Subject: Soil Characteristics and Absorption Evaluation
Proposed Retention Basins
Riverlakes Park Community Center
3825 Riverlakes Drive
Bakersfield, CA
Dear Mr. Sommers:
This report presents the results of our Soil Characteristics and Absorption Evaluation for the site of the proposed
retention basins at the Proposed Riverlakes Park Community Center in Bakersfield, California (see Figure 1).
1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
On a preliminary basis, it is anticipated that development will include construction of a community park including
community center building, picnic shelter areas, playground facilities, basketball court, parking and landscape areas. The
development has two (2) planned retention basins labeled North and West. It is understood that each basin will be
designed to have an overall depth of 3 to 4 feet and retain approximately 1½ feet of water. Specific design area and
volume of water to be stored are not currently available.
2.0 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The site is located at 3825 Riverlakes Drive in Bakersfield, California (see Figure 1). The site is bounded by Riverlakes
Drive on the northeast, Downing Avenue on the east and southeast, Friant-Kern Canal on the southwest and
Centennial High School on the northwest. The site is currently vacant and is relatively level with no major changes in
grade.

3.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the subsurface conditions encountered during field exploration and to
evaluate the absorption characteristics of the soil within the project site, suitability of the site to support the proposed
basins. The scope of our investigation includes a program of field exploration, permeability testing, engineering analysis
and preparation of a final report.
4.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
Our field exploration consisted of site surface reconnaissance and subsurface exploration. The exploratory tests boring
(B-1 through B-4) were drilled on January 25, 2011 within the proposed basin areas at the approximate locations shown
on Figure 1, Site Plan. The test borings were advanced with a 4-inch diameter auger rotated by a truck-mounted CME-
45C drill rig. The test borings were extended to a depth of approximatly10 feet below the existing grade. The materials
encountered in the test borings were visually classified in the field, and logs were recorded by a field Engineer at that
time. Visual classification of the materials encountered in the test borings was generally made in accordance with the
Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D2487). A soil classification chart and key to sampling is presented on the
Unified Soil Classification Chart, in Appendix "A." The logs of the test borings tests are presented in Appendix "A."
Subsurface soil samples were obtained by driving a Modified California sampler. Penetration resistance blow counts
were obtained by dropping a 140-pound hammer through a 30-inch free fall to drive the sampler to a maximum depth
of 18 inches. The number of blows required to drive the last 12 inches is recorded as Penetration Resistance
(blows/foot) on the logs of borings. Soil samples were obtained from the test borings at the depths shown on the logs
of borings. The samples were recovered and capped at both ends to preserve the samples at their natural moisture
content. At the completion of drilling and sampling, the test borings were backfilled with drill cuttings.
5.0 LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were performed on selected soil samples to evaluate their physical characteristics and engineering
properties. The laboratory testing program was formulated with emphasis on the evaluation of natural moisture,
density, gradation and permeability of the materials encountered. Details of the laboratory test program and the results
of laboratory test are summarized in Appendix "A." This information, along with the field observations, was used to
prepare the final boring logs in Appendix "A."
6.0 SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
Based on our findings, the subsurface conditions encountered appear typical of those found in the geologic region of
the site. In general, the subsurface soil predominately consisted of loose to medium dense sandy silt (ML), silty sand
(SM) and silty sand/sand (SM/SP). These soils extended to the termination depth of our borings.
The soils were classified in the field during the drilling and sampling operations. The stratification lines were
approximated by the field engineer on the basis of observations made at the time of drilling. The actual boundaries
between different soil types may be gradual and soil conditions may vary. For a more detailed description of the
materials encountered, the Boring Logs (Figures A-1 and A-4 in Appendix "A") should be consulted. The Boring Logs
include the soil type, color, moisture content, dry density, and the applicable Unified Soil Classification System symbol.
The locations of the test borings were determined by measuring from features shown on the Site Plan, provided to us.
Hence, accuracy can be implied only to the degree that this method warrants.

Test boring locations were checked for the presence of groundwater during and immediately following the drilling
operations. Free groundwater was not encountered. It should be recognized that water table elevations may fluctuate
with time, being dependent upon seasonal precipitation, irrigation, land use, and climatic conditions as well as other
factors. Therefore, water level observations at the time of the field investigation may vary from those encountered
during the construction phase of the project. The evaluation of such factors is beyond the scope of this report.
7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based upon the data collected during this investigation, and from a geotechnical engineering standpoint, it is our
opinion that the site is suitable for the proposed retention basin development. The proposed retention basins may be
constructed provided that the recommendations presented herein are incorporated in the design and construction of the
project.
7.1 Permeability Testing
Laboratory tests were performed on selected soil samples to evaluate their physical characteristics and engineering
properties. The laboratory-testing program was formulated with emphasis on the evaluation of gradation and
permeability. Details of the laboratory test program and the results of laboratory test are summarized in Appendix "A."
Four permeability tests were performed on undisturbed soil samples collected from depths of 4 to 6 feet below existing
site grade. The permeability tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Test Method D2434. The test results are
as follows:
TABLE 1

11 Silty Sand/Sand (SM/SP)
B-4 4.5 3.2 x 10-3
10 Silty Sand/Sand (SM/SP)
The soils encountered within the site predominately consisted of medium dense sandy silt and silty sand in the North
basin area and loose sandy silt and silty sand/sand in the West basin area. As shown on the table above, the site soils
had low to moderately high absorption characteristics with a coefficient of permeability ranging from 1.1 x 10-5
to 7.2 x
10-3
centimeter per second (cm/sec). The estimated soil absorption factors presented in this report are based on clear
water and a factor of safety should be incorporated into the design of the reservoirs to compensate for soil clogging
from water impurities.
7.3 Retention Basin Design
It is recommended that the proposed basins be constructed into the sandy soils encountered. It is further
recommended that a representative of our firm be present during the installation of the basins to determine soil
conditions below the bottom of the basins. The basins should be designed to drain in 7 days using the absorption
capacity (Q) shown in the table below.

The absorption rates will deteriorate over time due to the soil conditions and a factor of safety (FS) of 3 is
recommended for design of the basins. In addition, periodic maintenance consisting of clearing the bottom of the
retention basins of clogged soils should be expected. The retention basins may become impermeable if the filter is
clogged or the soil is compacted.
The absorption rate may become slower if the surrounding soil is wet or saturated due to prolonged rainfalls. The
owner or civil engineer may elect to use a lower factor of safety for the design; however, more frequent maintenance
consisting of clearing the bottom of the retention basins of clogged soils will be expected. Additional testing may be
conducted at bottom of the retention basins during construction to determine the absorption rate.
Darcy Columns
Based on the results of our permeability testing, the site soils at the North basin area (B-1 and B-2) appear to have
relatively low absorption characteristics. Additional borings will be required to determine if deeper soils have more
favorable absorption characteristics. If deeper soils have more favorable absorption characteristics, Darcy Columns
“drains” may be constructed at the site to increase the absorption capacity and recommendations will be provided
accordingly.
8.0 CHANGED CONDITIONS
The scope of our services did not include a groundwater study and was limited to the performance of permeability
testing and the submitted of the data only. The analyses and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon
the data obtained from the two test borings drilled at the approximate locations shown on the Site Plan, Figure 1. The
report does not reflect variations which may occur between borings. The nature and extent of such variations may not
become evident until construction is initiated. If variations then appear, a re-evaluation of the recommendations of this
report will be necessary after performing on-site observations during the excavation period and noting the
characteristics of such variations.
The findings and recommendations presented in this report are valid as of the present and for the proposed
construction. If site conditions change due to natural processes or human intervention on the property or adjacent to
the site, or changes occur in the nature or design of the project, or if there is a substantial time lapse between the
submission of this report and the start of the work at the site, the conclusions and recommendations contained in our
report will not be considered valid unless the changes are reviewed by SALEM and the conclusions of our report are
modified or verified in writing. The validity of the recommendations contained in this report is also dependent upon an
adequate testing and observations program during the construction phase. Our firm assumes no responsibility for
construction compliance with the design concepts or recommendations unless we have been retained to perform the
on-site testing and review during construction.
