill (i.e., material placed between the pipe zone 2 This test procedure applies wherever relative compaction, maximum dry density, or optimum moisture content is referenced within this report. CGI: Copyright 2009 13 CG09GR017 backfill and finished subgrade) may consist of on-site soil that meets the material requirements previously provided for engineered fill with 100% passing the 3/4 -inch sieve. If imported material is used for pipe or trench zone backfill, we recommend it consist of fine- grained sand. In general, use of coarse-grained sand, crushed rock, and/or gravel is not recommended due. to the potential for soil migration into and water seepage along trenches backfilled with this type of material. Recommendations provided above for pipe zone backfill are minimum requirements only. More stringent material specifications may be required to fulfill local codes and/or bedding requirements for specific types of pipe. We recommend the project Civil Engineer develop these material specifications based on planned pipe types, bedding conditions, and other factors beyond the scope of this study. 5.7.3 Placement and Compaction Trench backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with recommendations previously provided for engineered fill. Mechanical compaction is strongly, recommended; ponding, flooding, and jetting should not be allowed during construction. It should be noted that if in rare instances, ponding, flooding, or jetting are allowed, the pipe zone backfill materials should have an SE of 50 or greater and should'be less than '/2 -inch in maximum dimension. In addition, a number of additional conditions for collection and removal of excess ponded, flooded, or jetted water will be required if those methods are utilized during construction. Special care should be given to ensuring that adequate compaction is made beneath the haunches of the pipeline (that area from the pipe springline to the pipe invert) and that no voids remain in this space. 5.7.4 Trench Subgrade Stabilization Soft and yielding trench subgrade could be encountered along the bottom of trench excavations. It is recommended that the bottom of trenches be stabilized prior to placement of the pipeline bedding so that, in the judgment of the geotechnical engineer, the trench subgrade is firm and unyielding. The Contractor should have the sole responsibility for design and implementation of trench subgrade stabilization techniques. Some methods that we have observed used to stabilize trench subgrades include the following: I I ➢ Use of 3/4—inch to 1'/2 -inch floatrock worked into the trench bottom and covered with a geotextile fabric such as Mirafi 500X; ➢ Placement of a geotextile fabric, such as Mirafi 500X,.on the trench bottom and covered with at least one foot of compacted processed miscellaneous base (PMB) conforming to the requirements of Section 200-2.5 of the Greenbook, latest edition; ➢ . Overexcavation of trench subgrade and placement of two -sack sand -cement slurry; and ➢ In extreme conditions, injection grouting along the trench alignment. If floatrock is used, typically sand with an SE of 50 or more should be used to fill the voids in the rock prior to placement of pipe bedding materials. CGI: Copyright 2009 14 CG09GRO17 5.7.5 Trench Plugs The use of relatively clean sand and crushed rock within utility trench backfill can form a path of migration of groundwater through these materials, since they tend to have a higher permeability then the native soils and engineered fill materials. If these materials are used as backfill, a lower permeability plug should be placed and compacted within the trench at regular intervals. We recommend that the lower permeability material consist of grout or a well graded soil with greater than 30 percent passing the No. 200 sieve. The plug should be placed for a length of 3 feet at an interval of about every 300 feet along the length of the trench. If structures are situated at elevations lower than utility pipeline servicing the buildings, there is a potential' that water might migrate along the pipeline bedding and beneath the structures. We recommend that if such conditions are present, a lower permeability plug should be placed and compacted within the trench at the service stub from the main utility and where the utility penetrates the structure's perimeter foundation. We recommend that the lower permeability material consist of grout or bentonite. The plug should be keyed into the trench sidewall and bottom a minimum of 6 inches, extend from the trench bottom to the top of trench, and be a minimum of 2 feet wide. 5.8 FOUNDATIONS 5.8.1 Minimum Footing Embedment and Dimensions The only proposed structure for this phase of the project is a public toilet facility. Minimum embedment depths, widths, and thicknesses of footings should conform to Table 1805.4.2 of the CBC, but should be determined by the Structural Engineer. Transition lots, where structures span across both native cut materials and engineered fills; can lead to differential settlement issues. Foundations should not span both cuts and fills unless engineered fill thicknesses are less than two feet thick beneath the bottom of footings. Where proposed foundations span both cuts and fills, we recommend that: • The area of cuts supporting the proposed foundations should be overexcavated below the planned bottom of footings to a depth of at least 3 times the width of the foundation. CGI should observe and approve the overexcavated area once exposed. Overexcavation limits should extend throughout the cut area and to a minimum of five horizontal feet past the perimeter foundations of the structure. The overexcavated area should then be backfilled in accordance with recommendations presented in Section 5.6.13 of this report; or • Proposed foundations should be deepened to extend through engineered fill materials and extending at least 2 feet into undisturbed native soils, so that the entire foundation system for the structure rests on undisturbed native soils. If this depth is less then 5 feet below the planned bottom of the foundation, then a two -sack sand -cement slurry can be used as backfill in lieu of structural concrete, from the excavation bottom up to the planned bottom of the proposed foundation. CGI should observe and approve the deepened foundation excavation prior to placement of slurry,or structural concrete. CGI: Copyright 2009 15 CG09GRO17 Deepened footing excavations should extend below any observed yielding material. If soft, yielding, or unsuitable soil is encountered during construction, CGI should review these conditions (as well as the contractor's capabilities) and, if requested, provide recommendations for their treatment. It should be noted that frost heave is not typically a hazard in the area and is generally not considered in design of foundation systems. Therefore, no recommendations for frost protection have been provided herein. 5.8.2 Allowable Bearing Capacity It is assumed that all structure foundations for the proposed buildings will rest entirely on cut or entirely on engineered fill. The foundations must not be constructed partially on fill and partially on cut. Isolated and continuous footing elements should be proportioned for dead loads plus probable maximum live load, and a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. The allowable bearing pressures provided are net values. Therefore, the weight of the foundation (which extends below finished subgrade) may be neglected when computing dead loads. The allowable bearing pressure applies to dead plus live loads and includes a calculated factor of safety of at least 3. An increase of allowable bearing pressure by one-third for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces should NOT be incorporated unless an alternative load combination, as described in Section 1605.3.2, of the 2007 CBC, is applied. The allowable bearing value is for vertical loads only; eccentric loads may require adjustment to the values recommended above. 5.8.3 Lateral Earth Pressures Subsurface structures should be designed to resist the earth pressure exerted by the retained, compacted backfill plus any additional lateral force that will be applied due to surface loads placed at or near the wall or below -grade structure. Recommended design criteria for subsurface structures are presented below: The recommended equivalent fluid weights presented below are for static (non -earthquake) conditions with the ground level or inclined at 2:1 behind the shoring system. Lateral Earth Pressures Under Static Conditions Lateral Earth Slope Inclination Equivalent Fluid Weight (pcl) Pressure Condition Above Structure Moist to Wet Conditions At -Rest Flat 90 2:1 100 Active Flat 60 2:1 70 The resultant force of the static lateral force prism should be applied at a distance of 30 percent of the wall height above the soil elevation on the toe side of the wall. Because the backfill material behind the proposed retaining wall is unknown, the tabulated values are based on a soil as mixture of inorganic silt and clay of low to moderate plasticity and a unit weight of 120 pounds per cubic CGI: Copyright 2009 16 CG09GR017 foot (pcf), and do not provide for surcharge conditions resulting from construction materials, equipment, or vehicle traffic. Loads not considered as surcharges should bear behind a 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) line projected upward from the base of the shoring. If surcharges are expected, CGI should be advised so that we can provide additional recommendations as needed. 5.8.4 Minimum Footing Reinforcement Footing reinforcement should be designed by a Structural Engineer and should conform to pertinent structural code requirements. Minimum footing reinforcement should not be less than that required for shrinkage, temperature control, and structural integrity. 5.8.5 Estimated Settlements The proposed structures should not rest partially on fill and partially on cut. All foundations are anticipated to rest on native soils or engineering fill. Anticipated total settlement for the proposed structure foundations, if construction occurs as recommended within this report, should be less than one inch. Differential settlement for the structure foundations is anticipated to be less than 'A -inch in 20 feet or 3/4 -inch over 30 feet. 5.8.6 Construction Considerations Prior to placing steel or concrete, foundation excavations should be cleaned of all debris, loose or disturbed soil, and any water. A representative of CGI should observe all foundation excavations prior to concrete placement. 5.9 SLIDING AND PASSIVE RESISTANCE 5.9.1 Sliding Resistance Ultimate sliding resistance generated through a compacted soil/concrete interface can be computed by multiplying the total dead weight structural loads by the friction coefficient of 0.25 and 0:30 for artificial fill/native soils and imported granular engineered fill, respectively. 5.9.2 Passive Resistance Ultimate passive resistance developed from lateral bearing of shallow foundation elements bearing against compacted soil surfaces for that portion of the foundation element extending below a depth of 1 foot below the lowest adjacent grade can be estimated using an equivalent fluid weight of 150 pcf. Passive resistance of the upper one foot of the soil column should be neglected. 5.9.3 Safety Factors Sliding resistance and passive pressure may be used together without reduction in conjunction with recommended safety factors outlined below. A minimum factor of safety of 2 is recommended for foundation sliding, where sliding resistance and passive pressure are used together. The safety factor for sliding can be reduced to 1.5 if passive pressure is neglected. CGI: Copyright 2009 17 CG09GRO 17 5.10 . INTERIOR CONCRETE FLOOR SLABS SUPPORTED ON -GRADE 5.10.1 General All ground -supported slabs should be designed by a Civil Engineer to support the anticipated loading conditions but, as a minimum, should be at least 4 inches thick. Reinforcement for floor slabs should be designed by a Civil Engineer to maintain structural integrity, and should -not be less than that required to meet pertinent code, shrinkage, and temperature requirements. Reinforcement should be placed at mid -thickness in the slab with provisions to ensure it stays in that position during construction and concrete placement. The mat slab can be designed using a flat slab on an elastic half -space analog. A modulus of subgrade reaction (ks) of 50 kcf is recommended for design of mat -type foundations. That modulus of subgrade reaction.value represents a presumptive value based on soil classification. No plate -load tests were performed as part of this study. The modulus value is for a 1 -foot -square plate and must be corrected for mat size and shape, assuming a cohesionless subgrade. 5.10.2 Subgrade Preparation Subgrade soils supporting interior concrete floor slabs should be scarified to a minimum depth of 8 inches, uniformly moisture -conditioned to near the optimum moisture content, and compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction. 5.10.3 Rock Capillary Break/Vapor Barrier Interior concrete floor slabs supported -on -grade should be underlain by a capillary break consisting of a blanket of compacted, free -draining, durable rock at least 4 inches thick, graded such that 100 percent passes the 1 -inch sieve and less than 5 percent passes the No. 4 sieve.3 Furthermore, a vapor barrier should be placed beneath all interior concrete floor slabs supported -on -grade that will be covered with moisture -sensitive floor coverings. This barrier may consist of a plastic or vinyl membrane placed directly over the rock capillary break. The vapor barrier should be sealed around all penetrations, including utilities. If a vapor barrier is not installed, there is a risk of moisture vapors and salts penetrating the slab -on -grade. For this project, flooring materials on slabs -on -grade are unknown. It is our recommendation that American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines ACI 302 and ACI 360 be referred to regarding installation of vapor barriers based on the anticipated flooring materials to be installed. A capillary break and/or vapor barrier may not be required for some types of construction (such as equipment buildings, warehouses, garages, and other uninhabited structures insensitive to water intrusion and/or vapor transmission through the slab). For these types of structures, the gravel capillary break and/or vapor barrier recommended above may be omitted and the slab placed directly on the prepared subgrade or other approved surface. In the event a capillary break and/or vapor barrier is not to be used, CGI should review the planned structure in order to assess the 3 In general, Caltrans Class 2 aggregate base (or similar material) does not meet the requirements provided above for a capillary break. Therefore, we recommend this material not be used for a capillary break beneath interior concrete slabs supported -on -grade. CGI: Copyright 2009 18 CG09GR017 I 1 , applicability of the approach and provide (if necessary) additional recommendations regarding subgrade preparation and/or support. 5.11 EXTERIOR CONCRETE SLABS SUPPORTED -ON -GRADE Subgrade soils supporting exterior concrete slabs' should be scarified to a minimum depth of 1 -foot, uniformly moisture -conditioned to near the optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction. In the event the exposed subgrade is dense and uniformly compacted, scarification and compaction may be omitted if approved by CGI during construction. 5.12 RETAINING WALLS 5.12.1 Lateral Earth Pressures It is our understanding that a retaining wall is proposed for the overlook terrace. This retaining wall should be designed to resist earth pressures exerted by the retained, compacted backfill plus any additional lateral force that will be applied to the wall due to surface loads placed at or near the wall. The recommended equivalent fluid weights are presented in section 5.8.3 of this report. The resultant force of the static lateral force prism should be applied at a distance of 30 percent of the wall height above the bottom of the foundation on the back of the wall. The tabulated values are based on a soil unit weight of 120 pounds per cubic foot (pco, and do not provide for surcharge conditions resulting from foundations, vehicle traffic, or compaction equipment. The drained values do not provide for hydrostatic forces (for example, standing water in the backfill materials). Foundation loads not considered as surcharges should bear behind a 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) line projected upward from the base of the wall. If conditions such as surcharge resulting from footings or hydrostatic forces are expected, CGI should be advised so that we can provide additional recommendations as needed. Surcharge loads induce additional pressures on earth retaining structures. An additional lateral load on non -yielding walls equal to 0.5 times the applied surcharge pressure should be included in the design for uniform area surcharge pressures. Lateral pressures for other surcharge loading conditions can be provided, if required. 5.12.2 Drainage Measures Drainage measures should be constructed behind the proposed retaining walls to reduce the potential for groundwater accumulation. To help reduce the potential for the buildup of hydrostatic forces behind walls, a granular free -draining backfill, at least 2 feet thick, should be placed behind the wall, as shown on Plate 4 — Retaining Wall Details. The two -foot thick layer can be decreased to one foot in thickness if wrapped with a geosynthetic filter fabric, as discussed on Plate 4; however, the structural engineer should be consulted to confirm that the retaining wall is design to withstand potential increased stresses due to compaction closer to the wall. The free -draining backfill should i Within this report, exterior concrete slabs supported -on -grade refers to walkways, patios, etc. and specifically excludes roadway pavements. CGI: Copyright 2009 , 19 CG09GR017 consist of clean, coarse-grained material with no more than 5 percent passing the No. 200 sieve. Acceptable backfill would be: ■ Pervious Backfill conforming to Item 300-3.5.2 of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook), most current edition; ■ Permeable Material (Class 2) conforming to Item 68-1.025 if the Caltrans Standard Specifications, most current edition; ■ Pea gravel having a nominal diameter or'/4-inch; or ■ Crushed stone sized between'/4-inch and 1/2 -inch. In lieu of free -draining backfill materials of the types suggested above, manufactured (geosynthetic) drainage systems (for example MiraDrain manufactured by TC Mirafi, Inc., or equivalent) can be used against retaining or below -grade walls. Manufacturer recommendations for the installation and maintenance of these products should generally be followed, although they should be reviewed by CGI for approval. In addition, manufactured drainage systems should be attached to the retaining wall face as opposed to the excavated slope face. This implies that provisions to protect the integrity of the drainage panels will need to be made while fill materials are placed behind the walls. A perforated drainpipe system should be installed at the base of the wall to collect water from the free -draining material and/or geosynthetic drainage system. The drainpipe system should allow gravity drainage of the collected water away from the buried wall or, as a less preferred option, should be tied into a sump and pump system to remove the water to an acceptable outlet facility. Finish surface grades should be sloped away from the retaining walls and designed to channel water to an acceptable collection and offsite disposal system. Provisions should be included for removal of surface runoff that may tend to collect behind the backs of walls and for drainage of water away from the fronts of walls. Also, provisions should be included to mitigate the infiltration of surface water into the below -ground, free -draining backfill/geosynthetic drainage system by placing a minimum of 18 -inches of low permeability compacted soil over the top of those materials. 5.12.3 Dynamic Earth Pressures For unrestrained walls, the increase in lateral earth pressure acting on the wall resulting from earthquake loading can be estimated using the approach of Seed and Whitman (1970). That theory is based on the assumption that sufficient wall movement occurs during seismic shaking to allow active earth pressure conditions to develop. For restrained walls, the increase in lateral earth pressure resulting from earthquake loading also can be estimated using these relations. Because that theory is based on the assumption that sufficient movement occurs so that active earth pressure conditions develop during seismic shaking, the applicability of the theory to restrained or basement walls is not direct; however, there have been studies (Nadim and Whitman, 1992) that suggest the theory can be used for such walls. CGI: Copyright 2009 20 CG09GRO17 In the Seed and Whitman (1970) approach, the total dynamic pressure can be divided into static and dynamic components. The estimated dynamic lateral force increase (based on seismic loading conditions) for either unrestrained or restrained walls, could be taken as the following: PE=3/8*Pla*Yt*H2 Where: PE = Seismically -induced horizontal force (lbs per lineal foot of wall) pga . = Peak Ground. Acceleration (g) Y, = Total unit weight of backfill (pco H = Height of the wall below the ground surface (ft) Peak ground acceleration (pga) values for the site are provided in Section 3.2.2 of this report. The centroid of the dynamic lateral force increment should be applied at a distance of 0.6*H above the base of the wall. To estimate the total lateral force, the dynamic lateral force increase should be added to the static earth pressure force computed using recommendations for active lateral earth pressures presented above. That recommendation is based on the concept that during shaking, earth pressures recommended for permanent conditions will be reduced to those more closely approximating active conditions. 5.12.4 Compaction Adjacent to Walls Backfill within 5 feet, measured horizontally, behind retaining walls should be compacted with relatively lightweight, hand -operated compaction equipment to reduce the potential for creation of relatively large compaction -induced stresses. If large or heavy compaction equipment is used, compaction -induced stresses could result in increased lateral earth pressures on the retaining walls in addition to those presented in this report. Backfill material should be brought up uniformly behind retaining walls (in other words, the backfill should be at about the same elevation behind the retaining wall as the backfill is placed and compacted). The elevation difference of the backfill surface behind the wall should not be' greater than about 2 feet, unless the walls are designed for those differences. 5.12.5 Retaining Wall Differential Settlement Retaining walls that span across cut -fill lines have the potential to experience differential settlement much like structures, as discussed in Section 5.8.1 of this report. Differential settlement of walls can result in cracking and deformation of the walls, whether they consist of concrete cantilever, segmental block, or other retaining wall systems. Where proposed retaining wall foundations span both cuts and fills, we recommend that either: 1) recommendations made in Section 5.8.1 be performed; 2) control joints be established in the retaining walls at the cut -fill daylight line location; or 3) the retaining wall be designed by a structural engineer to be sufficiently rigid to resist stresses induced by anticipated differential settlement along the retaining wall. CGI: Copyright 2009 21 CG09GRO17 5 1 SHORING CONSIDERATIONS If shoring systems are utilized in this project, they should be designed to resist earth pressures exerted by the retained soils plus any additional lateral force that will be applied to the shoring due to surface loads placed at or near the excavation. Retaining systems that are free to rotate or translate laterally (for example, cantilevered retaining walls) through a horizontal distance to shoring height ratio of no less than 0.004 are referred to as unrestrained or yielding retaining structures. Such shoring systems can generally move enough to develop active conditions. Retaining systems that are unable to rotate or deflect laterally (for example, restrained basement walls) are referred to as restrained or non -yielding. If such shoring systems cannot move or translate very much, then at - rest conditions develop. Recommended equivalent fluid weights for active and at -rest conditions are presented in Section 5.8.3. 5.14 PAVEMENT DESIGN 5.14.1 R -Values An R -value test was performed on a selected sample of on-site soils obtained during subsurface exploration at the site. The R -value test was performed in accordance with Caltrans test method CT -301 and is presented in Appendix B. A laboratory R -value of 14 was obtained from the testing. Because the actual subgrade materials that will be present at finish subgrade are unknown at this time, we recommend that confirmatory R -value tests be obtained during construction. If construction R -values are significantly different than the R -value reported above, then we can modify the pavement design at that time to reflect the constructed conditions. 5.14.2 Subgrade Preparation All subgrade soils should be scarified to a minimum depth of 1 -foot, moisture conditioned as necessary to near optimum moisture conditions and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by AASHTO (American Association. of State Highway and Transportation Officials) Test Method T-180. The subgrade should be smooth and unyielding prior to the placement of aggregate base rock. Density testing and proof rolling of the subgrade using a loaded water truck should be performed with satisfactory results prior to placement of the aggregate base rock. Concrete curbs and landscape planters that border pavement sections should be embedded into the subgrade soils a minimum of 2 inches to reduce the migration of meteoric and irrigation water into the pavement section. 5.14.3 Aggregate Base The aggregate baserock (AB) should be of such quality as to meet or exceed Caltrans specifications for Class 2 AB and should have a minimum R -value of 78. The AB should be spread in thin lifts restricted to 8 inches in loose thickness or less, moisture conditioned as necessary to near optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density as CGI: Copyright 2009 22 CG09GRO17 J 1 � determined by AASHTO T-180. Density testing and/or proof rolling should be performed prior to placement of the asphalt paving. 5.14.4 Asphalt Concrete Paving An R -value obtained for this study had a value of 14. Traffic indices (fT) for proposed project access roads and parking areas were, not available to us at the preparation time of this report. To provide recommendations for structural pavement sections, we evaluated design criteria for three TIs: 4, 6, and 8. Using those criteria, we have prepared AC structural pavement section recommendations. Recommendations for full depth AC, and AC and AB sections are provided in the following table: Traffic Type B AC Class 2 AB Thickness Section Index Thickness (ft) 4 0.45 - - - Full Depth 6 0.70 - - - AC 8 0.90 --- 4 --4 0.17 0.65 AC and AB 6 0.25 1.00 8 0.40 1.30 Asphalt paving materials and equipment should meet or exceed current Caltrans specifications. 6.0 REVIEW OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS We recommend CGI conduct a general review of final plans and specifications to evaluate that recommendations contained herein have been properly interpreted and implemented during design. In the event that CGI is not retained to perform this recommended review, we will assume no responsibility for misinterpretation of our recommendations. 7.0 GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATION AND TESTING DURING GRADING This report was based, in part, upon review of data obtained from a limited number of observations, site visits, soil excavations, samples, and tests. Such information is, by necessity, incomplete. The nature of many sites is such that differing soils or geologic conditions can be experienced within small distances and under varying climatic conditions. Changes in subsurface conditions can and do occur over time. Therefore, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations presented in this report are only valid if CGi has the opportunity to observe subsurface conditions during grading in order to confirm that our collected data are representative for the site. CGI: Copyright 2009, 23 CG09GR017 I. 1 8.0 LIMITATIONS This report has been prepared in substantial accordance with the generally accepted geotechnical engineering practice, as it existed in the site area at the time our services were rendered. No other warranty, either express or implied, is made. The recommendations provided in this report are based on the assumption that an adequate program of tests and observations, as described in Section 7.0, will be conducted by CGI during the construction phase in order to evaluate compliance with our recommendations. Conclusions and recommendations contained in this report were based on the conditions encountered during our field investigation and are applicable only to those project features described herein (see Section 1.1 — Project Understanding). Soil and rock deposits can vary in type, strength, and other geotechnical properties between points of observation and exploration. Additionally, groundwater and soil moisture conditions can also vary seasonally and for other reasons. Therefore, we do not and cannot have a complete knowledge of the subsurface conditions underlying the project site. The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the findings at the point of exploration, and interpolation and extrapolation of information between and beyond the points of observation, and are subject to confirmation based on the conditions revealed by construction. If conditions encountered during construction differ from those described in this report, or if the scope or nature of the proposed construction changes, we should be notified immediately in order to review and, if deemed necessary, conduct additional studies and/or provide supplemental recommendations. The scope of services provided by CGI for this project did not include the investigation and/or evaluation of toxic substances, or soil or groundwater contamination of any type. If such conditions are encountered during site development, additional studies may be required. Further, services provided by CGI for this project did not include the evaluation of the presence of critical environmental habitats or culturally sensitive areas. This report may be used only by our client and their agents and only for the purposes stated herein, within a reasonable time from its issuance. Land use, site conditions, and other factors may change over time that may require additional studies. In the event significant time elapses between the issuance date of this report and construction, CGI shall be notified of such occurrence in order to review current conditions. Depending on that review, CGI may require that additional studies be conducted and that an updated or revised report is issued. Any party other than our client who wishes to use all or any portion of this report shall notify CGI of such intended use. Based on the intended use as well as other site -related factors, CGI may require that additional studies be conducted and that an updated or revised report be issued. Failure to comply with any of the requirements outlined above by the client or any other party shall release CGI from any liability arising from the unauthorized use of this report.

Test pit locations are shown on Plates 2. The test pits were excavated on July 1, 2009 using a Caterpillar 420D rubber -tire backhoe. The test pits were excavated to depths ranging from approximately 3 to 7 feet below the existing ground surface. Select samples of surficial soils were collected from the test pits for laboratory classification and testing. The results of the testing procedures are attached within Appendix B. The exploration logs describe the earth materials encountered. The logs also show the location, exploration number, date of exploration, and the names of the logger and equipment used. A CGI geologist, using ASTM 2488 for visual soil classification, logged the explorations. The boundaries between soil types shown on the log are approximate because the transition between different soil layers may be gradual and may change with time. Excavation logs for this study are presented as Plate A-1.1 through A- 1.4. CGI: Copyright 2009 1 ( CG09GR017 A" y•f 14 DREDGE TAILINGS (af) LOG OF EXPLORATION: TP -1 a ` �.

PLATE NO.: A-2.4 APPENDIX B LABORATORY TESTING LaboratoryAnalyses Laboratory tests were performed on selected bulk soil samples to estimate engineering characteristics of the various earth materials encountered. Testing was performed under procedures described in one of the following references: ♦ ASTM Standards for Soil Testing, latest revision; ♦ Lambe, T. William, Soil Testing for Engineers, Wiley, New York,1951; ♦ Laboratory Soils Testing, U.S. Army, Office of the Chief of Engineers; Engineering Manual No. 1110-2-1906, November 30,1970. - Plasticity Index Test Atterberg Limits (plastic limit, liquid limit, and plasticity index) tests were performed on a selected sample in accordance with standard test method ASTM D4318. Results of the Atterberg Limits tests are presented in the report text and on the attached plate labeled Atterberg Limits Tests. Limited Cbnosion Testing' Soil chemistry tests were performed to evaluate the chloride and sulfate concentrations within one sample of on-site soils tested. The results of the test are attached to this appendix. I Grain Size Diseribution Grain size distribution was determined for one selected soil samples in accordance with standard test method ASTM D1140. The grain_ size, distribution data are shown on the attached plate labeled Laboratog Sieve Analysis. Resistance R_ Value Test One R -value test was performed on a selected relatively undisturbed sample using standard test method California Test Method 301. The results of the test are presented on the attached plate labeled R -Value. t Moisture Density Relations The compaction characteristics of a selected bulk soil sample were estimated in accordance with standard test method ASTM D1557. The results of the compaction test are shown on the attached plate labeled Moisture Density Belationsbip.
