This f,inal geologic report for the subj ect tract is submitted in accordance with the requ,irements
of the City of Carlsbad. Geologic data are plotted on the plan included with the companion
Project Grading Report.
A buttres~ fill was requ,ired for support of the cut slope at the rear (east) of Lot 23. Based on
our inspection of geologic conditions of the site, the subject lots are satisfactory for the
intended use from a geologic point of view.

This report presents soi I engi neering data and test ~esults pertaining to the placement of
compacted earth fill on the subject property. Foundation criteria are also included in
this report for the subject residential Lots 20 -28 inclusi've. to be utilized as the Model
Complex for the subject tract. '
All fills, cuts or processing of original ground under the purview of this report has been
completed under our inspection or accepted by this firm, and are in compHance with
F.H.A. criteria and the Grading Code of the City of Carlsbad, California. AIIW9rk

Completed work has been reviewed and is considered suitable for the construction now planned.
All slopes are considered grossly and surfiCially stable and will remain so under normal conditions.
Compaction test results are presented in Table I, al1d approximat-~ locations of tests are shown
oli the enClosed grading plan (1 sheet). Also shown on the plan are locations of tests taken
in adjacent areas. These test results will be submitted in future grading reports, as these
areas are comp' eted.

1. Prior to the-placement of compacted fill, the exposed natural surface was scarifi'ed,
watered as necessary and compacted in-place, suitable to receive fill. Where
necessary, alluvial materials in canyon swale bottoms were removed to either in-
place bedrock~ or competent natural soil.
2. Fill consisting of the above soils types was then placed in thin lifts, watered as necessary
and compacted in-place to a minimum of 90 percent of the laboratory standard utilizing

tractor-drawn sheepsfoot type rollers and heavy earth moving equipment. Each fiJI was I "
treated in a like manner.
3. Fill placed on slope gradients steeper than 5-horizontal to 1-vertical was keyed and
benched into bedrock. The upper soils were stripped and/or benched out on the
shallower slopes in such a manner that all compa<:ted fill is in contact with intact
bedrock or competent soils.
4. All removals and excavating for canyon cleanou~s, and processing in preparing fill areas
·were inspected and .approved by this firm1s representative prior to placement of any fill.
5. Compaction tests were taken for each one to two feet of fill placed. The maximum
vertical depth ·of fill placed in on the order of 41 feet on Lot 26 •
6. It has been determined during grading that the cut portion of the fill over cut $Iop? below
(sol:Jth) Lot 25 will require "overexcavation and stabil'ization due to unsl,Jitabl e material.
The completion of this work should have no detrimental effects upon the sl,Jbject model
lots. This stabilization will be reported in a future grading report.
7. Based upon preliminary investigation and geologic. inspection during grading, a lS-foot
base width compacted buttress fill was recommended and constructed for support of the
proposed cut at the rear (east) of Lot 23. The location and approximate limits of this
stabilization fill is shown on the enclosed plan.

8. The cut portion of the transitional lot was overexcavated to a depth of 3D-inches and
replaced as a compacted fill to provide uniform bearing conditions. This was accomplished
on Lot 23 as i'ndicated with a "C" on the enclosed plan.
9. Fill slopes were backrolled as they were brought to grade at approximate four-foot
intervals. At the completion of fiJI placement, the slope was uniformly compacted
by track-rolling and finished by cutting and trimming back to the compacted core.
Slope tests were made after completion of frimming. All slope densification has been
completed and the slopes are considered stable under normal conditions.
10. Materials encountered in cut and utilized for compacted fill ranged from non to slightly
expansive in nature.
A 10t-by-lot evaluation of the soil conditions were conducted, with all the subject
residential lots being considered to be very low in expansion potential; accordi'ng
'to Table 29-C of the 1973 Uniform Building Code. Results of these expansion tests
are as follows:

11. The following criteria should be used in foundation design for the residential lots •.
a) The recommended bearing value for both the inferior and exterior fa<;>tings is
1500 Ibs./sq.ft. having a minimum embedment depth of 12-inches and having
a minimum width of 12-inches.
b) "A lateral bearing value of 300 Ibs./sq.ft. per foot of depth of a maximum of
1500 Ibs./sq.ft may be utilized. A lateral sliding coefficient of 0.40 may be
used in design.
The above values may be increased one-third for short duration loads such as
se·ismic and wind loads .•
12. Footing and slab-on -grade reinforcement criteria
A Summary of foundation req·uirementsis presented on Plate A.
All t~e subject lots are considered to be non-e~parisive (very low) in nature and the
following criteria should be used for design.
a) Exterior footings for two-story structures shall have a minimum embedment of
~
/18 .inches below grade.
Interior foot·ings for two-story structures and.all footings for a single-story
structure snail have a minimum embedment of 12 inches below grade. Spread
or isolated footings may be used.
All continuous footings shall be reinforced wifh two No.4 bars, one placed
