Dear Mr. Rodgers and Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSl) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within Phase 12, Lots 84 through 88 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 84 through 88 (Phase 12), earthwork minimally consisted of processing the upper 12
inches of existing fill soil across, compacting and moisture conditioning to at least 90
percent 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 OSI 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:
SOIL TYPE
MAXIMUM
DENSITY (PCF)
MOISTURE CONTENT
(PERCENT)
B - Dark Brown, Clayey SAND [ 114.0 13.0
C - Gray Brown, Clayey SAND 120.5 13.5
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 also indicate over
optimum soil moisture content, in general accordance with GSI's reports (Reference Nos.
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 subarade 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. 87 and 88 are categorized as foundation Category IPT, based
on low expansive soil conditions (Reference No. 3). Lots 84, 85, and 86 are categorized
as foundation Category lIPT, based on the as-built fill thickness across each lot (Reference
No. 3). 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 maybe 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
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.

Dear Mr. Rodgers and Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within Phase 11, Lots 32, 33, 34, 73, 74, 75 and 76 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 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 the vicinity, 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."

Dear Mr. Rodgers and Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within Phase 6 Lots 13 through 19 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 highly expansive
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 4 percent to 5 percent above the soils optimum moisture content per ASTM D 1557 (see
Reference No. 1) per GSl 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 this laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the major soil
type within construction phase were determined in general accordance with test method
ASTM D 1557. The following table presents the results:
TYPE TSOIL DENSITY (PCF)
MAXIMUM MOISTURE CONTENT
(PERCENT)
1 13 - Dark Brown, clayey SAND F 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 indicate over optimum
soil moisture content, per GSI's reports (Reference Nos. 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 subg rade proof testing may
be necessary, prior to placement of the undersiab 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, the subject lots are categorized as foundation Category IlIPT, based
on highly expansive soil conditions. 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 bythe 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

Dear Ms. Molina and Mr. Jaeger:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSl) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within a portion of Phase 11 (Lots 223, 224, and 225), 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
minimum 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
Lots 223, 224, and 225 are low expansive (see Reference No. 3). However, the grading
contractor elected to reprocess these lots in accordance with recommendations for
medium expansive soil conditions. As such, the upper 12 inches of soil was also removed
and recompacted in accordance with recommendations presented in Reference No. 2, for
medium expansive soil conditions. Prior to filling, the exposed bottom was ripped
approximately 12 inches, moisture conditioned to at least optimum moisture content, and
reprocessed to achieve a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM D 1557).
Once the bottom was processed, the pads were then restored to planned pad grade with
compacted fill, moisture conditioned to at least 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 223, 224, and 225 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:
SOIL TYPE
MAXIMUM
DENSITY (PCF)
MOISTURE CONTENT
(PERCENT)
I - Yellow Gray Silty Sand I 127.0 I 11.0
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 at least optimum, or over optimum soil moisture, per the GSI
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 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.

Dear Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSl) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during additional grading within a portion of Planning Area 18 (Lots 195 through 206), at
the Robertson Ranch Subdivision in the City of Carlsbad, California. The purpose of
grading was to configure this previously sheet graded area to design grades per plan.
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 4, including processing of rear
yard slope areas above some of the subject lots, as discussed in Reference No. 1. Based
on our observations and testing, the building pads and slope appear to have been
prepared in general accordance with the recommendations provided by this office (see
Reference Nos. 1, 2, and 4), and are considered suitable for their continued development.
Should these pads remain undevelopedfor a significant period of time after this phase of
grading, additional future mitigative earthwork will likely be recommended, as presented
in Reference No. 4.
Field Observation and Testin
For pre-existing very low to low expansive fill Lots 195, 197, 201, 202, 205, and 206, the
upper 8-12 inches from pad grade was scarified, moisture conditioned to at least optimum
moisture content and reprocessed to achieve a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent
per ASTM D-1 557.
For medium expansive fill Lot 200, the upper 12 inches of soil was removed and
recompacted in accordance with recommendations presented in Reference No. 4, for
medium expansive soil conditions. Prior to filling, the exposed bottom was 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 bottom was processed, the pad was 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 pad on Lot 200 was
reprocessed during this recent grading effort.
For pre-existing cut lots 196, 198, 199, 203, and 204, these lots were undercut at least 3
feet below pad grade, with the undercut sloped to drain (not less than ½ percent) toward
the street area. Once undercuts were completed, the exposed bottoms were scarified,
moisture conditioned, and compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction per ASTM
D-1557, then brought to grade with compacted fill prepared/placed in similar fashion. Soil
moisture contents were at least optimum moisture content, with the exception of Lot 199,
which was moisture conditioned to at least 2-3 percent above the soils optimum moisture
content within 24 inches of pad grade, per Reference No. 4.
Field density 'fests were performed using the 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 phase of grading was 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 at soil moistures per GSI reports
(see Reference No. 2 and 4). 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. 4).
Foundation Desian/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 3, and Reference No. 5, 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. 5, and subsequent expansion testing of selected lots per ASTM D-4829
during grading, Lots 195 through 199, and Lots 201 through 206 are very low to low
expansive, with a recommended foundation type of I PT. Lots 199 and 200 are medium
expansive, as determined per ASTM D-4829, and are Category II PT.
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 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
portion of the project.

Dear Ms. Molina and Mr. Jaeger:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSl) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within a portion of Phase 10 (Lots 220, 221, and 222), 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
minimum 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 Lot 220, 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 bottom was 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 bottom was processed, the pad was 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 pad on Lot 220 was reprocessed during this recent grading
effort.
Lots 221 and 222 are low expansive (see Reference No. 3). However, the grading
contractor elected to reprocess these lots in accordance with recommendations for
medium expansive soil conditions. As such, the upper 12 inches of soil was also removed
and recompacted in accordance with recommendations presented in Reference No. 2, for
medium expansive soil conditions. Prior to filling, the exposed bottom was ripped
approximately 12 inches, moisture conditioned to at least optimum moisture content, and
reprocessed to achieve a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM D 1557).
Once the bottom was processed, the pads were then restored to planned pad grade with
compacted fill, moisture conditioned to at least 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 221 and 222 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:
Field compaction testing indicates that the soils appearto 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 at least optimum, or over optimum soil moisture, per the GSI
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 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. Based on our review of
Reference No. 3, Lot 220 is Category II, and Lots 221 and 222 are Category I.

Dear Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during additional grading within a portion of Planning Area 18 (Lots 195 through 206), at
the Robertson Ranch Subdivision in the City of Carlsbad, California. The purpose of
grading was to configure this previously sheet graded area to design grades per plan.
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 4, including processing of rear
yard slope areas above some of the subject lots, as discussed in Reference No. 1. Based
on our observations and testing, ,the building pads and slope appear to have been
prepared in general accordance with the recommendations provided by this office (see
Reference Nos. 1, 2, and 4), 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. 4.
Field Observation and Testing
For pre-existing very low to low expansive fill Lots 195, 197, 201, 202, 205, and 206, the
upper 8-12 inches from pad grade was scarified, moisture conditioned to at least optimum
moisture content and reprocessed to achieve a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent
per ASTM D-1 557.
For medium expansive fill Lot 200, the upper 12 inches of soil was removed and
recompacted in accordance with recommendations presented in Reference No. 4, for
medium expansive soil conditions. Prior to filling, the exposed bottom was 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 bottom was processed, the pad was 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 pad on Lot 200 was
reprocessed during this recent grading effort.
For pre-existing cut lots 196, 198, 199, 203, and 204, these lots were undercut at least 3
feet below pad grade, with the undercut sloped to drain (not less than ½ percent) toward
the street area. Once undercuts were completed, the exposed bottoms were scarified,
moisture conditioned, and compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction per ASTM
D-1 557, then brought to grade with compacted fill prepared/placed in similar fashion. Soil
moisture contents were at least optimum moisture content, with the exception of Lot 199,
which was moisture conditioned to at least 2-3 percent above the soils optimum moisture
content within 24 inches of pad grade, per Reference No. 4.
Field density tests were performed using the 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 phase of grading was determined according to test method ASTM D 1557. The
following table presents the results:
MAXIMUM MOISTURE CONTENT
SOIL TYPE DENSITY (PCF) (PERCENT)
A -Brown Silty SAND 127.0 10.0
C - Gray Brown Clayey SAND 120.5 13.0
F - Gray Brown Gravelly SAND 134.0 8.0
E - Dark Brown Silty SAND 126.0 11.0
A - Brown Silty SAND 127.0 10.0
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 at soil moistures per GSI reports
(see Reference No. 2 and 4). 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 priorto placement of the underslab vapor retarder
(see Reference No. 4).
Foundation Design/Construction
Unless specifically superceded herein, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in Reference No. 3, and Reference No. 5, 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. 5, and subsequent expansion testing of selected lots per ASTM D-4829
during grading, Lots 195 through 199, and Lots 201 through 206 are very tow to low
expansive, with a recommended foundation type of I PT. Lots 199 and 200 are medium
expansive, as determined per ASTM D-4829, and are Category II PT.
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 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
portion of the project.

Dear Mr. Rodgers and Mr. McDonnell:
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing this summary of our observation and testing services
during mitigative grading within Phase 13, Lots 20 through 25 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, medium
expansive (Expansion Index [El] 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 Nos. 1 and 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
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:
SOIL TYPE
MAXIMUM
DENSFY(PCF)
' MOISTURE CONTENT
(PERCENT)
B - Dark Brown, Clayey SAND 114.0 13.0
C - Gray Brown, Clayey SAND 120.5 13.5
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 also indicate over
optimum soil moisture content, in general accordance with GSl's reports (Reference Nos.
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 undersiab
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. 20 through 25 are categorized as foundation Category IIPT,
based on medium expansive soil conditions (Reference No. 3). 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 subd rain 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
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
portion of the project.
The opportunity to be of service is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions
concerning this report, or if we may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to
contact any of the undersigned.
