Our services were completed in accordance with our revised proposal for geotechnica l engineering services dated December 2, 2017 and your authorization to proceed with the work. The purpo se of our investigation was to explore the subsurface conditions at the site in order to provide recommendations for foundation design and site preparation . Evaluation of environmental issues and hazardous wastes was not included within the scope of service s provid ed . The opinions, recommendation s and design criteria presented in this report are based on our field exploration program, labor atory testing and engineering analyses. Based on the results of our investigation, it is our professional opinion that the proposed project should be feasible from a geotechnical perspective pro vided that the recommendations presented in this report are implemented in design and carried out through construction. We appreciate the opportunity to provide service to you on this project. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact the und ersigned.

The site is situated on the northern end of APN 572-190-004 and is located at approximately 33.5233 degrees north latitude and 116.7762 degrees west longitude. The approximate location of the site is indicated on the Site Location Map (Figure 1). Our investigation was conducted in order to evaluate the engineering properties of the subsurface materials, to evaluate their in-situ characteristics, and to provide engineering recommendations and design criteria for site preparation, foundation design and the design of various site improvements. This study also includes a review of published and unpublished geotechnical and geological literature regarding seismicity at and near the subject site. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Based on our preliminary discussions, it is our understanding that the proposed project will consist of constructing a new health care facility on the currently vacant property. We anticipate that the project will also include a new on-site sewage disposal system consisting of a septic tank and leach lines, stormwater retention areas, paved parking, underground utilities, concrete flatwork and various associated site improvements. For our analyses we expect that the proposed structure will consist of a single story
