INTRODUCTION
February 27, 2017
Revised April 20, 2020
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
This report presents the findings and conclusions of a geotechnical investigation
conducted at the site of a five-unit condominium building on subject property, located at 2569
Roosevelt Street, in the City of Carlsbad, State of California.
Subject property is more specifically referred to as being a portion of Lot No. 22 of Seaside
Lands, according to Map thereof No. 1722 (APN 203-101-35-00).
The location of the property is shown on Figure No. 1, entitled, "Site Location Map".
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
It is our understanding that the existing older residence and detached garage on the site
will be demolished to accommodate the proposed development, which will consist of a 5-unit
condominium building complex. The proposed structures will consist of 2 stories of
condominium space over a parking level; of wood-frame/stucco and slab-on-grade construction.

The objectives of the investigation were to inspect and determine the subsurface
Page2
geotechnlcal conditions and certain physical engineering properties of the soils beneath the site,
and to evaluate any potential adverse geotechnical conditions that could affect the proposed
project, in order that engineering recommendations could be presented relative to the safe and
economical development of the site; and checking and design of foundation for the proposed
structures .
In order to accomplish these objectives, three exploratory trenches were excavated and
inspected, and representative samples of the subsurface soils were collected for laboratory
testing and analysis.
The data derived from the field observations and laboratory test results were reviewed
and analyzed, and a summary of our preliminary findings, opinions and recommendations is
presented in this report .
FIELD INVEmGATION
The field exploratory phase of our Investigation was performed on February 8, 2017, and
involved a reconnaissance of the property and the excavation of three exploratory trenches with
a tractor-mounted backhoe equipped with a 24-lnch bucket •
The exploratory trenches were excavated at accessible locations on the site where the

most useful information relative to subsurface geotechnical conditions may be obtained. The
exploratory trenches were excavated to depths varying from 8 to 10 feet below existing ground
surface. The location of the exploratory trenches is shown on Figure No. 2, entitled,
"Approximate Location of Exploratory Trenches".
The soil types encountered in the exploratory trenches were recorded at the time of
excavation, and is shown on Figure Nos. 3 to 5, inclusive, each entitled, ''Trench Log Sheet'' •
The soils were visually and texturally classified by the field identification procedures set
forth on the Unified Soil Classification Chart. Representative samples were obtained at various
depths in the exploratory trenches.
LABORATORY TESTS
The samples collected during our field investigation were subjected to various tests in the
laboratory to evaluate their engineering characteristics. The tests were performed in accordance
with current A.S.T.M. testing standards or other regulatory agency testing procedures. A
summary of the tests that were performed and the final test results are presented in Appendix II
hereto .
SITE DESCRIPTION
Subject property is a rectangular-shaped lot of 9,642 square feet, situated on the
west side of Roosevelt Street, approximately 200 feet south of Laguna Drive. The topography

of the general area may be described as relatively level; with surface drainage in a southwesterly
direction towards the rear of the property.
An older residence and detached garage previously occupy the site. All existing structures
and Improvements had been demolished and removed as of this date.
The property is located in a developed area of Carlsbad. The site is bounded on the east
by Roosevelt Street; and on the north, west and south by existing commercial buildings.
PROPOSED SITE DEVELOPMENT
Site development will consist of the construction of five-unit condominium complex. The
proposed buildings will be 2 stories over a street level parking garage. The proposed structures
will be of wood-frame/stucco and slab-on-grade construction.
Minimum grading will be required for the development of the site. Earthwork quantities
will consist of 18 cubic yards of excavation; 489 cubic yards of fill, with 153 cubic yards of import .
Depth of fill will vary from one foot along the front of the property adjacent to Roosevelt Street,
to a maximum of 2 feet along the rear, west end of the property .
GENERAL GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE SOIL CONDITIONS
Regional and Local Geology
The subject property is located within the coastal section of the Peninsular Ranges
Geomorphic Province. The coastal section is underlain by a thick sequence of primarily marine

Pages
elastic sediments eroded from the Peninsular Ranges as a result of tectonic uplift that began In
the Cretaceous Period approximately 60 million years ago. That portion of the coastal province
in which the site is located is underlain by Tertiary and Quaternary marine sediments
The site Is immediately underlain by late Pleistocene marine terrace deposits correlated
withhold Old Paralic Deposits, Unit Nos. 6-7, estimated to be on the order of 20 feet thick. This
unit is underlain by the Eocene-age Santiago Formation (Tan and Kennedy, 1996) that consists of
massively to thinly bedded sandstone and siltstone. Published geologic maps of the Oceanside
Quadrangle (Tan and Kennedy, 1996) indicate that the Santiago Formation generally dips to the
north in this area at inclinations of 3 to 5 degrees.
On subject property, the late Pleistocene marine terrace deposits were encountered in
the form of medium dense to dense, brown silty fine sands. These marine terrace deposits were
overlain by a loose residual/topsoil layer on the order of 12 to 18 inches In thickness .
Faulting and Selsmiclty
The site is not located on or adjacent to an active or inactive fault. The closest active fault
Is the Rose canyon fault that lies offshore approximately two miles to the west. This fault is the
most significant fault to the site with respect to the potential for seismic activity. lindvall and
Rockwell (1995) have described the Rose Canyon fault system in terms of several segments that
each have distinctive earthquake potential. According to Llndvall and Rockwell (1995), the

Mission Bay and Del Mar fault segments are capable of generating Mw6.4 to Mw6.6 earthquakes,
respectively, with an estimated recurrence time of approximately 720 years for these events and
1,800 years for an earthquake event of Mw6.9 that would result from rupture of both segments
concurrently. Such an event could produce peak ground accelerations at the site of
approximately 0.6g (Joyner and Boore, 1982) .
The site will also be affected by seismic shaking as a result of earthquakes on major active
Faults located throughout the southern California area. Major reginal active faults include the
Elsinore, San Jacinto, and San Andreas Faults which lie approximately 25, SO, and 80 miles,
respectively, to the east. These regional faults will produce ground shaking of less intensity than
the Rose Canyon Fault because of their greater distance from the site.
GROUNDWATER
No groundwater was encountered In the exploratory trenches to the maximum depth of
exploration at 10 feet; and no groundwater was encountered to a depth of 25 feet at a nearby
site, approximately½ mile to the southwest. No major groundwater related problems, either
during or after construction, are anticipated. However, it should be recognized that minor
seepage problems may occur after development of a site even where none were present before
development. These are usually minor phenomena and are often the results of an alteration of
the permeability characteristics of the soils; an alteration in drainage patterns due to grading;

and an increase in the use of irrigation water. Based on the permeability characteristics of the
soils and anticipated usage of the development, it is our opinion that any seepage problems
which may occur will be minor in extent. It is further our opinion that these problems can be
most effectively corrected on an individual basis if and when they develop.
GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
Ground ShaklQI •-The most likely geologic hazard to affect the site is ground shaking as a result
of movement along one of the active fault zones mentioned above.
For seismic design purposes, soil parameters In accordance with the 2013 edition of the
California Building Code were determined, and presented hereinafter.
Surface Rupture -Surface rupture is the result of movement of an active fault reaching the
surface. According to available geologic maps, there are no earthquake faults on the property,
or in the general area, and no faults were observed during our site investigation •
Based on our observations and experience, It is our opinion that there is little probability
of surface rupture due to faulting beneath the site. However, lurching and ground cracking are
a possibility as a result of a significant seismic event on a regional active fault .
Uauefaction Potential -In consideration of the competent formational soils underlying the site;
the soil types encountered; and the lack of a high groundwater level, it is our opinion that the
-----------------------------------.. --

2569 Roosevelt Street
02/27/17
Revised 04/20/20
soil liquefaction does not present a significant geotechnical hazard to the proposed site
development.
Page8
Landslides Subject property is situated on level terrain and underlain by competent formational
soils. A review of available geologic maps did not reveal the presence of any ancient landslides
on subject or adjacent properties. The potential for landslides on subject or adjacent properties
Is considered minimal.
Tsunami Potential
The site lies at an elevation of approximately 46 feet msl and is located 480 feet(+/-) from
the southern edge of the Buena Vista Lagoon and 2,000 feet inland from the Pacific Ocean.
Reference to the Tsunami Inundation Map for Emergency Planning for the Oceanside and San
Luis Rey Quadrangle by the State of California Emergency Planning Agency and the California
Geological Survey (2009) indicates that the site lies 400 feet (+/-) from the maximum tsunami
inundation line along the south shore of Buena Vista Lagoon (Figure 1.a). We conclude,
therefore, that the proposed development will not be affected by tsunami during Its expected
structural life.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
1. Based on the results of the investigation, it is our opinion that the currently proposed site
development is feasible from a geotechnical engineering standpoint, provided that the

recommendations presented in this report are incorporated into the design plan(s) and
are properly implemented during the construction phase.
It Is noted that some of the recommendations may have to be modified and supplemental
recommendations may have to be presented, depending on the actual subsurface
conditions encountered during construction.
3. Site grading and earth work construction will not Impact the adjacent properties provided
our recommendations are incorporated into the final design and implemented during the
construction phase. Additional field recommendations, however, may also be necessary
and should be given by the project geotechnical consultant for the protection of adjacent
properties and should be anticipated.
Expansion Index of On-Site Soils
4. The soils encountered on the site possess very low expansion potential (Expansion Index=
11).
Sulfate Content of On-Site Soils
5. The soils encountered on the site are subject to negligible sulfate exposure (sulfate
content of 20).
Grading
6. It Is recommended that all earthwork be accomplished in accordance with the Grading

Ordinance of the City of carlsbad, current edition of the California Building Code,
Appendix I attached hereto, entitled, "General Grading and Earthwork Specifications",
and recommendations as presented in this Section.
Where the recommendations of this Section of the report conflict with those of Appendix
I, this Section of the report takes precedence.
Grading should begin with the demolition of the existing structures on the property, and
clearing and grubbing of the site. All debris should be hauled away and hauled away to a
City-approved dump site.
The upper residual/topsoils on the site are loose and compressible to depths as much as
18 inches. In addition, the upper soils will be further disturbed by the demolition of the
foundation of the existing structures along the front portion of the property. It is
therefore recommended that the on-site soils on the property be removed to a depth of
18 inches. The bottom of the over-excavation should be inspected by our firm. Any loose
or unsuitable material beneath this depth should be similarly removed. Upon approval,
the bottom of the eve-excavation should be scarified to a depth of 12 inches, properly
moistened, and uniformly recompacted, prior to the placement of any additional fill soils.
Additional fill soils will be required to achieve proposed finished grade. It is

recommended that these import fill soils consist of soils having low expansion potential
(expansion index< 50); and be approved at the borrow source by our firm prior to
importation.
11. The soils in the exploratory trenches were replaced without much effort in compaction.
12.
It is recommended that, during rough grading, the location of these exploratory trenches
be located. The backfill soils should then be removed and uniformly recompacted.
All fill soils are to be compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density at near
optimum moisture content in accordance with ASTM D1557.
13. Depths of fill on the project vary from one to 2 feet. In order to have uniform settlement
characteristics, it is recommended that all foundations be extended through the
compacted fill soils at least 12 inches into the underlying competent natural soils.
Foundation and Slab Design
14. It is recommended that a safe allowable soil bearing value of 2,000 pounds per square
foot be used for the design and checking of continuous footings that are 12 inches in
minimum horizontal dimension, and isolated pier footings that are 15 inches in minimum
horizontal dimension; and are embedded at least 18 inches below the lowest adjacent
ground surface, consisting of competent natural or properly compacted fill soils.

considering wind and/or seismic forces.
The settlement of foundation, when designed and loaded as outlined above, are expected
to be less than ¾ inch total and ½ inch differential over a span of 40 feet.
It is recommended that all continuous footings be reinforced with a minimum of 4 #5
rebars; two rebars located near the top, and the other two rebars near the bottom of the
footings. All isolated per footings should be reinforced with a minimum of 2 #5 rebars In
both directions, placed near the bottom of the footings.
The concrete slab-on-grade should be 5 inches in thickness, and be reinforced with #3
rebars @ 18 inches on center in both directions, placed at mid-height of concrete slab.
The slab reinforcement should extend Into the perimeter footings at least 6 inches.
Under-Slab Vapor Retarders
19. The concrete slab should be underlain by 4 inches of clean sand, a 10-mil plastic
membrane moisture barrier, and another Inch of clean sand cover. The seams of the
plastic membrane should be sealed and extend at least 12 inches down the sides of the
interior and perimeter footings. The membrane should be placed in accordance with the
recommendations and consideration of ACl302, "Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab-

Construction" and ASTM 1643, "Standard Practice for Installation of Water Vapor
Retarder Used in Contact with Earth or Granular Fill Under Concrete Slabs". The above
foundation and slab reinforcement recommendations are based on soil characteristics,
and should be superseded by the requirements of the project architect.
Retaining Wall Design
20. It is recommended that retaining walls be designed to withstand the pressure exerted by

The above values assume that the retaining walls have a granular backfill.
On-site soils having very low expansion potential should be used as backfill behind the
retaining walls. All backfill soils are to be compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum
dry density in accordance with ASTM 01557.
22. All retaining walls should be supplied with a backfill drainage system adequate to prevent

the buildup of hydrostatic pressure. The subdrain should consist of one-inch gravel and
a perforated pipe near the bottom of the retaining wall. The width of this subdraln should
be at least 12 inches, and extend atleast2/3 height of the retaining wall. The subdrain
should be enclosed In a geotextile fabric such as Mirafi 140N or equal. Manufactured
subdrain products such as Miradrain 2000 series or "J" Drain 400 series may also be used.
Seismic Earth Pressures
23. Seismic earth pressure for cantilever retaining wall can be taken as an inverted
triangular distribution with a maximum pressure at the top equal to 12H pound per
square foot (with H being the height of retained earth In feet). For restrained walls,
such as basement retaining walls, the seismic earth pressure should be increased to 17H
pound per square foot. The above pressures are in addition to the static design wall load.
The allowable passive pressure and bearing capacity can be increased by 1/3 in
determining the stability of the retaining wall. A factor-of-safety of 1.2 can be used in
determining the stability of the retaining wall under seismic conditions.
Lateral Loadlr)I
24. To resist lateral loads, it is recommended that the pressure exerted by an equivalent fluid
weight of 150 pounds per cubic foot be used for footings or shear keys poured neat
against competent natural or compacted fill soils. The upper 12 inches of material In areas
not protected by floor slabs or pavements should not be Included In the design for passive

resistance. This value assumes that the horizontal distance of the soil mass extends
at least 10 feet or three times the height of the surface generating the passive pressure,
whichever is greater.
A coefficient of sliding friction of 0.25 may be used for cast-in-place concrete over
competent natural or compacted fill soils. Footings can be designed to resist lateral loads
by using a combination of sliding friction and passive resistance. The coefficient of friction
should be applied to dead load forces only.
Temporary Excavations
26. Temporary excavations may be safely excavated at a vertical inclination for a height up to
5 feet. Above a height of 5 feet, the excavation should be flattened to a slope ratio of
1 : 1 (horizontal: vertical) or flatter.
27. The above conclusion assumes that no surcharge loads such as construction material are
stored above the vertical cut for a distance of at least 5 feet back from the face of the cut.
Seismic Coefficients
28. The seismic design factors were determined in accordance with 2019 California Building
Code, and presented on the following page :

29. In consideration of the on-site soil conditions, it is recommended that concrete flatwork
be a minimum of 3 ½ inches in thickness, and be reinforced with 6x6-Wl.4xW1.4 (6x6-
10/l0)welded wire fabric, placed at mid-height of concrete slab. One-inch expansion
joints should be provided at 15-foot intervals, with ¼ inch weakened plane contraction
joints at 5-foot intervals.
Surface Drainage and Maintenance
30. Adequate drainage control and proper maintenance of all drainage facilities are
imperative to minimize infiltration of surface water Into the underlying soil mass in order
to reduce settlement potential and to minimize erosion. ; the building pad should have
drainage swales which direct storm and excess irrigation water away from the structures
and Into the street gutters or other drainage facilities. No surface runoff should be
allowed to pond adjacent to the foundation of structures. Surface drainage should have

1.11 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 condition and processing of fill and
compacting fill. The Contractor shall review and accept the plans, geotechnical
report(s), and these Specifications prior to conunencement 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 Geotechnical
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
infonn the Owner and the Geotechnical Consultant of change 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 Geotechnical Consultant is aware of all grading
-operations . ..

improper moisture conditions, inadequate compactions, insufficient buttress key
size, adverse weather, etc. are resulting in a quality of work less than required in
these specifications, the Geotechnical Consultant shall reject the work and may
recommend to the Owner that construction be stopped until the conditions are
rectified.
Preparation of Areas to be Filled
2.1 Clearing and grubbing : vegetation, such as brush, grass, roots, and other
deleterious materials shall be sufficiently removed and properly disposed of in a
method acceptable to the Owner, governing agencies, and the Geotechnical
Consultant.
The Geotechnical 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 lifts shall contain more than S percent of
organic matter. Nesting of the organic materials shaU not be allowed.
If potentially hazardous materials are encountered, the Contractor shall stop work
in the affected areas, 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 de.fined 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 fine and/or imprisonment and shall not be allowed.
Materials used for filJ, either imported or on-site, shall not contain hazardous
materials as defined by the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4,
Chapter 30, Article 9 and 1 0; 40 CRF; and any other applicable local, state or
federal la\\--s. The Consultant shall not be responsible for the identification or
analysis of the potential presence ofhaz.ardous materials. However, if observations,
odors or soil discoloration cause Consultant to suspect the presence of haz.ardous
materials, the Consultant may request from the Owner the termination of grading
operations within the affected area. Prior to resuming grading operations, the
Owner shall provide a written report to the Consultant indicating that the suspected
materials are not haz.ardous as defined by applicable laws and regulations .

APPENDIX I Page 4
2.2 Any asphaltic pavement material removed during clearing operations should be
properly disposed of at an approved off-site facility. Concrete fragments which are
free of reinforcing steel may be placed in fills, provided that they are placed in
accordance with Section 3. I of this document.
2.3
2.4
During grading, soil or groundwater conditions other than those identified in the
Geotechnical Report may be encountered by the Contractor. The Consultant shall
be notified immediately to evaluate the significance of the unanticipated conditions.
Processing : Existing ground that has been declared satisfactory for support of fill
by the Geotechnical Consultant shall be scarified to a minimwn depth of 6 inches.
Existing ground that is not satisfactory shall be over-excavated as specified in the
following section. Scarification shall continue until soils are broken down and free
of large clay clumps or clods and the working surface is reasonable unifonn, flat,
and free of uneven features that would inhibit unifonn compaction.
2.5 Over-excavation : In addition to removals and over-excavations recommended in
the approved geotechnical report(s) and the grading plan, soft. loose, dry, saturated,
spongy, organic-rich highly fractured or otherwise unsuitable ground shall be over-
excavated to competent ground as evaluated by the Ocotechnical Consultant during
grading.
2.6 Benching : Where fills are to be placed on ground with slopes steeper than S : 1
(horizontal : vertical), 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 S : I
(horizontal : vertical) shall also be benched or otherwise over-excavated to provide
a flat subgrade for the fill.
2.7 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 Gcotechnical Consultant prior to fill placement A licensed
surveyor shall provide the survey control for detennining elevation of processed
areas, keys and benches .

APPENDIX I Page 5
3.0 Fill Material
3.1 General : Materials 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 materials.
3.2 Oversized Material : Oversize material defined as rock, or other irreducible
material with a maximwn dimension greater than 8 inches shall not be buried or
placed in fill unless location, materials and placement methods are specifically
accepted by the Geotecbnical Consultant. Placement operations shall be such that
nesting of oversized material does not occur and such that oversize material is
completely SlllTOunded by compacted or densified fill. Oversize material shall not
be placed within 10 vertical feet of finished grade or within 2 feet of future utilities
or underground construction.
3.3 Import : If importing of fill materials is required for grading, proposed import
material shall meet the requirements of Section 3.1 The potential import source
shall be given to the Oeotecbnical Consultant at least 48 hours (2 workiJ18 days)
before importing begins so that its suitability can be detennined and appropriate
tests perfonned.
4.0 Fill Placement and Compaction
4.1 Fill Layer : Approved fill material shall be placed in areas prepared to receive fill
(per Section 3.0) in near vertical layers generally not exceeding 8 inches in
thickness when compacted. The Geotechnical Consultant may accept thicker layers
if testing indicates that the grading procedure can adequately compact the thicker
layers. Each layer shall be spread evenly and mixed thoroughly to attain relative
uniformity of material and moisture throughout.
4.2 Fill Moisture Conditioning : Fill soils shall be water~ dried back blended, and/or
mixed as necessary to attain a relatively uniform moisture content at or slightly over
optimum. Maximum density and optimum moisture content tests shall be
performed in accordance with the American Society of Testing and Materials
(ASTM Test Method D1557) .
·'------------===========
APPENDIX I Page 6
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 D 1557). 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 unifonnity.
4.4 Compaction of Fill Slopes : In addition to normal compaction procedures specified
above, compaction of slopes shall be accomplished by backrolling of slopes with
sheepsfoot rollers at increment of 3 to 4 feet in fill elevation, or by other methods
producing satisfactory results acceptable to the Geotcchnical Consultant. Upon
completion of grading, relative compaction of the fill, out to the slope face, shall be
at least 90 percent ofmaximwn dry density per ASTM Test Method 01557.
4.5 Compaction Testing : Field tests for moisture content and relative compaction of
the fill soils shall be perfonned by the Geotechnical Consultant. Location and
frequency of tests shall be at the Consultant's discretion based on field conditions
encowitered. 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).
4/6 Frequency of Compaction Testing: Tests shall be taken at intervals not exceeding
2 feet in vertical rise and/or 1,000 cubic yards of compacted fill soils embankment.
In addition as a guideline, at least one test shall be taken on slope faces for each
5,000 square feet of slope face and/or each 10 feet of vertical height of slope. The
Contractor shall assure that fill construction is such that the testing schedule can be
accomplished by the Geotechnical Consultant. The Contractor shall stop or slow
down the earthwork construction if these minimum standards are not met.
4. 7 Compaction Test Locations : The Geotechnical Consultant shall document the
approximate elevation and horizontal coordinates of each test location. The
Contractor shall coordinate with the project surveyor to assure that sufficient grade
stakes are established so that the Geotecbnical Consultant cdan detennine the test
locations with sufficient accuracy. At a minimum. two grade stakes within a
horizontal distance ofl00 feet and vertically less than 5 feet apart from potential
test locations shall be provided.

5.0 Subdrain Installation
Subdrain systems shall be installed in accordance with the approved geotechnical report(s),
the grading plan, and the Standard Details. The Geotechnical Consultant may recommend
additional subdrains and/or changes in subdrain extent, location, grade, or material
depending on conditions encountered during grading. All subdrains shall be surveyed by
a land surveyor/civil engineer for line and grade after installation and prior to burial.
Sufficient time should be allowed by the Contractor for these surveys.
6.0 Excavation
7.0
Excavations, as well as over-excavation for remedial purpose, shall be evaluated by the
Geotechnical Consultant during grading. Remedial removal depths shown on geotechnical
plans are estimates only. The actual extent of removal shall be determined by the
Geotechnical Consultant based on the field evaluation of exposed conditions during
grading. Where fiU-overcut slopes are to be graded, the cut portion of the slopes shall be
made. evaluated, and accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant prior to placement of
materials for construction of the fill portion of the slope, unless otherwise recommended
by the Geotechnical Consultant.
Trench Backfill
