Subject: FINAL REPORT OF TESTING AND OBSERVATION
SERVICES PERFORMED DURING SITE GRADING
QUARRY CREEK LOTS 5 AND 6
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
Dear Mr. Robson:
In accordance with your request, we have performed compaction testing and observation services
during grading for Quarry Creek Lot 5 and Lot 6. We performed our services during the period of
August 17, 2015 through February 17, 2016. The grading of Lots 5 and 6 was performed concurrently
with the grading of the overall Quarry Creek project. Our scope of services included the following:
Observing the grading operation, including processing the upper surface of unsuitable soil and
the placement of compacted fill.
Performing in-place density tests in fill placed and compacted at the site.
Performing laboratory tests to aid in evaluating compaction characteristics of various soil
conditions encountered.
Preparing an as-graded geologic map.
Preparing this final report of grading.
The purpose of this report is to document that the grading of subject project has been performed in
substantial conformance with the recommendations of the project update geotechnical report.
GENERAL
The Quarry Creek site is located south of State Route 78 and west of College Boulevard in the city
of Carlsbad, California. Lot 5 is located at the northwest corner of the overall Quarry Creek
development, west of area R-2. Lot 6 is located on the north end of the property, north of Haymar

Drive (see Vicinity Map, Figure 1). Lot 5 is an open space lot. Lot 6 is a park and ride. No
buildings are planned for either lot.
LB3 Enterprises Incorporated performed the grading. Project Design Consultants prepared the grading
plans titled Mass Grading Plans for Quarry Creek, HDP 11-04, Drawing No. 484-5A, Carlsbad
California, with a City of Carlsbad approval date of June 4, 2015. Geocon Incorporated prepared the
project geotechnical report titled Update Geotechnical Investigation, Quarry Creek,
Carlsbad/Oceanside, California, dated February 24, 2015 (Project No. 07135-42-05) and Update
Report, Quarry Creek Lot 6, Carlsbad, California, dated January 18, 2018.
We used an AutoCAD file of the grading plans provided by the project civil engineer as the base map
to present as-graded geology and the approximate locations of in-place density tests (Figure 2).
References to elevations and locations herein are based on surveyors’ or grade checkers’ stakes in the
field, elevation shots taken with a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit by the grading contractor,
and/or interpolation from the referenced grading plan. Geocon Incorporated does not provide
surveying services and, therefore, expresses no opinion regarding the accuracy of the as-graded
elevations or surface geometry with respect to the approved grading plans or proper surface drainage.
GRADING
Recent Grading
Grading covered under this report consisted of cuts of less than 5 feet and fills up to approximately
30 feet. In Lot 5 alluvium and undocumented fills were removed exposing Santiago Formation or
Terrace Deposits. Areas receiving compacted fill in Lot 5 were scarified, moisture conditioned, and
compacted prior to placing fill. Fill soils were then placed and compacted in layers until design
elevations were attained. Fills were placed in lifts no thicker than would allow for adequate bonding
and compaction. Grading generally resulted in an approximately three-foot-thick soil cap that
generally consists of very low to medium expansive materials. In general, fill materials placed during
grading consist of clayey to silty sand and silty to sandy clay.
In Lot 6 cuts of 1-foot or less were made at the east end and fills of approximately 2 feet or less were
made throughout the remainder of the lot. Geocon was not called out to observe the grading in Lot 6,
which occurred after the completion of mass grading in the overall Quarry Creek development.
In Lot 5, oversize rock and concrete (material > 6 inches) was placed during grading. The oversize
material was keep at least three feet below design finish grade. Oversize rock was spread out within
the compacted fill areas such that soil around the oversize rock could be compacted by the grading
Project No. 07135-42-05 - 3 - May 20, 2020
equipment. Although particular attention was given to restricting oversize material placement to the
criteria described above, some oversize chunks could be present in the upper portions of the fill areas.
During the grading operation, we observed compaction procedures and performed in-place density
tests to evaluate the dry density and moisture content of the fill material. We performed in-place
density tests in general conformance with ASTM D 6938, Standard Test Method for In-Place Density
and Moisture Content of Soil and Soil-Aggregate by Nuclear Methods. A summary of in-place density
and moisture content tests are presented on Table I. Other units within the Quarry Creek development
were graded concurrently with Lot 5. Therefore, the field density tests shown on Table I are not in
sequential order.
Where fill soil contained rock larger than ¾-inch, a correction was made to the laboratory maximum
dry density and optimum moisture content using methods suggested by AASHTO T224. The values of
maximum dry density and optimum moisture content presented on Table I reflect these corrections.
In general, in-place density test results indicate fill soils have a dry density of at least 90 percent of the
laboratory maximum dry density at or slightly above optimum moisture content at the locations tested.
The approximate locations of in-place density tests taken during grading specific to the project are
shown on Figure 2.
We performed laboratory tests on samples of soil used for fill to evaluate moisture-density
relationships, optimum moisture content and maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557). Results of the
laboratory tests are summarized on Table II.
Slopes
Fill slopes constructed during grading have an approximate inclination of 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) or
flatter, with maximum height of approximately 38 feet.
The outer approximately 15 feet of fill slopes were constructed with granular soil and were either
over-filled and cut back or were track-walked with a dozer during grading, in substantial conformance
with the recommendations of the project geotechnical report. The project slopes have a calculated
factor of safety of at least 1.5 under static conditions with respect to both deep-seated failure and
shallow sloughing conditions.
All slopes should be planted, drained, and maintained to reduce erosion. Slope irrigation should be
kept to a minimum to just support the vegetative cover. Surface drainage should not be allowed to
flow over the tops of slopes.

SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
In general, the soil and geologic conditions encountered during grading were found to be similar to
those described in the referenced project geotechnical report.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1.0 General
1.1 Based on observations and test results, it is the opinion of Geocon Incorporated that grading
observed by Geocon Incorporated has been performed in substantial conformance with the
recommendations of the referenced project geotechnical reports. Soil and geologic
conditions encountered during grading that differ from those anticipated by the project
geotechnical reports are not uncommon. Where such conditions required a significant
modification to the recommendations of the project geotechnical reports, they have been
described herein.
1.2 No soil or geologic conditions were observed during grading that would preclude the
continued development of the property as planned. Based on laboratory test results and field
observations, it is our opinion that the fill soils placed during grading have been compacted
to at least 90 percent relative compaction.
1.3 References to fill thickness or capping of pads are approximate and may be affected by
subsequent fine grading to achieve proper surface drainage.
2.0 Future Grading
2.1 Any additional grading performed at the site should be accomplished in conjunction with
our observation and compaction testing services. Geocon Incorporated should review
grading plans for any future grading prior to finalizing. All trench and wall backfill should
be compacted to a dry density of at least 90 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density
near or to slightly above optimum moisture content. This office should be notified at least
48 hours prior to commencing additional grading or backfill operations.
3.0 Slope Maintenance
3.1 Slopes steeper than 3:1 (horizontal:vertical) may be susceptible to near-surface slope
instability. Surficial slope failures are difficult to predict and prevent. The instability is
typically limited to the outer 3 feet of a portion of the slope and usually does not directly
impact the improvements on the pad areas above or below the slope. The occurrence of
surficial instability is more prevalent on fill slopes and is generally preceded by a period of
Project No. 07135-42-05 - 5 - May 20, 2020
heavy rainfall, excessive irrigation, or the migration of subsurface seepage. The disturbance
and/or loosening of the surficial soils, as might result from root growth, soil expansion, or
excavation for irrigation lines and slope planting, may also be a significant contributing
factor to surficial instability. It is therefore recommended that, to the maximum extent
practical: (a) disturbed/loosened surficial soils either be removed or properly recompacted,
(b) irrigation systems be periodically inspected and maintained to eliminate leaks and
excessive irrigation, and (c) surface drains on and adjacent to slopes be periodically
maintained to preclude ponding or erosion. It should be noted that although the
incorporation of the above recommendations should reduce the potential for surficial slope
instability, it will not eliminate the possibility, and, therefore, it may be necessary to rebuild
or repair a portion of the project's slopes in the future.
4.0 Site Drainage and Moisture Protection
4.1 Adequate site drainage is critical to reduce the potential for differential soil movement,
erosion and subsurface seepage. Under no circumstances should water be allowed to pond
adjacent to footings. The site should be graded and maintained such that surface drainage is
directed away from structures in accordance with 2013 CBC 1803.3 or other applicable
standards. In addition, surface drainage should be directed away from the top of slopes into
swales or other controlled drainage devices. Roof and pavement drainage should be directed
into conduits that carry runoff away from the proposed structure.
LIMITATIONS
The conclusions and recommendations contained herein apply only to our work with respect to
grading, and represent conditions at the date of final observation on February 17, 2016. Any
subsequent grading should be done in conjunction with our observation and testing services. As used
herein, the term "observation" implies only that we observed the progress of the work with which we
agreed to be involved. Our services did not include the evaluation or identification of the potential
presence of hazardous or corrosive materials. Our conclusions and opinions as to whether the work
essentially complies with the job specifications are based on our observations, experience and test
results. Subsurface conditions, and the accuracy of tests used to measure such conditions, can vary
greatly at any time. We make no warranty, expressed or implied, except that our services were
performed in accordance with engineering principles generally accepted at this time and location.
We will accept no responsibility for any subsequent changes made to the site by others, by the
uncontrolled action of water, or by the failure of others to properly repair damages caused by the
uncontrolled action of water. It is the responsibility of owner to ensure that the information and
recommendations contained herein are brought to the attention of the architect and engineer for the
project, are incorporated into the plans, and that the necessary steps are taken to see that the contractor
