EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OUTLINE
The executive summary is provided solely for the purpose of overview. Any party who relies on this report must read the full report. The executive summary omits a number of details, any one of which could be crucial to the proper application of this report.
Subsurface Conditions
• Site Class designation D is recommended for seismic design considerations. • Our review of the Geologic Map of the Sunnymead/South ½ of Redlands Quadrangles (Dibblee, Jr., 2003) indicate s that the subject site is underlain by Quaternary Surficial Deposits (Qa) consisting of alluvial sand, gravel and clay of valley areas, covered with thick soil. • Fill and possible fill soils were encountered in the test borings to depths of approximately zero to 3 feet below grade. Fill and native soils have very similar characteristics, and it was difficult to determine the exact geologic contact. Possible fill consisted of medium stiff to hard, moist, sandy silt, trace fine gravel, and medium dense silty sand, fine to medium grained, trace clay, with some mica.
• Beneath the possible fill, native soils were encountered within our test borings, which were generally loose to dense, silty sand, poorly graded sand with silt, and clayey sand, fine to medium grained, some coarse, some fine gravel, and stiff to hard sandy silt , silty clay, and sandy clay, fine sand, moist, some mica, and various amount of fine gravel and some mica. • Groundwater was encountered at approximately 36 feet below ground surface in the Test Boring B-8 drilled to a maximum depth of 51.5 feet bgs.
• The expansion index (EI) test of the upper soils indicates a very low expansion potential. • Based on our screening of corrosivity of the upper soils, t he results from the minimum resistivity test generally indicate that the tested soils have a moderately corrosive potential when in contact with ferrous materials and chloride. The test results for pH indicated the tested soil was neutral and the near surface soils contain approximately 0.0207 percent of water-soluble sulfates; therefore, no special sulfate resistant cement is considered necessary for concrete.
Site Development
• It is our understanding that Public Storage will be developing this site by constructing one, 3 -story building, with approximately 130,500 GSF with concrete slab -on-grade floor supported by spread footings or a mat foundation, and paved driveways and parking lot areas . The proposed building will have no basement level.
• New Building: Due to the variable and low strength characteristics of the near surface onsite soils and the estimated seismic -induced seismic dry sand settlement , and to develop uniformity of support, it is recommended that the soils within the proposed new building area s and an appropriate lateral distance beyond (5 feet minimum) be over-excavated to a depth of at least 5 feet below the proposed grade or 3 feet below bottom of foundations and floor slab, whichever is deeper. For the planned subgrade, the existing soils should be proofrolled to remove any unstable materials and the surface compacted to an in- place density of at least 90% of its maximum dry density per ASTM D -1557. The existing soils are considered suitable for foundation and floor support with the recommended 3-foot structural fill layer for the foundations only, and the existing Geotechnical Engineering Exploration and Analysis

soils are also considered suitable for pavement support with recommended proofroll and geotechnical inspection/testing. The soils exposed after cutting to the structural fill subgrade should be examined by the geotechnical engineer to document that the soils are suitable for building support. Prior to placement of fill, the exposed surfaces approved for fill placement should be scarified to a depth of at least 6 to 8 inches, moisture conditioned above optimum moisture content and then recompacted to at least 90% of the maximum dry density as determined by Modified Proctor (ASTM D 1557).
Building Foundation
The proposed structure may be supported by a shallow spread footing foundation system or a mat foundation for a maximum, net allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,500 pounds per square foot (psf) underlain by a minimum 3-foot structural compacted fill layer. Structural loads supported by a mat foundation may be designed for a maximum modulus of subgrade reaction (Ks) of 75 pounds per square inch per inch (psfi/in.).
Foundation reinforcement should be determined by the structural engineer.
Building Floor Slab
It is recommended that an on-grade slab be a minimum 4-inch-thick slab-on-grade or turned-down slab, underlain by a minimum 4-inch-thick granular base supported on a properly prepared subgrade consisting of a minimum 1-foot structural fill layer. A minimum 15-mil vapor barrier is recommended to be directly below the floor slab or base course where required to protect moisture sensitive floor coverings.
New Pavement
Asphalt Pavements: 3 inches of asphaltic concrete underlain by 4 or 6 inches of base course in parking stall and drive lane areas, respectively.
Portland Cement Concrete: 6 inches in thickness underlain by 4 inches of base course in high stress areas such as entrance/exit aprons, drive-thru lane and the trash enclosure-loading zone.
Construction Considerations
Due to anticipated on-site soils, loose to medium dense sandy soils, shallow excavations, up to 5 feet in vertical height, may be adequately sloped for bank stability, where sufficient space is available, temporarily unsurcharged embankments could be sloped back at a 2:1 (h:v) slope gradient. Deeper excavations or excavations where adequate back sloping cannot be performed may require some form of external support such as shoring or bracing.
YELLOW – This site has been given a yellow designation due to potential increased costs associated with the minimum over- excavation and placement of a compacted fill below the footings during construction for the recommended spread footings/mat foundation due to the estimated dry seismic settlement.

1.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
This report provides the results of the Geotechnical Engineering Exploration and Analysis that Giles Engineering Associates, Inc. (“Giles”) conducted regarding the proposed development. The Geotechnical Engineering Exploration and Analysis included several separate, but related, service areas referenced hereafter as the Geotechnical Subsurface Exploration Program, Geotechnical Laboratory Services, and Geotechnical Engineering Services. The scope of each service area was narrow and limited, as directed by our client and in consideration of the proposed project. The scope of each service area is briefly explained in this report.
Geotechnical-related recommendations for design and construction of the foundation and ground- bearing floor slab for the proposed buildings are provided in this report. Geotechnical -related recommendations are also provided for the proposed driveways . Site preparation recommendations are also given; however, those recommendations are only preliminary since the means and methods of site preparation will depend on factors that were unknown when this report was prepared. Those factors include the weather before and during construction, the water table at the time of construction, subsurface conditions that are exposed during construction, and finalized details of the proposed development.
2.0 SITES AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Site Description
The subject property is at the southeast quadrangle of Indian Street and Alessandro Boulevard, in the city of Moreno Valley , Riverside County, California. Based on internet research, the subject property has a history of being an undeveloped v acant lot, covered with soils and some vegetation. The site is bounded on the north by an existing storage facility, on the east by residential structures, on the south a gas station, commercial buildings and Alessandro Blvd further south , and on the west by Indian Street. The neighboring development consists of a mixture of residential structures and commercial structures.
Based on Google Earth website, the site gently slopes with an approximately 4-ft elevation difference across the site, sloping toward the south (to approximate El. 1579) from the north area (approximately El. 1583).
2.2 Proposed Project Description
It is our understanding that Public Storage will be developing this site by constructing one, 3-story building, with approximately 130,500 GSF with concrete slab- on-grade floor supported by spread footings or a mat foundation, and paved driveways and parking lot areas . The proposed building will have no basement level. A Conceptual Site Plan was provided to Giles. Structural loads were not available at the time this report was prepared, but we have estimated maximum building loads, based Geotechnical Engineering Exploration and Analysis

on a 10-foot by 10-foot column spacing, to be about 75 to 100 kips for interior columns and 2 to 3 kips per foot for walls. When design loading conditions are final, we should be notified to re- evaluate the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report. The structure is anticipated to be concrete, masonry, and steel.
It is anticipated that the finished floor elevation of the new building will be near or at existing grade.
The finished floor elevation is anticipated to be approximately at El. 1583. Therefore, site grading is anticipated to include minor cut and fills to establish the necessary site grade to accommodate the assumed floor elevation, exclusive of site preparation or over -excavation requirements necessary to create a stable site suited for the proposed development.
3.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
3.1 Subsurface Exploration
Our subsurface exploration consisted of the drilling of 1 5 test borings (B-1 through B-15) to depths of approximately 10 to 51.5 feet below existing ground surface utilizing a truck rig with hollow -stem auger drilling equipment. The approximate test boring locations are shown in the Test Boring Location Plan (Figure 1). The Test Boring Location Plan and Test Boring Logs (Records of Subsurface Exploration) are enclosed in Appendix A. Field and laboratory test procedures are enclosed in Appendix B and C, respectively. The terms and symbols used on the Test Boring Logs are defined on the General Notes in Appendix D.
Standard split -spoon tests (SS), also called Standard Penetration Test (SPT), were performed at selected depth intervals in accordance with the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Standard Procedure D 1586. This method consists of mechanically driving an unlined standard split - barrel sampler 18 inches into the soil with successive 30- inch drops of the 140- pound automatic trip hammer. Blow counts for each 6 -inch driving increment were recorded on the exploration logs. The number of blows required to drive the standard split -spoon sampler for the last 12 of the 18 inches was identified as the uncorrected standard penetration resistance (N). Disturbed soil samples from the unlined standard split -spoon samplers were placed in plastic bags and transported to our laboratory for testing. A representative bulk sample, consisting of composite soil materials from the upper soils, was obtained from all borings.
Our subsurface exploration included also the collection of relatively undisturbed soil samples of subsurface soil materials at selected depth intervals from the test borings for laboratory testing purposes. Relatively undisturbed samples were collected (per ASTM D 3550) using a 3 -inch outside diameter, modified California split -spoon soil sampler (CS) lined with 1 -inch-high brass rings. The sampler was driven with successive 30 -inch drops of a hydraulically operated, 140- pound automatic trip hammer. Blow counts for each 6- inch driving increment were recorded on the field exploration logs. The central portions of the driven core samples were placed in sealed containers and transported to our laboratory for testing.

At the conclusion of drilling activities, each borehole was backfilled. Even with this service, however, it is important to note that some boreholes backfill settlement or expansion can and will occur over time. This settlement/expansion can create a hazard and should be carefully monitored by the client and/or property owner. The settlement/expansion can lead to the formation of a “trip joint” representing a threat of injury to persons or animals utilizing or accessing the subject property. Giles has not included a cost for monitoring borehole settlement/expansion after the initial drilling activities and will not be performing this service.
3.2 Subsurface Conditions
The subsurface conditions as subsequently described have been simplified somewhat for ease of report interpretation. A more detailed description of the subsurface conditions at the test boring locations is provided by the logs of the test borings enclosed in Appendix A of this report.
Site Geology
Our review of the Geologic Map of the Sunnymead/South ½ of Redlands Quadrangles (Dibblee, Jr., 2003) indicates that the subject site is underlain by Quaternary Surficial Deposits (Qa) consisting of alluvial sand, gravel and clay of valley areas, covered with thick soil.
Soil
Fill and possible fill soils were encountered in the test borings to depths of approximately zero to 3 feet below grade. Fill and native soils have very similar characteristics, and it was difficult to determine the exact geologic contact. Possible fill consisted of medium stiff to hard, moist, sandy silt, trace fine gravel, and medium dense silty sand, fine to medium grained, trace clay, with some mica.
Beneath the possible fill, native soils were encountered within our test borings , which were generally loose to dense, silty sand, poorly graded sand with silt, and clayey sand, fine to medium grained, some coarse, some fine gravel, and stiff to hard sandy silt, silty clay, and sandy clay, fine sand, moist, some mica, and various amount of fine gravel.
Groundwater
Groundwater was encountered at approximately 36 feet below ground in the deep boring (B -8) during our field exploration. Based on a review of GeoTracker website, groundwater was found at 35 feet below grade from a well located approximately 400 feet southeast of our subject site. The historic groundwater level has not been mapped in this area.
Fluctuations of the groundwater table, localized zones of perched water, and rise in soil moisture content should be anticipated during and after the rainy season. Irrigation of landscape areas on or adjacent to the site could also cause fluctuations of local or shallow perched groundwater levels.

3.3 Percolation Testing
It is our understanding that an on -site below grade storm water infiltration system is being considered for the subject site. Therefore, two percolation tests were performed to assess the infiltration characteristics of the site soils.
The percolation testing consisted of drilling an 8-inch-diameter hole using a hollow -stem auger, installing a 2- inch-diameter slotted pvc casing with a solid end cap and then surrounding the casing with a granular filter pack. The test holes (B -10 and B-12) were then pre-soaked to a minimum depth of 1 foot above the bottom of the boring. After pre- soaking, test water was added to the casing and refilled after each consecutive percolation test reading. The drop in water level over time is the percolation rate at the test location. The percolation test procedure outlined in the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health was used as a guide in our testing. A summary Table of the test results of the percolation tests is provided below.
The drop in water level over time is the pre -adjusted percolation rate at the test location. The percolation rate was reduced to account for the discharge of water from the sides and bottom of the boring. The Porchet Method, noted below, was used to calculate the design infiltration rate.
Tested Infiltration Rate = ∆H (60r) / ∆t (r + 2Havg)
Where: r is the radius of the test hole (in)
∆H is the change in height over the time interval (in)
∆t is the time interval (min)
Havg is the average head height over the time interval.
The results obtained fr om our percolation testing are summarized below. The infiltration rates noted below have not been reduced to account for a factor of safety.

It should be noted that the infiltration rate of the on- site soils represents a specific area and depth tested and may fluctuate throughout other parts of the site.
4.0 LABORATORY TESTING
Several laboratory tests were performed on selected samples considered representative of those encountered in order to evaluate the engineering properties of the on-site soils. The following is a brief description of our laboratory test results.

In Situ Moisture and Density
Tests were performed on select samples from the test borings to determine the subsoils dry density and natural moisture contents in accordance with Test Method ASTM D 2216. The results of these tests are included in the Test Boring Logs enclosed in Appendix A.
Expansive Potential
To evaluate the expansion potential of the near surface soils encountered during our subsurface exploration, a representative bulk soil sample collected from the upper soils from the test borings was subjected to Expansion Index (EI) testing in accordance with Test Method ASTM D 4829. The result of our expansion index (EI) test indicates that the near surface sample has a very low expansion potential (EI < 5).
Sieve Analysis
Sieve Analyses (Passing No. 200 Sieve) were performed on selected samples to assist in soil classification. These tests were performed in accordance with Test Method ASTM D 1140. The results of the Passing No. 200 Sieve tests are presented in Test Boring Logs in Appendix A.
Soluble Sulfate Analysis and Soil Corrosivity
A representative bulk sample of the near surface soils which may contact shallow buried utilities and structural concrete was used to perform to determine the corrosion potential for buried ferrous metal conduits and the concentrations present of water -soluble sulfate which could result in chemical attack of cement. The following table presents the results of our laboratory testing.
Parameter Bulk Sample
0 to 5 feet
pH 7.1
Chloride 223 ppm
Sulfate 0.0207%
Resistivity 8,100 ohm-cm
The chloride content of near -surface soils was determined for a selected sample in accordance with California Test Method No. 422. The results of this test indicated that tested on-site soils have a moderate exposure to chloride.
The results of limited testing of soil pH and minimum resistivity were determined in accordance with California Test Method No. 643. The test results for pH indicated the tested soil was neutral. The results from the minimum resistivity test generally indicate that the tested soils have a moderately corrosive potential when in contact with ferrous materials. Therefore, special protection for underground cast iron pipe or ductile pipe may be warranted depending on the actual materials in contact with the pipe. We recommend that a corrosion engineer review these results in order to provide specific recommendations for corrosion protection as well as appropriate recommendations for other types of buried metal structures.

A representative sample of the near surface soils which may contact shallow buried utilities and structural concrete was performed to determine the concentrations present of water -soluble sulfate which could result in chemical attack of cement. Our laboratory test data indicated that near surface soils contain approximately 0.0207 percent of water-soluble sulfates. Based on Section 1904.1 of the California Building Code (CBC), concrete that may be exposed to sulfate containing soils shall comply with the provisions of ACI 318, Section 4.3. Therefore, according to Table 4.3.1 of the ACI 318 a negligible exposure to sulfate can be expected for concrete placed in contact with the tested on- site soils. No special sulfate resistant cement is considered necessary for concrete which will be in contact with the tested on-site soils.
5.0 GEOLOGIC AND SEISMIC HAZARDS
5.1 Liquefaction
According to the City of Moreno Valley Safety Elements, Map S-2, Liquefaction Hazards, the site is located within a low to moderate liquefaction susceptibility zone. During our field exploration, drilled to a maximum depth of 51.5 feet bgs, groundwater was encountered at approximately 36 feet below ground surface (bgs). Based GeoTracker, groundwater was found be about 35 feet bgs from a nearby well. Silt and Clay soil type s interbedded with sandy layers were found at those depths based on our recent field exploration. Therefore, based on encountered groundwater level and soil type a liquefaction analysis for this site was performed.
5.2 Active Fault Zones
Based on the City of Moreno Valley, Riverside County Seismic and Geologic Hazards, dated 2019, Map S-1, Fault Zones and the Special Studies Zones for the Sunnymead Quadrangle (CGS, 1974), the site is not located within any active faults zone. The potential for fault rupture through the site is, therefore, considered to be low. The site may however be subject to strong groundshaking during seismic activity.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Conditions imposed by the proposed development have been evaluated on the basis of the assumed floor elevation and engineering characteristics of the subsurface materials encountered during our subsurface investigation and their anticipated behavior both during and after construction.
Conclusions and recommendations presented for the design of building foundations , floor slab, and pavement along with site preparation recommendations and construction considerations are discussed in the following sections of this report.
From a soils engineering point of view, the subject property is considered geotechnically suitable for the proposed new development provided the following recommendations are incorporated in the design and construction of the project.

We recommend that Giles Engineering Associates, Inc. be involved in the review of the grading and foundation plans for the site to ensure our recommendations are interpreted correctly. Based on the results of our review, modifications to our recommendations or the plans may be warranted.
Effect of Proposed Grading and Construction on Adjacent Property
It is our opinion that the proposed construction and grading will be safe against geotechnical hazards from landslides, settlement, or slippage and the proposed work will not adversely affect the geologic stability of the adjacent property provided grading and construction are performed in compliance with the local city code and in accordance with the recommendations presented herein.
6.1 Seismic Design Considerations
Faulting/Seismic Design Parameters
The site is not located within any active fault zone. The potential for fault rupture through the site is, therefore, considered to be low. The site may however be subject to strong groundshaking during seismic activity. The proposed structure should be designed in accordance with the current version of the California Building Code (CBC) and applicable local codes. In accordance with ASCE 7, Chapter 20, a Site Classification D is recommended for this site based upon the mapped geological features of the site also verified by test borings.
According to the maps of known active fault near -source zones to be used with the CBC, the San Jacinto fault and its branches are the closest known active faults and located about 4 .9 and 6.8 miles from our subject site. The San Jacinto fault would probably generate the most severe site ground motions at the site with an anticipated maximum moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.88 (Hanks).
The proposed structure should be designed in accordance with the current version of the California Building Code (CBC) , Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures ASCE 7 , and applicable local codes. The following values are determined by using the SEAOC/OSHPD Seismic Design Map Tool based upon the CBC 2022 and ASCE 7-16.

According to Section 11.4.8 of ASCE 7-16 for structural engineering considerations, a ground motion hazard analysis is required and should be performed in accordance with Section 21.2 for structures on Site Class D with S 1 greater than or equal to 0.2. However, as an exception to performing the ground motion hazard analysis, the value of the Seismic Response Coefficient (Cs) must be determined by Equation (12.8-2) for values of the fundamental period of the building (T) ≤ 1.5Ts, and taken as 1.5 times the value computed in accordance with either Equation (12.8- 3) for TL ≥ 1.5Ts, or Equation (12.8-4) for T > TL.
Liquefaction
A Seismic Hazard Evaluation Report for the area where the subject site is located has not yet been prepared by the CGS (California Geological Survey). However, based on a review of the Moreno Valley Safety Elements, the site is located within a low to moderate liquefaction potential. Based on a review of groundwater information on the State of California GeoTracker website, the depth to groundwater in the vicinity of the site is approximately 35 feet below grade. Accordingly, a detailed liquefaction analysis was considered necessary and performed for this site.
Liquefaction analysis was performed based on the current California Building Code (2022 CBC) and was performed utilizing the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) data from Test Boring B -8. The NCEER method (1998) was applied as presented by Youd, et.al (2001). The peak ground acceleration (PGA) and modal magnitude were obtained from the USGS Seismic Ground Motion Design Parameter Tool and USGS Probabilistic Seismic Hazards Deaggregation Tool, respectively. As per ASCE 7 -16 guidelines, the maximum considered earthquake geometric mean (MCE G) peak ground acceleration
adjusted for the site effects (PGAM) equals to 0.737g and a predominant mean earthquake magnitude of 7.38 was used in our analysis.
The on-site fine-grained soils were evaluated to determine susceptibility to liquefaction during ground shaking in accordance with the criteria outlined within SP117A and the parameters and soil profile mentioned above. Based on our field exploration, laboratory test results, and soil type, the results of Geotechnical Engineering Exploration and Analysis
Proposed Public Storage Facility
SEQ of Indian Street and Alessandro Boulevard
Moreno Valley, California
Project No. 2G-2404001
_________________________________________________________________________ GILES ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC.
our liquefaction evaluation indicate that the ground settlement resulting from the design- level earthquake will be negligible. The results of our liquefaction analysis are provided as Plate A -1 of Appendix A.
Seismic-Induced Settlement
Seismic-induced settlement is often caused by loose to medium dense granular soils densified during ground shaking. To evaluate the site -specific potential for seismic -induced settlement above the groundwater level ( assumed at 35 fee t), we used the same parameters used in the liquefaction analysis based on the 2022 CBC and ASCE 7- 16. Based on the results of our analysis, the seismic - induced settlement is estimated to be on the order of approximately 2.15 inches. However, as a result of over-excavating the upper 5 feet or 3 -ft below bottom of the footings, the dry settlement is reduced to 0.40 inches. Therefore, differential settlement may be assumed to be negligible. The results of our analysis performed at Test Boring B-8 are presented as Plate A-2 of Appendix A.
Liquefaction-Induced Lateral Spreading
Lateral spreading of the ground surface during a seismic activity usually occurs along the weak shear zones within a liquefiable soil layer and has been observed to generally take place toward a free face (i.e. retaining wall, slope or channel) and to lesser extend on ground surfaces with a very gentle slope.
Due to absence of any slope or channel within or near the subject site, the potential for lateral spread occurring within the site is considered to be very low.
6.2 Site Development Recommendations
The recommendations for site development as subsequently described are based upon the conditions encountered at the test boring locations and the results of our laboratory testing.
Site Clearing and Preparation
Clearing and demolition operations should include the removal of all landscape vegetation and any existing structural features , within the area of the proposed new building and site improvements . All soils disturbed by grading operations should be removed and/or compacted to provide a competent subgrade, as determined by the project geotechnical engineer.
Should any unusual soil conditions or subsurface structures be encountered during clearing/demolition operations or during grading, they should be brought to the immedi ate attention of the project geotechnical consultant for corrective recommendations.
Existing Utilities
All existing utilities should be located. Utilities that are not reused should be capped off and removed or properly abandoned in-place in accordance with city codes and ordinances. The excavations made for removed utilities that are in the influence zone of new construction are recommended to be backfilled with structural compacted fill. Underground utilities, which are to be reused or abandoned Geotechnical Engineering Exploration and Analysis

_________________________________________________________________________ GILES ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC.
in-place, are recommended to be evaluated by the structural engineer and utility backfill is recommended to be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer, to determine their potential effect on the new development. If any existing utilities are to be preserved, construction operations must be carefully performed so as not to disturb or damage the existing utility.
Building Area
Due to the variable and low strength characteristics of the near surface onsite soils and the estimated seismic-induced seismic settlement, and to develop uniformity of support, it is recommended that the soils within the proposed new building areas and an appropriate lateral distance beyond (5 feet minimum) be over-excavated to a depth of at least 5 feet below the proposed grade or 3 feet below bottom of foundations and floor slab, whichever is deeper. For the planned subgrade, the existing soils should be proofrolled to remove any unstable materials and the surface compacted to an in- place density of at least 90% of its maximum dry density per ASTM D -1557. The existing soils are considered suitable for foundation and floor support with the recommended 3-foot structural fill layer, and soils are also suitable for pavement support with recommended proofroll and geotechnical inspection/testing. The soils exposed after cutting to the structural fill subgrade should be examined by the geotechnical engineer to document that the soils are suitable for building support. Prior to placement of fill, the exposed surfaces approved for fill placement should be scarified to a depth of at least 6 to 8 inches, moisture conditioned to above the soil’s optimum moisture content, and then recompacted to at least 90% of the maximum dry density as determined by Modified Proctor (ASTM D 1557).
Positive drainage devices such as sloped concrete flatwork, earth swales, and sheet flow gradients in landscape, setback, and easement areas should be designed for the site. The drainage system should drain to a suitable discharge area. The purpose of this drainage system is to reduce water infiltration into the subgrade soils and to direct water away from buildings and site improvements.
All utility trench es backfill should be placed in lifts no greater than 8 inches in thickness, moisture conditioned above optimum moisture content and then compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of the soil’s maximum density near the optimum moisture content. A representative of the project geotechnical engineer should observe and test the backfills to document adequacy of compaction.
Proofroll and Compact Subgrade
Following site clearing, removal or re-compaction of disturbed soils and lowering of site grades where necessary for the 3-foot structural fill layer in the building area, the subgrades within the proposed building, pavement and drive areas should be proofrolled in the presence of the geotechnical engineer with appropriate rubber -tire mounted heavy construction equipment or a loaded truck to detect very loose/soft yielding soil which should be removed to a stable subgrade, or stabilized in place. Any unsuitable materials discovered should be removed and backfilled with structural fill. Following proofrolling and completion of any necessary over -excavation, the subgrades in the building, parking Geotechnical Engineering Exploration and Analysis

lot and drive areas should be scarified to a depth of 6 to 8 inches, moisture conditioned above the soil’s optimum moisture content, and recompacted to at least 90 percent of the Modified Proctor (ASTM D1557) maximum density. The upper 1 foot of the pavement subgrade should have minimum in-place density of at least 95% of the maximum dry density. Low areas and excavations may then be backfilled in lifts with suitable low- expansive structural compacted fill. The selection, placement and compaction of structural fill should be performed in accordance with the project specifications.
The Guide Specifications included in Appendix D (Modified Proctor) of this report are recommended to be used, at a minimum, as an aid in developing the project specifications. The floor slab subgrade may need to be recompacted prior to slab construction due to weather and equipment traffic effects on the previously compacted soil.
Reuse of On-site Soil
On-site material may be reused as structural compacted fill (if needed) within any new construction area provided they do not contain oversized materials and significant quantities of organic matter or other deleterious materials. All subgrade soil compaction as well as the selection, placement and compaction of new fill soils should be performed in accordance with the project specifications under engineering-controlled conditions.
Subgrade Protection
The near surface soils that are expected to comprise the subgrade are sensitive to water and disturbance from construction activities. Unstable soil conditions will develop if the soils are exposed to moisture increases or are disturbed (rutted) by construction traffic. If unstable soil conditions occur, recommendations for stabilization should be provided by the geotechnical engineer at the time of grading/construction based on the conditions encountered. The site should be graded to prevent water from ponding within construction areas and/or flowing into excavations. Accumulated water must be removed immediately along with any unstable soil. Foundation concrete should be placed and excavations backfilled as soon as possible to protect the bearing grade. The degree of subgrade instability and associated remedial construction is dependent, in part, upon precautions taken by the contractor to protect the subgrade during site development.
Silt fences or other appropriate erosion control devices should be installed in accordance with local, state and federal requirements at the perimeter of the development areas to control sediment from erosion. Since silt fences or other erosion control measures are temporary structures, careful and continuous monitoring and periodic maintenance to remove accumulated soil and/or replacement should be anticipated.
Fill Placement
All fill should be placed in 8- inch-thick maximum loose lift, moisture conditioned above the soil’s optimum moisture content and then compacted to at least 90 percent , or 95 percent in the upper 12 inches of pavement subgrade of the Modified Proctor maximum density.

project geotechnical consultant should be present on -site during grading operations to document proper placement and compaction of all fill, as well as to verify compliance with the other geotechnical recommendations presented herein.
Import Structural Fill
Any soils imported to the site (if required) for use as structural fill should consist of very low (EI less than 20) expansive soils. Materials designated for import should be submitted to the project geotechnical engineer no less than three working days for evaluation. In addition to expansion criteria, soils imported to the site should exhibit adequate shear strength characteristics for the recommended allowable soil bearing pressure, soluble sulfate content and corrosivity and pavement support characteristics.
6.3 Construction Considerations
Construction Dewatering
Groundwater was encountered at approximately 36 feet bgs during our subsurface exploration to the maximum depth explored ( 51.5 feet). However, the site may be susceptible to a shallower perched water table due to seasonal precipitation and runoff characteristics of the site. Conventional filtered sump pumps placed in excavations are expected to be suitable for dewatering should any excess water conditions be observed.
Soil Excavation
Some localized slope stability problems may be encountered in steep, unbraced excavations considering the nature of the subsoils. All excavations must be performed in accordance with CAL- OSHA requirements, which is the responsibility of the contractor. Due to anticipated on- site soils, loose to medium dense sandy soils , s hallow excavations , up to 5 feet in vertical height, may be adequately sloped for bank stability , where sufficient space is available, temporarily unsurcharged embankments could be sloped back at a 2 :1 (h:v) slope gradient. D eeper excavations or excavations where adequate back sloping cannot be performed may require some form of external support such as shoring or bracing.
6.4 Foundation Recommendations
Vertical Load Capacity – Shallow Foundation
Upon completion of the recommended building pad preparation, it is our opinion the proposed structures may be supported by a shallow foundation system and/or mat slab. Foundations underlain by a minimum 3-foot structural fill layer may be designed for a maximum, net, allowable soil -bearing pressure of 3,500 pounds per square foot (psf). Structural loads supported by a mat foundation may be designed for a maximum modulus of subgrade reaction (Ks) of 75 pounds per square inch per inch Geotechnical Engineering Exploration and Analysis

SEQ of Indian Street and Alessandro Boulevard
Moreno Valley, California
Project No. 2G-2404001
_________________________________________________________________________ GILES ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC.
(psfi/in.). Minimum foundation widths for walls and columns should be 18 and 24 inches, respectively, for bearing considerations, regardless of actual soil pressure. The maximum bearing value applies to combined dead and sustained live loads. This allowable soil bearing pressure may be increased by one-third for short term wind and/or seismic loads.
Lateral Load Resistance
Lateral load resistance will be developed by a combination of friction acting at the base of foundations and slabs and the passive earth pressure developed by footings below grade. Passive pressure and friction may be used in combination, without reduction, in determining the total resistance to lateral loads. A one- third increase in the passive pressure value may be used for short duration wind or seismic loads.
A coefficient of friction of 0.35 may be used with dead load forces for footings placed on newly placed compacted fill soil. An allowable passive earth pressure of 400 psf per foot of footing depth (pcf) below the lowest adjacent grade may be used for the sides of footings placed against newly placed structural fill. The maximum recommended allowable passive pressure is 3,500 psf.
Foundation Embedment
The California Building Code (CBC) requires a minimum 12- inch foundation embedment depth.
However, it is recommended that exterior foundations extend at least 18 inches below the adjacent exterior grade for bearing capacity and to provide greater protection of the moisture sensitive bearing soils. Interior footings may be supported at nominal depth below the floor. All footings must be protected against weather and water damage during and after construction and must be supported within suitable bearing materials.
Estimated Foundation Movement
Post-construction total and differential settlement of a shallow foundation system designed and constructed in accordance with the recommendations provided in this report are estimated to be less than 1 and ½ inch, respectively. The estimated differential movement is anticipated to result in an angular distortion of about 0.002 inches per inch on the basis of a minimum clear span of 20 feet for a standard foundation; and 0.001 in./in. on the basis of a minimum clear span of 40 feet for a mat foundation and 0.001 in/in.
Reinforcing
The determination of the actual quantity of steel reinforcing and dimensions should be performed by the project structural engineer.
Bearing Material Criteria
Soil suitable to serve as the structural fill sub grade should exhibit at least a loose relative density (average N value of at least 10) for non -cohesive soils, and an unconfined compressive strength of
1.75 tsf for cohesive soils, for the recommended 3 ,500 psf allowable soil bearing pressure. For Geotechnical Engineering Exploration and Analysis

design and construction estimating purposes, suitable structural fill subgrade soils are expected to be encountered at the recommended 3 -foot structural fill depths following the recommended site preparation activities. However, field testing by the Geotechnical Engineer within the structural fill subgrade and the structural fill soils is recommended to document that the foundation support soils possess the minimum strength parameters noted above. Testing may consist of Dynamic Cone Penetration tests (per ASTM Special Publication 399), nuclear gauge, sand cone test, other tests as deemed suitable by the Geotechnical Engineer. If unsuitable bearing soils are encountered, they should be recompacted in-place, if feasible, or excavated to a suitable bearing soil subgrade and to a lateral extent as defined by Item No. 3 of the enclosed Guide Specifications, with the excavation backfilled with structural compacted fill to develop a uniform bearing grade.
6.5 Floor Slab Recommendations
Subgrade
The floor slab subgrade should be prepared in accordance with the appropriate recommendations presented in the Site Development Recommendations section of this report including a minimum 2- foot structural fill layer . Foundation, utility trenches and other below -slab excavations should be backfilled with structural compacted fill in accordance with the project specifications.
Design (Conventional Slab-on-Grade)
The floor of the proposed building is recommended to be designed as a conventional slab-on-grade where the floor slab is independent of the foundations . The at -grade floor slab may be designed based on a maximum modulus of subgrade reaction (k s) of 175 pounds per cubic inch ( pci), supported on a properly prepared subgrade consisting of a minimum 3-foot structural fill layer. If desired, the floor slab may be poured monolithically with foundations where the foundations consist of thickened sections thereby using a turned -down slab construction technique. The slab is recommended to be a minimum of 4 inches in thickness. A qualified structural engineer should perform the actual design of the slab to ensure proper thickness and reinforcing.
The floor slab is recommended to be underlain by a 4- inch-thick layer of granular base, which is not included as a portion of the recommended structural fill layer recommended in Section 6.2 Building Area. A 15-mil synthetic sheet should be placed below the floor slab to serve as a vapor retarder where required to protect moisture sensitive floor coverings (i.e. tile, or carpet, etc.) and control moisture through the floor slab. It is recommended that a structural engineer or architect specify the vapor retarder location with careful consideration of concrete curing and the effects of moisture. The vapor retarder is recommended to be in accordance with ASTM E 1745, which is entitled: Standard Specification for Plastic Water Vapor Retarders Used in Contact with Soil or Granular Fill under Concrete Slabs. If materials underlying the synthetic sheet contain sharp, angular particles, a layer of sand approximately 2 inches thick or a geotextile should be provided to protect it from puncture. An additional 2- inch-thick layer of sand may be needed between the slab and the vapor retarder to promote proper curing. Proper curing techniques are recommended to reduce the potential for shrinkage cracking and slab curling.

Estimated Settlement
Post-construction total and differential movements of the floor slab designed and constructed in accordance with the recommendations provided in this report are estimated to be less than ½ and ⅓ inch, respectively. Movements on the order of those estimated for foundations should be expected when the foundation and floor slab are structurally connected or constructed monolithically. The estimated differential movement is anticipated to occur across the short dimension of the structure.
6.6 New Pavement
The following recommendations for the new pavement are intended for vehicular traffic associated with the restaurant development within the subject property.
New Pavement Subgrades
Following completion of the recommended subgrade preparation procedures, the subgrade in areas of new pavement construction is expected to consist of existing on-site soil that exhibit a very low expansion potential. An R-value of 30 has been assumed in the preparation of the pavement design.
It should, however, be recognized that the City of Moreno Valley may require a specific R-value test to verify the use of the following design. It is recommended that this testing, if required, be conducted following completion of rough grading in the proposed pavement areas so that the R-value test results are indicative of the actual pavement subgrade soils. Alternatively, a minimum code pavement section may be required if a specific R -value test is not performed. To use this R -value, all fill added to the pavement subgrade must have pavement support characteristics at least equivalent to the existing soils and must be placed and compacted in accordance with the project specifications.
Asphalt Pavements
The following table presents recommended thicknesses for a new flexible pavement structure consisting of asphaltic concrete over a granular base, along with the appropriate CALTRANS specifications for proper materials and placement procedures. An alternate pavement section has been provided for use in parking stall areas due to the anticipated lower traffic intensity in these areas.
However, care must be used so that truck traffic is excluded from areas where the thinner pavement section is used, since premature pavement distress may occur. In the event that heavy vehicle traffic cannot be excluded from the specific areas, the pavement section recommended for drive lanes should be used throughout the parking lot.

Project No. 2G-2404001
_________________________________________________________________________ GILES ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC.
Pavement recommendations are based upon CALTRANS design parameters for a twenty-year design period and assume proper drainage and construction monitoring. It is, therefore, recommended that the geotechnical engineer monitors and tests subgrade preparation, and that the subgrade be evaluated immediately before pavement construction.
Portland Concrete Pavements
Portland Cement Concrete pavements are recommended in areas where traffic is concentrated such as the entrance/exit aprons as well as areas subjected to heavy loads such as the trash enclosure loading zone. The preparation of the subgrade soils within concrete pavement areas should be performed as previously described in this report. Portland Cement Concrete pavements in high stress areas are recommended to be at least 6 inches thick containing No. 3 bars at 18- inch on-center both ways placed at mid- height. The pavement should be constructed in accordance with Section 40 of the CALTRANS Standard Specifications. A minimum 4 -inch-thick layer of base course (CALTRANS Class 2) is recommended below the concrete pavement. This base course should be compacted to at least 95% of the material’s maximum dry density.
The maximum joint spacing within all of the Portland Cement Concrete pavements is recommended to be 15 feet or less to control shrinkage cracking. Load transfer reinforcing is recommended at construction joints perpendicular to traffic flow if construction joints are not properly keyed. In this event, ¾ -inch diameter smooth dowel bars, 18 inches in length placed at 12 inches on- center are recommended where joints are perpendicular to the anticipated traffic flow. Expansion joints are recommended only where the pavement abuts fixed objects such as light standard foundations. Tie bars are recommended at the first joint within the perimeter of the concrete pavement area. Tie bars are recommended to be No. 4 bars at 42-inch on-center spacings and at least 48 inches in length.

General Considerations
Pavement recommendations assume proper drainage and construction monitoring and are based on traffic loads as indicated previously. Pavement designs are based on either PCA or CALTRANS design parameters for twenty (20) year design period. However, these designs are also based on a routine pavement maintenance program and significant asphalt concrete pavement rehabilitation after about 8 to 10 years, in order to obtain a reasonable pavement service life. Due to the presence of variable strength characteristics of the near surface on -site soils , some increased pavement maintenance should be expected.
6.7 Recommended Construction Materials Testing Services
The report was prepared assuming that Giles will perform Construction Materials Testing (CMT) services during construction of the proposed development. In general, CMT services are recommended (and expected) to at least include observation and testing of foundation and pavement support soil and other construction materials. It might be necessary for Giles to provide supplemental geotechnical recommendations based on the results of CMT services and specific details of the project not known at this time.
6.8 Basis of Report
This report is based on Giles’ proposal, which is dated April 2, 2024 and is referenced by Giles’ proposal number 2GP -2403019-R. The actual services for the project varied somewhat from those described in the proposal because of the conditions that were encountered while performing the services and in consideration of the proposed project.
This report is strictly based on the project description given earlier in this report. Giles must be notified if any parts of the project description or our assumptions are not accurate so that this report can be amended, if needed. This report is based on the assumption that the facility will be designed and constructed according to the codes that govern construction at the site.
The conclusions and recommendations in this report are based on estimated subsurface conditions as shown on the Records of Subsurface Exploration. Giles must be notified if the subsurface conditions that are encountered during construction of the proposed development differ from those shown on the Records of Subsurface Exploration because this report will likely need to be revised.
General comments and limitations of this report are given in the appendix.

GENERAL FIELD PROCEDURES
Test Boring Elevations
The ground surface elevations reported on the Test Boring Logs are referenced to the assumed benchmark shown on the Boring Location Plan (Figure 1). Unless otherwise noted, the elevations were determined with a conventional hand-level and are accurate to within about 1 foot.
Test Boring Locations
The test borings were located on-site based on the existing site features and/or apparent property lines. Dimensions ill ustrating the approximate boring locations are reported on the Boring Location Plan (Figure 1).
Water Level Measurement
The water levels reported on the Test Boring Logs represent the depth of “free” water encountered during drilling and/or after the drilling tools were removed from the borehole. Water levels measured within a granular (sand and gravel) soil profile are typically indicative of the water table elevat ion. It is usually not possible to accurately identify the water table elevation with cohesive (clayey) soils, since the rate of seepage is slow. The water table elevation within cohesive soils must therefore be determined over a period of time with groundwater observation wells.
It must be recognized that the water table may fluctuate seasonally and during periods of heavy precipitation. Depending on the subsurface conditions, water may also become perched above the water table, especially during wet periods.
Borehole Backfilling Procedures
Each borehole was backfilled upon completion of the field operations. If potential contamination was encountered, and/or if required by state or local regulations, boreholes were backfilled with an “impervi ous” material (such as bentonite slurry).
Borings that penetrated pavements, sidewalks, etc. were “capped” with Portland Cement concrete, asphaltic concrete, or a similar surface material. It must, however, be recognized that the backfill material may settle, and the surface cap may subside, over a period of time. Further backfilling and/or re-surfacing by Giles’ client or the property owner may be required.

FIELD SAMPLING AND TESTING PROCEDURES
Auger Sampling (AU)
Soil samples are removed from the auger fl ights as an auger is withdrawn above the ground surface. Such samples are used to determine general soil types and identify approximate soil stratifications. Auger samples are highly disturbed and are therefore not typically used for geotechnical strength testing.
Split-Barrel Sampling (SS) – (ASTM D-1586)
A split-barrel sampler with a 2-inch outside diameter is driven into the subsoil with a 140- pound hammer free-falling a vertical distance of 30 inches. The summation of hammer- blows required to drive the sampler the final 12-inches of an 18-inch sample interval is defined as the “Standard Penetration Resistance” or N-value is an index of the relative density of granular soils and the comparative consistency of cohesive soils. A soil sample is collected from each SPT interval.
Shelby Tube Sampling (ST) – (ASTM D-1587)
A relatively undisturbed soil sample is collec ted by hydraulically advancing a thin-walled Shelby Tube sampler into a soil mass. Shelby Tubes have a sharp cutting edge and are commonly 2 to 5 inches in diameter.
Bulk Sample (BS)
A relatively large volume of soils is colle cted with a shovel or other manually-operated tool. The sample is typically transported to Giles’ materials laboratory in a sealed bag or bucket.
Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DC) – (ASTM STP 399)
This test is conducted by driving a 1.5-inch-diameter cone into the subsoil using a 15- pound steel ring (hammer), free-falling a vertical distance of 20 inches. The number of hammer-blows required to drive the cone 1¾ inches is an indication of the soil strength and density, and is defined as “N”. The Dynamic Cone Penetration test is commonly conducted in hand auger borings, test pits and within excavated trenches.

Ring-Lined Barrel Sampling – (ASTM D 3550)
In this procedure, a ring-lined barrel sampler is used to collect soil samples for classification and laboratory testing. This method provides samples that fit directly into laboratory test instruments without additional handling/disturbance.
Sampling and Testing Procedures
The field testing and sampling operations were conducted in general accordance with the procedures recommended by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and/or other relevant specifications. Results of the field testing (i.e. N-values) are reported on the Test Boring Logs. Explanations of the terms and symbols shown on the logs are provided on the appendix enclosure entitled “General Notes”.
APPENDIX C
LABORATORY TESTING AND CLASSIFICATION
The laboratory testing was conducted under the supervision of a geotechnical engineer in accordance with the procedures recommended by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and/or other relevant specifications. Brief descriptions of laborat ory tests commonly performed by Giles are provided herein.
GILES ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC.
LABORATORY TESTING AND CLASSIFICATION
Photoionization Detector (PID)
In this procedure, soil samples are “scanned” in Giles’ analytical laboratory using a Photoionization Detector (PID). The instrument is equipped with an 11.7 eV lamp calibrated to a Benzene Standard and is capable of detecting a minute concentration of certain Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) vapors, such as those commonly associated with petroleum products and some solvents. Results of the PID analysis are expressed in HNu (manufacturer’s) units rather than actual concentration.
Moisture Content (w) (ASTM D 2216)
Moisture content is defined as the ratio of the weight of water contained within a soil sample to the weight of the dry solids within the sample. Moisture content is expressed as a percentage.
Unconfined Compressive Strength (qu) (ASTM D 2166)
An axial load is applied at a uniform rate to a cylindrical soil sample. The unconfined compressive strength is the maximum stress obtained or the stress when 15% axial strain is reached, whichever occurs first.
Calibrated Penetrometer Resistance (qp)
The small, cylindrical tip of a hand-held penetrometer is pressed into a soil sample to a prescribed depth to measure the soils capacity to resist penetration. This test is used to evaluate unconfined compressive strength.
Vane-Shear Strength (qs)
The blades of a vane are inserted into the flat surface of a soil sample and the vane is rotated until failure occurs. The maximum shear resistance measured immediately prior to failure is taken as the vane-shear strength.
Loss-on-Ignition (ASTM D 2974; Method C)
The Loss-on-Ignition (L.O.I.) test is used to determine the organic content of a soil sample. The procedure is conducted by heating a dry soil sample to 440°C in order to burn-off or “ash” organic matter present within the sample. The L.O.I. value is the ratio of the weight loss due to ignition compared to the initial weight of the dry sample. L.O.I. is expressed as a percentage.
GILES ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC.
Particle Size Distribution (ASTB D 421, D 422, and D 1140)
This test is performed to determine the distribution of specific particle sizes (diameters) within a soil sample. The distribution of coarse-grained soil particles (sand and gravel) is determined from a “sieve analysis,” which is conducted by passing the sample through a series of nested sieves. The distribution of fine-grained soil particles (silt and clay) is determined from a “hydrometer analysis” which is based on the sedimentation of particles suspended in water.
Consolidation Test (ASTM D 2435)
In this procedure, a series of cumulative vertical loads are applied to a small, laterally confined soil sample. During each load increment, vertical compression (consolidation) of the sample is measured over a period of time. Results of this test are used to estimate settlement and time rate of settlement.
Classification of Samples
Each soil sample was visually-manually cl assified, based on texture and plasticity, in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D-2488-75). The classifications are reported on the Test Boring Logs.
Laboratory Testing
The laboratory testing operations were conducted in general accordance with the procedures recommended by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and/or other relevant specifications. Results of the laboratory tests are provided on the Test Boring Logs or other appendix enclosures. Explanation of the terms and symbols used on the logs is provided on the appendix enclosure entitled “General Notes.”
GILES ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC.
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Test ASTM D-1833
The CBR test is used for evaluation of a soil subgrade for pavement design. The test consists of measuring the force required for a 3-square-inch cylindrical piston to penetrate 0.1 or 0.2 inch into a compacted soil sample. The result is expressed as a percent of force required to penetrate a standard compacted crushed stone.
Unless a CBR test has been specifically requested by the client, the CBR is estimated from published charts, based on soil classification and strength characteristics. A typical correlation chart is below.
