1.09 SUBSTITUTIONS 

A. In specifying materials, three general procedures are used. The three classifications are as follows: 

Group 1: 

Materials or equipment without the phrase "or equal." When material or equipment is specified by one or 

more brand names, the Contractor shall base his proposal on the cost of the brand name, or of one of the 

brand names listed. No substitutions for that item will be considered during the bidding period, but the 

Architect may, after the Contractor has been selected, accept a substitution at his discretion on the basis of 

further consideration of all factors, including a different cost to the Owner, if any. 

Group 2: 

When the material or equipment is specified with the phrase "...or equal..." after a brand name and with 

other identifying information, it is intended that the brand name is used for the quality and performance 

and the Contractor may base his bid proposal on any item which is in all respects equal to that specified 

and presents essentially the same appearance and functional performance. 

Group 3: 

When material is specified as complying with the requirements of published "Standard Specifications" of 

trade associations, ASTM, government specifications, etc., the Contractor shall base his proposal on any 

item which can be shown to comply in all respects to the referenced "Standard Specifications". 

B. For materials or equipment in any of the above described three groups, it is the responsibility of the Contractor 

to furnish evidence of compliance with required standards in the form of engineering data or calculation; 

results of tests conducted by independent testing laboratories; experience records of the material or equipment 

used under conditions similar to that proposed in the project; or any other means required by the Architect to 

establish the fact that proposed item is equal to that specified. The furnishing of all such data will be at the 

expense of the Contractor and without additional cost to Owner. 

C. It is distinctly understood: (1) that the Architect will use his own judgment in determining whether or not any 

materials, equipment or methods offered in substitution are equal to those specified; (2) that the decision of the 

Architect on all such questions of equality is final; (3) that all substitutions will be made at no increase in cost 

to the Owner; and (4) that Contractor shall state any decrease in contract amount of any proposed substitution 

where applicable. 

D. Upon receipt of written approval from Architect, Contractor may proceed with substitution providing 

Contractor assumes full responsibility for and makes, at his own expense, any change or adjustment in 

construction or connection with other work that may be required by the substitution of such materials, 

equipment or methods. In the event of any adverse decision by the Architect, no claim of any sort shall be 

made or allowed against Architect or Owner.

E. See also Section 01600 paragraph 1.06 for substitution procedures after the Contract is awarded. 


Page 3

increase in the Contract Time due to inclement weather (including, without limitation any extension in the 

Contract Time for purposes of calculating liquidated damages under Paragraph 3.3 of the Standard Form of 

Agreement Between Owner and Contractor) may be made until _______________ (__) days have occurred in

of inclement weather. Provided however, within thirty (30) days of execution of this Agreement, Contractor 

shall provide for Owner’s reasonable approval a month-by-month allocation of the Assumed Inclement 

Weather Days. Owner and Contractor shall make good faith efforts to reach an agreement on such allocation 

and in the event of such agreement, extensions of time in accordance with Paragraph 8.3.1 for inclement 

weather will be allowed only if, during any month, inclement weather causes a delay in the Critical Path of the 

Project Schedule in excess of the number of days allocated for that month.

incurred on account thereof;

damage and any expenses suffered or incurred on account thereof;

case the Owner may withhold one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the estimated cost and related 

expenses as a reasonable value to correct such failure or reasonable expenses incurred thereof.

removed, Owner shall pay to Contractor the amount withheld because of such grounds, less any damages in resulting 

expenses actually sustained by Owner as a result of the grounds for the withholding, the cost of the withholding, or 

removal of the cause of the withholding.”

subcontractors or materialmen who have provided labor, equipment, and/or material to the Work, filed a notice and/or 

have notified the Contractor of a Claim or Lien or Stop Notice. Acceptance of the Work or a portion thereof will be at

criteria of acceptance given on the Commissioning Plan. 

C. Test Methods 

1. Functional performance testing and verification will typically follow industry standards. The 

BECA will determine which method is most appropriate for tests and modify test methods 

when an existing industry method is not available or applicable. 

2. Simulated Conditions: Simulating conditions may be allowed at the direction of the BECA, 

though testing actual conditions is encouraged wherever practical. 

D. Coordination and Scheduling: The Contractors and their subcontractors shall provide sufficient 

notice to the BECA regarding their completion schedule for the functional checklists and 

construction of the assemblies or building enclosure systems. The BECA will schedule functional 

tests through the GC and affected subcontractors. All functional testing of all building enclosure 

assemblies or building enclosure systems shall be performed by the BECA or a qualified BETA. 

E. In general, functional testing is conducted after mock-up testing has been satisfactorily completed. 

F. Problem Solving: The BECA may recommend solutions to problems found; however, the burden 

of responsibility to solve, correct, and retest problems is with the GC, subcontractors and their 

sub-subcontractors, and A/E. 

G. Failed tests will typically result in additional testing of the failed specimen and an additional 

specimen at the cost of the GC. Test will be concluded only when satisfactory results are 

achieved. 

H. Non-conformance 

1. The BECA will record the results of the functional tests in a written report. All deficiencies 

or non-conformance issues shall be noted and reported. 

2. Corrections of minor deficiencies identified may be made during the tests at the discretion of 

the BECA. In such cases, the deficiency and resolution will be documented in the written 

report. 

3. If at any point frequent failures are occurring and testing is becoming more troubleshooting 

than verification, the BECA may stop the testing and require the responsible subcontractor to 

perform and document a checkout of the remaining units prior to continuing with functionally 

testing the remaining units. 

4. Every effort will be made to expedite the testing process and minimize unnecessary delays, 

while not compromising the integrity of the procedures; however, the BECA will not be 


#165582


Section 01811 

Page 5 

pressured into overlooking deficient Work or loosening acceptance criteria to satisfy 

scheduling or cost issues. 

5. As tests progress and a deficiency is identified, the BECA discusses the issue with the 

executing Contractor. 

a) When there is no dispute on the deficiency and the subcontractor accepts responsibility to 

correct it: 

1. The BECA documents the deficiency and the subcontractor’s response and 

intentions and they go onto another test. 

2. The BECA will coordinate the rescheduled test with the affected Contractor, and 

the test is repeated. 

b) If there is a dispute about a deficiency, regarding whether it is a deficiency or who is 

responsible: 

1. The deficiency shall be documented on the non-compliance form with the 

subcontractor’s response and a copy given to the Contractor and to the 

subcontractor’s representative assumed to be responsible. 

2. Resolutions are made at the lowest management level possible. Other parties are 

brought into the discussions as needed. Interpretive authority is with the A/E. 

Final acceptance authority is with the PM. 

3. The BECA documents the resolution process. 

4. Once the interpretation and resolution have been decided, the appropriate party 

corrects the deficiency, signs the statement of correction on the non-compliance 

form, and provides it to the BECA. The BECA reschedules the test (and any 

additional population to be tested) with the affected Contractors, and the test(s) are 

repeated until satisfactory performance is achieved. 

5. Any required retesting that is a result of deficient installation shall not be 

considered a justified reason for a claim of delay or for a time extension by the 

Contractor.

3.01 GENERAL PREPARATION 

A. Obtain Owner's concurrence for proposed methods of operations and procedure prior to starting work. 

Execute work in manner to prevent damage, from any cause, to adjacent streets, buildings, utilities and similar 

properties. Full responsibility for repairs and replacement rests with Contractor. Extra payment will not be 

authorized for work that could have been foreseen by a careful examination of the site. 

B. Notify respective utility companies of any damage caused to active utilities and protect active utilities pending 

instruction for disposition. 

C. During geotechnical investigation borings, groundwater was encountered at elevations -6.0 to +11.0 feet. 

Grading near or below these levels and any utilities below these elevations could encounter groundwater and/or 

localized seepage zones. Mass grading and underground contractor to be made aware of these conditions so 

that appropriate dewatering methods can be employed. 

3.02 EXCAVATION 

A. Excavation consists of the removal and disposal of material encountered when establishing the required grade 

elevations under and adjacent to structures. In areas where deciduous trees are present, major root bulbs to be 

removed. 


#165582

Section 02200 

Page 3 

B. In areas where buildings are proposed the existing fill soils to be over-excavated to undisturbed native ground 

as observed and approved by the construction Soil Engineer. It is expected that excavations to elevations 

ranging from +1 to +5 feet should be expected resulting in over-excavation depths of 5 to 11 feet (not 

including existing stockpiles). 

C. Excavations to extend a minimum of 5 feet laterally beyond the building footprint and the area replaced with 

engineered fill as noted below. 

D. In other areas (non-building or parking lots), the upper 3 feet (minimum) of the subgrade to consist of 

engineered fill. Where over-excavation is required (north half of the site), the area should be excavated to a 

depth of 2 feet, the bottom 12 inches scarified and compacted in-place, and replaced with engineered fill. The 

south half of the site will require more than 3 feet of fill to achieve the design grades and over-excavation is 

not expected to be needed. 

E. The existing stockpiles which cover a portion of the site must be removed. After removal of existing 

stockpiles, the surface of the areas to be graded will require stripping to remove vegetation and/or other 

deleterious materials. It is estimated that stripping depths of about 1 to 2 inches may be necessary; however, 

the actual depth of stripping to be determined in the field by the construction Soil Engineer. Stripped material 

from the site may not be used as engineered fill, but may be stockpiled and used later for landscaping purposes. 

F. As part of this project, the roadway Hartle Court (old) is to be demolished. Road improvements (including 

curb/gutter/sidewalk) and any utilities which will not remain in service must be demolished and removed from 

the site. The exception is that the aggregate base, asphalt concrete and Portland cement concrete may be 

crushed and used on the site as general fill. 

G. Any conflicting utilities which run through the site must be abandoned and/or relocated. 

H. Satisfactory materials acceptable for filling and backfilling work may be temporarily stockpiled on site. 

I. Make excavations large enough to permit placing and removal of shoring, forms, and for inspection of the 

work. 

J. Excavation for Structures: 

1. Level bottoms of trenches reasonably level. Change elevation at right-angled steps with forms or 

bulkheads. Step trenches in 8-inch maximum depth and 24-inch minimum length increments. 

2. Fill excess depth in trench excavations with concrete. Form excess width in size, or fill with concrete. 

3. Surfaces of excavations shall be within one inch per foot and any excessive depth in excavations shall be 

filled with lean concrete. 

K. Remove all excess excavated material from the job site. 

3.03 BACKFILLING 

A. Backfilling includes filling and compaction beneath slabs and structural concrete; against and around concrete 

foundation walls after forms have been removed and foundation inspection completed. 

B. Native clay soil subgrade may be soft, wet and unstable making placement of fill with conventional 

earthmoving equipment difficult. A stabilization layer of fill maybe required at the bottom of the excavations. 

Stabilization layer to consist of Tensar BX1200 (or approved equivalent) geogrid overlain by an 18 inch thick 

layer of 6 inch minus crushed rock overlain by Mirafi 600x (or approved equivalent) geotextile followed by 

engineering fill placement. The requirement for stabilization and the method may be modified in the field by 

the construction Soil Engineer. 

C. Do not start backfilling operations until foundation drainage system and waterproofing have been reviewed and 

tested. 

D. After stripping and over-excavation of existing firm and loose fills, and prior to any additional fill placement, 

the upper 12 inches should be scarified, moisture conditioned as necessary and compacted to a minimum 

degree of relative compaction of 90% at 2 or more percent above optimum moisture content as determined by 

ASTM D1557 Laboratory Test Procedure. Mitigation of wet/unstable soils is discussed above. 

E. Just prior to placement of select fill, all traces of organic, loose or obviously compressible material must be 

removed. 

F. Ensure areas are free from debris, snow, ice and water, and that ground surfaces are not in frozen condition. 

G. Backfill areas to grades, contours, levels, and elevations indicated. 

H. Backfill systematically and as early as possible to allow maximum time for natural settlement and compaction. 


#165582

Section 02200 

Page 4 

I. Place engineered fill materials in loose lifts of 8 inches and uniformly compact. Use a method so as not to 

disturb or damage building drainage systems and waterproofing systems. 

J. Engineered fill to be compacted to a minimum relative compation of 90% at 2 or more percent above optimum 

moisture content as determined by ASTM D1557 Laboratory Test Procedure. 

K. Prior to compaction, each layer to be spread evenly and thoroughly blade mixed during the spreading to obtain 

uniformity of material in each layer. Fill to be brought to a water content that will permit proper compaction 

by either (a) aerating the material if it is too wet, or (b) spraying the material with water if it is too dry. 

Compaction to be performed by footed rollers or other types of approved compaction equipment and methods. 

Compaction equipment to be of such deisng that they will be able to compact the fill to specified density. 

Rolling of each layer to be continuous over its entire area and the equipment to make sufficient trips to ensure 

the required density has been obtained. No ponding or jetting is permitted. When footed rollers are used for 

compaction, the density and moisture tests shall be taken in the compacted material below the surface disturded 

by the roller. 

L. Where temporary unbalanced pressures are liable to develop on walls before floor slabs are placed, erect 

necessary shoring to counteract imbalance. 

M. At below grade concrete walls, a drainage filter blanket should be placed behind the wall. See geotechnical 

report for additional information regarding specifications for drainage filter blanket. 

N. Utility trenches extending underneath all traffic areas must be backfilled with native or approved import 

material and compacted to relative compaction of 90% to within 6 inches of the subgrade. The upper 6 inches 

to be compacted to 95% relative compaction in accordance with Laboratory Test Procedure ASTM D1557.

A. General: 

1. Grade under slabs on fill to the elevations shown on the Drawings. 

2. Soft and unstable materials which will not readily compact when rolled or tamped shall be removed and 

the resulting depression filled with stable material, rolled until firm. 

3. Fine grade to the elevations shown on the Drawings. 

4. At intermediate points for which finish grades are not indicated, the finish grade shall be of uniform level 

or slope between points for which elevations are given. 

5. Any abrupt changes in level shall be rounded. 

6. Finish points shall slope away from buildings in all directions to assure positive drainage. 

7. General grading shall be done with a road or motor grader in such a manner as to result in a generally 

smooth surface free of rocks, trash, and other debris required to be removed from the site. 

B. Grading outside building lines: 

1. Grade areas adjacent to buildings to achieve drainage away from the structures, and to prevent ponding. 

2. Finish the surfaces to be free from irregular surface changes and shape the surface of areas under walks to 

line grade and cross-section, with finished surface not more than 0.10 ft. above or below the required 

subgrade elevation.

1. All areas to receive slabs to be wetted to seal any desiccation or shrinkage cracks prior to placing the 

underslab components. This work to be done under the observation of the construction Soil Engineer. 

2. Grade areas under the building to allow for a 4” layer of ¾” Caltrans Class II aggregate base under the 

slabs on grade. 

3.05 WATER CONTROL 

A. Where subgrade or layer of soil material must be moisture-conditioned before compacting, uniformly apply 

water to surface of subgrade or layer of soil material to prevent free water appearing on surface during or 

subsequent to compacting operations. 


#165582

Section 02200 

Page 5 

B. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is too wet to permit compacting to the specified 

density. 

C. Soil material that has been removed because it is too wet to permit compacting may be stockpiled or spread

within any particular area. 

C. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed surfaces or conditions 

otherwise detrimental to formation of a durable paint film. 

3.02 SURFACE PREPARATION 

A. General: Perform preparation and cleaning procedures in accordance with paint manufacturer’s 

instructions and as herein specified for each particular substrate condition. 

1. Remove hardware, hardware accessories, machined surfaces, plates, 

lighting fixtures and similar items in place and not to be finish painted, or 

provide surface applied protection prior to surface preparation and painting 

operations. Remove, if necessary, for complete painting of items and 

adjacent surfaces. Following completion of painting of each space or area, 

reinstall removed items. 

2. Clean surfaces to be painted before applying paint or surface treatments. 

Remove oil and grease prior to mechanical cleaning. Program cleaning and 

painting so that contaminants from cleaning process will not fall onto wet, 

newly painted surfaces. 

3. Wash all existing surfaces with solution of trisodium phosphate or equal 

cleaner, followed by a wash with clear water. 

B. Cementitious Materials 

1. Prepare cementitious surfaces of concrete and concrete block to be painted by removing 

efflorescence, chalk, dust, dirt, grease, oils and by roughening as required to remove glaze. 

2. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces to be painted by 

performing appropriate tests. If surfaces are found to be sufficiently 

alkaline to cause blistering and burning of finish paint, correct this condition 

before application of paint. Do not paint over surfaces where moisture 

content exceeds that permitted in manufacturer’s printed directions. 

3. Clean concrete floor surfaces scheduled to be painted with a commercial 

solution of muriatic acid or other etching cleaner. Flush floor with clean 

water to neutralize acid, and allow to dry before painting. Follow 

manufacturer’s preparation instructions for surfaces if different from above. 

C. Wood: Clean wood surfaces to be painted of dirt, oil or other foreign substances with scrapers, mineral 

spirits and sandpaper as required. Sandpaper smooth those finished surfaces exposed to view and dust off. 

Scrape and clean small, dry seasoned knots, and apply a thin coat of white shellac or other recommended knot 

sealer before application of priming coat. After priming, fill holes and imperfections in finished surfaces 

with putty or plastic wood filler. Sandpaper smooth when dried. 

1. Prime, stain or seal wood required to be job painted immediately upon 

delivery to job. Prime, stain or seal edges, ends, faces, undersides and 

backsides of such wood, including cabinets, counters, cases and paneling. 

2. When transparent finish is required, use finish similar to finish coat for 

backpriming. 

3. Backprime paneling on interior partitions only where masonry, plaster or 

other wet wall construction occurs on backside. 

4. Seal tops, bottoms and cut-outs of unprimed wood doors with a heavy coat 

of varnish or equivalent sealed immediately upon delivery to job. 

5. Existing wood to be refinished shall be fully stripped of existing finishes. (Bennington)

used in storage, mixing and application of paint in a clean condition, free of foreign 

materials and residue. Maintain limited storage quantities as acceptable to the Fire 

Department. 

C. Stir materials before application to produce a mixture of uniform density, and stir as 

required during application. Do not stir surface film into material. Remove film, 

and if necessary, strain material before using. 


A. General: Apply paint in accordance with manufacturer’s directions. Use applicators and techniques best 

suited for substrate and type of material being applied. 

1. Apply additional coats when undercoats, stains or other conditions show 

through final coat of paint, until paint film is of uniform finish, color and 

appearance. Give special attention to ensure that surfaces, including edges, 

corners, crevices, weld and exposed fasteners receive a dry film thickness 

equivalent to that of flat surfaces. 

2. Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture same as similar exposed surfaces. Paint 

surfaces behind permanently fixed equipment or furniture with prime coat only before final 

installation of equipment. 

3. Finish exterior doors on tops, bottoms and side edges same as exterior faces unless otherwise 

indicated. 

4. Sand lightly between each succeeding enamel coat. 

6. Omit first coat (primer) on metal surfaces which have been shop primed and 

touch-up painted unless otherwise indicated. 

B. Scheduling Painting: Apply first coat material to surfaces that have been cleaned, pretreated or otherwise 

prepared for painting as soon as practicable after preparation and before subsequent surface deterioration. 

1. Allow sufficient time between successive coatings to permit proper drying. 

Do not recoat until paint has dried to where it feels firm, does not deform or 

feel sticky under moderate thumb pressure, and application of another coat 

of paint does not cause lifting or loss of adhesion of the undercoat. 

C. Minimum Coating Thickness: Apply materials at not less than manufacturer’s recommended spreading 

rate to establish a total dry film thickness as recommended by coating manufacturer. 

D. Structural Steel : Wash all surfaces with degreasing solution to remove oil and clean per SSPC-SP3. 

E. Mechanical and Electrical Work: Painting of mechanical and electrical work is limited to those items 

exposed in occupied spaces. 

F. Prime Coats: Apply prime coat of material which is required to be painted or finished, and which has 

not been prime coated by others. 

1. Recoat primed and sealed surfaces where there is evidence of suction spots or unsealed areas in first 

coat, to assure a finish coat with no burn-through or other defects due to insufficient sealing. 

G. Pigmented (Opaque) Finishes: Completely cover to provide an opaque, smooth surface of uniform 

finish, color, appearance and coverage. Cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps, brush marks, runs, sags, ropiness or 

other surface imperfections will not be acceptable. 


#165582

SECTION 15000 

MECHANICAL GENERAL CONDITIONS 

A. The General Conditions, and other pertinent documents issued by the Architect are a part of these 

specifications and shall be complied with in every respect; certain paragraphs included in this section 

are supplemental to similar paragraphs in the above documents and are not intended to supersede 

those paragraphs. 

B. Each Subcontractor shall be responsible for reading all sections of the specifications and reviewing all 

drawings in order to understand thoroughly the nature of the entire project, the requirements for 

coordination among the several trades, and items in other sections which apply to mechanical and 

electrical work. 

1.02 CONTRACT DOCUMENTS 

A. All contract documents are on file in the Architect's office and shall be inspected by all bidders. 

B. The scale of each drawing is relatively accurate, but the Contractor is warned to obtain the necessary 

dimensions for any exact takeoffs from the Architect. No additional cost to the Owner will be 

considered for failure to obtain exact dimensions where not clear or in error on the drawings. Any 

device or fixture roughed in improperly and not positioned on implied centerlines or as required by 

good practice must be repositioned at no cost to the Owner. 

C. The mechanical and electrical drawings and specifications are intended to be used together as 

construction documents forming an integral part of the contract documents. They are intended to 

define, not limit the required construction and delivery to the Owner of complete systems, in perfect 

operating condition. Special items required may be shown or mentioned in either the drawings or the 

specifications, or both; however, it is the intent of the Contract that these systems shall be constructed 

completely and correctly and shall include all elements necessary to this end. 

D. The drawings are generally diagrammatic and the Contractor shall coordinate the work so that any 

interference is avoided and the Codes are satisfied. Provide all necessary offsets in piping, fittings, 

etc., required to properly install the work. Exposed work must be kept as close as possible to walls, 

ceilings, columns, etc., so as to take up the minimum amount of space; all offsets, fittings, etc., 

required shall be provided without additional expense to the Owner. 

E. Offsets, transitions and changes in direction in pipe and ducts shall be made as required to maintain 

proper headroom and pitch of graded lines. Provide all necessary traps, air vents, sanitary vents, 

etc., required as a result of these offsets, transitions and changes in direction. 

F. Symbols for various elements and systems are shown on the drawings. Should there be any doubt 

regarding the meaning or intent of the symbols used, an interpretation shall be obtained from the 

Architect. The decision of the Architect shall be final. 

G. It shall be the responsibility of each Contractor to examine the Contract Documents carefully before 

submitting his bid, with particular attention to errors, omissions, conflicts with provisions of laws and 

codes having jurisdiction, conflicts between drawings or drawings and specifications, and ambiguous 

definition of the extent of coverage between Contracts. Any such discrepancy shall be brought 

immediately to the attention of the Architect for correction. Change Orders will only be accepted for 

changes in scope. A “change in scope” is defined as work other than what was shown or intended. 

Costs for Change Orders will be reviewed and processed based on the standard labor rates for the 

area (either Union or non-Union) and these cost rates shall take precedence over any other 

contractual or agreed upon rates. All Change Order work shall be executed on a straight time basis 

(as opposed to overtime or premium time) unless specifically authorized in writing prior to the start of 

the work. 

H. Should any of these errors, omissions, conflicts, or ambiguities exist, the Contractor shall have them 

explained and adjusted in writing before signing the Contract or proceeding with the work; otherwise, 

he shall, at his own expense, supply the proper materials and labor to make good any damage or 

defects in his work or the results obtained therefrom, caused by such discrepancy. 

I. Wherever conflicts occur between different parts of the Contract Documents, the greater quantity, the 

better quality, or larger size shall prevail unless the Architect informs the Contractor otherwise in 

writing.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION 

Purpose and Scope 

The purpose of this geotechnical investigation report for the proposed South River Place Phase 1 

development located on Gasser Drive and Hartle Court in Napa, California, was to determine the 

surface and subsurface soil conditions at the subject site. Based on the results of the 

investigation, geotechnical criteria were established for the grading of the site, the design of 

foundations, pavement sections and the construction of other related facilities on the property. 

In accordance with our proposal dated 11 October 2010, our services included the following 

tasks: 

a. A review of available geotechnical and geologic literature concerning the site and 

vicinity, including the original Geotechnical Investigation Report by our firm 

dated 12 July 2002 and subsequent investigation by our firm in September 2009; 

b. Site reconnaissance by our Geotechnical Engineers to observe and map the 

existing surface conditions; 

c. Drilling of 7 exploratory borings to depths of 28.5 to 50 feet and sampling of the 

subsurface soils; 

d. Laboratory testing of the samples obtained to determine their classification and 

engineering characteristics; 

e. Analysis of the data and formulation of conclusions and recommendations; and 

f. Preparation of this written report. 

Site Location and Description 

The subject site consists of two irregular-shaped parcels of land on the west side of Gasser Drive in 

the City of Napa, California as shown on Figures 1 and 2, Vicinity Map and Aerial Photo in 

Appendix A. The largest parcel is located northwest of the intersection of Imola Avenue and 

Gasser Drive. This main parcel is bounded by Gasser Drive on the east, Imola Avenue and 

retention ponds on the south, a Napa Sanitation District Corporation Yard on the west and Hartle 

Court (new) on the north. The smaller parcel is located north of Hartle Court (new), between the 

animal shelter and the transitional housing project. Immediately north of Hartle Court (new) is a 

fire station, homeless shelter and a transitional housing development which is currently under 

construction. Hartle Court (old) runs through the middle of the parcel. As part of the transitional 

housing project, Hartle Court (new) is being extended to connect to the western segment in front of 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

the animal shelter. Once this is complete, Hartle Court (old) will be abandoned. In addition to the 

road improvements through the site, there are several underground utilities along the road alignment 

and also along the western property boundary. 

With the exception of a stockpile noted below, the topography of the site is relatively flat to gently 

sloping with localized elevation differentials as shown on Figure 4, Site Plan. It is our 

understanding that the site was filled over the years since the early 1950’s with dredge materials 

from the nearby Napa River. The site is currently vacant (except for the street and utility 

improvements noted above) and appears to have never been developed. However, it is noted that 

subsequent to our original investigation in 2002, a soil stockpile was placed on the site between the 

two Hartle Courts. The stockpile materials were imported from the Imola Street Bridge 

embankment material. The stockpile has recently been added to with excess materials from the 

transitional housing project. The stockpile is approximately 465 feet long, 215 feet wide and up to 

15 feet high as shown on Figure 4. Based on testing performed by our firm, the soil materials 

consist of brown to dark brown, moderately expansive sandy clay 1 . The soil materials were 

determined to be acceptable for use as general fill on the Gasser site, but not under proposed 

building foundations where conventional footings are used. The materials were also determined to 

be environmentally acceptable for use on the site. A smaller pile of soil and debris is located 

adjacent to the ponds. Vegetation on the site consists of volunteer grasses and weeds with a few 

trees around the ponds. 

The above description is based on a reconnaissance of the site by a Geotechnical Engineer, on a 

Scheme 17 Site Plan by LPAS Architects dated 14 October 2010 overlaid onto topographic data 

from Foulk, Gomez and Associates, an aerial photo from Google Earth, and the USGS 

Topographic Map of the Napa Quadrangle as obtained from the 3D TopoQuads program by 

DeLorme. The Scheme 17 Site Plan and topographic data are the basis for our Site Plan included 

as Figure 4 in Appendix A. 

Proposed Development 

Based on our review of the referenced site plan, we understand that Phase I of the South River 

Place development includes a new Cinemark Theater building of approximately 41,700 square 

feet, and four additional commercial office, retail or restaurant buildings noted as Retail 1, Retail 

2, Pad 1 and Pad 2 ranging in size from 2,400 to 9,000 square feet. Additional improvements 

will consist of constructing a plaza area, driveways, landscaping, underground utilities, concrete 

flatwork, parking lots and widening of Hartle Court (new). In addition, an overflow parking lot 

will be constructed north of Hartle Court (new). 

1 Letter titled Import Fill Evaluation, prepared by KC Engineering Company, dated 8 March 2005. 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Based on our conversations with Mr. Don Harton of Cinemark, the theater building is anticipated 

to be constructed with masonry, concrete tilt-up panels and/or pre-cast exterior cladding. 

Structural steel columns and beams may also be utilized. Wall loads of 4 to 7 kips per square 

foot and column loads of 65 to 160 kips are anticipated. The interior slab floors of each 

auditorium will be placed at two elevations such that near the center of the building, the slabs 

will be at the same elevation of the lobby and then sloped down 3 to 5 feet along the exterior 

walls. 

The four additional structures are anticipated to one-story in height, except for Retail 2 which 

may be two-stories with retail below and office above. These structures will likely be 

constructed of conventional structural steel and wood framing and have slab-on-grade floors. 

Typical wall loads are anticipated. 

An asphalt concrete paved parking lot will be constructed on the southern end of the site and an 

additional parking lot will be added to the west of the transitional housing project. As noted 

above, Hartle Court will also be widened along the northern project frontage. Grading is 

expected to consist primarily of cuts and fills of up to 3 vertical feet or less, to achieve the design 

pad and subgrade levels, not including removal of the approximately 15-feet high stockpile. The 

exception is the southern portion between Hartle Court (old) and the pond which may require 

approximately 7 feet of fill to achieve the design grades. We understand that the existing 

stockpile and any other excess soil materials will be utilized as general fill to level the site. 

Previous Investigation 

We previously investigated the geotechnical conditions of the surface and subsurface soils of the 

entire Gasser South property and Supportive Housing Project, of which the subject site is part, 

and prepared the Reference 1 and 2 reports. We have included the Appendixes from the original 

(2002) and subsequent (2009) investigations within Appendix B and C of this report, 

respectively. Our original field investigation was performed on the 13 th and 14 th of May 2002 

and included a reconnaissance of the site and the drilling of 8 exploratory borings and the 

excavation of 14 test pits (See Appendix B for boring and test pit logs). Furthermore, the 

Supportive Housing field investigation was performed on 11 September 2009 and included a 

reconnaissance of the site and the drilling of 4 exploratory test borings (See Appendix C for 

boring logs). For informational purposes, we have shown the borings and test pits, on the new 

Site Plan, Figure 4 in Appendix A. 

Subsequent to our 2002 investigation, we performed laboratory testing on the imported stockpile 

materials discussed previously. Four samples were collected on 28 February 2005 from test pits 

at the Imola Bridge embankment. Environmental testing was performed by CLS Laboratories on 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

the samples for Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene (BTEX) using EPA Test Method 

8015M and for CAM 17 Metals. The test results indicate all constituents tested are either nondetect 

or are below the Not To Exceed Gasser Site Reuse Criteria. In addition, the four samples 

were transported to our laboratory for classification testing consisting of grain size analysis and 

Atterberg Limits. Based on our testing, the stockpile soils consist of brown to dark brown, 

moderately expansive sandy clay. 

Field Investigation 

Our recent field investigation was performed on 17 and 18 December 2010 and included a 

reconnaissance of the site and the drilling of 7 additional exploratory test borings at the 

approximate locations shown on Figure No. 4, “Site Plan” included in Appendix A. The boring 

logs include approximate elevations based on a FGA Preliminary Grading Plan. 

The borings were drilled to depths of 28.5 to 50 feet below the existing ground surface 

(including stockpile). The drilling was performed with truck-mounted Mobile B24 drill rig using 

power-driven, four-inch diameter, continuous flight augers. Visual classifications were made 

from the auger cuttings and the samples in the field. As the drilling proceeded, relatively 

undisturbed tube samples were obtained by driving a 2.5-inch O.D., California split-tube sampler, 

containing thin brass liners into the boring bottom. Disturbed samples were obtained by driving a 

2-inch O.D., split-barrel sampler into the boring bottom in accordance with ASTM D1586. The 

sampler was driven into the in-situ soils under the impact of a 140 pound hammer having a free fall 

of 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the sampler 12 inches into the soil were 

adjusted to the standard penetration resistance (N-Value). When the sampler was withdrawn from 

the boring bottom, the brass liners containing the relatively undisturbed samples were removed, 

examined for identification purposes, labeled and sealed to preserve the natural or in-situ moisture 

content. The samples were then transported to our laboratory for testing. Classifications made in 

the field were verified in the laboratory after further examination and testing. The stratification of 

the soils, descriptions, location of undisturbed soil samples and standard penetration resistance 

are shown on the respective “Logs of Test Borings” contained within Appendix A. 

Laboratory Investigation 

The laboratory testing program was directed towards providing sufficient information for the 

determination of the engineering characteristics of the site soils so that the recommendations 

outlined in this report could be formulated. The laboratory test results are presented on the 

respective “Logs of Test Borings” and data sheets in Appendix A. We have also reviewed the 

previous lab test results (included in Appendixes B and C) as part of this report.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Moisture content and dry density tests (ASTM D2937-94) were performed on representative 

relatively undisturbed soil samples in order to determine the consistency of the soil and the 

moisture variation throughout the explored soil profile. 

Ten sieve analysis tests (ASTM D422) and four Atterberg Limits tests (ASTM D4318) were 

performed on selected soil samples to assist in the identification and classification of the subsurface 

soils. In addition, the Atterberg Limits tests were used to estimate the expansion potential of the 

near surface soils. 

Two laboratory consolidation tests (ASTM D2435) were performed on samples of the underlying 

soil deposits to determine their compressibility. The results were used to estimate the potential 

settlement due to the proposed improvements. 

The strength parameters of the foundation soils were determined from four unconfined 

compression (ASTM D2166) and one direct shear (ASTM D3018) tests performed on selected 

relatively undisturbed soil samples. Standard field penetration resistances (N-Values) also assisted 

in the determination of strength and bearing capacity. The standard penetration resistance values 

are recorded on the respective “Logs of Test Borings”. 

Two bulk samples were also collected from the Retail 1 and 2 building pad areas and tested to 

evaluate the presence and concentration of water-soluble sulfate in accordance with California 

Test Method 417. These test results were used to identify the corrosion potential of the soils to 

at or below grade concrete. A discussion is presented in the foundation section of this report. 

Subsurface Soil Conditions 

Based on our field exploration and laboratory investigation, the surface and subsurface soil 

conditions are generally uniform across the site. As previously discussed, the central portion of 

the site between the two Hartle Courts, is covered with a variable-height stockpile of soil 

consisting of brown to red brown sandy clay extending to an elevation of approximately +15.0 to 

+28.5 feet. The soils below the stockpile generally consist of old dredge fill materials that 

extend down to an elevation of approximately +1.0 to +5.0 feet. The dredge fill material 

generally consists of loose to medium dense, fine to medium grained sands and stiff sandy clay 

and silt. Below the fill, the native materials consist of moderately to highly expansive, firm to 

very stiff, grey to grey/brown clay with variable amounts of sand to elevations of approximately 

-18 to -24 feet. The native clays are underlain by medium dense to very dense clayey gravel to 

gravelly sand. The laboratory test results indicate that the native clays encountered below the 

ground water level are over-consolidated to under-consolidated under the current loading 

conditions. 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

The groundwater conditions are highly variable at the site. Groundwater was encountered in the 

recent borings at elevations ranging from -6.0 to +11.5 feet at the time of drilling. Groundwater 

levels during previous investigations ranged from elevations of 0 to +9.0. Fluctuations in the 

groundwater table will likely occur with variations in seasonal rainfall and fluctuations in the 

nearby retention basin, and the Napa River. 

A more thorough description and stratification of the soils encountered along with the results of 

the recent laboratory tests are presented on the respective “Logs of Test Borings” in Appendix A. 

The approximate locations of the recent borings are shown on Figure 4, “Site Plan.” 

Site Geology 

According to the Geologic Map of the Napa 7.5’ Quadrangle 2 , a portion of which is included as 

Figure 3 in the Appendix, the geologic deposits underlying the site consist of Holocene-aged 

Stream terraces. These terraces were deposited as point bar and overbank deposits along the 

Napa River. The deposits are composed of moderately-sorted clayey sand and sandy clay with 

gravel. The subsurface deposits encountered during our investigation generally correlate with 

previous mapping. 

Geo-Hazards 

Seismicity 

The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone 3 . There are no known 

active or inactive faults crossing the site as mapped and/or recognized by the State of California. 

Earthquake related ground shaking should be expected during the design life of the structures at 

the site. The California Geological Survey (CGS) has defined an active fault as one that has had 

surface displacement in the last 11,000 years, or has experienced earthquakes in recorded history. 

Based on our review of the Fault Activity Map of California 4 and the USGS Fault Database 5 , the 

nearest active faults are the West Napa, Green Valley, Cordelia, Rodgers Creek and Hunting 

Creek-Berryessa, located approximately 1.4 miles west, 5.1 miles east, 7.0 miles east, 11.8 miles 

southwest and 17.3 miles northeast of the site, respectively.

Based on the Interactive Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Map on the CGS website 6 , the peak 

ground acceleration that has a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years (475 year return 

period) is 0.46g (alluvium). Using hazard deaggregation as performed on the US Geological 

Survey website, the peak ground acceleration that has a 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years 

(2475 year return period) is 0.74g (firm rock). The major contributing fault for the site is the 

West Napa Fault with a 64% contribution. The next highest individual fault contribution is from 

the Green Valley/Cordelia Fault Zones with a 23% contribution. All other faults contribute 

approximately 2% or less to the seismic contribution. 

Structures at the site should be designed to withstand the anticipated ground accelerations. Based 

on our review of published maps and the probabilistic ground motion parameters from the CGS 

website, the following 2007 California Building Code earthquake design criteria are applicable for 

the site: 

Site Class: D 

Design Spectral Response Accelerations: S DS = 1.12 g; S D1 = 0.60 g 

Fault Rupture 

The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Based on our review of 

geologic maps, no known active or inactive faults cross or project toward the subject site. In 

addition, no evidence of active faulting was visible on the site during our site reconnaissance. 

Therefore, it is our opinion that there is no potential for fault-related surface rupture at the 

subject site. 

Landslides 

The subject site and immediate vicinity is relatively flat and therefore not subject to seismicallyinduced 

landslide hazards. 

Liquefaction 

Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon in which loose and saturated cohesionless soils are subject to a 

temporary, but essentially total loss of shear strength, due to pore pressure build-up under the 

reversing cyclic shear stresses associated with earthquakes. Soils typically found most 

susceptible to liquefaction are saturated and loose, fine to medium grained sand having a uniform 

particle range and less than 5% fines passing the No. 200 sieve. However, fine-grained soils

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

with a liquid limit less than 37%, a plasticity index less than 12, and an in-situ moisture content 

that is greater than 0.85 times the liquid limit, are also vulnerable to liquefaction-like effects. 

According to Special Publication 117 by the Division of Mines and Geology, the assessment of 

hazards associated with potential liquefaction of soil deposits at a site must consider translational 

site instability (i.e. lateral spreading, etc.) and more localized hazards such as bearing failure and 

settlement. 

The data used for evaluating liquefaction potential of the subsurface soils consisted of the in-situ 

Standard Penetration Resistance values (N 1 ) 60 values, the unit weights, gradations, in-situ 

moisture contents, the groundwater level, and the location of the site to the nearest active fault 

and the predicted ground surface acceleration. The near surface fill materials consist of soft to 

stiff sandy clay, firm sandy silt, and loose to medium dense clayey and silty sands. The native 

soils below the fill consist predominately of stiff to very stiff sandy clay underlain by medium 

dense to very dense clayey and sandy gravel. However, discontinuous layers of clayey sand 

were encountered in Boring 3 between depths of 27 to 33 feet and in Boring 6 between depths of 

20 to 33 feet. The native clays beneath the site are generally considered to have a liquid limit 

greater than 37%, a plasticity index greater than 12 and an in-situ moisture content less than 0.85 

times the liquid limit. Therefore, the clayey soils that comprise a majority of the subsurface soils 

are not considered liquefiable. The medium dense to very dense gravels and sands encountered 

below the clays are sufficiently dense to preclude liquefaction. The discontinuous layers of 

medium dense native clayey sand encountered in Borings 3 and 6 have between 36.4 and 49.0 

percent fines. Due to the relative density and high fines content of these materials, it is our 

opinion that the liquefaction potential of the localized layers is low. 

However, loose to medium dense sand and firm silt layers were encountered in the fill in Borings 2 

through 5 that are either currently saturated or could potentially become saturated. A liquefaction 

analysis was performed using the recommended analysis methods of the NCEER report 7 . These 

layers were determined to be potentially liquefiable with factors of safety less than 1. The potential 

liquefaction induced total settlements were calculated for these layers 8 . The results indicate 

between 1.0 to 2.9 inches of total settlement may occur during a seismic event. Since these layers 

are non-uniform across the site, we estimate that the differential settlements may equal the total 

settlement values. In addition, due to the shallow nature of the potentially liquefiable materials, 

sand boils may occur. The identified potential for liquefaction induced settlements and sand boils 

can be mitigated by over-excavation and replacement as engineered fill or by in-situ densification as 

recommended in the following sections of the report.

Evaluation of Liquefaction Resistance of Soils,” Technical Report NCEER 97-0022, December 31, 1997

Settlement 

Our investigation of the site included an evaluation of consolidation settlement of the subsurface 

soil materials. The current and previous test borings and pits indicate that settlement of the near 

surface fill materials will occur if not mitigated prior to development. The anticipated settlement 

from the proposed fill material and weight of the structures is considered excessive. Therefore, 

the near-surface fill materials should be mitigated/densified prior to development to minimize 

total and differential settlements. The fill materials can be mitigated by removal and 

recompaction or by in-situ densification. 

In addition to the potential for settlement of the near surface existing fills, we evaluated the 

potential for settlement due to consolidation of the native subsurface clay soils. We performed 

two consolidation tests which revealed that the clayey materials in the vicinity of Borings 2 and 3 

are currently under-consolidated and subject to settlement. Our settlement analysis of the underconsolidated 

materials indicates that 0.5 to 1.2 inches of long-term total settlement may occur 

after the buildings are constructed. Differential settlement can be assumed to be one-half of the 

total settlement, or up to 0.6 inches.

DISCUSSIONS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

General 

From a geotechnical point of view, the proposed South River Place, Phase 1 (Cinemark Theatre) 

is feasible for construction on the subject site provided the recommendations presented in this 

report are incorporated into the project plans and specifications. 

The grading, foundation and ground improvement plans and calculations for the development 

must be reviewed by the Soil Engineer prior to contract bidding or submittal to governmental 

agencies to ensure that the geotechnical recommendations contained herein are properly 

incorporated and utilized in design. 

KC ENGINEERING CO., should be notified at least two working days prior to site clearing, 

grading, and/or foundation operations on the property. This will give the Soil Engineer ample 

time to discuss the problems that may be encountered in the field and coordinate the work with 

the contractor. 

Field observation and testing during the grading and/or foundation operations must be provided 

by representatives of KC ENGINEERING CO., to enable them to form an opinion regarding the 

adequacy of the site preparation, the acceptability of fill materials, and the extent to which the 

earthwork construction and the degree of compaction comply with the specification 

requirements. Any work related to the grading and/or foundation operations performed without 

the full knowledge and under the direct observation of the Soil Engineer will render the 

recommendations of this report invalid. This does not imply full-time observation. The degree 

of observation and frequency of testing services would depend on the construction methods and 

schedule, and the item of work. 

Geotechnical Considerations 

The primary geotechnical considerations are the potential for settlement of the surficial fills due 

to liquefaction and due to the weight of the proposed structure loading. In addition, the old fills 

were not placed as compacted engineered fill and are highly variable. The potential of 

consolidation and liquefaction induced settlement in the existing fill materials can be adequately 

mitigated by excavation and replacement as engineered fill by conventional earthwork grading 

techniques or by other in-place ground modification methods such as compaction grouting or the 

use of stone columns such as Geopiers. 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

It is our opinion that the in-place ground improvement technique most suitable would be to 

construct stone columns or rammed aggregate piers (also known locally as Geopier soil 

reinforcement). Alternative ground improvement methods may be considered but must be 

provided to our firm for review and approval. Rammed aggregate piers are a method of 

densifying the soils by drilling pier holes and mechanically ramming well-graded aggregate into 

the holes in thin lifts. The high impact energy not only densifies the aggregate, but also 

prestrains and prestresses the surrounding soil laterally. This increases the soil’s ability to 

withstand higher vertical and lateral stresses. The rammed aggregate piers must be designed and 

constructed in accordance with the Geopier Foundation Company recommendations. Hole 

casing or alternative methods should be anticipated as was required on the adjacent Homeless 

Shelter site. The Geopier design will provide the project Structural Engineer with an increased 

allowable bearing capacity, a decreased differential settlement potential and the other foundation 

related criteria. If this option is selected, the Foundation Plans and Geopier design documents 

should be provided to us for review prior to construction. 

In addition, another geotechnical concern for the site is the presence of near-surface, low to 

highly expansive clays, the existing stockpile and fill soils beneath the site. The near surface soil 

is prone to heave and shrink movements with changes in moisture content and, consequently, 

must be carefully considered in the design of grading, foundations, drainage, and landscaping. 

The recommendations provided in the following sections will minimize the effects of the noted 

concerns. 

As previously discussed, the central portion of the site is covered by a variable height stockpile 

which is underlain by old dredge fills. Based on the nearby Hartle Court (new), transitional 

housing, homeless shelter and fire station improvement grades, we anticipate that the soils at the 

proposed pad grade (approximately elev. +15 ft.) will be variable ranging from sandy clay to silt 

and sand. Furthermore, portions of the stockpile may remain after cutting to the pad grade. 

Therefore, it is our opinion that commercial building structures may be satisfactorily supported 

on a deepened spread footing foundation system in conjunction with an interior concrete slab-ongrade 

floor provided that the fill materials are mitigated by grading as noted below, or by other 

approved ground densification methods. In addition, any additional import soils should meet the 

requirements as noted below. Specific recommendations for the spread footing foundation 

systems are given later under the heading Foundations. 

Groundwater was encountered at elevations ranging from -6.0 to +11.0 feet. The groundwater 

table is not expected to impact the future performance of the proposed buildings. However, any 

grading near or below these levels and any utilities below these elevations will likely encounter 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

groundwater and/or localized seepage zones. The mass grading and underground contractor 

should be made aware of these conditions so that appropriate dewatering methods can be 

employed. 

Grading 

It is recommended that grading for the proposed site be performed during the drier seasons to 

minimize potential compaction problems resulting from excessive moisture, perched water and 

ground seepage. Should grading be performed during the wetter months, delays may occur due to 

extensive processing and/or chemical modification (lime/cement treatment) may be required. The 

grading recommendations presented herein should be followed during the mass grading operations 

on the subject site. 

We anticipate that the proposed grading will consist of cuts and fills up to 7 vertical feet to achieve 

the design building pad and pavement subgrade elevations. However, as noted above, there will 

still be stockpile soils left at these grades and the soils will be non-uniform. In addition, the existing 

near surface materials consists of firm sandy clays and loose sands which require densification prior 

to foundation construction. The densification can be achieved through conventional grading 

techniques or by in-place methods such as stone columns or compaction grouting. 

The following recommendations are applicable to densification by conventional grading techniques. 

In areas where buildings are proposed and where Hartle Court will be widened, the old fill soils 

identified in the borings should be over-excavated to undisturbed native ground as observed and 

approved by the Soil Engineer. Based on the borings, excavations to elevations ranging from +1 

to +5 feet should be expected resulting in over-excavation depths of 5 to 11 feet (not including 

the stockpile). Localized dewatering of the excavations may be required by the contractor, 

especially near Borings 2 and 3. The excavation should extend a minimum of 5 feet laterally 

beyond the building footprint and the area replaced with engineered fill as noted below. We also 

note that debris may be encountered in the excavated fill that must be removed from the site. 

While we did not encounter any during this investigation, our experience on adjacent projects 

indicates there is a possibility of this condition. 

Based on our experience on the adjacent construction operations for Hartle Court, Transitional 

Housing, Homeless Shelter and Fire Station, the native clay soils that will be exposed will likely 

be soft, wet and unstable. Placement of fill on these materials with conventional earthmoving 

equipment will likely be difficult. Therefore, as we have performed on the adjacent sites, a 

stabilization layer should be anticipated by the contractor at the bottom of the excavations. The 

stabilization layer should consist of Tensar BX1200 (or approved equivalent) geogrid overlain by 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

an 18-inch thick layer of 6-inch minus crushed rock overlain by Mirafi 600x (or approved 

equivalent) geotextile followed by engineered fill placement. The requirement for stabilization 

and the method may be modified in the field by the Soil Engineer at the time of grading. 

In all other areas (non-building or parking lots), the upper 3 feet (minimum) of the subgrade 

should consist of engineered fill. Where over-excavation is required (north half of the site), the 

area should be excavated to a depth of 2 feet, the bottom 12 inches scarified and compacted inplace 

and the area replaced as engineered fill. The south half of the site will require more than 3 

feet of fill to achieve the design grades and therefore does not require over-excavation. 

Prior to site grading, the existing stockpile which covers a portion of the site must be removed. 

After removal of the existing stockpile, the surface of the areas to be graded will require stripping to 

remove vegetation and/or other deleterious materials. It is estimated that stripping depths of about 1 

to 2 inches may be necessary; however, the actual depth of stripping should be determined in the 

field by the Soil Engineer. Stripped material from the site may not be used as engineered fill but 

may be stockpiled and used later for landscaping purposes. Any existing undesirable items which 

do not meet the requirements of engineered fill (wood, concrete, buried pipes, septic tanks, etc…) 

should be excavated and removed from the site. 

As part of the Transitional Housing project currently under construction north of the site, Hartle 

Court (new) is being extended to connect to the western end of the road. Hartle Court (old) will 

then be abandoned. As part of the South River Place project, the abandoned road will be 

demolished. The road improvements (including curb/gutter/sidewalk) and any utilities which will 

not remain in service must be demolished and removed from the site. The exception is that the 

aggregate base, asphalt concrete and portland cement concrete may be crushed and used on the site 

as general fill. 

After stripping and over-excavation of the existing firm/loose fills, and prior to any additional fill 

placement, the upper 12 inches should be scarified, moisture conditioned as necessary and 

compacted to a minimum degree of relative compaction of 90% at 2 or more percent above 

optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D1557 Laboratory Test Procedure. Mitigation 

of wet/unstable soils is discussed above. After processing and compacting the upper 12 inches (or 

stabilization), the site may be brought to the desired finished grades by placing engineered fill in 

lifts of 8 inches in uncompacted thickness and compacting to a minimum relative compaction of 

90% at 2 or more percent over optimum in accordance with the aforementioned test procedure. 

All fill material should be approved by the Soil Engineer. The material should be a soil or soilrock 

mixture which is free from excessive organic matter or other deleterious substances. The 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

fill material should not contain rocks or lumps over 6 inches in greatest dimension and not more 

than 15% larger than 2-½ inches. All soils encountered during our investigation would be 

suitable for use as engineered fill when placed and compacted as recommended. 

Should import material be used to establish the proper grading for the proposed development, the 

import material should be approved by the Soil Engineer before it is brought to the site. 

Imported soils should meet the following requirements: 

a. Have an R-Value of not less than 25; 

b. Have a Plasticity Index not higher than 20; 

c. Not more than 15% passing the No. 200 sieve; 

d. No rocks larger than 6 inches in maximum size; 

Prior to compaction, each layer should be spread evenly and should be thoroughly blade mixed 

during the spreading to obtain uniformity of material in each layer. The fill should be brought to 

a water content that will permit proper compaction by either (a) aerating the material if it is too 

wet, or (b) spraying the material with water if it is too dry. Compaction should be performed by 

footed rollers or other types of approved compaction equipment and methods. Compaction 

equipment should be of such design that they will be able to compact the fill to the specified 

density. Rolling of each layer should be continuous over its entire area and the equipment 

should make sufficient trips to ensure that the required density has been obtained. No ponding or 

jetting is permitted. 

The standard test used to define maximum densities and optimum moisture content of all 

compaction work shall be the Laboratory Test procedure ASTM D1557 and field tests shall be 

expressed as a relative compaction in terms of the maximum dry density and optimum moisture 

content obtained in the laboratory by the foregoing standard procedure. Field density and 

moisture tests shall be made in each compacted layer by the Soil Engineer in accordance with 

Laboratory Test Procedure ASTM D6938, respectively. When footed rollers are used for 

compaction, the density and moisture tests shall be taken in the compacted material below the 

surface disturbed by the roller. When these tests indicate that the compaction requirements on 

any layer of fill, or portion thereof, has not been met, the particular layer, or portion thereof, shall 

be reworked until the compaction requirements have been met. 

Surface Drainage 

A very important factor affecting the performance of structures is the proper design, 

implementation, and maintenance of surface drainage. Ponded water will cause swelling and/or 

loss of soil strength and may also seep under structures. Should surface water be allowed to seep 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

under the structures, differential foundation movement resulting in structural damage and/or 

standing water under the slab will occur. This may cause dampness to the floor which may result 

in mildew, staining, and/or warping of floor coverings. To minimize the potential for the above 

problems, the following surface drainage measures are recommended and must be maintained by 

the property owner in perpetuity: 

a) Liberal building pad slopes and drainage must be provided by the project Civil Engineer 

to remove all storm water from the pad and to prevent storm and/or irrigation water from 

ponding adjacent to the structure foundation or other improvements. The finished pad 

grade around the structures should be compacted and sloped away from the exterior 

foundations and as required in Section 1803.3 of the 2007 CBC. 

b) Enclosed or trapped planter areas adjacent to the structure foundation should be avoided 

if possible. Where enclosed planter areas are constructed, these areas must be provided 

with adequate measures to drain surface water (irrigation and rainfall) away from the 

foundation. Positive surface gradients and/or controlled drainage area inlets should be 

provided. Care should be taken to adequately slope surface grades away from the 

structure foundation and into area inlets. Drainage area inlets should be piped to a 

suitable discharge facility. 

c) Roof drains should be connected to a closed pipe system to carry storm water away from 

the structures and graded areas. In doing this, the possibility of soil saturation adjacent to 

the foundation and engineered fills is reduced. Downspout water may be allowed to 

discharge directly onto hardscape surfaces provided positive drainage is maintained. 

d) Site drainage should be designed by the project Civil Engineer. Civil engineering, 

hydraulic engineering, and surveying expertise is necessary to design proper surface 

drainage to assure that the flow of water is directed away from the foundations. 

e) Over-irrigation of plants is a common source of water migrating beneath a structure. 

Consequently, the amount of irrigation should not be any more than the amount necessary 

to support growth of the plants. Foliage requiring little irrigation (drip system) is 

recommended for the areas immediately adjacent to the structure. 

f) Landscape mounds or concrete flatwork should not be constructed to block or obstruct 

the surface drainage paths. The Landscape Architect or other landscaper should be made 

aware of these landscaping recommendations and should implement them as designed. 

The surface drainage facilities should be constructed by the contractor as designed by the 

Civil Engineer.

Foundations 

Based on our field and laboratory investigation, the subsurface soils have the potential for 

settlement due to seismically induced liquefaction and consolidation of the subsurface soils as 

identified above. As stated above, the liquefaction and consolidation hazards must be mitigated by 

over-excavation and recompaction of the old fill soils or by in-situ densification. In addition, the 

site’s near surface foundation soils are considered to have a low to high expansion potential and 

susceptible to potential differential movements due to variations in moisture content. Therefore, 

provided the building pads are graded as recommended above, the buildings may be satisfactorily 

supported on a deepened, interconnected spread footing foundation system in conjunction with 

interior slabs-on-grade. Recommendations for the spread footing foundation system where 

densification by conventional grading techniques is performed are presented below. If in-place 

densification is performed, the foundation criteria should be provided by the densification designer. 

Spread footings should extend to a minimum depth of 30 inches below lowest adjacent pad grade 

(i.e., trenching depth). At this depth, the recommended design bearing pressure should not 

exceed 2,000 p.s.f. due to dead plus sustained live loads. The above allowable pressure may be 

increased by 1/3 due to all loads which include wind and seismic. Isolated footings are not 

recommended. All footings must be interconnected with continuous footings or tie-beams. All 

foundations must be adequately reinforced to provide structural continuity and resist the 

anticipated loads as determined by the project Structural Engineer. However, continuous 

footings are to be reinforced with a minimum of 4 No. 5 bars, 2 at the top and 2 near the bottom 

of the footing. Additional reinforcement will be as required by the structural engineer and in 

accordance with structural building code requirements. Foundations designed in accordance 

with the above criteria should be expected to experience a total settlement of 1 inch and a 

differential of ½ inch. 

To accommodate lateral building loads, the passive resistance of the foundation soil can be 

utilized. The passive soil pressures can be assumed to act against the front face of the footing 

below a depth of 1 foot below the ground surface. It is recommended that a passive pressure 

equivalent to that of a fluid weighing 250 p.c.f. be used. For design purposes, an allowable 

friction coefficient of 0.30 can be assumed at the base of the spread footings. 

Two bag samples of the near surface soils on Retail 1 and 2 pads were collected and transported 

to Sunland Analytical in Rancho Cordova for testing of water soluble sulfates in accordance with 

California Test Method 417. The testing indicates a sulfate content ranging from 32.3 to 124.0 

ppm (mg/kg) for the samples collected. Based on exposure conditions as identified in Table 19- 

A-4 of the California Building Code, the building site is classified as “Negligible” which 

requires no special provisions for cement type, concrete strength, or water/cement ratio. 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Slab-on-Grade Construction 

Interior slabs utilized in conjunction with spread footings and exterior slabs-on-grade should be 

constructed in accordance with the following recommendations: 

a) All areas to receive slabs should be wetted to seal any desiccation or shrinkage cracks 

prior to placing the underslab components. This work should be done under the 

observation of the Soil Engineer. 

b) Slabs should be underlain by a minimum of 4 inches of ¾” Caltrans Class II 

Aggregate Base placed and compacted between the finished subgrade and the slabs to 

serve as subbase support. 

c) Slabs should be a minimum of 5 inches thick and be reinforced with a minimum of 

No. 4 bars spaced 16 inches center to center, each way. The actual slab thickness and 

reinforcement should be determined by the project structural engineer in accordance 

with the structural requirements. The reinforcement shall be placed in the center of 

the slab unless otherwise designated by the design engineer. Thickened edges should 

also be constructed adjacent to landscape areas such that the slab rests on grade. 

d) A vapor barrier membrane should be installed between the subgrade and the slab to 

minimize moisture condensation under floor coverings and/or upward vapor 

transmission. The vapor barrier membrane should be a minimum 10-mil extruded 

polyolefin plastic that complies with ASTM E1745 Class A and have a permeance of 

less than 0.01 perms per ASTM E96 or ASTM F1249. It is noted that polyethylene 

films (visqueen) do not meet these specifications. The vapor barrier must be 

adequately lapped and taped/sealed at penetrations and seams in accordance with 

ASTM E1643 and the manufacturer’s specifications. The vapor retarder must be 

placed continuously across the slab area, including closure strips. Therefore, the 

membrane must extend beyond the closure strip contact to allow for adequate lapping 

and sealing of the seam. 

To prevent excessive moisture migration through the slab, and minimize the 

occurrence of shrinkage cracking and slab curling, it is recommended that all slab-ongrade 

concrete be placed with a maximum water to cement ratio of 0.5 and be 

appropriately cured. In addition, the slab should not be subjected to rainfall or 

cleaning water prior to placement of the floor coverings. Floor moisture emission 

testing may also be required prior to placement of moisture sensitive floor coverings. 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

e) If it is desired to place a granular cushion between the vapor retarder and the slab, it 

should be 2 inches thick and meet the following specifications. The cushion material 

as recommended in ACI 302.1R may be an unwashed size No. 10 material per ASTM 

D 448. This material should meet a gradation of 100% passing 3/8”, 85 to 100% 

passing No. 4, 10 to 30% passing No. 100, and 0 to 5% passing No. 200. It is noted 

that clean sand does not meet the ACI requirements. Alternative materials must be 

approved by the Soils Engineer prior to use. The cushion material should be dry to 

slightly damp at the time of concrete placement. 

f) Interior and exterior slabs should be provided with crack control saw cut joints or tool 

joints to allow for expansion and contraction of the concrete. The type and layout of 

the joints should be determined by the project Structural Engineer and Architect. 

Pavement Areas 

The driveways and parking areas will be paved with asphalt concrete (AC) and/or portland cement 

concrete (PCC) surfaces. Recommendations for both pavement surfaces are presented below. We 

emphasize that the performance of the pavement is critically dependent upon adequate and uniform 

compaction of the subgrade soils, as well as engineered fill and utility trench backfill within the 

limits of pavements. Pavements will typically have poor performance and shorter life where water 

is allowed to migrate into the aggregate base and subgrade soils. The main source of water into 

pavement materials is landscape planters constructed within or adjacent to pavement areas. Where 

this is planned, it is suggested to extend the curbs into the soil subgrade at least 2 inches. The 

construction of all pavements should conform to the requirements set forth by the latest Standard 

Specifications of the Department of Transportation of the State of California (Caltrans) and/or the 

City of Napa. 

R-Value: A bulk sample of the near-surface soils was obtained during our previous investigation 

that is representative of the anticipated subgrade soils. The sample was tested in accordance with 

California Test Method 301 to determine the applicable R-Value for the site. An R-Value of 18 was 

determined for the site. However, to account for some variability in the materials and to ensure 

long-term performance, we recommend a design R-Value of 15. 

Preparation of Subgrade: After underground utilities have been placed in the areas to receive 

pavement and removal of excess material has been completed, the upper 8 inches of the subgrade 

soil shall be scarified, moisture conditioned and compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 

95% at an above optimum moisture content in accordance with the grading recommendations 

specified in this report. Prior to placement of aggregate baserock, it is recommended that the 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

subgrade be proof rolled and observed for deflection by the Soils Engineer. Should 

deflection/pumping conditions be encountered, supplemental recommendations will be provided. 

It is noted that the near surface soils that will comprise the subgrade are considered moderately 

to highly expansive or “active” per the City of Napa Standards (July 2008). According to the 

City Standards, roads within the City right-of-way that have “active” subgrade soils will require 

mitigation. Therefore, we recommended to over-excavate the active soils a depth of 6 inches, a 

stabilization fabric such as a Mirafi 500X or equivalent be placed at the bottom, and the area 

replaced with additional aggregate base rock. As an alternative, if it is desired to mitigate the 

soils by chemical treatment, additional testing will be needed to determine the type of treatment 

(lime and/or cement), depth of treatment and percent of product required. 

Aggregate Base: All aggregate base material placed subsequently should also be compacted to a 

minimum relative compaction of 95% based on the ASTM Test Procedure D1557. The 

recommended aggregate base thicknesses for asphalt pavements are noted in the table below. The 

minimum aggregate base thickness for portland cement concrete pavements is 6 compacted inches. 

Asphalt Concrete: Based on the design R-Value of 15, and a range of traffic indices typical for a 

mixed developments, the recommended pavement sections for asphalt concrete surfaces are 

summarized in the table below. The appropriate traffic index (TI) should be determined by the 

project Civil Engineer or City of Napa Standards.

NOTES: 

(1) Minimum R-Value = 78 

(2) Includes additional aggregate base for mitigation of active soils 

(3) All layers in compacted thickness to CalTrans Standard Specifications. 

Portland Cement Concrete: Where PCC pavement areas are utilized, the concrete should be poured 

on the compacted aggregate base layer described above. The concrete should be a minimum of 6 

inches thick and reinforced with a minimum of No.4 rebar spaced at 16 inches on center, each way. 

Additional reinforcement may be required by the Structural Engineer. 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Retaining Walls 

If retaining walls are required the following design parameters should be utilized in the design 

and construction of the proposed walls. Retaining walls should be founded on spread footings as 

noted above under the Foundation section. It is noted that drainage of any below grade 

structures, such as elevator pits, should be provided. We recommend that all below grade walls 

be water-proofed as recommended by a specialist. The walls should be designed to resist lateral 

pressures of 45 p.c.f. for active conditions and 60 p.c.f. for at-rest conditions, and a passive 

resistance of 250 p.c.f., expressed as an equivalent fluid weight. Active conditions occur when 

the top of the wall is free to move outward. At-rest conditions apply when the top of the wall is 

restrained from any movement. A coefficient of friction for sliding resistance of 0.30 may be 

used. It should be noted that the effects of any surcharge or compaction loads behind the walls 

2 

must be accounted for in the design of the walls. In addition, an earthquake load of 8H applied 

at 0.6H , where H = wall height, from the bottom of the wall is applicable. The design should 

be submitted to the Soil Engineer for review. 

The above criteria are based on fully drained conditions. Where fully drained conditions cannot 

be achieved, the walls should be designed to account for the additional weight of water. In order 

to achieve fully-drained conditions, a drainage filter blanket should be placed behind the wall. 

The blanket should be a minimum of 12 inches thick and should extend the full height of the wall 

to within 12 inches of the surface. If the excavated area behind the wall exceeds 12 inches, the 

entire excavated space behind the 12-inch blanket should consist of compacted engineered fill or 

blanket material. The drainage blanket material may consist of either granular crushed rock with 

drain pipe fully encapsulated in geotextile filter fabric or Class II permeable material that meets 

CalTrans Specification, Section 68, with drainage pipe, and optional fabric. A 4-inch perforated 

drain pipe should be installed in the bottom of the drainage blanket and should be underlain by at 

least 4 inches of filter type material. A 12-inch cap of native soil material should be placed over 

the drainage blanket. Piping with adequate gradient shall be provided to discharge water that 

collects behind the walls to an adequately controlled discharge system away from the structure 

foundations. 

General Construction Requirements 

Utility trenches extending underneath all traffic areas must be backfilled with native or approved 

import material and compacted to relative compaction of 90% to within 6 inches of the subgrade. 

The upper 6 inches should be compacted to 95% relative compaction in accordance with 

Laboratory Test Procedure ASTM D1557-91. Backfilling and compaction of these trenches 

must meet the requirements set forth by the City of Napa, Department of Public Works. 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 



________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Applicable safety standards require that trenches in excess of 5 feet must be properly shored or 

that the walls of the trench slope back to provide safety for installation of lines. If trench wall 

sloping is performed, the inclination should vary with the soil type and applicable OSHA Safety 

Standards. 

With respect to state-of-the-art construction or local requirements, utility lines are generally 

bedded with granular materials. These materials can convey surface or subsurface water beneath 

the structures. It is, therefore, recommended that all utility trenches which possess the potential 

to transport water be sealed with a compacted impervious cohesive soil material or lean concrete 

where the trench enters/exits the building perimeter. This impervious seal should extend a 

minimum of 2 feet away from the building perimeter.

STORMWATER POND MODIFICATION 


JUNE 24, 2011 

PAGE 1 

INTRODUCTION 

This report includes a modified stormwater runoff management plan and a hydraulic design 

report for the proposed modifications to the existing stormwater runoff system for the South 

Napa Marketplace shopping center. The modifications will replace the existing South Pond 

system, which collects runoff from the southern portion of the center, with an upgraded 

stormwater collection and treatment system in an underground structural BMP chamber system. 

This modification structural BMP system is located in the development of part of the planned 

South Napa Century Center project which calls for the construction of a theatre complex and 

related retail on the parcel adjacent to the South Napa Marketplace center. 

EXISTING CONDITIONS 

The South Napa Marketplace site includes separate pond systems that collect drainage from the 

northern and southern portions of the shopping center. The southern portion of the site (25.3 

acres) is served by the South Pond drainage system and the northern portion (5.4 acres) is served 

by the North Pond drainage system. Only the South Pond system will be affected by this 

proposed stormwater system modifications. The South Pond system is located on the parcel 

adjacent to the shopping center on the proposed site for the South Napa Century Center. 

The South Pond stormwater treatment system includes a two-stage vegetated wet pond consisting 

of a smaller settling pond (forebay) and a large retention basin (afterbay), followed by a linear 

riprap channel. Collected runoff from 25.3 acres enters the forebay via a 48” concrete pipe that 

crosses under Gasser Drive from South Napa Marketplace. The forebay has a detention capacity 

of approximately 0.57 acre-feet, and the detention basin has an estimated nominal capacity of 

5.07 acre-feet, with a total system volume of 5.6 acre-feet. Treated stormwater is then 

discharged via the riprap lined channel through two 66” CIP concrete storm drains to the 

remnant Tulocay Creek Channel on the south side of Imola Avenue, and ultimately to the Napa 

River. The riprap lined channel and twin 66” CIP pipes were originally installed by the Napa 

Flood Control District. 

The existing ponds lie at a bottom elevation of 3.5 ft with surrounding ground at approximately 

elevation 10. The forebay and detention ponds are separated by a weir at elevation 7.5 and the 

detention pond has a discharge via a dock weir at elevation 7.5. Hydraulic records for this 

system were not found in City of Napa files, with the best flow information available through the 

stormwater treatment system report by Woodward-Clyde that discusses the 10 and 100 year flow 

rates noted herein. Further refinement of design flows are noted in this report. We estimate the 

existing pond water elevation at approximately elevation 8 at the 100 year storm, backwatering 

into the South Napa Marketplace discharge piping. The proposed structural BMP modification 

hydraulically adheres to the proposed estimated existing condition.



JUNE 24, 2011 

PAGE 2 


The proposed modification seeks to replace the existing South Pond system (forebay and 

afterbay) with an upgraded hybrid water quality management system made up of sequential 

structural BMPs, filtration, and an engineered bioswale for final polishing. The proposed 

modification consists of three stages. 

An updated Report of Waste Discharge for this proposed modification was approved by the San 

Francisco Regional Water Quality Board per an acceptance letter dated May 20, 2011. 

Primary Stage: Kristar Separator 

The first element of the proposed treatment system modification is to consist of a structural 

device, the Kristar FloGard Dual-Vortex hydrodynamic separator (Model DVS-96), to be 

installed in-line with a 48” HDPE storm drain. This structural BMP is designed to act as a 

primary clarifier, removing floatable oils and trash and large particles. 

Secondary Stage: StormTech Chamber System 

The major feature of the proposed pond modification is the subgrade chamber and gravel media 

filtration system to be installed beneath the planned South Napa Century Center parking lot, in 

the area now occupied by the existing pond system. The installation will consist of subsurface 

rows of high-volume StormTech chambers, including the Isolator Row, with an overall capacity 

volume of 1.63 acre-feet, and a detention volume of 1.54 acre-feet. Pre-screened runoff from the 

Kristar Primary Stage will be conveyed to the Isolator Row, transitioning into a large lined 

settling volume and distributed through the chamber and gravel system. The specially designed 

Isolator Row acts as a clarifier and filter for any remaining fine particulate and associated 

contaminants. 

The StormTech chamber system includes an Isolator Row filter to capture and filter the first 

flush and most flow events, followed by three additional gravel chambers for filtration and 

retention. The StormTech Isolator Row consists of a 406 foot long row of arched chambers, 5 

feet in height and 8 feet in width, set over a minimum of 15 inch drain rock base and surrounded 

by additional drain rock. In the Isolator Row, the otherwise open drain rock bottom of the 

chamber rows is lined with woven geotextile filter material. The Isolator Row is designed to 

distribute flow evenly throughout the chamber and gravel system. This system, installed beneath 

the South Napa Century Center parking lot, is designed to prevent short circuiting and enhance 

stormwater filtration. Flow patterns include upflow, down-flow, and lateral transport. 

Tertiary Stage: Bioswale 

The final polishing stage includes the conversion of the existing riprap lined channel that 

currently serves as a discharge channel for the existing pond during overflow conditions to a 

vegetated bioswale. This riprap lined channel is to be enhanced as an engineered bioswale. The 

bioswale will include a vegetated layer of bioswale soil mix over clean filtration gravel and 

divided into linear horizontal cells by rock check dams to add stability during high flows.

PROPOSED CONDITIONS 

Refer to the Carlile Macy Stormwater Pond Modification plans on (pages C8 – C11 of the South 

Napa Century Center plans by Foulk Gomez and Associates) for the layout of the proposed 

system, including details and specifications. Modifications to the storm drain system will begin 

at Gasser Drive; existing storm drains and flow controls located on the South Napa Marketplace 

site will not be modified. 

Drainage System 

The existing 18 and 15 inch storm drains that drain into the 30 inch concrete discharge pipe to 

the South Pond will be rerouted to a 60” manhole (MH 405) through a 48 inch pipe (all 

following storm drains will be 48 inches unless specified). MH 404 will connect to another 60” 

manhole (MH 404). The other existing 15 inch storm drain and the 24 inch storm drain will be 

rerouted to MH 404. From here a storm drain will direct stormwater west to a 60” manhole (MH 

402), make a 90-degree turn and enter the 8’x 8’ rectangular Kristar Separator (Sructure 403). 

The flow will make a 90-degree turn through the Kristar unit and enter a 84” manhole, MH 401, 

at the entrance to the StormTech chamber system. (Refer to page C8 for a layout of the proposed 

drainage system and page C10 for details of the Kristar unit). 

StormTech Chamber System 

MH 401 (see detail 2 on page C10) will control the flow into the Isolator Row and gravel 

chambers of the StormTech chamber system (see details on page C9 for the StormTech system). 

Flows up to 7.75 cfs will be directed through the 24 inch inlet stub to the Isolator Row where the 

stormwater will flow through the Isolator filter and subsurface gravel. The stormwater will 

continue to flow through the following three gravel chambers and discharge to a 96 inch 

manhole, MH 400 (see detail 1 on page C10). During high flows over 7.75 cfs, the stormwater 

will fill up the Isolator Row, over top of a weir at elevation 6.35 in MH 401, and bypass the 

Isolator Row by entering the 36 inch gravel chamber manifold. This weir will force most 

stormwaters through all chambers, enhancing filtration treatment and preventing short circuiting 

with a resulting backwater similar to existing hydraulics. The manifold will direct the high flow 

into the three gravel chambers through 30” inlet stubs. All collected and detained stormwater in 

the Isolator Row and the gravel chambers will flow through the subsurface gravel and discharge 

to MH 400 through a 48 inch pipe. The StormTech chambers and surrounding gravel will remain 

full of water controlled by the elevated discharge stormdrains at MH 401. Water surface in the 

structural BMP will vary from elevation 5.73 to approximately 8.0. A 6 inch perforated 

drainpipe will be placed at the bottom the StormTech chambers and will be directed into a 

concrete manhole pump sump. During the dry season an irrigation pump can draw the stored 

treated water from the sump for landscape irrigation, providing a maximum of 501,800 gallons 

of reclaimed water if the StormTech system is full to capacity. 

Bioswale 

The StormTech system will drain into MH 400 and eventually discharge into an engineered 

bioswale (see details page C11). Until the StormTech system has reached its overall retention 

volume 1.54 acre-feet, the stormwater will be stored and treated in the subsurface chambers and



JUNE 24, 2011 

PAGE 4 

gravel. When the subsurface system has reached its volume capacity the water will flow through 

two 30 inch outlet pipes and discharge to the bioswale. The treated stormwater will receive final 

polishing treatment while passing through the biofiltration soil mix and clean gravel bed. The 

225 foot bioswale will discharge treated stormwater outflow to two 66 inch existing CIP pipes 

and discharge to Tulocay Creek. 

DESIGN FLOWS AND STORAGE VOLUME 

The flow rate and volume metrics for the proposed improved stormwater treatment system were 

developed with modifications from the 1995 design report from Woodward-Clyde, “Storm Water 

Treatment Facilities for the South Napa Marketplace” (on file with the City of Napa). The 

original design overestimated storm event volumes using runoff curves from the 1993 California 

Municipal BMP Handbook. Since 1993, the City of Napa has developed hydraulic runoff curves 

specific to the local area, and thus more accurate than the handbook. (Woodward-Clyde runoff 

and hydrology tables are located in Tables 1 and 2 in Appendix A.) 

Updated discharge flow rates for the modified design were calculated using the Napa 

commercial area runoff curves over the 25.3 acre drainage area calculated by Woodward-Clyde 

(see Tables 1 and 2). A site runoff coefficient of 0.91 was used, representing the average 

coefficient used in the Woodward-Clyde design. Results indicate the 2, 10, and 100-year peak 

flows to be 4.59 cfs, 27.84 cfs, and 49.74 cfs, respectively (refer to the runoff curves for the 10 

and 100 year storm in Appendix A). 

The calculations presented in Table 2 establish the volumetric basis for the design of the South 

Pond. The pond was sized based on the mean annual storm volume of 1.15 acre-feet; calculated 

as a 0.2 in/hr storm event over 25.3 acres for 3 hrs. The overall volume of the subsurface 

chamber and gravel filter system is over 1.6 acre-feet, exceeding the mean annual storm volume 

of 1.15 acre-feet. 

HYDRAULIC DESIGN 

The hydraulics of the modified stormwater system were analyzed using StormCAD, with the 

exception of the StormTech chamber system and the bioswale which were designed using 

hydraulic calculations. A layout of the system designed in StormCAD and the resulting data and 

hydraulic profiles are located in Appendix B, as are all other hydraulic calculations. 

Design Assumptions 

Coefficient of Runoff: Tables 1 and 2 list the different runoff coefficients for the areas that drain 

to the existing stormwater pond. An average of these values, 0.91, was used for this project 

modification. 

Design Storm: The proposed modification to the stormwater system was designed for the 100- 

year storm, and also analyzed for the 10-year storm.



JUNE 24, 2011 

PAGE 5 

Mannings n-value: An n-value of 0.014 for HDPE pipe was used for all pipes within the 

stormwater system, except the pipes in the StormTech system which were given an n-value of 

0.012. An n-value of 0.34 for a vegetated roughened channel was used for evaluating the 

bioswale. 

Kristar Separator 

The Kristar DVS-96 unit was selected because it can perform under flows up to 57 cfs. Head 

losses due to friction were accounted for including 0.81 ft during the 10-year storm flow, and 

1.34 ft during the 100-year storm flow. 

Subsurface Stormwater Detention and Treatment System 

The detention and treatment system consisting of a StormTech chamber system includes multiple 

elements that require separate hydraulic analyses. StormTech design spreadsheets and hydraulic 

methodology provided by the manufacturer were followed to design the size of the chambers and 

associated piping. To ensure a detention volume equal to or greater than the mean average storm 

and to ensure sufficient water quality treatment, the system sizing was selected as one Isolator 

Row consisting of 99 chambers (52 inches wide per chamber) and three gravel chambers of 99 

chambers each (see Appendix B for the StormTech sizing spreadsheet). The maximum volume 

capacity of the chamber system is 1.63 acre-feet. The inlet and outlet manifolds were designed to 

pass the 100 year storm modeling existing backflow conditions upstream and to prevent scouring 

in the chambers that could erode the gravel bed. 

The inlet weir into the StormTech chambers was designed at an elevation of 6.35 in MH 401 to 

bypass high flows into the gravel chambers. The 24 inch inlet pipe to the Isolator Row can accept 

flows up to 7.75 cfs (see the Stormtech Isolator Row Capacity results in Appendix B) before 

flow is diverted to the other gravel chamber. The subsurface flow through the gravel flows at a 

maximum rate of 0.24 cfs per chamber. With a total of 99 chambers in the Isolator Row, 

stormwater flows through the gravel at a rate of approximately 24 cfs. The gravel chamber 

manifold (36 inches) and stubs (30 inches) into the three chambers were designed to accept the 

full 100 year flow of 50 cfs. The outlet manifold (48 inchs) and stubs (42 inches) were designed 

to accept the full 100 year flow and discharge to the bioswale through MH 400. 

Bioswale 

The two 30 inch pipes from MH 400 will outfall to the surface of the bioswale at an elevation of 

5.73 feet. The bioswale was designed to have 12 foot base, side slopes of 2:1, a length of 225 

and a slope of 0.24%. The bioswale channel will include a minimum of 10 inches of gravel 

covered by a maximum of 9 inches of biofiltration soil mix. The bioswale was modeled as a 

uniform channel to determine the depth of the water above the bioswale at different storm events 

(see the Bioswale Design Calculations in Appendix B). 

The present rock riprap swale has been encroached on by the recent Imola Avenue Caltrans 

improvements. The rock swale will be modified, staying in South Napa Century Center’s 

property, by adding a topping of biofiltration medium. The existing, minor swale waters from



JUNE 24, 2011 

PAGE 6 

Imola Avenue embankment will enter the bioswale and continue to discharge to the current 

storm drains without disruption. 

Small flows in the bioswale will be subsurface, with increasing larger flows splitting flows 

between surface and subsurface flows. The bioswale will also encourage and utilize infiltration 

to meet stormwater BMP goals. 

Hydraulic Results 

The StormCAD profiles and results for the 10 and 100 years storm are located in Appendix B. 

The proposed design maintains a hydraulic grade line below ground elevation throughout the 

storm drain system and the subsurface StormTech chamber system. During the 100 year storm, 

the hydraulic grade at the inlet to the bioswale will be 7.3 feet, lowering to 6.51 feet at the toe of 

the bioswale. 

The pond modification to a structural underground chamber BMP system will achieve superior 

water treatment with similar hydraulic conditions. The larger storm flows will pass through this 

piping/chamber system while maintaining historic hydraulic conditions. 

STORMWATER TREATMENT 

The proposed stormwater modification system is designed to address water quality requirements, 

in specific the contaminants associated with the land use type and the constituents that are 

contributing to the impairment of the receiving waters, the Napa River 

Characterization of Discharge 

Target contaminants that the stormwater treatment system is intended to mitigate are metals 

(copper and zinc), hydrocarbons associated with parking lots and runoff from some roof and 

building materials, trash and debris, sediment, and turbidity. Other pollutants of concern for this 

site include nutrients and pesticides from landscaped areas. Mitigation of possible nutrient 

discharges of fertilizer and pesticide use at South Napa Marketplace landscaping is covered in 

the maintenance agreement between the property owner, the Gasser Foundation, and the 

shopping center owner and operator, Kimco. Other good housekeeping requirements of this 

operating agreement include regular street sweeping, and a comprehensive list of proscribed 

activities that could result in diminished water quality. Table 3 in Appendix A presents the 

inflow concentration data from runoff entering the existing South and North Pond systems as a 

geometric mean of samples taken from three separate storm events. 

The treated stormwater receiving waters for this site, the Napa River, is listed as a Water Quality 

Limited, or Impaired Water Body. The constituents adding to the impairment of the river, 

according to the 2006 Clean Water Act 303(d) list, are nutrients, pathogens, and sediment. 

Currently, TMDL reports have been completed for pathogens and sediment, but not for nutrients. 

The TMDL for pathogens specifies density-based pollutant wasteload allocations for municipal 

runoff. These wasteload allocations include geometric mean concentrations of the following:



JUNE 24, 2011 

PAGE 7 

• < 113 CFU/100mL of E. coli, 

• < 180 CFU/100mL of fecal coliform, 

• Median concentrations of < 216 CFU/100mL of total coliform. 

It is not anticipated that treated stormwater effluent from the proposed project will exceed these 

maximum limits. The TMDL for sedimentation specifies no new regulations for urban 

stormwater discharges; instead best management practices are required to decrease sedimentation 

at the source, as is the case through the diligent housekeeping practices at South Napa 

Marketplace. Nutrient levels of stormwater runoff were found to be very low (refer to Table 3), 

again a reflection of the operating requirements and proscriptions at this shopping center. The 

BMPs proposed in this application for modification will adequately address any remaining 

nutrient levels that may be present. Thus, nutrient levels in the stormwater effluent are not 

expected to add to the impairment of the Napa River. 

Expected Effluent Water Quality 

Anticipated effluent concentrations were estimated in Table 5 in Appendix A for the proposed 

system using the documented removal rates for the treatment system elements discussed below. 

Since the most current monitoring data for the existing system includes fairly low stormwater 

inflow concentrations which may not be representative of the site’s actual first flush 

concentrations, average national stormwater data for commercial properties was used (obtained 

from the National Stormwater Quality Database, Version 1.1, taken from the report "A 

Compilation and Analysis of NPDES Stormwater Monitoring Information" compiled by the 

University of Alabama). However, actual data from the existing monitoring report was used for 

the initial total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) concentration, as this value was higher than the 

national average. This may be accountable to the presence of relatively new asphalt. 

Effluent concentrations were calculated for stormwater exiting the Kristar Separator (Primary 

Stage Treatment) using a conservative total suspended solids (TSS) removal rate of 60% and a 

TPH removal rate of 53%. Effluent concentrations exiting the StormTech sub-grade chamber and 

gravel media filter system (Secondary Stage Treatment) were estimated using removal rates of 

80% TSS, 90% TPH, 53% total zinc (TZn), and 49% total phosphorus (TP). Bioswale removal 

rates included 95% removal of any residual TSS, TPH, and TP, and 55% removal of TZn. 

Refer to Appendix A for a report summary of the documented performance for each treatment 

stage by which the expected effluent water quality was estimated. 

Monitoring and Maintenance 

Monitoring and maintenance of the proposed stormwater system will be greatly simplified, in 

comparison to that of the South Pond. Regular maintenance will include sediment and trash 

removal from the, and trash removal and vegetation management of the bioswale. Removal of 

sediment from the Kristar Separator unit and the Isolator Row will also remove associated 

contaminants.



JUNE 24, 2011 

PAGE 8 

The structural BMPs can be maintained as part of a catch basin-type maintenance schedule. The 

Kristar Separator is maintained by removing the standard manhole cover access lids and 

vacuuming out the accumulated trash, oil, and sediments, at a regular interval and prior to the 

commencement of the rainy season. The system should be inspected by-annually. 

The Isolator Row should also be inspected by-annually. Inspection ports on the ends of the row 

allow access for inspection, and the 30 inch basins in the middle and end of the row allow access 

for cleaning. When sediment build up reaches a height of 3 inches, the row will need to be jetted 

and vacuumed using a vacuum truck; equipment similar to that used for pipeline maintenance.
