Mitigation Measure 4.4-3a: Debris catchment walls shall be constructed along the rear sides of the <br /> building pads on Lots 14, 15, and 22 through 25 where they border adjacent slopes. The walls shall be a <br /> minimum of 5 feet high and designed in accordance with the recommendations of the geotechnical <br /> exploration in regards to retaining walls. Walls may not be required if pad grading provides sufficient <br /> space via rear yard slopes or retaining walls. The final design of the walls or catchment area shall be <br /> reviewed by ENGEO when the detailed project plans are prepared. Proper access to the catchment areas <br /> shall be provided and all debris catchment walls or designated catchment areas shall be periodically <br /> maintained by removing and disposing of accumulated slope detritus. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.4-3b: Debris catchment measures shall be constructed along Lots 5 and 25 which <br /> are located at the mouths of existing drainage courses. The catchment measures shall include a minimum <br /> 5-foot berm placed across the mouth of the drainage with clog-resistant surface drainage inlets provided. <br /> The final dimensions, placement, and design shall be determined in the detailed project plans. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.4-3c: The fmal corrective grading plans shall show detailed locations of keyways, <br /> subdrains, debris benches,and subexcavation areas. The sequence of grading issues, such as placement of <br /> various cut materials in specific locations, should also be evaluated during review of the final 40-scale <br /> grading plans. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.4-3d: The Geotechnical Engineer or qualified representative should be present <br /> during all phases of grading operations to observe demolition, site preparation, grading operations, and <br /> subdrain placement. After grading operations commence, geologic observations of cut areas should be <br /> made at frequent intervals so that revised geologic recommendations can be incorporated into updated <br /> grading plans as grading proceeds. During slope grading, all cut slopes should be viewed by the <br /> Engineering Geologist for adverse bedding, seepage, or bedrock conditions that may affect slope stability. <br /> In the event that adverse conditions are identified, overexcavation and reconstruction of the slopes may be <br /> required. Track rolling to compact slope faces is not sufficient. All fill slopes should be overbuilt at least <br /> two feet and cut back to design grades. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.4-3e: Keyways equipped with a subsurface drainage system shall be constructed. <br /> Each keyway shall be keyed into firm natural materials unaffected by shrinkage cracks. The keyway shall <br /> be filled with materials derived from the Livermore Gravels compacted to 95 percent relative compaction <br /> for non-expansive materials and 90 percent relative compaction for expansive materials. The required <br /> depth of the keyways shall be determined in the field by the geotechnical engineer during grading. Fill <br /> above the keyways shall be benched into firm, competent soil or bedrock and drained as appropriate. <br /> Unless otherwise recommended by the Geotechnical Engineer, benches shall be constructed at vertical <br /> intervals of not less than five feet. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.4-3f: Subsurface drainage systems should be installed in all key ways, swales or <br /> natural drainage areas, and landslide removal areas in accordance with the recommendations of the <br /> geotechnical exploration. Depending on the actual conditions encountered during grading, similar <br /> subsurface drainage facilities may be recommended within existing stock ponds, springs, low-lying areas, <br /> or at lots where wet conditions are encountered during excavation. In addition,new sources of seepage <br /> may be created by a combination of modified topography, future irrigation practices, and potential utility <br /> leakage. If discovered,these conditions should be brought to the attention of the Geotechnical Engineer <br /> so that remedial actions may be initiated, if necessary. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.4-3g: Structural retaining walls shall be constructed in accordance with the <br /> recommendations of the geotechnical exploration and provided with drainage facilities to prevent the <br /> buildup of hydrostatic pressures behind the walls. <br /> LUND RANCH II(PUD-25)RESIDENTIAL PROJECT 1 1 FINDINGS <br />
