A geotechnical exploration has been performed for the Proposed ALDI Building project to be
located at 29176 Via Las Colinas in Temecula, California. Terracon's geotechnical scope of work
included the advancement of eight (8) test borings to approximate depths of 5 feet to 21'/2 feet
below the ground surface (bgs). In addition, four (4) of the borings were utilized for percolation
testing.
The site appears suitable for the proposed construction based upon geotechnical conditions
encountered in the test borings and provided our recommendations contained in this report are
properly implemented in the design and construction. Based on the information obtained from our
engineering analyses of the field and laboratory data, the following geotechnical considerations
were identified:
�.. The subsurface materials encountered generally consisted of sand with variable
amounts of silt and clay overlying clay and silt with variable amounts of sand overlying
sand with variable amounts of silt. Fill materials comprised of silty sand were
encountered in several borings to depths of approximately 2 feet below existing grade.
We assume that the upper fill materials encountered in the borings were placed during
the previous grading activities on-site. At the time of our exploration a graded pad was
located near the center of the site. The limits of the proposed ALDI building exceed the
outline of this graded pad area. In addition, storm water management basins and
channels were located at the northwest and southwest boundaries of the site. Terracon
does not have any documentation to show if the fill placement or grading operations
were inspected and if fill compaction was tested.
Groundwater was not encountered at the time of drilling, based on nearby groundwater
wells, groundwater is anticipated to be greater than 100 feet below existing grades.
f Due to the presence of undocumented fill materials and of the low bearing capacity of near
surface soils, the shallow spread footing foundation system and interior floor slabs should
bear on engineered fill. Engineered fill should extend to a minimum depth of 2 feet below
the bottom of foundations, or to the depth of the fill materials, whichever is greater. On-
site fill materials and native granular soils are generally suitable for use as engineered fill
for this project. Engineered fill should consist of low volume change materials.
�� Automobile parking areas— 3" AC over 4" AB or 5" PCC over 4" AB; On-site driveways—
3" AC over 6" AB or 6" PCC over 4" AB. All pavement subgrades should be scarified,
moisture conditioned and compacted to a minimum depth of 10 inches.
F� Earthwork on the project should be observed and evaluated by Terracon. The evaluation
of earthwork should include observation and testing of engineered fill, subgrade
preparation, slab bearing soils, and other geotechnical conditions exposed during
construction.
This geotechnical executive summary should be used in conjunction with the entire report for
design and/or construction purposes. It should be recognized that specific details were not
included or fully developed in this section, and the report must be read in its entirety for a
comprehensive understanding of the items contained herein. The section titled General

Hazards located within a very low liquefaction hazard zone.
--_---_ _.__—.------- ---------------------
Current ground cover The ground is currently covered with rough graded exposed soils.
The site has an approximately 2% descending slope from the northeast
to the southwest. With approximately 10 foot elevation difference. An
Existing topography approximately 2 feet high raised pad has been graded in the center of
the site and drainage channels/berms and basins have been graded at
the northern and southern boundaries of the site.
2.3 Background
Based on historical aerial photographs, the site has remained undeveloped. However it is
apparent that rough grading operations for this site were performed to develop an elevated pad
and surrounding groundwater channels and basins. Based on our review of available topographic
maps, the site is located within a low rolling hills area with elevations ranging between 1,133 feet
and 1,140 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL). The site has an approximately 2% descending
slope from the northwest to the southeast. The depth of fill materials were based on our

Terracon does not have any documentation to show if the grading operations were monitored,
and if the backfill activities were controlled or inspected. Based on field blow counts, it is likely
that the fill materials did not receive adequate compaction effort during placement. We
recommend fill materials be removed and replaced with engineered fill.

3.1 Site Geology
The site is situated within the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Province in Southern California.
Geologic structures within this Province trend mostly northeast, in contrast to the prevailing
east-west trend in the neighboring Transverse Ranges Geomorphic Province to the north. The
Peninsular Range Province extends into lower California, and is bounded by the Colorado
Desert to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west and the San Gabriel and San Bernardino
mountains to the north. '�2 SurFicial geologic units mapped at the site consist of non-marine
deposits of Pleistocene age3.
3.2 Typical Subsurface Profile
Specific conditions encountered at the boring locations are indicated on the individual boring logs.
Stratification boundaries on the boring logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil
types; in-situ, the transition between materials may be gradual. Details for the borings can be
found on the boring logs included in Appendix A. Based on the results of the borings, the
subsurface conditions on the project site can be generalized as follow:

Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples and the test results are presented in
Appendix B and on the boring logs. Laboratory tests indicate that on-site near surface materials
have negligible to low plasticity. The results of a consolidation/collapse test performed at a
depth of 2'/� and 5 feet bgs indicate the subsurface materials encountered at an approximate
depth of 2'/� feet exhibit slight collapse potential when saturated under a confining pressure of
2,000 psf. The clayey materials encountered at approximately 5 feet bgs exhibit a low swell
potential when saturated under a confining pressure of 2,000 psf.
3.3 Groundwater
Groundwater was not observed at the time of field exploration. These observations represent
groundwater conditions at the time of the field exploration and may not be indicative of other
times, or at other locations.
Based on ground water data recorded from a nearby monitoring well, depth to groundwater is
anticipated to be greater than 100 feet bgs.4

'Note.The 2013 California Building Code(CBC) requires a site soil profile determination extending to a depth of 100 feet for
seismic site classification. The current scope does not include the required 100 foot soil profile determination. Borings
extended to a maximum depth of 21'/�feet, and this seismic site class definition considers that similar soils continue below the
maximum depth of the subsurface exploration. Additional exploration to deeper depths would be necessary to confirm and/or
modify the above site class.
3.4.2 Faulting and Estimated Ground Motions
The site is located in Southern California, which is a seismically active area. The type and
magnitude of seismic hazards affecting the site are dependent on the distance to causative
faults, the intensity, and the magnitude of the seismic event. The table below indicates the
distance of the fault zones and the associated maximum credible earthquake that can be

produced by nearby seismic events, as calculated using the USGS Earthquake Hazard Program
2002 interactive disaggregation. The Elsinore-17 Fault, which is located approximately 2.3
kilometers from the site, is considered to have the most significant effect at the site from a
design standpoint with an earthquake magnitude of 6.75.
Based on the ASCE 7-10 Standard, the peak ground acceleration (PGA) at the subject site
approximately 0.821 g. Based on the USGS 2002 interactive deaggregations, the project site
has a PGA with 2% return period in 50 years of 1.068g and a mean magnitude of 6.72.
The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone based on our review of
the State Fault Hazard MapsS and the County of Riverside GIS website.
3.4.3 Liquefaction Potential
Liquefaction is a mode of ground failure that results from the generation of high pore water
pressures during earthquake ground shaking, causing loss of shear strength. Liquefaction is
typically a hazard where loose sandy soils exist below groundwater. The County of Riverside
has designated certain areas within the County as potential liquefaction hazard zones. These
are areas considered at a risk of liquefaction-related ground failure during a seismic event,
based upon mapped surficial deposits and the presence of a relatively shallow water table. The
project site is located within a very low potential liquefaction hazard zone as designated by the
County of Riverside GIS website. Based on the anticipated depth to groundwater and the county
maps, the liquefaction hazard potential at the site may be considered low.
3.5 Geologic Hazards
� Slope stability - The site is relatively flat with less than a 5% slopes across the site;
therefore, it is not necessary to perform a slope stability analysis.
�. Rock fall hazards - The site is relatively flat with no upgrade slopes around the site;
therefore, hazards from rock fall are negligible.
�:3 Landslide hazards - The site is relatively flat and there are no steep slopes across the
site; therefore, landslide hazards are negligible.
�� Surface fault rupture - The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Special Study Zone
nor is located within a fault zone based on the County of Riverside GIS website.
�,� Fissures - As the site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Special Study Zone nor is located
within a fault zone based on the County of Riverside GIS website, the expectation of
fissures occurring at the site is considered low.
�� Liquefaction potential - The site is located within a very low liquefaction zone as identified
by the County of Riverside GIS website. Liquefaction potential is addressed in Section
3.4.3 of this report.

� Collapsible and/or expansive soils — the laboratory test results indicate that the materials
at shallow depth exhibit a slight collapse potential and low swell potential when saturated.
On site granular soils are expected to have low expansion potential.
E Subsidence - The site is located within an active subsidence zone as identified on the
County of Riverside GIS website. However based on the depth to groundwater, we
anticipate the impact of subsidence resulting from groundwater removal may be
considered low.
ej Wind and water erosion - The site is located within a well developed area and the ground
surface is mostly covered with graded soils and pads; therefore, the possibility of wind
and water erosion is considered negligible.
� Debris flow - The site is relatively flat and there are no steep slopes across the site;
therefore, the possibility of debris flow is considered negligible.
� Ground shaking potential - The site is not located with an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies
Zone, nor is it located within a fault zone based on the County of Riverside GIS website.
However, with the active faults in the region, the site could be subjected to strong ground
shaking that may result from earthquakes on local to distant sources during the life span
of the project. Faulting and ground motion are addressed in Section 3.4.2 above.
r Seismic Settlement— Based on subsurface conditions encountered in our borings and the
low liquefaction hazard potential, we anticipate seismic settlement to be low.
3.6 Corrosion Potential
Results of soluble sulfate testing indicate that ASTM Type I/II Portland cement may be used for
all concrete on and below grade. Foundation concrete may be designed for low sulfate
exposure in accordance with the provisions of the ACI Design Manual, Section 318, Chapter 4.
Laboratory test results indicate the on-site soils have a pH of 8.5, a minimum resistivity of 5,626
ohm-centimeters, a water soluble sulfates content of less than 0.01°/o, Red-Ox potential of 640
mV, a chloride content of 25 ppm, and negligible sulfides as shown on the attached Results of
Corrosivity Analysis sheet. These values should be used to evaluate corrosive potential of the
on-site soils to underground ferrous metals.
Refer to the Results of Corrosivity Analysis sheet in Appendix B for the complete results of the
corrosivity testing conducted in conjunction with this geotechnical exploration.
3.7 Percolation Test Results
Four (4) in-situ percolation tests (falling head borehole permeability) were performed to
approximate depths of 5 to 10 feet bgs. A 2-inch thick layer of gravel was placed in the bottom
of each boring after the borings were drilled to investigate the soil profile. A 3-inch diameter
perforated pipe was installed on top of the gravel layer in each boring. Gravel was used to

backfill between the perforated pipes and the boring sidewall. The borings were then filled with
water for a pre-soak period. At the beginning of each test, the pipes were refilled with water and
readings were taken at 10-minute time intervals. Percolation rates are provided in the following
table:

*If the proposed infiltration systems will mainly rely on vertical downward seepage, the correlated
infiltration rates should be used. The correlated infiltration rates were calculated using the Porchet
Method.
The field test results are not intended to be design rates. They represent the result of our tests,
at the depths and locations indicated, as described above. The design rate should be
determined by the designer by applying an appropriate factor of safety. The designer should
take into consideration the variability of native soils when selecting appropriate design rates.
With time, the bottoms of infiltration systems tend to plug with organics, sediments, and other
debris. Long term maintenance will likely be required to remove these deleterious materials to
help reduce decreases in actual percolation rates.
The percolation test was performed with clear water, whereas the storm water will likely not be
clear, but may contain organics, fines, and grease/oil. The presence of these deleterious
materials will tend to decrease the rate that water percolates from the infiltration systems.
Design of the storm water infiltration systems should account for the presence of these
materials and should incorporate structures/devices to remove these deleterious materials.
Based on the soils encountered in our borings, we expect the percolation rates of the soils could
be different than measured in the field due to variations in fines and gravel content. The design
elevation and size of the proposed infiltration system should account for this expected variability
in infiltration rates.

4.1 Geotechnical Considerations
The site appears suitable for the proposed construction based upon geotechnical conditions
encountered in the test borings provided the recommendations provided in this report are
implemented during design and construction. Based on the geotechnical engineering analyses,
subsurface exploration and laboratory test results, a spread footing foundation system bearing
on engineered fill is recommended for support of the proposed building.
The grading plans for the proposed improvement are not finalized at this stage of the project.
However, we anticipate major rough grading operations within the project area. Based on the
differences in elevation and existing topography on site, grading may include up to 5 feet of cut
and fill to bring the site to grades.
Our exploration indicate that undocumented fill materials are present near the surface on-site. A
graded pad consisting of approximately 2 to 3 feet of fill was observed during the site
reconnaissance. We assume that the upper fill materials encountered in the borings were
placed during previous grading operations on the site. Based on the blow counts of the fill
materials and field blow counts, it is likely that the fill materials did not receive adequate
compaction effort during placement. The limits of the proposed ALDI building exceed the outline of
the graded pad and encountered fill materials. We recommend that all fill materials within the
footprint of the proposed building be removed and the excavation thoroughly cleaned prior to
backfill placement and/or construction. After removal of undocumented fill within the proposed
building footprint, foundations and floor slab areas should be supported on engineered fill.
Due to the presence of undocumented fill materials and slight collapse potential of the near
surface soils, the foundation system and interior floor slab should bear on engineered fill.
Engineered fill should extend to a minimum depth of 2 feet below the bottom of foundations, or to
the depth of the fill materials, whichever is greater.
Support of exterior flatwork and pavements on or above existing fill soils is discussed in this
report. However, even with the recommended construction testing services, there is an inherent
risk for the owner that compressible fill or unsuitable material within or buried by the fill will not
be discovered. This risk of unforeseen conditions cannot be eliminated without completely
removing the existing fill, but can be reduced by performing additional testing and evaluation.
Geotechnical engineering recommendations for foundation systems and other earth connected
phases of the project are outlined below. The recommendations contained in this report are
based upon the results of field and laboratory testing (which are presented in Appendices A and
B), engineering analyses, and our current understanding of the proposed project.

4.2 Earthwork
The following sections present recommendations for site preparation, excavation, subgrade
preparation and placement of engineered fills on the project. The recommendations presented
for the design and construction of earth supported elements including, foundations and slabs
are contingent upon following the recommendations outlined in this section. All grading for the
proposed building should incorporate the limits of the building plus a lateral distance of 3 feet
beyond the outside edge of perimeter footings.
Earthwork on the project should be observed and evaluated by Terracon. The evaluation of
earthwork should include observation and testing of engineered fill, subgrade preparation,
foundation bearing soils, and other geotechnical conditions exposed during the construction of
the project.
4.2.1 Site Preparation
Strip and remove existing vegetation and other deleterious materials from proposed building
and pavement areas. Exposed surfaces should be free of mounds and depressions which
could prevent uniform compaction.
Our explorations indicate the site has approximately 2 to 3 feet of fill material encountered in
selected borings. We recommend that all fill materials within the footprint of the proposed
building be removed and the excavation thoroughly cleaned prior to backfill placement and/or
construction.
Where existing slopes are steeper than 5H:1V (horizontal:vertical), the area should be benched
to reduce the potential for slippage between existing slopes and fills. Benches should be wide
enough to accommodate compaction and earth moving equipment, and to allow placement of
horizontal lifts of fill.
For balancing grading onsite, estimated shrink factor of granular soils when used as compacted
fill following recommendations in this report ranges between 0.90% and 0.95%. Shrinkage
factors are based on converting materials in its natural state before disturbance to materials
after compaction.
Evidence of utilities and underground facilities was not observed during the site reconnaissance,
such features may be encountered during construction. If encountered, abandoned
underground utilities and facilities should be removed and the excavation thoroughly cleaned
prior to backfill placement and/or construction.

should bear on engineered fill comprised of low volume change soils extending to a minimum
depth of 2 feet below the bottom of the deepest foundation, or to the depth of existing fill
materials, whichever is greater.
Subgrade soils beneath exterior slabs and pavements should be scarified, moisture conditioned,
and compacted to a minimum depth of 10 inches. The moisture content and compaction of
subgrade soils should be maintained until slab or pavement construction.
Exposed areas which will receive fill, once properly cleared and benched where necessary,
should be scarified to a minimum depth of 10 inches, moisture conditioned, and compacted per
the compaction requirements in Section 4.2.5.
4.2.3 Fill Materials and Placement
All fill materials should be inorganic soils free of vegetation, debris, and fragments larger than
three inches in size. Pea gravel or other similar non-cementitious, poorly-graded materials
should not be used as fill or backfill without the prior approval of the geotechnical engineer.
It is anticipated that the undocumented fill materials beneath the proposed building are going to
be excavated. The fill materials generally encountered were silty sandy materials. The sandy
fill materials and onsite soils are considered suitable for use as engineered fill. The sandy lean
clay soils underlying the fill materials and near surface soils are not considered to be suitable for
use as engineered fill beneath foundations and floor slabs.
Approved on-site sandy soils and/or imported materials may be used as fill material for the
following:
r� general site grading �a foundation backfill
t� foundation areas r= pavement areas
� interior floor slab areas k-� exterior slab areas
Imported soils for use as fill material within proposed building and structure areas should
conform to low volume change materials as indicated in the following recommendations:

"Tested per ASTM method D 4829.
Engineered fill should be placed and compacted in horizontal lifts, using equipment and
procedures that will produce recommended moisture contents and densities throughout the lift.
Fill lifts should not exceed 10 inches loose thickness.

---- -------.....-- —.._..--...__.._ -- —
Utility trenches (non-structural areas): 9�% 0% +4%
Miscellaneous backfill: 90% 0% +4%
*Upper 12 inches of utility trenches should be compacted to a minimum of 95% of relative compaction per
ASTM D1557 within pavement areas.
4.2.5 Grading and Drainage
Positive drainage should be provided during construction and maintained throughout the life of
the development. Infiltration of water into utility trenches or foundation excavations should be
prevented during construction. Planters and other surface features which could retain water in
areas adjacent to the building or pavements should be sealed or eliminated.
Backfill against footings, exterior walls, and in utility and sprinkler line trenches should be well
compacted and free of all construction debris to reduce the possibility of moisture infiltration. We
recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance of 10 feet from the perimeter of any building
and the high-water elevation of the nearest storm-water retention basin.
Roof drainage should discharge into splash blocks or extensions when the ground surface
beneath such features is not protected by exterior slabs or paving. Sprinkler systems and
landscaped irrigation should not be installed within 5 feet of foundation walls.

4.2.6 Exterior Slab Design and Construction
Exterior slabs-on-grade, exterior architectural features, and utilities founded on, or in backfill
may experience some movement due to the volume change of the backfill. To reduce the
potential for damage caused by movement, we recommend:
f exterior slabs should be supported directly on subgrade fill (not ABC) with no, or
very low expansion potential;
, strict moisture-density control during placement of subgrade fills;
�� maintain proper subgrade moisture until placement of slabs;
�: placement of effective control joints on relatively close centers and isolation joints
between slabs and other structural elements;
4� provision for adequate drainage in areas adjoining the slabs;
�. use of designs which allow vertical movement between the exterior slabs and
adjoining structural elements.
4.2.7 Construction Considerations
It is anticipated that excavations for the proposed construction can be accomplished with
conventional earthmoving equipment. The workability of the subgrade may be affected by
precipitation, repetitive construction traffic or other factors. Workability may be improved by
scarifying and drying. Overexcavation of wet zones and replacement with granular materials
may be necessary. Lightweight excavation equipment may be required to reduce subgrade
pumping.
Upon completion of filling and grading, care should be taken to maintain the subgrade moisture
content prior to construction of pavements. Construction traffic over the completed subgrade
should be avoided to the extent practical. The site should also be graded to prevent ponding of
surface water on the prepared subgrades or in excavations. If the subgrade should become
desiccated, saturated, or disturbed, the affected material should be removed or these materials
should be scarified, moisture conditioned, and recompacted prior to pavement construction.
We recommend that the earthwork portion of this project be completed during extended periods
of dry weather if possible. If earthwork is completed during the wet season, it may be necessary
to take extra precautionary measures to protect subgrade soils. Wet season earthwork may
require additional mitigative measures beyond that which would be expected during the drier
summer and fall months. This could include diversion of surface runoff around exposed soils
and draining of ponded water on the site. Once subgrades are established, it may be necessary
to protect the exposed subgrade soils from construction traffic.
If unstable subgrade conditions develop during construction, suitable methods of stabilization
will be dependent upon factors such as schedule, weather, size of area to be stabilized, and the
nature of the instability. If soil stabilization is needed, Terracon should be consulted to evaluate
the situation as needed.

The individual contractor(s) is responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary
excavations (including utility trenches) as required to maintain stability of both the excavation
sides and bottom. Excavations should be sloped or shored in the interest of safety following
local, and federal regulations, including current OSHA excavation and trench safety standards.
The geotechnical engineer should be retained during the construction phase of the project to
observe earthwork and to perform necessary tests and observations during subgrade
preparation; proof-rolling; placement and compaction of controlled compacted fills; backfilling of
excavations to the completed subgrade.

loads plus design live load conditions. The design bearing pressure may be increased by one-
third when considering total loads that include wind or seismic conditions. The weight of the
foundation concrete below grade may be neglected in dead load computations.
Foundations should be reinforced as necessary to reduce the potential for distress caused by
differential foundation movement. The use of control joints at openings or other discontinuities
in masonry walls is recommended.
Foundation excavations should be observed by the geotechnical engineer. If the soil conditions
encountered differ significantly from those presented in this report, supplemental
recommendations will be required.

Modulus of subgrade based on engineered fill beneath floor slabs, and estimates obtained from
reaction NAVFAC 7.1 design charts). This value is for a small loaded area (1 Sq. ft
or less)such as for forklift wheel loads or point loads and should be
adjusted for larger loaded areas.
In areas of exposed concrete, control joints should be saw cut into the slab after concrete
placement in accordance with ACI Design Manual, Section 302.1 R-37 8.3.12 (tooled control
joints are not recommended). Additionally, dowels should be placed at the location of proposed
construction joints. To control the width of cracking (should it occur) continuous slab
reinforcement should be considered in exposed concrete slabs.
The use of a vapor retarder or barrier should be considered beneath concrete slabs on grade
that will be covered with moisture sensitive or impervious coverings, or when the slab will
support equipment sensitive to moisture to prevent moisture migration. When conditions warrant
the use of a vapor retarder, the slab designer and slab contractor should refer to ACI 302 and
ACI 360 for procedures and cautions regarding the use and placement of a vapor
retarder/barrier.

Fill against foundation and retaining walls should be compacted to densities recommended in
the Earthwork section of this report. Compaction of each lift adjacent to walis should be
accomplished with hand-operated tampers or other lightweight compactors.

4.6,1 Design Recommendations
An estimated design R-Value was used to calculate the asphalt concrete pavement thickness
sections and the portland cement concrete pavement sections. R-value testing should be
completed prior to pavement construction to verify the design R-value.
Assuming the pavement subgrades will be prepared as recommended within this report, the
following pavement sections should be considered minimums for this project for the traffic
indices assumed in the table below. As more specific traffic information becomes available, we
should be contacted to reevaluate the pavement calculations.

These pavement sections are considered minimal sections based upon the assumed traffic and
the existing subgrade conditions. However, they are expected to function with periodic
maintenance and overlays if good drainage is provided and maintained.
All concrete for rigid pavements should have a minimum flexural strength of 600 psi, and be
placed with a maximum slump of four inches. Proper joint spacing will also be required to
prevent excessive slab curling and shrinkage cracking. All joints should be sealed to prevent
entry of foreign material and dowelled where necessary for load transfer.

maintenance activities are intended to slow the rate of pavement deterioration, and to preserve
the pavement investment.
Preventative maintenance consists of both localized maintenance (e.g. crack sealing and
patching) and global maintenance (e.g. surFace sealing). Preventative maintenance is usually
the first priority when implementing a planned pavement maintenance program and provides the
highest return on investment for pavements.
4.6.2 Construction Considerations
Materials and construction of pavements for the project should be in accordance with the
requirements and specifications of the State of California Department of Transportation, or other
approved local governing specifications.
Base course or pavement materials should not be placed when the surface is wet. Surface
drainage should be provided away from the edge of paved areas to minimize lateral moisture
transmission into the subgrade.

Geotechnical Engineering Report �r�rr�eon
Proposed ALDI Building �� Temecula, California
October 28, 2015 r� Terracon Project No. 60155085
Field Exploration Description
A total of eight (8) test borings were advanced to an approximate depth of 5 to 21'/2 feet bgs on
October 5, 2015. Four (4) of the borings were utilized for percolation testing. The borings were
drilled at the approximate locations shown on the attached Boring Location Diagram, Exhibit A-
2. The test borings were advanced with a truck-mounted drill rig utilizing 6-inch diameter
hollow-stem augers. Groundwater was not encountered at the time of the field exploration.
The borings were located in the field by using the proposed site plan, aerial photographs of the
site, measuring distances from existing site features, and handheld GPS devices. The accuracy
of boring locations should only be assumed to the level implied by the method used.
Continuous lithologic logs of the borings were recorded by the field engineer during the drilling
operations. At selected intervals, samples of the subsurface materials were taken by driving
split-spoon or ring-barrel samplers. Bulk samples of subsurface materials were also obtained.
Groundwater conditions were evaluated in the borings at the time of site exploration.
Penetration resistance measurements were obtained by driving the split-spoon and ring-barrel
samplers into the subsurface materials with a 140-pound automatic hammer falling 30 inches.
The penetration resistance value is a useful index in estimating the consistency or relative
density of materials encountered.
An automatic hammer was used to advance the split-barrel sampler in the borings performed on
this site. A significantly greater efficiency is achieved with the automatic hammer compared to
the conventional safety hammer operated with a cathead and rope. This higher efficiency has
an appreciable effect on the SPT-N value. The effect of the automatic hammer's efficiency has
been considered in the interpretation and analysis of the subsurface information for this report.
The samples were tagged for identification, sealed to reduce moisture loss, and taken to our
laboratory for further examination, testing, and classification. Information provided on the boring
logs attached to this report includes soil descriptions, consistency evaluations, boring depths,
sampling intervals, and groundwater conditions. The borings were backfilled with auger cuttings
prior to the drill crew leaving the site.

Laboratory Testing
Samples retrieved during the field exploration were taken to the laboratory for further
observation by the project geotechnical engineer and were classified in accordance with the
Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) described in Appendix C. At that time, the field
descriptions were confirmed or modified as necessary and an applicable laboratory testing
program was formulated to determine engineering properties of the subsurface materials.
Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples and the test results are presented in
this appendix. The laboratory test results were used for the geotechnical engineering analyses,
and the development of foundation and earthwork recommendations. Laboratory tests were
performed in general accordance with the applicable ASTM, local or other accepted standards.
Selected soil samples obtained from the site were tested for the following engineering
properties:
�� In-situ Dry Density In-situ Water Content
�: Soluble Chlorides Soluble Sulfates
, pH Minimum Resistivity

DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION
Soil classification is based on the Unified Soil Classification System.Coarse Grained Soils have more than 50%of their dry
weight retained on a#200 sieve;their principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles,gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils have
less than 50%of their dry weight retained on a#200 sieve;they are principally described as clays if they are plastic, and
silts if they are slightly plastic or non-plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may be
added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse-grained soils are defined
on the basis of their in-place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.
LOCATION AND ELEVATION NOTES
Unless otherwise noted, Latitude and Longitude are approximately determined using a hand-held GPS device.The accuracy
of such devices is variable. Surface elevation data annotated with +/-indicates that no actual topographical survey was
conducted to confirm the surface elevation. Instead,the surface elevation was approximately determined from topographic
maps of the area.
RELATIVE DENSITY OF COARSE-GRAINED SOILS CONSISTENCY OF FINE-GRAINED SOILS
(More than 50%retained on No.200 sieve.) (50%or more passing the No.200 sieve.)
