Navy Broadway Complex on the Waterfront of San Diego Bay.  

 

 

 

The subject is seismicity is very technical. The difficult nature of the problem requires guidance from world renown experts that have already dealt with the same Coronado fault in 2005 and 2006 as part of the Coronado Tunnel Technical Advisory Panel (TAP).     For the first TAP panel, information exchange was done by email, teleconferencing, and one meeting with all stakeholders.

Subject:         Solution to Outstanding Geologic and Seismic Issues, Navy Broadway Complex, Downtown San Diego, California

Reference:  Appeal to the CEQA Consistency Analysis, January 9, 2007.       
<http://www.laplayaheritage.com/Documents/CITY%20OF%20SAN%20DIEGO/NBC_Appeal_Presentation_20070109.pdf>

Dear City Council:

We are asking for your help in assuring that the Navy Building will not break ground in June 2007 (less than 6 months away) without a valid fault investigation. The Navy Building is the first building to be built. According to the lease, Manchester will “develop, design, fully fund, construct, up-fit and deliver to Government on or before June 27, 2009” the Navy Headquarter Building.   As discussed by Bill Cooper the aide the Representative Duncan Hunter, the new Navy headquarters should be part of the Federal Incident Management Plan for Domestic Emergencies. It should be a building to conduct Federal Activities during major Disaster, civil emergencies, crises management, and technical assistance.  During a civil emergency, like an earthquake on the Rose Canyon Fault Zone, we want the new  Navy Building to be secure so they can protect us. Right now it is looking like the Navy is going ahead with plans to start construction without a valid fault investigation.

Following the lead from the City of Coronado with respect to the same active Coronado fault traversing their tunnel project, please form a Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) with CCDC, and the Port of San Diego. The panel should consist of geologic and seismic experts, and concerned citizens such as ourselves. Dr. Hartsell went to graduate school at Caltech and Berkeley in Engineering and Applied Physics before becoming an orthopedic surgeon. Ms. Rhodes is a Civil Engineering registered in the State of California, with over 20 years of construction experience. We are willing to work for free and volunteer our time.  As the regional experts know the magnitude and direction of the Coronado fault, the membership of the new TAP can be the same as for the 2006 Coronado Tunnel project. After addressing the proposed new Navy Buildings, the TAP may come up with guidelines for fault investigations in the North Embarcadero area including the rest of the Navy Broadway Complex, the Old Police Station, and Lane Field Redevelopment.

That said, we are disappointed with your decision to not uphold our appeal of the Navy Broadway Complex due to outstanding seismic issues which include the high probability that active     faulting lies below the project in the exact location were high-rise structures are founded on liquefiable soils. Attached, please find figures showing the active faults, anticlines, or anomalies overlaid on the proposed Pacific Gateway Development Site. Note the location of the largest possible faults are directly through the Navy Building, 400 foot high Hotel, and office buildings. On the day you voted to not require an EIR-level fault investigation under CEQA, the rest of Southern California was remembering that the 150th anniversary of “the largest earthquake in southern California's history occurred on January 9, 1857. It was a magnitude 7.9 on the San Andreas fault, yet killed only 2 people because the region had so few inhabitants. The fault ruptured for over 200 miles between central California and Cajon Pass. Farther to the south the fault has not had a major earthquake for over three hundred years, and is the most likely source of a great earthquake in the United States.”   “Quake experts predict Katrina-like damage, Scientists urge region to boost emergency plans… Such a quake, lasting up to four minutes, would cause an estimated 150 deaths, 5,000 injuries and $150 billion in economic damage, primarily to homes around the region, said Patricia Grossi, an earthquake-risk specialist with RMS, a risk-management firm.”  The full news articles are included below for your review.

We believe you may have been misinformed or gotten the wrong idea that a valid fault investigation report has been conducted for the $1 billion dollar plus project. Let us make it clear, a valid site-specific fault investigation report ruling out the presence of the active Coronado fault does not exist.  The City of San Diego Geologist, Werner Landry, agreed with our analysis that more information is needed to the partially submitted report by Manchester before the site can be issued a clean bill of health.  As the City Geologist declared in his email (see full text below) to us yesterday  morning regarding the Manchester report, “First of all, it is a report for the Navy Administration Building only, per the title. This alone would not allow it to speak for the entire NBC site. Second (and more important), the interpretation of the limited data provided (seismic reflection & CPTs) would not be conclusive enough for a building permit review approval. Additional information (borings, CPTs) and alternative interpretations of the existing and new data would be required. (Remember, this is a Navy building and probably will never come before this department for review). The other portions of the site certainly need additional investigation for such an important development. I will recommend this, as did the EIR.”

In addition, the Development Services Department Project Submittal Manual and Information Bulletin 515 require a valid fault investigation ASAP because of the site is in City Hazard Zone is 31 (high risk of liquefaction), not at the time of building permits for non-Navy buildings are issued (one to two years from now). According to the attached Information Bulletin 515 (IB- 515), revised October 2006, the Geotechnical Investigation study identified in Table 515A is required at project submittal unless a written request for exception is provided. Exceptions include: B. In zones 31 or 32, considered at risk for liquefaction, the study can be deferred to the construction permit phase... were no habitable spaces is proposed. C. In zones 12 or 13 -
Studies may be deferred to construction permit phase where no habitable space is proposed.
<http://www.laplayaheritage.com/Documents/CITY%20OF%20SAN%20DIEGO/Information_Bulletin_515.pdf>

Page 8 of the Project Submittal Manual, revised October 2006, requires a fault investigation be submitted as soon as possible as part of the Geologic Hazard Category and Earthquake Fault Buffer. Page 9 of the Project Submittal Manual shows that a fault investigation is required before architectural and site design plans can be reviewed by the City or CCDC. The city standards for fault investigations on liquefiable soils are not being followed.
<http://www.sandiego.gov/development-services/industry/pdf/psmsec1.pdf>

After the appeal hearing was over, and you denied our concerns were valid, I asked Captain Mike Allen, Chief of Staff for Navy Region Southwest and the Staff Project Officer for the Navy Broadway Complex if the Navy will conduct the required fault investigation. My understanding is the proposed new Navy Buildings is not part of the 99 year lease by Manchester, but is US Navy federal property which never needs building permits or approval by the City of San Diego or any local agency before construction. Captain Allen said the City of San Diego will require the Navy to do a fault investigation. I asked two more times if that meant yes, the Navy will conduct the required valid fault investigation. Both times I was not given a direct answer of yes or no. This is very disheartening and concerns us.  Per the 1992 Developer Agreement, the Navy Building does not need to ask for or receive building permits from the City for their new headquarters. Please tell the developer and the Navy that a valid fault investigation is needed before construction.  Or please tell CCDC to withhold their approval on the Navy Buildings until the seismic issue under the Navy Buildings is settled.

There is a reason that there are a large number of water and sewer main breaks on Pacific Highway in the North Embarcadero area of downtown San Diego, Via Capri, and La Jolla Parkway (Ardath Road). The cause of the excessive breaks is the ongoing movement of the Rose Canyon Fault Zone (RCFZ) which includes the Coronado fault. The RCFZ is active and is moving now, not in prehistoric time as was implied by the City Council.  The RCFZ moves approximately 5 inches every 100 years, with an expected Magnitude of 7.2 over a length of almost 20 miles long. The City of San Diego Street Division has in their manual, guidelines on how to build public utilities over the active Rose Canyon Fault Zone using flexible connections instead of rigid material such as concrete and steel. “Sewer facilities have become substandard and San Diego has had 600 water main breaks citywide in the last five years, with 25 occurring since last Dec. 1, NBC 7/39 reported.” Think about it, where do you see an excessive amount of broken water and sewer pipes.

With leadership we can put the question of active faulting under the Navy Broadway Complex to rest for all concerned. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.  Please give us faith in city government. Stand up and be counted on this important health and safety issue. Please tell us what to do to get this issue before the City Council, the Land Use and Housing Committee, or the Public Safety Committee. We are here to help the city we love. Please let us help you.

Quake experts predict Katrina-like damage.  Scientists urge region to boost emergency plans
By Gordon Smith  COPLEY NEWS SERVICE  January 10, 2007.
LOS ANGELES – A major earthquake along the San Andreas fault could bring Hurricane Katrina-scale devastation and disruption to Southern California, earthquake scientists and government officials said yesterday as they kicked off a yearlong campaign to ratchet up emergency planning and encourage residents to prepare for the inevitability of a powerful quake.
The warning came on the 150th anniversary of the largest earthquake in California's recorded history – the 7.9-magnitude Fort Tejon quake, which ruptured a 225-mile section of the San Andreas fault from Parkfield in Central California to the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Scientists said new computer simulations show that a quake of similar magnitude along
the fault today would cause shaking stronger and longer than previously predicted.  Such a quake, lasting up to four minutes, would cause an estimated 150 deaths, 5,000 injuries and $150 billion in economic damage, primarily to homes around the region, said Patricia Grossi, an earthquake-risk specialist with RMS, a risk-management firm. Thomas Jordan, director of
the Southern California Earthquake Center at the University of Southern California, said there is a 30 percent to 70 percent chance of a 7.9-magnitude quake on the southern part of the San Andreas fault over the next 30 years. “To seismologists like me, (this section of the fault) could be said to be nine months pregnant,” he said. The southern section of the San Andreas fault begins in Parkfield and runs through Palmdale and the Riverside-San Bernardino area to Palm Springs, the Salton Sea, the Mexican border and beyond. Jordan said that because of
Southern California's geography, Los Angeles would take the brunt of a major earthquake centered in Palm Springs, where many scientists believe the San Andreas fault is particularly overdue for a rupture. San Diego would be relatively safe during such an event, he said. “It would be probably less affected than most of the other major communities in Southern California . . . because it is so far from the San Andreas fault,” Jordan said. “The problem with San Diego is that there are other faults you want to be concerned about.”  One is the San Jacinto fault, which runs through the Borrego Springs area. There is some evidence that strain on the southern San Andreas fault may be shifting westward to the San Jacinto fault, said Lucy Jones, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Pasadena. If that trend is well-developed, it could mean the San Jacinto fault is more dangerous than the San Andreas. Geologists will focus on trying to resolve that key question and several others over the coming year in conjunction with the effort to step up government planning and increase
public awareness of earthquakes and their consequences, Jones said. “The scientists are taking action” because of the potential danger of a massive quake, she added. “We're scared.”
The public-awareness part of the campaign aims, among other things, to persuade residents around the region to prepare for a quake by retrofitting their home's foundations, strapping down bulky furniture and appliances and stocking water, canned food and first-aid supplies.  A highlight of the effort is a 24-foot trailer modified with special hydraulics to duplicate the powerful shaking that a 7.9-magnitude quake would produce. It will be taken to schools and business where people will be able to sit inside and experience the effects of a major earthquake, said Dean Reese, president of QuakeHold of Escondido, a manufacturer of earthquake safety fasteners. Comparing quakes A comparison of the 1857 Fort Tejon and 1906 San Francisco earthquakes: Estimated magnitude: Fort Tejon: 7.9; San Francisco: 7.8.  Length of rupture: Fort Tejon: 225 miles; San Francisco: 296 miles  Ground displacement: Fort Tejon: 30 feet; San Francisco: 20 feet. Deaths (direct and indirect): Fort Tejon: 2; San Francisco: more than 3,000 SOURCE: U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY  U.S. Geological Survey The 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake caused a 30-foot horizontal shift near this stretch of the San Andreas fault on the Carrizo Plain northwest of Los Angeles.

Hi Katheryn,
Well I finally got done with my review of the Geocon report for the Navy Admin Bldg. This was not a complete review as we would require for building permit review, but I think I have the major points. First of all, it is a report for the Navy Administration Building only, per the title. This alone would not allow it to speak for the entire NBC site. Second (and more important), the interpretation of the limited data provided (seismic reflection & CPTs) would not be conclusive enough for a building permit review approval. Additional information (borings, CPTs) and alternative interpretations of the existing and new data would be required. (Remember, this is a Navy building and probably will never come before this department for review). The other portions of the site certainly need additional investigation for such an important development. I will recommend this, as did the EIR. See you at the Hearing,

Hello Mr. Landry,
Thank you for speaking with me last Friday.  We discussed that your department would have an answer today (Monday) to the adequacy of the submitted fault investigation to rule out the presence of the active faulting through the project. We need your assessment before tomorrow's (Tuesday's) 2 pm city council meeting on the adequacy of the CEQA analysis.  Did you get to review the fault investigation for the Navy Broadway Complex? What is your position on the matter? Do you think the fault investigation is complete as is, or does it need more information before you can make an expert opinion on active faulting? Please respond, we will be awaiting your reply.
Regards,
Katheryn Rhodes and Conrad Hartsell, M.D.

Hello Mr. Landry:
On December 28, 2006 we sent a letter to the developer, Manchester Financial Group, requesting additional information/clarification on the July 12, 2006 fault investigation for the Navy Broadway Complex. Do date, we have not received the full report for review before the January 9, 2007 CEQA hearing at City Council. Has the developer turned in the required information to your department or the City of San Diego? May we have a copy? As far as we are concerned, the submitted report is inadequate and the conclusion that no active faults underlies the project cannot be substantially confirmed. By looking at the data, we have come to the exact opposite conclusion.  Which is that there is still a very high likelihood that the active Coronado Fault of the Rose Canyon Fault Zone crosses the Navy Broadway Complex exactly at the location where high-rise buildings are being planned on liquefiable soils. We are not geologists or seismologists, but we both are engineers and consider ourselves scientists. Therefore our analysis of the fault investigation is as lay people and concerned citizens. Attached please find our analysis and on-going concerns regarding of the fault investigation. Pages 6 through 9 show the locations of the active faults, anticlines, or anomalies on the Navy Broadway Complex site found by seismic reflection surveys. Stratigraphic disruptions and broken marker beds indicating active faulting are clearly visible. The project seismologist, Terra Physics, told us that the geologic features may be faults or anomalies, but because all seismic reflection surveys results are based on interpretations only, a final conclusion on the cause of the geologic features will be left to others with more information. Figure 10 through 12 of the attachment show the locations of the closely-spaced CPT soundings over one of the four active faults, anticlines, or anomalies. Based on the figures, two of the closely-spaced CPT locations were not conducted across the geologic features. Also no closely-space CPT soundings were conducted at the most eastern geologic features at the location of the high-rise hotels, Navy Headquarters, and office buildings. In addition, the cross-section of tip resistance shows stratigraphic disruptions and broken marker beds at the locations where the active faults, anticlines, or anomalies are located. The data gives further evidence to our conclusion that additional information is required before one can give the site a clean bill of health in regards to active faulting. What is your conclusion to the fault investigation? Do you think it adequately addresses the issue of active fault through the site? Do you think as we do that active faulting is clearly shown with the existing evidence/data? We will be awaiting your reply.
FYI, the City of Coronado and the State of California both had independent, appointed review boards to assess the 2006 fault investigation report prepared by Kleinfelder, Inc. for the Coronado tunnel project. The City of Coronado had its own review board consisting of its citizens, some of which were engineers. The State of California appointed experts in seismology and geotechnical earthquake engineering to a Coronado tunnel Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) to evaluate the Kleinfelder report. Kleinfelder was required to submit their draft fault investigation report to the City of Coronado and the State of California for comments and input. They were required to conduct meetings with the TAP to review the plan for their fault investigation and to present their fault investigation report to the Panel. The comments and input from the TAP were incorporated into the final fault investigation report for the Coronado tunnel project, which is still in its preliminary planning stage with an EIR to be issued in the next few years. This type of open, transparent, independent, thorough review of the fault investigation report conducted by the City of Coronado is an example that the City of San Diego should follow.

We are missing some information and need clarification on the July 12, 2006 report by Geocon. The copy of the referenced report that was sent to the City of San Diego is missing some important figures.  All requests for additional information/clarification are from the section named Appendix D - Terra Physics Report, dated June 30, 2006, CPT logs from Gregg Drilling, and Figures from Geocon.  In Appendix D - Figures 8, 9, and 10 of the seismic reflection data from the Terra Physics report is missing. These are Reflection Lines 2A, 2B, and 3, "Geologic Features Interpreted from the processed reflection section, Pacific Gateway Development, San Diego."  According to the Terra Physics report, the figures are in color, as opposed to black and white. In order to interpret the data, the figures are needed in color. Different colors include dark blue, dark green, purple, black, green, blue, olive-brown, light purple, and gold. It is impossible to see the data in black and white. Color copies of the figures in the seismic reflection report are requested.  Geocon, Terra Physics, and Gregg's Drilling cannot release information without your consent. The information from Terra Physics is already in digital format and will be ready to email once you give your approval to release the needed data. Please allow the subconsultants to release the information to the City of San Diego and us.  We are also asking for clarification on Figure 11 from the Terra Physics report in Appendix D. On Figure 11 (attached), there are seismic lines called S-1A, S-1B, S-2A, S-2B, and S-3. There are also seismic lines called 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, and 3, without the S- prefix.  Are the S- prefix additional seismic lines by others, or are they proposed locations before the field work was conducted?  Figure D19, Geologic Map/Site Plan, dated July 12, 2006 is in such a small scale (1 inch = 120 feet) that it is hard to read the order of the closely spaced CPT data along Seismic Lines 1A and 3 (CPT Nos. 1A to 18A). Could these two areas be blown up to see the order of the CPT sounding, which is very important to determining the horizontal profile. Also can the closely spaced CPT Nos. 1A to 18A be put into a table with the order from east to west for further clarification?  We also need clarification on the difference in the location of S-3 between Figure 11 and Figure D-19 (attached).  For the CPT data we need the raw data which consists of electronic readings in increments of 3 inches for all 18 of the CPT logs along the seismic lines.  We are requesting color copies of the CPT logs. This information is also already in digital format, awaiting your consent to release needed data.  Figure D-20 Cross Section of Line 1A/1B and Line 3, CPT Soundings (map pocket) is also missing from the public report. We are requested that the figure be sent in adobe format for review.  Gregg's Drilling, the subcontractor for the CPT soundings, have a computer program where they can provide cross section of the CPT data when asked.  Please ask that cross sections be made for the CPT soundings for both the soil profile and the tip resistance readings unless this information is already included in Figure 20.     http://www.greggdrilling.com/insitu.html  CONE PENETRATION DATA PRESENTATION SERVICES
Gregg In Situ, Inc. (Gregg) has developed a new software application designed to create high quality cross sections and 3D images based on cone penetration testing (CPT) data retrieved during a site investigation. Gregg’s customized version of the software program Viewlog can now be effectively interfaced with CPT data.  This powerful new program allows us
to import an Auto CAD map of a site and overlay the exact position of the CPT soundings directly on the site map. In addition, cross sections are then easily produced to display cone data, from any number of soundings, side by side and adjusted for elevation.   The cross sections can be displayed in either a vertical format or in a horizontal format which can
be constructed to display contour maps. A number of different parameters can be interpreted and displayed in the cross sections, including: Tip resistance, Sleeve Friction, Dynamic Pore Pressure, Soil Behavior Type, Water table depth (provided by client), UVIF or other additional data response." If you have any questions, please contact us.
