Fill will be compacted to the following minimum relative compaction criteria: • Backfill will be placed in maximum 12-inch loose lifts and compacted before the next lift is placed. • Compaction will be completed using a sheep's foot attachment to the excavating Equipment and/or sheep foot roll compactor • Fill Slopes will not exceed 2:1 • Backfill will be from an offsite approved borrow source • Field Observations, Special Inspection and Testing - this will be completed by Salem Engineering Group (Attachment G). o Soil Compaction Testing - Measure the compaction of fill soils for compliance to recommended minimum percentages in roadways, trenches, and other backfilled areas utilizing the nuclear gage or tube method of testing. Perform compaction testing of aggregate base material in paved areas. o Laboratory Testing - The laboratory -testing program would incorporate physical tests for the determination of soil moisture, density, and compressive strength. In -Situ Moisture and Density tests will likely be conducted o Compaction and Special Inspection Reports - At the completion -of the grading operations, a final report will be submitted. The report will document all our field and laboratory activities, including field observation and compaction testing. The report would be prepared and signed by a California Licensed Civil Engineer. • Site restoration will include: o Erosion control - hydro seed o Rock slope protection (Light, Method B) o Rock slope protection fabric The Site will be bladed and restored with existing materials such that the finished topography conforms to the pre -construction topography and the ground surface is clean and free of debris, is graded to a smooth surface free of depressions ("birdbaths"), and drains to the existing drainage system. Construction Management The Construction Manager will supervise and inspect daily field work, and will prepare daily field reports to document progress made, change conditions, nonconformance work, and any other issues that impact the project. Field records will be managed in accordance with the Construction Quality Checklist and will be used to support the development of other project deliverables. The CH2M HILL Construction Manager's goal is to execute this project in a manner that reduces cost and schedule by delivering greater performance and efficiencies. Budget Summary CH2M HILL's budget estimate for this scope of work is provided in Table 1. CH2M HILL labor and expense rates have previously been submitted to the City. The proposed budget will not be exceeded without prior written authorization from the City. In the event that unanticipated circumstances arise that increase the needed level of effort or require additional cost, CH2M HILL may require a scope amendment and additional funding. CH2M HILL may solicit competitive bids for portions of the project that have been categorized as Construction. Our proposal includes the best -value selections for the excavation and disposal category. However if a reasonable bid may be obtained by a sole source selection based on past relationships with CH2M HILL approved subcontractors, this approach may assist in reducing schedule and project costs. CH2M HILL has utilized Innovative Construction Solutions (ICS) for dozens of projects both large and small over the last 5 years and the quality of their work, safety record, and competitive pricing -has resulted in many successful projects. CH2M HILL is considering utilizing ICS for the Rudnick Road construction.

Attachment C Technical Memorandum Drainage Study Technical Memorandum Drainage Study for County .of Kern Rudnick Road Culvert Placement Kelso Valley, CA July 2011 CH2MHILL Purpose The purpose of this technical memorandum (TM) is to summarize the criteria, assumptions, and calculations for sizing a new culvert where the existing Rudnick Road crosses a natural drainage channel. The site is located on the northern edge of Assessor's Parcel No. 444-060- 03 controlled by the City of Vernon in the Kelso Valley area of Kern County, California. The existing unpaved Rudnick Road will be excavated and reconstructed with a new culvert. Vegetation and growth outside of the roadway consists of sparse trees, brushes and shrubs. The calculations presented in this memorandum are based on available survey provided by Critigen, which includes Lidar taken in May 2009 and field survey taken in June 2011. Horizontal datum is based on NAD 83, Zone 5 and vertical datum is based on NAND 88. Drainage Criteria and Assumptions The culvert is designed to convey the runoff from a 100-year recurrence interval without overtopping the road and to maintain a headwater elevation for a 10-year recurrence interval below the top of the pipe in accordance with Kern County standards. The proposed culvert diameter is 48 inches corrugated steel. pipe with projecting end inlet and outlet. Minimum 3-feet of cover shall be maintained over the culvert. In order to match existing channel invert elevations and road -grades the culvert will have over 3-feet of cover. Hydrology Existing topographic information was used to delineate one-118-acre basin whose storm runoff impacts the proposed access road. Refer to the attached Rudnick Road Drainage Basin Map. There is an existing low water crossing that will remain in place approximately 400 feet to the west of the proposed culvert location. In accordance with the Kern County Hydrology Manual, storm water runoff design flows were estimated using the Rational Method, which calculates peak discharge for basins less than 640 acres in size. Refer to the attached hydrology calculations. Culvert Hydraulics The culvert is designed to provide the necessary hydraulic capacity based on design flows as summarized above to pass the runoff from a 100-year storm event without overtopping the road. Refer to the attached FHWA software version 7.2, HY8 report. Scour Protection Rock slope protection will be installed at the inlet and outlet of culvert to prevent localized scouring. The rock slope protection pad will be 6 times the diameter in length and 3 times the diameter in width. Two additional feet of the length will overlap the culvert and the top of the pad will match the existing channel grade. Rock slope protection sizing is based on California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual and Shore Protection Manual. Temporary Erosion Control The contractor is responsible for implementing and maintaining erosion and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction in accordance with all local and state agency requirements. The BMPs shall be constructed and properly maintained at all times until permanent vegetation is fully established. neer's Statement These drainage calculations have been prepared by or under the supervision of the following registered Civil Engineer.

Discussions regarding site conditions are presented herein, together with conclusions and recommendations pertaining to site preparation, Engineered Fill, utility trench backfll, drainage and landscaping, retaining walls, soil liquefaction,. slope stability, and pavement design. The - locations of the borings are shown on the Site Plan, Figures 1A through 1D. The scope of our services for this investigation does not include slope stability evaluation beyond the access mad area. The results of the field exploration and laboratory test data are included in Appendix "A". General Earthwork / Pavement Specifications are presented in Appendix "B". If conflicts in the text of the report occur with the specifications in the appendices, the xecommendations in the text of the report have precedence. 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The existing access road is unpaved and approximately 4,370 feet long and 15 to 24 feet wide with cut slope on one side and fill slope on the other side. The maximum cut slope is approximately "10 feet high with a slope ratio of 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter. The maximum fill slope is approximately 10 feet high with a maximum slope ratio of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical). We understand that the access road was constructed at an unknown time and is currently being used to provide access to portions of the land around Weldon Estate in the area of Monarch Mine. The year of construction, construction methods, and geotechnical considerations at the time of construction are not known regarding the access road. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the existing subsurface conditions encountered relating to the construction of cut/fill slopes, structural integrity of the existing slopes and provide slope stability analysis. The scope of our investigation includes a program of field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis and preparation of a final report. The scope of our services for this investigation does not include slope stability evaluation of any slopes beyond the existing access road. 2321 Perseus Court • Bakersfield, CA 93308 • (661) 393-9711 0 Fax (661) 393-9710 3.0 SITE LOCATIONS AND DESCRIPTION The site is located on the northern edge of Assessors Parcel No. 444-060-03 owned by the City of Vernon in the Onyx Ranch area of the County of Kern, California. The road is a typical hillside access dirt road with minor cuts and fills along the edges of the road. Vegetation growths beyond the roadway consist of sparse trees, bushes and shrubs. Occasional erosions, washed gullies and shallow slope failures are present along the slopes. 4.0 GEOLOGIC/SEISMIC CONDITIONS The existing access road is located in a hilly terrain in Onyx Ranch area of the County of Kern which is a topographic and structural basin that is bounded on the east by the Sierra Nevada and on the west by the Coast Ranges. The Sierra Nevada, a fault block dipping gently southwestward, is composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks of pre -Tertiary age that comprise the basement complex beneath the surfiaal soil. The Coast Ranges contain folded and faulted sedimentary rocks of Mesozoic and Cenozoic age, which are similar to those rocks that underlie the Valley at depth and non -conformably overlie the basement complex; gently dipping to nearly horizontal sedimentary rocks of Tertiary and Quaternary age overlie the older rocks. These younger rocks are mostly of continental origin and in the Bakersfield area; they were derived from the Sierra Nevada. The Coast Ranges evolved as a result of folding, faulting and accretion of diverse geologic terrains. They are composed chiefly of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks that are sharply deformed into complex structures. They are broken by numerous faults, the San Andreas Fault being the most notable feature; As exposed on the surface and as observed in -the exploratory borings, the bedrock consists of generally massive to poorly bedded sandstone of light -gray to tan, thin bedded, semi -siliceous to day shale, and fish scales. Deposits encountered on the subject site during exploratory drilling -are discussed in detail in this report. The area in consideration shows no mapped faults on -site according to maps prepared by the California Division of Mines and Geology (now known as the California Geologic Survey) and published by the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO). The project site is not located within a State of Califomis Earthquake Fault Zone. Soils on site are classified as Site Class C in accordance with Chapter 16 of the California Building Code. 5.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the subsurface conditions encountered during field exploration and to provide geotechnical engineering recommendations for site preparation, earthwork procedures, slope construction, and retaining wall design parameters. The scope of our investigation included a program of field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis and preparation of this report. 6.0 FIELD EXPLORATION Our Geld exploration consisted of site surface reconnaissance and subsurface exploration. The exploratory test borings (B-1 through B-4) were drilled on September 24, 2010 within the existing access road area at the approximate locations shown on Figures 1A through 1D, Site Plan. The lest borings were advanced with a 6'/a-inch diameter auger rotated by a truck -mounted CME-45 drill rig. The test borings were extended to depths ranging from 6 to 10 feet below the existing grade. Job No. 2.210-00599 2 ® Engineering Group, Inc. The materials encountered in the test borings were visually classified in the field, and logs were recorded by a Professional Engineer at that time. Visual classification of the materials encountered in the test borings was generally made in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D2487). A soil classification chart and key to sampling is presented on the Unified Soil Classification Chart, in Appendix "A". The logs of the test borings are presented in Appendix "A". Subsurface soil samples were obtained by driving a Modified California sampler. Penetration resistance blow counts were obtained by dropping a 140-pound hammer through a 30-inch free fall to drive the sampler to a maximum depth of 18 inches. The number of blows required to drive the last 12 inches is recorded as Penetration Resistance (blows/foot) on the logs of borings. Soil samples were obtained from the test borings at the depths shown on the logs of borings. The samples were recovered and capped at both ends to preserve the samples at their natural moisture content. At the completion of drilling and sampling, the test borings were b2ckfilled with drill cuttings. 7.0 LABORATORY TESTING Laboratory tests were performed on selected soil samples to evaluate their physical characteristics and engineering properties. The laboratory testing program was formulated with emphasis on the evaluation of natural moisture, density, shear strength, expansion and consolidation potential, and gradation of the materials encountered_ Details of the laboratory test program and the results of laboratory test are summarized in Appendix "A". This information, along with the field observations, was used to prepare the final boring logs in Appendix "A" 8.0 SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS Based on our findings, the subsurface conditions encountered appear typical of those found in the geologic region of the site. In general, the soils within the depth of exploration consist of 1 to 2 feel of loose surfitial soil underlain by dense soil and sandstone bedrock. Field and laboratory tests suggest that the deeper soil and bedrocks are moderately strong and slightly compressible. These soils extended to the termination depth of our borings. For a more detailed description of the materials encountered, the Boring Logs in Appendix "A" should be consulted. The soils were classified in the field during the drilling and sampling operations. The stratification lines were approximated by the field engineer on the basis of observations made at the time of drilling. The actual boundaries between different soil types may be gradual and soil conditions may vary. For a more detailed description of the materials encountered, the Boring Logs (Figures A-1 through A-4, in Appendix "A') should be consulted. The Boring Logs include the soil type, color, moisture content, dry density, and the applicable Unified Soil Classification System symbol. The locations of the test borings were determined by measuring from features shown on the Site Plan, provided to us. Hence, accuracy can be implied only to the degree that this method warrants. Job No. 2.210.00599 3 ® Engineering Group, Inc. Test boring locations were checked for the presence of groundwater during and after the drilling operations. Free groundwater was not encountered during this time of investigation. It should be recognized that water table elevations may fluctuate with time, being dependent upon seasonal precipitation, irrigation, land use, and climatic conditions as well as other factors. Therefore, water )eve] observations at the time of the field investigation may vary from those encountered during the construction phase of the project. The evaluation of such factors is beyond the scope of this report. 9.0 SOIL LIQUEFACTION AND SEISMIC SETTLEMENT Soil liquefaction is a state of soil particles suspension caused by a compete loss of strength when the effective stress drops to zero. Liquefaction normally occurs under saturated conditions in soils such as sand in which the strength is purely frictional. However, liquefaction has occurred in soils other than clean sand. Liquefaction usually occurs under vibratory conditions such as those induced by seismic events. To evaluate the liquefaction potential of the site, the following items were evaluated: ❑ Soil type ❑ Groundwater depth ❑ Relative density ❑ Initial confining pressure ❑ Intensity and duration of groundsh"g The sollbeneath the site consists of dense to very dense sandstone. Groundwater is expected to be at a depth of greater than 50 feet. The potential for liquefaction is considered to be low based on the relatively dense materials and the absence of shallow groundwater. 10.0 SLOPE STABILITY The gross stability analysis was performed using PCSTABLSM, a computer program developed at Purdue University. A random technique was used to search the critical surface with the lowest safety factor. AB searches were performed using the modified Bishop method. The slope stability was analyzed based on the typical grade condition for the 1:1 cut slope and 2:1 fill slope. The shear strength parameters were determined based on the laboratory test results. For the analyses, an internal friction angle of 33 degrees and -a cohesion of 100 psf were used for the fill slope and an internal friction angle of 30 degrees and a cohesion of 100 psf were used for the fill slope and. The results of the analyses are attached and the summary of die safery factor is as follows: Slope Condition FacfotofSafety 1:1 Cut Slop, 10 feet High 1.58 2:1 FLU Slop, 10 feet High 2.23 The results indicated that the local slopes are stable with a factor of safety greater than 1.5. The results of the slope stability analysis are presented in Appendix "A". Job No. 2-210-00599 4 � Engineering Group, Inc. 11.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon the data collected during this investigation, and from a geotechnical engineering standpoint, it is our opinion that the site is suitable for the current use provided that the recommendations presented herein are incorporated into the design and construction (if any). All grading and earthwork should be done in accordance with the Grading Ordinances of the County of Kern and the applicable portions of the General Earthwork / Pavement Specifications in Appendix "B", and the following provisions. The upper soils have a loose/soft consistency. In their current condition the existing cut/fill slopes should continue perform as intended but may require routine annual maintenance. These soils are disturbed, have low strength characteristics, and are highly compressible when saturated. Accordingly, it is recommended that prior to any new construction the upper loose soils be overexcavated and recompacred. This compaction effort should stabilize the surface soils and locate any unsuitable or pliant areas not found during our field investigation. Deeper loose soils if encountered during grading should also be overexcavated and recompacted. The scope of out services for the investigation does not include slope stability evaluation beyond the roadway (i.e. entire hillside). All retaining wall foundations should be founded in the undisturbed bedrocks or compacted fill to provide a uniform support for the retaining wall, if any. Difficult excavation is anticipated for deeper excavation due to the dense bedrock formation. Large earthmoving equipment or local blasting may be required to achieve the required depth. Fill slopes should not be constructed steeper than a gradient of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical). Cut slopes should not be constructed steeper than a gradient of 1:1 (horizontal to vertical). The maximum height of cut and fill slopes should not exceed 10 feet vertically. To reduce the erosion of graded slopes, it is recommended that all slopes be planted with ground cover vegetation and deep rooted vegetation as soon as practical. The proper maintenance of proper lot drainage and vegetation should be performed. Over -irrigation should be prevented. A rodent control program should be established and maintained. For slopes steeper than 2:1 (horizontal to vertical), the slope face should be covered with a material which Will retain soil particles and promote vegetative growth, and is then immediately mulched and seeded. Tensar Erosion Control Mat has been developed for these applications. A thin layer of topsoil on the erosion control material layer will greedy contribute to seeding success. Proper maintenance of drainage and vegetation should be performed. Irrigatipn of landscaping should be controlled to maintain a consistent moisture content sufficient to provide healthy plant growth without over watering. Positive surface drainage should be provided to direct surface water away from tops of slopes toward suitable drainage devices. Job No. 2-210-00599 5 ® Engineering Group, Inc. The shrinkage of recompacted soil and fill placement is estimated at 5 to 15 percent. This value is an estimate and may vary significantly depending on several items including soil conditions, compaction effort, weather, etc. Subsidence, below the Engineered Fill, is anticipated to be less than 0.01 feet, due to the recommended over -excavation. Detailed geotechnical engineering recommendations are presented in the remaining portions of the text. The recommendations are based on the properties of the materials identified during our investigation. 11.1 Groundwater InOuence on Structures/Construction Based on our findings and historical records, it is not anticipated that groundwater will rise within the zone of structural influence or affect the construction for the project. However, if earthwork is performed during or soon after periods of precipitation, the subgrade soils may become saturated, "pump," or not respond to densification techniques. Typical remedial measures include: discing and aerating the soil during city weather; mixing the soil with dryer materials; removing and replacing the soil with an approved fill material; or mixing the soil with an approved lime or cement product. Our firm should be consulted prior to implementing remedial measures to observe the unstable subgrade conditions and provide appropriate recommendations. 11.2 Site Preparation General site clearing should include removal of vegetation, organic materials, and existing utilities, structures, trees and associated root systems, rubble, rubbish, and any loose and/or saturated materials. Site stripping should extend to a minimum depth of 2 to 4 inches, or until all organics in excess of 3 percent by volume are removed. Deeper stripping.may be required in localized areas. These materials will not be suitable for reuse as Engineered Fill. However, stripped topsoil may be stockpiled and reused in landscape or non-structural areas with the approval of the owner and landscaper. Any excavations that result from clearing operations should be backfilled with Engineered Fill. Our field staff should be present during site clearing operations to enable us to locate areas where depressions or disturb soils are present and to allow our staff to observe and test the backfill as it is placed. If site clearing and backfilling operations occur without appropriate observation .and testing by a qualified geotechnical consultant, there may be the need to over -excavate the subject area to identify uncontrolled fills prior to mass grading. As with site clearing operations, any buried structures encountered during construction should be properly removed and backfilled. The resulting excavations should be baekfdled with Engineered Fill. 11.3 Wet Soil Treatment for Earthwork Construction The upper soils, during wet winter months or due to prolonged watering, may -become very moist due to the absorption characteristics of the soil. Earthwork operations may encounter very moist unstable soils which may require removal to a stable bottom. The wet soils may become non conducive to site grading as the upper soils yield under the weight of the construction equipment. Therefore, mitigation measures should be performed for stabilization. Jab No. 2-210-00599 6 ® Engineering Group, Inc. Typical remedial measures include: discing and aerating the soil during dry weather; mixing the soil with dryer materials; removing and replacing the soil with an approved fill material or placement of crushed rocks or Aggregate base material; or mixing the soil with an approved lime or cement product. Our firm should be consulted prior to implementing remedial measures to provide appropriate recommendations. The most common remedial measure of stabilizing the bottom of the excavation due to wet soil condition is to reduce the moisture of the soil to near the optimum moisture content by having the subgrade soils scarified and aerated or mixed with drier soils prior to compacting. However, the drlring process may require an extended period of time and delay the construction operation. To expedite the stabilizing process, crushed rock may be utilized for stabilization provided this method is approved by the owner for the cost purpose. If the use of crushed rock is considered, it is recommended that the upper soft and wet soils be replaced by 6 to 24 inches of/4-inch to 1-inch crushed rocks. The thickness of the rock layer depends on the severity of the soil instability. The recommended 6 to 24 inches of crushed rock material will provide a stable platform. It is further recommended that lighter compaction equipments be utilized for compacting the crushed rock. A layer of geofabric is recommended to be placed on lop of the compacted crushed rock to minimize migration of soil particles into the voids of the crushed rock, resulting in soil movement. Although it is not required, the use of geogrid (e.g. Tensar BX 1100 or TX 140) below the crushed rock will enhance stability and reduce the required thickness of crushed rock necessary for stabilization. IIA Slope Construction and Maintenance The slopes should be constructed in accordance with the typical figures and details as shown in the General Earthwork / Pavement Specifications, Appendix "B" (i.e. Stabilization Fill, Buttress Fill, Daylight Shear key, Shear Key, Fill Slope above Natural Ground, Fill Slope Above Cut Slope, Backdrain, Geofabric Subdrain, Benching for Compacted Fill, Rock Disposal, Canyon Subdrain and Transition Lot). Where fill slopes are to be constructed on original ground that slopes steeper than 6:1 (horizontal to vertical), the ground should be stepped or benched. The benches should be cut into the dense slope as the grading operations proceed. The first bench (base or key bench) should be at least 15 feet wide. Each bench should consist of a minimum g feet wide of level terrace, with the rise to the next bench held for 4 feet or less. All cut and..fill-slopes should be landscaped immediately with erosion, drought and fire resistant plants approved for hillsides. Rodent control and slope maintenance should be instituted on an slopes. To reduce the erosion of graded slopes, it is recommended that all slopes be planted with ground cover vegetation and deep rooted vegetation as soon as practical. Proper maintenance of lot drainage and vegetation should be performed. Irrigation of landscaping should be controlled to maintain a consistent moisture content sufficient to provide healthy plant growth without over watering. A rodent control program should be established and maintained. Trenched excavated on a graded slope face for utility or irrigation lines or for any purpose should be backfilted with compacted fill. The fill should be compacted to at least 92 percent of the maximum dry densiry as determined by ASTM D 1557-07. Job No. 2.210-00599 ® Engineering Group, Inc. The graded pad should have a gradient of at least 2 percent away from slopes and structures. Soil berms should be provided at the crests of descending slopes. 11.5 Fill Placement nod Compaction The upper organic -free, on -site, native soils are predominately silty sand. These soils will be suitable for reuse as non -expansive Engineered Fill, provided they are cleansed of excessive organics, debris and rocks over 3 inches in size. 19te preferred materials specified for engineered fill are suitable for most applications with the exception of exposure to erosion. Project site winterization and protection of exposed soils during the construction phase should be the sole responsibility of the Contractor, since he has complete control of the project site. Imported non -expansive non -corrosive fill should consist of a well -graded, slightly cohesive silty 6ne sand or sandy silt, with relatively impervious characteristics when compacted. This material should be approved by the Engineer prior to use and should typically possess the following characteristics: Maximum Percent Passing No. 200 Sieve 50 Minimum Percent Passing No. 200 Sieve . 15 ,Maximum Particle Size 3 inches Maximum Plasticity Index 12 Maximum U13C Standard 29-2 Expansion Index 20 Prior to placement of fill soils, the upper 8 inches of native subgrade soils should be scarified, moisture - conditioned to near the optimum moisture content, and recompacted to a minimum of 92 percent of the maximum dry density based on ASTM D1557.07 Test Method. Fill soils should be placed in lifts approximately 6 inches thick, moisture -conditioned to near the optimum moisture content (±26/o) for granular soils and compacted to achieve at last 92 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D1557-07. Additional lifts should not be placed if the previous lift did not meet the required dry density or if soil conditions are not stable. 1L6 Surface Drainage Control The ground surface should slope away from footings and pavement areas toward appropriate drop inlets or other surface drainage devices. It is recommended that adjacent exterior grades be sloped a minimum of 2 percent for a minimum distance of 5 feet away from structures. Subgrade soils in pavement areas should be sloped a minimum of 1 percent and drainage gradients maintained to arty all surface water to collection facilities and off site. These grades should be maintained for the life of the project. Roof drains should be installed with appropriate downspout extensions out -falling on splash blocks so as to direct water a minimum of 5 feet sway from the structures or be connected to the storm drain system for the development. Job No. 2-210-00599 $ Engineering Group, Inc. 11.7 Temporary Excavation Stability Temporary excavations planned for the construction may be excavated, according to the accepted engineering Practice following Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards by a contractor experienced in such work. Open, unbraced excavations in undisturbed soils should be made according to the table below. Recommended Excavation Slopes Depth of Excavation (ft) Slope (Horizontal:Verdcan 0-5 5-10 2.5:1 If, due to space limitation, excavations near existing structures tie performed in a vertical position, braced shorings or shields may be used for supporting vertical excavations. Therefore, in order to comply with the local and state safety regulations, a properly designed and installed shoring system would be required to accomplish planned excavations and installation. A Specialty Shoring Contractor should be responsible for the design and installation of such a shoring system during construction. Braced shorings should be designed for a maximum pressure distribution of 30H, (whm H it the depth of the exravarion in feet). The foregoing does not include excess hydrostatic pressure or surcharge loading. Fifty percent of any surcharge load, such as construction equipment weight, should be added to the lateral load given herein. Equipment traffic .should concurrently be limited to an area at least 5 feet from the shoring face or edge of the slope. The excavation and shoring recommendations provided herein are based on soil characteristics derived from the test borings within the area. Variations in soil conditions will likely be encountered during the excavations. SALEM Engineering Group, Inc. should be afforded the opportunity to provide field review to evaluate the actual conditions and account for field condition variations not otherwise anticipated in the preparation of this recommendation. Slope height, slope inclination, or excavation depth should in no case exceed those specified in local, state, or federal safety regulation, (e.g. OSHA) standards for excavations, 29 CFR part 1926, or Assessor's regulations. 11.8 Retaining Wall Design Retaining wall footings should be founded on fir, natural or compacted materials. The footing should have a minimum width of 15 inches and extend to a minimum depth of 18 inches below the lowest adjacent grade. Footing concrete should be placed into neat excavation. The bottom of footing excavations should be maintained free of loose and disturbed soil. The footing excavations should not be allowed to dry out any time prior to -pouring concrete. Footings constructed as recommended herein may be designed for the maximum bearing capacity shown below. Job No. 2.210-00599 9 ® Engineering Group, Inc. Load Allowable Loading Static Load 2,000 psf Total Load, Including Wind or Seismic Loads 2,660 psf Active, at -rest and passive unit lateral earth pressures against footings and walls are presented below: Lateral Pressure Conditions Equivalent Fluid Pressure — Level Backfrll pef Equivalent Fluid Pressure — 2:1 Bac1dI4 pcf Active Pressure, Drained 32 45 1 At -Rest Pressure, Drained I 53 1 55 R I Passive Pressure I 400 I 250 (sloping down) I Active pressure applies to walls, which are free to rotate. At -rest pressure applies to walls, which- are - restrained against rotation. The preceding lateral earth pressures assume sufficient drainage behind retaining walls to prevent the bugd-up of hydrostatic pressure. The top one -foot of adjacent sobgrade should be deleted from the, passive pressure computation. A coefficient of friction of 0.45 may be used between scil subgrade and footings. The foregoing values of lateral earth pressures and frictional coefficients represent ultimate soil values and a safety factor consistent with the design conditions should be included in their usage. For stability against lateral sliding, which is resisted solely by the passive pressure, we recommend a minimum safety factor of I.S. For stability against lateral sliding, which is resisted by the combined passive and frictional resistance, a minimum safety factor of 2.0 is recommended. For lateral stability against seismic loading conditions, we recommend a minimum safety factor of 1.1. Retaining and/or below grade walls should be drained with either perforated pipe encased in free -draining gravel or a prefabricated drainage system. The gravel zone should have a minimum width of 12 inches wide and should extend upward to within 12 inches of the top of the wall. INC upper 12 inches of backfill should consist of native soils, concrete, asphaltic -concrete of other suitable backfrU to minimize surface drainage into the wall drain system. The aggregate should be washed, evenly graded mixture of crushed stone, or crushed .or -unc ushed gravel, and should conform to ASTM 0448, Size 57, with 100 percent passings Wa-inch sieve and not more than 5 percent passing a No. 4 sieve. Prefabricated drainage systems, such as Miradrain®, Enkadrain®, or an equivalent substitute, are acceptable alternatives in lieu of gravel provided they are installed in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations. If a prefabricated drainage system is proposed, our firm should review the system for final acceptance prior to installation. Job No. 2.210-00599 10 ® Engineering Group, Inc. Drainage pipes should be placed with perforations down and should discharge in a non -erosive manner away from foundations and other improvements. The top of the perforated pipe should be placed at or below the bottom of the adjacent pavements. The pipe should be placed in the center line of the drainage blanket and should have a minimum diameter of 4 inches. Slots should be no wider than 1/8-inch in diameter, while perforations should be no more than V.-inch in diameter. If retaining walls are less than 6 feet in height, the perforated pipe may be omitted in lieu of weep holes on 4 feet maximum spacing. The weep holes should consist of 4-inch diameter holes (concrete walls) or unmortared head joints (masonry walls) and placed no higher than 18 inches above the lowest adjacent grade. Two 8-inch square overlapping patches of geotextile fabric (conforming to Section 88-1.03 of the CalTrans Standard Specifications for "edge drains") should be affixed to the rear wall opening of each weep hole to retard sod piping. During grading and backfilling operations adjacent to any walls, heavy equipment should not be allowed to operate within a lateral distance of 5 feet from the wall, or within a lateral distance equal to the wall height, whichever is greater, to avoid developing excessive lateral pressures. Within this zone, only hand operated equipment ("whackers," vibratory plates, or pneumatic compactors) should be used to compact the backfill sods. 11.9 Utility Pipe Bedding and Backiilling Utility trenches should be excavated according to accepted engineering practice following OSHA. (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards by a contractor experienced in such work. The responsibility for the safety of open trenches should be borne by the contractor. Traffic and vibration adjacent to trench walls should be minimized; cyclic wetting and drying of excavation side slopes should be avoided. Depending upon the location and depth of some utility trenches, groundwater flow into open excavations could be experienced; especially during or following periods of precipitation. Sandy soil conditions were encountered at the site. These cohesionless soils have a tendency to cave in trench wall excavations. Shoring or sloping back trench sidewalls may be required within these sandy sods. Utility trench backfill should be compacted to at least 92 percent of maximum density based on ASTM D1557-07 Test Method. Pipe bedding should be in accordance with pipe manufacturer recommendations. The contractor is responsible for removing all water -sensitive soils from the trench regardless of the backfill location and compaction requirements. The contractor should use appropriate equipment and methods to avoid damage to the utilities and/or structures during fill placement and compaction. 11.10 Pavement Design Based on the site soil condition, an R-value of 35 was used for the preliminary flexible asphaltic concrete pavement design. The R-value should be verified during grading of the pavement areas. The following table shows the recommended pavement sections for various traffic indices. The pavement design recommendations provided herein are based on the State of Califorris Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) design manual. The asphaltic concrete (flexible pavement) is based on a 20- year pavement fife utilizing 1200 passenger vehicles, 10 single unit trucks, and 2 multi -unit trucks.

(SALEM) prior to construction bidding. SALEM should be present at the site during site preparation to observe site clearing, preparation of exposed surfaces after clearing, and placement, treatment and compaction of Fill material. SALEMs observations should be supplemented with periodic compaction tests to establish .substantial conformance . with these recommendations. Moisture content of the subgrade should be tested immediately prior to concrete placement. SALEM should observe foundation excavations prior to placement of reinforcing steel or concrete to assess whether the actual bearing conditions are compatible with the conditions anticipated during the preparation of this report. SALEM should also observe placement of foundation concrete. 13.0 CHANGED CONDITIONS The analyses and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the test borings drilled at the approximate locations shown on the Site Plan, Figures 1A through 11). The report does not reflect variations which may occur between the test borings. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction La initiated. If variations then appear, a re-evaluation of the recommendations of this report will be necessary after, performing on -site observations during the'exc2votion period and noting the characteristics of such variations. The findings and recommendations presented in this report are valid as of the present and for the -proposed construction.

Exploratory borings were advanced at the site. The boring locations are shown on the attached site plan. The soils encountered were logged in the field during the exploration and with supplementary laboratory test data are described in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. Penetration and/or Resistance tests were performed at selected depths. 'These tests represent the resistance to driving a 2-and/or 3-inch outside diameter core barrel, respectively, 18 inches into the soil. The N-Value obtained from the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and/or driving the Modified California Sampler (MCS) was recorded based on the number of blows required to penetrate the last 12 inches. The driving energy was provided by a hammer weighing 140 pounds, falling 30 inches. Relatively undisturbed soil samples were obtained while performing this test. Sag samples of the disrwbed soil were obtained from the auger cuttings. All samples were rerumed to our laboratory for evaluation. 2.0 LABORATORY INVESTIGATION: The laboratory investigation was programmed to detemtine the physical and mechanical properties of the foundation soil underlying the site Test results were used as criteria for determining the engineering suitability of the surface and subsurface materials encountered. In situ moisture content, dry density, consolidation, direct shear, and sieve analysis tests were determined for the undisturbed samples representative of the subsurface material. These tests, supplemented by visual observation, comprised the basis for our evaluation of the site material.
