1033 Hi, I have been asked to submit a Geologic/Geotechnical Engineering Report for a house in Los Angeles County. It is for a patio, retaining wall, and yard wall for a single lot existing house. A preliminary design had been created (but not submitted). The family then had the geologic/geotechnic report done to make sure their design would work and that design is currently being re~worked. They are hoping to submit this soils report before_the project itself is submitted (which will be asap, hopefully) in order to expidite the process. Is this possible? They do plan to pay any expidition fees required. I will continue to look into this but help from you guys would be great, as I have not worked with LA County before so I do not know the official proceedures. Thank you.. Sincerely, Courtney

1066 Is this City of LA method for soldier pile design something that the County would approve on projects in the County? See below: ----------------------- The City of LA has a specific method for soldier pile design as follows: 1. Find the depth to the 1.5 static factor of safety, without reinforcement, 1.0 factor of seismic factor of safety, if applicable. Soldier piles must reach "unreinforced" 1.5 static (and 1.0 seismic) factor of safety line depth. 2. Calculate design pile shear force that will result in a "reinforced" 1.5 static (1.0 seismic) factor of safety through any part of the proposed pile. This is the "reinforced" 1.5/1.0 factor of safety line. 3. Passive resistance may be taken at the "reinforced" 1.5/1.0 factor of safety line. -------------- Is this City of LA method for soldier pile design something that the County would approve on projects in the County?

1070 I have a general question about re~using excavated soil. I work as an environmental consultant to a company that operates gas pipelines in Los Angeles County. We routinely excavate soil from an active pipeline to perform maintenance to ensure the line is in good condition and no leaks are present. Most of the time the soil we excavate is not impacted by hydrocarbons, and has no other discernable contamination, ie, it is clean native soil. For the sections of pipeline that exist in the right~of~way (not on private land) do you know if we are required to containerize and remove this excavated soil, or are we allowed to reuse the soil as fill after demonstrating that there is no contamination? Additionally, do you know if we are allowed to move the excavated soil to a second location and use as backfill? Is there specific guidance that you can point me to that lays out the rules/regulations for soil reuse?

When a fire alarm system went off, he shut it off by removing power to it and not replacing the system... Notified him over a year ago during the atmospheric rivers that the roof was leaking and he has yet to fix it. We informed him over a month ago that the paint was bubbling in the downstairs bedroom because it was an exterior wall and he has not had a painter come over to fix it. He did not and has not tested the walls or the leaking roof for mold or mildew not has he provided any maintenance of the grounds of the property all while raising the rent. Is this legal/are there any remedies to force him into making the property updates/ can we also accrue back rent because of his failure to act?
