110 SONORA STREET
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA
INTRODUCTION
In response to your request and in accordance with the City of Newport Beach Building
Department requirements, we have completed a preliminary geotechnical investigation
at the subject site located at 110 Sonora Street, near the western entrance of the
Balboa Peninsula, in the City of Newport Beach, State of California (see Site Location
Map, Figure 1).
The purpose of our investigation was to evaluate the existing geotechnical conditions at
the subject site and provide recommendations and geotechnical parameters for site re-
development, earthwork, and foundation design for the proposed re-construction. We
were also requested to evaluate the potential for on-site geotechnical hazards. This
report presents the results of our findings, as well as our conclusions and
recommendations.
SCOPE OF STUDY
The scope of our investigation included the following tasks:
C Review of readily available published and unpublished reports;
C Geologic reconnaissance and mapping;
C Excavation and sampling of two (2) exploratory borings to a total depth of
11 feet below existing grade (b.g.);
C Continuous Cone Penetration Test (CPT) sounding to a depth of 50 feet
below grade (results of the CPT soundings are included herein);
C Laboratory testing of representative samples obtained from the exploratory
borings;
C Engineering and geologic analysis including seismicity coefficients in
accordance with the 2016 California Building Code (CBC);

• Preparation of this report presenting our findings, conclusions, and
recommendations .
GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS
The subject property is a roughly 48 ft. by 7 4 to 76 ft., rectangular lot located at 110
Sonora Street within the City of Newport Beach, County of Orange . The subject lot is
located near the west entry of the Balboa Peninsular and one short block from the
beach . For the purpose of clarity in this report, the lot is bound by Sonora Street to the
west, by Seashore Drive to the north, by similar single family dwellings to the east, and
by 7210 W . Oceanfront across an alley to the south (see Plot Plan, Figure 2).
The site is legally described as Subdivision A of lots 7 , 8 , and 9, Block L , of the
Seashore Colony Tract (APN 045 -023 -11).
The Pacific Ocean shoreline is located approximately 600 feet southwest of the
property (see Site Location Map, Figure 1 ).
The subject lot consists of a relatively flat, planar lot with no significant slopes on or
adjacent to the site.
Currently, the lot is occupied by a two -story residence and a one-story cottage
residence, both situated on a graded level pads . An attached two -car garage is located
in the southern half of the property as the first floor of the two-story residence and is
accessed by the rear alley. The existing site layout is shown in Figure 2, herein .
All structures are supported on continuous perimeter footings with a combination of
slab-on -grade and raised wood floors .
PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL RE -DEVELOPMENT (Duplex)
Based on our discussions with the site owner and the project assistant , Katelynn
Rodgers with Brion Jeannette Architecture, the proposed residential development shall
include the demolition of the existing structures, and the construction of a new three -
story residential duplex in its place .
Additionally, it is our understanding that a subterranean basement is planned. The
limits of the basement footprint and depths were not made available at this time.
However , specifications for secant system shoring and basement walls are included
herein.
We assume that the proposed building will consist of wood -frame and masonry block
construction or building materials of similar type and load. The building foundations will

consist of a combination of isolated and continuous spread footings. Loads on the
footings are unknown, but are expected to be less than 2,500 and 2,000 pounds per
square foot on the isolated and continuous footings, respectively. If actual loads
exceed these assumed values, we should be contacted to evaluate whether revisions of
this report are necessary. It is our understanding that the grade of the site is not
expected to vary significantly, with maximum regrades consisting of approximately 1 to
2 feet in the building areas.
Based on the topographic and boundary survey, the site elevation is approximately 12
ft. above MSL (see Plot Plan, herein). Based on the preliminary plans, the proposed
finish floor elevation shall be 9+ ft. above mean sea level (MSL) to conform with City
and United States FEMA flood elevation requirements.
Note: The precise determination, measuring, and documenting of the site elevations,
hub locations, property boundaries, etc., is the responsibility of the project licensed land
surveyor. The site survey was not available at the time of this report issuance.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
Our subsurface exploration consisted of the excavation of one (1) exploratory boring (B-
1) to a depth of 10.5 feet below grade (b.g.) and one CPT probe (CPT-1) to a depth of
50.73 ft b.g. (continuous soil profile). Prior to drilling, the underground detection and
markup service (Underground Service Alert of Southern California) was ordered and
completed under DigAlert Confirmation No. A181690915-00A.
Representative bulk and relatively undisturbed soil samples were obtained for labora-
tory testing. Additionally, the laboratory data for 7210 W Oceanfront, the adjacent
property to the south of the proposed residence, shall be included herein as additional
data. Geologic/CPT logs of the soil boring/probe are included in Appendix A.
The borings were continuously logged by a registered geologist from our firm who
obtained soil samples for geotechnical laboratory analysis. The approximate location of
the borings are shown on Figure 2, Plot Plan.
Geotechnical soil samples were obtained using a modified California sampler filled with
2 d inch diameter, 1-inch tall brass rings. Bulk samples were obtained by collecting
representative bore hole cuttings. Locations of geotechnical samples and other data
are presented on the boring logs in Appendix A.
The soils were visually classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System.
Classifications are shown on the boring logs included in Appendix A.

SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
The site soil and geologic conditions are as follows:
Seepage and Groundwater
According to the Orange County Water District (OCWD), there are no water
wells located within the general vicinity of the subject property. The Pacific
Ocean is located approximately 600 feet southwest of the property.
Our data indicates that the perched groundwater encountered is subject to
significant tidal fluctuations. Seepage or surface water ponding was not noted
on the subject site at the time of our study. Groundwater was encountered in
our test excavation at a depth of approximately 9 feet b.g..
The tidal fluctuations were further verified from reading of our nearby
110 Sonora Street, Newport Beach, CA

piezometer well installed on April 1, 2016 at the end of Sonora Street (at the
beach entry). Based on our review of the on-site piezometric data, the
groundwater highs mimic the tidal highs in the nearby seashores, and
groundwater lows drop slightly below mean sea level. From a construction
standpoint, any excavations advanced down to within the tidal zones should be
expected to experience severe caving.
A tidal chart for the date of the subsurface investigation, June 25, 2018, is
presented as Figure 4, herein.
Geologic Setting
According to a United States Geological Survey (USGS) Map of the Newport
Beach Quadrangle the site is approximately 12 feet above Mean Sea Level
(MSL). Regionally, the site is located within the western boundary of the
Coastal Plain of Orange County. The Coastal Plain lies within the southwest
portion of the Los Angeles Basin and consists of semi-consolidated marine and
non-marine deposits ranging in age from Miocene to recent. The western
boundary of the Coastal Plain, in which the site is located, is referred to as the
Tustin Plain. It is bound by the Santa Ana Mountains to the northeast and the
San Joaquin Hills to the southeast.
Based on available geologic maps the site is underlain by a thin mantle of
hydraulic fill soils and/or engineered fill. The shallow soil layer is underlain by
Quaternary-age marine deposits which are described as clean beach sands.
Below the artificial fill, the site is generally underlain by Eolian beach sands (Qe)
and old paralic deposits (Qop, see reference No. 2).
The old paralic deposits are underlain by massive bedrock of the Monterey
Formation (Tm). Roadside exposures of massive bedrock of the Monterey
Formation (Tm) are visible on the inland side of East Pacific Coast Highway
less than ½ kilometers north of the site (Banning Ranch and Dover Shores
bluffs).
A Geologic Map is presented as Figure 3, herein (reference: “Geologic Map of
the San Bernardino and Santa Ana 30' X 60' Quadrangles, California,” Version
1.0, compiled by Douglas M. Morton and Fred K. Miller, dated 2006).
CPT-1 was advanced on June 18, 2018 by Kehoe Testing & Engineering, under
the supervision of a representative of EGA Consultants. The probe push
reached a total depth of 50.73 feet b.g. (geologic refusal under a 500-ton point
load). Copies of the data output results of the Liquefaction Analysis are found
in Appendix E, Liquefaction Analysis.

Based on the geologic map (Figure 3) correlation with the on-site CPT probe
advanced on June 18, 2018, bedrock of the Monterey Formation (Tm) was likely
encountered at approximately 40 feet below grade.
Faulting
A review of available geologic records indicates that no active faults cross the
subject property (reference No. 2).
Seismicity
The seismic hazards most likely to impact the subject site is ground shaking
following a large earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood (onshore), Palos
Verdes (offshore), San Joaquin Hills Blind Thrust, Whittier-Elsinore, or
Cucamonga Faults.
The fault distances, probable magnitudes, and horizontal accelerations are

bedrock (Tm/Tc). For design purposes, two-thirds of the maximum anticipated
bedrock acceleration may be assumed for the repeatable ground acceleration.
The effects of seismic shaking can be mitigated by adhering to the 2016
California Building Code or the standards of care established by the Structural
Engineers Association of California.
With respect to this hazard, the site is comparable to others in this general area
in similar geologic settings. The grading specifications and guidelines outlined in
Appendix C of the referenced report are in part, intended to mitigate seismic
shaking. These guidelines conform to the industry standard of care and from a
geotechnical standpoint, no additional measures are warranted.
Based on our review of the “Seismic Zone Map,” published by the California
Department of Mines and Geology in conjunction with Special Publication 117A,
there are no earthquake landslide zones on or adjacent to the site. The
proposed development shall be designed in accordance with seismic
considerations contained in the 2016 CBC and the City of Newport Beach
requirements.
Based on Chapter 16 of the 2016 CBC and on Maps of Known Active Near-
Source Zones in California and Adjacent Portions of Nevada (ASCE 7-10
Standard), the following parameters may be considered:

copies of the USGS Design Maps Detailed Report, Appendix D, herein).
FINDINGS
Subsurface Soils
As encountered in our test borings, the site is underlain by sandy fill and native
materials as follows:
Fill (Af)
Fill soils were encountered in each of the borings to a depth of
approximately two to three feet b.g. The fill soils consist generally of fine to
very fine, dry, loose to medium dense, silty sands with trace shell
fragments. The expansion potential of the fill soils was judged to be very
low (E.I. = 0) when exposed to an increase in moisture content.
Hydraulic and Native Sands (Qe)
Underlying the fill materials are hydraulic and native sands as encountered
in each of the test borings (B-1, B-2, and CPT-1). The native sands are
underlain by old paralic (Qop), and Monterey Formation (Tm) bedrock
consisting of medium dense to very dense, oxidized, fine to medium
grained, moderately to well-cemented sand and silty sand to the maximum
depths explored.
Based on the geologic map (Figure 3) correlation with the on-site CPT probe
advanced on June 18, 2018, bedrock of the Monterey Formation (Tm) was likely
encountered at approximately 40 feet below grade.
Based on the laboratory results dated July 9, 2018, the site maximum dry
density is 111.0 pcf at an optimum moisture content of 11.5 % (per ASTM D
1557 – the complete laboratory reports are presented in Appendix B, herein).
LIQUEFACTION ANALYSIS (Per SP117A)
Liquefaction of soils can be caused by strong vibratory motion in response to
earthquakes. Both research and historical data indicate that loose, granular
sandy soils are susceptible to liquefaction, while the stability of rock, gravels,
clays, and silts are not significantly affected by vibratory motion. Liquefaction is
generally known to occur only in saturated or near saturated granular soils. The
site is underlain by sandy fill, old paralic deposits, and bedrock of the Monterey
Formation.

Project No. SP130.1

PA2019-029
It is our understanding that the current City policy, has assigned a seismic
settlement potential of one (1.0) inch in the upper ten feet, and three (3.0)
inches for soil depths of ten to fifty feet. In the event settlement values exceed
these threshold values, then additional analysis and/or additional mitigation is
required.
The CPT testing was performed in accordance with the “Standard Test Method
for Performing Electronic Friction Cone and Piezocone Penetration Testing of
Soils,” (ASTM D5778-12). The seismically induced settlement for the proposed
structure was evaluated based on the “Soil Liquefaction During Earthquakes” by
I.M. Idriss and R.W. Boulanger, dated September 8, 2008.
The analysis was provided by two 10½ -feet deep 4 “ diameter hand-auger
borings, and a 50 feet deep 1.7" diameter CPT probe advanced on June 18,
2018. The boring and probe locations are shown in the Plot Plan, Figure 2,
herein.
The soil boring was continuously logged by a certified engineering geologist of
our firm.
The computations and results of our Liquefaction Analysis, based on CPT blow
counts of Boring CPT-1, are attached in Appendix E, herein. The seismically
induced settlement analysis was evaluated based on methods published in the
references Nos. “a” through “j” (see “Associated References”, herein). The
liquefaction and seismic settlement calculations indicate seismic settlement
(includes dry and saturated sands) in the upper 50.73 feet is less than 1.0 inch,
and hence shallow mitigation methods for liquefaction may be implemented per
City Code Policy (No. CBC 1803.5.11-2 last revised 7/3/2014).
Based on our liquefaction analysis, and in accordance with the City of Newport
Beach Policy No. CBC 1803.5.11-12 (NBMC, Chapter 15), we recommend the
following mitigative methods to minimize the effects of shallow liquefaction:
1. Tie all pad footings with grade beams.
2. All footings should be a minimum of 24 inches deep, below grade.
3. Continuous footings should be reinforced with two No. 5 rebar (two at the
top and two at the bottom).
4. Concrete slabs cast against properly compacted fill materials shall be a
minimum of 5 inches thick (actual) and reinforced with No. 4 rebar at 12
inches on center in both directions. The reinforcement shall be supported
on chairs to insure positioning of the reinforcement at mid-center in the
slab.
5. Dowel all footings to slabs with No. 4 bars at 24 inches on center.
6. Additionally, for cohesion treatment of the site sand fills in the upper
110 Sonora Street, Newport Beach, CA
Soils Report
Project No. SP130.1

PA2019-029
pad only; soil-cement shall be used in the upper 2½ feet . To achieve
this, during grading – dry bags of Portland Cement shall be mixed in the
scarified over-excavation bottoms and into each of the overlying fill lifts.
Water via a 2-inch hose shall be vigorously induced during the pad grading
operations. Vigorous watering and soil cement are not necessary for
basement excavation bottoms, if applicable.
The foundation specifications outlined above will act to decrease the potential
settlement due to liquefaction and/or seismically induced lateral deformation to
tolerable amounts. The above specifications eliminate the use of piles and
associated construction vibrations and groundwater displacement induced by
caisson drilling or pile-driving. If the above specifications are incorporated, the
proposed structure shall be stable and adequate for the intended uses and the
proposed construction will not adversely impact the subject or adjacent
properties.
Other Geologic Hazards
Other geologic hazards such as landsliding, or expansive soils, do not appear to
be evident at the subject site.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on our geotechnical study of the site, our review of available reports and
literature and our experience, it is our opinion that the proposed improvements at the
site are feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. There appear to be no significant
geotechnical constraints on-site that cannot be mitigated by proper planning, design,
and utilization of sound construction practices. The engineering properties of the soil
and native materials, and the surface drainage offer favorable conditions for site re-
development.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following sections discuss the principle geotechnical concerns which should be
considered for proper site re-development.
Earthwork
Grading and earthwork should be performed in accordance with the following
recommendations and the General Earthwork and Grading Guidelines included
in Appendix C. It is our understanding that the majority of grading will be limited
to the re-grading of the building pad for the proposed construction. In general,
it is anticipated that the removal of the upper 2½ feet within the building
footprint (slab-on-grade portion) will require removal and recompaction to
prepare the site for construction. The removals should be accomplished so that
110 Sonora Street, Newport Beach, CA
Soils Report
Project No. SP130.1
August 3, 2018 11
PA2019-029
all fill and backfill existing as part of the previous site use and demolition
operations are removed.
Where feasible, the limits of the pad fill shall be defined by a 2½ feet envelope
encompassing the building footprint. Care should be taken to protect the
adjacent property improvements.
A minimum one foot thick fill blanket should be placed throughout the exterior
improvements (approaches, parking and planter areas). The fill blanket will be
achieved by re-working (scarifying) the upper 12 inches of the existing grade.
Site Preparation
Prior to earthwork or construction operations, the site should be cleared of
surface structures and subsurface obstructions and stripped of any vegetation
in the areas proposed for development. Removed vegetation and debris should
then be disposed of off-site. A minimum of 2½ feet of the soils below existing
grade will require removal and recompaction in the areas to receive building pad
fill. Following removal, the excavated surface should be inspected by the soils
engineer or his designated representative prior to the placement of any fill in
footing trenches. Holes or pockets of undocumented fill resulting from removal
of buried obstructions discovered during this inspection should be filled with
suitable compacted fill.
Soil Cement- for upper pad only
At the time of the writing of this report, the site plan showing the limits of at-
grade and/or basement slab footprints were not available for our review. For
the upper building pads (if applicable), due to in situ dry, cohesionless soils, we
recommend approximately three (3) pallets (35 bags dry mix, each weighing 94
pounds and approximately 1.33 cubic yards) of Portland cement be blended
into the newly-placed fill. The first application of the Portland Cement shall be
placed on the bottom of the scarified over-excavation(s). This remedial
specification may be eliminated or reduced if suitable import fills are trucked-in.
This remedial recommendation does not apply to basement excavation
bottoms, where soil cement is not warranted.
Fills
The on-site soils are suitable for reuse as compacted fill, provided they are free
of organic materials, debris, and materials larger than six (6) inches in diameter.
After removal of any loose, compressible soils, all areas to receive fill and/or
other surface improvements should be scarified to a minimum depth of 12
inches, brought to at least 2 percent over optimum moisture conditions and
110 Sonora Street, Newport Beach, CA
Soils Report
Project No. SP130.1
August 3, 2018 12
PA2019-029
compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction (based on ASTM: D
1557). If necessary, import soils for near-surface fills should be predominately
granular, possess a low or very low expansion potential, and be approved by
the geotechnical engineer.
Lift thicknesses will be dependent on the size and type of equipment used. In
general, fill should be placed in uniform lifts not exceeding 8 inches. Placement
and compaction of fill should be in accordance with local grading ordinances
under the observation and testing of the geotechnical consultant. We
recommend that fill soils be placed at moisture contents at least 2 percent over
optimum (based on ASTM: D 1557).
We recommend that oversize materials (materials over 6 inches) should they be
encountered, be stockpiled and removed from the site.
Trench Backfill
The on-site soils may be used as trench backfill provided they are screened of
rock sizes over 4 inches in dimension and organic matter. Trench backfill
should be compacted in uniform lifts (not exceeding 6 inches in compacted
thickness) by mechanical means to at least 90 percent relative compaction
(ASTM: D 1557).
Geotechnical Parameters
Note: At the time of the writing of this report, the site plan showing the limits of at-grade
and/or basement slab footprints were not available for our review.
The following Geotechnical parameters may used in the design of the proposed
structure (also, see “Liquefaction Analysis” section, above):
Foundation Design
Structures on properly compacted fill may be supported by conventional,
continuous or isolated spread footings. All footings should be a minimum of 24
inches deep (measured in the field below lowest adjacent grade). Footing
widths shall me an minimum 15 inches and 18 inches for interior beams and
perimeter footings respectively.
At this depth (24 inches) footings founded in fill materials may be designed for
an allowable bearing value of 2,000 and 2,500 psf (for dead-plus-live load) for
continuous wall and isolated spread footings, respectively. These values may
be increased by one-third for loads of short duration, including wind or seismic
forces.

Project No. SP130.1
August 3, 2018 13
PA2019-029
Continuous perimeter footings should be reinforced with No. 5 rebar (two at the
top and two at the bottom). Reinforcement requirements may be increased if
recommended by the project structural engineer. In no case should they be
decreased from the previous recommendations.
Mat Foundation Design - Basement
Due to anticipated high tide waters and cohesionless sands during construction,
a mat slab foundation system is recommended for the proposed basement.
Mat slabs founded in compacted fill or competent native materials may be
designed for an allowable bearing value of 2,500 psf (for dead-plus-live load).
These values may be increased by one-third for loads of short duration,
including wind or seismic forces. The actual design of the foundation and slabs
should be completed by the structural engineer. This is also and option for the
at-grade, upper pad structures.
MIN. DESIGN ITEM RECOMMENDATIONS
Mat foundations:
allowable bearing pressure:2,500 psf
passive lateral resistence:250 psf per foot
mat slab thickness:min. 12 inches with thickened edges (+ 6 inches)
steel reinforcement:no. 5 bars @ 12" o.c. each way, top and bottom
coefficient of friction:0.30
Modulus of Subgrade Reaction: ks = 90 lbs/in3
The mat slab shall be directly underlain by a min. 2-inch thick layer of washed
sand, underlain by min. 15-mil Stego wrap (or equiv., lapped and sealed),
underlain by 4 inches of gravel (¾-inch crushed rock), underlain by competent
native materials. The precise sequence, composition and thickness of “ballast”,
“weight” or “waste” slabs shall be determined by the structural engineer.
Joints in walls and floors, and between the wall and floor, and
penetrations of the wall and floor shall be made watertight using suitable
methods and materials (e.g. bentonite “water stops”).
Reinforcement requirements may be increased if recommended by the project
structural engineer. In no case should they be decreased from the previous
recommendations.
Cement Type for Concrete in Contact with On-Site Earth Materials
Concrete mix design should be based on sulfate testing with Section 1904.2 of
the 2016 CBC. Preliminary laboratory testing indicates the site soils possess
negligible sulfate exposure.

As a conservative approach, we recommend cement w ith a minimum strength
f'c of 4,000 psi be used for concrete in contact with on-site earth materials
(does not apply to temporary shoring "soft" piles which may be reduced to a
min. 1,000 psi).
Settlement
Uti lizing the design recommendations presented herein, we anticipate that the
majority of any post-grading settlement will occur during construction activities.
We estimate that the total settlement for the proposed structure will be on the
order of 1 inch. Differential settlement is not expected to exceed 1 inch in 30
feet. These settlement values are expected to be within tolerable limits for
proper ly designed and constructed foundations.
Lateral Load Resistance
Footings founded in fill materials may be designed for a passive lateral bearing
pressure of 250 pounds per square foot per foot of depth. A coefficient of
friction against sliding between concrete and soil of 0.30 may be assumed.
Slabs-on-grade
Concrete slabs cast against properly compacted fill materials shall be a
minimum of 5 inches thick (actual) and reinforced with No. 4 rebar at 12 inches
on center in both directions . The slabs shal l be dowe led into the footings us ing
No. 4 bars at 24 inches on center. The reinforcement shall be supported on
chairs to insure positioning of the reinforcement at mid-center in the slab.
Interior slabs shall be underlain by a minimum 15 mil visqueen moisture barrier
("Stego Wrap", or equivalent), with all laps sealed, over 4 inches% -inch

crushed rock (see "Capillary Break," below).
Some slab cracking due to shrinkage should be anticipated. The potential for
the slab cracking may be reduced by careful control of water/cement ratios .
The contractor should take appropriate curing precautions during the pouring of
concrete in hot weather to minimize cracking of slabs. We recommend that a
slipsheet (or equivalent) be utilized if crack-sensitive flooring is planned directly
on concrete slabs. All slabs should be designed in accordance with structural
considerations .
Capillary Break Below Interior Slabs -Upper Building Pad Only
In accordance with the 2016 California Green Building Standards Code Section
4 .505 .2.1, we provide the following building specification for the subject site
(living area and garages slabs):
Concrete building slabs shall be directly underlain by a minimum15 mil-thick
moisture barrier (e.g. "Stego Wrap ", or an equivalent product), with all laps
sealed, underlain by 4 inches of% -inch gravel. In no case shall we
approve sand placed directly on top of the gravel layer.
The above specification meets or exceeds the Section 5 .505.2.1 requirement.
New Garage Grade Beams
The grade beams, reinforced continuously with the garage footings , should be
constructed across the garage entrance , tying together the ends of the garage
footings. The grade beams should be embedded at the same depth as the
adjacent perimeter footings . The grade beams/thickened slab edges should
consist of a clean, cold joint (disregard for monolithic pours).
Basement Shoring Installation Recommendations
The precise limits of the basement footprint and depths were not made
available at this time . At any rate, it is our understanding that the shoring
system will consist of steel "H" beam soldier piles and slurry-backfilled "soft"
piles. The soldier piles should not be driven or vibrated into place due to the
possible damage that could occur to nearby structures . It is expected that slight
to moderate caving may occur within the pre-drilled holes above the
groundwater elevations . Below the ground water table, moderate to severe
caving of the beach sand deposits is expected . To mitigate the potential for this
caving, the soldier pile excavations should be drilled using casing and may also
require a drilling slurry additive such as Slurry Pro CDP. The casing may be
advanced by drilling ahead of the casing and then "crowding down " the casing;
however, the drill auger should not be advanced more than 2 to 3 feet below the
bottom of the casing as the hole is drilled . It is also recommended that special
11 0 Sonora Street, Newpon Beach, CA
Soil s Repon
Project No . SP I30. I
Aug ust 3, 20 18 16
PA2019-029
drill augers ( i.e., an auger with an overcut tooth) be used that permit the
groundwater to flow relatively unrestricted past the augers as they are being
lifted so that suction is not created. This is expected to reduce the potential for
piping of the sands beneath the bottom of the casing as the auger is being
withdrawn. The addition of a drilling slurry additive is for the purpose of sealing
the sidewalls of the excavation and helping in balancing the differential
hydrostatic pressure between the slurry and the surrounding saturated soil.
Once a hard pile boring is advanced to its recommended depth, a steel soldier
pile should be place immediately within the boring and the boring then slurry-
backfilled.
The concrete and slurry should be placed into the soldier pile excavation from
the bottom up using a pump and tremie pipe. The bottom of the tremie pipe
should be kept at least 2 to 3 feet below the level of the rising concrete or slurry.
The concrete should be thoroughly vibrated to remove any entrapped air. The
soil and water mixture dispersed by the concrete and slurry should be pumped
into a suitable disposal container. After the concrete and slurry is poured, the
casing may be removed. In some difficult cases, the casing top should be
notched to allow for “spinning”; which may improve the extraction workability.
Shoring: Temporary Secant Wall System
The precise limits of the basement footprint and depths were not made
available at this time. At any rate, for the limits of the proposed basement for
the bayfront property, we recommend the installation of secant walls which will
provide the advantage of cutting-off groundwater and greatly reducing or
eliminating the need for de-watering. The secant walls would be constructed
prior to the basement excavation. Hard piles and soft piles would be interlocked
and each drilled to the target depths. The soft piles (non-reinforced) are drilled
first. The secant wall hard piles are then drilled and reinforced using soldier
beams. Tremie tubes shall be deployed for concrete placed below the water
table. The tremie application displaces groundwater without inducing a
hydraulic cone of depression. The secant walls and weighted (“suppression”)
slab induces no influence to the water table and eliminates potential problems
with “draw-down”. The secant wall system, weighted mat slab, soil
movement monitoring details and waterproofing shall be provided by the
design engineer(s).
We recommend the design engineer assume hydrostatic pressure up to 7.0 ft.
above MSL (NAVD 88).
We recommend cement with a minimum strength f’c of 1,000 psi be used for
the temporary concrete elements. We recommend an approximate 2% blend of
water resistant additive such as Xypex be used for the concrete pours.
The finalized shoring and Secant Wall Plans should be provided by the design

engineer and reviewed by EGA Consultants. The geotechnical consultant
should be present during the excavation phases of the project to observe the
soil conditions and make additional recommendations if necessary.
Dewatering
Dewatering can be accomplished by installing a series of well-points and/or
sumps and pumps within the basement excavation. Dewatering through the
use of a number of electric submersible pumps surrounded in gravel filler and
filter fabric have been adequate at similar sites in the beachfront vicinity.
Pumped groundwater may require special treatment or clarification prior to
discharge back into the site strata, ocean or into the storm water system. This
should be determined by the design team and by governing regulatory agency.
A Dewatering Plan should be provided by the design engineer and reviewed by
EGA Consultants.
#Groundwater and saturated soils were encountered at 7 to 12 ft. below
existing grade. However, the historic high salt water level is at the ground
surface which can be expected due to storm surge. We recommend a min.
of 8 (eight) monitoring points installed by the Licensed Surveying company.
At least four of the monitoring points shall be established near each of the
side yard property lines on the drilled shoring piles. The settlement
monitoring points shall be monitored for horizontal and vertical movement
prior and subsequent to the completion of construction, and on a daily basis
during the grading and basement construction.
#Basement floor slabs below the water table are planned. We recommend
the following be incorporated into the Foundation Plan:
Basement Slabs
To counter against the effects of buoyancy, for the basement floors we
recommend a min. 30 inch thick weighted slab at the bottom of the basement
excavation. The weighted (aka “suppression”, “waste”, “ballast, aka
“buoyancy”) slab shall be overlain by waterproofing (e.g. “Carlisle Waterproofing
Products”) which extends up the wall faces, and then overlain by a min. 4-inch
“protection slab” and then overlain by a 18-inch structural mat slab. The
protection slab is crucial in preserving the underlying waterproofing from
puncture or damage during construction. The mat slab shall be reinforced with
a minimum No. 5 bar placed 12 inches on-center in both directions. Steel
reinforcement is not required for the protection slab or the waste slab.
We recommend a min. 4,000 psi concrete pour. The mat slab shall be
designed by the project structural engineer.
The presence of the weighted suppression and mat slabs; as well as the other
foundation specifications outlined herein will act to decrease the potential

Project No. SP130.1

settlement due to liquefaction and/or seismically induced lateral deformation to
tolerable amounts. Generally, a moderate risk for the potential effects of
liquefaction, seismic events, tsunamis and/or lateral spreading is assumed by
the client. Some cosmetic damage to structures may be unavoidable during
large earthquakes.
The proposed structure, should however, be designed to resist structural
collapse and thereby provide reasonable protection from serious injury,
catastrophic property damage and loss of life. To provide mitigation for the
potential effects of liquefaction, seismic events, tsunamis and/or lateral
spreading we recommend (1) the structure shall be placed either on a
compacted fill mat or competent native materials; (2) all footings shall be a
minimum 24 inches below adjacent grade; (3) foundations shall be continuous
and tied together with grade beams; (4) foundations shall be reinforced with
four #5 bars, two top and two bottom; (5) the 4,000 psi concrete min. 18 inch
thick mat foundation slab placed above a minimum 6 inch thick protection slab
placed over a 30 inch thick waste slab; (6) footings shall be doweled into slabs
with #4 bars at 24 inches on-center; and (7) asphalt rubberized waterproofing of
all basement walls and basement floor.
Basement Retaining Walls and Shoring Parameters
The structural engineer should consider wether some portions of the secant
walls should be designed for permanent structures (e.g. landscaped elements,
exterior retaining walls/stairways). After the secant walls are constructed, the
basement walls will be designed as permanent structures. In the construction
sequence, the shoring is provided first, then the construction of the basement
retaining walls. The following equivalent fluid pressures may be used in the
design of the site basement walls and shoring assuming embedment in
competent native soils.
These EFP values assume groundwater at the tidal high elevation equal to 7.0
ft. above MSL (NAVD 88) and include hydrostatic loads below the elevation of
7.0 ft above MSL:
Active Pressures 70 pcf
At-Rest Pressures 80 pcf
Passive Pressures 200 pcf
Coefficient of Friction 0.30
For the EFP values above 7.0 ft. elevation (NAVD 88) we recommend the
following (vadose zone):
Active Pressures 40 pcf
At-Rest Pressures 55 pcf
110 Sonora Street, Newport Beach, CA
Soils Report
Project No. SP130.1
August 3, 2018 19
PA2019-029
Retaining wall footings founded in competent native soils may be designed for
an allowable bearing value of 2,500 pounds per square foot for dead-plus-live
load. Sliding friction and passive resistance may be combined without reduction
in calculating the total lateral resistance. Passive pressures may be assumed
to become constant at a value of 5 times the above values below a depth of 10
feet.
The limits and depths of the basement footprints were not available for our review.
However, for bidding purposes, assume shoring secant hard piles shall extend a
minimum 35 ft. below current ground level.
Soldier Pile Installation Observations
All soldier pile drilling and installation should be observed by the project
geotechnical consultant to verify that they are cast against the anticipated
geotechnical conditions, that pile excavations are properly prepared, that proper
dimensions are achieved, and that proper installation procedures are followed.
Waterproofing
Basement wall and slabs shall be waterproofed in accordance with section 1805
of the 2016 CBC. Permanent waterproofing of the basement slab and
basement walls is required. Basement walls and basement floors shall be
designed to withstand anticipated hydrostatic pressure with the water level at
the current ground surface level. Waterproofing shall consist of rubberized
asphalt, polymer-modified asphalt, butyl rubber, or other approved materials
capable of bridging non-structural cracks (e.g. “Carlisle Waterproofing
Products”). Special materials may be required due to the corrosive effects of
seawater. Joint in the membrane shall be lapped and sealed in an approved
manner. Protection board shall be used to protect the membrane during and
after backfilling. Joints and protrusions in walls and floors, and between the
wall and floor, and penetrations of the wall and floor shall be made watertight
using suitable methods and materials (e.g. bentonite “Water Stops”).
The contractors shall strictly follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the
for surface preparation and use of water-proofing products. A third-party
waterproofing expert shall be retained to inspect and verify the
waterproofing installation.
Seismic Loads
In accordance with Section 1803.5.12 of the 2016 CBC, for design purposes, a
seismic earth pressure of 22 pcf (equivalent fluid pressure) may be used for the
basement wall design. This pressure is additional to the static earth pressures
and should be considered as an inverted triangular pressure distribution, with
the maximum pressure occurring at the top of the wall (reference: Mononobe-
Okabe equation and PEEP Report dated October, 2008).

Exterior Slabs-on-grade (Hardscape)
Concrete slabs cast against properly compacted fill materials shall be a
minimum of 4 inches thick (actual) and reinforced with No. 3 rebar at 18 inches
on center in both directions. The reinforcement shall be supported on chairs to
insure positioning of the reinforcement at mid-center in the slab.
Control joints should be provided at a maximum spacing of 10 feet on center in
two directions for slabs and at 6 feet on center for sidewalks. Control joints are
intended to direct cracking.
Expansion or felt joints should be used at the interface of exterior slabs on
grade and any fixed structures to permit relative movement.
Some slab cracking due to shrinkage should be anticipated. The potential for
the slab cracking may be reduced by careful control of water/cement ratios.
The contractor should take appropriate curing precautions during the pouring of
concrete in hot weather to minimize cracking of slabs.
Surface Drainage
Surface drainage shall be controlled at all times. Positive surface drainage
should be provided to direct surface water away from structures and toward the
street or suitable drainage facilities. Ponding of water should be avoided
adjacent to the structures. Recommended minimum gradient is 2 percent for
unpaved areas and one percent for concrete/paved areas. Roof gutter
discharge should be directed away from the building areas through solid PVC
pipes to suitable discharge points. Area drains should be provided for planter
areas and drainage shall be directed away from the top of slopes.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING
It is recommended that no clearing of the site or any grading operation be performed without
the presence of a representative of this office. An on site pre-grading meeting should be
arranged between the soils engineer and the grading contractor prior to any construction.
GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATION AND TESTING DURING CONSTRUCTION
We recommend that a qualified geotechnical consultant be retained to provide geotechnical
engineering services, including geotechnical observation/testing, during the construction phase
of the project. This is to verify the compliance with the design, specifications and or
recommendations, and to allow design changes in the event that subsurface conditions differ
from those anticipated.

GENERAL EARTHWORKS AND GRADING GUIDELINES
PA2019-029
GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING GUIDELINES
I. GENERAL
These guidelines present general procedures and requirements for grading and
earthwork including preparation of areas to be filled, placement of fill, installation of
subdrains, and excavations. The recommendations contained in the geotechnical
report are a part of the earthwork and grading specifications and should supersede the
provisions contained herein in the case of conflict. Evaluations performed by the
consultant during the course of grading may result in new recommendations which
could supersede these specifications or the recommendations of the geotechnical
report.
II. EARTHWORK OBSERVATION AND TESTING
Prior to commencement of grading, a qualified geotechnical consultant should be
employed for the purpose of observing earthwork procedures and testing the fills for
conformance with the recommendations of the geotechnical report and these
specifications. The consultant is to provide adequate testing and observation so that
he may determine that the work was accomplished as specified. It should be the
responsibility of the contractor to assist the consultant and keep him apprised of work
schedules and changes so that the consultant may schedule his personnel accordingly.
The contractor is to provide adequate equipment and methods to accomplish the work
in accordance with applicable grading codes or agency ordinances, and these
specifications. If in the opinion of the consultant, unsatisfactory conditions are resulting
in a quality of work less than required in these specifications, the consultant may reject
the work and recommend that construction be stopped until the conditions are rectified.
Maximum dry density tests used to determine the degree of compaction should be
performed in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials Test
Method ASTM: D 1557.

III. PREPARATION OF AREAS TO BE FILLED
1. Clearing and Grubbing: All brush, vegetation, and debris should be removed and
otherwise disposed of.
2. Processing: The existing ground which is evaluated to be satisfactory for support
of fill should be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches. Existing ground which is
not satisfactory should be overexcavated as specified in the following section.
Scarification should continue until the soils are broken down and free of large clay
lumps or clods and until the working surface is reasonably uniform and free of
uneven features which would inhibit uniform compaction.
3. Overexcavation: Soft, dry, spongy, or otherwise unsuitable ground, extending to
such a depth that surface processing cannot adequately improve the condition,
should be over excavated down to firm ground, approved by the consultant.
4. Moisture Conditioning: Over excavated and processed soils should be watered,
dried-back, blended, and/or mixed, as necessary to attain a uniform moisture
content near optimum.
5. Recompaction: Over excavated and processed soils which have been properly
mixed and moisture-conditioned should be recompacted to a minimum relative
compaction of 90 percent.
6. Benching: Where fills are to be placed on ground with slopes steeper than 5:1
(horizontal to vertical units), the ground should be benched. The lowest bench
should be a minimum of 15 feet wide, and at least 2 feet deep, expose firm
material, and be approved by the consultant. Other benches should be excavated
in firm material for a minimum width of 4 feet. Ground sloping flatter than 5:1
should be benched or otherwise over excavated when considered necessary by
the consultant.

PA2019-029
7. Approval: All areas to receive fill, including processed areas, removal areas, and
toe-of-fill benches should be approved by the consultant prior to fill placement.
IV. FILL MATERIAL
1. General: Material to be placed as fill should be free of organic matter and other
deleterious substances, and should be approved by the consultant. Soils of poor
gradation, expansion, or strength characteristics should be placed in areas
designated by the consultant or mixed with other soils until suitable to serve as
satisfactory fill material.
2. Oversize: Oversize material defined as rock, or other irreducible material with a
maximum dimension greater than 12 inches, should not be buried or placed in fill,
unless the location, materials, and disposal methods are specifically approved by
the consultant. Oversize disposal operations should be such that nesting of
oversize material does not occur, and such that the oversize material is completely
surrounded by compacted or densified fill. Oversize material should not be placed
within 10 feet vertically of finish grade or within the range of future utilities or
underground construction, unless specifically approved by the consultant.
3. Import: If importing of fill material is necessary for grading, the import material
should be approved by the geotechnical consultant.
V. FILL PLACEMENT AND COMPACTION
1. Fill Lifts: Approved fill material should be placed in areas prepared to receive fill in
near-horizontal layers not exceeding 6 inches in compacted thickness. The
consultant may approve thicker lifts if testing indicates the grading procedures are
such that adequate compaction is being achieved with lifts of greater thickness.
Each layer shall be spread evenly and should be thoroughly mixed during
spreading to attain uniformity of material and moisture in each layer.
2. Fill Moisture: Fill layers at a moisture content less than optimum should be
110 Sonora Street, Newport Beach, CA
Soils Report
Project No. SP130.1
August 3, 2018 3
PA2019-029
watered and mixed, and wet fill layers should be aerated by scarification or
blended with drier material. Moisture-conditioning and mixing of fill layers should
continue until the fill material is at a uniform moisture content at or near optimum.
3. Compaction of Fill: After each layer has been evenly spread, moisture-
conditioned, and mixed, it should be uniformly compacted to not less than 90
percent of maximum dry density. Compaction equipment should be adequately
sized and either specifically designed for soil compaction or of proven reliability, to
efficiently achieve the specified degree of compaction.
4. Fill Slopes: Compacting of slopes should be accomplished, in addition to normal
compacting procedures, by backrolling of slopes with sheepsfoot rollers at
frequent increments of 2 to 3 feet in fill elevation gain, or by other methods
producing satisfactory results. At the completion of grading, the relative
compaction of the slope out to the slope face shall be at least 90 percent.
5. Compaction Testing: Field tests to check the fill moisture and degree of
compaction will be performed by the consultant. The location and frequency of
tests should be at the consultant's discretion. In general, the tests should be
taken at an interval not exceeding 2 feet in vertical rise and/or 1,000 cubic yards of
embankment.
VI. SUBDRAIN INSTALLATION
Subdrain systems, if required, should be installed in approved ground and should not
be changed or modified without the approval of the consultant. The consultant,
however, may recommend and upon approval, direct changes in subdrain line, grade,
or material.
VII. EXCAVATION
Excavations and cut slopes should be examined during grading. If directed by the
consultant, further excavation or overexcavation and refilling of cut areas should be

performed, and/or remedial grading of cut slopes performed. Where fill-over-cut
slopes are to be graded, unless otherwise approved, the cut portion of the slope should
be made and approved by the consultant prior to placement of materials for
construction of the fill portion of the slope.
