I. INTRODUCTION
1.01 General
Haley & Aldrich, Inc. (Haley & Aldrich) was retained by Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc.
(CDM) to conduct a geotechnical investigation at the proposed site of a new lift station along
Cannon Road in the City of Carlsbad, California (Figure 1).
1.02 Project Description
The City of Carlsbad plans to construct the lift station at the site of an existing detention basin
along the southeastern side of Cannon Road, approximately 0.3-mile southwest of the
intersection of Cannon Road and El Camino Real.
The proposed lift station will have dimensions of approximately 60 by 25 feet, resulting in an
approximate footprint area of 1,500 sq. ft. The lift station is to be constructed within the
limits of an existing detention basin, which is located at the base of a 2H: 1V slope. The
proposed wet well will have a depth of approximately 35 ft, and will be located along and
immediately adjacent to the existing toe of the hillside. The proposed construction will also
include an access road, valve vault, 20-inch diameter suction pipeline, 14-inch diameter
discharge pipeline, a wet well, site development, and miscellaneous small structures
associated with the lift station (Figure 2). The access road is to be located on engineered fill
placed in the detention basin and will terminate on Cannon Road both north and south of the
new lift station. 'A suspected landslide mass exists within the steep slope located above the
site.
Proposed grade at the location of proposed structures is approximately elevation 27. The
elevations for the various proposed structures on the site are tabulated below.

II. SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATIONS AND LABORATORY TESTING
2.01 Subsurface Explorations by Others
The lift station site is located within the Kelly Ranch development. Geotechnical
investigations performed by other firms, for Kelly Ranch in general and more specifically for
the detention basin, were reviewed by Haley & Aldrich. Some of the reports were reviewed
in their entirety, and some were only reviewed in excerpted format; pertinent excerpts from
these reports are included in Appendix A, including a geologic profile.
Pacific Soils Engineering, Inc. (PSE) performed geotechnical investigations of the project site
and reported their findings in a number of reports [PSE (April 1997), PSE (October 1997),
PSE (March 1998), PSE (January 2001)]. The work by PSE was performed in conjunction
with a substantial re-grading program executed at the site, which resulted in construction of
the detention basin at the base of the slope. The studies included geologic mapping, drilling
and sampling of exploratory borings, geologic analyses with respect to the possible landslide,
and laboratory testing.
In general, the 1997 reports identified an ancient landslide complex on the hillside above the
detention basin. The landslide was identified by topographic expression, geologic mapping
and trenching, sheared claystone identified in borings, and discovery of a landslide on an
adjacent property.
Specifically, PSE relied on two borings (B- 11and B-12) which were advanced on the project
site in 1985 by Owen Geotechnical Consultants; these borings are shown on Figure 2 and are
included in Appendix A. These explorations were advanced using bucket augers that created
-
a 30-inch hole. Bucket auger holes are described by a geologist who enters the borehole and
-
maps the sides of the holes. Boring B-i 1 noted shear zones, slickensided surfaces and
landslide debris; Boring B-12 noted a "zone of slide plane".
2.02 Subsurface Explorations by Haley & Aldrich
Haley & Aldrich conducted a subsurface exploration program consisting of three test borings
(HA-101, HAB-1, and HAB-2) as shown on Figure 2. The locations of the test borings
shown were determined in the field by Haley & Aldrich personnel by taping from physical
features, and should be considered approximate. The boring locations were based on a
proposed site layout provided by CDM; the site layout has since changed. Two borings
(HAB-1 and HAB-2) were located along Cannon Road and north of the proposed lift station.
A description of the drilling and sampling procedures utilized for each boring is presented
below. All test borings were observed in the field by trained Haley & Aldrich personnel
(engineer or geologist). Test boring reports are included in Appendix B of this report.
In November 2001, one test boring (HA-101) was drilled to a depth of 15.0-ft, to explore
subsurface conditions at the wet well location as formerly located. The test boring was
drilled by Pacific Drilling Company of San Diego, California. The test boring was
performed with a Little Beaver tripod-mounted drill rig using solid-stem-augering techniques.
G\PROJECTS\26713 Cannon Rd Lift Station\iinal report.doc
Soil samples were obtained at 5-ft intervals with a Standard Split-Spoon Sampler (2.0-inch
0 D , 1.375-inch I D), in general accordance with ASTM Method D1586 Field
measurement of in-situ soil properties consisted of the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) The
Standard Penetration Resistance (N) is defined as the number of blows necessary to drive the
Standard Split-Spoon Sampler 1-ft into undisturbed soil using a 140-pound weight falling
freely for 30-inches.
The tripod-mounted drill rig used during the subsurface exploration, was equipped for solid-
stem augering only. Performance of the Standard Penetration Test requires removal of solid-
stem augers from the borehole, which leaves the sides of the test boring in an unsupported
state. For this reason, the test boring collapsed below the groundwater table when the augers
were removed. All attempts to maintain the integrity of the bore hole failed and the test
boring was terminated at a depth of 15 ft.
In January 2002, two borings (HAB-1 and HAB-2) were, drilled at the locations shown on
Figure 2. The test borings were drilled by Tr-County Drilling of San Diego, California.
Soil-boring HAB-1 was advanced using a truck-mounted hollow-stem auger CME-95 drilling
rig and soil boring HAB-2 was advanced using a track mounted all terrain limited access rig.
Each soil boring was advanced to a total depth of approximately 40 ft below ground surface
(bgs) Prior to drilling, the soil bormgs were hand augered to five ft below ground surface
for utility clearances The first soil sample was collected at a depth of two ft, the next at a
depth' of five. ft, then at 5-ft intervals. Hollow stem continuous flight augers (4-1/4 inch .I.D.
were used to drill the borehole from approximately five ft bgs to the total depth of the
borehole. Using an automatic hydraulic hammer on the drill rig, samples were collected by
driving 2.5-inch diameter split spoon samplers 1.8-inch at the specified sampling interval.
Samples were retained in 6-inch long by 2.5-inch diameter stainless steel sleeves. Teflon®
sheets were placed at each end of the sleeve and capped with plastic end caps.
Haley & Aldrich personnel logged all soils recovered from the borings in thefield. Collected
sample intervals were observed and visual-manual estimates of the Unified Soil Classification
System (USCS) types of soils were made in general accordance with the visual-manual
procedures outlined in ASTM Standard D248893. In addition, grain size estimates were
performed in the field using standard sieve sizes and observation to estimate grain size
percentages on selected soil samples Estimated soil types and other observations were
recorded on boring logs along with the sample depth, sample type and percent recovered
Soil samples representative of the various subsurface soil types were selected and preserved
from each sample interval for testing in a laboratory to determine various geotechrncal-
engineering parameters;

Ill. SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
3.01 Physiography and Land Use
The proposed site is located as shown On Figure 2. An existing detention basin is located on
the southeastern side of future Cannon Road, which is currently (July 2002) an unimproved
roadway..The bottom of the detention basin is located at approximate elevation 15 Ground
surface elevations begin rising immediately east of the detention basin, to a high of
approximately 357 ft at the crest of the slope known as Mount Evans The slope of the
hillside above the detention basin is approximately 211 1V to 1.5H: 1V The top of the wet
well will be located on the hillside at approximate elevation 27. The lower third of the
hillside has been regraded, and is covered with erosion control mesh and surficial irrigation
lines to promote re-vegetation of the slope The upper portions of the slope are vegetated
with grasses, shrubs, and trees. The site vicinity is largely undeveloped, with the exception
of a new housing development located northeast of the site.
3.'02 Regional Geology
The regional geology consists of colluvium, alluvium, compacted and uncompacted fill and-also includes Eocene- to Pleistocene age sediments which comprise bedrock. The regional
geologic units are the Bay Point Formation which overlies the Santiago Formation. The Bay
Point Formation is absent at the project site The Santiago Formation consists of interbedded,
light to dark gray, silty sandstone j light, to medium gray siltstOne and variable colored
claystones. Where undisturbed, the Santiago Formation is. typically hard to very hard and is
moderately well bedded. .
3.03 Regional Seismicity
.
The Cannon Road Lift Station project is located within the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic
Province of southern California which is characterized by faults which typically display right
lateral slip and have a strong northwest orientation.
The project is located on the Santa Ana sub-block, a subdivision of the Peninsular Range
block, which is bounded on the northeast by the Elsinore fault and on the southwest by the
Rose Canyon/Newport-Inglewood fault system The nearest strand of the Elsinore fault, the
Julian and Temecula segments zone (characteristic moment magnitude, Mw -7.1 based on Peterson et al., 1996) are approximately 37 kilometers from the subject project The nearest
strand of the Rose Canyon/Newport-Inglewood fault zone (characteristic moment magnitude,
Mw=6 9) is the Del Mar segment, approximately 10 kilometers west of the project area
Both the Elsinore and the Rose CanyonlNewport-Inglewood fault systems are north and
northwest striking, dominantly right lateral, strike-slip faults, showing Holocene activity
Literature review, aerial photographic study, and site reconnaissance mapping mdicate that
active faults are not lOcated in the project area.
G:\PROJECTS'26713 CaruioS Rd Lift Statiön\fihal repori.dod
A regional map of active faults is shown in Figure 3. Based on probabilistic seismic hazard
assessment (PSHA) mapping performed by the USGS (1996) the peak horizontal ground
acceleration (PGA) expected for a free rock surface at the site with a probability of
exceedance of 10 percent in 50 years (consistent with 1997 UBC requirements) is 0.26g.
Deaggregation of the 10 percent-50 year event indicated that the Rose Canyon Fault
(Mw = 6 9) dominates the seismic hazard matrix The corresponding PGA at ground surface
for the site is 0.32g which accounts for site specific soil amplification of the bedrock
acceleration determined in accordance with the recommendations of National Earthquake
Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP 2001).
It is likely that during the design life of the project, the site will be subject to strong ground
accelerations generated from earthquakes produced along offsite faults. Secondary ground
displacements in response to a nearby or large regional earthquake are possible in the
seismically active southern California region.
3.04 Subsurface Conditions
Subsurface exploratiops at the site indicate that both soil and bedrock units are present on-site
and are expected to be encountered during construction Soil and rock descriptions provided
below are based upon the test boring reports presented in Appendix B. A geologic cross
section of the site that was prepared by others is included in Appendix A of this report.
All of the borings encountered interbedded fine to medium fine clayey and/or silty sands.
Two of the three borings encountered bedrock classified as siltstone and medium to coarse-
grained sandstone Groundwater was also encountered in two of the three borings.
Groundwater was encountered at 15 to 15.5 ft below ground surface (bgs).
A. Soil Units
Fill (SM, SC, SP)
Fill was encountered in two of the three borings at a minimum depth of 0 ft bgs and
extended to a maximum depth of 15 ft bgs in HA-1. and 15 5 bgs in HA-2 The fill
encountered was classified as silty clayi silty sand, and poorly-graded sand as
evidenced by drill cuttings This material was generally medium dense with standard
penetration test valUes ranging from 12 to 24 blows per foot (bpf) where sampled.
Alluvium (SC, SC/CL, SM)
Alluvium was encountered in HAB-2 at a minimum depth of 15.5 ft bgs and extended
to a maximum depth of 33 ft bgs The sandy soils were classified as clayey sand,
sandy clay, sand with silti and silty sand This material was generally medium dense
with standard penetration values ranging from 12 to 25' bpf:
G:\PROJECTS\26713 Cannon Rd Lift Stàtioñ\final rej,ort.d'oc
' 7
3. Colluvium (SM)
Colluvial material was encountered in HA-101 at a minimum depth of 0 ft bgs and
extended to a maximum depth of 15 ft bgs. The colluvium encountered was classified
as silty sand as evidenced by drill cuttings. This material was loose to medium
dense/stiff to very stiff with standard penetration test values ranging from 10 to 18
bpf where sampled:
B. Bedrock (Santiago Formation
Bedrock was encountered in two of three borings. The bedrock samples were
classified as sandstone, siltstone, and claystone of the Santiago Formation with
consistencies ranging fron-i very dense to hard with standard penetration test values
ranging from 36 bpf to 50 blows per 4 inches where sampled.
3.05 Groundwater Conditions
Grdündwater Was encountered in borings HAB-1 and HAB-2 at depths of 15 ft and 14.5 ft
below grade, respectively. In addition, wet conditions were encountered in boring HA-101 at
depth-of approximately 15 ft, resulting in collapse of the unsupported borehole. These
results indicate a groundwater table located at approximate elevation ,5 at the base of the slope
in the vicinity of the proposed lift station. The groundwater table is located at higher
elevations beneath the hillside, and generally represents a muted reflection of surface
topography.
3M6 Geologic Hazards
A. Potential Landslide
As described in Section 2.01, previous studies performed by others [American
Geotechnical (1983), Owen Geotechnical (1985), Pacific Soils Engineering (1997)]
had identified the southwest facing slope of Mount Evans as a potential landslide In
addition, a geologic map of the project vicinity (PSE, 1997) characterizes the surfiLial
geology of the hillside as consisting of landslide deposits The geomorphology of the
hillside is that of a classic landslide feature with a prominent headscarp visible near
the crest of the slope.
From reviewing the previous studies concerning the potential presence of a landslide
mass on the hillside immediately southeast of the detention basin, Haley & Aldrich
has concluded that 1) a landslide mass did exist within the slope, 2) the landslide
mass had the potential to move downslope and into the detention basin during or after
detention pond construction, 3) the risk of such movement was impossible to quantify
based on available information, and 4) the slope should be carefully monitored for
movement during and after excavations for the detention basin and mitigation of any
landslide movement be performed immediately, The detention basin excavations
were successfully excavated without resultant movement in the hillside
G:\PROJECTS\.26113 CannOn Rd Lift StatiOñ\final idport.doc 8
Therefore, a landslide mass is likely to be present in the hillside inliflediately
southeast, of the existing detention basin. The pOtential for landslide mOvement and
slope instability is considered real and represents a serious risk to the proposed lift
station site development without mitigation measures to stabilize the landslide
material.
Expansive Soil
Based on the geologic setting and subsurface conditions encountered in explorations at
the site, Haley & Aldrich has determmed that expansive soils are not a geologic
hazard for this project.
Liquefaction Evaluation
Liquefaction susceptibility was evaluated using the simplified procedure originally
developed by Seed and Idriss (1971) with procedural updates in accordance with
Youd, et al. (2001). Seismically-induced settlement, which may result from the
dissipation of excess pore pressure generated by earthquake shaking, was evaluated
using the procedures of Tokimatsu and Seed (1987). Calculations were performed for
profiles based on borings representative of conditions within the building area (HAB-
1 and HAB-2).
The results of the analyses indicate that liquefiable soils are not present in boring
HAB-1. Seismically induced settlements in the region of boring HAB-1 are expected
to be negligible. hi boring HAB-2 the analyses indicated a zone of liquefiable
material is present at a depth of approximately 14 to 32 feet below ground surface.
Settlements resulting from post-shaking dissipation of pore water pressure were
calculated to be on the order of 3 to 4 inches in the area of HAB-2.
For the purpose of foundation design, it should be assumed that the liquefiable zone
varies linearly from a thickness of 18 feet at the northeast side of the site to a
thickness of zero at the southwest side of the site The bottom of the liquefiable zone
is located at the bedrock interface which is at a depth of approximately 32 feet below
ground surface in HAB-1 and 15 feet below ground surface in HAB-2 Figure 4
illustrates the subsurface profile beneath the structure.
Post liquefaction settlement will result in the imposition of downdrag forces on deep
foundations (refer to Section 4.02 of this report for further recommendations
regarding seismic downdrag design) Site improvements which exist at or above
liquefiable zone and which are not supported by deep foundations will be prone to
settle differentially with respect to pile supported structures Flexible connections
which can tolerate 2.5 to 3 5 inches of differential settlement should be made in such
cases Hollow structures such as pipes which are located within the liquefiable zone
should be designed to resist buoyancy forces equal to the unit weight of the liquefied
soil (120 pcI).
G\PROJECTS\26713 Cannon Rd Lift &ation\final réport.doc L
The 1atera support of sOilS that surround deep foundations can be significantly
reduced if the soils undergo liquefaction This effect can be modeled in lateral
capacity analyses for piles and shafts by applying reducmg p-multipliers (a value of
1/10 is typical) to p-y curves (Ishihara and Cubrinovski, 1998) or utilizing a soft clay,
p-y curve with a cohesion value set to the liquefied residual shear strength of the soil
(Wang and Reese, 1998) The p-y curve adjustments ma de ade only over the limited
depth that would liquefy.

IV GEOTECHT'IICAL ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
4.01 Landslide Concerns
As discussed in previous sections of this report, Haley & Aldrich has concluded that the
hillside located above the proposed lift station includes an existing landslide mass The
presence of a landslide on this slope is a concern for this project due to potential instabilities
caused by temporary excavations planned for the proposed site development as described
below:
The current project concept includes no permanent cuts. However, temporary excavations
are always required for a project of this nature. Excavations to remove Fill and Alluvium
from within the detention basin and replacing them with imported fill is an alternative for
mitigating potential liquefaction. This temporary excavation would be at the base of the
existing landslide mass and therefore would redUce the existing equilibrium conditions in the
slope. Temporary excavations will be required for construction of the influent line and force
main. These excavations will also be at the base of the existing landslide mass and therefore
will reduce the existing equilibrium conditions in the slope. CDM is requiring the sunken
caisson method of construction for the wet well and valve vault, thereby reducing the concern
associated with more traditional temporary excavations.
At this stage of the design, there is not sufficient data available to rule out the potential-for
instability within this potential landslide mass caused by temporary excavations currently
planned for this project or more adverse natural conditions than have been experienced Since
detention basin construction. Several steps can be taken to mitigate this potential hazard.
However, prior to designing a mitigation scheme, a comprehensive geotechmcal investigation
specifically targeted to evaluate the nature, extent and configuration of the landslide would be
required Once the landslide geometry and strength properties of the basal landslide surface
are understood, landslide mitigation could be designed Landslide mitigation could consist
of construction of a shear key at the base of the slope using large diameter drilled shafts,
reducing groundwater levels in the hillside through subhorizontal drainage holes, and
controlling surface water flows and infiltration;
Haley & Aldrich believes that landslide investigation and mitigation design and construction
will be costly and that the risk of potential landslide movement will not be entirely removed
even if such measures are implemented Therefore, we recommend that the construction
contract documents preclude all permanent or Unbraced temporary excavations into the base
of the hillside.
4.02 FoUndation Reconhiendations
The Fill, Alluvium, and Colluvium soils vary in composition and density, are potentially
liquefiable and are not considered appropriate foundation materials for the lift station
Typically these materials are removed and replaced with structural fill to enable the use of
shallow foundations However, for this site, an excavation greater than 20 ft in depth would
be required at the toe of the landslide. This excavation could destabiliie the landslide.
P:\PROJEUS\26713 Cannon Rd Lift Station\tinal report doc 11
Alternatively, ground improvement methods, such as stone columns could be implemented to
enable the use of shallow foundations However, it has been Haley & Aldrich 's experience
that for small projects, deep foundations are more cost effective than ground improvement.
Haley & Aldrich recommends that the structures be founded on drilled shaft foundations.
Drilled shafts are typically 12 inches or larger in diameter and are installed by placing
concrete in the open hole after drilling Installation of drilled shafts below the water table
will require the use of a temporary casing and/or possibly drilling fluid such as bentomte
The shaft is reinforced with a steel reinforcing bar cage or with individual steel reinforcing
bars.
Drilled shafts should be installed through the unconsolidated soils present at the site and
socketed into bedrock. The minimum recommended drilled shaft diameter is18 inches.
Drilled shaft vertical capacity is a combination of end bearing and side friction. End bearing
capacity of drilled shafts is dependent on the strength of the rock mass and the depth below
the ground surface. Haley & Aldrich recommends 15,000 psf for the allowable bearing
capacity of the rock. The side shear of shafts socketed into rock can be included when the
depth of embedment into rock 'eqqilg Or exceeds the pile diameter. A side shear value of
1,500 psf should be used for that portion of the pile socketed into bedrock The shafts
should be designed to withstand a downdrag load of 700 psf applied over a 15 ft thick soil
column caused by potential liquefaction settlement.
Based on the site geology, depth to bedrock should be assumed to be 30 ft for the purpose of
foundation cost estimating. Overall pile lengths will be the depth to bedrock as determined
during pile installation plus the required bedrock socket depth as determined by the structural
engineer.
4.03 Floor Slabs
Haley & Aldrich recommends that all floor slabs be designed as structural slabs capable of
supporting all anticipated loads without the aid of soil interaction. The slab can be reinforced
using conventional reinforced concrete, post-tensioned concrete, timber and/or structural
steel.
4.04 UBC Seismic Building Design Parameters
If the 1997 UBC is utilized for structural design of the proposed buildings, the following
seismic assumptions should be made The Rose Canyon Fault (Seismic Source Type B) is
considered the critical fault segment with respect to 1997 UBC seismic design At a distance
of approximately 10 kilometers to the west of the site with Soil Profile Type Sc, this fault
generates the following values Na=1 0, Nv1 0, Ca0 40, Cv=0 56, T0=0 11 and,
T5=0 56 These are imrnmum values The structural designer may utilize more conservative
values at his or her discretion Figure 5 presents the computed 1997 UBC Design Response
Spectra.
G:\PROJEGrS\267i3 cannon Rd Lift Stacion\finâl report.doc 12
4.05 Temporary Excavations
Open cut methods for temporary excavations are not recommended because they could
destabilize the landslide Therefore, sloped excavations and trench boxes should not be
allowed The following recommendations for temporary excavations are intended to
minimize the risk of landslide movement durmg construction Alternatively, for the pipeline
excavations, microtunneling methods can be used to minimize excavation support.
The construction contract documents should require that all temporary excavations be tightly
braced and fully sheeted such that the surrounding ground is in intimate contact with the
shored excavation at all times durmg shoring installation, subsequent construction and shoring
removal. The contractor should be made responsible for designing temporary excavation
support as part of required construction submittals and should be required to include,
surcharge loads due to the slope in the design.
o
For the wet well and valve vault, the sunken caisson method of wet well construction is
feasible Haley & Aldrich believes that the site conditions are suitable for sunken caisson
construction While the presence of groundwater and bedrock complicate the construction,
caissons are commonly sunk in these conditions by qualified contractors The caissons are
typically installed without dewatering until after the bottom Slab is placed. It is not
uncommon for caissons to penetrate bedrock similar to the bedrock encountered at the site
However, if the surface of the bedrock is not horizontal which is likely at this site, it may be
necessary to pre-excavate the bedrock to create uniform conditions for caisson advancement.
Haley & Aldrich recommends that the sunken caisson be placed prior to construction, Of the
lift station structure to prevent potential damage to the building.
Temporary excavations should be kept as small as practicable in plan dimensions and only
one excavation should be allowed to be open at any one time Inclinometers and surface
monitoring points should be installed in the hillside above the excavations prior to
construction and monitored at least daily during construction The contractor should be
required to submit an instrumentation plan, monitoring plan and contingency plan for reacting
to any measured deformation beyond threshold levels. -
The Contractor should become familiar with and be aware of applicable local, state, and
federal safety regulations, including the current OSHA Excavation and Trench Safety
Standards Construction site safety is the sole responsibility of the Contractor, who shall also
be solely responsible for the means, methods, and sequencing of construction operations
Under no circumstances should the information provided in this section be interpreted to
mean that Haley & Aldrich is assuming responsibility for construction site safety or the
COntractor's activities; such responsibility is hot being implied and Should not be inferred.
The COntractor should be aware that slope height, Slope inclination, or excavation depths
should in no case exceed those specified in local, state, or federal safety regulations, e g
OSHA Health and Safety Standards for Excavations 29 CFR Part 1926, or successor
regulations Such regulations are strictly enforced and, if they are not followed the
Contractor and its subcontractors Could be liable for Substantial penalties.
G:\PROJECT9\26713 Cannon Rd Lift Station\finai report.doc 1
The soils to be penetrated by the proposed excavations may vary significantly across the site.
Haley & Aldrich'S preliminary soil classification is based solely on the mteriaIS encountered
in widely spaced exploratory borings.,The Contractor should continually classify the soils
that are encountered as excavation progresses with respect to the OSHA system.
4.06 Detention BaSin Fifi
The lift station is located in the area of an existing stormwater detention basin; Up to -'
toffillWil1 be required to achieve the floor elevation of the proposed lift station.
The fill material should consist Of "Structure Backfill" as specified in the
"Greenbook" (Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction), and compacted
according to Section 4.08 of this report, with maximum compaction loose lift
thickness of 6 inches.
Structure Backfill should be non-plstic, have a sand equivalent on not less than 20
and should have the following grading:
Detention Basin Fill
Sieve Size Percent Passing
4inch 100
No. 4 35-100
No. 30 20-100
4.07 Pipe Trench Considerations
A. Pipe Bethllng
Bedding should extend from 6 inches below the sewer pipeline to 12 inches above the
sewer pipeline. The pipe should be bedded in 3%-inch crushed rock which meets the
following gradation:
Pipe Bedding
Sieve Size Percent Passing
3/4 inch 100
No. 200 0.5
Maximum compaction loose lift thickness for the pipe. bedding should be 6 inches.
Pipe bedding should be wrapped in a geotextile that meets the requirements. of Type
180N as specified in the Greenbook.

Trench Backfill
Above the pipe bedding, on-site materials may be tised for trench backfill. However,
material greater than 3 inches measured in least dimension should not be placed
within 1 ft of the pipe and material greater than 6 inches measured in least dimension
should not be placed anywhere in the trench Backfill should be compacted as
outlined m Section 4,08 of this report Maximum compaction loose lift thickness for
the trench backfill should be. 8 inches..
Excavation Difficulties
Bedrock wag encountered in the borings within anticipated trench excavation depths.
Haley & Aldrich anticipates that bedrock excavation can be performed with
conventional methods without the need for extensive blasting, excavation may require
the use of large excavation equipment utilizing a ripper tooth Jack hammering, or
other approved rock excavation methods may be necessary in some localized
hardened bedrock areas.

4.09 Lateral Earth Pressures
Lateral pressures will be exerted on below grade walls by backfill soils, surcharge loads, and
hydrostatic pressures caused by groundwater. Lateral earth pressures on walls depend upon
the type of wall, type of backfill material and allowable wall movements. For walls that are
restrained at the top., lateral earth pressures should be estimated for an "at rest" condition.
"Active" conditions are applicable for walls which. are not fixed at the top and where
approximately 1 inch of movement at the top of the wall per 20 feet of wall height is
acceptable.
Structures can be backfihled with on-site soils or with free draining sand and/or gravel within
a zone defined by a 1:1 slope up and away from the bottom of the foundation. The following
equivalent fluid pressures can be used:

The recommended equivalent fluid pressure for foundation conditions below the water table
includes hydrostatic pressure The recommended fluid pressures assume a horizontal backfill
surface and do not include any surcharge due to nearby loading from structures, floor slab
live loads or traffic.

For designing the below-grade walls, a design groundwater elevation equivalent to the
maximum pooi elevation of the detention basin should be used
4.10 COnstruction Dewatering
At the time of our investigation, groundwater was encountered within anticipated excavation
depths at the site Groundwater fluctuates seasonally and thus may increase during the wetter
season The excavations required will encounter groundwater and may require dewatermg
Temporary excavations supported with tight bracmg and full sheeting should remain relatively
watertight and may be dewatered using internal sumps External dewatermg is anticipated to
be difficult due to the fines content of the soils, an effective dewatermg method may be using
tightly spaced well points with vacuum-enhanced pumping Other methods may be equally
effective or more effective, in any case, the selected method should be based on an evaluation
of required drawdown, subsurface conditions, and areal extent of required dewatermg, among
other factors Dewatermg systems should be installed well in advance of excavation
operations so that drawdown will be achieved prior to excavation.

PSE has identified a previously unrecognized (references) landslide that underlies .. .•
much of the southeastern portion of the site Although PSE is in general concurrence
With much of the findings and reommendations. resentedin,the referenced reports,
the identification of this large landslide deposit does raise issues relating to the overall

II. SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
Kelly Ranch, Area 'E' occurs south and east of the intersection of existing El
Camino Real and proposed Cannon Road (Figure 1). The southerly project
boundary is formed by the base of relatively steep, northerly facing, bedrock
slopes. Carlsbad tract 91-3 (Evans Point) and the terminus of existing Frost
Street occur on the eastern project boundary: Proposd Cannon Road forms the
northwest project boundary, and it occurs adjacent to the open space along the
southern edge of Agua Hedionda Creek. The northeast portion of the projet5 is
directly bordered by open space area of Agua Heionda Creek and existing El
1
Camino Real.
The terrain over the developable portions of the, site has been almost complelt&y
modified by prior grading operations. Terrain slope angles range from flat to
relatively steep (approximately 1: 1, horizontal vertical). Most of the site is cov-
ered by sparse growth of annual grasses and a few shrubs, The steep, unde-'
velopable, horth4acing slopes along the southern boundary are covered with a
thick growth of native chaparral.

Drainage over the site is by sheet flow directed to the north and west. Access
Over the site can be gained by proposed Canyon Road southward on unini.
prOved dirt trails.
A horse farm with associated structures exists in, the east central part of the site.
III PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
it is anticipated that cut/fill grading techniques will be Utilized to develop Kelly
Ranch, Area 'E, into 144 single family residential buildirig pads, interior streets
and, graded open space. As part of project development Cannon Road from El
Camino Real to. the western project boundary will be completed,
Cut and fill slopes are proposed at ratiosof 2 :. 1 (horizontal : vertical).
IV SITE RESUME
Gèotechnical studies on Kelly Ranch, Area 'E' began With American Geotechni-
cal (198). Supplemental investigations Were conducted by Owen Geotechnical
(19858 and b) and Geopacifica (198.5) These reports were submitted, to the City
L. of Carlsbad and they dealt With typical hillside grading issues, and included: 1)
laboratory data;, 2) settlement analysis.; and 3) slope Stability analyses.
Landslide deposit$ in Area, 'E" were not identified in these repOrts.

Site grading occurred in August through November of 1985 under the testing and
observation of Geopacifica (1900), This phase of grading involved the plaOe-
ment of embankment for Cannon Road and the area adjacent to, and south of
Cannon Road, realignment of a portion of AgUa Hedionda Creek near El Camino
Real and various storm drain and desilting basin improvements. Much of the
embankment for Cannon Road was borrowed from the southeast, portion of
Area 'E'.
Post-gradIng geote.chnióal studies for Area 'E' were completed by PSE in March.
and September of 1990 (references). These studies compiled previous geotech-
nical work and performed limited subsurface investigations for the overall Kelly
Ranch (aka Villages of Cote 0' Azur. project. Landsliding on Area 'E' was not
identified.
A pertinent Offsitë geotechnical investigation of the adjacent Evans Point project
was conducted by Geotechnics, Inc.. (1993). Evans Point was'graded in 1995
under the testing and ObServation of Geocon, Inc. (1996). During grading opera-
tions immediately adjacent to Kelly Ranch, Area F a backcut failure extended
onto Area 'E'.. These areas were repaired by replacement with compacted fill

in plan Study which incorporates all data from previous studies and suppemen-
tal information, recently collected by PSE.

Landslide Deposit (Map Symbol QIs)
A previously unrecognized; relatively large, ancient, landslide complex
has been found in the southeastern portion of the project. The presence
of this landslide was detected in a series of deep large diameter borings
excavated for the purposes of this 40-scale study. The borings were
down-hole logged where conditions allowed. Where severe caving pre-.
vented down-hole logging, cuttings were used to describe the materials
penetrated by the boring
The pretence of the large landslide complex is based upon: 1) a marked.
break-inslope that creates an accurate landform along the southeastern ,
subdivision boundary, 2) a consistently present sheared, striated clay-
stone at the base of tdistufbed appearing Bay Point and Santiago Forma-
tions, interpreted to be the basal rupture surface; 3) geologic mapping
and backhoe trench logging of the existing cut slope; and 4) the identifi-
cation of landsliding on the adjacent Evans Point project
Mapping by Weber (1982) suggests that the sharp topographic break
.along the southern, project boundary is attributable, to the formation of an-
cient sea cliff. Weber (1982) did not map landslides in Area For Evans
Point.. While this, is Valid for explaining the height of the steep topography
(approximately 170 feet), it does not eliminate the possibility of landsliding
enhancing the topographic break

ancient nature of the slide and the availability of soft material (i.e., Bay
Point Formation) for erosion and deposition. AlsO, much of the landslide
headscarp area is observed to be deeply c011uviated.
The landSlide materials consist of Bay Point and Santiago Formation.
Generally, the landslide materials were observed to be oxidized, fractured
and sheared blocks of sandstone, siltstone and claystone. Water seep-
age was common above the basal slide plane. A very marked change in
hardness and drive energy occurs between the landslide, composed of
Santiago Formation and the in-place Santiago Formation below the basal
rupture surface. Below the basal rupture surface the Santiago Formation
was observed to be consistently very hard, Well cemented, unfractured
and gently dipping to the south.
The landslide deposit occurring in Area 'E' is probably a composite land-
slide consisting of at least two separate Slide masses, designated herein
as "east slide" and "west, slide". The distinctions, while not specifically
mapped on Plates 1 and 2,. are based upon: 1) topographic differences;
2) dip direction of basal surfaces and striation directions.; and 3) the.
construction, of cross-sections (Plates 5 and 6) by the correlation of boring
longs.
The "eastern slide" mass is located below the area of lots 82, 83, 89,
throug,h 92 and 100 through 107, and it exte.nd.s onto the Evans Point pro-
ject2 The geologic, dtä suggests that the eastern landslide, moved toward
the northeast In contrast the "western slide" mass is located immediately

through 88 and 94 through 98. The geologic data suggests that the west-
ern landslide moved toward the northwest. Both slide masses probably
extend below the alluvium and artificial fill as shown on the cross-sections
(Plates 5 and 6).
Colluviurn (Map Symbol Ocol)
Locally derived, light. to dark brown silty sands with common pebbles and
cobbles form colluvium deposits in the minor, north-flowing drainages
emanating from the steep bedrock terrain south of the project. The mate-
rial is typically slightly moist, and loose to moderately dense. Thickness
probably exceeds twenty (20) feet.
Alluvium (map Symbol Qal)
Alluvium, associated with the Aqua Hedionda drainage underlies the north
and northwestern portion of the site, It Was ob5erved to be dark gray and
composed of silty sands, sandy to clayey silts and sandy to silty clays.
These soils are typically very moist to wet; in a loose to medium dense,
soft to firm state;

curs in the western portion of Area F. As observed, in boring B-i, it con-
sists of a multicolored clayey sand which is moist and moderately dense.
Artificial Fill (Map Symbol afu)
U.ncompacted artificial fill occurs most notably in the central portion Of the
project. Its Imits are approximated on Plates 1 and 2 Some test pit ex-
cavatioris exposed buried "brush" at the alluvium contact. The uncom-
pated fill consisted of silty sand, and thicknesses range from three (3) to
twelve and one-half (12.5) feet.

The current, groundwater surface, as observed in test pits T-1 1 through T-1 8 (Ta
ble I) occurs at elevations r ngitifrom 16 to 26 in alluvial sails along Cannon
Road. The groundwater turface, was Observed in Bay Point, Formation in boring

QMME
'Provide, a letter from soils engineer stating that the grading foi this [desilting] basin, will
be stable after cut s/ope grading'.
RESPONSE
A suspected landslide deposit occurs adjacent to the proposed desilting basin along the
south side of Cannon Road (sheet 3). This landslide has been identified by American
Geotechnical (1983) and Owen Geotechnical Consultants, Inc. (1985). Their subsur-
face excavations do not appear to conclusively identify a landslide deposit or a basal
rupture surface. A bucket auger boring recently excavated by PSE also proved to be
inconclusive. The existence of this landslide is largely based On geomorphic expres-
sion.
Owing to the uncertainty of this landslide, PSE recommends that the slope be cut to de-
sign grade and then be finally evaluated for stability.
If PSE assumes the existence of the landslide and a geometry depicted On cross-
section G-G' (Figure. 1) then a buttress or stabilization fill backcut behind the cut slope
would likely result in a failure Of the entire landslide area. The failure Would extend well
beyond the limits of a proposed backcut. This would result in disturbance and neces-
sary grading in the open space above top of slope. Considering the above if S

instability is detected during design cutting, it is recommended that the landslide area
be removed and a stabilization fill be constructed whose width is one half the slope
height.

Gentlemen: . .
Presented herein is Pacific Soils E69inèering1 Inc.'s (PSE) geotechnical summary for
the grading associated with the desitting basin adjacent to Cannon Road, approximate
station 94+30 to 99+60, Kelly Ranch, Village E, Canterbury project, located in the City
of Carlsbad, California. This report represents a summary of the as-graded geologic
and gectechnical conditions associated with the basin and adjacent cut slope.
Project grading occurred in 1999 and consisted of the excavation of the desilting basin
and adjacent cut slopes. Very minor amounts of compacted fill were placed along the
southern edge of Cannon 'Road during project grading. The materials encountered dur-
ing the excavation were observed to consist of colluvium and weathered bedrock.. Evi-
dence for landsliding, which is discussed in PSE (1998), was observed to be not pre-
sent Accordingly, based upon our recent observations and our observations. during
grading the slopes associated with the desilting basin are considered to be grossly and
surficially stable.

It is our understanding that the City of Carlsbad proposes to inlifi the basin and create a
pad for a sewer pump station, It is PSE opinion that this is likely to be feasible without
significant remedial grading. Gectechnicat raviow of the proposed design of the sewer
pump station pad should be undertaken prior to grading, particularly if additional cuts
are proposed for the adjacent slopes.

C GENERAL NOTES
Logs of subsurface explorations depict sail, rock-and groundwater conditions only at the locations specified on the dates indicated. Subsurface conditions may vary at other locations and at
other times.
The stratification lines designating the interface between soil types on the logs of borings and on the subsurface profile represent approximate boundaries. The transition between material
may be gradual. - ' '
Water levels noted an the logs were measured at the, times and under the conditions indicated. During test borings,
'
these' water levels could have been affected by 'the introduction, of water TEST B OR I N C KEY
into the borehole, extraction of tools 'ó other procedures and thus m'a'not reflect actual groundwater level at the. test boring location: Groundwater' level fluctuations may also occur as aresult 'U of variations in precipitation, temperature, season, adjacent construction activities and pumping of water supply wells, and construction dewatering systems. .UNDECROUND p ' ' D4aNEBUW&
