EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the results of the geotechnical investigation SCSI performed for the subject
project. We understand that the project will consist of the design and construction of a one-story
building, pavements and storm water retention basins. The purpose of our work is to provide
conclusions and recommendations regarding the geotechnical aspects of the project.
SCSI explored the subsurface conditions by drilling four borings and four percolation test holes to
depths between about 5 and 391/2 feet below the existing ground surface. Kleinfelder (2001)
previously drilled one boring to a depth of about 331/2 feet below the existing ground surface in the
area of the planned building. An SCST engineer logged the current borings and test holes and
collected samples of the materials encountered for laboratory testing. SCST tested selected
samples from the borings to evaluate pertinent soil classification and engineering properties to
assist in developing geotechnical conclusions and recommendations.
The materials encountered in the borings and percolation test holes consist of young alluvial flood
plain deposits underlain by Santiago Formation. The alluvial deposits consist of loose to dense
silty to clayey sand and very stiff sandy fat clay. The Santiago Formation consists of dense to
very dense, weakly cemented silty to clayey sandstone and hard claystone. Groundwater was
encountered in borings B-I through B-3 at depths between about II 1/2 and 15 feet below the
existing ground surface.
SCSI performed four borehole percolation tests. The test results indicate infiltration rates
between <0.1 inch per hour and about 3.8 inches per hour. The infiltration rate of the actual soils
that will be encountered at the bottom of storm water retention basins could vary significantly
subsequent to grading.
The main geotechnical consideration affecting the planned development is the presence of
potentially compressible and potentially liquefiable alluvium. Existing fill, if encountered, should
be excavated in its entirety. In building areas, we recommend that alluvium within 5 feet of
existing or planned grade, whichever is deeper, be excavated and replaced as compacted fill. In
exterior slab areas, we recommend that alluvium within 2 feet of planned subgrade be excavated
and replaced as compacted fill. We expect that most of the onsite soils can be reused as
compacted fill. If the recommended remedial grading is performed, seismic settlements beneath
planned Building 0 are estimated to be about 2 inches total and 1 inch differential across the
structure. If the soils beneath the site liquefy, lateral spreading on the order of 3 feet could occur.
Based on the type of construction, we recommend that the planned building be supported on a
reinforced concrete mat foundation underlain by a geogrid-reinforced compacted fill mat. The mat
foundation and exterior concrete slabs-on-grade should be underlain by at least 2 feet of material
with an expansion index of 20 or less. We anticipate that most of the onsite soils will meet the
expansion index criteria. If the estimated settlements are deemed not tolerable by the project
structural engineer, then ground improvement, deep foundations, or other alternatives should be
considered. The grading and foundation recommendations presented herein may need to be
updated once final plans are developed.

INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of the geotechnical investigation SCSI performed for the subject
project. We understand that the project will consist of the design and construction of a one-story
building, pavements and storm water retention basins. The purpose of our work is to provide
conclusions and recommendations regarding the geotechnical aspects of the project. Figure 1
presents a site vicinity map. Figure 2 presents the site location on a United States Geologic
Survey 7.5 Minute Quadrangle Map.
SCOPE OF WORK
2.1 FIELD INVESTIGATION
SCST explored the subsurface conditions by drilling four borings and four percolation test
holes to depths between about 5 and 39V2 feet below the existing ground surface using a
truck-mounted drill rig equipped with a hollow stem auger. Kleinfelder (2001) previously
drilled one boring to a depth of about 33Y2 feet below the existing ground surface in the area
of the planned building using a truck-mounted drill rig equipped with a hollow stem auger.
Figure 3 shows the approximate locations of the borings and percolation test holes. An SCST
engineer logged the current borings and percolation test holes and collected samples of the
materials encountered for laboratory testing. Appendix I presents logs of the borings and the
percolation test holes. Soils are classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System
illustrated on Figure I-I.
2.2 LABORATORY TESTING
Selected samples were tested to evaluate pertinent soil classification and engineering
properties and enable development of geotechnical conclusions and recommendations. The
laboratory tests consisted of in situ moisture and density, grain size distribution, Atterberg
Limits, R-value, expansion index, fines content and corrosivity. Appendix II presents the
results of the laboratory tests and brief explanations of the test procedures.
2.3 PERCOLATION TESTING
We performed four borehole percolation tests. Appendix III presents the results of the tests.

SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is located within existing OMWD headquarters at 1966 Olivenhain Road in the City of
Encinitas, California. The site is located on the northern flank of the Encinitas Creek drainage
basin. Encinitas Creek flows in an east-west direction about 600 feet south of the site. The site is
occupied by various buildings, hardscape and landscape areas, and pavements for site access
and parking. Site elevations range from about 121 feet at the northwestern portion of the site to
about 115 feet at the southeastern portion of the site.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
We understand the proposed development will consist of a one-story building, pavements and
storm water retention basins. As currently planned, the Building D will have a finished floor
elevation of 122.12 feet. Minor grading with cuts and fills less than 5 feet deep will be required to
achieve finished site elevations.
GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The site is located within the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Province of California, which
stretches from the Los Angeles basin to the tip of Baja California. This province is characterized
as a series of northwest trending mountain ranges separated by subparallel fault zones, and a
coastal plain of subdued Iandforms. The mountain ranges are underlain primarily by Mesozoic
metamorphic rocks that were intruded by plutonic rocks of the southern California batholith, while
the coastal plain is underlain by subsequently deposited marine and non-marine sedimentary
formations. The site is located in the coastal plain portion of the province and is underlain by
young alluvial flood plain deposits and Santiago Formation. Descriptions of the materials are
presented below. Figure 4 presents the regional geology in the vicinity of the site.
Young Alluvial Flood Plain Deposits (Ova): The alluvial deposits consist of loose to dense
silty to clayey sand and very stiff sandy fat clay. The alluvium encountered in the borings
extends to depths between about 25 and 38 feet below the existing ground surface.
Santiago Formation (Tsa: The Santiago Formation underlies the alluvium. The Santiago
Formation materials consists of dense to very dense, weakly cemented silty to clayey
sandstone and hard claystone.
Groundwater - Groundwater was encountered in borings B-I through B-3 at depths between
about I1Y2 and 15 feet below the existing ground surface. Groundwater levels may fluctuate
in the future due to rainfall, irrigation, broken pipes, or changes in site drainage.

6. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
6.1 FAULTING AND SURFACE RUPTURE
The closest known active fault is the Rose Canyon fault zone (Del Mar section) located about
6 miles west of the site (Figure 4) capable of producing a 7.2 moment magnitude earthquake.
The site is not located in an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. No active faults are known
to underlie or project toward the site. Therefore, the probability of fault rupture is low.
6.2 CBC SEISMIC DESIGN PARAMETERS
A geologic hazard likely to affect the project is groundshaking as a result of movement along
an active fault zone in the vicinity of the subject site. The site coefficients and adjusted
maximum considered earthquake spectral response accelerations in accordance with the
2013 CBC are presented below:
Site Coordinates: Latitude 33.067760
Longitude -117.24652°
Site Class: D
Site Coefficients, Fa = 1.080
F= 1.594
Mapped Spectral Response Acceleration at Short Period, S = 1.051g
Mapped Spectral Response Acceleration at 1-Second Period, S1 = 0.406g
Design Spectral Acceleration at Short Period, SDs = 0.756g
Design Spectral Acceleration at 1-Second Period, S01 = 0.431g
Site Peak Ground Acceleration, PGAM = 0.448g
6.3 LIQUEFACTION, DYNAMIC SETTLEMENT AND LATERAL SPREADING
Liquefaction is a process in which soil grains in a saturated deposit lose contact after the
occurrence of earthquakes or other sources of ground shaking. The soil deposit temporarily
behaves as a viscous fluid; pore pressures rise, and the strength of the deposit is greatly
diminished. Liquefiable soils typically consist of cohesionless sands and silts that are loose to
medium dense, and saturated. Recent studies also show that some relatively soft cohesive
soils can be subject to cyclic softening during significant earthquake shaking. To liquefy,
saturated soils must be subjected to ground shaking of sufficient magnitude and duration. For
our analysis we used a PGA of 0.448g, an earthquake magnitude of 7.2 and a groundwater
depth of 10 feet. Based on our analysis, there is a potential for liquefaction to occur within the
loose to medium dense alluvial sands underlying the site. Dynamic and post-liquefaction
settlements beneath Building D are estimated to be about 3 inches total and 11/2 inches
differential across the structure. We also performed the analysis assuming that the top 5 feet
of soil would be over-excavated and recompacted. Based on this analysis, the settlements are
estimated to be about 2 inches total beneath Building D and 1 inches differential across the
structure. Based on our analysis, the site is also susceptible to lateral spreading. If the soils
beneath the site liquefy, lateral spreading on the order of 3 feet could occur.

6.4 LANDSLIDES AND SLOPE STABILITY
Evidence of landslides or slope instabilities was not observed. The potential for landslides or
slope instabilities to occur at the site is considered negligible.
6.5 TSUNAMIS, SEICHES AND FLOODING
The site is not located within a mapped area on the State of California Tsunami Inundation
Maps (Cal EMA, 2009); therefore, damage due to tsunamis is considered negligible. Seiches
are periodic oscillations in large bodies of water such as lakes, harbors, bays, or reservoirs.
The site is not located adjacent to any lakes or confined bodies of water; therefore, the
potential for a seiche to affect the site is negligible. Portions of the site are located within a
mapped 100-year floodplain (County of San Diego, 2012). We understand that fill will be
placed to elevate Building D about 2 feet above the mapped 100-year floodplain.
6.6 SUBSIDENCE
The site, is not located in an area of known subsidence associated with fluid withdrawal
(groundwater or petroleum); therefore, the potential for subsidence due to the extraction of
fluids is low.
6.7
Hydro-consolidation can occur in recently deposited (less than 10,000 years old) sediments
that were deposited in a semi-arid environment. Examples of such sediments are aolian
sands, alluvial fan deposits, and mudflow sediments deposited during flash floods. The pore
space between particle grains can re-adjust when inundated by groundwater causing the
material to consolidate. The upper alluvial deposits are susceptible to hydra-consolidation.
The recommended remedial grading of the upper soils should effectively mitigate this hazard.
7. CONCLUSIONS
The main geotechnical consideration affecting the planned development is the presence of
potentially compressible and potentially liquefiable alluvium. The loose alluvial soils that cover the
site are potentially compressible and susceptible to settlement from static structural or fill loads.
They are also susceptible to dynamic settlement under seismic loading. The saturated alluvium is
potentially liquefiable and susceptible to post-liquefaction settlement. If the recommended
remedial grading of the upper soils is performed, we estimate that dynamic and post-liquefaction
settlements will be about 2 inches total and 1 inch differential beneath Building D. If the soils
beneath the site liquefy, lateral spreading on the order of 3 feet could occur.
To reduce the liquefaction hazard, either the soils can be densified through ground improvement
or the effects of liquefaction can be reduced through a combination of remedial grading and
structural mitigation. If selected, various ground improvement methods, including compaction
grouting, deep sail mixing, or jet grouting, could be used at the site to mitigate the liquefiable soils
Infrastructure Engineering Corporation March 3, 2016
OMWD Building D SCST No. 160105P3-1
Encinitas, California Page 5
and reduce settlements. If ground improvement is used, verification testing should be performed
upon completion to confirm that the liquefiable soils have been sufficiently densified.
For relatively small, lightweight structures such as the planned building, the cost of ground
improvement may not be practical if the effects of potential liquefaction can be reduced by
constructing a geogrid-reinforced compacted fill mat and a rigid reinforced concrete mat
foundation. The grading and foundation recommendations presented in this report assume that
the effects of the estimated seismic settlements can be sufficiently reduced by remedial grading
and by structural design. If the estimated settlements are deemed not tolerable by the structural
engineer, then ground improvement, deep foundations or other alternatives should be considered.
8. RECOMMENDATIONS
8.1 SITE PREPARATION AND GRADING
8.1.1 Site Preparation
Site preparation should begin with the removal of existing improvements, vegetation and
debris. Subsurface improvements that are to be abandoned should be removed, and the
resulting excavations should be backfilled and compacted in accordance with the
recommendations of this report. Pipeline abandonment can consist of capping or
rerouting at the project perimeter and removal within the project perimeter. If appropriate,
abandoned pipelines can be filled with grout or slurry as recommended by and observed
by the geotechnical consultant.
8.1.2 Remedial Grading - Building Areas
We recommend that remedial grading be performed beneath the planned building to
improve structural support and reduce the effects of static and seismic settlements.
Existing fill, if encountered, should be excavated in its entirety. Alluvium within 5 feet of
existing or planned grade, whichever is deeper, should be excavated. Horizontally, the
bottom of excavation should extend at least 5 feet outside planned perimeter foundations
or up to existing improvements, whichever is less. Prior to placing fill, we recommend
placing a layer of Tensar TX5 or equivalent reinforcing geogrid at the base of the
excavation. The geogrid layer should extend at least 3 feet beyond the edge of the
foundation. An SCST representative should observe conditions exposed in the bottom of
excavations to determine if additional excavation is required.
If the base of the excavation is wet and yielding, it can be stabilized by placing a layer of
%-inch crushed rock over the geogrid. A minimum 1-foot thick layer rock is typically
needed. Prior to placing compacted fill, a layer of nonwoven filter fabric (Mirafi 140N or
equivalent) should be placed above the crushed rock to prevent fines from washing into
the voids of the %-inch crushed gravel, which could result in post construction settlement.
Infrastructure Engineering Corporation March 3, 2016
OMWD Building D SCST No. 160105P3-1
Encinitas, California Page 6
8.1.3 Remedial Grading - Pavement and Exterior Slab Areas
Existing fill, if encountered, should be excavated in its entirety. Alluvium should be
excavated to a depth of 2 feet below finished subgrade elevation. Horizontally, the
excavations should extend at least 2 feet outside the perimeter of the planned
improvement or up to existing improvements, whichever is less. An SCSI representative
should observe conditions exposed in the bottom of the excavation to determine if
additional excavation is required.
8.1.4 Compacted Fill
Prior to placing geogrid or fill, the exposed surface at the bottom of excavation should be
scarified to a depth of 12 inches, moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture content
and compacted to at least 90% relative compaction. Material with an expansion index of
20 or less determined in accordance with ASTM D4829 should be used from 2 feet below
the deepest planned foundation bottom level to finished pad grade elevation. Exterior
concrete slabs-on-grade should be underlain by at least 2 feet of material with an
expansion index of 20 or less. We expect that most of the excavated soils will meet the
expansion index criteria and can be reused as compacted fill.
Excavated material, except for roots, debris and rocks greater than 6 inches, can be used
as compacted fill. Fill should be moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture content
and compacted to at least 90% relative compaction. Fill should be placed in horizontal lifts
at a thickness appropriate for the equipment spreading, mixing, and compacting the
material, but generally should not exceed 8 inches in loose thickness. The maximum dry
density and optimum moisture content for the evaluation of relative compaction should be
determined in accordance with ASTM D1557. Utility trench backfill beneath structures,
pavements and slabs-on-grade should be compacted to at least 90% relative compaction.
The top 12 inches of subgrade beneath pavements should be compacted to at least 95%
relative compaction.
8.1.5 Imported Soil
Imported soil should consist of predominately granular soil free of organic matter and
rocks greater than 6 inches. Imported soil should have an expansion index of 20 or less
and should be inspected and, if appropriate, tested by SCSI prior to transport to the site.
8.1.6 Expansive Soil
The onsite soils tested have a very low expansion potential. The recommendations
presented in this report reflect a very low expansion potential.
Infrastructure Engineering Corporation March 3, 2016
OMWD Building D SCST No. 160105P3-1
Encinitas, California Page 7
8.1.7 Temporary Excavations
Temporary excavations 3 feet deep or less can be made vertically. Deeper temporary
excavations should be laid back no steeper than 1:1 (horizontal:vertical). The faces of
temporary slopes should be inspected daily by the contractor's Competent Person before
personnel are allowed to enter the excavation. Any zones of potential instability,
sloughing or raveling should be brought to the attention of the Engineer and corrective
action implemented before personnel begin working in the excavation. Excavated soils
should not be stockpiled behind temporary excavations within a distance equal to the
depth of the excavation. SCST should be notified if other surcharge loads are anticipated
so that lateral load criteria can be developed for the specific situation. If temporary slopes
are to be maintained during the rainy season, berms are recommended along the tops of
slopes to prevent runoff water from entering the excavation and eroding the slope faces.
Slopes steeper than those described above will require shoring. Additionally, temporary
excavations that extend below a plane inclined at 1/2:1 (horizontal:vertical) downward
from the outside bottom edge of existing structures or improvements will require shoring.
A shoring system consisting of soldier piles and lagging can be used.
8.1.8 Temporary Shoring
For design of cantilevered shoring, an active soil pressure equal to a fluid weighing 35 pcf
can be used for level retained ground or 55 pcf for 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) sloping ground.
The surcharge loads on shoring from traffic and construction equipment adjacent to the
excavation can be modeled by assuming an additional 2 feet of soil behind the shoring.
For design of soldier piles, an allowable passive pressure of 350 psf per foot of
embedment over three times the pile diameter up to a maximum of 5,000 psf can be used.
Soldier piles should be spaced at least three pile diameters, center to center. Continuous
lagging will be required throughout. The soldier piles should be designed for the full-
anticipated lateral pressure; however, the pressure on the lagging will be less due to
arching in the soils. For design of lagging, the earth pressure can be limited to a
maximum value of 400 psf.
8.1.9 Slopes
All permanent slopes should be constructed no steeper than 2:1 (horizontal:vertical).
Faces of fill slopes should be compacted either by rolling with a sheep-foot roller or other
suitable equipment, or by overfilling and cutting back to design grade. All slopes are
susceptible to surficial slope failure and erosion. Water should not be allowed to flow over
the top of slopes. Additionally, slopes should be planted with vegetation that will reduce
the potential for erosion.

8.1.10 Site Excavation Characteristics
It is anticipated that excavations can be achieved with conventional earthwork equipment
in good working order.
8.1.11 Surface Drainage
Final surface grades around structures should be designed to collect and direct surface
water away from the structure and toward appropriate drainage facilities. The ground
around the structure should be graded so that surface water flows rapidly away from the
structure without ponding. In general, we recommend that the ground adjacent to the
structure slope away at a gradient of at least 2%. Densely vegetated areas where runoff
can be impaired should have a minimum gradient of at least 5% within the first 5 feet from
the structure. Roof gutters with downspouts that discharge directly into a closed drainage
system are recommended on structures. Drainage patterns established at the time of fine
grading should be maintained throughout the life of the proposed structures. Site irrigation
should be limited to the minimum necessary to sustain landscape growth. Should
excessive irrigation, impaired drainage, or unusually high rainfall occur, saturated zones of
perched groundwater can develop.
8.1.12 Grading Plan Review
SCST should review the grading plans and earthwork specifications to ascertain whether
the intent of the recommendations contained in this report have been implemented, and
that no revised recommendations are needed due to changes in the development scheme.
8.2 FOUNDATIONS
8.2.1 Mat Foundations
Due to the potential for ground movement during a seismic event, we recommend that the
building be constructed on a mat foundation unless ground improvement is performed.
Mat foundations should be underlain by compacted fill. A modulus of subgrade reaction of
200 pounds per cubic inch (pci) can be used for structural design. An allowable bearing
capacity of 1,500 pounds per square foot (psf) can be used. The bearing value can be
increased by % when considering the total of all loads, including wind or seismic forces.
Footings located adjacent to or within slopes should be extended to a depth such that a
minimum horizontal distance of 7 feet exists between the lower outside footing edge and
the face of the slope.
8.2.2 Resistance to Lateral Loads
Lateral loads will be resisted by friction between the bottoms of foundations and passive
pressure on the faces of foundations and other structural elements below grade. An
allowable coefficient of friction of 0.30 can be used. Passive pressure can be computed "It 'IL
Infrastructure Engineering Corporation March 3, 2016
OMWD Building 0 SCST No. 160105P3-1
Encinitas, California Page 9
using an allowable lateral pressure of 350 psf per foot of depth below the ground surface
for level ground conditions. The passive pressure can be increased by % when
considering the total of all loads, including wind or seismic forces. The upper I foot of soil
should not be relied on for passive support unless the ground is covered with pavements
or slabs.
8.2.3 Settlement Characteristics
The estimated mat foundation settlements are as follows:
Static: 1 inch total
% inch differential over a distance of 40 feet
Seismic: 2 inches total
1 inch differential across the structure
8.2.4 Moisture Protection
Moisture protection should be installed beneath the mat foundation where moisture
sensitive floor coverings will be used. The project architect should review the tolerable
moisture transmission rate of the proposed floor covering and specify an appropriate
moisture protection system. Typically, a plastic vapor barrier is used. Minimum 10-mil
plastic is recommended. The plastic should comply with ASTM El 745. The vapor barrier
installation should comply with ASTM E1643.
Construction practice often includes placement of a 2-inch thick sand cushion between the
bottom of the concrete slab and the vapor barrier. This cushion can provide some
protection to the vapor barrier during construction, and may assist in reducing the potential
for edge curling in the slab during curing. However, the sand layer also provides a source
of moisture to the underside of the slab that can increase the time required to reduce
vapor emissions to limits acceptable for the type of floor covering placed on top of the
slab. The slab can be placed directly on the vapor barrier.
8.2.5 Foundation Plan Review
SCST should review the foundation plans to ascertain that the intent of the
recommendations in this report has been implemented and that revised recommendations
are not necessary as a result of changes after this report was completed.
8.2.6 Foundation Excavation Observations
A representative from SCST should observe the foundation excavations prior to forming or
placing reinforcing steel.
8.3 EXTERIOR SLABS-ON-GRADE
The top 2 feet of material below exterior concrete slabs-on-grade should have an expansion
index of 20 or less determined in accordance with ASTM D4829. Exterior slabs should be at
ON

Encinitas, California Page 10
least 4 inches thick and reinforced with at least No. 3 bars at 18 inches on center each way.
Slabs should be provided with weakened plane joints. Joints should be placed in accordance
with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines. The project architect should select the
final joint patterns. A 1-inch maximum size aggregate mix is recommended for concrete for
exterior slabs. The corrosion potential of on-site soils with respect to reinforced concrete will
need to be taken into account in concrete mix design. Coarse and fine aggregate in concrete
should conform to the "Greenbook" Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction.
8.4 CONVENTIONAL RETAINING WALLS
8.4.1 Foundations
Retaining walls can be supported on shallow spread footings with bottoms levels on
compacted fill. Footings should extend at least 18 inches below lowest adjacent finished
grad and should be at least 24 inches wide. An allowable bearing capacity of 2,500 psf
can be used. The bearing value can be increased by 1/3 when considering the total of all
loads, including wind or seismic forces. Footings located adjacent to or within slopes
should be extended to a depth such that a minimum horizontal distance of 7 feet exists
between the lower outside footing edge and the face of the slope. The recommendations
provided above for resistance to lateral loads are applicable for retaining wall foundations.
8.4.2 Lateral Earth Pressures
The active earth pressure for the design of unrestrained retaining walls with level backfill
can be taken as equivalent to the pressure of a fluid weighing 35 pcf. The at-rest earth
pressure for the design of restrained retaining walls with level backfills can be taken as
equivalent to the pressure of a fluid weighing 55 pcf. These values assume a granular
and drained backfill condition. An additional 20 pcf should be added to these values for
walls with a 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) sloping backfill. An increase in earth pressure
equivalent to an additional 2 feet of retained soil can be used to account for surcharge
loads from light traffic. The above values do not include a factor of safety. Appropriate
factors of safety should be incorporated into the design. If any other surcharge loads are
anticipated, SCST should be contacted for the necessary increase in soil pressure.
Retaining walls should be designed to resist hydrostatic pressures or be provided with a
backdrain to reduce the accumulation of hydrostatic pressures. Backdrains can consist of
a 2-foot wide zone of %-inch crushed rock separated from the adjacent soils using a
nonwoven filter fabric (Mirafi 140N or equivalent). Weep holes should be provided or a
perforated pipe should be installed at the base of the backdrain and sloped to discharge to
a suitable storm drain facility. As an alternative, a geocomposite drainage system such as
Miradrain 6000 or equivalent placed behind the wall and connected to a suitable storm
drain facility can be used. The project architect should provide waterproofing specifications
and details. Figure 5 presents typical conventional retaining wall backdrain details.

Encinitas, California Page 11
8.4.3 Seismic Earth Pressure
If required, the seismic earth pressure can be taken as equivalent to the pressure of a fluid
weighing 16 pcf. This value is for level backfill and does not include a factor of safety.
Appropriate factors of safety should be incorporated into the design. This pressure is in
addition to the un-factored, static active earth pressure. The passive pressure and
bearing capacity can be increased by % in determining the seismic stability of the wall.
8.4.4 Backfill
Wall backfill should consist of granular, free-draining material. Expansive or clayey soil
should not be used. Additionally, backfill within 3 feet from the back of the wall should not
contain rocks greater than 3 inches in dimension. We anticipate that a portion of the
onsite soils will be suitable for wall backfill. Backfill should be compacted to at least 90%
relative compaction. Backfill should not be placed until walls have achieved adequate
structural strength. Compaction of wall backfill will be necessary to minimize settlement of
the backfill and overlying settlement sensitive improvements. However, some settlement
should still be anticipated. Provisions should be made for some settlement of concrete
slabs and pavements supported on backfill. Additionally, any utilities supported on backfill
should be designed to tolerate differential settlement.
8.5 MECHANICALLY STABILIZED EARTH RETAINING WALLS
The following soil parameters can be used for design of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE)
retaining walls.
MSE Wall flAskin Psrsmstsrs
Soil Parameter Reinforced Soil Retained Soil Foundation Soil
Internal Friction Angle 320 320 32°
Cohesion 1 0 0 0
Moist Unit Weight 1 125 pcf 125 pcf 125 pcf
The reinforced soil should consist of granular, free-draining material with an expansion index
of 20 or less. The bottom of MSE walls should extend to such a depth that a total of 5 feet
exists between the bottom of the wall and the face of the slope. Figure 6 presents a typical
MSE retaining wall backdrain detail. MSE retaining walls may experience lateral movement
over time. The wall engineer should review the configuration of proposed improvements
adjacent to the wall and provide measures to help reduce the potential for distress to these
improvements from lateral movement.

8.6 PIPELINES
8.6.1 Thrust Blocks
For level ground conditions, a passive earth pressure of 350 psf per foot of depth below
the lowest adjacent final grade can be used to compute allowable thrust block resistance.
A value of 150 psf per foot should be used below groundwater level, if encountered.
8.6.2 Modulus of Soil Reaction
A modulus of soil reaction (E') of 2,000 psi can be used to evaluate the deflection of buried
flexible pipelines. This value assumes that granular bedding material is placed adjacent to
the pipe and is compacted to at least 90% relative compaction.
8.6.3 Pipe Bedding
Pipe bedding as specified in the "Greenbook" Standard Specifications for Public Works
Construction can be used. Bedding material should consist of clean sand having a sand
equivalent not less than 30 and should extend to at least 12 inches above the top of pipe.
Alternative materials meeting the intent of the bedding specifications are also acceptable.
Samples of materials proposed for use as bedding should be provided to the engineer for
inspection and testing before the material is imported for use on the project. The onsite
materials are not expected to meet "Greenbook" bedding specifications. The pipe bedding
material should be placed over the full width of the trench. After placement of the pipe, the
bedding should be brought up uniformly on both sides of the pipe to reduce the potential
for unbalanced loads. No voids or uncompacted areas should be left beneath the pipe
haunches. Ponding or jetting the pipe bedding should not be allowed.
8.7 PAVEMENT SECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
The pavement support characteristics of the soils encountered during our investigation are
considered moderate. An R-value of 26 was assumed for design of preliminary pavement
sections. The actual R-value of the subgrade soils should be determined after grading and
final pavement sections be provided. Based on an R-value of 26, the following pavement
structural sections are recommended for the assumed Traffic Indices.

The top 12 inches of subgrade should be scarified, moisture conditioned to near optimum
moisture content and compacted to at least 95% relative compaction. Aggregate base and
asphalt concrete should be compacted to at least 95% relative compaction. All soft or yielding
areas should be removed and replaced with compacted fill or aggregate base. All materials
and methods of construction should conform to good engineering practices and the minimum
local standards.
8.8 PERVIOUS PAVEMENT SECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
Pervious pavement section recommendations are based on Caltrans (2014) pavement
structural design guidelines. The pavement sections below are based on the strength of the
materials. However, the actual thickness of the sections may be controlled by the reservoir
layer design, which the project civil engineer should determine.

The top 12 inches of subgrade should be scarified, moisture conditioned to near optimum
moisture content and compacted to at least 95% relative compaction if infiltration is not used.
Infrastructure Engineering Corporation March 3, 2016
OMWD Building D SCST No. 160105P3-1
Encinitas, California Page 14
The permeable base should consist of a Caltrans Class 4 Aggregate Base. All soft or yielding
subgrade areas should be removed and replaced with compacted fill or permeable base if
infiltration is used. All materials and methods of construction should conform to good
engineering practices and the minimum local standards.
We recommend installing deepened curbs or vertical cutoff membranes consisting of 30 mil
HDPE or PVC at the edges of pervious pavements to reduce the potential for water-related
distress to adjacent structures or improvements. The membrane should extend below the
reservoir section. If infiltration is not used, the membrane should also be placed between the
subgrade and pervious base, and a suitable subdrain system should be installed.
8.9 SOIL CORROSIVITY
A representative sample of the onsite soils was tested to evaluate corrosion potential. The
test results are presented in Appendix II. The project design engineer can use the sulfate
results in conjunction with ACI 318 to specify the water/cement ratio, compressive strength
and cementitious material types for concrete exposed to soil. A corrosion engineer should be
contacted to provide specific corrosion control recommendations.
8.10 INFILTRATION
We performed four borehole percolation tests at the approximate locations shown on Figure 3.
Appendix III presents the results of the tests. The test results indicate infiltration rates
between <0.1 inch per hour and about 3.8 inches per hour. The infiltration rate of the actual
soils that will be encountered at the bottom of storm water retention basins could vary
significantly subsequent to grading. An adequate safety factor should be applied to the
infiltration rate during design of the proposed infiltration facilities. Site characteristics such as
excessive slope of the drainage area, fine-grained soil types, and proximate location of the
water table may preclude the use of an infiltration basin. Generally, infiltration basins are not
suitable for areas with relatively impermeable soils containing clay and silt or in areas with fill.
Further testing of the actual basin subgrade soils is recommend following grading.
Additionally, infiltration basins will require periodic maintenance to function as intended.
9. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING DURING CONSTRUCTION
The geotechnical engineer should review project plans and specifications prior to bidding and
construction to check that the intent of the recommendations in this report has been incorporated.
Observations and tests should be performed during construction. If the conditions encountered
during construction differ from those anticipated based on the subsurface exploration program,
the presence of the geotechnical engineer during construction will enable an evaluation of the
exposed conditions and modifications of the recommendations in this report or development of
additional recommendations in a timely manner.

APPENDIX I
FIELD INVESTIGATION
Our field investigation consisted of a visual reconnaissance of the site drilling four borings and
four percolation test holes on February 8, 2016 to depths between about 5 and 391A feet below
the existing ground surface using a truck-mounted drill rig equipped with a hollow stem auger.
Kleinfelder (2001) previously drilled one boring to a depth of about 33Y2 feet below the existing
ground surface in the area of the planned building using a truck-mounted drill rig equipped with a
hollow stem auger. Figure 3 shows the approximate locations of the borings and percolation test
holes. The field investigation was performed under the observation of an SCSI engineer who
also logged the borings and test holes and obtained samples of the materials encountered.
Relatively undisturbed samples were obtained using a modified California (CAL) sampler, which is
ring-lined split tube sampler with a 3-inch outer diameter and 2V2-inch inner diameter. Standard
Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed using a 2-inch outer diameter and 1%-inch inner
diameter split tube sampler. The CAL and SPT samplers were driven with a 140-pound weight
dropping 30 inches. The number of blows needed to drive the samplers the final 12 inches of an
18-inch drive is noted on the borings logs as "Driving Resistance (blows/foot of drive)? SPT and
CAL sampler refusal was encountered when 50 blows were applied during any one of the three 6-
inch intervals, a total of 100 blows was applied, or there was no discernible sampler advancement
during the application of 10 successive blows. The SPT penetration resistance was normalized to
a safety hammer (cathead and rope) with a 60% energy transfer ratio in accordance with ASTM
D6066. The normalized SPT penetration resistance is noted on the boring logs as "N60."
Disturbed bulk samples were obtained from the SPT sampler and drill cuttings.
The soils are classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System as illustrated on
Figure I-I. Logs of the current borings and percolation test holes are presented on Figures 1-2
through 1-12. The log of the previous Kleinfelder boring is also included.

APPENDIX II
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were performed to provide geotechnical parameters for engineering analyses.
The following tests were performed:
CLASSIFICATION: Field classifications were verified in the laboratory by visual
examination. The final soil classifications are in accordance with the Unified Soil
Classification System.
IN SITU MOISTURE AND DENSITY: The in situ moisture content and dry unit weight
were determined on samples collected from the borings. The test results are presented
on the boring logs in Appendix I.
GRAIN SIZE DISTRIBUTION: The grain size distribution was determined on one soil
sample in accordance with ASTM D422. Figure Il-I presents the test results.
ATTERBERG LIMITS: The Atterberg limits were determined on one soil sample in
accordance with ASTM 04318. Figure Il-I presents the test results.
FINES CONTENT: The amount of material finer than the No. 200 sieve was determined
on three samples in accordance with ASTM D1140. Figure 11-2 presents the test results.
R-VALUE: An R-value test was performed on one sample in accordance with California
Test Method 301. Figure 11-2 presents the test result.
EXPANSION INDEX: The expansion index was determined on one sample in accordance
with ASTM D4829. Figure 11-2 presents the test results.
CORROSIVITY: Corrosivity tests were performed on one soil sample. The pH and
minimum resistivity were determined in accordance with California Test 643. The soluble
sulfate content was determined in accordance with California Test 417. The total chloride
ion content was determined in accordance with California Test 422. Figure 11-2 presents
the test results.
Soil samples not tested are now stored in our laboratory for future reference and analysis, if
needed. Unless notified to the contrary, all samples will be disposed of 30 days from the date of
this report.

APPENDIX Ill
BOREHOLE PERCOLATION TESTING
We performed falling head borehole percolation testing at four locations (P-I through P-4) in
general conformance with Appendix C of the Model BMP Design Manual for San Diego Region.
The borings were prepared for percolation testing by placing about 6 inches of pea gravel in the
bottom of the test hole and then installing a 4-inch diameter solid PVC pipe from the top of the
pea gravel (about 41,4 feet below the existing ground surface) to about 2 feet above the ground
surface. Pea gravel was placed in the annular space between the PVC pipe and the boring
sidewall between the depths of about 41/2 feet and about 2% feet below the ground surface;
hydrated bentonite chips were placed above about 21/2 feet. Prior to starting the percolation
testing, the test holes were presoaked overnight (approximately 16 hours) by filling the holes with
water. The percolation testing was performed immediately after presoaking by filling the test
holes with clean potable water to the top of the PVC pipe and measuring the drop in the water
level every 30 minutes until a constant rate was established. Figures Ill-I through 111-4 present
the results of the testing.
