SCOPE OF STUDY
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
GEOLOGIC AND SEISMIC SAFETY STUDY
The study shall consist of four principal tasks:
1. The collection and compilation of existing geologic, soils,
and seismic data.
2. An assessment of existing data and specific factors for
further study:
3, The study and analysis of high- priority geologic, soils, and
seismic factors,
4, The development and review of specific criteria as related
to land use planning.
Task I, Collection and Compilation of Existing Data
Activities under this initial task shall consist of those efforts required
to gather and compile all available data on the geologic, soils, and
seismic conditions of the Newport Bea,:h area, This data shall include,
but not be limited to, information related tc the following geologic,
soils, and seismic aspects:
1. local geologic formations
2. soil erosion
3. expansive /collapsible soils
4. slope stability
5. shoreline regression
6, mineral resource depletion
7, land subsidence
8. earthquakes
9• fault rupture
10. tsunami
Data to be gathered by the City staff will include aerial photographs,
topographic maps and geologic maps and reports of the Newport Beach area
from City files.

The Consultant shall review all available existing literature and data
from other sources and gather such information as may be obtainable to
complete the data based Information gathered from all sources shall
be compiled in such a form as to be readily available for future use by
both the Consultant and City staff.
Task II. Assessment of Existi Data
Upon review of the existing available data gathered under Task I, it is
anticipated that several geologic, soils and seismic factors will be
identified that require further study. The Consultant shall identify
these factors, and in cooperation with the City staff, assign priority
rankings to each factor.
The Consultant shall also develop and submit to the City staff, a phasing
program for the continuance of such studies as determined to be beyond
the present study scope.
Task III. Study anc. Anal sis_of High - Priority Factors
It is presently anticipated that the following geotechnical factors or
conditions will require further study beyond the level of information
provided from Task I. As a part of the Scope of Study, these would
include:
1. Slope stability - particularly along the shoreline of Upper
Newport Bay, the coastline south of Newport Bay, and the
coastal strip south of Corona del Mar.
2. Soil erosion - in all areas, and particularly in the zone
surrounding Upper Newport Bay.
3. Shoreline regression - particularly in the coastal zone
extending south from Newport Bay.
4. Seismic conditions - the relative susceptibility of all
areas to seismic hazards, including surface ruptures from
faulting, to ground motions, and to soil liquefaction,

Task IV, Development of Criteria for Land Use Planning_
From the various geologic, soils and seismic data and factors studied
under the previous tasks, the Consultant shall develop and recommend specific
criteris by which to assess the type, design and location of buildings and
land uses within various geo- physical areas of the City. These criteria
will be designed to allow the land use planner, as well as the civil or,
structural engineer to assess the relative impact of geologic, soils and
seismic conditions on development throughout. the City and to effect
various trade -off options,
In order that effective use can be made of the geologic, soils and
seismic data that is to be gathered and analyzed during the course of the
study, the following conditions should be niet.
1. The data should be presented in such a form as can be
readily interpreted and used by study groups carrying out
investiga-.ions of other elements of the General Plan.
2e The data should be presented in a manner which is readily
understandable by non- technical per °sons
3, The data should be in a form which allows continual
upgrading as more information becomes available in the future,
4. The methodology for upgrading data banks should be presented
in sufficient detail to allow eventual turnover to City staff,
5. The geologic, soils and seismic: study should develop
guidelines for further study, not only by public agencies,
but more importantly, studies which become a routine
requirement of private developers.
6. The geologic, soils and seismic: study should make full use
of current state -of -the -art techniques,
-3-

Data developed during the course of the study shall be presented in both
map and report form. All maps shall be in a form suitable for the
addition of future information: The City shall furnish the Consultant
with a base topographic map of a scale of 1" - 800° from which to develop
the maps,
The report will interp ^et and present data used in the development of the
maps; a discussion of the potential impact of the information contained
on the maps, and the Consultants recommendations regarding future studies.
The maps to be included are as follows.
1. Geologic tLak - This map will present the distribution of
geologic units within the study area, the structural
character and composition of the formations, and other
basic geologic and engineering properties of each unit.
Developed primarily from existing data, this map will
form one of the data bases from which other maps may be
developed..
2, Expansive/Collapsible Soils MLA - The Consultant will
present in this map existing and potential areas containing
expansive soils and collapsible soil sets, as well as a
rating of the expansion potential of the former materials,
3. Active Fault
_Ma - This map shall identify the location of
recent and active faults throuchout the study area, and in
particular the Newport - Inglewood Fault which passes through
the corporate limits of the City. The Consultant will ascer-
tain the surface traces of this fault, determine whether
movement has taken place along these traces, and will present
zones of movement or potential movement in relation to faults,
4. Map of Areas Subject to Soil Liquefaction - If a major
earthquake were to occur on the Newport- Inglewood Fault, it
is conceivable that certain near -shore areas might undergo
liquefaction, or a momentary loss of strength. The
Consultant, will define such potential liquefaction zones
BEIM
N

through the use of a dynamic- stress computer analysis,
using representative soil profiles of the various local,
near - shore conditions,
5. Mai of Areas Subject t Tsunami - Data developed by the
Corps of Engineers and other agencies relating to tsunami
hazard will be presented by this map. Such data will
provide information to be used in conjunction with shoreline
planning efforts, to identify the potential hazard from
such earthquake generated sea wages,
6. Ground Response Spectra Zone hlap - The Consultant will
develop and delineate upon this map various response - spectrum
zones utilizing a dynamic- stress computer program, at the same
time the soil liquefaction stUdies are being carried out. By
developing and utilizing estimated ground motion characteristics
the Consultant will determine the characteristic response
spectrum at the surface of sites or, areas throughout the City.
An analysis and recommendations will be made by the Consultant
as to the type, design and location of buildings and land uses
within each area designated on the map,
The City staff, insofar as practical, will provide the Consultant with
assistance in drafting services, report reproduction, and other allied
services,
