GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This report presents the results of a geotechnical investigation for the Poinsettia Shores development
located in the vicinity of Avenida Encinas and Windrose Circle in Carlsbad, California (see Vicinity
Map, Figure 1). The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate the surface and subsurface soil
and geologic conditions at the site and, based on the conditions encountered, to provide
recommendations relative to the geotechnical engineering aspects of project development.
The scope of the investigation included a review of the following:

Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
The scope of the field investigation consisted of a site reconnaissance by an engineering geologist
and the excavation of 10 exploratory borings and 12 trenches. Laboratory tests were performed on
selected soil samples obtained at various depths in the excavation to evaluate pertinent physical
properties. A detailed discussion of the field investigation and laboratory test results are presented
in Appendices A and B. The recommendations presented herein are based on an analysis of the data
obtained and experience with similar soil and geologic conditions.
SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The approximately 80-acre site is located just north of the Batiquitos Lagoon and east of Carlsbad
Boulevard in the City of Carlsbad, California. Interstate 5 and a residential subdivison bound the
site to the east, the 'Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe (AT&SF) railroad easement borders the site to
the west; a mobile home park to the north and Batiquitos Lagoon and a tributary containing a
desilting basin are located to the south and southwest of the project site. It is our understanding that
the south end of Avenida Encinas and the existing Windrose Circle were constructed in 1986 in
conjunction with the grading of the adjacent subdivision and Navigator Circle located to the
southeast of the site.
The balance of the site consists of a ridge within the central portion of the site and relatively flat—
lying areas at each side of the ridge. Site elevations range from a maximum of approximately 130
feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) near the eastern boundary to approximately 45 feet at the northwest
corner of the property. It is evident that the majority of the site had been subject to agricultural
-2-
Project No. 05318-12-01

use. The existing improvements within the site, beside Avenida Encinas Sand Windrose Circle
roadways and associated improvements, consist of the extension of the 12-inch-diameter sewer line
to which traverses north along the western property line and a 66-inch-diameter storm drain line
that traverses nOrth-south through the central portion of the site and into the desilting basin. An
8-inch water line (high lined) is also located within the west-central portion of the site along with
an overhead electric power line. Based on the information provided by O'Day Consultants, the
main storm drain, and that portion of the sewer line located along the railroad track, will remain
in operation and the balance of the existing utilities will eventually be relocated.
A review of the referenced tentative maps for all units indicates that project development will
consist of mass grading the site to accommodate a large subdivision comprised of single family,
condominium and multi-family residential structures. Interior streets and underground utilities
including force main sewer line and a sewer lift station are also planned. Avenida Encinas is
planned to be extended to Carlsbad Boulevard, including a bridge crossing the AT&SF railroad.
A separate geotechnical investigation report will be submitted for the road extension and bridge.
A review of the tentative maps for the project indicate that maximum cut and fill would be less
than 20 feet. These maps also sho that cut and fill slopes having a maximum height of 25 feet
at an inclination of 2:1 (horizontal :vertical) are planned.
The base map used in this study consisted of a 100-scale conceptual sheet-grading plan, untitled,
prepared by O'Day Consultants, and revise dated of March, 1994 (see Figure 2).

The above discussion is based on a site reconnaissance and a review of the referenced grading
study. It is understood that, as future development and grading plans progress, Geocon
Incorporated will be offered the opportunity for the review of these documents.
Soil and Geologic Conditions
The site was found to be underlain by undocumented fill, previously placed compacted fill, topsoils
and formational soils of the Terrace Deposits and the Santiago Formation. Each of these
formational and surficial units is described below. Their approximate areal extent is shown on the
Geologic Map, Figure 2.
Undocumented Fill (Oudf)
Undocumented fill soils were encountered within the southeastern portion of the site at the desilting
basin and as scattered pockets of end dump fill at different locations throughout the property. Based
on our experience, it is not uncommon for old fill areas to be present in areas utilized for
agriculture; however, their presence is masked by cultivation activities. Where fill soils are
encountered during grading, remediation will be required by removal and compaction.
Previously Placed Compacted Fill (0p f1 and Opf,)
It is our understanding that the fill associated with Avendia Encinas and Windrose Circle, and
associated sewer and water trench backfill, were placed in conjunction with testing and observation
-.4-
Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
of Woodward-Clyde Consultants, reported in October 27, 1986 (reference No. 5). These materials
are shown as "Qpf11' on Figure 2.
The deepest fill* encountered during our field investigation was approximately 8 feet in Trench
No. T-6 at the Windrose Circle embankment. Those portions of the previously placed fill which
will not be removed by planned grading should be closely observed during earthwork operations
to be determined if these materials are suitable to receive additional fill or settlement-sensitive
structures.
No documentation regarding the trench backfill of the main storm drain, and the sewer line located
along the western property line, has been available for our use. It is assumed that the trench
backfill operations were performed under testing and observation services of a geotechnical
engineering firm. Geocon Incorporated should review any available documentation related to
placing these fills. It is our understanding, however, that these lines will remain in operation and
no grading is anticipated to take place with the easement of these lines. These soils are shown as
"Qpf21" on Figure 2.
Topsoil (Unmapped)
Topsoils consisting of loose, dry to moist, silty sand and 2 to 3 feet in thickness were encountered
covering the majority of the site. At least the upper 12 inches of the topsoils had been reworked
Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
by cultivation. These soils are considered unsuitable in their present conditions to receive till or
settlement-sensitive structures and should be remediated in form of removal and recompaction.
Terrace Deposits (Ot)
Quaternary Marine Terrace Deposits comprise the entire site underlying the surficial soils. These
materials consist of medium dense, damp to moist, light brown silty sand to fine to medium
cohesionless sand. The upper 1 to 2 feet of these materials are relatively loose and will require
remediation if not removed during, grading. Terrace Deposits possess good bearing characteristics
in either a natural or properly compacted condition. Within the central portion of the project site,
some moderately cemented zones within the Terrace Deposits were encountered in the exploratory
excavations. These zones may require heavier than normal ripping during mass grading and
trenching operations.
Santiago Formation (Ts)
The Eocene-age Santiago Formation underlies the entire site beneath the Terrace Deposits. The
Santiago Formation consists of dense to very dense, moist, white to very light green, silty to clayey
sandstones interbedded with siltstoJes and claystones. These materials were encountered in the
majority of the borings within the western and southern portions of the site at the depths ranging
from 8 feet (Boring B-3) to 26 feet (Boring B-7). The Santiago Formation possesses good bearing
characteristic; however, a review of the referenced plans indicates that no grading is anticipated
within this unit.

Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
GROUNDWATER
Perched groundwater was encountered in Boring No. B-3 at approximately 91h feet below existing
surface. In most other excavations, saturated soil conditions were encountered at the contact
between the Terrace Deposits and the Santiago Formation. Perched groundwater levels should be
anticipated to vary seasonally, principally, as a function of the amount of rainfall. Based on the
conditions encountered at the time of the field investigation, groundwater is not anticipated to
significantly impact the proposed grading provided recommendations contained herein are
implemented. The deeper below-grade improvements may encounter groundwater which could
require modifying conventional installation/construction procedures.
GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
Landslides
Based on a review of the aerial photographs and available geologic literatures and our field
investigation, no landslides were evident within the site and immediate adjacent areas.
Faulting and Seismicity
Based on this field investigation, ad review of aerial photographs and published geologic maps,
the site is not located on any active or potentially active fault trace as defined by the California
Division of Mines and Geology.

June 3, 1994
The Rose Canyon and Coronado Banks Fault Zones, the closest active faults, lie approximately 5
and 18 miles to the west, respectively. As shown on Table 1, a "maximum probable" earthquake
of Magnitude 6.5 occurring on the Rose Canyon Fault could result in a peak site acceleration of
approximately 0.27 g. Other active faults listed on Table I are more distant from the site and,
hence, ground shaking from earthquakes on those faults will be less intensive. It is our opinion that
the site could be subjected to moderate to severe ground shaking in the event of a major earthquake
along any of the above-mentioned faults; however, the seismic risk at the site is not considered
significantly greater than the surrounding area.

Liquefaction
In consideration of the dense formational soils underlying the site and lack of a permanent water
table near the ground surface, it is our opinion that liquefaction does not present a significant
geologic hazard to the proposed site development.
S
Project No. 05318-12-01

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
It is our opinion that no soil and geologic conditions were encountered during the course of
the investigation which would preclude the development of the property as proposed, provided
the recommendations of this report are followed.
No potential geologic hazards were observed or are known to exist on the site which would
adversely affect the proposed project.
It is our understanding that only the main north to south traversing storm drain will remain in
place. The other existing utilities, including the sewer and water mains, will be replaced.
Soil and Excavation Characteristics
Based on field observations and laboratory tests, the prevailing soils are anticipated to be
comprised of "very low" to "low" expansive, silty, fine to medium sandand relatively clean
cohesionless sands of the Terrace Deposits. The cohesionless sands are generally unstable for
excavations with slopes havinan inclination in excess of 2:1 (horizontal:vertical). Special
consideration will be required, especially during trenching, where these soils are encountered.
The siltstones and sandstones of claystones of the Santiago Formation underlying the Terrace
Deposits are not anticipated to be encountered during the grading operations. The expansive
3
- 10 -
Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
character of the soil is defined in accordance with the Uniform Building Code (UBC)
Table 29-C.
Excavation of the surficial soils and the Terrace Deposits should be possible with light to
moderate effort with conventional heavy-duty equipment. Moderate to heavy effort should be
anticipated for excavation in the moderately cemented zones of the Terrace Deposits,
particularly, when trenching for foundations or utility installation.
Groundwater
Perched groundwater may be encountered during excavation for below grade improvements.
If present, the groundwater would be anticipated at the contact between the Terrace Deposits
and Santiago Formations. Construction procedures may require modification.
Grading
All grading should be performed inaccordance with the city of Carlsbad grading ordinance and
the Recommended Grading Specifications contained in Appendix C of this report. Where the
recommendations of Appendix' conflict with this section of the report, the recommendations
of this section shall take precedence.
Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
Prior to commencing grading, a preconstruction conference should be held at the site with the
grading contractor, civil engineer, and geotechnical engineer in attendance. Special soil
handling and/or the Grading Plan can be discussed at that time.
Site preparation should begin with the removal and export of all deleterious material and
vegetation. Existing asphalt pavement may, as an alternative and with the approval of the
owner and the City of Carlsbad, be broken up for mixing with on-site soils and placed as
compacted fill within planned roadway prism embankment fill. All unsuitable soils, including
undocumented fill, topsoils, and upper portions of the Terrace Deposits, should be removed
and the exposed natural ground surface properly moisture conditioned and recompacted to a
minimum relative compaction of 90 percent, based on ASTM Test Procedure D1557-91.
Depth of removal is anticipated to be approximately 3 to 4 feet. Fill soils free of deleterious
materials should then be placed and compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density
until finish grade is attained.
Due to the potential instability of excavations within the cohesionless zones of the Terrace
Deposits, special consideratiorL-T such as temporary shoring may be required. It is anticipated
that these soils may also present construction difficulties where soil forming for concrete
structures are planned, e.g., utilities, foundations, etc.
- 12 -
Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
Where the existing sewer and water mains are planned for removal, the resulting excavations
should be backfilled with properly compacted soils.
To reduce the potential for differential settlement, it is recommended that structures not be
placed on cut-fill transition lines. The cut portion of these building pads should be undercut
at least 3 feet below the proposed finish grade; the excavated material should then be moisture
conditioned and compacted as recommended above.
All fill and trench and utility backfill greater than 12 inches in depth should also be compacted
to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent.
Bulking and Shrinkage Factors
Estimates of embankment bulking and shrinkage factors are based on comparing laboratory
compaction tests with the density of the material in its natural state as encountered in the
exploratory excavations. It should be emphasized that variations in natural soil density, as well
as in compacted fill density, render shrinkage value estimates very approximate. As an
example, the contractor can ciftpact the fill soils to any relative compaction of 90 percent or
higher of the maximum laboratory density. Thus, the contractor has approximately a 10
percent range of control over the fill volume. Based on the limited work performed to date,
it is our opinion that the following shrinkage and bulking factors can be used as a basis for
- 13 -
Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
estimating how much the on-site soils may shrink or swell (bulk) when excavated from their
natural state and placed as compacted fills.
TABLE II
SHRINK/BULK FACTORS
Soil Umt Shrink/Bulk Factor
Undocumented fill and topsoil 5 to 10 percent shrink
Terrace Deposits 2 to 5 percent bulk
Slope Stability
The stability of proposed cut and fill slopes with respect to deep-seated failure was analyzed
using Janbu's method for dimensionless slopes. The results of the analysis indicate that 2:1
(horizontal to vertical) cut and fill slopes possess a calculated factor of safety in excess of 1.5
for the height of approximately 25 feet. The slope stability analysis is presented in Figure 3.
All cut slopes should be observed and logged by an engineering geologist during the grading
operations to verify that the soil and geologic conditions exposed do not differ significantly
from those anticipated.
Cohesionless sands should not be placed within the outer 15 feet of the fill slopes. If such
materials are exposed within the cut slopes, mitigation measures, such as construction of a
stability fill, may be considered.
- 14 -
Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
Analyses of surficial slope stability is presented on Figure 4. Results of the analyses indicate
that the proposed 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) cut and fill slopes have sufficient factor of safety to
resist shallow failure provides proper slope maintenance occurs.
All slopes should be planted, drained and properly maintained to help reduce erosion. Slope
planting should consist of a drought-tolerant plants having a variable root depth. Slope
watering should be kept to a minimum to just support the plant growth.
Foundations
The foundation recommendations that follow are for one- or two-story residential structures
and are separated into categories dependent on the thickness and geometry of the underlying
fill soils as well as the Expansion Index of the prevailing subgrade soils of a particular building
pad (or lot). The recommended minimum foundation and interior concrete slab design criteria
for each category is presented on the following page. Final design recommendations for each
building will be presented in the final compaction report.
Foundations for either Categoiy I, II, or m may be designed for an allowable soil bearing
pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) (dead plus live load). This bearing pressure
may be increased by up to one-third for transient loads such as wind or seismic forces.

Notes:
All footings should have a minimum width of 12 inches.

All concrete slabs should be at least four inches thick for Categories I and II and 5 inches thick for

All interior concrete slabs should b underlain by at least 4 inches (3 inches for Category III) of clean
sand or crushed rock.
All slabs expected to receive moisture sensitive floor coverings or used to store moisture sensitive
materials should be underlain by a vapor barrier covered with at least 2 inches of the clean sand
recommended in No. 4 above.
Interior stiffener beams should be at least 12 inches wide, have a minimum depth of 12 inches below
adjacent subgrade and be reinforced as identified for the particular Foundation Category. The
location of the beams will be dependent on the building geometry and foundation loading and should
be determined by the project structural engineer.
- 16 -
Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
The use of isolated footings which are located beyond the perimeter of the building and support
structural elements connected to the building is not recommended for Categories II and M.
Where this condition cannot be avoided, the isolated footings should be connected to the
building foundation system with grade beams designed by a Structural Engineer.
For Foundation Categories II and 111, considerations should be given to connecting exterior
slabs to the building foundation to reduce the potential for future separation to occur. In
addition, the exterior slab should be underlain by two layers of visqueen ( 4 mH or greater)
covered with at least 2 inches of clean sand.
No special subgrade presaturation is deemed necessary prior to placing concrete, however, the
exposed foundation and slab subgrade soils should be sprinkled, as necessary, to maintain a
moist condition as would be expected in any such concrete placement.
Where buildings or other improvements are planned near the top of a slope steeper than 3:1
(horizontal: vertical), special foundations and/or design considerations are recommended due
to the tendency for lateral soil?Ttiovement to occur.
a. For fill slopes less than 20 feet high, building footings should be deepened such that the
bottom outside edge of the footing is at least 7 feet horizontally from the face of the slope.
- 17 -
Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
Where the height of the fill slope exceeds 20 feet, the minimum horizontal distance should
be increased to H/3 (where H equals the vertical distance from the top of the slope to the
toe) but need not exceed 40 feet. For composite (fill over cut) slopes, H equals the
verticái distance from the top of the slope to the bottom of the fill portion of the slope.
An acceptable alternative to deepening the footings would be the use of a post-tensioned
slab and foundation system or increased footing and slab reinforcement. Specific design
parameters or recommendations for either of these alternatives can be provided once the
building location and fill slope geometry has been determined.
For cut slopes in dense formational materials, or fill slopes inclined at 3:1
(horizontal: vertical) or flatter, the bottom outside edge of building footings should be at
least 7 feet horizontally from the face of the slope, regardless of slope height.
Swimming pools located within 7 feet of the top of cut or fill slopes are not
recommended. Where such a condition cannot be avoided, it is recommended that the
portion of the swimming pool wall within 7 feet of the slope face be designed assuming
that the adjacent soil ptoides no lateral support. This recommendation applies to fill
slopes up to 30 feet in height, and for cut slopes regardless of height. For swimming
pools located near the top of fill slopes greater than 30 feet in height, additional
recommendations may be required and Geocon Incorporated should be contacted for a
review of specific site conditions.

Project No. 05318-12-01

e. Although other improvements which are relatively rigid or brittle, such as concrete
flatwork or masonry walls may experience some distress if located near the top of a slope,
it is generally not economical to mitigate this potential. It may be possible, however, to
incorporate design measures which would permit some lateral soil movement without
causing extensive distress. Geocon Incorporated should be consulted for specific
recommendations.
As an alternative to the foundation recommendations for each category, consideration should
be given to the use of post-tensioned concrete slab and foundation systems for the support of
the proposed structures. The post-tensioned systems should be designed by a structural
engineer experienced in post-tensioned slab design and design criteria of the Post-Tensioning
Institute (UBC Standard No. 29-4, Part Ii). Although this procedure was developed for
expansive soils, it is understood that it can also be used to reduce the potential for foundation
distress due to differential fill settlement. The post-tensioned design should incorporate the
geotechnical parameters presented on Table IV, entitled Post-Tensioned Foundation System
Design Parameters, for the particular Foundation Category designated.
UBC Standard No. 29-4 Part II uses interior stiffener beams in its structural design procedures.
If the Structural Engineer proposes a post-tensioned foundation design method other than UBC
Standard No. 29-4, Part II, it is recommended that interior stiffener beams be used for
Foundation Categories II and III and the depth of the perimeter foundation should be at

28. The recommendations of this rtipott are intended to reduce the potential for cracking of slabs
due to expansive soils (if present), differential settlement of deep fills or fills of varying
thicknesses. However, even with the incorporation of the recommendations presented herein,
foundations, stucco walls, and slabs-on-grade placed on such conditions may still exhibit some
cracking due to soil movement and/or shrinkage. The occurrence of concrete shrinkage cracks
-20 -
Project No. 053 18-12-01

is independent of the supporting soil characteristics. Their occurrence may be reduced and/or
controlled by limiting the slump of the concrete, proper concrete placement and curing, and
by the placement of crack control joints at periodic intervals, in particular, where re-entry slab
corners occur.

Retaining walls not restrained at the top and having a level backfill surface should be designed
for an active soil pressure equivalent to the pressure exerted by a fluid density of 30 pounds
per cubic foot (pcf). Where the backfill will be inclined at no steeper than 2.0 to 1.0, an
active soil pressure of 40 pcf is recommended. These soil pressures assume that the backfill
materials within an area bounded by the wall and a 1:1 plane extending upward from the base
of the wall possess an Expansion Index of less than 50.
Unrestrained walls are those that are allowed to rotate more than 0.001H at the top of the wall.
Where walls are restrained from movement at the top, an additional uniform pressure of 7H
psf (where H equals the height of the retaining wall portion of the wall in feet) should be added
to the above active soil presu.
All retaining walls. should be provided with a drainage system adequate to prevent the buildup
of hydrostatic forces and should be waterproofed as required by the project architect. The use
of drainage openings through the base of the wall (weep holes, etc.) is not recommended where
-21 -
Project No. 05318-12-01
June 3, 1994
the seepage could be a nuisance or otherwise adversely impact the property adjacent to the base
of the wall. The above recommendations assume a properly compacted granular (Expansion
Index less than 50) backfill material with no hydrostatic forces or imposed surcharge load. A
typical retaining wall drainage system is shown on Figure 5. If conditions different than those
described are anticipated, or if specific drainage details are desired, Geocon Incorporated
should be contacted for additional recommendations.
Preliminary Pavement Sections
An R-value test was performed on a material derived from the Terrace Deposits indicating an
R-Value of 70. A Traffic Index of 6 has been assigned for the interior streets. Utilizing the
California Flexible Pavement Design procedure, and the City of Carlsbad minimum pavement
section requirements, the minimum pavement section should consist of 3 inches of asphalt
concrete on 6 inches of Class II aggregate base material. It should be noted that this pavement
section is preliminary. The final pavement recommendations will be provided after finish
subgrade is achieved and R-Value tests are performed on the actual subgrade soils.
Base course material should consist of Class 2 Aggregate Base and be properly moisture
conditioned and compacted to a minimum relative compaction (ASTM D1557-91) of 95 percent
at or above optimum moisture content. The upper• 12 inches of subgrade should also be
compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 95 percent.

Class 2 Aggregate ease should conform to Section 26-1 Or-78 of the Standard Specifications of
California, Department of Tran$porrarion (Caitrans). The asphalt concrete should conform to
Section 203-6 of the Standard Specflcarions for Public Works Consrrucnon (Green Book).
Reactive Soil Characteristics
Reactive soil characteristics as indicated by pH and resistivity rests were not within the scope
of work for this study. Geocon does not practice in the field of corrosion engineering.
Therefore, this information, if required. should be provided by other qualified consultants and
ftirnished to those responsible for below grade improvements to evaluate potential adverse
effect.
Draina2e
Adequate drainage provisions are imperative. Under no circumstances should water be allowed
to pond adjacent to footings. The building pads should be properly finish graded after the
buildings and other improvements are in place so that drainage water is directed away from
foundations, pavements, concrete slabs, and slope tops to controlled drainage devices.
Experience has shown that eves with these provisions, a shallow groundwater or subsurface
water condition can and may develop in areas where no such water conditions existed prior to
site development; this is particularly true where a substantial increase in surface water
infiltration results from an increase in landscape irrigation.

LIMITATIONS AND UNIFORMITY OF CONDITIONS
The recommendations of this report pertain only to the site investigated and are based upon
the assumption that the soil conditions do not deviate from those disclosed in the
investigation. If any variations or undesirable conditions are encountered during
construction, or if the proposed construction will differ from that anticipated herein,
Geocon Incorporated should be notified so that supplemental recommendations can be
given. The evaluation or identification of the potential presence of hazardous materials
was not part of the scope of services provided by Geocon Incorporated.
This report is issued with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the owner, or of
his representative, to ensure that the information and recommendations contained herein
are brought to the attention of the architect and engineer for the project and incorporated
into the plans, and the necessary steps are taken. to see that the contractor and
subcontractors carry out such recommendations in the field.
The findings of this report are valid as of the present date. However, changes in
the conditions of a property can occur with the passage of time, whether they be due to
natural processes or the works of man on this or adjacent properties. In addition, changes
in applicable or appropriate standards may occur, whether they result from legislation or
the broadening of knowledge. Accordingly, the findings of this report may be invalidated
wholly or partially by changes outside our control. Therefore, this report is subject to
review and should not be relied upon after a period of three years.

APPENDIX A
FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation was performed on May 4 through May 13, 1994, and consisted of the
excavation of 10 small-diameter borings and 12 backhoe trenches. The approximate locations of
the exploratory excavation are shown on Figure 2:
The small-diameter borings were advanced to depths of 16 to 32 feet below existing grade using
a Mobile Drill B-61 truck-mounted drill rig equipped with an eight-inch-diameter hollow stem
auger. Relatively "undisturbed" samples were obtained by driving a 3-inch, split-tube sampler into
the "undisturbed" soil mass with blows from a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The sampler
was equipped with a 1-inch by 2%-inch-diameter, brass sampler rings to facilitate removal and
laboratory testing. Disturbed bulk samples were also obtained at selected depths.
The trenches were advanced to depths of 6 to 14 feet below existing grade using an Case 580K
backhoe equipped with a 24-inch bucket. Disturbed bulk samples were obtained at selected
locations in the trenches for laboratory testings.
The soils encountered in the borings and trenches were visually examined, classified, and logged.
Logs of the borings and trenches are presented on Figures A-i through A-22. The logs depict the
soil and geologic conditions encountered and the depth at which samples were obtained.

RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS
FOR
POINSETTIA SHORES
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
Project No. 053318-12-01
RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS
1 GENERAL
1.1 These Recommended Grading Specifications shall be used in conjunction with the
Geotechnical Report for the project prepared by Geocon Incorporated. The recom-
mendations contained in the text of the Geotechnical Report are a part of the earthwork
and grading specifications and shall supersede the provisions contained hereinafter in
the case of conflict.
1.2 Prior to the commencement of grading, a geotechnical consultant (Consultant) shall be
employed for the purpose of observing earthwork procedures and testing the fills for
substantial conformance with the recommendations of the Geotechnical Report and
these specifications. It will be necessary that the Consultant provide adequate testing
and observation services so that he may determine that, in his opinion, the work was
performed in substantial conformance with these specifications. It shall be the
responsibility of the Concractor to assist the Consultant and keep him apprised of work
schedules and changes so that personnel may be scheduled accordingly.
1.3 It shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor to provide adequate equipment and
methods to accomplish the work in accordance with applicable grading codes or agency
ordinances, these specifications and the approved grading plans. If, in the opinion of
the Consultant, unsatisfactory conditions such as questionable soil materials, poor
moisture condition, inadequate compaction, adverse weather, and so forth, result in a
quality of work not in conformance with these specifications, the Consultant will be
empowered to reject the work and recommend to the Owner that construction be
stopped until the unacceptable conditions are corrected.
2 DEFINITIONS
2.1 Owner shall refer to the owner of the property or the entity on whose behalf the
grading work is being performed and who has contracted with the Contractor to have
grading performed.
2.2 Contractor shall refer to the Contractor performing the site grading work.
2.3 Civil Engineer or Engineer of Work shall refer to the California licensed Civil
Engineer or consulting firm responsible for preparation of the grading plans, surveying
and verifying as-graded topography.
2.4 Consultant shall refer to the soil engineering and engineering geology consulting
firm retained to provide geotechnical services for the project.
2.5 Soil Engineer shall refer to a California licensed Civil Engineer retained by the
Owner, who is experienced in the practice of geotechnical engineering. The Soil
Engineer shall be responsible for having qualified representatives on-site to observe and
test the Contractor's work for conformance with these specifications.
2.6 Engineering Geologist shall refer to a California licensed Engineering Geologist
retained by the Owner to provide geologic observations and recommendations during
the site grading.
2.7 Geotechnical Report shall refer to a soil report (including all addendums) which may
include a geologic reconnaissance or geologic investigation that was prepared
specifically for the development of the project for which these Recommended Grading
Specifications are intended to apply.
3 MATERIALS
3.1 Materials for compacted fill shall consist of any soil excavated from the cut areas or
imported to the site that, in the opinion of the Consultant, is suitable for use in
construction of fills. In general, fill materials can be classified as soil fills, soil-rock
fills or rock fills, as defined below.
3.1.1 Soil fills are defined as fills containing no rocks or hard lumps greater than 12
inches in maximum dimension and containing at least 40 percent by weight of
material smaller than 3/4 inch in size.
3.1.2 Soil-rock fills are defined as fills containing no rocks or hard lumps larger than
4 feet in maximum dimension and containing a sufficient matrix of soil fill to
allow for proper compaction of soil till around the rock fragments or hard
lumps as specified in Paragraph 6.2. Oversize rock is defined as material
greater than 12 inches.
3.1.3 Rock fills are defined as fills containing no rocks or hard lumps larger than 3
feet in maximum dimension and containing little or no fines. Fines are defined
as material smaller than 3/4 inch in maximum dimension. The quantity of fines
shall be less than approximately 20 percent of the rock fill quantity.
3.2 Material of a perishable, spongy, or otherwise unsuitable nature as determined by the
Consultant shall not be used in fills.
3.3 Materials used for fill, either imported or on-site, shall not contain hazardous materials
as defined by the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4, Chapter 30,
Articles 9 and 10; 40CFR; and any other applicable local, state or federal laws. The
Consultant shall not be responsible for the identification or analysis of the potential
presence of hazardous materials. However, if observations, odors or soil discoloration
cause Consultant to suspect the presence of hazardous 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 hazardous as defined by
applicable laws and regulations.
3.4 The outer 15 feet of soil-rock fill slopes, measured horizontally, should be composed
of properly compacted soil fill materials approved by .the Consultant. Rock fill may
extend to the slope face, provided that the slope is not steeper than 2:1
(horizontal:vertical) and a soil layer no thicker than 12 inches is track-walked onto the
face for landscaping purposes. This procedure may be utilized, provided it is
acceptable to the governing agency, Owner and Consultant.
3.5 Representative samples of soil materials to be used for fill shall be tested in the
laboratory by the Consultant to determine the maximum density, optimum moisture
content, and, where appropriate, shear strength, expansion, and gradation
characteristics of the soil.
3.6 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 condition.
4 CLEARING AND PREPARING AREAS TO BE FILLED
4.1 Areas to be excavated and filled shall be cleared and grubbed. Clearing shall consist
of complete removal above the ground surface of trees, Stumps, brush, vegetation,
man-made structures and similar debris. Grubbing shall consist of removal of stumps,
roots, buried logs and other unsuitable material and shall be performed in areas to be
graded. Roots and other projections exceeding 1-1/2 inches in diameter shall be
removed to a depth of 3 feet below the surface of the ground. Borrow areas shall be
grubbed to the extent necessary to provide suitable fill materials.
4.2 Any asphalt pavement material removed during clearing operations should be properly
disposed at an approved off-site facility. Concrete fragments which are free of
reinforcing steel may be placed in fills, provided they are placed in accordance with
Section 6.2 or 6.3 of this document.
4.3 After clearing and grubbing of organic matter or other unsuitable material, loose or
porous soils shall be removed to the depth recommended in the Geotechnical Report.
The depth of removal and compaction shall be observed and approved by a
representative of the Consultant. The exposed surface shall then be plowed or scarified
to a minimum depth of 6 inches and until the surface is free from uneven features that
would tend to prevent uniform compaction by the equipment to be used.
4.4 Where the slope ratio of the original ground is steeper than 6:1 (horizontal:vertical),
or where recommended by the Consultant, the original ground should be benched in
accordance with the following illustration.

NOTES: (1) Key width "B" should be a minimum of 10 feet wide, or
sufficiently wide to permit complete coverage with the compaction
equipment used. The base of the key should be graded horizontal,
or inclined slightly into the natural slope.
(2) The outside of the bottom key should be below the topsoil or
unsuitable surficial material and at least 2feet into dense formational
material. Where hard, rock is exposed in the bottom of the key, the
depth and configuration of the key may be modified as approved by
the Consultant.
4.5 After areas to receive fill have been cleared, plowed or scarified, the surface should
be disced or bladed by the Contractor until it is uniform and free from large clods.
The area should then be moisture conditioned to achieve the proper moisture content,
and compacted as recommended in Section 6.0 of these specifications.
5 COMPACTION EQUIPMENT
5.1 Compaction of soil or soil-rock fill shall be accomplished by sheepsfoot or segmented-
steel wheeled rollers, vibratory rollers, multiple-wheel pneumatic-tired rollers, or other
types of acceptable compaction equipment. Equipment shall be of such a design that
it will be capable of compacting the soil or soil-rock fill to the specified relative
compaction at the specified moisture content.
5.2 Compaction of rock fills shall be performed in accordance with Section 6.3.
6 PLACING, SPREADING AND COMPACTION OF FILL MATERIAL
6.1 Soil fill, as defined in Paragraph 3. 1.1, shall be placed by the Contractor in accordance
with the following recommendations:
6.1.1 Soil fill shall be placed by the Contractor in layers that, when compacted,
should generally not exceed 8 inches. Each layer shall be spread evenly and
shall be thoroughly mixed during spreading to obtain uniformity of material and
moisture in each layer. The entire fill shall be constructed as a unit in nearly
level lifts. Rock materials greater than 12 inches in maximum dimension shall
be placed in accordance with Section 6.2 or 6.3 of these specifications.
6.1.2 In general, the soil fill shall be compacted at a moisture content at or above the
optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D1557-91.
6.1.3 When the moisture content of soil fill is below that specified by the Consultant.
water shall be added by the Contractor until the moisture content is in the range
specified.
6.1.4 When the moisture content of the soil fill is above the range specified by the
Consultant or too wet to achieve proper compaction, the soil fill shall be aerated
by the Contractor by blading/mixing, or other satisfactory methods until the
moisture content is within the range specified.
6.1.5 After each layer has been placed, mixed, and spread evenly, it shall be
thoroughly compacted by the Contractor to a relative compaction of at least 90
percent. Relative compaction is defined as the ratio (expressed in percent) of
the in-place dry density of the compacted fill to the maximum laboratory dry
density as determined in accordance with ASTM D1557-91. Compaction shall
be continuous over the entire area, and compaction equipment shall make
sufficient passes so that the specified minimum density has been achieved
throughout the entire fill.
6.1.6 Soils having an Expansion Index of greater than 50 may be used in fills if
placed at least 3 feet below finish pad grade and should be compacted at a
moisture content generally 2 to 4 percent greater than the optimum moisture
content for the material.
6.1.7 Properly compacted soil fill shall extend to the design surface of fill slopes. To
achieve proper compaction. it is recommended that fill slopes be over-built by
at least 3 feet and then cut to the design grade. This procedure is considered
preferable to track-walking of slopes, as described in the following paragraph.
6.1.8 As an alternative to over-building of slopes, slope faces may be back-rolled with
a heavy-duty loaded sheepsfoot or vibratory roller at maximum 4-foot fill height
intervals. Upon completion. slopes should then be track-walked with a D-8
dozer or similar equipment, such that a dozer track covers all slope surfaces at
least twice.
6.2 Soil-rock fill, as defined in Paragraph 3.1.2, shall be placed by the Contractor in
accordance with the following recommendations:
6.2.1 Rocks larger than 12 inches but less than 4 feet in maximum dimension may be
incorporated into the compacted soil fill, but shall be limited to the area
measured 15 feet minimum horizontally from the slope face and 5 feet below
finish grade or 3 feet below the deepest utility, whichever is deeper.
6.2.2 Rocks or rock fragments up to 4 feet in maximum dimension may either be
individually placed or placed in windrows. Under certain conditions, rocks or
rock fragments up to 10 feet in maximum dimension may be placed using
similar methods. The acceptability of placing rock materials greater than 4 feet
in maximum dimension shall be evaluated during grading, as specific cases arise
and shall be approved by the Consultant prior to placement.
6.2.3 For individual placement, sufficient space shall be provided between rocks to
allow for passage of compaction equipment.
6.2.4 For windrow placement, the rocks should be placed in trenches excavated in
properly compacted soil fill. Trenches should be approximately 5 feet wide and
4 feet deep in maximum dimension. The voids around and beneath rocks
should be filled with approved granular soil having a Sand Equivalent of 30 or
greater and should be compacted by flooding. Windrows may also be placed
utilizing an 'open-face' method in lieu of the trench procedure, however, this
method should first be approved by the Consultant.
6.2.5 Windrows should generally be parallel to each other and may be placed either
parallel to or perpendicular to the face of the slope depending on the site
geometry. The minimum horizontal spacing for windrows shall be 12 feet
center-to-center with a 5-foot stagger or offset from lower courses to next
overlying course. The minimum vertical spacing between windrow courses
shall be 2 feet from the top of a lower windrow to the bottom of the next higher
windrow.
6.2.6 All rock placement, fill placement and flooding of approved granular soil in the
windrows must be continuously observed by the Consultant or his
representative.
6.3 Rock fills, as defined in Section 3.1.3, shall be placed by the Contractor in accordance
with the following recommendations:
6.3.1 The base of the rock till shall be placed on a sloping surface (minimum slope
of 2 percent. maximum slope of 5 percent). The surface shall slope toward
suitable subdrainage outlet facilities. The rock fills shall be provided with
subdrains during construction so that a hydrostatic pressure buildup does not
develop. The subdrains shall be permanently connected to controlled drainage
facilities to control post-construction infiltration of water.
6.3.2 Rock fills shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 3 feet. Placement shall be by
rock trucks traversing previously placed lifts and dumping at the edge of the
currently placed lift. Spreading of the rock fill shall be by dozer to facilitate
seating of the rock. The rock fill shall be watered heavily during placement.
Watering shall consist of water trucks traversing in front of the current rock lift
face and spraying water continuously during rock placement. Compaction
equipment with compactive energy comparable to or greater than that of a
20-ton steel vibratory roller or other compaction equipment providing suitable
energy to achieve the required compaction or deflection as recommended in
Paragraph 6.3.3 shall be utilized. The number of passes to be made will be
determined as described in Paragraph 6.3.3. Once a rock fill lift has been
covered with soil fill, no additional rock fill lifts will be permitted over the soil
fill.
6.3.3 Plate bearing tests, in accordance with ASTM Dl 196-64, may be performed in
both the compacted soil fill and in the rock fill to aid in determining the number
of passes of the compaction equipment to be performed. If performed, a
minimum of three plate bearing tests shall be performed in the properly
compacted soil fill (minimum relative compaction of 90 percent). Plate bearing
tests shall then be performed on areas of rock fill having two passes, four passes
and six passes of the compaction equipment, respectively. The number of
passes required for the rock fill shall be determined by comparing the results
of the plate bearing tests for the soil fill and the rock fill and by evaluating the
deflection variation with number of passes. The required number of passes of
the compaction equipment will be performed as necessary until the plate bearing
deflections are equal to or less than that determined for the properly compacted
soil fill. In no case will the required number of passes be less than two.
6.3.4 A representative of the Consultant shall be present during rock fill operations
to verify that the minimum number of "passes' have been obtained, that water
is being properly applied and that specified procedures are being followed. The
actual number of plate bearing tests will be determined by the Consultant during
grading. In general, at least one test should be performed for each
approximately 5.000 to 10.000 cubic yards of rock fill placed.
6.3.5 Test pits shall be excavated by the Contractor so that the Consultant can state
that, in his opinion, sufficient water is present and that voids between large
rocks are properly filled with smaller rock material. In-place density testing
will not be required in the rock fills.
6.3.6 To reduce the potential for ' of fines into the rock fill from overlying
soil fill material, a 2-foot layer of graded filter material shall be placed above
the uppermost lift of rock fill. The need to place graded filter material below
the rock should be determined by the Consultant prior to commencing grading.
The gradation of the graded filter material will be determined at the time the
rock till is being excavated. Materials typical of the rock fill should be
submitted to the Consultant in a timely manner, to allow design of the graded
filter prior to the commencement of rock fill placement.
6.3.7 All rock fill placement shall be continuously observed during placement by
representatives of the Consultant.
7 OBSERVATION AND TESTING
7.1 The Consultant shall be the Owners representative to observe and perform tests during
clearing, grubbing, filling and compaction operations. In general, no more than 2 feet
in vertical elevation of soil or soil-rock fill shall be placed without at least one field
density test being performed within that interval. In addition, a minimum of one field
density test shall be performed for every 2,000 cubic yards of soil or soil-rock fill
placed and compacted.
7.2 The Consultant shall perform random field density tests of the compacted soil or
soil-rock fill to provide a basis for expressing an opinion as to whether the fill material
is compacted as specified. Density tests shall be performed in the compacted materials
below any disturbed surface. When these tests indicate that the density of any layer
of fill or portion thereof is below that specified, the particular layer or areas
represented by the test shall be reworked until the specified density has been achieved.
7.3 During placement of rock fill, the Consultant shall verify that the minimum number of
passes have been obtained per the criteria discussed in Section 6.3.3. The Consultant
shall request the excavation of observation pits and may perform plate bearing tests on
the placed rock fills. The observation pits will be excavated to provide a basis for
expressing an opinion as to whether the rock fill is properly seated and sufficient
moisture has been applied to the material. If performed, plate bearing tests will be
performed randomly on the surface of the most-recently placed lift. Plate bearing tests
will be performed to provide a basis for expressing an opinion as to whether the rock
fill is adequately seated. The maximum deflection in the rock fill determined in
Section 6.3.3 shall be less than the maximum deflection of the properly compacted soil
fill. When any of the above criteria indicate that a layer of rock fill or any portion
thereof is below that specified, the affected layer or area shall be reworked until the
rock fill has been adequately seated and sufficient moisture applied.
7.4 A settlement monitoring program designed by the Consultant may be conducted in
areas of rock fill p[aement. The specific design of the monitoring program shall be
as recommended in the Conclusions and Recommendations section of the project
Geotechnical Report or in the final report of testing and observation services performed
during grading.
7.5 The Consultant shall observe the placement of subdrains, to verify that the drainage
devices have been placed and constructed in substantial conformance with project
specifications.
7.6 Testing procedures shall conform to the following Standards as appropriate:
7.6.1 Soil and Soil-Rock Fills:
7.6.1.1 • Field Density Test, ASTM D1556-82, Density of Soil In-Place By the
Sand-Cone Method.

Design of Airport and Highway Pavements.
8 PROTECTION OF WORK
8.1 During construction. the Contractor shall properly grade all excavated surfaces to
provide positive drainage and prevent ponding of water. Drainage of surface water
shall be controlled to avoid damage to adjoining properties or to finished work on the
site. The Contractor shall take remedial measures to prevent erosion of freshly graded
areas until such time as permanent drainage and erosion control features have been
installed. Areas subjected to erosion or sedimentation shall be properly prepared in
accordance with the Specifications prior to placing additional fill or structures.
8.2 After completion of grading as observed and tested by the Consultant. no further
excavation or filling shall be conducted except in conjunction with the services of the
Consultant.
9 CERTIFICATIONS AND FINAL REPORTS
9.1 Upon completion of the work, Contractor shall furnish Owner a certification by the
Civil Engineer stating that the lots and/or building pads are graded to within 0.1 foot
vertically of elevations shown on the grading plan and that all tops and toes of slopes
are within 0.5 foot horizontally of the positions shown on the grading plans. After
installation of a section of subdrain, the project Civil Engineer should survey its
location and prepare an as-built plan of the subdrain location. The project Civil
Engineer should verify the proper outlet for the subdrains and the Contractor should
ensure that the drain system is free of obstructions.
9.2 The Owner is responsible for furnishing a final as-graded soil and geologic report
satisfactory to the appropriate governing or accepting agencies. The as-graded report
should be prepared and signed by a California licensed Civil Engineer experienced in
geotechnical engineering and by a California Certified Engineering Geologist,
