{2~ A laboratory soil analysis of the soil(s) into which-plantings are to be made: (A) Soil sampling shall be conducted in accordance with laboratory protocol, including protocols regarding adequate sampling depth for the intended plants. (B) At a minimui~l the soil analysis ~1•ia~l include: 1. soil texture; 2. infiltration rate determined by laboratory test or soil texture infiltration rate table; 3. pH; 4. total soluble salts; 5. sodium; 6. essential qutrients ~: 7. percent organic matter; and 8. recommendations for soil amendments or nutrient applicationsta ameliorate the soil limitations identified by the analysis and the amount of compost required to bring_the soil organic matter content to a minimum of 3.5% by dry weight or a minimum application of at least 1 inch . The required practice of adding compost is waived if the plant palette primarily includes California native species that are adapted to soils with little or no organic matter as doeutnenied by a published plant reference, (C) It is highly recommended that l .the lab report recommendations are based on an `organic' approach to soil and landscape management that specifies natural and non-synthetic fertilizers to rectify any soil deficiencies. 2. if the soils are to be irrigated with recycled water the' lab report recommendations are tailored to recycled water. 3. the types of plantings intended such as turf, perennial bed, annual bed, srvale etc are provided to the soil laboratory. 4. management actions are identified to remedi~te Iirnit~ing ~s€iil charn~e~isties Bch as ripping the soil to alleviate soil compaction. (3) Specifications for protecting topsoil, ameliorating soil ~limitatiarr~, ~uchas ripping the soil to alleviate soil compaction, and incorporating c+c~mpost and/pr amendments as per, recommendations in the soil analysis report. ~-} ~c) The project applicant, or his/her designee, shall comply with one of the following: ~ (1) If significant mass grading is not planned, the soil ^^ ~~nagement report shall be submitted to the local agency as part of the Landscape Documentation Package; or (~-} {2~ If significant mass grading is planned, the soil ~s rnan~getner~ report shall be submitted to the local agency as part of the Certificate of Completion. {~-} (d~ The soil l-y~-is m~ri~gem~rit report shall be made available, in a timely manner, to the professionals preparing the landscape design plans and irrigation design plans to make any necessary adjustments to the design plans.
