CEMEX Eliot Quarry

Geotechnical Characterization Report

Alameda County, California
Page 2
The quarry is located between Stanley Boulevard and the Arroyo Del Valle. Lakes A and B are
transected by Isabel Avenue. Access to the quarry is located on Stanley Boulevard which is
adjacent to Lake J and parallels Arroyo Del Valle. Figures 1 and 2 show the location of the
CEMEX Eliot Quarry.

This Report reflects the reviews and comments by the County of Alameda’s geotechnical reviewer,
ENGEO, Inc. (ENGEO) of San Ramon, California.

1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this report is to provide the background information and results of all of the prior
studies, field testing, and lab analyses that are used in the Lake Evaluation Reports at Eliot Quarry
(KANE GeoTech, 2015a, 2015b, 2015c). The Lake Evaluation Reports are where the results of
the slope stability analyses are presented for each lake.

1.2 Scope of Work

The scope of services provided by KANE GeoTech included the following:

1. Literature Review. KANE GeoTech reviewed existing literature and other archived materials
such as geotechnical investigations, maps, and aerial images. CEMEX made available
previous reports and exploration drill logs for the site. A stratigraphic history of the area was
constructed and used to interpret the depositional environment of the Livermore Formation.

2. Geotechnical Investigation. CEMEX retained a drilling contractor to drill and sample the site.
KANE GeoTech performed pocket penetrometer strength testing and collected grab samples
for further analyses. Split spoon tests were obtained by the driller at locations and depths
determined by KANE GeoTech in the field depending on the strata encountered.

3. Materials Testing. Laboratory testing was performed on samples to evaluate moisture content
and density, Atterberg limits, grain size, USCS identification, and shear strength.
