Dear Mr. Sato:
In accordance with your request, Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. submits this report
as an update to our" Final Report of Grading Observation and Field Density
Testing", dated January 18, 1990 (Job No. 86-4824). It is our understanding that
development plans have been prepared for Lots 13, 14 and 15 since the issuance
of our initial report and that the site is to be developed ~o receive a 10,000 square-
foot, single-story education building with adjacent asphalt parking and other
improvements. The site has not been significantly altered since our initial
observation and testing, however, the site was only graded to rough pad elevation
for the planned business park and will require additional grading operations
specifically suited for the education building and associated improvements. The
site, we understand, is to be developed in two phases, including construction of the
education building and one parking lot during Phase I, and construction of a future
two-story building and additional parking during Phase II.

A representative of our firm observed the grading operation and tested fill soils that
were placed during the preparation of the lots within the Garden View Plaza
development. Review of our original report indicates that Lots 13, 14 and 15 are
mainly cut lots with up to 2 feet of fill in the western portion of the lots. A recent
visit to the site by a representative of our firm revealed that the site has not been
significantly altered since the completion of grading. However, drainage runoff
across the lots has caused shallow ravines and loose surface soil conditions that
will require removal and recompaction prior to site development.
I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In addition to our recent site visit, we reviewed the following documents prepared
by Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. concerning the subject site and adjacent lots.

Our document reviews and recent site visit revealed that the site is underlain by
dense formational materials and a limited amount of compacted fill soils that were
found to be suitable to support the proposed structure and improvements.
However, the site was graded to rough pad elevation for the planned business park
and will require additional grading operations specifically suited for the proposed
building pad and associated improvements. Also, the current surface of the entire
project site has become weathered and should be reworked to a depth of at least 1
to 2 feet, to provide a uniform soils base for the proposed structure, improvements
and any additional fill.
The original report is still considered valid when used in conjunction with the
following "Conclusions and Recommendations" section. This new section updates
the report to existing standards and shall be adhered to for the proposed
development.
II. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDA TION$
The following conclusions and recommendations are based upon the original site
work conducted by our firm in 1989, and resulting laboratory tests, in conjunction
with our knowledge and experience with the soils in the City of Encinitas.
A. Preparation of Soils for Site Developmeru
1.
Any existing debris and vegetation observed on the site must be removed
prior to the preparation of the building pad and/or areas to receive structural
improvements.

To provide a uniform soil base for the proposed structure, improvements and
pavement, the existing loose and desiccated surface soils shall be removed
and properly recompacted typically up to a depth of 2 feet. or as per the
direction of our field technician. Pavement areas shall be scarified to a depth
of at least 12 inches. The excavated soils shall be cleaned of any debris and
deleterious materials, watered to approximately optimum moisture content.
and compacted to at least 90 percent of Maximum Dry Density.
Any
additional properly prepared fill soils should be placed in layers not exceeding
8 inches in thickness, and be compacted to at least 90 percent of Maximum
Dry Density (ASTM D1557-78) to achieve the designed pad elevation. Any
areas to receive new fill or that will support rigid improvements or proposed
retaining structures should be prepared in a like manner.
In order to have all parts of the building foundation embedded in soils of
similar density, we recommend that the footings be founded only on the
native soils or properly compacted fill.
If, during grading, our field
representative observes and anticipates that parts of the footing will be
founded on transition fill and dense formation, we will require undercutting of
at least 1 foot below the bottom of the footings.
An option to this
requirement would be to have all fill soils supporting structures compacted to
at least 95 percent of maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) and not
undercut the dense formation. Whichever option is chosen shall be clearly
indicated in the project plans.
3.
No uncontrolled fill soils shall remain on the site after completion of any
future site work. In the event that temporary ramps or pads are constructed

of uncontrolled fill soils during the grading operation, the loose fill soils shall
be removed and/or recompacted prior to completion of the grading operation.
4.
Any buried objects which might be discovered on the site shall be removed
and the resulting excavation be properly backfilled with approved on-site or
imported fill soils, and shall then be compacted to at least 90 percent of
Maximum Dry Density.
5.
Any backfill soils placed in utility trenches or behind retaining walls which
support structures and other improvements (such as patios, sidewalks,
driveways, pavements, etc.) shall be compacted to at least 90 percent of
Maximum Dry Density, unless the second option described in Numeral 2 of
the Section A. is chosen, in which case the compaction degree shall be not
less than 95 percent.
Design Parameters for Foundations and Retaining Wall~
The recommended allowable bearing value for design of foundations for the
proposed structure is 2,000 pounds per square foot. This load-bearing value
may be utilized in the design of continuous foundations and spread footings
when founded a minimum of 1 8 inches into the firm natural ground only or
compacted fill only, measured from the lowest adjacent grade at the time of
foundation construction. This total load-bearing value may be increased
one-third for design loads that include wind or seismic analysis. If imported
soils are required to bring the site to grade, the imported soils should be
obtained from an approved off-site borrow area.

An increase of up to 450 psf in the static soil value (of 2,000 pst) may be
allowed for every additional foot in footing width, up to a maximum total
bearing value of 4,500 psf.
Based on our laboratory test results, and our experience with the soil types
on the subject site, the soils should experience differential settlement in
magnitude of Jess than 1 inch. The maximum differential angular rotation
will not exceed 1/300.
7.
Due to numerous reasons, footings and slabs occasionally crack, causing
ceramic tiles or other brittle floor coverings to become damaged. Footings
and slabs should therefore contain at least a nominal amount of reinforcing
steel to reduce the separation of cracks, should they OCcur.
7.1
A minimum of steel for continuous footings should include at least
four No.4 steel bars continuous, with two bars near the bottom of the
footing and two bars near the top.
7.2
Isolated square footings should contain, as a minimum, a grid of No.4
steel bars on 12-inch centers, in both directions, with no less than
three bars each way.
7.3
Floor slabs should be a minimum of 4 inches actual thickness and be
reinforced with at least No.3 steel bars on 18-inch centers. in both
directions, placed at mid height in the slab. Slabs should be underlain
by a 3-inch-thick layer of clean sand (S.E. = 30 or greater) overlying a
6-mil visqueen membrane. Slab subgrade soil shall be moistened prior

to placement of the vapor barrier and pouring of concrete.
It is
recommended that moisture content of subgrade soil for slabs and
footings be checked within 48 hours prior to concrete placement.
We recommend the project Civil/Structural Engineer incorporate
isolation joints and sawcuts to at least one-fourth the thickness of the
slab in any floor designs. The joints and cuts, if properly placed,
should reduce the potential for and help control floor slab cracking. In
any case. spacing of control joints shall not exceed 25 feet between
centers and at reentrant corners.
However, due to a number of
reasons (such as base preparation, construction techniques, curing
procedures, and normal shrinkage of concrete), some cracking of slabs
can still be expected.
NOTE:
The project Structural Engineer shall review all reinforcing
schedules. The reinforcing minimums recommended herein are not to
be construed as structural designs, but merely as minimum safeguards
to reduce possible crack separations. The actual reinforcing schedule
shall be as per the direction of the Structural Engineer.
8.
As a minimum for protection of on-site improvements, it is recommended
that all nonstructural concrete slabs (such as patios, walkways, etc.) be at
least 4 inches thick, underlain by at least 3 inches of clean sand, include 6 x
6 - 10/10 welded wire mesh at the center of the slab, and contain adequate
isolation joints. Proper shrinkage joints (sawcuts) should be provided and
spaced no farther than 12 feet or the width of the slab, whichever is less and
at re-entrant corners.
It should be noted that the performance of on-site

The design pressures presented above are based on utilization of an
uncontrolled mixture of soils native to the site in backfill operations. In the
event that imported, clean granular fill soils or approved on-site clean sands
are utilized as backfill material, this firm should be contacted for possible
reduction of design pressures for level backfill, sloping backfill or restrained
wall conditions. We recommend that the structural plans indicate the type of
soil that can be used in the backfill as assumed in the structural design.
In the event that a retaining wall is to be designed for a restrained condition,
a uniform pressure equal to 8xH (eight times the total height of retained wall.
considered in pounds per square foot) shall be considered as acting every-
where on the back of the wall in addition to the design Equivalent Fluid
Weight, when utilizing an uncontrolled mixture of existing soils as backfill.
Retaining walls supporting any surcharge applied within the potential failure
block shall also be considered in the design.
10.
The passive earth pressure of the encountered natural-ground soils and
compacted fill soils (to be used for design of shallow foundations and
footings to resist the lateral forces) shall be based on an Equivalent Fluid
Weight of 300 pounds per cubic foot. This passive earth pressure shall only
be considered valid for design if the ground adjacent to the foundation
structure is essentially level for a distance of at least three times the total
depth of the foundation and is properly compacted or dense natural soil.
A Coefficient of Friction of 0.40 times the dead load may be used between
the bearing soils and concrete foundations, walls, or floor slabs.

Site Drainage Considerations
12.
Adequate measures shall be taken to properly finish-grade the site after the
structures and other improvements are in place. Drainage waters from this
site and adjacent properties are to be directed away from foundations, floor
slabs, footings, and slopes, onto the natural drainage direction for this area
or into properly designed and approved drainage facilities. Proper drains and
downspouts should be installed on all structures, with runoff directed away
from the foundations via closed drainage lines. Proper, sufficient subsurface
and surface drainage will help minimize the potential for waters to seek the
level of the bearing soils under the foundations, footings, and floor slabs.
Failure 'to observe this recommendation could result in undermining and
differential settlement of the structure or other improvements on the site.
In addition, appropriate erosion-control measures shall be taken at all time
during construction to prevent surface runoff waters from entering footing
excavations and ponding on finished building pads or pavement areas. In
addition, a swale shall be provided at the top of any retaining walls to help
prevent erosion of the soils and to quickly transport the runoff or irrigation
water.
Due to the presence of groundwater (derived primarily from rainfall and
irrigation). excess moisture is a common problem in below-grade structures
and behind retaining walls which might be proposed on this site. These
problems are generally in the form of water seepage through walls, mineral
staining, mildew growth and high humidity. In order to minimize the
potential for moisture-related problems to develop at the site, proper drainage

ventilation and water proofing must be provided for any below-ground areas
as well as in the backfill side of all structure retaining walls must be
adequately waterproofed and drained,
Proper subdrains and free draining backwall material or filter fabric shall be
installed behind all retaining walls on the subject project. The subdrains shall
outlet into approved drainage facilities. Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. will
assume no liability for damage to structures which is attributable to poor
drainage.
13.
Planter areas, flo~er beds, and planter boxes shall be sloped to drain away
from the foundations, footings, and floor slabs. Planter boxes shall be
constructed with a closed bottom and a subsurface drain, installed in gravel,
with the direction of subsurface and surface flow away from the
foundations, footings, and floor slabs, to an adequate drainage facility,
General Recommendations
Following placement of any concrete floor slabs, sufficient drying time should
be allowed prior to placement of floor coverings. Premature placement of
floor coverings could result in degradation of adhesive materials and
loosening of the finish-floor materials.
We recommend the placement of a PCC slab (at least 6 inches thick) beneath
and in front of any proposed trash enclosures. It has been our experience
that most concentrated point loads often Occur surrounding the trash

enclosures from both the trash vehicles and the wheel loads of the trash
container, resulting in damage to the asphaltic pavement.
16.
In order to minimize any work delays at the subject site during site
development, this firm should be contacted 24 hours prior to any need for
inspection of footing excavations or field density testing of compacted fill
soils. If possible, placement of form work and steel reinforcement in footing
excavations should not occur prior to observation of the excavations; in the
event that our observation reveals the need for deepening or redesigning
foundation structures at any locations, any formwork or steel reinforcement
in the affected footing excavation areas would have to be removed prior to
correction of the observed problem (i.e., deepening the footing excavation,
recompacting soil in the bottom of the excavation, etc,).
17.
Contemporary pavement section design methods require compaction of the
upper 6 inches of subgrade soils (natural ground or compacted fill) to 90
percent of Maximum Dry Density, and all base materials to at least 95
percent of Maximum Dry Density. We therefore recommend that the upper 6
inches of subgrade soils and all base materials beneath the proposed,
driveway and parking area pavements be compacted to these standards.
This recommendations also applies to the upper soils in backfilled trenches or
behind retaining walls which will support pavement sections.

operation. For preliminary grading estimates and based on public street R-
values obtained previously. we have estimated that a preliminary cross
section of at least 3 inches of asphalt concrete on 5 inches of Caltrans Class
" base may be used at the site for an R value of at least 38 and a traffic
index equal or less than 5. As indicated previously, the A-values will have to
be verified after rough-grading of the lots is completed and prior to paving.
III. GRADING NOTES
Any required grading operations shall be performed in accordance with the General
Earthwork Specifications (Appendix 8) and the requirements of the City of Encinitas
Grading Ordinance.
18.
Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. recommends that we be asked to verify the
actual soil conditions revealed during site grading work and footing
excavations to be as anticipated in this "Limited Soil Investigation and
Updated Soil-related Recommendations. " In addition, it is our
recommendation that the compaction of any fill soils placed during site
grading work be tested by a representative of our firm. It is the responsibility
of the grading contractor to comply with the requirements on the grading
plans and the local grading ordinance.
19.
It is the responsibility of the owner and/or developer to ensure that the
recommendations summarized in the report are carried out in the field
operations and that our recommendations for design of the project are
incorporated in the building and grading plans. Our firm should review the

This firm does not practice or consult in the field of safety engineering. We
do not direct the contractor's operations. and we cannot be responsible for
the safety of personnel other than our own on the site; the safety of others
is the reasonability of the contractor. The contractor should notify the owner
if he considers any of the recommended actions presented herein to be
unsafe.
IV. LIMITATIONS
Our conclusions and recommendations have been based on all available data
obtained from our field investigation and laboratory analysis, as well as our
experience with the soils and formation materials located in this area of the City of
Encinitas. Of necessity, we must assume a certain degree of continuity between
exploratory excavations and/or natural exposures. It is, therefore, necessary that
all observations, conclusions and recommendations be verified at the time grading
operations begin or when footing excavations are placed.
In the event
discrepancies are noted, additional recommendations may be issued, if required.
The work performed and recommendations presented herein are the result of an
investigation and analysis which meet the contemporary standard of care In our
profession within the San Diego County area. No warranty is provided.
This report should be considered valid for a period of two (2) years, and is subject
to review by our firm following that time. If significant modifications are made to

APPENDIX B
GENERAL EARTHWORK SPECIFICATIONS
General
The objective of these specifications is to properly establish procedures for the
clearing and preparation of the existing natural ground or properly compacted fill
to receive new fill; for the selection of the fill material; and for the fill
compaction and testing methods to be used.
Scope of Work
The earthwork includes all the activities and resources provided by the
contractor to construct in a good workmanlike manner all the grades of the filled
areas shown in the plans. The major items of work covered in this section
include all clearing and grubbing, removing and disposing of materials, preparing
areas to be filled, compacting of fill, compacting of backfills, subdrain
installations, and all other work necessary to complete the grading of the filled
areas.
Site Visit and Site Investigation
1.
-
The contractor shall visit the site and carefully study it. and make all
inspections necessary in order to determine the full extent of the work
required to complete all grading in conformance with the drawings and
specifications. The contractor shall satisfy himself as to the nature,
location, and extent of the work conditions, the conformation and
condition of the existing ground surface; and the type of equipment,
labor, and facilities needed prior to and during prosecution of the work.
The contractor shall satisfy himself as to the character, quality, and
quantity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to be
encountered. Any inaccuracies or discrepancies between the actual field
conditions and the drawings, or between the drawings and specifications,
must be brought to the engineer's attention in order to clarify the exact
nature of the work to be performed.
2.
A soils investigation report has been prepared for this project by GEL It is
available for review and should be used as a reference to the surface and
subsurface soil and bedrock conditions on this project. Any

recommendations made in the report of the soil investigation or
subsequent reports shall become an addendum to these specifications.
Authority of the Soils Engineer and Engineering Geologist
The soils engineer shall be the owner's representative to observe and test the
construction of fills. Excavation and the placing of fill shall be under the
observation of the soils engineer and his/her representative, and he/she shall
give a written opinion regarding conformance with the specifications upon
completion of grading. The soils engineer shall have the authority to cause the
removal and replacement of porous topsoils, uncompacted or improperly
compacted fills, disturbed bedrock materials, and soft alluvium, and shall have
the authority to approve or reject materials proposed for use in the compacted
fill areas.
The soils engineer shall have, in conjunction with the engineering geologist, the
authority to approve the preparation of natural ground and toe-of-fill benches to
receive fill material. The engineering geologist shall have the authority to
evaluate the stability of the existing or proposed slopes, and to evaluate the
necessity of remedial measures. If any unstable condition is being created by
cutting or filling, the engineering geologist and/or soils engineer shall advise the
contractor and owner immediately, and prohibit grading in the affected area until
such time as corrective measures are taken,
The owner shall decide all questions regarding: (1) the interpretation of the
drawings and specifications, (2) the acceptable fulfillment of the contract on the
part of the contractor, and (3) the matter of compensation.
Clearing and Grubbing
1.
Clearing and grubbing shall consist of the removal from all areas to be
graded of all surface trash, abandoned improvements, paving, culverts,
pipe, and vegetation (including -- but not limited to -- heavy weed growth,
trees, stumps, logs and roots larger than 1-inch in diameter).
2.
All organic and inorganic materials resulting from the clearing and
grubbing operations shall be collected, piled, and disposed of by the
contractor to give the cleared areas a neat and finished appearance.
Burning of combustible materials on-site shall not be permitted unless
allowed by local regulations, and at such times and in such a manner to

prevent the fire from spreading to areas adjoining the property or cleared
area.
3,
It is understood that minor amounts of organic materials may remain in
the fill soils due to the near impossibility of complete removal. The
amount remaining, however, must be considered negligible, and in no
case can be allowed to occur in concentrations or total quantities
sufficient to contribute to settlement upon decomposition.
Preparation of Areas to be Filled
1.
After clearing and grubbing, all uncompacted or improperly compacted
fills, soft or loose soils, or unsuitable materials, shall be removed to
expose competent natural ground, undisturbed bedrock, or properly
compacted fill as indicated in the soils investigation report or by our field
representative. Where the unsuitable materials are exposed in final
graded areas, they shall be removed and replaced as compacted fill.
2.
The ground surface exposed after removal of unsuitable soils shall be
scarified to a depth of at least 6 inches, brought to the specified moisture
content, and then the scarified ground compacted to at least the specified
density. Where undisturbed bedrock is exposed at the surface,
scarification and recompaction shall not be required.
3.
All areas to receive compacted fill, including al' removal areas and toe-of-
fill benches, shall be observed and approved by the soils engineer and/or
engineering geologist prior to placing compacted fill.
Where fills are made on hillsides or exposed slope areas with gradients
greater than 20 percent, horizontal benches shall be cut into firm,
undisturbed. natural ground in order to provide both lateral and vertical
stability. This is to provide a horizontal base so that each layer is placed
and compacted on a horizontal plane. The initial bench at the toe of the
fill shall be at least 10 feet in width on firm, undisturbed. natural ground
at the elevation of the toe stake placed at the bottom of the design slope.
The engineer shall determine. the width and frequency of all succeeding
benches, which will vary with the soil conditions and the steepness of the
slope. Ground slopes flatter than 20 percent (5.0: 1,0) shall be benched
when considered necessary by the soils engineer.

Fill and Backfill Material
Unless otherwise specified, the on-site material obtained from the project
excavations may be used as fill or backfill, provided that all organic material,
rubbish, debris, and other objectionable material contained therein is first
removed. In the event that expansive materials are encountered during
foundation excavations within 3 feet of finished grade and they have not been
properly processed, they shall be entirely removed or thoroughly mixed with
good, granular material before incorporating them in fills. No footing shall be
allowed to bear on soils which, in the opinion of the soils engineer, are
detrimentally expansive -- unless designed for this clayey condition.
However, rocks, boulders, broken Portland cement concrete, and bituminous-
type pavement obtained from the project excavations may be permitted in the
backfill or fill with the following limitations:
1.
The maximum dimension of any piece used in the top 10 feet shall be no
larger than 6 inches.
2
Clods or hard lumps of earth of 6 inches in greatest dimension shall be
broken up before compacting the material in fill.
3.
If the fill material originating from the project excavation contains large
rocks, boulders, or hard lumps that cannot be broken readily, pieces
ranging from 6 inches in diameter to 2 feet in maximum dimension may
be used in fills below final subgrade if all pieces are placed in such a
manner (such as windrows) as to eliminate nesting or voids between
them. No rocks over 4 feet will be allowed in the fill.
4.
Pieces larger than 6 inches shall not be placed within 12 inches of any
structure.
5.
Pieces larger than 3 inches shall not be placed within 1 2 inches of the
subgrade for paving.
6.
Rockfills containing less than 40 percent of soil passing 3/4-inch sieve
may be permitted in designated areas. Specific recommendations shall be
made by the soils engineer and be subject to approval by the city
engineer.
Continuous observation by the soils engineer is required during rock
placement.

Special and/or additional recommendations may be provided in writing by
the soils engineer to modify, clarify. or amplify these specifications.
9.
During grading operations, soil types other than those analyzed in the soil
investigation report may be encountered by the contractor. The soils
engineer shall be consulted to evaluate the suitability of these soils as fill
materials.
Placing and Compacting Fill Material
1.
After preparing the areas to be filled, the approved fill material shall be
placed in approximately horizontal layers, with lift thickness compatible to
the material being placed and the type of equipment being used. Unless
otherwise approved by the soils engineer, each layer spread for
compaction shall not exceed 8 inches of loose thickness. Adequate
drainage of the fill shall be provided at all times during the construction
period.
2.
When the moisture content of the fill material is below that specified by
the engineer, water shall be added to it until the moisture content is as
specified.
3.
When the moisture content of the fill material is above that specified by
the engineer, resulting in inadequate compaction or unstable fill, the fill
material shall be aerated by blading and sc~rifying or other satisfactory
methods until the moisture content is as specified.
4.
After each layer has been placed, mixed, and spread evenly, it shall be
thoroughly compacted to not less than the density set forth in the
specifications. Compaction shall be accomplished with sheepsfoot rollers,
multiple-wheel pneumatic-tired rollers. or other approved types of
acceptable compaction equipment. Equipment shall be of such design
that it will be able to compact the fill to the specified relative compaction.
Compaction shall cover the entire fill area, and the equipment shall make
sufficient trips to ensure that the desired density has been obtained
throughout the entire fill. At locations where it would be impractical due
to inaccessibility of rolling compacting equipment, fill layers shall be
compacted to the specified requirements by hand-directed compaction
equipment.
When soil types or combination of soil types are encountered which tend
to develop densely packed surfaces as a result of spreading or

shall be backfilled in accordance with the City or County regulating
agency specifications.
2,
Unless otherwise specified, the minimum degree of compaction shall be
90 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density.
3.
Any soft, spongy, unstable, or other similar material encountered in the
trench excavation upon which the bedding material or pipe is to be
placed, shall be removed to a depth recommended by the soils engineer
and replaced with bedding materials suitably densified.
Bedding material shall first be placed so that the pipe is supported for the
full length of the barrel with full bearing on the bottom segment. After
the needed testing of the pipe is accomplished, the bedding shall be
completed to at least 1 foot on top of the pipe. The bedding shall be
properly densified before backfill is placed. Bedding shall consist of
granular material with a sand equivalent not less than 30, or other
material approved by the engineer.
4.
No rocks greater than 6 inches in diameter will be allowed in the backfill
placed between 1 foot above the pipe and 1 foot below finished
subgrade. Rocks greater than 2,5 inches in any dimension will not be
allowed in the backfill placed within 1 foot of pavement subgrade,
5.
Material for mechanically compacted backfill shall be placed in lifts of
horizontal layers and properly moistened prior to compaction. In addition,
the layers shall have a thickness compatib1e with the material being
placed and the type of equipment being used. Each layer shall be evenly
spread, moistened or dried, and then tamped or rolled until the specified
relative compaction has been attained.
6.
Backfill shall be mechanically compacted by means of tamping rollers,
sheepsfoot rollers. pneumatic tire rollers, vibratory rollers, or other
mechanical tampers. Impact-type pavement breakers (stompers) will not
be permitted over clay, asbestos cement, plastic. cast iron, or
nonreinforced concrete pipe. Permission to use specific compaction
equipment shall not be construed as guaranteeing or implying that the use
of such equipment will not result in damage to adjacent ground, existing
improvements, or improvements installed under the contract. The
contractor shall make his/her own determination in this regard.
Jetting shall not be permitted as a compaction method unless the soils
engineer allows it in writing.

Clean granular material shall not be used as backfill or bedding in trenches
located in slope areas or within a distance of 10 feet of the top of slopes
unless provisions are made for a drainage system to mitigate the potential
buildup of seepage forces into the slope mass.
Observations and Testing
1.
The soils engineers or their representatives shall sufficiently observe and
test the grading operations so that they can state their opinion as to
whether or not the fill was constructed in accordance with the
specifications.
2.
The soils engineers or their representatives shall take sufficient density
tests during the placement of compacted fill. The contractor should
assist the soils engineer and/or his/her representative by digging test pits
for removal determinations and/or for testing compacted fill. In addition,
the contractor should cooperate with the soils engineer by removing or
shutting down equipment from the area being tested.
3,
Fill shall be tested for compliance with the recommended relative
compaction and moisture conditions. Field density testing should be
performed by using approved methods by A.S.T.M.. such as A.S.T.M.
01556, 02922, and/or 02937. Tests to evaluate density of compacted
fill should be provided on the basis of not less than one test for each 2-
foot vertical lift of the fill, but not less than one test for each 1,000 cubic
yards of fill placed. Actual test intervals may vary as field conditions
dictate. In fill slopes, approximately half of the tests shall be made at the
fill slope, except that not more than one test needs to be made for each
50 horizontal feet of slope in each 2-foot vertical lift. Actual test
intervals may vary as field conditions dictate.
4.
Fill found not to be in conformance with the grading recommendations
should be removed or otherwise handled as recommended by the soils
engineer.
Site Protection
It shall be the grading contractor's obligation to take all measures deemed
necessary during grading to maintain adequate safety measures and working
conditions, and to provide erosion-control devices for the protection of

excavated areas, slope areas, finished work on the site and adjoining properties,
from storm damage and flood hazard originating on the project. It shall be the
contractor's responsibility to maintain slopes in their as-graded form until all
slopes are in satisfactory compliance with the job specifications, all berms and
benches have been properly constructed, and all associated drainage devices
have been installed and meet the requirements of the specifications.
All observations, testing services, and approvals given by the soils engineer
and/or geologist shall not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibilities of
performing the work in accordance with these specifications.
After grading is completed and the soils engineer has finished his/her
observations and/or testing of the work, no further excavation or filling shall be
done except under his/her observations.
Adverse Weather Conditions
1.
Precautions shall be taken by the contractor during the performance of
site clearing, excavations, and grading to protect the worksite from
flooding, ponding, or inundation by poor or improper surface drainage.
Temporary provisions shall be made during the rainy season to adequately
direct surface drainage away from and off the worksite. Where low areas
cannot be avoided, pumps should be kept on hand to continually remove
water during periods of rainfall.
2,
During periods of rainfall, plastic sheeting- shall be kept reasonably
accessible to prevent unprotected slopes from becoming saturated.
Where necessary during periods of rainfall, the contractor shall install
checkdams, desilting basins, rip-rap, sandbags, or other devices or
methods necessary to control erosion and provide safe conditions.
3.
During periods of rainfall, the soils engineer should be kept informed by
the contractor as to the nature of remedial or preventative work being
performed (e.g. pumping, placement of sandbags or plastic sheeting,
other labor, dozing. etc.).
4.
Following periods of rainfall, the contractor shall contact the soils
engineer and arrange a walk-over of the site in order to visually assess
rain-related damage. The soils engineer may also recommend excavations
and testing in order to aid in his/her assessments. At the request of the
soils engineer. the contractor shall make excavations in order to evaluate
the extent of rain-related damage.

Rain-related damage shall be considered to include, but may not be limited
to, erosion, silting, saturation, swelling, structural distress, and other
adverse conditions identified by the soils engineer. Soil adversely
affected shall be classified as Unsuitable Materials, and shall be subject to
overexcavation and replacement with compacted fill or other remedial
grading, as recommended by the soils engineer.
6.
Relatively level areas, where saturated soils and/or erosion gullies exist to
depths of greater than 1.0 foot, shall be overexcavated to unaffected,
competent material. Where less than 1.0 foot in depth, unsuitable
materials may be processed in place to achieve near-optimum moisture
conditions, then thoroughly recompacted in accordance with the
applicable specifications. If the desired results are not achieved, the
affected materials shall be over-excavated. then replaced in accordance
. with the applicable specifications.
7.
In slope areas, where saturated soils and/or erosion gullies exist to depths
of greater than 1.0 foot, they shall be overexcavated and replaced as
compacted fill in accordance with the applicable specifications. Where
affected materials exist to depths of 1.0 foot or less below proposed
finished grade, remedial grading by moisture-conditioning in place,
followed by thorough recompaction in accordance with the applicable
grading guidelines herein presented may be attempted. If materials shall
be overexcavated and replaced as compacted fill, it shall be done in
accordance with the slope-repair recommendations herein. As field
conditions dictate, other slope-repair procedures may be recommended by
the soils engineer.

Where actual conditions deviate significantly from the tabulated
imperviousness values of 80% or 90%, the values given for coefficient C,
may be revised by multiplying 80% or 90% by the ratio of actual
imperviousness to the tabulated imperviousness. However, in no case shall
the final coefficient be less than 0.50. For example: Consider commercial
property on D soil.
Actual imperviousness = 50%
Tabulated imperviousness = 80%

GENERAL SITE INFORMA TION
The property, is located at the northeast quadrant of Garden View Court and
Garden View Drive, in the City of Encinitas, California, The property is bordered on
the north by similar undeveloped lots, on the south by Garden View Drive, on the
east by residential properties at a higher elevation and on the west by Garden View
Court.
.
Prior to grading, the property lots sloped gently to the southwest with a vertical
difference of approximately 5 feet between each lot mapped. Survey information
concerning actual elevations after grading was not available at the time of this
report preparation.
Existing structures on the site prior to grading included a storm drain inlet by the
southwest corner of Lot 1 5 (southernmost lot). The lots were originally rough
graded under observations and testing of our firm, as described in our report dated
January 18, 1990 (Job No, 86-4824),
The building pad has been prepared to receive the proposed building which will be a
maximum of two stories in height. It is our understanding that the building will be

Compaction was achieved by drying or wetting the soil, mixing it and rolling
it with heavy construction equipment such as a Cat 61 3 paddle-wheeled
scraper, a Cat 963 track-mounted loader, a water truck, and a 12-ton
smooth roller.
11.
Field density tests were taken at the approximate locations shown on the
plot plan (Figure No. I).
.
TESTS
Field density tests were performed in accordance with ASTM 01556. Maximum
density determinations were performed in accordance with ASTM D1557.
The
relative compaction results, as summarized on Figure No. 1/, are the ratios of the
field densities to the laboratory Maximum Dry Densities. expressed as percentages.
A soil sample was obtained from the parking lot surface soils to verify the R-value
assumed value. The R-value test result was 54. This result indicates that the
recommended section of 3 inches of asphalt on 5 inches of Caltrans Class 1/ base,
on properly compacted subgrade (90 percent of Maximum Dry Density) is adequate.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDA TIONS
The following conclusions and recommendations are based upon our analysis of all
data available from the testing of the soils compacted on this site. Our
observations of the grading operation (while in progress), our field and laboratory
testing of the typical bearing soils, and our general knowledge and experience with
the natural-ground soils and recompacted fill soils on this site were utilized in
conducting our services.
A.
General Grading
1.
The soils utilized in the grading operation were from existing on-site soils that
were removed and recompacted. The soils consisted primarily of gray-tan
and orange-brown, fine to medium silty sand. Soils of this type are
.
considered very low to low expansive as per simple visual inspection.
2.
During the grading operation, the natural-ground soils in the building pad
were exposed (where necessary), and properly prepared to receive the fill
soils, The fill soils were placed, watered, compacted, and then tested at
specific test locations, and were found to be compacted to at least 90
percent of Maximum Dry Density, in accordance with the requirements of the
City of Encinitas. The maximum depth of fill soils placed on this site at the
time of the grading operation monitored by this firm was not in excess of 1 0
feet in vertical thickness by the SW corner of the building.
3.
Any surplus, loose, stockpiled soils remaining at the property should be
removed and hauled off the site,

Grading work that needs to be completed and performed under our
observations and testing include any retaining wall backfill, trench backfill,
and finish subgrade and base preparation in the areas to receive pavement.
Foundations and Slabs On-Grade
5.
The continuous foundations and spread footings shall extend a minimum
depth of 18 inches into the firm natural ground or properly compacted fill,
and have a minimum width of 1 2 inches. The continuous foundations shall
be reinforced with at least four No.4 steel bars; two bars shall be located
near the top of the foundations and two bars 3 inches from the bottom.
6,
Prior to pouring footings and foundations, and prior to placement of floor slab
base sections, the subgrade moisture content and soil compaction should be
.
verified by our field representative 24 hours prior to concrete pouring. The
bottom of the foundation excavation should be firm, not muddy, and have
the acceptable moisture content.
7,
Concrete floor slabs shall be founded on at least 3 inches of clean sand
overlying a 6-mil visqueen, The slabs shall be reinforced with at least No.3
steel bars placed on 18-inch centers.
Any steel reinforcement should be
placed in the middle of the floor slab section,
Proper supports should be
used to keep the steel reinforcement separated from the base or soil
subgrade.
8.
It is recommended that all nonstructural concrete slabs (such as patios,
sidewalks, etc.), and all parking areas, be founded on properly compacted on-

site soils. Proper shrinkage joints (sawcuts) should be provided and spaced
no farther than 15 feet or the width of the slab, whichever is less.
The
sawcuts should be performed no later than 1 2 hours after pouring, or as
soon as the concrete is set. Sawcuts should be deepened to at least one-
quarter of the thickness of the slab. If steel reinforcement (such as 6 x 6 -
10/10 welded-wire mesh) is provided for the slabs, the control joints may be
spaced up to 1 2 feet apart.
All concrete (flatwork) slabs or rigid improvements should be built on
properly compacted and approved subgrade and/or base material.
Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. will accept no liability for damage to flatwork
or rigid improvements built on untested or unapproved subgrade or base
material.
.
Foundation Design Parameters
10.
The recommended allowable bearing value of the properly compacted fill soils
placed on the site is 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf). The recommended
allowable bearing value of the competent natural ground is 2,000 psf. This
soil-bearing value may be increased one-third for design loads that include
wind or seismic analysis, Additionally, these bearing values may be utilized
in the design of foundations and footings of the proposed structure when
founded a minimum of 1 8 inches into the firm natural ground or compacted
fill. For on-site conditions, it is expected that the maximum settlement will
not exceed 1 inch, and the maximum differential angular rotation will not
exceed 1/300. The bearing capacity of the soil may be increased up to 450

psf for every additional foot in width increase, up to a maximum of 4,500
psf.
The passive earth pressure of the encountered natural-ground soils and well-
compacted fill soils (to be used for design of building foundations and
footings to resist the lateral forces) shall be based on an Equivalent Fluid
Weight of 300 pounds per cubic foot. This passive earth pressure shall only
be considered valid for design if the ground adjacent to the foundation
structure is essentially level for a distance of at least three times the total
depth of the foundation, the soil is properly compacted fill or natural dense
material, and the concrete is poured tight against the walls of the excavation.
A Coefficient of Friction of 0.40 times the dead load may be used to
calculate the total friction force between the bearing soils and the bottom of
.
concrete wall foundations, or structure foundations, or floor slabs.
Retaining Wall Design Parameters
13.
The active earth pressure (to be utilized in design of cantilever walls, etc.)
shall be based on a Equivalent Fluid Weight of 38 pounds per cubic foot (for
level backfill only and nonexpansive or low-expansive, on-site native soils),
In the event that the cantilever retaining wall is surcharged by sloping
backfill. the design active earth pressure shall be based on the appropriate
Equivalent Fluid Weight presented in the following table:

In the event that a retaining wall is to be designed for a restrained condition,
a uniform pressure equal to 8xH (eight times the total height of retained soil,
considered in pounds per square foot) shall be considered as acting
everywhere on the back of the wall, in addition to the design Equivalent Fluid
Weight.
The design pressures presented above are based on utilization of an
uncontrolled mixture of expansive or low-expansive soil native to the site

used in backfill operations.
In the event that imported, clean, granular fill
soils or approved. on-site, clean sands are to be utilized as backfill material,
this firm should be contacted for possible reduction of design pressures due
to level backfill, sloping backfill, or restrained wall conditions.
Additional surcharge pressures to be considered in the wall design include
any loads applied within the failure block retained by the wall.

materials native to the site and utilized in compacted fills.
Although the compacted fill soils in the building pad have been verified at the
test locations to a relative compaction of 90 percent of Maximum Dry
Density or better, the compacted fill soils that occur within 5 feet of the face
of fill slopes may posses poor lateral stability. If not properly founded, the
proposed structures and associated improvements (such as walls, fences,
patios, sidewalks, driveways, asphalt paving, etc.) that are located within 5
feet of the face of compacted fill slopes could suffer differential movement
as a result of the poor lateral stability of these soils.
The foundations and footings of the proposed structures, fence posts, walls,
etc., when founded 5 feet and farther away from the top of compacted fill
.
slopes, may be of standard design in conformance with the recommended
soil value. If proposed foundations and footings are located closer than 5
feet inside the top of compacted fill slopes, they shall be deepened to at least
1.5 feet below a line beginning at a point 5 feet horizontally inside the fill
slopes, and projected outward and downward, parallel to the face of the fill
slopes (see Figure No, III).
16.
It is recommended that all compacted fill slopes and natural cut slopes be
planted with an erosion-resistant plant, in conformance with the require-
ments of the City of Encinitas.

Drainage
Adequate measures shall be taken to properly finish-grade the site after the
structure and other improvements are in place. Drainage waters from this
site and adjacent properties are to be directed away from foundations, floor
slabs, footings, and slopes, onto the natural drainage direction for this area
or into properly designed and approved drainage facilities. Roof gutters and
downspouts should be installed on all structures, and the runoff directed
away from the foundations via closed drainage lines. Proper subsurface and
surface drainage will help minimize the potential for waters to seek the level
of the bearing soils under the foundations, footings, and floor slabs. Failure
to observe this recommendation could result in uplift or undermining and
differential settlement of the structure or other improvements on the site,
.
18,
Proper subdrains shall be installed behind all retaining and restrained retaining
walls, in addition to proper waterproofing of the back of the walls. The
drainage of said subdrains shall be directed to the designed drainage for the
project or the natural drainage for the area,
19.
It should be noted that changes of surface and subsurface hydrologic
conditions, plus irrigation of landscaping or significant increases in rainfall
over the "accepted average-annual" rainfall for San Diego County in past
years, may result in the appearance of minor amounts of surface or near-
surface water at locations where none existed previously. The damage from
such water is expected to be minor and cosmetic in nature, if corrected
immediately, Corrective action should be taken on a site-specific basis if,
and when, it becomes necessary,

Planter areas and planter boxes shall be sloped to drain away from the
foundations, footings, and floor slabs.
Planter boxes shall be constructed
with a sealed bottom, and be provided a subsurface drain installed in gravel,
with the direction of subsurface and surface flow away from the
foundations, footings, and floor slabs, to an adequate drainage facility.
21.
Any backfill soils placed adjacent to excavations or close to foundations, in
utility trenches, or behind retaining walls, that support structures and other
improvements (such as patios, sidewalks, driveways, pavements, etc.), other
than landscaping in level ground, shall be compacted to at least 90 percent
of Maximum Dry Density. It is recommended that Geotechnical Exploration,
Inc. observe and test the backfill during placement.
Geotechnical Exploration, Inc, will accept no liability for damage to structures
that occurs as a result of improperly backfilled trenches or walls, or as a
result of fill soils placed without our observations and testing.
.
G.
Miscellaneous Recommendations
22.
Following placement of concrete floor slabs, sufficient drying time must be
allowed prior to placement of floor coverings. Premature placement of floor
coverings may result in degradation of adhesive materials and loosening of
the finish-floor materials,
23.
Appurtenances and/or subsurface structures that are founded in any
potentially expansive clay soils shall be properly designed by a structural
engineer and/or soils engineer.

The remaining soil work to be completed at the site (such as final preparation
of the areas to be paved, retaining wall and trench backfill and other areas to
receive concrete improvements) should be performed under our observations
and testing.

It is also recommended that all footing excavations be observed by a
representative of this firm prior to placing concrete. to verify that footings
are founded on satisfactory soils for which the recommendations expressed
in the soil investigation report remain applicable.
SUMMARY
Based on our field testing and grading observation, it is our opinion that the grading
operation for the building pad described herein, in general, was performed in
conformance with the City of Encinitas. It is to be understood that our test results
and opinion of general acceptance do not guarantee that every cubic yard of
.
compacted fill has been compacted to specification since not every cubic yard has
been observed or tested. Our test results indicate the measured compaction degree
obtained at the specific test location.
We can only attest that our tests and
observations have been made in accordance with the care and current professional
standards in our field.
All observed or tested work done during the grading operation appears, in general,
to have been performed in accordance with the soil investigation report for this site,
issued by our firm and dated May 8, 1995 (Job No. 86-4824,3),
The grading
described herein was observed and/or tested between June 26, and July 3, 1995.
