DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENITEPARTMENT
As per your request, LandMark Consultants, Inc. is providing the following geotechnical report
for the proposed 3,156 square foot single family residential project located at 77-137 Casa Del Sol
in La Quinta, California. The proposed development will consist of new single family residential
home with a garage, concrete driveway and swimming pool. The new home and garage will be
one story, wood and metal frame structure with shallow reinforced concrete foundations and slab -
on -grade concrete floors.
Purpose of Work
The purpose of this study was to investigate the upper 14.5 feet of subsurface soil at selected
locations within the site for evaluation of physical/engineering properties. From the analysis of the
field and laboratory data, professional opinions were developed and are provided in this report
regarding geotechnical conditions at this site and the effect on design and construction.
Field Exploration
Subsurface exploration was performed on June 22, 2018 using a backhoe to excavate two (2)
exploratory test pits to an approximate depth of 14.5 feet below the existing ground surface. The
test pits locations are shown on the Site and Exploration Plan (Plate A-2). Bulk samples were
obtained at selected depths in the test pits. The test pits were Iocated by taped or paced
kJ*
W
APN 773-360-013 — La Quinta, CA LCI Report No. LP18112
A senior engineer maintained logs of the test pits during exploration. The logs were edited in final
form after a review of retrieved samples and the field and laboratory data. The test pit logs are
presented on Plates B-1 and B-2 in Appendix B. Soils encountered have been classified according
to the Unified Soil Classification System. A key to the test pit logs is presented on Plate B-3. The
stratification lines shown on the subsurface logs represent the approximate boundaries between the
various strata. However, the transition from one stratum to another may be gradual over some
range of depth.
After logging and sampling the soil, the exploratory test pits were backfilled with the excavated
material. The backfill was loosely placed and was not compacted to the requirements specified for
engineered fill.
Laboratory Testing
Laboratory tests were conducted on selected bulk soil samples to aid in classification and
evaluation of selected properties of the site soils. The tests were conducted in general
conformance to the procedures of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or
other standardized methods as referenced below. The laboratory testing program consisted of the
following tests:
• Grain Size Analysis (ASTM D422) — used for soil classification
Moisture -Density Relationship (ASTM D1557) — used for soil compaction
determinations
• Chemical Analyses (soluble sulfates & chlorides, pH, and resistivity) (Caltrans
Methods) — used for concrete mix evaluations and corrosion protection
requirements
The laboratory test results are presented on the subsurface logs and on Plates C-1 through C-3 in
Appendix C. Engineering parameters of soil strength, compressibility, and relative density utilized
for developing design criteria provided within this report were extrapolated from data obtained
from the field and laboratory testing program.

Site Conditions
The project site is rectangular shaped in plain view, elongated in the east -west direction, and is
relatively flat -lying vacant lot. The subject is located on the south side of Casa Del Sol west of
Avenida Madero. Both streets are paved two-lane residential streets. Adjacent properties are flat -
lying and are approximately at the same elevation with this site. Single-family residences and
vacant lots are scattered around the project site. A flood channel is located approximately 200 feet
to the northwest.
The project site lies at an elevation of approximately 70 to 72 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
in the Coachella Valley region of the California low desert. Annual rainfall in this and region is
less than 4 inches per year with four months of average summertime temperatures above 100 'F.
Winter temperatures are mild, seldom reaching freezing.
Subsurface Soils
Subsurface soils encountered during the field exploration conducted on June 22, 2018 consist of
dry, medium dense silty sand/sand (SMISP). The near surface soils are non -expansive in nature.
The subsurface logs (Plates B-1 and B-2) depict the stratigraphic relationships of the various soil
types.
Groundwater
Groundwater was not encountered in the borings during the time of exploration. According to
Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) readings of groundwater levels from nearby wells,
groundwater is located at a depth between approximately 70 and 85 feet below the ground surface
in the vicinity of the project site.
There is uncertainty in the accuracy of short-term water level measurements. Groundwater levels
may fluctuate with precipitation, irrigation of adjacent properties, drainage, and site grading. The
groundwater level noted should not be interpreted to represent an accurate or permanent condition.
Based on the regional topography, groundwater flow is assumed to be generally towards the north-
west within the site area. Flow directions may vary locally in the vicinity of the site.
LandMark Consultants, Inc. Page 3
APN 773-360-013 — La Quinta, CA LCI Report No. LP18112
Geologic Setting
The project site is located in the Coachella Valley portion of the Salton Trough physiographic
province. The Salton Trough is a geologic structural depression resulting from large scale regional
faulting. The trough is bounded on the northeast by the San Andreas Fault and Chocolate
Mountains and the southwest by the Peninsular Range and faults of the San Jacinto Fault Zone.
The Salton Trough represents the northward extension of the Gulf of California, containing both
marine and non -marine sediments since the Miocene Epoch. Tectonic activity that formed the
trough continues at a high rate as evidenced by deformed young sedimentary deposits and high
levels of seismicity. Figure 1 shows the location of the site in relation to regional faults and
physiographic features.
The surrounding regional geology includes the Peninsular Ranges (Santa Rosa and San Jacinto
Mountains) to the south and west, the Salton Basin to the southeast, and the Transverse Ranges
(Little San Bernardino and Orocopia Mountains) to the north and east. Hundreds of feet to several
thousand feet of Quaternary fluvial, lacustrine, and aeolian soil deposits underlie the Coachella
Valley.
The southeastern part of the Coachella Valley lies below sea level. In the geologic past, the
ancient Lake Cahuilla submerged the area. Calcareous tufa deposits may be observed along the
ancient shoreline as high as elevation 45 feet above mean seal level (AMSL) along the Santa Rosa
Mountains from La Quinta southward. Lacustrine (lake bed) deposits comprise the subsurface
soils over much of the eastern Coachella Valley with alluvial outwash along the flanks of the
valley.
Faulting
The project site is located in the seismically active Coachella Valley of southern California with
numerous mapped faults of the San Andreas Fault System traversing the region. We have
performed a computer -aided search of known faults or seismic zones that lie within a 44-mile (71
kilometer) radius of the project site (Table 1).
A fault map illustrating known active faults relative to the site is presented on Figure 1, Regional
Fault Map. Figure 2 shows the project site in relation to local faults. The criterion for fault
classification adopted by the California Geological Survey defines Earthquake Fault Zones along
active or potentially active faults.
LandMark Consultants, Inc. Page 4
APN 773-360-013 — La Quinta, CA LCI Report No. LP18112
An active fault is one that has ruptured during Holocene time (roughly within the last 11,000
years). A fault that has ruptured during the last 1.8 million years (Quaternary time) but has not
been proven by direct evidence to have not moved within Holocene time is considered to be
potentially active. A fault that has not moved during Quaternary time is considered to be inactive.
Review of the current Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone maps (CGS, 2000a) indicates that
the nearest mapped Earthquake Fault Zone is the San Andreas San Bernardino (South) fault
located approximately 8.7 miles northeast of the project site.
General Ground Motion Analysis
The project site is considered likely to be subjected to moderate to strong ground motion from
earthquakes in the region. Ground motions are dependent primarily on the earthquake magnitude
and distance to the seismogenic (rupture) zone. Acceleration magnitudes also are dependent upon
attenuation by rock and soil deposits, direction of rupture and type of fault; therefore, ground
motions may vary considerably in the same general area.
CBC General Ground Motion Parameters: The 2016 CBC general ground motion parameters are
based on the Risk -Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER). The U.S. Geological
Survey "U.S. Seismic Design Maps Web Application" (USGS, 2018) was used to obtain the site
coefficients and adjusted maximum considered earthquake spectral response acceleration
parameters. The site soils have been classified as Site Class D (stiff soil profile).
Design spectral response acceleration parameters are defined as the earthquake ground motions
that are two-thirds (2/3) of the corresponding MCER ground motions. Design earthquake ground
motion parameters are provided in Table 2. A Risk Category H was determined using Table
1604.5 and the Seismic Design Category is D since S, is less than 0.75.
The Maximum Considered Earthquake Geometric Mean (MCEG) peak ground acceleration
(PGAM) value was determined from the "U.S. Seismic Design Maps Web Application" (USGS,
2018) for liquefaction and seismic settlement analysis in accordance with 2016 CBC Section
1803.5.12 and CGS Note 48 (PGAM = FPGa*PGA). A PGAm value of 0.52g has been determined
for the project site.

Seismic and Other Hazards
► Groundshaking. The primary seismic hazard at the project site is the potential for strong
groundshaking during earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault. A further discussion of
groundshaking follows above.
► Surface Rupture. The project site does not lie within a State of California, Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zone. Surface fault rupture is considered to be unlikely at the project site
because of the well -delineated fault lines through the Coachella Valley as shown on USGS and
CDMG maps. However, because of the high tectonic activity and deep alluvium of the region, we
cannot preclude the potential for surface rupture on undiscovered or new faults that may underlie
the site.
P. Liquefaction. Liquefaction is unlikely to be a potential hazard at the site, due to groundwater
deeper than 50 feet (the maximum depth that liquefaction is known to occur).
Other Potential Geologic Hazards.
► Landsliding. The hazard of landsliding is unlikely due to the regional planar topography. No
ancient landslides are shown on geologic maps of the region and no indications of landslides were
observed during our site investigation.
► Volcanic hazards. The site is not located in proximity to any known volcanically active area
and the risk of volcanic hazards is considered very low.
► Tsunamis, sieches, and flooding. The site does not lie near any large bodies of water, so the
threat of tsunami, sieches, or other seismically -induced flooding is unlikely. The site is located
within Other Flood Areas, Zone X (as shown on Plate A-8). The areas of 1% annual chance flood
with average depth of less than 1 foot or with drainage area less than 1 square mile.
► Expansive soil. The near surface soils at the project site consist of silty sands/sands which are
non -expansive.
Site Preparation
Clearing and Grubbing Any surface improvements, debris or vegetation including grass, brush,
and weeds, on the site at the time of construction should be removed from the construction area.
Root balls should be completely excavated. Organic stripping should be hauled from the site and
not used as fill. Any trash, construction debris, and buried obstructions such as sprinkler and
leach lines exposed during rough grading should be traced to the limits of the foreign material by
the grading contractor and removed under our supervision. Any excavations resulting from site
clearing should be dish -shaped to the lowest depth of disturbance and backfilled under the
observation of the geotechnical engineer's representative.
LandMark Consultants, Inc. Page 6
APN 773-360-013 — La Quinta, CA LCI Report No. LP18112
Building Pad Preparation: The existing surface soil within the proposed building pad should be
removed to 18 inches below the lowest foundation grade or 36 inches below the original grade
(whichever is deeper), extending five feet beyond all exterior wall/column lines (including
adjacent concrete areas). Exposed sub -grade should be scarified to a depth of 8 inches, uniformly
moisture conditioned to at least 2% over optimum moisture content and re -compacted a minimum
of 90% of the maximum density determined in accordance with ASTM D 15 57 methods.
The native granular soil is suitable for use as compacted fill and utility trench backfill. The native
soil should be placed in maximum 8 inches lifts (loose), uniformly moisture conditioned to at least
2% of optimum moisture content, and re -compacted to a minimmm of 90% of the maximum
density determined in accordance with ASTM D1557 methods.
Imported fill soil (if needed) should similar to onsite soil or non -expansive, granular soil meeting
the USCS classifications of SM, SP-SM, or SW-SM with a maximum rock size of 3 inches. The
geotechnical engineer should approve imported fill soil sources before hauling material to the site.
Imported granular fill should be placed in lifts no greater than 8 inches in loose thickness,
uniformly moisture conditioned to at least 2% over optimum moisture content, and re -compacted
to a minimum of 90% of the maximum density determined in accordance with ASTM D1557
methods.
In areas other than the house pad which are to receive concrete slabs and pavements, the ground
surface should be over -excavated to a depth of 18 inches, uniformly moisture conditioned to at
least 2% over optimum moisture content, and re -compacted to a minimum of 90% of the
maximum density determined in accordance with ASTM D 15 57 methods
Soil Bearing Values and Lateral Loads
The subsurface soils consist of sand with some gravel to maximum penetrated. An allowable soil
bearing pressure of 1,800 psf could be used. Passive resistance of lateral earth pressure may be
calculated using an equivalent fluid pressure of 350 pcf to resist lateral loadings. The top one foot
of embedment should not be considered in computing passive resistance unless the adjacent area is
confined by a slab or pavement. An allowable friction coefficient of 0.4 may also be used at the
base of the footings to resist lateral loading. Static earth pressure equivalent to that exerted by a
fluid weighing 35 pcf for unrestrained (active) conditions and 50 pcf for restrained (at -rest)
conditions.
LandMark Consultants, Inc. Page 7
APN 773-360-013 — La Quinta, CA LCI Report No. LP18112
Foundation
All exterior and interior foundations should be embedded a minimum of 12 inches deep.
Continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of 12 inches. Spread footings should
have a minimum width of 24 inches and should not be structurally isolated. Recommended
concrete reinforcement and sizing for all footings should be provided by the structural engineer.
Slabs -on -Grade
Concrete slabs and flatwork should be a minimum of 4 inches thick. The concrete floor slabs may
either be monolithically placed with the foundation or dowelled after footing placement. The
concrete slabs may be placed on granular subgrade that has been compacted at least 90% relative
compaction (ASTM D1557). Slab thickness and steel reinforcement should be determined by
the design engineer.
American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines (ACI 302.IR-04 Chapter 3, Section 3.2.3) provide
recommendations regarding the use of moisture barriers beneath concrete slabs. The concrete
floor slabs should be underlain by a 10-mil polyethylene vapor retarder that works as a capillary
break to reduce moisture migration into the slab section. All laps and seams should be overlapped
6-inches or as recommended by the manufacturer. The vapor retarder should be protected from
puncture. The joints and penetrations should be sealed with the manufacturer's recommended
adhesive, pressure -sensitive tape, or both. The vapor retarder should extend a minimum of 12
inches into the footing excavations. The vapor retarder should be covered by 4 inches of clean
sand (Sand Equivalent SE>30) unless placed on 2.5 feet of granular fill, in which case, the vapor
retarder may lie directly on the granular fill with 2 inches of clean sand cover.
Placing sand over the vapor retarder may increase moisture transmission through the slab, because
it provides a reservoir for bleed water from the concrete to collect. The sand placed over the vapor
retarder may also move and mound prior to concrete placement, resulting in an irregular slab
thickness. For areas with moisture sensitive flooring materials, ACI recommends that concrete
slabs be placed without a sand cover directly over the vapor retarder, provided that the concrete
mix uses a low-water cement ratio and concrete curing methods are employed to compensate for
release of bleed water through the top of the slab. The vapor retarder should have a minimum
thickness of 15-mil (Stego-Wrap or equivalent).
LandMark Consultants, Inc. Page 8
APN 773-360-013 — La Quinta, CA LCI Report No. LP18112
Control joints should be provided in all concrete slabs -on -grade at a maximum spacing (in feet) of
2 to 3 times the slab thickness (in inches) as recommended by American Concrete Institute (ACI)
guidelines. All joints should form approximately square patterns to reduce randomly oriented
contraction cracks. Contraction joints in the slabs should be tooled at the time of the pour or
sawcut (114 of slab depth) within 6 to 8 hours of concrete placement. Construction (cold) joints in
foundations and area flatwork should either be thickened butt joints with dowels or a thickened
keyed joint designed to resist vertical deflection at the joint. All joints in flatwork should be
sealed to prevent moisture, vermin, or foreign material intrusion. Precautions should be taken to
prevent curling of slabs in this and desert region (refer to ACI guidelines).
All independent concrete flatworks should be underlain by 12 inches of moisture conditioned and
compacted soils. All flatwork should be jointed in square patterns and at irregularities in shape at
a maximum spacing of 10 feet or the least width of the sidewalk.
Concrete Mixes and Corrosivity
Selected chemical analyses for corrosivity were conducted on bulk samples of the near surface soil
from the project site (Plate C-2). The native soils have low levels of sulfate and chloride ion
concentrations. Resistivity determinations on the soil indicate a severe potential for metal loss
because of electrochemical corrosion processes.
A minimum of 2,500 psi concrete of Type II Portland Cement with a maximum water/cement ratio
of 0.60 (by weight) should be used for concrete placed in contact with native soil on this project
(sitework including streets, sidewalks, driveways, patios, and other wall foundations). Landmark
does not practice corrosion engineering. We recommend that a qualified corrosion engineer
evaluate the corrosion potential on metal construction materials and concrete at the site.
Observation and Density Testing
Site preparation and fill placement should be continuously observed and tested by a representative
of a qualified geotechnical engineering firm. Near full-time observation services during the
excavation and scarification process is necessary to detect undesirable materials or conditions and
soft areas that may be encountered in the construction area. The geotechnical firm that provides
observation and testing during construction shall assume the responsibility of "geotechnical
engineer of record" and, as such, shall perform additional tests and investigation as necessary to
satisfy themselves as to the site conditions and the recommendations for site development.

EXPLANATION
Fault traces on lend are indicated by solid lines where well located, by dashed lines where approximately
located or Inferred, and by dolled lines where concealed byymngwrmks a by lakes or bays Foultmices
are quarted where continuation or existence is uncertain Concealed faults in the Great Valley are based on
maps of selected subsurface horizons, so locations shown are approximate and may Indicate structural
brand only Al ogshore faults based on seismic reflection profile records are shown as solid lines where well
defined, dashed where Inferred, queued whore uncertain.
FAULT CLASSIFICATION COLOR CODE
(Indicating Recency of Movement)
' Fault along which historic (lest 200 years) displacement has occurred and is associated with one or more
of the following:
(a) a recorded earthquake with surface mplure (Also Included ere some well-defined surface breaks
used by ground shaking during earth Wakes, e g extensive ground breakage, not on the White Wok
fault, caused by the AMr,Tehachepl earthquake of 1952) The dale of the associated earthquake is
indicated Where repeated surface ruptures on the same fault have occurred, only the date of the latest
movement may be indicated, especially hearller reports are not well documented as to location of ground
breaks
(b) fault creep slippage - slow ground displacement usually without accompanying earthquakes
(c) displaced survey tins
A triangle to the right or left of the dale indicates termination point of observed surface displacement Solid
red Idengle indicates known location ofrupture lamination point Open blecklrlangle indicates uncertain or
estimated location of mplure lamination point
e iri Date bracketed by triangles indicates local fault break
No triangle by dale indicates an Intermediate point along fault break

Holocene Paull dlspiri. nl (during past 11,700 years) without historic record Geomorphic evidence for
Holocene faulting includes sag ponds, scarps showing little erosion, or the following features In Holocene
age deposits: offset stream courses, linear scarps, shutter ridges, and triangular faceted spurs. Recency
of faulting offshore is based on the interpreted age of vie youngest strata displaced by faulting
Let. Ouelernary fault displacement (during pest 700,000 years). Geomorphic evidence similar to that
described for Holocene %oils except features are less distinct Faulting may be younger, but lack of
younger overlying deposits precludes more accurate age classification
-- .....s. Quaternary fault (age undifferentiated) Most faults oflhis category show evidence of displacement some-
time during the pest 1 6 mllllm years; possible exceptions are faults which displace rocks of undifferenfi-

SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS SUBJECT TO INUNDATION
BY THE 1% ANNUAL CHANCE FLOOD
The 1% annual flood (100-year flood), also known as the base flood, is the flood that has a 1%
chance of being equaled or exceeded in any grven year, The Specal Flood Hazard Area is the
area subject to flooding by the 1% annual chance flood. Areas of Special Flood Hazard Include
Zones A, AE, Ali, AO, AR, A99, V, and VE. The Base Flood Elevation is the water -surface
elevation of the 1% annual chance flood.
ZONE A No Base Flood Elevations determined.
ZONE AE Base Flood Elevations determined.
ZONE AH Flood depths of 1 to 3 feet (usually areas of ponding); Base Flood
Elevations determined.
ZONE AO Flood depths of I to 3 feet (usually sheet flow on sloping terrain); average
depths determined. For areas of alluvial fan flooding, velocities also
determined.
ZONE AR Special Flood Hazard Area formerly protected from the 1% annual chance
flood by a flood control system that was subsequently decertified. Zone AR
indicates that the former flood control system is being restored to provide
protection from the 1% annual chance or greater flood,
ZONE A99 Area to be protected from L% annual chance flood by a Federal flood
protection system under construction; no Base Flood Elevations
determined.
ZONE V Coastal flood zone with velocity hazard (wave action); no Base Flood
Elevations determined.
ZONE VE Coastal flood zone with velocity hazard (wave action); Base Flood
Elevations determined.
FLOODWAV AREAS IN ZONE AE
The floodway Is the channel of a stream plus any adjacent floodplain areas that must be, kept free
of encroachment so Lhal the 1% annual chance flood can be carried without substantial increases
in flood heights.
OTHER FLOOD AREAS
ZONE X Arms of 0.2% annual chance flood; areas of 1% annual chance flood with
average depths of less than 1 foot or with drainage areas less than
1 square mile; and areas protected by levees from 1% annual chance flood.
OTHER AREAS
ZONE X Areas determined to be outside the 0.2% annual chance l"plain.
ZONE D Areas in which flood hazards are undetermined, but possible.
® COASTAL BARRIER RESOURCES SYSTEM (CBRS) AREAS
