1.0 <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> This report presents the findings, conclusions, and recommendations developed from our soils and <br /> geology investigation. The study was conducted in accordance with our Professional Services agreement, <br /> dated May 27, 2008 approving Carlton's Scope of Work found attached to the Professional Services <br /> agreement. The report also contains the results of the field exploration and laboratory testing programs <br /> upon which our recommendations are based. <br /> 1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> The site is located west of Interstate Highway 5 and immediately west of the City of Lodi's White Slough <br /> Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF), within the City limits of Lodi, in San Joaquin County, <br /> California. <br /> It is our understanding the proposed site consists of one parcel totaling approximately 2.6 acres, <br /> identified as a portion of San Joaquin County Assessor's Parcel Number 055-130-16, and a part of the <br /> property addressed as 12751 North Thornton Road,Lodi,California. The area of the site is mapped on the <br /> Terminous Topographic Quadrangle, California, United States Geological Survey 7.5-minute series <br /> topographic map and lies in Section 24, Township 3 North, Range 5 East, Mount Diablo Base and <br /> Meridian. <br /> The proposed project is anticipated to consist of a single GE frame 7 FA,a heat recovery steam generator, <br /> a steam turbine, six-cell wet cooling tower, and ancillary equipment. The project will receive recycled <br /> water from WPCF. <br /> 1.2 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK <br /> The purpose of the soils and geology report was to evaluate the existing geotechnical and geologic <br /> conditions within the project study area and identify potential geotechnical constraints that could <br /> impact planning, design and construction of the proposed power project. The main objectives were to <br /> characterize the subsurface materials,identify potential seismic and geologic hazards, and document our <br /> findings, conclusions and recommendations in this report. This report presents preliminary evaluations <br /> of geologic and geotechnical conditions on the site and are not intended for design. Design-level <br /> geotechnical investigations are recommended to estimate engineering parameters appropriate for design <br /> of the facility. <br /> The scope of our land capability investigation included the following: <br /> • Site visit to observe geological conditions; <br /> • Review published reference documents relating to the geological conditions in the site area; <br /> and <br /> • Preparation of this report. <br /> Activities performed in addressing the points listed above included the following: <br /> • Existing geologic and geotechnical reports,stereoscopic aerial photographs and topographic <br /> maps were reviewed to describe the topography,soils,mineral resources,regional seismicity, <br /> and geologic conditions of the subject property and surrounding area. Historical information <br /> was obtained and reviewed from the Environmental Data Resources Inc. <br /> Project No.5593-01-05 C A R LT O <br /> 7/29/2008 1 Engineering Inc . <br /> NCPA GFS.doc <br />
