West of the site lies <br /> the Great Central Valley of California, a major agricultural producing region. In <br /> this area are flat-lying continental sediments that dip slightly to the west and <br /> overlie steeply dipping metamorphic rocks. No known earthquake faults exist on <br /> or near the site. <br /> k <br /> Exploratory borings encountered the Turlock Lake Formation and the Laguna <br /> Formation_ The Turlock Lake Formation is Pleistocene Age arkosic alluvium <br /> consisting of mostly fine sand, silt, and clay, and some pebbles of granitic and <br /> metamorphic rock. The Turlock Lake Formation is typically reddish brown in <br /> color and contains a high percentage(20%to 401/o) of silt and clay. It is generally <br /> encountered in the upper 5 to 10 feet of the borings located east of Cord Road. <br /> The Laguna Formation is Pliocene Age arkosic glacial meltwater alluvium <br /> consisting of sand, silt, and gravel of quartz and metamorphic rock. The Laguna <br /> Formation is stratigraphically located beneath the Turlock Lake Formation. <br /> Distribution Copy Page I of 14 August 2, 2006 <br />
