temporary, and operational emissions would remain below the worst-case emissions modeled in the certified EIR. The Project would be consistent with applicable GHG reduction strategies and would not conflict with the implementation of the CARB Scoping Plan or the City of Lake Elsinore CAP. No substantial changes to the Project, no changes in circumstances, and no new information of substantial importance have been identified that would trigger the need for a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Therefore, the findings of the certified EIR remain valid and applicable, and no further CEQA documentation is required for greenhouse gas emissions.
4.7 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
Certified EIR Summary. The certified EIR evaluated construction and operational impacts to hydrology and water quality associated with the development of the 17.66-acre Walmart Supercenter site and concluded that all impacts would be less than significant with regulatory compliance. During construction, the Project would be subject to the NPDES Construction General Permit and the City’s drainage permit requirements. A project-specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) would be prepared to identify erosion and sediment control BMPs, such as fiber rolls, vegetated buffers, scheduling, sandbags, and interim drainage measures. These measures would ensure that soil erosion, sedimentation, and pollutant discharge during construction are minimized. For long-term operation, the certified EIR evaluated the site’s permanent drainage design, including its Low Impact Development (LID) features and its Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) prepared in accordance with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. LID components such as bio-retention swales, vegetated strips, and permeable surfaces were incorporated to facilitate infiltration and pollutant filtration. Operational stormwater runoff would be conveyed to these on-site BMPs for treatment prior to discharge to the public storm drain system. Hydrology modeling indicated that post-development peak runoff from the site during a 100-year storm event would increase from 36 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 64.07 cfs. To manage this increase, the project included an on-site detention basin designed to store and meter flows into a 30- inch storm drain at the Crane Street/Dexter Avenue intersection. The system complied with Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District standards and was sized to avoid downstream flooding. An alternative off-site storm drain system was also analyzed for upstream pass-through flows, which would not increase net runoff but would be routed through the site for controlled discharge. Typical urban pollutants, such as oil, grease, trash, and landscape chemicals, were identified as potential water quality concerns. However, the certified EIR concluded that compliance with MS4 Permit requirements and WQMP implementation would ensure these impacts remain less than significant. No mitigation measures were required.
Certified EIR Mitigation Measures
None required.
Proposed Project. The proposed Project would develop a fuel station with 16 fueling positions and a 1,618-square-foot convenience store on an approximately 1.10-acre portion of the Walmart Supercenter site, currently developed as impervious parking. The site lies within existing Drainage Management Areas (DMAs) 2, 5, 7, and 9B, as defined in the previously approved site-wide WQMP. A WQMP Addendum was prepared for the proposed Project in April 2025 (Appendix B), which analyzed drainage modifications and pollutant control requirements associated with the fuel station. The addendum concluded that drainage patterns would remain consistent with the original WQMP and proposed only minor adjustments to DMA boundaries. Runoff from the fueling area would be directed to a new oil-water separator for pretreatment before discharging to existing on-site BMPs. The Project would result in a net increase of approximately 3,391 square feet of impervious area. However, the effective impervious area fractions for CEQA Consistency Analysis
Wal-Mart 2077 Fuel Station Project City of Lake Elsinore
most DMAs would remain unchanged or be reduced through landscape enhancements. The updated design would result in a post-project peak flow rate of 2.4 cfs, which remains below the previously approved peak design flow of 2.58 cfs, confirming that downstream capacity would not be exceeded. The proposed Project would continue to comply with the City’s MS4 permit, NPDES Construction General Permit, and Final WQMP requirements. Site design, source control, and treatment control BMPs, supplemented by an oil-water separator, would ensure protection of water quality during both construction and long-term operations.
Conclusion. The proposed Project would not result in new or more severe impacts related to hydrology or water quality than those previously evaluated in the certified EIR. The site is already developed and includes existing drainage infrastructure and treatment BMPs. The proposed improvements would maintain or improve stormwater management performance, remain within previously analyzed flow thresholds, and include additional pollutant controls specific to fueling activities. No substantial changes to the Project or its environmental setting, and no new information of substantial importance, have been identified that would trigger the need for a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Therefore, the findings of the certified EIR remain valid and applicable, and no further CEQA documentation is required for hydrology and water quality.
4.8 LAND USE AND PLANNING
Certified EIR Summary. The 17.66-acre Walmart Supercenter site would result in less than significant impacts related to land use and planning. The Initial Study/Notice of Preparation (IS/NOP) determined that the Project would not physically divide an established community. The site was already designated and zoned for General Commercial development and did not contain residential uses. While nearby residential neighborhoods exist, they are separated from the site by public roadways or undeveloped land and have no direct physical or community-based connection to the Project. As such, the certified EIR determined that the Project would not result in land use fragmentation or community disruption. The certified EIR also evaluated the Project’s consistency with the City of Lake Elsinore General Plan, including a policy-level analysis of General Plan goals related to land use compatibility, economic development, infrastructure, urban design, and environmental stewardship. The Walmart Supercenter Project was found to be consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial and did not conflict with applicable policies or implementation programs. The site is zoned General Commercial (C-2) and Commercial Mixed Use (CMU). The certified EIR confirmed that the proposed uses— including a large retail anchor, fast-food outparcels, and a potential gas station—are either permitted or conditionally permitted under the City’s Zoning Code. The Project underwent Conditional Use Permit and Design Review processes, and its site planning, architectural design, and signage were determined to comply with applicable development standards. Accordingly, impacts related to zoning consistency were determined to be less than significant. Finally, the certified EIR evaluated consistency with the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). Although the site is within the Elsinore Area Plan, it is not located within a designated Criteria Cell. Implementation of standard BMPs required under Appendix C of the MSHCP, incorporated into the Project as MM BIO-1, was determined to avoid conflicts with conservation goals. Impacts related to habitat conservation plan consistency were found to be less than significant.
Certified EIR Mitigation Measures
MM BIO-1 (see Section 4.3, Biological Resources)
Proposed Project. The proposed Project involves the development of a fuel station and a 1,618-squarefoot convenience store on approximately 1.10 acres of the previously analyzed Walmart Supercenter site.
CEQA Consistency Analysis
Wal-Mart 2077 Fuel Station Project City of Lake Elsinore
The project site is fully paved and developed as surface parking and is physically separated from residential neighborhoods by Central Avenue and other parcels. No residential uses are located on or immediately adjacent to the site, and the proposed Project would not divide an established community or disrupt existing neighborhood connectivity. The project site would remain designated General Commercial under the City’s General Plan and zoned C-2 (General Commercial). Fuel stations and convenience stores are conditionally permitted uses within this zone, and the applicant has submitted a CUP and Design Review application to the City. The proposed Project would be subject to City review for consistency with applicable design standards, development regulations, and land use compatibility criteria. As with the larger Walmart Supercenter site, the project site lies within the MSHCP Plan Area but is not located within a Criteria Cell. Although the certified EIR identified implementation of MSHCP BMPs under MM BIO-1 to ensure consistency with the MSHCP, the current project site is already fully developed with impervious surface. Therefore, MHSCP BMPs identified in MM BIO-1 are not applicable for the proposed fuel station.
Therefore, MM BIO-1 is not required for this development. Accordingly, the proposed Project would not conflict with the conservation goals or implementation requirements of the MSHCP, and impacts related to habitat conservation plan consistency would remain less than significant.
Conclusion. The proposed Project would not result in new or more severe land use impacts than those previously evaluated in the certified EIR. The site remains consistent with its General Plan designation and zoning, and the proposed use is conditionally permitted, subject to Design Review and CUP approval. The Project would not divide an established community or conflict with applicable land use policies. Although the project site is located within the Western Riverside MSHCP, it is fully developed and not within a designated Criteria Cell. Therefore, the proposed Project would not conflict with the MSHCP or require implementation of the previously identified BMPs. No substantial changes to the Project, no changes in circumstances, and no new information of substantial importance have been identified that would trigger the need for a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Therefore, the findings of the certified EIR remain valid and applicable, and no further CEQA documentation is required for land use and planning.
4.9 NOISE
Certified EIR Summary. The certified EIR concluded that construction of the Walmart Supercenter Project would result in significant and unavoidable short-term noise impacts due to mobile construction equipment operating near single-family residences for extended periods of time. Although the implementation of MM NOI-1 and MM NOI-2 would reduce noise exposure, maximum construction noise levels were still expected to exceed the City’s 60 dBA Lmax standard for sensitive receptors during construction activities lasting more than 10 days. Therefore, construction noise was considered significant and unavoidable. Other potential noise impacts, including groundborne vibration, operational noise, offsite traffic noise increases, and ambient noise levels, were determined to be less than significant. The certified EIR found that equipment vibration levels would not exceed applicable thresholds, and operational noise from the Walmart Supercenter and associated uses would comply with City standards.
Project-related increases in traffic noise along local roadways would not exceed Federal Interagency Committee on Noise (FICON) criteria and off-site noise effects were considered minor. Therefore, no significant long-term noise impacts were identified beyond construction.
Certified EIR Mitigation Measures
MM NOI-1 The following practices shall be implemented by the project applicant during construction activities:
CEQA Consistency Analysis
Wal-Mart 2077 Fuel Station Project City of Lake Elsinore
• Prior to approval of grading plans and/or issuance of building permits, plans shall include a note indicating that noise-generating project construction activities shall only occur between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM on weekdays. Construction is prohibited on weekends and holidays. The project construction supervisor shall ensure compliance with the note and the City shall conduct periodic inspection at its discretion.
• Prior to the start of construction, install temporary noise control barriers that provide a minimum noise level attenuation of 10.0 dBA when project construction occurs near existing noise-sensitive structures. The noise control barrier must present a solid face from top to bottom. The noise control barrier must designed to block the view of the noise source.
• Any damage to noise barriers must be repaired within 48 hours. Gaps or holes in the barrier or openings between the barrier and the ground shall be repaired within 48 hours. The noise control barriers and associated elements shall be completely removed and the site restored upon the conclusion of the construction activity. • During all project site construction, the construction contractors shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with mufflers operated and maintained consistent with manufacturers standards. The construction contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from the noise-sensitive receivers nearest the project site.
• The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will create a minimum distance of 100 feet between construction-related noise sources and noisesensitive receivers nearest the project site (i.e., the center of the site) during all project construction.
• The construction contractor shall limit haul truck deliveries to the same hours specified for construction equipment (between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. on weekdays. Construction is prohibited on weekends and holidays). The haul route exhibit shall design delivery routes to minimize the exposure of sensitive land uses or residential dwellings to delivery truck-related noise.
MM NOI-2 The following practices shall be adopted as Conditions of Approval prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed project:
• All trucks, tractors, and forklifts shall be operated with proper operating and well maintained mufflers, consistent with manufacturer’s specifications. • Maintain pavement conditions that are free of bumps to minimize truck noise. • The truck access gates and loading docks within the truck court on the project site shall be posted with signs which state:
o Truck drivers shall turn off engines when not in use. o Diesel trucks servicing the Project shall not idle for more than five (5) minutes. o Post telephone numbers of the building facilities manager to report violations.
CEQA Consistency Analysis
Wal-Mart 2077 Fuel Station Project City of Lake Elsinore
Proposed Project. The proposed Project would involve the development of a fuel station with 16 fueling positions and a 1,618-square-foot convenience store on approximately 1.10 acres of the Walmart Supercenter site. The site is currently paved and functions as surface parking. The nearest residential receptors are located more than 150 feet to the east, separated by intervening commercial uses and roadways. Construction activities would involve minor pavement removal, utility trenching, and smallscale vertical construction, with no pile driving, blasting, or mass grading. As such, construction noise levels would be lower, and implementation of MM NOI-1 would ensure compliance with the City’s noise standards. Although the certified EIR conservatively determined that construction noise would be significant and unavoidable, the reduced scale and shorter duration of the proposed Project suggest that construction noise could remain below threshold levels. Nonetheless, conservative application of certified mitigation measures remains appropriate. Operational noise sources would include vehicle circulation, fuel dispensing, HVAC units, and accessory equipment (e.g., air/vacuum stations). No drive-through speakers, car wash equipment, or other stationary sources emitting high noise levels are proposed. All operational noise would be required to comply with City regulations and would be lessintensive than the previously analyzed Option B development scenario, which included multiple fast-food restaurant pads.
As a result, operational noise impacts would remain less than significant. Regarding off-site traffic noise, the certified EIR determined that full buildout under Option B would result in maximum increases of 3.0 dBA CNEL, which is below the 5.0 dBA significance threshold identified in FICON guidance. The proposed Project adds only 1,618 square feet of new commercial development and remains within the 16,000- square-foot cap analyzed under Option B. As such, traffic volumes and associated noise levels would be lower than those previously evaluated, and no new or more severe off-site traffic noise impacts would occur. The Project would also not result in groundborne vibration or noise from heavy-duty stationary sources. No pile driving, rock crushing, or other high-impact activities are proposed, and all equipment would comply with City requirements.
Conclusion. The proposed Project would not result in new or more severe noise impacts than those previously evaluated in the certified EIR. Construction activities would be smaller in scale and duration, and operational noise levels would be lower than those analyzed under the previously approved development scenarios. The Project would comply with applicable City noise regulations and implement previously adopted mitigation measures, including MM NOI-1 and MM NOI-2. No substantial changes to the Project, no changes in circumstances, and no new information of substantial importance have been identified that would trigger the need for a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Therefore, the findings of the certified EIR remain valid and applicable, and no further CEQA documentation is required for noise.
4.10 PUBLIC SERVICES
Certified EIR Summary. The certified EIR determined that development of the 17.66-acre Walmart Supercenter site would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or expanded public facilities, including fire protection, police protection, schools, parks, or other public facilities. Fire protection services would be provided by Riverside County Fire Department Station No. 97, located approximately 0.75 mile northeast of the site, and Station No. 10, located approximately
2.8 miles south of the site. Both facilities are within a five-minute response time, and the City’s General Plan EIR confirmed that no new stations or additional staffing would be needed to serve development within the 3rd Street Annexation Area, which includes the Walmart Supercenter site. Station 97 also has capacity for future staffing expansion, if needed. The certified EIR found that fire protection services would be further supported through mandatory compliance with the California Fire Code, City Municipal Code Chapter 8.20, and payment of applicable development impact fees. Regarding police protection, the CEQA Consistency Analysis
Wal-Mart 2077 Fuel Station Project City of Lake Elsinore
certified EIR determined that service would be provided by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, operating from the Lake Elsinore Police Station, located approximately 1.72 miles north of the site. The General Plan EIR found that no new police facilities or personnel increases would be required. The certified EIR further concluded that on-site 24-hour private security, enhanced lighting, and other crime deterrent features would help minimize service demand. Because the Walmart Supercenter Project would be served by existing public safety infrastructure and would contribute to public services funding, impacts related to fire and police services were determined to be less than significant, and no mitigation measures were required.
Certified EIR Mitigation Measures
None required.
Proposed Project. The proposed Project would develop a fuel station with 16 fueling positions and a 1,618-square-foot convenience store on an approximately 1.10-acre portion of the Walmart Supercenter site. The site is currently paved and developed as part of the existing surface parking lot. The proposed Project would not introduce residential uses or generate substantial new employment. It therefore would not result in a measurable population increase or a new demand for schools, parks, or library services.
Concerning fire and police protection, the proposed Project would not substantially increase service demands beyond those analyzed in the certified EIR. The scale, operational characteristics, and location of the proposed Project are consistent with the types of development contemplated under the certified EIR, and the existing fire and police facilities identified in the certified EIR are anticipated to be sufficient to serve the site. The proposed Project would be subject to compliance with the California Fire Code, applicable City safety regulations, and would pay its fair share of public services funding through development impact fees. In addition, the proposed site design includes on-site lighting and clear lines of sight, which would contribute to crime deterrence and reduce the potential need for law enforcement response.
Conclusion. The proposed Project would not result in new or more severe public services impacts than those previously evaluated in the certified EIR for the Walmart Supercenter site. Existing fire and police facilities would continue to provide adequate service, and no new or expanded infrastructure would be required. The proposed Project would comply with applicable safety regulations and development impact fee requirements. No new information, changed circumstances, or substantial project modifications have been identified that would trigger the need for a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Therefore, the findings of the certified EIR remain valid and applicable, and no further CEQA documentation is required for public services.
4.11 TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC
Certified EIR Summary. The certified EIR evaluated transportation and traffic impacts associated with the construction and operation of the Walmart Supercenter Project. The analysis was based on a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by Urban Crossroads in 2015, which assessed 32 intersections, adjacent freeway segments, and on/off-ramp junctions under the following scenarios:
Baseline, Baseline Plus Project, Near-Term Cumulative (Opening Year 2016), and Long-Term Cumulative (General Plan Buildout Post-2035). The TIA’s analysis is based on Option B, to overstate rather than understate potential impacts. Option A, which included a gas station with 16 fueling positions and a 3,600 square foot convenience store, was found to generate 2,180 fewer daily trips, 123 fewer AM peak hour trips, 28 fewer PM peak hour trips, and 113 fewer Saturday peak hour trips compared to the more retailintensive Option B that was analyzed in the certified EIR. The EIR applied Level of Service (LOS) significance CEQA Consistency Analysis
Wal-Mart 2077 Fuel Station Project City of Lake Elsinore
thresholds consistent with those of the City of Lake Elsinore, Caltrans, and the Riverside County Congestion Management Program, with LOS D generally used as the threshold for significance.
Construction-related traffic impacts were found to be less than significant due to their temporary and localized nature.
Under Baseline Plus Project conditions, the certified EIR identified six intersections where the Walmart Supercenter Project would result in significant impacts:
• East Lakeshore Drive/Diamond Drive (Intersection #3)
• Gunnerson Street/Riverside Drive (SR-74) (Intersection #4) • I-15 Southbound Ramps/Railroad Canyon Road (Intersection #11) • I-15 Northbound Ramps/Nichols Road (Intersection #12) • I-15 Northbound Ramps/North Main Street (Intersection #14) • Summerhill Drive/Railroad Canyon Road (Intersection #23) With implementation of MM TRA-1 through MM TRA-6, these impacts would be reduced to less than significant. However, the certified EIR conservatively assumed significant impacts would occur until the physical improvements are fully implemented.
Under Opening Year (2016) Cumulative Without Project Conditions, two additional intersections were anticipated to operate at unacceptable LOS during one or more peak hours:
• Lakeshore Drive/Riverside Drive (SR-74) (Intersection #1) • I-15 Northbound Ramps/Railroad Canyon Road (Intersection #15) With implementation of MM TRA-7 through MM TRA-10, these impacts could also be reduced to less than significant. However, the certified EIR conservatively assumes significant impacts persist until the physical improvements are fully implemented.
Under Long-Term (Post-2035) Cumulative With Project conditions, 25 of the 32 study intersections were projected to operate at unacceptable LOS during one or more peak hours. • Lakeshore Drive/ Riverside Drive (SR-74) (Intersection #1) • Gunnerson Street/ Riverside Drive (SR-74) (Intersection #4) • Collier Avenue/ Riverside Drive (SR-74) (Intersection #5) • Collier Avenue/ Central Avenue (SR-74) (Intersection #6) • Auto Center Drive/ Diamond Drive (Intersection #7)
• I-15 Southbound Ramps/Nichols Road (Intersection #8)
• I-15 Southbound Ramps/ Central Avenue (SR-74) (Intersection #9) • I-15 Southbound Ramps/ North Main Street (Intersection #10) • I-15 Southbound Ramps/Railroad Canyon Road (Intersection #11) • I-15 Northbound Ramps/Nichols Road (Intersection #12) • I-15 Northbound Ramps/ Central Avenue (SR-74) (Intersection #13) CEQA Consistency Analysis
Wal-Mart 2077 Fuel Station Project City of Lake Elsinore
• I-15 Northbound Ramps/North Main Street (Intersection #14) • I-15 Northbound Ramps/Railroad Canyon Road (Intersection #15) • Dexter Avenue/11th Street (Intersection #16)
• Dexter Avenue/Central Avenue (SR-74) (Intersection #17) • Dexter Avenue/Crane Street (Intersection #19)
• Dexter Avenue/ 3rd Street (Intersection #20)
• Dexter Avenue/ 2nd Street (Intersection #21)
• Camino del Norte/ North Main Street (Intersection #22) • Summerhill Drive/ Railroad Canyon Road (Intersection #23) • Cambern Avenue/ Central Avenue (SR-74) (Intersection #25) • Cambern Avenue/ 3rd Street (Intersection #28)
• Conard Avenue/ Central Avenue (SR-74) (Intersection #29) • Rosetta Canyon Drive/ Central Avenue (SR-74) (Intersection #30) • Riverside Street/ Central Avenue (SR-74) (Intersection #31) • Greenwald Avenue/ Central Avenue (SR-74) (Intersection #32) While the Walmart Supercenter Project did not change the LOS outcome at these intersections under cumulative conditions, it was found to contribute to significant cumulative impacts. With implementation of MM TRA-11 through MM TRA-38, these impacts could be reduced to less than significant; however, the certified EIR conservatively assumes significant impacts persist until completion of improvements.
The certified EIR also evaluated operations of ten I-15 Freeway segments, concluding that the following nine segments would operate at an unacceptable LOS during peak hours under both Without Project and With Project Long-Term Cumulative conditions.
• Southbound, north of Nichols Road
• Southbound, Nichols Road to Central Avenue (SR-74)
• Southbound, Central Avenue (SR-74) to North Main Street • Southbound, North Main Street to Railroad Canyon Road • Northbound, north of Nichols Road
• Northbound, Nichols Road to Central Avenue (SR-74)
• Northbound, Central Avenue (SR-74) to North Main Street • Northbound, North Main Street to Railroad Canyon Road • Northbound, south of Railroad Canyon Road
Ramp merge and diverge operations were also assessed for Long-Term Cumulative conditions. While most ramps were expected to operate at LOS D or better, 11 ramp junctions were identified where operations would deteriorate to unacceptable LOS without mitigation.

• Northbound, Off-Ramp at Central Avenue (SR-74)
• Northbound, On- and Off-Ramp at North Main Street
• Northbound, On- and Off-Ramp at Railroad Canyon Road
With MM TRA-11 through TRA-38 incorporated, the impacts on cumulative traffic conditions would be reduced to less than significant. However, the certified EIR assumed that the significant impact will occur until the improvements are completed.

Each of the improvements discussed above have been identified as being included as part of TUMF funding program, City TIF funding program or fair share contribution.
Proposed Project. The proposed Project represents a component of the previously analyzed Walmart Supercenter Project. It would develop an approximately 1.10-acre portion of the Walmart Supercenter site with a new fuel station providing 16 fueling positions and a 1,618-square-foot convenience store. This development is within the 2,638 square feet of unbuilt commercial development capacity analyzed under Option B of the certified EIR and reflects a net reduction of 1,020 square feet of commercial building area compared to the Option B buildout scenario evaluated in the certified EIR.
The proposed Project also represents a less intensive traffic-generating use than the gas station alternative analyzed in the TIA (Option A). The TIA concluded that a larger gas station, convenience store (i.e., 3,600 square feet), and car wash would generate substantially fewer daily and peak-hour trips than Option B, which assumed only retail and fast food uses. Because the proposed Project is smaller in scale than the gas station alternative evaluated under Option A, it would generate even fewer trips than those analyzed in the certified EIR. Accordingly, the proposed Project would not exceed or intensify the traffic generation, circulation impacts, or congestion levels beyond those analyzed and disclosed in the certified EIR. This is further supported by the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared for the Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., dated August 2025 (provided as Appendix C), which does not identify any new impacts at intersections not already disclosed in the certified EIR. Because building permits associated with development of the Walmart Supercenter site have already been issued and construction of the remainder of the Walmart Supercenter site has been completed, it is assumed that the applicable transportation mitigation measures identified in the certified EIR (MM TRA-1 through MM TRA-38) have been implemented, satisfied through payment of TIF or TUMF, or otherwise addressed through project conditions of approval. As such, no new or additional transportation mitigation is required for the proposed Project.
CEQA Consistency Analysis
Wal-Mart 2077 Fuel Station Project City of Lake Elsinore
Conclusion. The proposed Project would not result in new or more severe transportation or traffic impacts than those disclosed in the certified EIR. The traffic-generating potential of the proposed Project was evaluated in the certified EIR and determined to be lower than the more intensive land uses studied in the TIA. The certified EIR already adopted mitigation measures (MM TRA-1 through MM TRA-38) to address transportation impacts, and no changes to those measures are required. Because building permits have already been issued and site development has occurred, it is assumed that applicable traffic mitigation measures were previously satisfied through permit conditions, fee programs, or construction of required improvements. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no new significant impacts would occur, no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts would result, and no new information of substantial importance has been identified. Therefore, preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR is not required.
4.12 URBAN DECAY
Certified EIR Summary. The certified EIR included an evaluation of potential impacts on urban decay associated with the Walmart Supercenter Project. The analysis considered whether the Walmart Supercenter Project would result in substantial diversion of retail sales from existing businesses, potentially leading to store closures of such scale (i.e., in terms of the total square footage affected and/or the loss of key “anchor” tenants) to affect the long-term viability of existing vacant structures that could result in urban decay. The certified EIR concluded that the Walmart Supercenter Project would not result in urban decay. The analysis found that existing and projected demand for retail and grocery goods, including general merchandise, would be sufficient to support the new Walmart Supercenter and outlot development without resulting in widespread or prolonged vacancies in existing retail centers. With respect to fuel sales, the certified EIR specifically noted that the anticipated growth in gasoline demand would be more than sufficient to support the likely sales at a potential gas station and convenience store.
Impacts were determined to be less than significant, and no mitigation was required.
Proposed Project. The proposed Project would develop an approximately 1.10-acre portion of the Walmart Supercenter site with 16 fueling positions and a 1,618-square-foot convenience store. This use was contemplated in the certified EIR as a potential component of overall site buildout and was found to be supported by projected fuel demand in the local trade area. The proposed Project does not introduce any new or expanded commercial land uses beyond those already anticipated in the certified EIR. It would not result in the type or scale of retail sales diversion that could reasonably cause widespread store closures or prevent the reuse of commercial space.
Conclusion. The proposed Project would not result in new or more severe urban decay impacts than those evaluated in the certified EIR. The certified EIR explicitly considered the potential for a gas station/convenience store and determined that such a use would be supported by demand and would not contribute to commercial decline. The proposed Project remains within the scope of that prior analysis and would not alter its conclusions. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no new significant impacts would occur, no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts would result, and no new information of substantial importance has been identified. Therefore, preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR is not required.
4.13 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
Certified EIR Summary. The certified EIR determined that implementation of the 17.66-acre Walmart Supercenter site would not result in significant impacts related to utilities and service systems. Impacts associated with the construction or expansion of water, wastewater, and stormwater drainage facilities, CEQA Consistency Analysis
Wal-Mart 2077 Fuel Station Project City of Lake Elsinore
as well as water supply, wastewater treatment capacity, and solid waste generation, were found to be less than significant, with no mitigation required. The project would not require or result in the construction or expansion of utility infrastructure that could cause significant environmental effects.
Water supply for the Walmart Supercenter site is provided by the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD). The certified EIR estimated that the Walmart Supercenter Project would increase water demand by approximately 9.7 acre-feet per year, which equated to only 0.03 percent of EVMWD’s total annual water supply to the Elsinore Division. EVMWD confirmed that it had sufficient capacity to serve the proposed development over 20 years, including both average and wet years, as well as 15-year multiple dry year scenarios and 10-year single dry year scenarios. A will-serve letter was included in the certified EIR, verifying that both water supply and wastewater treatment services would be available for the project.
Proposed Project. The proposed Project would develop an approximately 1.10-acre portion of the Walmart Supercenter site with 16 fueling positions and a 1,618-square-foot convenience store. This development would result in lower overall water and wastewater demand compared to the more intensive retail or restaurant uses evaluated under Option B of the certified EIR. As of the date of this analysis, 13,362 square feet of outlot development has been constructed, and the proposed Project would increase the total to approximately 14,980 square feet, remaining below the 16,000-square-foot assumption analyzed in the EIR. The proposed Project would connect to existing on-site water and wastewater lines and would not require construction or expansion of utility infrastructure beyond what was previously contemplated. Solid waste generated during construction and operation would be accommodated by existing City collection services and regional landfill capacity, consistent with the findings of the certified EIR. No off-site utility extensions or new treatment facilities would be necessary to accommodate the proposed development.
Conclusion. The proposed Project would not result in new or more severe impacts to utilities and service systems than those previously evaluated in the certified EIR for the Walmart Supercenter Project. The proposed development falls within the service assumptions and infrastructure footprint analyzed in the prior environmental review. No new utility demands would occur that exceed the capacity of the EVMWD or the City's existing solid waste and drainage systems. No new information, changed circumstances, or substantial project modifications have been identified that would trigger the need for a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Therefore, the findings of the certified EIR remain valid and applicable, and no further CEQA documentation is required for utilities and service systems.

Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 2 Item Description
Proposed
Structure
The project includes a single-story fuel station serviced building with a footprint up to 1600 square feet (35x45 feet). The building will be slab-on-grade (non-basement). The project will also include the construction of a fuel station canopy (160 feet by 30 ft), a below grade fuel tank, and the improvements will also include reconfiguration of drive lanes and landscape areas.
Maximum
Structural Loads
Fuel Station Service Building Structural Load Data: We
understand that the fuel service building will have dimensions of 1,500 square feet. The typical gravity load to an interior column is 12 kips. The estimated maximum gravity load that may occasionally occur due to severe live loading is 25 kips.
Maximum column uplift force from wind is estimated at 15 kips.
The light gauge steel stud wall gravity loads range from 0.5 to
1.0 kips per lineal foot. Estimated maximum uniform floor slab live load is 100 psf. Estimated maximum floor slab
concentrated load is 1.0 kip.
Fuel Station Canopy (typical for multi-column layouts)
Structural Load Data: For the canopy, the isolated column loads consist of axial gravity and uplift loads in conjunction with shear and overturning moments. The typical gravity axial load to a canopy column is 20 kips. The estimated maximum gravity load that may occasionally occur due to severe live loading is 40 kips. Maximum column uplift force from wind is estimated at 25 kips. The estimated maximum shear load from wind is
estimated at 8 kips. The estimated maximum overturning
moment from wind is estimated at 120 kip-feet.
Grading/Slopes
We anticipate that the field grade will follow the existing site grades with minimum grading required to bring the site to finish grade. We anticipate that the fuel tank will be on the order of 15 feet below existing site grades.
Pavements
Standard Duty Pavement:
Design life of 20 years based on a minimum ESAL (18 kip) load of 2,200 terminal serviceability = 2.0, reliability = 85%, initial serviceability = 4.2, standard deviation = 0.45 for flexible pavements and 0.35 for rigid pavements.
Heavy Duty Pavement:
A design life of 20 years, based on a minimum ESAL (18 kip) load of 335,800, terminal serviceability = 2.0, reliability = 85%, initial serviceability = 4.2, standard deviation = 0.45 for flexible pavements and 0.35 for rigid pavements

Geotechnical Characterization
Subsurface Conditions
We have developed a general characterization of the subsurface conditions based upon our review of the subsurface exploration, laboratory data, geologic setting and our understanding of the project. This characterization, termed GeoModel, forms the basis of Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 4 our geotechnical calculations and evaluation of the site. Conditions observed at each exploration point are indicated on the individual logs. The individual logs can be found in the Exploration Results and the GeoModel can be found in the Figures attachment of this report.
As part of our analyses, we identified the following model layers within the subsurface profile. For a more detailed view of the model layer depths at each boring location, refer to the GeoModel.
Model Layer Layer Name Density/Consistency
01 Fill – Silty Sand / Clayey Sand --
02 Silty Sand or Clayey Sand Medium dense to dense
03 Sandy Silt / Silty Clay with Sand Stiff to hard
04 Silty Sand Very dense
The geotechnical characterization forms the basis of our geotechnical calculations and evaluation of site preparation and foundation options. As noted in General Comments, the characterization is based upon widely spaced exploration points across the site, and variations are likely.
Lab Results
Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples and the test results are presented in the Exploration Results section and on the boring logs. Atterberg limit test results indicate that the on-site soils generally non-plastic or have low plasticity. A consolidation test indicated that the sandy soils encountered at an approximate depth of
2.5 feet bgs have a negligible collapse potential when saturated under normal footing loads of 2,000 psf. Direct shear testing on clayey soils encountered at 7.5 feet indicate soils have an effective friction angle of approximately 25 degrees with apparent cohesion value of 820 psf. Maximum density/optimum moisture content testing conducted in accordance with ASTM D1557 (Modified Proctor) indicate that near surface soils tested have maximum dry density of 132.3 pounds per cubic feet (pcf) and optimum water content of 8.3 percent. R-value tests on soils tested in the surface indicate that the soils have an approximate R-value of 9.

Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 5 In accordance with our Scope of Work, groundwater samples were collected from boring B-1 and sent to Sunstar Laboratories, Inc. for analytical testing for the presence of BTEX. The test results are presented in the Exploration Results of this report.
Groundwater
The borings were advanced using a hollow-stem-auger technique that allow short term groundwater observations to be made while drilling. Groundwater seepage was encountered in boring B-1 at approximately 22.7 feet bgs.
According to data collected the State Waterboards Geotracker website application from nearby monitoring wells located approximately 500 feet southwest of the site at 29300 Central Avenue (Site ID T0606510037), historic groundwater levels recorded on September 2010 were reported at approximately 35 feet bgs.1 Groundwater level fluctuations occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff and other factors not evident at the time the borings were performed. Therefore, groundwater levels during construction or at other times in the life of the structure may be higher or lower than the levels indicated on the boring logs. The possibility of groundwater level fluctuations should be considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project.
Seismic Site Class
The 2022 California Building Code (CBC) Seismic Design Parameters have been generated using the SEAOC/OSHPD Seismic Design Maps Tool. This web-based software application calculates seismic design parameters in accordance with ASCE 7-16, and 2022 CBC. The 2022 CBC requires that a site-specific ground motion study be performed in accordance with Section 11.4.8 of ASCE 7-16 for Site Class D sites with a mapped S1 value greater than or equal 0.2.
However, Section 11.4.8 of ASCE 7-16 includes an exception from such analysis for specific structures on Site Class D sites. The commentary for Section 11 of ASCE 7-16 (Page 534 of Section C11 of ASCE 7-16) states that “In general, this exception effectively limits the requirements for site-specific hazard analysis to very tall and or flexible structures at Site Class D sites.” Based on our understanding of the proposed structures, 1 Geotracker.waterboards.ca.

Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 6 it is our assumption that the exception in Section 11.4.8 applies to the proposed structure.
However, the structural engineer should verify the applicability of this exception.
Based on this exception, the spectral response accelerations presented below were determined using the site coefficients (Fa and Fv) from Tables 1613.2.3(1) and 1613.2.3(2) presented in Section 16.4.4 of the 2022 CBC.

1. Seismic site classification in general accordance with the 2022 California Building Code.
2. The 2022 California Building Code (CBC) requires a site soil profile determination extending to a depth of 100 feet for seismic site classification. The current scope does not include the 100-foot soil profile determination. Borings were extended to a maximum depth of 50.3 feet, and this seismic site class definition considers that similar or denser soils continue below the maximum depth of the subsurface exploration. Additional exploration to deeper depths would be required to confirm the conditions below the current depth of exploration.
Faulting and Estimated Ground Motions
The site is located in the southern California, which is a seismically active area. The type and magnitude of seismic hazards affecting the site are dependent on the distance to causative faults, the intensity, and the magnitude of the seismic event. As calculated using the USGS Unified Hazard Tool, Elsinore (Glen Ivy) fault, which is considered to have the most significant effect at the site from a design standpoint, has a maximum credible earthquake magnitude of 6.37 and is located approximately 3.92 kilometers from the site.
Based on the USGS Design Maps Summary Report, using the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE 7-16) standard, the peak ground acceleration (PGAM) at the project site is expected to be 0.966g. Based on the USGS Unified Hazard Tool, the project site has a Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 7 mean magnitude of 6.7. Furthermore, the site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone based on our review of the State Fault Hazard Maps.2 Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a mode of ground failure that results from the generation of high pore water pressures during earthquake ground shaking, causing loss of shear strength.
Liquefaction is typically a hazard where the condition of loose sandy soils exists below groundwater. The California Geological Survey (CGS) has designated certain areas as potential liquefaction hazard zones. These are areas considered at a risk of liquefactionrelated ground failure during a seismic event, based upon mapped surficial deposits and the presence of a relatively shallow water table.
Based on our review of the CGS map, the project site has not been mapped for liquefaction hazard. However, according to the County of Riverside GIS system, the site’s potential for liquefaction hazard is high.
3 A liquefaction analysis for the site was performed in general accordance with the DMG Special Publication 117. The liquefaction study utilized the software “LiquefyPro” by CivilTech Software. This analysis was based on the soil data from soil boring B-1. A Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) of 0.966g and the mean magnitude of 6.7 for the project site were used. Calculations utilized the encountered groundwater depth of 22.7 feet bgs. Settlement analysis used the Tokimatsu, M-correction method and the fines percentage were corrected for liquefaction using the Idriss/Seed method.
Liquefaction potential was assessed from a depth of 0 to 50 feet below the ground surface. The factor of safety was generally greater than 1.3 with the exception of a layer between depths of 23.5 feet to 28.5 feet and a thin layer between 34 feet and 35 feet bgs in which the factor of safety dropped below 1.
Seismic Settlement
Based on calculation results, seismically induced settlement of saturated and unsaturated sands is estimated to be on the order of 1½ inches. Differential seismic settlement is anticipated to be on the order of ½ to ⅔ of the total settlement.

Results of soluble sulfate testing indicate samples of the on-site soils tested possess negligible sulfate concentrations when classified in accordance with Table 19.3.1.1 of the ACI Design Manual. Concrete should be designed in accordance with the exposure class S0 provisions of the ACI Design Manual, Section 318, Chapter 19.
Stormwater Management
Two (2) in-situ percolation tests were performed to approximate depth of 5 and 10 feet bgs. A 2-inch-thick layer of gravel was placed in the bottom of each boring after the borings were drilled to investigate the soil profile. A 3-inch diameter perforated pipe was installed on top of the gravel layer in each boring. Gravel was used to backfill between the perforated pipes and the boring sidewall. The borings were then filled with water for a presoak period of 24 hours. Testing began after a pre-soak period. At the beginning of the test, the pipes were refilled with water and readings were taken at standardized time intervals. Percolation rates are provided in the following table:

1 If proposed infiltration system will mainly rely on vertical downward seepage, the correlated infiltration rates should be used. The infiltration rates were correlated using the Porchet method.
With time, the bottoms of infiltration systems tend to plug with organics, sediments, and other debris. Long term maintenance will likely be required to remove these deleterious materials to help reduce decreases in actual percolation rates.
The percolation tests were performed with clear water, whereas the storm water will likely not be clear, but may contain organics, fines, and grease/oil. The presence of these deleterious materials will tend to decrease the rate that water percolates from the infiltration systems. Design of the stormwater infiltration systems should account for the presence of these materials and should incorporate structures/devices to remove these deleterious materials. A safety factor should be applied to these measured rates.
Based on the soils encountered in our borings, we expect the percolation rates of the soils could be different than measured in the field due to variations in fines and gravel content.
The design elevation and size of the proposed infiltration system should account for this expected variability in infiltration rates.
Infiltration testing should be performed after construction of the infiltration system to verify the design infiltration rates. It should be noted that siltation and vegetation growth along with other factors may affect the infiltration rates of the infiltration areas. The actual infiltration rate may vary from the values reported here. Infiltration systems should be located a minimum of 10 feet from any existing or proposed foundation system.
Geotechnical Overview
The site appears suitable for the proposed construction based upon geotechnical conditions encountered in the test borings, provided that the recommendations provided in this report are implemented in the design and construction phases of this project.
The subsurface materials generally consisted of medium dense to dense sand with varying amounts silts interbedded with sandy silt extending to the maximum depth of the borings. Groundwater was encountered at approximately 22.7 feet bgs in boring B-1.
Our explorations indicate the site has approximately 1 to 2 feet of fill material within portions of the site. The fill soils consisted of clayey sand or silty sand. The estimated Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 10 depth of fill should not be considered exact due to the similarity of lithology, color, and densities of the graded materials and native soils. Typically fill soils should be removed and replaced prior to new construction. However, this fill was likely placed during the grading and relatively recent construction of the Wal-Mart shopping center and based on past history with Wal-Mart projects grading and inspection documentation likely exists.
Furthermore, In-situ density tests measured from samples taken from our borings indicate that these soils received adequate compaction testing during placement. However, Terracon recommends that records of the testing and inspection of grading in this area be reviewed prior to start of construction of this outlying Fuel Facility.
The proposed structures may be supported on shallow spread footing foundations bearing on engineered fill, or on drilled shafts. Engineered fill should extend to a minimum depth of 2 feet below the bottom of foundations, or 3 feet below existing grades, whichever is greater. The excavation should be widened laterally at least 8 inches for each 12 inches of fill placed below footing base elevations. Grading for the proposed station should incorporate the limits of the overexcavation plus a lateral distance of 2 feet beyond the outside edge of perimeter footings, where possible.
On-site silty sand soils are suitable for reuse as engineered fill within 2 feet of the bottom of proposed shallow foundations and floor slabs. On-site clayey sand soils exhibit medium expansive potential when saturated under confining pressures of 2,000 psf (typical footing loads). We recommend that on-site clayey sand soils not be used within 2 feet below the bottom of shallow foundations or floor slabs. These soils may be used for general site grading and beneath pavements.
Overexcavation and replacement is not required for support of drilled shaft foundations.
Due to the presence of liquefiable soils between depths of 23 and 28 feet below existing ground surface we recommend that drilled shafts not be extended past a depth of 22 feet and be designed based on skin friction resistances alone with end bearing capacities ignored. If shafts are required to extend past this depth, then we recommend that shallow foundation be used to support the structure or Terracon should be notified as additional recommendations related to down drag forces should be provided to the designer.
Geotechnical engineering recommendations for foundation systems and other earth connected phases of the project are outlined below. The recommendations contained in this report are based upon the results of field and laboratory testing (presented in the Exploration Results), engineering analyses, and our current understanding of the proposed project.
The General Comments section provides an understanding of the report limitations.
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 11 Earthwork
The following presents recommendations for site preparation, excavation, subgrade preparation, and placement of engineered fills on the project. The recommendations presented for the design and construction of foundations are contingent upon following the recommendations outlined in this section.
Earthwork on the project should be observed and evaluated by Terracon. The evaluation of earthwork should include observation and testing of engineered fill, subgrade preparation, foundation of bearing soils, and other geotechnical conditions exposed during construction of the project.
Site Preparation
Prior to placing fill, existing debris, pavements, and other deleterious materials should be removed from proposed foundation and pavement areas. Exposed surfaces within these areas should be free of mounds and depressions which could prevent uniform compaction. The site should be initially graded to create a relatively level surface to receive fill and provide for a relatively uniform thickness of fill beneath proposed structures.
Our explorations indicate the site has approximately 2 feet of fill materials across the site. The fill soils consisted of silty sand. The estimated depth of fill should not be considered exact due to the similarity of lithology, color, and densities of the graded materials and native soils. Based on our review of Google Earth imagery, it is apparent that the fill materials are associated with the grading and development of the existing shopping center onsite between August 2019 and August 2021.
Terracon does not have any documentation to show if the grading operations were monitored or the fill materials have been compacted and tested. Typically fill soils should be removed and replaced prior to new construction. However, this fill was likely placed during the grading and relatively recent construction of the Wal-Mart shopping center and based on past history with Wal-Mart projects grading and inspection documentation likely exists. Furthermore, In-situ density tests measured from samples taken from our borings indicate that these soils received adequate compaction testing during placement.
If such documentation exists, Terracon should be notified and the recommendations in this report may be appropriately modified or confirmed.
Evidence of utilities such as manhole covers, and utility markings was observed onsite.
Although no evidence underground facilities such as septic tanks, cesspools, or basements were observed during the site reconnaissance, such features could be encountered during construction. If unexpected fills or underground facilities are encountered, such features should be removed, and the excavation thoroughly cleaned prior to backfill placement and/or construction.
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 12 Subgrade Preparation
The proposed service building and canopies may be supported by a shallow concrete foundation system bearing on engineered fill. The canopy structures may also be considered to be supported on drilled shafts.
The proposed structures may be supported by a shallow foundation supported on engineered fill extending to a minimum depth of 2 feet below the bottom of foundations, or 3 feet below existing grade, whichever is greater. Grading for the proposed station should incorporate the limits of the overexcavation plus a lateral distance of 2 feet beyond the outside edge of perimeter footings. Overexcavation and replacement is not required for support of drilled shaft foundations.
Subgrade soils beneath proposed exterior slabs should be scarified to a minimum depth of 12 inches, moisture conditioned, and compacted. The moisture content and compaction of subgrade soils should be maintained until slab or pavement construction.
All exposed areas which will receive fill, once properly cleared and benched where necessary, should be scarified to a minimum depth of 10 inches, moisture conditioned as necessary, and compacted per the compaction requirements in this report. Compacted structural fill soils should then be placed to the proposed design grade and the moisture content and compaction of subgrade soils should be maintained until foundation construction.
Based upon the subsurface conditions determined from the geotechnical exploration, subgrade soils exposed during construction are anticipated to be relatively workable; however, the workability of the subgrade may be affected by precipitation, repetitive construction traffic or other factors. If unworkable conditions develop, workability may be improved by scarifying and drying.
Excavation
We anticipate that excavations for the proposed construction can be accomplished with conventional earthmoving equipment.
The bottom of excavations should be thoroughly cleaned of loose soils and disturbed materials prior to backfill placement and/or construction.
Onsite soils consist of cohesionless sandy soils. Such soils have the tendency to cave and slough during excavations. Therefore, formwork may be needed for foundation excavations.

Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 13 The walls of the proposed excavation should be shored or sloped in conformance with OSHA excavation and trench safety standards. If any excavation is extended to a depth of more than 20 feet, it will be necessary to have the side slopes designed by a professional engineer.
We recommend that the underground storage tanks be over-excavated by about 2 feet in plan area to provide adequate access around the excavation for underground storage tanks construction. The walls of the proposed excavation should be shored or sloped in conformance with OSHA excavation and trench safety standards. If any excavation is extended to a depth of more than 20 feet, it will be necessary to have the side slopes designed by a professional engineer.
Soils from the excavation should not be stockpiled higher than six 6 feet or within ten 10 feet of the edge of an open trench. Construction of open cuts adjacent to existing structures, including underground pipes, is not recommended within a 1½ H:1V plane extending beyond and down from the perimeter of the structure. Cuts that are proposed within five 5 feet of light standards, other utilities, underground structures, and pavement should be provided with temporary shoring.
Onsite soils consist of cohesionless sandy soils. Therefore, OSHA Soil Type C should be utilized for sloping considerations and on-site soils shall be sloped at a minimum of
1.5H:1V. Furthermore, benching is not permitted.
It may be necessary for the contractor to retain a geotechnical engineer to monitor the soils exposed in all excavations and provide engineering services for slopes. This will provide an opportunity to monitor the soils encountered and to modify the excavation slopes as necessary. It also offers an opportunity to verify the stability of the excavation slopes during construction
Individual contractors are responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary excavations. Excavations should be sloped or shored in the interest of safety following local, and federal regulations, including current OSHA excavation and trench safety standards.
Fill Material and Placement
All fill materials should be inorganic soils free of vegetation, debris, and fragments larger than six inches in size. Pea gravel or other open-graded materials should not be used as fill or backfill without the prior approval of the geotechnical engineer.
Clean on-site soils or approved imported materials may be used as fill material for the following:

Due to the medium expansion potential of the on-site clayey sand soils, we recommend that these materials not be used within 2 feet of the bottom of floor slabs or shallow foundations. Engineered fill used to support these elements should consist of on-site silty sand soils or imported low volume change soils.
Imported soils for use as fill material within proposed structure areas should conform to low volume change materials as indicated in the following specifications:

Engineered fill should be placed and compacted in horizontal lifts, using equipment and procedures that will produce recommended moisture contents and densities throughout the lift. Fill lifts should not exceed 10 inches loose thickness.

Utility Trench Backfill
We anticipate that the on-site soils will provide suitable support for underground utilities and piping that may be installed. Any soft and/or unsuitable material encountered at the bottom of excavations should be removed and be replaced with an adequate bedding material.
A non-expansive granular material with a sand equivalent greater than 30 should be used for bedding and shading of utilities, unless allowed or specified otherwise by the utility manufacturer.
On-site materials are considered suitable for backfill of utility and pipe trenches from 1 foot above the top of the pipe to the final ground surface, provided the material is free of organic matter and deleterious substances.
Trench backfill should be mechanically placed and compacted as discussed earlier in this report. Compaction of initial lifts should be accomplished with hand-operated tampers or other lightweight compactors. Where trenches are placed beneath footings, the backfill should satisfy the gradation and expansion index requirements of engineered fill Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 16 discussed in this report. Flooding or jetting for placement and compaction of backfill is not recommended.
Grading and Drainage
All grades must provide effective drainage away from the proposed structure during and after construction and should be maintained throughout the life of the structure. Water retained next to the structure can result in soil movements greater than those discussed in this report. Greater movements can result in unacceptable differential foundation movements, cracked slabs and walls, and roof leaks.
Planters and other surface features which could retain water in areas adjacent to the building or pavements should be sealed or eliminated. In areas where sidewalks or paving do not immediately adjoin the structure, we recommend that protective slopes be provided with a minimum grade of approximately 5 percent for at least 10 feet from perimeter walls. Backfill against footings, exterior walls, and in utility and sprinkler line trenches should be well compacted and free of all construction debris to reduce the possibility of moisture infiltration. We recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance of 10 feet from the perimeter of any structure and the high-water elevation of the nearest stormwater retention basin.
Roof and canopy drainage should discharge into splash blocks or extensions when the ground surface beneath such features is not protected by exterior slabs or paving.
Sprinkler systems and landscaped irrigation should not be installed within 5 feet of foundation walls.
Exterior Slab Design and Construction
Compacted subgrade composed of on-site clayey soils will expand with increasing moisture content; therefore, exterior concrete slabs may heave, resulting in cracking or vertical offsets. The potential for damage would be greatest where exterior slabs are constructed adjacent to the building or other structural elements. To reduce the potential for damage caused by movement, we recommend:
■ exterior slabs should be supported directly on subgrade fill (not ABC) with no, or very low expansion potential;
■ strict moisture-density control during placement of subgrade fills; ■ maintain proper subgrade moisture until placement of slabs; ■ placement of effective control joints on relatively close centers and isolation joints between slabs and other structural elements;
■ provision for adequate drainage in areas adjoining the slabs; ■ use of designs which allow vertical movement between the exterior slabs and adjoining structural elements.

Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 17 Earthwork Construction Considerations
Upon completion of filling and grading, care should be taken to maintain the subgrade water content prior to construction of pavements. Construction traffic over the completed subgrades should be avoided to the extent practical. The site should also be graded to prevent ponding of surface water on the prepared subgrades or in excavations. Water collecting over or adjacent to construction areas should be removed.
If the subgrade desiccates, saturates, or is disturbed, the affected material should be removed, or the materials should be scarified, moisture conditioned, and recompacted prior to pavement construction.
Should unstable subgrade conditions develop stabilization measures will need to be employed. Stabilization measures may include placement of aggregate base and multiaxial geogrid. Use of lime, fly ash, kiln dust or cement could also be considered as a stabilization technique. Laboratory evaluation is recommended to determine the effect of chemical stabilization on subgrade soils prior to construction.
We recommend that the earthwork portion of this project be completed during extended periods of dry weather if possible. If earthwork is completed during the wet season (typically November through April) it may be necessary to take extra precautionary measures to protect subgrade soils. Wet season earthwork operations may require additional mitigative measures beyond that which would be expected during the drier summer and fall months. This could include diversion of surface runoff around exposed soils and draining of ponded water on the site. Once subgrades are established, it may be necessary to protect the exposed subgrade soils from construction traffic.
Based on our understanding of the project, we anticipate that excavations up to 15 feet below existing grade for the installation of the underground storage tanks are planned for this project. The sides of below grade structure excavations may either be sloped or formed with vertical cuts. For vertical sided excavations greater than 5 feet in depth, the excavations will require the use of shoring, bracing or some form of retention to prevent sloughing and caving of the soil into the excavation.
As a safety measure, no equipment should be operated within 5 feet of the edge of the excavation and no materials should be stockpiled within 10 feet of the excavation.
Excavations should not approach closer than a distance equal to the depth of excavation from existing structures/facilities without some form of protection for the facilities.
Proper berming or ditching should be performed to divert any surface runoff away from the excavation.
The individual contractor(s) is responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary excavations as required to maintain stability of both the excavation sides and bottom. Excavations should be sloped or shored in the interest of safety following local, and federal regulations, including current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) excavation and trench safety standards.
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 18 As a minimum, excavations should be performed in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P, “Excavations” and its appendices, and in accordance with any applicable local, and/or state regulations.
Construction site safety is the sole responsibility of the contractor who controls the means, methods, and sequencing of construction operations. Under no circumstances shall the information provided herein be interpreted to mean Terracon is assuming responsibility for construction site safety, or the contractor's activities; such responsibility shall neither be implied nor inferred.
Construction Observation and Testing
The geotechnical engineer should be retained during the construction phase of the project to observe earthwork and to perform necessary tests and observations during subgrade preparation, proof-rolling, placement and compaction of controlled compacted fills, backfilling of excavations to the completed subgrade.
The exposed subgrade and each lift of compacted fill should be tested, evaluated, and reworked, as necessary, as recommended by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to placement of additional lifts. Each lift of fill should be tested for density and water content at a frequency of at least one test for every 2,500 square feet of compacted fill in the building areas and 5,000 square feet in pavement areas. Where not specified by local ordinance, one density and water content test should be performed for every 50 linear feet of compacted utility trench backfill. This testing frequency criteria may be adjusted during construction as specified by the geotechnical engineer of record.
In areas of foundation excavations, the bearing subgrade should be evaluated by the Geotechnical Engineer. If unanticipated conditions are observed, the Geotechnical Engineer should prescribe mitigation options.
In addition to the documentation of the essential parameters necessary for construction, the continuation of the Geotechnical Engineer into the construction phase of the project provides the continuity to maintain the Geotechnical Engineer’s evaluation of subsurface conditions, including assessing variations and associated design changes.
Shallow Foundations
We anticipate that the proposed service building and canopies may be supported on spread footings.
If the site has been prepared in accordance with the requirements noted in Earthwork, the following design parameters are applicable for shallow foundations.

1. The maximum net allowable bearing pressure is the pressure in excess of the minimum surrounding overburden pressure at the footing base elevation. An appropriate factor of safety has been applied. These bearing pressures can be increased by 1/3 for transient loads unless those loads have been factored to account for transient conditions.
2. Unsuitable or soft soils should be overexcavated and replaced per the recommendations presented in Earthwork.
3. Use of passive earth pressures require the sides of the excavation for the spread footing foundation to be nearly vertical and the concrete placed neat against these vertical faces or that the footing forms be removed, and compacted structural fill be placed against the vertical footing face. Assumes no hydrostatic pressure.

6. Differential settlements are noted for equivalent-loaded foundations and bearing elevation as measured over a span of 50 feet.
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 20 Settlement calculations were performed utilizing Westergaard and Hough’s methods4to estimate the static settlement for various foundations widths with an allowable settlement of 1/2-inch. This brings total anticipated settlement, including seismic settlement, for shallow foundations to approximately 2 inches with, differential settlement of approximately 1 inch over a distance of 40 feet. The structural engineer should confirm that foundations and supporting structure connections are designed to meet these tolerances.
Finished grade is defined as the lowest adjacent grade within five feet of the foundation for perimeter (or exterior) footings.
The allowable foundation bearing pressure applies to dead loads plus design live load conditions. The design bearing pressure may be increased by one-third when considering total loads that include wind or seismic conditions. The weight of foundation concrete below grade may be neglected in dead load computations.
Foundation should be reinforced as necessary to reduce the potential for distress caused by differential foundation movement. Foundation excavations should be observed by the geotechnical engineer. If the soil conditions encountered differ significantly from those presented in this report, supplemental recommendation will be required.
Design Parameters – Overturning and Uplift Loads
Uplift resistance of spread footings can be developed from the effective weight of the footing and the overlying soils. As illustrated on the subsequent figure, the effective weight of the soil prism defined by diagonal planes extending up from the top of the perimeter of the foundation to the ground surface at an angle, , of 20 degrees from the vertical can be included in uplift resistance. The maximum allowable uplift capacity should be taken as a sum of the effective weight of soil plus the dead weight of the foundation, divided by an appropriate factor of safety. A maximum total unit weight of 120 pcf should be used for the backfill.

Drilled Shaft Design Recommendations
Proposed canopies may be supported on drilled shafts. Total required embedment of the drilled shaft should be determined by the structural engineer based on structural loading and parameters provided in this report.
Drilled Shaft Axial Loading
Due to the presence of liquefiable soils between depths of about 23 feet and 30 feet below existing ground surface, drilled piers should not rely on end bearing. Furthermore we recommend that these piers be limited to a depth of 22 feet.
Allowable skin friction charts are attached to our Supporting Information section at the end of this report. The resistances presented for allowable side friction include a factor of safety of 2.5. These values are based on compressive capacity. If design includes an uplift scenario, then the design should be based on 60% of the presented values for allowable side friction but the calculation may also include the weight of the foundation.
Drilled piers should have a minimum (center-to-center) spacing of three diameters.
Closer spacing may require a reduction in axial load capacity. Axial capacity reduction can be determined by comparing the allowable axial capacity determined from the sum of individual piers in a group versus the capacity calculated using the perimeter and base of the pier group acting as a unit. The lesser of the two capacities should be used in design.
The allowable uplift capacities should only be based on the side friction of the shaft; however, the weight of the foundation should be added to these values to obtain the actual allowable uplift capacities for drilled shafts. Tensile reinforcement should extend to the bottom of shafts subjected to uplift loading.
Drilled Shaft Lateral Loading
Based on our review of the subsurface conditions in the area of the proposed hydrogen station, our laboratory testing, and the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) results, engineering properties have been estimated for the soils conditions as shown in the following table. Due to potential for disturbance within the upper soils around the shaft, lateral and axial capacity of soils within the upper 2 feet should be neglected.
Recommended geotechnical parameters for lateral load analyses by others of drilled shaft foundations have been developed for use in the LPILE computer program. The Geotechnical Engineering Report

The load capacities provided herein are based on the stresses induced in the supporting soil strata. The structural capacity of the shafts/piles should be checked to assure they can safely accommodate the combined stresses induced by axial and lateral forces.
Lateral deflections of shafts/piles should be evaluated using an appropriate analysis method, and will depend upon the pile’s diameter, length, configuration, stiffness and “fixed head” or “free head” condition. We can provide additional analyses and estimates of lateral deflections for specific loading conditions upon request. The load-carrying capacity of shafts/piles may be increased by increasing the diameter and/or length.
When piers are used in groups, the lateral capacities of the piers in the second, third, and subsequent rows of the group should be reduced as compared to the capacity of a single, independent pier. Guidance for applying p-multiplier factors to the p values in the p-y curves for each row of pier foundations within a pier group are as follows:
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 24
1. Front row: Pm = 0.8
2. Second row: Pm = 0.4
3. Third and subsequent row: Pm= 0.3
For the case of a single row of piers supporting a laterally loaded grade beam, group action for lateral resistance of piers would need to be considered when spacing is less than five pier diameters (measured center-to-center). However, spacing closer than 3D (where D is the diameter of the pier) is not recommended due to the potential for the installation of a new pier disturbing an adjacent installed pier, likely resulting in axial capacity reduction.
Drilled Shaft Construction Considerations
Drilling to design depths should be possible with conventional single flight power augers.
Due to presence of granular soils, caving of soils within the drilled shaft excavations should be anticipated. Temporary steel casing will likely be required to properly drill and clean shafts prior to concrete placement.
If foundation concrete cannot be placed in dry conditions, a tremie should be used for concrete placement. If shafts extend below the depth of groundwater, a tremie should be used for concrete placement.
Drilled shaft foundation concrete should be placed immediately after completion of drilling and cleaning. If foundation concrete cannot be placed in dry conditions, a tremie should be used for concrete placement. Due to potential sloughing and raveling, foundation concrete quantities may exceed calculated geometric volumes.
In the event drilled hole walls slough during drilling, temporary steel casing may be required to properly drilled shafts prior to concrete placement. We recommend the use of slurry drilling methods with polymers method to keep the solids in suspension during the drilling. Drilled shaft foundation concrete should be placed within 6 inches of the shaft base of the slurry-filled excavation immediately after completion of drilling and Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 25 cleaning. The tremie should remain inserted several feet into the fresh concrete as it displaces the slurry upward and until placement is complete. The slurry should have a sand content no greater than 1% at the time concrete placement commences. The maximum unit weight of the slurry should be established in consultation with Terracon.
As an alternative to temporary casing, the shaft excavation may be backfilled with a slurry mix in order to help stabilize sloughing sidewalls of the excavation, allowed to dry, and re-drilled through the backfill. The slurry mix design should be submitted to the Geotechnical Engineer for review and approval
If casing is used for drilled shaft construction, it should be withdrawn in a slow continuous manner maintaining a sufficient head of concrete to prevent infiltration of water or the creation of voids in shaft concrete. Shaft concrete should have a relatively high fluidity when placed in cased shaft holes or through a tremie. Shaft concrete with slump in the range of 6 to 8 inches is recommended.
Closely spaced shafts should be drilled and filled alternatively, allowing the concrete to set at least eight hours before drilling the adjacent shaft. All excavations should be filled with concrete as soon after drilling as possible. In no event should shaft holes be left open overnight.
Formation of mushrooms or enlargements at the tops of shafts should be avoided during shaft drilling. If mushrooms develop at the tops of the shafts during drilling, sono-tubes should be placed at the shaft tops to help isolate the shafts.
Free-fall concrete placement in drilled piers will only be acceptable if provisions are taken to avoid striking the concrete on the sides of the hole or reinforcing steel. The use of a bottom-dump hopper, or an “elephant's trunk” discharging near the bottom of the hole where concrete segregation will be minimized, is recommended.
We recommend that all drilled shaft installations be observed on a full-time basis by an experienced geotechnical engineer in order to evaluate that the soils encountered are consistent with the recommended design parameters. If the subsurface soil conditions encountered differ significantly from those presented in this report, supplemental recommendations will be required. The Geotechnical Engineer should observe the installation of drilled piers to verify the soil conditions and the diameter and depth of piers. Drilled piers should be constructed true and plumb.
Drilled pier end bearing surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned prior to concrete placement. A representative of the Geotechnical Engineer should inspect the bearing surface and foundation pier configuration. If the subsurface soil conditions encountered differ significantly from those presented in this report, supplemental recommendations will be required.

Floor Slabs
Description Recommendation
Interior floor system Slab-on-grade concrete
Floor slab support
Engineered fill extending to a minimum depth of 2 feet
below the bottom of foundations, or 3 feet below existing grade whichever is greater.
Subbase Minimum 4-inches of Aggregate Base
The use of a vapor retarder should be considered beneath concrete slabs on grade covered with wood, tile, carpet, or other moisture sensitive or impervious coverings, or when the slab will support equipment sensitive to moisture. When conditions warrant the use of a vapor retarder, the slab designer should refer to ACI 302 and/or ACI 360 for procedures and cautions regarding the use and placement of a vapor retarder.
Saw-cut control joints should be placed in the slab to help control the location and extent of cracking. For additional recommendations refer to the ACI Design Manual. Joints or cracks should be sealed with a water-proof, non-extruding compressible compound specifically recommended for heavy duty concrete pavement and wet environments.
Where floor slabs are tied to perimeter walls or turn-down slabs to meet structural or other construction objectives, our experience indicates differential movement between the walls and slabs will likely be observed in adjacent slab expansion joints or floor slab cracks beyond the length of the structural dowels. The Structural Engineer should account for potential differential settlement through use of sufficient control joints, appropriate reinforcing or other means.
Design parameters for floor slabs assume the requirements for Earthwork have been followed. Specific attention should be given to positive drainage away from the structure and positive drainage of the aggregate base beneath the floor slab.

3. Use of passive earth pressures require the sides of the excavation for the foundation to be nearly vertical and the concrete placed neat against these vertical faces or that the foundation forms be removed and compacted engineered fill be placed against the vertical foundation face
The lateral earth pressures herein do not include any factor of safety and are not applicable for submerged soils/hydrostatic loading. Additional recommendations may be necessary if such conditions are to be included in the design.
The design of retaining structures and shoring systems should consider surcharge loads imposed on the foundations. In addition, the design should take into consideration new and existing footing loads and anticipated vehicular loads in the vicinity of the proposed basement walls. In general, surcharge loads should be considered where they are located within a horizontal distance behind the wall equal to the height of the wall.
Surcharge loads acting at the top of the wall should be applied to the wall over the backfill as a uniform pressure over the entire wall height and should be added to the static earth pressures. Surcharge stresses due to point loads, line loads, and those of limited extent, such as compaction equipment, should be evaluated using elastic theory.
For the design of braced shoring, we recommend such shoring be designed using a rectangular-shaped distribution of lateral earth pressure of 23H psf, where H (in units of feet) is the height of the braced shoring. Surcharge loads from the drive lanes should be also considered in the design of the shoring.
Fill against foundation and retaining walls should be compacted to densities specified in the Earthwork section of this report. Compaction of each lift adjacent to walls should be Geotechnical Engineering Report

The design of the shored excavation should be performed by an engineer knowledgeable and experienced with the on-site soil conditions. The contractor should be aware that slope height, slope inclination or excavation depths should in no case exceed those specified in local, state or federal safety regulations, e.g., OSHA Health and Safety Standards for Excavation, 29 CFR Part 1926, or successor regulations. Such regulations are strictly enforced and, if not followed, the owner or the contractor could be liable for substantial penalties.
Pavements
General Pavement Comments
Pavement designs are provided for the traffic conditions and pavement life conditions as noted in Project Description and in the following sections of this report. A critical aspect of pavement performance is site preparation. Pavement designs noted in this section must be applied to the site which has been prepared as recommended in the Earthwork section.
Pavement Design Parameters
Asphalt concrete the Portland cement concrete pavement sections thickness was based on lab testing results. A lab-tested design R-Value of 9 was used to calculate the asphalt concrete pavement thickness sections and the Portland cement concrete pavement sections. R-value testing should be completed prior to pavement construction to verify the design R-value. R-value testing may be required prior to pavement construction to verify the design R-value.
The structural sections are predicated upon proper compaction of the utility trench backfills and the subgrade soils as prescribed by in Earthwork, with the upper 12 inches of subgrade soils and all aggregate base material brought to a minimum relative compaction of 95 percent in accordance with ASTM D 1557 prior to paving. The aggregate base should meet Caltrans requirements for Class 2 base.
Assuming the pavement subgrades will be prepared as recommended within this report, the following pavement sections should be considered minimums for this project for the traffic loading listed in the table below.
Pavement calculations are based on geotechnical specifications provided by Wal-Mart using the AASHTO 1993 method. Design criteria for both standard and heavy-duty Geotechnical Engineering Report

Pavement Drainage
Pavements should be sloped to provide rapid drainage of surface water. Water allowed to pond on or adjacent to the pavements could saturate the subgrade and contribute to premature pavement deterioration. In addition, the pavement subgrade should be Geotechnical Engineering Report
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station | Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, CA May 29, 2024 | Terracon Project No. LA245068
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 30 graded to provide positive drainage within the granular base section. Appropriate subdrainage or connection to a suitable daylight outlet should be provided to remove water from the granular subbase.
Pavement Maintenance
The pavement sections represent minimum recommended thicknesses and, as such, periodic upkeep should be anticipated. Preventive maintenance should be planned and provided for through an on-going pavement management program. Maintenance activities are intended to slow the rate of pavement deterioration and to preserve the pavement investment. Pavement care consists of both localized (e.g., crack and joint sealing and patching) and global maintenance (e.g., surface sealing). Additional engineering consultation is recommended to determine the type and extent of a costeffective program. Even with periodic maintenance, some movements and related cracking may still occur, and repairs may be required.
Pavement performance is affected by its surroundings. In addition to providing preventive maintenance, the civil engineer should consider the following recommendations in the design and layout of pavements:
■ Final grade adjacent to paved areas should slope down from the edges at a minimum 2%.
■ Subgrade and pavement surfaces should have a minimum 2% slope to promote proper surface drainage.
■ Install pavement drainage systems surrounding areas anticipated for frequent wetting.
■ Install joint sealant and seal cracks immediately.
■ Seal all landscaped areas in or adjacent to pavements to reduce moisture migration to subgrade soils.
■ Place compacted, low permeability backfill against the exterior side of curb and gutter.
■ Place curb, gutter and/or sidewalk directly on clay subgrade soils rather than on unbound granular base course materials.
General Comments
Our analysis and opinions are based upon our understanding of the project, the geotechnical conditions in the area, and the data obtained from our site exploration.
Variations will occur between exploration point locations or due to the modifying effects of construction or weather. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until during or after construction. Terracon should be retained as the Geotechnical Engineer, where noted in this report, to provide observation and testing Geotechnical Engineering Report

If variations are noted in the absence of our observation and testing services on-site, we should be immediately notified so that we can provide evaluation and supplemental recommendations.
Our Scope of Services does not include either specifically or by implication any environmental or biological (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the site or identification or prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials or conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination or pollution, other studies should be undertaken.
Our services and any correspondence are intended for the sole benefit and exclusive use of our client for specific application to the project discussed and are accomplished in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices with no thirdparty beneficiaries intended. Any third-party access to services or correspondence is solely for information purposes to support the services provided by Terracon to our client. Reliance upon the services and any work product is limited to our client and is not intended for third parties. Any use or reliance of the provided information by third parties is done solely at their own risk. No warranties, either express or implied, are intended or made.
Site characteristics as provided are for design purposes and not to estimate excavation cost. Any use of our report in that regard is done at the sole risk of the excavating cost estimator as there may be variations on the site that are not apparent in the data that could significantly effect excavation cost. Any parties charged with estimating excavation costs should seek their own site characterization for specific purposes to obtain the specific level of detail necessary for costing. Site safety and cost estimating including excavation support and dewatering requirements/design are the responsibility of others.
Construction and site development have the potential to affect adjacent properties. Such impacts can include damages due to vibration, modification of groundwater/surface water flow during construction, foundation movement due to undermining or subsidence from excavation, as well as noise or air quality concerns. Evaluation of these items on nearby properties are commonly associated with contractor means and methods and are not addressed in this report. The owner and contractor should consider a preconstruction/precondition survey of surrounding development. If changes in the nature, design, or location of the project are planned, our conclusions and recommendations shall not be considered valid unless we review the changes and either verify or modify our conclusions in writing.

Boring Layout and Elevations: Terracon personnel provided the boring layout using handheld GPS equipment (estimated horizontal accuracy of about ±10 feet) and referencing existing site features. Approximate ground surface elevations were estimated using Google Earth. If elevations and a more precise boring layout are desired, we recommend borings be surveyed.
Subsurface Exploration Procedures: We advanced the borings in the proposed fuel station with a truck-mounted drill rig using continuous hollow stem flight. Four samples were obtained in the upper 10 feet of each boring and at intervals of 5 feet thereafter.
Test samples were collected during drilling in general accordance with the appropriate ASTM methods using Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) and sampling using either standard split-spoon or Modified California samplers. A sampling spoon was driven into the ground by a 140 pound automatic hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12 inches of a normal 18 inch penetration was recorded as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) resistance value, also referred to as N-values. The N-values are indicated on the boring logs at the test depths. The samples were placed in appropriate containers, taken to our soil laboratory for testing, and classified by a geotechnical engineer.
For safety purposes, all borings were backfilled with auger cuttings after their completion.
We also observed the boreholes while drilling and at the completion of drilling for the presence of groundwater. Groundwater was encountered in boring B-1 at approximately
22.7 feet bgs.

The sampling depths, penetration distances, and other sampling information was recorded on the field boring logs. The samples were placed in appropriate containers and taken to our soil laboratory for testing and classification by a Geotechnical Engineer. Our exploration team prepared field boring logs as part of the drilling operations. These field logs included visual classifications of the materials observed during drilling and our interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples. Final boring logs were prepared from the field logs. The final boring logs represent the Geotechnical Engineer's interpretation of the field logs and include modifications based on observations and tests of the samples in our laboratory.
Laboratory Testing
The project engineer reviewed the field data and assigned laboratory tests. The laboratory testing program included the following types of tests:
■ Moisture Content
■ Dry Unit Weight
■ Atterberg Limits
■ Compaction
■ Swell Consolidation Test
■ Direct Shear
■ Corrosivity
■ R-value
■ BTEX
The laboratory testing program often included examination of soil samples by an engineer. Based on the results of our field and laboratory programs, we described and classified the soil samples in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System.

Water levels indicated on the soil boring logs are the
levels measured in the borehole at the times indicated.
Groundwater level variations will occur over time. In
low permeability soils, accurate determination of
groundwater levels is not possible with short term
water level observations.
General Notes
Location And Elevation Notes
Exploration point locations as shown on the Exploration Plan and as noted on the soil boring logs in the form of Latitude and Longitude are approximate. See Exploration and Testing Procedures in the report for the methods used to locate the exploration points for this project. Surface elevation data annotated with +/- indicates that no actual topographical survey was conducted to confirm the surface elevation. Instead, the surface elevation was approximately determined from topographic maps of the area.
Soil classification as noted on the soil boring logs is based Unified Soil Classification System. Where sufficient laboratory data exist to classify the soils consistent with ASTM D2487 "Classification of Soils for Engineering Purposes" this procedure is used. ASTM D2488 "Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure)" is also used to classify the soils, particularly where insufficient laboratory data exist to classify the soils in accordance with ASTM D2487. In addition to USCS classification, coarse grained soils are classified on the basis of their in-place relative density, and fine-grained soils are classified on the basis of their consistency. See "Strength Terms" table below for details. The ASTM standards noted above are for reference to methodology in general. In some cases, variations to methods are applied as a result of local practice or professional judgment.
Exploration/field results and/or laboratory test data contained within this document are intended for application to the project as described in this document. Use of such exploration/field results and/or laboratory test data should not be used independently of this document.

2 Table 2 shows a net increase to the impervious area fractions within DMA 2 and DMA 9B only. All other adjustments improved the pervious surfaces and maintained the same effective impervious fraction or improved it.
Per the existing approved WQMP report in appendix B the site is being treated using a flow-based Oldcastle Precast BioPod Units operating in parallel. See appendix B for more information pertaining to the BMPs in place on the site.
The methodology for the fuel station and affected changes are in align with Santa Ana Watershed Guidance Documents section 2.3.1 and utilizes the Santa Ana Watershed BMP Design Flowrate Worksheet. 3 1.3 Adjusted BMP Calculations

TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
FOR THE PROPOSED
WALMART FUEL STATION
IN THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
INTRODUCTION
Purpose and Study Objectives
This Traffic Impact Analysis has been prepared to address the traffic-related effects of the proposed Walmart Fuel Station at 29260 Central Avenue in the City of Lake Elsinore. This traffic study has been conducted in accordance with the requirements stated in the City of Lake Elsinore Traffic Impact Analysis Preparation Guide (June 2020, revised November 2022).
This report includes a description of existing traffic conditions in the surrounding area, estimated project trip generation and distribution, future traffic growth, and an assessment of project-related effects on the transportation system. Where necessary, circulation system improvements have been identified to address project-related effects at the study locations.
Project Overview
The applicant proposes to construct a new fuel station with twenty fueling positions and a 1,618 square-foot convenience store within the existing parking lot of a Walmart Neighborhood Market located east of the intersection of Central Avenue and Dexter Avenue. The project location is shown in Figure 1. The project site plan is shown on Figure 2. The project is anticipated to open in 2026.
Note that the convenience store square footage has increased since approval of the study Scoping Agreement (previously 1,556 square feet). The change in square footage does not impact trip generation, and therefore no changes are required to the previously approved scope.
Additionally, as of July 24, 2025, the project site plan has been revised to include a total of 16 vehicle fueling positions. Prior to the revision, the site plan reflected a configuration including 20 fueling positions, which was included as part of the approved study Scoping Agreement. Per discussion with City staff, in order to maintain a conservative analysis and assess worst-case project impacts, this Traffic Impact Analysis will evaluate the 20 fueling position configuration.
The proposed project will be in an existing, shared-use parking lot. Existing ingress and egress will be facilitated via four existing driveways into the Walmart Neighborhood Market parking lot. Two full-access driveways, one on Cambern Avenue and one on Dexter Avenue, and two right-in-right-out driveways, one on Cambern Avenue and one on Central Avenue allow direct access to the proposed project.

ANALYSIS SCENARIOS AND METHODOLOGY
Analysis Scenarios
Based on the City of Lake Elsinore Traffic Impact Analysis Preparation Guide, the project will be evaluated in the morning and evening peak hours for the following conditions:
• Existing Conditions
• Opening Year 2026
• Opening Year 2026 with Project
• Opening Year 2026 Cumulative
• Opening Year 2026 Cumulative with Project
If the analysis shows that improvements are required based on project-related effect criteria, then the Opening Year 2026 Cumulative with Project scenario will be analyzed.
Intersection Analysis – HCM Methodology
This study includes evaluation of morning and evening peak hour operations at eight study intersections, including four project driveways. Peak hour intersection operations at study intersections and driveways were evaluated using Synchro 12 software per methods prescribed in the Highway Capacity Manual 7th Edition (HCM), consistent with the City of Lake Elsinore Traffic Impact Analysis Preparation Guide.
For signalized intersections, the HCM methodology estimates the average delay (in average seconds per vehicle) for each of the movements through the intersection, considering a number of factors, including the number of lanes, volume of traffic, and the signal timing phasing.
For unsignalized intersections, the HCM methodology analysis determines the average total delay for each vehicle making any movement from the stop-controlled minor street, as well as left turns from the major street. Delay values are calculated based on the relationship between traffic on the major street and the availability of acceptable gaps in the traffic stream through which conflicting traffic movements can be made.
HCM methodology will not analyze stop-controlled intersections with 4+ through lanes on the major street. In order to generate HCM results for intersection #5 (Driveway 1 at Central Avenue) a dummy intersection was created in between Intersections #1 and #5 to decrease the number of southbound through lanes from 4 to 3. The southbound through lanes are inaccessible via the project driveway due to a raised median; therefore, there will be no impact to LOS at Intersection #5.
The HCM delay forecast translates to a Level of Service designation, ranging from LOS A to LOS F. A summary of each Level of Service and the corresponding delay is provided in the following chart:

Traffic Impact Analysis August 2025
LEVEL OF SERVICE DEFINITIONS
Level of
Service
Description
A
No approach phase is fully utilized by traffic and no vehicle waits longer than one red indication. Typically, the approach appears quite open, turns are made easily and nearly all drivers find freedom of operation.
B
This service level represents stable operation, where an occasional approach phase is fully utilized, and a substantial number are approaching full use. Many drivers begin to feel restricted within platoons of vehicles.
C
This level still represents stable operating conditions. Occasionally drivers may have to wait through more than one red signal indication, and backups may develop behind turning vehicles. Most drivers feel somewhat restricted but not objectionably so.
D
This level encompasses a zone of increasing restriction, approaching instability at the intersection. Delays to approaching vehicles may be substantial during short peaks within the peak period; however, enough cycles with lower demand occur to permit periodic clearance of developing queues, thus preventing excessive backups.
E
Capacity occurs at the upper end of this service level. It represents the most vehicles that any particular intersection approach can accommodate. Full utilization of every signal cycle is seldom attained no matter how great the demand.
F
This level describes forced flow operations at low speeds, where volumes exceed capacity.
These conditions usually result from queues of vehicles backing up from a restriction downstream. Speeds are reduced substantially, and stoppages may occur for short or long periods of time due to the congestion. In the extreme case, both speed and volume can drop to zero.

Traffic Impact Analysis August 2025
Level of Service Standards
The City of Lake Elsinore, in general, requires that peak-hour intersections operate at LOS “D” or better to be considered acceptable. Therefore, any City intersection operating at LOS “E” or LOS “F” will be considered deficient. However, LOS “E” will be considered acceptable in both the Main Street Overlay area and the Ballpark District Planning Districts in an effort to increase activity and revitalize these areas. Any intersection operating at LOS “F” will be considered deficient.
Thresholds of Significance
A project impact would be considered significant if the addition of project traffic causes the LOS to go from an acceptable to an unacceptable level.

Transit Service
Transit service within the project area is provided by Riverside Transit Agency, which serves the cities of Riverside, Lake Elsinore, and other surrounding communities. The closest bus stop in the project vicinity is located at the intersection of Cambern Avenue and Central Avenue, approximately
0.25 miles north of the project site. A description of the bus routes serving the project area is provided below.
Route 8 – Route 8 operates within the communities of Lake Elsinore and Wildomar. Route 8 operates on weekdays from approximately 5:40 AM to 8:30 PM with approximately 60-minute headways (the time between bus arrivals). On the weekends, Route 8 operates from approximately 6:00 AM to 7:30 PM with approximately 60-minute headways.
Route 9 – Route 9 operates within the communities of Perris and Lake Elsinore. Route 9 operates on weekdays from approximately 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM with approximately 90-minute headways. On the weekends, Route 9 operates from approximately 6:00 AM to 7:30 PM with approximately 60-minute headway.
Existing Traffic Volumes
Existing morning peak hour and evening peak hour counts were conducted at the study intersections on a typical weekday in April 2025, while schools were in session. Counts were collected using pole mounted cameras, which were post-processed and reviewed for accuracy by count technicians prior to distribution. Peak hour intersection traffic count worksheets are provided in Appendix B. Existing morning and evening peak hour volumes are presented in Figure 4.
To verify legitimacy of data collected at the I-15 NB and SB ramp intersections, Kimley-Horn corresponded with the count collection team (Counts Unlimited) in June 2025. The count team rereviewed volumes at the intersections and found the volumes to be correct relative to what was observed. Additionally, the count team noted all lanes were open, and no construction or accidents occurred during the collection period. The count team noted that visually, higher-than-usual congestion was observed for vehicles heading toward Central Avenue (northbound), which may have factored into the collected volumes.
The observed congestion indicates the collected volumes are constrained, and do not reflect the true demand at the intersections. To properly account for demand, the additional vehicles queued at the I-15 NB and SB ramp intersections were added to the existing turning movement counts. Per discussion with the City, queued vehicle volumes were derived using measured peak hour queue lengths via Google Maps typical traffic data, consistent with the peak hours of the collected turning movement data. To maintain a conservative analysis, queue lengths were taken from the PM peak hour and applied to both peak hours, since the lengths appear greater. The lengths were assumed to be equivalent to lane/ramp capacity for the SB off-ramp and northbound through movement at the I-15 SB ramp intersection, and to the NB off-ramp and northbound through movement at the I-15 NB Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station - 10 - Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc.
Traffic Impact Analysis August 2025
ramp intersection. The queue lengths were subsequently divided by 25 feet per vehicle to determine the number of queued vehicles. The queued vehicles were then distributed to either a left-turn, rightturn, or through movement where applicable, based on the existing movement distribution from the collected turning movement counts.
Peak Hour Operating Conditions
Intersection Level of Service analysis was conducted for the morning and evening peak hours using the analysis procedures and assumptions described previously in this report. The results of the intersection analysis for Existing Conditions are shown on Table 1. Copies of Existing Conditions intersection analysis worksheets are provided in Appendix C.
Review of this table indicates that the following study intersections would operate at an unacceptable Level of Service:
• #3 – I-15 NB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS E
• #4 – I-15 SB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM – LOS E
Opening Year 2026 Conditions
The project opening year (the year the project would be constructed and occupied) is anticipated to be 2026. Based on consultation with City staff and RIVCOM link-level volume annual growth, an ambient growth rate of 2.0% per year to Opening Year 2026 was applied to existing traffic volumes.
It should be noted that RIVCOM link-level volume data was interpolated for years 2025 to 2026 for Central Avenue, Dexter Avenue, Collier Avenue, 3rd Street, and Camino Del Norte within the project vicinity. Interpolation encompassed a base model year of 2018 and a future model year of 2045. The resulting weighted average growth rate was 1.93%, which was rounded to 2.00% to maintain a conservative analysis. The link volumes for each roadway are included at the end of Appendix B. The resulting peak hour turning movement volumes at the study locations are shown in Figure 5.
Peak Hour Operating Conditions
Intersection Level of Service analysis was conducted for the morning and evening peak hours for the Opening Year 2026 conditions. The results are shown on Table 2. Intersection analysis worksheets for Opening Year 2026 conditions are provided in Appendix C.
Review of this table indicates that with the addition of Cumulative Project traffic, the following study intersections would operate at an unacceptable Level of Service:
• #3 – I-15 NB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS E
It should be noted that several intersections demonstrated a decrease in delay from Existing to Opening Year conditions. This is due to the use of 0.95 Peak Hour Factor (PHF) in Opening Year conditions per City guidelines. The 0.95 PHF results in an adjusted flow (Vehicles Per Hour) lower than Existing conditions, as existing PHFs were far lower than 0.95 for most approaches.

PROJECT TRAFFIC
Project Trip Generation
Peak hour trips for the proposed project were calculated using the trip generation rates published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition. Trip rates are based on the following ITE Land Use Category:
• LU 944 – Gasoline/Service Station
It is recognized that not all inbound and outbound trips to the proposed project will be “new” trips on the roadway system in the vicinity of the project site. Some trips to the project site will consist of “pass-by” trips -- motorists who are already traveling on the surrounding roadways from one place to another. Common pass-by trips for a gas station would be individuals who stop at the project site on the way to work, home, or school. In this instance, pass-by trips would also encompass diverted link trips, where vehicles traveling on I-15 exit to make a stop at the fuel station, and enter back on to I-15 once fueling is complete.
Based on the latest version of the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, a pass-by rate of 63% in the morning peak hour and 57% in the evening peak hour were applied to the trips for the proposed land use. Since the Trip Generation Manual does not provide pass-by rates for daily trip generation, the average of the AM and the PM pass-by trip rate of 60% was applied.
The resulting trip rates and the project trip generation estimates are shown on Table 3. The project is estimated to generate approximately 1,376 trips daily, with 76 trips in the morning peak hour (38 inbound, 38 outbound) and 120 trips in the evening peak hour (60 inbound, 60 outbound).
Trip Distribution and Assignment
Trip distribution assumptions for the project were based on the proximity to regional and local roadways and existing travel patterns. Trip distribution percentages at each study intersection were applied to the project trip generation to determine the project trips through each intersection. Project trip distribution assumptions are shown in Figure 6. Based on the proposed project trip distribution, project trips were assigned through the study intersections. Figure 7 shows new project trips that would be added to the study intersections.
However, these trips do not include pass-by trips, which would typically be added to project driveways but not to non-adjacent study intersections; pass-by trips are assumed to be part of the existing flow of traffic until reaching the project site (or project vicinity with diverted trips). Pass-by trips are shown on Figure 8 and are added to the project-related volumes shown on Figure 7, in order to determine the total project trips at each study intersection. The total project trips are shown on Figure 9.

CUMULATIVE CONDITIONS
Cumulative Projects
In addition to ambient growth, Cumulative Project traffic volumes were added to existing traffic volumes. Information about Cumulative Projects in the area was provided by the City of Lake Elsinore. Cumulative Projects consist of any project that has been approved but is not yet constructed/occupied, and projects that are in various stages of the application and approval process but have not yet been approved. A summary of Cumulative Projects in the project vicinity and the trip generation associated with each is provided on Table 5. The locations of the Cumulative Projects are shown on Figure 11. Cumulative project trip generation and locations were previously approved by City staff as part of the Scoping Agreement.
Trip generation information for the Cumulative Projects was derived either from approved traffic studies, where available; or developed by Kimley-Horn if approved traffic studies were not available.
Likewise, trip distribution and assignment for the Cumulative Projects were either derived from approved traffic studies, where available; or were developed by Kimley-Horn if approved traffic studies were not available. Project information and trip distribution assumptions for Cumulative Projects are provided in Appendix D. Traffic volumes associated with Cumulative Projects were compiled for each of the study intersections and are shown on Figure 12.
Opening Year 2026 Cumulative
Trips generated by Cumulative Projects and the ambient traffic growth in Opening Year 2026 were added together to obtain traffic volumes for Opening Year 2026 Cumulative conditions and are shown in Figure 13.
Peak Hour Operating Conditions
Intersection Level of Service analysis was conducted for the Opening Year 2026 Cumulative conditions. The results of the intersection analysis are shown on Table 6. Intersection analysis worksheets for this scenario are provided in Appendix C.
Review of this table indicates that with the addition of Cumulative Project traffic, the following study intersections would operate at an unacceptable Level of Service:
• #1 – Cambern Avenue at Central Avenue: PM – LOS F

Traffic Impact Analysis August 2025
I-15/SR-74 (CENTRAL AVENUE) INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The City of Lake Elsinore, in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is proposing improvements to the Interstate 15 (I-15)/State Route 74 (SR-74) (Central Avenue) interchange located in Lake Elsinore. The I-15/SR-74 Interchange Improvement Project is needed to improve traffic conditions, reduce congestion at the interchange, and help alleviate traffic at surrounding local intersections within the Project area.
Per discussion with City staff and review of preliminary concept design plans published on the City’s website, the I-15/SR-74 (Central Avenue) Interchange Improvement Project proposes improvements to several study intersections analyzed as part of this TIA. Proposed improvements to the intersections are as follows:
Intersection #1: Cambern Avenue at Central Avenue
• NB Approach: Road widening includes adding a third though lane. • SB Approach: Road widening includes adding a second left turn lane, adding a third dedicated through lane and replacing existing dedicated right turn lane with a shared through-right turn lane.
• EB Approach: Road widening includes adding a second left turn lane and replacing existing shared through-right lane with a separate dedicated through lane and a dedicated right turn lane.
• WB Approach: Replacing existing dedicated right turn lane with a shared through-right turn lane and reducing the number of existing left turn lanes from two to one.
Intersection #2: Dexter Avenue at Central Avenue
• NB Approach: Road widening includes adding a second left turn lane and replacing the existing dedicated right lane with a shared through-right lane. • SB Approach: Replacing the existing four dedicated through lanes with two dedicated through lanes and a shared through-right lane. A hardscaped median is proposed which could accommodate a dedicated left turn lane in the future.
• WB Approach: Road widening includes adding a dedicated through lane.
Intersection #3: I-15 NB Ramps at Central Avenue
• NB Approach: Replacing existing left turn lane with a fourth through lane and eliminating northbound left turn movements with a hardscaped median. • SB Approach: Removing existing right turn lane and eliminating southbound right turn movements.
• EB Approach: Removing the existing I-15 NB on-ramp entirely and replacing with a northbound loop off-ramp that provides direct connectivity to SR-74 (Central Avenue) southbound.
• WB Approach: Replacing all existing lanes with three dedicated right turn lanes, eliminating all through and left turn movements with a new proposed median.
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station - 34 - Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc.
Traffic Impact Analysis August 2025
Intersection #4: I-15 SB Ramps at Central Avenue
• NB Approach: Replacing the existing dedicated right lane with a through-right turn lane. • SB Approach: Adding a third through lane.
• EB Approach: Adding a second dedicated left turn lane and replacing the shared left-throughright lane with a shared through-left turn lane. • WB Approach: On-ramp widening with an addition of a third lane.
Intersection #5: Driveway 1 at Central Avenue
• NB Approach: Adding a dedicated left turn lane.
• Signalization of southbound approach, eastbound approach, and northbound left turn.
Intersection #6: Driveway 2 at Central Avenue
• EB: Adding a dedicated right turn lane.
Furthermore, the project proposes additional improvements to the I-15 freeway and surrounding roadways/intersections which will significantly impact the operations at the study intersection.
Additional improvements are as follows:
• Adding a signalized I-15 NB hook on and off-ramps to the west of Dexter Avenue as a substitute for the eliminated I-15 NB on-ramp at Central Avenue. • The northbound hook off-ramp features a single lane exit from I-15 and provides one left and one right-turn lane at the Dexter Avenue intersection.
More information about this project is provided in Appendix F.
RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS
Opening Year 2026 Cumulative with Project
Based on the City of Lake Elsinore LOS standards and criteria noted earlier in the report, it is shown that the LOS at the following intersections are unacceptable under Opening Year 2026 Cumulative with Project conditions:
#1 – Cambern Avenue at Central Avenue: PM – LOS F
#3 – I-15 NB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS F, PM – LOS E #4 – I-15 SB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS E, PM – LOS E Per discussion with City staff, the deficiencies observed at Intersections #3 and #4 will be alleviated with the improvements planned in the I-15/SR-74 Interchange Improvement Project mentioned earlier in this report. Therefore, no further mitigation will be proposed for Intersection #3 and #4.
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station - 35 - Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc.
Traffic Impact Analysis August 2025
Implementation of the following improvements are recommended to address the deficiencies at Intersection #1:
• Increase cycle length to 120 seconds
• Add protected eastbound left turn phasing
• Add westbound right turn overlap phasing
• Increase relative green time for phases four and seven A summary of the intersection operation before and after implementation of the recommended improvements is provided on Table 8. Copies of intersection analysis worksheets with improvements are provided in Appendix E.1.
To account for potential existing or future signal coordination along the studied corridor of Central Avenue, further LOS analysis was conducted with the improvements recommended above, where all signalized study intersections along Central Avenue were coordinated. The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether the recommended modified cycle length at Intersection #1 would negatively affect corridor coordination. Upon implementation of coordinated signal timing at Intersection #1 through #4, a 0.3 second delay increase and 3.6 second delay increase were observed at Intersection #1 and #2 respectively. Similarly, a 6.2 second delay decrease and 4.4 second delay decrease were observed at Intersection #3 and #4 respectively. The observed changes in delay were not significant enough to change the LOS designation previously observed at these intersections; subsequently, the recommended timing improvements would not negatively affect coordinated Central Avenue corridor signal timing, should it be present or implemented in the future. The results of the analysis are summarized in Table 9. Copies of intersection analysis worksheets with improvements on coordinated Central Avenue corridor are provided in Appendix E.2.
Recommended improvements may include a combination of fee payments to established programs (i.e., TUMF), construction of specific improvements, payment of a fair-share contribution toward future improvements, or a combination of these approaches. The fair share proportion for nonprogrammed improvements at deficient study intersections is shown on Table 10. For programmed improvements, the developer will pay into the regional transportation fee program.

DRIVEWAY QUEUING ANALYSIS
The 95th percentile queuing capacity was analyzed at the project driveways. The 95th percentile queue is defined as the queue length that has only a 5% probability of being exceeded during the analysis period: in other words, the typical worst-case queue. The goal of the analysis was to demonstrate the 95th percentile queue can be contained within the provided storage without disrupting the flow of traffic at surrounding drive aisles in the Walmart parking lot. The distance per vehicle was assumed to be 20 feet, to account for the length of the passenger vehicle and spacing from the next queued vehicle. For the 95th percentile queue, the following stop-controlled egress movements were evaluated for Opening Year 2026 Cumulative and Opening Year 2026 Cumulative with Project scenarios to compare and determine the impact of project related trips on driveway queuing.
• Westbound movements at Intersection #5 (Driveway 1 at Central Avenue) • Northbound movements at Intersection #6 (Driveway 2 at Cambern Avenue) • Northbound movements at Intersection #7 (Driveway 3 at Cambern Avenue) • Southbound movements at Intersection #8 (Driveway 4 at Dexter Avenue) The results of the analysis are summarized below. Driveway queuing analysis worksheets are provided in Appendix G.1.

• Morning Peak Hour 95th Percentile Queue – 62 ft (just over 3 passenger vehicles) • Evening Peak Hour 95th Percentile Queue – 112 ft (just under 6 passenger vehicles) Intersection #8 (Driveway 4 at Dexter Avenue)
• Queue Storage – 390 ft (155 ft to the nearest driveway access) Opening Year 2026 Cumulative
• Morning Peak Hour 95th Percentile Queue – 529 ft (just over 26 passenger vehicles) • Evening Peak Hour 95th Percentile Queue – 484 ft (just over 24 passenger vehicles) Opening Year 2026 Cumulative with Project
• Morning Peak Hour 95th Percentile Queue – 465 ft (just over 23 passenger vehicles) • Evening Peak Hour 95th Percentile Queue – 415 ft (just under 21 passenger vehicles) Based on the HCM 95th percentile queueing analysis, it was found that the longest driveway queues are expected to be approximately 529 ft during AM peak hour under Opening Year 2026 Cumulative condition, on the southbound movement on Driveway #4 at Dexter Avenue. The existing storage lengths before intersecting with an internal drive aisle is 155 ft (to the nearest driveway access).
There may be instances where vehicle queues conflict with the on-site drive aisle.
At intersection #8 (Driveway 4 at Dexter Avenue), the excessive queuing is largely due to the diverted pass by trips exiting Driveway 4 via southbound right turn and attempting to make a westbound left turn at Intersection #2 (Dexter Avenue at Central Avenue) to get back on I-15 NB. Intersection #2 provides only one protected westbound left turn lane; the number of vehicles waiting to turn would fill the available lane capacity, resulting in a backup of vehicles on Driveway 4 who are unable to make the southbound right.
However, with the addition of the dedicated westbound through lane at Intersection #2 (Dexter Avenue at Central Avenue) and proposed new I-15 NB hook on and off-ramps to the west of Dexter Avenue (mentioned earlier as part of the I-15/SR-74 (Central Avenue) Interchange Improvement Project) it is expected that driveway queues at Intersection #8 (Driveway 4 at Dexter Avenue) will be reduced significantly, since vehicles can travel straight through Dexter Avenue to get to the I-15 NB on-ramp rather than waiting to make a westbound left turn. It should be noted that excessive westbound queuing is present both with and without the project at Intersection #2.

Driveway Queue Mitigation
While the proposed I-15/SR-74 (Central Avenue) Interchange Improvement project is projected to be completed by opening of the Walmart Fuel Station project, the timeline is subject to change and may experience delays. In the event the proposed I-15/SR-74 (Central Avenue) Interchange Improvement project is not completed before opening of the proposed Walmart Fuel Station, the 95th percentile driveway queues may impact site circulation. The following intersection demonstrated a 95th percentile queue exceeding available storage:
• #8 - Driveway 4 at Dexter Avenue: PM (Opening Year 2026 Cumulative Plus Project) With the assumption that the proposed I-15/SR-74 (Central Avenue) Interchange Improvement project would not be completed before opening of the proposed Walmart Fuel Station, the following improvements are recommended to alleviate driveway queueing deficiencies mentioned above:
Intersection #2 (Dexter Avenue at Central Avenue)
• Increase cycle length to 120 seconds and increase relative green time for phase three (westbound left turn).
Increasing the cycle length to 120 seconds and increasing relative green time for phase three would allow the westbound left turn queues at Intersection #2 to clear more frequently, thereby allowing southbound right turns from Driveway 4 to occur more frequently. Therefore, the timing adjustments at Intersection #2 in conjunction with the improvements at Intersection #1 would also reduce 95th percentile queues to be contained within available storage at Intersection #8. The 95th percentile queuing results before and after application of the improvements at Intersection #2 and the earlier mentioned improvements at Intersection #1 are shown in Table 11. Copies of driveway queuing analysis worksheets with improvements on are provided in Appendix G.2.
While the proposed improvements would reduce 95th percentile queues to be contained within available storage at Driveway 4, the reduced queues (up to 200 feet) may still periodically obstruct the adjacent intersecting commercial access driveway (approximately 155 feet north of Dexter Avenue). Accordingly, per discussion with City staff, the City will condition a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) to be developed to further mitigate on-site queuing.
OFF-SITE (I-15 OFF RAMPS) QUEUING ANALYSIS
Queue lengths at the I-15 NB and SB off-ramps were assessed at the following locations under Existing, Opening Year 2026, Opening Year 2026 Plus Project, Opening Year 2026 Cumulative and Opening Year 2026 Cumulative Plus Project conditions:
• Intersection #3: I-15 NB Ramps at Central Avenue
o Westbound Left Turn
o Westbound Through Movements
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station - 42 - Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc.
Traffic Impact Analysis August 2025
o Westbound Right Turn
• Intersection #4: I-15 SB Ramps at Central Avenue
o Eastbound Left Turn
o Eastbound Through Movements
o Eastbound Right Turn
Results of the I-15 NB and SB off-ramps queuing analysis are summarized in Table 12. Based on the results, all analyzed movements at both Intersections #3 and #4 will exceed the existing storage length under Opening Year 2026 Cumulative conditions and Opening Year 2026 Cumulative Plus Project conditions in the PM peak period.
However, with the proposed I-15 NB hook on and off-ramps to the west of Dexter Avenue, mentioned earlier as part of the I-15/SR-74 (Central Avenue) Interchange Improvement Project, it is expected that excessive queueing at Intersection #3 will be reduced significantly as a result of the separate northbound loop off-ramp providing direct southbound connectivity to Central Avenue, whereas the modified “existing” off-ramp would provide direct northbound connectivity to Central Avenue.
Similarly, it is expected that excessive queueing at Intersection #4 will be reduced significantly as a result of the additional lane, geometry adjustments and increased storage length for the southbound off-ramp. Off-site queuing analysis worksheets are provided in Appendix G.1 TABLE 11

SITE ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
Vehicular access to the project site would be provided via four existing driveways located on Central Avenue, Cambern Avenue, and Dexter Avenue. The existing driveways are one right-in right-out driveway at Central Avenue, one right-in right-out driveway at Cambern Avenue, one full-movement driveway at Cambern Avenue, and one full-movement driveway on Dexter Avenue, respectively.
Based on project trip generation and typical fueling times, there are expected to be no queues at the proposed fuel pumps on site, and thereby no impacts to site circulation in the immediate vicinity of the project.
PARKING ASSESSMENT
The City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code has established regulations regarding minimum parking requirements for all development sites, based on the type of land use. This parking assessment will encompass the proposed Walmart Fuel Station and the adjacent existing Walmart Supercenter as the proposed project site is located in the shared parking lot with the existing Walmart Supercenter.
A summary of the City’s parking requirements for the project site is provided in Table 13. Per LEMC Section 17.148.030.D of the City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the parking requirement for the proposed project site is 7 parking spaces and the required parking spaces for the Walmart Supercenter is 618. The total parking requirement for the existing Walmart Supercenter and the proposed project site is 625 parking spaces, resulting in a surplus of 1 parking space.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
• The project site is located to the east of Central Avenue and Dexter Avenue intersection. • Relative to the site plan configuration evaluated as part of this analysis, the project proposes to construct a new fuel station with twenty fueling positions and a 1,618 square-foot convenience store.
• Vehicular access to the project site would be provided via one right-in right-out driveway at Central Avenue, one right-in right-out driveway at Cambern Avenue, one full-movement driveway at Cambern Avenue, and one full-movement driveway on Dexter Avenue. • Morning and evening peak hour operating conditions were evaluated at the study intersections for the following study scenarios:
o Existing Conditions
o Opening Year 2026
o Opening Year 2026 with Project
o Opening Year 2026 Cumulative
o Opening Year 2026 Cumulative with Project
• Under Existing Conditions, all study intersections currently operate at an acceptable LOS. • Under Opening Year 2026 Conditions, all study intersections would continue to operate at an acceptable LOS.
• Under Opening Year 2026 with Project conditions, all study intersections would continue to operate at an acceptable LOS.
• The project is estimated to generate approximately 1,376 net new daily trips with 76 net new trips in the AM peak hour and 120 net new trips in the PM peak hour. • Under Existing conditions, the following study intersections would operate at an unacceptable Level of Service:
o #3 – I-15 NB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS E
o #4 – I-15 SB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM – LOS E
• Under Opening Year 2026 conditions, the following study intersections would operate at an unacceptable Level of Service:
o #3 – I-15 NB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS E
• Under Opening Year 2026 Plus Project conditions, the following study intersections would operate at an unacceptable Level of Service:
o #3 – I-15 NB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS E
o #4 – I-15 SB Ramps at Central Avenue: PM – LOS E
Lake Elsinore Walmart Fuel Station - 48 - Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc.
Traffic Impact Analysis August 2025
• Under Opening Year 2026 Cumulative conditions, the following study intersections would operate at an unacceptable Level of Service:
o #1 – Cambern Avenue at Central Avenue: PM – LOS F
o #3 – I-15 NB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS F, PM – LOS E o #4 – I-15 SB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS E, PM – LOS E • Under Opening Year 2026 Cumulative with Project conditions, the following study intersections would operate at an unacceptable Level of Service:
o #1 – Cambern Avenue at Central Avenue: PM – LOS F
o #3 – I-15 NB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS F, PM – LOS E o #4 – I-15 SB Ramps at Central Avenue: AM - LOS E, PM – LOS E • Recommended improvements were provided to address the deficiencies at Intersection #1- Cambern Avenue and Central Avenue, including the following:
o Increase cycle length to 120 seconds
o Add protected eastbound left turn phasing
o Add westbound right turn overlap phasing
o Increase relative green time for phases four and seven • Recommended improvements may include a combination of fee payments to established programs, construction of specific improvements, payment of a fair-share contribution toward future improvements, or a combination of these approaches. • The City of Lake Elsinore, in cooperation with Caltrans, is proposing improvements to the Interstate 15 (I-15)/State Route 74 (SR-74) (Central Avenue) interchange. • Proposed improvements to the Interstate 15 (I-15)/State Route 74 (SR-74) (Central Avenue) interchange would reduce driveway, and off-site (I-15 Off Ramps) queueing deficiencies currently observed with existing lane configurations.
• Improvements are recommended at Intersection #2 (Dexter Avenue at Central Avenue) to alleviate driveway queuing deficiencies observed only in the event where the proposed I-15/SR74 (Central Avenue) Interchange Improvement project is not completed before the opening of the proposed Walmart Fuel Station. These potential improvements include the following:
o Increase cycle length to 120 seconds and increase relative green time for phase three (westbound left turn).

Traffic Impact Analysis August 2025
• While the proposed improvements would reduce 95th percentile queues to be contained within available storage at Driveway 4, the reduced queues may still periodically obstruct the adjacent intersecting commercial access driveway. Accordingly, per discussion with City staff, the City will condition a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) to be developed to further mitigate on-site queuing. • Based on the City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the parking requirement for both the proposed project and the adjacent existing Walmart Supercenter would be 625 parking spaces.
The proposed project would provide 65 spaces in addition to the 626 existing parking spaces, resulting in a surplus of 1 parking space, compared to City code.

RE: Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Scope of Work for the Proposed Walmart Fuel Station at 29260 Central Ave in the City of Lake Elsinore
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. is pleased to submit this Scope of Work for the proposed Walmart Fuel Station at 29260 Central Ave in the City of Lake Elsinore. The scope of the traffic impact analysis is summarized below. This scope of work is based on a review of the City of Lake Elsinore Traffic Impact Analysis Preparation Guide (June 2020, Revised November 2022).
Project Description
The applicant proposes to construct a new fuel station with twenty fueling positions and a 1,556 square-foot convenience store within the existing parking lot of a Walmart Neighborhood Market located east of the intersection of Central Avenue and Dexter Avenue. The project location is shown in Figure 1. The project site plan is shown on Figure 2. The project is anticipated to open in 2025.
The proposed project will be in an existing, shared-use parking lot. Existing ingress and egress will be facilitated via four existing driveways into the Walmart Neighborhood Market parking lot.
Two full-access driveways, one on Cambern Avenue and one on Dexter Ave, allow direct access to the proposed project. Two right-in-right-out driveways, one on Cambern Avenue and one on Central Avenue provide access to the parking lot.
Study Scenarios
The following study scenarios will be included for analysis:
· Existing Conditions
· Opening Year 2025
· Opening Year 2025 with Project
· Opening Year 2025 Cumulative
· Opening Year 2025 Cumulative with Project
It should be noted that while the project is anticipated to open at the end of 2025, ambient growth will still be applied consistent with a true opening year relative to existing conditions.
Traffic Growth
Opening Year 2025 traffic, without the addition of the proposed project traffic, will be determined by growing existing volumes by 2% per year, and by adding traffic from cumulative projects in the City to the study intersections. A list of cumulative projects was provided by the City and is summarized on Table 1, with the associated traffic for each cumulative project within a 2-mile radius of the project site. The location of these cumulative projects is provided on Figure 3.
