provided (EDC, 2005), dated December 1 2, 2005 Our review was performed to identify potential
conflicts with the intent of the geotechmcal documents referenced above Based on our review, the
subject plans are considered acceptable from a geotechmcal point of view, provided the following
comments are addressed in the final plans for construction
Specifications (Sheet 1) - Field Quality Control, Section 3 08
Please note foundation observation and soils testing does not technically fall into the category of
"Special Inspection" In Item "C", please change "Foundation Inspection" to "Foundation
Observation" And add "Wall foundation excavations should be observed by the geotechmcal
consultant and approved in writing prior to wall construction "
Specifications (Sheet 1) - Construction Notes, and Wall Cross Sections (Sheet 4)
Please add notation stating that the minimum horizontal distance between the bottom of the wall
foundation and the daylight to the slope face should be 10 feet
Specifications (Sheet 1) - References, Section 1 03

GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADINGSPECIFICATIONS
Page 3 of 6
2 2 Processing Existing ground that has been declared satisfactory for support of fill by the
Geotechnical Consultant shall be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches Existing
ground that is not satisfactory shall be overexcavatedas specified in the following section
Scarification shall continue until soils are broken down and free of large clay lumps or
clods and the working surface is reasonably uniform, flat, and free of uneven features that
would inhibit uniform compaction
2 3 Overexcavation In addition to removal:, and overexcavations recommended in the
approved geotechmcal report(s) and the grading plan, soft, loose, dry, saturated, spongy,
organic-rich, highly fractured or otherwise unsuitable ground shall be overexcavated to
competent ground as evaluated by the Geotechnical Consultant during grading
2 4 Benching Where fills are to be placed on ground with slopes steeper than 5 I (horizontal
to vertical units), the ground shall be stepped or benched Please see the Standard Details
for a graphic illustration The lowest bench or key shall be a minimum of 15 feet wide and
at least 2 feet deep, into competent material as evaluated by the Geotechnical Consultant
Other benches shall be excavated a minimum height of 4 feet into competent material or as
otherwise recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant. Fill placed on ground sloping
flatter than 5 1 shall also be benched or otherwise overexcavated to provide a flat subgrade
for the fill
2 5 Evaluation/Acceptance of Fill Areas All areas to receive fill, including removal and
processed areas, key bottoms, and benches, shall be observed, mapped, elevations
recorded, and/or tested prior to being accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant as suitable
to receive fill The Contractor shall obtain a written acceptance from the Geotechnical
Consultant prior to fill placement A licensed surveyor shall provide the survey control for
determining elevations of processed areas, keys, and benches
30 Fill Material
3 1 General Material to be used as fill shall be essentially free of organic matter and other
deleterious substances evaluated and accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant prior to
placement Soils of poor quality, such as those with unacceptable gradation, high
expansion potential, or low strength shall be placed in areas acceptable to the Geotechnical
Consultant or mixed with other soils to achieve satisfactory fill material
3 2 Oversize Oversize material defined as rock, or other irreducible material with a maximum
dimension greater than 8 inches, shall not be buried or placed in fill unless location,
materials, and placement methods are specifically accepted by the Geotechnical
Consultant Placement operations shall be such that nesting of oversized material does not
occur and such that oversize material is completely surrounded by compacted or densified
fill Oversize material shall not be placed within 10 vertical feet of finish grade or within
2 feet of future utilities or underground construction

3 3 Import. If importing of fill material is required for grading, proposed import material shall
meet the requirements of Section 3.1 The potential import source shall be given to the
Geotechnical Consultant at least 48 hours (2 working days) before importing begins so that
its suitability can be determined and appropriate tests performed
4 0 Fill Placement and Compaction
4 1 Fill Layers. Approved fill material shall be placed in areas prepared to receive fill (per
Section 3 0) in near-horizontal layers not exceeding 8 inches in loose thickness The
Geotechnical Consultant may accept thicker layers if testing indicates the grading
procedures can adequately compact the thicker layers Each layer shall be spread evenly
and mixed thoroughly to attain relative uniformity of material and moisture throughout
42 Fill Moisture Conditioning Fill soils shall be watered, dried back, blended, and/or mixed,
as necessary to attain a relatively uniform moisture content at or slightly over optimum
Maximum density and optimum soil moisture content tests shall be performed in
accordance with the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM Test Method
D1557-91)
4 3 Compaction of Fill After each layer has been moisture-conditioned, mixed, and evenly
spread, it shall be uniformly compacted to not less than 90 percent of maximum dry density
(ASTM Test Method D1557-91) Compaction equipment shall be adequately sized and be
either specifically designed for soil compaction or of proven reliability to efficiently
achieve the specified level of compaction with uniformity
4 4 Compaction of Fill Slopes In addition to normal compaction procedures specified above,
compaction of slopes shall be accomplished by backrolhng of slopes with sheepsfoot
rollers at increments of 3 to 4 feet in fill elevation, or by other methods producing
satisfactory results acceptable to the Geotechnical Consultant Upon completion of
grading, relative compaction of the fill, out to the slope face, shall be at least 90 percent of
maximum density per ASTM Test Method Dl 557-91
4 5 Compaction Testing Field tests for moisture content and relative compaction of the fill
soils shall be performed by the Geotechnical Consultant Location and frequency of tests
shall be at the Consultant's discretion based on field conditions encountered Compaction
test locations will not necessarily be selected on a random basis Test locations shall be
selected to verify adequacy of compaction levels in areas that are judged to be prone to
inadequate compaction (such as close to slope faces and at the fill/bedrock benches)

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose and Scope
This report presents the results of our Geotechnical Investigation for the proposed
Homewood Suites and Hampton Inn located on the southeast corner of the Palomar
Airport Road and Yarrow intersection in Carlsbad, California (Figure 1). The purpose of
our investigation was to identify and evaluate the existing significant geotechnical
conditions present at the site and to provide conclusions and geotechnical
recommendations relative to the proposed development Our scope of services included.
• A review of geotechnical and geologic literature, relative to the site (Appendix A)
• Reconnaissance geologic mapping of site conditions
• A subsurface exploration program consisting of the excavation, logging, and sampling
of seven exploratory borings 8 to 20 feet in depth All of the borings were sampled
and logged by a geologist from our firm Logs of these borings, along with the logs of
borings completed during prior investigations of the site are included in Appendix B
• Laboratory testing of selected soil samples obtained during drilling Laboratory test
results are included in Appendix C
• Preparation of a Geotechnical Map (Figure 1) showing the approximate locations of

1.2 gite Location and Description
The site is located on the southeast corner of the Palomar Airport Road and Yarrow
intersection in Carlsbad, California (Figure 1) The L-shaped parcel consists of a
generally flat, previously mass-graded pad. It is bounded by Palomar Airport Road to the
north, Yarrow Street to the west, an existing commercial business park to the east and
south. The property partially encircles an existing bank building and associated parking
lot located immediately northwest of the site. A graded slope, up to approximately 40 feet
in height, descends from the property to the south and east.
1-3 Proposed Development
Based on our review of the site plan and architectural schematic provided by (JWDA,
2004), we understand site development will include the construction of two 3-story
structures, consisting of an I-shaped Hampton Inn and L-shaped Homewood Suites
(Figure 2) A swimming pool and spa is proposed at the southeast corner of the lot
Although finished grade elevations are not provided, minor cuts and fills are expected to
be necessary to reach the finished grades

2.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
2.1 Previous Site Investigation
A previous subsurface investigation of the property was performed on March 9, 1998 by
Robert Prater and Associates, Inc. (RPA, 1998). It included the excavation, logging, and
sampling of 10 small-diameter borings to a maximum depth of 165 feet below the
existing ground surface The approximate boring locations are labeled PB-1 through PB-
10 on the Geotechmcal Map (Figure 2), and logs of those borings are included in
Appendix B
2.2 Current Site Investigation
Subsurface exploration was performed on July 22, 2004, and consisted of the excavation
of seven small diameter borings (B-l through B-6 and B-4A) to approximate depths of 8
to 20 feet below the existing ground surface The purpose of these excavations was to
evaluate the physical characteristics and engineering properties of the onsite soils
pertinent to the proposed development The excavations allowed evaluation of the soils to
be encountered at foundation elevations, the general nature of the onsite soils for use as
compacted fills, evaluation and measurement of any previously placed fill soils, and
provided representative samples for laboratory testing
The exploratory excavations were logged by a geologist from our firm Representative
bulk and relatively undisturbed (drive cylinder) samples were obtained at frequent
intervals for laboratory testing The approximate locations of the explorations are shown
on Figure 2 After logging and sampling, the excavations were backfilled
2-3 Laboratory Testing
Laboratory testing was performed on representative samples to evaluate the expansion
potential, shear strength, and geochenucal characteristics of the subsurface soils A brief
discussion of the laboratory tests performed and a summary of the laboratory test results
are presented in Appendix C

3.0 SUMMARY OF GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS
3.1 Regional Geology
The subject site is located m the coastal section of the Peninsular Range Province, a
geornorphic province with a long and active geologic history throughout Southern
California. Throughout the last 54 million years, the area known as the "San Diego
Embayment" has undergone several episodes of marine inundation and subsequent
marine regression, resulting in the deposition of a thick sequence of marine and
nonmarme sedimentary rocks on the basement rock of the Southern California batholith.
Gradual emergence of the region from the sea occurred in Pleistocene time, and numerous
wave-cut platforms, most of which were covered by relatively thin marine and nonmanne
terrace deposits, formed as the sea receded from the land. Accelerated fluvial erosion
during periods of heavy rainfall, coupled with the lowering of the base sea level during
Quaternary time, resulted in the rolling hills, mesas, and deeply incised canyons which
characterize the landforms we see m the general site area today
3.2 Site-Specific Geology
Based on our subsurface exploration and review of pertinent geologic literature and maps,
the bedrock unit underlying the site consists of the Tertiary Santiago Formation Artificial
Fill was also encountered on the site A brief description of the geologic units encountered
on the site is presented below Approximate geologic contacts between the units are mapped
on Figure 2
3.2.1 Santiago Formation (Map Symbol - Ts)
The bedrock unit underlying the entire site is the Tertiary-aged Santiago Formation
In general, the unit consists of massive to thickly-bedded sandstone with interbedded
clayey siltstone and claystone. The sandstone consists primarily of light gray, light
brown, and light yellow-brown, moist, dense, poorly-graded to clayey, fine- to
occasionally medium-grained sandstone The poorly-graded to slightly silty
sandstone is generally friable, slightly micaceous and massive The siltstone
consisted of light gray to light yellow-brown, moist, stiff, clayey siltstones that were
generally indistinctly bedded and contained calcium carbonate, manganese-oxide
and non-oxide staining
-5-
Leighton
600550-001
3.2.2 Artificial Fill Soils (Map Symbol - Af)
The subject site is underlain by artificial fill soils, encountered along the south and
east portions of the subject lot, including the existing slopes descending from the
building pad area These fill soils were apparently placed under the observation
and testing of others (Robert Prater and Associates, 1980) These soils primarily
consisted of light gray-brown to yellow-brown, moist, medium dense to dense,
silty sands and clayey sands and stiff to very stiff sandy clays except for the near-
surface fill soils (0 to 5 feet) which were found to be loose to medium dense
Based on our results of our recent field investigation laboratory testing, and prior
experience in this area (Leighton, 1999a and 1999b) these engineered fills are
expected to be suitable for support of the proposed improvements except for the
near-surface fill as described above, which will require removal and
recompaction In addition, the existing engineered fills and soils derived from cuts
within this unit have the potential to possess moderate to high expansion
potential Expansive soils, if encountered, should be mitigated in accordance with
Section 5 1 5
33 Geologic Structure
Based on our review of the geologic mapping completed during the nearby rough grading
operations, literature review, and our subsurface investigation, the Santiago Formation
bedrock includes mterbedded clays, silts, and fine sands which dip gently (less than 10
degrees) west Local variation in bedding attitudes can be expected, resulting from cross
lamination within the subhonzontally dipping Santiago Formation
Based on our previous field explorations and a review of published geologic maps of the site
and vicinity, no active faults have been mapped or were encountered on or immediately
adjacent to the site The significance of faulting is discussed in the following section on
faulting and seismicily
-6-
Leighton
600550-001
3.4 Landslidlna
No ancient landslides have been mapped on the site and no evidence of landsliding was
observed during our site investigation.
3.5 Surface and Ground Water
Surface water may also dram as sheet flow in the higher portions of the site during rainy
periods and accumulate in lower portions of the site. Ground water was not observed during
our investigation, however ground water levels will fluctuate during periods of high
precipitation Ground water is not expected to impact the proposed development if the
recommendations regarding drainage outlined in this report are implemented
3.6 Faulting
Our discussion of faults on the site is prefaced with a discussion of California legislation
and policies concerning the classification and land-use criteria associated with faults By
definition of the California Mining and Geology Board, an active fault is a fault that has
had surface displacement within Holocene time (about the last 11,000 years) The state
geologist has defined a potentially active fault as any fault considered to have been active
during Quaternary time (last 1,600,000 years) This definition is used in delineating
Earthquake Fault Zones as mandated by the Alquist-Pnolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act
and as subsequently revised in 1997 The intent of this act is to assure that unwise urban
development and certain habitable structures do not occur across the traces of active
faults The subject site is not included within any Earthquake Fault Zones as created by
the Alquist-Pnolo Act (Hart, 1997)
Our review of available geologic literature (Appendix A) indicates that there are no
known major or active faults on or in the immediate vicinity of the site The nearest
known active regional fault is the Rose Canyon Fault Zone located approximately 6 3
miles west of the site
3.6.1 CBC Seismic Design Criteria
The effect of seismic shaking may be mitigated by adhering to the California
Building Code and state-of-the-art seismic design parameters of the Structural
Engineers Association of California The site is located within Seismic Zone 4 as
designated by the California Building Code (CBSC01, Figure 16A-2) The soil
profile designation for the site is considered to be type Su per the 2001 CBC,
Table 16A-J Near source factors Na and Nv for the site equal to 1 0 and 1 0,
-7-
Leighton
600550-001
respectively, are appropriate based on the seismic setting and criteria of Tables
16A-S and 16A-T of the 2001 CBC.
3.7 Secondary Seismic Hazards
Secondary effects that can be associated with severe ground shaking following a
relatively large earthquake include shallow ground rupture, soil liquefaction and dynamic
settlement, seismic slope instability seiches and tsunamis These secondary effects of
seismic shaking are discussed in the following sections.
3.7.1 Shallow Ground Rupture
Ground rupture because of active faulting is not likely to occur on site due to the
absence of known active faults Cracking due to shaking from distant seismic
events is not considered a significant hazard, although it is a possibility at any site
3.7 2 Liquefaction and Dynamic Settlement
Liquefaction and dynamic settlement of soils can be caused by strong vibratory
motion due to earthquakes Both research and historical data indicate that loose,
saturated, granular soils are susceptible to liquefaction and dynamic settlement
Liquefaction is typified by a loss of shear strength in the affected soil layer,
thereby causing the soil to liquefy, This effect may be manifested by excessive
settlements and sand boils at the ground surface
The onsite artificial fill and Santiago Formation are not considered hquefiable due
to their physical characteristics, lack of an elevated ground water table, high-
density characteristics, and age
3.8 Expansion Potential
The majority of the onsite boil is expected to have a low to medium expansion potential
(per CBC criteria), however, based on the results of our laboratory test results, some on-
site soils may have a very high expansion potential (Appendix B) Expansive soil may be
reused as fills provided that it is blended with granular material Special foundation
design for expansive soil can mitigate the effects of the expansive soil These
recommendations will be discussed in Section 5 1 5 for the proposed development In
summary, finish grade soils should be sampled and tested tor expansion potential once
grading of the site is complete
-8-
Leighton
600550-001
3.9 Soil Corrosivlty
The test results performed for the subject site and adjacent tracts indicate the onsite soils
derived from the Santiago Formation and associated artificial fills possess a negligible to
moderate soluble sulfate content and a moderate to high potential for corrosion to buried
metals. Laboratory testing of finish grade soils at-grade or in contact with concrete and/or
buried metal conduits should be performed once grading of the site is completed. A
corrosion engineer should be contacted for design of measures to mitigate corrosion.
3.10 Slope Stability
Although the proposed finished pad elevations were not provided for the preparation of
tins report, it is our understanding that the finished grades will be similar to the existing
grades The stability of the existing slopes was evaluated for the preparation of this
report The slope geometry considered was a 40 foot 1 8 1 (horizontal to vertical) fill
slope with a surcharge of 750 psf applied at an offset of 20 feet from the top of slope The
described configuration was analyzed for gross stability utilizing the data gathered from
our subsurface investigation, laboratory testing and professional experience
The analysis of the proposed slope configuration was performed using the computer
program Gstable 7 Based on our field observations, previous testing of similar materials,
and strength testing of a sample collected during our subsurface investigation strength
parameters of <j» =30 degrees and c = 350 pound per square foot (psf) were used for
Artificial Fills Our analysis indicates that the existing slopes have a calculated static
factor of safety of 1 5 or greater, with respect to potential deep rotational failure
Summary calculations are presented in Appendix D
We recommend that the geotechmcal consultant document and geologically map all
excavations during grading The purpose of this mapping is to substantiate the geologic
conditions assumed in our analysis Additional investigation and stability analysis may be
required if unanticipated or adverse conditions are encountered

4.0 CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of our Geotechnical Investigation of the site, it is our opinion that the
proposed development is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint, provided the following
conclusions and recommendations are incorporated during design and construction.
• No Active or potentially active faults are known to exist on or in the immediate vicinity of
the site
« Based on subsurface exploration of the formational materials, artificial fills, and surficial
soils present on the site, we anticipate that these materials should be generally nppable with
conventional heavy-duty earthwork equipment.
• With the exception of the upper 1 to 2 feet of the documented fill soil, the existing
documented fill soils, generally appear to be well compacted
• Based on laboratory testing and visual classification, test results indicate that the on-site soil
possesses a medium to very high potential for expansion Therefore, special foundation
design and site grading are recommended to reduce the adverse effects of expansive soils
We note that heaving and/or differential movement of exterior flatwork and hardscape, that
typically occur over the life of a project, are likely consequences of the presence of expansive
soils at shallow depths Accordingly, more than typical maintenance and/or repairs may be
anticipated for buildings, slabs, flatwork, curbs, and pavements due to wetting/drying cycles
of the highly expansive soils
• Laboratory test results indicate the onsite soils have a negligible to moderate potential for
sulfate attack on concrete and have a moderate to high potential for attack on concrete and
buried uncoated metal conduits A corrosion engineer should be consulted
• The existing onsite soils appear to be suitable material for use as compacted fill provided they
are relatively free of organic material, debris, and rock fragments larger than 6 inches in
maximum dimension Where highly to very highly expansive soils are reused, special design
and construction measures will be required
" Ground water was not encountered during our investigation, nor is ground water anticipated
to be encountered during site excavation and construction
• Transitions from cut to fill materials beneath the proposed Homewood Suites building will
require undercutting formation materials to provide a blanket of fill beneath the structure
foundations We recommend undercutting the building pad to an elevation of 5 feet below the
finish pad grades for the proposed Homewood Suites building, as described in the following
Section 5 2
-10-
Leighton
600550-001
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Earthwork
We anticipate that earthwork at the site will consist of site preparation, removals of
potentially compressible soil, excavation of cut material to remediate transitions, fill
placement, and trench excavation and backfill We recommend that earthwork on site be
performed in accordance with the following recommendations, the City of Carlsbad grading
requirements, and the General Earthwork and Grading Specifications for Rough-Grading
(GEGS) included in Appendix E In case of conflict, the following recommendations shall
supersede those included as part of Appendix E.
5.1.1 Site Preparation
Prior to the grading of areas to receive structural fill or engineered structures, the
areas should be cleared of surface obstructions, any existing debris, potentially
compressible material (such as undocumented fill soils, topsoil, colluvium, and
weathered formational materials) and stripped of vegetation Vegetation and debris
should be removed and properly disposed of offsite Holes results from the removal
of buried obstructions which extend below finished site grades should be replaced
with suitable compacted fill material Areas to receive fill and/or other surface
improvements should be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 to 12 inches, brought to
at least 3 percent above the optimum moisture condition, and recompacted to at
least 90 percent relative compaction (based on American Standard of Testing and
Materials [ASTM] Test Method D1557)
5 1.2 Removal and Recompaction of Potentially Compressible Soils
Portions of the site are underlain by potentially compressible soils that may settle
under the surcharge of fill and/or foundation loads These materials include
unsuitable surficial fill soils, and weathered formational material Compressible
materials not removed by the planned grading should be excavated to competent
material, moisture conditioned or dried back (as needed) to obtain at least a 3
percent above the optimum moisture content, and then recompacted prior to
additional fill placement or construction The actual depth and extent of the required
removals should be determined during grading operations by the geotechmcal
consultant
-11-
Leighton
600550-001
5.1.3 Excavations and Oversize MateriaJ
Excavations of the onsite materials may generally be accomplished with
conventional heavy-duty earthwork equipment.
We do not anticipate the generation of significant quantities of oversize material
Oversize material (greater than 8 inches maximum dimension) if encountered,
should be handled in accordance with the General Earthwork and Grading
Specifications for Rough Grading presented in Appendix E
5.1.4 RH Placement and Compaction
The onsite soils are generally suitable for use as compacted fill provided they are
free of organic material, debris, and rock fragments larger than 6-mches in
maximum dimension All fill soils should be brought to at least 3 percent above-
optimum moisture conditions and compacted in uniform lifts to at least 90 percent
relative compaction based on laboratory standard ASTM Test Method D1557 The
optimum lift thickness required to produce a uniformly compacted fill will depend
on the type and size of compaction equipment used In general, fill should be
placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in thickness
Placement and compaction of fill should be performed in general accordance with
the current City of Carlsbad grading ordinances, sound construction practices, and
the General Earthwork and Grading Specifications for Rough Grading presented
in Appendix E
5.1,5 Expansive Soils and Selective Grading
Since the on-site bedrock and artificial fill soil includes material tested to be of
"high" expansion potential (Expansion Index > 90), appropriate design and
construction measures are required Options to mitigate for the presence of highly
expansive soils are provided below
-12-
Leighton
600550-001
Option 1; Selective Grgding and Reuse as Compacted Fill
Highly expansive soils should be buried in fills below 5 feet of the finish pad
grade. All fills placed within the upper 5 feet of finish grade in building pads
should possess an expansion index less than 70 Based on our review of the
subsurface borings excavated at the site, some of the near surface soils consist of
granular material with very low to moderately expansion potential, Selective
grading would involve the stockpiling and mixing of granular materials, with the
surficial expansive soils, creating a surficial soils with an expansion index less
than 70 throughout the upper 5 feet of finished grade. In this case, foundations
may be designed as shallow spread footings, as described in Section 5.3.1 below.
Option 2: Post-Tensioned and .Mat Foundations
If the "highly" expansive soils comprise the upper 5 feet of the building pads,
specially designed foundations, including post-tensioned slabs or mat foundations
may be used. Recommendations for design of post-tensioned or mat foundations
are included below, in Sections 533 and 534
5.2 Cut/Fill Transition Conditions
A cut/fill transition condition is expected beneath the proposed Homewood Suites building
to be located on the western portion of the subject lot In order to reduce the potential for
differential settlement in areas of cut/fill transitions, we recommend the entire cut portion of
the transition building pad be overexcavated and replaced with properly compacted fill to
mitigate the transition The overexcavation of the cut portion of the buildings pad should be
a minimum 5 feet below the proposed building finished pad grades All overexcavations
should extend across the entire buildable portion of the lot and at least 5 feet beyond the
building perimeter
5.3 Foundation and Slab Considerations
Foundations and slabs should be designed in accordance with structural considerations
and the following recommendations Foundation design depends on the earthwork
activity and success in mitigating for the highly expansive soils previously described
Various options are described in Section 5 1 5 above Recommendations for shallow
spread footings assume that the soil encountered within 5 feet of pad grade have utilized
selective giadmg resulting m soil with an Expansion Index tested to be less than 70
within the upper 5 feet of finished grade In this case, additional expansion testing must
be performed as part of the fine grading operations. If highly expansive soils are
encountered and selective grading cannot be accomplished, additional foundation design,
including post tensioned, mat, or other specialty foundation may be necessary.
-13-
Leighton
600550-001
5.3.1 Shallow Spread Footings Foundations
The proposed structures may be supported by conventional, continuous perimeter,
or isolated spread footings. Footings should extend a minimum of 24 inches
beneath the lowest adjacent finish grade At these depths, footings founded in
properly compacted fill soils may be designed for a maximum allowable bearing
pressure of 3,000 psf The allowable pressures may be increased by one-third
when considering loads of short duration such as wind or seismic forces The
minimum recommended width of footings is 18 inches for continuous footings
and 24 inches for square or round footings Footings should be designed in
accordance with the structural engineer's requirements and have a minimum
reinforcement of four No 5 reinforcing bars (two top and two bottom).
5.3.2 Floor Slabs
The slab-on-grade should be at least 5 inches thick and be reinforced with No 3
rebars 18 inches on center or No 4 rebars at 24 inches on center each way
(minimum) placed at mid-height in the slab. Slabs should be underlain by a
minimum of 2 inches of clean sand (sand equivalent greater than 30) which is in
turn underlain by a vapor barrier and inches of clean sand The vapor barrier should
be sealed at all penetrations and laps Moisture vapor transmission may be
additionally reduced by use of concrete additives Moisture barriers can retard, but
not eliminate moisture vapor movement from the underlying soils up through the
slabs We recommend that the floor covering installer test the moisture vapor flux
rate prior to attempting applications of the flooring "Breathable" floor coverings
should be considered if the vapor flux rates are high A slip-sheet or equivalent
should be utilized above the concrete slab if crack-sensitive floor coverings (such as
ceramic tiles, etc) are to be placed directly on the concrete slab All waterproofing
measures should be designed by the project architect
'I he potential for slab cracking may be reduced by careful control of water/cement
ratios The contractor should take appropriate curing precautions during the
pouring of concrete in hot \veather to minimize cracking of slabs We recommend
that a shpsheet (or equivalent) be utilized if grouted tile, marble tile, or other
crack-sensitive floor covering is planned directly on concrete slabs All slabs
should be designed in accordance with structural considerations If heavy vehicle
-14-
Leighton
600550-001
or equipment loading is proposed for the slabs, greater thickness and increased
reinforcing may be required
5.3.3 Post-Tensioned Foundation System
We recommend that the post-tensioned slabs for highly expansive soils be designed
in accordance with the following design parameters presented in Table 1 and the
criteria of the 2001 edition of the California Building Code (CBSC, 2001).

minimum depth of 24 inches below adjacent grade may be designed for a maximum
allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 psf if founded in properly compacted fill soils
The perimeter edge should extend at least 24 inches below the lowest adjacent
grade. The allowable pressures may be increase by one-third when considering loads
of short duration such as wind or seismic forces
5.3.4 Mat Foundation
A soil modulus of 100 pounds per cubic inch is recommended for design of the mat
foundation. The mat foundation should be designed by the project structural
engineer
-15-
Leighton
600550-001
5.3.5 Foundation Setback
We recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance from the face of slopes
for all structural footings and settlement-sensitive structures. This distance is
measured from the outside edge of the footing, horizontally to the slope face (or to
the face of a retaining wall) and should be a minimum of H/2, where H is the
slope height (in feet) Please note that the soils within this structural setback area
possess poor lateral stability, and improvements (such as retaining walls,
sidewalks, fences, pavements, etc.) constructed within this setback area may be
subject to lateral movement and/or differential settlement
5.3.6 Settlement
The recommended allowable bearing capacities are based on a maximum total and
differentia] settlement of 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch, respectively, with all footings
founded m competent artificial fill material Since settlements are a function of
footing size and contact bearing pressures, some differential settlement can be
expected between adjacent columns or walls where a large differential loading
condition exists However, for most cases, differential settlements are considered
unlikely to exceed 1/2 inch and should be generally be less than 1/4 inch
5-3.7 Slab Subqrade Moisture Conditioning
The slab subgrade soil underlying the post-tensioned or conventional foundation
system should be presoaked in accordance with the recommendations presented in
Table 2 prior to placement of the moisture barrier and slab concrete The subgrade
soil moisture content should be checked by a representative of Leighton and
Associates prior to slab construction

Presoaking Recommendations
Optimum moisture content to a
depth of at least 6 inches
3 percent above optimum to a depth
of at least 24 inches
Presoaking or moisture conditioning may be achieved in a number of ways But
based on our professional experience, we have found that minimizing the
moisture loss on pads that have been completed (by periodic wetting to keep the
upper portion of the pad from drying out) and/or berming the lot and flooding for
a short period of time (days to a few weeks) are some of the more efficient ways
to meet the presoaking recommendations If flooding is performed, a couple of
days to let the upper portion of the pad dry out and form a crust so equipment can
be utilized should be anticipated
5.4 Geochemical Considerations
Concrete m direct contact with soil or water that contains a high concentration of soluble
sulfates can be subject to chemical deterioration commonly known as "sulfate attack "
Soluble sulfate results (Appendix C) indicated a negligible soluble sulfate content Refer
to CBSC, 2001, Table 19-A-4 for cement requirements
Minimum resistivity and pli tests were performed on representative samples of onsite
soils (Appendix C) Based on our results, the site soils have a moderate to highly
corrosive potential to buried uncoated metal conduits The test results should be provided
to the conduit supplier We recommend further review be performed by a corrosion
engineer
5.5 Control of Ground Water and Surface Water
Subsurface water was not encountered during our recent investigation, however, our
experience indicates that shallow ground water/perched ground water conditions can
develop in areas where no such ground water conditions existed prior to site development,
-17-
€
Leighton
600550-001
recommend that sections be as nearly square as possible. A mix that provides a 600 psi
modulus of rupture should be utilized The actual pavement design should also be in
accordance with City of Carlsbad and ACI criteria. All pavement section matenals should
conform to and be placed in accordance with the latest revision of the Greenbook and
American Concrete Institute (ACI) codes and guidelines.
Prior to placing the AC or PCC pavement section, the upper 12 inches of subgrade soils
and all aggregate base should have relative compaction of at least 95 percent (based on
ASTM Test Method D1557).
If pavement areas are adjacent to heavily watered landscape areas, we recommend some
measure of moisture control be taken to prevent the subgrade soils from becoming
saturated It is recommended that the concrete curb separating the landscaping area from
the pavement extend below the aggregate base to help seal the ends of the sections where
heavy landscape watering may have access to the aggregate base Concrete swales should
be designed in roadway or parking areas subject to concentrated surface runoff
5 7 Swimming Pool Design Considerations
571 Swimming Pool
It has been our experience that swimming pools located on expansive or adjacent
to cut/fill transition are extremely susceptible to movement The following design
considerations will reduce the impact of the differential settlement and expansive
soil-related and forces but will not eliminate movement The following items
should be taken into consideration in the design and construction of the swimming
pool
• Heavy-duty pipes and couplings should be used for the pool plumbing system
to minimize leaking, which may produce additional local high pressures to the
pool shell
• Installation of a pressure release valve system beneath the pool bottom should
be considered
• The pool contractor should provide a sufficient level of inspection and control
to assure that approved pool plans and specifications are implemented during
construction
-19-
Leighton
600550-001
• Observation/testing should be performed by a geotechnical consultant during
pool excavation to verify that exposed soil conditions are consistent with the
design assumptions.
• The pool designer should assume highly expansive soils and include adequate
reinforcement to minimize the potential of cracks in the pool shell and
deckings
• The pool shell/wall within 10 feet of the top of the existing slope should be
designed to support the water in the pool without soil support (CBSC, 2001)
5.7.2 Pool Deck
We recommend that pool decks be a minimum of 5-inches thick, reinforced with
No, 3 rebars at 18 inches on center each way, and underlain by a layer of granular
material (i e Caltrans aggregate base material, decomposed granite, etc) The
granular material should be a minimum of 4-mches thick at the edge of the pool
and thicken away from the pool with a minimum 2 percent fall at its base away
from the pool The deck should have appropriate crack control and expansion
joints to reduce the potential for the formation of cracks as the deck responds to
the underlying expansive soil, if present In general, the construction joints should
be a minimum of 5 feet on center each way and extend to a depth of at least 1/3 of
the concrete thickness The joints should not cut the rebar reinforcement Special
attention should be given to ensure that the joint between the pool decking and
pool coping is properly sealed with a flexible, watertight caulking to prevent water
infiltration
In addition, we recommend that the pool deck subgrade be compacted to a
minimum of 90 percent of the maximum dry density (ASTM Test Method
D1557) The subgrade soil should then be thoroughly moisture conditioned to at
least 3 percent above the optimum moisture content to a depth of 18 inches prior
to placement of the granular material and concrete We recommend that
presaturation of subgrade soil be verified by the geotechnical consultant prior to
placement of granular material The granular material should then be placed on
the moisture-conditioned subgrade and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of
the maximum dry density (ASTM Test Method D1557) Special attention should
be given to ensure that the plumbing trenches for the pool are properly backfilled
and tested for compaction (i e , 90 percent relative compaction based on ASTM
Test Method D1557) at a moisture content of at least 3 percent above optimum

5.8 Landscaping and Post-Construction
Landscaping and post-construction practices exert significant influences on the integrity of
structures founded on expansive soil. Improper landscaping and post-construction practices,
which are beyond the control of the geotechnical engineer, are frequently the primary cause
of distress to these structures Recommendations for proper landscaping and post-
construction practices are provided in the following paragraphs within this section.
Adhering to these recommendations will help in minimizing distress due to expansive soil,
and in ensuring that such effects are limited to cosmetic damages, without compromising
the overall integrity of proposed structures.
Initial landscaping should be done on all sides adjacent to the foundation of a structure or
associated improvements, and adequate measures should be taken to ensure drainage of
water away from the foundation or improvement If larger, shade providing trees are
desired, such trees should be planted away from structures or improvements (at a minimum
distance equal to half the mature height of the tree) in order to prevent penetration of the
tree roots beneath the foundation of the structure or improvement
Locating planters adjacent to buildings or structures should be avoided as much as possible
If planters are utilized in these locations, they should be properly designed so as to prevent
fluctuations in the moisture content of the subgrade soil Planting areas at grade should be
provided with appropriate positive drainage Wherever possible, exposed soil areas should
be above paved grades Planters should not be depressed below adjacent paved grades
unless provisions for drainage, such as catch basins and drains, are made Adequate
drainage gradients, devices, and curbing should be provided to prevent runoff from adjacent
pavement or walks into planting areas
Watering should be done in a uniform, systematic manner as equally as possible on all sides
of the foundation, to keep the soil moist Irrigation methods should promote uniformity of
moisture m planters and beneath adjacent concrete tlatwork Overwatenng and
underwatenng of landscape areas must be avoided Areas of soil that do no have ground
cover may require more moisture, as they are more susceptible to evaporation Ponding or
trapping of water in localized areas adjacent to the foundations can cause differential
moisture levels in subsurface soil and, therefore, should not be allowed Trees located
within a distance of 20 feet of foundations would require more water in periods of extreme
drought, and in some cases, a root injection system may be required to maintain moisture
equilibrium During extreme hot and dry periods, close observations should be carried out
around foundations to ensure that adequate watering is being undertaken to prevent soil
from separating or pulling back from the foundation

5.9 Lateral Earth Pressures and Retaining Wall pesign Considerations
The recommended lateral pressures for very low to low expansive soil (expansion index less
than 50 per CBC 18-I-B) and level or sloping backfill are presented on Table 4.
Table 4

2 1 Sloping Backfill

350
Embedded structural walls should be designed for lateral earth pressures exerted on them
The magnitude of these pressures depends on the amount of deformation that the wall can
yield under load If the wall can yield enough to mobilize the full shear strength of the soil, it
can be designed for "active" pressure If the wall cannot yield under the applied load, the
shear strength of the soil cannot be mobilized and the earth pressure will be higher Such
walls should be designed for "at-rest" conditions If a structure moves toward the soil, the
resulting resistance developed by the soil is the "passive" resistance The passive earth
pressure values assumes sufficient slope setback (see Section 434)
For design purposes, the recommended equivalent fluid pressure for each case for walls
founded above the static ground water and backfilled with import soil of very low to low
expansion potential or the onsitc soil is provided in Table 4 The equivalent fluid pressure
values assume free-draining conditions If conditions other than those assumed above are
anticipated, the equivalent fluid pressure values should be provided on an individual-case
basis by the geotechmcal engineer Surcharge loading effects from the adjacent structures
should be evaluated by the geotechmcal and structural engineer All retaining wall structures
should be provided with appropriate drainage and appropriately waterproofed The outlet
pipe should be sloped to dram to a suitable outlet Typical wall drainage design is illustrated
in Appendix B
Foi sliding resistance, the friction coefficient of 0 35 may be used at the concrete and soil
interface In combining the total lateral resistance, the passive pressure or the fnctional
resistance should be reduced by 50 percent Wall footings should be designed in accordance
with structural considerations. The passive resistance value may be increased by one-third
when considering loads of short duration such as wind or seismic loads The horizontal
distance between foundation elements providing passive resistance should be a minimum of
-22-
Leighton
600550-001
three times the depth of the elements to allow full development of these passive pressures
The total depth of retained earth for design of cantilever walls should be the vertical distance
below the ground surface measured at the wall face for stem design or measured at the heel
of the footing for overturning and sliding.
Wall back-cut excavations should be made in accordance with the applicable OSHA
requirements. The backfill soil (having an expansion index less than 50 per CBC 18-1-B)
should be compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction (based on ASTM Test
Method D1557) at moisture content of at least 2 percent above optimum. The walls should
be constructed and backfilled as soon as possible after back-cut excavation Prolonged
exposure of back-cut slopes may result in some localized slope instability
Foundations for retaining walls in competent formational soil or properly compacted fill
should be embedded at least 18 inches below lowest adjacent grade At this depth, an
allowable bearing capacity of 2,000 psf may be assumed
5.10 Concrete Flatwork
Concrete sidewalks and other flatwork (including construction joints) should be designed
by the project civil engineer or architect and should have a minimum thickness of 5 inches
For all concrete flatwork, the upper 18 inches of subgrade soil should be moisture
conditioned to at least 3 percent above optimum moisture content and compacted to at
least 90 percent relative compaction based on ASTM Test Method D1557 prior to the
concrete placement
5.11 Construction Observation and Plan Review
Construction observation of all onsite excavations and field density testing of all
compacted fill should be performed by a representative of this office so that construction
is in accordance with the recommendations of this report We recommend that
excavations be geologically mapped by the geotechnical consultant during grading for the
presence of potentially adverse geologic conditions Project grading and foundation
drawings should be reviewed by Leighton and Associates, Inc before excavation to see
that the recommendations provided in this report are incorporated in the project plans

6.0 LIMITATIONS
The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based in part upon data that
were obtained from a limited number of observations, site visits, excavations, samples, and tests
Such information is by necessity incomplete. The nature of many sites is such that differing
geotechnical or geological conditions can occur within small distances and under varying
climatic conditions Changes in subsurface conditions can and do occur over time Therefore, the
findings, conclusions, and recommendations presented in this report can be relied upon only if
Leighton has the opportunity to observe the subsurface conditions during grading and
construction of the project, in order to confirm that our preliminary findings are representative
for the site

Summary of Laboratory Test Results from this Investigation
Expansion Index (ASTM D 4829)
The expansion potential of selected materials was evaluated by the Expansion Index Test, U B C
Standard No. 18-2. Specimens are molded under a given compactive energy. The prepared 1-inch
thick by 4-inch diameter specimens are loaded to an equivalent 144 psf surcharge and are inundated
with tap water until volumetric equilibrium is reached The results of these tests are presented in the
table below

Direct Shear Tests. Direct shear tests were performed on selected remolded and/or undisturbed
samples which were soaked for a minimum of 24 hours under a surcharge equal to the applied
normal force during testing After transfer of the sample to the shear box, and reloading the sample,
pore pressures set up in the sample due to the transfer were allowed to dissipate for a period of
approximately 1 hour prior to application of shearing force The samples were tested under various
normal loads, a motor-driven, strain-controlled, direct-shear testing apparatus at a strain rate of less
than 0 001 to 0 5 inches per minute (depending upon the soil type) The test results are presented in
the test data

LEIGHTON AND ASSOCIATES, INC
GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING SPECIFICATIONS FOR ROUGH GRADING
1 0 General
1.1 Intent These General Earthwork and Grading Specifications are for the grading and
earthwork shown on the approved grading plan(s) and/or indicated in the geotechnical
report(s) These Specifications are a part of the recommendations contained in the
geotechnical report(s) In case of conflict, the specific recommendations in the
geotechnical report shall supersede these more general Specifications Observations of the
earthwork by the project Geotechnical Consultant during the course of grading may result
in new or revised recommendations that could supersede these specifications or the
recommendations in the geotechnical report(s)
12 The Geotechnical Consultant of Record Prior to commencement of work, the owner shall
employ the Geotechnical Consultant of Record (Geotechnical Consultant) The
Geotechnical Consultants shall be responsible for reviewing the approved geotechnical
report(s)and accepting the adequacy of the preliminary geotechnical findings, conclusions,
and recommendationspnor to the commencement of the grading
Prior to commencement of grading, the Geotechnical Consultant shall review the "vvoik
plan" prepared by the Earthwork Contractor (Contractor) and schedule sufficient personnel
to perform the appropriate level of observation, mapping, and compaction testing
During the grading and earthwork operations, the Geotechnical Consultant shall observe,
map, and document the subsurface exposures to verify the geotechnical design
assumptions If the observed conditions are found to be significantly different than the
interpreted assumptions during the design phase, the Geotechnical Consultant shall inform
the owner, recommend appropriate changes in design to accommodate the observed
conditions, and notify the review agency where required Subsurface areas to be
geotechmcally observed, mapped, elevations recorded, and/or tested include natural ground
after it has been cleared for receiving fill but before fill is placed, bottoms of all "remedial
removal" areas, all key bottoms, and benches made on sloping ground to receive fill
The Geotechnical Consultant shall observe the moisture-conditiomngand processing of the
subgrade and fill materials and perform relative compaction testing of fill to determine the
attained level of compaction The Geotechnical Consultant shall provide the test results to
the owner and the Contractor on a routine and frequent basis

GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING SPECIFICATIONS
Page 2 of 6
1 3 The Earthwork Contractor The Earthwork Contractor (Contractor) shall be qualified,
experienced, and knowledgeable in earthwork logistics, preparation and processing of
ground to receive fill, moisture-conditioning and processing of fill, and compacting fill
The Contractor shall review and accept the plans, geotechmcal report(s), and these
Specifications prior to commencement of grading The Contractor shall be solely
responsible for performing the grading in accordance with the plans and specifications
The Contractor shall prepare and submit to the owner and the Geotechmcal Consultant a
work plan that indicates the sequence of earthwork grading, the number of "spreads" of
work and the estimated quantities of daily earthwork contemplated for the site prior to
commencement of grading The Contractor shall inform the owner and the Geotechmcal
Consultant of changes in work schedules and updates to the work plan at least 24 hours in
advance of such changes so that appropriate observations and tests can be planned and
accomplished The Contractor shall not assume that the Geotechmcal Consu Itant is aware
of all grading operations
The Contractor shall have the sole responsibility to provide adequate equipment and
methods to accomplish the earthwork in accordance with the applicable grading codes and
agency ordinances, these Specifications, and the recommendations in the approved
geotechmcal report(s) and grading plan(s) If, in the opinion of the Geotechmcal
Consultant, unsatisfactory conditions, such as unsuitable soil, improper moisture condition,
inadequate compaction, insufficient buttress key size, adverse weather, etc , are resulting in
a quality of work less than required in these specifications, the Geotechmcal Consultant
shall reject the work and may recommend to the owner that constiuctionbe stopped until
the conditions are rectified
2 0 Preparation of Areas to be Filled
2 I Clearing and Grubbing Vegetation, such as brush, grass, roots, and other deleterious
material shall be sufficiently removed and properly disposed of in a method acceptable to
the owner, governing agencies, and the Geotechmcal Consultant
The Geotechmcal Consultant shall evaluate the extent of these removals depending on
specific site conditions Earth fill material shall not contain more than 1 percent of organic
materials (by volume) No fill lift shall contain more than 5 percent of organic matter
Nesting of the organic materials shall not be allowed
If potentially hazardous materials arc encounteied, the Contractor shall stop work in the
affected area, and a hazardous material specialist shall be informed immediately for proper
evaluation and handling of these materials prior to continuing to work in that area
As presently defined by the State of California, most refined petroleum products (gasoline,
diesel fuel, motor oil, grease, coolant, etc ) have chemical constituents that are considered
to be hazardous waste As such, the indiscriminate dumping or spillage of these fluids
onto the ground may constitute a misdemeanor, punishable by fines and/or imprisonment,
and shall not be allowed
