Attention: Mr. Gary McCoy
Subject: Geotechnical Report of Rough Grading, Lots 122 through 129
(Phase 10), Tract 23066-3, Temecula Area, Riverside County,
California
This report presents a summary of the observation and testing services provided by
Petra Geotechnical, Inc. (Petra) during rough -grading of Lots 122 through 129
(Phase 10) within Tract 23066-3 located in the Temecula area of Riverside County,
California. Conclusions and recommendations pertaining to the suitability of the
grading for the proposed residential construction are provided herein, as well as
foundation -design recommendations based on the as -graded soil conditions.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Cuts, removals and compaction of unsuitable low-density surface soils, transition -lot
overexcavations and capping and placement of compacted fill under the purview of
this report have been completed under the observation and with selective testing by
Petra. The earthwork was performed in accordance with the recommendations
presented in previous geotechnical reports by Petra (see References) and the grading
code of the County of Riverside.
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 in the area and
no further warranty is implied nor made.
SUMMARY OF AS -GRADED SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
As -Graded Conditions and Remedial Grading
Remedial grading included surficial overexcavations on the order of 3 to 22 feet deep
and the overexcavation and fill placement within the cut portions of cut/fill transition
lots. The compacted fills ranged in thickness from approximately 3 to 45 feet. A lot -
by -lot summary of the compacted -fill depths and a summary of soil conditions is
presented in the attached Table I. A general description of the as -graded soil and
bedrock materials underlying the subject lots is provided below and are shown on the
attached Geotechnical Map with Density Test Locations (Figure 1).
• Artificial Fill - Compacted (map symbol afc) — Compacted -fill soils were
comprised of onsite -derived and imported soil and bedrock materials and consisted
generally of fine to coarse sand, silty sand and clayey sand. Imported materials
were generated from adjacent properties.
• Pauba Formation Bedrock (Ons) — In general, the Pauba Formation consisted of
dense, fine-grained and well -graded sandstones, clayey sandstone and clay beds
with occasional gravel and cobble beds. A cross -bedded, well -graded, friable sand
unit was also observed within the bedrock.
SUMMARY OF EARTHWORK
OBSERVATIONS AND DENSITY TESTING
Clearing and Grubbing
Heavy vegetation that existed in localized areas, as well as some construction debris,
were removed from the site.

Ground Preparation
Prior to placing structural fill, existing low-density surficial soils or weathered bedrock
were first removed to competent undisturbed bedrock. Overexcavations varied from
approximately 3 to 22 feet.
Prior to placing fill, exposed bottom surfaces in removal areas were observed by a
Petra representative. Following this observation, 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 slightly above optimum moisture content and
then compacted by rolling with large self-propelled compactors and loaded scrapers.
Subdrain
A subdrain system consisting of 6 -inch diameter perforated pipe and gravel enclosed
with filter fabric was installed adjacent to the westerly side of an existing canyon. The
approximate location of the subdrain is shown on the attached Figure 1.
Cut/Fill Transition Lots
To reduce the potential for distress to residential structures related to the differential
settlement, the cut portions of cut/fill transition Lots 122, 123, 128 and 129 were
overexcavated to a depth of approximately 3 to 10 feet below finish grade and capped
with compacted fill derived from onsite materials.
Fill Placement and Testine
Fill soils were placed in thin lifts, watered or air-dried as necessary to achieve near -
optimum moisture conditions and then compacted in-place. Compaction was achieved
by wheel -rolling with an 824 rubber -tired loader and loaded scrapers. The deepest fill
placed within the subject lots was approximately 45 feet on Lot 125.

Field density and moisture content tests were performed in accordance with nuclear -
gauge test methods (ASTM D2922 and D3017). Occasional field density tests were
also performed in accordance with the sand -cone method (ASTM D1556). Field
' density test results are presented in the attached Table U and approximate test locations
' are shown on Figure 1.
Field density tests were taken at vertical intervals of approximately 1 to 2 feet. The
' compacted fills were tested at the time of placement to document that the specified
moisture content and relative compaction had been achieved. One in-place density test
was taken for approximately each 1,000 cubic yards of fill placed and/or for each
approximately 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 earthmovers
' (scrapers) and availability of support equipment. When field density tests produced
results less than the specified relative compaction of 90 percent or if the soils were
' found to be above or below a recommended 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 dry density value was applicable for a given density test.
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory Maximum Dry Density
' Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for changes in soil types
observed during grading were determined in our laboratory in accordance with
' ASTM 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. These tests were performed in
accordance with ASTM D4829. Test results indicated soils near pad grade have a
' VERY LOW expansion potential and are summarized in Appendix A.
' Soluble Sulfate Analyses
Soluble sulfate contents were determined for a representative sample of soil existing
' at or near finish grade within the subject lots. These tests were performed in
accordance with California Test Method (CTM) No. 417. Test results are provided in
' Appendix A. Test results indicated that soluble -sulfate contents were negligible.
Therefore, according to 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC) Table 19-A-4, no special
' cement is specified for concrete to be placed in contact with onsite soils. However, we
recommend that Type H cement be used for concrete. For concrete in contact with the
' soil, we recommend that 3 inches or more of concrete be placed over reinforcing steel.
Chloride Resistivity and pH Analyses
Water-soluble chloride concentration, resistivity and pH values were determined for
selected samples in accordance with CTM Nos. 422 (chloride) and 643 (resistivity and
' pH). The results of these analyses are provided in Appendix A. Test results indicated
that soils were moderately corrosive to ferrous metal. Ferrous metal pipe, if used,
' should be corrosion -protected or an alternative piping that is not subject to corrosion,
such as plastic pipe, should be used.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Foundation -Design Recommendations
' Foundation Types
' Based on as -graded soil and geologic conditions, the use of conventional spread
footings with slab -on -grade foundations is considered feasible for the subject lots.
' Allowable Soil -Bearing Capacities
An allowable soil -bearing capacity of 1,500 pounds per square foot (psf) may be used
for 24 -inch square pad footings and 12 -inch wide continuous footings founded at a
depth of 12 inches or more below the lowest adjacent final grade or top -of -slab. This
value may be increased by 20 percent for each additional foot of depth, to a value of
' 2,500 psf. 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 total settlement of building
footings.is anticipated to be less than approximately 3/4 inch. Differential settlement
' over a horizontal distance of 30 feet is expected to be about one-half the total
settlement. The anticipated differential settlement 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 value of up to 2,500 psf may
be used to determine lateral -bearing resistance for building footings. Where structures
' such as masonry block walls and retaining walls are planned on or near descending

Page 7
slopes, the passive earth pressure should be reduced to 150 psf per foot of depth to a
' value of up to 1,500 psf. An increase of one-third of the above values may also be
used when designing for short -duration wind and seismic forces. In addition, a
' coefficient of friction of 0.35 times the dead -load forces may also be used between
concrete and the supporting soils to determine lateral -sliding resistance.
The above values are based on footings placed directly against compacted fill or Pauba
' Formation sandstone. In the case where footing sides are formed, backfill against the
footings should be compacted to 90 percent or more of the maximum dry density.
Footing Observations
' Footing trenches should be observed by a representative of Petra to document that they
' have been excavated into competent -bearing soils and to the recommended
embedments. The foundation excavations should be observed prior to the placement
of forms, reinforcement or concrete. The excavations should be trimmed neat, level
and square. Loose, sloughed or moisture -softened soil and construction debris should
be removed prior to placing concrete. Excavated soils derived from footing
excavations should not be placed within slab -on -grade areas.
IExpansive Soil Considerations
Laboratory testing of soils within the site indicate soils exhibit VERY LOW
expansion potential as classified in accordance with 1997 UBC Table 18 -I -B.
' Very Low Expansion Potential (Expansion Index of 20 or less)
' The results of our laboratory tests indicate that onsite soils of the subject lots exhibit
VERY LOW expansion potential as classified in accordance with 1997 UBC
Table 18 -I -B. For this condition, it is recommended that footings and floors be
constructed and reinforced in accordance with the following criteria. However,

additional slab thickness, footing sizes and/or reinforcement may be required by the
iproject architect or structural engineer.
• FootinQs
- Standard depth footings may be used with respect to building code requirements
for the planned construction (i.e., 12 inches deep for one-story construction and
18 inches deep for two stories). Interior continuous footings for one- or two-
story construction may be founded at a depth of 12 inches or greater below the
top -of -slab.
- Continuous footings should be reinforced with two No. 4 bars, one top and one
bottom and as recommended by the structural engineer.
Isolated pad footings should be 24 inches or more square and founded at a depth
of 12 inches or more below the lowest adjacent final grade or top -of -slab and
reinforced in accordance with the recommendations of the structural engineer.
IFloor Slabs
Living -area concrete -floor slabs should be 4 inches or more thick and reinforced
with either 6x6 -W 1.4xW 1.4 welded -wire mesh or with No. 3 bars spaced 24
inches on -centers, both ways. Slab reinforcement should be properly supported
so that placement is mid -depth.
- Living -area concrete floors should be underlain with a moisture -vapor retardant
consisting of 6 -mil thick polyethylene membrane or equivalent. Two inches or
more of clean sand should be placed over the membrane to promote uniform
curing of the concrete.
- Garage -floor slabs should be 4 inches or more thick and placed separately from
' adjacent wall footings with a positive separation maintained with 3/8 inch 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
two No. 4 bars, one top and one bottom and in accordance with the
recommendations of the structural engineer.

Prior to placing concrete, subgrade soils should be thoroughly moistened to
' promote uniform curing of the concrete and reduce the development of
shrinkage cracks.
SEISMIC -DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
rGround 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 150 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 west of the
site, could generate severe site ground motions with an anticipated maximum moment
tmagnitude of 7.1 and anticipated slip rate of 5.0 mm/year. However, the closest
Type B fault, which is the Elsinore -Temecula located approximately 1.3 kilometers to

the southwest of Tract 23066-3, 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.
RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls are not currently proposed within the subject site. The following
retaining and masonry wall information is being provided to assist the future
homeowners in the event they construct retaining walls within their lots.
Footing Embedments
The base of retaining -wall footings constructed on level ground may be founded at a
depth of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent final grade. Where retaining walls are
constructed on or within 15 feet from the top of adjacent descending fill slope, the
footings should be deepened such that a 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 footing setback should be 5 feet or more. The above -recommended
footing setbacks are preliminary and may require revision based on site-specific soil
and/or bedrock conditions. Footing excavations should be observed by the project
geotechnical consultant to document that they have been excavated into competent -
bearing soils and/or bedrock and to the embedments recommended above. These
observations should be performed prior to placing forms or reinforcing steel.
Active Earth Pressures
An active lateral -earth pressure equivalent to a fluid having a density of 40 pounds per
cubic foot (pcf) may be used for design of cantilevered walls retaining a drained, level
granular backfill. Where the wall backfill slopes upward at 2:1 (h:v), the above value
should be increased to 63 pcf. Retaining walls should be designed to resist surcharge
loads imposed by other nearby walls or structures in addition to the above active earth
pressures.
Drainage
A perforated pipe -and -gravel subdrain should be installed behind retaining walls up
to 6 feet in height to reduce the likelihood of entrapment of water in the backfill.
Perforated pipe should consist of 4 -inch diameter or larger 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 or more in diameter and provided at intervals
of 6 feet or less along the wall. Open vertical masonry joints, if used, should be

provided at no more than 32 -inch 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 reduce the likelihood of infiltration of fines and
subsequent clogging of the gravel. Filter fabric may consist of Mirafi 140N or
' equivalent.
Retaining walls greater than 6 feet high should be provided with a continuous
' backdrain for the full height of the wall. This drain could consist of a geosynthetic
drainage composite, such as Miradrain 6000 or equivalent or a permeable drain
material, placed against the entire backside of the wall. If a permeable drain material
' is used, the backdrain should be 1 or more feet thick. Caltrans Class H permeable
material or open -graded gravel or crushed stone (described above) may be used as
permeable drain material. If gravel or crushed stone is used, it should have less than
5 percent material passing the No. 200 sieve. The drain should be separated from the
' backfill with a geofabric. The upper 1 foot of the backdrain should be covered with
compacted -fill. A drainage pipe consisting of 4 -inch diameter perforated pipe
(described above) should be provided along the back of the wall. The pipe should be
placed with perforations down. The drain and pipe should be sloped at 2 percent or
' more and discharge to an appropriate outlet through a solid pipe. If a geosynthetic
drainage composite is used, the perforated pipe should be surrounded by I cubic foot
' per foot of gravel or crushed rock wrapped in a filter fabric. The pipe should outlet
away from structures and slopes and the wall should be appropriately waterproofed.
The backfilled portions of retaining walls should be coated with an approved
waterproofing compound to inhibit migration of moisture through the walls.
' Temporary Excavations
' To facilitate retaining -wall construction, temporary excavations greater than 5 feet
should be cut back at a gradient of 1:1 (h:v) or flatter for the duration of construction.

However, temporary slopes should be observed by the project geotechnical consultant
for evidence of potential instability. Depending on the results of these observations,
flatter temporary slopes may be recommended. The potential effectsof 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 BackSll
Retaining -wall backfill should be placed in 6- to 8 -inch loose lifts, watered or air-dried
as necessary to achieve near -optimum -moisture conditions and compacted in place to
a relative compaction of 90 percent or more as evaluated by ASTM D1557.
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 descending slopes should be deepened such that a 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 two No. 4 bars, one top and one bottom for Very
Low expansion soils and in accordance with the recommendations provided by
structural engineer. Plans for top -of -slope block 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 depth of 12
inches below the lowest adjacent final grade. These footings should also be reinforced

with two No. 4 bars, one top and one bottom for Very Low expansion soils and in
' accordance with the recommendations of the structural engineer.
1 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
Concrete sidewalks and patio -type slabs should be 4 inches or more thick and provided
with construction joints every 6 feet or less. Concrete -driveway slabs should be 4
inches or more thick and provided with construction joints quartering the slab, but no
more than 10 feet apart.
Subg_rade Preparation
' As a further measure to reduce cracking of concrete flatwork, the subgrade soils below
concrete- fl atwork areas should first be compacted to a relative density of 90 percent
or more, as evaluated by ASTM D1557, and then wetted to achieve a moisture content
' that is 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 reduce the development of shrinkage cracks. A representative of

' Page 15
the project soils engineer should observe and document 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 planters that are located within 5 feet of building
walls, foundations, retaining walls and masonry block garden walls to reduce
infiltration of water into the adjacent foundation soils. The surface of the ground in
these areas should also be sloped at a gradient of 2 percent or more away from the
walls and foundations. Drip -irrigation systems are also recommended to reduce the
likelihood of overwatering and subsequent saturation of the adjacent foundation soils.
' UTILITY TRENCHES
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 slopes should
be compacted to a relative density of 90 percent or more as evaluated by ASTM
' D1557. Soils utilized as backfill should be mechanically compacted. Density testing,
' along with probing, should be performed by the project soils engineer or his
representative, to document proper compaction.
' For trenches with vertical walls, backfill should be placed in approximately 1- to 2 -
foot thick loose lifts and then mechanically compacted with a hydra -hammer,
pneumatic tampers or similar equipment. For trenches with sloped -walls, backfill
materials should be placed in approximately 8- to 12 -inch thick loose lifts and then
' compacted by rolling with a sheepsfoot tamper or similar equipment.
' To avoid point -loads and subsequent distress to clay, cement or plastic pipe, imported
sand bedding should be placed 1 foot or more above pipe in areas where excavated
' RICHMOND AMERICAN HOMES October 24, 2003
TR 23066-3 Lots 122-129 Phase 10/Temecula Area J.N. 188-01
' Page 16
trench materials contain significant cobbles. Bedding materials should be
mechanically compacted to 90 percent or more relative compaction as evaluated by
ASTM D1557 and tested. Flooding of sand bedding should not be allowed.
Where utility trenches are proposed parallel to building footings (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
' recommendations.
• Compacted -earth berms should be constructed along the tops of the engineered fill
slopes, as well as natural slopes, to reduce the likelihood of water from flowing
directly onto the slope surfaces.
The engineered cut and fill 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 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 reduce surface erosion until such a time that permanent landscape plants
have become well-established.
• Irrigation systems should be installed on the engineered slopes and a watering
t 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.
' RICHMOND AMERICAN HOMES October 24, 2003
TR 23066-3 Lots 122-129 Phase 10/Temecula Area J.N. 188-01
Page 17
• Irrigation systems should be constructed at the surface only. Construction of
sprinkler lines in trenches is not recommended.
• During construction of terrace drains, downdrains or earth berms, care should 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 should 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 low.
' Property owners should be advised of the potential problems that can develop when
drainage on the building pads and adjacent slopes are altered. Drainage can be
altered due to the placement of fill and construction of garden walls, retaining
walls, walkways, patios, swimming pools, spas and planters.
' POST -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

APPENDIX A
LABORATORY TEST CRITERIA
Laboratory Maximum Dry Density
Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content were determined for selected samples of soil in accordance with
ASTM Test Method D1557. Pertinent test values are presented on Plate A -l.
Expansion Index
Expansion index tests were performed on selected samples of soil in accordance with ASTM Test Method D4829.
Expansion potential classifications were determined from 1997 UBC Table 18 -I -B on the basis of the expansion index
values. Test results and expansion potentials are presented on Plate A-1.
Corrosion Tests
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 included on Plate A-1.
Soluble Sulfate
Chemical analysis was performed on a selected sample of onsite soil to determine concentrations of soluble sulfate.
This test was performed in accordance with California Test Method No. 417. The test result is included on
Plate A-2.
