+PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Page 2
$ Jt is proposed to construct single-family residential lot pads and four (4) tennis courts by cut
,- t g and fiff grading techniques. A portion of the site, adjacent to El Camino Real and Alga Road
^i . - ,(notiheast corner) may feasibly be developed for commercial use.
5 -B&h cut and compacted fill slopes are programmed at 2:l. Minor grading has been done in
- -.eonjunction with access roads that traverse the property at various locations. Fill slopes
descend onto thesite at several locations along El Camino Real.
SITE CONDITIONS --1
* * ,. - ‘_
The site is bounded on the north by the proposed westerly extension of Alga Road, on the -
east by EI,Camino Real and on the south and west by undeveloped property. ,. ‘._

The property is of irregular configuration and consists of approximately 120-acres of rolling
_- ; * hills. The maximum relief is on the order of 180-nfeet. >

y GEOLOGY . f
Delmar Formation : . .
The Delmar Formation consists chiefly of interbedded gray buff, coarse-grained, friable sand-
stone, gray-brown, dense silty sandstone and gmy-brown clayey siltstone with occasional
conglomerate beds. These rock materials are exposed in several existing cut slopes and canyon
outcrops and were revealed in the trenches.
The light colored, friable, coarse sandstone varies from loose to moderately dense and may
-
be expected to erode easily in excavated slopes. Stringers of silty clay in the siltstone unit
appear expansive. Wh ere these clay beds crop out, they swell und appear to dessicate rapidly,
In cut slopes and pads, this material may generate slope stability and expansive problems.
Beds dip at low angles and are gently folded over most of the tract, making predictions of
-
I specific attitudes in slopes difficult. Bedding along El Camino Real, however, is quite dis-
‘/ E tinct. A fold is shown on the plan parallel with El Camino Real, which may effect the stability
f of that west-facing cut slope. $

g
5 $ Terrace Deposits
$ r: These clayey sands and gmvels will be graded from the higher elevations and placed as fills,
w j: F according to the accompanying grading plan. They should be easily excavatable. No bed- fl -” c ding was noted in the Terrace Deposits. Dips in that unit, if any, should be flat.

bradslides *
.-NO major landslides were observed on the site. An occasional surficial slump was noted.
Alluvium
Alluvia1 materials are loose, dry, silty sands occurring as narrow deposits in the lower canyons.
, -DlSCUSS ION
General
The site is suited to the type of development proposed. Geologic conditions appear to be gen-
e&y favomble and no maior landslides or sh~mps that adversely effect the property were’noted.
No excessive d. p&s of ia\v density soils were encountered in the canyon areas.
.
The subsurFace soils and bedrock materials were for the most part found to be damp to moist to
the depths penetrated. Seepage was not encountered in any of the test excavations and in our
-+nZon, at this time, subdr~~ins beneath compacted fills wilJ not be required. Ground water
wos encountered in the ex$omtary boring, however, it should not effect the proposed develop-
: menf .
The bedrock materials range from medium dense to dense to the depths explored, and should
be easily terraced and excavated with convenGona1 grading equipment. Light to medium rip-
-Phg May be anticipafed in the deeper cut areas, Ail excavated materials will be suitable for
use as cuqacted fill,

Existing Fills *
Existing fills are present in a number of areas at the project site. These fills are associated
with road fill placed for the development of the existing access roads and peripheral street
systems. In these areas, the fill on the slope surface appears loose and future fill will need
to.be benched end keyed into competent material. Other areas of existing fill will require
removal as directed by the project soil engineer.
Slope Stability
Cut and fill slopes are planned at two (2) horizontal to one (1) vertical ratios.. The maximum
vertical heights that are shown on the plans are 37-feet for cut slopes and 33-feet for fill slopes.
A swedish circle slope stability analysis was performed for a 47-foot high, 2:l slope utilizing
shear strength parameters for typical compacted fill. The results indicate that the slopes, as ’

to or exceed these of fill, thus indicating gross cut slope stabiIity.(See Plates E-l thru E-13)

-Bearing Capacity , .
ne ultimate bearing copocity was determined util’zing the most critical remolded shear strength
&amcteristics. The calculations are presented on Plate C. The calculations indicate the soils
and bedrock in a compact natural stateor when properly placed as compacted fill, Gill have
adequate bearing &pa&y to suppti residential structures. .
Expansion Characteristics .-
The test data presented in Table 11, indicates that the majority of the soils and bedrock encoun-
tered on the property are nonexpansive in nature. The materials varied from nonexpansive to
moderately expansive. Some cut lots may expose expansive bedrock that may be advantageous
-to averexcavate and replace with compacted fill.
;
Miiing of these materials during grading opemtion; would probably result in a soil possessing
a nonexpansive to slightly expansive potential.

The pn&ing criteria should be reviewed and may be modified based upon tests during and
at the conclusion of grading operations. Unless selective grading is utilized, some expansive
lots should be anticipated.
Settlement Considerations
The subject property contains varying earth materials, consisting of moderately dense soil and
alluvium, and moderately dense to dense alluvium, and bedrock.
The alluvial soil encountered onsite is both granular and fine-grained in nature. The amount
of settlement should be at a minimum as the materials tested exhibited a low volume change
under consolidation tests and showed little or no adverse effect due to moisture content varia-
tion. However, assuming critical boundary conditions and one (1) month as the time to place
the compacted fill to the proposed grade, all settlement will take place during grading and
approximately 30-days thereafter.
r Generally speaking, the upper soils, and alluvium in the canyons were found to be unsuitable
in their existing condition to receive filf . Therefore, they should be removed down to firm
competent soil or bedrock prior to placement of com&cted fills. The estimated removal depths
are on the order of one (1) fo four (4) feet.
rJ
Shrinkage and Subsidence Factors
It is anticipated that the upper soils and alluvium, over the site when reused as compacted fill,
will shrink on the order of eight (8) to 14 percent, No significant volume change is expected
of bedrock excavated and recompacted as fill.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS .
.&,ed upon the field investigation, laboratory testing and analyses, the review of the enclosed
ptan, the following conclusions and recommendations are presented:
1. In general, uniform and predictable conditions were encountered in the exploratory
excavations throughout the site. In our opinion, the site is suitable for t

2. Bedrock underlying the tract consist of sandstone and interbedded siltstone which have
-been assigned to the Eocene Delmar Formation. Surficial deposits include man-placed.
fill, natural soil, and alluvium. Our field invesfigtifion indicates these rocks and soils
should be readily excavated utilizing normal grading techniques.
3. The following general recommendations concerning cut slopes are presented.
U. Proposed cut slopes which are oriented in the same direction and are steeper
than the underiying geologic structure will require remedial stabifization in
the form of stabilization or buttress fills.
b. Proposed cut slopes which intersect uncemented sandstones may require
.&biIization.
C. Proposed cut slopes which intersect soil, alluvium or other uncemented material
determined by the project engineering geologist to be unsuitable in cut slopes,
showld be overexcavated and replaced with a minimum 15-foot wide compacted

Based on the results of our investigation, subdrainage systems are not considered neces-
sa’y for the canyon areas.
Existing fills were demoted onsite. The approximate limits of fie existing f?Jlr are
indicated on the enclosed ptan,
The onsite fills were generally associated with fiJJ placed for street construction, Com-
pacted fill placed for the proposed development will need to be keyed and benched into
the existing fiJJ os far as possibJe without creating a hazard to the equipment operators
and the superjacent street or property.
The greatest extent of existing fill is located along EJ Cumino Real in Tract No, I, in

Design
1. Based upon the attached slope stability calculations; two (2) horizontal to one (1) ver-
tical fill slopes and cut slopes with favorable geology, may be considered stable as
progrummed to the heights indicated on the plan.
2. The cut portions of the lot pads traversed by cut-fill daylight lines, should be over-
excavated 30-inches and replaced with a compacted blanket fill.
The blanket fill for transition lots as well as blanket fills above stabilization fills will
need to utilizc the more cohesive material available at the time of grading.
Based on the plan review, approximately 130 to 150 lots may require capping. They
are called out on a lot-by-lot basis for each unit as follows: I

APPENDIX
A. Field Investigation
Twenty (23) t renches were made to depths ranging from five (5) to 12-feet using a rubber-
-tired backhoe with a 24-inch bucket. In addition, one (I) exploratory boring was made
using a rotary bucket drilling rig, with a 24-inch diameter bucket. Undisturbed samples
for detailed testing in our laboratory were obtained by pushing or driving (I sampling
spoon into the material. A split barrel iype spoon was used, having an inside diameter
of two and one-half (2.5) inches, with a tapered ruuing tip at the lower end. The
barrel is Iined with thin brass rings, each dne (1) inch in len$h. The spck penetrated
,-into the soil at the bottom of the trench approximately s’ut (6) .in;ches and at the bottom
of the boring approximately 12-inches. The central poeion of this sample was retained
for testing. Sand Volume Tests were also perf&r&d tit selected locutions; selected bulk
samples were also obtained. All samples in the natural field condition were sealed in
.airtight containers and transported to the laboratory. , . t
The materials encountered were continuadsly Ioaged by our field engineer and classified
by visual examination in accordance with the Unified Soil Classsificution System, us
,shown on Plate A. A Log of Trenches is presented in Table 1, The tog of I3orings is
presented on Plate A-l .
Groundwater was encountered in the exploratory boring at a depth of 17-feet.
B. Labomtory Tests
1. Moisture content and unit weight determinations \yere made on undisturbed care
-samples and sand volume tests obtained at varioz depths in the exploratory
-+xcavations, providing information on rektive density and moitire retention
properties of the various materials. The results are pesented on Table II and
:on Piate A-l.
2. Shear tests were made on undisturbed and remolded bulk samples with a dire&-
shear machine of the strain control type in which the r&te,bf ai& is O.QFinch
per minute. Th e machine is so designed &at tests inay& pe&mned.~$aou$
.removing the specimens fro= the rings in ‘which they VIere kbtuid or r&olded, . insuring a minimum of disturbance from the initid conditjom.’ Sskcted specimens
were inundated for approximately ‘24~hours and then were ~bjecteed to shear under
various normal loads. Selected specimens were sheared at cptima~m nxkfure. The
results are given in Table Il.

Consolidation tests were performed on specimens of the representative soils. The con-
solidometers, like the direct shear machine, are designed to receive the specimens in
the rings in the field condition. Porous stones, placed at the top and bottom of each
specimen, permit the free flow of water from the specimen during the test. Progressive
and final settlements under increasing load increments were recorded to a accuracy of
0.0001 -inch. Time-rate consolidation determinations were also conducted on specimens
at approximately proposed fill loading conditions. The final settlements so obtained are
plotted to determine the curves shown on Plates B-l and B-2.
Laboratory maximum densities were determined on samples of the major soil strata to
provide data on relative compaction of the native soils. The results are presented in
Table II.
Particle size determinations and After-berg Limits’Tests were conducted on representative
specimens to aid in classification of the soils. The results are presented in Table Il.
Expansive characteristics were determined for representative surface soils and bedrock
by three (3) methods. In the first method, the samples were remolded to 90 percent of
the laboratory standard and tested from optimum moisture content to satirration under a
surcharge load of 653 pounds per square foot. A second method consisted of remolded
samples testecf from air-dry to saturation under a surcharge load of 60 pounds per square
foot. Expansion potential was ajso’determined in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the A.S.C.E. Index Test. The results are presented in Table 11.

SITE PREPARATION
A* Excess vegetation and all deleterious material shall be disposed of
offsite as required by the Soils Engineer. This removal must be con-
cluded prior to placing fill.
B. Soil, alluvium or rock materials determined by the Soils Engineer
as being unsuitable for placement in compacted fills shall be removed
and wasted from the site. Where applicable, the Contractor shall
also obtain the approval of the controlling authorities for the project
prior to placement of any fill. All materials incorporated OS a part
of a compacted fill must be approved by the Soils Engineer.
C. The ground surface prepared to receive fill shall be scarified, disced
or bladed by the Contractor until it is uniform and free from uneven
features which may prevent uniform compaction.
The scarified ground surface shall then be brought to a near optimum
moisture condition, mixed as required, and compacted as specified.
If the scarified zone is greater than twelve-inches in depth, the
excess shall be removed and placed in lifts of six to eight-inches in
thickness.
Prior to placing fill, the ground surface to receive fill shall be
inspected, tested and approved by the Soils Engineer. In areas
where it is necessary to obtain the approval of the controlling
agency, it is necessary for the Contractor to notify the proper
authorities.
Any underground structures such as cesspools, cisterns, mining shafts,
tunnels, septic tanks, wells, pipe lines or others not located prior
to grading are to be removed or treated in a manner prescribed by the
Soils Engineer and/or the controlling agency for the project.
Ill COMPACTED FILLS
A. Any material imported or excavated on the property may be utilized
in the fill, provided each material has been determined to be suitable
by the Soils Engineer. Deleterious material not disposed of during
clearing or demolition shall be removed from the fill as directed by the

offsite, or placed in accordance with the recommendations of the
Soils Engineer in areas designated as suitable for rock disposal. Recom-
mendations for rock disposal such as location, moisture control, percentage
of rock placed, etc., shall be made in the soils report.
If oversize material was not anticipated in the preliminary soils and
geology report, and rock disposal recommendations hove not been
made, the Contractor shall notify the Soils Engineer that oversize rocks
are encountered. The Soils Engineer will then prepare a rock disposal
recommendation or request that such rocks be token offsite.
Material that is considered unsuitable by the Soils Engineer shall not
be used in the compacted fil I.
Representative samples of onsite material to be used for fill shall be
tested in the labcratory by the Soil Engineer in order to determine
the physical churacteristics of the material,
During grading operations, imported soils or soil types other thon those
previously analyzed may be encountered by the Contractor. The Soils
Engineer shall be consulted to determine the suitability of these soils. .
The fill material shall be placed by the Contractor in layers that
when compacted shall not exceed six-inche,. Each layer shall be
spread evenly and shall be thoroughly mixed during the spreading
to obtain Q near uniform condition of material in each layer.
Where the moisture content of the fill material is below the limit
specified by the Soils Engineer, water shall be added until the
moisture content is within the limits required 50 05 to assure an
adequate bonding and compaction of all fill mvterials. Where the
moisture content of the fill material is above the limits specified
by the Soils Engineer, the fill material shall be aerated by blading
or other satisfactory methods until the moisture content is within
the limits specified.

Each layer shall be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of the
maximum density in compliance with the testing method specified
by the controlling goverrmental agency. (In general, ASTM:D-
1557-7QT will be used, either with a five-layer or three -layer
curve. )
lf compaction to a lesser percentage is authorized by the controlling
governmental agency because of a specific land use or expansive
soil conditions, the area to receive fill compacted to less than
90 percent shall either be delineated on the grading plan or appropriate
reference made to the area in the soil report.
All fills shall be keyed and benched through all unsuitable topsoil,
colluvium, alluvium or creep material, into sound bedrock or firm
material where the slope receiving fill exceeds a ratio of five-
horizontal to one-vertical, in accordance with the recommendations
of the Soils Engineer.
Side hill fills shall have a minimum key width of fiveteen-feet into
bedrock or firm materials, unless otherwise specified in the soils
report. (See detail on Plate G-l)
Drainage terraces and subdrainage devices shall be constructed in
compliance with the ordinances of the controlling governmental
agency, or with the recommendations of the Soils Engineer and
Engineering Geologist.
The Contractor shall be required to obtain the relative .compaction
out to the finish slope face of fill slopes, buttresses and stabilization
fills OS directed by the governing agency for the project.. This may
be achieved by either overbuilding the slope and cutting back to the
compacted core, or by direct compaction of the slope face with suit-
able equipment, or by any other procedure which produces the
designated result . . I
The Contractor shall prepare a written detailed description of the
method or methods he will employ to obtain the required slope
compaction. Such documents shall be submitted to the Soils Engineer
for review and comments prior to the start of grading.
All fill slopes should be planted or protected from erosion in accordance
with the applicable grading ordinances.

or creep material into rock or firm material; and the transition shall
be stripped of all soil prior to placing fill. {See detail Plate G-2)

E.
The Engineering Geologist shall inspect all cut slopes which may be
affected by geologic conditions at vertical intervals not exceeding
ten-feet.
If any conditions of an odverse or potentially adverse nature not
anticipated in the preliminary report, are encountered during grading,
the Engineering Geologist and Soils Engineer shall investigate,
anolyze and make recommendations to treat these problems.
Cut slopes that iuce in the some direction us the prevailing drainage
shall be protected from slope wash by Q nonerosive interceptor swule
placed at the top of the slope.
Unless otherwise specified in the soils and geological report, no
cut slopes shall be excavated higher or steeper thon that allowed by
the ordinunces of controlling governmental agencies.
Drainage terraces shall be constructed in compliance with the
ordinances of the controlling governmental agencies, or in accordance
with the recommendations of the Soils Engineer or Engineering Geologist.
V GRAOING CONTROL .
A. Inspection of the fill placement shall be provided by the Soils
Engineer during the progress of grading.
Field density tests shall be made by the Soils Engineer to evaluate the
compaction of each layer of fi I I. . Density tests shall be mode at
intervals not to exceed two-feet of fill height. Where sheepsfoot
rollers are used, the soil may be disturbed to o depth of several inches.
Density determinations shall be taken in the compacted material below
the disturbed surface.
B. Where tests indicate the density of any layer of fill or portion thereof
is below the required relative compaction, the particular layer or
portion shall be reworked until the required density has been attained.
NO additional fill shall be placed over an ureu until the last placed
lift of fill h US b een tested and found to meet the density requirements
und that lift approved by the Soils Engineer.

C. Inspection by 8, Soils Engineer shall be conducted during the filling
--and compacting operation so that he can state that in his opinion all
cut and filled ureus are graded in accordance with the approved
,;specifications.
-.D. Where the work is interrupted by heuvy ruins, fill operations shall
snot be resumed until the field tests by the Soils Engineer indicate
-*he moisture content and density of the fill are within the limits
-previously specified.
.
-VI PROTECTION OF WORK
. A, During construe tion, the contractor shall properly grade all excavated
surfaces to provide good droinage and prevent ponding of water. He
shall control surface water to avoid damage to adjoining properties
,or to finish work on the site. The Contractor sh?ll take remedial
measures to prevent erosion of freshly graded ureas and until such time
.as permanent drainage and erosion control measures have been installed.
B. After completion of grading and the Soils Engineer hos finished his
---observations of the work, no further excavation or filling shall be
- done except under the observation of the Soi Is Engineer,
