The rough grading of the pads began on April 17, 1991, and was completed on May 7, 1991. , PREPARATION OF EXISTING GROUND 1. Trash, debris, and major vegetation was stripped and hauled ' off the site prior to the start of the rough grading. 2. The proposed fill areas within the building pad area and five ' feet beyond in each direction were overexcavated to firm and competent unyielding material. 3. The exposed subsoils within the above removal areas were ' scarified 12 inches, brought to at least optimum moisture content, then compacted to obtain a minimum relative compaction o£ 90 percent of the laboratory standard. , FILL PLACEMENT , 1. Fills consisted of native onsite, and previously imported materials which were placed in thin 6- to 8-inch lifts, brought to at least optimum moisture content, then compacted to obtain a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent of the ' laboratory standard.

The approximate maximum depth of fill for the building pad is 10 feet. , FIELD TESTING ~ ' , ' ' ' , , 1 1. Field density tests were per£ormed using the nuclear densometer method (ASTM 2922-81 and 3017-78). The test results are shown in the enclosed Table I. The estimated locations of the field density tests are shown on the enclosed plan, Plate I, prepared by To-Mac Engineering. 2. Field density tests were taken at periodic intervals and random locations to check the compaction effort by the contractor. Where test results indicate a less than 90 percent relative compaction, the contractor was notified and the area was reworked until retesting indicated a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent. Based on the grading operations observed, the test results herein are considered representative of the compacted fill. 3. Visual classi£ication of the soils in the field was the basis for determining which maximum density value to use for a given density test. LABORATORY TESTING Maximwn Density Values The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for each of the major soil types was determined according to test method ASTM D-1557-78. The following table presents the test results. Maximum Dry Optimum Moisture Soil Type Densitv, Pcf Content $ A. Olive Gray Silty Sand 128.5 10.5 ' B. Yellow Brown Silty Sand 131.5 9.0 C. Olive Brown Silty Sand 129.5 11.0 D. Olive Green Sandy Silt 117.5 12.0 1 ' ~ Expansion index tests were performed on typical near surface materials. The test was performed ac~ording to UBC Standard No. ' GeoSoils, Inc. 3 , ' Gabele and Oman Parcel Map 23960 ' Soil Tvpe ' 29-23 outlined in Section 2904(b) of the Uniform Building Code. The result o£ this test is shown below as follows: , Soil Tvpe ' A D Sul£ates A Expansion Index 44 7 ' Samples of the site materials were analyzed for sulfate content and the test result is as £ollows: ' , ' ' May 14, 1991 W.O. 278-B-RC Page 4 UBC Classification LoW Very Low 0.001 Based upon the test result, sulfate resistent concrete is not required. Bearina Value FOUNDATION DESIGN PARAMETERS 1. An allowable bearing value of 1500 lbs/sq. ft. may be used for ' the design of continuous and column footings which have a minimum depth of 12 inches and a minim~m width of 12 inches. , This value may be increased by one-third when considering short duration seismic or wind loads. , 2. Soil generated from footing excavations to be used onsite should be compacted to a minimum 90 percent o£ the laboratory standard, whether it is to be placed inside the foundation perimeter, or in the yard areas. This material must not alter ' positive drainage patterns away from the structural area and toward the street. ' Lateral Pressure 1. The active earth gres~ure to be utilized for retaining wall ' design may be computed as an equivalent fluid having a density o£ 30 pounds per cubic foot when the slope of the backfill behind the wall is level. Where the slope backfill is 2:1, an equivalent fluid pressure of 45 pounds per cubic foot should ' be used.

Passive earth pressure may be computed as an equivalent fluid having a density of 200 pounds per cubic £oot, with a maximum earth pressure of 1500 pounds per square foot. 3. An allowable coef£icient of friction between soil and concrete of 0.30 may be used with the dead load forces. When combining passive pressure and frictional resistance, the passive pressure component should be reduced by one-third. For design of isolated poles, the allowable passive earth pressure may be increased by one hundred percent. ' General ' C~ ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' 1 The following are minimum recommendations based upon a soils engineering viewpoint. Architectural or design engineering recommendations/specifications may supersede these recommendations. 1. Exterior footings should be founded at a minimum depth of 12 inches below the lowest ad~acent ground surface for single- story structures and 18 inches below the lowest adjacent ground surface for two-story structures. Footing widths should be a minimum of 12 inches for a single-story structure and 15 inches for a two-story structure. Interior footings may be £ounded at a depth of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent ground surface. All footings should have one No. 4 reia£orcing bar placed at the top and one No. 4 reinforcing bar placed at the bottom. 2. A grade beam, at least 12 inches by 12 inches square and reinforced as above, should be provided across the garage entrances. The base of the grade beam should be at the same elevation as the adjoining footings. 3. Concrete slabs, except in the garage area, should be underlain with a vapor barrier consisting of a minimum of 6 mil polyvinyl chloride membrane with all laps either sealed or overlaid 12 inches. This membrane should be covered with one inch of clean sand to aid in uniform curing of the concrete. 4. Concrete slabs, including the garags sr~a, should be reinforced with 6-inch by 6-inch, No. 10 by No. 10, welded- wire mesh~ Al1 slab rein£orcement- should be properly supported or hook-pulled to ensure proper positioning during placement of concrete.

Concrete slabs in the garage area should be poured separately from the residential footings and be quartered with expansion joints or saw cuts. A positive separation from the footings should be maintained with expansion joint material to prevent relative movement. UTILITY TRENCIi SACKFILL 1. All utility trenches, exterior and interior, should be compacted to obtain a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent of the laboratory standard. 2. Exterior trenches, paralleling a footing and extending below a 1:1 projection from the outside bottom edge of the footing should be backfilled with native onsite materials and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of the laboratory standard. Sand backfill, unless it is similar to the native onsite materials, should not be allowed in these trench backfill areas. ' 3. The project soils engineer should be notified in advance to test the backfill materials described above. ' 1 ' , , , ' t ADDITIONAL GRADING The pro~ect soils engineer should be notified in advance of any additional fill placement, regrading of the site or trench backfilling after rough grading has been complete. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Cuts, fills or processing of original ground under the purview of this report have been completed under the inspection of any with selective testing by GeoSoils, Inc. and are found to be in compliance with the Grading Code of the City of Temecula, California.
