Subject: Foundation Report for Stillwater Road Overcrossing

Per your request dated April 12, 2016, the Office of Geotechnical Design North (OGDN)
is providing this Foundation Report (FR) for the design of the new Stillwater Road
Overcrossing, Bridge No. 06-0213. This structure will be located at the intersection of
Stillwater Road and State Highway Route 44 in Shasta County, east of Redding.

Scope of Work

The scope of work included a literature and historical review, and a subsurface exploration
program in an effort to obtain geological and geotechnical data pertaining to the subject
site that could provide insight into the design and construction of the proposed
overcrossing.

Project Description

The Stillwater Road Overcrossing is a proposed new bridge being built over the existing
State Highway Route 44 at Stillwater Road to improve traffic operations at the intersection.

Based on the General Plan dated May 6, 2016, the design of the new Stillwater Road
Overcrossing will be a continuous 2-span PC/PS bulb-tee girder. The length and width of
the bridge are 194 feet and about 43 feet, respectively. The overcrossing will consist of
one 12 foot northbound lane and one 12 foot southbound lane with 8 foot wide shoulders
in both directions.

Field Investigation and Testing Program

A field investigation was conducted in December 2015 for the proposed Stillwater Road
Overcrossing. This subsurface field investigation consisted of three boreholes, two drilled
to a depth of 100 feet and one to a depth of 90.6 feet. The borings were drilled near the
proposed Abutment 1, Bent 2, and Abutment 3 locations, respectively. The drilling access
was good at each abutment but somewhat limited at Bent 2 due to the heavy traffic volume.
The eastbound turn pocket for Stillwater Road was utilized for the Bent 2 drilling, as close
as possible to the Bent 2 location (about 4 feet right of the centerline of Bent 2).

The data from these borings is summarized in the Local Geology section of this report.

Laboratory Testing Program

Soil samples were collected during the field investigation and submitted to the soils
laboratory for testing. These test results will be provided when they become available.

Additionally, samples were collected for corrosion testing. Test results are provided in the
corrosion evaluation section of this report, and attached in the Appendix.

Site Geology and Subsurface Conditions

Regional Geology

Based on the published geologic map, the site is located in Pleistocene Nonmarine
Sedimentary (Qc) deposits of the Red Bluff Formation consisting of well-rounded
boulders and gravel within a tan to brick-red iron-stained matrix of sand and some clay;
unnamed gravels of basalt and andesite which unconformably overlie the Tuscan
Formation which may be stratigraphically lower than the Red Bluff Formation.
Undifferentiated later terrace deposits associated with the Red Bluff Formation (Red Bank
Quadrangle). This information is from the 1:250,000 scale, Geologic Map of California,
Olaf P. Jenkins Edition, Redding Sheet, compiled by Rudolph G. Strand, 1962, third
printing 1977.

Local Geology

The field investigation revealed the subsurface soils consist of a combination of clay, silt,
fine to coarse sand and gravel with cobbles to approximately eight inches in diameter. Bent
2 included asphalt and road base, (approximately 8 inches thick) overlying similar material.
At depth, the same material was encountered to the bottom of the borings with some minor

exceptions being a few sandy lean clayey-silt and well-graded or poorly-graded sand
lenses.

Groundwater

There was no indication of groundwater at the proposed Stillwater Road Overcrossing

bridge site during the subsurface investigation. The lowest elevation drilled was at Bent
2, Boring RC-15-002, drilled to 91.6 feet or elevation 474.4 feet.

Groundwater surface elevations are subject to seasonal fluctuations and may occur at
higher or lower elevations depending on the conditions at the time of construction.

Scour Evaluation

There are no scour issues at this location.

Corrosion Evaluation

Samples from Abutment 1, Bent 2 and Abutment 3 were tested by the Office of Structural
Materials, Corrosion and Structural Concrete Field Investigation Branch (CSCFI) for
corrosion potential.

According to the Corrosion Test Summary Report, the site is corrosive to foundation
elements.

Corrosion test results from the Caltrans CSCFI Branch are shown in Table 1 below.

The Caltrans Corrosion Guidelines states that:

A site is considered corrosive if one or more of the following conditions exist for the
representative soil and/or water sample taken at the site: Chloride concentration is 500
ppm or greater, sulfate concentration is 2000 ppm or greater, or the pH is 5.5 or less.

The minimum resistivity serves only as an indicator parameter for the possible presence of
soluble salts and is not included in the definition of a corrosive site. If the minimum
resistivity of the sample is greater than 1000 ohm-cm, the sample is considered to be non-
corrosive and testing to determine the sulfate and chloride content is not performed.

Seismic Recommendations

Based on the Caltrans ARS Online Tool (Version 2.3.07), the controlling fault is the Battle
Creek 2011 CFM (Fault ID No. 43). The Battle Creek 2011 CFM fault is referred to as a
reverse fault dipping 75 to the north with a MMax of 6.6. The closest distances between
the rupture planes of the Battle Creek 2011 CFM fault and the site is 10.7 miles.

Based on the soil characteristic, a VS30 (the weighted average shear wave velocity for the
top 100 feet of foundation materials) of 1000 feet per second is considered to be applicable
to the site materials.

Based on the Methodology for Developing Design Response Spectrum for Use in Seismic
Design Recommendations, the design ground motion is the highest spectral acceleration
as obtained by any or a combination of the following three methods at the proposed bridge.

1) Statewide minimum deterministic spectrum requirements with MMax of 6.5, for a

vertical strike-slip event with a rupture distance of 7.5 miles.
2) Use of the nearest active fault and near active fault factors as shown on the ARS Online
Tool (Version 2.3.07).
3) The USGS 5% Probability of Exceedance in 50 years (975 year return period).

Based on the VS30, the design Acceleration Response Spectrum (ARS) is determined by
method 3 as stated above. The PGA is estimated to be 0.29g.

Liquefaction potential is considered to be non-existent.

Surface Fault Rupture

Based on the Department of Conservation Map No. 6 2010 Fault Activity Map, the
potential for surface fault rupture at the site is absent because there are no known faults
that are Holocene or younger in age that fall within 1,000 feet. Furthermore, based on the
Department of Conservation Special Studies the structure does not fall within an Alquist-
Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone.

Construction Considerations

1. If the spread footing excavations expose unsuitable material, including wet soil at
the bottom of footing elevations or the soils are disturbed, then these soils shall be
re-compacted or removed and replaced with structure backfill compacted
according to Caltrans Standard Specifications. Alternatively, the bottom of footing
elevations can be lowered to undisturbed competent material.

2. Concrete shall be placed neat against competent material. All loose material shall
be removed prior to placement of concrete.

3. Completed excavations are to be inspected and approved by this Office or a

representative from the Office of Structure Construction, prior to placement of
concrete.

4. Difficult excavation conditions due to the presence of cobbles and/or caving may
be encountered during footing excavation.

Introduction
Chameleon Ways, Inc. has been involved in the installation of external decorative resin surfacing
for over 10 years with product experience dating back over 30 years.

Chameleon Ways philosophy is to create and develop a wide range of decorative, hard
wearing surfacing solutions. Landscape architects, engineers and government bodies alike
have entrusted Chameleon Ways with their high standard of quality in not only their products but
authorized contractors as well.

The most common question that we are asked is to clarify the difference between our Resin
Bound and Resin Bonded surfacing products.

Addaset, Addabound, Addapave and Addaprint are examples of Resin Bound Textured/
Pervious Surfaces. Resin Bonded surfaces are produced utilizing a specific gradation of aggregates
combined in a forced action mixing unit. After aggregates are properly combined a natural or
colored resin binder is added during the mixing cycle until the material is thoroughly coated.
Finished mixture is immediately discharged into mobile delivery units, transported to application
area to be placed and finished. Material is trowelled to a smooth finish having no loose
aggregate.

Addastone is an example of Resin Bonded impervious surface creating the look of loose gravel
which is bonded to the surface. Resin is applied evenly over existing surface and varying size
aggregates are broadcast across the binder. After the surface is allowed to cure the excess
aggregates are swept from the surface. Occasional sweeping is required for sometime after
installation to remove loose gravel.

Resin Bonded Resin Bound

Resin Bonded surfaces are produced from Resin Bound porous surfaces are produced
a graded aggregate applied directly from a blend of graded aggregates mixed
onto a natural or colored resin, creating with a clear resin and trowelled to a smooth

Apply over:

Asphalt is the ideal base and it is suitable for all types of trafficking subject to the properly engineered
base build up. Application to existing asphalt surfaces are subject to suitability. Freshly laid asphalt must
be allowed to cure for a minimum of 90 days.

Concrete is also suitable for all types of trafficking subject to the properly engineered base build up,
however, joints in the concrete must be reflected through the Resin Bonded finish. Freshly laid concrete
must be allowed to cure for a minimum of 30 days and Addastone Primer must be used to prime the
surface after suitable preparation and prior to application of the Resin Bonded finish.

Wood is also suitable, however, all wood must be clean and dry.

New Asphalt must be allowed to cure/harden for minimum of 30 days prior to placement of resin
products. Resin Bound surfaces are not designed for placement on cracked, deformed, pushed or
rutted pavement. We recommend replacement of deteriorated asphalt pavement to sufficient
depth to eliminate existing problems and provide suitable support for years to come.

Application Over Concrete:

Concrete provides a suitable base for resin bound surfaces however; concrete joints must be
addressed. New concrete must cure for a minimum of 30 days and a primer is required prior to
placement of resin surfacing.

Application Over Compacted Washed Stone:

Placement over compacted washed stone provides ample support for pedestrian use only. It is
important to provide a well compacted washed stone base to handle intended load. In this instance,
the Resin Bound finish should be applied at a minimum depth of 1 over compacted stone base. Typical
sub-base requirements can be downloaded from our website www.chameleonways.com.

We would like to point out that while every care is taken to provide an exact indication of the colors of our products, these aggregates are natural
materials which are subject to changes in appearance and color. Some of the gravel and samples supplied may occasionally contain minor
concentrations of iron minerals which upon weathering may result in areas of rust spot staining. These iron minerals occur naturally within the gravel
deposits and Chameleon Ways cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage suffered as a result of such staining.

 RAINIER SUPREME
Superior Erosion Protection

DESCRIPTION
RAINIER SUPREME consists of specially processed, extra long strand, virgin wood fibers along with a
high-strength, non-toxic, cross-linked organic binder. This combination gives superior erosion protection
without the addition of man-made synthetic fibers which are not naturally biodegradable. The system
sprays on like mulch and forms a blanket that adheres to the soil surface immediately upon application.
When dry, the blanket is porous, erosion resistant and protects the soil surface. The blanket retains its
integrity and soil protection despite re-wetting for well beyond twelve months. The extra long, woolly
wood fibers form tent-like pockets which aids germination and plant growth. When applied over the soil
surface the wood fibers twist and interlock with each other and the soil as they dry.

RAINIER SUPREME is 100% naturally biodegradable and is non-toxic to fish and wildlife.

ADVANTAGES
Extra long wood fibers make a stronger mat, thus increasing erosion protection.
Greater than 99% effectiveness in controlling soil loss.
No man-made synthetic fiber--wood fiber is 100% biodegradable.
Plant growth increase greater than 400% versus bare soil.
Mat blanket retains integrity after repeated rains.
Conforms to all surface contours. Eliminates tenting and rilling.
Pre-mixed fiber blended with binder disperses quickly in slurry for fast hydration.
High temperature 177C (350F) steam and thermo-mechanical refining sterilizes the fiber.
Binder additive is homogeneously mixed with the fiber. Its all in one bag.

RAINIER SUPREME is fast to load in hydroseeding equipment from easy-to-handle plastic bags. The
fibers make a homogeneous slurry of water, seed and fertilizer. They remain in suspension during
agitation and pumping, and the slurry does not dewater when doing hose work. The green color allows
the operator to apply an even application of material over the soil surface. The green dye added to the
fiber during manufacture is non-toxic.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Made from specially selected, clean, wood chips.
Fiber stays in uniform suspension and blends with seed and fertilizer.
Goes into slurry quickly.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
RAINIER SUPREME is manufactured to specific fiber sizes in a controlled environment to provide best
job-site performance. Specially selected wood chips are softened by high temperature 177C (350F)
steam, and the thermo-mechanical refining process produces extra long, soft, woolly fibers. The fibers
have physical features that tend to intertwine with each other, thus forming a more protective blanket.

RAINIER SUPREME is compressed and sealed in heavy duty plastic bags that have a UV inhibitor.
Each bag weighs 50 lbs. (22.7 kg) nominal and measures 10 x 19 x 29 inches. There are 40 bags per
pallet which makes into a tight, stretch-wrapped unit.

APPLICATION
Recommended Rates: 3,000 to 3500 lbs/acre -- 2H: 1V slopes.
3,500 to 4,000 lbs/acre slopes steeper than 2H: 1V
depending on site conditions.

Apply the fiber to make a uniform mat. Green dye is added to help the applicator maintain uniform
coverage. The spraying should be done in two passes. Allow enough drying time between applications
so some dry spots are showing on the surface of the fiber. Spray from two directions to avoid light
coverage, or shadowing, on the back side of ridges and depressions. Application should be made
sufficiently in advance of rainfall to allow a short drying time.

Fiber Reinforced Matrix
For Hydraulic Applications
Flex Guard is a Fiber Reinforced Matrix* (FRM)
hydromulch engineered with pasteurized wood
fibers, dispersible synthetic fibers and exclusive soil-
bonding agents for immediate and effective erosion
protection on challenging terrain even during hard
rains. The nontoxic formula maintains fiber loft for
impact resistance, air circulation and moisture
retention that promotes seed germination and plant
growth. Flex Guard maximizes the time savings and
cost efficiencies of hydraulic application, and delivers
dependable results from the start.
Reliable Features Reduce Overall Costs
No Cure Time Required
Phase II compliant Flex Guard adheres to soil
immediately, creating an instant stability barrier
from pounding rain.
Superb Application Versatility
Flex Guard conforms and securely bonds to
virtually all slopes and soil types, even where
most erosion control products can be difficult or
impossible to install.
Loft Integrity For Optimal
Germination
Long wood fibers interlock with synthetic
connectors and proprietary binding agents to
form lofted moisture chambers for increased
seed germination.
Nontoxic Biodegradable
Flex Guards non-staining and nontoxic green mat
prevents soil erosion without the hazards of
staples or netting. Completely biodegradable, it
enriches the soil over time.
Flex Guard Prevents Soil Loss Immediately
Flex Guard instantly prevents soil loss and promotes plant
growth on challenging sites. Its proven formula reduces
sediment loss better than most erosion control products.
The remarkable wet strength absorbs raindrop impact from
the start, and Flex Guard increases its performance power
as its cures.
Flex Guard prevents nearly 100 times less soil loss per acre
than untreated bare soil. And when you need the ultimate
protection, you can combine Flex Guard with mechanical
options. Flex Guard helps you leverage the speed and cost-
efficiency of hydraulic application for dependable results.
Fast Effective Performance
Research shows that Flex Guard performs regardless of the
application conditions. Wet, bare soil or thunderstorms in
the forecast won't slow your schedule. You save time by
skipping over the tedious soil preparation steps other
methods require.
Flex Guard delivers immediate stabilizing results even
without cure time and performs as well as the alternatives.
Tests independently conducted at the Soil Erosion Research
Laboratory at San Diego State University (1) revealed that
Flex Guard reduced both: total sediment export by 99% and
peak sediment concentrations by 96%.
Structured To Promote Germination
As a Fiber Reinforced Matrix, Flex Guard chemically bonds
with soil and forms a strongly lofted but porous fiber mat
made of countless growth chambers. Grass and other select
seeds access air and moisture from inside the chambers.
The high-tensile chamber structures resist impact damage,
guarding the emerging plants. Vegetation easily penetrates
the growth matrix to quickly enhance the project's visual
appeal. And that makes you look good, too.
Fully Nontoxic and Biodegradable
Flex Guard is completely biodegradable and non-toxic. The
specially formulated material won't harm the environment or
wildlife; it actually enriches the soil as it degrades, leaving no
residue. Flex Guard is a responsible and cost-effective
choice for residential, commercial, wildlife, wetland or other
environmentally sensitive applications.
Flex Guard is green but can be ordered in the color yellow by special request.

INOCULANTS
Speed the Recovery of
Disturbed and Burned Areas

Mycorrhizal fungi are naturally occurring organisms that form symbiotic

relationships with nearly all plants including grasses, forbs, shrubs and trees.
They function as a collection system for their host plants, accessing moisture
and nutrients up to 50 times more efficiently than non mycorrhizal plants.

More Efficient Use

of Soil Nutrient Resources
Seeds inoculated with AM 120
Mycorrhizal Inoculant establish strong
healthy roots systems much quicker
than non inoculated seed. Mycorrhizal
fungi develop complex webs known as
"Hyphae" throughout the soil far
beyond the reach of the plants roots.
They release enzymes and chelating
agents that convert immobile
nutrients into available plant food.
Greater capture of many nutrients and
increased leaf chlorophyll are some of
the well documented effects of
Mycorrhizae.

North Americas largest producer of premium Mycorrhizal Inoculant Reforestation Technologies International
GLOMALIN A natural soil glue produced by
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF)
Discovered by NRCS soil scientists in 1996,
Glomalin was noted by two characteristics.
The first was the apparent abundance of this
material that was produced by AMF and the
second was the "toughness" of its molecular
structure. It was observed that higher levels of
Glomalin improved water infiltration,
increased soil permeability to air, promoted
greater root development, higher microbial
activity and greater resistance to surface
sealing (crusts) and erosion (wind/water).
Carbon Sequestration
Mycorrhizal fungi produce miles of filament
or hyphae throughout the soil to transport
moisture and nutrients back to their host
are the thread-like filaments. The green coating on hyphae
is Glomalin.

upon plants to supply them with their primary
food source of carbohydrates. It is estimated
that the amount of carbon filtered from the
atmosphere is increased by over 40% or several
hundred tons per acre when a fully functioning
mycorrhizal network is in place.
Burned Area Revegetation; Does it Need
Mycorrhizal fungi?
Wildfires have historically played a necessary
function in many ecosystems; converting dry
vegetation into available nutrients and
allowing a healthy rebirth of plant species to
occur.
With the intervention of highly effective fire
suppression technology, many of these fire
dependent sites have been protected for
unnatural periods of time. This allows fire fuel
to build and when fire occurs, temperatures
from the fires are much higher, impacting a
greater amount of damage to the flora and
fauna.
Whether a "Mycorrhizal Inoculant" should be
used can be generally determined by an
assessment of the temperatures that occurred
on the site. If soil temperatures exceeded 1400
F throughout the rootzone, both the seed bank
and the mycorrhizal component will be
affected. If temperatures ran cooler during the
burn, allowing plants to re-sprout and seeds to
germinate, the presence of adequate levels of
mycorrhizae are likely to remain in the soil.

Exposure to precipitation rapidly destroyed all

Drought Protection
Mycorrhizal Hyphae are five times smaller than the tiniest root hairs;
allowing them to enter very tiny spaces within the soil. They also have
a much larger surface area than non-inoculated roots, providing greater
moisture absorption from the same amount of soil.

Weed Suppression
As well colonized ecosystems become self-sustaining, the more efficient
uptake of plant nutrients and moisture by mycorrhizal plants can
reduce the presence of less efficient non-Mycorrhizal ruderals.

Improved Soil Structure

Glomalin is a recently discovered glue like compound that is excreted by
mycorrhizal fungi throughout the root zone. It binds soil particles and
improves aggregation, allowing much greater absorption of
precipitation and reducing the potential effects of soil erosion.

Conclusion:
Reseeding with AM 120 is a sound management decision to increase
native vegetation cover and help protect natural ecosystems.
