EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At your request, we have completed a supplementary fault evaluation of the potential for
surface fault-rupture hazard within the proposed 55.47±-acre Lake Elsinore View
Apartment project as referenced above. This work supplements our previous study on
the adjacent parcel to the west (Terra Geosciences, 2015). The purpose for this
additional work was to extend the fault zone encountered in our previous study
performed along the west (13.59± acres) onto the added parcels to the east (41.88±
acres).
In summary, it was found that there are active fault zones that traverse through the
subject property, which requires establishment of a "Restricted-Use Zone" for
"habitable" building purposes. This zone along with the deemed "Buildable Areas" have
been determined by subsurface exploration supplemented with survey data for
documentation purposes. This report has been prepared utilizing the suggested
"Guidelines for Evaluating the Hazard Surface Fault Rupture" (California Division of
Mines and Geology, Note 49) in addition to the "Technical Guidelines for Review of
Geotechnical and Geologic Reports" prepared by the County of Riverside (2000).
This opportunity to be of service is sincerely appreciated. If you should have any
questions regarding this report or do not understand the limitations of this study or the
data that is presented, please contact our office.

INTRODUCTION
At your request, this firm has performed a supplementary fault evaluation to include
additional property to the east that is located adjacent to the study previously performed
by this firm (Terra Geosciences, 2015). The revised project now includes a total of
55.47± acres as approximated on Property Boundary Map, Plate 1. However, as
requested, this supplementary work only includes a small portion of the southwestern
corner of the adjacent parcel to the east as depicted on Plate 1 (rectangle outlined in
purple).
We understand that the project site use has been revised and is now proposed for
development of an apartment complex and associated appurtenances, which includes
undetermined amounts of cut and fill grading. No grading or site plans were available at
the time this report was prepared. The subject property lies along the southeastern
edge of Lake Elsinore in the Lakeland Village area, in the City of Lake Elsinore,
Riverside County, California, and contains the following parcels; Assessor's Parcel Nos.
371-150-001, -002, -009, -010, and ; 371-090-001, -002, , and ; and 371-
160-007 (the parcels that were added to this study are shown in red).
SCOPE OF SERVICES
As authorized by you, the following services were performed during this study:
Review of available published and unpublished geologic/geophysical data in
our files pertinent to the site, including our previous study on the adjacent
parcel to the west.
Photogeologic analysis of stereoscopic pairs of aerial photographs that were
obtained from the Riverside County Flood Control District and other sources.
➢ Geologic field reconnaissance of the site by a State of California licensed
Certified Engineering Geologist.
Subsurface investigation by means of stratigraphic logging of 252 lineal feet of
exploratory trench, up to 17± feet in depth.
Field accompaniment with the project land surveyor (Dennis Janda Inc.,
Temecula, California) to delineate the necessary survey locations which
included the exploratory trench limits and fault locations.
y Field meeting with the Riverside County Geologist (Mr. Dan Walsh) for the
purpose of viewing the exploratory trenching and discussing our findings.
➢ Preparation of this report, which presents the results of our findings,
conclusions, and recommendations relating to the potential for surface fault
rupture at the site, with respect to the proposed development.

PROJECT SUMMARY
At its nearest point, the project site is located approximately 700± feet to the west of an
established Earthquake Fault Zone that is associated with the mapped termination of
the Elsinore Fault Zone (Wildomar Fault), as mapped by the California Geological
Survey (Bryant and Hart, 2007). The location of this fault zone is shown on Figure 1
below as indicated by the light purple shaded area, with the Wildomar Fault shown as
the orange line. Although the site is not included within a State designated Earthquake
Fault Zone, the property is however shown to be located within a designated County
Fault Zone as also indicated on Figure 1 below (light red shading). The orange shaded
regions shown on this map are the fault zone limits that are included within the city limits
of Lake Elsinore.

PHOTOGEOLOGIC SUMMARY
A detailed review of pertinent stereoscopic aerial photographs was performed for this
supplemental study for the purposes of evaluating the geomorphology of the site,
specifically for the presence of photogeologic features (e.g. linear topography, tonal
contrasts, etc.) that may traverse through the subject property. Eight sets of
photographs at various scales were reviewed between the years 1938 to 2010 (see
references in Appendix D for a listing), that were obtained from the Riverside County
Flood Control Department and U.S. Department of Agriculture. In addition, the historical
imagery database of Google Earth (GoogleTm Earth, 2013) was also utilized.
Review of these photographs revealed two linear geomorphic features that traverse
through the subject property along the west and are approximated on the accompanying
topographic map, as shown on Figure 2 below. The two lineaments traverse along a
northwest-southeast direction along the northern and southern base of the hill within the
west-central potion of the site. This feature is expressed as linear topography that
forms a fairly sharp geomorphic boundary delineated by a scarp on the south side of the
hill, with a subdued expression on the north, due to lake sediment deposition. Due to
the recent sediment deposition from Lake Elsinore and local flooding, the lineations
could not be traced farther to the east, wherein the hill becomes topographically
submerged. Other than the two delineated lineaments as presented on Figure 2 below,
no photogeologic features unrelated to flooding and/or historic lake levels were
observed to traverse through the site, based on the aerial photographs reviewed.

TERRA GEOSCIENCES
Project No. 152772-2 Page 4
Of importance to note is the presence of water that is delineated on the topographic
base map that surrounds the west-central elevated portion of the site. The blue
hachured symbol indicates submerged areas or lands subject to inundation. This area
was evident as being inundated in the 1938 and 1980 photographs reviewed, with the
water having a "lagoon-like" appearance south of the hill. The area south and to the
east of the hill within the west-central potion of the site clearly verifies that lacustrine
earth materials have been deposited in the past within these localities.
Lake Elsinore is supplied by inflow from the San Jacinto River and local watershed
runoff which eventually can increase the water elevation in the lake until the outflow
channel elevation of 1255 feet is reached, thus resulting in discharge of lake flows to
Temescal Creek. During significant storm events, if the inflow to Lake Elsinore is
greater than the outlet channel capacity, the surface water elevation of the lake will
continue to rise until it reaches 1262 feet, resulting in the potential to reach the lake
levee top elevation of 1265 feet (E.V.M.W.D., 2015). During this supplemental
investigation, the water level elevation was around 1232± feet.
FIELD RECONNAISSANCE
Surficial reconnaissance performed during our field investigation revealed a prominent
topographic hill within the west-central portion of the site. Based on the known local
faulting, this hill is suspected of being a localized pressure ridge, such as Rome Hill,
located just to the east. Pressure ridges can form where lateral motions on a typically
curving fault will force rocks into a smaller space, resulting in pushing them upward, of
which has formed the small hill situated within the west-central portion of the site.
These ridges, or hills, are then bounded on both sides by a fault. The predominance of
the added property for this supplemental study is relatively flat-lying and is covered by a
growth of annual weeds and grasses. These areas did not provide any geomorphic or
visual indications suggestive of fault-related features. Only a very small portion of the
hill is exposed within the supplemental study area, which then becomes buried by lake
sediments farther to the east.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
Two supplementary exploratory trenches (T-5 and T-6) were excavated ranging in depth
from 14± to 17± feet. These trenches were excavated in a general northeast to
southwest direction, being near normal to the general trend of the Elsinore Fault Zone.
The surveyed locations of all the exploratory trenches are presented on the Restricted-
Use Zone Map and the Detailed Fault Zone Map, included as Plates 2 and 3,
respectively. Graphic logs of the previous exploratory trenches excavated on this
property (T-1 through T-4, seven sheets) are provided for continuity and comparative
purposes within Appendix A. The supplementary Exploratory Trenches T-5 and T-6
excavated for this study were logged at a scale of one inch equals four and five feet
TERRA GEOSCIENCES
Project No. 152772-2 Page 5
(horizontal and vertical), respectively, and appear within Appendix B, and depict the
structure and lithologic nature of the earth materials encountered locally. The
southeastern trench side-wall was continuously logged for all of the trenches.
In general, the earth materials that were encountered within all of the trenches
excavated for both studies consisted of Holocene to late Pleistocene age Iacustrine and
fluvial deposits, along with Pleistocene age sedimentary bedrock of the Pauba
Formation, and are described in more detail below. In addition, localized historical
deposits of artificial fill mantle portions of the site on both sides of the hill along the west
but were not locally encountered within the supplemental trenches excavated for this
study. These fill materials were placed sometime between the years 1980 and 1990
based on our photogeologic review.
A description of each earth material unit encountered in our previous investigation
(Trenches T-1 through T-4) is provided in Appendix A (see Lithologic Descriptions,
Page A-2) that describe their main physical characteristics (i.e. color, grain size, soil
structure, density/induration, etc.) along with an accompanying legend (Page A-1). The
detailed summary of these trenches has not been reproduced for this supplemental
report but can be reviewed in our previous report (Terra Geosciences, 2015) if
necessary. The lithologic descriptions for the two current trenches excavated for this
supplemental study (Exploratory Trenches T-5 and T-6) are provided in Appendix B on
Page B-2. These lithologic descriptions should be referred to when reading the trench
summaries for T-5 and T-6 given below. Also included within Appendix B is a legend,
which groups the earth materials based on their depositional origins and estimated
ages, and a key to the symbols used on the trench logs (see Legend, Page B-1).
Exploratory Trench T-5
Exploratory Trench T-5 was excavated along a near-perpendicular direction to the fault
zone trend, totaling 128± feet in length. The intent of this trench was to further trace out
the fault zone encountered within the trenches along the west (Exploratory Trenches T-
1 and T-4), toward the added property to the east.
The earth materials encountered from Station 0+00 to Station 0+28 (and at depth to
Station 0+39) consist of interbedded sedimentary bedrock deposits of the Pauba
Formation (late Pleistocene), being units "A" through "D." These materials are generally
comprised of generally massive and indurated fine- to coarse-grained sandstone with
thin interbeds of silty sandstone and conglomerate, overlain by a mantle of indurated
clayey silty sand (paleosol). Surficially beginning at Station 0+28 and extending to the
end of the trench (Station 1+28) are unconsolidated fine- to coarse-grained silty sand
Iacustrine earth materials originating from deposition within Lake Elsinore, and are
considered to be late Holocene in age (Unit "E"). Directly below this layer (from Station
0+39 to 1+26) is Unit "F" which is also Iacustrine in origin and is comprised of a fine- to
coarse-grained silty sand that is slightly-loose to medium-dense (density gradually
increasing with depth), characterized by an abundance of calcium carbonate in the form
of blebs and stringers (Holocene). These materials were deposited during periods of
TERRA GEOSCIENCES
Project No. 152772-2 Page 6
very high lake water elevations that form the intermittent "lagoon" on the south side of
the west-central hill, which are in turn underlain by fluvial deposits at depth. These
fluvial deposits begin at Station 0+39 (juxtaposed along the fault zone) and are fine- to
medium- and fine- to coarse-grained silty sand earth materials (Units "G" through "J") of
late- to mid-Holocene age.
The bedrock of the Pauba Formation was noted to be somewhat disturbed and
fractured, containing numerous faults that offset different sedimentary beds. At Station
0+39, a significant fault was observed, which separates the sedimentary bedrock from
the lacustrine and fluvial (alluvial) deposits. This fault is believed to be the same fault
that was encountered within Trenches T-1 and T-4 to the west, where the sedimentary
bedrock was offset against alluvial materials. This fault was traced to extend up through
Unit "F" (Holocene) to the contact between the very recent (late Holocene) surficially
mantling Unit "E." This fault forms the southern margin of the west-central hill (as
encountered to the west) and is coincident with the aerial photo lineation as shown on
Figure 2. This fault is accompanied by a sheared alluvial zone (Unit "G") that is
variegated and fractured/faulted, which offsets recent age lacustrine sediments (late
Holocene) and fluvial deposits (Holocene), which extends to Station 0+52. Locally
where exposed, there may be as much as 26± inches of apparent vertical offset
between the Pauba Formation and these sediments.
Additionally, another fault zone was encountered between Stations 0+94 to 0+98 that
disrupts Holocene age lacustrine and fluvial deposits and was also traced to extend
upwards to the very recent surficial deposits (contact between Units "E" and "F"). Up to
48±-inches of relative offset was observed within the thick lacustrine deposits (Unit "F").
Neither fault was observed to disrupt the very recent age surficial silty sand deposit
(Unit "E"). This fault zone was not encountered within our previous Trench T-1 to the
west.
Exploratory Trench T-6
Exploratory Trench T-6 was also excavated along a near-perpendicular direction to the
fault zone trend, totaling 124± feet in length. The intent of this trench was to further
trace out the fault zone towards the east that was encountered within Exploratory
Trench T-5 excavated for this study, so that a proper fault zone trend and location could
be established. Additionally, the trench depth was extended to insure that the
sedimentary bedrock would be exposed so that proper stratigraphic and structural
correlation between Exploratory Trenches T-5 and T-6 could be established.
Extending across the entire trench length is Unit "F" which is lacustrine in origin and is
comprised of a fine- to coarse-grained silty sand that is slightly-loose to medium-dense
(density gradually increasing with depth), characterized by an abundance of calcium
carbonate in the form of blebs and stringers (Holocene). These deposits are the same
near surface materials encountered within Exploratory Trench T-5 and was found to be
up to 12± feet in thickness. Below this surficial mantling Unit "F" from Station 0+14 to
TERRA GEOSCIENCES
Project No. 152772-2 Page 7
0+60 are Holocene age silty sand fluvial deposits (Unit "K"), in turn underlain by late
Pleistocene age sedimentary bedrock of the Pauba Formation (Unit "L"). At Station
0+60 a significant fault zone was encountered which separates the sedimentary
bedrock from the alluvial materials as found within Exploratory Trenches T-1, T-4, and
T-5. This fault offsets the overlying Holocene age lacustrine deposits by up to 12±
inches locally were observed. South of this fault zone (Station 0+60 to 1+24) are
lacustrine deposits (Units "F" through "M") underlain at depth by various fluvial deposits
(Units "N", "I", and "J").
However, within these alluvial deposits, another fault zone was encountered between
Stations 0+80 to 0+84 that disrupts both Holocene age lacustrine and fluvial deposits
and was also traced to extend upwards to approximately four feet from the ground
surface. There was no evidence that the rupture extends to the ground surface locally.
This fault zone appears to correlate structurally and Iithologically to the fault zone
encountered within Exploratory Trench T-5 (Stations 0+94 to 0+98). This fault zone
appears to have disrupted the overlying lacustrine deposits (Unit "F") by up to 18±-
inches locally.
Exploratory Trenching Summary
The structure and lithology of the faults encountered in Trenches T-1 and T-4 and the
newly excavated Trenches T-5 and T-6 excavated for this supplementary study are all
similar and direct correlation between these trenches was possible.
The west-central, hillier portion of the site (between Stations 4+37 to Station 7+57,
Exploratory Trench T-1), was found to consist of well-indurated sedimentary bedrock of
the Pauba Formation that is highly faulted, sheared, and fractured, which is contained
within the fault zone that traverses through the site. These deposits were also
encountered at depth within the supplementary trenches T-5 and T-6. Beyond the
sedimentary bedrock materials both to the north and south directions (where explored),
it was found that there were both lacustrine and fluvial strata which consisted of a wide
time range of late Holocene to late Pleistocene age sediments.
After Exploratory Trenches T-1 though T-4 were cleaned, examined, and logged for, Mr.
David Jones (Riverside County Chief Engineering Geologist) was invited to view the
trenches and discuss our findings in the field (March 25, 2015). Additionally, the
supplementary trenches performed for this study (Exploratory Trenches T-5 and T-6)
were observed by Mr. Dan Walsh (Riverside County Associate Engineering Geologist)
on September 22, 2016.
Prior to backfilling, the limits of each exploratory trench excavation, along with the major
fault locations, were surveyed in our presence and under our direction by Dennis Janda,
Inc., Temecula California, for location and permanent documentation purposes. This
survey data was provided for our use in preparing the Restricted-use Zone Map and
Detailed Fault Zone Map, as presented on Plate 2 and 3, respectively.
TERRA GEOSCIENCES
Project No. 152772-2 Page 8
RELATIVE AGE DATING
The lacustrine deposits encountered range in age from recent to late Pleistocene in
age, with the more recent deposits located primarily south of the west-central hill. This
encompasses the entirety of the supplementary excavations for this study (Exploratory
Trenches T-5 and T-6). The relatively thin surficial sand deposits (Unit "E," Trench T-5)
are very recent and are underlain by increasingly older lake deposits (Units "F" and
"M"). These deposits are generally moderately dense and have formed localized
disseminated CaCO3 blebs and stringers, with occasional carbonate nodules.
The fluvial deposits are somewhat indurated and also have localized to very abundant
disseminated CaCO3 blebs and stringers (Exploratory Trench T-1) and are estimated to
range from the late Holocene to possible late Pleistocene. These ages are also
supported by the abundance of grussified clasts, most all of them felsic in composition.
The fluvial deposits observed within Exploratory Trenches T-5 and T-6 did not expose
CaCO3 deposits or grussified clasts, and are believed to be locally younger (late
Holocene). The underlying sedimentary bedrock materials encountered in the
exploratory excavations and as exposed in the hilly west-central portion of the site have
been mapped as the Pauba Formation (Qpfs), which are Pleistocene in age (Morton
and Weber, 2003).
It should be noted that an exhaustive search for datable materials (such as organic rich
sediments and/or charcoal) was performed in both the lacustrine and fluvial deposits.
However, none were found within the excavated trench limits that could be used for
radio-carbon age-dating purposes.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL:
Based on our study and review of available pertinent literature, development of the
subject site for the proposed apartment complex appears to be feasible from a surface
fault rupture hazard standpoint, provided that our conclusions and recommendations
are considered and adhered to as outlined below.
CONCLUSIONS:
Based on review of published geologic data, field reconnaissance, photogeologic
analysis, and our subsurface exploration, faulting was observed within the limits of the
subject property as indicated on the Restricted-use Zone Map and Detailed Fault Zone
Map, as presented on Plate 2 and 3, respectively. The faulting that was encountered
has been assessed to be active in nature (surface ground rupture during the past
11,000± years) based on varying localized features such as juxtaposed Quaternary
sediments against Pleistocene sedimentary bedrock of the Pauba Formation,
geomorphic expression, and the association with the active San Elsinore Fault Zone
TERRA GEOSCIENCES
Project No. 152772-2 Page 9
located just to the east of the site. This activity was clearly evident based on the offset
of recent sand channel deposits (less than 1,000 years) along the southern and central
fault sections.
No datable organic materials or charcoal was found during our subsurface exploration in
either the previous or current study which could yield absolute age dates. Based on the
recurrence interval of the Elsinore Fault Zone of 450 to 750 years (Treiman, 1998),
there should be numerous surface faulting events within these Quaternary deposits that
would have occurred since they were deposited. This suggests that there are no active
faults underlying the fluvial and lacustrine deposits, where locally explored, that are
beyond the limits of the actively faulted pressure ridge within the west-central portion of
the subject property.
Since the purpose of this investigation was to trace the southern-most fault that was
encountered within our previous study farther towards the east, supplemental
exploratory Trenches T-5 and T-6 were strategically placed along the extrapolated fault
zone orientation. Both trenches encountered the same fault structure where the
Pleistocene age sedimentary bedrock of the Pauba Formation is juxtaposed against
Holocene age alluvial deposits and was coincident with the same local direction. This
fault zone is the continuation of the faulting that was encountered within Exploratory
Trenches T-1 and T-4 to the west. However, the southern-most fault zone encountered
within Exploratory Trenches T-5 and T-6 does not appear to traverse through
Exploratory Trench T-1 that was excavated and logged during our previous study (see
Exploratory Trench T-1, Appendix A). It was noted that the appearance of the fault
zone becomes somewhat weaker towards the west and it is most likely that the fault
terminates before our previous trenching. Therefore, we have elected to terminate the
fault along the original property boundary between our previous study and the added
parcel to the east as shown on Plates 2 and 3. This fault appears to be en-echelon in
nature.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Restricted-Use Zone
A Restricted-Use Zone has been established within the northern and central portion
of the site ("orange" shaded regions), as presented on the Restricted-use Zone Map
and Detailed Fault Zone map, as presented on Plate 2 and 3, respectively. No
"habitable" structures for human occupancy (defined as 2,000 person hours per
year, or as determined by local agencies) should be constructed within the
delineated "Restricted-Use Zones." These setbacks are necessary due to the active
nature of faulting encountered during our subsurface exploration and also presumed
to be present where not trenched within the designated County Fault Zone in the
north. Conversely, all of the "green" shaded regions, as shown on Plates 2 and 3,
are areas where structures for human-occupancy can be built and is termed the
"Buildable Area."
TERRA GEOSCIENCES
Project No. 152772-2 Page 10
The west-central Restricted-Use Zone and associated building setback lines were
established by measuring 50 feet outward from the fault zone along a parallel
direction to the observed fault zone trend as shown on Plates 2 and 3. The northern
Restricted-Use Zone was established since Exploratory Trench T-1 did not
completely traverse across the County Fault Zone boundary. Therefore, it is
assumed that there may be an active fault located just beyond the end of the trench
(Station 0+00), thus requiring a 50-foot setback. The setback line was established
by measuring 50 feet southwest from the beginning of the trench (Station 0+00),
parallel to the County Fault Zone trend (South 72' East). Since trenching was not
performed in the northern portion of the added parcels, the isolated "Buildable Area"
that was established in our previous study along the northwest, could not be
extended eastward and was terminated along the property line between the old and
new property boundaries.
The limits of the exploratory trenches, established fault zones, and the associated
Restricted-Use Zones are considered accurate based on the provided survey data
form Dennis Janda Inc., as previously discussed.
2. Additional Work
If any future development is proposed to encroach within any portion of the
Restricted-Use Zone as delineated on Plates 2 and 3, additional subsurface
exploration and evaluation would be required.
3. Trench Backfill
We understand that the exploratory trenches were backfilled in an uncompactive
and/or unsupervised manner. Periodic settling of the trenching area may occur over
time. If settlement is of concern, such as for the placement of roadways, structures,
etc., then removal and replacement of these soils as compacted fill is recommended.
Such services should be supervised by a qualified geotechnical engineer. The limits
of these trenches have been properly surveyed and can be obtained from Dennis
Janda, Inc., Temecula, California.
CLOSURE
Our conclusions and recommendations are based on a surficial field reconnaissance
limited subsurface exploration, photogeologic analysis, and an interpretation of available
existing geologic/seismic data. We make no warranty, either express or implied.
Should conditions be encountered at a later date or more information becomes
available that appear to be different than those indicated in this report, we reserve the
right to reevaluate our conclusions and recommendations and provide appropriate
mitigation measures, if warranted.
TERRA GEOSCIENCES
Project No. 152772-2 Page 11
However remote, it is important to note that the potential for "new faulting" exists in the
region, due to its location to a seismically-active and complex geologic region. Collins
(1990) has described the process of "new faulting" and indicates that it is a normal
process where stress is applied to earth masses of any size. He notes that during an
earthquake, new faults can develop in several ways, such as by vertical extension (or
growth) of a pre-existing fault or fault zone; by horizontal extension of a pre-existing
fault or fault zone; by branching from a pre-existing fault or fault zone; and by faulting
related to, but not an extension or branch of, a nearby fault (e.g., faulting created within
a block of near-surface material subjected to coupling actions from nearby faults). It is
therefore prudent to assume that there is at least a remote probability that fault rupture
could occur at the site during a large nearby seismic event and that there is no way of
predicting actual possibilities and/or probable locations. Such potential occurrences of
"new faulting" should be made aware to the property owners so that they may decide on
acceptable risk levels, based on the locations of their property in relation to seismically
active areas.
It is assumed that all the conclusions and recommendations outlined in this report are
understood and followed. If any portion of this report is not understood, it is considered
to be the responsibility of the owner/contractor/engineer/governmental agency, etc., to
contact this office for further clarification.
