low-expansive cohesive layer, or pavement, should be placed at the surface to help prevent surface water intrusion. A geotextile or filter fabric should be placed between the granular drainage layers and adjacent soils (excavated face or compacted materials) to prevent fines from migrating into the drainage layers.

Backfill should be placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in thickness, moisture conditioned to slightly above optimum moisture content, and mechanically compacted throughout to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by Modified Proctor (ASTM D 1557). Retaining walls should be properly braced prior to placement and compaction of backfill should be performed with extreme care not to damage the walls.

6.7 New Pavement
The following recommendations for the new pavement (if needed) are intended for vehicular traffic associated with the hotel development within the subject property.

New Pavement Subgrades
Following completion of the recommended subgrade preparation procedures, the subgrade in areas of new pavement construction are expected to consist of existing on-site soil that exhibit a very low expansion potential and based on a USCS designation of SC. An R-value of 10 has been assumed in the preparation of the pavement design. It should however, be recognized that the City of Covina may require a specific R-value test to verify the use of the following design. It is recommended that this testing, if required, be conducted following completion of rough grading in the proposed pavement areas so that the R-value test results are indicative of the actual pavement subgrade soils.

Alternatively, a minimum code pavement section may be required if a specific R-value test is not performed. To use this R-value, all fill added to the pavement subgrade must have pavement support characteristics at least equivalent to the existing soils, and must be placed and compacted in accordance with the project specifications.

Asphalt Pavements
The following table presents recommended thicknesses for a new flexible pavement structure consisting of asphaltic concrete over a granular base, along with the appropriate CALTRANS specifications for proper materials and placement procedures. An alternate pavement section has been provided for use in parking stall areas due to the anticipated lower traffic intensity in these areas.

However, care must be used so that truck traffic is excluded from areas where the thinner pavement section is used, since premature pavement distress may occur. In the event that heavy vehicle traffic cannot be excluded from the specific areas, the pavement section recommended for drive lanes should be used throughout the parking lot.

Pavement recommendations are based upon CALTRANS design parameters for a twenty-year design period and assume proper drainage and construction monitoring. It is, therefore, recommended that the geotechnical engineer monitors and tests subgrade preparation, and that the subgrade be evaluated immediately before pavement construction.

Portland Concrete Pavements
Portland Cement Concrete pavements are recommended in areas where traffic is concentrated such as the entrance/exit aprons as well as areas subjected to heavy loads such as the trash enclosure loading zone. The preparation of the subgrade soils within concrete pavement areas should be performed as previously described in this report. Portland Cement Concrete pavements in high stress areas are recommended to be at least 6 inches thick containing No. 3 bars at 18-inch on-center both ways placed at mid-height. The pavement should be constructed in accordance with Section 40 of the CALTRANS Standard Specifications. A minimum 4-inch thick layer of base course (CALTRANS Class 2) is recommended below the concrete pavement. This base course should be compacted to at least 95% of the material’s maximum dry density.

The maximum joint spacing within all of the Portland Cement Concrete pavements is recommended to be 15 feet to control shrinkage cracking. Load transfer reinforcing is recommended at construction joints perpendicular to traffic flow if construction joints are not properly keyed. In this event, ¾-inch diameter smooth dowel bars, 18 inches in length placed at 12 inches on-center are recommended where joints are perpendicular to the anticipated traffic flow. Expansion joints are recommended only where the pavement abuts fixed objects such as light standard foundations. Tie bars are recommended at the first joint within the perimeter of the concrete pavement area. Tie bars are recommended to be No. 4 bars at 42-inch on-center spacings and at least 48 inches in length.

General Considerations
Pavement recommendations assume proper drainage and construction monitoring and are based on traffic loads as indicated previously. Pavement designs are based on either PCA or CALTRANS design parameters for twenty (20) year design period. However, these designs are also based on a routine pavement maintenance program and significant asphalt concrete pavement rehabilitation after about 8 to 10 years, in order to obtain a reasonable pavement service life.

6.8 Recommended Construction Materials Testing Services The report was prepared assuming that Giles will perform Construction Materials Testing (CMT) services during construction of the proposed development. In general, CMT services are recommended (and expected) to at least include observation and testing of foundation and pavement support soil and other construction materials. It might be necessary for Giles to provide supplemental geotechnical recommendations based on the results of CMT services and specific details of the project not known at this time.

6.9 Basis of Report
This report is based on Giles’ proposal, which is dated April 22, 2021 and is referenced by Giles’ proposal number 2GP-2104006. The actual services for the project varied somewhat from those described in the proposal because of the conditions that were encountered while performing the services and in consideration of the proposed project.

This report is strictly based on the project description given earlier in this report. Giles must be notified if any parts of the project description or our assumptions are not accurate so that this report can be amended, if needed. This report is based on the assumption that the facility will be designed and constructed according to the codes that govern construction at the site.

The conclusions and recommendations in this report are based on estimated subsurface conditions as shown on the Records of Subsurface Exploration. Giles must be notified if the subsurface conditions that are encountered during construction of the proposed development differ from those shown on the Records of Subsurface Exploration because this report will likely need to be revised.

General comments and limitations of this report are given in the appendix. © Giles Engineering Associates, Inc. 2021

FIELD PROCEDURES
The field operations were conducted in general accordance with the procedures recommended by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) designation D 420 entitled “Standard Guide for Sampling Rock and Rock” and/or other relevant specifications.

Soil samples were preserved and transported to Giles’ laboratory in general accordance with the procedures recommended by ASTM designation D 4220 entitled “Standard Practice for Preserving and Transporting Soil Samples.” Brief descriptions of the sampling, testing and field procedures commonly performed by Giles are provided herein.

GILES ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC.

GENERAL FIELD PROCEDURES
Test Boring Elevations
The ground surface elevations reported on the Test Boring Logs are referenced to the assumed benchmark shown on the Boring Location Plan (Figure 1). Unless otherwise noted, the elevations were determined with a conventional hand-level and are accurate to within about 1 foot.

Test Boring Locations
The test borings were located on-site based on the existing site features and/or apparent property lines. Dimensions illustrating the approximate boring locations are reported on the Boring Location Plan (Figure 1).

Water Level Measurement
The water levels reported on the Test Boring Logs represent the depth of “free” water encountered during drilling and/or after the drilling tools were removed from the borehole. Water levels measured within a granular (sand and gravel) soil profile are typically indicative of the water table elevation. It is usually not possible to accurately identify the water table elevation with cohesive (clayey) soils, since the rate of seepage is slow. The water table elevation within cohesive soils must therefore be determined over a period of time with groundwater observation wells.

It must be recognized that the water table may fluctuate seasonally and during periods of heavy precipitation. Depending on the subsurface conditions, water may also become perched above the water table, especially during wet periods.

Borehole Backfilling Procedures
Each borehole was backfilled upon completion of the field operations. If potential contamination was encountered, and/or if required by state or local regulations, boreholes were backfilled with an “impervious” material (such as bentonite slurry).

Borings that penetrated pavements, sidewalks, etc. were “capped” with Portland Cement concrete, asphaltic concrete, or a similar surface material. It must, however, be recognized that the backfill material may settle, and the surface cap may subside, over a period of time. Further backfilling and/or re-surfacing by Giles’ client or the property owner may be required.

FIELD SAMPLING AND TESTING PROCEDURES
Auger Sampling (AU)
Soil samples are removed from the auger flights as an auger is withdrawn above the ground surface. Such samples are used to determine general soil types and identify approximate soil stratifications. Auger samples are highly disturbed and are therefore not typically used for geotechnical strength testing.

Split-Barrel Sampling (SS) – (ASTM D-1586)
A split-barrel sampler with a 2-inch outside diameter is driven into the subsoil with a 140- pound hammer free-falling a vertical distance of 30 inches. The summation of hammerblows required to drive the sampler the final 12-inches of an 18-inch sample interval is defined as the “Standard Penetration Resistance” or N-value is an index of the relative density of granular soils and the comparative consistency of cohesive soils. A soil sample is collected from each SPT interval.

Shelby Tube Sampling (ST) – (ASTM D-1587)
A relatively undisturbed soil sample is collected by hydraulically advancing a thin-walled Shelby Tube sampler into a soil mass. Shelby Tubes have a sharp cutting edge and are commonly 2 to 5 inches in diameter.

Bulk Sample (BS)
A relatively large volume of soils is collected with a shovel or other manually-operated tool. The sample is typically transported to Giles’ materials laboratory in a sealed bag or bucket.

Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DC) – (ASTM STP 399)
This test is conducted by driving a 1.5-inch-diameter cone into the subsoil using a 15- pound steel ring (hammer), free-falling a vertical distance of 20 inches. The number of hammer-blows required to drive the cone 1¾ inches is an indication of the soil strength and density, and is defined as “N”. The Dynamic Cone Penetration test is commonly conducted in hand auger borings, test pits and within excavated trenches. - Continued -

Ring-Lined Barrel Sampling – (ASTM D 3550)
In this procedure, a ring-lined barrel sampler is used to collect soil samples for classification and laboratory testing. This method provides samples that fit directly into laboratory test instruments without additional handling/disturbance.

Sampling and Testing Procedures
The field testing and sampling operations were conducted in general accordance with the procedures recommended by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and/or other relevant specifications. Results of the field testing (i.e. N-values) are reported on the Test Boring Logs. Explanations of the terms and symbols shown on the logs are provided on the appendix enclosure entitled “General Notes”.

APPENDIX C

LABORATORY TESTING AND CLASSIFICATION
The laboratory testing was conducted under the supervision of a geotechnical engineer in accordance with the procedures recommended by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and/or other relevant specifications. Brief descriptions of laboratory tests commonly performed by Giles are provided herein.

GILES ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC.

LABORATORY TESTING AND CLASSIFICATION
Photoionization Detector (PID)
In this procedure, soil samples are “scanned” in Giles’ analytical laboratory using a Photoionization Detector (PID). The instrument is equipped with an 11.7 eV lamp calibrated to a Benzene Standard and is capable of detecting a minute concentration of certain Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) vapors, such as those commonly associated with petroleum products and some solvents. Results of the PID analysis are expressed in HNu (manufacturer’s) units rather than actual concentration.

Moisture Content (w) (ASTM D 2216)
Moisture content is defined as the ratio of the weight of water contained within a soil sample to the weight of the dry solids within the sample. Moisture content is expressed as a percentage.

Unconfined Compressive Strength (qu) (ASTM D 2166)
An axial load is applied at a uniform rate to a cylindrical soil sample. The unconfined compressive strength is the maximum stress obtained or the stress when 15% axial strain is reached, whichever occurs first.

Calibrated Penetrometer Resistance (qp)
The small, cylindrical tip of a hand-held penetrometer is pressed into a soil sample to a prescribed depth to measure the soils capacity to resist penetration. This test is used to evaluate unconfined compressive strength.

Vane-Shear Strength (qs)
The blades of a vane are inserted into the flat surface of a soil sample and the vane is rotated until failure occurs. The maximum shear resistance measured immediately prior to failure is taken as the vane-shear strength.

Loss-on-Ignition (ASTM D 2974; Method C)
The Loss-on-Ignition (L.O.I.) test is used to determine the organic content of a soil sample. The procedure is conducted by heating a dry soil sample to 440°C in order to burn-off or “ash” organic matter present within the sample. The L.O.I. value is the ratio of the weight loss due to ignition compared to the initial weight of the dry sample. L.O.I. is expressed as a percentage.

Particle Size Distribution (ASTB D 421, D 422, and D 1140) This test is performed to determine the distribution of specific particle sizes (diameters) within a soil sample. The distribution of coarse-grained soil particles (sand and gravel) is determined from a “sieve analysis,” which is conducted by passing the sample through a series of nested sieves. The distribution of fine-grained soil particles (silt and clay) is determined from a “hydrometer analysis” which is based on the sedimentation of particles suspended in water.

Consolidation Test (ASTM D 2435)
In this procedure, a series of cumulative vertical loads are applied to a small, laterally confined soil sample. During each load increment, vertical compression (consolidation) of the sample is measured over a period of time. Results of this test are used to estimate settlement and time rate of settlement.

Classification of Samples
Each soil sample was visually-manually classified, based on texture and plasticity, in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D-2488-75). The classifications are reported on the Test Boring Logs.

Laboratory Testing
The laboratory testing operations were conducted in general accordance with the procedures recommended by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and/or other relevant specifications. Results of the laboratory tests are provided on the Test Boring Logs or other appendix enclosures. Explanation of the terms and symbols used on the logs is provided on the appendix enclosure entitled “General Notes.”

California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Test ASTM D-1833
The CBR test is used for evaluation of a soil subgrade for pavement design. The test consists of measuring the force required for a 3-square-inch cylindrical piston to penetrate 0.1 or 0.2 inch into a compacted soil sample. The result is expressed as a percent of force required to penetrate a standard compacted crushed stone.

Unless a CBR test has been specifically requested by the client, the CBR is estimated from published charts, based on soil classification and strength characteristics. A typical correlation chart is below.

Geotechnical-Engineering Report
Important Information about This
Subsurface problems are a principal cause of construction delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes.

While you cannot eliminate all such risks, you can manage them. The following information is provided to help.

The Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA)
has prepared this advisory to help you – assumedly
a client representative – interpret and apply this
geotechnical-engineering report as effectively as
possible. In that way, you can benefit from a lowered
exposure to problems associated with subsurface
conditions at project sites and development of
them that, for decades, have been a principal cause
of construction delays, cost overruns, claims,
and disputes. If you have questions or want more
information about any of the issues discussed herein,
contact your GBA-member geotechnical engineer.

Active engagement in GBA exposes geotechnical
engineers to a wide array of risk-confrontation
techniques that can be of genuine benefit for
everyone involved with a construction project.

Understand the Geotechnical-Engineering Services
Provided for this Report
Geotechnical-engineering services typically include the planning, collection, interpretation, and analysis of exploratory data from widely spaced borings and/or test pits. Field data are combined with results from laboratory tests of soil and rock samples obtained from field exploration (if applicable), observations made during site reconnaissance, and historical information to form one or more models of the expected subsurface conditions beneath the site. Local geology and alterations of the site surface and subsurface by previous and proposed construction are also important considerations. Geotechnical engineers apply their engineering training, experience, and judgment to adapt the requirements of the prospective project to the subsurface model(s). Estimates are made of the subsurface conditions that will likely be exposed during construction as well as the expected performance of foundations and other structures being planned and/or affected by construction activities.

The culmination of these geotechnical-engineering services is typically a geotechnical-engineering report providing the data obtained, a discussion of the subsurface model(s), the engineering and geologic engineering assessments and analyses made, and the recommendations developed to satisfy the given requirements of the project. These reports may be titled investigations, explorations, studies, assessments, or evaluations.

Regardless of the title used, the geotechnical-engineering report is an engineering interpretation of the subsurface conditions within the context of the project and does not represent a close examination, systematic inquiry, or thorough investigation of all site and subsurface conditions.

Geotechnical-Engineering Services are Performed
for Specific Purposes, Persons, and Projects,
and At Specific Times
Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the specific needs, goals, and risk management preferences of their clients. A geotechnical-engineering study conducted for a given civil engineer will not likely meet the needs of a civil-works constructor or even a different civil engineer. Because each geotechnical-engineering study is unique, each geotechnical-engineering report is unique, prepared solely for the client.

Likewise, geotechnical-engineering services are performed for a specific project and purpose. For example, it is unlikely that a geotechnicalengineering study for a refrigerated warehouse will be the same as one prepared for a parking garage; and a few borings drilled during a preliminary study to evaluate site feasibility will not be adequate to develop geotechnical design recommendations for the project.

Do not rely on this report if your geotechnical engineer prepared it:
• for a different client;
• for a different project or purpose;
• for a different site (that may or may not include all or a portion of the original site); or
• before important events occurred at the site or adjacent to it; e.g., man-made events like construction or environmental remediation, or natural events like floods, droughts, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctuations.

Note, too, the reliability of a geotechnical-engineering report can be affected by the passage of time, because of factors like changed subsurface conditions; new or modified codes, standards, or regulations; or new techniques or tools. If you are the least bit uncertain about the continued reliability of this report, contact your geotechnical engineer before applying the recommendations in it. A minor amount of additional testing or analysis after the passage of time – if any is required at all – could prevent major problems.

Read this Report in Full
Costly problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnicalengineering report did not read the report in its entirety. Do not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selective elements only. Read and refer to the report in full.

You Need to Inform Your Geotechnical Engineer
About Change
Your geotechnical engineer considered unique, project-specific factors when developing the scope of study behind this report and developing the confirmation-dependent recommendations the report conveys.

Typical changes that could erode the reliability of this report include those that affect:
• the site’s size or shape;
• the elevation, configuration, location, orientation,
function or weight of the proposed structure and
the desired performance criteria;
• the composition of the design team; or
• project ownership.

As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project or site changes – even minor ones – and request an assessment of their impact. The geotechnical engineer who prepared this report cannot accept

responsibility or liability for problems that arise because the geotechnical engineer was not informed about developments the engineer otherwise would have considered.

Most of the “Findings” Related in This Report
Are Professional Opinions
Before construction begins, geotechnical engineers explore a site’s subsurface using various sampling and testing procedures. Geotechnical engineers can observe actual subsurface conditions only at those specific locations where sampling and testing is performed. The data derived from that sampling and testing were reviewed by your geotechnical engineer, who then applied professional judgement to form opinions about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual sitewide-subsurface conditions may differ – maybe significantly – from those indicated in this report. Confront that risk by retaining your geotechnical engineer to serve on the design team through project completion to obtain informed guidance quickly, whenever needed.

This Report’s Recommendations Are
Confirmation-Dependent
The recommendations included in this report – including any options or alternatives – are confirmation-dependent. In other words, they are not final, because the geotechnical engineer who developed them relied heavily on judgement and opinion to do so. Your geotechnical engineer can finalize the recommendations only after observing actual subsurface conditions exposed during construction. If through observation your geotechnical engineer confirms that the conditions assumed to exist actually do exist, the recommendations can be relied upon, assuming no other changes have occurred. The geotechnical engineer who prepared this report cannot assume responsibility or liability for confirmation-dependent recommendations if you fail to retain that engineer to perform construction observation.

This Report Could Be Misinterpreted
Other design professionals’ misinterpretation of geotechnicalengineering reports has resulted in costly problems. Confront that risk by having your geotechnical engineer serve as a continuing member of the design team, to:
• confer with other design-team members;
• help develop specifications;
• review pertinent elements of other design professionals’ plans and specifications; and
• be available whenever geotechnical-engineering guidance is needed.

You should also confront the risk of constructors misinterpreting this report. Do so by retaining your geotechnical engineer to participate in prebid and preconstruction conferences and to perform constructionphase observations.

Give Constructors a Complete Report and Guidance
Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they can shift unanticipated-subsurface-conditions liability to constructors by limiting the information they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent the costly, contentious problems this practice has caused, include the complete geotechnical-engineering report, along with any attachments or appendices, with your contract documents, but be certain to note conspicuously that you’ve included the material for information purposes only. To avoid misunderstanding, you may also want to note that “informational purposes” means constructors have no right to rely on the interpretations, opinions, conclusions, or recommendations in the report. Be certain that constructors know they may learn about specific project requirements, including options selected from the report, only from the design drawings and specifications. Remind constructors that they may perform their own studies if they want to, and be sure to allow enough time to permit them to do so. Only then might you be in a position to give constructors the information available to you, while requiring them to at least share some of the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Conducting prebid and preconstruction conferences can also be valuable in this respect.

Read Responsibility Provisions Closely
Some client representatives, design professionals, and constructors do not realize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering disciplines. This happens in part because soil and rock on project sites are typically heterogeneous and not manufactured materials with well-defined engineering properties like steel and concrete. That lack of understanding has nurtured unrealistic expectations that have resulted in disappointments, delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes.

To confront that risk, geotechnical engineers commonly include explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes labeled “limitations,” many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers’ responsibilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions.

Your geotechnical engineer should respond fully and frankly.

Geoenvironmental Concerns Are Not Covered
The personnel, equipment, and techniques used to perform an environmental study – e.g., a “phase-one” or “phase-two” environmental site assessment – differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical-engineering study. For that reason, a geotechnical-engineering report does not usually provide environmental findings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Unanticipated subsurface environmental problems have led to project failures. If you have not obtained your own environmental information about the project site, ask your geotechnical consultant for a recommendation on how to find environmental risk-management guidance.

Obtain Professional Assistance to Deal with
Moisture Infiltration and Mold
While your geotechnical engineer may have addressed groundwater, water infiltration, or similar issues in this report, the engineer’s services were not designed, conducted, or intended to prevent migration of moisture – including water vapor – from the soil through building slabs and walls and into the building interior, where it can cause mold growth and material-performance deficiencies.

Accordingly, proper implementation of the geotechnical engineer’s recommendations will not of itself be sufficient to prevent moisture infiltration. Confront the risk of moisture infiltration by including building-envelope or mold specialists on the design team.

Geotechnical engineers are not building-envelope or mold specialists.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City of Covina Public Storage Project –
Paleontological Resources Assessment
Environmental Science Associates (ESA) has been retained by the City of Covina (City) to conduct a paleontological resources assessment for the City of Covina of Public Storage Project (Project). This assessment identifies and evaluates the potential impacts to paleontological resources associated with the Project for the purpose of complying with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Project proposes the development of a 141,984 square foot 3-story public self-storage building within a 2.70-acre site (Project Site). The scope of work for this assessment included a geologic map review, review of the geotechnical study conducted for the Project, a paleontological resources records search through the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM), and the recommendation of mitigation measures to reduce impacts from the Project to paleontological resources to a less than significant level.

Geologic mapping and the Geotechnical Report indicate that the Project Site is underlain entirely by Quaternary alluvium. The paleontological records search conducted through the LACM indicates that no known fossils were located in the Project Site. However, significant fossils have been recovered from Pleistocene units and older Miocene marine formations near the Project Site.

The geotechnical report specifically indicates that only younger, Quaternary alluvium was penetrated at depths down to 30 feet below ground surface (bgs). Excavations associated with the Project are not anticipated go below 10 feet bgs, thus Project excavation has a low potential to encounter the geological units of high paleontological sensitivity.

Based on these results, ESA does not recommend paleontological mitigation measures.

The Project proposes the development of a 141,984 square foot (sf) 3-story public self-storage building within a 2.70-acre site (Project Site). The City is the lead agency pursuant to the CEQA.

ESA personnel involved in this assessment are as follows: Candace Ehringer, M.A., RPA Project Manager; Russell Shapiro, Ph.D., Principal Investigator and report author; Fatima Clark, B.A., report contributor; and Stephan Geissler, GIS specialist. Resumes of key personnel are included in Appendix A of this report.

Project Location
The 2.70-acre Project Site is located at 1330 East Cypress Street (Assessor Parcel Number 8427- 001-006) within the northeastern portion of the City in Los Angeles County, California (Figure 1). The Project Site is bounded by East Cypress Street to the north, the Southern Pacific Railroad to the south, and commercial uses to the east and west (Figure 2). The Project Site is situated within Section 33 of Township 1 North, Range 9 West on the San Dimas, CA U.S.

Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle (Figure 3).

Project Description
The Project Site is currently improved with an approximately 189,312 sf two-story commercial building occupied by “TT Electronics Power Solutions” which is used for electronics manufacturing. The remainder of the Project Site consists of asphalt-paved surface parking lots along the northern, eastern, and western portions of the Project Site.

The Project proposes the development of a 141,984 sf, 3-story public self-storage building (up to 30 feet, 7 inches in height). Project components would include a partial basement, a rental office, a temporary monopole cell tower, associated secured surface parking areas, pedestrian walkways, and landscaping. Project implementation would require the removal of 16 trees. Per the City’s Design Guidelines, one tree per 500 sf of landscaped area is required, resulting in 20 required trees. Ground disturbance associated with the Project will reach a maximum depth of 10 feet below ground surface (bgs).

Paleontological Resources Assessment
City of Covina Public Storage Project 5 ESA / D202100759.02 Paleontological Resources Assessment February 2022
Regulatory Framework
Paleontological resources are limited, nonrenewable resources of scientific, cultural, and educational value that are afforded protection under state laws and regulations. The following section summarizes the applicable state laws and regulations, as well as professional standards.

California Environmental Quality Act
The State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15000 et seq.), define the procedures, types of activities, individuals, and public agencies required to comply with CEQA. As part of CEQA’s Initial Study process, one of the questions that must be answered by the lead agency relates to paleontological resources: “Will the proposed project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?” (State CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G, Section VII, Part f).

The loss of a significant paleontological resources which includes any identifiable fossil that is unique, unusual, rare, uncommon, diagnostically or stratigraphically important, and/or those that add to an existing body of knowledge in specific areas – stratigraphically, taxonomically, and/or regionally, would be a significant environmental impact. Direct impacts to paleontological resources primarily concern the potential destruction of nonrenewable paleontological resources and the loss of information associated with these resources. This includes the unauthorized collection of fossil remains. If potentially fossiliferous bedrock or surficial sediments are disturbed, the disturbance could result in the destruction of paleontological resources and subsequent loss of information.

The CEQA threshold of significance for a significant impact to paleontological resources is reached when a project is determined to “directly or indirectly destroy a significant paleontological resource or unique geologic feature” (State CEQA Guidelines Appendix G, Section VII, Part f). In general, for project sites that are underlain by paleontologically sensitive geologic units, the greater the amount of ground disturbance, the higher the potential for significant impacts to paleontological resources.

California Penal Code Section 622.5
California Penal Code Section 622.5 provides the following: “Every person, not the owner thereof, who willfully injures, disfigures, defaces, or destroys any object or thing of archeological or historical interest or value, whether situated on private lands or within any public park or place, is guilty of a misdemeanor.”
California PRC Section 5097.5
California PRC Section 5097.5 provides protection for paleontological resources on public lands, where Section 5097.5(a) states, in part, that:

No person shall knowingly and willfully excavate upon, or remove, destroy, injure, or deface, any historic or prehistoric ruins, burial grounds, paleontological or vertebrate paleontological site, including fossilized footprints,

Paleontological Resources Assessment
City of Covina Public Storage Project 6 ESA / D202100759.02 Paleontological Resources Assessment February 2022
inscriptions made by human agency, rock art, or any other paleontological, paleontological or historical feature, situated on public lands, except with the express permission of the public agency having jurisdiction over the lands Los Angeles County General Plan
The City does not include any goals or policies for the protection of paleontological resources.

However, the Conservation and Natural Resources Element (the Element) of the Los Angeles County General Plan indicates that “Historic, cultural, and paleontological resources are an important part of Los Angeles County’s identity” (Los Angeles County General Plan, 2015:163).

The Element provides the following goal and policies for the treatment of historic resources:

Goal C/NR 14: Protected historic, cultural, and paleontological resources.

Policy C/NR 14.1: Mitigate all impacts from new development on or adjacent to historic, cultural, and paleontological resources to the greatest extent feasible.

Policy C/NR 14.2: Support an inter-jurisdictional collaborative system that protects and enhances historic, cultural, and paleontological resources.

Policy C/NR 14.3: Support the preservation and rehabilitation of historic buildings.

Policy C/NR 14.5: Promote public awareness of historic, cultural, and paleontological resources.

Policy C/NR 14.6: Ensure proper notification and recovery processes are carried out for development on or near historic, cultural, and paleontological resources.

Society for Vertebrate Paleontology Standard Guidelines The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) Guidelines (SVP, 2010) outline professional protocols and practices for conducting paleontological resource assessments and surveys, monitoring and mitigation, data and fossil recovery, sampling procedures, specimen preparation, identification, analysis, and curation. Most practicing professional vertebrate paleontologists adhere closely to the SVP’s assessment, mitigation, and monitoring requirements as specifically provided in its standard guidelines. Most state and local regulatory agencies accept and use the professional standards set forth by the SVP.

Paleontological Resources Significance Criteria
As defined by the SVP (2010:11), significant nonrenewable paleontological resources are:

Fossils and fossiliferous deposits, here defined as consisting of identifiable vertebrate fossils, large or small, uncommon invertebrate, plant, and trace fossils, and other data that provide taphonomic, taxonomic, phylogenetic, paleoecologic, stratigraphic, and/or biochronologic information. Paleontological resources are considered to be older than recorded human history and/or older than middle Holocene (i.e., older than about 5,000 radiocarbon years).

Paleontological Resources Assessment
City of Covina Public Storage Project 7 ESA / D202100759.02 Paleontological Resources Assessment February 2022
Numerous paleontological studies have further developed criteria for the assessment of significance for fossil discoveries (e.g., Eisenstraut and Cooper, 2002; Murphey and Daitch, 2007; Scott and Springer, 2003, etc.). In general, these studies assess fossils as significant if one or more of the following criteria apply:

1. The fossils provide information on the evolutionary relationships and developmental trends among organisms, living or extinct.

2. The fossils provide data useful in determining the age(s) of the rock unit or sedimentary stratum, including data important in determining the depositional history of the region and the timing of geologic events therein.

3. The fossils provide data regarding the development of biological communities or interaction between paleobotanical and paleozoological biotas.

4. The fossils demonstrate unusual or spectacular circumstances in the history of life.

5. The fossils are in short supply and/or in danger of being depleted or destroyed by the elements, vandalism, or commercial exploitation, and are not found in other geographic locations.

In summary, significant paleontological resources are determined to be fossils or assemblages of fossils that are unique, unusual, rare, uncommon, or diagnostically important (Eisenstraut and Cooper, 2002; Murphey and Daitch, 2007; Scott and Springer, 2003). Significant fossils can include remains of large to very small aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates or remains of plants and animals previously not represented in certain portions of the stratigraphy. Assemblages of fossils that might aid stratigraphic correlation, particularly those offering data for the interpretation of tectonic events, geomorphologic evolution, and paleoclimatology are also critically important (Scott and Springer, 2003; Scott et al., 2004).

Paleontological Potential
Paleontological potential is defined as the potential for a geologic unit to produce scientifically significant fossils. This is determined by rock type, the past history of the geologic unit in producing significant fossils, and the fossil localities recorded from that unit. Paleontological potential is derived from the known fossil data collected from the entire geologic unit and not just from one specific survey. In its “Standard Procedures for the Assessment and Mitigation of Adverse Impacts to Paleontological Resources,” the SVP (2010) defines four categories of paleontological sensitivity (potential) for rock units: high, low, undetermined, and no potential.  High Potential. Rock units from which vertebrate or significant invertebrate, plant, or trace fossils have been recovered are considered to have a high potential for containing additional significant paleontological resources. Rocks units classified as having high potential for producing paleontological resources include, but are not limited to, sedimentary formations and some volcaniclastic formations (e. g., ashes or tephras), and some low-grade metamorphic rocks which contain significant paleontological resources anywhere within their geographical extent, and sedimentary rock units temporally or lithologically suitable for the preservation of fossils (e. g., middle Holocene and older, fine-grained fluvial sandstones, argillaceous and carbonate-rich paleosols, cross-bedded point bar sandstones, fine-grained marine sandstones, etc.).

Paleontological Resources Assessment
City of Covina Public Storage Project 8 ESA / D202100759.02 Paleontological Resources Assessment February 2022
 Low Potential. Reports in the paleontological literature or field surveys by a qualified professional paleontologist may allow determination that some rock units have low potential for yielding significant fossils. Such rock units will be poorly represented by fossil specimens in institutional collections, or based on general scientific consensus only preserve fossils in rare circumstances and the presence of fossils is the exception not the rule, e. g. basalt flows or Recent colluvium. Rock units with low potential typically will not require impact mitigation measures to protect fossils.
 Undetermined Potential. Rock units for which little information is available concerning their paleontological content, geologic age, and depositional environment are considered to have undetermined potential. Further study is necessary to determine if these rock units have high or low potential to contain significant paleontological resources. A field survey by a qualified professional paleontologist to specifically determine the paleontological resource potential of these rock units is required before a paleontological resource impact mitigation program can be developed. In cases where no subsurface data are available, paleontological potential can sometimes be determined by strategically located excavations into subsurface stratigraphy.
 No Potential. Some rock units have no potential to contain significant paleontological resources, for instance high-grade metamorphic rocks (such as gneisses and schists) and plutonic igneous rocks (such as granites and diorites). Rock units with no potential require no protection nor impact mitigation measures relative to paleontological resources.

For geologic units with high potential, full-time monitoring is generally recommended during any project-related ground disturbance. For geologic units with low potential, monitoring will not generally be required. For geologic units with undetermined potential, field surveys by a qualified vertebrate paleontologist should be conducted to specifically determine the paleontological potential of the rock units present within the Project Site.

Methods
The Project Site was the subject of thorough background research and analysis to assess its paleontological sensitivity. The research included geologic map review, review of the Geotechnical Engineering Exploration and Analysis report (Geotechnical Report) prepared for the Project, and a paleontological records search conducted by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles (LACM). Given the developed and paved nature of the Project Site, a paleontological resources pedestrian survey of the Project Site was not conducted. The results of these tasks are provided in the following section.

Results
Geologic Setting
The greater Los Angeles area comprises a set of tectonically-bound basins, filled with very thick sequences of marine and terrestrial sediment (Yerkes et al., 1965). The uplifted mountain ranges surround these basins are composed of bedrock of various ages and supply the sediment to the valleys below. The rates of erosion and deposition are linked to tectonic uplift as well as climate patterns. The fossils entombed in these valley sediments likewise show the variations in climate conditions as well as depositional environments.

Paleontological Resources Assessment
City of Covina Public Storage Project 9 ESA / D202100759.02 Paleontological Resources Assessment February 2022
The Project is located in what Yerkes et al. (1965) describe as the “Northeastern Block”. This depositional basin is bounded on the north by the Sierra Madre and San Gabriel Mountains. Just south of the Project, the San Jose Hills rise as a folded anticline, dividing the valley. The Project Site itself is underlain by alluvium eroded off the San Jose Hills and also seeing the influence of erosion of the San Gabriel Mountains. Mapping by Dibblee and Minch (2002) clearly show this influence as apron of older, Pleistocene alluvium at a higher elevation around the uplifted hills with younger alluvium filling in the valley between.

Near the Project, specifically, a blanket of older alluvium (Qoa) skirts the base of the San Jose Hills and likely continues in the subsurface below the Project (Dibblee and Minch, 2002) but at a depth below the proposed excavation. The surface is covered by younger Holocene-age alluvium (Qa) as is the rest of the San Gabriel Valley (Figure 4). The San Jose Hills to the south as well as uplifts to the north expose older, Miocene-age marine sediments and volcanic rocks. The following summarizes the only geologic unit within the Project Site that could be potentially impacted by Project implementation:

Geotechnical Report Review
Giles Engineering Associates performed a geotechnical exploration and analysis of the Project in 2021 (Giles Engineering Associates, 2021). The analysis included eight truck-mounted borings down to 36.5 feet bgs. The logs showed that the geology below artificial fill extended to a depth of 6 feet bgs, followed by a consistently unlithified brown silty sand to sand, with some gravels and cobbles. None of the borings pierced a significant change in sediments, suggesting that the potentially underlying older alluvium was not reached. Therefore, this report concurs that younger alluvium occurs at depth throughout the Project Site at least to the proposed excavation depths.

LACM Records Search
On December 3, 2021, ESA commissioned a paleontological resources records search through the LACM (Appendix B). This records search entailed an examination of current geologic maps and known fossil localities inside and within the general vicinity of the Project Site. The purpose of the records search is to determine whether or not there are previously recorded paleontological resources or fossiliferous geological formations within the Project Site that require evaluation.

The results also provide a basis for assessing the sensitivity of the Project Site for additional and buried resources.

Results of the paleontological resources records search conducted by the LACM indicated that no fossil localities lie directly within the Project Site; however, 11 fossil localities (LACM IP 4723, and LACM VP 1728, 3363, 6166, 6167, 6173, 7268, 7271, and 7508)) were identified nearby from sedimentary deposits occurring near the Project Site (Table 1).

Localities LACM VP 6166, 6167, 6173 and LACM IP 4723 yielded fossil specimens of Mako shark (Isurus planus), Sturgeonfish (Prionurus), extinct bony fish (Etringus) and unspecified invertebrates within shale sediments of the Puente Formation at unknown depths. LACM VP 1728 produced fossil specimens of horse (Equus) and camel(Camelops) within Pleistocene deposits at depths between 15 and 20 feet bgs. LACM VP 7268 and 7271 yielded fossil specimens of horse (Equus) within Pleistocene deposits at unknown depths. LACM VP 7508 yielded fossil specimens of ground sloth (Nothrotheriops), elephant family (Proboscidea), and horse (Equus) within Pleistocene deposits at unknown depths. Localities LACM VP 7701 and 7702 yielded fossil specimens of fish (Gasterosteus), snake (Colubridae), rodents (Thomomys, Microtus, Reithrodontomys), and rabbit (Sylvilagus) at 30 feet bgs. LACM VP 3363 yielded a fossil specimen of horse within Pleistocene deposits at an unknown depth (Bell, 2021).

However, it should be noted that the detailed analysis of the geological map and Geotechnical Report suggests that Pleistocene alluvium, as well as the older Miocene marine units such as the Puente Formation, do not occur within the Project Site, and would not be encountered during Project implementation.

Paleontological Resources Assessment
City of Covina Public Storage Project 12 ESA / D202100759.02 Paleontological Resources Assessment February 2022
Paleontological Sensitivity Analysis
The geologic mapping and Geotechnical Report reviews, as well as the LACM records search results were used to assign paleontological sensitivity to the geologic unit at surface and underlying the Project Site, following the guidelines of the SVP (2010):

Fill Material: As indicated by the Geotechnical Report, fill material is present within the first 6 feet underlying the Project Site. It is unclear as to where the fill material came from and so assigning an age is impossible. Given the disturbed nature of the fill it is unlikely to contain intact fossiliferous deposits. Therefore, this unit is assigned No Potential to contain paleontological resources.

Qa: Underlying the fill material beyond 6 feet bgs is Holocene-age Quaternary alluvium, dating to 11,700 years ago to present. Fossil specimens have not been identified within nearby Holocene-age sediments by the LACM records search; however, SVP guidelines indicate that fossils can be as young as 5,000 years old, a time frame encompassing the age of these sediments.

While excavation into the uppermost (or more recent) layers of these Holocene deposits would not impact fossils, deep excavations into Holocene-age soils could encounter paleontological resources per the SVP’s minimum age threshold (e.g., 5,000 years) for what may constitute a fossil. Therefore, this unit is assigned a Low Potential to contain paleontological resources.

Based on the Geotechnical Report, no early Holocene or late Pleistocene alluvium was encountered. However, as the thickness of Qa has not been established, it should be assumed that Qoa underlies Qa and could be impacted by excavation activities (see below).

Conclusions and Recommendations
Project ground disturbing activities will include excavations extending to depths of 10 feet bgs.

Geotechnical testing indicates a layer of fill material extends from the surface to a depth of 6 feet bgs. Artificial fill has no paleontological potential, therefore excavations in this unit will not impact paleontological resources. The fill is underlain to a depth of 36 feet by Holocene-age Quaternary alluvium, which has low potential to contain paleontological resources. Given the low potential of the Quaternary alluvium, Project-related ground disturbance is unlikely to impact paleontological resources and no mitigation measures are recommended.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PS Southern California One, Inc., a Delaware corporation; Public Storage, a Maryland real estate investment trust, and its affiliates retained Apex Companies, LLC (Apex) to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (“ESA” or “Assessment”) for CA21222 located at 1330 East Cypress Street in Covina (Los Angeles County), California (the “subject property”). The objective of the Assessment was to provide an independent, professional opinion regarding recognized environmental conditions, as defined by ASTM, associated with the subject property. This Assessment was requested in association with Potential property transaction.

This Assessment was performed under the conditions of, and in accordance with Apex's Proposal Number 5307424776, dated May 20, 2021 and ASTM International Practice E1527-13, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. Any exceptions to, additions to, or deletions from the ASTM Practice are described in the report. Details of the work performed, sources of information, and findings are presented in the report. Limitations of the Assessment are described in Section 1.3.

The approximately 2.26-acre subject property is in a residential, commercial, and light industrial setting.

At the time of the walkthrough, the subject property was developed with two adjoining buildings in the center of the property that were occupied by TT Electronics. Building 1 (western building) and the first floor of Building 2 (eastern building) are primarily utilized for manufacturing, assembly, equipment repair, packing, shipping, and quality control of circuit boards for defense industry purposes. Equipment utilized in these processes include UV ovens/coating machines, environmental quality control chambers (e.g., heat stress and vibration chambers), a furnace, cleaning machines, and soldering machines. The second floor of Building 2 is utilized primarily for offices, storage, and an inactive laboratory. Two hazardous materials sheds, cooling towers, and a loading dock are located to the south of Building 1. Additionally, a liquid nitrogen AST and underground clarifier are located to the west of Building 1. Telecommunication antennas with associated equipment are located on the roof of Building 2. The remainder of the subject property consists of asphalt-paved parking lots and small landscaped planters. Access can be gained from East Cypress Avenue to the north.

Based on historical sources, the subject property was depicted as undeveloped land from at least 1894 in the topographic maps until sometime prior to 1928 when the property was developed agriculturally and with a residence in the northwest portion. Agricultural activities ceased and the residence was demolished circa 1964. By 1977, the westernmost building on the subject property was constructed. The easternmost building was constructed circa 1983. The configuration of the subject property has not changed since that time. Tenants of the subject property have included Perkin Elmer, EG&G Power Systems, Almond Instruments, and Excilitas Technologies. TT Electronics has occupied the subject property since June 2020.

A railroad was developed on the south adjoining property from at least 1894. At that time, the remaining adjoining properties were depicted as undeveloped in the topographic map until sometime prior to 1928 when all of the adjoining properties were developed agriculturally. A residence was developed on the east adjoining property circa 1948 and the southernmost west adjoining building was developed circa 1960.

By 1960, the existing north adjoining residences and sports field were developed. Agricultural activities ceased on the remaining adjoining properties and four buildings (commercial usage and gas station) were Phase I Environmental Site Assessment

developed on the west adjoining property circa 1964. A drycleaner has occupied the central west adjoining building since at least 1966. By 1964, the south adjoining residences were developed. An additional west adjoining commercial building and the existing east adjoining light industrial building were developed by 1972 and 1988, respectively. Between 2002 and 2009 the west adjoining gas station was demolished and the existing auto repair building was constructed.

This Assessment has revealed no evidence controlled recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject property.

The following recognized environmental conditions were identified during this Assessment:
• Historical Onsite Use of Chlorinated Solvents
• West Adjoining Drycleaner
• Tier 1 Vapor Encroachment Screen
The following historic recognized environmental condition was identified during this Assessment:
• Former West Adjoining Gas Station
Based on Apex’s review of the environmental condition of the subject property, it is recommended that soil vapor sampling be conducted onsite to assess potential contamination from the adjoining drycleaner and the past use of chlorinated solvents onsite. Due to the sensitive nature of onsite activities, sampling will likely need to be conducted around the exterior of the building.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
PS Southern California One, Inc., a Delaware corporation; Public Storage, a Maryland real estate investment trust, and its affiliates retained Apex Companies, LLC (Apex) to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (“ESA” or “Assessment”) for CA21222 located at 1330 East Cypress Street in Covina (Los Angeles County), California (the “subject property”).

1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the assessment is to follow ASTM International Practice E1527-13 (practice), which defines good commercial and customary practice in the United States of America for conducting an environmental site assessment of a parcel of commercial real estate with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products. As such, this practice is intended to permit a user to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the innocent landowner, contiguous property owner, or bona fide prospective purchaser limitation on CERCLA liability (the landowner liability protections or LLPs); that is, the practice that constitutes all appropriate inquiries into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial and customary practice as defined at 42 U.S.C. 9601(35)(B). The term recognized environmental conditions is defined as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the property: (1) due to any release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment. De minimis conditions are not recognized environmental conditions.

1.2 Methodology
This Assessment was performed under the conditions of, and in accordance with Apex's Proposal Number 5307424776, dated May 20, 2021 and ASTM International Practice E1527-13, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has determined that the ASTM E1527-13 standard is consistent with the requirements for conducting All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) and may be used to comply with the AAI regulations (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 312). The methods and terms are as defined in the ASTM standard and AAI regulations.

The Assessment included the following components:
• Review information provided by the client. This includes that information required by the Standard with respect to “User Responsibilities” as well as other information provided (e.g., Environmental Liens, Activity and Use Limitations [AULs], Specialized Knowledge). • Review selected information on general geology and topography of the subject property, local groundwater conditions, and proximity to ecologically sensitive receptors, such as streams, that might be impacted by recognized environmental conditions. • Investigate historical use of the subject property through reasonably ascertainable ASTM Standard Historical Sources for evidence of prior land use that could have led to recognized environmental conditions. These Standard Historical Sources may include: aerial photography, United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps, fire insurance maps, local street Phase I Environmental Site Assessment

directories, property tax files, building department records and zoning/land use records. Unless otherwise specified by the client/proposal this did not include a review of recorded land title records.
• Review of environmental records available from the client, property owner or site contact for evidence of recognized environmental conditions and AULs. This includes helpful documents such as regulatory agency reports, permits, registrations, previous assessments, etc. • Review a commercial database summary of ASTM Standard Federal, State, and Tribal regulatory agency records pertinent to the subject property and offsite facilities located within ASTM-specified search distances from the subject property. • Review of reasonably ascertainable Federal, State, Tribal and Local environmental agency case files for onsite facilities and adjoining properties identified in the database summary report and/or during the site reconnaissance that have the potential to adversely impact the subject property. • Regulatory agency file reviews are required for the subject property and adjoining properties if identified in the environmental database. Also, reviews of previous reports/data for sites which have received "closure" is required, to verify that the closure meets current criteria and the level of closure (commercial, residential, restricted, unrestricted). Closed sites must meet residential unrestricted criteria to be a historical recognized environmental condition (HREC). • Conduct an interview with at least one staff member of any one of the following: local fire department, local health department, local building department, or State/Local environmental agency. This individual was asked about their personal knowledge of the subject property, with the questioning directed to identifying recognized environmental conditions. For example, if the site includes a known leaking underground storage tank (LUST) incident, the State agency LUST Program Project Manager for the facility may be the person interviewed under this portion of the scope of services.
• Conduct interviews with the subject property owner (or their designated Key Site Manager) and occupants regarding current and previous uses of the subject property, particularly with respect to activities involving hazardous substances and petroleum products. Past owners, operators and occupants were also interviewed to the extent they were identified and their information was not likely to be duplicative. In cases of abandoned properties, where there is evidence of uncontrolled access, this included interviews with Owners/Occupants of one or more neighboring properties (subject to availability).
• Conduct an onsite reconnaissance of the subject property for visual evidence of recognized environmental conditions, including, but not limited to: existing or potential soil and water contamination, as evidenced by soil or pavement staining or discoloration, unnaturally stressed vegetation, or indications of waste dumping or burial; pits, ponds, or lagoons; containers of hazardous substances or petroleum products; electrical and hydraulic equipment that may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), such as electrical transformers and hydraulic hoists; underground and aboveground storage tanks (USTs and ASTs, respectively); etc. • A determination of the sources of water, power, and sewer service at the subject property. • Perform a subject property line visual reconnaissance of adjacent properties for evidence of potential offsite environmental conditions that may affect the subject property. • Evaluate information gathered during the Assessment to reach conclusions concerning recognized environmental conditions and prepare this report.

This Assessment did not include considerations of “Non-ASTM” issues (e.g., asbestos-containing building materials, radon, lead-based paint).

3.0 HISTORICAL REVIEW
The following Sections detail Apex's review of available historical and related information. This includes a review of ASTM Standard Historical Sources, Agency/Department records/personnel interviews and other documents. The historical summary also incorporates information obtained from interviews and other components of the Assessment process.

3.1 Summary of Historical Review
The historical research presented in this Assessment has established the obvious uses of the subject property since 1894. In addition, information on historic uses of adjoining properties was also obtained.

A chronological summary of the historic use of the subject and adjoining/nearby properties is presented below. Please refer to the Exceptions & Limiting Conditions Section for a summary of significant data gaps (if any).

Based on historical sources, the subject property was depicted as undeveloped land from at least 1894 in the topographic maps until sometime prior to 1928 when the property was developed agriculturally and with a residence in the northwest portion. Agricultural activities ceased and the residence was demolished circa 1964. By 1977, the westernmost building on the subject property was constructed. The easternmost building was constructed circa 1983. The configuration of the subject property has not changed since that time. Tenants of the subject property have included Perkin Elmer, EG&G Power Systems, Almond Instruments, and Excilitas Technologies. TT Electronics has occupied the subject property since June 2020.

A railroad was developed on the south adjoining property from at least 1894. At that time, the remaining adjoining properties were depicted as undeveloped in the topographic map until sometime prior to 1928 when all of the adjoining properties were developed agriculturally. A residence was developed on the east adjoining property circa 1948 and the southernmost west adjoining building was developed circa 1960.

By 1960, the existing north adjoining residences and sports field were developed. Agricultural activities ceased on the remaining adjoining properties and four buildings (commercial usage and gas station) were developed on the west adjoining property circa 1964. A drycleaner has occupied the central west adjoining building since at least 1966. By 1964, the south adjoining residences were developed. An additional west adjoining commercial building and the existing east adjoining light industrial building were developed by 1972 and 1988, respectively. Between 2002 and 2009 the west adjoining gas station was demolished and the existing auto repair building was constructed.

3.2 Aerial Photographs
Aerial photographs, including the subject and adjoining properties, were obtained from ERIS - Environmental Risk Information Services for the years 1928 to 2020. Aerial photographs are summarized as follows:

3.8 PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS
Apex made requests to the client and the current property owner/site contact regarding the presence of previous environmental reports or other relevant documents for the subject property (e.g., previous Phase I or Phase II ESA, geotechnical report, MSDS, etc.).

The following previous environmental reports or other relevant documents were available for review during this Assessment:

Draft Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Excelitas Technologies Corporation, 1330 East Cypress Street, Covina, California; dated August 19, 2019; prepared by ERM; prepared for TT Electronics.

At the time of this Assessment, the subject property was developed with two buildings occupied by Excelitas Technologies on 2.26 acres of land. Excelitas Technologies utilizes the property for the design, development, and manufacture photonic components, modules, and systems for the defense industry.

Operations generally include of mechanical and electrical assembly of metal components. Soldering and minor painting operations occur onsite within a designated spray booth. Two hazardous waste/material storage sheds are located to the south of the buildings. Hazardous materials onsite included paint, various gases, isopropanol alcohol, acetone, chemical wipes, metal clippings, and lead solder. Additionally, two resin beds were located to the west of the buildings to deionize meniscal water for the aqueous cleaning operations. No USTs or other inground equipment were noted during the site reconnaissance with the exception of a clarifier utilized for wastewater.

Based on historical sources, the subject property was originally developed for agricultural purposes with small residential and/or farm-related structures by at least 1928. By 1964, the property had been cleared and by 1977 one of the onsite buildings was constructed. The remaining building was constructed circa 1983. Tenants onsite have generally utilized the property for light industrial purposes; however, former operations onsite have included degreasing operations using chlorinated solvents (late 1970s-early 1990s) and magnetic coating operations (ceased in 2014). Limited information was available regarding degreasing operations; however, the onsite contact indicated that the reported quantity of historic chlorinated solvents remained below 55-gallons at a time. Magnetic coating operations were conducted under a hood to ensure proper ventilation; however, VOCs were likely emitted into the air.

No evidence of a recognized environmental condition was identified during this assessment; however, de minimis staining was noted on the epoxy-coated concrete floors in the hazardous materials shed. The historic operations at the property, possible asbestos-containing materials and polychlorinated biphenyls onsite due to the age of the buildings, and the west adjoining property (utilized as a gas station, auto repair, and drycleaners currently and historically) were considered "Other Potential Issues"; however, no recommendations were given.

6.0 STANDARD ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS SOURCES: FEDERAL, STATE,

AND TRIBAL
Available government database information prepared by ERIS - Environmental Risk Information Services was reviewed to evaluate both the subject property and listed sites within ASTM-recommended search distances. This included ASTM Standard Federal, State, and Tribal databases and may also include other types of records, subject to availability (e.g., local lists).

The regulatory database report also included an Unmappable Sites Section. Unmappable sites are sites that cannot be plotted with confidence, but can be located by zip code or city name. In general, a site cannot be geocoded due to inaccurate or missing information in the environmental database record provided by its applicable agency. Unmappable sites that were identified by Apex are included, as applicable, within the following paragraphs.

The subject property was identified in the RCRA TSD, RCRA SQG, FINDS/FRS, LA HMS, Haznet, Hist Manifest, Emissions, LA County CUPA, TRIS, RCRA NonGen, and CERS Haz databases reviewed as Excelitas Technologies Corp, EG&G Power Systems, EG&G Almond Instruments, Perkin Elmer, T-Mobile West, and TT Electronics Power Solutions. The subject property was identified in the FINDS/ FRS database as having an industrial storm water permit, being a hazardous waste generator, and being a hazardous air pollutant. The Cers Haz database indicated that several violations are on file for the subject property between 2000 and 2018. Violations have included inaccurate hazardous material inventory, failure to submit notification for onsite waste treatment, inaccurate CUPA submittal, and failure to maintain hazardous waste manifests. All violations were returned to compliance and were generally involving administrative matters.

According to the Haznet and Hist Manifest databases, the subject property has disposed of various amounts of aqueous solution with total organic residues less than 10 percent, off-specification/aged/ surplus inorganics, metal sludge, other inorganic solid waste, halogenated solvents, oxygenated solvents, unspecified solvent mixture, waste/mixed oil, unspecified oil-containing waste, polychlorinated biphenyls and material containing PCBs, polymeric resin waste, latex waste, unspecified organic liquid mixture, laboratory waste chemicals, empty containers less than 30 gallons, liquids with mercury, liquids with halogenated organic compounds, acidic liquids, other organic solids, and unspecified aqueous solution between 1982 and 2015. No further violations or evidence of a release were identified at the subject property.

A total of 62 listed sites and zero unmappable sites were identified in the databases reviewed.

The database information reviewed did indicate the presence of adjoining and/or nearby facilities within ASTM-recommended search distances of the subject property. However, it is Apex's opinion these facilities do not represent a significant threat of impact to the subject property. This opinion is supported by one or more of the following: intervening distance and/or orientation relative to the subject property; surface topography; known or suspected groundwater flow direction; regulatory status (e.g., only hold an operating permit [which does not imply a release], have been issued “No Further Action” status by the appropriate regulatory agency); and/or other available information. Accordingly, based on available information, it is Apex's opinion these facilities do not represent a recognized environmental condition, as defined by ASTM, with respect to the subject property.

The following site was evaluated in greater detail:
• 76 Products Station #5012/Union Oil Service Station/Covina Auto Repair & Service, located at 856 Glendora Avenue, is the west adjoining downgradient property. The site was identified in the LUST, LA HMS, HHSS, Haznet, FINDS/FRS, Hist Tank, LA County CUPA, and UST Sweeps databases reviewed. The site formerly operated as a gas station with two gasoline and one waste oil USTs with an industrial waste permit. All USTs were installed in 1963 and were of single-walled carbon steel construction. A release was discovered during the removal of the USTs on March 16, 1990 and affected soil only. The incident received closure as of June 18, 1991. No further information was identified regarding the UST incident. This site is currently operating as an auto repair facility. Since this site immediately adjoins the subject property and closure was received, this is considered a historic recognized environmental condition.

7.0 TIER 1 VAPOR ENCROACHMENT SCREEN (VES)
Apex conducted a Tier 1 VES during the Phase I ESA. The VES was conducted in accordance with ASTM E2600-15, Standard Guide for Vapor Encroachment Screening on Property Involved in Real Estate Transactions. The methods and terms are as defined in the ASTM standard.

The goal of a VES is to identify a vapor encroachment condition (VEC) at a subject property. A VEC is defined as the presence or likely presence of chemicals of concern (COC) vapors in the subsurface of a subject property caused by the release of vapors from contaminated soil or groundwater either on or near the subject property.

Information was obtained with respect to the following: planned additional structures; and significant natural or man-made “preferential pathways” of potential vapor migration. This information is summarized below:
• No information was provided on plans for the construction of additional buildings. The planned use for the subject property is development as a self storage facility. • The subject property is connected with several types of utilities, each of which has underground utility conduits.
• Based on available information soil was found to be Urban land-Palmview-Tujunga complex, 0 to 5 percent slopes and groundwater was found to be greater than 50 feet bgs.

7.1 Tier 1 Screen Evaluation
An evaluation of that information includes two tests: 1) a search distance test to evaluate the proximity of the target property to known or suspected “contaminated properties”, and 2) a chemicals of concern test to determine the likely presence of COCs at the subject or properties within the area of concern (AOC).

In evaluating the data, the distance and proximity to potentially contaminated offsite properties must be evaluated, including whether they are up-, cross-, or down-gradient relative to the subject property. A brief summary of relevant information considered for the Tier 1 screening follows:

8.1 Unavailable Documentation
Requested documentation regarding the subject property was made available for review.

8.2 Lack of Access / Reconnaissance Limitations
Apex did not encounter significant access or reconnaissance limitations at the subject property; however, it should be noted that photographs were not allowed to be taken in the production area due to the sensitive nature of the work (defensive industry).

8.3 Data Gaps
The ASTM Standard requires that the report identify the following: 1) obvious uses of the subject property since 1940 or first development, whichever is earlier; and 2) significant “data gaps” which affect the ability of the Environmental Professional to identify recognized environmental conditions. The report is also to include information on the sources consulted to address the data gaps.

Historical subject property ownership and/or use information was obtained for the time period 1894 to present. Based on this information, Apex has established the history of obvious uses of the subject property since 1940 or first development, whichever is earlier. No significant data gaps (or other data gaps warranting discussion) were encountered during this Assessment, except the following:

9.0 FINDINGS AND OPINIONS
This section presents a summary of available information on known or suspected recognized environmental conditions, historical recognized environmental conditions and de minimis conditions (if any) at the subject property. It also includes Apex's opinion and rationale for concluding that a condition is, or is not, currently a recognized environmental condition. Based on a review of the information presented in this Assessment, Apex presents the following relevant findings and opinions:
• Historical Onsite Use of Chlorinated Solvents - Tenants onsite have generally utilized the property for light industrial purposes; however, former operations on the subject property have included degreasing operations using chlorinated solvents (late 1970s-early 1990s). Limited information was available regarding degreasing operations; however, the 2019 Phase I ESA indicated that the reported quantity of historic chlorinated solvents remained below 55-gallons at a time. Approximate locations of degreasing operations were indicated in the 2019 Phase I ESA; however, the site contact during Apex's Phase I ESA was not able to confirm these locations.

All approximate locations were located within the production area. No indication of floor drains, trenches, or pits were observed within this area during the site reconnaissance. Additionally, de minimis staining was noted on the epoxy-coated concrete floors in the hazardous materials shed during the 2019 Phase I ESA. No staining was observed during Apex's site reconnaissance. The former usage of chlorinated solvents onsite is considered a recognized environmental condition. • West Adjoining Drycleaner - Speedy Drycleaners is currently located in the central building on the west adjoining property. A drycleaner has been located in that tenant space since at least 1966 based on city directory listing. The drycleaner was not identified in the database review.

There is a possibility that chlorinated solvents could have and/or are currently being utilized onsite in the drycleaning process. Based on this usage and the close vicinity to the subject property, this is considered a recognized environmental condition.
• Former West Adjoining Gas Station - 76 Products Station #5012/Union Oil Service Station/ Covina Auto Repair & Service, located at 856 Glendora Avenue, is the west adjoining downgradient property. The site was identified in the LUST, LA HMS, HHSS, Haznet, FINDS/ FRS, Hist Tank, LA County CUPA, and UST Sweeps databases reviewed. The site formerly operated as a gas station with two gasoline and one waste oil USTs with an industrial waste permit. All USTs were installed in 1963 and were of single-walled carbon steel construction. A release was discovered during the removal of the USTs on March 16, 1990 and affected soil only. The incident received closure as of June 18, 1991. No further information was identified regarding the UST incident. This site is currently operating as an auto repair facility. Since this site immediately adjoins the subject property and closure was received, this is considered a historic recognized environmental condition.
• Former Agricultural Use - Based on the review of historical aerial photographs, the subject property was observed in agricultural use historically. Given this usage, it is possible that pesticides and/or herbicides were once used onsite and residual amounts may remain. Based on Apex's experience in sampling soils for residual pesticides and/or fertilizers that have been applied in conjunction with normal agricultural activities and the length of time since agricultural activity occurred onsite, the likelihood that residual chemicals will be found above cleanup levels Phase I Environmental Site Assessment

Public Storage

is low. Based on this evaluation, it is Apex's opinion that the potential past use of pesticides and/ or fertilizers does not present a recognized environmental condition to the subject property. • Tier 1 Vapor Encroachment Screen – Apex has conducted a Tier 1 Vapor Encroachment Screen, in accordance with ASTM Standard E2600-15. The nature of former site conditions and offsite properties of potential environmental concern were noted in the databases or other information reviewed, and based on the VES, Apex believes that a vapor encroachment condition does exist due to the past uses of chlorinated solvents onsite and the west adjoining drycleaner. This VEC does represent a recognized environmental condition to the subject property.

10.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Apex has performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E1527-13 of CA21222 located at 1330 East Cypress Street in Covina, California (the “subject property”). Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of this report.

This Assessment has revealed no evidence controlled recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject property.

The following recognized environmental conditions were identified during this Assessment:
• Historical Onsite Use of Chlorinated Solvents
• West Adjoining Drycleaner
• Tier 1 Vapor Encroachment Screen
The following historic recognized environmental condition was identified during this Assessment:
• Former West Adjoining Gas Station
Based on Apex’s review of the environmental condition of the subject property, it is recommended that soil vapor sampling be conducted onsite to assess potential contamination from the adjoining drycleaner and the past use of chlorinated solvents onsite. Due to the sensitive nature of onsite activities, sampling will likely need to be conducted around the exterior of the building.

present operations at the installation had involved in use, storage, treatment, spillage, leakage, and disposal of materials and/or wastes that are now considered hazardous. These materials and wastes were used in a variety of aircraft and vehicle maintenance, fuel storage, landfilling, aircraft-washing, and other facility activities and operations. Based on this information, potential areas of concern at the installation requiring site investigation activities were identified. The Preliminary Assessment was conducted using guidelines developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Waste Management Division, Region IX and California Department of Toxic Substances (DTSC).

The SI included twelve potential areas of concern identified in the Preliminary Assessment. The areas included two landfills, a flight line area, revetments, fuel tank farms, former rifle ranges, clarifiers, munitions bunkers, agricultural areas and a wastewater treatment plant. Investigation included the collection of air, surface water, groundwater, soil and soil vapor samples to assess the presence of various contaminants that were identified in the previous assessments. Ms.

Gillespie was an integral member of the team in the evaluation of data collected during the SI and generation of the remedial investigation work plan, health and safety plan, quality assurance project plan, and field sampling plan.

Original Effective Date: 5/11/2017
Current Version Date: 5/11/2017 WIRE0016 (DSI Rev. 12/07/17) TM and © Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and/or an affiliate. All rights reserved Wire Fraud Alert
This Notice is not intended to provide legal or professional advice. If you have any questions, please consult with a lawyer.

All parties to a real estate transaction are targets for wire fraud and many have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because they simply relied on the wire instructions received via email, without further verification. If funds are to be wired in conjunction with this real estate transaction, we strongly recommend verbal verification of wire instructions through a known, trusted phone number prior to sending funds.

In addition, the following non‐exclusive self‐protection strategies are recommended to minimize exposure to possible wire fraud.
 NEVER RELY on emails purporting to change wire instructions. Parties to a transaction rarely change wire instructions in the course of a transaction.
 ALWAYS VERIFY wire instructions, specifically the ABA routing number and account number, by calling the party who sent the instructions to you. DO NOT use the phone number provided in the email containing the instructions, use phone numbers you have called before or can otherwise verify. Obtain the phone number of relevant parties to the transaction as soon as an escrow account is opened. DO NOT send an email to verify as the email address may be incorrect or the email may be intercepted by the fraudster.  USE COMPLEX EMAIL PASSWORDS that employ a combination of mixed case, numbers, and symbols. Make your passwords greater than eight (8) characters. Also, change your password often and do NOT reuse the same password for other online accounts.
 USE MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION for email accounts. Your email provider or IT staff may have specific instructions on how to implement this feature.
