1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
It is understood that the subject site is to be developed with a single family residence as
well as a separate garage structure with slab-an-grade concrete floors supported on
conventional continuous and pier footings with associated driveway and landscaping areas.
2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
2.1 TIME OF GRADING
This report represents geotechnical observations and testing during the construction
operations from February 5, 2001 to February 22, 2001.
2.2 CONTRACTOR AND EQUIPMENT
The grading operations were performed by PDQ Equipment through the use of one (1)
CAT 623 scraper, one (1) D4 dozer, and one (1) water truck.
2.3 GRADING OPERATIONS
Grading within the subject site consisted of a cutlfill operation, Grasses and weeds were
removed prior to fill placement Fill material was generated from the rear cut portions of
the site, and used to bring the fill slope and building pad portions of the site to finish grade
elevation. Removal of alluvium, slopewash, etc., was performed to a depth of 3-feet below
original elevation. Bottoms were observed, probed and found to be into competent bedrock
by a representative of this firm. Keying and benching through the existing undocumented
fill and into competent bedrock was observed during the grading operations. Over-
excavation was performed in the cut portion of the building pads to a depth of 3 to 4-feet
below finish grade elevation and to a distance of 5 to 10-feet outside the proposed
structure. The exposed bottoms were scarified and moisture conditioned to a depth of 12-
inches then compacted to 90 percent. Fill was placed in lens thicknesses of 6 to 8-inches,
thoroughly moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture content, then compacted to a
minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. Moisture conditioning of the on-site soils was
performed during the compaction process, through the use of a water truck. The pad areas
were generally graded to the elevations noted on the Grading Plan. However, the actual
pad locations, dimensions, elevations, slope locations and inclinations, etc. were surveyed
and staked by others and should be verified by the Project Civil Engineer.

3.0 TESTING
3.1 FIELD TESTING PROCEDURES
Field in-place density and moisture content testing were performed in general accordance
with ASTM-D-2922-81 (90) and ASTM-D-3017-88 procedures for determining in-place
density and moisture content, respectively, using nuclear gauge equipment. Relative
compaction test results were within the 90 percent required for all material tested, which is
an indication that the remainder of the fill placed has been properly compacted. Test
results are presented in the Appendix of this report. Fill depths and test locations (by
station numbers when applicable) were determined from review of the referenced grading
plans.
3.2 LABORATORY TESTING
The following laboratory tests were performed as part of our services during the grading of
the subject site. The test results are presented in the Appendix of this report.
3.2,1 Moisture-Density Relationship Test
Maximum dry density - optimum moisture content relationship tests were conducted on
samples of the materials used as fill. The tests were performed in general accordance with
ASTM D1557-91 procedures. The test results are presented in the Appendix (Summary of
Optimum Moisture Content I Maximum Dry Density Relationship Test Results).
3,2,2 Expansion Index Test
A soil sample was obtained for expansion potential testing from the building pad area upon
completion of rough grading of the subject site. The expansion test procedure utilized was
the Uniform Building Code Test Designation 18-2, The material tested consisted of brown
silty sand with percentages of clay, which has an Expansion Index of 11. This soil is
classified as having a very low expansion potential. The results are presented in the
Appendix (Summary of Expansion Index Test Results),
3.2.3 Soluble Sulfate Test
Soil samples were obtained for soluble sulfate testing from the building pad areas upon
completion of grading of the subject site, The concentration of soluble sulfate was
determined in general accordance with California Test Method 417 procedures. The test
results indicate a low percentage of water soluble sulfates (0.0022% by weight), as a result
no sulfate resistant concretes are necessary, The test results are presented in the
Appendix (Summary of Soluble Sulfate Test Results).

4.0 EARTH MATERIALS
The natural earth materials encountered on-site generally consisted of brown silty coarse
sands with percentages of clay,
5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
No conditions were encountered which would cause a change in the previously provided
design and construction recommendations. As a result, design and construction should
adhere to the recommendations provided in the Referenced No. 1 Limited Geotechnical
Study.
5.1 GENERAL
Based on the observations and tests performed during grading, the subject site, in the
areas noted as test locations, has been completed in accordance with the Referenced No,
1 report, the project plans and the Grading Code of the City of Temecula. The graded site,
in the areas noted as graded, is determined to be adequate for the support of a typical
residential development. Any subsequent grading for development of the subject property
should be performed under engineering observation and testing performed by EnGEN
Corporation. Subsequent grading includes, but is not limited to, any additional fill
placement and excavation of temporary and permanent cut and fill slopes. In addition,
EnGEN Corporation should observe all foundation excavations. Observations should be
made prior to installation of concrete forms and/or reinforcing steel so as to verify and/or
modify, if necessary, the conclusions and recommendations in this report. Observations of
overexcavation cuts, fill placement, finish grading, utility or other trench backfill, pavement
subgrade and base course, retaining wall backfill, slab presaturation, or other earth work
completed for the development of subject site should be performed by EnGEN
Corporation. If any of the observations and testing to verify site geotechnical conditions
are not performed by EnGEN Corporation, liability for the safety and performance of the
development is limited to the actual portions of the project observed and/or tested by
EnGEN Corporation.
