It was formerly <br />aused car lot with an asphaltic cover across the entire site with a small office is the rear <br />of the. <br />,'property. <br />3.1 T'MGRAP14Y <br />Tbr topography of this area is generally flat. Elevation range across the site, <br />generally 10 to 15 feet above mean sea 3evel. <br />3;2 ragoLOGY <br />Regionally, the subject site is located in the Great Central Valley Geomorpbic <br />Province. The Great Valley or Central Valley is a nearly flat alluvial plain extending from <br />We Tebaebipi Mountains on the South to the Klamath Mountains on the North and from <br />the Sierra Nevada on the East, to the Coast Ranges on the West. <br />the valley is about 450 miles long and has an average width of about 50 miles. Overall <br />elevations of the alluvial plain are generally just a' few hundred feet above sea level to <br />about 1,000 feet above sea level. <br />Geologically, The Great Valley is a large elongated Northwest-trending asymmetric <br />structural trough that has been filled with a tremendously thick sequence of sedimenta <br />ranging iu_age from Jurassic to recent.. This asymmetric geosyncline has a long stable <br />Eeuern shelf supported by the subsurface continuation of the granitic Sierra slope and a <br />short Western flauk expressed by the upturned edges of the basin sediments. The basin has <br />a regional Southward tilt, which is interrupted by two significant cross-valley faults. The <br />is t; <br />northernmost fault, the Stockton fault, is the boundary used by most geologist to separate <br />the Great Valley Basin into two sub-basiru, the Sacramento and San Joaquin. The other <br />great cross-fault lies near the Soutbern extremity of the basin and has been named the White <br />Wolf fault. <br />
