Task 4 Geotechnical
Our subconsultant, BAJADA will assist with the geotechnical work for the following scope.
Pre-Exploration
Prior to subsurface exploration, BAJADA will mark proposed drill hole locations and will contact Underground Service Alert (USA) to assist in identifying potential buried utility conflicts.
BAJADA will obtain necessary drilling permits from Mendocino County Environmental Health. Because the reservoirs and improvements potentially cover multiple parcels and a permit is required for each parcel explored, we have assumed that exploration will occur on three parcels.
The project site is moderately to heavily wooded and vegetated. Few roads project through the study area. We have assumed that access to exploration locations will need to be established and have included two days of equipment time to establish that access.
Subsurface Exploration
We propose exploring the site using exploratory drill holes. Locations of those drill holes cannot be identified until the siting of the proposed reservoirs, caretaker’s unit, and storage building have been identified.
Drilling will be performed using a track-mounted drill rig as follows:
PROPOSED DRILLING SCHEDULE
Location Number of Drill
Holes
Maximum Drill
Hole Depths Drilling Method
Reservoir Sites 3 (per reservoir) 35 to 50 Rotary-wash
Associated Pipeline Alignment(s)1 4 10 to 15 Hollow- or solid-stem Caretaker’s Unit 2 25 Hollow- or solid-stem
Shop Building 2 25 Hollow- or solid-stem
Parking Lot 2 5 Hollow- or solid-stem
Sampling will be performed at about 5-foot depth increments using a California modified split spoon (CM) or Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampler. Rock is not anticipated to be encountered during drilling. CM and SPT samplers will be driven using a 140-pound auto trip hammer in accordance with standard test method ASTM D1586-11. SPT samples will be collected in sample bags, labeled, and transported to our laboratory for testing.
California modified split-spoon samples will be collected in 2.5-inch diameter by 6-inch-long brass or stainlesssteel sleeves. Those sleeves will be capped, labeled, and transported to our office for assignment of laboratory testing.
BAJADA personnel will log the soils exposed in the explorations, and will obtain samples for visual examination, classification, and laboratory testing. Logging of soils will be performed using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). We will estimate exploration locations using a compass and tape measure from known geographic control points on the property and using a handheld Global Position System (GPS) receiver. All drill holes will be backfilled to the ground surface with cement grout. Cuttings from drilling operations will be dispersed on site.
Laboratory Testing
Soil samples will be delivered to a laboratory for testing. It is anticipated that the following laboratory tests will be performed during this study:

The actual types and numbers of tests that will be performed will be determined after the field exploration has been performed.
Geotechnical Analysis
Upon completion of the above-noted tasks, we will perform geotechnical evaluations for the project. Those evaluations will include the following:
▪ Geologic hazards that could impact the project.
▪ Subsurface soil profiles at the reservoir sites.
▪ Depth to groundwater, where encountered.
▪ Excavatability of the on-site soils.
▪ Estimate of shear wave velocity (Vs30) based on encountered soil types and consistencies. ▪ Slope stability of proposed internal and external reservoir slopes under static and dynamic (earthquake) loading conditions.
▪ Liquefaction potential.
▪ Anticipated total and differential settlement values beneath the proposed caretaker’s unit and storage building.
▪ Static and dynamic lateral earth pressures for buried structures. ▪ Modulus of soil reaction (E’) values for earth materials composing the pipeline trench sidewalls and backfill materials.
▪ Evaluation of potential for expansive soil influence on foundations and improvements. ▪ Evaluation of potential for site soils to be corrosive to buried concrete and steel. ▪ Allowable bearing capacities, friction coefficients, passive pressures, etc. ▪ 2022 CBC seismic design parameters; and
▪ Structural pavement sections for the proposed parking lot.
Slope stability evaluations will be performed using the computer program SLIDE2 developed by Rocscience.
Geotechnical Reporting
Results of the field investigation, laboratory tests, and engineering analyses will be summarized and concluded in a geotechnical report specific. That report that will contain, at a minimum, the following:
▪ A description of the proposed project including a site plan showing the approximate location of the explorations advanced for this study.

✓ Site grading and drainage, including compaction criteria and potential reuse of onsite soils as select backfill materials. ✓ Cut and fill slope inclinations.
✓ Allowable bearing capacities for structure foundations. ✓ Allowable passive pressures for foundations, thrust blocks, and piers. ✓ Lateral earth pressures (active, at-rest, and passive) under static and dynamic conditions for buried structures.
✓ Coefficients of friction for soil materials.
✓ Recommendations for pipeline backfill and compaction; and ✓ Recommendations for temporary excavations and shoring. ▪ An appendix presenting a summary of the field investigation including exploration logs denoting sampling intervals and laboratory test results.
▪ An appendix presenting the results of our laboratory testing.
Optional Task - Groundwater Monitoring (not currently included) This optional task that could be added consists of the construction of a monitoring well within each proposed reservoir so that the depth of groundwater can be recorded over time. Shallow groundwater is known to be present in the project area at depths that could influence construction of the project. It is anticipated that this information is important to project design and that contractors could utilize those data in preparing their bids for the project. In addition, the monitoring and reporting of groundwater depths can help reduce the potential for changed conditions construction claims.
Permits will be obtained for constructing the monitoring wells. The proposed monitoring wells will be constructed using 2-inch-diameter slotted and solid PVC pipe for the entire depth of the three drill holes. The wells will be protected using a locking stovepipe type well protector. A HOBO groundwater datalogger will be inserted into each of the wells to monitor groundwater depths at regularly programmed time intervals. Those data will be downloaded after one year of logging and reported in a technical memorandum.
Task 5 Environmental/CEQA Compliance Coordination
The Water Works team will coordinate with the City and environmental consultant on the CEQA compliance work being completed as part of a separate City project.
