An interim channel was created, in accordance with the rough grading configurations (RBF,
2003) within neighborhoods 29 and 30 of Tract 29639-2 (Leighton, 2004). During the recent
rough grading the channel was filled with compacted fill soils in accordance with the new desig~
configurations (RBF, 2006). Leighton has prepared this as-graded report summarizing our
geotechnical observations, field and laboratory test results and the geotechnical condirions
encountered during the recent rough grading of Intericn Channel located within Tract 29639-2. In
addition, this report provides geotechnical conclusions and recommendarions for continued
development of the site.
The referenced 100-scale grading plan for Tract 29639-2 (RBF, 2006) was annotated and utilized
as a base map (Plate 1) to plot the encountered geotechnical condirions and the approximate
locarions of the field density tests taken during rough grading operations.

2.0 SUMMARY OF ROUGH-GRADING OPERATIdNS
Rough-gcading to the approved design configuration (RBF, 2006) was conducted by McKenna
Conshuction, Inc. during April through September of 2005, under the geotechnical observation
and testing services of Leighton, Leighton field technician(s) and geologist were onsite on a fu11-
time and as-needed basis, respectively, during grading operations.
2.1 Site Preoaration and Removals
Prior to grading, deleterious materials were removed and disposed of offsite. Grading of the
channel was accomplished by removal of unsuitable surficial material in accordance with the
recommendations of the project geotechnical reports (Appendix A). The removals were
completed when competent previously-placed compacted fill was encountered in accordance
with the recommendations of the project geotechnical reports (Appendix A) and the
geotechnical recommendations made during grading operations. Approximate removal bottom
elevations are depicted on the enclosed As-Graded Geotechnical Map (Plate 1).
2.2 Field Densitv Testina
Field density testing was performed using the nuclear gauge method (ASTM Test Methods
D2922 and D3017). Tested areas appeaz to meet the minimum required 90 percent relative
compaction with near optimum moisture content. Areas that tested less than the required 90
percent relative compaction, were reworked, moisture conditioned as necessary and
compacted until the minimum 90 percent was obtained. The results of the field density tests
aze summarized in Appendix B. The approximate locarions of the field density tests aze
depicted on the enclosed As-Graded Geotechnical Map (Piatel).
2.3 Exnansion Testing of Soils
Expansion index testing performed throughout the course of grading indicates that very low
to medium expansive soils exist on site at various depths and locarions. Expansion index
tesring was performed in general accordance with American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) Test Method D4829 or UBC Standard 18-2. Additional testing should be
performed based on specific site development and future.precise grading plans. A brief
siunmary of test proccdures and results of tests performed dwing the rough grading aze
presented in Appendix C.
2.4 Laboratorv Testing
Laboratory compaction characteristics (maximutn dry density and optimum moisture),
expansion index, and soluble sulfate tests of representative onsite soils were performed

during the course of rough-grading. The test results and a brief description of the laboratory
testing grocedures are presented in Appendix C.
2.5 Fill Placement
Fill materiais were derived from previously placed stockpile located generally east of the
channe( fill, near Ynez Road. Fill materials consisting of the soil rypes listed in Appendix C
were placed in thin lifts processed and moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture
content, and compacted in place to a minimum of 90 percent of the laboratory derived
maximum density (ASTM D1557). Fill placement and compaction was accomplished with
the use of heavy earthwork equipment.
2.6 Canyon Subdrains
Canyon subdrains were constructed during previous grading (Leighton, 2004). During
current grading, no additional subdrain was placed.

~ 3.0 ENGINEERING GEOLOGIC SUMMARY
' 3.1 As-Graded Geoloaic Conditions
' The as-graded conditions encountered during grading of the channel grading were essentially
as anticipated. A suinmary of the geologic condidons, including geologic units, geologic
struchue and faulting is presented below.
, 3.2 Geoloaic Units
' The geologic unit observeNencountered during grading of the channel consisted of Artificial
Fill (Afl that was placed during recent grading (this report) and previous grading (Leighton,
2004). Late Pleistocene aged Pauba formation is reported to exist underneath the previously
, placed compacted fill (Leighton, 2004), but was not encountered during the recent grading.
Locally derived artificial fill soils generally consisted of olive gray to olive brown silty sand
' to locally slightly clayey silty sand and sandy silt to lean clay. Artificial fill soils were placed
under the observation and field density testing by L,eighton representadves during this phase
of grading. After moisture conditioning and thorough mixing, the artificial fill soils were
' placed in relatively thin lifts and compacted utilizing heavy duty wnstruction equipment.
, 3.3 Geologic Structure and Faultina
Based on ow geologic observations during site previous grading (Leighton, 2004), the Pauba
' Formation was massive with localized bedding, which was generally flat lying. No faulting or
indicarions of acrive fauiting was anticipated nor observed within the channel during previous
rough-grading operations. The nearest "wned" active fault as discussed in the project
' supplemental geotechnical invesrigation report by I.eighton (Leighton, 2003a) is the Temecula
Segment of the Elsinore Fault Zone located approximately 1.4 miles (2.61an) to the southwest.
, 3.4 Landslides and Su~cial Failures
Based on our review of the project geotechnical reports (Appendix A) and our geologic
~ observarions during the course of grading operarions, there were no indications of landslides
or other significant surficial failures within the gaded area. It should be noted that unplanted
or unprotected slopes are subject to erosion and subsequent surficial instability.
' 3.5 Groundwater
~ Groundwater was not encountered during recent grading. Canyon subdrains are located
within and beneath the recent fills which were constructed during previous grading
, (Leighton, 2004). However, unforeseen conditions may occur after the completion of grading

and establishment of site irrigation and landscaping. Perched groundwater may accumulate at
layers of differing permeability or at bedrock/fill contacts. If these condirions shouid occur,
the owner should take steps to mitigate any resulting seepage. Presendy, the majority of the
subject site drains generally towazds the south. Any surface runoff will tend to collect at low
points until such time that the proposed design drainage facilities are constructed. If water is
allowed to pond in these areas for any length of time the subgrade in these areas may become
saturated and additional grading recommendations may be required to mitigate this condition.
We recommend that the project erosion control program be designed and implemented as
soon as possible to limit the potential of erosion damage or adverse effects to compacted-fiil.

4A CONCLUSIONS
110231-028
July 25, 2006
The grading of the interim channel was performed in general accordance with the project
geotechnical reports and geotechnical recommendarions made during the course of rough-
grading. It is our professional opinion that the rough graded channel site and neighborhood
29 and 30 (Leighton, 2004) are suitable for their intended commercial purpose provided the
recommendations included herein and in the project geotechnical reports (Appendix A) are
incorporated into the design and construction of the commercial structures and associated
improvements.
4.2 Summary of Conclusions
• Geotechnical conditions encountered during grading of the interim channel were
generally as anticipated.
• Excavations were made to dense, moist (near optimum moisture content), previously
placed Artificial Fill.
• Laboratory testing of soils encountered during the course of grading indicates site soils to
possess a very low to very medium expansion potential and have a negligible
concentration of soluble sulfate. Some expansive soil related distress to flatwork should
be anticipated. Laboratory test results aze explained and contained in Appendix C.
• Testing for minimum resistivity, chloride concentrates, and pH was not conducted during
the course of rough grading. A corrosion engineer should be contacted in regazd to
determining the potential for corrosion if conosion sensitive buried improvements are to
be installed.
' • The potential for ground-surface rupture on the site due to a seismic event is considered
to be low; however, as in most of southern California, strong ground shaking should be
anticipated during the life of the structures. The standazd design of structures to meet the
, seismic design requirements of the Uniform Building Code (iJBC), Seismic Zone 4 will
be required.
'
~
'
,
• Where tested, fill material placed during grading of the interim channel was placed at a
minimum of 90 percent relative compaction (based on our geotechnical
recommendations), near the optimum moisture content. Field testing of compaction was
performed by the nuclear gauge method (ASTM Test Methods D2922 and D3017).

• Foundations should be designed and constructed in accordance with Leighton's
recommendations herein, the requirements of the City of Temecula and the applicable
sections of the 1997 UBC or most recently adopted building code.
• Due to the relatively dense nature of the bedrock (Pauba Formation) materials that
underlie the subject site, the density of compacted fills, as well as the lack of permanent
shallow groundwater, the potential for liquefaction on the site is considered very low.

' S.1 ~arthwork
5.0 RECOMMENDATION
110231-028
July 25, 2006
We anricipate that future earthwork at the site will consist of additional rough-grading,
' foundation installation, trench excavarion and backfill, retaining wall backfill and
construction of street sections. We recommend that any additional earthwork on the site be
' performed in accordance with the reference reports, the following recommendations, and
the City of Temecula grading requirements.
' S.1.1 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. However, in accordance with OSHA requirements, excavations greater
' than 4 feet in depth should be shored, or laid-back to inclinations of 1:1 (horizontal
to vertical), if workers are to enter such excavations.
' 5.1.2 B~ckfill, Fill Placement and Com a~on -- All backfill or fiil soils should be
brought to at least optimum moisture conditions and compacted in uniform lifts to
at least 90 percent relative compaction based on the laboratory masimum dry
, density (ASTM Test Method D1557). The optimum lift thickness required to
produce uniform compaction wiil depend on the type, size and condirion of
compaction equipment used. In general, the onsite soils should be placed in lifts
, not exceeding 8 inches in compacted thickness.
' S.2 Preliminary Foundation and Structure Design Considerations
It is Leighton's understanding that the subject site and its neighborhoods will be fwther
, developed for commercial use. Specific foundation and structural design recommendarions
should be determined based upon future development plans, site specific soil conditions
and estimated settlement values. The following general geotechnical recommendations may
, be utilized for preliminary planning purposes:
Foundation footings may be preliminarily designed with the following pazameters:
, Allowable Bearing Capacity: 2000 psf at a minimum depth of embedment of 12
inches, plus an additional 250 psf per 6 inches of
' additional emhedment to a malcimum of 4,000 psf.
(per 1997 UBC, capacities may be increased by 1/3 for
short-term loading condirions, i.e., wind, seismic)

5.3 Foundation Setback from Slopes
110231-028
July 25, 2006
We recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance from the face of slopes for all
structural footings (retaining and decorative walls, building footings, etc.). This distance is
measured from the outside bottom edge of the footing horizontally to the slope face (or to
the face of a retaining wall) and should be a minimum of H/2, where H is the slope height
(in feet). The setback should not be less than 7 feet and need not be geater than 10 feet.
Please note that the soils within the structural setback azea possess poor lateral stability and
improvements (such as retaining walls, sidewalks, fences, pavements, etc.) constructed
within this setback area may be subject to lateral movement and/or differential settlement.
The potential for distress to such improvements may be mitigated by providing a deepened
footing or a pier and grade-beam foundation system to support the improvement. The
deepened footing should meet the setback as described above. Modifications of slope
inclinations near foundations may reduce the setback and should be reviewed by the design
team prior to completion of design or imptementation.
' S.4 Structure Seismic Desian Parameters
Skuctures should be designed as required by provisions of the Uniform Building Code
' (UBC) for Seismic Zone 4 or most recently adopted building code and state-of-the-art
seismic design pazameters of the Structural Engineers Association of Califomia. This site
is located with UBC Seismic Zone 4. Seismic design pazameters in accordance with the
~ 1997 UBC aze presented below. Please refer to the Supplemental Geotechnical
Inves6gation (Leighton, 2003a, Appendix A) for additional information.

Embedded structural walls should be designed for lateral earth pressures exerted on them.
The magnitude of these pressures depends on the amount of deformation that the wall can
yield under load. If the wall can yield enough to mobilize the full sheaz strength of the soil,
it can be designed for "active" pressure. If the wall cannot yield under the applied load, the
shear strength of the soil cannot be mobilized and the earth pressure will be higher. Such
walls should be designed for "at resY' conditions. If a structure moves toward the soils, the
resulting resistance developed by the soil is the "passive" resistance.
The equivalent fluid weights of Table 1 assume very low to low expansive, free-draining
conditions. If conditions other than those assumed above are anticipated, equivalent fluid
weights should be provided on a case by case basis by the geotechnical engineer. Surcharge
loading effects from adjacent structures should be evaluated by the structural engineer. All
retaining wall structures should be provided with appropriate drainage and waterproofing.
The outlet pipe should be sloped to drain to a suitable outlet. Typical wall drainage design
is illustrated in Figure 2.
Lateral passive pressures may be determined using the values provided in Table 1. In
wmbining the total lateral resistance, the passive pressure should be reduced by 50 percent.
Wall footings should be designed in accordance with structural considerations. The passive
resistance value may be increased by one-third when considering loads of short duration,
including wind or seismic loads. The horizontal distance between foundation elements
providing passive resistance should be a minimum of three times the depth of the elements
to allow full development of these passive pressures. The total depth of retained earth for
design of cantilever walls should be the vertical distance below the ground surface
measured at the wall face for stem design or measured at the heel of the footing for
overtuming and sliding.
Foundations for retaining walls in competent formational soils or properly compacted fili
should be embedded at least 18 inches below the lowest adjacent finish grade. At this
depth, an allowable bearing capacity of 2,250 psf may be utilized. The bearing capacity
may be increased by 250 psf for each additional six inches of e~nbedment to a maacimum of
4,000 psf.
Wall backcut excavarions less than 5 feet in height can be made near vertical. For backcuts
greater than 5 feet in height, the backcut should be flattened to a gradient not steeper than
1:1 (horizontal to vertical). Backfill soils should be compacted to at least 90 percent relative
compaction (based on ASTM Test Method D1557). Backfill should extend horizontally to a
minimum distance equal to one-half the wall height behind the walls. The walls should be
constructed and backfilled as soon as possible after backcut excavation. Prolonged
exposure of backcut slopes may result in some localized slope instability.

5J Concrete Flatwork
The reinforcement of driveways, sidewalks, or other concrete flatwork may reduce the
potential for excessive cracking or differenrial movement. Welded wire mesh (WWM)
reinforcement (6" by 6", no. 10 by no. 10) or No. 3 rebars at 24 inches on center (each way)
are suggested along with keeping sub-grade soil at or above optimum moisture content
prioc to placing concrete. Some expansive soil related distress should be anricipated.
Addiuonal exterior slab details aze suggested in the American Concrete Institute (ACp
guidelines.
5.8 Control of Surface Water and Drainage Control
Positive drainage of surFace water away from structures is very important. No water should
be allowed to pond adjacent to buildings. Positive drainage may be accomplished by
providing drainage away from buildings at a gradient of at least 2 percent for a distance of
at least 5 feet, and fiuther maintained by a swale on drainage path at a gradient of at least 1
percent. Where limited by 5-foot side yazds, drainage should be directed away from
foundations for a minimum of 3 feet and into a collector swale or pipe system. Where
necessary, drainage paths may be shortened by use of area drains and collector pipes and/or
paved swales. Eave gutters also help reduce water infiltration into the subgrade soils if the
downspouts aze properly connected to appropriate outlets,
Planters with open bottoms adjacent to buildings should be avoided, if possible. Planters
should not be designed adjacent to buildings uniess provisions for drainage, such as catch
basins and pipe drains, aze made. No ponding of water from any source (including
irrigation) should be pernutted onsite as moisture infiltration may increase the potential for
moisture-related distress. Experience has shown that even with these controls for surface
drainage, a shallow perched ground water or subsurface water condition can and may
develop in areas where no such condition previousiy existed. This is particular(y true where
a substantial increase in surface water infiltration resulting from site irrigation occurs.
Mitigation of these conditions should be performed under the recommendations of the
geotechnical consultant on a case-by-case basis.
' S.9 Graded Slones
It is recommended that all slopes be planted with drought-tolerant, ground wver vegetation
' as soon as practical to protect against erosion by reducing runoff velocity. Deep-rooted
vegetation should also be established to provide resistance to surficial slumping.
Oversteepening of existing slopes should be avoided during fine grading and construction.
' Retaining structures to support graded slopes should be designed with structural
considerations and appropriate soil pazameters provided in Section 5.6.

' S.1p Irriaation. Landscaoina and Lot Maintenance
, Site irrigation should be controlled at ali 6mes. We recommend that only the minimum
amount of irrigation necessary to maintain plant vigor be utilized. For irrigation of trees
1 and shrubs, a dzip irrigation system should be considered. We recommend that where
possible, ]andscaping consist primarily of drought-tolerant vegetation. A landscape
consultant should be contacted for proper plant selection. For large graded slopes adjacent
' to open space areas, we recommend na6ve plant species be ufilized and that irrigation be
uHlized only until plants are well established. At that time, irrigation could be significantly
reduced.

for your review and distribution to future owners and/or owner's associations.
' 5.11 Pg~t-Gradina Geotechnical RPView
' S.11.1 Rouah-Grade Review -- Leighton should be provided the opportunity to review
rough-grading plans to determine areas of needed remedial earthwork. This work
may include removal of recompaction of alluvium and undocumented fill soils as
~ well as the overexcavation of shallow filis or transition cut to fill azeas.
~ 5.11.2 Cpnstruction Review -- Canstruction observation and testing should be
performed by the geotechnical consultant during future excavarions, utility trench
backfilling and foundarion or retaining wall construcrion at the site. Additionally,
' footing excavations should be observed and moisture determination tests of
subgrade soils should be performed by the geotechnical consultant prior to the
pouring of concrete.

' GENERAI NOTES: ~
` Waterproofirn,7 should be provided where moisture nuisance problem thiough the wall is undesirable.
' Water p~ng of [he wa1Ls is not under purview of the geotechNcal engi~mer
'' All drains should have a gradient of i pe¢ent minimum
'Outlet pottlon of ihe stibdrain should have a 4-inch diameter sdid pipe discharged into a witabie disposai area designed by the pfojec[
englneer. The subdrain pipe should be accessble for maintenance (rodding)
~*O[her subdrain backfill opdons are subject to the review by the geotechniol engineer and modification of desig~ parameters.
Notes
1) Sand should have a sand equivalent of 30 or 9reater and may be densified by waFer jetting.
2) 1 Cu. ft. per ft. of 1/4- to 1 1/2anch size gravel wrapped in filter fabric
3) ~ipe typ'e Shaild be A§TM D1527 Acrylonitrile Butadtene Sryrene (A85) SDR35 or ASIM p1785 Pdyvinyl Chlaide pl~tic (PVC), Schedule
40, Armrn A2000 PVC, ot approved equivatent. Pipe should be inAalled with perforddons down. Pedora[ions should be 3/8 inch In
dlamet8r~placCd at the ends of a 120-degree arc in two rows at 3-irxh on center (staggered)
4) ARer fabric should be Mirafi 140NC or approred equivalen[.
5) Weephole should be 3-inch minimum diameter and provided at 10-foot matimum intervals. If e~sure is permitted, weephd~ shouid
be located 12 inches above finished grade. If exposure is not permitted such as fora wall adjacent b a sidewaffc/cuib, a pipe under the '
sidewalk W be discharged through the curb face or equivalent should be provided. For a basernent-type wall, a pmper subd2in outie[
system shouid be provided.
6) Retalning watl plans should 6e reviewed and approved by the geotediniol engineer. ~
7) Walls over six feet in height are subject to a specfal review by [he geotechnical engineer and modifiotions bo the above requirements.

APPENDIX D
Lot Maintenance Guidelines for Owners
110231-028
July 25, 2006
Development areas, in general, and hillside lots, in particulaz, need maintenance to continue to
function and retain their value. Many owners aze unawaze of this and allow deteriorarion of the
property. It is important to familiarize owners with some guidelines for maintenance of their
properties and make them aware of the importance of maintenance.
, Some governing agencies require hillside properry developers to utilize specific methods of
engineering and construction to protect those investing in improved Home Sites or constructed
homes. For example, the developer may be required to grade the property in such a manner that
' rainwater will be drained away from the building/lots and to plant slopes so that erosion will be
minimized. They may also be required to install permanent drains.
' However, once the site is purchased, it is the buyer's responsibility to maintain these safety features
by observing a prudent progam of the property care and maintenance. Failure to make regulaz
inspecfion and maintenance of drainage devices and sloping azeas may cause severe financial loss.
' In addition to their own properiy damage, they may be subject to civil liability for damage occwring
to neighboring properties as a result of his negligence.
' The following maintenance guidelines are provided for the protecfion of the owner's investment.
a) Caze should be taken that slopes, terraces, berms (ridges at crown of slopes) and proper site
' drainage aze not disturbed.
b) In general, roof and yard runoff should be conducted to either the street or storm drain by
nonerosive devices such as sidewalks, drainage pipes, ground gutters, and driveways. Drainage
' systems should not be altered without expert consultation.
c) All drains should be kept cleaned and unclogged, including gutters and downspouts. Terrace
drains or gunite ditches should be kept free of debris to allow proper drainage. During heavy
' rain periods, performance of the drainage system should be inspected. Problems, such as
gullying and ponding, if observed, should be corrected as soon as possible.
' d) Any leakage from pools, water lines, etc. or bypassing of drains should be repaired as soon as
practical.
' e) Animal burrows should be eliminated since they may cause diversion of surface runoff,
promote accelerated erosion, and even trigger shallow soil flowage.
, ~ Slopes should not be altered without expert consultation. Whenever a significant topographic
modificarion of the site or slope, is desired a qualified geotechnical consultant should be
contacted.

'
g) If the owner plans to modify cut or natural slopes aze proposed, an engineering geologist
' should be consulted. Any oversteepening may result in a need for expensive retaining devices.
Undercutting of a to~of-slope would reduce the safety factor of the slope and should not be
undertaken without expert consultation.
, h) If unusual cracking, settling or earth slippage occurs on the property, the owner should consult
a qualified soil engineer or an engineering geologist immediately.
' i) The most common causes of slope erosion and shallow slope failures aze as follows:
•
Crross neglect of the caze and maintenance of the slopes and drainage devices.
, • Inadequate and/or improper planfing. (Barren azeas should be replanted as soon as
ibl
)
poss
e.
• Excessive or insufficient irrigation or diversion of runoff over the slope.
, j) Hillside properiy owners should not let conditions on their property create a problem for their
neighbors. Cooperation with neighbors could prevent problems, promote slope stability,
adequate drainage, proper maintenance, and also increase the aestheric attractiveness of the
' communiry.
k) Owner's should be aware of the chemical wmposirion of impoded soils, soil amendments, and
' fertilizers to be utilized for landscaping purposes. Some soils, soil amendments and fertilizer
can leach soluble sulfates, increasing soluble sulfate wncentrarions to moderate or severe
concentrations, negatively affecting the performance of concrete improvements, including
, foundarions and flatwork.
