Dear Mr. Plunkett:
TNTRODTJCTlON
This report presents the results of our site inspection and geotechnical review of the above-
mentioned lot. The geographical relationships of the site and surrounding area are shown on our
Site Location Map, Figure 1. This pad was reported as a cut-to-fill tra.11Sition lot. There were no
obvious signs of compromise observed on the pad surfaces during this assessment, with the
exception of an eroded area in the driveway.
Plans relevant to the subject property were reviewed to confirm the field observations and are
included as Appendix A of this report.

Subsurface exploration, field reconnaissance, and mapping of the site were conducted on March 17,
2004. Four exploratory trenches were advanced utilizing a Case No. 580 Super M extenda-backhoe
equipped with a 24-inch bucket. Exploratory trench T-1 was advanced to the maximum depth
explored of9.0-ft below the ground surface (bgs).
Information collected during our field mapping and the approximate location of the exploratory
borings and trenches are depicted on our Geotechnical Map, Plate 1. Our field geologist prepared
field logs, performed in-place density tests and obtained bulk soil samples for laboratory testing and
supervised excavation of the trenches. Copies of our exploratory trench logs are presented in
Appendix B.

Representative bulk and in-place soil samples of the onsite soils encountered during our site
investigation were obtained for laboratory testing. Laboratory testing to determine the engineering
parameters of representative soils included maximum density/optimum moisture, sieve analysis,
soluble sulfate content, corrosivity suite and expansion index.
Laboratory testing was conducted in accordance with ASTM, Caltrans, and Uniform Building Code
(UBC) test specifications, where applicable. The results of our laboratory tests are presented in
Appendix C of this report. E. S. Babcock & Sons, Inc. of Riverside, California performed soluble
sulfate and corrosivity suite testing.

The site is located in a region of generally high seismicity, as is all of southem California, During
its design life, the site is expected to experience strong ground motions from earthquakes on
regional and/or local causative faults. Based on GIS records provided by the City of Temecula, the
southwest portion of the subject site is located within a State of California Alquist Priolo Fault
Rupture Hazard Fault Zone (Hart, 2000), however no active faults are known to traverse the site
(Kennedy, 1977). The closest known active fault is the Elsinore Fault Zone (Glen Ivy) located
within 2.0-kilometers to the southwest (ICBO, 1998) of the subject site.
The approximate location of the fault rupture hazard zone is presented on our revised Plate 1. The
proposed single-family residence is located a minimum of 260-ft from the fault hazard zone, which
allows for an adequate setback from any possible active fault. That portion of the subject site
located in the fault rupture zone is also located in an existing MWD easement and no structures are
planned and/or allowed within this area. In accordance with Section 2621.6 (a) (2) (A), a fault
investigation is not required for the subject structure, which is excepted owing to its classification
as "A single-family wood-frame or steel-frame dwelling not exceeding two stories when that
dwelling in not part of a development of four or more dwellings".
2001 California Building Code (CBC) Factors specific to the subject site are as follows:
The site is located within 2.0-kilometers from the Elsinore fault (Glen Ivy) zone (ICBO,
1998).
The Elsinore fault (Glen Ivy) is reported as a Type B fault (ICBO, 1998; and 2001 CBC
Table l6-U) in the vicinity of the subject site.

The site is within Seismic Zone 4 (2001 CBe Figure 16-2, Table 16-1).
The soil profile for the site is SD(2001 CBC Table 16-J).
The near source acceleration (Na') and velocity (Nv I) with respect to the subject site are 1.3
and 1.6, respectively (2001 CBC Tables 16-S and 16-T).
The site seismic coefficients of acceleration (Ca) and velocity (Cv) are 0.44Na and 0.64Nv,
respectively (2001 CBC Tables l6-Q and 16-R).
Based on the above values, the coefficient of acceleration (Ca) is 0.57 and a coefficient of
velocity (Cv) is 1.02.for the subject site.
The Wildomar Fault of the Elsinore Fault zone (Glen Ivy Segment) is characterized as a right lateral
strike slip fault with a total length of approximately 38 kilometers (CDMG, 1996). The State of
California has assigned the Elsinore Fault (Glen Ivy Segment) a slip rate of 5 mm/yr. (+/- 2 mm/yr.)
with a recurrence interval of 340 years (CDMG, 1996). This fault segment has been assigned a
maximum moment magnitude of 6.8.

Soil liquefaction is the loss of soil strength due to increased pore water pressures caused by a
significant ground shaking (seismic) event. Liquefaction typically consists of the re-arrangement of
the soil particles into a denser condition resulting, in this case, in localized areas of settlement, sand
boils, and flow failures. Areas underlain by loose to medium dense cohesionless soils, where
groundwater is within 30 to 40 feet of the surface, are particularly susceptible when subject to
ground accelerations such as those due to earthquake motion. The liquefaction potential is generally
considered greatest in saturated loose, poorly graded fine sands with a mean grain size (050) in the
range of 0.075 to 0.2mm. Typically, liquefaction has a relatively low potential at depths greater than
45-ft and is virtually unknown below a depth of 60-ft.
Procedures outlined in two publications, 1) The Guidelines for Evaluation and Mitigation of
Seismic Hazards in California, Special Publication 117: Department of Conservation, Division of
Mines and Geology (1997); and 2) Recommendations for Implementation of DMG Special
Publication 117: Guidelines of Analyzing and Mitigation, Liquefaction Hazards in Califomia:
Southem California Earthquake Center University of Southern California (1997), provide for a
"screening study" in lieu of a complete liquefaction analysis. It is our opinion that, due to the depth
to groundwater of + 1 OO-ft (Rancho Water District, 1984)), as well as the dense to very dense
sedimentary bedrock underlying the subject site at depth, liquefaction and other shallow

groundwater related hazards are not anticipated, and further analysis appears to be unwarranted at
this time. Based on the above information, the liquefaction potential is anticipated to be negligible.
Se~nnrl9Q' H979rcls:
Due to the absence of known faulting in the vicinity of the proposed residence and shallow
sedimentary bedrock underlying the subject site, the' distance from large bodies of water, the
potential for secondary seismic hazards, including ground rupture, seiches, and seismically
induced soil settlement, are considered unlikely.
The subject site is located in an area of moderately steep terrain that is free of large rock and the
potential for rockfall is anticipated to be negligible.
No geomorphic expression of landsliding or slope instability was noted during our aerial
photograph examination or site mapping. In general, the potential for landsliding during a seismic
event is considered negligible.

Based on the results of our investigation, the proposed residence is feasible from a geotechnical
standpoint, provided the recommendations and information contained in this report are
implemented during planning, design and construction.

The subject pad has incurred minimal erosion damage since the completion of rough grading
operations. Minor erosion rills were observed within the existing driveway and fill slopes. These
areas should be scarified a minimum of 1-ft below the ground surface, moisture conditioned to near
optimum moisture, and recompacted to 90 percent of the maximum density as determined by
ASTM D-1557.
Cut-tn-Fill Tron.itinn
Due to the existing cut-to-fill transition located on the subject pad, the proposed building pad
should be overexcavated a minimum of 3-ft below finish grade elevation or 2-ft below bottom of
footings, whichever is deeper. The overexcavation should extend a minimum of 5-ft outside the
building footprint or distances equal to the overexcavation depth, whichever is greater. The
overexcavation should expose medium dense, competent sedimentary bedrock or compacted fill
soils that are free of voids and roots with a minimum of90 percent of the maximum dry density as

determined by ASTM D-1557. The soils engineer and/or geologist should veritY the depth of
removals in the field. In areas that do not yield competent material and/or areas containing large
trees with deep root systems, basements, and/or septic systems, deeper removals may be necessary.
Site Prep9r~ltinn
Prior to placement of fill materials, the exposed earth materials should be scarified a minimum of
12-inches bgs, moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture content, and recompacted to a
minimum of90-percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D-1557.
Fill PI9rement
Onsite earth materials are expected to be suitable for use as structural fill provided they are free of
organics and are non-expansive. A qualified soil engineer should test import materials to determine
their feasibility for use as structural fill. Fill imported from off-site areas should have low to very
low expansion potential. The project geotechnical consultant should approve imported soils. At
least two working days notice should be allowed for approval. If laboratory testing is necessary to
obtain approval of the import source, an additional I to 2 days should be allowed.
Approved fill material should be placed in 6 to 8-inch lifts, brought to at least optimum moisture
content, and compacted to a minimum 90 percent of the maximum laboratory dry density, as
determined by the ASTM D 1557 test method. No rocks, chunks of asphalt or concrete larger than
6 inches in diameter should be used as fill material. Rocks larger than 6 inches should either be
hauled off-site or crushed and used as fill material.
F,Yp9n~ion lndey Testing-
An expansion index test was performed on representative onsite soil samples collected during our
investigation. The results, which are listed in Appendix C, indicate that the expansion index for
the onsite soils varied from 19 to 40, which is equivalent to very low and low expansion potentials,
respectively (Table l8-I-B - 2001 CBC). Additional testing for expansion should be conducted
within the building pads at the completion of overexcavation and recompaction, and final
recommendations should be made at that time. Expansion testing should also be performed on
imported soils prior to their approval as structural fill material.
Pl9dil'ity lndey Testing-
Plasticity Index testing was performed on the sample with an expansion index of 40 encountered
within exploratory trench T-2 @ O-l-ft below the ground surface. The results yielded a plasticity
index of2,7. Test results are presented in Appendix C, Table IV.

Based on our sulfate content testing, it is anticipated that, from a corrosivity standpoint, Type II
Portland Cement can be used for construction. Laboratory analysis, which is listed in Appendix C,
Table III indicate a test result of 17 -ppm (parts-per-million) of water soluble sulfates, which
equates to a negligible sulfate attack hazard (2001 CBC, Table 19-A-4). Sulfate content testing
should be conducted within the building pad at the completion of grading and on imported soils
prior to their approval as structural fill material.
Fonndation Sydt'm.
For one-story structures, all foundation elements should be placed a minimum of 12 inches below
lowest adjacent grade into competent bedrock material, whichever is deeper. An allowable safe soil
bearing capacity of 1800 psf can be considered for continuous spread footings with a minimum
width of 12-inches and a minimum depth of 12-inches below the lowest adjacent grade. The
allowable bearing capacity may be increased by 10% for each 1-ft of depth or 0.5 feet of width, up
to a maximum of 2500 psf. Isolated square footings should be designed by the structural engineer
in accordance with the anticipated loads and the soil parameters given. A friction coefficient of
0.30 can be considered for concrete poured neatly against compacted fill soils. A minimum
reinforcement of 1-#4 bar top and bottom should be utilized.
These values are for dead plus live loads and may be increased by 1/3 for combinations of short
term vertical and horizontal forces. Total differential settlements, under static loads of footings
supported on properly compacted fill or competent native material and sized for the allowable
bearing capacity, are not expected to exceed 1/4 to 1/2 inch. These settlements should occur
primarily during construction.

The following parameters should be considered for lateral loads against permanent structures
founded on fill materials compacted to 90% of the maximum dry density. These values represent

If passive earth pressure and friction are combined to provide required resistance to lateral forces,
the value of the passive pressure should be reduced to two thirds of the above recommendations.
These values may be increased by one third when considering short term loads such as wind or

GrllllingIFmmlllltion PllIn Review
A grading/foundation plan review should be conducted prior to the commencement of construction
to verify the recommendations of this report have been incorporated into the design. Specific
recommendations for site grading should be provided at that time based on actual proposed grading
and site layout. Additional subsurface exploration or fieldwork may be necessary to evaluate
specific areas of the site.
Cnn~tnl{"tinn Monitorinf
Observation and testing during grading, prior to placement of concrete, is essential to verify
compliance with our recommendations and to confirm that the conditions encountered are
consistent with the findings of this investigation, The observations made are believed representative
of the building pad; however, soil and bedrock conditions can vary significantly. As in most
projects, conditions revealed by excavation may be at variance with preliminary fmdings. If these
conditions occur, the possible variations must be evaluated and designs adjusted, as required or
alternate designs recommended.

A, C1assifi"ation
Soils were visually classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System.
Classification was supplemented by index tests such as particle size analysis and moisture
content.
B, Rypansion Tndey
Expansion index tests were performed on representative samples of the onsite soils
remolded ~d tested under a surcharge of 144Ib/ft2, in accordance with Uniform Building
Code Standard No. 29-2. The test results are presented on Figure C-I, Table I.
C, May;mum Density/Optimum Moishlre Content
A maximum density/optimum moisture content relationship was determined for typical
samples of the onsite soils. The laboratory standard used was ASTM 1557-Method A.
The test results are summarized on Figure C-I, Table II and are graphically displayed on
Figure C-2.
D. P9rti~le Sb:e netprmin9tion
A particle size determination, consisting of mechanical analyses (sieve), was performed
on a representative sample of the onsite soils in accordance with ASTM D 422-63. Test
results are graphically displayed on Figure C-3.
E. Soluhle Sulfate Content
A soluble sulfate content test was performed on a representative sample of the onsite
soils. The laboratory standard used was California 417 A. The test results are presented
on Figure C-I, Table III and are graphically displayed on Figure C-4.
F. Pl9dii'ity lntley
Plasticity index testing was performed on representative samples of the on-site soils. The
laboratory standard used was ASTM D 4318. The test results are presented on Figure C-
