Dear Mr. Antin:
INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a geotechnical investigation for the subject
project. During the course of this investigation, the engineering properties of the
subsurface materials, soil and rock, were evaluated in order to evaluate slope stability
and to provide recommendations for design and construction of temporary excavations

The attached Appendix I, describes the method of field exploration. Figure Nos.
I-1 through I-3 present summaries of the materials encountered at the location of our
exploratory test holes. Figure No. I-4 presents a key to the log of exploratory test pits.
The attached Appendix II describes the laboratory testing procedures. Figure
Nos. II-1 and II-2 present the results of direct shear and consolidation tests on selected
undisturbed samples.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
It is our understanding that the proposed project will consist of construction of a
single family residence at the subject site. The proposed building is expected to be a
two-story structure, with one level above grade and one level approximately below
street grade. The flooring systems are expected to be in a form of concrete grade
slabs.
As part of the proposed project, a swimming pool may also be constructed. The
proposed swimming pool depth is expected to range from about 3 to 6 feet. The
approximate location of the proposed structures are shown on the enclosed Geologic
Map & Site Plan; Drawing No 1

Where making excavations close to the property line (within the eastern portion
of the north property line where the magnitude of the cut is higher) temporary shoring
should be used during the course of the site grading work. Such shoring system should
consist of cantilevered soldier piles. Within the areas of low cuts and where adequate
horizontal distance beyond the planned line of excavation is available,
unsupported/open excavation slopes with gradients as recommended in this report can
be used.
Structural loading data was not available during the course of preparation of this
report. For the purpose of this investigation, however, it is assumed that maximum
concentrated loads will be on the order of 60 kips, combined dead plus frequently
applied live loads. The retaining wall footings are expected to have loads of on the
order of 6 kips per lineal foot.
ANTICIPATED SITE GRADING WORK
It is expected that the site grading will involve mainly cutting operations in order
to create the proposed finished grades. A portion of the excavated materials will be
used behind the retaining walls constructed along the top of the descending slope (to

The lot is bound on the north and south by existing single family residences, on
the east by Rochedale Way and on the west by Hanley Avenue. See the enclosed
Geologic Map & Site Plan; Drawing No. 1 for details.
From the terminus of Rochedale Way, the lot descends on a relatively mild slope
approximately 100 feet in the horizontal direction, to the top of a cut slope that extends
to Hanley Avenue. The cut has vertical heights of 15 to 20 feet and an inclination of
about 1.2:1 (horizontal:vertical). The cut slope exposes coarse-grained sandstone
bedrock.
No sign of instability was noted on the existing cut slope, except for minor
erosion in local areas. No sign of tension cracks were observed along the top of the cut
slope. The slope appeared to be grossly stable.
GEOLOGIC AND SOIL CONDITIONS
The geologic investigation consisted of the excavation, inspection, sampling and
geologic logging of two test pits excavated by jackhammers and one boring by a hollow-
stem auger; a review of published geologic maps; and on-site and near-site geologic

This bedrock unit has been classified as belonging to the Cretaceous-age Chico
formation by other workers; see Figure No. 2 - Regional Geologic Map by Dibblee
(1991). Bedrock onsite was found to generally be massive to thick bedded, with
east-west trending strikes and southerly dips from 30-40 degrees. These observations
are in general agreement with regional geologic maps of the area.
ENGINEERING-GEOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS
Groundwater was not observed in the test holes. No seeps or springs were noted
on-site, nor does the site have any surface streams passing through it.
The sandstone material underlying the site is generally a very good foundation
material; however, it can be hard to excavate. Boring 1 was advanced with a
hollow-stem auger drill rig, and was unable to penetrate even the upper layer of rock.
For the basement excavation, heavy-duty equipment may be required.From an engineering-geologic point of view, the proposed new single family
residence and pool project can proceed as planned, provided all new structures are
founded in bedrock to sufficient depth and with proper drainage; surface water runoff on
the site should be controlled; and preventive slope maintenance be regularly performed.

In accordance with the 2007 California Building code (CBC 2007), the project site
can be classified as a C site. The mapped spectral accelerations of SS=1.729 (short
period) and S1 =0.787 (1-second period) can be used for this project. These parameters
correspond to site Coefficients values of Fa =1.0 and FV =1.3, respectively.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL
Based on the geotechnical engineering data derived during this investigation, it
is believed that the proposed construction may be made as planned. It is our opinion
that when the proposed construction and grading are made, following the
recommendations in this report, the site will be safe for the proposed structures against
the hazard of landslide, settlement, or slippage.
It is anticipated that the planned excavations will be made through minor amount
of native soils and mainly rock. Therefore, rock will be exposed at the finished grades.
The bedrock is expected to provide excellent support for the proposed residence and
the associated retaining walls through conventional spread footings. Near the top of the

wall (whichever is greater) to a maximum value of 15 feet. For the purpose of this
project, a 5 feet clear horizontal distance would be adequate.
When making high cuts close to the north property line, temporary shoring should
be used. Such shoring system should consist of cantilevered soldier piles. The shoring
piles can then be incorporated into the retaining walls and be part of the permanent
structures. The lower portions of the shoring piles (below the base of the excavation)
can be used to provide vertical support through skin friction. Within the areas of low
cuts and where adequate horizontal distance beyond the planned line of excavation is
available, unsupported/open excavation slopes with gradients as recommended in this
report can be used.
The results of our analysis indicated that the subject lot, with the planned grading
work, will remain grossly stable with respect to deep-seated slope instability (having a
factor of safety of greater than 1.5). See the enclosed engineering calculation sheets.
No significant amount of soil occurs on the existing cut slope. Therefore, surficial
slope instability will not be an issue on this project.
Grade slabs may be cast directly over rock, or properly compacted fill soils.
Where grade slabs span between soil and bedrock the bedrock should be

Unshored Excavations: It is expected that temporary excavations will be made
during the course of site grading work to create the proposed finished grades. The
excavation will be made through minor amount of native soils and massive sandstone
and/or conglomerate rock.
Based upon the engineering characteristics of the subsurface materials, it is our
opinion that temporary excavation slopes through soil and massive bedrock with no
through-going plane of weakness may be made in accordance with the following table:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Maximum Depth of Cut Maximum Slope Ratio
(FT) (Horizontal:Vertical)Soil Rock
0-5 1/2:1 Vertical5-10 3/4:1 Vertical>10 1:1 3/4:1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------It is recommended that the Engineering Geologist inspect the cut slopes within
larger scale excavations as soon as five feet of bedrock is exposed in order to confirm
the results of our findings. Modification to our recommendations may be necessary if
variations are noted.

used. The caissons can be incorporated into the retaining walls and be part of the
permanent structures. The lower portions of the shoring piles (below the base of the
excavation) can be used to provide vertical support through skin friction.
The lateral resistance for cantilevered soldier piles may be assumed to be offered
by available passive pressure below the basement level. An allowable passive pressure
of 600 pounds per square foot per foot of depth may be used below the basement level
for soldier piles having center-to-center spacing of at least 2-1/2 times the pile diameter.
Maximum allowable passive pressure should be limited to 6,000 pounds per square
foot. The maximum center-to-center spacing of the vertical shafts should be maintained
no greater than 10 feet.
For design of temporary support, active pressure on piles may be computed
using an equivalent fluid density of 30 pounds per cubic foot. Uniform surcharge may
be computed using an active pressure coefficient of 0.30 times the uniform load.
When using cantilevered soldier piles for temporary shoring, the point of fixity
(for the purpose of moment calculations), may be assumed to occur at some 12 inches
below the base of the excavation. In order to limit local sloughing, it is recommended
that lagging be used where soil is exposed between the soldier piles All wood

Prior to placing any fill, the Soil Engineer and Engineering Geologist should
observe the excavation bottoms. The areas to receive fill should be scarified and
compacted in-place to a relative compaction of at least 90 percent at optimum moisture
content.
General guidelines regarding site grading are presented below in an itemized
form which may be included in the earthwork specification. It is recommended that all
fill be placed under engineering observation and in accordance with the following
guidelines:
1. All vegetation should be shaved and removed from the site before sitegrading work is initiated;
2. Subdrain should be installed behind all retaining walls. All subdrainshould be observed and approved by this office before backfilling;
3. The subdrain pipes should be laid at a minimum grade of twopercent for self cleaning.
4. The excavated materials from the site may be reused in the areas of newfill. Wall backfill, however, should consist of granular materials.
-10-

10. Inspection and field density tests should be conducted by the Soil
Engineer during grading work to assure that adequate compaction isattained. Where compaction of less than 90 percent is indicated,additional compactive effort should be made with adjustment of themoisture content or layer thickness, as necessary, until at least 90percent compaction is obtained.
SITE DRAINAGE
Site drainage should be provided to divert roof and surface waters from the
property through non-erodible drainage devices to the street. In no case should the
surface waters be allowed to pond behind the walls or flow over the slope surfaces in an
uncontrolled manner. A minimum surface slope of one and two percent should be
maintained in paved and unpaved areas, respectively.
FOUNDATIONS
It is anticipated that, after the planned excavation is made, rock will be exposed
at the finished grades. The bedrock is expected to provide excellent support for the
proposed residence and the associated retaining walls through conventional spread

1,100 pounds per square foot for the portion of piles extended deeper than 10 feet into
bedrock. Uplift capacity may be assumed one half of the downward capacity.
The above given allowable maximum bearing and skin friction values are for the
total of dead, plus frequently applied live loads. For short duration transient loading;
wind or seismic forces, the given value may be increased by one third.
For friction pile design, the weight of the shafts can be assumed to be taken by
end-bearing, therefore, need not be added to the structural loads. All piles should be
concreted as soon as they are excavated and, for safety, should not be left open
overnight .
During the course of our field investigation, no caving was experienced in the test
holes. On this basis, caving is expected not to occur within drilled holes. If the
foundations are excavated with hand tools, proper shoring should be implemented for
workmen safety where soil is exposed.
Total and differential settlements of the proposed residence and the associated
retaining walls (with foundations established in rock) are expected to be within tolerable
limits; less than 3/8 and 1/4 of one inch, respectively. The major portion of the
settlements are expected to occur during construction

GRADE SLABS
Grade slabs may be cast directly over bedrock, or properly compacted fill soils.
Where grade slabs span between soil and bedrock, the bedrock should be
over-excavated by some 12 inches and the excavated materials could be used for the
compacted fill (compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction at optimum
moisture content). This will create uniform subgrade conditions beneath grade slabs
and reduce the chances of uneven subgrade movements. As an alternative to
over-excavation of the rock, a cold joint can be placed at the daylight between soil and
rock. Due to granular nature, soil expansion will not be an issue at this site. For the
purpose of this project, however, the slabs should be at least 5 inches thick and be
reinforced with # 3 bars placed at every 18 inches on center.
In the areas where moisture sensitive floor covering is used and slab dampness
cannot be tolerated, a vapor-barrier should be used beneath the slabs. This normally
consists of a 6-mil polyethylene film covered with 2 inches of clean sand.

Uniform surcharge effects may be computed using a coefficient of 0.30 times the
assumed uniform loads.
EXCAVATION
During the course of our field investigation, the rock was excavated with difficulty
using a drill machine and power tools. Therefore, it is anticipated that jack hammer and
possible ripping will be required during the course of site grading (excavation) work.
OBSERVATION DURING CONSTRUCTION
The presented recommendations in this report assume that all structural
foundations (spread footings and piles) will be established in rock. All foundation
excavations should be observed by a representative of this office. It is essential to
assure that all excavations are made at proper dimensions, are established in the
recommended bearing material and are free of loose and disturbed soils.
The project engineering geologist should observe the temporary cut slopes.
Modification to our recommendations may be necessary if significant variations are

METHOD OF FIELD EXPLORATION
In order to define the subsurface conditions, two test pits and one boring were
excavated on the site. The test pits were excavated using power tools. The boring
was drilled with hollow stem drilling machine. The approximate location of the
exploratory test holes are shown on the enclosed Geologic Map & Site Plan; Drawing
No. 1.
Continuous logs of the subsurface conditions, as encountered in the test pits,were recorded during the field work and are presented on Figure Nos. I-1 through I-4
within this Appendix. These figures also show the number and approximate depths of
each of the recovered soil and rock samples.

MOISTURE DENSITYThe moisture-density information provides a summary of soil consistency for
each stratum and can also provide a correlation between soils found on this site and
other nearby sites. The dry unit weight and field moisture content were determined for
each undisturbed sample, and the results are shown on the log of exploratory borings.
DIRECT SHEAR TESTS
After the samples are pre-soaked overnight under initial confining pressure, a
range of normal stresses are applied vertically, and the shear strengths are
progressively determined under each load in order to determine the internal angle of
friction and the cohesion of the sample. After application of each of the confining
pressures, and before the shearing tests, sufficient amount of time is allowed for any
excess pore pressure to dissipate. During the course of shear test, the sample is
allowed to undergo volume change under a given confining pressure. Under each load,
