Site ar. , Project Description The sub ect site consists of approximately 100 acres and is situar.el in the Rancho California area of Riverside County , California . The site is bounded on the east by Jefferson Avenue ind on the west by Murrieta Creek . it is situated north o ' the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Via Mon- tezuma The s_ : � is essentially flat-lying with natural drainage trend_ q to the south and west . Numerous erosion gullies and man-mad ! drainage trenches (ditches ) transect the site . The trenchn; within the southern site area extend from near Jeffer- son Aiinae to Murrieta Creek and have been constructed at an approc _ 1ate north-south spacing of 300± feet . The northern half ) ' the site is transacted by one major trench trending - 2- oTrocc Pile CC D-2516-JO1 May 8 , 981 northee : t to southwest with east-west trending Laterals drain- ing tc : common discharge in the south central site area . A wooc - same house is present in the west center portion of the site and the remainder is undeveloped Land . Present veg - etaticr consists basically of a moderate growth of low native weeds aid grasses . It is ctr understanding that the site will be subdivided into approxirately 40 parcels which will be utilized for commercial and/or Industrial development . No plans for buildings are yet avai'_ab' e . However , the site is generally located in an area which is developed with conventional concrete tilt-up warehouse/ office cevelopments . In our opinion it is reasonable to assume that si- ilar types of construction would be utilized on the site . Our review of preliminary grading plans prepared by Albert C . Martin End Associates indicates cuts and fills on the order cf- 5 to 10 feet are contemplated . It is our further understanding that in,- orted soil will be necessary to balance grading opera - tions o � the site and Chit the improted soil wi11 be nonexpar - sive an _ will come from an adjacent site across Murietta Creek . -3 - File Nc .

Field lr , estigation Our fiEl investigation was performed on April 22 and 23 , 198 ' and cor : sled of a site reconnaissance and the drilling of five explor� t ry borings at the approximate locations shown on the Site Ply , , Figure 1 , located in the pocket' at the end of this report . The exp] ratory borings were drilled to an average depth of 40± feEt below existing grade utilizing a Failing 750 truck- mountec otary wash bore rig . Relatively undisturbed samples were olt , ined by driving a three-inch O . D . split tube sampler into ti.E undisturbed soil mass with blows from a 300 pound downho] E hammer falling 24 inches . The sampler was equipped with orE inch-high 2-3/ 8-inch diameter brass sampler rings to faci ] Cate sample removal and testing . In addition , stan- dard pEr , tration sampling was performed at selected intervals in 3orir ; 5 ( two-inch diameter sampler driven into soil mass with blc� s from a 140 pound hammer falling 30 inches ) . -4- File Nc .

Logs of the explorzt ry borings are presented on Figures 10 through 19 of Appendix A. The logs depict the depth and description of the various oil types encountered , including the depth at which sampling, was performed . Laboratc v Tests Laborai:c y tests were performed in accordance with generally accepter. test methods of the American Society for Testing and Materia: (AS:1•1) and other suggested procedures . SeLecced reLati­(E .y undisturbed drive samples were tested for their in-place dry density , moisture content , shear strength and consol:.c. .tion characteristics . In addition , grain-size dis - tribut:.c [/hydrometer analysis was performed on selected sam- ples to id in soil classification and evaluation of site liquefac .ion potential . The resu .ts of our laboratory tests are summarized in tabular and grapiical form in Appendix A.

D-2516-JOl May 8 , � )81 Soil ail Groundwater Conditions In gena : il , as indicated by the exploratory borings , the site was foil to be underlain by alluvium consisting of loose to dense , - Lghly stratified deposits of silty and clayey sands , silty 331dy clay , clayey and sandy silts and relatively clean , well gr31ed sand . Due to their present relatively loose/soft , saturates conditions , the upper stratum (5 to 20-' feet) of these s ; '.ls possess moderate to high potential for postcon- structi . i settlement under the magnitude of proposed project loads . In addition , localized zones of these soils may be suscepLIDLe to liquefaction in the event of a major earth- quake o , the Elsinore , San Andreas or San Jacinto Fault Zones . Ground,a. _er was encountered in all exploratory borings at depths ranging from 3 . 5 to 9 . 3± feet below existing grade . The res . lts of groundwater measurements performed during the course _ F this investigation are summarized in Table III , Appendix A. Rased on field measurements and laboratory tests , it is our opinion that a wet/ saturated zone (cap- ilLary fringe) extending upward from 1 to 2± feet above the warcr table should be anticipated . Thus , groundwater -6- r_rn�� File Pc D-2516-JOI May 8 , 981 shoulc le assumed at an average depth of five feet below ex- isting Trade for purposes of analysis and design . Liquefaction Potential/Seismicity As discussed under Soil Conditions above , the site was found to be urderlain by alluvial soils , the upper stratum of which consist: of relatively loose , saturated , silty , fine sands , sandy silts and sandy silty clays . 'thus , localized zones of these soils may be susceptible to liquefaction indhe event of major eismic activity . A revie', of the "Seismic Safety and Safety General Plan Ele- ments , ( ounty of Riverside" prepared by Envicom indicates that the specific site area is designated as shaking zone 2C and that thf proposed site development is of structure class D . Utilizirg this information , ground accelerations of 0 . 13g are recommerded for structural design . It is our understanding , the present Riverside County Building Code requires a seismic coefficient of 0 . 18f; to he utilized for structural design cor- responding to the proposed development . Thus , our analysis relative to site liquefaction potential , discussed below , is based ujon site ground accelerations of 0 . 18g . This value is -7 - File tic D- 2516-JO1 May 8 , 981 sufficiently high to probably create liquefaction in localized areas c the site . In our opinion , the mitigation measures con- tainec lerein will reduce the potential for localized liquefac - tion to acceptable levels . Deep soil densification (upper 5 to 20�_- feet ) and/or Lowering the gro - idwater to a depth of 20± feet below existing grade over ri - majority of the site would be required to eliminate site Liquefaction potential as defined under current standares . However , as previously stated , state-of- the-art methods of an- alysis . idicate the relar_ively Low potential for Liquefaction can be nibstantially reduced upon the addition of surcharge loading; nd Limited dewateri-ng . Our cal lations , based on grain-size and relative density , utilizir ! Seed and Idriss ' simplified procedure for evaluating soil Ligiefaction and the fact that structural fills on the order cf 5 to 10± feet are to be constructed during site grad - ing , indicate that site liquefaction potential will be reduced to an acceptable risic level under ground accelerations as dis - cussed a _ :)ve . -8- File N : . D-2516-J01 May 8 , L981 In addition , if maximum credible seismic events should occur within the Elsinore Fault Zone causing significant surface displacements , it is our opinion , due to the discontinuity (localized zone) of potentially liquefiable soil underlying the site , resulting damage would most likely be confined to differEatial settlement resulting in moderate structural dis - tress . Total collapse of the warehouse/office structures or the risk of loss of lives is considered minimal . Discussion - Foundation Alternatives Advers _ soil conditions in the form of compressible and po- centialLy Liquefiable , saturated , fine-grained alluvial soils were e- ::ountered over the majority of the site . The upper stratur (5 to 20'_ feet) of these soils in their present con- dition are not considered suitable for support of settlement sensitise improvement , even if very low bearing capacities were 1 : Llized in design . Deep s : LI densification by conventional meLhods ( i . e . , Lotal. removal and recompactiun) of these soils would be economically prohi .) i :ive due to shallow groundwater which would require de- wacerl of the site . Deep soil densification and foundation -9- File ND . D-2516-.I01 May 8 , 1381 support itilizing displacement type piling would he an accept - able en= ineering alternative . However , it is our opinion that econcmi: consideration of the proposed development would pre- clude t.- is procedure . In our : pinion , limited dewatering and the use of surcharge loading =an satisfactorily reduce liquefaction potential . IF. additio - , surcharge loading of compressible soils in conjunc - tion wi . i carefully sequenced construction is an established method : f mitigating excessive postconstruction settlement . Thus , t - e recommendations presented hereinafter incorporate limited lewatering , surcharge loading within proposed build- ing limi =es and the utilization of shallow foundations with convent [ )nal slab-on-grade construction . - 10- Fiic. o .

As previously discussed , surcharge fills in excess of proposed structural fills , limited dewater- ing rcd limited remedial grading of natural soils with sequen- tial construction utilizing shallow foundations and conventional cast -( n-grade floor systems is recommended . Site_( radin 3 . A: 1 grading should be performed in accordance with the reccrrr ended grading specifications contained in Appendix 3 . Where recommendations of Appendix 9 conflict with this report , the recommendations oC this report shall take precedence . - L1 - Pile he D-2516-JO1 May E , 198L 4 . Site preparation should begin with the removal of trash , debris and other deleterious matter . These materials , as well as vegetative matter are not suitable for use in structural fills . -id should be exported from the site . 5 . Nat .iral soil beneath settlement sensitive improvements and foc a minimum horizontaL distance of five feet beyond their . 2rimeter should be overexcavated to a minimum depth Of four feet below stripping grade prior to the placement of structural fill . The exposed ground surface should be scar- ified = a a depth of 12 inches and recompacted to 90 percent of reLi ::ive compaction . In some areas of the site , ground- water ray hamper exposed ground surface prepareation . Thus , in or13 - to achieve proper compaction of overlying structural fills , ' t may become necessary to place crushed rock and/or filter :abric over the bottom of the excavation to create a bridg 'Li ; effect . Structural fill should then be placed and ccmpac : �d in horizontal layers until final elevations are reached Layers of fill should be no thicker than will alLow .' �r adequate bonding and compaction . All structural fill :shiuld be compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry dean ity at near optimum moisture content as determined in ac�:() dance with ASTM Test Procedure DL557 -70 . - 12 - rile lo . D-2516-jot May E 1981 6 . It areas where pavements or exterior flatwork are proposed , near surface natural soils should be overexcavated to a minimum depth of two feet , surface preparation performed and structural fill : laced as discussed above . 7 . r : � top 30 inches of soil in builing pad areas and the top 12 ii —es of soil in street and parking areas should consist of ti , aforementioned nonexpansive import . in some areas , it may In necessary to move overexcavated soil to adjacent' loca- tion:; �n the site to allow for the 30 inch nonexpansive soil cap . 8 . E� sting site drainage trenches should be cleaned and positi e gradients established . Subdrains should then be in- stalle , in accordance with details shown on Figure 20 , Appendix A. lr � nch backfill should then be performed in accordance with recotrrr( nded specifications of structural fill . Additional draina€ e facilities may be necessary . These will be deter- mined Ly the soil engineer during construction . 9 . Up ; -t completion of remedial grading and the placement of struct _ :al fill , a five foot high (above finished grade) sur - charg =_ _ill should be placed over the entire building area . -13- File N : . D- 2516-JOI May 8 , L981 The fi . a foot uniform fill thickness should extend a minimum herizo • =al distance of five feet beyond the building perimeter . SettleTML monuments should be placed and monitored . The sur- charge 'ill should remain in place until settlements , as indi - cated : ( the monument readings , have essentially ceased or are insig -ii 'icant . It is estimated that any settlement resulting from 3j .charge fill placement will occur relatively rapidly and s -i-ld be complete within a one to three month period . It is fu- : :er estimated that the total settlement resulting from the sl ' .harge and structuraL fills will be on the order of four to ei ; i : inches , the majority of which is expected to occur durin ; :.he fill placement . 10 .
