' 1.0 INTRODUCiION
~ 1.1 Purpose and Scooe
~ The purpose of this supplemental geotechnical investigation was to evaluate the condition
of the existing fill soils, evaluate existing geotechnical constraints related to the proposed
residential development, and provide geotechnical recommendations for remedial
~ earthwork, erosion repair, future site grading, foundation design parameters and
pavement sections. The site was previously rough-graded in 2001 and 2002. Geotechnical
services during rough grading were provided by Petra Geotechnical, Inc. (Petra, 2001 and
~ 2002).
The scope of services performed by Leighton for this supplemental investigation included the
~{ following items:
il
• Review of previous geotechnical reports for the subject tract, preliminary site plan,
~ maps, aerial photographs, and other pertinent documents (Appendix A).
• General field reconnaissance to observe the existing onsite geotechnical conditions.
~ • Subsurface exploration consisting of the excavation, logging, and sampling of ten
exploratory backhoe test pits across the previously compacted fill area (see Figure 2).
• Laboratory testing of representative soil samples obtained from the subsurface
~ exploration program.
• Prepazation of this report presenting our findings, conclusions and preliminary
~ geotechnical recommendations with respect to development of the site and general
construction considerations. It should be noted that additional subsurface
investigation and evaluation may be recommended based on future site development
~ plans. '
~ 1.2 Site Location and Descrintion
The project site is an irregulaz shaped tract located generally southeast of the intersection
~ of Rancho Califomia Road and Ynez Road in the City of Temecula, Riverside County,
California. The project site is bounded by Ynez Road to the north, Embassy Suites Hotel
and a plaza to the west, Interstate Highway 15 to the south, and residential development
~ to the east. The approximate limits of the site are shown on the Site Location Map
(Figure 1).
~ The subject property was previously sheet graded into three (3) super-pads under the
geotechnical observation and testing services of Petra Geotechnical Ina (2002). Based
on our review of the Geotechnical Report of the Rough Grading (Petra, 2002), gading
~ consisted of cuts and fills with a malcimum fill thickness of approximately 45 feet.

, 111442-003
May 16, 2005
~ The project site is currently vacant with the exception of an isolated stockpile of
~ boulders. Desilring basins aze located throughout the site and continue to retain water.
The surface soils of the super-pads and slopes appeared to be dry with medium to heavy
growth of weeds and vegetarion scattered across the site. Loose sediment deposits and
~ erosion rills up to 4 feet in depth were encountered along the alignment of Rancho
Highland Drive and Tierra Vista Road.
~ 1.3 Prouosed Develoument
Based on our review of the preliminary site plan (RBF, 2005), we understand that the
~ proposed development will consist of approximately 66 two-story triplex residenrial
buildings, pavements, detention basins, a pazk, and other associated improvements.

~ 2:O INVESTIGATION AND LABORATORYTESTING
~ 2.1 Field Investigation
~ On April 19, 2005, Leighton conducted a field exploration, which consisted of the
excavation, sampling, in-situ density testing, and logging of 10 exploratory test pits at
selected locations throughout the subject tract. The exploratory test pits were excavated
~ to depths ranging from approximately 8 to 8.5 feet below the existing ground surface
using a rubber-tired backhoe. Approximate locations of the test pits aze depicted on the
Test Pit Location Map (Figure 2). A staff engineer from Leighton conducted sampling
n and logging of the test pits. Soil materials were visually classified according to the
u Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D2488) and further classified in the
laboratory. Logs of the test pits are presented in Appendix A. In-situ density tests of the
U previously compacted fill were performed at various depths in accordance with ASTM
Test Method D2992 (nuclear gauge method). After logging, sampling, and testing, the
excavations were loosely backfilled with spoils generated during excavation. Selected
U representative samples were delivered to ow laboratory for testing.
2.2 Laboratorv Testinq
U Laboratory tests were performed on representative bulk samples, obtained from
previously compacted fill azea, to provide a basis for development of design pazameters.
U Selecfed samples were tested for maximum dry density and optimum moisture, expansion
index, and corrosion potential (soluble sulfate). Test results are presented in Appendix C.
n 2.3 previous Site Gradina Operations
~1
U The subject site was initially rough graded during August through December of 2000,
and completed on September through October of 2001, under the geotechnical
observation and testing of Petra Geotechnical, Inc. A report documenting the
U geotechnical observations and field density testing of compacted fill placed at the site
was provided (Petra, 2002). Based on our review of that report, low-density natural
soils were removed to expose competent bedrock as part of the site prepazation. Fill
U soils were compacted to 90 percent of the ma~cimum dry density in accordance with
ASTM D1557. The approximate depths of removal ranged from 2 to 20 below original
grades. A summary of the as-graded condition is as follows:
~ • The onsite soils have a very low to medium expansion potential with soils very low to
~ low potential to expansion more prevalent on site;
• Based on the ASTM Test Method D1557, ma~cimum dry densities of the
representative soil samples were in the range of 102 to 134 pounds per cubic feet
U (pc~ with optimum moistures of 8 to 15.0 percent;

~
, 111442-003
May 16, 2005
~ • The relative compaction of the fill placed were at least 90 percent of the maximum
~ dry density in accordance with ASTM Test Method D1557;
• The sulfate content of the onsite soils aze non-detectable;
~ • Cut and fill slopes constructed at a 2:1 with maximum height of 40 and 60 feet,
respectively, were grossly stable. Buttress fill was not required.
~ Due to the length of time since the completion of original rough grading and weathering
of soils, Petra Geotechnical Inc. performed a supplemental geotechnical investigation
~ (Petra, 2003) to evaluate the soil conditions for continued development of the project
site. Eleven exploratory test pits to maz~imum depth of 4 feet were excavated and in-
situ density testing of the previously compacted fill were performed at various depths.
The geotechnical consultant concluded that the project site was still suitable far
~~ development with remedial grading to repair surficial weathering and erosion damage
of the pads and slopes.

3.0
Based on our preliminary geotechnical evalua6on, it is our professional opinion that the proposed
development is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. The following is a summary of the
geotechnical findings and factors that may affect development of the site.
~ • The previously compacted fills consist of dry to very moist mixture of silty sands and sandy
silts. The in-situ moisture content of the fill soils within upper 8.5 feet varied in the range of
33 to 21.0 percent.
~ • Laboratory test results show that the maximum dry densities of the bulk samples of the on-
site fill soils ranged from 121.5 to 133 pcf with optimum moisture contents ranging &om 8.5
to 12.0 percent.
~ • The shallow fill soils are currently at less than 90 percent relative compaction. The depth of
the undercompacted material is approximately 1 to 3 feet throughout most of the site.
~ • Based on limited laboratory testing (Appendix C) and visual classification, the majority of
onsite earth materials generally have a very low expansion potential. Very low to medium
expansive soils are anticipated to be encountered during rough grading. Soils with medium
~ expansion potential (Expansion Index > 50) may be present in the cut azeas (Petra, 2002).
• Limited laboratory testing (Appendix C) indicates that the on-site soils present a negligible
~ sulfate exposure to concrete.
• Localized, shallow surficial erosion were observed at different sections of the previously
graded slopes within the subject tract.

~ 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
~ 4.1 Earthwork
~ Earthwork should be performed in accordance with the General Earthwork and Grading
Specifications in Appendix D and the following recommendations. The recommendations
contained in Appendix D aze general grading specifications provided for typical grading
~ projects. Some of the recommendations may not be strictly applicable to this project. The
specific recommendations contained in the text of this report supersede the general
recommendations in Appendix D.
~l 4.1.1 Site Preoaration and Remedial Removals
~ We anticipate that future earthwork at the site will consist of site prepazation,
remedial rough-grading, precise grading, foundation installation, trench excavation
and backfill, permanent slope construction, and construction of street sections.
L Previously compacted fill or cut surfaces should be cleazed of vegetation,
deleterious materials, desiccated fill soils, wet soils and undocumented fill soils
U including all stockpiles of dirt. Based on our field moisture and density testing, it is
our opinion that approximately 1 to 3 feet of previously compacted fill azea should
~ be overexcavated to expose fill meeting 90 percent relative compaction per ASTM
D1557. Deeper removals may be required locally as determined by the
geotechnical engineer during grading.
~ Public roadways (Rancho Highlands and Tiena Vista) and private roadways within
the subject site should be overexcavated to a depth of 3 feet and 1 foot,
~ respectively. The overexcavation depth should be measured from the deeper of
existing grade or planned pavement subgrade. The lateral limits of the
overexcavation should extend at least equal to the depth of removal from the face
~ of the curb.
Prior to placement of additional fill, remedial removal azeas should be scarified a
U minimum of 8 inches, moisture conditioned as necessary and recompacted to a
minimum 90 percent relative compaction based on ASTM D1557.
~ 4.1.2 Cut/Fill Transition Pads
In order to mitigate the impact of underlying cuUfill transition conditions, we
~ recommend overexcavation of the cut portion of transition pads. Overexcavation
should extend to a minimum depth of 5 feet below the bottom of the proposed
footings or one-half of the maximum fill thickness on the pad, whichever is deeper.
~
~ ~
-7-
~ Leighton
~
a 111442-003
May 16, 2005
~ The limits of overexcavation should extend laterally a mnumum of five feet
U outside the building footprint.
4.1.3 Structural Fills
a The onsite soils aze generally suitable for re-use as compacted fill, provided they are
free of debris and organic matter. Fills placed within 10 feet of finish pad grades
U should contain no rocks over 12 inches in maximum dimension.
Fill soils should be placed at a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction (based
~ on ASTM D1557) and at neaz or above optimum moisture content. Placement and
compac[ion of fill should be performed in accordance with local grading
ordinances under the observation and testing of the geotechnical consultant. The
~ optimum lift thickness to produce a uniformly compacted fill will depend on the
type and size of compaction equipment used. In general, fill should be placed in
O uniform lifts not exceeding 8 inches in thickness
4.1.4 Slooe Repair
~1 Previously graded slopes (cut and f Il) within the subject tract showed localized,
shallow surficial erosion. Slope face repair may be done by simple moisture
~ conditioning in-place and surficial recompaction without resorting to remedial
stabilization fill. Such surficial recompaction of the slope face may be attained by
track-walking with a small dozer (e.g., Caterpillaz D-4 or equivalent). The use of
~ large equipment for surficial recompaction is not recommended for this process.
~ All slopes, fill and cut, should be landscaped with deep-rooted, drought-tolerant
vegetation. The minimum irrigation necessary to sustain plant vigor should be
utilized. Cut slopes which expose weathered, cohesionless sandstone (i.e., clean
~ sand) should be covered with jute matting or protected with approved other
erosion-control measures.
~ 4.1.5 Temoorarv Excavations
Temporary excavations with vertical sides, such as utility trenches, should remain
~ stable'to depths of 4 feet or less for the period required to construct the utility. In
accardance with OSHA requirements, excavations greater than 4 feet in depth
should be shored, or laid-back to inclinations of 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) or
~ flatter, if workers aze to enter such excavations. Leighton does not consult in the
azea of safety engineering. The contractor is responsible for the safety of all
excavations.

~ 4.2 Preliminarv Foundation and Siab Design Parameters
U It is our understanding that the detached two-story triplex residential structures may be
founded on conventional or post-tensioned foundation systems. The proposed
~ foundarions and slabs should be designed in accordance with the structural consultants'
design, the minimum geotechnical recommendations presented in this report, the City of
Temecula requirements and the 1997 UBC.
U Residential foundation footings may be designed with the following parameters:
~ Allowable Bearing Capacity: 2,000 psf at a minimum depth of embedment of 18
inches, plus an addirional 250 psf per 6 inches of
U additional embedment to a maximum of 3,000 psf.
(per 1997 UBC, capacities may be increased by'/3 for
short-term loading conditions, i.e., wind, seismic)
U Sliding Coefficient: 0.38
~ Settlement Potenrial: Total: 1 inch
Dift'erential: %z inch in 40 feet
~ For budgetary and pianning purposes, prelimiuary recommendations on the footing width,
depth, reinforcement, slab reinforcement, and the slab-on-grade thickness aze provided in
O Tables 1 Uuough 3(reaz of the text) for very low to low expansive soil subgrade (Expansion
Index 5 50).
~ We recommend that as grading progresses, building pads be evaluated for expansion
potential. The final footing and slab design for each proposed struchue should be
designed based on the results of the lot by lot evaluation upon completion of grading and
~ strvchual evaluation. If footings are to be founded on medium expansive soil subgrade
(Expansion Index > 50), specific recommendations for foundation design should be
provided by Leighton.
~ 4.3 Foundation Setback from Slooes
~ We recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance from the face of slopes for all
structural footings (retaining and decorative walls, building footings, slabs, patios, pools,
~ etc.). This distance is measured from the outside bottom edge of the fooring horizontally to
the slope face (or to the face of a retaining wall) and should be a minimum of H/3, where H is
the slope height (in feet). The setback should not be less than 10 feet. If design constraints

a require smaller setbacks in certain areas, Leighton should evaluate those azeas on a case-by-
U case basis.
The soils within the shuctural setback azea possess poor lateral stability and improvements
U (such as retaining walls, sidewalks, fences, pauements, etc.) constructed within this setback
azea may be subject to lateral movement and/or differential settlement. The potenrial for
distress to such improvements may be mitigated by providing a deepened footing or a pier
U and grade-beam foundation system to support the improvement. The deepened footing
should meet the setback as described above. Modifica6ons of slope inclinations neaz
foundarions may reduce the setback and should be reviewed by the design team prior to
~ completion of design or implementarion.
4.4 Fault Setback
U Active faulting was previously mapped within the Lot 3(Leighton, 1987). In accordance
U with State of California and Riverside County requirements, we recommend a shuchual
setback of 50 feet from the mapped fault trace as shown in the referenced report (Leighton,
1987). We recommend that the setback zone be extended up and away from the fault,
Q through the compacted fill, at a 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) slope to the finish grade
Structures for human occupancy should not be constructed within the fault setback zone.
~ Other uses may be considered.
4.5 Structure Seismic Desian Parameters
~ Structures should be designed as required by pmvisions of the Uniform Building Code
(CTBC) for 5eismic Zone 4 and state-of-the-art seismic design parameters of the Shuctural
~ Engineers Association of California This site is located with UBC Seismic Zone 4. Seismic
design pazameters in accordance with the 1997 UBC aze presented below.
~ Seismic Source Type = B
Soil Profile Type = Sn
Neaz Source Factor, N8 = 13
~ Near Source Factor, N~ = 1.6
Seismic Coefficient, Ce = 0.57
~ Seismic CoefTcient, C~ = 1.02
~ 4.6 Pavement Section Reoommendations
Limited laboratory test results on representative samples show that on-site subgrade soil
~ have R-values in the range of 14 to 46. We assumed a R-value of 30 for preliminary

a pavement section recommendations in this report. For planning and esrimating purposes
~ a range of Traffic Indexes (TI's) have been provided for preliminary pavement
recommendations. The final pavement design should be based on R-value tests of
representative samples of the actual subgrade materials and appropriate traffic indices
U selected by the project civil engineer or traffic engineering consultant, should be in
general accordance with City o£ Temecula Standazds. The pavement sections should meet
or exceed County of Riverside standards. Minimum pavement sections based on the
U Caltrans Highway Design Manual Method are presented on Table 4, (reaz of text).
The upper 12 inches of subgrade soils should be compacted to at least 95 percent relative
~ compaction (ASTM D1557). The subgrade soils should be condirioned to near optimum
moisture content and kept in this condirion until the pavement section is constructed. The
subgrade should be proof-rolled prior to placement of aggregate base and under the
U observation of the geotechnical consultant in order to identify any yielding areas.
Aggregate base should be compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction (ASTM
U D1557). Base rock should conform to the current edition of the "Standazd Specifications
for Public Works Construction" (green book) or Caltrans Class 2 aggregate base
standards (minimum R-value of 78). Asphaltic concrete should be placed on compacted
~ aggregate base and compacted to a minimum 95 percent relative compaction based on the
ASTM D 1561 and D27261aboratory standards.

5.0 GEOTECHNICAL REVIEW
u Geotechnical review is of pazamount importance in engineering practice. The poor
performances of many foundation and earthwork projects have been attributed to inadequate
~ conshuc6on review. We recommend that Leighton and Associates be provided the opportunity
to review the following items.
U 5.1 Plans and Snecifications
I,eighton and Associates, Inc. should review the rough grading plans, foundarion plans and
~ proj ect specifications when they are completed. Such review is necessary to evaluate whether
the geotechnical recommendations have been effectively incorporated in plans and other
consirucrion documents. Review Sndings should be reported in writing. If the pmject design
U is revised, additional subsurface invesdgation may be required.
5.2 Construction Review
U Observation and testing should be performed by I,eighton and Associates representatives
during grading and construction. It should be anticipated that the substrata exposed
a during construction may vary from those encountered in the test pits. Reasonably
continuous construction observation and review during site grading and foundation
installation allows for evaluation of the actual soil conditions and the ability to provide
~ appropriate revisions during construction, if required.
0 Site preparation, removal of unsuitable soils, approval of imported earth materials, fill
placement, foundation installation and other geotechnically-related site operations should
be observed and tested by representatives of Leighton and Associates.
~ Additional laboratory testing of subsurface materials should be performed during grading to
confinn compacted density and moisture content, corrosion potential and expansion
~ potential. A state-licensed corrosion engineer should be consulted to review the results of
laboratory tests and provide specific recommendations if corrosion sensitive materials are to
be used.

recommendarions and the UBC.
(2) Exterior column footings should be structurally tied in two directions using grade beams and founded at
least 18 inches below the lowest adjacent soil grade.
(3) The under-slab moisture retazder should consist of 2-inches of sand (Sand Equivalent > 30) over
minimum 10-mil thick visqueen (or equivalent) over an additional 2-inches of sand in accordance
with ASTM E1643 and ACI guidelines. All laps and penetretions in the vapor inhibitor should be sealed.
(4) If the concrete slab/floor for the foundation aze designed in accordance with Secrion 1815 of the UBC,
a continuous perimeter footing will likely be used including the garage opening.
(5) Low expansive soil slabs/foundarions designed in accordance with UBC Section 1815 should be
placed monolithically.
(6) Depth of exterior foo6ng to be measured from lowest adjacent finish grade or drainage swale flowline

LEIGHTON AND ASSOCIATES, INC
GENERAL EART'HWORK AND GRADING SPECIFICATIONS FOR ROUGH GRADING
Genera]
1.1 Intent: These General Earthwork and Grading Specificarions are for the grading and
earthwork shown on the approved grading plan(s) and/or indicated in the geotechnical
report(s). These Specifications are a part of the recommendarions contained in the
geotechnical report(s). In case of conflict, the specific recommendations in the
geotechnical report shall supersede these more general Specifications. Observations of the
earthwork by the project Geotechnical Consultant during the course of grading may result
in new or revised recommendations that could supersede these specifications or the
recommendarions in the geotechnical report(s).
1.2 The Geotechnical Consultant of Record: Prior to commencement of work, the owner shall
employ the Geotechnical Consultant of Record (Geotechnical Consultant). The
Geotechnical Consultants shall be responsible for reviewing the approved geotechnical.
report(s) and accepting the adequacy of the preliminary geotechnical findings, conclusions,
and recommendarions prior to the commencement of the grading.
Prior to commencement of grading, the Geotechnical Consultant shall review the "work
plan" prepazed by the Earthwork Contractor (Coniractor) and schedule sufficient personnel
to perform the appropriate level of observarion, mapping, and compaction testing.
During the grading and earthwork operations, the Geotechnical Consultant shall observe,
map, and document the subsurface exposures to verify the geotechnical design
assumprions. If the observed condi6ons are found to be significantly different than the
interpreted assumpfions during the design phase, the Geotechnical Consultant shall inform
the owner, recommend appropriate changes in design to accommodate the observed
condirions, and notify the review agency where required. Subsurface areas to be
geotechnically observed, mapped,elevationsrecorded, and/ortested include natural ground
after it has been cleazed for receiving fill but before fili is placed, bottoms of all "remedial
remova]" areas, all key bottoms, and benches made on sloping ground to receive fill.
The Geotechnical Consultant shall observe the moistute-condirioning and processing of the
subgrade and fill materials and perform relarive compacrion testing of fill to detemune the
attained level of compaction. The Geotechnical Consultant shall provide the test results to
the owner and the Contractor on a routine and frequent basis.
13 The Earthwork Contractor: The Earthwork Contractor (Contractor) shall be qualified,
experienced, and ]mowledgeable in earthwork logistics, prepararion and processing of
ground to receive fill, moisturecondirioning and processing of fill, and compacring fill.
The Conhactor shall review and accept the plans, geotechnical report(s), and these
Specifications prior to commencement of grading. The Contractor shall be solely
responsible for perfoiu~iug the grad'mg in accordance with the plans and specificarions.

work plan that indicates the sequence of earthwork grading, the number of "spreads" of
U work and the esrimated quanrities of daily earthwork contemplated for the site prior to
commencement of grading. The Contractor shall inform the owner and the Geotechnical
Consultant of changes in work schedules and updates to the wark plan at least 24 hours in
~ advance of such changes so that appropriate observations and tests can be planned and
accomplished. The Contractor shall not assume that the Geotechnical Consultant is awaze
of all grading operarions.
~ The Contractor shall have the sole responsibility to provide adequate equipment and
methods to accomplish the earkhwork in accordance with the applicable grading codes. and
U agency ardinances, these Specifications, and the recommendations in the approved
geotechnical report(s) and grading plan(s). If, in the opinion of the Geotechnical
Consultant, unsarisfactory conditions, such as unsuitable soil, improper moishue condition,
~ inadequate compaction, insufficient buttress key size, adverse weather, etc, aze resulting in
a quality of work less than required in these specificarions, the Geotechnical Consultant
shall reject the work and may recommend to the owner that construcrion be stopped until
the conditions are recrified.
a
2.0 Preparation of Areas to be Filled
U 2.1 Clearine and Grubbing: Vegetation, such as brush, grass, roots, and other deleterious
material shall be sufficiently removed and properly disposed of in a method acceptable to
a the owner, goveming agencies, and the Geotechnical Consultant.
The Geotechnical Consultant shall evaluate the extent of these removals depending on
~ specific site condifions. Earth fill material shall not contain more than 1 percent of organic
materials (by volume). No fill lift shall contain more than 5 percent of organic matter.
Nesting of the organic materials shall not be allowed.
~ If potenrialiy hazardous materials aze encountered, the Contractor shall stop work in the
affected azea, and a l~a7ardous material specialist shall be informed immediately for proper
~ evaluarion and handling of these materials prior to continuing to work in that uea.
As presently defined by the State of California, most refined petroleum products (gasoline,
^' diesel fuel, motor oil, grease, coolant, etc.) have chemical constituents that aze considered
:~ to be hazardous waste. As such, the indiscriminate dumping or spillage of these fluids
onto the ground may constitute a misdemeanor, punishable by fines and/or imprisonment
~ and shall not be allowed. '
22 Processine: Existing ground that has been declared satisfactory for support of fill by the
~ Geotechnical Consultant shall be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches. Existing
ground that is not satisfactory shall be overexcavated as specified in the following secrion.
Scarification shall continue until soils are broken down and free of lazge clay lu~ps or

would inhibit uniform compaction.
23 Overexcavation: In addirion to removals and overexcavations recommended in the
U approved geotechnical report(s) and the grading plan, soft, loose, dry, saturated, spongy,
organic-rich, highly frachtted or otherwise unsuitable gound shall be overexcavated to
~ competent ground as evaluated by the Geotechnical Consultant during grading.
2.4 Benchine: Where fills aze to be laced on ound with slo es ste er than 5:1
P ~ P ep (horizonta]

~ for a graphic illustrerion. The lowest bench or key shall be a minimum of 15 feet wide and
at least 2 feet deep, into competent material as evaluated by the Geotechnical Consultant.
Other benches shall be excavated a minimum height of 4 feet into competent material or as
~ othenvise recommended by the Creotechnical Consultant. Fill placed on ground sloping
flatter than 5:1 shall also be benched or otherwise overexcavated to provide a flat subgrade
a for the fill.
2.5 Evaluation/Acceptance of Fill Areas: All azeas to receive fill, including removal and
processed azeas, key bottoms, and benches, shall be observed, mapped, elevations recorded
~ ,
and/or tested prior to being accepted by the Geotectinical Consultant as suitable to receive
fill. The Contractor shall obtain a written acceptance from the Geotechnical Consultant
prior to fill placement. A licensed surveyor shall provide the survey control for
0 determining elevarions of processed areas, keys, and benches.
2.6
~ 3.0 Fill Material
3.1 General: Material to be used as fill sttall be essentially free of organic matter and other
a deleterious substances evaluated and accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant prior to
placement. Soils of poor quality, such as those with unacceptable gradation, high
expansion potenqal, or low shength shall be placed in areas acceptable to the Geotechnical
~ Consultant or mixed with other soils to achieve sarisfactory fill material.
3.2 Oversize: Oversize material defined as rock, or other irreducible material with a ma7cimum
U dimension greater than 8 inches, shall not be buried or placed in fill unless locaNon,
materials, and placement methods aze specifically accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant.
Placement operations shall be such that nesting of oversized material dces not occur and
~ such that oversize material is completely surrounded by compacted or densified fill.
Oversize material shall not be placed within 10 vertical feet of fmish grade or within 2 feet
of future utiliries or underground construcNon.
~ 3.3 Itnport: If importing of fill material is required for grading, proposed import material shall
meet the requirements of Section 3.1. The potenrial import source shall be given to the
Geotechnical Consultant at least 48 hours (2 worldng days) before importing begins so that
~ its suitability can be detern~ined and appropriate tests performed. Import fill should be &ee
of all deleterious material and hazardous waste. Testing for hazardous waste typicall~+ takes

Fill Placement and Compaction
4.1 Fill Lavers: Approved fill material shall be placed in azeas prepazed to receive fill (per
Section 3.0) in neaz-horizontal layers not exceeding 8 inches in loose thiclmess. The
Geotechnical Consultant may accept thicker layers if testing indicates the grading
procedures can adequately compact the thicker layers. Each layer shall be spread evenly
and mixed thoroughly to attain relative unifomrity of material and moisture throughout.
' 4.2 Fill Moishse Conditionine: Fill soils shall be watered, dried back, blended, and/or mixed,
as necessary to attain a relatively uniform moisture content at or slightly over optimum.
Maximwn density and optimum soil moisture content tests st~all be performed in
accordance with the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM Test. Method
D1557-91).
43 Comoaction of Fill: After each layer has been moistise-conditioned, mixed, and evenly
• spread, it shall be uniformly compacted to not less than 90 percent of maximum dry density
(ASTM Test Method D1557-91). CompacHon equipment shall be adequately sized and be
either specifically designed for soil compaction or of proven reliability to efficiently
achieve the specified level of.compac6on with unifornuty.
4.4 Comnacfion of Fill Sl~es: 1n addirion to nocmal compaction procedures specified above,
compacrion of slopes shall be accomplished by baclaolling of slopes with sheepsfoot
rollers at increments of 3 to 4 feet in fill elevarion, or by other methods producing
safisfactory results acceptable to the Geotechnical Consultant. Upon comple6on of
grading, relarive compaction of the fill, out to the slope face, shall be at least 90 percent of
maximum density per AST'M Test Method D1557-91.
4.5 Compacfion Testing: Field tests for moisture content and relative compacrion of the fill
soils shall be performed by the Geotechnical Consultant. I,oca6on and frequency of tests
shall be at the ConsultanYs discrerion based on field condirions encountered. Compac6on
test locafions will not necessarily be selected on a random basis. Test locations shall be
selected to verify adequacy of compacrion levels in azeas that aze judged to be prone to
inadequate compaction (such as close to slope faces and at the filUbedrock benches).
4.6 Frequency of Comoaction Tesrine: Tests shall be taken at intervals not exceeding 2 feet in
vertical rise and/or 1,000 cubic yazds of compacted fill soils embanlm~ent. In addition, as a
guideline, at least one test shall be taken on slope faces for each 5,000 square feet of slope
face and/or each 10 feet of vertical height of slope. The Contractor shall assure that fill
conskucrion is such that the testing schedule can be accomplished by the Geotechnical
Consultant. The Contractor shall stop or slow down the eaRhwork conshvction if these
minimum standards are not met.
4.7 Comnacrion Test Locarions: The Geotechnical Consultant shall document the appr~a~imate
