SITE I .OCA TION/CONmTlONS
The 107+/- acre rectangular-shaped Parcel 4, P.M. 16705 was graded into three lots at the southeast
corner ofEstero Street and Ormsby Road, both improved paved roads, in the city of Temecula. Estero
Street forms the northern property boundary for both lots, <)U 1 and ':102, and southern boundary for lot
805.
The lots were previously mass graded in late 1989, utilizing cut and fill grading. The maximum cut
and fill slopes are 9 and 14 feet respectfully at finished grades of2:1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter.
The pad area of the lots are currently free of vegetation, but the existing slopes are covered with weeds
and grasses. A large wash-out exists on the south-facing fill slope on the 902 Estero Street lot.
Both lots 901 and 902 have a concrete drainage swale at the perimeter of the pad, which drains to
Ormsby Road. The swale is cracked and broken in many places.
The geographic relationship of the property to the surrounding areas is shown on the Index Map (Page
2).
PR(Jp()S~:n D!!;V!!;l.OPM~;NT
According to the information provided, the lots are to be utilized for a single-family residence and
short paved driveways with associated appurtenances.
On-site sewage disposal utilizing the septic tanklleach line method of disposal is planned in the pad
area, based on previous percolation testing report by RGS, San Bernardino, dated September 13, 1994.
seo..!!; OF Sl!;RVJCJ<;S
The scope of our investigation included the following:
1. A review of available data pertinent to the site.
2. Subsurface exploration of the site utilizing 4 exploratory borings to depths as great as 15 feet.
the borings were logged, and these logs appear in Appendix A of the report. The borings were
tested for in-place density utilizing drive-ring sampling. Representative bulk samples were
obtained for testing.
3. Laboratory testing of representative earth materials to develop soil engineering parameters for
the proposed development.

4. PreparatIOn otthlS report presenting our tindmgs, conclusions and recommendations
concerning site development based upon an engineering analysis of geotechnical properties of
the subsoils as determined by field and laboratory evaluation.
LABORATORy. TESTING
The following tests were pertormed tor this project in our laboratory in accordance with the American
Society for Testing and Materials, the State ofCalifomia Standard Specifications or contemporary
practices of the soil engineering profession.
Maximum Density - O.ptimum Moisture Determinations
This test determines the density that a soil can be compacted to at various contents. For each soil
moisture, there is a maximum dry density obtained and the associated optimum moisture content. The
results are used to evaluate the natural compaction, control of the grading process and as an aId m
developing the soil bearing capacity. This is based on ASTM Standard Dl557-78 (five layer method).
In-Situ Moisture and Density
These tests consisted of measuring and weighing drive ring samples to determiiIe iiI-place moisture
and density. . The results are used to analyze the consistency of the subsoils and aid in determining the
necessary grading to prepare the pad area.
Sieve Analysis
This test determines the material grading of the individiIal particle sizes and is used in generating an
engineering classification.
Sand Equivalent Testing
This is a test for the rapid determination of the relative portions offme silt and clay materials within
the soil samples, and is used for a relative comparison of soils in the determination of the adequate
paving sections for parking, etc.

ExpansIon Testing
The expansion index of the soils are determined by the U.B.C. Method 29-2 and is used to design
foundations for anticipated expansion forces. The expansion test results are presented in Appendix B.
Direct Shear
A direct shear strength test was pertormed on a representative sample of the on-site soils remolded to
90% relative compaction. To simulate possible adverse field conditions, the sample was saturated
prior to shearing. A saturating device was used which permitted the samples to absorb moisture while
preventing volume change. This test is used to determine soil strengths for slope stability evaluations
and for foundation bearing capacity.
Sulfate Testing
Water soluble suit ate was determined for the soils at anticipated finished grades. This test is used to
determine concrete type in accordance with UBC Talbe I9-A-3.
SUBSURFACE CONDmONS
The area of the existing building pads is underlain by a 2.5-8 foot thick artificial fill The fill thickens
to the south on both lots 90 I and 902, a maximum of 8 feet. The fill is in a dense compacted condition
at 117.0 pcf (90% relative compaction) in B-2 at 1.0-2.0 feet, increasing to 120.3 pcf(93.3% relative
compaction) in B-3 at 4.0-5.0 feet. Moistures were between 4 and 6 percent. Beneath the
soiUcolluvium is the sedimentary bedrock of the Pauba Formation. The bedrock is very dense with
in-place density of 123.6 (95.9% relative compaction) in B-4 at 4.0-5.0 feet and 6-7% moisture,
increasing to over 128.0 pcf.
The subsurface information indicates that the original transition from cut to fill has been mitigated by
overexcavation to 30 inches.
GROUND W An;R
No ground water was encountered within the site to a depth of 15 feet on the lot. A concurrent sewage
disposal test on the lot north of Estero Street (See Plate 1) did not encounter water to 50 feet. Several
large ground water wells are operated within 0.5 miles of the site. The nearest well had an historic
high ground water elevation of 1U27teet in March 1976 (DWR, 1978). The current water level is 993
feet, which places the minimum depth to ground water at over 160 feet at the site.

FLOODING
Accordmg to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the County of RIverside, the site IS not
located within the boundaries of a IOO-year flood plain.
GEOI ,OGY
Regional
The site represents a portion of the Perris Block (English, 1926), an uplifted, but not tilted, block of
granitic and metamorphic basement rocks with three distinct geomorphic and stratigraphic erosion
surfaces (Dudley, 1936).
Local
The entire proposed building addition area is underlain at depths ofless than 4 feet by the sedimentary
bedrock of the Quaternary Pauba Formation. Bedding attitudes were northwest strike with low angle
dips of less than 8 degrees to the northeast. The poorly defined bedding was less than 6 inches thick
and ranges in texture from silty sands to clayey sands with occassional clean sand intervals.
Seismic Setting
The site is not incllldedwithin any State or County fault hazard zone for active or potentially active
faults.
The regional seismic setting is shown on Plate 2. The nearest active or potentially active faults to the
site include the Elsinore (0.3 miles southeast), and the San Jacinto (31.8 miles northeast).
The Elsinore (WiIdomar branch), because of its proxmity and resulting greater seismic potential, is the
design fault when evaluating the site seismic parameters.
We have utilized strain rates of 0.08 cmlyear for the Elsinore Fault as suggested by Clark, Harms, et al
(1984) and Petersen (1996). For this project the maximum probable or "design earthquake" is defmed
by CDMG Note 43 as the maximum historical event with a recurrence period of 100 years. We
estimate the maximum probable earthquake for the Elsinore fault to be an event of 6.8 magnitude.
This is in agreement with the deteministic model by Blake (1994). This is also in agreement with the
estimated 6.6 earthquake in 1910 that was epicentered within 10 miles northwest of the site, but
slightly higher than Petersen (1996).

Ground Motion Parameters
The ground motion characteristics which could affect the site during the postulated maximum
probable earthquake of 6.6 magnitude on the Elsinore fault were estimated. Available information in
the literature about maximum peak bedrock acceleration and the attenuation with distance (Schnable
&. Seed, 1987), the effects of site-soil conditions on surtace ground motion parameters (Seed & Idress,
1982), and site response criteria (Hays, 1980) were utilized.
This information indicates that maximum peak rock acceleration on the order of 0.64g may be
anticipated at the site. Maximum ground surface acceleration is expected to be dampened due to the
thick sedimentary bedrock with a value of about 0.54g.
Repeatable ground acceleration can be estimated as 65 percent of peak ground acceleration for design
purposes (ploessel & Slosson, 1974) with a value of about 0.36g. The predominant period of bedrock
acceleration is expected to be 0.30 seconds with 30 seconds of strong ground shaking (Bolt, 1973).
Secondary Seisniic Hazards
The depth to historic groundwater of 55+ fee, and dense nature of the sedimentary bedrock at shallow
depths, precludes such secondary seismic hazards as liquefaction, lateral spreading or settlement at the
site.
CONCLUSJONS ANO KM:OMNh;NDATfONS
Foundation Design
A strip and spread footmg foundation system should provide an adequate foundation for one and
two-story buildings in this site. All exterior footings should be founded a minimum of 18 inches
below adjacent finished grade for two-story buildings, and 12 inches for one-story buildings. Interior
footings may be founded a minimum of 12 inches below finished grade. When the footings are
founded in a minimum of 2 feet of properly compacted fill or dense bedrock, an allowable bearing
capacity of I500psftor 12 inch wide tootings is acceptable tor dead plus live load. This value may be
increased by one-third for short term wind and seismic loading conditions.

99247-01
Page 8
When toundatlOns are placed in natural SOlIs, no cobbles over 6 inches should be left withm the base
of the foundation. A typical foundation design is included in Appendix c..
Settlement
When the upper 2.0-2.5 feet of fill is prepared in accordance with the "Foundation Design" and
compacted fill requirements, footings should experience less than I-inch settlement with less than 1/2
inch differential settlements between adjacent footings of similar sizes and loads over a horizontal
distance of 40 feet. This settlement is based upon grading of up to 30+ feet of till. If thicker tills are
proposed, settlement could be greater and should be evaluated prior to placement.
Concrete Slabs-On-lirade
Sufficient tine-grained materials exists within near surface earth materials to possible create moisture
problems. Therefore, we recommend that a moisture barrier be placed under any concrete slabs that
might receive a moisture-sensitive floor covering. This moisture barrier should consist of a 10-mil
polyethylene vapor barrier sandwiched between a I-inch layer of sand, top and bottom, to prevent
puncture of the barrier and enhance curing of the concrete. Nominal reinforcement of the slabs with
6x6 by 6x6 welded wire placed in the center of the slab is advisable. The subgrade below the slab
should be moisture conditioned and properly compacted prior to placement of concrete.
Expansive Soils
Expansion testing of near-surface soils (B-2; 0-3 feet) indicate the near surface soils are low
expansion perU.B.C. Table 18-l-B with a value ofl4. Slab and foundation should be designed for
low expansion per U.B.C. Section 1815 as shown in Appendix c.
Sulfate Content
Soil sulfate testing yielded a nominal 30 ppm of soluble sulfate. Normal 2500 pound Type 11 cement
may be used in construction.
Earthwork Shrinkage and Subsidence
When the 2-3 feet of overexcavated soils are regraded to compacted fill standards, earthwork
shrinkage would be in the range of 5 to 6 percent with a recommended average of approximately 9
percent. Earthwork operations should cause only a nominal subsidence of approximately 0.1 foot or
less in the driveway access and pad areas.

Retaining Wall Uesign
Retaining walls should be designed using the following parameters:
o Active pressure (level backfijJ) 52 Iblft 1ft
o Active pressure (2: I backfill) 61 Ib/ft 1ft
o Active pressure (11/2:1 backfill) 72 Ib/ft 1ft
For purpose of lateral resistance, a value of 0.25 may be used for frictional resistance. A value of275
Ib/ft 1ft may be used for passive resistance for footings placed into properly compacted fill. Frictional
and passive resistance may be combined, provided the later is reduced by one-third.
Special loads for dead plus actual loads should be considered in the drivewaylparking area that is
retained.
Lateral Loads
Lateral loads in the near-sw1ace soils are:
Active - 52 pounds per square foot of soil depth (psfi'ft)
At Rest - 61 psfi'ft
Passive - 275 psf/ft (for wood shoring)
350 psfi'ft (for concrete footings)
Active means movement of the structure away from the soil; at rest means the structure does not move
relative to the soil (Such as a loading dock); and Passive means the structure moves into the soil. The
coefficient of friction between the bottom of the footings and the native soil may be taken as 0.25.
Trench Stability
The near-surface soil to a depth of 5 feet will stand vertically when excavated. The trenches in excess
of 3 feet in depth should have the sides laid back at I: I in accordance with OSHA requirements.

Slope Stability
The current concept of construction has no additional grading planned. All the existing slopees are
constructed as [mished inclinations of2:I or flatter. The hiM strength values make these slopes stable
to over 45 feet at this inclination. No slope stability evaluation is necessary unless additional grading
is contemplated.
Selection of Shear Strength Parameters
The following shear strength parameter utilized for our soil foundation bearing analysis was
determined by our laboratory test results as presented below:

485
We have utilized values of 26 degrees and 485 Ib/tt2 for bedrock cut slopes although it represents a
conservatIve number, detennmedttom a remolded saturated sample. Bedrock IS expected to be 20% +
stronger (Coduto, 1989).
Drainage and terracing should be in accordance with Uniform Building Code Chapter 70 requirements.
At no time should water be diverted onto the slope face in an uncontrolled and erosive fashion. Rapid
erosion and rutting of the fill slopes is possible and they should be planted with drought resistant
landscaping as soon as possible.

2. l'reparation of Huilding Pad Areas
Our subsurface investigation revealed that the proposed building locations on the pads are underlain by
dense engineered compacted fill. The pads have been properly overexcavated, and no additional
mitigation is required.
3. Preparation of Surface to Receive Compacted Fill
All sufficiently dense (85 percent relative compaction) surfaces which are to receive compacted fill
should be scarified to a depth of 6 inches, brought to near optimum moisture content and compacted to
90 percent relative compaction. Other softer areas must be overexcavated to sufficiently dense
material and recompacted. Typical overexcavation depths based on our tield testing would be 2~3 teet
for the building areas and 1-1.5 feet in the parking/driveway areas. Actual depth of removal should be
determined at the time of grading by testing.
4. i'iacement of Compacted Fin
Compactedfili'is detmed as that material whichwillbe replliced in the areas ohemoval due to root
removal, the placement of footings and paving, and also wherever their grade is to be raised. All fill
should be compacted to a minimum of90 percent based upon the maximum density obtained in
accordance with AS'1MD 1557:78 procedure. The area to be filled wijjbe prepared in accordance
with the preceding section. The recompaction of the cut material may be waived if field density tests
indicate densities in excess of compacted fill standards.
Fills placed on natural slopes of5:I (horizontal to vertical) or steeper will require a key and benching
as shown in Appendix C.
5: Pre-.Job Conference
Prior to the commencement of grading, a pre-job conference should be held with representatives of the
owner, developer, contractor, architect and/or engineer in attendance. The purpose of this meeting
shall be to clarifY any questions relating to the intent of the grading recommendations and to verifY
that the project specifications comply with recommendations of this report.
\'?
.
.
99247-01
Page 12
6. Testing and Inspection
During grading, density testing should be performed by a representative of the soil engineer in order to
determine the degree of compaction being obtained. Where testing indicates insufficient density,
additional compactive effort shall be applied with the adjustment of moisture content where necessary,
until 90 percent relative compactIOn IS obtamed.
InspectIon of cntIcal gradmg control procedures such as keys, mstallation or need for subdrains should
be made by a qualified soils engineer or engineering geologist.
1. Deveiopmentimpact
ProVIded the recommendatIOns of thIS report are mcorporated mto the deSign and construction of the
residential project, both the proposed development and off-site areas will be safe from geologic and
geotechnicai hazards.
GENERAL
All grading should, at a minimum,tolIow the "Standard Grading and Earthwork Specitications" as
outlined in Appendix C, unless otherwise modified in the text of this report. The recommendations of
,this report are based on the assumptions that all footings will be founded in dense, native, undisturbed
soil or properly compacted fiU soil. AJItooting excavations should be inspected prior to the placement
of concrete in order to verifY that footings are founded on satisfactory soils and are free of loose and
disturbed materials and fill. All grading and fill placement should be performed under the testing and
inspection of a representative of the soil engineer.
The tindings and recommendations of this report were prepared in accordance with contemporary
engineering principles and practice. We make no warranty, either express or implied. Our
recommendations arebasecf on an interpolation of soil conditions between trench locations. Should
conditions be encountered during grading, that appear to be different than those indicated by this
report, this office should be notified.

STANDARD GRADING AND EARTHWORK SPECIFICATIONS
No deviation from these specifications should be permitted unless
specifically superseded in the geotechnical report of the project
or by written communication signed by the Geotechnical
Consultant. Evaluations performed by the Geotechnical Consultant
during the course of grading may result in subsequent
recommendations which could supersede these specifications or ~~e
recommendations of the geotechnical report. .
1.0 GENERAL.
1.1 The Geotechnical Consultant is the Owner's or
Developer'S representative on the project. For the
purpose of these specifications, observations by the
Geotechnical Consultant include observations by the
Soils Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer, Engineering
Geologist, and those performed by persons employed by
and responsible to the Geotechnical Consultant.
1.2 All clearing, site preparation, or earthwork performed
on the project shall be conducted and directed by the
Contractor under the supervision. of the Geotechnical
Consultant.
1.3 The Contractor should be responsible for the safety of
the project and satisfactorj completion of all grading.
During grading, the Contractor shall remain accessible.
1.4 Prior to the commencement of grading, the Geotechnical
Consultant shal~ be employed for the purpose of
providing field, laboratory, and office services for
conformance with the recommendations of the
geotechnical report and these specifications. It will
be necessary that the Geotechnical Consultant provide
adequate testing and observations so that he may
determine that the work was accomplished as specified.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to
assist the Geotechnical Consultant and keep him
apprised of work schedules and changes so that he may
schedule his personnel accordingly.
1.5 It shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor
to provide adequate equipment and methods to accomplish
the work in accordance with applicable grading codes,
agency ordinances, these specifications, and the
approved grading plans. If, in the opinion of the
Geotechnical Consultant, unsatisfactory conditions,
such as questionable soil, poor moisture condition,
inadequate compaction, adverse weather, etc., are
z.o...
,
.

.standard Grading .andEarthwork Specifications
:Pa';e .Two
resulting in a quality of work less than required in
these specifications, the Geotechnical Consultant will
be empowered to reject the work and recommend that
construction be stopped until the conditions are
rectified.
1.6 It is the Contractor's responsibility to provide access
to the Geotechnical Consultant for testing and/or
grading observation purposes. This may require the
excavation of test pits and/or the relocation of
grading equipment.
1.7 A final report shall be issued by the Geotechnical
Consultant attesting to the Contractor's conformance
with these specifications.
2.0 SITE PREPARATION
2.1 All vegetation and deleterious material shall be
disposed of off-site. This removal shall be observed
by the Geotechnical Consultant and concluded prior to
fill placement. ..
2.2 Soil, alluvium, or bedrock materials determined by the
'Geotechnical Consultant as being unsuitable for
placement in compacted fills shall be removed from the
site or used in open areas as determined by the
Geotechnical Consultant. Any material incorporated as
a part of a compacted fill must be approved by the
Geotechnical Consultant prior to.fill placement.
2.3 After the ground surface to receive fill has been
cleared, it shall be scarified, disced, or bladed by
the Contractor until it is uniform and free from ruts,
hollows, hummocks, or other uneven features which may
prevent uniform compaction.
The scarified ground surface shall then be brought to
optimum moisture, mixed as required, and compacted as
specified. If the scarified zone is greater than
twelve inches in depth, the excess shall be removed and
placed in lifts not to exceed six inches or less.
prior to placing fill, the ground surface to receive
fill shall be observed, tested, and approved by the
Geotechnical Consultant.

2.4 Any underground structures or cavities such as
cesspools, cisterns, mining shafts, tunnels, septic
tanks, wells, pipe lines, or others are to be removed
or treated in a manner prescribed by the Geotechnical
Consultant.
2.5 In cut-fill transition lots and where cut lots are
partially in soil, colluvium or unweathered bedrock
materials, in order to provide uniform bearing
conditions, the bedrock portion of the lot extendi~g a
minimum of 5 feet outside of building lines shall be
overexcavated a minimum of 3 feet and replaced with
compacted fill. Greater overexcavation couldbe
required as determined by Geotechnical Consultant where
deep fill of 20+ feet transitions to bedrock over a
short distance. Typical details are given on Figure D-
1.
3.0 COMPACTED FILLS
3.1 Material to be placed as fill shall.be free of organic
matter and other deleterious substances, and shall be
approved by the Geotechnical Consultan~. Soils of poor
gradation, expansion, or strength Characteristics shall
.be placed in areas designated by Geotechnical
Consultant or shall be mixed with other soils to serve
as satisfactory fill material, as directed by the
Geotechnical Consultant.
3.2 Rock fragments less than twelve inches in diameter may
be utilized in the fill, provided:
1. They are not placed in concentrated pockets.
2. There is a minimum of 75% overall of fine grained
material to surround the rocks.
3. The distribution of rocks is supervised by the
Geotechnical Consultant.
3.3 Rocks greater than twelve inches in diameter shall be
taken Off-site, or placed in accordance with the
recommendations of the Geotechnical Consultant in areas
designated as suitable for rock disposal. (A typical
detail for Rock Disposal is given in Figure D-2.

3.4 Material that is spongy, subject to decay, or otherwise
considered unsuitable shall not be used in the
compacted fill.
3.5 Representative samples of materials to be utilized as
compacted fill shall be analyzed by the laboratory of
the Geotechnical Consultant to determine their physical
properties. If any material other than that previously
tested is encountered during grading, the appropriate
analysis of this material shall be conducted by the
Geotechnical Consultant as soon as possible.
3.6 Material used in the compacting process shall be evenly
spread, watered, processed, and compacted in thin lifts
not to exceed six inches in thickness to obtain a
uniformly dense layer. The fill shall be placed and
compacted on a horizontal plane, unless otherwise
approved by the Geotechnical Consultant.
3.7 If the moisture content or relative compaction varies
from that required by the Geotechnical.' Consultant, the
Contractor shall rework.the fil~ unti1 it is approved
by the Geotechnical Consultant. .
3.8 Each layer shall be compacted to 90 percent of the
maximum density in compliance with the testing method
specified by the controlling governmental agency or
ASTM 1557-70, whichever applies.
If compaction to a lesser percentage is authorized by
the controlling governmental agency because of a
specific land use or expansive soil condition, the area
to receive fill compacted to less than 90 percent shall
either be delineated on the grading plan or appropriate
reference made to the area in the geotechnical report.
3.9 All fills shall be keyed and benched through all
topsoil, colluvium alluvium, or creep material, into
sound bedrock or firm material where the slope
receiving fill exceeds a ratio of five horizontal to
one vertical, in accordance with the recommendations of
the Geotechnical Consultant.
3.10 The key for side hill fills shall be a minimum width of
15 feet within bedrock or firm materials, unless
otherwise specified in the geotechnical report. (See

3.11 Subdrainage devices shall be constructed in compliance
with the ordinances of the controlling governmental
agency, or with the recommendations of the Geotechnical
Consultant. (Typical Canyon Subarain details are given
in Figure 0-4.)
3.12 The contractor will be required to obtain a minimum
relative compaction of 90 percent out to the finish
slope face of fill slopes, buttresses, and
stabilization fills. This may be achieved by either
over building the slope ana cutting back to the
compacted core, or by direct compaction of the slope
face with suitable equipment, or by any other procedure
which produces the required compaction approved by the
Geotechnical Consultant.
3.13 All fill slopes should be planted or protected from
erosion by other methods specified in the Geotechnical
report .
3 .14 Fill-over-cut slopes shall be proper],y. keyed through
topsoil, colluvium or creep material into rock or firm
materials, and the transition shall be, stripped of all
soil prior to placing fill. (See detail on Figure D-
'3. )
4 . 0 CUT SLOPES
4.1 The Geotechnical Consultant shall inspect all cut
slopes at vertical intervals not exceeding ten feet.
4.2 If any conditions not anticipated in the geotechnical
report such as perched water, seepage, lenticular or
confined strata of a potentially adverse: nature,
unfavorably inclined bedding, joints or fault planes
encountered during grading, these conditions shall be
analyzed by the Geotechnical Consultant, and
recommendations shall be made to mitigate these
problems. (Typical details for stabilization of a
portion of a cut slope are given in Figures 0-3a ana 0-
5. )
4.3 cut slopes that face in the same direction as the
prevailing drainage shall be protected from slope wash
by a non-erodible interceptor swale placed at the tope
of the slope.

Consultant.
5.2 After the utility pipe has been laid, the space under
and around the pipe shall be backfilled with clean sand
or approved granular soil to a depth of at least one
foot over the top of the pipe. The sand backfill shall
. be uniformly jetted into place before the controlled
backfill is placed over the sand. ...
5.3 The on-site materials, or other soils 'approved by the
.Geotechnical Consultant shall be watered and mixed as
necessary prior to placement in lifts over the sand
backfill.
5.4 The controlled backfill shall be compacted to at least
90 percent of the maximum laboratory density. as
determined by the ASTI D1557-70 or the controlling
governmental agency.
.5.5 Field density tests and inspection of the. backfill
procedures shall be made by the Geotechnical Consultant
during backfilling to see that proper moisture content
and uniform compaction is being maintained. The.
contractor shall provide test holes and exploratory
pits as required by the Geotechnical Consultant to

6.2 In general, density tests should be made at intervals
not exceeding two feet of fill height or every 500
cubic yards of fill placed. This criteria will vary
depending on soil conditions and the size of the job.
In any event, an adequate number of field density tests
shall be made to verify that the required compaction is
being achieved.
6.3 Density tests should also be made on the surface
material to receive fill as required by the
Geotechnical Consultant.
6.4 All cleanout, processed ground to receive fill, key
excavations, subdrains, and rock disposals should be
inspected and approved by the Geotechnical Consultant
prior to placing any fill. It shall be the
