INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of the geotechnical investigation performed by Sladden Engineering
(Sladden) for the custom residence proposed for the site located at 48751 San Lucas Street within the La
Quinta Country Club development in the City of La Quinta, California. The site is located at
approximately 33.693797 degrees north latitude and 116.303801 degrees west longitude. The approximate
location of the site is indicated on the Site Location Map (Figure 1).
Our investigation was conducted in order to evaluate the engineering properties of the subsurface
materials, to evaluate their in -situ characteristics, and to provide engineering recommendations and
design criteria for site preparation, foundation design and the design of various site improvements. This
study also includes a review of published and unpublished geotechnical and geological literature
regarding seismicity at and near the subject site.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Based on our preliminary conversations, it is our understanding that the proposed project will consist of
constructing a custom residence on the project site. Sladden anticipates that the proposed project will
also include concrete flatwork and various associated site improvements. For our analyses we expect that
the proposed residence will consist of a relatively lightweight wood -frame structure supported on
conventional shallow spread footings and slab on grade foundation system.
We anticipate that grading will be limited to minor cuts and fills in order to accomplish the desired pad
elevations and provide adequate gradients for site drainage. Upon completion of precise grading plans,
Sladden should be retained in order to ensure that the recommendations presented within in this report
are incorporated into the design of the proposed project.
Structural foundation loads were not available at the time of this report. Based on our experience with
relatively lightweight structures, we expect that isolated column loads will be less than 20 kips and
continuous wall loads will be less than 2.0 kips per linear foot. If these assumed loads vary significantly
from the actual loads, we should be consulted to verify the applicability of the recommendations
provided.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The purpose of our investigation was to determine specific engineering characteristics of the surface and
near surface soil in order to develop foundation design criteria and recommendations for site
preparation. Exploration of the site was achieved by drilling two (2) exploratory boreholes to depths of
approximately 21.5 and 51.5 feet below the existing ground surface (bgs). Specifically, our site
characterization consisted of the following tasks:
■ Site reconnaissance to assess the existing surface conditions on and adjacent to the site.
■ Advancing two (2) exploratory boreholes to depths of approximately 21.5 and 51.5 feet bgs in order
to characterize the subsurface soil conditions. Representative samples of the soil were classified in the
field and retained for laboratory testing and engineering analyses.
Performing laboratory testing on selected samples to evaluate their engineering characteristics.
■ Reviewing geologic literature and discussing geologic hazards.
■ Performing engineering analyses to develop recommendations for foundation design and site
preparation.
■ The preparation of this report summarizing our work at the site.
SITE CONDITIONS
The site is located at 48751 San Lucas Street within the La Quinta Country Club development in the City
of La Quinta, California. The site is formally identified by the County of Riverside as APN 646-160-006
and occupies approximately 0.34 acres. At the time of our investigation the site was vacant and generally
cleared of surface vegetation. Generally, the site is bound by residential properties to the west, north and
south and San Lucas Street to the east.
Based on our review of the La Quinta 7.5-Minute Quadrangle Map (USGS, 2015), the site is situated at an
approximate elevation of 46 feet above mean sea level (MSL).
No natural ponding of water or surface seeps were observed at or near the site during our investigation
conducted on August 9, 2018. Site drainage appears to be controlled by sheet flow and surface infiltration.
Regional drainage is provided by the Whitewater River that is located north of the project site.

GEOLOGIC SETTING
The project site is located within the Colorado Desert Physiographic Province (also referred to as the
Salton Trough) that is characterized as a northwest -southeast trending structural depression extending
from the Gulf of California to the Banning Pass. The Salton Trough is dominated by several northwest
trending faults, most notably the San Andreas Fault system. The Salton Trough is bounded by the Santa
Rosa — San Jacinto Mountains on the southwest, the San Bernardino Mountains on the north, the Little
San Bernardino - Chocolate — Orocopia Mountains on the east, and extends through the Imperial Valley
into the Gulf of California on the south.
A relatively thick sequence (20,000 feet) of sediment has been deposited in the Coachella Valley portion of
the Salton Trough from Miocene to present times. These sediments are predominately terrestrial in nature
with some lacustrian (lake) and minor marine deposits. The major contributor of these sediments has
been the Colorado River. The mountains surrounding the Coachella Valley are composed primarily of
Precambrian metamorphic and Mesozoic "granitic" rock.
The Salton Trough is an internally draining area with no readily available outlet to Gulf of California and
with portions well below sea level (-253' msl). The region is intermittently blocked from the Gulf of
California by the damming effects of the Colorado River delta (current elevation +30'msl). Between about
300AD and 1600 AD (to 1700) the Salton Trough has been inundated by the River's water, forming
ancient Lake Cahuilla (max. elevation +58' msl). Since that time the floor of the Trough has been
repeatedly flooded with other "fresh" water lakes (1849, 1861, and 1891), the most recent and historically
long lived being the current Salton Sea (1905). The sole outlet for these waters is evaporation, leaving
behind vast amounts of terrestrial sediment materials and evaporite minerals.
The site has been mapped by Rogers (1965) to be immediately underlain by undifferentiated Quaternary -
age alluvium (Qal), lake deposits (Ql) and dune sand (Qs). The regional geologic setting for the site
vicinity is presented on the Regional Geologic Map (Figure 2).
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subsurface conditions at the site were investigated by drilling two (2) exploratory boreholes to
depths of approximately 21.5 and 51.5 feet bgs. The approximate locations of the boreholes are illustrated
on the Borehole Location Photograph (Figure 3). The boreholes were advanced using a truck -mounted
Mobile B-61 drill -rig equipped with 8-inch outside diameter hollow stem augers. A representative of
Sladden was on -site to log the materials encountered.
During our field investigation a thin mantel of fill soil was encountered to a maximum depth of
approximately two (2) feet bgs. Underlying the fill soil and extending to the maximum depths explored,
native alluvium was encountered. The native soil throughout the site consists primarily of sandy silt (ML)
and silty sand (SM). Granular horizons appeared dark brown in in -situ color, medium dense, dry to moist
and fine-grained. Cohesive materials appeared dark brown and olive brown in in -situ color, stiff to very
stiff, dry to very moist and exhibited low to medium plasticity characteristics.

The final logs represent our interpretation of the contents of the field logs and the results of the laboratory
observations and tests of the field samples. The final logs are included in Appendix A of this report. The
stratification lines represent the approximate boundaries between soil types although the transitions may
be gradual and/or variable across the site.
Groundwater was not encountered to a maximum explored depth of 51 feet bgs during our field
investigation. It is our opinion that groundwater should not be a factor during construction of the
proposed project.
SEISMICITY AND FAULTING
The southwestern United States is a tectonically active and structurally complex region, dominated by
northwest trending dextral faults. The faults of the region are often part of complex fault systems,
composed of numerous subparallel faults which splay or step from main fault traces. Strong seismic
shaking could be produced by any of these faults during the design life of the proposed project.
We consider the most significant geologic hazard to the project to be the potential for moderate to strong
seismic shaking that is likely to occur during the design life of the project. The proposed project is located
in the highly seismic Southern California region within the influence of several fault systems that are
considered to be active or potentially active. An active fault is defined by the State of California as a
"sufficiently active and well defined fault" that has exhibited surface displacement within the Holocene
epoch (about the last 11,000 years). A potentially active fault is defined by the State as a fault with a
history of movement within Pleistocene time (between 11,000 and 1.6 million years ago).
As previously stated, the site has been subjected to strong seismic shaking related to active faults that
traverse through the region. Some of the more significant seismic events near the subject site within
recent times include: M6.0 North Palm Springs (1986), M6.1 Joshua Tree (1992), M7.3 Landers (1992),
M6.2 Big Bear (1992) and M7.1 Hector Mine (1999).
Table 1 lists the closest known potentially active faults that was generated in part using the EQFAULT
computer program (Blake, 2000), as modified using the fault parameters from The Revised 2002
California Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Maps (Cao et al, 2003). This table does not identify the probability
of reactivation or the on -site effects from earthquakes occurring on any of the other faults in the region.

2016 CBC SEISMIC DESIGN PARAMETERS
SIadden has reviewed the 2016 California Building Code (CBC) and summarized the current seismic
design parameters for the proposer! structures. The seismic design category for a structure may be
determined in accordance with Section 1613 of the 2016 CBC or ASCE7. According to the 2016 CBC, Site
Class D may be used to estimate design seismic loading for the proposed structure. The 2016 CSC Seismic
Design Parameters are summarized below. The project Design Map Reports are included within
Appendix C (USGS, 2018a).

GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
The subject site is located in an active seismic zone and will likely experience strong seismic shaking
during the design life of the proposed project. In general, the intensity of ground shaking will depend on
several factors including: the distance to the earthquake focus, the earthquake magnitude, the response
characteristics of the underlying materials, and the quality and type of construction. Geologic hazards
and their relationship to the site are discussed below.
I. Surface_Rul2ture. Surface rupture is expected to occur along preexisting, known active fault
traces. However, surface rupture could potentially splay or step from known active faults
or rupture along unidentified traces. Based on our review of Rogers (1965), Jennings (1994),
CDOC (2018) and RCPR (2018), known faults are not mapped on or projecting towards the
site. No signs of active surface faulting were observed during our review of non -stereo
digitized photographs of the site and site vicinity (Google Earth, 2018). Finally, no signs of
active surface fault rupture or secondary seismic effects (lateral spreading, lurching etc.)
were identified on -site during our field investigation. Therefore, it is our opinion that risks
associated with primary surface ground rupture should be considered "low".
II. Ground Shaking. The site has been subjected to past ground shaking by faults that traverse
through the region. Strong seismic shaking from nearby active faults is expected to
produce strong seismic shaking during the design life of the proposed project. A
probabilistic approach was employed to the estimate the peak ground acceleration (am.)
that could be experienced at the site. Based on the USGS Unified Hazard Tool (USGS,
2018b) and shear wave velocity (Vs30) of 259 m/s, the site could be subjected to ground
motions on the order of 0.56g. The peak ground acceleration at the site is judged to have a
475 year return period and a 10 percent chance of exceedance in 50 years.

III. U Uefactioii. Liquefaction is the process in which loose, saturated granular soil loses
strength as a result of cyclic loading. The strength loss is a result of a decrease in granular
sand volume and a positive increase in pore pressures. Generally, liquefaction can occur if
All of the following conditions apply: liquefaction -susceptible soil, groundwater within a
depth of 50 feet or less, and strong seismic shaking.
According to the County of Riverside (RCPR, 2018), the site is situated in a "Low"
liquefaction potential zone. Based on our review of groundwater levels in the site vicinity
(Tyley, 1974), risks associated with liquefactions are considered negligible).
IV. Tsunamis and Seiches. Because the site is situated at an inland location, and is not
immediately adjacent to any impounded bodies of water, risk associated with tsunamis
and seiches are considered negligible.
V. Slope Failure Landsliding, Rock Falls. No signs of slope instability in the form of
landslides, rock falls, earthflows or slumps were observed at or near the subject site. The
site is situated on relatively flat ground and not immediately adjacent to any slopes or
hillsides. As such, risks associated with slope instability should be considered negligible.
VI. Expansive Soil. Generally, the site soil consists of silty sand (SM) and sandy silt (ML).
Based on the results of our laboratory testing (EI=18), the materials underlying the site are
considered to have a "very low" expansion potential. However, the expansion potential of
the surface soil should be reevaluated after remedial grading.
VII. Settlement. Settlement resulting from the anticipated foundation loads should be minimal
provided that the recommendations included in this report are considered in foundation
design and construction. The estimated ultimate static settlement is calculated to be
approximately one -inch when using the recommended bearing pressures. As a practical
matter, differential static settlement between footings can be assumed as one-half of the
total settlement.
VIII. Subsidence. Land subsidence can occur in valleys where aquifer systems have been
subjected to extensive groundwater pumping, such that groundwater pumping exceeds
groundwater recharge. Generally, pore water reduction can result in a rearrangement of
skeletal grains and could result in elastic (recoverable) or inelastic (unrecoverable)
deformation of an aquifer system.
Sneed and Brandt (USGS, 2014) have reported significant land subsidence measurements
within the area of La Quinta as measured between 1995 and 2010. According to the
aforementioned authors, the subject site is part of the broader "La Quinta subsidence area".
This northwest -southeast trending subsidence zone is generally defined as an elongated
subsidence bowl bounded by the westward extension of Avenue 48 to the north, Avenue
60 to the south, the Santa Rosa Mountains to the west and varying streets from Jefferson
Street to Monroe Street to the East (Figure 4). Measurements throughout this subsidence
zone from June 27, 1995 and September 19, 2010 have indicated subsidence of
approximately 0.45 feet.

Although recent investigations have documented significant subsidence within the
Coachella Valley area (USGS, 2007), no fissures or other surficial evidence of subsidence
were observed at the subject site. With the exception of isolated tension zones typically
manifested on the ground surface as fissures and/or ground cracks, subsidence related to
groundwater depletion is generally areal in nature with very little differential settlement
over short distances such as across individual buildings.
The Coachella Valley Water District has publically acknowledged regional subsidence
throughout the southern portion of the Coachella Valley and has indicated a commitment
to groundwater replenishment programs that are intended to limit future subsidence. At
this time, subsidence is considered a regional problem requiring regional mitigation not
specific to the project vicinity.
D(. Ground Fissures. No surface features indicative of ground fissuring were identified on the
site during our field investigation. Accordingly, risks associated with ground fissuring are
considered low.
X. Debris Flows. Debris flows are viscous flows consisting of poorly sorted mixtures of
sediment and water and are generally initiated on slopes steeper than approximately six
horizontal to one vertical (6H:1V) (Boggs, 2001). Based on the flat nature of the site and the
composition of the surface soil, we judge that risks associated with debris flows should be
considered remote.
XI. Flooding and Erosion. No signs of flooding or erosion were observed during our field
investigation. However, flooding and erosion should be evaluated and mitigated by the
project design Civil Engineer.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of our investigation, it is our professional opinion that the project should be feasible
from a geotechnical perspective provided that the recommendations provided in this report are
incorporated into design and carried out through construction. The main geotechnical concern is the
presence of loose native surface soil throughout the subject site.
We recommend that remedial grading within the proposed building areas include over -excavation and
re -compaction of the primary foundation bearing soil. Specific recommendations for site preparation are
presented in the Earthwork and Grading section of this report.
Caving did occur to varying degrees within each of our exploratory bores and the surface soil may be
susceptible to caving within deeper excavations. All excavations should be constructed in accordance
with the normal CalOSHA excavation criteria. On the basis of our observations of the materials
encountered, we anticipate that the subsoil will conform to that described by CalOSHA as Type C. Soil
conditions should be verified in the field by a "Competent person" employed by the Contractor.
The following recommendations present more detailed design criteria that have been developed on the
basis of our field and laboratory investigation.

18-08-423
EARTHWORK AND GRADING
All earthwork including excavation, backfill and preparation of the subgrade soil, shoulcl be performed i[I
accordance with the geotechnical recommendations presented in this report and portions of the local
regulatory requirements, as applicable. All earthwork should be performed under the observation and
testing of a qualified soil engineer. The following geotechnical engineering recommendations for the
proposed project are based on observations from the field investigation program, laboratory testing and
geotechnical engineering analyses.
a. Stripping. Areas to be graded should be cleared of any vegetation, associated root systems, and
debris. All areas scheduled to receive fill should be cleared of old fill and any irreducible matter.
The strippings should be removed off site, or stockpiled for later use in landscape areas. Voids
left by obstructions should be properly backfilled in accordance with the compaction
recommendations of this report.
b. Prei2aration of the Building Areas: All undocumented artificial fill soil should be removed to
competent native soil. In order to provide for firm and uniform foundation bearing conditions,
the primary foundation bearing soil should be overexcavated and recompacted. Overexcavation
should extend to a minimum depth of 4 feet below existing grade or 3 feet below the bottom of
the footings, whichever is deeper. Once adequate removals have been verified, the exposed
native soil should be moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture content and compacted to
at least 90 percent relative compaction. The previously removed material may then be placed as
compacted engineered fill as outlined below. Removals should extend at least 5 feet laterally
beyond the footing limits.
C. Fill Placement and Compaction: Soil to be used as engineered fill should be free of organic
material, debris, and other deleterious substances, and should not contain irreducible matter
greater than three inches in maximum dimension. All fill materials should be placed in thin lifts,
not exceeding six inches in a loose condition. If import fill is required, the material should be of a
low to non -expansive nature and should meet the following criteria:
Plastic Index Less than 12
Liquid Limit Less than 35
Percent Soil Passing #200 Sieve Between 15% and 35%
Maximum Aggregate Size 3 inches
The subgrade and all fill should be compacted with acceptable compaction equipment, to at least
90 percent relative compaction. The bottom of the exposed subgrade should be observed by a
representative of Sladden Engineering prior to fill placement. Compaction testing should be
performed on all lifts in order to verify proper placement of the fill materials. Table 2 provides a
summary of the excavation and compaction recommendations.

Table 2
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
*Remedial Grading Excavation and recompaction within the building
envelope and extending laterally for 5 feet beyond
the building limits and to a minimum of 4 feet
below existing grade or 3 feet below the bottom of
the footings, whichever is deeper
Native / Import Engineered Fill Place in thin lifts not exceeding 6 inches in the loose
condition and compact to a minimum of 90 percent
relative compaction within 2 percent of the
optimum moisture content.
*Actual depth may vary and should be determined by a representative of Sladden Engineering in the field
during construction.
d. Shrinkage and Subsidence. Volumetric shrinkage of the material that is excavated and replaced
as controlled compacted fill should be anticipated. We estimate that this shrinkage should be
between 15 and 20 percent. Subsidence of the surfaces that are scarified and compacted should
be less than 1 tenth of a foot. This will vary depending upon the type of equipment used, the
moisture content of the soil at the time of grading and the actual degree of compaction attained.
CONVENTIONAL SHALLOW SPREAD FOOTINGS
Conventional spread footings are expected to provide adequate support for the proposed residential
structure. All footings should be founded upon properly compacted engineered fill and should have a
minimum embedment depth of 12 inches measured from the lowest adjacent finished grade. Continuous
and isolated footings should have minimum widths of 12 inches and 24 inches, respectively. Continuous
and isolated footings supported upon properly compacted soil may be designed using allowable (net)
bearing pressures of 1800 and 2000 pounds per square foot (psf), respectively. Allowable increases of 250
psf for each additional 1 foot in width and 250 psf for each additional 6 inches in depth may be utilized, if
desired. The maximum allowable bearing pressure should be 2500 psf. The allowable bearing pressure
applies to combined dead and sustained live loads. The allowable bearing pressures may be increased by
one-third when considering transient live loads, including seismic and wind forces.
Based on the recommended allowable bearing pressures, the total static settlement of the shallow footings
is anticipated to be less than one -inch, provided foundation preparations conform to the
recommendations described in this report. Static differential settlement is anticipated to be approximately
one-half of the total settlement for similarly loaded footings spaced up to approximately 50 feet apart.
Lateral load resistance for the spread footings will be developed by passive pressure against the sides of
the footings below grade and by friction acting at the base of the footings. An allowable passive pressure
of 250 psf per foot of depth may be used for design purposes. An allowable coefficient of friction 0.45 may
be used for dead and sustained live loads to compute the frictional resistance of the footing placed
directly on compacted fill. Under seismic and wind loading conditions, the passive pressure and
frictional resistance may be increased by one-third.

18-08-423
All footing excavations should be observed by a representative of the project geotechnical consultant to
verify adequate embedment depths prior to placement of forms, steel reinforcement or concrete. The
excavations should be trimmed neat, level and square. All loose, disturbed, sloughed or moisture -
softened soils and/or any construction debris should be removed prior to concrete placement. Excavated
soil generated from footing and/or utility trenches should not be stockpiled within the building envelopes
or in areas of exterior concrete flatwork. All footings should be reinforced in accordance with the project
Structural Engineer's recommendations.
SLABS -ON -GRADE
In order to provide uniform and adequate support, concrete slabs -on -grade must be placed on properly
compacted engineered fill as outlined in the previous sections of this report. The slab subgrades should
remain near optimum moisture content and should not be permitted to dry prior to concrete placement.
Slab subgrade should be firm and unyielding. Disturbed soil should be removed and replaced with
engineered fill soil compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction.
Slab thickness and reinforcement should be determined by the Structural Engineer. We recommend a
minimum floor slab thickness of 5.0 inches and minimum reinforcement of #4 bars at 24 inches on center
in both directions. All slab reinforcement should be supported on concrete chairs to ensure that
reinforcement is placed at slab mid -height.
Slabs with moisture sensitive surfaces should be underlain with a moisture vapor retarder consisting of a
polyvinyl chloride membrane such as 10-mil visqueen, or equivalent. All laps within the membrane
should be sealed and at least 2 inches of clean sand should be placed over the membrane to promote
uniform curing of the concrete. To reduce the potential for punctures, the membrane should be placed on
a pad surface that has been graded smooth without any sharp protrusions. If a smooth surface can not be
achieved by grading, consideration should be given to placing a 1-inch thick leveling course of sand
across the pad surface prior to placement of the membrane.
CORROSION SERIES
The soluble sulfate concentrations of the surface soil were determined to be 780 parts per million (ppm).
The soil is considered to have a "moderate" corrosion potential with respect to concrete. The use of Type
V cement and special sulfate resistant concrete mixes may be necessary. The soluble sulfate content of the
surface soil should be reevaluated after grading and appropriate concrete mix designs should be
established based upon post -grading test results.
The pH level of the surface soil was 9.3. Based on soluble chloride concentration testing (350 ppm) the soil
is considered to have a "moderate" corrosion potential with respect to normal grade steel. The minimum
resistivity of the surface soil was found to be 560 ohm -cm that suggests the site soil is considered to have
a "very severe" corrosion potential with respect to ferrous metal installations. A corrosion expert should
be consulted regarding appropriate corrosion protection measures for corrosion sensitive installations.

UTILITY TRENCH BACKFILL
All utility trench backfill should be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent. Trench
backfill materials should be placed in lifts no greater than six inches in a loose condition, moisture
conditioned (or air-dried) as necessary to achieve near optimum moisture conditions, and then
mechanically compacted in place to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent. A representative of the
project soil engineer should test the backfill to verify adequate compaction.
EXTERIOR CONCRETE FLATWORK
To minimize cracking of concrete flatwork, the subgrade soil below concrete flatwork areas should first
be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent. A representative of the project
geotechnical consultant should observe and verify the density and moisture content of the soil prior to
concrete placement.
DRAINAGE
All final grades should be provided with positive gradients away from foundations to provide rapid
removal of surface water runoff to an adequate discharge point. No water should be allowed to be pond
on or immediately adjacent to foundation elements. In order to reduce water infiltration into the
subgrade soil, surface water should be directed away from building foundations to an adequate
discharge point. Subgrade drainage should be evaluated upon completion of the precise grading plans
and in the field during grading.
LIMITATIONS
The findings and recommendations presented in this report are based upon an interpolation of the soil
conditions between the exploratory bore locations and extrapolation of these conditions throughout the
proposed building areas. Should conditions encountered during grading appear different than those
indicated in this report, this office should be notified.
The use of this report by other parties or for other projects is not authorized. The recommendations of this
report are contingent upon monitoring of the grading operation by a representative of Sladden
Engineering. All recommendations are considered to be tentative pending our review of the grading
operation and additional testing, if indicated. If others are employed to perform any soil testing, this
office should be notified prior to such testing in order to coordinate any required site visits by our
representative and to assure indemnification of Sladden Engineering.
We recommend that a pre -job conference be held on the site prior to the initiation of site grading. The
purpose of this meeting will be to assure a complete understanding of the recommendations presented in
this report as they apply to the actual grading performed.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Once completed, final project plans and specifications should be reviewed by use prior to construction to
confirm that the full intent of the recommendations presented herein have been applied to design and
construction. Following review of plans and specifications, observation should be performed by the Soil
Engineer during construction to document that foundation elements are founded on/or penetrate into the
recommended soil, and that suitable backfill soil is placed upon competent materials and properly
compacted at the recommended moisture content.
Tests and observations should be performed during grading by the Soil Engineer or his representative in
order to verify that the grading is being performed in accordance with the project specifications. Field
density testing shall be performed in accordance with acceptable ASTM test methods. The minimum
acceptable degree of compaction should be 90 percent for engineered fil soil and 95 percent for Class II
aggregate base as obtained by ASTM Test Method D1557. Where testing indicates insufficient density,
additional compactive effort shall be applied until retesting indicates satisfactory compaction.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION
For our field investigation, two (2) exploratory bores were excavated utilizing a truck -mounted drill rig
equipped with 8 inch (O.D.) hollow -stem augers (mobile B-61). Continuous logs of the materials
encountered were made by a representative of Sladden Engineering. Materials encountered in the
boreholes were classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System which is presented in
this appendix.
Representative undisturbed samples were obtained within our borings by driving a thin -walled steel
penetration sampler (California split spoon sampler) or a Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampler with a
140 pound automatic -trip hammer dropping approximately 30 inches (ASTM D1586). The number of
blows required to drive the samplers 18 inches was recorded in 6-inch increments and blowcounts are
indicated on the boring logs.
The California samplers are 3.0 inches in diameter, carrying brass sample rings having inner diameters of
2.5 inches. The standard penetration samplers are 2.0 inches in diameter with an inner diameter of 1.5
inches. Undisturbed samples were removed from the sampler and placed in moisture sealed containers in
order to preserve the natural soil moisture content. Bulk samples were obtained from the excavation
spoils and samples were then transported to our laboratory for further observations and testing.

APPENDIX B
LABORATORY TESTING
Sladden Engineering
APPENDIX B
LABORATORY TESTING
Representative bulk and relatively undisturbed soil samples were obtained in the field and returned to
our laboratory for additional observations and testing. Laboratory testing was generally performed in
two phases. The first phase consisted of testing in order to determine the compaction of the existing
natural soil and the general engineering classifications of the soils underlying the site. This testing was
performed in order to estimate the engineering characteristics of the soil and to serve as a basis for
selecting samples for the second phase of testing. The second phase consisted of soil mechanics testing.
This testing including consolidation, shear strength and expansion testing was performed in order to
provide a means of developing specific design recommendations based on the mechanical properties of
the soil.
CLASSIFICATION AND COMPACTION TESTING
Unit Weight and Moisture Content Determinations: Each undisturbed sample was weighed and
measured in order to determine its unit weight. A small portion of each sample was then subjected to
testing in order to determine its moisture content. This was used in order to determine the dry density of
the soil in its natural condition. The results of this testing are shown on the Boring Logs.
Maximum Density -Optimum Moisture Determinations: Representative soil types were selected for
maximum density determinations. This testing was performed in accordance with the ASTM Standard
D1557-91, Test Method A. Graphic representations of the results of this testing are presented in this
appendix. The maximum densities are compared to the field densities of the soil in order to determine the
existing relative compaction to the soil.
Classification Testing: Soil samples were selected for classification testing. This testing consists of
mechanical grain size analyses. This provides information for developing classifications for the soil in
accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System which is presented in the preceding appendix.
This classification system categorizes the soil into groups having similar engineering characteristics. The
results of this testing is very useful in detecting variations in the soil and in selecting samples for further
testing.
SOIL MECHANIC'S TESTING
Expansion Testing: One (1) bulk sample was selected for Expansion testing. Expansion testing was
performed in accordance with the UBC Standard 18-2. This testing consists of remolding 4-inch diameter
by 1-inch thick test specimens to a moisture content and dry density corresponding to approximately 50
percent saturation. The samples are subjected to a surcharge of 144 pounds per square foot and allowed
to reach equilibrium. At that point the specimens are inundated with distilled water. The linear
expansion is then measured until complete.
Direct Shear Testing: One (1) bulk sample was selected for Direct Shear testing. This test measures the
shear strength of the soil under various normal pressures and is used to develop parameters for
foundation design and lateral design. Tests were performed using a recompacted test specimen that was
saturated prior to tests. Tests were performed using a strain controlled test apparatus with normal
pressures ranging from 800 to 2300 pounds per square foot.

Consolidation/Hydro-Collapse Testing: Two (2) relatively undisturbed samples were selected for
consolidation testing. For this test, a one -inch thick test specimen was subjected to vertical loads varying
from 575 psf to 11520 psf applied progressively. The consolidation at each load increment was recorded
prior to placement of each subsequent load.
Corrosion Series Testing: The soluble sulfate concentrations of the surface soil were determined in
accordance with California Test Method Number (CA) 417. The pH and Minimum Resistivity were
determined in accordance with CA 643. The soluble chloride concentrations were determined in
accordance with CA 422.
