Gentlemen:
INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our observation and testing
performed during construction and fine grading of the main
residential and attached garage pad, short access driveway from
Calle Fiesta, and the long access driveway to the rear or west
side of the lot.
.
The property is located approximately 375 feet southwest of the
intersection of Via Norte and Calle Fiesta both improved paved
roads in the Temecula area of Riverside County. Grading consisted
of cutting on the east and north side of the pad and placing fill
on the west and south. Maximum cuts and fills were 16 and 26 feet
respectfully at finished inclinations of 2:1 (horizontal to
vertical) or flatter. Maximum overexcavation of alluvium was 4.3
feet from original ground in the lower key area. The results of
our Field Density Tests obtained during grading are tabulated in
Table I, Results of Compaction Tests. The approximate locations
of the tests are shown on the Plot Plan, Plate 1.
The 40-scale Grading Plan, prepared by Elliott Uhrich, Temecula,
dated April 2001, was used to direct the grading along with field
staking.
proiect Description
The proposed development consisted of construction of a house and
attached garage pad. A short access driveway from Calle Fiesta
and long access road to the lower western portions of the
property was also constructed. The pad and lower access driveway
consisted of fills and cuts to 26 feet was constructed to provide
access to western portion of the lot.

Purcose of Gradina
The purpose of the grading was to prepare the site for the
proposed construction of the one and two-story single family main
residence with attached garage. A short access driveway access
was provided to the house from Calle Fiesta, and to natural areas
on the western side of the lot.
GRADING PROCEDURES
Gradina Procedures
The site had heavy weeds and grasses, and clearing and grubbing
was performed prior to the start of grading. The cleared material
was removed off-site for disposal. The areas to receive fill were
over excavated to a maximum depth of 4.3 feet until the underlying
dense sedimentary bedrock was encountered.
Keys for the fills were required as shown on Plate 1.
Water was supplied with a 4000-gallon water truck, and the soil
was compacted with a combination of Caterpillar D6D bulldozer,
and 966C rubber-tired front-end loader.
The grading contractor was Full House Construction of Temecula.
TESTING
Field Densitv Testina
Field density testing was performed in accordance with ASTM
D1556-64 (Sand Cone Method). The elevations and the results of
the field density tests are presented in Table I of this report.
The approximate location of the tests are shown on the Grading
Plan, Plate 1.
Maximum Densitv Determinations
Maximum density/optimum moisture determinations were made from
representative samples of on-site soils used in the fill
operations. The tests were performed in accordance with ASTM D
1557 which consist of compacting 5 equal layers of soil in a 1/30
cubic foot volume mold with 25 blows of a 10 pound hammer falling
18 inches. The results of the Maximum density/optimum
determination are presented herein as Table II, Laboratory Test
Results.
Excansion/Soluble Sulfate Testina
A finished grade sample was obtained and tested for expansion
utilizing the U.B.C. 29-2 method. The test yielded an expansion
index (E.I.) of 10 which is very low expansion.

21186-01
Page 4
The finished grade soils had a soluble sulfate content of 51 ppm.
Normal Type II cement with 2500psi may be used in construction.
Settlement
Based on the grading performed, the compaction, and soil strength
values the total settlement will be 1 inch with less than 3/4
inch of differential settlement between footings of similar size,
construction and loads over a horizontal distance of 50 feet.
SUMMARY
Our description of grading and backfill operations, as well as
observations and testing services, were limited to those grading
operations performed between May 14 and May 22, 2001. The
conclusions and recommendations contained herein have been based
upon our observation and testing as noted. To the best of our
knowledge, the work preformed in the areas of our
responsibilities is in accordance with the recommendations of the
referenced report, City of Temecula Grading Ordinance, and
applicable provisions of Appendix Chapter 33 of the UBC. The pad
is acceptable for its intended purpose.
The cut slopes are constructed in sedimentary bedrock and are
stable as constructed.
No conclusions or warranties are made for areas not tested or
observed. This report should be considered subject to review by
the controlling authorities.
This opportunity to be of service is sincerely appreciated. If
you have any questions, please call.
