Mitigation Measure CR-5: Discovery of Human Remains. In the event that human remains (or remains that may be human) are discovered at the project site during grading or earthmoving. the construction contractors, project archaeologist, and/or designated Native American Monitor shall immediately stop all activities within 100 feet of the find.

The project applicant shall then inform the Riverside County Coroner and the City of Corona Planning Division immediately, and the coroner shall be permitted to examine the remains as required by California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5(b). Section 7050.5 requires that excavation be stopped in the vicinity of discovered human remains until the coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin If human remains are determined to be Native American,, the applicant shall comply with the state law relating to the disposition of Native American burials that fall within the jurisdiction of the NARC (PRC Section 5097). The coroner shall contact the NAHC within 24 hours and the NAHC will make the determination of most likely descendant(s). The MLD shall complete his or her inspection and make recommendations or preferences for treatment within 48 hours of being granted access to the site. Treatment and disposition of the remains shall be determined in consultation with the most likely descendant(s) to determine the most appropriate disposition of human remains and any associated grave artifacts. In the event that the applicant and the MLD are in disagreement regarding the disposition of the remains. State law will apply and the mediation process will occur with the NAHC. if requested (see PRC Section 5097.98(e) and 5097.94(k)).

The specific locations of Native American burials and reburials are confidential and may not be disclosed to the general public. The locations will be documented by the consulting archaeologist in conjunction with the various stakeholders and a report of findings will be filed with the Eastern Information Center (EIC). A Sacred Lands File form will be submitted to the NAHC by the project archaeologist and the Monitoring Tribe(s).

According to the California Health and Safety Code, six or more human burials at one location constitutes a cemetery (Section 8100), and disturbance of Native American cemeteries is a felony (Section 7052).

Mitigation Measure CR-6: Prior to issuance of any grading permit, the Applicant shall retain a qualified vertebrate paleontologist to develop a paleontological resource impact mitigation program (PRIMP) for excavations into the Upper Cretaceous Ladd Canyon Formation, the Upper Cretaceous Williams and Ladd Formations (undifferentiated), the Early Pleistocene Very Old Alluvial Fan Deposits; the Upper Cretaceous Ladd Formation/Baker Canyon Conglomerate member; and Paleocene Silverado Formation. A qualified vertebrate paleontologist is defined as a paleontologist meeting the criteria established by the Society for Vertebrate Paleontology. The qualified vertebrate paleontologist shall conduct a preconstruction field assessment to locate fossils at surface exposures. The qualified vertebrate paleontologist shall supervise a paleontological monitor who shall be present at such times as required by the paleontologist during construction excavations into the fossiliferous formations mentioned above. Monitoring shall consist of visually inspecting fresh exposures of rock for larger fossil remains and, where appropriate, collecting wet or dry screened sediment samples of promising horizons for smaller fossil remains. The frequency of monitoring shall be determined by the paleontologist and shall be based on the rate of excavation and grading activities, the materials being excavated, and the depth of excavation, and if found, the abundance and type of fossils encountered. If resources are located, monitoring hours shall be increased as needed.

Mitigation Measure CR-7: If a potential fossil is found, the qualified vertebrate paleontologist or paleontological monitor shall be allowed to temporarily divert or redirect grading and excavation activities in the area of the exposed fossil, as determined appropriate by the monitor, to assess the significance of the find and, if necessary, develop appropriate treatment measures. Treatment measures may include avoidance or preservation in place, if feasible. If preservation or avoidance of the resource is not feasible, then the resource shall be removed from its location. Removal activities may consist of the relatively rapid removal of small isolated fossils from an active cut, to hand-quarrying of larger fossils over several hours, to excavations of large fossils or large numbers of smaller fossils from a bone bed over several days. These activities may include the assistance of the grading and excavation contractor’s equipment to facilitate removal. Any fossils encountered and recovered shall be prepared to the point of identification and catalogued before they are donated to their final repository. Any fossils collected shall be donated to a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, San Bernardino County Museum, the John D.

GEOLOGY AND SOILS
Mitigation Measure GEO-1: Site Preparation and Removals. All grading shall be accomplished under the observation and testing of the Project Geotechnical Engineer and Engineering Geologist in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Project Geotechnical Report, contained in Appendix F of this Draft EIR), the current codes practiced by the City of Corona and the Earthwork Specifications contained in Appendix IV of the Project Geotechnical Report.

Loose, compressible residual soil, non-engineered onsite fill, colluvium, alluvium, landslide debris, older alluvium and weathered bedrock shall be removed from fill areas prior to placement of fill and shall be removed from shallow cut areas, where exposed at finish grades.

Guidelines to determine the depth of removals are presented below; however, the exact extent of the removals must be determined in the field during grading, when observation and evaluation of the greater detail afforded by those exposures can be performed by the Geotechnical engineer and/or Engineering Geologist.

The minimum backcut ratio shall be 1:1 (horizontal to vertical). The bottoms of all removal areas shall be observed, mapped and approved by the Engineering Geologist prior to fill placement. It is recommended that the bottoms of removals be surveyed and documented by the Project Civil Engineer.

Groundwater, if encountered during grading, shall be evaluated by the Geotechnical Engineer and/or Engineering Geologist. In general, groundwater is not anticipated to adversely affect grading although saturated soils and free water may be encountered along canyons and within alluvium removals. If groundwater is excessive, remedial measures such as horizontal drains or under drains may need to be installed. Further, settlement monuments and plates (see Plate VI of the Geotechnical Report) shall be installed during and after completion of grading to monitor settlement monuments and plates shall be used to determine when the majority of the primary settlement has been completed to allow for the release of affected lots for construction.
• Stripping: Vegetation, debris and other deleterious materials are unsuitable as structural fill material and shall be disposed of offsite prior to commencing removals and placement of compacted fills. The thick, natural vegetative growth onsite is significant and will require consideration for removal. An onsite mulching operation may be considered. The mulched materials could then be used in future landscape areas. • Soil and Weathered Bedrock (unmapped): Loose, compressible onsite soils and underlying weathered bedrock shall be removed to expose the underlying competent bedrock materials prior to placement of compacted fill and when exposed in shallow cut area. An average removal depth of 5 feet is anticipated for removal of topsoil and weathered bedrock. In general, onsite soils and weathered bedrock are suitable to be re-used as structural fill when properly moisture-conditioned.
• Undocumented Artificial Fill (locally mapped as AFu): Fills associated with "recreational" grading, construction of unpaved access roads, mining operations and existing trench backfill shall be removed prior to fill placement.

Generally, these artificial fills range from a depth of 3 to 20 feet. Local areas of undocumented fill associated with previous geotechnical investigations are not plotted on the map. Other fills, including roadway fills and trench backfill, are not mapped due to their localized extent and minor thickness. Removals shall extend below the undocumented fill until competent materials are encountered. • Alluvium/Colluvium (map symbol Qal): All alluvium deposits exposed at existing or cut grades shall be entirely removed prior to fill placement. These deposits range in thickness from approximately 5 feet to 35 feet. Ginter and Associates recommends that all alluvial and colluvial soils below proposed fill areas and in cut areas be removed to expose competent bedrock or terrace deposits. Anticipated average removal depths for alluvium/colluvium areas are expected to vary to an estimated maximum thickness of 35 feet.

Groundwater was not encountered during PSE's subsurface investigation within the alluvium onsite. However, access was limited and certain alluvial areas could not be investigated such as within Krooner Canyon. If "saturated" alluvium is encountered that possesses a degree of saturation of 85% of more and is consistent with depth to bedrock, consideration may be given to leaving the saturated alluvium in-place, provided that settlement time-delay consequences are acceptable to the owner. If saturated alluvium is encountered and is going to remain in-place, an additional liquefaction investigation may be required and dynamic settlement recommendations for those areas will likely change. • Older Alluvium (Qoa): All older alluvium shall be removed to expose the underlying competent bedrock.

Generally, these deposits range in depth from 10 to about 20 feet.

• Landslide Debris (Qls): All landslide debris that could adversely affect the proposed development shall be removed to expose the underlying competent bedrock. Generally, these deposits range in depth from 10 to about 29 feet, but may range up to around 35 feet in depth. • Removals Along Grading Limits: Removals of unsuitable soils shall be required prior to fill placement along the grading limit. A 1:1 projection, from toe of slope or grading limit, outward to competent materials shall be established, when possible. Where removals are not possible due to grading limits, property line or easement restrictions, removals shall be initiated at the grading boundary (property line easement, grading limit or outside the improvement) at a 1:1 ratio inward to competent materials. Where this reduced removal criterion is implemented, special maintenance zones may be necessary. Affected areas shall be established, minimally, as a 1:1 projection from suitable removal bottom to finish ground surface. This condition is mainly expected in the slope areas. Where the projection intersects the face of the slope, the potential for distortion of the slope in response to post-grading settlements exists and provisions for future maintenance of such slopes shall be provided.

Mitigation Measure GEO-2: Slope Stability and Remediation • Cut Slopes: The majority of cut slopes have been designed at a slope ratio of 2:1. The Engineering Geologist shall observe cut slopes and cut slope stabilization backcuts during grading. Modifications to the recommendations presented herein will likely be required based upon conditions exposed by grading. • Williams Formation (KW): Cut slopes within the Williams Formation may expose adverse bedding that shall require remediation. The cut slope superjacent to Lots 278 and 279 is anticipated to require replacement with a buttress fill. Probable buttresses are anticipated for the cut slope above Lots 261 through 267 and the cut slope below the WQMP Basin and Lots 247 through 255, as depicted on Figure 1 and Figure 2 (pocket) of the Geotechnical Report.
• Ladd Formation: Cut slopes within the Ladd Formation may expose adverse bedding that shall require remediation. The majority of the cut slopes should expose bedding dipping into the slope or at an angle steeper than the proposed cut slopes (greater than 60 degrees). Cut slopes within the Ladd Formation that expose bedding dipping into the slope or at an angle steeper than the proposed cut slopes are expected to be grossly stable; however, the final determination shall be made based on exposed conditions during grading. Cut slopes within the Ladd Formation may expose conglomerate resulting in poorly cemented sands, cobbles and boulders at finish grade, producing a rough uneven surface. These cut slopes shall be evaluated in the field by the Project Engineering Geologist or Geotechnical Engineer. Replacement of those slopes with compacted stabilization fills may be required. Future exploration and in-grading observation could reveal more favorable geology in these specific areas shall be 2 feet. Due to grading limit restrictions, removals of unsuitable soils beyond the proposed toe may be limited; therefore, additional slope maintenance shall be expected in the areas where a 1:1 projection into approved materials cannot be achieved.
• Alluvium/Colluvium: Cut slopes exposing alluvial/colluvial soils (Qal) shall require replacement with a drained stabilization fill. Typically, such corrective grading would be constructed with a minimum key width corresponding to one-half the full height of the superjacent slope, but not less than 15 feet. Minimum key depths at the toe shall be 2 feet. All stabilization fills shall be provided with a backdrain and outlet system as detailed in Appendix IV of the Geotechnical Report.
• Silverado Formation: Cut slopes within the Silverado Formation are expected to be grossly stable; however the final determination shall be made based on exposed conditions during grading. Cut slopes within the Silverado Formation may expose poorly cemented sands, cobbles and boulders at finish grade, which would produce a rough uneven surface. These cut slopes shall be evaluated in the field by the Project Engineering Geologist or Geotechnical Engineer. Replacement of those slopes with compacted stabilization fills may be required. • Fill Slopes: The majority of fill slopes on the project are designed at a maximum slope ratio of 2:1. The highest fill slope is approximately 160 feet in height and located subjacent to Lot 68. Based on the results of the calculations, the 2:1 fill slopes 160 feet and less in height, when properly constructed with onsite materials, are expected to be grossly stable, as designed. Keys shall be constructed at the toe of all fill slopes where unsuitable soil removals do not accomplish a minimum key width of one-half the slope height plus bench widths or twenty (20) feet, whichever is greater. Minimum key depths at the toe shall be 2 feet. Due to grading limit restrictions, removals of unsuitable soils beyond the proposed toe may be limited; therefore, additional slope maintenance shall be expected in the areas where a 1:1 projection into approved materials cannot be achieved.

Mitigation Measure GEO-3: Subsurface Drainage. Canyon subdrains are proposed as depicted on Figures 1 through 7 of the Geotechnical Report and shall consist of 6-inch and 8-inch diameter pipes and shall be constructed in accordance with the details shown in Appendix IV of the Geotechnical Report. Final determination of drain locations shall be made in the field. Outletting of subdrain systems shall require coordination with the Project Civil Engineer in determining suitable facilities to accept to drain water.

Mitigation Measure GEO-4: Overexcavation. Where a transition of cut and fill occurs across a finished lot, it shall be necessary to overexcavate the bedrock portions and replace it with compacted fill. The depth of bedrock overecavation shall be equal to 1/3 the maximum fill depth (after removals) on the fill side of the transition. Anticipated transition lots are shown on figures 1-7 of the geotechnical report. Cut pads shall be overexcavated a minimum of 5 feet to provide a uniform foundation material. Some highly expansive soils of the silverado formation may be encountered at grade in some areas.

Consideration shall be given to increasing the overexcavation depth to mitigate for highly expansive soils, if warranted.

Difficult excavation with a backhoe can be expected in some street areas. Ginter & associates recommends street overexcavation and replacement with compacted fill to facilitate utility emplacement in these street areas and driveways.

Depths of overexcavation shall extend one (1) foot below the deepest utility line.

The fill materials to be used as compacted engineered fill shall be free of organics, debris, deleterious materials, and rocks over 6 inches maximum dimension, and must be approved by the project geotechnical engineer or project geologist prior to use. Import soils, if required, shall be evaluated by the project geotechnical engineer for suitability prior to delivery. Import soils shall be free of trash, debris or other objectionable materials. All import fill shall have engineering characteristics similar to the on-site soils.

Mitigation Measure GEO-6: Fill Placement, Moisture Conditioning, And Compaction. After approval of the overexcavation and prior to placement of any compacted engineered fill materials, the exposed removal bottoms shall be scarified to a minimum depth of six (6) inches.

The area shall then be moisture conditioned approximately 1 to 2 percentage points above the optimum moisture content, and compacted to a minimum of 90 (or 93) percent of the applicable maximum density. The planned development will involve deep fills in the canyon areas and side-hill fill slopes. In order to reduce the amount of fill settlement, the fill shall be compacted to the minimum relative compaction shown below:

Fill Depth (Feet)
Minimum Relative Compaction
(ASTM: D1557) (%)
0 – 50 90
Below 50 93
Fill slopes shall also be constructed at the minimum relative compactions shown above, with the exception of the outer 3 feet of the slope face which can be placed at 90% relative compaction. Deep fill areas requiring 93% relative compaction are delineated in Plate VI of the Geotechnical Report.

Generation of oversized rock (over 8 inches in maximum dimension) from excavations in the bedrocks is anticipated.

Oversize rock shall be placed in single file windrows not exceeding three feet in height and six (6) feet in width with a minimum equipment width (15 feet) separating each windrow or a rock blanket fill not exceeding two (2) to three (3) feet in height. Large erratic rocks shall be buried individually. Granular fill shall be thoroughly flooded in the rock voids and covered with a minimum two feet compacted fill blanket. Successive windrows shall be staggered and none shall be placed within 10 feet of finished grade or closer than 15 feet to compacted fill slope surfaces. Typical rock placement construction detail is provided in Appendix IV of the Geotechnical Report. Placement of rock windrows shall be performed under the observation and recommendations of the Project Geotechnical Engineer.

Fill materials shall be spread in thin lifts, moisture conditioned to about 1 to 2 percentage points over optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 90 (or 93) percent of the laboratory maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM Test Method D-1557. Each lift shall be treated in a like manner until the desired finished grades are achieved.

The grading contractor shall have suitable and sufficient compaction equipment in operation to achieve the required compaction. When necessary, earthmoving equipment may be utilized for compaction or temporarily halted in order to permit adequate compaction of fills.

Mitigation Measure GEO-7: Slope Construction

1. Care shall be taken during grading to prevent spillage of loose materials over slopes to remain natural. Should loose soil be spilled onto natural slopes by the grading contractor, removal of the loose fill shall be required.

2. Fill shall be properly benched into firm bedrock or compacted fill as directed by the Project Engineering Geologist and/or Geotechnical Engineer during grading. Typical benching shall include 4-foot verticals exposing approved, competent material (see Appendix D – Typical Benching Detail of the Geotechnical Report).

3. In order to minimize surficial slumps on compacted fill slopes, the following grading procedures shall be used:
a) Where possible, fill slopes shall be constructed by overfilling a minimum of three (3) horizontal feet and then trimming back to expose the dense inner core of the slope surface. Compacted fill slopes shall be back-rolled during construction at intervals not exceeding four (4) vertical feet. Care shall be taken to construct the slope in a workmanlike manner so that it is positioned at its designed orientation and slope ratio. Achieving a uniform slope surface by subsequent thin wedge filling must be avoided. Any add-on correction to a fill slope shall be done by overfilling the affected area in horizontal, compacted lifts which must be benched into the existing fill prism. The overfilled slope may then be trimmed to the design gradient.
b) Where fill slopes are planned above natural slopes and cannot be overfilled and trimmed back, the slopes shall be rolled for the entire height of the slope with a sheepsfoot roller and then finished with a grid roller.

If the desired compaction is not obtained in this manner, a vibratory sheepsfoot roller may be required. To City of Corona

be most effective, this equipment shall be anchored and manipulated from a side-boom tractor. In lieu of a grid roller, the slope may be track rolled with a John Deere 450, Caterpillar D-8 dozer or equivalent. To obtain the required compaction and appearance of the slope face, the soil moisture shall be maintained at above optimum from the time of mass filling to the completion of grid rolling. c) The grading contractor shall take proper care to avoid spillage of loose material down the face of the slopes during grading and during drainage terrace and down-drain construction. Fine grading operations for benches and down-drains shall not deposit loose trimmed soils on the finished slope surfaces. Loose soil materials shall require removal.
d) Seeding and planting of slopes shall proceed as rapidly as possible to achieve a well-established and deeprooted vegetal cover requiring minimal watering. The type of vegetation and watering schedule shall be established by a landscape architect familiar with hillside maintenance.

Mitigation Measure GEO-8: Earthwork Observations And Testing a) The site preparation, over-excavation, and earthwork shall be performed under the observation and testing by a representative of the Project Geotechnical Engineer or Project Geologist. b) The fill shall be tested at the time of placement to verify that the required compaction is achieved. c) The fill compaction shall be determined in the field by the Sand Cone Method (ASTM: D 1556) or Nuclear Gauge Method (ASTM: D 2216), or other test method approved by the Project Geotechnical Engineer. d) During grading, an adequate number of field density tests shall be performed using approved test procedures in order to determine compliance of earthwork to the project requirements. The frequency of field density testing shall be in accordance with the recommendations of the Project Geotechnical Engineer. e) Quality control testing performed to determine the acceptability of the fill compaction shall be based on the laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content determined in accordance with ASTM: D 1557 test procedure.
f) Any surface or subsurface obstructions, or questionable materials encountered during grading shall be brought immediately to the attention of the Project Geotechnical Engineer. Deeper excavations may be required, should unsuitable soils be encountered locally, as determined by the Project Geotechnical Engineer and/or Project Geologist.

Mitigation Measure GEO-10: Foundation Design. The compacted engineered fill at the project site is anticipated to be low to medium soil expansion potential. Presented below are preliminary geotechnical criteria for design of building foundations, based on medium soil expansion potential for the on-site soils:

Option 1 - Conventional Footing:

Allowable Bearing Pressure (1) = 1,500 pounds per square foot (psf) Minimum Footing Depth (2) = 24 inches
Minimum Footing Width = Continuous: 12 inches; Isolated: 24 inches Passive Soil Pressure (3) = 250 psf/ft.

Friction Coefficient = 0.30 (ultimate)
Minimum Footing Reinforcement = Four No. 4 bars, 2 each at top and bottom Garage Door Grade Beam = 18 inches deep, Four No. 4 bars, Two each at top and bottom, tied into foundation elements.
(1) The above value may be increased 250 psf for each additional foot exceeding the minimum embedment depth and/or width, subject to a maximum of 2,500 psf. Allowable bearing pressures may be increased by one-third for short term loading due to wind or seismic forces.
(2) Footing depth is from lowest adjacent finished soil grade. Footings shall be deepened, as necessary, to provide setback distance from adjacent slope in conformance with CBC criteria.

Environmental Impact Report Addendum

Page 4 ends

Option 2 – Post-Tensioned Foundation:

If post-tensioned slab/footing system is selected for the subject project, the design may be based on the geotechnical criteria shown below for medium soil expansion potential. These are based on the guidelines presented in the PTI, Third Edition design manual.

Thornthwaite Moisture Index = -20
Equilibrium Suction = 3.6
Edge Lift Moisture Variation Distance, em = 5.1 feet
Edge Lift, ym = 1.1 inches
Center Lift Moisture Variation Distance, em = 9.0 feet
Center Lift, ym = 0.47 inches
Minimum Footing Depth (Exterior) = 18 inches below adjacent grade The above foundation criteria are based on medium soil expansion consideration only. Foundation design shall consider anticipated post-construction settlements, as appropriate. Foundation design details such as slab thickness, concrete strength, reinforcements, etc. shall be established by the Project Structural Engineer considering medium soil expansion and settlement potential provided below.

Mitigation Measure GEO-11: Foundation Settlement. Total static and differential post-construction settlements for footings designed and constructed in accordance with the criteria given below and supporting loads not exceeding the typical loadings for residential construction (column and wall loads on the order of 30 kips and 3 kips/lineal foot, respectively) are not anticipated to exceed the values shown below. The settlement estimates shall be confirmed based on review of the foundation plans. Structures shall be designed for the following post-construction settlements:
- Total settlement = 1 inch
- Differential settlement = ¾-inch (*)
(*) Between similarly loaded column footings and for continuous footings and slabs over a distance of approximately 30 feet.

General Remarks:
(i) Footing depths shall not be allowed to be affected adversely, such as through erosion softening, digging, landscaping, etc.
(ii) Where foundations encroach closer than five (5) feet horizontally from the flow line of drainage swales, the footing shall be deepened sufficiently to maintain the required embedment depth below the adjacent flow line. (iii) Foundation details such as concrete strength, reinforcements, etc. shall be established by the Project Structural Engineer, considering the loading and medium soil expansion potential. The footing and slab reinforcements recommended in the Geotechnical Report are minimum requirements. More restrictive criteria based on structural design considerations or Code requirements shall govern. (iv) Foundation excavations shall be observed and approved by the Project Geotechnical Engineer prior to the placement of reinforcement or concrete. Forming of footing excavations may be required. Excavations shall be free of slough and debris and thoroughly moisture conditioned prior to placing concrete. (v) Excavated material from footing and utility trenches shall not be placed in slab-on-grade areas unless properly compacted and tested.

Recommended Minimum Criteria For Slab-On-Grade Are Shown Below:

Concrete Floor Slabs: Concrete floor slabs shall be 5 inches thick (minimum) and shall be reinforced with No. 3 bars at 18 inches on center, each way at mid height. No. 3 bars at 18 inches on center shall be provided connecting floor slabs to footings. In order to minimize migration of moisture up the concrete slab from soil subgrade and damage to floor coverings, a moisture barrier/water vapor retarder is recommended beneath floor slabs as discussed hereinafter.

Moisture/Water Vapor Retarder for Concrete Slab- on-Grade: In order to reduce the potential for moisture/water vapor migration up through the slab and possibly affecting floor covering, a moisture/vapor retarder is recommended under City of Corona

concrete floor slab-on-grade. The moisture barrier shall be properly installed, lapped and sealed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

Punctures and rips shall be repaired prior to placement of sand. At a minimum, this moisture/water vapor retarder shall consist of 10- millimeter thick polyethylene (“Visqueen”), lapped and sealed, and placed mid-height within a 4-inch coarse sand layer. This moisture/water vapor retarder shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. The following recommendations are based on the tentative guidelines by the American Concrete Institute (ACI, April 2001) to reduce the potential moisture/water vapor intrusion in concrete slab-on-grade. Based on Ginter & Associates’ review of available literature, it appears that the ACI procedure would be more effective to help reduce potential moisture/water vapor migration up through concrete slab-on-grade.

Recommendations based on the ACI guidelines are presented below:
• The moisture/water vapor retarder shall consist of high strength polyethylene membrane and shall meet or exceed the ASTM: E-1745-97 Class C material requirements for water vapor permeance, tensile strength and puncture resistance. The vapor retarder shall consist of “Moistop Plus” (Fortifiber Building Products Systems) or “Vapor Block” VB 15 (Americover, Inc.), or approved equal. The vapor retarder shall be underlain by a capillary break comprised of minimum 4 inches thick pea gravel layer. The gravel layer shall be placed and compacted on approved soil sub-grade.
• The membrane shall be placed on approved gravel layer and properly lapped and sealed. Membranes intersecting utility pipes, sewer lines, ducts or drains shall be properly wrapped around the penetrations and sealed. All punctures and rips in the membrane shall be repaired prior to placement of concrete, following manufacturer’s recommendations. The vapor retarder shall be installed in general accordance with the procedures outlined in ASTM: E-1643, and in conformance with the installation procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
• To minimize slab curling, a low slump concrete (low shrinkage mix design) shall be used for the slab construction, as determined by the Project Structural Engineer.

Mitigation Measure GEO-17: Retaining Walls
• Foundations: Retaining wall foundations may be supported on either compacted engineered fill or competent bedrock. If a bedrock/fill transition is encountered, the bedrock portion shall be over- excavated minimum 2 feet and replaced with approved compacted fill. Alternatively, a cold joint shall be constructed in both the footing and the wall. Footings may be designed in accordance with the foundation design criteria presented in the Geotechnical Report when embedded at least two feet below lowest adjacent grade. Footings located on or at top of slopes shall be deepened, as necessary, to provide minimum lateral setback between footing and slope faces in accordance with CBC requirements.
• Lateral Earth Pressures: The earth pressures acting on retaining walls depend primarily on allowable wall movement, type of backfill materials, backfill slopes, wall inclination, surcharges, and any hydrostatic pressure.

The following lateral earth pressures are recommended for vertical walls with no hydrostatic pressure and no surcharge loading:

Wall Condition Backfill Type
Lateral Earth Pressure (Equivalent Fluid
Pressure) (pcf)
Level 2:1 (H:V)
Active (Cantilever) Sandy Soils 40 65
The surcharge effect of anticipated loads on the wall backfill (i.e. traffic, construction equipment, footings, etc.) shall be included in the wall design. If the wall is free to deflect, 33 percent of the maximum surcharge load located within a distance equal to the height of wall shall be used in the design. • Backfill: Retaining wall backfill shall consist of predominantly granular non-expansive soils. The backfill shall extend within a 45-degree plane from the wall footing. Retaining wall backfill shall be mechanically compacted to minimum 90 percent of the applicable laboratory maximum density and performed under the observation and testing of the Project Geotechnical Engineer. No jetting, ponding, or flooding shall be permitted. No backfill shall be placed against concrete until minimum design strengths are attained. • Backfill Drainage: The wall design shall include waterproofing and weep holes or sub-drains or back- drains, as appropriate, for relieving possible hydrostatic pressures. If on-site soils are utilized for wall backfill, the design shall include a prefabricated drainage blanket (such as Miradrain 2000, or equivalent). At a minimum, sub-drains shall consist of 4-inch diameter, perforated Schedule 40, PVC pipe or equivalent, embedded in approximately 3 cubic feet per lineal foot of ¾-inch (maximum) rock, or approved alternate. This permeable material shall be enveloped in Geofabric consisting of Mirafi 140 or equivalent. The pipe and trench bottom shall be sloped at a gradient of 2+ percent to a suitable discharge outlet. Sub-drains placed behind retaining walls shall be approved by the Project Geotechnical Engineer prior to backfill placement.

If utility lines are located within the zone of footings, the backfill shall be compacted to a minimum 95 percent relative compaction or slurry backfilled (minimum 1-1/2 sack cemented sand mix. • To reduce potential water migration into building sub- grade through the granular bedding/shading layer and/trench backfill, utility trenches shall be backfilled with the onsite finer grained materials or sand-cement slurry for minimum 3 feet length at their entry points. • Trenches in fill soils and alluvial deposits greater than 4 feet in depth shall be shored or sloped back as required by the local regulatory agency, the state of California Division of Industrial Safety Construction Safety Orders, and Federal OSHA requirements.

Mitigation Measure GEO-20: Asphalt Concrete Pavement. Preliminary asphalt concrete pavement sections for the planned streets in the development were developed utilizing the Caltrans method of design and the structural section design guide for California cities and counties. The following recommended pavement sections were computed assuming an “r” value of 30 for site soils compacted as sub-grade material, and assumed traffic indices. The actual “r” value will depend on the soil conditions exposed at the planned street sub-grade elevations. During rough grading, “r” value testing shall be performed on the pavement sub-grade soils to confirm the pavement design basis. Further analysis and evaluation are necessary if the design traffic index and the sub-grade “r” value are different from those used in Ginter & Associates’ analyses.

Mitigation Measure NS-9: Prior to approval of any grading permits that require blasting activities and a blasting permit, the Project Applicant shall prepare and submit for City review and approval of a Blasting Noise and Vibration Monitoring and Abatement Plan (“Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan”). At a minimum, the required Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan shall include the following:
• Specified blasting hours, restricting blasting only to Monday through Friday and only between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
• Conceptual blast designs. Conceptual blast designs shall be based on “scaled distance” criteria (i.e., defined as the distance in feet between a blast drill hole and the structure of concern, divided by the square root of the explosives loading per delay period in pounds-units in feet per pound1/2). The scaled distance chosen for the initial design should be supported by statistical analysis indicating the resulting ground vibration will be less than the criteria set for the Project. The scaled distance used for production blasts may be modified based on the results of the test blast(s) but should be conservative enough to produce vibration and airblast levels within the project specifications. It should be noted that the conceptual blast designs are general and will need to be modified during the project based on actual conditions encountered in the field and the results of site-specific blasting.
• Test Blasts. One or more test blasts shall be performed in an area outside of critical distance of residential structures or other improvements of concern; the critical distance shall based on the scaled distance calculations with a 10 percent distance increase.
• Controlled Blasting Techniques. Include techniques and procedures to control and monitor flyrock, airblast, and ground vibration:
 Flyrock mitigation measures may include: soil cover, leaving alluvial materials in place over materials to be blasted, and/or blast mats.
 Crushed rock (i.e., 3/8”) should be used for stemming materials  Drill cuttings are not acceptable.
 All stemming materials should be tamped in-place.
• The Blasting Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan shall include procedures for the submittal of blast reports and record keeping.
• The Blasting Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan shall outline safety measures and procedures to notify property owners that blasting will occur.
• If specified vibration limits are exceeded, the Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan shall require blasting operations to cease immediately, and a revised blasting plan shall be submitted to the City of Corona. Blasting shall not resume until a revised blasting plan has been reviewed and the Contractor has expressed in writing the conditions that will be applied to further blasting work. • Pre-Blast Survey Requirements. The following measures shall be specified in the Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan:

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Mitigation Measure BIO-MM1. The project impact areas and avoidance areas shall be flagged or fenced prior to clearing to prevent incursion into unsurveyed or avoided areas. A qualified biological monitor(s) shall monitor work activities during the initial clearing and grading phase of construction (including any ground or vegetation disturbance, demolition, fence installation, grading of existing roads, material delivery, etc.). The monitoring biologist shall ensure the flagging or fencing remains intact and no incursions into avoided areas occurs. The monitoring biologist shall examine each area of impact as the clearing/grading operations move into an uncleared native habitat area or into any area that has had a lapse in construction for more than 30 days to ensure no sensitive wildlife species are present. The biologist shall inspect debris piles, pipes, burrows, vegetation, leaf litter piles, and other potential refugia for sensitive wildlife species prior to initiation of clearing, grubbing, grading, or any other Project activity that may injure or kill sensitive wildlife species.

If wildlife is discovered, the biological monitor shall take appropriate action as defined in the mitigation measures, permit conditions, and regulations. The biological monitor may move wildlife or humanely encourage it to move out of harm’s way, if safe and feasible and permitted to do so. Potential day roosts for pallid bat (e.g., caves, crevices, mines, hollow trees, buildings, etc.) shall be inspected by a qualified bat biologist prior to initial ground disturbance. If bats are roosting, a bat exclusion plan shall be prepared and submitted to CDFW for review prior to impacts. If a colony is discovered during the breeding season (March 1 -October 1), the biologist shall determine appropriate avoidance measures, including, but not limited to sound walls, buffers, and Project phasing/timing, to prevent disturbance to the colony until all young are weaned and capable of foraging independently.

Monitoring and survey activities shall be documented on a daily basis. All monitoring reports and communications shall be retained in Project files to allow review by the City of Corona, CDFW, and USFWS, if requested.

Mitigation Measure BIO-MM2. Special Status Botanical Species. The following measures shall apply to address and minimize potential impacts to Coulter’s matilija poppy, intermediate mariposa lily, and chaparral nolina to the extent feasible.
• Impacts shall be minimized and avoided to the extent feasible. Prior to commencement of ground-disturbing activities (i.e., clearing and grading), Coulter’s matilija poppy and intermediate mariposa lily plants within the development footprint shall be salvaged for use in the Project area, avoidance area, or reuse in local restoration projects. In addition, a qualified botanist shall collect seeds from plants within the grading impact area during the spring or summer before grading commencement.
• Prior to commencement of ground-disturbing activities (i.e., clearing and grading), impacts to chaparral nolina shall be mitigated through translocation and seed collection with propagation to an on-site or off‐site preserved property acceptable to the City. The property shall be composed of habitat characteristics suitable to support chaparral nolina, including but not limited to: appropriate soils, elevation, and supporting chaparral or coastal sage scrub (or a combination thereof) habitat. The property shall be conserved via recordation of a conservation easement or deed restriction in favor of a California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)-due diligence approved local conservation entity to protect chaparral nolina on the property in perpetuity. Alternatively, the land may be transferred in fee title to a CDFW-approved local conservation entity. A management fund shall be established by the Applicant and will consist of an interest-bearing account with the amount of capital necessary to generate sufficient interest and/or income to fund all monitoring, management, and protection of the conservation area(s), including but not limited to, reasonable administrative overhead, biological monitoring, invasive species and trash removal, signage replacement and repair, law enforcement measures, long-term management reporting (as described below), and other actions designed to maintain and improve the habitat of the conserved land(s), in perpetuity.
• Prior to commencement of ground-disturbing activities, a Property Analysis Record, or substantially equivalent analysis, shall be conducted by the Applicant and approved by the City to determine the management needs and costs described above, which then will be used to calculate the capital needed for the management of the fund.

This management fund shall be held and managed by a CDFW-approved local conservation entity. To protect the mitigation area(s), the Project Applicant shall place appropriate signage around the perimeter of each site.

Except for uses appropriate to a habitat conservation area, the public shall not have access to the mitigation area(s), and no activities shall be permitted within the mitigation areas, except maintenance of habitat, including City of Corona

The design and operation of the drainage channel shall be adequate to preclude discharge of water into open space areas that are of lower quality or higher quality than current conditions. The proposed development shall incorporate measures, including measures required through the NPDES requirements, to ensure that the quantity and quality of runoff discharged to the open space area is not altered in an adverse way when compared with existing conditions. In particular, measures shall be put in place to avoid discharge of untreated surface runoff from developed and paved areas into open space areas. Stormwater systems shall be designed to prevent the release of toxins, chemicals, petroleum products, exotic plant materials, or other elements that might degrade or harm biological resources or ecosystem processes within open space areas. This will be accomplished using a variety of methods including natural detention basins, grass swales, or mechanical trapping devices. Regular maintenance shall occur to ensure effective operations of runoff control systems.

PDF BIO-2, Toxics – The proposed project is designed to utilize natural drainage patterns for the flow of surface water.

Water Quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) include education, storm drain stenciling, and street sweeping in compliance with the City of Corona’s requirements. The earthen channel shall be signed to filter potential toxics in the storm water prior to its discharge into open space areas. These BMPs will be implemented as part of the storm water pollution prevention measures for the project, in accordance with all appropriate NPDES requirements. The project would result in the additional use of hazardous materials in limited quantities associated with normal residential use such as cleaning products, solvents, herbicides, and insecticides. However, compliance with regulations will reduce the potential risk of hazardous material exposure to a level that is less than significant. An information pamphlet has been prepared for each homeowner regarding the use of toxics.

PDF BIO-3, Lighting – Outdoor lighting of residences will be designed so that all direct beams would be confined to dwelling sites. Project lighting will not intrude into the open space conservation areas. Street lighting, parking lot lighting, and other project-related illumination sources will be positioned, directed, and shielded so as to avoid “light spill” into the conserved areas. The proposed project will avoid any night lighting adjacent to the open space areas. Night lighting will not be used during the course of construction unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, the lights will be directed and shielded to minimize lighting of the surrounding habitat. The level of off-site lighting and lighting fixtures would comply with the applicable requirements and policies of the City of Corona.

PDF BIO-4, Noise – The proposed project incorporates landscape elements including trees, shrubs, and groundcover, which will assist in noise reduction on the project site. In addition, a noise analysis prepared for the project found that no proposed on-site or surrounding sensitive land uses would experience long-term noise levels in excess of 65 dBA during the daytime hours under build-out of the proposed project. This daytime noise level would not result in exterior nighttime levels greater than 45 dBA. Therefore, no noise created on the project site would exceed residential noise standards.

PDF BIO-5, Invasives – Exotic Vegetation Control – Design guidelines for the project will provide the homeowners with a list of native landscaping materials permitted within the project site. These materials have been selected for their contribution to the project theme, adaptability to local climatic and soil conditions, and for their compatibility with the unique natural environment in the project site. The MSHCP has identified exotic invasive plants that should be areas avoided adjacent to the MSHCP Conservation Area in Table 6-2, Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP; none of these plants will be utilized for the proposed project and their use by future homeowners will be prohibited.

PDF BIO-6, Barriers – The proposed project will include theme walls along project perimeter streets adjacent to public streets, and will include walls and fencing located where public view and/or important interfaces are of concern. The proposed project will incorporate special edge treatments designed to separate development areas from open space areas. These areas of native landscaping and fencing will serve to minimize unauthorized public access, domestic animals predation, and illegal trespass and dumping. Exclusion fencing will be permanently placed where development abuts avoided and adjacent open space areas. The exclusion fence will be a minimum of eight feet in height and will be installed and maintained for the purposed of controlling human and pet access (cats and dogs) into the open space area and be in compliance with MSHCP requirements. The fencing will be permanent and will be maintained in perpetuity.

Approval of the fencing design will be required by the City of Corona prior to project initiation.
