Subject: Limited Geotechnical Evaluation for Proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit
(ADU) at 2932 Segovia Way, City of Carlsbad, San Diego County,
California 92009, APN 255-053-20-00
Dear Mr. Cavanaugh:
In accordance with your request, GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) presents this summary report of our
limited geotechnical evaluation. The purpose of our study was to evaluate sbil parameters
for the proposed new ADU at 2932 Segovia Way, City of Carlsbad, San Diego County,
California. According to the architectural drawings by US Modular Inc., (USM, 2022)
provided by you, the proposed ADU will be approximately 653 square feet, and is planned
in the backyard western portion of the lot, south of the existing slope on the northern
margin. It will include one (1) bedroom, utility room, kitchen/living room, and one (1) bath.
It is our understanding that the unit Will be supported on perimeter footings with a crawl
space beneath it. Building loads are assumed to be typical of this type of relatively light
structure.
The scope of our services includes a site reconnaissance, soil sampling, a review of
documents presented in Appendix A (References), laboratory testing, engineering
analyses, and preparation of this report. This summary report has been prepared for the
sole purpose of providing a limited description of soil conditions onsite and laboratory
testing results. It does not constitute a geotechnical evaluation of the overall stability or
suitability of the site for development. This would have been performed prior to the
government approval and original development of the site.
FIELD STUDIES
Site-specific field studies were conducted by GSI on July 13, 2023, and consisted of the
advancement of two (2) exploratory excavations with a hand-auger, for an evaluation of
near-surface soil and geologic conditions onsite. The auger excavations, HA-1 and HA-2,
were located as shown on Figure 1 (Hand-Auger Boring Location Map), and logged by a
representative of this office who collected representative bulk soil samples for appropriate
laboratory testing. A description of the soils encountered is described below.

SOIL CONDITIONS
General
The earth material units that were observed and encountered at the subject site consist of
a shallow layer of artificial fill overlying Tertiary-age Santiago Formation deposits, at
shallow depth. A general description of each material type is presented as follows, from
youngest to oldest.
Artificial Fill (Afu)
As observed in HA-1 and HA-2, undocumented artificial fill soil consists of brown clayey
sand, and is loose in consistency.
Tertiary-age Santiago Formation (Tsa)
Tertiary-age Santiago Formation (considered bedrock at this site) was observed at shallow
depth. As observed in HA-1 and HA-2, these deposits consist of light olive gray, silty
sandstone, which was moist, and medium dense in consistency. The material then grades
with depth to olive gray claystone, which was moist, and stiff in consistency.
SEISMIC DESIGN
General
In the event of an upper bound (maximum probable) or credible earthquake occurring on
any of the nearby major faults, strong ground shaking would occur in the subject site's
general area. Potential damage to any structure(s) would likely be greatest from the
vibrations and impelling force caused by the inertia of a structure's mass. This seismic
potential would be no greater than that for other existing structures and improvements in
the immediate vicinity.
Seismic Shaking Parameters
The following table summarizes the reevaluated site-specific design criteria obtained from
the 2022 CBC, Chapter 16 Structural Design, Section 1613, Earthquake Loads from the
centroid of the site, 33.079178 latitude, -117.246301 longitude. The computer program
Seismic Design Maps, provided by the California Office of Statewide Health Planning
and Development (OSHPD, 2023) has now been used to aid in design
(https://seismicmaps.org). The short spectral response uses a period of 0.2 seconds.

Conformance to the criteria above for seismic design does not constitute any kind of
guarantee or assurance that significant structural damage or ground failure will not occur
in the event of a large earthquake. The primary goal of seismic design is to protect life, not
to eliminate all damage, since such design may be economically prohibitive. Cumulative
effects of seismic events are not addressed in the 2022 CBC (CBSC, 2022) and regular
maintenance and repait following locally significant seismic events (i.e., Mw5.5) will likely
be necessary, as is the case in all of Southern California.

Groundwater
According to Google Earth Imagery, the site elevation is approximately 215 feet MSL (mean
sea level) and lies approximately 1.7 miles southeast of the Batiquitos Lagoon (elevation
6 MSL) which may be considered the regional water table. Within the regional water table,
groundwater is subject to tidal fluctuations when near the coast. Based on our review of
site conditions, the regional groundwater table is anticipated to not be of concern during
site design/construction. However, perched groundwater has the potential to occur at this
site.
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were performed on representative samples of site earth materials in order
to evaluate their physical characteristics. The results of our evaluation are summarized as
follows:
Classification
Soils were classified with respect to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) in
general accordance with ASTM D 2487 and ASTM D 2488.
Moisture-Density Relations
The field moisture contents were determined for selected samples in the laboratory.
Testing was performed in general accordance with ASTM D 2937. The field moisture
content was determined as a percentage of the dry weight. The results of these tests are
shown on the Hand-Auger Boring Logs in Appendix B.
Particle-Size Analysis
A particle-size evaluation was performed on a representative soil sample
(HA-1 at 8 -20 inches) in general accordance with ASTM D 422-63. The testing was done
to evaluate and classify the soil, in accordance with the USCS. The results of the
particle-size evaluation indicate that the tested soil is a clayey sand (5 percent gravel,
58.4 percent sand, 36.E> percent fines, uses Symbol-SC).
Expansion Index
A representative sample of near-surface site soils was evaluated for expansion potential.
Expansion index (E.I.) testing and expansion potential classification was performed in
general accordance with ASTM Standard D 4829, the results of the expansion testing are
presented in the following table:

Atterberg Limits
Testing of a representative soil sample to evaluate the liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity
index (P.1.) was performed in general accordance with ASTM D 4318. The test results are
presented Appendix C, and in the following table.
SAMPLE LOCATION LIQUID LIMIT I PLASTIC LIMIT I PLASTICITY INDEX I
HA-1 @ 8 -42 inches 54 I 15 I 39 I
Based on the relationship between Plasticity Index (P.1.) vs Liquid Limit (LL.), this soil is
classified as a "Fat Clay'' (USCS symbol CH), per the uses Classification system, and is
detrimentally expansive per Code.
Saturated Resistivity. pH, and Soluble Sulfates, and Chlorides
GSI conducted sampling of onsite earth materials for general soil corrosivity and soluble
sulfates, and chlorides testing. The testing included evaluation of soil pH, soluble sulfates,
chlorides, and saturated resistivity. Test results are presented in the following table:
SAMPLE LOCATION SATURATED SOLUBLE SOLUBLE

Corrosion Summary
Laboratory testing indicates that tested samples of the on site soils are neutral with respect
to soil acidity/alkalinity, are severely corrosive to exposed, buded metals when saturated,
present elevated ([or Class S2] per American Concrete Institute [ACI] 318-14) sulfate
exposure to concrete, and chloride levels are considered slightly elevated. Reinforced
concrete mix design for foundations, any slab-on-grade floats, and pavements should
minimally conform to "~xposure Class C1" in Table 19.3.2.1 of ACI 318-14, as concrete
would likely be exposed to moisture. GSI does not consult in the field of corrosion

engineering. The client and project architect should agree on the level of corrosion
protection required for the project and seek consultation from a qualified corrosion
consultant.
STORM WATER TREATMENT AND HYDROMODIFICATION MANAGEMENT
USDA Study
A review of the United States Department of Agriculture database ([USDA]; 1973, 2020)
indicates that site soils located within the site are classified as Las Flores loamy fine sand,
(9 to 30 percent slope) on the property. The USDA study further indicates that the
Las Flores loamy fine sand is classified as belonging to Hydrologic Soil Group "D." A
review of USDA (1973 and 2019) indicates that the capacity of the most limiting layer to
transmit water (Ksat) within the Las Flores loamy fine sand is very low (0.0 to 0.06 inches
per hour [in/hr]).
Infiltration Feasibility
Based on our review and engineering analysis, the site belongs to HSG "D." On a
preliminary basis, the suitability of storm water infiltration at the subject site is not
considered feasible due to marginally low infiltration rates, less permeable bedrock, and
potential to cause groundwater mounding, horizontal migration, and resultant distress to
existing offsite and onsite improvements. Therefore, we recommend a "no-infiltration" BMP
design. Due to the potential for associated settlement, distress, and perched groundwater
for any BMP structure within close proximity (i.e., potentially within 10 feet) of any planned
foundations, retaining walls, slopes, and other settlement-sensitive improvements, a "no
infiltration" BMP design is warranted. Although potentially feasible, GSI does not
recommend infiltration at the subject site due to marginal infiltration rates and the high
potential for distress, as outlined above.
DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA
General
All earthwork should conform to the guidelines presented in the 2022 CBC (CBSC, 2022),
GSI Grading Guidelines (Appendix D), and the requirements of the City, except where
specifically superceded in the text of this report. Prior to earthwork, a GSI representative
should be present at the preconstruction meeting to provide additional earthwork
guidelines, if needed, and review the earthwork schedule. This office should be notified
in advance of any fill placement, supplemental regrading of the site, or backfilling
underground utility trenches and retaining walls after rough earthwork has been
completed. This includes grading for pools, driveway approaches, driveways, and exterior
hard scape.

During earthwork construction, all site preparation and the general grading procedures of
the contractor should be observed and the fill selectively tested by a representative(s) of
GSI. If unusual or unexpected conditions are exposed in the field, they should be reviewed
by this office and, if warranted, modified or additional recommendations will be offered.
All applicable requirements of local and national construction and general industry safety
orders, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and the Construction Safety Act
should be met. It is the onsite general contractor's and individual subcontractors'
responsibility to provide a safe working environment for our field staff who are onsite. GSI
does not consult in the area of safety engineering.
Demolition/Grubbing
1 . Vegetation and any miscellaneous debris should be removed from the areas of
proposed grading.
2. Any existing subsurface structures uncovered during the recommended removal
should be observed by GSI so that appropriate remedial recommendations can be
provided.
3. Cavities or loose soils remaining after demolition and site clearance should be
cleaned out and observed by the soil engineer. The cavities should be replaced
with fill materials that have been moisture conditioned to at least optimum moisture
content and compacted to at least 90 percent of the laboratory standard.
4. Onsite septic systems (if encountered) should be removed in accordance
with San Diego County Department of Environmental Health (DEH)
standards/guidelines.
Treatment of Existing Ground
1. Removals should consist of all undocumented fill soils. Based on our site work,
removals depths on the order of approximately¾ feet throughout the site should
be anticipated. These soils may be re-used as fill , provided that the soil is cleaned
of any deleterious material and moisture conditioned, and compacted to a minimum
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557. Removals should be completed
until the underlyihg native soils are visibly free of voids, have a dry density of
105 pcf, or relative density of 85 percent throughout the entire building/construction
area.
2. In addition to removals within the building envelope, and for the mitigation of
adverse soil moisture, overexcavation/undercutting of the underlying bedrock soil
should be performed in order to provide for at least 3 feet of compacted fill below
finish grade for a one-story ADU, or 2 feet below the bottom of deepest footing;
whichever is greater. Undercutting should be completed for a minimum lateral

distance of at least 5 feet beyond the building footprint. Once removals and
overexcavation is completed, the fill should be cleansed of deleterious materials,
moisture conditioned, and recompacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction
per ASTM D 1557.
3. After the above removals/overexcavation are performed, the exposed bottom
should be scarified to a depth of at least 8 inches, brought to at least optimum
moisture content, and recompacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent
of the laboratory standard, prior to any fill placement.
4. Localized deeper removals may be necessary due to buried drainage channel
meanders or dry porous materials, septic systems, etc., that may be present. The
project soils engineer/geologist should observe all removal areas during the
grading.
5. Removed natural ground materials may be reused as compacted fill provided that
major concentrations of vegetation and miscellaneous debris are removed from the
site, prior to or during fill placement. See subsequent sections for a discussion of
select grading.
6. Should removals and recompaction not be performed, the footings would need t be
±¾ feet deeper than plan, and any residential slab would need to be a structural
slab, spanning between the footings, and not relying on the soil for support.
Fill Suitability
Surficial onsite soils (residual soils and weathered bedrock) generally appear to consist of
clayey sands to clay. Oversize material (12-inch plus) is not anticipated. Existing site soils
are high expansive. Any soil import should be evaluated by this office prior to importing
in order to assure compatibility with the onsite site soils and the recommendations
presented in this report. Import soils, if used, should be relatively sandy and very low
expansive (i.e., E.I. less ~ 20).
Shrinkage/Bulking
Based on our experience, a preliminary value of 5 to 10 percent shrinkage for residual soil,
and highly weathered formation may be considered. Cuts in formation may result in
nominal shrinkage (ranging to about 5 percent).
Fill Placement
1. After ground preparation, fill materials should be brought to at least optimum
moisture content, placed in thin 6-to 8-inch lifts, and mechanically compacted to
obtain a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent of the laboratory standard.

2. Fill materials should be cleansed of major vegetation and debris prior to placement.
Perimeter Conditions
The 2022 CBC (CBSC, 2022) indicates that removals of unsuitable soils be performed
across all areas under the purview of the grading permit, not just within the influence of the
proposed buildings. Relatively deep removals may also necessitate a special zone of
consideration, on perimeter/confining areas. Any proposed improvement or future
homeowner improvements such as walls, swimming pools, house additions, etc., that are
located above a 1 :1 (h:v) projection up from the outermost limit of the remedial grading
excavations will require deepened foundations that extend below this plane. Other site
improvements, such as pavements, constructed above the aforementioned plane would
retain some potential for settlement and associated distress, which may require increased
maintenance/repair or replacement. This potential should be disclosed to all
interested/affected parties should remedial grading excavations be constrained by property
lines.
Graded Slope Construction
Based on the relatively flat site grades and the planned construction, graded fill and cut
slope construction are not anticipated.
Fill Drainage
Based on site grades and the planned construction, subdrainage is not anticipated.
Temporary Slopes
Temporary slopes for excavations greater than 4 feet, but less than 20 feet in overall height
should conform to CAL-OSHA and/or OSHA requirements for Type "B" soils. Temporary
slopes, up to a maximum height of about 20 feet, may be excavated at a 1 :1 (h:v) gradient,
or flatter, provided groundwater and/or running sands are not exposed. Construction
materials or soil stockpiles should not be placed within H of any temporary slope where
H equals the height of the temporary slope. All temporary slopes should be observed by
a licensed engineering geologist and/or geotechnical engineer prior to worker entry into
the excavation.
BEARING VALUE
Based on a review of lable 1806.2 of the 2022 California Building Code ([2022 CBC],
California Building Standards Commission [CBSC], 2022), an allowable bearing value
of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) may be assumed for design of shallow footings.
Continuous footings should be a minimum of 12 inches wide and should be at least

12 inches deep below lowest adjacent grade (excluding soft soils, landscape zones, slab
and underlayment thickness, etc.), bearing on suitable, approved bedrock. Isolated
footings should have a minimum width and depth of 24 inches. It is anticipated that actual
footing depths will be deeper than those indicated above, in order to penetrate any loose,
near-surface soils. Actual footing depths would be based on conditions exposed within
the footing excavation. The allowable bearing value may be increased by 20 percent for
each additional 12 inches in depth of embedment into approved suitable bearing soil, to
a maximum value of 2,500 psf. The above values may be increased by 1/a when
considering short duration seismic or wind loads. Differential settlement may be assumed
as 1 inch in a 40-foot span, provided the footing bears on suitable, competent and similar
earth materials, approved by GSI.
Current laboratory testing indicates that the onsite soils exhibit expansion index values of
92. As such, site soils do appear to meet the criteria of detrimentally expansive soils as
defined in Section 1803.5.2 of the 2022 CBC (CBSC, 2022).
From a geotechnical viewpoint, assuming remedial grading has been performed,
foundation construction should conform to the following:
1. If removal and recompaction is not performed, the depth would be about 3½ to
4 feet (with a structural slab). Footing widths should be per Code. Isolated pad
footings should be 24 inches square, by 24 inches deep, and embedded at least
24 inches into suitable bearing soil, whichever is deeper. Isolated pad footings
would need to be deepened to 4½ to 5 feet, similarly, if removal and recompaction
is not performed.
2. All footings should be reinforced with four No. 4 reinforcing bars, two placed near
the top and two placed near the bottom of the footing. Isolated pad footing
reinforcement should be per the structural engineer.
3. Interior and exterior column footings should be tied together via grade beams in at
least one direction to the main foundation. The grade beam should be at least
12 inches square in cross section, and should be provided with a minimum of two
No. 4 reinforcing bars at the top, and two No. 4 reinforcing bars at the bottom of the
grade beam. The base of the reinforced grade beam should be at the same
elevation as the adjoining footings.
4. Foundations should maintain a minimum 7-foot horizontal distance between the
base of the footing and any adjacent descending slope, and minimally comply with
the guidelines per the 2022 CBC (CBSC, 2022). This may also result in a deeper
footing than per plan.
5. If remedial grading is not performed, the footings would need to be deepened, as
discussed above, and the slab designed as a structural slab, spanning from footing
to footing, and not relying on the soil for support.

LATERAL PRESSURE
Total lateral resistance (TLR) for shallow foundations is provided by the friction along the
footing bottoms and the passive pressure across footing faces in contact with either fill or
natural soil deposits. The TLR is influenced by the depth of the footing and the cohesion
(or apparent cohesion) of the soil material. The normal force or dead load on the footing
from the overlying structure will influence the amount of frictional resistance. For sands or
predominantly sandy soils, this friction is higher than clay or clayey/silty soils. The TLR and
vertical bearing of the soil were derived from soil (s) descriptions, multiple laboratory tests,
and the use of Table 1806.2 of the 2022 CBC (CBC, 2022).
The TLR for the clayey sands onsite may be taken as an equivalent fluid pressure of
150 pct (150 psf/ft of depth) per foot of depth and a friction coefficient of 0.25 applied to
the dead load on the footing. When combining the frictional and passive components of
the TLR, the passive value should be reduced by 1/a (one-third). The total maximum lateral
bearing pressure of 2,500 psf may be used for this site, unless further testing and analysis
is performed. GSI believes this to be a reasonably conservative value, considering the
limited scope of work. Please note that if foundations are pile or pier supported, the
frictional value noted above should be neglected.
NEW FLOOR SLABS/RAISED-WOOD FLOOR
We understand a raised-wood floor system, with a crawl space beneath it, will be
constructed. Accordingly, floor slab recommendations for expansive soil conditions are
not necessary. However, the crawl space ceiling is recommended to be water-proofed,
as water vapor will most likely be elevated in the crawl space.
Structural Mat Foundations -Design/Construction
We recommend that the garage slab be designed as a structural mat, considering the
expansive soils at the site. The design of mat foundations should incorporate the vertical
modulus of subgrade reaction. This value is a unit value for a 1-foot square footing and
should be reduced in accordance with the following equation when used with the design
of larger foundations. This assumes that the bearing soils will consist of engineered fills
with an average relative compaction of 90 percent of the laboratory (ASTM D 1557),
overlying dense formatlonal earth materials.
K =K[B+1]2
R S 28
where: K5 = unit subgrade modulus
KR = reduced subgrade modulus

The modulus of subgrade reaction (K8) and effective Plasticity Index (Pl) to be used in mat
foundation design for various expansive soil conditions are presented in the following
table:

Reinforcement bar sizing and spacing for mat slab foundations should be provided by the
structural engineer. Mat slabs may be uniform thickness foundations (UTF) or may
incorporate the use of edge footings for moisture cut-off barriers as recommended herein
for post-tension foundations. Edge footings should be a minimum of 6 inches thick. The
bottom of the edge footing should be designed to resist tension, using reinforcement per
the structural engineer. The need and arrangement of interior grade beams (stiffening
beams) will be in accordance with the structural consultant's recommendations. The
recommendations for a mat type of foundation assume that the soils below the slab are
compacted fill overlying dense, unweathered formational earth materials. The parameters
herein are to mitigate the effects of expansive soils and should be modified to mitigate the
effects of the total and differential settlements reported earlier in this report.
GSI recommends that the slab subgrade materials be moisture conditioned to two (2)
percent above optimum moisture content to a minimum depth of 18 to 24 inches.
In order to mitigate the effects from post-development perched water and to impede water
vapor transmission, structural mats should be in accordance with Table 19.3.2.1 of
ACI 318-14 ACI (2014) per the 2022 CBC (CBSC, 2022), for low permeability concrete
(i.e., a maximum water-cement ratio of 0.50).
Exterior Flatwork
Exterior flatwork such as walkways and driveways should have a minimum thickness of
4 inches and be underlain by 4 inches of crushed aggregate base. Prior to base
placement, the upper 12 inches of the subgrade should be moisture conditioned to
2 percent above optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent
of the maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557 procedure).
Planting
Water has been shown to weaken the inherent strength of all earth materials. Only the
amount of irrigation necessary to sustain plant life should be provided. Over-watering
should be avoided as it can adversely affect site improvements, and cause perched
groundwater conditions. Plants selected for landscaping should be light weight, deep

Page 13
rooted types that require little water and are capable of surviving the prevailing climate.
Using plants other than those recommended above will increase the potential for perched
water, staining, mold, etc., to develop. A rodent control program to prevent burrowing
should be implemented. These recommendations regarding plant type, irrigation
practices, and rodent control should be provided to all interested/affected parties.
Drainage
Adequate lot surface drainage is a very important factor in reducing the likelihood of
adverse performance of foundations and hard scape. Surface drainage should be sufficient
to prevent ponding of water anywhere on the property, and especially near structures. Lot
surface drainage should be carefully taken into consideration during landscaping.
Therefore, care should be taken that future landscaping or construction activities do not
create adverse drainage conditions. Positive site drainage within the property should be
provided and maintained at all times. Water should be directed away from foundations and
not allowed to pond and/or seep into the ground. In general, the area within 5 feet around
a structure should slope away from the structure. We recommend that unpaved lawn and
landscape areas have a minimum gradient of 1 percent sloping away from structures, and
whenever possible, should be above adjacent paved areas. Consideration should be
given to avoiding construction of planters adjacent to structures. Site drainage should be
directed toward the street or other approved area(s). Downspouts, or drainage devices
should outlet a minimum of 5 feet from structures or into a subsurface drainage system.
Areas of seepage may develop due to irrigation or heavy rainfall, and should be
anticipated. Minimizing irrigation will lessen this potential. If areas of seepage develop,
recommendations for minimizing this effect could be provided upon request.
Landscape Maintenance
Over-watering the landscape areas will adversely affect existing and proposed site
improvements. We would recommend that any proposed open-bottom planters adjacent
to proposed structures be eliminated for a minimum distance of 10 feet. As an alternative,
closed-bottom type planters could be used . An outlet placed in the bottom of the planter,
could be installed to direct drainage away from structures or any exterior concrete flatwork.
If planters are constructed adjacent to structures, the sides and bottom of the planter
should be provided with a moisture retarder to prevent penetration of irrigation water into
the subgrade. Provisions should be made to drain the excess irrigation water from the
planters without saturating the subgrade below or adjacent to the planters. Consideration
should be given to the type of vegetation chosen and their potential effect upon surface
improvements (i.e., some trees will have an effect on concrete flatwork with their extensive
root systems). From a geotechnical standpoint leaching is not recommended for
establishing landscaping. If the surface soils are processed for the purpose of adding
amendments, they should be recompacted to 90 percent minimum relative compaction.

Subsurface and Surface Water
Subsurface and surface water are generally anticipated to not significantly affect site
development, provided that the recommendations contained in this report are properly
incorporated into final design and construction and that prudent surface and subsurface
drainage practices are incorporated into the construction plans. Perched groundwater
conditions along zones of contrasting permeabilities may not be precluded from occurring
in the future due to site irrigation, poor drainage conditions, or damaged utilities, and
should be anticipated. Should perched groundwater conditions develop, this office could
assess the affected area(s) and provide the appropriate recommendations to mitigate the
observed groundwater conditions. Groundwater conditions may change with the
introduction of irrigation, rainfall, or other factors.
Site Improvements
If any additional improvements (e.g., pools, spas, etc.) are planned for the site,
recommendations concerning the geological or geotechnical aspects of design and
construction of said improvements are recommended to be provided at that time. This
office should be notified in advance of any fill placement, grading of the site, or trench
backfilling after rough grading has been completed. This includes any grading, utility
trench, and retaining wall backfills.
Footing Trench Excavation
All footing excavations should be observed by a representative of this firm subsequent to
trenching and prior to concrete form and reinforcement placement. The purpose of the
observations is to verify that the excavations are made into the recommended bearing
material and to the minimum widths and depths recommended for construction. If loose
or compressible materials are exposed within the footing excavation, a deeper footing or
removal and recompaction of the subgrade materials would be recommended at that time.
In general, deepened footings beyond the minimum depths indicated herein will likely be
recommended, and should be anticipated. The Client may want to consider having a
representative of GSI onsite at the start of foundation trenching to evaluate the depth to
competent bearing soils and provide recommendations for footing embedment to the
contractor performing the work. Footing trench spoil and any excess soils generated from
utility trench excavations should be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of
90 percent, if not removed from the site.
Trenching
Considering the nature of the onsite soils, caving or sloughing could be a factor in
subsurface excavations and trenching. Shoring or excavating the trench walls at the angle
of repose (typically 25 to 45 degrees) may be necessary and should be anticipated. All
excavations should be observed by one of our representatives and minimally conform to
Cal-OSHA and local safety codes.

Utility Trench Backfill
1. All interior utility trench backfill should be brought to at least optimum moisture
content and then compacted to obtain a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent
of the laboratory standard. As an alternative for shallow (12-inch to 18-inch)
under-slab trenches, sand having a sand equivalent value of 30, or greater, may be
used and jetted or flooded into place. Observation, probing, and testing should be
provided to verify the desired results.
2. Exterior trenches adjacent to, and within, areas extending below a 1 : 1 plane
projected from the outside bottom edge of the footing, and all trenches beneath
hardscape features and in slopes, should be compacted to at least 90 percent of
the laboratory standard. Sand backfill, unless excavated from the trench, should
not be used in these backfill areas. Compaction testing and observations, along
with probing, should be accomplished to verify the desired results.
3. All trench excavations should conform to Cal-OSHA and local safety codes.
4. Utilities crossing grade beams, perimeter beams, or footings should either pass
below the footing or grade beam utilizing a hardened collar or foam spacer, or pass
through the footing or grade beam in accordance with the recommendations of the
structural engineer.
GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATION AND TESTING
We recommend that observation and/or testing be performed by GSI at each of the
following construction stages:
• During grading/recertification.
• During significant excavation (i.e., higher than 4 feet).
• During placement of subdrains or other subdrainage devices, prior to placing fill or
backfill.
• After excavation of building footings, retaining wall footings, and free standing walls
footings, prior to the placement of reinforcing steel or concrete.
• Prior to pouring any slabs or flatwork, after presoaking/presaturation of building
pads and other flatwork subgrade, before the placement of concrete, reinforcing
steel, capillary break (i.e., sand, pea-gravel, etc.), or vapor retarders (i.e., visqueen,
etc.).

• During placement of backfill for area drain, interior plumbing, utility line trenches,
and retaining wall backfill.
• When any unusual soil conditions are encountered during any construction
operations, after the issuance of this report.
• When any improvements, such as flatwork, spas, pools, walls, etc., are constructed.
• A report of geotechnical observation and testing should be provided at the
conclusion of each of the above stages, in order to provide concise and clear
documentation of site work, and/or to comply with code requirements.
OTHER DESIGN PROFESSIONALS/CONSULTANTS
The design civil engineer, structural engineer, architect, landscape architect, wall designer,
etc., should review the recommendations provided herein, incorporate those
recommendations into all their respective plans, and by explicit reference, make this report
part of their project plans. This report presents minimum design criteria for the design of
slabs, foundations and other elements possibly applicable to the project. These criteria
should not be considered as substitutes for actual designs by the structural
engineer/designer. The structural engineer/designer should analyze actual soil-structure
interaction and consider, as needed, bearing, expansive soil influence, and strength,
stiffness and deflections in the various slab, foundation, and other elements in order to
develop appropriate, design-specific details. As conditions dictate, it is possible that other
influences will also have to be considered. The structural engineer/designer should
consider all applicable codes and authoritative sources where needed. If analyses by the
structural engineer/designer result in less critical details than are provided herein as
minimums, the minimums presented herein should be adopted. It is considered likely that
some, more restrictive details will be required. If the structural engineer/designer has any
questions or requires further assistance, they should not hesitate to call or otherwise
transmit their requests to GSI. In order to mitigate potential distress, the foundation and/or
improvement's designer should confirm to GSI and the governing agency, in writing, that
the proposed foundations and/or improvements can tolerate the amount of differential
settlement and/or expansion characteristics and design criteria specified herein.

GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING GUIDELINES
GeoSoils, Inc.
GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING GUIDELINES
General
These guidelines present general procedures and requirements for earthwork and grading
as shown on the approved grading plans, including preparation of areas to be filled,
placement of fill, installation of subdrains, excavations, and appurtenant structures or
flatwork. The recommendations contained in the geotechnical report are part of these
earthwork and grading guidelines and would supercede the provisions contained hereafter
in the case of conflict. Evaluations performed by the consultant during the course of
grading may result in new or revised recommendations which could supercede these
guidelines or the recommendations contained in the geotechnical report. Generalized
details follow this text.
The contractor is responsible for the satisfactory completion of all earthwork in accordance
with provisions of the project plans and specifications and latest adopted Code. In the
case of conflict, the most onerous provisions shall prevail. The project geotechnical
engineer and engineering geologist (geotechnical consultant), and/or their representatives,
should provide observation and testing services, and geotechnical consultation during the
duration of the project.
EARTHWORK OBSERVATIONS AND TESTING
Geotechnical Consultant
Prior to the commencement of grading, a qualified geotechnical consultant (soil engineer
and engineering geologist) should be employed for the purpose of observing earthwork
procedures and testing the fills for general conformance with the recommendations of the
geotechnical report(s), the approved grading plans, and applicable grading codes and
ordinances.
The geotechnical consultant should provide testing and observation so that an evaluation
may be made that the work is being accomplished as specified. It is the responsibility of
the contractor to assist the consultants and keep them apprised of anticipated work
schedules and changes, so that they may schedule their personnel accordingly.
All remedial removals, clean-outs, prepared ground to receive fill, key excavations, and
subdrain installation should be observed and documented by the geotechnical consultant
prior to placing any fill. It is the contractor's responsibility to notify the geotechnical
consultant when such areas are ready for observation.
Laboratory and Field Tests
Maximum dry density tests to determine the degree of compaction should be performed
in accordance with American Standard Testing Materials test method ASTM designation
D 1557. Random or representative field compaction tests should be performed in
accordance with test methods ASTM designation D 1556, D 2937 or D 2922, and D 3017,
at intervals of approximately ±2 feet of fill hei_ght or approximately every 1,000 cubic yards
GeoSoils, Inc.
placed. These criteria would vary depending on the soil conditions and the size of the
project. The location and frequency of testing would be at the discretion of the
geotechnical consultant.
Contractor's Responsibility
All clearing, site preparation, and earthwork performed on the project should be conducted
by the contractor, with observation by a geotechnical consultant, and staged approval by
the governing agencies, as applicable. It is the contractor's responsibility to prepare the
ground surface to receive the fill, to the satisfaction of the geotechnical consultant, and to
place, spread, moisture condition, mix, and compact the fill in accordance with the
recommendations of the geotechnical consultant. The contractor should also remove all
non-earth material considered unsatisfactory by the geotechnical consultant.
Notwithstanding the services provided by the geotechnical consultant, it is the sole
responsibility of the contractor to provide adequate equipment and methods to accomplish
the earthwork in strict accordance with applicable grading guidelines, latest adopted
Codes or agency ordinances, geotechnical report(s), and approved grading plans.
Sufficient watering apparatus and compaction equipment should be provided by the
contractor with due consideration for the fill material, rate of placement, and climatic
conditions. If, in the opinion of the geotechnical consultant, unsatisfactory conditions such
as questionable weather, excessive oversized rock or deleterious material, insufficient
support equipment, etc., are resulting in a quality of work that is not acceptable, the
consultant will inform the contractor, and the contractor is expected to rectify the
conditions, and if necessary, stop work until conditions are satisfactory.
During construction, the contractor shall properly grade all surfaces to maintain good
drainage and prevent ponding of water. The contractor shall take remedial measures to
control surface water and to prevent erosion of graded areas until such time as permanent
drainage and erosion control measures have been installed.
SITE PREPARATION
All major vegetation, including brush, trees, thick grasses, organic debris, and other
deleterious material, should be removed and disposed of off-site. These removals must
be concluded prior to placing fill. In-place existing fill, soil, alluvium, colluvium, or rock
materials, as evaluated by the geotechnical consultant as being unsuitable, should be
removed prior to any fill placement. Depending upon the soil conditions, these materials
may be reused as compacted fills. Any materials incorporated as part of the compacted
fills should be approved by the geotechnical consultant.
Any underground structures such as cesspools, cisterns, mining shafts, tunnels, septic
tanks, wells, pipelines, or other structures not located prior to grading, are to be removed
or treated in a manner recommended by the geotechnical consultant. Soft, dry, spongy,
highly fractured, or otherwise unsuitable ground, extending to such a depth that surface
processing cannot adequately improve the condition, should be overexcavated down to
Peyton Bray and Ellen Cothran
File:e:\wp21 \8600\8640a.lge GeoSoils, Inc. Appendix D
Page 2
firm ground and approved by the geotechnical consultant before compaction and filling
operations continue. Overexcavated and processed soils, which have been properly
mixed and moisture conditioned, should be re-compacted to the minimum relative
compaction as specified in these guidelines.
Existing ground, which is determined to be satisfactory for support of the fills, should be
scarified (ripped) to a minimum depth of 6 to 8 inches, or as directed by the geotechnical
consultant. After the scarified ground is brought to optimum moisture content, or greater
and mixed, the materials should be compacted as specified herein. If the scarified zone
is greater than 6 to 8 inches in depth, it may be necessary to remove the excess and place
the material in lifts restricted to about 6 to 8 inches in compacted thickness.
Existing ground which is not satisfactory to support compacted fill should be
overexcavated as required in the geotechnical report, or by the on-site geotechnical
consultant. Scarification, disc harrowing, or other acceptable forms of mixing should
continue until the soils are broken down and free of large lumps or clods, until the working
surface is reasonably uniform and free from ruts, hollows, hummocks, mounds, or other
uneven features, which would inhibit compaction as described previously.
Where fills are to be placed on ground with slopes steeper than 5:1 (horizontal to vertical
[h:v]), the ground should be stepped or benched. The lowest bench, which will act as a
key, should be a minimum of 15 feet wide and should be at least 2 feet deep into firm
material, and approved by the geotechnical consultant. In fill-over-cut slope conditions,
the recommended minimum width of the lowest bench or key is also 15 feet, with the key
founded on firm material, as designated by the geotechnical consultant. As a general rule,
unless specifically recommended otherwise by the geotechnical consultant, the minimum
width of fill keys should be equal to ½ the height of the slope.
Standard benching is generally 4 feet (minimum) vertically, exposing firm, acceptable
material. Benching may be used to remove unsuitable materials, although it is understood
that the vertical height of the bench may exceed 4 feet. Pre-stripping may be considered
for unsuitable materials in excess of 4 feet in thickness.
All areas to receive fill, including processed areas, removal areas, and the toes of fill
benches, should be observed and approved by the geotechnical consultant prior to
placement of fill. Fills may then be properly placed and compacted until design grades
(elevations) are attained.
COMPACTED FILLS
Any earth materials imported or excavated on the property may be utilized in the fill
provided that each material has been evaluated to be suitable by the geotechnical
consultant. These materials should be free of roots, tree branches, other organic matter,
or other deleterious materials. All unsuitable materials should be removed from the fill as
directed by the geotechnical consultant. Soils of poor gradation, undesirable expansion

File:e:\wp21\8600\8640a.lge GeoSoils, Inc.
Appendix D
Page 3
potential, or substandard strength characteristics may be designated by the consultant as
unsuitable and may require blending with other soils to serve as a satisfactory fill material.
Fill materials derived from benching operations should be dispersed throughout the fill
area and blended with other approved material. Benching operations should not result in
the benched material being placed only within a single equipment width away from the
fill/bedrock contact.
Oversized materials defined as rock, or other irreducible materials, with a maximum
dimension greater than 12 inches, should not be buried or placed in fills unless the
location of materials and disposal methods are specifically approved by the geotechnical
consultant. Oversized material should be taken offsite, or placed in accordance with
recommendations of the geotechnical consultant in areas designated as suitable for rock
disposal. GSI anticipates that soils to be utilized as fill material for the subject project may
contain some rock. Appropriately, the need for rock disposal may be necessary during
grading operations on the site. From a geotechnical standpoint, the depth of any rocks,
rock fills, or rock blankets, should be a sufficient distance from finish grade. This depth is
generally the same as any overexcavation due to cut-fill transitions in hard rock areas, and
generally facilitates the excavation of structural footings and substructures. Should deeper
excavations be proposed (i.e., deepened footings, utility trenching, swimming pools, spas,
etc.), the developer may consider increasing the hold-down depth of any rocky fills to be
placed, as appropriate. In addition, some agencies/jurisdictions mandate a specific
hold-down depth for oversize materials placed in fills. The hold-down depth, and potential
to encounter oversize rock, both within fills, and occurring in cut or natural areas, would
need to be disclosed to all interested/affected parties. Once approved by the governing
agency, the hold-down depth for oversized rock (i.e., greater than 12 inches) in fills on this
project is provided as 10 feet, unless specified differently in the text of this report. The
governing agency may require that these materials need to be deeper, crushed, or
reduced to less than 12 inches in maximum dimension, at their discretion.
To facilitate future trenching, rock (or oversized material), should not be placed within the
hold-down depth feetfrom finish grade, the range of foundation excavations, future utilities,
or underground construction unless specifically approved by the governing agency, the
geotechnical consultant, and/or the developer's representative.
If import material is required for grading, representative samples of the materials to be
utilized as compacted fill should be analyzed in the laboratory by the geotechnical
consultant to evaluate it's physical properties and suitability for use onsite. Such testing
should be performed three (3) days prior to importation. If any material other than that
previously tested is encountered during grading, an appropriate analysis of this material
should be conducted by the geotechnical consultant as soon as possible.
Approved fill material should be placed in areas prepared to receive fill in near horizontal
layers, that when compacted, should not exceed about 6 to 8 inches in thickness. The
geotechnical consultant may approve thick lifts if testing indicates the grading procedures
are such that adequate compaction is being achieved with lifts of greater thickness. Each
Peyton Bray and Ellen Cothran
File:e:\wp21\8600\8640a.lge GeoSoils, Inc. Appendix D
Page4
layer should be spread evenly and blended to attain uniformity of material and moisture
suitable for compaction.
Fill layers at a moisture content less than optimum should be watered and mixed, and wet
fill layers should be aerated by scarification, or should be blended with drier material.
Moisture conditioning, blending, and mixing of the fill layer should continue until the fill
materials have a uniform moisture content at, or above, optimum moisture.
After each layer has been evenly spread, moisture conditioned, and mixed, it should be
uniformly compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of the maximum density as evaluated by
ASTM test designation D 1557, or as otherwise recommended by the geotechnical
consultant. Compaction equipment should be adequately sized and should be specifically
designed for soil compaction, or of proven reliability to efficiently achieve the specified
degree of compaction.
Where tests indicate that the density of any layer of fill, or portion thereof, is below the
required relative compaction, or improper moisture is in evidence, the particular layer or
portion shall be re-worked until the required density and/or moisture content has been
attained. No additional fill shall be placed in an area until the last placed lift offill has been
tested and found to meet the density and moisture requirements, and is approved by the
geotechnical consultant.
In general, per the latest adopted Code, fill slopes should be designed and constructed
at a gradient of 2:1 (h:v), or flatter. Compaction of slopes should be accomplished by over-
building a minimum of 3 feet horizontally, and subsequently trimming back to the design
slope configuration. Testing shall be performed as the fill is elevated to evaluate
compaction as the fill core is being developed. Special efforts may be necessary to attain
the specified compaction in the fill slope zone. Final slope shaping should be performed
by trimming and removing loose materials with appropriate equipment. A final evaluation
of fill slope compaction should be based on observation and/or testing of the finished
slope face. Where compacted fill slopes are designed steeper than 2:1 (h:v), prior
approval from the governing agency, specific material types, a higher minimum relative
compaction, special reinforcement, and special grading procedures will be recommended.
If an alternative to over-building and cutting back the compacted fill slopes is selected,
then special effort should be made to achieve the required compaction in the outer 1 O feet
of each lift of fill by undertaking the following:
1. An extra piece of equipment consisting of a heavy, short-shanked sheepsfoot
should be used to roll (horizontal) parallel to the slopes continuously as fill is
placed. The sheepsfoot roller should also be used to roll perpendicular to the
slopes, and extend out over the slope to provide adequate compaction to the face
of the slope.
2. Loose fill should not be spilled out over the face of the slope as each lift is
compacted. Any loose fill spilled over a previously completed slope face should be
trimmed off or be subject to re-rolling.
Peyton Bray and Ellen Cothran
File:e:\wp21 \8600\8640a.lge GeoSoils, Inc. Appendix D
Page 5
3. Field compaction tests will be made in the outer (horizontal) ±2 to ±8 feet of the
slope at appropriate vertical intervals, subsequent to compaction operations.
4. After completion of the slope, the slope face should be shaped with a small tractor
and then re-rolled with a sheepsfoot to achieve compaction to near the slope face.
Subsequent to testing to evaluate compaction, the slopes should be grid-rolled to
achieve compaction to the slope face. Final testing should be used to evaluate
compaction after grid rolling.
5. Where testing indicates less than adequate compaction, the contractor will be
responsible to rip , water, mix, and recompact the slope material as necessary to
achieve compaction. Additional testing should be performed to evaluate
compaction.
SUBORAIN INSTALLATION
Subdrains should be installed in approved ground in accordance with the approximate
alignment and details indicated by the geotechnical consultant. Subdrain locations or
materials should not be changed or modified without approval of the geotechnical
consultant. The geotechnical consultant may recommend and direct changes in subdrain
line, grade, and drain material in the field, pending exposed conditions. The location of
constructed subdrains, especially the outlets, should be recorded/surveyed by the project
civil engineer. Drainage at the subdrain outlets should be provided by the project civil
engineer.
EXCAVATIONS
Excavations and cut slopes should be examined during grading by the geotechnical
consultant. If directed by the geotechnical consultant, further excavations or
overexcavation and refilling of cut areas should be performed, and/or remedial grading of
cut slopes should be performed. When fill-over-cut slopes are to be graded, unless
otherwise approved, the cut portion of the slope should be observed by the geotechnical
consultant prior to placement of materials for construction of the fill portion of the slope.
The geotechnical consultant should observe all cut slopes, and should be notified by the
contractor when excavation of cut slopes commence.
If, during the course of grading, unforeseen adverse or potentially adverse geologic
conditions are encountered, the geotechnical consultant should investigate, evaluate, and
make appropriate recommendations for mitigation of these conditions. The need for cut
slope buttressing or stabilizing should be based on in-grading evaluation by the
geotechnical consultant, whether anticipated or not.
Unless otherwise specified in geotechnical and geological report(s), no cut slopes should
be excavated higher or steeper than that allowed by the ordinances of controlling
Peyton Bray and Ellen Cothran
File:e:\wp21 \8600\8640a.lge GeoSoils, Inc. Appendix D
Page 6
governmental agencies. Additionally, short-term stability of temporary cut slopes is the
contractor's responsibility.
Erosion control and drainage devices should be designed by the project civil engineer and
should be constructed in compliance with the ordinances of the controlling governmental
agencies, and/or in accordance with the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant.
COMPLETION
Observation, testing, and consultation by the geotechnical consultant should be
conducted during the grading operations in order to state an opinion that all cut and fill
areas are graded in accordance with the approved project specifications. After completion
of grading, and after the geotechnical consultant has finished observations of the work,
final reports should be submitted, and may be subject to review by the controlling
governmental agencies. No further excavation or filling should be undertaken without prior
notification of the geotechnical consultant or approved plans.
All finished cut and fill slopes should be protected from erosion and/or be planted in
accordance with the project specifications and/or as recommended by a landscape
architect. Such protection and/or planning should be undertaken as soon as practical after
completion of grading.
JOB SAFETY
General
At GSI, getting the job done safely is of primary concern. The following is the company's
safety considerations for use by all employees on multi-employer construction sites.
On-ground personnel are at highest risk of injury, and possible fatality, on grading and
construction projects. GSI recognizes that construction activities will vary on each site, and
that site safety is the prime responsibility of the contractor; however, everyone must be
safety conscious and responsible at all times. To achieve our goal of avoiding accidents,
cooperation between the client, the contractor, and GSI personnel must be maintained.
In an effort to minimize risks associated with geotechnical testing and observation, the
following precautions are to be implemented for the safety of field personnel on grading
and construction projects:
Safety Meetings: GSI field personnel are directed to attend contractor's regularly
scheduled and documented safety meetings.
Safety Vests: Safety vests are provided for, and are to be worn by GSI personnel,
at all times, when they are working in the field.
Peyton Bray and Ellen Cothran
Flle:e:\wp21 \8600\8640a.lge GeoSoils, Inc. Appendix D
Page?
Safety Flags: Two safety flags are provided to GSI field technicians; one is to be
affixed to the vehicle when on site, the other is to be placed atop the
spoil pile on all test pits.
Flashing Lights: All vehicles stationary in the grading area shall use rotating or flashing
amber beacons, or strobe lights, on the vehicle during all field testing.
While operating a vehicle in the grading area, the emergency flasher
on the vehicle shall be activated.
In the event that the contractor's representative observes any of our personnel not
following the above, we request that it be brought to the attention of our office.
Test Pits Location, Orientation, and Clearance
The technician is responsible for selecting test pit locations. A primary concern should be
the technician's safety. Efforts will be made to coordinate locations with the grading
contractor's authorized representative, and to select locations following or behind the
established traffic pattern, preferably outside of current traffic. The contractor's authorized
representative (supervisor, grade checker, dump man, operator, etc.) should direct
excavation of the pit and safety during the test period. Of paramount concern should be
the soil technician's safety, and obtaining enough tests to represent the fill.
Test pits should be excavated so that the spoil pile is placed away from oncoming traffic,
whenever possible. The technician's vehicle is to be placed next to the test pit, opposite
the spoil pile. This necessitates the fill be maintained in a driveable condition.
Alternatively, the contractor may wish to park a piece of equipment in front of the test
holes, particularly in small fill areas or those with limited access.
A zone of non-encroachment should be established for all test pits. No grading equipment
should enter this zone during the testing procedure. The zone should extend
approximately 50 feet outward from the center of the test pit. This zone is established for
safety and to avoid excessive ground vibration, which typically decreases test results.
When taking slope tests, the technician should park the vehicle directly above or below the
test location. If this is not possible, a prominent flag should be placed at the top of the
slope. The contractor's representative should effectively keep all equipment at a safe
operational distance (e.g., 50 feet) away from the slope during this testing.
The technician is directed to withdraw from the active portion of the fill as soon as possible
following testing. The technician's vehicle should be parked at the perimeter of the fill in
a highly visible location, well away from the equipment traffic pattern. The contractor
should inform our personnel of all changes to haul roads, cut and fill areas or other factors
that may affect site access and site safety.
In the event that the technician's safety is jeopardized or compromised as a result of the
contractor's failure to comply with any of the above, the technician is required, by company
Peyton Bray and Ellen Cothran
Flle:e:\wp21 \8600\8640a.lge GeoSoils, Inc. Appendix D
Page 8
policy, to immediately withdraw and notify his/her supervisor. The grading contractor's
representative will be contacted in an effort to affect a solution. However, in the interim,
no further testing will be performed until the situation is rectified. Any fill placed can be
considered unacceptable and subject to reprocessing, recompaction, or removal.
In the event that the soil technician does not comply with the above or other established
safety guidelines, we request that the contractor bring this to the technician's attention and
notify this office. Effective communication and coordination between the contractor's
representative and the soil technician is strongly encouraged in order to implement the
above safety plan.
Trench and Vertical Excavation
It is the contractor's responsibility to provide safe access into trenches where compaction
testing is needed. Our personnel are directed not to enter any excavation or vertical cut
which: 1) is 5 feet or deeper unless shored or laid back; 2) displays any evidence of
instability, has any loose rock or other debris which could fall into the trench; or 3) displays
any other evidence of any unsafe conditions regardless of depth.
All trench excavations or vertical cuts in excess of 5 feet deep, which any person enters,
should be shored or laid back. Trench access should be provided in accordance with
Cal/OSHA and/or state and local standards. Our personnel are directed not to enter any
trench by being lowered or "riding down" on the equipment.
If the contractor fails to provide safe access to trenches for compaction testing, our
company policy requires that the soil technician withdraw and notify his/her supervisor.
The contractor's representative will be contacted in an effort to affect a solution. All backfill
not tested due to safety concerns or other reasons could be subject to reprocessing and/or
removal.
If GSI personnel become aware of anyone working beneath an unsafe trench wall or
vertical excavation, we have a legal obligation to put the contractor and owner/developer
on notice to immediately correct the situation. If corrective steps are not taken, GSI then
has an obligation to notify Cal/OSHA and/or the proper controlling authorities.
