The completed earthwork has been reviewed and is considered adequate for the
construction now planned. On the basis of our observations, as well as field and
laboratory testing, the recommendations presented in this report were prepared in
conformance with generally accepted professional engineering practices and no further
warranty is implied nor made.
SUMMARY OF AS -GRADED SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
As -Graded Conditions
Remedial grading during the 1989 interface grading generally involved the removal
and recompaction of low-density surficial soils that included alluvial and colluvial
soils subject to hydrocollapse or excessive consolidation, as well as near -surface
weathered bedrock materials. Remedial grading during the recent phase of rough
grading included similar removals plus surficial overexcavation and recompaction of
up to 30 feet. Highly expansive claystone was overexcavated from Lots 5 through 7
to a depth of 30 feet. Remedial grading also included overexcavation of the cut
portions of cut/fill transition lots. The compacted fills range in depth from
approximately 5 to 10 feet. A lot -by -lot summary of the compacted fill depths is
presented in the attached Table 1. A general description of the soil and bedrock
materials underlying the subject tract is provided below.
Compacted Engineered Fill (man symbol afc) — The compacted fill soils placed
in 1989 and 1990 generally consisted of silty sand and sandy silt with variable clay.
The compacted -fill soils placed in 2002 are comprised of onsite -derived soil and
bedrock materials and generally consist of fine- to coarse-grained sand, silty sand
and clayey sand.
• Pauba Formation Bedrock (Qps) — The Pauba Formation consists of dense, fine-
grained and well -graded sandstones, clayey sandstone and clay beds with
occasional gravel and cobble beds. A cross -bedded, well -graded sand unit is
contained within the Pauba Formation.

' SUMMARY OF EARTHWORK
OBSERVATIONS AND DENSITY TESTING
' Clearing and Grubbing
At the time of the recent grading operation, a majority of the tract was covered with
' a light growth of grasses and weeds. This light vegetation was removed during
overexcavation of existing grades and mixed with the excavated soils in an acceptable
' manner (i.e., the resultant blend contained less than 1 percent organic materials).
tGround Preparation
• 1989 - 1990 — During the interface grading performed in 1989 and 1990, unsuitable
t soils were removed and replaced with compacted fill. Removal of unsuitable soils
was performed to facilitate future grading by eliminating the need to encroach into
the completed golf -course fairways during final rough grading of the subject tract.
Removal of unsuitable soils extended laterally into the fairways at a 1:1
(horizontal:vertical [h:v]) projection from the proposed toe -of -slopes to the bottom
of the overexcavation in order to provide sufficient lateral support for the
embankment fills. As a result of the removals, the alluvial soils anticipated to be
subject to hydrocollapse or excessive consolidation that existed within the broader
valley areas were removed. In areas to receive compacted fill, all deposits of
existing low-density surficial soils (slopewash and alluvium) were removed to
competent bedrock. In general, removal of unsuitable surficial materials varied
from approximately 3 to 5 feet below the original ground surface. All removals
'. were also extended into adjacent street areas to receive compacted fill.
• 2002 — Prior to placing structural fill, existing low-density surficial soils were first
removed to competent unweathered bedrock or previously compacted -fill materials.
Removals throughout the lots were from approximately 1 to 2 feet. Previously
compacted -fill materials exposed in removal areas exhibited an in-place relative
compaction of a minimum of 90 percent.
Prior to placing fill, exposed bottom surfaces in all removal areas were first observed
and approved by our project geologist or senior soil technician. Following this
approval, the exposed bottom surfaces were scarified to depths of approximately 6 to
8 inches, watered or air-dried as necessary to achieve a moisture content equal to or
4

slightly above optimum moisture content and then recompacted in-place to a minimum
'
relative compaction of 90 percent.
' Lot Overexcavations
To mitigate distress to residential structures related to the potential adverse effects of
excessive differential settlement, the cut portion of cut/fill transition lots were
overexcavated to a minimum depth of 5 feet below finish grade and replaced with
compacted fill.
The bedrock exposed in Lots 5 through 7 consisted of a clay bed with an expansion
index of 169 (HIGH). Therefore, overexcavations were extended to 10 feet below
finish grade within these lots.
' Fill Placement and Testing
All fill soils were placed in life restricted to approximately 6 to 8 inches in maximum
thickness, watered or air-dried as necessary to achieve near -optimum moisture
conditions and then compacted in-place to a minimum relative compaction of 90
percent based on ASTM Test Method D1557. Compaction was achieved by wheel -
rolling with an 824 rubber -tired dozer and loaded scrapers. The maximum vertical
depth of fill placed within the subject lots is approximately 30 feet.
Field density and moisture content tests were performed in accordance with nuclear -
gauge test methods ASTM Test Methods D2922 and D3017, respectively. Occasional
Field density tests were also performed in accordance with the sandcone method
' (ASTM Test Method D1556). Field density test results are presented on the attached
Table II and approximate test locations are shown on the enclosed Geotechnical Map
' with Field Density Test Locations (Figure 1).

Field density tests were taken at vertical intervals of approximately 1 to 2 feet and the
compacted fills were tested at the time of placement to verify that the specified
moisture content and minimum -required relative compaction of 90 percent had been
achieved. At least one in-place density test was taken for each 1,000 cubic yards of fill
placed and/or for each 2 feet in vertical height of compacted fill. The actual number
of tests taken per day varied with the project conditions, such as the number of earth -
movers (scrapers) and availability of support equipment. When field density tests
produced results less than the required minimum relative compaction of 90 percent or
if the soils were found to be excessively above or below optimum moisture content,
the approximate limits of the substandard fill were established. The substandard area
was then either removed or reworked in-place.
Visual classification of earth materials in the field was the basis for determining which
maximum dry density value was applicable for a given density test. Single -point
checks were performed to supplement visual classification.
Fill Slopes
All fill slopes, including those constructed during 1989 and 1990, were constructed at
a maximum ratio of 2:1 (h:v) and to a maximum height of approximately 6 feet. All
fill slopes were overfilled an average of 4 to 5 feet during construction and then
trimmed back to the compacted core.
Cut Slopes
Cut slopes were excavated at a maximum slope ratio of 2:1 (h:v) and a maximum
height of 5 feet. They descend ascend to the adjacent golf course from Lots 5 and 6.
The cut slopes expose well -graded, cross -bedded sandstones of the Pauba Formation
which trend northeast and dip only a few degrees to the northwest (neutral to the slope
face).

LABORATORY TESTING
Maximum Dry Density
Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for each change in soil type
observed during grading were determined in our laboratory in accordance with ASTM
Test Method D1557. Pertinent test values are summarized in Appendix A.
Expansion Index Tests
Expansion index tests were performed on representative samples of soil existing at or
near finish -pad grade within the subject lots and for the majority of the maximum dry
density soil types identified during the rough -grading operations. These tests were
performed in accordance with ASTM Test Method D4829. Test results are also
summarized in Appendix A.
Atterberg Limits
Atterberg limits were determined for selected soil samples that were classified as
expansive soils. The tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Test Method
D4318. Test results are presented in Appendix A.
Soluble Sulfate Analyses
Soluble sulfate analyses were determined for representative samples of soil existing
at or near finish grade within the subject lots. These tests were performed in
accordance with California Test Method No. 417. 'rest results are summarized in
Appendix A.

Chloride, Resistivity and PH Analyses
Water-soluble chloride concentration, resistivity and pH were determined for a
selected sample in accordance with California 'rest Method Nos. 422 (chloride) and
643 (resistivity and pI-I). The results of these analyses are summarized in Appendix A.
FOUNDATION -DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Foundation Types
Based on as -graded soil and geologic conditions, the use of conventional slab -on -
ground foundations is considered feasible for the proposed residential structures.
Recommended design parameters are provided herein.
Allowable Soil -Bearing Capacities
An allowable soil -bearing capacity of 1,500 pounds per square foot (pso may be used
for 24 -inch square pad footings and 12 -inch wide continuous footings founded at a
minimum depth of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent final grade. This value may
be increased by 20 percent for each additional foot of width or depth, to a maximum
value of 2,500 psi'. Recommended allowable soil -bearing values include both dead
and live loads and may be increased by one-third when designing for short -duration
wind and seismic forces.
Anticipated Settlement
Based on the general settlement characteristics of the compacted fill soils, as well as
the anticipated loading, it has been estimated that the maximum total settlement of
building footings will be less than approximately 0.75 inch. Maximum differential
settlement over a horizontal distance of 30 feet is expected to be about one-half the

total settlement. The maximum anticipated differential settlement of 0.38 inch in 30
feet may be expressed as an angular distortion of 1:960.
Lateral Resistance
A passive earth pressure of 250 psf per foot of depth to a maximum value of 2,500 psf
may be used to determine lateral -bearing resistance for building footings. Where
structures such as masonry walls and retaining walls are planned on or near descending
slopes, the passive earth pressure should be reduced to 150 psf per foot of depth to a
maximum value of 1,500 psf. In addition a coefficient of friction of 0.40 times the
dead -load forces may also be used between concrete and the supporting soils to
determine lateral -sliding resistance. An increase of one-third of the above values may
also be used when designing for short -duration wind and seismic farces.
The above values are based on footings placed directly against compacted fill. In the
case where footing sides are formed, all backfill against the footings should be
compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of maximum dry density.
Footing Observations
All footing trenches should be observed by a representative of Petra to verify that they
have been excavated into competent bearing soils and to the minimum embedments
recommended herein. The foundation excavations should be observed prior to the
placement of forms, reinforcement or concrete. The excavations should be trimmed
neat, level and square. All loose, sloughed or moisture -softened soil and any
construction debris should be removed prior to placing concrete.
Excavated soils derived from footing and utility trench excavations should not be
placed in slab -on -ground areas unless the soils are compacted to a minimum of 90
percent of maximum dry density.

Expansive Soil Considerations
Results of laboratory tests indicate onsite soil and bedrock materials in the upper 15
feet exhibit expansion potentials of VERY LOW and MEDIUM as classified in
accordance with 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC) Table 18 -I -B. The classification
of soils in the upper 15 feet is based upon the soil classification as determined during
field density testing. The laboratory test results indicate that the soils within the upper
5 feet and from 10 feet and lower are classified as having a VERY LOW expansion
potential. Some of the soils within the zone from 5 to 10 feet have a MEDIUM
expansion potential. Overall, the subject lots should be classified as having VERY
LOW expansion potential.
Very Low Expansion Potential (Expansion Index of 20 or less)
The following recommendations pertain to as -graded lots where the foundation soils
exhibit a VERY LOW expansion potential as classified in accordance with 1997 UBC
Table 18 -I -B. For soils exhibiting expansion indices of less than 20, the design of
slab -on -ground foundations is exempt from the design for expansive soil conditions
as indicated in 1997 UBC Section 1806.2. Based on this soil condition, it is
recommended that footings and floors be constructed and reinforced in accordance
with the following minimum criteria. However, additional slab thickness, footing sizes
and/or reinforcement should be provided as required by the project architect or
structural engineer.
• Footings
- Exterior continuous footings may be founded at the minimum depths indicated
in 1997 UBC Table 18 -I -C (i.e., 12 -inch minimum depth for one-story and 18 -
inch minimum depth for two-story construction). Interior continuous footings
for both one- and two-story construction may be founded at a minimum depth
of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent grade. All continuous footings should
have a minimum width of 12 and 15 inches, for one- and two-story buildings,

respectively and should be reinforced with two No. 4 bars, one top and one
rbottom.
Exterior pad footings intended for the support of roof overhangs, such as
second -story decks, patio covers and similar construction, should be a minimum
of 24 inches square and founded at a minimum depth of 18 inches below the
lowest adjacent final grade. No special reinforcement of the pad footings will
be required.
• Floor Slabs
Living -area concrete -floor slabs should be 4 inches thick and reinforced with
' either 6 -inch by 6 -inch, No. 6 by No. 6 welded -wire fabric (6x6-W2.9xW2.9
WWF) or with No.3 bars spaced a maximum of 24 inches on center, both ways.
All slab reinforcement should be supported on concrete chairs or bricks to
I
ensure the desired placement near mid -depth
Living -area concrete -floor slabs should be underlain with a moisture -vapor
barrier consisting of a polyvinyl chloride membrane, such as 6 -mil Visqueen or
equivalent. All laps within the membrane should be sealed and 2 inches or more
of clean sand be placed over the membrane to promote uniform curing of the
concrete.
' Garage -floor slabs should be 4 inches thick and should be reinforced in a similar
manner as living -area floor slabs. Garage -floor slabs should also be placed
separately from adjacent wall footings with a positive separation maintained
with 3/8 -inch -minimum, felt expansion -joint materials and quartered with
weakened -plane joints. A 12 -inch -wide grade beam founded at the same depth
as adjacent footings should be provided across garage entrances. The grade
beam should be reinforced with a minimum of two No. 4 bars, one top and one
bottom.
' Prior to placing concrete, the subgrade soils below all concrete slab -on -ground
should be prewatered to promote uniform curing of the concrete and minimize
the development of shrinkage cracks.

SEISMIC -DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Ground Motions
Structures within the site should be designed and constructed to resist the effects of
seismic ground motions as provided in 1997 UBC Sections 1626 through 1633. The
method of design is dependent on the seismic zoning, site characteristics, occupancy
category, building configuration, type of structural system and on the building height.
For structural design in accordance with the 1997 UBC, a computer program
developed by Thomas F. Blake (UBCSEIS, 1998/1999) was utilized which compiles
fault information for a particular site using a modified version of a data file of
approximately 183 California faults that were digitized by the California Division of
Mines and Geology and the U.S. Geological Survey. This program computes various
information for a particular site including the distance of the site from each of the
faults in the data file, the estimated slip -rate for each fault and the "maximum moment
magnitude" of each fault. The program then selects the closest Type A, Type B and
Type C faults from the site and computes the seismic design coefficients for each of
the fault types. The program then selects the largest of the computed seismic design
coefficients and designates these as the design coefficients for the subject site.
Based on the computer generated data using UBCSEIS, the Elsinore -Julian (Type A)
segment of the Elsinore fault zone, located approximately 12.1 kilometers from the
site, could generate severe site ground motions with an anticipated maximum moment
magnitude of 7.1 and anticipated slip rate of 5.0 mm/year. However, the closest
Type B fault which is the Elsinore -Temecula fault located 1.3 kilometers to the
southwest of Tract 23066-2 would probably generate the most severe site ground
motions with an anticipated maximum moment magnitude of 6.8 and anticipated slip
rate of 5.0 mm/year. Based on our evaluation using UBCSEIS, the following 1997
UBC seismic design coefficients are recommended for the proposed residential

structures. These criteria are based on the soil profile type as determined by existing
subsurface geologic conditions, on the proximity of the Elsinore -Temecula fault and
on the maximum moment magnitude and slip rate.
SOIL CHEMISTRY
Laboratory test results indicate onsite soils contain negligible soluble sulfate contents.
As such, concrete in contact with soil may utilize Type I or II Portland cement. The
laboratory test data for chloride concentration, resistivity and pH indicate onsite soils
may be slightly to moderately corrosive to buried steel in direct contact with onsite
soils.
RETAINING WALLS
Footing Embedments
The base of retaining -wall footings constructed on level ground may be founded at a
minimum depth of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent final grade. Where retaining
walls are proposed on or within 15 feet from the top of any adjacent descending fill
slope, the footings should be deepened such that a minimum horizontal setback of H/3

(one-third the slope height) is maintained between the outside bottom edges of the
footings and the slope face; however, the minimum footing setback should be 5 feet.
The above -recommended minimum footing setbacks are preliminary and may require
revision based on site-specific soil and/or bedrock conditions. All footing trenches
should be observed by the project geotechnical consultant to verify that the footing
trenches have been excavated into competent -bearing soils and/or bedrock and to the
minimum embedments recommended above. These observations should be performed
prior to placing forms or reinforcing steel.
Active and At -Rest Earth Pressures
An active lateral -earth pressure equivalent to a fluid having a density of 35 pounds per
cubic foot (pcf) should tentatively be used for design of cantilevered walls retaining
a drained level backfill. VAhere the wall backfill slopes upward at 2:1 (h:v), the above
value should be increased to 52 pcf. All retaining walls should be designed to resist
any surcharge loads imposed by other nearby walls or structures in addition to the
above active earth pressures.
For design of retaining walls that are restrained at the top, an at -rest earth pressure
equivalent to a fluid having density of 53 pcf should tentatively be used for walls
supporting a level backfill. This value should be increased to 78 pcf for an ascending
2:1 (h:v) backfill.
Drainage
A perforated pipe -and -gravel subdrain should be installed behind all retaining walls
to prevent entrapment of water in the backfill. Perforated pipe should consist of 4 -inch
minimum diameter PVC Schedule 40 or ABS SDR -35, with the perforations laid
down. The pipe should be embedded in 1.5 cubic feet per foot of 0.75- to 1.5 -inch

open -graded gravel wrapped in filter fabric. Filter fabric may consist of Mirafi 140N
or equivalent.
In lieu of a pipe and gravel subdrain, weepholes or open vertical masonry joints may
be considered for retaining walls not exceeding a height of approximately 3 feet.
Weepholes, if used, should be 3 inches minimum diameter and provided at minimum
intervals of 6 feet along the wall. Open vertical masonry joints, if used, should be
provided at 32 -inch minimum intervals. A continuous gravel fill, 12 inches by 12
inches, should be placed behind the weepholes or open masonry joints. The gravel
should be wrapped in filter fabric to prevent infiltration of fines and subsequent
clogging of the gravel. Filter fabric may consist of Mirafi 140N or equivalent.
The backfilled portions of retaining walls should be coated with an approved
waterproofing compound to inhibit infiltration of moisture through the walls.
Temporary Excavations
To facilitate retaining -wall construction, the lower 5 feet of temporary slopes may be
cut vertical and the upper portions exceeding a height of 5 feet should then be cut back
at a maximum gradient of 1:1 (h:v) for the duration of construction. However, all
temporary slopes should be observed by the project geotechnical consultant for any
evidence of potential instability. Depending on the results of these observations, flatter
temporary slopes may be necessary. The potential effects of various parameters, such
as weather, heavy equipment travel, storage near the tops of the temporary excavations
and construction scheduling should also be considered in the stability of temporary
slopes.

Wall Backfill
All retaining -wall backfill should be placed in 6- to 8 -inch maximum lifts, watered or
air-dried as necessary to achieve near -optimum moisture conditions and compacted in
place to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent.
MASONRY BLOCK WALLS
Construction on or Near the Tops of Descending Slopes
Continuous footings for masonry block walls proposed on or within 7 feet from the top
of any descending slope should be deepened such that a minimum horizontal clearance
of -5 feet is maintained between the outside bottom edge of the footing and the slope
face. The footings should be reinforced with a minimum of two No. 4 bars, one top
and one bottom. Plans for any top -of -slope garden walls proposing pier and grade -
beam footings should be reviewed by Petra prior to construction.
Construction on Level Ground
Where masonry block walls are proposed on level ground and 5 feet or more from the
tops of descending slopes, the footings for these walls may be founded at a minimum
depth of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent final grade. These footings should also
be reinforced with a minimum of two No. 4 bars, one top and one bottom.
Construction Joints
In order to mitigate the potential for unsightly cracking related to the effects of
differential settlement, positive separations (construction joints) should be provided
in the walls at horizontal intervals of approximately 25 feet and at each corner. The
separations should be provided in the blocks only and not extend through the footings.

The footings should be placed monolithically with continuous rebars to serve as
effective "grade beams" along the full lengths of the walls.
CONCRETE FLATWORK
Thickness and Joint Spacing
To reduce the potential of unsightly cracking, concrete sidewalks and patio -type slabs
should be 3.5 inches or more thick and provided with construction or expansion joints
every 6 feet or less. Concrete driveway slabs should be 4 inches or more thick and
provided with construction or expansion joints every 10 feet or less.
Suberade Preparation
As a further measure to minimize cracking of concrete flatwork, the subgrade soils
below concrete-flatwork areas should first be compacted to a minimum relative density
of 90 percent and then thoroughly wetted to achieve a moisture content that is at least
equal to or slightly greater than optimum moisture content. This moisture should
extend to a depth of 12 inches below subgrade and maintained in the soils during
placement of concrete. Pre -watering of the soils will promote uniform curing of the
concrete and minimize the development of shrinkage cracks. A representative of the
project soils engineer should observe and verify the density and moisture content of
the soils and the depth of moisture penetration prior to placing concrete.
PLANTERS
Area drains should be extended into all planters that are located within 5 feet of
building walls, foundations, retaining walls and masonry block walls to minimize
excessive infiltration of water into the adjacent foundation soils. The surface of the
ground in these areas should also be sloped at a minimum gradient of 2 percent away

prevent overwatering and subsequent saturation of the adjacent foundation soils.

UTILITY TRENCHES
'
All utility -trench backfill within street right-of-ways, utility easements, under
sidewalks, driveways and building -floor slabs, as well as within or in proximity to
'
density 90 Where
slopes should be compacted to a minimum relative of percent.
onsite soils are utilized as backfill, mechanical compaction will be required. Density
his
testing, along with probing, should be performed by the project soils engineer or
trepresentative,
to verify proper compaction.
For deep trenches with vertical walls, backfill should be placed in approximately 1- to
2 -foot thick maximum lifts and then mechanically compacted with a hydra -hammer,
pneumatic tampers or similar equipment. For deep trenches with sloped -walls, backfill
'
8- 12 lifts
materials should be placed in approximately to -inch thick maximum and
then compacted by rolling with a sheepsfoot tamper or similar equipment.
As an alternative for shallow trenches where pipe may be damaged by mechanical
'
compaction equipment, such as under building -floor slabs, imported clean sand having
a sand equivalent value of 30 or greater may be utilized and jetted or flooded into
'
place. No specific relative compaction will be required, however, observation, probing
and, if deemed necessary, testing should be performed.
To avoid point -loads and subsequent distress to clay, cement or plastic pipe, imported
tsand
bedding should be placed 1 foot or more above all pipe in areas where excavated
trench materials contain significant cobbles. Sand -bedding materials should be
'
thoroughly jetted prior to placement of backfill.

Where utility trenches are proposed parallel to any building footing (interior and/or
exterior trenches), the bottom of the trench should not be located within a 1:1 (h:v)
plane projected downward from the outside bottom edge of the adjacent footing.
SLOPE LANDSCAPING AND MAINTENANCE
The engineered slopes within the subject tract are considered grossly and surficially
stable and are expected to remain so under normal conditions provided the slopes are
landscaped and maintained thereafter in accordance with the following minimum
recommendations.
• Compacted -earth berms should be constructed along the tops of the engineered fill
slopes to prevent water from flowing directly onto the slope surfaces.
The slopes should be landscaped as soon as practical when irrigation water is
available. The landscaping should consist of deep-rooted, drought -tolerant and
maintenance -free plant species. A landscape architect should be consulted to
determine the most suitable groundcover. If landscaping cannot be provided within
a reasonable period of time, jute matting (or equivalent) or a spray -on product
designed to seal slope surfaces should be considered as a temporary measure to
inhibit surface erosion until such time permanent landscape plants have become
well-established.
• Irrigation systems should be installed on the engineered slopes and a watering
program then implemented which maintains a uniform, near -optimum moisture
condition in the soils. Overwatering and subsequent saturation of the slope soils
should be avoided. On the other hand, allowing the soils to dry -out is also
detrimental to slope performance.
• Irrigation systems should be constructed at the surface only. Construction of
sprinkler lines in trenches is not recommended.
• During construction of any terrace drains, downdrains or earth berms, care must be
taken to avoid placement of loose soil on the slope surfaces.
• A permanent slope -maintenance program should be initiated for major slopes not
maintained by individual homeowners. Proper slope maintenance must include the

care of drainage and erosion control provisions, rodent control and repair of leaking
'
or damaged irrigation systems.
• Provided the above recommendations are followed with respect to slope drainage,
maintenance and landscaping, the potential for deep saturation of slope soils is
considered very low.
'
• Property owners should be advised of the potential problems that can develop when
drainage on the building pads and adjacent slopes is altered in any way. Drainage
can be altered due to the placement of fill and construction of garden walls,
'
retaining walls, walkways, patios, swimming pool, spas and planters.
IPOST -GRADING OBSERVATIONS AND TESTING
Petra should be notified at the appropriate times in order that we may provide the
following observation and testing services during the various phases of post grading
' construction.
' Building Construction
- Observe all footing trenches when first excavated to verify adequate depth and
competent soil -bearing conditions.
- Re -observe all footing trenches, if necessary, if trenches are found to be
' excavated to inadequate depth and/or found to contain significant slough,
saturated or compressible soils.
' Observe pre-soaking of subgrade soils below living -area and garage floor slabs
to verify adequate moisture content and penetration.
' Retaining -Wall Construction
- Observe all footing trenches when first excavated to verify adequate depth and
competent soil -bearing conditions.
' - Re -observe all footing trenches, if necessary, if trenches are found to be
excavated to inadequate depth and/or found to contain significant slough,
saturated or compressible soils.

LABORATORY TEST CRITERIA
Laboratory Maximum Dry Density
Maximum dry. density and optimum moisture content were determined for selected samples of soil and bedrock
materials in accordance with ASTM Test Method D1557. Pertinent test values are given on Plates A-1 and A-2.
Expansion Potential
Expansion index tests were performed on selected samples of soil and bedrock materials in accordance with ASTM
Test Method D4829. Expansion potential classifications were determined from 1997 UBC Table 18-1-B on the basis
of the expansion index values. Test results and expansion potentials are presented on Plate A-3.
Soil Chemistry
Chemical analyses were performed on selected samples of onsite soil to determine concentrations of soluble sulfate
and chloride, as well as pH and resistivity. These tests were performed in accordance with California Test Method
Nos. 417 (sulfate), 422 (chloride) and 643 (pH and resistivity). Test results are presented on Plate A-4.
Atterberk Limits
Atterberg limit tests (Liquid Limit and Plastic Index) were performed on selected samples to verify visual
classifications. These tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Test Method D4318. Test results are
presented on Plate B-2.

CAUTION: The digitized data points used to model faults are
limited in number and have been digitized from small
scale maps (e.g., 1:750,000 scale). Consequently,
the estimated fault -site -distances may be in error b
y
several kilometers. Therefore, it is important that
the distances be carefully checked for accuracy and
adjusted as needed, before they are used in design.
