SCOPE
This report presents the results of our limited geotechnical investigation and geologic
evaluation for the proposed new residence, which will replace the existing residence,to be
demolished as part of the proposed construction at 104 Neptune Avenue, in the City of
Encinitas, California. Please see Figure No. 1, Site Vicinity Map", and Figure No. 2, "Site
Location Map". The purpose of our study was to evaluate the geologic and geotechnical
conditions at the coastal bluff property and provide recommendations relative to the
Proposed construction. The scope of our work has included the following:
Review of aerial photographs, topographic maps,
reports and project plans pertaining to the site and general vicinity. A list of the
items reviewed is presented in Appendix A.

SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
For the purpose of this report, the front of the residence is assumed to face east. The
subject property consists of an irregular shaped lot located on the west side of Neptune
Avenue at Sylvia Street, in the City of Encinitas, California. The property is bordered to
the north and south by single family residences, to the west by a descending coastal bluff
(approximately 60 feet high), and to the east by Neptune Avenue. The topography of the
site is gently to moderately sloping, from a high point along the western property line to
of bluff), to a low along Neptune Avenue. Drainage is accomplished via sheet flow runoff
along the sides of the house.
Currently the site is improved by a one story single family residence (hereafter referred to
as the main residence)and a detached lower level garage with upper dwelling unit.
improvements consists of masonry site wall flanking the north and south property�nesr
terraced retaining walls at the front of the building, typical concrete walkways, a concrete
patio at the south side of the residence, and a canopy covered concrete patio at the
northwest corner of the site, immediately above the bluff. At the top of the bluff exists a

small +/- 12-18 inch high masonry type retaining wall (hereafter referred to as top of bluff
wall) with viewing glass which delineates the yard and improved landscape (to the east
from the natural bluff (to the west). Beyond the top of bluff wall to the west (on the bluff
face) exists a series of small wood lagged type retaining structures, which have rotated
outward slightly, and have been tied (via tension cables) back to the top of bluff masonry
wall. The site walls at the north and south property lines extend to the to of bluff wall. At
the connection point, the site walls are generally intact and show no obvious evidence of
tension type cracking or other influences of bluff movement.
Based upon conversations with the project designer and review of plans we understand
the proposed site modifications will consist of the following:
Demolition of the existing main residence and construction of a new building with
a basement.
The basement elevation of the building will lie roughly at elevation 56 foot and will
require temporary retaining wall back cuts and the export of soil material.
Rear portion of the building is designed with a cantilever upper deck type

BLUFF DESCRIPTION
Cross sections,a geologic map and photographs depicting the general configuration of:the
bluff are provided in Figures 7 and 8 (Cross Sections); Figure 9 (Geologic Map); and
Appendix E (Photos 1-6) . The following is a summary of the onsite bluff conditions.
The bluff flanking the western side of the site consists of an approximately 21-foot high
near-vertical sea cliff at the base of the approximately 60-foot high coastal bluff (see
Appendix E, Photos 1-6). Flanking the southern side of the exposed bluff is an area of
apparent fill (mapped by others as Landslide Deposits) placed for unknown reasons, and
apparently prior to the development of the southern neighboring lot (pre 1960's). At the
base of the fill is large rip rap.
The exposed sea cliff portion of the bluff is not vegetated and generally

The protruding configuration of sandstone tributary to the site serves as ae natural
reventment, protecting the bluff from concentrated erosion and undermining. Indications
of sea cave development were not observed at the site.
The portion of bluff overlying the sea cliff(approximately
at an overall gradient of a pproximately 32 vertical feet)generally slopes
pproximately 35 degrees(through Section A-A) and is vegetated
with succulents. Old irrigation pipes (abandoned)and railroad tie retaining walls lie at the

upper section of the bluff, immediately beyond the property line. The uppermost 15 feet
is steeper with a gradient varying from 50-60 degrees. This upper portion of the bluff is
generally vegetated with ice plant. Bluff protection devices were not observed on the
subject bluff and adjacent portions of the coastal bluff.
The fill lying southwest of the site exhibited evidence of small surficial slides at the upper
reaches of the slope. The fill is sparsely covered with dead ice plant. The fill shows no
obvious evidence of significant sea wave scouring beyond the rip rap. The existence of
the fill appears to pre-date 1960 aerial photographs. Others have mapped the feature as
Landslide Deposits. In our opinion, the "fill' characteristics of the deposit are evidenced
by the protrusion of the soil mass beyond the base of bluff, without obvious mass loss
above. In general, it appears the feature consists of import fill pushed over the bluff face
and buttressed with rip rap (too much soil at upper bluff to be Qls).
FIELD INVESTIGATION
Our field investigation of the property, conducted on September 18, 2002, consisted of a
site reconnaissance, site field measurements, observation of existing conditions on site
and adjacent public access lands and a limited subsurface investigation of soil conditions.
Our subsurface investigation included excavation of two exploratory borings, logging of soil
types encountered and sampling of soils for laboratory testing. Logs of the borings are
presented in Figures No. 4 and 5 of this report. The locations of the test pits are given
in Figure No. 3, "Site Plan/Location of Test Pits".
SUBSOIL CONDITIONS
Fill materials, placed during the original grading of the site, were encountered to an
approximate depth of 30 inches below adjacent grade in our exploratory test pits. Soil types
encountered within our test pits are described as follows:

Topsoil materials were encountered to a depth of 24 inches below adjacent grade
in our borings. Topsoil materials consist of rust brown, moist, medium dense,
slightly silty sands. These materials are not considered suitable for the support
of structures and structural improvements, but may be utilized as re-
compacted fill during grading, if necessary, provided the recommendations
of this report are followed. Topsoil materials classify as SW-SM according to the
Unified Soil Classification System,and based on visual observation,are considered
to possess low to medium expansion potentials.

Terrace Deposits•
Terrace Deposits (sandstone)were found to underlie the fill material within boring
excavations. Terrace Deposits consist of rust brown,
silty sand. These materials are considered suitable tforethe support
structures and structural improvements pport of
this report are followed. Terrace Deposits o classify as SW according din to the
Unified Soil Classification System, and based on visual observation and our

Clean friable sands were encountered in boring B-1 from 9'-18' and B-2 from 10'-
20'. The clean sand layer has been modeled in our slope stability study, attached
to this report as Appendix D.
Torrey Sandstone
Torrey Sandstone was found below Terrace Deposits within Boring 1. Torrey
sandstone consists of tan, moist, very dense, sandstone. These materials are
considered suitable for the support of structures and structural
improvements, provided the recommendations of this report are followed.
Torrey Sandstone classifies as SW according to the Unified Soil Classification
System, and based on visual observation and our experience, possess an
expansion potential of low.
For detailed logs of soil types encountered within our exploratory borings, as well as a
depiction of the boring location, please see Figure No. 3, Site Plan/Location of Exploratory
Borings", and Figures No. 4-5 , "Boring Logs".
GEOLOGIC STRUCTURE
The Torrey Sandstone in the vicinity of the subject property is nearly flat-lying and is locally
cross-bedded. Bedding in the Quaternary terrace deposits can be observed as faint,
alternating light and dark laminations. Where observed on site and in the general site
vicinity,the terrace deposits appear to be horizontally bedded with localized cross bedding.
No major out-of-slope dip components were noted on site that would indicate adverse
slope conditions. Indications of deep-seated landslide features were not observed during
our research studies or site visits.

FAULTS
Our review of geologic literature (Appendix A) pertaining to the general site area indicates
that there are no known major or active faults on or in the immediate vicinity of the site.
Indications of active faulting or adversely-oriented joints were not observed in the subject
coastal bluff. The nearest known active faults are the Rose Canyon fault located offshore
approximately 4 miles west of the site, the Coronado Bank fault located offshore
approximately 18 miles west, and the Elsinore fault located approximately 21 miles
northeast of the site. The San Andreas fault is located approximately 80 miles northeast
of the site.

Tsunami or storm waves (associated with winter storms), even in conjunction with hi h
tides, do not have the potential for inundation of the bluff-top building site. g
GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATER
Groundwater seepage was not observed on site or in the general site vicinity during our
site visits Based on our experience and observations, groundwater is estimated to lie at
or near sea level at the base of the coastal bluff. Groundwater is not considered a
constraint to the proposed new residence. The bluff-top surface waters shall drain drain
toward Pacific Avenue.
HISTORIC RESEARCH SUMMARY

1. The 1960 aerial photo series depicts the main house onsite and residence to the
south. The property to the north is vacant. The property appears to have been
recently developed. Bluff configuration is similar as to what exists today. The fill
south of the site appears to be in place.
2. The 1975 aerial photo series depict the site is fully developed, similar to today's
configuration.
3. The 1983 aerial photo series again depicts the site as fully developed, similar to
today's configuration. NO obvious change from 1982-1983 winter rains.
Our review indicates that the subject coastal bluff is generally similar in configuration in the
1960, 1975 and 1983 series photos. The bluff edge appears to generally coincide with the
top of the bluff observed during our field studies (see Figure 9).
COASTAL BLUFF RETREAT
The coastline in the vicinity of the subject property is straight with slight indentations along
its length (see Figure 1). The site is located on one of the headlands along the coast.
Mechanisms for seacliff retreat at the site include abrasion and undercutting by marine
erosion (wave action) of the hard, erosion-resistant Toney Sandstone bedrock exposed
in the near-vertical seacliff. Storm surf and high tides contribute to the natural process of
marine erosion. Other factors affecting the rate of retreat of a near-vertical seacliff at the
toe of a coastal bluff include degree of fracturing,
steepness of slope, groundwater and surface water conditions,
ond t o�s, vegetation or lack of, and
intensity of pedestrian and animal traffic.
In response to the landward retreat of the seacliff, the overlying coastal bluff becomes
undermined and also retreats landward. Mechanisms contributing to bluff retreat include
failure of overhanging bedrock projections,shallow failure of oversteepened portions of the
bluff-face terrace deposits, and rilling and ravelling of the terrace deposits. Portions of
coastal bluffs are also exposed to precipitation,wind,
in landscape, landscape maintenance, and other activities by humanserosion, variations
During our studies, we did not observe indications of deep-seated instability, such as
ancient or active landslides, on or in the immediate vicinity of the site, and the geologic
formations that comprise the coastal bluff at the site are not known to be prone to large,
deep-seated failures.

COASTAL BLUFF-EDGE RETREAT RATES
The rate and magnitude of coastal bluff retreat at a specific site are dependent on a variety
Of factors, both natural and manmade. Many of these factors are ongoing
historical documentation can be helpful in estimating g g processes and
similarly-affected coastal bluff areas. However, there are otherefactorsraffectin s along
bluff retreat that cannot be estimated from historic documentation. Such factors include coastal
future human activities or possible extreme variations in regional weather patterns.
Detrimental changes in factors affecting bluff-edge retreat, such as misdirected drainage,
water line breaks, heavy storm surf and/or precipitation, could increase the rate of erosion.
However, favorable changes in the factors affecting bluff-edge retreat could also decrease
the rate of erosion. Some of these include proper maintenance of a bluff-stabilizin
vegetative cover, enhanced site drainage provisions and beach sand replenishment. g
Research studies along the San Diego coast and historic photograph and map review are
components in providing an estimation of the rate of bluff-edge retreat. We assume that
the historical retreat rate may give an indication of the future retreat rate at a
However, accurate and clear photographic and map documentation for measuring retreat
is not always available or are of fairly short time intervals so changes may b
noticeable. y e
Lee and others (Appendix A, Reference 6)performed research studies of regional historic
sea cliff retreat and estimated a maximum annual bluff-edge retreat rate of 0.22 to 0.33
feet per year. Over a 75-year period (assumed to be the economic lifetime of the new
construction), this equates to a conservative estimate of bluff-edge retreat of a maximum
of 16.5 to 24.8 feet. This maximum is based on research studies of regional historic bluff
retreat that Includes coastal bluffs with generally favorable conditions, as well as coastal
bluffs that are affected by more adverse conditions (highly fractured, sea caves,
groundwater seepage, human activities, etc.). The estimated values of maximum retreat
are very conservative, and the actual rate of bluff retreat at the subject property is expected
to be less considering the site conditions and historic bluff retreat at the site.
Sea cave formation and subsequent collapse are localized factors in the bluff
process. Indications of sea cave development were not observed at the subject pro ert retreat
during our site visits. p y

significantly retreated since the 1960's. It is very difficult to predict the future and the
magnitude of bluff-edge retreat that may occur in one year, during one storm event or over
the 75-year assumed economic lifetime of the new construction. The rate of coastal bluff
retreat over a particular interval of time (day, year, decade, etc.) may vary from very little
to several tenths of a foot. However, severe erosion is generally episodic in nature and is
dependent on the intensity of storms and combined high tides (or man's detrimental
actions). It is probable that several feet of coastal bluff retreat could occur at one time.
However, it is also likely that there will be periods in the future when erosion along the
coast is rather insignificant and undetectable. Erosion is a naturally-occurring process that
is affected by human actions. With time, the bluff edge will retreat landward
It is our opinion that the new construction, proposed to be set back a minimum of 40 feet
from the bluff edge, will not be endangered by coastal bluff retreat over the next 75 years.
Existing improvements inside the setback zone, may in the future become undermined
(within the 75 year life span) by bluff-edge retreat and may need to be removed from the
site.
SLOPE STABILITY CALCULATIONS
A computer-generated slope stability analysis was performed on the coastal bluff at the
site. The slope stability was analyzed using Bishops simplified and 'Janbu's Modified
Method' with the XSTABLE computer program. The slope stability calculations are
included in Appendix D. The soil strength parameters used in our analysis are presented
below. These values are based on laboratory test results, back-calculation, our past
experience in this area, and our professional judgement.
Our analysis work includes an assumed "worst case" cohesionless sand tense
thicknesses of 10 feet along the coastal bluff face (see x-section), lying immediately atop
the Torrey Sandstone. Design values formulated by Group Delta to model the sand layer,
on other sites along the coast, conservatively use design values of cohesion = 0 and Phi
= 32 degrees.

Based on our analysis, it is our opinion that the existing coastal bluff has a factor of safety

sections, circle and block type analysis, earthquake forces and assumption of unfavorable

GEOLOGIC and GEOTECHNICAL CONCLUSIONS
Bluff Retreat
Based on our Geologic Evaluation and Limited Geotechnical Investigation at the site, it is
our opinion that the proposed residence new residence is feasible from a geotechnical
standpoint. It is our opinion that the proposed new residence (and the additional loading
from this relatively light bluff-top construction)will not adversely impact the existing coastal
bluff. Based on our field studies, research and engineering and geologic analysis, it is our
opinion the proposed construction should not be affected by the maximum anticipated
coastal bluff retreat processes during its economic lifetime(assumed to be 75 years)if the
addition is set back a minimum of 40 feet from the bluff edge as planned and mapped
herein.

Slope Stability and Erosion
Our geotechnical evaluation of the present overall static stability on the subject property
indicates that the bluff is grossly stable. In its present state, the slope has a low to
moderate potential for erosional rilling and future surficial instability. We provide the
following recommendations to help reduce erosion of the bluff and to reduce potential for
future instability of the bluff face.
1. Irrigation of the landscape areas on the property should be curtailed, and limited to
manual watering within the setback zone. The amount of manual irrigation onsite
should be limited to the minimum amount required to establish vegetation and
maintain plant vigor. The upper portion of the subject coastal bluff and the bluff edge
are currently moderately to well vegetated. At this time, it is our opinion that
modifications to the vegetation should not be considered.
2. Adequate drainage precautions at this site are imperative and will play a critical role
on the future performance of the bluff, dwelling and improvements. Under no
circumstances should surface water be allowed to pond or flow toward the bluff.
Roof gutters and downspouts shall be installed on the new and existing structures
and tightlined to the area drain system. All drains should be kept clean and
unclogged, including gutters and downspouts. All surface runoff water should drain
away from the structure and top of bluff with a minimum slope of 2%for a horizontal
distance of 7 feet (where possible). Area drains or surface swales should then be
provided to accommodate runoff and avoid any ponding of water. The area drain
system shall consists of non perforated smooth wall drainage pipe(PVC SDR-35 or
better) with chemically welded joints, as sized and designed by the project civil
engineer. Area drains should be kept free of debris to allow for proper drainage.
During fine grading of the property, subsequent building construction, adequate
clearance shall be left from finish soil grade to building framing lumber as prescribed
by code. It is advisable to meet with the project landscaper during this phase of the
project so that proposed import topsoil may be accounted for in determining finish
grade elevation against the building stemwall.
During periods of heavy rain, the performance of all drainage systems should be
inspected. Problems such as gullying or ponding should be corrected as soon as
possible. Any leakage from sources such as water lines should also be repaired as
soon as possible. In addition, irrigation of planter areas, lawns, or other vegetation,
located adjacent to the foundation or exterior flat work improvements, should be
strictly controlled or avoided.

3. Pedestrian and animal traffic on the bluff face and bluff edge should not be allowed
since pedestrian/animal traffic increases erosion.
Bluff-Tot) Setback
Based on our review of the project plans, the proposed new residence will be set back a
minimum of 40 feet from the bluff edge. It is our opinion that the proposed setback will
safeguard the proposed construction from bluff-edge retreat during the economic lifetime
of the addition.
Proposed Building Construction
The proposed site construction will involve basement cuts and export of soil , effectively
reducing"driving"forces at the upper bluff. The building will incorporate a cantilever design
along the west elevation. The building will utilize a mat type foundation at the basement
to dissipate the increased loading from the cantilever design. In general, the proposed
building construction as currently proposed will not pose an increase threat to the stability
of the bluff.
Seismic Considerations
Ground shaking would be the primary seismic hazard at the site. The possibility of ground
rupture is considered minimal since no active faults are known to cross the site. The
potential for liquefaction or seismically-induced ground settlement is very low. In general,
the role seismic shaking plays in bluff retreat is dependent on bluff conditions at the
moment of shaking. It is possible that some of the bedrock projections may fail as the
result of severe ground shaking at the site. However, it is our opinion that the potential for
deep-seated or severe, catastrophic failure of the coastal bluff property due to expected
seismic ground shaking is low at the site. This conclusion is supported
static slope stability of the bluff which indicates a factor of safety n excess of 1.1 rPseudo
GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Eart hwork
It is our understanding earthwork will be limited to excavation of the basement and front
driveway area and general fine grading for drainage. Our investigation indicates
excavations will remove all overlying fill materials, exposing Terrace Deposits. Our
recommendation is for minimal excavation beyond the basement footprint, limited to that

required to ensure safety (per OSHA requirements) and allow for installation of
waterproofing. Utilizing a standard 4' vertical cut and 1:1 sloped backcut will result in
excavations of approximately 9'beyond the basement footprint. Portions of the excavation
at the north and south property lines will require shoring to avoid over steepened cuts or
offsite excavation. Any grading should be performed in accordance with the following
recommendations, pertinent county/city standards, and grading specifications provided in
Appendix C of this report.
1- Site Preparation:
Existing structures and improvements should be removed with minimal
disturbance to the onsite soil. During demolition operations, protective fencing
should be placed at the rear of the property to prevent heavy equipment access
within the 40'setback zone. Further, all necessary steps should be taken to direct
site runoff away from the bluff Removed vegetation and debris shall be properly
disposed of prior to the commencement of any fill operations. Holes resulting from
the removal of debris, existing structures, or other improvements, which extend
below the undercut depths noted, are to be filled and compacted using onsite
material or a non-expansive import material. All grading and site clearing should
be limited to those areas defined as "acceptable" per Appendix C of this report.
2. Fills•
The area of"fill" is anticipated to be limited to behind retaining walls. In general,
Areas to receive fill and/or structural improvements should be compacted to at
least 90 percent relative compaction(based on ASTM D1557-91). Compacted fills
should be cleaned of loose debris, oversize material in excess of 6 inches in
diameter, brought to near optimum moisture content, and re-compacted to at least
90 percent relative compaction (based on ASTM D1557-91). All fill slopes should
be compacted to 90 percent relative compaction to slope face and planted in order
to avoid erosion and sloughage.
Fills should generally be placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in thickness.
If the import of soil is planned, the soils should be non-expansive and free of
debris and organic matter. Prior to importing, soils should be visually
observed, sampled and tested at the borrow pit area to evaluate soil suitability
as fill.
Foundations
We anticipate that the proposed building foundation system will consists of conventional

shallow foundation system with retaining walls and concrete slab-on-grade floor system.
In deriving foundation recommendations for this site, the subsoil conditions as well as
the proposed new construction were evaluated.
The following foundation recommendations assume a non-expansive subsoil condition
(i.e., Expansive Index less than 50). Minimum design parameters for foundations are as
follows:
1. Footings bearing in competent formational materials may be designed utilizing
maximum allowable soils pressure of 2,000 psf.
2. Project structural engineer should design the basement foundation for a mat type
foundation.

competent soil material if mitigative grading is not conducted. (See Foundation
Note #8)
6. All footings should be reinforced with a minimum of two#4 bars at the top and two
#4 bars at the bottom (3 inches above the ground). For footings over 30 inches in
depth, additional reinforcement, and possibly a stemwall system will be necessary.
This detail should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by our office prior to
construction.
7. All isolated spread footings should be designed utilizing the above given bearing
values and footing depths, and be reinforced with a minimum of #4 bars at 12
inches o.c. in each direction (3 inches above the ground). Isolated spread footings
should have a minimum width of 24 inches.
7. Forfootings adjacent to slopes, a minimum 15 feet horizontal setback in formational
material or properly compacted fill should be maintained. A setback measurement
should be taken at the horizontal distance from the bottom of the footing to slope
daylight. Where this condition can not be met it should be brought to the attention
of the Engineering Design Group for review.
8. All excavations should be performed in general accordance with the contents of this
report, applicable codes, OSHA requirements and applicable city and/or county
standards.
9. All foundation subgrade soils shall be pre-moistened a minimum of 18 inches in
depth prior to the pouring of concrete.
10. Where testing span across backfill wedges, this detail should be observed by our
office prior to construction for potential upgrade.
Concrete Slabs on Grade
Concrete slabs on grade should use the following as the minimum design parameters:
1. Concrete slabs on grade of the garage should have a minimum thickness of 4.5
inches (5 inches at garage and driveway locations) and should be reinforced with
#4 bars at 18 inches o.c. placed at the midpoint of the slab.
All concrete shall be poured per the following:
• Slump: Between 3 and 4 inches maximum
• Aggregate Size: 3/4 - 1 inch
FINN RESIDENCE

• Air Content: 5 to 8 percent
• Moisture retarding additive in concrete at moisture
sensitive areas.
• Water to cement Ratio - 0.5 maximum
2. All required fills used to support slabs, should be placed in accordance with the
earthwork section of this report and the attached Appendix B, and compacted to 90
percent Modified Proctor Density, ASTM D-1557.
3. A uniform layer of 4 inches of clean sand is recommended under the slab in order
to more uniformly support the slab (sand equivalent <50), help distribute loads to
the soils beneath the slab, and act as a capillary break. In addition, a visqueen
layer (10 mil) should be placed mid-height in the sand bed to act as a vapor
retarder.
4. Adequate control joints should be installed to control the unavoidable cracking of
concrete that takes place when undergoing its natural shrinkage during curing. The
control joints should be well located to direct unavoidable slab cracking to areas that
are desirable by the designer.
5. All subgrade soils to receive concrete flatwork are to be pre-soaked to 2 percent
over optimum moisture content to a depth of 24 inches.
6 Brittle floor finishes placed directly on slab on grade floors may crack if concrete
is not adequately cured prior to installing the finish or if there is minor slab
movement. To minimize potential damage to movement sensitive flooring, we
recommend the use of slip sheeting techniques (linoleum type) which allows for
foundation and slab movement without transmitting this movement to the floor
finishes.
7. Exterior concrete flatwork and driveway slabs, due to the nature of concrete
hydration and minor subgrade soil movement,are subject to normal minor concrete
cracking. To minimize expected concrete cracking, the following may be
implemented:
• Concrete slump should not exceed 4 inches.
• Concrete should be poured during "cool' (40 - 65 degrees) weather if
possible. If concrete is poured in hotter weather, a set retarding additive
should be included in the mix, and the slump kept to a minimum.
• Concrete subgrade should be pre-soaked prior to the pouring of concrete.

GEOTECHNICAL,CIVIL,STRUCTURAL&ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANTS
The level of pre-soaking should be a minimum of 2%over optimum moisture
to a depth of 24 inches.
• Concrete may be poured with a 10 inch deep thickened edge.
• Concrete should be constructed with tooled joints or sawcuts (1 inch deep)
creating concrete sections no larger than 225 sf. For sidewalks, the
maximum run between joints should not exceed 5 feet. For rectangular
shapes of concrete, the ratio of length to width should generally not exceed
0.6 (i.e., 5 ft. long by 3 ft. wide). Joints should be cut at expected points of
concrete shrinkage (such as male corners), with diagonal reinforcement
placed in accordance with industry standards.
• Drainage adjacent to concrete flatwork should direct water away from the
improvement. Concrete subgrade should be sloped and directed to the
collective drainage system, such that water is not trapped below the flatwork.
• The recommendations set forth herein are intended to reduce cosmetic
nuisance cracking. The project concrete contractor is ultimately responsible
for concrete quality and performance, and should pursue a cost-benefit
analysis of these recommendations, and other options available in the
industry, prior to the pouring of concrete.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls up to 10 feet may be designed and constructed in accordance with the
following recommendations and minimum design parameters:
1. Retaining wall footings should be designed in accordance with the allowable bearing
criteria given in the "Foundations" section of this report.
2. Unrestrained cantilever retaining walls should be designed using an active
equivalent fluid pressure of 35 pcf. This assumes that granular, free-draining
material will be used for backfill, and that the backfill surface will be level. For
sloping backfill, the following parameters may be utilized:
Condition 2:1 Slope 1.5:1 Slope
Active 50 65
Any other surcharge loadings shall be analyzed in addition to the above values.
3. If the tops of retaining walls are restrained from movement,they should be designed
for an additional uniform soil pressure of 65 psf, at rest pressure.
FINN RESIDENCE Page No.18
104 NEPTUNE AVENUE, ENCINITAS, CA Job No.022903-1
ENGINEERING DESIGN GROUP
GEOTECHNICAL,CIVIL,STRUCTURAL&ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANTS
4. Passive soil resistance may be calculated using an equivalent fluid pressure of 250
pcf. This value assumes that the soil being utilized to resist passive pressures,
extends horizontally 2.5 times the height of the passive pressure wedge of the soil.
Where the horizontal distance of the available passive pressure wedge is less than
2.5 times the height of the soil, the passive pressure value must be reduced by the
percent reduction in available horizontal length.
5. A coefficient of friction of 0.35 between the soil and concrete footings may be
utilized to resist lateral loads in addition to the passive earth pressures above.
6. Retaining walls should be braced and monitored during compaction. If this cannot
be accomplished, the compactive effort should be included as a surcharge load
when designing the wall.
7. All walls shall be provided with adequate back drainage to relieve hydrostatic
pressure, and be designed in accordance with the minimum standards contained
in the 'Retaining Wall Drainage Detail", Appendix B.
8. Retaining wall backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with the
"Earthwork"section of this report. Backfill shall consist of a non-expansive granular,
free-draining material.
CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION AND TESTING
The recommendations provided in this report are based on subsurface conditions
disclosed by our investigation of the project area. Interpolated subsurface conditions
should be verified in the field during construction. The following items shall be conducted
prior/during construction by a representative of Engineering Design Group in order to verify
compliance with the geotechnical and civil engineering recommendations provided herein,
as applicable. The project structural and geotechnical engineers may upgrade any
condition as deemed necessary during the development of the proposed improvement(s).
1. Attendance of a pre-construction meeting prior to the start of work
2. Review of final approved structural plans prior to the start of work.
3. Testing of any fill placed, including retaining wall backfill and utility trenches.
4. Observation of footing excavations prior to steel placement.
5. Field observation of any "field change" condition involving soils.
6. Walk through of final drainage detailing prior to final approval.

The project soils engineer may at their discretion deepen footings or locally recommend
additional steel reinforcement to upgrade any condition as deemed necessary during site
observations.
Engineering Design Group, prior to the issuance of the certificate of completion, shall issue
in writing that the above inspections have been conducted by a representative of their firm,
and the design considerations of the project soils report have been met. The field
Inspection protocol specified herein is considered the minimum necessary for Engineering
Design Group to have exercised "due diligence" in the soils engineering design aspect of
this building. Engineering Design Group assumes no liability for structures constructed
utilizing this report not meeting this protocol.
Engineering Design Group requires a minimum of 48 hours notice to mobilize onsite for
field observation and testing.
MISCELLANEOUS
It must be noted that no structure or slab should be expected to remain totally free of
cracks and minor signs of cosmetic distress. The flexible nature of wood and steel
structures allows them to respond to movements resulting from minor unavoidable
settlement of fill or natural soils, the swelling of clay soils, or the motions induced from
seismic activity. All of the above can induce movement that frequently results in cosmetic
cracking of brittle wall surfaces, such as stucco or interior plaster or interior brittle slab
finishes.
Data for this report was derived from surface observations at the site, knowledge of local
conditions, and a visual observation of the soils exposed in the exploratory test pits. The
recommendations in this report are based on our experience in conjunction with the limited
soils exposed at this site. We believe that this information gives an acceptable degree of
reliability for anticipating the behavior of the proposed structure; however, our
recommendations are professional opinions and cannot control nature, nor can they assure
the soils profiles beneath or adjacent to those observed. Therefore, no warranties of the
accuracy of these recommendations, beyond the limits of the obtained data, is herein
expressed or implied. This report is based on the investigation at the described site and
on the specific anticipated construction as stated herein. If either of these conditions is
changed, the results would also most likely change.
Man-made or natural changes in the conditions of a property can occur over a period of
time. In addition, changes in requirements due to state of the art knowledge and/or
legislation, are rapidly occurring. As a result, the findings of this report may become invalid

small +/- 12-18 inch high masonry type retaining wall (hereafter referred to as top of bluff
wall) with viewing glass which delineates the yard and improved landscape (to the east
from the natural bluff (to the west). Beyond the top of bluff wall to the west (on the bluff
face) exists a series of small wood lagged type retaining structures, which have rotated
outward slightly, and have been tied (via tension cables) back to the top of bluff mason
wall. The site walls at the north and south property lines extend to the to of bluff wall. At
the connection point, the site walls are generally intact and show no obvious evidence of
tension type cracking or other influences of bluff movement.
Based upon conversations with the project designer and review of plans we understand
the proposed site modifications will consist of the following:
Demolition of the existing main residence and construction of a new building with
a basement.
The basement elevation of the building will lie roughly at elevation 56 foot and will
-- require temporary retaining wall back cuts and the export of soil material.
Rear portion of the building is designed with a cantilever upper deck type

bluff are provided in Figures 7 and 8 (Cross Sections); Figure 9 (Geologic Ma
Appendix E (Photos 1-6) . The following is a summary of the onsite bluff conditions);.and
The bluff flanking the western side of the site consists of an approximately 21-foot high
near-vertical sea cliff at the base of the approximately 60-foot high coastal bluff (see
Appendix E, Photos 1-6). Flanking the southern side of the exposed bluff is an area of
apparent fill (mapped by others as Landslide Deposits) placed for unknown reasons, and
-- apparently prior to the development of the southern neighboring lot
base of the fill is large rip rap. g 9 (pre 1960's). At the
The exposed sea cliff portion of the bluff is not vegetated and generally no t undermined.
The protruding configuration of sandstone tributary to the site serves as a natural
reventment, protecting the bluff from concentrated erosion and undermining. Indications
of sea cave development were not observed at the site.
The portion of bluff overlying the sea cliff(approximately 32 vertical feet)generally slopes
at an overall gradient of approximately 35 degrees(through Section A-A) and is vegetated
with succulents. Old irrigation pipes(abandoned)and railroad tie retaining walls lie at the

_ upper section of the bluff, immediately beyond the property line. The uppermost 15 feet
is steeper with a gradient varying from 50-60 degrees. This upper portion of the bluff is
generally vegetated with ice plant. Bluff protection devices were not observed on the
_ subject bluff and adjacent portions of the coastal bluff.
The fill lying southwest of the site exhibited evidence of small surficial slides at the upper
reaches of the slope. The fill is sparsely covered with dead ice plant. The fill shows no
obvious evidence of significant sea wave scouring beyond the rip rap. The existence of
the fill appears to pre-date 1960 aerial photographs. Others have mapped the feature as
_ Landslide Deposits. In our opinion, the "fill' characteristics of the deposit are evidenced
by the protrusion of the soil mass beyond the base of bluff, without obvious mass loss
above. In general, it appears the feature consists of import fill pushed over the bluff face
_ and buttressed with rip rap (too much soil at upper bluff to be Qls).
_ FIELD INVESTIGATION
Our field investigation of the property, conducted on September 18, 2002, consisted of a
site reconnaissance, site field measurements, observation of existing conditions on site
and adjacent public access lands and a limited subsurface investigation of soil conditions.
Our subsurface investigation included excavation of two exploratory borings, logging of soil
-- types encountered and sampling of soils for laboratory testing. Logs of the borings
presented in Figures No. 4 and 5 of this report. The locations of the test it are given
_ in Figure No. 3, "Site Plan/Location of Test Pits", p
SUBSOIL CONDITIONS
Fill materials, placed during the original grading of the site, were encountered to an
approximate depth of 30 inches below adjacent grade in our exploratory test pits. Soil types
-- encountered within our test pits are described as follows:

slightly silty sands.These materials are not considered suitable forthe support
of structures and structural improvements, but may be utilized as re-
_ compacted fill during grading, if necessary,

_ Terrace Deposits.•
Terrace Deposits (sandstone)were found to underlie the fill material within boring
excavations. Terrace Deposits consist of rust brown, moist, dense, very slightly
silty sand. These materials are considered suitable for the support of
structures and structural improvements, provided the recommendations of
this report are followed. Terrace Deposits classify as SW according to the
Unified Soil Classification System, and based on visual observation and our
experience, possess an expansion potential of low.
Clean friable sands were encountered in boring B-1 from 9'-18' and B-2 from 10'-
20'. The clean sand layer has been modeled in our slope stability study, attached
to this report as Appendix D.
Torrey Sandstone
Torrey Sandstone was found below Terrace Deposits within Boring 1. Torrey

-- GEOLOGIC STRUCTURE
_ The Torrey Sandstone in the vicinity of the subject property is nearly flat-lying and is locally
cross-bedded. Bedding in the Quaternary terrace deposits can be observed as faint,
alternating light and dark laminations. Where observed on site and in the general site
_ vicinity,the terrace deposits appearto be horizontally bedded with localized cross bedding.
No major out-of-slope dip components were noted on site that would indicate adverse
slope conditions. Indications of deep-seated landslide features were not observed during
our research studies or site visits.

FAULTS
Our review of geologic literature (Appendix A)pertaining to the general site area indicates
that there are no known major or active faults on or in the immediate vicinity of the site.
Indications of active faulting or adversely-oriented joints were not observed in the subject
coastal bluff. The nearest known active faults are the Rose Canyon fault located offshore
approximately 4 miles west of the site, the Coronado Bank fault located offshore
approximately 18 miles west, and the Elsinore fault located approximately 21 miles
northeast of the site. The San Andreas fault is located approximately 80 miles northeast
of the site.
TS
Tsunami are sea waves generated by submarine earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic
action. Submarine earthquakes are common along the edge of the Pacific Ocean and
coastal areas are subject to potential inundation by tsunami. Most of the 19 tsunami
recorded on the San Diego Bay tidal gauge (between 1854 to 1872 and 1906 to 1977)
-- have only been a few tenths of a meter in height(Appendix A, Reference 1). The largest
San Diego area tidal gauge excursion (1 meter) was associated with the tsunami of May
22, 1960 and was recorded at La Jolla Scri
-- tsunami was generated by a Richter magnitude 8.5 learthq earthquake in Chile. For Reference pa The
the diurnal range of tides at San Diego Bay is 1.7 meters. The possibility of a destructive
tsunami along the San Diego coastline is considered low (Appendix A, Reference 5).
-- Tsunami or storm waves (associated with winter storms), even in conjunction with high
tides, do not have the potential for inundation of the bluff-top building site.
GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATER
-- Groundwater seepage was not observed on site or in the general site vicinity during our
site visits Based on our experience and observations, groundwater Is estimated to lie at
_ or near sea level at the base of the coastal bluff. Groundwater is not considered a
constraint to the proposed new residence. The bluff-top surface waters shall drain drain
toward Pacific Avenue.
HISTORIC RESEARCH SUMMARY

top of the bluff observed during our field studies (see Figure 9).
COASTAL BLUFF RETREAT
The coastline in the vicinity of the subject property is straight with slight indentations along
its length (see Figure 1). The site is located on one of the headlands along the coast..
Mechanisms for seacliff retreat at the site include abrasion and undercutting by marine
-. erosion (wave action) of the hard, erosion-resistant Torrey Sandstone bedrock exposed
in the near-vertical seacliff. Storm surf and high tides contribute to the natural process of
marine erosion. Other factors affecting the rate of retreat of a near-vertical seacliff at the
toe of a coastal bluff include degree of fracturing, consolidation of steepness of slope, groundwater and surface water conditions,jointing,

COASTAL BLUFF-EDGE RETREAT RATES
The rate and magnitude of coastal bluff retreat at a specific site are dependent on a variety
of factors, both natural and manmade. Many of these factors are ongoing processes and
historical documentation can be helpful in estimating
similarly-affected coastal bluff areas. However, general retreat rates- along
bluff retreat that cannot be estimated from historic documentation.c Suchffactors include
de
future human activities or possible extreme variations in regional weather patterns.
Detrimental changes in factors affecting bluff-edge retreat, such as misdirected drainage,
water line breaks, heavy storm surf and/or precipitation, could increase the rate of erosion.
However, favorable changes in the factors affecting bluff-edge retreat could also decrease
the rate of erosion. Some of these include proper maintenance of a bluff-stabilizing
vegetative cover, enhanced site drainage provisions and beach sand replenishment.
Research studies along the San Diego coast and historic photograph and map review are
components in providing an estimation of the rate of bluff-edge retreat. We assume that
the historical retreat rate may give an indication of the future retreat rate at a particular site.
-- However, accurate and clear photographic and map documentation for measuring retreat
is not always available or are of fairly short time intervals so changes may not be
noticeable.
Lee and others(Appendix A, Reference 6)performed research studies of regional historic
sea cliff retreat and estimated a maximum annual bluff-edge retreat rate of 0.22 to 0.33
feet per year. Over a 75-year period (assumed to be the economic lifetime of the new
construction), this equates to a conservative estimate of bluff-edge retreat of a maximum
of 16.5 to 24.8 feet. This maximum is based on research studies of regional historic bluff
retreat that includes coastal bluffs with generally favorable conditions, as well as coastal
bluffs that are affected by more adverse conditions (highly fractured, sea caves,
groundwater seepage, human activities, etc.). The estimated values of maximum retreat
are very conservative,and the actual rate of bluff retreat at the subject property is expected
to be less considering the site conditions and historic bluff retreat at the site.
-- Sea cave formation and subsequent collapse are localized factors in the bluff retreat
process. Indications of sea cave development were not observed at the subject property
during our site visits.
Our historic photograph review(Appendix A) indicates that the coastal bluff at the subject
property is generally similar in configuration in the 1960, and subsequent photos. The
location of the onsite blubluff edge is also generally similar on the photographs.
The 1960 aerial photo series provides historical documentation the bluff has not

_ significantly retreated since the 1960's. It is very difficult to predict the future and the
magnitude of bluff-edge retreat that may occur in one year, during one storm event or over
the 75-year assumed economic lifetime of the new construction. The rate of coastal bluff
retreat over a particular interval of time (day, year, decade, etc.) may vary from very little
to several tenths of a foot. However, severe erosion is generally episodic in nature and is
dependent on the intensity of storms and combined high tides (or man's detrimental
actions). It is probable that several feet of coastal bluff retreat could occur at one time.
However, it is also likely that there will be periods in the future when erosion along the
coast is rather insignificant and undetectable. Erosion is a naturally-occurring process that
is affected by human actions. With time the bluff-,A-- will retreat landward.
It is our opinion that the new construction, proposed to be set back a minimum of 40 feet
from the bluff edge, will not be endangered by coastal bluff retreat over the next 75 years.
Existing improvements inside the setback zone, may in the future become undermined
(within the 75 year life span) by bluff-edge retreat and may need to be removed from the
site.
SLOPE STABILITY CALCULATIONS
A computer-generated slope stability analysis was performed on the coastal bluff at the
site. The slope stability was analyzed using Bishops simplified and 'Janbu's Modified
Method' with the XSTABLE computer program. The slope stability calculations are
included in Appendix D. The soil strength parameters used in our analysis are presented
-- below. These values are based on laboratory test results, back-calculation, our past
experience in this area, and our professional judgement.
-- Our analysis work includes an assumed "worst case" cohesionless sand tense
thicknesses of 10 feet along the coastal bluff face (see x-section), lying immediately atop
_ the Torrey Sandstone. Design values formulated by Group Delta to model the sand layer,
on other sites along the coast, conservatively use design values of cohesion = 0 and Phi
= 32 degrees.

Bluff Retreat
Based on our Geologic Evaluation and Limited Geotechnical Investigation at the site, it is
our opinion that the proposed residence new residence is feasible from a geotechnical
standpoint. It is our opinion that the proposed new residence (and the additional loading
from this relatively light bluff-top construction)will not adversely impact the analysis,c existing co is our
bluff. Based on our field studies, research and engineering and geologic
opinion the proposed construction should not be affected by the maximum anticipated
coastal bluff retreat processes during its economic lifetime(assumed to be 75 years)if the
addition is set back a minimum of 40 feet from the bluff edge as planned and mapped
herein.

Slope Stability and ErncirJn
Our geotechnical evaluation of the present overall static stability on the subject property
indicates that the bluff is grossly stable. In its present state, the slope has a low to
moderate potential for erosional rilling and future surficial instability. We provide the
following recommendations to help reduce erosion of the bluff and to reduce potential for
future instability of the bluff face.
7. Irrigation of the landscape areas on the property should be curtailed, and limited to
manual watering within the setback zone. The amount of manual irrigation onsite
should be limited to the minimum amount required to establish vegetation and
maintain plant vigor. The upper portion of the subject coastal bluff and the bluff edge
are currently moderately to well vegetated. At this time, it is our opinion that
modifications to the vegetation should not be considered.
2. Adequate drainage precautions at this site are imperative and will play a critical
on the future performance of the bluff, dwelling and improvements. Under N
t o
-- circumstances should surface water be allowed to pond or flow toward the bluff.
Roof gutters and downspouts shall be installed on the new and existing structures
and tightlined to the area drain system. All drains should be kept clean and
-- unclogged, including gutters and downspouts. All surface runoff water should drain
away from the structure and top of bluff with a minimum slope of 2%for a horizontal
distance of 7 feet (where possible). Area drains or surface swales should then be
provided to accommodate runoff and avoid any ponding of water. The area drain
system shall consists of non perforated smooth all drainage pipe(PVC SDR-35 or
better) with chemically welded joints, as sized and designed by the project civil
engineer. Area drains should be kept free of debris to allow for proper drainage.
During fine grading of the property, subsequent building construction, adequate
clearance shall be left from finish soil grade to building framing lumber as prescribed
by code. It is advisable to meet with the project landscaper during this phase of the
project so that proposed import topsoil may be accounted for in determining finish
grade elevation against the building stemwall.
During periods of heavy rain, the performance of all drainage systems should be
inspected. Problems such as gullying or ponding should be corrected as soon as
Possible. Any leakage from sources such as water lines should also be repaired as
soon as possible. In addition, irrigation of planter areas, lawns, or other vegetation,
located adjacent to the foundation or exterior flat work improvements, should be
strictly controlled or avoided.

3. Pedestrian and animal traffic on the bluff face and bluff edge should not be allowed
since pedestrian/animal traffic increases erosion.
Bluff-Toa Setback
Based on our review of the project plans, the proposed new residence will be set back a
minimum of 40 feet from the bluff edge. It is our opinion that the proposed setback will
safeguard the proposed construction from bluff-edge retreat during the economic lifetime
of the addition.
_ PrODOSed Building Construction
The proposed site construction will involve basement cuts and export of soil , effectively
reducing"driving"forces at the upper bluff. The building will incorporate a cantilever design
along the west elevation. The building will utilize a mat type foundation at the basement
_ to dissipate the increased loading from the cantilever design. In general, the proposed
building construction as currently proposed will not pose an increase threat to the stability
of the bluff.
Seismic Considerations
Ground shaking would be the primary seismic hazard at the site. The possibility of ground
rupture is considered minimal since no active faults are known to cross the site. The
potential for liquefaction or seismically-induced ground settlement is very low. In general,
the role seismic shaking plays in bluff retreat is dependent on bluff conditions at the
moment of shaking. It is possible that some of the bedrock projections may fail as the
result of severe ground shaking at the site. However, it is our opinion that the potential for
deep-seated or severe, catastrophic failure of the coastal bluff property due to expected
seismic ground shaking is low at the site., This conclusion is supported by our Pseudo
static slope stability of the bluff which indicates a factor of safety in excess of 1.1.
GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Earthwork
It is our understanding earthwork will be limited to excavation of the basement and front
driveway area and general fine grading for drainage. Our investigation indicates
excavations will remove all overlying fill materials, exposing Terrace Deposits. Our
recommendation is for minimal excavation beyond the basement footprint, limited to that

required to ensure safety (per OSHA requirements) and allow for installation of
waterproofing. Utilizing a standard 4' vertical cut and 1:1 sloped backcut will result in
excavations of approximately 9'beyond the basement footprint. Portions of the excavation
_ at the north and south property lines will require shoring to avoid over steepened cuts or
offsite excavation. Any grading should be performed in accordance with the following
recommendations, pertinent county/city standards, and grading specifications provided in
_ Appendix C of this report.
1. Site Prepar_
Existing structures and improvements should be removed with minimal
disturbance to the onsite soil. During demolition operations, protective fencing
should be placed at the rear of the property to prevent heavy equipment access
within the 40'setback zone. Further, all necessary steps should be taken to direct
site runoff away from the bluff Removed vegetation and debris shall be properly
disposed of prior to the commencement of any fill operations. Holes resulting from
the removal of debris, existing structures, or other improvements, which extend
below the undercut depths noted, are to be filled and compacted using onsite
material or a non-expansive import material. All grading and site clearing should
be limited to those areas defined as "acceptable per Appendix C of this report.
Fills:
The area of"fill" is anticipated to be limited to behind retaining walls. In general,
Areas to receive fill and/or structural improvements should be compacted to at
least 90 percent relative compaction(based on ASTM D1557-91). Compacted fills
should be cleaned of loose debris, oversize material in excess of 6 inches in
diameter, brought to near optimum moisture content, and re-compacted to at least
90 percent relative compaction (based on ASTM D1557-91). All fill slopes should
be compacted to 90 percent relative compaction to slope face and planted in order
to avoid erosion and sloughage.
Fills should generally be placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in thickness.
If the import of soil is planned, the soils should be non-expansive and free of
debris and organic matter. Prior to importing, soils should be visually
observed, sampled and tested at the borrow pit area to evaluate soil suitability
-' as fill.
Foundations
We anticipate that the proposed building foundation system will consists of conventional

In deriving foundation recommendations for this site, the subsoil conditions as well as
the proposed new construction were evaluated.
The following foundation recommendations assume a non-expansive subsoil condition
(i.e., Expansive Index less than 50). Minimum design parameters for foundations are as
follows:
1. Footings bearing in competent formational materials may be designed utilizing

Note #8)
_ 6. All footings should be reinforced with a minimum of two#4 bars at the top and two
#4 bars at the bottom (3 inches above the ground). For footings over 30 inches in
depth, additional reinforcement, and possibly a stemwall system will be necessary.
This detail should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by our office prior to
construction.
7. All isolated spread footings should be designed utilizing the above given bearing
values and footing depths, and be reinforced with a minimum of #4 bars at 12
inches o.c. in each direction (3 inches above the ground). Isolated spread footings
should have a minimum width of 24 inches.
7. Forfootings adjacent to slopes, a minimum 15 feet horizontal setback in formational
-- material or properly compacted fill should be maintained. A setback measurement
should be taken at the horizontal distance from the bottom of the footing to slope
daylight. Where this condition can not be met it should be brought to the attention
of the Engineering Design Group for review.
8. All excavations should be performed in general accordance with the contents of this
report, applicable codes, OSHA requirements and applicable city and/or county
standards.
9. All foundation subgrade soils shall be pre-moistened a minimum of 18 inches in
depth prior to the pouring of concrete.
10. Where testing span across backfill wedges, this detail should be observed by our
office prior to construction for potential upgrade.
Concrete Slabs on Grade
Concrete slabs on grade should use the following as the minimum design parameters:
1. Concrete slabs on grade of the garage should have a minimum thickness of 4.5
-- inches (5 inches at garage and driveway locations) and should be reinforced with
#4 bars at 18 inches o.c. placed at the midpoint of the slab.
_ All concrete shall be poured per the following:
• Slump: Between 3 and 4 inches maximum
• Aggregate Size: 3/4 - 1 inch

• Air Content: 5 to 8 percent
• Moisture retarding additive in concrete at moisture
sensitive areas.

2. All required fills used to support slabs, should be placed in accordance with the
earthwork section of this report and the attached Appendix B, and compacted to 90
percent Modified Proctor Density, ASTM D-1557.
�. 3. A uniform layer of 4 inches of clean sand is recommended under the slab in order
to more uniformly support the slab (sand equivalent <50), help distribute loads to
the soils beneath the slab, and act as a capillary break. In addition, a visqueen
layer (10 mil) should be placed mid-height in the sand bed to act as a vapor
retarder.
4. Adequate control joints should be installed to control the unavoidable cracking of
concrete that takes place when undergoing its natural shrinkage during curing. The
control joints should be well located to direct unavoidable slab cracking to areas that
are desirable by the designer.
5. All subgrade soils to receive concrete flatwork are to be pre-soaked to 2 percent
over optimum moisture content to a depth of 24 inches.
6 Brittle floor finishes placed directly on slab on grade floors may crack if concrete
is not adequately cured prior to installing the finish or if there is minor slab
movement. To minimize potential damage to movement sensitive flooring, we
recommend the use of slip sheeting techniques (linoleum type) which allows for
-- foundation and slab movement without transmitting this movement to the floor
finishes.
7• Exterior concrete flatwork and driveway slabs, due to the nature of concrete
hydration and minorsubgrade soil movement,are subject to normal minor concrete
cracking. To minimize expected concrete cracking, the following may be
implemented:
• Concrete slump should not exceed 4 inches.
-' 0 Concrete should be poured during "cool' (40 - 65 degrees) weather if
Possible. If concrete is poured in hotter weather, a set retarding additive
•
should be included in the mix, and the slump kept to a minimum.
Concrete subgrade should be pre-soaked prior to the pouring of concrete.

• Concrete may be poured with a 10 inch deep thickened edge.
_ Concrete should be constructed with tooled joints or sawcuts (1 inch deep)
creating concrete sections no larger than 225 sf. For sidewalks, the
maximum run between joints should not exceed 5 feet. For rectangular
shapes of concrete, the ratio of length to width should generally not exceed
0.6 (i.e., 5 ft. long by 3 ft. wide). Joints should be cut at expected points of
concrete shrinkage (such as male corners), with diagonal reinforcement
placed in accordance with industry standards.
• Drainage adjacent to concrete flatwork should direct water away from the
improvement. Concrete subgrade should be sloped and directed to the
collective drainage system, such that water is not trapped

Retaining Walls
Retaining walls up to 10 feet may be designed and constructed in accordance with the
following recommendations and minimum design parameters:
1• Retaining wall footings should be designed in accordance with the allowable bearin
criteria given in the "Foundations section of this report. g
2. Unrestrained cantilever retaining walls should be designed using an active

MISCELLANEOUS
It must be noted that no structure or slab should be expected to remain totally free of
cracks and minor signs of cosmetic distress. The flexible nature of wood and steel
structures allows them to respond to movements resulting from minor unavoidable
settlement of fill or natural soils, the swelling of clay soils, or the motions induced from
seismic activity. All of the above can induce movement that frequently results in cosmetic
cracking of brittle wall surfaces, such as stucco or interior plaster or interior brittle slab
finishes.
Data for this report was derived from surface observations at the site, knowledge of local
conditions, and a visual observation of the soils exposed in the exploratory test pits. The
recommendations in this report are based on our experience in conjunction with the limited
soils exposed at this site. We believe that this information gives an acceptable degree of
reliability for anticipating the behavior of the proposed structure; however, our
recommendations are professional opinions and cannot control nature, nor can they assure
the soils profiles beneath or adjacent to those observed. Therefore, no warranties of the
accuracy of these recommendations, beyond the limits of the obtained data, is herein
expressed or implied. This report is based on the investigation at the described site and
on the specific anticipated construction as stated herein. If either of these conditions is
changed, the results would also most likely change.

GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRAnlruc; SPECIFICATIONS
-- 1.0 General Intent
These specifications are presented as general procedures and recommendations fi
grading and earthwork to be utilized in conjunction with the approved grading plan!
These general earthwork and grading specifications are a part of th
recommendations contained in the geotechnical report and shall be superseded b
the recommendations in the geotechnical report in the case of conflict. Evaluation
performed by the consultant during the course of grading may result in net
recommendations which could supersede these specifications or th
recommendations of the geotechnical report. It shall be the responsibility of th,
contractor to read and understand these specifications, as well as the geotechnice
_ report and approved grading plans.
2.0 Earthwork Observation and Testina
Prior to the commencement of grading, a qualified geotechnical consultant should be
- employed for the purpose of observing earthwork procedures and testing the fills foi
conformance with the recommendations of the geotechnical report and these
specifications. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to assist the consultant
and keep him apprised of work schedules and changes, at least 24 hours in advance,
so that he may schedule his personnel accordingly. No grading operations should be
performed without the knowledge of the geotechnical consultant. The contractor shall
not assume that the geotechnical consultant is aware of all grading operations.
It shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor to provide adequate equipment and
methods to accomplish the work in accordance with applicable grading codes and
agency ordinances, recommendations in the geotechnical report, and the approved
_ grading plans not withstanding the testing and observation of the geotechnical
consultant. If, in the opinion of the consultant, unsatisfactory conditions, such as
unsuitable soil, poor moisture condition, inadequate compaction, adverse weather,
etc., are resulting in a quality of work less than recommended in the geotechnical
report and the specifications, the consultant will be empowered to reject the work and
recommend that construction be stopped until the conditions are rectified.
Maximum dry density tests used to evaluate the degree of compaction should be
performed in general accordance with the latest version of the American Society for
Testing and Materials test method ASTM D1557.
_ c
-- 3.0 Preparation of Areas to be Filled
-- 3.1 C earing and Grubbing: Sufficient brush, vegetation, roots and all othi
deleterious material should be removed or properly disposed of in a methc
acceptable to the owner, design engineer, governing agencies and th
geotechnical consultant.
The geotechnical consultant should evaluate the extent of these removal
depending on specific site conditions. In general, no more than 1 percent (b
volume) of the fill material should consist of these materials and nesting c
these materials should not be allowed.
3.2 Processing: The existing ground which has been evaluated by the
geotechnical consultant to be satisfactory for support of fill, should be scarifiec
to a minimum depth of 6 inches. Existing ground which is not satisfactory
should be overexcavated as specified in the following section. Scarification
should continue until the soils are broken down and free of large clay lumps or
clods and until the working surface is reasonably uniform, flat, and free of
uneven features which would inhibit uniform compaction.
3.3 Overexcavation: Soft, dry, organic-rich, spongy, highly fractured, or otherwise
unsuitable ground, extending to such a depth that surface processing cannot
adequately improve the condition, should be overexcavated down to
competent ground, as evaluated by the geotechnical consultant. For purposes
of determining quantities of materials overexcavated, a licensed land
surveyor/civil engineer should be utilized.
3.4 LI oisture Conditioning: Overexcavated and processed soils should be watered,
dried-back, blended, and/or mixed, as necessary to attain a uniform moisture
content near optimum.
3.5 Recom action: Overexcavated and processed soils which have been properly
mixed, screened of deleterious material, and moisture-conditioned should be
recompacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent or as otherwise
recommended by the geotechnical consultant.
3.6 Benchipq: Where fills are to be placed on ground with slopes steeper than 5
(horizontal to vertical), the ground should be stepped or benched. The lowe
bench should be a minimum of 15 feet wide, at least 2 feet into competes
_ material as evaluated by the geotechnical consultant. Other benches shout
be excavated into competent material as evaluated by the geotechnic;
consultant. Ground sloping flatter than 5:1 should be benched or otherwis
overexcavated when recommended by the geotechnical consultant.
-' 3.7 Evaluation of Fill Areas: All areas to receive fill, including processed areas
removal areas, and toe-of-fill benches, should be evaluated by tho
geotechnical consultant prior to fill placement.
4.0 Fill Material
-- 4.1 General: Material to be placed as fill should be sufficiently free of organic
matter and other deleterious substances, and should be evaluated by the
geotechnical consultant prior too placement. Soils of poor gradation,
-- expansion, or strength characteristics should be placed as recommended by
the geotechnical consultant or mixed with other soils to achieve satisfactory fill
material.
4.2 Oversize: Oversize material, defined as rock or other irreducible material with
a maximum dimension greater than 6 inches, should not be buried or placed
in fills, unless the location, materials, and disposal methods are specifically
recommended by the geotechnical consultant. Oversize disposal operations
should be such that nesting of oversize material does not occur, and such that
the oversize material is completely surrounded by compacted or densified fill.
Oversize material should not be placed within 10 feet vertically of finish grade,
within 2 feet of future utilities or underground construction, or within 15 feet
horizontally of slope faces, in accordance with the attached detail.
4.3 ImAo : If importing of fill material is required for grading, the import materi,'
should meet the requirements of Section 4.1. Sufficient time should be give
to allow the geotechnical consultant to observe (and test, if necessary) th
' proposed import materials.
5.0 Fill Placement and-Compaction
5.1 Fill Lifts: Fill material should be placed in areas prepared and previousll
evaluated to receive fill, in near-horizontal layers approximately 6 inches it
compacted thickness. Each layer should be spread evenly and thoroughly
mixed to attain uniformity of material and moisture throughout.
5.2 Moisture Conditionina: Fill soils should be watered, dried-back, blended,
and/or mixed, as necessary to attain a uniform moisture content near optimum.
5.3 Compaction of Fill: After each layer has been evenly spread, moisture-
conditioned, and mixed, it should be uniformly compacted to not less than 90
percent of maximum dry density (unless otherwise specified). Compaction
equipment should be adequately sized and be either specifically designed for
soil compaction or of proven reliability, to efficiently achieve the specified
degree and uniformity of compaction.
5.4 Compacting of slopes should be accomplished, in addition to
normal compacting procedures, by backrolling of slopes with sheepsfoot rollers
at increments of 3 to 4 feet in fill elevation gain, or by other methods producing
satisfactory results. At the completion of grading, the relative compaction of
the fill out to the slope face would be at least 90 percent.
-4-
5.5 Compaction Testing: Field tests of the moisture content and degree a
compaction of the fill soils should be performed at the consultant's discretior
based on field conditions encountered. In general, the tests should be taker
at approximate intervals of 2 feet in vertical rise and/or 1,000 cubic yards o1
compacted fill soils. In addition, on slope faces, as a guideline approximately
one test should be taken for each 5,000 square feet of slope face and/or ea&
10 feet of vertical height of slope.
6.0 Subdrain Installation
Subdrain systems, if recommended, should be installed in areas previously evaluated
for suitability by the geotechnical consultant, to conform to the approximate alignment
and details shown on the plans or herein. The subdrain location or materials should
not be changed or modified unless recommended by the geotechnical consultant.
The consultant, however, may recommend changes in subdrain line or grade
depending on conditions encountered. All subdrains should be surveyed by a
licensed land surveyor/civil engineer for line and grade after installation. Sufficieni
time shall be allowed for the survey, prior to commencement of filling over the
subdrains.
— 7.0 Excavation
Excavations and cut slopes should be evaluated by a representative of the
geotechnical consultant(as necessary)during grading. If directed by the geotechnical
consultant, further excavation, overexcavation, and refilling of cut areas and/or
remedial grading of cut slopes (i.e., stability fills or slope buttresses) may be
recommended.
8.0 Quantity Determination
For purposes of determining quantities of materials excavated during grading and/or
determining the limits of overexcavation, a licensed land surveyor/civil engineer
should be utilized.

1) Rock with maximum dimensions greater than 6 inches should not be used within 10 1
vertically of finish grade (or 2 feet below depth of lowest utility whichever is great+
and 15 feet horizontally of slope faces.
2) Rocks with maximum dimensions greater than 4 feet should not be utilized in fills.
3) Rock placement, flooding of granular soil, and fill placement should be observed by
geotechnical consultant.
4) Maximum size and spacing of windrows should be In accordance with the above del
Width of windrow should not exceed 4 feet. Windrows should be staggered
vertically (as depicted).
5) Rock should be placed in excavated trenches. Granular soil (S.E. greater than or eq
to 30) should be flooded in the windrow to completely fill voids around and beneath
rocks.

LABORATORY TESTING PROCEDURES
Direct Shear Test Direct shear tests are performed on remolded and/or relatively undisturt
samples which are soaked for a minimum of 24 hours prior to testing. After transferring
sample to the shearbox, and reloading, pore pressures are allowed to dissipated for a perioc
approximately 1 hour prior to application of shearing force. The samples are sheared in a mol
driven, strain controlled, direct-shear testing apparatus. After a travel of approximately 1/4 in
the motor is stopped and the sample is allowed to "relax" for approximately 15 minutes. Wh(
applicable,the "relaxed"and "peak"shear values are recorded. It is anticipated that, in a majo
of samples tested, the 15 minutes relaxing of the sample is sufficient to allow dissipation of p<
pressures set up due to application of the shearing force. The relaxed values are therefc
judged to be good estimations of effective strength parameters.
Expansion Index Tests: The expansion potential of representative samples is evaluated by
Expansion Index Test, U.B.C. Standard No. 29-2. Specimens are molded under a giv
compactive energy to approximately the optimum moisture content and approximately 50 percE
saturation. The prepared 1-inch thick by 4-inch diameter specimens are loaded to an equivalE
144 psf surcharge and are inundated with tap water for 24 hours or until volumetric equilibria
is reached.
Classification Tests: Typical materials were subjected to mechanical grain-size analysis I
wet sieving from U.S. Standard brass screens (ASTM D422-65). Hydrometer analyses we
performed where appreciable quantities of fines were encountered. The data was evaluated
determining the classification of the materials. The grain-size distribution curves are presentE
in the test data and the Unified Soil Classification is presented in both the test data and the borir
logs.
