REPORT OF PRELIMINARY SOIL INVESTIGATION
PROPOSED 80 ACRE SEA R4NCH RESIDENTIAL SITE
LAGOON LANE
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE
This report presents the results of our soil investigation for the
proposed residential development to be located southeast of the inter-
section of Poinsettia Lane and Lagoon Lane and approximately one-
fourth mile north of Batiquitos Lagoon (see Plate No. 1). A brief
legal description of the site is the north 1/2 of the southeast 1/4
of Section 28, T.12 S., R.4 W., S.B.B.M., City of Carlsbad, County of
San Diego, State of California. It is our.understanding that one and/
or two story woodframe residential structures with slab-on-grade con-
struction are planned for thd site.
It ie further understood that maximum cuts ana fills in the order^
.of 50 feet.are anticiDated. The site configuration, test boring
and test trench locations are shown on Plate No. 2 of this report.
This soil investigation was undertaken tot
a) Determine the physical properties of the prevailing soils
including their supporting capacities and settlement charac-
teristics.
b] Provide design information regarding site preparation and
foundations.

2. FINDINGS
2.1 Site Description -
The rectangular-shaped site racges in elevation from 50 feet above
Mean Sea Level in the southwest corner to approximately 300 feet in
the southeast corner. Natural drainage is primarily westerly on mostly
grac?:Jal slopes, although steeper slopes of as much as 3:l are located
on the western side of the promontory situated near the site's eastern
boundary. A major ravine traverses the site from the northeast corner
to the the west, .across which an earthfill dam has been constructed
at approximate midpoint dovmstream. Adjacent to the drainage courses,
"tadland" type topography with near vertical slopes. has resulted
fron differential erosion of sandy soils. These features are most
extensive tourzxds the westerly ad southeasterly portion of the site
where deeper ravines have developed.
Vegetation consists of small stands of eucalyptus trees across the
western side of the site, with more extensive stands on the eastern
side, and scattered trees located along the ravines and behind the
earthfill dam, Various types of brush and shrubs line ravine bottoms
and other areas. The area bounded by B0rir.g Nos. 5, 6, 8 and 11 have
been cleared for agriculture planting.
Trash, consisting of dumped car bodclesLl_gapbr, plastic and metal containers, .

None of the subsurface explorations encountered ground water and
there yas r?~ further evidence of buildings or other manmade structures.

2.2 General Soils Description
In generGl, the majority of the site consists of dense silty sands
and clayey sands which are competent foundation materials for the
proposed construction. A 4 to 5 foot layer of highly expansive clayey ""
si.lts (Eslt) was encountered at a depth of 8.5 feet in Rnrina NO.. 7.
It appears to be continuous throughout the 245 to 250 foot elevation.
Surficial exposures indicate the presence of another layer of clavev~
sjlt between the 280 to 290 foot contours. Because these materials
have high expansive potgntial and low shear strength characteristics,
special measures with respect to selective grading (see Expansive
CharactGristics) and. slope stability (see Slope Stability) may be
necessary.
No. 1. The approximate lateral extent is shown on Plate No. 2, however,
the depth to dense competent formational soil was not determined.
Consolidation tests indicate that at least the upper 6 feet of alluvium
will require recompaction pridr to receiving additional fill and/or
.. structural'loads. The actual depth and extent of rscompaction necessary
-
may either be determined during grading or by an adaitional investigation
- of this particular area.
- The only other soil condition encountered which will require special
attention is the small dam and pond. area underlying Lots 218 to 286.
In this area, all man made fills and alluvial soils should be removed
to firm, natural ground and recompacted.

2.3 Geologx
The entire site consists of sedimentary materials. A iJ;ief description
of the geologic soil.-rock units is presented on P1at.e No. 2 and a
geologic: cross-section is shown 3n Plate i40. 3. Bedding attitudes
t.aken in gulleys at the east end of the site were N40hT5SW and N60W4SW;
essentially flat lyi.ng materials.' As a result, we would not anticipate
slope stability prohlems to be ayyrevated by adversely dipping beds.
Faulting was not observed in any of the yulley exposures or in s-u-bsurface

borings. A fault trace was suspected traversing .the site in a north-sou.:h
YLI-
direction at approximate elevation 225. However, treilcbLing of the
area revealed t.he zipparent faulting as an abutment unconformity hetween
F0cer.e (Eslt-EsS) and PJatcrr,;ry :%z) rakiials, (i.e. ar, irregularity
due to deposition of younger ~~ terrace sands over the older sands).

pandsliding was not directly observed on the site but is suspected.
imnediately adjacent to the easterly boundaxy. According to the
tentative grading plan, dated I+ugusk 2, 1973, site grading above the
slide area will daylight in natural ground undisturbed by 1.andsliding.
It is our opinion that site grzding will not adversely affect this
area. The removal of the elevation 3CO hilltop should have a stabil-
izing effect with regard to future sliding.

Foundations
General: - Conventional spread footings founded in nonexpansive
are reconmended for the snpport of the proposed structure. Con-
SCT 312503
ventional sprea
September 25, 1973
d footings should be founded a IT
"4. .-
Page Five
Linimum of 12 inches
below the adjacent finish grade, have a minimum width of 12 inches
and may be designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of ,2.0
kips per square foot. The above allowable stresses may be increased
by one-third for wind and/or seismic loading and should be decreased
by one-fourth for dead load on1.y.
Adjacent footings founded at different bearing levels should be so
located that the slope from bearing level to bearing level is flatter
than one horizontal to one vertical.
3.12 Expansive Characteristics: The expansive' characteristics of
the clayey silty soils described previously will require special
consideration and/or design so that structural damage is not likely
to occur.
It is recommended that wherever Wnsive soils are used in fill,
it be placed a minimum of 2.5 feet below finish grade and wherever
it occurs within 2.5 feet of finish grade, it be removed and replaced
with nonexpansive soils. Conventional footings may then be used
for the proposed structure.
The limits of the above recommendation shall apply to the area within
a perimeter of 5 feet outside of the propose6 structure.
3.13 Settlement Characteristics: Anticipated total and/or differential
settlement may be considered negligible provided the following recommen-
dation$ @re used: The man made- alluvium in the
SCT 312503 September 25, 1973 Page Six
area of the old reservoir and al-onq Lacroon Lane are to be removed tQ
firm qround and recompacted in accordance with the attached Recommen-
ded Grading Specifications and Special Provisions.
3.2 Slope Stability
The fill slopes as proposed on the grading plan presented by R. &I.
Galloway and Associates, Inc., dated August 2, 1973, were found to
be stable in relation to deep-seated failures.
The stability of cut slopes located in the eastern portion of the
site (i.e.) on hiqhcr elevations, will be d-d
location of the weaker silt stratas within this formation. Based
on strength parameters of these weaker soils, it is our opinion that
cui slopes within this ul1i.l will be stable with relation to deep- '
seated failures if constructed at or flatter than the following reconunen-
ded slope ratios expressed in horizontal to vertical units for the
indicated heights:
Cut Slopes to 30 Feet in H iyh.t:

Cut slopes. in other areas of the site where the above-mentioned soil
conditions are not encountered, will be stable if constructed at or
flatter than 1.5.1 for a maximum of 45 f/ in heiaht.
The above mentioned maximum heights were determine% using a factor . -~
of safety of 1'5 and not considetins se-ia loa-

3.3 Earth Retaining Structures
Active and passive soil pressures for the design of earth retaining
structures will be dependent upon the particular soil conditions being
considered. Should this information be necessary for design purposes,
please provide this office with the location and type of wall proposed.
4. EARTHWORK
4.1 General
Earthwork and grading contcmplated for site preparation should be
accomplished in accordance with the attached Recommended Grading
Specifications and Special Provisions. Structural backfill should
be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent as determined
by A.S.T.M. 1557-66Tr Method A.
4.2 Transition Lots
Foundations supported partially on cut and partially on fill are not
recommended. The tendency of cut and fj.l.1 lots to compress differentially
will probably cause unequal support and consequential cracking of
focndations and floor slabs. Therefore, inon areas. we recommend
that the entire area be undercut 1 foot below the base of propose$
footinqs and be replaced with soil compacted to minimum density mentioned
in Section 4.1.
__
4.3 D,isposal of Nonselect Soils -
We recommend that all detrimentally expansive Soil6 or soils with
low strength parameters be placed in fill slopes at locations such
as that designated as "nonselect soils" on the accompanying sheet
entitled "Special. Grading Recommendations" (see Plate No. 30).
- SCT 312503 September 25, 1973 Page Eight
4.4 Compressible Soils
As previously recommended in Section 3.13 , all loose, commessible
soils, such as those encountered in the vicinity of Borinq No.' 1,
~- should be removed down to firm, natural ground and- to
a minimum of 90 percent of maximum dry density as determined by A.S.T.M.
1557-70. -
- 5. FIELD EXPLORATIONS
Ei.ghteen subsurface explorations were made at the locations indicated
on the attached Plate No. 2 on August 29, 30, and September 7, 1973.
These explorations consisted of eleven horings drilled by means of a
rotary auger drili rig and seven trendhes dug by means of a backhoe.
The explorations were conducted under the observation of cur engineering
geology personnel.
The explorations were carefully logged when made. These logs are
presented on the following Plate Nos. 4 through 15. The soils are
described in accordance with tpe Unified Soils Classification System
as illuStrated on the attached simplified chart. In addition, a verbal
textural. description, the wet color., the apparent moisture, and the
density or consistency are given on the logs. Soil densities €or
granular soils are given as either very loose, loose, medium dense,
dense or very dense. The consistency of silts or clays are given
as either very soft, soft, medium stiff, stiff, very stiff or hard.
SCT 312503 September 25, 1973 Page Nine
Representative core samples were obtained by means of a split tube
sampler driven into the soil by means of the “kelly bar“ of the drill
rig. The energy required to drive the split tube sampler is indicated
on the boring logs as the “penetration resistance”. The core samples
were carefully removed, sealed, and returned to the laboratory for
testing.
Disturbed samples of typical and representative soils were also ohtain,ed
and returned to the laboratory for testing.
6. LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests.were performed in accordance with generally accepted
American Society for Testing and Materials (A.S.T.M.) test methods
or suggested procedures. Representative samples were tested for their
natural densities and moisture contents. The results of.these tests
axe presented on the boring logs.
The expansive potential of clayey soils was determined in accordance
with the following test procedure and the results of these tests appear
on Plate No. 16.
I
Allow the trimmed, undisturbed sample to air dry,to a constant moisture content at a temperature of looo F. Place the dried sample in the consolidometer and allow to compress under a load of 150 psf. Allow Isoisturc to contact the sample and measure its expansion from an air dried to saturated condition.
In addition, the gradations, maximum densities, and the angles of
internal friction and cohesion were determined for typical and represen-
tative samples. The results of the tests are presented on Plate Nos.
16 and 17 of this report.
