Willow Street Long Beach, California Dear Sir: Pursuant to your authorization to provide geotechnical engineering consulting services for the above referenced project, the accompanying Geotechnical Engineering Report has been prepared Based upon the subsurface conditions that were encountered during our exploration, the results of laboratory tests, and the findings from our liquefaction potential and earthquake-induced settlement analysis, it is our conclusion that the proposed development is feasible from a geotechnical engineering standpoint, provided the recommendations contained herein are incorporated into project planning, design, and construction. Structural support for the proposed buildings should be provided by conventional spread footing foundations that are constructed into compacted/engineered fill soils, The contents in this report should be reviewed in detail and be made a portion of the project design package. Please contact this office if any questions arise regarding the contents of this report.
