In preparation of this report we have utilized the 100-scale map entitled "Faraday Avenue Preliminary Alignment Study Alternate 8 Split", prepared by O'Day Consultants, dated April 15, 1998 as a base map during this study. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the geotechnical conditions along and adjacent to the proposed alignment of the Faraday Avenue extension, alternate 8 split, and to provide conclusions and recommendations relative to site development based on the collected data and preliminary alignment plans. The scope of our services during the evaluation included the following: - Review of geotechnical literature and aerial photographs pertaining to the general vicinity of the site, and geotechnical reports pertaining specifically to the site. A list of the items reviewed is included in Appendix A. Field reconnaissance of the site and general vicinity. Subsurface investigation of the site conditions, including the drilling, logging and sampling of 5 small diameter borings, 8 large-diameter borings, and 9 backhoe trenches. All borings and trenches were logged by our geologists and backfilled upon completion. The logs of these excavations are presented as Appendix B. The logs of pertinent previously excavated borings and trenches excavated during our subsurface investigation for the adjacent proposed golf course project and proposed Cannon Road extension are also included in Appendix B and were utilized in preparation of this report. Laboratory testing of representative soil samples to evaluate the pertinent engineering properties of the onsite soils (Appendix C). Geotechnical analysis of the data obtained, including slope stability analysis, liquefaction potential, and re-evaluation of previously obtained data. Preparation of this report presenting our findings, conclusions and recommendations with respect to the proposed roadway and associated slopes. Our report includes the results of the previous subsurface exploration studies and laboratory data applicable to the Faraday Avenue Extension project. -1- LEI6HTON MM ASSOCU TES, OK. 81TY OFCEANSIDE PACIFICOCEAN CITY OF SAN MARCOS CITY OF ENCINITAS SITE LOCATION MAP Faraday Avenue Extension Carlsbad, California PROJECT No. 4980118-001 SCALE Not to scale ENGR./GEOL. DRAFTED BY DATE JGF/MRS KAB July 1. 1998 LnJ FIGURE No. 1 4980118-001 1.2 Geologic Conditions The majority of the proposed alignment is presently developed as agricultural fields and has been partially graded and disturbed in order to facilitate the agricultural activity onsite. Topographically, the site is characterized by numerous ridges and intervening ravines and valleys that intersect a main northwest trending drainage that flows into Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Elevations along the proposed alignment range from approximately 20 feet mean sea level (m.s.l.) at the extreme northwest corner of the site in the main drainage, to approximately 265 feet mean sea level (m.s.l.) near the ridgeline along the eastern edge of the alignment. Natural slopes on the site range from relatively steep (steeper than 1:1, horizontal to vertical) to relatively gentle (less than 3:1, horizontal to vertical). Existing improvements are generally related to past and present agricultural activities on the site. Improvements associated with the agricultural fields include underground irrigation lines and valves and minor cuts and fills associated with access roads. Other onsite improvements include: access roads associated with several utility easements and a pair of small earthen dams constructed to impound water for irrigation purposes. These earthen dams are located in the central portion of the site outside of and upslope of the proposed road alignment. Evaluation of these dams was beyond the scope of our study but should be considered by the project civil engineer for possible hydrologic considerations. A relatively large desilting basin and rip rap area exists at the terminus of the existing segment of Faraday Road, which may be impacted during remedial grading necessary for the proposed alignment. Non-agricultural vegetation on-site ranges from a relatively thick growth of grasses and weeds on the undisturbed hillsides to shrubs and thick weeds in the ravines. Riparian trees and shrubs grow quite heavily in the main drainage trending north west-southeast across the site. The majority of the proposed alignment transects hillside agricultural fields. 1.3 Proposed Development Based on our review of the 100-scale Preliminary Alignment Study Alternate 8 Split plans prepared by O'Day Consultants dated April 15, 1998, it is our understanding that the proposed development will extend the existing segment of Faraday road to the northwest to intersect with the proposed Cannon Road Extension. The extension of Faraday road will include the construction of numerous cut and fill slopes. Previous investigations on site included the excavation of several exploratory backhoe trenches. These excavations were made in conjunction with a previous investigation for the proposed Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course. All pertinent trench logs are included within Appendix B. The approximate locations of the trenches are shown on the Geotechnical Map (Plate 1). Also included are the laboratory test results of representative soil samples collected during the current site investigation as well as other pertinent previous Leighton and Associates subsurface investigations on site (Appendix A). Laboratory test results relative to the Faraday Avenue project are included in Appendix C. The laboratory testing included direct shear, expansion index, moisture/density determinations, maximum dry density, minimum resistivity, pH, soluble sulfate, Atterberg Limits, R-value, and consolidation tests. Brief descriptions of the laboratory test procedures and the laboratory test results are presented in Appendix C. The test results of the moisture/density determinationsare presented in the boring logs included in Appendix B. -3- LEIGHTOHAHD ASSOCIATES, me. 4980118-001 1.4 Current Site Investigation The current site investigation included the drilling, logging and sampling of 5 small diameter exploratory borings, 8 large diameter borings, and 9 exploratory trenches. The small diameter borings and trenches were excavated predominantly in areas of proposed fill soils in order to assess the depth of remedial grading that may be required and to evaluate the engineering properties of the onsite soils. The large diameter borings were predominantly drilled in areas where cut slopes are proposed and in areas where topographic features suggestive of slope instability were observed. The maximum depth of excavation during the most recent investigation was 61 feet below ground surface in boring LB-1. All borings and trenches were logged and sampled by our geologists and backfilled upon completion. The small diameter borings drilled in conjunction with this study have been designated B-l through B-5, the large diameter borings have been designated LB-1 through LB-8, and the trenches have been labeled as T-1 through T-9, Logs of these borings and trenches, as well as those from previous studies are included as Appendix B. The locations of all exploratory excavations are indicated on the Geotechnical Map (Plate 1), located in the map pocket at the rear of the text. 1.5 Environmental Soil Sampling The purpose of collecting soil samples at approximately every 500 feet along the right-of-way is to obtain a significant number of samples to characterize possible soil contamination in the near surface soils. All samples collected are shown in Table 1. The approximate locations of the soil samples are shown on Table 1. On May 6, 1998 thirty-three (33) samples were collected at eleven locations at depths of 6 inches, 12 inches, and 36 inches below grade. Samples were collected with a hand auger. To avoid possible cross contamination between individual samples, the hand auger was washed with a solution of trisodium phosphate (TSP) and water, double rinsed with distilled water and dried with paper towels. The soil samples were placed into laboratory supplied 4-ounce glass sample jars and immediately placed into an ice- cooled container. A Chain-of-Custody form was completed at the time of collection. At the completion of sampling, the samples were transported to Pacific Treatment Analytical Services, Inc. (PTAS) of San Diego, California, for analysis. PTAS is a California Certified Laboratory (Certification No. 1931). The 6-inch samples were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides by EPA Test Method 8080, total phosphate by SMEWW 4500 PE, Total Kjeldhal Nitrogen (TKN) by EPA Test Method 351.3 and pH by EPA Method 9045C. The other samples were placed on hold, in the event elevated levels of organochlorine pesticides were present in the 6-inch sample. The results of the soil sample chemical analysis are provided in Appendix C and summarized in Table 1. The laboratory analyses indicated that organochlorine pesticides are not present in any sample analyzed. The pH of all samples analyzed ranged from 6.3 to 8.1, which is normal for the type of soils at the subject site. Total phosphate levels of all samples analyzed ranged from 125 mg/Kg to 723 mg/Kg. TKN was detected in samples ES-6, 6 inches (1,353 mg/Kg), ES-8, 6 inches (1,119 mg/Kg), ES-9, 6 inches (74,190 mg/Kg), and ES-10, 6 inches (280 mg/Kg). LEIBHTOHAHD ASSOCIATES, OK. 4980118-001 Review of a United States Environmental Protection Agency document Preliminary Remediation Goals (PRG's) (Appendix A) indicated none of the samples taken from the upper 6 inches exceeded the allowable level for any organochlorine pesticides in the soil at a residential site. The USEPA PRG's do not address total phosphate or TKN. On June 9, 1998, we contacted Mr. David Felix of the Site Assessment & Mitigation (SAM) Division of San Diego County's Environmental Health Department who stated that there are no action or remediation levels for total phosphate or TKN in soil. It is recommended that no further environmental assessment and remedial action be performed at this time. We further recommend that observations be made during any future site development of areas of possible contamination such as, but not limited to, the presence of underground facilities, buried debris, staining soils, waste drums, tanks, or odorous soils. Should such materials be encountered, further investigation and analysis may be necessary at that time. Soil samples were collected along the roadway alignment at approximately 500 foot intervals. The approximate location of the samples and a summary of the test results are provided below. TABLE 1 Summary of Soil Sample Analysis Sample I.D.

The topography at the edge of the batholith changes from rugged landforms developed on the batholith to the more subdued landforms that typify the softer sedimentary formations of the coastal plain. 2.2 Site Geology As encountered during our investigation(s), and our review of geotechnical reports applicable to the subject site (Appendix A), the majority of the proposed alignment is underlain by the Tertiary Santiago Formation. The Jurassic-aged Santiago Peak Volcanics is the bedrock unit in the extreme southeast section of the alignment. Surficial units on-site consist of alluvium, colluvium, topsoil, and undocumented fill soils. The approximate areal distributions of the units are shown on the Geotechnical Map (Plate 1) and briefly discussed below. 2.2.1 Jurassic Santiago Peak Volcanics (Map Symbol - Jsp) The Jurassic aged Santiago Peak Volcanics crop out in the southeast portion of the subject site. Typically the unit is hard and extremely resistant to erosion and forms topographic highs. Most of the rocks are dark greenish gray where fresh but weather grayish red to dark reddish brown. The soil developed on the Santiago Peak Volcanics is the color of the weathered bedrock and supports the growth of dense chaparral. If deep removals are planned in this area, localized heavy ripping or blasting may be required. 2.2.2 Santiago Formation (Map Symbol - Ts) The bedrock unit underlying the majority of the site is the Tertiary-aged Santiago Formation. In general, the unit consists of massive to weakly bedded sandstone with interbedded clayey siltstone and silty claystone. The sandstone encountered consisted primarily of light gray, light brown, and light yellow-brown, moist, dense, silty, fine- to occasionally medium-grained sandstone. The sandstone was locally very slightly micaceous and weakly bedded to massive. Locally, bedding is out of slope with seepage noted on several bedding planes. Well cemented sandstone beds were occasionally encountered during this and previous investigationson adjacent sites and may require heavy ripping during grading. The siltstone typically consisted of brown and olive-green gray, moist, stiff, clayey siltstonesthat were fissile to indistinctly bedded and contained calcium carbonate, manganese-oxide and iron-oxide staining. The claystone typically was gray to brown, moist, stiff to hard, fine-grained, sandy to silty claystone that was moderately sheared. Where encountered, the upper 18 to 24 inches of the Santiago Formation appears to be moderately weathered, porous and potentially compressible. This layer should be removed and recompacted in areas of structural fill placement or settlement sensitive improvements. -6- LEIGHTON AND ASSOCIATES, INC. 4980118-001 2.2.3 Alluvium (Map Symbol - Qal) Alluvium was encountered during our investigation of the proposed alignment in the majority of the drainages and the low lying areas adjacent to and along the proposed alignment. As encountered, the alluvium generally consisted of potentially compressible, moist to wet, loose to medium dense silty sands, sandy silts, and sandy clays. Within the main northwest-trending drainage (south of the proposed roadway), the alluvium is relatively thick as evidenced by approximately 20-50 feet of alluvium encountered in borings excavated for the adjacent golf course geotechnical investigation. In areas of alluvium which are expected to lie below the roadway, alluvium was encountered up to 35+ feet thick (Boring B-5) in the northern end of the alignment, and 33 feet in the central canyon area (Boring B-3). In many of the smaller side canyons, particularly in the southern end of the alignment, alluvium was encountered and mapped. However, these areas were not accessible with the drilling equipment utilized in this investigation. Backhoe trenches were excavated in these areas to evaluate alluvial depths. Alluvium was encountered to depths in excess of 19 feet (Trench T-7,T-8, and T-9). Unsaturated alluvial soils are considered potentially compressible and not suitable for the support of structural loads or additional fill soils in areas of settlement sensitive improvements. These soils should be removed and recompacted in areas proposed for structural improvements as part of site grading. Saturated alluvial soils are anticipated to settle somewhat upon application of embankment loading. 2.2.4 Colluvium/ Slope Wash (Map Symbol - Qcol) Holocene aged colluvium / slope wash was encountered mantling the lower valley slopes. As encountered, the colluvium / slope wash typically consisted of poorly consolidated surficial materials derived from nearby soil and decomposed bedrock sources. This reworked debris is deposited along the flanks of the lower valley slopes by the action of gravity and surface water. Generally, the material was light brown to dark brown, damp to moist, medium dense, silty to clayey sand that was generally 2 to 20+ feet in thickness, although locally it may be deeper. The colluvium/slope wash was typically porous and anticipated to be potentially compressible under the load of proposed fills or improvements. In places, it is difficult to distinguish the sandier colluvial soils from the underlying weathered Santiago Formation. -7- LEIGHWN AND ASSOCIATES, IHC. 4980118-001 2.2.5 Topsoil (Unmapped) Topsoil was encountered essentially covering the entire site, but was not mapped. The topsoil was found to be generally light brown to dark brown, damp, loose to medium dense, silty sands with moderate amounts of clay. The topsoil was generally ± 3 feet in thickness and contains moderate amounts of decomposed organics. Where disturbed by the previous agricultural activities, the topsoil may locally be up to 5 feet thick. This unit was evaluated to be compressible under the loading of fill soils or other improvements. 2.2.6 Undocumented Fill (Map Symbol - Afu) Undocumented fill soil is present on the site in various locations. The major undocumented fill areas consisted of earthen embankments for agricultural ponds, unimproved roads, end-dumped debris piles, and utility trench backfill. Our site reconnaissance indicated that potentially compressible alluvium was left in place beneath these fill areas. In addition, our literature review did not indicate that any documentation or testing was completed for these areas. Undocumented fill soils were also noted in several other locations within the subject site. As encountered, the undocumented fill consisted of numerous soil types, but typically the fill soils were light brown to medium brown and gray, moist to very moist, loose, silty sands and clayey sands. These soils should be removed to expose competent material in areas of proposed fill soils or improvements. 2.3 Geologic Structure The bedrock units encountered on the site were generally massive with no apparent bedding. However, based on our professional experience in the area, bedding of the underlying Santiago Formation is anticipated to be relatively gently dipping (i.e. 5 to 10 degrees) to the west. 2.4 Ground Water Ground water was encountered in several of our borings within several of the onsite drainages in the lower elevations of the site particularly in the main northwest trending drainage located south and west of the proposed alignment. The presence of ground water in these areas will limit the removal of alluvium and undocumented fill in these areas. Perched groundwater conditions were also encountered in several of our large diameter borings on- site (LB-2, LB-3, and LB-4). The zones of ground water were encountered even though no irrigated source is immediately upgradient of these areas. Accordingly, zones of seepage are anticipated to be exposed during construction of cut slopes and will require the use of stability fills with subdrains. Ground water is not anticipated to be a constraint to site development provided the recommendations provided in this report and during the course of grading are implemented. LEIGHTONAHD ASSOCIATES, IHC. 4980118-001 2.5 Mass Movement Based on our review of the previous geotechnical reports, available geologic literature and maps, and aerial photographs, several features indicative of mass movements (such as landslides, surficial slumps, etc.) were observed within the areas proposed for development. In the central and north- central portion of the proposed alignment an area has been mapped as a landslide complex based on topographic expression and data gathered during our subsurface investigation. Geologic mapping of excavations in this area should be performed during site grading. Localized zones of weak claystoneteiltstone material and friable sands are present in the Santiago Formation and may create localized areas that are prone to slope instability if exposed in a cut slope. Accordingly, all cut slopes greater than 10 feet in height should be stabilized by construction of stability fill with subdrains. In addition, all cut slopes and stability fill backcuts should be mapped by an engineering geologist during site grading. Additional recommendations for slope stabilization can be provided as needed during site grading. 2.6 Faulting and Seismtcitv Our discussion of the faults on-site is prefaced with a discussion of California legislation and state policies concerning the classification and land-use criteria associated with faults. By definition of the California Mining and Geology Board, an active fault is a fault which has had surface displacement within Holocene time (about the last 11,000 years). The State Geologist has defined a potentially active fault as any fault considered to have been active during Quaternary time (last 1,600,000 years) but that has not been proven to be active or inactive. This definition is used in delineating Fault Rupture Hazard Zones as mandated by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act of 1972 and most recently revised in 1994. The intent of this act is to assure that unwise urban development does not occur across the traces of active faults. Base on our review of the Fault-Rupture Hazard Zones, the subject site is not located within any Fault-Rupture Hazard Zone as created by the Alquist-Priolo Act (Hart, 1994). However, several inactive fault zones have been mapped in a number of places within and adjacent to the subject site. These inactive fault zones are not considered to be a constraint to site development. The location of the proposed development can be considered to lie within a seismically active region, as can all of southern California. The subject site lies within Seismic Zone 4 as outlined in Section 1629 of the 1997 edition of the UBC. The Rose Canyon Fault Zone which is located approximately 4.5 miles to the west of the site is considered to have the most significant seismic effect at the site from a design standpoint. A maximum probable earthquake of moment magnitude 5.9 on the fault could produce a peak horizontal ground acceleration of approximately 0.30g at the site. The slip rate of the fault is estimated at 1.5 mm/yr. (State of California, 1996) and the soil profile type is Sc (per Table 16-J of the 1997 UBC). -9- L£IGHTOHANDA$$OCIAT£$, UK. 4980118-001 2.7 Seismic Considerations The principal seismic considerations for most structures in southern California are surface rupturing of fault traces, damage caused by ground shaking and/or seismically induced liquefaction or dynamic settlement. The probability of damage due to ground rupture is considered minimal since active faults are not known to cross the site. Ground lurching due to shaking from distant seismic events is not considered a significant hazard, although it is a possibility throughout the southern California region. 2.7.1 Ground Shaking The seismic hazard most likely to impact the site is ground shaking resulting from an earthquake on one of the major regional faults. As discussed above, a maximum probable event on the Rose Canyon Fault Zone (considered the design earthquake for this site) could produce a peak horizontal acceleration at the site of 0.3 Og. 2.7.2 Liauefaction/DvnamicSettlement Liquefaction of cohesionless soils can be caused by strong vibratory motion due to earthquakes. Research and historical data indicate that loose granular soils underlain by a near-surface ground water table are most susceptible to liquefaction, while the stability of most siity clays and clays is not adversely affected by vibratory motion. The Santiago Formation is generally not considered liquefiable due to its high density characteristics. From our preliminary field study, it appears that the area most likely susceptible to liquefaction is the main drainage area located south and west of the roadway. The smaller drainages below the proposed roadway is composed of silty to clayey alluvium overlain by a significant thick of non-saturatedfill soils. Accordingly, it is our professional opinion that the proposed roadway alignment has a low potential for liquefaction due to the design earthquake. -10- LEIGHTON AND ASSOCIATES, UK. 4980118-001 3.0 CONCLUSIONS Based on our review of the 100-scaIe Preliminary Alignment Study, Alternate 8 Split plans prepared by O'Day Consultants, and the results of our geotechnical investigations and review of pertinent data, it is our opinion that the proposed development of the Faraday Avenue is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint provided the following conclusions and recommendations are incorporated into the design and construction of the project. The following is a summary of the geotechnical factors which may affect developmentof the site. • Based on subsurface investigations, the site is underlain by alluvium, colluvium/slope wash, undocumented fill soils, landslide debris, the Santiago Formation, and the Jurassic Santiago Peak Volcanics. • The topsoil, colluvium, alluvium, weathered formational material and undocumented fill soils are porous and/or potentially compressible in their present state and will require removal and recompaction in areas of proposed structural improvements. We anticipate alluvial removals cannot be accomplished within 2 feet above the water table. Where complete removals are not made, settlement should be anticipated as well as a construction (delay in areas of the deeper drainages where removal of saturated alluvial soils could not be performed). The need for settlement monitoring is likely in these areas and final recommendations should be provided based on review of final grading plans. • Ancient landslides are present on site and will require construction of earthen buttresses/stability fills where exposed in cut slopes. • Based on our subsurface investigations of the formational soils and surficial soils present on the site, we anticipate that these materials will be rippable with heavy-duty construction equipment. However, localized concretions and cemented layers within the Tertiary Santiago Formation (if encountered), may require heavy ripping during excavation. In addition, the Jurassic Santiago Peak Volcanics that crop out in the southeastern portion of the site are extremely hard and may require localized heavy ripping and/or blasting for removal should design plans change in this area. Significant amounts of oversized material should be anticipated if such measures are required. • Undocumented fill soils are present on the site at various locations. Removal of these materials will be required in areas proposed for structural improvements • Laboratory test results of representativesoil samples from our investigationsonsite the and our previous experience on adjacent sites indicate the soils present on the site have the following soil engineering characteristics: very low to high expansion potential negligible to considerable sulfate content adequate shear strength in both existing formational soils or as properly compacted fill soils mild to high potential for corrosion to buried metal conduits LEIBHTOHAHD ASSOCIATES, OK. 4980118-001 • The existing onsite soils appear to be suitable for use as fill material provided they are free of organic material, debris, and rock fragments larger than 6 inches in maximum dimension. • Ground water was observed in several of the borings excavated in the alluvial areas onsite. It is anticipated that groundwater will limit the extent of required removals in the area adjacent to the intersection with the proposed Cannon Road extension in the area of Boring B-2 and B-3, in the area of Borings B-4 and B-5, and in the immediate vicinity of the main drainage west and south of the proposed roadway alignment onsite. Perched ground water conditions were encountered within several of the large diameter borings excavated during the course of this study. Seepage is typically encountered where a relatively impermeable material such as a claystone or a cemented layer (i.e. the Santiago Formation) underlies a relatively permeable material such as sandstone or sandy fill soils. We recommend stability fills on all south and west facing cut slopes to increase slope stability. In addition, after removal of undocumented fill and alluvium, canyon subdrains should be installed to avoid a future buildup of water. Additional subdrains may be required based upon our review of final development plans and conditions encountered during site grading. • Active or potentially active faults are not known to exist on the Faraday Avenue project. However, inactive faults and other seismic features have been mapped and/or observed transecting the site. The impact of these faults will depend on their location and relation to the proposed cut slopes and structural improvements. The observed sheared material associated with the faulting may affect the stability of the cut slopes and, in roadway areas, juxtapose materials with differing engineering characteristics at grade. The exact location of the faulting can best be determined during grading operations. Mitigative measures may include overexcavation and recompaction or special structural section recommendations and stabilization fills for impacted proposed cut slopes. • A maximum probable earthquake of moment magnitude 5.9 on the Rose Canyon fault could produce a peak horizontal ground acceleration of approximately 0.30g at the site. The slip rate of the fault has been estimated at 1.5mm/yr. (State of California, 1996) and the soil profile type is Sc (per Table 16-J of theI997UBC). • Based on our evaluation, the potential for liquefaction of the majority of site soils due to the design earthquake is considered low. • Grading of the subject site may result in a transition condition (cut/fill) in several of the proposed roadway areas. Section 5.1.6 provides recommendations to mitigate these conditions. • Environmental sampling along the alignment did not encounter concentrations of organochlorine pesticides, phosphate, or Total Kjeldhal Nitrogen above the presently known action levels. -12- LSIGHTON AND ASSOCIATES, UK. 4980118-001 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Earthwork We anticipate that earthwork at the site will consist of site preparation, excavation, removal and recompaction of potentially compressible soils, fill placement, and backfill. We recommend that earthwork on the site is performed in accordance with the following recommendations, the City of Carlsbad grading requirements, and the General Earthwork and Grading Specifications included in Appendix D. In case of conflict, the following recommendations shall supersede those in Appendix D. 4.1.1 Site Preparation Prior to grading, all areas to receive structural fill or engineered structures should be cleared of surface and subsurface obstructions, including any existing debris, potentially compressible material (such as topsoil, colluvium, alluvium, weathered formation materials, and undocumented fill soils), and stripped of vegetation. Holes resulting from removal of buried obstructions which extend below finish site grades should be replaced with suitable compacted fill material. All areas proposed to receive structural fill or slopes with inclinations greater than 3 to 1 should be scarified to a minimum depth of 12 inches, brought to near optimum moisture condition, and recompacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction (based on ASTM Test Method D1557-91) prior to the placement of any additional fill soils. 4.1.2 Removal and Recompaction of Potentially Compressible Soils In general, alluvium, colluvium, topsoil, landslide debris, weathered formational soils, and undocumented fill soils in areas of proposed structural fill, should be excavated, moisture conditioned or dried back to obtain a near optimum moisture content, and then compacted prior to placing any additional fill. These soils are anticipated to be porous and potentially compressible in their present state, and may settle appreciably under the surcharge of fills or foundation loading. Removals in areas of proposed structural improvements should be projected downward at a 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) to competent formational material (where applicable) prior to the placement of additional fill soils. In general, we estimate alluvial removals will range up to a maximum of 15-25 feet in depth, and will be limited by the depth of ground water. The colluvial removals will in general range from 5 to ± 20 feet, while removals of topsoil and near-surface soil will be on the order of 2 to 4 feet. It should be noted that deeper removals may be required in areas proposed for structural improvements due to localized thicker zones of compressible soils. -13- LSIGHTOH AMD ASSOCIATES, UK. 4980118-001 Other areas of undocumented fill although limited in extent may require complete removal and recompaction if structural improvements are proposed. 4.1.3 Excavations Excavations of the onsite materials may generally be accomplished with conventional heavy-duty earthwork equipment. It is not anticipated that blasting will be required or significant quantities of oversized rock (i.e. rock with maximum dimensions greater than 6 inches) will be generated during grading (excluding Santiago Peak Volcanics). However, if oversized rock is encountered, it should be placed as fill in accordance with the details presented in Appendix D. Due to the relatively high density characteristics and coarse nature of the onsite soils, temporary excavations such as utility trenches with vertical sides in the onsite soils should remain stable for the period required to construct the utility, provided they are free of adverse geologic conditions. Trench operations should be performed in accordance with the most recent OSHA requirements. For excavations deeper than 15 feet, specific recommendationscan be made on a case by case basis. 4.1.4 Fill Placement and Compaction The onsite soils are generally suitable for use as compacted fill provided they are free of organic material, debris, and rock fragments larger than 6 inches in maximum dimension. Fill soils placed in areas of proposed structural improvements and/or slopes within inclinations greater than 3 to 1 should be brought to near-optimum moisture content and compacted in uniform lifts to at least 90 percent relative compaction based on laboratory standard ASTM Test Method D1557-91. The 90 percent relative compaction should extend a minimum often feet outside the structural improvement footprint and downward at a 1:1 projection (horizontal to vertical) to competent material. The optimum lift thickness required to produce a uniformly compacted fill will depend on the type and size of compaction equipment used. In general, fill should be placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in thickness. Placement and compaction of fill should be performed in general accordance with the current City of Carlsbad grading ordinances, sound construction practice, and the General Earthwork and Grading Specifications presented in Appendix D. 4.1.5 Expansive Soils The expansion potential of the soils encountered within the subject site are described as follows: Undocumented Fill: Low expansion potential for the majority of the soils. Minor amounts of silty sand/clayey sand soils may have a moderate expansion potential. -14- LEISHTON AND ASSOCIATES, OK. 4980118-001 Alluvium and Colluvium: Low expansion potential for sandy soils to high for clayey soils. Topsoil: Low expansion potential for sandy soils to high for clayey soils. Santiago Formation: Low expansion potential for silty sandstone, medium to high for sandy to clayey siltstonesand high to very high for the silty claystones. Expansion testing of representative finish grade soils in proposed building areas should be performed upon completion of rough grading to better assess the expansion potential of the finish grade soils so that final foundation recommendations can be provided, as necessary. 4.1.6 Earthwork Shrinkage/Bulking The volume change of excavated onsite materials upon recompaction as fill is expected to vary with material and location. Typically, the surficial soils and bedrock material vary significantly in natural and compacted density, and therefore, accurate earthwork shrinkage/bulking estimates cannot be determined. However, the following factors, based on the results of our geotechnical analysis and our experience grading the adjacent Carlsbad Ranch project, are provided as guideline estimates. If possible, we suggest an area where site grades can be adjusted be provided and utilized as a balance area. Topsoil: Undocumented Fill Col luv ium/S lope Wash Alluvium Santiago Formation Santiago Formation Santiago Peak Volcanics 5-10 percent shrinkage. 5-15 percent shrinkage 0-4 percent shrinkage 5-15 percent shrinkage 4-7 percent bulking (sandstone) 5-9 percent shrinkage (claystoneteiltstone) 10-18 percent bulking 4.1.7 Control of Ground Water and Surface Waters Based on the data gathered during this investigation and previous preliminary investigations on adjacent sites, it is our opinion that except for deep alluvial areas and the main canyon drainages, a permanent shallow ground water table does not currently exist at the site. The control of ground water in a hillside development is essential to reduce the potential for undesirable surface flow or seepage, hydrostatic pressure and the adverse effects of ground water on slope stability. We recommend that measures be taken to properly finish grade each sheet-graded area, such that drainage water is directed away from top-of-slopes. No ponding of water should be permitted. Drainage design is within the purview of the design civil engineer. Even with these provisions, our experience indicates that shallow ground water conditions can develop in areas where no such ground water conditions existed prior to site development, especially in areas where a substantial increase in surface water infiltration results from landscape irrigation. We recommend that an engineering geologist be present -15- LEIGHTON AND ASSOCIATES, INC. 4980118-001 during grading operations to observe and record areas of present and possible future seepage. Canyon subdrains should be installed in the canyon bottoms that will be infilled and in the keys of stability or buttress fill slopes in order to collect subsurface water and minimize the saturation of the fill soils. The locations for recommended subdrains should be made after review of final grading plans. Additional subdrains may be recommended based on observations made during site grading and review of final development plans. If seepage conditions occur in cut slopes or other areas of the tract, shallow subdrains may be installed to collect the ground water and minimize problems associated with saturated soil. The subdrains should be installed in accordance with the details presented in Appendix D. 4.2 Slope Stability The proposed slopes were analyzed for their deep-seated and surficial stability (Appendix E). Slope stability analyses were performed using the PC software program XSTABLE and the method of homogeneous earth slopes. The values used in the analysis are provided below: Slope Stability Analysis Parameters Soil Type Santiago Formation Clay seam Fill/ButtressesFill (Claystone/Sandstone Mix) Landslide Material Friction Angle (degrees) 30 9 29 26 Cohesion (psf) 250 50 200 200 Due to the interbedded nature of the sandstone and claystone materials in this unit, the friction angle and cohesion values were estimated from these respective values obtained from the claystone and sandstone units themselves. The strength value for the fill soils must be confirmed prior to placement of the mixed fill to verify our assumptions. Cut slopes in the Santiago Formation and fill slopes derived from the predominant on site materials were analyzed for inclinations up to 2 to 1 (horizontal to vertical). Where adverse geologic conditions such as clay seams do not exist, a factor of safety of 1.5 or greater was calculated for the proposed slopes. However, our laboratory tests indicate that slopes derived from the Santiago Formation clavstone only may possess deep-seated instability (when constructed at an inclination of 2;1 [horizontal to vertical]) to a maximum height of only 20 feet (less than the maximum proposed slope heights). Therefore, we recommend that the Santiago Formation claystone be utilized only in deeper fills or thoroughly mixed with onsite sandy soils in accordance with the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant. We recommend that the fill material be tested during grading to evaluate the strength parameters of the fill. -16- LEIGHTON AMD ASSOCIATES, IHC. 4980118-001 A precise grading plan for the proposed alignment was not presented for our review at the time of this report. However, based on our re view of the preliminary alignment map cut and fill slopes are anticipated to be constructed at slope inclinations of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter. Maximum cut slope heights of ± 60 feet and maximum fill slope heights of ± 30 feet are anticipated. While some changes from this plan are anticipated, the overall site grading is not likely to differ significantly. Geotechnical analysis indicates that the proposed cut slopes will generally be stable against deep- seated failure if adverse geologic (i.e., clay seams, or out-of-slope-bedding)conditionsdo not occur in the cut slopes. However, due to the presence of weak clay layers, zones of friable sands, seepage, and out-of-slope bedding, all cut slopes greater than 10 feet in height shall have a stability fill and drains to reduce the potential for slope instability. Due to the potential for additional seepage due to future upslope development, vertical drainage panels are recommended along the backcut on 20 foot centers. A stability fill detail is presented in Appendix D, Slopes may be placed at 1-1/2:1 (horizontal to vertical) if horizontal layers of geogrid are used to stabilize the slope. If this is proposed, the replacement fill may have to be thicker than for a stability fill. Fill slopes up to 30 feet in height at an inclination of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) were analyzed to have an adequate factor of safety (>1.5). The approximate locations of the buttress and stability fill are shown on Plate 2. Slopes in the areas of landslides as represented by Cross-Sections A-A' and B-B' were analyzed for stability. The results are presented in Appendix E and indicate that a buttress is necessary in Cross Section B-B' to increase the factory of safety to in excess of 1.5 (see Plate 2). We recommend that all excavations and cut slopes be observed and mapped by a geologist from our firm during grading operations to verify that the soil and geologic conditions encountered do not differ significantly from those assumed in our analysis. Oversteepening of existing slopes should be avoided during fine-grading and construction unless supported by appropriately designed retaining structures. Cut and fill slopes should be provided with appropriate surface drainage features and landscaped with drought-tolerant vegetation as soon as possible after completion of grading to minimize the potential for erosion. In slopes where seepage is present, drainage should be provided as shown in Appendix D. Slopes which require additional special drainage features can be evaluated and recommendations provided by the geotechnical consultant during grading operations. 4.2.1 Surficial Slope Stability Our calculations of surficial stability (Appendix E) show a calculated factor of safety of 1.5 or greater for the proposed slopes. The strength parameters presented in the previous table were used for our analysis. Erosion and/or surficial failure potential of fill slopes may be reduced if the following measures are implemented during design and construction of the subject slopes. We recommend against the exclusive use of either highly expansive clayey soils or poorly graded sands of the Santiago formation. Highly expansive soils are generally known to be subject to surficial failures when exposed in slope faces. Clayey soils of the Santiago -17- LEIGHTON AND ASSOCIATES, OK. " 4980118-001 Formation weather, generally losing integrity when exposed on slope faces. Poorly graded sands utilized in slope faces may be subject to excessive erosion and rilling. A mixture of clayey soils and sandy soils is recommended to reduce overall expansion potential and slope erosion and increase surficial slope stability. We recommend that mixture of soils be approved by the project geotechnical engineer prior to placement in fill slopes. Cut and fill slopes should be provided with appropriate surface drainage features and landscaped with drought-tolerant, slope-stabilizing vegetation as soon as possible after grading to minimize potential for erosion. Berms should be provided at the top of all slopes and drainage directed such that surface runoff on slope faces is minimized. 4.3 Construction Delay The roadway alignment proposes significant fill loads on areas where complete removals of alluvium cannot be accomplished due to ground water. These areas are near Borings B-2/B-3 and B-4/B-5. We recommend that placement of the pavement and concrete curb-and-gutter and sidewalks be delayed for the following delay periods. The utility construction can commence if the individual utility can tolerate the anticipated settlement. We estimate that approximately 2/3 of the following settlement amount will occur within the first 1/2 of the construction delay period. Based on our analysis, we estimate the following magnitude and time of settlement in these two areas: Area of Existing Canyon B-2/B-3 B-4/B-5 Magnitude of Settlement (inches) 7-9 4-6 Construction Delay (days) 100-120 180-200 We recommend that settlement monuments be installed to further evaluate the amount of timing of the settlement. For planning proposed, a minimum of 14 monuments shall be installed and monitored. We note that the above presents rough estimates only and actual times may vary. 4.4 Retaining Wall/Segmented Wall Design Considerations Embedded structural walls should be designed for lateral earth pressures exerted on them. The magnitude of these pressures depends on the amount of deformation that the wall can yield under load. If the wall can yield enough to mobilize the full shear strength of the soil, it can be designed for "active" pressure. If the wall cannot yield under the applied load, the shear strength of the soil cannot be mobilized and the earth pressure will be higher. Such walls should be designed for "at rest" conditions. If a structure moves toward the soil, the resulting resistance developed by the soil is the "passive" resistance. For design purposes, the recommended equivalent fluid pressure for each case for walls founded above the static ground water table and backfilled with soils of very low to low expansion potential (less than 50 per UBC 18-2) and moderate expansion potential (less than 90 per UBC 18-2) is provided below. Soils with high expansion potential shall not be used as retaining wall backfill. -18- LEIGHTOK AW ASSOCIATES, OK. 4980118-001 Table 2 Equivalent Fluid Weight (pcf) Condition Active At-Rest Passive Very Low to Low Expansion Soils Level 35 55 350 (maximum = 3 ksf) 2:1 Slope 55 65 -- Moderate Expansion Soils Level 45 65 350 (maximum = 3 ksf) 2:1 Slope 65 85 350 The above values assume free-draining conditions. If conditions other than those assumed above are anticipated, the equivalent fluid pressure values should be provided on an individual-case basis by the geotechnical engineer. All retaining wall structures should be provided with appropriate drainage. The outlet pipe should be sloped to drain to a suitable outlet. Typical drainage design is illustrated in Appendix D. Wall back cut excavations less than 3 feet in height can be made near vertical. For back cuts greater than 4 feet in height, but less than 15 feet in height, the back cut should be flattened to a gradient of not steeper than 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) slope inclination. For back cuts in excess of 15 feet in height, specific recommendations should be requested from the geotechnical consultant. Soil resistance developed against lateral structural movement can be obtained from the passive pressure values in the previous table. Further, for sliding resistance, a friction coefficient of 0.35 may be used at the concrete and soil interface. These values may be increased by one-third when considering loads of short duration including wind or seismic loads. The total resistance may be taken as the sum of the frictional and passive resistances provided the passive portion does not exceed two-thirds of the total resistance. The allowable bearing pressure shall be taken as follows: Allowable Bearing Capacity (psf) 2,000 2,500 3,000 Minimum Embedment into Competent Material (inches) 18 24 30 For other walls, such as Keystone or Earthstone, we recommend the following design parameters: Friction Angle of Backfill = 28 degrees Cohesion = 100 psf Passive Resistance = 300 pcf Unit Weight of Backfill = 125 pcf -19- LEI6HWH AMD ASSOCIATES, INC. 4980118-001 Bearing Capacity ~ 2,000 psf (18 inch embankment) = 2,500 psf (24 inch embankment) = 3,000 psf (30 inch embankment) Backcut Slope =1:1 (Fill Soils) = 1-1/2:1 (Colluvial Soils) = 3/4:l (Formational Soils) Drainage = Toe drain and panel drains along backcut if slope is greater than 8 feet high. V- ditchattopofwall. 4.5 Corrosion Concerns The test results from site investigations performed on the adjacent Carlsbad Ranch and other nearby projects indicate the onsite soils possess a negligible to high soluble sulfate content. Soluble sulfates, if present in significant amounts, can be damaging to conventional Type I/II cement. Therefore, as a preliminary recommendations, sulfate resistant cement (Type II or V) should be used. In addition, laboratory testing of finish grade soils at grade or in contact with concrete and/or buried metal conduits should be performed once grading operations are completed. Our minimum resistivity test results indicate that the onsite soils do possess a very corrosive potential to buried, uncoated metal conduit. A corrosion engineer should be consulted to address this condition. 4.6 Preliminary Pavement Design Final pavement recommendations should be provided based on R-value testing of roadway subgrade soils as final grades are achieved. Since we did encounter both clay and sandy soils in our investigation, the R-Value of the actual roadway may vary greatly. Accordingly, based on our laboratory test results, for planning purposes, we have assumed the sandy onsite soils will have an R-value of 50 and the clay soils will have a R-Value of 5. Utilizing an assumed traffic indices of T.I. = 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0, the following structural pavement section can be assumed for planning purposes. -20- LEIBHTONAHD ASSOCIATES, IMC. 4980118-001 Table 3 Traffic Index 7.0 8.0 9.0 Recommended Pavement Section Sandy Subgrade R=50 4 inches asphalt concrete over 6 inches aggregate base 5.0 inches of asphalt concrete over 5.0 inches of asphalt concrete 6.0 inches of asphalt concrete over 6.0 inches of aggregate base Clayey Subgrade R=5 4 inches of asphalt concrete over 15.5 inches of aggregate base 5.0 inches of asphalt concrete over 17.5 inches of aggregate base 6.0 inches of asphalt concrete over 20.0 inches of aggregate base To reduce costs, selective grading should be accomplished so that sandy soils can be left in the upper 4 feet of roadway subgrade. If this cannot be accomplished, an alternate to the thick pavement section recommended for clay soils would be lime-treatment of the upper 8 to 16 inches of subgrade soils. Lime-treatment may eliminate the need for base in clayey subgrade areas. The upper 12 inches of subgrade soils should be scarified, moisture conditioned and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction based on ASTM Test Method D1557-96. If fill is required to reach subgrade design grade, fill placement should be performed in accordance with the recommendationspresented in Section 4.1.4. The aggregate base material should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction. Class 2 aggregate base should meet the requirements of Caltrans specifications. We recommend that the curbs, gutters, and sidewalks be designed by the civil engineer or structural engineer. We suggest control joints at appropriate intervals as determined by the civil or structural engineer be considered. We also suggest a minimum thickness of 4 inches for sidewalk slabs. In accordance with City of Carlsbad guidelines, concrete improvements within city right of ways should be underlain by a minimum of 6 inches of Caltrans Class 2 aggregate base. If pavement areas are adjacent to heavily watered landscape areas, we recommend some measures of moisture control be taken to prevent the subgrade soils from becoming saturated. It is recommended that the concrete curbing separating the landscaping area from the pavement extend below the aggregate base to help seal the ends of the sections where heavy landscape watering may have access to the aggregate base and subgrade. Concrete swales should be designed in roadway or parking areas subject to concentrated surface runoff. -21- LEIGHTON AND ASSOCIATES, IMC. 4980118-001 5.0 CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS The conclusions and recommendations in this report are based in part upon data that were obtained from a limited number of observations, site visits, borings and trenches, samples, and tests. Such information is by necessity incomplete. The nature of many sites is such that differing geotechnical or geological conditions can occur within small distances and under varying climatic conditions. Changes in subsurface conditions can and do occur over time. Therefore, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations presented in this report can be relied upon only if Leighton has the opportunity to observe the subsurface conditions during grading and construction of the project, in order to confirm that our preliminary findings are representative for this site. -22- LEIGHTOH MB ASSOCIATES, INC. 4980118-001 APPENDIX A REFERENCES Abbott, P.L., ed., 1985, On the Manner of Deposition of the Eocene Strata in Northern San Diego County; San Diego Association of Geologists Fieldtrip Guidebook, April 13,1985.

Samples were placed in a consolidometer and loads were applied in geometric progression. The percent consolidation for each load cycle was recorded as the ratio of the amount of vertical compression to the original 1-inch height. The consolidation pressure curves are presented in the test data. Where applicable, time-rates of consolidation were recorded and presented below: Sample Location SD-4, 20' SD-4, 25' Coefficient of Consolidation Cv (cnvVsec) 1.3xlO'3 2.0 xlO'3 C-l 4980118-001 APPENDIX C (continued) Direct Shear Tests: Direct shear tests were performed on selected undisturbed samples which were soaked for a minimum of 24 hours under a surcharge equal to the applied normal force during testing. After transfer of the sample to the shear box, and reloading the sample, pore pressures set up in the sample due to the transfer were allowed to dissipate for a period of approximately 1 hour prior to application of shearing force. The samples were tested under various normal loads, a motor-driven, strain-controlled, direct-shear testing apparatus. The test results are presented in the test data.

GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING SPECIFICATIONS Page 1 of6 LEIGHTON AND ASSOCIATES, INC. GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING SPECIFICATIONS FOR ROUGH GRADING 1.0 General 1.1 Intent These General Earthwork and Grading Specifications are for the grading and earthwork shown on the approved grading plan(s) and/or indicated in the geotechnical report(s). These Specifications are a part of the recommendations contained in the geotechnical report(s). In case of conflict, the specific recommendations in the geotechnical report shall supersede these more general Specifications. Observations of the earthwork by the project Geotechnical Consultant during the course of grading may result in new or revised recommendations that could supersede these specifications or the recommendations in the geotechnical reports). 1.2 The Geotechnical Consultant of Record: Prior to commencement of work, the owner shall employ the Geotechnical Consultant of Record (Geotechnical Consultant). The Geotechnical Consultants shall be responsible for reviewing the approved geotechnical report(s) and accepting the adequacy of the preliminary geotechnical findings, conclusions, and recommendationsprior to the commencement of the grading. Prior to commencement of grading, the Geotechnical Consultant shall review the "work plan" prepared by the Earthwork Contractor (Contractor) and schedule sufficient personnel to perform the appropriate level of observation, mapping, and compaction testing. During the grading and earthwork operations, the Geotechnical Consultant shall observe, map, and document the subsurface exposures to verify the geotechnical design assumptions. If the observed conditions are found to be significantly different than the interpreted assumptions during the design phase, the Geotechnical Consultant shall inform the owner, recommend appropriate changes in design to accommodate the observed conditions, and notify the review agency where required. Subsurface areas to be geotechnically observed, mapped, elevations recorded, and/or tested include natural ground after it has been cleared for receiving fill but before fill is placed, bottoms of all "remedial removal" areas, all key bottoms, and benches made on sloping ground to receive fill. The Geotechnical Consultant shall observe the moisture-conditioning and processing of the subgrade and fill materials and perform relative compaction testing of fill to determine the attained level of compaction. The Geotechnical Consultant shall provide the test results to the owner and the Contractor on a routine and frequent basis. 3030.1094 Leighton and Associates, Inc. GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING SPECIFICATIONS Page 2 of 6 1.3 The Earthwork Contractor The Earthwork Contractor (Contractor) shall be qualified, experienced, and knowledgeable in earthwork logistics, preparation and processing of ground to receive fill, moisture-conditioning and processing of fill, and compacting fill. The Contractor shall review and accept the plans, geotechnical report(s), and these Specifications prior to commencement of grading. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for performing the grading in accordance with the plans and specifications. The Contractor shall prepare and submit to the owner and the Geotechnical Consultant a work plan that indicates the sequence of earthwork grading, the number of "spreads" of work and the estimated quantities of daily earthwork contemplated for the site prior to commencement of grading. The Contractor shall inform the owner and the Geotechnical Consultant of changes in work schedules and updates to the work plan at least 24 hours in advance of such changes so that appropriate observations and tests can be planned and accomplished. The Contractor shall not assume that the Geotechnical Consultant is aware of all grading operations. The Contractor shall have the sole responsibility to provide adequate equipment and methods to accomplish the earthwork in accordance with the applicable grading codes and agency ordinances, these Specifications, and the recommendations in the approved geotechnical report(s) and grading plan(s). If, in the opinion of the Geotechnical Consultant, unsatisfactory conditions, such as unsuitable soil, improper moisture condition, inadequate compaction, insufficient buttress key size, adverse weather, etc., are resulting in a quality of work less than required in these specifications, the Geotechnical Consultant shall reject the work and may recommend to the owner that construction be stopped until the conditions are rectified. 2.0 Preparation of Areas to be Filled 2.1 Clearing and Grubbing Vegetation, such as brush, grass, roots, and other deleterious material shall be sufficiently removed and properly disposed of in a method acceptable to the owner, governing agencies, and the Geotechnical Consultant. The Geotechnical Consultant shall evaluate the extent of these removals depending on specific site conditions. Earth fill material shall not contain more than 1 percent of organic materials (by volume). No fill lift shall contain more than 5 percent of organic matter. Nesting of the organic materials shall not be allowed. If potentially hazardous materials are encountered, the Contractor shall stop work in the affected area, and a hazardous material specialist shall be informed immediately for proper evaluation and handling of these materials prior to continuing to work in that area. As presently defined by the State of California, most refined petroleum products (gasoline, diesel fuel, motor oil, grease, coolant, etc.) have chemical constituents that are considered to be hazardous waste. As such, the indiscriminate dumping or spillage of these fluids onto the ground may constitute a misdemeanor, punishable by fines and/or imprisonment, and shall not be allowed. 3030.1094 Leightonand Associates, Inc. GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING SPECIFICATIONS Page 3 of6 2.2 Processing Existing ground that has been declared satisfactory for support of fill by the Geotechnical Consultant shall be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches. Existing ground that is not satisfactory shall be overexcavated as specified in the following section. Scarification shall continue until soils are broken down and free of large clay lumps or clods and the working surface is reasonably uniform, flat, and free of uneven features that would inhibit uniform compaction. 2.3 Ovcrexcavation In addition to removals and overexcavations recommended in the approved geotechnical reports) and the grading plan, soft, loose, dry, saturated, spongy, organic-rich, highly fractured or otherwise unsuitable ground shall be overexcavated to competent ground as evaluated by the Geotechnical Consultant during grading. 2.4 Benching Where fills are to be placed on ground with slopes steeper than 5:1 (horizontal to vertical units), the ground shall be stepped or benched. Please see the Standard Details for a graphic illustration. The lowest bench or key shall be a minimum of 15 feet wide and at least 2 feet deep, into competent material as evaluated by the Geotechnical Consultant. Other benches shall be excavated a minimum height of 4 feet into competent material or as otherwise recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant. Fill placed on ground sloping flatter than 5:1 shall also be benched or otherwise overexcavated to provide a flat subgrade for the fill. 2.5 Evaluation/Acceptance of Fill Areas: All areas to receive fill, including removal and processed areas, key bottoms, and benches, shall be observed, mapped, elevations recorded, and/or tested prior to being accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant as suitable to receive fill. The Contractor shall obtain a written acceptance from the Geotechnical Consultant prior to fill placement. A licensed surveyor shall provide the survey control for determining elevations of processed areas, keys, and benches. 3.0 Fill Material 3.1 General: Material to be used as fill shall be essentially free of organic matter and other deleterious substances evaluated and accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant prior to placement. Soils of poor quality, such as those with unacceptable gradation, high expansion potential, or low strength shall be placed in areas acceptable to the Geotechnical Consultant or mixed with other soils to achieve satisfactory fill material. 3.2 Oversize: Oversize material defined as rock, or other irreducible material with a maximum dimension greater than 8 inches, shall not be buried or placed in fill unless location, materials, and placement methods are specifically accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant. Placement operations shall be such that nesting of oversized material does not occur and such that oversize material is completely surrounded by compacted or densified fill. Oversize material shall not be placed within 10 vertical feet of finish grade or within 2 feet of future utilities or underground construction. 3.3 Import If importing of fill material is required for grading, proposed import material shall meet the requirements of Section 3.1. The potential import source shall be given to the Leighton and Associates, Inc. GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING SPECIFICATIONS Page 4 of6 Geotechnical Consultant at least 48 hours (2 working days) before importing begins so that its suitability can be determined and appropriate tests performed. 4.0 Fill Placement and Compaction 4.1 Fill Layers: Approved fill material shall be placed in areas prepared to receive fill (per Section3.0) in near-horizontal layers not exceeding 8 inches in loose thickness. The Geotechnical Consultant may accept thicker layers if testing indicates the grading procedures can adequately compact the thicker layers. Each layer shall be spread evenly and mixed thoroughly to attain relative uniformity of material and moisture throughout. 4.2 Fill Moisture Conditioning Fill soils shall be watered, dried back, blended, and/or mixed, as necessary to attain a relatively uniform moisture content at or slightly over optimum. Maximum density and optimum soil moisture content tests shall be performed in accordance with the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM Test Method D1557-91). 4.3 Compaction of Fill: After each layer has been moisture-conditioned, mixed, and evenly spread, it shall be uniformly compacted to not less than 90 percent of maximum dry density (ASTM Test Method D1557-91). Compaction equipment shall be adequately sized and be either specifically designed for soil compaction or of proven reliability to efficiently achieve the specified level of compaction with uniformity. 4.4 Compaction of Fiil Slopes: In addition to normal compaction procedures specified above, compaction of slopes shall be accomplished by backrolling of slopes with sheepsfoot rollers at increments of 3 to 4 feet in fill elevation, or by other methods producing satisfactory results acceptable to the Geotechnical Consultant. Upon completion of grading, relative compaction of the fill, out to the slope face, shall be at least 90 percent of maximum density per ASTM Test Method D1557-91. 4.5 Compaction Testing: Field tests for moisture content and relative compaction of the fill soils shall be performed by the Geotechnical Consultant. Location and frequency of tests shall be at the Consultant's discretion based on field conditions encountered. Compaction test locations will not necessarily be selected on a random basis. Test locations shall be selected to verify adequacy of compaction levels in areas that are judged to be prone to inadequate compaction (such as close to slope faces and at the fill/bedrock benches). 4.6 Frequency of Compaction Testing: Tests shall be taken at intervals not exceeding 2 feet in vertical rise and/or 1,000 cubic yards of compacted fill soils embankment. In addition, as a guideline, at least one test shall be taken on slope faces for each 5,000 square feet of slope face and/or each 10 feet of vertical height of slope. The Contractor shall assure that fill construction is such that the testing schedule can be accomplished by the Geotechnical Consultant. The Contractor shall stop or slow down the earthwork construction if these minimum standards are not met. Leighton and Associates, Inc. GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING SPECIFICATIONS Page 5 of6 4.7 Compaction Test Locations: The Geotechnical Consultant shall document the approximate elevation and horizontal coordinates of each test location. The Contractor shall coordinate with the project surveyor to assure that sufficient grade stakes are established so that the Geotechnical Consultant can determine the test locations with sufficient accuracy. At a minimum, two grade stakes within a horizontal distance of 100 feet and vertically less than 5 feet apart from potential test locations shall be provided. 5.0 Subdrain Installation Subdrain systems shall be installed in accordance with the approved geotechnical reports), the grading plan, and the Standard Details. The Geotechnical Consultant may recommend additional subdrains and/or changes in subdrain extent, location, grade, or material depending on conditions encountered during grading. All subdrains shall be surveyed by a land surveyor/civil engineer for line and grade after installation and prior to burial. Sufficient time should be allowed by the Contractor for these surveys. 6.0 Excavation Excavations, as well as over-excavation for remedial purposes, shall be evaluated by the Geotechnical Consultant during grading. Remedial removal depths shown on geotechnical plans are estimates only. The actual extent of removal shall be determined by the Geotechnical Consultant based on the field evaluation of exposed conditions during grading. Where fill-over-cut slopes are to be graded, the cut portion of the slope shall be made, evaluated, and accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant prior to placement of materials for construction of the fill portion of the slope, unless otherwise recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant. 7.0 Trench Backfills 7.1 The Contractor shall follow all OHSA and Cal/OSHA requirements for safety of trench excavations. 7.2 All bedding and backfill of utility trenches shall be done in accordance with the applicable provisions of Standard Specifications of Public Works Construction. Bedding material shall have a Sand Equivalent greater than 30 (SE>30). The bedding shall be placed to 1 foot over the top of the conduit and densified by jetting. Backfill shall be placed and densifiedto a minimum of 90 percent of maximum from 1 foot above the top of the conduit to the surface. 7.3 The jetting of the bedding around the conduits shall be observed by the Geotechnical Consultant. 7.4 The Geotechnical Consultant shall test the trench backfill for relative compaction. At least one test should be made for every 300 feet of trench and 2 feet of fill. 3030.1094 Leighton and Associates, Inc. GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING SPECIFICATIONS Page 6 of 6 7.5 Lift thickness of trench backfill shall not exceed those allowed in the Standard Specifications of Public Works Construction unless the Contractor can demonstrate to the Geotechnical Consultant that the fill lift can be compacted to the minimum relative compaction by his alternative equipment and method. 3030.1094 PROJECTED PLANE 1 TO 1 MAXIMUM FROM TOE OF SLOPE TO APPROVED GROUND NATURAL GROUND FILL SLOPE , REMOVE UNSUITABLE MATERIAL BENCH HEIGHT 2'MIN.

Topographically, the site is characterized by numerous ridges and intervening ravines and valleys that intersect a main northwest trending drainage that flows into Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Elevations along the proposed alignment range from approximately 20 feet mean sea level (m.s.l.) at the extreme northwest comer of the site in the main drainage, to approximately 265 feet mean sea level (m.s.l.) near the ridgeline along the eastern edge of the alignment. Natural slopes on the site range from relatively steep (steeper than 1:1, horizontal to vertical) to relatively gentle (less than 3:1, horizontal to vertical). Existing improvements are generally related to past and present agricultural activities on the site. Improvements associated with the agricultural fields include underground irrigation lines and valves and minor cuts and fills associated with access roads. Other onsite improvements include: access roads associated with several utility easements, and a pair of relatively small earthen dams constructed to impound water for irrigation purposes. Non-agricultural vegetation on-site ranges from a relatively thick growth of grasses and weeds on the undisturbed hillsides to shrubs and thick weeds in the ravines. Riparian trees and shrubs grow quite heavily in the main drainage trending northwest-southeast across the site. The majority of the proposed alignment transects hillside agricultural fields. Regional Geology The subject site is located within the coastal subprovence of the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Provence, near the western edge of the southern California batholith. The topography at the edge of the batholith changes from rugged landforms developed on the batholith to the more subdued land forms which typify the softer sedimentary formations of the coastal plain. Site Geology As encountered during our investigation(s), and our review of geotechnical reports applicable to the subject site (Appendix A), the majority of the proposed alignment is underlain by the Tertiary Santiago Formation. The Jurassic-aged Santiago Peak Volcanics is the bedrock unit in the extreme southeast section of the alignment. Surficial units on-site consist of alluvium, colluvium, topsoil, and undocumented fill soils. The approximate areal distributions of the units are shown on the Geologic Maps (Figures 1 through 4) and briefly discussed below. Jurassic Santiago Peak Volcanics (Map Symbol - Jsp) The Jurassic aged Santiago Peak Volcanics crop out in the southeast portion of the subject site. Typically the unit is hard and extremely resistant to erosion and forms topographic highs. Most of the rocks are dark greenish gray where fresh but weather grayish red to dark reddish brown. The soil developed on the Santiago Peak Volcanics is the color of the weathered bedrock and supports the growth of dense chaparral. If deep removals are planned in this area, localized heavy ripping or blasting may be required. Santiago Formation (Map Symbol - Ts) The bedrock unit underlyingthe majority of the site is the Tertiary-aged Santiago Formation. In general, the unit consists of massive to weakly bedded sandstone with interbedded clayey siltstone and silty claystone. The sandstone encountered consisted primarily of light gray, light brown, and light yellow-brown, moist, dense, silty, fine- to occasionally medium-grained sandstone. The sandstone was generally friable, slightly micaceous and weakly bedded to massive. Well cemented sandstone beds were occasionally encountered during this and previous investigations on adjacent sites and may require heavy ripping during grading. The siltstone typically consisted of brown and olive-green gray, moist, stiff, clayey siltstones that were fissile to indistinctly bedded and contained calcium carbonate, manganese-oxide and iron-oxide staining. The claystone typically was gray to brown, moist, stiff to hard, fine-grained, sandy to silty claystone that was moderately sheared. Where encountered, the upper 6 to 12 inchesof the Santiago Formation appears to be moderately weathered, porous and potentially compressible. This layer should be removed and recompacted in areas of structural fill placement or settlement sensitive improvements. Alluvium (Map Symbol — Qal) Alluvium was encountered during our investigation of the proposed alignment in the majority of the drainages and the low lying areas adjacent to and along the proposed alignment. As encountered, the alluvium generally consisted of potentially compressible, moist to wet, loose to medium dense silty sands, sandy silts, and sandy clays. Within the main northwest trending drainage, the alluvium is relatively thick as evidenced by approximately 20-50 feet of alluvium encountered in borings excavated for the adjacent golf course geotechnical investigation. In many of the smaller side canyons, alluvium was encountered and mapped. However, these areas were not accessible with the drilling equipment utilized in this investigation. Based upon our work on adjacent properties and our experience with similar conditions, alluvial depths in these areas can be expected to range up to 10 +feet. Unsaturated alluvial soils are considered potentially compressible and not suitable for the support of structural loads or additional fill soils in areas of settlement sensitive improvements. These soils should be removed and recompacted in areas proposed for structural improvements as part of site grading. Colluvium/ Slope Wash (Map Symbol - Qcol) Holocene aged colluvium / slope wash was encountered mantling the lower valley slopes, in areas undisturbed by agricultural activities. As encountered, the colluvium / slope wash typically consisted of poorly consolidated surficial materials derived from nearby soil and decomposed bedrock sources. This reworked debris is deposited along the flanks of the lower valley slopes by the action of gravity and surface water. Generally, the material was light brown to dark brown, damp to moist, medium dense, silty to clayey sand that was generally 5 to 15 feet in thickness although locally it may be deeper. The colluvium / slope wash was typically porous and anticipated to be potentially compressible under the load of existing fills or improvements. In places, it is difficult to distinguish the sandier colluvial soils from the underlying weathered Santiago Formation. Topsoil (Unmapped) Topsoil was encountered essentially covering the entire site but was not mapped. The topsoil was found to be generally light brown to dark brown, damp, loose to medium dense, silty sands with minor amounts of clay. The topsoil was generally ± 3 feet in thickness and contains moderate amounts of decomposed organics. Where disturbed by the previous agricultural activities, the topsoil may locally be up to 5 feet thick. This unit was evaluated to be compressible under the loading of fill soils or other improvements. UndocumentedFill (Map Symbol - Af) Undocumented fill soil is present on the site in various locations. The major undocumented fill areas consisted of earthen embankments for agricultural ponds, unimproved roads, end-dumped debris piles, and utility trench backfill. Our site reconnaissance indicated that potentially compressible alluvium was left in place beneath these fill areas. In addition, our literature review did not indicate that any documentation or testing was completed for these areas. Undocumented fill soils were also noted in several other locations within the subject site. As encountered, the undocumented fill consisted of numerous soil types, but typically the fill soils were light brown to medium brown and gray, moist to very moist, loose, silty sands and clayey sands. These soils should be removed to expose competent material in areas of proposed fill soils or improvements. Geologic Structure The bedrock units encountered on the site were generally massive to weakly bedded. However, based on our professional experience in the area, bedding of the underlying Santiago Formation is anticipated to be relatively gently dipping (i.e. 5 to 10 degrees) to the west. Ground Water Ground water was encountered within several of the onsite drainages in the lower elevations of the site particularly in the main northwest trending drainage located west of the proposed alignment. The presence of ground water in these areas would most likely limit the removal of alluvium and undocumented fill that would be required for structural improvements proposed for these areas. Perched groundwater conditions were also encountered in several of our borings on-site commonly at the contact between the relatively impermeable Tertiary Santiago Formation and the relatively porous overlying soils. However, ground water is not anticipated to be a constraint to site development provided the recommendations provided in the project geotechnical investigation and during the course of grading are implemented. Mass Movement Based on our review of the previous geotechnical reports, available geologic literature and maps, and aerial photographs, several features indicative of mass movements (such as landslides, surficial slumps, etc.) were observed within the areas proposed for development. In the central and north-central portion of the proposed alignment an area has been mapped as a landslide complex based on topographic expression and data gathered during our subsurface investigation. Geologic mapping of excavations in this area should be performed during site grading. Localized zones of weak claystone/siltstone material are present in the Santiago Formation and may create localized areas that are prone to slope instability if exposed in a cut slope. Accordingly, all cut slopes should be mapped by an engineering geologist during site grading. Additional recommendations for slope stabilization can be provided as needed during site grading. Faulting and Seismicitv Our discussion of the faults on the site is prefaced with a discussion of California legislation and state policies concerning the classification and land-use criteria associated with faults. By definition of the California Mining and Geology Board, an active fault is a fault which has had surface displacement within Holocene time (about the last 11,000 years). The State Geologist has defined a potentially active fault as any fault considered to have been active during Quaternary time (last 1,600,000 years) but that has not been proven to be active or inactive. This definition is used in delineating Fault Rupture Hazard Zones as mandated by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act of 1972 and most recently revised in 1994. The intent of this act is to assure that unwise urban development does not occur across the traces of active faults. Base on our review of the Fault-Rupture Hazard Zones, the subject site is not located within any Fault-Rupture Hazard Zone as created by the Alquist-Priolo Act (Hart, 1994). However, several inactive fault zones have been mapped in a number of places within and adjacent to the subject site (see attached Geologic Maps, Figures 1 through 4). These inactive fault zones are not considered to be a constraintto site development. The location of the proposed development can be considered to He within a seismically active region, as can all of southern California. The subject site lies within Seismic Zone 4 as outlined in Section 1629 of the 1997 edition of the UBC. The Rose Canyon Fault Zone which is located approximately 4.5 miles to the west of the site is considered to have the most significant seismic effect at the site from a design standpoint. A maximum probable earthquake of moment magnitude 5.9 on the fault could produce a peak horizontal ground acceleration of approximately 0.30g at the site. The slip rate of the fault is estimated at 1.5 mm/yr. (State of California, 1996) and the soil profile type is Sc (per Table 16-J of the 1997 UBC). Seismic Considerations The principal seismic considerations for most structures in southern California are surface rupturing of fault traces, damage caused by ground shaking and/or seismically induced liquefaction or dynamic settlement. The probability of damage due to ground rupture is considered minimal since active faults are not known to cross the site. Ground lurching due to shaking from distant seismic events is not considered a significant hazard, although it is a possibility throughout the southern California region. Ground Shaking The seismic hazard most likely to impact the site is ground shaking resulting from an earthquake on one of the major regional faults. As discussed above, a maximum probable event on the Rose Canyon Fault Zone (considered the design earthquake for this site) could produce a peak horizontal acceleration at the site of 0.30g. Liquefaction/Dynamic Settlement Liquefaction of cohesionless soils can be caused by strong vibratory motion due to earthquakes. Research and historical data indicate that loose granular soils underlain by a near-surface ground water table are most susceptible to liquefaction, while the stability of most silty clays and clays is not adversely affected by vibratory motion. The Santiago Formation is generally not considered liquefiable due to its high density characteristics. From our preliminary field study, it appears that the area most likely susceptible to liquefaction is the main drainage area. Accordingly, as the proposed alignment does not infringe upon the main drainage, it is our professional opinion that the proposed roadway alignment has a low potential for liquefaction. Grading Due to the uneven terrain of the project site, grading will be required in order to achieve the design grades. In certain areas of the proposed alignment, this will require that significant cuts and/or fills be made in order to achieve the design grade. It is our professional opinion that development of the proposed alignment will not be precluded by the soil and geologic conditions at the site. However, remedial measures will be required to ensure stable grading. The presence of loose, potentially compressible surface deposits in the form of topsoil, alluvium, colluvium, and undocumented fill soils will require special consideration during grading. In addition, ground water was observed as runoff in the major drainages and was encountered as seepage in several of our borings. Remedial measures will likely be required to address the groundwater conditions. Loose unconsolidated deposits on the project site should be removed and densified, and subdrains installed where required to reduce the build-up of a shallow groundwater condition. The Safety Element of Carlsbad General Plan establishes requirements for the preparation of geotechnical studies for various land uses. Implementation of the Safety Element of the Carlsbad General Plan requires the compilation of site-specific geotechnical reports for development projects, use of appropriate construction techniques during development as recommended by a registered engineer, and implementation of standards for grading and construction to mitigate geologic hazards during and after development. These strategies will be implemented as development moves forward on the project site. In addition, the final grading plan must comply with the City of Carlsbad Grading Ordinances. Due to site conditions, supplemental measures will be required to reduce the geologic impact from grading to less than significant. Earthquake Hazards While no active faults are known to traverse the subject site, earthquakes along regional faults could produce groundshaking at the site. All development must conform to the most recent version of the Uniform Building Code (UBC), which requires building techniques to prevent structural failure during earthquakes. With the implementation of the UBC requirements, the risk of property damage and injury due to earthquakes will be no greater than the risk encountered in other populated areas of southern California. Cumulative Impacts Geologic conditions vary across the subject site, but all development in the region is potentially subject to groundshaking from an earthquake on one of the active regional faults. As all new development must be constructed according to State-mandated requirements for seismic safety, cumulative geotechnical and soil impacts will not be significant. LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE Impacts related to site geotechnical and soil conditions will be potentially significant. While the on-site geologic conditions will not preclude the planned development, remediation measures will be necessary to ensure geologic stability and public safety. MITIGATION MEASURES The following mitigation measures are required to reduce the geotechnical and soil impacts to less than significant. 1. Information and recommendations provided in the Leighton and Associates, Inc., project geotechnical /soils report shall be incorporated into plans for site grading and construction. 2. All grading and subsequent development plans shall be reviewed by a certified engineer and/or engineering geologist prior to finalization to determine the need for additional measures and/or analysis. During the review, special consideration shall be given to the loose, potentially compressible surface deposits in the form of topsoil, alluvium, slopewash, undocumented fill soils, and landslide debris. Such materials will require remedial grading where encountered. LEVEL OF IMPACT AFTER MITIGATION Impacts related to geotechnical and soil conditions will be reduced to less than significant with the implementation of the required mitigation measures.

FAX NO.: (760) 929-0251 (760) 929-0889 Response to Reed Thomas "Questions3" dated 3-4-99: 1. Plans are revised to reflect 2:1 slopes in place of all 11/2:1 slopes and the elimination of the geogrid in the buttress stability fills as recommended in the letter from Leighton and Associates dated January 19,1999. The attached exhibit reflects the revised slopes. Normal buttressing is stilt in force for all 2:1 slopes as recommended in the Geotechnical Investigation dated July 1,1998 by Leighton. DCSS removal will be done by others. Permission from the resource agencies is required to remove the DCSS before August 30th of 1999. The City is seeking that permission with the expectation that the removal will be done prior to grading. If permission is not granted then the removal will be done by others by September 15th of 1999. 2. Per Leighton and Associates backcuts for slopes greater than 15* in height shall be no steeper than one horizontal to one vertical per Appendix D in the Geotechnical Investigation dated July 1,1998 by Leighton and Associates. 3. Specific recommendations will be issued in the field by the Geotechnical Consultant during grading and will be paid for at the lump sum price of $20,000.00 for slides and slip outs per Section 3-3 SSPWC. 4. Coordination of this will be done between the contractor and the manufacturer to insure that one crane during normal workings hours is sufficient to remove the segments without incurring truck waiting time. 5. The specifications for the design, manufacture and delivery of the pedestrian crossings state that the manufacturer pays for waiting time if he fails to properly schedule and coordinate the delivery with the contractor. It is the responsibility of the contractor to pay waiting charges if the contractor is unable to remove the sections in a timely fashion. 6. Typical standing time is one half to one hour before the trucking company begins charging waiting time. 7. It is the contractor's responsibility to acquire the San Diego Regional Standard Drawings. Drawings M-5 and D-75 are included with this package as a courtesy. 5900 Pasteur Court Suite 100 Carlsbad, California 92008 760-931-7700 Fax: 760-931-8680 Civil Engineering Planning Processing Surveying E-mail :oday@oday consultants, com Sherri Howard March 10,1999 Page 2 of 2 Response to Reed Thomas "Questions4" dated 3-4-99: 1. The geotechnical consultant anticipates no drainage facilities other than the required bedding for the undercrossings. Additional drainage requirements during construction will be paid for as an extra to the contract. 2. The stabilization fabric is no longer necessary since the 1>£:1 slopes have been redesigned to 2:1. 3. Canyon subdrains are required and are shown on the attached drawings and added to the replacement bid schedule and shall be installed per the recommendations in the Geotechnical Investigation dated July 1,1998 by Leighton and Associates. Response to Signs & Pinnick letter dated 3-5-99: 1. All three areas get the same seed mix. There are three areas because hydroseeding may be called off for any or all of the three areas at a later date. 2. The Green Book specifies that fill outside of the pavement structural section be brought to 90% relative compaction unless otherwise specified (300-4.7). It also states that areas to be planted must be brought to finish grade first and then cultivated (308-2.3.2.) 300-4.7 in the special provisions allows the grading contractor to back off of compaction for the last six inches to 85% understanding that the area will be later cultivated to facilitate hydroseeding. 3. Water will be available at one end of the project or the other 4. The hydroseed mix as specified has been reviewed and is suitable for this application. Response to Signs & Pinnick letter dated 3-8-99: 308-4.8.3.1 Weed Eradication. Replace the first sentence with the following: "Water all areas to be hydroseeded for three (3) weeks prior to hydroseeding to allow for germination of the weed seeds." Response to Sukut letter with no date: 1. Per the geotechnical consultant alluvial removals are to be removed to firm formational material, 2' above water table, or to 100% saturation level, whichever is first. 2. Per the geotechnical consultant the 1:1 projection is correct. 3. Yes 4. Engineer's surveyor will perform survey for pay quantities. 5. Yes, but for bidding purposes the maximum was specified in a previous RFl. 6. The precast sections will have reinforcing bars protruding from the last section on each end. Contractor will tie reinforcing bars specified for the cast-in-place section to the protruding bars accordingly. The headwalls for the pedestrian undercrossings attaches to reinforcing bars protruding from the end of the beveled cast-in-place sections. John P.

Based on the results of our investigation, we provide the following: Alluvial Area B-2/B-3 B-4/B-5 Anticipated Settlement (inches) 7 to 9 4 to 6 Maximum Design Fill Load (feet) 30 5 to 10 Our calculations indicate that additional remedial action (such as a surcharge fill of the following height above design grade or the installation of wick drains through the saturated alluvial soils at the following spacing) will decrease the approximate construction delay as follows: Recommended Construction Delay Alluvial Area B-2/B-3 B-4/B-5 Without Remedial Action 100-120 days 180-200 days Surcharge Fill Height 10ft 100 days 150 days 20ft 90 days 100 days 30ft 80 days 80 days Wick Drain Spacing 3ft 60 days 70 days 4ft 90 days 100 days 5ft 100 days 130 days Additional calculations and analysis should be performed if one or a combination of the above remedial actions are chosen. We have assumed Nilex Mebra 7407 Wick Drains for our analysis. Of course, the above is only a rough estimate of the time of the recommended construction delay. The actual construction delay can only be evaluated based on the results of a settlement monitoring program of the actual embankment materials after the roadway construction has been completed. md/O'DayFaraday 3934 MURPHY CANYON ROAD, SUITE B205 SAN DIEGO, CA 92123-4425 (619) 292-8030 • FAX (619) 292-0771 Leighton and Associates GEOTECHNICAL CONSULTANTS Novembers, 1998 Project No. 9801118-002 To: O'Day Consultants 5900 Pasteur Court, Suite 100 Carlsbad, California 92008-7317 To: Mr. John Strohminger Subject: Update Letter and Additional Design Recommendations, Faraday Avenue Extension, Carlsbad, California Reference: Leighton & Associates, 1998, Geotechnical Investigation for the Proposed Faraday Avenue Extension, Alternate 8 Split, Carlsbad California, Project No 4980118-001, dated July 1, 1998 O'Day Consultants, 1998, Grading and Drainage Plans of Faraday Avenue, Sheets 1-15, Project No 3593, DWG 369-2,70% Submittal dated November 3, 1998 Introduction In accordance with your request we have prepared this update letter for the subject project. In addition, this letter provides some additional recommendations for the site development. In general, site conditions remain essentially as described in our geotechnical report referenced above. Accordingly, the recommendations presented in that report remain pertinent and applicable. This letter does, however, present additional recommendations based on design alterations since review of the preliminary plans. Settlement Monitorine It has been determined that in order to accelerate the settlement of the saturated alluvial soils that will remain in place after removals, a surcharge of 10 feet of fill will be placed above the design finish grade. The areas where the surcharge is required are located between Station 13+95 and 19+00 (Surcharge Area 1), and between Station 35+40 and 37+10 (Surcharge Area 2). With a 10-foot surcharge, Surcharge Area 1 is anticipated to have a settlement time of approximately 100 days. Surcharge Area 2 is anticipated to have a settlement time of approximately 150 days. During the settlement monitoring period, settlement sensitive improvements such as curbs, gutters, sidewalks, pavement, and settlement sensitive utilities that cross the surcharge area should not be installed. Storm drain lines which extend down the canyon areas (perpendicular to the road center line) and which have significant fall can be installed as these lines will not be crossing areas where significant differential settlement is anticipated. 3934 MURPHY CANYON ROAD, SUITE B205 SAN DIEGO, CA 92123-4425 (619) 292-8030 • FAX (619) 292-0771 980118-002 The above mentioned duration of settlement are approximate due to the possibility of unknown conditions that may exist in the subsurface. The actual duration of the settlement monitoring period will be dependent on actual survey data of settlement monuments. We recommend that at-grade settlement monuments be installed at the following stations after the completion of site grading. Surcharge Area 1 14+00 15+00 16+00 17+00 18+00 19+00 Control Surcharge Area 2 35+00 36+00 36+00 37+00 Control The settlement monuments should be surveyed approximately eVery two weeks with data forwarded to the geotechnical consultant for review. Surcharge soils should be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent to reduce the potential for settlement of the surcharge fill to affect the survey readings. When the data indicates that a majority of the anticipated settlement has occurred, the site will be released for the completion of site construction. We also recommend that at least one settlement monument in each of the two areas be installed in a cut/bedrock area to be used as a control to adjust /evaluate the survey data. Dewaterine Trench We had previously discussed the possibility of a dewatering trench in each area to accelerate the settlement process. Based on further review of the site conditions, these trenches may not be effective due to the potential caving and relatively low permeability of the alluvial soils. As such, the use of a dewatering trench is not recommended. If it is desired to reduce the overall settlement time, we recommend that deeper removals across the entire alluvial area be considered. In areas where remaining alluvium is less than 10 to 15 feet thick, it may be possible to remove all of the alluvial soils and thus eliminate the need for a settlement monitoring period. Proposed 1-1 /2 to 1 Cut Slopes We also understand that it is desirable to construct some of the onsite cut slopes at gradients of 1-1 /2 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) instead of 2:1. As noted in the project geotechnical report, this is acceptable from a geotechnical standpoint provided the slopes are constructed as geogrid reinforced slopes. A typical stability fill detail is included in the above referenced report. All stability fills should be provided with subdrains and benching in accordance with this detail. Stability fill backcuts should have gradients of not steeper than 0.75 to 1 (horizontal to vertical). The base of the stability fill should extend a minimum of 5 feet below the toe of slope. 1-112:1 slopes should be reinforced with geogrid reinforcement consisting of Tensar UX1400 or Miragrid 5T in accordance with the following: 980118-002 Slope Height (feet) up to 10 up to 20 up to 30 up to 40 up to 50 Grid Length at Top of Buttress (feet) 10 10 15 20 25 Grid Length at Bottom of Buttress (feet) 10 20 30 40 50 Average Vertical Grid Spacing (feet) 3 3 2.5 1.8 1.5 Actual design will be based on the actual design slope height and will be provided when the actual slope areas are identified. The backcut of all buttress fills should be mapped by the geotechnical consultant during grading to verify that conditions do not differ significantly from those used in our analyses.
