In accordance with the request of Mr. Zubin Patrawala of Fuscoe Engineering/ R-Value testing
has been completed on a representative soil sample obtained from the site. the purpose of this
testing was to determine the pavement sections for the "heavy duty" areas of the site. Based on
several Communications with Fuscoe Engineering, it is our understanding that the design Traffic
Index (ll) for a "heavy dutyll section at the site is 5.0. Results of the'J~t,ent laboratory testing
are as follows: ,--",

section comprised of asphaltic concrete and aggregate base, as well as a full depth Portland
cement concrete section. Based on conversations with Fuscoe Engineering, there are no
minimum asphaltic concrete thickness requirements for this site. These design sections are
provided for new "heavy dutyll pavement areas.

The aggregate base course should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the ASTM 0-1557
maximum dry density. The asphaltic concrete should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the
Marshall maximum density, as determined by ASTM D-2726. The aggregate base course may consist
of crushed aggregate base (CAB) or crushed miscellaneous base (CMB), which is a r:ecycled gravel,
asphalt and concrete material. The gradation, R-Value, Sand Equivalent, and Percentage Wear of the
CAB or CMB should comply with appropriate specifications contained in the current edition of the
"Green book" Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction.

The concrete should have a 28-day compressive strength of at least 3,000 pSi. Reinforcing within all
pavements should consist of at least heavy welded wire mesh (6x6-W2.9xW2.9 WWF) placed at mid-
height in the slab. In areas underlain by expansive soils, the reinfbrcemeht should be increased to
No. 4 bars at 18 inches on center. The maximum joint spacing within all of the PCC pavements is
recommended to be equal to or less than 30 times the pavement thickness.

Gentlemen:
As requested by Mr. Zubin Patrawala of Fuscoe Engineering, this report has been prepared to
address the plan review comment made by the city of Carlsbad and to serve as a review of the
grading plans for the proposed development. These plans were prepared by Fuscoe
Engineering, and consist of two sheets dated January 11, 2008. These plans were reViewed for
conformance with the assumptions, conclusions and recommendations of the above referenced
geotechnical report.
Grading Plan Review
Comments generated during our review of these plans as well as any items requiring correction
are presented below:
• Based on a review of the precise grading plan, and conversations with Fuscoe
Engineering, the proposed bioswales located east of the building will be constructed with
an impermeable layer consisting of 10 mil visqueen, or eqUivalent, completely separating
the bioswales from the surrounding soil. Therefore, no water is expected to infiltrate
into the adjacent slope.
Our review of the grading plans submitted to our office indicates that they have been prepared
in general accordance with the recommendations of the above referenced geotechnical report.
It should be noted that our review was limited to the geotechnical aspects of the project and no
representations as to the suitability of the civil design are intended.

Other pertinent factors
We have reviewed a recently prepared bioswale detail prepared by Fuscoe
Engineering (FE) indicating that all earthen bioswales on the project will be
underlain by 3 inches of planting soil, fabric or 8 inches of hemic peat, 16 inches
of sand, and a 6-inch-diameter perforated PVC pipe (surrounded and bedded by
8 inches of washed bank-run gravel and wrapped in filter fabric). Based on
conversations with Mr. Zubin Patrawala of FE, it is our understanding that the
bioswales are designed to essentially convey all surface water into nearby storm
drains. We also understand that the swale/drain system will be completely
enclosed by impervious fabric. Based on the fact that the bioswales are designed
to convey all surface water into nearby storm drains and on the fact that a
secondary system comprised of the 6 inch diameter drain/impervious fabric
system is in place to convey seepage water into ne?lrby storm drains, it is our
opinion that the bioswales will have a minimal effect on the stability of the
adjacent slopes. We recommend that the bioswales and underlying drain system
be regularly maintained. Please note that in general the introduction of water
into slopes may reduce the strength of the soils and may increase driving forces.
We Sincerely appreciate the opportunity to be of service on this project. If there are any.
questions concerning this matter, please contact our office at your convenience.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Presented below is a brief summary of the conclusions and recommendations of this
investigation. Since this summary is not all inclusive, it should be read in complete
context with the entire report.
Site Preparation
• No significant topsoil or vegetation was present at the site at the time of the
subsurface exploration. Any vegetation that develops prior to site grading should be
stripped and removed from the site.
• The site is underlain by recently placed compacted fill soils and sandstone and
claystone bedrock. The fill soils extend to depths of up to 12± feet outside the
footprint of the proposed building.
• In order to provide for a new layer of structural fill that will help mitigate the variable
support conditions due to the potential geologic transitions, it is recommended that
remedial grading be performed within the proposed building pad area.
• The building pad area underlain by shallow bedrock should be overexcavated to a
depth of at least 3 feet below existing grade and to a depth of at least 3 feet below
proposed pad grade. The depth of overexcavation should be sufficient to provide at
least 3 feet of new structural fill beneath the bearing grade of all foundations.
• Following completion of the recommended overexcavation, exposed soils should be
evaluated by the geotechnical engineer. After the subgrade soils have been
approved by the geotechnical engineer, the resulting soils may be replaced as
compacted structural fill.
• A precise grading plan review is recommended subsequent to preparation of the
plan in order to confirm the recommendations contained herein.
Building Foundations
• Shallow foundations, supported in newly placed compacted fill.
• 2,500 psf maximum allowable soil bearing pressure.
• Minimum longitudinal steel reinforcement within strip footings: Four (4) No.5 rebars
(2 top and 2 bottom), due to the medium expansive potential of the near surface
soils.
Building Floor Slab
• Slab-on-Grade, at least 5 inches thick.
• Minimum slab reinforcement: NO.3 bars at 18-inches on-center, in both directions.

3.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Site Description
The subject site is located within the recently mass graded Bressi Ranch Industrial Park
which is located south of Palomar Airport Road in the city of Carlsbad, California. The.
specific site is a portion of Planning Area 1 or Lot 1 and consists of 2± acres located
southeast of the intersection of Garden Road and EI Camino Real. The general location
of the site is illustrated on the Site Location Map, included as Plate 1 in App'endix A of
this report. .
The subject site is an irregularly-shaped parcel, approximately 2± acres in site. Graded
ascending slopes ranging in height from 6 to 9± feet border the site to the northeast and
west. A graded descending slope ranging in height from 4 to 6± feet borders the site to '
the south. One desilting basin was located in the eastern portion of the site. The
desilting basin was approximately 4 to 6± feet deep. At the time of the subsurface
exploration, ground surface cover consisted of exposed soil with negligible to sparse
grass and weed growth.
Detailed topographic information was not available at the' time of this report. Visually,
with the exception of the aforementioned slopes, the remainder of the site consists of
gently sloping terrain dipping downward to the southwest. With the exception of the
aforementioned slopes and the desilting basin, there was estimated to be "ess than 2 to
3± feet of elevation differential across the site.
3.2 Proposed Development
Preliminary information regarding the proposed development was obtained from the site
plan prep'ared by Smith Consulting Architects. This plan has been provided to our
office by the client and indicates that the new development will consist of one (1)
building with a footprint of 18,000± ft2.
Detailed structural information is not currently available. It is, however, qssumed that
the building will be of concrete tilt-up construction, typically supported on a conventional
shallow foundation system and concrete slab on grade. Based on the ,assumed
construction, maximum column and wall loads are expected to be on the ,order of 60
kips and 3 kips per linear foot, respectively.

3.3 Previous Studies
As part of our investigation of the overall site, including Planning Areas PA-1 through
PA-5, we were provided with several geotechnical reports. The geotechnical reports
provided to us consist of preliminary and supplemental geotechnical investigations, a
summary report of mass grading, and as graded reports of mass grading. The subject
site has been recently rough graded to its current configuration under the purview of
Leighton and Associates, Inc. The reports which are applicable to the entire site,
including all of the Planning Areas, are summarized below:
• Geotechnical Investigation, Bressi Ranch Corporate Center. Planning Areas 1
through 5, SEC of Palomar Airport Road and EI Camino Real, Carlsbad,
California; prepared for Sares Regis Group by Southern California Geotechnical,
Inc., dated May 3,2004, Project No. 03G259-2.
This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation of Planning Areas 1
through 5 subsequent to the mass grading. Subsurface exploration performed as part of
this geotechnical investigation included twenty (20) borings advanced to depths of 5 to
19Y2± feet below currently existing site grades. The maximum depth of the borings was
limited to less than 20 feet due to permit restrictions imposed by the San Diego County
Department of Environmental Health (DEH).
Based on the subsurface conditions, the site is underlain by recently placed compacted
fill soils and sandstone and claystone bedrock. The fill soils extend to ·depths of up to
90± feet and were placed under the purview of a geotechnical engineer. The existing fill
soils and bedrock possesses relatively high strengths, and highly variable expansive
potentials.
Based on the variable expansive potentials and differing strengths of the engineered fill
and bedrock, and in order to provide for a new layer of structural fill that will help
mitigate the potential cut/fill transitions, it was recommended that remedial grading be
performed within the proposed building pad areas.
The building pad areas were recommended to be overexcavated to a depth of at least 5
feet below existing grade and to a depth of at least 4 feet below proposed pad grade.
The depth of overexcavation should be sufficient to provide at least 3 feet of new
structural fill beneath the bearing grade of all foundations.
• Supplemental Geotechnical Investigation for Mass Grading, Bressi Ranch,
Carlsbad, California, prepared for Lennar Homes by Leighton and Associates,
Inc., dated March 14, 2001, Project No. 971009-005.
This report presents the results of a supplemental geotechnical investigation to update
their earlier preliminary geotechnical report prepared in 1997. Subsurface exploration
performed as part of the supplemental geotechnical investigation included eight (8)

large diameter borings and fifty-six (56) exploratory trenches. Logs of these
supplemental borings and trenches as well as previous work by Leighton and others is
-included in the report and summarized on the Geotechnical Map included therein.
Based on the presented information, the subject site is primarily underlain. by sandstone
bedrock. The bedrock is indicated to consist of the Tertiary age Santiago ,formation,
which is oescribed as massively bedded sandstone with some zones of claystone and
siltstone. Some minor areas of shallow undocumented fill, terrace deposits~ and
alluvial/colluvial soils were also mapped within the boundaries of the' subject site.
Although the majority of the mapped, larger ancient landslides are located outside the
boundaries of the subject site, two (2) small ancient landslides were mapped on the'
subject site, east of PA-1 and PA-2. Due to their small scale, they were recommended
to be removed ,in their entirety and replaced as, compacted fill. Remedic~tI grading
recommendations contained in this report indicate that all undocumented fill and
alluvial/colluvial soils should be completely remO\~ed to competent material.
• Supplemental Geotechnical Landslide Investigation. Planning Areas PA-1, PA-2,
and PA-10 through PA-12. Bressi Ranch. Carlsbad, California, prepared for
Lennar Communities by Leighton and Associates, Inc., dated February 12, 2003,
Project No. 971009-007.
This report presents the results of a supplemental geotechnical landslide investigation
for specific portions of the site. Subsurface exploration performed as part of the
supplemental geotechnical landslide investigation included nine (9) large diameter
borings and five (5) exploratory trenches in the areas of the previously mapped ancient
landslides. Logs of these additional borings and trenches as well as revised cross
sections are included in the report.
The area of the subject site addressed by this report includes the east~rn, portion of
planning areas PA-1 and PA-2 where several nested ancient landslides were mapped.
Cross Sections E-E' and p.p' depict the mapped geologic, conditions and the
recommended remedial grading, which consisted of complete removal of the landslides
and replacement as engineered fill. This report restates the previo'us remedial grading
recommendations and provides slope stability calculations to justify the proposed
grading configurations.
• Geotechnical Recommendations Concerning ,95 Percent Relative Compaction of
Fill Deeper than 40 Feet, Bressi Ranch, Carlsbad, California, prepared' for
Lennar Communities by Leighton and Associates, Inc., dated February 19, 2003,
Project No. 971009-007.
This report addresses the settlement potential of deep fill areas and provides
recommendations to reduce the time period for the majority of the settlement to occur.
In several areas of the overall project, fills up to 40 to 50± feet in thickness· were
planned to achieve the design grades. Deep fill areas on the subject site a~e located .in

the eastern portion of PA-2, and two small areas within PA-3 and PA-5. The report
recommends that all structural fills below a depth of 40 feet from finish grade be
compacted to at least 95 percent of the ASTM D-1557 maximum dry density, and
estimates that the time period for the majority of the settlement to occur will be reduced
from 6 to 12 months to 3 to 8+ months. Near surface settlement monuments were
recommended to be installed immediately after rough grading, with survey intervals of
once a week for the first month, then twice a month for 3 months, and then monthly to
determine completion primary settlement of deep fills. The recommended locations of
the near surface settlement monuments are indicated to be contained on an index map
within this report, however, the copy provided to us does not contain this plan.
• Summary of the As-Graded Geotechnical Conditions and Partial Completion of
Rough and Fine Grading, Planning Areas PA-1 Through PA-5, Bressi Ranch,
Carlsbad. California, prepared for Lennar Communities by Leighton and
Associates, Inc., dated January 20,2004, Project No. 971009-014.
This summary report indicates that grading of Planning Areas PA-1 through PA-3 is
essentially complete, and that grading is ongoing in Planning Areas PA-4 and PA-5.
Grading operations were reportedly performed in general accordance with the
recommendations presented in Leighton's previous geotechnical reports. Geotechnical
issues presented in this summary report which were not discussed in the previous
reports include the presence of inactive faults within PA-4 and PA-5, perched
groundwater within the overexcavated tributary canyons on the east side of PA-1 and
PA-2, oversize materials within the engineered fills, high to very high expansive soils at
or near finish grade, and some severe sulfate concentrations which would require the
use of specialized concrete mix designs.
• As Graded Report of Mass Grading, Planning Areas PA-1! PA-2. and PA-3,
Metropolitan Street. and a Portion of Town Garden Road. Gateway Road, and
Alicante Road, Carlsbad Tract No. 00-06, Bressi Ranch, Carlsbad, California,
prepared for Lennar Communities by Leighton and Associates, Inc., dated April
15,2004, Project No. 971009-014
This report documents the mass grading of Planning Areas PA-1, PA-2, and PA-3 as
well as a portion of the interior streets. Most of the information contained in this report
was presented in the January 20, 2004 summary report. The conclusions and
recommendations are also similar to the previous report. With respect to the deep fills
on this portion of the site, Leighton concluded that most of the anticipated settlement is
complete, but the seven settlement monuments should be continued to be monitored.
Soluble sulfate test results range from negligible to severe, and expansion index test
results range from low (EI = 46) to very high (EI = 163). Preliminary pavement sections
are presented and are based on assumed R-value of 12. Maximum cuts and fills within
Planning Areas PA-1, PA-2, and PA-3 are documented as 25 and 90 feet, respectively.
Fill soils below a depth of 40 feet were compacted to at least 95% of ASTM 1557
maximum dry density.

• Addendum to As-Graded Reports of Mass Grading Concerning the Completion
of Settlement Monitoring. Planning Areas PA-1 through PA-5, Bressi Ranch.
Carlsbad. California, prepared for Lennar Communities by Leighton and.
Associates, Inc., dated October 11,2004, Project No. 97100~-014
This report presents the data' collected from the settlement monitoring program for the
deep fill (greater than 40 feet) areas of the entire site. The settlement monitoring data
was collected over a period of 5 to 6 months. Based on the collected data, Leighton.
concludes that the primary settlement of the fill soils 'is essentially complete, and that
construction of improvements within Planning Areas PA-1 through PA-5 may begin.
Secondary consolidation settlement of deep fills' is estimated to be less than 1 to 3
inches depending on the depth of fill. Differential settlements are estimated to be on the
order of % inch in 25 feet.

4.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
4.1 Scope of Exploration/Sampling Methods
The subsurface exploration conducted for this project consisted of six (6) borings
advanced to depths of 15 to 19%± feet below currently existing site grades. The
maximum depth of our borings was limited to less than 20 feet due to permit restrictions
imposed by the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health (OEH). All of
the borings were logged during excavation by a member of our staff.
Representative bulk and in-situ soil samples were taken during drilling. Relatively
undisturbed in-situ samples were taken with a split barrel "California Sampler"
containing a series of one inch long, 2.416± Inch diameter brass rings. This sampling
method is described in ASTM Test Method 0-3550. In-situ samples were also taken
using a 1.4± inch inside diameter split spoon sampler, in general accordance with
ASTM 0-1586. Both of these samplers are driven into the ground with successive
blows of a 140-pound weight falling 30 inches. The blow counts obtained during driving
are recorded for further analysis. Bulk samples were taken at periodic locations in the
trenches. The bulk samples were collected in plastic bags to retain their original
moisture content. The relatively undisturbed ring samples were placed in molded
plastic sleeves that were then sealed and transported to our laboratory.
The approximate location of the borings are indicated on the Boring Location Plan,
included as Plate 2 of this report. The Boring Logs, which illustrate the conditions
encountered at the boring locations, as well as some of the results of the laboratory
testing, are included in Appendix B.
4.2 Geotechnical Conditions
Presented below is a generalized summary of the subsurface conditions encountered at
the boring locations. More detailed descriptions of the conditions encountered are
illustrated on the Boring Logs, included in Appendix B.
Artificial Fill
Artificial fill soils were encountered at the ground surface at boring B-6. These fill soils
extend to a maximum depth of 12± feet below existing grade. As previously discussed,
the fill soils within PA-1 are documented to have maximum depths of 90± feet. The fill
soils encountered in the borings generally consist of medium dense to very dense fine
sands, clayey fine sands and hard fine sandy clays. The fill soils possess moderately

high strengths, moisture contents near or above optimum' and bas~d on their color
mottling and 'composition, appeared to be well mixed.
Bedrock
, ' '""
Bedrock was encountered at or near ground surface or beneath the fill soils at all of the
boring locations. The bedrock ,encountered at this site consists of Tertiary age Santiago
form~tion, which is comprised of dense to very dense sandstone wi~h so.m~ ,zone~ of
claystone and siltstone. Bedding within the Santiago formation on $ite is, generally
massive with no significant planes of weakness or discontinuities. The sandstone uhitis
typically light gray in color, contains moderate iron oxide staining, and is comprised of
weakly cemented silty fine sand. The siltstone unit is typically light gray to gray in color,
contains moderate iron oxide staining, and is comprised of fine :sandy silt. The
claystone unit is typically dark gray to gray green in color, contains -some shell:
fragments, gypsum veins, and is comprised of silts and clays.
Groundwater
Based on the water level measurements, and the moisture, contents, of the recovered
soil samples, the static groundwater table is consider~d to have existed at a depth' in
excess of 20± feet at the time of the subsurface explorati0n. Further, based on the
conditions documented in the mass grading report by Leighton, no groundwater was
encountered during grading. Therefore, groundwater' is expected to beat depths
greater than the extent of the fill soils, which are 90± feet thick within PA .. 1.
4.3 GeologiC Conditions
Geologic research indicates that the site is underlain by sandstone mapped as the
Santiago Formation (Map Symbol Tsa) with nearly horizontal, bedding attitudes. The
primary available reference applicable to the subject site is DMG Open-File Report 96.-
02, Geologic Map of the Northwestern Part of Sail Diego County, California, by
California Division of Mines and Geology, 1996.
. ,
Based on the materials encountered in the exploratory borings, it is ,our opinion the site
is underlain by sandstone, siltstone and claystone bedrock consisting of the Santi;:lgo
formation (Map Symbol Tsa). The bedrock encountered in the exploratory borings and
observed at ,the ground surface is generally massively bedded and the structure is
comprised of nearly horizontal bedding with some moderately developed joints in'the
upper, less weathered portions of the bedrock.

5.0 LABORATORY TESTING
The soil samples recovered from the subsurface exploration were returned to our
laboratory for further testing to determine selected physical and engineering properties
of the soils. The tests are briefly discussed below. It should be noted that the test
results are specific to the actual samples tested, and variations could be expected at
other locations and depths.
Classification
All recovered soil samples were classified using the Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS), in accordance with ASTM 0-2488. Field identifications were then
supplemented with additional visual classifications and/or by laboratory testing. The
USCS classifications are shown on the Boring Logs and are periodically referenced
throughout this report.
In-situ Oensity and Moisture Content
The density has been determined for selected relatively undisturbed ring samples.
These densities were determined in general accordance with the method presented in
ASTM 0-2937. The results are recorded as dry unit weight in pounds per cubic foot.
The moisture contents are determined in accordance with ASTM 0-2216, and are
expressed as a percentage of the dry weight. These test results are presented on the
Boring Logs.
Consolidation
Selected soil samples have been tested to determine their consolidation potential, in
accordance with ASTM 0-2435. The testing apparatus is designed to accept either
natural or remolded samples in a one-inch high ring, approximately 2.416 inches in
diameter. Each sample is then loaded incrementally in a geometric progression and
the resulting deflection is recorded at selected time intervals. Porous stones are in
contact with the top and bottom of the sample to permit the addition or release of pore
water. The samples are typically inundated with water at an intermediate load to
determine their potential for collapse or heave. The results of the consolidation testing
are plotted on Plates C-1 through C-4 in Appendix C of this report.
Expansion Index
The expansion potential of the on-site soils was determined in general accordance with
Uniform Building Code (UBC) Standard 18-2. The testing apparatus is designed to
accept a 4-inch diameter, 1-in high, remolded sample. The sample is initially remolded
to 50 ± 1 percent saturation and then loaded with a surcharge equivalent to 144 pounds
per square foot. The sample is then inundated with water, and allowed to swell against

6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of our review, field exploration, laboratory testing and geotechnical
analysis, the proposed development is considered feasible from a geotechnical
standpoint. The recommendations contained in this report should be taken into the
design, construction, and grading considerations. The recommendations are
contingent upon all grading and foundation construction activities being monitored by
the geotechnical engineer of record. The Grading Guide Specifications, included as
Appendix D, should be considered part of this report, and should be incorporated into
the project specifications. The contractor and/or owner of the development should
bring to the attention of the geotechnical engineer any conditions that differ from those
stated in this report, or which may be detrimental for the development. Following
completion of the recommended grading and foundation construction procedures, the
subject site is considered suitable for its intended use.
6.1 Seismic Design Considerations
The subject site is located in an area which is subject to strong ground motions due to
earthquakes. The completion of a site specific seismic hazards analysis is beyond the
scope of services for this geotechnical investigation. However, it should be noted that
numerous faults capable of producing Significant ground motions are located near the
subject site. Due to economic considerations, it is not generally considered reasonable
to design a structure that is not susceptible to earthquake damage. Therefore,
significant damage to structures may be unavoidable during large earthquakes. The
proposed structures should, however, be designed to resist structural collapse and
thereby provide reasonable protection from serious injury, catastrophic property
damage and loss of life.
Faulting and Seismicity
Research of available maps indicates that the subject site is not located within an
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Therefore, the possibility of significant fault
rupture on the site is considered to be low.
Seismic Design Parameters
The proposed development must be designed in accordance with the requirements of
the latest edition of the Uniform Building Code (UBC) or the California Building Code
(CBC), whichever is applicable. The UBC/CBC proviqes procedures for earthquake
resistant structural design that include considerations for on-site soil conditions, seismic
zoning, occupancy, and the configuration of the structure including the structural system
and height. The seismic design parameters presented below are based on the seismic
zone, soil profile, and the proximity of known faults with respect to the subject site.

The 1997 UBC/2001 CBC Design Parameters have been generated using UBCSEIS, a
computer program published by Thomas F. Blake (January 1998). The table below is a
compilation of the data provided by UBCSEIS, and represents. the largest design values
presented by each type of fault. A copy of the output generated from this program is
included in Appendix E of this report. A copy of the Design Response Spectrum, as
generated by UBCSEIS is also included in Appendix E. Based on this output, the·
following parameters may be utilized for the subject site:
• Nearest Type A Fault:

• Soil Profile Type:
• Seismic Zone Factor (Z):

The design procedures presented by the UBC and, eBC are intended' to pr0tect life
safety. Structures designed using these minimum design procedures may experience
significant cosmetic damage and serious economic loss. The use of more conservative
seismic design parameters would provide increased safety and a lower potential 'for
cosmetic damage and economic loss during a large seismic event. Ultimately, the
structural engineer and the project owner must determine what level of risk is
acceptable and assign appropriate seismic values to be used in the design of the
proposed structure.
Liquefaction
Liquefaction is the loss of strength in generally cohesionless, saturated sons when the
p.ore-water pressure induced in the soil by a seismic .event becomes equal to or
exceeds the overburden pressure. The primary factors which influence the potential for
liquefaction include groundwater table elevation, soil type and grain size characteristics,
relative density of the soil, initial confining pressure, and intensity and duration of
ground shaking. The depth within which the occurrence of liquefaction may. impact
surface improvements is generally identified as the upper 50 feet below the existing
ground surface. Liquefaction potential is greater in saturated, loose, poorly graded fine
sands with a mean (d50) grain size in the range of 0.075 to 0.2 mm (Seed andldriss,
1971). Clayey (cohesive) soils or soils which possess clay particles (d<0.005mm) in
excess of 20 percent (Seed and Idriss, 1982) are generally not considered to be
susceptible to liquefaction, nor are those' soils which are above the historic static
groundwater table.
The subsurface conditions encountered at the subject site are not conducive to
liquefaction. These conditions consist of structural fill soils underlain by high strength
Proposed Industrial Building -Carlsbad, CA
Project No. 05G301-1
Page 14
sandstone, siltstone and claystone bedrock, neither of which are susceptible to
earthquake-induced liquefaction. Based on the subsurface conditions, liquefaction is
not considered to be a significant design concern for this project.
6.2 Geotechnical Design Considerations
General
The subject site is underlain by fill soils and by sandstone and claystone bedrock. The
fill soils, extending to a maximum depth of 12± within the subject site generally consist
of moderate to high strength sands, clayey sands, and sandy clays. The proposed
grading to establish the new finished floor elevations is expected to result in the
formation of one geologic contact transition between sandstone and claystone within
the proposed building pad. The resultant subsurface profile is expected to provide
variable support characteristics for the foundations of the proposed structures. Based
on these considerations, it is recommended that remedial grading be performed within
the new building area in order to provide a subgrade suitable for support of the
foundations and floor slabs of the new structures.
The primary geotechnical design consideration that will impact the proposed
development is the fact that the proposed grading will create geologic transitions within
the proposed building area. This is discussed in detail in the following sections of this
report.
Grading and Foundation Plan Review
The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on the
preliminary plans provided to our office. No grading plans were available at the time of
this report. Once preliminary grading plans become available, it is recommended that
they be provided to our office for review with regard to the conclusions and
recommendations presented herein. In addition, a foundation plan was not available at
the time of this report. It is recommended that preliminary foundation plans be provided
to our office once they become available. Depending on the results of our review, some
modifications to the recommendations contained in this report may be warranted.
Settlement
Provided that the recommendations contained within this report are implemented in the
structural design and construction of the proposed buildings, the post-construction
settlements are expected to be within tolerable limits. Following completion of the
recommended grading, the post-construction static settlements are expected to be
within tolerable limits.

Geologic Transitions
The proposed building is closely underlain by dense bedrock. Based on our
observations, we have included geologic contact lines on our Plate 2 Boring Location
Plan separating areas of near"surface sandstone and claystone. It appears that
sandstone/claystone transitions exist within the proposed building area. This geologic
contact transition condition at bearing grade raises the potential for additional
differential settlement due to the differential expansion potential for claystone and
sandstone. This report contains recommendations for additional remedial grading within
the building pad to remove this geologic transition.
It should be noted that the extent of areas that will require overexcavation to
mitigate geologic transitions will depend upon the final' grades that are
established ttlroughout the site. Therefore, the extent of this remedial grading
may change, following our review of the preliminary grading plan.
Expansion
Most of the on-site soils consist of medium expansive soils and bedrock (EI = 58).
Based on the presence of expansive soils, special care should be taken to prop·erly
moisture condition and maintain adequate moisture content within all. subgrade soils as
well as newly placed fill soils. The foundation and floor slab design recommenqations
contained within this report are made in consideration of the expansion index test
results. It is expected that Significant blending of the on"site soils will occur during
precise grading procedures, and that the resulting building pad subgrade soils will
possess medium expansion potentials. It is recommended that additional expansion
index testing be conducted at the completion of precise grading to verify the expansion
potential of the as-graded building pads.
Shrinkage/Subsidence
Based on our experience with the on-site soils and rock materials, removal and
recompaction of the existing near-surface engineered fill soils is estimated to result in
average shrinkage or bulking of less than 5 percent. Where the eXisting bedrock is
overexcavated and replaced as structural fill, bulking on the order of 0 to 5 percent is
expected.
Minor ground subsidence is expected to occur in the soils below the zone of removal
<;Jue to settlement and machinery working. The subsidence is estimated to be 0.1 feet.
These estimates may be used for grading in areas that are underlain by existing
engineered fill soils. No significant subsidence will occur in areas that are immediately
underlain by sandstone bedrock.
These estimates are based on previous experience and the subsurface conditions
encountered at the boring locations. The actual amount of subsidence i~ expected to
Proposed Industri~1 Building -Carlsbad. CA
ProjectNb. 05G301-1
Page 16
be variable and will be dependant on the type of machinery used, repetitions of use,
and dynamic effects, all of which are difficult to assess precisely.
Setbacks
In accordance with Uniform Building Code (UBC) requirements, all footings should
maintain a minimum horizontal setback of H/3, where H equals the slope height,
measured from the outside face of the footing to any descending slope face. This
setback should not be less than 7 feet, nor need it be greater than 40 feet.
6.3 Site Grading Recommendations
The grading recommendations presented below are based on the subsurface
conditions encountered at the boring locations and our understanding of the proposed
development. We recommend that all grading activities be completed in accordance
with the Grading Guide Specifications included as Appendix D of this report, unless
superseded by site specific recommendations presented below.
Site Stripping and Demolition
Initial site preparation should include stripping of any vegetation and organic debris.
Based on conditions observed at the time of the subsurface exploration, no significant
stripping of vegetation or topsoil is expected to be necessary. However, if vegetation
develops subsequent to the date of our reconnaissance, it should be removed off site.
Removal of the existing desilting basin in the eastern portion of the site is also
recommended.
Initial grading operations should also include abandonment of the existing desilting
basin, located in the northeast portion of the site. Any softened soils, silt deposits,
water, or other unsuitable materials should be removed from the detention basin.
Removals should extend to a depth of suitable structural compacted fill soils or
bedrock.
Treatment of Existing Soils: Building Pad
As discussed above, remedial grading will be necessary in the building area to mitigate
potential variable support conditions due to differential geologic conditions that will exist
at or near the proposed foundation bearing grade.
Remedial grading should be performed within the area of the building to remove and
replace a portion of the dense bedrock as engineered fill. The existing bedrock should
be overexcavated to provide for a new layer of compacted structural fill, extending to a
depth of 3 feet below the proposed building pad subgrade elevation, and to a depth of
at least 3 feet below proposed foundation bearing grade, throughout the building area.
Based on conditions encountered at the boring locations, it is expected that such
overexcavation will be required throughout the building.

In general, the overexcavations should extend at least 5 feet -beyond the building
perimeter. If the proposed structure incorporate any exterior columns (such,as for a
canopy or overhang) the area of overexcavation should also encompass these areas.
Following completion of the overexcavations, the subgrade soils (or bedrock) within the
building area should be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer to verify their suitability
to serve as the structural fill subgrade, as well as to support the foundation loads of the
new structure. This evaluation should include proofrolling with a heavy rubber-tired
vehicle to identify any soft, loose or otherwise unstable soils that must be removed.
Some localized areas of deeper excavation may be required if loose, porous, or low
density soils are encountered at the bottom of the overexcavation. The exposed
subgrade soils should then be scarified to a depth of 12 inches, moisture conditioned to
2 to 4 percent above optimum moisture content, and recompacted.
Treatment of Existing Soils: Retaining Walls and Site Walls
The existing soils within the areas of any proposed retaining walls underlain by less
than 2 feet of existing engineered fill soils should be over~xcavated to a depth of 2 feet
below foundation bearing grade and replaced as compacted structural fill, as discussed
above for the proposed building pad. Subgrade soils in areas of non-retaining site, walls
should be overexcavated to a depth of 1 foot below proposed bearing grade, if not
underlain by at lest 1 foot of existing engineered fill soils. _ In ,both cases, the
overexcavation subgrade soils should be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer prior
to scarifying, moisture conditioning and recompacting the upper 12 inches of exposed
subgrade soils. In areas where unsuitable fill soils are encQuntered at foundation
subgrade level, additional overexcavation or deepened footings will be necessary. The
previously excavated soils may then be replaced as compacted structural fill. -
Treatment of Existing Soils: Parking and Drive Areas
Overexcavation of the existing fill soils in the new parking and drive area~ is -generally
not considered warranted, with the exception of any areas where lower strength sbils
are identified by the geotechnical engineer during grading.
Subgrade preparation in the remaining new parking areas should initially consist of
completion of cuts where required. The geotechnical engineer should then evaluate the
subgrade to identify any areas of unsuitable soils. Based on conditions observed at the
site at the time of drilling, no significant overexcavationis expected to be necessary
within the new parking areas. The subgrade soils should then be scarified to a depth of
12± inches, moisture conditioned to 2 to 4± percent above optimum, and recompacted
to at least 90 percent of the ASTM 0-1557 maxim~m dry density.
Depending upon the actual finished grades, which have not -yet been established,
portions of the parking lot subgrades may be immediately underlain by bedrock. These
materials may be used for direct pavement subgrade support. However, the owner
Proposed Industrial Building -Carlsbad, CA
Project No. 05G301-1
Page 18
and/or developer of the project should understand that minor amounts of reflective
cracking and/or minor differential movements should be expected to occur near the
location of the transitions between these bedrock materials and the adjacent
engineered fill. If such cracking or minor differential movements within the pavements is
not considered acceptable, additional overexcavation should be performed within the
cut portions of the parking areas.
Fill Placement
• Fill soils should be placed in thin (6± inches), near-horizontal lifts, moisture
conditioned to 2 to 4 percent above optimum moisture content, and
compacted.
• On-site soils may be used for fill provided they are cleaned of any debris or
oversized materials to the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer.
• All grading and fill placement activities should be completed in accordance
with the requirements of the Uniform Building Code and the grading code of
the City of Carlsbad.
• All fill soils should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the ASTM 0-1557
maximum dry density. Fill soils should be well mixed.
• Compaction tests should be performed periodically by the geotechnical
engineer as random verification of compaction and moisture content. These
tests are intended to aid the contractor. Since the tests are taken at discrete
locations and depths, they may not be indicative of the entire fill and therefore
should not relieve the contractor of his responsibility to meet the job
specifications.
Imported Structural Fill
All imported structural fill should consist of low expansive (EI < 30), well graded soils
possessing at least 10 percent fines (that portion of the sample passing the No. 200
sieve). Additional specifications for structural fill are presented in the Grading Guide
Specifications, included as Appendix O.
Utility Trench Backfill
In general, all utility trench backfill should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the
ASTM 0-1557 maximum dry density. As an alternative, a clean sand (minimum Sand
Equivalent of 30) may be placed within trenches and flooded in place. Compacted
trench backfill should conform to the requirements of the local grading code, and more
restrictive requirements may be indicated by the City of Carlsbad. Materials used to
backfill trenches should consist of well graded granular soils with a maximum particle
size of 3 inches. All utility trench backfills should be witnessed by the geotechnical
engineer. The trench backfill soils should be compaction tested where possible; probed
and visually evaluated elsewhere.

Utility trenches which parallel a footing, and extending below a. 1 h:1 v plane projected
from the outside edge of the footing should be backfilled with structural fill soils,
compacted to at least 90 percent of the ASTM D-1557 standard. Sand or pea gravel
backfill, unless it is similar to the native soils, should not be used for these trenches.
6.4 Construction Considerations
Moisture Sensitive Subgrade Soils
Some of the near surface soils possess appreCiable silt and clay content and may
become unstable if exposed to significant moisture infiltration or disturbance by
construction traffic. In addition, based on their granular content, the. on-site soils .will
also be susceptible to erosion. The site should, therefore, be graded to prevent
ponding of surface water and to prevent water from running into excavations, '
Excavation Considerations
Based on conditions encountered at the boring locations, the bedrock that underlies the
subject site possesses a dense to very dense relative density, but is somewhat friable.
It is expected that it will be feasible to utilize conventional grading equipment within the
depths that were explored by the borings. However, some difficulty may be encountered
during excavation, possibly requiring large single shank-equipped bulldozers,
excavators, etc. The grading contractor should verify the need for special excavation
equipment prior to bidding the project.
Based on the presence of moderately granular soils throughout the development area,
minor to moderate caving of shallow excavations may occur. Flattened excavation
slopes may be sufficient to mitigate caving of shallow excavations, although deeper
excavations may require some form of external stabilization such as shoring or bracing.
Temporary excavation slopes should be no steeper than 1 h:1v. All excavation activities
on this site should be conducted in accordance with Cal-OSHA r.egulations.
Expansive Soils
As previously discussed, the on site soils have been determined to possess a medium
expansion potential. Therefore, care should be given to proper moisture conditioning of
all building pad subgrade soils to a moisture content of 2 to 4 p~rcent above the
Modified Proctor optimum during site grading. All imported fill soils should have low to
medium expansive characteristics. In addition to adequately moisture'· conditioning the
subgrade soils and fill soils during grading, special care must be taken to maintain the
moisture content of these soils at 2 to 4 percent above the Modified Proctor optimum.
This will require the contractor to frequently moisture condition these soils throughout
the grading process, unless grading occurs during a period of relatively wet weather~
Proposed Industrial Building -Carlsbad, CA
Project No .. 05G301-1
Page 20
----------~~-----~----------......,.-...,.,
Due to the presence of expansive soils at this site, provisions should be made to limit
the potential for surface water to penetrate the soils immediately adjacent to the
structures. These provisions should include directing surface runoff into rain gutters
and area drains, reducing the extent of landscaped areas around the structures, and
sloping the ground surface away from the buildings. Where possible, it is recommended
that landscaped planters not be located immediately adjacent to the proposed
buildings. If landscaped planters around the buildings are necessary, it is
recommended that drought tolerant plants or a drip irrigation system be utilized, to
minimize the potential for deep moisture penetration around the structure. Other
provisions, as determined by the civil engineer may also be appropriate.
Groundwater
Free water was not encountered within the depths explored py the borings drilled for
this project. These borings extended to a maximum depth of 20± feet below existing
grade. Based on this information, groundwater is not expected to impact the proposed
grading or foundation construction activities.
6.5 Foundation Design and Construction
Based on the preceding preliminary grading recommendations, it is assumed that the
new building pad will be immediately underlain by existing or newly placed structural fill
soils extending to depths of at least 3± feet below foundation bearing grade. Based on
this subsurface profile, the proposed structure may be supported on conventional
shallow foundation systems.
Foundation Design Parameters
New square and rectangular footings may be designed as follows:
• Maximum, net allowable soil bearing pressure: 2,500 Ibs/fe. The allowable
bearing pressure may be increased by 1/3 when considering short duration
wind or seismic loads.
• Minimum wali/column footing width: 14 inches/24 inches
• Minimum longitudinal steel reinforcement within strip footings: Four (4) No.5
rebars (2 top and 2 bottom), due to medium expansive potential of near
surface soils.
• Minimum foundation embedment: 12 inches into suitable structural fill soils,
and at least 18 inches below adjacent exterior grade. Interior column footings
may be placed immediately beneath the floor slab.

• It is recommended that the perimeter foundations be continuous acros~ all
exterior doorways. Flatwork adjacent to exterior doors should be doweled into
the perimeter foundations in a manner determined by the structur;31 engineer.
The minimum steel reinforcement recommended above' is based on geotechnical
'considerations. Additional reinforcement may be, necessary for structural
considerations. The actual design of the foundations should be determi.ned by the
structural engineer.' .
Foundation Construction
The foundation subgrade soils should be evaluated at the time of overexcavation, as
discussed in Section 6.3 of this report. It is further recommended that the foundation
subgrade soils be evaluated by the geotechnic;al engineer immediately prior to steel or
concrete placement. Soils suitable for direct foundation support should consist of newly
placed structural fill, compacted to at least 90 percent of the ASTM D-1557 maximum
dry density. Any unsuitable bearing materials should be removed to a 'depth of suitable
bearing compacted structural fill, with the resulting excavations backfilled with
compacted fill soils. As an alternative, lean concrete slurry (500 to, 1,500 psi) may be
used to backfill such isolated overexcavations.
The foundation subgrade soils should also be properly moisture conditioned to 2 to 4
percent above the Modified Proctor optimum, to a depth of at least 12 inches below
bearing grade.
Estimated Foundation Settlements
Post-construction total and differential settlements induced by the foundation loads of
the new structures are estimated to be less than 1.0 and 0.5 inches, respectively, for
shallow foundations designed and constructed in accordance with the
recommendations provided in this report. The differential movements are expected to
occur over a 30-foot span, thereby resulting in an angular distortion of less than Q~002
inches per inch.
Lateral Load Resistance
Lateral load resistance will be developed by a combination. of friction acting at the base
of foundations and slabs and the passive earth pressure developed by footings below
grade. The following friction and passive pressure may be used to resist lateral forces:
• Passive Earth Pressure: 250 Ibs/fe
• Friction Coefficient: 0.25
These are allowable values, and include a factor of safety. When combining fric~.ion and
passive resistance, the passive pressure component should be reduced by ooe-third.
Proposed Industrial Building '"7' Carlsbad, CA
. Project No:,05G30t~1
Page 22
These values assume that footings will be poured directly against suitable compacted
structural fill. The maximum allowable passive pressure is 2500 Ibs/ff.
6.6 Floor Slab Design and Construction
Subgrades which will support new floor slabs should be prepared in accordance with
the recommendations contained in the Site Grading Recommendations section of this
report. Based on the anticipated grading which will occur at this site, the floors of the
new structure may be constructed as conventional slabs-on-grade supported on newly
placed structural fill. Based on geotechnical considerations, the floor slabs may be
designed as follows:
• Minimum slab thickness: 5 inches
• Minimum slab reinforcement: No. 3 bars at 18-inches on-center, in both
directions.
• Slab underlayment: 10-mil vapor barrier, overlain by 2 inches of clean sand.
Where moisture sensitive floor coverings are not anticipated, the vapor
barrier and 2-inch layer of sand may be eliminated.
• Moisture condition the floor slab subgrade soils to 2 to 4 percent above
optimum moisture content, to a depth of 12 inches.
• Proper concrete curing techniques should be utilized to reduce the potential
for slab curling or the formation of excessive shrinkage cracks.
6.7 Retaining Wall Design Recommendations
It is expected that some small retaining walls may be required to facilitate the new site
grades. The parameters recommended for use in the design of these walls are
presented below.
Retaining Wall Design Parameters
Based on the soil conditions encountered at the boring locations, the following
parameters may be used in the design of new retaining walls for this site. We have
provided parameters for two different types of wall backfill: on-site soils consisting of
sandy silts, silty sands and sandy clays; and imported select granular material. In order
to use the design parameters for the imported select fill, this material must be placed
within the entire active failure wedge. This wedge is defined as extending from the
base of the retaining wall upwards at a 59 degree angle of inclination.

Pressure: (2h: 1 v backfill)
At-Rest Condition 481bs/ft3 661bs/ft3
(level backfill) -
Regardless of the backfill type, the walls should be designed using" a soil-footing
coefficient of friction of 0.25 and an equivalent passive pressure of 2S0 Ibs/ft3.
The active earth pressures may be used for the design of retaining walls which do not
directly support structures or support soils which in turn support structures and which
wUl be allowed to deflect. The at-rest earth pressures should be used fQr walls which
will not be allowed to deflect such as those which will support foundation be"aring soils,
or which will support foundation loads directly.
Where the soils on the toe side of the retaining wall are not covered by a "hardll surface
such as a structure or pavement, the upper 1 foot of soil should be neglected when
calculating passive resistance due to the potential for the material to become disturbed
or degraded during the life of the structure. "
Retaining Wall Foundation Design
Retaining walls should be supported within newly placed structural fill monitored during
placement by the geotechnical engineer. Where retaining walls are also serving as
building walls, they should be graded in accordance with the recommendatibns
presented in Section 6.3 of this report for the proposed building pad areas. Foufldations
to support new retaining walls should be designed in accordance with the g~neral
Foundation Design Parameters presented in a previous section of this report.
Backfill Material
It is recommended that a minimum 1 foot thick layer of free-draining granular material
(less than 5 percent passing the No. 200 sieve) should be placed .against the face of
the retaining walls. This material should be approved by the "geotechnical. engineer. A
suitable geotextile should be used to separate the layer of free draining granular
Southern California Geotechnical C.O' Proposed Industrial Building -'-Carlsbad, CA
Project No. 05G301*1
Page 24
material from the backfill soils. If the layer of free-draining material is not covered by an
impermeable surface, such as a structure or pavement, a 12-inch thick layer of a low
permeability soil should be placed over the backfill to reduce surface water migration to
the underlying soils.
All retaining wall backfill should be placed and compacted under engineering controlled
conditions in the necessary layer thicknesses to ensure an in-place density between 90
and 93 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor test
(ASTM 01557-91). Care should be taken to avoid over-compaction of the soils behind
the retaining walls, and the use of heavy compaction equipment should be avoided.
Subsurface Drainage
As previously indicated, the retaining wall design parameters are based upon drained
backfill conditions. Consequently, some form of permanent drainage system will be
necessary in conjunction with the appropriate backfill material. Subsurface drainage
may consist of either:
• A weep hole drainage system typically consisting of a series of 4-inch
diameter holes in the wall situated slightly above the ground surface elevation
on the exposed side of the wall and at an approximate" 8-foot on-center
spacing. The weep holes should include a minimum 2 cubic foot gravel
pocket surrounded by an appropriate geotextile fabric at each weep hole
location.
• A 4-inch diameter perforated pipe surrounded by 2 cubic feet of gravel per
linear foot of drain placed behind the retaining wall, above the footing. The
gravel drain should be wrapped in a suitable geotextile fabric to reduce the
potential for migration of fines. The footing drain should be extended to
daylight or tied into a storm drainage system.
6.8 Pavement Design Parameters
Site preparation in the pavement area should be completed as previously
recommended in the Site Grading Recommendations section of this report. The
subsequent preliminary pavement recommendations assume proper drainage and
construction monitoring, and are based on either PCA or CAL TRANS design
parameters for a twenty (20) year design period. These preliminary designs also
assume a routine pavement maintenance program to obtain the 20-year pavement
service life.
Pavement Subgrades
It is anticipated that the new pavements will be primarily supported on a layer of
compacted structural fill, consisting of scarified, thoroughly moisture conditioned and

recompacted native materials and/or fill soils. The on-site soils generally consist of
sandy clays and sandy clays. These soils are' considered to possess fair pavement
support characteristics with R-values of 10 to 20. Since R-value testing was not
included in the scope of services for this project, the subsequent pavement design is
based upon an assumed R-value of 15. Any fill material imported to the site should
have support characteristics equal to or greater than that of the on-site soils and be
placed and compacted under ,engineering controlled conditions. It is recommended that
R-value testing be performed after completion of -rough grading. D.epending upon the
results of theR-value testing, it may be feasible to use thinner pavement sections in
some areas of the site.
Asphaltic Concrete
The pavement designs are based on the traffic indices (TI's) indicated. The client
and/or civil engineer should verify that these TI's are -re,presentative' of the
anticipated traffic volumes. If the client and/or civil engineer determine that the
expected traffic volume will' exceed those recommended herein, we should be
contacted for supplementary recommendations. The design traffic indices e'quate to
the following approximate daily traffic volumes over a 20-year design life, assuming 5
operational traffic days per week:
Traffic Index No. of Heavy Trucks per Day
4.0 0
5.0 1
6.0 3
7.0 11
For the purposes of the traffic volumes above, a truck is defin~d as a 5-axle tractor-
trailer unit, with one 8-kip axle and two 32-kip tandem axles. All of the traffic indices
allow for 1000 automobiles per day.
Presented below are the recommended thicknesses for new flexible pavement
structures consisting of asphaltic concrete over a granular base. It should be noted that
the TI = 5.0 section only allows for 1 truck per day. Therefore, all significant heavy
truck traffic must be excluded from areas where this thinner pavement section is used;
othelWise premature pavement distress may occur.

GRADING GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS
These grading guide specifications are Intended to provide typical· procedures for grading
operations. They are intended to supplement the recommenqatlons contained in the
geotechnical investigation report for this project. Should the recommen~atlons in the
geotechnical investigation report conflict with the grading guide specifications, the more site
specific recommendations in the geotechnical investigation report will govern.
General
• The Earthwork Contractor Is responsible for the satisfactory completion of aU earthwork in
accordance with the plans and geotechnical reports, and In a~cOrdance with city, county,
and Uniform Building Codet! ..
• The Geotechnical Engineer Is the repr~sentatlve of the Owner/Builder for the purpose of
implementing the report recommendations and guidelines. These duties are not Intended to
relieve the Earthwork Contractor of any responsibility to perform in a workman-like manner,
nor Is the Geotechnical Engineer to direct the grading equIpment or personnel employed by
the Contractor. "
• The Earthwork Contrac;tor is requited to notify the Geotechnical Engineer of the anticipated
work and schedule so that testing and inspections can be provided. If necessary, work may
be stopped and redone If personnel have not been scheduled In advance.
• The Earthwork Contractor is required to have suitable and sufficient equipment on the job-
site" to process, moisture condition, mix and compact the ~mount of fill being placed to the
specified compaction. In addltlon, suitable support equipment should be available to
conform with recommendations and guidelines In. this report.
~ Canyon cleanouts, overexcavation areas, processed grounQ to recelve flll~key excavations,
subdralns and benches should be observed by ~lie Geot~chnlcal Engineer prior to
placement of any fill. It is the Earthwork Contractor'sresponslblUty to notlfythe Geotechnical
Engineer of areas that are ready for Inspection. .
• excavation, filling, t:lnd subgrade preparation should be performed In a manner and
sequence that will provide drainage at all times and propet control of erosion. Precipitation,
springs, and seepage"water encountered shall be pumped or'drained to provide a suitable
working surface. The Geotechnical Engineer must be Informed of springs or water seepage
encountered during grading or foundation construction for possible revision to the
recommended construction procedures andfor Installation of subdralns.
Site preparation
• The Earthwork Contractor Is responsible for all clearing, grubbing, stripping and site
preparation for the project In accordance with the recommendations of the Geotechnical
Engineer.
,. If any materials or areas are encount~red by the EarthworkCOtitractor which are suspected
of having toxic or environmentally sensitive contaml~atlon, the Geotechnical Engineer and
Owner/Builder should be notified Immediately.
• "Major vegetation should be" stripped and disposed of off-site, This Includes trees, brush,
heavy grasses and any materials considered unsuitable by the Geotechnlc.al Engineer.
Grading Guide SpeCifications Page 2
• Underground structures such as basements, cesspools or septiC disposal systems, mining
shafts, tunnels, wells and pipelines should be removed under the Inspection of the
Gaota.chnlcal engineer and recommendations provided by the Geotechnical Engineer and/or
city. county or state agencies. If such structures are known or found, the Geotechnloal
Engineer should be notified as soon as possible so that recommendations can be
fonnulated.
• Any topsoil. slopewash. colluvium. alluvium and rock materials whloh are considered
unsuitable by the Geotechnical Engineer should be removed prior to fill placement.
• Remaining voids created during site clearing caused by removal of trees, foundations
basements, Irrigation facilities, etc., should be excavated and filled with compaoted fill.
• Subsequent to clearing and removals,.areas to receive fill should be scarlfled to a depth of
10 to 12 Inches, moisture conditioned and compacted
• The moisture condition of the processed ground should be at or slighUy above the optimum
moisture content as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer. Depending upon field
conditions, this may require air drying or watering together with mixing andtor dlsolng.
Compacted Fills
• Soli materials imported to or excavated on the property may be utilized in the fill, provided
each material· has been determined to be suitable In the opinion of the Geotechnical
Engineer. Unless otherwise approved by the Geotechnical Engineer, all fltl materials shall
be free of deleterious, organic, or frozen matter, shall contain no chemicals that may result
In the material being classified as ·contamlnated,· and shall be low to non-expanslve with a
maximum expansion Index (EI) of 50. The top 12 Inches ofthecompactedflll should have a
maximum particle size of 3 inches, and all underlying compacted flll material a maximum 6-
Inch particle size, except as noted below.
• All salls should be evaluated and tested by the Geotechnical Engineer. Materials with high
expansion potential, low strength, poor gradatlon or containing organic materials may require
removal from the site or seleotive placement andfor mixing to the satisfaction of the
Geotechnical Engineer ..
• Rock fragments or rocks greater than 6 Inches should be taken off-site or placed In
accordance with recommendations and In areas designated as suitable by the Geotechnical
Engineer. Acceptable methods typically Include windrows. Oversize materials should not be
placed within the ~nge of exoavatlon for foundatlon~, utilities, or pools to facilitate
excavations. Rock placement should be kept away from slopes (minimum distance: 15 feet)
to faoilltate compaction near the slope.
• Fill materials approved by the Geotechnical Engineer should be placed In areas previously
prepared tQ receive fill and In evenly placed. near horizontal layers at about 6 to 8 Inches In
loose thickness, or as otherwise determined by the Geotechnical Engineer.
• Each layer should be moisture conditioned to optimum moisture cOl')tent, or slightly above,
as directed by the Geotechnical Engineer. After proper mixing and/or drying, to evenly
distribute the moisture, the layers should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the
maximum dry density In compliance with ASTM 0-1557 unless otherwise Indicated.
• Density and moisture content testing should be performed by the Geotechnloal Engineer at
random Intervals and looations as determined by the Geot~chnloa' Engineer. These tests
are Intended as an aid to the Earthwork Contractor, so he can evaluate his workmanship,

equipment effectiveness and site conditions. The Earthwork Contractor Is responsible for
compaction as required by the Geotechnical Report(s) and governmental agencies.
• After compacted fills have been \ested and approved by the geotechnical engineer, the
contractor should moisture condition the solis ,as necessary to maintain the compacted
moisture content. Compacted fill solis that are allowed to become ovetty dry or desiccated
may reql!lre removal and/or scarification, moisture condKlonlng and replacement. Solis with
medium to high expansion Indices are especially susceptible to desiccation. Sandy salls that
are allowed to dry can also lose density.
• Fill areas unused for a period of time may require moisture conditioning, processing and
recompactlon prior to the start of additional filling. The Earthwork Contractor'should notify
the Geotechnical Engineer of his Intent so that an evaluation can be .made:
• Fill placed on ground sloping at a 5-to.1 Inclination (horlzontal~to-vertlcal) or steeper should
be benched Into bedrock or other suitable materials, as directed by the Geotechnical
Engineer. Typical details of benching are Illustrated on Plates G·2, G-4; and G-5.
• CutlflU transition lots should have the cut portion overexcavated'to a'depth ofat least 3 feet
and rebuilt with fill (see Plate G-1), as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer.
• All cut lots should be Inspected by the Geotechnical Engineer for fracturing and other
bedrock conditions. If necessary, the pads should be overexcavated to a <tepth of3 feet !3nd
rebuilt with a uniform. more cohesive soil type to impede moisture penetration.
• Cut portions of pad areas above buttresses or stabilizations should be overexcavated to a
depth'ofS feet and rebuilt with uniform. more cohesive compactecf'filUo impede moisture
penetration. .
• Non-structural fill adjacent to structural fill should typically be placed in unison to provide
lateral support. Backfill along walls must be placed and compacted with care to ensure that ,
excessive unbalanced lateral pressures do not develop. The type of fill material placed
adjacent to below grade walls must be properly tested and approved by the Geotechnical
Engineer with consideration of the lateral earth pressure used In the design.
Foundations
• The foundation influence zone is defined as extending one foot horizontally from the outside
edge of a footing, and then proceeding downward at a % horizontal to 1 vertical (0.5:1)
inclination.
• Where overexcavation beneath a footing subgrade is necessary, It should be conducted so
as to encompass the,entire foundation influence zone, as described above.
• Compacted' fill adjacent to exterior footings should extend at least 12 Inches above
foundation bearing grade. Compacted flll within the Interior of struotures should e~end to
the floor subgrade elevation,
Fill Slopes
• The placement and compaction of flit desoribed above applies to all fill slopes. Slope
compaction should be accomplished by overfilling the slope, adequately compacting the fill
in even layers, Including the overfilled zone and cutting the slope back to expose the
compacted core.
• Slope compaction may also be achieved by backroiling the slope adequately every 2 to 4-
vertical feet during the filling process as well as requ1rlng the earth moving and compaction
equipment to work close to the top of the slope. Upon completion of slope construction, the
Grading Guide Specifications Page 4
slope face should be compacted with a 8heepsfoot connected to a side boom and then grid
rolled. This method of slope compaction should only be used If approved by the
Geotechnical Engineer.
• Sandy salls lacking in adequate cohesion may be unstable for a finished slope condition and
therefore should not be placed within 15 horizontal feet of the slope face.
• All flll slopes should be keyed Into bedrock or other suitable material. Fill keys should be at
least 15 feet wide and Inclined at 2 percent Into the Ilope. For slopes higher than 30 feet,
the fill key width should be equal to one-half the height of the slope (see Plate G-5).
• All flll keys should be cleared of loose slough material prior to ge.oteohnlcallnspectlon and
should be approved by the Geotechnical Engineer and govemmental agencies prior to filling.
• The cut portion of flll over cut slopes should be made first and inspected by the Geotechnical
Engineer for possible stabilization requirements. The flll portion should be adequately keyed
through all surficial solis and Into bedrock or suitable material. Salls should be removed
from the transition zone between the cut and fill portions (see Plate G-2).
Cut Slopes
• All cut slopes should be Inspected by the Geotechnical Engineer to determine the need for
stabilization.· The Earthwork Contractor should notify the Geotechnical engineer when slope
cutting Is In progress at Intervals of 1 0 vertical feet. Failure to notify may result In a delay In
recommendations.
• Cut slopes exposing loose, coheslonless sands should be reported to the Geotechnical
Engineer for possible stabilization recommendations.
• All stabilization excavations should be cleared of loose slough material prior to geotechnical
Inspection. Stakes should be provided by the Civil Engineer to verify the location and
dimensions of the key. A typical stabilization fill detail Is shown on Plate G-5.
• Stabilization key excavations should be provided with subdralns. Typical subdraln details
are shown on Plates G-6.
Sybdralns
• Subdralns may be required In canyons and swales where fill placement Is proposed. Typical
subdraln details for canyons are shown on Plate G-3. Subdralns should be Installed after
approval of removals and before filling, ·as determined by the Salls Engineer.
• Plastic pipe may be used for subdralns provided It Is Sohedule 40 or SOR 35 or equivalent.
Pipe should be protected against breakage, typically by placement In a square-cut (backhoe)
trench or as recommended by the manufacturer. .
~ Filter material for subdralns should conform to CAL TRANS SpeCification 68-1.025 or as
approved by the Geotechnical Engineer for the specific site conditions. Clean %-Inch
orushed rock may be used provided It Is wrapped In an acceptable filter oloth and approved
by the Geotechnical Engineer. Pipe diameters should be 6 Inches for runs up to 500 feet
and 8 Inches for the downstream continuations of longer runs. Four-Inch diameter pipe may
be used In buttress and stabilization fills.

********************************************************************
* CAUTION:
*
*
*
*
*
*
The digitized data points used to model faults are
limited in number and have been digitized from small-
scale maps (e.g., 1:750,000 scale). Consequently,
the estimated fault-site-distances may be in error by
several kilometers. Therefore, it is important that
the distances be carefully checked for accuracy and
adjusted as needed, before they are used in design.
