In accot:dan~e wi th your t:equest and our proposal dated March 15,
1977, we have revi.ewed the proposed tentative grad'ing plan for the
subject subdivision and have made additional soil studies at the site.
The purpose of these stud ies is prepat:e updated conclus /.ons and
recommendations regarding ear thwrk'lng at the si te, slope stab II tty and
foundatf on desl gn. In addition, we are presenting estf.mates of the
quantlti es of various so Hs wh fch wi 11 requi re spec I al handling during
grading i.ncluding potentially expansl.ve and compt:essi.ble s~Hs, sons
suHable for use at finish grade, buttress volumes and special fl.ll
construe ti.on volumes.

A . prel iminary soU i.nvest.igation covering the subject sHe was
made by Woodward-Gi.zienski. & Associates and the results issued tn a
report dated' March 3, 1973. Two addenda to that report were. issupd and
are dated Hay 16, 1973, and Octoher 1, 1973. The results of out: current

OFFICE PREPARATION AND FIELD WORK
Our studies of thp. sHe Included a tp.vlp.w of the 'ptpl'lm'[nnry
reports; a review of 'the tentative gtad1.ng plan; a de.tailed geological
. '.
reconnaissance of the site, i.nc1ud ing 10ggi.ng of several exi.sting cut
slopes and natural exposures; the dd.ll ing of 3 additional test borings;
and the excavating of 11 test pits at repr,esentative locations', The
' .• test bod.ngs w.ere made wi th a six-inc~ diameter truck-moun ted power
auger and the test pits were advanced' with a .24-1nch wide ttac tor
m'o~9ted backhoe, The excavations. and bor~ngs were made at the
approx.:tmate locations shown on the attached plan under the supervision
of an engineering geolog 1st ttom out f1.rm who also made the geolog f c
reconnaissance of the slte and P logged the cut slopes. Our recent fteld
work was done during the period of March 8;. through 26, 1977. nH~
bot':fngs,. test pHs and field work were done \(f.th the a td of "A Rev fsed
Tentat.ive Subdi.vislon Map for Carlsbad Tract No. 76-Cadsbad Pal i.sades,"
pr.eparl?d by A1 ft:pd B. OSl'l?rhues, dated Febr.uary 9, 1977,
LABORATORY TESTS
The samples obtai.ned :l.n the. borings and pits were vi9ual'ly
classified in the laboratory and representaive samples were evaluated
wl.th respect to grain size, plast1c1.ty, swelling and compressl.hHi.ty
charac teristics. The v.f sual classifications were verifi.ed by' re.sul ts of
gra 1n si.ze and At terberg limHs 'determinat ion. Swell ing charac terist tcs
were evaluated by loaded swell tests on both undisturbed and compacted . .
samples. Compressi.b U tty was est i.mated by a conftned compressi.on test
on a sample of porous alluvIal soH. The results of grain stze and
plastlcHy tests ate presented on Figure 19, The results a f loaded
swell tests and the confined compress I.on test ate found on Fl gures 20

SUM~1ARY OF SITE SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
The subject subdlvisl.on Is located south and west of El CamIno
,~eal approx:lmately 2,000 fee t southerly of thp. O1estnut Avenup,
intersection. The si te is of moderately steep hllly topography wtth
slope :I,ncl inati.ons ranging from near vertical to as gentle as 20 to 1.
The site lles on the slopes of an old m~sa remnant surface whIch has
_ eroded into drainage swales and easterly trendtng rldge.s with badland
topography present on some of the upper slope areas. A maj or relati.vely
wlde draw drai.ns easterly in the northern portion a f the slte.
,..0:: •
The natural surface of the site is covered by a moderate 'to heavy
growth of native grasses and chaparral. Portions of the site have been
p10difted by grading which was done in conjunct:t.on wi th the grading of
Carlsbad 'Tract 73-8 in the southeast corner of ..the property.
Two types' bf man placed fUls ex lst on sIte. Compac ted fIll
exi.sts on Lots 71 through 79, 29 through 33 and 117 through 127. Thp.se
represent offsite fLlls placed during the grad1ng of' the adjacen~ tract.
Ex'tensive borrow excavations are present on site :In the area of Lots 15
through 20 and 112 through 116. SoH has been end dumped on the bottoms
of these excavations and also in the area of Lots 26 and 134.
Our st udies to date ind icate that· the' natural sub sur face salls and
geolog:lc fonnati.ons on site can be divided in to four maln u~:i,ts. These
are,:i.n order of increasing age: . overburden soils, Quaternary alluvi.al
deposits, Quaternary ten'aee deposits, and Tertiary marine sediments.

overl:f.es the Quaternary alluvial depos:i.ts 1n the northe.rly dt'aw area.
The lowe.r areas are generally covered by an approx'lmately onp. foot th I ck

. with occasi.onal layers and renses of clayey sand and gravel. This
mated.al is found generally above an approxlmate elevation of 275 feet
but has a somewhat irregular contact wJth the underlytng Tertiary
sediments. Some local terrace deposits on the order of ten feet thIck

Generally, the granular materials, silty to clayey sand, occur d frec tly
beneath the terrace material and extend down to elevatt:on of

S~ECIFICATIONS FOR CONTROLLED FILL ..
GENERAL
These specifications cover preparation of cxistinn surfaces to I'CCC;vc fills;
the type of 50;1 suitable for use in fills; th~ control of compactioR and the
,methods of testing compacted f'ills. It shall be the Contractor1s responsibility
to pli.lce, spread, w<.\ter and cOlilpact the fill in strict accordance with these
spccificat'ions. A Soil Enuineer sha'll be the Owncr1s rcprescntuUve to inspect
.the construction of fills. ExcavatiQn and the placing of fill shall be under
the direct inspection ~f the Soil Enqineer; and.he shall Qive wtitten notice
. of confo'rmancewith the specifications upon. completion of ~radinq. Deviations
from these specifications will be perlllitted 6nly upon written author.ization
Jrom the Soil Engine,er. A soil investiga,tion has been made for this project;.
any. recol11menda'tions made ,.in the rerort of the soil investiaation or subse'luent
reports shall ,become an addendum tq these specifications.
I I ' SCOPE
The placement of controlled fill ~by the Contractor shall include all clearing
and grubbing, removal of existing unsatisfactory material, preparation of the
areas to be filled, spreading·and compaction of fill in the areas to be filled,
and all other work necessary to complete the ~ra1ing of' the filled areas.
I II NATERIALS
1. Materials for cOll1racted fill shall consist of any material"imported or
excavated from the cut areas that, in the opinion of t"he Soil Engineer, is
suitable for use in constructing fills. The material shall contain no rocks
or hard lwnps greater than 24 inches in size and shall contain at least 40%
of material smaller than 1/4 inch in size. (Materials greater than 6 inches
in size shall ~e placed by the Contractor so that they are surrounded by com-
pacted fines; ncr nesting of rocks shall be permitted.) No materiall of a perish-
~ble, spongy, or otherwise of an improper natare shal.l be used in filling.
2. ~1ater;al plac,ed within 21]. inches pf rough grade shall be select material
that contains no roc.ks or hard lumps greater than 6 inches in size a.nd that
swells less than 3% when c~npacted as hereinafter specified for compacted
fill and when subjected to an axial pressure of 160 psf . .
3. Representative samples of material to be used for fill shain IDe tested
in the laboratory by the Soil Engineer in qrder to detennine the maximum
density, optimum moisture content and classification of the so'11. In addition,
the Soil Engineer shtlll detenninc the approximate bearin<,l value of a recolll-
pacted, saturated sample by direct shear tests or other tests applicable to'
the particular soil. '
4. During grading operations, soil tyres other thun those analyzed ;n the
report of the soil i nves ti gati on may be encountered by the Contractor. 1 he
Soil EnC'Jinccr .shall be consulted to detennine the suitability of these soils.

that will obtain cCjuivalent rcsul ts. '
(b) Pot~ntially expansive soils may be used in fills belO\>.J a depth of
24 inches and shall be compacted at a moisture content greater than the
optimum moisture content for the Illaterial.
2. Clearing arel Preparing Areas to be Fi]led
(a) All trees, brush,·grass, and other objectionable material shall be
collected, piled and burned or ~therwise disposed of by the Contractor
'$..o as to leave the· areas that have,been cleared ~,ith a neat and finished
appearance free from ,uns i ghtly debri s.
(b) All vegetable matter and objectionable material shall be removed by
the Contractor:from the surface upon which the fill is to be placed and
any loose and porous soils shall be removed qr comp,acted to the 'depth
show~ on the plans unless otherwise specifi~9 in writing by ~he Soil
Engineer. The surface s~all than be plow~d or scarified to a minimum
depth of 6 inches until the surfac6 is free frcim uneven features that·
, would tend to prevent uniform compaction by the equipment to De used.
(c) Where fills are constructed on h11lsides or i~opcs~ the ~lope of the
original ground on which the fill is to be placed shall be stepped or
keyed by the Contractor as shown on the attached Figure. The steps shall
extend completely through the soil mantle and into the underlying for-
mation materials .
•
(d) After the foundation for the fill has been cleared, plowed or scari-
fied, it shall be disced or bladed by the Contractor until it is uniform
and free froni. 1 arge clods, brought to the proper 1110i sture c.ontent and com-
pacted as specified for fill,'
3. Plating, Spreading, and/Compacting Fil) Material
, .
(a) The fill 1l1aterial sMall be placed by the Contractor in layers that
when compacted shall not exceed 6 inches. Each layer shall be spread
evenly and shall be thoroughly mixed during the spreading to obtain uni-
formity of lI1ater; a 1 'j n each 1 ayer.
(b) vJhen the moisture content of the fill material is ?~O\'I t!la·t spec,i-
fied by the Soil Engineer, water shall be added by the Contractor until
the moisture content is as speCified.
(c) vlhen the 11l0isture content of the fill Illatcriill is ilbove that sraci-
fled by the Soil Fnqinecr, the f'ill material shall be aeraTed by the Con-
Lrilctor by bladl119, ll1ixin~J) or other sut1sfactory methods until the 1I101sture
content is as specified.

'.
" (c) Surfilcc of fill slopes shall be cOll1pacted so that the slopes are
stable and there shall be no excessive loose soil on the slopes .
V INSPECTION
1. • Observation and compaction tests shall be made by the Soil Engineer during
the filling and' compacting operations so that he can state his opinion that the
fill was constructed in accordance with the specifications. . -. ' .
2.' The Soil Engi nee;r shall make fiel d density tests in accordance with ASTM
Test No. D1556-64T. Density tests shall be made ·in the compacted materials
b~low the surface where the surface is disturbed. When these tests jndicate
• that the density of an'y layer of fill or portion thereof is below the speci-
fied density, the particular layer or portion shall be r,~worked until the
specified density has been obtained. '
VI PROTECTION OF WORK
1'. During constr~ction 'the Contractor shall properly grade all excavilted
surfaces to provraepositive drainage and prevent ponding of water. He sllall
control surface water to avoid damage to adjoining properties or to finished
work on '~he site. 'The Contractor shall take remedial measures to prevent'
erosion of freshly graded areas and until such time as permanent drainage
and erosion control features have been installed. .
•
2. After completion of grading and the Soil Engi'neer has fin'ished h~s obser-
vatioIT of the 'work', no further excavation of fflling shall be done except under
the ob.servation of tbe, Soil Engineer.
