Westlake Village, Los Angeles County, California Terracon Project No. 60135023A Dear Ms. Siegel:
Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) has completed additional percolation testing services for the above referenced project. These services were performed in general accordance with our Supplement to Agreement for Services dated February 3, 2015. This percolation test addendum presents the results of the subsurface exploration and provides supplemental geotechnical recommendations concerning earthwork and the design and construction of infiltration systems for the proposed project. Terracon has previously provided a geotechnical engineering report for the proposed North Ranch Gateway Shopping Center Improvements (Terracon’s report 6013523A) on December 9, 2014. In addition, the civil engineer, Westland Civil Inc., has requested additional information regarding seismic parameters for retaining walls proposed at the project site, which are addressed in this addendum. Our subsurface exploration included seven (7) percolation tests conducted at the site on November 7, 2014. The test locations are shown in Exhibit A-1, attached to this letter. The test locations were selected by the Civil Engineer. Soil samples were collected and select samples were tested for soil classification. Logs of the percolation borings are shown in the attached Exhibits A-2 thru A-8.
Seismic Lateral Earth Pressures
Static lateral earth pressures were provided in the original geotechnical engineering report for low-volume change import backfill materials. Total lateral earth pressures acting on the retaining walls during a seismic event will likely include the static force and a dynamic increment. This dynamic increment should be applied to the wall as resultant force acting at 0.6H height from the base of the wall. Such increment should be added to the static earth pressures. The dynamic lateral earth resultant force (for a SDS=1.00g) is 18H2 (in units of pounds per linear foot (plf), where H (in units of feet) is the height of the soil behind the wall.

Backfill placed against structures should consist of low volume change soils. For the provided values to be valid, the backfill must extend out from the base of the wall at an angle of at least 45 degrees from vertical for the active and passive cases, respectively. The design of retaining structures should consider surcharge loads imposed by the foundations of new or existing buildings located near the proposed walls. In addition, the design should take into consideration new vehicular loads in the vicinity of the proposed walls. In general, surcharge loads should be considered where they are located within a horizontal distance behind the wall equal to the height of the wall. Surcharge loads acting at the top of the wall should be applied to the wall over the backfill as a uniform pressure over the entire wall height, and should be added to the static earth pressures. Surcharge stresses due to point loads, line loads, and those of limited extent, such as compaction equipment, should be evaluated using elastic theory. Adequate drainage should be provided behind the retaining walls to collect water from irrigation, landscaping, surface runoff, or other sources, to achieve a free-draining backfill condition. The wall back drain should consist of Class 2 permeable materials1 that are placed behind the entire wall height to within 18 inches of ground surface at the top of the wall. As a minimum, the width of Class 2 permeable materials behind the wall should be two feet. Water collected by the back drain should be directed to an appropriate outlet, such as perforated pipes, for disposal.
Typical Subsurface Profile
Specific conditions encountered at the boring locations are indicated on the individual boring logs. Stratification boundaries on the boring logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil type in-situ, the transition between materials may be gradual. Details for the borings can be found on the boring logs attached to this report. General Notes along with the Unified Soil Classification System are provided in Exhibits A-10 and A-11. The current ground surface of the project site is generally covered by asphalt pavements. Based on the results of the borings, subsurface conditions on the project site can be generalized as sandy lean clay and clayey sand.
Groundwater was not observed in the test borings at the time of field exploration. These observations represent groundwater conditions at the time of the field exploration and may not be indicative of other times, or at other locations.
Percolation Test Results Seven (7) in-situ percolation tests (falling head borehole permeability) were performed to an approximate depth of 5 feet bgs. A 2-inch thick layer of gravel was placed in the bottom of each boring after the borings were drilled to investigate the soil profile. A 3-inch diameter perforated pipe 1 In accordance with the requirements and specifications of the State of California Department of Transportation.

was installed on top of the gravel layer in each boring. Gravel was used to backfill between the perforated pipes and the boring sidewall. The borings were then filled with water for a pre-soak period. Testing began after the entire amount of water added to the borings had infiltrated into the ground. At the beginning of each test, the pipes were refilled with water and readings were taken at 30 minute time intervals. Percolation rates are provided in the following table:

Perc-6 (5 ft) Clayey Sand (SC) 7.0 0.51 52
Perc-7 (5 ft) Sandy Lean Clay (CL) 1.5 0.10 54
* If the proposed infiltration systems will mainly rely on vertical downward seepage, the correlated infiltration rates should be used. The correlated infiltration rates were calculated using a reduction factor in accordance with the County of Los Angeles guidelines2.
The field test results are not intended to be design rates. They represent the result of our tests, at the depths and locations indicated, as described above. The design rate should be determined by the designer by applying an appropriate factor of safety. Based on the County of Los Angeles design requirements and the existing subsurface conditions, it is our opinion that the on-site materials may not be considered adequate for onsite storm water infiltration. However, the civil engineer should be consulted on the adequacy of the proposed infiltration systems. With time, the bottoms of infiltration systems tend to plug with organics, sediments, and other debris. Long term maintenance will likely be required to remove these deleterious materials to help reduce decreases in actual percolation rates. The percolation test was performed with clear water, whereas the storm water will likely not be clear, but may contain organics, fines, and grease/oil. The presence of these deleterious materials will tend to decrease the rate that water percolates from the infiltration systems. Design of the storm water infiltration systems should account for the presence of these materials and should incorporate structures/devices to remove these deleterious materials.

DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION
> 8,000
Unless otherwise noted, Latitude and Longitude are approximately determined using a hand-held GPS device. The accuracyof such devices is variable. Surface elevation data annotated with +/- indicates that no actual topographical survey wasconducted to confirm the surface elevation. Instead, the surface elevation was approximately determined from topographicmaps of the area.
Soil classification is based on the Unified Soil Classification System. Coarse Grained Soils have more than 50% of their dryweight retained on a #200 sieve; their principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils haveless than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are principally described as clays if they are plastic, andsilts if they are slightly plastic or non-plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may beadded according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse-grained soils are definedon the basis of their in-place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.

Water levels indicated on the soil boringlogs are the levels measured in theborehole at the times indicated.Groundwater level variations will occurover time. In low permeability soils,accurate determination of groundwaterlevels is not possible with short termwater level observations.
(More than 50% retained on No. 200 sieve.)Density determined by Standard Penetration Resistance
Includes gravels and sands.
(50% or more passing the No. 200 sieve.)Consistency determined by laboratory shear strength testing, field
