Subject: Report of Soil Investigation and Geologic Reconnaissance
JRM/Kelly Commercial Property
Southeast of Palomar Airport Road and Aviara Parkway Intersection
Carlsbad, California
Dear Mr. Mccann:
In accordance with your request, Geotechnica/ Exploration, Inc. has performed
an investigation of the soil and geologic conditions at the location of the subject
site. The field work was performed on September 20, 2000.
Presently, the site consists of an undeveloped, relatively level sheet-graded pad.
This pad is generally rectangular in shape, with dimensions of 505 feet by 545 feet.
The site is bordered approximately to the north by Palomar Airport Road, to the
south by Encinas Creek, to the east by a similar undeveloped sheet-graded pad,
and to the west by Aviara Parkway.
Based on our conversations with you and our review of the conceptual development
plan, Scheme 3, by Smith Consulting Architects, we understand that the proposed
improvements will include a three-story, 100,000-square-foot building with below
grade parking. The improvements will include associated parking and landscape
areas. The proposed building will be situated along the approximate northern one
third of the property.
We anticipate the structure will utilize either CMU or poured-in-place concrete
basement walls and standard building materials for the above-grade portions of the
structure. The foundation will utilize either continuous perimeter and isolated
spread footings or a mat-type foundation. ---------------------------------·-
The purpose of our investigation was to evaluate the soil conditions in the proposed
building and parking areas, recommend any necessary site preparation procedures,
assess the engineering properties of the on-site soils, and to provide foundation
related design recommendations.

Our investigation revealed that the majority of the site is underlain by
approximately 12 to 14 feet of fill underlain by alluvium, which is, in turn, underlain
by bedrock materials of the Eocene-age Del Mar/Friars Formation at depth.
Materials within the upper 2 to 2½ feet of the fill were found to be compressible and
desiccated and will require removal and recompaction prior to construction of
improvements. The fill soils underlying this removal and recompaction layer are
considered competent and suitable for the intended construction. The underlying
alluvium, however, is potentially compressible. Based on the compressibility,
options are available for the structure and foundation system such that excessive
total and differential settlements do not result in unacceptable differential
settlement. These options include (1) deleting the below-grade parking structure;
(2) designing the structure to accommodate the anticipated movement; (3) design
and construction of a mat slab/foundation system; ( 4) removal and recompaction of
alluvial soils to a specified depth below the proposed structure; and (5) using drilled
piers supporting structural basement slab on-grade beams (it is our understanding
that this last option is not being considered at this time).
In our opinion, if the conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are
implemented during site preparation, the site will be suited for the proposed
additions and improvements.
This opportunity to be of service is sincerely appreciated. Should you have any
questions concerning the following report, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Reference to our Job No. 00-7866 will expedite to your inquiries.
Respectfully submitted,

6. Recommend preliminary foundation design information and provide active, at
rest, and passive earth pressures to be utilized in design of any proposed
retaining walls and foundation structures.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject site is comprised of portions of Parcels C, D and G of PM 2993, in the
City of Carlsbad, California. The property is generally rectangular in shape, with
dimensions of 545 feet by 505 feet. The approximate northern 375 feet of the site
is a relatively flat sheet-graded pad. The southern, approximate 170 feet of the
property consists of the alignment of the east to west flowing Encinas Creek. The
transition from these two portions of the property is accomplished by an
approximately 7-foot-high, 2.0: 1.0 (horizontal to vertical) slope. The site is
bordered to the north and west by Palomar Airport Road and Aviara Parkway,
respectively, to the east by similar undeveloped property, and to the south by
Encinas Creek. The only constructed improvement on the site consists of a desilting
basin with a vertical stand pipe at the west central portion of the pad. Vegetation
on the site consists of native weeds and grasses on the pad, and riparian type
species in the creek alignment.
Survey information concerning actual elevations across the site was not available at
the time of our investigation.
Based on our conversations with you and our review of the conceptual development
plan, Scheme 3, by Smith Consulting Architects, we understand that the proposed

We anticipate the structure will utilize either CMU or poured-in-place concrete
basement walls and standard building materials for the above-grade portions of the
structure. The foundation will utilize either continuous perimeter and isolated
spread footings or a mat slab/foundation system. If drilled piers were considered
as an alternate foundation system, our firm may provide detailed recommendations
for their design.
III. FIELD INVESTIGATION
Five small-diameter auger borings were placed on the site, two in the area of the
new building, two in the parking areas and one at the toe of the 7-foot-high slope to
the south (see Figure No. Ib, Boring Location Map). The borings were logged by
our field representative, and samples were taken of the predominant soils
throughout the field operation. Boring logs have been prepared on the basis of our
observations and the results have been summarized on Figure No. II. The
predominant soils have been classified in conformance with the Unified Soil
Classification System (refer to Appendix A) .
In-place samples were obtained by driving a 3-inch outside-diameter (O.D.) by 2-
3/8-inch inside-diameter (I.D.) split-tube sampler a distance of 12 inches. Also, the
Standard Penetration Test was performed by using a 140-pound weight falling 30
inches to drive a 2-inch O.D. by 1-3/8-inch I.D. sampler tube a distance of 12
inches.
The number of blows required to drive the sampler the given distance was recorded
_fQ_r _1!_Se in density determination. The following chart provides an in-house -----------------
correlation between the number of blows and the relative density of the soil for the
Standard Penetration Test and the 3-inch sampler.

IV. SOIL AND GENERAL GEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION
Our investigation and review of pertinent geologic maps and reports indicate that
the site is underlain by moderately dense, silty and clayey sand fill underlain by
medium stiff, silty sandy clay alluvium which is, in turn, underlain by very dense
formational materials of the Eocene-age Del Mar/Friars Formation.
More specifically, along the upper portions of the site or the proposed building pad
and parking area, the site is underlain by 12 to 14 feet of fill over approximately 43
to 45 feet of alluvium, underlain by the Del Mar/Friars Formation at depth. To the
south of the pad and north of the banks of the Encinas Creek, the site is underlain
by approximately 7 feet of fill underlain by alluvium.
Fill Soils: The fi!l -~oils _E:_nc~~~e~~d consist of two p~i~a~y _ soil ~ypes _that ~re
interbedded across the site. First, a light gray, damp, moderately dense silty sand
material exists. This soil type appears to have been derived from the sandy portion
of the formation material and • appears to have a very low to low expansion

potential. The other predominant fill soil type consists of a medium brown, damp,
medium dense, clayey silty sand. This material has a low expansion potential. A
third, less predominant material was encountered at the contact between the fill
and alluvium. What appears to be an old pavement section was encountered and
consists of a relatively thin lift of asphalt concrete and fine road base material. This
condition was encountered in borings 1 through 4. In general, the fill has good load
bearing characteristics with the exception of the upper 2 to 2½ feet, which will
require reprocessing.
Alluvium (Qal) Holocene-age alluvium was encountered under the fill at the site.
The alluvium consists of a moderately stiff, dark gray-brown, silty to slightly sandy
clay. Laboratory tests indicate that, to a depth of 18 feet below present grade, the
' alluvium is compressible and special design or earthwork procedures will be
necessary.
Del Mar/Friars Formation (undifferentiated -Td/Tf): Most of the site is mapped as
being underlain by the Eocene-age Del Mar/Friars Formation (Eisenberg, 1983). At
the site, we found this formation to be comprised by several lithologic (material
type) units. Our borings conducted at the site revealed the Del Mar/Friars
Formation to be a primarily massive, pale to light gray, silty sandstones to sandy
claystones that.are dense and moderately well indurated.
V. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
A. Faulting and Seismicity
In California, major earthquakes can generally be correlated with movement on
active faults. As defined by the California Division of Mines and Geology (Hart,
E.W., 1980), an 11 active11 fault is one that has had ground surface displacement

within Holocene time (about the last 11,000 years). Additionally, faults along which
major historical earthquakes have occurred (about the last 210 years in California)
are also considered to be active (Association of Engineering Geologist, 1973). The
California Division of Mines and Geology defines a "potentially active" fault as one
that has had ground surface displacement during Quaternary time, that is during
the past 11,000 to 1.6 million years (Hart, E.W., 1980).
For construction projects in California, seismologists and earthquake engineers
estimate earthquake magnitudes for "upper bound earthquake" and "maximum
probable earthquake" to ascertain the seismic risk involved with different faults.
Greensfelder (1974) defines these as follows: The upper bound earthquake is "the
maximum earthquake that appears to be reasonably capable of occurring under the
condition of the present known geologic framework." While the event is highly
unlikely, it is still a believable event that could occur. The maximum probable
earthquake is "the maximum earthquake that appears to be reasonably expectable
within a 100-year period." This is also regarded as the maximum "design"
earthquake.
An estimation of the peak ground acceleration and the repeatable high ground
acceleration (RHGA) likely to occur at the project site by the known significant local
and regional faults within 100 miles of the site is included in Tables 1 and 2 (see
Appendix C). Also, a listing of the known historic seismic events that have occurred
within 100 miles of the· site at a magnitude of 5.0 or greater since the year 1800,
and the probability of exceeding the experienced ground accelerations in the future
based upor-1 the historical record, is provided in Table 3 (see Appendix C).

Job No. 00-7866
Page 7
Reference to a geologic map for the area (Eisenberg, 1983) indicates the presence
of a northeast-trending normal fault whose approximate projection passes just east
of the site. The published projection suggests that the fault displaces the Eocene
age bedrock but not the Pleistocene-age terrace materials and Holocene-age
alluvium in this area.
We investigated this feature on a project south of the subject site. The exploratory
trenches revealed several breaks within the Del Mar/Friars and Scripps Formations,
bu~ no trace of the fault could be observed in the younger terrace deposits and no
displacement of the Holocene-age sediments was observed. The general trend of
the fault is Nl0 E, dipping approximately 70 degrees east. The observed faulting
appeared to be minor within the Eocene-age formation (intraformational) with some
additional extensive faulting/breakage within the lower stratagraphic units.
However, we did not observe any displacement of the topsoil or younger
formational materials or geomorphic expression that would indicate significant
recent faulting on the site.
It is our opinion that a known "active" fault presents the greatest seismic risk to the
subject site during the lifetime of the proposed development. To date, the nearest
known "active" faults to the subject site are the northwest-trending Rose Canyon
Fault, Coronado Bank Fault and the Elsinore Fault.
Rose Canyon Fault: The Rose Canyon Fault Zone, located less than 5 miles west of
the _subject site, is mapped trending north-south from Oceanside to downtown San ----·------· --------------------·---------
Diego, from where it appears to head southward into San Diego Bay, through
Coronado and offshore. The Rose Canyon Fault Zone is considered to be a complex
zone of onshore and offshore, en echelon strike slip, oblique reverse, and oblique

normal faults. The Rose Canyon Fault is considered to be capable of causing a 6.9-
magnitude earthquake and considered microseismically active, although no
significant recent earthquake is known to have occurred on the fault. Investigative
work on faults (believed to be part of the Rose Canyon Fault Zone) at the Police
Administration and Technical Center in downtown San Diego and at the SDG&E
facility in Rose Canyon, has encountered offset Holocene (geologically recent)
sediments. These findings have been accepted as confirmed Holocene displacement
on the Rose Canyon Fault and this previously classified "potentially active1' fault has
now been upgraded to an "active" fault as of November 1991 (California Division of
Mines and Geology --Fault Rupture Hazard Zones, 1994 ).
Coronado Bank Fault: The Coronado Bank Fault is located approximately 21 miles
southwest of the site. Evidence for this fault is based upon geophysical data
(acoustic profiles) and the general alignment of epicenters of recorded seismic
activity (Greene, 1979). An earthquake of 5.3 magnitude, recorded July 13, 1986,
is known to have been centered on the fault or within the Coronado Bank Fault
Zone. Although this fault is considered active, due to the seismicity within the fault
zone, it is significantly less active seismically than the Elsinore Fault (Hileman,
1973). It is postulated that the Coronado Bank Fault is capable of generating a 7.0-
magnitude earthquake and is of great interest due to its close proximity to the
g·reater San Diego metropolitan area.
Regional Faults
Elsinore Fault: The Elsinore Fault is located approximately 24 miles northeast of the
_sit~_. The Elsinor~ _E_ault extends approximately 200km (125 miles) from the
------~ ---------· --.. ----------
Mexican border to the northern end of the Santa Ana Mountains. The Elsinore Fault
zone is a 1-to 4-mile-wide, northwest-southeast-trending zone of discontinuous
and en echelon faults extending through portions of Orange, Riverside, San Diego,

and Imperial Counties. Individual faults within the Elsinore Fault Zone range from
less than 1 miles to 16 miles in length. The trend, length and geomorphic
expression of the Elsinore Fault Zone identified it as being a part of the highly active
San Andreas Fault system.
Like the other faults in the San Andreas system, the Elsinore Fault is a transverse
fault showing predominantly right-lateral movement. According to Hart, et al.
(1979), this movement averages less than 1 centimeter per year. Along most of its
length, the Elsinore Fault Zone is marked by a bold topographic expression
consisting of linearly aligned ridges, swales and hallows. Faulted Holocene alluvial
deposits (believed to be less than 11,000 years old) found along several segments
of the fault zone suggest that at least part of the zone is currently active.
Although the Elsinore Fault Zone belongs to the San Andreas set of active,
northwest-trending, right-slip faults in the southern California area (Crowell, 1962),
it has not been the site of a major earthquake in historic time, other than a 6.0-
magnitude quake near the town of Elsinore in 1910 (Richter, 1958; Toppozada and
Parke, 1982). However, based on length and evidence of late-Pleistocene or
Holocene displacement, Greensfelder (1974) has estimated that the Elsinore Fault
Zone is reasonably capable of generating an earthquake with a magnitude as large
as 7 .5. Recent ·study and logging of exposures in trenches in Glen Ivy Marsh across
the Glen Ivy North Fault (a strand of the Elsinore Fault Zone between Corona and
Lake Elsinore), suggest a maximum earthquake recurrence interval of 300 years,
and when combined with previous estimates of the long-term horizontal slip rate of
0.8 to 7.0 mm/year, suggest typical earthquake magnitudes of 6 to 7 (Rockwell,
1_98~J.

B. Other Geologic Hazards
Job No. 00-7866
Page 10
Ground Rupture: Ground rupture is characterized by bedrock slippage along an
established fault and may result in displacement of the ground surface. For ground
rupture to occur along a fault, an earthquake usually exceeds magnitude 5.0. If a
5.0-magnitude earthquake were to take place on a local fault, an estimated surface
rupture length 1 mile long could be expected (Greensfelder, 1974). Our
reconnaissance indicates that the subject site is not directly on a known fault trace
and, therefore, the risk of ground rupture is remote.
Ground Shaking: Structural damage caused by seismically induced ground shaking
is a detrimental effect directly related to faulting and earthquake activity. Ground
shaking is considered to be the greatest seismic hazard in San Diego County. The
intensity of ground shaking is dependent on the magnitude of the earthquake, the
distance from the earthquake, and local seismic condition. Earthquakes of
magnitude 5.0 Richter scale or greater are generally associated with significant
damage. It is our opinion that the most serious damage to the site would be
caused by a large earthquake originating on a nearby strand of the Rose Canyon
Fault Zone. Although the chance of such an event is remote, it could occur within
the useful life of the structure. The anticipated ground accelerations at the site
from earthquakes on faults within 100 miles of the site are provfded in Tables 1 and
2, Appendix C.
Landslides: According to our geologic investigation and a review of the geologic
map (Eisenberg, 1983) and aerial photographs (4-11-53, AXN-SM-99 and 100),
theLe are no known_or suspected ancient landslides located on the site. -----------------
Liquefaction: The liquefaction of saturated sands during earthquakes can be a
major cause of damage to buildings. Liquefaction is the process in which soils are

transformed into a dense fluid which will flow as a liquid when unconfined. It occurs
principally in loose, saturated sands and silts when they are shaken by an
earthquake of sufficient magnitude.
On this site, the risk of liquefaction of foundation material due to seismic shaking is
considered to be remote due to the stiff nature of the underlying alluvium and high
clay content of the sediment. Furthermore, the anticipated differential acceleration
anticipated at the site is relatively low to cause liquefaction.
Summary: It is our opinion, based upon a review of the available maps and our
site investigation, that the site is underlain by relatively stable fill soils, alluvium and
formational materials and appears suited for the proposed development. No
significant geologic hazards are known to exist on the site. No loss of soil strength
or instability of the soils is anticipated due to seismic shaking at the site.
VI. GROUNDWATER
Free groundwater was encountered during our field investigation at a depth of 25
feet below grade. We would expect this water condition at 25 feet to maintain a
relatively moisture soil condition below the proposed below-grade parking structure.
If moisture-related effects (such as efflorescence or high vapor emissions in this
area) are not acceptable, measures should be taken to reduce these issues.
Remedial measures may include anti-vapor membranes below the slab on-grade
and/or utilizing a concrete mix having a maximum water-to-cement ratio of 0.45.
Additionally, a perched water condition may develop at the fill/alluvium contact once ----------~-----------·---------------------
irrigation of the site begins or heavy precipitation occurs. Design considerations
should be made to alleviate this situation. Once final floor elevations and finish-

grade elevations are determined, the boring logs should be referenced in evaluating
the location of the fill/alluvial contact and potential perched water zone.
Subsurface drainage with a properly designed and constructed french drain system
will be required along with continuous back drainage behind the below-grade
garage/basement walls. Furthermore, the basement/garage should be provided
with the proper cross-ventilation to help reduce the potential for moisture-related
problems as previously stated. Basement-level garage slabs shall also be properly
protected by proper sealing and waterproofing to help reduce potential for moisture
intrusion.
It should also be kept in mind that any required grading operations may change
surface drainage patterns and/or reduce permeabilities due to the densification of
compacted soils. Such changes of surface and subsurface hydrologic conditions,
plus irrigation of landscaping or significant increases in rainfall, may result in the
appearance of surface or near-surface water at locations where none existed
previously.
It must be understood that unless discovered during initial site exploration or
encountered during site grading operations, it is extremely difficult to predict if or
where perched or true groundwater conditions may appear in the future. When site
fill or formational soils are fine-grained and of low permeability, water problems
may not become apparent for extended periods of time.
Whereas water conditions encountered during grading operations should be
evaluated and remedied by the project civil and geotechnical consultants, the
_Rroject developer __§_nd eventual homeowners must realize that post-construction
appearances of groundwater may have to be dealt with on a site-specific basis.

VII. LABORATORY TESTS AND SOIL INFORMATION
Laboratory tests were performed on the disturbed and relatively undisturbed soil
samples in order to evaluate their physical and mechanical properties and their
ability to support the proposed building. The following tests were conducted on the
sampled soils:
1. Moisture Content (ASTM D2216-92)
2. Standard Penetration Test and Split Barrel Sampling (ASTM D1586-92
and D1587-84)
3. Expansion Test (UBC Test Method 29-2)
4. Consolidation Test (ASTM D2435-90)
5. Water Soluble Sulfate (CA Test 417)
The moisture content of a soil sample is a measure of the weight of water,
expressed as a percentage of the dry weight of the sample.
The relationship between the moisture and density of remolded soil samples gives
qualitative information regarding the soil strength characteristics and compaction
soil conditions to be anticipated during any future grading operation.
The expansion potential of the on-site soils was determined utilizing the Uniform
Building Code Test Method for Expansive Soils (UBC Standard No. 29-2). In
accordance with the UBC (Table 18-1-B), expansive soils are classified as follows:

According to the UBC Test Method for Expansive Soils, the near-grade sampled fill
soils (0 to 4 feet in boring B-1 and 1 to 4 feet in boring B-2) on the site have a low
expansion potential, with a maximum measured expansion indices of 20 and 14,
respectively. The alluvial soils appear to have a moderate to high expansion
potential.
Compression tests were performed on relatively undisturbed samples in order to
evaluate the soil strength and support capacity of the proposed structure. The
specimens were subjected to potential overburden loads and the resulting
compressions noted. The compression test aids in estimating settlement
magnitudes of the fill materials. The following table illustrates the compression
potential of the fill tested. Consolidation tests were also performed on the relatively
undisturbed alluvial soils to evaluate the potential settlement. The specimens were
subjected to increased loads and displacements were noted. Figure Nos. IIIa and
IIIb provide a plot of the results obtained. Based on the test performed, the fill
materials have a low consolidation potential, and the alluvium has a moderate
consolidation potential in the zone of influence.
COMPRESSION POTENTIAL
Sample# Depth % Compression
B-1 at 8' 0.05%
B-2 at 2' 0.37%
B-2 at 9½' 1.34%
B-4 at 2' 1.48%

Based on an evaluation of the surface soils' water soluble sulfate content, the on-.
site soils are considered to be low in potential for deterioration of Portland cement
concrete due to sulfate attack. The contents of water soluble sulfates is considered
negligible. Either Cement Type I or II may be used in the concrete.

Based on laboratory test data, our observations of the primary soil types on the
project, and our previous experience with laboratory testing of similar soils, our
Geotechnical Engineer had assigned conservative values for friction angle,
coefficient of friction, and cohesion to those soils which will have significant lateral
support or bearing functions on the project.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following conclusions and recommendations are based upon the practical field
investigation conducted by our firm, and resulting laboratory tests, in conjunction
with our knowledge and experience with the soils in the Carlsbad area of the County
of San Diego.
Our investigation revealed that the building site is underlain by moderately dense fill
materials underlain by moderately stiff alluvial soils that are, in turn, underlain by
bedrock materials of the Del Mar/Friars Formation. In their present condition, the
fill materials will not provide a stable base for the proposed structure and improve
ments from the surface to a depth of 2 to 2½ feet ( due to weathering). It is our
understanding that a basement-level parking garage is proposed under the new
building, and much of the linear-surface loose soils are expected to be removed
during the excavation process in the building area. The removal and recompaction
depth may be deeper in the south half of the project ( outside the limits of the
parking garage). Removal depths will vary in the area of the existing desilting basin
at the approximate central west portion of the site. As such, we recommended that
the loose soils be removed and recompacted as part of site preparation based on
_field observations at the time of grading. -~~r _!_~e exterior _2~rking -~re~~, the
anticipated depth of rework is 2 to 2½ feet.

As previously stated, project structural plans were not available at the preparation
of this report. Therefore, finish floor elevations for the basement and proposed
foundation type(s) and locations are not presently known. Based on our
conversation with Mr. Mccann, we understand that a below-grade parking garage
will be constructed as part of the development. Based on our experience, we
anticipate that the garage will extend approximately 10 to 12 feet below present
grade. At this depth, the resulting foundation loads will directly load the
compressible alluvium that extends to approximately 18 feet below existing grade
and may encounter the pavement section that exists below grade. If the pavement
is not removed as part of the basement excavation, it shall be removed below the
proposed basement area and replaced with compacted fill. To reduce the potential
for excessive movement resulting from compression of the underlying alluvium,
• design considerations must be made. Presented herein are possible options. These
options are preliminary and must be re-evaluated and finalized once the final
project plans are completed. These options consist of the following:
Eliminate or significantly raise the below-grade parking garage. Elimination
of the garage raises the elevation of the foundation loads to near grade.
Based on the fill thickness (12 to 14 feet), the resulting footing pressures are
considerably reduced at the elevation of the compressible alluvium.
If below-grade parking structure is required, the structural and architectural
design must consider the resulting differential and total settlements. In
estimating these values, the following assumptions are made: allowable
bearing is 2000 psf; maximum width of continuous perimeter footings is 2
le_~t; maximum width of isolated interior _pier footings __ is 8 fe~_t.
Based on these values, the resulting differential settlement between
continuous and isolated foundation elements is anticipated to be

approximately 1.3 inches. Isolated footings would undergo approximately
1.8 inches of total settlement and continuous footings would undergo 0.5-
inch of total settlement. Spans and architectural finishes must consider
these projected movements.
For construction of a below-grade parking structure, a structural mat-type
foundation system can be designed utilizing an allowable (net) bearing
capacity of 1,200 psf. Resulting total (not exceeding 1 inch) and differential
movements will be reduced considerably.
For construction of a below-grade parking structure with a conventional
foundation, removal and recompaction of the compressible alluvium can be
performed. We anticipate the removal depth to extend to approximately 18
feet below existing grade. The resulting total (not exceeding 1 inch) and
differential movements will be reduced considerably.
Preparation of Soils for Site Development
Existing vegetation observed on the site must be removed prior to the
preparation of the building pad and/or areas to receive structural
improvements.
In order to provide a uniform, firm soils base for the proposed improvements
such as hardscape driveways and parking areas, the existing loose fill across
the site shall be excavated to expose firm fill soils, or as per the indications of
our field representative. This depth is expected to be approximately 2 to 2½ --------------------------· ---------------------~ ----
feet across the site. The excavated loose fill soils shall be cleaned of any
debris and deleterious materials, watered to approximately optimum

moisture content and compacted to at least 90 percent of Maximum Dry
Density, in accordance with the latest revision of ASTM D1557.
If the removal and recompaction option is elected for the below-grade
parking structure, the removal should extend down to 18 feet below present
grade and extend laterally a distance of at least 10 feet beyond the perimeter
of the basement if temporary steep slopes are chosen, and at least 5 feet if
shoring is used. Recompacted fill soils shall be watered to optimum moisture
content and compacted to at least 90 percent of Maximum Dry Density in
accordance with ASTM D1557.
Areas exposing any clayey soils shall be scarified, moisture conditioned to at
least 5 percent above optimum moisture content, and be compacted to
between 88 and 92 percent. Any clayey fill soils shall be similarly compacted.
Very low to low expansive soils shall be compacted to at least 90 percent of
maximum dry density and contain a moisture content at least equal to the
optimum.
Those areas supporting proposed patios, walkways, driveways and parking
areas should be prepared in a like manner.
3. No uncontrolled fill soils shall remain on the site after completion of any
future site work. In the event that temporary ramps or pads are constructed
of uncontrolled fill soils, the loose fill soils shall be removed and/or
recompacted prior to completion of the grading operation.
4. Any buried objects or abandoned utility lines, etc., which might be discovered
in the construction areas, shall be removed and the excavation properly
backfilled with approved on-site ·or imported fill soils and compacted to at

least 90 percent of Maximum Dry Density. The existing desilting basin has a
standpipe that will require abandonment.
5. Any backfill soils placed in utility trenches or behind retaining walls that
support structures and other improvements (such as patios, sidewalks1
driveways, pavements1 etc.) shall be compacted to at least 90 percent of
Maximum Dry Density.
6. Pavement design will be based on anticipated traffic loading conditions and
soil types utilized at final grades. Actual design should be performed once
remedial grading is performed. For planning purposes1 we anticipate a
section consisting of 4 inches of asphaltic concrete over 6 inches of aggregate
base.
B. Design Parameters for Foundation and Retaining Walls
7. The recommended basic allowable soil bearing capacity for design of
continuous and isolated foundations for the proposed structure is 2,000
pounds per square foot (psf) and net ( excluding soil weight being removed)
1,200 psf for a structural mat-type foundation on properly compacted fill or
alluvial materials. The modulus of subgrade reaction for a settlement not to
exceed 1 inch is 36 ksf. These load-bearing values may be utilized in the
design of continuous foundations and spread footings when founded a
minimum of 24 inches into the properly compacted fill or alluvium, measured
from the lowest adjacent grade at the time of foundation construction.
Three-story structures should be founded on a minimum 18-inch-wide
footings. The basic load-bearing capacities may be increased one-third for
structural analysis that includes wind or seismic loads.

Our experience indicates that, for various reasons, footings and slabs
occasionally crack, causing ceramic tiles and brittle surfaces to become
damaged. Therefore, we recommend that all conventional shallow footings
and slabs-on-grade contain at least a minimum amount of reinforcing steel to
reduce the separation of cracks, should they occur.
9.1 A minimum of steel for continuous footings should include at least four
No. 5 steel bars continuous, with two bars near the bottom of the
footing and two bars near the top.
9.2 Isolated square footings should contain, as a minimum, a grid of three
No. 5 steel bars on 12-inch centers, both ways, with no less than three
bars each way.
9.3 Interior floor slabs ( on-grade) for the garage should be a minimum of
5 inches actual thickness and be reinforced with No. 3 bars on 18-inch

centers, both ways, placed at midheight in the slab. For structural
mats, minimum thicknesses and steel schedules shall be provided by
the project structural engineer. Slabs shall be underlain by a 4-inch
thick layer of crushed rock gravel. A waterproofing membrane may be
included (such as Paraseal) if s.oil moisture is a concern to the
owner/developer. Slab subgrade soil shall be verified by a
Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. representative to have the proper
moisture content within 48 hours prior to placement of a vapor barrier
and pouring of concrete. If a shallow slab on-grade is used, we
recommend that the slab be underlain by. 2 inches of sand on a
moisture barrier, on an additional 2 inches of sand. The visqueen layer
shall have at least 6-inch-wide overlaps and be sealed with tape.
Basement elevation slabs and walls shall be provided with proper
drainage and waterproofing sealant to help control below-ground soil
moisture.
We recommend the project Civil/Structural Engineer incorporate isolation
joints and sawcuts to at least one-fourth the thickness of the slab in any floor
designs. The joints and cuts, if properly placed, should reduce the potential
for and help control floor slab cracking. It is recommended that concrete
shrinkage joints be placed no further than 20 feet, approximately. However,
due to a number of reasons (such as base preparation, construction
techniques, curing procedures, and normal shrinkage of concrete), some
cracking of slabs can be expected. Basement garage slabs should
preferably be reinforced with enough steel to eliminate control
joints. If the basement garage slab is designed as a mat, control joints are
----------
anticipated to be deleted.

NOTE: The project Civil/Structural Engineer shall review all reinforcing
schedules. The reinforcing minimums recommended herein are not to be
construed as structural designs, but merely as minimum safeguards to
reduce possible crack separations.
10. As a minimum for protection of on-site improvements, it is recommended
that all nonstructural concrete slabs (such as patios, sidewalks, etc.), be
founded on properly compacted and tested fill or dense native formation and
underlain by at least 12 inches of nonexpansive, properly compacted soils,
with 6x6-6/6 welded wire mesh at the center of the slab, and contain
adequate isolation and control joints. The performance of on-site
improvements can be greatly affected by soil base preparation and the
quality of construction. It is therefore important that all improvements are
properly designed and constructed for the existing soil conditions. The
improvements should not be built on loose soils or fills placed without our
observations and testing. Any rigid improvements founded on the existing
loose surface soils can be expected to undergo movement and possible
damage and is therefore not recommended. Geotechnical Exploration,
Inc. takes no responsibility for the performance of the improvements. Any
exterior area to receive concrete improvements shall be verified for
compaction and moisture within 48 hours prior to concrete placement.
Control joints for exterior slabs shall be placed at spaces no farther than 15
feet apart, or the width of the slab, whichever is less, and also at reentrant
corners. Control joints in exterior slabs shall be sealed with elastomeric joint
sealant. The sealant shall be inspected every 6 months and be properly
maintained by the owner.

11. The active earth pressure (to be utilized in the design of any cantilever
retaining walls, utilizing imported or on-site, very low expansive to low
expansive soils [EI less than 50] as backfill) shall be based on an Equivalent
Fluid Weight of 38 pounds per cubic foot (for level backfill only). Soils having
moderate expansion (EI between 51 and 90) shall not be utilized as wall
backfill within a zone horizontally equivalent to one-half the wall's height. In
the event that a retaining wall is surcharged by sloping backfill, the design
active earth pressure shall be based on the appropriate Equivalent Fluid
Weight presented in the following table:
~-·::·.---• • .• ,, ..... ·::~;~ • : • •• · Height of Slope/Height of Wall* ·-·.· .. · .
. Slope Ratio :; . 0~25 .-· 0.50 0&75 1.00(.+)

*To determine design active earth pressures for ratios intermediate to those
presented, interpolate between the stated values.
In the event that a retaining wall is to be designed for a restrained condition,
a uniform pressure equal to 9xH (nine times the total height of retained soil,
considered in pounds per square foot) shall be considered as acting
everywhere on the back of the wall in addition to the design Equivalent Fluid
~ Weight. The soil pressure produced by any footings, improvements, or any
other surcharge placed within a horizontal distance equal to the height of the
retaining portion of the wall shall be included in the wall design pressure.
Any loads placed on the active wedge behind a cantilever retaining wall shall
-~-e included JD th1:= design by multiplying the load weight by a fa_c~<_?r <?f 0.32.
For restrained walls, the lateral pressure factor is 0.50.

The retaining wall and/or building retaining wall plans shall indicate that the
walls shall be backfilled with very low to low expansive soils (EI=less than
50).
12. The passive earth pressure of the encountered dense natural-ground soils
and any properly compacted fill soils (to be used for design of shallow
foundation and footings to resist the lateral forces) shall be based on an
Equivalent Fluid Weight of 250 pounds per cubic foot. This passive earth
pressure shall only be considered valid for design if the ground adjacent to
the foundations structure is essentially level for a distance of at least three
times the total depth of the foundation into properly compacted soil or stiff
alluvium.
13. An allowable Coefficient of Friction of 0.40 times the dead load may be used
between the bearing soils and concrete wall foundations or structure
foundations and floor slabs.
C. Floor Slab Vapor Transmission
14. Vapor moisture can cause some problems on moisture sensitive floors, some
floor sealers, or sensitive equipment in direct contact with the floor, in
addition to mildew and staining on slabs, walls and carpets.
15. The common practice in Southern California is to place vapor retarders made
of PVC, or of polyethylene. PVC retarders are made in thickness ranging
from 10-to 60-mil. Polyethylene retarders, called visqueen, range from 5-to
------------• ----
10-mil in thickness. The thicker the plastic, the stronger the resistance
against puncturing.

16. Although polyethylene (visqueen) products are most commonly used,
products such as Vaporshield possess much higher tensile strength and are
more specifically designed for and intended to retard moisture transmission
into concrete slabs. The use of Vaporshield or equivalent is highly
recommended when a structure is intended for moisture-sensitive floor
coverings or uses.
17. The vapor retarders need to have joints lapped and sealed with mastic or
manufacturer's recommended tape for additional protection. To provide
some protection to the moisture retarder, a layer of at least 4 inches of clean
sand on top and 2 inches at the bottom shall also be provided. No heavy
equipment, stakes or other puncturing instruments shall be used on top of
the liner before or during concrete placement. In actual practice, stakes are
often driven through the retarder material, equipment is dragged or rolled
across the retarder, overlapping or jointing is not properly implemented, etc.
All these construction deficiencies reduce the retarder's effectiveness.
The vapor retarders are not waterproof. They are intended to help prevent
or reduce capillary migration of vapor through the soil into the pores of
concrete slabs. Other waterproofing systems must supplement vapor
retarders· if full waterproofing is desired. The owner. should be consulted to
determine the specific level of protection required.
D. Slopes
18. The soils that occur within 5 feet of the face of any slopes often possess poor
lateral stability and structures and other improvements could suffer
differential movement as a result of the poor lateral stability of these soils.

Shallow footings of proposed structures, walls, fences, parking areas,
driveways, walkways, etc., when founded 5 feet and farther away from the
top of slopes, may be of standard design in conformance with the
recommended load-bearing value. If the proposed improvements are located
closer than 5 feet inside the top of slopes, they shall be deepened to 2 feet
below a line beginning at a point 5 feet horizontally inside the slopes and
projected outward and downward, parallel to the face of the slope and into
firm soils (see Figure No. IV).
19. We anticipate that temporary slopes into the surface fill soils and alluvial
material of approximately 10 to 15 feet in height may be required during the
excavation process and construction of the basement-level garage. Based on
the results of our field investigation, it is our opinion that the following
temporary-slope design criteria may be considered in areas where the
excavation slope top will be at least 10 feet away from any existing
structures. The existing alluvial materials may be cut vertical for the lower 3
feet and at a slope ratio of 1.0 horizontal to 1.0 vertical for the remaining
height (for an unsupported period not to exceed eight weeks). Fill soils may
be cut at a slope ratio of 1.0: 1.0 (horizontal to vertical) for an unsupported
period not to exceed 8 weeks. After that time, a slope condition evaluation
shall be provided by our firm. No soil stockpiles or surcharge may be placed
within a horizontal distance equal to the height of the excavation.
Any plans for slopes in excess of the anticipated 15-foot maximum must be
presented to our office prior to grading to allow time for review and specific
recommendations, if warranted. Proper drainage away from the excavation
--------------------------
shall be provided at all times.

A representative of Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. must observe any
steep temporary slopes during construction. In the event that soils
comprising a slope are not as anticipated, any required slope design changes
would be presented at that time.
Where not superseded by specific recommendations presented in this report,
trenches, excavations and temporary slopes at the subject site shall be
constructed in accordance with Title 8, Construction Safety Orders, issued by
OSHA.
20. It is recommended that all compacted fill slopes and natural cut slopes be
planted with an erosion resistant plant, in conformance with the requirements
of the City of Carlsbad.
E. Site Drainage Considerations
21. Adequate measures shall be taken to properly finish-grade the building site
after the structure and other improvements are in place. Drainage waters
from this site and adjacent properties are to be directed away from the
foundations, floor slabs, footings, and slopes, onto the natural drainage
direction· for this area or into properly designed and approved drainage
facilities. Roof gutters and downspouts should be installed on the structure,
with the runoff directed away from the foundations via closed drainage lines.
Proper subsurface and surface drainage will help minimize the potential for
waters to seek the level of the bearing soils under the foundations, footings
and floor slabs or further erosion of the adjacent natural slope. Failure to
observe this recommendation could result in undermining and possible
differential settlement of the structure or other improvements on the site.

Page 28
In addition, appropriate erosion control measures shall be taken at all times
during construction to prevent surface runoff waters from-entering footing
excavations, ponding on finished building pad areas or running over the
existing cut slopes.
22. Due to the buildup of groundwater (derived primarily from rainfall and
irrigation), excess moisture is a common problem in below-grade structures
or behind retaining walls. These problems are generally in the form of water
seepage through walls, mineral staining, mold growth and high humidity.
Even without the presence of free water, the capillary draw characteristics,
especially of fine grained soils, can result in excessive transmission of water
vapor through walls and floor slabs. In order to minimize the potential for
moisture-related problems to develop at the site, proper ventilation and
waterproofing shall be provided for below-ground areas and the backfill side
of all structure retaining walls should be properly waterproofed and drained
(see Figure No. V). As shown on Figure No. V, the bottom of the perforated
drain line should be at least 12 inches below the bottom of the interior floor
slab.
23. Proper subdrains and free-draining backwall material or geocomposite
drainage shall be installed behind all retaining walls (in addition to proper
waterproofing) on the subject project. Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. will
assume no liability for damage to structures or improvements which is
attributable to poor drainage. Storm drain lines shall not discharge into
perforated subdrain lines.
It is likely that proper site grading and recompaction will reduce the potential
for perched water conditions such as those encountered during site

exploration. Due to the potential for the fill/alluvial contact to yield continued
perched water flow, however, proper subdrain installation is mandatory.
24. Planter areas, flower beds and planter boxes shall be sloped to drain away
from the foundations, footings, and floor slabs at a gradient of at least 5
percent within 5 feet from the perimeter walls. Planter boxes shall be
constructed with a closed bottom and a subsurface drain, installed in gravel,
with the direction of subsurface and surface flow away from the slopes,
foundations, footings, and floor slabs, to an adequate drainage facility.
Sufficient area drains and proper surface gradient shall be provided
throughout the project. Roof gutter and downspouts shall be tied to storm
drain lines.
F. General Recommendations
25. Following placement of any concrete floor slabs, sufficient drying time must
be allowed prior to placement of floor coverings. Premature placement of
floor coverings may result in degradation of adhesive materials and loosening
of the finish· floor materials.
26. • In order· to minimize any work delays at the subject site during site
development, this firm should be contacted 24 hours prior to any need for
observation of footing excavations or field density testing of compacted fill
soils. If possible, placement of formwork and steel reinforcement in footing
excavations should not occur prior to observing the excavations; in the event
that our observations reveal the need for deepening or redesigning
foundation structures at any locations, any formwork or steel reinforcement
in the affected footing excavation areas would have to be removed prior to

correction of the observed problem (i.e., deepening the footing excavation,
recompacting soil in the bottom of the excavation, etc.)
IX. GRADING NOTES
Any required grading operations shall be performed in accordance with the General
Earthwork Specifications (Appendix B) and the requirements of the City of Carlsbad
Grading Ordinance.
27. Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. recommends that we be asked to verify the
actual soil conditions revealed during site grading work and footing
excavation to be as anticipated in the "Report of Soil Investigation and
Geologic Reconnaissance" for the project. In addition, the compaction of any
fill soils placed during site grading work must be tested by a soil engineer. It
is the responsibility of the grading contractor to comply with the
requirements on the grading plans and the local grading ordinance. All
retaining wall and trench backfill that will support structures or rigid
improvements shall be properly compacted. Geotechnical Exploration,

29. This firm does not practice or consult in the field of safety engineering. We
do not direct the contractor's operations, and we cannot be responsible for
the safety of personnel other than our own on the site; the safety of others is
the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor should notify the owner if
he considered any of the recommended actions presented herein to be
unsafe.
X. LIMITATIONS
Our conclusions and recommendations have been based on all available data
obtained from our field investigation and laboratory analysis, as well as our
experience with the soils and formational materials located in the City of Carlsbad.
Of necessity, we must assume a certain degree of continuity between exploratory
excavations and/or natural exposures. It is, therefore, necessary that all
observations, conclusions, and recommendations be verified at the time grading
operations begin or when footing excavations are placed. In the event
discrepancies are noted, additional recommendations may be issued, if required.
The work performed and recommendations presented herein are the result of an
investigation and analysis which meet the contemporary standard of care in our
profession within the County of San Diego. No warranty is provided.
This report should be considered valid for a period of two (2) years, and is subject
to review by our firm following that time. If significant modifications are made to
the building plans, especially with respect to the height and location of any
proposed structures, this report must be presented to us for immediate review and
possible revision.

GENERAL EARTHWORK SPECIFICATIONS
General
The objective of these specifications is to properly establish procedures for the clearing and preparation of the
existing natural ground or properly compacted fill to receive new fill; for the selection of the fill material; and for
the fill compaction and testing methods to be used.
Scope of Work
The earthwork includes all the activities and resources provided by the contractor to construct in a good
workmanlike manner all the grades of the filled areas shown in the plans. The major items of work covered in this
section include all clearing and grubbing, removing and disposing of materials, preparing areas to be filled,
compacting of fill, compacting of backfills, subdrain installations, and all other work necessary to complete the
grading of the filled areas.
Site Visit and Site Investigation
1.
2.
The contractor shall visit the site and carefully study it, and make all inspections necessary in order to
determine the full extent o.f the work required to complete all grading in conformance with the drawings and
specifications. The contractor shall satisfy himself as to the nature, location, and extent of the work
conditions, the conformation and condition of the existing ground surface; and the type of equipment, labor,
and facilities needed prior to and during prosecution of the work. The contractor shall satisfy himself as to
the character, quality, and quantity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to be encountered. Any
inaccuracies or discrepancies between the actual field conditions and the drawings, or between the drawings
and specifications, must be brought to the engineer's attention in order to clarify the exact nature of the
work to be performed.
A soils investigation report has been prepared for this project by GEi. It is available for review and should be
used as a reference to the surface and subsurface soil and bedrock conditions on this project. Any
recommendations made in the report of the soil investigation or subsequent reports shall become an
addendum to these specifications.
Authority of the Soils Engineer and Engineering Geologist
The soils engineer shall be the owner's representative to observe and test the construction of fills. Excavation and
the placing of fill shall be under the observation of the soils engineer and his/her representative, and he/she shall
give a written opinion regarding conformance with the specifications ·upon completion of grading. The soils
engineer shall have the authority to cause the removal and replacement of porous topsoils, uncompacted or
improperly compacted fills, disturbed bedrock materials, and soft alluvium, and shall have the authority to approve
or reject materials proposed for use in the compacted fill areas.
The soils engineer shall have, in conjunction with the engineering geologist, the authority to approve the
preparation of natural ground and toe-of-fill benches to receive fill material. The engineering geologist shall have
the authority to evaluate the stability of the existing or proposed slopes, and to evaluate the necessity of remedial
_m_e_asures. If any unstable condition is being created by cutting or filling, the engineering geologist and/or soils
engineer shall advise the contractor ·aria ownef7mmeaiarely, -and -prohibit gr-ad~ng-in thB .aff-ecte.d _ar_e_a .uotil ~\d.~~
time as corrective measures are taken.
The owner shall decide all questions regarding: (1 l the interpretation of the drawings and specifications, (2) the
acceptable fulfillment of the contract on the part of the contractor, and (3) the matter -of compensa_tion.

Clearing and Grubbing
2.
Clearing and grubbing shall consist of the removal from all areas to be graded of all surface trash, abandoned
improvements, paving, culverts, pipe, and vegetation (including --but not limited to --heavy weed growth,
trees, stumps, logs and roots larger than 1-inch in diameter}.
All organic and inorganic materials resulting from the clearing and grubbing operations shall be collected,
piled, and disposed of by the contractor to give the cleared areas a neat and finished appearance. Burning of
combustible materials on-site shall not be permitted unless allowed by local regulations, and at such times
and in such a manner to prevent the fire from spreading to areas adjoining the property or cleared area.
I 3. It is understood that minor amounts of organic materials may remain in the fill soils due to the near
impossibility of complete removal. The amount remaining, however, must be considered negligible, and in no
case can be allowed to occur in concentrations or total quantities sufficient to contribute to settlement upon
decomposition. I

4.
After _clearing and grubbing, all uncompacted or improperly compacted fills, soft or loose soils, or unsuitable
materials, shall be removed to expose competent natural ground, undisturbed bedrock, or properly compacted
fill as indicated in the soils investigation report or by our field representative. Where the unsuitable materials
are exposed in final graded areas, they shall be removed and replaced as compacted fill.
The ground surface exposed after removal of unsuitable soils shall be scarified to a depth of at least 6
inches, brought to the specified moisture content, and then the scarified ground compacted to at least the
specified density. Where undisturbed bedrock is exposed at the surface, scarification and recompaction shall
not be required.
All areas to receive compacted fill, including all removal areas and toe-of-fill benches, shall be observed and
approved by the soils engineer and/or engineering geologist prior to placing compacted fill.
Where fills are made on hillsides or exposed slope areas with gradients greater than 20 percent, horizontal
benches shall be cut into firm, undisturbed, natural ground in order to provide both lateral and vertical
stability. This is to provide a horizontal base so that each layer is placed and compacted on a horizontal
plane: _ The initial bench at the toe of the fill shall be at least 10 feet in width on firm, undisturbed, natural
ground at the ·elevation of the toe stake placed at the bottom of the design slope. The engineer shall .
determine the width and frequency of all succeeding benches, which will vary with the soil conditions and
the steepness of the slope. Ground slopes flatter than 20 percent (5.0:1.0) shall be benched when
considered necessary by the soils engineer.
Fill and Backfill Material
Unless otherwise specified, the on-site material obtained from the project excavations may be used as fill or
_g_ackfill, provided that all organic material, rubbish, debris, and other objectionable material contained therein is first
removed~ the evenftliaf expa-nsive-materials -are encountered .dudog_f_o_u_oda_ti_qn excavations within 3 feet of
finished grade and they have not been properly processed, they shall be entirely removed or thoroughly-mixed ~with
good, granular material before incorporating them in fills. No footing shall be allowed to bear on soils which, in the
opinion of the soils engineer, are detrimentally expansive --unless designed for this clayey condition.
However, rocks, boulders, broken Portland cement concrete, and bituminous-type pavement obtained from the
project excavations may be permitted in the backfill or fill with the following limitations:

The maximum dimension of any piece used in the top 10 feet shall be no larger than 6 inches.
Clods or hard lumps of earth of 6 inches in greatest dimension shall be broken up before compacting the
material in fill.
If the fill material originating from the project excavation contains large rocks, boulders, or hard lumps that
cannot be broken readily, pieces ranging from 6 inches in diameter to 2 feet in maximum dimension may be
used in fills below final subgrade if all pieces are placed in such a manner {such as windrows) as to eliminate
nesting or voids between them. No rocks over 4 feet will be allowed in the fill.
Pieces larger than 6 inches shall not be placed within 12 inches of any structure.
Pieces larger than 3 inches shall not be placed within 12 inches of the subgrade for paving.
Rockfills containing less than 40 percent of soil passing 3/4-inch sieve may be permitted in designated areas.
Specific recommendations shall be made by the soils engineer and be subject to approval by the city
engineer.
7. Continuous observation by the soils engineer is required during rock placement.
8. Special and/or additional recommendations may be provided in writing by the soils engineer to modify,
clarify, or amplify these specifications.
9. During grading operations, soil types other than those analyzed in the soil investigation report may be
encountered by the contractor. The soils engineer shall be consulted to evaluate the suitability of these soils
as fill materials.
Placing and Compacting Fill Material
1. After preparing the areas to be filled, the approved fill material shall be placed in approximately horizontal
layers, with lift thickness compatible to the material being placed and the type of equipment being used.
Unless otherwise approved by the soils engineer, each layer spread for compaction shall not exceed 8 inches
of loose thickness. Adequate drainage of the fill shall be provided at all times during the construction period.
I

4.
I
I
I
When the moisture content of the fill material is above that specified by the engineer, resulting in inadequate
compaction or unstable fill, the fill material shall be aerated by blading and scarifying or other satisfactory
methods until the moisture content is as specified.
After each layer has been placed, mixed, and spread evenly, it shall be thoroughly compacted to not less
than the density set forth in the specifications. Compaction shall be accomplished with sheepsfoot rollers,
multiple-:.wheel pneumat1c-=-foea roil•ers,· or-other-approved -t-y.pes _o.f .ac.c.eptable compaction equipment.
Equipment shall be of such design that it will be able to compact the fill to the specified relative compaction:
Compaction shall cover the entire fill area, and the equipment shall make sufficient trips to ensure that the
desired density has been obtained throughout the entire fill. At locations where it would be impractical due
to inaccessibility of rolling compacting equipment, fill layers shall be compacted to the specified requirements
by hand-directed compaction equipment.

When soil types or combination of soil types are encountered which tend to develop densely packed surfaces
as a result of spreading or compacting operations, the surface of each layer of fill sha_ll be sufficiently
roughened after compaction to ensure bond to the succeeding layer.
Unless otherwise specified, fill slopes shall not be steeper than 2.0 horizontal to 1.0 vertical. In general, fill
slopes shall be finished in conformance with the lines and grades shown on the plans. The surface of fill
slopes shall be overfilled to a distance from finished slopes such that it will allow compaction equipment to
operate freely within the zone of the finished slope, and then cut back to the finished grade to expose the
compacted core. Alternate compaction procedures include the backrolling of slopes with sheepsfoot rollers
in increments of 3 to 5 feet in elevation gain. Alternate methods may be used by the contractor, but they
shall be evaluated for approval by the soils engineer.
Unless otherwise specified, all allowed expansive fill material shall be compacted to a moisture content of
approximately 2 to 4 percent above the optimum moisture content. Nonexpansive fill shall be compacted at
near-optimum moisture content. All fill shall be compacted, unless otherwise specified, to a relative
compaction not less than 95 percent for fill in the upper 12 inches of subgrades under areas to be paved
with asphalt concrete or Portland concrete, and not less than 90 percent for other fill. The relative
compaction is the ratio of the dry unit weight of the compacted fill to the laboratory maximum dry unit
weigGt of a sample of the same soil, obtained in accordance with A.S.T.M. D-1557 test method.
The observation and periodic testing by the soils engineer are intended to provide the contractor with an
ongoing measure of the quality of the fill compaction operation. It is the responsibility of the grading
contractor to utilize this information to establish the degrees of compactive effort required on the project.
More importantly, it is the responsibility of the grading contractor to ensure that proper compactive effort is
applied at all times during the grading operation, including during the absence of soils engineering
representatives.
Trench Backfill
1. Trench excavations which extend under graded lots, paved areas, areas under the influence of structural
loading, in slopes or close to slope areas, shall be backfilled under the observations and testing of the soils
engineer. All trenches not falling within the aforementioned locations shall be backfilled in accordance with
the City or County regulating agency specifications.
2.
3.
4.
Unless otherwise specified, the minimum degree of compaction shall be 90 percent of the laboratory
maximum dry density.
Any soft, spongy, unstable, or other similar material encountered in the trench excavation upon which the
bedding material or pipe is to be placed, shall be removed to a depth recommended by the soils engineer and
replaced with bedding materials suitably densified.
Bedding material shall first be placed so that the pipe is supported for the full length of the barrel with full
bearing on the bottom segment. After the needed testing of the pipe is accomplished, the bedding shall be
completed to at least 1 foot on top of the pipe. The bedding shall be properly densified before backfill is
-placed:-Beddingsnall -c·on-sfarof·granular ma-te~ial -with -a sand .eq.ulvaLeQt not less than 30, or other material
approved by the engineer. -----------------
No rocks greater than 6 inches in diameter will be allowed in the backfill placed between 1 foot above the
pipe and 1 foot below .finished subgrade. Rocks greater than 2.5 inches in any dimension will not be allowed
in the backfill placed within 1 foot of pavement subgrade. •

5. Material for mechanically compacted backfill shall be placed in lifts of horizontal layers and properly
moistened prior to compaction. In addition, the layers shall have a thickness compatible with the material
being placed and the type of equipment being used. Each layer shall be evenly spread, m.ciistened or dried,
and then tamped or rolled until the specified relative compaction has been attained.

8.
Backfill shall be mechanically compacted by means of tamping rollers, sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic tire
rollers, vibratory rollers, or other mechanical tampers. Impact-type pavement breakers (stampers) will not be
permitted over clay, asbestos cement, plastic, cast iron, or nonreinforced concrete pipe. Permission to use
specific compaction equipment shall not be construed as guaranteeing or implying that the use of such
equipment will not result in damage to adjacent ground, existing improvements, or improvements installed
under the contract. The contractor shall make his/her own determination in this regard.
Jetting shall not be permitted as a compaction method unless the soils engineer allows it in writing.
Clean granular material shall not be used as backfill or bedding in trenches located in slope areas or within a
distance of 10 feet of the top of slopes unless provisions are made for a drainage system to mitigate the
potential buildup of seepage forces into the slope mass.
Observations and Testing
1.
2.
3.
4.
The soils engineers or their representatives shall sufficiently observe and test the grading operations so that
they can state their opinion as to whether or not the fill was constructed in accordance with the
specifications.
The soils engineers or their representatives shall take sufficient density tests during the placement of
compacted fill. The contractor should assist the soils engineer and/or his/her representative by digging test
pits for removal determinations and/or for testing compacted fill. In addition, the contractor should cooperate
with the soils engineer by removing or shutting down equipment from the area being tested.
Fill shall be tested for compliance with the recommended relative compaction and moisture conditions. Field
density testing should be performed by using approved methods by A.S.T.M., such as A.S.T.M. D1556,
D2922, and/or D2937. Tests to evaluate density of compacted fill should be provided on the basis of not
less than one test for each 2-foot vertical lift of the fill, but not less than one test for each 1,000 cubic yards
of fill placed. Actual test intervals may vary as field conditions dictate. In fill slopes, approximately half of
the tests shall be made at the fill slope, except that not more than one test needs to be made for each 50
horizontal feet of slope in each 2-foot vertical lift. Actual test interv_als may vary as field conditions dictat_e.
Fill found not to be in conformance with the grading recommendations should be removed or otherwise
handled as recommended by the soils engineer.
Site Protection
It shall be the grading contractor's obligation to take all measures deemed necessary during grading to maintain
adequate safety measures and working conditions, and to provide erosion-control devices for the protection of.
_excw_ate.d areas, slopa area_§_, fini~l]_ed work on the site and adjoining properties, from storm damage and flood
hazard originating on the project. It shall be the contractor'sresponsibility To maintafnslopes mth·e,r·as-gra-ded

All observations, testing services, and approvals given by the soils engineer and/or geologist shall not relieve the
contractor of his/her responsibilities of performing the work in accordance with these specifications.
After grading is completed and the soils engineer has finished his/her observations and/or testing of the work, no
further excavation or filling shall be done except under his/her observations.
Adverse Weather Conditions

Precautions shall be taken by the contractor during the performance of site clearing, excavations, and
grading to protect the worksite from flooding, ponding, or inundation by poor or improper surface drainage.
Temporary provisions shall be made during the rainy season to adequately direct surface drainage away from
and off the worksite. Where low areas cannot be avoided, pumps should be kept on hand to continually
remove water during periods of rainfall.
During periods of rainfall, plastic sheeting shall be kept reasonably accessible to prevent unprotected slopes
from becoming saturated. Where necessary during periods of rainfall, the contractor shall install checkdams,
desilting basins, rip-rap, sandbags, or other devices or methods necessary to control erosion and provide safe
conditions.
During· periods of rainfall, the soils engineer should be kept informed by the contractor as to the nature of
remedial or preventative work being performed (e.g. pumping, placement of sandbags or plastic sheeting,
other labor, dozing, etc.).
Following periods of rainfall, the contractor shall contact the soils engineer and arrange a walk-over of the
site in order to visually assess rain-related damage. The soils engineer may also recommend excavations and
testing in order to aid in his/her assessments. At the request of the soils engineer, the contractor shall make
excavations in order to evaluate the extent of rain-related damage.
Rain-related damage shall be considered to include, but may not be limited to, erosion, silting, saturation,
swelling, structural distress, and other adverse conditions identified by the soils engineer. Soil adversely
affected shall be classified as Unsuitable Materials, and shall be subject to overexcavation and replacement
with compacted fill or other remedial grading, as recommended by the soils engineer.
Relatively level areas, where saturated soils and/or erosion gullies exist to depths of greater than 1 .0 foot,
shall be overexcavated to unaffected, competent material. Where less than 1.0 foot in depth, unsuitable
materials may be processed in place to achieve near-optimum moisture conditions,_ then thoroughly
recompacted in accordance with the applicable specifications. If the desired results are not achieved,· the
affected materials shall be over-excavated, then replaced in accordance with the applicable specifications.
I-7. In slope areas, where saturated soils and/or erosion gullies exist to depths of greater than 1 .0 foot, they shall
be overexcavated and replaced as compacted fill in accordance with the applicable specifications. Where
affected materials exist to depths of 1 .0 foot or less below proposed finished grade, remedial grading by
moisture-conditioning in place, followed by thorough recompaction in accordance with the applicable grading
guidelines herein presented may be attempted. If materials shall be overexcavated and replaced as
compacted fill, it shall be done in accordance with the slope-repair recommendations herein. As field
