1. INTRODUCTION
In accordance with your request and our proposal dated August 1, 2008, we have performed a
preliminary geotechnical evaluation of the slope failure located on Camino Hills Drive at
Jackspar Drive in Carlsbad, California (Figure 1). This report presents our preliminary conclu-
sions regarding the geotechnical conditions at the subject site and our recommendations for
additional subsurface evaluation at the site.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Ninyo & Moore's scope of services for this project included review of pertinent background data,
previous geotechnical reports, performance of a subsurface evaluation, and engineering analysis
with regard to the subject slope. Specifically, we performed the following tasks:
• Reviewing readily available published geotechnical literature, including geologic maps, geo-
technical reports, engineering plans, and aerial photographs.
• Performing a field reconnaissance to observe site conditions and to mark the locations of our
subsurface explorations.
• Contacting Underground Service Alert to clear the proposed subsurface exploration location
for conflicts with buried utilities.
• Obtaining City of Carlsbad Right-of-Way permits.
• Performing subsurface exploration consisting of the digging, logging and sampling of
two exploratory test pits. Bulk soil samples were obtained at selected intervals from the test pit.
• Performing geotechnical laboratory testing on selected samples.
• Compiling and analyzing the data obtained.
• Preparing this report presenting our preliminary geotechnical findings, conclusions, and rec-
ommendations regarding the subject slope failure. Evaluating the global stability of the
overall slope was beyond the scope of this report.

3. SITE DESCRIPTION
As noted, the project involves the evaluation of a slope failure, which occurred on the south side
of Camino Hills Drive, just west of Jackspar Drive, in Carlsbad, California. The failed area is
located at the base of a 25 foot high, 2:1 (horizontal:vertical), northwest-facing slope which par-
allels Camino Hills Drive. The slope failure is approximately 85 feet wide at the toe of the slope
and extends approximately 8 feet laterally into Camino Hills Drive. The southward (upslope) ex-
tent of the failure is not known. Observed distress features included an approximately 3-inch
bulge in the street pavement and sidewalk, and approximately 3 inches of movement of the side-
walk and curb to the northwest. The elevation of the project site varies from approximately
140 feet above mean sea level (MSL) at the toe of the failure to approximately 170 feet above
MSL at the top of the slope. The slope is heavily vegetated with a moderate to dense growth of
ground cover shrubs and moderately sized trees. Our evaluation of the subject slope failure was
restricted to the Camino Hills Drive right-of-way.
4. SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
Our subsurface exploration was conducted on September 17, 2008 and consisted of excavating
two exploratory test pits using a John Deere 410 backhoe to a depth of approximately 8 feet.
Bulk soil samples were obtained at selected intervals from the test pits. The approximate loca-
tions of the test pits are shown on Figure 2. The test pit logs are presented in Appendix A.
Laboratory testing of representative soil samples included moisture content, Atterberg limits,
maximum dry density and optimum moisture content, and corrosivity. The results of the labora-
tory tests performed are presented in Appendix B.
5. GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Our findings regarding site geology and groundwater conditions are provided in the following sections.

5.1. Site Geology
The geologic units observed during our reconnaissance or encountered during our subsurface
evaluation included fill and landslide deposits (Figure 2). Materials of the Santiago Formation un-
derlie the site at depth (Figure 3). Generalized descriptions of the units encountered are provided in
the subsequent sections. Detailed descriptions are also provided on the test pit logs in Appendix A.
5.1.1. Fill
Fill is mapped overlying the landslide deposits at the site. The fill is derived from the under-
lying Santiago Formation and landslide deposits. As observed and reported in the as-graded
report for the adjacent property (Southern California Soil and Testing, Inc. [SCST], 1985),
the fill generally consisted of light brown to light gray, clayey sandy silt and clayey sand.
5.1.2. Landslide Deposits
Landslide deposits were encountered in our test pits from the ground surface to the depths
explored of up to approximately 8.5 feet. The landslide deposits are derived from the un-
derlying Santiago Formation. As encountered, the landslide deposits generally consisted of
light gray and light brown, soft to stiff, silty to sandy clay and clayey silt. Based on but-
tress depths reported in the as-graded report for the adjacent property (SCST, 1985), we
anticipate that the landslide deposits extend to a depth on the order of 20 feet.
5.1.3. Santiago Formation
Although not observed, materials of the Santiago Formation are mapped as underlying the
landslide debris in the site area. Based on our experience in the site area, the materials of the
Santiago Formation generally consist of a light brown to light grayish brown, moderately indu-
rated claystone and siltstone, and weakly cemented, clayey fine- to medium-grained sandstone.
5.2. Groundwater
Groundwater was not encountered in our test pits. Fluctuations in groundwater level may occur
due to seasonal variations, irrigation, groundwater withdrawal or injection, and other factors.

6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our review of the referenced background data, geologic field reconnaissance, subsur-
face evaluation and laboratory testing, it is our opinion that the features observed at the subject
site are the result of a landslide developing within the adjacent slope. During grading for the ad-
jacent mobile home park in the mid-1980's, landslide deposits underlying the subject slope were
left in place and a buttress constructed beneath Camino Hills Drive (Figure 2). Additional fill was
placed over the landslide deposits to create the graded pads above the slope. Based on a review of
the observation and testing report for the mobile home project (SCST, 1985), the buttress beneath
Camino Hills Drive extends to a depth of more than 23 feet. Although the geotechnical report for
the project is not available, the buttress depth would indicate a slide plane depth on the order of
18 to 20 feet. Based on the location where the current slide is toeing out (approximately 8 feet
from the curb), it is our opinion that the current slide is a new, shallower landslide which has de-
veloped within the older slide mass and fill buttress (Figure 3).
Due to site constraints and equipment limitations, insufficient data was acquired to define the
geometry of the subject landslide. We therefore recommend that additional subsurface evaluation
be performed to further define the subsurface conditions and geometry. We anticipate that the ad-
ditional subsurface evaluation would include the installation of two slope inclinometers within
the slide and inside the City of Carlsbad right-of-way. The slope inclinometers would provide
information on the rate of slide movement and the depth to the current slide plane. The incli-
nometers would be measured on a monthly basis, or when City survey indicates movement of the
landslide, until the depth of the slide plane can be defined. Once the depth and extent of the land-
slide is defined, repair recommendations would be prepared. A proposal for our additional
subsurface evaluation can be provided upon request.

expressed or implied, is made regarding the conclusions, recommendations, and opinions pre-
sented in this report. There is no evaluation detailed enough to reveal every subsurface condition.
Variations may exist and conditions not observed or described in this report may be encountered
during construction. Uncertainties relative to subsurface conditions can be reduced through addi-
tional subsurface exploration. Additional subsurface evaluation will be performed upon request.
Please also note that our evaluation was limited to assessment of the geotechnical aspects of the
project, and did not include evaluation of structural issues, environmental concerns, or the pres-
ence of hazardous materials.
This document is intended to be used only in its entirety. No portion of the document, by itself, is
designed to completely represent any aspect of the project described herein. Ninyo & Moore
should be contacted if the reader requires additional information or has questions regarding the
content, interpretations presented, or completeness of this document.
This report is intended for design purposes only. It does not provide sufficient data to prepare an
accurate bid by contractors. It is suggested that the bidders and their geotechnical consultant per-
form an independent evaluation of the subsurface conditions in the project areas. The independent
evaluations may include, but not be limited to, review of other geotechnical reports prepared for the
adjacent areas, site reconnaissance, and additional exploration and laboratory testing.
Our conclusions, recommendations, and opinions are based on an analysis of the observed site con-
ditions. If geotechnical conditions different from those described in this report are encountered, our
office should be notified, and additional recommendations, if warranted, will be provided upon re-
quest. It should be understood that the conditions of a site could change with time as a result of
natural processes or the activities of man at the subject site or nearby sites. In addition, changes to
the applicable laws, regulations, codes, and standards of practice may occur due to government ac-
tion or the broadening of knowledge. The findings of this report may, therefore, be invalidated over
time, in part or in whole, by changes over which Ninyo & Moore has no control.
