1 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of the geotechnical services performed by DiazYourman &
Associates (DYA) for the Dos Lagos Segment of the proposed Temescal Canyon Road
Widening in Corona, County of Riverside, California (Project). NCM Engineering Corporation
authorized this work with a written contract on April 22, 2016.
The Project reach consists of the approximately 0.6-mile-long segment of Temescal Canyon
Road located between Dos Lagos Drive and Leroy Road, as shown on the Vicinity Map, Figure
1. Along the Project reach, Temescal Canyon Road provides one lane of traffic in each
direction; we understand that the County of Riverside proposes to widen and slightly realign
Temescal Canyon Road at the site to provide two travel lanes in each direction to match the
four-lane roadway facilities north and south of the Project. The approximate layout of the
proposed Project is shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2.

The proposed improvements will include two 12-foot-wide lanes and an 8-foot-wide bike lane in
each direction, along with a center 12-foot two-way left-turn lane (painted median). The Project
will also consist of constructing new concrete curbs and gutters; reconstructing driveway and
street tie-ins; constructing ADA-compliant curb ramps; and relocating existing utilities. In
addition, a 6-foot-wide curb-adjacent sidewalk might be constructed on one or both sides of the
street.
The purpose of DYA's investigation was to provide geotechnical input for the design of the
proposed Project. The scope of our services consisted of the following:
Reviewing existing data.
Conducting a subsurface investigation.
Performing laboratory tests on selected soil samples.
Performing engineering analyses to develop conclusions and recommendations
regarding the following:
o Subsurface conditions
o Site preparation and grading
o Pavement thickness for new pavements
o Soil corrosion potential
Preparing this report.
Performing non-destructive testing, such as falling-weight deflectometer testing, for evaluation
of pavement rehabilitation options was outside DYA’s scope of services.

2 DATA REVIEW, FIELD EXPLORATION, AND LABORATORY TESTING
Subsurface data from the Project vicinity presented in previous reports by others were reviewed
to supplement site data collected during this exploration. A list of the documents reviewed is
presented in the bibliography (Section 7).
The field exploration, which was conducted on July 18 and August 10, 2016, consisted of drilling
six soil borings using hollow-stem-auger and hand-auger drilling techniques at the locations
shown on Figure 2. The boring locations were chosen to provide areal coverage of the Project
site for grading and pavement design based on site access restrictions. The boring depths
ranged from approximately 1 to 6.5 feet below the ground surface. Details of the field
exploration, including sampling procedures and boring logs, are presented in Appendix A.
Soil samples collected from the borings were re-examined in the laboratory to substantiate field
classifications. Selected soil samples were tested for moisture content, dry density, grain-size
distribution, percent passing the No. 200 sieve, Atterberg limits, compaction characteristics,
sand equivalent, pavement-supporting capacity (R-value), and corrosion potential (pH, electrical
resistivity, soluble chlorides, and soluble sulfates). The soil samples tested are identified on the
boring logs. Laboratory test data are summarized on the boring logs in Appendix A and
presented on individual test reports in Appendix B.

3 SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE CONDITIONS 3.1
Along the Project reach, Temescal Canyon Road consisted of an asphalt concrete- (AC-) paved
roadway providing one lane of traffic in each direction. A left-turn lane from the northbound
direction was observed at the intersection of Temescal Canyon with Dos Lagos Drive. Left-turn
lanes from the northbound and southbound directions were also observed at the intersection
located approximately 600 feet south of Dos Lagos Drive.
The condition of the existing AC pavement surface generally varied from poor to fair and
exhibited some signs of distress, including transverse, longitudinal, and alligator cracking and
patching. The thickness of the existing pavement structural section consisted of approximately
6 inches of AC underlain by approximately 7 inches of base; however, it should be noted that
the pavement section thickness was evaluated only near the northern terminus of the Project
reach because of site access restrictions. See Section 3.2 regarding possibility of abandoned
concrete pavement beneath the existing AC pavement surface.
At the time of our field exploration, topography along Temescal Canyon Road was generally flat
and sloped for drainage. Elevations ranged from a maximum of 913 feet near the intersection of
Temescal Canyon Road and Leroy Road to a minimum of 881 feet near the intersection of
Temescal Canyon Road and Dos Lagos Drive.
AC-paved shoulders of varying width were present along most of the Project reach; concrete
sidewalks, curbs, and gutters were partially present east and west of Temescal Canyon Road
along the northern ⅓ of the Project reach. Adjacent land usage to the east and west consisted
primarily of commercial and some residential properties along the middle ½ of the Project reach.
An existing nursery was present to the east and west of Temescal Canyon Road along the
northern ¼ of the Project reach, with generally undeveloped properties along the southern ¼ of
the Project reach. Embankments of varying height and inclination ascended from Temescal
Canyon Road to the west along portions of the Project reach. Numerous large trees were
observed along the east and west shoulders of Temescal Canyon Road along the entire Project
reach.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS 3.2
The subgrade soils consisted primarily of loose to medium-dense silty and clayey sands along
the entire Project reach. The in situ and optimum moisture contents, in situ and maximum unit
weights, relative compaction1, and R-values of the subsurface materials are summarized in
Table 1. Groundwater was not encountered during drilling operations.

As discussed in Appendix A, a concrete obstruction was encountered directly below the existing
pavement section in borings DYB16-04 and DYB16-04A. DYA was not able to identify the
obstruction in the field, nor could we evaluate its thickness or lateral extents. Based on the
findings of the rest of our field exploration, we judge that the obstruction can likely be attributed
to abandoned pavements that are likely associated with a former state highway with an
alignment similar to that of the current Temescal Canyon Road. The County of Riverside
Transportation and Land Management Department (County) published a materials report (2012)
documenting the findings of pavement corings and ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys
performed along the northern 1/3 of the Project reach. The findings of the corings and GPR
surveys indicated that alignment of the former state highway likely coincided with the existing
southbound lane of Temescal Canyon Road and was likely 18 to 20 feet wide and composed of
Portland cement concrete (PCC).
1 Relative compaction refers to the in-place dry density of soil expressed as a percentage of the maximum dry density of the same
material, as determined by the ASTM International (ASTM) D1557 test method. Optimum moisture content is the moisture content corresponding to the maximum dry density, as determined by the ASTM D1557 test method.

4 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on geotechnical considerations, the on-site soils can support the proposed
improvements. The primary construction consideration is the potential presence of old concrete
pavements beneath some to all of the existing AC pavements along the Project reach. The
potential presence of the old concrete pavements could result in changed conditions during
construction because the lateral extents and thickness of the old concrete pavements are not
well defined at this time. We recommend that additional evaluations be performed to better
identify the footprint and thickness of the old concrete pavements. In addition, the contract
documents should alert the contractor to the potential presence of old concrete pavements
underneath the existing pavements.
PAVEMENT THICKNESS DESIGN 4.1
Recommended minimum dense-graded hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and PCC pavement sections are
presented on Figure 3. The recommended minimum pavement sections are based on the
following:
R-value of 38.
Caltrans design method.
Traffic index (TI) of 10.5, based on information provided by NCM Engineering
Corporation (2016) for Temescal Canyon Road.
The minimum thickness of compacted basement soil and aggregate base (AB) are outlined on
Figure 3. Prior to placing the AB, the basement soils should be firm, hard, and unyielding, and
should not “pump” under the loads of the construction and paving equipment. The basement
soil (subgrade) and AB should be compacted to at least 95% relative compaction. The AB
requirements and specifications are outlined on Figure 3.

Note(s):
1. Asphalt rubber hot mix (ARHM) should satisfy the requirements of Greenbook Sections 203 or Caltrans Standard Specifications Section 39. Please note that Caltrans refers to ARHM as rubber hot mix asphalt (RHMA).
2. Dense-graded HMA and PCC should satisfy the requirements of Caltrans Standard Specifications Sections 39 and 40, respectively, or Greenbook Sections 203, and 201 and 302, respectively. Thickness shown for PCC is for doweled pavement.
3. Base course = AB or crushed miscellaneous base (CMB), in accordance with Caltrans Standard Specifications Section 26 or Greenbook Section 200, respectively. The minimum relative compaction is 95%.
4. Compacted in-place natural basement soil or fill; at least 95% relative compaction.
Figure 3 - PAVEMENT THICKNESS
Generally, rigid PCC pavement costs more for initial construction but requires less maintenance
than flexible HMA pavement. For heavy wheel loads along limited alignments, queuing areas,
turning areas, dolly pads, bus stops, and refuse pickup areas, PCC pavement is preferred. For
PCC pavements, the following should be considered:
Construct pavements in a 15-foot square grid or smaller (20 foot rectangular areas if a
square is not practical).
Expansion joints should extend the full depth of the pavement.
Potential joints depth of ¼ of the pavement thickness.
Cure for a minimum of 7 days.
No traffic until the compressive strength exceeds 2,000 pounds per square inch (psi).

K:\datafls\PROJECTS\2016\2016-016\Report\2016-016 Dos Lagos Segment v2.docx
Minimum compressive strength of 3,000 psi.
Dowels to strengthen joints.
Minimum slope of 1%.
The dense-graded HMA and PCC layers should not be replaced with open-graded asphalt
concrete (OGAC) and pervious PCC, respectively, to provide a fully permeable pavement. A
separate design is recommended for fully permeable pavements.
EARTHWORK 4.2
Prior to the start of construction, the following should be performed:
All utilities should be located in the field and rerouted, removed, abandoned, or
protected.
Areas should be graded to the planned subgrade elevation.
Reconstructing the road segments may require removing some or all of the existing
pavements and base materials.
The excavated AC and base materials should be taken to a recycling plant.
Unpaved areas to be graded and paved should initially be stripped of all vegetation and
debris, and the material should be removed from the site. Stripping should include root
bulbs associated with existing trees and other landscaping that will be removed to
accommodate the proposed improvements. Clearing of such bulbs and portions thereof
should include roots larger than ½ inch in diameter.
The lateral extents and thickness of the old concrete pavements discussed in Section
3.2 should be further evaluated as-needed.
Prior to placing fill, the exposed subgrade should be:
Scarified to a depth of 8 inches.
Moisture-conditioned to above optimum moisture content.
Compacted to at least 95% relative compaction (or to 90% as indicated elsewhere in the
report).

10
K:\datafls\PROJECTS\2016\2016-016\Report\2016-016 Dos Lagos Segment v2.docx
Fill should be compacted by:
Placing in loose layers less than 8 inches thick.
Moisture-conditioning to above optimum moisture content.
Compacting to at least 95% relative compaction (or to 90% as indicated elsewhere in the
report).
The compacted subgrade soils should be firm, hard, and unyielding.
Import materials (if required) for fill should meet the criteria in Table 2.

Caltrans Specification Section1 19-6.02
Maximum particle size (inches) 3
Maximum liquid limit (%) 30

1. The fills and backfill shall meet the specified Caltrans (Caltrans, 2015a)/Greenbook (Building News, 2015) criteria and the additional recommendations provided in this table.
Concrete flatwork (i.e., slabs-on-grade, sidewalks, hardscape, curbs, and gutters) should be
underlain by a minimum of 12 inches of compacted engineered soil. The recommended
minimum compaction is 95% but can be reduced to 90% underneath the non-load bearing
elements such as sidewalks in accordance with County of Riverside guidelines (NCM, 2018).
Site grading may be accomplished with conventional heavy-duty construction equipment. The
fill should be compacted using soil compactors designed for compaction as defined by the
Caterpillar Performance Handbook (2016), or equivalent. However, to avoid overstressing
existing buildings, culvert, or other structures backfill adjacent to these existing structures may
need to be compacted using lightweight compaction equipment.
The stability of temporary excavations is a function of several factors, including the total time the
excavation is exposed, moisture condition, soil type and consistency, and contractor's
operations. The contractor is responsible for excavation safety. As a guideline, temporary
construction excavations greater than 3 feet but less than 10 feet deep should be planned with
slopes no steeper than 1.5H:1V (horizontal to vertical). For steeper temporary construction
SUPPLEMENTAL PROJECT INFORMATION, GEOTECH REPORT, DOS LAGOS SEGMENT, SHEET 12 of 41
11
K:\datafls\PROJECTS\2016\2016-016\Report\2016-016 Dos Lagos Segment v2.docx
slopes or deeper excavations, shoring should be provided for stability and protection. The
contractor should strictly adhere to grading requirements of County of Riverside and applicable
health and safety regulations, including those of the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA, 2016).
UTILITY TRENCHES 4.3
Utility trenches (either open or backfilled) that parallel structures, pavement, or flatwork should
be planned so that they do not extend below a plane with a downward slope of 1.5H:1V from the
bottom edge of footings, pavement, or flatwork. Temporary shoring to provide footing,
pavement, flatwork, or utility support is recommended unless localized settlements on the order
of 1% of the trench depth can be tolerated.
All excavations should comply with appropriate safety standards outlined in Section 4.2.
Utility pipes should be placed on the bottom of a neatly cut trench on a layer of bedding as
outlined on Figure 4 or according to the manufacturer's recommendations, whichever is more
stringent. Jetting should not be allowed for compaction purposes. The materials encountered
in the field should be checked for suitability as bedding material in accordance with the Caltrans
(2015a) and Greenbook (Building News, 2015) specifications shown on Figure 4. Based on the
laboratory test results presented in Appendix B, we anticipate that the near-surface sandy soils
will be suitable for reuse as trench backfill. The near-surface sandy soils should be tested to
check whether they meet the criteria for bedding soils.
To expedite construction, import materials or controlled low-strength material (CLSM, i.e.,
“slurry”) can be used as trench zone backfill. Where used, import fills should satisfy the criteria
in Table 2. In general, CLSM should satisfy the criteria of Section 201-6 of the Greenbook
(Building News, 2015) or Caltrans Specification Section 19-3.02G (Caltrans, 2015a); however,
when used within the upper 2 feet of trench zone backfill (dimension E on Figure 4) CLSM
should consist of a minimum of 100 pounds of cement per cubic yard (approximate equivalent of
1-sack slurry). Where approved by the manufacturer, CLSM can also be used as bedding or
within pipe zone.

CORROSION POTENTIAL 4.4
Two soil samples were tested for pH, soluble chloride and soluble sulfate, and soil electrical
resistivity for corrosion potential. The range of test values is summarized in Table 3. Also
presented in Table 3 are Caltrans ( 2014, 2015c) corrosion criteria. The corrosion potential test
results are presented in Appendix B. Based on these test results and the Caltrans corrosion
criteria, the near-surface soils at the site are considered non-corrosive to buried features. We
recommend that the concrete be designed for exposure class S0 from American Concrete
Institute (ACI) 318 (ACI, 2011).

In addition to the soil characteristics, external factors such as nearby active corrosion systems
will greatly affect the need for an active corrosion protection system. The test data provided
herein can be used by others to develop details of corrosion protection. Borrow soils imported
to the Project site should be tested for corrosion potential.

5 PLAN REVIEW, CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION, AND TESTING
DYA should be retained to review the final grading and construction plans and specifications for
conformance with the intent of our recommendations. The review will enable DYA to modify the
recommendations if final design conditions are different than presently understood.
During construction, DYA should provide field observation and testing to check that the site
preparation, excavation, and finished grading conform to the intent of these recommendations,
project plans, and specifications. This would allow DYA to develop supplemental
recommendations as appropriate for the actual soil conditions encountered and the specific
construction techniques used by the contractor.
As needed during construction, DYA should be retained to consult on geotechnical questions,
construction problems, and unanticipated site conditions.

6 LIMITATIONS
This report has been prepared for this project in accordance with generally accepted
geotechnical engineering practices common to the local area. No other warranty, expressed or
implied, is made.
The analyses and recommendations contained in this report are based on the literature review,
field exploration, and laboratory testing conducted in the area. The results of the field
exploration indicate subsurface conditions only at the specific locations and times, and only to
the depths penetrated. They do not necessarily reflect strata variations that may exist between
such locations. Although subsurface conditions have been explored as part of the exploration,
we have not conducted chemical laboratory testing on samples obtained or evaluated the site
with respect to the presence or potential presence of contaminated soil or groundwater
conditions, for mold, or methane gas.
The validity of our recommendations is based in part on assumptions about the stratigraphy.
Observations during construction can help confirm such assumptions. If subsurface conditions
different from those described are noted during construction, recommendations in this report
must be re-evaluated. DYA should be retained to observe earthwork construction in order to
help confirm that our assumptions and recommendations are valid or to modify them
accordingly. In accordance with California Building Code Chapter 17 Section 1704A, DYA
cannot assume responsibility or liability for the adequacy of recommendations if we do not
observe construction.
This report is intended for use only for the project described. In the event that any changes in
the nature, design, or location of the facilities are planned, the conclusions and
recommendations contained in this report should not be considered valid unless the changes
are reviewed and conclusions of this report are modified or verified in writing by DYA. We are
not responsible for any claims, damages, or liability associated with the interpretation of
subsurface data or reuse of the subsurface data or engineering analyses without our express
written authorization.

APPENDIX A - FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the proposed Project consisted of drilling four borings (DYB16-02
through DYB16-04, and DYB16-04A) to depths ranging from approximately 1 to 6.5 feet below
the ground surface (bgs). Boring DYB16-01 was abandoned because of underground utility
conflict. An unidentified concrete obstruction was encountered directly below the existing
pavement section in the initial attempt for boring DYB16-04. The location of boring DYB16-04
was moved approximately 8 feet to the north (DYB16-04A) and redrilled; however, an
unidentified concrete obstruction was encountered at a similar depth in boring DYB16-04A and
the boring was subsequently abandoned. Because alternative locations could not be
reasonably identified along Temescal Canyon Road near the locations of borings DYB16-01
and DYB16-04, two hand-auger borings (DYHA16-01 and DYHA16-02) were performed in the
unpaved adjacent shoulder areas to check that the subsurface conditions in these areas of the
Project reach were consistent with the soil conditions encountered in borings DYB16-02 and
DYB16-03. The depths of the hand-auger borings ranged from approximately 5 to 5.5 feet bgs.
The approximate boring and hand-auger boring locations are shown on Figure 2.
Prior to drilling the borings, the field exploration locations were marked in the field and
Underground Service Alert was notified. The field exploration locations were subsequently
checked for underground utilities using geophysical techniques. The geophysical survey was
performed by Southwest Geophysics, Inc. The boring and hand-auger location coordinates
shown on the boring logs presented herein were identified in the field using a hand-held global
positioning system unit with an estimated 6-foot horizontal accuracy.
Borings DYB16-02 through DYB16-04A were drilled by 2R drilling Inc. on July 18, 2016, with a
truck-mounted CME-75 drill rig using hollow-stem-auger drilling techniques. Our field engineer
observed the drilling operations and collected bulk and drive samples for visual examination and
subsequent laboratory testing. Drive samples were collected with a 2.4-inch-inside-diameter
(3.0-inch-outside-diameter) modified California split-barrel sampler lined with stainless-steel
tubes with dimensions in accordance with ASTM International (ASTM) D3550. The sampler
was driven with a 140-pound automatic trip hammer falling 30 inches. Based on communication
with the drilling company, the hammer used during the field exploration was last calculated on
January 18, 2016; the efficiency rating (ER) was 74.2%.
The hammer blows required to drive the modified California sampler were converted to
equivalent standard penetration test (SPT) N-values by multiplying by 0.65 (N = 0.65 x modified

K:\datafls\PROJECTS\2016\2016-016\Report\2016-016 Dos Lagos Segment v2.docx
California blows per foot). A sampler driving refusal criteria of 50 hammer blows for less than
6 inches of penetration for the modified California or SPT samplers was used. An equivalent
SPT blow count was then calculated by multiplying the sampler blow count (usually 50 blows)
by the ratio of 6 inches divided by the actual sampler penetration in inches.
Hand-auger borings DYHA16-01 and DYHA16-02 were performed by DiazYourman &
Associates on August 31, 2016, using a 3.25-inch-diameter stainless steel hand-auger. While
performing the hand augers, our field engineer collected bulk and drive samples for visual
examination and subsequent laboratory testing. Drive samples were collected using a manually
driven 2-inch-inside-diameter (2.5-inch-outside-diameter) hand sampler lined with stainless steel
tubes. Blow counts were not recorded for the drive samples collected from the hand-auger
borings.
Soils encountered in the borings were classified in general accordance with ASTM D2487,
which is summarized on Plate A1, and ASTM D2488. Boring logs presented on Plates A2
through A6 were prepared from visual examination of the samples, cuttings obtained during
drilling operations, and results of laboratory tests. The equivalent SPT N-values presented on
the boring logs were derived from the equivalent SPT blow counts recorded in the field, which
were modified by multiplying by the ratio of ER/60 to obtain the equivalent SPT N60-value for
each sample. Surface elevations of the boring locations were interpreted from topographic
maps provided by NCM Engineering Corporation (2016).
Groundwater was not encountered during the field exploration to the maximum depth explored,
approximately 6.5 feet bgs. Borings were backfilled with soil cuttings. Paved surfaces were
patched with cold-patch asphalt.
