W.O. 629221-01
Geotechnical Engineering Investigation of
Proposed New Residence at 2596
Crestview Drive, Newport Beach,
California
Pursuant to your request, a geotechnical engineering investigation has been performed at the subject
site. The purposes of the investigation were to determine the general engineering characteristics of
the near surface soils on and underlying the site and to provide recommendations for the design of
foundations and underground improvements.
The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based upon the understanding of
the proposed development and the analyses of the data obtained from our field and laboratory
testing programs.
This report completes our scope of geotechnical engineering services authorized by you in the
November 3, 2021 proposal.
SITE DEVELOPMENT
Our understanding is that the client owns both 2596 Crestview Drive and the next door property
2592 Arbor Drive, and is proposing to demolish the existing residential structures, merge the two
lots, and develop a two-story residential structure. Structural loads are anticipated to be normal
for residential construction. Significant grade changes are not anticipated.
A conceptual floor plan is depicted on a plan provide by the project architect, C.J. Light Associates,
and is attached as Figure 2.1.
As the project proceeds through design and permitting phases it is the responsibility of the client
and the project designers to understand the limitations of this initial report and to understand that
additional field exploration, analysis, and addendum reports may be needed to address actual
proposed construction, which could result in recommendations that differ significantly from
those presented within this report.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of the study was to obtain subsurface information within the project site area and to
provide recommendations pertaining to the proposed development and included the following:
1. A cursory reconnaissance of the site and surrounding areas.

2. Excavation of two exploratory borings to determine the near subsurface soil conditions and
groundwater conditions.
3. Collection ofrepresentative bulk and/or undisturbed soil samples for laboratory analysis.
4. Laboratory analyses of soil samples including determination of in-situ and maximum density, in-
situ and optimum moisture content, shear strength characteristics, expansion potential, and sulfate
content.
5. Preparation of this report presenting results of our investigation and recommendations of the
proposed development.
RECORD REVIEW
Records were searched through the City of Newport Beach online records system under the project
addresses 2596 Crestview Drive, and 2592 Arbor Drive, and the tract. No geotechnical records
were located.
Readers of this report are advised that a record search is not an exact science; it is limited by time
and resource constraints, incomplete records, ability of custodian of records to locate files, and
where records are located is only a limited interpretation of other consultant's work. Readers of
this report should perform their own review of City records to arrive at their own interpretations
and conclusions. Records reviewed can be accessed through the City website.
SITE CONDITIONS
The project sites are located at 2596 Crestview Drive and 2592 Arbor Drive, in the City of Newport
Beach, California, and are shown on the attached Site Vicinity Map, Figure 1.
The parcels are essentially level, pie shaped lots, bordered by Crestview Drive and Arbor Drive
where they meet, and developed residential properties to the south, east, and west.
The lots are currently developed with one and two-story single family residences, hardscape and
landscape. The proposed site configuration is further shown on the Geotechnical Site Sketch Plan,
Figure 2. The base map for this figure was obtained from the City of Newport Beach GIS Map
Viewer Database.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation was performed on December 10, 2021, consisting of the excavation of a
boring by limited access drilling equipment (for Boring No. 1) and a boring by hand auger
equipment (for Boring No. 2) at the locations shown on the attached Geotechnical Site Plan, Figure
2. As excavations progressed, a representative from this office visually classified the earth materials
encountered, and secured representative samples for laboratory testing.
Geotechnical characteristics of subsurface conditions were assessed by either driving a split spoon
ring sampler or an SPT sampler into the earth material.

December 17, 2021
Undisturbed samples for detailed testing in our laboratory were obtained from Boring No. 2 by
pushing or driving a sampling spoon into the earth material. The solid-barrel type spoon used has an
inside diameter of2.5 inches with a tapered cutting tip at the lower end and a ball valve at the upper
end.
The barrel is lined with thin brass rings, each one inch in length. The spoon penetrated into the earth
materials below the depth of borings approximately six inches. The central portion of this sample
was retained for testing. All samples in their natural field condition were sealed in airtight
containers and transported to the laboratory.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed for Boring No. 1, based on ASTM D1586. The
number of blows required for driving the sampler through three six-inch intervals is recorded. The
sum of the number of blows required for driving the last two six-inch intervals is referred to as the
standard penetration number "N".
Samples from Boring No. 1 were driven into the soil at the bottom of the borehole by means of
hammer blows. The hammer blows are given at the top of the drilling rod. The blows are by a
hammer weighing 140 pounds dropped a distance of 30 inches. Drive sampling was obtained at two
feet intervals in accordance with City guidelines. Considering that the upper three feet of the pad
area will be recompacted, SPT sampling commenced at three feet below grade.
For liquefaction analysis, CE of 1.0 (for safety hammer), Cs of 1.05 (for seven inch borehole
diameter), and Cs of 1.2 (for sampler without liners) are used to calculate corrected N values.
EARTH MATERIALS
Earth materials encountered within the exploratory borings were visually logged by a representative
of COAST GEOTECHNICAL, INC. The earth materials encountered were classified as artificial
fill underlain by native soils to the maximum depth explored.
Artificial fills encountered consisted of brown, dark brown, silty sand, with scattered seashells, fine
grained, abundant roots, dry to damp, and loose to medium dense. The fills were encountered to a
depth of about 1.5 to 2 feet below existing grade.
Native earth materials encountered consisted of tan, gray tan, and light gray, clean to slightly silty
sand, abundant seashells fine to coarse grained, damp to wet and medium dense to a maximum
depth explored of 12.5 feet.
Logs of the exploratory borings are presented on the appended Plates B and C.
The data presented on these logs is a simplification of actual subsurface conditions encountered
and applies only at the specific boring locations, time and date excavated. It is not warranted to
be representative of subsurface conditions at other times and locations.

GROUNDWATER
w. 0. 629221-01
December 17, 2021
Groundwater was encountered at seven feet below existing ground surface during the field
investigation. This groundwater level is subject to minor fluctuation due to tidal changes. Plate 1.2
in Appendix B shows the subject site area to have a historic high groundwater depth ofless than ten
feet below existing ground surface. In our liquefaction and seismic settlement analyses, a
groundwater elevation of five feet below ground surface is used for more conservative calculations
in accordance with City policy.
SEISMICITY
Southern California is located in an active seismic region. Moderate to strong earthquakes can
occur on numerous faults. The United States Geological Survey, California Division of Mines and
Geology, private consultants, and universities have been studying earthquakes in
Southern California for several decades. Early studies were directed toward earthquake prediction
estimation of the effects of strong ground shaking. Studies indicate that earthquake prediction is not
practical and not sufficiently accurate to benefit the general public. Governmental agencies are
shifting their focus to earthquake resistant structures as opposed to prediction. The purpose of the
code seismic design parameters is to prevent collapse during strong ground shaking.
Cosmetic damage should be expected.
Within the past 50 years, Southern California and vicinity have experienced an increase in seismic
activity beginning with the San Fernando earthquake in 1971. In 1987, a moderate earthquake
struck the Whittier area and was located on a previously unknown fault. Ground shaking from this
event caused substantial damage to the City of Whittier, and surrounding cities. The
January 17, 1994, Northridge earthquake was initiated along a previously unrecognized fault below
the San Fernando Valley. The energy released by the earthquake propagated to the southeast,
northwest, and northeast in the form of shear and compression waves, which caused the strong
ground shaking in portions of the San Fernando Valley, Santa Monica Mountains, Simi Valley,
City of Santa Clarita, and City of Santa Monica.
The numerous faults in Southern California include Holocene active, pre-Holocene active and
inactive faults. The criteria for these major groups are based on criteria developed by the
California Geological Survey (formerly known as California Division of Mines and Geology) for
the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone Program. By definition, a Holocene active fault is one
that has had surface displacement within Holocene time (about the last 11,700 years). A pre-
Holocene fault has demonstrated surface displacement during Quaternary time (approximately
the last 1.6 million years), but has had no known Holocene movement. Faults that have not
moved in the last 1.6 million years are considered inactive.
The site is not within a state-designated Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone for Holocene surface
fault rupture hazards. Nearby causative faults are as follows.
• Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone: The Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone is a broad zone of left-
stepping en echelon faults and folds striking southeastward from near Santa Monica across the
Los Angeles basin to Newport Beach. Altogether these various faults constitute a system more
COAST GEOTECHNICAL, INC.

Geotechnical Engineering Investigation

than 150 miles long that extends into Baja California, Mexico. Faults having similar trends and
projections occur offshore from San Clemente and San Diego (the Rose Canyon and La Nacion
Faults). A near-shore portion of the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone was the source of the
destructive 1933 Long Beach earthquake. The reported recurrence interval for a large event along
this fault zone is 1,200 to 1,300 years with an expected slip of one meter. This fault is found
within about lkm of the subject property.
• San Joaquin Hills Blind Thrust Fault: The seismic hazards in Southern California have been
further complicated with the recent realization that major earthquakes can occur on large thrust
faults that are concealed at depths between 5 to 20 km, referred to as "blind thrusts." The uplift
of the San Joaquin Hills is produced by a southwest dipping blind thrust fault that extends at
least 14 km from northwestern Huntington Mesa to Dana Point and comes to within 2 km of the
ground surface. Work by Grant et al. (1997 and 1999) suggest that uplift of the San Joaquin Hills
began in the Late Quaternary and continues during the Holocene. Uplift rates have been
estimated between 0.25 and 0.5 mm/yr. If the entire length of the fault ruptured, the earthquake
has been estimated to generate an Mw 6.8 event. This fault is found about 9.39km northeast of
the subject property.
We are of the opinion that the more active Newport Inglewood fault is the causative fault for the
subject site. The fault is located one kilometer to the southwest.
SEISMIC HAZARDS
The potential hazards to be evaluated with regard to seismic conditions include fault rupture,
landslides triggered by ground shaking, soil liquefaction, earthquake-induced vertical and lateral
displacements, earthquake-induced flooding due to the failure of water containment structures,
seiches, and tsunamis.
Fault Rupture
The project is not located within a currently designated Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zone (Bryant
and Hart, 2007). No known active faults are mapped on the site. Based on this consideration, the
potential for surface fault rupture at the site is considered to be remote .
. Ground Shaking
The site is located in a seismically active area that has historically been affected by moderate to
occasionally high levels of ground motion and site lies in relatively close proximity to several
active faults; therefore, during the life of the proposed development, the property will probably
experience moderate to occasionally high ground shaking from these fault zones, as well as some
background shaking from other seismically active areas of the Southern California region. Design
of structures by code is to maintain structural integrity not to prevent damage. Earthquake
insurance is available where the damage risk is not acceptable to the client.

Seismic Induced Landslide
w. 0. 629221-01
December 17, 2021
Earthquake-induced landslide zones were delineated by the State of California using criteria
adopted by the California State Mining and Geology Board. Under those criteria, earthquake-
induced landslide zones are areas meeting one or more of the following:
1. Areas known to have experienced earthquake-induced slope failure during historic earthquakes.
2. Areas identified as having past landslide movement, including both landslide deposits and source
areas.
3. Areas where CDMG's analyses of geologic and geotechnical data indicate that the geologic
materials are susceptible to earthquake-induced slope failure.
Based on the Seismic Hazard Zone Map published by the State of California, Newport Beach
Quadrangle, appended as Figure 3, the site is not mapped as being in an area subject to potential
seismic induced landslides.
Seismic Induced Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a seismic phenomenon in which loose, saturated, non-cohesive granular soils
exhibit severe reduction in strength and stability when subjected to high-intensity ground
shaking. The mechanism by which liquefaction occurs is the progressive increase in excess pore
pressure generated by the shaking associated with the seismic event and the tendency for loose
non-cohesive soils to consolidate. As the excess pore fluid pressure approaches the in-situ
overburden pressure, the soils exhibit behavior similar to a dense fluid with a corresponding
significant decrease in shear strength and increase in compressibility. Liquefaction occurs when
three general conditions exist: 1) shallow groundwater; 2) low density, non-cohesive sandy soils;
and 3) high-intensity ground motion.
Seismic Hazard Zone Maps published by the State of California have been prepared to indicate
areas that have a potential for seismic induced liquefaction hazards. The Seismic Hazard Zone Map
for the Newport Beach Quadrangle, appended as Figure 3, shows the site to be mapped as being
subject to potential liquefaction hazards.
The City of Newport Beach has a policy concerning these areas. The City has assigned certain
parameters to existing soil conditions. From ten to thirty feet below ground surface they have
assigned the zone to be liquefiable with a seismic settlement of three inches. From thirty to fifty
feet below ground surface they have assigned liquefaction and seismic settlement not to be of
concern. The client has the option of accepting these conditions and assessing the zone of earth
materials from the ground surface to ten feet below the proposed footing bottom for liquefaction
and seismic settlement, or ignoring the City conditions and drilling deep exploration for similar
assessment.
For this project shallow exploration was chosen. A liquefaction assessment for the upper earth
materials follows.

Mr. and Mrs. Griley 7
Geotechnical Engineering Investigation
w. 0. 629221-01
December 17, 2021
Liquefaction evaluation for soil zone to ten feet below foundation bottom was based on blow
counts from Boring No. 1, a M = 7.2 seismic event from the Newport-Inglewood fault, a maximum
ground acceleration of 0. 724g PGAM, and a conservative groundwater level at five feet.
Liquefaction analysis, based on these values and field obtained data, is presented in Appendix B.
The results indicate that there is liquefaction potential for the subject site.
Earthquake-Induced Settlements
Earthquake-induced settlements result from densification of non-cohesive granular soils which
occur as a result of reduction in volume during or after an earthquake event. The magnitude of
settlement that results from the occurrence of liquefaction is typically greater than the settlement
that results solely from densification during strong ground shaking in the absence of liquefaction.
It is understanding that the current City policy, has assigned a seismic settlement potential of
three inches for soils depths of ten to thirty feet and no additional analysis of seismic settlement
for this level should be required.
The seismically induced settlement was evaluated based on the "Evaluation of Settlements in
Sand Deposits Following Liquefaction During Earthquakes" by Kenji Ishihara and Mitsutoshi
Y oshimine, dated March 1992. The analysis was limited to ten feet below the footing bottom.
The result, based on the SPT N-values in Boring No. 1, groundwater table at five feet below
ground surface and shown in Appendix C, indicates that the estimated settlement is 0.62 inch.
According to City policy, the City's shallow mitigation method may be used since the seismic
settlement is less than one inch to a depth of ten feet below proposed foundations.
Lateral Spreading
The occurrence ofliquefaction may cause lateral spreading. Lateral spreading is a phenomenon in
which lateral displacement can occur on the ground surface due to movement of non-liquefied
soils along zones of liquefied soils. For lateral spreading to occur, the liquefiable zone must be
continuous, unconstrained laterally, and free to move along sloping ground toward an unconfined
area. Our opinion is that the risk of lateral spreading affecting the proposed structure is minimal
due to lack of significant sloping ground and lateral distance to a free face.
Earthquake-Induced Flooding
The failure of dams or other water-retaining structures as a result of earthquakes and strong
ground shaking could result in the inundation of adjacent areas. Due to the lack of a major dam
or water-retaining structure located near the site, the potential of earthquake-induced flooding
affecting the site is considered not to be present.
Seiches
Seiches are large waves generated in enclosed bodies of water in response to ground shaking.
Based on the lack of nearby enclosed bodies of water the risk from a seiche event is not present.

Tsunami Run-up
w. 0. 629221-01
December 17. 2021
Tsunamis are waves generated in large bodies of water as a result of change of seafloor
topography caused by tectonic displacement.
Based on the City of Newport Beach "Potential Tsunami Runup Inundation Caused by a
Submarine Landslide" map, the subject site is situated in the zone for potential tsunami run-up as
shown on Figure 5. For more information about flooding and tsunami run-up hazards, please
check the City's website.
GEOTECHNICAL DISCUSSION
The site is within an area subject to liquefaction and liquefaction induced settlements under certain
seismic events. Under current CBC codes, City policy, and industry standards residential structures
subject to seismic hazards are designed to protect life and safety. Under this design objective the
requirements of protecting life and safety could be met but the structure could be damaged. The
damage to the structure could range from minimal to being non-functional. The reduction of risk,
for the occurrence of structural damage from a seismic event, is generally associated with the
structure's foundation system.
Typically the use of a conventional foundation system or a mat foundation system has been utilized
in the area. Based on site conditions, our recommendation is that the proposed residence be
supported by a structural mat foundation system. A structural mat foundation is more rigid than
conventional foundations, and should be more effective in mitigation of structural damage to a
residence during a seismic event.
If the risk associated with this foundation system is not acceptable to the client, the client has the
option of utilizing alternate designs that could decrease the risk of damage to the structure to a level
they perceive as acceptable. Some of these designs could consist of soil modifications, grout
densification, stone columns, piles placed below liquefiable soils, and other methods. Additional
geotechnical exploration and or analysis would be required to provide geotechnical design
recommendation for these mitigation measures, and would be at the request of the client under
separate contract.
Development of the site as proposed is considered feasible from a geotechnical engineering
standpoint, provided that the recommendations stated herein are incorporated in the design and are
implemented in the field. The proposed grading and or construction will not have an adverse effect
on adjacent property or vice versa, provided site work is performed in accordance with the
guidelines of project geotechnical reports, approved plans, applicable codes, industry standards,
City inspections, and required geotechnical observation and testing.
The following recommendations are subject to change based on review of final foundation and
grading plans.

PROPOSED GRADING
w. 0. 629221-01
December 17. 2021
Grading plans were not available at the time this report was prepared. It is anticipated that grading
will consist mainly of over-excavation and recompaction for uniform support of the foundations
and slabs.
GENERAL GRADING NOTES
All existing structures shall be demolished and all vegetation and debris shall be stripped and
hauled from the site. The entire grading operation shall be done in accordance with the attached
"Specifications for Grading".
Any import fill materials to the site shall not have an expansion index greater than 20, and shall be
tested and approved by our laboratory. Samples must be submitted 48 hours prior to import.
Grading and/or foundation recommendations are subject to modification upon review of final plans
by the Geotechnical Engineer. Please submit plans to COAST GEOTECHNICAL, Inc. when
available.
GRADING RECOMMENDATIONS
Removal and recompaction of existing earth materials will be required to provide adequate
support for foundations and site improvements. Earthwork for foundation support shall include
the entire building pad and shall extend a minimum of three feet outside exterior footing lines.
Based on in place densities and consolidation tests, earth material found at a depth of three feet
below existing grade and deeper have adequate geotechnical properties to provide adequate support
of proposed fills and the structure; as such, removals to a depth of three feet below existing grade or
to one foot below proposed footing bottoms, whichever is greater, are anticipated; however, field
observations made at the time of grading shall determine final removal limits.
To provide adequate support along property lines excavations shall be sloped at a 1 :1 (H:V)
gradient from property line down to the excavation bottom. As fill soils are placed the grading
contractor shall bench into the 1 : 1 construction cut to final grade. Temporary excavations along
property lines are shown on Figure 4.
During earthwork operations, a representative of COAST GEOTECHNICAL, INC. shall be present
to verify compliance with these recommendations. Subsequent to approval of the excavation
bottom, the area shall be scarified six inches, mixed with Portland cement, moisture conditioned
as needed, and compacted to a minimum of 90% relative compaction.
Fill soils shall be placed in six to eight inch loose lifts, moisture conditioned as needed, and
compacted to a minimum of 90% relative compaction. This process shall be utilized to finish
grade. Due to the caving nature of the on-site sands and shallow water table, it is highly
recommended that all fill soils be mixed with Portland cement to mitigate the potential for caving
of the foundation excavations.

w. 0. 629221-01
December 17, 2021
Grading for hardscape areas shall consist of removal and recompaction of loose surficial soils.
Removal depths are estimated at one to two feet. Earthwork shall be performed in accordance
with previously specified methods.
FOUNDATIONS -RESIDENCE
The residence shall be supported by a mat foundation.
The mat foundation may utilize an allowable bearing value of 1,800 pounds per square foot. This
value is for dead plus live load and may be increased by 1/3 for total including seismic and wind
loads where allowed by code. Calculations are provided on Plate G. The structural engineer's
reinforcing requirements should be followed if more stringent.
The structural engineer should design the thickness and reinforcement requirements for the mat
foundation for the building based on the anticipated loading conditions. The mat foundation slab
should be at least twelve inches thick, with perimeter footing a minimum of 24 inches below the
lowest adjacent grade. A modulus of subgrade reaction of 100 pci may be used in the design of
the mat foundation. Calculations are provided on Plate I. Reinforcement shall be determined by
the structural engineer.
Alternate foundations and or additional ground modification techniques, for support of the
structure, can be addressed upon request of the project manager. All foundation plans are subject
to review and approval of the soils engineer.
All foundation bottoms shall be observed and approved by COAST GEOTECHNICAL, Inc.
prior to placement of the capillary break.
FOUNDATIONS -SECONDARY STRUCTURES
Property line walls, planter walls, and other incidental foundations may utilize conventional
foundation design.
Continuous spread footings or isolated pads placed a minimum depth of 24 inches below lowest
adjacent grade may utilize an allowable bearing value of 1,500 pounds per square foot. This
value is for dead plus live load and may be increased 1/3 for total including seismic and wind
loads where allowed by code.
Where isolated pads are utilized, they shall be tied in two directions into adjacent foundations
with grade beams.
Footing excavations shall be observed by a representative of COAST GEOTECHNICAL, Inc.,
prior to placement of steel or concrete to verify competent soil conditions. If unacceptable soil
conditions are exposed mitigation will be recommended.
Foundations shall be reinforced with a minimum of four #5 bars, two top and two bottom, The
structural engineer's recommendations for reinforcement shall be utilized where more severe.

LATERAL DESIGN
w. 0. 629221-01
December 17, 2021
Lateral restraint at the base of footings and on slabs may be assumed to be the product of the dead
load and a coefficient of friction of 0.35. Passive pressure on the face of footings may also be used
to resist lateral forces. A passive pressure of zero at the surface of finished grade, increasing at the
rate of 300 pounds per square foot of depth to a maximum value of 3,000 pounds per square foot,
may be used for compacted fill at this site. Calculations are provided on Plate H. If passive pressure
and friction are combined when evaluating the lateral resistance, then the value of the passive
pressure should be limited to 2/3 of the values given above.
FLOOR SLABS
Due to liquefaction potential at the subject site, it is recommended that a mat foundation be used
for the proposed structure. The minimum thickness of the mat slab is twelve inches.
Slab on grades shall be designed in accordance with current CBC codes.
Slab on grade areas shall be supported on engineered fill compacted to a minimum of 90%
relative compaction and exhibiting proper moisture content. Subgrade soil should be kept moist
prior to casting the slab. However, if the soils at grade become disturbed during construction,
they should be brought to approximately optimum moisture content and rolled to a firm,
unyielding condition prior to placing concrete. COAST GEOTECHNICAL, Inc. to verify
adequacy of sub grade spoils prior to placement of vapor barrier or capillary break.
Section 4.505.2.1 of the California Green Code requires the use of a capillary break between the
slab sub grade and vapor barrier. The capillary break material shall comply with the requirements
of the local jurisdiction and shall be a minimum of four inches in thickness. Geotechnically
coarse clean sand is acceptable; however, some localities require the use of four inches of gravel
(1/2-inch or larger clean aggregate). If gravels are used, a heavy filter fabric (Mirafi 140N) shall
be placed over the gravels prior to placement of the recommended vapor barrier to minimize
puncturing of the vapor barrier. Additionally, a vibratory plate should be used over the gravels
prior to placement of the recommended filter fabric to smooth out any sharp protuberances and
consolidate the gravels.
Slab areas should be underlain by a vapor retarder consisting of an engineered plastic film (as
described by ASTM:E-1745). In areas where a moisture sensitive floor covering will be used
and/or where moisture infiltration is not desirable, a vapor barrier with a permeance of less than
O.Olperms (consistent with ACI 302.2R-06) such as 15 mil. Stego Wrap Vapor Barrier, or
equivalent, should be considered, and a qualified water proofing specialist should be consulted.
The vapor barrier should be underlain by the above described capillary break materials and filter
cloth. The capillary break materials should be compacted to a uniform condition prior to
placement of the recommended filter cloth and vapor barrier. The vapor barrier should be
properly lapped and sealed.

SEISMIC DESIGN
w. 0. 629221-01
December 17, 2021
Based on the current CBC and ASCE 7-16, the following seismic design parameters are provided.
These seismic design values were determined utilizing latitude 33.615397 and longitude -
117.908857 and calculations from the SEAOC/OSHPD Seismic Design Tool. Data output is
attached in Appendix B. The site class D-Default was assigned to site earth materials.
• Site Class= D-Default
• Mapped 0.2 Second Spectral Response Acceleration, Ss = l.38lg
• Mapped One Second Spectral Response Acceleration S1 = 0.491g
• Site Coefficient from Table 1613A.3.3(1), Fa= 1.2
• Site Coefficient from Table 1613A.3.3(2), Fv = 1.809
• Maximum Design Spectral Response Acceleration for short period, SMs = l .657g
• Maximum Design Spectral Response Acceleration for one-second period, SM1 = 0.888g
• 5% Design Spectral Response Acceleration for short period, Sos= l.105g
• 5% Design Spectral Response Acceleration for one-second period, S01 = 0.592g
The Fv, SM1, and Sm are calculated based on Table 11.4-2 of ASCE7-16 as shown on Plate X.
Since S1 is more than 0.2, the project structural engineer shall perform required calculations to
make sure that a site response analysis is not required according to 11.4.8 of ASCE7-16.
SETTLEMENT
The maximum total post-construction settlement is anticipated to be on the order of 1/2 inch.
Differential settlements are expected to be less than 1/2 inch, measured between adjacent structural
elements over a distance of 40 feet. Seismic induced settlements are addressed under previous
sections.
SUBSIDENCE & SHRINKAGE
Subsidence over the site is anticipated to be negligible. Shrinkage of reworked materials should be
in the range of 5 to 10 percent.
EXPANSIVE SOILS
Results of expansion tests indicate that the near surface soils have a very low expansion potential.
UTILITY LINE BACKFILLS
All utility line backfills, both interior and exterior, shall be compacted to a rrurumum of
90% relative compaction and shall require testing at a maximum of two-foot vertical intervals.
Utility lines shall be placed at appropriate depths. Shallow pipes can be damaged by the forces
imposed by compacting backfill soils. If shallow pipes are not capable of withstanding the forces of
backfill compaction, slurry backfill will be recommended.

Hardscape and slab subgrade areas shall exhibit a minimum of 90% relative compaction to a depth
of at least one foot. Deeper removal and recompaction may be required if unacceptable conditions
are encountered. These areas require testing just prior to placing concrete. Hardscape shall be at
least four inches thick and reinforced with #3 bars on 18 inch centers both ways.
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
An on-site soil sample showed a soluble sulfate content of 55 ppm, which is a negligible sulfate
exposure. Concrete with Type II 2,500 psi may be utilized; however, the saltwater environ may
cause damage to exposed concrete and a designed concrete should be considered.
DRAINAGE
Positive drainage should be planned for the site. Drainage should be directed away from structures
via non-erodible conduits to suitable disposal areas. The structure should utilize roof gutters and
down spouts tied directly to yard drainage.
Pipes used for storm/site water drainage should be stout enough to withstand the force of
compaction of the soils above. This force can be considerable, causing some weaker pipes to
collapse. Drainage pipes shall have a smooth interior. Pipes with a corrugated interior can cause the
buildup of deleterious matter, which can impede or block the flow of site waters and, as such, are
not recommended. All storm/site water drainage pipes should be in conformance with the
requirements of Table 1102.5 of the California Plumbing Code.
Unlined flowerbeds, planters, and lawns should not be constructed against the perimeter of the
structure. If such landscaping (against the perimeter of a structure) is planned, it should be properly
drained and lined or provided with an underground moisture barrier. Irrigation should be kept to a
mm1mum.
The current CBC recommends five percent slope away from structures for landscape areas within
ten feet of the residence. Hardscape areas shall be sloped a minimum of two percent where within
ten feet of the residence unless allowed otherwise by the building official. Minimum drainage shall
be one percent for hardscape areas and two percent for all other areas.
We do not recommend the use of infiltration best management practice (BMP) such as infiltration
trenches, bottomless trench drains, infiltration basins, dry wells, permeable pavements or similar
systems designed primarily to percolate water into the subsurface soils within three feet of
foundations. Due to the physical characteristics of the site earth materials, infiltration of waters into
the subsurface earth materials has a risk of adversely affecting below grade structures, building
foundations and slabs, and hardscape improvements. From a geotechnical viewpoint surface
drainage should be directed to the street.
The WQMP requirement shall be addressed by the Civil Engineer.

ENGINEERING CONSULTATION, TESTING & OBSERVATION
w. 0. 629221-01
December 17, 2021
We will be pleased to provide additional input with respect to foundation design once methods of
construction have been determined.
Grading, foundation and shoring plans should be reviewed by this office prior to commencement of
grading so that appropriate recommendations, if needed, can be made.
Areas to receive fill should be observed when unsuitable materials have been removed and prior to
placement of fill. Fill should be observed and tested for compaction as it is placed.
SUPPLEMENTAL CONSULTING
During construction, a number of reviews by this office are recommended to verify site
geotechnical conditions and conformance with the intentions of the recommendations for
construction. Although not all possible geotechnical observation and testing services are required.
The following site reviews are advised, some of which will probably be required by the City of
Newport Beach:
• Grading and excavations review for main structures
• Foundation excavations
• Slab subgrade compaction testing prior to placement of the capillary break or waste slab
• Slab steel placement, primary and appurtenant structures
• Compaction of interior and exterior utility trench backfill
• Hardscape subgrade compaction
AGENCY REVIEW
All soil, geologic and structural aspects of the proposed development are subject to the review and
approval of the governing agency(s). It should be recognized that the governing agency(s) can
dictate the manner in which the project proceeds. They could approve or deny any aspect of the
proposed improvements and/or could dictate which foundation and grading options are acceptable.
Supplemental geotechnical consulting in response to agency requests for additional information
could be required and will be charged on a time and materials basis.
LIMITATIONS
This report presents recommendations pertaining to the subject site based on the assumption that
the subsurface conditions do not deviate appreciably from those disclosed by our exploratory
excavations. Our recommendations are based on the technical information, our understanding of the
proposed construction, and our experience in the geotechnical field. We do not guarantee the
performance of the project, only that our engineering work and judgments meet the standard of care
of our profession at this time.
In view of the general conditions in the area, the possibility of different local soil conditions may
exist. Any deviation or unexpected condition observed during construction should be brought to the
COAST GEOTECHNICAL, INC.

attention of the Geotechnical Engineer. In this way, any supplemental recommendations can be
made with a minimum of delay necessary to the project.
If the proposed construction will differ from our present understanding of the project, the existing
information and possibly new factors may have to be evaluated. Any design changes and the
finished plans should be reviewed by the Geotechnical Consultant. Of particular importance would
be extending development to new areas, changes in structural loading conditions, postponed
development for more than a year, or changes in ownership.
This report is issued with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the owner, or of his
representative, to ensure that the information and recommendations contained herein are called to
the attention of the Architects and Engineers for the project, and incorporated into the plans and that
the necessary steps are taken to see that the contractors and subcontractors carry out such
recommendations in the field.
This report is subject to review by the controlling authorities for this project.
We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to you.

December 17, 2021
This appendix contains a description of the field investigation, laboratory testing procedures and
results, site plan, exploratory logs and expansive soil recommendations.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation was performed on December 10, 2021, consisting of the excavation of a
boring by a limited access drilling rig (for Boring No. 1) and a boring by hand auger equipment (for
Boring No. 2) at the locations shown on the attached Site Plan, Figure 2. As drilling progressed,
personnel from this office visually classified the soils encountered, and secured representative
samples for laboratory testing.
Description of the soils encountered is presented on the attached Boring Logs. The data presented
on this log is a simplification of actual subsurface conditions encountered and applies only at the
specific boring locations and the date excavated. It is not warranted to be representative of
subsurface conditions at other locations and times.
LABORATORY TESTING
Field samples were examined in the laboratory and a testing program was then established to
develop data for preliminary evaluation of geotechnical conditions.
Field moisture and dry densities were calculated for each undisturbed sample. The samples were
obtained per ASTM:D-2937 and tested under ASTM:D-2216.
Maximum density-optimum moisture relationships were established per ASTM:D-1557 for use in
evaluation of in-situ conditions and for future use during grading operations.
Direct shear tests were performed in accordance with ASTM:D-3080, on specimens at near
saturation under various normal loads. The results of tests are based on an 80% peak strength or
ultimate strength, whichever is lower, and are attached as Plates D and E.
Expansion tests were performed on typical specimens of earth materials in accordance with the
procedures outlined in ASTM D-4829.
A consolidation test was performed on a representative sample based on ASTM:D-2435. The
consolidation plot is presented on Plate F.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR GRADING
SITE CLEARING
All existing vegetation shall be stripped and hauled from the site.
PREPARATION
After the foundation for the fill has been cleared, plowed or scarified, it shall be disced or bladed until
it is uniform and free from large clods, brought to a proper moisture content and compacted to not less
than ninety percent of the maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM:D-1SS7 (Slayers -2S
blows per layer; 10 lb. hammer dropped 18"; 4" diameter mold).
MATERIALS
On-site materials may be used for fill, or fill materials shall consist of materials approved by the Soils
Engineer and may be obtained from the excavation of banks, borrow pits or any other approved
source. The materials used should be free of vegetable matter and other deleterious substances
and shall not contain rocks or lumps greater than six inches in maximum dimension.
PLACING, SPREADING AND COMPACTING FILL MATERIALS
The selected fill material shall be placed in layers which, when compacted, shall not exceed six
inches in thickness. Each layer shall be spread evenly and shall be thoroughly mixed during the
spreading to ensure uniformity of material and moisture of each layer.
Where moisture of the fill material is below the limits specified by the Soils Engineer, water shall be
added until the moisture content is as required to ensure thorough bonding and thorough compaction.
Where moisture content of the fill material is above the limits specified by the Soils Engineer, the fill
materials shall be aerated by blading or other satisfactory methods until the moisture content is as
specified.
After each layer has been placed, mixed and spread evenly, it shall be thoroughly compacted to not
less than 90 percent of the maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM:D-1SS7 (Slayers -2S
blows per layer; 10 lbs. hammer dropped 18 inches; 4" diameter mold) or other density tests which
will attain equivalent results.
Compaction shall be by sheepfoot roller, multi-wheel pneumatic tire roller, track loader or other types
of acceptable rollers.
COAST GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR GRADING PAGE2
Rollers shall be of such design that they will be able to compact the fill to the specified density.
Rolling shall be accomplished while the fill material is at the specified moisture content. Rolling of
each layer shall be continuous over the entire area and the roller shall make sufficient trips to ensure
that the desired density has been obtained. The final surface of the lot areas to receive slabs on grade
should be rolled to a dense, smooth surface.
The outside of all fill slopes shall be compacted by means of sheepfoot rollers or other suitable
equipment. Compaction operations shall be continued until the outer nine inches of the slope is at
least 90 percent compacted. Compacting of the slopes may be progressively in increments of three
feet to five feet of fill height as the fill is brought to grade, or after the fill is brought to its total height.
Field density tests shall be made by the Soils Engineer of the compaction of each layer of fill. Density
tests shall be made at intervals not to exceed two feet of fill height provided all layers are tested.
Where the sheepfoot rollers are used, the soil may be disturbed to a depth of several inches and
density readings shall be taken in the compacted material below the disturbed surface. When these
readings indicate that the density of any layer of fill or portion there is below the required 90 percent
density, the particular layer or portion shall be reworked until the required density has been obtained.
The grading specifications should be a part of the project specifications.
The Soil Engineer shall review the grading plans prior to grading.
INSPECTION
The Soil Engineer shall provide continuous supervision of the site clearing and grading operation so
that he can verify the grading was done in accordance with the accepted plans and specifications.
SEASONAL LIMITATIONS
No fill material shall be placed, spread or rolled during unfavorable weather conditions. When heavy
rains interrupt work, fill operations shall not be resumed until the field tests by the Soils Engineer
indicate the moisture content and density of the fill are as previously specified.
EXPANSIVE SOIL CONDITIONS
Whenever expansive soil conditions are encountered, the moisture content of the fill or recompacted
soil shall be as recommended in the expansive soil recommendations included herewith.

LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE CALCULATIONS
Retaining structures such as retaining walls, basement walls, and bulk-heads are commonly
used in foundation engineering, and they support almost vertical slopes of earth masses.
Proper design and construction of these structures require a through knowledge of the lateral
forces acting between the retaining structures and the soil masses being retained. These
lateral forces are due to lateral earth pressure.

Influence of Fines Content
In the original development, Seed et al. (1985) noted an
apparent . increase of CRR with increased fines content.
Whether this increase is caused by an increase of liquefaction
resistance or a decrease of penetration resistance is not clear.
Based on the empirical data available, Seed et al. developed
CRR curves for various fines contents reproduced in Fig. 2. A
revised correction for fines content was developed by work-
shop attendees to better fit the empirical database and to better
support computations with spreadsheets and other electronic
computational aids.
The workshop participants recommend (5) and (6) as ap-
proximate corrections for the influence of fines content (FC)
on CRR. Other grain characteristics, such as soil plasticity,
may affect liquefaction resistance as well as fines content, but
widely accepted corrections for these factors have not been
developed. Hence corrections based solely on fines content
should be used with engineering judgment and caution. The
following equations were developed by I. M. Idriss with the
assistance of R. B. Seed for correction of (N1)60 to an equiv-
alent clean sand value, (N1)6ocs:
(5)
where a and 13 = coefficients determineq from the following
relationships: ·
a = 0 for FC < 5% (6a)
a= exp[l.76 -(190/FC2)] for 5% < FC < 35% (6b)
a = 5.0 . for FC > 35% (6c)
j3 = 1.0 for FC :5 5% (7a)
13 = [0.99 + (FC15/l,OOO)] for 5% < FC < 35% (7b)
13 = 1.2 for FC ;:::: 35% (7c)
These equations may be used for routine liquefaction resis-
tance calculations. A back-calculated curve for a fines content
of 35% is essentially congruent with the 35% curve plotted in
Fig. 2. The back-calculated curve for a fines contents of 15%
plots to the right of the original 15% curve.
