Slope Stability Report No. 675. County Slope Stability Report (SSR) No. 675 was prepared for this project (TR31194) by Leighton and Associates and is entitled: "Preliminary Geotechnical
Evaluation, Proposed Residential Development, Evans Road and Garbani Road, Menifee Area, Riverside County, California", dated June 27, 2002. In addition, Leighton and Associates submitted
the following documents for this project:
"Geotechnical Review of Rough Grading Plans, Tract 31194, Menifee, County of Riverside, California", dated January 30, 2004.
“Geotechnical Review Update, Tentative Tract No. 31194, Menifee Area, County of Riverside, California", dated November 2, 2004.
"Preliminary Rock Rippability Investigation, Tract 31194, Menifee, Riverside County, California", dated November 11, 2004.
"Response to County of Riverside Review Comments, Tentative Tract Map No. 31194, Menifee Area, County of Riverside, California", dated February 8, 2005.
These documents are herein incorporated as a part of SSR No. 675.
SSR No. 675 concluded:
The proposed 110 foot 2:1 cut slopes are anticipated to be grossly stable from static and pseudostatic cases.
Oversize rock is expected to be generated as a part of site grading. It is anticipated that the proposed fills are not generally deep enough to accommodate a significant volume of oversize
rock burial below the required depth of 10 feet below finish grade.
The potential for rockfall due to either erosion or seismic ground shaking is significant along the steep, south and west-sloping hillsides on the eastern portion of the site.
No active or inactive fault traces are known to traverse the site and no evidence of onsite faulting was observed during this investigation.
The potential for liquefaction due to the design earthquake event to affect structures at this site is low.
The potential total seismic densification of the onsite dry to damp alluvial soils due to the design earthquake event may be on the order of .5 inch. The potential differential seismic
densification may be on the order of .5 inch in 40 feet laterally.
The nearest known active fault and source of the design earthquake is considered to be the Elsinore Fault Zone, which is located approximately 6.6 miles south of the subject site.
SSR No. 675 recommended:
Cut slopes should be observed during grading for unfavorable conditions, which may require remediation.
Nonstructural areas, such as the proposed park, may be overexcavated and used for burial of oversized rock. Oversized rock should be placed at least 3 feet below finish grade in nonstructural
areas.
The potential hazard from individual rocks should be assessed during grading. Where possible, rockfall hazards should be removed during grading. In the event that potentially unstable
rock cannot be removed, remedial measures such as catchment areas, rock fences, or setbacks may be required.
SSR No. 675 satisfies the requirement for a slope stability assessment for planning purposes. Final approved of SSR No. 675 is hereby granted for planning purposes. Engineering and other
Uniform Building Code parameters where not included as a part of this review or approval and this approval is not intended, and should not be misconstrued as approval for grading permit.
Additional fieldwork, analysis and reporting may be required as part of the grading plan application process. Engineering and other building code parameters will be reviewed and additional
comments and/or conditions may be imposed by the Building and Safety Department upon application for grading and/or building permits.
Design Guidelines. The land divider shall comply with the Citywide Design Standards and Guidelines, originally adopted on April 15, 2020, and any subsequent updates.
Reclaimed Water. The permittee shall install purple pipes and connect to a reclaimed water supply for landscape watering purposes when secondary or reclaimed water is made available
to the site as required by Eastern Municipal Water District.
Lighting Hooded/Directed. Any outside lighting shall be hooded and directed so as not to shine directly upon adjoining property or public rights-of-way.
Off Highway Vehicle Use. No off-highway vehicle use shall be allowed on any parcel or open space area located within the boundaries of this land division map.
Human Remains. If human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the Riverside County Coroner has made
the necessary findings as to origin. Further, pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 5097.98(b) remains shall be left in place and free from disturbance until a final decision as
to the treatment and disposition has been made. If the Riverside County Coroner determines the remains to be Native American, the Native American Heritage Commission shall be contacted
within the period specified by law (24 hours). Subsequently, the Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the "most likely descendant." The most likely descendant shall then
make recommendations and engage in consultation concerning the treatment of the remains as provided in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98.
Non-Disclosure of Location Reburials. It is understood by all parties that unless otherwise required by law, the site of any reburial of Native American human remains or associated
grave goods shall not be disclosed and shall not be governed by public disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act. The Coroner, pursuant to the specific exemption
set forth in California Government Code 6254 (r)., parties, and Lead Agencies, will be asked to withhold public disclosure information related to such reburial, pursuant to the specific
exemption set forth in California Government Code 6254 (r).
Inadvertent Archeological Find. If during ground disturbance activities, unique cultural resources are discovered that were not assessed by the archaeological report(s) and/or environmental
assessment conducted prior to project approval, the following procedures shall be followed. Unique cultural resources are defined, for this condition only, as being multiple artifacts
in close association with each other,
but may include fewer artifacts if the area of the find is determined to be of significance due to its sacred or cultural importance as determined in consultation with the Native American
Tribe(s).
All ground disturbance activities within 100 feet of the discovered cultural resources shall be halted until a meeting is convened between the developer, the archaeologist, the tribal
representative(s) and the Community Development Director to discuss the significance of the find.
At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and after consultation with the tribal representative(s) and the archaeologist, a decision shall be made, with
the concurrence of the Community Development Director, as to the appropriate mitigation (documentation, recovery, avoidance, etc.) for the cultural resources.
Grading of further ground disturbance shall not resume within the area of the discovery until an agreement has been reached by all parties as to the appropriate mitigation. Work shall
be allowed to continue outside of the buffer area and will be monitored by additional Tribal monitors if needed.
Treatment and avoidance of the newly discovered resources shall be consistent with the Cultural Resources Management Plan and Monitoring Agreements entered into with the appropriate
tribes. This may include avoidance of the cultural resources through project design, in-place preservation of cultural resources located in native soils and/or re-burial on the Project
property so they are not subject to further disturbance in perpetuity as identified in Non-Disclosure of Reburial Condition.
If the find is determined to be significant and avoidance of the site has not been achieved, a Phase III data recovery plan shall be prepared by the project archeologist, in consultation
with the Tribe, and shall be submitted to the City for their review and approval prior to implementation of the said plan.
Pursuant to Calif. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.2(b) avoidance is the preferred method of preservation for archaeological resources and cultural resources. If the landowner and the Tribe(s)
cannot agree on the significance or the mitigation for the archaeological or cultural resources, these issues will be presented to the City Community Development Director for decision.
The City Community Development Director shall make the determination based on the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act with respect to archaeological resources, recommendations
of the project archeologist and shall take into account the cultural and religious principles and practices of the Tribe. Notwithstanding any other rights available under the law, the
decision of the City Community Development Director shall be appealable to the City Planning Commission and/or City Council.”
Cultural Resources Disposition. In the event that Native American cultural resources are discovered during the course of grading (inadvertent discoveries), the following procedures
shall be carried out for final disposition of the discoveries:
One or more of the following treatments, in order of preference, shall be employed with the tribes. Evidence of such shall be provided to the City of Menifee Community Development Department:
Preservation-In-Place of the cultural resources, if feasible. Preservation in place means avoiding the resources, leaving them in the place where they were found with no development
affecting the integrity of the resources.
Reburial of the resources on the Project property. The measures for reburial shall include, at least, the following: Measures and provisions to protect the future reburial area from
any future impacts in perpetuity. Reburial shall not occur until all legally required cataloging and basic recordation have been completed, with an exception that sacred items, burial
goods and Native American human remains are excluded. Any reburial process shall be culturally appropriate. Listing of contents and location of the reburial shall be included in the
confidential Phase IV report. The Phase IV Report shall be filed with the City under a confidential cover and not subject to Public Records Request.
If preservation in place or reburial is not feasible then the resources shall be curated in a culturally appropriate manner at a Riverside County curation facility that meets State Resources
Department Office of Historic Preservation Guidelines for the Curation of Archaeological Resources ensuring access and use pursuant to the Guidelines. The collection and associated
records shall be transferred, including title, and are to be accompanied by payment of the fees necessary for permanent curation. Evidence of curation in the form of a letter from the
curation facility stating that subject archaeological materials have been received and that all fees have been paid, shall be provided by the landowner to the City. There shall be no
destructive or invasive testing on sacred items, burial goods and Native American human remains. Results concerning finds of any inadvertent discoveries shall be included in the Phase
IV monitoring report.
Inadvertent Paleontological Find. Should fossil remains be encountered during site development:
All site earthmoving shall be ceased in the area of where the fossil remains are encountered. Earthmoving activities may be diverted to other areas of the site.
The applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist approved by the County of Riverside.
The paleontologist shall determine the significance of the encountered fossil remains.
Paleontological monitoring of earthmoving activities will continue thereafter on an as-needed basis by the paleontologist during all earthmoving activities that may expose sensitive
strata. Earthmoving activities in areas of the project area where previously undisturbed strata will be buried but not otherwise disturbed will not be monitored. The supervising paleontologist
will have the authority to
reduce monitoring once he/she determines the probability of encountering any additional fossils has dropped below an acceptable level.
If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the paleontologist is not onsite, these activities will be diverted around the fossil site and the paleontologist called
to the site immediately to recover the remains.
Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of identification and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable paleontologists. The remains then
will be curated (assigned and labeled with museum* repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding fossil site numbers, as appropriate; places in specimen trays and, if necessary,
vials with completed specimen data cards) and catalogued, an associated specimen data and corresponding geologic and geographic site data will be archived (specimen and site numbers
and corresponding data entered into appropriate museum repository catalogs and computerized data bases) at the museum repository by a laboratory technician. The remains will then be
accessioned into the museum* repository fossil collection, where they will be permanently stored, maintained, and, along with associated specimen and site data, made available for future
study by qualified scientific investigators.
*The City of Menifee must be consulted on the repository/museum to receive the fossil material prior to being curated.
Maintenance of Parks and Landscaping. All parks, landscaping and similar improvements not maintained by a property owner’s association or individual property owner must be annexed into
a Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District, or other mechanism as determined by the City of Menifee (City).
Park Dedication. All Quimby or other park fees or dedication for parkland and park improvements shall be made or paid to the City of Menifee.
Fees
Subsequent Submittals and Fees. Any subsequent submittals required by these conditions of approval, including but not limited to grading plan, building plan or mitigation monitoring

shall be paid by the land divider and/or the land divider's successor-in-interest.
Maintenance Exhibit. Prior to map recordation, the developer shall prepare an exhibit that shows all open space lots within the tract and the maintenance entity for each lot. The exhibit
shall be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department and Public Works and Engineering Department.
Prior to Issuance of Grading Permits
Slope Grading Techniques. The land divider/permit holder shall cause grading plans to be prepared which show all cut slopes located adjacent to ungraded natural terrain and exceed ten
(10) feet in vertical height to be contour-graded incorporating the following grading techniques: 1. The angle of the graded slope shall be gradually adjusted to the angle of the natural
terrain. 2. Angular forms shall be discouraged. The graded form shall reflect the natural rounded terrain. 3. The toes and tops of slopes shall be rounded with curves with radii designed
in proportion to the total height of the slopes where drainage and stability permit such rounding. 4. Where cut and/or fill slopes exceed 300 feet in horizontal length, the horizontal
contours of the slope shall be curved in a continuous, undulating fashion.
2:1 Slopes. Grading of the slopes located directly behind Lot Nos. 4-23, as shown on the latest tentative tract map, shall be exempt from the slope grading techniques identified in Condition
of Approval No. 47. However, the slopes located behind Lots 4-23 shall be graded at a maximum steepness ratio of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical).
Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat (SKR) Fees. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the land divider/permit holder shall comply with the provisions of Riverside County Ordinance No. 663,
which generally requires the payment of the appropriate fee set forth in that ordinance. The amount of the fee required to be paid may vary depending upon a variety of factors, including
the type of development application submitted and the applicability of any fee reduction or exemption provisions contained in Riverside County Ordinance No. 663. Said fee shall be calculated
on the approved development project which is anticipated to be 206.8 acres (gross) in accordance with the TENTATIVE MAP. If the development is subsequently revised, this acreage amount
may be modified in order to reflect the revised development project acreage amount. In the event Riverside County Ordinance No. 663 is rescinded, this condition will no longer be applicable.
However, should Riverside County Ordinance No. 663 be rescinded and superseded by a subsequent mitigation fee ordinance, payment of the appropriate fee set forth in that ordinance shall
be required.
Nesting Bird Survey. Birds and their nests are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Codes. Since the project supports
suitable nesting bird habitat, removal of vegetation or any other potential nesting bird habitat disturbances, shall be conducted outside of the avian nesting season (February 1st through
August 31st). If habitat must be cleared during the nesting season, a preconstruction nesting bird survey shall be conducted. The preconstruction nesting bird survey must be conducted
by a biologist who holds a current MOU with the County of Riverside. Surveys shall cover all potential nesting habitat areas that could be disturbed by each phase of construction.
Surveys shall also include areas within 500 feet of the boundaries of the active construction areas. The biologist shall prepare and submit a report, documenting the results of the
survey, to the City of Menifee Community Development Department for review and approval. If nesting activity is observed, appropriate avoidance measures shall be adopted to avoid any
potential impacts to nesting birds.
Fee Balance. Prior to issuance of grading permits, the Community Development Department shall determine if the deposit based fees are in a negative balance. If so, any outstanding fees
shall be paid by the applicant/developer.
Grading Plan Review. The Community Development Department shall review the grading plan for consistency with the approved tentative map and the conditions of approval for the tentative
map.

Burrowing Owl Preconstruction Survey. Pursuant to Objective 6 and Objective 7 of the Species Account for the Burrowing Owl included in the Western Riverside County Multiple Species
Habitat Conservation Plan, within 30 days prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a pre-construction presence/absence survey for the burrowing owl shall be conducted by a qualified
biologist and the results of this presence/absence survey shall be provided in writing to the City of Menifee Community Development Department. If it is determined that the project
site is occupied by the Burrowing Owl, take of "active" nests shall be avoided pursuant to the MSHCP and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. However, when the Burrowing Owl is present, relocation
outside of the nesting season (March 1 through August 31) by a qualified biologist shall be required. The City shall be consulted to determine appropriate type of relocation (active
or passive) and translocation sites. Occupation of this species on the project site may result in the need to revise grading plans so that take of "active" nests is avoided or alternatively,
a grading permit may be issued once the species has been actively relocated.
If the grading permit is not obtained within 30 days of the survey a new survey shall be required.
If construction and/or disturbance of the site is suspended for a period of days (30) days or more, a new survey shall be required.
Fugitive Dust Control. The permittee shall implement fugitive dust control measures in accordance with Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 403. The permittee
shall include in construction contracts the control measures required under Rule 403 at the time of development, including the following:
Use watering to control dust generation during demolition of structures or break-up of pavement. The construction area and vicinity (500-foot radius) must be swept (preferably with
water weepers) and watered at least twice daily. Site wetting must occur often enough to maintain a ten (10) percent surface soil moisture content throughout all earth moving activities.
All unpaved demolition and construction areas shall be wetted at least twice daily during excavation and construction, and temporary dust covers shall be used to reduce dust emissions
and meet SCAQMD District Rule 403. Wetting could reduce fugitive dust by as much as fifty percent (50%).
Water active grading/excavation sites and unpaved surfaces at least three (3) times daily;
All paved roads, parking and staging areas must be watered at least once every two (2) hours of active operations
Site access points must be swept/washed within thirty (30) minutes of visible dirt deposition;
Sweep daily (with water sweepers) all paved parking areas and staging areas;
Onsite stockpiles of debris, dirt or dusty material must be covered or watered at least twice daily;
Cover stockpiles with tarps or apply non-toxic chemical soil binders;
All haul trucks hauling soil, sand and other loose materials must either be covered or maintain two feet of freeboard;
All inactive disturbed surface areas must be watered on a daily basis when there is evidence of wind drive fugitive dust;
Install wind breaks at the windward sides of construction areas;
Operations on any unpaved surfaces must be suspended when winds exceed twenty-five (25) mph;
Suspend excavation and grading activity when winds (instantaneous gusts) exceed fifteen (15) miles per hour over a thirty (30) minute period or more, so as to prevent excessive amounts
of dust; m. All haul trucks must have a capacity of no less than twelve and three-quarter (12.75) cubic yards;
All loads shall be secured by trimming, watering or other appropriate means to prevent spillage and dust;
Traffic speeds on unpaved roads must be limited to fifteen (15) miles per hour;

Operations on any unpaved surfaces must be suspended during first and second stage smog alerts; and,
An information sign shall be posted at the entrance to each construction site that identifies the permitted construction hours and provides a telephone number to call and receive information
about the construction project or to report complaints regarding excessive fugitive dust generation. Any reasonable complaints shall be rectified within twenty-four (24) hours of their
receipt.
Paleontologist Required. This site is mapped in the County's General Plan as having a high potential for paleontological resources (fossils). Therefore, PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF GRADING
PERMITS:
The permittee shall retain a qualified paleontologist approved by the City of Menifee to create and implement a project-specific plan for monitoring site grading/earthmoving activities
(project paleontologist).
The project paleontologist retained shall review the approved development plan and shall conduct any pre-construction work necessary to render appropriate monitoring
and mitigation requirements as appropriate. These requirements shall be documented by the project paleontologist in a Paleontological Resource Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP). This
PRIMP shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review and approval prior to issuance of a Grading Permit.
Information to be contained in the PRIMP, at a minimum and in addition to other industry standard and Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards, are as follows:
The project paleontologist shall participate in a pre-construction project meeting with development staff and construction operations to ensure an understanding of any mitigation measures
required during construction, as applicable.
Paleontological monitoring of earthmoving activities will be conducted on an as-needed basis by the project paleontologist during all earthmoving activities that may expose sensitive
strata. Earthmoving activities in areas of the project area where previously undisturbed strata will be buried but not otherwise disturbed will not be monitored. The project paleontologist
or his/her assign will have the authority to reduce monitoring once he/she determines the probability of encountering fossils has dropped below an acceptable level.
If the project paleontologist finds fossil remains, earthmoving activities will be diverted temporarily around the fossil site until the remains have been evaluated and recovered. Earthmoving
will be allowed to proceed through the site when the project paleontologist determines the fossils have been recovered and/or the site mitigated to the extent necessary.
If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the project paleontologist is not onsite, these activities will be diverted around the fossil site and the project paleontologist
called to the site immediately to recover the remains.
If fossil remains are encountered, fossiliferous rock will be recovered from the fossil site and processed to allow for the recovery of smaller fossil remains. Test samples may be recovered
from other sampling sites in the rock unit if appropriate.
Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of identification and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable paleontologists. The remains then
will be curated (assigned and labeled with museum* repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding fossil site numbers, as appropriate; places in specimen trays and, if necessary,
vials with completed specimen data cards) and catalogued, an associated specimen data and corresponding geologic and geographic site data will be archived (specimen and site numbers
and corresponding data entered into appropriate museum repository catalogs and computerized data bases) at the museum repository by a laboratory technician. The remains will then be
accessioned into the museum* repository fossil collection, where they will be permanently stored, maintained, and, along with associated specimen and site data, made available for future
study by qualified scientific investigators.
* The City of Menifee must be consulted on the repository/museum to receive the fossil material prior to being curated.
A qualified paleontologist shall prepare a report of findings made during all site grading activity with an appended itemized list of fossil specimens recovered during grading (if any).
This report shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review and approval prior to building final inspection as described elsewhere in these conditions.
All reports shall be signed by the project paleontologist and all other professionals responsible for the report's content (e.g., Professional Geologist, Professional Engineer, etc.),
as appropriate. Two wet-signed original copies of the report shall be submitted directly to the Planning Department along with a copy of this condition and the grading plan for appropriate
case processing and tracking.

The Project Archaeologist and the Tribal monitor(s) shall manage and oversee monitoring for all initial ground disturbing activities and excavation of each portion of the project site
including clearing, grubbing, tree removals, mass or rough grading, trenching, stockpiling of materials, rock crushing, structure demolition and etc. The Project Archaeologist and the
Tribal monitor(s), shall have the authority to temporarily divert, redirect or halt the ground disturbance activities to allow identification, evaluation, and potential recovery of
cultural resources in coordination with any required special interest or tribal monitors.
The developer/permit holder shall submit a fully executed copy of the contract to the Community Development Department to ensure compliance with this condition of approval. Upon verification,
the Community Development Department shall clear this condition.
In addition, the Project Archaeologist, in consultation with the Consulting Tribe(s), the contractor, and the City, shall develop a Cultural Resources Management Plan (CRMP) in consultation
pursuant to the definition in AB52 to address the details, timing and responsibility of all archaeological and cultural activities that will occur on the project site. A consulting
tribe is defined as a tribe that initiated the AB 52 tribal consultation process for the Project, has not opted out of the AB52 consultation process, and has completed AB 52 consultation
with the City as provided for in Cal Pub Res Code Section 21080.3.2(b)(1) of AB52. Details in the Plan shall include:
Project grading and development scheduling;
The Project archeologist and the Consulting Tribes(s) shall attend the pre-grading meeting with the City, the construction manager and any contractors and will conduct a mandatory Cultural
Resources Worker Sensitivity Training to those in attendance. The Training will include a brief review of the cultural sensitivity of the Project and the surrounding area; what resources
could potentially be identified during earthmoving activities; the requirements of the
monitoring program; the protocols that apply in the event inadvertent discoveries of cultural resources are identified, including who to contact and appropriate avoidance measures until
the find(s) can be properly evaluated; and any other appropriate protocols. All new construction personnel that will conduct earthwork or grading activities that begin work on the
Project following the initial Training must take the Cultural Sensitivity Training prior to beginning work and the Project archaeologist and Consulting Tribe(s) shall make themselves
available to provide the training on an as-needed basis;
The protocols and stipulations that the contractor, City, Consulting Tribe(s) and Project archaeologist will follow in the event of inadvertent cultural resources discoveries, including
any newly discovered cultural resource deposits that shall be subject to a cultural resources evaluation.

resources, in coordination with the Project Archaeologist.
COA Relocation. Prior to any grading in the associated areas, the Project Applicant shall meet with the Project archaeologist and the Consulting Tribe(s) in order to assess CA-RIV 11905
to determine the suitability for relocation to a permanent open space area and also to assess the area for possible unidentified cultural resources. The Consulting Tribe(s) shall
work with the Project archaeologist, Project Applicant, and the grading contractor or appropriate personnel to ensure that every effort is made to relocate the Features safely and to
discuss the most appropriate methods for relocation. Before construction activities may resume in the affected area, any visible artifacts shall be recovered and recorded, and the
features recorded using professional archaeological methods. The current Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Forms shall be updated, detailing which features were relocated, the
process taken, and updated maps providing documentation of the Features’ new location. The site record should clearly indicate that the Features are not in their original location
and why they were relocated.
COA Control Grade. Site CA-RIV-11905 will be impacted during grading and construction activities and the soils surrounding them will be disturbed. The Applicant, the Pechanga Tribe,
and the City will formalize a written agreement to identify the area that will be subject to “Controlled Grading” during construction of the Project. The Pechanga Tribe, the Applicant,
and the City will develop an exhibit that outlines the area subject to controlled grading, and that area will be highlighted on the rough grading plans, precise grading plans or other
off-site improvement plans that may impact this site. “Controlled Grading” shall include, without limitation, the slow and deliberate excavation and removal of soils employing the
smallest reasonable cuts in certain areas using light scrapers (for example Caterpillar 623 or 627), dozers (for example D6-D8), front end loaders, excavators, skip loaders, dump
trucks, and motor graders. A controlled grading plan will be monitored by the Project archeologist and Pechanga Tribal Monitor(s) to ensure the systematic removal of the ground surface
surrounding these features are monitored to allow for the identification of resources.
Results of all controlled grading activities shall be included in the Phase IV monitoring report.

DRAINAGE
General Conditions
MAP FLOOD HAZARD REPORT. Tract 31194 is a proposal to subdivide 205-acres into residential lots, open space lots, five detention basins and a park, in the Winchester/Antelope Valley
area. The project is located north of Scott Road, east of Murrieta Road, south of Garbani Road, and west of Bradley Road.
The project site is subject to several small watersheds to the southwest and northeast. Inlet facilities have been proposed to collect the flows from these watersheds. There is one major
watercourse that traverses the property from south to north. Approximately 16 acres of the proposed developed site drains to the southeast. The rest drains to the northwest. There are
five detention basins proposed.
Prior to City incorporation, the project was reviewed by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, who provided the following opinion:
A HEC-RAS analysis for the major watercourse running south to north was received on March 14, 2006. 4:1 side slopes, maintenance roads and rip-rap protection where velocities are greater
than 6 fps are shown on grading plans received on April 10, 2006. The offsite hydrology and flow rates may be construed as final. The HEC-RAS hydraulic analysis for the main channel
was only reviewed at the proof-of-concept level of detail. Final hydraulics will need to be submitted with the final engineering plans. Preliminary sizing for the proposed basins have
been submitted in an addendum to the Hydrology Study for TR 31194 that was received on April 18, 2006. The proposed footprints appear to be sufficient for increased runoff and water
quality mitigation. A "Drainage Exhibit" for Tentative Tract 31194 was received on April 18, 2006. It shall be noted that the grading plans and drainage exhibit mentioned above show
design elements that vary from the Amended No. 2 exhibit circulated by the County Planning Department. The new exhibits display alternate storm drain alignments, additional grading
and revised lot numbering resulting from the eliminations of lots.
The following issues shall be resolved during final engineering:
The main channel bisecting the site shall be designed in substantial conformance with the design concept depicted on the April 10, 2006 grading plans and April 18, 2006 drainage exhibit.
The development proposes to convey the main watercourse in a storm drain underneath the proposed side slopes for the central detention basin (Basin A-1). Embankment proposed over storm
drain shall have a top width equal to the required easement or put another way, the District policy of no side slopes in storm drain easements must be respected.
The down drains serving the 60 to 100-foot tall cut slopes behind the northeastern tier of lots present a significant design challenge. Safely engineering these down drains may require
measures including but not limited to velocity reduction rings, use of pressure pipe, cut-off collars, thrust blocks and slope anchors. These down drains would be the responsibility
of the HOA.
10 Year Curb / 100 Year Row. The 10 year storm flow shall be contained within the curb and the 100 year storm flow shall be contained within the street right of way. When either of these
criteria is exceeded, additional drainage facilities shall be installed. All lots shall be graded to drain to the adjacent street or an adequate outlet.
100 Year Sump Outlet. Drainage facilities out letting sump conditions shall be designed to convey the tributary 100 year storm flows. Additional emergency escape shall also be provided.
Perpetuate Drainage Patterns (Easement). The property's street and lot grading shall be designed in a manner that perpetuates the existing natural drainage patterns with respect to tributary
drainage area, outlet points and outlet conditions; otherwise, a drainage easement shall be obtained from the affected property owners for the release of concentrated or diverted storm
flows. A copy of the recorded drainage easement shall be submitted to City Public Works / Engineering Department for review.
Major Flood Control Facilities. Major flood control facilities are being proposed. These shall be designed and constructed to City and / or Flood Control District standards including
those related to alignment and access to both inlets and outlets. The applicant shall consult the City and / or Flood Control District early in the design process regarding materials,
hydraulic design and transfer of rights of way.
Map Greenbelt Facility Maintenance. The developer has proposed an onsite green belt channel to convey storm flows. This channel shall be designed to convey the approved tributary flowrate.
The proposed greenbelt facilities would be an amenity serving the development. The Flood Control District has indicated that it would be willing to maintain the lines and grade and
structural aspects of the channel but cannot be responsible for the landscaping. Maintenance expenses for the greenbelt park drainage system are expected to be high. The City and the
District must ensure that the public is not unduly burdened for future costs. Prior to the issuance of any grading permit, the developer shall enter into an agreement with the City
and the Flood Control District to guarantee the perpetual maintenance of the drainage facilities proposed by the developer. Said agreement shall be acceptable to the Flood Control
District and City. The maintenance mechanism may include participation in a City administered maintenance district that can assess special taxes sufficient to pay for the maintenance
of the greenbelt, a Property Owners Association or a combination of both acceptable to both the City and the Flood Control District.
Map Greenbelt Channel Design Criteria. The developer has proposed incorporating a greenbelt or 'soft-bottom' channel into the project. The following criteria shall be used to design
the channel: If velocities are erosive (i.e. greater than 6 fps) revetment for side slopes shall be proposed and 15-foot maintenance roads shall be shown on both sides of the conveyance
area. Where soft bottoms and revetted side slopes are proposed, provisions for maintenance of the buried portion of the revetment shall be incorporated into the channel design and also
into any required environmental mitigation/conservation plan. The channel design shall be developed using hydraulic runs that consider both the maximum depth and the maximum velocity.
The following criteria shall be used for selecting Manning's n value, unless substantiation for other values is submitted: When determining the maximum depth: for vegetated/habitat
low flow channel n = 0.10, for non-mowed channel outside of low-flow section n = 0.04, for mowed non-irrigated channel outside of low-flow section n = 0.030. When determining the maximum
velocity: for vegetated/habitat low flow channel n = 0.10, for the rest of the channel n = 0.025. If flows are non-erosive (i.e. less than 6 fps) then the side slopes may not need to
be
treated with revetment., and if they are to be landscaped, and not steeper than 4H to 1V, and 15-foot maintenance roads are provided on both sides of the conveyance area. The Manning's
n values given above shall be used to show that these flows are non-erosive, and to determine the maximum depth of water.
Map Increased Runoff. The development of this site will adversely impact downstream property owners by increasing the rate and volume of flood flows. To mitigate this impact, the developer
has proposed a detention basin. Although final design of the basin will not be required until the improvement plan stage of this development, the applicant's engineer has submitted
a preliminary hydrology and hydraulics study that indicates that the general size, shape, and location of the proposed basin are sufficient to mitigate the impacts of the development.
In final engineering, the developer shall provide updated copies of this preliminary hydrology and hydraulics study for review and approval by the Public Works / Engineering Department.
Map Increased Runoff Criteria. The development of this site would increase peak flow rates on downstream properties. Mitigation shall be required to offset such impacts. An increased
runoff basin shall be shown on the exhibit and calculations supporting the size of the basin shall be submitted to the City and the District for review and approval. The entire area
of proposed development will be routed through a detention facility(s) to mitigate increased runoff. All basins must have positive drainage; dead storage basins shall not be acceptable.
A complete drainage study including, but not limited to, hydrologic and hydraulic calculations for the proposed detention basin shall be submitted to the City and the Flood Control District
for review and approval by both agencies.
Storms to be studied will include the 1-hour, 3-hour, 6-hour and 24-hour duration events for the 2-year, 5-year and 10-year return frequencies. Detention basin(s) and outlet(s) sizing
will ensure that none of these storm events has a higher peak discharge in the post-development condition than in the pre-development condition. For the 2-year and 5-year events the
loss rate will be determined using an AMC I condition. For the 10-year event AMC II will be used. Constant loss rates shall be used for the 1-hour, 3-hour and 6-hour events. A variable
loss rate shall be used for the 24-hour events.
Low Loss rates will be determined using the following: 1. Undeveloped Condition --> LOW LOSS = 90% 2. Developed Condition --> LOW LOSS = .9 -(.8x%IMPERVIOUS) 3. Basin Site --> LOW LOSS
= 10%
Where possible and feasible the on-site flows should be mitigated before combining with off-site flows to minimize the size of the detention facility required. If it is necessary to
combine off-site and on-site flows into a detention facility two separate conditions should be evaluated for each duration/return period/before-after development combination studied;
the first for the total tributary area (off-site plus on-site), and the second for the area to be developed alone (on-site). It must be clearly demonstrated that there is no increase
in peak flow rates under either condition (total tributary area or on-site alone), for each of the return period / duration combinations required to be evaluated. A single plot showing
the pre-developed, post-developed
and routed hydrographs for each storm considered, shall be included with the submittal of the hydrology study.
No outlet pipe(s) will be less than 18" in diameter. Where necessary an orifice plate may be used to restrict outflow rates. Appropriate trash racks shall be provided for all outlets
less than 48" in diameter.
The basin(s) and outlet structure(s) must be capable of passing the 100-year storm without damage to the facility. Embankment shall be avoided in all cases unless site constraints or
topography make embankment unavoidable in the judgment of the City and the Flood Control District.
Mitigation basins should be incorporated into open space or park areas. Side slopes should be no steeper than 4:1 and depths should be minimized where public access is uncontrolled.
