REPORT OF
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
1009 HURSTDALE AVENUE
ENCINITAS, CALIFORNIA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation for repairs to the failed slope at
1009 Hurstdale Avenue, Encinitas, California. The location of the site is presented on the following
Site Location Map, Figure 1. The purpose of this investigation was to provide geotechnical design
parameters for slope repairs, retaining walls, deck foundations, and geotechnical recommendations
for conducting the earthwork at the site. The conclusions and recommendations presented in this
report are based on our field exploration, laboratory testing, our experience with similar soils and
geologic conditions.
This investigation was authorized by Ms. Mary P. Wonner. The scope of services provided during
this investigation were consistent with those outlined in our Proposal No. 8-057 dated March 11,
1998.
2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
To evaluate subsurface geotechnical conditions and geotechnical design parameters for the proposed
slope repairs, and to provide geotechnical design criteria and recommendations, the following
services were performed:
.
Geologic reconnaissance of the subject site.
.
Subsurface exploration consisting of 2 borings drilled to a depth of about 11 feet below
current grades. Each boring was logged by our field engineer and then backfilled upon
completion. Samples of the soils encountered in the borings were collected for laboratory
testing. The approximate boring locations are shown on the attached Site Cross Section,
Figure 2.
.
Laboratory testing of selected soil samples retrieved during the subsurface exploration. The
testing included in-situ moisture content/dry density, maximum dry density and optimum

3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
The project site is located on the south side of the cul-de-sac at the west end of Hurst dale Avenue,
west of Freda Lane in Encinitas. Existing single family residences border the site on the east and
west. A natural drainage is located to the south of the property. The site is currently occupied by
a single story residence. The site is relatively level in the location of the existing residence, but
slopes downward steeply behind the back patio area. The upper portions of the slope are terraced
by a series of three 2-foot high timber landscaping walls and a concrete masonry unit (cmu)
retaining wall about four feet high. Details on the construction of the wall are not known. The
terraced slope above the cmu retaining wall appears to have a slope of about 1 Y2: 1 (horizontal to
vertical). The slope below the cmu wall has failed, resulting in movement and cracking of the cmu
wall in two locations. Based on a field survey line across the back of the property, elevations across
the site drop about 40 feet ttom the back of the patio to the back of the property. The slope behind
the cmu retaining wall is estimated to have had a slope prior to failure of about 1 Y2: 1, flattening to
a slope of about 3: 1 near the south portion of the site.
4.0 SLOPE DISTRESS
Based on our examination of the site, a portion of the existing slope about 15 to 20 feet wide and
50 feet long has experienced a shallow slide estimated to be approximately 3 feet deep immediately
below the existing cmu wall. This slide has undennined approximately 15 feet of the existing cmu
wall resulting in some movement and damage to the existing wall. The wall, however, has not
experienced collapse. Examination of the exposed wall foundation indicated that the foundation is
only about two feet wide. Slide debris indicates the slide probably began as a movement of

saturated to nearly saturated soil and apparently progressed to a mudflow after the initial soil
movement. Little remaining soil debris was observed below the slide scarp.
5.0 GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subject site is located within the coastal plain section of the Peninsular Range Geomorphic
Province of California. The coastal plain consists generally of subdued landforms underlain by
sedimentary bedrock. The site is 11Ilderlain by Eocene deposits of Torrey Sandstone. Logs
describing the subsurface conditions encountered are given in Appendix A. The approximate
locations of the borings are shown on the Site Cross Section, Figure 2. Generalized descriptions of
the subsurface conditions and the specific units observed during drilling are as follow.
5.1 Fill
Minor amounts of fill soils were observed in the slide plane around the existing cmu wall
within the upper approximately 1 foot below grade. The fill consisted primarily of brown
silty fine sand, apparently derived from the underlying natural soils. We were not provided
with documentation of the fill compaction. However, the fill appears generally medium
dense and moist.
5.2 Colluvium, Residual Soils
Underlying the fill soils we observed colluvial materials and residual soils which are derived
from the underlying Torrey Sandstone deposits. As observed in our borings, the colluvial
soils and residual soils consist ofloose to medium dense, silty medium to fine-grained sands,
with some pockets of stiff sandy clay. The upper loose colluvial soil is poorly consolidated,
and is not suitable in its present condition for support of structural loads. The denser sand
below a depth of about 5 to 7 feet is suitable for support of foundations without
improvement.

DOCUMENT NO. 8-0488
PAGE NO. 4
5.3 Torrey Sandstone
The Eocene age Torrey Sandstones were observed at the base of the colluvial deposits and
in outcrops around the site. These deposits consist oflight brown, moderately hard to hard,
sandstones. The sandstone was encountered in the borings at an estimated depth of about
11 feet below the existing grade in boring 1 and at a depth of 8 feet in boring 2. Drilling
refusal was encountered at, or near, the estimated rock contact.
5.4 Groundwater
Groundwater was not encountered in the borings drilled at the site. Seepage may be
encountered, however, during periods of rainfall, especially in areas of surface drainage or
in zones of fractured rock or on top of the unweathered rock surface.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS
Based on our examination of the current site conditions and the results of our laboratory testing and
engineering analysis, it is our opinion that the existing slope and cmu wall will not be stable in the
long term in their present condition. We recommend that the existing slope be flattened to a
maximum slope inclination of no more than 2: 1 (horizontal to vertical) and that the existing
damaged cmu wall be replaced with an engineered wall; or alternatively, that the existing wall
damage be repaired in place and the repaired wall be buried so that no more than two feet of the wall
is exposed above fmal grade. This latter recommendation is made because the existing wall
foundation is not sufficient to support a cantilevered wall 4 feet high. The existing wall should not
be used to retain more than 2 feet of soil.
Because the existing slope extends downward to the back property line, it does not appear practical
to flatten the existing slope to 2: 1 without the use of a retaining wall to support the toe of the
reconstructed slope. Because firm soils were not encountered in the borings at a reasonable
foundation depth, we do not recommend the use of traditional cantilevered retaining walls which
would generate high toe bearing pressures. We recommend the use of a reinforced earth retaining
wall which would not require as. high a bearing pressure for wall stability. There are several

proprietary reinforced earth wall systems in use today. This report uses a design based on the
"Keystone" reinforced earth retaining wall system.
Based on the results of this investigation, it is our opinion that the proposed slope repair is feasible
from- a- geotechnical standpoint provided the following recommendations and - appropriate
construction practices are followed. No geotechnical conditions were encountered that would
preclude the proposed construction.
The primary geotechnical concern at the site is the presence of loose surficial colluvial soils that
could settle upon placing high structural wall loads.
Other geotechnical considerations for the design and construction of the project include the
following:
.
In general, excavations at the site should be achievable by hand or using lightweight
earthmoving equipment.
.
Standing groundwater and groundwater seepage was not encountered in the borings drilled
at the site. Seepage may be encountered in slopes in the area during the rainy season.
.
In general, the material encountered at the site is considered suitable for reuse in compacted
fills. However, any debris or organic matter encountered in the eXisting soils is not
considered suitable for reuse at the site and should be disposed of off-site or in an area of
the site outside of the area of the proposed slope repair. Expansive clays are not considered
suitable for use within the proposed earthwork. Materials exhibiting an expansion index
exceeding 20 and a plasticity index exceeding 10 and a liquid limit exceeding 30 are not
considered suitable for use within the proposed earthwork.
.
All earthwork and foundation construction should be observed and tested by personnel of
our fIrm for conformance with the intent of our recommendations and the requirements of
the City of Encinitas.

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
The remainder of this report presents recommendations regarding earthwork construction and
foundation design. These recommendations are based on empirical and analytical methods typical
of the standard of practice in southern California. If these recommendations appear not to cover any
specific feature of the project, please contact our office for additions or revisions to the
recommendations.
7.1 Plan and Specification Review
We recommend that foundation and grading plans and the proj ect specifications be reviewed
by Geotechnics Incorporated prior to plan fmalization to evaluate conformance with the
intent of the recommendations of this report. Significant changes in the location and
foundation elevations of the proposed structures may require additional geotechnical
evaluation.
7.2 Excavation and Grading Observation
Foundation installations, excavations, and site grading operations should be observed by
Geotechnics Incorporated. Geotechnics Incorporated should provide observation and testing
services continuously during grading. Such observations are considered essential to identify
ñelå conditions that differ from those anticipated by our investigation, to adjust designs to
actual field conditions, and to determine that the earthwork construction is accomplished in
general accordance with the recommendations of this report.
Recommendations presented in this report are contingent upon Geotechnics Incorporated
perfonning such services. Our personnel should perform sufficient testing and observation
of the earthwork construction to support our professional opinion as to compliance with
compaction recommendations.

7.3 Earthwork
Earthwork for the proposed slope stabilization is anticipated to include remedial compaction
of existing loose surficial colluvial soils, excavation of retaining wall pad, excavation of
slopes for reinforced earth fill, and placement of reinforced earth fill, slope fill, and backfill.
Grading and earthwork should be conducted in accordance with the Grading Ordinance of
the City of Encinitas, Appendix Chapter 33 of the Uniform Building Code, and the
recommendations of this report. The following recommendations are provided regarding
specific aspects of the proposed earthwork construction. These recommendations should be
considered subject to revision based on the conditions observed by the geotechnical
consultant during grading operations.
7.3.1 General Site Preparation
General site preparation should include the removal of deleterious materials, existing
structures, or other improvements from areas that will be subjected to structural or
fill loads. Clearing and grubbing should consist of the removal of vegetation
including brush, grass, weeds, woods, stumps, trees, tree roots, and otherwise
deleterious materials from areas to be graded. Clearing and grubbing should extend
to outside the limits of grading and improvements. Deleterious materials, including
vegetation, trash, and debris, generated by the clearing and grubbing should be
removed from the site and disposed of at a legal landfill or disposed of onsite in an
area outside of the limits of the proposed slope repair, such that the slope repair
construction is not adversely affected by the disposed material. It is anticipated that
the tree located in the area of the existing slide will have to be removed unless a
separate wall is constructed around the tree base for grade separation.
7.3.2 Site Excavation
To reduce the amount of potential settlement beneath wall footings and foundations,
we recommend the existing colluvial materials be excavated to a minimum depth of
1 foot below subgrade elevations and replaced with compacted fill soils. The
removal of the existing colluvial materials should be conducted under the
Geotechnics Incorporated

PROÆCT NO. 0445-001-00
DOCUMENT NO. 8-0488
PAGE NO.8
observation of the geotechnical consultant to evaluate the competency of the exposed
materials for support of structural loads. The excavation of unsuitable materials
should be conducted in a way that minimizes the disturbance of competent materials.
Excavated material that is ftee of deleterious or oversize materials may be reused in
compacted fills upon evaluation by the geotechnical consultant. Areas where
removals are completed should be scarified to approximately 8 inches deep, brought
to slightly above optimum moisture content, and compacted, unless the excavation
extends into firm undisturbed formational materials or bedrock.
7.3.3 Temporary Excavations
Temporary excavations less than 6 feet in depth are expected to be generally stable
during the dry season provided they are properly laid back or shored. Temporary
excavations up to 6 feet in height should be laid back no steeper than 1; 1 (horizontal
to vertical), or shored. Any deeper excavations should be reviewed by a
representative of our fIrm. Shallow excavations up to 4 feet deep may be made
vertical without shoring, provided stockpiles and equipment are setback at least 5
feet. All excavations should conform to Cal-OSHA guidelines,.
7.3.4 Fill Compaction
All reinforced earth fill, soil fill, and backfill, to be placed in aSsociation with slide
repairs and wall construction should be accomplished at slightly over optimum
moisture conditions and using equipment that is capable of producing a uniformly
compacted product throughout the full depth of the fill lift placed. It should be noted
that, depending on the time of year of construction, portions of the excavated soil
may have moisture contents above optimum, and may require some drying prior to
inclusion in compacted fills. Fill materials at less than optimum moisture content
should have water added and the fill mixed to result in material that is uniformly
slightly above optimum moisture content. Fill materials that are too wet should be
aerated or mixed with dryer material to achieve uniformly moisture-conditioned soil.
The fill and backfill should be placed in horizontal lifts at a thickness appropriate for
the equipment spreading, mixing, and compacting the material, but generally should
Geotechnics Incorporated
Ms. MARY P. WONNER
JUNE 29,1998
PROJECT NO. 0445-001-00
DOCUMENT NO. 8-0488
PAGE NO.9
not exceed 8 inches in loose thickness. The Il1lIllIIlum relative compaction
recommended for reinforced earth fill, soil fill and backfill is 90 percent of
maximum density based on ASTM D1557. Rocks or hard clumps greater than 4
inches in dimension should not be used in reinforced earth fill, soil fill, backfill for
reinforced earth walls, or general backfill. Sufficient observation and testing should
be performed by Geotechnics Incorporated so that an opinion can be rendered as to
the compaction achieved.
Where fill is to be placed on surfaces inclined steeper than 5: 1 (horizontal to
vertical), benches should be excavated to provide a relatively level surface for fill
placement. The benches should extend through any loose, unsuitable materials to
expose competent material as evaluated by the geotechnical consultant. The bench
width should generally be adequate to expose 1 to 2 feet of competent material in the
vertical wall of the bench. Unless the excavation extends into finn undisturbed
formational materials or bedrock, the exposed benches should be scarified to a depth
of approximately 8 inches, brought to slightly above optimum moisture content, and
compacted prior to placing fill. Excavated material that is free of deleterious or
oversize materials may be reused in compacted fills upon evaluation by the
geotechnical consultant.
7.3.5 Material for Fill
The on-site sands and silty sand soils, less clay, organic material, and debris, may be
re-used for compacted fill material and reinforced earth fill material. Any rocks
greater than 4 inches in size should not be used in the fill material. Imported fill
sources should be observed prior to hauling onto the site to detennine the suitability
for use. Representative samples of imported materials and on site soils should be
tested by Geotechnics Incorporated to evaluate their appropriate engineering
properties for the planned use. Imported fill soils should have an expansion index
of no more than 20 based on UBC Test Method 29-2 or ASTM D4829. Imported
fill soils used for reinforced earth fill should consist of relatively free draining silty
sands, sands, gravel, or crushed rock having an expansion index of no more than 20
based on UBC Test Method 29-2 or ASTM D4829 and a plasticity index not

exceeding 10 and a liquid limit not exceeding 30. During grading operations, soil
types other than those analyzed in the geotechnical reports may be encountered by
the contractor. Geotechnics should be notified to evaluate the suitability of these
soils for use as fill and as reinforced fill materials.
7.3.6 Construction Dewatering
Groundwater is not generally anticipated at the site, but seepage may occur during
periods of rainfall and associated runoff. We anticipate that the excavations for the
reinforced earth wall may be dewatered by sumping the water from the bottom of the
excavations. If the base of an excavation becomes saturated, it may be stabilized
using coarse gravel or lean concrete. The bottom should be dewatered sufficiently
to provide a stable working surface.
7.3.7 Subsurface Drainage Systems
To reduce the potential for water related distress to the proposed improvements, we
recommend that sub drains be installed in the back of the retaining wall, below the
cmu wall in the area of the prior slope failure, and wherever seepage is encountered.
In general, subdrains should be constructed and insta11edas shown in Figure 2. The
location and extent of subdrains should be evaluated during grading by the
geotechnical consultant.
Where seepage is observed in cut or fill slopes, or conditions indicate potential for
seepage, we recommend that composite panel drains be installed as shown in Figure
3. The panel drain should be placed so that it covers the areas where seepage is
observed or anticipated. The location and extent of the drain should be evaluated by
the geotechnical consultant.
7.3.8 Surface Drainage
Although the proposed slopes appear stable with regard to deep-seated failure, they
may be susceptible to erosion and spalling. Surficial slope stability may be
Geotechnics Incorporated
Ms. MARY P. WONNER
JUNE 29,1998
PROJECT NO. 0445-001-00
DOCUMENT NO. 8-0488
PAGE NO. 11
improved by providing proper site drainage. Slope and wall performance will
depend greatly on how well the runoff waters drain from the site. This is true both
during construction and over the entire design life of the slope. The ground surface
around the slope should be graded so that water is not directed to flow over the slope
face. The surface gradient needed to achieve this depends on the prevailing
landscape. In general, we recommend that patio and landscape areas within 1 0 feet
of the reconstructed slope be sloped away fÌ'om the construction at gradients of at
least two percent and be directed to area drains which connect to downslope solid
pipe drains discharging to the existing drainage downslope of the repairs. Given the
construction of the existing upper slope above the damaged cmu wall it may be more
practical to construct a patio deck above the terraced area to direct the runoff to the
existing area drain. The existing area drain should be examined to make certain the
drain is operating properly and does not leak excessively. Ifnecessary the existing
drain should be repaired or replaced.
Roof drainage should be channeled by pipe to storm drains, or should be piped to
discharge at least 10 feet below the slope repairs. Site irrigation should be limited
to the minimum necessary to sustain landscaping plants. Should excessive irrigation,
surface water intrusion, water line breaks, or unusually high rainfall occur, saturated
zones or "perched" groundwater may develop in the underlying soils.
It is recommended that slopes be planted with vegetation that will increase their
stability. Ice plant is not recommended. We recommend that vegetation include
woody plants, along with ground cover, such as dwarf coyote bush. All plants
should be adapted for growth in semiarid climates with little or no irrigation. A
landscape architect should be consulted in order to develop a specific planting palate
suitable for slope stabilization. Site irrigation should be limited to the minimum
necessary to sustain landscaping plants.
7.4 Slope Stability
The pertinent slope stability analyses are summarized in Appendix C. The surficial stability
of the proposed slopes was analyzed using an idealized infInite slope composed of a
Geotechnics Incorporated
Ms. MARY P. WONNER
JUNE 29, 1998
PROJECT NO. 0445-001-00
DOCUMENT NO. 8-0488
PAGE NO. 12
cohesive, frictional material, with steady state down slope seepage forces applied parallel
to the slope surface (Abrahamson et al, 1996). The analysis is presented in Appendix C.
The gross stability of the site was analyzed using PCST ABL5 software. The results of these
analyses are presented in the remaining figures in Appendix C.
In general, our analysis indicates that the existing slopes at the site have a factor of safety
ofless than 1.5. Our analysis also indicates that fill slopes, constructed at inclinations of2: 1
(horizontal to vertical) or flatter, will generally meet or exceed a factor-of-safety of 1.5.
We recommend that fill slopes be constructed at inclinations no steeper than 2: 1 (horizontal
to vertical). Our analysis indicates that slopes inclined at inclinations greater than 2: 1 may
be more susceptible to surficial failure and erosion. Surficial slides typically occur when the
soil along the face of a slope becomes saturated as a result of heavy rainfall or irrigation.
These slides generally involve the outer three to five feet of slope material as measured
perpendicularly to the slope face. Erosion is more likely on slopes where vegetation has not
been established.
All slopes are subject to some creep, whether the slopes are natural or man-made. Slope
creep is the very slow, down-slope movement of the near surface soil along the slope face.
The degree and depth of the movement is influenced by soil type and the moisture
conditions. This movement is typical in slopes and is not considered a hazard. However,
it may affect structures built on or near the slope face.
7.5 Foundations
The following recommendations are considered generally consistent with methods typically
used in southern California. Other alternatives may be available. The foundation
recommendations herein should not be considered to preclude more restrictive criteria of
governing agencies or by the structural engineer. The design of the foundation system
should be performed by the project engineer or designlbuild contractor, incorporating the
geotechnical parameters described in the following sections.

The loose surficial colluvial soils should not be relied upon for foundation support
for deck piers or retaining walls without compaction.
7.5.2 Spread Footings

7.5.3 Lateral Load Resistance
Lateral loads against structures may be resisted by friction between the bottoms of
footings and the supporting soil and passive pressure against vertical foundation
members founded in compacted fill. A coefficient of friction of 0.4 may be used
between the bottoms of footings and the underlying compacted fill soils. A passive
pressure of 300 lbs.lft3 may be used for compacted fill. A one-third increase in the
passive value may be used for wind or seismic loads. The passive resistance of the
soils or formational materials may be combined with the frictional resistance without
reduction in evaluating the total lateral resistance.
7.6 Reinforced Earth Retaining Structures
In order to provide a stable slope and restrain the damaged cmu wall, we recommend that
a reinforced earth wall be placed approximately 30 feet downslope of the existing cmu wall.
A back slope should then be constructed at a slope not steeper than 2: 1 (horizontal to
vertical) to intercept and support the existing cmu wall 2 feet below the top of the cmu wall.
The cracked section of wall should be grouted using either a cement grout or epoxy grout
to close the existing cracks. The proposed reinforced earth wall is estimated to be
approximately 9 feet in total height, and should be buried at least 1 Y2 feet below the lowest
adjacent grade. A 5-foot wide level work pad constructed of compacted fill should be placed
in front of the wall to improve stability of the slope. The wall may be supported on a 6-inch
thick pad ofCaltrans Class II aggregate base or %-inch crushed stone after the subgrade soils
have been compacted as recommended in this report. The gravel pad should be compacted
to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM Test Method D
1557. A 4-inch perforated drain pipe should be provided at the heel of the wall and a
permeable drain at least 6 inches wide consisting of Caltrans Class II permeable drain
material or %-inch crushed rock or gravel should be placed behind the wall. If a "KeystOne"
reinforced earth wall system is used either "compac" or "standard" wall units may be used
for wall construction. All reinforced earth fill and backfill should be compacted to at least
90 percent of maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM Test Method D 1557. The
west side of the wall should be turned back into the existing slope to provide a transition and
wall closure. A side slope of2:1 may be used in the fill soils to reduce the amount offill

required. The east wall should be terminated in the firmer Torrey Sandstone to the east of
the site and the fill brought up to the midpoint of the existing cmu wall at a slope not steeper
than 2:1.
Keystone Retaining Walls are typically a designlbuild system. Internal stability is a function
of the soil used for backfill and the reinforcing zone, and the strength properties of the
reinforcing geogrids. Global stability depends on the profile geometry ( height, level or
sloped backfill), bearing stratum, and surcharge. The design values are a function of the
shear strength of the soils used for backfill and the reinforcing zone. Some alternative wall
designs are presented in Figures 3a through 3f as design guides for the designlbuild
contractor. Those designs are based on the engineering soil parameters presented below.
If the on site soils are used as backfill and in the reinforced zone, the following
recommendations may be used, provided those soils are compacted to at least 90 percent of
the laboratory maximum density in accordance with ASTM D 1557:
Angle of Internal friction
Cohesion
Total Unit Weight
Bearing Pressure
= 34 degrees
= 50 psf
= 125 pcf
= 2,000 psf
If imported soils are used, they should be tested by Geotechnics Incorporated to compare the
shear strength and unit weight values of the imported soils to design values. We recommend
the soils used as backfill and in the reinforcing zone be predominantly granular and free
draining cohesionless soils having an Expansive Index of 20 or less, a plasticity index not
exceeding 10 and a liquid limit not exceeding 30, and that those soils be free of organic and
clay materials. Backfillingretaining walls with expansive soils can increase lateral pressures
well beyond the active pressures anticipated in design. Retaining wall backfill should be
compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction, based on ASTM D1557. Heavy
compaction equipment which could cause distress to walls should not be used. Adequate
drainage should be provided to relieve hydrostatic pressures.

8.0 LIMITATIONS OF INVESTIGATION
This investigation was perfonned using the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised, under
similar circumstances, by reputable geotechnical consultants practicing in this or similar localities.
No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to the conclusions and professional opinions
included in this report.
The samples taken and used for testing and the observations made are believed representative of the
project site; however, soil and geologic conditions can vary significantly between borings. As in
most projects, conditions revealed by excavation may be at variance with preliminary findings. If
this occurs, the changed conditions must be evaluated by the geotechnical consultant and additional
recommendations made, if warranted.
This report is issued with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the owner, or of his
representative, to ensure that the infonnation and recommendations contained herein are brought
to the attention of the necessary design consultants for the project and incorporated into the plans,
and the necessary steps are taken to see that the contractors carry out such recommendations in the
field.
Changes in the condition of a property can occur with the passage of time, whether due to natural
processes or the work of man on this or adjacent properties. In addition, changes in applicable or
appropriate standards of practice may occur from legislation or the broaderiing of knowledge.
Accordingly, the findings of this report may be invalidated wholly or partially by changes outside
our control. Therefore, this report is subject to review and should not be relied upon after a period
of three years.

APPENDIX A
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
Field exploration consisted of drilling two exploratory borings using a 6-inch-diameter, solid stem
auger tripod drill rig. The depth of the exploration borings was approximately 11 feet below
existing grades. Logs describing the subsurface conditions encountered are presented in Figures A-I
through A-2.
The soils encountered were logged by our field engineer. Bulk and relatively undisturbed samples
were collected for laboratory testing. Bulk samples were sealed in plastic bags, labeled, and
returned to the laboratory for testing. Relatively undisturbed samples were collected using a 3-inch
outside diameter, ring lined sampler (modified California sampler). Ring samples were sealed in
plastic bags, placed in rigid plastic containers, labeled, and returned to the laboratory for testing.
The drive weight for the undisturbed samples was 140 pounds, with a free fall of 30 inches. The
approximate depths at which samples were obtained are indicated to the left of the boring logs.
Undisturbed samples are represented by "CAL" on the boring logs. For each sample, we recorded
the number of blows needed to drive the sampler 12 inches and is shown on the attached logs under
"blows per ft."
The borings were located by visually estimating and taping distances from landmarks shown on the
Cross Section. The locations shown should not be considered more accurate than is implied by the
method of measurement used and the scale of the map. The lines designating the interface between
differing soil materials on the logs may be abrupt or gradational. Further, soil conditions at
locations between the borings may be substantially different from those at the specific locations
explored. It should be recognized that the passage of time can result in changes in the soil
conditions reported in our logs.

APPENDIX B
LABORATORY TESTING
Selected samples of soils encountered during the investigation were tested using the test methods
of the American Society for Testing and Materials, or other generally accepted testing standards.
The soils selected for testing are believed to be generally representative of the materials encountered
during the investigation at the site; however variations may occur in the soils at the site, and the
materials tested may not be representative of the materials encountered during construction. A brief
description of the tests performed follows:
Classification: Soils were classified visually according to the Unified Soil Classification System.
Visual classification was supplemented by laboratory testing of selected soil samples and
classification in accordance with ASTM test method D 2487. The classifications are shown on the
Boring Logs in Appendix A.
In-Situ Moisture/Density: The in-place moisture content and dry unit weight of selected soil
samples were determined using relatively undisturbed samples from the liner rings of a 2.375-inch
ID Modified California Sampler, or by volume determination of irregular blocks by submerging
waxed soil samples. The dry unit weight and moisture content are shown on the Boring Logs in
Appendix A.
Particle Size Analvsis: Particle size analyses were performed in accordance with ASTM test
method D 422. The grain size distribution was used to determine presumptive soil strength
parameters and foundation design criteria. The results are given in Figures B-1 through B-3.
Atterber~ Limits: ASTM test method D 4318 was used to determine the liquid limit, plastic limit,
and plasticity index of selected fine-grained soil samples. The results are given in Figures B-1.

LABORATORY TESTING (continued)
Maximum Density Optimum Moisture: The maximum dry density and optimum moisture
content for a selected soil sample was detennined by using test method ASTM test method D 1557,
modified Proctor. The test results are summarized in Figure B-4.
Direct Shear: The shear strength of selected soil samples was assessed through direct shear testing
perfonned in general accordance with ASTM test method D 3080. The results are summarized in
Figures B-5 through B-8.

APPENDIX C
SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS
Surficial and gross slope stability analyses were performed using average shear strengths as
summarized below. Seepage was assumed to consist of groundwater perched on existing
formational materials, where present, with minor hydraulic gradients but with adequate drainage to
eliminate seepage forces..
STATIC PSEUDO-ST A TIC
MATERIAL DENSITY
(pet) C <Þ c <Þ
(pst) (degree) (pst) (degree)
Torrey Sandstone 125 500 36 650 45
Alluvium/Colluvium 125 0 38 0 41
Fill 125 50 34 0 38
SURFICIAL STABILITY: Surficial stability was analyzed using an idealized infInite slope
composed of a cohesive, frictional material. Steady state seepage forces were applied parallel to the
slope surface using an idealized flow net. The analysis procedure is based on that presented by
Abrahamson et al., 1996. Note that the factor of safety against surficial failure is plotted versus the
depth of the wetted zone in Figures C-l and C-2 for fills and in Figures C-3 and C-4 for
colluvium/residual soil. A factor-of-safety of 1.5 is typically deemed acceptable against surficial
failure. A factor-of-safety of 1.0 would indicate eminent failure given a particular depth of wetted
zone.
GROSS STABILITY: The gross stability of the proposed slopes was analyzed using PCSTABL5
software. Pertinent results are presented in the remaining figures of this appendix. Gross stability
of the proposed slopes was analyzed with little, or no, seepage forces from groundwater (factor-of-
safety approximately 1.5). Analysis was conducted using Bishop's specified surface search routines.
