SUPPLEMENTAL GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
Purpose and Scope
This report presents the results of a supplemental geotechnical investiga-
tion within the eastern corner of the Stagecoach Park project and within a
limited area of the City of Carlsbad Tract No. 75-9 adjacent to the east
(see Site Plan, Figure 1). It is our understanding that Eberhard and
Stone, Incorporated identified a landslide during excavation of a cut slope
easterly of Mision Estancia within Tract No. 75-9. Subsequent test borings
by Eberhard and Stone, Incorporated indicated a deep-seated landslide
extending from Tract No. 75-9 below Mision Estancia and emerging within the
estern portion of Stagecoach Park and the property northerly of the Park.
The landslide proposed by Eberhart and Stone, Incorporated has approximate
dimensions of 700 feet in length, 600 feet in width and maximum depths in
excess of 50 feet. The purpose of our supplemental investigation was to
evaluate the presence of the landslide and to provide recommendations for
mitigation of the landslide potential, if present.
The subsurface exploration consisted of drilling five large-diameter
borings. Previous geotechnical studies performed for the project were
reviewed. Geologic cross-sections and maps prepared by Eberhart and Stone,
Incorporated presenting some of the information gained during their recent
subsurface investigation were also reviewed. The enclosed Figures 1 and 2
are copies of the Grading Plan and Geologic Cross-Section provided by

Eberhart and Stone, Incorporated. Stereoscopic aerial photographs dated
March, 1953 and topographic maps were also analyzed to aid in the
preparation of this report. A more detailed description of the procedures
and methods utilized during the field investigation is presented in
Appendix A. The conclusions and recommendations that follow are hased on
an analysis of the data obtained and our experience with similar soil and
geologic conditions.
Site and Project Description
At the time of this subsurface exploration, grading on the subject
Stagecoach Park project site was essentially completed. The grading
resulted in creating several large pads and some cut and fill slopes. One
of the cut slopes extends down from Mision Estancia to the Park site in the
subject investigated area. Mision Estancia, which represents a future
four-lane traffic artery, was under construction at the top of the cut
slope. Some fill soils found in the test borings were associated with the
Mision Estancia Road easement. On the adjacent Carlsbad Tract No. 75-9,
grading was in progress during this supplemental subsurface investigation.
Soil and Geologic Conditions
As indicated by the exploratory borings, the investigated area is underlain
by the Jurassic Santiago Peak Volcanics, the Eocene Delmar Formation
landslide debris and fill. Each of these is described below.

Santiago Peak Volcanics. Very hard, angular, metavoloanic rock
fragments were encountered in Boring Nos. 2 and 3. It is probable that
these fragments are not part of a massive Santiago Peak Volcanics
occurrence and, more likely, they were incorporated in the Delmar Formation
during the deposition of its basal sequence. Due to its depth below finish
grades at this location, the Santiago Peak Volcanics appear to be of no
significance to the future development.
Delmar Formation. The Delmar Formation in the investigated area
consists of a sequence of claystones, siltstones and sandstones. As
previously indicated, a breccia-like facies also occurs along the contact
with the underlying Santiago Peak Volcanics. The claystone beds within the
Delmar Formation are typically characterized by low shear strength and a
high degree of fracturing. Numerous randomly oriented shear zones are also
very common within the clayey portions of the Delmar Formation. Unlike the
claystone beds, the siltstone, and particularly the sandstone beds of this
geologic unit, exhibit good geotechnical characteristics.
Within the upper approximately 30 feet of Boring No. 1, numerous minor
random shear planes were encountered, however, no shear zones suggesting
the presence of a landslide were observed. Fracturing encountered in Boring
Nos. 2 and 3 was less significant. Therefore, it is our opinion that the
fracturing and minor random shearing is likely to be related to past
tectonic activity in the Southern California region rather than landsliding
as suggested by the Eberhart and Stone, Incorporated investigation.

Landslides
A relatively shallow landslide was encountered on the adjacent Carlsbad
Tract No. 75-9. As revealed by Boring Nos. 4 and 5 and also in exposures
of recent cut slopes, this feature may not exceed 20 feet in maximum depth.
Although the limits of the landslide were not directly observed, the
possible limits are indicated on the Site Plan, Figure 1, based on
topographic expression and extrapolation of boring data (see Site Plan,
Figure 1 and Geologic Cross-Section, Figure 2).
At the time of this investigation, most of the small landslide encountered
on Carlsbad Tract No. 75-9 was already removed by grading. In our opinion,
in its actual condition this slide does not represent a geotecbnical
constraint to the Stagecoach Park.
Groundwater
Minor random seeps were encountered in Poring Nos. 1 and 3 between the
approximate elevations of 212 and 205 feet MSL, respectively.
Moderate general seepage was encountered in Boring No. 3 at 196+_ feet MSL
elevation. It is possible that this occurrence represents the high level
of a permanent groundwater table in the general area. As suggested by the
findings from our exploratory borings, the piezometric surface is sloping
gently to the south.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
1. It is our opinion based on this subsurface exploration tbat a small
landslide approximately 20 feet in depth exists on Carlsbad Tract No. 75-9
immediately east of Mision Estancia. The determination of the limits of
sliding within Tract 75-9 was beyond the scope of this investigation. This
study indicates that the landslide does not extend westerly beyond Mision
Estancia and, hence, in our opinion, it does not represent a potential
geotechnical constraint to development of Stagecoach Park.
2. Moderate to high fracturing and random minor shearing was encountered
within the more clayey portion of the Delmar Formation. It is likely that
fractured claystones exist within the approximately 20-foot-high 2.0 to 1.0
cut slope at the Stagecoach Park easternmost corner. However, most of the
fracturing and shearing appears to be favorably oriented with respect to
the cut slope. It is, therefore, our opinion that the factor-of-safety
against both deep-seated and surficial failures should be satisfactory.
3. Several minor seeps were encountered in Boring Nos. 1 and 3. Moderate
general seepage was also observed in Boring No. 3 at approximately 196 feet
MSL elevation. It is our opinion that at the present levels, the ground-
water will have little or no impact on the subject project.
4. In order to improve the surficial stability of the 20-foot-high cut
slope at Stagecoach Park easternmost corner, it is recommended that the
^r
GEOCON

slope be planted with deep-rooted, drought-resistant shrubs or trees and
native plants and grasses. Large-leafed iceplant should not he used on
slopes. Slope watering should be kept to a minimum to just support the
vegetative cover.
5. It is understood that a "Third Party" geotechnical consultant will be
retained to perform a supplemental investigation of the subject area. It
is requested that Geocon, Incorporated be informed of the time of the field
investigation and that we be permitted to observed the test borings with
the "Third Party" consultant.

LIMITATIONS AND UNIFORMITY OF CONDITIONS
1. The recommendations of this report pertain only to the site
investigated and are based upon the assumption that the soil conditions do
not deviate from those disclosed in the investigation. If any variations
or undesirable conditions are encountered during construction, or if the
proposed construction will differ from that planned at the present time,
Geocon, Incorporated should be notified so that supplemental recom-
mendations can be given.
2. This report is issued with the understanding that it is the
responsibility of the owner, or of his representative, to ensure that the
information and recommendations contained herein are brought to the
attention of the architect and engineer for the project and incorporated
into the plans, and the necessary steps are taken to see that the
contractor and subcontractors carry out such recommendations in the field.
3. The findings of this report are valid as of the present date. However,
changes in the conditions of a property can occur with the passage of time,
whether they be due to natural processes or the works of man on this or
adjacent properties. In addition, changes in applicable or appropriate
standards may occur, whether they result from legislation or the broadening
of knowledge. Accordingly, the findings of this report may be invalidated
wholly or partially by changes outside our control. Therefore, this report
is subject to review and.should not be relied upon after a period of three
years.

APPENDIX A
FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation was performed on April 1 and April 2, 1986 and
consisted of the excavation of five large-diameter exploratory borings to
depths ranging from 13 to 71 feet below existing ground surface. The
approximate locations of the exploratory excavations are shown on the
attached Figure 1, Site Plan. Drilling was accomplished by a truck-mounted
caisson-type drill rig equipped with a 30-inch-diameter bucket auger. The
soils encountered in the exploratory excavations were continuously
examined, visually classified and down-hole logged. The logs of test
borings are presented on Figures A-l through A-9 of in Appendix A. The logs
depict the depth and description of the various soil types encountered,
seepage occurrences and geologic relationships of the units.
