UPDATED GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
LAKE CALAVERA HILLS VILLAGE G
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
INTRDDUCTIDN AND PROJECT DESCRIPTIOW
This report presents the results of our updated geotechnical investigation
for Lake Calavera Hills Village G, located in the City of Carlsbad, Calif-
ornia. The site location is shown on the vicinity map provided as Figure
1.
It is our understanding that the site will be developed by grading to
receive 45 multi-family residential structures. The two-story buildings
will be of wood-frame construction, shallow foundations and conventional
slab-on-grade floor systems. Grading will consist of cuts and fill on the
order of 26 feet and 50 feet, respectively. Cut and fill slopes will be
constructed at an inclination of 2:l (horizontal to vertical) or flatter.
The site configuration, approximate topography, and location of our subsur-
face explorations are shown on Plate Number 1 of this report.
SCOPE OF SERVICE
This investigation consisted of: surface reconnaissance; subsurface
exploration, including downhole inspections; obtaining representative

disturbed and undisturbed samples; laboratory testing; analysis of the
field and laboratory data; research of available geological literature
pertaining to the site; review of the referenced material, and preparation
of this report. Specifically, the intent of this analysis was to:
a) Explore the subsurface conditions to the depths influenced by the
proposed construction.
b) Evaluate, by laboratory tests, the pertinent engineering pro-
perties of the various strata which will influence the develop-
ment, including their bearing capacities, expansive characteris-
tics and settlement potential.
cl Develop soil engineering criteria for site grading and provide
design information regarding the stability of cut and fill
slopes. This will include design of buttresses and stabilizing
fills where required, and subsurface drain recommendations.
d) Recommend an appropriate foundation system for the type of struc-
tures and soil conditions anticipated and develop soil engineer-
ing design criteria for the recomnended foundation design.
RECOIIIEMIATIONS AMI COIICLUSIONS
GENERAL
No geotechnical conditions were encountered which would preclude the
development of the site as tentatively planned provided the recomnenda-
tions presented herein are implemented.
The majority of the subject site is underlain by an average of two feet of
highly expansive, compressible topsoils. Highly expansive alluvial depos-

its underlie the lpwer section of the canyon areas. The upper 2+ feet of
these deposits are considered compressible. These deposits are considered
unsuitable for the support of settlement sensitive improvements and will
require removal and recompaction wherever settlement sensitive improve-
ments are planned.
In addition to the highly expansive surficial deposits, random zones of
highly expansive soils exist within the Santiago Formation deposits. It
is our understanding that select grading will be performed. Therefore, no
special foundation consideration will be required.
Hard rock was encountered along the eastern property line. It is antici-
pated that blasting may be required for the construction of Tamarack
Avenue.
6RALUw6
SITE PREPARATIOII: Site preparation' should begin with the removal of all
deleterious matter and vegetation. Topsoils underlying areas to receive
fill and/or structural loads should be excavated to firm natural ground.
Firm natural ground is defined as soil having an in-place density of at
least 85% of maxiRum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM
Test Procedure D1557-78, Method A. The exposed natural ground should then
be scarified to a depth of 12 inches, moisture conditioned and recompacted
to at least 902 of its maximum dry density at a minimum moisture content
at or slightly above optimum. The overexcavated soils as well as on-site
fill material should then be placed in compacted layers until desired
elevations are reached.
SELECT 6RMlIll6: We recommend that highly expansive soils should not be
allowed within 2.5 feet of finished grade. Fill pads should be capped
with 2.5 feet of nondetrimentally expansive soils (less than 2% expan-
sion). Expansive soils within 2.5 feet of finished grade at cut lots

should be undercut and replaced with properly compacted, nonexpansive
soils. The horizontal extent of the above recomnendations should include
teh area within 5 feet beyond the perimeter of the structure. Within
parking and sstreet areas, select grading may be limited to a depth of one
foot of subgrade material. In addition, expansive soils should not be
placed within five feet from the face of any fill slopes.
RIPPABILITY: The results of our seismic survey and exploratory trenches
indicate that blasting may be required to obtain proposed cuts along
Tamarack Avenue. A sumnary of each seismic traverse is presented below
and in appendix A.
Seismic Traverse No. S-l
Geologic Unit: Hypabyssal Rock
Interpretation: Rippable velocities to a depth of five feet.
Marginally rippable to 30 t feet.
from 5' + to 30'+.
Seismic Traverse No. S-2
Geologic Unit: Hypabyssal Rock
Interpretation: Rippable velocities to a depth of eight feet.
Nonrippable velocities to 30 + feet. Blast-
ing will probably be required.
Related Trench: Trench Number 20
ROCK DISPOSAL: Oversized material generated during grading operations
which is greater than two feet in greatest dimension should either be
utilized in landscaping or placed in the major canyon fill or in the rock
disposal areas designated on Plate Number 2 and in accordance with the
recomnendations described in Plate Number 32.

UMlERCUTlIffi: In order to facilitate the excavation of utility trenches
in areas underlain by hard rock, it is suggested that hard rock in streets
be undercut to required depths and replaced with properly compacted fill.
EhRTlMRK: All earthwork and grading contemplated for site preparation
should be acconplished in accordance with the attached Recomnended Grading
Specifications and Special Provisions. All special site preparation
recommendations presented in the sections above will supersede those in
the standard Recommended Grading Specifications. All embankments, struc-
tural fill and fill should be compacted to a minimum of 90% at slightly
over optimum moisture content. Utility trench backfill within 5 feet of
the proposed structures and beneath asphalt pavements should be compacted
to a minimum of 90% of its maximum dry density. The maximum dry density
of each soil type should be determined in accordance with A.S.T.M. Test
Method 1557-78, Method A or C.
DRAINME
GENERAL : Adequate drainage provisions are imperative. Water should not
be allowed to collect adjacent to footings. The site should be graded and
maintained such that surface drainage is directed away from structures and
the top of slopes into swales or other controlled drainage devices.
SUBDRAINS: It is recommended that subdrains be placed along the bottom of
all canyon areas to receive more than 10 feet of fill. The subdrains
should be extended upward along the canyon bottom until overlain by a
minimum of 10 feet of fill. Subdrain details and locations are provided
in Plates Number I and 31.
SLOPE STABILITY MO STbBILIZATIUN
GEttERAL: According to our calculations the cut and fill slopes construc-
ted at inclinations of 2.0 horizontal to 1.0 vertical or flatter, will

possess factors of safety of at least 1.5 with respect to deep-seated
failure if limited to a maximum height of 28 feet and 50 feet, respec-
tively (see Plate Number 27). It is further our opinion that proposed cut
and fill slopes will possess factors of safety of at least 1.5 with re-
spect to surficial stability if constructed in accordance with the recom-
mendations of this report (see Plate Numbers 28 and 29). Highly expansive
fill soils should not be placed within five feet from the face of slopes.
For slopes higher than 20 feet the select material zone should be in-
creased as described in Plate Number 30. All cut and fill slopes should
be periodically inspected during grading operations by an engineering
geologist or soil engineer from this office to verify that soil conditions
encountered do not differ significantly from those assumed in our anal-
ysis.
BuTlEss: The soil/rock contact that exists along the slope west of
Tamarack Avenue will be exposed at or near the toe of the proposed cut
slope. We therefore present the following two alternative solutions.
Altemative I: The soils over the underlying rock could simply be
removed. This then would leave the rock exposed on the face of a
1.2:1 slope (horizontal to vertical). This would probably eliminate
the retaining walls behind units 49 and 50. 1;E. uJf3Lwa7 -ITits Sl.OPE - lT rr m SW~ ROCJI,~O~E LIKE A CtzmewTeO Sok V %CK
Alternative II: If it is desired that this slope be planted, then we
would recommend that a nonexpansive soil buttress would have to be
constructed. This would necessitate blasting of the rock and place-
ment of the buttress as shown on Plate Numbers 3, 4 and 5. It is
estimated that approximately 16,500 cubic yards of additonal rock
would be generated from this procedure. We also estimate that 22,000
cubic yards of select material would be required as additional but-
tress fill.

FOUWDATIONS
GENERAL: Conventional spread footings founded at least 12 and 18 inches
below lowest adjacent finished grade and both having minimum width of 12
inches are reconvsended for the support of one and two-story structures,
respectively. Such footings may be designed for an allowable soil bearing
pressure of 2000 psf. This bearing pressure may be increased by one-third
when considering wind and or seismic loading. A minimum setback of 5 feet
should be observed between structures and the top of adjacent slopes.
REINFORCEIERI: It is recommended that minimum reinforcement consist of
two continuous No. 4 reinforcing bars, one located near the top of the
footing and one near the bottom. This reinforcement is based on soil
characteristics and is not intended to be in lieu of reinforcement neces-
sary to satisfy structural considerations.
TRANSITION MEA.2 It is further recommended that footings spanning day-
light lines where the fill section exceeds four feet in thickness be
reinforced with at least four continuous No. 4 reinforcing bars, two
located near the top of the footing and two near the bottom extending 10
feet beyond each side of the transition.
SEllLECENT CHARACTERISTICS: The anticipated total and/or differential
settlements for the proposed structure may be considered to be within
tolerable limits provided the reconvnendations presented in this report are
followed.
EXPARSIVE POIERTIAL: Topsoils, alluvium and some of the formational
deposits were found to possess highly expansive characteristics. However,
it is our understanding that select grading will be performed during
grading operations. Therefore, the recommendations of this report assume
a nondetrimentally expansive soil condition.

-.
CUNCRETE SLABS-UN-RRADE: Concrete slabs-on-grade should have a minimum
thickness of 3.5 inches and be reinforced with 6"x6"-lO/lO welded wire
mesh throughout. Where moisture-sensitive floor coverings are planned,
the slabs should be underlain by a 4-inch layer of coarse sand or crushed
rock.
MAD1116 AMI FOUWDATIOll PLAN REVIEW: The soil engineer and engineering
geologist should review the final grading and foundation plans to verify
their compliance with this report.
EARTH RETAINIIIG STRUCTURES
-
GENERAL : It is our understanding that the retaining structures planned
for this project will be of masonry construction and that they will have a
maxirmm height on the order of 14 feet.
-
-
-
-.
-
-
BACKFILL : All backfill soils should be compacted to at least 90% relative
compaction. Expansive or clayey soils should not be used for backfill
material within a distance of five feet from the back of the wall. The
retaining structure should not be backfilled until the material in the
wall have reached an adequate strength.
ULTMTE PASSIVE PRESSURE: The passive pressure for prevailing soil
conditions may be considered to be 400 pounds per square foot per foot of
depth. This pressure may be increased one-third for seismic loading. The
coefficient of friction for concrete to soil may be assumed to be 0.43 for
the resistance to lateral movement. When combining frictional and passive
resistance, the latter should be reduced by one-third.
ULTIMATE ACTIVE PRESSURE: The ultimate active soil pressure for the
design of earth retaining structures with level backfills may be assumed
to be equivalent to the pressure of a fluid weighing 40 pounds per cubic
SOUTHERN CALIFDRNIA SOIL AND TESTIND. I N c

SCSAT 14143 April 26, 1983 Page 10
foot for walls free to yield at the top (unrestrained walls). For earth
retaining structures that are fixed at the top (restrained walls), an
ultimate equivalent fluid pressure of 55 pounds per cubic foot may be used
for a design parameter. These pressures do not consider any surcharge
loading (other than the sloping backfill). If any surcharge loadings are
anticipated this office should be contacted for the necessary change in
soil pressure.
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 of all earth
retaining structures to reduce the possibility of over turning and slid-
ing.
LIUITATIOWS
REVIEW, ORSERVATIOll AI(D TESTIWG
The reconvnendations presented in this report are contingent upon our
review of final plans and specifications. The soil engineer and engineer-
ing geologist should review and verify the compliance of the final grading
plan with this report and with Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code.
It is recommended that Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc., be re-
tained to provide continuous soil engineering services during the earth-
work operations. This is to observe compliance with the design concepts,
specifications or recommendations and to allow design changes in the event
that subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to start of
construction.
UWIFORnITY OF COl0ITIOHS
The recommendations and opinions expressed in this report reflect our best
estimate of the project requirements based on an evaluation of the subsur-

face soil conditions encountered at the subsurface exploration locations
and the assumption that the soil conditions do not deviate appreciably
from those encountered. It should be recognized that the performance of
the foundations and/or cut and fill slopes may be influenced by undis-
closed or unforeseen variations in the soil conditions that may occur in
the intermediate and unexplored areas. Any unusual conditions not covered
in this report that may be encountered during site development should be
brought to the attention of the soils engineer so that he may make modifi-
cations if necessary.
CHARGE IN SCOPE
This office should be advised of any changes in the project scope or
proposed site grading so that it may be determined if the recommendations
contained herein are appropriate. This should be verified in writing or
modified by a written addendum.
TI# LIUITATIORS
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 be due to natural processes or the work of man on this or
adjacent properties. In addition, changes in the State-of-the-Art 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 reconvnendations.
PROFESSIWAL STMMRD

to ensure that the information and recomnendations contained herein are
brought to the attention of the engineer and architect for the project and
incorporated into the project's plans and specifications. It is further
their responsibility to take the necessary measures to ensure that the
contractor and his subcontractors carry out such reconvnendations during
construction.
FIELD EXPLDRATIDMS
Twenty-seven subsurface explorations were made at the locations indicated
on the attached Plate Number 1 on March 10, 13 and 21 and April 25, 1983.
These explorations consisted of 25 trenches excavated otilizing a rubber-
tired backhoe equipped with a 24-inch bucket and 2 small diameter borings.
In addition, two seismic traverse lines were performed. The field work
was conducted under the observation of our engineering geology personnel.

The explorations were carefully logged when made. These logs are pre-
sented on the following Plate Numbers 8 through 23. The soils are des-
cribed in accordance with the Unified Soils Classification System as
illustrated on the attached simplified chart on Plate 7. In addition, a
verbal textural description, the wet color, the apparent moisture, and the
density or consistency are given on the logs. Soil densities for granular
soils was 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 undisturbed samples of typical and representative soils were
obtained and returned to the laboratory for testing.
LABORATORY TESTIll
Laboratory tests were performed in accordance with the generally accepted
American Society for Testing and Materials (A.S.T.M.) test methods or
suggested procedures. A brief description of the tests performed are
presented below:
a) MDISNRE-DERSITY: Field moisture content and dry density were
determined for representative undisturbed samples obtained. This
information was an aid to classification and permitted recogni-
tion of variations in material consistency with depth. The dry
unit weight is determined in pounds per cubic foot, and the field
moisture content is determined as a percentage of the soil's dry
weight. The results are sumnarized in the trench logs.
b) CLASSIFICATIOII: Field classifications were verified in the
laboratory by visual examination. The final soil ciassifications
are in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System.

cl GRAIN SIZE DISTRIBUTION: The grain size distribution was deter-
mined for representative samples of the native soils in accor-
dance with A.S.T.M. Standard Test D-422. The results of these
tests are presented on Plate Number 26.
d) PLASTICITY WEX: The Plasticity Index (PI) which is defined as
the liquid limit of a soil minus its plastic limit was determined
for certain representative cohesive samples. The liquid limits
and plastic limits were determined in accordance with A.S.T.M.
Test Method D433-66 and D424-59 respectively. The results of
these tests are presented on Plate Number 26.
e) DIRECT SHEAR TESTS: Direct shear tests were performed to deter-
mine the failure envelope based on yield shear strength. The
shear box was designed to accomodate a sample having a diameter
of 2.375 inches or 2.50 inches and a height of 1.0 inch. Samples
were tested at different vertical loads and at saturated moisture
content. The shear stress was applied at a constant rate of
strain of approximately 0.05 inches per minute. The results of
'these tests are presented on attached Plate Number 24.
f) COWACTION TEST: The maximum dry density and optimum moisture
content of typical soils were determined in the laboratory in
accordance with A.S.T.M. Standard Test D-1557-70, Method A. The
minimum density was also determined for each sample tested for
maximum density. The test was performed in accordance with
A.S.T.H. Test D-2409. The results of these tests are presented
on the following Plate Number 24.
e) EXPMSIBU TEST: The expansive potential of clayey soils was
determined in accordance with the following test procedure and
the results of these tests appear on Plate Number 25.

RIPPABILIYY STUDY
RIPPAMLITY IMRACTERISTICS OF HYPABYSSAL ROCKS
Rippable Condition (O-4,500 Ft./Set.): This velocity range indicates
rippable materials which may vary from decomposed metavolcanics at lower
velocities to only slightly decomposed, fractured rock at the higher
velocities. Although rippable, materials may be produced by excavation
that will not be useable in structural fills due to a lack of fines.
Experience has shown that material within the range of 4,000 to 4,500 fps
most often consists of severely to moderately fractured rock with little
or no fines and sizeable quantities of + I/4" material.
For velocities between 3,500 to 4,500 fps, rippability will be difficult
for backhoes and light trenching equipment.
Marginally Rippable Condition (4,500 - 5,500 Ft./Set.): Excavations in
this velocity range would be extremely time consuming and would produce
fractured rock with little or no fines. The higher velocities could
require blasting. Trenching equipment would not function.
Wonrippable Condition (5,500 Ft./Set. & Greater): This velocity range may
include moderately to slightly fractured rock which would require blasting
for removal. Material produced would consist of a high percentage of
oversize and angular rock.
Rippability of metavolcanics could be accomplished for higher velocities
using the Caterpillar D-9 with the #9 D Series Ripper. Due to the frac-
tured nature of the metavolcanics, ripping might be accomplished in as
high as 8,100 fps material.

D1 = Depth to base of first layer.

For mass grading, materials with velocities of less than 4500 fps are
generally rippable with a D-9 Caterpillar Dozer equipped with hydraulic
rippers. Velocities of 4500 to 5500 fps indicate marginal ripping and
blasting. Velocities greater than 5500 fps generally require preblasting.
The reported velocities represent average velocities over the length of
each traverse and should not generally be used for subsurface interpre-
tation greater than 100 feet from a traverse.
For trenching, materials with velocities less than 4000 fps are generally
rippable. depending on the degree of fracturing and the presence or ab-
sence of boulders. Velocities between 4000 amd 4500 fps generally indi-
cate marginal ripping, and velocities greater than 4500 fps generally
indicate nonrippable conditions.
SEISMIC TRAVERSE LIUITATIONS
The results of the seismic survey for this investigation reflect rippabil-
ity conditions only for the areas of the traverses. However, the condi-

tions of the various soil-rock units appear to be similar for the remain-
der of the site and may be assumed to possess similar characteristics.
The seismic refraction method requires that materials become increasingly
dense with depth. In areas where denser, higher velocity materials are
underlain by lower velocity materials, the lower velocity materials would
not be indicated by our survey.
All of the velocities used as upper limits are subject to fluctuation
depending upon such local variations in rock conditions as:
a) Fractures, Faults and Planes of Weakness of Any Kind
b) Weathering and Degree of Decomposition
cl Brittleness and Crystalline Nature
d) Grain Size -
Further, the range of rippability using Caterpillar equipment may be
increased using heavier equipment. However, it should be noted that
ripping of higher velocity materials may become totally dependent on the
time available and the economics of the project. Ripping of higher veloc-
ity materials can be achieved but it may become economically infeasible.

RECOMENDED GRADIffi SPECIFICATIONS - GENERAL PROVISIONS
GENERAL INTENT
The intent of these specifications is to establish procedures for clear-
ing, 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 preliminary soil investiga-
tion report and/or the attached Special Provisions are a part of the
Recorrmended Grading Specifications and shall supersede the provisions
contained hereinafter in the case of conflict. These specifications shall
only be used in conjunction with the soil report for which they are a
part. No deviation from these specifications will be allowed, except
where specified in the soil report or in other written communication
signed by the Soil Engineer.
OBSERVATION ANO TESTIffi
Southern California Soil I Testing, Inc. shall be retained as the Soil
Engineer to observe and test the earthwork in accordance with these speci-
fications. It will be necessary that the Soil Engineer or his representa-
tive provide adequate observation so that he may provide an opinion that
the work was or was not accomplished as specified. It shall be the re-
sponsibility of the contractor to assist the soil engineer and to keep him
apprised of work schedules, changes and new information and data so that
he may provide these opinions. In the event that any unusual conditions
not covered by the special provisions or preliminary soil report are
encountered during the grading operations, the Soil Engineer shall be
contacted for further recommendations.
SCSET 14143 April 26, 1983 Appendix B, Page 2
-
-~
-
If, in the opinion of the Soil Engineer, substandard conditions are en-
countered, such as; questionable or unsuitable soil, unacceptable moisture
content, inadequate compaction, adverse weather, etc., he will be empower-
ed to either stop construction until the conditions are remedied or cor-
rected or recommend rejection of this work.
Test methods used to determine the degree of compaction should be per-
formed in accordance with the following American Society for Testing and
Materials test methods:
Maximum Density d Optimum Moisture Content - A.S.T.M. D-1557-78.
Density of Soil In-Place - A.S.T.M. D-1556-64 or A.S.T.M. O-2922.
All densities shall be expressed in terms of Relative Cagaction as deter-
mined by the foregoing A.S.T.M. testing procedures.
PREPARATIOR OF AREAS TO RECEIVE FILL -
All vegetation, brush and debris derived from clearing operations shall be
removed, and legally disposed of. All areas disturbed by site grading
should be left in a neat and finished apperance, free from unsightly
debris.
.-
-
Any abandoned buried structures encountered during grading operations rmst
be totally removed. All underground utilities to be abandoned beneath any
proposed structure should be removed from within 10 feet of the structure
and properly capped off. The resulting depressions from the above des-
cribed procedures should be backfilled with acceptable soil that is com-
pacted to the requirements of the Soil Engineer. This includes, but is
not limited to, septic tanks, fuel tanks, sewer lines or leach lines,
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 501L AND TLSTING. INC

storm drains and water lines. Any buried structures or utilities not'to
be abandoned should be investigated by the Soil Engineer to determine if
any special recomendation will be necessary.
All water wells which will be abandoned should be backfilled and capped in
accordance to the requirements set forth in the Geotechnical Report. The
top of the cap should be at least 4 feet below finish grade or 3 feet
below the bottom of footing whichever is greater. The type of cap will
depend on the diameter of the well and should be determined by the Soil
Engineer and/or a qualifies Structural Engineer.
When the slope of the natural ground receiving fill exceeds 20% (5 hori-
zontal units to 1 vertical unit). the original ground shall be stepped or
benched. Benches shall be cut to a firm competent soil condition. The
lower bench shall be at least 10 feet wide or 1 l/2 times the equipment
width which ever is greater and shall be sloped back into the hillside at
a gradient of not less than two (2) percent. All other benches should be
at least 6 feet wide. The horizontal portion of each bench shall be
compacted prior to receiving fill as specified hereinbefore for compacted
natural ground. Ground slopes flatter than 20% shall be benched when
considered necessary by the Soil Engineer.
After clearing or benching, the natural ground in areas to be filled shall
be scarified to a depth of 6 inches, brought to the proper moisture con-
tent, compacted and tested for the minimum degree of compaction in the
Special Provisions or the recommendation contained in the preliminary soil
investigation report. All loose soils in excess of 6 inches thick should
be removed to firm natural ground which is defined as natural soil which
possesses an in-situ density of at least 85% of its maximum dry density.

FILL MATERIAL
-
-
.-
Materials placed in the fill shall be approved by the soil engineer and
shall be free of vegetable matter and other deleterious substances. Gran-
ular soil shall contain sufficient fine material to fill the voids. The
definition and disposition of oversized rocks, expansive and/or detrimen-
tal soils are covered in the soils report or Special Provisions. Expan-
sive soils, soils of poor gradation, or soils with low strength character-
istics may be thoroughly mixed with other soils to provide satisfactory
fill material, but only with the explicit consent of the soil engineer.
Any import material shall be approved by the Soil Engineer before being
brought to the site.
-
PLACIffi AN0 CON’ACTION OF FILL
Approved fill material shall be placed in areas prepared to receive fill
in layers not to exceed 6 inches in compacted thickness. Each layer shall
have a uniform moisture content in the range that will allow the compac-
tion effort to be efficiently applied to achieve the specified degree of
compaction. Each layer shall be uniformly compacted to the minimum speci-
fied degree of compaction with equipment of adequate size to economically
compact the layer. Compaction equipment should either be specifically
designed for soil compaction or of proven reliability. The minimum degree
of compaction to be achieved is specified in either the Special Provisions
or the reconanendations contained in the preliminary soil investigation
.- report.
When the structural fill material includes rocks, no rocks will be allowed
to nest and all voids must be carefully filled with soil such that the
minimum degree of compaction recomnended in the Special Provisions is

achieved. The maximum size and spacing of rock permitted in structural
fills and in non-structural fills is discussed in the soil report, when
applicable.
Field observation and compaction tests to estimate the degree of compac-
tion of the fill will be taken by the Soil Engineer or his representative.
The location and frequency of the tests shall be at the Soil Engineer's
discretion. When the compaction test indicates that a particular layer is
less than the required degree of compaction, the layer shall be reworked
to the satisfaction of the Soil Engineer and until the desired relative
compaction has been obtained.
Fill slopes shall be compacted by means of sheepsfoot rollers or other
suitable equipment. Compaction by sheepsfoot rollers shall be at vertical
intervals of not greater than four feet. In addition, fill slopes at
ratios of two horizontal to one vertical or flatter, should be track-
rolled. Steeper fill slopes shall be over-built and cut-back to finish
contours. Slope compaction operations shall result in all fill material
six or more inches inward from the finished face of the slope having a
relative compaction of at least 90% of maximum dry density or that speci-
fied in the Special Provisions section of this specification. The compac-
tion operation on the slopes shall be continued until the Soil Engineer is
satisfied that the slopes will be stable in regards to surficial stabil-
ity.
Slope tests will be made by the Soils Engineer during construction of the
slopes to determine if the required compaction is being achieved. Where
failing tests occur or other field problems arise, the Contractor will be
notified that day of such conditions by written communication from the
Soil Engineer in the form of a daily field report.

SCS&T 14143 April 26, 1983 Appendix B, Page 6
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 additional cost to the Owner or Soils Engineer.
CUT SLOPES
The Engineering Geologist shall inspect all cut slopes excavated in rock
or lithified formational material during the grading operations at inter-
vals 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 nature, unfavorably inclined
bedding, joints or fault planes are encountered during grading, these
conditions shall be analyzed by the Engineering Geologist and Soil Engi-
neer to determine if mitigating measures are necessary.
Unless otherwise specified in the soil and geological report, no cut
slopes shall be excavated higher or steeper than that allowed by the
ordinances of the controlling governmental agency.
EIIGIREERIRB OBSERVATM
Field observation by the Soil Engineer or his representative shall be made
during the filling and compacting operations so that he can express his
opinion regarding the conformance of the grading with acceptable standards
of practice. The presence of the Soil 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 compac-
tion.

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.
RECOCUENDED GRADIIYG SPECIFICATIONS-SPECIAL PROVISIONS
The minimum degree of compaction to be obtained in compacting natural
ground, in the compacted fill, and in the compacted backfill shall be at
least 90 percent.
Detrimentally expansive soil is defined as soil which will swell more than
3 percent against a pressure of 150 pounds per square foot from a condi-
tion of 90 percent of maximum dry density and air dried moisture content
to saturation.
Oversized fill material is defined as rocks or lumps over 6 inches in
diameter. At least 40 percent of the fill soils shall pass through a No.
4 U.S. Standard Sieve.
Transition Lots: Where transitions between cut and fill occur within the
proposed building pad, the cut portion should be undercut a minimum of one
foot below the base of the proposed footings and recompacted as structural
backfill.
