We performed our services during the period of August 17, 2015 through February 17, 2016. The grading of Lots 5 and 6 was performed concurrently with the grading of the overall Quarry Creek project. Our scope of services included the following: Observing the grading operation, including processing the upper surface of unsuitable soil and the placement of compacted fill. Performing in-place density tests in fill placed and compacted at the site. Performing laboratory tests to aid in evaluating compaction characteristics of various soil conditions encountered. Preparing an as-graded geologic map. Preparing this final report of grading. The purpose of this report is to document that the grading of subject project has been performed in substantial conformance with the recommendations of the project update geotechnical report. GENERAL The Quarry Creek site is located south of State Route 78 and west of College Boulevard in the city of Carlsbad, California. Lot 5 is located at the northwest corner of the overall Quarry Creek development, west of area R-2. Lot 6 is located on the north end of the property, north of Haymar GEOCON INCORPORATED GEOTECHNICAL ■ ENVIRONMENTAL ■ 6960 Flanders Drive ■ San Diego, California 92121-297 4 ■ Telephone 858.558.6900 ■ Fax 858.558.6159 Project No. 07135-42-05 - 2 - May 20, 2020 Drive (see Vicinity Map, Figure 1). Lot 5 is an open space lot. Lot 6 is a park and ride. No buildings are planned for either lot. LB3 Enterprises Incorporated performed the grading. Project Design Consultants prepared the grading plans titled Mass Grading Plans for Quarry Creek, HDP 11-04, Drawing No. 484-5A, Carlsbad California, with a City of Carlsbad approval date of June 4, 2015. Geocon Incorporated prepared the project geotechnical report titled Update Geotechnical Investigation, Quarry Creek, Carlsbad/Oceanside, California, dated February 24, 2015 (Project No. 07135-42-05) and Update Report, Quarry Creek Lot 6, Carlsbad, California, dated January 18, 2018. We used an AutoCAD file of the grading plans provided by the project civil engineer as the base map to present as-graded geology and the approximate locations of in-place density tests (Figure 2). References to elevations and locations herein are based on surveyors’ or grade checkers’ stakes in the field, elevation shots taken with a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit by the grading contractor, and/or interpolation from the referenced grading plan. Geocon Incorporated does not provide surveying services and, therefore, expresses no opinion regarding the accuracy of the as-graded elevations or surface geometry with respect to the approved grading plans or proper surface drainage. GRADING Recent Grading Grading covered under this report consisted of cuts of less than 5 feet and fills up to approximately 30 feet. In Lot 5 alluvium and undocumented fills were removed exposing Santiago Formation or Terrace Deposits. Areas receiving compacted fill in Lot 5 were scarified, moisture conditioned, and compacted prior to placing fill. Fill soils were then placed and compacted in layers until design elevations were attained. Fills were placed in lifts no thicker than would allow for adequate bonding and compaction. Grading generally resulted in an approximately three-foot-thick soil cap that generally consists of very low to medium expansive materials. In general, fill materials placed during grading consist of clayey to silty sand and silty to sandy clay. In Lot 6 cuts of 1-foot or less were made at the east end and fills of approximately 2 feet or less were made throughout the remainder of the lot. Geocon was not called out to observe the grading in Lot 6, which occurred after the completion of mass grading in the overall Quarry Creek development. In Lot 5, oversize rock and concrete (material > 6 inches) was placed during grading. The oversize material was keep at least three feet below design finish grade. Oversize rock was spread out within the compacted fill areas such that soil around the oversize rock could be compacted by the grading Project No. 07135-42-05 - 3 - May 20, 2020 equipment. Although particular attention was given to restricting oversize material placement to the criteria described above, some oversize chunks could be present in the upper portions of the fill areas. During the grading operation, we observed compaction procedures and performed in-place density tests to evaluate the dry density and moisture content of the fill material. We performed in-place density tests in general conformance with ASTM D 6938, Standard Test Method for In-Place Density and Moisture Content of Soil and Soil-Aggregate by Nuclear Methods. A summary of in-place density and moisture content tests are presented on Table I. Other units within the Quarry Creek development were graded concurrently with Lot 5. Therefore, the field density tests shown on Table I are not in sequential order. Where fill soil contained rock larger than ¾-inch, a correction was made to the laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content using methods suggested by AASHTO T224. The values of maximum dry density and optimum moisture content presented on Table I reflect these corrections. In general, in-place density test results indicate fill soils have a dry density of at least 90 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density at or slightly above optimum moisture content at the locations tested. The approximate locations of in-place density tests taken during grading specific to the project are shown on Figure 2. We performed laboratory tests on samples of soil used for fill to evaluate moisture-density relationships, optimum moisture content and maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557). Results of the laboratory tests are summarized on Table II. Slopes Fill slopes constructed during grading have an approximate inclination of 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) or flatter, with maximum height of approximately 38 feet. The outer approximately 15 feet of fill slopes were constructed with granular soil and were either over-filled and cut back or were track-walked with a dozer during grading, in substantial conformance with the recommendations of the project geotechnical report. The project slopes have a calculated factor of safety of at least 1.5 under static conditions with respect to both deep-seated failure and shallow sloughing conditions. All slopes should be planted, drained, and maintained to reduce erosion. Slope irrigation should be kept to a minimum to just support the vegetative cover. Surface drainage should not be allowed to flow over the tops of slopes. Project No. 07135-42-05 - 4 - May 20, 2020 SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS In general, the soil and geologic conditions encountered during grading were found to be similar to those described in the referenced project geotechnical report. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1.0 General 1.1 Based on observations and test results, it is the opinion of Geocon Incorporated that grading observed by Geocon Incorporated has been performed in substantial conformance with the recommendations of the referenced project geotechnical reports. Soil and geologic conditions encountered during grading that differ from those anticipated by the project geotechnical reports are not uncommon. Where such conditions required a significant modification to the recommendations of the project geotechnical reports, they have been described herein. 1.2 No soil or geologic conditions were observed during grading that would preclude the continued development of the property as planned. Based on laboratory test results and field observations, it is our opinion that the fill soils placed during grading have been compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction. 1.3 References to fill thickness or capping of pads are approximate and may be affected by subsequent fine grading to achieve proper surface drainage. 2.0 Future Grading 2.1 Any additional grading performed at the site should be accomplished in conjunction with our observation and compaction testing services. Geocon Incorporated should review grading plans for any future grading prior to finalizing. All trench and wall backfill should be compacted to a dry density of at least 90 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density near or to slightly above optimum moisture content. This office should be notified at least 48 hours prior to commencing additional grading or backfill operations. 3.0 Slope Maintenance 3.1 Slopes steeper than 3:1 (horizontal:vertical) may be susceptible to near-surface slope instability. Surficial slope failures are difficult to predict and prevent. The instability is typically limited to the outer 3 feet of a portion of the slope and usually does not directly impact the improvements on the pad areas above or below the slope. The occurrence of surficial instability is more prevalent on fill slopes and is generally preceded by a period of Project No. 07135-42-05 - 5 - May 20, 2020 heavy rainfall, excessive irrigation, or the migration of subsurface seepage. The disturbance and/or loosening of the surficial soils, as might result from root growth, soil expansion, or excavation for irrigation lines and slope planting, may also be a significant contributing factor to surficial instability. It is therefore recommended that, to the maximum extent practical: (a) disturbed/loosened surficial soils either be removed or properly recompacted, (b) irrigation systems be periodically inspected and maintained to eliminate leaks and excessive irrigation, and (c) surface drains on and adjacent to slopes be periodically maintained to preclude ponding or erosion. It should be noted that although the incorporation of the above recommendations should reduce the potential for surficial slope instability, it will not eliminate the possibility, and, therefore, it may be necessary to rebuild or repair a portion of the project's slopes in the future. 4.0 Site Drainage and Moisture Protection 4.1 Adequate site drainage is critical to reduce the potential for differential soil movement, erosion and subsurface seepage. Under no circumstances should water be allowed to pond adjacent to footings. The site should be graded and maintained such that surface drainage is directed away from structures in accordance with 2013 CBC 1803.3 or other applicable standards. In addition, surface drainage should be directed away from the top of slopes into swales or other controlled drainage devices. Roof and pavement drainage should be directed into conduits that carry runoff away from the proposed structure.
