The' property is known as: Assessor's Parcel No. 212-040-50, in the 'City of
Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California. . . .' .
The site, consisting of approximately 18 acres, is located approximately 1/4-mile
south of Palomar Airport Road at Cobblestone Road and Sapphire Drive, in the City
of Carlsbad The property is bordered on the north by undeveloped land, on the
south by .the Greystone/Cobblestone 'residential development; on the east by similar
undeveloped land and Sapphire Drive; and on the west by -Cobblestone Road.
.Proposed -,Emerald Pointe Estates Job No.. 9767189
Carlsbad, California Page 3
The site is presently u-ndeveloped, and was previously cultivated for agricultural
purpOses. Access to the site is provided from the Greystone/Cobblestone
residential development on Sapphire Drive. High tension power transmission lines
extend :approxim.atel'/ north to,south through the extreme northwest, portion of the
site. A large depression exists in the northwest portion of the site that may have
been a former water: storage reservoir. The.-depression is approximately 140 feet
long by .60 feet-wide and 10 feet deep. Acut was made on the uphill, side and a fill
slope constructed. on the downhill side; Vegetation on the site consists primarily'of
wild.-grasses on flat areas, with some' thick shrubbery 'and chaparral on the slope
The property' slopes moderately to steeply down to 'the north and west from a
gently sloping ridge top in the southern, portion of the property. Approximate
elevations across the 'site range from a high of 262 feet above mean sea level
(MSL) to a low of 100 feet .MSL. Survey information concerning elevations across
the' investigated portion of the site was obtained from topographic maps and
preliminary grading plans by BHA, Inc., dated -November 18, 1997, and a Revised
Tentative "Map prepared by Hunsaker and Associates, dated February 5, 2002.
III. FIELD INVESTIGATION
Our field investigation, 'conducted on January 23, 1998, consisted of 'a geologic
reconnaissance of the site and surrounding terrain, plus the excavation of 11
tractor-mounted backhoe trenches. The excavations were located in the field by
referring to a preliminary, grading 'plan prepared byBHA, Inc.,' dated November. 18,.
1997. The trenches, were -observed and logged by. our Engineering Geologist, and
samples were taken of the-predominant soils throughout the field operation. Trench
logs 'have been prepared. on the basis of our observations and' the results hav'e been

summarized on Figure No. II. The predominant soils have, been classified in
conformance with the Unified Soil Classification System (refer to Appendix A).
IV. FIELD AND.LABORATORY TESTS
Field and laboratory tests were performed on the soils in 'order to evaluate thir
physical and mechanical properties and.their ability, to support the proposed
residential structures, streets and 'irnprovemeflts'. The .following tests were
conducted on'the sampled soils.
•Móisturè/bensity Relations (ASTM D155,7-91; Method A)
Moisture Content (ASTM D2216-92)
.. Mechanical Analysis (4STM D4229O)
'Expansion Test (UBC Method 29-2)
.Density' Measurement ASTM D11,88-'84 and D2937-83)
Consolidation 'Tests (ASTM D2435-90)..
'The relationship between the moisture and density of the soil gives qualitative
information regarding the soil strength characteristics and soil conditions to 'be
anticipated during' the proposed grading operation.
The mechanical analysis 'and Atterberg Linit tests We're used to aid' 'in the
classification of the 'soils according to the'LJ'ni'fi'ed'Soil 'Classification System and for
the liquefaction potential analysis.
The 'expansion potential of the 'on-site soils was evaluated utilizing 'the Uniform
Building Code Test Method for Expansion. Soils (UBC Standard No. 2972). In
accordance with the.UBC (Table 18-1-B), expansive soils are classified as follows:

EXPANSION INDEX POTENTIAL EXPANSION
0 to 20 Very low
21t050 'Low'
51 to 90 Medium
91 to 130 High
Abäve 130 Very high
Based'on our laboratory analysis, the On-site soils tested can be classified as havihg
a very high ex5añsion potential, with a maximumtested expansion index of 198 It
should be noted-that the expansion potential at existing soil moisture contents is
medium, 'with tested expansion potential :ranging from 65 to 9.0 percent of the
sample height, which would roughly correspond to an Expansion Index between 51
and ,..90. The expänsive soils will require, proper moisture, conditioning and
compaction to help reduce expansion potential.
consolidation tests were performed .on relatively undisturbed samples of 'the
existing natural-ground soils. The consolidation test aids in evaluating, whether
there is significant settlement potential of the existing. soils under the anticipated.
loads and proposed surcharge loads Results of laboratory testing can be found on
Figure No. III. '
Based on the above laboratory test data, observations of the primary soil types on
:the project, and our previous experience with laboratory* testing of similar soils, our
Géotchnical 'Engineer has assigne-d values'fbr friction angle, coefficient of friction,
and cohesion to those soils which will have significant lateral support or bearing
functions on the project These values are presented in Figure No III and have
been utilized in the assigning the allowable 'bearing values, as v4ell as active-and
passive earth pressure design criteria for wall and 'footing designs in competent
- native soils ,or properly compacted fills.

V. GENERAL GEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION
The Carlsbad area is part of a seismically active region of California. It is on the
eastern boundary of the. Southern California Continental Borderland, part of the
Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Province. This region, is part of a broad tectonic
boundary between the North American and Pacific. Plates. The actual plate
boundary is characterized by a complex system of active, major, right-lateral strike-
slip faults, trending northwest/southeast. This fault system extends eastward 'to
the San Andreas Fault (approximately 81 miles from. Carlsbad) and westward to the
San' aernente Fault (approximately 54 miles off-shore from Carlsbad) (Berger and,.
Schug, 191).
During 'recent history, the San Diego County area 'has been relatively quiet
'seismically. 'No fault ruptures or'major earthquakes have been experienced in
historic time within the San Diego. area. Since earthquakes have been recorded:by
instruments (since the 1930s), the San Diego area has experienced scattered
'seismic events with Richter magnitudes geheratly less than 4.0. During June 1985,'
a series of small earthquakes occurred beneath San Diego Bay; three of these
earthquakes had recorded magnitudes of 4.0 to 4.2. In addition, the Oceanside
earthquake of July 13, 1986, located approximately 26 miles offshore of the City of
Oceanside, resulted in a magnitude of 5.3 (Hauksson, 1988).
In California, major earthquakes can generally be correlated with movement on
active faults. As defined by the California Divisio.n of Mines and Geology (Hart,
E.W., 1980), an "active" fault is one that has had ground surface displacement
within Holocene time (about the last 11,000 years). Additionally, faults along which
major historical earthquakes have occurred (about the last 210 years in California)
are also considered to be active (Association of Engineering Geologist, 1973). The
California Division of Mines and Geology defines a "potentially active" fault as'one
Proposed,-Emerald Pointe Estates Job .No. 97-7189
Carlsbad, California Page 7•
that has had ground surace.displacemént during. Quaternary, time,, that is, during
the past 11,000 to 1.6 million years (Hart, E.W., 1980).
VI SITE-SPECIFIC GEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION
A geologic investigation of the site was conducted to evaluate the on-site geology
and potential of geologic hazards that might affect the site. Our investigation drew
upon information gathered from published and unpublished, geologic maps and
reports, as well as the results of our exploratory trench excavations
A. ,Stratiqraphv
The subject site is located within a residential area approximately 1/4-mile south of
Palomar Airport Roadr at Cobblestone Road and Sapphire Drive, in the City of
Carlsbad. A review of available geologic maps and reports, as well as our field
investigation, indicates that the subject property is located in an area underlain by
surficial topsoils and dense materials materials oftheEocene-age Del Mar/Friars
Formation (undifferentiated) and the Santiago Formation. A description of these
units, from youngest to oldest, is included herein Refer to Figure Nos II and III
for details. ;
Topsoils Topsoils were found overlying the formational materials on most of the
site and consist of soft to' firm, moist, dark brown,' silty clay with some sand and
abundant roots The topsoils are approximately 11/2 to 21/2 feet in depth and are
considered to be very highly expansive The topsoils have been previously
disturbed by agricultural cultivation and are unsuitable to support structural loads
and compacted fill.
Propose'd'EmeraldPoiflte'Estates Job, No. 97-7189.,
Carlsbad, California Page.
Santiago Formation (Tsa): The majority .of the site is underlain by the. Eocene-age
Santiago Formation, which consists of light brown and tan-gray, silty, fine to
medium sandstone with interbeds of darker-colored sandy siltstones. The
sandstones 'are 'by far the most common and -typically they- are- moderately well-
indurated. The siltstones. of the Santiago. Formation may exist with some moderate
to high expansion characteristics.
Del Mar/Friars Formation (undifferentiated -. 'Td/Tf): The site is mapped showing
Santiago Formation 'being 'underlain by the Eocene-age Del Mar/Friars FormatiOn
(Eisenberg, 1983). At the site, we found this formation to be comprised of several.
lithologic (material. -type) units. Our trenches advanced, at the-site revealed the D&
.Mar/Friars Formation to be primarily, massive, tan-gray and dark gray-green, and
orange, silty sandstone, siltstone and claystone that is dense but 'poorly to
moderately well-indurated. Along the perimeter of the steep slopes we
encountered approximately 2 to 4 feet of highly fractured and weathered formation.
These rriterials consist of medium dense to dense, dry to damp, tan-gray and light
brown, silty .sandstone with some shells and caliche beds. Some of the caliche beds
'ranged fràm 1 to 4 inches thick and are thought to be related to topsoil chemical
weathering processes.
B. Structure
Adjacent-slopes and .nearby road cuts allowed observation of bedding and. geologic
structural features of the Santiago and Del Mar/Friars Formation in the vicinity of
the subject site The observed Del Mar/ Friars formational material appears to be
massively bedded (as exposed in the relatively shallow depth exploratory
excavations) In the vicinity of the subject site, the formational materials strike
'app roxi'àtely N 800 and dip'2 to 3'degrees to the south '(Eisenberg, 1983).

VII. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
A. Local and Regional Faults
Reference to a geologic map for the area (Eisenberg, 1983) indicates the presence
of a northeast-trending fault less than 300 feet west of the site. The published
projection suggests that the fault displaces the Eocene.-age formation but not the
Pleistocene-age terrace material and Holocene-age sediments. This fault is
considered minor and does not impact the site.
It is our opinion that a known "active" fault presents the greatest seismic risk to the
subject site during the lifetime of the proposed structures. To date, the nearest
'known "active" faults to the subject site are the northwest-trending Rose Canyon
Fault,. Coronado Bank Fault and the Elsinore Fault.
Pose Cahyon Fault: The Rose Canyon Fault Zone (Mount Soledad and Rose Canyon
Faults), located approximately 5 miles west of the subject site, is mapped trending
north-south from Oceanside to downtown San Diego, from where it appears to head
southward into San Diego Bay, through Coronado and offshore. The Rose Canyon
Fault Zone is considered to bea complex zone of onshore and offshore, en echelon
strike slip, oblique reverse, and oblique normal faults. The Rose Canyon Fault is
considered to be. capable. of causing a 7.5-magnitude earthquake and considered
microseismically active, although no significant recent earthquake is known to have
occurred on the fault. Investigative work on faults (believed to be part of the Rose
'Canyon Fault Zone) at the Police Administration and Technical Center in downtown
San Diego and at the SDG&E facility in Rose Canyon, has encountered offsets in,
Holocene (geologically recent) sediments. These findings have been accepted as
confirmed Holocene displacement on the Rose Canyon Fault and this previously
classified "potentially active", fault has now been upgraded to an "active" fault as.of
Proposed Emerald Pointe Estates Job No. 97-7189
Carlsbad, California •Page 10
November 1991 (California Division of Mines and Geology -- Fault Rupture Hazard
Zones in California, 1994).
'Coronado Bank Fault: The Coronado Bank Fault is located approximately 21 miles
southwest of the site. Evidence for this fault is based upon geophysical data
(acoustic profiles) and the general alignment of epicenters of recorded seismic
activity, (Greene, 1979). An earthquake of 5.3 magnitude, recorded July 13, 1986,
is known to have been centered on the fault or within the Coronado Bank Fault
Zone. Although this fault is-considered active, due to the seismicity within the fault
zone, it is significantly less active seismically than the Elsinore Fault (Hileman',
1973). It is postulated that the Coronado Bank Fault is capable of generating a 7.0-
magnitude earthquake and is of great interest due to its close proximity to the
greater San Diego metropolitan area
Elsinore Fault: The Elsinore Fault is located approximately 25 miles northwest of
the site. The Elsinore Fault extends approximately 200 km (125 miles) from the
Mexican border to the northern end of the Santa Ana Mountains. The -.Elsinore Fault
zone is a 1- to 4-mile-Wide, northwest-southeast-trending zone of discontinuous""
and en echelon faults extending through portions of Orange, Riverside, San Diego,
and Imperial Counties. Individual faults within the Elsinore Fault Zone range from
less than 1 mile to 16 miles in length. The trend,' length and geomorphic
expression of the'Elsinore Fault Zone identified it as being a part of the highly active
San Andreas Fault system.
Like the other faults in the 'San Andreas system, the Elsinore Fault isa transverse
fault showing predominantly 'right-lateral movement. According to Hart, et al.
(19.79'),'this movement averages less than 1 centimeter per'year. Along most of its
1ength1 the Elsinore Fault Zone is 'marked by a bold topographic expression
consisting of linearly aligned ridges, swales and hallows. Faulted Holocene alluvial

Carlsbad, California
.
. Page ii.
: deposits (believed to be less than 11,000 years old) found along several segments
of the. fault zone suggest that at least part of the zone is currently active.
Although the ,Elsinore Fault Zone belongs. to ,the 'San Andreas set of active,
j,orthwest-trending, rightslip faults in thesouthern California area (Crowell, 1962),
it has not been the site of a major earthquake in historic time, other than a 6.0-
magnitude quake near the.-town of Elsinore in 1910 (Richter, 1958;. Toppozada and
Parke, .1982). . However, based on length and evidence of late-Pleistocene Or:
Holocene displacement, Greensfelder (1974) has estimated that the Elsinore Fault
Zone is reasonably capable of generating an earthquake with a magnitude as large
as 7.5. Recent study and logging of exposures in trenches in Glen Ivy Marsh across.
the Glen Ivy North Fault (a strand of the Elsinore Fault Zone between: Corona and
Lake Elsinore), suggest a maximum earthquake recurrence interval of 300 years,
and when combined with previous estimates of.the long-term horizontal slip rate of.
0.8 to 7.0mm/year, suggest typical earthquake magnitudes of '6 to 7,(Rockwell,
:- 1985). .
S. Other Geologic Hazards
Ground Rupture: Ground rupture is characterized by bedrock slippage along an
established fault and may result in displacement of. the ground surface. Forground
rupture to occur along a fault, an earthquake usually exceeds magnitude 5.0. If a
5.0-magnitude earthquake were to take place on a local fault, an estimated surface-
rupture length .1 mile long could be expected (Greénsfelder, 1974). Since a fault
does not cross the subject site, the risk of ground rupture at the site is considered
remote.
GF49
Proposed Emerald Pointe Estates Job No. 97-7189
Carlsbad, California Page 12
Ground Shaking: Structural damage caused by seismically induced ground shaking.
is a detrimental effect directly related to faulting and earthquake activity. Ground
shaking is considered to be the-greatest seismic hazard in'San Diego County. The
intensity of ground shaking is dependent on the magnitude of the earthquake, the
distance and. orientation from the earthquake, and the soil and geologic structure
beneath the site. Earthquakes of magnitude 5.5 Richter scale or greater are
generally associated with significant damage. It is our opinion that the most
serious damage to the site would be caused by a large earthquake originating on a
nearby strand of the Rose Canyon Fault Zone or one 'ofthe major regional active
faults. Although the chance of such an event is low, it could occur within the
proposed development The ground accelerations that could be reasonably
expectd to occur during a major earthquake, on a fault within 100 miles of the
site, are provided in Appendix B. ;
Landslides: According to our geologic reconnaissance and a review, of the geologic
maps (W.ber' 1982, and Eisenberg 1983) and aerial photographs (4-11-53, AXN-
8M-71 and 72), there are no known or suspected ancient landslides located on the
site However, we encountered some highly fractured and weathered caliche beds
'within the dense, Eocene-age formational sandstone materials in exploratory
'trenches. The 1- to 4-inch-thick 'caliche beds were encountered along the
perimeter of the steep west-facing slopes . The beds were present within the
massive formational sandstone, but found to be moderately compressible due to the
dry condition and void space present Due to potential slope instability, we have
recommended deeper removal , and recompaction in the areas where highly
weathered 'formational materials exist.
Proposed Emerald. Pointe Estates Job No. .97-7189
Carlsbad, California Page 13
Sloøe Stability: The proposed cut and fill slopes, should remain, stale' for the
proposed elevations and/or configurations shown in the preliminary plans for the
project The slopes possess a factor of safety against deep shear failure of at least
1.5. The fill, slope toe in the area along the western subdivision boundary shall be
cut below the weathered formation approximately 5to .6 fet below existing grade.
'Geotogial observations sand further slope stability evaluations shall be provided
during grading ofcut and fill slopes, asneeded.
Liquefaction: The liquefaction of saturated, sands during earthquakes can result in
major damage 'to 'buildings. Liquefaction is the. :pro'cess in which soils are
transformed into a dense fluid, which will flow as a liquid when unconfined It
Occurs principally in loose, saturated sands and 'silts when they are sufficiendy.
shaken by an earthquake
Although there is a potential for experiencing a seismic event that could produce
the required ground acceleration to induce liquefaction, the earthquake necessary
to cause this magnitude 'of acceleration has not occurred in 'the .San Diego County
area since the year 1800 (see Appendix C) :Since no submerged loose san.d or,silt
conditions exist at the site, the probability of Occurrence of soil liquefaction is
negligible.
'Flooding: Due -to the site's-elevation and the proposed grading,there is little risk of
flooding on the proposed site, building pads. However, the natural drainage ,cany.o,n
along the western portion of the site could be subject to occasional flooding-
Although the- drainage ofthe area, in general, appears to be.adequately controlled
within the existing channel and the drainage basin is relatively small, the project
civil engineer should evaluate the potential for flooding in this area.
Pro posed Emerald Pointe Estates Job No. 97-7189
Carlsbad, California Page 14
With the construction of an adequate on-site drainage system and proper finish
surface grades, the risk of'flooding should be minimal 'withifl the proposed building-'-
areas.
Groundwater: Groundwater was not encountered during our field investigation and
we do nOt' expect significant groundwater problems to develop in the future -- if the
property is developed as presently proposed and. proper drainage is provided and
maintained.
It, sho1d.be 'kept in mind that the proposed construction and grading on the site
may thange surface drainage patterns. Such changes,, plus irrigation of landscaping
or s1nificant increases in rainfall, may result in' appearance of surface or near-
surface perched water at locations where non existed previously The damage from
such w'aer is expected to be localized and cosmetic in nature if good positive'
drainage is implemented,' as recommended in this report, during and at the
completion of construction. .
It: mue und'erstood, however, that unless , discovered during initial site
exploration or encountered during site grading operations, it is extremely difficult to
predict if or where perched or true groundwater conditions may appear in the
future. When site fill or formational soils are fine-grained and of low permeability,
water problems may not become apparent for extended periods of time.
Whereas water conditions encountered during grading operations should be
evaluated and remedied by the project civil and geotechnical consultants, the
project 'developer and eventual homeowners must realize that post-construction
:appearances of groundwater may have to be dealt with on a site-specific basis.
Proposed Emerald Pointe Estates Job No. 97-7189-1
Carlsbad, California Page 15
The alternative to the possible post-construction,. site-specific appearance and
resolution' of subsurface water problems is the design and construction of extensive
subdrain dewatering systems during the initial site development process. This
option isusually selected when there is sufficient evidence during.initial .exploration
orsite grading to indicate such efforts are warranted.
C. Summary
The seismic hazard most likely to impact the site is ground shaking, probably
resulting from an earthquake on the nearby Rose Canyon Fault or more distant
Coronado Bank Fault or Elsinore Fault. In the event that severe earth shaking doe
occur from major faulting within the area, compliance with UBC and City of Carlsbad
Building Code requirements, and the accompanying recommendations for
construction, should help to minimize structural damage. No soil liquefaction k
anticipated to occur in the buildable areas of the site and no loss of strength or
stability i's anticipated in the soils Of the same buildable area due to seismic activity.
From ..a geotechnical standpoint, our investigation indicates that the site is favorable'
for the proposed development, provided the recommendations in this report are
followed.'
VIII. EARTHQUAKE RISK EVALUATION
Evaluation of.. earthquake risk requires that the effect of faulting on, and the mass
stability of, a site be evaluated utilizing the M10 seismic design event, i.e.', an
earthquake event on an active fault with less than a 10 percent probability of beirg,
exceeded in 50 years. Further, sites are -classified by UBC 1997 Edition into "soil
profile types SA through SF." Soil profile types are defined by their shear 'velocities
where shear velocity is the speed at which shear waves move through the upper 30
meters (approximately 100 feet) of the ground. These are: ,

1. Thepro posed grading operatiOns shall be performed in accordànce"with the
General Earthwork Specifications (Appendix •E) and the requirements. of the
City. of Carlsbad Grading Ordinance. Geotechnical. Exploration, Inc..
recommends that our firm verify the actual soil conditions revealed during
the grading to be as anticipated in this "Update Report of Preliminary
Geotechnica/ Investigation." In addition, the compaction of any fill soils
placed during the grading, must .be tested by the soil engineer. It i's the
responsibility of the grading contractor to comply with' the requirements of.
the grading plans and the local grading ordinance. Any fill soils that are
observed to be loose or that have been, placed, without control or sufficient . -.

s'pecificatins.
.
.
It is recommended that our firm review the final, grading plans and project
soil-related specifications prior to the start of construction. Also, we
recommend that a pre-construction conference be held at the site with the
owner/developer, architect, civil engineer, contractor, grader, and
'geotechnical. engineer in attendance. Special.. soil handling proce,d.irs. and
the grading 'plan' requirements can be discussed at that time.

We, recommend that the entire property, be cleared of all vegetation and any
other debris or rubble The generated should be disposed
of off-site prior to the placing of any new fill.:
Our investigation revealed that the eastern (investigated) portion of the' site
is underlain by dense formational. materials, with some loose (soft to firm)
S topsoil, and, weathered formational rnateials ranging from 21/2 to 51/2 feet
deep 'overlying the site. 'Since a portion of' the site is to be lowered' to-
achieve -the finish grade, it is.anticipated that dense formational materials will
be exposed over the majority of the easte*rnL portion of the site. Some
' "removal and recompaction of the loose surface soils and weathered formation
'
will be required in the proposed fill areas and also in cut areas when the sóil'..
are not at the adequate moisture content (as' discussed previously). We
estimate that the deepest removal of loose topsoil and weathered formation
will be in the northern and western portions of the site and along the edges
of the slopes where thicker topsoils and weathered formational materials ' S
were encountered. Also, any areas with unfavorable' geologic conditions may
require special grading and drainage recommendations. The excavated, low''::.
"expansive 'soils to be used, as fill shall be watered. to approximately optimum
moistUre content and compacted, to at least 90 percent of Maximum Dry,,
Density ASTM D1557-98.
Any soils possessing an expansion potential'equal to or higher than 50 shall
be compacted' with a moisture content at or higher'than'5 percent' over the
optimum moisture content. The relative compaction of such' compacted soils
shall be at least 90 percent of the maximum obtained per ASTM D1557-98
- Highly expansive soils shall not be overcompäcted higher than 93 percentr of
Maximum Dry Density,. S

In addition, a deeper key will be required at the toe of the proØosed, fill slàpe
along the western subdivision boundary. Caliche beds were encountered
within the exploratory trench excavations placed in this area
4 Any backfill soils placedr in utility trenches or behind retaining walls, which
support structures, and other improvements (such as patios, sidewalks,
driveways, pavements, etc.) shall be compacted, to at least 90 percent of
Maximum Dry. Density
S. No uncontrolled fill soils shall remain on the site after completion of site
grading In the event that temporary ramps or pads are constructed of
uncontrolled fill soils, the loose fill soils shall be removed and/or recompacted
prior to completion of the grading operation..'.'

B. •' Preliminary Design Parameters . . . . . . .
6.' . For' -preliminary foundation: design of new footings, 'based on the assumption
that new footings will be placed on low expansive to medium expansive soils
at least 18 inches as measured from the adjacent ground surface into
medium dense to dense natural (formational) soils or properly compacted on-
site soils, we provide a preliminary allowable soil bearing capacity equal to
2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) for properly compacted fill and 3,000
' pounds per square foot for dense formation. 'Footings restingon compacted
fill or formational soils with high ,to very high expansion potential shall be
ehibedded. at least 24 inches in. depth. Footing width, in all cases, shall beat
least 12 inches For wider and/or deeper footings, the allowable soil bearing
capacity may be calculated based on the following equation
Proposed Emerald Pointe Estates Job No. 97-7189
Carlsbad, California . Page 21
Qa = 1000D+500W for footings in compacted fill
Qa ,= 1500D+750W for footings•in.for,matibn
where
"Qa" is the allowable soil bearing capacity (in psf);
"D" is the depth of the footing (in feet) as measured from the, lowest
adjacent grade; and
"W" is the width of the footing. (in feet)..
The allowable soil bearing capacity may. be increased one-third for. analysis
including wind or earthquake loads. The maximum total allowable soil
bearing capacity for dense fills or natural formation is 6,000 psf. We
recommend that all footings be founded either entirely in dense formation or
entirely in compacted fill. The final 'foundation embedment will, depend on
expansion index test results obtained from representative soils obtained,from
the. upper 4 feet of b'uildng pad's.
If imported soils are required to bring 'the site to grade, the imported soils
should be low expansive (El lower than 50) and be obta+ned from. an
approved off-site borrow area. Should soils with 'an expansion index higher
than 90 be left at subgrade elevation, in , the building areas,,, the footing
excavations shall be' deepened to atl'east 24 inches. . .
7 The passive earth pressure of the encountered dense natural-ground soils'
and any' properly, compacted' fill soils (to. be. used for design of shallow
:fbundation and, footings to resist the lateral .forces) shall be' based...on an
Equivalent 'Fluid Weight of 275 pounds per cubic foot. This passive earth -
pressure'shall only be considered valid for design if -the, ground adjacent to.

times thtotal depth-of the foundation..
8. A Coefficient of Friction of 0.35 times.the dead load maybe used to calculate
* friction force between the bearing soils and concrete wall foundations or
structure foundations and floor slabs. -
9 The following table summarizes site-specific seismic design criteria to
calculate the base shear needed for the design of the residential structure
The design criteria was obtained from the Uniform Building Code (1997
edition)
10. Our experience indicates that, 'fdr various, reasons, footings and, slabs
occasionally crack, causing ceramic tiles and brittle surfaces to become
damaged Therefore, we recommend that all conventional shallow footings
and slabs-on-grade contain at least a minimumamount of reinforcing steel to
'reduce the separation of cracks, should they occur. '

We recommend the project Civil/Structural Engineer incorporate
isolation -joints and sawcuts to at least; one-fourth the thickness of the
slab in any floor designs. Control joints should not be spaced farther
than every 25 feet for slabs reinforced With rebars, and 15 feet for
slabs reinforced; with welded wire fabic. The joihts' and cuts, if
properly placed; should reduce.the potential for and help ,control floor
slab cracking. However, due to a number of reasons (such as base
preparation, construction techniques, curing procedures, and normal
shrinkage of concrete), some cracking of slabs can be expected.
Control joints shall be placed within 12 hours after concrete placement
and shall penetrate at least one-quarter the slab thickness
Following placement of any concrete floor sla'bs,:sufficient dryingtime.
must be allowed prior to placement of floor coverings. Premature
placement of floor, coverings may result in degradation of adhesive ,
materials and loosening of the finish' floor materials.
Tiled floors shall be provided with an approved isolation sheet to
prevent reflective shrinkage and/or control joint cracking.

Based on. our laboratory test results and our experience,.with the so,il.typeson
the subject site, the dense natural soils and properly compacted' fill' soils
should experience differential angular rotation' of less than 1/240 under the
allowable loads. The maximum differential settlernent across the, structure
and footings when founded on properly compacted fill or dense natural
formation shall bean the order of 1 inch.

center of the slab, and contain adequate isolation and control joints
The performance of on* site improvements can be greatly affected by soil
base preparation and the quality of construction It is therefore important
that all improvements are properly designed and constructed for the existing
soil -conditions The improvements should not be built on loose soils or fills
placed without our observations and testing Any rigid improvements
founded on the existing loose surface soils can be expected to undergo
movement and possible damage and is therefore not recommended

Width Of the slab, whichever is less, and also at re-entrant corners.
Pavement joints shall be properly sealed with pavement joint sealant, as
reqvired in sections 201 3 6 through 201 3 8 of the Standard Specifications
forPublic Work Construction, 2000 Edition Depending upon the lateral slab
support of the drive, restraining steel dowels may be required in areas that-
are not sufficiently restrained
C Floor Slab Vapor Transmission
13 Vapor moisture can cause some problems on moisture sensitive floors, some
floor sealers, or sensitive equipment in direct contact with the floor, in
addition to mildew and staining on slabs, walls and carpets.
14 The common practice in Southern California is to place vapor retarders made
of 'PVC,. or of polyethylene. PVC retardrs are made in thickness ranging.
from 10- to 60-mil. Polyethylene re€ardersi, called visqueen, range from. 5- to
10mil in thickness The thicker the plastic, the stronger the resistance will
be against puncturing.. . , .
Proposed Emerald Pointe Estates Job No. 97-7189
Carlsbad, California Page 27
Although polyethylene (visqueen) products are most commonly used,
products such as Vaporshield possess much higher tensile strength and are
more specifically designed. for and intended:to retard moisture transmission
into concrete slabs. The use of Vaporshield or equivalent is highly
recommended when a structure is intended for moisture-sehsitive floor
coverings or uses.
The vapor retarders need to have joints lapped and sealed with mastic or
manufacturer's recommended tape for additional protection. To provide
some protection to the moisture retarder, a layer of at least 2 inches of clean
sand on top and 2 inches at the bottom shall also be provided. No heavy
equipment, stakes or other puncturing instruments shall be used on top of
the liner before or during concrete placement In actual practice, stakes are
often driven through the retarder material, equipment is dragged or rolled
coss the retarder, overlapping or jointing is not properly implemented, etc.
All these construction deficiencies reduce the retarder's effectiveness
The 'Vapor retarders are not waterproof. Thy are intended to help prevent
or reduce capillary migration of vapor through the soil into the pores of
concrete slabs. Other waterproofing systems must supplement vpor,
retarders if full waterproofing is desired. The owner should be consulted to
determine the specific level of protection required.
D. Retàininci Walls
:1 tte active earth pressure (to be utilized in the design of cantilever retaining
walls utilizing a mixture of on-site or imported, low expansive soils as
backfill) shall be based on an Equivalent Fluid Weight of 45 pounds per cubic
foot (for level backfill and properly drained retaining wall backfill only). The
Proposed Emerald Pointe. Estates ,. Job No. 97-7189
Carlsbad, California ' . Page 28
designer of the retaining walls shall specify in the' retaining wall. plans thàt.the
wall, backfill shall consist-of soils with an .expansion index less than 50. The
"wall backfill" shall be all retained material within a distance equal to its,
height.
In ,the. event that , a retaining wall is. surcharged by sloping backfill (of the..
same soil type), the design active earth pressure shall be based On the.
appropriate Equivalent Fluid 'Weight' presented, in the, following table:,
*Utilization of other than clean sandy soils as backfill or any
encountered adverse geologic conditions in the cut slopes behind wails
will require the use of high'er equivalent fluid weights.
In the event that a retaining' wall is to b'e designed for a restrained co'ndition''..
a uniform pressure equal to 1OxH (ten times the total height of retained wall,
considered in 'pounds per 'square foot) 'shall be considered'' as acting
everywhere on the back of' the wall in addition to the desigh Equivalent
Fluid Weight.
Any additional load Or surcharge located within a horizdrtal distance equal' to
the height of the wall shall be'includedas extra pressure.
..Any,ioads placed on' the active Wedge behind a cantilever retaining -wall shall
be included ,in the design by multiplying' the lOad weight by a factor of ,045,
and 0.62 for restrained retaining walls. The ternporary'cuts and bottom of
Proposed Emerald Pointe Estates S Job No. 97-7189
Carlsbad, California Page 29
excavation soils, during retaining wall construction shall be maintained, with
proper moisture until, ,just 'prior to backfilling.'
18. Due-.to possible buildup of groundwater (derived, primarily fro,m rainfall and
irrigation), excess moisture is a common problem in below-grade structures.
or behind retaining wal!s that may be proposed. These problems are
generally in the form of water seepage through walls, mineral staining, mold
growth and high humidity.
Even without the presence of free water, the capillary draw characteristics,
especially of fine grained soils, can result in excessive transmission of water.:
vapor through walls and floor slabs. In order to reduce the potential for
moisture-related problems' to. develop at the site, proper and sufficient
ventilation and waterprbofihg shall be provided for below-ground areas and
the backfill side of all structure retaining walls 'should be properly
waterproofed and drained
19 Proper subdrains and free-draining backwall material or geofabric drainage
'shall be installed behind all retaining walls (in addition to . proper.
waterproofing) on the subject project. Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. will
assume no liability for damage to structures or improvements that, is
attributable to poor drainage; The architectural' plans shall clearly indicate
that the subdrains for any lower-level walls shall be placed at an elevation at
least 1. foot below the bottom of the lower-level slabs. At least 05-percent
fall, shall be, provided for the s'ubdrain. ' The subdrain shall be placed in an
envelope of crushed rock gravel up to 1 inch in maximum diameter, and be
wrapped with Mirafi 140N filter or equivalent (see Figure No. VI).
Proposed Emerald Pointe Estates Job No. 97-7189
Carlsbad, .California I Page 30
In general, guidelines and requirements of Chapter 18 and its Appendix (UBC
1997 Edition) shall be followed for wall and floor basement waterproofing.
Proper ventilation (per UBC requirements) shall be provided to the- crawl
space areas.
E. Slopes
20. The preliminary grading plan (Revised. Tentative. Map, Emerald Pointe
Est'ates) calls for maximum cut and fill slopes up to approximately 30 feet
; hg h, both at an inclination of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical).,..Review of the
slope stability analyses, for both surficial and deep-seated stability, indicate --
that the proposed grading slopes have factors of safety of 1.5 or greater
These analyses assume no weak clay seams, no groundwater, and no othei
adverse geologic conditions exist in the cut slopes or within the foundationof
fill slopes In addition, the weakest soil on the slope shall possess at least
one of the following combinations of shear strength parameters
Friction Angie (degrees) Cohesion (psf)
28 300
29 260
30 : 225
31 185
30 150
Soil shear strength parameters shall be evaluated using representative
samples of soil composing the slopes..
PrOposed Emerald Pointe Estates Job No. 97-7189..
Carlsbad, California Page 31'
We. recommend that. a geologist from our firm observe all cut slopes during
grading for possible adverse conditions Additional investigation and analyses
may be 'required if adverse geologic conditions' such as groundwater seepage.,
adversely oriented bedding, relatively weak or sheared claystone.beds, or
adverse jointing or faulting are encountered. Although buttress fill slopes are
not anticipated, out-of-slope bedding or, highly weathered formatioñal
materials encountered during the grading may require the construction of
stability and/or buttress fills if needed.
21 We., recommend that-all faces of fill slopes be backrolled at maximum: 4°':*'''.::
fill height intervals during the grading operation Additionally, we
recommend that all faces of fill slopes be track-walked at the completion of '
the rough grading operation so that a dozer track covers all surfaces at least
twice All cut and fill slopes should be properly drained, planted, an&
maintained to control erosion and surface sloughing. No pad runoff water
shall drain over the tops of slopes All building pads shall drain toward the
front street.
22 If unshored temporary slopes are to be constructed on the site or along the'
"property 'lines, design engineers and/or excavation contractors must take into
account any adjacent utility lines or subsurface structures. Geo.technical
Exploration, Inc. has no knowledge as to the location or condition of any
such utility lines, or as to whether any such lines can tàlerate slight
vibration-induced by earth movements associated with excavation, an'd/or
shoring of temporary slopes in close proximity to any such lines.
23 Weanticipate that steep temporary slopes may be required on portions of
thesite during grading. Based on the results of our field investigation and
laboratory tests, it is our opinion, that steep 'temporary slopes may. be
Proposed Emerald Pointe Estates Job No. 97-7189,
Carlsbad, California Page 32
considered in areas where the slope topwill. beat least 10 feet away from
any existing Improvements; The existing sbilsmay be cut to temporary slope
ratios of 1.0 horizontal7 to. 0.75 vertical (for an unsupported period, not to
exceed four weeks) for slope heights up to 18 feet.
A representative of Geotechnica! Exploration, Inc. should be called to
observe all steep temporary slopes during construction. In the event that
soils and formational material comprising a slope are not as anticipated, any
.required.slope design changes would be presented at that time.
24 Where not superseded by specific recommendations presented in this report,
trenches, excavations, and temporary slopes at the subject site shall be,,-
.constructed in accordance with subparagraph (1) paragraph (f), of section
'1541 of Title 8, Construction Safety Orders, issued by OSHA. .'
;....-. ..
25 The soils that occur within the proximity of the rim or face of even properly
coTpacted fill or dense natural ground cut slopes often possess poor lateral
sta-Jity The degree of lateral and vertical deformation depends on the
.inhérent expansion and strength characteristics of the soil types comprising
the slope, slope steepness and height, loosening of slope face soils by
burrowing rodents, and irrigation and vegetation maintenance practices, as
well as the quality of compaction of fill soils. Structures and, other
i:rnprovements could suffer damage due to these soil movement factors if not
'properly designed to accommodate or withstand such movement.
Foundations and footings Of proposed structures, walls, etc., when founded 5
feet and farther away from the top of compacted fill slopes, may be of
standard design. However, if the proposed foundations and footings are
located closer than 5 feet (or H/3 for slopes 15 feet high or greter) from the
Proposed Emerald Pointe Estates Job No. 97-7189
Carlsbad, California . Page 33
top, of compacted fill slopes (whereH=height of the slope), they should be
deepened to at least 11/2 feet below a line beginning at a point 5 feet
horizontally and to provide a daylight' distance of at least H/3 inside the fill
slopes (for slopes with heights of 15 feet or, higher) and projected outward
and downward, parallel to the. face of the fill slope (see Figure No. IV).
Special reinforcement, and design considerations should be provided by the
Structural Engineer for all improvements within 5 -feet of the top of fill slopes,
due to the anticipated "creeping" movement of the underlying fill soils. As', a
general rule, the recommended setback from the slope face is a minimum of
5 feet and a maximum of H/3 for slopes 15 feet in height or higher.
.4 ,..:
26 Rigid improvements such as top-of-slope walls, columns, decorative planters,
concrete flatwork, swimming pools and other similar types of improvements
:c be be expected to display varying degrees of separation typical of
improvements constructed at the top of a slope The separations result
primarily from slope top lateral and vertical soil deformation processes
The separations often occur regardless of being underlain by cut or fill
slope material Proximity to a slope top is often the primary factor affecting
'the" degree of separations occurring.
Typical and to-be-expected. separations can range 'from minimal to up to 1
'inch' or greater in width. In' order to minimize the effect of slope-top lateral.
sOil' deformation, we recommend that the top-of-slope improvements be.
designed with flexible connections and joints in rigid structures so, that the
separations do not result in visually apparent cracking damage and/or can, be
cosmetically dressed as part of the 'ongoing property maintenance. These
flexible connections may include "slip joints" in wrought iron fencing, evenly
spaced vertical joints 'in block walls or fences, control joints with flexible
caulking in extériorflatwork improvements, etc.
Proposed Emerald Pointe, Estates Job No. 97-718.9

In .addition, use of planters to provide separation between top-of-slope
hardscape such as patio slabs and pool decking from top-of-slope wallscar
aid greatly in reducing cosmetic cracking and separations in exterior.
improvements. . Actual materials and techniques would need to. be
determined by the project architect Or the landscape architect for indiJiduäl
properties. Steel dowels placed in flatworkmay•prevent noticeable vertical

such water is expected to be minor and cosmetic in nature, if good positive
drainage is implemented at the completion of construction. Corrective actiob
should be taken on a site-specific basis if and when it becomes necessary.
Any significant seepage observed during grading will be reported to the
contractor for corrective work Additional recommendations will be provided
as warranted.
30 Adequate measures shall be taken to properly finish-grade the site to prevent
ponding or erosion, specifically of the slopes Drainage waters from this site
and adjacent properties are to be directed away from building pads and
slopes, onto the natural drainage direction for this area or into properly
designed and approved drainage facilities Roof gutters and downspouts
should be installed on all structures, with runoff directed away from the
foundations via closed drainage lines. Proper subsurface and surface
drainage will help minimize the potential for waters to seek the level of the
bearing soils under the building pads Failure to observe this
recommendation could result in excessive uplift or undermining and
differential settlement of the future structures and improvements on the site
We recommend that the minimum gradient around the structures be not less
than 5 percent in the nearest 5 feet to structures
31 Appropriate erosion-control measures shall be taken at all times during
construction to prevent surface runoff waters from entering footing
excavations and ponding on finished building pads or running uncontrolled
over the tops of newly constructed cut or fill slopes Particular care should be
taken to prevent saturation of any temporary construction slopes

Sediment accumulation. and standing water along street curbs is a common.
occurrence after construction of a residence or subdivision, most often as a
result of excess irrigation and/or relatively level street. grades. Continual
slow water flow from yard drainage systems into street swales often results
in curb areas that remain wet, muddy or support moss growth and algae.
During high water flow conditions (such as during a heavy rainfall), the
velocity of the water. will most likely carry the sediments and dear the curb
area. However, during low water flow (such as Continual slow draining of
yard area drains into the curb outlets), the slow velocity allows silts 'and fine
sands to deposit and accumulate. Heavily landscaped yards., the presence of
cut ground lots that create near-surface perched water conditions, and
relatively level streets with shallow gradients to storm drain inlets all
contribute to wet and muddy curb conditions. It is the responsibility of the
p.roject Civil Engineer to, design adequate street/curb surface drainage.
It. is recommended that the future homeowners be advised as to the'
irrigation-related cause(s) of persistent water and sedimentation in the tree't'....
curb areas. If street curb flow from yard area drains is not considered ......
acceptable, we may be contacted by the project Civil Engineer to discuss the
design of a yard area discharge collection system. -
. Planter areas, flower beds, and planter boxes shall be sloped to drain away
from the foundations, footings, and floor slabs at a gradient of at least 5
percent within 5 feet from the perimeter walls. Any planter areas adjacentto
the building or surrounded by concrete, improvements shall be. provided with
sufficient area drains to help with rapid, runoff disposal. No water shall, be
allowed to pond adjacent to the building or other irñp'rovements. Closed
planter boxes shall be constructed with a sealed bottom and a subsurface
drain, installed in gravel, with the direction of subsurface and surface flow.

shall be placed in landscape areas to providea fast runoff disposal. The
landscape surface shall be provided with effective flow lines and gradients to
reduce water ponding throughout the project Roof gutter and downspouts
shall be tied to storm drain lines.
G. General Recommendations H
34 In order to minimize any work delays at the subject site during site
development, this firm should be contacted at least 24 hours prior to any
need for observation of slopes or field density testing.
35. Design of the street pavement sections- Was not included within the scope of
this report. Pavement sections will dependlargely on the street subgradesoil
conditions exposed after grading and the expected traffic load, and should be.
based on R-value test results. These tests should be performed after
completion of the rough grading operation
X. LIMITATIONS
It should be noted that all recommendations are of a: preliminary nature and subject
to change, based upon review of your final grading and building plans, and our
observations during grading Our preliminary conclusions and recommendations
have been based on the available data obtained from our report reviews, field
investigation and laboratory analysis, as well as our experience with the soils and
formation materials in this area of the City of Carlsbad
Proposed Emerald Pointe Estates

Of necessity, we, must assume a certain degree Of continuity between exploratory
excavations and/or natural exposures. It is, therefore, necessary, that all
observations, conclusions, and recommendations be verified at the time grading
operations begin. In the event discrepancies are noted, additional
recommendations may be issued, if required. This report has been prepared far
design purposes only, and may not be sufficient to prepare an accurate bid for the
grading work.
The work performed and recommendations presented herein are the result of an
investigation and analysis that meet the contemporary standard of care in our
profession. within the County of San Diego. No warranty is provided.
This report should be considered valid for a. period of two (2) years, and is subject
tbrevJ,ew:by our firm following that time. If significant modifications are made to
the grading plans, especially with respect to the height and location of any proposed
cuts nd fills, this report should be presented to us for immediate review and
possible r-v;sion The firm of Geotechnical Exploration, Inc shall not be held
responsib'e for changes to the physical condition of the property, such as addition
of fill soils or changing drainage patterns, which occur subsequent to issuance of
this- report.
This firm does not practice or consult in the field of safety engineering. We do not
direct the contractor's operations, and we cannot be responsible for the safety of
personnel other than our own on the site; the safety of others is the responsibility
of the contractor. The contractor should notify the owner if he considers any of the
recommended actions presented herein to be unsafe.

GENERAL EARTHWORK SPECIFICATIONS
General
The objective of these specifications is to properly establish procedures for the
clearing and preparation of the existing natural ground or properly compacted fill
to receive new fill; for the selection of the fill material; and for the fill
compaction and testing methods to be used.
Scope of Work
The earthwork includes all the: activities and resources. provided by the
contractor to construct in a good workmanlike manner all the grades of the filled
areas shown in the plans. The major items of work covered in this section
include all clearing and grubbing, removing and disposing of materials, preparing
areas to be filled, compacting of fill, compacting of backfills, subdrain
installations, and all other work necessary to complete the grading of the filled
areas.
Site Visit and Site Investigation
The contractor shall visit the site and carefully study it, and make all
inspections necessary in order to determine the full extent of the work
required to complete all grading -in conformance with the drawings and
specifications. The contractor shall: satisfy himself as to the nature,
location, and extent of. the work conditions, the conformation and
condition of the existing ground surface, and the type of equipment,
labor, and facilities needed prior to and during prosecution of the work
The contractor shall satisfy himself as to the character, quality, and
quantity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to be
-encountered Any inaccuracies or discrepancies between the actual field
conditions and the drawings, or between' thedrawings and specifications;
must be brought to the engineer's attention in order to clarify the exact
nature of the work to be performed
2. A soils investigation report has been prepared for this project by GEL It is
available for review and should be used as .-.a reference to the surface and
subsurface • soil and, bedrock, conditions on this project. Any
recommendations made in the report of the soil investigation or
, subsequent reports shalt become an addendum to these specifications.
Authority of the Soils Engineer and Engineering Geologist
The soils engineer shall be the owner's representative -. to observe and test the'
construction of fills. Excavation and the placing of fill shall be. under the
observation of the soils engineer and his/her representative, ,'and he/she shall
give a written opinion regarding conformance with the specifications upon
completion of grading. The'soils engineer shall have the authority to cause the
removal and replacement of porous topsoils, uncompacted or improperly
compacted fills, disturbed bedrock 'materials, and. soft alluvium, 'and shalt have
the: authority to approve 'or reject materials proposed for Use in the compacted
fill areas. '
The soils engineer shall have, in conjunction with the engineering geologist, the..
authority to approve the, preparation of natural ground and toe-of-fill benches to
receive fill material. The engineering geologist shall have the authority to
evaluate, the stability of the existing or proposed slopes, and to evaluate the.
necessity of remedial. measures. If any unstable condition is being created by
cutting or filling, the engineering geologist and/or soils engineer shall advise 'the
contractor and owner immediately, and prohibit grading in the affected area until
such time as corrective measures are taken.
'
The owner shall decide all questions regarding: (1) the interpretation of the
drawings and specifications, (2) the acceptable fulfillment of the contract on the
part of'the contractor, and (3) the matter of compensation.
Clearing and Grubbing
Clearing and grubbing shall consist of the removal from all areas to be
graded of all surface trash, abandoned improvements, paving, culverts,
..pipe, and vegetation (including -- but not limited to -- heavy' weed growth,
trees, stumps, logs and roots larger than 1-inch in diameter).
All organic end. inorganic materials resulting from the clearing and
grubbing: operations shall be collected, piled, and disposed of by the
contractor to give the cleared' areas a neat and, finished appearance.
Burning of combustible materials on-site shall not be permitted unless
allowed by local regulations, and at such, times and in such a manner to
IrC4 10
WIT
lim
prevent the fire, from spreading to areas adjoining the property or cleared
area.
3. It is understood that minor amounts of organic, materials may remain in
the fill soils due to the near impossibility of complete removal. The
amount remaining, however, must be considered negligible, and in no
casei can be allowed to occur in concentrations or total quantities
sufficient to contribute to* settlement upon decomposition.
Preparation' of Areas-to be Filled
1. After, clearing and grubbing, all Uncompated or improperly compacted
fills, soft or loose soils, or, unsuitable materials., shall be removed to
expose competent natural ground, undisturbed bedrock, or properly
compacted fill as indicated in the soils investigation report or by :our field
representative. Where the unsuitable materials are exposed in final
graded areas, they shall be removed and replaced as compacted fill.
2. The ground surface exposed after removal of unsuitable soils shall be
scarified to a depth of at least 6 inches, brought to the specified moisture
content, and then the scarified ground compacted to at least the'specified
density. Where undisturbed, bedrock is exposed at the surface,
scarification and recómpactiOn shall not be required.
3 All areas to receive compacted fill, including all removal areas and toe-of-
fill benches, shall be observed and approved by the soils engineer and/or
engineering geologist prior to placing 'compacted fill.
4. Where fills are made on hillsides or exposed slope areas with gradients \
greater than 20 percent, horizontal benches' shall be cut into firm,
undisturbed, natural ground in order to provide both lateral and vertical
stability. This is to provide a horizontal base so that e-ach layer is placed
and compacted on a horizontal plane.' The initial bench at the toe of the
fill shall be at least 10 feet' in width" on firm, undisturbed,' natural' ground
at the elevation of the toe: stake placed at the bottom of the design slope.
The engineer shall determine the width and frequency' of all succeeding
benches, which will 'vary with the soil conditions and the steepness o,f the
slope. Ground slopes flatter than' 20 percent" (5;O:1 .0') shall be benched
when considered necessary by the soils engineer. (
Fill and Backfill Material
Unless otherwise specified, the on-site material obtained from the project
excavations may be used as fill or backfill, provided that all organic material,
rubbish, debris, and other objectionable material contained therein is first
removed.. In the event that expansive materials are encountered during
foundation excavations within 3 feet of finished grade and they have not been
properly processed, they shall be entirely removed or thoroughly mixed with
good, granular material before. incorporating them in fills. NO footing shall be
allowed to bear on soils which, in the opinion of the soils engineer, are
detrimentally expansive -- unless designed forthis'clayey condition
However, rocks, boulders, broken Portland cement concrete, and bituminous-
type pavement obtained from the project excavations may be permitted in the
backfill or fill with the following limitations:
1. The maximum dimension of any piece used in the top 10 feet shall beno
larger than 6 inches.*
2 Clods or hard lumps of earth of 6 inches in greatest dimension shallb.e
broken up before compacting the material in fill. '
3.. If the fill material originating from the project excavation contains large
rocks, boulders, or hard lumps that cannot be broken readily, pieces
ranging from 6 inches in diameter to 2 feet in maximum dimension may
be used in fills below final subgrade if all pieces are placed in such a
manner (such as windrows) as to eliminate nesting or voids between
them. No rocks over 4 feet will be allowed in the fill. . .
4'. Pieces larger than 6 inches shall not be placed within 1'2 inches 'of any
structure. . .
.
5 Pieces larger than 3 inches shall not be placed within 12 inches of the
subgrade for paving.
6. .Rockfills containing less than 40 percent of soil passing 3/4-inch sieve
may-be-permitted in designated areas Specific recommendations shall be
made by the soils engineer and be subject to approval by the,,city
engineer.
T ., Continuous observation by the, soils engineer is required during rock
placement.
85
Special and/or -additional recommendations iiiay'be provided in.. writing by
the soils engineer to modify, clarify, or amplify these specifications.
During grading operations, soil types other, than those analyzed in the soil
investigation report may be. encountered by the contractor. The soils
engineer shall be consulted to evaluate the suitability of these soils as fill
materials.
Placing and Compacting, Fill Material
1. After preparing the areas to be. filled, the approved fill material shall be
placed in approximately horizontal layers, with lift thickness compatible. to
the material being placed and the..type of equipment being used. Unless
otherwise approved by the soils engineer, each layer spread 'for
compaction shall not exceed 8 inches of loose thickness. Adequate
drainage of the fill shall be provided at all times during the constructiän'
period.. . . . .
2.. When the moisture content of the fill material, is below that specified by
the engineer, water shall be added to it until the moisture content is as
specified.
When the moisture content of the fill 'material is above that specified by
the engineer, resulting in inadequate compaction or unstable fill, the fill
material shall be aerated by blading and scarifying or other satisfactory
methods' until the -moisture content is as spé'çified. . .
4 After each layer has been placed, mixed, and spread evenly,..it shall be
thoroughly compacted to not less than the density set forth in' the
specifications Compaction shall be accomplished with sheepsfoot rollers,
multiple-wheel pneurnatic-ired rollers, or other approved types of
acceptable compaction equipment Equiment shall be of such design
that it will be able to compact the fill to the specified relative compaction
Compaction' shall cover they entire' fill area,-:and the equipment shal'lmake
sufficient trips to ensure that the desired density has been obtained
throughout the entire fill At locations where it would be impractical due
to inaccessibility of rolling compacting equipment, fill layers shall be
compacted to the specified requirements by hand-directed compaction
equipment. '
5. When soil types or combination of soil types are encountered ,whiôh 'tend
to develop densely packed surfaces as a result of spreading or
compacting operations, the surface of each layer of fill shall be
sufficiently roughened after compaction to ensure bond to the succeeding
layer.
Unless otherwise specified, fill slopes shall not be steeper than 2.0
horizontal to 1.0 vertical. In general, fill slopes shall be finished in
conformance with the lines and grades shown on the plans. The surfce
f fill slopes shall be .overfilled to a distance from finished slopes such
that it will allow compaction equipment to operate freely within the zone
of the finished slope; and then cut back to the finished grade to expose
the compacted core. AIternate"compaction procedures include the
backrolling of lopes with sheepsfoot rollers in increments of 3 to 5 feet
in elevation gain. Alternate methods maybe used by the contractor, but
they shall be evaluated for approval by the soils engineer.
Unless otherwise specified, all allowed expansive fill material shall be.
compacted to a moisture content of apprOximately 2 to 4 percent above
the optimum moisture content. Nonexpansive fill shall be compacted, at
near-optimum moisture content All fill shall be compacted, unless
otherwise specified, to a relative compaction not less than 95 percent for
fill in the upper 12 inches of subgrades under areas to be paved with
asphalt concrete or Portland concrete, and not less than 90 percent fOr
other fill The relative compaction is the ratio of the dry unit weight of
the compacted fill to the laboratory maximum dry unit weight of a sample
of the same soil, obtained in accordance with A.S.T.M. 0-1 557 test
method.
The observation and periodic testing by the soils, engineer are intended to
provide the contractor with an ongoing measure of the quality of the fill.
compaction operation. It is the responsibility of the grading contractor to
utilize this information to establish the degrees of compactive effort
required on the,-project.More importantly, it is the responsibility of the
grading contractor to ensure that proper compactive effort is applied at all
times during the grading opératioñ, including during the absence of soils
engineering representatives.
Trench, Backfill . .
1. . Trench excavations Which extend under gaded lots, paved areas, areas
under the influence of'structural loading, in slopes or close to.slope areas,
shall be backfilled under the observations and testing of the- soils
engineer. All trenches not falling within the aforementioned locations
shall be 'backfilled in accordance with the City or County regulating
agency specifications.,
2. Unless otherwise specified, the minimum degree of compaction shall be
90 percent of the laboratory maximum dr density'.
3'. Any soft, spongy, unstable, or other similar material encountered in the
trench excavation upon which the bedding material or pipe is to be
placed, shall be removed, to a depth recommended by the soils engineer
and replaced with bedding materials suitably densified.
Bedding material shall first be placed so that the pipe is supported for the
full length of the barrel with full bearing on the bottom segment. After
the needed testing of the pipe is accomplished, the bedding shall be
completed to at least 1 foot on top of the pipe. The' bedding shall be
properly densified before backfill is placed Bedding shall consist of
granular material, with a sand equivalent not less than 30, or other
material approved by the engineer.
No rocks greater than 6 inches in diameter will be 'allowed in the backfill
placed between 1 foot above the ''pipe and 1 foot below finished
subgrade. Rocks greater than 2.5 inches in any dimension will not be
allowed in the backfill placed within 1 foot of pavement subgrade.
Material for mechanically compacted backfill shall be placed in lifts of
horizontal layers and properly moistened prior to compaction. In addition,
the layers shall have a thickness compatible with the, material being
placed and the type of equipment being u-sed. Each layer shall be evenly
spread, moistened or dried, and then tamped or rolled until the specified
relative compaction has been attained.
' Backfill, shall be. mechanically compacted by means of tamping rollers,
sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic' tire rollers, vibratory rollers, or other
mechanical 'tampers. Impact-type pavement breakers (stompers) 'will not
be permitted over, clay, asbestos cement, plastic, cast. iron, or
nonreinforced. concrete pipe. Permission to use 'specific compaction
equipment shall not be construed as guaranteeing or implying that the use
of such equipment will not result in damage to adjacent ground, existing
improvements, or' improvements installed 'under the contract. ' The,
contractor shall make his/her own determination in this regard.
Jetting'shall not be .permitted as a compaction method unless the.soils
engineer allows it in writing. . '
S. Clean granular material shall not-be. used as backfill or bedding in trenches
located in slope areas or within a distance:-of 10 feet of the top of slopes
unless provisions are made for a drainage system to mitigate the potential
buildup of seepage forces into the slope mass.
Observations and Testing
1. The soils engineers or their representatives shall sufficiently observe and
test the grading operations so that they can state their opinion as' to
whether or not the fill was constructed in accordance with the.
specifications.
:2. The soils engineers or their representatives shall take sufficient density
tests during the placement of compacted fill. The contractor'. should
assist the soils engineer and/or his/her representative by digging test pits
for removal determinations and/or for testing compacted fill In addition,
the contractor should cooperate with the soils engineer by removing or
shutting down equipment from the area being tested.
Fill shall be tested for compliance with the recommended relative
compaction and moisture conditions. Field density testing should' be
performed by using' approved methods by A.S.T.M., such as A.S.T.M..
D1556, 02922, and/or D2937. Tests to evaluate 'density of compacted
fill should be provided on the basis of not less than one test for each 2-
foot vertical lift of the fill, but not less than one, test for each 1,000 cubic
yards of fill placed Actual test intervals may vary as field conditions
dictate In fill slopes, approximately half of the tests shall be made at the
fill, slope, except that not more than one test needs tb be, made for each
50 horizontal feet of slope in, each 2-foot vertical lift. Actual' test
intervals may. vary as field conditions dictate,.
FilIfound not to be in conformance with the grading recommendations
should be removed or' o'therwise'handled as recommended by the' soils
engineer.
Site Protection'
It shall be. the, grading contractor's obligation to take all measures deemed
necessary' during grading' to' maintain, adequate' safety measures and-.working-
conditions, and to. provide erosion-control devices: for the protection of
excavated areas, slope areas, finished work on the site and adjoining properties,
from storm damage and flood hazard originating on the project. It shall bethe
contractor's responsibility to maintain 'slopes in their as-graded form until all
slopes are in satisfactory compliance with the job specifications, all berms and
benches have been properly constructed, and all associated drainage devices
have been installed and meet the requirements of the specifications.
All observations, testing services, and approvals given by the soils engineer
and/or geologist shall not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibilities of
performing the work in accordance with these specifications
After grading is completed and the soils engineer has finished his/her
observations and/or testing of the work, no further excavation' or filling shall be
done except under his/her observations.
Adverse Weather Conditions
Precautions shall be taken by the contractor during the performance of
site clearing, excavations, and grading to protect the worksite from
flooding, ponding, or inundation by. poor or improper surface drainage.
Temporary provisions shall be made during the rainy season to adequately
direct surface drainage away from and off the worksite. Where low areas
cannot be avoided, pumps should be kept on hand to continually remove
water during periods of rainfall.
During periods of rainfall, plastic sheeting shall be kept reasonably
accessible to prevent unprotected slopes from becoming saturated.
Where necessary during periods of rainfall, the contractor shall install
checkdams, desilting basins, rip-rap, sandbags, or , other ' devices, or
methods necessary to control erosion and provide safe conditions.
During periods of rainfall, the soils engineer should be kept informed by
the contractor as to the nature of remedial or preventative work being
performed (e.g. pumping, placement 'of sandbags or plastic sheeting,
otherlabor, dozing, etc.).
Following periods of rainfall, the contractor shall contact the soils
engineer and arrange a walk-over of the site in order to visually assess
rain-related damage. The soils engineer may also recommend excavations
and testing in order to aid in his/her assessments At the request of the
soils engineer, the contractor shall 'make excavations in order to evaluate
the extent of rain-relat'ed damage.
5 Rain-related damage,,shall be considered to include,, but may not be urn ied,
to, erosion, silting, saturation, swelling, structural distress, and other
adverse conditions identified by the soils engineer. Soil" adversely
affected shall be classified as Unsuitable Materials, and shall be subject to
overexcavation and replacement with compacted fill or other remedial
grading, as recommended by the soils engineer
6 Relatively level areas, where saturated soils and/or erosion gullies exist to
depths of greater than "1.0 foot, shall be overexcavated to unaffected,
competent material Where less than 1.0 foot in depth,-,unsuitable
materials may be processed in place to achieve.'-near-optimum moisture
conditions, then thoroughly recompacted'in',accordance with the
applicable specifications If the desired results are not achieved, the
affected materials shall be over-excavated, then replaced in accordance
with the applicable specifications
71 In slope areas, where saturated soils and/or erosion gullies exist to depths
of greater than 1 0 foot, they shall be overexcavated and replaced as
compacted fill in accordance with the applicable specifications Where
affected materials exist to depths of 1.0 foot or less below proposed
finished grade, remedial grading by moisture-conditioning in place,
followed by thorough recompaction in accordance with the applicable
grading guidelines herein presented may be attempted If materials shall
be overexcavated and replaced as compacted fill, it shall be done in
accordance with the slope-repair recommendations herein As field
conditions dictate, other slope-repair procedures may be recommended by
the soils engineer.
