II. SITE DESCRIPTION .
The subject lots are located just north of Palomar Airport
and west of El CaminoReal. The subject lots are presently.
flat pad graded as Lots 20 through 24. The original topo-
graphy was relatively gentle slopes with minor drainage
swales. The location of the property and approximate
boundaries are shown on the Location Map,. Figure 1. Access
to the site is from El Camino Real, then proceeding west on
Carlsbad Research Center roads
The subject lots have been rough graded by conventional
grading. Lots 22 and 23 have cut/fill transitions and Lots
20, 21 and 24 are all fill. .

IV. FIELD EXPLORATION
Subsurface conditions were explored by drilling eight borings
to a maximum depth of 25 feet. The approximate locations
.f the borings are shown on the Plot Plan, Plate 1. The
eight borings were drilled with a 24-inch diameter bucket
auger. Logs of the borings are presented in Appendix B,
Figures. B-2 through B-9.
Drilling of the. eight borings was conducted under the super-
vision of an Engineering Geologist. The borings were logged
. and sampled for laboratory testing. Ring samples. were ob-
tained by driving a 2 6251nch diameter ring lined sampling
spoon into the soil with a 3400 pound Kelly bar. The blow
count for one.-foot of penetration has been indicatedon the
accompanying Logs of Borings. Further description of sampling
procedures has been included in Appendix B. . .

Vi. ENGINEERING .CONSJVERATIONS
A. General Description of Soils/Bedrock -
The Logs of Borings in Appendix B. indicate that the
predominant material at the subject site consists of
Point Loma Formation bedrock with or without an over-
lay of compacted fill consisting of silty.to sandy
Clay. .
Point Loma Formation
The Point Loma Formation bedrock underlying the
site is predominantly a silt-stone. Intact bedrock
is generally moist and stiff to very stiff. The
bedrock is weathered and fractured at the fill-
bedrock contact.
Fill Soils .
At all boring locations except Number 5, compacted
fill overlies the Point Loma Formation bedrock.
The fill is somewhat variable but typically classi-
fied-as a compacted silty to sandy clay.
B. Structural Loads
The preliminary structural loads are relatively moderate
loads-and can be supported by compacted fill.
C. Cut/Fill Transitions .
Transition from cut to fill soils occur in the -area
of Building E. To provide a uniform bearing condition
it will be necessary tooverexcavate the upper surface
of the bedrock and replace it. with compacted fill.

Vii. CONCLUSIONS AWV.RECO.MMENVATIOWS
A. General -
The proposed construction is feasible from geotechnical'
aspects. Conventional spread and wailfootings can
support the structural dead and live loads.. Two con-
straints on the proposed construction are:
1 Non-uniform bearing conditions at Building E
(Lot 23) consisting of both fill and bedrock.
2.. Results of expansion tests indicate that the typical.
soil has a high expansion potential.,
B. Recommended Type of Foundation
The recommended type of foundation to support dead and
live loads is spread footings, either square or contin-
uous. However, due to the difference in material type,
shear strength, and compressibility between the fill
and' the bedrock, it is recommended-that all footings
,for a given structure be founded in compacted fill.
Remedial Grading
For the ,non-uniform bearing condition at Building E'
(Lot' 23), it is recommended that remedial grading be
performed to'remove the upper surface of the bedrock
and replace it with compacted fill. The depth of over-
excavation should be a minimum of 5 feet beneath the,
bottom of the deepest footing. The lateral extent,of
remedial grading should be 10 feet beyond all sides of'
,the structure. The Plot Plan, Plate 1 shows the
i. S.

approximate limits of the,proposed overexcavation.
Field observations during grading will be necessary to
determine the extent of bedrock overexcavation to meet
:1 the specified depth.
D. Foundation and Slab Recommendations
0 To mitigate expansion forces, recommendations for
I .
column, slab and exterior concrete are as follows:
C
I .•
.. 1. Foundations .
a. Columns
.
.
,I
•- . Columns may be supported on spread footings,
a minimum of 18-inches below floor slab sub-
grade. . Reinforcement should be: based on •
structural.loading. . • •
'I . ,
• b.. Walls
•
I . .
. Exterior and interior footings 'should be con-
tinuous and. founded 18-inches below lowest,
adjaàent subgrade. Reinforcement in exterior
I . and interior footings should consist of a mini-
mum.of four No. 4 reinforcing bars, placed two
I . . .
the top. and two at the bottom.
-I 2., Floor Slabs
Floor slabs should be a minimum of 5-inches thick,
..I . reinforced with Number 3 bars (both directions) at
18-inches on' center located at mid-height of the
I . •. .
slab Slabs and footings should be doweled to-,
gether with No. 3 dowels at 36-inches-on center..

Slabs should be underlain by 4-inches of rounded
I : gravel or clean sand and a 6-mil visqueen moisture
barrier, plus a minimum of 1-inch of clean sand
betweenthe slab and visqueen
I .
. 3.. Pre-Soaking-Beneath Slabs
Slab subgrade soils should be soaked to at least
5 percent above optimum moisture content to a
depth of 24-inches below slab subgrade prior to
placement of concrete. The moisture penetration:
I
,
should be verified by the Soils Engineer.
Presaturatiôn'°of footing excavations, is not a
requirement but they should not be allowed to dry
out prior to the placement of concrete. Moisture
maintenance by spray applied membrane or sprinkling
may be necessary. .
I . .
. 4. Exterior Flatwork
• Provided some differential movement can be tolerated,
exterior slabs on grade (i.e. patios, walkways)
I . may be limited to 3.5-inches 'in thickness and
should be reinforced with 6x6-6/6 wire mesh A
SI • S ' •
•. four-inch granular base should be provided below
the slabs. Although presoaking is not a require-
ment, moisture content of optimum or above should
be maintained prior to placement of concrete.
I • S , •
, Slabs should be appropriately jointed for crack
control

• Allowable Bearing Pressures.for Footings
I The recommended allowable bearing pressure for
spread footings is 20.00 pounds per square foot
• provided the footings are at least. 2 feet wide
with a minimum of 18-inches embedment. The allow-
able bearing pressure may be.increased one-third
for short term wind or seismic loading. As
.I
mentioned, it is recommended that this bearing
.
.
value' be used only for those structures to be
entirely supported by fill. where the minimum depth
of fill is 5 feet below the deepest footing
I . Expected Settlement
.
. .. ..
Settlement under the maximum column loads will be
less 'than 0.5-inch. Differential settlement
between: wall and column loads will be on the order
ii
of 0.25-inch.
I 7. . Lateral Load Resistance .
. .
.
Lateral loads against buildings. may. be resisted
I -
-
by friction between the bottom of footings and
the supporting soils. An allowable fiction co-
I . . .
. efficient of 0.35 is recommended. Alternatively,
I
. an allowable lateral bearing .pressure equal to an
.
equivalent fluid.pressure of-300 pounds per square
. foot per foot of depth to .à maximum of 1.,500 .
- pounds per square foot-may be üse1d, provided' the . .
I . .
footings are poured tight againstundisturbed soils.

Retaining Walls .
I . Retaining walls should be designed to. resist
lateral loads caused by.adjacent surcharge loads.
. .1 Walls free to rotate.and retaining level backfill
consisting of the on-site soils, should be designed
I . .
. for an equivalent fluid pressure of 50 pounds per
cubic foot. If select non-expansive backfill is
utilized the fluid pressure may be reduced to 30
pounds per cubic foot. Walls which will be sub-
jected to surcharge loads should, be designed for -
an additional, active 'pressure.
I . drainage Adequate should be provided, behind the
walls to prevent the build-up of hydrostatic
pressures from surface water infiltration.
Type Cement for Construction
The results of sulfate tests indicate that Type II
cement may be used for all concrete in contact
with subgrade soils.
Backfill
All trench and/or wall backfill should be compacted
t0. at least 90. percent relative compaction and
tested by the Soils Engineer.
I
- Footing Observation .
All footing excavations should be observed by the
.
Soils Engineer prior to placing reinforcing steel
and concrete. . . . .

3. ' OBLIGATIONS OF PARTIES
3.1 The Geotechnical Consultant should provide observa-
tion and testing services and should make evalua-
tions in order to advise the Client on geotechnical-
matters. The Geotechnical Consultant should report
his findings and recommendations to the Client or
his authorized representative.
I
-
3.2 - -should The Client be chiefly responsible for all
aspects of the project.' He or his authorized rep-
resentative has the responsibility of reviewing the
'findings and rè¼ommendations of the Geotechnical
Consultant. He shall authorize or cause to have
I
: authorized the Contractor and/or other consultants
to perform work and/or provide services. During
grading the Client or his authorized representative
I 'accessible
should remain on-site or should remain reasonably
to all concerned parties in order to make
decisions necessary to maintain the flow of the
project.
I 3.3 contractor be -The should responsible for the safety
of the project and'satisfactory completion of all
grading and other associated operations on construc-
tion projects, including, but not limited,to, earth
work in accordance with the project plans, 'specifi-
cations and -controlling agency requirements. During
grading, the Contractor or his authorized represen-
tative should remain on-site. Overnight and on days
off, the Contractor should remain accessible.
I 4. SITE PREPARATION
-
4.1 The Client, prior to any site preparation or grading,
'I should arrange and attend a meeting among the Grading
Contractor, the Design Engineer, the Geotechnical Con-
I
sultant, representatives of the 'appropriate governing
authorities as well as any other concerned parties.
All parties should be given at least 48 hours notice.
4.2 Clearing and grubbing should consist of the removal of
- I '- vegetation such as brush, grass, woods, stumps, trees,
roots of trees and otherwise deleterious natural mater-
ials from the areas to be graded. Clearing and grub-
bing should extend to the outside of all proposed
excavation and fill areas.
39
I ....
Page Six
I
4.3 Demolition should include removal of buildings,
structures, foundations, reservoirs, utilities (in-
I
:
cluding underground pipelines, septic tanks, leach
fields, seepage pits, cisterns, mining shafts, tun- nels, etc.). and other man-made surface and sub-
surface improvements from the areas to be graded.
Demolition of utilities should include proper cap-
ping and/or rerouting pipelines at the project per-
imeter ana ôutoff and capping of wells in accordance
with the requirements of the governing authorities
and the recommendations of the Geotechnical Consul-
tant at the time of demolition.
4.4 Trees, plants or man-made improvements not planned
I the
to be removed or demolished should be protected by
Contractor from damage or injury.
4.5 Debris generated during clearing, grubbing and/or
I .
. demolition operations should be wasted from areas
to be graded and disposed off-site. Clearing, grub-
bing and demolition operations should be performed
I . under the observation of the Geotechnical. Consultant.
4.6 The Client-or Contractor should obtain the required
I . approvals from the controlling authorities for the
project prior, during and/or after demolition, site
preparation and removals, etc. The appropriate ap-
provals should be obtained prior to proc.eeding with I .
grading operations. S
. 5. . SITE PROTECTION .
I 5.1 Protection of the site during the period of grading
should be the responsibility of the Contractor,, Un-
I .. less other provisions are made in writing and agreed
upon among the concerned parties, completion of a
portion of the project should not be considered to
preclude that portion or adjacent areas from the
I .
requirements for site protection until such time as
the entire project is complete as identified by the
Geotechnical Consultant, the Client and the regu-
lating -agencies.
5.2 The Contractor should be responsible for the stability
I
.of all temporary excavations. Recommendations by the
Geotechnical Consultant pertaining to temporary exca-
vations (e.g., backcuts) are made in consideration of
• stability of the completed project and, therefore,
I should not be considered to preclude the responsi-
.
.
bilities of the Contractor. Recommendations by the.
Geotechnical Consultant should not be considered to
preclude more restrictive requirements by the regu- I .
lating agencies. S.
.1 •• . . ..• . ..
: • •
I
Page Seven
I
5.3 Precautions should be taken during the performance
I ,of site clearing, excavations and grading to protect
the work site from flooding, ponding or inundation by
poor or improper surface drainage. Temporary provi-
sions should be made during the rainy season to ade-
quately direct surface drainage away from and off the
work site. Where low areas cannot be avoided, pumps
shOuld be pt on hand to continually remove water
I during periods of rainfall.
5.4 During periods of rainfall, plastic sheeting should
I .
be kept reasonably accessible to prevent unprotected
slopes from becoming saturated. Where necessary dur-
ing periods of rainfall, the Contractor should install
I checkdams, desilting basins, rip-rap, sand bags or other
devices or methods necessary to control erosion and
provide safe conditions.
I 5.5. During periods of rainfall, the Geotechnical Consultant
should be kept informed by the Contractor as to the
nature of remedial or preventative work being performed
I .(e.g.,pumpi-ng, placement of sandbags or plastic sheet-
ing, other labor, dozing, etc.).
I . 5.6 Following periods of rainfall, the' Contractor should
contact the Geotechñical Consultant and arrange a walk-
over of the site in order to visually assess rain re-
lated damage. The Geotechnical Consultant may also
recommend excavations and. testing in order.to aid in
his assessments. At the request of the Geotechnical
Consultant, the Contractor shall make excavations in
order,to evaluate the extent of rain related-damage.
5.7 Rain-related damage should be considered to include,
but may .not be limited to, erosion, silting, saturation,
swelling, structural distress and other adverse condi-
tions identified by the Geotechnical Consultant. Soil
adversely affected should be classified as Unsuitable
Materials and should be subject to overexcavation and
replacement with compacted fill or other remedial grad-
ing as recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant.
5.8 Relatively level areas, where saturated soils and/or
erosion gullies exist to depths of greater than 1.0
foot; should be overexcavated to unaffected, compe-
tent material. Where less than 1.0 foot in depth, un-
suitable materials may be processed in-place to achieve
near-optimum moisture conditions, then, thoroughly re-
cornoacted in accordance with the applicable specifica-
tions. If the desired results are 'not achieved, the'
affected materials should be overexcavated, then re-
placed in accordance with the applicable specifications.
1l
Page Eight
5.9 In slope areas, where saturated soil and/or erosion
gullies exist to depths of greater than 1.0 foot,
they should be overexcavated and replaced as compacted
fill in accordance with the applicable specifications.
Where affected materials exist to depths of 1.0 foot
or less below proposed finished grade, remedial grad-
ing by moisture conditioning in-place, followed by
thorough recompaction in accordance with the applic-
able gradig guidelines herein may be attempted. If
the desired results are not achieved, all affected
materials should be overexcavated and replaced as
compacted fill in accordance with the slope,repair
recommendations herein. As field conditions dictate,
other slope repair procedures may be recommended by
the Geotechnical Consultant.
EXCAVATIONS
6.1 UNSUITABLE MATERIALS
6.1.1 Materials which.are unsuitable should be exca-
vated under observation and recommendations of
the Geotechnical Consultant. Unsuitable mater-
ials include, but may not be limited to, dry,
loose, soft., wet, organic compressible natural
soils and fractured, weathered, soft bedrock
and nonengineered or otherwise deleterious
fill materials. -
6.1.2 Material identified by the Geotechnical Consul-
tant as unsatisfactory due to it's moisture
conditions should be overexcavated, watered or
dried, as needed, and thoroughly blended to a
uniform near optimum moisture condition (as per
guidelines reference 7. 2. 1) prior to placement
as compacted fill.
6.2 CUT SLOPES
6.2.1 Unless otherwise recommended by the Geotechnical
Consultant and approved by the regulating agen-
cies, permanent cut slopes should not be steeper
than 2:1 (horizontal:vertical).
6.2.2 If excavations for cut dopes expose loose, co-
hesionless, significantly fractured or otherwise
unsuitable material, overexcavation and replace-
ment of the unsuitable materials with a compacted
stabilization fill should be accomplished as
recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant.
Unless otherwise specified by the Geotechncial
Consultant, stabilization fill construction
should conform to the requirements of the Stan-
dard Details.

6.2.3 The Geotechnical Consultant should review cut
slopes during excavation. The Geotechnical
- Consultant should be notified by the contractor
prior to beginning slope excavations.
6.2.4 If, during the course ofgrading, adverse or
potentially adverse geotechnical conditions are
encountered which were not anticipated in the
preliminary report, the Geotechnical Consultant
should explore, analyze and make recommenda-
tions to treat these problems.

6.2.5 When cut slopes are made in the direction of
the prevailing drainage, a non-erodible diver-
sion swale (brow, ditch) should be provided at
the top-of-cut.
6.3.1 All lot pad areas, including side yard terraces,
above stabilization'fills or buttresses should
be overexcavated to provide for a minimum of
3 feet (refer to Standard Details) of compacted
fill over the entire pad area. Pad areas with
both fill and cut materials exposed and pad
areas -containing both very shallow' (less than
3 feet) and deeper fill should be overexcavated
'to provide for a uniform compacted fill blanket
.with a minimum of 3 feet in thickness (refer to
Standard Details). Cut areas exposing signi-
ficantly varying material types should also be
overexcavated to provide for at least a 3-foot
thick compacted fill blanket. Geotechnical
conditions may require greater depth of-over-excavation. The actual depth should be de-
lineated by the Geotechnical Consultant during
grading.
6.3.2 For pad areas created above cut or natural
slopes, positive drainage should be established
away from the top-of-slope. This may be accom-
plished utilizing a berm and/or an appropriate,
pad gradient. A gradient in soil areas away
from the top-of-slopes of 2 percent or greater.
is recommended.
COMPACTED FILL
All fill materials should be compacted as specified below
or by other methods specifically recommended by the Geotech-
nical Consultant. Unless otherwise specified, the minimum
degree of compaction (relative compaction) should be 90
percent of the laboratory maximum density. I

7.1 PLACEMENT
7.1.1 Prior to placement of compacted fill, the Con-
I
I
.nical
tractor should request a review by the Geotech-
Consultant of the exposed ground surface.
Unless otherwise recommended, the exposed ground
surface should then be scarified (six inches mini-
mum), watered or dried as needed, thoroughly
bfénded to achieve near optimum moisture condi-
tions, then thoroughly compacted to a minimum
of 90 percent of the maximum density. The re-
view by the Geotechnical Consultant--should not
be considered to preclude requirement of inspec-
tion and approval by the governing agency.
7.1.2 Compacted fill should be placed in thin hori-
I .
zontal lifts not exceeding eight inches in loose
thickness prior to compaction. Each lift
should be watered or dried as needed, thoroughly
blended to achieve near optimum moisture condi-
tions then thoroughly compacted by mechanical
methods to a minimum of 90 percent of laboratory I .
maximum dry density. Each lift should be treated
in a like manner until the desired finished
I .
I . .
.
grades
7.1.3
are achieved.
The Contractor should have suitable and, suffi-
cient mechanical compaction equipment and water-
ing apparatus on the jab site to handle the
amount of fill being placed in consideration
of moisture retention properties of the mater-
ials. If necessary, excavation equipment should
be "shut down" temporarily in order to permit
proper compaction of fills. Earth moving equip-
ment should only -be considered a supplement and
not substituted for conventional compaction
equipment.
I . 7.1.4 When placing fill in horizontal lifts adjacent
to areas sloping steeper than 5:1 (horizontal:
I •
. vertical), horizontal keys and vertical benches
should be excavated into the adjacent slope area.
Keying and benching should be sufficient to pro-
vide at least six-foot wide benches and a mini-
I the
mum of four feet of vertical bench height within
firm natural ground, firm bedrock or engi-
neered compacted fill. No compacted fill should
I .
be placed in an area subsequent to keying and
benching until the area has been reviewed by
•
. the Geotechnical. Consultant. Material generated
by the benching operation should be moved suf-
ficiently away from the bench area to allow for
•: - the recommended review of the horizontal bench prior to placement of fill. Typical keying and benching details have been included within the
accompanying Standard Details.
I . Page Eleven
7.1.5 Within a single fill area where grading proce-
dures dictate two or more separate fills, tem-
porary slopes (false slopes) may be created.
When placing fill adjacent to a false slope,
benching should be conducted in the same man-.
ner as above described. At least a 3-foot U vertical bench should be established within
the firm core of adjacent approved compacted
fig-11-prior to placement of additional fill..
I .
Benching should proceed in at least 3-foot
• vertical increments until the desired finished
.
grades are achieved.
I 7.1.6 Fill should be tested for compliance with the
recommended relative compaction and moisture
conditions. Field density testing should con-
form to ASTM Method of Test D 1556-64, D 2922-78
and/or D 2937-71. Tests should be provided for
about every two vertical feet or 1,000 cubic
I yards of fill placed. Actual test interval
may vary as field conditions dictate. Fill
found not to be in conformance with the grad-
I .
ing recommendations should be removed or other-
wise handled as recommended by the Geotechnical
- . Consultant. -
I . 7.1.7 The the Geotechnical Contractor should assist
Consultant and/or his representative by digging
pits for removal determinations and/or for
I
test
testing compacted fill.
7.1.8 As recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant,
I . the Contractor should "shut down" or remove
grading equipment from an area being tested.
7.1.9 The Geotechnical Consultant should maintain a I .
plan with estimated locations of field tests.
Unless the client provides for actual surveying
of test locations, the estimated locations by
.. I the Geotechnical Consultant should only be con-
sidered rough estimates and should not be uti-
lized for the purpose of preparing cross sec-
tions showing test locations or in any case for
the purpose of after-the-fact evaluating of the
sequence of fill placement-.
I 7.2 MOISTURE
7. 2.1 For-field testing purposes, '"near Optimum" mois-
I
.
ture will vary with material.type and other
factors including compaction procedure. "Near
. optimum" may be: specifically recommended in
I . . .
Preliminary Investigation Reports and/or-)may
be.evaluated during grading.
I
Page Twelve
I
7.2.2 Prior to placement of additional compacted
fill following an overnight or other qradinq
delay, the exposed surface or previously com-
pacted fill should be processed by scarifica-
tion, watered or dried as needed, thoroughly
blended to near-optimum moisture conditions,
then recompacted to a minimum of 90 percent
of.-laboratory maximum dry density. Where wet
or other dry or other unsuitable materials
exist to depths of greater. than one foot, the
unsuitable materials should be overexcavated.
7.2.3 Following a period of flooding, rainfall or
overwatering by other means, no additional
fill should be placed until damage assess-
ments have been made and remedial grading
performed as described under Section 5.6
herein.
FILL MATERIAL
7.3.1 Excavated on-site materials which are.accept-
able to the Geotechnical Consultant may be
utilized, as compacted fill, provided trash,
vegetation and other deleterious materials
are removed prior to placement.
7.3.2 Where import materials, are required for use..
on-site, the Geotechnical Consultant should be
notified at least 72 hours in advance of im-
porting, in order to sample and test materials
from proposed borrow sites. No import mater-
ials should be delivered for use on-site with-
out prior sampling and testing by Qeotechnical
Consultant.
7.3.3 Where oversized rock or similar irr1educible ma-
terial is generated during grading, it is rec-
ommended, where practical, to waste such mater-
ial off-site or on-site in areas designated as
"nonstructural rock disposal areas". Rock
placed in disposal areas should be placed with
sufficient fines to fill voids. The rock should
be compacted in lifts to an unyielding condi-
tion. The disposal area should be covered with
at least three feet of compacted fill which is
free of .oversized material. The upper three
feet should be placed in accordance with the
guidelines for compacted fill herein.

7.3.4 Rocks 12 inches in maximum dimension and smal-
ler may be utilized within the compacted fill,
provided they are placed in such a manner that
nesting of the rock is avoided. Fill should
be placed and thoroughly compacted over and
around all rock. The amount of rock should
not exceed 40 percent by dry weight passing
the 3/4-inch sieve size. The 12-inch and 40
percent recommendations herein may vary as
field conditions dictate.
73.5 During the course of grading operations, rocks
or similar irreducible materials greater than
12 inches maximum dimension (oversized material),
may be generated. These rocks should not be
placed within the compacted fill unless placed
as recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant.
7.3.6 Where rocks or similar irreducible materials of
greater than 12 inches but less than four feet of
maximum dimension are generated during grading,
or otherwise desired to be placed within an
engineered fill, special handling in accord-
ance with the accompanying Standard Details is
recommended. Rocks greater than four feet should
.be broken down or disposed off-site. Rocks
up to four feet maximum dimension should be placed
below the upper 10. feet of any fill, and should
.not be closer than 20 feet to any slope face.
These recommendations could vary as locations
of improvements dictate. Where practical, over-
sized material should not be placed below areas
where structures or deep utilities are proposed.
Oversized material should be placed in windrows
on a clean, overexcavated or unyielding com-
pacted fill or firm natural ground surface.
Select native or imported granular soil (S.E. 30
or higher) should be placed and thoroughly
flooded over and around all windrowed rock, such
that voids are filled. Windrows of oversized
material should be staggered so that successive
strata of oversized material are not in the
same vertical plane.
7.3.7 It may be possible to dispose of individual
larger rock as field conditions dictate and as
recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant ,at
the time of placement.
7.3.8 Material that is considered unsuitable by the
-Geotechnical Consultant should not be utilized
in the compacted fill.
L7
Page Fourteen
73.9 During grading operations, placing and mixing
the materials from the cut and/or borrow areas
may result in soil mixtures which possess
unique physical properties. Testing may be
required of samples obtained directly from the
fill areas in order to verify conformance with
the specifications. Processing of these ad-
dtional samples may take two or more working
days. The Contractor may elect to move the
operation to other areas within the project,
or may continue placing compacted fill pending
laboratory and field test results.-Should he
elect the second alternative, fill placed is
done so at the Contractor's risk.
7.3.10 Any fill placed in areas not previously re-
viewed and evaluated by the Geotechnical Con-
sultant, and/or in other areas, without prior
notification to the Geotechnical Consultant may
require removal and recompaction at the Con-
tractor's expense. Determination of overex-
cavations should be made upon review of field
conditions by the Geotechnical Consultant.
7.4 FILL SLOPES
7.4;l Unless otherwise recommended by the Geotechnical
Consultant and approved by the regulating agen-
cies, permanent fill slopes should not be
steeper than 2:1 (horizontal:vertical).
7.4.2 Except. as specifically recommended otherwise
or as otherwise provided for in these grading
guidelines (Reference 7.4.3), compacted -fill
slopes should be overbuilt and cut back to
grade, exposing the firm, compacted fill inner
core. The actual amount of overbuilding may
vary as field conditions dictate. If the de-
sired results are not achieved, the existing
slopes should be overexcavated and reconstructed
under the guidelines of the Geotechnical Consul-
tant. The degree of overbuilding shall be in-
creased until the desired compacted slope sur-
face -condition is achieved. Care should be
taken by the Contractor to provide thorough
mechanical compaction to the outer edge of the
overbuilt slope surface.
7.4..-.3 Although no construction procedure produces a
slope free from risk of future movement, over-
filling and cutting back Of slope to a compacted
inner core is, given no other constraints, the
most desirable procedure. Other constraints,
however, must often be considered. These con- •
straints may include property line situations,
4ff
I
Page Fifteen
I
/ access, the critical nature of the development
I . and cost. Where such constraints are identi-
fiéd, slope face compaction may be attempted
by conventional construction procedures includ-
ing backrolling techniques upon specific recom-
mendation by the Geotechnical Consultant.
As a second best alternative for slopes of 2:1
(horizontal:vertical) or flatter, slope con-
struction may be attempted as outlined herein.
Fill placement should proceed -in thin lifts, i.e.,
I six to eight inch loose thickness) Each lift
should be moisture conditioned and thoroughly
compacted. The desired moisture condition
should be maintained and/or re-established, I where necessary, during the period between
successive lifts. Selected lifts should be
tested to ascertain that desired compaction is
I . being achieved. Care should be taken to ex-
tend compactive effort to the outer edge of
the slope. Each lift should extend horizontally
I to the desired finished slope surf ace or more
as needed to ultimately establish desired grades.
Grade during construction should not be allowed
to roll off at the edge of the slope. It may. I . be helpful to elevate slightly the outer edge
of the slope. Slough resulting from the place-
ment of individual lifts should not be allowed
• - to drift down over previous lifts. At intervals
not exceeding four feet in vertical slope heiqht
or the capability of available equipment, which-
I ever is less, fill slopes should be thoroughly
backrolled utilizing a conventional sheepsfoot-
type roller. Care should be taken to maintain
the desired moisture conditions and/or re- U . establishing same as needed prior to backrolling.
Upon achieving final grade, the slopes should
again be moisture conditioned and thoroughly
I
.
backrolled. The use of a side-boom roller will
• probably be necessary and vibratory methods are
strongly recommended. Without delay, so as to
I avoid (if possible) further moisture conditioning,
the slopes should then be grid-rolled to achieve
a relatively smooth surface and uniformly com-
pact condition. . .
In order to monitor slope construction proce-
dures, moisture 'and density tests will be taken
at regular intervals. Failure to achieve the
desired results will likely result in a recom-
mendation by the Geotechnical Consultant, to

I • overéxcavate the slope surfaces followed by
reconstruction of the slopes utilizing over-
filling and cutting back procedures .and/or
further attempt at the conventional back-
rolling approach. Other recommendaitons may
also be provided which would be commensurate
with field conditions.
I .
'7.4.4 Wlré placement of fill above a natural slope
or above a cut slope is proposed, the fill
slope configuration as presented in the Ac-
companying Standard Details should be adopted.
7.4.5 For pad areas above fill slopes, positive, drain-
. age should be established away from the top-
I . . .
of-slope. This may be accomplished utilizing.
a berm and pad gradients of at least 2 percent
in soil areas.
I 7.5 OFF-SITE FILL
7.5.1 Off-site fill should be treated in the same I manner as recommended in these specifications
- for site preparation,, excavation, drains, com-
paction, etc. .
7.5.2 Off-site canyon fill 'should be placed in prep-
aration for future additional fill, as shown
I • '
in the accompanying Standard Details.
7.5.3 Off-site fill subdrains temporarily terminated
(up canyon) should be surveyed for future re- I .
location and connection.
I
8. .DRAINAGE . •
8.1 Canyon subdrain systems specified by the Geotechnical ,
ConsUltant should be installed in accordance with the
I Standard Details.
8.2 Typical subdrains for compacted fill buttresses, slope
stabi1izations.or sidehill masses,, should be installed I . in accordance with the specifications of the accompany-
ing Standard Details.
I 8.3 Roof, pad and slope drainage should be directed away
from slopes and areas of structures to suitable dis-
posal areas via non-erodible devices (i.e., gutters,
I . downspouts, concrete swales).
8.4 For drainage over soil areas immediately away from
structures, (i.e., within four feet) a minimum of 4 percent I gradient should.be maintained. Pad. drainage of at
•
. least 2 percent should be maintained over soil areas.
I .
Pad drainage may be reduced to at least 1 percent -for

projects where no slopes exist, either natural or man-
made, of greater than 10 feet in height and where no
slopes are planned, either natural or man-made,
steeper than 2:1 (horizotal:vertica1 slope ratio).
8.5 Drainage patterns established at the time of fine grad-
ing should be maintained throughout the life of the
project. Property owners should be made aware that
I . altering cainage patterns can be detrimental to slope
stability and foundation prformance
I
9 STAKING
9.1. In all fill areas, the fill should be compacted prior
I
'. to the placement of the stakes. This particularly is
important on fill slopes. Slope stakes should' not be
• placed until the slope is thoroughly compacted (back- -
rolled). If stakes must be placed prior to the com-
I pletion of compaction procedures, it must be recognized.
that they will be removed and/or 'demolished at such
-time as compaction procedures resume.
9.2 In order to allow for remedial grading operations,
'which could include overexcavations or slope stabili-
zation, appropriate staking offsets should be provided.
I
.
For finished slope and stabilization backcüt areas, we
recommend at least 'a 10-foot setback from proposed
toes and tops-of-cut.
: 10. SLOPE MAINTENANCE
10.1 LANDSCAPE PLANTS
In order to enhance surficial slope stability, slope
I • - '
. planting should be accomplished at the completion of
grading. Slope planting should consist of deep-rooting
vegetation requiring little watering. Plants native to
the southern California area and plants relative ,to
I ' native plants are generally desirable. Plants native
to other semi-arid and arid areas ma', also be appro-
priate. A Landscape Architect would be the best party
I '
• to consult regarding actual types of plants and plant-
-
• ing configuration. '
I
'10.2 IRRIGATION
10.2.1 Irrigation pipes should be anchored to slope
faces, not placed in trenches excavated into
I - •
- slope faces.
10.2.2 'Slope irrigation should be minimized. • If 'auto-
I
matic timing devices are utilized on irrigation
' systems, provisions should be made for inter-
• ' rupting normal irrigation during periods 'of
rainfall. '
I' '
I '
Page Eighteen
I •' S .
10.2.3 Though not a requirement, consideration should
I .
be given to the installation of near-surface
moisture monitoring control devices. Such de-
vices can aid in the maintenance of relatively
uniform and reasonably constant moisture
conditions.
10.2.4 Property owners should be made aware.that over-
I . ..
' wé'ing of slopes is detrimental to slope
stability.
10.3 MAINTENANCE
10.3.1 Periodic inspections of landscaped slope areas
should be planned and appropriate measures
should be taken to control weeds and enhance
growth of the landscape plants. Some areas
may require occasional replanting and/or
reseeding.
10.3.2 Terrace drains and downdrains should be period-
I ically inspected and maintained free of debris.
Damage to drainage improvements should be re-
paired immediately.
I '
. 10.3.3 Property. owners should be made aware that bur-
rowing animals can be detrimental to slope sta-
bility, A preventative program should be esta-
blished to control, burrowing animals.'
10.3.4 As a precautionary measure, plastic sheeting
I . should be readily available, or kept, on hand,
to protect all slope areas 'from saturation by
periods of heavy or prolonged rainfall... This
measure is strongly recommended, beginning with
I . the period of time prior to landscape planting.
I
. 10.4 REPAIRS
10.4.1 If slope failures occur, the Geotechnical Con-
sultant should be contacted for a field review
of site conditions and development of recommen-
dations for evaluation and repair.
I . .
10.4.2 If slope failures occur as a result of exposure
to periods of heavy rainfall, the failure area
and currently unaffected areas should be covered
with' plastic sheeting -to protect against addi-
tional saturation.
10.4.3 In the accompanying Standard Details, appro
'
priate repair, procedures are illustrated for -
superficial slope failures (i.e., occuring typi-
cally within the outer one foot 'to three feet.*
of a slope.face).

11. TRENCH BACKFILL
11.1 Utility trench backfill should, -unless otherwise
recommended, be cornpadted by mechanical means. Unless
otherwise recommended, the degree of compaction should
be a minimum of 90 percent of the laboratory maximum
density..
11.2 As an alternative, granular material (sand equivalent
greater than 30) may be thoroughly jetted in-place.
Jetting should only be considered to apply, to trenches
no greater than two feet in width and four-feet in depth.
Following jetting operations, trench backfill should
be thoroughly mechanically compacted and/or wheel-
rolled from the surface.
11.3 Backfill of exterior and interior trenches extending
below a 1:1 projection from the outer edge of founda-
tions should be mechanically compacted to a minimum
of 90 percent, of the laboratory maximum density.
11.4 Within slab areas, but outside the influence of fouri-
dations, trenches up to one foot wide and two feet deep
may be backfilled with sand and consolidated by jet-
ting, flooding or by mechanical means. If on-site
materials are utilized, they should be wheel-rolled,
tamped or otherwise compacted to a firm condition.
For minor interior trenches, density testing may be
deleted or spot testing may be elected if deemed
necessary, based on review of backfill operations
during construction.
11.5 If utility contractors indicate that it is undesirable
to use compaction equipment in close proximity to a
buried conduit, the Contractor may elect the-'utiliza-
tion of light weight mechanical compaction equipment
and/or shading of the conduit with clean, granular.,
material, which should be thoroughly jetted in-place
above the conduit, prior to initiating mechanical com-
pact-ion procedures. Other methods of utility trench
compaction may also be appropriate, upon review by the
GeotechniOal Consultant at the time of construction.
11.6 In cases where clean granular materials are proposed
for use in lieu of native materials or where flooding
or jetting is proposed, the procedures should be con-
sidered subject to review by the Geotechnical
Consultant.
11.7 Clean granular backfill and/or bedding are not recom-
mended in slope areas unless provisions are made for
a drainage system to mitigate the potential build-up
of seepage' forces.'
