Lange Residence, Acuna Court
Carlsbad, California
Gentlemen:
In accordance with your request, GeoSoils, Inc. has performed a
preliminary geotechnical study for the proposed residential
development at the subject property. The purpose of our study was
to evaluate the nature of earth materials underlying the property
and to provide recommendations for grading, foundation design and
construction based on our findings.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject parcel is an approximately 150' X 150' vacant lot
located on the north side of Acuna Court, A.P.N. 215-491-20, in
the Community of La Costa, City of Carlsbad, California (Figure
1). The site appears to have been brushed at sometime in the
past and currently supports a sparse growth of grasses and small

shrubs. In addition, the site has been utilized as a borrow for
soil and dump site for oversized material, apparently by
neighboring residential construction projects.
The parcel slopes gently to the south at gradients of 12: 1 or
flatter resulting in sheet flow drainage to the southwest, where
runoff is then directed along Acuna Court.
A small cut slope approximately 2 to 3 feet in height is present
along the property line fronting Acuna Court.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Information concerning the proposed development, is indicated on
the site plan provided by John S. Beery and Associates. This
1/8"=1.0' scale plan is utilized as the base for the enclosed
Geotechnical Map (Plate 1).
The proposed development is anticipated to consist of importing
fill materials to the site to attain the desired pad
configuration, utilizing limited cut/fill grading. As proposed,
residential construction is to consist of a two story wood frame
residential structure with driveway access from Acuna Court.

FIELD EXPIDRATION
MARCH 25, 1991 PAGE 3
Subsurface conditions were explored by excavating six exploratory
test pits with a backhoe. Test pits ranged from 2 to 5 feet in
depth. Excavation depths were limited by refusal on hard rock.
Logs of the test pits are included with this report in Appendix
11. Field exploration was performed on October 18, 1990 by a
staff geologist who logged the test pits and obtained samples of
representative materials for laboratory testing. The approximate
locations of the exploratory test pits are indicated on the
enclosed Geotechnical Map (Plate 1).
EARTH MATERIALS
Earth materials within the subject area consist of topsoil,
volcanic bedrock and scattered concentrations of dump fill. A
review of regional geologic maps indicate that the onsite bedrock
belongs to the Jurassic age Santiago Peak Volcanics (Eisenberg,
1983; Tan, 1987).
Dump Fill:
Dump fill onsite consists of scattered surficial concentrations
of large boulders and discontinuous thin (less than 1/2 feet
thick), veneers of olive brown, clayey sand. In its present
condition dump fill is not suitable for structural support. A
majority of the oversized material (greater than 8 inches in
GeoSoiIs, Inc.
MR. WALTER LANGE
W.O. 1250-SD
MARCH 25, 1991
PAGE 4
diameter) will likely need to be exported from the building site,
as fill depths are not sufficient to accommodate this material.
The remaining dump fill (less than 8 inches in diameter) may be
used as fill, provided it is removed and moisture conditioned
prior to placement.
Topsoil :
Topsoil onsite consists of a thin surficial veneer of material
which varies from one half to two feet thick. Topsoil consists
of a reddish gray brown to red brown, dry, loose sandy silt with
cobble and gravel sized angular bedrock fragments. Occasionally,
irregular zones of red brown sandy clay occur along the base of
the topsoil section. Topsoil may be used as fill material
provided it is removed and moisture conditioned prior to
placement.
Bedrock:
Bedrock material of the Santiago Peak Volcanics underlies the
site and consists of red brown and yellow brown, dry, dense,
fractured volcanic rock which weathers to angular cobbly silty
sand. Cobble size fragments are commonly 3 to 5 inches in long
dimension. In the southeast portion of the property, bedrock is
red brown to blue gray, fractured volcanic rock weathering to
cobbly silty sand. Bedrock excavation produces cobble to boulder
sized material.

Refusal on hard rock occurred in all test pits. Depth to refusal
was highly irregular and varied by one to two feet within
individual test pit excavations. Average refusal depth is
approximately 3 to 4 feet.
GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was not encountered in any of our test pits and is
not anticipated to affect site development. These observations
reflect site conditions at the time of this investigation and do
not preclude changes in local groundwater conditions in the
future from heavy irrigation or precipitation.
FAULTING AND REGIONAL SEISMICITy
No known active or potentially active faults are shown on
published maps in the vicinity of the site (Jennings, 1975). No
evidence for faulting was encountered in any of our exploratory
excavations.
There are a number of faults in the Southern California area
which are considered active and which would have an effect on the
site in the form of ground shaking, should they be the source of
an earthquake. These include the San Andreas Fault, the San
Jacinto Fault, the Elsinore Fault and the Coronado Bank Fault
GeoSoils, Inc.
MR. WALTER LANGB
W.O. 1250-SD
MARCH 25, 1991 PAGE 6
Zone. Recent studies in the vicinity of Rose Creek suggest that
the Rose Canyon Fault is probably active.
The possibility of ground acceleration (Greensfelder, 1974), or
shaking, at the site may be considered as approximately similar
to the Southern California region as a whole. The relationship
of the site location to the major mapped faults within Southern
California is indicated on the Fault Map of Southern California
(Figure 2). Repeatable high ground acceleration (Ploessel and
Slosson, 1974) on the property will likely not exceed 0.19g
assuming a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on the Elsinore Fault, 23
miles northeast of the site or 0.23g assuming a magnitude 6.5 on
the Rose Canyon Fault located 8 miles to the west. Given the
relatively greater degree of historic seismicity along the
Elsinore Fault, the Elsinore Fault is considered most significant
to site design.
Other Hazards Considered:
The following listing includes other seismic related hazards that
have been considered for our evaluation of the site. These
hazards are considered negligible and/or completely mitigated as
a result of typical site development procedures:
* Surface Fault Rupture * Ground Lurching or Shallow Ground Rupture * Liquefaction * Seismic settlement or consolidation * Potential for tsunamis * Seiche

LABORATORY TESTING
MARCH 25, 1991 PAGE 7
General
Laboratory tests were performed on selected samples to evaluate
physical characteristics of representative on site materials.
ly
To determine the compaction character of representative samples
of onsite soils, laboratory testing was performed in accordance
with ASTM Test Method D-1557-76. The maximum density and optimum
moisture content from these tests are summarized below:
Location DescriDtion xaximum Density Optimum Density hcf) Moisture %
Composite brown, silty 127.5 Topsoil gravel & sand 12.5
Emansion Tests
A swell test was performed on a remolded sample of near surface
soil. The sample was prepared at 80 percent of the optimum
moisture and at 90 percent of the maximum dry density, placed
under a 60 pound per square foot surcharge, and submerged in
water for 24 hours. The percent swell was then recorded as the
amount of vertical rise compared to the original one inch sample
height.

An expansion index test was also performed on a sample of the
near surface material. Testing was performed in accordance with
Standard 29-2 of the Uniform Building Code.
Test results are summarized below:
Location Swell % Enansion Index Emansion Potential
Composite 5.1
Topsoil 25 moderate/low
Shear Test
A shear test was performed on a remolded soil sample in a strain
control-type direct shear machine. The rate of deformation was
approximately 0.05 inches per minute. The sample was sheared and
resheared under varying confining loads in order to determine the
Coulomb shear strength parameters, cohesion, and angle of
internal friction. The sample was tested in an artificially
saturated condition. The result of this test is plotted on the
enclosed Shear Test Diagram (Plate SH-1).
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering
and geological analysis, it is our opinion that the project site
is suited for the proposed development from a geotechnical
engineering and geologic viewpoint, provided that the
GeoSoils, Inc.

recommendations presented below are incorporated into the final
design, grading and construction phase of development.
The most pertinent geotechnical condition affecting the proposed
construction are:
1) Rock hardness and rippability.
2) suitability of onsite soils for use as fill material.
3) Presence of a cut/fill transition across the building pad.
4) Depth of utilities with respect to rock hardness (particularly sewer).
5) Graded slope stability.
The recommendations provided below consider these as well as
other aspects of the site.
The engineering analysis concerning site preparation and the
recommendations presented below, have been completed using the
information provided to us regarding site development. In the
event that the information concerning the proposed development is
not correct, or any changes in the design, location or loading
conditions of the proposed structures are made, the conclusion
and recommendations contained in the report shall not be
considered valid unless the changes are reviewed and conclusions
of this report are modified or approved in writing by this
office.

EIARCH 25, 1991 PAGE 10
Removals
Debris, vegetation and other deleterious material should be
removed from the site prior to the start of construction.
Prior to placement of any structural fills, all existing topsoil
and dump fill should be removed to expose underlying competent
bedrock. The depth of removals are anticipated to be on the
order of 2+ feet. Locally deeper removals may be encountered.
Due to the cut/fill transition, which will be created during
earthwork operations, we recommend overexcavation of the cut
portion of the building pad to a minimum depth of 3 feet below
proposed grade. Laterally this overexcavation should extend a
minimum of 5 feet beyond the building envelope, to provide more
uniform foundation support conditions for the structure.
All removal areas should be observed by a representative of this
office to evaluate if adequate removal depths have been obtained.
When removals are completed, the exposed surface should be
scarified, moisture conditioned and recompacted.
Subsequent to ground preparation and overexcavation, the
excavated onsite and/or import soils may be placed in thin (65
inch) lifts, cleaned of vegetation and debris, brought to at
least optimum moisture content, and compacted to a minimum
relative compaction of 90 percent of the laboratory standard.

Rock Hardness
Difficult excavation may be anticipated within the volcanic
bedrock. Utilizing a Case 580E backhoe refusal on hard rock
occurred at shallow depths (approximately 2 to 5 feet) in all of
our test pits. Considering this, it should be anticipated that
special equipment or methods (i.e., blasting, jack hammers, etc.)
may be needed to: 1) complete the recommended building pad
overexcavation, 2) to complete the excavation for the proposed
pool and 3) to excavate for utility trenches. It is likely the
pad overexcavation for the building could be completed with a D-6
dozer or equivalent, however, it is probable that special
equipment or blasting may be needed to complete the pool
excavation dependent upon depth. Care should be taken when
completing these excavations not to damage existing improvements
and/or over excavate/blast slopes.
It should be anticipated that over size fill material will be
generated. Oversize material may need to be exported from the
site as fill depths are rather limited.
Fill Suitability
Topsoil and dump fill (excluding oversize material) should
produce good quality fill material. Volcanic rock on site will
produced highly variable fill materials. The upper weathered
portion, which can be excavated by ripping, should produce
reasonably good quality fill with some oversized rock. Harder,
CeoSoifs, Inc.
MR. WALTER LANGE
W.O. 1250-SD MARCH 25, 1991 PAGE 12
less weathered material will likely generate poor quality fill
containing minimal fines. Locally occurring boulders and hard
zones, possibly requiring special equipment, blasting, a rock
breaker or a rock saw should be anticipated. Any areas where
blasting is required would likely produce poor to fair quality
fill due to oversize material. Oversized material may be placed
in non-structural areas, mixed with crushed or mined on-site
materials, mixed with imported granular material or exported from
the site.
Trenching for utilities may be difficult in areas of deeper
excavations. This can be mitigated by overexcavating to below
the depth of proposed utilities and replacing the excavated
material with compacted fill. This should be considered and
evaluated during earthwork construction.
SloDes
Fill slopes:
A maximum 7f foot high fill slope is proposed along the southwest
side of the pad area. As proposed the slope will vary from a 3
to 1 (horizontal to vertical) gradient on the south to a 2 to 1
gradient on the west. A 12-15 feet wide keyway is recommended at
the toe of the slope. The keyway should be excavated to
competent bedrock material and tilted back into slope. The
proposed fill slope is considered stable.
GeoSoils, Inc.
MR. WALTER LANGE
W.O. 1250-SD
MARCH 25, 1991
PAGE 13
Cut SloDes
A maximum 6+ foot high 2 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) gradient
cut slope is proposed along the northeast side of the pad area.
The cut slope is anticipated to expose a thin layer of topsoil
and weathered and fractured bedrock overlying less weathered
volcanic bedrock. Due to the fractured nature of the bedrock,
care should be taken to remove all loose material from the slope
face during construction. Cut slopes should be evaluated for
adverse conditions (fractures, etc.) by a representative of this
office during slope construction. If adverse conditions are
significant, buttressing of the cut slope or some type of
retaining structure may be necessary. Excluding the possibility
of adverse geologic conditions, the proposed cut slope is
considered stable but should be evaluated during earthwork
construction.
All slopes should be designed and constructed in accordance with
the minimum requirements of the City of Carlsbad and the Uniform
Building Code.
Gradincr Guidelines
As proposed soil is to be imported to the site for use as
compacted fill, it should be evaluated by this office prior to
importing. If import soil is more expansive than onsite soil,
increased foundation design should be anticipated.
GeoSolls, Inc.
MR. WALTER LANGE
W.O. 1250-SD MARCH 25, 1991
PAGE 14
Any earthwork should be performed in accordance with the
recommendations presented in this report, the guidelines
presented in Appendix I, requirements of the City of Carlsbad and
to the minimum standards of Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building
Code.
RECOMMENDATIONS-FOUNDATIONS
General
The foundation design and construction recommendations are based
on preliminary laboratory testing and engineering analysis of
onsite earth materials. Final recommendations will need to be
specifically based on the nature of the import material,
evaluating its expansion potential and bearing value. Import
material should not be highly expansive.
Desim
1. Conventional spread and continuous strip footings may
be used to support the proposed structure provided they
are founded entirely in properly compacted fill or
competent bedrock materials.
2. Preliminary analysis indicates that an allowable bearing
value of 1750 pounds per square foot may be used for design
of continuous footings which maintain a minimum width of 12
inches and a minimum depth of at least 18 inches into the

properly compacted fill or competent bedrock materials. The
bearing value may be increased by one-third for seismic or
other temporary loads.
A coefficient of friction of 0.4 may be used for the rough
concrete surface and compacted material or bedrock.
Passive earth pressure may be computed as an equivalent
fluid having a density of 200 pounds per cubic foot with a
maximum earth pressure of 2500 pounds per square foot.
When combining passive pressure and frictional resistance,
the passive pressure component should be reduced by one-
third.
All footings should maintain a minimum 7 foot horizontal set
back from the base of the footing and any descending slope.
Construction
Based upon our observations and test data, moderately expansive
soil exists onsite. The following preliminary recommendations
assumes that low to moderately expansive soils are imported to
the site.
1. Exterior footings should be founded at a minimum depth of 18
inches below the lowest adjacent ground surface. Interior
footings may be founded at a depth of 12 inches below the
lowest adjacent ground surface. All footings should be

reinforced with four No. 4 reinforcing bars, two placed near
the top and two placed near the bottom of the footing.
2. A grade beam, reinforced as above, and at least 12 inches
wide should be provided across large entrances. The base of
the grade beam should be at the same elevation as the bottom
of adjoining footings.
3. Where moisture condensation is undesirable, concrete slabs
should be underlain with a vapor barrier consisting of a
minimum of six mil polyvinyl chloride or equivalent membrane
with all laps sealed. This membrane should be placed
between a minimum of one inch layers of sand to aid in
uniform curing of the concrete.
4. Concrete slabs, should be reinforced with six inch by six
inch, No. 6 by No. 6 welded wire mesh (6 x 6, W2.9 x W2.9)
or No. 3 reinforcement bars placed on 18 inch centers in two
directions. All slab reinforcement should be supported to
ensure positioning near the vertical midpoint of the slab.
5. Presaturation is recommended for these soil conditions. The
moisture content of the subgrade soils should be equal to or
grater than optimum moisture to a depth of 18 inches below
grade in the slab areas and verified by this office within
48 hours of pouring slabs and prior to placing visqueen or
reinforcement.

Retainins Walls
General :
The design parameters provided below assume that low to
moderately expansive soils are used to backfill any retaining
walls. If high to very highly expansive soils are used to
backfill the proposed walls, increased active and at-rest earth
pressures will need to be utilized for retaining wall design.
Foundations for retaining walls should be designed in accordance
with the recommendations presented in the preceding Foundation
Design section except where otherwise noted.
Restrained Walls:
Any retaining walls that will be restrained prior to placing and
compacting backfill material, should be designed for at-rest
equivalent fluid pressures of 55 pcf, plus any applicable
surcharge loading.
Building walls, below grade, should be water-proofed or damp-
proofed, depending on the degree of moisture protection desired.
Cantilevered Walls:
The recommendations presented below are for cantilevered
retaining walls up to 15 feet high.
Active earth pressure may be used for retaining wall design,
provided the top of the wall is not restrained from minor
deflections. An equivalent fluid pressure approach may be used
CeoSoiZs, Inc.
MR. WALTER LANGE W.O. 1250-SD MARCH 25, 1991

to compute the horizontal pressure against the wall. Appropriate
fluid unit weights are given below for specific slope gradients
of the retained material. These do not include other
superimposed loading conditions such as traffic, structures,
seismic events or adverse geologic conditions.

Wall Backfill and Drainage:
All retaining walls should be provided with an adequate backdrain
and outlet system, to prevent buildup of hydrostatic pressures
and be designed in accordance with minimum standards of the City
of Carlsbad. In addition, gravel used in backdrain systems
should be a minimum of 12 inches of Class I1 filter material or
3/8 to 3/4 inch clean crushed rock wrapped in filter fabric. The
surface of the backfill should be sealed by pavement or the top
24 inches compacted with native soil. Proper surface drainage
should also be provided.
POST GRADING CRITERIA
Swimminu Pool Desicm
The design parameters provided in the foundation design section
of this report may be utilized.
GeoSoils, Inc.
MFt. WALTER LANGE
W.O. 1250-SD
MARCH 25, 1991 PAGE 19
The swimming pool should be founded entirely on compacted fill or
undisturbed Santiago Peak Formation, or designed as a free
standing pool.
Active earth pressures should be utilized for the design of the
pool walls (i.e. swimming pool and spa).
An equivalent fluid pressure approach may be used to compute the
horizontal pressure against the walls. Considering the potential
variation in expansion potential of the imported soil and native
soil, we would recommend that representatives of GeoSoils, Inc.
observe the pool excavation. Based on the materials exposed in
the pool excavation appropriate equivalent fluid pressures could
then be provided. As an alternative, the pool could be designed
to account for the expansive soil, utilizing an equivalent fluid
pressure of 55 pcf for level backfill., This equivalent fluid
pressure does not include other'superimposed loading conditions.
The pools should be properly designed by a structural consultant.
Leakage from swimming pools, spa and ponds, or any appurtenant
plumbing, will create an artificial ground water condition which
could result in various problems; therefore, it is imperative
that the pools and associated appurtenant plumbing be absolutely
leak free. If they are not constructed as completely leak free,
a subdrain should be constructed beneath the pools. PO01
placement and construction should be such that it does not
adversely affect surface drainage.

placement, regrading of the site, or trench backfilling after
rough grading has been completed. This includes completion of
grading in the street and parking areas, and utility trench and
retaining wall backfills.
Footinq Trench Excavation
All footing trench excavations should be observed by a
representative of this office prior to placing reinforcement.
Footing trench spoil and any excess soils generated from utility
trench excavations should be compacted to a minimum relative
compaction of 90 percent if not removed from the site.
Drainaqe
Positive site drainage should be maintained at all times.
Drainage should not flow uncontrolled down any descending slope.
Water should be directed away from foundations and not allowed to

pond and/or seep into the ground. Pad drainage should be
directed toward the street or other approved area. Due to the
nature of on site soils, combined with the hardness and
permeability of the bedrock, local areas of seepage may develop
due to irrigation or heavy rainfall. Minimizing irrigation will
lessen this potential. If areas of seepage develop,
recommendations for minimizing this effect could be provided upon
request.
Utility Trench Backfill
Utility trench backfill should be placed to the following
standards:
1. Ninety percent of the laboratory standard.
2. For the interior of the slab, it is recommended that 90
percent relative compaction be obtained. Observation,
probing, and if deemed necessary, testing may be required to
verify adequate results.
3. Exterior trenches, paralleling a footing and extending below
a 1 : 1 plane projected from the outside bottom edge of the
footing should be compacted to 90 percent of the laboratory
standard. Sand backfill should not be allowed in these
trench backfill areas. Density testing along with probing
should be accomplished to verify the desired results.

4. All trench excavations should conform to all applicable
local safety codes.
PLAN REVIEW
Final grading and foundation plans should be submitted to this
off ice for review and comment as they become available, to
minimize any misunderstandings between the plans and
recommendations presented herein. In addition, foundation
excavations and earthwork construction performed on the site
should be observed and tested by this office. If conditions are
found to differ substantially from those stated, appropriate
recommendations would be offered at that time.
LIMITATIONS
The materials encountered on the project site and utilized in our
laboratory study are believed representative of the area;
however, soil and bedrock materials vary in character between
excavations and natural outcrops or conditions exposed during
mass grading.
Since our study is based upon the site materials observed,
selective laboratory testing and engineering analysis, the
conclusion and recommendations are professional opinions.

GRADING GUIDELINES
CeoSoils, Inc.
GRADING GUIDELINES
Grading should be performed to at least the minimum requirements
of the governing agencies, Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building
Code and the guidelines presented below:
Site clearing
Trees, dense vegetation, and other deleterious materials should
be removed from the site. Non-organic debris or concrete may be
placed in deeper fill areas under direction of the Soil Engineer.
Light, dry grasses may be thinly scattered and incorporated into
the fill under direction of the Soils Engineer, provided
concentrations of organics are not developed.
subdrainacre
1. Subdrainage systems should be provided in all canyon
bottoms and within buttress and stabilization fills
prior to placing fill. Subdrains should conform to
schematic diagrams GS-1, GS-3, and GS-4, approved by
the Soils Engineer.
For canyon subdrains, runs less than 500 feet may use six
inch pipe. Runs in excess of 500 feet should have the lower
end as eight inch minimum.
2. Filter material should be Class 2 permeable filter
material per California Department of Transportation
Standards tested by the Soil Engineer to verify its
suitability. A sample of the material should be
provided to the Soil Engineer by the contractor at
least two working days before it is delivered to the
site. The filter should be clean with a wide range of
sizes. As an alternative to the Class 2 filter, the
material may be a 50/50 mix of pea gravel and clean
concrete sand which is well mixed, or clean gravel
wrapped in a suitable filter fabric.
3. An exact delineation of anticipated subdrain locations
may be determined at 40 scale plan review stage.
GeoSoils, Inc.
MR. w.0 WALTER LANGE MARCH 25, 1991 . 1250-SD GRADING GUIDELINES PAGE 2
During grading,the Engineering Geologist should
evaluate the necessity of placing additional drains.
4. All subdrainage systems should be observed by the
Engineering Geologist and Soils Engineer during
construction and prior to covering with compacted fill.
5. Consideration should be given to having subdrains
located by the project surveyors. Outlets should be
located and protected.
Treatment of Existina Ground
1.
2.
3.
All heavy vegetation, rubbish and other deleterious
materials should be disposed of off site.
All surficial deposits of alluvium and colluvium should
be removed (see Plate GS-1) unless otherwise indicated
in the text of this report. Groundwater existing in the
alluvial areas may make excavation difficult. Deeper
removals than indicated in the text of the report may
be necessary due to saturation during winter months.
Subsequent to removals, the natural ground should be
processed to a depth of six inches, moistened to near
optimum moisture conditions and compacted to fill
standards.
Fill Placement
1. All site soil and bedrock may be reused for compacted
fill; however, some special processing or handling may
be required (see report).
2. Material used in the compacting process should be
evenly spread, moisture conditioned, processed, and
compacted in thin lifts not to exceed six inches in
thickness to obtain a uniformly dense layer. The fill

MR. WALTER LANGB EIARCH 25, 1991
W.O. 1250-SD GRADING GUIDELINES PAGE 3
should be placed and compacted on a horizontal plane,
unless otherwise found acceptable by the Soil Engineer.
3. If the moisture content or relative density varies from
that acceptable to the Soil Engineer, the Contractor
should rework the fill until it is in accordance with
the following:
a) Moisture content of the fill should be at or above
distributed without wet and dry pockets. Pre-watering optimum moisture. Moisture should be evenly
of cut or removal areas should be considered in addition to watering during fill placement, particularly in clay or dry surficial soils.
b) Each six inch layer should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum density in compliance with the
governmental agency. In this case, the testing method testing method specified by the controlling
is ASTM Test Designation D-1557-78.
4. Side-hill fills should have an equipment-width key at their
toe excavated through all surficial soil and into competent
material and tilted back into the hill (GS-2, GS-6). As the
fill is elevated, it should be benched through surficial
soil and slopewash, and into competent bedrock or other
material deemed suitable by the Soil Engineer.
5. Rock fragments less than eight inches in diameter may
be utilized in the fill, provided:
a) They are not placed in concentrated pockets;
b) There is a sufficient percentage of fine-grained
material to surround the rocks:
c) The distribution of the rocks is supervised by the
6. Rocks greater than eight inches in diameter should be
taken off site, or placed in accordance with the
recommendations of the Soil Engineer in areas
designated as suitable for rock disposal (See GS-5).

GRADING GUIDELINES PAGE 4
7. In clay soil large chunks or blocks are common; if in excess
of eight (8) inches minimum dimension then they are
considered as oversized. Sheepsfoot compactors or other
suitable methods should be used to break the up blocks.
8. The Contractor should be required to obtain a minimum
relative compaction of 90 percent out to the finished
slope face of fill slopes. This may be achieved by
either overbuilding the slope and cutting back to the
compacted core, or by direct compaction of the slope
face with suitable equipment.
If fill slopes are built "at grade" using direct compaction
methods then the slope construction should be performed so
that a constant gradient is maintained throughout
construction. Soil should not be "spilled" over the slope
face nor should slopes be "pushed out" to obtain grades.
Compaction equipment should compact each lift along the
immediate top of slope. Slopes should be back rolled
rolled approximately every 4 feet vertically as the slope is
built.
Density tests should be taken periodically during grading on
the flat surface of the fill three to five feet horizontally
from the face of the slope.
In addition, if a method other than over building and
cutting back to the compacted core is to be employed, slope
compaction testing during construction should include
testing the outer six inches to three feet in the slope face
to determine if the required compaction is being achieved.
Finish grade testing of the slope should be performed after
construction is complete. Each day the Contractor should
receive a copy of the Soil Engineer's "Daily Field
GeoSolls, Inc.

12.
Fill over cut slopes should be constructed in the following
manner:
a) All surficial soils and weathered rock materials should be removed at the cut-fill interface.
b) A key at least 1 equipment width wide and tipped at
competent materials and observed by the soils engineer least 1 foot into slope should be excavated into
or his representative.
c) The cut portion of the slope should be constructed prior to fill placement to evaluate if stabilization is necessary, the contractor should be responsible for any additional earthwork created by placing fill prior to cut excavation.
Transition lots (cut and fill) and lots above stabilization
fills should be capped with a three foot thick compacted
fill blanket.
Cut pads should be observed by the Engineering
Geologist to evaluate the need for overexcavation and
replacement with fill. This may be necessary to reduce
water infiltration into highly fractured bedrock or
other permeable zones,and/or due to differing expansive
potential of materials beneath a structure. The
overexcavation should be at least three feet. Deeper
overexcavation may be recommended in some cases.
Exploratory backhoe or dozer trenches still remaining
after site removal should be excavated and filled with
compacted fill if they can be located.
Gradinq observation and Testinq
1. Observation of the fill placement should be provided by
the Soil Engineer during the progress of grading.

In general, density tests would be made at intervals
not exceeding two feet of fill height or every 1,000
cubic yards of fill placed. This criteria will vary
depending on soil conditions and the size of the fill.
In any event, an adequate number of field density tests
should be made to evaluate if the required compaction
and moisture content is generally being obtained.
Density tests may be made on the surface material to
receive fill, as required by the Soil Engineer.
Cleanouts, processed ground to receive fill, key
excavations,subdrains and rock disposal should be
observed by the Soil Engineer prior to placing any
fill. It will be the Contractor's responsibility to
notify the Soil Engineer when such areas are ready for
observation.
An Engineering Geologist should observe subdrain
construction.
An Engineering Geologist should observe benching prior
to and during placement of fill.
Utilitv Trench Backfill
Utility trench backfill should be placed to the following
standards:
1. Ninety percent of the laboratory standard if native
material is used as backfill.
2. As an alternative, clean sand may be utilized and
flooded into place. No specific relative compaction
would be required: however, observation, probing, and
if deemed necessary, testing may be required.
CeoSoils, Znc.
MR. WALTER UGE MARCH 25, 1991 W.O. 1250-SD GRADING GUIDELINES PAGE 7
3. Exterior trenches, paralleling a footing and extending
below a 1:l plane projected from the outside bottom
edge of the footing, should be compacted to 90 percent
of the laboratory standard. Sand backfill, until it is
similar to the inplace fill, should not be allowed in
these trench backfill areas.
Density testing along with probing should be accomplished to
verify the desired results.
JOB SAFETY
General :
At GeoSoils, Inc., getting the job done safely is of primary
concern. The following is the company's safety considerations
for use by all employees on multi-employer construction sites.
On ground personnel are at highest risk of injury and possible
fatality on grading construction projects. The company
recognizes that construction activities will vary on each site
and that job site safety is the contractor's responsibility.
However, it is, imperative that all personnel be safety conscious
to avoid accidents and potential injury.
In an effort to minimize risks associated with geotechnical
testing and observation, the following precautions are to be
implemented for the safety of our field personnel on grading and
construction projects.
1. Safetv Meetinas: Our field personnel are directed to attend the contractor's regularly scheduled safety meetings.
2. Safetv Vests: Safety vests are provided for and are to be worn by our personnel where warranted.
3. Safetv Flaas: Two safety flags are provided to our field technician: one is to be affixed to the vehicle when on site, the other is to be placed atop the spoil pile on all test pits.
In the event that the contractor's representative observes any of
our personnel not following the above, we request that it be

brought to the attention of our office.
25, 1991
Test Pits Location, Orientation and Clearance:
The technician is responsible for selecting test pit locations.
The primary concern is the technician's safety. However, it is
necessary to take sufficient tests at various location to obtain
a representative sampling of the fill. As such, efforts will be
made to coordinate locations with the grading contractors
authorized representatives (e.g. dump man, operator, supervisor,
grade checker, etc.), and to select locations following or behind
the established traffic pattern, preferable outside of current
traffic. The contractors authorized representative should direct
excavation of the pit and safety during the test period. Again,
safety is the paramount concern.
Test pits should be excavated so that the spoil pile is placed
away from oncoming traffic. The technician's vehicle is to be
placed next to the test pit, opposite the spoil pile. This
necessitates that the fill be maintained in a driveable
condition. Alternatively, the contractor may opt to park a piece
of equipment in front of the test pits, particularly in small
fill areas or those with limited access.
A zone of non-encroachment should be established for all test
pits (see Plate GS-7). No grading equipment should enter this
zone during the test procedure. The zone should extend
approximately 50 feet outward from the center of the test pit.
This zone is established both for safety and to avoid excessive
ground vibration which typically decreases test results.
When taking slope tests, the technician should park their vehicle
directly above or below the test location on the slope. The
contractor's representative should effectively keep all equipment
at a safe operation distance (e.g. 50 feet) away from the slope
during testing.
GeoSoils, Inc.
MR. WALTER LANGE HARCIi 25, 1991
W.O. 1250-SD
GRADING GUIDELINES PAGE 9
The technician is directed to withdraw from the active portion of
the fill as soon as possible following testing. The technician's
vehicle should be parked at the perimeter of the fill in a highly
visible location.
In the event that the technician's safety is jeopardized or
compromised as a result of the contractor's failure to comply
with any of the above, the technician is directed to inform both
the developer's and contractor's representatives. If the
condition is not rectified, the technician is required, by
company policy, to immediately withdraw and notify their
supervisor. The grading contractors representative will then be
contacted in an effort to effect a solution. No further testing
will be performed until the situation is rectified. Any fill
placed in the interim can be considered unacceptable and subject
to reprocessing, recompaction or removal.
In the event that the soil technician does not comply with the
above or other established safety guidelines, we request that the
contractor brings this to technicians attention and notify our
the project manager or office. Effective communication and
coordination between the contractors' representative and the
field technician(s) is strongly encouraged in order to implement
the above safety program and safety in general.
The safety procedures outlined above should be discussed at the
contractor's safety meetings. This will serve to inform and
remind the equipment operators of these safety procedures
particularly the zone of non-encroachment.
Trench Safety:
It is the contractor's responsibility to provide safe access into
trenches where compaction testing is needed.

GRADING GUIDELINES PAGE 10
Our personnel are directed not to enter any excavation which 1)
is 5 feet or deeper unless shored or laid back, 2) displays any
evidence of instability, has any loose rock or other debris which
could fall into the trench, or 3) displays any other evidence of
any unsafe conditions regardless of depth.
All utility trench excavations in excess of 5 feet deep, which a
person enters, are to be shored or laid back.
Trench access should be provided in accordance with OSHA
standards. Our personnel are directed not to enter any trench by
being lowered or "riding down" on the equipment.
If the contractor fails to provide safe access to trenches for
compaction testing, our company policy requires that the soil
technician withdraw and notify their supervisor. The contractors
representative will then be contacted in an effort to effect a
solution. All backfill not tested due to safety concerns or
other reasons could be subject to reprocessing and/or removal.
