Introduction
This report presents the results of a geotechnical investigation for a residential parcel of
land to be developed in the City of Temecu1a, California. Figure No. 1 presents a plot
plan of the site-showing the soils data and surface features deemed pertinent to this report.
The object oethis investigation was to gather information and test data regarding the
surface and subsurface soils conditions existing on the site upon which to base our
recommendations for the safe and economical site preparation, grading and construction
of the proposed structure.
The results of our field and laboratory investigations, which form the basis of our
recommendations, are included as a part of this report.
Site Conditions
The subject site occupies approximately 2.66 acres of an irregularly shaped parcel of
property located at the western end ofEI Faro Place in the City of Temecula, California.
Topographically, the site is characterized by a gentle to moderately sloping, south trending
ridge, which has been altered by previous grading to create a level pad along the ridge
crest. Fairly uniform (1.5:1 to 2:1) natural slopes descend to the east and west. The
overall relief is approximately thirty-six (36) feet on the west and fifty-six (56) feet on the
east.
The existing natural slope gradients on the site vary from nearly level on the graded pad
area to as steep as 1. S: 1 locally on the flanks of the ridge. Current site drainage is by
sheetflow toward the east to El Faro Place and to the west into a south flowing drainage
course, Surface vegetation currently consists of moderate to locally heavy assemblages of
native and volunteer weeds, grasses and shrubs on the undisturbed area of the lot and a
light to locally heavy assemblage of weeds and grasses on the cut pad area..
The soils encountered in the test holes consisted of soft to fairly firm topsoils composed
of clayey silts and silty clays varying between three (3) and four (4) feet in thickness,
overlying dense to very dense silty to clayey, coarse to medium sands with scattered
gravel, silty fine to very fine sands and coarse to fine sandy silts of the Pauba Formation.

'No ground water or appreciable caving of the side walls were encountered during the
. excavation of the test holes to the depths explored.
I Prooosed Develooment
'The subject parcel is proposed to be developed by conventional cut and fill grading
procedures to construct an access drive from EI Faro Place and to create a building pad
suitable for the construction of a single family residential structure with raised foundations,
. a barn, tennis court and a future swimming pool.
Fill soils will be generated by lowering the existing pad grade as needed and the cutting of
a 2: 1 to 3: 1 slope on the east flank of the ridge. The majority of the fill will be placed to
construct the driveway and tennis court. The structure will be constructed on natural
. ground. No grading will take place on the west slope of the property.
I Field Investil!ation
the subsurface soils conditions were explored by excavating seven (7) engineering test
holes to depths of six (6) to seven (7) feet with a backhoe using an eighteen (18) inch wide
. bucket. The approximate location of each test hole is shown on Figure No. 1.
, Relatively undisturbed samples and disturbed, bulk samples of the typical soils
,encountered in the test holes were obtained to be subjected to laboratory testing and
. analysis.
A continuous log of each test hole was kept in the field at the time of excavation. These
test hole logs, reflecting the condition and classification of each soil strata encountered,
. based on the Unified System of Soil Classification, as devised by A. Casagrande, are
presented as a-part of this report as Figure Nos. 2 through 8.
, Laboratory Investil!ation
In-situ moisture and density tests were performed on the undisturbed samples and the
results of these tests are shown on the appropriate test hole logs at the depths sampled.
Also shown are results of calculations made to determine the relative compaction of the
samples compared to the maximum density determined in accordance with ASTM test
method D1557-94T.
The expansion potential of the onsite soils was determined in accordance with the UBC
test standard 18-2. The results of the laboratory tests performed on the typical bulk soil
. samples are summarized as follows:

Direct shear tests were performed on selected samples of the undisturbed soils. The
, samples were tested in a state of saturation in order to duplicate extreme field moisture
,conditions. The results of these tests, showing peak and ultimate values are shown
: graphically on Figure Nos. 9 and 10.
The results of consolidation tests, indicating the load-settlement characteristics of the
, typical subsurface soils are shown on the Consolidation Test Reports, presented as Figure
Nos. 11 through 14.
: Conclusions and Recommendations
, Development of the site, as proposed, is considered to be feasible from a geotechnical
engineering standpoint, based on the implementation and incorporation of the
,recommendations which follow into the site preparation, grading, design and site
development,
. The preliminary results of the geotechnical investigation indicate that the site may be
developed by conventional grading procedures. the eighteen (18) foot high 2: 1 to 3: 1 cut
,slopes in the area proposed will result in a stable slope condition. General
recommendations for site grading are as follows:
. Site Preoaration and Gradinl!
. Prior to any grading, all existing surface vegetation, including brush and shrubs, not to
remain, shall be stripped and hauled off site to the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer.

Job No.: 99-25
The resulting cavities shall be cleaned of roots and loose soils, processed as specified by
the geotechnical engineer, and brought to grade with compacted fill if not entirely
removed in a proposed cut or removal area.
Any fill soils encountered within the proposed grading area shall be removed to expose the
underlying natural ground, as determined by the geotechnical engineer. These materials
may be incorporated into the compacted fill, when cleaned of any decomposable
substances.
Prior to the placing of any fill soils, the existing topsoils shall be removed to a minimum
depth of two (2) feet to expose the underlying approved natural ground. On slopes
steeper than 5: 1 a minimum fifteen (15) foot wide by two (2) foot deep shear key
(measured into approved ground on the downslope side) shall be excavated at the toe of
slopes. The shear key shall be approved by the geotechnical engineer prior to filling.
If any retaining walls are to be constructed prior to starting a fill slope, the excavation
should be brought to the original ground elevation with compacted fill and the wall
tootings shall be excavated into the compacted fill. All retaining walls shall be allowed to
cure properly prior to surcharging with fill.
As the compacted fill placement progresses upslope, all topsoils shall be removed to
expose the underlying, competent natural ground and adequately sized, horizontal benches
shall be excavated into the bedrock to receive the compacted fill.
Prior to placing any compacted fill, the exposed surface of the approved natural ground
shall be thoroughly. scarified to a depth of six (6) inches, moisture conditioned as
necessary and shall be precompacted to the minimum requirement specified herein.
The fill soils shall be. spread in six (6) to eight (8) inch thick, loose lifts, watered or dried
back as necessary to provide near optimum moisture content and shall be compacted to a
minimum of 90% of the maximum density determined in accordance with ASTM test
method DI557-94T.
The cut portion of the tennis court shall be undercut and recompacted to a depth of three
(3) feet.
As the fill slopes progress upwards the surface shall be backrolled at maximum four (4)
foot vertical intervals using a sheepsfoot roller and the finished slope surface shall either
be grid or track rolled to provide 90% compaction to the slope surface or the slope shall
be overfilled sufficiently to allow for trimming back to expose the compacted inner core.

The estimated subsidence anticipated to occur during the processing of the natural ground
I to accept fill will be on the order of 0.1 foot.
The anticipated shrinkage in soils volume expected to occur during the removal and
1 recompaction of the topsoils and bedrock will be on the order of 10"10 to 15% for the
: topsoils and 0% to 5% for the bedrock. The actual shrinkage will depend on the average
, degree of compacted obtained.
. Any imported fill soils required to be brought to the site for use as structural fill shall be
. approved in advance of importation by the geotechnical engineer.
I Foundation Recommendations
The recommended soil bearing value for continuous and square footings a minimum of
, fifteen (15) inches in width and embedded a minimum depth of eighteen (18) inches below
the lowest adjacent ground surface shall be 2000 psf. and 22S0 pst: respectively. This
,value may be increased by 20"10 for each additional foot in depth and/or width to a
maximum value of 3000 pst:
Lateral value may be computed at 250 pst: per foot of depth to a maximum value of 3000
pst:
'The anticipated maximum settlement for foundations designed in accordance with the
foregoing recommendations, is on the order of 0.40 inch with maximum differential
settlement on the order of 0.20 inch.
i Exoansive Soils Recommendations
I The expansion potential of the existing onsite topsoils and bedrock is are considered to be
low to moderate. It is assumed that the topsoils and bedrock materials will be blended
during grading and will be similarly expansive. The recommended remedial construction
measures required to minimize the affects of this condition are shown on Figure No. 15.
A final determination of the expansion potential should be made upon the completion of
. grading.
Additional reinforcement of the foundations and any floor slabs should be made in
. consideration of structural strength requirements of the structural engineer.

Soil Corrosivitv Studv
Laboratory tests were conducted on the near surface soils to determine if these soils may
have deleterious effects on underground utilities and concrete floors and slabs. The results
of these tests are as follows:
Soluble Sulfate per Soluble Chloride Minimum pH
CA. 417 per Resistivity per CA.
CA.422 643
'Bor. #1 90: oom 54 oom 2774 ohm-em 6.8
'Bor. #4 100.oom 64 oom 1416 ohm-em 6.6
Based on the results of the above tests, the onsite soils are considered to be moderately
corrosive. It is recommended that all metal pipes should be wrapped with poly-sleeves or
other appropriate materials. As an added precaution the metal pipes in trenches should be
backfilled with.clean sand.
Type I or II cement may be used in concrete poured in direct contact with onsite soils.
Site Drainal!e ;Recommendations
All surface runoff shall be conducted away from the top of the slopes onto approved
drainage devices. The residence shall have roof gutters to collect runoff and conduct it to
approved, non.,erodable drainage areas.
Retaininl! Wall Recommendations
When properly drained and backfilled, any proposed retaining walls shall be designed for
the following equivalent fluid pressures:
Slope of Retained Surface Recommended Equivalent Fluid
Pressure
Level Surcharlle 35 oct:
3: 1 Surface Gradient 38 oct:
2: 1 Surface Gradient 45 oct:
All retaining walls shall be provided with adequate weep holes or sub drains to preclude
the build-up of hydrostatic pressure.

Backdrains Sha11 consist of a four (4) inch diameter, perforated pipe, with perforations
. down. The pipe shall be surrounded by twelve (12) inches ofo/. inch gravel wrapped in an
approved filter fabric to minimize the infiltration of soil particles. The drains shall be
, graded to flow to a suitable outlet or controlled disposal system which will not result in
. erosion or saturation of the slope surface.
A coefficient offiiction of 0.35 may be used between the concrete poured in direct contact
with the compacted fill or bedrock.
, It is the opinion of this firm that once the site has been satisfactorily graded in accordance
, with the recommendation contained in this report, the site will be free from the hazard of
landslide, settlement or slippage and will not adversely affect the geologic stability of the
. adjacent properties.
. The recommendations contained in this report are based on the results of our field and
, laboratory investigations, combined with the principles of modern soil mechanics and
. sound engineering judgment.
Should any unusual conditions or should drastic design changes be contemplated, this
'firm shall be notified inunediately in order that proper modification to the
recommendations contained herein may be made as deemed necessary.
If you have any questions with regard to this report or the recommendations contained
, herein, please contact this office.
