INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This report presents the results of a preliminary geotechnical investigation performed for the proposed
residential project to be constructed at 2451 Torrejon Place, Carlsbad, California. The following Figure
Number 1 presents a vicinity map showing the location of the property.
We understand that the subject project will consist of constructing a single-story accessory dwelling unit
(ADU) at the rear of the lot. To accommodate for the ADU a masonry retaining wall up to approximately 9-
feet high will be built into the existing slope. It is anticipated that the proposed structure will be of wood-
frame construction, supported by shallow foundations, and will incorporate a conventional concrete on-grade
floor slab. Grading to accommodate the proposed construction is expected to consist of cuts and fills up to
about 9 feet from existing grades.
To aid us in the preparation of this report, we were provided with a site plan prepared by KL Drafting and
Design, dated April 8, 2020 and an undated topographic survey prepared by Stewart Design & Engineering.
These plans were overlaid to create our Site Plan and Geotechnical Map which is included herein as Plate No.
1. We have also created a geologic cross section A-A’ to depict the proposed construction, topography, and
subsurface conditions at the subject site. The geologic cross section is included on Plate No. 2 of this report.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Jack Reagan, and his design consultants, for specific
application to the project described herein. Should the project be modified, the conclusions and
recommendations presented in this report should be reviewed by Christian Wheeler Engineering for
conformance with our recommendations and to determine whether any additional subsurface investigation,
laboratory testing and/or recommendations are necessary. Our professional services have been performed,
our findings obtained and our recommendations prepared in accordance with generally accepted engineering
principles and practices. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our preliminary geotechnical investigation consisted of surface reconnaissance, subsurface exploration,
obtaining representative soil samples, laboratory testing, analysis of the field and laboratory data, and review
of relevant geologic literature. Our scope of service did not include assessment of hazardous substance
contamination, recommendations to prevent floor slab moisture intrusion or the formation of mold within
the structures, evaluation or design of storm water infiltration facilities, or any other services not specifically
described in the scope of services presented below.
More specifically, the intent of our proposed investigation was to:
Observe and geologically log the existing cut slope and 3 trench excavations.
Evaluate, by laboratory tests and our past experience with similar soil types, the engineering
properties of the various soil strata that may influence the proposed construction, including bearing
capacities, expansive characteristics and settlement potential.
Describe the general geology at the site including possible geologic hazards that could have an effect
on the proposed construction, and provide the seismic design parameters in accordance with the
2019 edition of the California Building Code.
Discuss potential construction difficulties that may be encountered due to soil conditions,
groundwater or geologic hazards, and provide geotechnical recommendations to mitigate identified
construction difficulties.
Provide temporary cut slope recommendations.
Perform a slope stability analysis on the existing and proposed, site configurations.
Provide site preparation and grading recommendations for the anticipated work, as necessary.
Provide foundation recommendations for the type of construction anticipated and develop soil
engineering design criteria for the recommended foundation designs.
Provide earth retaining wall design recommendations.
Provide a preliminary geotechnical report presenting the results of our investigation, including a plot
plan showing the location of our subsurface explorations, excavation logs, laboratory test results, and
our conclusions and recommendations for the proposed project.
Although a test for the presence of soluble sulfates within the soils that may be in contact with reinforced
concrete was performed as part of the scope of our services, it should be understood Christian Wheeler
Engineering does not practice corrosion engineering. If a corrosivity analysis is considered necessary, we
recommend that the client retain an engineering firm that specializes in this field to consult with them on this
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 3
matter. The results of our sulfate testing should only be used as a guideline to determine if additional testing
and analysis is necessary.
FINDINGS
SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject site consists of trapezoidal-shaped los located at 2451 Torrejon Place, Carlsbad, California. The
site presently supports a single-family residential structure. The property is bounded on the north by Torrejon
Place and is otherwise bounded by single-family residential properties. Topographically, the lot is near flat-
lying; however, an ascending cut slope about 24 feet high at an approximate inclination of (1:1, horizontal to
vertical), exists at the southern property line. According to the topographic survey the house pad is at an
elevation of about 190 feet. At the time of our investigation a near vertical temporary cut slope about 9 feet
high had been graded at the rear of the lot.
GENERAL GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
GEOLOGIC SETTING AND SOIL DESCRIPTION: The subject site is located within the Coastal Plains
Physiographic Province of San Diego County. Based on the results of our subsurface explorations, and analysis
of readily available, pertinent geologic literature, it was determined that the site is generally underlain by artificial
fill and the sedimentary deposits of the Santiago Formation. These materials are described below:
ARTIFICIAL FILL (Qaf): Artificial fill was encountered in trench T-1 extending up to a depth of about
1 foo below existing grade. Deeper fill soils may exist in areas of the site not investigated. These materials
generally consisted of yellowish-brown, moist, loose to medium dense, silty sand (SM). The artificial fill
was judged to have a low Expansion Index (EI between 21 and 50). In addition, stockpiled fill generated form
excavations for the proposed retaining wall covered portions of the proposed ADU building pad.
SANTIAGO FORMATION (Tsa): Tertiary-age sedimentary deposits of the Santiago Formation
sandstone facies were encountered underlying the artificial fills and at grade throughout the proposed
building pad. These materials were also exposed in the cut slope associated with proposed retaining wall
construction. The sandstones of the Santiago Formation generally consisted of grayish white, moist,
dense, very dense, silty sand (SM). Approximately the upper 2 feet of the formational soils in trench T-2
were found to be disturbed with roots and loose to medium dense. The Santiago Formation was judged to
have a low Expansion Index (EI between 21 and 50).
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 4
GEOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS: The available exposures of the formational materials at the site
indicate that the Santiago Formation dips to the northeast at inclinations ranging from approximately 2
to 4 degrees. These attitudes correlate with the geologic structure of the area presented on the regional
geologic map (Kennedy and Tan, 2007). Such bedding orientations are considered to be unfavorable with
regards to the stability of the northerly sloping topography on-site.
GROUNDWATER: During our site visit minor seepage was observed in the southeast ascending cut slope.
The seepage was observed to be within the upper approximately 6” of soils as exposed in retaining wall backcut.
Purportedly the seepage is a result of a broken irrigation line on the adjacent property to the south. It is our
understanding that the irrigation line has been repaired. The slope should be monitored and if the seepage
persists, we should be notified and additional geotechnical recommendations maybe warranted.
It should be recognized that minor groundwater seepage problems might occur after construction and
landscaping are completed, even at a site where none were present before construction. These are usually
minor phenomena and are often the result of an alteration in drainage patterns and/or an increase in
irrigation water. Based on the anticipated construction and the permeability of the on-site soils, it is our
opinion that any seepage problems that 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 occur.
TECTONIC SETTING: No faults are known to traverse the subject site. However, it should be noted that
much of Southern California, including the San Diego County area, is characterized by a series of Quaternary-age
fault zones that consist of several individual, en echelon faults that generally strike in a northerly to northwesterly
direction. Some of these fault zones (and the individual faults within the zone) are classified as “active” according
to the criteria of the California Division of Mines and Geology. Active fault zones are those that have shown
conclusive evidence of faulting during the Holocene Epoch (the most recent 11,000 years). The Division of
Mines and Geology used the term “potentially active” on Earthquake Fault Zone maps until 1988 to refer to all
Quaternary-age (last 1.6 million years) faults for the purpose of evaluation for possible zonation in accordance
with the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act and identified all Quaternary-age faults as “potentially
active” except for certain faults that were presumed to be inactive based on direct geologic evidence of inactivity
during all of Holocene time or longer. Some faults considered to be “potentially active” would be considered to
be “active” but lack specific criteria used by the State Geologist, such as sufficiently active and well-defined. Faults older
than Quaternary-age are not specifically defined in Special Publication 42, Fault Rupture Hazard Zones in
California, published by the California Division of Mines and Geology. However, it is generally accepted that
faults showing no movement during the Quaternary period may be considered to be “inactive”. Regionally,
guidelines of the City of San Diego indicate that since the beginning of the Pleistocene Epoch marks the
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 5
boundary between “potentially active” and “inactive” faults, unfaulted Pleistocene-age deposits are accepted as
evidence that a fault may be considered to be “inactive.”
A review of available geologic maps indicates that the nearest active fault zone is the Newport-Inglewood-
Rose Canyon Fault Zone (RCFZ), located approximately 6½ miles to the west of the site. Other fault zones
in the region that could possibly affect the site include the Coronado Bank fault zones to the south west, the
San Diego Trough and San Clemente fault zones to the west, the Palos Verdes fault zone to the northwest,
and the Elsinore, Earthquake Valley, San Jacinto, and San Andreas fault zones to the northeast.
GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
GENERAL: No geologic hazards of sufficient magnitude to preclude the redevelopment of the site are
known to exist. In our professional opinion and to the best of our knowledge, the site should be suitable for
the proposed construction, provided sound engineering, construction, and site maintenance procedures are
followed.
LANDSLIDE POTENTIAL AND SLOPE STABILITY: As part of this investigation we reviewed the
publication, “Landslide Hazards in the Northern Part of the San Diego Metropolitan Area" by Tan, 1995.
This reference is a comprehensive study that classifies San Diego County into areas of relative landslide
susceptibility. The subject site is located in Relative Landslide Susceptibility Area 3-1. Area 3 is considered
to be “generally susceptible” to slope movement; Subarea 3-1 classifications are considered at or near their
stability limits due to steep slopes and can be expected to fail locally when adversely modified. Sites within
this classification are located outside the boundaries of known landslides but may contain observably unstable
slopes that may be underlain by weak materials and/or adverse geologic structure. The steep cut slope at the
site is comprised of relatively competent sandstones of the Santiago Formation which, in our opinion are
considered to possess a low potential for global slope instability. It is our opinion that the proposed
construction will not significantly affect the stability of the existing slope if the recommendations presented
herein are implemented.
SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS
STABILITY ALALYSIS: In consideration of the proposed retaining wall and relatively steep cut slope
along the southerly perimeter of the site, we have performed a series of quantitative slope stability
analyses to determine the factors-of-safety against deep-seated slope failures. The analyses were
performed on the current and proposed site configurations. As presented on our Site Plan and
Geotechnical Map, included herein as Plate No. 1, we have created geologic cross section A-A’ to depict
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 6
the topography and subsurface conditions at the subject site. The geologic cross section is included on
Plate No. 2 of this report. It is our professional opinion that the cross section modeled in our stability
analyses (A-A’), was drawn, and subsequently analyzed, to depict the steepest topography at the site.
Based on the configuration of the site and the composition of the underlying Santiago Formation,
circular-type failure mechanisms were modeled in our analyses. We have also performed a surficial
stability analysis to determine the minimum factor-of-safety against surficial failure. Descriptions of our
stability analyses are presented in the following “Gross Stability Analyses” and “Surficial Stability
Analyses” sections of this report.
STRENGTH PARAMETERS: The strength parameters for the earth materials underlying the subject
site were estimated by the direct shear test method and our experience and judgment with similar soil
types. The results of our direct shear testing are presented in Appendix B of this report. The unit weights
of the earth materials that underlie the subject site and adjacent areas utilized in our stability analyses were
chosen based on the results of our laboratory testing and our experience with similar materials in the
vicinity of the subject site. Based on the out-of-slope orientation of the bedding of the Santiago
Formation, anisotropic soils strength parameters were modelled in our analyses with along bedding shear
strength parameters reduced by one-third from the across bedding strength parameters. It is our
professional opinion that the strength parameters and unit weights presented below and utilized in our
stability analyses provide for conservative slope stability analyses.

Santiago Formation (Tsa)
Across Bedding 125 pcf 34° 350 psf
Along Bedding 125 pcf 22° 233 psf
METHOD OF ANALYSES: The analyses of the gross stability of the existing and proposed site
topography were performed using Version 2 of the GSTABL7 computer program developed by Garry
H. Gregory, PE. The program analyzes circular, block, specified, and randomly shaped failure surfaces
using the Modified Bishop, Janbu, or Spencer’s Methods. The STEDwin computer program, developed
by Harald W. Van Aller, P. E., was used in conjunction with this program for data entry and graphics
display. The existing and proposed topography of the subject site along geologic cross section A-A’ was
analyzed for circular-type failures and each failure analysis was programmed to run at least 500 random
failure surfaces. The most critical failure surfaces were then accumulated and sorted by value of the
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 7
factor-of-safety. After the specified number of failure surfaces were successfully generated and analyzed,
the ten most critical surfaces were plotted so that the pattern may be studied.
RESULTS OF STABILITY ANALYSES: The short-term (during construction) site topography was
modeled through the 9-foot high temporary cut slope along our geologic cross section A-A’. We have
also modeled the proposed site configuration incorporating a 9-foot high retaining wall. Appendix C of
this report presents the results of our gross stability analyses. As demonstrated on the printouts of these
analyses, the site topography along our geologic cross section A-A’ for the existing and proposed site
configurations demonstrate a minimum factor-of-safety against static failure of 1.28 and 2.24,
respectively. Typical minimum factor-of-safety values for static short-term (during construction) stability
are 1.25 and 1.5 for static long-term (end of construction) slope stability. The long-term and short term
factor-of-safeties meet the minimum values that are generally considered to be stable.
Also included in Appendix C, our pseudo-static stability analyses, performed incorporating a kh value of
0.15g, demonstrate minimum factors-of-safety against pseudo-static failure of 1.06 for the existing
topography and 1.84 for the proposed site configuration. The proposed site configuration value is in
excess of the minimum that is generally considered to be stable of 1.1 for pseudo-static analyses. It is
further our opinion that upon completion of the proposed construction the stability of the existing slope
will be in excess of 1.5.
RESULTS OF SURFICIAL STABILITY ANALYSIS: The surficial stability of the existing cut slope
along the southerly perimeter of the subject site (with an inclination of approximately 1:1 (H:V)) was
evaluated using methodologies presented by Skempton, A., and Delory, F., (1957). Appendix D of this
report presents the results of our surficial slope stability analysis. The existing slope was evaluated
assuming a vertical saturation depth of 5 feet. Surficial slope failures are generally shallow and occur
within a depth of about 4 feet, as discussed in field observations by Evans (1972). A saturation depth of 4
feet was assumed in our calculations due to of the relatively steep inclination of the slope and the
estimated permeability of the on-site soils. The slope was calculated to have a minimum factor-of-safety
against shallow, surficial failures of 1.7, which meets the minimum (1.5) that is generally considered to be
stable.
Based on our research and observations, it appears that the slope has not experienced any surficial slope
failures since its construction in the 1970’s. However, care should be taken to ensure the proper drainage
of all surface runoff away from the slope areas and along slope faces. Furthermore, burrowing ground
squirrels and the saturation of the near surface soils along the face of slopes like the one at the subject
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 8
site often results in surficial failures where the outermost few feet of the soil mass fail roughly parallel to
the slope face. Care should be taken to ensure the proper drainage of all surface runoff away from the
slope areas and along slope faces. Saturation of the slopes caused by excessive or improperly channeled
runoff could detrimentally affect the surficial stability of the sloping site. Irrigation on and adjacent to the
slopes should be carefully monitored to make sure that only the minimum amount necessary to sustain
plant life is used.
LIQUEFACTION: The near-surface soils encountered at the site are not considered susceptible to liquefaction
due to such factors as soil density and the absence of shallow groundwater conditions. Therefore, the risk
associated with liquefaction at the site is considered to be negligible.
FLOODING: As delineated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), map number 06073C1034H
prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the site is in Zone X which is considered to be an
“area of minimal flood hazard.” Areas of minimal flood hazards are located outside of the boundaries of both
the 100-year and 500-year flood zones.
TSUNAMIS: Tsunamis are great sea waves produced by a submarine earthquake or volcanic eruption.
Review of the referenced Tsunami Inundation Map of the Encinitas Quadrangle indicates that the site is
located outside of the projected tsunami inundation area (CalEMA, 2009).
SEICHES: Seiches are periodic oscillations in large bodies of water such as lakes, harbors, bays or
reservoirs. Due to the site’s elevation, it is considered to have a negligible risk potential for seiches.
OTHER POTENTIAL GEOLOGIC HAZARDS: Other potential geologic hazards such as, volcanoes or
seismic-induced settlement should be considered to be negligible or nonexistent.
CONCLUSIONS
It is our professional opinion and judgment that no geotechnical conditions exist at or the general vicinity of
the subject property that would preclude the construction of the proposed ADU and retaining wall provided
the recommendations presented herein are followed. The main geotechnical conditions affecting the
proposed construction include potentially compressible fill soils, the Santiago Formation, and the existing
temporary cut slope. These conditions are discussed hereinafter.
Potentially compressible fill soils and Santiago Formation deposits extending a depth of about 1 foot from
existing grade were encountered in test pits T-1 and T-2. Deeper potentially compressible soils may exist in
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 9
areas of the site not investigated. These soils are considered unsuitable, in their present condition, for the
support of settlement-sensitive improvements. It is our understanding that these materials will be removed to
achieve finish pad grade. It is recommended that any remaining potentially compressible materials be
removed and replaced as compacted fill.
The near vertical temporary cut slope associated with the proposed retaining wall has been excavated at the
proposed wall location. The existing temporary cut slope configuration and proposed site configuration were
analyzed as past of our investigation. It is our opinion that the configurations have an adequate factor of
safety.
The site is located in an area that is relatively free of geologic hazards that will have a significant effect on the
proposed construction. The most likely geologic hazard that could affect the site is ground shaking due to
seismic activity along one of the regional active faults. However, construction in accordance with the
requirements of the most recent edition of the California Building Code and the local governmental agencies
should provide a level of life-safety suitable for the type of development proposed.
RECOMMENDATIONS
GRADING AND EARTHWORK
GENERAL: All grading should conform to the guidelines presented in the current edition of the California
Building Code, the minimum requirements of the City of Carlsbad, and the recommended Grading
Specifications and Special Provisions attached hereto, except where specifically superseded in the text of this
report.
PREGRADE MEETING: It is recommended that a pregrade meeting including the grading contractor, the
client, and a representative from Christian Wheeler Engineering be performed, to discuss the
recommendations of this report and address any issues that may affect grading operations.
OBSERVATION OF GRADING: Continuous observation by the Geotechnical Consultant is essential
during the grading operation to confirm conditions anticipated by our investigation, to allow adjustments in
design criteria to reflect actual field conditions exposed, and to determine that the grading proceeds in general
accordance with the recommendations contained herein.
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 10
CLEARING AND GRUBBING: Site preparation should begin with the removal of existing improvements
slated for demolition. The resulting debris and any existing vegetation and other deleterious materials in areas
to receive proposed improvements or new fill soils should be removed from the site.
SITE PREPARATION: It is recommended that existing fill soils and potentially compressible formational
soils underlying the proposed structure not removed to achieve finish pad grades be removed. Based on our
findings, maximum removal depth anticipated is about 1 foot from existing grade. However, deeper removals
may be needed in areas of the site not investigated or due to unforeseen conditions. Lateral removals limits
should comprise the perimeter of the proposed structure. Potentially compressible soils underlying exterior
settlement sensitive improvements should also be removed. No removals should be performed beyond
property lines or within 2 feet from the existing structure. All excavated areas should be approved by the
geotechnical engineer or his representative prior to replacing any of the excavated soils. The excavated
materials can be replaced as properly compacted fill in accordance with the recommendations presented in
the “Compaction and Method of Filling” section of this report. However, the existing fill encountered in the
test pits was found to contain abundant roots and may have to be thoroughly cleaned prior to placement as
compacted fill.
COMPACTION AND METHOD OF FILLING: In general, all structural fill placed at the site should be
compacted to a relative compaction of at least 90 percent of its maximum laboratory dry density as determined
by ASTM Laboratory Test D1557. Fills should be placed at or slightly above optimum moisture content, in lifts
six to eight inches thick, with each lift compacted by mechanical means. Fills should consist of approved earth
material, free of trash or debris, roots, vegetation, or other materials determined to be unsuitable by the
Geotechnical Consultant. Fill material should be free of rocks or lumps of soil in excess of 3 inches in maximum
dimension.
Utility trench backfill within 5 feet of the proposed structures and beneath all concrete flatwork or pavements
should be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of its maximum dry density.
SURFACE DRAINAGE: The drainage around the proposed improvements should be designed to collect
and direct surface water away from proposed improvements and the top of slopes toward appropriate
drainage facilities. Rain gutters with downspouts that discharge runoff away from the structures into
controlled drainage devices are recommended.
The ground around the proposed improvements should be graded so that surface water flows rapidly away
from the improvements without ponding. In general, we recommend that the ground adjacent to structure
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 11
slope away at a gradient of at least 5 percent for a minimum distance of 10 feet. If the minimum distance of 10
feet cannot be achieved, an alternative method of drainage runoff away from the building at the termination of
the 5 percent slope will need to be used. Swales and impervious surfaces that are located within 10 feet of the
building should have a minimum slope of 2 percent. It is essential that new and existing drainage patterns be
coordinated to produce proper drainage. Pervious hardscape surfaces adjacent to structures should be
similarly graded.
Drainage patterns provided at the time of construction should be maintained throughout the life of the
proposed improvements. Site irrigation should be limited to the minimum necessary to sustain landscape
growth. Over watering should be avoided. Should excessive irrigation, impaired drainage, or unusually high
rainfall occur, zones of wet or saturated soil may develop.
TEMPORARY CUT SLOPES
The contractor is solely responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary excavations and will
need to shore, slope, or bench the sides of trench excavations as required to maintain the stability of the
excavation sides. The existing on-site soils exposed in the temporary cut slope consist of Type B materials.
The contractor’s “competent person”, as defined in the OSHA Construction Standards for Excavations, 29
CFR, Part 1926, should evaluate the soil exposed in the excavations as part of the contractor’s safety process.
Our firm should be contacted to observe all temporary cut slopes during grading to ascertain that no
unforeseen adverse conditions exist. No surcharge loads such as foundation loads, or soil or equipment
stockpiles, vehicles, etc. should be allowed within a distance from the top of temporary slopes equal to half
the slope height.
FOUNDATIONS
GENERAL: Based on our findings and engineering judgment, the proposed structure and retaining wall may
be supported by conventional shallow continuous and isolated spread footings. The following
recommendations are considered the minimum based on the anticipated soil conditions after site preparation
as recommended in our geotechnical report is performed, and are not intended to be lieu of structural
considerations. All foundations should be designed by a qualified professional.
DIMENSIONS: Spread footings supporting the proposed structure should be embedded at least 12 inches
below lowest adjacent finish pad grade and at least 6 inchers into competent formational deposits, whichever is
more. Continuous and isolated footings should have a minimum width of 12 inches and 24 inches, respectively.
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 12
Spread footings supporting the proposed retaining wall should be embedded at least 18 inches below lowest
adjacent finish pad grade and should be at least 24 inches wide.
BEARING CAPACITY: Spread footings with a minimum depth and minimum width of 12 inches may be
designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per square foot (psf). This value may be
increased by 700 pounds per square foot for each additional foot of embedment and 500 pounds per square
foot for each additional foot of width up to a maximum of 8,000 pounds per square foot. These values may be
increased by one-third for combinations of temporary loads such as those due to wind or seismic loads.
FOOTING REINFORCING: Reinforcement requirements for foundations should be provided by a
structural designer. However, based on the expected soil conditions, we recommend that the minimum
reinforcing for continuous footings consist of at least 2 No. 5 bars positioned near the bottom of the footing
and 2 No. 5 bars positioned near the top of the footing.
LATERAL LOAD RESISTANCE: Lateral loads against foundations may be resisted by friction between the
bottom of the footing and the supporting soil, and by the passive pressure against the footing. The coefficient of
friction between concrete and soil may be considered to be 0.30. The passive resistance may be considered to be
equal to an equivalent fluid weight of 300 pounds per cubic foot. These values are based on the assumption that
the footings are poured tight against undisturbed soil. If a combination of the passive pressure and friction is
used, the friction value should be reduced by one-third.
FOUNDATION EXCAVATION OBSERVATION: All footing excavations should be observed by
Christian Wheeler Engineering prior to placing of forms and reinforcing steel to determine whether the
foundation recommendations presented herein are followed and that the foundation soils are as anticipated in
the preparation of this report. All footing excavations should be excavated neat, level, and square. All loose or
unsuitable material should be removed prior to the placement of concrete.
SETTLEMENT CHARACTERISTICS: The anticipated total and differential settlement is expected to be
less than about 1 inch and 1 inch over 40 feet, respectively, provided the recommendations presented in this
report are followed. It should be recognized that minor cracks normally occur in concrete slabs and
foundations due to concrete shrinkage during curing or redistribution of stresses, therefore some cracks
should be anticipated. Such cracks are not necessarily an indication of excessive vertical movements.
EXPANSIVE CHARACTERISTICS: The prevailing foundation soils are assumed to have a low expansion
potential (EI between 21 and 50). The recommendations within this report reflect these conditions.
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 13
FOUNDATION PLAN REVIEW: The final foundation plan and accompanying details and notes should be
submitted to this office for review. The intent of our review will be to verify that the plans used for construction
reflect the minimum dimensioning and reinforcing criteria presented in this section and that no additional
criteria are required due to changes in the foundation type or layout. It is not our intent to review structural
plans, notes, details, or calculations to verify that the design engineer has correctly applied the geotechnical
design values. It is the responsibility of the design engineer to properly design/specify the foundations and
other structural elements based on the requirements of the structure and considering the information
presented in this report.
SOLUBLE SULFATES: The water-soluble sulfate content of a selected soil sample from the site was
determined in accordance with California Test Method 417. The results of this test indicate that the soil
sample had a soluble sulfate content of 0.026 percent. Soils with a soluble sulfate content of less than 0.1
percent are considered to be negligible. However, it should be recognized that the sulfate content of surficial
soils may increase with time due to soluble sulfate in the irrigation water or fertilized use.
SEISMIC DESIGN FACTORS
The seismic design factors applicable to the subject site are provided below. The seismic design factors were
determined in accordance with the 2019 California Building Code. The site coefficients and adjusted
maximum considered earthquake spectral response acceleration parameters are presented in the following
Table I.
TABLE I: SEISMIC DESIGN FACTORS
Site Coordinates: Latitude
Longitude
33.086°
-117.259°

SM1=FvS1 0.546 g
SDS=2/3*SMS 0.802 g
SD1=2/3*SM1 0.364 g
Probable ground shaking levels at the site could range from slight to moderate, depending on such factors as
the magnitude of the seismic event and the distance to the epicenter. It is likely that the site will experience
the effects of at least one moderate to large earthquake during the life of the proposed improvements.
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 14
ON-GRADE CONCRETE SLABS
GENERAL: It is our understanding that the floor system of the proposed structure will consist of a concrete
slab-on-grade. The following recommendations are considered the minimum slab requirements based on the
soil conditions and are not intended in lieu of structural considerations. These recommendations assume that
the site preparation recommendations contained in this report are implemented.
INTERIOR FLOOR SLABS: The minimum slab thickness should be 4 inches (actual) and the slab should
be reinforced with at least No. 3 bars spaced at 18 inches on center each way. Slab reinforcement should be
supported on chairs such that the reinforcing bars are positioned at mid-height in the floor slab. The slab
reinforcement should extend down into the perimeter footings at least 6 inches.
UNDER-SLAB VAPOR RETARDERS: Steps should be taken to minimize the transmission of moisture
vapor from the subsoil through the interior slabs where it can potentially damage the interior floor coverings.
Local industry standards typically include the placement of a vapor retarder, such as plastic, in a layer of
coarse sand placed directly beneath the concrete slab. Two inches of sand are typically used above and below
the plastic. The vapor retarder should be at least 15-mil Stegowrap® or similar material with sealed seams and
should extend at least 12 inches down the sides of the interior and perimeter footings. The sand should have
a sand equivalent of at least 30, and contain less than 10% passing the Number 100 sieve and less than 5%
passing the Number 200 sieve. The membrane should be placed in accordance with the recommendation and
consideration of ACI 302, “Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction” and ASTM E1643, “Standards
Practice for Installation of Water Vapor Retarder Used in Contact with Earth or Granular Fill Under
Concrete Slabs.” It is the flooring contractor’s responsibility to place floor coverings in accordance with the
flooring manufacturer specifications.
EXTERIOR CONCRETE FLATWORK: Exterior concrete slabs on grade should have a minimum
thickness of 4 inches and be reinforced with at least No. 3 bars placed at 18 inches on center each way
(ocew). All slabs should be provided with weakened plane joints in accordance with the American Concrete
Institute (ACI) guidelines. Special attention should be paid to the method of concrete curing to reduce the
potential for excessive shrinkage cracking. It should be recognized that minor cracks occur normally in
concrete slabs due to shrinkage. Some shrinkage cracks should be expected and are not necessarily an
indication of excessive movement or structural distress.
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 15
EARTH RETAINING WALLS
FOUNDATIONS: Foundations for any proposed retaining walls should be constructed in accordance with
the foundation recommendations presented previously in this report.
PASSIVE PRESSURE: The passive pressure for the anticipated foundation soils may be considered to be
300 pounds per square foot per foot of depth. The upper foot of embedment should be neglected when
calculating passive pressures, unless the foundation abuts a hard surface such as a concrete slab. The passive
pressure may be increased by one-third for seismic loading. The coefficient of friction for concrete to soil
may be assumed to be 0.30 for the resistance to lateral movement. When combining frictional and passive
resistance, the friction should be reduced by one-third.
ACTIVE PRESSURE: The active soil pressure for the design of “unrestrained” earth retaining structures
with 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) slopping backfill may be assumed to be equivalent to the pressure of a fluid
weighing 65 pounds per cubic foot. This pressure does not consider any other surcharge. If any are
anticipated, this office should be contacted for the necessary increase in soil pressure. These values are based
on a drained backfill condition.
Seismic lateral earth pressures may be assumed to equal an inverted triangle starting at the bottom of the wall
with the maximum pressure equal to 10H pounds per square foot (where H = wall height in feet) occurring at
the top of the wall.
WATERPROOFING AND WALL DRAINAGE SYSTEMS: The need for waterproofing should be
evaluated by others. If required, the project architect should provide (or coordinate) waterproofing details for
the retaining walls. The design values presented above are based on a drained backfill condition and do not
consider hydrostatic pressures. The retaining wall designer should provide a detail for a wall drainage system.
Typical retaining wall drain system details are presented as Plate No. 3 of this report for informational
purposes. Additionally, outlet points for the retaining wall drain system should be coordinated with the
project civil engineer.
BACKFILL: Retaining wall backfill soils should be compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction.
Expansive or clayey soils should not be used for backfill material. The wall should not be backfilled until the
masonry has reached an adequate strength. If gravel is used for backfill, it should be wrapped in filter fabric and
capped with at least 24 inches of compacted fill.

LIMITATIONS
REVIEW, OBSERVATION AND TESTING
The recommendations presented in this report are contingent upon our review of final plans and
specifications. Such plans and specifications should be made available to the geotechnical engineer and
engineering geologist so that they may review and verify their compliance with this report and with the
California Building Code.
It is recommended that Christian Wheeler Engineering be retained to provide continuous soil engineering
services during the earthwork operations. This is to verify compliance with the design concepts,
specifications or recommendations and to allow design changes in the event that subsurface conditions differ
from those anticipated prior to start of construction.
UNIFORMITY OF CONDITIONS
The recommendations and opinions expressed in this report reflect our best estimate of the project
requirements based on an evaluation of the subsurface soil conditions encountered at the subsurface
exploration locations and on the assumption that the soil conditions do not deviate appreciably from those
encountered. It should be recognized that the performance of the foundations and/or cut and fill slopes may
be influenced by undisclosed or unforeseen variations in the soil conditions that may occur in the
intermediate and unexplored areas. Any unusual conditions not covered in this report that may be
encountered during site development should be brought to the attention of the geotechnical engineer so that
he may make modifications if necessary.
CHANGE IN SCOPE
This office should be advised of any changes in the project scope or proposed site grading so that we may
determine if the recommendations contained herein are appropriate. This should be verified in writing or
modified by a written addendum.
TIME LIMITATIONS
The findings of this report are valid as of this date. Changes in the condition of a property can, however,
occur with the passage of time, whether they be due to natural processes or the work of man on this or
adjacent properties. In addition, changes in the Standards-of-Practice and/or Government Codes may occur.
Due to such changes, the findings of this report may be invalidated wholly or in part by changes beyond our
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Page No. 17
control. Therefore, this report should not be relied upon after a period of two years without a review by us
verifying the suitability of the conclusions and recommendations.
PROFESSIONAL STANDARD
In the performance of our professional services, we comply with that level of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by members of our profession currently practicing under similar conditions and in the same locality.

C and/or Phi to be ignored in that range.
(2) An input value of 0.02 for Phi will set both Phi and
C equal to zero, with no water weight in the tension crack.
(3) An input value of 0.03 for Phi will set both Phi and
C equal to zero, with water weight in the tension crack.

Recommended Grading Specifications – General Provisions
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Appendix F, Page F-1
RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS - GENERAL PROVISIONS
REAGAN RESIDENCE ADU
2451 TORREJON PLACE
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
GENERAL INTENT
The intent of these specifications is to establish procedures for clearing, compacting natural ground,
preparing areas to be filled, and placing and compacting fill soils to the lines and grades shown on the
accepted plans. The recommendations contained in the preliminary geotechnical investigation report and/or
the attached Special Provisions are a part of the Recommended Grading Specifications and shall supersede
the provisions contained hereinafter in the case of conflict. These specifications shall only be used in
conjunction with the geotechnical report for which they are a part. No deviation from these specifications
will be allowed, except where specified in the geotechnical report or in other written communication signed
by the Geotechnical Engineer.
OBSERVATION AND TESTING
Christian Wheeler Engineering shall be retained as the Geotechnical Engineer to observe and test the
earthwork in accordance with these specifications. It will be necessary that the Geotechnical Engineer or his
representative provide adequate observation so that he may provide his opinion as to whether or not the
work was accomplished as specified. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to assist the Geotechnical
Engineer and to keep him appraised of work schedules, changes and new information and data so that he
may provide these opinions. In the event that any unusual conditions not covered by the special provisions
or preliminary geotechnical report are encountered during the grading operations, the Geotechnical Engineer
shall be contacted for further recommendations.
If, in the opinion of the Geotechnical Engineer, substandard conditions are encountered, such as
questionable or unsuitable soil, unacceptable moisture content, inadequate compaction, adverse weather, etc.,
construction should be stopped until the conditions are remedied or corrected or he shall recommend
rejection of this work.
Tests used to determine the degree of compaction should be performed in accordance with the following
American Society for Testing and Materials test methods:
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Appendix F, Page F-2
Maximum Density & Optimum Moisture Content - ASTM D1557
Density of Soil In-Place - ASTM D1556 or ASTM D6938
All densities shall be expressed in terms of Relative Compaction as determined by the foregoing ASTM
testing procedures.
PREPARATION OF AREAS TO RECEIVE FILL
All vegetation, brush and debris derived from clearing operations shall be removed, and legally disposed of.
All areas disturbed by site grading should be left in a neat and finished appearance, free from unsightly debris.
After clearing or benching the natural ground, the areas to be filled shall be scarified to a depth of 6 inches,
brought to the proper moisture content, compacted and tested for the specified minimum degree of
compaction. All loose soils in excess of 6 inches thick should be removed to firm natural ground which is
defined as natural soil which possesses an in-situ density of at least 90 percent of its maximum dry density.
When the slope of the natural ground receiving fill exceeds 20 percent (5 horizontal units to 1 vertical unit),
the original ground shall be stepped or benched. Benches shall be cut to a firm competent formational soil.
The lower bench shall be at least 10 feet wide or 1-1/2 times the equipment width, whichever is greater, and
shall be sloped back into the hillside at a gradient of not less than two (2) percent. All other benches should
be at least 6 feet wide. The horizontal portion of each bench shall be compacted prior to receiving fill as
specified herein for compacted natural ground. Ground slopes flatter than 20 percent shall be benched when
considered necessary by the Geotechnical Engineer.
Any abandoned buried structures encountered during grading operations must be totally removed. All
underground utilities to be abandoned beneath any proposed structure should be removed from within 10
feet of the structure and properly capped off. The resulting depressions from the above described procedure
should be backfilled with acceptable soil that is compacted to the requirements of the Geotechnical Engineer.
This includes, but is not limited to, septic tanks, fuel tanks, sewer lines or leach lines, storm drains and water
lines. Any buried structures or utilities not to be abandoned should be brought to the attention of the
Geotechnical Engineer so that he may determine if any special recommendation will be necessary.
All water wells which will be abandoned should be backfilled and capped in accordance to the requirements
set forth by the Geotechnical Engineer. The top of the cap should be at least 4 feet below finish grade or 3
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Appendix F, Page F-3
feet below the bottom of footing whichever is greater. The type of cap will depend on the diameter of the
well and should be determined by the Geotechnical Engineer and/or a qualified Structural Engineer.
FILL MATERIAL
Materials to be placed in the fill shall be approved by the Geotechnical Engineer and shall be free of
vegetable matter and other deleterious substances. Granular soil shall contain sufficient fine material to fill
the voids. The definition and disposition of oversized rocks and expansive or detrimental soils are covered in
the geotechnical report or Special Provisions. Expansive soils, soils of poor gradation, or soils with low
strength characteristics may be thoroughly mixed with other soils to provide satisfactory fill material, but only
with the explicit consent of the Geotechnical Engineer. Any import material shall be approved by the
Geotechnical Engineer before being brought to the site.
PLACING AND COMPACTION OF FILL
Approved fill material shall be placed in areas prepared to receive fill in layers not to exceed 6 inches in
compacted thickness. Each layer shall have a uniform moisture content in the range that will allow the
compaction effort to be efficiently applied to achieve the specified degree of compaction. Each layer shall be
uniformly compacted to the specified minimum degree of compaction with equipment of adequate size to
economically compact the layer. Compaction equipment should either be specifically designed for soil
compaction or of proven reliability. The minimum degree of compaction to be achieved is specified in either
the Special Provisions or the recommendations contained in the preliminary geotechnical investigation report.
When the structural fill material includes rocks, no rocks will be allowed to nest and all voids must be
carefully filled with soil such that the minimum degree of compaction recommended in the Special Provisions
is achieved. The maximum size and spacing of rock permitted in structural fills and in non-structural fills is
discussed in the geotechnical report, when applicable.
Field observation and compaction tests to estimate the degree of compaction of the fill will be taken by the
Geotechnical Engineer or his representative. The location and frequency of the tests shall be at the
Geotechnical Engineer's discretion. When the compaction test indicates that a particular layer is at less than
the required degree of compaction, the layer shall be reworked to the satisfaction of the Geotechnical
Engineer and until the desired relative compaction has been obtained.
Fill slopes shall be compacted by means of sheepsfoot rollers or other suitable equipment. Compaction by
sheepsfoot roller shall be at vertical intervals of not greater than four feet. In addition, fill slopes at a ratio of
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Appendix F, Page F-4
two horizontal to one vertical or flatter, should be trackrolled. Steeper fill slopes shall be over-built and cut-
back to finish contours after the slope has been constructed. Slope compaction operations shall result in all
fill material six or more inches inward from the finished face of the slope having a relative compaction of at
least 90 percent of maximum dry density or the degree of compaction specified in the Special Provisions
section of this specification. The compaction operation on the slopes shall be continued until the
Geotechnical Engineer is of the opinion that the slopes will be surficially stable.
Density tests in the slopes will be made by the Geotechnical Engineer during construction of the slopes to
determine if the required compaction is being achieved. Where failing tests occur or other field problems
arise, the Contractor will be notified that day of such conditions by written communication from the
Geotechnical Engineer or his representative in the form of a daily field report.
If the method of achieving the required slope compaction selected by the Contractor fails to produce the
necessary results, the Contractor shall rework or rebuild such slopes until the required degree of compaction
is obtained, at no cost to the Owner or Geotechnical Engineer.
CUT SLOPES
The Engineering Geologist shall inspect cut slopes excavated in rock or lithified formational material during
the grading operations at intervals determined at his discretion. If any conditions not anticipated in the
preliminary report such as perched water, seepage, lenticular or confined strata of a potentially adverse nature,
unfavorably inclined bedding, joints or fault planes are encountered during grading, these conditions shall be
analyzed by the Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Engineer to determine if mitigating measures are
necessary.
Unless otherwise specified in the geotechnical report, no cut slopes shall be excavated higher or steeper than
that allowed by the ordinances of the controlling governmental agency.
ENGINEERING OBSERVATION
Field observation by the Geotechnical Engineer or his representative shall be made during the filling and
compaction operations so that he can express his opinion regarding the conformance of the grading with
acceptable standards of practice. Neither the presence of the Geotechnical Engineer or his representative or
the observation and testing shall release the Grading Contractor from his duty to compact all fill material to
the specified degree of compaction.
CWE 2200260.01 June 15, 2020 Appendix F, Page F-5
SEASON LIMITS
Fill shall not be placed during unfavorable weather conditions. When work is interrupted by heavy rain,
filling operations shall not be resumed until the proper moisture content and density of the fill materials can
be achieved. Damaged site conditions resulting from weather or acts of God shall be repaired before
acceptance of work.
RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS - SPECIAL PROVISIONS
RELATIVE COMPACTION: The minimum degree of compaction to be obtained in compacted natural
ground, compacted fill, and compacted backfill shall be at least 90 percent. For street and parking lot
subgrade, the upper six inches should be compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction.
EXPANSIVE SOILS: Detrimentally expansive soil is defined as clayey soil which has an expansion index of
50 or greater when tested in accordance with the Uniform Building Code Standard 29-2.
OVERSIZED MATERIAL: Oversized fill material is generally defined herein as rocks or lumps of soil
over 6 inches in diameter. Oversized materials should not be placed in fill unless recommendations of
placement of such material are provided by the Geotechnical Engineer. At least 40 percent of the fill soils
shall pass through a No. 4 U.S. Standard Sieve.
TRANSITION LOTS: Where transitions between cut and fill occur within the proposed building pad, the
cut portion should be undercut a minimum of one foot below the base of the proposed footings and
recompacted as structural backfill. In certain cases that would be addressed in the geotechnical report, special
footing reinforcement or a combination of special footing reinforcement and undercutting may be required.
