Subject: Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation of the Coastal Bluff Property,
554 Neptune Avenue, Encinitas, California.
In accordance with your request, Soil Engineering Construction, Inc. has completed this
Preliminary geotechnical evaluation of the coastal bluff along the western part of your property.
This report presents the results of our geotechnical evaluation for the stability of the coastal
bluff, an engineering evaluation for the most appropriate and acceptable stabilization methods
applicable for the specific on-site bluff conditions.
The following report documents our findings and presents conclusions and recommendations
concerning geotechnical aspects of the coastal bluff. The most significant geotechnical issue
affecting the site is the instability of the upper bluff Terrace deposits. Absent the implementation
of timely mitigative measures, upper bluff instability will likely result in ongoing failures in the
mid and upper sections of the bluff that could adversely affect the subject residence as well as
the neighboring residences and their respective upper
north and south of the subject property. Accompanyiing th s report retaining
re engineeringldrawing ts and
e
calculations for the repair of the bluff, as well as an alternatives analysis provided under separate

PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION
554 NEPTUNE AVENUE,ENCINITAS, CALIFORNIA
INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the findings of Soil Engineering Construction, Inc. (SEC) preliminary
geotechnical assessment of the coastal bluff at 554 Neptune Avenue, Encinitas, California. The
site location is shown on the attached vicinity map, Figure 1. The evaluation was conducted at
the request of the owners' of the subject property and was completed in accordance with our
proposal to provide professional engineering services.
This report presents our findings, conclusions, and recommendations regarding the necessary
repairs to the bluff in order to protect the subject residential structure from a potential upper bluff
failure. This preliminary geological evaluation references the initial geotechnical evaluation
performed by Earth Systems Design Group, dated October 26, 1992, SEC's updated geotechnical
reviews prepared on December 11, 1995 and August 20, 1996, and a "Draft" preliminary
geotechnical evaluation and bluff study, prepared by GeoSoils, Inc., dated November 12, 2004.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of our preliminary geotechnical evaluation was to study the potential upper bluff
instability at the subject location, determine the subsurface bedrock and soil conditions,present
useful information relevant to the coastline erosion processes in the area, and in turn, the safety
of the single family home (554 Neptune Avenue), and to outline geotechnical considerations and
recommendations pertinent to restoring stability to the residential structure at the subject
property.
The scope of our geotechnical evaluation includes the following:
• Review of geological and topographical maps and literature pertaining to the site and
vicinity. (See appendix A).
• Geological reconnaissance to observe relevant portions of the coastal bluff pertaining to the
existing site conditions.
• Evaluate test boring logs and laboratory testing performed by Geosoils, Inc, (GSI).
• Present site topographic plans and provide geological cross-sectional profiles of the coastal
bluff property.
• Preparation of this report.

BLUFF/SITE DESCRLMON
The property bluff investigation for 554 Neptune Avenue was initially conducted in October 26,
1992 by Earth Systems Design Group. Soil Engineering Construction, Inc. (SEC) completed an
updated geotechnical reviews for the subject property on December 11, 1995 and August 20,
1996. Some geotechnical information presented in those earlier reports is not included herein;
therefore, the prior reports should be utilized in conjunction with this review. Specific
recommendations provided under the purview of this report supercede those presented in the
referenced documents.
The subject coastal bluff property is located at 554 Neptune Avenue in the City of Encinitas
(refer to the site location map, Figure 1). The project site is bounded to the east by Neptune
Avenue, single family residences to the north and south, and on the west by an approximately 95
foot high, steeply sloping westerly facing sea bluff with an overall gradient exceeding 45 degrees
on average (for the site topographic setting refer to Figure 3). Geological cross-sections are
presented as Figure 4. The site consists of a two story single family home on a easterly slightly
sloping building pad area. An out building exists at the southwest corner of the site and is
approximately 3 feet from the top of bluff. An approximately 18 foot high seawall exists at the
base of the coastal bluff and was constructed around the year 1996.
Based on conversations with the Client, the proposed development consists of removal of the
existing two-story residence and one-story outbuilding, and construction of a new two-story,
single family residence. It appears that the planned development would be supported by
continuous footings with slab-on-grade floors and wood frame construction. Building loads are
assumed to be typical for this type of relatively light structure. It is anticipated that sewage
disposal will be tied into the regional municipal system.
SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
As per our proposal agreement, SEC will use the existing field exploration performed by
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) on September 16, 2004, for this report. Subsurface exploration consisted of
drilling one oriented core boring for evaluation of near- surface soil and geologic conditions.
The boring was logged by a geologist from GSI who collected representative bulk and
undisturbed samples from the boring for appropriate laboratory testing. The log of the boring is
presented in Appendix B, with the location of the boring presented on Figure 3.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The subject property is located within the prominent natural geomorphic province in
southwestern California known as the Peninsular Ranges. It is characterized by steep, elongated
mountain ranges and valleys that trend northwesterly. The mountain ranges are underlain by
basement rocks consisting of pre-Cretaceous metasedimentary rocks, Jurassic metavolcanic
rocks, and Cretaceous plutonic rocks of the Southern California batholith. In the San Diego
region, deposition occurred during the Cretaceous Period and Cenozoic Era in the continental
margin of a forearc basin. Sediments, derived from Cretaceous-age plutonic rocks and Jurassic-
Ms.Nancy&Ms.Erin Gault Residence Page 4
554 Neptune,Encinitas, May 5,2006
age volcanic rocks, were deposited into the narrow, steep, coastal plain and continental margin of
the basin. These rocks have been uplifted, eroded, and deeply incised. During early Pleistocene
time, a broad coastal plain was developed from the deposition of marine terrace deposits. During
mid to late Pleistocene time, this plane was uplifted, eroded and incised. Alluvial deposits have
since filled the lower valleys, and young marine sediments are currently being deposited/eroded
within coastal and beach areas.
COASTAL BLUFF GEOMORPROLOGY
The typical coastal bluff profile may be divided into three zones: the"shore platform"; a lower
near-vertical cliff surface defined as the"sea cliff'; and an upper bluff slope area generally
ranging in inclination between approximately 30 and 45 degrees. The bluff top is the boundary
between the upper bluff and coastal terrace.
Offshore from the sea cliff is an area of indefinite extent defined as the"near-shore"zone. The
bedrock surface in the"near-shore" zone, which extends out to sea from the base of the sea cliff,
is the "shore platform". The boundary between the"sea cliff' and the"shore platform" is called
the cliff-platform junction, or sometimes the shoreline angle.
Within the "near-shore"zone is a subdivision called the"inshore" zone, beginning where the
waves break. This boundary varies with time because the point at which waves begin to break
changes dramatically with changes in wave size and tidal level. During low tides, larges waves
will begin to break further away from shore. During high tides, waves may not break at all, or
they may break directly on the lower cliff. Closer to shore is the"foreshore" zone, or the portion
of the shore lying between the upper limit of wave wash at high tide and the ordinary low water
mark. Both of these boundaries often lie on a san or cobble beach. In this case, a shoreline with
a bluff; the "foreshore"zone extends from the low water to the lower face of the bluff.
GEOLOGIC UNITS AND STRUCTURE
Three earth material units were observed and/or encountered in the vicinity of the subject site.
Mapped units are shown on the Geologic Cross-Section Map (Figure 4). A general description
of each material type is presented as follows, from youngest to oldest.
Quarternary Beach Deposits (Mao Symbol—Ob)
A transient shingle beach composed of rounded sand and some cobbles exists at the base of the
bluff. The beach deposits will not be encountered in the vicinity of the proposed development.
Quarternary Terrace Deposits(Mal) Svmbo_1—Ot)
Our field and boring observations and literature review indicate that the upper portion of the sea
cliff is composed primarily of Pleistocene-age terrace deposits, consisting of silty sands and
poorly graded sands with silt, that appear to be weakly cemented with iron oxide. These deposits
W.Nancy&Ms.Erin Gault Residence Page 5
554 Neptune,Encinitas, May 5,2006
rest upon an older wave-cut terrace, also Pleistocene in age. The terrace deposits make up the
sea bluff primarily between approximately +/- 29 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) to near the top of
the bluff. The upper +/- 2 to +/- 3 feet of near surface weathered terrace deposits are generally
loose and potentially compressible, and will require removal and re-compaction, if settlement-
sensitive improvements are proposed within their influence.
Tertiary Torrey Sandstone(Mao Symbol TO
The Eocene-age Torrey--Sandstone unconformably underlies the terrace deposits at the site.
These materials were observed in the lower portions of the coastal bluff(i.e. sea cliff). Onsite,
this formation consists of moderately cemented silty sandstones and poorly graded sandstones.
This formation is described (Kennedy and Peterson, 1975) as an arkosic, subangular, moderately
well indurated sandstone. -The Torrey Sandstone is believed to have been formed along a
submerging coast on an arcuate barrier beach. This beach enclosed and later transgressed over
lagoonal sediments. Its deposition ceased when submergence slowed and the shoreline retreated.
The terrace deposits generally exhibit massive to weak, subhorizontal bedding. The Torrey
Sandstone primarily exhibits massive to subhorizontal bedding with occasional northwesterly to
southeasterly dipping cross beds(approximately 12 to 20 degrees).
FAULTING AND REGIONAL SEISMICITY
Regional Faults
Our review indicates that there are no known active faults crossing this site within the area
proposed for development, and the site is not within an Earthquake Fault Zone(Hart and Bryant,
1997). However, the site is situated in an area of active, as well as potentially active, faulting.
These include, but are not limited to: San Andreas fault; the San Jacinto fault; the Elsinore Fault;
the Coronado Bank fault zone; and the Newport-Inglewood — Rose Canyon fault zone. The
location of these, and other major faults relative to the site, are indicated on Figure 2 (California
Fault Map). The possibility of ground acceleration, or shaking at the site, may be considered as
approximately similar to the southern California region as a whole. Major active fault zones that
may have a significant affect on the site, should they experience activity, are lis2ted in the
following table(modified from Blake, 2000a):

Local Faulting
Based upon geologic reconnaissance by others (Tan and Kennedy, 1996; Eisenberg, 1985),
numerous minor faults ("shear joints") and /or fractures, generally trending northeast —
southwest, have been mapped, offsite, to the north. Elliot (2001) has indicated that potentially
active faults are exposed within this portion of the Encinitas coastline. However, the State of
California does not currently recognize any of these faults as being active or potentially active.
No faulting was observed to transect the site. Therefore, the potential for local faulting to affect
the site development is considered low.
GROUNDWATER
Perched water was observed seeping from the bluff slope along the contact of the Torrey
Sandstone with the overlying terrace deposits and in the boring at +/- 29 feet MSL. Perched
water seepage exiting the bluff face on top of the bedrock tends to cause spring sapping and
solution cavities along joints, and bedding planes, locally accelerating marine erosion where
these conditions exist. In addition, perched water may infiltrate bluff-parallel joints, which form
naturally behind and parallel to the bluff face as a result of near-surface, stress-relief. Perched
groundwater is not expected to significantly influence the development. However, based on the
permeability contrasts between fill and terrace deposits, perched groundwater conditions may
develop in the future due to excess irrigation, poor drainage or damaged utilities, and should be
anticipated. Should manifestations of this perched condition (i.e. seepage) develop in the future,
this office could assess the conditions and provide mitigative recommendations, as necessary.
The regional water table is generally consistent with sea level.
COASTAL BLUFF RETREAT
San Diego County has experienced a significant amount of coastal erosion in the last several
decades, with elevated periods of erosion during heavy winter storm periods. The entire base of
the sea cliff portion of the coastal bluff is exposed to direct wave attack along most of San
Diego's coastline. The waves act to erode the sea cliff through impact on small joints/fractures
and fissures in the bedrock units, and by water-hammer effects. The upper bluff, which often
Ms.Nancy&Ms.Erin Gault Residence Page 7

May 5,2006
supports little or no vegetation, is subject to wave spray and splash, sometimes causing saturation
of the outer layer and subsequent sloughing of over-steepened slope areas. In addition, wind,
rain, irrigation, and uncontrolled surface runoff are contributing factors to the erosion of the
upper coastal bluff. This is more evident on the over-steepened portions comprised of friable
sands.
LABORATO_SMG
Laboratory test were performed on representative samples of representative site earth materials
in order to evaluate their physical characteristics. Test procedures used and results obtained are
presented below.

SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS
Presented herein are the results of our upper bluff slope stability analysis for the subject site.
The purpose of the analysis was to find the minimum factors of safety with respect to sliding for
the existing upper bluff conditions. The analysis was performed for both static and seismic
conditions utilizing the Modified Bishops Method of Slices (GSTABL7 computer program) and
the results are discussed herein. The location of the assumed most critical bluff cross section A-
A', shown on Figure 4 (attached), represents the bluff slope used in this report. The computer
printouts are included in this report and are attached.
For the stability analysis, the soil strength parameters were assumed based upon the laboratory
test results by GSI and our experience working in the area.
Assumed design soil parameters used for our analysis are as follows:

TSUNAMI AND STORM WAVES
Tsunamis 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 tsunamis recorded on the San Diego
tidal gauge(between 1854 and 1872 and 1906 to 1977)have only been a few tenths of a meter in
height. The largest recorded San Diego area tidal gauge excursion (approximately 1 meter of
about 3.25 feet) was associated with the tsunami of May 22, 1960 and was recorded at La Jolla
(Scripps Pier). This tsunami was generated by a Richter magnitude 8.5 earthquake in Chile. For
comparison, the diurnal range of tides at San Diego Bay is 1.7 meters (approximately 5.5 feet).
During the winter of 1997-1998 (October through April), storm waves were observed to break
with wave run-up to elevations of+20 feet. These conditions were observed during times of
high tides and during storm wave events. Such events can occur again. In the event of a
significant earthquake on the Coronado Bank or Rose Canyon, the bluff at this site could be
subject to significant tsunami damage.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our geotechnical investigations at the subject sites, it is our opinion that the subject
residence requires the installation of an upper bluff retention system. In the present state, the
slope has a high to critical potential for continued potential immediate failure that will impact the
subject residence as well as the existing upper bluff retention systems on the neighboring
properties located to the north and south.
The rear-yard upper bluff retention system is necessary to restore an adequate factor of safety
Ma.Nancy&Mo.Erin Gault Residence
554 Neptune,Encinitas, Page 10
May 5,2006
against sliding for the post construction condition(see slope stability results). The slope stability
analysis presented in Appendix C. The criteria presented in the text of this report provides the
basis for our engineering design work.
Recommendations:
In order to protect the residential structure at the site from imminent damage or loss due to an--
upper bluff failure, it is recommended that a below-grade rear yard retention system, consisting
of 30-inch caissons placed a maximum 8 feet on center, with tiebacks and grade beams be
constructed across the subject residential lot fronting the coastal bluff at 554 Neptune. This rear-
yard, below-grade retention system, in conjunction with the existing lower wall, will restore an
adequate factor of safety against sliding for the residential structure.
The rear-yard, below-grade upper bluff retaining system should be restrained using tiebacks. It
is recommended that tiebacks be drilled in a borehole of 8-inches and be a minimum of 55 feet in
length. The said tiebacks should be designed assuming a minimum unbonded length of 15 feet
and a maximum bonded length of 35 feet. Tiebacks for the upper bluff retaining system should
be designed using a minimum bond stress of 15-pounds per square inch. The wall shall be
designed so that, as the bluff retreats, any exposed areas between the caissons can be treated with
sculpted reinforced shotcrete to match, to the extent possible, adjacent bluff areas.
It is recommended that all surface drainage be directed away form the top of bluff and drained to
Neptune Avenue in non-eroding subsurface drainage pipes. All permanent irrigation systems
should be removed and capped a minimum of 40 feet from the bluff face.
It is also recommended that the property owner provide drought resistant vegetation on the bluff
face in order to prevent future erosion. A landscape contractor or landscape architect should be
retained for specific recommendations on planting. It is recommended that foot traffic be kept to
a minimum on the re-graded bluff face and, if possible, the planting should be performed by
hydroseeding.
LEWTATIONS AND CHANGING CONDO S
This geotechnical evaluation report addresses the coastal bluff conditions at the subject property
and is based on our document review, a subsurface investigation and laboratory testing
performed by GeoSoils, Inc., our observations of the geological conditions exposed in the coastal
bluff at this locality. This report assumes that the geologic/soils conditions do not deviate
appreciably from those observed and/or encountered. The recommendations of this report
pertain only to the subject site coastal bluff locality.
The findings of this report are valid as of this date. Changes in conditions of this region can,
however, occur with the passage of time, due to natural processes or the work of man at this
vicinity. In addition, changes in applicable or appropriate standards may occur, from legislation
or the broadening of knowledge in the fields of geotechnical engineering or geology. Hence, the
findings of this report may be invalidated wholly or in part by changes beyond our control.
