Analyses for this investigation are based upon a description of the project as a new duplex structure planned for the property. There is an existing structure on the lot that will be removed. We understand that the design of the new duplex is in the planning and design stage. The purpose of our review and investigation was to evaluate the subsurface conditions, determine the compatibility of the proposed development with respect to the geotechnical features of the site, and provide preliminary geotechnical recommendations and design parameters for site precise grading and planned improvements. Specific information and recommendations for site development are provided herein. The conclusions and recommendations of this report are considered preliminary due to the absence of specific foundation and grading plans, the preparation of which are partially dependent upon recommendations presented herein. Project Authorization The work performed was per your request and authorization based on our Proposal No: P1- 8496, dated November 2, 2020.

Site Description The subject property is located in west Newport Beach in the Seashore Colony area as shown on the Location Map, Figure 2. The property address includes both 6501 and 6503 Seashore Drive. The lot is located at the westerly corner of Seashore Drive and Walnut Street on the beach side of West Coast Highway. The site is bounded by streets on the northeast and southeast sides, a developed residential lot on the northwest, and the service alley is along the southwest. A public beach parking lot is located across Seashore Drive and the beach is located one block to the southwest. The Topographic Map prepared by RdM Surveying, Inc. (Reference 1) indicates that the lot has a rectangular shape. The Topographic Map was used as a base map for our Geotechnical Plot Plan, Figure 1. The property is relatively flat. Site elevations range from approximately 12.5 to 13.2 feet (NAVD88) across the lot based on Reference 1. The adjoining property on the west is approximately level with the subject site. The site is presently developed with a residential duplex property including attached garages. The west side unit is one story, and the east side unit is two stories. Hardscape consists primarily of concrete and brick around the structures. Vegetation is primarily shrubs and vines contained within perimeter planters. Site drainage consists of sheet flow toward the alley and streets. Rain gutters were observed along the roof line. The condition of the improvements was commensurate with the age of the structures. PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 3 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Proposed Development We understand that the proposed development will consist of the demolition of the existing duplex structures to build a new, slab-on-grade, duplex. We understand that the design of the new residence is in the planning and design stage. Grading is expected to consist of reprocessing surface soils following removal of existing foundation elements, unsuitable fill, weathered soil, planter soils and materials disturbed by demolition. Overexcavation and replacement of soil as densified engineered fill is recommended to provide a uniform fill blanket below the structure. Structural loads were not provided. We anticipate wood-frame and light steel construction that is typical of the area and relatively light construction loads. We assume that maximum column loads will be less than 25 kips and wall loads of 2 kip/foot. Our office should be notified when the structural design loads for foundation elements are available to check these preliminary assumptions. GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS Geologic Setting The property is situated within the southeasterly edge of the Los Angeles Basin along the coast. The site is about 0.4 mile southeast of the present Santa Ana River outlet. The Pacific Ocean is about 500 feet southwest of the site. This area of the coast is thought to be resting on a regionally extensive, relatively flat bench scoured by wave activity into bedrock. The bedrock is overlain by marine deposits and inter-fingered alluvial sediments. The marine and alluvial deposits generally consist of fine to course grained sands with gravel and shell fragments. Earth Materials The site surface exposed a thin layer of shallow sandy fill soils (Af) below the hardscape and within the planters over Marine deposits (Qm). The dense sands and gravels below depths of 10 feet may also include alluvial deposits from the Santa Ana River. Marine deposits generally consisted of tan, brown and gray sand ranging from fine to medium grained. The deposits were loose to dense with density increasing with depth. Subsurface soils included scattered shells, pebbles and gravel. Groundwater was present at a depth of approximately 8 feet in Boring B-1. The on-site sands had moisture contents of 2.5 to 22.5 percent in the samples tested. The on- site soils near surface soils are predominantly granular sands that are non-plastic and non- expansive. Bedrock was not encountered to the maximum depth explored of 16.5 feet. Based on a review of collected documents, the depth to bedrock is estimated to be at least 20 to 40 feet bgs. Geologic Hazard The potential geologic hazards at the site are primarily from liquefaction, flooding and shaking due to movement of nearby or distant faults during earthquake events. These are discussed in greater detail below. PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 4 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Portion of: PRELIMINARY DIGITAL GEOLOGICAL MAP OF THE 30’ X 60’ SANTA ANA QUADRANGLE, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, VERSION 2 U. S. Geological Survey, Open File Report 99-172 Compiled by D. M. Morton Groundwater Groundwater was encountered at a depth of approximately 8 feet on November 17, 2020. On- site groundwater conditions may additionally be affected by tidal conditions and fluctuate daily in conjunction with the incoming and outgoing tides. Collected reports (see references) generally indicate groundwater observed at depths of 9 to 10 feet bgs in the vicinity. Water Infiltration From a geotechnical standpoint, on-site water infiltration is allowable. A minimum setback of 3 feet from the nearest foundation is recommended for large volume runoff. Simple trench drains and permeable pavement surfaces may be allowable without setback with appropriate agency and geotechnical review and approvals. Proposed water infiltration features should be reviewed and approved by the Geotechnical Consultant. Surficial Run-off Proposed development should incorporate engineering and landscape drainage designed to transmit surface and subsurface flow, including the potential for periodic flooding, if present, to the street and/or storm drain system via non-erosive pathways. SITE Qvop PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 5 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Faulting/Seismic Considerations The major concern relating to geologic faults is ground shaking that affects many properties over a wide area. Direct hazards from faulting are essentially due to surface rupture along fault lines that could occur during an earthquake. Therefore, geologists have mapped fault locations and established criteria for determining the risks of potential surface rupture based on the likelihood of renewed movement on faults that could be located under a site. Based on criteria established by the California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG), now referred to as the California Geological Survey, faults are generally categorized as active, potentially active or inactive (Jennings, 1994). The basic principle of faulting concern is that existing faults could move again, and that faults which have moved more recently are the most likely faults to move again and affect us. As such, faults have been divided into categories based on their age of last movement. Although the likelihood of an earthquake or movement to occur on a given fault significantly decreases with inactivity over geologic time, the potential for such events to occur on any fault cannot be eliminated within the current level of understanding. By definition, faults with no evidence of surface displacement within the last 1.6 million years are considered inactive and generally pose no concern for earthquakes due renewed movement. Potentially active faults are those with the surface displacement within the last 1.6 million years. Further refinements of potentially active faults are sometimes described based on the age of the last known movement such as late Quaternary (last 700,000 years) implying a greater potential for renewed movement. In fact, most potentially active faults have little SITE Fault Map Newport Beach, California EXPLANATION Fault: !;O[id where location known, long da5hed where approximate, doned where inferred.

A few faults that were once thought to be potentially active, have later been found to be active based on new findings and mapping. Active faults are those with a surface displacement within the last 11,000 years and, therefore, most likely to move again. The State of California has, additionally, mapped known areas of active faulting as designated Alquist- Priolo "Special Studies Zones,” which requires special investigations for fault rupture to limit construction over active faults. Based on our review of various published and unpublished reports, maps and documents, the site is located along the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone. This fault consists of a series of parallel and en echelon, northwest-trending faults and folds extending from the southern edge of the Santa Monica Mountains to Huntington Beach and then offshore along Newport Beach. This fault zone has historically experienced moderate to high seismic activity. No active or potentially active faults are known to project through the site. In addition, the Newport-Inglewood Fault is not sufficiently well defined in the area of the subject site to be placed within the boundaries of an “earthquake fault zone,” as defined by the State of California in the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act. A potential seismic source near the site is the San Joaquin Hills Blind Thrust Fault (SJHBT), which is approximately 2 to 8 kilometers beneath the site at its closest point, based on the reported fault structure. The SJHBT is a postulated fault that is suspected to be responsible for uplift of the San Joaquin Hills. This fault is a blind thrust fault that does not intercept the ground surface and, therefore, presents no known potential for ground rupture at the property. The potential for surface rupture at the site is considered to be low and the property is not located within a special study zone for fault rupture. The site will experience shaking during earthquake events on nearby or distant faults. Site improvements should take into consideration the seismic design parameters outlined herein. Site Classification for Seismic Design Seismic design parameters are provided in a later section of this report and in Appendix F for use by the Structural Engineer. The soil underlying the subject site has been classified in accordance with Chapter 21 of ASCE 7, per Section 1613 of the 2019 CBC. The results of our on-site field investigation, as well as nearby investigations by us and others, indicate that the site is directly underlain by Class D medium dense to dense Marine and alluvial deposits. Based on the on-site test results and the proposed compacted fill soil, we recommend using a characterization of this property as a Class D (Default), “Stiff Soil,” Site Classification. Secondary Seismic Hazards Review of the Seismic Hazard Zones Map (CDMG, 1998) for the Newport Beach Quadrangle, 1997/1998 and the City of Newport Beach Seismic Safety Element (2008) indicates the site is located within a zone of required investigation for earthquake-induced liquefaction. PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 7 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Liquefaction Considerations The area along Newport Harbor and its channels is in a Zone of Required Investigation for liquefaction on the State of California Seismic Hazard Zones Map, Newport Beach Quadrangle. Requirements for investigation are included in several documents including the City of Newport Beach Building Code Policy (Revised 7/3/2014), the CBC Section 1803.5, and the Guidelines for Evaluating and Mitigating Seismic Hazards in California, Special Publication 117A. Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading. Liquefaction occurs in saturated soils, that is, soils in which the void space between individual sand particles is completely filled with water. This water exerts a pressure on the soil particles that influences how tightly the particles themselves are pressed together. Prior to an earthquake, the water pressure is relatively low. However, earthquake shaking can cause the water pressure to increase to the point where the soil particles can readily move with respect to each other. Liquefaction generally occurs in sandy, granular soils. When liquefaction occurs, the strength of the soil decreases and the ability of a soil deposit to support foundations for buildings is reduced. The factors known to promote liquefaction potential include high groundwater level, degree of saturation, relative density, grain size, soil type, depth below the surface, and the magnitude and distance to the causative fault or seismic source. The subject site is in an area with potential for liquefaction (Morton and others, 1976; Toppozada and others, 1988).

In addition, a liquefaction analysis was performed to evaluate seismically-induced settlement. The results of our analysis are included in Appendix E. Based on the results of our analysis, some of the soil layers below the site, in the locations tested below the water table, have safety factors of less than 1.0, indicating risk of liquefaction during a seismic event strong enough to induce liquefaction. Layers exhibiting safety factors of 1.3 and less based on Boulanger and Idriss (2010-16) were evaluated for potential seismic settlement. Seismically-induced settlements were estimated by the procedures developed by Boulanger and Idriss (2010-16) and Tokimatsu and Seed (1987). Additionally, seismically-induced settlements were estimated by the procedures developed by Pradel (1998) for dry sand. The GeoAdvanced GeoSuite Software Version 2.4.2.21, developed by Fred Yi, was utilized for the analysis (Appendix E). The resultant potential total seismic settlement in the underlying upper 16.5 feet of soil is 0.75-inch within Boring B-1. Additional settlement is possible but less likely below depths of 16.5 feet due to the very dense sands and gravels. It is our opinion that this settlement potential may be mitigated by the foundation system for support of the proposed structure. Lateral Impacts of Liquefaction There is no significant sloping ground at the site. Additionally, the site is separated from the bay and from the ocean by significant distances. The risk of lateral spread is therefore considered to be very low. Flooding Seismically-induced flooding normally includes flooding from inland waters, which is not likely, and tsunami run-up from tidal wave energy. No specific tsunami analysis has been undertaken in this investigation. However, the “Evaluation of Tsunami Risk to Southern California Coastal Cities” (Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2003) provides discussion of the impacts of locally seismic and/or landslide generated tsunamis. The typical maximum run-up heights were estimated from 1 to 2 meters in the Newport Beach area. Because of unknown bathymetry on wave field interactions and irregular coastal configurations, actual maximum run-up heights could range from 2 to 4 meters, or more. The City of Newport Beach, in their Seismic Safety Element, describe Newport Beach as somewhat protected from most distantly generated tsunamis by the Channel Islands and Point Arguello, except for those generated in the Aleutian Islands, those off the coast of Chile, and possibly off the coast of Central America. The publication also states that there may generally be adequate warning given within the time frames from such distant events. The warnings would allow for public safety but would not necessarily protect property improvements. Street flooding, particularly due to storm tides may occur periodically in low lying coastal and harbor areas. No evidence of uncontrolled concentrated runoff onto or off the subject property was observed or reported based on our investigation. According to flood zone maps prepared by FEMA, the site is located within an “Area with Reduced Flood Risk Due to Levee, Zone X”, in reference to the Santa Ana River levee system to the northwest. The site is also located within zone VE, coastal flood with velocity hazard, per flood PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 9 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 zone map number 06059C0264K effective 3/21/2019. Further evaluation of flooding potential and surface drainage at the site is deferred to the civil engineer. If assessment of wave inundation potential is required, we recommend further evaluation by a marine engineer and/or consultant. Other Secondary Seismic Hazards Other secondary seismic hazards to the site include deep rupture and shallow ground cracking. With the absence of active faulting on-site, the potential for deep fault rupture is low. The potential for shallow ground cracking to occur during an earthquake is a possibility at any site, but does not pose a significant hazard to site development. Landsliding is not a hazard at the site due to the absence of sloping ground. CONCLUSIONS 1. Proposed development is considered feasible from a geotechnical viewpoint provided the recommendations of this report are followed during design, construction, and maintenance of the subject property. Proposed development should not adversely affect adjacent properties, providing appropriate engineering design, construction methods and care are utilized during construction. 2. The property is underlain by artificial fill and beach and marine deposits consisting of sands and gravels to the maximum depth explored of 16.5 feet. 3. The subgrade materials at the foundation levels are generally not suitable in their present condition for structural support; however, these materials may be removed and replaced as compacted, cement-treated, engineered fill within the upper 3 feet in order to provide a uniform fill blanket for support of structures. 4. Densification of the on-site soil may generally be accomplished through conventional grading methods by removal and recompaction of the soil. 5. Seismically-induced liquefaction has not historically been observed in the vicinity of the site; however, the liquefaction of soils in the general area is considered to be a possibility due to the presence of groundwater, underlying soil conditions and proximity of nearby earthquake faults. 6. Our calculations indicate that potential settlement due to both liquefaction and consolidation of dry sand layers caused by a large seismic event is less than 1-inch for the upper zone that includes 10 feet below proposed foundations. Foundation and slab design recommendations are provided in consideration of the seismic settlement potential. 7. Suitable drainage elements need to be installed within excavations and at retaining structures to mitigate possible transient seepage. Hydrostatic forces should be accounted for when building below grade structures, such as swimming pools or elevators, and adequate waterproofing should be provided in sensitive areas. PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 10 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Groundwater conditions should be addressed in accordance with local ordinances and practices, as well as agency requirements. 8. Groundwater was encountered at a depth of approximately 8 feet in Boring B-1. Ground water levels are expected to be fairly static and not particularly affected by most tidal fluctuations. Groundwater conditions should be addressed in accordance with local ordinances and practices, as well as agency requirements. Hydrostatic forces should, therefore, be accounted for in the foundation and slab design, and adequate waterproofing should be provided in sensitive areas. 9. The near surface sandy materials have a very low expansion potential. 10. Grading and construction methods will need to consider lateral and subjacent support of adjacent structures and property improvements. 11. Care must be taken during construction to not disturb the adjoining properties and street improvements. An appropriate monitoring program may be considered, if necessary, during demolition, grading and construction. 12. Although the probability of fault rupture across the property is low, ground shaking may be strong during a major earthquake. 13. Tsunami potential for this site is considered moderate; although historically such effects have been subdued in southern California due to topographic protection from distant seismic events and the rarity of significant offshore earthquakes. 14. Adverse surface discharge onto or off the site, including the potential for flooding, should be addressed as part of civil engineering design and implementation as part of post-construction site grading. 15. The proposed structure should be supported by a mat slab and foundation system resting entirely within recompacted fill materials. 16. Additional subsurface exploration should be done following demolition activities or at the time of the initial excavation cuts during grading to verify the preliminary findings contained herein. RECOMMENDATIONS Site Preparation and Grading 1. General Site grading should be performed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Newport Beach, the recommendations of this report, and the Standard Grading Guidelines of Appendix D. All excavations should be supervised and approved in writing by a representative of this firm. PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 11 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 2. Demolition and Clearing Deleterious materials, including those from the demolition of the existing concrete, vegetation, organic matter and trash, should be removed and disposed of off-site. Subsurface elements of demolished structures should be completely removed, including any trench backfills, abandoned foundations, cisterns, utility lines, etc. 3. Subgrade Preparation Excavations should be made to remove any soils disturbed by demolition, undocumented fill and surficial materials where encountered within the planned building areas. A minimum removal depth of 3 feet is recommended to remove the existing sand deposits and provide uniform bearing conditions below foundation and slab areas. Removals should be followed by 6-inches of scarification and recompaction. These remedial excavations should be made within the planned building footprint and the influence zone of footings. Deeper excavations may be necessary to remove unsuitable materials, if encountered. Soil cement is recommended to stabilize and strengthen the compacted fill. Existing walls and retaining walls may be suitable locally for excavation support; however, structures must be supported laterally during grading operations. Although not anticipated at this time, lateral support may sometimes be achieved by the use of bracing, slot cutting, or trenching where wall footings are shallow relative to excavation depths. Dewatering is not expected to be necessary at planned removal depths. Removals below significant hardscape improvements such as driveway aprons, patios, and sidewalks should be sufficient to provide a 1.5-feet-thick compacted fill zone. Removal depths of 18-inches are expected to be adequate in exterior areas; however, boundary conditions for removals under exterior improvements may be better addressed subsequent to demolition when equipment can expose the site materials for evaluation and when improvement limits are identified on the plan. Light track propelled mini-loader type equipment should be used for the grading. Rubber tire equipment shall not be used until a stable subgrade is achieved. The depths of overexcavation should be reviewed by the Geotechnical Engineer or Geologist during the actual construction. Any surface or subsurface obstructions, or questionable material encountered during grading, should be brought immediately to the attention of the Geotechnical Engineer for recommendations. 4. Fill Soils The on-site soils are anticipated to be suitable for use as compacted fill; however, cement treatment is recommended within the graded building pad to aid in the PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 12 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 foundation construction and reduce collapse potential of vertical trench cuts. Fill soils should be free of debris, organic matter, cobbles and concrete fragments greater than 6-inches in diameter. Soils imported to the site for use as fill below foundation and slab areas should be predominantly granular, non-expansive, non-plastic and approved by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to importing. 5. Shrinkage Shrinkage losses are expected to be about 2 percent overall. This does not include clearing losses from demolition that could result in volume reductions for available fill soils. 6. Expansive Soils Expansion tests should be performed during grading to determine the expansion potential of the processed fill materials. On-site surface soils encountered during our investigation were determined to be non-plastic, non-expansive sands. 7. Compaction Standard The on-site soils are anticipated to be generally suitable for use as compacted fill. Highly organic and oversize materials must be removed prior to compaction. Fill materials should be placed at above optimum moisture content and compacted under the observation and testing of the Soil Engineer. The recommended minimum density for compacted material is 90 percent of the maximum density as determined by ASTM D1557-12. 8. Temporary Construction Slopes Temporary slopes exposing on-site materials should be cut in accordance with Cal/OSHA Regulations. It is anticipated that the exposed on-site earth materials may be classified as Type C soil, and temporary cuts of 1:1 (horizontal: vertical) or flatter may be appropriate to heights of 5 feet or less; however, the material exposed in temporary excavations should be evaluated by the Contractor during construction. Dry or running sands may require flatter laybacks. Temporary construction slopes should not be left exposed overnight unless approved in writing by the Geotechnical Consultant. The compacted, cement-treated soil may be cut vertically to heights of 3 feet and are expected to be relatively stable for longer term excavation cuts for the foundation. Excavations should proceed in a manner so as not to remove lateral or bearing support of adjacent properties or structures. Along property lines, cuts of 1:1 or flatter are typically prudent and are required by the City of Newport Beach. Care will be needed along the property lines. The soils exposed in the excavation cuts should be observed by the Geotechnical Consultant during excavation. PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 13 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 The safety and stability of temporary construction slopes and cuts is deferred to the General Contractor, who should implement the safety practices as defined in Section 1541, Subchapter 4, of Cal/OSHA T8 Regulations (2006). The Geotechnical Consultant makes no warranties as to the stability of temporary cuts. Soil conditions may vary locally and the Contractor(s) should be prepared to remedy local instability if necessary. Contract Documents should be written in a manner that places the Contractor in the position of responsibility for the stability of all temporary excavations. Stability of excavations is also time dependent. If unsupported property line cuts are made, the Contractor should monitor the performance of adjacent structures and improvements during construction. If movement or distress is noted, appropriate remedial measures should be immediately implemented. 9. Adjacent Property Assessments and Monitoring The following measures may be considered in order to reduce the potential risks of damage, and perceived damage, to adjoining improvements: • Visual inspections and walk-throughs of each of the adjacent properties should be arranged in order to document pre-existing conditions and damages. • Measurements of all existing damages observed, including crack lengths, widths and precise locations should be made. • Photographs should be taken to accompany written notes that refer to damages or even lack of damages. Video may also be considered; however, videos that attempt to show these types of damages are often lacking in detail. • Floor level surveys of nearby structures may be considered especially if pre- existing damage is evident. • Vibrations from construction equipment may be monitored with portable seismographs during excavation. • Surveys to monitor lateral and vertical position of adjacent improvements and shoring elements is recommended. • It is recommended that the Project Geologist be on-site during excavation in order to evaluate conditions as the project advances. Construction activities, particularly excavation equipment, produce vibrations that can be felt by occupants of adjoining properties. People will often be annoyed by the noise and vibration caused by construction activities, which prompts them to personally perform detailed inspections of their property for damage. Pre-existing damage, that previously went unnoticed, can be unfairly attributed to current construction activities, particularly when pre-construction property inspections are not performed. At that point, it may be difficult to determine what caused the damage, especially damages such as wall separations, cracks in drywall, stucco and masonry. Other common problems that may be scrutinized can include uneven doors, sticking windows, tile cracks, leaning patio posts, fences, gates, etc. Implementation of measures such as those listed above can help avoid conflicts by monitoring construction activities that may be problematic as well as provide valuable data to defend against unwarranted claims. PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 14 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Foundation Design 1. General It is anticipated that foundation elements for the planned structure will bear in re- compacted fill and will utilize a mat slab foundation. The near surface materials are expected to exhibit a very low expansion potential. The following recommendations are based on the geotechnical data available and are subject to revision based on conditions actually encountered in the field. Foundations and slabs should be designed for the intended use and loading by the Structural Engineer. Our recommendations are considered to be generally consistent with the standards of practice. They are based on both analytical methods and empirical methods derived from experience with similar geotechnical conditions. These recommendations are considered the minimum necessary for the likely soil conditions and are not intended to supersede the design of the Structural Engineer or criteria of governing agencies. 2. Bearing Capacity for Foundations A mat slab may be utilized to support the proposed structure. The purpose of the mat slab system is to help mitigate potential earthquake effects, static and seismic settlement and to provide an appropriate foundation in the local marine environment. The allowable bearing capacity for a mat slab type system founded in re-compacted fill should not exceed 1,800 pounds per square foot. This value may be increased by one- third for short-term wind or seismic loading; however, there is no increase in bearing value with depth. A minimum slab thickness of 12-inches is recommended. For design of a mat foundation system, a modulus of subgrade reaction of 100 pounds per cubic inch may be considered (172 kips per cubic foot). The subgrade is expected to consist of sand. Actual thickness, depths and widths of the foundation and slab system should be governed by CBC requirements and the structural engineering design. 3. Settlement Static Static settlement is anticipated to be on the order of 0.5-inch total and less than 0.25- inch differential between adjacent similarly loaded columns (approximately 30 feet assumed horizontal distance), provided that the recommended site grading is implemented first and that the bearing capacity values given above are not exceeded. These estimates should be confirmed when structural engineering plans are prepared and foundation load conditions are determined. PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 15 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Dynamic Potential seismic dry sand and liquefaction-induced settlement based on current estimates of peak ground accelerations during an earthquake was calculated to be 0.75- inch total within the upper 16.5 feet (see Appendix E). Additional seismic settlement is possible below that depth. The underlying stratigraphy is fairly uniform below the planned development area; therefore, differential seismic settlement can be estimated as approximately one-half of the total estimated settlement, or on the order of 1.9- inches across a span of about 30 feet (Martin and Lew, 1999). Seismically-induced settlements were estimated by using the procedure of Boulanger and Idriss (2010-16) and Tokimatsu and Seed (1987). These methods are based on empirical data from past seismic events that have been studied and are, therefore, approximate. 4. Lateral Resistance Lateral loads may be resisted by passive pressure forces developed in front of the slab/foundation system and by friction acting at the base of the slab. Allowable lateral resistance should not exceed 150 pounds per square foot per foot of depth equivalent fluid pressure. Resistance to sliding can be calculated using a coefficient of friction of 0.25. These values may be used in combination per 2019 CBC, Section 1806.3.1. 5. Footing Reinforcement Two No. 5 bars should be placed at the top and two at the bottom of continuous footings in order to resist potential movement due to various factors such as subsurface imperfections and seismic shaking. Dowelled connections between the slab and footings should be provided and should consist of No. 4 bars at 24-inches on center maximum spacing. Quantity and placement of reinforcing steel should be determined by the Structural Engineer. Slab-On-Grade Construction Slabs should be designed in accordance with the 2019 CBC and the requirements of the City of Newport Beach. On-site materials were determined to be non-plastic. Concrete floor slabs should be at least 12-inches thick (actual). Slab design and reinforcement should be determined by the Structural Engineer; however, the minimum slab reinforcement should consist of No. 4 bars at 12-inches on-center in each direction placed at the top and bottom of the slab (or approved equivalent). These recommendations assume that the subsurface soils have first been densified as recommended above. Slabs should be underlain by 4-inches of open-graded gravel. Slab underlayment is deferred to the Project Architect; however, in accordance with the American Concrete Institute, we suggest that slabs be underlain by a 15-mil thick vapor retarder/barrier (Stego Wrap or equivalent) placed over a layer of woven geofabric (such as Mirafi 140N) over the gravel in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E1745 and E1643. Slab subgrade soils should be well moistened prior to placement of the vapor retarder. All subgrade materials should be geotechnically approved prior to placing the gravel for the slab underlayment. The above recommendations are provided PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 16 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 for vapor transmission considerations but do not provide for waterproofing of the slab in the local marine environment. If flooding is a concern, additional underlayment measures may be appropriate and should be addressed by the Civil Engineer and/or Project Architect. Exterior flatwork elements should be a minimum 4-inches thick (actual) and reinforced with No. 3 bars 18-inches on center both ways. Subgrade soils should be well moistened prior to placing concrete. Seismic Design Based on the geotechnical data and site parameters, the following table is provided based on ASCE/SEI 7-16 using the ASCE Hazard Tool to satisfy the 2019 CBC design criteria. A site- specific Ground-Motion Hazard Analysis (GMHA) was not performed for the site. Site and Seismic Design Criteria For 2019 CBC Design Parameters Recommended Values Site Class D (Default - Stiff Soil) * Site Longitude (degrees) -117.951252 W Site Latitude (degrees) 33.626932 N Ss (g) 1.394 g S1 (g) 0.499 g SMs (g) 1.672 g SM1 (g) 0.899 g SDs (g) 1.115 g SD1 (g) 0.599 g Fa 1.2 Fv 1.801 Seismic Design Category D *Per ASCE 7-16, Section 11.4.8, the above values may be used provided the value of the seismic response coefficient Cs is determined by Eq.

This is due to the value of S1 greater than or equal to 0.2 g for this site. The values above are generally applicable for typical residential structures. The Structural Engineer should verify that Section 11.4.8 is satisfied per the above.

A Site-Specific GMHA can be performed at an additional cost if requested. Supporting documentation is also included in a previous section of this report, Site Classification for Seismic Design, and in Appendix F. Structural Design of Retaining Walls 1. Lateral Loads No retaining walls are currently planned at the site. Active pressure forces acting on backfilled retaining walls which support level ground may be computed based on an equivalent fluid pressure of 35 pounds per cubic foot. Restrained retaining walls should add an additional 6H pounds per cubic foot for at-rest loading, where H is the retained height of the soil. Other topographic and structural surcharges should be addressed by the Structural Engineer. Minor wall rotations should be anticipated for walls that are free to rotate at the top and considered in design of walls and adjacent improvements. 2. Earthquake Loads on Retaining Walls The Structural Engineer should determine if there are retaining walls at the site within their purview that will be subject to design lateral loads due to earthquake events. Section 1803.5.12 of the 2019 CBC states that the geotechnical investigation shall include the determination of dynamic seismic lateral earth pressures on foundation walls and retaining walls supporting more than 6 feet (1.83 m) of backfill height due to design earthquake ground motions. No walls are planned and, therefore, the site development is not subject to the design requirements of Section 1803.5.12. 3. Foundation Bearing Values for Walls Footings for retaining walls may be designed in accordance with the recommendations provided above for building foundations and should be embedded in compacted fill at a minimum depth of 18-inches below the lowest adjacent grade. 4. Wall Backfill The on-site soils are suitable for use as retaining wall backfill. Imported backfill, if needed, should consist of select, non-expansive soil or gravel. Gravel may consist of pea gravel or crushed rock. Where space for compaction equipment is adequate, on-site or imported granular, non-expansive sand materials may be compacted into place in thin lifts per the compaction requirements provided herein. Imported pea gravel or crushed rock should be placed in lifts and tamped or vibrated into place. The lift thickness for gravel is dependent on the type of material and method of compaction. Gravel lifts of 18- to 24-inches or less are recommended. The Geotechnical Engineer should observe the backfill placement of soil or gravel behind each wall following approval of wall PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 18 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 backdrains. Gravel wall backfill material should be covered with a suitable filter fabric such as Mirafi 140N and capped with on-site soil or concrete. Fill soils should be free of debris, organic matter, cobbles and rock fragments greater than 6-inches in diameter. Fill materials should be placed in 6- to 8-inch maximum lifts at above optimum moisture content and compacted under the observation and testing of the Soil Engineer. The recommended minimum density for compacted material is 90 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D1557-12. Field density tests should be performed at intervals of 2 vertical feet or less within the backfill zone and in accordance with agency requirements at the time of grading. 5. Subdrains An approved exterior foundation subdrain system should be used to achieve control of seepage forces behind retaining walls. The details of such subdrain systems are deferred to the Wall Designer, Builder or Waterproofing Consultant. The subdrain is not a substitute for waterproofing. Water in subdrain systems should be collected and delivered to suitable disposal locations or facilities. Additional recommendations may be provided when plans are available. 6. Dampproofing and Waterproofing Waterproofing in consideration of the local marine environment should be installed in accordance with the architectural specifications or those of a Waterproofing Consultant. The criteria in Section 1805 of the 2019 CBC should be followed as a minimum. Hardscape Design and Construction Hardscape improvements may utilize conventional foundations in compacted fill. Such improvements should be designed in accordance with the foundation recommendations presented above. Cracking and offsets at joints are possible; however, occurrence may be minimized by appropriate drainage and the use of thickened edge beams to limit moisture transfer below slabs. Concrete flatwork should be divided into as nearly square panels as possible. Joints should be provided at maximum 8 feet intervals to give articulation to the concrete panels (shorter spacing is recommended if needed to square the panels). Landscaping and planters adjacent to concrete flatwork should be designed in such a manner as to direct drainage away from concrete areas to approved outlets. Planters located adjacent to principal foundation elements should be sealed and drained; this is especially important if they are near retaining wall backfills. Flatwork elements should be a minimum 4-inches thick (actual) and reinforced with No. 3 bars 18-inches on center both ways. Subgrade soils should be well moistened prior to placement of concrete. PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 19 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Concrete Construction Components in Contact with Soil Testing of the on-site sandy soils resulted in a low soluble sulfate content. Various components within the concrete may be subject to corrosion over time when exposed to soluble sulfates and chemical attack. To help mitigate corrosion, sulfate resistant cement should be used in concrete that may be in contact with on-site soils or ground source water. Attention to maximum water- cement ratio and the minimum compressive strength may also help mitigate deterioration of concrete components. The sulfate testing is presented in the attached Appendix C, Laboratory Test Results. Type V cement or an appropriate alternate is, therefore, recommended with a maximum water- cement ratio of 0.5 percent. The minimum concrete compressive strength should be at least 4,000 pounds per square inch. It is recommended that a concrete expert be retained to design an appropriate concrete mix to address the structural requirements. In lieu of retaining a concrete expert, it is recommended that the 2019 CBC, Section 1904 and 1905, be utilized which refers to ACI 318. Testing should be performed during grading when fill materials are identified to confirm the sulfate concentration. Metal Construction Components in Contact with Soil Corrosivity test results indicate a low potential for corrosion (7,600 ohm-cm when saturated) within the sample tested; however various concentrations of salts may be present in the marine environment. Metal rebar encased in concrete, iron pipes, copper pipes, lift shafts, air conditioner units, etc., that are in contact with soil or water that permeates the soil should be protected from corrosion that may result from salts contained in the soil. Recommendations to mitigate damage due to corrosive soils, if needed, should be provided by a qualified corrosion specialist. Test results are included in Appendix C. Finished Grade and Surface Drainage Finished grades should be designed and constructed so that no water ponds in the vicinity of footings. Drainage design in accordance with the 2019 CBC, Section 1804.4, is recommended or per local City requirements. Roof gutters should be provided and outflow directed away from the house in a non-erosive manner as specified by the Project Civil Engineer or Landscape Architect. Surface and subsurface water should be directed away from building areas. Proper interception and disposal of on-site surface discharge is presumed to be a matter of civil engineering or landscape architectural design. Infiltration A minimum setback of 3 feet from the nearest foundation is recommended for large volume runoff. Simple trench drains and permeable pavement surfaces may be allowable without setback with appropriate agency and geotechnical review and approvals. Proposed water infiltration features should be reviewed and approved by the Geotechnical Consultant. It is our opinion that typical gravel trenches and permeable hardscape for periodic water infiltration into PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 20 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 the on-site soil is acceptable from a geologic and geotechnical standpoint. The water levels are expected to be at a depth of about 8 feet below grade based on our borings. The water table is ultimately tidal in nature and introduction of the infiltration water is not expected to raise the water level or create new perched water zones. These types of infiltration will, therefore, not be expected to create any geohazards due to modification of groundwater levels. Planned infiltration design and BMP devices should be reviewed by our office prior to construction. Foundation Plan Review The undersigned should review final foundation plans and specifications prior to their submission to the building official for issuance of permits. The review is to be performed only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with design concepts and the information provided herein. Review shall not include evaluation of the accuracy or completeness of details, such as quantities, dimensions, weights or gauges, fabrication processes, construction means or methods, coordination of the work with other trades or construction safety precautions, all of which are the sole responsibility of the Contractor. R McCarthy Consulting, Inc.’s, review shall be conducted with reasonable promptness while allowing sufficient time in our judgment to permit adequate review. Review of a specific item shall not indicate that R McCarthy Consulting, Inc., has reviewed the entire system of which the item is a component. R McCarthy Consulting, Inc., shall not be responsible for any deviation from the Contract Documents not brought to our attention in writing by the Contractor. R McCarthy Consulting, Inc., shall not be required to review partial submissions or those for which submissions of correlated items have not been received. Utility Trench Backfill Utility trench backfill should be placed in accordance with Appendix D, Standard Grading Guidelines. It is the Owner’s and Contractor’s responsibility to inform Subcontractors of these requirements and to notify R McCarthy Consulting, Inc., when backfill placement is to begin. It has been our experience that trench backfill requirements are rigorously enforced by the City of Newport Beach. The on-site soils are anticipated to be generally suitable for use as trench backfill; however, silt materials may be difficult to mix and compact to a uniform condition. The use of imported backfill is sometimes more efficient when silt soil materials are at high moisture contents. Fill materials should be placed at near optimum moisture content and compacted under the observation and testing of the Soil Engineer. The minimum dry density required for compacted backfill material is 90 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D1557-12. Pre-Grade Meeting A pre-job conference should be held with representative of the Owner, Contractor, Architect, Civil Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer, and Building Official prior to commencement of construction to clarify any questions relating to the intent of these recommendations or additional recommendations. PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 21 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 OBSERVATION AND TESTING General Geotechnical observation and testing during construction is required to verify proper removal of unsuitable materials, check that foundation excavations are clean and founded in competent material, to test for proper moisture content and proper degree of compaction of fill, to test and observe placement of wall and trench backfill materials, and to confirm design assumptions. It is noted that the CBC requires continuous verification and testing during placement of fill, pile driving, and pier/caisson drilling. An R McCarthy Consulting, Inc., representative shall observe the site at intervals appropriate to the phase of construction, as notified by the Contractor, in order to observe the work completed by the Contractor. Such visits and observation are not intended to be an exhaustive check or a detailed inspection of the Contractor’s work but rather are to allow R McCarthy Consulting, Inc., as an experienced professional, to become generally familiar with the work in progress and to determine, in general, if the grading and construction is in accordance with the recommendations of this report. R McCarthy Consulting, Inc., shall not supervise, direct, or control the Contractor’s work. R McCarthy Consulting, Inc., shall have no responsibility for the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures selected by the Contractor, the Contractor’s safety precautions or programs in connection with the work. These rights and responsibilities are solely those of the Contractor. R McCarthy Consulting, Inc., shall not be responsible for any acts or omission of any entity performing any portion of the work, including the Contractor, Subcontractor, or any agents or employees of any of them. R McCarthy Consulting, Inc., does not guarantee the performance of any other parties on the project site, including the Contractor, and shall not be responsible for the Contractor’s failure to perform its work in accordance with the Contract Documents or any applicable law, codes, rules or regulations. Construction-phase observations are beyond the scope of this investigation and budget and are conducted on a time and material basis. The responsibility for timely notification of the start of construction and ongoing geotechnically-involved phases of construction is that of the Owner and his Contractor. We request at least 48 hours’ notice when such services are required. Geotechnical Observation/Testing Activities during Grading and Construction The Geotechnical Consultant should be notified to observe and test the following activities during grading and construction: • To observe proper removal of unsuitable materials; • To observe the bottom of removals for all excavations for the building pad grading, trenching, exterior site improvements, etc.; • To observe side cut excavations for grading, retaining walls, trenches, etc.; • To test for proper moisture content and proper degree of compaction of fill; PA2021-078 January 25, 2021 File No: 8496-00 Report No: R1-8496 Page: 22 R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 • To check that foundation excavations are clean and founded in competent material; • To check the slab subgrade materials prior to placing the gravel, vapor barrier and concrete; • To check retaining wall subdrain installation; • To test and observe placement of wall backfill materials; • To test and observe placement of all trench backfill materials; • To test and observe patio, driveway apron and sidewalk subgrade materials; • To observe any other fills or backfills that may be constructed at the site. It is noted that this list should be used as a guideline. Additional observations and testing may be required per local agency, code, project, Contractor and geotechnical requirements at the time of the actual construction. LIMITATIONS This investigation has been conducted in accordance with, and limited to, generally accepted practice in the engineering geologic and soils engineering field, and in accordance with services provided by geotechnical consultants practicing in the same or similar locality under the same or similar circumstances. No further warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to the conclusions and professional advice included in this report. Conclusions and recommendations presented are based on subsurface conditions encountered and are not meant to imply that we have control over the natural site conditions. The samples taken and used for testing, the observations made and the field testing performed are believed representative of the general project area; however, soil and geologic conditions can vary significantly between tested or observed locations. Site geotechnical conditions may change with time due to natural processes or the works of man on this or adjacent properties. In addition, changes in applicable or appropriate standards may occur as a result of the broadening of knowledge, new legislation, or agency requirements. The recommendations presented herein are, therefore, arbitrarily set as valid for one year from the report date. The recommendations are also specific to the current proposed development. Changes in proposed land use or development may require supplemental investigation or recommendations. Also, independent use of this report without appropriate geotechnical consultation is not approved or recommended.

One hand- auger boring was advanced to a depth of 6.5 feet on November 16, 2020. A flight auger boring was drilled to a depth of 16.5 feet with the Pacific Drilling Mini-mole drill rig on November 17, 2020. The approximate locations of the borings are shown on the Geotechnical Plot Plan, Figure 1. The Boring Logs are included as Figures B-2 and B-3. A Key to Logs is included as Figure B-1. Excavation of the borings was observed by our field geologist who logged the soils and obtained samples for identification and laboratory testing. The exploratory excavations were located in the field by pacing from known landmarks. Their locations as shown are, therefore, within the accuracy of such measurements. Elevations were determined by interpolation between points on the Topographic Survey prepared by RdM Surveying, Inc., Reference 1. Sample Program 1. Drill Rig - Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) may be performed to determine the in-place relative densities and consistencies of the underlying soils. The test involves the number of blows it takes for a 140-pound hammer falling 30-inches to drive a 2-inch (outer diameter)/ 1 3/8-inch inner diameter) split spoon sampler (ASTM D1586). These blow counts are given in blows per 6-inch driving interval for a sample with a length of 18- inches. SPT samples were immediately sealed in individual plastic bags. 2. Bulk samples representative of subsurface conditions were collected from the excavations, sealed in plastic bags and transported to our laboratory. Summary The soils were classified based on field observations and laboratory tests. The classification is in accordance with ASTM D2487 (the Unified Soil Classification System). Collected samples were transported to the laboratory for testing. Ground water was encountered at a depth 8 feet in Boring B-1 on November 17, 2020. Caving occurred in Boring HA-1 at a depth of 6 feet.

Our testing was supplemented with tests performed by HDR, Inc. Soils were classified visually and per the results of laboratory testing according to ASTM D2487, the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). The field moisture content of the soils encountered were determined by performing laboratory tests on the collected samples. The results of the moisture tests and soil classifications are shown on the Boring Logs, Figures B-2 and B-3. Maximum Density The maximum dry density and optimum moisture content relationships were determined for representative samples of the on-site soil. The laboratory standard used was ASTM D1557. The test results are presented below in Table C-1 and on Figure C-1. TABLE C-1 RESULTS OF MAXIMUM DRY DENSITY AND OPTIMUM MOISTURE CONTENT ASTM D1557 Gradation Particle size analysis consisting of mechanical sieve analysis were performed on representative samples of the on-site soils in accordance with ASTM D 1140 and C-136.

No deviation from these guidelines will be allowed, except where specifically superseded in the geotechnical report signed by a registered geotechnical engineer. The placement, spreading, mixing, watering, and compaction of the fills in strict accordance with these guidelines shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor. The construction, excavation, and placement of fill shall be under the direct observation of the geotechnical engineer or any person or persons employed by the licensed geotechnical engineer signing the soils report. If unsatisfactory soil-related conditions exist, the geotechnical engineer shall have the authority to reject the compacted fill ground and, if necessary, excavation equipment will be shut down to permit completion of compaction. Conformance with these specifications will be discussed in the final report issued by the geotechnical engineer. SITE PREPARATION All brush, vegetation and other deleterious material such as rubbish shall be collected, piled and removed from the site prior to placing fill, leaving the site clear and free from objectionable material. Soil, alluvium, or rock materials determined by the geotechnical engineer as being unsuitable for placement in compacted fills shall be removed from the site. Any material incorporated as part of a compacted fill must be approved by the geotechnical engineer. The surface shall then be plowed or scarified to a minimum depth of 6-inches until the surface is free from uneven features that would tend to prevent uniform compaction by the equipment used. After the area to receive fill has been cleared and scarified, it shall be disced or bladed by the contractor until it is uniform and free from large clods, brought to the proper moisture content and compacted to minimum requirements. If the scarified zone is greater than 12-inches in depth, the excess shall be removed and placed in lifts restricted to 6-inches. Any underground structures such as cesspools, cisterns, mining shafts, tunnels, septic tanks, wells, pipe lines or others not located prior to grading are to be removed or treated in a manner prescribed by the geotechnical engineer. MATERIALS Materials for compacted fill shall consist of materials previously approved by the geotechnical engineer. Fill materials may be excavated from the cut area or imported from other approved sources, and soils from one or more sources may be blended. Fill PA2021-078 APPENDIX D STANDARD GRADING GUIDELINES (6503 Seashore Drive) R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 soils shall be free from organic (vegetation) materials and other unsuitable substances. Normally, the material shall contain no rocks or hard lumps greater than 6-inches in size and shall contain at least 50 percent of material smaller than 1/4-inch in size. Materials greater than 4-inches in size shall be placed so that they are completely surrounded by compacted fines; no nesting of rocks shall be permitted. No material of a perishable, spongy, or otherwise of an unsuitable nature shall be used in the fill soils. Representative samples of materials to be utilized, as compacted fill shall be analyzed in the laboratory by the geotechnical engineer to determine their physical properties. If any material other than that previously tested is encountered during grading, the appropriate analysis of this material shall be conducted by the geotechnical engineer in a timely manner. PLACING, SPREADING, AND COMPACTING FILL MATERIAL Soil materials shall be uniformly and evenly processed, spread, watered, and compacted in thin lifts not to exceed 6-inches in thickness. Achievement of a uniformly dense and uniformly moisture conditioned compacted soil layer should be the objective of the equipment operators performing the work for the Owner and Contractor. When the moisture content of the fill material is below that specified by the geotechnical engineer, water shall be added by the contractor until the moisture content is near optimum as specified. Moisture levels should generally be at optimum moisture content or greater. When the moisture content of the fill material is above that specified by the geotechnical engineer, the fill material shall be aerated by the contractor by blading, mixing, or other satisfactory methods until the moisture content is near the specified level. After each layer has been placed, mixed, and spread evenly, it shall be thoroughly compacted to 90 percent of the maximum laboratory density in compliance with ASTM D1557 (five layers). Compaction shall be accomplished by sheepsfoot rollers, vibratory rollers, multiple-wheel pneumatic-tired rollers, or other types of acceptable compacting equipment. Equipment shall be of such design that it will be able to compact the fill to the specified density. Compaction shall be continuous over the entire area and the equipment shall make sufficient passes to obtain the desired density uniformly. A minimum relative compaction of 90 percent out to the finished slope face of all fill slopes will be required. Compacting of the slopes shall be accomplished by backrolling the slopes in increments of 2 to 5 feet in elevation gain or by overbuilding and cutting back to the compacted inner core, or by any other procedure, which produces the required compaction. PA2021-078 APPENDIX D STANDARD GRADING GUIDELINES (6503 Seashore Drive) R McCarthy Consulting, Inc. 23 Corporate Plaza, Suite 150, Newport Beach, CA 92660 GRADING OBSERVATIONS The geotechnical engineer shall observe the fill placement during the course of the grading process and will prepare a written report upon completion of grading. The compaction report shall make a statement as to compliance with these guidelines. As a minimum, one density test shall be required for each 2 vertical feet of fill placed, or one for each 1,000 cubic yards of fill, whichever requires the greater number of tests; however, testing should not be limited based on these guidelines and more testing is generally preferable. Processed ground to receive fill, including removal areas such as canyon or swale cleanouts, must be observed by the geotechnical engineer and/or engineering geologist prior to fill placement. The contractor shall notify the geotechnical engineer when these areas are ready for observation. UTILITY LINE BACKFILL Utility line backfill beneath and adjacent to structures; beneath pavements; adjacent and parallel to the toe of a slope; and in sloping surfaces steeper than ten horizontal to one vertical (10:1), shall be compacted and tested in accordance with the criteria given in the text of this report. Alternately, relatively self-compacting material may be used. The material specification and method of placement shall be recommended and observed by the soil engineer, and approved by the geotechnical engineer and Building Official before use and prior to backfilling. Utility line backfill in areas other than those stated above are generally subject to similar compaction standards and will require approval by the soil engineer. The final utility line backfill report from the project soil engineer shall include an approval statement that the backfill is suitable for the intended use. PROTECTION OF WORK During the grading process and prior to the complete construction of permanent drainage controls, it shall be the responsibility of the contractor to provide good drainage and prevent ponding of water and damage to adjoining properties or to finished work on the site.
