1 Planning (707) COUNTY OF DEL NORTE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT 981 "H" Street, Suite 110 Crescent City, California Fax (707) Engineering & Surveying Airport Building Inspection (707) (707) (707) BOARD REPORT DATE: September 20, 2006 AGENDA DATE : September 26, 2006 TO: Del Norte County Board of Supervi FROM: W. Arthur Reeve, County Engineer SUBJECT: Klamath Beach Road Proj resentation of Options RECOMMENDATION FOR BOARD ACTION: Approve the Preliminary Engineering and Geotechnical Study for the Klamath Beach Road Repair Project submitted by SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc. as requested by FEMA, and concur with their recommendation that Option 2 ( Soldier Pipe Wall with Lagging and Tiebacks) is the construction method the County wishes to restore Klamath Beach Road to predisaster function and capacity. DISCUSSION/SUMMARY: On December 31, 2005, the Klamath River reached flood stage and caused damage throughout the southern regional of Del Norte County. One of the events was the landslide on Klamath Beach Road (see attached FEMA maps) that closed the road indefinitely. The County was fortunate that the National Parks Service (NPS) had an Acrow Bridge (previously known as a Bailey Bridge) in its storage yard and was able to lend the bridge to the County for 18 months, to temporarily reopen the Klamath Beach Road. FEMA requested the County (see Attachment B) to contract a consultant for a preliminary engineering and geotechnical study to assess the appropriate technically feasible, cost effectiveness, and environmentally acceptable approaches for restoring the roadway to predisaster function and capacity, and to recommend a preferred approach. The County contracted SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc.(DNCO Agreement No ) to develop this document for FEMA. Attached to this memo is the Preliminary Engineering and Geotechnical Study for the Klamath Beach Road Repair Project submitted by SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc. The study evaluates three road prism retaining systems that would

2 restore Klamath Beach Road to the predisaster function and capacity. The three road prism retaining systems evaluated are: Option 1 - Rock slope protection (RSP) buttress. Option 2 - Soldier pile wall with lagging tiebacks. Option 3 - Combinations of tie-back wall and mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall. Option 1- Rock slope protection buttress - is typically economical and construction simple. The draws backs are construction will be below the average Klamath River levels, permitting would be difficult, the road would be closed during the duration of the project, and the closest quarry with adequate rock is at least 40 miles away. Option 2 - Soldier pile wall with lagging and tiebacks - consisting of steel piles drilled into place with concrete lagging between each pile. This is similar to the Highway 101 Cushing Creek Project's retaining wall that Caltrans constructed in Most of the work can be performed from the temporary bridge, allowing the road to remain open during a major potion of the project. The piling and lagging can be installed without equipment getting close to the Klamath River. Option 3 - Combination mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) and soldier pile wall - combines the Option 2 with an MSE system. This could be less costly but the two drawbacks are: 1. The contrasting appearance of the MSE wall and soldier pile wall may not be acceptable. 2. The MSA wall construction would require the temporary bridge to be removed and the road would be closed for several weeks longer than Option 2. SHN will be presenting to the Board, a detail explanation of each of the three construction options. Staff agrees with SHN's recommendation that Option 2 is the most advantageous for the County's needs. Therefore, staff recommends the Board approve SHN's Preliminary Engineering and Geotechnical Study for the Klamath Beach Road Repair Project and forwarded to FEMA with Option 2 being the County's preferred alternative. ALTERNATIVES: The Board could choose either Option 1 or Option 2, and direct staff to prepare a 'Scoping Cost Estimate' for the Option of their choice. FINANCING : 75% Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding, 18.75% Governor Office of Emergency Service (OES) funding, and 6.25% Road Funds. OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT: Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Governor Office of Emergency Service. SIGNATURES REQUIRED: None

Pavement (6-inch asphalt over 6-inch base) cracked, roadway settled and a part subsequently fell into the Klamath River, making the road impassable. This road is the primary route for residents, emergency vehicles and a State Correctional Facility and must be kept passable. The damaged section of pavement is approximately 73 ft L x 9 ft W x 10 ft D (average width and depth). Slope supporting the road had been reinforced by a wall (45 LF x 4ft W x 20ft D) of filled steel bins and gabion baskets, which failed and was destroyed. Applicant had installed a temporary metal, pre-fabricated 20ft x 80ft bridge, with necessary ramps (2 x 50LF x 20ft V x 3ft D at bridge), as an emergency protective measure to allow passage of emergency vehicles (PW #KBR-IB). Scope of Work: WORK TO BE COMPLETED: Applicant will contract for a preliminary engineering and geolechnical study to assess appropriate technically feasible, cost effective and environmentally acceptable approaches for restoring the roadway to pre-disaster function and capacity, and to recommend a preferred approach. As a part of this study, the study consultant will develop "seoping cost estimates" for the eventual design and construction of the final engineered solution to allow the Applicant to accomplish the work. Cost of this study would be approximately $20,000, which is a standard in this area for this type of study on like.projects. The included SOW addresses the cost of returning the site to its pre-disaster function and capacity. Based on the findings of this study, a version of the PW will be written to address the actual scope of work.

7 CONSULTING ENGINEERS & GEOLOGISTS, INC. 812 W. Wabash Eureka, CA / FAX: 707/ Reference: September 19, 2006 W. Arthur Reeve, P.E. Community Development Department County of Del Norte 981 H Street, Suite 110 Crescent City, CA Subject: Preliminary Engineering and Geotechnical Study, Klamath Beach Road, Near Klamath, Del Norte County, California Dear Mr. Reeve: This document has been prepared at your request, to satisfy the preliminary engineering and geotechnical study required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in its project worksheet, Project No. KBR-1C, dated April 25, This study is intended to assess appropriate, technically feasible, cost-effective, and environmentally acceptable approaches for restoring the roadway to pre-disaster function and capacity, and to recommend a preferred approach. As a part of this study, SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc. (SHN) developed a scoping cost estimate for the preferred approach that includes design and construction services (Attachment 1). Design tasks would include detailed topographic surveys, preparation of plans and specifications, providing geotechnical design criteria, preparation of an engineer's cost estimate, and the FEMA 9999 construction management expenses. We have not included consultation for permitting, environmental studies and documents, or construction contract documents. Background During late December 2005 and early January 2006, the quantity of precipitation in Del Norte County (and most of northwest California) was well above average and resulted in high velocity flows in several rivers, including the Klamath River. The high flows in the Klamath River undermined the slope and roadway prism supporting Klamath Beach Road. The resulting slide made the road impassable to traffic. The slide is approximately 30 feet high and 75 feet long. See the attached Figure 1 for existing site conditions. The slide occurred approximately 1.25 miles west of US Highway 101 on Klamath Beach Road. Del Norte County maintains Klamath Beach Road and it is the primary access to the mouth of the Klamath River, a state correctional facility, and local residences. Del Norte County considers this access so important that the roadway must remain open during construction. A temporary ACROW bridge has been installed to maintain vehicular access (shown on Figure 1). \ \Zing\ pubs\2006\ _KlamathBridge\500\ rpt\prelimengr&geostudy-ltr.doc

8 W. Arthur Reeve, P.E. Preliminary Engineering Geotechnical Study, Klamath Beach Road, Near Klamath, Del Norte County, California September 19, 2006 Page 2 Alternative Analysis The major element to restoring Klamath Beach Road is the selection of the road prism retaining system; all the remaining elements (i.e. travelway) depend on the success of this system. We have evaluated three road prism retaining systems: 1) Rock slope protection buttress 2) Soldier pile wall with lagging and tiebacks 3) Combinations of tie-back wall and mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall Each system has advantages and disadvantages further described below. Typical sections for each option are attached for reference (See Figures 2, 3, and 4). Rock Slope Protection Buttress Option 1 is a Rock Slope Protection (RSP) buttress, also called riprap buttress. RSP buttress consists of rock courses placed upon an unstable slope to armor the slope in order to mitigate earth movement and erosion from storm runoff and river flows. The construction sequence typically consists of excavation for the foundation, installing filter fabric, installing the subdrain (if needed), and finally placing large size rock. Figure 2 shows an example section of a buttress for Klamath Beach Road. The RSP buttress is typically economical where stones of sufficient size and quality are available. Some of the advantages of the RSP buttress include: Construction is simple and can be accomplished with standard construction practices and equipment. The buttress is flexible and is not compromised by minor movements of the embankment. Appearance is natural and typically acceptable in rural areas. The drawbacks of the RSP buttress for Klamath Beach Road are foundation excavation difficulties, site constraints, maintaining access and proximity of material. Rock in deeper portions of the excavation is expected be hard, therefore the foundation excavation would be difficult and require heavy equipment. The site is constrained by the close proximity of the Klamath River resulting in a steep RSP face that will not be sufficiently stable under very strong seismic events. The construction will be below average Klamath River levels, resulting in special permit requirements with potentially extensive timelines. The excavation work may require the road to be closed for long periods of time including the removal of the temporary bridge. The closest quarry with adequate rock is at least 40 miles away, which would result in a substantial trucking cost. Soldier Pile Wall with Lagging and Tiebacks Option 2 is a soldier pile wall with lagging and tiebacks. A soldier pile wall consists of steel, concrete or timber piles driven or drilled into place with concrete or timber lagging between each \ \Zing\ pubs\2006\ _KlamathBridge\500\rpt\PrelirEngr&GeoStudy-ltr.doc

9 W. Arthur Reeve, P.E. Preliminary Engineering Geotechnical Study, Klamath Beach Road, Near Klamath, Del Norte County, California September 19, 2006 Page 3 pile and the addition of tiebacks. The tiebacks are ground anchors that provide additional lateral load resistance. Figure 3 shows an example section of a soldier pile wall for Klamath Beach Road. This type of wall is very practical for slip-out repairs. They are best suited for situations where excavation for a foundation footing is impractical. Additional advantages include: May be used to stabilize an unstable site. Can be constructed vertically with minimal excavation of adjacent competent site areas. Highly resistant to high velocity river flows during high water events. This type of wall is ideally suited for the constrained failure site on Klamath Beach Road. For this option, construction equipment can work from the ACROW bridge with limited road closures. In addition, the wall could be built to near finish grade without removing the temporary bridge, thereby maintaining access through the site. The soldier pile placement and tiebacks would require specialized equipment and expertise. We know of no contractor locally available to do this type of work, which is likely to increase equipment cost compared to more conventional alternatives. Combination MSE and Soldier Pile Wall Option 3 combines a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall with a soldier pile wall. The retaining system would consist of an MSE wall constructed on top of a soldier pile wall half the height of option 2. A full height MSE wall would not be practical, as it would require extensive excavation to provide a large enough foundation footprint. The MSE system uses welded steel wire mats, steel strips or polymeric materials as soil reinforcing elements. Figure 4 shows an example section of the MSE and soldier pile wall combination for Klamath Beach Road. This type of wall is very practical for slip-out repairs. The cost is likely to be lower than option 2 while providing a similar level of stability. The advantages and disadvantages are similar to option 2, such as requiring specialty equipment and contractor expertise. The drawbacks of the MSE system are appearance, site constraints and maintaining access during construction. The main drawback is the temporary bridge would be required to be removed when wall construction is within eight to ten feet of finish grade. The construction of the MSE wall would be difficult in the restricted space beneath the temporary bridge. The contrasting appearance of the MSE wall and soldier pile wall may not be acceptable. Conclusions and Recommendations We have reviewed three retaining wall alternatives for restoring Klamath Beach Road: 1) Rock slope protection buttress 2) Soldier pile wall with lagging and tiebacks 3) Combination of tie-back wall and mechanically stabilized earth wall We consider each of these three alternatives to be technically feasible, cost effective, and environmentally acceptable approaches. However, these factors are not equal between the \\Zing\ pubs\ 2006\ _KlamathBridge\500\rpt\PrelimEngr&GeoStudy-ltr.doc

10 W. Arthur Reeve, P.E. Preliminary Engineering Geotechnical Study, Klamath Beach Road, Near Klamath, Del Norte County, California September 19, 2006 Page 4 alternatives. Based on our analysis of these factors we recommend the soldier pile wall with concrete panel lagging and tiebacks. We believe this option is the most advantageous for the County's needs. Geotechnical Analysis SHN's geotechnical study began with a geologic reconnaissance and excavation of three shallow test pits on February 2, These investigations were conducted to support bridge abutment design for the temporary ACROW bridge that was recently installed. In March 2006, a subsurface exploration program was initiated to evaluate and characterize surficial soils and underlying bedrock conditions adjacent to the failed roadway section. Our subsurface investigation involved supervising the advancement and sampling of four exploratory borings (BH-1 through BH-4). A truck-mounted CME 75 drilling was used to advance the borings using flight auger, fluid-rotary, and wireline coring methods. Boring depths in the project area ranged from 29.5 to 52.8 feet Below Ground Surface (BGS). A total of feet of drill hole was conducted. The approximate boring locations relative to the existing site configuration are shown on the Site Plan, Figure 1. Soil and rock material encountered in each of the borings were logged in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System and the Bureau of Reclamation Rock Classification Standards. Bedrock and soil samples were obtained from each of the four borings. Wireline core specimens were retrieve from the more competent rock units, while relatively undisturbed thin walled tube and disturbed bulk samples were collected from the less competent materials (fill, colluvium, decomposed bedrock ) using a modified California (3-inch O.D.) split spoon sampler or a (2-inch O.D.) split spoon (SPT). All samples are presently being retained in our lab in Eureka. Geotechnical Site Conditions The failed road section appears to originally have been constructed through a combination of cutting into the slope and sidecasting of spoils onto the adjacent slope (i.e. cut-and-fill construction). This resulted in steep, moderate height cut banks along the uphill side of the road and relatively large fill prisms along the outboard edge of the road. A significant portion of the sidecast fill failed during past storm events. These failures were repaired by a combination of Gabion retaining walls and rock filled, steel bin wall retaining structures. The recent slide destroyed a significant portion of these retaining structures. The failure is classified as a block slide/ debris slide where the vast majority of the failure mass was swept away by the Klamath River. No significant enlargement has occurred since early March \ \Zing\ pubs\2006\ _KlamathBridge\ 500\rpt\PrelimEngr&GeoStudy-Itr.doc

11 W. Arthur Reeve, P.E. Preliminary Engineering Geotechnical Study, Klamath Beach Road, Near Klamath, Del Norte County, California September 19, 2006 Page 5 Published literature and geologic maps (Ristau, 1979; CDMG, 1987) of the region indicate that the Klamath Beach road occupies a hillslope underlain by bedrock of the Jurassic age Central belt of the Franciscan Complex (Figure 12). The Franciscan Complex is a regional bedrock unit that consists of a series of "terranes," discrete blocks of highly deformed oceanic crust that have been welded to the western margin of the North American plate over the past 140 million years. The Central belt consists predominantly of a melange that incorporates large blocks (up to miles in size) of more coherent broken and folded sequences of sandstone and turbidite sequences. Ristau's (1979) compilation map suggests that the hillslope underlying the roadway developed on a sandstone block within the Central belt. This bedrock type is described as "predominantly jointed, massive to thin-bedded, medium grain sandstone intercalated with thin shale beds." Materials Our exploratory borings revealed that the project site is underlain by moderately to intensively jointed, Central belt meta-sediments. The consistency of these rocks varies from soft, highly weathered (soil like) to very hard. Overlying the bedrock is 1 to 6 feet of alluvium, composed of silt, sand, and well-rounded gravel to cobble-sized clasts and/or fill derived from local sources. Most of the fill is gravelly soil previously placed as backfill in and behind the remnants of the existing retaining structures. Most of the site area is mantled by about 1-foot of asphalt and road base rock. The bedrock in the project area has been differentiated into three units (meta-sandstone, metasiltstone, and meta-sediment), based on distinction in origin and engineering properties. These units were interfingered and based on our subsurface investigation, exhibit significant variation in thickness, degree of weathering, and degree of fracturing over a relatively short distance. Shear zones filled with plastic clays and open fractures that resulted in complete loss of drilling fluid were encountered in all four borings at varying depths. In two cases (BH-3 at the 14-foot depth and BH-4 at the 17-foot depth), lost drill fluid emerged at the ground surface. In the case of BH-3, it emerged in the inboard ditch of the roadway and in BH-4, from the face of the slide scarp approximately 20 feet below road surface level. Detail descriptions of the site materials, drilling method, rock core recovery, RQD (Rock Quality Designation), standard penetration, and Cal barrel blow counts are present on the boring logs contained in Attachment 3. Because water is introduced during downhole advance of the drill bit during fluid rotary and wireline coring operations water-bearing zones were not readily identifiable. We anticipate high groundwater levels only during periods of heavy rainfall. \ \ Zing\ pubs\ 2006\ _Klama thbridge\ 500\ rp t\ PrelirEngr&GeoStudy-ltr. doc

12 W. Arthur Reeve, P.E. Preliminary Engineering Geotechnical Study, Klamath Beach Road, Near Klamath, Del Norte County, California September 19, 2006 Page 6 Conclusions Based on the results of our geotechnical.evaluations, it is our opinion that roadway restoration measures can be designed and developed as proposed, provided that noted conditions are considered during final design and risks are acknowledged: Bedrock varies considerably in hardness and degree of fracturing, but generally gets more competent with depth. Excavation with rippers and rock drills advanced with standard equipment can be anticipated. Soldier piles will need to be placed in drill holes advanced into hard unyielding bedrock in order to resist substantial lateral loads. Bearing capacity will not be a significant factor. The retaining structures will need to be designed to freely drain substantial quantities of groundwater that will emerge from bedrock fractures during heavy rainfall events. The roadway segments located immediately north and south of the segment to be restored are currently, and will continue to be, subject to low to moderate risk of earth movement/ slope failure regardless of the proposed restoration measures. Construction activities will be conducted in and adjacent to a site that is inherently unstable. Provisions should be made to protect workers and equipment from slope failures and rock fall. Considering the fact that these hazards are exacerbated by wet conditions, construction operations should be confined to the typically dry summer and early fall season. Excavation materials are not likely to be suitable for emplacement in the proposed structures; therefore, suitable disposal areas need to be located off site. Closing SHN prepared the findings, conclusions, and recommendations presented herein in accordance with generally accepted civil and geotechnical engineering practices at the time and location that this study was prepared. No other warranty, express or implied, is made. Because the project area is located in a dynamic environment that is subject to large scale, catastrophic events (great earthquakes, large storms, etc.), we cannot preclude that changes may occur in the future that could alter site conditions. Consequently, we reserve the right to make adjustments to this study that may be required by passage of time, change in condition, or in the consideration of additional or more pertinent data that may become available. Soil and rock materials are typically not homogenous in type, strength, and other geotechnical properties, and can vary between points of observation and exploration. In addition, groundwater and soil moisture conditions can vary seasonally and for other reasons. SHN does not and cannot have a complete knowledge of the subsurface conditions underlying a site. The conclusions and recommendations presented in this study are based upon the findings at the points of exploration, interpolation and extrapolation of information between and beyond the points of observation, and are subject to confirmation of the conditions revealed by construction. \ \Zing\ pubs\2006\ _KlamathBridge\500\rpt\PrelirnEngr&GeoStudy-Itr.doc
