1.0 INTRODUCTION
This As-Graded Geotechnical report summarizes the geotechnical testing and observation
services provided by Group Delta Consultants, Inc. (Group Delta) during the earthwork
construction for the Aviara Apartments East Parcel project in the City of Carlsbad, California.
Earthwork construction comprised: 1) remedial grading of the building pad and the exterior
surface improvements, 2) placement of fill to establish site pad elevations, 3) installation of
temporary and permanent shoring, 4) foundation excavations, 5) backfill of utility trenches, 6)
backfill of retaining walls, and 7) pavement construction.
1.1 Scope of Services
Group Delta prepared this report per the referenced proposal (Group Delta, 2022a) and
additional service requests (Group Delta, 2022b, 2022d, and 2024). Field technicians completed
field density testing and provided full-time observation during the earthwork for the building
pad, the backfill of retaining walls, and the backfill for utility trenches and part-time observation
of the subgrade preparation and pavement construction. Field Engineers provided full-time
observation of the installation of soldier piles and lagging for the temporary and permanent
shoring wall. This testing and observation assisted in developing professional opinions regarding
whether the geotechnical aspects of the earthwork construction were conducted in accordance
with our recommendations (Group Delta, 2022c, 2023a, 2023b) and the project plans.
The general contractor was the Wermers Companies (Wermers), the earthwork contractor was
Qwest Engineering Inc., the subsurface utility backfill contractor was TUI, and the shoring
construction contractor was Elliot Drilling. Wermers coordinated our full and part time testing
and observation services. Our services did not include supervision or direction of the work of
Wermers, their subcontractors, employees, or agents.
We provided the following services for the project between January 12, 2023, and April 15, 2024.
• Laboratory testing of soils, aggregate base, and asphalt concrete. The laboratory test
results are summarized in Appendix A.
• The above described field observation and testing services. The field density test results
are provided in Appendix B. The field density test locations are shown on Plates 1 and 2.
• Preparation of daily field reports summarizing the activities for each day of earthwork
construction, and documenting the hours spent in the field by our technicians. Copies of
these reports were distributed to BRIDGE Housing during construction and are retained
in our project files.
• As-needed geotechnical engineering consultation.
• Preparation of this As-Graded Geotechnical report.

1.2 Site Description
The project site is a triangular shaped parcel located northeast of the intersection of Laurel Tree
Lane and Aviara Parkway in Carlsbad, California, as shown on Figure 1. An ephemeral creek
channel with abundant vegetation borders the project site to the north. Prior to earthwork
construction, the project site was lightly vegetated and relatively level with elevations ranging
from west to east of about 90 to 100 feet (NGVD 29) and slopes descended from the roadways
to the west and south down to the project site. Perimeter site civil retaining walls replaced these
slopes.
1.3 Project Description
The project consisted of the construction of a new 70 unit, four-story, “tuck under” apartment
buildings. The structure is wood framed and supported by post-tension mat slab foundations.
The finished floor elevation is 98.10 feet.
The project also included construction of perimeter site civil retaining walls consisting of concrete
masonry units or permanent soldier pile and timber lagging shoring, underground utilities,
stormwater best management practices (BMPs), trash enclosures, and paved driveways and
parking areas. The stormwater BMPs consisted of 72-inch diameter perforated underground
retention systems. The site improvements are shown on Plates 1 and 2.
1.4 Construction Summary
Remedial grading was completed to prepare the subgrade for the building foundations and
exterior surface improvements. The bottoms of the excavations were compacted, and the
excavations were backfilled with new fill. Fill was then placed to establish site pad elevations.
On-site and import soils were used for fill. Construction of the apartment buildings and exterior
surface improvements followed the preparation of the pad. Plate 1 shows the limits of grading.
2.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The site is located in an alluvial canyon just south of a natural drainage channel. Prior to
construction the site was underlain by undocumented fill ranging from 5- to 13-feet thick across
the site. Holocene-age young alluvium lies below the fill varying in thickness ranging from 4 to 15
feet. Sandstones and claystones associated with the Eocene-age Santiago Formation are below
the alluvium at depth across the site. The geologic units observed by Group Delta at the site
during earthwork are described below.
2.1 Young Alluvium
Holocene-age young alluvium was encountered in the overexcavation for the building pad. The
young alluvium soils consisted of sandy clay, clayey sands, and silty sands (CL, SC, and SM). The
young alluvial soils are buried below new compacted fills within the limits of grading shown on
Plate 1.

Aviara Apartments – East Parcel June 28, 2024
BRIDGE Housing Page 3
2024-07-01 Bridge Housing Aviara Apts As-Graded Rpt (Group Delta 23-0031).docx
2.2 Undocumented Fill
The undocumented fill consisted of clayey sand and sandy lean clay (SC and CL). The
undocumented fill was observed to be saturated in some locations due to rainfall and existing
leaking utilities.
The remedial grading removed the undocumented fill entirely within the plan limits building pad
as recommended in the referenced geotechnical report (Group Delta, 2022C). The
undocumented fill was removed to the extent of overexcavation recommended in the referenced
geotechnical report (Group Delta, 2022c) within the plan limits of the exterior surface
improvements.
2.3 Groundwater
Prior subsurface exploration encountered groundwater an elevation of about 79 to 80 feet
(Group Delta, 2022c). Groundwater was observed approximately at these elevations during the
drilling for the installation of the soldier piles located near the corner of Aviara Parkway and
Laurel Tree Lane.
3.0 LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing of the materials used for fill, backfill, and pavement base is described in
Appendix A. The maximum density and optimum moisture content of these materials were
determined per ASTM D1557.
Six subgrade soil samples (sample no. 4 through 9) were collected insitu from the finished pad
and were tested for particle size analysis, Atterberg Limits, expansion index, and soluble sulfate
content. The locations of these six samples are shown on Plate 1. The laboratory tests indicate
the finish pad grade soils for the building primarily consist of sandy lean clay (CL), have a very low
to low potential for expansion, and have a negligible potential for sulfate attack. The results of
the laboratory tests are provided in Appendix A.
A soil sample from the pavement subgrade was collected for R-Value testing in general
accordance with CT301. The results are summarized in Appendix A.
The Hveem density of asphalt concrete used for paving onsite was evaluated in the laboratory in
general accordance with ASTM D2726. The results are summarized in Appendix A.
4.0 EARTHWORK CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS
The following sections describe the geotechnical aspects of earthwork construction operations.
4.1 Remedial Earthwork
As-Graded Geotechnical Report Project No. SD722
Aviara Apartments – East Parcel June 28, 2024
BRIDGE Housing Page 4
2024-07-01 Bridge Housing Aviara Apts As-Graded Rpt (Group Delta 23-0031).docx
Remedial grading was completed as recommended in the referenced geotechnical report (Group
Delta, 2022c) as shown in the table below to prepare the subgrade for the building foundations
and exterior surface improvements.
REMEDIAL EARTHWORK REQUIREMENTS
Type of Improvement Minimum Depth of
Overexcavation
Lateral Extent of
Overexcavation
beyond Improvement
Main Building Foundations ~ 10 feet (all Undocumented Fill) 5 feet
Accessory Building Foundations 2 feet below bottom of footing 2 feet
Exterior Surface Improvements 2 feet below finished subgrade 2 feet
Overexcavation was completed to elevations ranging from 86 to 89 feet within the building
limits, as shown on Plate 1. Overexcavation was completed to elevations ranging from 88 to 92
feet outside the building limits, as shown on Plate 1. The bottoms of the remedial excavations
were compacted and prepared for placement and compaction of new artificial fill.
4.2 New Artificial Fill
On-site and import soils were used for new artificial fill. Soils were processed, placed, and
compacted to finished subgrade. When encountered, saturated onsite soils were mixed with dry
granular import soils to achieve the optimum moisture contents required for proper compaction.
New artificial fill was placed from the above described bottom of excavation elevations to the
finished pad elevations. Artificial fill was also placed as backfill within utility trench excavations
and behind retaining walls.
Artificial fill soils were derived from the existing on-site soils and approved import material. Soils
were imported from near-by projects at 1967 North Vulcan Avenue and 10933 North Torrey Pines
Road, in Encinitas and San Diego, California. These soils mostly consisted of clayey sands (SC).
4.2.1 Pad Preparation Fill Placement and Compaction
Scrapers, dozers, compactors, graders, excavators, and other construction equipment were used
to process and place fill. Compactive effort was applied by wheel rolling with the equipment,
tracking with dozers, and/or compaction with vibratory tampers.
Group Delta performed field moisture and density tests during fill placement in general
accordance with ASTM D6938. The results of these tests are summarized in Appendix A. The
approximate test locations are also shown on Plates 1 and 2. The field density test locations and
elevations are based on available field survey information provided by Wermers and their
subcontractors and should only be considered approximate estimates. The estimated locations

and elevations should not be used for preparing cross sections, or in any case, for the purpose of
after-the-fact evaluating of the sequence of fill placement.
4.2.2 Utility and Retaining Backfill Fill Placement and Compaction
Subsurface utilities were placed in trenches excavated for electrical, storm drain, water, and
sanitary sewer utilities. Pipe zone materials, including gravel, shade sand, or cement slurry were
placed prior to backfilling the trench excavations. The bottoms of the excavations were
compacted and the trenches were backfilled with properly processed, placed, and compacted fill
to finish subgrade elevations. The area between the back of site civil retaining walls and
temporary slopes or temporary shoring was also backfilled with properly processed, placed, and
compacted fill to finish subgrade elevations. Compactive effort for backfill was applied using a
combination of excavators utilizing a sheepsfoot roller, hand-operated compactors, or hand
tampers as needed.
Group Delta performed field moisture and density tests during fill placement in general
accordance with ASTM D6938. The approximate test locations are shown on Plate 2. The field
density test locations and elevations are based on available field survey information provided by
the contractor and should only be considered rough estimates. The estimated locations and
elevations should not be used for preparing cross sections, or in any case, for the purpose of
after-the-fact evaluating of the sequence of fill placement.
4.3 Pavement Subgrade
Pavement subgrade was prepared prior to the paving operation by scarifying and re-compacting
the upper 12-inches of fill. Where soft, yielding, and/or saturated subgrade was encountered,
the subgrade was overexcavated 12- to 24-inches and stabilized with Tensar TX160 Geogrid and
placed and compacted aggregate base. The geogrid was placed on the bottom of the excavation.
A second layer was placed over the compacted aggregate base where additional subgrade
yielding was observed.
Group Delta performed one R-Value test on a sample of the pavement subgrade soil that resulted
in an R-Value of 24. The results of this test are presented in Appendix A. The location is shown on
Plate 1.
4.4 Pavements
Aggregate base was usually placed with a skip loader and compacted with a smooth drum
vibratory roller compactor prior to asphalt concrete paving. Asphalt concrete was generally
placed and processed into thin lifts using a paver, skidsteer, backhoe, and hand tools. Breakdown
and finish rolling were usually provided by a variety of smooth drum rollers and vibratory
tampers.

2024-07-01 Bridge Housing Aviara Apts As-Graded Rpt (Group Delta 23-0031).docx
Group Delta performed field density tests on aggregate base in general accordance with ASTM
D6938. Group Delta performed field density tests on asphalt concrete following compaction in
general accordance with ASTM D2950. The results of these tests are summarized in Appendix A.
The approximate test locations are shown on Plate 2.
4.5 Shoring Construction
Shoring was installed for the construction of the retaining wall at the southwest corner of the
site, near the intersection of Laural Tree Lane and Aviara Parkway. The shoring system
constructed included a soldier pile and timber lagging retaining wall consisting of 14 soldier piles.
The shoring system consists of temporary and permanent portions. A detailed account of the
installation procedure, a table of our observations, and the general layout of the shoring system
is presented in Appendix C.
5.0 GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION AND CONCLUSIONS
It is our opinion that the geotechnical aspects of the construction activities described in this
report and observed and tested by Group Delta were conducted in general accordance with the
intent of our geotechnical recommendations (Group Delta, 2022c, 2023a, and 2023b) and the
project grading plans (Hunsaker & Associates, 2022). It is further our opinion the soil properties
for new compacted fill should meet those recommended in the referenced geotechnical reports
(Group Delta, 2022c, 2023a, 2023b) and restated on the project structural plans (VCA Structural,
2022).
Laboratory tests conducted on soil samples collected from finished pad grade indicate that the
new building is generally underlain by sandy lean clay (CL) with a very low to low expansion
potential. The results of our field testing indicate the placement and compaction of fill, backfill,
and aggregate base, and the preparation of soil subgrades achieved at least 90 or 95 percent
relative compaction (as required), at the locations tested, as evaluated in general accordance
with ASTM D1557. The results of our field testing indicate the placement and compaction of
asphalt concrete achieved at least 95 percent relative compaction, at the locations tested, as
evaluated in general accordance with ASTM D2726. The locations of our field density tests and
observations were located within the limits of grading as depicted on Plates 1 through 2. Our
conclusions are based on observations and tests conducted between January 12, 2023, and April
15, 2024.
6.0 LIMITATIONS
Our services were performed using the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised, under similar
circumstances, by reputable geotechnical engineers practicing in this or similar localities. Our
observations and testing do not imply a guarantee or warranty of the Contractor’s work. We
accept no responsibility for any subsequent changes made by others, by uncontrolled action of
water, or by failure of others to properly repair damages by uncontrolled action of water. No
warranty, express or implied, is made as to the conclusions and opinions included in this report.

APPENDIX A
LABORATORY TESTING
APPENDIX A
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions and in the
same locality. No warranty, express or implied, is made as to the correctness or serviceability of
the test results, or the conclusions derived from these tests. Where a specific laboratory test
method has been referenced, such as ASTM or Caltrans, the reference only applies to the specified
laboratory test method, which has been used only as a guidance document for the general
performance of the test and not as a “Test Standard”. A brief description of the various tests
performed for this project follows.
Classification: Soils were classified visually according to the Unified Soil Classification System as
established by the American Society of Civil Engineers per ASTM D2488.
Maximum Density/Optimum Moisture: The maximum density and optimum moisture of fill soil
and aggregate base samples were determined using ASTM D1557. The test results are summarized
in Figures A-1 and A-2.
Expansion Index: The expansion potential of selected finished pad subgrade soil samples and a
select sample of the import soil from the UCSD Theatre District Living and Learning Neighborhood
project was estimated in general accordance with the laboratory procedures outlined in ASTM
D4829. The test results are summarized in Figures A-1 and A-2. Figure A-4 also presents common
criteria for evaluating the expansion potential based on the expansion index.
Sulfate Content: To assess the potential for reactivity with concrete, selected finished pad
subgrade soil samples were tested for water soluble sulfate. The sulfate was extracted from the
soil under vacuum using a 10:1 (water to dry soil) dilution ratio. The extracted solution was tested
for water soluble sulfate in general accordance with ASTM D516. The test results are presented in
Figures A-1 and A-2. Figure A-4 also presents common criteria for evaluating soluble sulfate
content.
Particle Size Analysis: A particle size analysis was performed for a select sample of the import soil
from the UCSD Theatre District Living and Learning Neighborhood project in general accordance
with ASTM D6913 and were used to supplement visual soil classifications. The test results are
summarized in Figures A-1 and A-2.
R-Value: R-Value tests were performed on select rough subgrade soil samples for new pavements
in general accordance with Caltrans Test Method 301. The test results are shown in Figures A-1
and A-2.
Atterberg Limits: ASTM D4318 was used to determine the liquid and plastic limits, and plasticity
index of selected soil samples. The test results are presented in Figures A-1 and A-2.
Hveem Density: The Hveem densities of asphalt concrete comprised of a density provided by the
plant, and another was determined using ASTM D2726. The reference values provided are
summarized in Figure A-2.

SHORING OBSERVATIONS
APPENDIX C
SHORING OBSERVATIONS
Fourteen excavations were drilled using a 24- to 30-inch diameter spin auger to depths of
approximately 13 to 29.5 feet below surrounding grades between March 27th and March 28th,
2023, for the installation of a shoring system consisting of steel soldier piles beams and timber
lagging. The installation of the soldier piles and concrete/slurry backfill was completed between
March 28th and March 29th, 2023. Note the shoring systems soldier piles were completed in a
“bottom up” condition due to excessive grading at the planned shoring location.
The drilling and installation of the shoring system was completed by Elliot Drilling using a CAT
LoDril. Soldier beams were inspected to confirm the correct length and section per design schedule.
Approximate elevations were provided by the contractor via stationary laser and laser detector.
Approximate depths of soldier pile excavations were found by contractor via weighted tape
measure. Slurry was poured over top concrete toes approximately to surface elevation.
Please see our soldier pile installation observations in Figure C-1.
