Dear Mr. Patel:
In response to your request, we have performed infiltration testing of existing fill soil and
terrace deposits in the area of the proposed driveway permeable concrete pavers at the
subject site. No groundwater was encountered to the maximum depth explored of 8.0-
feet in the boring and test pit excavated at the site. The approximate locations of the
boring and test pit are shown on the attached Plot Plan, Figure 1 and the Boring and Test
Pit Logs are attached as Figures 2 and 3.
Infiltration testing was performed by this office on October 23, 2018 in accordance with
the Open Pit Falling Head test method. The approximate locations of the infiltration tests
are shown on the attached Plot Plan, Figure 1 and the test results are shown on the
attached Falling Head Infiltration Test Data Sheets, Figures 4 and 5. The infiltration rates
based on the infiltration testing are 8.2 inch/hr for IP-I and 11.1 inch/hr for IP-2 (without
considering safety factors).
Completed I-8 and I-9 Forms are attached to this report.

Part 1 -Full Infiltration Feasibility Screening Criteria
Would infiltration of the full design volume be feasible from a physical perspective without any undesirable
consequences that cannot be reasonably mitigated?
Criteria Screening Question
Is the estimated reliable infiltration rate below proposed
facility locations greater than 0.5 inches per hour? The response
to this Screening Question shall be based on a comprehensive
evaluation of the factors presented in Appendix C.2 and Appendix
D.
Yes No
X
Provide basis: Two infiltration tests using Open Pit Falling Head test method were performed in the fill and terrace deposits
in the area of the proposed permeable concrete pave rs. The test results were 8.2 in/hr and 11.1 in/hr (without
considering safety factors). See "Infiltration Testing ... ", by Hetherington Engineering, Inc., dated October 29, 2018.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide narrative
discussion of study/ data source applicability.
2
Can infiltration greater than 0.5 inches per hour be allowed
without increasing risk of geotechnical hazards (slope stability,
groundwater mounding, utilities, or other factors) that cannot
be mitigated to an acceptable level? The response to this
Screening Question shall be based on a comprehensive evaluation of
the factors presented in Appendix C.2.
X
Provide basis: Infiltration in the area of the proposed permeable concrete pavers is considered acceptable from a
geotechnical standpoint provided that the geotechnical recommendations included in the "Geotechnical Investigation ... " are
implemented during design and construction.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide narrative
discussion of study/ data source applicability.

a
3
Screening Question
Can infiltration greater than 0.5 inches per hour be allowed
without increasing risk of groundwater contamination (shallow
water table, storm water pollutants or other factors) that cannot
be mitigated to an acceptable level? The response to this
Screening Question shall be based on a comprehensive evaluation of
the factors presented in Appendix C.3.
Yes No
X
Provide basis: Storm water pollutant concerns in the area of the proposed permeable concrete pavers are unknown at this
lime. The boring and test pit at the site with a maximum depth of 8-feet did not encounter groundwater. Infiltrated water will
migrate at least 8-feet before reaching groundwater. In addition, we are not aware of any known soil contamination present
at the site.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide narrative
discussion of study/ data source applicability.
4
Can infiltration greater than 0.5 inches per hour be allowed
without causing potential water balance issues such as change
of seasonality of ephemeral streams or increased discharge of
contaminated groundwater to surface waters? The response to
this Screening Question shall be based on a comprehensive
evaluation of the factors presented in Appendix C.3.
X
Provide basis: No ephemeral streams are present at the site. Groundwater was not encountered to a depth of at least
8-feet and we are not aware of any contaminated groundwater in the site vicinity.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide narrative
discussion of study/ data source applicability.
Part 1
Result
*
If all answers to rows 1 -4 are ''Yes" a full infiltration design is potentially feasible.
The feasibility screening category is Full Infiltration
If any answer from row 1-4 is "No", infiltration may be possible to some extent but
would not generally be feasible or desirable to achieve a "full infiltration" design.
Proceed to Part 2
Full Infiltration
*To be completed using gathered site information and best professional judgment considering the definition of MEP in
the MS4 Permit. Additional testing and/or studies may be required by the City to substantiate findings.

Would infiltration of water in any appreciable amount be physically feasible without any negative
consequences that cannot be reasonably mitigated?
Criteria

Screening Question
Do soil and geologic conditions allow for infiltration in any
appreciable rate or volume? The response to this Screening
Question shall be based on a comprehensive evaluation of the
factors presented in Appendix C.2 and Appendix D.
Yes
X
Provide basis: Due to providing a "Full Infiltration" result to Part 1, this criteria need not be answered.
See response to Criteria 1.
No
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide narrative
discussion of study/data source applicability and why it was not feasible to mitigate low infiltration rates.
6
Can Infiltration in any appreciable quantity be allowed
without increasing risk of geotechnical hazards (slope
stability, groundwater mounding, utilities, or other factors)
that cannot be mitigated to an acceptable level? The response
to this Screening Question shall be based on a comprehensive
evaluation of the factors presented in Appendix C.2.
Provide basis: Due to providing a "Full Infiltration" result to Part 1, this criteria need not be answered.
See response to Criteria 2.

Appendix I: Forms and Checklists
Screening Question
Can Infiltration in any appreciable quantity be allowed
without posing significant risk for groundwater related
concerns (shallow water table, storm water pollutants or other
factors)? The response to this Screening Question shall be based
on a comprehensive evaluation of the factors presented in
Appendix C.3.
Yes No
X
Provide basis: Due to providing a "Full Infiltration" results to Part 1, this criteria need not be answered.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide narrative
discussion of study/ data source applicability and why it was not feasible to mitigate low infiltration rates.
8
Can infiltration be allowed without violating downstream
water rights? The response to this Screening Question shall be
based on a comprehensive evaluation of the factors presented in
Appendix C.3.
X
Provide basis: This question requires the expertise of water-rights lawyers to determine if any violation can be expected
downstream by reducing the runoff via infiltration of the water into the bioretention basin.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide narrative
discussion of study/ data source applicability and why it was not feasible to mitigate low infiltration rates.
Part 2
Result*
If all answers from row 5-8 are yes then partial infiltration design is potentially feasible.
The feasibility screening category is Partial Infiltration.
If any answer from row 5-8 is no, then infiltration of any volume is considered to be
infeasible within the drainage area. The feasibility screening category is No Infiltration. s LL
