The upper five (5) feet of the ~ alluvial materials was removed prior to placement of compacted fill. Spot elevations of approved removal bottoms aze shown on the enclosed plans. 1.2 Groundwater ~ Groundwater was not encountered during this phase of grading. 1.3 Shucture The alluvium was observed to be essentially flat lying. No faults or joints were observed during this phase of grading. • 1.4 Conclusions From an engineering geologic viewpoint, Lots 1 through 47 of Tract 29798-9 in the City of Temecula, California aze suitable for their intended residential use. • 2.0 SOIL ENGINEEffiNG Prior to fill placement reported herein, PSE representatives observed removals, excavations, cleanouts and processing in preparing fill areas. Fill materials were placed ~ and tested under the observation and testing of PSE personnel. The following is a summary of our observations. ~ ~ PAGIFtC SOILS ENGINEERING, ING. i• Work Order 700007-G October 27, 2004 I~ 2.1 Removals Page 3 By design, shallow (1-2 feet) fills were proposed for the subject lots. All existing fill and a minimum of the upper five (5) feet of natural soils were removed and ~ replaced as compacted fill prior to fill placement. The approximate removal bottom elevations shown on the enclosed plans (Plate 1) was obtained by the grading contractor personnel utilizing a laser and survey control points provided • by the Civil Engineer. 2.2 Treatment of Removal Bottoms Prior to compacted fill placement, the exposed surfaces at the bottom of removals ~ were scarified, moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture content, and compacted in-place to a minimum 90 percent of the laboratory maximum density (ASTM D 1557). 2.3 Compacted Fill Placement Fil] consisting of the soil types indicated in Table I(Appendix B) was placed in thin lifts (approximately six- (6) to eight- (8) inches), moisture conditioned to ~ optimum moisture content or slightly above, and compacted to a minimum 90 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557). Compaction was accomplished utilizing self-propelled, rubber-tired and sheepsfoot compactors, along with heavy earth moving equipment. Each succeeding fill lift ~ was treated in a similaz manner. 2.4 Comaaction Test Results A summary of the compaction test results is presented in Table I(Appendix B), and the approximate locations of these tests are shown on the enclosed 40-scale grading plan (Plate 1). Compaction testing was conducted utilizing the sand cone method (ASTM D 1556) and Campbell Pacific nuclear test gauges (ASTM D 2922 and D 3017). 3 PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC. • Work Order 700007-G October 27, 2004 Page 4 2.5 Deuth of Fill Compaction testing was performed approximately for each one (1) to two (2) feet of fill placed. The approximate maximum vertica] depth of fill placed during • grading, within the limits of this report, is on the order of nine (9) feet in the vicinity of Lots 9-11, 35, and 37. The approximate maximum vertical depth of fill placed on individual lots is summarized in Table II (Appendix B). • 2.6 Cut/Fill Transition Lot Overexcavation The cut portions of cuUfill transition lots were overexcavated a minimum of five (5) feet and replaced with compacted fill. Table 2.1 presents a summary of the cut/fill transition lots. ~~ TasiE`z.i . Cut/Fill Transition Lots Overexcavated and Replaced with Compacted Fill ~ 29798-9 I 1, 12, 18-20, 24-28, 35-37 ~ ~ 2.7 Cut Lot Overexcavation The lots listed in Table 2.2 were originally designed as cut lots and were overexcavated a minimum of five (5) feet and replaced with compacted fill. IC~ ~~ ~ TABLE 2.2 Design Cut Lots Overexcavated and Replaced with Compacted Fill Tract Lot # 29798-9 21-23,38-47 2.8 Fill Sloaes Fill slopes were ove~lled approximately 5 feet, measured horizontally. The ~ slope was then trimmed back to the compacted core upon completion of grading. Finish slope sarfaces have been probed and/or tested and are considered to satisfy the project requirements and the grading codes of the City of Temecula. ~ I• PAGIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC. ~ Work Order 70000?-G October 27, 2004 Page 5 Based on the results of tests and observations collected during the rough grading operations, it is PSE's opinion that all slopes constructed under the purview of this report aze considered to be grossly and surficially stable at this time, and should ~ remain so under normal conditions. As is the case with any graded slope, proper drainage, maintenance, and landscaping are essential to long-term performance and should be implemented as soon as possible. 3.0 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS The building pad azeas of the subject lots will be utilized to construct one and two-story, wood frame, residential structures. Precise building plots and loading details aze not ~ currently available since individual planning areas are to be sold to various merchant builders. Unless unusual sitings, configurations, or loading conditions are proposed, it is likely that structures can be supported on post-tensioned slab/foundation systems. Recommendations for the design of foundations should be made based upon specific ~- structural sitings and loading conditions, when available. Bulk samples were collected during grading and neaz finish surface and representative • samples were subjected to a series of tests in order to chazacterize the neaz-surface soil characteristics. In addition to determining the laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content, tests conducted on selected samples included grain size analyses (modified hydrometer portion), ASCE Expansion Index tests, and chemical tests • for sulfates. Table 3-1 presents a summary of the results of the hydrometer analyses, the ASCE Expansion Index tests, and sulfate tests. These tests are presented for information and budgeting purposes only. The engineer of record for the residential unit development ~ should conduct additional tests as deemed necessary in consideration of individual building improvements. Specific slab and foundation design recommendations should be provided by the engineer of record based upon review of specific plans for proposed improvements. r J PACIFIC SOILS ENOINEEFiING, INC.

Mainline and lateral utility trench backfill should be compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum laboratory dry density as determined by AST'M Test Method: D- 1557. On-site soils may not be suitable for use as bedding material but will be suitable s for use in backfill. Compaction should be accomplished by mechanical means. Jetting of native soils will not be acceptable. 5.0 SLOPE AND LOT MAINTENANCE ~ Slope planting should consist of ground cover, shrubs, and trees that possess deep, dense root structures and require a minimum of inigation. It is the responsibility of the homeowner and/or Homeowners Association to maintain such planting. Those parties are responsible for maintenance and cleaning of all drainage terraces, down drains and ~ other devices that have been installed to promote structwe and slope stability. • ~ PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC. I~ Work Order 700007-G Page 7 October 27, 2004 • Periodic observation, clearing and repairs of these devices should be conducted. A program for the elimination of burrowing animals should be implemented in a timely manner soon after completion of the rough grading operations. This program should be • on-going in order to maintain slope stability and a licensed exterminator with experience in hillside maintenance should be engaged to control burrowing animals. Positive drainage, away from structures and slopes should be provided and maintained. • Design fine grade elevations should be maintained through the life of ttte structure. If design fine grade elevations are altered, adequate azea drains should be installed in order to provide rapid discharge of water, away from the structure. ~ The resident or owner is responsible for proper irrigation and for maintenance and repair of properly installed irrigation systems. Leaks should be repaired immediately. Sprinklers should be adjusted to provide uniform coverage with a minimum of water ~ usage and overlap. Over-watering with consequent wasteful runoff and serious ground saturation should be avoided. If automatic sprinkler systems aze installed, their use must be adjusted to account for natural rainfall conditions. • 6.0 HOMEOWNER CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES During and upon completion of mass grading of the subject site, representative soil samples were tested for expansive soil chazacteristics and soluble sulfate concentrations. In addition, certain lots contain manufactured slopes within or adjacent to the building • pad area. All of these conditions should be considered in design, construction, and maintenance of homeowner improvements. The homeowners should be advised of certain responsibilities they must accept in consideration of these factors. Suggested • information to educate the homeowners regazding these responsibilities is presented in Appendix C. We suggest that this information be provided to all homeowners as part of an information packet during the sales process. ~ 1 PACIFIC SOILB ENGINEERING, INC. ~ Work Order700007-G October 27, 2004 I• • Page 8 This report presents information and data relative to the mass grading and/or placement of compacted fill at the subject site.

Maintaining drainage patterns and minimizing the soil moisture variation below all lot improvements aze of primary ~ importance. Such design, construction and homeowner maintenance provisions may include: - Employing contractors for homeow~er improvements who design and build in recognition of local building codes and specific site soils conditions. - Establishing and maintaining positive drainage away from all foundations, walkways, ~ driveways, patios, and other hazdscape improvements. - Avoiding the construction of planters adjacent to structural improvements. Altematively, planter sides/bottoms can be sealed with an impermeable membrane and drained away from the improvements via subdrains into approved disposal azeas. ~ - Sealing and maintaining construction/controljoints within concrete slabs and walkways to reduce the potential for moisture infiltration into the subgrade soils. - Utilizing landscaping schemes with vegetation that requires minimal watering. Watering should be done in a uniform manner, as equally as possible on all sides of the foundation, ~ keeping the soil "moist" but not allowing the soil to become saturated. - Maintaining positive drainage away from structures and providing roof gutters on all structures with downspouts that are designed to carry roof runoff directly into azea drains or dischazged well away from the foundation azeas. ~ - Avoiding the placement of trees closer to the proposed struchues than a distance of one-half the mahue height of the tree. - Observation of the soil conditions around the perimeter of the structure during extremely hot/dry or unusually wet weather conditions so that modifications can be made in irrigation programs to maintain relatively uniform moishxre conditions. • Sulfates Homeowners should be cautioned against the import and use of certain inorganic fertilizers, soil ~ amendments, and/or other soils from offsite sources in the absence of specific information relating to their chemical composition. Some fertilizers have been known to leach sulfate v` PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC. • Work Order 700007-G October 27, 2004 I• Page G2 compounds into soils otherwise containing "negligible" sulfate concentrations and increase the sulfate concentrations to potentially detrimental levels. In some cases, concrete improvements constructed in soils containing high levels of soluble sulfates may be affected by crystalline growth or mineral accumulation, which may, in the long term, result in deterioration and loss of strength. ~ Site Draina¢e - The homeowners should be made aware of the potential problems that may develop when drainage is altered thtough construction of retaining walls, swimming pools, paved walkways, patios or other hardscape improvements. Ponded water, drainage over the slope face, leaking irrigation systems, overwatering or other conditions which could lead to ground • saturation must be avoided. - No water should be allowed to flow over the slopes. No alteration of pad gradients should be allowed that would prevent pad and roof runoff from being directed to approved disposal azeas. • - As part of site maintenance by the resident, all roof and pad drainage shou~d be directed away from slopes and around struchues to approved disposal azeas. All berms were constructed and compacted as part of fine grading and should be maintained by the resident. Drainage patterns have been established at the time of the fine grading should be maintained throughout the life of the structure. No alterations to these drainage pattems should be made ~ unless designed by qualified professionals in compliance with local code requirements and site-specific soils conditions. Slope Draiuaee ~ - Residents should be made aware of the importance of maintaining and cleaning all interceptor ditches, drainage terraces, downdrains, and any other drainage devices, which have been installed to promote slope stability. - Subsurface drainage pipe outlets may protrude through slope surfaces and/or wall faces. These pipes, in conjunction with the graded features, aze essential to slope and wall stability • and must be protected in-place. They should not be altered or damaged in any way. Plantin¢ and Irrieatiou of Slopes - Seeding and planting of the slopes should be planned to achieve, as rapidly as possible, a ~ well-established and deep-rooted vegetal cover requiring minimal watering. • -U" PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC. • Work Order700007-G October 27, 2004 '• Page C-3 - It is the responsibility of the landscape architect to provide such plants initially and of the residents to maintain such planting. Alteration of such a planting scheme is at the resident's risk. II ~ - The resident is responsible for proper irrigation and for maintenance and repair of properly installed irrigation systems. Leaks should be fixed immediately. - Sprinklers should be adjusted to provide maacimum uniform coverage with a minimum of water usage and overlap. Overwatering with consequent wasteful runoff and serious ground saturation must be avoided. - If automatic sprinkler systems are installed, their use must be adjusted to account for seasonal and natural rainfall conditions. Burrowine Animals ~ - Residents must undertake a program to eliminate burrowing animals. This must be an , ongoing program in order to promote slope stability. Homeowner Improvement ~ Homeowner improvements (pools, spas, patio slabs, retaining walls, planters, etc.) should be designed to account for the terrain of the project, as well as expansive soil conditions and chemical chazacteristics. Design considerations on any given lot may need to include provisions ~ for differential bearing materials, ascending/descending slope conditions, bedrock structure, I perched (inigation) water, special geologic surcharge loading conditions, expansive soil stresses, and long-term creep/settlement. ~ All homeowner improvements should be designed and constructed by qualified professionals utilizing appropriate design methodologies, which account for the on-site soils and geologic conditions. Each lot and proposed improvement should be evaluated on an individual basis. ~ Setback Zones Fill slopes have been manufactured on site to ma~cimum heights of approximately five (5) feet. Manufactured slopes may be subject to long-term settlement and creep that can manifest itself in the form of both horizontal and vertical movement. These movements typically are produced as ~ a result of weathering, erosion, gravity forces, and other natural phenomenon. A setback adjacent to slopes is required by most building codes, including the Uniform Building Code. 2~ PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEERING, INC. '~ Work Order 700007-G October 27, 2004 I• Page C-4 This zone is intended to locate and support the residential structures away from these slopes and onto soils that aze not subject to the potential adverse effects of these natural phenomena. I~ The homeowner may wish to consUuct patios, walls, walkways, planters, swimming pools, spas, etc. within this zone. Such facilities may be sensitive to settlement and creep and should not be constructed within the setback zone unless properly engineered. It is suggested that a professional engineer who is familiaz with hillside grading ordinances and design and ~ construction requirements associated with hillside conditions design plans for such improvements. In addition, we recommend that the designer and contractor familiarize themselves with the site specific geologic and geotechnical conditions on the specific lot. Excavation Characteristics Excavation of on site materials did not require heavy ripping or blasting for efficient excavation and fill placement. Fill placed during grading of the subject lots consisted of soi] comprised predominantly of silty sand with some clay and gravel. Minor amounts of cobbles up to 4-inches in diameter were also encountered. li I• I• I• 1~' PACIFIC SOILS ENGINEELi1NG. INC.
