' Scope
This report presents the results of our Foundation Soils Exploration and Pavement
Design Recommendations of the site of the proposed replacement of sewer line for
Project #199 located at Fairview Road between 405 Freeway and Sunflower Avenue,
Costa Mesa, California.
The physical location and approximate dimensions of the site are shown on the
attached Plot Plan, Plate "A". This plans accuracy is as good as was submitted to our
office, for dimension of the property use plans by surveyors or civil engineers.
An investigation was authorized to determine the existing soil conditions at the site and
to provide data and specific recommendations relative to the installation of the new
sewer line in accordance with our revised proposal dated 3-21-13 and Costa Mesa
' Sanitary District Purchase Order No.00001393.
Refer to Appendix II for an explanation of the limitations inherent in the field.
Proposed Construction
Proposed plans are to add a manhole to the existing 8 feet deep sewer line as shown
on Plate "A". The area disturbed by the construction phase will be repaved.
This report is prepared for the client/owner, the project engineers and the governing
agencies. Use of its contents by third parties will be at their own risk.
Chemical testing for detection of hydrocarbons or other potential contaminants is
beyond the scope of this report. Environmental assessment is not a part of the work
' undertaken.
Site Condition
The site of the existing 2000 feet long sewer line has a level surface. It is located along
tthe south side of Fairview Road between the 405 Freeway and Sunflower Avenue.
With reference to the site investigated, all 4 of the contiguous properties are at the same
elevation as the subject area.
Drainage is down towards the north by sheetflow.

Soil Condition
' The on site soil is layers composed of la of p y o sandy clay, silty sand, clayey silt, and
aggregate base, as noted, extending to the depth of the borings 25 feet. Note that soil
variations in soil type may occur between the borings.
For a detailed soil classification refer to logs of the borings, Plates "B-1" through "B-3".
' No ground water was noted; however, some of the soil is moist and i s recommended to
be replaced with imported sandy materials.
Man-placed fill was encountered during the course of the field investigation. All fill
found irrespective of depth or lateral extent must be removed and replaced as
' compacted soil.
Exploration
rThe subsurface was explored by drilling 3 borings, 6 inches in diameter, to a depth of 25
feet below the existing ground surface. The borings were placed in strategic locations
' where the major structure is to be constructed in a manner to determine the subsurface
conditions. Approximate locations of the borings are shown on the attached Plot Plan,
Plate "A".
All of the borings were logged by our soils technician. Samples of both undisturbed and
disturbed soils encountered were obtained for laboratory testing and observation. Logs
' of the borings are shown on Plates "B-1" through "B-3". The soils are classified in
accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System described on an attached Plate.
' This Plate also shows the type of sampler used in obtaining undisturbed samples.
Laboratory Testing
The field moisture content and dry densities of the soils encountered were determined
by performing tests on the undisturbed samples in accordance with ASTM Test Method
D-2216-05. The results of these tests are shown on the Logs of Borings, Plates "B-1"
through "B-3". Density and field moisture information is useful as indicators of the
nature and quality of the material.
Direct shear tests were performed on selected, undisturbed samples of the soils in order
to determine the strengths and supporting capacities of the soils in accordance with
ASTM Test Method D-3080-04. The method of performing these tests is to saturate
the sample, to extrude the sample into the test apparatus, to apply the normal load, and
than to allow sufficient time to elapse to dissipate any excess hydrostatic pressure. The
sample is then subjected to a strain-controlled single plane shear test. The method of
applying the normal and shearing load is such as to allow the sample to change in
volume without producing an associated change in the normal stress. The shearing
stress is measured at a constant rate of strain of approximately 0.05 inches per minute.

' Laboratory Testing (cont'd)
Selected samples of soil were tested at confining pressures similar to those of the
1 materials in-situ. Additional specimens from the same samples were also tested at
increased normal pressures in order to determine the increase in shear strengths
associated with increased inter-granular pressure. The test results are plotted
graphically on Plate "C-1" and "C-2". The resulting values are as follows:
Angle of Internal Cohesion
Soil Type Friction (degrees) (p.s.f.)
' Sandy Clayey Silt 21 420
Sandy Clayey Silt 27 120
Sandy Clayey Silt 26 170
Sandy Clayey Silt 29 185
Consolidation tests were performed on saturated specimens of the typical foundations
soils in accordance with ASTM Test Method D-2435-04. Consolidometers are
designed to receive the undisturbed soil samples and brass rings in the field condition.
Porous stones placed at the top and bottom of each specimen permit free flow of water
into or from the specimen during the test.
' Successive load increments were applied to the top of the specimen and progressive
and final settlements under each increment were recorded to an accuracy of 0.0001
inch. The final settlements so obtained are plotted to determine curves shown on
Plates "D-1" through "D-3".
CONCLUSIONS
' Suitability of the Project
The site is suitable for its intended use, namely an addition of a manhole to the existing,
' 8 feet deep sewer line. In designing the proposed sewer, the criteria given in the design
section should be adhered to.
a) The construction of this project will not affect the stability of the surrounding
structures, such as walls, electric poles, etc., provided all precautions needed are
followed.
b) The latest applicable unified building code is to be followed as required.
c) This report is subject to approval by the governing agencies.

Strength Characteristics
The load bearing soils possess strength parameters adequate to support the proposed
construction.
Expansion Potential
The on site surficial soil is classified as slightly expansive with an expansion index of 34
as per 2010 CBC/ASTM D-4829-03.
' Sand Equivalency Test Results

Location (SE) Remarks
Boring 2 @ 5' 4 None of the samples are acceptable for jetting, if the
Boring 2 @ 10' 3 native is used for backfill, it must be compacted and
Boring 2 @ 15' 2 tested to 90%. Failure to do so will result in consolidation
producing differential settlement and cracks
Resistance "R" Value
Resistance "R" Value Criteria is presented on Plate "R".
Chemical Test Data
The on site soil at an approximate depth of 12 to 18 inches was tested for the following
' chemical content.
pH = 7.2
Sulphate = 333 ppm
Resistivity = 4,690 ohm cms
Based on the above test data, special cement concrete may be needed. See 2010
CBC/ACI 318 Section 4.3 Table 4.3.1, and Section 4.4, Table 4.4.1. Special
protection is not required for the underground metallic utility pipes, for corrosives.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Bearing Value
A bearing value of 1,500 p.s.f. may be used.
The above bearing values may be increased 1/3 when resisting loads caused by wind or
seismic forces, providing the resultant size is not less than that obtained with dead load
and live load only.
I
Earth Pressures
Lateral loads will be resisted by the friction between the floor slab and sub-grade as well
as the passive resistance of the soils against footings. A coefficient of friction of 0.35
may be used between slabs, footings and sub-grade.
The passive resistance of the soil may be taken to be 240 p.c.f. of E.F.P.
The active lateral soil pressure may be taken as 45 p.c.f. of E.F.P.
Pavement Design
' Based on the test results, the design sections for Fairview Road given below should be
approved or amended as necessary by the city prior to construction. It is recommended
that matching the existing pavement thickness would be sufficient.

Excavation and Temporary Shoring
1 Excavations on the order of 12 to14 feet will be required for the proposed sewer-line
replacement at the subject site.
' Temporary excavations up to a height of 5 feet can be cut vertically. If space is available
un-shored excavations in excess of 5 feet must be must be laid back at a minimum
slope of 1.5:1::H:V (above 5 feet). See attached Plate "TIED".

' Excavation and Temporary Shoring (cont'd)
Where there is insufficient room for sloped excavations, mechanical shoring plates
' (standard city specifications may be used). We recommend that Geo-Etka, Inc.
observe the excavations and shoring installation, so that necessary modifications based
' on variations in the soil conditions can be made. Applicable safety requirements and
regulations, including OSHA regulations, should be met. All groundwater was not
encountered during the current investigations in the area of the proposed excavations.
' Caving was not noted in the borings performed; however the chances of caving will
increase within larger scale excavations and should be anticipated in particularly
granular material.
Demolition and Tree Removal
Special note should be taken during the grading so as to locate all underground items,
e.g. pipe, conduit, storage tanks, septic tanks, cesspools or leach lines, water wells,
' irrigation pipe, etc.
Any septic tank found should be removed from the site.
Any seepage pit or cesspool found shall be pumped dry and filled with 2- sack slurry
concrete. The top and sides should be broken and removed if they are within 5 feet of
' finished grade. If a water-well is found it shall be cut off and capped, 5 feet below
finished grade.
Any metal pipe found shall be excavated and cleared from the site. Any vitrified clay
leaching lines may be broken in place.
Any tree that has to be removed, due to the construction, should be completely
removed and the cavity backfilled as described in the grading section.
1 Any root found shall be excavated and cleared from the site or mulched for future
landscaping use.
All cavities should be cut in a "V" shape so that compaction equipment will not bridge
during grading which should be conducted in the manner noted below.
It is recommended that the demolition be observed so as to prevent debris from
remaining on or being buried on site. The demolition of the below grade items such as
pipes and tree root systems must be checked by the soil engineer or his representative.

Grading
Prior to the controlled grading operations, the construction area should be stripped of all
vegetation that is present and the debris removed from the site or stockpiled and
mulched for later use in the planter areas.
All disturbed soil from demolition process, loose, porous, soft and fill soil found during
grading must be removed to firm native soil and replaced as compacted soil at 90%.
During the course of grading operations, if pumping occurs it is advisable to bridge the
bottom with a crushed or angular 1-inch rock layer at least 2 feet thick. Note that in no
' case should crushed miscellaneous base or washed rounded rock be utilized. A sieve
analysis must be run by this office prior to import.
The densification of the rock should be observed/probed and approved by a
representative of this office; in such cases lightweight track equipment is recommended.
' A moderate amount of grading is anticipated in the development of this site, with
upto 10 feet of trench depth to be backfilled upon installation of the manhole.
It is recommended that all surface which is loose which will receive fill or backfill, be
scarified to a depth of 8 inches, dried to near Optimum Moisture Content and re-
compacted to a minimum of 90%.
' Due to the high moisture content, low sand equivalency, expansive clayey materials,
and in consideration of the high traffic volume with the limitations from closure of traffic,
' it is our recommendation that all of the excavated materials be removed from the site.
Upon the installation of the new manhole, the excavation should be backfilled using
non-expansive sandy materials.
Where fill or backfill is required, it should be placed in a maximum of 6-inch loose layers
and each layer compacted at near Optimum Moisture Content to at least 90%
compaction. Clean on site soils may be utilized as fill material. Imported fill soil should
be predominantly granular, non-expansive and capable of developing the bearing
strength required for the project. All import soil must be approved by this office prior to
bringing to the site.
All utility trenches backfilled should be tested at a maximum of 2 feet in vertical height.
The City of Costa Mesa (CMSD) standard specifications for trench backfill inclusive of
bedding material is acceptable and are a part of this report.
'
Compaction Standard: A.S.T.M. D-1557-02.
A grading and a sewer plan should be submitted to this office prior to starting the
grading. A pre-grade meeting is required in accordance with the City of Costa Mesa
' grading code.
