INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The purpose of this investigation is to locate and define any seismic hazards that may exist which could preclude development
of this site as planned. Previous mapping by Helley and Herd (1977)
indicates that the site may be crossed by the Cordelia Fault .
Study followed the Suggested Guidelines for Evaluating the Hazard
of Surface Fault Rupture, Note No. 49, published by the California Division of Mines and Geology .
Scope
1) To locate the Cordelia Fault if present on site, and determine its fault activity and potential for ground rupture.
2) To make comment on hazardous geologic or seismic conditions,
if any, uncovered as part of this investigation .
Methods of Investigation
Investigation procedures consisted of a careful review of geological
reports and maps involving the area, interpretation of aerial
photographs covering the site and its vicinity, a geological reconnaissance, and trench excavation. Geophysical work was conducted, but irregular readings resulted from the agglomeratic lithology of the volcanic bedrock .

• Site Location and Description The site is located north of the intersection of Highway 680 and
Interstate 80, along Green Valley Road, near Cordelia, California
• (see Figure 1). It has been proposed that the approximately 400 acres of land be developed into a combination of single and multiple
family residences, with an accompanying school, shopping center

and park I open space area .
Topography in the northern portion of the site consists of hills ·
rising to 550' in elevation, covered with a vegetation of oaks and
annual grasses. The southern portion of the site contains pasture
land, some of which is irrigated. A Pacific Gas and Electric right
of-way crosses the property with a northeasterly trend, and the
concrete lined Putah South Canal crosses the property in the middle,
trending easterly (see Figure 6). A single family residence (the Mason Ranch house) presently exists in the mid-western portion of
the site.
According to Sims, et al (1973) (Figure 2), the northern upland portion of the site is underlain by rocks of Tertiary age, belonging
to the Sonoma Volcanic Group. These rocks are composed of andesitic
to basaltic lavas, with some rhylotic lava. Ashflow tuff, locally
welded together with bedded agglomerate and tuff breccia or pumicitic tuff, also occurs. Outcrops of these rocks occur throughout the northern portion of the site. Good exposures of the ashflow tuffs
may be seen in the canal cuts .
The southern portion of the site is underlain by Quaternary alluvial
sediments derived from erosion of the volcanic upland areas .

• RAULT INVESTIGATION
e Seismic Setting
The Green Valley fault is the major active fault in the site vicinity.
A main trace of this fault is mapped within 3500' to the west of the e site (Figure 3). The Green Valley fault is considered active by the
U.S.G.S., being a possible northward continuation of the Concord fault
which is known to be active. The State Division of Mines considers it
active within Quaternary time (last 2 million years) under the pro-
• visions of the Alquist-Priolo Act (see Figure 3).
A Cordelia fault has recently been mapped by Helley and Herd (1977),
as passing through the easternmost portions of the site. Previous
• mapping did not recognize the Cordelia fault, which was mapped in its present location based upon lineaments of possibly fault related topo
graphic features (see Figures 4 and 4a), and limited field work.
• Nearby Investigations
•
•
•
•
A geological investigation on the Mangels Ranch property, adjacent and
south of the site, was completed in March 1978. Approximately 290'
of trenching across the mapped trace of the Cordelia Fault revealed
no active faulting. A seismic refraction survey, performed by Louke and Associates, likewise revealed no indications of faulting.
Seismic Traverse No. 1 was 500+ feet in length and located 300! feet
south of the southern Mason Ranch boundary.
To the north, Applied Soil Mechanics (July 1978) studied the Anderson
Ranch property with respect to hazards posed by the Cordelia Fault . Detailed field mapping of Anderson Ranch, and logging of roadcuts along Rockville Road, lead them to conclude that no active fault traces

•
cross the Anderson Ranch in the mapped location of the Cordelia Fault,
or anywhere else. Faulting exposed along Rockville Road was determined
to have occurred because of diapiric folding and not to be presently active or laterally extensive. An unfaulted, continuous layer of
volcanic rock has been deposited across the fault trace as mapped south
of Rockville Road. This indicates that no movement has taken place since the volcanic layer was deposited 5 to 25 million years ago.
Previous Investigations
A Preliminary Draft EIR investigation was done of the site by
Larry Seeman Associates (1978). The investigation revealed areas
of anomalous topography in the northeastern portion of the site
which are suggestive of landslide processes. Figure 9 shows these landslide prone areas along with site geology. ENGEO field checked the site geology and basically concurs with the findings in respect to contacts between lithologies and stability ratings .

Aerial Photograph Interpretation
The following stereo black and white aerial photographs were studied as part of this investigation:
Flight Line Year Scale Source
AV-844-15-14 1968 1:30,000 Pacific Aerial Surveys AV-844-15-15 1968 1:30,000 Pacific Aerial Surveys AB0-52-41 1937 1:20,000 u. c. Berkeley AB0-52-42 1937 1:20,000 u. C. Berkeley AB0-52-43 1937 1:20,000 u. C. Berkeley AB0-54-44 1937 1:20,000 u . c. Berkeley
The photographs were scrutinized for the presence of terrain features
characteristic of fault zones, such as linear discontinuities in rock
or soil, offset water courses, linear scarps, topographic lows, or
breaks in slope. Several such lineations are apparent, mainly as breaks in slope, and linear valleys with vegetation contrasts (see
Figure 5). The most noticeable is a line of vegetation contrasts
and breaks in slope corresponding to the mapped Green Valley fault
location. A line of lighter coloration, generally lacking vegetation,
crosses the site in the mapped Cordelia fault location. Most other
features used by Helley & Herd (1977a) to delineate the Cordelia fault are also discernible. These lineaments were field checked
during our geologic field reconnaissance, and found to be unrelated to fault activity.
Trench Excavation
A 180~ foot long trench was excavated across the mapped trace of the
Cordelia fault in the southeastern portion of the site (see Figure 6).
The trench revealed the subsurface.contact between volcanic bedrock
and alluvium (see Figure 8). Fractured light green tuffaceous bedrock was found between Stations 0+00 and 0+72, with a bedding attitude of approximately N8W, 41W. This bedrock dipped gradually to the west,
ENGEO INCORPORATED
•
e as did the ground surface. At Station 0+53, a series of interfingered sediments began and continued for the remainder of the trench. Water
seepage occurred and stabilized at approximately 5 feet below the soil
surface. No bedding offsets, slickensides, shear zones, or other
• fault indicative features were evident in any part of the trench.
Trenching was attempted across the mapped fault trace in the northern portion of the site, but refusal in tuffaceous bedrock was encountered at
• a depth of less than 1 foot below soil surface. No fracture zones or offsets of the surface soil could be detected in the 80' of bedrock
exposed by this attempted trenching .
•
•
•
•

•
Geologic Reconnaissance
The eastern portions of the site, including the Putah South Canal,
were examined for evidence of active fault movement. No such evi
dence was found. No cracks or offsets are noticeable in the concrete lining of the Canal. Only minor iron stained fractures occur in the
exposed tuffs. The general attitude of these fractures measures N6W, 67°E. A contact between a white lithic tuff bed to the north,
and an agglomeritic flow to the south, is located near the intersection
of the mapped fault trace and the Canal. The contact is gradational,
and no shearing is evident. One slickensided fracture surface with
an attitude of N22W, 73°E, is noticeable along the Canal cut approximately 700' west of the mapped fault trace. No offset of surface soil
is apparent.
Field checking of air photo lineaments revealed topographic features capable of being formed by a variety of geomorphic processes. The linear
valleys or troughs occur on less resistant tuffaceous beds paralleled on both the east and west sides by "scarps" or outcrops of the more re
sistant andesitic and ba.sal tic flow rocks, which appeared to be conformable .
Fault exposures are evident in roadcuts along Rockville Road. The most

•
• noticeable is 0.6 miles north of the site, on line with the mapped
Cordelia fault trace. It is characterized by a highly sheared gray
• lithic tuff with reddish slickensided surfaces measuring NSE, 82E.
According to Helley & Herd (1977a), this fault exposure cuts '"'A"
horizon soils, indicating recent activity (Figure 4a). Such surface soil offset was not in evidence at the time of ENGEO's reconnaissance,
• and as previously mentioned, Applied Soil Mechanics reports the faulting as not active, based on their inspection of this exposure .

CONCLUSIONS
l) The results of exploratory trenching and field work by ENGEO show
the site to be free of active faulting. Air photo lineations used
by Helley and Herd (1977) to map a "Cordelia Fault" across the east
ern portions of the site are unrelated to fault activity, but caused
by differential erosion. Studies done on these lineations both to the
north (Anderson Ranch) and south (Mangels Ranch) of the site also
show them to be unrelated to faulting. Because of the above, the po
tential for ground rupture on-site is considered remote .
2) Secondary seismic hazards pertinent to the proposed development
include ground shaking, landsliding and liquefaction. Ground shaking
can be expected during the life of the structures. Historic earthquakes have most likely generated maximum accelerations on the order of 0.2 g (see Figure 7) which can be mitigated by current code pracbeing utilized for the residences.
Trenching revealed a high ground water level and the presence of gran
ular soils in the southern pastureland portion of the site. The lique
faction potential of this area should be further investigated.in the soil investigation phase. Liquefaction was not considered a serious
concern on the adjacent Mangels or Anderson Ranches .
Seismically induced landsliding is a potential hazard in the northern
portions of the site, particularly those mapped as landslide prone
areas in the Environmental Impact Report by Larry Seeman Associates
(1978). These can be mitigated by proper engineering design. The
majority of the unstable ground is in future open areas. The detailed
soil investigation should study these areas which encroach into the
development area to make appropriate recommendations for stabiliza
tion.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1) We see no need for additional geologic studies, except for a
future geologic update investigation at the time of school planning.
2) As an active fault was not found to traverse the site, no set
backs are deemed necessary.
3) A detailed soil and foundation investigation should be conducted
on-site with particular attention paid to liquefaction potential and
potential landsliding.
4) Trenching has been loosely backfilled. Its position should be
precisely located so that further attention can be given to its
effect on planned improvements.
5) Current U.B.C. seismic design practices should be used as a mini
mum requirement for structural design of residences .

The Cordelia fault zone is named for a small village between State Highway 21 and Interstate 80 northwest 9f Suisun Bay. This fault lies only a few kilometers east of the Green Valley fault and may represent a branch of it. The fault was first recognized just south of Cordelia as a linear contact between soils developed on Holocene basin deposits on the west and older alluvial fan deposits on the east, with the older soils anomalously on the downslope side. This contact also appears to be a ground-water barrier as shm.rn by a near-surface wet zone. Photolineaments allow extension of the fault north of Corde!ia into the bedrock hills underlain by the Sonoma Volcanics. Approximately 3 km north of Interstate 80, the fault splays into a series of four or more traces, each marked by vegetation lineaments, scarps, linear troughs, notches, and shutter ridges. The zone there is about 2 km wide. The fault zone narrows northward but can be traced by a few scarps, photolineaments and vegetation lineaments to the western shore of Lake Curry. No evidence for young fault~ng was seen in the alluvium in Wragg Canyon, a linear valley extending to the southeastern end of Lake Berryessa 'along the projected strike of the Cordelia fault. The east side of Lake Berryessa shows some features of young faulting. Here, shutter ridges and alinements of notches, saddles, and closed depressions are common.
Some earthquakes attributed to the active Green Valley fault by Frizzell and Brown (1976) may, in fact, originate on the Cordelia fault. Where exposed in new roadcuts, the Cordelia fault appears to displace A horizons on soils formed on the Sonoma Volcanics. Sense of :notion is right-lateral strike-slip, and all slickensides observed to date have been horizontal.
