Report of Geotechnical Engineering Observations And Compaction Testing
Parking Lot Extension, 6125 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad. California (Drawing No. 486-5A
Submitted herewith please find the following summary report of geotechnical engineering
observations and compaction testing recently completed by our firm in connection with the
remedial and pad grading operations for the new parking lot extension at the above-referenced
property.
Overall, remedial grading operations for the project level parking improvement pad development
consisted of removal and recompaction of all loose and eroded dump fills at the southern vacant
lot areas, and excavation of deep erosional washout cavities, where they impacted the outer zone
of the pre-existing slope face. A toe keyway with a heed back drainage system was developed at
the base of the new fill slope along the southern perimeter. The project also included various
trench backfill operations. Trench backfilling, slope reconstruction and stabilization and parking
lot pad extension remedial grading operations were performed under engineering observations
and compaction testing services periodically provided by this office from July 13, 2016 to
November 8, 2016. The approximate limits of remedial grading works for the parking lot pad
extension development with pertinent as-graded geotechnical information are shown on the
enclosed Approximate Compaction Tests Location Map, reproduced from the project grading
plans (Sheet 4 of 8) prepared by Hofman Planning & Engineering, dated August 11, 2016.

GECTECHMCAL.CONDITiONS
Geotechnical conditions at the project parking lot pad expansions and pre-existing southern
margins graded slope were found to be substantially the same as described in the referenced
reports. In general pre-remedial grading conditions consisted of loose and eroded dump fills at
the southern vacant lot areas and an irregular slope face impacted by mud-flow and slump
sliding failures. Compacted fills and dense Terrace Deposits mostly underlaid the upper surficial
deposits.
H
Subsurface profile, as encountered during the project remedial grading works, also remained
substantially the same as presented in the referenced reports. Locally, deeper excavations
extended at least 3 feet below the slope toe elevations did not encounter suitable bottom of
m keyway, and earth reinforcement geogrid (TerraGrid RX- 1200) was needed to stabilize the
exposed soft natural ground receiving new fills. Import sandy soils (SM/SW) were needed to
complete grading and achieve final design grades.
GROUND PREPARATION AND REMEDIAL GRADING OPERATIONS
Prior to the remedial grading operations, surface vegetation and debris were removed and
cleared for the site, as appropriate. All existing loose and eroded dump fills at the southern
vacant lot were stripped and removed to the underlying dense and competent Terrace Deposits or
well compacted fill. Erosional slump failure features from within the outer slope face and
washout cavities, where they occurred, were also entirely excavated out as a part of stripping and
removal operations to expose competent natural Terrace Deposits.
A toe keyway was developed at the base of the new compacted fill slope along the southern
margins, as approximately mapped on the enclosed Approximate Compaction Tests Location
Map. The keyway was at least 15 feet wide, extended at least 3 feet below the toe elevation and
heeled back a minimum of 5% into the natural hillside. Earth reinforcement geogrid (TerraGrid
7

Parking Lot Extension, 6125 Pasco Del Norte, Carlsbad, California Page 3
RX- 1200) was used to stabilize bottom of the keyway excavations, where soft natural ground
was exposed at the depth of 3 feet below the toe elevations. Additional level benches were also
developed into the natural hill side as the remedial grading and parlçing improvement
construction progressed. All exposed keyway, subsequent benches and removal bottoms were
visually examined, probed and tested as necessary, to assure dense to 'compacted existing fills or
stable and competent Terrace Deposits, or stabilized ground surfaces suitable for receiving new
fills. A subsurface heel back drain consisting of a 4-inch perforated (SDR 35) pipe surrounded
with Y4-crushed rocks and wrapped in Mirafi 140N filter fabric material was installed in a bench
above the toe keyway near the contact with the Terrace Deposits. Solid 4-inch diameter lateral
outlet pipes (SDR 35) were provided to remove the collected subsurface water out onto
designated discharge locations, as approximately delineated on the attached Approximate
Compaction Tests Location Map.
All debris and broken concrete pieces encountered in the dump fills were properly screened and
removed using an excavator with a skeleton bucket. Import soils were necessary to complete
grading and achieve final design rough finish subgrade. Import soils mostly consisted of sandy
to silty sandy materials (SM/SW) deposits. Site new fills were properly processed and moisture
conditioned to near or slightly above (approximately 2%) optimum moisture levels,
manufactured into a uniform mixture, placed in thin (approximately 8 inches thick) horizontal
lifts and mechanically compacted with heavy construction equipments consisting of a bulldozer
(DGT 550), an excavator (330) with a sheepsfoot wheel and a compactor to at least 90% of the
corresponding laboratory maximum density per ASTM D-1557. A hand-walker was used for
compacting selected areas and tight corners behind the upper short retaining walls. Water was
provided with a fire hose.
11 Periodic engineering observation of the grading operations and compaction testing of the fills
placed within the graded areas was provided by this offie from July 132016 through November
8, 2016. Approximate limits of grading works and compacted fills, field compaction test
locations and pertinent elevations including bottom of keyway elevations, as roughly established
in the field by a hand level and pacing/tap measure form staking provided by others, or relative
to identifiable features located at the site and noted on the project plans are shown on the
enclosed Approximate Compaction Tests Location Map. .
rn Site preparation and rough parking improvement pad grading were conducted in substantial
conformance with Chapter 18 (Soils and Foundations) and Appendix "J" (Grading) of the 2013
California Building Code (CBC), the Grading Ordinance for the City of Carlsbad, the
m requirements of the project soil report(s) referenced herein and our field recommendations,
where applicable and as appropriate. All observations and testing were conducted by a
representative from this office under direct supervision of the project geotechnical engineering.
Field density tests establishing both the in-place dry densities and moisture contents were
performed in accordance with the ASTM D1556 sand cone test method, and Nuclear Gauge
m Method ASTM D6938 as the fill placement progressed. Test locations were placed to provide
the best possible coverage. Areas of low compaction, as indicated by the field density tests,
I
Report of Geotechnical Engineering Observations and Compaction Testing Dec. 19, 2016
Parking Lot Extension, 6125 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad, California Page 4
were brought to the attention of the project contractor. These areas were reworked by the
contractor and retested.
Engineering observations and compaction test results indicated that the fills within the approved
m areas (see limits of grading on the enclosed Approximate Compaction 'Tests Location Map) were
properly placed and compacted to at least 90% of the corresponding maximum dry density at the
tested locations and are suitable for their intended use.'
LABORATORY TESTING
Pertaining maximum dry density and optimum moisture content tests (ASTM D1557) were
obtained from prior geotechnical investigation reports (see references) and from additional tests
performed on new soil mixture or import soils. Test results are summarized in the enclosed
Maximum Dry Density and Optimum Moisture Content 'Test Results sheet.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In our opinion, site excavations, remedial and parking extension pad grading operations, slope
stabilization, fill placement and compaction procedures, and trench backfllling was completed in
substantial conformance with the project approved plans, Geotechnical Investigation and
subsequent plan review and update reports, applicable codes, and are acceptable for their
intended use.
Site conditions, earth materials and engineering properties of the compacted fills substantially
remain the same as reported in the referenced reports. All conclusions and recommendations
including soil design parameters, geotechnical pavement structural section and improvement
designs provided in the referenced Geotechnical Investigation report Project No. GI-12-14-34,
dated 'February 10, 2015 (Reference 4) and subsequent "Proposed Pervious Paving, New Parking
Improvements, 6125 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad, California," Project No. FC-15-10-38, dated
September 28, 2015 (Reference 2) will stay unchanged, as specified therein and should be
considered in the final designs and, implemented during the Ofinal paving construction phase,
where applicable and as appropriate. The following are also appropriate:
The bio-retention basin at the north corner of the parking improvement pad was provided
with an impervious geomembrane on the sides and bottom, and a 6-inch diameter
perforated underdrain pipe, as shown on the project plans. Consequently, the
recommended "cut-off' wall between the bio-retention basin and building was
eliminated, on a condition that periodic maintenance and upkeep of the project bio-
retention basins and site storm drainage system are carried out, as necessary, to assure
proper performance, as intended.
2. Asphalt and PICP pavement minimum structural section designs will remain the as
I specified in the referenced report. R-value conformation testing of finish subgrade soils
should be considered to verify asphalt pavement structural section designs.

Actual asphalt pavement structural section design should be established based R-value
testing of finish rough subgrade soils. As a minimum, a pavement structural section
consisting of at least 4 inches asphalt on 6 inches Caltrans Class 2 aggregate base, or the
minimum structural section required by City of Carlsbad, whichever is more, may be
considered for the onsite asphalt parking stalls and interior drive lanes, outside the
private and public right-of-way. The asphalt concrete layer (4-inch total section) may
consist of 2.5 inches of a binder/base course (3%-inch aggregate), and 1.5 inches of finish
top course (½-inch aggregate) topcoat, placed in accordance with the City of Carlsbad
requirements and applicable local and regional codes and standards. The Class 2
aggregate base (AB) shall meet or exceed the requirements set forth in the current
California Standard Specification (Caltrans Section 26-1.02A).
Aggregate base (AB) materials should be compacted to .a minimum 95% of the
corresponding maximum dry density (ASTM D-1557). Subgrade soils beneath the
asphalt paving surfaces should also be compacted to a minimum 95% of the
corresponding maximum dry density within the upper 12 inches.
Base layer under curb and gutters should also be compacted to a minimum of 95%, while
subgrade soils under curb and gutters, and base and subgrade under sidewalks should be
compacted to a minimum of 90% compaction levels, unless otherwise specified, or
required by the City of Carlsbad. -

2. Foundations and Trench Backifils: Engineering observations or testing will also be
required for the following work prior to foundation/concrete pour and asphalt placement:
Observe the plumbing, storm drain and utility trenches after the pipes are laid during
11 backfilhing. Backfill soils within all trenches shall be compacted by mechanical
means to a minimum of 90% of the corresponding maximum dry density, unless
otherwise specified or approved. All trench backfills within the public right-of-way
shall be mechanically compacted to minimum of 95% compaction levels. Jetting or
flooding of the backfill as a compaction method shall not be allowed. Care should be
taken not to crush the utilities or pipes during the compaction of the trench backfill.
Test the plumbing and storm drain trenches beneath the site improvements and
paving surfaces for the minimum compaction requirements.
Observe the bottom of the footing trenches for site improvements including but not
limited to light poles and fence posts to verify proper embedment (minimum
horizontal distance from bottom outside edge of foundation to daylight), compaction
• levels, and minimum design widths and embedment.
3. Fine Grading and Improvements:
• a) Observe placement and perform compaction testing for fills placed under any
conditions 12-inches or more in depth, to include:
Parking extension pad contour grading.
Driveway, street and site improvements, sidewalks, curbs and gutters.
Retaining wall backfllls.
Spreading or placement of soil obtained from any excavation (spoils from
footings, underground utilities, etc.).
b) Observation and testing of subgrade in the perimeter side yards, and beneath patios,
sidewalks, etc., prior to placement of concrete. The subgrade soils should be

VII. DRAINAGE V
*
, V
The owner/developer is responsible for insuring adequate measures are taken to properly finish
grade the pad after the structures and other improvements are in-place so that the drainage waters
from the graded pad and improved site as well as adjacent properties are directed away from the
new building foundations and top of slope.
Drainage swales should be constructed at the top all graded slopes and shown on the approved
drawings. The finished slope should be planted soon,after completion of grading. Unprotected
slope faces will be subject to severe erosion and should not be allowed. Over-watering of the
slope faces should also not be allowed. Only the amount of water to sustain vegetation should be
provided.
'A minimum of 2% gradient should be maintained away from all foundations and top of slopes.
Roof gutters and downspouts should be installed and all discharge from downspouts should be
led away from the foundations and slab to a suitable location. Install area drains in 'the yards for
collection and disposal of surface water. A well-established monitoring program should be, set
up for periodic maintenance and continuos upkeep of the project BMP bio-retention facilities
and storm drainage system.
Planter areas adjacent to foundations should be provided with damp/water proofing, using an
impermeable liner against the footings, and a sub-drainage system, if appropriate. Site and
building type retaining walls should be provided a well-constructed back drain as specified in the
project soil report(s). Planting large trees behind site retaining walls and building foundations
should be avoided.
It should be noted that shallow groundwater conditions may develop in areas where no such
conditions existed prior to site development. This can be contributed to by substantial increases
of surface water infiltration resulting from landscape irrigation which was not present prior to
the site redevelopment. It is almost impossible to absolutely prevent the possibility of shallow
water conditions developed from excessive landscape irrigation over the entire site. Therefore,
we recommend that shallow water conditions, if developed, be immediately remedied.
The property owner(s) should be made aware that altering drainage patterns, landscaping, the
addition of patios, planters, and other improvements, as well as over-irrigation and variations in
seasonal rainfall, all affect subsurface moisture conditions, which in turn affect structural and
overall slope performance.

VIII. LIMITATIONS
Our description of grading operations, as well as observations and testing servies herein, is
limited to pad remedial grading operations performed periodically from July 13 to November 8,
2016. The recommendations provided herein have been based on Our field observations and
testing as noted. No representations are made as to the quality or extent of materials not
observed and tested.
All geotechnical information, test location and mapping on the enclosed Approximate
Compaction Tests Location Map are based on rough field measurements for the purpose of
geotechnical presentations only.
Surface run-off and captured water in the bio-retention basin should be directed into the storm
water disposal facilities in a continuously uninterrupted controlled manner. Periodic
maintenance and monitoring of the, project bio-retention basin and storm drainage system will be
necessary and should be carried out by qualified personnel to assure proper performance, as
intended. Should any saturated ground conditions or a potential for adverse impacts are noted,
maintenance and repairs should immediately be implemented as necessary and appropriate. Poor
bio-retention basin facility and storm drainage system performance or failure can potentially
result in consequential slope, improvements and structural failures and shall not be allowed.
Storm and surface run off water should not be allowed to impact or saturate graded surfaces, fi natural and graded embankment faces, backfihls, and bearing and subgrade soils. Concentrated
run off, which could cause erosion or scouring, should not be allowed to develop over the graded
areas. Over-watering of site vegetation should also not be allowed. Only the amount of water to
sustain vegetation should be provided.
This report is issued with the understanding that the owner or his representative is responsible
OR for ensuring that the information and recommendations are provided to the project
architect/structural engineer and respective contractors so that they can be incorporated into the
U plans and implemented at the site. Necessary steps shall be taken to ensure that the project
general contractor and subcontractors carry out such recommendations during construction.
The project geotechnical engineer should also be provided the opportunity to field verify the
foundation trenching and foundations/slab steel reinforcement prior to placing concrete. If the
project geotechnical engineer is not provided the opportunity of making these reviews and
observations, he can assume no responsibility for misinterpretation of his recommendations.
This report should be considered valid for permit purposes for a period of six months and is
subject to review by our firm following that time. IF ANY CHANGES ARE MADE IN THE
FINAL PAD SIZE, LINES AND GRADES, BUILDING LOCATION, ELEVATIONS, ETC.,
PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION, THIS REPORT WILL BECOME INVALID AND
FURTHER ENGINEERiNG AND RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BECOME NECESSARY
