Attention: Mr. Cameron St. Clair
Subject: Temporary Excavations for the Retaining Wall – Lot 13
Proposed Oceanview Project
Twain Avenue
Carlsbad, California
Dear Mr. St. Clair:
As requested, GeoTek, Inc., (GeoTek) has prepared this letter to provide supplemental analysis
and recommendations for the temporary excavation of the retaining wall backcut for Lot 13.
Introduction
Lot 13 is a designed cut lot based on proposed pad grades designed lower than existing grades.
To facilitate the building pad, a retaining wall is proposed along the north and northeast.
Behind the retaining wall is a biological sensitive area that cannot be disturbed. The retaining
wall is anticipated to be constructed with a reinforced concrete foundation and concrete
masonry unit design. The maximum height of the exposed wall face is approximately 10 feet.
The wall is anticipated to have a 2 foot deep footing and due to the proximity of the retaining
wall adjacent to a biological sensitive area, the wall will need a near vertical temporary backcut
to construct the retaining wall. Also due to the design constraints, the wall footing is
anticipated to have a small heal and large toe. The temporary backcut for the retaining wall
outside the maximum height of the wall can facilitate a conventional backcut gradient of 1:1
(horizontal : Vertical), with exception to a localized section that will require a ¾ : 1 temporary
backcut excavation This condition is considered to be less critical than the vertical backcut
condition.
Analysis
In preparation of this letter, onsite information, laboratory test results and analysis were
reviewed, as well as readily available geotechnical information of the area based on a public
records request for the development along Twain Avenue. In addition, a site walk of the area
as well as the existing subdivision along Twain Avenue was observed. Soil strength design

parameters were based upon existing onsite and offsite information, as well as engineering
judgement. It should be noted that along the north side of Tolkien Way, approximately 100
feet northwest of Twain Avenue, a vertical 10 foot exposure of Old Paralic deposits exists in a
natural state of global stability. This condition appears to predate the existing development
along Twain Avenue, which was developed between 2002 and 2005.
Geologic section C-C’ was prepared and modeled in Slide2 version 7.0 for temporary global
stability analysis. The analysis modeled a 10 foot vertical excavation in Paralic deposits plus an
anticipated additional 2 feet of excavation for the retaining wall footing for a total vertical
excavation of 12 feet. The existing offsite 2-story residential building located at 2090 Twain
Avenue is approximately 23 feet north of the top of temporary excavation and is deemed far
enough away to not influence the excavation.
Conclusion and Supplemental Recommendations
The static global stability analysis results in a Factor of Safety (FOS) of 1.3 based on the soil
strength parameters applied and in a competent excavation (i.e. fractures and tensions cracks
absent) and meets the minimum FOS for temporary excavations considered by City of San
Diego and peer industry standards. A copy of the temporary global stability analysis is
presented in Appendix A.
GeoTek’s analysis does not relieve the contractor from their own analysis and conclusions as
the contractor is responsible for the health and safety of their employees while working.
Excavation means and methods, including employee safety is the responsibility of the employer,
not GeoTek. The employer of the workers should follow CalOSHA guidelines, which include
designating a competent person to evaluate the safety environment of the site.
GeoTek’s analysis is based on our experience at the site, reviewing offsite conditions, and
available information. As such, not every condition can be anticipated and a representative of
the project engineering geologist or soil engineer should be present during the temporary
backcut excavation to identify if conditions are presented that do not meet the assumptions as
analyzed herein. Observations should be periodic thereafter until the retaining wall has been
erected and grouted up to five feet in height.
Work area between the back of the retaining wall and the temporary excavation is anticipated
to be one foot or less. As such, placement of soil derived engineered fills is anticipated to be
difficult and unsafe. An alternative to soil derived engineered backfill is ¾ inch crushed gravel
or pea gravel wrapped in Mirafi 140N filter fabric. As an alternative to the gravel and fabric,
CalTrans Permeable Base can be utilized. The upper one to two feet should be capped with
engineered fill.

Dear Mr. St. Clair:
As requested, GeoTek, Inc., (GeoTek) has prepared this letter to provide supplemental analysis
and recommendations to respond to the City of Carlsbad review comments regarding the
temporary excavation of the retaining wall backcut for Lot 13. The City review comments
were marked directly on GeoTek’s referenced 2023 report. Screen shots of the review
comments are provided and GeoTek’s responses follow.
Initially, the temporary stability analysis was performed based on assumed wall heights and
footing configurations. Since the analysis was performed structural retaining wall plans have
been prepared by Sergin Engineering Inc. as sheets 15 through 18 of the grading plan set, and
provided to GeoTek for review and analysis.

Response to Review Comment No. 1
The retaining wall structural plans have been reviewed. As previously mentioned, due to
construction constraints with a biologically sensitive area a steep backcut is required along a
portion of Lot 13. A section was analyzed along the Typical Section B-B’ on sheet 3 of 5 as
noted on the Grading plans prepared by Pasco Laret Suiter & Associates (PLSA).
Based on a review of the retaining wall plans, the overall depth of the footings is a minimum of
9” below finish grade, plus 18” deep footing, plus a 48” deep key. This designed cut has been
modeled for GeoTek’s temporary slope stability analysis.

The grading for lot 13 is anticipated to be entirely cut to finished design grade including the
foundation for the retaining wall. Overexcavation is not required for the retaining wall
foundation.
Review Comment No. 2
Response to Review Comment No. 2
The retaining wall along Lot 13 can be described as an angular configuration with a beginning
daylight condition at the rear of the property. The height of the retaining wall increases to the
northeast to a retained height of 10 feet at an angle point where the wall turns to an easterly
direction for approximately 80 linear feet and has a maximum retained height of 12 feet. The
anticipated wall backcut is considered to be at the most critical 40 feet before and after the
angle point. Outside this area, the height of the wall backcut is reduced or the contractor can
excavate the backcut at a gradient less than vertical. Global static stability analysis was
performed on the anticipated temporary vertical cuts in this area of 12 to 18.25 feet. Results of
the analysis indicated a factor of safety (FOS) of 1.3.

The area of critical analysis was assessed based on the retaining wall design detail 13A/13 on
sheet 17 of the PLSA plan set. This wall is analyzed to be pushed back to the property line as a
conservative approach (the civil plan shows the wall 3 feet away from the property line).
As previously discussed, soil strength design parameters were based upon existing onsite and
offsite information, as well as engineering judgement. The strength of the soil’s cohesion was
increased by 50 pcf and is considered to be reasonable based on judgement.
Results of the analysis concludes that the proposed backcut for the retaining wall along lot 13
to a maximum height of 18.25 feet and at the configuration of the retaining wall footings is
geotechnically suitable for a temporary condition. If wall design changes in height or footing
configuration, a revised analysis will be needed.

CalOSHA provides temporary excavation guidelines for prescriptive conditions (based on soil
type and groundwater). The prescriptive conditions are soil type A, B, and C. A summary of
prescriptive conditions is presented in Appendix B. Based on our understanding of the earth
materials, they are classified as soil type B. CalOSHA also provides prescriptive temporary
excavation diagrams for soil type B. Temporary excavations not conforming to prescriptive
design may follow Option 4 of the CalOSHA guidelines:
Option (4) - Design by a registered professional engineer.
A) Sloping and benching systems not utilizing Option (1) or Option (2) or Option (3) under
Section 1541.1(b) shall be stamped and signed by a registered professional engineer.
B) Designs shall be in written form and shall include at least the following:
1) The magnitude of the slopes that were determined to be safe for the particular
project;
2) The configurations that were determined to be safe for the particular project;
3) The identity of the registered professional engineer approving the design.
C) At least one copy of the design shall be maintained at the jobsite while the slope is being
constructed. After that time the design need not be at the jobsite, but a copy shall be
made available to the Division upon request.

The first paragraph under Conclusions and Recommendations of GeoTek’s 2023 report states
the temporary excavation meets pier industry guidelines for temporary stability. The second
paragraph states that GeoTek’s analysis is not intended to relieve an Employer’s responsibility
to their Employees for working within the effects of this temporary excavation condition and
are not relieved of responsibility or duties to their employees to provide a safe working
environment.
Conclusion and Supplemental Recommendations
The static global stability analysis results in a Factor of Safety (FOS) of 1.3 based on the soil
strength parameters applied and in a competent excavation (i.e. fractures and tensions cracks
absent) and meets the minimum FOS for temporary excavations considered by City of San
Diego and peer industry standards. A copy of the temporary global stability analysis is
presented in Appendix A.
GeoTek’s analysis does not relieve the contractor from their own analysis and conclusions as
the contractor is responsible for the health and safety of their employees while working.
Excavation means and methods, including employee safety is the responsibility of the employer,
not GeoTek. The employer of the workers should follow CalOSHA guidelines, which include
designating a competent person to evaluate the safety environment of the site.
The subject retaining wall may be excavated into formational material. No overexcavation of
the footing is recommended as long as it is bearing on competent formational material.
GeoTek’s analysis is based on our experience at the site, reviewing offsite conditions, and
available information. As such, not every condition can be anticipated, and a representative of
the project engineering geologist or soil engineer should be present during the temporary
backcut excavation to identify if conditions are presented that do not meet the assumptions as
analyzed herein. Observations may be periodic after the retaining wall has been erected and
grouted up to five feet in height.
The work area between the back of the retaining wall and the temporary excavation is
anticipated to be one foot or less. As such, placement of soil derived engineered fills is
anticipated to be difficult and unsafe. An alternative to soil derived engineered backfill is ¾ inch
crushed gravel or pea gravel wrapped in Mirafi 140N filter fabric. As an alternative to the

Prescriptive CalOSHA Soil Types
GEOTEK
California Code of Regula ons, Title 8, Sec on 1541.1. Requirements for Protec ve Systems, Appendix A
Type A soil. Cohesive soils with an unconfined, compressive strength of 1.5 ton per
square foot (tsf) or greater. Examples of cohesive soils are: clay, silty clay, sandy clay,
clay loam and, in some cases, silty clay loam and sandy clay loam. Cemented soils
such as caliche and hardpan are also considered Type A. However, no soil is Type A
if:
(1) The soil is fissured; or
(2) The soil is subject to vibration from heavy traffic, pile driving, or similar effects;
or
(3) The soil has been previously disturbed; or
(4) The soil is part of a sloped, layered system where the layers dip into the
excavation on a slope of four horizontal to one vertical (4H:1V) or greater; or
(5) The material is subject to other factors that would require it to be classified as a
less stable material.
Type B soil:
(1) Cohesive soil with an unconfined compressive strength greater than 0.5 tsf but less
than 1.5 tsf; or
(2) Granular cohesionless soils including: angular gravel (similar to crushed rock),
silt, silt loam, sandy loam and, in some cases, silty clay loam and sandy clay loam.
(3) Previously disturbed soils except those which would otherwise be classed as Type
C soil.
(4) Soil that meets the unconfined compressive strength or cementation requirements
for Type A, but is fissured or subject to vibration; or
(5) Dry rock that is not stable; or
(6) Material that is part of a sloped, layered system where the layers dip into the
excavation on a slope less steep than four horizontal to one vertical (4H:1V), but only
if the material would otherwise be classified as Type B.
Type C soil:
(1) Cohesive soil with an unconfined compressive strength of 0.5 tsf or less; or
(2) Granular soils including gravel, sand, and loamy sand; or
(3) Submerged soil or soil from which water is freely seeping; or
(4) Submerged rock that is not stable, or
(5) Material in a sloped, layered system where the layers dip into the excavation or a
slope of four horizontal to one vertical (4H:1V) or steeper.
Unconfined compressive strength. The load per unit area at which a soil will fail in
compression. It can be determined by laboratory testing, or estimated in the field
using a pocket penetrometer, by thumb penetration tests, and other methods.
Wet soil. Soil that contains significantly more moisture than moist soil, but in such a
range of values that cohesive material will slump or begin to flow when vibrated.
Granular material that would exhibit cohesive properties when moist will lose those
cohesive properties when wet.

Dear Mr. St. Clair:
As requested, GeoTek, Inc., (GeoTek) has prepared this letter to respond to the City of
Carlsbad third party geotechnical review comments regarding the temporary excavation of the
retaining wall backcut for Lot 13. The review comments correspond to the numbers on the
review sheet. Comment number 1 is a summary of the geotechnical reviewer’s understanding
of the proposed excavations, a question was not stated. A copy of the review comment letter
dated July 28, 2023 is present in Appendix A.
In preparation of this response, a supplemental field exploration, laboratory testing, and
engineering analysis was performed. The field exploration and laboratory testing is discussed in
detail in response to Review Comment No. 2.

Response to Comment No. 2
The increased strength parameters applied to the stability analysis associated with the
temporary cut at Lot 13 presented in GeoTek’s 2023d report were applied based on
engineering judgement from our experience in the area for the formational material. The soil
strengths presented in Christian Wheeler Engineering report represented proposed engineered
fill, not formation. As a follow up, a supplemental geotechnical subsurface evaluation of Lot 13
was performed on August 10, 2023. The subsurface evaluation was performed with a limited
access, rubber track mounted, drilling rig. A solid stem auger with a typical 3.0 inch outside
diameter, split barrel sampler, was utilized to obtain relatively undisturbed soil samples. The
boring and samples were logged by an engineer from GeoTek. Samples obtained were
transported to GeoTek’s laboratory for engineering analysis. The approximate location of the
boring is presented on Figure 2 – Geotechnical Map. A description of the boring log is
provided in Appendix B.
Direct Shear testing was performed in a direct shear machine of the strain-control type in
general accordance with ASTM Test Method D 3080 procedures. The rate of deformation is
approximately 5.3 x 10-3 inches per minute. The samples were sheared under varying confining
loads to determine the coulomb shear strength parameters, angle of internal friction and
cohesion. Two tests were performed on relatively undisturbed samples obtained from the
supplemental subsurface evaluation at depths of 5 and 10 feet. The results of the tests are
graphically presented in Appendix C.
Comment No. 3
Please provide slope stability analysis for the proposed 18’ vertical cut that uses the strength
parameters (C=100 psf and Φ=33) that are supported by the laboratory testing of the Old
Paralic deposits performed at Lot 1 (T-1 by Christian Wheeler) and reported in the “Updated
Geotechnical Evaluation…” by GeoTek. Please include searches for potential failure surfaces
extending from the bottom of the key of the proposed footing and up to the highest point of
the proposed backcut. Please provide the plots (including the plot showing the trial runs) and
print-outs associated with the analysis.
Response to Comment No. 3
The soil strengths obtained from Christian Wheeler Engineering were the results from a
remolded soil sample representing anticipated engineered fill soil strength. The material
exposed during the temporary excavation of lot 13 (Old Paralic deposits) will be native.
Therefore, the engineered soil strength values (C=100 psf and Φ=33) do not represent the
anticipated conditions during the temporary excavation and a slope stability analysis utilizing the
parameters of C=100 psf and Φ=33 is not valid. See GeoTek’s response to Comment No. 4
for slope stability analysis modeled for the temporary excavation exposing Old Paralic deposits.

northeast sides of Lot 13 that will apparently be necessary to construct the proposed retaining
wall. Please provide specific recommendations for the temporary cuts (maximum allowable
vertical height of cuts, inclination of temporary slopes, slot-cutting, etc.) or temporary shoring
as necessary to prevent any adverse impact from the proposed grading/wall construction work
on the adjacent off-site property and promote worker safety.
Response to Comment No. 4
As noted in GeoTek’s response to Comment No. 3, soil strength values of Cohesion of 100 psf
and Phi angle of 33o do not apply. As supplemental laboratory testing is available, the soil
strengths applicable to the temporary excavation associated with Lot 13 have been applied.
The temporary slope stability analysis referenced in GeoTek’s July 20, 2023 response was
modified to represent the anticipated temporary grading conditions most critical condition.
The modifications include a geologic bedding contact line between stratigraphic soil types within
the Old Paralic deposits (noted as Qop1 and Qop2). Soil strengths based on relatively
undisturbed samples representing in-situ conditions were applied to the Old Paralic deposits.
The temporary stability analysis was performed for a static condition based on the following
changes.
1) Analysis performed based on the model from GeoTek’s July 20, 2023 report and
modified with soil strengths referenced within this report.
2) Refining the search boundaries to the bottom of the proposed retaining wall key to the
highest point behind the proposed backcut.
3) Showing up to 100 slip surfaces.
The output for the analytical model is presented in Appendix C and includes the output report,
as requested in Comment No. 3.
The reviewer should consider the following discussion when reviewing the revised analysis. The
analysis performed in GeoTek’s July 20, 2023 letter was performed with an open search
between the search boundaries. This is represented by the blue arrow brackets. The search
analyzes potential paths of failure within these boundary conditions and included the bottom of
the retaining wall footing and the tallest point of the backcut. However, based upon your
request in Comment No. 3, the boundary conditions have been limited to the bottom of the
retaining wall key and extended to the end of the stability section (station no. 120).
The previous analysis was performed to show the path of potential failure with the lowest
Factor of Safety (FOS). This was applied, so that the model would not be obscured with all
GEOTEK

Ocean View Point Response to Comments July 28, 2023 August 24, 2023
Twain Avenue, Carlsbad, California Page 4
potential failure paths with higher FOSs. As requested in Comment No. 3 trial runs depicting
other potential failure surfaces are presented in the analysis herein, but limited to 100 so as to
not obscure the model. It should be noted that all 100 potential failure paths are limited within
a precise narrow band.
Based on the revised analysis, the excavation associated with the retaining wall is stable as a
temporary condition. Further recommendations for a temporary excavation plan are
presented in Response to Comment No. 5.
Comment No. 5
Without relieving the contractor of their responsibilities and obligations during construction of
temporary slopes as indicated by the geotechnical consultant in the “Response to City of
Carlsbad Cycle No. 3 Review Comments…” and with comment #4 above in mind – CalOSHA
guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 1541.1 (“Requirements for
Protection Systems,” Appendix A), Option 4 (design by a registered professional engineer)
indicates, in part, that the registered professional should in writing a) state the magnitude of
slopes that were determined to be safe and b) provide the slope configurations that were
determined to be safe for the particular project. If the geotechnical consultant is advocating the
use of vertical cuts that exceed the Cal OSHA guidelines for the specific soil type (A, B, or C),
the above statements should be provided by the geotechnical consultant. In the absence of the
registered professional providing the above the temporary slope inclination provided for the
designated Cal OSHA soil type (in this case soil type B has been provided by the geotechnical
consultant) should be used for the temporary cuts.
Response to Comment No. 5
Based on GeoTeks analysis presented herein and not relieving the contractor of responsibilities
discussed in GeoTek’s “Response to City of Carlsbad Cycle No. 3 Review Comments” dated
July 20, 2023, the temporary excavation for the retaining wall associated with Lot 13 may follow
Option 4 of CalOSHA guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 1541.1
provided the following conditions and recommendations are implemented into the construction
phases of the project.
Temporary Excavation Conditions for all Slots Associated with Lot 13
1. These recommendations are limited to the areas noted as slot cuts A, B, and C on
Figure 3.
2. The wall will be constructed as designed by Sergin Engineering, Inc., based on the
referenced plan set date.

3. All slot cuts will be excavated, the foundation and retaining wall constructed before the
next slot is excavated. This does not include the lower planter wall, which can be
constructed in a continuous phase upon completion to the retaining wall designed to be
constructed against the temporary excavation.
4. Where an existing slot cut is excavated adjacent to a future slot cut (for example Slot A
is adjacent to future Slot B), the temporary excavation should be sloped no steeper than
a 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) away from the Slot under construction. Where a slot cut
has been constructed, a temporary earthen berm is not recommended, provided the
constructed wall has been grouted solid for a period of seven days.
5. The temporary excavation exposes Dense to Very Dense undisturbed Old Paralic
deposits. The temporary excavation does not expose friable sands, non-healed
fractures or joints at a depth greater than 24 inches below the top of the backcut or
expose adverse geologic conditions.
6. All temporary excavations are to be continuously monitored by a Professional Engineer
and/or Engineering Geologist from GeoTek, Inc.
Temporary Excavations for Slot A
Maximum excavation of 15.5 feet, including retaining wall foundation footing. The excavation at
its maximum vertical excavation shall not be taller nor steeper than required to be constructed.
Where the heal of the foundation footing is within the grading limits, the backcut of the
excavation shall be inclined from the heal of the foundation footing to the limits of grading.
Figure 4A depicts the tallest cut condition.
Temporary Excavations for Slot B
Maximum excavation of 18 feet, including retaining wall foundation footing. The excavation at
its maximum vertical excavation shall not be taller nor steeper than required to be constructed.
Where the heal of the foundation footing is within the grading limits, the backcut of the
excavation shall be inclined from the heal of the foundation footing to the limits of grading.
Figure 4B depicts the tallest cut condition.
Temporary Excavations for Slot C
Maximum excavation of 21.5 feet, including retaining wall foundation footing. The excavation at
its maximum vertical excavation shall not be taller nor steeper than required to be constructed,
which is 4 feet at the foundation stem wall footing. Where the heal of the foundation footing is
within the grading limits, the backcut of the excavation shall be inclined from the heal of the
foundation footing to the limits of grading. This will result in a temporary excavation from

grading limits that transitions from Slot B to Slot D, from a near vertical to a 1:2 temporary cut
to the top of the retaining wall footing. Figure 4C depicts the tallest cut condition.
Temporary Excavations for Slot D
Maximum excavation of 21.5 feet, including retaining wall foundation footing. The excavation at
its maximum vertical excavation shall not be taller nor steeper than required to be constructed,
which is 4 feet at the foundation stem wall footing. Where the heal of the foundation footing is
within the grading limits, the backcut of the excavation shall be inclined from the heal of the
foundation footing to the limits of grading. This will result in a temporary excavation from
grading limits that transitions from Slot B at an approximate 1:2 and transition to a 1:1
temporary cut to the top of the retaining wall footing. Figure 4D depicts the tallest cut
condition.

“Response to City of Carlsbad Cycle No. 3
Review Comments, Temporary Excavations for
Retaining Wall – Lot 13, Proposed Oceanview
Project, Twain Avenue, Carlsbad, California,” by
GeoTek, dated July 20, 2023.
Written report review comments.
Based on our review of the submitted geotechnical reports as they relate to temporary slope
stability, we are providing the following comments that should be addressed prior to the next
submittal. Please provide complete and thorough written responses to all comments.
GEOTECHNICAL COMMENTS:
1. Review of the most recent “Response to City of Carlsbad Cycle No. 3 Review
Comments…” by GeoTek indicates temporary cuts for the proposed retaining wall at Lot
13 will range up to approximately 16 to 18’ (including the depth of footing).
2. Please provide the justification for the strength parameters (C=350 and Φ=35) for the Old
Paralic deposits used in the slope stability analysis for the proposed temporary cut at Lot
13 that is presented in the “Response to City of Carlsbad Cycle No. 3 Review
GR2021-0043
July 28, 2023
Page 2 of 2
Comments…”. If increased strength parameters above the C=100 psf and Φ=33 that are
supported by the laboratory testing of the Old Paralic deposits performed at Lot 1
approximately 200’ from the subject Lot 13 (T-1 by Christian Wheeler) and reported in the
“Updated Geotechnical Evaluation…” by GeoTek are proposed, please provide complete
justification and site-specific laboratory testing to substantiate the values for the temporary
slope stability analysis.
3. Please provide slope stability analysis for the proposed 18’ vertical cut that uses the
strength parameters (C=100 psf and Φ=33) that are supported by the laboratory testing of
the Old Paralic deposits performed at Lot 1 (T-1 by Christian Wheeler) and reported in the
“Updated Geotechnical Evaluation…” by GeoTek. Please include searches for potential
failure surfaces extending from the bottom of the key of the proposed footing and up to
the highest point of the proposed backcut. Please provide the plots (including the plot
showing the trial runs) and print-outs associated with the analysis.
4. Based on the additional analysis requested above, please provide updated
recommendations as necessary addressing the up to approximate 18’ high temporary
vertical cut along the north and northeast sides of Lot 13 that will apparently be necessary
to construct the proposed retaining wall. Please provide specific recommendations for the
temporary cuts (maximum allowable vertical height of cuts, inclination of temporary slopes,
slot-cutting, etc.) or temporary shoring as necessary to prevent any adverse impact from
the proposed grading/wall construction work on the adjacent off-site property and promote
worker safety.
5. Without relieving the contractor of their responsibilities and obligations during construction
of temporary slopes as indicated by the geotechnical consultant in the “Response to City
of Carlsbad Cycle No. 3 Review Comments…” and with comment #4 above in mind - Cal-
OSHA guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 1541.1 (“Requirements
