I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Jonan Management Services Project Number: 2377-SGS June 2006 Page 2 1'.0 SITF/PRO.JF'CT nFSCRIPTION The subject property consists of approximately 1.21-acres located southwest of Diaz Road, northwest of the intersection of Rancho California Road, in the City of Temecula, County of Riverside, California. Although grading plans are not available at this writing, based on the Referenced No.1 conceptual site plan, the future development of the subject property will be one (1) pre-fabricated metal building with a slab-on-grade foundation. The remainder of the site will consist of two (2) trash enclosures, parking, driveway, and associated hardscape or landscape improvements. . 2.0 SITE RFVIFW , 2,1 Lit"ratllr" R",!<",arr.h' Based on our review of the Referenced No.2, 3, and 4 reports, the subject site is an approximate 1.21-acre portion of the roughly 3.5-acre site that was presented in the Referenced NO.2 Report. Grading for utility lines and the driveway off of Diaz Road were the only previously graded areas found to encroach into the current subject site. The utility line is located within the narrow driveway running parallel to the northwest property line (Referenced No.3). The utility line extends from Diaz Road to its terminus located 125-feet from the southwest property line and is situated approximately 7 -feet into the site from the northwest property line. : 2.1.1 Falllt Rllptllr'" Based on our review of the Referenced No. 2 Report, geologic parameters for the site have already been established. No faults exist on the subject site, therefore, the potential for hazards associated with fault rupture is considered low. .2.1.2 Ror.kfalls and Land!:liding" Based on favorable flat topography, the potential for hazards associated with rockfalls or land sliding is considered low. .2.1.3 I iqll"far.tion' Based on the Referenced NO.2 Report, if remedial grading activities are performed as recommended, the total settlement due to potential liquefaction will be on the order of 3.87 -inches and potential differential settlement due to liquefaction is estimated at one-half of the total settlement across the building length. Therefore, the differential settlement is estimated to be approximately 1.9-inches across 60-feet. :2.2 Sit" R..r.nnnai!<!<anr.,,' The conditions observed at the site on May 22, 2005 were generally.the same as those of the Referenced NO.2 report with the following comments: The narrow driveway area is paved, similar to previously described. The larger EnGEN Corporation A.. I I. i . II . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Jonan Management Services Project Number: 2377-SGS June 2006 Page 3 rectangular area of the site appears to have up to 3-feet of undocumented fill material spread over the site, with thickest amount apparently at the southeast portion of the site, based on surface observations. Additionally, a small stockpile of green waste, minor amounts of debris, and some trash were located on-site at the time of our visit. The northeast quarter of the site has a chain-link enclosure with drums stored within the enclosure. The southeast property line has a chain-link fence located along it. The southwest property line has a block wall located along it. A planter, driveway, and parking lot are located along the northwest of the site. An existing industrialbuilding is located northeast of the site. : 2.3 I ahoratOl:Y T",;ting and Te"t R",:ulh, : 2.3.1 G"n"ral' The results of laboratory tests performed on samples of earth material obtained during the site visit are presented in the Appendix. Following is a listing and brief explanation of the laboratory tests performed. The samples obtained during the field study will be discarded 30 days after the date of this report. This office should be notified immediately if retention of samples will be needed beyond 30 days. Test results are in the Appendix of this report. .2.3.2 cla""ifi"ation- The field classification of near-surface soil materials encountered on the site were verified in the laboratory in general accordance with the Unified Soils Classification System, ASTM D 2488-00, Standard Practice for Determination and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedures). :2:3.3 Mayimllm Dry O"n"ity/Qptimllm Moistllr" Content Relationship Test. Maximum dry densityloptimum moisture content relationship determinations were performed on samples of near-surface earth material in general accordance with ASTM 1557-02 procedures using a 4.0-inch diameter mold. Samples were prepared at various moisture contents and compacted in five (5) layers using a 10-pound weight dropping 18-inches and with 25 blows per layer. A plot of the compacted dry density versus the moisture content of the specimens is constructed and the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content determined from the plot. The maximum dry densityloptimum moisture results are presented in the Laboratory Results portion of the Appendix. EnGEN Corporation /' :> . . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Jonan Management Services Project Number: 2377-SGS June 2006 Page 4 2.3.4 Fypan",ion Ind"y Te",t. Laboratory expansion tests were performed on samples of near- surface earth material in general accordance with ASTM UBC 18-2. In this testing procedure, a remolded sample is compacted in two (2) layers in a 4.0-inch mold to a total compacted thickness of approximately 1.0-inch by using a 5.5-pound weight dropping 12- inches and with 15 blows per layer. The sample should be compacted at a saturation between49 and 51 percent. After remolding, the sample is confined under a pressure of 144 pounds per square foot (pst) and allowed to soak for 24 hours. The resulting volume change due to the increase in moisture content within the sample is recorded and the Expansion Index (EI) is calculated. Testing of the existing surficial soils expansion index resulted in an EI = 6 and the EI of the upper 5-feet of soils at the time of the Referenced No.2 report yielded an EI = 29. For design purposes, the preliminary EI of 29 and a low expansion potential are recommended. Final design parameters should be based on EI testing of near surface soils and be performed at the completion of rough grading. 2.3.5 R"mold..d' Direct shear tests were performed on selected samples of near-surface earth material in general accordance with ASTM D 3080-03 procedures. The shear machine is of the constant strain type. The shear machine is designed to receive a 1.0-inch high, 2.416-inch diameter ring sample. Specimens from the sample were sheared at various pressures nonnal to the face of the specimens. The specimens were tested in a submerged condition. The maximum shear stresses were plotted versus the normal confining stresses to determine the shear strength (cohesion and angle of internal friction). The direct shear test results are presented in the Laboratory Results portion of the Appendix. .2.3.6 Solllhl.. 'SlIlfat" Cont"nt" Testing was performed in accordance with California Test Method 643 for sulfate content (CTM 417). A negligible amount of soluble sulfates (0.002%by weight) was detected in the representative sample used for chemical analysis. As a result, nonnal Type II cement can be used for all concrete in contact with native soils at the site. 3.0 FARTI-lWORK RFCOMMFNnATIONS Grading plans were not available at the time of this report. Our office should be provided these plans for review once they are available in order to make additional recommendations. EnGEN Corporation (,p I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I '. I Jonan Management Services Project Number: 2377-SGS June 2006 Page 5 3.1 Gp."era" All organic debris, oversize material, and deleterious material should be removed from the site and not used in proposed fills. Removal of organic material and undocumented fill material is not considered part of the over excavation of native soils. If the undocumented fill material is planned to be re-used as fill, it should be properly cleared of debris in conformance to the Referenced NO.2 report prior to its use as engineered fill. The grading needed for development of the site should conform to the recommendations of the Referenced NO.2 Report. Due to the proximity of the proposed buildings to the property line, the considerations of the Referenced No.4 Report should be taken into account. The earthwork recommendations from the No.2 and NO.4 Reports are summarized below for convenience. 1. To mitigate for the potential hazards associated with liquefaction, removals below the proposed structure area should extend to a depth of 13-feet below proposed pad grade or 13-feet below natural ground (after the stockpiles and debris have been removed), whichever results in the deeper removal. Horizontal extent of removals should be a minimum of 15-feet beyond the perimeter footings where not restricted by the property line, and 10-feet beyond the perimeter footings where the building is proposed to be 10- feet away from the property line. Shoring, or removals in short segments with an excavator or similar equipment, or other stabilization methods is recommended in order to accomplish vertical removals against the property line. However, as presented in the Referenced No. 4 Report, the grading contractor for the building pad on the adjacent property was able to cut a 13-foot tall vertical at the base of a 3-foot tall retaining wall, reportedly without distress to the retaining wall. EnGEN Corporation asserts no claim that this method will be viable for the current project. If the grading contractor chooses to expose the vertical cut without shoring, steps should be taken to protect the health and safety of those involved in the excavation, as well as the health, safety and property of the adjacent property owners and occupants. At a minimum, vehicles and people should be kept away from the top of the vertical cut a distance equal to its depth. 2. All exposed removal bottoms should be inspected for consistency and depth verification by the Soil Engineer's representative prior to placement of any fill. It is not intended that EnGEN Corporation \ II II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 3.2 ,4.0 4.1 Jonan Management Services Project Number: 2377-SGS June 2006 Page 6 the bottoms meet any particular degree of relative compaction. The depth is specified in order to provide a certain thickness of compacted fill blanket. 3. All hardscape areas should be removed to a depth of 2-feet below proposed grades or 2-feet below natural grades (after the stockpiles and debris have been removed), whichever results in the deeper removals. 4. The approved exposed bottoms of all removal areas should be scarified 12-inches, brought to near optimum moisture content, and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction before placement of fill. Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for compacted materials should be determined according to ASTM D 1557-02 procedures. Fngine"r"d Fill' All fill material, whether on-site material or import, should be approved by the Project Geotechnical Engineer andlor his representative before placement. All fill should be free from vegetation, organic material, and other debris. Import fill (if any) should consist of very low expansive potential material (EI=20 or less). Approved fill material should be placed in horizontal lifts not exceeding 6.0 to 8.0-inches in thickness and watered or aerated to obtain the desired moisture content. Each lift should be spread evenly and should be thoroughly mixed to ensure uniformity of soil moisture. Structural fill should meet a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent of maximum dry density based upon ASTM D 1557-02 procedures. Moisture content of non-expansive fill materials should not vary more than 2.0 percent of optimum, unless approved by the Project Geotechnical Engineer. Expansive soils should be moisture conditioned to at least 4 percent above optimum. FOIINDATION DFSIGN REcOMMFNDATIONS G"",,ral: Foundations for the proposed structure may consist of conventional column footings and continuous wall footings founded upon compacted fill material. The recommendations presented in the subsequent paragraphs for foundation design and construction are based on geotechnical characteristics and a low expansion potential for the supporting soils and should not preclude more restrictive structural requirements. The Structural Engineer for the project should determine the actual footing width and EnGEN Corporation <<6 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 4.2 4.3 4;4 4.5 Jonan Management Services Project Number, 2377-SGS June 2006 Page 7 depth in accordance with the current California Building Code to resist design vertical, horizontal, and uplift forces, based on an Expansion Index of 29, and on the results of inspection and material testing. These foundation recommendations are preliminary and should be verified once building footprints are located on the site. S"jsmic' Param"t"rs' The following seismic factors apply: Name of Fault: Elsinore (Temecula Segment) Type of Fault: Type B Fault Closest Distance to Active Fault: Less than 2 Km Soil Profile Type: SD FOllndation Si7Po' Continuous footings should have a minimum width of 12-inches. Continuous footings should be continuously reinforced with a minimum of one (1) No.4 steel reinforcing bar located near the top and one (1) NO.4 steel reinforcing bar located near the bottom of the footings to minimize the effects of slight differential movements which may occur due to minor variations in the engineering characteristics or seasonal moisture change in the supporting soils. In the case of concrete tilt-up or masonry structures when the wall and footing combine to form a deep beam system, the Structural Engineer may alter the reinforcing as necessary. Final foundation size and reinforcing should be determined based on the expansive potential of the supporting soils. Column footings should have a minimum width of 18-inches by 18-inches and be suitably reinforced, based on structural requirements. A grade beam, founded at the same depths and reinforced the same as the adjacent footings, should be provided across doorways, garage or any other types of perimeter openings. Depth of Fmh"dmPont. Exterior and interior footings founded in compacted fill material should extend to a minimum depth of 18-inches below lowest adjacent finish grade. Deeper footings may be necessary for expansive soils purposes, depending on the final determination of expansive potential at the conclusion of grading. Bearing 'Capacity. Provided the recommendations for site earthwork, minimum footing width, and minimum depth of embedment for footings are incorporated into the project EnGEN Corporation <\ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ,4.6 47 Jonan Management Services Project Number: 2377-SGS June 2006 Page 8 design and construction, the allowable bearing value for design of continuous and column footings for the total dead plus frequently-applied live loads is 2,000 psf for continuous footings ,and 2,000 psf for column footings in compacted fill material. The allowable bearing value has a factor of safety of at least 3.0 and may be increased by 33.3 percent for short durations of live andlor dynamic loading such as wind or seismic forces. Once grading is completed, the nature of the imported soils can be tested to determine if increases in the allowable bearing value is justified. Settl"m"nt. Footings designed according to the recommended bearing values for continuous and column footings, respectively, and the maximum assumed wall and column loads are not expected to exceed a maximum settlement of 1.0-inch or a differential settlement of 0.5-inch between adjacent column loads under static load conditions in properly compacted fill to the depth recommended. An evaluation of settlement due to possible liquefaction was made in the Referenced No. 1 Report based on SPT values, fines content and potential earthquake magnitude. The results indicate a possibility of potential seismically induced total settlement on the order of 3.87 -inches due to an earthquake event of magnitude 6.8 on the Elsinore Fault. As a result, potential differential settlement on the order of one-half of the total may be experienced across the building length. Therefore the differential settlement is estimated to be approximately 1.9- inches across 60-feet. The probability of such an occurrence is considered remote. However, the Project Structural Engineer should be conservative in providing tension ties at the roof connections to promote the concept of "life safety" design and minimize the potential of roof collapse in the event of liquefaction. Such design should meet the "acceptable level of risk" as defined in CDMG Special Publication 117. I atera' Capacity. Additional foundation design parameters for resistance to static lateral forces, are as follows: ,Allowable Lateral Pressure (Equivalent Fluid Pressure), Passive Case: Compacted Fill - 250 pet Allowable Coefficient of Friction: Compacted Fill - 0.35 Lateral load resistance may be developed by a combination of friction acting on the base of foundations and slabs and passive earth pressure developed on the sides of the footings and stem walls below grade when in contact with bedrock material. The above EnGEN Corporation \0 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I '5.1 Jonan Management Services Project Number: 2377-SGS June 2006 Page 9 values are allowable design values and may be used in combination without reduction in evaluating the resistance to lateral loads. The allowable values may be increased by 33.3 percent for short durations of live andlor dynamic loading, such as wind or seismic forces. For the calculation of passive earth resistance, the upper 1.0-foot of material should be neglected unless confined by a concrete slab or pavement. The maximum recommended allowable passive pressure is 5.0 times the recommended design value. 5.0 SI AR.ON.GRAnF RFCOMMFNnATIONS The recommendations for concrete slabs, both interior and exterior, excluding PCC pavement, are based upon the expansion potential for the supporting material. Concrete slabs should be designed to minimize cracking as a result of shrinkage. Joints (isolation, contraction, and construction) should be placed in accordance with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines. Special precautions should be taken during placement and curing of all concrete slabs. Excessive slump (high water I cement ratio) of the concrete and/or improper curing procedures used during either hot or cold weather conditions could result in excessive shrinkage, cracking, or curling in the slabs. It is recommended that all concrete proportioning, placement, and curing be performed in accordance with ACI recommendations and procedures. Interior Slah,,' Interior concrete slabs-on-grade should be a minimum of 5.0-inches actual in thickness and be underlain by 1.0 to 2.0-inches of clean coarse sand or other approved granular material placed on properly prepared subgrade per the Earthwork Recommendations Section of this report. Minimum slab reinforcement should consist of NO.4 bars at 24-inches on center each way, or a suitable equivalent, as determined by the Project Structural Engineer. Varying degrees of expansive potential require additional slab reinforcing and thickness. Final lot identification and slab construction requirements will be presented in the compaction report upon completion of grading. It is essential that the reinforcing be placed at mid-depth in the slab. The concrete section andlor reinforcing steel should be increased appropriately for anticipated excessive or concentrated floor loads. In areas where moisture sensitive floor coverings are anticipated over the slab, we recommend the use of a polyethylene vapor barrier with a minimum of 10.0 mil in thickness be placed beneath the slab. The moisture barrier should be overlapped or sealed at splices and covered top and bottom by a 1.0-inch to 2.0-inch minimum layer of EnGEN Corporation \\ i I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 5.2 6.0 6.1 .6.2 Jonan Management Services Project Number: 2377-SGS June 2006 Page 10 clean, moist (not saturated) sand to aid in concrete curing and to minimize potential punctures. FJCt"rinr Slahs' All exterior concrete slabs cast on finish subgrade (patios, sidewalks, etc., with the exception of PCC pavement) should be a minimum of 4.0-inches nominal in thickness and should be underlain by a minimum of 12.0-inches of soil that has been prepared in accordance with the Earthwork Recommendation section of this report. Reinforcing in the slabs and the use of a compacted sand or gravel base beneath the slabs should be according to the current local standards. RFTAININf.: WAI I RFCOMMFNnATIONS Farth Pr"sslIres' Retaining walls backfilled with non-expansive granular soil (EI=O) or very low expansive potential materials (Expansion Index of 20 or less) within a zone extending upward and away from the heel of the footing at a slope of 0.5: 1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter can be designed to resist the following static lateral soil pressures: c~:~~::n LeV~I~B~~rill 2:~5s~~e Materials of a very low Expansion Index may be used as backfill within the active/at-rest pressure zone as defined above. Walls that are free to deflect 0.01 radian at the top should be designed for the above-recommended active condition. Walls that are not capable of this movement should be assumed rigid and designed for the at-rest condition. The above values assume well-drained backfill and no buildup of hydrostatic pressure. Surcharge loads, dead andlor live, acting on the backfill within a horizontal distance behind the wall should also be considered in the design. FOllndation nesign' Retaining wall footings should be founded to the same depths into firm, competent, undisturbed bedrock as standard foundations and may be designed for the same average allowable bearing value across the footing (as long as the resultant force is located in the middle one-third of the footing), and with the same allowable static lateral bearing pressure and allowable sliding resistance as previously recommended. When using the allowable lateral pressure and allowable sliding resistance, a Factor of EnGEN Corporation \z.. I I , I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Jonan Management Services Project Number, 2377-SGS June 2006 Page 11 Safety of 1.0 may be used. If ultimate values are used for design, an approximate Factor of Safety of 1.5 should be achieved. 6.3 SlIhdrain' A subdrain system should be constructed behind and at the base of all retaining walls to allow drainage and to prevent the buildup of excessive hydrostatic pressures. Typical subdrains may include weep holes with a continuous gravel gallery, perforated pipe surrounded by filter rock, or some other approved system. The perforated pipes should be at least 4.0-inches in diameter. Pipe perforations should be placed downward. Gravel filters should have volume of at least 1.0 cubic foot per lineal foot of pipe. Subdrains should maintain a positive flow gradient and have outlets that drain in a non-erosive manner. I 6.4 Rackfill' Backfill directly behind retaining walls (if backfill width is less than 3-feet) may consist of 0.5 to 0.75-inch diameter, rounded to subrounded gravel enclosed in a geotextile fabric such as Mirafi 140N, Supac 4NP, or a suitable substitute or a clean sand (Sand Equivalent Value greater than 50) water jetted into place to obtain proper compaction. If water jetting is used, the subdrain system should be in place. Even if water jetting is used, the sand should be densified to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. If the specified density is not obtained by water jetting, mechanical methods will be required. If other types of soil or gravel are used for backfill, mechanical compaction methods will be required to obtain a relative compaction of at least 90 percent of maximum dry density. Backfill directly behind retaining walls should not be compacted by wheel, track or other rolling by heavy construction equipment unless the wall is designed for the surcharge loading. If gravel, clean sand or other imported backfill is used behind retaining walls, the upper 18-inches of backfill in unpaved areas should consist of typical on-site material compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction in order to prevent the influx of surface runoff into the granular backfill and into the subdrain system. Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for backfill materials should be determined in accordance with ASTM D 1557-02 procedures. .7.0 MIScFI i AN FOilS RFC:OMMFNnATIONS 7~ 1 IItility Tr"nch R"comm"ndatinn,,' Utility trenches within the zone of influence of foundations or under building floor slabs, hardscape, andlor pavement areas should be backfilled with properly compacted soil.

Where interior or exterior utility trenches are proposed parallel andlor perpendicular to any building footing, the bottom of the trench should not be located below a 1:1 plane projected downward from the outside bottom edge of the adjacent footing unless the utility lines are designed for the footing surcharge loads. Backfill material should be placed in a lift thickness appropriate for the type of backfill material and compaction equipment used. Backfill material for trenches deeper than 2-feet should be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction by mechanical means. Jetting of the backfill material may not be considered a satisfactory method for compaction. Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for backfill material should be determined according to ASTM D1557-02 procedures. Pav"ment n"sign R""omm"ndations' Preliminary pavement recommendations are presented based on R-Value testing of soils obtained from the site and an assumed future traffic loading expressed in terms of a Traffic Index (TI).

Since actual calculations may at times conflict with City of Temecula adopted standards, the AC pavement sections and the Portland Cement pavement section are subject to review and approval by the City of Temecula. Asphalt concrete pavement materials should be as specified in Sections 203-6 of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book), or a suitable equivalent. Aggregate base should conform to Class II material as specified in Sections 203-6 of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book), or a suitable equivalent. The subgrade soil, including utility trench backfill, should be compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction. The aggregate base material should be compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction. Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for subgrade and aggregate base materials should be determined according to ASTM D 1557-02 procedures. In dumpster pick-up areas, and in areas where semi-trailers are to be parked on the pavement such that a considerable load is transferred from small wheels, it is recommended that rigid Portland Cement concrete pavement with a minimum thickness of 8.0-inches be provided in these areas. This will provide for the proper distribution of loads to the subgrade without causing deformation of the pavement surface. Special consideration should also be given to areas where truck traffic will negotiate small radius turns. Asphaltic concrete pavement in these areas should utilize stiffer emulsions or the areas should be paved with Portland Cement concrete. In areas where Portland Cement concrete is to be placed directly on subgrade, the subgrade should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction. If pavement subgrade soils are prepared at the time of rough grading of the building site and the areas are not paved immediately, additional observations and testing will have to be performed before placing aggregate base material, asphaltic concrete, or PCC pavement to locate areas that may have been damaged by construction traffic, construction activities, and/or seasonal wetting and drying. In the proposed pavement areas, soil samples should be obtained at the time the subgrade is graded for R-Value testing according to California Test Method 301 procedures to verify the pavement design recommendations.

All temporary cuts and excavations should be inclined no steeper than 1: 1 (horizontal to vertical) in the existing fill or alluvial areas of the site. Exposed conditions may require flatter inclinations. Steeper inclinations or potentially unstable conditions will require full properly placed shoring. If site restrictions require a different configuration, this office should be contacted to develop construction recommendations. Fini"h I nt Drainage Re"omm"ndation,,' Finish lot surface gradients in unpaved areas should be provided next to tops of slopes and buildings to direct surface water away from foundations and slabs and from flowing over the tops of slopes. The surface water should be directed toward suitable drainage facilities. Ponding of surface water should not be allowed next to structures or on pavements. In unpaved areas, a minimum positive gradient of 2.0 percent away from the structures and tops of slopes for a minimum distance .of 5.0-feet and a minimum of 1.0 percent pad drainage off the property in a non- erosive manner should be provided. Plant"r Re"omm"ndation,,' Planters around the perimeter of the structure should be designed to ensure that adequate drainage is maintained and minimal irrigation water is allowed to percolate into the soils underlying the building. SlIpp'"m"ntal con"trur.tinn Oh"ervation" and Te"ting' Any subsequent grading for development of the subject property should be performed under engineering observation and testing performed by EnGEN Corporation. Subsequent grading includes, but is not limited to, any additional overexcavation of cut andlor cut/fill transitions, fill placement, and excavation of temporary and permanent cut and fill slopes. In addition, EnGEN Corporation should observe all foundation excavations. Observations should be made prior to installation of concrete forms andlor reinforcing steel so as to verify andlor modify, if necessary, the conclusions and recommendations in this report. Observations of overexcavation cuts, fill placement, finish grading, utility or other trench backfill, pavement subgrade and base course, retaining wall backfill, slab presaturation, or other earthwork completed for the development of subject property should be performed by EnGEN Corporation.
