Dear Mr. Saiid:
In accordance with the request of Mr. Scott Cooper with the City of Temecula, Geocon West, Inc.
(Geocon) has completed a third -party review of the Update Geotechnical Report (Reference 1) prepared
by Leighton and Associates, Inc. (Leighton). The purpose of the review is to present our opinion
regarding the suitability of the study. conclusions, and recommendations provided within the referenced
document. Geocon's review is based on the County of Riverside Technical Guidelines for the Review of
Geotechnical and Geologic Reports 2000 Edition, California Geological Survey Special Publication
117A, Guidelines for Evaluating and Mitigating Seismic Hazards in California dated 2008, California

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The scope services performed by Geocon for this geotechnical third -party review consisted of the
following:
• Review published geologic maps, referenced plans and geotechnical documents, and other
literature pertaining to the site.
• Evaluation of the suitability of the referenced geotechnical document for the planned recreation
facility.
• Preparation of this third -party review letter.
SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A community recreation facility is proposed on the southwest side of Loop Road, west of Street YY
within the Roripaugh Ranch planned unit development. The Site Plan depicts the facility consisting of a
fitness center, two pools a barn, a recreational building, six bungalows and associated parking and
infrastructure improvements. The site plan depicts a descending slope to the recreational area from Loop
Road. The site plan does not include existing or proposed grades.
The previously provided Updated Geotechnical Report (Reference 3) was initially submitted as the basis
for earthwork and structural design of the recreation center. Geocon reviewed the generalized document
which provided geotechnical parameters for project design for several planning areas within Roripaugh
Ranch based on previous geotechnical reports and investigations. Geocon issued a Third -Party Review
letter on March 27, 2019 requesting a site -specific geotechnical report be prepared for the proposed
recreation center. The Update Geotechnical Report dated April 17, 2019 was provided for our review by
the City on May 13, 2019.
REVIEW
The Update Geotechnical Investigation (Reference 1) included the excavation of 10 geotechnical
borings, laboratory testing and preparation of the referenced report providing geotechnical
recommendations in accordance with the 2016 California Building Code (CBC).
Leighton reported encountering 2.5 to 16.5+ feet of previously placed fill. No geotechnical
documentation of the fill was available for their review; however, they did not refer to it as
undocumented. Leighton cited a 2012 geotechnical investigation by John R. Byerly, Inc. and their
borings as evidence removals were extended to or into Pauba formational bedrock during the original
grading. Leighton indicated final grades will be 4 to 6 feet higher than current grades within the site.
They did not mention any proposed slopes currently or planned for the project.
Laboratory test results indicated a preliminary R-value of 17, expansion indices of 37 and 42, collapse
of 0.19 to 6.77 percent, and maximum density/optimum moisture test results of 131.8 pet- maximum dry
Gcocon Pr lac No T2652-22-12 May 17, 2019
density at 8.7 percent moisture and 127.0 pcf maximum dry density at 9.5 percent moisture. The 6.77
percent collapse occurred in a soil sample within the proposed recreation building foot print at a depth
of 10 feet below existing ground.
Leighton estimated groundwater was 339 feet below ground in a well one mile from the site in 2017.
They stated groundwater was not encountered to the maximum depth explored of 21.5 feet.
Leighton concluded that geologic hazards such as faulting, landslides, debris flow, and rock falls were
not present on or projecting toward the site. They did not comment on the stability of the slopes between
Road YY and the proposed recreation center.
Based on the recommendations in the report, Leighton anticipated that the structures will be supported
on conventional shallow foundations and have concrete slab -on -grade floors. Anticipated footing loads
for walls and columns were not provided.
Leighton's geotechnical conclusions and recommendations for site development include:
• Removal of the upper 2 feet of existing fill prior to placement of additional fill;
• Removal of 12 feet of previously placed fill within the recreation building to mitigate the
collapse potential;
• Removal of the upper 1 foot of previously placed fill in proposed hardscape and paving
improvements with proof rolling and observation provided by the geotechnical consultant for
approval;
• Over excavation of 2 feet surrounding the pool if expansive soils (EI>20) are present within
the excavation;
• Recommendations that removal bottoms by observed and approved by the geotechnical
consultant during grading;
• Concluded that sulfate attack was negligible as evidenced by testing soil samples within the
over-all development but recommended sulfate testing at the completion of grading;
• Recommended an 8-inch deepened edge to be constructed on flatwork adjacent to unfinished
or irrigated landscaped areas if subgrade soils have an expansion index of more that 21;
Based on our review of the report Geocon has the following comments:
• The consultant should review the stability of the slopes along the perimeter of the site
following development of grading plans and/or after completion of site grading and comment
on the stability of the slopes.
• The consultant should be onsite to observe and approve removal bottoms during grading.
• Several recommendations are based on non -expansive soils (EK21). However, expansion
testing indicates site soils are expansive. The consultant should collect soil samples during
Geocon Project No. T2652-22-r2 May 17, 2019
rough grading to determine if over excavation will be required for the pool and if a deepened
edge will be required for flatwork.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on our review of the referenced document, it is our opinion that the referenced geotechnical report
adequately addresses the project design as presented. Additional information is not required, at this time,
to conform to Riverside County Technical Guidelines for Review of Geotechnical and Geologic Reports
(2000 Edition).
