Re: Geotechnical Data Report China Beach Wall and Slope Stabilization San Francisco, California
Introduction
This letter summarizes our geotechnical exploration, laboratory testing and recommendations regarding stabilization of several existing retaining structures and a landslide within the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy’s (GGNPC) China Beach in San Francisco, California. The site is located near the Sea Cliff neighborhood in northwest San Francisco, as shown on the Site Location Map, Figure 1. We previously provided a geotechnical evaluation of the walls to provide temporary shoring recommendations as summarized in our letter dated October 10, 2017. Our current scope of services has included a site reconnaissance, subsurface exploration, geotechnical and environmental laboratory testing, and preparation of this report.
Project Description
We understand the project generally includes developing designs for rehabilitation of the Bathhouse and associated site work to meet the needs of the NPS Ocean Rescue program and a public program, and schematic designs for site infrastructure repairs which includes retaining wall repair, slope stabilization, wastewater system repair, and potable water service repair.
The primary geotechnical portions of the project include retaining wall and slope stabilization. We reviewed available geologic and other data pertaining to the existing walls as listed below.

Site Reconnaissance and Surface Conditions
We performed an initial site reconnaissance September 2017 and supplemental reconnaissance in August 2018 to observe site conditions. China Beach is located within a small cove below a northerly-facing slope that ascends upward toward Sea Cliff Avenue. Existing improvements include an approximately 10,000-square-foot parking area at the southern end of the site, and an approximately 10- to 15-foot-wide, asphalt-paved service road which provides access to the beach from the parking area above. A “bathhouse” structure exists within the lower reaches of the site
Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy September 21, 2018 and provides restrooms and other amenities for park visitors. The existing site conditions are shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2.
Several retaining walls exist throughout the site to support various cuts and fills which were required to achieve the existing finished grades. The walls generally consist of either reinforced concrete walls or metal “bin” walls of variable dimensions and age. The metal bin walls are shown on Figure 2 and were previously described by FHWA as follows:
Wall 1: This wall supports a portion of the China Beach parking area and abuts a cast-in-place concrete gravity wall at the western end of the parking lot. This wall is approximately 180 feet long, has a maximum height of 13.5 feet, an average wall height of 11 feet, and an approximate total face area of 1,980 square feet.
Wall 2: This wall abuts the upper and middle portions of the service road. This wall is approximately 200 feet long, has a maximum wall height of 14 feet, an average wall height of 9 feet, and an approximate exposed face area of 1,900 square feet.
Wall 3: This wall is located along the service road just above the beach facilities. This wall is 78 feet in length, has a maximum wall height of 5.5 feet, an average wall height of 4 feet, and an approximate exposed face area of 310 square feet.
Wall 4: This wall is located along the uphill side of the beach facilities building and is 240 feet long, has a maximum height of 8 feet, an average wall height of 7 feet, and an approximate exposed face area of 1,830 square feet.
Corrosion of the corrugated metal panels is evident along much of the wall face. The degree of corrosion varies from minor pitting and scaling to localized areas where corrosion has resulted in partial deterioration and failure of the wall lagging. Several photographs from our 2017 site reconnaissance showing the condition of the bin walls are presented in Appendix A.
Regional Geology and Seismicity
Regional geologic mapping by the United States Geological Survey indicates the southern portion of the site is primarily underlain by Quaternary-age dune sand deposits. The northern portions of the site near the shoreline are mapped as a mixture of Quaternary beach sand, landslide deposits and bedrock units consisting of serpentine, sandstone and chert of Jurassic- to Cretaceous-age.
The 1958 mapping also indicates several faults located about a mile west of the site. A Regional Geologic Map is shown on Figure 3.
Seismicity The project site is located within the seismically active San Francisco Bay Area and will therefore experience the effects of future earthquakes. Earthquakes are the product of the build-up and sudden release of strain along a “fault” or zone of weakness in the earth's crust. Stored energy may be released as soon as it is generated, or it may be accumulated and stored for long periods of time. Individual releases may be so small that they are detected only by sensitive instruments, or they may be violent enough to cause destruction over vast areas.
Faults are seldom single cracks in the earth's crust but are typically comprised of localized shear zones which link together to form larger fault zones. Within the Bay Area, faults are concentrated along the San Andreas Fault zone. The movement between rock formations along either side of a fault may be horizontal, vertical, or a combination, and is radiated outward in the form of energy waves. The amplitude and frequency of earthquake ground motions partially depends on the material through which it is moving. The earthquake force is transmitted through hard rock in short, rapid vibrations, while this energy becomes a long, high-amplitude motion when moving through soft ground materials.
Regional Active Faults - An “active” fault is one that shows displacement within the last 11,000 years (i.e., Holocene) and has a reported average slip rate greater than 0.1 mm per year. The California Division of Mines and Geology has mapped various active and inactive faults in the region. These faults are shown in relation to the project site on the attached Active Fault Map, Figure 4. The nearest known active faults are the San Andreas, San Gregorio, and Hayward Faults which are located roughly 7.0 kilometers (4.3 miles) west, 11.6 kilometers (7.2 miles) west, and 22.7 kilometers (14.1 miles) east of the site, respectively.
Historic Fault Activity - Numerous earthquakes have occurred in the region within historic times.
The results of our USGS earthquake search catalogue indicates that at least 18 earthquakes with a Richter Magnitude of 5.0 or larger have occurred within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the site between 1900 and 2017. The approximate locations of these earthquakes are shown on the Historic Earthquake Map, Figure 5.
Probability of Future Earthquakes - The site will likely experience moderate to strong ground shaking from future earthquakes originating on any of several active faults in the San Francisco Bay region. The historical records do not directly indicate either the maximum credible earthquake or the probability of such a future event. To evaluate earthquake probabilities in California, the USGS has assembled a group of researchers into the “Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities” (USGS 2003, 2008, 2013) to estimate the probabilities of earthquakes on active faults.
These studies have been published cooperatively by the USGS, CGS, and Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) as the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Versions 1, 2, and 3. In these studies, potential seismic sources were analyzed considering fault geometry, geologic slip rates, geodetic strain rates, historic activity, micro-seismicity, and other factors to arrive at estimates of earthquakes of various magnitudes on a variety of faults in California.
Conclusions from the most recent UCERF3 and USGS indicate the highest probability of an earthquake with a magnitude greater than 6.7 originating on any of the active faults in the San Francisco Bay region by 2043 is assigned to the Hayward/Rodgers Creek Fault system. The Hayward Fault is located approximately 22.7 kilometers (14.1 miles) east of the site and is assigned a probability of 33 percent. The San Andreas Fault, located approximately 7.0 kilometers (4.3 miles) west of the site, is assigned a 22 percent probability of an earthquake with a magnitude greater than
6.7 by 2043. Additional studies by the USGS regarding the probability of large earthquakes in the Bay Area are ongoing. These current evaluations include data from additional active faults and updated geological data.
Field Exploration and Subsurface Conditions
We explored subsurface conditions within the project area with twelve test borings drilled with truck and portable equipment to depths between 6 and 26-feet below the ground surface. The locations of our borings are shown on Figure 2. We logged and sampled the materials encountered during our exploration as described in Appendix B. Selected samples of soil and weathered rock were tested in our laboratory to determine engineering properties. The subsurface exploration program is discussed in more detail in Appendix B. A Soil Classification Chart, Rock Classification Chart and boring logs are presented on Figures B-1 through B-16.
Laboratory testing to evaluate engineering properties includes determination of moisture content, dry density, unconfined compressive strength, percent passing the No. 200 sieve and sieve analyses. Most of these laboratory test results are presented on the boring logs and the sieve analyses results are present on Figures B-17 and B-18.
Environmental Testing
Background environmental testing was performed on upper 3.5 feet of soils from Borings 5, 6, 8 and 9. Samples were collected by drive sampler to acquire undisturbed soil in 2”x6” pre-cleaned and decontaminated brass liners on August 31, 2018. The drilling and sampling equipment were washed and decontaminated between samples and borings. We transported soil samples along with a chain of custody form to Analytical Sciences’ laboratory in Petaluma, CA. Sample were tested for heavy metals (CAM 17 metals), diesel/motor oil, chlorinated pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The results of the analytical tests are presented in Appendix C.
Interpreted Subsurface Conditions
The subsurface conditions encountered during exploration are generally consistent with the mapped geology. The soils behind Wall 1 in the upper parking area (Borings 1, 2 and 3) consist of clean sand fill over dune sand. In the central portion of the parking area, the sand fill and dune sand extend to a depth of about 20 feet. Farther to the east and closer to Sea Cliff Avenue the thickness of the sand fill / dune sand is about 10 feet. Underlying the fill /dune sands are few feet of clayey sands associated with colluvial and residual soils. Franciscan Melange bedrock was encounter a about 25 feet below grade closer to the wall near center of parking and 15 feet below grade at east end.
Subsurface conditions within the roadway (Borings 4, 5, 6 and 8) vary from the parking area down to the boat house. At the higher elevations, subsurface conditions consist of fill material over dune sand. At the lower elevations (near boathouse) subsurface conditions are clayey sand colluvial / residual soils over weathered bedrock at shallow depth. In general, would expect the fill layer to be thicker on the outer portion of the roadway and thinner on the upslope side.
Subsurface conditions on the slope between walls (Borings 7, 9 and 12) generally include a thin fill layer (less than a few feet) over dune sand in the higher elevations, and over clayey sand colluvial / residual soils at lower elevations.
Within the landslide area (Borings 10 and 11), subsurface conditions consist primarily of loose, clayey/sandy gravel with larger sandstone cobble and boulder inclusions. Caving conditions are present, and the bore holes would collapse upon auger removal. Borings were terminated at 10 feet due to difficulty advancing the hole with portable equipment through caving conditions and larger debris. Bedrock is exposed in the headscarp and near the toe of the landslide area.
Free groundwater was not observed in the borings. However, the borings were not left open for an extended period may not represent a stabilized groundwater level. Would expect groundwater flow along the top of the colluvium / residual soil / bedrock surface during winter months.
Geologic Hazards Evaluation
Based on our review of regional geologic mapping, site observations and subsurface exploration, we have evaluated a variety of geologic hazards which could impact project planning and design.
We judge that the primary geologic hazards to be considered include strong seismic ground shaking, seismic densification, erosion, and slope instability. Other hazards, including liquefaction, flooding, expansive soils, and others, are judged relatively insignificant with regards to the planned project and are therefore not discussed in detail. More detailed discussion of significant hazards is presented in the following sections.
Seismic Ground Shaking The site will likely experience seismic ground shaking similar to other areas in the seismically active San Francisco Bay Area. Earthquakes along several active faults in the region, as shown on Figure 4, could cause moderate to strong ground shaking at the site. Estimates of peak ground accelerations are based on either deterministic or probabilistic methods. Deterministic methods are commonly used for most residential and commercial development, while probabilistic analyses are typically used for “critical” facilities, such as schools and hospitals.
Deterministic methods use empirical attenuation relations that provide approximate estimates of median peak ground accelerations. A summary of the active faults that could most significantly affect the planning area, their maximum credible magnitude, closest distance to the center of the planning area, probable peak ground accelerations, and 84th percentile peak ground accelerations are summarized in Table 1. The calculated accelerations should only be considered as reasonable estimates. Many factors (e.g., soil conditions, orientation to the fault, etc.) can influence the actual ground surface accelerations.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis analyzes all possible earthquake scenarios while incorporating the probability of each individual event to occur. The probability is determined in the form of the recurrence interval, which is the average time for a specific earthquake acceleration to be exceeded. The design earthquake is not solely dependent on the fault with the closest distance to the site and/or the largest magnitude, but rather the probability of given seismic events occurring on both known and unknown faults.
We calculated the peak ground acceleration for two separate probabilistic conditions; the 2 percent chance of exceedance in 50 years (2,475-year statistical return period) and the 10 percent chance of exceedance in 50 years (475-year statistical return period). The peak ground acceleration values were calculated utilizing the USGS Unified Hazard Tool (USGS, 2018). The results of the probabilistic analyses are presented below in Table 2.

The potential for strong seismic shaking at the project site is high. The San Andreas Fault would produce the most significant ground shaking and the Hayward Fault is the most likely source for a future earthquake. The most significant adverse impact associated with strong seismic shaking is potential damage to existing retaining structures and improvements.
Evaluation: Less than significant with mitigation.
Mitigation: Mitigation for seismic shaking includes designing the structures in accordance with the most recent edition of the California Building Code (2016 CBC). For existing retaining structures, underpinning and providing additional lateral support is needed to significantly improve stability. New retaining structures would need to be founded on deeper foundation system and designed to withstand seismic surcharge loading.
Slope Instability Coastal bluffs are subject to periodic instability due to wave erosion at the base. Review of aerial photos (below) do not show significant changes in the bluff between 1938 and 2018. Retreat and bluff instability typically occurs in episodes which could happen at any point in time, but more likely during strong winter storms.
A landslide exists in the eastern portion of the project area. The head scarp is located immediately below residential development and the toe is at beach level. It appears the toe of the landslide is being eroded from wave action. Aerial photos show a lack of vegetation growth within the landslide area over time, indicating active, shallow soil movement. Subsurface exploration within the landslide encountered unstable, collapsible soils to depths in excess of 10 feet. Based on site conditions and exploration, the potential for future instability of the landslide area is high.
Corrosion of the corrugated metal panels is evident along much of the wall face. The degree of corrosion varies from minor pitting and scaling to localized areas where corrosion has resulted in partial deterioration and failure of the wall. Retaining wall soil backfill has “run” out through the wall in locations where corrosion is more severe, and lagging has failed. There potential for additional corrosion and wall failures at the project site high.
We understand that construction drawings are not available for the existing bin wall structures.
However, information provided in the Contech Bin-Wall catalogue indicates the gravity structures are composed of a series of front, rear and transverse corrugated panels which form a “bin” that is backfilled with soil. A schematic drawing for a typical bin wall is presented in the catalogue which is included under Appendix D.
July 1938
The potential for slope instability at the site to affect existing improvements or off-site residential property is moderate to high.
Evaluation: Significant unavoidable and less than significant with mitigation.
Mitigation: The potential for slope instability associated with coastal bluff retreat is a significant unavoidable hazard the exists. The seawall below the bathhouse and more resistant bedrock areas result in slower erosion and reduce the potential for instability.
Stability of the active landslide should be improved, or the landslide repaired.
Improvement could include a retaining structure or placement of large rip-rap at the toe of the landslide to reduce erosion. Retaining structures could be constructed to support the landslide scarp and reduce the potential to undermine upslope properties. Scarp and landslide stabilization could also geobrugg mesh with rock
May 2018 anchors. Repair of the landslide could include excavation of landslide material, installation of subsurface drainage, and reconstruction with a reinforced earth slope.
Repair could also be performed with a series of retaining structures.
Repair of the more significantly deteriorated walls (e.g. the east and west end of Wall
1) should be performed soon to prevent continued raveling of the sand backfill which could undermine upslope improvements. The existing walls should be repaired and stabilized. One method well suited to the site conditions is a new reinforced shotcrete facing on the existing metal bin wall with soil nails installed through the walls as needed for increase stability.
Erosion Sandy soils on moderately steep slopes or clayey soils on steep slopes are susceptible to erosion when exposed to concentrated surface water flow. The potential for erosion is increased when established vegetation is disturbed or removed during normal construction activity. The project site lies in steeply-sloping terrain and is underlain by loose to medium-dense sandy soils which are prone to erosion. Currently the storm drainage system discharges through the seawall below the bathhouse, and we did not observe any significant erosion near the outfall.
Evaluation: Less than significant with mitigation.
Mitigation: Existing surface and subsurface drainage improvements and utilities should be evaluated to determine existing conditions and repaired as needed. Erosion control measures during and after construction should be in accordance with a prepared Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and should conform to the most recent version of the California Stormwater Quality Association.
Seismic Densification Seismic ground shaking can induce settlement in unsaturated, loose, granular soils. Settlement occurs as loose soil particles rearrange into a denser configuration when subjected to seismic ground shaking. Varying degrees of settlement can occur throughout a deposit, resulting in total and differential settlement of structures founded on such deposits.
Loose, granular soils were encountered throughout the site with the potential for seismic densification and settlement during strong ground shaking. Resultant settlements would likely be several inches given the density and thickness of the loose soils. Therefore, the risk of seismic densification impacting structures is generally high within the upper portion of the project site.
Evaluation: Less than significant with mitigation.
Mitigation: Mitigation measures should include underpinning existing retaining structures to reduce settlements associated with seismic densification. Ground improvement could be performed to solidify or densify loose granular soils. This would be a fairly extensive and expensive operation. Excepting to risk of post seismic settlements and repairing existing improvements as needed may be a more practical approach.
Environmental Contaminants and Hazardous Materials Properties with potential subsurface chemical contamination that require a grading or building permit may be regulated under the San Francisco Maher Ordinance: Article 22A of the San
Francisco Health Code and Article 106A.3.4.2 of the San Francisco Building Code. The Maher Ordinance covers areas with current or historical industrial use or zoning, areas within 100 feet of current or historical underground tanks, filled former Bay, marsh or creek areas and areas within 150 feet of a current or former elevated highway. Per the City and County of San Francisco Planning Department’s official map1, the site is not located within an area subject to the provisions of the Maher Ordinance.
We understand that environmental personnel from Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) will review environmental testing and provide consultation regarding the presence of hazardous materials.
Evaluation: Less than significant with mitigation.
Mitigation: Evaluation and mitigation of environmental issues should be handled by GGNRA or other suitably qualified professionals.
Supplemental Services
Supplemental services may include additional subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, geotechnical consultation, geo-civil design of the retaining structure, preparation of construction plans and technical specifications, and assistance during bidding and permitting. Future services may also include observation and testing during construction to confirm conditions are as anticipated and the work is performed in accordance with the contract documents. We can provide supplemental services as requested.
We trust that this letter contains the information you require at this time. If there are any questions or comments, please call.

Blows for the final 12-inch drive are recorded onto the logs. Sampler refusal is defined as 50 blows during a 6-inch drive. Examples of blow records are as follows:
25 sampler driven 12 inches with 25 blows after initial 6-inch drive
85/7" sampler driven 7 inches with 85 blows after initial 6-inch drive
50/3" sampler driven 3 inches with 50 blows during initial 6-inch drive or beginning of final 12-inch drive
NOTE: Test boring and test pit logs are an interpretation of conditions encountered at the excavation location during the time of exploration. Subsurface rock, soil or water conditions may vary in different locations within the project site and with the passage of time. Boundaries between differing soil or rock descriptions are approximate and may indicate a gradual transition.
