G e,
The irrigation system is connected to the existing domestic water meter serving the residence. The
plans call for a dedicated RP backflow device with a master valve and flow sensor. These items were not
installed but backflow prevention is provided at the remote -control valves. As most residences do not
have a dedicated RP backflow device with a master valve and flow sensor, the installed irrigation system
will function per industry standard practices. It was observed during the audit that the (8) remote
control valves specified on the irrigation plans were condensed down to (5) remote control valves.
1) Evaluation:
Not all drip valves have filters and pressure regulators installed.
Recommendation:
Install drip filters and pressure regulators on all drip valves.

This report presents the results of our observation and testing services performed during the
construction -phase activities for the property located at 1806 Marapata Drive in Corona del Mar,
California. The purpose for our geotechnical services was to observe and document the
earthwork operations including trench backfills and hardscape subgrades at the site. We
understand that the earthwork is now completed and no further grading or earthwork is to be
done. This report may, therefore, be considered to be a final report of earthwork observation
and testing. Based on our observations, and review of the test results, it is our opinion that the
earthwork was performed in substantial conformance with the City of Newport Beach and
project grading requirements.

SITE LOCATION
The subject property is located on the north side of Marapata Drive east of the intersection with
Sabrina Terrace in Corona del Mar, California.
GRADING AND EARTHWORK
A. General
The observation and testing reported herein includes the footing excavations for the
house, garage, swimming pool and retaining walls. The slab subgrade, swimming pool
excavation, retaining wall footing excavations, retaining wall subdrains, retaining wall
backfill, trench backfills and hardscape subgrade were also observed and tested.
B. Fill Placement and Comoaction
Fill and backfill material consisted of on-site silty sand/clayey sand, and imported sand
and gravel. Equipment used for compaction during the construction phase activities
included hand -operated mechanical equipment and water hoses.
Building pad and site grading was observed and tested as previously reported in
Reference 2.

• Foundation and slab areas for the house, garage and patio structures were
observed periodically during the construction and approved from a geotechnical
standpoint.
• Interior plumbing trenches were backfilled with compacted on-site soils.
• Slab subgrade soils were checked for moisture content and determined to meet
the pre-soaking recommendations in our referenced reports.
• The retaining wall and planter wall footing excavations were observed prior to
the installation of steel reinforcement and concrete and approved from a
geotechnical standpoint.
• The swimming pool excavation was observed prior to the installation of steel
reinforcement and concrete and approved from a geotechnical standpoint.
• Retaining wall backfill and drainage was observed and/or tested. The swimming
pool walls were backfilled with 3/a inch gravel, which was moisture conditioned
and compacted.
• The utility trenches (sewer, gas, and water) were backfilled with on-site and
imported granular soil. Trench backfills were observed and tested/probed and
determined to be adequately compacted.
• The front, rear, and side yard hardscape subgrade soils were observed
periodically during construction. Hardscape subgrades consisted of on-site and
imported granular soils and were determined to be adequately compacted.
The maximum depth of backfill placed was approximately 9.5 feet adjacent to the
swimming pool.
Based on the results of our field density testing, it is our opinion that a minimum of
90 percent relative compaction was achieved within the areas tested. Density tests were
performed in accordance with ASTM D6938 (the Nuclear Gauge Method). Areas of
prepared subgrades, backfills and footing excavations were also probed to check
compaction. Field Density Test Results are tabulated in Table 1, Results of Field Density
Tests. The approximate locations of density tests are included on the Geotechnical Plot
Plan, Figure 1.
Representative samples of the site soils used as fill were returned to the laboratory for
testing. Laboratory tests for maximum density and optimum moisture content were
performed in accordance with ASTM D1557 (the Five Layer Method). The results are
presented in Table 2, Laboratory Maximum Dry Density/Optimum Moisture Relationship.
Testing was performed on representative areas to render a professional opinion as to
the compaction of fill materials. Itis our opinion that sufficient testing was performed to
arrive at the conclusions stated herein; however, this is an opinion and is not a warranty
that all fill materials are at 90 percent relative compaction.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A. General
Based upon field observations and test results, it is our opinion that grading and
compaction described herein was accomplished in accordance with the project
requirements and the grading requirements of the City of Newport Beach. Field density
testing indicated that a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction was achieved at the
locations tested.
Based on the observations and testing, the described fill and backfill materials placed at
the site are considered suitable for the intended use.
B. Drainage and Drainaoe Devices
The performance of the planned foundation and improvements is dependent upon
maintaining adequate surface drainage both during and after construction. The ground
surface around foundations and improvements should be graded so that surface water
will not collect and pond. The impact of heavy irrigation can artificially create perched
water conditions. This may result in seepage or shallow groundwater conditions where
previously none existed.
Attention to surface drainage and controlled irrigation will significantly reduce the
potential for future problems related to water infiltration. Irrigation should be well
controlled and minimized. Seasonal adjustments should be made to prevent excessive
watering.
Sources of uncontrolled water, such as leaky water pipes or drains, should be repaired if
identified.
The Owner should be aware of the potential problems that could develop when drainage
is altered through construction of retaining walls, paved walkways, utility installations or
other various improvements. Ponded water, incorrect drainage, leaky irrigation systems,
overwatering or other conditions that could lead to unwanted groundwater infiltration
must be avoided.
C. Subsequent Grading Ooerations
Prior to the commencement any future on-site earthwork we recommend to the Owner
that a geotechnical engineer be notified to provide appropriate recommendations and
observation and testing services as required.
Our description of grading operations, as well as observations and testing, has been limited to
those grading operations observed between February 8, 2018 and June 4, 2019. This report
