Site Requirements and Constraints
The following is for redevelopment PDPs only:
The area of existing (pre-project) impervious area at the project site is: _____2,645_____ ft2 (A)
The total proposed newly created or replaced impervious area is ____ 60,332_____ ft2 (B)
Percent impervious surface created or replaced (B/A)*100: _____ 100______ %
The percent impervious surface created or replaced is (select one based on the above calculation):
less than or equal to fifty percent (50%) – only newly created or replaced impervious areas
are considered a PDP and subject to stormwater requirements
OR
greater than fifty percent (50%) – the entire project site is considered a PDP and subject to
stormwater requirements
List applicable site requirements or constraints that will influence stormwater management
design, such as zoning requirements including setbacks and open space, or local codes
governing minimum street width, sidewalk construction, allowable pavement types, and
drainage requirements: N/A

This space provided for additional information or continuation of information from previous
sections as needed.
8 PRIORITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (PDP) REQUIREMENTS
Preparation Date:________________ Template Date: August 14th, 2022
Step 2: Strategy for Meeting PDP Performance Requirements
PDPs must implement BMPs to control pollutants in stormwater that may be discharged from a
project (see Chapter 5). PDPs subject to hydromodification management requirements must
implement flow control BMPs to manage hydromodification (see Chapter 6). Both stormwater
pollutant control and flow control can be achieved within the same BMP(s). Projects triggering
the 50% rule must address stormwater requirements for the entire site.
Structural BMPs must be verified by the City at the completion of construction. This may include
requiring the project owner or project owner's representative and engineer of record to certify
construction of the structural BMPs (see Chapter 1.12). Structural BMPs must be maintained
into perpetuity, and the City must confirm the maintenance (see Chapter 7).
Provide a narrative description of the general strategy for pollutant control and flow control at
the project site in the box below. This information must describe how the steps for selecting and
designing stormwater pollutant control BMPs presented in Chapter 5.1 of the BMP Design
Manual were followed, and the results (type of BMPs selected). For projects requiring flow
control BMPs, indicate whether pollutant control and flow control BMPs are integrated or
separate. At the end of this discussion, provide a summary of all the BMPs within the project
including the type and number.
Describe the general strategy for BMP implementation at the site.
The overall drainage of the site is consistent with the existing condition. Runoff from the parking
lot will drain towards the south across the parking lot and be captured by the curb and gutter
that will direct the flows into a drop inlet. The flows will then enter into the storm drain system.
From there, it will discharge into the proposed basin located on the west side of the project site
following a series of gutters. Runoff from the storage yard drain south towards a basin. The
overflow runoffs may contain fertilizers, but they will be treated for prior to discharging. Offsite
flow from existing storm drains along Pauba Road will still be received on the natural channel
southwest of the site.

E.10 INF-2 Bioretention
Photo Credit: Ventura County Technical Guidance Document
Description
Bioretention (bioretention without underdrain) facilities are vegetated surface water systems that filter
water through vegetation and soil, or engineered media prior to infiltrating into native soils. These
facilities are designed to infiltrate the full DCV. Bioretention facilities are commonly incorporated into
the site within parking lot landscaping, along roadsides, and in open spaces. They can be constructed
inground or partially aboveground, such as planter boxes with open bottoms (no impermeable liner
at the bottom) to allow infiltration. Treatment is achieved through filtration, sedimentation, sorption,
infiltration, biochemical processes and plant uptake.
Typical bioretention without underdrain components include:
• Inflow distribution mechanisms (e.g, perimeter flow spreader or filter strips)
• Energy dissipation mechanism for concentrated inflows (e.g., splash blocks or riprap)
• Shallow surface ponding for captured flows
• Side slope and basin bottom vegetation selected based on expected climate and ponding depth
• Non-floating mulch layer
• Media layer (planting mix or engineered media) capable of supporting vegetation growth
• Filter course layer consisting of aggregate to prevent the migration of fines into uncompacted
native soils or the optional aggregate storage layer
• Optional aggregate storage layer for additional infiltration storage
• Uncompacted native soils at the bottom of the facility
• Overflow structure

Design Adaptations for Project Goals
• Full infiltration BMP for storm water pollutant control. Bioretention can be used as a
pollutant control BMP designed to infiltrate runoff from direct rainfall as well as runoff from
adjacent tributary areas. Bioretention facilities must be designed with an infiltration storage
volume (a function of the ponding, media and aggregate storage volumes) equal to the full
DCV and able to meet drawdown time limitations.
• Integrated storm water flow control and pollutant control configuration. Bioretention
facilities can be designed to provide flow rate and duration control. This may be accomplished
by providing greater infiltration storage with increased surface ponding and/or aggregate
storage volume for storm water flow control.

Recommended Siting Criteria
Bioretention must meet the following design criteria. Deviations from the below criteria may be
approved at the discretion of County staff if it is determined to be appropriate:
INF-2 Bioretention
www.sandiegocounty.gov/stormwater E-72 Effective September 15, 2020
Siting Criteria Intent/Rationale
□
Placement observes geotechnical
recommendations regarding potential
hazards (e.g., slope stability, landslides,
liquefaction zones) and setbacks (e.g., slopes,
foundations, utilities).
Must not negatively impact existing site
geotechnical concerns.
□
Selection and design of BMP is based on
infiltration feasibility criteria and appropriate
design infiltration rate presented in
Appendix B and D.
Must operate as a full infiltration
design and must be supported by
drainage area and in-situ infiltration
rate feasibility findings.
□ Contributing tributary area is ≤ 5 acres (≤ 1
acre preferred).
Bigger BMPs require additional design
features for proper performance.
Contributing tributary area greater than
5 acres may be allowed at the
discretion of County staff if the
following conditions are met: 1)
incorporate design features (e.g. flow
spreaders) to minimize short circuiting
of flows in the BMP and 2) incorporate
additional design features requested by
County staff for proper performance
of the regional BMP.
□
Finish grade of the facility is ≤ 2%. In long
bioretention facilities where the potential for
internal erosion and channelization exists,
the use of check dams is required.
Flatter surfaces reduce erosion and
channelization within the facility.
Internal check dams reduce velocity
and dissipate energy.
Design Criteria and Considerations
Bioretention must meet the following design criteria. Deviations from the below criteria may be
approved at the discretion of County staff if it is determined to be appropriate:
Siting and Design Intent/Rationale
Surface Ponding
□ Surface ponding is limited to a 24-hour
drawdown time.
24-hour drawdown time is
recommended for plant health.
Surface ponding drawdown time
greater than 24-hours but less than 96
hours may be allowed at the discretion
of County staff if certified by a
landscape architect or agronomist.

INF-2 Bioretention
www.sandiegocounty.gov/stormwater E-73 Effective September 15, 2020
Siting and Design Intent/Rationale
□ Surface ponding depth is ≥ 6 and ≤ 12
inches.
Surface ponding capacity lowers
subsurface storage requirements. Deep
surface ponding raises safety concerns.
Surface ponding depth greater than 12
inches (for additional pollutant control
or surface outlet structures or flow-
control orifices) may be allowed at the
discretion of County staff if the
following conditions are met: 1)
surface ponding depth drawdown time
is less than 24 hours; and 2) safety
issues and fencing requirements are
considered (typically ponding greater
than 18” will require a fence and/or
flatter side slopes) and 3) potential for
elevated clogging risk is considered.
□ A minimum of 2 inches of freeboard is
provided.
Freeboard provides room for head
over overflow structures and
minimizes risk of uncontrolled surface
discharge.
□ Side slopes are stabilized with vegetation and
are ≥ 3H: 1V.
Gentler side slopes are safer, less prone
to erosion, able to establish vegetation
more quickly and easier to maintain.
Vegetation
□ Plantings are suitable for the climate and
expected ponding depth. A plant list to aid in
selection can be found in Appendix F.
Plants suited to the climate and
ponding depth are more likely to
survive.
□ An irrigation system with a connection to
water supply is provided as needed.
Seasonal irrigation might be needed to
keep plants healthy.
Mulch (Mandatory)
□ 3 inches of shredded hardwood mulch.
Mulch must be non-floating to avoid
clogging of overflow structure.
Mulch will suppress weeds and
maintain moisture for plant growth.

www.sandiegocounty.gov/stormwater E-74 Effective September 15, 2020
Siting and Design Intent/Rationale
Media Layer
□
Media maintains a minimum filtration rate
of 5 in/hr over lifetime of facility. A
minimum initial filtration rate of 10 in/hr is
recommended.
A high filtration rate through the soil
mix minimizes clogging potential and
allows flows to quickly enter the
aggregate storage layer, thereby
minimizing bypass.
□
Media is a minimum 18 inches deep,
meeting either of these two media
specifications: Media Specifications listed in
Appendix F-3 Biofiltration Soil Media
(BSM) or County of San Diego Low Impact
Development Handbook: Appendix G -
Bioretention Soil Specification (June 2014,
unless superseded by more recent edition).
A deep media layer provides additional
filtration and supports plants with
deeper roots.
Standard specifications must be
followed.
□
Alternatively, for proprietary designs and
custom media mixes not meeting the media
specifications contained in the County LID
Handbook, the media meets the pollutant
treatment performance criteria in Section
F.1.1.
For non-standard or proprietary
designs, compliance with F.1.1 ensures
that adequate treatment performance
will be provided.
□ Media surface area is 3% of contributing
area times adjusted runoff factor or greater.
Greater surface area to tributary area
ratios decrease loading rates per square
foot and therefore increase longevity.
Adjusted runoff factor is to account
for site design BMPs implemented
upstream of the BMP (such as rain
barrels, impervious area dispersion,
etc.). Refer to Appendix B guidance.
If media surface area is under 3% of
contributing area, refer to Sediment
Loading calculations in Appendix B.
Filter Course Layer (Optional)
□
A filter course is used to prevent migration
of fines through layers of the facility. Filter
fabric is not used.
Migration of media can cause clogging
of the aggregate storage layer void
spaces or subgrade. Filter fabric is
more likely to clog.

Siting and Design Intent/Rationale
□
Filter course is a minimum of 6 inches thick
provided in two separate 3 inch layers. The
top layer shall be made of ASTM C33
choker sand and the bottom layer shall be of
ASTM No. 8 aggregate. Marker stakes shall
be used to ensure uniform lift thickness.
To prevent reduction of the available
storage volume that would lead to
clogging of the underdrain and native
soil beneath the BMP.
□ Filter course is washed and free of fines.
Washing aggregate will help eliminate
fines that could clog the facility and
impede infiltration.
□ Filter course calculations assessing suitability
for particle migration prevention have been
completed.
Gradation relationship between layers
can evaluate factors (e.g., bridging,
permeability, and uniformity) to
determine if particle sizing is
appropriate or if an intermediate layer
is needed.
Aggregate Storage Layer (Optional)
□
Class 2 Permeable per Caltrans specification
68-1.025 is recommended for the storage
layer. Washed, open-graded crushed rock
may be used, however a 4-6 inch washed pea
gravel filter course layer at the top of the
crushed rock is required.
Washing aggregate will help eliminate
fines that could clog the aggregate
storage layer void spaces or subgrade.
□
Maximum aggregate storage layer depth is
determined based on the infiltration storage
volume that will infiltrate within a 36-hour
drawdown time.
A maximum drawdown time to
facilitate provision of adequate storm
water storage for the next storm event.
The applicant has an option to use a
different drawdown time of up to 120
hours if the volume of the facility is
adjusted using the percent capture
method in Appendix B.4.1.
Inflow and Overflow Structures
□
Inflow and overflow structures are
accessible for inspection and maintenance.
Overflow structures must be connected to
downstream storm drain system or
appropriate discharge point.
Maintenance will prevent clogging and
ensure proper operation of the flow
control structures.

INF-2 Bioretention
www.sandiegocounty.gov/stormwater E-76 Effective September 15, 2020
Siting and Design Intent/Rationale
□
Inflow velocities are limited to 3 ft/s or less
or use energy dissipation methods (e.g.,
riprap, level spreader) for concentrated
inflows.
High inflow velocities can cause
erosion, scour and/or channeling.
□ Curb cut inlets are at least 12 inches wide,
have a 4-6 inch reveal (drop) and an apron
and energy dissipation as needed.
Inlets must not restrict flow and apron
prevents blockage from vegetation as it
grows in. Energy dissipation prevents
erosion.
□
Overflow is safely conveyed to a
downstream storm drain system or discharge
point. Size overflow structure to pass 100-
year peak flow for on-line basins and water
quality peak flow for off-line basins.
Planning for overflow lessens the risk
of property damage due to flooding.
Conceptual Design and Sizing Approach for Storm Water Pollutant Control Only
To design bioretention for storm water pollutant control only (no flow control required), the following
steps should be taken:
1. Verify that siting and design criteria have been met, including placement and basin area
requirements, maximum side and finish grade slope, and the recommended media surface area
tributary ratio.
2. Calculate the DCV per Appendix B based on expected site design runoff for tributary areas.
3. Use the sizing worksheet to determine if full infiltration of the DCV is achievable based on
the available infiltration storage volume calculated from the bioretention without underdrain
footprint area, effective depths for surface ponding, media and aggregate storage layers, and
in-situ soil design infiltration rate for a maximum 36-hour drawdown time for the aggregate
storage layer (unless percent capture method is used), with surface ponding no greater than a
maximum 24-hour drawdown. The drawdown time can be estimated by dividing the average
depth of the basin by the design infiltration rate of the underlying soil. Appendix D provides
guidance on evaluating a site’s infiltration rate. A generic sizing worksheet is provided in
Appendix B.4.
4. Where the DCV cannot be fully infiltrated based on the site or bioretention constraints, an
underdrain can be added to the design (use biofiltration with partial retention factsheet).
Conceptual Design and Sizing Approach when Storm Water Flow Control is Applicable
Control of flow rates and/or durations will typically require significant surface ponding and/or
aggregate storage volumes, and therefore the following steps should be taken prior to determination
of storm water pollutant control design. Pre-development and allowable post-project flow rates and
durations must be determined as discussed in Chapter 6 of the manual.
X

INF-2 Bioretention
www.sandiegocounty.gov/stormwater E-77 Effective September 15, 2020
1. Verify that siting and design criteria have been met, including placement requirements,
maximum side and finish grade slopes, and the recommended media surface area tributary
area ratio. Design for flow control can be achieved using various design configurations.
2. Iteratively determine the facility footprint area, surface ponding and/or aggregate storage layer
depth required to provide infiltration storage to reduce flow rates and durations to allowable
limits while adhering to the maximum drawdown times for surface ponding and aggregate
storage. Flow rates and durations can be controlled using flow splitters that route the
appropriate inflow amounts to the bioretention facility and bypass excess flows to the
downstream storm drain system or discharge point.
3. If bioretention without underdrain facility cannot fully provide the flow rate and duration
control required by the MS4 permit, an upstream or downstream structure with appropriate
storage volume such as an underground vault can be used to provide additional control.
4. After bioretention without underdrain BMPs have been designed to meet flow control
requirements, calculations must be completed to verify if storm water pollutant control
requirements to treat the DCV have been met.
Maintenance Overview
Normal Expected Maintenance. Bioretention requires routine maintenance to: remove
accumulated materials such as sediment, trash or debris; maintain vegetation health; maintain
infiltration capacity of the media layer; replenish mulch; and maintain integrity of side slopes, inlets,
energy dissipators, and outlets. A summary table of standard inspection and maintenance indicators is
provided within this Fact Sheet.
Non-Standard Maintenance or BMP Failure. If any of the following scenarios are observed, the
BMP is not performing as intended to protect downstream waterways from pollution and/or erosion.
Corrective maintenance, increased inspection and maintenance, BMP replacement, or a different BMP
type will be required.
• The BMP is not drained between storm events. Surface ponding longer than approximately
24 hours following a storm event may be detrimental to vegetation health, and surface ponding
longer than approximately 96 hours following a storm event poses a risk of vector (mosquito)
breeding. Poor drainage can result from clogging of the media layer, filter course, aggregate
storage layer, underlying native soils, or outlet structure. The specific cause of the drainage
issue must be determined and corrected. If it is determined that the underlying native soils
have been compacted or do not have the infiltration capacity expected, the County reviewer
shall be contacted prior to any additional repairs or reconstruction.
• Sediment, trash, or debris accumulation greater than 25% of the surface ponding volume
within one month. This means the load from the tributary drainage area is too high, reducing
BMP function or clogging the BMP. This would require pretreatment measures within the
tributary area draining to the BMP to intercept the materials. Pretreatment components,
especially for sediment, will extend the life of components that are more expensive to replace
INF-2 Bioretention
www.sandiegocounty.gov/stormwater E-78 Effective September 15, 2020
such as media, filter course, and aggregate layers.
• Erosion due to concentrated storm water runoff flow that is not readily corrected by adding
erosion control blankets, adding stone at flow entry points, or minor re-grading to restore
proper drainage according to the original plan. If the issue is not corrected by restoring the
BMP to the original plan and grade, the County reviewer shall be contacted prior to any
additional repairs or reconstruction.
Other Special Considerations. Bioretention is a vegetated structural BMP. Vegetated structural
BMPs that are constructed in the vicinity of, or connected to, an existing jurisdictional water or
wetland could inadvertently result in creation of expanded waters or wetlands. As such, vegetated
structural BMPs have the potential to come under the jurisdiction of the United States Army Corps
of Engineers, SDRWQCB, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, or the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service. This could result in the need for specific resource agency permits and costly
mitigation to perform maintenance of the structural BMP. Along with proper placement of a structural
BMP, routine maintenance is key to preventing this scenario.

Summary of Standard Inspection and Maintenance
The property owner is responsible to ensure inspection, operation and maintenance of permanent BMPs on their property unless
responsibility has been formally transferred to an agency, community facilities district, homeowners association, property owners association,
or other special district.
Maintenance frequencies listed in this table are average/typical frequencies. Actual maintenance needs are site-specific, and maintenance may
be required more frequently. Maintenance must be performed whenever needed, based on maintenance indicators presented in this table.
The BMP owner is responsible for conducting regular inspections to see when maintenance is needed based on the maintenance indicators.
During the first year of operation of a structural BMP, inspection is recommended at least once prior to August 31 and then monthly from
September through May. Inspection during a storm event is also recommended. After the initial period of frequent inspections, the minimum
inspection and maintenance frequency can be determined based on the results of the first year inspections.
Threshold/Indicator Maintenance Action Inspection and Maintenance Frequency
Accumulation of sediment, litter,
or debris
Remove and properly dispose of accumulated
materials, without damage to the vegetation or
compaction of the media layer.
• Inspect monthly. If the BMP is 25% full*
or more in one month, increase inspection
frequency to monthly plus after every 0.1-
inch or larger storm event.
• Remove any accumulated materials found
at each inspection.
Obstructed inlet or outlet structure Clear blockage. • Inspect monthly and after every 0.5-inch or
larger storm event.
• Remove any accumulated materials found
at each inspection.

appropriate corrective measures such as adding
erosion control blankets, adding stone at flow entry
points, or minor re-grading to restore proper drainage
according to the original plan. If the issue is not
corrected by restoring the BMP to the original plan
and grade, the County reviewer shall be contacted
prior to any additional repairs or reconstruction.
• Inspect after every 0.5-inch or larger storm
event. If erosion due to storm water flow
has been observed, increase inspection
frequency to after every 0.1-inch or larger
storm event.
• Maintain when needed. If the issue is not
corrected by restoring the BMP to the
original plan and grade, the County
reviewer shall be contacted prior to any
additional repairs or reconstruction.
Standing water in BMP for longer
than 24 hours following a storm
event
Surface ponding longer than
approximately 24 hours following a
storm event may be detrimental to
vegetation health
Make appropriate corrective measures such as
adjusting irrigation system, removing obstructions of
debris or invasive vegetation, or repairing/replacing
clogged or compacted soils. If it is determined that the
underlying native soils have been compacted or do not
have the infiltration capacity expected, the County
reviewer shall be contacted prior to any additional
repairs or reconstruction.
• Inspect monthly and after every 0.5-inch or
larger storm event. If standing water is
observed, increase inspection frequency to
after every 0.1-inch or larger storm event.
• Maintain when needed.

Presence of mosquitos/larvae
For images of egg rafts, larva, pupa,
and adult mosquitos, see
http://www.mosquito.org/biology
If mosquitos/larvae are observed: first, immediately
remove any standing water by dispersing to nearby
landscaping; second, make corrective measures as
applicable to restore BMP drainage to prevent
standing water.
If mosquitos persist following corrective measures to
remove standing water, or if the BMP design does not
meet the 96-hour drawdown criteria because the
underlying native soils have been compacted or do not
have the infiltration capacity expected, the County
reviewer shall be contacted to determine a solution. A
different BMP type, or a Vector Management Plan
prepared with concurrence from the County of San
Diego Department of Environmental Health, may be
required.
• Inspect monthly and after every 0.5-inch or
larger storm event. If mosquitos are
observed, increase inspection frequency to
after every 0.1-inch or larger storm event.
• Maintain when needed.
“25% full” is defined as ¼ of the depth from the design bottom elevation to the crest of the outflow structure (e.g., if the height to the outflow opening is 12 inches from the bottom
elevation, then the materials must be removed when there is 3 inches of accumulation – this should be marked on the outflow structure).

CHECKLIST 3
Checklist for Geotechnical and Groundwater Investigation Report
The report must address the following key elements, and where appropriate, mitigation
recommendations must be provided.
Identify areas of the project site where infiltration is likely to be feasible and provide
justifications for selection of those areas based on soil types, slopes, proximity to existing
features, etc. Include completed and signed Worksheet C.4-1.
Investigate, evaluate and estimate the vertical infiltration rates and capacities in accordance
with the guidance provided in Appendix D which describes infiltration testing and appropriate
factor of safety to be applied for infiltration testing results. The site may be broken into sub-basins,
each of which has different infiltration rates or capacities.
Describe the infiltration/ percolation test results and correlation with published infiltration/
percolation rates based on soil parameters or classification. Recommend providing design
infiltration/percolation rate(s) at the sub-basins. Include completed and signed Worksheet D.5-1.
Investigate the subsurface geological conditions and geotechnical conditions that would affect
infiltration or migration of water toward structures, slopes, utilities, or other features. Describe the
anticipated flow path of infiltrated water. Indicate if the water will flow into pavement sections,
utility trench bedding, wall drains, foundation drains, or other permeable improvements.
Investigate depth to groundwater and the nature of the groundwater. Include an estimate of
the high seasonal groundwater elevations.
Evaluate proposed use of the site (industrial use, residential use, etc.), soil and groundwater
data and provide a concluding opinion whether proposed storm water infiltration could cause
adverse impacts to groundwater quality and if it does cause impacts whether the impacts could
be reasonably mitigated or not.
Estimate the maximum allowable infiltration rates and volumes that could occur at the site that
would avoid damage to existing and proposed structures, utilities, slopes, or other features. In
addition the report must indicate if the recommended infiltration rate is appropriate based on the
conditions exposed during construction.
Provide a concluding opinion regarding whether or not the proposed onsite storm water
infiltration/percolation BMP will result in soil piping, daylight water seepage, slope instability, or
ground settlement.
Recommend measures to substantially mitigate or avoid any potentially detrimental effects of
the storm water infiltration BMPs or associated soil response on existing or proposed
improvements or structures, utilities, slopes or other features within and adjacent to the site. For
example, minimize soil compaction.

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

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

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
Custom Soil Resource Report
11
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

1.3 Report Limitations
The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on the
field and laboratory information generated during previous investigations and
our current investigation, and a review of the referenced reports. The
information contained in this report is intended to be used for submittal to
appropriate governing agencies and engineers cost estimates.
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Site Location and Existing Conditions
The irregular‐shaped, approximately 3.4‐acre site is bounded to the north by
Rancho Vista Road, to the south by Linfield Way, and to the east and west by
private properties. The site is currently being used as a parking lot for Linfield
Christian School.
Elevations range from approximately 1230 feet above sea level (ASL) near the
northeast corner of the site to approximately 1210 feet (ASL) in the southwest
corner of the site providing 20 feet of relief. Review of vintage air photos
(Historic Aerials, 2023) indicates that the site was vacant until 1978 when Linfield
Christian School and the development near the northeast corner had been
constructed. By 2005, Linfield Way had been developed. By 2020, the most
recent vintage air photo, the development in the northeast corner still remained,
but during Alta’s subsurface investigation it was found the development has
since been removed.
2.2 Proposed Development
It is our understanding that the site will be developed to support an additional
parking lot and the expansion of the existing maintenance yard. Alta anticipates
the conventional cut‐and fill‐grading techniques will be used to develop the site.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 3

ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
3.0 SITE INVESTIGATION
3.1 Current Subsurface Investigation
Alta conducted subsurface investigation on October 19th of 2023 consisting of
the excavating, logging, and sampling of five (5) hollow stem auger borings to a
maximum depth of 26.0 feet below existing grade. The locations of the
exploratory excavations are shown on Plate 1 and the boring logs are presented
in Appendix B.
Laboratory testing was performed on bulk and ring samples obtained during the
field investigation. A brief description of the laboratory test procedures and the
test results are presented in Appendix C.
3.2 Previous Subsurface Investigation
Alta conducted a subsurface investigation for the overall Linfield site in May of
2015, which consisted of excavating, logging, and sampling of four (4) bucket
auger borings (B‐1 through B‐4) and eleven (11) backhoe test pits (T‐10 through
T‐17, T‐19, T‐25, and T‐26). The locations of the excavations that are within the
limits of this report are shown on Plate 1 and the logs are shown in Appendix B‐
1.
Alta also conducted two (2) preliminary infiltration tests, one within the limits of
this report as shown in Plate 1, in geologic units considered representative of the
Linfield Property.
4.0 GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
4.1 Geologic and Geomorphic Setting
Regionally, the subject site is located in the Peninsular Ranges geomorphic
province, which characterizes the southwest portion of southern California
where major right‐lateral active fault zones predominately trend northwest‐
southeast. The Peninsular Ranges province is composed of plutonic and
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 4
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
metamorphic rock, with lesser amounts of Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary
rock, Quaternary drainage in‐fills and sedimentary veneers.
4.2 Stratigraphy
Based on Alta’s review of the geologic literature, and our subsurface
investigation, the project site is underlain by the Pauba formation. The Pauba
formation consists of Pleistocene‐age older alluvium. This geologic unit is briefly
described below.
4.2.1 Topsoil (no map symbol)
Relatively thin topsoil covers portions of the site. It consists
predominantly of brown silty sand. The topsoil is dry to slightly moist,
and medium dense. The average thickness of the topsoil is approximately
one (1) foot.
4.2.2 Alluvium (Map symbol Qal)
Holocene‐aged alluvium was encountered in limited areas throughout
the site, usually within and adjacent to drainages. The alluvium within
the site is estimated to be about two and a half (2.5) feet deep. The
alluvium overlies the Pauba Formation. The alluvium generally consists of
brown, medium grained silty sand, dry, and loose condition.
4.2.3 Pauba Formation (Map symbol Qp)
The late‐to‐middle Pleistocene‐age Pauba Formation consists of reddish
brown, brown, greenish brown, tan and gray sandy clay, clayey sand,
clay, clayey silt, silty clay, silty sand, and sand. The materials encountered
were dry to moist, and in a firm/medium dense to very dense condition.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 5
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
4.3 Geologic Structure
4.3.1 Tectonic Framework
Jennings (1985) defined eight structural provinces within California that
have been classified by predominant regional fault trends and similar fold
structure. These provinces are in turn divided into blocks and sub‐blocks
that are defined by “major Quaternary faults.” These blocks and sub‐
blocks exhibit similar structural features. Within this framework the site
is located within Structural Province I, which is controlled by the
dominant northwest trend of the San Andreas Fault and is divided into
two blocks, the Coast Range Block and the Peninsular Range Block. The
Peninsular Range Block, on which the site is located, is characterized by a
series of parallel, northwest trending faults that exhibit right lateral dip‐
slip movement. These faults are terminated by the Transverse Range
block to the north and extend southward to the Baja Peninsula. These
northwest trending faults divide the Peninsular Range block into eight
sub‐blocks. The site is located on the Riverside sub‐block, which is bound
on the west by the Elsinore‐Whittier fault zone and on the east by San
Jacinto fault zone.
4.3.2 Regionally Mapped Active Faults
Several large, active fault systems, including the Elsinore‐Whittier, the
San Jacinto, and the San Andreas, occur in the region surrounding the
site. These fault systems have been studied extensively and in a large
part control the geologic structure of southern California.
4.3.3 Geologic Structure
Based upon our site investigation and literature review, the Pauba
Formation is neither folded, nor faulted.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 6
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
4.4 Groundwater
Groundwater was not encountered on site during our subsurface investigation.
Groundwater elevation data from the nearest active groundwater monitoring
site, Site ID: 334996N1171201W001 located approximately 0.7 miles southwest
of the site, indicates groundwater levels have ranged between 296.2‐ft and
337.0‐ft below the ground surface from 2011 to 2023.
4.5 Earthquake Hazards
The subject site is located in southern California, which is a tectonically active
area. The type and magnitude of seismic hazards affecting a site are dependent
on the distance to the causative fault and the intensity and magnitude of the
seismic event. The seismic hazard may be primary, such as surface rupture
and/or ground shaking, or secondary, such as liquefaction and/or ground
lurching.
4.5.1 Local and Regional Faulting
The site is located on the eastern portion of the Riverside sub‐block,
where the Elsinore, San Jacinto, Newport‐Inglewood, Rose Canyon, San
Joaquin Hills, Chino, and San Andreas faults surround the site at
approximately 1.7, 19.5, 29.6, 32.0, 33.3, 34.4, and 35.4 miles away,
respectively (USGS, 2008).
4.5.2 Seismicity
Ground shaking hazards caused by earthquakes along other active
regional faults do exist. The 2022 California Building Code requires use‐
modified spectral accelerations and velocities for most structural designs.
Seismic design parameters using soil profile types identified in the 2022
California Building Code are presented in Section 7.3.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 7
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
4.5.3 Surface Rupture
Active faults are not known to exist within the project and a review of
Special Publication 42 indicates the site is not within a California State
designated Earthquake Fault Zone (CGS, 2018). Accordingly, the potential
for fault surface rupture on the subject site is nil.
4.5.4 Liquefaction
Seismic agitation of relatively loose saturated sands, silty sands, and
some silts can result in a buildup of pore pressure. If the pore pressure
exceeds the overburden stresses, a temporary quick condition known as
liquefaction can occur. Liquefaction effects can manifest in several ways
including: 1) loss of bearing; 2) lateral spread; 3) dynamic settlement;
and 4) flow failure. Lateral spreading has typically been the most
damaging mode of failure.
In general, the more recent that a sediment has been deposited, the
more likely it will be susceptible to liquefaction. Other factors that must
be considered are: groundwater, confining stresses, relative density, and
the intensity and duration of seismically‐induced ground shaking.
Based on the density of the underlying Pauba Formation, the potential
for liquefaction is considered nil.
4.5.5 Dry Sand Settlement
Dry sand settlement is the process of settlement of the ground surface
during a seismic event in sand layers. Based on our subsurface
investigation and our removal/recompaction recommendations, the
potential for onsite dry sand settlement is anticipated to be negligible.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 8
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
4.6 Regional Subsidence
The site is located in an area designated as susceptible to subsidence by the
County of Riverside (RCIT, 2023). Upon implementation of the remedial grading
recommendations presented herein, the effects of subsidence on the
development are considered to be negligible.
5.0 ENGINEERING PROPERTIES AND ANALYSIS
5.1 Materials Properties
Presented herein is a general discussion of the engineering properties of the
onsite materials that will be encountered during construction of the proposed
development. Descriptions of the soil (Unified Soil Classification System) and in‐
place moisture/density results are presented on the boring logs in Appendix B.
5.1.1 Excavation Characteristics
Based on the data provided from the subsurface investigation, it is our
opinion that the onsite material possess favorable excavation
characteristics such that conventional earth moving equipment can be
utilized.
5.1.2 Compressibility
Any undocumented artificial fill, alluvium and the upper portions of the
Pauba Formation are considered compressible and unsuitable to support
the proposed improvements. Recommended removal depths are
presented in Section 6.1.2.
5.1.3 Hydro‐Consolidation
Hydro‐consolidation is the effect of introducing water into soil that is
prone to collapse. Upon loading and initial wetting, the soil structure and
apparent strength are altered resulting in almost immediate settlement.
That settlement can have adverse impacts on engineered structures,
particularly in areas where it is manifested differentially. Differential
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 9
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
settlements are typically associated with differential wetting,
irregularities in the subsurface soil conditions, and/or irregular loading
patterns.
Based on laboratory testing (Appendix C), the potential for hydro‐
collapse onsite is minimal and should be within foundation tolerances
upon the completion of the recommended unsuitable soil removals.
5.1.4 Expansion Potential
Expansion index testing was performed on samples taken during the
previous subsurface investigation (Appendix C‐1). Based on the results
from the previous investigation, it is anticipated that the majority of
materials onsite vary from “very low” to “medium” in expansion potential
(0≤EI≤90, Appendix C) when tested per ASTM D: 4829.
5.1.5 Earthwork Adjustments
The values presented in Table 5‐1 are deemed appropriate for estimating
purposes and may be used in an effort to balance earthwork quantities.
As is the case with every project, contingencies should be made to adjust
the earthwork balance when grading is in‐progress and actual conditions
are better defined.
TABLE 5‐2
Earthwork Adjustment Factors
Geologic Unit Adjustment Factor Range Average
Artificial fill / alluvium / topsoil Shrink 12 to 17% 14%
Pauba Formation Shrink 2 to 4% 3%
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 10
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
5.1.6 Chemical Analyses
Chemical testing was performed on a sample of material underlying the
site during the previous investigation. Soluble sulfate test results indicate
that the soluble sulfate concentrations of the soils tested are classified as
negligible to moderate (Class S0 to S1) per ACI 318‐14.
Negligible chloride levels were detected in the onsite soils. Based on
laboratory results of soluble sulfate, chloride, and pH testing as
presented in Appendix C, the onsite soils are classified as “non‐corrosive”
to buried metals and concrete (Caltrans, 2022). Additional discussions on
corrosion are presented in Section 7.9. Corrosion tests results are
presented in Appendix C.
5.2 Engineering Analysis
Presented below is a general discussion of the engineering analysis methods that
were utilized to develop the conclusions and recommendations presented in this
report.
5.2.1 Bearing Capacity and Lateral Earth Pressures
Ultimate bearing capacity values were obtained using the graphs and
formula presented in NAVFAC DM‐7.1. Allowable bearing was
determined by applying a factor of safety of at least 3 to the ultimate
bearing capacity. Static lateral earth pressures were calculated using
Rankine methods for active and passive cases. If it is desired to use
Coulomb forces, a separate analysis specific to the application can be
conducted.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on Alta’s findings during our subsurface investigation, the laboratory test results,
and our staff’s previous experience in the area, it is Alta’s opinion that the development
of the site is feasible from a geotechnical perspective. Presented below are
recommendations that should be incorporated into site development and construction
plans.
6.1 Remedial Grading Recommendations
All grading shall be accomplished under the observation and testing of the
project geotechnical consultant in accordance with the recommendations
contained herein and the County of Riverside criteria.
6.1.1 Site Preparation
Vegetation, construction debris, and other deleterious materials are
unsuitable as structural fill material and should be disposed of offsite
prior to commencing grading/construction. Any septic tanks, seepage
pits or wells should be abandoned as per the County of Riverside
Department of Health Services.
6.1.2 Unsuitable Soil Removals
Presented below are the unsuitable soil removal recommendations for
the onsite geologic units below the proposed future maintenance
building and parking lot. Removal bottoms should be observed by the
Project Geotechnical Consultant to make a final determination that
suitable, competent soils have been exposed. Removals should be
completed as per Plate G‐1 and G‐2 (Appendix E). In general, removals
shall expose competent Pauba Formation.
Existing concrete should be removed prior to the placement of
engineered fill. The demolished concrete may be incorporated into
compacted, engineered fills after it is crushed to a maximum size of six
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 12
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
(6) inches. Prior to placement as engineered fill any protruding steel
rebar should be cut from the concrete pieces and disposed of offsite.
Existing asphaltic concrete should be removed prior to the placement of
engineered fill. From a geotechnical perspective, this material may be
incorporated into compacted, engineered fills after it is crushed to a
maximum size of six (6) inches. The crushed asphalt should not be placed
under structures, but rather, it can be placed in approved non‐structural
areas, such as streets, parking areas or open space. These
recommendations should be verified by the environmental consultant.
6.1.2.1 Future Maintenance Building
The highly weathered portions of the Pauba Formation onsite are
not suitable for the support of proposed structures and should be
removed and recompacted to project specifications prior to the
placement of compacted fill. It is anticipated that removal
recompaction depths in this unit will be approximately three (3)
feet in depth.
6.1.2.2 Parking Lot
For fill areas in parking lots/streets, in general, a minimum
removal and recompaction of the upper two (2) feet is
recommended, however all undocumented artificial fill shall be
removed and recompacted. For cuts greater than two (2) feet in
street areas, removals are not required. For cuts less than two (2)
feet, the two (2) foot removal and recompaction applies.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 13
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
6.1.3 Over‐Excavation of Building Pads
6.1.3.1 Cut/Fill Transition Pads
Where cut/fill transitions occur across building pads, Alta
recommends that the cut and shallow fill portions be over‐
excavated and replaced with compacted fill in order to provide
uniform bearing conditions.
The depth of the over‐excavation should provide a minimum of
three (3) feet of fill beneath the building and sufficiently deep to
provide a minimum thickness of 1/3 of the maximum fill thickness
beneath the building envelop, as shown on Plate G‐16 (Appendix
E).
The undercuts should be extended at least five (5) feet outside of
perimeter footings. The proposed undercuts should be graded
such that a gradient of at least one (1) percent is maintained
towards deeper fill areas or toward the front of the pad. The final
extent of the undercut should be verified in the field during
grading. Replacement fills should be compacted to project
specifications as discussed in Section 6.2.1.
6.1.3.2 Cut Pads
Alta recommends that the cut pads should be over‐excavated and
replaced with compacted fill in order to facilitate improvement
construction. The depth of the over‐excavation should provide a
minimum of three (3) feet of fill beneath the building pad. The
undercuts should be extended at least five (5) outside of
perimeter footings. The proposed undercuts should be graded
such that a gradient of at least one (1) percent is maintained
towards the front of the pad or toward deeper fill areas if present.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 14
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
The final extent of the undercut should be verified in the field
during grading. Replacement fills should be compacted to project
specifications as discussed in Section 6.2.1.
6.2 General Earthwork Recommendations
6.2.1 Compaction Standards
All fill and processed natural ground shall be compacted to a minimum
relative compaction of 90 percent, as determined by ASTM Test Method:
D‐1557. Fill material should be moisture conditioned to optimum
moisture or above, and as generally discussed in Alta’s Earthwork
Specification Section presented in Appendix D. Compaction shall be
achieved with the use of sheepsfoot rollers or similar kneading type
equipment. Mixing and moisture conditioning will be required in order to
achieve the recommended moisture conditions.
6.2.2 Groundwater/Seepage
It is anticipated that groundwater will not be encountered during grading.
It is possible that perched water conditions could be encountered in
areas depending on the time of year construction occurs.
6.2.3 Documentation of Removals
All removal/over‐excavation bottoms should be observed and approved
by the project Geotechnical Consultant prior to fill placement.
Consideration should be given to surveying the removal bottoms and
undercuts after approval by the geotechnical consultant and prior to the
placement of fill. Staking should be provided in order to verify undercut
locations and depths.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 15
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
6.2.4 Treatment of Removal Bottoms
At the completion of removals/over‐excavation, the exposed removal
bottom should be ripped to a minimum depth of eight (8) inches,
moisture‐conditioned to above optimum moisture content and
compacted in‐place to the project standards.
6.2.5 Fill Placement
After removals, scarification, and compaction of in‐place materials are
completed, additional fill may be placed. Fill should be placed in eight‐
inch bulk maximum lifts, moisture conditioned to optimum moisture
content or above, compacted and tested as grading/construction
progresses until final grades are attained.
6.2.6 Moisture Content
The moisture content of the upper in‐situ soils varies, as shown on the
boring logs in Appendix B. Moisture conditioning will be required during
grading to achieve optimum or above conditions.
6.2.7 Mixing
Mixing of materials may be necessary to prevent layering of different soil
types and/or different moisture contents. The mixing should be
accomplished prior to and as part of compaction of each fill lift.
6.2.8 Import Soils
Import soils, if necessary, should consist of clean, structural quality,
compactable materials similar to the on‐site soils and should be free of
trash, debris or other objectionable materials. The project Geotechnical
Consultant should be notified not less than 72 hours in advance of the
locations of any soils proposed for import. Import sources should be
sampled, tested, and approved by the project Geotechnical Consultant at
the source prior to the importation of the soils to the site. The project
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 16
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
Civil Engineer should include these requirements on plans and
specifications for the project.
6.2.9 Utility Trenches
6.2.9.1 Excavation
Utility trenches should be supported, either by laying back
excavations or shoring, in accordance with applicable OSHA
standards. In general, existing site soils are classified as Soil Types
"B" and “C” per OSHA standards. Upon completion of the
recommended removals and re‐compaction, the artificial fill will
be classified as Soil Type "B". The Project Geotechnical Consultant
should be consulted if geologic conditions vary from what is
presented in this report.
6.2.9.2 Backfill
Trench backfill should be compacted to at least 90 percent of
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D‐1557. Onsite
soils will not be suitable for use as bedding material but will be
suitable for use in backfill provided oversized materials are
removed. No surcharge loads should be imposed above
excavations. This includes spoil piles, lumber, concrete trucks, or
other construction materials and equipment. Drainage above
excavations should be directed away from the banks. Care should
be taken to avoid saturation of the soils. Compaction should be
accomplished by mechanical means. Jetting of native soils will not
be acceptable.
Under‐slab trenches should also be compacted to project
specifications. If select granular backfill (SE > 30) is used,
compaction by flooding will be acceptable.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 17
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
6.2.10 Fill Slope Construction
Fill slopes should be overfilled to an extent determined by the contractor,
but not less than two (2) feet measured perpendicular to the slope face,
so that when trimmed back to the compacted core a minimum 90
percent relative compaction is achieved.
Compaction of each fill lift should extend out to the temporary slope
face. Back‐rolling during mass filling at intervals not exceeding four (4)
feet in height is recommended, unless more extensive overfilling is
undertaken.
As an alternative to overfilling, fill slopes may be built to the finish slope
face in accordance with the following recommendations:
Compaction of each fill lift should extend to the face of the slopes.
Back‐rolling during mass grading should be undertaken at
intervals not exceeding four (4) feet in height. Back‐rolling at
more frequent intervals may be required.
Care should be taken to avoid spillage of loose materials down the
face of any slopes during grading. Spill fill will require complete
removal prior to compaction, shaping, and grid rolling.
At completion of mass filling, the slope surface should be
watered, shaped, and compacted by track walking with a D‐8
bulldozer, or equivalent, such that compaction to project
standards is achieved to the slope face.
Proper seeding and planting of the slopes should follow as soon as
practical to inhibit erosion and deterioration of the slope surfaces.
Proper moisture control will enhance the long‐term stability of the finish
slope surface.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 18
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
6.2.11 Backcut Stability
Temporary backcuts, if required during unsuitable soil removals, should
be made no steeper than 1:1 without review and approval of the
geotechnical consultant. Flatter backcuts may be necessary where
geologic conditions dictate and where minimum width dimensions are to
be maintained.
Care should be taken during remedial grading operations in order to
minimize risk of failure. Should failure occur, complete removal of the
disturbed material will be required.
In consideration of the inherent instability created by temporary
construction backcuts for removals, it is imperative that grading
schedules are coordinated to minimize the unsupported exposure time of
these excavations. Once started, these excavations and subsequent fill
operations should be maintained to completion without intervening
delays imposed by avoidable circumstances. In cases where five‐day
workweeks comprise a normal schedule, grading should be planned to
avoid exposing at‐grade or near‐grade excavations through a non‐work
weekend. Where improvements may be affected by temporary
instability, either on or offsite, further restrictions such as slot cutting,
extending work days, implementing weekend schedules, and/or other
requirements considered critical to serving specific circumstances may be
imposed.
7.0 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
7.1 Structural Design
It is anticipated that a maintenance structure may be constructed onsite. It is
anticipated that the majority of onsite soils will possess "low" to "medium"
expansion potential when tested in general accordance with ASTM Test Method
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 19
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
D: 4829. Final slab and foundation design recommendations should be made
based upon specific structure sitings and loading conditions.
Preliminary design recommendations for the proposed structures are presented
below. These parameters shall be verified as design of the project progresses.
Table 7‐1
Foundation/Slab Design Parameters*
Allowable Bearing 2000 lbs/ft2
Lateral Bearing 250 lbs/ft2 at a depth of 12 inches plus 250 lbs/ft2 for each
additional 12 inches of embedment to a maximum of 2000
lbs/ft2.

Design Expansion Potential Medium
Design Plasticity Index 20
Under‐Slab Requirement See Section 7.2
Slab Subgrade Moisture Minimum of 120 percent of optimum moisture to a depth of
12‐inches prior to placing concrete.
*These values may be increased as allowed by Code to resist transient loads such as wind or
seismic. Building code and structural design considerations may govern depth and reinforcement
requirements and should be evaluated.
7.2 Moisture Barrier
A moisture and vapor retarding system should be placed below the slabs‐on‐
grade in portions of the structure considered to be moisture sensitive and should
be capable of effectively preventing the migration of water and reducing the
transmission of water vapor to acceptable levels. Historically, a 10‐mil plastic
membrane, such as Visqueen, placed between one to four inches of clean sand,
has been used for this purpose. The use of this system or other systems can be
considered, at the discretion of the designer, provided the system reduces the
vapor transmission rates to acceptable levels.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 20
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
7.3 Seismic Design
The site class was determined based on the subsurface investigation and
published geologic maps in the area in general conformance with Chapter 20 of
ASCE 7‐16. Based on density of the relatively shallow underlying Pauba
Formation, a Site Class of C was selected. Utilizing this information, the
computer program ATC Hazards by Location and ASCE 7‐16 criterion, the spectral
response accelerations that can be utilized for the project are presented in Table
7‐2. These parameters should be verified by the structural engineer. Additional
parameters should be determined by the structural engineer based on the
Occupancy Category of the proposed structures.

ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
7.4 Block Walls
Block walls, if used, should be embedded a minimum of 2 feet below the lowest
adjacent grade. Construction joints (not more than 20 feet apart) should be
included in the block wall construction.
7.5 Footing Excavations
Soils from the footing excavations should not be placed in slab‐on‐grade areas
unless properly compacted and tested. The excavations should be cleaned of all
loose/sloughed materials and be neatly trimmed at the time of concrete
placement. The Project Geotechnical Consultant should observe the footing
excavations prior to the placement of concrete to determine that the
excavations are founded in suitably compacted material.
7.6 Exterior Slabs and Walkways
Exterior concrete slabs and walkways should be designed and constructed in
consideration of the following recommendations.
7.6.1 Subgrade Compaction
The subgrade below exterior concrete slabs should be compacted to a
minimum of 90 percent relative compaction as determined by ASTM Test
Method: D 1557.
7.6.2 Subgrade Moisture
The subgrade below concrete slabs should be moisture conditioned to a
minimum of 110 percent of optimum moisture (low expansion) prior to
concrete placement or 120 percent of optimum moisture (medium
expansion) prior to concrete placement.
7.6.3 Concrete Slab Thickness
Concrete flatwork and driveways should be designed utilizing four‐inch
minimum thickness.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 22
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
7.6.4 Concrete Slab Reinforcement
Utilization of reinforcement for flatwork and driveways is subject to a
cost/benefit analysis. Reinforcement will decrease the amount of
cracking that may occur in flatwork, however, planning for occasional
repairs may be more cost effective. Utilizing closely spaced control joints
is likely more cost‐effective than utilizing reinforcement. The majority of
the soils onsite are classified as very low to medium in expansion
potential. Consideration should be given to reinforcing flatwork with
irregular (non‐square/rectangular) shapes or flatwork underlain by
medium expansive soils. Reinforcement may consist of 6x6 W.14/W1.4
welded wire mesh or and equivalent section of rebar.
7.6.5 Control Joints
Weakened plane joints should be installed on walkways at intervals of
approximately eight feet (maximum) or less. Exterior slabs should be
designed to withstand shrinkage of the concrete.
7.7 Concrete Design
As stated in Section 5.1.6, negligible concentrations of sulfates were detected in
the onsite soils. Therefore, the use of sulfate resistant concrete is not required
per ACI 318‐14 at this time. Post‐grading conditions should be evaluated, and
final recommendations made at that time.
7.8 Corrosion
Based on preliminary testing, the onsite soils are not considered corrosive to
buried metal objects per Caltrans standards. Buried ferrous metals should be
protected against the effects of corrosive soils in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Typical measures may include using non‐
corrosive backfill, protective coatings, wrapping, plastic pipes, or a combination
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 23
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
of these methods. A corrosion engineer should be consulted if specific design
recommendations are required by the improvement designer.
Per ACI 318‐14, an exposure class of C1 would be applicable to metals encased in
concrete (rebar in footings) due to being exposed to moisture from surrounding
soils. Per Table 19.3.2.1 of ACI 318‐14, the requirements for concrete with an
exposure class of C1 are a minimum compressive strength of 2500 psi and a
maximum water‐soluble chloride ion content in concrete of 0.30 (percent by
weight of cement).
7.9 Pavement Design
Pavement sections for the proposed streets/parking lots shall be designed based
on laboratory testing conducted on samples taken from the soil subgrade. Based
on an assumed R‐Value of 20, the pavement may be designed utilizing the
sections presented in Table 7‐3. These sections should be verified upon the
completion of grading, based on R‐Value testing. The ultimate pavement section
design for public streets is under the County of Riverside’s purview.

Preliminary Pavement Sections
Traffic Index Pavement Section Options
OR
5.0 3‐inch AC on 7.5‐inch AB 4‐inch AC on 6‐inch AB
AC‐Asphalt Concrete
AB‐Caltrans Class II Base
Construction of the streets should be accomplished in accordance with the
current criteria of the County of Riverside. Prior to the placement of base
material, the subgrade should be suitably moisture conditioned, processed and
compacted to a minimum 95 percent of the laboratory maximum density (ASTM:
D 1557) to at least twelve (12) inches below subgrade. After subgrade
compaction, the exposed grade should then be "proof"‐rolled with heavy
equipment to ensure the grade does not "pump" and is verified as non‐yielding.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 24
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
Aggregate base material should be placed on the compacted subgrade and
compacted in‐place to a minimum 95 percent of the laboratory standard
obtained per ASTM: D 1557.
7.10 Site Drainage
Positive drainage away from the proposed structures should be provided and
maintained. Roof, pad, and lot drainage should be collected and directed away
from the structures toward approved disposal areas through drainage terraces,
gutters, down drains, and other devices. Design fine grade elevations should be
maintained through the life of the structure or if design fine grade elevations are
altered, adequate area drains should be installed in order to provide rapid
discharge of water, away from structures.
7.11 Deepened Footings and Setbacks
It is generally recognized that improvements constructed in proximity to
properly constructed slopes can, over a period of time, be affected by natural
processes including gravity forces, weathering of surficial soils and long term
(secondary) settlement. Most building codes, including the California Building
Code (CBC), require that structures be setback or footings deepened, where
subject to the influence of these natural processes. For the subject site, where
foundations for residential structures are to exist in proximity to slopes, the
footings should be embedded to satisfy the requirements presented in the
following figure.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 25
November 15, 2023
ALTA CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
H
H/2, need not be more than 15 feet
H/2 when H < 30 feet, need not exceed 10 feet, but not less than 5 feet.
H/3 when H >30 feet, need not exceed 40 feet.
Consideration of these natural processes should be undertaken in the design and
construction of other improvements. Homeowners are advised to consult with
qualified geotechnical engineers, designers, and contractors in the design and
construction of future improvements. Each lot and proposed improvement
should be evaluated in relation to the specific site conditions, accounting for the
specific soil conditions.
8.0 LOT MAINTENANCE
Ongoing maintenance of the improvements is essential to the long‐term performance of
structures. The following recommendations should be implemented.
8.1 Lot Drainage
Roof, pad and lot drainage should be collected and directed away from
structures and slopes and toward approved disposal areas. Design fine grade
elevations should be maintained throughout the life of the structure or if design
fine grade elevations are altered, adequate area drains should be installed in
order to provide rapid discharge of water, away from structures and slopes.
Owners should be made aware that they are responsible for maintenance and
cleaning of all drainage terraces, down drains, and other devices that have been
installed to promote structure and slope stability.
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 26

8.2 Burrowing Animals
Owners should undertake a program for the elimination of burrowing animals.
9.0 FUTURE PLAN REVIEWS
This report represents a geotechnical review of the site. As the project design for the
project progresses, site specific geologic and geotechnical issues should be considered in
the design and construction of the project. Consequently, future plan reviews may be
necessary. These reviews may include reviews of:
Grading Plans
Foundation Plans
Utility Plans
These plans should be forwarded to the project Geotechnical Consultant for review.
10.0 CLOSURE
10.1 Geotechnical Review
For the purposes of this report, multiple working hypotheses were established
for the project, utilizing the available data and the most probable model is used
for the analysis. Future information collected during the proposed grading
operations is intended to evaluate the hypothesis and as such, some of the
assumptions summarized in this report may need to be changed. Some
modifications of the grading recommendations may become necessary, should
the conditions encountered in the field differ from the conditions hypothesized
in this report.
Plans and sections of the project specifications should be reviewed by Alta to
evaluate conformance with the intent of the recommendations contained in this
report. If the project description or final design varies from that described in
herein, Alta must be consulted regarding the applicability of the
recommendations contained herein and whether any changes are required. Alta
Project Number 1‐0502 Page 27

accepts no liability for any use of its recommendations if the project description
or final design varies and Alta is not consulted regarding the alterations.
10.2 Limitations
This report is based on the following: 1) the project as presented on the attached
plan; 2) the information obtained from Alta's laboratory testing included herein;
and 3) from the information presented in the referenced reports. The findings
and recommendations are based on the results of the subsurface investigation,
laboratory testing, and office analysis combined with an interpolation and
extrapolation of conditions between and beyond the subsurface excavation
locations. However, the materials adjacent to or beneath those observed may
have different characteristics than those observed, and no precise
representations are made as to the quality or extent of the materials not
observed. The results reflect an interpretation of the direct evidence obtained.
Work performed by Alta has been conducted in a manner consistent with the
level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the geotechnical
profession currently practicing in the same locality under similar conditions. No
other representation, either expressed or implied, and no warranty or guarantee
is included or intended.
The recommendations presented in this report are based on the assumption that
an appropriate level of field review will be provided by a geotechnical consultant
who is familiar with the design and site geologic conditions. That field review
shall be sufficient to confirm that geotechnical and geologic conditions exposed
during grading are consistent with the geologic representations and
corresponding recommendations presented in this report.
The conclusions and recommendations included in this report are applicable to
the specific design of this project as discussed in this report. They have no

Laboratory Testing
Project Number 1‐0502 Page C‐1

LABORATORY TESTING
The following laboratory tests were performed on a representative sample in accordance with
the applicable latest standards or methods from the ASTM, California Building Code (CBC) and
California Department of Transportation.
Classification
Soils were classified with respect to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) in accordance
with ASTM D‐2487 and D‐2488.
Particle Size Analysis
Modified hydrometer testing was conducted to aid in classification of the soil. The results of
the particle size analysis are presented in Table C.
Expansion Index Tests
One (1) expansion index test was performed to evaluate the expansion potential of typical on‐
site soil. Testing was carried out in general conformance with ASTM Test Method D‐4829. The
results are presented in Table C.
Consolidation Tests
Consolidation testing was performed on one (1) relatively “undisturbed” soil samples at their
natural moisture content in accordance with procedures outlined in ASTM D‐2435. The sample
was placed in a consolidometer and loads were applied incrementally in geometric progression.
The sample (2.42‐inches in diameter and 1‐inch in height) was permitted to consolidate under
each load increment until the slope of the characteristic linear secondary compression portion
of the thickness versus log of time plot was apparent. The percent consolidation for each load
cycle was recorded as the ratio of the amount of vertical compression to the original 1‐inch
height. The consolidation test results are shown on Plate C‐1.
Chemical Analyses
Chemical testing was performed on one select sample. The results of this test (sulfate content,
resistivity, chloride content and pH) is presented on Table C.
