Method of Calculation This study proposes to calculate the total runoff from the site using the County of San Diego's procedures for hydrologic computations. The specific method used is the Rational Formula for watersheds under 0.5 square miles. The proposed grading and site improvement design will rely upon the proposed driveway as the main drainage course to collect surface runoff that will eventually drain onto Wishbone Way, a private road. Procedure for Calculating Time of Concentration and Rainfall Intensity For the purposes of this study, the time of concentration for the anticipated rainfall intensity was calculated by first estimating the time of concentration of the offsite drainage basin that drains towards the project from the east. For simplicity, the private driveway will act as the main drainage course to convey runoff through the property. Using the calculated runoff draining onto the property from the east, the on-site time of concentration was calculated for the overland flow from the top of the driveway to Wishbone Way. Through an iterative process, the design rainfall intensity for the overall project was calculated by analyzing the total time of concentration from the farthest most point offsite to the point of discharge at Wishbone Way. 1. Off-site Drainage Basin: ( See Exhibit 1) Drainage Basin Area, Al = 0.18 ac. Coefficient of runoff, C = .45 (From Appendix A, Rural Residential, Soil Group D).

Time of Concentration and On-site Drainage Computations: (See Exhibit 1) Using the runoff from the offsite drainage basin calculated in paragraph 1 above and utilizing the driveway gutter to convey the runoff to the point of discharge, the on-site time of concentration and estimated runoff draining towards Wishbone Way is calculated as follows: Iteration No. 1 Q=0.37 c.f.s. Average driveway slope, S=0.063 ft./ft. From City of San Diego Chart 1-104.12 (Appendix F) Gutter Velocity, V=5 ft sec. (Assumed since chart does not include flows less than 1 c.f.s.). The overland time of concentration, Tc = L/V =110 sec. = 1.83 min., (use 2 min.), where L = 550 ft. ( length of the driveway). The total time of concentration, Ttota, = 2 + 11 =13 min. From Appendix E: l.di..Led = 7.44(P6)(Ttota1))-.645 =4.13 in./hr. Atota, = 0.18 + 1.80 = 1.98 ac., total drainage basin intercepted by the driveway, (See Exhibit 1). C =.45, Runoff coefficient.

The overland time of concentration, Tc =L/V= 100 sec. = 1.67 min., (use 2 min.), where L = 550 ft. ( length of the driveway). The total time of concentration, Ttota, = 2 + 11 =13 min. From Appendix E: ladjusted = 7.44(P6)(Ttota1) ) .645 =4.13 in./hr., (Use as 1100) Atota, = 0.18 + 1.80 =1.98 ac., total drainage basin intercepted by the driveway, (See Exhibit 1).

Box 230564 Encinitas, California 92023-0564 Subject: Project No. 94-1148B3 Limited Site Investigation Proposed Single Family Dwelling Parcel 4 Parcel Map 15133 City of Encinitas Dear Mr. Brown: The attached report has been prepared to present the results of an investigation of the soil conditions at the subject site. The investigation was undertaken to provide the soil engineering criteria for site grading and to recommend an appropriate foundation system for the type of structures anticipated for the proposed project. In general, we found loose compressible soils one to two feet in depth over medium dense clayey sands. The site is suitable for the proposed development provided the recommendations in this report are followed. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Respectfully submitted, enja D. Rosenwald, P. f. RCE 25018 BDR/ljs , r.V AUG 2G 1996 BROWN PROJECT NO. 94-1148B3 8-04-94 INTRODUCTION This is to present the findings and conclusions of a soils investigation for a proposed single family dwelling site located on Wishbone Way, City of Encinitas. A brief legal description of the site is: Parcel 4 Of Parcel Map 15133 The objectives of this investigation were to determine the existing soils conditions and physical properties of the soils so that engineering recommendations could be presented for the safe and economical grading of the site and for the design of foundations for the proposed structures. In order to accomplish these objectives, 3 exploration trenches were excavated, chunk, undisturbed and loose bag samples of the on-site soils were obtained, and laboratory tests were performed on these samples to determine the necessary criteria. SITE DESCRIPTION The subject site is a located on the east side of Wishbone Way, City of Encinitas. The site slopes moderately up to the east with a relatively flat area near the east end of the site. SURFACE CONDITIONS The surface soils encountered during the course of this investigation were loose silty sands to a depth of approximately 1 to 2 feet. These surface soils were underlain by medium dense clayey sands and fractured rock. GROUNDWATER No ground water was encountered during the course of this investigation. We do not expect ground water to be a consideration in the development of this project. Page 2 BROWN PROJECT NO. 94-1148B3 8-04-94 FIELD INVESTIGATION Three exploration trenches were excavated with a Cat backhoe on July 29, 1994, at the approximate locations shown on the attached Plate No. 1, entitled "Location of Exploration Trenches". The trenches were excavated to a depth of 4.0 feet below the existing ground surface. A continuous log of the soils encountered in the trenches were recorded a the time of excavation and is shown in detail on Plates No. 2 through 4 entitled "Summary Sheet". The soils were visually and texturally classified by the filed identification procedures set forth on the attached Plate No. 5 entitled "Uniform Soil Classification Chart". Field Densities and moisture contents were taken in conformance with A.S.T.M. D1556-82. The approximate locations of these tests are shown on Plate No. 1. The test results are presented on the summary sheets. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS There was no_..-P-v-i.den.ce of significant on-site faulting and review of the available geological literature pertaining to the site indicates there are no known active faults that transverse the subject site. Ground shaking from one of the major active faults is the most likely happening to affect the site. With respect to this hazard the site is comparable to others in the general area. The proposed buildings should be designed in accordance with seismic design requirements of the Uniform Building code or the Structural Engineers Association of California. Liquefaction should not be a problem on the site. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The following summarized conclusions and recommendations are based upon the analysis of all the data and information obtained from our soil investigation. This includes our visual inspection of the site; field investigation and classification of the soil; laboratory tests on soil samples analyzed; and our general knowledge and experience with the soils native to this site. Page 3 BROWN PROJECT NO. 94-1148B3 8-04-94 The site is suitable for the proposed development provided the recommendations set forth in this report are carefully followed. (1) The surface soils extending to 1 to 2 feet in depth have been classified as sandy clays and, although native to the site were found to be loose and compressible. When properly compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density, these soils are suitable for use as fill materials. Therefore, it is our recommendation that these loose soils be removed to a depth of 1 to 2 feet, and properly recompacted in accordance with the attached Appendix A, Grading Specifications, in order to provide adequate support for the proposed structures. The site is underlain by medium dense clayey sands and fractured rock. (2) The soils encountered in our investigation range from non-expansive to moderately expansive (Expansion Index 59) with respect to change in volume with change in moisture content. It is anticipated that once remedial grading is performed, the expansive potential of the prevailing foundation soils will be moderate. The recommendations of this report reflect this condition. GRADING Site Preparation: Site preparation should begin with the removal of all deleterious matter and vegetation. Areas to receive fill and/or structural loads should be excavated to firm natural ground. Firm natural ground is defined as undisturbed soil having an in-place density of at least 85 percent of maximum dry density at a minimum moisture content at or slightly above optimum. The over-excavated soils should then be placed in compacted layers until desired elevations are reached. Remedial grading operations should extend to a minimum horizontal distance of five feet beyond the perimeter of the improvements. This includes isolated improvements such as retaining walls. The estimated depth of removal is one to two feet below existing grade. Page 4 BROWN PROJECT NO. 94-1148B3 8-04-94 Drainage: Adequate measures shall be undertaken to properly finish grade the site after the structures and other improvements are in place, such that drainage waters from within the site and the adjacent higher properties are directed away from within the site and the adjacent higher properties are directed away from the foundations, footings, floor slabs and tops of slopes via surface swales and subsurface drains towards the lower level of the proposed building site onto the natural drainage for this area. Proper surface and subsurface drainage will insure that no waters will seek the level of the baring soils under the foundations, footings and floor slabs, which could result in undermining and differential settlement of the structures and other improvements. ~arthWOrk: All earthwork and grading contemplated for site preparation should be accomplished in accordance with the attached Appendix A, Grading Specifications. All special site preparation recommendations presented in the sections above will supersede those in Appendix A. All embankments and fill areas should be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction at slightly over optimum moisture content. Utility trench backfill within five feet of the proposed structures and beneath asphalt pavements should be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. The maximum dry density of each soils type should be determined in accordance with A.S.T.M. D1557. EXPANSIVE SOILS An expansion test was performed on a representative sample of the most expansive soils encountered during this investigation to determine volumetric change characteristics with change in moisture content. An expansion index of 59 indicated that some of the soils on the site are moderately expansive in nature. Expansive soils such as those encountered on the site can be detrimental to proposed structures unless special precautions are implemented. Recommendations for preventing potential structural damage from adverse effects of the on-site expansive soils are presented below and explained in detail in the attached Appendix C. Page 5 BROWN PROJECT NO. 94-1148B3 8-04-94 There is no economical way to absolutely prevent movement of expansive soils when there is a change in moisture content. If the top three feet of soils under the proposed structures are expansive in nature, these recommendations should be followed. a. The perimeter continuous foundations and spread footings shall extend a minimum of 18 inches into the_ compacted fill soils or firm natural ground. The continuous foundations shall be reinforced with two #4 steel bars; one bar shall be located near the top of the footings and the other bar shall be located near the bottom of the footings. b. Concrete floor slabs should be 4 inches. Concrete slab reinforcement should consist of #3 bars at 24 inches on center each way. Slab reinforcement should be placed within the middle third of the slab by supporting the steel chairs or concrete blocks "dobies". The effect of concrete shrinkage will result in cracks in virtually all concrete slabs which are not designed to resist this shrinkage. To reduce the extent of shrinkage, the concrete should be placed at a maximum of 4 inch slump. The minimum steel recommended is not intended to prevent shrinkage cracks. C. It is advisable to avoid locating planter boxes adjacent to building foundations and/or parking access areas; however, if planter boxes are utilized in these areas, they shall be constructed with a gravel base and/or drain with the direction of drainage waters away from the building foundations, footings and floor slabs to the street at the lower- level of the site. Page 6 BROWN PROJECT NO. 94-1148B3 8-04-94 RETAINING WALLS Lateral resistance: Lateral resistance to horizontal movement may be provided by allowable soils passive pressure and/or coefficient of friction of concrete to soil. The allowable passive pressure may be assumed to be 200 pounds per square foot per foot of depth. The coefficient of friction may be safely assumed to be .30 The computed values are for static conditions and may be increased 1/3 for wind and/or seismic_ loading. Retaining Structures: Unrestrained, cantilevered, individually supported retaining walls, capable of slight movement away from load should be designed to resist active pressured developed by an equivalent fluid weighing 42 pounds per cubic foot. This active pressure coefficient assumes a vertical, smooth wall, and a level, drained backfill. If these conditions are not met, we should be contacted for new values. BEARING VALUE A safe allowable bearing value of 1500 pounds per square foot may be used when designing continuous foundations and spread footings founded a minimum of 18 inches into firm natural ground or compacted fill soils. This value may be increased by 20 percent for each additional foot of depth and/or width as set forth in the Uniform Building Code, Table No. 29-B. Page 7 BROWN PROJECT NO. 94-1148B3 8-04-94 LIMITS OF INVESTIGATION The recommendations of this report pertain only to the site investigated and based upon the assumption that the soil conditions do not deviate from those disclosed in the trenches.

General Description: The intent of these specifications is to obtain uniformity and adequate strength in filled ground so that the proposed structures may be safely supported. The procedures include the clearing and preparation of land to be filled, processing the fill soils, the spreading, and compaction of the filled areas to conform with the lines and grades as shown on the approved plans. The owner shall retain a civil engineer qualified in soil mechanics (herein referred to as engineer) to inspect and test the earth work in accordance with these specifications. The engineer shall advise the owner and grading contractor immediately if any unsatisfactory conditions are observed to exist and shall have the authority to reject the compacted filled ground until such time that corrective measures are taken, necessary to comply with the specifications. It shall be the sole responsibility of the grading contractor to achieve the specified degree of compaction. 2. Preparinff Areas to be Filled i (a.) All brush, vegetation and any biodegradable refuse shall be removed or otherwise disposed of so as to leave the areas to be filled free of vegetation and debris. Any uncompacted filled ground or loose compressible natural ground, shall be removed unless the report recommends otherwise. Any buried tanks or other structures shall be removed and the depression backfilled to the satisfaction of the engineer. Recommended Earthwork Specifications - (cont'd.) (b.) The natural ground which is determined to be satisfactory for the support of the filled ground shall then be plowed or scarified to a depth of at least 12 inches (12"). (c.) After the natural ground has been prepared,-it shall then be brought to the proper moisture content and compacted to not less than 90 percent of maximum dry density in accordance with A.S.T.M. D1557-78. (d.) Where fills are made on slopes greater than 20 percent, horizontal benches shall be cut into firm natural ground. The initial bench at the toe of the fill shall be at least 10 feet in width on firm undisturbed natural ground. The width, of all succeeding benches shall be at least 6 feet. 3. Fill Materials: All material placed in the fill shall be approved by the engineer and shall consist of materials free from vegetable matter, and other deleterious substances, and shall not contain rocks or lumps greater than 6 inches in diameter. If, during grading operations, soils are found which were not encountered and tested in the preliminary investigation, tests on these soils shall be performed to determine their physical characteristics. Any special treatment recommended in the preliminary or subsequent soil reports not covered herein shall become an addendum to these specifications. 4. Placing and Compacting Fill Materials (a.) When the moisture content of the fill material is below that specified, water shall be added until the moisture content is near optimum to assure uniform mixing and effective compaction. (b.) When the moisture content of the fill materials is above that specified, the fill material shall be aerated by blading and scarifying or other satisfactory methods until the moisture content is near optimum as specified. Page 2 of 3 • Recommended Earthwork Specifications - (cont'd.) (c.) After processing, the suitable fill materials shall he placed in layers which, when compacted, shall not exceed six inches (C"). Each layer shall be spread evenly and shall be thoroughly mixed during the spreading to insure uniformity of material and moisture i-n each layer. (d.) After each layer has been placed, mixed and spread evenly, it shall be thoroughly - compacted to riot less than the density set forth in paragraph 2 (c) above. Compaction shall be accomplished with approved types of compaction equipment. Rolling shall be accomplished while the fill material is at the specified moisture content. In place density tests shall be performed in accordance with A.S.T.M. D1556-82. (e.) The surfaces of the fill slopes shall be compacted by means of sheepsfoot rollers or other suitable equipment. Compacting operations shall be continued until the slopes are stable and until there is no appreciable amount of loose soil on the slopes. 5. Inspection: Sufficient inspection by the Engineer shall be maintained during the filling and compacting operations so that he can verify that the fill was constructed in accordance with the accepted specifications. 6. Seasonal Limits: No fill material shall be placed, spread, or rolled if weather conditions increase the moisture content above permissible limits. When the work is interrupted by rain, fill operations shall not be resumed until the moisture content and density of fill are as previously specified. 7. All recommendations presented in the attached report are a part of these specifications.

Therefore, insofar as it is feasible, a stable soil moisture content should be established and maintained throughout the life of the structures. Since it is usually not practical to maintain a completely stable soil moisture content, in order to minimize the undesirable effects of the expansive soils on the structures if these soils are placed or allowed to remain within the upper three feet below finish grade, it is recommended that the following special precautions be exercised in design and construction of slabs and foundations. A. Design of foundations and slabs on expansive soils are presented in Table 1 based on expansion indices and there may be more stringent structural design or agency requirements. As an alternative to conventionally reinforced concrete foundations, post-tensioned structural slab systems, designed by a structural engineer, may be utilized. B. Footing depth should be measured below lowest exterior finish grade. C. A reinforced concrete grade beam should be constructed across garage entrances, with similar depth and reinforcement as adjacent perimeter footings for all soils with expansion potential greater than "very low". D. For soil with a potential expansion greater than "low", interior isolated spread footings are not recommended. E. Where pre-saturation is recommended beneath interior slabs, the recommended moisture should penetrate to one foot below the depth of the perimeter footings. Pre-saturation should be completed at least 24 hours prior to concrete placement. F. For soils with an expansive index greater than "Low" slab reinforcement should be structurally tied to the footings. In buildings where it is feasible to permit independent movement of slabs with respect to foundations, such as in garages and warehouses, these slabs should be separated from the foundations by 1/2 inch thickness of construction felt or equivalent. Special care should be exercised to assure that the separation extends to the full depth of the thickened edges of slab and that no appurtenances are attached to the building and also the slabs. G. Provide a moisture barrier-such as visqueen overlain by an inch of sand below slabs in areas that receive flooring which might be adversely affected by capillary moisture. H. Where a base course is recommended beneath interior slabs, it should consist of pea gravel, clean sand, or other acceptable granular material. The above moisture barrier/sand cover requirement may be included as part of the recommended base course thickness. I. Slab reinforcement should be supported at mid-slab height on chairs or concrete blocks. J. Provide positive drainage away from all perimeter footings to a horizontal distance of at least five feet outside the building walls. f dP d op qw ~ ; -W V (L) W 04 U) t; 49 U) Q N Q 9 N N :1 H .

Box 230564 Encinitas CA. 92023-0564 Subject: Project No. 97-1148B3 Report of Compacted Filled Ground Proposed Residential Building Site 2905 Wishbone Way City of Encinitas Dear Mr. Brown: In accordance with your request, our firm has inspected the grading operation and tested the fill soils that were placed and compacted during the preparation of the subject site. The following report summarizes our work and presents our test results as well as our conclusions and recommendations concerning your project. 1. SITE DESCRIPTION The proposed single family dwelling,pool and tennis court are to be located on the east side of Wishbone Way,Encinitas. A brief legal description of the project is : Parcel 4 of Parcel Map 15133 Prior to the grading operation presented in this report, the site sloped moderately to the west with a relatively flat area near the east end . It is presently prepared to receive a single family residence,a tennis court and a swimming pool. BROWN PROJECT NO.97-1148133 H. MATERIALS AND PLACEMENT The grading operation presented in this report encompassed the excavation of the on-site native soils, proper keying into firm natural ground, and placement and compaction of the fill soils to provide adequate support for the proposed residential structures. Prior to placement of the fill soils, the natural ground was observed to be dense silty sands with fractured rock which was considered to be capable of supporting the newly placed and compacted fill soils. The materials utilized in the grading operation were from the existing on-site soils. The fill soils were placed and compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density while maintaining a moisture content at or near optimum by means of a 1 1/2 inch fire hose. Compaction was achieved by trackrolling with a Cat D-8 tractor. TESTS Field density tests were performed in accordance with A. S.T.M. D1556-90. Laboratory maximum density tests were performed in conformance with A.S.T.M. D1557-91, Methods A and B. The relative compaction results, as summarized on PageT-1 and T-2 under "Table of Test Results", are the ratios of the field dry densities to the laboratory maximum dry densities as expressed as a percentage. The laboratory determinations of the maximum dry densities and optimum moisture contents and expansion test of the fill soils are set forth on Page L-1 under "Laboratory Test Results". The approximate locations of the filled ground and the field density tests are presented on Plate No. 1 entitled "Location of Field Density Tests". 2 BROWN PROJECT NO. 97-1148133 III. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The following conclusions and recommendations have been based upon our analysis of the data available from the testing of the soils compacted on this site. Included in this analysis are our visual inspection of the grading operation while in progress from May 16,1997 through May 28,1997, field and laboratory testing of the bearing soil and our general knowledge and experience with the natural soils and compacted fill on this site. 1. The soils utilized in the grading operation were from existing on-site materials which were excavated, replaced and compacted. These materials consist primarily of silty clayey sands with fractured rock. The potential for liquefaction is very low. 2. During the grading operation, the natural ground soils were exposed where necessary and properly prepared to receive the fill soils. The fill soils were properly placed, watered and then compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density in accordance with the County of San Diego Grading Ordinance and the Uniform Building Code (Chapter 70). 3. Since some of the soils utilized in the fill were considered to be expansive, (Expansion Index of 59). The recommendations for footings and slab per "Limited Site Investigation" dated Aug. 4,1994 by Rosenwald Engineering and Associates, are still valid: a. A footing depth of 18 inches below adjacent grade for one and two story structures should be used. Minimum width of footing should be 12 inches. b. The footings should be reinforced with one #4 steel bar placed near the top of the footings and one #4 steel bar placed near the bottom of the footings. c. Where moisture sensitive floor coverings are anticipated over the slab, a 6 mil plastic moisture barrier should be placed beneath the concrete slabs. The plastic moisture barrier shall be overlaid with a minimum of 2 inches of sand, or suitable on-site materials, to aid in concrete curing and to minimize potential punctures. 3 BROWN PROJECT N0.97-1148B3 d. Concrete floor slabs should be a minimum of 4 inches thick. Reinforcement should consist of #4 bars at 3 feet on center each way, #3 bars placed at 24 inches on center each way or 6X6-6/6 welded wire mesh. Slab reinforcement should be placed within the middle third of the slab by supporting the steel on chairs or concrete blocks "dobies". The effect of concrete shrinkage will result in cracks in virtually all concrete slabs which are not designed to resist this shrinkage. To reduce the extent of shrinkage, the concrete should be placed at a maximum of a 4 inch slump. The minimum steel recommended is not intended to prevent shrinkage cracks. 4. It is our understanding that buildings will be constructed utilizing conventional type foundations, footings and conventional type building materials in conformance with the Uniform Building Code, 1994 edition. 5. Backfill soils placed in utility trenches or behind retaining walls which support structures or other improvements shall be compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction. We will accept no responsibility for damage to structures as a result of improperly backfilled trenches. 6. Compacted fill soils that occur within 8 feet of the face of slope possess poor lateral stability, even though they have been certified to a relative compaction of 90 percent or better. Proposed structures and other improvements that are located within 8 feet of the face of compacted fill slopes could suffer differential movement as a result of the poor lateral stability of these soils. 7. Therefore, foundations and footings for the proposed structures or other improvements should be placed at least 8 feet back from the top of these slopes. Foundations placed closer to the top of slope than 8 feet should be deepened such that the face of foundation at the level of the bottom is at least 8 feet back from the face of the slope at that level. 8. Adequate measures shall be undertaken to properly finish grade the site after the structures and other improvements are in place, such that the drainage waters from within the site and the adjacent higher properties are directed away from the 4 BROWN PROJECT NO.97-1148B3 foundations, footings, floor slabs and tops of slopes via surface swales and subsurface drains towards the lower level of the building site onto the natural drainage direction for this area. Proper surface and subsurface drainage will insure that no waters will seek the level of the bearing soils under the foundations, footings and floor slabs which could result in undermining and differential settlement to the structures and other improvements. 9. Drainage should be maintained such that surface waters are not permitted to flow over the top of exposed fill slopes. 10. A safe allowable bearing value of 1500 pounds per square foot may be used when designing continuous foundations and spread footings founded a minimum of 12 inches into firm natural ground or compacted fill soils. This value may be increased by 20 percent for each additional foot of depth and/or width as set forth in the Uniform Building Code, Table No. 18-1-A. 11. Settlement of compacted fill is normal and should be anticipated. The post- construction total settlement of the compacted fill zone may be on the order of 0.5 percent of the fill thickness. Differential settlement will, therefore, occur due to varying thicknesses of the fill as well as the differential caused by other factors such as variations in the compacted soil density. The thickness and variable depth of the fill, at this site, will result in post-construction settlement that will be greater than that found in level ground construction. Occasionally, future cosmetic repairs will most likely be required to address the occasional cracks and other manifestations of movement that cannot be reduced by the structural/architectural design. 12.The results of our tests and observations indicate that the fill soils placed on the subject site have been compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density. These soils should support the proposed building structures without detrimental settlement, if the recommendations set forth in this report are adhered to. 5 BROWN PROJECT NO.97-1148B3 13.A11 statements, recommendations and conclusions made in this report are applicable only for the grading operation which we inspected and are representative of the site at the time our report was prepared. East County Testing And Lab is not to be held responsible for fill soils placed at a future time or subsequent changes to the site by others which directly or indirectly cause poor surface or subsurface drainage and/or water erosion which could alter the strength of the compacted fill soils.
