Limits of Report The geotechnical services performed during this phase of construction consisted of observations and testing during the remedial grading operations. Our services were provided on an as -requested basis between November 17 and: December 29, 2017. The approximate limits of grading addressed in this report are shown on the attached Figure 1. Observations and Testing The following observations were made and testing performed: • Prior to the date of our initial field observations, existing structures and foundation elements were demolished and hauled off-site; • Six (6) caisson excavations (12" diameters) were advanced to minimum 8 feet below site grades at the southwestern corner of the site for the planned property line retaining wall; • The building pad was over excavated at least 3 feet below site grades. This overexcavation was performed in stages and extended laterally to a minimum distance of about 2 feet beyond the outside footing edges; • Overexcavation bottoms were scarified, moisture conditioned, and recompacted prior to the placement of engineered compacted fills; and • Engineered compacted fills comprised of on-site soils moisture conditioned and compacted to achieve approximate rough grade elevations. 350 Fischer Ave. Front • Costa Mesa, CA 92626 « P: 714 668 5600 - www.G3SoilWorks.com Walker Custom Homes, Inc. January31, 2018 Report of Geotechnical Observation and Testing Project No. 1-1097 620 Poinsettia Avenue Page 2 of 4 Corona Del Mar, CA 92660 Soil type and laboratory maximum density / optimum moisture content test results are presented in Table I, and field density test results are summarized in Table II. The approximate locations of field density tests are shown on the attached Field Density Test Location Map (Figure 1), utilizing an excerpted portion of the referenced Precise Grading Plan as a base. Fill Placement and Compaction Fills consisting of on-site and materials were placed in lifts, moisture -conditioned to wet of optimum moisture contents and compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction, based on the laboratory maximum dry density (ASTM: D1557). Test Procedures Laboratory maximum dry density / optimum moisture content testing was performed in accordance with ASTM: D1557 test procedures. The results of this testing are summarized in Table I. In-situ density tests were performed utilizing the nuclear density (ASTM: D6938) test method. Test results are presented in Table II. Conclusions and Comments Based upon our observations and the results of testing, it is our opinion that the remedial grading operations observed by our firm and described herein were performed in substantial accordance with the recommendations presented in the referenced report, project plans, and grading requirements of the City of Newport Beach. Completed work under the purview of this report is considered suitable and acceptable for the intended use as of the date of this report. The pad subgrade soils should be observed and retested, as necessary by a representative of our office at the time of on-site construction to verify acceptability the exposed subgrade soils. Limitations This report presents information and data relative to our geotechnical observations and testing performed during the site grading for the planned construction at 620 Poinsettia Avenue, in Corona Del Mar, California. A representative of this firm conducted periodic tests and made observations during the grading operations performed as of the date of our testing. During this time, our field personnel did not direct or supervise the contractor or his work forces. Professional and technical advice and suggestions were provided to the owner and/or his designated representative based on the results of the testing and observations. The results of field density tests reported herein are valid at the locations and depths tested and at the time of testing only. Changes in the condition and properties of compacted fill can occur with the passage of time, whether they be due to natural processes or human activities (such as soil expansion, shrinkage, rainfall, landscape irrigation, rodent activity, and other factors) at or adjacent to the property. Accordingly, the findings of this report may be invalidated wholly or partially by changes outside our control. 350 Fischer Ave. Front o Costa Mesa, CA 92626 + P: 714 668 5600 m www.G3Soi]Works.com Walker Custom Homes, Inc.
