Recommendations for site development are provided in our Supplemental Geotechnical Investigation dated August 22, 1989 (Reference 1, Appendix A). The grading contractor for this project was Chilcote Inc. Civil Engineering was provided by Bodas Engineering, Inc. who also prepared the grading plan used as a base for our Site Plan, Plate 1. The area covered by this report includes Lots 65, 50 a small portion of the south east corner of Lot 64 as well as portions of Carrier Ave and Palomar Oaks Way. The remaining lots in Unit 3 including the remainder of Lot 64 will be documented in later reports once grading in this area has been completed. 1.1 Authorization This report and the associated services were performed in accordance with the provisions of our Proposal No. SDP8-5040, dated September 22, 1988. - 7 - - - - - - - - - - Centre Development September 25, 1989 Job No. 05-4879-013-00-10 Log No. 9-2092 Page 2 1.2 Scone of Services Field personnel were provided by us to perform observations and testing in order to enable us to develop professional opinions. Our services did not include supervision or direction of the actual work of the contractor, his employees, or agents. Specifically, our services involved the following: a. Research and review of previous geotechnical investigations and reports. b. Testing and observation of earthwork operations. C. Laboratory testing to determine pertinent engineering characteristics of the soil and bedrock materials. d. Preparation of this report which summarizes our findings, opinions, and recommendations. 2.0 SITE DISCRIPTION Palomar Oaks Way, Stations 17+00 through 23+00, is located north of Palomar Airport Road in the City of Carlsbad. The site is situated in the southeastern corner of Carlsbad Airport Centre Unit 3, and includes a narrow strip in the northeastern corner of the Carlsbad Airport Centre Unit 1.

Their work is described in their "Report of Geotechnical Services, Carlsbad Tract No. 81-46" Airport Business Centre Unit 1, City of Carlsbad, California*1 dated February 25, 1987, (Reference 2, Appendix A). On September 9, 1988 the site was prepared to receive additional fill. The existing fill surface was scarified, moisture conditioned and recompacted. Grading operations referenced in this report were performed during the period September 21, 1988 through October 28, 1988, and May 11, 1989 through August 21, 1989. Results of compaction tests are tabulated in Table 2. Approximate test locations are shown on the attached Site Plan, Plate 1. Density tests were performed in accordance with ASTM D2922-81, D3017-78 (Nuclear Methods) and D1556-82 (Sandcone Method). Maximum density and optimum moisture content relationships were determined using ASTM D1557-78 (Modified Proctor). Results of maximum density/optimum moisture content relationships are included as Table 1. Fill soils placed at the site were imported. The soil was generated during the construction of Palomar Airport Road. Brief descriptions of the soils are presented in Table 1. - - - - - Centre Development September 25, 1989 Job No. 05-4879-013-00-10 Log No. 9-2092 Page 4 4.0 CONCLUSIONS In our opinion, all grading and compaction operations were performed in general accordance with the recommendations provided by San Diego Geotechnical Consultants, Inc. (see Reference l), and requirements of the City of Carlsbad. 5.0 LIMITATIONS OF INVESTIGATION Our investigation was performed using the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised, under similar circumstances, by reputable soils engineers and geologists practicing in this or similar localities. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to the conclusions and professional advice included in this report. The samples taken and used for testing and the observations made are believed representative of the entire project; however, soil and geologic conditions can vary significantly. The findings of this report are valid as of the present date. However, changes in the conditions of a property can occur with the passage of time, whether they be due to natural processes or the works of man on this or adjacent properties. In addition, changes in applicable or appropriate standards may occur, whether they result from legislation or the broadening of knowledge. Accordingly, the findings of this report may be invalidated wholly or partially by changes outside our control. Therefore, this report is subject to review and should not be relied upon after a period of three years. *** - - -. - - ~- Centre Development September 25, 1989 Job No. 05-4879-013-00-10 Log NO. 9-2092 Page 5 *** SAN DIEGO GEOTECHNICAL CONSULTANTS, INC. @sir-J Reviewed by y2/2& Raym d M.
