EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the results of the supplemental geotechnical investigation performed for
Design Stage 2 ofthe planned widening and realignment of Rancho Santa Fe Road in Carisbad,
Califomia. AEE previously reviewed available geotechnical data, prepared an excavatability map,
provided preliminary recommendations for excavation slopes, and developed preliminary
comments on bridge foundation support conditions as part of the Design Stage 1 studies. A
summary report for Stage 1 was submitted on July 9,1998.
Design Stage 2 consists of preparing plans specifications and cost estimates for Phase I
constaiction from the highest elevation along the alignment, about Station 252, south to La Costa
Avenue. A "Supplemental Soil and Geologic Investigation" report prepared by Geocon,
Incorporated, dated January, 1990 provided the basis for development of AEE's scope of work.
The data developed by Geocon were considered in preparing the recommendations contained in
AEE's report.
Four test borings were drilled to depths of 3 to 34 feet with 8-inch diameter hollow stem auger, air
percussion and rock coring equipment. Four seismic refraction surveys were performed by an AEE
geologist. Boring and seismic survey lines were located to complement data avaiiabte from the
previous Geocon study of the general area. Selected samples from the borings were tested to
evaluate pertinent classification and engineering properties and enable development of
geotechnical conclusions and recommendations.
The geologic units comprising most of the materials anticipated along the alignment can be
categorized in three main groups: colluvium, crystalline rock, and sedimentary rock. Minoramounts
of fill soils were encountered in Boring B-3, near La Costa Avenue. No groundwater was
encountered in the test borings drilled for this investigation or in Geocon' previous subsurface
exploration.
Rancho Santa Fe Road is located closest to the offshore portion of the Rose Canyon/Newport-
lnglewood Fault Zone. Parameters of earthquakes possible affecting the new roadway are
described in the main text.
The upper colluvial soils and the limited amounts of fill anticipated can be excavated with medium-
to heavy-duty equipment. Excavations in the Santiago Fonnation also can be made with heavy-
duty equipment, although concretions may be encountered which, forthe most part, will require
hydraulic rock breaking equipment or blasting for efficient removal. The Santiago Peak Volcanics
can be excavated most efficiently after the rock has been loosened by blasting. The upper,
weathered portion probably can be excavated by heavy-duty equipment.

Relatively flat slopes will be needed in colluvial and fill soils. Relatively steep slopes can be
excavated in fonnational materials and crystalline rock. Retaining walls, where necessary, can be
founded on shallow foundations in formational materials or hard rock.
Recommendations for site preparation and grading, temporary and pennanent slopes, wall and
culvert foundation support and con-osion are contained in the body of the report.

1.1 PROJECT
This report presents the results of the supplemental geotechnical investigation performed for
Design Stage 2 of the planned widening and realignment of Rancho Santa Fe Road in Carisbad,
Califomia. AEE previously reviewed available geotechnical data, prepared an excavatability map.
provided preliminary recommendations for excavation slopes, and developed preliminary
comments on bridge foundation support conditions as part of the Destgn Stage 1 studies. A
summary report for Stage 1 was submitted on July 9,1998.
1.2 PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
Design Stage 2 consists of preparing plans specificattons and cost estimates for Phase I
construction, which will extend from about Station 252 south to La Costa Avenue. The relationship
of the entire proposed alignment with respect to nearby topographic features is illustrated on
Figure 1.
Excavation will be required to establish final roadway grades along most of the portion ofthe road
alignment south of Station 252. It is understood that the deepest cut planned is about 35 feet.
Minor fills may be needed locally.
2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
This investigatton consisted of a revtew of available geologic data, a site reconnaissance, a field
exploration program, laboratorytesting, engineering analysis and development of conclusions and
recommendations regarding:
Site stratigraphy, structural geology and natural slope stability.
Subsurface soil and rock conditions.
Surface drainage and ground water levels.
Liquefaction potential and the potential for earthquake-induced settlements.
Excavatability, temporary cut slope stability, and shrinkage and swell factors for
estimating earthwork quantities.

A "Supplemental Soil and Geologic Investigation" report prepared by Geocon, Incorporated, dated
January, 1990 provided the basis for development of AEE's scope of woric. The data presented
by Geocon were considered in preparing the recommendations contained in this report.
3.0 FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
3.1 FIELD EXPLORATION
Four test borings were drilled to depths of 3 to 34 feet with 8-inch diameter hollow stem auger, air
percussion and rock coring equipment. Test boring locations are shown on Plate 1. Drilling was
performed underthe supervision of an AEE geologist who also logged the borings and obtained
samples for visual examination and laboratory testing. Disturbed samples were obtained from drill
cuttings and during Standard Penetration Testing. In this test, a 1.4-inch inside diameter sampler
was driven with a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. Blow counts for the last 12 inches of an
18-inch drive (or less) were recorded and are noted on the boring logs as "blows per foot."
Relatively undisturbed samples were obtained by driving a 2.5-inch diameter sampler with a 140-
pound hammer falling 30 inches. Blows for the final 12 inches (or less) of driving are recorded on
the boring logs. Samples of rock were obtained from 1 boring (boring B-1) using NX-size rock
coring equipment.
The logs of the test borings are contained in Appendix A. Soils are classified in accordance with
the Unified Soil Classification System which is explained in Appendix A. Rock and fonnational
materials are described according to their physical characteristics.

Four seismic refraction surveys were performed by an AEE geologist. Each survey line was 100
feet long. Fon/vard and reversed profiles were perfonmed to check for dipping interfaces. The
locations of the lines are shown on Plate 1. Results of the surveys are shown graphically in
Appendix B.
Boring and seismic survey lines were located to complement data available from the previous
Geocon study of the general area. Locations of the test borings and test pits completed by
Geocon are shown on Plates 1 and 2. The logs of the test borings and test pits are contained in
Appendix C.
3.2 LABORATORY TESTING
Selected samples were tested to evaluate pertinent classification and engineering properties. The
program included in-situ dry density and moisture content determinations, direct sheartests, grain-
size analyses, pH, resistivity, soluble sulfate and chloride content, and R-value. Dry density and
moisture content test results are shown on the boring logs in Appendix A. Descriptions of test
procedures and the results ofthe tests are contained in Appendix D.
4.0 SITE CONDITIONS
4.1 SURFACE CONDITIONS
The proposed road alignment south of Station 252 traverses gently to steeply sloping terrain.
Natural slopes range from about 1 -Yz: 1 (horizontahvertical) to as flat as about 3:1, except near La
Costa Avenue, where the ground surface is nearly levei. Vegetation consists of native grass,
weeds and scrub brush.
4.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.2.1 Soils and Rocks
The geologic units comprising most of the materials anticipated along the alignment can be
discussed in three main groups: colluvium, crystalline rock, and sedimentary rock. Minoramounts
of fill soils were encountered in Boring B-3, near La Costa Avenue. The influence of any fill soils
on overall grading is expected to be very small, because of their limited thickness and extent along
this portion of the alignment.

Page (5)
Colluvial Deposits
Colluvium, material deposited by erosion atthe bases of slopes, was encountered overiying the
rock in borings B-1, B-2 and B-4. The colluvium consists of silty and clayey sand which ranges
from about one to about four feet thick.
Crystalline Rock
Rocks of the Jurassic-aged Santiago Peak Volcanics comprise the crystalline rock, as well as the
majority of materials in general, anticipated to be encountered along the southem portion of the
alignment. The Santiago Peak Volcanics are composed largely of metamorphosed andosite or
dacite, with subordinate volumes of otherflow rocks and inter-flow sedimentary rocks. These rocks
are variably weathered in the near surface. Where fresh, they are generally hard and strong, and
typically exhibit multiple joint sets. In the vicinity of the alignment, the rock is reportedly highly
fractured and faulted, with a northwest-trending dominant structural grain. Commonly, the
Santiago Peak Volcanics present difficult excavation conditions.
Portions of the northern part of the Rancho Santa Fe Road Improvement alignment, north of
Station 252, reportedly are underiain by coarsely crystalline, intrusive igneous rock. The intrusive
igneous rocks do not extend into the southem portion of the alignment that comprises the Design
Stage 2 area.
Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary rocks of the Tertiary-aged Santiago Fonnation are exposed mainly at the southem
end of the alignment and just east of the roadway. These deposits consist of clayey sandstone
and silty or sandy claystone. This material is not anticipated to be as resistant as the granitic rock
or the Santiago Peak Volcanics. The borings for this supplemental investigation were located in
the areas where difficult excavation conditions might be anticipated, and thus the Santiago
Fonnation was not penetrated in AEE borings.
4.2.2 Groundwater
No groundwater was encountered in the test borings drilled for this investigation or in the test pits
previously excavated by others. The permanent groundwater level is expected to be deep and will
not have a signtficant impact on planned excavations. Seepage may occur along joints or seams
in the rock, and excavation procedures and final surface grades should provide be designed to
allow for seepage water fiow to suitable discharge points.

Groundwater levels may rise temporarily during and for a period after heavy rain. Seepage
volumes likely also will increase significantly. During the rainy season, appropriate provisions for
temporary slopes, drainage channels, sumps and pumps should be available on-site to reduce the
potential for delays due to water accumulation.
4.3 ENGINEERING SEISMOLOGY
Rancho Santa Fe Road is located between two majorfaults, the Rose Canyon/Newport-lnglewood
Fault Zone and the Elsinore Fault Zone. It is located closest to the offshore portion of the Rose
Canyon/Newport-lnglewood Fault Zone. Table 1 lists the maximum credible and maximum
probable accelerations for these and other major faults in the region.

4.4 LIQUEFACTION
No groundwater was encountered in the test borings. Only limited amounts of soils were
encountered and most of this section of the proposed Rancho Santa Fe Road alignment is
underiain by rock. The potential for liquefaction is considered negligible.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 GENERAL
The upper colluvial soils and the limited amounts of fill anticipated can be excavated with medium-
to heavy-duty equipment. Excavations in the Santiago Formation also can be made with heavy-
duty equipment, although concretions may be encountered which, forthe most part, will require
hydraulic rock breaking equipment or blasting for efficient removal. The Santiago Peak Volcanics
can be excavated most efficiently after the rock has been loosened by blasting. The upper,
weathered portion probably can be excavated by heavy-duty equipment.
Relatively flat slopes will be needed in colluvial and fill soils. Relatively steep slopes can be
excavated in fonnational materials and crystalline rock. Retaining walls, where necessary, can be
founded on shallow foundations in fonnational materials or hard rock.
Areas where new fill will be placed are expected to be limited. New fills can be placed on existing
colluvial soils, formational materials, orhard rock following preparation as described in subsequent
sections ofthis report. Moderately steep fill slopes are considered appropriate, to minimize the
potential for erosion and sloughing in the predominately granular soils expected to comprise fill
soils derived from on-site sources.
5.2 SITE PREPARATION AND GRADING
Initially, the surface of the area to be graded should be cleared of obstructions, debris and the
upper few inches of soil containing roots and other organic material. All soil containing organic
material should bedisposed of off-site orstockpiled for later use in landscaping. Existing irrigation,
drainage and utility lines, or other existing subsurface structures which are notto be utilized, if any,
should be removed, destroyed or abandoned in compliance with applicable regulations.
The exposed ground surface in areas where new fill will be placed should be scarified to a depth
of 8 inches, brought to approximately optimum moisture content, and compacted to at least 90%
relative compaction based on ASTM D-1557-91 laboratory testing method. All references to
optimum moisture content and relative compaction in this report are based on this test method.
On-site or imported materials generally can be used as fill. The upper, weathered portions of the
Santiago Peak Volcanics and the Santiago Formatton likely witl be usable as fill without further
processing. Below the more weathered zone, excavated rock and formational materials will
contain large blocks and will be unsuitable for use as fill without additionat processing. Rock

excavated following blasting typically will consist of cobble and boulder sizes. Processing including
crushing and sieving to achieve a uniform gradation may be an economical means of making the
material suitable for fill on this project and elsewhere. Cnjshed volcanic rock may be able to be
used for base course and pipe bedding in utility trenches, and appropriate testing can be done
during construction to check suitability forthis purpose.
Fill and backfill derived from on-site sources should not contain rocks greater than 6 inches in
maximum dimension. Imported materials, if used, should consist of ctean, predominately granular
soil containing no vegetation, debris or rocks greater than 6 inches in the maximum dimension,
imported materials should have an Expansion Index of 20 or less and should be non-con'osive.
Fill and backfill should be spread in 6 to 8 inch loose lifts, moisture conditioned to within 2
percentage points of optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 90% relative
compaction. The upper 12 inches of fill and backfilt beneath pavements should be compacted to
at least 95% relative compaction. Fills constructed on existing slopes that are steeper than 5:1
should be keyed and benched into the existing hillside.
A substantial amount of residential and commercial development is planned in Carisbad and San
Marcos both east and west of Rancho Santa Fe Road. It is considered very likely that suitable fill
materials can be obtained from these properties, depending on project scheduling. Several
commercial quarries operate in San Marcos which will be able to provide good quality fiil materials.
Excess material from earthwork for the roadway probably can be hauled to nearby areas requiring
new fill when construction of the planned developments is undenway. Processing of the rock
derived from excavations in the Santiago Peak Volcanics will be needed before sizes suitable for
fill can be obtained.
5.3 EXCAVATION CONDITIONS
Anticipated excavation conditions along the new alignment are shown on Plate 1. The upper
colluvial and fill soils can be excavated with medium- to heavy-duty equipment. Areas where
excavations more than a few feet below existing grade probably will require blasting for efficient
removal of the rock are noted on Plate 1. Conditions are somewhat generalized, and local fill or
colluvium up to about four or five feet thick may overiie the hard rock at some locations within the
hard rock zones indicated. However, these materials are not expected to be extensive and would
not have a significant impact on excavation planning or excavation costs.
Local cemented zones and boulder-size unweathered corestones could be encountered in areas
where blasting has not been indicated as necessary on Plate 1. In some cases, local blasting may
be the more efficient method for removal, particularly if a blasting program already is in progress

on the alignment. Because the zones of hard materials in areas expected predominately to be
excavatable should be relatively limited, hydraulic rock breakers or jackhammers will be
appropriate at many locations.
5.4 ESTIMATING EARTHWORK QUANTITIES
A shrinkage of 5% is estimated for fills constructed using existing fill or colluvium. No shrink or
swell is anticipated for fills constructed using formational materials. Volcanic rock used in fill
construction is estimated to increase in volume by 5% to 10%, depending on the degree of
processing.
5.5 TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT SLOPES
5.5.1 Temporary Slopes
Temporary cut slopes in colluvium or fill should not be steeper than 1:1 (trorizontal to vertical).
Construction excavations in the crystalline rock generally can made at a 72.1 gradient from the
standpoint of overall slope stability. Temporary excavations in the Santiago Fonnation at the
southem end ofthe alignment are expected to be grossly stable at %:1. Variations in moisture,
texture or strength, as well as local geologic stmcture, may require flatter slopes in some areas.
Temporary excavations should be obsen/ed by the project engineering geologist to check for
adversely-oriented joints or planes of weakness that may necessitate flatter slopes or stnjctural
support locally.
5.5.2 Permanent Slopes
The following permanent cut slope inclinations can be used for preliminary design of the Rancho
Santa Fe Road realignment.

There is a potential that the volcanic rock could have joints or weak layers that would adversely
affect the stability of excavated slopes at the inclinations noted above. Cut slopes should be
examined by the engineering geologist to check for the presence of adverse bedding planes,

fractures, joints or other indications of potential instability. Slopes flatter than those indicated
above, or structural support, may be needed if planes of weakness or adverse bedding are
observed.
m
Slope faces should be planted to reduce the potential for erosion. Planting will be difficult to
establish and maintain on rock slopes. If topsoil is used to promote growth, significant erosion and
resultant maintenance should be anticipated, especially on the relatively steep slopes above, until
plants are well-established. Jute mesh or similar erosion control products can reduce the amount
of initial erosion. In general, susceptibility to erosion increases significantly on slopes steeper than
about 172:1.
The City of Carisbad Supplemental Standard No. GS-14 dated 4-20-93, "Grading of Slopes and
Required Setbacks," requires one minimum 20-foot wide bench at mid-height for cut slopes over
100 feet high. No bench is required for cut slopes less than 40 feet high. Cut slopes between 40
and 100 feet high apparently require drainage benches at 25-foot height intervals. From a
geotechnical standpoint, benching typically is not necessary for the stability of cut slopes in the
rocks anticipated along the Rancho Santa Fe Road realignment. However, benching will assist
vegetation growth, reduce erosion and may enhance the final appearance of high slopes. As
noted above, the potential presence of adversely-oriented bedding planes, fractures or joints may
necessitate benches or other methods of reducing the overall slope inclination.
Fill slopes should not be steeper than 2:1 in accordance with current geotechnical practice. The
City of Carisbad standards apparently require drainage benches at 25-foot height intervals on fill
slopes. Fill slopes over 100 feet high require 1,20-foot wide bench at mid-height, while slopes less
than 30 feet high do not require a bench. For this project, drainage benches approximately as
shown In the standards, or an equipment-width bench midway on slopes 100 feet high, if any,
would be appropriate to minimize erosion and promote vegetation growth.
5.6 RETAINING WALLS
5.6.1 Lateral Loads
Retaining walls capable of rotating 0.001 radian can be designed using active earth pressures.
Walls supporting level granular backflll should be designed for an active equivalent fluid pressure
of 35 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). Walls supporting backfill with a 2:1 slope should be designed
for an active equivalent fluid pressure of 55 pcf. Earth pressures for walls supporting backfill with
intermediate slopes can be interpolated between these values. Slopes steeper than 2:1 should
not be used behind retaining walls Traffic loads, where appropriate, can be modeled using a
surcharge equal to an additional 2 feet of soil.

I'M
Lateral loads will be resisted by friction between supporting soils and the bottoms of footings by
passive earth pressures acting on the sides of footings and other structural elements below grade.
A static horizontal friction factor of 0.45 can be used. Passive earth pressure against rock or
formational material can be taken as 400 pounds per square foot (psf) per foot of depth of
embedment below the lowest adjacent surface. Ifthe ground adjacent to the footing is not covered
with asphalt or concrete, the top 12 inches of soil should not be relied upon for passive support.
5.6.2 Wall Drainage
Retaining walls should be provided with adequate drainage systems incorporating backdrains or
weepholes. Backdrains should consist of a layer of free draining gravel or cnjshed rock at least
12 inches wide extending neariy the full height of the wall. A perforated pipe connected to an
appropriate outlet should be placed atthe bottom ofthe gravel or cnjshed rock. Weepholes should
not be spaced further than 8 feet apart. At least 1 cubic foot of gravel or cmshed rock should be
placed at the intake end of each weephole to reduce the potential for the migration of fines from
the backfill.
5.6.3 Wall Backfill
Backfill behind retaining walls should consist of imported fill or on-site materials conforming to the
recommendations in Section 5.2, Site Preparation and Grading. Backfill should be placed in lifts
6 to 8 inches in loose thickness, moisture conditioned to within 2 percentage points of optimum
moisture content and compacted to at least 90% relative compaction. The upper 12 inches of
backfill immediately behind the wall should consist of predominately clayey soil to reduce the rate
of surface water infiltration into the backdrain, if this type of drainage system is used. Where
moisture vapor penetration oreffloresence is considered a problem, commercial waterproofing or
a waterproofing membrane should be placed against the back wall in accordance with the
installatton procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
5.6.4 Foundation Support
Retaining walls, if any, likely will be supported in rock or formational materials. If existing fill,
colluvium or other unsuitable materials are encountered at planned footing grades, they should
be removed to competent formational material, as determined by the geotechnical engineer. The
resulting excavatton should be backfilled with approved granular fill compacted to at least 90%
relative compaction or lean concrete. Spread footings can be designed to impose an average
allowable bearing pressure of 4500 psf. This values is for dead plus long-term live loads and may
be increased by Vs when considering the total of alt loads, including seismic forces.

Retaining wall foundations area expected to bear in relatively hard rock or formational materials.
Foundation settlements are anticipated to be less than % inch.
5.7 FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT STRUCTURAL SECTIONS
An R-value test was performed on a sample considered representative of subgrade conditions iin
the upper, weathered portions ofthe volcanic rock. An R-vatue of 23 was obtained. Rock exposed
in deep cuts could have substantially better pavement support characteristics. Pavement structural
sections developed using a conservative R-value are suggested for design and cost estimating
purposes. If better materials are exposed during constmction, allowing the use of a reduced
pavement section, the destgn can be modified.
Using the laboratory R-Value test resutt of 23 and the Caltrans method of pavement design,
component thicknesses for various values of Traffic Index (Tl) were calculated and are shown
below. It is understood that Rancho Santa Fe Road is to be designed for a Tl of 9 and the
Connector Road for a Tl of 5. Pavement component thicknesses are given for the range of Tl
values likely to encompass traffic loads on the main roads and smaller streets, to enable selection
of the appropriate section if design Tis change.

The upper 12 inches of subgrade soil below the pavement section in the fill areas should be
compacted to at least 95% relative compaction at a moisture content wtthin 2 percent of the
optimum moisture content. Paved areas should be property sloped and surface drainage facilities
established to reduce water infiltration into the pavement subgrade. Curbs adjacent to paved
areas should have bases in the subgrade materials, not the aggregate base course, to provide
a cut-off to reduce water migration into the subgrade soils.
5.8 CORROSION POTENTIAL
Materials atong the southern section of the new Rancho Santa Fe Road alignment are highly
corrosive with respect to both steel and moderately corrosive with respect to concrete, based on
laboratory test results (Appendix D). Type II portiand cement should be used for concrete in
contact with the ground, but no special mix designs to resist sulfate or chloride attack are
considered necessary. Metallic conduit should be avoided, if possible. Epoxy coatings are not
considered necessary for reinforcing steet, but special attention should be paid to providing
adequate concrete cover over the steel reinforcement.
5.9 CULVERT SUPPORT
It is anticipated that culverts will be founded In embankment fill, colluvium, sedimentary rock or
crystalline rock. Culvert sizes and depths are not yet known. No special foundation considerations
are required. If saturated surficial soils are encountered, the excavation may need to be deepened
by 0.3 meters and a layer of gravel placed to provide a finm base and working platform. Where
culverts wilt be founded in volcanic rock, difficult excavation conditions may be encountered. The
volcanic rock is fractured and some overbreak may occur. Overbreak should be backfilled wKh
bedding material to final grades priorto placement ofthe culvert. Corrosion considerations are
discussed in Section 5.8.
6.0 GEOTECHNICAL AND CONSTRUCTION REVIEW
AEE should review project plans and specifications prior to foundation construction to evaluate
whether the intent ofthe geotechnical recommendations in this report have been incorporated.
It should be anticipated that the materials exposed during constmctton will differ from those
encountered in the borings. AEE's presence on-site during constmction will enable modifications
ofthe geotechnical recommendations in this report or development of additional recommendations
on a timely basis.

LABORATORY TESTING
The laboratory test program was designed to fit the specific needs of this project and was limited
to testing on-site materials. A brief description of each type of test is presented below. Test results
are included in Appendix A and in this appendix.
The in-situ dry densities and moisture contents were determined for numerous relatively
undisturbed samples. Results are listed in the boring logs in Appendix A adjacent to the sampie
tested.
Strength characteristics of the weathered rock were determined in the laboratory by direct shear
tests performed on one relatively undisturtied sampie. The sample was tested under 3 different
noimal loads in a 2.5-inch I.D. circular shear box, using a controlled displacement rate in general
accordance with ASTM D 3080. Results are summarized in Table D-1.
Resistance (R-value) testing was performed on one sample considered representative of potential
subgrade material. The test was performed in accordance with Califomia Test 301 procedures.
Results are in Table D-2.
The concentration of soluble sulfate was determined for one soil sample in accordance with
Califomia Test 417. The concentration of chloride ions was detemiined for the same sample in
accordance with Califomia Test 422. Con-osivity tests aiso were performed on this soil sample to
determine pH and minimum electrical resistance. The tests were conducted in accordance with
Califomia Test 643. Results of these tests are shown in Table D-3.
Sieve analyses were perfomied on 2 samples to evaluate the distribution of particle sizes in
accordance with ASTM D 422. Results are shown on Page D-3.

RE: ADDITIONAL SEISMIC REFRACTION SURVEYS
RANCHO SANTA FE ROAD
CARLSBAD. CALIFORNIA
Dear Mr. Bradbury:
This letter presents the results of AGRA Earth & Environmental's (AGRA's) additional seismic
refraction surveys performed for the Rancho Santa Fe Road Realignment project in Carlsbad,
California. Four seismic refraction surveys were performed originally as descnbed in AGRA s supplemental geotechnical report dated November 10,1998 (revised January 2M 999). Results
of seismic refraction surveys previously performed by Geocon, Inc. also are included in that report.
Locations of the additional survey lines, numbered S-1 a, S-2a, S-3a, S^a and S-5 through S-27
are indicated on Plate-1, attached. Lines S-1 through S-4 were performed as part of the previous
supplemental geotechnical investigation. Charts showing interpreted seismic velocity data and
approximate velocity depth changes for each of the 27 additional seismic refraction survey hnes
also are attached.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Sincerely yours,
