This report presents the results of the preliminary geotechnical investigation Southern California
Soil & Testing performed for a proposed Meeting House to be constructed by the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints west of the intersection of Camino De Los Caches and Via
Calendo, in the City of Carlsbad, California. The site location is shown on Figure Number 1 on
the following page. The information in this report is based on the site plan available at the time
this preliminary report was prepared. It is understood that a new site plan is being prepared with
revised building and retaining wall locations. Consequently, recommendations in this report may
be revised when the new information is available.
The project will consist of the construction of a building structure, access drives, parking lots
and other related facilities as indicated on Plate Number 1. A retaining wall is proposed along a
stream channel on the west side of the property (designated "Plan North" on Plate Number 1 ).
It is our understanding that the plans are being changed to reflect a slope and low wall at this
location. The parcel to be developed covers approximately 6.82 acres. The main structure will
consist of a 16,558-square foot Meeting House.
To assist in the preparation of this report, we were provided with a preliminary Grading and
Drainage Plan by BSW International dated August 14, 2000. The site configuration,
topography, and the approximate locations of our test borings and test pits are shown on Plate
Number 1.
2 PROJECT SCOPE
The investigation consisted of: surface reconnaissance, subsurface exploration, obtaining
representative disturbed and undisturbed samples, laboratory testing, analysis of the field and
laboratory data, research of available geologic literature pertaining to the site, and preparation
of this report. More specifically, the intent of this analysis was to:

a) Explore subsurface conditions to the depths influenced by the proposed construction.
b) Develop recommendations for foundation bearing support of the building structures and ·
related slabs, including maximum allowable soil bearing pressures, minimum bearing
elevations, foundation design recommendations and anticipated soil settlement or
consolidation. Building slab recommendations include preparation of slab underlayment,
indicating specific depth and material preparation procedures. Also, recommendations
for use of vapor barriers, retarders or building sl~b or foundation perimeter drainage
systems are included.
c) Evaluate the necessity of tying the building slab to the perimeter foundation and
suppo_rting recommendations for limiting anticipated differential and total building pad
settlement.
d) Develop criteria for management of anticipated groundwater conditions related to the
design of building foundation and slab structures and site pavements.
e) Prepare recommendations for lateral earth pressures for design of below:.grade
foundation walls or above-grade retaining walls, including backfill type, compaction, sub-
drainage, and other related requirements. Active and passive soil pressures are
expressed in PSF.
f) Provide specifications for soil materials and compaction requirements for general site fill,
underground utility construction trench backfill, preparation of site pavement subgrade,
and pad preparation necessary for the support of proposed building structures consistent
with the associated design recommendations.
g) Recommend the design thickness for pavements along with recommendations regarding
subgrade and base -preparation for each type of surfacing alternate. All site paving
recommendations are based on auto and light truck traffic typical of this type of facility
yielding a projected 10 :year service life.
h) Previous Portland cement concrete pavements are considered herein.
i) Prepare design criteria for temporary excavation (building foundation and utility
trenching) and recommended temporary protection such as excavation sheeting,
underpinning, and temporary dewatering systems.
j) Analyze the probable stability of trench and excavation slopes.
k) Analyze probable or anticipated seismic activity.
I) Analyze the effect of weather and /or construction equipment traffic on site soils during
project construction.
m) Analyze the site soils to ascertain the presence of potentially expansive, deleterious,
chemically active or corrosive materials, and/or the presence of gases.
n) Evaluate the depth of rock excavation, if any, along with recommentled methods for
removal.

3 FINDINGS
3.1 SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject site is a triangular-shaped lot located west of the intersection of Camino de Los
Caches and Via Calendo and northeast of the Stagecoach Community Park in Carlsbad,
California. The site covers approximately 6.82 acres and is bounded on the west by a drainage
channel designated as open space and on the east by the existing street. Topographically,
mo~t of the site is relatively flat. A slope downward to the level portion exists adjacent to
Camino de Los Caches. Slopes downward toward the drainage channel are located south and
west of the level portion. An elevation differential of approximately 11 feet exists between the
southeast and northwest portions of the area to be developed. Drainage is accomplished via
sheetflow toward the drainage channel. Vegetation is comprised of low weeds, except in the
drainage channel, which supports a heavy vegetation growth.
No structures were noted on the site. However, some piles of debris are located on the ground
surface throughout the lot. Utility lines are anticipated to service the site via utility mains along
Camino de Los Caches.
3.2 GENERAL GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
3.2.1 Geologic Setting and Soil Description
The subject site is located in the Coastal Range Physiographic Province of San Diego
County and is underlain by the Jurassic-age Santiago Peak Volcanics, Tertiary-age Delmar
Formation. colluvium, and artificial fill. Brief descriptions of the soils encountered on-site are
presented below.
The fill materials consist of a heterogeneous mixture of silty sand, clayey sand, and sandy
clay. The fill soils range from 1 to more than 15 feet thick beneath the area to be developed.
No fill was encountered in Boring Numbers B-5, B-6 and B-7.
The fill is underlain by colluvial deposits consisting mainly of silty clay and some sandy silt.
These soils extend to depths of about 5 to 25 feet below the existing ground surface.
Delmar Formation underlies the upper soils. The formational materials consist of
sandstones, siltstones and claystones that have been weathered to silt and clay soils in the
upper portion. The Delmar Formation extended to the maximum depth explored in all the
borings and test pits where it was encountered, except in boring B-1. In this boring, a highly
weathered volcanic rock assigned to the Santiago Peak Volcanics, was encountered below
the Delmar Formation at a depth of about 37 feet.

It should be noted that some evidence of landsliding was encountered during the course of
our investigation. Some or all of the deposits described as WDelmar Formation in the report
may be landslide-involved.
Groundwater was encountered as shallow as about 12 feet and as deep as about 27 'feet in
those borings that extended to this depth. The seepage occurred mostly in the more
permeable colluvial layers, but also along joints and fractures in the formational materials,
and in the more permeable sandy layers of the alluvium. . Groundwater levels will vary
significantly with rainfall and irrigation runoff, and could be considerably higher that these
depths during and shortly after rainy season. Subsurface conditions are illustrated on the
subsurface profiles on Plate Number 2.
3.2.2 Tectonic Setting
No faults are known to traverse the subject site, but it should be noted that much of
Southern California, including the San Diego County area, is characterized by a series of
Quaternary-age fault zones that typically consist of several individual en echelon faults that
generally strike in a northerly to northwesterly direction. Some of these fault zones (and the
individual faults within the zone) are classified as active while others are classified as only
potentially active according to the criteria of the California Division of Mines and Geology.
Active fault zones are those that have shown conclusive evidence of faulting during the
Holocene Epoch (the most recent 11,000 years) while potentially active fault zones have
demonstrated movement during the Pleistocene Epoch (11 ,000 to 2 million years before the
present) but no movement during Holocene time
A review of the available geologic literature indicates that no faults have been mapped on
site. The active Rose Canyon Fault Zone is located approximately 11.5 kilometers
southwest of the site. Other active fault ZO[les in the region that could possibly affect the
subject site include the Coronado Bank, San Diego Trough and San Clemente Fault Zones
to the west, the Elsinore and San Jacinto Fault Zones to the northeast, and the Agua Blanca
and San Miguel Fault Zones to the south.
3.3 GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
3.3.1 General
The site is located in an area that is relatively fre~ of non-earthquake, potential geologic
hazards. Outside of the drainage channel, hazards such as flooding, landsliding and
liquefaction can be considered negligible.

3.3.2 Groundshaking
June 7, 2001
Pagf! 5
The most likely geologic hazard to affect the site is ground shaking as a result of movement
along one of the fault zones mentioned above. As per the 1997 UBC for active near-source
fault zones, the following is presented for the subject site.
Seismic Zone 4: Z=0.40
Source Fault: Rose Canyon Fault Zone
Seismic Source Type: B
Soil Profile Type: S0
Distance to Seismic Source: 11-~ kilometers
Near-Source Factor Na=1.0
Near-Source Factor Nv=1.0
Seismic Coefficient Ca=0.44Na
Seismic Coefficient Cv=0.64Nv
It should be recognized that Southern California is an area that is subject to some degree of
seismic risk. It is likely that the site will experience the effects cif at least one moderate to
large earthquake during the life of the proposed improvements.
Significant site settlements are unlikely to occur during or following an earthquake, due to
the fine-grained nature of most of the soils and the consistency of the underlying formational
materials .
3.3.3 Surface Rupture and Soil Cracking
It is our opinion that no active or potentially active faults are present at the subject site
proper. Therefore, the site is not considered susceptible to surface rupture. The probability
of surface rupture or soil cracking caused by shaking from active distant sources is
considered minimal for the site.
3.3.4 Landsliding
The site is located in AREA 3 of the Landslide Hazard Identification Map. AREA 3 is
classified as Generally Susceptible to slope instability. More specifically, the property is in
SUBAREA 3-1, which includes slopes that are at or near their stability limits due to a
combination of weak materials and steep slopes (many slope angles exceed 15 degrees).
Although most slopes within SUBAREA 3-1 do not currently contain landslide deposits, they
can be expected to fail, locally, when adversely modified. The slopes along the existing
stream channel are considered subject to surficial erosion and sloughing, but overall,
massive slope instability is considered unlikely at this site.
A review of available aerial photographs and subsurface observations made during our
investigation revealed some evidence of landsliding beneath the subject site. Although the

underlying the fill soils are also compressible. In addition, most of the colluvium and some of
the fill soils are highly expansive, particularly in the lower portion. These materials will not be
suitable, in their existing condition, for support of structures and other settlement-sensitive
improvements. Removal and replacement of the compressible soils with suitable materials will
be needed if new structures are to be supported on shallow foundations. As an alternative, deep
foundations can be used for support of structures.
Slab-on-grade floors and portland cement concrete pavements can be used provided existing
compressible soils are removed, replaced and compacted beneath new floor and pavement
areas. Selective grading procedures will be needed so that expansive soils are placed in the
lower portions of deep fills. The upper five feet of new fill beneath final grade should consist of
predominantly granular soil.
5 RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 GRADING
5.1.1 Site Preparation
Site preparation should begin with the removal of any existing debris, vegetation and
deleterious matter from the areas of the site to be graded and/or that will support new
improvements. The existing compressible fill and colluvium should be removed. Some of
the alluvium and colluvium below the fill also may need to be removed. It should be noted
that paved areas.and miscellaneous exterior improvements may be subject to some distress
unless all of the compressible fill and colluvium is removed.
SCS& T should observe removal operations, determine when materials suitable for support
of new fills are encountered, and evaluate the suitability of excavated materials for reuse in
the upper portions of new compacted fill. Those soils judged detrimentally expansive should
be stockpiled separately, disposed of off-site, or placed in the deeper portions of high fills,
below a depth of five feet below footing and slab bottom grades. The contact at a depth of
five feet should be sloped laterally toward the edges of the fill, prevent pending on the
expansive soils. The minimum horizontal limits of removal should be five feet outside the
perimeter of the improvements or to the property line, whichever is less.
Imported materials for use as fill should not contain organic debris or rocks greater than 4
inches in maximum dimension should be predominantly granular with slow permeability, and
should have an Expansion Index of 20 or less. An SCS& T representative should observe
proposed imported fill materials and, if appropriate, laboratory tests should be performed to
confirm the material type and Expansion Index.

nu-page_§
As presently shown on the plans, the soils exposed at the bottom of the excavation should
be scarified to a depth of 12 inches, moisture-conditioned and compacted to at least 90%
relative compaction. Relative compaction should be determined in accordance with ASTM 0
1557-91. All references to relative compaction in this report are based on this test method.
Excavated soils to be replaced as fill should be moisture conditioned, placed in lifts 8 inches
in loose thickness, and compacted to at least 90% relative compaction.
The new fill along the drainage channel is to be supported by a retaining wall up to about 20
feet in height. This area currently is underlain by fill over colluvium. In order to support the
wall and new fill, a keyway should be constructed beneath the wall and toe of the fill area.
The keyway should be at least 20 feet wide at the base and extend at least 5 feet into
competent material. For planning purposes, a depth of .a feet into colluvium can be
considered. An SCS&T representative should observe excavation for the keyway and to
check that the bottom of the keyway extends into suitable materials.
Significant quantities of groundwater can be anticipated in excavating in this area. Sloping
the bottom to a sump and pumping from the sump will be necessary unless excavation
takes place in the dry season.
The bottom of the keyway should be sloped back toward the fill at a minimum gradient of
two percent. A subdrain should be placed along the back of the keyway. The subdrain
should consist of a four-inch minimum diameter perforated plastic pipe surrounded by at
least three cubic feet of gravel per foot of length. The gravel should be wrapped in a suitable
drainage fabric .
5.1.2 Compaction and Method of Filling
Fills should be placed slightly above optimum moisture content, in lifts six to eight inches
thick, with each lift compacted by mechanical means. Fills should consist of approved earth
material, free of trash or debris, roots, vegetation, expansive soils, or other materials
determined to be unsuitable by SCS& T's technicians or project geologist. Fill material
should be free of rocks or lumps of soil in excess of six inches in maximum dimension .
Utility trench backfill should be compacted to a minimum of 90% relative compaction. The
upper 12 inches of subgrade beneath paved areas should be compacted to at least 95%
relative compaction. This compaction should be performed by the paving contractor just
prior to placing the aggregate bas-e material and should not be part of the mass grading
requirements .

All grading and fill placement should be performed in accordance with the City of Carlsbad
grading ordinance, the Uniform Building Code, and the Recommended Grading
Specifications and Special Provisions attached hereto as Appendix B.
5.1.3 Surface Drainage
The drainage around the proposed buildings should be designed to collect and direct
surface water away from proposed structures and the tops of slopes toward approved
draining facilities. Rain gutters that discharge runoff away from the buildings are
recommended on the structures.
The ground around the proposed structures should be graded so that surface water flows
rapidly away from the structure without pending. In general, it is recommended that the
ground adjacent to structures slope away at a gradient of at least two percent. Densely
vegetated areas where runoff can be impaired should have a minimum gradient of at least
five percent within the first five feet from the structures.
The church should maintain drainage patterns approved at the time of fine grading
throughout the life of the proposed structures. The church should also limit site irrigation to
the minimum necessary to sustain landscape growth. Should excessive irrigation, impaired
drainage, or unusually high rainfall occ~r. saturated zones of perched groundwater
conditions may occur.
5.1.4 Temporary Excavations
Side slopes for excavations in fill and alluvial/colluvial soils extending to a maximum depth
of 4 feet should not be steeper than %:1 (horizontal:vertical). Deeper excavations should not
be sloped steeper than 1:1. Where excavations requiring steeper slopes will be made,
temporary excavation support such as shoring should be provided. SCS&T can provide
recommendations for lateral loads if excavation support is needed .
5.2 EARTHWORK
All earthwork and grading contemplated for site preparation should be accomplished in
accordance with the attached Recommended Grading Specifications and Special
Provisions. All special site preparation recommendations presented in the sections above
supersede those in the standard Recommended Grading Specifications .

5.3 FOUNDATIONS
5.3.1 General
June 7, 2001
-____ p~g~ !Q
Due to the variability of the existing fill and tolluvial deposits, excessive differential
settlements could occur if the planned meeting house is supported on shallow foundations
unless the compressible soils are removed and replaced as compacted fill in accordance
with the recommendations described above. Deep foundations consisting of driven piles or
'drilled, cast-in-place, concrete piers would be a suitable alternate system for foundation
support, and would result in minimal structure ·settlements.
5.3.2 Driven Piles
Precast, prestressed concrete piles driven to practical refusal in the Delmar Formation
underlying the existing fill and colluvial soils, will provide suitable support for the new
structure. The type and size of pile most appropriate for the new structure will depend on
structural loads and pile layout. Twelve-inch square precast, prestressed concrete piles
driven at least 3 feet into Delmar Formatio~ can be designed to support a design load of 45
tons. Practical refusal for piles driven with a hammer developing at least 45,000 foot-pounds
of energy per blow can be defined as at least 8 blows per inch for at least 3 inches of
driving. SCS&T should observe hammer and pile behavior during driving, and determine
when practical refusal has been encountered and driving can be halted.
5.3.3 Drilled, Cast-in-Place Concrete Piers
Drilled, cast-in-place concrete piers that extend at least 5 feet into Delmar Formation or the
Santiago Desk Volcanics can be des1gned for an allowable bearing pressure at the tip of 20
kips per square foot (ksf). This value can be increased with each additional foot of depth or
diameter up to a maximum of 30 ksf. Groundwater can be anticipated in the pier holes, and
caving also can occur. Consequently, the contractor should have suitable casing available
on-site during pier construction, or drilling fluids capable of maintaining an open hole should
be used. Concrete for the piers should be placed through a tremie pipe, and the level of
concrete maintained above the end of the pipe as the concrete is placed. A representative of
SCS& T should observe drilling for piers, evaluate the materials penetrated, and determine
when suitable bearing strata have been reached .
5.3.4 Settlement Characteristics (Deep Foundations)
The anticipated total and differential settlements for structures supported on deep
foundations are expected to be within tolerable limits. It should be recognized that minor
cracks normally occur in concrete slabs and foundations due to shrinkage during curing or
redistribution of stresses and some cracks may be anticipated. Such cracks are not
necessarily an indication of excessive vertical movements .

5.5 EARTH RETAINING WALLS
5.5.1 Foundations
June 7, 2001
PeJILe 12
Retaining walls should be supported on deep foundations constructed in accordance with
the recommendations above.
5.5.2 Passive Pressure
The passive pressure for the prevailing soil conditions may be considered to be 350 pounds
per square foot per foot of depth (PSF/ft). The coefficient of friction for concrete to soil may
be assumed to be 0.35 for the resistance to lateral movement. The upper 12 inches of soil
should not be considered when calculating passive pressures for exterior· walls, unless
pavements or slabs extend adjacent to the wall.
5.5.3 Active Pressure
The active soil pressure for the design of unrestrained earth retaining structures with level
backfields can be assumed to be 35 PSF/ft. For restrained walls a pressure of 50 PSF/ft
can be assumed. Wall friction should be neglected when computing loads on walls due to
the backfill. These pressures do not consider any other surcharge loads. If any are
anticipated, this office should be contacted for the necessary increase in soil pressure.
These values assumes a granular and drained backfill condition. Waterproofing
specifications and details should be provided by the project architect.
5.5.4 Waterproofing and Backdrain Observation
The geotechnical engineer should be requested to verify that waterproofing has been
applied and that the subdrain has been properly installed. However, unless specifically
asked to do so, SCS& Twill not verify proper application of the waterproofing.
5.5.5 Backfill
All backfill soils should be compacted to at least 90% relative compaction. Expansive or
clayey soils should not be used for backfill material. The wall should not be backfilled until
the masonry has reached an adequate strength.
5.5.6 Factor of Safety
The above values, with the exception of the allowable soil bearing pressure, do not include a
factor of safety. Appropriate factors of safety should be incorporated into the design to
prevent the walls from overturning and sliding.

The upper 6 inches of subgrade beneath the new pavement section should be scarified,
moisture conditioned to slightly above optimum moisture content, and compacted to at least
~ 95% relative compaction as determined by ASTM 0 1557-91.
Any soft, loose or disturbed soils should be removed and replaced with compacted fill. The
base material should be compacted to at least 95% relative compaction. All materials and
methods of construction should conform to good engineering practices and the minimum
standards of the County of San Diego.
6 : LIMITATIONS
The findings of this report are valid as of this date. Changes in the condition of a property can,
however, occur with the passage of time, whether they are due to natural processes or the work
of man on this or adjacent properties. In addition, changes in. the Standards-of-Practice and/or
Government Codes may occur. Due to such changes, the findings of this report may be
invalidated wholly or in part by changes beyond our control. Therefore, this report should not be
relied upon after a period of two years without a review by us verifying the suitability of the
conclusions and recommendations.
7 FIELD EXPLORATION
Eight test pits were excavated and 10 test borings were drilled in September and October 2000
to explore subsurface conditions. The fieldwork was conducted under the supervision of our
engineering geology personnel.
The test pits and borings were logged while they were in progress. The logs are presented on
Plate Numbers 4 through 26. The soils are described according to the Unified Soil Classification
System illustrated on Plate Number 3. In addition, a verbal textural description, the wet color,
the apparent moisture and the density or consistency are provided. The density of granular soils
is given as either very loose, loose, medium dense, dense or very dense. The consistency of
silts or clays is given as either very soft, soft, medium stiff, stiff, very stiff, or hard .
Disturbed and relatively undisturbed samples representative of the materials underlying the site
were obtained and returned to the laboratory for testing.
8 LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were performed in accordance with the generally accepted American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM) test methods or suggested procedures. A brief description of
the tests performed is presented below:

RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS-GENERAL PROVISIONS
GENERAL INTENT
. The intent of these specifications is to establish procedures for clearing, compacting natural
ground, preparing areas to be filled, and placing and compacting fill soils to the lines and grades
shown on the accepted plans. The recommendations contained in the accompanying report
and/or the attached Special provisions are a part of the Recommended Grading Specifications
and should supersede the provisions contained hereinafter in the case of conflict. These
specifications should only be used in conjunction with the geotechnical report for which they are
a part. No deviation from these specifications will be allowed, except where specified in the
geotechnical report or in other written communication signed by the Geotechnical Engineer.
OBSERVATION AND TESTING
Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc., shall be retained as the Geotechnical Engineer to
observe and test the earthwqrk in accordance with these specifications. It will be necessary that
the Geotechnical Engineer or his representative provide adequate observation so that he may
provide his opinion as to whether or not the work was accomplished as specified. It shall be the
responsibility of the contractor to assist the Geotechnical Engineer and to keep him appraised of
work schedules, .changes and new information and data so that he may provided these
opinions. In the event that any unusual conditions not covered by the special provisions or
preliminary geotechnical report are encountered during the grading operations. The
Geotechnical Engineer should be contacted for further recommendations.
If, in the opinion of the Geotechnical Engineer, substandard conditions are encountered, such
as questionable or unsuitable soil, unacceptable moisture content, inadequate compaction,
adverse weather, etc.; construction will be stopped until the conditions are remedied or
corrected or he shall recommend rejection of this work .
Tests used to determine the degree of compaction should be performed in accordance with the
following American Society for Testing and Materials test methods: .
• Maximum Density & Optimum Moisture Content -ASTM D 1557
• Density of Soil In-Place-ASTM D 1556 or ASTM D 2922
All densities shall be expressed in terms of Relative Compaction as determined by the foregoing
ASTM testing procedures .

other field problems arise, the Contractor will be notified that day of such conditions by written
communication from the Geotechnical Engineer or his representative in the form of a daily field
report.
If the method ·of achieving the required slope compaction selected by the Contractor fails to
produce the necessary results, the Contractor shall rework or rebuild such slopes until the
required degree of compaction is obtained, at no cost to the Owner or Geotechnical Engineer.
CUT SLOPES
The Engineering Geologist shall inspect cut slopes excavated in rock or lithified formational
material during the grading operations atintervals determined at his discretion. If any conditions
not anticipated in the preliminary report such as perched water, seepage, lenticular or confined
' strata of a potentially adverse n~ture, unfavorably inclined bedding, joints or fault planes are
encountered during grading, these conditions ~hall be analyzed by the Engineering Geologist
and Soil Engineer to determine if mitigating measures are necessary.
Unless otherwise specified in the geotechnical report, no cut slopes shall be excavated higher
or steeper than the allowed by the ordinances of the controlling governmental agency
ENGINEERING OBSERVATION
Field observation by the Geotechnical Engineer or his representative shall be made during the
filling and compaction operations so that he can express his opinion regarding the conformance
of the grading with acceptable standards of practice. Neither the presence of the Geotechnical
Engineer or his representative or the observation and testing shall not release the Grading
Contractor from his duty to compact all fill material to the specified degree of compaction.
SEASON LIMITS
Fill shall not be placed during unfavorable weather conditions. When work is interrupted by
heavy rain, filling operations shall not be resumed until the proper moisture content and density
of the fill materials can be achieved. Damaged site conditions resulting from weather or acts of
God shall be repaired before acceptance of work .
RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS-SPECIAL PROVISIONS
RELATIVE COMPACTION: The minimum degree of compaction to be obtained in compacted
natural ground, compacted fill, and compacted backfill shall be at least 90 percent. For street
and parking lot subgrade, the upper six inches should be compacted to at least 95 percent
relative compaction .
