SUMMARY OF LABORATORY TEST RESULTS
In-situ Moisture and Density Tests
The in-situ moisture content and dry density of selected samples obtained from the test borings were evaluated in general accordance with the latest versions of ASTM D2216 and D2937 laboratory test methods. The methods involve obtaining the moist weight of the sample and then drying the sample to obtain its dry weight. The moisture content is calculated by taking the difference between the wet and dry weights, dividing it by the dry weight of the sample and expressing the result as a percentage.
The results of the in-situ moisture content and dry density tests are presented in the following table and on the field exploration logs in Appendix B.

Direct Shear Tests
Direct shear testing was performed on representative relatively undisturbed samples in general accordance with ASTM D3080 to evaluate the shear strength characteristics of on-site materials. The test method consists of placing the soil sample in the direct shear device, applying a series of normal stresses, and then shearing the sample at the constant rate of shearing deformation. The shearing force and horizontal displacements are measured and recorded as the soil specimen is sheared. The shearing is continued well beyond the point of maximum stress until the stress reaches a constant or residual value. The results of the tests at one of the boring locations are presented in the following table and attached in this appendix.

Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
This screening investigation of potential recharge sites near Twentynine Palms, California was contracted to NV5, Inc. by the City of Twentynine Palms (City) as part of a larger, wastewaterdesign, feasibility study in 2021 (Figure 1.1). The City lies in the Morongo Basin and similar to other developed parts of the Mojave Desert, groundwater levels are declining. The City is intent upon recycling treated wastewater, if practicable (TPWD 2016). NV5 was tasked under the feasibility study to recommend a site for the location of a surface-spreading infiltration basin to use for recharge of the regional groundwater system treated effluent.
Selection of a successful groundwater recharge basin requires the evaluation of multiple physical factors and criteria. Ideally, the selection would be entirely based upon the ability of the upper geological layers of the target area to accept infiltrated surface water and to allow gravitational and other site conditions to effect transmission of the water through percolation to the target aquifer. Despite this, there are additional variables that need to be considered, including the location of the basin, relative to the treatment facility, the availability and value of land, groundwater rights issues, water quality concerns, and cost.
NV5 examined each of these issues and developed a screening strategy using weighted factors appropriate to the importance of that concern. This analysis resulted in a candidate site that will be advanced to further and more detailed analysis.
1.2. Local Conditions
In 2014, the City and Twentynine Palms Water District (TPWD) commissioned a study of the wastewater option best suited to projected growth and revenue availability. At that time, dispersed sewer systems, primarily septic tanks, were the most common method for urban sewage disposal. The need for a centralized system was felt by City leadership, using a facility either owned by the City or shared with Marine Corp Air Ground Combat Station-Twentynine Palms (MCAGCC), located approximately 6.4 miles north of City Hall.
The recommendation of the report and plan was to focus on a 9.3-million-gallon per day (MGD) wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) central to the metropolitan area that could use City streets for collection alignments. The 2014 report did not recommend a joint-use facility with MCAGCC. Integration of these objectives with a water resource management plan, yet to be written, was also recommended (City and TPWD 2014).

Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California Subsequently, TPWD developed the anticipated water resource management plan (TPWD 2016). Under California Water Code (CWC) sections 10610 through 10657, and the Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMP Act) of 1983, such a plan is required of an urban water supplier. From a water supply reliability analysis, the TPWD determined that it has adequate supplies to meet demands during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years throughout the 20- year planning period. Despite this, other State regulations require that a groundwater management plan be written and the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) passed in 2014 and amended in 2015, requires management of high-priority, local groundwater sources in California. The groundwater basins supplying TPWD are all considered low priority. under SGMA.
Despite this, the water resource management plan includes many suggestions and practices to extend groundwater resources as long as possible (TPWD 2016). These include conservation and stormwater recharge. Because there is no central WWTP available, effluent recharge (called “recycled water” in the report) was not considered.
Recharge of groundwater with treated effluent is uncommon but not unknown in the desert regions of San Bernardino County. Although most of the recharge facilities in the region use imported water from the Mojave Water Agency, Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority (VVWRA) recharges treated effluent along the Mojave River bed (Stamos, et al 2001).
The City of Barstow recharges wastewater and Mojave Water Agency imports and recharges 2,800 acre-ft of treated wastewater from the Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear areas (MWA 2020). 2 Preliminary Screening of Sites
At this level of study, a screening study must make a number of assumptions in order to make progress. The first assumption was in the location and management of the WWTP. Although previous investigations concluded that an MCAGCC joint-use facility was not feasible, the need for additional base capacity remains and the City requested that this location needs to be considered.
Sites in and around the Project Area of the current wastewater feasibility study, including MCAGCC were chosen for preliminary screening. The list of criteria were taken from Milczarek and co-authors (2014) and included:

Each of these criteria was applied to the list of available sites and three were chosen for ranking. Based upon infrastructure cost decisions of the City, the Area of Interest for the screening study was confined to a 1-mile “bubble” surrounding the City limits (Figure 2.1).
2.1. Surface conditions
Surface conditions criteria include the physical and geological description of soil and active alluvial sediment data.
2.1.1. Surface soils
Soil survey data was extracted from the regional descriptive data cataloged by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. NRCS soil data is found in the National Soil Survey, a compilation of field data mapped by NRCS soil scientists in each of the fifty states on a county-wide and Indian reservation basis. Currently, the data is stored digitally and available as downloadable, GIS data, or the SSURGO/STATSGO2 data series.
The soil survey data of interest used was the Mojave Desert Area, West Central Part (Figure
2.2).
Each of the area soil series was assigned a generalized set of physical parameters over the survey area by NRCS staff scientists. GIS covers of soil series spatial extent were used to map saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and clay content (%) over the area of interest. Ksat is a page 6

Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California parameter widely used to indicate the rate of infiltration of surface spread water. Clay percentage in the soil represents the presence of fine particles that might inhibit porous-media flow of water in the subsurface. These two estimated factors were used as criteria to select the candidate sites.
2.1.2. Surface geology
Surface geological maps were used to qualitatively extrapolate infiltration properties over a wider area and be used to interpret morphological features, such as ancestral streambeds that might offer abundant coarse-grained substrate. Alternatively, playas or other lakebed features would be expected to be underlain by finer-grained materials (Figure 2.3).
GIS geological maps were acquired from the USGS California Water Science Center. The USGS has done considerable work on the hydrogeology and geology of the area in support of the MCAGCC. Geological data was also extracted from the California Department of Conservation, California Geological Survey regional geologic map of the San Bernardino 30’ x 60’ sheet (1:250,000 scale). In addition, the geological sections of several hydrogeological reports were used, particularly, TPWD (2016).
The surface geology of the Twentynine Palms region is dominated by fault-bounded uplift of the surrounding mountains relative to the central basin. Riley and Worts (1952) defined the Mesquite Basin as a structural depression receiving sediment from the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the south, the San Bernardino Mountains to the west, and the Bullion Mountains to the east. The basin was part of a series of structural depressions that aligned in a northwesterly direction.
Bedrock geological units are exposed in all three of these bounding ranges and in smaller fault blocks aligned with larger mountains. The units were primarily composed of Jurassic granitics and Precambrian crystalline rocks. Riley and Worts (1952) assumed a Precambrian age for the older granitics, including gabbro-diorite, gneiss, granite, and monzonitic porphyry; however, age dating by Lanphere (1964) and mapping by Dibblee (1968) suggested that only the gneiss was Precambrian and distinguished an older Mesozoic granitic phase. Lying unconformably upon the crystalline rocks is a series of late Tertiary continental sedimentary rocks, chiefly sandstones and conglomerates, dipping to the east.
The youngest units are exposed extensively across the study area and are the principal target of this study. These Quaternary deposits include alluvial fan sands, silts, clays, and cobbles, extending from the mountain fronts to the basin axis and culminating in playa lake deposits. page 8

Figure 2.2 - - Local soils data retrieved from NRCS SSURGO/STATSGO2 data series. page 9
Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California Dibblee (1968) separates several Quaternary deposits representing unique depositional facies.
An older alluvial unit fans outward across the city from Fortynine Palms Canyon, the main drainage feature, in a northeasterly direction. Lying on top of these deposits in the northeastern edge of the urban area is a younger alluvial unit, distinguished by a higher proportion of fine-grained sand and silt. Further to the northeast, this unit grades into windblown sand. The significance of these Quaternary units and their location will be developed in Section 3.
Structural elements clearly are controlling groundwater recharge and storage in the Area of Interest (Riley and Worts 1952, Li and Martin 2011, TPWD 2016)(Figure 2.3). At the northern boundary of the Mesquite Basin, a structural high (arch) in bedrock is used by Riley and Worts (1952) to limit the extent of groundwater flow. On the east, these authors conclude that the north-northeast trending Mesquite Lake Fault forms a groundwater flow boundary. On the south, the Pinto Mountain Fault has the largest effect of groundwater dynamics.
The Mesquite Lake Fault as a regionally extensive fault, exhibiting right-lateral, slip-strike motion (SCEDC 2013). Paleoseismic data suggest up to four prehistoric earthquakes since the latest Pleistocene, with three large, Holocene surface-rupturing events (Madden, et al 2006).
The Pinto Mountain Fault, exhibiting left-lateral, strike-slip motion, and an offshoot of it (Oasis Fault) have juxtaposed the Precambrian to Mesozoic crystalline rocks relative to the late Tertiary basin-filling sediments of the north (Riley and Worts 1952). Movement on the Oasis Fault is inferred from geomorphic evidence to have occurred five times since 13,600 years before present, the latest at 1700 years before present. The contrast in water-bearing properties between these units defines the southern boundary of the basin.
California Department of Water Resources (CalDWR) has designated two groundwater basins that cover the Area of Interest (CalDWR 2021), separated by the east-west running Oasis Fault, the Twentynine Palms Valley Groundwater Basin (DWR# 7-10), which extends north of the fault and the Joshua Tree Groundwater Basin (DWR#7-62), which lies to the south. Within the Twentynine Palms Valley Groundwater Basin, two subbasins are distinguished, the Main Subbasin which extends north from the Pinto Mountain Fault and which is separated from the Mesquite Lake Subbasin on the west by the Mesquite Fault (Riley and Worts 1952, Li and Martin 2011, TPWD 2016) (Figure 2.4).
Within the Joshua Tree Basin, three subbasins are defined between the Oasis Fault and the surface exposure of the crystalline rock (TPWD 2016). The Indian Cove Subbasin extends from the western edge of the Area of Interest eastward to a subsurface narrowing of the Tertiary page 10

Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California sediments (TPWD 2016). The Fortynine Palms Subsection extends from this boundary westward to a boundary with the Eastern Subbasin, where the constriction between bedrock and the Oasis Fault widens. The Eastern Subbasin extend easterly to the end of the Area of Interest.
2.2. Subsurface Conditions
There are several primary data sets that have been used in the screening study. These are depth to groundwater, depth to basement, and groundwater quality.
2.2.1. Depth to groundwater
Depth to groundwater is used to estimate the thickness of the unsaturated zone. Presumably, introduced effluent will infiltrate and saturate this zone and therefore a greater thickness of unsaturated media indicates greater storage capacity. Shallow groundwater levels could indicate that recharged water will locally “daylight,” causing stability problems.
The USGS has monitored and interpreted water levels near MCAGCC for many years (Riley and Worts 1952, Schaefer 1978, Akers, 1986, Stamos et al 2004, 2007, 2009, Li and Martin 2011, Dick and Kjos 2016). In addition, the City has collected groundwater data for specific studies that was added to the analysis (TPWD 2016).
Groundwater elevations for this study were acquired from Dick and Kjos (2016). Depth to groundwater contours were mapped by subtracting topographic elevation from these data (Figure 2.5). These calculations suggest that the maximum depth to groundwater, <300 feet below ground surface (ft bgs), probably lies east of the Mesquite Fault, in the Main Subbasin. A second maximum occurs at the west side of the Area of Interest in the Mesquite Lake Subbasin.
The most shallow groundwater is found at the eastern edge of the city center, west of Utah Trail. For example, a set of TPWD wells near the Fluoride Treatment Facility produces a depth to water of 50 to 62 ft bgs.
These data suggest that there is a groundwater elevation maximum at the southern boundary of both basins (Figure 2.5) (TPWD 2016). A groundwater elevation greater than 2400 feet above sea level (ft asl) is measured at TPWD supply wells in the Indian Cove Subbasin. A second high is found at the eastern boundary of the Mesquite Subbasin (TPWD 2016). Groundwater elevations in wells in that part of the Area of Interest exceed 1850 ft asl. The lowest elevations are just west of MCAGCC at about 1760 ft asl.

Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California In 1993, TPWD drilled a 1,250-foot-deep monitoring well (TP-1) in the vicinity (Amboy Road and Utah Trail) of the proposed WWTP (Attachment 2). The well was screened from 350 to 440 and from 460 to 620 feet below surface (fbs). Static water was measured at 50 fbs. See section 2.2.4 for a discussion of the probable source of the groundwater sampled by this well.
2.2.2. Depth to crystalline basement
Depth to the Mesozoic and Precambrian crystalline rock is used to establish the relative thickness of potentially water-bearing formations in the subsurface among candidate sites.
Although some water is certainly available in the fractured granitic rocks, the difference in yield is great enough to preclude them as the location of an effective aquifer. Geological cross sections developed by Riley and Worts (1952) and Dibblee (1968) indicate a range in depth to bedrock from 0 ft bgs along the southern boundary of the Area, to over 2000 ft bgs adjacent to the Mesquite Lake Fault. Subsequent gravity surveys by Roberts and co-workers (2002) allowed Li and Martin (2011) to infer depth to basement that exceeded 16,000 feet in the northeastern part of the Area of Interest (Figure 2.6); however, basement rock depth across most of the Area ranges from 0 to 4000 ft bgs .
2.2.3. Water quality
Water quality is dependent upon the depth, screen position, and location of monitoring wells.
In general, it is not a critical determinant in siting a recharge area, unless a specific area or plume of contamination exists in the subsurface.
It is generally recognized in the Area of Interest that the only groundwater components of concern are nitrates from septic tank discharge and naturally occurring high fluoride and arsenic concentrations. Presumably, nitrate contamination would be reduced across the city subsurface as residents switched from septic tank use to the proposed City sewer system.
Isolated areas of remnant nitrate contamination would remain, as would residential areas not connected to the City system. Currently, the average nitrate concentration in the Mesquite Lake Subbbasin is 3.5 mg/L and in the three subbasins south of the Oasis Fault, 6.5-11.3 mg/L, well below the maximum contamination level (MCL) of 45 mg/L (TPWD 2016).
Fluoride exceedances are common in shallow Western aquifers. Fluoride concentrations in the Indian Cove, Fortynine Palms and Eastern Subbasins generally average 1.3 to 2.7 mg/L, while the Mesquite Lake Subbasin averages more than twice that at 5.9 mg/L, above the MCL of 4.0 mg/L (TPWD 2016). The difference probably reflects the presumed recharge source of the two page 14

Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California basins, with the Mesquite Lake Subbasin water leaching fluoride salts from buried evaporite deposits (Robertson 1991).
Arsenic concentrations show the opposite relationship between the subbasins. The Indian Cove, Fortynine Palms and Eastern Subbasins average 1.8 to 5.7 µg/L of arsenic and the Mesquite Lake Subbasin averages 2.4 µg/L. The MCL for arsenic is 10 µg/L.
All of the water introduced by the recharge system would be treated to drinking water standards, as set by the California State Water Resources Control Board, Indirect Potable Reuse program. In that sense, the recharged water would be of better quality than the existing groundwater. In any case, there would be little difference in the location of the recharge basin for water quality concerns.
2.2.4. Hydrogeology
These distributions of elevations suggest that groundwater flow is principally from west to east in both basins in the west and from southeast to northwest on the eastside, mimicking the topographic gradient and structural discontinuities. This was also the conclusion of TPWD (2016). These groundwater dynamics would also suggest two principal recharge areas for the greater basin: the western bounding ranges of the San Bernardino Mountains and the northern margin of the Little San Bernardino Mountains. In fact, several springs emerge from the northern trending canyons of the Little San Bernardino Mountains. Springs are reported from Fortynine Palms Canyon, in addition to the historically flowing Oasis of Mara in the Eastern Subbasin (Cadena 2014).
The recognized water-bearing formations in the subsurface have emerged from deep borings that have been constructed across the area and the recognition of these formations by the USGS and other hydrogeological investigations (Li and Martin 2011). Li and Martin define three water-bearing formations in the Project are subsurface. The Upper system is hosted by the younger Quaternary, fan-deposited sands and gravel (Qtf2, Li and Martin 2011). It ranges from 250 to zero feet in saturated thickness, thinning from west to east. Underlying the Upper system are an older set of Quaternary (Qtf1, Li and Martin 2011) fan-deposited units that contain intercalated clay layers. These beds make up the Middle unit of the regional aquifer.
Saturated thicknesses of the Middle unit range from 100 feet in the north basin to 500 feet in the southeast direction. The Lower unit is found within the poorly-sorted sands, gravel, silt, and clay of the Tertiary unit (Ts, Li and Martin 2011).

Figure 2.6 - - Local depth to bedrock. Reproduction of figure from Li and Martin (2011) page 17
Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California The permeability of the Middle unit is much lower than Upper unit. Despite this, most watersupply wells in the region are screened in coarser-grained, water-bearing beds of the Middle unit. In some parts of the Project area, recharge to the Middle unit may be acting as an aquatard, restricting downward movement of surface infiltration.
As discussed in Section 2.2.1, monitoring well TP-1 (Attachment 2) was logged as ‘sand’ or ‘sand and clay’ in the driller’s record from 0 to 65 fbs. At 65 fbs, the log records ‘clay,’ which extends down to 100 fbs. Given the stratigraphic data reported by Li and Martin (2011), the upper 65 feet of the boring probably encountered Qtf2 and the Upper unit of the local aquifer. The clay encountered between 65 and 100 fbs is probably the aquitard that marks the top of Qtf1 and the Middle unit. The Middle unit in the southeast corner of the Mesquite Subbasin is reported to be approximately 500 feet thick (Li and Martin 2011). Thus, it is likely that the screened interval is primarily sampling groundwater extracted from the Middle aquifer, although the integrity of the upper confining clay is unknown.
2.3. Location
Location takes in all of the factors that would make the recharge basins economically and operationally feasible under City financial and administrative constraints.
2.3.1. Distance to proposed WWTP
The location of the proposed WWTP is just south east of the corner of Amboy Road and Utah Trail.
2.3.2. Distance to the existing MCAGCC WWTP
Although a joint-use WWTP has been discussed, the location has not been selected (1/2022).
The existing plant is used as a proxy. The current WWTP serving MCAGCC is located on Del Valle Street on base and directly across the road from Marine Corps Exchange -29 Palms.
2.3.3. Land use
Land use was important in that changes in zoning might cause delays or generate public opposition. A land use GIS cover was retrieved from the San Bernardino County Planning Department web site.
2.3.4. Land ownership
page 18
Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California Land ownership could also cause delays and potential opposition (Figure 2.7). Private land would necessitate establishment of a purchase or lease agreement. Public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) would require a lease agreement and additional potential permitting requirements, including National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation and compliance. State or county land would also require use authorization from the responsible agencies. The simplest land ownership situation would be the use of City land.
Regardless, any of these options would most likely trigger California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements.
2.3.5. Size
The size of the available land is also critical, as surface-spreading basins require a relatively large, moderately undisturbed, flat topography. For example, the Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency estimated that a spreading basin of five acres was required to recharge 1500 acre-feet over six months at an infiltration rate of 1.64 feet/day (BDVWA ). Ideally, three basins are used for normal operation in order to allow for scarification and cleaning of 25% of the infiltration surface while 75% remains in operation. Thus, the size of the facility needs to be much greater than the actual basin surface area.
Hi-Desert Water District has been recharging imported Mojave Water Agency water at its Warren Valley Basin Groundwater Recharge facility in Yucca Valley since 2015 (HDWD ). The District recently constructed a new wastewater treatment plant and began discharging water into its three percolation ponds in February of 2020. The facility occupies approximately 30 acres in Yucca Valley, including the three ponds and other supporting infrastructure.
Green Valley Municipal WWTP is operated by Pima County in southern Arizona. The Green Valley WWTP averages 2335 acre-feet per annum of treated effluent to be infiltrated in 7.1 acres of pond. The size of the entire complex is approximately 50 acres (Pima County RWRD 2021).
2.3.6. Existing infrastructure
Once again, the required effluent infrastructure has not yet been determined by the City and it is unknown where these alignments will be located. In all likelihood, buried collection pipelines will follow major road rights-of-way and effluent return lines would most likely be proposed for the same corridors. Therefore, distance to existing major City streets would be one proxy for this criterion.

page 20
Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California Another important infrastructure component would be groundwater wells that could serve as monitoring wells or locations for new points of compliance. Under California State Law the permitting of a Department of Public Health Groundwater Replenishment Reuse Project (GRRP), monitoring of the aquifer receiving treated effluent is required.
2.3.7. Areas of preservation or open space
Although the recharge basins would not require much in the way of built structures, they would be a disruption of the natural topography and vegetation. Location in an area of well-known cultural resource distribution could also cause issues in permitting and approval of the facility. 3 Candidate Sites
Using these broad data sets on currently available land areas, three sites were chosen for sitespecific fieldwork (Figure 3.1). These sites included a section of land owned by TPWD directly north of the well TP-1, south of the Fluoride Removal Facility, and adjacent to Utah Trail (Fluoride). The City-owned parcel that comprises Section 19 of Township 1N, Range 9E and that is bordered on the west by Morongo Road and on the south by Two Mile Road (Morongo) was another site. The third site is located south of Twentynine Palms Highway (SR62), east of Encelia Drive on San Bernardino County Flood Control property (Flood).
3.1. Field Work
The percolation rate of introduced water through the surface soils is of paramount importance in locating a recharge facility. Although the NRCS Soil Survey database includes saturated hydraulic conductivity values for each represented soil series, a better estimate is required from the actual surfaces used, on site. Three candidate sites were surveyed as part of the field investigation. . Attachment 1 is a detailed description of the field activities. A summary of field activities is provided in this section. .
Field work at the three sites occurred during the period of August 17-19, 2021. The methodology of Bouwer et al (1999), as modified by Rice et al (2014), was used during this effort. The Bouwer method employs a single-ring infiltrometer to generate a series of estimates of the saturated hydraulic conductivity of surface soils. The principal source of error in the method, which was corrected by Bouwer and co-workers (1999) is the lateral expansion of the wetting front as it progresses downward. The measurement of the lateral expansion is accomplished by digging exterior to the ring and measuring the radial extent of saturation with a soil moisture probe. For soils similar to the candidate sites, this methodology has been demonstrated to improve the estimates by a factor of 3.4 to 7.0 (Rice, et al 2014). page 21

Figure 3.1 - - Location of three sites examined during infiltration measurement field work.
page 22
Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California Measurements were made at four locations at each of the three sites. Locations were chosen based upon the general topography and field texture inspection of the sites to be representative of the general area. The measurements were straightforward. At each location the 50-cm-diameter, steel ring was driven a few inches into the ground. Water was introduced carefully so as not to disturb the ground surface. The water level was maintained at a few centimeters below the rim of the steel rim in order that a constant head was maintained at the soil surface. The drop in water was recorded as infiltration progressed until 21 to 62 centimeters of entry was recorded or four hours of measurement occurred. Approximately six hours per site was necessary for the test.
Upon conclusion of the test, excavations were made in three direction from the ring and lateral divergence of the wetting front was recorded. Finally, the cylinder was drained, the center of the wetted soil was hand augered to the depth of the wetting front, and a sample was recovered for textural analysis.
3.1.1. Fluoride Site
The site was accessed from Utah Trail on a dirt road (Figure 3.2). The topography was flat with mildly eroded drainage to the west. At the surface, loamy sand makes up the most common material supporting a mixture of creosote bush, yucca, annual grasses and forbs. The NRCS soil survey assigned this site to the Duneland-Cajon 1135 map unit and estimated the mean K(sat) to be 4.23E-05 to 1.41E-04 cm/s with 10% clay. The four Fluoride site K(sat) values ranged from
7.8E-04 cm/s to 1.4E-03 cm/s, with a median of 8.7E-04 cm/s and a geometric mean of 9.51E04 cm/s.
3.1.2. Morongo Site
The Morongo Site was located within the City-owned Section 19 parcel, adjacent to the dirt extension of Morongo Road and approximately 0.8 miles north of 2 Mile Road (Figure 3.3). The land slopes off approximately 3% to the north-northeast. The surface soil is a loamy sand; however, the location is bisected by a 2-meter-deep gully that appears to have formed from adjacent stormwater runoff. The gully exposes an approximately 0.5-meter layer of whitishgrey, firmly cemented, calcareous caliche. Sparse surface vegetation includes creosote bush. bursage, joshua tree, annual grasses and forbs. The NRCS describes the area as WascoHelendale-Map 1032 map unit, estimating the mean K(sat) to be 1.41E-05 to 4.23E-05 cm/s with page 23
Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California a clay content of 0.8%. This investigation produced K(sat)ranging from 3.5E-04 cm/s to 1.2E-03 cm/s with a median of 4.9E-04 cm/s and a geometric mean of 5.63-04 cm/s and.
3.1.3. Flood Site
The Flood Site was within the San Bernardino County Flood Control District property (Figure
3.4). The area is topographically much more rugged than the previous sites and includes a number of off-channel gullies and terraces. The site is located within a mountain-front alluvial fan associated with Fortynine Palm Canyon, a major through-going drainage. The texture is also coarser and poorly graded, ranging from cobbles to fine sand; however, the four locations tested were more uniform, ranging from medium sand to loamy sand. Vegetation includes the same community as the Morongo Site with the addition of abundant smoke tree shrubs. The NRCS mapped the locations as part of the Ramona-Hanford-Greenfield 1009 map series. For this series, a K(sat) of 1.41E-05 to 4.23E-05 cm/s was estimated by the NRCS at a clay content of
0.2%. The results of the current study for the Flood Site ranged in K(sat)from 1.1E-03 cm/s to
9.5E-03 cm/s, with a median of 1.5E-03 cm/s and a geometric mean of 2.24E-03 cm/s.
3.1.4. Summary of Field Testing
While all three sites were within a reasonable range of K(sat) and clay content, the Flood Site was more than two times more permeable than the Fluoride Site and infiltration was almost 4 times faster than the Morongo Site. Permeability at the Morongo Site was probably inhibited by the thick layer of caliche exposed in the stormwater gully. Coarser material composing the alluvial fan at the Flood Site appears to contribute to the faster infiltration rate at that locality.
3.2. Application of Criteria
The data used in making the selection are summarized in Table 3.1. Each site was ranked from one to three, with three being the highest score relative to the others in fulfilling that criterion (Table 3.2). In some cases, the criterion weighed heavier in importance to the needs of a surface-spreading, groundwater recharge facility. In these cases, the criteria was multiplied by a weighing factor. Hydrogeology, land ownership, and the presence of existing water conveyance, ground transportation, and power infrastructure were weighted heavier than most other criteria. The results of the field infiltration testing were considered to be of even greater importance.

Preliminary Screening Study of Groundwater Recharge Sites, Twentynine Palms, California These component scores were summed for the cumulative score (Table 3.2). Using this system, all three sites were very close. The Fluoride Site was highest, scoring very high on existing infrastructure and proximity to the proposed WWTP site. The Flood site was very close, receiving high marks for the hydrogeology, surface conditions, and field infiltration data.
Measured infiltration values were reasonably good. The Morongo Site scored highest in land ownership and use but was limited by its low infiltration rate and the presence of caliche layers in the subsurface.
4 Conclusion and Recommendation
Based upon the results of the screening study, the Fluoride Site seems to be the best location for a recharge facility. The presence of favorable subsurface geological material, its location in the Mesquite Lake Subbasin, and the co-location of several TPWD wells would all be helpful; however, the proximity to the proposed City-only or joint-use WWTP is probably the main discriminator. If and when a joint-use facility location is selected, this conclusion may need to be revised to accommodate a site closer to the alternate WWTP.
Presumably, the required land used for the existing Fluoride Treatment Plant could be leased from the TPWD and the basins sited off of Amboy Road. Despite this, the potential existence of an approximately 35-foot clay layer at 50 feet might be an issue. There are many ways to accommodate subsurface fine-grained units subjacent to a recharge spreading basin. A combination basin that includes several deep dry wells is one possibility. Regardless, it will be important to initiate a complete subsurface investigation before the Fluoride site is advanced to the design phase.
There may also be an issue with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) regarding the Fluoride facility evaporation ponds. If an elevation of the local groundwater levels interferes with the pond leakage points of compliance, the RWQCB might object to the facility. The hydrogeology of this issue should be analyzed further and discussed with the RWQCB before finalizing the choice of this site.
NV5 has proposed a single boring to 100 feet bgs as part of the Twentynine Palms WWTP project. This boring will allow laboratory testing of retrieved samples for texture, moisture content and laboratory K(sat) . These data can support estimates of basin size and capacity can be calculated, as can the impact of the recharge facility on local groundwater levels. It may be necessary to expand this investigation before a decision is reached. page 28

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
To: Mark Murphy Date: August 26, 2021
From: Kirk F. Creswick, RG Project: 227521-0000132.00

Subject: Infiltration Testing – 29 Palms
This Technical Memorandum discusses the estimation of soil hydraulic conductivity (K) from cylinder infiltrometer testing.
Theory
The rate of infiltration of water into soil is directly proportional to the hydraulic conductivity (K) of the soil and the hydraulic gradient. Cylinder infiltrometer testing estimates the hydraulic conductivity by measuring the infiltration rate and estimating the hydraulic gradient. The hydraulic conductivity is then calculated based on these measurements/estimates.
Measuring the infiltration rate from the cylinder (in) is fairly straightforward: the change of water level in the cylinder infiltrometer (yn) is measured over time (tn) and the infiltration rate is yn/Δtn, for any nth measurement.
The hydraulic gradient is a little less straightforward since it involves both direct measurement and estimation. The following equation shows the pertinent parameters:
𝑖𝑖𝑤𝑤 = 𝐾𝐾 𝑧𝑧+𝐿𝐿−ℎ𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤
𝐿𝐿 (Equation 1)
where:
iw – the infiltration rate of water in the soil (L/T)
K – the hydraulic conductivity (L/T)
z – the head of water in the cylinder (L)
L – the depth to the wetted front from ground surface (L) hwe – the water entry pressure of the soil (L)
The values in the numerator of Equation 1 (z+L+ hwe) make up the head over the length (L) in the denominator that represent the hydraulic gradient. The value z is measured directly in the cylinder during the test. The value L is measured directly after the test. The value hwe is, however, estimated based on soil type. The water entry pressure is the head required to force water into the pore space.
For most soil, the value of hwe is negative since capillary suction pulls water into the soil. Generally, the finer the soil, the greater the capillary suction and the more negative the water entry value.
Values for hwe reported in Bouwer et al., 1999 are:
• Coarse Sand, -5 cm
• Medium Sand, -10 cm
• Fine Sand, -15 cm
• Loamy Sands, -20 cm
• Sandy Loams, -25 cm
• Loams, -35 cm
• Structured Clay Soils, -30 cm
• Nonstructured Clay Soils, -100 +
As the wetting depth (L) increases, the water entry value (hwe) becomes less significant as an overall percentage of the head, such that a 5 cm misestimate of hwe would result in about 4.2 to 6.5% error in overall head (and gradient) in this particular study.
The capillary suction responsible for hwe values also causes lateral wetting (divergence, x), which much be accounted for since it impacts the downward infiltration rate of water in the soil (iw). The relationship between cylinder infiltration rate (in), the infiltration rate in the soil (iw), and divergence (x) is shown in Equation 2:
𝑖𝑖𝑤𝑤 = 𝑖𝑖𝑛𝑛𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟2
𝜋𝜋(𝑟𝑟+𝑥𝑥)2 Equation 2
where r is the radius of the cylinder.
This shows that the volumetric flow through the area of the cylinder (with a radius, r) will flow through a greater area of soil (with a radius, r+x), thereby reducing the downward infiltration rate in the soil (iw) relative to the infiltration rate in the cylinder (in) by the ratio of the areas.
Similarly, the increase in cross-sectional area caused by divergence (x) affects the depth of the wetted front (L) as shown in Equation 3:
𝐿𝐿 = 𝑦𝑦𝑡𝑡𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟2
𝑛𝑛 (𝑟𝑟+𝑥𝑥)2 Equation 3
where:
yt – total length (depth) of water from through the cylinder n – soil fillable porosity
Note that fillable porosity is porosity not already occupied by water or by entrapped air.
Field Work
Field methods for measuring/estimating parameters for use in the above equations are described in this section.
Three areas were predetermined for this study (see Figure 1):
• Adjacent to the Fluoride Removal Plant, south of Amboy Rd. and west of Utah Trail (see Figure 2)
• North of the Morongo neighborhood, east of Morongo Rd and north of Samarkand Dr. (see Figure 3)
• On Flood Control property south of Hwy 62 and east of Encela Ave. (see Figure 4)
Locations were selected for testing within each study area that were relatively free of vegetation, rocks or local disturbance (trail compaction, animal/insect burrows, etc.).
The following procedure was used for conducting the test:
Four different cylinder infiltrometers were used in this study, with diameters of 50.8, 50.9,
50.9 and 52.5 cm. All where 30.5 cm tall.
The cylinders were secured 4-8 cm into the soil using a sledgehammer. The soil around the interior of the cylinder was tamped against the cylinder wall with the handle of the sledgehammer and the soil on the exterior was tamped with the head of the sledgehammer and/or foot pressure.
A wooden ruler was clipped vertically to the inside of the cylinder with one end at the soil level to allow for water level measurements.
A foam pad was placed in the cylinder during filling to limit soil disturbance. Two buckets of water (10-12 gallons) were poured into the cylinder and the foam was removed.
A reading of the water level was taken from the ruler and recorded with the time on the field data sheet.
As the water level dropped, additional water level and time readings were collected and recorded. Where wind caused fluctuation of water levels, the average reading was approximated.
Additional water was added to maintain head in the cylinder with readings collected immediately before and after the filling.
40 cm of cumulative water drop was the goal for a test. The actual range was 21 to 62 cm. Immediately after the test, three trenches were hand-dug at approximately 120° spacing to approximately 6 to 9 inches depth to locate the divergence (x) of the wetted zone beyond the cylinder. This was generally visually observable, but a moisture meter was also used to reduce the potential for error due to smearing the interface during excavation. Dry soil read 0% moisture and wetted soil generally read 10% or more (up to about 22% next to the cylinder).
After draining any remaining water from the cylinder, a hand auger was used to determine the depth (L) of the wetted front. In practice, this was the depth that either dry material was found in the bottom of the hand auger, or the depth that non-cohesive material would not be retained in the hand auger due to lack of moisture.
The second auger bucket of material (from approximately 6-12 inches below ground surface), was retained for visual soil description. Additionally, a portion of the retained soil was placed in a jar with water above the sample surface and shaken/swirled to determine relative percentage of silt and clay. Silt settles within several seconds while clay settles overnight.
The thickness of silt and clay layers in the jars were compared to the total sediment thickness to determine silt and clay percentages.
Spreadsheet Analysis
Values of yn, tn, x (average), and L were entered into a spreadsheet that uses the three equations above to calculate the hydraulic conductivity, K.
• The value for iw is calculated from the final in value (yn/Δtn), the radius of the cylinder (r) and the average divergence (x) using Equation 2.
• Although L is measured directly, an iterative approach using Equation 3 and adjusting fillable porosity (n) is used until the measure value of L is approximated. • Equation 1 is then solved for K. The water entry value in Equation 1 is approximated from soil type and manually entered. The value of head in the cylinder (z) is taken from the starting head value for the last yn pair. Note that z should actually be the average value during that
interval, but this error is small, particularly if frequent measurements were made during the latter part of the test.
Note that the ruler used for measurement of the head in the cylinder was installed with the larger values at the bottom. This would result in improper values of z in the calculations if used as is.
Therefore, these values were corrected by subtracting the field values from 30, effectively flipping the ruler to the proper orientation.
Results
Table 1 shows some of the measured and modeled values from the testing for discussion. These values are reported to two significant digits.

Flood 4 Medium to fine sand -13 19 88 0.15 1.4E-03
With respect to hydraulic conductivity:
• Fluoride Area hydraulic conductivity values ranged from 7.8E-04 cm/s to 1.4E-03 cm/s, with an average of 9.8E-04 cm/s and a median of 8.7E-04 cm/s. • Morongo Area hydraulic conductivity values ranged from 3.5E-04 cm/s to 1.2E-03 cm/s, with an average of 6.3E-04 cm/s and a median of 4.9E-04 cm/s. • Flood Area hydraulic conductivity values ranged from 1.1E-03 cm/s to 9.5E-03 cm/s, with an average of 3.4E-03 cm/s and a median of 1.5E-03 cm/s.
These values are in general agreement with their soil types.
Some observations on the data in Table 1 include:
• The value of divergence exceeds the water entry value in all tests except Morongo 4. • Divergences exceeds the water entry value significantly in Morongo 1, Morongo 2, Morongo 3, Flood 1, and Flood 2.
• Divergence does not show a high degree of correlation with hydraulic conductivity, but hwe correlates fairly well.
• Fillable porosity values range from 11% to 15%, but average site values are not much different.
These observations suggest that lateral divergence is being affected by factors other than water entry pressure. For homogeneous material, these values would be expected to be more predictable. In most of the tests, the content of fines appeared to increase from soil observed at the surface. If the infiltration rate of the shallow soils is in excess of the infiltration rate of the soil below, this would cause lateral spreading that may be observable during investigation of divergence in the shallow soil.
Additionally, the fillable porosity is somewhat lower than a suggested value of 0.3 for dry, uniform soil. Having both visual and quantitative confirmation of very dry soils, this suggests a high degree of air entrapment during testing is responsible for the reduced fillable porosity.
Reducing the porosity will result in more lateral and vertical spreading of the moisture front until the air is effectively purged from the pore space. It may be that this occurs to a large extent during the test, but that the extent of the divergence is expressed by the early effects of the lower porosity. This higher apparent divergence will reduce the calculated value of iw and K.
Bouwer et al., 1999 acknowledges that saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is generally two times the K value for sandy soils and four times the K value for finer soils determined by cylinder testing.
Conclusions
Flood Area soils appear most favorable, with average conductivities 3.5 times the Fluoride locations and 5.5 times the Morongo locations, and median hydraulic conductivities 1.8 times the Fluoride Locations and 3.1 times the Morongo Locations; however, all three locations have good permeabilities.
The lack of significant clay and silt at the Flood site would help to limit surface clogging. It is also likely that the Flood location would have less fines at depth since fines tend to wash down further into the basin. The Morongo and Fluoride locations are further into the basin, and therefore likely have more fines, although the Morongo area appears to have a higher surface gradient than the Fluoride site, resulting in coarser surface texture.
Saturated hydraulic conductivity values would likely be two to four times higher.
Recommendations
Cylinder infiltrometer testing of these sites has evaluated the short-term, unsaturated hydraulic conductivities of the upper 38 to 101 cm of soil at the sites. Additional geotechnical investigation should be conducted to investigate the possibilities of less permeable layers at depth that could cause mounding.

TYPICAL EARTHWORK GUIDELINES
1. GENERAL
These guidelines and the standard details attached hereto are presented as general procedures for earthwork construction for sites having slopes less than 10 feet high. They are to be utilized in conjunction with the project grading plans. These guidelines are considered a part of the geotechnical report, but are superseded by recommendations in the geotechnical report in the case of conflict.
Evaluations performed by the consultant during the course of grading may result in new recommendations which could supersede these specifications and/or the recommendations of the geotechnical report. It is the responsibility of the contractor to read and understand these guidelines as well as the geotechnical report and project grading plans.
1.1. The contractor shall not vary from these guidelines without prior recommendations by the geotechnical consultant and the approval of the client or the client's authorized representative. Recommendations by the geotechnical consultant and/or client shall not be considered to preclude requirements for approval by the jurisdictional agency prior to the execution of any changes.
1.2. The contractor shall perform the grading operations in accordance with these specifications, and shall be responsible for the quality of the finished product notwithstanding the fact that grading work will be observed and tested by the geotechnical consultant.
1.3. It is the responsibility of the grading contractor to notify the geotechnical consultant and the jurisdictional agencies, as needed, prior to the start of work at the site and at any time that grading resumes after interruption. Each step of the grading operations shall be observed and documented by the geotechnical consultant and, where needed, reviewed by the appropriate jurisdictional agency prior to proceeding with subsequent work.
1.4. If, during the grading operations, geotechnical conditions are encountered which were not anticipated or described in the geotechnical report, the geotechnical consultant shall be notified immediately and additional recommendations, if applicable, may be provided.
1.5. An as-graded report shall be prepared by the geotechnical consultant and signed by a registered engineer and registered engineering geologist. The report documents the geotechnical consultants' observations, and field and laboratory test results, and provides conclusions regarding whether or not earthwork construction was performed in accordance with the geotechnical recommendations and the grading plans.
Recommendations for foundation design, pavement design, subgrade treatment, etc., may also be included in the as-graded report.
1.6. For the purpose of evaluating quantities of materials excavated during grading and/or locating the limits of excavations, a licensed land surveyor or civil engineer shall be retained.

2. SITE PREPARATION
Site preparation shall be performed in accordance with the recommendations presented in the following sections.
2.1. The client, prior to any site preparation or grading, shall arrange and attend a pre-grading meeting between the grading contractor, the design engineer, the geotechnical consultant, and representatives of appropriate governing authorities, as well as any other involved parties. The parties shall be given two working days notice.
2.2. Clearing and grubbing shall consist of the substantial removal of vegetation, brush, grass, wood, stumps, trees, tree roots greater than 1/2-inch in diameter, and other deleterious materials from the areas to be graded. Clearing and grubbing shall extend to the outside of the proposed excavation and fill areas.
2.3. Demolition in the areas to be graded shall include removal of building structures, foundations, reservoirs, utilities (including underground pipelines, septic tanks, leach fields, seepage pits, cisterns, etc.), and other manmade surface and subsurface improvements, and the backfilling of mining shafts, tunnels and surface depressions.
Demolition of utilities shall include capping or rerouting of pipelines at the project perimeter, and abandonment of wells in accordance with the requirements of the governing authorities and the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant at the time of demolition.
2.4. The debris generated during clearing, grubbing and/or demolition operations shall be removed from areas to be graded and disposed of off site at a legal dump site. Clearing, grubbing, and demolition operations shall be performed under the observation of the geotechnical consultant.
2.5. The ground surface beneath proposed fill areas shall be stripped of loose or unsuitable soil. These soils may be used as compacted fill provided they are generally free of organic or other deleterious materials and evaluated for use by the geotechnical consultant. The resulting surface shall be evaluated by the geotechnical consultant prior to proceeding.
The cleared, natural ground surface shall be scarified to a depth of approximately 8 inches, moisture conditioned, and compacted in accordance with the specifications presented in Section 4 of these guidelines.
3. REMOVALS AND EXCAVATIONS
Removals and excavations shall be performed as recommended in the following sections.
3.1. Removals
3.1.1. Materials which are considered unsuitable shall be excavated under the observation of the geotechnical consultant in accordance with the recommendations contained herein. Unsuitable materials include, but may not be limited to, dry, loose, soft, wet, organic, compressible natural soils, fractured, weathered, soft bedrock, and undocumented or otherwise deleterious fill materials.
227522-0000190.00 NV5.COM |
3.1.2. Materials deemed by the geotechnical consultant to be unsatisfactory due to moisture conditions shall be excavated in accordance with the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant, watered or dried as needed, and mixed to generally uniform moisture content in accordance with the specifications presented in Section 4 of this document.
3.2. Excavations
3.2.1. Temporary excavations no deeper than 4 feet in firm fill or natural materials may be made with vertical side slopes. To satisfy California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (CAL OSHA) requirements, any excavation deeper than 4 feet shall be shored or laid back at a 1:1 inclination or flatter, depending on material type, if construction workers are to enter the excavation.
4. COMPACTED FILL
Fill shall be constructed as specified below or by other methods recommended by the geotechnical consultant. Unless otherwise specified, fill soils shall be compacted to 90 percent relative compaction, as evaluated in accordance with ASTM Test Method D1557.
4.1. Prior to placement of compacted fill, the contractor shall request an evaluation of the exposed ground surface by the geotechnical consultant. Unless otherwise recommended, the exposed ground surface shall then be scarified to a depth of approximately 8 inches and watered or dried, as needed, to achieve a generally uniform moisture content at or near the optimum moisture content. The scarified materials shall then be compacted to 90 percent relative compaction. The evaluation of compaction by the geotechnical consultant shall not be considered to preclude any requirements for observation or approval by governing agencies. It is the contractor's responsibility to notify the geotechnical consultant and the appropriate governing agency when project areas are ready for observation, and to provide reasonable time for that review.
4.2. Excavated on-site materials which are in general compliance with the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant may be utilized as compacted fill provided they are generally free of organic or other deleterious materials and do not contain rock fragments greater than 6 inches in dimension. During grading, the contractor may encounter soil types other than those analyzed during the preliminary geotechnical study. The geotechnical consultant shall be consulted to evaluate the suitability of any such soils for use as compacted fill.
4.3. Where imported materials are to be used on site, the geotechnical consultant shall be notified three working days in advance of importation in order that it may sample and test the materials from the proposed borrow sites. No imported materials shall be delivered for use on site without prior sampling, testing, and evaluation by the geotechnical consultant.
227522-0000190.00 NV5.COM |
4.4. Soils imported for on-site use shall preferably have very low to low expansion potential (based on CBC Standard 1803.5.3). Lots on which expansive soils may be exposed at grade shall be undercut 3 feet or more and capped with very low to low expansion potential fill. In the event expansive soils are present near the ground surface, special design and construction considerations shall be utilized in general accordance with the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant.
4.5. Fill materials shall be moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture content prior to placement. The optimum moisture content will vary with material type and other factors.
Moisture conditioning of fill soils shall be generally uniform in the soil mass.
4.6. Prior to placement of additional compacted fill material following a delay in the grading operations, the exposed surface of previously compacted fill shall be prepared to receive fill. Preparation may include scarification, moisture conditioning, and recompaction.
4.7. Compacted fill shall be placed in horizontal lifts of approximately 8 inches in loose thickness. Prior to compaction, each lift shall be watered or dried as needed to achieve near optimum moisture condition, mixed, and then compacted by mechanical methods, using sheepsfoot rollers, multiple-wheel pneumatic-tired rollers, or other appropriate compacting rollers, to the specified relative compaction. Successive lifts shall be treated in a like manner until the desired finished grades are achieved.
4.8. Fill shall be tested in the field by the geotechnical consultant for evaluation of general compliance with the recommended relative compaction and moisture conditions. Field density testing shall conform to ASTM D1556 (Sand Cone method), D2937 (Drive-Cylinder method), and/or D2922 and D3017 (Nuclear Gauge method). Generally, one test shall be provided for approximately every 2 vertical feet of fill placed, or for approximately every 1000 cubic yards of fill placed. In addition, on slope faces one or more tests shall be taken for approximately every 10,000 square feet of slope face and/or approximately every 10 vertical feet of slope height. Actual test intervals may vary as field conditions dictate. Fill found to be out of conformance with the grading recommendations shall be removed, moisture conditioned, and compacted or otherwise handled to accomplish general compliance with the grading recommendations.
4.9. The contractor shall assist the geotechnical consultant by excavating suitable test pits for removal evaluation and/or for testing of compacted fill.
4.10. At the request of the geotechnical consultant, the contractor shall "shut down" or restrict grading equipment from operating in the area being tested to provide adequate testing time and safety for the field technician.
4.11. The geotechnical consultant shall maintain a map with the approximate locations of field density tests. Unless the client provides for surveying of the test locations, the locations shown by the geotechnical consultant will be estimated. The geotechnical consultant shall not be held responsible for the accuracy of the horizontal or vertical locations or elevations.
227522-0000190.00 NV5.COM |
4.12. Grading operations shall be performed under the observation of the geotechnical consultant. Testing and evaluation by the geotechnical consultant does not preclude the need for approval by or other requirements of the jurisdictional agencies.
4.13. Fill materials shall not be placed, spread or compacted during unfavorable weather conditions. When work is interrupted by heavy rains, the filling operation shall not be resumed until tests indicate that moisture content and density of the fill meet the project specifications. Regrading of the near-surface soil may be needed to achieve the specified moisture content and density.
4.14. Upon completion of grading and termination of observation by the geotechnical consultant, no further filling or excavating, including that planned for footings, foundations, retaining walls or other features, shall be performed without the involvement of the geotechnical consultant.
4.15. Fill placed in areas not previously viewed and evaluated by the geotechnical consultant may have to be removed and recompacted at the contractor's expense. The depth and extent of removal of the unobserved and undocumented fill will be decided based upon review of the field conditions by the geotechnical consultant.
4.16. Off-site fill shall be treated in the same manner as recommended in these specifications for on-site fills. Off-site fill subdrains temporarily terminated (up gradient) shall be surveyed for future locating and connection.
5. OVERSIZED MATERIAL
Oversized material shall be placed in accordance with the following recommendations.
5.1. During the course of grading operations, rocks or similar irreducible materials greater than 6 inches in dimension (oversized material) may be generated. These materials shall not be placed within the compacted fill unless placed in general accordance with the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant.
5.2. Where oversized rock (greater than 6 inches in dimension) or similar irreducible material is generated during grading, it is recommended, where practical, to waste such material off site, or on site in areas designated as "nonstructural rock disposal areas." Rock designated for disposal areas shall be placed with sufficient sandy soil to generally fill voids. The disposal area shall be capped with a 5-foot thickness of fill which is generally free of oversized material.
5.3. Rocks 6 inches in dimension and smaller may be utilized within the compacted fill, provided they are placed in such a manner that nesting of rock is not permitted. Fill shall be placed and compacted over and around the rock. The amount of rock greater than ¾-inch in dimension shall generally not exceed 40 percent of the total dry weight of the fill mass, unless the fill is specially designed and constructed as a "rock fill."
227522-0000190.00 NV5.COM |
5.4. Rocks or similar irreducible materials greater than 6 inches but less than 4 feet in dimension generated during grading may be placed in windrows and capped with finer materials in accordance with the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant and the approval of the governing agencies. Selected native or imported granular soil (Sand Equivalent of 30 or higher) shall be placed and flooded over and around the windrowed rock such that voids are filled. Windrows of oversized materials shall be staggered so that successive windrows of oversized materials are not in the same vertical plane. Rocks greater than 4 feet in dimension shall be broken down to 4 feet or smaller before placement, or they shall be disposed of off site.
6. SLOPES
The following sections provide recommendations for cut and fill slopes.
6.1. Cut Slopes
6.1.1. The geotechnical consultant shall observe cut slopes during excavation. The geotechnical consultant shall be notified by the contractor prior to beginning slope excavations.
6.1.2. If, during the course of grading, adverse or potentially adverse geotechnical conditions are encountered in the slope which were not anticipated in the preliminary evaluation report, the geotechnical consultant shall evaluate the conditions and provide appropriate recommendations.
6.2. Fill Slopes
6.2.1. When placing fill on slopes steeper than 5:1 (horizontal:vertical), topsoil, slope wash, colluvium, and other materials deemed unsuitable shall be removed. Nearhorizontal keys and near-vertical benches shall be excavated into sound bedrock or fine fill material, in accordance with the recommendation of the geotechnical consultant. Keying and benching shall be accomplished. Compacted fill shall not be placed in an area subsequent to keying and benching until the area has been observed by the geotechnical consultant. Where the natural gradient of a slope is less than 5:1, benching is generally not recommended. However, fill shall not be placed on compressible or otherwise unsuitable materials left on the slope face.
6.2.2. Within a single fill area where grading procedures dictate two or more separate fills, temporary slopes (false slopes) may be created. When placing fill adjacent to a temporary slope, benching shall be conducted in the manner described in Section 6.2.1. A 3-foot or higher near-vertical bench shall be excavated into the documented fill prior to placement of additional fill.
6.2.3. Unless otherwise recommended by the geotechnical consultant and accepted by the Building Official, permanent fill slopes shall not be steeper than 2:1 (horizontal:vertical). The height of a fill slope shall be evaluated by the geotechnical consultant.
227522-0000190.00 NV5.COM |
6.2.4. Unless specifically recommended otherwise, compacted fill slopes shall be overbuilt and cut back to grade, exposing firm compacted fill. The actual amount of overbuilding may vary as field conditions dictate. If the desired results are not achieved, the existing slopes shall be overexcavated and reconstructed in accordance with the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant. The degree of overbuilding may be increased until the desired compacted slope face condition is achieved. Care shall be taken by the contractor to provide mechanical compaction as close to the outer edge of the overbuilt slope surface as practical.
6.2.5. If access restrictions, property line location, or other constraints limit overbuilding and cutting back of the slope face, an alternative method for compaction of the slope face may be attempted by conventional construction procedures including backrolling at intervals of 4 feet or less in vertical slope height, or as dictated by the capability of the available equipment, whichever is less. Fill slopes shall be backrolled utilizing a conventional sheepsfoot-type roller. Care shall be taken to maintain the specified moisture conditions and/or reestablish the same, as needed, prior to backrolling.
6.2.6. The placement, moisture conditioning and compaction of fill slope materials shall be done in accordance with the recommendations presented in Section 5 of these guidelines.
6.2.7. The contractor shall be ultimately responsible for placing and compacting the soil out to the slope face to obtain a relative compaction of 90 percent as evaluated by ASTM D1557 and a moisture content in accordance with Section 4. The geotechnical consultant shall perform field moisture and density tests at intervals of one test for approximately every 10,000 square feet of slope.
6.2.8. Backdrains shall be provided in fill as recommended by the geotechnical consultant.
6.3. Top-of-Slope Drainage
6.3.1. For pad areas above slopes, positive drainage shall be established away from the top of slope. This may be accomplished utilizing a berm and pad gradient of 2 percent or steeper at the top-of-slope areas. Site runoff shall not be permitted to flow over the tops of slopes.
6.3.2. Gunite-lined brow ditches shall be placed at the top of cut slopes to redirect surface runoff away from the slope face where drainage devices are not otherwise provided.
227522-0000190.00 NV5.COM |
6.4. Slope Maintenance
6.4.1. In order to enhance surficial slope stability, slope planting shall be accomplished at the completion of grading. Slope plants shall consist of deep-rooting, variable root depth, drought-tolerant vegetation. Native vegetation is generally desirable.
Plants native to semiarid and mid areas may also be appropriate. Large-leafed ice plant should not be used on slopes. A landscape architect shall be consulted regarding the actual types of plants and planting configuration to be used.
6.4.2. Irrigation pipes shall be anchored to slope faces and not placed in trenches excavated into slope faces. Slope irrigation shall be maintained at a level just sufficient to support plant growth. Property owners shall be made aware that over watering of slopes is detrimental to slope stability. Slopes shall be monitored regularly and broken sprinkler heads and/or pipes shall be repaired immediately.
6.4.3. Periodic observation of landscaped slope areas shall be planned and appropriate measures taken to enhance growth of landscape plants.
6.4.4. Graded swales at the top of slopes and terrace drains shall be installed and the property owners notified that the drains shall be periodically checked so that they may be kept clear. Damage to drainage improvements shall be repaired immediately. To reduce siltation, terrace drains shall be constructed at a gradient of 3 percent or steeper, in accordance with the recommendations of the project civil engineer.
6.4.5. If slope failures occur, the geotechnical consultant shall be contacted immediately for field review of site conditions and development of recommendations for evaluation and repair.
7. TRENCH BACKFILL
The following sections provide recommendations for backfilling of trenches.
7.1. Trench backfill shall consist of granular soils (bedding) extending from the trench bottom to 1 foot or more above the pipe. On-site or imported fill which has been evaluated by the geotechnical consultant may be used above the granular backfill. The cover soils directly in contact with the pipe shall be classified as having a very low expansion potential, in accordance with CBC section 1803.5.3, and shall contain no rocks or chunks of hard soil larger than 3/4-inch in diameter.
7.2. Trench backfill shall, unless otherwise recommended, be compacted by mechanical means to 90 percent relative compaction as evaluated by ASTM D1557. Backfill soils shall be placed in loose lifts 8-inches thick or thinner, moisture conditioned, and compacted in accordance with the recommendations of Section 4 of these guidelines. The backfill shall be tested by the geotechnical consultant at vertical intervals of approximately 2 feet of backfill placed and at spacings along the trench of approximately 100 feet in the same lift.
227522-0000190.00 NV5.COM |
7.3. Jetting of trench backfill materials is generally not a recommended method of densification, unless the on-site soils are sufficiently free-draining and provisions have been made for adequate dissipation of the water utilized in the jetting process.
7.4. If it is decided that jetting may be utilized, granular material with a sand equivalent greater than 30 shall be used for backfilling in the areas to be jetted. Jetting shall generally be considered for trenches 2 feet or narrower in width and 4 feet or shallower in depth.
Following jetting operations, trench backfill shall be mechanically compacted to the specified compaction to finish grade.
7.5. Trench backfill which underlies the zone of influence of foundations shall be mechanically compacted to 90 percent or greater relative compaction, as evaluated by ASTM D1557-
02. The zone of influence of the foundations is generally defined as the roughly triangular area within the limits of a 1:1 (horizontal:vertical) projection from the inner and outer edges of the foundation, projected down and out from both edges.
7.6. Trench backfill within slab areas shall be compacted by mechanical means to a relative compaction of 90 percent, as evaluated by ASTM D1557. For minor interior trenches, density testing may be omitted or spot testing may be performed, as deemed appropriate by the geotechnical consultant.
7.7. When compacting soil in close proximity to utilities, care shall be taken by the grading contractor so that mechanical methods used to compact the soils do not damage the utilities. If the utility contractors indicate that it is undesirable to use compaction equipment in close proximity to a buried conduit, then the grading contractor may elect to use light mechanical compaction equipment or, with the approval of the geotechnical consultant, cover the conduit with clean granular material. These granular materials shall be jetted in place to the top of the conduit in accordance with the recommendations of Section 7.4 prior to initiating mechanical compaction procedures. Other methods of utility trench compaction may also be appropriate, upon review by the geotechnical consultant and the utility contractor, at the time of construction.
7.8. Clean granular backfill and/or bedding materials are not recommended for use in slope areas unless provisions are made for a drainage system to mitigate the potential for buildup of seepage forces or piping of backfill materials.
7.9. The contractor shall exercise the specified safety precautions, in accordance with OSHA Trench Safety Regulations, while conducting trenching operations. Such precautions include shoring or laying back trench excavations at 1:1 or flatter, depending on material type, for trenches in excess of 5 feet in depth. The geotechnical consultant is not responsible for the safety of trench operations or stability of the trenches.
227522-0000190.00 NV5.COM |
8. DRAINAGE
The following sections provide recommendations pertaining to site drainage.
8.1. Roof, pad, and slope drainage shall be such that it is away from slopes and structures to suitable discharge areas by nonerodible devices (e.g., gutters, downspouts, concrete swales, etc.).
8.2. Positive drainage adjacent to structures shall be established and maintained. Positive drainage may be accomplished by providing drainage away from the foundations of the structure at a gradient of 2 percent or steeper for a distance of 5 feet or more outside the building perimeter, further maintained by a graded swale leading to an appropriate outlet, in accordance with the recommendations of the project civil engineer and/or landscape architect.
8.3. Surface drainage on the site shall be provided so that water is not permitted to pond. A gradient of 2 percent or steeper shall be maintained over the pad area and drainage patterns shall be established to remove water from the site to an appropriate outlet.
8.4. Care shall be taken by the contractor during grading to preserve any berms, drainage terraces, interceptor swales or other drainage devices of a permanent nature on or adjacent to the property. Drainage patterns established at the time of finish grading shall be maintained for the life of the project. Property owners shall be made very clearly aware that altering drainage patterns may be detrimental to slope stability and foundation performance.
9. SITE PROTECTION
The site shall be protected as outlined in the following sections.
9.1. Protection of the site during the period of grading shall be the responsibility of the contractor unless other provisions are made in writing and agreed upon among the concerned parties. Completion of a portion of the project shall not be considered to preclude that portion or adjacent areas from the need for site protection, until such time as the project is finished as agreed upon by the geotechnical consultant, the client, and the regulatory agency.
9.2. The contractor is responsible for the stability of temporary excavations.
Recommendations by the geotechnical consultant pertaining to temporary excavations are made in consideration of stability of the finished project and, therefore, shall not be considered to preclude the responsibilities of the contractor. Recommendations by the geotechnical consultant shall also not be considered to preclude more restrictive requirements by the applicable regulatory agencies.
9.3. Precautions shall be taken during the performance of site clearing, excavation, and grading to protect the site from flooding, ponding, or inundation by surface runoff. Temporary provisions shall be made during the rainy season so that surface runoff is away from and off the working site. Where low areas cannot be avoided, pumps shall be provided to remove water as needed during periods of rainfall.
227522-0000190.00 NV5.COM |
9.4. During periods of rainfall, plastic sheeting shall be used as needed to reduce the potential for unprotected slopes to become saturated. Where needed, the contractor shall install check dams, desilting basins, riprap, sandbags or other appropriate devices or methods to reduce erosion and provide recommended conditions during inclement weather.
9.5. During periods of rainfall, the geotechnical consultant shall be kept informed by the contractor of the nature of remedial or precautionary work being performed on site (e.g., pumping, placement of sandbags or plastic sheeting, other labor, dozing, etc.).
9.6. Following periods of rainfall, the contractor shall contact the geotechnical consultant and arrange a walk-over of the site in order to visually assess rain-related damage. The geotechnical consultant may also recommend excavation and testing in order to aid in the evaluation. At the request of the geotechnical consultant, the contractor shall make excavations in order to aid in evaluation of the extent of rain-related damage.
9.7. Rain or irrigation related damage shall be considered to include, but may not be limited to, erosion, silting, saturation, swelling, structural distress, and other adverse conditions noted by the geotechnical consultant. Soil adversely affected shall be classified as "Unsuitable Material" and shall be subject to overexcavation and replacement with compacted fill or to other remedial grading as recommended by the geotechnical consultant.
9.8. Relatively level areas where saturated soils and/or erosion gullies exist to depths greater than 1 foot shall be overexcavated to competent materials as evaluated by the geotechnical consultant. Where adverse conditions extend to less than 1 foot in depth, saturated and/or eroded materials may be processed in-place. Overexcavated or in-place processed materials shall be moisture conditioned and compacted in accordance with the recommendations provided in Section 4. If the desired results are not achieved, the affected materials shall be overexcavated, moisture conditioned, and compacted until the specifications are met.
9.9. Slope areas where saturated soil and/or erosion gullies exist to depths greater than 1 foot shall be overexcavated and replaced as compacted fill in accordance with the applicable specifications. Where adversely affected materials exist to depths of I foot or less below proposed finished grade, remedial grading by moisture conditioning in-place and compaction in accordance with the appropriate specifications may be attempted. If the desired results are not achieved, the affected materials shall be overexcavated, moisture conditioned, and compacted until the specifications are met. As conditions dictate, other slope repair procedures may also be recommended by the geotechnical consultant.
9.10. During construction, the contractor shall grade the site to provide positive drainage away from structures and to keep water from ponding adjacent to structures. Water shall not be allowed to damage adjacent properties. Positive drainage shall be maintained by the contractor until permanent drainage and erosion reducing devices are installed in accordance with project plans.

City of Twentynine Palms – Septic to Sewer
WWTP Site and Collection System Alternatives
December 2023
Summary of Proposed Sewer Connections - DRAFT
GIS data and assessor property data from San Bernardino County was used to categorize and determine the number of properties (parcels) and the number of equivalent residential connections in the service area for each collection system alternative shown on Exhibit 2. This data is summarized below in Table 1 and Table 2. Except for some very large properties, it is anticipated that each occupied property will have only 1 “master” sewer lateral connection, which may serve multiple dwelling units or buildings. Sewer laterals will not be installed for vacant properties. Properties that are connected to the City’s existing Project Phoenix sewer/septic system were excluded from these amounts since they are already connected to a public sewer system.
