The proposed project is to install a 7' retaining wall in the backyard to replace an existing 2' wall. This will increase the useable portion of their backyard. I do not know if additional flatwork will be added. There is an existing 6" drain pipe that exists in the rear yard according to the owners. I saw the outlet of the pipe on the eastern side of their property where it discharges into a 4' wide concrete swale that accommodates the drainage for several of the lots along the eastern boundary of the subdivision. The existing 6" pipe is adequate to handle their drainage needs. As a safety factor, there is secondary surface flow outlet to the previously mentioned drainage swale before the water would get into the house, should the drainage pipe become clogged. chbthyd1 r0.

INTRODUCTION A retaining wall approximately 7-8 feet in height is planned to support the base of a graded slope in order to enlarge the pad area along the north perimeter at 348 Horizon Drive, within the City of Encinitas. A Regional Index Map depicting the property location is enclosed with this report as Plate 1. The purpose of this work was to collect representative soiVrock samples at the proposed wall location and perform necessary laboratory testing for determining pertinent wall design soil parameters. The wall design should be j completed and detailed for construction by the project structural engineer using the soil i design parameters given herein. The scope of this investigation is limited to the planned retaining wall only as delineated in this report. Other areas of the property and existing structures not investigated are beyond the scope of this report. Il. SITE CONDITIONS I PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The plan is to widen a northerly side yard at the property by cutting out lower portions of a graded slope and utilizing a nearly 65 feet long, 8 feet high maximum transition retaining wall to accommodate elevation changes. A Plot Plan depicting local conditions at the proposed wall areas is included with this report as Plate 2. The new wall will have wing returns on either side as shown. The existing graded slope is a 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) gradient manufactured embankment approximately 10'/z feet in maximum vertical height. A two-foot high block wall currently marks the toe of the graded slope as shown on Plate 2. Documentation pertaining to previous earthworks and construction at the property are not available for review. The existing short wall will be demolished and near vertical back-cuts less than 10 feet in height will be needed to construct the planned new wall. Detailed wall plans are not yet available, however, the use of a conventional masonry wall supported on shallow strip footings is anticipated. III. SITE INVESTIGATION Site conditions at the planned wall areas were chiefly determined by mapping existing exposures and the excavation of two hand-dug test pits. Both test pits were logged by our project geologist, who also retained representative soil and rock samples at selected locations and intervals for subsequent laboratory testing. Test pit locations are shown on Plate 2. Logs of the Test Pits are enclosed with this report as Plate 3. Laboratory test results are summarized in following sections.

FINDINGS The proposed wall location is currently occupied by a modest graded fill embankment. i Records of engineering observations and compaction testing 9 9 p g pertinent to the site grading and slope construction are not available for review. Landslides or other forms of slope instability are not in evidence. A Geologic Cross-Section depicting subsurface relationships based on the exposures developed in our exploratory excavations is included with this report as Plate 4. A. Earth Materials i Fill soils, likely placed during original site development, are exposed on the study slope. As encountered, the fill materials range from sandy to clayey sandy soils. t Site existing fills were typically found in moist and loose to soft conditions within the upper 2 to 3 feet grading uniformly compacted below. Formational rock units underlie the upper site fills. As exposed in Test Pit T-1, the formational rocks consist of fine to medium grained sandstone units that locally include clay, and were typically found in weathered friable and weakly to ] moderately cemented conditions overall. Project formational rocks are competent units that will adequately support fills and wall structures. Evidence to benching was noted within Test Pit T-1. B. Laboratory Testing / Results Earth deposits encountered in our exploratory test excavations were closely examined and sampled for laboratory testing. Based upon our test pit and field exposures, site soils have been grouped into the following soil types: TABLE 1 'De§cri f�on 1 brown silty sand with trace of clay (Fill/Formational Rock) 2 tan silty fine to medium sand (Fill) 3 grey to brown sandy clay to clayey sand (Fill) The following tests were conducted in support of this investigation: 1.

Direct Shear Test: Three direct shear tests were performed on representative l samples of Soil Types 1 and 3.

SITE CORROSION ASSESSMENT A site is considered to be corrosive to foundation elements, walls and drainage structures if one or more of the following conditions exists: Sulfate concentration is greater than or equal to 2000 ppm (0.2% by weight). Chloride concentration is greater than or equal to 500 ppm (0.05 % by weight). pH is less than 5.5. For structural elements, the minimum resistivity of soil (or water) indicates the relative quantity of soluble salts present in the soil (or water). In general, a minimum resistivity value for soil (or water) less than 1000 ohm-cm indicates the presence of high quantities of soluble salts and a higher propensity for corrosion. Appropriate corrosion mitigation measures for corrosive conditions should be selected depending on the service environment, amount of aggressive ion salts (chloride or sulfate), pH levels and the desired service life of the structure. Laboratory test results performed on selected representative site samples indicated that the minimum resistivity is less than 1000 ohm-cm suggesting a potential for presence of high quantities of soluble salts. However, test results further indicated that pH is greater than 5.5, sulfate concentration is less than 2000 ppm, and chloride concentration is less than 500 ppm. Based on the results of the corrosion analyses, the project site is considered non-corrosive. The project site is not located within 1000 feet of salt or brackish water. Based upon the result of the tested soil sample, the amount of water soluble sulfate (SO4) was found to be 0.013 percent by weight which is considered negligible according to the California Building Code Table No. 19-A-4. Portland cement Type II may be used. Table 9 is also appropriate based on the pH-Resistivity test results: TABLE 9 Design soil Type. -� Gage 18:'' 16 14 12 10 $. 3 Years to Perforation of Steel Culverts 24 -31 38 52 F; 81 VINJE & MIDDLETON ENGINEERING, INC. - 2450 Vineyard Avenue-Escondido,California 92029-1229 -Phone(760;,743-I214 PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION PAGE 6 348 HORIZON DRIVE, ENCINITAS, CALIFORNIA MARCH 29, 2006 VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Construction of the planned retaining wall is feasible from a geotechnical viewpoint. The existing graded embankment generally exposes compact to well compacted fills within the exception of the upper 2 to 3 feet. The wall backcut is expected to expose fills in upper exposures and formational rock near the bottom and foundation level. Formational rock units will provide suitable bearing soils for the wall support. The proposed wall should be designed and detailed for construction by the project structural engineer. The following geotechnical factors and soil design parameters are jappropriate: A. Clean-up and Clearing Surface vegetation, deleterious materials, and construction debris generated from the demolition of the existing short wall and other unsuitable materials over the l proposed wall construction areas should be removed and properly disposed of. l Trash, vegetation and construction debris shall not be allowed to occur or contaminate new site backfills. Existing underground structures, pipes and utilities should be pot-holed, identified and marked prior to the actual work. All irrigation lines should be properly removed j from the construction areas. Abandoned irrigation lines should be properly capped 1 and sealed off to prevent any future water infiltrations into the foundation bearing and backfill soils. Voids created by the removals of the abandoned underground pipes and structures should be properly backfilled with compacted fills in accordance with the requirements of this report. B. Excavations, Temporary Slopes and Wall Back-cuts Excavations and soil removals along the base of the existing embankment fill slope will be required for completing wall construction as planned. The excavations will create temporary construction backcut slopes which are expected to be on the order of 10 feet high maximum (including foundation trench depths). Temporary backcut slope created by the removal operations and wall foundation trenching may be constructed at near vertical gradient within the lower 5 feet and laid back at Y2:1 gradient maximum within the upper portions. The back-cut slope developed as recommended herein will be grossly stable with respect to deep seated and surficial failures for the indicated maximum vertical heights for temporary conditions. The construction slope should be protected from rain and irrigation water. Stockpiling the removed soils atop the construction slope should also not be allowed.

Periodic inspections of the temporary back cut should be performed by the project geotechnical consultant. The need for flatter slope gradients, completing wall construction in limited alternating sections or the need for shoring structures should I be determined based on actual field exposures and may be anticipated. The contractor shall also obtain appropriate permits, as necessary, and conform to Cal-OSHA and local governing agencies for a safe construction site and protection of the workmen. C. Foundation Trenching and Bearing Soils Preparations 1 Based on our exploratory excavations, wall foundation trenching is expected to mostly expose competent formational units which can suitably support the new ! wall. However, locally compacted fills may also be exposed at the bottom of foundation trenches. Bearing soils transition from undisturbed formational units to i placed fills should not be permitted underneath the proposed wall foundations. i Wall foundations should be supported entirely on compacted fills or founded entirely on competent bedrock. In the case of bearing soils transitioning, the undisturbed formational rock portions of the foundation trenches should be over- excavated to a minimum of 12 inches below the bottom of the footing and reconstructed to design grades as properly compacted fills. Existing fills exposed l elsewhere at the bottom of the trench should also be prepared, moisture conditioned and recompacted in-place as part of bearing soils preparations as directed in the field. 1 Alternatively, wall foundations may be uniformly founded on competent formational units as approved by the project geotechnical consultant. For this purpose, the wall foundations in the fill exposure areas should be additionally deepened extending through the fills and embedded a minimum of 18 inches into the underlying formational rocks as approved in the field. Wall foundation trenches should be embedded at least 18 inches into the underlying competent undisturbed formational units, or well compacted fills as approved in the field by the project geotechnical consultant or his designated representative. Foundation trenches should expose approved bearing soils throughout. Wall foundation width (and actual size) per structural design is based on the soil design parameters given herein. Foundation bearing fill soils should be manufactured into a uniform mixture, moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture levels, placed in thin horizontal lifts and mechanically compacted to at least 90% of the corresponding laboratory maximum density value per ASTM D-1557, unless otherwise specified.

Wall Back Drainage A back drainage system consisting of a minimum 4-inch diameter, Schedule 40 (SDR 35) perforated pipe, surrounded in a minimum of 3 cubic feet (minimum 12 inches wide by 36 inches high) per foot of%-inch crushed rocks, wrapped in filter fabric (Mirafi 140 N), or Caltrans Class 2 permeable aggregate will be necessary behind the new retaining wall. Filter fabric can be eliminated if Caltrans Class 2 permeable material is used. The invert of the subdrainage perforated pipe should be established at suitable elevations to ensure positive drainage into an approved drainage facility via a 4-inch diameter solid outlet pipe (SDR 35). The location of ! the proposed back drain should be inspected and approved by the project ! geotechnical consultant in the field. The wall back drain should be constructed in substantial accordance with the enclosed Plate 5. E. Backfill Materials and Compaction On-site soils are generally considered suitable for wall backfills. However, attempt should be made to selectively separate better quality sandy soils from more clayey deposits for reuse as backfill soils as directed in the field. More clayey sand to sandy clay soils generated from the site excavations should be properly removed and disposed of as part of the required export operations. Backfill soils should be adequately processed, manufactured into a uniform mixture, moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture levels, placed in thin horizontal lifts and mechanically compacted to at least 90% of the corresponding laboratory maximum density value per ASTM D-1557, unless otherwise specified. The temporary back-cut behind the wall should be properly benched out and the wall backfills tightly keyed-in into the construction slope as the backfilling progresses. In the event of narrow clearance between the face of the back-cut and back side of the stem, the wall may be backfilled above the back drain with 3%-inch crushed rocks to 18 inches below the top of wall. A layer of Mirafi 50OX soil separation Geotextile should then be placed over the crushed rocks, and the upper 18 inches backfilled with a minimum 90% compacted on-site better quality granular soils. s F. Soil Design Parameters The following preliminary soil design parameters are based upon tested representative samples of on-site earth deposits: Design wet density = 126 pcf. Design angle of internal friction = 31 degrees.

However, because large movements must take place before maximum - passive resistance can be developed, a safety factor of 2 may be considered for sliding stability where sensitive structures and improvements are planned near or on top of retaining walls. • When combining passive pressure and frictional resistance the passive component should be reduced by one-third. * The net allowable foundation pressures provided herein were determined for footings having a minimum width of 12 inches and a minimum depth of 18 inches. These values may be increased by 20% for each additional depth and width to a maximum of 4500 psf, if needed. The allowable foundation pressures provided herein also applies to dead plus live loads and may be - increased by one-third for wind and seismic loading. * The allowable lateral bearing earth pressures may be increased by the amount of the designated value for each additional foot of depth to a maximum 1500 pounds per square foot.

Engineering Inspections All wall foundation trenching and backfilling, including stability of the temporary back-cut slope, back drain installations, suitability of earth deposits used as compacted backfill, and compaction procedures should be continuously inspected and tested by the project geotechnical consultant and presented in the final as- graded wall backfill compaction report. Geotechnical engineering inspections shall include, but not limited to the following: t * Temporary back-cut slope inspection -After clean-up but during removals and j excavations. Local and Cal-OSHA safety requirements for open excavations apply. * Foundation trench inspection - After the foundation trench excavations but before steel placement. * Backfill inspection -After the backfill placement is started but before the vertical height of fill/backfill exceeds 2 feet. There should be a minimum of one test for each 2 feet vertical gain within every 25 linear feet of backfill. Finish grade tests shall be required regardless of fill thickness. * Foundation bearing soils inspection - After foundation soils preparations but prior to the placement of concrete for proper moisture and specified compaction levels. In the case of compacted fills bearing soils, there should be a minimum of one test in every 25 linear feet of trench. * Geotechnical foundation steel inspection - After the steel placement is completed but before the scheduled concrete pour. * Wall back drain inspection - during the actual placement. All material shall conform to the project material specifications and approved by the project geotechnical engineer. H. Surface Drainage Control Surface water should be directed away from the top of wall. Final backfill surface should be adequately held below the top of wall to disallow overflow of surface run- off. A drainage ditch should be considered along the top of the wall for proper collection and disposal of surface waters. Area drains should be installed. Water collected in the area/areas should be directed into a suitable outlet via a solid non- perforated pipe.

Staking and Grading Control Adequate staking and construction control are critical factors in properly completing the recommended work. Construction control and staking should be provided by the project grading contractor, or surveyor/civil engineer and is beyond the geotechnical engineering services. Inadequate staking and/or lack of grading control may result in unnecessary additional grading which will increase construction costs. J. Construction Plans and Geotechnical Plan Review A qualified civil engineer may be consulted to prepare accurate plans and construction details for the proposed new wall and associated drainage improvements. Final plans should reflect preliminary recommendations given in this report. Final foundations and wall plans may also be reviewed by the project geotechnical consultant for conformance with the requirements of the geotechnical investigation report outlined herein. More specific recommendations may be necessary and should be given when final grading and architectural/structural drawings are available. K. Preconstruction Conference A preconstruction meeting between representatives of the project geotechnical consultant, the property owner or planner, city inspector, project civil engineer and contractor, is recommended in order to discuss grading and construction details associated with the slope repairs. L. General Recommendations 1. Open or backfilled trenches parallel with a footing hall not be below a projected 9 P J plane having a downward slope of 1-unit vertical to 2-units horizontal (50%) from a line 9 inches above the bottom edge of the footing, and not closer than 18 inches form the face of such footing. 2. Where pipes cross under-footings, the footings shall be specially designed. Pipe sleeves shall be provided where pipes cross through footings or footing walls, and sleeve clearances shall provide for possible footing settlement, but not less than 1-inch all around the pipe. 3. Foundations where the surface of the ground slopes more than 1-unit vertical in 10-units horizontal (10% slope) shall be level or shall be stepped so that both top and bottom of such foundations are level. Individual steps in continuous VINJE & MIDDLETON ENGINEERING, INC. • 240 Vineyard Avenue•Escondido,California 92029-1229•Phone(760) - ( )743 L,I4 PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION PAGE 12 348 HORIZON DRIVE, ENCINITAS, CALIFORNIA MARCH 29, 2006 footings shall not exceed 18 inches in height, and the slope of a series of such steps shall not exceed 1-unit vertical to 2-units horizontal (50%) unless otherwise specified. The steps shall be detailed on the structural drawings. The local effects due to the discontinuity of the steps shall also be considered in the design of foundations as appropriate and applicable. VII. LIMITATIONS The conclusions and recommendations provided herein have been based on all available data obtained from our field observations, exploratory excavations and laboratory analyses, as well as our experience with the soils and formational materials located in the general area. The materials encountered on the project site and utilized in our laboratory testing are believed representative of the total area; however, earth materials may vary in characteristics between excavations. Of necessity we must assume a certain degree of continuity between exploratory excavations and/or natural exposures. It is necessary, therefore, that all observations, conclusions, and recommendations be verified during the grading operation. In the event discrepancies are noted, we should be contacted immediately so that an inspection can be made and additional recommendations issued if required. The recommendations made in this report are applicable to the site at the time this report was prepared. It is the responsibility of the owner/developer to ensure that these recommendations are carried out in the field. It is almost impossible to predict with certainty the future performance of a property. The future behavior of the site is also dependent on numerous unpredictable variables, such as earthquakes, rainfall, and on-site drainage patterns. The firm of VINJE & MIDDLETON ENGINEERING, INC., shall not be held responsible for changes to the physical conditions of the property such as addition of fill soils, added cut slopes, or changing drainage patterns which occur without our inspection or control. This report should be considered valid for a period of one year and is subject to review by our firm following that time. If significant modifications are made to your tentative development plan, especially with respect to the height and location of cut and fill slopes, this report must be presented to us for review and possible revision. This report is issued with the understanding that the owner or his representative is responsible to ensure that the information and recommendations are provided to the project architect/structural engineer so that they can be incorporated into the plans. Necessary steps shall be taken to ensure that the project -general contractor and subcontractors carry out such recommendations during construction.

The project soils engineer should also be provided the opportunity to verify the foundations prior the placing of concrete. If the project soils engineer is not provided the opportunity of making these reviews, he can assume no responsibility for misinterpretation of his recommendations. Vinje & Middleton Engineering, Inc., warrants that this report has been prepared within the limits prescribed by our client with the usual thoroughness and competence of the engineering profession. No other warranty or representation, either expressed or implied, is included or intended.
