Subject: Updated Report for Testing of Compacted Backfill for Building Pad
Proposed Dodds Residence
Oliverdmin, California
Dear Mr. Dodds:
At your request, we have performed compaction testing of backfill material placed at the referenced site.
Submitted is the summary of the testing performed on the fill materials. Our engineering services
consisted of the following items:
• Testing of compacted fill materials in accordance with ASTM D -2922 and D -3017.
• Laboratory testing to evaluate maximum density in accordance with ASTM D -1557.
• Preparation of this summary.
The results of our testing are tabulated in Table I, "Compaction Test Summary". Results of the
laboratory maximum density and optimum moisture content determinations for the soils encountered are
provided in Table II, "Laboratory Test Results ".
Based on observations at the site, it appears that the remedial grading of slopes we requested earlier has
been performed. We recommend that a geologist or engineer from this office should be called upon to
verify that the footings are in material suitable for the planned construction. Footings for structures
should be designed such that the minimum horizontal distance from the face of adjacent slopes to the
outer edge of the footing is a minimum of 10 feet. The opportunity to be of service is appreciated. If you
have any questions regarding the testing conducted, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

' EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We performed this investigation to provide site - specific geotechnical information for the proposed
single- family house in Encinitas, California. This project is considered feasible if the
' recommendations presented in this report are carried out. Based on previous work at this site, soils
' consist of undocumented fills, Quaternary Colluvium, and units of the Eocene Torrey Sandstone and
Del Mar Formations. It appears that the undocumented fills were placed without engineering
' supervision. These fills are generally loose and will require removal and recompaction before
' placing additional fills or structures at this site.
Groundwater was not encountered during previous explorations. Although groundwater levels will
' likely fluctuate during periods of precipitation, groundwater is not expected to affect the proposed
' development if recommendations regarding drainage are carried out during construction.
With respect to geologic and seismic hazards, the site is considered as safe as any within the San
' Diego County area. San Diego County is an area of moderate to high seismic risk. Based on the
geologic findings and reference review no active surface faults are known to exist at the site.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
1.1 Introduction
This report presents the results of our update investigation and provides conclusions and
' geotechnical engineering criteria for the proposed development. It is our understanding that the site
is to be developed by constructing a single -story conventional, residential structure and associated
improvements (e.g., drive areas, utilities, and landscaping). Specific recommendations for
' excavations, fill placement, and foundation design for the proposed construction are presented in this
' report. The investigation for this report included field exploration, laboratory testing, geologic
' hazard evaluation, and engineering analysis. Appendix A contains a list of references cited in this
report.
' 1.2 Scope of Services
The scope of services provided included:
' Review of readily available geologic and soils reports pertinent to the site and adjacent areas
including a previous geotechnical investigation by Western Soil and Foundation
' Engineering, Inc. (hereafter Western; 1989).
• Definition of the general geology and evaluation of potential geologic hazards at the site.
• Soil engineering design criteria for the proposed improvements.
• Preparation of this summary report of the investigations performed including geotechnical
construction recommendations.
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
' The site is approximately 360 feet west of Rancho Santa Fe Road on a paved private road in the
' Olivenhain area of the City of Encinitas, California. The site is bounded on the south and east by
' CAPROJECTS\ 10- 2490 \GTP P01. WPD
' Update Geotechnical Investigation Page 3
Proposed Single Family Residence

the paved private road. Single - family homes bound the site to the west and north. Land use in the
area is generally residential. Figure 1 is an index map showing the location of the site.
' This irregularly- shaped property is at an approximate elevation at 130 feet above mean sea level.
A graded building pad occupies the majority at the site. The graded pad is elevated above the private
road at its eastern side; along the southern portion of the site the private road's elevation increases
' until it is generally level with the site. Approximately 2:1 (horizontal: vertical) slopes descend from
' the graded pad to the private road along its eastern boundary and to a single - family residence to the
' northeast. A similar ascending slope separates the graded pad from the single - family residence west
of the site. The height of these slopes ranges from approximately five to 15 feet.
' 3.0 INVESTIGATIONS
A reconnaissance of the site was conducted on October 1, 1997 to assess its condition. Subsurface
' explorations were previously carried out for this site by Western (1989). Western excavated several
' test pits on this site and the adjacent site. Copies of their test pit logs are included in Appendix B.

4.2 Geologic Conditions
' Based on mapping by Tan and Kennedy (1996) surface soils at the site consist of units of the Eocene
Del Mar Formation. However, based on Western's work at this site (1989), surface soils consist of
' undocumented fills, Quaternary Colluvium, and units of the Eocene Torrey Sandstone and Del Mar
' Formations. The nature of the basement rocks underlying the Eocene -age materials is unknown.
Figure 2 is a copy of the geologic map of the site area.
4.2.1 Undocumented Fills
Undocumented fills were apparently observed to a maximum depth of approximately 11 feet
' w during previous site work. These fills consisted generally of moist sand
Belo grade (fbg) g p g y y
' clay and silty clay with asphalt and other debris. Apparently these fills were placed without
' engineering supervision and are generally loose. We recommend that these materials be
excavated and removed before placing fills or structures at the site.
' 4.2.2 Quaternary Colluvium
Quaternary Colluvium apparently consisted of loose to medium dense silty fine sands.
' However uatern Colluvium materials were not encountered in all previous excavations.

' 4.2.3 Eocene Torrey Sandstone and Del Mar Formations
' Eocene -aged materials consist of siltstones and sandstones. Apparently these materials are
dense to very dense.
4.3 Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater was not encountered in previous explorations to the maximum explored depth of
' approximately 13.5 fbg. (Western, 1989).
4.4 Geologic Hazards
4.4.1 General Geologic Hazards Observation
' From our observations and previous investigations it appears that geologic hazards at the
' site are primarily limited to those caused by violent shaking from earthquake generated
ground motion waves. The potential for damage from displacement or fault movement
' beneath the proposed structures should be considered low.
' 4.4.2 Local and Regional Faulting
Based on our site reconnaissance, evidence from our explorations, and a review of
' appropriate geologic literature, it is our opinion that the site is not on known fault traces.
' Additionally, the site is not within a State -of- California designated Fault- Rupture Hazard
Zone. The Rose Canyon Fault, approximately six miles to the west, is the closest known

active fault (Jennings, 1987). Other principal active regional faults include the Coronado
' Banks, San Clemente, Elsinore, San Jacinto, and San Andreas faults.
According to the California Division of Mines and Geology, a fault is active if it displays
evidence of activity in the last 11,000 years (Hart, 1994). Table 1 is a summary, including
the seismic characteristics, of the principal regional faults considered most likely to rupture
and ossibl induce strong round shaking at the site during the useful life of the proposed

construction. Estimated probable earthquake magnitudes are from California Division of
' Mines and Geology Website (January 14, 1997) except the San Clemente Fault (from
Greensfelder, 1974).

' 4.4.3 Earthquake Accelerations
We have analyzed the possible bedrock accelerations at the site using procedures outlined
in Ploessel and Slosson (1974). For the intended use, it is our opinion that the most
significant seismic events would be 6.9 moment magnitude earthquakes on the Rose Canyon
' Fault. These events could produce estimated peak bedrock accelerations of 0.52g and
repeatable high ground accelerations of 0.34g.
' 4.4.4 Liquefaction Evaluation
' Liquefaction occurs when saturated fine- grained sands or silts lose their physical strengths
during earthquake induced shaking and behave as a liquid. This is due to loss of
' point -to -point grain contact and transfer of normal stress to the pore water. Liquefaction
' potential varies with water level, soil type, material gradation, relative density, and probable
intensity and duration of ground shaking.
' Because of the generally dense to very dense and fine- grained nature of the Eocene -age soils,
and the apparent lack of a shallow groundwater table, it is our opinion that the potential for
'
liquefaction should be considered low in all areas of the project. Additionally, we anticipate
q P J Y� P
' that loose soil materials will be mitigated during grading operations at this site.

' 4.4.5 Seismic Settlement Evaluation
t Seismic settlement occurs when loose to medium dense granular soils densify during seismic
events. The underlying Eocene -aged materials were generally dense to locally very dense
' and are not considered likely to experience significant seismic settlement. Therefore, in our
' opinion, the potential for seismic settlement resulting in damage to site improvements should
be considered low. Additionally, we anticipate that loose soil materials will be mitigated
' during grading operations at this site.
' 4.4.6 Tsunamis and Seiche Evaluation
The site is not near any significant bodies of water that could induce seiche (oscillatory
waves) damage. Additionally, the potential for tsunami damage at the site is considered low
due to the site's elevation ( approximately 130 feet above msl) and distance from the ocean
(approximately four miles).
' 4.4.7 Landsliding or Rocksliding
The potential for landsliding or rocksliding to affect the site is considered remote. Active
' landslides were not encountered and have not been mapped in the immediate area of the site
' (Tan and Kennedy, 1996).

' 4.4.8 Compressible and Expansive Soils
' Based on geologic observation the Quaternary Colluvium soil materials exhibit moderate
compressibility characteristics and the Eocene Torrey Sandstone and Del Mar Formations
' materials exhibit low compressibility characteristics. These materials are considered
suitable for the proposed structure. As indicated we expect that loose soils will be mitigated
during grading of the site.
' Based on previous laboratory testing fill soils are moderately expansive. Clayey Quaternary
Colluvium materials should also be considered moderately expansive. However, the Eocene
materials should not generally be considered expansive.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 General
We conclude that the proposed construction on the site is feasible from a geotechmcal standpoint,
' provided the recommendations in this report are incorporated into the design of the project.
Recommendations for the design and construction of the proposed structure are included below.
' 5.2 Grading and Earthwork
Upon commencement of construction, Construction Testing and Engineering, Inc. should
continuously observe the grading and earthwork operations for this project. Such observations are
' CAPROJECTS\ 10- 2490 \GTRPO I . W PD
' Update Geotechnical Investigation Page 10
Proposed Single Family Residence
Encinitas, California
' October 6, 1997 CTE Job No. 10 -2490
' essential to identify field conditions that differ from those predicted by this investigation, to adjust
' designs to actual field conditions, and to ensure that the grading is in overall accordance with the
recommendations of this report. Our personnel should perform adequate observation and sufficient
' testing of fills during grading to support the Geotechnical Consultant's professional opinion
regarding compliance with compaction requirements and specifications contained herein. Appendix
contains standard grading specifications.
5.3 Site Preparation
' Before grading, the site should be cleared of any existing debris and other deleterious materials.
Expansive, surficial eroded, desiccated, burrowed, or otherwise disturbed soils should be removed
' to the depth of the competent formational soils. Based on previous work (Western, 1989) removals
' of up to 11.5 fbg may be expected. Organic materials not suitable for structural backfill should be
disposed of off -site or placed in non - structural planter or landscape areas. Following removal of
' unsuitable soil, the exposed surface should be scarified to a depth of nine inches, moisture
' conditioned and compacted, before placement of fills.
5.4 Site Excavation
Excavations in site materials should be feasible with heavy -duty construction equipment under
normal conditions. Irreducible materials greater than six inches encountered during excavations
should not be used in fills on the site. Where site grading and required removals create transitional

' bearing conditions, overexcavation of cut areas to a minimum depth of three feet below finish pad
' grades is recommended. Any such overexcavations should extend five feet laterally beyond
proposed improvement limits. Figure 3 shows procedures to be followed for benching fills over
' native soil materials.
' 5.5 Fill Placement and Compaction
' The geotechnical consultant should verify that the proper site preparation has occurred before fill
placement occurs. As indicated, areas to receive fills should be scarified to a depth of nine inches,
' moisture conditioned and ro erl compacted. Fill and backfill
p p y p should be compacted to a minimum
' relative compaction of 90 percent as evaluated by ASTM D1557 at a moisture content between
' optimum and 4 percent above optimum. The optimum lift thickness for backfill soil will be
dependent on the type of compaction equipment used. Generally, backfill should be placed in
uniform lifts not exceeding 8- inches in loose thickness. Backfill placement and compaction should
be done in overall conformance with geotechnical recommendations and local ordinances.
' 5.6 Fill Materials
Moderately expansive materials derived from the onsite soils are considered suitable for reuse on
the site as compacted fill. If used, these materials must be screened of organic materials and

materials greater than six inches in a maximum dimension. If encountered, clayey native soils may
be blended with granular soils and reused in non - structural fill areas.
' Imported fill beneath structures, pavements and walks should have an expansion index less than or
' equal to 50 with less than 35 percent passing the no. 200 sieve. Imported fill soils for use in
structural or slope areas should be evaluated by the soil engineer to decide strength characteristics
' before placement on the site.
5.7 Temporary Construction Slopes
'
Sloping recommendations for unshored temporary excavations are provided. The recommended
P g P �' p
' slopes should be relatively stable against deep- seated failure, but may experience localized
' sloughing. Site soils are considered Type A and C soils. Recommended slope ratios are set forth
in Table 2 below.

C (Fills/Quaternary Colluvium) 1.5:1 10 feet
Actual field conditions and soil type designations must be verified by a "competent person" while
' excavations exist according to Cal -OSHA regulations. Also, the above sloping recommendations

' do not allow for surcharge loading at the top of slopes by vehicular traffic, equipment or materials.
Appropriate surcharge setbacks must be maintained from the top of all unshored slopes.
' 5.8 Foundations and Slab Recommendations
The following recommendations are for preliminary planning purposes only. Based on the low to
moderate expansion potential of on -site soils, recommended foundations consist of reinforced
footings and concrete slabs -on -grade or post- tension systems. Recommendations provided below
' are for standard reinforced footings and concrete slabs -on- grade. If post- tension foundation systems
are selected, additional recommendations will be provided. Foundation recommendations should be
' reviewed after completion of earthwork and soil . testin

' 5.8.1 Foundations
Continuous and isolated spread footings are suitable for use at this site. However, footings
should not straddle cut/fill interfaces; we anticipate all building footings will be founded
' entirely in a recompacted fill or entirely in native Eocene -aged materials.
' Foundation dimensions and reinforcement should o d be based on allowable bearing values of
' 2000 pounds per square foot (psf) for footings bearing on compacted fills or 3000 psf for
footings bearing on Eocene -aged materials. The allowable bearing value may be increased
by one third for short duration loading which includes the effects of wind or seismic forces.

Encinitas, California
October 6, 1997 CTE Job No. 10 -2490
Footings should be at least 12 inches wide and installed at least 18 inches below the lowest
adjacent subgrade. Minimum reinforcement for continuous footings should consist of four
#4 reinforcing bars; two placed near the top and two placed near the bottom. Isolated
' footing reinforcement should be designed by the project structural engineer. The structural
' engineer should also provide recommendations for reinforcement of any deepened spread
footings and footings with pipe penetrations.
5.8.2 Foundation Settlement
The potential for foundation settlement should be analyzed once actual foundation loads and
' final as-graded conditions are known. In general, f
g g or the anticipated residential construction,
maximum total and differential settlement are expected to be on the order of 1 inch and
' inch.
5.8.3 Foundation Setback
' Footings for structures should be designed such that the minimum horizontal distance from
the face of adjacent slopes to the outer edge of the footing is a minimum of 10 feet.
5.8.4 Interior Concrete Slabs
' Lightly loaded concrete slabs should be a minimum of 4 inches thick. Minimum slab
reinforcement should consist of #3 reinforcing bars or # 4 reinforcing bars placed on 18 -inch

' or 24 -inch centers, respectively, each way at mid -slab height. A vapor barrier of ten mil
visqueen overlying a three -inch layer of compacted clean sand or gravel should be installed
beneath all slab areas. At a minimum, a one inch layer of clean coarse sand should be placed
' above the visqueen to protect the membrane during steel and concrete placement.
5.9 Lateral Resistance and Earth Pressures
The following recommendations may be used for shallow footings on the site. Foundations may be
designed using a coefficient of friction
of 0.35 total frictional resistance equals coefficient g g ( fficient of
' q
' friction times the dead load). A design passive resistance value of 250 pounds per square foot per
foot of depth (with a maximum value of 1200 pounds per square foot) may be used. The allowable
' lateral resistance can be taken as the sum of the frictional resistance and the passive resistance,
' provided the passive resistance does not exceed two - thirds of the total allowable resistance.
' Retaining walls up to ten feet high and backfilled using generally granular soils may be designed
' using the equivalent fluid weights given in Table 3 below.

' The above values assume non - expansive backfill and free draining conditions. Measures should be
taken to prevent a moisture buildup behind all retaining walls. Drainage measures should include
' free draining fill g bac fi 1 materials and perforated drains. Figure 4 is a recommended gravel and
' perforated pipe drainage system. These drains should discharge to an appropriate offsite location.
5.10 Exterior Flatwork
To reduce the potential for distress to exterior flatwork caused by minor settlement of foundation
' soils, we recommend that such flatwork be installed with crack - control joints at appropriate spacings
as designed by the project architect. Additionally, we recommend that flatwork be installed with
t reinforcement similar to that outlined in Section 5.8.4 above for interior concrete slabs i.e. 43
reinforcing bars or # 4 reinforcing bars placed on 18 -inch or 24 -inch centers each way.
Flatwork, which should be installed with crack control joints, includes driveways, sidewalks, and
' architectural features. All subgrades should be prepared according to the earthwork
' recommendations previously given before placing concrete. Positive drainage should be established
and maintained next to all flatwork.
' 5.11 Drainage
Surface runoff should be collected and directed away from improvements by means of appropriate
erosion reducing devices and positive drainage should be established around the proposed

improvements. Positive drainage is drainage away from improvements at a gradient of at least two
percent for a distance of at least five feet. The project civil engineers should evaluate the on -site
drainage and make necessary provisions to keep surface water from affecting the site.
g �'P p g
' 5.12 Slopes
Based on anticipated soil strength characteristics, if fill slopes should be constructed at this site a
' slope ratio of 2:1 (horizontal: vertical) or flatter should be used. These fill slope inclinations should
' exhibit factors of safety greater than 1.5.
Runoff water should not be permitted to drain over the edges of slopes unless that water is confined
' to properly designed and constructed drainage facilities. Erosion resistant vegetation should be
' maintained on the face of all slopes.
' Typically soils along the top portion of a fill slope face will tend to creep laterally. Distress sensitive
hard scape improvements should not be constructed within five feet of slope crests in fill areas.
' 5.13 Asphalt Pavements
' Preliminary pavement sections presented below are based on a Resistance "R" Value testing of
surficial materials. The asphalt pavement design is based on California Department of
'
Transportation Highway Manual and on an assumed traffic index as indicated in Table 4 el

STANDARD GRADING SPECIFICATIONS
' APPENDIX D Page D -1
Standard Specifications for Grading Projects
' Section 1 - General
1 The guidelines contained herein and the standard details attached represent Construction Testing &
Engineering's standard recommendations for grading and other associated operations on construction
projects. These guidelines should be considered part of the project specifications.
' Recommendations contained in the body of the previously presented soils report will supersede the
recommendations and/or requirements as specified herein. Disputes arising out of interpretation of
the recommendations contained in the soils report or specifications contained herein will be
interpreted by the project geotechnical consultant.
Section 2 - Responsibilities of Project Personnel
' The geotechnical consultant should provide observation and testing services sufficient to assure that
geotechnical construction is performed in general conformance with project specifications and
' standard grading practices. The geotechnical consultant should report any deviations to the client
or his authorized representative.
t The Client should be chiefly responsible for all aspects of the project. He or his authorized
representative has the responsibility of reviewing the findings and recommendations of the
' geotechnical consultant. He will authorize or cause to have authorized the Contractor and/or other
consultants to perform work and/or provide services. During grading the Client or his authorized
representative should remain on -site or should remain reasonably accessible to all concerned parties
' to make decisions necessary to maintain the flow of the project.
The Contractor should be responsible for the safety of the project and satisfactory completion of all
' grading and other associated operations on construction projects, including, but not limited to, earth
work according to the project plans, specifications and controlling agency requirements.
Section 3 - Preconstruction Meeting
A preconstruction site meeting will be arranged by the owner and/or client and will include the
grading contractor, the design engineer, the geotechnical consultant, owner's representative and
representatives of the appropriate governing authorities.
' Section 4 - Site Preparation
' The client or contractor should obtain the required approvals from the controlling authorities for the
project prior, during and /or after demolition, site preparation and removals, etc. The appropriate
approvals should be obtained before proceeding with grading operations.
' Clearing and grubbing should consist of the removal of vegetation such as brush, grass, woods,
stumps, trees, root of trees and otherwise deleterious natural materials from the areas to be graded.
' Clearing and grubbing should extend outside all proposed excavation and fill areas.
' C APROJ ECTS\ 10 -? 490 \GTRPO I . W PD
' APPENDIX D Page D -2
Standard Specifications for Grading Projects
' Demolition should include removal of buildings, structures, foundations, reservoirs, utilities
(including underground pipelines, septic tanks, leach fields, seepage pits, cisterns, mining shafts,
' tunnels, etc.) and other manmade surface and subsurface improvements from the areas to be graded.
Demolition of utilities should include proper capping and/or rerouting pipelines at the project
perimeter and cutoff and capping of wells according to the requirements of the governing authorities
' and the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant at the time of demolition.
Trees, plants or manmade improvements not planned to be removed or demolished should be
protected by the contractor from damage or injury.
Debris generated during clearing, grubbing and /or demolition operations should be wasted from
areas to be graded and disposed off -site. Clearing, grubbing and demolition operations should be
performed under the observation of the geotechnical consultant.
' Section 5 - Site Protection
Protection of the site during grading should be the responsibility of the contractor. Unless other
' provisions are made in writing and agreed upon among the concerned parties, completion of part of
the project should not be considered to preclude that portion or adjacent areas from the requirements
for site protection until the entire project is complete as identified by the geotechnical consultant,
the client and the regulating agencies.
' Precautions should be taken during the performance of site clearing, excavations and grading to
protect the work site from flooding, ponding or inundation by poor or improper surface drainage.
Temporary provisions should be made during the rainy season to adequately direct surface drainage
' away from and off the work site. Where low areas cannot be avoided, pumps should be kept on hand
to continually remove water during periods of rainfall.
Rain related damage should be considered to include, but may not be limited to, erosion, silting,
saturation, swelling, structural distress and other adverse conditions as determined by the
geotechnical consultant. Soil adversely affected should be classified as unsuitable materials and
I' should be subject to overexcavation and replacement with compacted fill or other remedial grading
as recommended by the geotechnical consultant.
The contractor should be responsible for the stability of all temporary excavations.
Recommendations by the geotechnical consultant about temporary excavations (e.g., backcuts) are
' made in consideration of stability of the completed project and, therefore, should not be considered
to preclude the responsibilities of the contractor. Recommendations by the geotechnical consultant
should not be considered to preclude more restrictive requirements by the regulating agencies. The
' contractor should provide during periods of extensive rainfall plastic sheeting to prevent unprotected
slopes from becoming saturated and unstable. When deemed appropriate by the geotechnical
consultant or governing agencies the contractor will install checkdams, desilting basins, sand bags
' or other drainage control measures.

' APPENDIX D Page D -3
Standard Specifications for Grading Projects
' In relatively level areas and/or slope areas, where saturated soil and/or erosion gullies exist to depths
of greater than 1.0 feet, they should be overexcavated and replaced as compacted fill according to
the applicable specifications. Where affected materials exist to depths of 1.0 foot or less below
' proposed finished grades, remedial grading by moisture conditioning in- place, followed by thorough
recompaction according to the applicable grading guidelines herein may be attempted. If the desired
results are not achieved, all affected materials should be overexcavated and replaced as compacted
fill according to the slope repair recommendations herein. If field conditions dictate, other slope
repair procedures may be recommended by the geotechnical consultant.
' Section 6 - Excavations
' 6.1 Unsuitable Materials
Materials that are unsuitable should be excavated under observation and recommendations
' of the geotechnical consultant. Unsuitable materials include, but may not be limited to, dry,
loose, soft, wet, organic compressible natural soils and fractured, weathered, soft bedrock
and non - engineered or otherwise deleterious fill materials.
' Material identified by the geotechnical consultant as unsatisfactory due to its moisture
conditions should be overexcavated, moisture conditioned as needed, to a uniform at or
' above optimum moisture condition before placement as compacted fill.
1 If during grading adverse geotechnical conditions are exposed which were not anticipated
in the preliminary soils report as determined by the geotechnical consultant additional
exploration, analyzation and treatment of these problems may be recommended.
6.2 Cut Slopes
' Unless otherwise recommended by the geotechnical consultant and approved by the
regulating agencies, permanent cut slopes should not be steeper than 2:1 (horizontal:
vertical).
The geotechnical consultant should observe cut slope excavation and if these excavations
expose loose, cohesionless, significantly fractured or otherwise unsuitable material, the
materials should be overexcavated and replaced with a compacted stabilization fill. If
encountered specific cross - section details should be obtained from the Geotechnical
Consultant.
When extensive cut slopes are excavated or these cut slopes are made in the direction of the
' prevailing drainage, a non - erodible diversion swale (brow ditch) should be provided at the
top of the slope.

Standard Specifications for Grading Projects
' 6.3 Pad Areas
All lot pad areas, including side yard terrace containing both cut and fill materials,
transitions, less than 3 feet deep should be overexcavated to a depth of 3 feet and replaced
with a uniform compacted fill blanket of 3 feet. Actual depth of overexcavation may vary
and should be delineated by the geotechnical consultant during grading.
For pad areas created above cut or natural slopes, positive drainage should be established
away from the top -of- slope. This may be accomplished utilizing a berm drainage swale
and/or an appropriate pad gradient. A gradient in soil areas away from the top -of- slopes of
2 percent or greater is recommended.
Section 7 - Compacted Fill
All fill materials should have fill quality, placement, conditioning and compaction as specified below
or as approved by the geotechnical consultant.
' 7.1 Fill Material Quality
' Excavated on -site or import materials that are acceptable to the geotechnical consultant may
be used as compacted fill, provided trash, vegetation and other deleterious materials are
removed before placement. All import materials anticipated for use on -site should be
sampled tested and approved before and placement is in conformance with the requirements
outlined.
Rocks 12 inches in maximum and smaller may be used within compacted fills provided
sufficient fill material is placed and thoroughly compacted over and around all rock to fill
rock voids effectively. Rock should not exceed 40 percent by dry weight passing the 3/4
inch sieve. The geotechnical consultant may vary those requirements as field conditions
dictate.
Where rocks greater than 12 inches but less than four feet of maximum dimension are
generated during grading, or otherwise desired to be placed within an engineered fill, special
' handling according to attached Plates and described below. Rocks greater than four feet
should be broken down or disposed off -site.
' 7.2 Placement of Fill
Before placement of fill material the geotechnical consultant should inspect the area to
receive fills. After inspection and approval the exposed ground surface should be scarified
to a depth of six to 8 inches. The scarified material should be conditioned (i.e., moisture
' added or air dried by continued discing) to achieve a moisture content at or slightly above
C:\PROJECTS\ 10-- 2390 \GTRP01. W PD
APPENDIX D Page D -5
Standard Specifications for Grading Projects
optimum moisture conditions and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of the maximum
density or as otherwise recommended in the soils report or by appropriate government
agencies.
'
Compacted fills should then be laced in thin horizontal lifts not exceeding eight inches in
P P g g
loose thickness before compaction. Each lift should be moisture conditioned as needed,
thoroughly blended to achieve a consistent moisture content at or slightly above optimum
and thoroughly compacted by mechanical methods to a minimum of 90 percent of laboratory
maximum dry density. Each lift should be treated in a like manner until the desired finished
grades are achieved.
The contractor should have suitable and sufficient mechanical compaction equipment and
watering apparatus on the job site to handle the amount of fill being placed in consideration
of moisture retention properties of the materials and weather conditions.
' When placing fills in horizontal lifts next to areas sloping steeper than 5:1 (horizontal:
vertical), horizontal keys and vertical benches should be excavated into the adjacent slope
area. Keying and benching should be sufficient to provide at least six -foot wide benches and
a minimum of four feet of vertical bench height within the firm natural ground, firm bedrock
or engineered compacted fill. No compacted fill should be placed in an area after keying and
i benching until the area has been reviewed by the geotechnical consultant. Material generated
by the benching operation should be moved sufficiently away from the bench area to allow
for the recommended review of the horizontal bench before placement of fills
Within a single fill area where grading procedures dictate two or more separate fills,
' temporary slopes (false slopes) may be created. When placing fill adjacent to a false slope,
benching should be conducted in the same manner as above described. At least a 3 -foot
vertical bench should be established within the firm core of adjacent approved compacted
fill before placement of additional fill. Benching should proceed in at least 3 -foot vertical
increments until the desired finished grades are achieved.
Before placement of additional compacted fill following an overnight or other grading delay,
the exposed surface or previously compacted fill should be processed by scarification,
moisture conditioning as needed to at or slightly above optimum moisture content,
' thoroughly blended and recompacted to a minimum of 90 percent of laboratory maximum
dry density. Where unsuitable materials exist to depths of greater than one foot, the
' unsuitable materials should be overexcavated.
Following a period of flooding, rainfall or over - watering by other means, no additional fill
should be placed until damage assessments have been made and remedial grading performed
' as described herein.
C A PROJ ECTS\ l 0- 2490 \GTRPO I. W PD
' APPENDIX D Page D -6
Standard Specifications for Grading Projects
Rocks 12 inches in maximum dimension and smaller may be used in the compacted fill
provided the fill is placed and thoroughly compacted over and around all rock. No oversize
material should be used within 3 feet of finished pad grade and within 1 foot of other
' compacted fill areas. Rocks 12 inches up to four feet maximum dimensions should be placed
below the upper 5 feet of any fill and should not be closer than 11 feet to any slope face.
These recommendations could vary as locations of improvements dictate. Where practical,
oversized material should not be placed below areas where structures or deep utilities are
proposed. Oversized material should be placed in windrows on a clean, overexcavated or
unyielding compacted fill or firm natural ground surface. Select native or imported granular
soil (S.E. 30 or higher) should be placed and thoroughly flooded over and around all
windrowed rock, such that voids are filled. Windrows of oversized material should be
staggered so that successive strata of oversized material are not in the same vertical plane.
It may be possible to dispose of individual larger rock as field conditions dictate and as
' recommended by the geotechnical consultant at the time of placement.
The contractor should assist the geotechnical consultant and/or his representative by digging
test pits for removal determinations and/or for testing compacted fill. The contractor should
provide this work at no additional cost to the owner or contractor's client.
Fill should be tested by the geotechnical consultant for compliance with the recommended
relative compaction and moisture conditions. Field density testing should conform to ASTM
' Method of Test D 1556 -82, D 2922 -81. Tests should be conducted at a minimum of two
vertical feet or 1,000 cubic yards of fill placed. Actual test intervals may vary as field
conditions dictate. Fill found not to be in conformance with the grading recommendations
' should be removed or otherwise handled as recommended by the geotechnical consultant.
7.3 Fill Slopes
Unless otherwise recommended by the geotechnical consultant and approved by the
' regulating agencies, permanent fill slopes should not be steeper than 2:1 (horizontal:
vertical).
Except as specifically recommended in these grading guidelines compacted fill slopes should
be overbuilt and cut back to grade, exposing the firm, compacted fill inner core. The actual
amount of overbuilding may vary as field conditions dictate. If the desired results are not
achieved, the existing slopes should be overexcavated and reconstructed under the guidelines
of the geotechnical consultant. The degree of overbuilding will be increased until the desired
' compacted slope surface condition is achieved. Care should be taken by the contractor to
provide thorough mechanical compaction to the outer edge of the overbuilt slope surface.
C:`,PROJECTS\ 10- 2490 \GTRP01. W PD
APPENDIX D Page D -7
Standard Specifications for Grading Projects
At the discretion of the geotechnical consultant, slope face compaction may be attempted by
conventional construction procedures including backrolling. The procedure must create a
firmly compacted material throughout the entire depth of the slope face to the surface of the
' previously compacted firm fill intercore.
During grading operations care should be taken to extend compactive effort to the outer edge
' of the slope. Each lift should extend horizontally to the desired finished slope surface or
more as needed to ultimately established desired grades. Grade during construction should
not be allowed to roll off at the edge of the slope. It may be helpful to elevate slightly the
outer edge of the slope. Slough resulting from the placement of individual lifts should not
be allowed to drift down over previous lifts. At intervals not exceeding four feet in vertical
' slope height or the capability of available equipment, whichever is less, fill slopes should be
thoroughly dozer trackrolled.
For pad areas above fill slopes, positive drainage should be established away from the
top -of- slope. This may be accomplished utilizing a berm and pad gradients of at least 2
percent.
' Section 8 - Trench Backfill
Utility and/or other excavation of trench backfill should, unless otherwise recommended, be
compacted by mechanical means. Unless otherwise recommended, the degree of compaction should
be a minimum of 90 percent of the laboratory maximum density.
Within slab areas, but outside the influence of foundations, trenches up to one foot wide and two feet
deep may be backfilled with sand and consolidated by jetting, flooding or by mechanical means. If
on -site materials are utilized, they should be wheel - rolled, tamped or otherwise compacted to a firm
condition. For minor interior trenches, density testing may be deleted or spot testing may be elected
' if deemed necessary, based on review of backfill operations during construction.
It utility contractors indicate that it is undesirable to use compaction equipment in close proximity
' to a buried conduit. the contractor may elect the utilization of light weight mechanical compaction
equipment and/or shading of the conduit with clean, granular material, which should be thoroughly
jetted in -place above the conduit, prior to initiating mechanical compaction procedures. Other
methods of utility trench compaction may also be appropriate, upon review of the geotechnical
' consultant at the time of construction.
In cases where clean g ranular materials are proposed for use in lieu of native materials or where
P
flooding or jetting is proposed, the procedures should be considered subject to review by the
geotechnical consultant. Clean granular backfill and/or bedding are not recommended in slope areas.

' Section 9 - Drainage
Where deemed appropriate by the geotechnical consultant, canyon subdrain systems should be
' installed in accordance.
Typical subdrains for compacted fill buttresses, slope stabilization or sidehill masses, should be
installed in accordance with the specifications of the accompanying attached plates.
' Roof, pad and slope drainage should be directed away from slopes and areas of structures to suitable
disposal areas via non - erodible devices (i.e., gutters, downspouts, concrete swales) as shown in the
attached plates.
' For drainage in extensively landscaped areas near structures, (i.e., within four feet) a minimum of
5 percent gradient away from the structure should be maintained. Pad drainage of at least 2 percent
should be maintained over the remainder of the site.
Drainage patterns established at the time of fine grading should be maintained throughout the life
' of the project. Property owners should be made aware that altering drainage patterns can be
detrimental to slope stability and foundation performance.
' Section 10 - Slope Maintenance
' 10.1 - Landscape Plants
In order to enhance surficial slope stability, slope planting should be accomplished at the
' completion of grading. Slope planting should consist of deep- rooting vegetation requiring
little watering. Plants native to the southern California area and plants relative to native
plants are generally desirable. Plants native to other semi -arid and and areas may also be
appropriate. A Landscape Architect should be the best party to consult regarding actual
types of plants and planting configuration.
10.2 - Irri ation
Irrigation pipes should be anchored to slope faces, not placed in trenches excavated into
slope faces.
Slope irrigation should be minimized. If automatic timing devices are utilized on irrigation
systems, provisions should be made for interrupting normal irrigation during periods of
' rainfall.
10.3 - Repair
C AP RO1 ECTS\ 10- 2490 \GTRP91. W PD
' APPENDIX D Page D -9
Standard Specifications for Grading Projects
' As a precautionary measure, plastic sheeting should be readily available, or kept on hand,
to protect all slope areas from saturation by periods of heavy or prolonged rainfall. This
measure is strongly recommended, beginning with the period of time prior to landscape
' planting.
If slope failures occur, the geotechnical consultant should be contacted for a field review of
site conditions and development of recommendations for evaluation and repair.
' If slope failures occur as a result of exposure to period of heavy rainfall, the failure areas and
currently unaffected areas should be covered with plastic sheeting to protect against
additional saturation.
' In the accompanying Standard Details, appropriate repair procedures are illustrated for
superficial slope failures (i.e., occurring typically within the outer one foot to three feet of
' a slope face).
