More specific to the property, the site is located in an area geologically mapped to be underlain
by engineered fill placed over older alluvium (USGS 1986). The referenced Leighton report
indicated that the Kern River Formation (QTKr) underlies the site.
4.2 GENERAL SOIUGEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
A brief description of the soils encountered on the site is presented in the following sections.
Based on recent test trenches and previous site borings, the site is generally underlain by
documented fill and alluvium.
4.2.1 Fill
The test trenches encountered fill to depths ranging from about O (Lot 22) to 12 feet below
grade in the test trenches. A!:. encountered in the test trenches, the fill consisted of silty sands,
clayey sands and silty/clayey sands that possess a high relative density. Based on review of the
referenced Leighton report (Leighton, 2007), it appears that the fill possesses a relative
compaction of at least 90%.
Based on the laboratory test results, the upper fill soils have a "very low" (0-20) to "low"
(21-50) expansion potential (ASTM D 4829). Based on the laboratory test results, some of the
upper fill soils have a soluble sulfate content of greater than 0.2 percent (ASTM D 4327). This
classifies the soils as having a "S2" ("Severe") sulfate exposure. The test results are provided in
Appendix B.
4.2.2 Alluvial Deposits
Alluvial deposits were encountered at the surface in test trench T-9 an d beneath the existing fill
in the remaining cesc trenches and extended to th e maximum depth explored of about 13 feet
below grade. The encountered alluvial deposit.s generally consisted of interbedded layers of silty
sands and clayey sands (SM and SC soil types based upon the Unified Soil Classification System).
The alluvial deposits encountered were found to be dense to very dense.
4.3 SURFAC E AND GROUNDWATER
4.3.1 Surface Water
Surface wate r was not observed during the site visit or during drilling. If encountered during
earthwork construction, surface water on this site will most likely be the result of precipitation

Dear Mr. Kashani:
June 3, 2022
Project No. 3145-CR
Geo T ek, Inc. (Geo T ek) is pleased to provide the results of this Update Geotechnical Report
for the subject site located in the Ri o Bravo Country Club area of the City of Bakersfield, Kern
County, California. This report presents a discussion of GeoTek's evaluation and provides
preliminary geotechnical recommendations for site preparation, infrastructure construction
and foundation design.
Based on the results of this evaluation, development of the property appears feasibl e from a
geotechnical viewpoint provided that the recommendations presented in chis report and in
future reports are incorporated into design and construction.

or possibly some minor surface run-off from immediately surrounding properties. Provisions for
surface drainage will need to be accounted for by the project civil engineer.
4.3.2 Groundwater
Groundwater was not encountered in any of the test trenches at the time of excavation
(maximum depth explored of 13 feet. Based on a review of groundwater depths noted on the
Stat e Department of Water Resources Water Data Library website, it is estimated a historic high
groundwater depth in excess of 50 fee t below existing grade exists at the site. It is possible that
seasonal variations (temperature, rainfall,etc.) will cause fluctuations in the groundwater level.
Additionally, perched water may be encountered at shallow depths following extensive rain
events. If shallow perched water is encountered, it is anticipated that it can be managed with
conventional sump pumps or other means.
4.4 SEISMICITY
The geologic structure of the entire California area is dominated mainly by northwest-trending
faults associate d with the San Andreas system. The site is in a seismically active region. No active
or potentially activ e fault is known to exist at this site nor is the site situated within a State of
California designated "Alquist-Priolo" Earthquake Faul t Zone.
As discussed in the referenced Leighton report (Leighton. 2007), several short discontinuous
faults were observed in the northern and southern portions of tile site. These faults generally
trend to the north and northwest and are generally consistent with the discontinuous faults
observed during Leighton's fault investigacions on the adjacenc Trace 5517 to the south an d which
were not deemed t o be active.
Only one active fault was observed on Tract 5517, in the southeastern corner of that site and
generally trends in a northwest direction. Leighton concluded that this fault terminates
approximately 780 feet southeast of the southern limits of Tract 551 6.
4.4.1 Seismic Design Parameters
The site is located at approximately 35.4068" Latitude and -1 1 8.8328 ° Longitude. Due to the
presence of artificial fill overlying older alluvium and presence of the Kern River Formation
bedrock. a Class "C" is deemed appropriat e for this site. Site spectral accelerations (Sa and S1)
for 0.2 and 1.0 second periods for a Class "C" sit e were determined from the SEAOC/OSHPD
web interface that utilizes the USGS web services and retrieves the seismic design data and
presents that information in a report format. These values are presented in the following table:

Final selection of the appropriate seismic design coefficient.s should be made by the project
structural engineer based upon the local practices and ordinances, expected building response
and desired level of conservatism.
4.5 LIQUEFACTIO N ANALYSIS
Liquefaction describes a phenomenon in which cyclic stresses, produced by earthquake.induced
ground motion, create excess pore pressures in relatively cohesionless soils. These soils may
thereby acquire a high degree of mobility, which can lead to lateral movement, sliding, settlement
of loose sediments, sand boils and other damaging deformations. This phenomenon occurs only
below the water table, but, after liquefaction has developed, the effects can propagate upward
into overlying non-saturated soil as excess pore water dissipates.
The project site is located within an area that has not yet been mapped by the St.ate of California
for liquefaction potential. The site is not located within a liquefaction hazard area designated by
the City of Bakersfield or County of Kern.
Based on the depth to groundwater the potential for liquefaction to occur as a result of seismic
activity is considered very low.

mitigation of differential fill settlement potential and that one lot (Lot 22) was graded as a "cut"
lot which will require "capping".
The referenced report stated that finish grade laboratory testing for expansion potential and
sulfate content on each lot, and overexcavation of cut.fill transitions and mitigation of differential
fill conditions were not performed during the rough grading discussed in the report. Leighton
indicated that design plans for each individual lot be reviewed and recommendations be provided
to mitigate cut-fill and differential fill conditions.
2.3 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Based upon discussions, site development is to consist of the conscruction of one- to two-story
single-family residential structures on each of the 22 graded building pads. Given the graded
nature of the site, additional cuts and fills (not including remedial grading or building pad precise
grading) are expected to be minimal.
Although structural loading information has not been provided, it is assumed that the proposed
residences will consist of wood framed structures supported by conventional shallow foundation
and will utilize a slab on-grade ground floor. Maximum column and wall loads of about 50 kips
and 2.5 kips per foot are assumed for the residential structures.

3. FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
FIELD EXPLORATION
Recently, Geo T ek performed a reconnaissance of the site. In addition, ten ( I 0) test trenches
were excavated by GeoTek in order t o review site soils conditions and sample the subsurface
soils for laboratory testing. The test trenches were excavated on April 28. 2022 by means of a
rubber-tire backhoe. Bulk soil samples were obtained for laboratory testing. The approximate
locations of these excavations are shown on Figure 2, Trench Location Map.

4.6 OTHER SEISMIC HAZARDS
Evidence of ancient landslides or slope instability at this site was not observed during the site
reconnaissance o r field exploration. Thus, the potential for landslides is considered negligible for
design purposes.
5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 GENERAL
The anticipated site development appears feasible from a geotechnical viewpoint provided that
th e following recommendations, and those provided by this firm at a later date are incorporated
into the design and construction phases of development. Site development and grading plans
should b e reviewed by GeoTek, Inc. when they become available.
The referenced Leighto n (Leighton, 2007) report documented chat th e fill soils placed at chis site
were tested by Leighton to confirm that they were properly compacted when placed. Recent
subsurface exploration of the site by Geo T ek confirms this assessment. However, Leighton
stated in the referenced report that with the exception of Lots 20 and 21 of Phase 2, over
excavation (lot capping) of the cut and cut-fill transition pads was not performed during rough
grading. Remedial grading will be required to recompact the upper building pad soils on most of
the lots and to perform a lot capping on Lot 22.
The approximate maximum total and differential fill thickness across each lot was presented in
Table I of the referenced Leighton report. Review of this Table indicates that the lots in Phase
require mitigation of differential fill settlement potential. After the completion of the
recommended remedial grading, it is Geo T ek's recommendation that site structures be
supported on post-tensioned (PT) slabs which should be designed in consideration of a maximum
differential setdement (combined static plus seismic) of 1.5 inches over a horizontal dist.ance of
30 feet.

3.2 LABORATORY TESTING
Project No. 3145-CR
June 3, 2022
Page 4
Laboratory testing was performed by GeoTek on selected soil samples obtained from the test
trenches. The purpose of the laboratory testing was co confirm the field classification of che
soils encountered and to evaluate the physical properties of the soils for use in engineering design
and analysis.
A direct shear tes t was conducted on a select soil type remolded to approximately 90 percent
of maximum dry density to review the shear strength parameters of the test soils. The optimum
moisture content-maximum dry density relationship was established for typical soil types so that
the relative compaction of the subsoils could be determined. Expansion index testing was
performed on three selected sample to evaluate the expansion potential of the site soils.
Chemical testing, comprised of pH, soluble sulfate, chloride and resistivity testing, was conducted
on selected samples. The maximum density, expansion index and chemical test dat.a are
presented in Appendix B.
4. GEOLOGIC AND SOILS CONDI TIONS
4.1 REGIONAL SETTING
The property is situated in the Grea t Valley geomorphic province. The Grea t Valley province is
one of the largest geomorphic units in western North America It extends approximately 440
miles from the Sacramento Valley, drained by the Sacramento River, to the San Joaquin Valley,
drained by the San Joaquin River, to the southeasterly adjacent the Sierra Nevada province. This
province varies in width from about 30 to 80 miles. The Great Valley is a trough in which
sediments hav e been deposited since the Jurassic (about 160 millio n years ago). Great oil fields
have been found in southernmost San Joaquin Valley and along anticlinal uplifts on its
southwestern margin. In the Sacrament o Valley, the Sutte r Buttes, the remnants of an isolated
Pliocen e volcano rise above th e valley floor. It is bounded on th e west. northwest and southwest
by the Coast Ranges province and on the east, northeast and southeast by the Sierra Nevada
province.
The San Joaquin Fault borders the northwestern portion of the Great Central Valley province,
adjacent to the Coast Ranges province, while th e White Wolf Fault borders the southeastern
portion adjacent to the Sierra Nevada province.
