Mr. Montgomery:
At your request, Skyline Geotechnical, Inc. has performed periodic installation observation and
review of the attached installation logs and data for the driven underpinning piles installed by
Ram Jack at the referenced site. Based on our observations and review, the following is noted:
• Piles installations observed and documented in the attached logs (by RamJack) appear to
achieve depths at or greater than indicated on the approved project plans and extend to
appropriate bearing material as specified in the project documents.
• Pressure reported on the RamJack installation logs indicated adequate resistance for the
installed piles.
• Excavations created for the purpose of pile bracket installation completed at this time
may be backfilled.
This document is subject to the same limitations as the previous geotechnical documents. The
opportunity to be of service is appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact our office.

Mr. Montgomery:
At your request, Skyline Geotechnical, Inc. has performed periodic installation observation and
review of the installation logs and data for the driven underpinning piles installed by Ram Jack at
the referenced site. Based on our observations and review, the following is noted:
• Piles installations observed and documented in the attached logs (by RamJack) appear to
achieve depths at or greater than indicated on the approved project plans and extend to
appropriate bearing material as specified in the project documents.
• Pressure reported on the RamJack installation logs indicated adequate resistance for the
installed piles.
• Excavations created for the purpose of pile bracket installation completed at this time
may be backfilled.
This document is subject to the same limitations as the previous geotechnical documents. The
opportunity to be of service is appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact our office.

Subject : REVIEW OF FOUNDATION PLANS
PROPOSED MARIPOSA ST. PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS
2251 ALTISMA WAY
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
Dear Ms. Carlson:
Project No. 23-027R.I
As requested, Skyline Geotechnical, Inc. (Skyline) has reviewed the referenced foundation plans for the
proposed deep foundation improvements at the subject site. The purpose of our review was to identify
potential conflicts with the recommendations presented in,the referenced geotechnical documents, as
they pertain to the proposed improvements.
Based on our review, the Skyline project number should be revised from 23-027R.I to 24-027R.I with a
date of May 8, 2024 (Revised May 24, 2024) on Sheet Sl of the foundation plans. It may also be
appropriate to remove "Single Family Dwelling" from the project title. With the exception of the above
mentioned reference, the reviewed plans appear to be in substantial conformance with the applicable
recommendations presented in the project preliminary geotechnical investigation report.
This document is subject to the same limitations as the referenced preliminary geotechnical report. The
opportunity to be of service is appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact our office.

Disclaimer
Hazard loads are Interpolated from data provided In ASCE 7 and rounded up to the nearest whole integer. Per ASCE 7, islands and coastal areas outside
the last contour should use the last wind speed contour of the coastal area -in some cases, this website will extrapolate past the last wind speed contour
and therefore, provide a wind speed that is slightly higher. NOTE: For queries near wind-borne debris region boundaries, the resulting determination Is
sensitive to rounding which may affect whether or not it Is considered to be within a wind-borne debris region.

-Per designer input, the tensile component of the strength-level earthquake force applied to anchors does not exceed 20 percent of the total
factored anchor tensile force associated with the same load combination. Therefore the ductility requirements of ACI 318 17.2.3.4.2 for tension
need not be satisfied -designer to verify.
-Per designer input, ductility requirements for shear have been determined to be satisfied -designer to verify.
-Designer must exercise own judgement to determine if this design is suitable.
-Refer to manufacturer's product literature for hole cleaning and installation instructions.
Input data and results must be checked for agreement with the existing circumstances, the standards and guidelines must be checked for plausibility.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
In accordance with your authorization of proposal P24-039A dated March 23, 2024, Skyline
Geotechnical, Inc. (Skyline} has completed a limited geotechnical investigation of the existing
slope failure and evaluated structural distress at the subject site (Figure 1). The following report
presents the results of our field evaluation and provides design recommendations for surficial
stabilization and protection of the existing slope face in addition to possible deck foundation
options.
2.0 PROJECT HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION
Based on conversations with the client and review of previously prepared geotechnical reports,
Skyline understands a slope failure occurred in 2016 when a waterline ruptured near the top of
the existing slope. This failure was mapped and evaluated by SMS Geotechnical Solutions, Inc in
2017. In 1994 Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc performed a limited geotechnical
evaluation of the structure and identified cracking in the slab in units 101 and 102. In 2015 and
2016 a visual assessment of foundation performance was performed by Private Eyes Engineers
and identified several . cracks in the slab of Unit 9 and performed a floor level survey at the
ground level of the entire structure. This survey identified an approximate 2.0 inch tilt in the
direction of the slope.
The existing slope that was evaluated for this project generally consists of an approximately six
to 26 feet high 1.5:1 (horizontal: vertical) slope that descends from the western limit of the
building pad (Figure 2A) with the greatest height extending from the southwestern portion of
the building pad. Site elevations were based on field measurements and the topographic map
provided by Rancho Coastal Engineering & Surveying.
3.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
To evaluate the failure and potential impact to site improvements, the following scope of
services were provided:
• Review of available geotechnical reports, regional geologic maps, and other applicable
documents.
• Geotechnical reconnaissance of the slope and structure.
• Subsurface investigation consisting of excavating three exploratory borings and sampling
utilizing limited-access excavation equipment.
• Performed a Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) Test at the top of the slope near the
existing structure.
• Laboratory testing of soil samples collected during the investigation.
• Performed engineering analysis of the slope and adjacent areas.
• Preparation of this report presenting findings, conclusions, and recommendations for
slope stabilization.

4.0 RECONNAISSANCE
Based on review of previous geotechnical reports.and historical photographs, it appears the site
was graded in the early 1970's ·with Benton Engineering performing testing and observation
during fill placement. It is anticipated, based on review of the as graded plan and Benton
Engineering's Final Report of Compacted Fill Ground, Lots 229 to 242 that up to approximately
30 feet of fill was placed during grading the site building pad.
During our geotechnical reconnaissance, cracking was observed on the column west of Unit 9
where the top of slope is closest to the structure. Additional cracking and signs of settlement
were observed on the exterior flatwork along the western portion of the structure.
5.0 SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
Skyline conducted a subsurface investigation at the site on March 27, 2024 that consisted of a
geologic reconnaissance and excavation of two exploratory borings and a DCP. Due to limited
access and sloping terrain, the borings were excavated with a manually advanced three-inch
diameter solid-stem auger to a maximum depth of approximately 17.9 feet below existing grade
(beg} in Boring B-1. Other manual equipment was utilized to assist the borings due to the
abundance of gravel and cobble. Soil samples were collected from the exhumed material for
laboratory testing.
A Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) test was performed at the top of the slope near the north-
central portion of the structure to quantify fiU density.
The subsurface investigation was performed by a Certified Engineering Geologist experienced in
performing geotechnical field investigations. Geologic logging of the explorations was
performed using visual and tactile methods to classify soil types in accordance with the Unified
Soil Classification System (USCS) and to identify geologic units. The exploration locations are
illustrated on Figure 2 and the exploration logs are presented in Appendix B.
6.0 LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing was conducted on soil samples collected during the subsurface investigation
to determine engineering properties and mechanical characteristics of site subgrade. Skyline
also incorporated data presented in the referenced geotechnical documents. The tests
performed for this project included: Modified Proctor (Max Density) and remolded direct shear
test. All laboratory testing was performed in accordance with ASTM, CTM, or other approved
procedures. Laboratory test procedures and results are presented in Appendix C.
7.0 GEOLOGY
The following sections are based on review of published regional geologic studies and
subsurface data collected for this project. The compiled information provides a general
description of the geomorphic province and a detailed description of site geologic conditions.
SKYLINE PROJECT NO. P24-027R.I
08MAY2024 (rev 05/24/2024)
PAGE 3
In addition, typical geologic hazards encountered in the region have been evaluated and are
presented below.
7.1 Regional Geology
The subject site is located within the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Province the occupies
the southwestern portion of the state. This Province is bounded by the Transverse Ranges
to the north, Colorado Desert to the east., Mexico the south, and the Pacific Ocean the west.
Prior to the Mesozoic, the Province was covered with thick sequences of marine
sedimentary and volcanic deposits. During the Cretaceous, the sedimentary deposits were
intruded by the southern California batholith resulting in mountain building throughout the
province. Beginning in the early Tertiary and continuing to present day, the region has
experienced extensive faulting and uplift creating steep elongated northwest trending
mountain ranges and intervening valleys.
San Diego County consists of three geomorphic subzones that consist of the Coastal Plain,
Central Mountains, and eastern Mountain Valley. The site is located within the Coastal Plain
subzone that consists of late Mesozoic to Quaternary near-shore marine sedimentary
deposits that onlap an eroded basement surface consisting Jurassic and Cretaceous
crystalline rock.
7.2 Site Geologic Conditions
The site geology was evaluated based on regional geologic mapping by Kennedy and Tan
(2007), Geologic reconnaissance, and observation of exhumed materials from the
exploratory borings (Figure 3). General descriptions of the geologic units encountered at the
site are provided below. Detailed descriptions of observed geologic conditions encountered
in the explorations are provided on the boring logs in Appendix B and a geologic cross
section is presented on Figure 2A.
7 .2.1 Quaternary Previously Placed Fill
Previously Placed Fill was observed in both borings that extended to a maximum depth
of 11.9 feet below existing grade (beg) in Boring B-1. This unit generally consists of stiff
or loose to medium dense, light yellowish brown to grayish brown, clayey fine to
medium grained sand and sandy clay. Isolated areas with deeper fill may be
encountered during grading.
7 .2.2 Tertiary Santiago Formation
The Tertiary Santiago Formation was observed in Boring B-1 at a depth of approximately
11.9 feet. This unit generally consists of medium dense to dense of very stiff to hard,
light olive to light yellowish olive, silty to clayey fine to medium grained sandstone and
sandy claystone. This unit is anticipated at depth throughout the site.
SKYLINE PROJECT NO. P24-027R.I
08MAY2024 (rev 05/24/2024)
PAGE 4
7 .3 Geologic Structure
Based on review of regional geologic maps and geologic reconnaiss~nce performed during
the subsurface investigation, the geologic units underlying the site were found to be
generally flat sedimentary deposits with moderate to thick bedding that generally dip at five
to seven degrees southwest. No known faults or significant structural features are mapped
or observed in the site area.
7 .4 Groundwater Conditions
At the time of our subsurface investigatibn, groundwater was not observed in any of the
explorations that extended to a maximum depth of 17.9 feet beg. Based on regional
topography and experience in the area, groundwater is anticipated at depths greater than
50 feet beg. However, localized seepage may be encountered as a result of significant
precipitation, poor drainage, leaking pipes, excessive irrigation, or other man-made sources.
Provided seepage is not encountered during grading (or identified and mitigated), and
proper site drainage is designed and installed in accordance with the project civil engineer's
recommendations, groundwater is not anticipated to impact site grading of the proposed
improvements.
7.5 Slope Stability
An evaluation of slope stability was performed by utilizing field and laboratory data to
determine subsurface geologic conditions and soil strength values. This data, combined
with slop e geometry, was entered into the SLOPEW program to determine slope failure
potential at the subject site.
Based on laboratory direct shear testing and conservative assumed values, the soil strength
values utilized for the Previously Placed Fill was phi of 22.0 degrees (Lab results: 22 to 26
degrees) and cohesion of 350 psf (Lab results: 364 to 380), for the Landslide Deposits a phi
of 20 degrees and a cohesion of 150 psf, and the Santiago Formation a phi of 30.0 degrees
and cohesion of 300 psf. Based on these values and other location specific input data, the
existing slope exhibits a global factor of safety greater than 1.5, which indicates the slope is
generally resistant to deep seated slope instabilities. The results of this analysis are
presented in Appendix E.
Skyline provides recommendations for surficial failures and mitigation recommendations for
increased global stability in this report. The recommendations presented herein are to be
considered at the discretion of the owner/governing authority. Mitigation
recommendations for global stability will exhibit a global factor of safety greater than 1.5,
which is considered to be resistant to deep seated slope instabilities.

8.0 CONCLUSIONS
The following conclusions are based on site reconnaissance, geologic observations performed
during the subsurface investigation, laboratory testing, and slope stability analysis.
Based on the slope stability analysis, the slope exhibits a factor of safety of greater than 1.5 in
its current condition, which is considered to be generally resistant to deep seated slope failures.
However, due to the relatively steep angle of the slope and loose nature of the fill material,
continued erosion, sloughing, and additional minor failures are anticipated. Therefore, Skyline
is presenting recommendations for a surficial slope retention system made up of a tiered pipe
and board retaining wall system.
Based on the relatively thick layer of Quaternary Previous Placed Fill beneath the existing
structure, distress is likely being caused by settlement and consolidation of the underlying unit.
As such, Skyline is presenting recommendations for underpinning of the existing structure in
order to be supported by the native underlying unit less susceptible to consolidation under the
accepted loading. The installation professional should take the recommendations presented
below and develop a system of underpinning elements that will support the anticipated loading.
Skyline is not responsible for the calculation of existing building load or design of the
underpinning system or elements.
The existing slope has a slope angle of approximately 1.5:1 (horizontal: vertical), which is
steeper than the typically recommended 2:1 graded slope.
9.0 REPAIR AND GRADING RECOMMENDATIONS
Skyline has provided the following drilled helical pile and driven pile foundation underpinning
recommendations for support of the existing two-story condominium improvements.
Furthermore, slope stabilization recommendation options for slope remediation are provided
herein. A pipe and board retaining wall will offer a surficial stabilization fix that will reduce the
potential for future erosion/minor surficial failures and a more substantial mechanical earth
anchor (soil nail) fix that will both decrease surficial failures and increase the overall global
stability of the slope. It is anticipated that the soil nail slope retention system is not considered
necessary based on the model stability of the slope have a factor of safety of greater than 1.5.
The slope and underpinning improvements should be evaluated once preliminary plans are
developed by the installation contractor. Skyline can also run a slope stability on proposed pipe
and board retaining wall improvements to determine its increase in stability.
As mentioned, Skyline has provided a surficial stabilization/mitigation measure to reduce
potential for surficial failures and sloughing as observed during the field investigation. This
measure consists of the installation of a Pipe and Board tiered wall system. The wall system
would be installed on the slope face to mitigate erosion and provide some resistance to minor
failures similar to those that have recently occurred. The Pipe and Board method would require
periodic maintenance, vegetation and/or other surface protection, and will not provide

substantial increased resistance to global, deep-seated instabilities. Conceptual Pipe and Board
details are provided in Figure 5 and a conceptual Pipe and Board installation layout is provided
in Figure 2B. All depths, spacing, and construction elements should be designed by a structural
engineering or the installation contractor.
9.1 Site Excavation
Based on anticipated conditions, planned excavations of site subgrade is likely to require
moderate effort with standard construction equipment. Excavation within the Tertiary
Santiago Formation is anticipated to become more difficult with depth. Although not
anticipated due to the relatively shallow depth of anticipated excavation, grading may
encounter cemented gravel and cobble layers.
9.2 Fill Material
The on -site soil is considered suitable for reuse as engineered fill, provided the organic
material and debris are removed prior to placement. If site soil has a potential to be
medium to highly expansive, additional testing should be performed to determine suitability
for reuse. Other laboratory testing to determine soil characteristics may be recommended
based on visual observations. Rock clasts greater than three inches in diameter should be
removed from the upper three feet of compacted fill.
Import fill intended for use as engineered fill should have a low expansion potential (El of SO
or less). Imported fill soils should be sampled, evaluated, and approved by the project
Geotechnical Engineer before import to the site.
Permanent retaining wall and subterranean wall backfill located within a 1:1 (horizontal:
vertical) extending up from the bottom rear of the foundation should consist of very low
expansion potential soils (Expansion Index of 20 or less) with less than 30 percent passing
the No. 200 sieve. The project structural engineer and/or architect should design proper
drainage behind the walls.
9.3 Fill Placement and Compaction
Compacted fill should be placed in horizontal lifts with thicknesses determined by
equipment used, but generally not exceed 10 inches in loose thickness. Prior to
compaction, the fill material should be moisture conditioned to above optimum moisture
content and blended to produce uniform moisture content. Once the fill material is
properly moisture conditioned it should be compacted to a minimum 90 percent relative
compaction as determined by ASTM D1557. Fill placement and compaction should be
observed and tested by a Skyline representative during grading.

SKYLINE
-.--GEOTEC HNI CAL PAGE 7
9.4 Graded Slopes
Based on anticipated soil strengths, all unreinforced cut and fill slopes should be graded at a
ratio of 2:1 (horizontal: vertical) or flatter. It is recommended that fill slopes be overbuilt
and cut to finished grade, to ensure proper compaction and performance of the slope face.
All permanent constructed slopes should exhibit a factor of safety greater than 1.5.
Although the proposed graded slopes are anticipated depending on remediation system
chosen, surficial failure and sloughing cannot be precluded if not protected from erosion
and saturation. Therefore, properly designed drainage should be installed and erosion-
resistant vegetation should be planted and maintained on the face of all slopes. Placement
Jute Mat or Jute netting is also highly recommended prior to the planting of vegetation.
Additionally, the project civil engineer should further design drainage that does not allow
surface water to drain over slope faces or into slope structure.
9.5 Lateral Resistance and Earth Pressures
Lateral loads acting against structures and permanent retaining walls may be resisted by
friction between the footings and the supporting soil or passive pressure acting against
structures. If frictional resistance is used, allowable coefficients of friction of 0.28 (total
frictional resistance equals the coefficient of friction multiplied by the dead load) for
concrete cast directly against compacted fill or native material is recommended. A design
passive resistance value of 150 pounds per square foot per foot of depth {with a maximum
value of 1,500 pounds per square foot) may be used for foundations embedded into
previously placed fill material with a minimum horizontal distance to daylight of 10 feet.
Passive resistance may be increased to 300 pcf for portions of foundation embedded into
competent native material. The allowable lateral resistance can be taken as the sum of the
frictional resistance and the passive resistance, provided the passive resistance does not
exceed two-thirds of the total allowable resistance.
Retaining walls backfilled using granular soils may be designed using the equivalent fluid
unit weights given in the table below. As previously stated, retaining wall parameters herein
are assuming all retaining wall backfill within a 45° {1:1) wedge extending up from the
bottom base of the wall consists of cohesionless material with a minimum internal friction
angle of 30° or greater.

RESTRAINED WALL 60 86 (AT-REST)
Lateral pressures on cantilever retaining walls (yielding walls) over six feet high due to
earthquake motions may be ca lculated based on work by Seed and Whitman (1970). For
restrained, non-yielding, retaining walls, the total lateral earth pressure may be similarly
calculated based on work by Wood (1973). Other methods of calculation may be used at
the discretion of the structural engineer as approved by Skyline. The static and increment of
dynamic earth pressure in both cases may be applied with a line of action located at H/3
above the bottom of the wall {SEAOC, 2013).
The values presented herein consider non to very-low expansive potential backfill/retained
soil and free-draining conditions. Design and construction shou ld be conducted to avoid the
accumulation of moisture and generation of hydrostatic pressure behind retaining walls.
Drainage should be designed so it ensures water does not collect behind the wall and
instead is redirected by dimpled drain board with filter fabric (J-Drain or similar) or porous
drainage aggregate (minimum 12 inches thick conta ined by filter fabric) in combination with
perforated piping. All drains shou ld discharge to an appropriate location determined by the
project civi l engineer. Waterproofing may be required at the architect or civil engineer's
discretion. Further drainage recommendations are presented in section 9.9 of this report.
9.6 Pipe and Board Retaining Wall System
The following pipe and board retaining wall recommendations are surficial failure mitigation
measure to reduce near surface failures, sloughi ng and erosion. This method is construction
with treated lumber and therefore should be considered semi-temporary in nature and may
require periodic maintenance to increase the longevity of the finished product. This
mitigation method would consist of the installation of a pipe and board tiered wall system.
This system would be installed on the slope face to reduce erosion and provide some
resistance t o minor fai lures. A conceptual detail drawing of the pipe and board wall system,
including drainage, is presented in Figu re 5. A conceptual cross section is presented in
Figure 2B.

-.--GEOTEC HNICAL PAGE 9
9.6.1 Pipe and Board Wall Recommendations
The slope in its current condition has the potential for additional erosion and minor
failures due to loose surficial soil and organic debris. Therefore, as a surficial failure
mitigation method Skyline recommends post and board be installed throughout the
entirety of the effected slope area. A pipe and board wall can be designed by the
project structural or civil engineer of record based on the recommendations presented
herein.
Schedule 80 galvanized pipe (corrosion resistant) with a minimum diameter of 2-7 /8"
inches should be embedded a minimum of two times the depth of retained soil, seven
feet below bottom of wall, and to competent material, whichever is greatest. In lieu of
embedment two times the wall height, a wider foundation may be constructed out of
unreinforced concrete with a minimum unconfined compressive strength of PSI of 2,500.
Minimum daylight conditions discussed in this report should be considered for any
foundation design.
Minimum 2"x12" pressure-treated lumber boards should be laterally supported by the
galvanized pipe and anchored to the pipe with adequate bracketing. Dual layers of
pressure treated 2"x12" lumber may be used where pressure exceeds the capacity of
one 2"x12". Pipes should be spaced no greater than four feet on-center but as per
recommended by design engineer and/or installation contractor.
Passive lateral capacity may be utilized below a depth of 10 inches when a minimum
distance to daylight of four feet is attained. The reduction factors in the table below
sh ould be used in design until a minimum of 7 feet distance to daylight is obtained.
Pipes may be driven (pipe only) or drilled/excavated and concreted depending on
passive resistance required. Slurry/grout may be used if foundation excavation diameter
is 8 inches or less. Drilled pipe pile excavations should be backfilled with a minimum of
2500 psi cementitious material. An effective width of 2.0 times the diameter for lateral
support may be used due to passive arching of the supporting soil on a round or drilled
supporting element for walls not adversely effected by up to ½ inch of movement at the
top of the foundations. The pipe itself may also be filled with high-strength grout in
order to increase the bending resistance of the vertical support.
Pipe and board retaining walls not supporting structures and not attempting to
contribute to a global stability increase may be considered landscaping features and
design parameters herein may be adjusted. Skyline can be provided preliminary pipe
and board retaining wall plans for approved based on intended usage.

PAGE 10
Pipe and board walls should be installed with appropriate drainage. Drainage should
consist of a dimple drain board (J-Drain or similar) along the rear height of the wall
sweeping horizontally (minimum one foot) into the slope at the bottom of the wall. A
perforated pipe encased in a filter fabric drain sleeve (filter sock) should run along the
rear bottom length of the wall to capture any moisture from the dimple board. The
perforated pipe should drain to and be collected by a non-perforated pipe gravity
draining down the slope and daylighting to a proper discharge location
9. 7 Mechanically Stabilized Friction Anchor Retaining Walls
As Skyline understands, the proposed slope stabilization improvements may be designed
using a mechanically stability friction anchor wall (soil nails and reinforced shotcrete). As
such, Skyline1s preliminary recommendations are provided herein based on the observed
site conditions and laboratory testing.
SKYLINE PROJECT NO. P24-027R.I
08MAY2024 (rev 05/24/2024)
PAGE 11
Geotechnical friction anchors (soil-nails) would assist in lateral and shear support of the
1.5:1 (horizontal: vertical) slope. As such, a properly designed soil nail and reinforced
shotcrete stabilization system is anticipated to eliminate surficial failures and sloughing.
Skyline should review and run a final slope stability analysis.
For design purposes, it may be estimated that drilled friction anchors will develop an
average friction of 900 psf for the grouted portion of the soil nails drilled beyond the
anticipated failure plane. For design purposes the failure plane can be assumed to mimic
that of the slope stability analysis presented at the end of this report. The failure plane may
be modified based on review of the final design plans and slope stability evaluation. Pullout
friction should only be considered for portion of the nail embedded past the predicted
slide/failure plane.
Friction anchors should be a minimum six (6) inches in diameter and the should extend a
minimum 15 feet beyond the anticipated failure plane as described above. Actual friction
anchor length should be calculated by the structural engineer or record or a design-build
installation contractor's engineer. As such, greater depths may be required to develop the
desired capacities. Based on soil nail construction methods and requirement to fill all voids
created by drilling, grouting the entire length of soil nail should be performed. To reiterate,
only portions of the soil nail passed the failure plane should be used in stability/retention
calculations. Skyline should review all design plans • and calculations prior to
implementation.
Based on the near gradient of the anticipated final slope angle and trial runs of Slope/W,
soil-nail anchors should generally be installed between angles of 20° to 40° degrees below
horizontal for shotcrete constructed at the proposed final slope shotcrete face
angle/gradient. Th e soil nail design professional will determine the most efficient angle of
the friction anchors. Soil nail wall may also be a series of near vertical tiered walls. As such,
the angle below horizontal will be decreased based on wall batter and height. These values
should be confirmed once the preliminary design has been completed and the final layback
angle of the shotcrete wall face(s) is/are determined. A conceptual drawing is presented in
Figure 6.
Anchors should be filled from the tip outward. As standard construction practice, skyline
recommends the entire length of the nail be grouted. The minimum compressive strength
for grout should be 1,500 pounds per square inch (psi) at 3 days, and 3,500 psi at 28 days, or
per design engineer of record as tested in accordance with ASTM C109. Although not
anticipated, localized caving of cohesionless soils may occur during anchor drilling and the
contractor should have adequate means for mitigation.
To ensure proper embedment beyond the anticipated failure plane, a Skyline representative
should observe all anchor installations. Final design capacities should be developed based
on the installation technique and verified by indicator or "test" anchors.
SKYLINE PROJECT NO. P24-027R.I
08MAY2024 (rev 05/24/2024)
PAGE 12
To verify the friction/bond strength value used in design, anchors can be load tested to at
least 133% of design load in accordance with the Post Tensioning Institute (PTI), FHWA, or
governing authority determined by the local jurisdiction. Depending on bonded length, may
be necessary to test anchors based on friction of the entire bonded length and subtract the
portion of the nail withing the active wedge of the anticipated failure or test a partially
grouted soil nail/friction anchor. As such, specific "test nails" may be installed with limited
bonding length in order to have a more controlled test. Following installation, the grout can
be removed by flushing using a tremie pipe and water. The unbonded zone may also be
created through isolation by using a pre-installed smooth-casing bond breaker or by other
approved means and methods.
Skyline should observe installation of the anchors and all load testing. The contractor shall
supply information on the hydraulic jacks verifying that they have been recently calibrated
before their use. All friction anchors should be designed utilizing a minimum factor of safety
of 1.5 or as determined by the structural engineer of record.
Although not necessary, it may be beneficial to perform monit(?ring of settlement and
horizontal movement of the adjacent structural improvements within 30 horizontal feet of
the slope crest on a minimum weekly basis during installation and excavation in order to
confirm that actual movements are within tolerable limits. If determined necessary, the
number and location of monitoring points shall be indicated on the shoring plans; Skyline
can review such locations and proposed monitoring schedule once prepared and provided
by the shoring contractor.
9.8 Helical or Driven Pile Building Underpinning
Skyline recommends the structural foundations of the existing building be underpinned to
help reduce the potential for future settlement and subsequent distress. To underpin the
structure, properly designed and embedded helical or hydraulically driven piles should
extend to a depth to achieve a minimum three feet embedment into competent, native
material. Helical piles should have a minimum of two flights/ helical shaped disks and be a
minimum 3/8-inch thick, but as determined by the design professional. Haudrauilcally
driven piles should have a minimum diameter of 2-7 /8". Depths to native material vary
throughout the site and topography, however, underpinning near the northern portion of
the existing structure may require depth as little as 12 feet below existing grade and as great
at 40 feet on the southern portions of the structure to achieve adequate embedment into
native material. Increase depth may be required for additional capacity of the underpinning
elements as per the design engineer.
Underpinning elements provide capacity on a case-by-case basis due to their unique design
including but not limited to, diameter, number of flights, diameter of flights, pitch angle of
flights, and other proprietary elements incorporated by the specific helical or driven pile
manufacturer. As such, many underpinning elements will be provided with design charts
SKYLINE PROJECT NO. P24-027R.I
08MAY2024 (rev 05/24/2024)
SKYLINE
w:......-GEOTE.CHNICAL PAGE 13
obtaining capacity based on installation pressures and resistance. The proprietary
installation contractor should provide Skyline with design charts for review and verification .
Underpinning elements should be designed to resist buckling, although the surrounding
soils are anticipated to give some resistance against subsurface bending/bucking of the
underpinning element. Furthermore, the installation contractor is responsible for the
foundation seat support assembly, bracket, sleeve connection, and other foundation
connection elements.
Skyline understands the underpinning will not be relied upon for upward or lateral resistant.
Should design loads become dependent on these factors, Skyline can provide
recommendations at that time.
9.8.1 Helical and Driven Pile Limitations
All design calculations and drawings should be reviewed and approved by Skyline prior
to installation. A Skyline representative should be present during the installation of all
underpinning elements. Skyline must be provided all hydraulic ram information and
current calibration records for pressure gauges along with pressure to capacity
correlation charts.
9.9 Surface Protection and Vegetation
As with all repaired slopes, following construction there is potential for surface erosion and
minor slope instabil ities occurring over time if slopes are not maintained. After
construction, Skyline recommends exposed slopes/grades are protected by the installation
of a Jute Mat/Net placed directly on top of soils to help mitigate and further reduce erosion
potential. Once Jute Mat is properly installed, erosion resistant vegetation/landscaping
should be planted to further reduce surficial creep and erosion. As previously stated, it is
pertinent repairs and improvements are designed and maintained such that surface water is
kept away from slope faces and not allowed to infiltrate the slope itself further discussed in
the next section.
9.10 Drainage
Based on observed subsurface conditions, seepage may be encountered during construction
of the retaining wall. Th erefore, the retaining wall designer and contractor should
understand the possibility of exposing locally saturated and/or cohesionless materials
subject to sloughing and cannot be precluded and is likely during the wet season or due to
seepage from surrounding landscaping. Additionally, leaking/ruptured utilities, drainage,
and/or surface runoff may saturate retained soils through the passage of time causing
hydrostatic pressure not accounted for in the design parameters herein. A proper retaining
wall drainage system should be designed by the project civil/structural engineer and be
reviewed and approved by Skyline Geotechnical.
SKYLINE PROJECT NO. P24-027R.I
08MAY2024 {rev 05/24/2024)
SKYLIN E
.:....-GEOTECHNICAL PAGE 14
Surface runoff should be collected and directed away from improvements and slopes by
means of appropriate erosion-reducing devices and positive drainage should be established
around the proposed improvements. Positive drainage should be directed away from
improvements at a gradient of at least two percent for a distance of at least five feet.
However, the project civil engineer should evaluate on-site drainage and make necessary
provisions to keep surface water from impacting the site.
Generally, Skyline does not recommend allowing water to infiltrate into building pads or
adjacent t o slopes. Some agencies are encouraging the use of stormwater cleansing
devices. Use of such devices tends to increase the possibility of adverse effects associated
with high groundwater including slope instability. See Appendix D for further discussion of
site infiltration.
10.0 CONTROLLED LOW STRENGTH MATERIALS (CLSM)
Controlled Low Strength Materials (CLSM} may be used in deepened footing excavations or
other structures, provided the appropriate following recommendations are also incorporated.
Minimum overexcavation depths recommended herein beneath thew retaining wall, flatwork,
and other areas may be applicable beneath CLSM if/where CLSM is to be used, and excavation
bottoms should be observed by Skyline prior to placement of CLSM. Prior to CLSM placement,
the excavation should be free of debris, loose soil materials, and water. Once specific areas to
utilize CLSM have been determined, Skyline should review the locations to determine if
additional recommendations are appropriate.
CLSM should consist of a minimum three-sack cement/sand slurry with a minimum 28-day
compressive strength of 100 psi (or equal to or greater than the maximum allowable short term
soil bearing pressure provided herein, whichever is higher) as determined by ASTM D4832. If re-
excavation is anticipated, the compressive strength of CLSM should generally be limited to a
maximum of 150 psi per ACI 229R-99. Where re-excavation is required, two-sack cement/sand
slurry may be used to help limit the compressive strength. The allowable soils bearing pressure
and coefficient of friction provided herein should still govern foundation design. CLSM may not
be used in lieu of structural concrete where r~quired by the structural engineer.
11.0 PLAN REVIEW
Skyline should be authorized to review the project grading and foundation plans prior to
commencement of earthwork in order to provide additional recommendations, if necessary.
12.0 CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION
The recommendations provided in this report are based on preliminary design information for
the proposed construction and the subsurface conditions observed in the soil borings. The
interpolated subsurface conditions should be confirmed by Skyline during construction with
respect to anticipated conditions. Upon completion of precise grading, if necessary, soil
SKYLINE PROJECT NO. P24-027R.I
08MAY2024 (rev 05/24/2024)
SKYLINE
~-GEOTEC HNICAL PAGE 15
samples will be collected to evaluate as-built Expansion Index. Foundation recommendations
may be revised upon completion of grading, and as-built laboratory test results. Additionally,
soil samples should be taken in pavement subgrade areas upon rough grading to refine
pavement recommendations as necessary.
Recommendations provided in this report are based on the understanding and assumption that
Skyline will provide the observation and testing services for the project. All earthwork should
be observed and tested in accordance with recommendations contained within this report.
Skyline should evaluate footing excavations before reinforcing steel placement.
13.0 LIMITATIONS OF INVESTIGATION
The subsurface conditions and geotechnical engineering evaluation presented in this report
were based on the results of a limited field exploration and laboratory testing program.
Subsurface conditions are anticipated to vary across the site and may differ from those
observed at the exploration locations, tested in the laboratory, or published in regional
documents.
Site conditions, including groundwater elevation or seepage, can change over time as a result of
natural processes or actions of man at or adjacent to the site. Revisions to laws, regulations,
codes, or standards of practice may occur as a result of government action or the broadening of
knowledge. Therefore, the findings in this report may be invalidated over time, partially or
entirely, by changes in which Skyline cannot control.
The findings, conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on our
understanding of the proposed improvements as described in this report. If proposed
improvements or site conditions vary significantly from those described in this report, Skyline
should be contacted for evaluation, and if necessary, provide additional recommendations.
Skyline's conclusions and recommendations are based on the observed conditions described in
this report. If conditions other than what is described in this report are observed, Skyline
should be contacted for additional evaluation and if necessary, provide additional
recommendations.
The findings, recommendations and professional opinions provided in this report were
developed in general accordance with generally accepted principles and practices of the
geotechnical engineering profession at the time of this report preparation. Skyline makes no
other warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to the conclusions and recommendations
provided in this report.

APPENDIX D: STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR GRADING
GENERAL GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS:
These specifications are intended to provic~e typical procedures for grading operations and
construction of proposed improvements. They are intended to supplement the recommendations
presented in the geotechnical investigation report. Should the recommendations in the
geotechnical investigation report conflict vdth the specifications presented below, the report
recommendations supersede the following specifications.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF PROJECT PERSONNEL~
The Client is responsible for all aspects of the project. During grading and construction, the Client
or authorized representative, should be on-site or be accessible to all parties in order to make
decisions necessary for proper and efficient completion of work.
The Geotechnical Consultant is the representative of the Owner/Builder and provides testing and
observation services for the purpose of implementing the report recommendations and guidelines.
The Contractor is responsible for the safe and satisfactory completion of all grading and
construction in accordance with the geotechnical documents, as well as all City, County, and State
building codes and regulations.· The Contractor is responsible for notifying the Geotechnical
Engineer of work and schedule so testing and inspection can be performed. If necessary, work may
be stopped and redone if the Geotechnical Consultant has not been scheduled in advance.
PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING:
A preconstruction meeting should be scheduled prior to site grading by the owner or owner's
representative that includes at a minimum, the Grading Contractor, Project Engineers,
Geotechnical Consultant, and representatives of appropriate governing authorities.
DEMOLITION:
All existing structures and improvements (including foundations, utilities, and other man-made
improvements) not to remain following site development should be properly demolished and/or
removed from the site prior to grading.
Existing improvements that are to remain following site development should be protected against
damage by the contractor during grading and construction.
SITE PROTECTION:
Protection of the site is the responsibility of the contractor during grading and construction. Unless
other provisions are made in writing a·.1d agreed upon among the concerned parties,
completion of a portion of the project shoL Id not be considered to preclude that portion or
adjacent areas from the requirements for site protection until such time as the entire project is
complete as identified by the geotechnical consultant, the client, and the regulating agencies.
Precautions should be taken during all phase~ of site grading to protect against flooding, ponding,
or inundation resulting from improper surfacE! drainage and erosion control. Temporary provisions
should be made during rain events to adequately direct surface water away from proposed
improvement areas and into temporary stormwater basins designed by the project Civil Engineer.
Damage resulting from a rain event could be considered, erosion, saturation, silting, swelling, or
other adverse conditions determined by the Geotechnical Consultant. Adversely impacted soils are
considered unsuitable and may require excavation and drying, blending with drier material, or
removal and replacement with suitable material as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer.
In relatively level areas and/or slope areas, where saturated soil and/or erosion gullies exist to
depths 9f greater than one foot; they should be excavated and replace_d as compacted fill in
accordance with the applicable specifications. Where affected materials exist to depths of one foot
or less below proposed finished grade, remedial grading by moisture conditioning in-place,
followed by thorough compaction in accordance with the applicable grading guidelines herein may
be attempted. If the desired results are not achieved, all affected materials should be excavated
and replaced as compacted fill in accordance with the slope repair recommendations herein. If field
conditions dictate, the geotechnical consultant may recommend other slope repair procedures.
GRADING:
Prior to commencement of grading, the site should be cleared of construction debris and organic
material (e.g. trees, bushes, weeds, roots, and other deleterious material) and properly disposed of
off-site.
Following clearing of unsuitable debris and vegetation, all unsuitable soil (e.g. loose or soft, dry,
wet, expansive, or other compressible material) should be excavated to the depth of suitable
material as determined by the Geotechnical Consultant.
All building pad areas that have cut to fill transitions, should be excavated to a minimum depth of
three feet below grade, and properly moisture conditioned compacted fill placed to finished
subgrade elevations (Detail D-1). Depth of excavation should be determined by the Geotechnical
Consultant and will vary based on the proposed improvement and depth of fill.
Proposed building pads located above natural slopes should be designed to drain at a gradient of
two percent or greater away from the top of slope. Surface water can also be diverted by means of
a berm swale.
Excavation, filling, and subgrade preparation should be performed in a manner and
sequence that will provide drainage at all times and with proper erosion control. Precipitation,
springs, and seepage water encountered during grading and construction shall be pumped or
drained to provide a suitable working surface. The Geotechnical Engineer must be informed of
springs or seepage encountered during grading or foundation construction. If necessary, the
recommended construction procedures could be revised and/or subdrains installed.
If adverse or unanticipated conditions are encountered during grading that were not addressed in
the geotechnical report, the Geotechnical Consultant should be notified, and may determine
additional explorations, testing, and/or analysis is needed. Following evaluation, additional
recommendations may be provided.
If underground structures such as basements, septic disposal systems, tunnels, wells, and other
man-made improvements are encountered at the site, the Geotechnical Consultant should be
notified as soon as possible. These structures should be removed under observation and
recommendations provided the project Geotechnical Consultant, as well as City, County, and State
agencies.
Voids created by re~oval of trees or any other site improvements shou Id be adequately cleaned
out under observation by the Geotechnical Consultant and backfilled with properly moisture
conditioned and compacted fill.
Excavation:
The Geotechnical Consultant should observe all excavations for building pads, canyon clean
outs, keyways, benches, subdrains, or any other area proposed to receive compacted fill or
structural improvements (Details D-2, D-3, D-4 and D-5).
The contractor is responsible for stability of all temporary excavations. Recommendations
provided by the Geotechnical Engineer pertaining to temporary excavations are intended to
minimize potential for instabilities, but should not supersede more stringent requirements
by regulating agencies.
The Geotechnical Consultant should observe all temporary and permanent cut slope
excavations to determine if unstable conditions are exposed (cohesionless sand, adverse
bedding, severely fractured rock, or other unstable conditions). If unstable conditions are
exposed, the Geotechnical Consultant may recommend reducing the slope angle,
constructing a buttress fill, or other means of stabilization. If rain events are anticipated,
the slopes should be protected against erosion, saturation, and seepage.
All permanent cut slopes should be no steeper that 2:1 (horizontal: vertical), unless
otherwise recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant or regulating agency.
A non-erodible diversion swale should be constructed at the top of all significant cut slopes.
Fill Material and Placement:
All fill material generated on-site or imported should be approved for use by the project
Geotechnical En gineer prior to placement or transport.
Soil with high expansion potential, low strength, or contain an abundance of organic
material may require removal from the site, or placement in nonstructural areas, at the
discretion of the Geotechnical Engineer.
Following recommended excavation, the areas to receive fill should be generally level and
evaluated for suitability by the Geotechnical Consultant.
Prior to fill placement, areas approved by the Geotechnical Consultant should be scarified a
minimum six to eight inches, moisture conditioned, and compacted in accordance with the
recommendations provided in this report. Once the area has been processed (ripped,
moisture conditioned, and compacted), fill material approved by the Geotechnical Engineer
should be placed in near horizontal lifts with a loose thickness no greater than eight inches,
unless otherwise determined by the Geotechnical Engineer.
Each lift should be moisture conditioned to above optimum moisture content (three
percent above for clayey soils), mixed to evenly distribute the moisture, and compacted to
a minimum 90 percent of the laboratory maximum density (in accordance with ASTM D-
1557), or as specified by the project Geotechnical Engineer.
Moisture content and density testing of all fill placement should be performed under
observation and testing by the Geotechnical Engineer. Testing should also be performed at
random intervals and locations as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer. These tests
are intended to aid the grading contractor in evaluating their methodology and
conformance with the project geotechnical documents and governmental agencies.
If fill areas are left for an extended period of time, the Geotechnical Engineer should be
notified to determine suitability prior to development. It is possible the upper portion of
the fill may require additional moisture conditioning, mixture, and compaction the meet
minimum recommendations.
Fill placed on sloping terrain at an inclination of 5:1 (horizontal: vertical) or greater should
have a keyway constructed at the bottom of the slope, with a series of vertical benches
excavated into the adjacent slope as fill is placed (Detail D-5).
Keyways should extend down to suitable material as determined by the Geotechnical
Consultant, generally be at least 10 feet wide, and inclined a minimum two percent into the
slope, or as otherwise determined by the Geotechnical Engineer.
Following proper keyway preparation, fill slopes should be constructed by overfilling the
slope, adequately compacting the fill in even lifts, and cutting the slope back to finished
grade.
In order to facilitate post grading excavation for future improvements, it is recommended
the upper three feet of fill contain rock clasts no larger than three inches in maximum
dimension.
Rock clasts up to six inches in maximum dimension can be placed at depths greater than
three feet below finished subgrade elevations, unless otherwise determined by the
Geotechnical Engineer.
Rock clasts greater than six inches in maximum dimension should be removed from the site,
or placed in areas determined to be suitable by the Geotechnical Engineer, and in
accordance with Detail D-8.
Rock clasts greater than 12 inches in maximum dimension should be placed in rows at least
15 feet apart, 15 feet from face of slope, and at depths greater than 10 feet below finished
subgrade elevations. Granular fill material, generally less than the No. 4 sieve, with
adequate moisture content, should be placed between the rows of rock. Ample water
should be utilized in placement of fill between oversized clasts to fill voids and achieve
recommended compaction. Subsequent rows of rock should not be placed directly above a
previous row. A minimum five-foot offset between rows is recommended.
SUBDRAINS:
Subdrains may be required in keyways at the bottom of fill slopes, in natural drainages that are to
be filled in, or other areas where seepage is encountered. The subdrain location and design should
be determined by the project Geotechnical Engineer. Subdrains should be installed after removals
have been completed and before compacted fill has been placed.
The subdrain pipe should consist of Schedule 40, SDR 35, or equivalent. The pipe should be
protected against damage during and following placement (Detail D-3).
To minimize soil build up in the subdrain, a filter fabric should surround the pipe that conforms to
CAL TRANS Specification 68-1.025, or as approved by the project Geotechnical Engineer. Clean¾
inch crushed rock may be used around the pipe, provided it is wrapped in a suitable filter cloth and
is approved by the project Geotechnical Engineer. For runs up to 500 feet, the pipe diameter ·
should be at least six inches, and eight inches for longer continuous downstream runs, or as
recommended by the project Geotechnical Engineer. Four-inch diameter pipe may be utilized in
buttress and stabilization fills.
If seepage conditions are observed at the site, the Geotechnical Engineer should be notified for
evaluation, and if necessary, provide additional drainage recommendations.
SLOPE MAINTENANCE:
To enhance slope protection, it is recommended that planting throughout the slope take place
once grading is completed. The slope plants should generally consist of deep-rooted regionally
native vegetation that require little water. All planting should conform with local regulations.
Heavy shallow-rooted vegetation, such as ice plant, is not recommended.
Prior to planting, it is recommended that all unprotected slopes be covered with plastic sheeting
during rain events and surface water diverted away from slope faces.
Irrigation pipes should be anchored to the slope face and not placed in excavated trenches.
Irrigation should be minimized. If automatic timers are utilized, they should be shut off during rain
events until the subgrade can accommodate additional water.
If a slope failure occurs, the Geotechnical Consultant should be notified to perform an evaluation
and provide recommendations for repair.
