Project Description and Location
The Calavera Hills Park Site encompasses approximately 14 acres of land located
southeast of the intersection of Tamarack Avenue and Elm Avenue (see Site
Location Map, Figure 1). The site is bounded to the north by Elm Avenue, on the
east by Glasgow Drive, on the west by Tamarack Avenue, and on the south by the
"Colony at Calavera Hills, Village B" residential subdivision (Map No. 9935).
Proposed development at the site includes a community center/park site, City of
Carlsbad fire station, roadways, parking areas, ball fields, and recreational
areas.
Summary of Park Site Rough and Postgrading Operations
Rough and postgrading operations at the site were conducted by William J.
Kirchnavy, Inc. between March and September 1987. Grading and trench backfill
observation (of sewer and storm drain) and field density testing were performed
by representatives of our firm who were on site full time during rough grading
operations and part time, on call, during post-grading operations. Geologic
mapping of cut slopes, fill slope keys, compressible soil removals, and other
onsite excavations were performed, as necessary, by geologists from our firm.
The project grading plans entitled "Grading Plans for Calavera Park Site (CUP-
266)," Project No. PE 2.86.16, Drawing No. 269-6, dated September 25. 1986,
approved December 2, 1986, by Rick Engineering Company, Sheets SE-3. SE-4, and
PL-2 were utilized as base maps to present the approximate locations of field
density tests (Plates 1 through 3) and as-graded geotechnical conditions
(Plates 4 and 5). Specific operations during grading are discussed below.
a Site Preparation and Removal of Compressible Soils
Prior to grading, excessive vegetation and debris in areas of proposed
structural fill and/or improvements were stripped and removed from the subject
site. In general, potentially compressible fill soils, debris, and residual
topsoils within areas of planned grading were removed to competent formational
material in accordance with the recommendations outlined in our geotechnical
reports (Appendix A, References 11 and 14). prior to subdrain installation and
fill placement.
A geotechnical report was issued on November 24, 1986 pertaining to existing
undocumented fill that had been placed in the northern portion of the site
along the southern edge of Elm Avenue. This undocumented fill was reportedly
associated with the grading and construction of Elm Avenue along the northern
subject property boundary (Appendix A, Reference 14). As discussed in
Reference 14, the existing undocumented fill on the site is not considered
suitable for structural support in its present condition. Therefore, the
undocumented fill was removed to competent formational soils and replaced with
properly compacted fill in the area beneath the proposed fire station building
pad, in accordance with our recommendations outlined in Reference 14.

In general, areas receiving fill were scarified, brought to near-optimum
moisture content, and compacted to a minimum relative compaction of at least
90 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density determined by ASTM Test
Method D1557-78. Compaction and mixing of fill materials were accomplished
with heavy construction equipment. In general, fill keys were excavated at
the toe and the fill-over-cut catch point for proposed fill slopes in accord-
ance with our recommendations (Appendix A, Reference 11). Benching into firm
bedrock was performed as fill was placed.
l Fill Placement
Native onsite materials and import soils were used as compacted fill and trench backfill. Soils were generally spread in loose, 6- to 8-inch lifts, moisture-conditioned as needed to attain near-optimum moisture content, and
compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent in accordance with
ASTM Test Method D1557-78. Aggregate base material placed for the
southernmost parking area in Phase I (Plate 3) was compacted to a minimum
relative compaction of at least 95 percent as determined by ASTM Test Method
D1557-78.
Fill slope faces were compacted by backrolling with a sheepsfoot roller
generally at 3- to 4-foot intervals of slope height. Slope finishing was
achieved by trimming and/or trackwalking of the slope face.
During rough grading, a 2:l (horizontal to vertical) fill slope was con-
structed along the southern edge of Elm Avenue (see Plate 4) overlying the
existing undocumented fill. Due to the depth of undocumented fill, it was not
possible to excavate a fill slope key into formational soils. The approximate
location and elevation of the fill slope key is presented on Plate 4. As
discussed in Reference 14, this fill slope is considered to be grossly stable.
a Field and Laboratory Testing
Density tests were performed using the sand-cone method (ASTM Test Method
D1556-82). drive cylinder method (ASTM Test Method D2937-83). and nuclear
gauge method (ASTM Test Method D2922-81). The approximate density test
locations are shown on Plates 1 through 3 (in pocket). The results of the
field density tests are summarized in Appendix B. As indicated in Appendix B,
areas in which field density tests were less than 90 percent relative compac-
tion were recompacted and retested until the minimum 90 percent relative
compaction was achieved. It should be noted, however, that the inherent
precision of the field density and laboratory testing is such that some minor
variance from 90 percent relative compaction (or 95 percent relative compac-
tion in base material) may be anticipated.
Representative soil samples were tested for maximum density and expansion
index as determined by ASTM Test Method D1557-78 and UBC 29-2, respectively.
The laboratory test results are presented in Appendix C. However, in accord-
ance with a request from the City of Carlsbad, representative expansion index
tests were not performed on the building pad finish grade soils. Based on our
visual evaluation of the finish grade soils beneath the proposed fire station
and the community center, the expansion index of these soils may vary from low
to medium.

a Graded Slopes
Cut, fill, and fill-over-cut slopes were constructed during rough grading of
the park site in general accordance with our recommendations (Appendix A,
Reference 11) and the requirements of the City of Carlsbad. Review of the
project grading plans (Appendix A, Map 1) indicates that the graded slopes
were constructed at inclinations of 2:l (horizontal to vertical) or flatter.
Based on geologic mapping during rough grading, cut slopes and cut portions of
fill-over-cut slopes did not appear to expose any adverse geologic conditions.
The graded slopes appear to have an adequate factor of safety against deep-
seated failure.
l Subdrains
In order to reduce the potential for rising ground water, a trench-type
subdrain consisting of approximately 9 cubic feet per linear foot of granular
material surrounding 6-inch perforated pipe was installed in accordance with
our recommendations (Appendix A, Reference 11). The approximate location of
the subdrain installed is shown on Plate 4 (in pocket).
o Parking Area and Structural Pavement Section
A minimum structural pavement section consisting of 3-inch asphaltic concrete
(A.C.) over 4-inch aggregate base was placed for the parking area located in
the northeastern portion of the site (Plate 3) in accordance with our report
(Appendix A, Reference 5). The aggregate base material was compacted to a
minimum relative compaction of at least 95 percent of the laboratory maximum
dry density based on field density tests as determined by ASTM Test Method
D1557-78, within the limits of the pavement section. Asphaltic concrete
placement was observed and tested by a representative from our firm. The
asphaltic concrete was compacted to a minimum relative compaction of
95 percent based on the theoretical maximum density provided by the source
plant. The results are presented in Appendix B and approximate test locations
are indicated on Plate 3.

Engineering Geology
The geologic units encountered during site grading are generally similar to those
described in the project preliminary geotechnical report (Appendix A,
Reference 11). The approximate limits of the geologic units mapped during rough grading are shown on Plates 4 and 5 and are described below:
a Documented, Compacted Fill Soils (Map Symbol - Af)
Structural fill soils were placed and compacted during project grading and
predominantly consist of brown to red-brown, clayey, residual topsoils and
imported olive-gray to gray. silty sands. The potentially expansive residual
topsoils were placed as fill a minimum of 3 feet below proposed building pad
areas or properly mixed with nonexpansive material to achieve a lower expan-
sive potential. Where these topsoils were observed in place at proposed
finish grade of building pad areas, they were removed (i.e. undercut) and
replaced with properly compacted fill. Compacted fill soils were also placed
overlying existing undocumented fill in the northern portion of the site and
as such are designated as a nonstructural area (Plates 4 and 5).
a Nonstructural Fill (Map Symbol - Afn)
Fill designated as nonstructural exists in the northern portion of the site.
This nonstructural fill is not considered suitable for support of structural
improvements (Appendix A, Reference 14). These materials are subdivided into
two groups: (1) existing undocumented fill and (2) rock fill placed during
grading. These materials are discussed below:
- Existing Undocumented Fill (Map Symbol - Afo)
Undocumented fill not removed during the subject grading remains in the
northern portion of the site. The undocumented fill predominantly consists
of a rock fill with subangular cobbles and boulders typically ranging in
size from 6 to 14 inches in diameter, within a loose to medium dense, clayey
sand matrix. In addition, undocumented fill was observed overlying metavol-
canic rock along the lower to midheight portion of the cut slope in the
northeastern part of the site. This fill appears to be associated with
previous grading performed during construction of Glasgow Drive.
- Rock Fill (Map Symbol -Afr)
During grading, onsite excavations in the metavolcanic bedrock generated
significant amounts of oversize rock. This rock was placed under our
observation in a portion of the site overlying the existing undocumented
fill to within 3 feet of rough finish grade. Rocks disposed of generally
ranged between 6 to 24 inches, and as large as 3 feet in diameter. Due to
the possibility of void spaces created by nested rocks, fill settlement
should be anticipated in the area where rock fill has been placed (Plate 4).
Therefore, the rock fill is considered to be part of a nonstructural area.
Please refer to the recommendations provided herein for possible mitigative
measures relative to this area.

l Topsoil (Unmapped Unit)
The onsite residual topsoils were generally found to consist of orange to
orange-brown to red-brown to brown-gray to brown, medium dense, clayey sand.
Based on laboratory testing (Appendix B), these topsoils have a very high
expansive potential.
l Alluvium (Map Symbol - pal)
Alluvial soils encountered during our preliminary geotechnical investigation
(Appendix A, Reference 11) remain in the west-trending canyon that parallels
the southern property boundary. As discussed in Reference 11 these soils
consist of green-brown, silty sands and sandy silts with a significant
potential for consolidation. No grading was performed in this portion of the
site during rough grading operations. Therefore, no removals of the alluvium
were performed.
a Debris Fill (Unmapped Unit)
Portions of the site underlain by debris fill consisting of various amounts of
different soils, construction debris, vegetation, and trash were removed from
the site in accordance with the recommendations outlined in Reference 11
(Appendix A).
o Pre-Cretaceous Metavolcanics (Map Symbol - pkml
The entire site is underlain by pre-Cretaceous metavolcanic rock. The
metavolcanic rock consists of metamorphosed volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks
of variable composition and color. The metavolcanic rock was noted to be
generally highly fractured and jointed. Joints predominantly trend
northwesterly to northeasterly and are typically highly inclined. More
specifically, jointing was measured as ranging from N40"W to N80"W and N35'E
to N80"E. and was generally steeply dipping. Joint planes typically were
stained by black manganese oxide and red-brown iron oxide deposits.
Representative joint attitudes are shown on Plates 4 and 5.
o Faulting and Seismicity
No evidence of faulting (inactive or active) was observed within the subject
site during site grading, nor were any anticipated. The subject site can be
considered to be in a seismically active region, as can all of southern
California. There are, however, no known or observed active faults on or
adjacent to the subject site. A more in-depth discussion with regard to
faulting, seismicity, and liquefaction potential relative to the subject
property is contained in our preliminary geotechnical report (Appendix A,
Reference 11).

CO'CLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusions
Geotechnical conditions encountered during rough and post-grading of the Calavera
Hills Community Park site have been evaluated and were generally as anticipated.
It is our opinion that the subject site is suitable for its intended recreational
use, provided the recommendations of this report are incorporated into the fine
grading, design, and construction of the site. The following is a general
summary of our conclusions regarding grading of the subject site.
l The geotechnical properties of the onsite soils encountered during rough
grading were generally as anticipated.
l Removal areas and fill key excavations were geologically mapped prior to fill
placement.
o Nonstructural fill associated with the construction of Elm Avenue exists in
the western portion of the site (as depicted on Plate 4). These materials are not considered suitable for support of structures in their present state.
o Rock fill was placed on existing undocumented fill during grading operations
and therefore is considered part of a nonstructural area. Fill settlement can
be anticipated in this area.
l In structural fill areas, unsuitable soils were removed to competent material
and replaced with compacted fill soils.
l Graded slopes are considered grossly and surficially stable. Graded slopes
may be subject to erosion until vegetation is established.
m Groundwater or seepage was not observed or encountered during rough grading.
l No evidence of faulting was observed during rough grading within the subject site.
o Based on our observations and field and laboratory test results. it is our
opinion that compacted fill soils associated with structural fill areas and
trench backfill were compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction
(based on ASTM Test Method D1557-78).
l Based on field and laboratory test results, that the aggregate base material
placed for the subject site parking areas has been compacted to at least 95
percent relative compaction (ASTM Test Method D1557-78). Asphaltic concrete
placed within the subject parking area has been compacted to a minimum
relative compaction of at least 95 percent of the theoretical maximum density
furnished by the source or batch plant (Sim J. Harris, Inc.).

Recommendations
l Foundation and Slab Design Considerations
Foundation and slabs should be designed in accordance with structural con-
siderations and the following recommendations. These recommendations assume
the fill soils underlying subject building pads have a medium potential (based
on visual observation) for expansion.
- Foundations
The proposed buildings may be supported on continuous footings founded in dense, natural, or properly compacted fill soils at a minimum depth of
18 inches beneath lowest adjacent finish grade. At this depth, footings may
be designed for an allowable soil-bearing value of 2,500 psf. This value
may be increased by one-third for loads of short duration such as wind or
seismic forces. Continuous footings should have a minimum width of
15 inches and be reinforced with a minimum of two No. 4 rebars, one top and
one bottom. We recommend a minimum width of 24 inches for isolated spread
footings.
Approximate field measurements made during rough grading operations indicate
that the depth of fill beneath the Community Center pad ranges from ap-
proximately 1 to 3 feet. Therefore, in order to help mitigate a daylight
condition beneath the slab, we recommend the entire foundation be extended
to dense metavolcanic bedrock, This will locally require foundation
excavations deeper than the minimum 18 inches recommended above.
We recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance from the face of slopes
for all structural footings and settlement-sensitive structures. This
distance is measured from the outside edge of the footing, horizontally to
the slope face (or to the face of a retaining wall) and should be a minimum
of H/2, where H is the slope height (in feet). The setback should not be
less than 5 feet and need not be greater than 10 feet. We should note that
the soils within the structural setback area possess poor lateral stability,
and improvements (such as retaining walls, pools, sidewalks, fences,
pavements, etc.) constructed within this setback area may be subject to
lateral movement and/or differential settlement.
In order to help mitigate the potential for misalignment of proposed door
openings, we recommend a grade beam or footing be extended across the
openings. This grade beam should be designed in accordance with the
structural engineer's requirements and have a minimum reinforcement of two
No. 4 rebars (one top and bottom).
Footings founded in natural soils or compacted fill may be designed for a
passive lateral bearing pressure of 300 pounds per square foot per foot of
depth. A coefficient of friction against sliding between concrete and soils
of 0.35 may be assumed. These values may be increased by one-third when
considering loads of short duration , including wind or seismic loads. The
total lateral resistance may be taken as the sum of the frictional and
passive resistances provided the passive portion does not exceed two-thirds
of the total resistance.

- Floor Slabs
Floor slabs should be at least 4 inches in thickness and be provided with a
minimum reinforcement of 6x6-6/6 wire mesh. Care should be taken by the
contractor to insure that the wire mesh is placed at slab midheight. Slabs
should be underlain by a 2-inch layer of clean sand over a 6-mil Visqueen moisture barrier. In order to help mitigate perforation and the accumula-
tion of moisture beneath the slab, we recommend that a 4-inch layer of clean sand be placed beneath the Visqueen. In addition. we recommend control
joints be provided completely across the slabs at intervals not exceeding 15 feet.
The potential for slab cracking may be reduced by careful control of
water/cement ratios. The contractor should take appropriate curing precau-
tions during the pouring of concrete in hot weather to minimize cracking of
slabs. We recommend that a slipsheet (or equivalent) be utilized if grouted
tile, marble tile, or other crack-sensitive floor covering is planned
directly on concrete slabs. All slabs should be designed in accordance with
structural considerations.
Prior to the pouring of the floor slabs, the upper 18 inches of subgrade
soils should be moistened to at least 5 percent above optimum moisture
content as determined by ASTM Test Method D1557-78. In order to help
facilitate moisture penetration, the contractor may elect to construct the
foundations prior to the pouring of the slabs to help retain water on the
slab subgrade soils.
e Nonstructural Fill Areas
We recommend the geotechnical consultant review any plans for development in
the designated nonstructural fill areas known to exist at the subject site to
provide appropriate recommendations should this area be considered for
development as a structural area. Mitigative measures such as removal and
recompaction of the underlying undocumented fill and removal of the overlying
rock fill will likely be necessary prior to development in this area.
l Subdrain Outlet
The subdrain outlet should be cleared of soil cover or other potential
blockage which may have occurred since initial subdrain construction. It is
recommended that appropriate measures be taken to maintain and prevent
potential future blockage of the subdrain. The approximate location of the
subdrain outlet is shown on Plate 4.
o Oversteepening of Existing Slopes
Oversteepening of existing slopes should be avoided during fine grading and
construction phases unless supported by appropriately designed retaining
structures. Retaining structures should be designed with structural con-
siderations and appropriate soil parameters provided by the geotechnical engineer.

8850373-08
l Slope Maintenance
Installation and proper maintenance of drainage devices, early slope planting,
control of slope irrigation, and regular maintenance of plant cover should
help minimize the potential for erosion or gullying and the effective depth of
seasonal moisture change. A qualified landscape architect should be consulted
for specific planting recommendations. Prolonged drying and wetting of the
slopes should be avoided.
l Surface Drainage and Lot Maintenance
Positive drainage of surface water away from structures is very important. NO
water should be allowed to pond adjacent to the buildings. Positive drainage
may be accomplished by providing drainage away from the buildings at a
gradient of at least 2 percent for a distance of at least 5 feet away from the
building, and further maintained by a swale or drainage path at a gradient of
at least 1 percent. Where necessary, drainage paths may be shortened by use
of area drains and collector pipes. We suggest the installation of eave
gutters and downspouts on the buildings, which will help facilitate roof
runoff away from the foundation. The discharged water from the downspouts
should be directed away from the buildings to an appropriate noncorrosive
outlet.
Planters with open bottoms adjacent to the buildings should be avoided if
possible. Planting areas at grade should be provided with adequate positive
drainage directed away from the building. Planters should not be designed
below grade unless provisions for drainage such as catch basins and pipe
drains are made.
Drainage away from the slopes should be maintained at all times such that
water does not drain over the top of the slopes. The need for and design of
drainage devices on the site is within the purview of the design civil
engineer.
l Construction Observation and Testing
Construction observation and testing should be performed by the geotechnical
consultant during future excavations and foundation or retaining wall con-
struction at the site. Additionally, footing excavations should be observed
by the geotechnical consultant prior to the placement of steel reinforcement
and the pouring of concrete. Prior to construction of future structural
improvements, improvement plans should be reviewed and evaluated for ap-
propriate design recommendations.
