5 MODULAR WETLANDS LINEAR COMPONENTS LIST
The MWL system comes in multiple sizes and configurations, including side by side or end to end layouts, both as open planters or underground systems. See shop drawings (plans) for project specific details.
The standard MWL system is comprised of the following components:
6 INSPECTION SUMMARY & EQUIPMENT LIST
Stormwater regulations require BMPs be inspected and maintained to ensure they are operating as designed to allow for effective pollutant removal and provide protection to receiving water bodies. It is recommended that inspections be performed multiple times during the first year to assess the site-specific loading conditions. The first year of inspections can be used to set inspection and maintenance intervals for subsequent years to ensure appropriate maintenance is provided.
Inspect pre-treatment, biofiltration, and discharge chambers an average of once every six to twelve months. Varies based on site specific and local conditions. Average inspection time is approximately 15 minutes. Always ensure appropriate safety protocol and procedures are followed.
The following is a list of equipment required to allow for simple and effective inspection of the MWL:

Flashlight Tape Measure Access Cover Hook
Ratchet
& 7/16” Socket
(if required for older pre-filter
cartridges that have two
bolts holding the lids on)
7 INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE NOTES
1. Following maintenance and/or inspection, it is recommended that the maintenance operator prepare a maintenance/inspection record. The record should include any maintenance activities performed, amount and description of debris collected, and condition of the system and its various filter mechanisms.
2. The owner should keep maintenance/inspection record(s) for a minimum of five years from the date of maintenance. These records should be made available to the governing municipality for inspection upon request at any time.
3. Transport all debris, trash, organics, and sediments to approved facility for disposal in accordance with local and state requirements.
4. Entry into chambers may require confined space training based on state and local regulations.
5. No fertilizer shall be used in the biofiltration chamber.
6. Irrigation should be provided as recommended by manufacturer and/or landscape architect. Amount of irrigation required is dependent on plant species. Some plants may not require irrigation after initial establishment.
INSPECTION PROCESS
1. Prepare the inspection form by writing in the necessary information including project name, location, date & time, unit number and other information (see inspection form).
2. Observe the inside of the system through the access covers. If minimal light is available and vision into the unit is impaired, utilize a flashlight to see inside the system and all chambers.
3. Look for any out of the ordinary obstructions in the inflow pipe, pre-treatment chamber, biofiltration chamber, discharge chamber or outflow pipe. Write down any observations on the inspection form.
4. Through observation and/or digital photographs, estimate the amount of trash, debris accumulated in the pretreatment chamber. Utilizing a tape measure or measuring stick, estimate the amount of sediment in this chamber. Record this depth on the inspection form.
5. Through visual observation, inspect the condition of the pre-filter cartridges. Look for excessive build-up of sediment on the cartridges, any build-up on the tops of the cartridges, or clogging of the holes. Record this information on the inspection form. The pre-filter cartridges can be further inspected by removing the cartridge tops and assessing the color of the BioMediaGREEN filter cubes (requires entry into pre-treatment chamber - see notes previous notes regarding confined space entry). Record the color of the material. New material is a light green color. As the media becomes clogged, it will turn darker in color, eventually becoming dark brown or black. The closer to black the media is the higher percentage that the media is exhausted and in need of replacement.
8 6. The biofiltration chamber is generally maintenance-free due to the system’s advanced pre-treatment chamber.
For units which have open planters with vegetation, it is recommended that the vegetation be inspected. Look for any plants that are dead or showing signs of disease or other negative stressors. Record the general health of the plants on the inspection form and indicate through visual observation or digital photographs if trimming of the vegetation is required.
7. The discharge chamber houses the control riser (if applicable), drain down filter (only in California - older models), and is connected to the outflow pipe. It is important to check to ensure the orifice is in proper operating condition and free of any obstructions. It is also important to assess the condition of the drain down filter media which utilizes a block form of the BioMediaGREEN. Assess in the same manner as the cubes in the pre-filter cartridge as mentioned above.
8. Finalize the inspection report for analysis by the maintenance manager to determine if maintenance is required.
9 MAINTENANCE INDICATORS
Based upon the observations made during inspection, maintenance of the system may be required based on the following indicators:
Missing or damaged internal components or cartridges. Obstructions in the system or its inlet and/or outlet pipes. Excessive accumulation of floatables in the pre-treatment chamber in which the length and width of the chamber is fully impacted more than 18”.
Excessive accumulation of sediment in the pre-treatment chamber of more than 6” in depth. Excessive accumulation of sediment on the BioMediaGREEN media housed within the pretreatment cartridges.
When media is more than 85% clogged, replacement is required. The darker the BioMediaGREEN, the more clogged it is and in need of replacement.
Excessive accumulation of sediment on the BioMediaGREEN media housed within the drain down filter (California only - older models).
Overgrown vegetation.
MAINTENANCE SUMMARY & EQUIPMENT LIST
The time has come to maintain your MWL. All necessary pre-maintenance steps must be carried out before maintenance occurs. Once traffic control has been set up per local and state regulations and access covers have been safely opened, the maintenance process can begin. It should be noted that some maintenance activities require confined space entry.
All confined space requirements must be strictly followed before entry into the system. In addition, the following is recommended:
Prepare the maintenance form by writing in the necessary information including project name, location, date & time, unit number and other info (see maintenance form). Set up all appropriate safety and maintenance equipment. Ensure traffic control is set up and properly positioned. Prepared pre-checks (OSHA, safety, confined space entry) are performed. o A gas meter should be used to detect the presence of any hazardous gases prior to entering the system.
If hazardous gases are present, do not enter the vault. Following appropriate confined space procedures, take steps such as utilizing a venting system to address the hazard. Once it is determined to be safe, enter the system utilizing appropriate entry equipment such as a ladder and tripod with harness.

11 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. ACCESS COVER REMOVAL
Upon determining that the vault is safe for entry, remove all access cover(s) and position the vacuum truck
accordingly.
2. PRESSURE WASH SYSTEM CHAMBERS
With the pressure washer, spray down pollutants
accumulated on the walls and floors of the pretreatment and discharge chambers. Then wash any accumulated sediment from the pre-filter cartridge(s).
3. VACUUM SYSTEM CHAMBERS
Vacuum out pre-treatment and discharge chambers and
remove all accumulated pollutants including trash,
debris, and sediments. Be sure to vacuum the pretreatment floor until the pervious pavers are visible and clean. (MWL systems outside of California may or may
not have pervious pavers on the floor in the pretreatment chamber) If pre-filter cartridges require media replacement, proceed to Step 4. If not, replace the access cover(s) and proceed to Step 7.
12 4. PRE-FILTER CARTRIDGE LID REMOVAL
After successfully cleaning out the pre-treatment
chamber, enter the chamber and remove the lid(s) from
the pre-filter cartridge(s) by removing the two thumb
screws. (Older pre-filter cartridges have two bolts
holding the lids on that require a 7/16” socket to remove)
5. VACUUM EXISTING PRE-FILTER MEDIA
Utilize the vacuum truck hose or hose extension to
remove the filter media from each of the individual
media cages. Once filter media has been sucked out, use a pressure washer to spray down the inside of the
cartridge and its media cages. Remove cleaned media
cages and place to the side. Once removed, the vacuum
hose can be inserted into the cartridge to vacuum out
any remaining material near the bottom of the cartridge.
6. PRE-FILTER MEDIA REPLACEMENT
Reinstall media cages and fill with new media from the
manufacturer or outside supplier. Manufacturer will
provide specification of media and sources to purchase.
The easiest way to fill the media cages is to utilize a refilling tray that can also be sourced from the
manufacturer. Place the refilling tray on top of the
cartridge and fill with new bulk media shaking it down
into the cages. Using your hands, lightly compact the
media into each filter cage. Once the cages are full (each cartridge will hold five heaping 5gal buckets of bulk
media), remove the refilling tray and replace the
cartridge top, ensuring fasteners are properly tightened.
13 7. MAINTAINING VEGETATION
In general, the biofiltration chamber is maintenance-free with the exception of maintaining the vegetation. The
MWL utilizes vegetation similar to surrounding
landscape areas, therefore, trim vegetation to match
surrounding vegetation. If any plants have died, replace them with new ones.
8. INSPECT UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Each vertical under drain on the biofiltration chamber
has a removable threaded cap that can be taken off to
check for any blockages or root growth. Once removed,
a jetting attachment to the pressure washer can be used to clean out the under drain and orifice riser if needed.
9. REPLACE ACCESS COVERS
Once maintenance is complete, replace all access
cover(s)
14 REPLACING BIOFILTRATION MEDIA IF REQUIRED
As with all biofilter systems, at some point the biofiltration media will need to be replaced, either due to physical clogging or sorptive exhaustion (for dissolved pollutants) of the media ion exchange capacity (to remove dissolved metals and phosphorous). The general life of this media is 10 to 20 years based on site specific conditions and pollutant loading, so replacing the biofiltration media should not be a common occurrence. In the event that the biofiltration media requires replacement, contact one of Contech’s Maintenance Team members at https://www.conteches.com/maintenance to order new biofiltration media. The quantity of media needed can be determined by providing the model number and unit depth. Media will be provided in super sacks for easy installation.
Each sack will weigh between 1,000 and 2,000 lbs. Biofiltration media replacement can be done following the steps below:
1. VACUUM EXISTING BIOFILTRATION MEDIA
Remove the mulch and vegetation to access the
biofiltration media, and then position the vacuum truck accordingly. Utilize the vacuum truck to vacuum out all the media. Once all media is removed, use the pressure
washer to spray down all the netting and underdrain
systems on the inside of the media containment cage.
Vacuum out any remaining debris after spraying down
netting. Inspect the netting for any damage or holes. If the netting is damaged, it can be repaired or replaced
with guidance by the manufacturer.
2. INSTALLING NEW BIOFILTRATION MEDIA
Ensure that the chamber is fully cleaned prior to
installation of new media into the media containment
cage(s). Media will be provided in super sacks for easy installation. A lifting apparatus (forklift, backhoe, boom truck, or other) is recommended to position the super
sack over the biofiltration chamber. Add media in lifts to ensure that the riser pipes remain vertical. Be sure to only fill the media cage(s) up to the same level as the old media.
15 3. REPLANT VEGETATION
Once the media has been replaced, replant the
vegetation and cover biofiltration chamber with
approved mulch (if applicable). If the existing vegetation is not being reused, and new vegetation is being
planted, you will need to acquire new plant
establishment media that will be installed just below the mulch layer at each plant location. (see plan drawings for details). Contact one of Contech’s Maintenance Team
members at https://www.conteches.com/maintenance
to order new plant establishment media.
16 REPLACING DRAIN DOWN FILTER MEDIA (ONLY ON OLDER CALIFORNIA MODELS) NOTE: The drain down filter is only found on units installed in California prior to 2023 If during inspection it was determined that the drain down filter media requires replacement, contact one of Contech’s Maintenance Team members at https://www.conteches.com/maintenance to order new media.
1. REMOVE EXISTING DRAIN DOWN MEDIA
Pull knob back to unlock the locking mechanism and lift the drain down filter housing to remove the used
BioMediaGREEN filter block.
2. INSTALL NEW DRAIN DOWN MEDIA
Ensure that the chamber and housing are fully cleaned
prior to installation of new media, and then insert the new BioMediaGREEN filter block. The media filter block
should fit snugly between the chamber walls and be
centered under the filter housing. Lower the housing
over the filter block and secure the locking mechanism.

Pest and Fertilizer Management
All city contractors and employees involved with landscape activities must review and follow the Ventura County Application Protocol for Pesticides, Fertilizers and Herbicides. To obtain a copy, contact the City of Camarillo Storm Water Program Manager, at 805-383-5659.
If possible, a great way to manage pests is through an integrated pest management (IPM) program. It combines biological, cultural, physical and chemical tools to safely control pests. While using pesticides, it is extremely important to follow all directions on the labels to prevent misuse of the product. Ensure no banned or unregistered pesticides such as Diazinion are used or stored. Also, make sure that the pesticide chosen is proven to work on the specific plant or pest needing to be controlled.
Treatments should be made with the goal of only removing the targeted organism. There are certain times where pests are most vulnerable and it’s most effective when they are at this stage, so try to plan pesticide use at these times. If water is flowing off of the area or rain is expected, do not use pesticides as they will just be washed off and end up in the storm drain system. Also, they should only be applied when wind speeds in that area are low. If mixing is required of the pesticides, make sure to prepare them away from storm drains.
Following all label directions exactly as they say is essential to the productiveness and safety of that specific pesticide.
When using fertilizers, work them into the soils not dumping or broadcasting them onto the surface. If it is spilled on pavement or sidewalks, sweep it clean before applying irrigation water. Fertilizers or pesticides should be stored indoors or under a cover on pallets on paved surfaces. Storage facilities should be regularly inspected. Records of quantity of pesticides used per location shall be kept and forwarded to the City’s storm water program manager by June 30th each year.

Landscape Maintenance
When completing landscape maintenance, there are many guidelines to follow to ensure there is no run-off of materials into the storm drain system. When conducting mechanical or manual weed control, avoid loosening the soils and risking erosion. If soil is exposed, use mulch or other erosion controls. Vegetation and clippings are to be kept out of the storm water drainage system. When fueling landscape equipment, do so away from drain inlets.
If materials are temporarily being stockpiled, place them away from storm drains, berming or covering and placing them on pallets to ensure the clippings and prunings do not find their way in the system. If brush cuttings are not chipped, they need to be transported back to the maintenance facility to dispose of correctly. Composting or recycling the landscape waste is ideal.
Remember: Don’t sweep or hose landscape debris into the street where it can end up travelling into our catch basins.
1 A storm drain system is defined as a conveyance including streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, channels, or storm drains.

CONTRACTOR TRAINING
Per the City’s NPDES Permit (order 2021-0105) all city contract employees shall be trained on the overall Storm Water Management Program. Contractor shall train employees on the following mandatory, applicable Best Management Practices (BMPs).
,
Spill Prevention and Control
Preventing and Controlling spills are mandatory in any contractor activity. All contractors should have an emergency spill cleanup plan and materials ready and available. Procedures to prevent spills to storm drain systems1 should be developed as well as developing reporting procedures, containment, storage and disposal activities, documentation, and follow-up procedures. Liquid materials should be stored or contained in a manner that if the container should rupture, the contents of it will not discharge, flow, or be washed into the storm drain system. Containers should be checked daily for leaks and spills and replaced if corroded or leaking. If the liquid is oil, gas or other material that separates from and floats on water, install a spill control device in the catch basins that could collect run-off from the container.
Leaks and spills are to be cleaned up immediately. A stockpile of cleanup materials should be placed where it could be easily accessed. When cleaning up spills on paved surfaces, use as little water as possible. A rag should be used for small spills, a damp mop for general cleanup, and absorbent material for larger spills. If the spill is hazardous, then used cleanup materials should be sent to a certified facility since they are now hazardous. When cleaning up dry materials, use brooms, shovels, sweepers, or plows. Never hose down or bury dry spills. Sweep up the material and dispose of it properly. For chemical cleanups, use absorbents, gels, and foams. When larger spills occur, a private spill cleanup company may be necessary.
Pavement Marking
and Painting
When transporting paint and materials, be sure that
the containers are secured and tied down to the
vehicle. Develop handling procedures for the appropriate use, storage and disposal of the paints.
Drop cloths and drip pans in paint mixing areas
should be provided. Testing and inspecting spray
equipment prior to starting is key to make sure they
function correctly and do not leak. Also before
starting, tighten hoses and connections and when
filling the paint container, do not overfill. Transferring, loading or testing paint and materials should be done away from storm drain inlets. When using
spray equipment, monitor the weather and wind2.
Put protection on the inlets in the area if there is a
possibility of spill reaching them1.
Using water based paints is recommended whenever possible. If paints are to be kept for the next job, ensure that they are stored properly in leak proof containers preferably with secondary containment and if they are to be thrown away, handle their disposal in the correct manner. Before disposing of a product’s container, use the entire product. All secondary containers should be labeled appropriately. When pavement marking, make sure application equipment is maintained properly. Street sweep the thermoplastic grindings. Yellow grindings may contain lead, so special handling may be required. 2 1
Storm Drain Inlet Protections: Install sand or gravel bags and filter fabric at all susceptible storm drain inlets and at manholes to prevent spills into inlet.
2 Remember: Most activities that may produce pollutants when exposed to rainwater should be scheduled during dry weather and not when probability of precipitation is 50% or greater. 3 Do not stockpile materials in or near storm water drainage system. Protect stockpiles with a cover or sediment barriers.
Asphalt
All asphalt activities should be conducted in dry weather conditions2. When cleaning materials, do so over absorbent pads, drip pans, plastic sheeting or other materials to ensure all spillage is captured. Liquid wastes should be collected in a container and have a secure lid, and solid waste should be vacuumed or swept up and secured in the right container.
Both should be transported back to the maintenance facility and recycled, reused or disposed of correctly. To protect drain inlets from potential spills, take the necessary precautions1. When using the roller or evaporative cooling of asphalt, minimize the water usage. Also, be sure to stockpile materials correctly so they do not find their way into the storm drains3 . Before haul-off to a storage site, cover loads with tarp and don't overload the trucks. When doing emergency pothole repairs, apply the same precautions. However, it is not restricted by rain events. The “cold-mix” asphalt stockpile should be stored on a pallet and covered with a protective sheeting.
Concrete
When conducting concrete activities, schedule them for
dry weather conditions2. Stored materials should always be kept under cover, on pallets and away from any drainage areas3 . If cement bags are open, secure them appropriately. Wind-blown cement powder needs to be kept away from gutters, streets, storm drains, rainfall and runoff.
Prior to the breaking up of concrete, make sure to take measures necessary to protect any nearby storm drain
inlets1. When mixing concrete, only mix the required
amount for that job. Leftovers should be returned to the transit mixer and small amounts of hardened excess material should be thrown in the trash. When making saw cuts, use as little water as possible and be sure to
vacuum up excess. Use sandbags, straw bales, or
gravel dams to contain the slurry and then remove it from site once the liquid from it drains or evaporates.
Concrete trucks should be washed off site or in designated areas on site to prevent the discharge of wash water into the storm drains. The equipment should be cleaned
over absorbent pads, drip pans, plastic sheeting or other materials to capture all spillage. At the end of the day, job sites must be clean. Never wash down work areas, use a
sweeper or dry cleanup methods.
Illicit Discharge Prevention & Reporting
An illicit discharge is any activity or event that results in a release, flow, spill, escape or disposal of any material other than rainwater into the storm drain system. To report an illegal discharge or if you have an accidental discharge to the storm drain system, please notify the City via the Street Division at 388-5338. The Street Division will dispatch the appropriate city personnel and/or fire department depending on the type of material discharged.
Remember: nothing but rainwater may be discharged to a storm drain. It is illegal, as well as harmful, to allow wastes, wash water, cleaning agents or material of any kind into the storm drain system.
Graffiti Abatement
As with most activities, schedule graffiti removal for
dry weather2. Prior to removing (especially if sandblasting), nearby storm drain inlets must be protected properly1. Run-off from the sandblasting or high pressure washing may be directed into a nearby landscape or dirt area.
When using a pressure washer containing a cleaning
compound, the resulting wash water must be captured by blocking the nearby storm drains and vacuuming or pumping it to the sanitary sewer. The water used cannot enter storm water drain system. Nontoxic chemical or waterless methods are ideal for graffiti removal.
Paint used for covering up the graffiti should be secured when transporting so spills do not occur.
If paint needs to be
mixed, do so in an
area away from drain
inlets. Graffiti removal
products should be
pre-approved before
they are used.

Building Maintenance
Preventing storm drain discharges from regular building maintenance activities is also very important. When cleaning, use nontoxic chemicals whenever possible as well as cleaning agents that could be recycled. To clean sidewalks, parking lots, etc., use dry cleaning methods to minimize cleaning with water, such as sweeping and collecting debris and trash and correctly disposing them.
Sidewalk rinsing could only be done with the use of high pressure and low volume of water with no additives using an average of
0.006 gallons per square foot of surface area to be rinsed. Any waste from the activity must then be collected and properly and legally disposed of. Do not hose sidewalks or streets with a pressure nozzle on a garden hose.
Provide trash cans in areas where there are a lot of pedestrians and clean them out regularly so they are sure to not leak or overflow. Posting “No Littering” signs is an effective measure to prevent littering too.
Water fountain maintenance also has regulations that are mandatory to follow. Do not use copper-based algaecides, algae can be controlled by chlorine or other alternatives, like sodium bromide.
When draining a fountain, haul away water or drain to landscape area once chlorine has dissipated. Wash water shall be vacuumed or pumped and disposed of properly, not discharged to storm drain.
Remember: Never clean a filter in the street.

top width of approximately 8 feet, side slopes of 2:1, depth of 1.5 feet, and longitudinal slope of approximately 0.4%.
Tributary areas to the roadside ditches are the respective half roadways along Pleasant Valley Road.
As the adjacent land to the north of Pleasant Valley Road slopes generally southwesterly, the north side ditch receives runoff from the north side row crops. The land adjacent to the south side ditch generally slopes away from the ditch (southwest) and is not a tributary area, thus the only area tributary to the south side ditch is the south roadway half of Pleasant Valley Road.
3.2.2 PROPOSED CHANNEL CONDITIONS
In the proposed condition, the original crowned road will be regraded to slope towards the northern ditch. The southern ditch will be removed to accommodate the widening for the bicycle lanes and buffers. To meet the existing conditions, the northern channel will be redeveloped to meet the combined capacities of the existing northern and southern ditches.
The northern ditch configuration was designed to maximize flow capacity to the existing conditions while minimizing encroachment; this modified ditch section has an earthen bottom width of 3 feet, flow depth of 3 feet, zero freeboard, longitudinal slope between 0.2% and 1.4%concrete side slopes of 1:1, and has a peak flow of 101 cfs. This configuration has a top width of 9 feet, minimizing and eliminating encroachment onto private property. Furthermore, this modified ditch section has the equivalent flow capacity as in the total current existing conditions (100 cfs).

3.2.3 CATCH BASIN SIZING
The calculated peak flows from the proposed conditions analyses discussed earlier were used to size the catch basins with Bentley’s FlowMaster software. The 10-year peak flows were calculated using the Rational Methodology. See Appendix C for the curb inlet sizing.
3.2.4 WATER QUALITY
Nine (9) modular wetland systems are proposed to treat water to the maximum extent feasible within the project limits per green street design requirements. All proposed inlets are connected to the Modular Wetlands which have a standard settlement chamber built in for trash and sediment control. The modular wetlands pick up runoff from the roadway and discharge into the proposed concrete roadside channel.

1.0 PROPOSED PROJECT
The project consists of new bike lanes along an 8,700-foot-long section of Pleasant Valley Road (PVR) between Las Posas Road and East Fifth Street. The eastern 1,500 feet of the alignment from Southfield Road to East Fifth Street is improved on the north side of PVR with a parking lane and curb and gutter. West of Southfield Road to Las Posas Road, a distance of about 7,200 feet, PVR is a two-lane road without shoulders. There is an existing drainage ditch along the northern shoulder of the road that is about four- to five-feet deep and about 10- to 13- feet wide. The drainage has numerous concrete culvert-type crossings for residential and agricultural access to the north. Additionally, power/utility poles are located in the northern bank of the drainage and large power poles are located along the southern side of PVR.
2.0 PURPOSE AND WORK SCOPE
The purpose of the geotechnical study is to evaluate the subsurface materials and provide geotechnical recommendations for the bike path improvements along PVR between Las Posas Road and Southfield Road.
The scope of services provided for the project consists of data review, utility coordination, field exploration and infiltration testing, laboratory testing, geotechnical evaluation, and preparation of this report. Task 5 (Aerially Deposited Lead [ADL] Testing) of our proposed scope of work was not performed by OGI; the ADL testing was performed separately by an environmental subconsultant to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
2.1 DATA REVIEW AND PROJECT COORDINATION
We reviewed readily available published geologic and geotechnical data from online sources and data provided to us to aid in our understanding and evaluation of the site conditions.
Prior to field exploration, we performed a site reconnaissance to locate and mark the exploration locations for coordination with Underground Service Alert and City staff and we applied for an encroachment permit from the City for the exploration work within PVR. Based on review of the project plans provided to us, the drainage ditch is within the City’s right-of-way, therefore, permitting from Ventura County was not required for the infiltration testing within the northern drainage.
2.2 FIELD EXPLORATION
2.2.1 Drill Holes
Six drill holes were advanced at about 1,000- to 1,400-foot intervals along PVR between Las Posas Road and Southfield Avenue in the westbound lane near the locations shown on Plate
2. The drill hole locations were originally planned to be alternated between the east and westbound lanes, however, utility conflicts and overhead powerlines on the eastbound side of PVR limited exploration to the westbound lane. The drill holes were advanced to depths of about 10 feet by S/G Drilling of Lompoc, California using a CME-85 equipped with 8-inch-diameter hollowstem augers. Southern California Gas Company required the upper five feet of each drill hole be advanced using a hand auger due to the proximity of the drill holes to the gas line located along the northern edge of the westbound pavement. The drilling was conducted under laneclosure provided by Total Barricade Service of Oxnard in general accordance with traffic control plans approved by the City.

Relatively undisturbed and bulk samples were collected from each drill hole for laboratory testing. Our field geologist logged the recovered samples in general accordance with ASTM D2488 for visual soil classification. The field soil descriptions were modified based on the results of the laboratory testing performed for this study. The drill hole logs are provided in Appendix A.
Following completion at each location, each drill hole was backfilled with the cuttings mixed with Portland cement to create soil cement, tamped during backfill, and the pavement patched with quickset cement dyed black.
2.2.2 Infiltration Testing
Infiltration testing was performed at two locations (Plate 2) within hand auger holes advanced to depths of about two feet within the northern drainage ditch to evaluate the infiltration rate within the ditch (logs provided in Appendix A). The testing was performed in general accordance with the procedures outlined in the County of Ventura Low Impact Development Standards Manual (2018) and the Guidelines for Stormwater Infiltration Testing (County of Los Angeles, 2017). The hand auger logs are provided in Appendix A and the results of the infiltration testing are provided in Appendix C.
2.3 LABORATORY TESTING
The geotechnical laboratory testing program for the project consisted of moisture/density relationships, grainsize, plasticity, maximum density, limited corrosion testing, and R-value. The results are presented on the drill hole logs (Appendix A) and in Appendix B.

3.0 FINDINGS
3.1 SITE CONDITIONS
The project area is located in the Oxnard Plain, a large, relatively flat-lying coastal plain formed primarily by deposition of sediments from the Santa Clara River and Calleguas Creek.
Review of topographic mapping by the US Geological Survey indicates the topography in the project area slopes very gently to the southwest and the general PVR road alignment pre-dates the 1905 topographic survey. The two-lane PVR alignment trends east-west in the project area and has an about four- to five-foot deep and about 10- to 13-foot wide existing drainage ditch along the northern shoulder of the road with numerous concrete culvert-type crossings for

residential and agricultural access to the north. The drainage ditch has an earthen bottom and unprotected earthen banks. Based on our observations, the banks have been eroded by runoff from the adjacent PVR and agricultural areas and by flow within the drainage. The lower one- to two feet of the drainage banks are commonly eroded to near vertical along the length of the drainage alignment and there are common very steep to near vertically eroded sections of the banks along the alignment that extend from the drainage bottom to near the road surface; the steep erosional features are commonly associated with the abutment areas of the culvert-type crossings. Additionally, common rodent burrows were observed in the earthen bank areas.
A smaller drainage ditch is located along the southern side of PVR in the western portion of study area that is about 18 inches to two feet deep with a soil bottom and shallow slopes.
Additionally, a Southern California gas line is located along the northern shoulder of PVR and power/utility poles are located in the northern bank of the northern drainage and large power poles are located along the southern side of PVR.
3.2 SUMMARY OF PAVEMENT OBSERVATIONS
Between Las Posas Road (Sta. 0+00) and about Sta 5+00, the pavement is in poor condition with common transverse and longitudinal cracks, block cracking, and alligator cracking.
East of about Sta. 5+00 to Sta. 72+00 (Southfield Road), there are common wheel path depressions in both the east- and westbound lanes, including areas where wheel path repairs appear to have been made previously that have reappeared. Wheel path depressions are indicative of settlement of the foundation soils or improper construction. Additionally, longitudinal cracking is located in the eastbound lane about one-foot south of the pavement from about Sta. 35+00 to about Sta. 58+00. The longitudinal cracking may be related to a construction joint.
Overall, the pavement surface is worn and rough to very rough.
3.3 EARTH MATERIALS AND LABORATORY TEST RESULTS
3.3.1 General
Published geologic mapping by Dibblee (1990) indicates the PVR alignment is underlain by alluvial deposits of sand, silt, and clay. The USDA indicates the majority of the PVR alignment is mapped as hydrologic Soil Group C with very low to low infiltration rates. USDA Soil Group C corresponds to Ventura County Soil Types 2 and 3 that are not considered suitable for infiltration without site specific infiltration testing demonstrating acceptable infiltration levels.
3.3.2 Earth Materials Encountered Along PVR
Earth materials encountered by our field exploration along PVR consisted of artificial fill materials associated with roadway construction and alluvial sediments to the depths explored (10 feet). Descriptions of soil conditions presented herein are based on visual classification of samples obtained from our field exploration combined with the results of laboratory testing.
As noted previously, Southern California Gas Company required the upper five feet of each drill hole be advanced using a hand auger due to the proximity of the drill holes to the gas line located along the northern edge of the westbound pavement. Due to the requirement to advance the drill holes by hand in the upper five feet, driven samples and blowcounts are not available in those intervals.
Kimley-Horn and Asociates, Inc.

Artificial Fill. The artificial fill materials encountered at the exploration locations consisted of asphalt concrete, sandy gravel base materials, and silty sand with gravel, and sand with gravel interpreted as subbase materials. The pavement profiles were underlain by clay, sandy clay, and clayey sand interpreted to have been disturbed as part of the road construction process. The moisture contents ranged from 12 to 19 percent and the fines contents ranged from 47 to 58 percent for the tested materials.
The pavement profile encountered at each of the exploration locations is summarized in the following table.

Alluvium. Materials interpreted as alluvial sediments were encountered beneath the artificial fill materials. The sampled alluvial material consisted primarily of clayey (cohesive) sediments with lesser amounts of fine sand (granular). As indicated on the logs in Appendix A, the sampled materials consisted clay, clay with sand, sandy clay, sandy clayey silt, clayey sand, and silty sand.
Blowcounts within the cohesive (clayey) materials ranged from two to 11 blows per foot (bpf) indicating the sampled cohesive sediments are soft to stiff. Blowcounts within the granular (sandy) materials ranged from three to five bpf, indicating the sampled granular sediments are very loose to loose.
The results of a compaction test performed on a sample of clayey alluvial sediments indicate a maximum density of 107 pounds per cubic foot at an optimum moisture content of 18
Kimley-Horn and Asociates, Inc.
Project No. 035.006
5 OAKRIDGE GEOSCIENCE, INC.
percent. The results of moisture and density determinations indicate dry densities ranging from 90 to 109 pcf at moisture contents ranging from 5 to 38 percent.
The results of plasticity testing indicate liquid limits ranging from 33 to 36 and plasticity indices ranging from 16 to 18 suggesting the tested materials are low plasticity clay. The results of grainsize tests on samples of cohesive materials indicate fines contents ranging from 51 to 81 percent; grainsize tests performed on samples of granular materials indicate fines contents ranging from 18 to 47 percent.
Pocket penetration tests shown on the drill hole logs in Appendix A indicate the cohesive soils have a compressive strength in the range of 1,000 to 2,000 psf. That range of soil is generally consistent with a medium stiff to stiff fine-grained clay soil (CBC Type D – stiff soil).
The test results on a bulk sample of fine-grained clay soil collected from drill hole DH-5 indicates an R-value of 15.
3.3.3 Earth Materials Encountered at Infiltration Locations Earth materials encountered in the infiltration drill holes (INF-1 and INF-2) advanced in the drainage ditch on the northern side of PVR consisted of moist, soft sandy clay to the depth explored (two feet) with loose fine sand at the ground surface. The results of plasticity testing performed on samples collected from the bottom of the drill holes indicate liquid limits ranging from 29 to 34 and plasticity indices ranging from 10 to 15; the results of grainsize tests indicate fines contents ranging from 55 to 70 percent, and the results of moisture content determinations indicate moisture contents ranging from 25 to 30 percent. The test results indicate the tested samples are sandy clay and are above optimum moisture content. According to the Ventura County Watershed Protection District’s (VCWPD) rainfall data for nearby monitoring stations, the project site had received an estimated 1/2- to 2/3-inch of rain in the preceding seven to 10 days.
3.3.4 Soil Probing in Base of Drainage Ditch
The near vertical banks and narrow width of the drainage ditch along the northern side of PVR precluded drilling equipment from entering the ditch. To evaluate the consistency of the soil in the base of the drainage ditch, we probed the soils in the base of the ditch using a 1/2-inch diameter steel T-probe at about 200-foot intervals. As summarized in Table 2, our staff engineer was able to easily push the steel T-probe one and half to two feet into the soil in the base of the drainage ditch and used moderate effort to push the T-probe to a depth of three to four feet. In some areas a slightly higher resistance to probing was encountered at a depth of about three to four feet. For reference, the T-probe can be advanced about six to eight inches into fine-grained fill compacted to 90 percent relative compaction. As described in Section 3.2.3 above, the soil in hand-auger drill holes in the base of the ditch had moisture contents of 25 to 30 percent, indicating the fine-grained clay soil is saturated (about 10 to 12 percent above the optimum moisture content).
3.4 GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
Groundwater was not encountered in any of the drill holes advanced along PVR, however we note the hand auger drill holes advanced within the drainage ditch for the infiltration testing encountered very moist soils. As noted in Section 3.3.3, the project site had received an estimated 1/2- to 2/3-inch of rain in the preceding seven to 10 days according to the VCWPD’s

website. Review of California Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG, 2002) indicates the historical high groundwater in the project site is less than 10 feet.
4.0 INFILTRATION EVALUATION
4.1 BACKGROUND
Infiltration testing was performed at two locations (Plate 2) within hand auger holes advanced to depths of about two feet with the northern drainage ditch to evaluate the infiltration rate within the ditch (logs provided in Appendix A). The testing was performed in general accordance with the procedures outlined in the County of Ventura Low Impact Development Standards Manual (2018) and the Guidelines for Stormwater Infiltration Testing (County of Los Angeles, 2017). The hand auger logs are provided in Appendix A and the results of the infiltration testing are provided in Appendix C. Following completion of the testing, the temporary piezometers were removed, and the drill holes were backfilled as described above.
4.2 METHODOLOGY
The two, two-foot-deep drill holes were backfilled with about two inches of gravel, 2-inchID perforated PVC casing was installed on top of the gravel, and the bottom of the annulus between the drill hole and the outside of the PVC casing was backfilled with about 18-inches of gravel. The casings were filled to near the ground surface with water and allowed to pre-saturate overnight prior to conducting the infiltration testing on March 26, 2020. The testing was performed in general conformance with the boring percolation test procedures outlined in the Guidelines for Stormwater Infiltration Testing (County of Los Angeles, 2017).
The infiltration testing was performed by refilling the water within the PVC casings in piezometers INF-1 (near Sta. 61+50) and INF-2 (near Sta. 23+25) to a depth of 12 inches and recording the drop in water over a 30-minute period. The testing cycle was repeated for eight consecutive readings per the Los Angeles County Guidelines.
Following completion of the testing, the PVC casings were removed, and the holes backfilled with the excavated materials.

4.3 INFILTRATION EVALUATION
The infiltration evaluations were performed in general conformance with the boring percolation correction procedures outlined in the Los Angeles County Guidelines which indicate the measured infiltration rates must be reduced with correction factors to determine design values that represent long-term performance of an infiltration area. The guidelines provide the following correction factors:
• The borehole reduction factor (Rf) is applied to account for the direction of flow during the test and calculations. A reduction factor is estimated for infiltration tests conducted in borings where the percolation is reduced to account for the discharge of water from both the sides and bottom of the boring (i.e., non-vertical flow) using the following formula to determine the infiltration rate. For this project, the reduction factor (Rf) is estimated to be about 12.7 and 12.2 for the INF-1 and INF-2 sites, respectively.
Figure 1. County of Los Angeles (2017) Correction Factors and Formulas
Kimley-Horn and Asociates, Inc.
Project No. 035.006
8 OAKRIDGE GEOSCIENCE, INC.
• The correction factor (CFv) is selected based on site variability, number of tests performed, and the thoroughness of subsurface investigation. For this project, a site variability (CFv) of 1 was selected for the two infiltration areas because the existing site data and the field and laboratory tests indicate a relatively uniform soil type within the clayey soils evaluated in the study area.
• The correction factor (CFs) for siltation, plugging, and maintenance is based on the specified levels of pre-treatment and maintenance for the proposed BMPs. The Los Angeles County guidelines suggest that for stormwater infiltration BMPs with pretreatment components and regular maintenance programs, a correction factor of 1 may be appropriate; BMPs that are proposed to infiltrate untreated flow with unspecified maintenance programs, a high level of siltation and plugging is to be expected and a correction factor of 3 is likely more appropriate. For this project, a correction factor for siltation (CFs) of 3 was selected for both sites. • The measured infiltration rates used in our evaluation are based on uncorrected values from the infiltration testing performed in INF-1 and INF-2. As indicated in Appendix C, the results of the infiltration tests indicate uncorrected field infiltration rates of about
1.4- to 3.3-inches/hour.
4.4 ESTIMATED CORRECTED INFILTRATION RATES
Based on the County of Los Angeles Guidelines and correction factors and formulas noted above, the estimated corrected infiltration rate is 0.0- and 0.1-inch/hour for the INF-1 and INF-2 sites, respectively, which is below the required minimum design infiltration rate of 0.3-inch/hour per the Los Angeles County guidelines.
We note the Ventura County guidelines do not require correction factors in developing the estimated infiltration rate as the County of Los Angeles does. Ventura County’s Guidelines require a minimum design infiltration rate of 0.5-inch/hour. On that basis, the uncorrected field infiltration rates of about 1.4- (INF-1 site) to 3.3-inches/hour (INF-2 site) estimated from the infiltration tests performed for this study in the sandy clay materials within the drainage ditch north of PVR are above the minimum requirement per the County’s Guidelines.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 SUMMARY OF SITE CONDITIONS
• Pavement section consists of 7 to 10 inches of AC over about 8 to 11 inches of base and subbase (sandy soil) materials.
• The AC pavement is worn, with a rough to very rough surface and common wheel path depressions in both the eastbound and westbound lanes. • Soil materials classified as artificial fill and alluvium consisting primarily of soft to stiff sandy clay with lesser amounts of very loose to medium dense, silt and silty to clayey sand.
• Moisture contents of the soil range from five to 38 percent with an optimum moisture content of about 18 percent for fine-grained clay soils. The near surface clay soils in the drainage ditch are saturated with moisture contents of 10 percent or more above the optimum moisture content,
• In-place soil densities below a depth of five feet range from 90 to 109 pcf. The laboratory maximum density for the fine-grained soil is 107 pcf, indicating that the existing alluvial soils have relative compaction of less than 90 percent. • Standard penetration test (SPT) blowcounts range from two to 11 blows/foot in the fine-grained clay soil indicating a soft to stiff consistency per CBC criteria. Pocket penetration tests indicate a shear strength of the fine-grained clay soil below a depth of five feet ranges from about 1,000 to 2,000 psf (medium stiff to stiff soil). • A steel T-probe could be easily advanced three to four feet into the soft, wet soil at the base of the drainage ditch along the northern side of PVR.
5.2 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed improvements for the PVR bike lane project include widening the road along the northern and southern shoulder of PVR by steepening and protecting the slope in the existing unlined, earthen drainage ditch on the northern side of PVR. The proposed improvements will consist of new 1 horizontal to 1 vertical (1h:1v) fill slopes that will be concrete-lined to protect the soil from future erosion. Site grading to improve the soft, wet subgrade soil will be required as described below prior to placing fill for the bike lane widening project. The ditch along the southern side of PVR is relatively shallow and should be able to be filled after scarifying, moisture conditioning and compacting the existing materials.

5.3 SITE GRADING
5.3.1 General Site Clearing and Grubbing
Soil containing debris, organics, trees and root systems, and other unsuitable materials should be excavated and removed from improvement areas prior to commencing grading operations. Areas should be cleared of old foundations, slabs, pavement, abandoned utilities, and soils disturbed during the demolition process. Depressions or disturbed areas left from the removal of such material should be replaced with compacted fill.
We note there is an existing underground Southern California gas line along the length of the northern side of the PVR alignment that will need to be protected in-place during construction.
5.3.2 Subgrade Preparation
Benching. The outer eight- to 12-inches of soil materials on the existing embankment slopes are over-steepened and/or appear to be loosened by previous erosional process and rodent activity. We recommended the project grading bench into the existing slope about 18 inches horizontally to remove the loose material on the slope face under the footprint of the new fill and provide a good bond between the existing embankment and new fill. Vertical bench height should be limited to about 18 inches.
Ditch Along Northern Side of PVR. Following site clearing, we recommend the footprint of the area to receive fill plus three feet further north of the improvements be stabilized prior to placing fill. As described above, the soil in the base of the ditch consists of soft, saturated, finegrained clay soil that was 10 percent or more above the optimum moisture content at the time of our field exploration. Due to local agricultural watering, the near surface soils likely can maintain a high moisture content and thus would not be anticipated to “dry out”. Several methods could be utilized to stabilize the subgrade including “float rock”, geogrid and gravel, and cement treated soil. Based on our previous experience in the area, the soft subgrade can be stabilized by removing about 18 inches to two feet of saturated wet clay soil and placing/working in 4- to 6-inch minus float rock into the subgrade mitigation area. The contractor will need to “work” the float rock (coarse gravel and cobbles) into the soft, clay soil until a stabilized subgrade is established.
We suggest the contractor prepare a test strip about 100 feet long to evaluate the depth of float rock needed to stabilize the subgrade. If an alternative method such as geogrids is selected by the contractor, a test strip to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method should be performed to demonstrate the suitability of the selected method. Once a preferred method is selected it can be implemented along the entire length of the project.
Ditch Along Southern Side of PVR. The ditch along the southern side of PVR is about 18 inches to two feet deep and typically does not have water in the ditch based on our observations. On that basis, the southern ditch most likely can be stabilized by ripping to a minimum of 12 inches, moisture conditioning the soil and compacting to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. Once the subgrade has been prepared, fill can be added to grade as described below.
Onsite Soil Material from Overexcavation. Depending upon the precipitation events and/or agricultural water runoff, the onsite soil materials to be excavated from the northern ditch may consist of saturated fine-grained clay soil. Unless there is a large area available to process

and dry out the soil, it likely will need to be hauled off and new fill materials meeting the specification for general fill imported.
5.3.3 Fill Material Selection
Recommended fill material selection requirements for compacted fill, aggregate base, and use of onsite materials are presented below. Areas or zones where the various fill materials may be used are described below.
Imported Fill. Fill materials will be required to construct the new fill slope/bike lane widening. The “imported fill” materials should comply with recommendations for imported fill or as appropriate for its intended use. Imported fill sourced from other areas should be reviewed and tested by the geotechnical engineer prior to being transported to the site. Imported fill should consist of granular soil materials (SM, SC) free of organics, oversize rock (greater than six inches in diameter), trash, debris, and other deleterious or unsuitable materials, and should have an Rvalue of at least 15 and an expansion index of less than 40. The fill materials should have a fines content (percent passing No. 200 sieve) of 15 to 45 percent, and less than 10 percent larger than two inches in diameter. Cobbles larger than six inches should be removed from the fill.
Aggregate and Miscellaneous Base. Base materials should consist of material conforming to Caltrans Standard Specifications for Class 2 Aggregate Base, Section 26-1.02 (Caltrans, latest edition) or Section 200-2.5 of the Greenbook (2018) for Processed Miscellaneous Base.
5.3.4 Dewatering
On the basis of our subsurface exploration, we do not anticipate groundwater will be encountered during site grading activities. The contractor will need to control surface water flow in the ditch to keep the work area from becoming saturated. Although we do not anticipate the need for dewatering, groundwater seepage may be encountered in the excavations following rain or agricultural watering.
5.3.5 Fill Placement and Compaction
Fill should be placed, moisture conditioned, and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. The upper one-foot of fill beneath the pavement structural section should be compacted to 95 percent relative compaction. In general, we recommend the moisture content of the fill should be 0 to 2 percent above the optimum. Each layer should be spread evenly and should be thoroughly blade-mixed during the spreading to provide relative uniformity of material within each layer. Soft or yielding materials should be removed and be replaced with properly compacted fill material prior to placing the next layer.
Rock, cobbles, and other oversized material greater than six inches in dimension in any direction should be removed from the fill material being placed. The contractor should be prepared to screen all native materials prior to placement as compacted fill. Rocks should not be nested and voids should be filled with compacted material. Organics, foreign matter, and other deleterious materials also should be removed from any material used in constructed fills.
Fill and backfill materials should be placed in layers that can be compacted with the equipment being used, but not exceed eight-inches in loose thickness per Greenbook
Kimley-Horn and Asociates, Inc.
Project No. 035.006
12 OAKRIDGE GEOSCIENCE, INC.
requirements. Fill should be spread in lifts no thicker than approximately eight inches prior to being compacted. Fill and backfill materials may need to be placed in thinner lifts to achieve the recommended compaction depending on the equipment being used.
The fill placed in the northern drainage ditch should be “overbuilt” and cut back to a compacted core in preparation for surface erosion protection. The erosion protection is anticipated to consist of shotcrete with steel reinforcement. The erosion protection should extend about one-foot below the base of the ditch at the toe of the slope.
Aggregate base should be compacted in lifts not exceeding six inches in thickness to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density and as-compacted moisture contents should be within 2 percent of the optimum moisture content.
5.4 FOUNDATION DESIGN
5.4.1 Shallow Foundation Design
The proposed foundations can be supported on a shallow foundation system designed in accordance with current CBC and Greenbook requirements. The proposed shotcrete facing can utilize the design parameters for the retaining walls presented below.
5.4.2 Allowable Bearing Pressure
If required, shallow footings bearing in compacted fill (with a minimum of two feet of compacted fill below the base of the footing) can be designed using a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 pounds per square foot (psf). The allowable value incorporates a factor of safety of at least 3. The bearing pressure of onsite, near-surface native soil is 750 psf. The toepressure below retaining walls or eccentrically loaded footings can exceed the recommended bearing pressure, provided the resultant pressure is within the middle-third of the footing. In accordance with 2016 CBC Section 1806.1, the bearing values indicated above are for static loads (including the total of dead and frequently applied live loads) and may be increased for short duration loading (including the effects of wind or seismic forces) as allowed in 2016 CBC Section 1605.3.2. The allowable bearing capacity can be increased by 7 percent for each foot of embedment (i.e. depth) or width to a maximum value of twice the allowable bearing pressure.
5.4.3 Minimum Embedment Depth and Width
In general, footings embedded in fill materials should extend to at least two feet below the lowest adjacent grade and have a minimum width of 18 inches. Isolated pad footings should be at least three feet in least dimension.
5.4.4 Lateral Bearing Pressures
In accordance with 2019 CBC Section 1806.3.1, resistance to lateral loading may be provided by both friction acting at the base of foundations and by lateral bearing pressure. The presumptive values for lateral bearing pressure given within 2019 CBC, Table 1806.2 as well as the allowable increase for depth noted in 2019 CBC Section 1806.3.3 shall be superseded by the site-specific values in the following table. The lateral bearing pressure in the upper one foot of the site should be neglected unless the ground surface is covered with asphalt or concrete, and the lateral bearing pressure may be increased by 300 psf for each additional foot of embedment to a maximum value of 2,500 psf for level ground adjacent to the structure.

These materials must be undisturbed and verified in the field at the time of construction by the Project Engineering Geologist/Geotechnical Engineer in accordance with 2019 CBC Section 1705.6 and Table 1705.6.
2 These allowable lateral bearing pressures supersede the presumptive values given within 2019 CBC Table 1806.2.
2 In accordance with 2019 CBC Section 1806.1, the allowable passive earth pressure indicated above is for static loads (including the total of dead and frequently applied live loads), and may be increased by one-third for short duration loading (including the effects of wind or seismic forces) as allowed in 2019 CBC Section 1805.3.2. 3 These maximum lateral bearing pressures supersede the presumptive maximum value given within 2019 CBC Section 1806.3.3
4 These allowable coefficients of friction supersede the presumptive values given within 2019 CBC Table 1806.2. In accordance with 2019 CBC Section 1806.3.2, lateral sliding resistance shall not exceed one-half of the dead load.
5 The passive resistance should be reduced to 150 pcf if the ground surface in front of the wall descends at a 2h:1v slope.
5.4.5 Lateral Loads for Buried Structures
Retaining structures free to rotate or translate laterally (e.g., cantilevered retaining walls) through a horizontal distance to wall height ratio of greater than about 0.004 can be assumed as unrestrained or yielding retaining structures. Such walls can generally move enough to develop active conditions. Retaining structures unable to rotate or deflect laterally (e.g., restrained belowgrade or basement walls) are referred to as restrained or rigid walls. We have assumed belowgrade walls (if any) will be rigid and should be designed for at-rest conditions.
The presumptive values for lateral soil load given within 2019 CBC, Table 1610.1 shall be superseded by the following site-specific values. These load values are expressed as equivalent fluid densities (consistent with CBC) and are intended for structural design of buried walls and retaining walls of up to a maximum of 20 feet in retained height.

When utilized, this loading may be applied as an inverted-oriented triangular-load.
5.4.6 Static Settlements
Static settlements generally will occur in response to foundation loads on the foundation support material. The estimated static settlement due to the new structures is 1-inch with differential settlements of about ½-inch over a distance of 30 feet. The structure should be designed to accommodate static differential settlements of at least ½-inch over a distance of 30 feet (i.e., a distortion ratio of approximately 1/720) for similarly sized and loaded footings.
5.5 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
5.5.1 Excavation Conditions
Subsurface materials encountered in explorations for this study consisted primarily of soft, wet fill and alluvial soil deposits within the anticipated excavation zone. There is a potential for the excavation to encounter oversized material (greater than six-inches in diameter) that will need to be processed on-site and removed from the fill. In addition, the soils will need to be moisture conditioned, primarily drying back of wet clay soil, to achieve moisture content near the optimum moisture content.
5.5.2 Temporary Slopes and Excavations
The contractor should be responsible for the design of temporary slopes. The soil materials along the widening alignment are anticipated to consist primarily of cohesive materials within the anticipated depths of excavation. Temporary slopes should be braced or sloped according to the requirements of OSHA.
As input to design, excavations in cohesive soil without shoring can be classified as Type B and should be sloped no steeper than 1h:1v as deemed appropriate based upon classification Type determined in the field per OSHA guidelines. We recommend all temporary excavations be monitored for signs of instability and appropriate actions (such as flattening the slope, providing shoring, and controlling groundwater, if encountered) should be undertaken if evidence of

potential instability is observed. The following table summarizes parameters for consideration in the design of temporary slopes or shoring systems.

5.5.3 Permanent Slopes
Permanent cut- and fill slopes should be inclined at 2h:1v or flatter unless they are protected with gunite or other erosion resistance materials as described above.
5.6 ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVEMENT DESIGN
The laboratory test results suggest an R-value of 14 for a sample of near-surface sandy clay soil materials collected from drill hole DH-5. The following table summarizes the pavement design criteria and proposed pavement section based on Caltrans (2020) design standards, an assumed R-value of 14, and the TI’s provided to us.

Many factors can affect the corrosion potential of soil including soil moisture content, resistivity, permeability, and pH, as well as chloride and sulfate concentration. In general, soil resistivity, which is a measure of how easily electrical current flows through soils, is the most influential factor. As a general rule, Caltrans indicates a resistivity value of 1,000 ohm-cm or lower is an indicator of high soluble salt content and a general indicator of corrosion potential. Caltrans considers soils to be corrosive or to represent a corrosive environment if one of the following criteria is met:
• Resistivity value of less than 1,000 ohm-cm;
• Chloride content of 500 ppm or greater;
• Sulfate concentration of 2,000 ppm or greater; or
• pH is 5.5 or less.
As summarized in the table above, the measured resistivity value is below 1,000 ohm-cm and indicates the tested soil is considered corrosive to concrete or steel based on the test data and Caltrans limits. The test results should be evaluated by a corrosion specialist to confirm the opinions regarding the potential corrosion impacts from the onsite soils to the construction materials proposed for the project.
6.0 LIMITATIONS
6.1 REPORT USE
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the Kimley-Horn and its agents for the design and construction of the proposed City of Camarillo’s ST-5006 Pleasant Valley Road Bike Lanes CML-5393(036) project in Camarillo, California. The findings, conclusions, and recommendations presented herein were prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices of the project region. No other warranty, express or implied, is made.
Although information contained in this report may be of some use for other purposes, it may not contain sufficient information for other parties or uses. If any changes are made to the project as described in this report, the conclusions and recommendations in this report shall not be considered valid unless the changes are reviewed and the conclusions and recommendations of this report are modified or validated in writing by OGI.
6.2 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
This report does not provide information regarding the presence of hazardous/toxic materials in the soil, surface water, groundwater, or atmosphere.
6.3 LOCAL PRACTICE
In performing our professional services, we have used generally accepted geologic and geotechnical engineering principles and have applied the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar circumstances by reputable geotechnical engineers currently practicing in this or similar localities. No other warranty, express or implied, is made as to the professional advice included in this report.

6.4 PLAN REVIEW
We recommend that OGI be provided the opportunity to review and comment on the geotechnical aspects of any project plans and specifications prepared for this project before they are finalized. The purpose of that review will be to evaluate if the recommendations in this report have been properly interpreted and implemented in the design and specifications.
6.5 CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
Users of this report should recognize that the construction process is an integral design component with respect to the geotechnical aspects of a project, and that geotechnical engineering is inexact due to the variability of natural and man-induced processes, which can produce unanticipated or changed conditions. Proper geotechnical observation and testing during construction is imperative in allowing the geotechnical engineer the opportunity to verify assumptions made during the design process. Therefore, we recommend that OGI be retained during project construction to observe compliance with project plans and specifications and to recommend design changes, if needed, in the event that subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated.
