In addition, we have reviewed the grading plan prepared by La Costa Engineering of Carlsbad,
California to address the proposed surface drainage around the the proposed single-family
residence. A minimum gradient of 2 percent may be implemented away from the structure
within hardscape areas to a minimum distance of 10 feet. In earth areas, this will be 5 percent.
Earth swales should have a minimum gradient of 2 percent and be directed to approved drainage
receptors.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

are shown on Plate No. 1.
DENNIS M4 THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT NO. 02-1147J2(A)
Prior to the remedial grading operation, brush and
vegetation were removed from the subject site. Subgrade
soils were overexcavated to a minimum depth of 3 feet below
proposed grade into competent bearing soils. These soils
were scarified to a depth of approximately 6 inches,
moisture conditioned and recompacted.
On-site soils consisting of silty sand and clayey sand were
placed and compacted in excess of 90 percent relative
density while maintaining a moisture content around optimum.
Compaction was achieved with the use of Caterpillar 983B and
977L trackloaders.
Based on our field observations and density test results, it
is our opinion that the grading operation for the proposed
single family residences was performed in accordance with
the referenced soil investigation report and local grading
ordinances.

Dear Mr. Mathis:
In accordance with your request, we have performed a limited
investigation of the soil conditions at the subject site. The
investigation was undertaken to provide the soil engineering
criteria for site grading and to recommend an appropriate
foundation system for the proposed residences.
The site was previously graded as cut and fill pads with a maximum
depth of fill of approximately 12 feet. Underlying the fill soils
was dense sandstone of the Santiago Formation.
It is our opinion that the proposed development is feasible
provided the recommendations herein are implemented during
construction.

INTRODUCTION
This is to present the findings and conclusions of a soils
investigation for four proposed single family residences to be
located on the north side of Levante Street, in the City of
Carlsbad, California.
The objectives of the investigation were to determine the existing
soils conditions and provide recommendations for site development.
In order to accomplish these objectives, eight (8) exploratory
trenches were excavated to a maximum depth of 13.0 feet;
undisturbed and loose bag samples were obtained, and laboratory
tests were performed.
SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The subject site is located on the north side of Levante Street,
in the City of Carlsbad, California. The site was previously
graded as cut and fill pads. Prior to the grading operation, the
site sloped moderately to the west. Vegetation consists of grass.
The proposed development includes the construction of four two-
story, wood-framed, single-family residences to be founded on
continuous footings with a slab-on-grade floor system.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
On March 28, 2002, eight exploratory trenches were excavated to a
maximum depth of 13.0 feet by a Caterpillar 416B backhoe equipped
with a 24 inch bucket. The approximate locations of the trenches
are shown on the attached Plate No. 1, entitled "Location of
Exploratory Trenches". A continuous log of the soils encountered
was recorded at the time of excavation and is shown on Plates No.
2 through 4 entitled "Summary Sheet".
The soils were visually and texturally classified according to the
filed identification procedures set forth on the attached Plate
No. 5 entitled "Uniform Soil Classification Chart.
SURFACE CONDITIONS
The surface soils encountered during the course of our
investigation were fill soils to a maximum depth of twelve (12)
feet. These soils consist of tan clayey sand and silty sand, with
a loose to medium dense consistency. The fill soils were underlain
by dense sandstone of the Santiago Formation (Tsa)

DENNIS MA THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT NO. 01-11-47J2
EXPANSIVE SOILS
An expansion test was performed on a representative sample of the
fill soils to determine volumetric change characteristics with
change in moisture content. An expansion index of 40 indicates a
low potential for expansion.
GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was not encountered during the course of our
investigation. Groundwater is anticipated at a depth greater than
150 feet. We do not expect groundwater to affect the proposed
development.
GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
A review of the available geological literature pertaining to the
site indicates the existence of the Rose Canyon Fault Zone
approximately 10.5 Km to the west. Ground shaking from this fault
or one of the major active faults in the region is the most likely
happening to affect the site. With respect to this hazard, the
site is comparable to others in the general area.
The proposed residential structures should be designed in
accordance with seismic design requirements of the 1997 Uniform
Building Code or the Structural Engineers Association of
California using the following seismic design criteria:
H V:
Seismic Zone Factor, Z 0.40 Table 16-I
Soil Profile Type SD Table 16-1
Seismic Coefficient, Ca 0.44 Table 16-Q
Seismic Coefficient, Cv 0.64 Table 16-R
Near-Source Factor, Na 1.0 Table 16-S
Near-Source Factor, Nv 1.0 Table 16-T
Seismic Source B Table 16-U
Based on the absence of shallow groundwater, type and consistency
of the underlying soils, it is our opinion that the potential for
liquefaction is very low.

DENNIS MA THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT NO. 01-114 7J2
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following conclusions and recommendations are based upon the
analysis of the data and information obtained from our soil
investigation. This includes visual inspection; field
investigation; laboratory testing and our general knowledge of the
soils native to the site. The site is suitable for the proposed
development provided the recommendations set forth are implemented
during construction.
GRADING AND EARTHWORK
Site grading should begin with clearing and grubbing, e.g. the
removal of vegetation and deleterious materials. It is our
understanding that The two existing pads will be graded into four
indivi.ual pads. Due to the transition between cut and fill on the
existing pads and the loose consistency in the upper 3 feet of the
existing fill soils, we recommend that the subgrade soils be
overexcavated to a minimum depth of three feet below proposed pad
grades, moisture conditioned 2 to 4 percent over optimum and
compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative density. The
overexcavation should extend a minimum of 5 feet beyond perimeter
footings. The actual depth and extent of removal should be
evaluated in the field at the time of excavation by a
representative of this firm. Grading should be done in accordance
with the attached appendix A.
FOUNDATION AND SLAB
Continuous footings and/or spread footings are suitable for use
and should extend a minimum of 18 inches for the two story
residential dwellings into the compacted fill soils. Continuous
footings should be 15 inches wide and reinforced with four #4
steel bars; two bars placed near the top of the footings and the
other two bars placed near the bottom of the footings.
Concrete floor slabs should be a minimum 4 inches thick.
Reinforcement should consist of #3 bars placed at 16 inches on
center each way. Slab reinforcement should be placed within the
middle third of the slab by supporting the steel on chairs or
concrete blocks "dobies". The slab should be underlain by 2 inches
of clean sand over a 10-mil visqueen moisture barrier. The effect
of concrete shrinkage will result in cracks in virtually all
concree slabs. To reduce the extent of shrinkage, the concrete
should be placed at a maximum of 4-inch slump. The minimum steel
recommended is not intended to prevent shrinkage cracks.
ri
DENNIS AM THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT NO. 01-1147J2
c. Where moisture sensitive floor coverings are anticipated over
the slab, the 10-mil plastic moisture barrier should be underlain
by a capillary break at least 4 inches thick, consisting of sand,
gravel or crushed rock not exceeding 3/4 inch in size with no more
than 5 -percent passing the #200 sieve.
SOIL BEARING VALUE
An allowable soil bearing value of 1500 pounds per square foot may
be used for the design of continuous and spread footings founded a
minimum of 12 inches into the compacted fill soils. This value may
be increased by 20 percent for each additional foot of width or
depth to a maximum value of 4500 lb/ft2 as set forth in the 1997
Edition of the Uniform Building Code, Table No. 18-1-A.
LATERAL SOIL PRESSURE
Lateral resistance to horizontal movement may be provided by the
soil passive pressure and the friction of concrete to soil. An
allowable passive pressure of 200 pounds per square foot per foot
of depth may be used. A coefficient of friction of 0.35 is
recommended. The soils passive pressure as well as the bearing
value may be increased by 1/3 for wind and seismic loading.
RETAINING WALLS
Unrestrained, cantilevered retaining walls with a level backfill
may be designed to resist an active equivalent fluid pressure of
35 pounds per cubic foot, while retaining walls with a 2 to 1
sloping backfill may be designed to resist an active equivalent
fluid pressure of 45 pounds per cubic foot. This pressure is based
on the backfill soils being free draining and non-expansive.
Backfill materials must be approved by the soils engineer prior to
use.
SETTLEMENT
Settlement of compacted fill soils is normal and should be
anticipated. Because of the minor thickness of the fill soil under
the proposed footings and the light building loads, the settlement
should be within acceptable limits.
DENNIS MA THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT NO. 01-1147J2
UTILITY TRENCH EXCAVATIONS
Excavations for on-site utility trenches may be made vertically
for shallow depths and must be either shored or sloped at 1k-I: 1V
for depths greater than 4 feet. Utilities should be bedded and
backfilled with clean sand or approved granular soil to a depth of
at least one foot over the pipe. This backfill should be uniformly
watered and compacted to a firm condition for pipe support. The
remainder of the backfill may be on-site soils or non-expansive
imported soils, which should be placed in thin lifts, moisture
conditiDned and compacted to at least 90 % relative compaction.
SLOPE SETBACK
Compacted fill soils that occur within 8 feet of the face of slope
possess poor lateral stability, even though they have been
certified with a relative compaction of 90 percent or better.
Proposed structures and other improvements that are located within
8 feet of the face of compacted fill slopes could suffer
differential movement as a result of the poor lateral stability of
these soils. Therefore, foundations and footings for the proposed
structures or other improvements should be placed at least 8 feet
back from the top of these slopes. Foundations placed closer to
the top of slope than 8 feet should be deepened such that the
bottom of the foundation is at least 8 feet back from the face of
the slope.
DRAINAGE
Adequate measures shall be undertaken to properly finish grade the
site after the structures and other improvements are in place,
such that the drainage water within the site and adjacent
properties is directed away from the foundations, footings, floor
slabs and the tops of slopes via surface swales and subsurface
drains towards the natural drainage for this area. Proper surface
and subsurface drainage will be required to minimize the potential
of water seeking the level of the bearing soils under the
foundations, footings and floor slabs, which may otherwise result
in undermining and differential settlement of the structures and
other improvements.

LIMITS OF INVESTIGATION
The recommendations provided in this report pertain only to the
site investigated and based upon the assumption that the soil
conditions do not deviate from those disclosed in the trenches. If
any variations or undesirable conditions are encountered during
construction, or if the proposed construction will differ from
that planned at the present time, East County Soil Consultation
and Engineering, Inc. should be notified so that supplemental
recommendations can be provided.
