Subject: Geotechnical As-Graded Completion Report of Rough and Fine Grading, Building
Pads for Pad, "B" and Shop "C", Bressi Ranch Village Center, Carlsbad, California
Introduction
In accordance with your request, Leighton and Associates, Inc. (Leighton) has performed
geotechnical services during the rough and fine grading operations for the building pads for Pad
"B", and Shop "C" of the Bressi Ranch Village Center project, located in-Carlsbad, California This
report summarizes our geotechnical observation and testing services during the rough and fine
grading operations for the subject building pads. As of this date, the grading operations are
essentially complete on the building pads of the site.
Summary of Grading Operations
The rough and fine grading operations for the subject pads were performed between January and
March 2008. The grading operations were performed by F. J. Willert Contracting while Leighton
and Associates performed the geotechnical observation and testing services Our field technician
was on site full-time during the grading operations while our project geologist was on site on a
periodic basis. Grading of the site included: 1) the removal of potentially compressible and/or
desiccated fill soils and weathered formational material; 2) preparation of areas to receive fill; 3)
overexcavation of the building pads having cut/fill transition conditions; 4)
processing/undercutting of the finish grade soils on the cut pads; 5) excavation of formational
material; and 6) the placement of compacted fill soils.

. Site Preparation and Removals
Prior to grading, :the areas within the limits of the proposed grading were stripped of surface
vegetation and debris and these materials were disposed of away from the site. Removals of
unsuitable, desiccated, and/or potentially compressible soils (including previously placed fill
soils and weathered formational materials) were made to competent material. Removals were
performed in accordance with the recommendations of the project geotechnical report
(Leighton, 2007) and geotecbniçal recommendations made during the course of grading. The
removal areas were scarified a minimum of 6 to 12 inches, moisture-conditioned as needed to
obtain an above-optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum 90 percent relative
compaction, as determined by ASTM Test Method D1557.
Overexcavation of Cut Lots
During the rough and fine grading operations, the overexcavation or undercutting of the
building pads comprised entirely of cut material was performed in order to pre-moisture
condition the building pad finish grade soils Table 1 presents a summary of the
overexcavation/ündercut conditions on each Of the building pads.
Table 1
As-Graded Condition of the Building Pads
Building Pad As-Graded Condition
Pad "B" Cut Pad Undercut 18 inches
Shop "C" Cut Pad Undercut 18 inches
. Fill Placement and Compa:ion
After the upper 18 inches of the building pad finish grade soils were processed, the soil was
moisture conditioned as needed to attain an above-optimum moisture cOntent and compacted
with heavy-duty construction equipment. Field density test results performed during the
grading operations indicated that the fill soils were compacted to at least 90 percent of the
maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM Test Method D1557. Compaction of the fill
soils was achieved by use of heavy-duty construction equipment (including rubber-tire
compactors and scrapers).
Areas of fill in which field density tests indicated compactions less than the recommended
relative compaction, where the soils exhibited nonuniformity, or had field moisture contents
4
Leighton
I 9710097050
I less than approximately 2 percent above the laboratory optimum moisture content, were
reworked. The reworked areas were then recompacted and re-tested until the recommended
minimum 90 percent relative compaction and near-optimum moisture content was achieved.
I
. Field and Laboratory Testing
Field density testing and observations were performed using the Nuclear-Gauge Method
I (ASTM Test Methods D2922 and D3017). A summary of the field density test results are
presented in Appendix B. The approximate test locations will be provided on the fmal
geotechnical map for the project upon completion of the rough, fine, and post grading
I operations. The field density testing was performed in general accordance with the applicable
ASTM Standards, the current standard of care in the industry, and the precision of the testing
method itself. Variations in relative compaction should be expected from the documented
results.
Laboratory maximum dry density tests of representative on-site soils were performed in general
I accordance with ASTM Test Method D1557. Expansion potential and soluble sulfate content
tests of representative finish grade soils were also performed in accordance with Uniform
Building Code (UBC) 18-2 and standard geochemical methods, respectively. Expansion
I potential and soluble sulfate content tests indicate the representative finish grade of the building
pads of Pad-"B" and Shop "C" have a low to medium expansion potential and a severe soluble
sulfate content. The laboratory test results are presented in Appendix C.

Engineering Geology Summary
The geologic or geotechnical conditions encountered during the rough and fine grading of the
subject building pads were essentially as anticipated. Ground water was not encountered or
I observed during the grading operations. A comprehensive summary of the geologic conditions
(including geologic units, geologic structure and faulting) will be summarized in the final as-
graded report for the project. Based on our geotechnical observations and geologic mapping during
I the rough and fine grading operations for the project, no faults or evidence of faulting was
encountered.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The rough and fine grading operations for the building pads of Pad "B" and Shop "C" of the Bressi
Ranch Village Center were performed in general accordance with the project geotechnical report
I
and documents (Appendix A), geotechnical recommendations made during the rough and fine
grading, and the City of Carlsbad requirements. Therefore, it is our professional opinion that the
subject building pads are suitable for their intended use provided the recommendations included
I
in the project geotechnical report and documents are incorporated into the design and
construction phases of site development. The conclusions and recommendations presented in the
I 14 I -3-
Leighton
971009-050
referenced project geotechnical documents are still considered pertinent and applicable to the
proposed development and should be followed during the post grading and construction phases
of the site development. The following is a summary of our conclusions:
. Geotechnical conditions encountered during the rough and fine grading were generally as
anticipated.
. Site preparation and removals were geotedhnically observed.
The building pads of Pad "B" and Shop "C" were undercut approximately 18 inches and
replaced with compacted fill.
Fill soils were derived from onsite soils. Field density testing indicated that the fill soils were
placed and compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction (based on ASTM Test
Method D1557) and above-optimum moisture content in accordance with the project
recommendations.
The expansion potential of representative finish grade soils of the building pads was tested
and found to have a low to medium expansion potential.
The potential for soluble sulfate attack of the finish grade soils on the building pads was
tested and found to possess a severe soluble sulfate content.
No evidence of active or inactive faulting was encountered during site rough and fine grading.
. Ground water was not encountered or observed during the grading operation.
. Due to the lack of ariear-surface ground water table and the dense nature of the onsite soils, it
is our professional opinion that the liquefaction hazard at the site is considered low.
Addendum Recommendations
Recommendations concerning the construction of .the project that have previously been issued
(Appendix A) are still considered applicable and should be followed during the post-grading and
constructions phases of site development. Addendum recommendations based on geotechnical
conditions that are different than assumed in the project geotechnical documents are provided
below.
Presaturation of the Building Pad Subgrade Soils
The slab subgrade soils underlying the foundation systems of the proposed structures should
be presoaked in accordance with the recommendations presented in Table 2 prior to
-4-

placement of the moisture barrier and slab concrete. The subgrade soil moisture content
should be checked by a representative of Leighton and Associates prior to slab construction.

I Limitations
The presence of our field representative at the site was intended to provide the owner with
professional advice, opinions, and recommendations based on observations of the contractor's
work. Although the observations did not reveal obvious deficiencies or deviations from project
specifications, we do not guarantee the contractor's work, nor do our services relieve the contractor
or his subcontractor's work, nor do our services relieve the contractor or his subcontractors of their
responsibility if defects are subsequently discovered in their work Our responsibilities did not
include any supervision or direction of the actual work procedures of the contractor, his personnel,
or subcontractors. The conclusions in this report are based on test results and observations of the
grading and earthwork procedures used and represent our engineering opinion as to the compliance
of the results with the project specifications:

Laboratory Testing Procedures and Test Results
Expansion Index Tests: The expansion potential of selected materials was evaluated by the
Expansion Index Test, UBC Standard No. 18-2 and/or ASTM Test Method 4829. Specimens are
molded under a given compactive energy to approximately the optimum moisture content and
approximately 50 percent saturation or approximately 90 percent relative compaction. The prepared
1-inch thick by 4-inch diameter specimens are loaded to an equivalent 144 psf surcharge and are
inundated with tap water until volumetric equilibrium is reached. The results of these tests are
presented in the table below:
Sample Location Expansion Index Expansion Potential*
Pad "B" 55 Medium
Shop "C" 21 Low
* Based on the 1997 edition of the Uniform Building Code (UBC), Table 18-I-B.
Maximum Density Tests: The maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of typical soils
were determined in accordance with ASTM Test Method D1557. The results of these tests are
presented in the table below:
