"Santa Monica properties feature highly permeable coastal marine sands underlain by soft, saturated silt. While sands drain instantly, the high coastal water table creates a risk of structural collapse and sand migration during excavation. Decommissioning requires strategic dewatering pumps, hydraulic bottom slab punctures, and specialized geotextile fabric installation before compaction to ASTM D1557 standards to prevent sand shifting."
