Attention: Ms. Tina Mokhtarzadeh, Land Development Manager
Subject: Supplemental Geotechnical Investigation, Tracts 23066-5 and 23067-2,
Redhawk Area, Temecula Region, Riverside County, California
Dear Ms. Mokhtarzadeh:
In accordance with your request, GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) has performed a supplemental
geotechnical investigation of subject site. The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate
if alluvial sediments subject to hydroconsolidation were present and, if so, to assess the
potential for differential settlement at surface grades, in light of the proposed grading, so
that recommendations for mitigative measures could be provided. A secondary purpose
of our investigation was to provide a preliminary liquefaction assessment based on alluvial
engineering properties and laboratory data so that, if warranted, mitigative measures could
be provided. Thirdly, our investigation was performed in order to provide geotechnical
design parameters for foundation and retaining wall- design, as well as earthwork and
grading guidelines, including estimated remedial removal depths.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Based on our field exploration, geologic and geotechnical engineering analysis, it is our
opinion that the project site is suitable for the proposed development from a soils
engineering and geologic viewpoint, provided that the recommendations presented in the
text of this report are implemented. The primary geotechnical concerns with respect to the
proposed development are:
• Hydroconsolidation or settlement of the onsite alluvium may be an issue on some
' lots where complete removal of alluvium was not performed on the adjoining tracts,
and/or where existing improvements (such as EI Chimisal Road) will constrain the
' depth and lateral extent of recommended removals. Recommendations for
mitigative foundation design (including post -tensioned slabs) and construction are
provided herein.

' Our analyses indicate that the additional fill proposed on both sides of EI Chimisal
Road should generate differential settlements of less than 1/2 -inch over a distance
of 40 feet, which should be within tolerable limits typical for existing pipelines within
this street area. Nonetheless, for conservatism, construction of the proposed fills
adjoining EI Chimisal Road will require that removals and fill placement be
performed in such a fashion that the grades, and raising of grades to proposed
design elevations, occur in an equivalent manner on both sides (north and south)
' of EI Chimisal Road, at the same time, so as to not impart an "unbalanced"
condition to underlying soils supporting the existing roadway and associated
pipeline, as a result of differential settlement concerns. Further, it is recommended
that cut-off valves be constructed on each end of the water transmission pipeline,
to facilitate repair, although unlikely, should the line be damaged during
construction. In addition, settlement monuments should be established at a
minimum of four locations along the pipeline in order to evaluate the magnitude of
settlements that actually occur during fill placement.
• Owing to its potentially compressible nature, removal and recompaction of the
colluvium/topsoil covering the bedrock, and most of alluvial soils in the drainages
will be required, if settlement sensitive improvements are proposed in those areas.
' Removal of landslide deposits will also be necessary.
• Expansion index testing indicates site soils have a very low to low expansion
potential; however, soils with medium to perhaps high expansion potential may also
exist onsite.
' Previous laboratory test results indicate that generally the site earth materials have
a negligible sulfate exposure for corrosion to concrete. Test results regarding
sulfate, pH, and potential for corrosion to exposed steel (saturated resistivity), were
not available at the time of this report and will be forwarded to you as an addendum
letter when they are complete. Similarly, R -value testing was also not complete at
the time of this report and will also be included in an addendum letter.
• Our analyses indicate that the portion of the site, adjacent to EI Chimisal Road, and
' located in a broad alluvial drainage, has a very low potential for liquefaction to occur
and manifest itself at the surface. All other portions of the site are not susceptible
to liquefaction, and/or liquefaction potential will be completely eliminated by
standard grading procedures. Therefore, no recommendations for mitigation of
liquefaction are deemed necessary.
• Groundwater was encountered during our investigation generally as perched on the
bedrock (Pauba Formation) in alluvial drainages. Perched groundwater may be
encountered during grading in other areas within the Pauba Formation, and may
occur after site development as a result of precipitation and/or irrigation.

• Settlement values have been presented and should be reviewed by the structural
engineer and incorporated into the design and construction of the proposed
development. It is estimated that the site has a low risk associated with the
potential for dynamic settlements to occur and adversely affect surface
improvements developed on this site, provided our recommendations are
implemented.
• The seismicity acceleration values provided herein should be considered during the
design of the proposed development.
• The geotechnical design parameters provided herein should be considered during
project planning design and construction by the project structural engineer and/or
architects.

' SUPPLEMENTAL GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
TRACTS 23066-5 AND 23067-2, REDHAWK AREA
TEMECULA REGION, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
' SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of our services included the following:
1. Review of readily -available geologic data for the area (Appendix A) including
stereoscopic infra -red "false -color" and black and white aerial photographs.
1 2. Geologic site reconnaissance and mapping.
3. Augmentation of existing near surface information with subsurface exploration
consisting of 16 hollow stem auger borings across the site.
S4. Appropriate laboratory testing of representative soil samples collected during our
subsurface exploration program.
5. Geologic and engineering analysis of the data collected.
6. Preparation of this report presenting our conclusions and recommendations with
respect to geotechnical design criteria and considerations.
BACKGROUND
The site has been investigated previously by Petra Geotechnical, Inc. (Petra). Site
conditions have generally not changed since the issuance of Petra (1998). The reader is
referred to that report for a discussion of site geotechnical conditions, regional and site
geology, and faulting and seismicity. GSI has reviewed Petra (1998) and is in general
agreement with their conclusions and recommendations, except as discussed in this
report. Unless specifically superceded herein, the conclusions and recommendations
contained in Petra.(1998) remain pertinent and applicable, and should be appropriately
implemented.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
' It is our understanding that Tract 23066-5 and 23067-2 are proposed to be developed with
about 90 and 119 single-family residential dwellings, respectively, with open space,
associated interior roadways and underground utility improvements. We also understand
that the proposed buildings would consist of one- or two-story structures, with shallow
foundations, utilizing wood -frame, masonry -block, or the tilt -up type of construction.
' Building loads are assumed to be typical for this type of relatively light construction.
Sewage disposal is understood to be accommodated by tying into the regional municipal
system.

Typical cut and fill grading techniques would be required to develop the site in order to
achieve design grades. Cut and fill slopes ranging in height up to ±30 feet and ±40 feet
high, respectively, are proposed at inclinations of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter in
Tract 23066-5. With Tract 23067-2, cut and fill slopes ranging in height up to ±65 feet and
±55 feet high, respectively, are proposed at inclinations of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) or
flatter. Minor fill -over -cut slopes are proposed in both tracts.
FIELD STUDIES
Field studies conducted during our investigation consisted of the following:
1. Geologic reconnaissance and mapping.
2. Excavation of 16 hollow stem auger borings to evaluate the near surface and
deeper soil and geologic conditions.
The borings were logged by a geologist from our firm who collected representative bulk
and undisturbed samples for appropriate laboratory testing. Logs of the borings are
presented in Appendix B. The approximate locations of the borings as well as pertinent
previous explorations, are presented on Plates 1 through 7.
MASS WASTING
Mass wasting refers to the various processes by which earth materials are moved
downslope in response to the force of gravity. Examples of these processes include slope
creep, surficial failures, and landslide deposits. During field work in preparation of Petra
(1989), a shallow landslide deposit was identified in the vicinity of proposed Lots 23
through 25 and 31 though 33. Supplemental work presented in Petra (1998) suggests
that this "ancient' highly eroded deposit is similar to colluvial deposits located throughout
the site. Based on the information provided by Petra (1989, 1998) and our own field
observations, the landslide deposit identified in Petra (1989) is likely a relict feature, not
indicative of existing slope instability, or a relatively thick colluvial deposit. This deposit
should be removed during site grading and should not adversely affect site development.
In general, natural slopes are to be left in place during grading, and may be subject to near
surface creep, minor "pop outs," and erosion. These processes are considered to be
typical to all sloping ground surfaces and the site is considered to be at no greater risk
than any other adjacent property in the vicinity. Recommendations are provided herein
and in Petra (1998) for the mitigation of the potential effects of these processes in the
future.

REGIONAL SEISMICITY
The acceleration -attenuation relations of Joyner and Boore (1982) and Campbell and
Bozorgnia (1994) has been incorporated into EQFAULT (Blake, 1997). For this study, peak
horizontal ground accelerations anticipated at the site were determined based on the
random mean attenuation curves developed by Joyner and Boore (1982) and Campbell
(1994). These acceleration -attenuation relations have been incorporated in EQFAULT, a
computer program by Thomas F. Blake (1997), which performs deterministic seismic
hazard analyses using up to 150 digitized California faults as earthquake sources. The
program estimates the closest distance between each fault and a user-specified file. If a
fault is found to be within a user -selected radius, the program estimates peak horizontal
ground acceleration that may occur at the site from the upper bound ("maximum credible")
and "maximum probable" earthquakes on that fault.
Site acceleration (g) is computed by any of the 14 user -selected acceleration -attenuation
relations that are contained in EQFAULT. Based on the above, peak horizontal ground
accelerations from the upper bound (maximum credible) event may be on the order of
0.67g to 1.24g, and a maximum probable event may be on the order of 0.60g to 0.77g.
Historical site seismicity was evaluated utilizing the computer program EQSEARCH
(Blake, 1997). This program performs a search of historical earthquake records, for
magnitude 4.0 to magnitude 9.0 within a specified radius (e.g., 100 miles), between the
years 1800 through June of 1998. Based on the selected acceleration -attenuation relation,
a peak horizontal ground acceleration is estimated, which may have affected the site
during the specific seismic event listed. In addition, site specific probability of exceeding
various peak horizontal ground accelerations and seismic recurrence curves are also
estimated/generated from the historical data. The maximum repeatable horizontal
' acceleration experienced by the site during the period of 1800 to 1998 was found to be
about 0.13g corresponding to an earthquake of about M6.8 approximately 19 miles away,
that occurred on April 21, 1918. An approximate M7.6 earthquake subjected the site to
' horizontal acceleration of about 0.06 g on June 28, 1992, and was located about 55 miles
from the site.
�I
I
A probabilistic seismic hazards analyses was also performed using FRISK89 (Blake, 1997),
which models earthquake sources as lines and evaluates the site specific probabilities.
Printouts of pertinent portions generated from EQFAULT, EQSEARCH and FRISK89 are
included in Appendix C. Based on a review of these data and considering the relative
seismic activity of the southern California region, a repeatable ground acceleration of 0.28g
was selected for use in our evaluation. This value was considered as it corresponds to a
10 percent probability of exceedance in 50 years (or a 475 year return period). Selection
of this design event is important as it is the level of risk assumed by the Uniform Building
Code minimum design requirements. This level of ground shaking corresponds to a
Richter magnitude event of about 6.8.

WATER AND GROUNDWATER
Groundwater Withdrawal
It is our understanding that no deep, regional aquifer -penetrating production wells are
planned for the site. The potential for subsidence to occur onsite from groundwater
withdrawal is considered low, based on the fact that the Pauba Formation (bedrock) either
crops out onsite or immediately underlies the alluvial or colluvial filled swales.
Groundwater Rise
As documented in the nearby Murrieta area, and noted locally in Temecula, rise of
groundwater levels may cause hydroconsolidation of previously unsaturated alluvial or
colluvial sediments. Groundwater rise is most likely caused primarily by urban irrigation
from up -gradient development and, secondly, from rainfall infiltration, a reduction in
permeability of subsurface materials, or a decrease in evapotranspiration. A rapid rise in
groundwater levels is a phenomenon that cannot be discounted. Accordingly, we have
analyzed the potential for site alluvial or colluvial soil hydroconsolidation and resulting
differential surface settlement in the event of groundwater rise.
Surface
Surface water affecting the site is primarily limited to precipitation. Runoff water from
seasonal storm, which is not retained by either vegetation of soil, moves downslope via
sheetwash, rills, and gullies into the canyons which transect the property. Surface water
gathered in these canyons eventually flows to Temecula Creek. Most site canyons have

intermittent stream flow, with surface water present only during or shortly after seasonal
storms. Site development will require provisions for adequate control and disposal of
surface water.
Subsurface
Groundwater was not encountered during our subsurface investigation. Wells in the
vicinity are apparently producing from various perched aquifers at depths. The regional
groundwater gradient is generally down toward the north-northwest, and generally
parallels the regional topography. Perched groundwater may occur where relatively
impermeable soils underlie relatively permeable soils. Such conditions may be
encountered onsite.
These observations reflect site conditions at the time of our investigation and do not
preclude changes in local groundwater conditions in the future from heavy irrigation,
precipitation, or other factors not obvious at the time of our field work. Additional
discussions of groundwater are presented within the conclusions section of this report.
SECONDARY SEISMIC HAZARDS
Liquefaction
Liquefaction describes a phenomenon in which cyclic stresses produced by earthquake
induced ground motion, create excess pore pressures in relatively cohesionless soils.
These soils may thereby acquire a high degree of mobility, which can lead to lateral
movement, sliding, consolidation of loose sediments, sand boils, and other damaging
deformations. This phenomenon occurs primarily below the water table, but after
liquefaction has developed, it can propagate upward into overlying, non -saturated soil, as
excess pore water dissipates.
Liquefaction susceptibility is related to numerous factors and the following conditions
should exist for liquefaction to occur: 1) sediments are relatively young in age and have
not developed cementation; 2) sediments consist mainly of medium to fine grained
relatively cohesionless sands; 3) the sediments have low relative density; 4) free
groundwater is present in the sediments; and 5) the site experiences a seismic event of
sufficient duration and large enough magnitude to induce straining of soil particles.
One of the primary factors controlling the potential for liquefaction is depth to groundwater.
' Liquefaction susceptibility generally decreases as the groundwater depth increases for two
reasons: 1) the deeper the water table, the greater the normal effective stress acting on
' saturated sediments; and 2) age, cementation, and relative density of sediments generally
increase with depth. Thus, as depth to the water table increases, and as the saturated
sediments become older, more cemented, have higher relative density, and confining

■ normal stress increases; the less likely they are to liquefy during a seismic event. Typically,
liquefaction has a relatively low potential when groundwater is greater than 30 feet, and
' liquefaction is unlikely at 60± feet or more below the ground surface.
Following a review of the laboratory data and boring logs, soil profiles were established to
' evaluate the potential for liquefaction to occur in the subsurface soils, after remedial
removals. The soil profiles were constructed using worst case scenarios in borings B-1,
and B-4 as information bases. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) blow counts were
modified as appropriate based on a review of the grain -size distribution (fines), densities
(normal confining pressures) and assumed water level. The soil profiles established are,
in our opinion, representative of existing subsurface site conditions for these portions of
the site. The regional groundwater table was not encountered in our borings. For the
purpose of our liquefaction analysis, groundwater was assumed to be 10 feet below the
existing ground surface. If groundwater were to be present; it would likely be well below
this assumed level and therefore decrease the potential for liquefaction.
CJ
The "Regional Seismicity" section of this report presents the seismic shaking that would be
most likely to produce strong ground motion at the site. Within Appendix C, probabilistic,
and historic site specific seismic parameters are presented. Based on a review of this data
and considering the relative seismic activity of the southern California region, a ground
acceleration of 0.28g was selected for use in the liquefaction analyses. A review of these
analyses indicates that all soil layers display a 1.25 or greater factor of safety against
liquefaction (note: a safety factor of 1.25 is recommended by Seed and Idriss, 1982),
except one layer within boring B-1, at a depth of 193/4 to 273/4 feet (8 feet thick), and boring
B-4 as a depth of 201/4 to 301/4 feet, below existing grade. See Appendix C for the results
of the computer generated analyses of borings B-1 and B-4 using Liquefy 2 (Blake, 1986).
As indicated above, these zones do not correlate from boring to boring and appear to be
vertically and laterally discontinuous, moderately thick beds of sands. Accordingly, it is our
opinion that the potential for liquefaction to occur at the EI Chimisal Road area of the site
and manifest itself at the surface is very low, even if the groundwater should rise to the 10
foot level. Elsewhere, site sediments are not susceptible to liquefaction, and/or liquefaction
potential will be completely eliminated by standard grading procedures. Therefore, no
mitigation for liquefaction is deemed necessary at this time.
Liquefaction and Dynamic Settlement Summary
A summary of the potential for liquefaction and/or dynamic settlements to adversely affect
improvements to the site is presented below. In addition, design criteria is presented for
the project engineers to consider during structural/civil site design, planning and
improvement construction.
The maximum thickness of any liquefiable soil layer (Factor of Safety less than 1.25)
identified in our analyses was 11 feet. Using the relationships generated by Ishihara

(1985), and maximum liquefiable zone thickness of 11 feet, adverse surface effects from
liquefaction would not be anticipated if a minimum non -liquefiable confining layer thickness
of approximately 9 feet is maintained, such as is planned at the subject site. Site
preparation in alluvial areas to remain after grading will include recommendations
(presented in a later section) to assure that this minimum thickness will be provided below
settlement sensitive structures. Due to the depth of the layer that is susceptible (more than
25 feet), we conclude that the potential for manifestation of liquefaction at the surface is
low.
An analysis of the magnitude of dynamic settlement that could occur during a 10 percent
probability seismic event (i.e., 0.28g) was performed. The results of that analysis indicates
that angular distortions of 1 in 950 could occur. The project structural engineer should
consider this level of foundation system distortion in their structural analysis.
It is important to keep in perspective that in the event of maximum probable or credible
earthquakes occurring on any of the nearby major faults, strong ground shaking would
occur in this general area. Considering the subsurface soil conditions and site seismicity,
it is estimated that the site has a low risk associated with the potential for dynamic
settlements to occur and adversely affect surface improvements developed on this site.
AREAL SUBSIDENCE
Our review of readily available data indicates that the site is not subsiding due to down -
faulting along a bordering fault zone, and is probably not subsiding due to groundwater
withdrawal. The scope of this potential for affecting the subject site is beyond the scope
of this current study. However, areal subsidence generally occurs at the transition/slope
condition between materials of substantially different engineering properties. Thus, the
only potential for this condition exists between the bedrock and alluvium. Based on the
available data, the bedrock underlies all of the alluvium at depth; therefore, this potential
is considered low. Our review of available stereoscopic aerial photographs showed no
features generally associated with areal subsidence (i.e., radially -directed drainages
flowing into a depression(s), linearity of depressions associated with mountain fronts, etc.).
Ground fissures are generally associated with excessive groundwater withdrawal and
associated subsidence, or active faults, and active faults are not known to transect the
property. In addition, our review did not indicate that excessive groundwater withdrawal
in the site vicinity is occurring at this time.

' GEOLOGIC DEVELOPMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
' Evidence for significant active debris flows that may impact the subject development was
not noted on the property and in our review of aerial photographs. However, the potential
' for significant debris flows within natural swales is considered low to perhaps moderate
under present soil cover, vegetation and annual precipitation conditions for several areas
on the natural slopes.
' In consideration of the potential for prolonged rainfall, possible brush fires and vegetation
denudation, we recommend that the project civil engineer consider using
' debris/desilting/detention basins and/or debris impact walls with sufficient freeboard in
those areas where swales or significant hillside gully areas intersect the proposed
development, if applicable. Although unlikely, additional walls may be necessary based
' on conditions disclosed during grading.
The potential for surface flooding, although considered low, cannot be entirely precluded.
Hence, this should be further evaluated by the design engineer. The western portions of
the site and areas at the base of the natural swales should be reviewed. The design
' parameters for the debris walls and impact walls are provided in the retaining wall section
of this report. The design civil engineer should size the debris walls using the tributary
area and assuming a soil to water value of 0.3 to impact the wall.
' Debris catchment or deflection devices should be designed by the project civil engineer
and constructed to mitigate the mudflow debris potential. The proposed mitigation can be
' constructed using earthen berms or masonry walls which should be designed for an
equivalent fluid pressure of 125 pcf (Hollingsworth and Kovacs, 1981) and have a minimum
of 5 feet of freeboard, a paved "V" -ditch, and a catchment/storage area base width suitable
for equipment egress for removal of accumulated debris. Deflection devices should have
such a flow line gradient as to be considered self clearing, to allow for the continued
transport of the debris along the device to a location for removal.
Ground Surface Amplification
Based on findings from the Loma Prieta earthquake, soft soil sites may amplify bedrock
motions under strong seismic shaking (Mitchell and others, 1990). In certain cases, deep
soft soil deposits have exhibited stronger surface shaking (greater acceleration) and longer
periods than those of rock or rock overlain by stiff soil layers (Mitchell and others, 1990).
Previous studies of similar soil profiles subject to strong ground shaking have indicated
' amplifications of peak accelerations (on rock) by factors of 2 to 6. Data computed directly
using relations by Seed and Idriss and recorded during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake
indicated that for soft soil sites, ground accelerations tended to be higher (above two
' standard deviations from the mean) than other stiff soil or rock sites for the same distance
from the epicenter (Housner, 1990).

' The horizontal shaking force that will be transmitted to the shallow foundations on this site
will be directly related to the surface acceleration. If amplified, the horizontal acceleration
' could increase the horizontal shaking force. Based on the available preliminary subsurface
and seismic data, the potential exists for this phenomenon to be experienced in the deeper
' subsurface materials. This condition will be mitigated by the following foundation/footing
recommendations presented herein.
If determined by the project structural engineer that the predicted settlements could
compromise the structural integrity of the foundation system or superimposed structure,
alternative remedial recommendations should be sought from this office.
' Other Geologic Constraints Considered
The following list includes other pertinent potential seismic related hazards that have been
evaluated for the site. Based on review of previous reports and published data (Kennedy,
1977), it is our opinion the potential for these hazards to affect the site is negligible.
• Surface fault rupture
• Ground lurching or shallow ground rupture

' CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our field exploration, laboratory testing, and our engineering and geologic
' analyses, it is our opinion that the project site is suited for the proposed use from a soils
and geologic viewpoint. Geotechnical developmental considerations include thick
compressible alluvium, fill underlain by compressible alluvium on the tract margins (i.e.,
' such materials cannot be completely removed), and associated differential settlement
concerns. Owing to the above, some lots will require post -tensioned slabs. The
recommendations presented previously and below should be incorporated in the design,
' grading, and construction considerations.
General
' 1. Soils engineering and compaction testing services should be provided during
grading to aid the contractor in removing unsuitable soils and in his effort to
compact the fill.
2. Geologic inspections should be performed during grading to verify and/or further
evaluate geologic conditions. Although unlikely, if adverse geologic structures are
encountered, supplemental recommendations and earthwork may be warranted.
' 3. Groundwater is not expected to be a major factor in development of the site.
However, caving and sloughing may be a factor in all subsurface excavations and
' trenching. All excavations should be performed in accordance with OSHA
standards. Seeps and seasonal saturated soil zones not encountered at the time
of our field work may be present and contingency for this condition should be
' considered.

' 4. It appears that moderate to very difficult ripping should be anticipated for most of
the bedrock rock within the site. Blasting is not anticipated, however. Oversized
rock materials may be encountered during grading; such materials would likely
' require special handling methods during site development. Disposal methods
might include approved rock blankets, windrowing, burial in pits, or other
acceptable methods. If feasible, crushing oversized materials or exporting to an
' offsite location may also be considered.
5. Due to the nature of some of the onsite materials as well as long term drying of
cohesion materials, some caving and sloughing may be anticipated to be a factor
in subsurface excavations and trenching. Therefore, current local and state/federal
safety ordinances for subsurface trenching and other excavations should be
implemented.
' 6. Experience from past grading of tracts in similar bedrock terrain indicates that
conventional earthmoving equipment should be able to excavate most, if not all,
bedrock materials within planned excavation areas.
' 7. The soil and bedrock materials encountered throughout the site are expected to
generally range from very low to low, to possibly medium to highly expansive, and
' have low sulfate contents. Accordingly, the use of sulfate resistant concrete (Type
V) is not warranted, based on the data to date. Additional testing of earth materials
and review of laboratory results, when available, by a corrosion consultant should
be considered.
' 8. Stabilization is not anticipated on proposed cut slopes, however, this should be
further evaluated during grading, based on conditions disclosed during grading.
' 9. If applicable, where gully or swale areas intercept the proposed development, we
recommend that the project civil engineer consider using debris/desilting/detention
basins and/or debris impact walls with sufficient freeboard in those areas, in order
' to mitigate potential debris flows. Previous and subsequent recommendations in
this report should be followed and reviewed during grading and final plan
preparation.
' 10. At the time of preparation of this report, the proposed finish pad grades, locations
of any structures, types of structures, and loading were of a preliminary nature. The
recommendations presented below should be reviewed and revised, if necessary,
by the project soils engineer and geologist when grading plans become available
prior to the start of grading. General Earthwork and Grading Guidelines are
' provided at the end of this report as Appendix E. Specific recommendations are
provided below.

' Demolition/Grubbing
1. Existing shrubs and any miscellaneous construction materials and debris should be
removed from the site. Existing stockpiles, if remaining, may be used as fill,
provided that concentrations of vegetation, trash, and miscellaneous debris or
' oversized boulders are removed prior to fill placement, and the remaining earth
materials adhere to the guidelines provided herein.
' 2. Any previous foundations, or remnants of foundations, appurtenant structures, and
improvements, cesspools, septic tanks, leach fields, or other subsurface structures
uncovered Le, during the recommended removal and recompaction work should
' be observed by GeoSoils, Inc. so that appropriate remedial recommendations can
be provided during grading.
F
1
3. Cavities, loose soils, soft soils (including all geotechnical/geologic exploratory test
pits and trenches) remaining after demolition and site clearance should be cleaned
out, inspected by the soils engineer, processed, and replaced with fill which has
been moisture conditioned to at least optimum moisture content and compacted
to at least 90 percent of the laboratory standard.
Treatment of Existing Ground
1. All existing undocumented fill on the site should be removed in areas planned for
development. Additionally, the slide debris, colluvium, and surficial alluvium should
be removed and recompacted. These materials may be re -used as engineered fill.
For planning purposes this depth is shown as spot depths of estimated removal
depths on Plates 1 through 7. The depth of removals should be further evaluated
during grading by the soils engineer.
2. Subsequent to the above recompaction in areas designated as removals, the
exposed subsoils should be brought to at least optimum moisture content, then
compacted to obtain a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent of the laboratory
standard to a depth of 12 inches.
3. Existing fill and removal materials may be reused as compacted fill provided that
major concentrations of topsoil, vegetation, oversized material and debris are
removed prior to fill placement.
4. Where cuts in the slide debris, colluvium, or alluvium are equal to or greater than
the recommended removals depths shown on the Plates, the areas should be cut
to grade, documented by the geotechnical consultant, then the upper 12 inches
below finish grade should be scarified, brought to at least optimum moisture
content, and recompacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent of the
laboratory standard.

5. Where the proposed cuts in the slide debris, colluvium, or alluvium are less than the
recommended removal depths shown on the Plates, the areas should be cut to
grade, then the final surface should be removed and/or scarified to an additional
depth of 12 inches, or the recommended removal depth shown on Plate 1 minus
the amount of the cut, whichever is greater.
6. Localized deeper removal may be necessary due to buried drainage channel
meanders or dry porous materials. The project soils engineer/geologist should
observe all removal areas during the grading.
Fill Placement
Fill materials should be brought to at least optimum moisture, placed in thin, 6- to
8 -inch lifts and mechanically compacted to obtain a minimum relative compaction
of 90 percent of the laboratory standard.
2. Fill materials should be cleansed of major vegetation and debris prior to placement.
3. Any oversized rock materials greater than 12 inches in diameter should be placed
under the recommendations and supervision of the soils engineer.
4. Any import materials should be inspected and determined suitable by the soils
engineer prior to import or placement on the site.
5. Efforts should be made to keep expansive soils lower than 3 feet from finish grades.
' EI Chimisal Road
' Our analyses indicate that the additional fill proposed on both sides of EI Chimisal Road
should generate differential settlements of less than 1/2 -inch over a distance of 40 feet,
' which should be within tolerable limits typical for such pipelines. Nonetheless, for
conservatism, construction of the proposed fills adjoining EI Chimisal Road will require that
removals and fill placement be performed in such a fashion that the grades, and raising of
' grades to proposed design elevations, occur in an equivalent manner on both sides (north
and south) of EI Chimisal Road, at the same time, so as to not impart an "unbalanced"
condition to underlying soils supporting the existing roadway and associated pipeline, as
a result of differential settlement concerns. Further, it is recommended that cut-off valves
be constructed on each end of the water transmission pipeline, to facilitate repair, although
unlikely, should the line be damaged during construction. In addition, settlement
' monuments should be established at a minimum of four locations along the pipeline in
order to evaluate the magnitude of settlements that actually occur during fill placement.

' Cut Areas
' All proposed cut areas, including building pads and slopes should be inspected and
approved by the geologist prior to finishing. Upon inspection, the geologist would
determine if any remedial grading is necessary.
Subsurface and Surface Water
I
CJI
Subsurface and surface waters, as discussed previously, are generally not anticipated to
affect site development, provided that the recommendations contained in this report are
incorporated into final design and construction and that prudent surface and subsurface
drainage practices are incorporated into the construction plans. Perched groundwater
conditions along fill/bedrock contacts and along zones of contrasting permeabilities may
not be precluded from occurring in the future due to site irrigation, poor drainage
conditions, or damaged utilities. Should perched groundwater conditions develop, this
office could assess the affected area(s) and provide the appropriate recommendations to
mitigate the observed groundwater conditions.
The groundwater conditions observed and opinions generated were those at the time of
' our evaluation. Conditions may change with the introduction of irrigation, rainfall, or other
factors that were not obvious at the time of our evaluation.

Subdrains
Local seepage along the contact between the bedrock and overburden materials or along
jointing patterns of the bedrock may occur. Accordingly, subdrains are recommended.
The actual location of subdrains will be provided in the field, however, preliminary locations
are shown on Plates 1 through 7.
Where removals are below the subdrain flowline, the removal materials may be reused as
compacted fill provided they are granular, and at a moisture content of at least 2 percent
over optimum moisture content (or 1.2 times optimum moisture content, whichever is
greater).
Based upon the field conditions and proximity of storm drain or drainage structures,
subdrains may be placed and their outlets tied directly into the storm drain system or other
suitable outlets. Actual locations of subdrains will be provided during grading, based on
exposed conditions, however, subdrains may be anticipated in all canyon areas. Subdrain
details are provided in Appendix E. The project civil engineer should locate and map the
subdrain and the outlet systems during grading. The slope of the subdrains is suggested
as 1 to 2 percent minimum.
If the subdrains tie into the storm drain system, due to the relatively low flow anticipated
for the subdrains, backflow preventers should be installed at the storm drain/subdrain tie -

' in. If allowed to daylight above grade, animal screens should be provided. Subdrain
clean -outs should be considered, based on conditions encountered during grading.
' Slope Design
Fill slopes should be designed at a 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) gradients or flatter and
should not exceed about ±55 feet in height. Fill slopes should be constructed in
accordance with recommendations provided herein and county and city
' ordinances. and compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent
throughout, including the slope surfaces. Guidelines for slope construction are
presented in Appendix E.
2. Cut slopes should be designed at 2:1 or flatter in any onsite material to the
maximum proposed height of about ±65 feet. While instability of these slopes
during construction or afterward is not anticipated, adverse geologic conditions may
be encountered which may require remedial grading or laying back of the slope to
' an angle flatter than the adverse geologic condition.
3. Local areas of highly to severely weathered bedrock or non -cohesive sands may be
' present. Should these materials be exposed in cut slopes, the potential for long
term maintenance or possible slope failure exists. Evaluation of cut slopes during
grading would be necessary in order to identify any areas of severely weathered
' rock or non -cohesive sands. Should any these materials be exposed during
construction, the soils engineer/geologist, would access the magnitude and extent
of the materials and their potential affect on long term maintenance or possible
' slope failures. Recommendations would then be made at the time of the field
inspection.
' 4. Loose rock debris and fines remaining on the face of the cut slopes should be
removed during grading. This can be accomplished by high-pressure water
washing or by hand scaling, as warranted.
' 5. Where loose materials are exposed on the cut slopes, the project's engineering
geologist would require that the slope be cleaned as described above prior to
making their final observations. Final approval of the cut slope can only be made
subsequent to the slope being fully cut and cleaned.
6. The design engineer should consider utilizing brow ditches, debris/retention basins,
rip rap, debris walls and/or other measures or devices at the top or toe of the
' proposed cut slopes to mitigate potential debris flows that may originate in swales
that intercept the slopes. These devices may need to be maintained periodically,
and this should be considered during project planning.

7. Cut slopes should be mapped by the project engineering geologist during grading
to allow amendments to the recommendations should exposed conditions warrant
alternation of the design. The contractor should allow for sufficient time during
grading to allow for the mapping of slope back -cuts.
Temporary Construction Slopes
Due to the conditions expected to be encountered during rough grading, it is anticipated
that temporary construction slopes, backcuts, false slopes, haul roads, and other
temporary conditions will be constructed at a minimum slope ration of 1:1 (horizontal to
vertical) or flatter. Excavations for removals, drainage devices, debris basins, and other
localized conditions should be evaluated on an individual basis by the soils engineer and
engineering geologist for variance from this recommendation. Due to the nature of the
materials anticipated, the engineering geologist should observe all excavations and fill
conditions. The geotechnical engineer should be notified of all proposed temporary
construction cuts, and upon review, appropriate recommendations should be presented.
Front cuts may also be cut at a 1:1 slope gradient.
The possible instability of temporary cut slopes during excavation, or canyon clean-out,
cannot be precluded, and should be emphasized to the grading contractor. The
temporary stability depends on many factors, including the slope angle, structural features
in the bedrock, shearing strength along planes of weakness, height of the slope
groundwater conditions, and the length of time the cut remains unsupported and exposed
to equipment vibrations and rainfall.
The possibility of temporary cut slopes failing during canyon clean -outs, excavations, etc.,
may be reduced by:
1. Minimizing the operations extent in both duration and physical dimensions.
2. Limiting the length of a cut exposed to destabilizing forces at any one time.
3. Cutting no steeper than those backcut inclinations specified by the
geotechnical consultant.
4. Avoiding operation of heavy equipment or stockpiling materials on or near the
top of the backcut or trench. All OSHA requirements with regard to
excavation safety should be implemented by the grading contractor.
5. Provide temporary drainage and diversion barriers for the grading work to
reduce the potential for ponding and erosion.

Transition Lots
In order to establish a uniform subgrade beneath the proposed foundations or materials
of differing expansion potential, the cut portions of the cut/fill transition lots should be
overexcavated a minimum of 3 feet and replaced with compacted fill. Prior to replacing the
overexcavated area with compacted fill, the exposed subsoils/bedrock should be well
scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches, brought to at least optimum moisture content,
and compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent of the laboratory standard.
Due to the steep natural slopes and possible saturated soils within the tributary canyons,
or where the ultimate fill depth is substantial, the overexcavation may need to be increased
to a depth of at least 5 to 10 feet, or to a ratio of 3:1 (maximum to minimum fill thickness)
across the individual lots. This recommendation is provided to mitigate the possible
adverse effects due to deep fills on only a portion of a particular lot and/or building pad.
Actual overexcavation depths should be provided during grading, based on the conditions
disclosed during removals of unsuitable materials.
Due to the condition of the outer portions of the existing embankments descending to the
site and the potential for significant settlement, overexcavation of these areas will be
required. Prior to placing any fill at the bases of the existing graded slopes, a minimum 1:1
backcut from the existing embankments should be excavated. The backcuts should
commence at the top of the existing slopes. Normal benching should be maintained in the
backcut while fill placement progresses. Since these fills are likely compacted engineered
fills, future differential settlements, provided GSI's recommendations are followed, are
anticipated to be within the limits of standard design recommendations for Post -Tensioned
slabs in this area.
Earthwork Balance
The volume change of excavated materials upon compaction as engineered fill will vary
with material type an location. It is anticipated that the alluvial materials will subside
approximately 0. 15 to 0.20 feet due to the static and dynamic loading conditions imposed
by earthwork equipment. The earthwork shrinkage/bulking factors for removed material
may be approximated by using the following parameters:
Artificial fill ......................................... 15% to 20% shrinkage
Colluvium ............................................ 15% to 20% shrinkage
Alluvium and Older Alluvium ............................. 10% to 15% shrinkage
Slice Debris ............................................ 0% to 5% shrinkage
Pauba Formation ....................... 0% to 5% bulking to 0% to 5% shrinkage
The above factors are based on in-situ density testing performed during the field
exploration phase of our evaluation.

Grading Settlements
' GSI has estimated the potential magnitudes of total settlement, differential settlement, and
angular distortion. The analyses were based on the laboratory test results from borings
near the affected portions of the site. Laboratory data (Appendix D) were also reviewed
' for the evaluation of the site settlement potential.
' Ground settlement should be anticipated due to primary consolidation and secondary
compression of the left -in-place older alluvium as will occur on portions of the site. The
total amount of settlement and time over which it occurs is dependent upon various
t factors, including material type, depth of fill, depth of removals, initial and final moisture
content, and in-place density of subsurface materials. Compacted fills, to the heights
anticipated, are not generally prone to excessive settlement (on the order of 1 to 21/4
inches). However, some post -construction settlement of the left -in-place alluvium is
expected and the majority of this settlement is anticipated to occur within several months
to as much as 1 ± year following grading. The total settlement that occurs after this time
' is anticipated to be within acceptable limits (on the order of 2± inches). This settlement
will be monitored and revised based on actual field data. The number and locations of the
settlement movements will be provided in the field.

I
Angular distortions were evaluated by assuming that the narrowest portion of a potentially
affected structure as 40 feet. Another factor controlling angular distortion was underlying
geologic conditions (e.g., cut/fill transitions, sloping bedrock contacts). We have assumed
that the multi -family, single-family, or commercial structure would be constructed within a
zone setback 20 feet from the top or toe of slopes, but no further back than 80 feet, and
that the side yard setbacks would be 5 feet. If, however, underlying geologic conditions
control angular distortions, the estimates will need to be reviewed and possibly revised
based on the specific dimensions and locations of an individual structure. An estimation
of potential settlements and angular distortions for the affected lots is presented later within
the 'Post -tensioned Slab Design" section of this report. .
Mitigation of grading settlements may include a combination of:
1. Decreasing the slope of the cut/fill transition under building areas
2. Using either post -tensioned slabs, mat foundation or drilled piers
3. Monitoring fill settlements during and 90- days after construction (minimum)
using monuments installed in accordance with Appendix E.

PRELIMINARY FOUNDATION DESIGN
Bearing Value
1. An allowable soil bearing pressure of 1,500 pounds per square foot may be used
for the design of continuous footings 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep. This
value may be increased by 20% (per code) 200 lbs./sq. ft. for each additional 12
inches in depth to a maximum value of 2,500 lbs./sq. ft. The upper 6 inches should
be excluded from the embedment due to the effects of landscaping.
2. The bearing pressure may be increased by one-third for seismic or other temporary
loads.
Lateral Pressure
1. For lateral sliding resistance, a 0.30 coefficient of friction may be utilized for a
concrete to soil contact when multiplied by the dead load.
2. Passive earth pressure may be computed as an equivalent fluid having a density of
225 pounds per cubic foot with a maximum earth pressure of 2,500 pounds per
square foot.
3. When combining passive pressure and frictional resistance, the passive pressure
component should be reduced by one-third.
4. All footings should maintain a minimum 7 foot horizontal distance the base of the
footing and any adjacent descending slope, and minimally comply with the
guidelines depicted in the latest edition of the UBC, (slope finish grade away from
foundations 1 to 2%).
FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION
The following foundation construction recommendations are presented as a minimum
criteria from a soils engineering standpoint. The onsite soils expansion potentials are
generally in the very low to low range (expansion index 0 to 50), however, soils in the
medium or possibly high range (expansion index 51 to 90, and 91 to 130, respectively)

Mmay also be present onsite. It is anticipated that soils with a very low to low expansion
potential will be the predominate soil type exposed during site grading.
Accordingly, the following foundation construction recommendations assume that the soils
in the top 3 feet of finish grade will have a very low to low or medium expansion potential,
M for planning and design considerations. Recommendations by the project's design -
structural engineer or architect, which may exceed the soils engineer's recommendations,
should take precedence over the following minimum requirements. Final foundation
design will be provided based on the expansion potential of the near surface soils
encountered during grading.
Conventional Foundations
Very Low to Low Expansion Potential (Expansion Index 0 to 50)
1. Exterior and interior footings should be founded at a minimum depth of 12 inches
for one-story loads, and 18 inches below the lowest adjacent ground surface for
two-story loads. All footings should be reinforced with two No. 4 reinforcing bars,
one placed near the top and one placed near the bottom of the footing. Footing
widths should be as indicated in the Uniform Building Code (International
Conference of Building Officials, 1997).
2. A grade beam, reinforced as above, and at least 12 inches wide should be provided
across large (e.g. doorways) entrances. The base of the grade beam should be at
the same elevation as the bottom of adjoining footings.
3. Concrete slabs, where moisture condensation is undesirable, should be underlain
with a vapor barrier consisting of a minimum of 6 mil polyvinyl chloride or equivalent
membrane with all laps sealed. This membrane should be covered above and
below with a minimum of 2 inches of sand (total of 4 inches) to aid in uniform curing
of the concrete and to protect the membrane from puncture.
4. Concrete slabs should be a minimum of 4 inches thick, and should be reinforced
with 6 inch by 6 inch, No. 10 by No. 10 (6x6 - W1.4 x W1.4) welded -wire mesh or
No. 3 reinforcing bar at 24 inches on center. If welded wire mesh is selected, No.
3 reinforcing bar at 24 inches on center should be doweled between the exterior
footing and 3 feet into the slab. All slab reinforcement should be supported to
ensure placement near the vertical midpoint of the concrete. "Hooking" the wire
mesh is not considered an acceptable method of positioning the reinforcement.
5. Garage slabs should be reinforced as above and poured separately from the
structural footings and quartered with expansion joints or saw cuts. A positive
separation from the footings should be maintained with expansion joint material to
permit relative movement.

6. Presaturation is not required for these soil conditions. The moisture content of the
subgrade soils should be equal to or greater than optimum moisture content in the
slab areas. Prior to placing visqueen or reinforcement, soil moisture content should
be verified by this office within 72 hours of pouring slabs.
Medium Expansion Potential (Expansion Index 51 to 90)
1. Exterior and interior footings should be founded at a minimum depth of 18 inches
for one-story loads, and 24 inches below the lowest adjacent ground surface for
two-story loads. All footings should be reinforced with two No. 4 reinforcing bars,
one placed near the top and one placed near the bottom of the footing. Footing

with 6 inch by 6 inch, No. 6 by No. 6 (6x6 - W2.9 x W2.9) welded -wire mesh or No.
3 reinforcing bar at 18 inches on center. If welded wire mesh is selected, No. 3

structural footings and quartered with expansion joints or saw cuts. A positive
separation from the footings should be maintained with expansion joint material to

6. Presaturation is recommended for these soil conditions. The moisture content of
the subgrade soils should be equal to or greater than 120 percent of optimum
moisture content to a depth of 18 inches below grade in the slab areas. Prior to
placing visqueen or reinforcement, soil presaturation should be verified by this office
within 72 hours of pouring slabs.

0 Preliminary Post -tensioned Slab Design
M It is GSI's opinion that conventional slab design may not accommodate the foundations
distortion that the underlying subsurface geometry and/or fill thicknesses would impart to
some of the lots that are likely to be graded at the site. The recommendations presented
below should be followed in addition to those contained in the previous sections. The
information and recommendations presented in this section are not meant to supersede
design by a registered structural engineer or civil engineer familiar with post -tensioned slab
design or corrosion engineering consultant. Upon request, GSI could provide additional
data/consultation regarding soil parameters as related to post -tensioned slab design.
Concrete slabs, where moisture condensation is undesirable, should be underlain with a
vapor barrier consisting of a minimum of 6 mil polyvinyl chloride or equivalent membrane
with all laps sealed. This membrane should be covered above and below with a minimum
of 2 inches of sand (total of 4 inches) to aid in uniform curing of the concrete and to protect
the membrane from puncture.
The information and recommendations presented in this section are not meant to
supersede design by a registered structural engineer or civil engineer familiar with post -
tensioned slab design or corrosion engineering consultant. Upon request, GSI could
provide additional data/consultation regarding soil parameters as related to post -tensioned
slab design during grading.
The post -tensioned slabs should be designed in accordance with the recommendations
of the California Foundation Slab Method or Post -Tensioning Institute Method. The slabs
should be designed for at least 1 inch of surficial differential settlement (i.e., at least 1 inch
in a 30 -foot span) for low expansion soils. Based on review of laboratory data for the onsite
materials, the average soil modulus subgrade reaction K, to be used for design, is 100
pounds per cubic inch. This is equivalent to a surface bearing value of 1,000 pounds per
square foot.
California Foundation Slab Method: It is recommended that slabs be designed for a free
span of 15 feet. From a soil expansion/shrinkage standpoint, a fairly common contributing
factor to distress of structures using post -tensioned slabs is a significant fluctuation in the
moisture content of soils underlying the perimeter of the slab, compared to the center,
causing a "dishing" or "arching" of the slabs. To mitigate this possible phenomenon, a
combination of soil presaturation and construction of a perimeter cut-off wall grade beam
should be employed.
All slab foundation areas should be moisture -conditioned to at least optimum moisture, but
no more than 6 percent above optimum moisture, for a depth of at least 12 inches below
subgrade. A continuous perimeter curtain wall should extend to at least a depth of 18
inches below exterior grade for high expansion soils. The cut-off walls may be integrated
into the slab design or independent of the slab and should be a maximum of 6 inches. A

visqueen vapor barrier should be placed underneath the slab sandwiched between two
2 -inch layers of sand. This vapor barrier should be lapped adequately to provide a
continuous waterproof barrier under the entire slab. Other applicable recommendations
presented under conventional foundations should be adhered to during the design and
construction of the project.
Post -Tensioning Institute Method: Post -tensioned slabs should have sufficient stiffness to
resist excessive bending due to non-uniform swell and shrinkage of subgrade soils. The
differential movement can occur at the comer, edge, or center of slab. The potential for
differential uplift can be evaluated using the 1997 Uniform Building Code Section 1816,
based on design specifications of the Post -Tensioning Institute. The following table
presents suggested minimum coefficients to be used in the Post -Tensioning Institute
design method.

The coefficients are considered minimums and may not be adequate to represent worst
case conditions such as adverse drainage and/or improper landscaping and maintenance.
The above parameters are applicable provided structures have gutters and downspouts
and positive drainage is maintained away from structures. Therefore, it is important that
information regarding drainage, site maintenance, settlements, and effects of expansive
soils be passed on to future owners.
Based on the above parameters, the following values were obtained from figures or tables
of the 1997 Uniform Building Code Section 1816. The values may not be appropriate to
account for possible differential settlement of the slab due to other factors. If a stiffer slab
is desired, higher values of ym may be warranted.

Deepened footings/edges around the slab perimeter must be used to minimize non-
uniform surface moisture migration (from an outside source) beneath the slab. An edge
depth of 12 inches should be considered a minimum. The bottom of the deepened
footing/edge should be designed to resist tension, using cable or reinforcement per the
structural engineer. Other applicable recommendations presented under conventional
foundation and the California Foundation Slab Method should be adhered to during the
design and construction phase of the project.
TOP -OF -SLOPE WALLS
The geotechnical parameters provided below may be utilized for top -of -slope sound walls
which are founded in competent bedrock or engineered/compacted fill materials.
A pier -and -grade -beam foundation system for walls placed near or directly adjacent a top -
of -slope is recommended from a geotechnical standpoint, provided the recommendations
contained herein are applied in the design and construction of the foundations.
The tip elevation of the piers should be such that the entire bearing surface should be
bedded below a 1:1 projection from any adjacent structure or road area. The wall footings
or grade beams spanning between the piers should not have any lateral loading present
from wind or seismic sources. In areas where the deepened footings are founded in the
proximity of retaining wall foundations or other footings, the combined effect of the footing
surcharge and foundation loadings should not exceed the allowable bearing value (1500
psf).
Provided the drilled foundations have a minimum depth of 6 feet below the lowest adjacent
grade (excluding the pier cap) for walls immediately adjacent to a slope face, and a
minimum depth of 5 feet for walls with an offset of 2 feet or greater from the top -of -slope.
This embedment assumes penetration into engineered fill or competent bedrock. The
sound wall piers will gain most of their support from the adhesion of the soils along the
shaft. A value of 250 pounds per square foot (psf) skin friction along the pier shaft may be
used. Due to the pressure of potentially expansive soil, this value should not be applied
to the soil in the upper 3 feet. Consideration should also be given to providing a spacer
below each length of grade beam to allow for the effects of potentially expansive soils. The
allowable bearing denoted above is for the net bearing value (soil and footing weight may
be neglected). An allowable lateral soil pressure of 300 psf, applied to embedded

Melements grater that three feet in depth (and one foot in depth for walls with an offset of two
feet or more from the slope face), should be used for computing resistance to lateral loads
M for footings or piers adjacent a slope face. A spacing of 10 feet (maximum), center -to -
center, should be used for the design of shallow piers. Friction along grade beam bottoms
should not be considered for the lateral capacity of this type of foundation.
Additionally, the soils in the upper 5 feet may apply a creep load to piers and pier caps.
M A value of 1000 pounds (per foot) should be applied to piers of pier in the upper 4 feet as
a uniform pressure to accommodate creep loads.
The strength of the concrete and grout should be evaluated by the structural engineer of
record. The proper ASTM tests for the concrete and mortar should be provided along with
the slump quantities.
The placing of joints (expansion and crack control) should be incorporated into the wall
layout. This expansion joints should be placed no greater than 20 feet on -center and
should be reviewed by the civil engineer and structural engineer of record. GSI anticipates
distortions on the order of 1.5± inches in 50 feet for these walls located at the tops of
slopes. GSI should review the joint pattern and wall configuration with respect to the cut/fill
depths and provide comment. Lateral keys or dowels should be provided within pier caps
at expansion joints to resist lateral drift between wall sections.

GSI will consider an alternative foundation system for the walls, if the alternative
accommodates the distortions and potentially expansive soil conditions for the site.
RETAINING WALLS
General
The design parameters provided below assume that very low to low expansive soils (Class
2 permeable filter material or Class 3 aggregate base) are used to backfill any retaining
walls. If high to very highly expansive soils are used to backfill the proposed walls,
increased active and at -rest earth pressures will need to be utilized for retaining wall
design, and may be provided upon request. Building walls, below grade, should be water-
proofed or damp -proofed, depending on the degree of moisture protection desired. The
foundation system for the proposed retaining walls should be designed in accordance with
the recommendations presented in the preceding sections of this report, as appropriate.
Footings should be embedded a minimum of 18 inches below adjacent grade (excluding
landscape layer, 6 inches) and should be 24 inches in width. There should be no increase
in bearing for footing width.

Restrained Walls
M Any retaining walls that will be restrained prior to placing and compacting backfill material
or that have re-entrant or male corners, should be designed for an at -rest equivalent fluid
pressure (EFP) of 65 pounds per cubic foot (pcf), plus any applicable surcharge loading.
For areas of male or re-entrant corners, the restrained wall design should extend a
minimum distance of twice the height of the wall laterally from the corner.
MDebris Walls/Impact Walls
The active earth pressures as previously indicated should utilize an EFP of 125 pcf. Impact
and debris walls should be designed in a similar manner. The debris walls and impact
walls should be supported by footings with a minimum embedment of 18 inches into
competent bedrock. Consideration should be given to supporting debris and impact walls
on drilled piers embedded a minimum 6 feet into engineered fill or competent bedrock.
Cantilevered Walls
The recommendations presented below are for cantilevered retaining walls up to 10 feet
high. Active earth pressure may be used for retaining wall design, provided the top of the
wall is not restrained from minor deflections. An equivalent fluid pressure approach may
be used to compute the horizontal pressure against the wall. Appropriate fluid unit weights
are given below for specific slope gradients of the retained material. These do not include
other superimposed loading conditions such as traffic, structures, -seismic events or
adverse geologic conditions. When wall configurations are finalized, the appropriate
loading conditions for superimposed loads can be provided upon request.

ABS pipe encased in either Class 2 permeable filter material or'/z-inch to3/a-inch gravel
wrapped in approved filter fabric (Mirafi 140 or equivalent). The filter material should
extend a minimum of one horizontal foot behind the base of the walls and upward at least
one foot. Outlets should consist of a 4 -inch diameter solid PVC or ABS pipe spaced no
greater than 100± feet apart. The use of weep holes in walls higher than 2 feet should not
be considered. The surface of the backfill should be sealed by pavement or the top 18
inches compacted with native soil. Proper surface drainage should also be provided.
Consideration should be given to applying a water -proof membrane to all retaining
structures. The use of a waterstop should be considered for all concrete and masonry
joints.
Footing Excavation Observation
All footing excavations for walls and appurtenant structures should be observed by the
geotechnical consultant to evaluate the anticipated near surface conditions prior to the
placement of steel or concrete. Based on the conditions disclosed during the observations
of the footing excavation, supplemental recommendations may be offered, as appropriate.
IRECOMMENDATIONS -POST EARTHWORK
IPlanting and Landscape Maintenance
Graded slopes constructed within and/or exhibiting or exposing weathered bedrock,
colluvial, or alluvial materials are considered erosive. Eroded debris may be minimized
and surficial slope stability enhanced by establishing and maintaining a suitable vegetation
cover soon after construction. Plants selected by the project landscape architect should
be light weight, deep-rooted types that require little water and are capable of surviving the
prevailing climate.
Graded cut slopes exposing less weathered bedrock are anticipated to be relatively non-
erosive and will present difficulty for establishment of vegetation on the dense bedrock.
Jute -type matting or other fibrous covers may aid in allowing the establishment of a sparse
plant cover.
Water can weaken the inherent strength of all earth materials. Positive surface drainage
away from graded slopes should be maintained and only the amount of water necessary
to sustain plant life should be provided for planted slopes. Overwatering should be
avoided as overwatering the landscape area could adversely affect the proposed site
improvements. Planting of shrubs or trees adjacent to foundations is not recommended.
Homeowners guidelines will be provided in the final report or separately.

MErosion Control
M Cut and fill slopes will be subject to surficial erosion during and after grading. Onsite earth
materials have a moderate to high erosion potential. Evaluation of cuts during grading will
be necessary in order to identify any areas of loose or non -cohesive materials. Should any
significant zones be encountered during earthwork construction, remedial grading (e.g.,
stabilization fills) may be recommended; however, no remedial measures are anticipated
at this time. Consideration should be given to providing hay bales and silt fences for the
Mcontrol of surface water during grading.
Additional Site Imarovements
Recommendations for exterior swimming pool design and construction in light of the
presence of varying thickness of fills and expansive soils, can be provided upon request,
after site earthwork is complete. If, in the future, any additional improvements are planned
for the site in general or individual lots, consultation and recommendations concerning the
geological or geotechnical aspects of design and construction of said improvements may
be provided upon request by the client or the homeowners.
Additional Grading
This office should be notified in advance of any fill placement, supplemental regrading of
the site, or trench backfilling after rough grading has been compacted. This includes
completion of grading in the street and parking areas and utility trench and retaining wall
backfills.
Footing Trench Excavation
All footing trench excavations should be observed by a representative of this office prior
to placing reinforcement. Footing trench spoil and any excess soils generated from utility
trench excavations should be moisture conditioned and properly compacted if not
removed the site. If excavations become inundated during significant rainstorms, footing
trenches should be reviewed for mitigation, if necessary.
Drainage
Positive site drainage within lots and common areas should be maintained at all times.
Drainage should not flow uncontrolled down any descending slope. Water should be
directed away from foundations at a minimum of 1% to 2% for a distance of 5 to 3 feet,
respectively, and not allowed to pond and/or seep into the ground. Roof drainage should
be tight lined and directed to a suitable outlet. Pad drainage should be directed toward
the street or other approved area. Due to the expansive nature of on-site soils, combined
' with the hardness and low anticipated permeability of the bedrock, local areas of seepage
may develop due to surface sources of irrigation or heavy rainfall. Minimizing irrigation will

minimizing this effect could be provided upon request. The use of fertilizers may change
M the chemistry of tF a soils or runoff water and alter the performance of piping, foundations,
and subgrade structures. Consideration should be given for review by a qualified
corrosion specialist.
FLATWORK AND HARDSCAPE RECOMMENDATIONS
M1. Planters and walls should not be tied to the house.
2. Driveways, sidewalks, and patios adjacent to the house should be separated from
the house with thick expansion joint filler material. In addition, all sidewalks and
driveways should be quartered and poured with expansion joints no farther than 8
to 10 feet apart.
3. Overhang structures should be supported on the post -tensioned slabs or
structurally designed continuous footings tied in at least two directions.
4. Any masonry landscape walls that are to be constructed throughout the property
should be grouted and articulated in segments no more than twenty (20) feet long.
These segments should be keyed or doweled together.
5. Utilities should be enclosed within a closed utilidor (vault) or designed with flexible
connections to accommodate differential settlement and expansive soil conditions.
r
r
6. Finish grade on the lots should provide a minimum of 1-2 percent fall to the street
as previously indicated. It should be kept in mind that drainage reversals could
occur, including post -construction settlement, if relatively flat yard drainage
gradients are not maintained.
Tile Flooring
Tile flooring can crack, reflecting cracks in the concrete slab below the tile, although small
cracks in a post -tensioned slab may not be significant. Therefore, the designer should
consider additional steel reinforcement of concrete slabs on -grade where tile. will be
placed. The tile installer should consider installation methods that reduce possible
cracking of the tile such as slipsheets. Slipsheets or a vinyl crack isolation membrane
(approved by the Tile Council of America/Ceramic Tile Institute) is recommended between
tile and concrete slabs on grade.

Gutters and Downsaouts
As previously discussed in the drainage section, the installation of gutters and downspouts
is suggested to collect roof water that may otherwise infiltrate the soils adjacent to the
structures. The downspouts should be drained into PVC collector pipes or non-erosive
devises that will carry the water away from the house.

Exterior concrete slabs -on -grade (walkways, patios, etc.) should be constructed with a
minimum four inch thick slab, and reinforced with steel rebar or welded mesh. The
reinforcement should consist of No. 3 rebar placed at 24 inches on center in two
horizontally perpendicular directions (long axis and short axis), or 6x6-10/10 welded wire
mesh. It is important for the performance of the slab that the reinforcing be located near
mid -slab thickness using chairs, supports, etc. Hooking is not an acceptable method of
reinforcement placement, and is not recommended.
Distortions on the exterior slab -on -grade due to potentially expansive soils and proximity
to slopes may warrant additional mitigation. This may include crack control joints (4 to 6
feet spacing in horizontally perpendicular directions [long axis and short axis]), and
expansion control joints at intervals 10 feet or less. Other considerations for mitigation may
include the use of thickened edges for slabs at the top of slopes, fiber mesh mixed into the
concrete, or pre-moistening/pre-saturation of subgrade soils to optimum moisture content
to a depth of 12 inches, or 130 percent of optimum moisture content to a depth of 18
inches, respectively, for low or expansive soils.
Air conditioning (A/C) units should be supported by slabs that are incorporated into the
building foundation (PT slab) or constructed on a rigid slab with flexible couplings for
plumbing and electrical lines. A/C waste water lines should be drained to a suitable outlet
(see above).
Shrinkage cracks could become excessive if proper finishing and curing practices are not
followed. Finishing and curing practices should be performed per the Portland Cement
Association Guidelines. Mix design should incorporate rate of curing for climate and time
of year, sulfate content of soils, corrosion potential of soils, and fertilizers used on site.
SUPPLEMENTAL MOISTURE CONDITIONING
For post -tension slabs at 18 -inches of embedment, the moisture content of the subgrade
soils should be equal to or greater than 130 percent of the soils optimum moisture content
to a depth below subgrade of 18 inches, prior to pouring concrete. This soil moisture
content should be verified by a GSI representative. Once pre -construction testing is
completed the visqueen barrier should be placed on the moistened soil within 72 hours
and the slab be poured within 72 hours.

MTRENCH BACKFILL
M
1. Utility trench backfill within the influence of structures (buildings and
appurtenances), slopes, and beneath hard scape features should be brought to at
least optimum moisture content and then compacted to obtain a minimum relative
compaction of 90 percent of the laboratory standard. Flooding/jetting of trench
backfill is not recommended for the site soil materials. Due to contrasting soil
conditions, uniform sand backfill (SP or SM) should not be utilized, other than
immediately above and below pipelines, (approximately 1 foot thick).
2. Sand backfill should not be allowed in exterior trenches adjacent to and within an
area extending below a 1:1 plane projected from the outside bottom edge of a
foundation for a retaining wall, building, or key appurtenant structures.
3. When excavating trenches, the contractor should conform to CAL -OSHA, local
safety codes, and grading ordinances.
4. The utilities will be backfilled utilizing on site soils and compacted to a minimum of
90 percent relative compaction, or as required by the governing agency. The
bedding dimensions and setbacks of trenches will follow the County of Riverside
ordinances and utility company requirements unless superseded herein. All utility
backfill soil test results will be forthcoming in a report by GSI.
5. Utilities crossing grade beams, perimeter beams, or footings should either pass
below the footing or grade beam utilizing a hardened collar or foam spacer, or pass
through the footing or grade beam in accordance with the recommendations of the
structural engineer.
INVESTIGATION LIMITATIONS
The materials encountered on the project site and utilized in the laboratory are believed
representative of the total area; however, soils materials may vary in characteristics
between test excavations. Since our investigation is based upon the site materials
observed, selective laboratory testing, and geologic, the conclusions and
recommendations are professional opinions. It is possible that variations in the soil
conditions could exist beyond the points explored in this investigation. Also, changes in
groundwater conditions could occur at some time in the near future due to variations in
temperature, regional rainfall, and other factors.
These opinions have been derived in accordance with current standards of practice and
no warranty is expressed or implied. This report is subject to review by the controlling
authorities.

GENERAL EARTHWORK AND GRADING GUIDELINES
' General
These guidelines present general procedures and requirements for earthwork and grading
as shown on the approved grading plans, including preparation of areas to filled,
placement of fill, installation of subdrains and excavations. The recommendations
contained in the geotechnical report are part of the earthwork and grading guidelines and
t would supersede the provisions contained hereafter in the case of conflict. Evaluations
performed by the consultant during the course of grading may result in new
recommendations which could supersede these guidelines or the recommendations
contained in the geotechnical report.
' The contractor is responsible for the satisfactory completion of all earthwork in accordance
with provisions of the project plans and specifications. The project soil engineer and
engineering geologist (geotechnical consultant) or their representatives should provide
' observation and testing services, and geotechnical consultation during the duration of the
project.
IEARTHWORK OBSERVATIONS AND TESTING
1 Geotechnical Consultant
Prior to the commencement of grading, a qualified geotechnical consultant (soil engineer
and engineering geologist) should be employed for the purpose of observing earthwork
procedures and testing the fills for conformance with the recommendations of the
geotechnical report, the approved grading plans, and applicable grading codes and
ordinances.
' The geotechnical consultant should provide testing and observation so that determination
may be made that the work is being accomplished as specified. It is the responsibility of
the contractor to assist the consultants and keep them apprised of anticipated work
schedules and changes, so that they may schedule their personnel accordingly.
All clean -outs, prepared ground to receive fill, key excavations, and subdrains should be
1 observed and documented by the project engineering geologist and/or soil engineer prior
to placing and fill. It is the contractors's responsibility to notify the engineering geologist
and soil engineer when such areas are ready for observation.
Laboratory and Field Tests
Maximum dry density tests to determine the degree of compaction should be performed
in accordance with American Standard Testing Materials test method ASTM designation
D-1557-78: Random field compaction tests should be performed in accordance with test
' method ASTM designation D-1556-82, D-2937 or D-2922 and D-3017, at intervals of
■ approximately 2 feet of fill height or every 100 cubic yards of fill placed. These criteria
1 I GeoSoils, Inc.
I
' would vary depending on the soil conditions and the size of the project. The location and
frequency of testing would be at the discretion of the geotechnical consultant.
Contractor's Responsibility
' All clearing, site preparation, and earthwork performed on the project should be conducted
by the contractor, with observation by geotechnical consultants and staged approval by
the governing agencies, as applicable. It is the contractor's responsibility to prepare the
' ground surface to receive the fill, to the satisfaction of the soil engineer, and to place,
spread, moisture condition, mix and compact the fill in accordance with the
recommendations of the soil engineer. The contractor should also remove all major non -
earth material considered unsatisfactory by the soil engineer.
' It is the sole responsibility of the contractor to provide adequate equipment and methods
to accomplish the earthwork in accordance with applicable grading guidelines, codes or
agency ordinances, and approved grading plans. Sufficient watering apparatus and
compaction equipment should be provided by the contractor with due consideration for
the fill material, rate of placement, and climatic conditions. If, in the opinion of the
geotechnical consultant, unsatisfactory conditions such as questionable weather,
excessive oversized rock, or deleterious material, insufficient support equipment, etc., are
resulting in a quality of work that is not acceptable, the consultant will inform the
contractor, and the contractor is expected to rectify the conditions, and if necessary, stop
work until conditions are satisfactory.
During construction, the contractor shall properly grade all surfaces to maintain good
drainage and prevent ponding of water. The contractor shall take remedial measures to
control surface water and to prevent erosion of graded areas until such time as permanent
' drainage and erosion control measures have been installed.
' SITE PREPARATION
All major vegetation, including brush, trees, thick grasses, organic debris, and other
deleterious material should be removed and disposed of off-site. These removals must be
concluded prior to placing fill. Existing fill, soil, alluvium, colluvium, or rock materials
determined by the soil engineer or engineering geologist as being unsuitable in-place
should be removed prior to fill placement. Depending upon the soil conditions, these
materials may be reused as compacted fills. Any materials incorporated as part of the
compacted fills should be approved by the soil engineer.
Any underground structures such as cesspools, cisterns, mining shafts, tunnels, septic
tanks, wells, pipelines, or other structures not located prior to grading are to be removed
or treated in a manner recommended by the soil engineer. Soft, dry, spongy, highly
fractured, or otherwise unsuitable ground extending to such a depth that surface
processing cannot adequately improve the condition should be over -excavated down to

I
firm ground and approved by the soil engineer before compaction and filling operations
continue. Overexcavated and processed soils which have been properly mixed and
moisture conditioned should be re -compacted to the minimum relative compaction as
specified in these guidelines.
Existing ground which is determined to be satisfactory for support of the fills should be
scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches or as directed by the soil engineer. After the
scarified ground is brought to optimum moisture content or greater and mixed, the
materials should be compacted as specified herein. If the scarified zone is grater that 6
inches in depth, it may be necessary to remove the excess and place the material in lifts
restricted to about 6 inches in compacted thickness.
Existing ground which is not satisfactory to support compacted fill should be over -
excavated as required in the geotechnical report or by the on-site soils engineer and/or
engineering geologist. Scarification, disc harrowing, or other acceptable form of mixing
should continue until the soils are broken down and free of large lumps or clods, until the
working surface is reasonably uniform and free from ruts, hollow, hummocks, or other
uneven features which would inhibit compaction as described previously.
Where fills are to be placed on ground with slopes steeper than 5:1 (horizontal to vertical),
the ground should be stepped or benched. The lowest bench, which will act as a key,
should be a minimum of 15 feet wide and should be at least 2 feet deep into firm material,
and approved by the soil engineer and/or engineering geologist. In fill over cut slope
conditions, the recommended minimum width of the lowest bench or key is also 15 feet
with the key founded on firm material, as designated by the Geotechnical Consultant. As
a general rule, unless specifically recommended otherwise by the Soil Engineer, the
minimum width of fill keys should be approximately equal to 1/2 the height of the slope.
Standard benching is generally 4 feet (minimum) vertically, exposing firm, acceptable
material. Benching may be used to remove unsuitable materials, although it is understood
that the vertical height of the bench may exceed 4 feet. Pre -stripping may be considered
for unsuitable materials in excess of 4 feet in thickness.
' All areas to receive fill, including processed areas, removal areas, and the toe of fill
benches should be observed and approved by the soil engineer and/or engineering
geologist prior to placement of fill. Fills may then be properly placed and compacted until
' design grades (elevations) are attained.
' COMPACTED FILLS
Any earth materials imported or excavated on the property may be utilized in the fill
' provided that each material has been determined to be suitable by the soil engineer.
These materials should be free of roots, tree branches, other organic matter or other
deleterious materials. All unsuitable materials should be removed from the fill as directed
US Home Appendix E

I
by the soil engineer. Soils of poor gradation, undesirable expansion potential, or
substandard strength characteristics may be designated by the consultant as unsuitable
' and may require blending with other Soils to serve as a satisfactory fill material.
Fill materials derived from benching operations should be dispersed throughout the fill
' area and blended with other bedrock derived material. Benching operations should not
result in the benched material being placed only within a single equipment width away
from the fill/bedrock contact.
Oversized materials defined as rock or other irreducible materials with a maximum
' dimension greater than 12 inches should not be buried or placed in fills unless the location
of materials and disposal methods are specifically approved by the soil engineer.
Oversized material should be taken off-site or placed in accordance with recommendations
' of the soil engineer in areas designated as suitable for rock disposal. Oversized material
should not be placed within 10 feet vertically of finish grade (elevation) or within 20 feet
horizontally of slope faces.
' To facilitate future trenching, rock should not be placed within the range of foundation
excavations, future utilities, or underground construction unless specifically approved by
the soil engineer and/or the developers representative.
If import material is required for grading, representative samples of the materials to be
' utilized as compacted fill should be analyzed in the laboratory by the soil engineer to
determine its physical properties. If any material other than that previously tested is
encountered during grading, an appropriate analysis of this material should be conducted
' by the soil engineer as soon as possible.
Approved fill material should be placed in areas prepared to receive fill in near horizontal
' layers that when compacted should not exceed 6 inches in thickness. The soil engineer
may approve thick lifts if testing indicates the grading procedures are such that adequate
' compaction is being achieved with lifts of greater thickness. Each layer should be spread
evenly and blended to attain uniformity of material and moisture suitable for compaction.
' Fill layers at a moisture content less than optimum should be watered and mixed, and wet
fill layers should 46e aerated by scarification or should be blended with drier material.
Moisture condition, blending, and mixing of the fill layer should continue until the fill
materials have a uniform moisture content at or above optimum moisture.
After each layer has been evenly spread, moisture conditioned and mixed, it should be
uniformly compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of maximum density as determined by
ASTM test designation, D-1557-78, or as otherwise recommended by the soil engineer.
Compaction equipment should be adequately sized and should be specifically designed
' for soil compaction or of proven reliability to efficiently achieve the specified degree of
compaction.
US Home Appendix E
' File: e:1wp71murr\rc2500\2565as9i Page 4
GeoSoiills, Inc.
Where tests indicate that the density of any layer of fill, or portion thereof, is below the
required relative compaction, or improper moisture is in evidence, the particular layer or
portion shall be re -worked until the required density and/or moisture content has been
attained. No additional fill shall be placed in an area until the last placed lift of fill has been
tested and found to meet the density and moisture requirements, and is approved by the
' soil engineer
Compaction of slopes should be accomplished by over -building a minimum of 3 feet
horizontally, and subsequently trimming back to the design slope configuration. Testing
shall be performed as the fill is elevated to evaluate compaction as the fill core is being
' developed: Special efforts may be necessary to attain the specified compaction in the fill
slope zone. Final slope shaping should be performed by trimming and removing loose
materials with appropriate equipment. A final determination of fill slope compaction should
be based on observation and/or testing of the finished slope face. Where compacted fill
slopes are designed steeper than 2:1 (horizontal to vertical), specific material types, a
higher minimum relative compaction, and special grading procedures, may be
' recommended.
If an alternative to over -building and cutting back the compacted fill slopes is selected,
' then special effort should be made to achieve the required compaction in the outer 10 feet
of each lift of fill by undertaking the following:
1. An extra piece of equipment consisting of a heavy short shanked sheepsfoot should
be used to roll (horizontal) parallel to the slopes continuously as fill is placed. The
sheepsfoot roller should also be used to roll perpendicular to the slopes, and
extend out over the slope to provide adequate compaction to the face of the slope.
2. Loose fill should not be spilled out over the face of the slope as each lift is
' compacted. Any loose fill spilled over a previously completed slope face should be
trimmed off or be subject to re -rolling.
' 3. Field compaction tests will be made in the outer (horizontal) 2 to 8 feet of the slope
at appropriate vertical intervals, subsequent to compaction operations.
4. After completion of the slope, the slope face should be shaped with a small tractor
and then re -rolled with a sheepsfoot to achieve compaction to near the slope face.
' Subsequent to testing to verify compaction, the slopes should be grid -rolled to
achieve compaction to the slope face. Final testing should be used to confirm
compaction after grid rolling.
' 5. Where testing indicates less than adequate compaction, the contractor will be
responsible to rip, water, mix and re -compact the slope material as necessary to
' achieve compaction. Additional testing should be performed to verify compaction.

' 6. Erosion control and drainage devices should be designed by the project civil
engineer in compliance with ordinances of the controlling governmental agencies,
and/or in accordance with the recommendation of the soil engineer or engineering
geologist.
ISUBDRAIN INSTALLATION
Subdrains should be installed in approved ground in accordance with the approximate
alignment and details indicated by the geotechnical consultant. Subdrain locations or
materials should not be changed or modified without approval of the geotechnical
' consultant. The soil engineer and/or engineering geologist may recommend and direct
changes in subdrain line, grade and drain material in the field, pending exposed
' conditions. The location of constructed subdrains should be recorded by the project civil
engineer.
1 EXCAVATIONS
Excavations and cut slopes should be examined during grading by the engineering
' geologist. If directed by the engineering geologist, further excavations or overexcavation
and re -filling of cut areas should be performed and/or remedial grading of cut slopes
should be performed. When fill over cut slopes are to be graded, unless otherwise
' approved, the cut portion of the slope should be observed by the engineering geologist
prior to placement of materials for construction of the fill portion of the slope.
' The engineering geologist should observe all cut slopes and should be notified by the
contractor when cut slopes are started.
' If, during the course of grading, unforeseen adverse or potential adverse geologic
conditions are encountered, the engineering geologist and soil engineer should
investigate, evaluate and make recommendations to treat these problems. The need for
cut slope buttressing or stabilizing should be based on in -grading evaluation by the
engineering geologist, whether anticipated or not.
' Unless otherwise specified in soil and geological reports, no cut slopes should be
excavated higher or steeper than that allowed by the ordinances of controlling
' governmental agencies. Additionally, short-term stability of temporary cut slopes is the
contractors responsibility.
Erosion control and drainage devices should be designed by the project civil engineer and
should be constructed in compliance with the ordinances of the controlling governmental
agencies, and/or in accordance with the recommendations of the soil engineer or
engineering geologist.

COMPLETION
' Observation, testing and consultation by the geotechnical consultant should be conducted
during the grading operations in order to state an opinion that all cut and filled areas are
graded in accordance with the approved project specifications.
' After completion of grading and after the soil engineer and engineering geologist have
finished their observations of the work, final reports should be submitted subject to review
1 by the controlling governmental agencies. No further excavation or filling should be
undertaken without prior notification of the soil engineer and/or engineering geologist.
' All finished cut and fill slopes should be protected from erosion and/or be planted in
accordance with the project specifications and/or as recommended by a landscape
' architect. Such protection and/or planning should be undertaken as soon as practical after
completion of grading.
JOB SAFETY
General
At GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) getting the job done safely is of primary concern. The following is
'
the company's safety considerations for use by all employees on multi-employer
construction sites. On ground personnel are at highest risk of injury and possible fatality
on grading and construction projects. GSI recognizes that construction activities will vary
'
on each site and that site safety is the prime responsibility of the contractor; however,
everyone must be safety conscious and responsible at all times. To achieve our goal of
avoiding accidents, cooperation between the client, the contractor and GSI personnel must
be maintained.
In an effort to minimize risks associated with geotechnical testing and observation, the
following precautions are to be implemented for the safety of field personnel on grading
and construction projects:
Safety Meetings: GSI field personnel are directed to attend contractors regularly
scheduled and documented safety meetings.

amber beacon, or strobe lights, on the vehicle during all field testing.
While operating a vehicle in the grading area, the emergency flasher
on the vehicle shall be activated.
In the event that the contractor's representative observes any of our personnel not
following the above, we request that it be brought to the attention of our office.
Test Pits Location. Orientation and Clearance
The technician is responsible for selecting test pit locations. A primary concern should be
the technicians's safety. Efforts will be made to coordinate locations with the grading
contractors authorized representative, and to select locations following or behind the
established traffic pattern, preferably outside of current traffic. The contractors authorized
representative (dump man, operator, supervisor, grade checker, etc.) should direct
excavation of the pit and safety during the test period. Of paramount concern should be
the soil technicians safety and obtaining enough tests to represent the fill.
Test pits should be excavated so that the spoil pile is placed away form oncoming traffic,
whenever possible. The technician's vehicle is to be placed next to the test pit, opposite
the spoil pile. This necessitates the fill be maintained in a driveable condition.
Alternatively, the contractor may wish to park a piece of equipment in front of the test
holes, particularly in small fill areas or those with limited access.
A zone of non -encroachment should be established for all test pits. No grading equipment
should enter this zone during the testing procedure. The zone should extend
approximately 50 feet outward from the center of the test pit. This zone is established for
safety and to avoid excessive ground vibration which typically decreased test results.
When taking slope tests the technician should park the vehicle directly above or below the
test location. If this is not possible, a prominent flag should be placed at the top of the
slope. The contractor's representative should effectively keep all equipment at a safe
operation distance (e.g. 50 feet) away from the slope during this testing.
The technician is directed to withdraw from the active portion of the fill as soon as possible
following testing. The technician's vehicle should be parked at the perimeter of the fill in
a highly visible location, well away from the equipment traffic pattern.
The contractor should inform our personnel of all changes to haul roads, cut and fill areas
or other factors that, may affect site access and site safety.
In the event that the technicians safety is jeopardized or compromised as a result of the
contractors failure to comply with any of the above, the technician is required, by company
policy, to immediately withdraw and notify his/her supervisor. The grading contractors
representative will eventually be contacted in an effort to effect a solution. However, in the
US Home

F,
interim, no further testing will be performed until the situation is rectified. Any fill place can
be considered unacceptable and subject to reprocessing, recompaction or removal.
In the event that the soil technician does not comply with the above or other established
safety guidelines, we request that the contractor brings this to his/her attention and notify
' this office. Effective communication and coordination between the contractors
representative and the soils technician is strongly encouraged in order to implement the
above safety plan.
Trench and Vertical Excavation
It is the contractor's responsibility to provide safe access into trenches where compaction
testing is needed.
Our personnel are directed not to enter any excavation or vertical cut which 1) is 5 feet or
deeper unless shored or laid back, 2) displays any evidence of instability, has any loose
' rock or other debris which could fall into the trench, or 3) displays any other evidence of
any unsafe conditions regardless of depth.
All trench excavations or vertical cuts in excess of 5 feet deep, which any person enters,
should be shored or laid back.
Trench access should be provided in accordance with CAL -OSHA and/or state and local
standards. Our personnel are directed not to enter any trench by being lowered or "riding
down" on the equipment.
If the contractor fails to provide safe access to trenches for compaction testing, our
' company policy requires that the soil technician withdraw and notify his/her supervisor.
The contractors representative will eventually be contacted in an effort to effect a solution.
All backfill not tested due to safety concerns or other reasons could be subject to
' reprocessing and/or removal.
If GSI personnel become aware of anyone working beneath an unsafe trench wall or
' vertical excavation, we have a legal obligation to put the contractor and owner/developer
on notice to immediately correct the situation. If corrective steps are not taken, GSI then
has an obligation to notify CAL -OSHA and/or the proper authorities.

' accordance with the City of Temecula guidelines and under the observation and testing
' of the project geotechnical engineer and/or City of Temecula.
' ; UBGRADE AND BASE PREPARATION
Based on the anticipated use and expansion characteristics of site soil, the upper
' 12 inches of subgrade should be scarified, moisture conditioned to at, or near, the soils
optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry
density. If adverse conditions are encountered during preparation of the subgrade
' materials, special construction methods may need to be employed
' PAVEMENT COMRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE
The recommended pavement sections are meant as minimums. If thinner or highly
t variable pavement sections are constructed, increased maintenance and repair may be
needed. Positive site drainage should be maintained at all times. Water should not be
allowed to pond or seep into the ground. If planters or landscaping are adjacent to paved
' areas, measures should be taken to minimize the potential for water to enter the pavement
section. If the ADT (average daily traffic) or ADTT (average daily truck traffic) increases
beyond that intended, as reflected by the traffic index(s) used for design, increased
' maintenance and repair could be required for the pavement section.
' LIMITATIONS
' The materials encountered on the project site and utilized in our laboratory study are
believed to be representative of the total area. However, variations from the anticipated
conditions and actual field conditions should be expected. Test excavations are reflective
of the soil and rock materials only at the specific location explored. Site conditions may
vary due to seasonal changes or other factors.
' Since our study is based on the earth materials obtained in the field onsite, selective
laboratory testing and engineering analyses, the conclusions and recommendations are
professional opinions based upon those parameters. These opinions have been derived
' in accordance with the current standards of practice and no warranty is expressed or
implied. Standards of practice are subject to change in time. Overall, the enclosed results
represent our professional opinions and evaluations which were performed within the
constraints of a budget. GeoSoiis, Inc. assumes no responsibility or liability for work or
testing performed by others.

California," dated November 12, 1998, W.O. 2565 -A -SC, by GeoSoils, Inc.
Dear Ms. Mokhtarzadeh:
This letter is provided to update the recommendations provided relative to the corrosivity
potential of the site soils. Actual laboratory test results are provided as Plate 1 following the
text of this addendum. The test results are summarized below:
Soluble Sulfates/pH/Resistivity
A sample of the site materials was analyzed for soluble sulfate content and corrosion to
ferrous metals. The results are as follows:
RESISTIVITY -SATURATED.
pH (ohms -cm)
6.1 300
Based upon the soluble sulfate test results (UBC range for negligible sulfate exposure is
0 to 150 ppm soluble IS041 in water), Type V concrete is not required; and Type II concrete
may be utilized. Per code, 4,000 psi concrete not is required. In addition, pH and
resistivity tests were performed, which indicate site soils are slightly acidic and are severely
corrosive to ferrous metals. Severely corrosive soils are considered as having a resistivity
of less than 2,000 ohms -cm. Consultation with a qualified corrosion engineer is
recommended. Additional testing for corrosion should be performed at the conclusion of
grading so that final recommendations for corrosion may be provided, if warranted.

' variable pavement sections are constructed, increased maintenance and repair may be
needed. Positive site drainage should be maintained at all times. Water should not be
allowed to pond or seep into the ground. If planters or landscaping are adjacent to paved
' areas, measures should be taken to minimize the potential for water to enter the pavement
section. If the ADT (average daily traffic) or ADTT (average daily truck traffic) increases
beyond that intended, as reflected by the traffic index(s) used for design, increased
' maintenance and repair could be required for the pavement section.
LIMITATIONS
' The materials encountered on the project site and utilized in our laboratory study are
believed to be representative of the total area. However, variations from the anticipated
conditions and actual field conditions should be expected. Test excavations are reflective
of the soil and rock materials only at the specific location explored. Site conditions may
vary due to seasonal changes or other factors.
' Since our study is based on the earth materials obtained in the field onsite, selective
laboratory testing and engineering analyses, the conclusions and recommendations are
professional opinions based upon those parameters. These opinions have been derived

California," dated November 12, 1998, W.O. 2565 -A -SC, by GeoSoils, Inc.
Dear Ms. Mokhtarzadeh:
This letter is provided to update the recommendations provided relative to the corrosivity
potential of the site soils. Actual laboratory test results are provided as Plate 1 following the
text of this addendum. The test results are summarized below:
Soluble Sulfates/pH/Resistivity
A sample of the site materials was analyzed for soluble sulfate content and corrosion to
ferrous metals. The results are as follows:
Based upon the soluble sulfate test results (UBC range for negligible sulfate exposure is
0 to 150 ppm soluble [SOJ in water), Type V concrete is not required; and Type 11 concrete
may be utilized. Per code, 4,000 psi concrete not is required. In addition, pH and
resistivity tests were performed, which indicate site soils are slightly acidic and are severely
corrosive to ferrous metals. Severely corrosive soils are considered as having a resistivity
of less than 2,000 ohms -cm. Consultation with a qualified corrosion engineer is
recommended. Additional testing for corrosion should be performed at the conclusion of
grading so that final recommendations for corrosion may be provided, if warranted.

Dear Ms. Mokhtarzadeh:
' As discussed, GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) has prepared preliminary design and construction
recommendations for asphalt concrete pavement (ACP) at the subject site. The scope of
services provided in preparation of this report included prior representative sampling at
' anticipated subgrade elevations, previous laboratory testing, and engineering analysis of
pavement design. The actual pavement design should be determined at the completion
of grading.
PAVEMENT DESIGN
Pavement sections for ACP presented are based on resistance "R" -value data determined
from soils exposed at or near anticipated final subgrade elevations within the subject street
' areas, and the minimum standards of the City of Temecula. "R" -value testing was
performed in accordance with the latest revisions to the Department of Transportation,
State of California, Material & Research Test Method No. 301. "R" -value data is included

SUBGRADE AND BASE PREPARATION
' Based on the anticipated use and expansion characteristics of site soil, the upper

' GeoSoils, Inc.
accordance with the City of Temecula guidelines and under the observation and testing
of the project geotechnical engineer and/or City of Temecula.
SUBGRADE AND BASE PREPARATION
Based on the anticipated use and expansion characteristics of site soil, the upper
12 inches of subgrade should be scarified, moisture conditioned to at, or near, the soils
optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry
density. If adverse conditions are encountered during preparation of the subgrade
materials, special construction methods may need to be employed.
PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE
The recommended pavement sections are meant as minimums. If thinner or highly
variable pavement sections are constructed, increased maintenance and repair may be
needed. Positive site drainage should be maintained at all times. Water should not be
allowed to pond or seep into the ground. If planters or landscaping are adjacent to paved
areas, measures should be taken to minimize the potential for water to enter the pavement
section. If the ADT (average daily traffic) or ADTT (average daily truck traffic) increases
beyond that intended, as reflected by the traffic index(s) used for design, increased
maintenance and repair could be required for the pavement section.
LIMITATIONS
' The materials encountered on the project site and utilized in our laboratory study are
believed to be representative of the total area. However, variations from the anticipated
conditions and actual field conditions should be expected. Test excavations are reflective
' of the soil and rock materials only at the specific location explored. Site conditions may
vary due to seasonal changes or other factors.
' Since our study is based on the earth materials obtained in the field onsite, selective
laboratory testing and engineering analyses, the conclusions and recommendations are
professional opinions based upon those parameters. These opinions have been derived
' in accordance with the current standards of practice and no warranty is expressed or
implied. Standards of practice are subject to change in time. Overall, the enclosed results
represent our professional opinions and evaluations which were performed within the
' constraints of a budget. GeoSoils, Inc. assumes no responsibility or liability for work or
testing performed by others.
