EARTHWORK QUANTITY ANALYSIS
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this study was to provide a preliminary earthwork quantity analysis of
surficial unsuitable soils requiring remedial grading and marginally- to non-rippable rock
anticipated to be encountered within the cut areas for the proposed Rancho Santa Fe Road
realignment in the City of Carlsbad, Califomia.
In addition to our supplemental Soil and Geologic Investigation dated January 8, 1990, the
Revised Grading Plan for Rancho Santa Fe Road Realignment, prepared by Project Design
Consultants, Scale: 1 inch equals 200 feet, undated, was also utilized for this analysis.
The scope of this study included review of the Revised Grading Plan and interpolation of
the previously performed borings, trenches, seismic refraction traverses and air-track borings
for preliminary earthwork quantity evaluation.
Cross-sections were developed within the proposed cut areas and are indicated on Figures 1
through 13. The Revised Grading Plan was utilized as a base map for the analysis and
includes the locations of the cross-sections and is included as Figure 14. For referencing
purposes, the Geologic Map previously presented in our January 8, 1990 report is attached
as Figure 15.

SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The irregular, north-south elongate site comprises approximately 684 acres of essentially
undeveloped land roughly centered on Rancho Santa Fe Road in Carlsbad, California. A
short section of Questhaven Road and its intersection with Rancho Santa Fe Road lie within
the extreme northeast corner of the site.
Other than Rancho Santa Fe Road, with the associated truck bypass, and Questhaven Road,
existing site improvements include the Stanley Mahr Reservoir (La Costa Dam), the Denk
Reservoir (steel water tank), a 100-foot wide San Diego Gas and Electric easement with
wood pole and lattice tower supported electric lines, a 200-foot wide San Diego Gas and
Electric easement (empty), a 150-foot wide San Diego Gas and Electric easement with steel
tower supported electric lines, and two buried water pipes associated with the reservoirs
(Geologic Map, Figure 15).
Topographically, the site is characterized by irregular steep to moderate ridge-and-canyon
terrain, with trellis drainage along northward, westward and southward trending canyons.
Drainage is uhimately accomplished by tributaries into San Marcos Creek along the
northwestern site boundary, and by Encinitas Creek along the southern site boundary.
Elevations range from a high approximately 990 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) along the east-
central property boundary to a low of approximately 235 feet MSL along San Marcos Creek
along the northwest boundary of the site. Vegetation typically consists of thick chaparral
-2-
File No. 04367-04-02
June 14, 1990
and grasses through a majority of the site. The lower drainages feeding San Marcos Creek
and Encinitas Creek, however, have mature to old-age native stands of Valley Oak and
Sycamore. Running water was observed in San Marcos Creek as well as from springs in the
major drainage along the extreme southwest boundary of the site.
We understand that development as currently proposed will consist of the realignment of
Rancho Santa Fe Road generally between the intersections with Mehose Avenue and La
Costa Avenue. Grading of the road will produce large sheet graded areas with cut slopes
approximately 60 feet high and fill slopes approximately 50 feet high at inclinations of
approximately 2:1 (horizontal to vertical). A new water crossing structure is planned at San
Marcos Creek. The bridge is anticipated to have a length of approximately 300 lineal feet.
No structural design details or concepts were present at this time.
SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
Stratigraphy
Six surficial soil types and three geologic formations were encountered during our January
1990 investigation. The surficial deposits included undocumented fills, landslide debris,
topsoils, slopewash, alluvium and terrace deposits. Geologic formations included the
Jurassic-aged Santiago Peak Volcanics, the Cretaceous-aged Bonsall Tonalite and the
Eocene-aged Delmar Formation. Each of the soil types and geologic units encountered are
I
File No. 04367-04-02
June 14, 1990
described below, and their approximate mapped extent is depicted on Figure 15, Geologic
Map (Pocket).
Santiago Peak Volcanics (Jsp)
The Jurassic-aged Santiago Peak Volcanics, with the exception of the extreme northern
approximately one-fourth of the site, comprise the majority of the underlying bedrock.
These rocks were deposited as an altemating secession of volcanic flows, tuffs and breccias
and typically have an andesite or dacite composition. Subsequently this sequence of rocks
was folded, faulted and weakly metamorphosed. Where observed in test excavations,
especially in the central portions of the site, this unit is highly fractured and faulted along
northwest-to-southeast zones. Closely spaced parallel fractures and joints form "sheeted"
zones containing colorful alteration and/or oxidation minerals such as limonite and
hematite. The presence of cubic-shaped crystal-voids (pseudomorphs) and in some areas,
cubic-shaped pyrite (iron sulfide) crystals, as well as other exotic minerals such as epidote,
chlorite, and possible traces of copper minerals, suggests hydrothermal alteration (or,
ancient hot spring activity). This feature is consistent with the historic copper mining
operations in similar rock along northwest-southeast zones east of the site. Even though the
majority of the Santiago Peak Volcanics appears to be highly fractured and altered, the
zones typically have steeply dipping, tight clay-filled fractures.

June 14, 1990
During the January 8,1990 investigation, 37 "air-track" pneumatic drill holes and 34 seismic
lines were placed in proposed major cut areas within the Santiago Peak Volcanics generated
data to aid in estimating the depth and general extent of hard rock materials requiring
blasting. Drilling rates and depths were monitored and logged in graphical form as
illustrated in Appendix A of the original investigation report. Interpretations of rock
rippability are presented in Table 3 of this report. Our past observations of excavations and
typical industry practice in the San Diego County area indicate that the results of pneumatic
percussion-type drilling equipment can generally be correlated with rippability as follows:
Drilling rates, using the pneumatic percussion or air-track equipment of less
than approximately 60 seconds for 3 feet of drill penetration have generally
been found to correlate to materials that are rippable. Drilling rates
between 60 and 90 seconds for 3 feet of penetration are considered to be
marginal in rippability. A drilling rate in excess of 90 seconds for 3 feet of
penetration is usually an indication that blasting will probably be required to
excavate the materials encountered efficiently.
The seismic lines were previously performed along 100 foot traverses utilizing a 2-geophone
Geometries Nimbus shallow refraction seismograph. Results for the seismic lines are also
included in Table 4.
In general, the results of the air-track borings indicated the potential for non-rippable
"floater boulders," "ribs" and "knobs" below 20 feet throughout the major cuts. Some
localized areas in the southeast portions and central portions are underlain by non-rippable
materials at less than 10 feet in-depth. Rippable to marginally rippable material generally
File No. 04367-04-02
June 14, 1990
occurs throughout cut areas, allowing moderately difficult rippability with a D9 Caterpillar
tractor equipped with a single shank hydraulic ripper.
Bonsall Tonalite (Kgr)
Cretaceous-aged granitic rock correlated to the Bonsall Tonalite was encountered in the
approximately northern one-quarter of the site. Test trenches and air-track borings also
encountered a moderate to highly fractured and faulted structure similar to that described
within the Santiago Peak Volcanics in the foregoing sections, as indicated in the January 8,
1990 report. Unlike the volcanic rocks, the granitic units exhibited a more random,
rectilinear, fracture pattem, with a typically weathered, coarse granular texture at shallow
to moderate depths.
Observation and monitoring of 7 "air-track" pneumatic drill holes and 2 seismic lines in the
proposed major cut areas within the Bonsall Tonalite generated data to aid in estimating
the depth and general extent of hard rock materials requiring blasting. As was described
in foregoing sections on volcanic rocks, interpretation on rock rippability are based on
graphic and tabulated air-track results.
In general, the results of the air-track borings indicated the potential for non-rippable
"floater boulders," "ribs" and "knobs" below 15 feet throughout the major cuts. Some
-6-
File No. 04367-04-02
June 14, 1990
localized areas may be underlain by marginal to non-rippable materials at less than 5 foot
depths.
Delmar Formation (Td)
The Eocene-aged Delmar Formation, consisting of stiff to very hard, light brown to olive
silty to sandy claystones and sandstones was found to occur only in the lower drainage
tributary to Encinitas Creek along the extreme southwestern edge of the site. As indicated
on Figure 15, this unit crops out only along the base of a westward facing slope of the
drainage between approximate elevations 250 and 270 MSL. Subsurface observation of test
trenches along this slope indicated the presence of hard or dense, horizontally bedded
claystones and sandstones. These beds, however, were overlain further northward by
surficial terrace deposits and landslide debris. Local variations of bedding inclination within
the Delmar Formation is a characteristic which could affect stability in natural or excavated
slopes. Slope stabilization measures may be necessary if any cut slopes or fill keyways
expose this unit as discussed in the January 8, 1990 investigation report.
Terrace Deposits (Ot)
Stream-deposited dense, dark reddish-brown sands and cobble-to-boulder conglomerates
were previously observed to overlie Santiago Peak Volcanics and Delmar Formation in
trenches and borings at elevations between approximately 360 and 420 feet MSL within the
major south drainage along the extreme southwestern boundary of the site. In general.
File No. 04367-04-02
June 14, 1990
these sediments exhibit good to excellent bearing characteristics, however, where they rest
upon highly weathered and/or altered Santiago Peak Volcanics, or Delmar Formation
claystones, they have been found to comprise ancient landslide debris, or may become
unstable if undercut in excavations as discussed in the January 8, 1990 investigation.
Alluvium (Qai)
The alluvial deposits, as previously encountered, are typically composed of loose, porous,
clay-sand-gradual mixtures with boulders that have accumulated along canyon bottoms. The
maximum observed thickness was approximately 13 feet in the extreme southwest drainages,
but up to 10 feet of alluvial soils were observed along San Marcos Creek at the extreme
northern portion of the site. These sediments are generally poorly consolidated and
susceptible to settlement when subjected to an increase in vertical loads as might results
form the placement of fill or stmctures. Hence, development within areas containing
alluvial deposits will require remedial grading.
Landslide Debris and Surficial Landslide Debris (Qls and Qlsf)
Two deep-seated landslides and two areas of surficial landslides were previously mapped
within the site. The relatively thin, or surficial, landslides were encountered in shallow
exploration trenches and were interpreted from stereoscopic aerial photographs and ground
reconnaissance.
-8-
File No. 04367-04-02
June 14, 1990
Both the deep and shallow landslides have generally occurred near, or along, the bottom of
a southwest-draining tributary of Encinitas Creek in the southwestem portion of the site.
The landslides have occurred within the weathered depositional contact-zone between thin
remnants of the Eocene Dehnar Formation claystones, hydrothermally altered Jurassic
Santiago Peak Volcanics and overlying Terrace Deposits.
Surficial landslide materials, averaging approximately 10 feet thick typically consisted of very
clayey gravel to boulder gravels, or gravelly clays that have failed along the Delmar
Formation remnant claystones, or within very weathered, altered, Santiago Peak Volcanics.
Portions of both the surficial and deeper landslide debris are relatively loose and possess
the potential for future movement. Within the relatively thin surficial debris, complete
removal and recompaction will be required where settlement-sensitive structures and/or fiUs
are planned. The deeper landslides will also necessitate remedial grading in the form of
removal and recompaction.
Slopewash (Qsw)
Slopewash and coUuvial soUs, as previously encountered, occur along the canyon side-slopes,
at the base of natural slopes and along the head scarps of landslides. These deposits are
often indistinguishable from aUuvium and thick topsoU deposits, therefore, only the thicker,
or potentiaUy thicker areas have been mapped separately. The maximum observed thickness
FUe No. 04367-04-02
June 14, 1990
of these materials is on the order of 6 feet. In general, these deposits consist of poorly
consolidated sandy clays to clayey sands and are potentiaUy compressible. Development
within areas underlain by slopewash wiU require remedial grading.
TopsoU (Unmapped)
TopsoUs of irregular thicknesses ranging from 1 to 2 feet blanket the majority of the site.
The topsoUs are characterized by dark brown to reddish-brown graveUy sUty sands to sandy
clays. These soUs are both moderately to highly expansive, as weU as potentiaUy
compressible. Recommendations with respect to the treatment of topsoUs have been
included under the Conclusions and Recommendations section of the January 8,1990 report.
FUl Material TOafi
As indicated in our investigation report, several generations of engineered and
undocumented fUl materials are present on the site. The largest-volume of documented fUl
includes the materials constituting the La Costa Dam. The La Costa Dam was designed
with an imperious clay core and a granular sheU. The spUlway and some section of the
access roads were constmcted from fUl materials that were generated on-site.
We anticipate that clay rich fUl materials with oversize rock and deleterious debris are
present to maximum depth on the order of from 20 to 30 feet in the canyons immediately
downstream from the La Costa Dam and extending westward beneath the existing Rancho
10
FUe No. 04367-04-02
June 14, 1990
Santa Fe Road. The old highway alignment, including the existing truck by-pass, and other
old fiU debris also constitute undocumented fiUs which wUl require remedial grading where
roads, fiUs and settlement sensitive stmctures are planned.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
1. The findings and conclusions presented herein are based on our previous subsurface
investigation report of January 8, 1990. This preliminary earthwork analysis is
predicated on interpretation of previously generated field data and comparisons with
the revised Grading Plan. For presentation purposes, the earthwork quantities have
been presented as seven separate areas. Areas A through F (Figure 14).
Unsuitable Surficial SoU Removal and Recompaction
2. The approximate depths of recommended removal of unsuitable surficial soUs
including slopewash, aUuvium and landslide debris are presented in Table 1.
Interpolation of removal depths was made between excavations and the areal extent
of removals was "planimetered." DetaUs of the estimated quantities of removals are
presented on Table 2. A total quantity of 998,000 cubic yards is estimated.
MarginaUy- to Non-Rippable Rock
3. The approximate depths of rock rippability are presented on Table 3 Air-Track
Rippability Interpretation and Table 4 Seismic Traverses. Cross-Sections A-A through
CC-CC (Figures 1 through 13) were developed to interpolate the depths of
marginaUy- to non-rippable rock between the seismic traverses and "air-track" borings.
The rock surface depth presented on the cross-sections indicates an average depth
12-
FUe No. 04367-04-02
June 14, 1990
at which rock wUl likely requiring blasting. DetaUs of the quantity estimates of non-
rippable rock are presented on Table 2. A total of 1,821,000 cubic yards is estimated.
Rock DurabUity
4. As an adjunct to the earthwork quantity study, representative samples of metavolcanic
rock (principal bedrock) were obtained and subjected to rock durability testing. The
samples were coUected from surface outcrops and exposed cuts. The approximate
sample locations are indicated on the Grading Plan, Figure 14. The results of these
tests are presented in Table 5. In general, the test results provide a preliminary
indication that the on-site rock is suitable for manufacturing Class II aggregate base
material in regard to durability. Additional testing wiU be required during grading
and rock crushing operations.
Bulking and Shrinkage
5. The foUowing shrinkage and bulking factors are recommended for evaluating
preliminary earthwork quantities. The factors presented were developed as indicated
in our previous investigation report.
SoU Unit Shrink/Bulk Factor
AUuvium and topsoUs 10 to 15 percent shrink
Weathered rippable bedrock 10 to 15 percent buUc
Non-rippable bedrock 20 to 25 percent bulk

LIMITATIONS AND UNIFORMITY OF CONDITIONS
1. The recommendations of this report pertain oiUy to the site investigated and are
based upon the assumption that the soU conditions do not deviate from those
disclosed in the investigation. If any variations or undesirable conditions are
encountered during construction, or if the proposed construction wiU differ from that
anticipated herein, Geocon Incorporated should be notified so that supplemental rec-
ommendations can be given.
2. This report is issued with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the owner,
or of his representative, to ensure that the information and recommendations
contained herein are brought to the attention of the architect and engineer for the
project and incorporated into the plans, and the necessary steps are taken to see that

3. The findings of this report are valid as of the present date. However, changes in the
conditions of a property can occur with the passage of time, whether they be due to
natural processes or the works of man on this or adjacent properties. In addition,
changes in applicable or appropriate standards may occur, whether they result from
legislation or the broadening of knowledge. Accordingly, the findings of this report
may be invaUdated whoUy or partiaUy by changes outside our control. Therefore, this
report is subject to review and should not be relied upon after a period of three
years.

Dl = Depth in feet to base of first layer
D2= Depth to base of second layer
NOTE:
For mass grading, materials with velocities of less than 4500 fps are generaUy "PPable with
a D9 CaterpUlar Tractor equipped with a single shank hydrauUc ripper. Velocities of 45UU
to 5500 fps indicate marginal ripping and blasting. Velocities greater than 5500 fps generaUy
require pre-blasting. For trenching, materials wUh velocities less than 3800 fps are generaUy
rippable depending upon the degree of fracturing and the presence or absence of boulders.
Velocities between 3800 and 4300 fps generaUy indicate marginal ripping, and velocities
greater than 4300 fps generaUy indicate non-rippable conditions. The above velocities are
based on a Kohring 505.
