EnGEN Corporation, Limited Geotechnical Study, Proposed Residential Structure, Lot 3 of Tract 9833-3, Calle De Vellardo, City of Temecula, County of Riverside, California, Project Number: T1496-LGS, report dated June 22, 1998. 2. Manning Engineering, "As-Built" Grading Plan, Tract 9833-3, Lot 3, City of Temecula, Drawing No. 4 of 4 sheets, dated January 20, 1999. Dear Mr. and Mrs. Garrett: According to your request and signed authorization, EnGEN Corporation has performed field observations, sampling, and in-place density testing at the above referenced site. Submitted, herein, are the test results and the supporting field and laboratory data. 1.0 1.1 PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION PROJECT LOCATION The subject site consists of approximately 2 acres, intersection of Calle De Vellardo and Pescado Drive located northeast of the in the City of Temecula, County of Riverside, California. PROJECT DESCRIPTIO~"\ 1.2 It is understood that. the developed with a single family II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Owen B. and Mary Garrett Project Number: T1460-C February 1999 Page 2 2.0 SCOPE OF WORK 2.1 TIME OF GRADING This report represents geotechnical observations and testing during the construction operations from October 5, 1998 through October 26, 1998. 2.2 CONTRACTOR AND EQUIPMENT The grading operations were performed by P.D.C. through the use of one (1) John Deere self-loading scraper, two (2) track mounted dozers, one (1) motorgrader, and one (1) 4,000 gallon water truck. 2.3 GRADING OPERATIONS Grading within the subject site consisted of a cut/fill operation. Grasses and weeds were removed prior to fill placement. Fill material was generated from the eastern portions of the site, and used to bring the western portion of the site consisting of several multi-level pads to finish grade elevation. Removal of alluvium, slopewash, etc., was performed on the western portion of the site to a depth of 3-feet below original elevation. Ov~r-excavated earth material was stockpiled and later used as fill. Bottoms were observed, probed and found to be into competent soil by a representative of this firm. Keying and benching into competent bedrock was observed during the grading operations. Over-excavation was also performed in the cut portion of the building pad to a depth of 5.0-feet below finish grade elevation and to a distance of 5.0-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 4 to 6-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 area was generally graded to the elevations noted on the Grading Plan. However, the actual pad location, dimensions, elevations, slope locations and inclinations, etc. were surveyed and staked by others and should be verified by the Project Civil Engineer. EnGEN Corporation 4\ /' I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Owen B. and Mary Garrett Project Number: T1460-C February 1999 Page 3 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 placed and compacted. Test results are presented in the Appendix of this report. Fill depths and test locations were determined from review of the referenced grading plans. 3.1.1 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. 3.1.2 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 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 red brown, silty sand, which has an Expansion Index of 4. This soil is classified as having a very low expansion potential. The results are presented in the Summary of Expansion Index Results in the Appendix of this report. 4.0 EARTH MATERIALS The natural earth materials encountered on-site, generally consisted of brown to red brown silty sand. EnGEN Corporation '5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Owen B. and Mary Garrett Project Number: T1460-C February 1999 Page 4 5.0 FOUNDATION DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Foundations for the proposed structure may consist of conventional column footings and continuous wall footings founded upon properly compacted fill. Recommendations for foundation design and construction should be provided by the Structural Engineer in accordance with the latest edition of the UBC and should be based on geotechnical characteristics for a silty sand (SM) and a low expansion potential for the supporting soils and should not preclude more restrictive structural requirements. 6.0 GENERAL Based on the observations and tests performed during grading, the subject site in the areas noted 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.
