Dear Mr. Mitchell:
In accordance with your authorization of our proposal LG-11294, dated October 11, 2011, we are
pleased to submit the resuUs of our geotechnical investigation for the proposed Quarry Creek II
project. The accompanying report presents the results of our recent subsurface investigation.
Conclusions and recommendations of this study are based on review of available published
geotechnical reports and literature, observations during grading currently being performed on the
property for reclamation, previous subsurface geotechnical exploration and site reconnaissance of
existing conditions.
The eastem half of the property has been used for mining and cmshing rock to produce commercial
aggregates. As the result, the eastem half of the site is underlain by compacted fill, previously placed
fill, undocumented fill, sedimentary, volcanic, and intmsive bedrock. Currently, reclamation grading
is occurring on this portion of the site. The westem half of the site is in an ungraded natural
condition. The accompanying report presents findings from our studies relative to geotechnical
engineering aspects of developing the site. The site is considered suitable for the proposed
improvements provided the recommendations of this report are followed.
Should you have questions regarding this report, or if we may be of further service, please contact
the undersigned at your convenience.
Very tmly yours.

Dear Mr. Mitchell:
In accordance with the request of Ms. Marina Wurst with Project Design Consultants, Geocon
Incorporated has prepared this letter providing additional slope stability analyses for the project site.
We understand that plans are to constmct a 1.5:1 (horizontal to vertical) permanent cut slope along
the north end of Lot No. 2 adjacent to Haymar Dr. The slope will have a maximum height of 32 feet.
Formational soils ofthe Santiago Formation will be exposed on the cut slope.
To evaluate the 1.5:1 cut slope we performed stability analysis utilizing the Janbu Charts for global
and surficial slope stability cases. The slope stability analysis yielded factors of safety in excess of
1.5 for both cases. Figures 1 and 2, attached, present the slope stability analysis.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, or if we may be of further service, please contact the

Dear Mr. Mitchell:
In accordance with your request, we have prepared this letter to express our opinion regarding terrace
drains on proposed slopes on the subject site. Based on our experience on the project site, and review
of preliminary grading plans and the referenced soil and geologic reconnaissance, it is our opinion
that terrace drains on cut or fill slopes for the project are not necessary to maintain gross stability of
the slopes. Proposed new project slopes will be 40 feet or less in height with inclinations of 2
horizontal to 1 vertical, and if properly constructed, will have a factor of safety in excess of 1.5 for
both global and surficial stability.
It has been our experience that terrace drains that are not properly maintained generate concentrated
areas of surface runoff. Drains that are not periodically cleaned of vegetation and debris could result
in significant slope distress and erosion.

PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This report presents the results of a preliminary geotechnical investigation for the proposed Quarry
Creek II development. The purpose of the geotechnical investigation is to evaluate surface and
subsurface soil conditions and general site geology, and to identify geotechnical constraints that may
impact development of the property. In addition, the purpose of this report is to provide preliminary
foundation design criteria, concrete flatwork recommendations, retaining wall recommendations,
excavation and remedial grading considerations that can be utilized in developing project budgets.
The scope of this investigation also included a review of readily available published and unpublished
geologic literature, aerial photographs and the following documents previously prepared for the
property:

The site is located south of State Route 78 and west of College Boulevard in the city of Carlsbad,
Califomia (see Vicinity Map, Figure 1).
The eastem portion of the site is currently being graded as part of the reclamation process. Geocon
Incorporated is performing compaction testing and observation services during the grading
operations. As graded conditions as of the date of this report are shown on the Geologic Map
(Figures 2 and 3). Import fill operations are ongoing to complete reclamation grading. We will
update the geologic map once reclamation grading is complete.
We performed a limited field investigation in April 2004 for the westem portion of the site that
included excavating six small-diameter exploratory borings to a maximum depth of approximately 61
feet. The results were published in Reference No. 2. Our current study included excavating 5 large
diameter borings and 22 trenches. The boring and trench logs and other details of the field
investigation are presented in Appendix A.
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 1 - May 11, 2012
We tested selected soil samples obtained during the field investigation to evaluate pertinent physical
properties for engineering analyses and to assist in providing recommendations for site grading.
Details of the laboratory tests and a summary of the test results are presented in Appendix B and on
the boring logs in Appendix A. The Geologic Map, Figures 2 and 3 also present the locations ofthe
exploratory excavations
Other reports reviewed as part of this study are summarized on the List of References at the end of
this report.
2. SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Quarry Creek II area encompasses approximately 45 developable acres of property that has
undergone many years of mining rock with associated cmshing and screening to produce commercial
aggregate products. The majority of previous mining activity occurred in the eastem and southem
portions of the site. Waste products from mining were subsequently placed in canyon or pit areas to
reclaim quarry excavations. This has resulted in placement of mostly undocumented fill in
depressions, as well as some compacted fill. A former concrete batch plant and base-coarse crushing
and screening plant operated by Hanson Aggregates recently occupied the central portion of the
property. Other portions of the property were previously used for storage purposes, which include
stockpiles of concrete and asphalt rubble, bioremediation stockpiles, and other materials.
Reclamation grading of the previously mined area commenced in July 2011 and is expected to
continue into February 2012. During reclamation grading, undocumented fills are being removed and
replaced as compacted fill. Alluvial soils within the drainage area is being removed to within 3 feet
of the current groundwater elevation and recompacted. Drop structures, levees, and rock revetment
slopes are being constmcted along and in Buena Vista Creek drainage. Currently, reclamation
grading has resulted in removal of undocumented fill and replacement with compacted fill on the
north side of Buena Vista Creek and majority of the areas south of the creek. Reclamation grading
will result in large sheet graded pads on the eastem half of the property on both the north and south
sides of Buena Vista Creek.
Topographically, the property slopes northward, southward, and westward, following the east-west
natural drainage of Buena Vista Creek valley and its tributaries. The original valley-slope topography
has been lowered by quarry operations to create moderately sloping surfaces in most of the planned
reclamation area. However, mining of rock in the northeast quadrant has created near-vertical rock
slopes. The cut has exposed fractured rock, which is very strong and considered stable in its
temporary steep condition. Recommendations for a permanent slope condition are provided in the
slope stability section of this report.
Project No. 07135-42-03 -2 - May 11,2012
Slopes on the south side of the valley have been graded to permanent 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) cut
slopes with benches, bench-drains and brow-ditches. On the north side of the site, reclamation
grading has resulted in 2:1 cut slopes. Elevations in the eastem half of the property vary from
approximately 80 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) to above 300 feet MSL in open-space areas. At the
completion of reclamation grading, sheet graded pad elevations will vary from approximately 100 to
120 feet MSL. On the westem ungraded portion of the site, existing site elevations vary from
approximately 80 feet MSL to 160 feet MSL.
Review of the preliminary grading plan for Quarry Creek II indicates regrading in the eastem half of
the property after reclamation grading will generally consist of cuts and fills up to 40 feet and
10 feet, respectively. Within the ungraded westem portion, cuts and fills up to 35 and 30 feet,
respectively will occur to create large sheet-graded pads. Development will also include the
construction of a bridge across the creek, roadways, and utilities. A report specific to the bridge will
be provided separately.
The site description and proposed development are based on a site reconnaissance and review of the
reclamation plans and preliminary grading plans. If development plans differ significantly from those
described herein, Geocon Incorporated should be contacted for review and possible revisions to this
report.
3. SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
Eight surficial soil deposits and four geologic formations were encountered and/or mapped on the
property. Surficial soil deposits include undocumented fill, compacted fill, previously placed fill,
topsoil (unmapped), surficial landslide debris, alluvium, and colluvium. Formational units include
Quatemary-age Terrace Deposits, Tertiary-age Volcanic Rock, Santiago Formation, and Jurassic-age
Salto Intrusive rock. Mapped limits of the geologic units are shown on the Geologic Maps (Figures 2
and 3). Geologic Cross Sections are presented on Figures 4 and 5. The surficial soil types and
geologic units are described below.
3.1 Compacted Fill (Qcf)
Compacted fill placed during reclamation grading exists across the northeast portion of the property.
Observation and compaction testing of the fill has been performed by Geocon Incorporated. A report
documenting compaction tests will be provided at the completion of reclamation grading. The fill is
predominately comprised of silty to clayey sand with varying amounts of rock fragments, soil rock
fills, and windrows of oversize rock and concrete. A 10-foot hold-down for oversize rock has been
recommended during reclamation grading. Compacted fill is considered suitable for support of
additional fill and structural loads.
Project No. 07135-42-03 -3 - May 11,2012
3.2 Undocumented Fill (Qudf)
Undocumented fill exists in the northeast portion of the property beyond the reclamation grading
limit and within the existing access road from Haymar Drive. The majority of this undocumented fill
will likely be removed based on proposed cuts for Quarry Creek II. However, we expect some
remedial grading will be needed below proposed cut elevations to completely remove undocumented
fill. A small amount of undocumented fill also exists just west of the graded reclamation parcels near
the central portion of the overall Quarry Creek 11 project. Undocumented fill is unsuitable in its
present condition, and will require removal and recompaction to support additional fill or structural
improvements. Oversize materials encountered during remedial grading may require breaking down
and special placement procedures in deeper fill areas.
In the northeast portion of the property, a limited amount of undocumented fill was left in-place
during reclamation grading due to the presence of groundwater. Based on our observations during
reclamation grading and potholes performed, we expect less than 3 to 5 feet of fill was left below
groundwater in some areas. We do not expect the presence of the undocumented fill will impact
future development.
3.3 Previously Placed Compacted Fill (Qpcf)
Limited areas in the northeast and southeast portions of the property are underlain by previously
placed compacted fill (see Geologic Map). According to a report by Ninyo and Moore (dated
August 31, 2000), most of the approximately 10 feet of documented fill in the bottom of the northem
pit area had been placed between approximately 1988 and 2000. The report describes the fill
as ... interlayered, medium dense to dense, clayey and silty sand, clayey gravel and stiff sandy clay.
Portions of the compacted fill were buried beneath stockpiles of oversize shot-rock that was removed
during recent reclamation grading. The upper approximately 3 to 5 feet of previously placed
compacted fill was removed during reclamation grading and recompacted.
Previously placed compacted fill associated with the development of the eastem quarry (Wal-Mart
shopping center) encroaches into the southeastem portion of the property. These materials were
partially removed and recompacted during the recent grading operations. Based on observations
during reclamation grading, the fill appears to be relatively dense with adequate moisture content and
considered suitable for support of stmctural improvements.
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 4 - May 11, 2012
3.4 Previously Placed Fill (Qpf)
Previously placed fill exists near Haymar Drive and Highway 78 along the northem property
boundary. The approximate limit of the previously placed fill is shown on Figure 2 (Geologic Map).
These soils should not impact future development of the property.
3.5 Topsoil (Unmapped)
Portions of the westem side of the site are irregularly blanketed by 1 to 3 feet of topsoil consisting of
loose, porous, dark brown, silty to clayey, fine sand. Topsoil is compressible and expansive, and will
require removal and recompaction within areas of planned development. Expansive clays should be
placed in deeper excavations during grading.
3.6 Surficial Landslide Debris (Qlsf)
Several suspicious surficial landslides are mapped within the westem portion of the site, along the
south banks of the Buena Vista Creek basin. Due to the limited access to these areas, subsurface
investigation was not practical at this time. Their existence will be verified when access is available
or during the grading operations. Trench T-5 was excavated at one of these areas and showed
approximately 5 feet of sandy clay material overlying bedrock formation. The surficial landslide
debris, if they exist, are considered unsuitable for receiving fill or stmctures and require removal.
3.7 Alluvium (Qai)
Alluvial deposits are present within the major east-west drainage of Buena Vista Creek, as well as in
the northeastem and southwestem tributary canyons that converge with Buena Vista Creek in the
central portion of the site. The alluvial soils generally consist of loose, porous dark gray to dark
brown, very clayey, fine to medium sand, and clayey sand and silt with occasional layers of slightly
silty sand. Areas of deepest alluvium are located in the central portion of the site adjacent to the
original channel of Buena Vista Creek and its tributaries. The alluvium is compressible and not
suitable for support of additional fill and/or structural loads and will require partial (dependent upon
groundwater depths) to complete removal. Remedial grading of the alluvium along the north and
south sides of the main Buena Vista Creek drainage has occurred during the reclamation grading
currently in progress. Alluvium is expected to be encountered along the toe of the south facing fill
slope at the west end of the property.
3.8 Colluvium (Qc)
CoUuvial deposits were encountered in the southwest portion of the site mostly along the sides of the
draining tributary canyons. Colluvium is comprised of approximately 4 to 6 feet of loose dark brown.
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 5 - May 11, 2012
very clayey to silty, fine sand. Due to the loose unconsolidated condition of the colluvium, removal
and recompaction will be required to provide suitable support for placement of compacted fill or
structural improvements.
3.9 Terrace Deposits (Qt)
Extensive and thick river terrace deposits consisting of medium-dense to dense, light reddish-brown
to olive-brown, gravelly, silty to clayey, medium to coarse sand to cohesionless sand with occasional
layers of silty clay are present in the westem and southwest portions of the site. Except near
depositional contacts (or unconformities) with older formations, this unit is typically massive to
horizontally bedded, relatively dense and exhibits low compressibility characteristics. Terrace
Deposits are most prevalent in the southwestem portions of the site. The sandy zones are suitable for
support of fill and/ or structural loads in their present condition. The clayey zones, however, possess
low shear strength and high expansion potential.
Our large diameter boring LB-2 performed in the proposed cut slope located at the southwest
boundary, adjacent to Simsbury Court, encountered materials consists of interbedded silty sand,
cohessionless sand and clay layers which are occasionally partially remolded. We recommend a
stability buttress be constmcted along this cut slope to provide adequate slope stability.
3.10 Tertiary Volcanics (Tv)
Tertiary-age volcanic rocks are present in a limited lens-shape area exposed in the southeast portion
ofthe site in the existing 2:1 cut slope between approximate elevations 120 to 140 feet MSL. It
consists of deeply weathered, massive light reddish-brown, moderately strong, volcanic tuff. This
unit exhibits medium-dense to dense characteristics with little indication of slope erosion. This unit
is considered to possess suitable geotechnical characteristics for slope stability and for support of fill
and/or stmctural loads.
3.11 Santiago Formation (Ts)
The Eocene-aged Santiago Formation, consisting of dense, massive bedded light brown to greenish-
gray sandstones and thin interbedded siltstones is present in the north-central and south-central
portions of the site. The Santiago Formation is generally granular and possesses suitable
geotechnical characteristics in either an undisturbed and/or properly compacted condition. However,
the occurrence of clayey siltstones and claystone layers in this unit may generate moderate to highly
expansive materials, or localized expansive zones at grade. Where practical, clayey zones of the
Santiago Formation should be placed at least 3 feet below proposed subgrade elevations.
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 6 - May 11, 2012
3.12 Salto Intrusive (Jspi)
The Jurassic-aged Salto Intmsive consists of a steeply jointed, dark gray, very strong tonalite to
gabbro rock considered to be older than the Peninsular Range Batholith and more closely related to
the formation ofthe Santiago Peak Volcanics (Larsen, 1948). This granitoid bedrock unit is present
in the northeast and southeast comers of the property and is the predominant geologic unit that has
been mined for aggregate on the property. Typically, this bedrock unit outcrops along the eastem or
southeastem boundary ofthe site, or is covered by fill in the central portions of the site. Exploratory
excavations encountered mostly buried intrusive rock that exhibited a variable weathering pattem
ranging from intensely weathered and fractured material near contacts with the overlying
sedimentary rocks, to fresh, extremely strong crystalline rock within quarried areas.
4. GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was encountered in the major lower elevation drainage areas of Buena Vista Creek and
its tributaries at elevations between 70 to 80 feet MSL. Depth of groundwater is subject to
fluctuation from natural seasonal variations. The relationship between alluvial removals and the
position of groundwater table and time of year remedial grading is performed are discussed in the
Conclusions and Recommendations section of this report.
5. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
5.1 Faulting and Seismicity
Review of geologic literature, previous geotechnical reports for the property, and observations during
our current field investigation indicates no active faults traverse the property. One fauU was observed
in Salto Intrusive rock across the quarry slope in the northeast comer of the property. However, an
exploratory trench excavated through the Tertiary Santiago Formation across the fauh confirmed the
fault did not displace the Eocene-age sedimentary unit. As such, the fauh is considered inactive and
not a constraint to the property.
According to the resuhs of the computer program EZ-FRISK (Version 7.62), 8 known active faults
are located within a search radius of 50 miles from the property. The nearest known active fault is
the Newport-Inglewood- Rose Canyon Fauh Zone, located approximately 6 miles east ofthe site and
is the dominant source of potential ground motion. Earthquakes that might occur on the Newport-
Inglewood-Rose Canyon Fault Zone or other fauhs within the southem Califomia and northem Baja
Califomia area are potential generators of significant ground motion at the site. The estimated
deterministic maximum earthquake magnitude and peak ground acceleration for the Newport
Inglewood -Rose Canyon Fault are 7.5 and 0.34 g, respectively.
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 7- May 11, 2012
We used Boore-Atkinson (2008) NGA USGS2008, Campbell-Bozorgnia (2008) NGA USGS 2008,
and Chiou-Youngs (2008) NGA acceleration-attenuation relationships in the calculation of the peak
ground accelerations (PGA). Table 5.1.1 lists the estimated maximum earthquake magnitudes and
PGA's for the most dominant faults for the site location calculated for Site Class D as defined by
Table 1613A.5.3 ofthe 2010 CBC.

We used the computer program EZ-FRISK to perform a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. The
computer program EZ-FRISK operates under the assumption that the occurrence rate of earthquakes
on each mapped Quatemary fauh is proportional to the fault slip rate. The program accounts for
earthquake magnitude as a function of fault rupture length. Site acceleration estimates are made
using the earthquake magnitude and distance from the site to the rupture zone. The program also
accounts for uncertainty in each of following: (1) earthquake magnitude, (2) rapture length for a
given magnitude, (3) location of the rupture zone, (4) maximum possible magnitude of a given
earthquake, and (5) acceleration at the she from a given earthquake along each fault. By calculating
the expected accelerations from considered earthquake sources, the program calculates the total
average annual expected number of occurrences of site acceleration greater than a specified value.
We utilized acceleration-attenuation relationships suggested by Boore-Atkinson (2008) NGA
USGS2008, Campbell-Bozorgnia (2008) NGA USGS 2008, and Chiou-Youngs (2008) in the
analysis. Table 5.1.2 presents the site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard parameters including
acceleration-attenuation relationships and the probability of exceedence for Site Class D.

motion for a 10 percent of probability of exceedence in 50 years based on the average value of
several attenuation relationships. Table 5.1.3 presents the calculated results from the Probabilistic
Seismic Hazards Mapping Ground Motion Page from the CGS website.

While listing peak accelerations is useful for comparison of potential effects of fault activity in a
region, other considerations are important in seismic design, including the frequency and duration of
motion and the soil conditions underlying the site. Seismic design of the structures should be
evaluated in accordance with the Califomia Building Code (CBC) guidelines.
5.2 Liquefaction
Liquefaction analyses were performed during Geocon's 2009 report for reclamation grading. Results
of the analyses indicate alluvial deposits below the groundwater should not liquefy for the design
level acceleration. As the analysis shows liquefaction should not occur, potential impacts associated
with liquefaction such as surface manifestation (sand boils) and lateral spreading are not considered
to be adverse with respect to the proposed development.
5.3 Landslides
Review of 1995 published landslide maps of the Califomia Geological Survey (formerly the Division
of Mines and Geology) and a previous geotechnical report by Ninyo and Moore (August 23, 2000),
Project No. 07135-42-03 May 11,2012
suggested the presence of suspected landslide deposits in the southwest quadrant of the site.
However, observations of intact outcrops and current subsurface investigation confirmed that the
landslide does not exist. Several suspicious surficial landslides are mapped along the south bank of
the creek. These areas were not accessible for subsurface investigation. These potential landslides,
even if confirmed, should not have significant impact on the proposed development.
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 10 - May 11, 2012
6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 General
6.1.1 From a geotechnical engineering standpoint, it is our opinion that the site is suitable for the
proposed development, provided the recommendations presented herein are implemented
in design and constraction of the project.
6.1.2 Soil conditions identified during this study that may impact development include
compressible surficial soils (undocumented fill, alluvium, colluvium, surficial landslide
debris and topsoil) that will require remedial grading. Undocumented fill may contain
large rock fragments that require special placement procedures. Undocumented fill will
remain beyond the limits of reclamation grading that will require removal and
recompaction for support of structural improvements.
6.1.3 The property is approximately 7 miles from the Newport Inglewood/Rose Canyon Fauh. It
is our opinion active and potentially active faults do not extend across or trend toward the
site. Risks associated with seismic activity consist of the potential for strong seismic
shaking. Building setbacks will not be required for the planned development due to
faulting.
6.1.4 Several potential surficial landslides are mapped along the north-facing slope within the
westem portion of the site. Due to the limited access, these areas could not be reached for
subsurface investigation. If encountered during the grading operations, total removal ofthe
slide debris within the grading area is recommended.
6.1.5 Subsurface conditions observed may be extrapolated to reflect general soil/geologic
conditions; however, some variations in subsurface conditions between trench and boring
locations should be anticipated.
6.2 Excavation and Soil Characteristics
6.2.1 Excavation of the Terrace Deposits, Santiago Formation and weathered portion ofthe
Tertiary Volcanics and Salto Intrusive are expected to require a heavy to very heavy effort
to excavate. Less weathered and fresh Salto Intmsive bedrock may require blasting or
specialized rock breaking techniques to efficiently excavate and handle. Very heavy effort
with possible refusal is expected for excavations into the volcanic and intrusive rocks.
Oversize material may be generated which would require special handling or exportation
from the site.
Project No. 0713 5-42-03 - 11 - May 11, 2012
6.2.2 The soil encountered in the field investigation is considered to be "expansive" (expansion
index greater than 20) as defined by 2010 Califomia Building Code (CBC) Section
1802.3.2. Table 6.2 presents soil classifications based on the expansion index. Based on
the results of our laboratory testing, presented in Appendix B, we expect the on-site
materials will possess a "very low" to "very high" expansion potential (Expansion Index of
20 and greater).
TABLE 6.2
EXPANSION CLASSIFICATION BASED ON EXPANSION INDEX
Expansion Index (EI) Expansion Classification
0-20 Very Low
21-50 Low
51-90 Medium
91 - 130 High
Greater Than 130 Very High
6.2.3 We performed laboratory tests on samples of the site materials to evaluate the percentage
of water-soluble sulfate content. Results from the laboratory water-soluble sulfate content
tests are presented in Appendix B and indicate that the on-site materials at the locations
tested possess "negligible" sulfate exposure to concrete stractures as defined by 2010 CBC
Section 1904.3 and ACI 318. The presence of water-soluble sulfates is not a visually
discemible characteristic; therefore, other soil samples from the site could yield different
concentrations. Additionally, over time landscaping activities (i.e., addition of fertilizers
and other soil nutrients) may affect the concentration.
6.2.4 Geocon Incorporated does not practice in the field of corrosion engineering. Therefore,
further evaluation by a corrosion engineer may be performed if improvements that could
be susceptible to corrosion are planned.
6.3 Subdrains
6.3.1 Canyon subdrains are recommended to mitigate the potential for adverse impacts
associated with observed and potential seepage conditions and to collect perched water
that migrates along the contact between natural ground and fill surfaces. Figure 6 presents
a typical canyon subdrain detail. Recommended subdrain locations are depicted on the
Geologic Map, Figures 2 and 3.
Project No. 07135-42-03 12-May 11,2012
6.3.2 The final 20-foot segment of a subdrain should consist of non-perforated drainpipe. At the
non-perforated/perforated interface, a seepage cutoff wall should be constructed on the
downslope side of the junction in accordance with Figure 7. Subdrains that discharge into
a natural drainage course or open space area should be provided with a permanent
headwall stracture in accordance with Figure 8.
6.3.3 Final grading plans should show the location of the proposed subdrains. Upon completion
of remedial excavations and subdrain installation, the project civil engineer should survey
the drain locations and prepare an "as-buih" map depicting the existing conditions. The
final outlet and connection locations should be determined during grading. The grading
contractor may consider videoing the subdrains shortly after burial to check proper
installation and to check that the pipe has not been crushed. As a minimum, we
recommend the subdrain for the buttress fill be videoed. The contractor is responsible for
the performance of the drains.
6.4 Grading
6.4.1 All grading should be performed in accordance with the Recommended Grading
Specifications contained in Appendix D. Where the recommendations of Appendix D
conflict with this section of the report, the recommendations of this section take
precedence.
6.4.2 Prior to commencing grading, a preconstraction conference should be held at the site with
the owner or developer, grading contractor, civil engineer, and geotechnical engineer in
attendance. Special soil handling and/or the grading plans can be discussed at that time.
6.4.3 Grading should be performed in conjunction with the observation and compaction testing
services of Geocon Incorporated. Fill soil should be observed on a full-time basis during
placement and tested to assess in-place dry density and moisture content.
6.4.4 Site preparation should begin with removal of all deleterious material and vegetation. The
depth of removal should be such that material exposed in cut areas or soil to be used for
fill is relatively free of organic matter. Deleterious material generated during stripping
and/or site demolition should be exported from the site.
6.4.5 Undocumented fill, topsoil, colluvium, alluvium and landslide debris within areas of
planned grading should be removed to firm natural ground and properly compacted prior to
placing additional fill and/or stractural loads. The actual extent of unsuitable soil removals
should be determined in the field by the soil engineer and/or engineering geologist. Overly
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 13 - May 11, 2012
wet surficial materials, where encountered, will require drying and/or mixing with drier
soils to facilitate proper compaction.
6.4.6 Alluvium should be removed down to competent formational bedrock or to within
approximately 3 feet of the groundwater table, whichever occurs first. During excavation
of the alluvium, test pits should be periodically excavated to determine groundwater
depths. Special equipment such as swamp cats, excavators, and top loading operations may
be required to excavate the alluvium. Removals at the toe of slopes along the channel
should extend out at a 1:1 plane from the toe to the bottom of the removal. A typical lateral
extent of removal is shown on Figure 9.
6.4.7 Graded areas may expose volcanic/intrusive rock at finish grade. The presence of hard
rock may impact future development. We recommend hard rock be undercut to a depth of
at least 5 feet below finish grade in building pads and 2 feet below utilities and a soil cap
replaced.
6.4.8 After removal of unsuitable material as recommended above, the base of overexcavations
and natural ground surfaces (including previous compacted fill soil) to receive additional
fill should be scarified approximately 12 inches, moisture conditioned, and compacted.
6.4.9 The site should then be brought to final subgrade elevations with stmctural fill compacted
in layers. In general, soils native to the site are suitable for re-use as fill if free from
vegetation, debris and other deleterious material. Layers of fill should be no thicker than
will allow for adequate bonding and compaction. All fill, backfill, and scarified ground
surfaces should be compacted to a dry density of at least 90 percent of maximum dry
density near to slightly above optimum moisture content, as determined in accordance with
ASTM Test Procedure D 1557. Fill areas with in-place density test results indicating
moisture contents less than optimum will require additional moisture conditioning prior to
placing additional fill.
6.4.10 To reduce the potential for differential settlement, it is recommended that the cut portion
of building pads with cut-fill transitions be undercut at least 3 feet and replaced, where
practical, with "very low" to "medium" expansive compacted fill soils.
6.4.11 Cut pads exposing concretions, cemented material, or expansive soil should be undercut at
least 3 feet and replaced with properly compacted "very low" to "medium" expansive soil
to facilitate excavation of foundations and shallow utilities.
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 14 - May 11, 2012
6.4.12 Undercuts (overexcavations) performed on pads with cut-fill transitions, cemented
sandstone, hard rock or expansive soil materials at grade should be undercut at a gradient
of 1 percent toward the street or toward the deepest fill area to provide drainage for
moisture migration along the contact between the native soil and compacted fill.
6.4.13 The on-site soil is suitable to be used as fill if relatively free of debris and organic
material. The depth of removal should be such that dense natural ground is exposed at the
base of the overexcavation.
6.4.14 Grading should be performed such that highly expansive soils are placed in the deeper fill
areas and outside of slope zones. Materials within 3 feet of finish grade on lots and the
upper 12 inches of subgrade within streets, where practical, should consist of very low to
medium expansive soils (soil with an Expansion Index less than 90).
6.4.15 Cut and fill slopes should be constmcted at an inclination of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) or
flatter. An approximately 15 foot high 1.5:1 cut slope in the Saho Intrusive is planned at
the south end of the property, and is considered acceptable. Fill slopes should be
constructed of granular material and compacted out to the face of the finish slope. If
complete removals cannot be performed outside the toe of slopes due to environmentally
sensitive areas, Geocon Incorporated should be consulted to provide recommendations.
6.4.16 Excavations in cemented zones of formational units will likely generate oversize rock
chunks. Oversized materials can be placed in fill areas in accordance with the
recommendations contained within the Recommended Grading Specifications in
Appendix D. Oversize materials (rocks or hard lumps in excess of 12 inches in least
dimension) should be kept at least 10 feet below proposed finish grade within building
pads and at least 2 feet below the deepest utility within street right-of-ways. Modifications
to the hold down depths can be made at the owner's desecration.
6.5 Settlement Monitoring
6.5.1 For the areas where total removal of unsuitable soil has not been practical due to presence
of groundwater settlement monitoring may be required. The need for settlement
monuments will be determined during grading based on the extent of removals that are
performed. A typical settlement monument detail is provided in Figure 10. If settlement
monuments are placed, they should be "as-built" for location by the civil engineer.
Settlement readings (if needed) should be taken weekly until three (3) consecutive
readings showing essentially no movement has occurred.
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 15 - May 11, 2012
6.6 Slope Stability
6.6.1 Slope stability analyses, utilizing average drained direct shear strength parameters, indicate
proposed fill slopes constructed with on-site granular materials and cut slopes within
formational material should have calculated factors of safety of at least 1.5 under static
conditions with respect to both deep-seated failure and shallow sloughing conditions.
Resuhs of the analyses are presented on Figures 11 through 13. Additionally, an
inclination of 1.5 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) is acceptable for slopes excavated into the
Salto Intrusive provided no adverse jointing or fractures exist. All cut slopes should be
observed by a geologist to assess if adverse bedding, jointing, or fractures exist.
6.6.2 There are steep to near vertical cut slopes within the northeast portion of the site. These
slopes were excavated during mining operations. The stability of these slopes should be
evaluated when ultimate grading and use of this area is known. Various options such as lay
back, stability fill or soil nailing/rock bohing may be considered at the time. Altematively,
slope set-backs and rock retention fences can be utilized. For preliminary planning
purposes, we recommend a set-back for site improvements of 20 feet from the toe of slope
in conjunction with the construction of a debris ditch and rock retention fence.
Additionally, we recommend loose rock and accumulated soil on the slope face and at the
top of the slope be removed. The construction of the debris ditch and rock retention fence
should occur during fine grading of the pad once pad usage and improvement locations
have been determined.
6.6.3 The proposed 45 feet high cut slope located at the southwest boundary, adjacent to
Simsbury Court, will be excavated into Terrace Deposits. Our large diameter boring LB-2
encountered materials consisting of interbedded silty sand, cohessionless sand and clay
layers which were occasionally partially remolded. Our analysis indicates that a buttress
fill will be required to provide adequate slope stability. Based on our analysis, the stability
buttress will need to have a minimum width of 30 feet to provide adequate stability. A
typical buttress fill detail is provided in Figure 14. A discussion our stability analysis is
presented in Appendix C.
6.6.4 Excavations including buttresses, shear keys, and stability fills should be observed during
grading by an engineering geologist to evaluate whether soil and geologic conditions do
not differ significantly from those expected. Buttress shear key and associated subdrains
should be surveyed during construction and depicted on the final as-built grading plans.
6.6.5 We performed the slope stability analyses based on the interpretation of geologic
conditions encountered during our field investigation. In certain areas, the geologic
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 16 - May 11, 2012
conditions such as the localized or continuous features of the bedding plane shears may
need to be further defined by additional field exploration based on our review of the
40-scale grading plans.
6.6.6 The outer 15 feet (or a distance equal to the height of the slope, whichever is less) of fill
slopes should be composed of properly compacted granular "soil" fill to reduce the
potential for surficial sloughing. In general, soil with an Expansion Index of less than 90
will be acceptable in the outer slope zone.
6.6.7 Fill slopes should be overbuilt at least 3 feet and cut back to the design finish grades.
Altematively, fill slopes can be compacted by backrolling with a loaded sheepsfoot roller
or tracked walked by sufficiently large equipment at vertical intervals not to exceed 4 feet.
Slope should be uniformly compacted to a dry density of at least 90 percent of the
laboratory maximum dry density to the face of the finished slope.
6.6.8 All slopes should be landscaped with drought-tolerant vegetation having variable root
depths and requiring minimal landscape irrigation. In addition, all slopes should be drained
and properly maintained to reduce erosion. Slope planting should generally consist of
drought tolerant plants having a variable root depth. Slope watering should be kept to a
minimum to just support the plant growth.
6.7 Seismic Design Criteria
6.7.1 We used the computer program Seismic Hazard Curves and Uniform Hazard Response
Spectra, provided by the USGS. Table 6.7 summarizes site-specific design criteria
obtained from the 2010 Califomia Building Code (CBC) (based on the 2009 Intemational
Building Code [IBC]), Chapter 16 Stractural Design, Section 1613 Earthquake Loads. The
short spectral response uses a period of 0.2 second. The building structure and
improvements should be designed using a Site Class D using the criteria set forth in
Section 1613 ofthe 2010 California Building Code.
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 17 - May 11, 2012

6.7.2 Conformance to the criteria in Table 6.7 for seismic design does not constitute any kind of
guarantee or assurance that significant stractural damage or ground failure will not occur if
a maximum level earthquake occurs. The primary goal of seismic design is to protect life
and not to avoid all damage, since such design may be economically prohibitive.
6.8 Foundations
6.8.1 We expect conventional shallow foundations will be suitable for support of new structures.
Foundation recommendations can be provided in update geotechnical reports specific to
planned development and based on as-graded soil conditions in the proposed building area.
A report specific to the bridge will be prepared separately.
6.9 Preliminary Retaining Wall Recommendations
6.9.1 Retaining walls that are allowed to rotate more than 0.00IH (where H equals the height of
the retaining portion of the wall) at the top of the wall and having a level backfill surface
should be designed for an active soil pressure equivalent to the pressure exerted by a fluid
density of 35 pcf. Where the backfill will be inclined at 2:1 (horizontal:vertical), an active
soil pressure of 50 pcf is recommended. Expansive soil should not be used as backfill
material behind retaining walls. Soil placed for retaining wall backfill should have an
Expansion Index less than 50.
6.9.2 Soil contemplated for use as retaining wall backfill, including import materials, should be
identified in the field prior to backfill. At that time, Geocon Incorporated should obtain
Project No. 07135-42-03 May 11,2012
samples for laboratory testing to evaluate its suitability. Modified lateral earth pressures
may be necessary if the backfill soil does not meet the required expansion index or shear
strength. City or regional standard wall designs, if used, are based on a specific active
lateral earth pressure and/or soil friction angle. In this regard, on-site soil to be used as
backfill may or may not meet the values for standard wall designs. Geocon Incorporated
should be consulted to assess the suitability of the on-site soil for use as wall backfill if
standard wall designs will be used.
6.9.3 Where walls are restrained from movement at the top, an additional uniform pressure of
8H psf should be added to the active soil pressure where the wall possesses a height of
8 feet or less and 12H where the wall is greater than 8 feet. For retaining walls subject to
vehicular loads within a horizontal distance equal to two-thirds the wall height, a surcharge
equivalent to 2 feet of fill soil should be added (unit weight 130 pcf).
6.9.4 Retaining walls should be provided with a drainage system adequate to prevent the buildup
of hydrostatic forces and should be waterproofed as required by the project architect. The
use of drainage openings through the base of the wall (weep holes) is not recommended
where the seepage could be a nuisance or otherwise adversely affect the property adjacent
to the base of the wall. The above recommendations assume a properly compacted granular
(EI of less than 50) free-draining backfill material with no hydrostatic forces or imposed
surcharge load. A typical retaining wall drainage detail is presented on Figure 15. If
conditions different than those described are expected, or if specific drainage details are
desired, Geocon Incorporated should be contacted for additional recommendations.
6.9.5 In general, wall foundations having a minimum depth and width of I foot may be designed
for an allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf, provided the soil within 3 feet below
the base of the wall has an Expansion Index of less than 90. The recommended allowable
soil bearing pressures may be increased by 300 psf and 500 psf for each additional foot of
foundation width and depth, respectively, up to a maximum allowable soil bearing pressure
of 4,000 psf The proximity of the foundation to the top of a slope steeper than 3:1 could
impact the allowable soil bearing pressure. Therefore, Geocon Incorporated should be
consulted where such a condition is expected.
6.9.6 The structural engineer should determine the seismic design category for the project and if
retaining walls need to incorporate seismic lateral loads. A seismic load of 15H is
recommended for design. The seismic load is dependent on the retained height where H is
the height of the wall, in feet, and the calculated load in pounds per square foot (psf). The
load should be applied as a triangular distribution with zero load at the top of the wall. The
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 19 - May 11, 2012
seismic load was calculated using a peak site acceleration of 0.3lg (SDS/2.5) and applying
a pseudo-static coefficient of 0.33.
6.9.7 For resistance to lateral loads, an allowable passive earth pressure equivalent to a fluid
density of 300 pcf is recommended for footings or shear keys poured neat against properly
compacted granular fill soils or undisturbed natural soils. The allowable passive pressure
assumes a horizontal surface extending away from the base of the wall at least 5 feet or
three times the surface generating the passive pressure, whichever is greater. The upper
12 inches of material not protected by floor slabs or pavement should not be included in
the design for lateral resistance. An allowable friction coefficient of 0.4 may be used for
resistance to sliding between soil and concrete. This friction coefficient may be combined
with the allowable passive earth pressure when determining resistance to lateral loads.
6.9.8 The recommendations presented above are generally applicable to the design of rigid
concrete or masonry retaining walls having a maximum height of 18 feet. In the event that
walls higher than 18 feet or other types of walls (such as crib or mechanically stabilized
earth-type walls) are planned, Geocon Incorporated should be consulted for additional
recommendations.
6.10 Detention Basin and Bioswale Recommendations
6.10.1 Any detention basins, bioswales and bio-remediation areas should be designed by the
project civil engineer and reviewed by Geocon Incorporated. Typically, bioswales consist
of a surface layer of vegetation underlain by clean sand. A subdrain should be provided
beneath the sand layer. Prior to discharging into the storm drain pipe, a seepage cutoff wall
should be constructed at the interface between the subdrain and storm drain pipe. The
concrete cut-off wall should extend at least 6-inches beyond the perimeter of the gravel-
packed subdrain system.
6.10.2 Distress may be caused to planned improvements and properties located hydrological ly
downstream or adjacent to these devices. The distress depends on the amount of water to
be detained, its residence time, soil permeability, and other factors. We have not
performed a hydrogeology study at the site. Downstream and adjacent properties may be
subjected to seeps, springs, slope instability, raised groundwater, movement of foundations
and slabs, or other impacts as a result of water infiltration. Due to site soil and geologic
conditions, permanent bioswales and bio-remediation areas should be lined with an
impermeable barrier, such as a thick visqueen, to prevent water infiltration in to the
underlying compacted fill. Temporary detention basins in areas where improvements have
not been constracted do not need to be lined.
Project No. 07135-42-03 - 20 - May 11, 2012
6.10.3 The landscape architect should be consulted to provide the appropriate plant
recommendations. If drought resistant plants are not used, irrigation may be required.
6.11 Site Drainage and Moisture Protection
6.11.1 Adequate site drainage is critical to reduce the potential for differential soil movement,
erosion and subsurface seepage. Under no circumstances should water be allowed to pond
adjacent to footings. The site should be graded and maintained such that surface drainage
is directed away from stmctures in accordance with 2010 CBC 1803.3 or other applicable
standards. In addition, surface drainage should be directed away from the top of slopes into
swales or other controlled drainage devices. Roof and pavement drainage should be
directed into conduits that carry runoff away from the proposed structure.
6.11.2 In the case of basement walls or building walls retaining landscaping areas, a water-
proofing system should be used on the wall and joints, and a Miradrain drainage panel (or
similar) should be placed over the waterproofing. The project architect or civil engineer
should provide detailed specifications on the plans for all waterproofing and drainage.
6.11.3 Underground utilities should be leak free. Utility and irrigation lines should be checked
periodically for leaks, and detected leaks should be repaired promptly. Detrimental soil
movement could occur if water is allowed to infiltrate the soil for prolonged periods of
time.
6.11.4 Adequate drainage provisions are imperative. Under no circumstances should water be
allowed to pond adjacent to footings. The building pads should be properly finish graded
after the buildings and other improvements are in place so that drainage water is directed
away from foundations, pavements, concrete slabs, and slope tops to controlled drainage
devices.
Project No. 0713 5-42-03 - 21 - May 11, 2012
LIMITATIONS AND UNIFORMITY OF CONDITIONS
1. The firm that performed the geotechnical investigation for the project should be retained to
provide testing and observation services during construction to provide continuity of
geotechnical interpretation and to check that the recommendations presented for
geotechnical aspects of site development are incorporated during site grading, construction
of improvements, and excavation of foundations. If another geotechnical firm is selected to
perform the testing and observation services during constmction operations, that firm should
prepare a letter indicating their intent to assume the responsibilities of project geotechnical
engineer of record. A copy of the letter should be provided to the regulatory agency for their
records. In addition, that firm should provide revised recommendations conceming the
geotechnical aspects of the proposed development, or a written acknowledgement of their
concurrence with the recommendations presented in our report. They should also perform
additional analyses deemed necessary to assume the role of Geotechnical Engineer of
Record.
2. The recommendations of this report pertain only to the site investigated and are based upon
the assumption that the soil conditions do not deviate from those disclosed in the
investigation. If any variations or undesirable conditions are encountered during
constraction, or if the proposed constraction will differ from that anticipated herein, Geocon
Incorporated should be notified so that supplemental recommendations can be given. The
evaluation or identification of the potential presence of hazardous or corrosive materials was
not part of the scope of services provided by Geocon Incorporated.
3. This report is issued with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the owner or his
representative to ensure that the information and recommendations contained herein are

APPENDIX A
FIELD INVESTIGATION
Fieldwork for our investigation included site visits, subsurface exploration, and soil sampling. The
locations of the exploratory excavations are shown on the Geologic Map, Figure 2. Boring and trench
were mainly excavated within the westem portion of the project site. The logs of the excavations and
an explanation of the geologic units encountered are presented in figures following the text in this
appendix. We located the borings in the field using a measuring tape and existing reference points;
therefore, actual boring locations may deviate slightly.
We performed a field investigation on December 20 and 21,2011, which consisted of drilling five large
diameter exploratory borings to a maximum depth of approximately 56 feet below existing grade with
an EZ Bore 2000 drill rig equipped with a 30-inch-diameter bucket auger. We obtained bulk and ring
samples from the exploratory borings for future laboratory testing.
We have also excavated 22 exploratory trenches to help mapping the surficial soils by using a John
Deer 450 trackhoe. Bulk samples and relatively undisturbed chunk samples of prevailing soils were
obtained for laboratory testing.
As part of our previous study of the project site, Geocon had excavated 6 small diameter borings in the
westem portion of the site. The results were reported in 2004 (See list of references). We have included
the boring logs herein.
We obtained samples during our boring excavations using a Califomia Sampler. The Califomia
sampler is composed of steel and is driven to obtain the soil ring samples. The California sampler has
an inside diameter of 2.5 inches and an outside diameter of 2.875 inches. Up to 18 rings that are 2.4
inches in diameter and 1 inch in height are placed inside the sampler. We retained ring samples at
appropriate intervals in moisture-tight containers and transported the samples to the laboratory for
testing. We also obtained bulk samples from the borings for laboratory testing. The type of sample is
noted on the exploratory boring logs.
The Modified Califomia Sampler was driven 12 inches into the bottom of the excavations with the
use of the kelly bar and driven into the bottom of the excavation using the kelly bar ( weight ranging
from approximately 4,500 to 2,500 pound) with a 12-inch drop. Blow counts are recorded. The
penetration resistances shown on the boring logs are shown in terms of blows per foot. The blow
count values are not to be taken as N-values as adjustments have not been applied. We estimated
Project No. 07135-42-03 -A-1- May 11,2012
elevations shown on the boring logs either from a topographic map or by using a benchmark. Each
excavation was backfilled as noted on the boring logs.
We visually examined the soil conditions encountered within the borings, classified, and logged in
general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Logs of the borings are
presented on Figures A-1 through A-33. The logs depict the general soil and geologic conditions
encountered and the depth at which we obtained the samples.

LABORATORY TESTING
We performed the laboratory tests in accordance with the current versions of the generally accepted
American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) procedures or other suggested procedures. We tested
selected soil samples for their in-place density and moisture content, maximum dry density and
optimum moisture content, shear strength, expansion index, and water-soluble sulfate characteristics.
The results of our laboratory tests are presented on Tables B-I through B-IV and on the boring logs in
Appendix A.

SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSES
We performed the slope stability analyses using the two-dimensional computer software GeoStudio2007
developed by Geo-Slope Intemational Ltd. We analyzed the critical modes of potential slip surfaces
including rotational-mode and block-mode based on Spencer's method. The soil parameters used, case
conditions, and the calculated factors of safety are presented herein. Plots of analyses' results, including
the soil stratigraphy, potential failure surfaces, and calculated factors of safety, are attached within this
appendix.
We estimated the shear strength characteristics of the existing geologic units based on laboratory direct
shear tests on samples obtained during our field investigation in accordance with ASTM D 3080 (see
Appendix B). The soil parameters used for the stability analyses were presented in Table C-I.
TABLE C-I
SUMMARY OF SOIL PROPERTIES USED FOR SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSES
Geologic Unit/Material Density (pcf) Cohesion (psf) Friction Angle (degrees)
Sandy Layer 130 100 35
Clay Layer 125 200 10
Compacted Fill (Qcf) 125 300 30
We used Cross Section B-B' to perform the slope stability analyses. Table C-II provides a summary of
cases analyzed and calculated factors of safety. The case conditions, including the assumed buttresses,
are also indicated in the table. A minimum factor of safety of 1.5 under static conditions is currently
required by the City of Carlsbad for slope stability. Results of slope stability analyses are plotted on
Figures C-1 through C-3.

APPENDIX D
RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS
FOR
QUARRY CREEK II
CARLSBAD/OCEANSIDE, CALIFORNIA
PROJECT NO. 07135-42-03
RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS
1. GENERAL
1.1 These Recommended Grading Specifications shall be used in conjunction with the
Geotechnical Report for the project prepared by Geocon Incorporated. The
recommendations contained in the text of the Geotechnical Report are a part of the
earthwork and grading specifications and shall supersede the provisions contained
hereinafter in the case of conflict.
1.2 Prior to the commencement of grading, a geotechnical consultant (Consultant) shall be
employed for the purpose of observing earthwork procedures and testing the fills for
substantial conformance with the recommendations of the Geotechnical Report and these
specifications. The Consultant should provide adequate testing and observation services so
that they may assess whether, in their opinion, the work was performed in substantial
conformance with these specifications. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to
assist the Consultant and keep them apprised of work schedules and changes so that
personnel may be scheduled accordingly.
1.3 It shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor to provide adequate equipment and
methods to accomplish the work in accordance with applicable grading codes or agency
ordinances, these specifications and the approved grading plans. If, in the opinion of the
Consultant, unsatisfactory conditions such as questionable soil materials, poor moisture
condition, inadequate compaction, adverse weather, result in a quality of work not in
conformance with these specifications, the Consultant will be empowered to reject the
work and recommend to the Owner that grading be stopped until the unacceptable
conditions are corrected.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1 Owner shall refer to the owner of the property or the entity on whose behalf the grading
work is being performed and who has contracted with the Contractor to have grading
performed.
2.2 Contractor shall refer to the Contractor performing the site grading work.
2.3 Civil Engineer or Engineer of Work shall refer to the Califomia licensed-Civil Engineer
or consulting firm responsible for preparation of the grading plans, surveying and verifying
as-graded topography.
01 rev. 04/2009
2.4 Consultant shall refer to the soil engineering and engineering geology consulting firm
retained to provide geotechnical services for the project.
2.5 Soil Engineer shall refer to a California licensed Civil Engineer retained by the Owner,
who is experienced in the practice of geotechnical engineering. The Soil Engineer shall be
responsible for having qualified representatives on-site to observe and test the Contractor's
work for conformance with these specifications.
2.6 Engineering Geologist shall refer to a California licensed Engineering Geologist retained
by the Owner to provide geologic observations and recommendations during the site
grading.
2.7 Geotechnical Report shall refer to a soil report (including all addenda) which may include
a geologic reconnaissance or geologic investigation that was prepared specifically for the
development of the project for which these Recommended Grading Specifications are
intended to apply.
3. MATERIALS
3.1 Materials for compacted fill shall consist of any soil excavated fi-om the cut areas or
imported to the site that, in the opinion of the Consultant, is suitable for use in construction
of fills. In general, fill materials can be classified as soil fills, soil-rock fills or rock fills, as
defined below.
3.1.1 Soil fills are defined as fills containing no rocks or hard lumps greater than 12
inches in maximum dimension and containing at least 40 percent by weight of
material smaller than % inch in size.
3.1.2 Soil-rock fills are defined as fills containing no rocks or hard lumps larger than 4
feet in maximum dimension and containing a sufficient matrix of soil fill to allow
for proper compaction of soil fill around the rock fi-agments or hard lumps as
specified in Paragraph 6.2. Oversize rock is defined as material greater than 12
inches.
3.1.3 Rock fills are defined as fills containing no rocks or hard lumps larger than 3 feet
in maximum dimension and containing little or no fines. Fines are defined as
material smaller than Vi inch in maximum dimension. The quantity of fines shall be
less than approximately 20 percent of the rock fill quantity.
01 rev. 04/2009
3.2 Material of a perishable, spongy, or otherwise unsuitable nature as determined by the
Consultant shall not be used in fills.
3.3 Materials used for fill, either imported or on-site, shall not contain hazardous materials as
defined by the Califomia Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4, Chapter 30, Articles 9
and 10; 40CFR; and any other applicable local, state or federal laws. The Consultant shall
not be responsible for the identification or analysis of the potential presence of hazardous
materials. However, if observations, odors or soil discoloration cause Consultant to suspect
the presence of hazardous materials, the Consultant may request irom the Owner the
termination of grading operations within the affected area. Prior to resuming grading
operations, the Owner shall provide a written report to the Consultant indicating that the
suspected materials are not hazardous as defined by applicable laws and regulations.
3.4 The outer 15 feet of soil-rock fill slopes, measured horizontally, should be composed of
properly compacted soil fill materials approved by the Consultant. Rock fill may extend to
the slope face, provided that the slope is not steeper than 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) and a soil
layer no thicker than 12 inches is track-walked onto the face for landscaping purposes. This
procedure may be utilized provided it is acceptable to the goveming agency, Owner and
Consultant.
3.5 Samples of soil materials to be used for fill should be tested in the laboratory by the
Consultant to determine the maximum density, optimum moisture content, and, where
appropriate, shear strength, expansion, and gradation characteristics ofthe soil.
3.6 During grading, soil or groundwater conditions other than those identified in the
Geotechnical Report may be encountered by the Contractor. The Consultant shall be
notified immediately to evaluate the significance of the unanticipated condition
4. CLEARING AND PREPARING AREAS TO BE FILLED
4.1 Areas to be excavated and filled shall be cleared and gmbbed. Clearing shall consist of
complete removal above the ground surface of trees, stumps, bmsh, vegetation, man-made
stmctures, and similar debris. Gmbbing shall consist of removal of stumps, roots, buried
logs and other unsuitable material and shall be performed in areas to be graded. Roots and
other projections exceeding 1 'A inches in diameter shall be removed to a depth of 3 feet
below the surface of the ground. Borrow areas shall be gmbbed to the extent necessary to
provide suitable fill materials.
01 rev. 04/2009
4.2 Any asphalt pavement material removed during clearing operations should be properly
disposed at an approved off-site facility. Concrete fi-agments that are free of reinforcing
steel may be placed in fills, provided they are placed in accordance with Secfion 6.2 or 6.3
of this document.
4.3 After clearing and grubbing of organic matter and other unsuitable material, loose or
porous soils shall be removed to the depth recommended in the Geotechnical Report. The
depth of removal and compaction should be observed and approved by a representative of
the Consultant. The exposed surface shall then be plowed or scarified to a minimum depth
of 6 inches and until the surface is fi-ee from uneven features that would tend to prevent
uniform compaction by the equipment to be used.
4.4 Where the slope ratio of the original ground is steeper than 5:1 (horizontal:vertical), or
where recommended by the Consultant, the original ground should be benched in
accordance with the following illustration.

Key width "B" should be a minimum of 10 feet, or sufficiently wide to permit
complete coverage with the compaction equipment used. The base of the key should
be graded horizontal, or inclined slightly into the natural slope.
The outside of the key should be below the topsoil or unsuitable surficial material
and at least 2 feet into dense formational material. Where hard rock is exposed in the
bottom of the key, the depth and configuration of the key may be modified as
approved by the Consultant.
GI rev. 04/2009
4.5 After areas to receive fill have been cleared and scarified, the surface should be moisture
conditioned to achieve the proper moisture content, and compacted as recommended in
Section 6 of these specifications.
5. COMPACTION EQUIPMENT
5.1 Compaction of soil or soil-rock fill shall be accomplished by sheepsfoot or segmented-steel
wheeled rollers, vibratory rollers, muUiple-wheel pneumatic-tired rollers, or other types of
acceptable compaction equipment. Equipment shall be of such a design that it will be
capable of compacting the soil or soil-rock fill to the specified relative compaction at the
specified moisture content.
5.2 Compaction of rock fills shall be performed in accordance with Section 6.3.
6. PLACING, SPREADING AND COMPACTION OF FILL MATERIAL
6.1 Soil fill, as defined in Paragraph 3.1.1, shall be placed by the Contractor in accordance with
the following recommendations:
6.1.1 Soil fill shall be placed by the Contractor in layers that, when compacted, should
generally not exceed 8 inches. Each layer shall be spread evenly and shall be
thoroughly mixed during spreading to obtain uniformity of material and moisture
in each layer. The entire fill shall be constmcted as a unit in nearly level lifts. Rock
materials greater than 12 inches in maximum dimension shall be placed in
accordance with Section 6.2 or 6.3 of these specifications.
6.1.2 In general, the soil fill shall be compacted at a moisture content at or above the
optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D 1557-02.
6.1.3 When the moisture content of soil fill is below that specified by the Consultant,
water shall be added by the Contractor until the moisture content is in the range
specified.
6.1.4 When the moisture content of the soil fill is above the range specified by the
Consultant or too wet to achieve proper compaction, the soil fill shall be aerated by
the Contractor by blading/mixing, or other satisfactory methods until the moisture
content is within the range specified.
01 rev. 04/2009
6.1.5 After each layer has been placed, mixed, and spread evenly, it shall be thoroughly
compacted by the Contractor to a relative compaction of at least 90 percent.
Relative compaction is defined as the ratio (expressed in percent) of the in-place
dry density of the compacted fill to the maximum laboratory dry density as
determined in accordance with ASTM D 1557-02. Compaction shall be continuous
over the entire area, and compaction equipment shall make sufficient passes so that
the specified minimum relative compaction has been achieved throughout the
entire fill.
6.1.6 Where practical, soils having an Expansion Index greater than 50 should be placed
at least 3 feet below finish pad grade and should be compacted at a moisture
content generally 2 to 4 percent greater than the optimum moisture content for the
material.
6.1.7 Properly compacted soil fill shall extend to the design surface of fill slopes. To
achieve proper compaction, it is recommended that fill slopes be over-built by at
least 3 feet and then cut to the design grade. This procedure is considered
preferable to track-walking of slopes, as described in the following paragraph.
6.1.8 As an alternative to over-building of slopes, slope faces may be back-rolled with a
heavy-duty loaded sheepsfoot or vibratory roller at maximum 4-foot fill height
intervals. Upon completion, slopes should then be track-walked with a D-8 dozer
or similar equipment, such that a dozer track covers all slope surfaces at least
twice.
6.2 Soil-rock fill, as defined in Paragraph 3.1.2, shall be placed by the Contractor in accordance
with the following recommendations:
6.2.1 Rocks larger than 12 inches but less than 4 feet in maximum dimension may be
incorporated into the compacted soil fill, but shall be limited to the area measured
15 feet minimum horizontally fi-om the slope face and 5 feet below finish grade or
3 feet below the deepest utility, whichever is deeper.
6.2.2 Rocks or rock fi-agments up to 4 feet in maximum dimension may either be
individually placed or placed in windrows. Under certain conditions, rocks or rock
fragments up to 10 feet in maximum dimension may be placed using similar
methods. The acceptability of placing rock materials greater than 4 feet in
maximum dimension shall be evaluated during grading as specific cases arise and
shall be approved by the Consultant prior to placement.
GI rev. 04/2009
6.2.3 For individual placement, sufficient space shall be provided between rocks to allow
for passage of compaction equipment.
6.2.4 For windrow placement, the rocks should be placed in trenches excavated in
properly compacted soil fill. Trenches should be approximately 5 feet wide and
4 feet deep in maximum dimension. The voids around and beneath rocks should be
filled with approved granular soil having a Sand Equivalent of 30 or greater and
should be compacted by flooding. Windrows may also be placed utilizing an
"open-face" method in lieu of the trench procedure, however, this method should
first be approved by the Consultant.
6.2.5 Windrows should generally be parallel to each other and may be placed either
parallel to or perpendicular to the face of the slope depending on the site geometry.
The minimum horizontal spacing for windrows shall be 12 feet center-to-center
with a 5-foot stagger or offset from lower courses to next overlying course. The
minimum vertical spacing between windrow courses shall be 2 feet from the top of
a lower windrow to the bottom of the next higher windrow.
6.2.6 Rock placement, fill placement and flooding of approved granular soil in the
windrows should be continuously observed by the Consultant.
6.3 Rock fills, as defined in Section 3.1.3, shall be placed by the Contractor in accordance with
the following recommendations:
6.3.1 The base of the rock fill shall be placed on a sloping surface (minimum slope of 2
percent). The surface shall slope toward suitable subdrainage outlet facilities. The
rock fills shall be provided with subdrains during construction so that a hydrostatic
pressure buildup does not develop. The subdrains shall be permanently connected
to controlled drainage facilities to control post-constmction infiltration of water.
6.3.2 Rock fills shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 3 feet. Placement shall be by rock
tmcks traversing previously placed lifts and dumping at the edge of the currently
placed lift. Spreading of the rock fill shall be by dozer to facilitate seating of the
rock. The rock fill shall be watered heavily during placement. Watering shall
consist of water tmcks traversing in front of the current rock lift face and spraying
water continuously during rock placement. Compaction equipment with
compactive energy comparable to or greater than that of a 20-ton steel vibratory
roller or other compaction equipment providing suitable energy to achieve the
GI rev. 04/2009
required compaction or deflection as recommended in Paragraph 6.3.3 shall be
utilized. The number of passes to be made should be determined as described in
Paragraph 6.3.3. Once a rock fill lift has been covered with soil fill, no additional
rock fill lifts will be permitted over the soil fill.
6.3.3 Plate bearing tests, in accordance with ASTM D 1196-93, may be performed in
both the compacted soil fill and in the rock fill to aid in determining the required
minimum number of passes of the compaction equipment. If performed, a
minimum of three plate bearing tests should be performed in the properly
compacted soil fill (minimum relative compaction of 90 percent). Plate bearing
tests shall then be performed on areas of rock fill having two passes, four passes
and six passes of the compaction equipment, respectively. The number of passes
required for the rock fill shall be determined by comparing the results of the plate
bearing tests for the soil fill and the rock fill and by evaluating the deflection
variation with number of passes. The required number of passes of the compaction
equipment will be performed as necessary until the plate bearing deflections are
equal to or less than that determined for the properly compacted soil fill. In no case
will the required number of passes be less than two.
6.3.4 A representative of the Consultant should be present during rock fill operations to
observe that the minimum number of "passes" have been obtained, that water is
being properly applied and that specified procedures are being followed. The actual
number of plate bearing tests will be determined by the Consultant during grading.
6.3.5 Test pits shall be excavated by the Contractor so that the Consultant can state that,
in their opinion, sufficient water is present and that voids between large rocks are
properly filled with smaller rock material. In-place density testing will not be
required in the rock fills.
6.3.6 To reduce the potential for "piping" of fines into the rock fill from overlying soil
fill material, a 2-foot layer of graded filter material shall be placed above the
uppermost lift of rock fill. The need to place graded filter material below the rock
should be determined by the Consultant prior to commencing grading. The
gradation of the graded filter material will be determined at the time the rock fill is
being excavated. Materials typical of the rock fill should be submitted to the
Consultant in a timely manner, to allow design of the graded fdter prior to the
commencement of rock fill placement.
6.3.7 Rock fill placement should be continuously observed during placement by the
Consultant.
01 rev. 04/2009
7. OBSERVATION AND TESTING
7.1 The Consultant shall be the Owner's representative to observe and perform tests during
clearing, grubbing, filling, and compaction operations. In general, no more than 2 feet in
vertical elevation of soil or soil-rock fill should be placed without at least one field density
test being performed within that interval. In addition, a minimum of one field density test
should be performed for every 2,000 cubic yards of soil or soil-rock fill placed and
compacted.
7.2 The Consultant should perform a sufficient distribution of field density tests of the
compacted soil or soil-rock fill to provide a basis for expressing an opinion whether the fill
material is compacted as specified. Density tests shall be performed in the compacted
materials below any disturbed surface. When these tests indicate that the density of any
layer of fill or portion thereof is below that specified, the particular layer or areas
represented by the test shall be reworked until the specified density has been achieved.
7.3 During placement of rock fill, the Consultant should observe that the minimum number of
passes have been obtained per the criteria discussed in Section 6.3.3. The Consultant
should request the excavation of observation pits and may perform plate bearing tests on
the placed rock fills. The observation pits will be excavated to provide a basis for
expressing an opinion as to whether the rock fill is properly seated and sufficient moisture
has been applied to the material. When observations indicate that a layer of rock fill or any
portion thereof is below that specified, the affected layer or area shall be reworked until the
rock fill has been adequately seated and sufficient moisture applied.
7.4 A settlement monitoring program designed by the Consultant may be conducted in areas of
rock fill placement. The specific design of the monitoring program shall be as
recommended in the Conclusions and Recommendations section of the project
Geotechnical Report or in the final report of testing and observation services performed
during grading.
7.5 The Consultant should observe the placement of subdrains, to verify that the drainage
devices have been placed and constmcted in substantial confonnance with project
specifications.
7.6 Testing procedures shall conform to the following Standards as appropriate:
01 rev. 04/2009
7.6.1 Soil and Soil-Rock Fills:
7.6.1.1 Field Density Test, ASTM D 1556-02, Density of Soil In-Place By the

Flexible Pavement Components, For Use in Evaluation and Design of
Airport and Highway Pavements.
8. PROTECTION OF WORK
8.1 During construction, the Contractor shall properly grade all excavated surfaces to provide
positive drainage and prevent ponding of water. Drainage of surface water shall be
controlled to avoid damage to adjoining properties or to finished work on the site. The
Contractor shall take remedial measures to prevent erosion of freshly graded areas until
such time as permanent drainage and erosion control features have been installed. Areas
subjected to erosion or sedimentation shall be properly prepared in accordance with the
Specificafions prior to placing additional fill or stmctures.
8.2 After completion of grading as observed and tested by the Consultant, no further
excavation or filling shall be conducted except in conjuncfion with the services of the
Consultant.
01 rev. 04/2009
9. CERTIFICATIONS AND FINAL REPORTS
9.1 Upon completion of the work. Contractor shall fumish Owner a certification by the Civil
Engineer stating that the lots and/or building pads are graded to within 0.1 foot vertically of
elevations shown on the grading plan and that all tops and toes of slopes are within 0.5 foot
horizontally of the positions shown on the grading plans. After installation of a section of
subdrain, the project Civil Engineer should survey its location and prepare an as-built plan
of the subdrain location. The project Civil Engineer should verify the proper outlet for the
subdrains and the Contractor should ensure that the drain system is free of obstmctions.
9.2 The Owner is responsible for fumishing a final as-graded soil and geologic report
satisfactory to the appropriate goveming or accepting agencies. The as-graded report
should be prepared and signed by a Califomia licensed Civil Engineer experienced in
geotechnical engineering and by a Califomia Certified Engineering Geologist, indicating
that the geotechnical aspects of the grading were performed in substantial conformance
with the Specifications or approved changes to the Specifications.
