California. Build out Lot 94 remains to be completed at a later date.
Previous Site Grading
Earth Systems Southwest (ESSW) provided intermittent observation and testing during rough grading of
Tract 30092, which started on January 17, 2005 and reportedly ended on April 7, 2005 (ESSW, 2005). Prior
to grading the site consisted of vacant land with sparse to heavy desert vegetation. The site was moisture -
conditioned prior to clearing vegetation. Following clearing, the lots were over -excavated to a depth of
2 feet below footings or 3 feet below finish pad, whichever was greater, and the exposed surface was
processed by either moistening or drying of soils and compacting to a minimum of 90 percent to a depth of
12 inches. Fill materials, consisting of onsite and import soils, were then placed in thin lifts, moisture -
conditioned, and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. Areas not meeting 90 percent
compaction were reworked and retested. Based upon intermittent observations and testing during grading
operation from January 17 through April 7, 2005 on this project, it was ESSW's opinion that the grading
had met the intent of the recommendations of the referenced geotechnical engineering report, as well as the
grading ordinances of the City of La Quinta.
Petra had previously reviewed the reported compaction test results provided in the ESSW final report and
it appears that all failing tests were retested and reported to achieve a minimum 90 percent relative
compaction, although elevations of the retests were not provided and the description of the compaction test
locations were not identified by lot number. What appears to be removal bottom tests were not identified

with elevations, therefore it was difficult to confirm the total amount of fill underlying each lot. Finish
grade tests were listed for 22 locations of the 97 lots within the overall tract. Based on the five compaction
maps, no compaction tests were plotted on 16 of the 97 lots and only the bottom removal tests are plotted
on 14 lots. Assuming that the recommended overexcavation depth of 3 feet below finish pad grade was
completed, 8 lots may have 3 feet or more fill without compaction tests reported, and 8 lots with between
2 and 3 feet of fill without compaction tests reported, although tests are generally present on the adjacent
lots.
Based on Google Earth aerial photographs, earthwork appears to have continued within the site after the
July 11, 2005 date of the ESSW report. An aerial photograph dated Januaryl6, 2006 depicted what appeared
to be earthwork activities throughout the subject lots and what appeared to be import trucks within Lots 30
through 41. Additionally, hummocky surfaces visible on Lots 5 through 14 appears to be end -dumped
stockpiled soils covering the lots. For comparison purposes, a 2006 USDA color aerial depicts active
watering of the subject pads and end -dumps soils on the pad surfaces of subject Lots 6 through 10 and
possibly on subject Lots 25 through 29. Lastly, what appears to be a depression on subject Lot 41 suggests
an abandoned well excavation. Presumably, all the additional earthwork that was eventually competed was
observed and tested by ESSW, however no additional reports or data was available to substantiate this.
Prior Supplemental Geotechnical Assessment
As a result of the lack of comprehensive documentation of final grading and compaction testing, Petra
conducted a field assessment of existing as -graded conditions within the subject lots, using both hollow -
stem auger borings and Cone Penetration Test (CPT) soundings (Petra, 2021 a). Petra conducted an initial
field exploration on March 17, 2021 to evaluate the natural subsurface soils, assess groundwater depths and
liquefaction potential which included the three test soundings. Subsequently, Petra returned to the subject
site to drill, log, and sample 15 hollow -stem auger borings on March 23, 2021 to evaluate the quality of the
previously placed fill and the native soils supporting the fill.
CPT soundings were completed to a depth of 65 feet below the ground surface (bgs). Seismic shear wave
velocities were measured in one CPT at five-foot intervals and the groundwater depth was measured in one
CPT. Hollow stem auger borings were drilled and sampled to a maximum depth of approximately 9.5 feet
below existing grades. Relatively undisturbed ring and disturbed, representative bulk samples of soil were
collected from the geotechnical borings for laboratory testing.

Laboratory testing was performed on various representative samples collected from the drill rig locations
for classification and engineering analysis purposes. Testing includes in -situ dry density and moisture
content, maximum density and optimum moisture content, expansion potential, and soil corrosivity.
Based on our observations and sampling conducted from the 15 exploratory hollow -stem auger borings,
sufficient removals appear to have been performed within the site during the previous remedial grading
operations. The compacted fills encountered within our borings were found to be supported by medium
dense natural alluvium.
Based on our review of the original site topography, finish pad grades and assumed remedial removal depths
recommended by ESSW (2004), we anticipated approximately 3 feet of compacted fills to support the
subject building pads. Following our 15 borings, we observed the subject lots to be mostly supported by
fills on the order of 2.5 to 4 feet in thickness, very close to the prior assumptions. Based on the hollow -stem
auger drill rig sampler blow counts, visual observations of the samples obtained during drilling and a
comparison of the drive sample data, the in -place engineered fill materials at the 15 total borings
(approximately one per every 4 lots) were observed to be sufficiently well compacted. However, the upper
2 feet of building pad soils are very dry and somewhat desiccated with the passage of time
(i.e., approximately 16 years since grading was completed).
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Overall Site Suitability
Based on the current design, as -graded conditions and our current involvement with the project, the
proposed residential construction within the project site is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint if
accomplished in accordance with the City of La Quinta requirements and our following recommendations.
Based on the result of our 2021 field borings and laboratory testing, fill soils within the subject building
pads had been subject to erosion and slight desiccation, loss of moisture and surficial compaction. In
addition, the existing fills were found to be well dry of optimum moisture content in the upper
approximately 2 feet of the building pad surfaces. To reduce the potential for settlement, we recommended
that the upper 2 feet of fill materials within the building pads (encompassing an area 5 feet outside of
building footprint) be moisture -conditioned and re -compacted prior to footing excavation. This could be
accomplished by removal of the upper 12 inches, followed by thorough scarifying, moisture -conditioning
and re -compacting 12 inches of the exposed bottom prior to re -placement of engineered fill to achieve
proposed pad grade.

Remedial Grading and Lot Re -Conditioning
Remedial grading of the subject lots was conducted in late April 2024. The subject building pads were first
cleared of any vegetation prior to overexcavation of the upper approximately 12 inches of existing pad
grade soils. The exposed excavation bottom was then scarified to a depth of approximately 12 inches,
moisture -conditioned to slightly above optimum conditions and then re -compacted in -place to 90 percent
or more relative compaction prior to re -placement of fill to restore the finish pad grades. A representative
from Petra observed site conditions and tested the processed excavation bottoms and the engineered fill
placement within the building pads to verify 90 percent or more relative compaction at slightly above
optimum moisture content between April 22 and 26, 2024.
Field Density Testing
During the remedial grading, field density tests were performed on the subject lots nuclear gauge test
method ASTM D 6938. Test results are listed in the attached Field Density Test Results, Table 1. The
compacted building pad soils were tested at the time of remedial grading to determine moisture content, in -
situ density and relative compaction. Relative compaction was calculated based on the laboratory maximum
density deemed to be appropriate for the soil conditions. Visual classification of earth materials in the field
was the basis for determining which maximum density value was applicable for a given density test in soil
materials.
Laboratory Testing
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the predominant soil type
encountered during building pad re -conditioning were determined by ESSW and/or by Petra in accordance
with ASTM D 1557.
Lot Suitability
Based on Petra's field density testing and review of site conditions, the subject building pads are deemed
suitable for their intended use provide the moisture content is maintained at or slight above optimum
moisture content during footing excavation. Foundation design recommendations presented in the
referenced reports remain applicable (Petra, 2021 c).
