INTRODUCTION
In accordance with your request and authorization, MTGL, Inc. has completed a Preliminary
Geotechnical Investigation for the subject site. The following report presents our findings,
conclusions and recommendations based on our investigation, laboratory testing, and engineering
review.
PLANNED CONSTRUCTION
It is proposed to construct four (4) condominium structures comprising approximately 50,000
square feet along with site improvements including access and parking paving. See the Boring
Location Plan (Figure 2)for approximate location of the planned construction.
SCOPE
The scope of our Geotechnical services included the following:
• Complete a Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation consisting of excavating 3 borings.
(See Appendix B for Logs and Boring Location Plan for Locations)
• Laboratory testing of samples(See Appendix Q.
• Geotechnical engineering review of data and engineering recommendations.
• Preparation of this report summarizing our findings and presenting our conclusions and
recommendations for the proposed construction.
SITE
The site is on Nicolas Road near the intersection of Nicolas Road and Roripaugh. The site is
located adjacent to existing buildings and in front of an existing storage lot. The site is
currently an empty lot that has a road dividing the lot that leads up to the storage lot. The
site is vegetation free and is relatively flat.

DBI Retail Ventures,LLC. Project No. 6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard Log No. 06-1501
LABORATORY TESTING
The laboratory testing consists of moisture density determinations of the relatively
undisturbed samples and moisture content of the disturbed samples—Grain Size, Atterberg
Limits and #200.Wash were determined for soils classification and liquefaction analysis.
The maximum density was determined on samples of the near surface soils .so that an.
estimated shrinkage during grading could be made. Direct shear and consolidation testing
were accomplished for foundation bearing and settlement determinations. Corrosivity,
Expansion Index and Soluble Sulfates in the near surface soils were determined for slab-on-
grade and concrete recommendations. R-Value testing was.completed.for hardscape and
pavement recommendations. The results and expanded explanation of laboratory testing are
presented in Appendix C and on the Boring Logs, Appendix B.

GEOLOGY/SIESMICITY
Regional Geologic Conditions
The site area is located within the Elsinore-Temecula Trough in the Peninsular Ranges
geomorphic province. The Elsinore-Temecula Trough extends from the Lake Elsinore
Basin, north of the Temecula, to the Agua Tibi Mountains, located south of Temecula.
Topographically, the site lies in a relatively flat area at an elevation of approximately 1100
feet above sea level. Structurally, the area lies within the broad Elsinore Fault Zone with
the Santa Ana Mountains to the west and the Perris Block to the northeast- Quaternary
alluvial deposits 'reportedly reach thicknesses of up to approximately, 3,000 feet in the
central portion of the Elsinore-Temecula Trough. Within the Elsinore Trough, these
sediments overlie pre-Tertiary crystalline bedrock. The Tertiary Bedford Canyon Formation
underlies the Santa Rosa Mountains southwest of the Temecula Valley.
Site Geologic Conditions
The'site is located along the north.side of Nicolas Road between.Roripaugh Road and
Winchester Road in Temecula, California. The ground surface is relatively flat and slopes
gently toward the west ai a slope angle of approximately 40 feet per mile. The site vicinity
is drained by Santa Gertrudes Creek. The site is underlain_by alluvium derived from
weathering of poorly consolidated and poorly-cemented silty sandstone of the Quaternary
age Pauba formation that craps out on the hills in the immediate site vicinity (CDMG,
1991). Where encountered in the borings advanced for this investigation, the native
alluvium consists of brown, moist, dense to very dense silt and sand with scattered gravel
and was generally encountered at a depth of approximately 1-foot below the existing
plowed ground.
According to the USDA Soil Conservation Service (1971), soils of the Hanford-Tujunga-
Greenfield soil association occur across the majority of the site. Based on samples retrieved
from the soil borings, and review of the Soil Conservation Service soils report, the most of
the site is underlain by fine sandy loam associated with the Hanford soil series. The soils
which comprise the Hanford soil series consist of well drained to somewhat excessively
drained soils on alluvial fans with slopes ranging from 0 to 15 percent. Typically, the upper
Page 3
DBI Retail Ventures,LLC. Project No. 6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard Log No. 06-1501
18 inches of the soil profile is grayish brown coarse sandy loam underlain by brown,
stratified coarse sandy loam and loamy sand to a depth of approximately five (5) feet.
Historically, these soils have been used for dryland pasture, grains and for irrigated alfalfa ,
potatoes, citrus, and grapes. More recently, they have been extensively developed for
homesites and other developments. According to USDA (1977), the Hanford soil series
has low shrink swell potential and pH values of approximately 6.1 to 7.8.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater was encountered at a depth of approximately 44 feet below ground surface in
boring B1. It is considered possible that, in the future, due to changes in runoff and
infiltration associated with regional site development, groundwater depths could become
shallower. Due to the generally fine-grained nature of the .near surface soils, sudden
fluctuations of groundwater at the site are not likely.
Seismic Hazards
The site is located within the seismically active area of southern California. However, no
active faults appear to exist on the site or immediately adjacent to the site. Seismic risk is
considered relatively high as compared to other areas of southern California, mainly
because of the relatively close proximity to active faulting along the Elsinore Fault zone.
Based on review of the Fault-Rupture Hazards Zones in California, the site is not located
within an earthquake hazard zone. The site is located east of the Elsinore Fault Zone, and
south of the Murrieta Hot Springs Fault (north of Murrieta Hot Springs Road). The
Elsinore Fault Zone is an active northwest trending strike slip fault with probable vertical
displacement of up to 1;500 feet or more and is the major structural feature influencing the
site and site vicinity. The Elsinore fault is located approximately three (3) miles southwest
of the site.
Primary seismic hazards in the site and site vicinity include severe ground shaking,"actual
surface rupture due to faulting, and secondary ground failures such as liquefaction, ground
lurching, lateral spreading, seiche, tsunami, and landslides. Due to the presence of
numerous active faults within the southern California region; severe ground shaking
potential is considered high. However, the actual surface rupture potential due to faulting
Page 4
DBI Retail Ventures, LLC. Project No. 6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard Log No. 06-1501
across any portion of the site is considered very low. Liquefaction is the temporary loss of
cohesion in saturated, granular soils subjected to ground shaking. Because of the soil types
encountered in the four (4).soil borings, the seismic setting of the site, and the depth to
groundwater, a liquefaction analysis was conducted (see below). Lateral spreading is the
horizontal movement of loose, unconsolidated sedimentary deposits or imported fill
material. Lateral spreading potential is considered low. Ground lurching is the horizontal
movement of soil, sediments or fill founded on steep slopes and embankments. Due to the
relatively flat surface and"lack of significant embankments, lateral spreading potential is
considered very low. A seiche is the periodic oscillation of a body of water resulting from
seismic shaking. As there are no surface impoundments or reservoirs in the immediate site
vicinity, seiche potential is also'considered nil. Because the site is located a sufficient
distance inland from the coast and at an elevation of approximately 1100 feet above:sea
level, inundation by tsunamis is not an issue. Finally, landslides are unlikely due to the
relatively flat topography at the site and surrounding site vicinity.
Liquefaction
Liquefaction occurs in water-saturated sediments during moderate to great earthquakes and
results in loss of strength which can damage structures. The soils at the site locally have
clean, medium dense sand layers within 40 feet or less of the ground surface and the site is
in relatively close proximity to active faults. Although the regional groundwater depth at
the site was in excess of 44.0 feet below grade at the time of the field investigation, future
land use changes, utility line leakages and over-irrigation could cause shallow groundwater
or perched groundwater conditions to develop, especially given the presence of low-
permeable interbeds of silt and clay. Review of CDMG(2000)and CDMG(2001) suggests
that the site soils have no to low susceptibility to liquefaction. Nevertheless, based on the
findings of our investigation,a liquefaction analysis was conducted(see below).
Liquefaction, the process by which water-saturated sediment loses strength and may fail
during strong ground shaking, commonly accompanies moderate to great earthquakes
throughout the world. Water-saturated, cohesionless, granular sediment situated at depths
less than 50 feet beneath the surface constitutes the principal environs of the liquefaction
process. A liquefaction assessment was completed using current standards and California
Special Publication 117.
Page 5
DBI Retail Ventures,LLC. Project No. 6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard Log No.06-1501
A liquefaction study was conducted based on the subsurface conditions encountered at B-1,
using current standards and California Special Publication 117, and an assumed ground
water table of 20 feet below ground surface. Details .of the liquefaction analysis are
presented,in Appendix D. Based on the liquefaction study, there are sand layers that may
liquefy during the life of the project due to the design earthquake. Liquefaction of the zone
would.cause up to 1.51 inch of settlement. Due to relatively level nature of the subgrade,
this settlement is expected to produce a maximum of 3/4 inch of differential settlement:
The recommended remedial grading may reduce some of the estimated settlements.
However, we recommend that the structures to be designed to tolerate 1.5 inch and 3/4-inch
of total and differential settlement respectively.
Landslides and Slope Stability
The slope gradient at the site is approximately 40 feet per mile toward the southwest. Slope
stability is not considered an issue on this gently sloping,developed site. Further, according
to CDMG(2001), the site is not within a designated landslide zone.
Seismicity
The computer program FRISKSP (Thomas F. Blake, 2000) was used to calculate the site
accelerations using the probabilistic method. See Appendix D for results. The Design-Basis
Earthquake ground-motion (10% chance of exeedance in 50 years) is 0.60g. The Upper-
Bound Earthquake Ground-Motion(10%chance of exeedance in 100 years) is 0:75g.
The computer program UBSEIS (Thomas F. Blake, 2000) was used to calculate the UBC
seismic factors. The results are located in the.Appendix. The site soil profile is So. The
nearest active fault is the Elsinore-Temecula fault, which is located approximately 3 miles
away:The fault type is B. Selected UBC seismic coefficients are: Na= 1.0,Nv = 1.2, Ca=
0.45 and Cv=0.79(Other parameters may be found in Appendix D).
The computer program EQFAULT(Thomas F. Blake, 2000) was used to deterministically
calculate the maximum peak ground acceleration-for the site. Based on the results, the site
may experience a maximum peak ground acceleration of 0.415 g.

CONCLUSIONS
General Conclusions
Given the findings of the investigation, it appears that the site geology is suitable for the
proposed constriction provided our conclusions are taken into consideration during design,
and our recommendations are incorporated into the construction plans and specifications
and implemented during grading and construction. Based on the investigation, it is our
opinion that the proposed development is safe against landslides and ground rupture from
active faults. Grading and construction of the proposed project will not adversely affect the
geologic stability of adjacent properties. The nature and extent of the investigation
conducted for the purposes of this declaration are,in our opinion,in conformance with
generally accepted practice in this area. There appears to be no significant onsite geologic
constraint that cannot be mitigated by proper planning, design, and sound construction
practices.
Excavation Characteristics/Shrinkaee
Based on the drilling for the subsurface investigation, which was done by hollow stem .
auger, excavation of the onsite soil materials can use conventional earthmoving equipment.
Shrinkage of the undocumented fill and alluvium is expected to be 10 to 15 percent.
Settlement Considerations
Based on the known subsurface conditions and site geology, we anticipate that properly
designed and constructed foundations supported on the recommended material would
experience total and differential settlement. As a minimum all foundations bearing into the
engineered fill should be designed to accommodate a total settlement of at least one inch
with a differential settlement of 1/2 inch over a horizontal distance of 50 feet.
Page 7
DBI Retail Ventures,LLC. Project No. 6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard_ Log No. 06-1501
Expansion Potential/Fill
The onsite soils are suitable for use as fill if organic debris is removed prior to placement as
fill. Expansion potential is expected to be very low.
Corrosivity and the On-Site Soils
Based on testing and our experience, concrete in contact with the on-site soils may utilize
type 11 Cement due to low soluble sulfates. Based on the Corrosivity test results,the onsite
soils will be potentially corrosive to ferrous metals. We recommend Corrosion Engineers
be consulted for any ferrous material that may be installed in direct contact with onsite soils.
Site Coe fficient/Subgmde Modulus
The Subgrade Modulus may be taken as 105 psi per inch. In compliance with the 1997
Uniform Building Code the site is Type So and the Seismic Coefficients presented in
Appendix D may be used.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Our recommendations are considered minimum and may be superseded by more conservative
requirements of the architect, structural engineer, building code, or governing agencies. The
foundation recommendations are based on the expansion index and shear strength of the onsite
soils. Import soils, if necessary should not exceed the existing expansion potential and should be
approved by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to importing to the site. hi addition to the
recommendations in this section, additional general earthwork and grading specifications are
included in Appendix E.
Site Grading Recommendations
General Compaction Standard: All fills should be compacted to at least 90 percent of
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM Test Method 131557-96. Fill materials
should be placed in loose lifts, not.thicker than 8 inches. Material should be moisture-
Page 8
DBI Retail Ventures, LLC. Project No.6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard Log No. 06-1501
conditioned as processed as necessary to achieve a uniform moisture content that is over
optimum and within moisture limits required to achieve adequate bonding between lifts and
compaction.
Site Overexcavation
Building plans, grading plans and foundation elevations are not available at this time. When
these plans become available this office should review them in-order to make additional
recommendations,if necessary.
All organics, debris, trash and topsoils should be removed offsite. To provide a uniform
bearing support across the proposed building pad, we recommend the pad area to be over
excavated to a minimum of 4 feet below the existing surface or 2 feet below the bottom of
footings,whichever is lower in elevation. Ibe horizontal limits of over excavation beyond
the perimeter footings should be equal to the depth of over excavation, but not less than 5
feet Hardscape areas which include paving sections will require a minimum of 2 feet of
removal and recompaction. Processing for hardscape should extend to a minimum of 2 feet
outside the structural limits.
The excavated on site material, moisture conditioned to approximately the optimum
moisture content, could be used for back fill in the over excavation. The fill should be
compacted to a minimum of 90%of the maximum dry density per ASTM D-1557-96.
Foundation and BuildingSlabs
labs
Spread Footings
An allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf may be used for conventional shallow footing
design for the minimum embedment recommended below. This value may be increased by
200 psf per additional foot of embedment and 100 psf per foot of width for a total not to
exceed 3,000 psf. The allowable bearing pressure may be inereased,by one-third for wind
or seismic loading. Continuous footing should be reinforced with one 44 reinforcing steel
bars, top and bottom as a minimum. The recommended minimum footing widths are 12
Page 9
DBI Retail Ventures, LLC. Project No. 6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard Log No. 06-1501
and 24 inches for continuous and isolated footings respectively. The embedment should be
a minimum of 24 inches for perimeter footings or 18 inches for interior footings
Soil resistance developed against lateral structural movement can be obtained from the
passive pressure value of 300 pcf. Further,for sliding resistance,a friction coefficient of 0.3
may be used at the concrete and soil interface. In combining the total lateral resistance,
either the passive pressure or the friction of resistance should be reduced by 50 percent. In
addition, the lateral passive resistance is taken into account only if it is ensured that the soil
against embedded strictures will remain intact with time.
Concrete and the On-Site Soils
Based on testing and our experience, concrete in contact with the on-site soils may utilize
type II Cement.
Retaining Walls
Embedded structural walls should be designed for lateral earth pressures exerted on them.
The magnitude of these pressures depends on the amount of deformation that the wall can
yield under load If the wall can yield enough to mobilize the full shear strength of the soil,
it can be designed for "active" pressure. If the wall cannot yield under the applied load,the
shear strength of the soil cannot be mobilized and the earth pressure will be higher. Such
walls as basement and swimming pools should be designed for the "at rest" conditions. If a
structure moves toward the soils, the resulting resistance developed by the soil is the
"passive" resistance.
For design purposes, the recommended equivalent fluid pressure for each case for walls
founded above the static ground water table and backfilled with nonexpansive soils is
provided below. Retaining wall backfill should be compacted to at least 90 percent relative
compaction (based on ASTM Test Method D1557-91). Recommended pressures are shown
on Table 1.

Condition Level 2:1 (H:V)Slone
Active 40 70
At-Rest 50 95
Passive 300 140
(Maximum of 3 ksf) (Sloping Down)
It is recommended that the footings be embedded at least 24 inches below lowest adjacent
finish grade. In addition, the wall footings should be designed and reinforced with
structural considerations. For walls less than 15 feet in height, the back cut should be
flattened to a gradient of not steeper and 1:1(H: V)slope inclination.
The walls may be drained by a vertical layer of Miradrain 6200 with Mirafi 140 Geofabric,
or equivalent, placed at the back of the wall; or by a minimum 12-inch width of 3/4 inch
open-graded crushed gravel enveloped in Mirafi 140 Geofabric. Subdrains should consist
of 4-inch diameter Schedule 40, PVC pipe or equivalent, embedded in approximately 1
Olinear foot of 3/4-inch down open-graded gravel, enveloped in Mirafi 140 Geofabric
Filter or equivalent, with the pipe being 3+inches above the trench bottom; a gradient of at
least 1% being provided to the pipe and trench bottom; discharging into suitably protected
outlets. Alternatively low retaining walls (less than 5 feet retained) may use weep holes.
The Factor of Safety used in calculating the above fluid pressures and coefficient is 1.5.
Slab-on grade Recommendations
The recommended minimum slab-on-grade should be a nominal 5 inches in thickness,
reinforced with#3 reinforcing bars on 18-incb centers in both directions. A thicker slab-on-
grade with heavier reinforcement may be required based upon the proposed loading
conditions in the structure. Anticipated dynamic settlements due to liquefaction should be
also considered in the design of slab thickness and reinforcements.
Page 11
DBI Retail Ventures, LLC. Project No. 6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard Log No. 06-1501
Where moisture sensitive flooring is anticipated the placement of membrane with 2 inches
of free draining sand placed above and below the membrane is recommended. The
membrane as a minimum should be 10-mil visqueen.
Prewetting Recommendation
Due to the low expansion potential of the onsite soils,the soils underlying the slab-on-grade
should be prewetted only to prevent water loss in the concrete foundations and slabs.
Pavement Recommendations
We have assumed a Traffic Index of 4 for parking areas, 5.5 for travel lanes and 7.5 for
heavy truck lanes. Where the pavement is subject to repeated turning stress (i.e. Trash
Enclosures Aprons) the pavement should be PCC. Based on the R-Value test result of 19,
we recommend the following pavement sections.
V t _ TRAFFIC , AC, BASE
INDEX TIBCKNESS` TI-HCKNESS
Parking Areas 4.0 3.0 inches 5.0 inches
Driveways 5.5 4.0 inches 8.0 inches
Heavy Truck Lanes 7.5 6.0 inches 11.0 inches
Base for paving should be compacted to 95 percent of maximum in accordance with the
overexcavation section. Minimum reinforcing should be considered for the concrete and
the concrete should be placed on subgrade compacted to 90 percent of ASTM D 1557.
The R-Value should be confirmed and the sections recalculated where necessary at the
completion of grading.

Construction Considerations
Moisture Sensitive Soils/Weather Related Concerns
The upper soils encountered at this site may be sensitive to disturbances caused
by construction traffic and to changes in moisture content. During wet weather
periods, increases in the moisture content of, the soil•can cause significant
reduction in the soil strength and support capabilities. In addition,soils that become
wet may be slow to dry and thus significantly retard the,progress of grading and
compaction activities. It will,therefore,be advantageous to perform earthwork and
foundation construction activities during dry weather.
Much of the on-site soils may be susceptible to erosion during periods of
inclement weather. As a result, the project Civil Engineer/Architect and
Grading Contractor should take appropriate precautions to reduce the potential
for erosion during and after construction.
Drainage and Groundwater Considerations
Groundwater was encountered at approximately 44 feet below existing grade. It
should be noted, however, that variations in the ground water table may result from
fluctuation in the ground surface topography, subsurface stratification, precipitation,
irrigation,and other factors that may not have evident at the time of our exploration.
This sometimes occurs where relatively impermeable and/or cemented formational
materials are overlain by fill soils. In addition, during retaining wall excavations,
seepage maybe encountered. We recommend that a representative of MTGL, Inc.
be present during grading operations to evaluate areas of seepage. Drainage devices
for reduction of water accumulation can be recommended if these conditions occur.
Water should not be allowed to collect in the foundation excavation, on floor
slab areas, or on prepared subgrades of the construction area either during or after
Page 13.
DBI Retail Ventures,LLC. Project No.6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard Log No. 06-1501
construction. Undercut or excavated areas should be sloped toward one comer to
facilitate removal of any collected rainwater,groundwater,or surface runoff.
Positive site drainage should be provided to reduce infiltration of surface water
around the perimeter of the building and beneath the Floor slabs. The grades should
be sloped away from the building and surface drainage should be collected and
discharged such that water is not permitted to infiltrate the backflll and floor slab
areas of the building.
Excavations
In Federal Register, Volume 54, No. 209 (October 1989), the United States
Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
amended its "Construction Standards for Excavations, 29 CFR, part 1926, Subpart
P". This document was issued to better insure the safety of workmen entering
trenches or excavations. It is mandated by this federal regulation that excavations,
whether they be utility trenches,basement excavation or foundation excavations, be
constructed in accordance with the new OSHA guidelines. It is our understanding
that these regulations are being strictly enforced and if they are not closely followed
the owner and the contractor could be liable for substantial penalties.
The contractor is solely responsible for designing and constructing stable,
temporary excavations and should shore, slope, or bench the sides of the
excavations as.required 'to maintain stability of both the excavation sides and
bottom. The contractor's "responsible person",as defined in 29 CFR Part 1926,
should evaluate the soil exposed in the excavations as part of the contractor's
safety procedures. In no ease should slope height, slope inclination, or
excavation depth, including utility trench excavation depth, exceed those
specified in local, state,and federal safety regulations.
Utility Trenches
Except where extending perpendicular under proposed foundations, utility trenches
Page 14
DBI Retail Ventures, LLC. Project No.6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard Log No. 06-1501
should be constructed outside a 1:1 projection from the base-of-foundations. Trench
excavations for utility lines, which extend under structural areas should be properly
backfrlled and compacted.
Utilities should be bedded and backfilled with clean sand or approved granular
soil to a depth of at least 1-foot over the pipe. This backfill should be
uniformly watered and compacted to a &run condition for pipe support. The
remainder of the backfill shall be typical on-site soil or imported soil which should
be placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in thickness, watered or aerated close to
optimum moisture content, and mechanically compacted to at least 90 percent of
maximum dry density(based on ASTM D155n.
Site Drainaee
The site should be drained to provide for positive drainage away from structures in
accordance with the building code and applicable local requirements. Unpaved areas
should slope no less than 2% away from structure. Paved areas should slope no less than
1% away from structures. Concentrated roof and surface drainage from the site should be
collected in engineered, non-erosive drainage devices and conducted to a safe point of
discharge. The site drainage should be designed by a civil engineer.
Geotechnical Observation/Testing of Earthwork Operations
The recommendations provided in this report are based on preliminary design information
and subsurface conditions as interpreted from the investigation. Our preliminary conclusion
and recommendations should be reviewed and verified during site grading, and revised
accordingly if exposed Geotechnical conditions vary from our preliminary findings and
interpretations. The Geotechnical consultant should perform Geotechnical observation and
testing during the following phases of grading and construction:
During site grading and overexcavation.
During foundation excavation and placement.
Upon completion of any foundation and retaining wall footing excavation prior to
Page 15
DBI Retail Ventures,LLC. Project No. 6625-A02
Chaparral Courtyard Log No. 06-1501
placing concrete.
During excavation and backfilling of all utility trenches'.
During processing and compaction of the subgntde for the access and parking areas
and prior to construction of pavement sections.
When any unusual or unexpected Geoteehnical,conditions are encountered during
any phase of construction.
LIMITATIONS
The analyses, conclusions, and recommendations contained in this report are based on site
conditions as they existed at the time of our investigation and further assume the explorations to be
representative of the subsurface conditions throughout the site. If different subsurface conditions
are observed during construction, we should be promptly notified for review and reconsideration of
our recommendations.
This report was prepared for the exclusive use and benefit of the owner, architect, and engineer for
evaluating the design of the facilities as it relates to geotechnical aspects. It should be made
available to prospective contractors for information on factual data only, and not as a warranty of
subsurface conditions included in this report.
Our investigation was performed using the standard of care and level of skill ordinarily exercised
under similar circumstances by reputable soil engineers and geologists currently practicing in this or
similar localities. No other warranty, express or implied, is made as to the conclusions and
professional advice included in this report.

APPENDIX E
GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING SPECLFICATIONS
1. rFVFRAr
These specifications present general procedures and requirements for grading and earthwork as shown on
the approved grading plans, including preparation of areas to be filled,placement of fill,installation of
subdrains,and excavations. The recommendations contained in the attached geotechnical report are a
part of the earthwork and grading specifications and shall supersede the provisions contained herein in
the case of conflict Evaluations performed by the Consultant during the course of grading may result
in new recommendations,which could supersede these specifications,or the recommendations of the
geotechnical report.
Z FARTHWC)RKnRCFRVA7TOMANnT-FMWr
Prior to the start of grading,a qualified Geotechnical Consultant(Geotechnical Engineer and Engineering
Geologist)shall be employed for the purpose of observing earthwork procedures and testing the fills for
conformance with the recommendations of the geotechnical report and these specifications. It will be
necessary that the Consultant provide adequate testing and observation so that he may determine that
the work'was accomplished as specified. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to assist the
Consultant and keep them apprised of work schedules and changes so that he may schedule his
personnel accordingly.
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 or agency ordinances,these
specifications and the approved grading plans.
Maximum dry.density tests used to determine the degree of compaction will be performed in accordance
with the American Society for Testing and Materials Test Method(ASTM)D1557-91 or later revision.
3. PRFPARA-"OM nF ARFA4Tn RF FR 1 lzD
Clearing and rru bbing: All brush,vegetation and debris shall be removed or piled and otherwise disposed
of.
Processing- The existing ground which is determined to be satisfactory for support of fill shall be scarified to
a minimum depth of 6 inches. Existing ground,which is not satisfactory,shall be overexcavated as
specified in the following section.
nvcra ravafinn- Soft,dry,spongy,highly fractured or otherwise unsuitable ground,extending to such a
depth that surface processing cannot adequately improve the condition,shall be overexcavated down to
firm ground,approved by the Consultant.
M kture r ditinuing: Overexcavated and processed soils shall be watered,dried-back,blended;and mixed
as required to have a relatively uniform moisture content near the optimum moisture content as
determined by ASTM D1557.
Rarnm a[ rtinn. Overexcavated and processed soils,which have been mixed,and moisture conditioned
uniformly shall be recompacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent of ASI'M D1557.
Rem Where soils are placed on ground with slopes steeper than 5:1 (horizontal to vertical),the ground
shall be stepped or benched. Benches shall be excavated in firm material for a minimum width of 4 feet
4. FIT 1 MATERTAI
General Material to be placed as fill shall be free of organic matter and other deleterious substances,and
shall be approved by the Consultant
nvorti7n- Oversized material defined as rock,or other irreducible material with a maximum dimension
greater than 12 inches,shall not be buried or placed in fill,unless the location, material,and disposal
methods are specifically approved by the Consultant Oversize disposal operations shall 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 shall not be placed within 10 feet
vertically of finish grade or within the range of future utilities or underground construction,unless
specifically approved by the Consultant.
Import If importing of fill material is required for grading,the import material shall meet the general
requirements.
5. FrII mACFMFMr AlrnrntmarrrnM
Fill I ifis Approved fill material shall be placed in areas prepared to receive fill in near-horizontal layers not
exceeding 6 inches in compacted thickness. The Consultant may approve thicker lifts if testing indicates
the grading procedures are such that adequate compaction is being achieved with lifts of greater
thickness. Each layer shall be spread evenly and shall be thoroughly mixed during spreading to attain
uniformity of material and moisture in each layer.
Fiu Mnich.rm• Fill layers at a moisture content less than optimum shall be watered and mixed,and'wet fill
layers shall be aerated by scarification or shall be blended with drier materiaL Moisture conditioning
and mixing of fill layers shall continue until the fill material is at uniform moisture content at or near
optimum_
romnarhon of Eill; After each layer has been evenly spread,moisture conditioned,and mixed,it shall be
uniformly compacted to not less that 90 percent of maximum dry density in accordance with ASPM
D1557. Compaction equipment shall be adequately sized and shall be either specifically designed for
soil compaction or of proven reliability,to efficiently achieve the specified degree of compaction.
F'Il Clnpes- Compacting on slopes shall be accomplished,in addition to normal compacting procedures,by
backrolling of slopes with sheepsfoot rollers at frequent increments of 2 to 3 feet as the fill is placed,or
by other methods producing satisfactory results. At the completion of grading,the relative compaction
of the slope out to the slope face shall be at least 90 percent in accordance with ASl'M D1557.
Cmi artion Tmcfing: Field tests to check the fill moisture and degree of compaction will be performed by the
consultant The location and frequency of tests shall be at the consultant's discretion. In general,these
tests will betake at an interval not exceeding 2 feet in vertical rise,and/or 1,000 cubic yards of fill
placed. In addition,on slope faces,at least one test shall be taken for each 5,000 square feet of slope face
and/or each 10 feet of vertical height of slope.
6, SiTR1lRAT1Q IArgI Arr ATIOM
Subdrain systems,if required,shall be installed in approved ground to conform to the approximate
alignment and details shown on the plans or herein. The subdrain location or materials shall not be
changed or modified without the approval of the Consultant, The Consultant,however,may
recommend and,upon approva4 direct changes in subdrain line,grade or materials. All subdrains
should be surveyed for line and grade after installation and sufficient time shall be allowed for the
surveys, prior to commencement of fill over the subdrain.
7. FXCAVATInM
Excavations and cut slopes will be examined during grading. if directed by the Consultant,further
excavation or overexcavation and refilling of cut areas,and/or remedial grading of cut slopes shall be
performed. Where fill over cut slopes are to be graded,unless otherwise approved,the cut portion of
the slope shall be made and approved by the Consultant prior to placement of materials for construction
of the fill portion of the slope.
