Dear Mr. Rodgers and Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services.
during mitigative grading within Phase 9, Lots 26, 27, 28, 80, 81, 82, and 83 of Planning
Area 17, at Robertson Ranch, East Village Subdivision in the City of Carlsbad, California.
The purpose of remedial grading was to reprocess the subject lots in accordance with
recommendations presented in Reference Nos. 1 and 2. For the subject, low expansive
Lots, earthwork (per Reference Nos. 1 and 2) minimally consisted of processing the upper
12 inches of existing fill soil across each lot, compacting and moisture conditioning to at
least 90 percent at, or above the soils optimum moisture content. Due to the presence of
a former rock crusher site in thevicinity, some removals were locally completed below pad.
grades. In these areas, the exposed bottoms were processed, moisture conditioned and
compacted to a depth of 12 additional inches, then brought to grade with compacted fill,
at, or above the soils optimum moisture content.
Where tested, reprocessed and/or fill material was compacted to at least 90 percent
relative compaction, at the recommended moisture contents per ASTM D 1557, in
accordance with GSI recommendations (see Reference No. 1).
Based on our observations and testing, the building pads appear to have been prepared
in general accordance with the recommendations provided by this office (see Reference
Nos. 1, 2, and 3), and are considered suitable for development from a geotechnical
standpoint.
Field Observation and Testing
Field density tests were performed using nuclear (densometer) ASTM test method D 6938
(Procedure A). The test results taken during grading operations are presented in the
attached copies of our "Field Testing Reports."
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture. content for the major soil type
within this construction phase were determined in general accordance with test' method
ASTM D 1557. The following table presents the results:
-
i SOIL TYPE -. -
MAXIMUM
DENSIT'((PCF) -'
MOISTURE CONTENT'
I (PERCENT)
18 - Dark Brown, Clayey SAND I 114.0 I -
13.0
Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appear to meet the minimum compaction
requirements previously established and adopted by the City of Carlsbad (i.e., at least
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557), and recent tests also indicate over
optimum soil moisture content, in general accordance with GSl's reports (Reference Nós.
1 and 3). Should a significant (i.e., three to seven days) period of time pass prior to slab
construction, additional moisture conditioning and/or re-establishing consistency, as well
as pad subgrade proof testing may be necessary, prior to placement of the underslab
vapor retarder (see Reference Nos. 1, and 3).
Foundation Design/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 2, are generally considered valid and applicable with respect
to the construction and development of the subject building pads. Based on our review
of Reference No. 3, All lots are categorized as foundation Category lPT. If building code
updates are adopted prior to the development of these pads, an additional geotechnical
update report may be necessary.

Based on a review of the precise grading plans (Reference No. , foundations for fireplace
pop outs, and potentially some isolated exterior footings may be impacted by the proximity
to planned side yard drainage swales and side yard subdrain trenches. In order to mitigate
the potential for settlement, these footings may need to be deepened. In cross section,
deepened footings should extend to a bearing depth of at least 6 inches below the bottom
of the adjacent swale flow line elevation or deepened below a 1:1 project extending up and
away from the bottom outside edge of the .subdrain trench, whichever is deeper.
Additional footing depths ranging from 6 to 12 inches (total footing embedment of 18 to
30 inches) should be anticipated locally.
Closure
The materials encountered on the project site and utilized for our analysis are believed
representative of the area; however, soil and bedrock materials vary in character between
excavations and natural outcrops or conditions exposed during mass grading. Site
conditions may vary due to seasonal changes or other factors. Inasmuch as our study is
based upon our review and engineering analyses and laboratory data, the conclusions and
recommendations are professional opinions. These opinions have been derived in
accordance with current standards of practice, and no warranty, either express or implied,
is given. Standards of practice are subject to change with time. GSI assumes no
responsibility or liability for work or testing performed by others, or their inaction; or work

Dear Mr. Rodgers and Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within Phase 4 Lots 40 Through 43, and 64 Through 67, and
Phase 5 Lots 35 through 39, and Lots 68,69 of Planning Area 17, at Robertson Ranch, East
Village Subdivision in the City of Carlsbad, California. The purpose of remedial grading
was to reprocess the subject lots in accordance with recommendations presented in
Reference Nos. 1 and 2. For the subject, very low to low expansive (Expansion Index [E.l.]
0-20) Lots 35 through 43, earthwork consisted of processing (scarifying), moisture
conditioning, and compacting the upper 12 inches of building pad subgrade. Where
tested, reprocessed fill material was compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction,
at optimum, or greater soil moisture content. For medium expansive (Expansion Index
[E.l.] 51-90) Lots 64 through 69, earthwork consisted of removing the upper 12 inches of
existing fill soil across the lots. Once removals were completed, the exposed bottoms were
¶ I
processed, moisture conditioned and compacted to a depth of 12 additional inches, then
broughtto grade with compacted fill, such thatthe upper 24 inches has been reprocessed.
Where tested, reprocessed and/or fill material was compacted to at least 90 percent
relative compaction, at 2 percent to 3 percent above the soils optimum moisture content
per ASTM D 1557 (see Reference No. 1) per GSI recommendations.
Based on our observations and testing, the building pads appear to have been prepared
in general accordance with the recommendations provided by this office (see Reference
Nos. 1, 2, and 3), and are considered suitable for development from a geotechnical
standpoint.
Field Observation and Testing
Field density tests were performed using nuclear (densometer) ASTM test method D 6938
(Procedure A). The test results taken during grading operations are presented in the
attached copies of our "Field Testing Reports."
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the major soil type
within this construction phase were determined in general accordance with test method
ASTM D 1557. The following table presents the results:

Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appear to meet the minimum compaction
requirements previously established and adopted by the City of Carlsbad (i.e., at least
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557), and recent tests indicate over optimum
soil moisture content, per GSl's reports (Reference Nos. 1 and 3). Should a significant

conditioning and/or re-establishing consistency, as well as pad subgrade proof testing may
be necessary, prior to placement of the underslab vapor retarder (see Reference Nos. 1,
and 3).

Foundation Design/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 2, are generally considered valid and applicable with respect
to the construction and development of the subject building pads. Based on our review
of Reference No. 3, Lot Nos. 35 through 38, and 43 are categorized as foundation
Category IPT, based on low expansive soil conditions. Lots 39 through 42,64,65,68, and
69 are categorized as foundation Category lIPT, based on medium expansive soil
conditions, and/or as-built fill depths (see Reference No. 3). Due to as-built fill depths (see
Reference No. 3), Lots 66, and 67 are categorized as foundation Category IlIPT. If building
code updates are adopted prior to the development of these pads, an additional
geotechnical update report may be necessary.
Based on a review of the precise grading plans (Reference No. 4), foundations for fireplace
pop outs, and,potentially some isolated exterior footings may be impacted by the proximity
to planned side yard drainage swales and side yard subdrain trenches. In order to mitigate
the potential for settlement, these footings may need to be deepened. In cross section,
deepened footings should extend to a bearing depth of at least 6 inches below the bottom
of the adjacent swale flow line elevation or deepened below a 1:1 project extending up and
away from the bottom outside edge of the subdrain trench, whichever is deeper.
Additional footing depths ranging from 6 to 12 inches (total footing embedment of 18 to
30 inches) should be anticipated locally.

Dear Ms. Molina and Mr. Jaeger:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within Lots 226,260, and 261, Planning Area 18 (Sycamore atthe
Foothills), at the Robertson Ranch Subdivision in the City of Carlsbad, California. The
purpose of remedial grading was to reprocess lots that have remained fallow since the
completion of mass grading (see Reference Nos. 2 and 4). Earthwork generally consisted
of re-processing surficial soils, moisture conditioning, and placement/compaction of soil
to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent per ASTM D 1557, as recommended in
Reference Nos. 2 and 3). Based on our observations and testing, the building pads appear
to have been prepared in general accordance with the recommendations provided by this
office (see Reference Nos. 2 and 3), and are considered suitable for their continued
development. Should these pads remain undeveloped for a significant period of time after
this phase of grading, additional future mitigative earthwork will likely be recommended,
as presented in Reference Nos. 2 and 3.
Field Observation and Testing
For Lots 226 and 261, the upper 12 inches of soil was removed and recompacted in
accordance with recommendations presented in Reference No. 2, for medium expansive
soil conditions. Prior to filling, the exposed bottoms were ripped approximately 12 inches,
moisture conditioned to at least 2 to 3 percent above the soils optimum moisture content,
and reprocessed to achieve a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM
D 1557). Once the bottoms were processed, the pads were then restored to planned pad
grade with compacted fill, moisture conditioned to at least 2 to 3 percent above the soils
optimum moisture content, and a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM
D 1557). Thus, the upper 2 feet of the pads on Lots 226, and 261 were reprocessed during
this recent grading effort.
For Lot 260, the upper 12 inches of soil was removed and recompacted in accordance with
recommendations presented in Reference No. 3, for highly expansive soil conditions. Prior
to filling, the exposed bottoms were ripped approximately 12 inches, moisture conditioned
to at least 4 to 5 percent above the soils optimum moisture content, and reprocessed to
achieve a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM D 1557). Once the
bottoms were processed,. the pads were then restored to planned pad grade with
compacted fill, moisture conditioned to at least 4 to 5 percent above the soils optimum
moisturecontent, and a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM D 1557).
Thus, the upper 2 feet of the pad on Lot 260 .was reprocessed during this recent grading
effort.
Field density tests were performed using nuclear (densometer) ASTM test
method D 6938-10 (Procedure A). The test results taken during grading operations are
presented in the attached copies of our "Field Testing Reports."
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture contentforthe major soil type
within this reprocessing phase were determined according to test method ASTM D 1557.
The following table presents the results:

Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appear to meet the minimum compaction
requirements previously established and adopted by the City of Carlsbad (i.e., at least
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557), and recent tests completed for the
removal bottom indicate over optimum soil moisture, per the GSl reports (see Reference
No. 1 and 2). As previously recommended, should a significant period of time elapse prior

to slab construction where the slab subgrade has the potential to dry out, additional
moisture conditioning and/or re-establishing consistency, as well as pad subgrade proof
testing will be necessary prior to placement of the undersiab vapor retarder (see Reference
No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3).
Foundation Design/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 1, and Reference No. 4, are generally considered valid and
applicable with respect to the construction and development of the subject building pads.
If building code updates pass, or are adopted prior to the development of these pads, an
additional geotechnical update report may be necessary. Based on our review of
Reference No. 3, Lots 226, and 261 are Category II (medium expansive soils), while Lot
260 is Category Ill (highly expansive soils).
Closure
The materials encountered on the project site and utilized for our analysis are believed
representative of the area; however, soil and bedrock materials vary in character between
excavations and natural outcrops or conditions exposed during mass grading. Site
conditions may vary due to seasonal changes or other factors. Inasmuch as our study is
based upon our review and engineering analyses and laboratory data, the conclusions and
recommendations are professional opinions. These opinions have been derived in
accordance with current standards of practice, and no warranty, either express or implied,
is given. Standards of practice are subject to change with time. GSI assumes no
responsibility or liability for work or testing performed by others, or their inaction; or work
performed when GSl is not requested to be onsite, to evaluate if our recommendations
have been properly implemented. Use of this report constitutes an agreement and
consent by the user to all the limitations outlined above, notwithstanding any other
agreements that may be in place. In addition, this report may be subject to review by the
controlling authorities. Thus, this report brings to completion our scope of services for this
portion of the project.

completed, the exposed bottoms were processed, moisture conditioned and compacted
to a depth of 12 additional inches, then brought to grade with compacted fill, such that the
upper24 inches has been reprocessed. Wheretested, reprocessed and/orfill material was
compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction, at 2 percent to 3 percent above the
soils optimum moisture content per ASTM D 1557 (see Reference No. 2). Based on our
observations and testing, the building pads appear to have been prepared in general
accordance with the recommendations provided by this office (see Reference No. 2 and

Field Observation and Testing
Field density tests were performed using nuclear (densometer) ASTM test method D 6938
(Procedure A). The test results taken during grading operations are presented in the
attached copies of our "Field Testing Reports."
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the major soil type
within this construction phase were determined in general accordance with test method
ASTM D 1557. The following table presents the results:

Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appear to meet the minimum compaction
requirements previously established and adopted by the City of Carlsbad (i.e., at least
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557), and recent tests indicate over optimum
soil moisture content, per GSI's reports (Reference No. 2 and 4). Should a significant
(i.e., three to seven days) period of time pass prior to slab construction, additional moisture
conditionina and/or re-establishinci consistency, as well as Dad subcirade Droof testinci may
be necessary, prior to placement of the underslab vapor retarder (see Reference No. 2 and

Foundation Design/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 3, are generally considered valid and applicable with respect
to the construction and development of the subject building pads. Based on our review
of Reference No. 4, Lots 159, 190, and 191 are categorized as foundation Category lIPT,
based on medium expansive soil conditions, and/or as-built fill depths (see Reference No.

4). Due to as-built fill depths (see Reference No. 4), Lots 157, 158, and 192 are
categorized as foundation Category IlIPT. If building code updates are adopted prior to
the development of these pads, an additional geotechnical update report may be
necessary.
Based on a review of the current precise grading plans, foundations for fireplace pop outs,
and potentially some isolated exterior footings, will be impacted by the proximity to
planned side yard drainage swales and side yard subdrain trenches shown on Reference
No. 5. In order to mitigate the potential for settlement, these footings will need to be
deepened. In cross section, deepened footings should extend to a bearing depth of at
least 6 inches below the bottom of the adjacent swale flow line elevation or deepened
below a 1:1 project extending up and away from the bottom outside edge of the subdrain
trench, whichever is deeper. Additional footing depths ranging from 6 to 12 inches (total
footing embedment of 18 to 30 inches) should be anticipated locally.

Dear Mr. Rodgers and Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within the Model Phase, Lots 100 through 104 of Planning
Area 17, at Robertson Ranch, East Village Subdivision in the City of Carlsbad, California.
The purpose of remedial grading was to reprocess the subject lots in accordance with
recommendations presented in Reference No. 2. For the subject, medium expansive
(Expansion Index [E.l.] 51-90) lots, earthwork consisted of removing the upper 12 inches
of existing fill soil across the lots. Once removals were completed, the exposed bottoms
were processed, moisture conditioned and compacted to a depth of 12 additional inches,
then brought to grade with compacted fill, such that the upper 24 inches has been
reprocessed. Where tested, reprocessed and/or fill material was compacted to at least
90 percent relative compaction, at 2 percent to 3 percent above the soils optimum moisture
content per ASTM D 1557 (see Reference No. 2). Based on our observations and testing,
the building pads appear to have been prepared in general accordance with the
recommendations provided by this office (see Reference No. 2 and No. 4), and are
considered suitable for development from a geotechnical standpoint.
Field Observation and Testing
Field density tests were performed using nuclear (densometer) ASTM test method 06938
(Procedure A). The test results taken during grading operations are presented in the
attached copies of our "Field Testing Reports."
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the major soil type
within this construction phase were determined in general accordance with test method
ASTM D 1557. The following table presents the results:

Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appear to meet the minimum compaction
requirements previously established and adopted by the City of Carlsbad (i.e., at least
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557), and recent tests indicate over optimum
soil moisture content, per GSl's reports (Reference No. 2 and 4). Should a significant
(i.e., three to seven days) period of time pass priorto slab construction, additional moisture
conditioning and/or re-establishing consistency, as well as pad subgrade proof testing may
be necessary, prior to placement of the underslab vapor retarder (see Reference No. 2 and
No. 4).
Foundation Design/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 3, are generally considered valid and applicable with respect
to the construction and development of the subject building pads. Based on our review
of Reference No. 4, all of the subject lots are medium expansive. Lots 103 and 104 are
categorized as foundation Category IIPT, based on medium expansive soil Conditions.
However, due to as-built fill depths, Lots 100, 101, and 102 are categorized as foundation
Category IlIPT. If building code updates are adopted prior to the development of these
pads, an additional geotechnical update report may be necessary.

Dear Ms. Molina and Mr. Jaeger:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within Phase 6 (Lots 241 through 248), Planning Area 18
(Sycamore at the Foothills), at the Robertson Ranch Subdivision in the City of Carlsbad,
California. The purpose of remedial grading was to reprocess lots that have remained
fallow since the completion of mass grading (see Reference Nos. 2 and 3). Earthwork
generally consisted of re-processing surlicial soils, moisture conditioning, and
placement/compaction of soil to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent per
ASTM D 1557, as recommended in. Reference No. 2). Based on our observations and
testing, the building pads appear to have been prepared in general accordance with the
recommendations provided by this office (see Reference No. 2), and are considered
suitable for their continued development. Should these pads remain undeveloped for a
significant period of time after this phase of grading, additional future mitigative earthwork
will likely be recommended, as presented in Reference No. 2.
Field Observation and Testing
For Lots 24.1 through 248, the upper 12 inches Of soil was removed and recompacted in
accordance with recommendations presented in Reference No. 2, for medium expansive
soil conditions. Prior to filling, the exposed bottoms were ripped approximately 12 inches,
moisture conditioned to at least 2 to 3 percent above the soils optimum moisture content,
and reprocessed to achieve a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM
D 1557). Once the bottoms were processed, the pads were then restored to planned pad
grade with compacted fill, moisture conditioned to at least 2 to 3 percent above the soils
optimum moisture content, and a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM
D 1557). Thus, the upper 2 feet of the subject pads, were reprocessed during this recent
grading effort.
Field density tests were performed using nuclear (densometer) ASTM test
method D 6938-10 (Procedure A). The'test results taken during grading operations are
presented in the attached copies of our'"Field Testing Reports."
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the major soil type
within this reprocessing phase were determined according to test method ASTM D 1557.
The following table presents the results: .
MOISTURE cONTENT - -
SOIL ivpE;... .., I.. . DENSITY (PF) [_:. .. •. (PERCENT
0 - Yeflowish Gray silty SAND 127.0 , 11.0
M '- Yellowish Brown, Silty SAND w/clay . 123.0 . 13.0
Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appear to meet the minimum compaction
requirements previously established and adopted by the. City of Carlsbad (i.e., at least
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557), and recent tests completed for the
removal bottom indicate over optimum soil moisture per GSI reports (see Reference No.
1 and 2). However, due to warm weather conditions prevalent during grading, finish grade
testing indicates that subgrade building pad moisture has dried out and will require
additional moistening. As such, additional moisture conditioning is recommended and
should be verified, by this office prior to placement of the underslab vapor retarder. As
previously recommended, should a significant period of time elapse prior to slab
construction where the slab subgrade has the potential to dry out, additional moisture
conditioning and/or re-establishing consistency, as well as pad subgrade proof testing will
be necessary prior to placement of the underslab vapor retarder (see Reference No. 1 and
No. 2).

Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. .1, and Reference No. 3, are generally considered valid and
applicable with respect to the construction and development of the subject building pads.
If building code updates pass, or are adopted prior to the development of these pads, an
additional geotechnical update report may be necessary. Based on our review of
Reference No. 3, Lots 241 through 248 are foundation Category II.

The materials encountered on the project site and utilized for our analysis are believed
representative of the area; however, soil and bedrock materials vary in character between
excavations and natural outcrops or conditions exposed during mass grading. Site
conditions may vary due to seasonal changes or other factors. Inasmuch as our study is
based upon our review and engineering analyses and laboratory data, the conclusions and
recommendations are professional opinions. These opinions have been derived in
accordance with current standards of practice, and no warranty, either express or implied,
is given. Standards of practice are subject to change with time. GSI assumes no
responsibility or liability for work or testing performed by others, or their inaction; or work
performed when GSI is not requested to be onsite, to evaluate if our recommendations
have been properly implemented. Use of this report constitutes an agreement and
consent by the user to all the limitations outlined above, notwithstanding any other
agreements that may. be in place. In addition, this report may be subject to review by the
controlling authorities. Thus, this report brings to completion our scope of services for this

No. 2, for medium expansive soil conditions. Prior to filling, the exposed bottoms were
ripped approximately 12 inches, moisture conditioned to at least 2 to .3 percent above the
soils optimum moisture content, and reprocessed t0 achieve a minimum relative
compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM 1557). Once the bottoms were processed, the pads
were then restored to planned pad grade with compacted fill, moisture conditioned to at
least 2 to 3 percent above the soils optimum moisture content, and a minimum relative
compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM D-1 557). Thus, the upper two (2) feet of the subject
pads were reprocessed during this recent grading effort.
Field density tests were performed using nuclear (densometer) ASTM test
method D 6938-10 (Procedure A). The test results taken during grading operations are
presented in the attached copies of our "Field Testing Reports."
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisturecontentfor the major soil type
within this reprocessing phase were determined according to test method ASTM D 1557.
The following table presents the results:
SOIL TYPE

Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appear to meet the minimum compaction
requirements previously established and adopted by the City of. Carlsbad (i.e., at least
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557), and recent tests indicate over optimum
soil moisture per GSI reports (see Reference No. 1 and 2). Should a significant period of
time elapse prior to slab construction where the slab subgrade has the potential to dry out,
additional moisture conditioning and/or .re-establishing consistency, as well as pad
subgrade proof testing will be necessary prior to placement of the undersiab vapor retarder
(see Reference No. 1 and No. 2).
Foundation Design/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 1, and Reference No. 3, are generally considered valid and
applicable with respect to the construction and development of the subject building pads.
If building code updates pass, or are adopted prior to the development of these pads, an
additional geotechnical update report may be necessary. Based on our review of
ROference No. 3, Lots 233 through 237, and 253 through 255 are foundation Category II.

Dear Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within Lots 51, 52, 53, and 54 of Planning Area 16, at Robertson
Ranch, East Village Subdivision in the City of Carlsbad, California. The purpose of
remedial grading was to reprocess the subject lots in accordance with recommendations
presented in Reference No. 2. Earthwork consisted of re-processing surficial soils to a
depth of approximately 8 to 10 inches, moisture conditioning, and compaction of soil to a
minimum relative compaction of 90 percent per ASTM D 1557 (see Reference No. 2).
Based on our observations and testing, the building pads appear to have been prepared
in general accordance with the recommendations provided by this office (see Reference
No. 2 and No. 3), and are considered suitable for continued development from, a
geotechnical standpoint.
Field Observation and Testing
Field density tests were performed using nuclear (densometer) ASTM test methods D2922
and D 3017. The test results taken during grading operations are presented in the
attached copy of our "Field Testing Reports."
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the major soil type
within this construction phase were determined in general accordance with test method
ASTM D 1557. The following table presents the results:
SOIL TYPE
MAXIMUM
DENSITY (PCF)
MOISTURE CONTENT
(PERCENT)
I P - Yellowish Brown, Clayey Sand I 124.5 I 10.5
Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appear to meet the minimum compaction
requirements previously established and adopted by the City of Carlsbad (i.e., at least
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557), and recent tests indicate over optimum
soil moisture content, per GSI's reports (References 1 and 2). Should a significant
(i.e., 3 to 7 days) period of time pass prior to slab construction, additional moisture
conditioning and/or re-establishing consistency, as well as pad subgrade proof testing may
be necessary, prior to placement of the underslab vapor retarder (see Reference No.2 and
No. 3).
Foundation Design/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 3, are generally considered valid and applicable with respect
to the construction and development of the subject building pads. Based on our review of
Reference No. 3, the subject lots are very low expansive, and categorized as foundation
Category la or 1 b. If building code updates are adopted prior to the development of these
pads, an additional geotechnical update report may be necessary.
Plan Review
Final project plans (foundation, retaining wall, landscape, etc.) should be reviewed by this
office prior to construction, so that construction is in accordance with the conclusions and
recommendations of this report. Based on our review, supplemental recommendations
and/or further geotechnical evaluations may be warranted.
Closure
The materials encountered on the project site and utilized for our analysis are believed
representative of the area; however, soil and bedrock materials vary in character between
excavations and natural outcrops or conditions exposed during mass grading. Site
conditions may vary due to seasonal changes or other factors. Inasmuch as our study is

12 inches was removed, with.the exposed bottom scarified to a depth of approximately
12 inches, moisture conditioned to at least 4-5% above the soils optimum moisture content
and reprocessed to achieve a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent. The pad w
a
s
then restored to planned pad grade with compacted liii moisture conditioned to at least 4

Through 63,89 Through 99,117 Through 140, and 160 Through 189), Carlsbad Tract 04-26,
Drawing 453-8A, Carlsbad, San Diego County, California," W.O. 5353-131-SC, dated

Dear Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within Lots 89, 90, and 91 of Planning Area 16, at Robertson
Ranch, East Village Subdivision in the City of Carlsbad, California. The purpose of
remedial grading was to reprocess the subject lots in accordance with recommendations
presented in Reference No. 2. Earthwork consisted of re-processing surficial soils to a
depth of approximately 24 inches, moisture conditioning, and compaction of soil to a
minimum relative compaction of 90 percent per ASTM D 1557 (see Reference No. 2).
Based on our observations and testing, the building pads appear to have been prepared
in general accordance with the recommendations provided by this office (see Reference
No. 2 and No. 3), and are considered suitable for their intended use.
Field Observation and Testing
Field density tests were performed using nuclear (densometer) ASTM test methods D 2922
and D 3017. The test results taken during grading operations are presented in the
attached copy of our "Field Testing Reports."
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the major soil type
within this construction phase were determined in general accordance with test method
ASTM D 1557. The following table presents the results:
- " Is1UEoNtENT -,Sl SOIL TYPE _LnI DENSI(PF- (ERCENTi;t
IC - Gray Brown, Clayey SAND I 120.5 I 13.0
Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appear to meet the minimum compaction
requirements previously established and adopted by the City of Carlsbad (i.e., at least
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557), and recent tests indicate over optimum
soil moisture content, per GSl's reports (References .1 and 2). Should a significant
(i.e., 3 to 7 days) period of time pass prior to slab construction, additional moisture
conditioning and/or re-establishing consistency, as well as pad subgrade proof testing may
be necessary, prior to placement of the underslab vapor retarder (see Reference No.2 and
No. 3).
Foundation Design/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 3, are generally considered valid and applicable with respect
to the construction and development of the subject building pads. Based on our review of
Reference No. 3, the subject lots are highly expansive, and, categorized as foundation
Category Ill. If building code updates are adopted prior to the development of these pads,
an additional geotechnical update report may b.e necessary.
CLOSURE
The materials encountered on the project site and utilized for our analysis are believed
representative of the area; however, soil and bedrock materials vary in character between
excavations and natural outcrops or conditions exposed during mass grading. Site
conditions may vary due to seasonal changes or other factors. Inasmuch as our study is
based upon our review and engineering analyses and laboratory data, the conclusions and
recommendations are professional opinions. These opinions have been derived in
accordance with current standards of practice, and no warranty, either express or implied,

Dear Ms. Molina:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSl) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within Phase 1 (Lots 265, 266, 302, 303, and 304), Planning
Area 18 (Sycamore at the Foothills), at the Robertson Ranch Subdivision in the City of
Carlsbad, California. The purpose of remedial grading was to reprocess lots that have
remained fallow since the completion of mass grading (see Reference Nos. 2 and 3).
Earthwork generally consisted of re-processing surficial soils, moisture conditioning, and
placement/compaction of soil to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent per
ASTM D 1557, as recommended in Reference No. 2). Based on our observations and
testing, the building pads appear to have been prepared in general accordance with the
recommendations provided by this office (see Reference No. 2), and are considered
suitable for their intended use. Should these pads remain undeveloped for a significant
period of time after this phase of grading, additional future mitigative earthwork will likely
be recommended, as presented in Reference No. 2.
Field Observation and Testing
Earthwork was observed to consist of surficial reprocessing of pad grade soils for Lots 302,
303, and 304 in accordance with recommendations presented in Reference No. 2 for low
expansive soil conditions. For Lots 265 and 266, the upper 12 inches of soil was removed
and recompacted in accordance with recommendations presented in Reference No. 2, for
medium expansive soil conditions.
Field density tests were performed using nuclear (densometer) ASTM test methods D 2922
and D 3017. The test results taken during grading operations are presented in the
attached copies of our "Field Testing Reports."
The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the major soil type
within this reprocessing phase were determined according to test method ASTM D 1557.
The following table presents the results:

Brown, Silty CLAY

nish Gray, Gravelly SAND w/silt 131.5 9.0
Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appear to meet the minimum compaction
requirements previously established and adopted by the City of Carlsbad (i.e., at least
90 percent relative compaction per ASTM D 1557), and recent tests indicate over optimum
soil moisture per GSI reports (References 1 and 2). Should a significant period of time
elapse prior to slab construction where the slab subgrade has the potential to dry out,
additional moisture conditioning and/or re-establishing consistency, as well as pad
subgrade proof testing will be necessary priorto placement of the underslab vapor retarder
(see Reference No. 1 and No. 2).
Foundation Design/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 1, and Reference No. 3, are generally considered valid and
applicable with respect to the construction and development of the subject building pads.
If building code updates pass, or are adopted prior to the development of these pads, an
additional geotechnical update report may be necessary.
