Gentlemen:
Presented herein are Pacific Soils Engineering, Inc.'s (PSE) geotechnical data and compaction test
results pertaining to the completion of Building Pads 1 through 10, Villas de La Costa, located in
the City of Carlsbad, California. The subject site was graded between April and June of 2004.
During this phase of grading, PSE observed and tested the rough and precise grading to prepare the
site for multi-family residential building pads and associated improvements.
Data and test results developed during this phase of grading are summarized in the text of this re-
port and on the enclosed 20-scale grading plans (Sheets 4 and 5 of 8) prepared by Hunsaker & As-
sociates. Also presented herein are foundation and slab recommendations based on field and labo-
ratory testing of as-graded soil conditions.

Slopes are considered surficially and grossly stable and will remain so under normal conditions.
To reduce exposure to erosion, landscaping of graded slopes should be accomplished as soon as
possible. Drainage berms and swales should be established and maintained to aid in long-term

- slope protection.
1.0 ENGINEERING GEOLOGY
1.1 Geologic Units
The geologic units encountered during the grading of the subject building pads in-
clude undocumented artificial fill (Map Symbol Qafu), artificial fill associated with
adjacent roadways (Map Symbol QafR), alluvium (Map Symbol Qal) and the bed-
rock of the Eocene-age Santiago Formation (Map Symbol Tsa). The as-graded dis-
tribution of these units and approximate removal bottom elevations are presented on
the enclosed 20-scale grading plans (Sheets 4 and 5 of 8). The following is a brief
description of these units.
1.1.1 Undocumented Artificial Fill (Map Symbol Qafu)
Undocumented artificial fill was encountered across most of the southwest
two-thirds of the parcel, as well as the extreme northeasterly corner. The
undocumented fill consisted of silty sands, sands, sandy clays and clays that
were slightly moist to moist, loose to moderately dense, and soft to firm.
The undocumented fill was removed in its entirety before placement of com-
pacted fill throughout the majority of the site. A small portion of undocu-
mented artificial fill remains in place at the extreme western and southern
edge of the project adjacent to Centella Street, due to property line restric-
tions.
1.1.2 Artificial Fill (Roadwavs) (Map Symbol QafR)
Undocumented artificial fill associated with roadways surround the Villa de
La Costa project on all but the southern side of the project. Reports or

documentation of the placement of this fill were not available. The fill ap-
pears to be comprised of locally derived material. Roadway fill slopes, to a
maximum height of fifteen (15) feet, toe-out onto the site subjacent to La
Costa Avenue and Rancho Santa Fe Road. It is uncertain if topsoil, allu-
vium or other documented fills were left-in-place below the roadway fills.
1.1.3 Alluvium (Map Symbol Qal)
Alluvium deposits were encountered in canyon drainages below the un-
documented fills onsite. These deposits consisted of reddish-brown to dark
brown sandy clays and clayey sands that were slightly moist to moist, and
moderately dense. Where possible, the alluvium was removed in its entirety
before placement of compacted fill throughout the majority of the site. A
small portion of alluvium remains in place at the extreme western edge of
the project adjacent to Centella Street due to property line restrictions.
1.1.4 Santiago Formation (Map Symbol Tsa)
Bedrock of the Santiago Formation underlies the site. The Santiago Forma-
tion onsite consists of siltstones, claystones and sandstones that are slightly
moist to moist and moderately hard to hard. The upper weathered zone of
Santiago Formation was removed before placement of compacted fill.
1.2 Structure
The onsite geologic structure is characterized according to the review of available
literature, maps, and geologic mapping performed during grading. The bedrock of
the Santiago Formation onsite exhibits northeast strikes with shallow dip angles (6-
8 degrees) to the northwest. Faulting was not observed onsite.
1.3 Corrective Grading
No corrective grading in the form of stabilization fills or buttresses was required
during this phase of grading.

Groundwater was not encountered during the grading of the subject site.
1.5 Conclusions
From an engineering geologic viewpoint, Building Pads 1 through 10, Villas de La
Costa, in the City of Carlsbad, California are suitable for their intended residential
use.
2.0 PROJECT GRADING
2.1 Compaction Test Results
Compaction test results are presented in Table I (Appendix A). Approximate loca-
tions are shown on the enclosed 20-scale grading plans (Sheets 4 and 5 of 8). Com-
paction testing was conducted utilizing Campbell Pacific Nuclear test gauges
(ASTM:D 2922 and D 3017) and the Sand Cone Method (ASTM:D 1556).
2.2 Removals
2.2.1 During this phase of grading, the removal of unsuitable material (alluvium
and undocumented artificial fill) was accomplished in the majority of struc-
tural fill areas to expose competent Santiago Formation bedrock materials.
Property line restrictions limited total removals of undocumented fill and al-
luvium in the western edge of the project adjacent to Centella Street. The
as-mapped distribution of these units is shown on Sheet 5 of 8.
No removals were performed within Lot 11, the temporarily remaining fire
station in the north-central portion of the site. Vertical removals were per-
formed around the perimeter of Lot 11 to minimize the structural influence
of underlying undocumented fill and alluvium on this phase of grading. It is
PSE's understanding that total removals of undocumented fill and alluvium

in Lot 11 will be accomplished during the second phase of grading when the
fire station is ultimately relocated.
Prior to compacted fill placement, the exposed surface was scarified, mois-
ture conditioned to near optimum moisture content and compacted in-place
to a minimum 90 percent of the laboratory maximum density (ASTM:D
1557-91).
2.2.2 Removals, excavations, cleanouts and processing in preparing fill areas were
observed by PSE's representative, prior to fill placement reported herein.
2.3 Compacted Fill Placement
Fill consisting of the soil types indicated in Table I was placed in thin lifts [ap-
proximately six- (6) to eight- (8) inches], moisture conditioned to optimum moisture
content or slightly above, and compacted to a minimum 90 percent of the laboratory
maximum dry density (ASTM:D 1557-91). This was accomplished utilizing self-
propelled, rubber-tired compactors, along with heavy earth moving equipment.
Each succeeding fill lift was treated in a similar manner.
2.4 DeDth of Fill
Compaction testing was performed approximately for each one (1) to two (2) feet of
fill placed. The maximum vertical depth of fill placed during this phase of grading
is approximately twenty nine and one-half (29.5) feet beneath Building Pad No. 10.
The maximum vertical depth of fill placed is summarized in Table II (Appendix A).
2.5 Cut/Fill Transition Building Pads
Building Pads 1,2, 3,4,5,6,8,9 and 10 were cut/fill transition pads on which the
cut and shallow fill portions of the pad were overexcavated a minimum of five (5)
feet and replaced with compacted fill.

2.6 Fill Slope Construction
2.6.1 Fill slopes were overbuilt by at least two (2) horizontal feet and trimmed
back to design grade. Upon grading completion, the slopes were shaped and
further compacted by track walking.
2.6.2 Finish slope surfaces have been probed and/or tested and are considered to
satisfy the project requirements and the grading codes of the City of Carls-
bad.
Slopes are subject to erosion and creep. As such, landscaping and imgation
management are important elements in the long-term performance of slopes
and should be established and maintained as soon as possible and through-
out the life of the project.
2.7 Structural Influence Zone
A structural influence zone exists in the western and northern edge of the site, as
depicted on Sheet 5 of 8. Centella Street to the west and the existing fire station
(Lot 11) to the north limited the possibility of complete undocumented fill and allu-
vium removals. A structural influence zone has been established at a 1 : 1 projec-
tion from the lower edge of the remaining undocumented fill and alluvium back up
to the design grades. It is PSE's recommendation that the footings for the proposed
buildings should be outside or extend by a minimum of twelve (12) inches below
the projection of the structural influence zone. Any improvements, (utilities, con-
crete flatwork, etc.) within the structural influence zone could be subject to potential
settlement and should be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer on a case-by-case
basis.

3.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The subject site is scheduled for residential use. It is anticipated that one- and two-story,
multi-family residential structures will be constructed utilizing wood-frame and slab-on-
gade foundation systems.
4.0 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 Expansion Index Tests
Materials utilized for compacted fill ranged from "low" to "high" in expansion po-
tential. Sampling of the post-grading soil conditions was conducted to determine
the expansion index per UBC Standard No. 18-2. That evaluation revealed "me-
dium" to "high" expansive materials on the subject building pads. Laboratory test
data are presented in Table 4.1.

4.2 Foundation Design Criteria
Residential structures can be supported on conventional shallow foundations and
slab-on-grade or post-tensioned slab/foundation systems. Based on the data pre-
sented in Table 4.1, the following foundation design criteria are recommended.
Allowable Bearing: 2000 lbs./sq. A. (assuming a minimum embedment
depth of 12-inches and a minimum width of 12 inches).
Lateral Bearing: 250 lbs./sq. ft. per foot of depth to a maximum of 2000
lbs./sq. ft.
Sliding Coefficient: 0.35
Settlement: Building Pads 2 - 7.9. 10
Total = 3/4-inch
Differential = 3/8-inch in 20 feet
Building Pads 1, 8
Total =1 inch
Differential = 1/2-inch in 20 feet
The above values may be increased as allowed by Code to resist transient loads such
as wind or seismic. Building Code and structural design considerations may gov-
em. Depth and reinforcement requirements should be evaluated by the structural
engineer.
4.3 Post-Tensioned Foundation Svstems
If the developer elects to utilize post-tensioned slab/foundation systems, design and
construction should be undertaken by firms experienced in the field. It is the re-
sponsibility of the foundation design engineer to select the design methodology and
properly design the following system for the soils conditions indicated herein.
The slab designer should provide deflection potential to the project architect/ struc-
tural engineer for incorporation into the design of the structure. The design parame-
ters relating to edge moisture variation and differential swell according to the Post-

Footinp Embedment
If exterior footings adjacent to drainage swales are to exist within five (5) feet horizontally of the swale, the footing
should be embedded sufficiently to assure embedment below the swale bottom is maintained. Footings adjacent to
slopes should be embedded such that at least seven (7) feet are provided horizontally from edge of the footing to the

4.4 Seismic Design
Seismic design should be based on current and applicable building code require-
ments and the parameters presented below in Table 4.3. The nearest known active
fault is the Rose Canyon Fault Zone, located approximately 6.6 miles (10.7 km)
from the subject site. Lot specific seismic soil profile types are listed on Table II.

4.4.1 Seismically Induced Liquefaction or Dynamic Settlement
Based upon PSE's observations during grading and due to the competency
and density of the compacted fills and supporting bedrock, the potential for
seismically induced liquefaction or dynamic settlement is considered to be
very low.
4.5 Moisture Barrier
Slab-on-grade foundation systems should be underlain with a moisture bamer to
minimize the potential for moisture migration from the subgrade soils through the
slab. It is recommended that the moisture bamer should also be placed below the
PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC.
Work Order 400942
July 19,2004
Page 11
garage slab. Minimally, it is recommended that the moisture barrier should consist
of a 10-mil polyvinyl membrane. Care should be taken during construction so that
the IO-mil polyvinyl membrane is not punctured or violated. Further, it is recom-
mended that the polyvinyl membrane should be overlapped or glued at the joints to
further reduce the potential of moisture and/or vapor migration.
4.6 Minimum Depth of Embedment
For the subject site, where foundations for residential structures are to exist in prox-
imity to slopes, the footings should be embedded to satisfy the requirements pre-
sented in Figure 1.

4.7 Backyard Improvements
Future improvements such as patios, slabs, pools, and perimeter screen walls can be
constructed within the setback zones; however, the design and siting of all such im-
provements should be reviewed by a soil engineer who is familiar with hillside
grading techniques, in general, and the site-specific conditions in particular. Foot-
ings for the perimeter walls at the top of natural slopes should be founded in compe-
tent, unweathered bedrock or compacted fill. This may require deepening to extend
through weathered zones or colluviated areas adjacent to daylight cuts. All walls
should be structurally separated at twenty- (20) foot, or less increments, and at per-
pendicular comers

4.8.2 Retaining Wall Foundations
Retaining walls should be founded on compacted fill or bedrock. Founda-
tion design for retaining walls should be in accordance with recommenda-
tions presented in Section 4.2.
4.8.3 Other Design Considerations
Additional surcharge loads should be included in addition to the values
listed above. In addition, the design engineer should consider K,, (-) when
retaining walls are positioned at the top of slopes and/or on the face of
slopes. Retaining wall design should consider additional surcharge loads
from supejacent slopes and/or footings, where appropriate.
4.8.4 Retaining Wall Backfill. Waterproofing and Drainaee Systems
Cantilever and/or restrained retaining walls should be waterproofed to ac-
commodate the anticipated irrigation water to minimize water marks. Addi-
tionally, retaining walls should be backfilled with a free draining material
(SE > 20) extending horizontally from the back of the retaining wall a
minimum of one-half (0.5) the height of the retaining wall to within twelve
(12) inches of grade (Figure 2). Backfill should be compacted to project
specifications. Native soils shall be utilized in the upper twelve (12) inches.
Drainage systems including should consist, as a minimum, of four- (4) inch
diameter perforated drain line surrounded by four (4) cubic feet per lineal
foot of three-quarters- (3/4) inch to one- (1) inch crushed rock wrapped with
a suitable filter fabric, should be provided to cantilever and restrained retain-
ing walls to relieve hydrostatic pressure.

...
External loads that may affect the shoring include: 1) groundwater; 2) adjacent un-
derground conduits and utilities; 3) surface and sub-surface structures; 4) loading
and vibration from traffic and construction equipment; and 5) loads that may be ap-
plied by construction supplies and excavation soil.
4.10 Exterior Slabs and Walkways
4.10.1
4.10.2
4.10.3
Subgrade Moisture
The subgrade below exterior slabs, sidewalks, driveways, patios, etc.
should be moisture conditioned to a minimum of 130 percent of optimum
moisture content prior to concrete placement.
Slab Thickness
Concrete flatwork and driveways should be designed utilizing four- (4)
inch minimum thickness. Consideration should be given to constructing a
deepened perimeter footing for concrete adjacent to landscaped areas.
Control Joints
Weakened plane joints should be installed on walkways at intervals of ap-
proximately eight (8) feet. Exterior slabs should be designed to withstand
shrinkage of the concrete.

4.10.4 Flatwork Reinforcement
Consideration should be given to reinforcing exterior flatwork using
minimum reinforcement of No. 6 Welded Wire Mesh on 6 by 6 inches.
4.1 1 Chemical Testing
Soluble sulfate testing has been conducted on the subject site. Laboratory tests in-
dicate that subgrade soils possess "negligible" to "severe" sulfate concentrations in
accordance with Table 19-A-4 (UBC 1997). Accordingly, structural concrete for
Buildings 1 through 10 should be designed for "severe" sulfate exposure. Determi-
nation as to the need and specification for sulfate resistant concrete and cathodic
protection for metal construction materials should be provided by an engineer(s)
specializing in corrosion. Test results are presented in Appendix B.
5.0 OTHER DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Site Drainage
Positive drainage away from structures should be provided and maintained. Roof,
pad and slope drainage should be collected and directed away fiom the proposed
structures to approved disposal areas. It is important that drainage be directed away
from foundations. This is especially true in patio areas and greenbelt areas. The
recommended drainage patterns should be established at the time of fine grading
and maintained throughout the life of the structure
5.2 Service Utility Trench Backfill
Service utility trench backfill should be accomplished in accordance with the pre-
vailing criteria of the City of Carlsbad.
PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC.

5.3 Seismic Design
Seismic design should be based upon current and applicable building code require-
ments.
6.0 OWNER CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES
During and upon completion of mass grading of the subject site, representative soil samples
were tested for expansive soil characteristics and soluble sulfate concentrations. The re-
sults of these tests are presented in Table 4.1 and Appendix B of this report. In addition,
certain lots contain manufactured slopes within or adjacent to the building pad area. All of
these conditions should be considered in design, construction, and maintenance of owner
improvements. The owners should be advised of certain responsibilities they must accept
in consideration of these factors. Suggested information to educate the owners regarding
these responsibilities is presented in Appendix C. We suggest that this information be pro-
vided to the owners as part of an information packet.

Owner Maintenance and
Improvement Considerations
PACIFIC SOILS ENOINEERING. INC.
Work Order 400942
July 19,2004
OWNER MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
General
Owners purchasing property must assume a certain degree of responsibility for owner improve-
ments and for maintaining conditions around their home. Of primary importance are maintaining
drainage patterns and minimizing the soil moisture variation below all lot improvements. Such
design, construction and owner maintenance provisions may include:
t Employing contractors for owner improvements who design and build in recognition of local
building codes and specific site soils conditions.
t Establishing and maintaining positive drainage away from all foundations, walkways, drive-
ways, patios, and other hardscape improvements.
t Avoiding the construction of planters adjacent to structural improvements. Alternatively,
planter sideshottoms can be sealed with an impermeable membrane and drained away from
the improvements via subdrains into approved disposal areas.
t Sealing and maintaining constructiodcontrol joints within concrete slabs and walkways to
reduce the potential for moisture infiltration into the subgrade soils.
+ Utilizing landscaping schemes with vegetation that requires minimal watering. Watering
should be done in a uniform manner, as equally as possible on all sides of the foundation,
keeping the soil 'moist' but not allowing the soil to become saturated.
PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC.
Work Order 400942
July 19,2004
+ Maintaining positive drainage away from structures and providing roof gutters on all struc-
tures with downspouts that are designed to carry roof runoff directly into area drains or dis-
charged well away from the foundation areas.
+ Avoiding the placement of trees closer to the proposed structures than a distance of one-half
the mature height of the tree.
+ Observation of the soil conditions around the perimeter of the structure during extremely
hotidry or unusually wet weather conditions so that modifications can be made in imgation
programs to maintain relatively uniform moisture conditions.
Sulfates
Owners should be cautioned against the import and use of certain inorganic fertilizers, soil
amendments, and/or other soils from offsite sources in the absence of specific information relat-
ing to their chemical composition. Some fertilizers have been known to leach sulfate compounds
into soils otherwise containing 'negligible' sulfate concentrations and increase the sulfate concen-
trations to potentially detrimental levels. In some cases, concrete improvements constructed in
soils containing high levels of soluble sulfates may be affected by crystalline growth or mineral
accumulation, which may, in the long term, result in deterioration and loss of strength.
Site Drainage
+ The owners should be made aware of the potential problems that may develop when drainage
is altered through construction of retaining walls, swimming pools, paved walkways, patios
or other hardscape improvements. Ponded water, drainage over the slope face, leaking imga-
tion systems, overwatering or other conditions which could lead to ground saturation must be
avoided.
PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC.
Work Order 400942
July 19,2004
t No water should be allowed to flow over the slopes. No alteration of pad gradients should be
allowed that would prevent pad and roof runoff from being directed to approved disposal ar-
eas.
t As part of site maintenance by the resident, all roof and pad drainage should be directed away
from slopes and around structures to approved disposal areas. All berms were constructed
and compacted as part of fine grading and should be maintained by the resident. Drainage
patterns have been established at the time of the fine grading should be maintained through-
out the life of the structure. No alterations to these drainage patterns should be made unless
designed by qualified professionals in compliance with local code requirements and site-
specific soils conditions.
- Slope Drainage
t Residents should be made aware of the importance of maintaining and cleaning all intercep-
tor ditches, drainage terraces, downdrains, and any other drainage devices, which have been
installed to promote slope stability.
t Subsurface drainage pipe outlets may protrude through slope surfaces and/or wall faces.
These pipes, in conjunction with the graded features, are essential to slope and wall stability
and must be protected in-place. They should not be altered or damaged in any way.
Planting and Irrigation of Slopes
t Seeding and planting of the slopes should be planned to achieve, as rapidly as possible, a
well-established and deep-rooted vegetal cover requiring minimal watering.
PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC.
Work Order 400942
July 19,2004
t It is the responsibility of the landscape architect to provide such plants initially and of the
residents to maintain such planting. Alteration of such a planting scheme is at the resident's
risk.
t The resident is responsible for proper irrigation and for maintenance and repair of properly
installed irrigation systems. Leaks should be fixed immediately.
t Sprinklers should be adjusted to provide maximum uniform coverage with a minimum of wa-
ter usage and overlap. Overwatering with consequent wasteful runoff and serious ground
saturation must be avoided.
t If automatic sprinkler systems are installed, their use must be adjusted to account for seasonal
and natural rainfall conditions.
Burrowing Animals
t Owners must undertake a program to eliminate burrowing animals. This must be an ongoing
program in order to promote slope stability.

Owner Imorovements
Owner improvements (pools, spas, patio slabs, retaining walls, planters, etc.) should be designed
to account for the terrain of the project, as well as expansive soil conditions and chemical charac-
teristics. Design considerations on any given lot may need to include provisions for differential
bearing materials, axendingdescending slope conditions, bedrock structure, perched (imgation)
water, special geologic surcharge loading conditions, expansive soil stresses, and long-term
creepkettlement.
~
PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC.
Work Order 400942
July 19,2004
All owner improvements should be designed and constructed by qualified professionals utilizing
appropriate design methodologies, which account for the on-site soils and geologic conditions.
Each lot and proposed improvement should be evaluated on an individual basis.
Setback Zones
Fill slopes have been manufactured on site to maximum heights of approximately nine and one
half (9 1/2) feet. Manufactured slopes may be subject to long-term settlement and creep that can
manifest itself in the form of both horizontal and vertical movement. These movements typically
are produced as a result of weathering, erosion, gravity forces, and other natural phenomenon. A
setback adjacent to slopes is required by most building codes, including the Uniform Building
Code. This zone is intended to locate and support the residential structures away from these
slopes and onto soils that are not subject to the potential adverse effects of these natural phenom-
ena.

-
The owner may wish to construct patios, walls, walkways, planters, swimming pools, spas, etc.
within this zone. Such facilities may be sensitive to settlement and creep and should not be con-
structed within the setback zone unless properly engineered. It is suggested that plans for such
improvements be designed by a professional engineer who is familiar with hillside grading ordi-
nances and design and construction requirements associated with hillside conditions. In addition,
we recommend that the designer and contractor familiarize themselves with the site specific geo-
- logic and geotechnical conditions on the specific lot.
