FINAL REPORT OF TESTING AND OBSERVATION
SERVICES PERFORMED DURING SITE GRADING
Gentlemen:
In accordance with your request and our proposal dated June 10, 2002 (LG-02256), we have provided
compaction testing services during grading of the property. Our services were performed during the
period of September 20 and December 11, 2002. The scope of our services included the following:
I Observing the grading operation including the removal and/or processing of topsoil and
alluvium, the undercutting of cut/fill transition lots, and the placement of compacted fill soils.
Performing in-place density tests in fill placed and compacted at the site.
Performing laboratory tests to aid in evaluating maximum dry density and optimum moisture
I content and shear strength of the compacted fill soils. Additionally, laboratory tests were
performed on samples of soil present at finish grade to evaluate expansion characteristics and
water-soluble sulfate content.
I • Preparing an As-Graded Geologic Map.
Preparing this final report of grading.
GENERAL
I The Tabata Property is located east of Black Rail Road, south of the Ryland Homes Encatada project
and west of Cabela Road in Carlsbad, California. The grading contractor for the project was Astleford
Construction Incorporated. Grading plans for the project were prepared by O'Day Consultants and
are entitled Grading Plans For: Carlsbad Tract 00-13, with City of Carlsbad approval date of
I August 26 and September 3, 2002. The project soils report is entitled Geotechnical Investigation (for)
Tabata Property, Carlsbad, California, prepared by Geocon Incorporated, dated September 18, 2002
(Project No. 06542-52-02).

References to elevations and locations presented herein were based on the surveyor's or grade
checker's stakes in the field and/or interpolation from the referenced grading plans. Geocon
Incorporated does not provide surveying services and, therefore, has no opinion regarding the
accuracy of the as-graded elevations or surface geometry with respect to the approved grading plans
or proper surface drainage.
GRADING
Grading of the Tabata Property began with removing and exporting brush and vegetation from the
area to be graded. Topsoil and alluvium were then removed to expose formational material. Within
areas to receive fill, the exposed formational soil was then scarified, moisture conditioned, and
compacted. Fill soils derived from on-site excavations were then placed and compacted in layers until
the design elevations were attained. In addition, fill soils were placed and compacted during the
construction of crib walls located along the perimeter of the property. The formational portion of
those lots that possessed a cut/fill transition was overexcavated approximately 3 feet and replaced
with compacted fill soil. In general, the on-site fill materials consisted of clayey to silty sands.
During the grading operations, compaction procedures were observed and in-place density tests were
performed to evaluate the dry density and moisture content of the fill soils. The in-place density tests
were performed in general conformance with ASTM Test Method D 2922-96 (nuclear). The results
of the in-place dry density and moisture content tests are summarized on Table I. In general, the in-
place density test results indicate that the fill soils have a dry density of at least 90 percent of the
laboratory maximum dry density near to slightly above optimum moisture content at the locations
tested.
Laboratory tests were performed on selected soil samples to evaluate moisture-density relationships,
maximum dry density and optimum moisture content (ASTM D 1557-00), expansion characteristics
(ASTM D 4829-95), shear strength (ASTM D 3080-98), and water-soluble sulfate content (California
Test 417). The results of the laboratory tests are summarized in Tables II through V.
I Slopes
I Cut and fill slopes were constructed at design inclinations of 2:1 (horizontal: vertical) or flatter, with
maximum heights of approximately 25 feet. All slopes should be planted, drained, and maintained to
I reduce erosion. Slope irrigation should be kept to a minimum to just support the vegetative cover.
Surface drainage should not be allowed to flow over the top of the slope or over crib walls.

I Finish Grade Soil Conditions
I Observations and laboratory test results indicate that the prevailing soil conditions within 3 feet of
finish grade on the subject lots have an Expansion Index of 20 or less and are classified as having a
"very low" expansion potential as defined by Uniform Building Code (UBC) 1997 Table 18-I-B.
I Table VI presents a Summary Of Finish Grade Expansion Index Test Results of the prevailing
subgrade soil conditions for each lot.
SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
The soil and geologic conditions encountered during grading were found to be similar to those
described in the project geotechnical report. Compacted fill soil (Qcf) was placed in fill areas and
undercut lots (Quc) to achieve finish grade. The Lindavista Formation (Qln) is exposed on cut lots
and slopes. Table VII presents a Summary of As-Graded Building Pad Conditions for each lot. The
enclosed As-Graded Geologic Map depicts the general geologic conditions observed. No soil or
geologic conditions were observed during grading which would preclude the continued development
of the property as planned.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1.0 General
1.1 Based on observations and test results, it is the opinion of Geocon Incorporated that the
grading to which this report pertains has been performed in substantial conformance with
the recommendations of the referenced geotechnical report dated September 18, 2002. Soil
and geologic conditions encountered during grading that differ from those anticipated by
the project soil report are not uncommon. Where such conditions required a significant
modification to the recommendations of the geotechnical report, they have been described
herein.
2.0 Future Grading
2.1 Any additional grading and backfill performed at the site should be accomplished in
conjunction with our observation and compaction testing services. Geocon Incorporated
should review grading plans for any future grading prior to finalizing. All trench and wall
backfill should be compacted to a dry density of at least 90 percent of the laboratory
maximum dry density near to slightly above optimum moisture content. This office should
be notified at least 48 hours prior to commencing any additional grading or backfilling
operations.

1 3.0 Corrosion Potential
3.1 Laboratory tests were performed on samples of the site soils to determine the percentage of
water-soluble sulfate. Results from the laboratory water-soluble sulfate tests are presented
in Table V and indicate that the soils tested possess a "negligible" sulfate exposure as
defined by UBC Table 19-A-4.
3.2 Geocon Incorporated does not practice in the field of corrosion engineering. Therefore, if
improvements that could be susceptible to corrosion are planned, it is recommended that
further evaluation by a corrosion engineer be performed.
4.0 Seismic Design Criteria
4.1 Table 4 summarizes seismic design parameters obtained from the 1997 Uniform Building
Code (UBC) Table 16-J for Soil Profile Type Sc which is prevalent on this project. Table 4
presents a summary of Seismic Design Parameters for each lot. The values listed in Table 4
are for the Rose Canyon Fault, which is identified as a Type B fault and is more dominant
than the nearest Type A fault due to its close proximity to the site. The Rose Canyon Fault
is located approximately 5 miles west of the site. Table VIII presents a Summary of Soil
Profile Type for each lot.

1 5.0 Foundations
5.1 The foundation recommendations that follow are for one- or two-story residential
I structures and are separated into categories dependent on the thickness and geometry of the
underlying fill soils as well as the Expansion Index of the prevailing subgrade soils of a
I particular building pad (or lot). The recommended minimum foundation and interior
concrete slab design criteria for each Category is presented on Table 5.1. Table IX presents
a Summary of Recommended Foundation Category for each lot.

Category I: Maximum fill thickness is less than 20 feet and Expansion Index is less than or
equal to 50.
Category H: Maximum fill thickness is less than 50 feet and Expansion Index is less than or
equal to 90, or variation in fill thickness is between 10 feet and 20 feet.
Category ifi: Fill thickness exceeds 50 feet, or variation in fill thickness exceeds 20 feet, or
Expansion Index exceeds 90, but is less than 130.
Notes:
All footings should have a minimum width of 12 inches.
Footing depth measured from lowest adjacent subgrade.
All interior living area concrete slabs should be at least four inches thick for Categories I and II
and 5 inches thick for Category ifi.
All interior concrete slabs should be underlain by at least 4 inches (3 inches for 5-inch slabs) of
clean sand or crushed rock.
All slabs expected to receive moisture sensitive floor coverings or used to store moisture
sensitive materials should be underlain by a vapor barrier covered with at least 2 inches of the
clean sand recommended in No. 4 above.
5.2 Foundations for Category I, II, or ifi may be designed for an allowable soil bearing
pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) (dead plus live loads). This bearing pressure
may be increased by one-third for transient loads 'Eue to wind or seismic forces.
5.3 Isolated footings located beyond the perimeter of the building and supporting structural
elements connected to the building are not recommended for Category ifi. 'Where this
condition cannot be avoided, the isolated footings should be connected to the building
foundation system with steel-reinforced grade beams.
1 5.4 For Foundation Category III, consideration should be given to using interior stiffening
I beams and connecting isolated footings and/or increasing the slab thickness. In addition,

I consideration should be given to connecting patio slabs that exceed 5 feet in width to the
building foundation to reduce the potential for future separation to occur.
5.5 No special subgrade presaturation is deemed necessary prior to placing concrete, however,
I the exposed foundation and slab subgrade soils should be moistened as necessary to
maintain a moist condition as would be expected in any such concrete placement.
5.6 Where buildings or other improvements are planned near the top of a slope steeper than 3:1
(honzontal:vertical), special foundations and/or design considerations are recommended
due to the tendency for lateral soil movement to occur.
For fill slopes less than 20 feet high, building footings should be deepened such
I that the bottom outside edge of the footing is at least 7 feet horizontally from the
face of the slope.
I . Where the height of the fill slope exceeds 20 feet, the minimum horizontal distance
should be increased to H13 (where H equals the vertical distance from the top of
the slope to the toe) but need not exceed 40 feet. For composite (fill over cut)
I slopes, H equals the vertical distance from the top of the slope to the bottom of the
fill portion of the slope. An acceptable alternative to deepening the footings would
be the use of a post-tensioned slab and foundation system or increased footing and
I 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.
I . For cut slopes in dense formational materials, or fill slopes inclined at 3:1 (hori-
zontal: vertical) or flatter, the bottom outside edge of building footings should be at
I
.least 7 feet horizontally inside the face of the slope, regardless of slope height.
. If swimming pools are planned Geocon Incorporated should be contacted for a
I
review of specific site conditions.
Although other relatively rigid or brittle improvements such as concrete flatwork
or masonry walls may experience some distress if located near the top of a slope, it
is generally not economical to mitigate this potential. It may be possible, however,
to incorporate design measures that would permit some lateral soil movement
without causing extensive distress. Geocon Incorporated should be consulted for
specific recommendations.
5.7 As an alternative to the foundation recommendations for each category, post-tensioned
I concrete slab and foundation systems may be used for the support of the proposed
structures. The post-tensioned systems should be designed by a structural engineer
I experienced in post-tensioned slab design and design criteria of the Post-Tensioning
Institute (IJBC Section 1816). Although this procedure was developed for expansive soils,
it can also be used to reduce the potential for foundation distress due to differential fill

settlement. The post-tensioned design should incorporate the geotechnical parameters
presented on the following table entitled Post-Tensioned Foundation System Design
Parameters for the particular Foundation Category designated.

5.8 UBC Section 1816 uses interior stiffener beams in its structural design procedures. If the
Structural Engineer proposes a post-tensioned foundation design method other than UBC
Section 1816, it is recommended that interior stiffener beams be used for Foundation
Categories II and III. The depth of the perimeter foundation should be at least 12 inches for
Foundation Category I. Where the Expansion Index for a particular building pad exceeds
50 but is less than 90, the perimeter footing depth should be at least 18 inches; and where it
exceeds 90 but is less than 130, the perimeter footing depth should be at least 24 inches.
Geocon Incorporated should be consulted to provide additional design parameters as
required by the Structural Engineer.
5.9 Where exterior flatwork abuts the structure at entrant or exit areas, the exterior slab should
be dowelled into the structure's foundation stemwall. This recommendation is intended to
reduce the potential for differential elevations that could result from differential settlement
or minor heave of the flatwork. Dowelling details should be designed by the project
structural engineer.
5.10 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 recommendations
I

I
I
I presented herein, foundations, stucco walls, and slabs-on-grade placed on such conditions
may still exhibit some cracking due to soil movement and/or shrinkage. The occurrence of
1 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
I concrete placement and curing, and by the placement of crack control joints at periodic
intervals, in particular, where re-entrant slab corners occur.
6.0 Retaining Walls and Lateral Loads
6.1 Retaining walls not restrained at the top and having a level backfill surface should be
I 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 no steeper than 2:1
I (horizontal: vertical), 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 50 or less. For
I those lots with finish grade soils having an Expansion Index greater than 50 and/or where
backfill materials do not conform to the above criteria, Geocon Incorporated should be
consulted for additional recommendations.
I 6.2 Unrestrained walls are those that are allowed to rotate more than 0.00111 (where H equals
the height of the retaining wall portion of the wall in feet) at the top of the wall. Where
walls are restrained from movement at the top, an additional uniform pressure of 7H psf
I should be added to the above active soil pressure.
I 6.3 All retaining walls should be provided with a drainage system adequate to prevent the
buildup of hydrostatic forces and should be waterproofed as required by the project
architect. The use of drainage openings through the base of the wall (weep holes) is not
I recommended where the seepage could be a nuisance or otherwise adversely impact the
property adjacent to the base of the wall. The above recommendations assume a properly
I . compacted granular (Expansion Index of 50 or less) backfill material with no hydrostatic
forces or imposed surcharge load. If conditions different than those described are
anticipated, or if specific drainage details are desired, Geocon Incorporated should be
I contacted for additional recommendations.
1 6.4 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
I . below the base of the wall has an Expansion Index of 50 or less. The proximity of the
foundation to the top of a slope steeper than 3:1 could impact the allowable soil bearing
pressure. Therefore, Geocon Incorporated should be consulted where such a condition is
I anticipated.
I Project No. 06542-52-03 - 8 - December 17, 2002
I
6.5 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
I compacted granular fill soils or undisturbed natural soils. The allowable passive pressure
assumes a horizontal surface extending away from the base of the wall at least 5 feet or
I 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. A friction coefficient of 0.4 may be used for resistance to
I sliding between soil and concrete. This friction coefficient may be combined with the
allowable passive earth pressure when determining resistance to lateral loads.
6.6 The recommendations presented above are generally applicable to the design of rigid
concrete or masonry retaining walls having a maximum height of 8 feet. In the event that
I walls higher than 8 feet or other types of walls are planned, such as crib-type walls, Geocon
Incorporated should be consulted for additional recommendations.
1 7.0 Slope Maintenance
7.1 Slopes that are steeper than 3:1 (horizontal: vertical) may, under conditions that are difficult
to prevent and predict, be susceptible to near surface (surficial) slope instability. The
I instability is typically limited to the outer three feet of a portion of the slope and usually
does not directly impact the improvements on the pad areas above or below the slope. The
occurrence of surficial instability is more prevalent on fill slopes and is generally preceded
I by a period of heavy rainfall, excessive irrigation, or the migration of subsurface seepage.
The disturbance and/or loosening of the surficial soils, as might result from root growth,
I soil expansion, or excavation for irrigation lines and slope planting, may also be a signifi-
cant contributing factor to surficial instability. It is, therefore, recommended that, to the
maximum extent practical: (a) disturbed/loosened surficial soils be either removed or
I properly recompacted, (b) irrigation systems be periodically inspected and maintained to
eliminate leaks and excessive irrigation, and (c) surface drains on and adjacent to slopes be
I periodically maintained to preclude ponding or erosion. Although the incorporation of the
above recommendations should reduce the potential for surficial slope instability, it will
not eliminate the possibility, and, therefore, it may be necessary to rebuild or repair a
I portion of the project's slopes in the future.
1 8.0 Drainage
8.1 Adequate drainage provisions are critical to future performance of the project. Under no
I 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
I
I Project No. 06542-52-03 -9- December 17, 2002
I
that drainage water is directed away from foundations, pavements, concrete slabs, and
slope tops to controlled drainage devices.
8.2 All underground utilities should be leak free. Utility and irrigation lines should be checked
I periodically for leaks for early detection of water infiltration and detected leaks should be
repaired promptly. Detrimental soil movement could occur if water is allowed to infiltrate
the soil for a prolonged period of time.
I
8.3 Landscaping planters adjacent to paved areas are not recommended due to the potential for
I surface or irrigation water to infiltrate the pavement's subgrade and base course. Surface
drains to collect excess irrigation water and transmit it to drainage structures, or impervious
above-grade planter boxes should be used. In addition, where landscaping is planned
I adjacent to the pavement, a cutoff wall should be provided along the edge of the pavement
and should extend at least 6 inches below the bottom of the base material.
I LIMITATIONS
I The conclusions and recommendations contained herein apply only to our work with respect to the
grading of the site and represents conditions at the date of our final observation dated December 11,
I 2002. Any subsequent grading should be done in conjunction with our observation and testing
services. As used herein, the term "observation" implies only that we observed the progress of the
work with which we agreed to be involved. Our services did not include the evaluation or
I identification of the potential presence of hazardous materials. Our conclusions and opinions as to
whether the work essentially complies with the job specifications are based on our observations,
I experience, and test results. Subsurface conditions, and the accuracy of tests used to measure such
conditions, can vary greatly at any time. We make no warranty, express or implied, except that our
services were performed in accordance with engineering principles generally accepted at this time
I and location.
I We will accept no responsibility for any subsequent changes made to the site by others, by the
uncontrolled action of water, or by the failure of others to properly repair damages caused by the
I
uncontrolled action of water. The findings and recommendations 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.

Corresponds to curve numbers listed in Table II, representing the laboratory
maximum dry density/optimum moisture content data for selected fill soil samples
encountered during testing and observation.
- ROCK CORRECTION
For density tests with rock percentage greater than zero, laboratory maximum dry density and optimum
moisture content were adjusted for rock content. For tests with rock content equal to zero, laboratory
maximum dry density and optimum moisture content values listed are then unadjusted values.
