BACKGROUND
HISTORIC SETTING
CITY OF LONG BEACH HISTORY
In 1866, Jonathan Temple sold Rancho Los Cerritos to Flint, Bixby & Co. who used the land to raise sheep. The company appointed Jotham Bixby to manage the business at Rancho Los Cerritos until the land was sold to William E. Willmore in 1880. Willmore subdivided the land and by 1882 had named it Willmore City. In 1887, a Los Angeles-based land syndicate known as the “Long Beach Land and Water Company” bought out Willmore, and the community was renamed “Long Beach” after the suggestion of Belle Lowe, whose husband was the town’s first postmaster. (Schipske 2011).
By 1889, the Southern Pacific Railroad connected Long Beach with the San Pedro Line. The arrival of the railroad represented an important step in the area’s population and commercial expansion. The success of this growth resulted in the City’s incorporated in 1897. Quickly following incorporation, the Long Beach School District, a local newspaper called the Long Beach Journal, the Long Beach Hotel, along with the Methodist Resort Association’s Chautauqua Assembly and Tabernacle at American Street and Third Avenue were established.
In addition, general stores, brick-making facilities, an electric-lighting plant, a water company, and telephone services were quickly constructed to support the City’s development. (Schipske 2011).
In the 1920s, six of America’s largest oilfields were discovered in Huntington Beach, Torrance, Inglewood, Seal Beach, and Signal Hill in Long Beach. The increase in drilling and demand for labor resulted in a wave of population growth and a subsequent housing crisis. In 1926, the Port of Long Beach was established and by 1938 the U.S. Navy began development on the largely manmade Terminal Island.
From the 1930s through World War II, more U.S. Navy personnel lived in Long Beach than in any other city in the United States (LSA 2017). Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the subsequent entrance of the United States into World War II, numerous military bases, aircraft assembly plants, and other war-related facilities and industries were established in southern California. Major installations were located in Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Westminster, and Long Beach. A workforce of 16,000 supported the Long Beach Naval Shipyard throughout World War II, making the Naval Shipyard the largest employer in Long Beach during the war.
Following the end of World War II and during Long Beach’s period of suburbanization, the city’s pre-established central business districts fell into decline. In the 1950s, with the rise of car culture throughout the United States and residential development away from the city center, local Historic Built Environment Evaluation for the Long Beach Market Place Mixed-Use Project Cogstone 16
shopping centers and retail stores were built (Sapphos Environmental, Inc. 2009). In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the area surrounding the Project area consisted of oil fields to the north, the marina and dense residential neighborhood of Naples to the south, and the residential area of Seal Beach to the east of the San Gabriel River. The Pacific Coast Highway and 2nd Street connected these areas (Frame Finder 1980).
PROJECT AREA HISTORY
The earliest known USGS historical topographic map of the Project area depicts the area as a marshland belonging to Alamitos Bay (Downey; 1:62500, 1896). By 1925, there is no physical change to the Project area, however, the 1925 topographic map depicts the Long Beach City boundaries just to the south (Long Beach; 1:24000, 1925). The 1942 Downey topographic map shows the Project area is, by that time, within the boundaries of an oil field (Downey; 1:62500, 1942).
The Project area is still within the boundaries of an oil field in 1950, with the addition of several access roads and three wells with associated towers (NETROnline 1952). By 1972, the access roads remain but the oil rigs have been removed (NETROnline 1972). By 1977, a paved parking lot is present with several tree plantings that remain today (FrameFinder 1977). By 1980, the El Torito at 6605 E. Pacific Coast Highway and the two-story commercial office building at 6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway are present (Figure 4; FrameFinder 1980). By 1988, the two-story commercial office buildings at 6621 E. Pacific Coast Hwy and 6695 E. Pacific Coast Highway are present (NETROnline 1988).

LONG BEACH MARKET PLACE OFFICE PARK AND THE BIXBY RANCH COMPANY The Long Beach Marketplace Office Park is comprised of three similarly designed two-story commercial buildings: 6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway (built 1979), 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway (built 1980), and 6695 E. Pacific Coast Highway (built 1983). A review of documents and contemporary application permits lists the Bixby Ranch Company as the project applicant.
According to the initial 1978 site plan, the Marketplace Office Park was designed to include seven office buildings, an extension of Shopkeeper Road, elongation/realignment of Studebaker Road, landscaping, and hardscaped parking areas (Figure 5). Ultimately, only two of the buildings proposed in this plan were constructed (now 6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway and 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway). The two-story office building at 6695 E. Pacific Coast Highway was not included in the original 1979 site plan but was constructed very similar to the style and materials of its preexisting neighbors.
As multi-tenant office buildings, many businesses have occupied both 6615 and 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway throughout the buildings’ period of use. Types of business include (but are not limited to): stock brokerage firms, real estate firms, wealth management, health services, international shipping companies, and domestic manufacturing offices.

EL TORITO
In 1954, Larry J. Cano (1924-2014), the founder of El Torito, purchased an old Polynesian restaurant in the City of Encino and converted it into a sit-down Mexican restaurant (Figure 6).
At the time, Mexican food in the United States was not considered mainstream and, according to a former El Torito chief executive, there was no such thing as casual Mexican dining (Woo 2014).
Mr. Cano served as an Air Force captain during World War II and the Korean War. After his military service, he earned his business degree from the University of Southern California. He planned to continue his education by attending law school but his summer job as a bartender at the Bali Hali sent him down a new path. Following the death of the owner, Mr. Cano and his wife purchased the restaurant and converted the Polynesian theme to a sit-down Mexican eatery.
The first few months were a struggle for the Canos and their restaurant; however, El Torito’s famed fajitas, margaritas, table-side-made guacamole, and staff dressed as charros helped to launch the business into a nationwide chain (Woo 2014). The success of El Torito was such that by the end of the decade additional locations were opened in Hollywood and Toluca Lake.
Considered a dining experience, El Torito drew customers from all walks of life including movie stars such as Lana Turner, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, and Michael Jackson (Woo 2014). 6615 E. Pacific Coast Hwy
6621 E. Pacific Coast Hwy
Historic Built Environment Evaluation for the Long Beach Market Place Mixed-Use Project Cogstone 20
El Torito rose to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1978, Mr. Cano sold his chain of 22 restaurants to W.R. Grace & Co. (later sold to Restaurant Enterprises Group in 1986), however, he remained as company president for ten years. During his period as president, El Torito expanded across the United States from 22 to 190 locations with annual sales by 1987 exceeding $425 million (Woo 2014). In 1988, Mr. Cano stepped down as company president.
Over the following decade, the franchise began a gradual decline. The business was purchased in 1994 by Koo Koo Roo Enterprises (originally Foodmaker and finally renamed to Prandium Inc. in 1999). By 1999, the chain included 101 locations with a total sales of $221 million (Reuters 2000). In 2000, due to substantial debt, Prandium Inc. sold all but six of its El Torito locations to the Long Beach-based Acapulco Acquisition Corp. At the time of the sale, 18 El Torito restaurants were located in Orange County and the company headquarters was based in Irvine, California (Hernandez 2000).
Currently, El Torito is owned by Xperience Restaurant Group (XRG). A total of 31 El Torito restaurants remain in operation under XRG, 26 of which are located in Orange County (XPERIENCE Restaurant Group 2023).

Abel Stearns was one of the richest and most influential citizens of Los Angeles during his lifetime. Born in Massachusetts in 1798, he eventually made his way to California and settled in Los Angeles around 1833. Mr. Stearns made a large amount of money in trade and eventually purchased large swaths of real estate including Ranchos Los Alamitos, Las Bolas, La Laguna de Los Angeles, and half interest in Los Coyotes. In 1849 he was a member of the first Constitutional Convention representing the district of Los Angeles. Mr. Stearns became one of the largest land and cattle owners in California. His wife Dona Arcadia, who was the daughter of Don Juan Bandini, inherited the entire estate upon his death in 1871 (Barrows 1899).
HISTORIC SOCIETY CONSULTATION
On March 7, 2023 a request for information was sent via USPS to the Historical Society of Long Beach and the Los Angeles Conservancy. On March 27, Cogstone followed up on the initial request via email to both the Historical Society of Long Beach and the Los Angeles Conservancy.
Historic Built Environment Evaluation for the Long Beach Market Place Mixed-Use Project Cogstone 22
Cogstone received an automated response from Julie Bartolotto, Executive Director of the Historical Society of Long Beach, stating she would be out until April 4. On April 6, 2023, a response was received via email from Jen Malone, who offered Cogstone a research appointment if further information was required regarding the buildings, land, use, City Manager Files, etc.
The Historical Society made no further comment regarding the Project. As Cogstone had already procured that information through alternative resources, an appointment with the Society was not requested.
A response was received via email on March 29, 2023, from Erik Van Breene of the Los Angeles Conservancy. Mr. Van Breene offered to check for additional information regarding the Project but also recommended Cogstone contact Long Beach Heritage for a request for information. On March 3, 2023, a request for information was sent to Long Beach Heritage through their website’s email/contact system. No response has been received from Long Beach Heritage and no further comment has been made by the Los Angeles Conservancy regarding the Project.

SURVEY
The built environment resources survey typically identifies and verifies the location of all structures and buildings within the Project area aged 45 years or older. This study was completed in compliance with the Southeast Area Specific Plan (SEASP) Mitigation Measure CUL-1 which states that “Future development or redevelopment projects on or near buildings or structures 45 years of age or older shall require an intensive-level historical evaluation.” In total, three buildings were evaluated as part of this study. This includes two office buildings within the Long Beach Marketplace Office Park; 6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway (built 1979) located within the Project area and 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway (built 1980) located adjacent to the Project area. The third building evaluated for this study is a vacant El Torito restaurant (built 1977/1978) located adjacent to the Project area at 6605 E. Pacific Coast Highway.
The buildings adjacent to the Project area (the El Torito restaurant at 6605 E. Pacific Coast Highway and the office building at 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway) were documented and evaluated for potential historic significant in compliance with Mitigation Measure CUL-1 and to determine if the Project would have a negative impact on the historic setting if either of these buildings were determined historically significant. While 6605 E. Pacific Coast Highway meets the minimum threshold of being 45 years old, 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway (43 years old) does not quite meet this threshold. Out of an abundance of caution and to maintain compliance with Mitigation Measure CUL-1, 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway was included in this study in the event that this is nearing 45 years of age an may reach that age threshold before this Project is complete. By that standard, the office building within the Project area at 6695 E. Pacific Coast Highway was not evaluated as part of this study as it does not meet the minimum 45 year threshold (built in 1983; 40 years old) and it is not anticipated that this building will reach the minimum threshold before this Project is complete.
Once identified, built environment resources were examined to ascertain if they are recommended eligible for listing as a historic resource at the local, state, or national level and if the original integrity of the resource remains intact. The seven aspects of integrity which are considered as part of a determination of eligibility include location, design, setting, materials, feeling, workmanship, and association.
RESULTS
On March 2, 2023, Cogstone’s architectural historian Shannon Lopez visited the Project area.
Ms. Lopez photographed and documented the exterior of the two office buildings at 6615 E.
Pacific Coast Highway and 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway and the vacant El Torito restaurant (6605 E. Pacific Coast Highway). As the two office buildings are part of the same office park, Historic Built Environment Evaluation for the Long Beach Market Place Mixed-Use Project Cogstone 24
both buildings were recorded on the same set of DPR 523 forms. The El Torito was newly recorded on one set of Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 forms.
EL TORITO
This one-story restaurant is part of Marketplace Long Beach (6401-6605 E. Pacific Coast Highway), an outdoor shopping plaza that consists of various restaurants, shops, a movie theater, and health services. Built-in late 1977-early 1978, this building was constructed in a style that draws heavily from both the Mission Revival style (most popular in California from 1890-1920), the Spanish Revival style (1915-1940), and Modern Style (Figures 7 and 8). Elements of this combination of styles include the widely overhanging open eaves, red tile roof, stucco wall cladding, asymmetrical façade, and dramatic front door and door surrounds (more typical of the Spanish Revival style).
The footprint of this building is irregular but generally follows a rectangular shape. The main body of this building is one-story with a two-story tower centered in the middle of the southwest façade. The rooflines consist of a mixture of gabled, shed, and flat roofs with the flat (more modern-styled) roofline relegated to the middle and back of the building. The gable and shedstyled roofs are clad with red clay tapered mission tiles. Unusual for Mission or Spanish Revival styles but seen with other El Torito locations, the tiles are double or triple-stacked and fixed to each other with thick layers of a combination of mortar and caulking. This gives the roofline a very rough and disheveled appearance, possibly an attempt to give the building the feeling of a much older structure. The exposed wood rafter tails are painted reddish brown and cut in a curved pattern; features exhibit substantial signs of material decay.
The exterior of all elevations is clad in stucco. Historically, Mission Revival and Spanish Revival wall surfaces are clad with smooth (or lightly textured) stucco containing smaller aggregate particles. This building’s stucco cladding, however, has a coarse aggregate combined with a more sweeping troweling pattern, giving it a rough textured look.
The main entrance is located at the southwest façade of the two-story tower. Typical of the Spanish Revival style is the more elaborate door and door surrounds which, for this building, include stylized wood-paneled double doors with multi-paned glass panels organized in a pattern reminiscent of the mission-shaped parapet. A decorative wood panel matching the color and style of the double doors is immediately above this entrance. The doors are flanked by two matching concrete pilasters. These pilasters are clad in plaster, textured, and painted to imitate carved stone blocks; the crumbling plaster at the base of the pilasters reveals the concrete beneath. These faux stone pilasters support a short plastered balcony. A decorative wood paneled false door with a faux stone lintel overhead is at the second story level of the tower. The door is flanked by two matching pilasters supporting an ornamental projection designed to imitate the mission’s arched parapet; these features are assumed to be painted or plaster covered Historic Built Environment Evaluation for the Long Beach Market Place Mixed-Use Project Cogstone 25
concrete. The roofing at the top of the tower is gabled and clad with red Spanish-styled tiles.
The exposed rafter tails show notable signs of decay.
A one-story wing projects from both the northwest and southeast elevations of the tower (main entrance). These wings are asymmetrical in design. Both share the same shed-style roof and are clad in multiple layers of red Spanish tile. A tall but narrow stucco-clad chimney that projects approximately 8-10 feet above the roofline is at the end of the southeast wing. Two tall chimneys (with very wide bases) that rise 10-12 feet above the roofline are at the end of the northwest wing. All three chimneys have circular chimney pots.
As the building is vacant, the majority of windows are shuttered behind wood panelboards. The windows still visible at the northwest elevation are wood framed and consist of 16 small rectangular panes. The surrounding window casing, sill, lintel, and sash are clad in rough stucco/plaster.
Secondary doors intended for staff and emergency exits are located at the northwest and southeast elevations. Two of these doors are wood paneled and the third is flush steel.
The flat-roofed section of the building at the back of the restaurant (northeast elevation) has no fenestration. Decorative details are limited to a simple exterior cornice molding, a stucco-clad string course several feet below the roof level, and three rectangular pilasters with tapered ends at the northwest elevation.

LONG BEACH MARKETPLACE OFFICE PARK
The Long Beach Marketplace Office Park is comprised of three similarly designed two-story commercial buildings: 6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway (built 1979), 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway (built 1980), and 6695 E. Pacific Coast Highway (built 1983). All three buildings are designed in the Modern Style with Shed style elements. Pursuant to Mitigation Measure CUL-1, for this study, only 6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway and 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway were documented and evaluated for potential eligibility for listing at the national, state, and local level.
The office building within the Project area at 6695 E. Pacific Coast Highway was not evaluated as part of this study as it does not meet the minimum 45 year threshold (built in 1983; 40 years old) and it is not anticipated that this building will reach the minimum threshold before this Project is complete.
6615 E. PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY
6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway very closely matches the footprint, design, and materials of the neighboring office building at 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway. This commercial building is two stories, with a rectangular shaped footprint, textured stucco exterior wall cladding, and a large open-air atrium set in the center of the footprint (Figures 9 and 10). The roofline is comprised of six sheet metal clad skillion roofs (four large primary- rectangular in shape; two small secondary- square in shape). The second story level projects over the first story by approximately two to three feet. Wide corrugated metal sheets that simulate a broken belt course are situated between the first and second story windows in large sections of all elevations.
Matching material is found just below the eave level (gutters) on the majority of all elevations, forming a projecting fascia. The majority of windows at the second story level are recessed and alternate in sets of two and four sliding windows (frames appear to be steel).
Historic Built Environment Evaluation for the Long Beach Market Place Mixed-Use Project Cogstone 27
Entrances are located at the western and eastern corners of the building. The primary entrance at the building’s western corner consists of one set of double glass doors which are accompanied by side and transom lights (steel frames). A short balcony, approximately three feet deep and seven feet long, with a steel safety railing is immediately above this entrance. An exterior singlepaneled door with a floor vent leading into a small electrical room is adjacent to the first floor entrance. This electrical room is part of a semi-detached unit that partially cuts away from the main body of the building. This unit’s skillion roof is set several feet lower than the neighboring roof lines and has two square fixed windows at the second-story level. In addition to the electrical room, this unit also encloses a storage room and staircase that connect the first and second floors. An ADA-compliant ramp and entrance are at the southwest-facing side of this semi-detached unit. The corresponding door is glass with a transom window and a two-pane sidelight. A short balcony, approximately one foot by three feet, with a steel safety railing is located directly above this entrance.
A similar semi-detached two-story segment which encloses both men's and women’s bathroom facilities is at the eastern corner of the building. Two separate entrances are situated between this unit and the main body of the building. The main entrance (facing southeast) consists of a pair of double doors accompanied by sidelights and a transom light. A short balcony, approximately two feet deep by ten feet long, is above this entrance. Access is provided via a sliding glass door with associated sidelights. Two sets of double glass doors are at the northeastfacing section between the semi-detached building segment and the main body of the building.
A narrow balcony, approximately two feet deep and fifteen feet long, is above this entrance.
Access to this balcony is provided by two sets of sliding glass doors; a single utility room door is set between these glass doors.
Matching large wrap-around balcony areas are at the north and south corners of the building.
Two large windows and a steel-framed glass door are at the northern balcony level. Two large sliding glass doors and one large two-paned glass window are at the southern balcony level.

This commercial building is two stories, with a rectangular shaped footprint, textured stucco exterior wall cladding, and a large open-air atrium set in the center of the footprint (Figures 11 and 12). The roofline is comprised of six sheet metal clad skillion roofs (four large primary- rectangular in shape; two small secondary- square in shape). The second story level projects over the first story by approximately two to three feet. Wide corrugated metal sheets that simulate a broken belt course are situated between the first and second story windows in large sections of all elevations.
Matching material is found just below the eave level (gutters) on the majority of all elevations, forming a projecting fascia. The majority of windows at the second story level are recessed and alternate in sets of two and four sliding windows (frames appear to be steel).

There are four primary entrance points to this building, two at the northwest corner of the building, one at the southeast elevation, and the fourth at the northern end of the southeast elevation. A semi-detached unit that partially cuts away from the main body of the building is at the northwest corner of the building. This unit’s skillion roof is set several feet lower than the neighboring roof lines and has two square fixed windows at the second-story level. The two entrances located at this end of the building are in the recessed areas between the semi-detached unit and the main body of the building. One entrance facing northwest is comprised of a set of steel-framed double glass doors with sidelights and transom windows. A short balcony, approximately three feet deep and seven feet long, with a steel safety railing is immediately above this entrance. Two matching wheelchair-accessible steel-framed glass double doors are at the southwest corner of the building. A balcony area approximately three feet deep and 18 feet long is directly overhead. Two steel-framed sliding glass doors and a single panel with a floor vent door leading to a small storage closet are on the balcony level.
A projecting canopy constructed in 1981 is at the southeast elevation of the building. This canopy has a sloped metal sheet roof and is supported by two rectangular stucco-clad pillars.
The entrance consists of steel-framed glass double doors. Large ground-to-ceiling rectangular two-paned windows are on both sides of these double doors. Another semi-detached unit that partially cuts away from the main body of the building is at the southeast corner. A set of steelframed glass double doors is in the recessed area at the southeast end of the building. An exterior single-paneled door with a floor vent leading into a small electrical room is adjacent to the first-floor entrance. A short balcony, approximately three feet deep and seven feet long, with a steel safety railing is immediately above this entrance. A single steel framed glass door (secondary entrance) is at the northwest-facing side of this semi-detached unit. A short balcony, approximately three feet deep and six feet long, with a steel safety railing is directly above this entrance.

NATIONAL, CALIFORNIA, AND LOCAL EVALUATION
To be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) a resource must:
A/1. be associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history;
B/2. be associated with the lives of significant persons of the past; C/3. embody distinctive characteristics of type, period, or method of construction or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic value, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity those components may lack individual distinction; or
D/4. yielded or may likely yield information important in history or prehistory.
Pursuant to Mitigation Measure CUL-1, 6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway, 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway, and 6605 E. Pacific Coast Highway were evaluated under local guidelines for potential listing as a city Landmark or contributor of a Landmark District (City of Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC) Chapter 2.63 Cultural Heritage Commission; City of Long Beach 2015) (Appendix C).
As defined in LBMC Chapter 2.63, 2.63.020 Definitions:
• Landmark: means any property or improvement, manmade or natural that has special historical, cultural, archeological, architectural or aesthetic value as part of the heritage of the City, State, or United States and has been designated as a Landmark pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter.
• Landmark District: means any grouping of related properties that has a special historical, cultural, archeological, architectural or aesthetic value as part of the heritage of the City, State or United States and has been designated as a Landmark District pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter.
CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATION OF LOCAL LANDMARKS AND LOCAL
LANDMARK DISTRICTS
A cultural resource qualifies for designation as a Landmark if it retains integrity and represents one (1) or more of the following criteria:
A. It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of the City's history; or
B. It is associated with the lives of persons significant in the City's past; or Historic Built Environment Evaluation for the Long Beach Market Place Mixed-Use Project Cogstone 32
C. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or it represents the work of a master or it possesses high artistic values; or D. yielded or may likely yield information important in history or prehistory.
A group of cultural resources qualify for designation as a Landmark District if it retains integrity as a whole and meets the following criteria:
A. The grouping represents a significant and distinguishable entity that is significant within a historic context.
B. A minimum sixty percent (60%) of the properties within the boundaries of the proposed landmark district qualify as a contributing property.
In addition to having significance using the above criteria, resources must have “integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association” to the period of significance (36 CFR Part 60). The period of significance is the date or span of time within which significant events transpired, or significant individuals made their important contributions.
Integrity is the authenticity of a historical resource’s physical identity as evidenced by the survival of characteristics or historic fabric that existed during the resource’s period of significance. Alterations to a resource or changes in its use over time may have historical, cultural, or architectural significance. Simply, resources must retain enough of their historic character or appearance to be recognizable as historical resources and to convey the reasons for their significance.

Criteria A/1 and Local Criteria A
Is this resource associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history?
Historic Built Environment Evaluation for the Long Beach Market Place Mixed-Use Project Cogstone 35
By the time this restaurant was officially opened in 1978, over 20 additional El Torito locations were in operation within the United States. The context of this location within the overall history of the franchise is in the middling period of the company’s height of success. This location was constructed decades after the early founding of El Torito and it did not contribute to the early expansion of the company. Therefore, this building is recommended not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Place (NRHP) under Criterion A or the CRHR under Criterion 1 or for listing as a Landmark or contributor of a Landmark District under Local Criterion A.
Criteria B/2 and Local Criteria B
Is this resource associated with the lives of significant persons in our past? This building was constructed in 1977/1978 and while the El Torito franchise is associated with respected restauranteur and businessman Larry J. Cano, this location was not associated with Mr.
Cano’s early years of business development or any significant event in his life. In addition, this restaurant is not associated with any other person or persons considered significant to national, state, or local history. Therefore, this building is recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion B or the CRHR under Criterion 2or for listing as a Landmark or contributor of a Landmark District under Local Criterion B.
Criteria C/3 and Local Criteria C
Does this resource embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction?
This building is a combination of multiple architectural styles including Mission Revival, Spanish Revival, and some Modern style elements. This building was designed by the El Torito parent company and intended to exude an idealized corporate imagining of a Spanish Mission/ Mexican Revival aesthetic. While an interesting design, this building is not a true representation of any of the architectural styles used in its design nor does it reflect the material, techniques, or workmanship typically associated with those styles. Therefore, this building is recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C or the CRHR under Criterion 3or for listing as a Landmark or contributor of a Landmark District under Local Criterion C.
Criteria D/4 and Local Criteria D
Has this building yielded or is it likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory?
Criteria D/4 is most often applied to archaeological sites and districts but can also apply to buildings, structures, and/or objects. This building does not exhibit a local variation of a standard design or construction technique that can yield important information (such as construction expertise or availability of local materials).

RECOMMENDATIONS
The two office buildings within the Long Beach Marketplace Office Park; 6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway (built 1979) located within the Project area and 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway (built 1980) located adjacent to the Project area are recommended not eligible for listing at the local, state, or national level due to a lack of significance. The vacant El Torito restaurant (6605 E.
Pacific Coast Highway) located adjacent to the Project area is also recommended not eligible for listing at the local, state, or national level due to lack of significance. No further work is required regarding the historic analysis of 6695 E. Pacific Coast Highway. This analysis satisfies the requirements set forth by Mitigation Measure CUL-1 and therefore implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-2 is not necessary.
No further work is recommended.

P3a. Description:
This one-story restaurant is part of Marketplace Long Beach (6401-6605 E. Pacific Coast Hwy), an outdoor shopping plaza that consists of various restaurants, shops, a movie theater, and health services. Built in late 1977-early 1978, this building was constructed in a style that draws heavily from both the Mission Revival style (most popular in California from 1890-1920), the Spanish Revival style (1915-1940), and Modern Style. Elements of this combination of styles include the widely overhanging open eaves, red tile roof, stucco wall cladding, asymmetrical façade, and dramatic front door and door surrounds (more typical of the Spanish Revival style).
The footprint of this building is irregular but generally follows a rectangular shape. The main body of this building is one story with a two-story tower centered in the middle of the southwest façade. The rooflines consist of a mixture of gabled, shed, and flat roofs with the flat (more modern-styled) roofline relegated to the middle and back of the building. The gable and shed-styled roofs are clad with red clay tapered mission tiles. Unusual for Mission or Spanish Revival styles but seen with other El Torito locations, the tiles are double or triple-stacked and fixed to each other with thick layers of a combination of mortar and caulking. This gives the roofline a very rough and disheveled appearance, possibly an attempt to give the building the feeling of a much older structure. The exposed wood rafter tails are painted reddish brown and cut in a curved pattern; the features exhibit substantial signs of material decay. See Continuation Sheet.

A review of historic newspaper articles and USDA historic aerials indicates this building was constructed in late 1977-early 1978. An advertisement for employment opportunities published in the Los Angeles Times infers both the opening of the restaurant in 1978 and the building’s consistent occupation by the same business (El Torito) until its closure in 2017. A comparison of a 1980 USDA Aerial to current aerials (provided by Google Maps 2023) shows little to no notable alterations in the building’s footprint.

Is this resource associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history?
By the time this restaurant was officially opened in 1978, over 20 additional El Torito locations were in operation within the United States. The context of this location within the overall history of the franchise is in the middling period of the company’s height of success. This location was constructed decades after the early founding of El Torito and it did not contribute to the early expansion of the company. Therefore, this building is recommended not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Place (NRHP) under Criterion A or the CRHR under Criterion 1 or for listing as a Landmark or contributor of a Landmark District under Local Criterion A.

BUILDING DESCRIPTION CONTINUED
The exterior of all elevations is clad in stucco. Historically, Mission Revival and Spanish Revival wall surfaces are clad with smooth (or lightly textured) stucco containing smaller aggregate particles. This building’s stucco cladding, however, has a coarse aggregate combined with a more sweeping troweling pattern, giving it a rough textured look.
The main entrance is located at the southwest façade of the two-story tower. Typical of the Spanish Revival style is the more elaborate door and door surrounds which, for this building, include stylized wood-paneled double doors with multi-paned glass panels organized in a pattern reminiscent of the mission-shaped parapet. A decorative wood panel matching the color and style of the double doors is immediately overhead this entrance. Two matching concrete pilasters flank both sides of the doors. These pilasters are clad in plaster, textured, and painted to imitate carved stone blocks (the crumbling plaster at the base of the pilasters reveals the concrete beneath). These faux stone pilasters support a short plastered balcony. A decorative wood paneled false door with a faux stone lintel overhead is at the second story of this tower. The door is flanked by two matching pilasters supporting an ornamental projection designed to imitate the mission’s arched parapet; these features are assumed to be painted or plaster covered concrete. The roofing at the top of the tower is gabled and clad with red Spanish-styled tiles. The exposed rafter tails show notable signs of decay.
A one-story wing projects from both the northwest and southeast elevations of the tower (main entrance). These wings are asymmetrical in design. Both share the same shed-style roof and are clad in multiple layers of red Spanish tile. A tall but narrow stucco-clad chimney that projects approximately 8-10 feet above the roofline is at the end of the southeast wing. Two tall chimneys (with very wide bases) that rise 10-12 feet above the roofline are at the end of the northwest wing. All three chimneys have circular chimney pots.
As the building is vacant, the majority of windows are shuttered behind wood panelboards. The windows still visible at the northwest elevation are wood framed and consist of 16 small rectangular panes. The surrounding window casing, sill, lintel, and sash are clad in rough stucco/plaster.
Secondary doors intended for staff and emergency exits are located at the northwest and southeast elevations. Two of these doors are wood paneled and the third is flush steel.
The flat-roofed section of the building at the back of the restaurant (northeast elevation) has no fenestration. Decorative details are limited to a simple exterior cornice molding, a stucco-clad string course several feet below the roof level, and three rectangular pilasters with tapered ends at the northwest elevation.
BACKGROUND HISTORY
BRIEF HISTORY OF EL TORITO
In 1954, Larry J. Cano (1924-2014) purchased an old Polynesian restaurant in the City of Encino and converted it into a sit-down Mexican restaurant. At the time, Mexican food in the United States was not considered mainstream and, according to a former El Torito chief executive, there was no such thing as casual Mexican dining (Woo 2014). Mr. Cano served as an Air Force captain during the World War and the Korean War.
After his military service, Mr. Cano earned his business degree from USC. He planned to continue his education by attending law school but his summer job as a bartender at the Bali Hali sent him down a new path. Following the death of the owner, Mr. Cano and his wife purchased the restaurant and converted the Polynesian theme to a sit-down Mexican eatery. The first few months were a struggle for the Canos and their restaurant, however, El Torito’s famed fajitas, margaritas, table-side-made guacamole, and staff dressed as charros helped to launch the business into a nationwide chain(Woo 2014). The success of El Torito was such that by the end of the decade additional locations were opened in Hollywood and Toluca Lake. Considered a dining experience, El Torito drew customers from all walks of life including movie stars such as Lana Turner, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, and Michael Jackson (Woo 2014).
El Torito rose to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1978, Mr. Cano sold his chain of 22 restaurants to W.R. Grace & Co. (later sold to Restaurant Enterprises Group in 1986), however, he remained as company president for ten years.
During his period as president, El Torito expanded across the United States from 22 to 190 locations with annual sales by 1987 exceeding $425 million (Woo 2014). In 1988, Mr. Cano stepped down as company president.

Over the following decade, the franchise began its gradual decline. The business was purchased in 1994 by Koo Koo Roo Enterprises (originally Foodmaker and finally renamed to Prandium Inc. in 1999). By 1999, the chain included 101 locations with a total sales of $221 million (Reuters 2000). In 2000, due to substantial debt, Prandium Inc. sold all but six of its El Torito locations to the Long Beach-based Acapulco Acquisition Corp. At the time of the sale, 18 El Torito restaurants were located in Orange County and the company headquarters was based in Irvine, California (Hernandez 2000).
Currently, El Torito is owned by Xperience Restaurant Group (XRG). A total of 31 El Torito restaurants remain in operation under XRG, 26 of which are located in Orange County (XPERIENCE Restaurant Group 2023).
NRHP/CRHR EVALUATION CONTINUED
Criteria B/2 and City of Long Beach Local Criteria B
Is this resource associated with the lives of significant persons in our past? This building was constructed in 1977/1978 and while the El Torito franchise is associated with respected restauranteur and businessman Larry J. Cano, this location was not associated with Mr. Cano’s early years of business development or any significant event in his life. In addition, this restaurant is not associated with any other person or persons considered significant to national, state, or local history. Therefore, this building is recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion B or the CRHR under Criterion 2 or for listing as a Landmark or contributor of a Landmark District under Local Criterion B.
Criteria C/3 and City of Long Beach Local Criteria C
Does this resource embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction? This building is a combination of multiple architectural styles including Mission Revival, Spanish Revival, and some Modern style elements. This building was designed by the El Torito parent company and intended to exude an idealized corporate imagining of a Spanish Mission/ Mexican Revival aesthetic. While an interesting design, this building is not a true representation of any of the architectural styles used in its design nor does it reflect the material, techniques, or workmanship typically associated with those styles. Therefore, this building is recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C or the CRHR under Criterion 3 or for listing as a Landmark or contributor of a Landmark District under Local Criterion C.
Criteria D/4 and City of Long Beach Local Criteria D
Has this building yielded or is it likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory?
Criteria D/4 is most often applied to archaeological sites and districts but can also apply to buildings, structures, and/or objects. This building does not exhibit a local variation of a standard design or construction technique that can yield important information (such as construction expertise or availability of local materials). Due to a lack of significance, this resource is recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion D or the CRHR under Criterion 4 or for listing as a Landmark or contributor of a Landmark District under Local Criterion D.

Pacific Coast Highway is one of three buildings that make up the office park. A review of 1979 building plans originally refers to the project at the “Marketplace Office Park” and list Charles Kober Associates as the architectural firm, however, it is not clear who the lead architect is. The plans also list the initials of multiple contributing draftsmen (J.C., S.O., T.K.
J.M.C., and B.D). In 1983, Charles Kober Associates merged with its affiliate Gale, Hornberger & Worstell (headquarters in San Francisco;The Los Angeles Times 1983). At the time of the merger, Charles Kober Associates was in business for over 40 years, maintaining eight U.S.-based offices (including one London office) and 200 employees. The firm’s notable projects included the Glendale Galeria, Plaza Pasadena, Bellevue Square (in Seattle), the German and China Pavilions at EPCOT Center (Orlando, Florida), Kilroy Airport Center, and the Wilshire Thayer high-rise condominium (Westwood, CA). *B7.

BUILDING DESCRIPTIONS:
6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway
6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway very closely matches the footprint, design, and materials of the neighboring office building at 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway. This commercial building is two stories, with a rectangular shaped footprint, textured stucco exterior wall cladding, and a large open-air atrium set in the center of the footprint. The roofline is comprised of six sheet metal clad skillion roofs (four large primary- rectangular in shape; two small secondary- square in shape). The second story level projects over the first story by approximately two to three feet. Wide corrugated metal sheets that simulate a broken belt course are situated between the first and second story windows in large sections of all elevations.
Matching material is found just below the eave level (gutters) on the majority of all elevations, forming a projecting fascia.
The majority of windows at the second story level are recessed and alternate in sets of two and four sliding windows (frames appear to be steel).
Entrances are located at the western and eastern corners of the building. The primary entrance at the building’s western corner consists of one set of double glass doors which are accompanied by side and transom lights (steel frames). A short balcony, approximately three feet deep and seven feet long, with a steel safety railing is immediately above this entrance.
An exterior single-paneled door with a floor vent leading into a small electrical room is adjacent to the first floor entrance.
This electrical room is part of a semi-detached unit that partially cuts away from the main body of the building. This unit’s skillion roof is set several feet lower than the neighboring roof lines and has two square fixed windows at the second-story level. In addition to the electrical room, this unit also encloses a storage room and staircase that connect the first and second floors. An ADA-compliant ramp and entrance are at the southwest-facing side of this semi-detached unit. The corresponding door is glass with a transom window and a two-pane sidelight. A short balcony, approximately one foot by three feet, with a steel safety railing is located directly above this entrance.
A similar semi-detached two-story segment which encloses both men's and women’s bathroom facilities is at the eastern corner of the building. Two separate entrances are situated between this unit and the main body of the building. The main entrance (facing southeast) consists of a pair of double doors accompanied by sidelights and a transom light. A short balcony, approximately two feet deep by ten feet long, is above this entrance. Access is provided via a sliding glass door with associated sidelights. Two sets of double glass doors are at the northeast-facing section between the semi-detached building segment and the main body of the building. A narrow balcony, approximately two feet deep and fifteen feet long, is above this entrance. Access to this balcony is provided by two sets of sliding glass doors (set between these glass doors is a single utility room door).
Matching large wrap-around balcony areas are at the north and south corners of the building. Two large windows and a steel-framed glass door are at the northern balcony level. Two large sliding glass doors and one large two-paned glass window are at the southern balcony level.
6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway
6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway very closely matches the footprint, design, and materials of the neighboring office building at 6615 E. Pacific Coast Highway. This commercial building is two stories, with a rectangular shaped footprint, textured stucco exterior wall cladding, and a large open-air atrium set in the center of the footprint. The roofline is comprised of six sheet metal clad skillion roofs (four large primary- rectangular in shape; two small secondary- square in shape). The second story level projects over the first story by approximately two to three feet. Wide corrugated metal sheets that simulate a broken belt course are situated between the first and second story windows in large sections of all elevations.
Matching material is found just below the eave level (gutters) on the majority of all elevations, forming a projecting fascia.
The majority of windows at the second story level are recessed and alternate in sets of two and four sliding windows (frames appear to be steel).
There are four primary entrance points to this building, two at the northwest corner of the building, one at the southeast elevation, and the fourth at the northern end of the southeast elevation. A semi-detached unit that partially cuts away from the main body of the building is at the northwest corner of the building. This unit’s skillion roof is set several feet lower than the neighboring roof lines and has two square fixed windows at the second-story level. The two entrances located at this end of the building are in the recessed areas between the semi-detached unit and the main body of the building. One entrance facing northwest is comprised of a set of steel-framed double glass doors with sidelights and transom windows. A short balcony, approximately three feet deep and seven feet long, with a steel safety railing is immediately above this entrance. Two matching wheelchair-accessible steel-framed glass double doors are at the southwest corner of the State of California The Resources Agency Primary #

building. A balcony area approximately three feet deep and 18 feet long is directly overhead. Two steel-framed sliding glass doors and a single panel with a floor vent door leading to a small storage closet are on the balcony level.
A projecting canopy constructed in 1981 is at the southeast elevation of the building. This canopy has a sloped metal sheet roof and is supported by two rectangular stucco-clad pillars. The entrance consists of steel-framed glass double doors.
Large ground-to-ceiling rectangular two-paned windows are on both sides of these double doors. Another semi-detached unit that partially cuts away from the main body of the building is at the southeast corner. A set of steel-framed glass double doors is in the recessed area at the southeast end of the building. An exterior single-paneled door with a floor vent leading into a small electrical room is adjacent to the first-floor entrance. A short balcony, approximately three feet deep and seven feet long, with a steel safety railing is immediately above this entrance. A single steel framed glass door (secondary entrance) is at the northwest-facing side of this semi-detached unit. A short balcony, approximately three feet deep and six feet long, with a steel safety railing is directly above this entrance.

LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Group Delta Consultants, Inc. (Group Delta) is pleased to submit this design-level report presenting our findings and geotechnical recommendations for the proposed project comprised of lots located at 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach, California. The project location is shown in the vicinity map in Figure 1.
1.1 Site History
Until the mid-1920 the project site and vicinity were undeveloped wetlands. In 1928 there were 2 oil wells reported on the property. The oil wells were no longer visible by 1964. Between the mid-1960 and early 1961, the eastern portion of the site was used as a landfill. Trash was placed to a depth of up to about 30 feet. During the landfill operation, the trash was dumped from trucks and pushed into trenches excavated by dragline.
An aerial view of the site is shown in Figure 2. The site boundaries and approximate location of the landfill are also indicated. There are three existing 2-story buildings, labeled as Buildings 1, 2, and 3. As we understand, the development of the site began in 1979 and the first two buildings, Buildings 1 and 3, were constructed by 1980. Building 2 is believed to have been constructed by 1983.
1.2 Project Description
The project site comprises about 5.5 acres and is bounded on the west by Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and the south by Studebaker Road. The San Gabriel River channel is located about 500 feet to the south. The site is currently developed with three two-story office buildings; two located along PCH and one located along the east edge. An asphalt paved parking lot is located within the center of the site and additional parking areas are located around the perimeter of the existing buildings.
As discussed earlier, the eastern portion of the site was previously used as a landfill between the mid-1960 and early 1961. An aerial view of the site is shown in Figure 2. The site boundaries and approximate location of the landfill are also indicated.
Based on the preliminary information provided by you, and the available conceptual plans, we understand that the plan is to demolish two of the existing buildings at 6615 and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway and to redevelop the site with two 5-story mixed-use buildings over the existing site surrounding a new at-grade 5-story concrete parking garage located in the center of the site.
The parking structure may consist of a subterranean level within a portion of its footprint. The project is in the planning phase currently.

Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
Group Delta prepared a Geotechnical Assessment Report for the property in October 2002, which included a review of several geotechnical investigations and environmental reports prepared by others. A due diligence report was also prepared by Group Delta in 2017 following a limited geotechnical investigation at the project site. This is a design-level geotechnical report for the proposed development. Figure 2 shows the approximate project limits based on the current conceptual plans for the proposed development.
1.3 Scope of Work
The scope of work was to supplement previous geotechnical data with a supplementary geotechnical investigation and prepare a design-level geotechnical investigation report. The scope of work included the following.
Review of available reports and data for the site.
Perform a supplementary subsurface exploration including Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) to supplement the subsurface data, obtain shear wave velocity measurements of the subsurface soils, and estimate the potential limits of the landfill.
Perform site-specific response spectra in accordance with the requirement for ASCE 7-16 for seismic design for new structures, based on site-specific shear wave velocity measurements.
Use the geotechnical data to develop geotechnical design recommendations, including updated seismic design parameters, updated liquefaction, and lateral spreading analyses, updated axial and lateral capacities of the pile foundations, site grading recommendations, and pavement design recommendations.
Prepare a design-level geotechnical report presenting the data collected, and our findings, and provide geotechnical recommendations for the proposed project.
2.0 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
2.1 Previous Field Investigation and Laboratory Testing Previous Field Investigation by Group Delta
Group Delta performed a field investigation at the site on April 8, 2017, as a part of a due diligence assessment for the project. The field exploration program consisted of advancing six (6) CPT (cone penetration test) soundings at the locations shown in the exploration map in Figure 3. The CPTs were advanced to depths ranging from approximately 65 feet to 93 feet below the existing grade.
CPTs were terminated at depths where refusal to further penetration was reached. No laboratory testing was performed during this investigation. The CPT logs are presented in Appendix A.

Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
Previous Field Investigation by others
Moore and Taber performed a geotechnical investigation at the project site in 1979 for Building 3, and 1982 and 1983 for Building 2. The field investigation consisted of advancing a hollow stem auger (HSA) boring to the depths of about 51 feet. Soil samples were retrieved from the borings and laboratory testing was performed on the soil samples. The boring logs and the laboratory testing results from the investigation are presented in Appendix A.
In addition, a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was prepared in 2016 by SCS Engineers. A Draft Existing Methane Mitigation and Monitoring Systems Site Evaluation Report was prepared in 2002 by Methane Specialists for the project site.
2.2 Current Field Investigation
Group Delta performed a field investigation program at the site on September 6, 2022. The field investigation program consisted of advancing four (4) CPT soundings to depths ranging from about 50 feet to 96 feet below the existing grade, or refusal. Shear wave velocity measurements were performed at a 5-feet depth interval in two of the CPTs. The locations of the explorations are shown in Figure 3. Details of the field investigation, including CPT logs and seismic shear wave velocity measurements are presented in Appendix B.
Hand auger borings were advanced to the depth of 5 feet at each CPT location for visual identification and collection of bulk soil samples of the shallow subsurface soils for laboratory testing. However, no laboratory testing was performed on the bulk soil due to the presence of hydrocarbon odor in the collected soil samples.
3.0 SITE CONDITIONS
3.1 Surface Conditions
The site is currently developed with three two-story office buildings; two located along PCH and one located along the east edge of the site. An asphalt paved at-grade parking lot is located within the center of the site and additional parking areas are located around the perimeter of the existing buildings. Several landscape areas, trees, and utility poles exist throughout the site. The site is relatively flat with surface elevations varying from approximately 10 feet to 13 feet above mean sea level.
The asphalt paved at-grade parking lot area between the buildings on the east side and west side shows significant surface undulations visually estimated to be about a few inches to up to 2 feet with longitudinal cracks.

3.2 Subsurface Materials
The subsurface soil profile for the site is presented in Figures 4A through 4C. The subsurface soil profile was developed based on the subsurface investigation data available from the following sources.
x Current field investigation performed by Group Delta in 2022. x Previous field investigation performed by Group Delta in 2017. x Previous field investigations performed by Moore and Taber in 1979, 1982, and 1983. x The information available from SCS Engineering’s Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (SCS, 2016).
As discussed in the earlier sections and shown in Figures 2 and 3, the eastern portion of the site consists of landfill material. The depth contour of the landfill (SCS Engineers, 2016) is shown in the figures and the maximum depth of the landfill extends to about 30 feet at the approximate central region of the project site.
Outside of the landfill area on the western portion of the project site, non-trash fill material extends from the depth of about 4.5 feet to 14.5 feet. The fill soils generally consisted of silty sand, sandy silt, and silty clayey sand with trace to few gravels and debris.
Below the fill soils, alluvium was encountered in the previous borings. The alluvium consisted of a relatively compressible layer of interbedded layers of clayey silt and silty clay with intermittent layers of medium dense silty sand to the depth of 20 feet. This layer is underlain by interbedded medium dense silty sand interbedded with stiff clays and silts to the approximated depth of 50 feet (approximate El. -40 feet). Below 50 feet depth, the soil is dense to very dense sandy soil with occasional clayey interbeds.
3.3 Groundwater
Based on the current field investigation and previous field investigation data, groundwater is approximately 10 feet (Elevation 0 feet) below the existing grade and could vary between Elevation 0 feet and 3 feet above mean sea level. The Seismic Hazard Zone Report for the Los Alamitos and Seal Beach (CDMG, 1998) also indicates the historically highest shallow groundwater at the depth of about 10 feet at the project site as shown in Figure 5. The design groundwater depth was taken at 10 feet below the existing grade.

4.0 GEOLOGIC AND SEISMIC HAZARD EVALUATION
4.1 Geologic Setting
Regionally, the site is located within the seismically active Los Angeles Basin area of southern California Peninsula Ranges Geomorphic Province. The transtensional stresses and subsidence between north-west and east-west trending fault systems began forming the basin over 7 million years ago (Wright, 1991). Today, the basin is undergoing transpresssional stress bound by surrounding uplifting thrust blocks including the Palos Verdes fault system locally (Dolan, 1995).
Internally, the basin is filled with sedimentation thousands of feet thick. Thrusting fault blocks and strike-slip faults divide the basin into northwest-trending valleys and ridges (Wright, 1991).
Locally, the site is situated within the coastal margin of the Los Angeles Basin. It is bound on the east by the Newport Inglewood Fault Zone which locally divides the Long Beach flood plain. The San Gabriel River outlets to the Pacific Ocean southwest of the site and the Alameda Bay marina and channels are to the west. Surficial deposition is largely flood and deltaic debris transported by the river. Today the river is controlled within a lined channel that flows southwest and artificial fill materials blanket the site. Pleistocene marine sediments underlie the site at depth. The location of the site with respect to the geological features described above is presented in the Regional Geology Map in Figure 6.
4.2 Regional Seismicity
The site is located within the seismically active area of southern California and there is a high potential for the site to experience strong ground shaking from local and regional faults. These hazards and their potential impact can be mitigated with proper seismic design. The intensity of ground shaking is highly dependent upon the distance of the fault to the site, the magnitude of the earthquake, and the underlying soil conditions. Data evaluated for the local fault and seismic hazard at the site was obtained from USGS online earthquake catalog and Quaternary Fault Database resources unless otherwise noted. The site in relation to regional seismic faults and significant historical earthquake epicenters is presented in Figure 7 in Regional Fault and Seismicity Map.
Local historical earthquakes recorded within a 100-km radius of the site from 1800 to the present include 144 recorded events with M4.5 or greater. Of the 144 events, twelve were M6.0 and greater and include the 1933 M6.4 Newport-Inglewood Earthquake and the 1994 M6.7 Northridge Earthquake. Forty-three recorded events were M5.0 to M6.0 earthquakes. While not within the search radius, earthquakes of M7.0 and greater have been recorded in southern California. A M7.5 earthquake occurred in 1952 located about 95 miles north of the site and a M7.3 earthquake in 1992 was located about 100 miles east of the site. Construction in this area should be designed with accepted engineering practices and in compliance with current building codes that accommodate strong seismic ground motion.

4.3 Surface Fault Rupture
Based on the review of available published geologic maps there are no mapped active faults that cross through or project toward the site. The closest active fault to the site is the Newport Inglewood Fault at a distance of about 900 feet northeast of the site, as shown in Figure 7. An Alquist-Priolo Zone was identified for this fault as shown in the earthquake zones of required investigation map in Figure 8. The project site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Special Study Fault Zone. Therefore, the possibility of ground surface fault rupture at the site is considered low.
4.4 Seismic Site Parameters
Site-specific shear wave velocity measurements from the CPTs (SCPT-2 and SCPT-3) from the current field investigation were used to estimate the shear wave velocity within the upper 30 meters (Vs,30) at the site. The shear wave velocity measurement is provided in Appendix B. The site shear wave velocity was estimated at 210 m/s (689 feet/s) at the site, corresponding to a Site Class D.
A site-specific acceleration response spectrum was calculated in accordance with ASCE 7-16 Chapter 21 using UGMS MCER Tool available online from Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC, 2022). The site coordinates used in our seismic hazard analysis are -118.1066 (Longitude) and 34.7550 (Latitude). The summary of the Site-Specific Seismic Design Parameters is presented in Table 1 below.

4.5 Liquefaction Potential
Liquefaction involves a sudden loss in strength of a saturated, cohesionless soil (predominantly sand) caused by the build-up of pore water pressure during cyclic loadings, such as that produced by an earthquake. This increase in pore water pressure can temporarily transform the soil into a fluid mass, resulting in a vertical settlement, and can also cause lateral ground deformations.
Geotechnical Investigation Report September 30, 2022
Proposed Long Beach Marketplace Project Page 7
CP VI Marketplace, LLC
Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
Typically, liquefaction occurs in areas where there are loose sands and the depth to groundwater is less than 50 feet from the surface. Seismic shaking can also cause soil compaction and ground settlement without liquefaction occurring, including the settlement of dry sands above the water table.
The site is located in the state-identified liquefaction zone based on the earthquake zones of the required investigation map for the Los Alamitos and Seal Beach Quadrangle as shown in Figure
8. The liquefaction analysis was performed using NCEER (Youd et al. 2001) procedure for the sitespecific PGAM of 0.7g and design groundwater depth of 10 feet. Our analyses indicate that liquefaction-induced settlement up to 2.1 inches may occur during a seismic event, however, liquefaction-induced settlement is generally less than 1 inch in most areas of the site. More significantly liquefiable layers were identified to the depth of about 30 feet below grade. The summary of liquefaction-induced settlement is presented in Table 2 below and the analysis and plots are presented in Appendix C.

4.1 Lateral Spreading and Slope Stability
Lateral spreading is characterized primarily by lateral movement of surficial soil layers of gently to steeply sloping saturated soil deposits because of the liquefaction of a subsurface granular deposit and in areas adjacent to an open source of water. The site is relatively leveled, and the nearest open source of water is the San Gabriel River about 500 feet southwest.
Therefore, minimal liquefaction-induced lateral spreading was calculated based on the CPT results. The lateral spreading was estimated using the computer program CLiq which uses Zhang Geotechnical Investigation Report September 30, 2022
Proposed Long Beach Marketplace Project Page 8
CP VI Marketplace, LLC
Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
et al. (2002) procedure for assessment of lateral spreading. The liquefaction-induced lateral spreading at the site was calculated to be in the range of 0.3 inches to 3.2 inches using all CPT results, with an estimated average value of 1.4 inches for the project site. The plots for lateral spreading (displacement) are also presented in Appendix C.
The site and surrounding vicinity are relatively level. There are no mapped landslides or potential earthquake-induced landslide slopes at the site. The potential for landslide hazards at the site is negligible. The proposed development may require some excavation up to 10 feet in depth. With proper engineered shoring and/or laying back of cut slopes, the potential hazard of slope instability at the site is low.
4.2 Flooding
The site is situated within a low-lying coastal plain area at an elevation ranging from 10 feet to 13 feet and less than a mile east of the Pacific Ocean. The closest large body of water is the San Gabriel River located about 500 feet south of the site. Alamitos Bay is located about 800 feet west of the site.
The site is within a FEMA-identified moderate flood hazard zone, with a 0.2% annual chance of flood. It is within a potential tsunami inundation zone and dam inundation zone. Tsunami events are historically infrequent and typically associated with significant offshore seismic events. Dam inundation is also a historically infrequent event, associated with catastrophic dam failure.
However, the Long Beach Seismic Safety Element (City of Long Beach, 1988) considers these potential hazards to be low.
4.3 Methane, Oil, and Gas
The site is located with the Seal Beach Oil Field according to the Division of Oil Gas and Geothermal Resources, District 1 Field Map 132. An abandoned landfill is located underneath the eastern portion of the site. We understand existing buildings are under observation and maintenance of ambient methane abatement by a methane specialist (SCS Engineers, 2016). The potential for methane and natural oil or gas at the site is considered high. A methane specialist will need to address the hazard potential for new development at the site and provide detailed recommendations regarding the City of Long Beach approved methane mitigation system in the final design of the proposed development.

5.0 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 General
Based on the findings and engineering analyses, it is our opinion that the proposed project is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint, and the proposed mixed-use building and the parking structure may be supported on deep (pile) foundations and structural slabs supported on the piles.
Minor at-grade and lightly loaded structures (such as canopies, planter walls, and minor retaining walls) that are structurally isolated from the main structure may be supported on shallow footings following proper grading recommendations and notes provided in the following sections. Exterior Slab-on-grade for courtyard areas and hardscapes may be supported on properly compacted fill.
5.2 Demolition
Prior to the start of earthwork, demolition will be required to remove existing two buildings along the PCH. The existing Building 1 on the northwest side is supported on driven, 12-inch square, pre-cast concrete piles, and grade beams. The piles are 47 feet to 60 feet long. We understand that these existing pile foundations will be abandoned in place and cut off at the top as necessary to avoid conflict with the proposed foundation layout and structural slab. The existing Building 2 is supported on shallow footings. In addition, demolition will be required for the existing abovegrade utility poles, shrubs and trees, planter areas, and at-grade improvements such as pavements, curbs, hardscapes, and bollards. Any void created from the demolition should be properly backfilled to the limits determined by the project geotechnical engineer.
The site has several subsurface utilities such as electrical and communication, gas, water, sewer, and storm drain lines. The civil engineer should identify the presence and location of all existing utilities on and adjacent to the site. Precautions will be required to remove, relocate or protect any existing utilities, as appropriate.
5.3 Removals
The existing asphalt pavement and hardscapes will need to be removed before placing fill for raising the finished grade. Remnants of previous shallow foundations for the demolished structures will need to be removed in the areas of proposed slab-on-grade and hardscapes.
5.4 Excavations
Shallow excavation up to a maximum depth of about 10 feet below grade is anticipated for the project. Based on our investigation and the expected depth of excavations, we anticipate the excavations to be made in generally sandy materials and should be readily accomplished using Geotechnical Investigation Report September 30, 2022
Proposed Long Beach Marketplace Project Page 10
CP VI Marketplace, LLC
Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
conventional heavy construction equipment. The sandy soils on site are generally classified as CAL/OSHA Type C soils.
If the excavation is exposed during periods of rainfall, provisions for collection of the runoff should be made. All surface drainage should be controlled and prevented from running down into the excavation. Ponding water should not be allowed within the excavation. In case clayey soil is exposed, any collected water should be pumped out. Soils softened by wetting should be removed and backfilled as directed by the geotechnical engineer.
All excavation slopes and shoring systems should meet the minimum requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) Standards. Maintaining safe and stable slopes on excavations is the responsibility of the contractor and will depend on the nature of the soils and groundwater conditions encountered and his method of excavation. Excavations during construction should be carried out in such a manner that failure or ground movement will not occur. The short-term stability of excavation depends on many factors, including slope angle, engineering characteristics of the subsurface materials, height of the excavation, and length of time the excavation remains unsupported and exposed to equipment vibrations, rainfall, and desiccation. The contractor should perform any additional studies deemed necessary to supplement the information contained in this report for the purpose of planning and executing their excavation plan. Recommendations regarding sloped temporary excavations are provided in the sections below.
5.4.1 Temporary Excavations
Temporary excavation slopes in the near-surface sandy soils may be made vertical for cuts of less than two (2) feet with some sloughing to be expected. Cuts higher than two (2) feet may be constructed at an angle of 1.5H:1V (horizontal to vertical ratio), or flatter. If sloping of the side slopes is not feasible due to a lack of spaces, shoring should be used.
Surcharge loads from equipment or stockpiled material should be kept behind the top of the temporary excavations at a horizontal distance of at least equal to the depth of the excavation.
Surface drainage should be controlled and prevented from running down the slope face. Ponding water should not be allowed within the excavation. Even with the implementation of the above recommendations, some sloughing of slopes and unstable soil zones may still occur within temporary excavations, and workmen should be adequately protected. Construction equipment and foot traffic should be kept off excavation slopes to minimize disturbance/sloughing.
Groundwater - Permanent groundwater is not anticipated to be encountered during excavation to a maximum excavation depth of 10 feet, however nuisance water may be encountered due to capillary rise. If water is encountered in the excavation, it is anticipated that it can be controlled using shallow trenches, sumps, and pumps.

5.4.2 Temporary Cantilevered Shoring
Cantilevered shoring may be used for excavation depths up to about 12 feet to 15 feet. For the design of cantilever shoring, an active earth pressure equivalent to a fluid unit weight of 40 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) should be used for level ground. If traffic loading can occur near the top of the shoring (i.e., within a lateral distance equal to the maximum height of the temporary shoring), an additional uniform lateral pressure of 120 pounds per square foot (psf) of vehicular traffic load should be added in the upper 10 feet of shoring. In addition, 35 percent of any other surcharge loads located adjacent to the shoring (i.e., within a lateral distance equal to the maximum height of the temporary shoring) should be included as a uniform rectangular loading over the height of the shoring. If an existing footing or other concentrated load is nearby, additional lateral pressure will be applied to the shoring. The magnitude and distribution of this additional pressure can be calculated when the nature and location of such loadings are known.
Resistance to lateral loading of the shoring piles may be provided by passive pressure of the native soils below the bottom of the excavation. The allowable passive pressure of the soils may be taken as the pressure developed from an equivalent fluid weight of 150 pcf, due to shallow groundwater conditions. To account for the rounded shape of the soldier piles, when calculating the passive pressure on individual piles, the equivalent fluid pressure may be multiplied by a factor of 2.
If the shoring will be used for the construction of a basement, the temporary shoring should be constructed with a geo-composite strip drain against the lagging. These drains will function as long-term drainage behind the basement walls. The drains should be tied into a pipe and sump system at the lowest basement level so the collected drainage can be pumped out to an appropriate outlet.
During construction, the shoring should be surveyed for any movement, until permanent walls are completed. Survey data should be reviewed by the project geotechnical engineer.
5.5 Earthwork and Grading
5.5.1 Subgrade Preparation
The bottom of the excavation should be checked and approved by the project geotechnical engineer. If soft or wet soils are exposed, over-excavation may be required to provide a firm subgrade to support construction equipment and compaction activities. All removals should be performed at the direction of the project geotechnical engineer.
Lean concrete slurry (often referred to as a “waste slab”) may be used to protect the exposed subgrade. The lean concrete slurry may be poured directly on the exposed firm subgrade, approximately 2 inches to 4 inches in thickness, to assist in preventing the clay soil from becoming Geotechnical Investigation Report September 30, 2022
Proposed Long Beach Marketplace Project Page 12
CP VI Marketplace, LLC
Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
destabilized during construction activities before the concrete foundations are poured. If the lean concrete slurry is used, it should be poured on top of firm, competent native soils shortly after the excavation is exposed. Prior to placing the waste slab and the non-expansive fill, the subgrade soils should be moistened to prevent drying up.
5.5.2 Import Fill
The elevation of the project site is proposed to be raised in anticipation of future sea level rise.
The proposed finished floors are at an elevation of about 14.5 feet. This requires raising the grade in different areas of the site from about 2 feet in the northern portion to about 4.5 feet in the southern portion.
If imported soils are used as fill, the soils shall be free of vegetation organic materials, expansive clay, debris, or rocks greater than 3 inches in any dimension, and shall be approved by the project Geotechnical Engineer. Imported soils shall have an expansion index of less than 50 and a plasticity index of less than 15.
5.5.3 Grading Recommendations
All grading should conform to the City of Long Beach requirements, and the general grading recommendations outlined below.
1. The grading contractor is responsible for notifying the project geotechnical engineer of a pregrading meeting prior to the start of grading operations and anytime that the operations are resumed after an interruption.
2. Prior to the start of earthwork, existing improvements will require demolition. Existing utilities should be removed, relocated, or protected, as appropriate.
3. At the subgrade level, any loose or soft soils should be removed and recompacted, as directed by the project geotechnical engineer. The actual limits for removals should be determined by the project geotechnical engineer depending on the actual conditions encountered.
4. The bottom of the completed excavation should be observed and evaluated by the project geotechnical engineer, as it is proof rolled with heavy equipment. Any loose or unstable soils should be over-excavated to the limits determined by the project geotechnical engineer.
5. All fill and backfill should be placed in maximum 8-inch lifts, moisture conditioned to the optimum moisture content, and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 1557.
Geotechnical Investigation Report September 30, 2022
Proposed Long Beach Marketplace Project Page 13
CP VI Marketplace, LLC
Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
6. If the construction is performed during the rainy season, the spoil pile should be covered and protected from becoming wet. During construction, provisions should be made to prevent surface runoff from draining into the excavation.
7. All earthwork and grading should be performed under the observation of the project geotechnical engineer, including approval of the bottom of excavations, foundation excavations, and placement of fill and backfill.
8. Compaction testing of the fill soils shall be performed at the discretion of the project geotechnical engineer. Testing should be performed for approximately every 2 feet in fill thickness or 2,000 cubic yards of fill placed, whichever occurs first. If specified compaction is not achieved, additional compaction effort, moisture conditioning, and/or removal and recompaction of the fill soils will be required.
9. If in the opinion of the project geotechnical engineer, contractor, or owner, an unsafe condition is created or encountered during grading, all work in the area shall be stopped until measures can be taken to mitigate the unsafe condition. An unsafe condition shall be considered any condition that creates a danger to workers, on-site structures, on-site construction, or any off-site properties or persons.
10. All materials used for asphalt, concrete, and base shall conform to the "Green Book" and shall be compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction.
5.6 Deep (Pile) Foundation Recommendations
The proposed buildings and the parking structure should be supported on pile foundations and structural slabs.
Both driven piles and a combination of auger-cast displacement (ACD) and auger-cast nondisplacement piles (hybrid piles) may be utilized in supporting the proposed structures. These piles were selected due to environmental concerns associated with retrieving landfill materials from the drilled holes, as well as the presence of shallow groundwater.
The abovementioned pile types each pose their constructability challenges, as well.
The contents of the landfill material, if large debris is present, could create challenges for the drivability of driven piles. Furthermore, due to the presence of dense to very dense sandy soils at an approximate depth of 50 feet below grade, longer driven piles may encounter drivability issues within the denser soils at depths greater than 50 feet. In such cases predrilling with augers smaller than (or equal to) two-thirds of the diameter of the driven piles may facilitate pile driving of the longer driven piles.
Geotechnical Investigation Report September 30, 2022
Proposed Long Beach Marketplace Project Page 14
CP VI Marketplace, LLC
Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
For the auger-cast hybrid piles, displacing denser soils (at depths greater than about 50 feet below grade) is not feasible. Therefore, both the installation method and pile capacities assume non-displacement pile construction at depths greater than 50 feet below grade. Additionally, the use of non-displacement pile construction (i.e. using a continuous flight auger at depths more than 50 feet) will result in additional soil spoils which may be mixed with retrieved landfill materials and should be disposed of in accordance with all appropriate environmental disposal requirements.
Pile foundation recommendations for the buildings are provided below.
5.6.1 Axial Pile Capacity
The static allowable axial capacities and seismic ultimate axial capacities for single piles, or piles within groups with a minimum center-to-center spacing of 3 pile diameters, were estimated for the following types of piles.
x 24-Inch diameter driven piles
x 18-Inch diameter driven piles
x 24-Inch diameter augercast displacement (ACD) piles to the depth of 50 feet over nondisplacement augercast (CFA) piles below the depth of 50 feet. x 18-Inch diameter augercast displacement (ACD) piles to the depth of 50 feet over nondisplacement augercast (CFA) piles below the depth of 50 feet.
The static allowable axial capacity of the piles ignores the capacity from the upper 20 feet of soil due to the potential settlement of landfill materials and native clay and assumes the skin friction resistance from the upper 20 feet of soil as downdrag load. The downdrag load reported on the figures should be added to the service level structural loads (dead plus live) to determine the pile length under static loading. The static allowable axial capacities utilize factors of safety of 2, and 3, for skin friction resistance, and end bearing respectively.
The seismic ultimate axial capacity of the piles should be used to determine the controlling pile length under ultimate factored structural loads. Fill and native soil materials in the upper 30 feet have been assumed to impose a downdrag load on the proposed piles due to long-term soil compression and earthquake-induced settlement. The downdrag load reported on the figures should be added to the factored structural loads to determine the pile length under seismic loading.
The axial capacities of the piles are presented in Figures 10 through 17 assuming a pile cut-off elevation of 12 feet.
Geotechnical Investigation Report September 30, 2022
Proposed Long Beach Marketplace Project Page 15
CP VI Marketplace, LLC
Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
Please note that if proprietary auger-cast (hybrid) piles are selected, a static axial pile load testing program (typically 2 test piles) should be completed prior to the installation of production piles to verify the capacities and obtain approvals. Furthermore, Low Strain Integrity Tests should typically be performed on 10 percent of the production piles.
We recommend the piles be installed after substantial completion of the settlement caused by raising the grades within the building pads, as discussed in Section 5.11.2.
5.6.2 Settlement
We estimate the settlement of the pile foundation to be less than ½ inch. The differential settlement between adjacent columns is expected to be ¼ inch or less.
5.6.3 Lateral Pile Capacity
The lateral capacities for the 24-Inch diameter and 18-Inch diameter single piles were estimated for static load conditions and seismic load conditions for both free-head and fixed-head conditions. The lateral capacities were estimated using the computer program LPILE 2019. The shear force and bending moments for the static loading conditions for a single pile are summarized in Table 3-1 below.

Lateral pile capacity analysis was performed for a single pile in a group with a maximum of two (2) rows of piles assuming center-to-center spacing between piles as three times the diameter (3D, where D is the diameter of the pile) of the pile. Appropriate lateral capacity reduction factor was accounted for in the analysis and the shear force and bending moments for the static loading conditions are summarized in Table 3-2 below.

To evaluate the extreme internal shear and internal moments within the pile, cases with a lateral spreading displacement of 1.4 inches (i.e. soil movement of 1.4 inches) applied in phase and out of phase with structural demands were also considered. The internal shear and moments should be considered in the structural design of the piles under seismic loading, as well. The lateral capacity analysis plots for the static and seismic loading conditions for single piles and single piles in a two-row pile group are presented in Appendix D.
5.7 Shallow Foundation Recommendations
5.7.1 Bearing Capacity
Following proper site grading, minor at-grade and lightly loaded structures (such as canopies, planter walls, and minor retaining walls) that are structurally isolated from the main building structures may be supported on shallow footings carried at least 1½ foot into the lowest adjacent grade or floor level. The footings may be designed to impose a net dead-plus-live load pressure of 1,500 pounds per square foot. The allowable bearing pressure may be increased by one-third for temporary loads associated with wind and seismic loading.
The project geotechnical engineer should perform compaction tests, probing, or use other methods, to verify that the foundations are supported in competent soils. If disturbed, wet, or otherwise unsuitable soils are encountered, or if water saturates the soils, the soils shall be excavated or stabilized as recommended by the project geotechnical engineer.
Geotechnical Investigation Report September 30, 2022
Proposed Long Beach Marketplace Project Page 17
CP VI Marketplace, LLC
Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
All foundation excavations should be checked by the project geotechnical engineer before the placement of reinforcing steel. Any loose or soft soils should be excavated and recompacted with structural fill. The limits for the excavation should be determined by the geotechnical engineer.
5.7.2 Settlement
The total settlement of properly designed shallow foundations is estimated to be less than 1 inch.
The differential settlement is estimated to be less than ½ inch over a horizontal distance of 30 feet.
5.7.3 Lateral Capacity
Resistance to lateral loads can be provided by friction developed between the bottom of footings and the supporting soil, and by the passive soil pressure developed on the face of the footing.
For design purposes, an allowable passive fluid pressure of 300 pcf (above the water table) and a coefficient of friction of 0.3 may be used for lateral sliding resistance of footings. A one-third increase in the passive value can be used for wind or seismic loads. The frictional resistance and the passive resistance of the soils can be combined without reduction in determining the total lateral resistance.
5.8 Retaining Walls
5.8.1 Earth Pressures
Cantilever retaining walls, which are free to move laterally at least ½ inch, may be designed using equivalent fluid pressure of 40 pcf for level backfill, and 55 pcf for ground sloping up at 2 to 1 (horizontal to vertical).
Buried or basement walls with a level backfill should be designed for at-rest pressure of 60 pcf.
The pressure values assume a triangle distribution and that proper drainage is provided behind the walls to prevent the build-up of hydrostatic pressures. If the walls are to be designed for hydrostatic pressures, the equivalent lateral fluid pressures should be increased to 90 pcf below the design depth of the water.
The finish ground surface behind the top of the wall should be graded to drain away from the back of the wall.
If traffic loading can occur near the top of the wall, an additional uniform lateral pressure of 100 psf of vehicular traffic load should be added in the upper 10 feet of shoring.
According to Section 1803.5.12 of the CBC 2019, for structures assigned to the Seismic Design Category of D through F, walls 6 feet or greater in height should be designed for seismic loading.
Geotechnical Investigation Report September 30, 2022
Proposed Long Beach Marketplace Project Page 18
CP VI Marketplace, LLC
Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
The magnitude of the seismic pressure can be evaluated using the procedures developed by Mononobe-Okabe (Seed and Whitman, 1970).
For this project, the effective ground surface acceleration is 0.23g, corresponding to one-half of аŽĨƚŚĞW'M. Based on this acceleration, we recommend using equivalent fluid pressure of 10 pcf with a triangular distribution. It should be noted that the seismic earth pressures are additive to the active earth pressures specified for permanent static support of the retention system walls.
The resultant seismic pressure should be applied at a height of 1/3 times the wall height above the base of the wall.
5.8.2 Retaining Wall Backfill
We recommend that retaining walls be backfilled with non-expansive soils. A 2-ft thick cap consisting of less previous onsite materials should be used to minimize infiltration of surface water. The finished surface should be graded to drain away from the proposed structures. Heavy compaction equipment operating adjacent to retaining walls can cause excessively high lateral soil pressures to be exerted on the wall. Therefore, soils within 5 feet of the wall should either be compacted with hand-operated equipment or designed to withstand compaction pressure from heavy equipment.
5.8.3 Retaining Wall Drainage
Retaining walls should be constructed with a properly designed drainage system to prevent the buildup of hydrostatic pressures behind the wall. This may consist of a geocomposite drain board or 12 inches of clean crushed rock encapsulated in filter fabric, discharging to weep holes or drain pipes. Basement walls or walls with architectural facades or coverings should be properly waterproofed to minimize moisture transmission through the walls.
5.9 Slab-on-Grade (Courtyard Area)
The exterior slab on grade for the courtyard area may be supported on a properly compacted subgrade. A methane barrier/venting system and nuisance water drainage system should be installed under the slabs, as designed by a methane consultant. The methane/drainage system will reduce the potential for moisture transmission through the slab. The final design of the methane mitigation and subgrade protection system will be the responsibility of the methane consultant. The geotechnical aspects of the design should be reviewed by Group Delta before incorporation into the final building plans.
A sub-foundation drainage system should be designed to collect and discharge any nuisance water that may enter the gravel portion of the methane collection system. Based on our experience with other similar projects, gravel layers that make up a methane mitigation system have been observed to become accidental collectors of infiltrated surface water from sources such as irrigation and rain waters.

Expansion joints should be provided between the courtyard slab and the structural slab supported on the piles. The unit vertical modulus of subgrade reaction for the slab-on-grade may be taken as 60 pounds per cubic inch and the size adjusted modulus of subgrade reaction may be taken as 15 pounds per cubic inch.
5.10 Fill Settlement and Preloading
5.10.1 Fill Settlement
The elevation of the project site is proposed to be raised in anticipation of future sea level rise.
The proposed finished floors are at an elevation of about 14.5 feet. This requires raising the grade in different areas of the site from about 2 feet in the northern portion to about 4.5 feet in the southern portion.
In the southeastern portion of the site, due to the presence of trash fill, and compressible natural clayey soils to a depth of about 20 feet below grade, raising the grade by a few feet is anticipated to cause substantial static settlements. The static settlement (elastic and consolidation) of the raised grades by 4.5 feet is estimated to be about 4 inches. The primary consolidation (90 percent consolidation) settlement is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months.
In the western portion of the site where the area is outside the landfill area and the northern portion where the depth of the landfill is shallow, the static settlements due to elastic and compression settlement due to 2 feet of the surcharge are estimated to be less than 1 inch. The primary consolidation (90 percent consolidation) settlement in these areas is anticipated to be completed in approximately 1.5 months.
5.10.2 Preloading
Piles should be installed after a minimum of 90 percent of the settlement due to raising the grades has been completed, in order to minimize any potential downdrag loads due to the raised grades. Primary consolidation of subsurface soils is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months with the 4.5 feet of surcharge in the southern portion and about 1.5 months with 2 feet of surcharge in the western and northern portions of the site. Therefore, preloading is recommended to be performed for the southeastern portion of the project site as shown in Figure 18 to expedite expected settlements due to the raised grades of the project.
Preloading the area by placing additional fill heights may reduce the time for substantial completion of consolidation settlement. A relation between the preloading fill height and the time to achieve 90 percent of the settlement due to the final raised grade is presented in Figure 19 for the proposed preloading area. For example, as can be seen in Figure 19, placing an additional 2 feet beyond the final grade will reduce the time to substantial completion of the settlement to only 2.5 months in the proposed preloading area. The excess fill soils may be removed and placed in northern and western areas of the site, once substantial settlement in the Geotechnical Investigation Report September 30, 2022

LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
proposed preloading area is completed. The settlement in northern and western areas is anticipated to be completed in approximately 1.5 months after fill placement based on the anticipated raised grades.
5.10.3 Settlement Monitoring
We recommend settlement monitoring plates be installed at the base of the fill at the eastern, central, and western portions of the surcharge in the preloading area. The settlement should be surveyed weekly. Care should be taken to prevent damaging the settlement monitoring monuments. In case a monument is irreparably damaged or destroyed, a replacement monument should be immediately installed, and a new survey baseline established for the new monument. Settlement is deemed as complete if less than 0.1 inches of settlement is measured over a period of two weeks after the placement of fill.
5.11 Methane Control System
A properly designed methane collection and venting system are to be developed and installed for the project by the project methane consultant.
5.12 Future Landfill Settlement and Periodic Maintenance Due to the nature of the fill, continued settlement, particularly differential settlements, may continue to manifest at the ground surface in the future in the areas of landfill due to the decomposition of organic matter in the fill. However, the magnitude of such settlement and duration of manifestation of such settlement cannot be estimated due to the nature, depth, and extent of the fill. Therefore, periodic maintenance for surface improvements supported on subgrade in the area of landfill should be anticipated and built into the project planning.
5.13 Infiltration Potential
The design groundwater at the project site is 10 feet below the existing grade. Per the Los Angeles County Administrative Manual (GS200.2) the invert of the stormwater infiltration system should be at least 10 feet above the design groundwater elevation. Therefore, onsite stormwater infiltration is not feasible at the project site. Additionally, a significant portion of the site was a previous landfill, and therefore onsite infiltration is not recommended.
5.14 Site Drainage
Surface drainage during construction should be controlled and directed to appropriate drainage facilities. All surface drainage should be prevented from running down along the face of the excavation. Ponding water should not be allowed within the excavation.

Proposed Long Beach Marketplace Project Page 21
CP VI Marketplace, LLC
Group Delta Project No. LA1583
LA1583 Long Beach Market Place Geotech RPT_Final.docx
Additionally, all planters and landscape areas should be lined with impermeable membranes to prevent infiltration into the subsurface soil. Proper site drainage should be designed to collect surface runoff or irrigation water and discharge it properly into a drainage system and carried away from the site.
5.15 Utility Trenches
Excavations for utility trenches should be readily accomplished with conventional excavating equipment. All shoring and excavation should comply with current OSHA regulations and be observed by the designated competent person on site.
The bedding for any new sewer and water service pipelines should be a minimum of 4 inches thick and should consist of clean sand, No. 4 concrete aggregate or gravel, and should have a sand equivalent of not less than 30. The pipe zone material, which extends to a level 12 inches above the pipe should consist of sand and should have a sand equivalent of no less than 30, and a maximum rock size of 1 inch. All imported materials should be approved by the project geotechnical engineer before being brought onsite.
Trench zone backfill extends from a level 12 inches above the pipe to the finished subgrade. The on-site excavated materials may not be suitable for backfill. Any boulders or cobbles larger than 3 inches in any dimensions, or any organics or other deleterious materials, should be removed before backfilling. We recommend that all backfill should be placed in lifts not exceeding six to eight inches in thickness and compacted to at least 90 percent of relative compaction as determined by the ASTM D1557. Mechanical compaction will be required to accomplish compaction above the bedding along the entire pipeline alignments. Jetting or flooding of backfill should not be permitted.
In backfill areas, where mechanical compaction of soil backfill is impractical due to space constraints, 2-sack slurry (CLSM) may be substituted for compacted backfill.
5.16 Expansive Soil
Based on the results of the expansion index test on representative near-surface soil samples from previous investigations (Moore and Taber, 1979, 1982), the near-surface soils have low to very low expansion potential. The previous laboratory test results for the soil expansion index are summarized in Table 4 below.

5.17 Soil Corrosivity
Two soil samples from Boring 1 and Boring 2 (Moore and Taber, 1982) from a depth of 6 feet were tested for soluble sulfate content. The samples had soluble sulfate content of 0.02 percent and 0.03 percent respectively. Soil corrosivity testing was not performed on the bulk soil samples collected during the current field investigation due to the presence of hydrocarbon odor in the soil samples.
A significant length of the proposed piles for the project will be under groundwater and exposed to the elements of the marine environment. Furthermore, soils present near seawater may have high chloride content, which is corrosive to buried metals, such as underground metal pipes. A corrosion expert should be consulted for further evaluation and to develop optimum protection.

APPENDIX B – CURRENT FIELD INVESTIGATION
APPENDIX B
CURRENT FIELD INVESTIGATION
B.1 Introduction
A geotechnical subsurface investigation was conducted by Group Delta for the project at the 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway in Log Beach on September 6 of 2022 for providing a design-level geotechnical report for the project. The investigation consisted of four (4) hand auger borings and four (4) cone penetration test (CPT) soundings. The exploration locations and numbers are shown in Figures 2 and 3 of the main report. A summary table of Group Delta’s investigation is provided in Table B-1.
B.2 Soil Boring
Four (4) hand auger borings were advanced to the depth of 5 feet below the existing grade. The hand auger borings were performed at the CPT locations. Subsurface materials were visually classified and recorded by Group Delta’s field engineer in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Bulk samples of the encountered materials were obtained from the boring and recorded on the boring log. Bulk samples were obtained by a shovel and placed into polyethylene bags.
A key for soil classification and a boring record legend are presented in Figures B-1a to B-1c and B-2a to B-2b, respectively. The boring log is presented in Figures B-3 to B-6.
B.3 Cone Penetration Test (CPT) Sounding
Four (4) cone penetration test (CPT) soundings were conducted at the site with shear wave velocity measurements in two of the CPTs. The CPT was advanced to a depth of about 50.2 feet to 96.5 feet below the existing grade. The seismic CPT (SCPT) was performed in general accordance with ASTM D3441, using a CPT Truck.
The CPT was hand augered to the depth of 5 feet before advancing the CPT. The CPT truck pushes a steel rod with a conical tip and a cylindrical friction sleeve into the ground. The conical tip has a 60-degree apex angle and a projected cross-sectional area of 1.55 square inches. The cylindrical friction sleeve has a surface area of 23.25 square inches. Both the tip and the sleeve have outside diameters of 1.4 inches.
As the rod advanced, electronic instruments measured and recorded both the tip resistance and the frictional resistance on the sleeve. The tip and frictional resistance were then analyzed, using available correlations, to estimate soil classification, density, strength, and compressibility of the subsurface materials. Unlike soil borings, in which drive samples are typically taken at discrete intervals, the CPT provides a continuous record of soil properties with depth. Hence, the CPT can define the subsurface soil profile with a much higher resolution than a soil boring, often detecting thin layers that are easily missed with conventional drilling and sampling.
Shear wave velocity measurements versus depth were made in SCPT-2 and SCPT-3 to the depth of 95 feet and 70 feet respectively, at 5 feet intervals. After every 5 ft of penetration, the probe was stopped, a shear wave was generated at the ground surface, and the arrival of the shear wave was detected by the CPT probe. The arrival times of the shear waves were used to calculate the shear wave velocity versus depth.
The CPT logs are presented in Figures B-7 to B-10. The shear wave velocity data is presented in Figures B-11 and B-14.

RE: Long Beach Marketplace – LID Feasibility Screening
The following memorandum will discuss the feasibility of low impact development (LID) measures per the City of Long Beach Low Impact Development Design Manual for the Project at 6615 Pacific Coast Highway.
Ultimately, the site constraints, irrigation demand, and soil characteristics preclude the use of LID BMP measures, and the Project will instead implement flow-based SUSMP measures—i.e. pretreatment filters—and pay the City off-site runoff mitigation fee at $3.00 per square foot of non-infiltrated or non-treated storm water.
Infiltration Feasibility:
Although a soils report is still pending for this project, the high water table and adjacency to the coastline will likely prevent the project from implementing an infiltration BMP solution.
Capture and Use Feasibility:
Per the capture and use calculations included in this memo, the project will have a 7-month wet season irrigation demand volume of 42,988 gallons (5,747 cubic feet). This is less than the ¾” storm event volume of 65,635 gallons (8,775 cubic feet). Therefore, per the Long Beach LID manual, capture and use will be infeasible.
Biofiltration Feasibility:
Per the included biofiltration calculation, the Project would have to accommodate 13,162 square feet of biofiltration planter area (1 foot ponding depth) to mitigate the ¾” storm event volume of 8,775 cubic feet.
Thus, the planter box area exceeds the actual pervious area on-site by 4,999 square feet. Given these hardship constraints, biofiltration is not feasible.
Offsite Runoff Mitigation Fee:
Given infiltration, capture and use, and biofiltration are all infeasible, the Project will pay the offsite mitigation fee of $3.00 per square foot of non-infiltration or non-treated storm water. That translates to $3.00 multiplied by 155,087 square feet of impervious area on-site resulting in a mitigation fee of $465,261 paid to City of Long Beach’s Stormwater Pollution Abatement Fund for offsite mitigation. Please see the included LID Project Information Form for further details.

3 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SCS Engineers (SCS) was retained by the Carmel Partners Realty Investors, LLC (Carmel Partners) to prepare a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the Market Place Long Beach Office Park located at 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, California (the “Property”). This assessment was performed in a manner which complies with 40 CFR 312, Standards for Conducting All Appropriate Inquiries, in conformance with ASTM E1527-13, and in conformance with the Master Services Agreement between SCS and Carmel Partners dated March 2017. At Carmel Partners’ request, this Phase I ESA also addresses the scope of work described in a JPMC Phase I Environmental Site Assessment scope/guidance document revised September 2017, as provided to SCS. This Phase I ESA report was prepared by Christopher Romanowski and Justin Rauzon and reviewed by Julio Nuno. Mr. Romanowski performed the site inspection on May 1, 2018.
The Property is located on the northeastern side of East Pacific Coast Highway, to the north of the intersection with Studebaker Road. The Property is an approximately 5.5-acre office park comprising three office buildings (6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway) and associated parking lots. It was previously used for oil production and as a landfill. The past presence of the landfill, two oil sumps, one or two oil wells, and oil-related infrastructure at the Property constitute recognized environmental conditions (RECs). Oil wells and associated oil pipeline/storage tank infrastructure located to the north and east of the Property also constitute a REC. During the site inspection, small superficial oil stains were noted on the concrete floor at the base of the hydraulic oil tanks inside the mechanical rooms at 6621 and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway. Based on the size of the stains and condition of the concrete floor observed, SCS considers the staining to be a de minimis environmental condition.
Current tenants include commercial business offices including real estate, medical counseling, chiropractic/acupuncture, accounting, insurance, legal, an exercise studio, and a physical therapy office (no X-Ray equipment onsite). There are no indications of contamination issues associated with the current use of the Property, although, historical developments at the Property have included both oil/gas infrastructure and a landfill. Past investigations at the Property conducted under Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) oversight indicate that industrial waste may have been disposed at the Property. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and metals have been detected in groundwater and are attributable to the historical oil and gas exploration and potentially the historical landfill operations. Another ongoing concern at the Property relates to landfill gas (LFG) and migration of methane from adjoining oil field properties. A passive landfill gas control system supplemented by an intermittently operated air blower is present at the Property. In the 20+ years since this system was installed, no methane has been detected in any of the on-site buildings. As long as Property use does not change and the gas control system remains operational, SCS does not anticipate any methane-related concerns at the Property.
Although the landfill was closed in accordance with regulations in effect at the time of closure (1961), current landfill closure standards are more stringent. Both the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) and the County Department of Health Services (the LEA) must approve any major development or redevelopment on older landfills. In granting approval for major new developments, the CIWMB may require that the entire former landfill site be brought 4 up to current standards. There is, however, no systematic enforcement of the current landfill closure standards in the absence of major new development.
The Property owner of the adjoining site to the south-southeast, the “Pumpkin Patch” site, has proposed new development that has resulted in updated regulatory oversight of the former landfill. In response to the proposed redevelopment, the LARWQCB has indicated that it will impose new Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) to the Pumpkin Patch site. Because the same landfill underlying the Pumpkin Patch site extends beneath the Property and the adjoining site to the north, the LARWQCB may impose new regulatory post-closure landfill monitoring requirements on these sites as well.
Regulatory database information identified known and suspected contamination sites in the area surrounding the Property that may have contributed to groundwater contamination beneath the Property. The oil and gas operations located to the north and east of the Property are also a likely source of groundwater contamination and/or methane.
SCS performed a Phase II site investigation at the Property on April 8, 2017 consisting of soil, soil vapor, and groundwater sampling. Based on the results of the sampling, SCS concluded that there are areas with elevated concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons and petroleum-related VOCs in soil to the southeast of building 6621 East Pacific Coast Highway, in the vicinity of the former oil well sumps. Benzene and naphthalene were detected in groundwater at concentrations above their California drinking water Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). Arsenic, barium, and lead were also detected in groundwater at concentrations equal to or greater than their MCLs or secondary water standards. However, the concentrations of VOCs and metals detected in groundwater during the 2017 Phase II investigation were significantly lower than concentrations reported during groundwater sampling conducted in the late 1980s.
SCS further concluded that VOCs were present in soil vapor at the Property at concentrations generally below the commercial/industrial regulatory screening levels. One sample had a concentration of chloroform slightly above the commercial/industrial screening level.
Conclusions and Recommendations
In summary, SCS has performed a Phase I Environmental Assessment in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Standard Practice E1527 and the requirements of our Master Services Contract with Carmel Partners concerning the Market Place Long Beach Office Park Property located at 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, California.
SCS concludes that the historical uses of the Property for oil drilling and production and as a landfill constitute RECs. There is not currently a regulatory requirement to conduct further investigation of soil or groundwater at the Property. The most recent communication from the LARWQCB regarding the Property was the 1996 letter approving the SWAT investigation. No further action was required at that time. In general, the Post-Closure Maintenance General WDRs adopted on January 24, 2002 for “closed, abandoned, or inactive (CAI) landfills” apply when there is a proposed site development or land use change; if water quality impairment is found, or if nuisance conditions warrant action. Because a change in land use is not currently proposed and the LARWQCB has not imposed new WDRs, additional investigation of the Property is not 5 recommended at this time. SCS recommends that Carmel Partners continue to maintain and operate the methane mitigation system in place at the Property.
Based on the results of the April 2017 soil vapor investigation, the VOC concentrations in soil vapor would not likely be a concern to a regulatory agency under a continued commercial/industrial land use scenario. Additional investigation of soil vapor is not recommended at this time.
6 2 INTRODUCTION
SCS Engineers (SCS) was retained by Carmel Partners Realty Investors, LLC (Carmel Partners or the “User”) to prepare a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) of the Market Place Long Beach Office Park located at 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, California (the “Property”). A location map for the Property is presented as Figure 1 in Appendix A.
The purpose of this Phase I ESA is to identify recognized environmental conditions (RECs) in connection with the Property. The term ‘recognized environmental conditions’, as defined in ASTM Standard Practice E1527-13, means the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on, at, in, or to a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the Property. The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with environmental laws. This assessment was performed in a manner which complies with 40 CFR 312, Standards for Conducting All Appropriate Inquiries, in conformance with ASTM E1527-13, and in conformance with the Master Services Agreement between SCS and Carmel Partners dated March 2017 (Work Order for proposal dated April 20, 2018). At Carmel Partners’ request, this Phase I ESA also addresses the scope of work described in a JPMC Phase I Environmental Site Assessment scope/guidance document revised September 2017, as provided to SCS.
This Phase I ESA is intended to constitute appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property, as required to support the assertion of the innocent landowner, contiguous property owner, and/or bona fide prospective purchaser defenses to liability (collectively the landowner liability protections, or LLPs) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA a.k.a. Superfund), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002.
If known or suspected contamination is identified, Users seeking to maintain LLPs have responsibilities in addition to completion of an AAI-compliant Phase I ESA. These “continuing obligations” include taking “appropriate care” and “reasonable steps” with respect to known or suspected releases of hazardous substances during the term of property ownership. In addition to these requirements under Federal law, there are different requirements under state law with respect to liability protections. On request, SCS Engineers can provide support for clients with continuing obligations, as appropriate.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
This Phase I ESA is based on:
• Interviews with past and/or present owners, operators, and/or occupants of the Property.
• Reviews of federal, tribal, state, and local government records. • Visual inspections of the Property and adjoining properties performed on May 1, 2018. 7 • Review of historical Property use information (topographic maps, aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, existing reports, etc.).
• Commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information about the Property (e.g., interviews with appropriate regulatory agency personnel and review of agency files review of available documents, interviews with other knowledgeable persons). • Degree of obviousness of the presence or likely presence of contamination at the Property, and the ability to detect the contamination by appropriate investigation. • Information provided as a result of the additional inquiries conducted by the User.
S PECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Phase I ESA for the Market Place Long Beach Office Park located at 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, California has been prepared for the review by legal counsel of Carmel Partners, LLC. SCS’ performance of the Phase I ESA is specifically intended to develop information which Carmel Partners’ legal counsel will use in advising the company of its legal rights and/or in advancing its interests in litigation.
The report has been prepared in accordance with the care and skill generally exercised by reputable professionals, under similar circumstances, in this or similar localities. No other warranty, express or implied, is made as to the professional opinions presented herein.
No other party, known or unknown to SCS, is intended as a beneficiary of this work product, its content or information embedded therein. Third parties use this report at their own risk. Third party reliance letters may be issued on request to SCS subject to approval of the Carmel Partners, subject to the terms of the Master Services Agreement between SCS and Carmel Partners. As noted in the JPMC scope of work guidance document, this Phase I ESA report may be relied upon by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and a participating Community Development Corporation, if applicable.
LIMITATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The investigation focused on releases and threatened releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products that could be considered a REC and/or a liability due to their possible presence in significant concentrations (e.g., above acceptable limits set by the Federal or state government) or due to the potential for contaminant migration through exposure pathways (e.g., groundwater). Materials that may contain substances which are not currently deemed hazardous by the federal or state of California EPA are not considered as part of this study.
Unless specifically included in our scope of services, formal surveys for asbestos-containing materials, lead-based paints, fire safety, vapor intrusion, indoor air quality, mold, and similar matters were not part of this assessment. The Property was not evaluated for compliance with land use, zoning, wetlands, or similar laws. This report is not intended to be an environmental compliance audit.
Hazardous substances naturally occurring in plants, soils, and rocks (e.g., heavy metals, naturally occurring asbestos, or radon) are not typically considered in these investigations. Similarly, 8 construction debris (e.g., discarded concrete, asphalt) is not considered to be of concern unless observations suggest that hazardous substances are likely to be present in significant concentrations.
Unless otherwise noted, sampling and laboratory analyses of soil, water, air, building materials, or other media, were not performed as part of this investigation. Positive identification of hazardous substances can only be accomplished through sampling and appropriate laboratory analysis.
SCS Engineers assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of information obtained from, compiled by, or provided by third-party sources, such as regulatory agency listings. Unless obviously inaccurate or if information exists to the contrary, SCS assumes that information collected during this environmental site assessment is accurate and correct. Unless warranted, information collected has not been independently validated as part of this assessment. 3 SITE DESCRIPTION
LOCATION AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION
The Property is located on the northeastern side of East Pacific Coast Highway, to the north of the intersection with Studebaker Road. The Property has been assigned Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 7237-020-040, -041, and -050. The Property consists of three addresses 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, California, 90803, located within Los Angeles County. An APN map is provided as Figure 2. A legal description of the Property is included in a preliminary title report presented in Appendix B.
SITE AND VICINITY CHARACTERISTICS
Adjoini ng Property Use
• North – The Property is bounded to the northwest by the United Artists Long Beach 6 movie theater (6601 East Pacific Coast Highway) and a vacant building most recently occupied by El Torito Mexican Restaurant (6605 East Pacific Coast Highway). City of Long Beach property comprising a portion of the greater Los Cerritos Wetlands borders the Property to the northeast. An oil field and supporting infrastructure (a portion of the Seal Beach Oil Field) is currently within the wetland area to the northeast of the Property. • East – Los Cerritos Wetlands area owned by the City of Long Beach and developed with oil infrastructure also adjoin the Property to the east. • South – Studebaker Road extends partway along the southern side of the Property.
Landscaped areas, a small asphalt-paved parking area, and an undeveloped lot seasonally used as a pumpkin patch or Christmas tree lot are also located to the south of the Property. • West – East Pacific Coast Highway borders the Property immediately to the west. The Marina Shores Shopping Center is located across the street. Tenants in this adjoining shopping center include Mimi’s Café (6670 East Pacific Coast Highway), other restaurants, commercial offices, a Whole Foods grocery market, and a vacant tenant space formerly occupied by Paradise Cleaners (6608 East Pacific Coast Highway). 9 Oil wells and associated oil pipeline/storage tank infrastructure to the north and east of the Property constitute a REC. While they are a possible source of combustible gas migration onto the Property, an existing landfill gas (LFG) control system as currently operated is adequately protecting the site buildings.
With the exception of the former Paradise Cleaners located in the shopping center across the street to the west of the Property, no other environmental issues of concern were noted on the adjoining sites. Dry cleaning operations are commonly associated with releases of solvent that can affect subsurface soil, soil vapor, and groundwater. As discussed in Section 5, there are no indications that there has been a solvent release at the former Paradise Cleaners site. Based on the distance (approximately 350 feet west) and the absence of information about past releases, the former Paradise Cleaners is not likely to affect the environmental condition of the Property.
STRUCTURES, ROADS, AND OTHER RELEVANT SI TE
IMPROVEMENTS
The Property is an approximately 5.5-acre office park comprising three office buildings (6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway) and associated parking lots. A small area at the southeastern corner of the Property extends beyond the office park fence line to an area of historical oil field development. Limited landscaping is present around the perimeters of the buildings and portions of the parking area.

HISTORICAL USE SUMMAR Y
The Property was undeveloped wetland located to the northeast of Alamitos Bay and north of the San Gabriel River until the mid-1920s. By 1928, two oil sumps and oil-related infrastructure were present on the southeastern part of the Property. The rest of the Property was undeveloped land, no longer identifiable as wetland. The oil sumps were no longer visible by 1938, when one oil well was present on the southeastern portion of the Property. In 1947, possibly two oil wells 14 were depicted on a historical topographic map, but only one was visible in an historical aerial photo. Portions of the Property were used as a landfill between mid-1960 and early 1961. Oil wells were no longer visible in aerial photos of the Property by 1964. A dark spot (possibly vegetation or dark soil) was visible at the southeastern corner of the Property in a 1976 aerial photo, a short distance to the west of the historical oil sumps and oil wells. The Property was developed with three office buildings in their current configuration between 1978 and the early 1980s. Numerous tenant improvements have been performed at the office buildings since that time.
The past presence of the landfill, two oil sumps, one or two oil wells, and oil-related infrastructure at the Property constitute a REC.
HISTORICAL USE OF ADJOINING SITES
The surrounding area was also undeveloped wetland prior to the mid-1920s. By 1928, oil field development was occurring to the north, east, and southeast of the Property. The San Gabriel River, located approximately 500 feet to the south of the Property, was channelized by 1938. Oil field operations expanded in surrounding areas in the 1930s and 1940s, including across the street to the west. By the 1950s, some of the oil wells had been plugged and a group of buildings was expanded across the street to the west. Continental Oil Company was listed at an address to the north of the Property in 1960. Oil operations have continued to the northeast and east of the Property through today.
The shopping center to the north was developed in the late-1970s and early 1980s, around the same time as the Property. The shopping center across the street to the west was constructed in the early 2000s.
5 PHYSICAL SETTING ANALYSIS
Physiographic Setting
The Property is located the Los Angeles Coastal Plain in Section 11, Range 12 W, Township 5 S at an elevation of approximately 10 feet above mean sea level. The San Gabriel River is located approximately 550 feet to the southeast, and the Long Beach Marina is about 775 feet to the southwest.
Geology and Soils
The Property is located within the Alamitos Gap, an area of seawater intrusion. The Gap is an alluvial-filled, southwesterly trending feature which transects the northwesterly trending NewportInglewood Uplift and Fault Zone (Seal Beach segment). The banks of the Gap, Bixby Ranch Hill and Landing Hill, are the erosional remnants of an eroded anticlinal fold, which locally is the surface expression of the Newport-Inglewood Uplift. The fold is comprised of Pleistocene and older sediments.
The upper portion of the stratigraphic section that underlies the Property and vicinity consists of unnamed alluvial deposits consisting of interbedded gravels, sandy silts, and clays, approximately 15 80 to 100 feet thick of recent geological age. This is underlain by 200 feet of the Pleistocene Lakewood Formation consisting of marine and continental gravels, sands, sandy silts, silts, and clays. This in turn is underlain by over 1,000 feet of sands and gravelly sands of the Pleistocene San Pedro Formation.
Groundwater
The Property is located in the San Gabriel River Watershed, in the Los Angeles Coastal Plain, and was historically within the Los Cerritos Wetlands. The Property lies within an area of sea water intrusion. The recent alluvial sediments are in direct communication with sea water and act as a conduit for inland migration of saline water. Two additional important conduits for the inland migration of sea water are the Los Cerritos Channel and the San Gabriel River because of their direct contact with the ocean.
During a 1990 groundwater investigation conducted within the adjoining oil fields, groundwater was encountered at a depth of approximately five feet below ground surface (bgs). A 1989 investigation of former landfill areas located on the Property determined that the groundwater flow direction was northeasterly and influenced by tidal movement. The groundwater beneath the Property is saline with a total dissolved solids (TDS) content of over 30,000 milligrams per liter (mg/L).
6 SITE INSPECTION
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OBSERVATIONS
Christopher Romanowski of SCS performed an inspection of the Property and surrounding area on May 1, 2018.
Access to the Property was provided by Ms. Amy Rasilla, a Property Manager with Newmark Knight Frank. Robert, the maintenance engineer, was also present during the site inspection. At the time of the site visits, SCS visually inspected the exterior areas of the Property, interior common areas of each office building, and representative office spaces inside each of the buildings. SCS also reviewed tenant lists and type of operations (office work) for tenant spaces not visually inspected.
During the site inspection, asphalt borehole patches and Underground Service Alert markings were observed in parking areas throughout the Property. These were associated with soil, groundwater, and geotechnical borings conducted in 2017.
Since portions of the Property were historically used as a residential/commercial refuse landfill, a LFG control system is currently operating at the Property. Buildings at 6615 and 6621 East Pacific Coast Highway are constructed with sub-floor crawl spaces, in part to assist with the LFG control systems. Access hatches are located in all utility closets on the first floor. Both passive and air injection LFG control systems are installed at the Property to protect these two buildings.
The 6695 East Coast Highway building is a slab-on-grade construction. 16 Asphalt-paved parking covers approximately 65 percent of the Property. In general, the parking lot was observed to be in fair condition. Some evidence of settlement cracks and one area of differential settling was noted in the parking area at the center of the Property.
A network of methane monitoring wells, vent pipes, and trench vent pipes are present on the Property, particularly on the eastern side of 6615 and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway and in landscaped areas. A ventilation blower associated with the methane gas protection system at 6621 East Pacific Coast Highway is located within a fenced area offsite immediately to the north of the Property.
As discussed in Section 5, SCS Field Services provides Operations, Monitoring, and Maintenance (OM&M) services for the landfill gas control system at the Property (SCS, April 26, 2018).
According to Mr. Steve Croasdale of SCS, the gas control system has been functioning satisfactorily for a number of years, and no methane has been detected beneath any of the buildings on the Property. Hazardous levels of methane have never been detected in sub-slab probes and monitoring wells. The quarterly visual observation of the landfill surface conducted on March 23, 2018 noted the cracking and settlement in the parking lot areas. Some of the most significant cracking is located in the parking area offsite to the north of the Property boundary.
The cracking does not adversely affect the landfill gas control (LFG) facilities, it was cited as a violation by the Los Angeles County Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA), because it affects the Property as a whole.
In addition to the main office park area of the Property, a portion of Parcel 7237-020-041 extends beyond the fence line to the southeast. This portion of the Property was not directly accessible, but could be observed through the fence. This area is situated approximately five feet lower in elevation than the parking lot of the office park. Electrical equipment, trees, a concrete stormwater drain tunnel, and metal pipeline saddles associated with historical oil infrastructure were observed in this portion of the Property.
No industrial or manufacturing activities, railroad spurs, paint booths, emergency generators, sources of air emissions, or automobile hydraulic lifts were noted on the Property.
Drinking Water
Drinking water is supplied to the Property by the City of Long Beach. No drinking water wells are located on the Property. All large public water suppliers in California have been required to test their water and comply with federal and state drinking water standards since the mid-1980s.
Consequently, lead and other contaminants of concern are not expected to be present above applicable primary and secondary drinking water standards.
Wastewater
Industrial wastewater is not currently generated at the Property. Sanitary wastewater is directed to the municipal sanitary sewer system.
17 Natural Drainage
Natural waterways are not currently located on the Property. Site drainage is directed to on-site stormwater collection drains in the parking area or to the surrounding streets. No staining was noted around stormwater drains. As noted above, a concrete stormwater drainage tunnel was noted on the lower, southeastern portion of the Property. Stormwater drains to the wetlands/oil field to the east of the Property through this tunnel.
No standing surface water, ponds, farm tanks, lagoons, swamps, lakes, rivers, springs, or surface impoundments were noted on the Property.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
Individual tenants and building maintenance personnel store small quantities of household janitorial chemicals in the office buildings.
Elevators and Other Hydraulic Equipment
Each of the three buildings has a hydraulic elevator. SCS observed the interior of the mechanical room behind each of the elevators. Small superficial oil stains were noted on the concrete floor at the base of the hydraulic oil tanks inside the mechanical rooms at 6621 and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway. Additionally a 55-gallon drum of hydraulic fluid was observed in the mechanical room of 6615 East Pacific Coast Highway. Photos showing the staining are included in Appendix B. During the inspection by SCS, the maintenance engineer stated that he was not aware of any problems with the elevator equipment. Based on the size of the stains and condition of the concrete floor observed, SCS considers the staining to be a de minimis environmental condition.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE HANDLING AND STORAGE
No evidence of mishandling of the janitorial chemicals was noted during the site inspection. No evidence of a release from the 55-gallon drum of hydraulic fluid in the elevator room at 6615 East Pacific Coast Highway was noted either.
STORAGE TANKS
Other than the elevator hydraulic oil tanks described above, no aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) are located at the Property. No evidence of underground storage tanks (USTs), such as vent pipes, fill ports, etc. was noted during the site inspection.
POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS
Three pad-mounted Southern California Edison (SCE) electrical transformers were noted on the Property, one outside of each building. SCE has stated that they have never specified the purchase of distribution transformers utilizing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as the insulating/cooling fluid. SCE transformers currently utilize mineral oil exclusively. However, in a statistically valid test of over 20,000 SCE distribution transformers, SCE determined that the 18 concentrations of PCBs in the mineral oils in its transformers was less than 50 parts per million (ppm) in over 96 percent of the units. The transformers on the Property have not been tested.
Based on the available information, no significant environmental impact to the subject site is expected from any of the transformers. Any release from the transformers would be SCE’s responsibility. No other potentially PCB-containing equipment was noted during the inspection.
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL ISSUES AND DISTURBED AREAS
A solid waste dumpster is situated within a small walled compound near each of the three buildings. Since the Property is entirely paved except for limited landscaping around the buildings, no obvious disturbed areas were noted. However, as mentioned above, cracked asphalt in the parking lots is an indication of fill material in the subsurface undergoing differential settling. No distressed, discolored, or stained vegetation was observed. No farm waste, feed lot spoils, or manure stockpiles were noted on the Property.
OTHER CONDITIONS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN
Undergroun d Hazardous Materials Pipelines
No obvious aboveground evidence of hazardous materials pipelines was visible on the Property during the site inspection. As discussed in Section 5, there are abandoned and in-service crude oil pipelines located along East Pacific Coast Highway, within 0.1 miles of the Property.
Active, Plugged, or Abandoned Oil and Gas Wells and
Infrastructure
Active oil and gas wells, associated tank batteries, and/or other oil or gas production facilities are not currently located on the Property. As mentioned above, active oil field equipment is located in the wetland area immediately to the northeast of the Property. Electrical equipment associated with the adjoining oil field operations is constructed on the southeastern portion of the Property.
Metal pipeline saddles associated with historical oil infrastructure were observed on and adjacent to the southeastern portion of the Property. As discussed in Section 5, a plugged oil well may have been located on this portion of the Property in the past. The historical oil operations at the Property are considered to be a REC.
Historic Mining Activity or Ore Processing Facilities
No evidence of on-site mining or ore processing facilities was observed during the site inspection.
Electromagne tic Field Concerns
No suspect sources of aboveground electromagnetic fields (e.g., high voltage power lines or electrical substations) identified on, or in close proximity to, the Property.
Wetlands and/or Endangered Species
As noted above, the Property was historically part of the Los Cerritos Wetlands. While a wetlands delineation study is outside the scope of this Phase I ESA, the lower southeastern 19 portion of the Property is situated at a lower elevation than the rest of the Property. According to a review the National Wetlands Inventory Wetland Mapper V2, this portion of the Property may be classified as Freshwater Pond wetland. The adjoining area to the east comprises degraded wetlands developed with oil infrastructure. As shown in the EDR database report (Appendix D) discussed in Section 5, the Property is located within a 500-year flood zone and area designated as State Wetlands.
An endangered species assessment is outside the scope of this Phase I ESA. According to the Los Cerritos Wetlands Stewards, Inc. website, the California least tern (Sternula antillarum browni), a federally-listed endangered migratory bird subspecies, is known to visit the adjoining wetlands.
The brown pelican (Pelecanuas occidentalis), a bird species listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act from 1970 to 2009 is also documented to visit the adjoining wetlands. Other animal and plant species protected under other acts are also known to inhabit the adjoining wetlands. No endangered species were observed on the Property at the time of the site inspection.
Historic Landmarks and Structures
According to a review of the City of Long Beach Planning Department’s Historic Landmarks website, no historic landmarks or structures are located on the Property. A map showing the locations of landmarks in the southeastern portion of Long Beach is provided in Appendix E.
Radon
According to the California Department of Health Service’s February 2016 Radon Program report, screening in the area of the Property (90803 zip code) found no locations (out of 60) where buildings had radon levels greater than or equal to 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L; the EPA action level). The maximum result reported within the boundaries of the zip code was 1.9 pCi/L). The alluvial geology of the Long Beach area is not normally associated with elevated radon levels.
Note that elevated radon levels may also be attributed to other radon sources such as leaking natural gas or numerous building products such as drywall, cinderblock, concrete floors, brick, or stone products. Based on the available information, elevated radon gas is not expected in the area of the Property. No basements and/or subsurface vaults were noted on the Property.
Wells
Several combustible gas monitoring wells were noted on the Property. No drinking water or groundwater monitoring wells were observed on the Property during the site inspection.
Asbestos - Containing Materials and Lead - Based Paint
In general, buildings constructed before 1985 have a high potential for asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The manufacture of most ACMs (except roofing tars/mastics) ended in the late 1970s. However, existing inventories of products could still be used. In addition, roofing tars and mastics can still contain asbestos. Thus, ACMs can be present in building materials regardless of age or date of construction (for example, in roofing felt, vinyl flooring, dry wall mud, etc.). Without sampling and analysis, it is not possible to definitely identify ACMs. 20 Based on known or likely original construction date for structures on the Property (late 1970s/early 1980s, as discussed above), it is possible that ACMs are present.
Lead-based paint (LBP) has been used on structures since the late 1800s. LBP use peaked in the 1920s and gradually fell off until its ban. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates that about 3 of 4 houses built before 1980 contain LBP. In 1973, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) established a maximum lead content in paint of 0.5 percent by weight (or 1.0 mg/cm2) in a dry film of newly applied paint. In 1978, the CPSC lowered the allowable lead level in paint to 0.06 percent. The use of LBP was not prohibited until 1980. Buildings constructed or renovated between 1940 and 1980 have a much higher probability of having LBP.
The presence of LBP cannot be determined without testing. As discussed in this report, the buildings were constructed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, so the presence of LBP cannot be ruled out.
INTERVIEWS
During the site inspection, SCS also interviewed the office park property manager and the maintenance engineer. Information provided by these individuals is discussed where appropriate throughout this report.
COMMONLY KNOWN OR REASONABLY ASCERTAINABLE
INFORMATION
In order to identify commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information about the Property, SCS reviewed previous environmental reports and various regulatory agency files and interviewed regulatory agency personnel. The following information was identified.
Previous Environmental Reports
The following previous environmental reports were provided to SCS for review as part of this Phase I ESA.
SCS conducted a Phase I ESA on the Property on behalf of Bixby Ranch Company in 2001 (SCS, June 15, 2001). At that time, the Property was developed in its current configuration. No use or storage of potentially hazardous chemicals was noted on the Property during the site inspection.
While SCS no longer has copies, the 2001 Phase I ESA report included the following summary of a 1986 environmental report prepared by Moore & Taber, Inc.:
Moore & Taber (1986) – This report presented the results of a soil and foundation investigation for the “proposed office and restaurant buildings” planned for Phase II of the Market Place Office Park development. The Property was described as a vacant lot covered with piles of soil, asphalt pavement, concrete, and clay roofing tile. It was bordered to the northeast by an existing oil field owned by Bixby Ranch Company. The oil field was situated about 9 to 14 feet lower in elevation than the surface of the vacant lot with a ten-foot fill slope separating the oil field from the vacant lot.
21 Test excavation on the Property indicated that the Property was underlain by fill soils and household refuse. The refuse consisted predominantly of paper (newspapers and magazines) with smaller amounts of plastic, metal, tires, wood, glass, and green waste. All of the newspapers observed dated from 1960. Groundwater was generally encountered about 13 to 18 feet bgs. The vertical extent of the trashy fill varied from about 5 feet to approximately 33 feet below the existing ground surface.
SCS Engineers Phase I (April 2017) – SCS Engineers conduced a Phase I ESA on the Property on behalf of Carmel Partners Realty Investors, LLC in 2017 (SCS, April 26, 2017). The Property was developed in the same configuration it is in today and with similar tenants and tenant operations. SCS noted that the Property was historically used as a residential/commercial refuse landfill and as a result there is a landfill gas control system monitoring the Property. The Phase I ESA found that the quarterly monitoring program was operating as intended and the site buildings are adequately protected. There was evidence of small stress cracks and an area of settling noted in the central part of the parking lot, likely related to the landfill.
No indications of contamination were identified with the respect to the then current use of the Property. Historical developments on the Property had included both oil/gas infrastructure and a landfill. Past investigation performed by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) found that volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and metals were detected in the groundwater.
The Phase I determined that the Property was historically used for oil drilling and production operations, including former oil sumps and oil-related infrastructure. Also from mid-1960 through early 1961 the Property was used as a landfill. All these former operations were identified as RECs. SCS recommended that a soil vapor survey be performed at perimeter probe locations outside the footprint of the landfill, soil sampling be performed in the area of historic oil operations, and groundwater be sampled in five locations.
SCS Engineers Phase II (May 2017) – SCS performed a Phase II site investigation at the Property on April 8, 2017. The investigation consisted of soil, soil vapor, and groundwater sampling.
Based on the results of the sampling, SCS concluded that elevated concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons (up to 10,800 milligrams per kilogram [mg/kg]) were identified in soil at the 10 foot depth of boring B1, installed to the east of the eastern building (6621 East Pacific Coast Highway). Additional borings to the south and east of boring B1 identified petroleum hydrocarbons, but at relatively low concentrations. The presence of the building prevented any further characterization to the west and northwest. This area corresponds to a location identified in historical aerial photographs where sumps were present. The petroleum-related compound 1,2,3-Trichloropropane was detected in soil at the 10 foot depth of boring B2 at a concentration that represents a potential risk to groundwater, but it was not detected in groundwater samples.
Benzene and naphthalene were each detected in one groundwater sample at concentrations above their California drinking water Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). Arsenic, barium, and lead were detected in one or more groundwater sample at concentrations (or estimated concentrations) equal to or greater than their MCLs or secondary water standard.
SCS further concluded that VOCs were present in soil vapor at the Property at concentrations which may represent a risk of vapor intrusion under a residential land use scenario. With one 22 exception, all VOC concentrations were detected at concentrations below the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) recommended screening levels. Chloroform was detected in one of 15 samples at a concentration of 1.3 micrograms per liter (µg/l), narrowly above the DTSC-recommended screening level of 1.1 µg/l for commercial/industrial sites.
Benzene was detected in two of 15 samples at concentrations above the residential DTSCrecommended screening level, but below the screening level for a commercial/industrial land use scenario. SCS noted that, if brought to the attention of a regulatory agency, further investigation and/or a monitoring program may be required if the proposed land use were to change.
SCS recommended that any further investigation at the Property be conducted with regulatory agency oversight. This recommendation was supported by a finding that the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) has already determined that the PostClosure Maintenance General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) adopted on January 24, 2002 for post-closure of “closed, abandoned, or inactive (CAI) landfills” should apply to the Pumpkin Patch site adjoining the Property to the south-southeast. The same landfill extends beneath the Property and it is likely that the LARWQCB would also function as the lead regulatory agency for further investigation of the Property.
SCS Field Services (2018) – SCS Engineers has been monitoring the methane system at the Property for more than 20 years. SCS reviewed the most recent quarterly methane control system operation report for the Property prepared by SCS Field Services (SCS, April 26, 2018).
Cracking and settlement was observed in the parking lot areas. This report indicated that the methane gas control facilities were performing satisfactorily, preventing the buildup of combustible levels of methane in the buildings on the Property. Combustible gas was not detected in monitoring wells or sub-floor probes during sampling on March 23, 2018.
Combustible gas was detected at passive vent pipe monitoring location VP-2 (18.1 percent by volume in air) located in the parking lot area at the center of the Property. The vent pipe is designed to provide a preferential pathway for methane to flow to the atmosphere rather than accumulate in the subsurface or in structures. A copy of this report is included in Appendix E.
Previous environmental reports obtained through the State Water Resources Control Board’s GeoTracker and CalRecycle websites are summarized in the section below.
Regulatory Agency Records
Local regulatory agencies and other sources were contacted in an effort to identify any known or suspected contamination sites or incidents of hazardous waste storage or disposal which might have resulted in soil or groundwater contamination within a one-mile radius of the Property.
Within the City of Long Beach, the Long Beach Fire Department (LBFD) generally acts as the lead enforcement agency for underground storage tank compliance. In the event of potential site contamination, the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services (LBDHHS) assumes oversight. SCS contacted both the LBFD and the LBDHHS and neither reported having files pertaining to the Property. If a tank has leaked and/or groundwater contamination is suspected, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) generally becomes the lead agency in supervising contaminant characterization and cleanup. 23 The following is a summary of selected environmental reports for the former Market Place Landfill available on the State Water Resources Control Board’s GeoTracker website (LARWQCB Case No. 60-089, GeoTracker ID No. T10000004438). Note that the former Market Place Landfill (also known as City Dump Salvage No. 2) extended onto the adjoining undeveloped parcel to the south-southeast (referred to as the Pumpkin Patch) and to the adjoining movie theater site to the northwest. It was a Class II waste disposal facility that operated from mid-1960 through early 1961. The GeoTracker file includes correspondence letters and permitting information from 1960 about the former landfill. Relevant information from those documents, including types of waste the landfill was permitted to receive, were summarized in reports below. The GeoTracker file also includes various correspondence letters from the late 1980s and early 1990s, when a Solid Waste Assessment Test review of the former landfill was conducted.
IT Corporation (1987) – This report presented the results of a 1987 site investigation conducted by IT which included 10 borings for soil and refuse sampling and placement of two groundwater monitoring wells.
Historical information presented in this report indicated that City Dump Salvage No. 2 (City of Long Beach) began disposing of refuse on this site in mid-1960 and ceased operations in early 1961. According to IT, the landfill roughly paralleled Pacific Coast Highway and extended from beyond the northwestern side of the Property southeasterly onto the vacant lot located across Studebaker Road to the south-southeast (the Pumpkin Patch). The operating permit allowed for the excavation and subsequent filling with refuse of a trench below the groundwater table.
Permitted wastes included inert solids, household and commercial refuse, and garbage and market refuse. Final cover of the landfill was in place by May 16, 1961. At the time of IT’s investigation, the Property was vacant and Studebaker Road was only proposed.
IT encountered groundwater at an average depth of 15 feet below grade. The groundwater was characterized as essentially seawater with no discernable gradient. Water-level measurements conducted over several days indicated that groundwater levels fluctuated with oceanic tides.
Based on their investigation, IT concluded that contaminants from the landfill did not appear to be migrating from the landfill. With the exception of lead, no hazardous substances were detected in landfill samples at concentrations above regulatory limits. Total lead concentrations up to 386 ppm and soluble lead levels up to 26 ppm were detected in refuse samples. Based on the presence of lead and trace (non-hazardous) concentrations of other metals and cyanide, IT speculated that some plating wastes may have been illegally disposed of in the landfill.
IT Corporation (1989) – In 1988, IT conducted a Solid Waste Assessment Test (SWAT) of the Market Place Sanitary Landfill under the oversight of the California Regional Water Quality Board. The SWAT consisted of the installation of five groundwater monitoring wells at the site, including upgradient and downgradient locations. Groundwater was encountered at depths of 6 to 14 feet below ground surface; refuse was detected to approximately 30 feet below grade at two areas of the landfill.
Based on the information presented in this report, the landfill was permitted to accept garbage and market refuse, household and commercial refuse (including dry mud cake from oil well sumps, paint sludge from spray booths, oil-soaked excelsior, dried paint in drums, residue and grit from 24 the Hyperion sludge plant), and inert solids (including steel-mill slag and asbestos). Additionally, ash residue from a fire at the site in October 1961 was buried in the southern portion of the landfill. The site received wastes from the City of Long Beach, B-Z Disposal Service, J and S Disposal (serving the City of Lakewood), the Veteran’s Administration Hospital, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, and the general public.
The SWAT investigation identified benzene (up to 800 micrograms per liter [µg/L]), ethylbenzene (up to 100 µg/L), toluene (up to 10 µg/L), xylenes (up to 3.8 µg/L), bis (2- ethylhexyl) phthalate (up to 42 µg/L), di-n-octylphthalate (up to 66 µg/L), methyl ethyl ketone (up to 8.4 µg/L), methyl isobutyl ketone (up to 26 µg/L), trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (up to 0.6 µg/L), and acetone (up to 130 µg/L) in groundwater. Benzene was detected at concentrations above the MCL for drinking water in California. For all other detected VOCs, there either is not an established MCL or the concentrations were below their corresponding MCLs. IT noted that the benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylenes may be attributable to a service station located 1,000 feet northwest of the Property, though SCS disagrees with this conclusion given the distance of that service station from the Property. Considering the history of the area, on-site oil and gas activities is a more likely source of the benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene and xylenes. The two phthalates were believed to be from the PVC well casings. The ketone compounds were thought to be from the decomposition of fats and plastics in the landfill. Although several metals (iron, manganese) were detected at levels above MCLs, the concentrations were consistent with background groundwater samples collected in the same area.
Conclusions regarding the leakage and migration of hazardous substances from the former landfill site were reserved pending further quarterly groundwater sampling.
SCS Engineers (1990) – This report presented the results of an Air Solid Waste Assessment Test (Air SWAT) conducted over the landfill site during May, June, and July 1989. The report noted that approximately half of the landfill had been paved and was being used for parking with the footprint of one office building overlying buried refuse. The remainder of the landfill was undeveloped land.
Active and passive subsurface gas migration control measures had been installed by the Bixby Ranch Company to prevent landfill gas migration into site structures. In addition, a network of subsurface gas monitoring wells and subsurface gas probes had been installed in natural soils surrounding the landfill and below threatened structures. These probes were (and continue to be) monitored on a quarterly basis.
The Air SWAT test program consisted of the collection of one internal landfill gas sample and 15 ambient air samples. These samples were analyzed for methane and various volatile chlorinated organic compounds.
Methane was detected in the landfill gas sample at a concentration of approximately 40 percent by volume. A surface scan of the unpaved areas of the landfill surface failed to detect methane above ambient air concentrations.
No volatile chlorinated organic compounds were detected in the landfill gas. However, tetrachloromethane, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and 1,1,1-trichloroethane were 25 detected in ambient air samples. As these compounds appeared to be present in both upwind and downwind samples, the report concluded that it was questionable whether the contaminants were of landfill origin.
IT Corporation (1991) – This report presented the results of one year of quarterly monitoring and sampling at the landfill. Elevated concentrations of general chemical parameters, metals, and several organic compounds were detected in groundwater from downgradient wells. However, elevated concentrations of several chemical constituents, mainly VOCs, were also detected in groundwater from upgradient wells. In addition, the report noted that a property located directly west of the site across Pacific Coast Highway, had severe soil and groundwater contamination. In addition, a leaking underground storage tank site was identified 1,000 feet northwest of the site.
LARWQCB (1994) – This April 20, 1996 letter from the LARWQCB to the Bixby Ranch Company summarizes the results of the SWAT reports discussed above. The LARWQCB noted that “in most cases, upgradient VOC concentrations exceed downgradient concentrations, suggesting that there is an upgradient, offsite source.” This letter also summarizes maximum concentrations of base/neutral/acid extractable compounds (BNAs) detected in groundwater. The BNAs included the pesticides (alpha-BHC, delta-BHC, 4,4’-DDE, 4,4’-DDT, Endosulfan I, gamma-BHC, and Heptachlor). The concentrations were generally higher in upgradient designated groundwater wells than those in downgradient locations. Of the metals detected in groundwater, lead was identified at a maximum concentration of 0.20 milligrams per liter (mg/L), above the drinking MCL at the time of 0.05 mg/L. The MCL has since been lowered to 0.015 mg/L. Arsenic was also detected in upgradient and downgradient wells at concentrations equal to, or greater than, current MCLs. The LARWQCB concluded that leachate indicators in groundwater suggest possible releases affecting groundwater. The agency conditionally approved the SWAT report, but requested two additional semi-annual groundwater monitoring events for VOCs, BNAs, metals, and general minerals.
IT Corporation (1995 and 1996) – These reports presented the results of the additional semiannual groundwater sampling and analyses. At this time, groundwater was determined to be flowing to the east and northeast. Groundwater samples for downgradient wells contained detectable concentrations of several aromatics and halocarbons. With the exception of benzene and vinyl chloride, all of the concentrations were below drinking water MCLs.
LARWQCB (1996) – This January 30, 1996 letter from the LARWQCB to the Bixby Ranch Company marked the conclusion of the SWAT reporting. It notes that nickel was detected in upgradient and downgradient wells at concentrations below the California MCL for drinking water. Based on the additional semi-annual reporting, the LARWQCB concluded that the groundwater monitoring network was capable of detecting a release at the landfill and that the landfill had not adversely impacted groundwater quality beneath the Property. It therefore approved the SWAT reporting.
Although the landfill was closed in accordance with regulations in effect at the time of closure (1961), current landfill closure standards are more stringent. Both the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) and the County Department of Health Services must approve any major development or redevelopment on older landfills. In granting approval, the CIWMB may require that the entire former landfill site be brought up to current standards. There is, however, 26 no systematic enforcement of the current landfill closure standards in the absence of major new development.
LARWQCB (2015) – The LARWQCB file is for the former landfill, and that landfill was located both on the Property and the adjoining sites to the northwest and south-southeast. The file also includes a November 25, 2015 letter from the LARWQCB to Lyon Housing (Pumpkin Patch) XLV, LLC. In it, the agency indicates that it has received a Report of Waste Discharge dated October 10, 2015 (not available to SCS for review) conducted in preparation of proposed development at 7001 East Pacific Coast Highway. In their letter, the LARWQCB states that the general Postclosure Maintenance WDRs adopted on January 24, 2002 for postclosure maintenance of CAI landfills applied to the former Market Place Landfill. While this letter is directed at proposed redevelopment of the adjoining Pumpkin Patch site to the south-southeast, the application of the WDRs would likely be extended to the former landfill in its entirety. The letter specifically states that proposed investigation at the Pumpkin Patch is deemed to update the SWAT report approved in 1996. As a result, proposed soil and groundwater investigations at the Pumpkin Patch site could trigger new landfill monitoring and reporting requirements for the portion of the landfill on the Property. In general, the WDRs for postclosure maintenance of CAI landfills is applied when there is a proposed site development or land use change that jeopardizes the integrity of the existing cover; if water quality impairment is found, as part of a groundwater monitoring program; or if nuisance conditions warrant such activity (LARWQCB, 2002).
LARWQCB (2016) – Following delays encountered while obtaining Coastal Commission approval to conduct additional investigation, Advanced Environmental Concepts Inc. (AEC) conducted a soil and groundwater assessment at the Pumpkin Patch site (AEC, July 2016). The objective of the investigation was to evaluate the vertical and horizontal extent of TPH, VOCs, PNAs, mercury, and PCBs associated with the former landfill. Five groundwater monitoring wells were installed to assess groundwater quality within and around the perimeter of the former landfill footprint. AEC indicated that groundwater would be monitored quarterly from the five wells for one year to potential contamination trends. Gasoline-, diesel-, and oil-range TPH and VOCs were detected in soil samples collected at the site. Groundwater samples exhibited detectable concentrations of TPH, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, benzene, ethylbenzene, naphthalene, tert-butyl alcohol (TBA), and PCBs. AEC recommended conducting additional groundwater sampling as outlined in LARWQCB Order No. R4-2002-022 and Monitoring and Reporting Program CI2767. Following review of a year’s sampling results additional recommendations would be made.
Cal Recycle SWIS (2017) – Quarterly inspections of the facility are performed by the County of Los Angeles. Violations were noted for all four quarterly inspections for site maintenance.
According to inspection reports there was significant landfill settling that cause depressions, slopes, cracks, and pot holes that required repair. No other violations were reported.
LARWQCB (2017) – AEC performed semiannual groundwater monitoring at the Pumpkin Patch site. During the first semiannual event six groundwater monitoring wells were monitored.
Results from the sampling indicated that trace to moderate detection of gasoline, diesel, and oil were in monitoring wells AEC-1, AEC-2, AEC-3, and AEC-4, which are located nearest the landfill trench. There was detectable concentrations of PCB in AEC-2 attributed to decomposing light ballasts or automotive switches. Chloride, sulfate, and total dissolved solids were also detected above secondary MCLs in all wells except AEC-1 and AEC-2. AEC recommended that 27 an additional groundwater monitoring well be installed at the southern boundary of the property which is downgradient. The RWQCB approved a workplan on June 9, 2017 for the installation of the downgradient well, which was installed by AEC on July 6, 2017. AEC performed second semiannual monitoring on August 17, 2017. Once again, the highest concentrations of PCBs were detected in AEC-2. Results from the second semiannual monitoring report were similar to the first semiannual monitoring report. AEC recommend to continue groundwater monitoring at the site.
Cal Recycle SWIS (2018) – First quarter inspection from 2018 was the only inspection available for review. The facility was in violation for significant areas of settling and ponding in the parking lot area as reported in the previous inspections.
Copies of selected previous reports and letters from the LBFD, LBHHS, and DTSC indicating that they do not have files pertaining to the Property are included in Appendix E. In SCS’ opinion, the regulatory records reviewed were sufficient to fulfill the objectives of ASTM E1527-
13. Based on the available information, it is unlikely that the Environmental Protection Agency, County Vector Control, or Department of Public Works would have additional information necessary to evaluate the environmental condition of the Property. 5 PUBLIC RECORD REVI EW SECTION
A database search for sites listed on various federal, state, tribal, and local databases in the area around the Property was obtained from EDR (February 16, 2017). A description of each of the databases searched is included in the report, which is attached as Appendix F. Among the databases included in the EDR report are NPL (federal, tribal, and state-equivalent), proposed and delisted NPL, CORRACTS (RCRA facilities subject to corrective actions), hazardous waste sites identified for investigation or remediation (CERCLIS, State CERCLIS, VCP, Brownfields Calsites, etc.), LUST, sites with engineering controls, former CERCLIS (NFRAP), RCRA and state hazardous waste generators, ERNS, SWLF, USTs, and Toxic Pits.
Review of these records satisfies all requirements as set forth in 40 CFR Section 312.26 (b) and (c) with regard to the review of federal, tribal, and state government records of databases of such government records and local government records and databases of such records pertaining to both the Property and the nearby or adjoining properties. Further, the search distances for each particular database are as specified in 40 CFR 312.26 and ASTM E1527-13.
Any known or suspected contaminated sites included on these lists within 0.25 miles of the Property likely to affect the environmental condition of the Property are discussed in the following text. As a general rule, sites beyond 0.25 miles are not likely to impact a site significantly. Any sites beyond 0.25 miles with a high potential to impact the Property are also discussed. (Please note: the distances and directions listed in this report have been field verified and might not always match those in the EDR report.)
Sites such as TSD facilities, hazardous waste generators, HAZNET, FINDS, SQGs, LQGs, USTs, HIST UST, RCRA violations, and TRIS facilities with toxic chemical releases (generally in accordance with permitting requirements - into the air, water, or land as reported under SARA 28 Title III) use or store hazardous materials and thus may pose a potential problem in the event of a spill or leak. However, unless these sites also appear in an agency list of contaminated sites, there is no evidence of any problems at this time. Therefore, sites on these lists will not be discussed unless on or in close proximity to the Property. In SCS’ professional judgement, the databases reviewed as part of this Phase I ESA are sufficiently complete and sufficiently current to evaluate the Property in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E1527-13 and AAI.
Please refer to Appendix F for further information on these sites.
PROPERTY LISTINGS
The Property address of 6615 East Pacific Coast Highway appears in the EDR Hist Auto database, as the location of an Ultramar historical auto station from 2005 through 2009. Since historical information does not indicate there was an auto station at the Property, this database listing may refer to Ultramar offices in one of the tenant spaces.
City Dump & Salvage #2 appears in the database report under the address 7001-7199 PCH North of San Gabriel River (CA SWF/LF and CA WMUDS/SWAT). The SWF/LF database is maintained by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). It contains information about solid active, closed, and inactive landfills. The landfill was located on the Property and the adjoining land to the southeast and northwest. The history of the landfill is discussed in greater detail in Section 6 of this report.
ADJACENT SITE LISTINGS
Paradise Cleaners appears in the database report (EDR Hist Cleaner and CA DRYCLEANERS) at 6608 East Pacific Coast Highway, across the street to the west of the Property. The database information indicates that the cleaners, which is still present today, began dry cleaning and laundry services at the site in 2002. There are no indications of past releases at Paradise Cleaners.
Based on the distance from the Property and the absence of known releases, this site is not likely to negatively affect the environmental condition of the Property.
OTHER DATABASE SITES
The EDR report provides a summary table of regulatory database sites within specified distances of the Property, including: 1. standard environmental records, 2. additional environmental records, and 3. high risk historical records. This summary table is provided beginning on Page 4 of the EDR report (Appendix F). In addition to the Property and adjacent sites listings discussed above, SCS identified the following sites of concern within 0.25 miles of the Property:
• Circle K Stores Inc. Site #2211310/Exxon RIS #73047/Mobil SS # 18-BT7, 6401 East Pacific Coast Highway (approximately 0.22 miles north-northwest) (RCRA-SQG, CA
LUST, FINDS, CA HIST CORTESE, CA SWEEPS UST, CA FID UST, CA FID UST, and ECHO).
29 Based on distance and anticipated groundwater gradient the Circle K/Exxon/Mobil site is not likely to negatively affect the environmental condition of the Property.
The other sites within 0.25 miles of the Property with known releases are down- or cross-gradient or based on distance and/or case status are not likely to affect the Property. In addition, other sites within 0.25 miles do not have known releases such as RCRA small quantity generators, HAZNET, FINDS, ECHO, DRYCLEANERS, and UST sites. None are known to have any contamination at this time; therefore, none are likely to have impacted the Property. The Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station appears in the database as a DOD facility. While defense sites have a potential for significant environmental concerns, this facility is located nearly one mile to the south-southeast. Therefore, it is unlikely that it has affected the environmental condition of the Property.
Unmappable or Orphan Sites
Three unmappable sites were identified in the EDR Report. Unmappable sites cannot be plotted due to inaccurate or incomplete addresses. One of the unmappable sites is the City Dump and Salvage #2, which is known to be located on the Property and the adjoining site to the south. It is discussed earlier in this report. Based on review of the provided data, including the estimated locations of the second unmappable site in relation to the Property, it appears unlikely that it has adversely affected the environmental condition of the Property.
LANDFILLS
In addition to the Property landfill listings mentioned above, the EDR Database includes a CA SWF/LF listing for a LA County Flood Control Dump located at the southwestern corner of Westminster Avenue and Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Highway). Based on distance from the Property (approximately 0.25 miles), this facility is not likely to negatively affect the environmental condition of the Property.
OIL AND GAS WELLS
Available oil and gas well maps from the California Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) were reviewed to identify oil and gas wells on the Property or in the nearby area. According to the Digital Online Mapping System (DOMS 2.1), the Property is situated within the Seal Beach oil field. One oil and gas production well was historically located on the Property and is listed as “plugged and abandoned.” Conoco Inc. Bixby A Well 72 (API #03707143) is mapped beneath the southeastern portion of the 6621 East Pacific Coast Highway building. A second oil and gas production well was historically located either on, or immediately outside, the southeastern corner of the Property. Synergy Oil & Gas, LLC Bixby A Well 18 (API #03706991) is mapped either on, or very near, the lower southeastern portion of the Property situated beyond the fence line of the current shopping center.
Records for these wells are not available online. As discussed in Section 6, historical aerial photographs indicate that, in addition to the wells, there were historically oil sumps at the southeastern portion of the Property. The historical oil operations on the Property constitute a REC.
30 A map showing the locations of dozens of other current and former oil and gas wells in the general area of the Property is included in Appendix E. While there is a potential that current and/or plugged oil and gas wells could be a source for methane migration beneath buildings at the Property, the existing LFG control system appears to be adequately mitigating methane risks, regardless of the source.
NATIONAL PIPELINE MAPPING SYSTEM (NPMS)
SCS reviewed the NPMS website for the Property and surrounding area to identify any hazardous materials pipelines. The NPMS is a geographic information system (GIS) created by the U.S.
Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), and Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) in cooperation with other federal and state governmental agencies and the pipeline industry. The NPMS consists of geospatial data, attribute data, public contact information, and metadata pertaining to the interstate and intrastate hazardous liquid trunklines and hazardous liquid low-stress lines as well as gas transmission pipelines, liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, and hazardous liquid breakout tanks (tanks that receive and store liquids transported by pipeline) jurisdictional to PHMSA. The nominal accuracy of geospatial data in the NPMS is +/-500 feet. The NPMS does not contain information on interconnects, pump and compressor stations, valves, direction of flow, capacity, throughput, or operating pressure. In addition, distribution and gathering pipelines are not included in the NPMS.
The NPMS is built from data submitted by pipeline, LNG plant, and breakout tank facility operators. Since 2002, transmission pipeline and LNG plant facility operators are required to submit mapping information to the NPMS and to update their submissions annually. Breakout tank operators are able to submit data to the NPMS on a voluntary basis.
Based on review of the NPMS website, there are abandoned and in-service crude oil pipelines located along East Pacific Coast Highway, within 0.1 miles of the Property. 7 USER PROVIDED INFORMATION

TITLE RECORDS
A November 29, 2016 preliminary title report prepared by First American Title Insurance Company of Irvine, California was provided to SCS for review by Cox, Castle & Nicholson. The Property was purchased by Carmel Partners in 2017. Prior to that time, the Property was owned collectively by 14 entities, including single individuals, partnerships, companies, and family trusts. According to the title report, title and interest in and to all existing and effective oil and gas leases and agreements including royalties are reserved by Fred H. Bixby Company. There are easements on the Property for Southern California Edison (electrical utility), City of Long Beach (municipal water lines), sewers/storm drains, and a sign. Unspecified abutting site owners holds rights of ingress and egress to or from Pacific Coast Highway. A copy of the preliminary report is provided in Appendix B.
ENVIRONMENTAL LIENS OR ACTIVITY AND USE LIMITATIONS
No information regarding environmental liens or activity and use limitations was provided to SCS. No environmental liens or activity/use limitations were identified by SCS during the course of this assessment.
SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE
No specialized knowledge regarding the Property was provided to SCS by the User’s legal counsel.
VALUATION REDUCTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IS SUES
No property valuation information was provided to SCS.
8 DEGREE OF OBVIOUSNES S OF THE PRESENCE/LIKELY
PRESENCE OF CONTAMINATION ON THE PROPERTY
There are no indications of contamination issues associated with the current use of the Property.
As discussed above, historical developments at the Property have included both oil/gas infrastructure and a landfill. Past investigations at the Property indicate that industrial waste may 32 have been landfilled at the Property. VOCs, pesticides, and metals have been detected in groundwater at the Property and are attributable to the historical oil and gas exploration and potentially the historical landfill operations. Another ongoing concern at the Property relates to LFG and migration of methane from adjoining oil field properties. There is a passive LFG control system supplemented by an intermittently operated air blower installed at the Property. In the 20+ years since this system was installed, no methane has been detected in any of the on-site buildings despite the presence of methane detected in some perimeter probes and venting locations. As long as the Property use does not change and the gas control system remains operational, there should be no methane-related concerns with the Property. 9 DATA GAPS
A data gap is a lack of or inability to obtain information required by the standard. If such data gaps exist, those gaps must be identified, the sources of information consulted to address the gaps, and the significance of such data gaps with regard to the ability to identify conditions indicative of a released or threatened release must be commented on.
A data gap represents an inability on the part of the environmental professional to obtain information required by the standards and practices of 40 CFR 312 to fully identify conditions indicative of releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances on, at, in, or to the Property.
No data gaps were identified during the preparation of this Phase I ESA. 10 CONFLICT CERTIFICATION
SCS Engineers has no present or contemplated future ownership interest or financial interest in the real estate that is the subject of this Environmental Assessment Report; and SCS Engineers has no personal interest with respect to the subject matter of the Environmental Assessment Report of the parties involved and consultant has no relationship with the property or the owners thereof which would prevent an independent analysis of the environmental or other conditions of the Property.

29 12 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on the scope of work performed, SCS finds the following:
The Property is located on the northeastern side of East Pacific Coast Highway, to the north of the intersection with Studebaker Road. The Property is an approximately 5.5-acre office park comprising three office buildings (6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway) and associated parking lots. It was previously used for oil production and as a landfill. The past presence of the landfill, two oil sumps, one or two oil wells, and oil-related infrastructure at the Property constitute recognized environmental conditions (RECs). Oil wells and associated oil pipeline/storage tank infrastructure located to the north and east of the Property also constitute a REC. During the site inspection, small superficial oil stains were noted on the concrete floor at the base of the hydraulic oil tanks inside the mechanical rooms at 6621 and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway. Based on the size of the stains and condition of the concrete floor observed, SCS considers the staining to be a de minimis environmental condition.
Current tenants include commercial business offices including real estate, medical counseling, chiropractic/acupuncture, accounting, insurance, legal, an exercise studio, and a physical therapy office (no X-Ray equipment onsite). There are no indications of contamination issues associated with the current use of the Property, although, historical developments at the Property have included both oil/gas infrastructure and a landfill. Past investigations at the Property conducted under LARWQCB oversight indicate that industrial waste may have been disposed at the Property. VOCs, pesticides, and metals have been detected in groundwater and are attributable to the historical oil and gas exploration and potentially the historical landfill operations. Another ongoing concern at the Property relates to LFG and migration of methane from adjoining oil field properties. A passive landfill gas control system supplemented by an intermittently operated air blower is present at the Property. In the 20+ years since this system was installed, no methane has been detected in any of the on-site buildings. As long as Property use does not change and the gas control system remains operational, SCS does not anticipate any methane-related concerns at the Property.
Although the landfill was closed in accordance with regulations in effect at the time of closure (1961), current landfill closure standards are more stringent. Both the CIWMB and the County Department of Health Services (the LEA) must approve any major development or redevelopment on older landfills. In granting approval for major new developments, the CIWMB may require that the entire former landfill site be brought up to current standards. There is, however, no systematic enforcement of the current landfill closure standards in the absence of major new development.
The Property owner of the adjoining site to the south-southeast, the “Pumpkin Patch” site, has proposed new development that has resulted in updated regulatory oversight of the former landfill. In response to the proposed redevelopment, the LARWQCB has indicated that it will impose new WDRs to the Pumpkin Patch site. Because the same landfill underlying the Pumpkin Patch site extends beneath the Property and the adjoining site to the north, the 30 LARWQCB may impose new regulatory post-closure landfill monitoring requirements on these sites as well.
Regulatory database information identified known and suspected contamination sites in the area surrounding the Property that may have contributed to groundwater contamination beneath the Property. The oil and gas operations located to the north and east of the Property are also a likely source of groundwater contamination and/or methane.
SCS performed a Phase II site investigation at the Property on April 8, 2017 consisting of soil, soil vapor, and groundwater sampling. Based on the results of the sampling, SCS concluded that there are areas with elevated concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons and petroleum-related VOCs in soil to the southeast of building 6621 East Pacific Coast Highway, in the vicinity of the former oil well sumps. Benzene and naphthalene were detected in groundwater at concentrations above their California drinking water MCLs. Arsenic, barium, and lead were also detected in groundwater at concentrations equal to or greater than their MCLs or secondary water standards.
However, the concentrations of VOCs and metals detected in groundwater during the 2017 Phase II investigation were significantly lower than concentrations reported during groundwater sampling conducted in the late 1980s.
SCS further concluded that VOCs were present in soil vapor at the Property at concentrations below the commercial/industrial regulatory screening levels, with one exception. One sample had a concentration of chloroform slightly above the commercial/industrial screening level.
Conclusions and Recommendations
In summary, SCS has performed a Phase I Environmental Assessment in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Standard Practice E1527 and the requirements of our Master Services Contract with Carmel Partners concerning the Market Place Long Beach Office Park Property located at 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, California.
SCS concludes that the historical uses of the Property for oil drilling and production and as a landfill constitute RECs. There is not currently a regulatory requirement to conduct further investigation of soil or groundwater at the Property. The most recent communication from the LARWQCB regarding the Property was the 1996 letter approving the SWAT investigation. No further action was required at that time. In general, the Post-Closure Maintenance General WDRs adopted on January 24, 2002 for “closed, abandoned, or inactive (CAI) landfills” apply when there is a proposed site development or land use change; if water quality impairment is found, or if nuisance conditions warrant action. Because a change in land use is not currently proposed and the LARWQCB has not imposed new WDRs, additional investigation of the Property is not recommended at this time. SCS recommends that Carmel Partners continue to maintain and operate the methane mitigation system in place at the Property.
Based on the results of the April 2017 soil vapor investigation, the VOC concentrations in soil vapor would not likely be a concern to a regulatory agency under a continued commercial/industrial land use scenario. Additional investigation of soil vapor is not recommended at this time.

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SCS Engineers (SCS) was retained by the Carmel Partners Realty Investors, LLC to prepare a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the Market Place Long Beach Office Park located at 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, California (the “Property”). This assessment was performed in a manner which complies with 40 CFR 312, Standards for Conducting All Appropriate Inquiries, in general conformance with ASTM E1527-13, and in conformance with the Master Services Agreement between SCS and Carmel Partners dated March 2017.
The Property is located on the northeastern side of East Pacific Coast Highway, to the north of the intersection with Studebaker Road. The Property is an approximately 5.5-acre office park comprising three office buildings (6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway) and associated parking lots. A small area at the southeastern corner of the Property extends beyond the office park fence line to an area of historical oil field development.
The three office buildings are two-story structures with wood and stucco siding. Commercial business tenants at the office buildings include real estate, medical counseling, legal, chiropractic/acupuncture (no X-ray equipment onsite), accounting, physical therapy, etc. Since portions of the Property were historically used as a residential/commercial refuse landfill, a landfill gas control system is currently operating at the Property. Some evidence of small stress cracks and one area of differential settling was noted in the parking area at the center of the Property during the site inspection. However, quarterly landfill gas control system monitoring indicates that the system is operating as intended and that site buildings are adequately protected from accumulation of combustible gas.
In addition to the main office park area, as noted above, a portion of the Property extends beyond the fence line to the southeast. This small area is situated approximately five feet lower in elevation than the parking lot of the office park. Electrical equipment, trees, a concrete stormwater drain tunnel, and metal pipeline saddles associated with historical oil infrastructure were observed in this area. This portion of the Property is indistinguishable from the surrounding oil field.
The Property was undeveloped wetland located to the northeast of Alamitos Bay and north of the San Gabriel River until the mid-1920s. By 1928, two oil sumps and oil-related infrastructure were present on the southeastern part of the Property. The rest of the Property was undeveloped land, no longer identifiable as wetland. The oil sumps were no longer visible by 1938, when one oil well was present on the southeastern portion of the Property. In 1947, two possible oil wells were depicted on a historical topographic map, but only one was visible in an historical aerial photo. Portions of the Property were used as a landfill between mid-1960 and early 1961. By 1964, oil wells were no longer visible on the Property in aerial photos. A dark spot (possibly vegetation or dark soil) was visible at the southeastern corner of the Property in a 1976 aerial photo, a short distance to the west of the historical oil sumps and oil wells. The Property was developed with three office buildings in their current configuration between 1978 and the early 1980s. Numerous tenant improvements have been performed at the office buildings since that time. The past presence of the landfill, two oil sumps, one or two oil wells, and oil-related infrastructure at the Property constitute RECs.

SCS Field Services currently provides operations, maintenance, and monitoring (OM&M) services for the landfill gas control system at the Property and has monitored the system for more than 20 years. According to the most recent quarterly monitoring report, the system is operating adequately and prevents the buildup of combustible levels of methane in the buildings on the Property.
There are no indications of contamination issues associated with the current use of the Property.
As discussed above, historical developments at the Property have included both oil/gas infrastructure and a landfill. Past investigations at the Property conducted under Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) oversight indicate that industrial waste may have been disposed at the Property. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and metals have been detected in groundwater and are attributable to the historical oil and gas exploration and potentially the historical landfill operations. Another ongoing concern at the Property relates to landfill gas and migration of methane from adjoining oil field properties. There is a passive landfill gas control system supplemented by an intermittently operated air blower installed at the Property. In the 20+ years since this system was installed, no methane has been detected in any of the on-site buildings despite the detection of combustible gas in some perimeter probes and venting locations. As long as Property use does not change and the gas control system remains operational, SCS does not anticipate any methane-related concerns with the Property.
Although the landfill was closed in accordance with regulations in effect at the time of closure (1961), current landfill closure standards are more stringent. Both the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) and the County Department of Health Services must approve any major development or redevelopment on older landfills. In granting approval for major new developments, the CIWMB may require that the entire former landfill site be brought up to current standards. There is, however, no systematic enforcement of the current landfill closure standards in the absence of major new development.
The Property owner of the adjoining site to the south-southeast, the “Pumpkin Patch” site, has proposed new development that has resulted in updated regulatory oversight of the former landfill. While communication between the LARWQCB regarding the former landfill has thus far been directed only to the Pumpkin Patch site owner, it indicates that new Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for the former landfill are replacing a 1996 landfill closure letter. It is likely that any proposed redevelopment activities at the Property will result in new regulatory post-closure landfill monitoring requirements at the Property similar to those required on the Pumpkin Patch.
Regulatory database information identified known and suspected contamination sites in the area surrounding the Property. It is possible that some of these sites have contributed to groundwater contamination beneath the Property. Although not detailed in regulatory database reports, the oil and gas operations located to the north and east of the Property are also a likely source of groundwater contamination and/or combustible gas (methane). The presence of the adjacent oil field and nearby wetlands areas would complicate assessment of combustible gas that may originate on the Property.

Conclusions
In summary, SCS has performed a Phase I Environmental Assessment in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Standard Practice E 1527 and the requirements of our Master Services Contract with Carmel Partners concerning the property at Market Place Long Beach Office Park located at 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, California.
Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in the Executive Summary Section of this report.
Based on the findings of the June 2016 Phase I ESA, the Property was historically used for oil drilling and production operations, including former oil sumps and oil-related infrastructure, predominantly on the easternmost portion of the Property. In addition, portions of the Property were used as a landfill between mid-1960 and early 1961. These former operations are considered to be recognized environmental conditions. For the reasons set forth herein, the following additional investigation is recommended:
• Soil vapor survey at perimeter probe locations outside of the anticipated landfill footprint in selected accessible areas of the Property.
• Soil sampling from borings in the area of historic oil operations.
Sampling of groundwater from temporary wells at five locations Phase I – 6615, 6621, & 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway At torney - Client Privileged and Attorney Work Product Material 2 • Review of historical Property use information (topographic maps, aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, existing reports, etc.).
• Commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information about the Property (e.g., interviews with appropriate regulatory agency personnel and review of agency files review of available documents, interviews with other knowledgeable persons). • Degree of obviousness of the presence or likely presence of contamination at the Property, and the ability to detect the contamination by appropriate investigation. • Information provided as a result of the additional inquiries conducted by the User.
S PECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Phase I ESA for the Market Place Long Beach Office Park located at 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, California has been prepared for the review by legal counsel of Carmel Partners, LLC. SCS’ performance of the Phase I ESA is specifically intended to develop information which Carmel Partners’ legal counsel will use in advising the company of its legal rights and/or in advancing its interests in litigation.
The report has been prepared in accordance with the care and skill generally exercised by reputable professionals, under similar circumstances, in this or similar localities. No other warranty, express or implied, is made as to the professional opinions presented herein.
No other party, known or unknown to SCS, is intended as a beneficiary of this work product, its content or information embedded therein. Third parties use this report at their own risk. Third party reliance letters may be issued on request to SCS subject to approval of the Carmel Partners and payment to SCS of a fee for such letters.
LIMITATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The investigation focused on releases and threatened releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products that could be considered a REC and/or a liability due to their possible presence in significant concentrations (e.g., above acceptable limits set by the Federal or state government) or due to the potential for contaminant migration through exposure pathways (e.g., groundwater). Materials that may contain substances which are not currently deemed hazardous by the federal or state of California EPA are not considered as part of this study.
Unless specifically included in our scope of services, formal surveys for asbestos-containing materials, lead-based paints, fire safety, vapor intrusion, indoor air quality, mold, and similar matters were not part of this assessment. The Property was not evaluated for compliance with land use, zoning, wetlands, or similar laws. This report is not intended to be an environmental compliance audit.
Hazardous substances naturally occurring in plants, soils, and rocks (e.g., heavy metals, naturally occurring asbestos, or radon) are not typically considered in these investigations. Similarly, construction debris (e.g., discarded concrete, asphalt) is not considered to be of concern unless observations suggest that hazardous substances are likely to be present in significant concentrations.
