The scope of the field investigation consisted of a site geologic reconnaissance and the
drilling of 3 large-diameter borings and excavation of 14 exploratory trenches. Laboratory
tests were performed on selected soil samples obtained at various depths in the exploratory
excavations to evaluate pertinent physical properties.
Details of the field investigation and laboratory tests are presented in Appendices A and B,
respectively. Selected logs of exploratory excavations from our study for the above-
referenced Major Roads study (Reference 1) are presented in Appendix C. This data has
been utilized to aid in the preparation of this report. The recommendations presented
herein are based on our analysis of the data obtained from the exploratory excavations,
laboratory tests and our experience with similar soil and geologic conditions.

The base map used for this preliminary study consisted of a conceptual grading plan untitled
and undated, prepared by Rick Engineering (see Figure 2). The results of the field
investigation are compiled on Figure 2, depicting the site geologic conditions. A geologic
cross section is presented on Figure 3.
SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Rancho Carrillo is located south of Palomar Airport Road and adjacent to the eastern
corporate boundary of the city of Carlsbad (see Vicinity Map, Figure 1). Villages A, B, C,
and D are located within the northwest portion of the Rancho Carrillo project. Villages B
and C are bordered to the north by Palomar Airport Road and to the south by Villages A
and D. Villages E and K of Rancho Carrillo project are situated to the east, and the
proposed Melrose Avenue is located to the west and south of the project site.
The four villages consist of approximately 75 acres of gently to steeply sloping undeveloped
land drained by various tributary drainages to the west and east. Elevations on the property
range from approximately 499 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) at the southern margin
of Village D to approximately 310 feet MSL near the western boundary of the Village A.
It is our understanding that initial project development will consist of sheet-grading the
villages in preparation for subsequent improvements. It is further understood that the
construction of the Melrose Avenue will precede the grading of the adjacent villages.

A review of the referenced Rancho Carrillo Master Plan and the conceptual grading plan
(see Figure 2) indicates maximum proposed excavation and fill depths on the order of 46
and 105 feet, respectively. Cut slopes are planned to maximum heights of 26 feet along the
northern boundary. An approximately 75-foot-high cut slope would be constructed along the
southern property margin as a result of the grading for Melrose Avenue. No significant fill
slopes are presently planned.
The above discussion is based on a site reconnaissance and a review of the referenced
grading studies. It is understood that, as future development and grading plans progress,
Geocon Incorporated will be afforded the opportunity for review of these documents.
SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
One geologic unit consisting of the Delmar Formation and two mapped surficial units
consisting of undocumented fill and alluvium were encountered during the field
investigation. Topsoils were present to varying depths but are not mapped. The
formational and surficial units is discussed below. Their approximate areal extent is shown
on the Geologic Map, Figure 2.
-4-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
Delmar Formation (Td)
The Eocene-aged Delmar Formation is present beneath the surficial units over the entire
site. The Delmar Formation, as encountered in the exploratory excavations and
documented by previous studies, consists primarily of interbedded sandstone, claystone, and
less commonly, siltstones. The sandstone beds are generally 10 to 20 feet thick, massive to
thinly bedded and moderately cemented. Cementation, however, can vary from highly
cemented, drill-resistant, concretionary beds of approximately 1 to 2 feet thick to slightly
cemented and nearly cohesionless. The claystones are generally massive to poorly bedded,
highly fractured, and commonly occur in beds up to 20 feet thick. In addition, bedding plane
shear zones are relatively common within the claystones. The claystone and siltstone
materials of this formation are typically characterized as having a "medium" to "high"
expansion potential and where present at or near finish grade will require consideration for
selective grading and/or modifying design parameters for improvements.
Excavations within the Delmar Formation should be possible with light to moderate effort
except where highly cemented concretionary beds are encountered. Such beds are generally
difficult to excavate and excavation usually results in the generation of oversized materials
that can be difficult to handle and place in fills. Furthermore, cut slopes exposing
alternating sandstone and claystone bedding may present surficial instability and require
mitigation by construction of a stability fill.
-5-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
Some of the exploratory excavations within the Delmar Formation depict a near-surface
zone of 2 to 6 feet of weathered material and/or formational creep. These materials, in
their present condition, are considered unsuitable to receive fill or settlement-sensitive
structure. Remedial grading in the form of removal and recompaction is recommended for
these zones.
Alluvium (Qal)
Alluvial soils were encountered during the site reconnaissance at the bottom of the tributary
canyons throughout the project site. These materials vary in consistency from silty, fine
sands to sandy clays. Alluvial soils are considered unsuitable in their present condition
where planned to receive fill or settlement-sensitive improvement and should be removed
and recompacted in accordance with the recommendations presented herein.
Undocumented Fill (Qudf)
Undocumented fill soils, were encountered within the upper reach of three of the tributary
canyons to an approximate depth of 6 feet. The presence of undocumented fill may not
limited to these isolated areas. Based on our experience, it is not uncommon for old fill
areas to be present in areas utilized for agriculture; however, their presence is masked by
the cultivation activities. Where fill soils are encountered during grading, remediation will
be required by removal and recompaction.
-6-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
Topsoils (Unmapped^)
Topsoils consisting of loose, dry, clayey sands and firm, sandy clay mantle the majority of
the site to depths of approximately 2 to 5 feet. Due to the unconsolidated nature and
potential expansiveness of the surficial topsoils, removal and selective placement in deeper
fills will be required where development is planned.
GROUNDWATER
The Delmar Formation which underlies the majority of site has permeability characteristics
and/or bedding that, under certain conditions, could be susceptible to water seepage. In as
much as no springs, seepage or groundwater were encountered during our site investigation,
it is our opinion that the seepage potential for the site is relatively low. However, it is
possible that areas of localized seepage, perched groundwater, or wet soil may be
encountered, particularly if grading is performed during or shortly after a period of intense
precipitation. Groundwater conditions, either potential or actual, will be mitigated by
installation of subdrains, heel drains and drainage panels constructed to direct flow to a
suitable outlet.
GEOLOGIC STRUCTURE
The geologic structure of the site can be characterized as horizontal to gently westward
dipping of Eocene sedimentary rocks. The most significant structural aspect of sedimentary
-7-
Project No. 04787-12-05

^ rocks is the occurrence of bedding plane faults within the Delmar Formation. These ancient
** shear zones are characterized by soft clay gauge zones of various thickness. The significance
of these features is their potential adverse affect on the stability of the cut slopes.

Faulting and Seismicity
•HI
It is our opinion, based on our field investigation and review of aerial photographs and
published geologic maps (Weber, 1963 and 1982), the site is not located on any active or
potentially active fault trace as defined by the California Division of Mines and Geology.
A minor intraformational fault was encountered within the Delmar Formation
(Trench TS-1).

Liquefaction
Soil liquefaction is generally limited to granular soils located below groundwater which are
in a relatively loose, unconsolidated condition at the time of a large earthquake event. It
is our opinion that, due to the high density and cemented nature of the formational soils
occurring on the site, and lack of near surface groundwater there is no significant risk of
seismically induced liquefaction within the four villages.
-9-
Project No. 04787-12-05

adversely dipping bedding-plane faults, the upper portion of this slope will require
remediation by construction of a buttress fill.
Soils and Excavation Characteristics
5. Based on our field observation and laboratory test results, the prevailing soil
conditions are anticipated to vary from "low" expansive, silty to clayey sands derived
from the sandstones of the Delmar Formation to "medium" to "high" expansive
material derived from topsoils and clayey portions of the Delmar Formation. The
expansive character of the soils is defined in accordance with the Uniform Building
Code (UBC) Table 29-C.
6. Excavation of the surficial deposits should be possible with light to moderate effort
with conventional heavy-duty grading equipment. Moderate to heavy effort should
be anticipated for excavations in the formational soil. Excavation of the highly
cemented concretionary zones within the Delmar Formation will generally be difficult,
may require heavy ripping and will probably result in the generation of oversized
material (greater than 12-inch). It should also be anticipated that after site grading
is complete, future excavations in cut areas that expose the Delmar Formation may
encounter cemented material and require special excavation equipment.
- 11 -
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
Grading
7. All anticipated grading for site development should be performed in accordance with
the Recommended Grading Specifications contained in Appendix D, and in accordance
with pertinent ordinances of the city of Carlsbad. Where recommendations of
Appendix D conflict with this section of the report, the recommendations of this
section shall take precedence. All earthwork should be observed by, and all
compacted fill tested by, representatives of Geocon Incorporated.
8. Prior to commencing grading, a preconstruction conference should be held at the site
with the Owner or Developer, Grading Contractor, Civil Engineer, and Geotechnical
Engineer in attendance. Special soil and oversize material handling and/or the
grading plans can be discussed at that time.
9. Site preparation should begin with removal of all deleterious matter and vegetation
in areas to be graded. The depth of removal should be such that material to be used
in fills is free of organic matter. Material generated during stripping operations
should be exported from the site to an approved location.
10. The site should then be brought to final subgrade elevations with structural fill
compacted in layers. In general, native soils are suitable for reuse as fill if free from
vegetation, debris and other deleterious matter. Layers of fill should be no
- 12-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
thicker than will allow for adequate bonding and compaction. In areas proposed
for improvements, all fill (including backfill and scarified ground surfaces) should
be compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density at or slightly above
optimum moisture content, as determined in accordance with ASTM Test Procedure
D1557-78, Method A or C.
11. Grading operations on the site should be scheduled so as to place the oversized rocks,
cemented material and expansive soils in the deeper fills. All fill slopes should be
constructed with granular materials having a "low" expansion potential.
12. All potentially compressible surficial deposits including topsoils, undocumented fill,
alluvium, not removed by planned grading operations should be removed to firm
natural ground and properly compacted prior to placing additional fill and/or
structures. For grading in other area, deeper than normal benching and/or stripping
operations for sloping ground surfaces will be required where thicknesses of
potentially compressible surficial materials are greater than three feet.
13. Grading operations should be designed to provide a sufficient cap of "very low" to
"low" expansive finish grade soils such that the upper 3 feet of all final building pads
(cut or fill) and 12 inches in pavement areas are composed of properly compacted or
-13-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
undisturbed formational 'Very low" to "low" expansive soils. The more highly
expansive soils should be placed in the deeper fill areas and properly compacted.
"Very low" to "low" expansive soils are defined as those soils that have an Expansion
Index of 50 or less when tested in accordance with UBC Standard 29-2.
Subdrains
14. Subdrains should be installed within the tributary canyons to be filled. A cross-section
of the recommended subdrain configuration is presented on Figure 4. After
installation of the subdrain, the project Civil Engineer should survey its location and
elevation and prepare "as-built" plans of the subdrain location. The approximate
planned locations of the subdrains are shown on Figure 2.
15. It is assumed that the road embankment for Melrose Avenue will be constructed
prior to the grading of the subject project; therefore, sections of subdrains will have
been installed within those areas where the road embankment cross the
aforementioned tributary canyons. During grading within the Villages, the canyon
subdrains should be connected to those sections and drained to a permanent
subsurface system or continued into suitable open-space drainage.
- 14-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
Bulking and Shrinkage Factors
16. Estimates of embankment bulking and shrinkage factors are based on comparing
laboratory compaction tests with the density of the material in its natural state as
encountered in the exploratory excavations. It should be emphasized that variations
in natural soil density, as well as in compacted fill densities, render shrinkage value
estimates very approximate. As an example, the contractor can compact the fill soils
to any relative compaction of 90 percent or higher of the maximum laboratory
density. Thus, the contractor has approximately a 10 percent range of control over
the fill volume. Based on the limited work performed to date, it is our opinion that
the following shrinkage and bulking factors can be used as a basis for estimating how
much the on-site soils may shrink or swell (bulk) when excavated from their natural
state and placed as compacted fills.

Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
Slope Stability
17. A review of the Conceptual Grading Plan indicates that the maximum designed height
of cut slopes are approximately 26 feet. No significant fill slopes are planned at this
stage. However, an approximately 75-foot-high cut slope is planned along the
southern boundary that will be constructed during the grading operations for Melrose
Avenue.
18. A drained buttress fill is recommended for the upper portion of this slope. This
buttress is necessary due to the presence of bedding-plane faults. The design and
analysis for this slope has been presaturated in our Geotechnical Investigation Report
for Rancho Carrillo - Major Roads, dated January 15, 1993.
19. The stability of proposed cut slopes with respect to deep-seated failure was analyzed
using Janbu's Method for dimensionless slopes and the effective shear strength
parameters of c = 300 psf and (j> = 30 degrees for the Delmar Formation.
20. The above shear strength parameters are based on the findings of this study and our
experience with similar soil and geologic conditions in the area. The results of the
analysis indicate that 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) cut or fill slopes possess a calculated
factor of safety in excess of 1.5 for a height of approximately 30 feet. The slope
- 16-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
stability analysis is presented in Figure 5. Surficial slope stability analysis of fill
slopes also indicates a factor of safety in excess of 1.5; calculations are presented on
Figure 6.
21. All cut slopes should be observed during grading by an engineering geologist to verify
that soil and geologic conditions do not differ significantly from those anticipated.
The requirement for remedial measures such as stability fills will be evaluated in the
field during grading when the exposed conditions can be more appropriately observed.
22. All slopes should be planted, drained and properly maintained to reduce erosion.
Foundations
23. The following foundation recommendations for the proposed one- and/or two-story
residential structures are separated into categories dependent on the depth and
geometry of underlying fill soils for a particular lot. Determination of final
foundation design for specific lots will be made at the completion of grading and will
be presented at that time within interim and/or final reports of mass grading
operations. It should be noted that the following foundation recommendations
pertain to lots excavated in or capped with a minimum of 3 feet of 'Very low" to "low"
expansive soils (Expansion Index of 50 or less). For lots possessing an Expansion
Index greater than 50 within 3 feet of finish grade, additional recommendations will
be provided.

- 18-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
24. Foundations for either Category I, II or III may be designed for an allowable soil
bearing pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) (dead plus live load). This
bearing pressure may be increased by up to one-third for transient loads such as wind
or seismic forces.
25. No special subgrade presaturation is deemed necessary prior to placing concrete,
however, the exposed foundation and slab subgrade soils should be sprinkled, as
necessary, to maintain a moist condition as would be expected in any such concrete
placement.
26. Where buildings or other improvements are planned near the top of a slope steeper
than 3:1 (horizontahvertical), special foundations and/or design considerations are
recommended due to the tendency for lateral soil movement to occur.
a. For fill slopes less than 20 feet high, building footings should be deepened such
that the bottom outside edge of the footing is located at least 7 feet
horizontally from the face of the slope.
b. Where the height of the fill slope exceeds 20 feet, the minimum horizontal
distance should be increased to H/3 (where H equals the vertical distance
from the top of the fill portion of the slope to the top of the slope) but need
-19-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
not exceed 40 feet. An acceptable alternative to deepening the footings would
be the use of a post-tensioned slab and foundation system or increased footing
and slab reinforcement. Specific design parameters or recommendations for
either of these alternatives can be provided once the building location and fill
slope geometry has been determined.
c. For cut slopes in dense formational materials, or fill slopes inclined at 3:1
(horizontal:vertical) or flatter, the bottom outside edge of building footings
should be at least 7 feet horizontally from the face of the slope, regardless of
slope height.
d. Swimming pools located within 7 feet of the top of cut or fill slopes are not
recommended. Where such a condition cannot be avoided, it is recommended
that the portion of the swimming pool wall within 7 feet of the slope face be
designed assuming that the adjacent soil provides no lateral support. This
recommendation applies to fill slopes up to 30 feet in height, and for cut
slopes regardless of height. For swimming pools located near the top of fill
slopes greater than 30 feet in height, additional recommendations may be
required and Geocon Incorporated should be contacted for a review of specific
site conditions.
-20-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
27. Masonry or concrete walls, concrete flatwork, gazebos or other appurtenant structures
located near the tops of slopes may also be impacted by the lateral soil movement
phenomenon discussed above. If it is desired to mitigate the effects of lateral soil
movement, Geocon Incorporated should be contacted for additional recommen-
dations. As a minimum, concrete or masonry wall footings should be such that the
outside edge of the footing is located at least 7 feet horizontally from the face of the
slope in fill, and at least 5 feet from the face of the slope where competent bedrock
is exposed in the foundation excavation. Additionally, where concrete or masonry
flatwork will be located near the top of a slope and within the minimum horizontal
distance recommended in paragraph 26, some movement and/or distress should be
anticipated.
28. As an alternative to the foundation recommendations for each Category, consideration
should be given to the use of post-tensioned concrete slab and foundation systems for
the support of the proposed structures. The post-tensioned systems should be
designed by a structural engineer experienced in post-tensioned slab design and
design criteria of the Post-Tensioned Institute or a comparable method. In addition,
Geocon Incorporated should be consulted to provide geotechnical design parameters.
-21-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
29. The recommendations of this report are intended to reduce the potential for cracking
of slabs due to expansive soils (if present), differential settlement of deep fills or fills
of varying thicknesses. However, even with the incorporation of the recom-
mendations presented herein, foundations and slabs-on-grade placed on such
conditions may still exhibit some cracking. The occurrence of concrete shrinkage
cracks is independent of the supporting soil characteristics. Their occurrence may be
reduced and/or controlled by limiting the slump of the concrete, proper concrete
placement and curing, and by the placement of crack control joints at periodic
intervals, in particular, where re-entry slab corners occur.
Retaining Walls and Lateral Loads
30. Retaining walls not restrained at the top and having a level backfill surface should be
designed for an active soil pressure equivalent to the pressure exerted by a fluid
density of 30 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). Where the backfill will be inclined at no
steeper than 2:1, an active soil pressure of 40 pcf is recommended. These soil
pressures assume that the backfill materials within an area bounded by the wall and
a 1:1 plane extending upward from the base of the wall possess an Expansion Index
of less than 50.
-22-
Project No. 04787-12-05

31. Unrestrained walls are those that are allowed to rotate more than 0.001H at the top
of the wall. Where walls are restrained from movement at the top, an additional
uniform pressure of 7H psf (where H equals the height of the retaining wall portion
of the wall in feet) should be added to the above active soil pressure.
32. All retaining walls should be provided with a drainage system adequate to prevent the
buildup of hydrostatic forces. The need for waterproofing and the type of materials
should be determined by others. The use of drainage openings through the base of
the wall (weep holes, etc.) is acceptable, provided that care is taken not to bury the
openings and water emanating therefrom will not be a nuisance. The above recom-
mendations assume a properly compacted granular (Expansion Index less than 50)
backfill material with no hydrostatic forces or imposed surcharge load. A typical
retaining wall detail is presented on Figure 7. If conditions different than those
described are anticipated, or if specific drainage details are desired, Geocon
Incorporated should be contacted for additional recommendations.
33. In general, wall foundations having a minimum depth and width of one foot may be
designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf, provided the soil
within 3 feet below the base of the wall has an Expansion Index of less than 90. The
proximity of the foundation to the top of a slope steeper than 3:1 could impact the
-23-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
allowable soil bearing pressure. Therefore, Geocon Incorporated should be consulted
where such a condition is anticipated.
34. For resistance to lateral loads, an allowable passive earth pressure equivalent to a
fluid density of 300 pcf is recommended for footings or shear keys poured neat
against properly compacted granular fill soils or undisturbed natural soils. The
allowable passive pressure assumes a horizontal surface extending at least 5 feet or
three times the surface generating the passive pressure, whichever is greater. The
upper 12 inches of material not protected by floor slabs or pavement should not be
included in the design for lateral resistance. An allowable friction coefficient of 0.4
may be used for resistance to sliding between soil and concrete. This friction
coefficient may be combined with the allowable passive earth pressure when
determining resistance to lateral loads.
35. The recommendations presented above are generally applicable to the design of
concrete or masonry retaining walls having a maximum height of 8 feet. In the event
that walls higher than 8 feet or other type of walls are planned, such as crib-type
walls, Geocon Incorporated should be consulted for additional geotechnical analysis
and recommendations.
-24-
Project No. 04787-12-05
March 3, 1993
Drainage
36. Adequate drainage provisions are imperative. Under no circumstances should water
be allowed to pond adjacent to footings. The building pads should be properly finish
graded after the buildings and other improvements are in place so that drainage
water is directed away from foundations, pavements, concrete slabs, and slope tops
to controlled drainage devices.
Foundation and Grading Plan Review
37. Geocon Incorporated should review the grading plans, as well as any retaining wall
plans, and foundation plans prior to final design submittal to determine if additional
analysis/recommendations are required.
Corrosive Soils
38. No laboratory tests were performed to evaluate the chemical characteristics of the on-
site soils as regard to the potentially corrosive impact to below grade improvements.
In our opinion, this type of testing is more appropriately performed after mass
grading is completed. Furthermore, in that Geocon Incorporated does not practice
corrosion engineering, it is recommended that the developer retain a firm that does
specialize in this field to provide consulting services on this matter.

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 anticipated herein,
Geocon Incorporated should be notified so that supplemental recommendations can be
given. The evaluation or identification of the potential presence of hazardous materials
was not part of the scope of services provided by Geocon Incorporated.
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.

FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation was performed on November 18, 1992, and consisted of a site
reconnaissance and the excavation of 3 exploratory borings and 14 trenches at the
approximate locations shown on Figure 2. The borings were advanced to a depth of 35
to 61 feet using a truck-mounted drill rig equipped with a 30-inch-diameter bucket auger.
Relatively undisturbed samples were obtained from the boring by driving a 3-inch, O. D.,
split-tube sampler 12 inches into the "undisturbed" soil mass with blows of a Triple Kelley
Bar falling 12 inches. The sampler was equipped with 1-inch-high by 2%-inch-diameter brass
sampler rings to facilitate sample removal and testing. Disturbed bulk samples were also
obtained from the borings.
The exploratory trenches were performed by means of a John Deere 555 trackhoe equipped
with a 24-inch bucket. Disturbed bulk samples were also obtained from test trenches.
The soil conditions encountered in the borings and trenches were visually examined,
classified, and logged. The logs of the exploratory borings and trenches are presented on
Figures A-l through A-21.

LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were performed in accordance with generally accepted test methods of the
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or other suggested procedures.
Selected samples were tested for their in-place density, moisture content, direct shear
strength and grain size distribution characteristics. The maximum dry density and optimum
moisture content of selected bulk samples were also determined. Portions of the bulk
samples were then remolded to selected densities and subjected to direct shear and
expansion tests. The results of these tests are summarized on Tables B-I through B-III and
Figure B-l. The in-place density and moisture contents are also presented on the logs of
the exploratory borings, Appendix A.

RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS
FOR
RANCHO CARRILLO
VILLAGES A, B, C, AND D
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
Project No. 04787-12-05
RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL
1.1 These Recommended Grading Specifications shall be used in conjunction with the
Geotechnical Report for the project prepared by Geocon Incorporated. The
recommendations contained in the text of the Geotechnical Report are a part of
the earthwork and grading specifications and shall supersede the provisions
contained hereinafter in the case of conflict.
1.2 Prior to the commencement of grading, a geotechnical consultant (Consultant)
shall be employed for the purpose of observing earthwork procedures and testing
the fills for substantial conformance with the recommendations of the Geotech-
nical Report and these specifications. It will be necessary that the Consultant
provide adequate testing and observation services so that he may determine that,
in his opinion, the work was performed in substantial conformance with these
specifications. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to assist the
Consultant and keep him apprised of work schedules and changes so that
personnel may be scheduled accordingly.
1.3 It shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor to provide adequate equipment
and methods to accomplish the work in accordance with applicable grading codes
or agency ordinances, these specifications and the approved grading plans. If, in
the opinion of the Consultant, unsatisfactory conditions such as questionable soil
materials, poor moisture condition, inadequate compaction, adverse weather, and
so forth, result in a quality of work not in conformance with these specifications,
the Consultant will be empowered to reject the work and recommend to the
Owner that construction be stopped until the unacceptable conditions are
corrected.
DEFINITIONS
2.1 Owner shall refer to the owner of the property or the entity on whose behalf the
grading work is being performed and who has contracted with the Contractor to
have grading performed.
2.2 Contractor shall refer to the Contractor performing the site grading work.
23 Civil Engineer or Engineer of Work shall refer to the California licensed Civil
Engineer or consulting firm responsible for preparation of the grading plans,
surveying and verifying as-graded topography.
2.4 Consultant shall refer to the soil engineering and engineering geology
consulting firm retained to provide geotechnical services for the project.
2.5 Soil Engineer shall refer to a California licensed Civil Engineer retained by the
Owner, who is experienced in the practice of geotechnical engineering. The Soil
Engineer shall be responsible for having qualified representatives on-site to
observe and test the Contractor's work for conformance with these specifications.
2.6 Engineering Geologist shall refer to a California licensed Engineering Geologist
retained by the Owner to provide geologic observations and recommendations
during the site grading.
2.7 Geotechnical Report shall refer to a sofl report (including all addendums) which
may include a geologic reconnaissance or geologic investigation that was prepared
specifically for the development of the project for which these Recommended
Grading Specifications are intended to apply.
MATERIALS
3.1 Materials for compacted fill shall consist of any soil excavated from the cut areas
or imported to the site that, in the opinion of the Consultant, is suitable for use
in construction of fills. In general, fill materials can be classified as soil fills,
soil-rock fills or rock fills, as defined below.
3.1.1 Soil fills are defined as fills containing no rocks or hard lumps greater than
12 inches in maximum dimension and containing at least 40 percent by
weight of material smaller than 3/4 inch in size.
3.1.2 Soil-rock fills are defined as fills containing no rocks or hard lumps larger
than 4 feet in maximum dimension and containing a sufficient matrix of soil
fill to allow for proper compaction of soil fill around the rock fragments or
hard lumps as specified in Paragraph 62. Oversize rock is defined as
material greater than 12 inches.
3.13 Rock fills are defined as fills containing no rocks or hard lumps larger than
3 feet in maximum dimension and containing little or no fines. Fines are
defined as material smaller than 3/4 inch in maximum dimension. The
quantity of fines shall be less than approximately 20 percent of the rock fill
quantity.
32 Material of a perishable, spongy, or otherwise unsuitable nature as determined by
the Consultant shall not be used in fills.
33 Materials used for fill, either imported or on-site, shall not contain hazardous
materials as defined by the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4,
Chapter 30, Articles 9 and 10; 40CFR; and any other applicable local, state or
federal laws. The Consultant shall not be responsible for the identification or
analysis of the potential presence of hazardous materials. However, if
observations, odors or soil discoloration cause Consultant to suspect the presence
of hazardous materials, the Consultant may request from the Owner the
termination of grading operations within the affected area. Prior to resuming
grading operations, the Owner shall provide a written report to the Consultant
indicating that the suspected materials are not hazardous as defined by applicable
laws and regulations.
3.4 The outer 15 feet of soil-rock fill slopes, measured horizontally, should be
composed of properly compacted soil fill materials approved by the Consultant.
Rock fill may extend to the slope face, provided that the slope is not steeper than
2:1 (horizontalrvertical) and a soil layer no thicker than 12 inches is track-walked
onto the face for landscaping purposes. This procedure may be utilized, provided
it is acceptable to the governing agency, Owner and Consultant.
3.5 Representative samples of soil materials to be used for fill shall be tested in the
laboratory by the Consultant to determine the maximum density, optimum
moisture content, and, where appropriate, shear strength, expansion, and gradation
characteristics of the soil
3.6 During grading, soil or groundwater conditions other than those identified in the
Geotechnical Report may be encountered by the Contractor. The Consultant shall
be notified immediately to evaluate the significance of the unanticipated condition.
CLEARING AND PREPARING AREAS TO BE FILLED
4.1 Areas to be excavated and filled shall be cleared and grubbed. Clearing shall
consist of complete removal above the ground surface of trees, stumps, brush,
vegetation, man-made structures and similar debris. Grubbing shall consist of
removal of stumps, roots, buried logs and other unsuitable material and shall be
performed in areas to be graded. Roots and other projections exceeding 1-1/2
inches in diameter shall be removed to a depth of 3 feet below the surface of the
ground. Borrow areas shall be grubbed to the extent necessary to provide suitable
fill materials.
42 Any asphalt pavement material removed during clearing operations should be
properly disposed at an approved off-site facility. Concrete fragments which are
free of reinforcing steel may be placed in fills, provided they are placed in
accordance with Section 6.2 or 63 of this document.
43 After clearing and grubbing of organic matter or other unsuitable material, loose
or porous soils shall be removed to the depth recommended in the Geotechnical
Report. The depth of removal and compaction shall be observed and approved
by a representative of the Consultant. The exposed surface shall then be plowed
or scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches and until the surface is free from
uneven features that would tend to prevent uniform compaction by the equipment
to be used.
4.4 Where the slope ratio of the original ground is steeper than 6:1
(horizontalrvertical), or where recommended by the Consultant, the original
ground should be benched in accordance with the following illustration.

NOTES: (1) Key width "B" should be a minimum of 10 feet wide, or
sufficiently wide to permit complete coverage with the
compaction equipment used. The base of the key should be
graded horizontal, or inclined slightly into the natural slope.
(2) The outside of the bottom key should be below the topsoil
or unsuitable surficial material and at least 2 feet into dense
formational material. Where hard rock is exposed in the bottom
of the key, the depth and configuration of the key may be
modified as approved by the Consultant.
4.5 After areas to receive fill have been cleared, plowed or scarified, the surface
should be disced or bladed by the Contractor until it is uniform and free from
large clods. The area should then be moisture conditioned to achieve the proper
moisture content, and compacted as recommended in Section 6.0 of these
specifications.
COMPACTION EQUIPMENT
5.1 Compaction of soil or soil-rock fill shall be accomplished by sheepsfoot or
segmented-steel wheeled rollers, vibratory rollers, multiple-wheel pneumatic-tired
rollers, or other types of acceptable compaction equipment. Equipment shall be
of such a design that it will be capable of compacting the soil or soil-rock fill to the
specified relative compaction at the specified moisture content.
52 Compaction of rock fills shall be performed in accordance with Section 6.3.
6 PLACING, SPREADING AND COMPACTION OF FELL MATERIAL
6.1 Soft fill, as defined in Paragraph 3.1.1, shall be placed by the Contractor in
accordance with the following recommendations:
6.1.1 Soil fill shall be placed by the Contractor in layers that, when compacted,
should generally not exceed 8 inches. Each layer shall be spread evenly and
shall be thoroughly mixed during spreading to obtain uniformity of material
and moisture in each layer. The entire fill shall be constructed as a unit in
nearly level lifts. Rock materials greater than 12 inches in maximum
dimension shall be placed in accordance with Section 6.2 or 63 of these
specifications.
6.12 In general, the soil fill shall be compacted at a moisture content at or above
the optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D1557-78.
6.13 When the moisture content of soil fill is below that specified by the
Consultant, water shall be added by the Contractor until the moisture
content is in the range specified.
-6.1.4 When the moisture content of the soil fill is above the range specified by
the Consultant or too wet to achieve proper compaction, the soil fill shall
be aerated by the Contractor by blading/mixing, or other satisfactory
methods until the moisture content is within the range specified.
6.1.5 After each layer has been placed, mixed, and spread evenly, it shall be
thoroughly compacted by the Contractor to a relative compaction of at least
90 percent. Relative compaction is defined as the ratio (expressed in
percent) of the in-place dry density of the compacted fill to the maximum
laboratory dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM D1557-78.
Compaction shall be continuous over the entire area, and compaction
equipment shall make sufficient passes so that the specified minimum
density has been achieved throughout the entire fill.
6.1.6 Soils having an Expansion Index of greater than 50 may be used in fills if
placed at least 3 feet below finish pad grade and should be compacted at
a moisture content generally 2 to 4 percent greater than the optimum
moisture content for the material
6.1.7 Properly compacted soil fill shall extend to the design surface of fill slopes.
To achieve proper compaction, it is recommended that fill slopes be over-
built by at least 3 feet and then cut to the design grade. This procedure is
considered preferable to track-walking of slopes, as described in the
following paragraph.
6.1.8 As an alternative to over-building of slopes, slope faces may be back-rolled
with a heavy-duty loaded sheepsfoot or vibratory roller at maximum 4-foot
fill height intervals. Upon completion, slopes should then be track-walked
with a D-8 dozer or similar equipment, such that a dozer track covers all
slope surfaces at least twice.
6.2 Soil-rock fill, as defined in Paragraph 3.1.2, shall be placed by the Contractor in
accordance with the following recommendations:
6.2.1 Rocks larger than 12 inches but less than 4 feet in maximum dimension
may be incorporated into the compacted soil fill, but shall be limited to the
area measured 15 feet minimum horizontally from the slope face and 5 feet
below finish grade or 3 feet below the deepest utility, whichever is deeper.
6.2.2 Rocks or rock fragments up to 4 feet in maximum dimension may either be
individually placed or placed in windrows. Under certain conditions, rocks
or rock fragments up to 10 feet in maximum dimension may be placed
using similar methods. The acceptability of placing rock materials greater
than 4 feet in maximum dimension shall be evaluated during grading, as
specific cases arise and shall be approved by the Consultant prior to
placement.
6.23 For individual placement, sufficient space shall be provided between rocks
to allow for passage of compaction equipment.
6.2.4 For windrow placement, the rocks should be placed in trenches excavated
in properly compacted soil fill. Trenches should be approximately 5 feet
wide and 4 feet deep in maximum dimension. The voids around and
beneath rocks should be filled with approved granular soil having a Sand
Equivalent of 30 or greater and should be compacted by flooding.
Windrows may also be placed utilizing an "open-face" method in lieu of the
trench procedure, however, this method should first be approved by the
Consultant.
6.2 J Windrows should generally be parallel to each other and may be placed
either parallel to or perpendicular to the face of the slope depending on the
site geometry. The minimum horizontal spacing for windrows shall be
12 feet center-to-center with a 5-foot stagger or offset from lower courses
to next overlying course. The minimum vertical spacing between windrow
courses shall be 2 feet from the top of a lower windrow to the bottom of
the next higher windrow.
62.6 All rock placement, fill placement and flooding of approved granular soil
in the windrows must be continuously observed by the Consultant or his
representative.
63 Rock fills, as defined in Section 3.13, shall be placed by the Contractor in
accordance with the following recommendations:
63.1 The base of the rock fill shall be placed on a sloping surface (minimum
slope of 2 percent, maximum slope of 5 percent). The surface shall slope
toward suitable subdrainage outlet facilities. The rock fills shall be provided
with subdrains during construction so that a hydrostatic pressure buildup
does not develop. The subdrains shall be permanently connected to
controlled drainage facilities to control post-construction infiltration of
water.
63.2 Rock fills shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 3 feet. Placement shall be
by rock trucks traversing previously placed lifts and dumping at the edge of
the currently placed lift. Spreading of the rock fill shall be by dozer to
facilitate seating of the rock. The rock fill shall be watered heavily during
placement. Watering shall consist of water trucks traversing in front of the
current rock lift face and spraying water continuously during rock
placement. Compaction equipment with compactive energy comparable to
or greater than that of a 20-ton steel vibratory roller or other compaction
equipment providing suitable energy to achieve the required compaction or
deflection as recommended in Paragraph 6.33 shall be utilized. The number
of passes to be made will be determined as described in Paragraph 6.3.3.
Once a rock fill lift has been covered with soil fill, no additional rock fill
lifts will be permitted over the soil fill.
633 Plate bearing tests, in accordance with ASTM D1196-64, may be performed
in both the compacted soil fill and in the rock fill to aid in determining the
number of passes of the compaction equipment to be performed. If
performed, a minimum of three plate bearing tests shall be performed in
the properly compacted soil fill (minimum relative compaction of 90
percent). Plate bearing tests shall then be performed on areas of rock fill
having two passes, four passes and six passes of the compaction equipment,
respectively. The number of passes required for the rock fill shall be
determined by comparing the results of the plate bearing tests for the soU
fill and the rock fill and by evaluating the deflection variation with number
of passes. The required number of passes of the compaction equipment
will be performed as necessary until the plate bearing deflections are equal
to or less than that determined for the properly compacted soil fill. In no
case will the required number of passes be less than two.
6.3.4 A representative of the Consultant shall be present during rock fill
operations to verify that the minimum number of "passes" have been
obtained, that water is being properly applied and that specified procedures
are being followed. The actual number of plate bearing tests will be
determined by the Consultant during grading. In general, at least one test
should be performed for each approximately 5,000 to 10,000 cubic yards of
rock fill placed.
63.5 Test pits shall be excavated by the Contractor so that the Consultant can
state that, in his opinion, sufficient water is present and that voids between
large rocks are properly filled with smaller rock material. In-place density
testing wfll not be required in the rock fills.
63.6 To reduce the potential for "piping" of fines into the rock fill from overlying
soil fill material, a 2-foot layer of graded filter material shall be placed
above the uppermost lift of rock fill. The need to place graded filter
material below the rock should be determined by the Consultant prior to
commencing grading. The gradation of the graded filter material will be
determined at the time the rock fill is being excavated. Materials typical of
the rock fill should be submitted to the Consultant in a timely manner, to
allow design of the graded filter prior to the commencement of rock fill
placement.
63.7 All rock fill placement shall be continuously observed during placement by
representatives of the Consultant.
OBSERVATION AND TESTING
7.1 The Consultant shall be the Owners representative to observe and perform tests
during clearing, grubbing, filling and compaction operations. In general, no more
than 2 feet in vertical elevation of soil or soil-rock fill shall be placed without at
least one field density test being performed within that interval In addition, a
minimum of one field density test shall be performed for every 2,000 cubic yards
of soil or soil-rock fill placed and compacted.
7.2 The Consultant shall perform random field density tests of the compacted soil or
soil-rock fill to provide a basis for expressing an opinion as to whether the fill
material is compacted as specified. Density tests shall be performed in the
compacted materials below any disturbed surface. When these tests indicate that
the density of any layer of fill or portion thereof is below that specified, the
particular layer or areas represented by the test shall be reworked until the
specified density has been achieved.
73 During placement of rock fill, the Consultant shall verify that the minimum
number of passes have been obtained per the criteria discussed in Section 633.
The Consultant shall request the excavation of observation pits and may perform
plate bearing tests on the placed rock fills. The observation pits will be excavated
to provide a basis for expressing an opinion as to whether the rock fill is properly
seated and sufficient moisture has been applied to the material. If performed,
plate bearing tests will be performed randomly on the surface of the most-recently
placed lift. Plate bearing tests will be performed to provide a basis for expressing
an opinion as to whether the rock fill is adequately seated. The maximum
deflection in the rock fill determined in Section 633 shall be less than the
maximum deflection of the properly compacted soil fill. When any of the above
criteria indicate that a layer of rock fill or any portion thereof is below that
specified, the affected layer or area shall be reworked until the rock fill has been
adequately seated and sufficient moisture applied.
7.4 A settlement monitoring program designed by the Consultant may be conducted
in areas of rock fill placement The specific design of the monitoring program
shall be as recommended in the Conclusions and Recommendations section of the
project Geotechnical Report or in the final report of testing and observation
services performed during grading.
7.5 The Consultant shall observe the placement of subdrains, to verify that the
drainage devices have been placed and constructed in substantial conformance
with project specifications.
7.6 Testing procedures shall conform to the following Standards as appropriate:
7.6.1 Soil and Soil-Rock Fills:
7.6.1.1 Field Density Test, ASTM D1556-82, Density of Soil In-PIace By
the Sand-Cone Method.
7.6.12 Field Density Test, Nuclear Method, ASTM D2922-81, Density of
Soil and Soil-Aggregate In-PIace by Nuclear Methods (Shallow
Depth).
7.6.13 Laboratory Compaction Test, ASTM D1557-78, Moisture-Density
Relations of Sous and Soil-Aggregate Mixtures Using 10-Pound
Hammer and 18-Inch Drop.
7.6.1.4 Expansion Index Test, Uniform Building Code Standard 29-2,
Expansion Index. Test.
1.62 Rock Fills:
7.6.2.1 Field Plate Bearing Test, ASTM D1196-64 (Reapproved 1977)
Standard Method for Nonrepresentative Static Plate Load Tests of
Soils and Flexible. Pavement Components, For Use in Evaluation
and Design of Airport and Highway Pavements.
8 PROTECTION OF WORK
8.1 During construction, the Contractor shall properly grade all excavated surfaces to
provide positive drainage and prevent ponding of water. Drainage of surface
water shall be controlled to avoid damage to adjoining properties or to finished
work on the site. The Contractor shall take remedial measures to prevent erosion
of freshly graded areas until such time as permanent drainage and erosion control
features have been installed Areas subjected to erosion or sedimentation shall
be properly prepared in accordance with the Specifications prior to placing
additional fill or structures.
8.2 After completion of grading as observed and tested by the Consultant, no further
excavation or filling shall be conducted except in conjunction with the services of
the Consultant
CERTIFICATIONS AND FINAL REPORTS
9.1 Upon completion of the work, Contractor shall furnish Owner a certification by
the Civil Engineer stating that the lots and/or building pads are graded to within
0.1 foot vertically of elevations shown on the grading plan and that all tops and
toes of slopes are within 0 J foot horizontally of the positions shown on the
grading plans. After installation of a section of subdrain, the project Civil
Engineer should survey its location and prepare an as-built plan of the subdrain
location. The project Civil Engineer should verify the proper outlet for the
subdrains and the Contractor should ensure that the drain system is free of
obstructions.
92 The Owner is responsible for furnishing a final as-graded soil and geologic report
satisfactory to the appropriate governing or accepting agencies. The as-graded
report should be prepared and signed by a California licensed Civil Engineer
experienced in geotechnical engineering and by a California Certified Engineering
Geologist, indicating that the geotechnical aspects of the grading were performed
in substantial conformance with the Specifications or approved changes to the
Specifications.
