Subject: Plan Check Comments No. 08-1308
Ref: Report of Observations and Testing During Building Pad Grading prepared by
Sladden Engineering dated September 2, 2008; Project No. 522-08201,
Report No. 08-09-469
This memo has been prepared in response to plan check comments received from the City of La
Quinta following the review of the above referenced Grading Report. This memo has been
revised from our previous memo dated October 14, 2008 to include additional information
obtained after additional research of previous projects that Sladden Engineering has performed
in the area.
As previously indicated, the plan check comments. reflect typical requirements for preliminary
soil reports or geotechnical reports. Although we were not requested or retained to perform a
geotechnicalinvestigation on this site, we have performed geotechnical reports for several nearby
lots that in our opinion should be applicable to the proposed development of the subject lot. The
previous .geotechnical reports include the report referenced below previously prepared for our
client (Mr. Joe Birdsell) as well as several reports prepared for others. A review of the previous
reports indicates that the soil conditions are fairly consistent throughout the area. The near
surface soil in the area is typically comprised of silty sand and sandy silt. .The native soil is
typically somewhat loose and may be compressible and susceptible to hydro -consolidation
related settlements in the native condition. It should be noted however that because the La
Quinta Country Club development has been in existence for over 40 years and the subject lot was
previously developed, the majority of the potentially collapsible sand and silt layers have been
wetted as a result of long-term irrigation and the presence of septic systems. The in-situ moisture
content provided on the attached bore log indicates each of the silt and clay layers typically
susceptible to hydro -collapse is nearly saturated (moisture content of 17 to 31 percent). Similar
conditions were observed directly across the street from the subject lot at 49-128 Avenida
Fernando.
October 31, 2008 -2- Project No. 544-2184
(Revised) 08-10-535R
As indicated within the above referenced Report of Observations and Testing During Building
Pad Grading, the site was over -excavated in accordance with the remedial grading
recommendations provided in our Geotechnical Investigation dated May 31, 2006 (Project No.
544-06370, Report No. 06-06-557) a copy of which is attached to this memo. The over -excavation
is intended to. provide a uniform mat of compacted soil beneath the footings to help limit future
differential settlements. It is our opinion that the remedial over -excavation performed on the site
adequately addresses settlement and hydro -consolidation problems.. In addifibn, the mixing and
blending of the surface soil during remedial grading has resulted in'a uniform engineered fill
comprised of silty sand that is non -expansive.

INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our Geotechnical Investigation performed to provide recommendations
for the design and construction of the foundations for the proposed single-family residences. The project
site is located on lots 114 and 117 within the La Quinta Golf Club in the City of La Quinta, California. The
preliminary plans indicate that the project will include a 2 -lot residential development. The associated
site improvements will include concrete driveways, concrete walkways, various underground utilities,
and landscape areas.
SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of our investigation Was to determine certain engineering characteristics of the near surface.
soil on the site to develop recommendations for residential foundation design and site preparation. Our
investigation included field exploration, laboratory tests, engineering analysis and the preparation of this
report. Evaluation of environmental issues or hazardous wastes was not within the scope of services
provided. Our investigation was performed in accordance with contemporary geotechnical engineering
principles and practice.' We do not make other warranty, either express or implied.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located on near the south end of Avenida El Nido on lots 114 and 117 within the La
Quinta Country Club in the City of La Quinta, California. The preliminary plans indicate that the project.
will include a 2 -lot residential development. The lots are identified by Assessors Parcel Numbers 658-
290-043 (Lot 114) and. 658-290-142 (Lot'117). It is our understanding that the proposed residential
structures will be of relatively lightweight wood -frame construction .and will be, supported by
conventional shallow spread footings. The associated site improvements will include concrete
driveways, concrete walkways, landscape areas and various underground utilities:
It is our understanding that lots were previously'occupied by residential structures. The ground surface
is presently clear of most vegetation and debris from the previous structures. The project site is basically
level and near the same elevation of the adjacent lots. Site grading including minor cuts and fills will be
required to construct level building pads and to accommodate site drainage. Avenida El Nido and a
frontage road form the eastern and western property boundaries, respectively. The properties to the
north and south of the site are occupied by a single-family residences. There are existing underground
utilities along the existing roadways and possibly traversing the site.
Based upon our previous experience with lightweight wood -frame structures, we expect that isolated
column loads will be less than .20 kips and wall loading will be less than to 2.0 kips per linear foot.
Grading.is expected to include cuts and fills to match the nearby elevations and to construct the building
pads and to accommodate site drainage. This does not include removal and recompaction of the bearing
soil within the -building areas. If the anticipated foundation loading or. site grading varies substantially
from that assumed, the recommendations included in this report should be reevaluated.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The site is underlain primarily by silty fine-grained sand with scattered silty clay and clayey silt layers.
The silty sand, silt and clay layers varied in composition and in thickness. In general, the site soil is
somewhat loose near the surface but density generally increases with depth. The site soil was found to be
relatively dry near the surface but generally moist below a depth of approximately 5 feet within our
exploratory bores.
Laboratory classification tests indicate that the near surface soil consists primarily of silty fine-grained
sand, clayey silt and silty clay. Expansion tests indicate that the surface soil is non -expansive and falls
within the "very low" expansion category in accordance with the Uniform Building Code classification
system. The somewhat loose and dry conditions suggest that the near surface soil may be susceptible to
detrimental settlements because of the anticipated foundation loading and the introduction of water.
Groundwater was not encountered within our bores and is expected to be in excess of 60 feet below the
existing ground surface. Groundwater should not be a factor in foundation design or construction.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based upon our field and laboratory investigation, it is our opinion that the proposed single-family
residences are feasible from a'soil mechanic's standpoint provided that the recommendations included in
this report are considered in building foundation design and site preparation. Because of the loose and
potentially .compressible conditions of some of the near surface soil remedial grading including
overexcavation'and recompaction is recommended for the proposed building areas. We recommend that
remedial grading within. the proposed building areas include overexcavation and recompaction of the
primary foundation bearing soil to provide a uniform mat of compacted soil beneath the building
foundations.' Specific recommendations for site .preparation are presented' in the Site Grading section of
this report.
Groundwater was not encountered within our bores and groundwater is expected to be in excess of 60
feet below the existing ground surface in .the vicinity of the site. Because of the depth to groundwater,
specific liquefaction analyses were not performed. Based upon the depth to groundwater, the potential
for liquefaction and the related surficial affects of liquefaction impacting the site are considered
negligible:
Based on our review of published and unpublished geotechnical maps and literature pertaining.to site,
the San Andreas Fault (approximately 11.7 kilometers to ,the northeast of the site) would probably
generate the most severe site ground motions with an anticipated maximum moment magnitude (MW) of
7.1.

A probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) was performed to evaluate the likelihood of future
earthquake ground motions at the site. The computer program FRISKSP Version 4 was used to perform
the analysis (Blake, 2000). Based upon the results of subsurface characterization at the project site, the
attenuation relationships by Abrahamson and Silva (1997), Sadigh, et al. (1997), Boore, et. al. (1997), and
Campbell and Bozorgnia (1997) that is pertinent to shallow crustal earthquakes was used in the PSHA.
We used magnitude weighting to derive the peak ground acceleration as recommended by Martin and
Lew of SCEC (1999) and consistent with the recommendations by NCEER (Youd and Idriss, 1997) for
liquefaction analysis. According.to our PSHA, the site could be subjected to peak ground acceleration on
the order of 0.498 for an.earthquake having a 10 percent probability of exceeded in 50 years (475-year-
return
475-yearreturn period).
Caving did occur within each of our exploratory bores and the surface_ soil will be susceptible to caving
within deeper excavations. All excavations should be constructed in accordance with the normal
CalOSHA excavation criteria. On' the basis of our observations of the materials encountered, we
anticipate that the subsoil will conform to those described by CalOSHA as Type C. Soil conditions
should be verified in the field by a ".Competent person" employed by the Contractor.
The surface soil encountered during our investigation was found to be non -expansive. Laboratory tests
indicated an Expansion Index of 5 that corresponds with the "very low" category in accordance with UBC
Standard 18-2. If imported soil is to be used. during grading, it should have an Expansion Index of less
than 20.
The following recommendations. present more detailed design criteria that have been developed on the
basis of our field'and laboratory investigation.
Foundation Design: The results of our investigation indicate that either conventional shallow
continuous footings or isolated pad footings that are supported upon properly recompacted soil
may be expected to. provide satisfactory support for the proposed. modular structures.
Recompaction should be performed as described in the Site Grading Section of this report.
Footings should extend at least 12 .inches beneath lowest adjacent grade. Isolated square or
rectangular footings at least 2 feet square may be designed using an allowable bearing value of
1800 pounds per square foot. Continuous footings at least 12 inches wide may be designed using
an allowable. bearing value of 1500 pounds per square foot. Allowable increases of 200 psf for
each additional 1 foot of width and 250 psf for each additional 6 inches of depth may be utilized
if desired. The maximum allowable bearing pressure should be 2500 psf. The allowable bearing
pressures are for dead and frequently applied live loads and May be increased by 1/3 to resist
wind, seismic or other transient loading.
Care should be taken to see that bearing soil is not allowed to become saturated from the
ponding of rainwater or irrigation. Drainage from the building areas should be rapid and
complete.

The recommendations made in the preceding paragraphs are based on the assumption that all.
footings will be supported upon properly compacted soil. All grading shall be performed under
the tests and inspection of the Soil Engineer or his representative. Prior to the placement of
concrete, we recommend that the footing trenches be inspected to verify that they extend into
compacted soil and are free.of loose and disturbed materials.
Settlement: Settlement may result from the anticipated foundation loads. This estimated
ultimate settlement is calculated to be a maximum of 1 inch when . using the recommended
bearing values. As a practical matter, differential. settlement between footings can be assumed as
one-half of the total settlement.
Lateral Design: Resistance to lateral loads can be provided by a combination of friction acting at
the base of the slabs or foundations and passive earth pressure along the sides of the foundations.
A coefficient of friction of 0.45 between soil and concrete may be used with dead load forces only.
A passive earth pressure of 300 pounds per square foot, per foot of depth, may be used for the
sides of footings that are poured against properly compacted native soil.
Passive earth pressure should, be ignored within the upper 1 foot except where confined (such as
beneath a floor slab). When used in combination, either the passive resistance or the coefficient
of friction should be reduced by one-third.
Retaining Walls: Retaining walls may be requited to accomplish the proposed construction.
Cantilever retaining walls may be designed using "active". pressures. Active pressures may be
estimated using an equivalent fluid weight of 35 pcf for native backfill soil with level free -
draining backfill conditions.
For walls that are restrained, "at rest" pressures should be utilized in design. At rest pressures
may be estimated using an equivalent fluid weight of 55 pcf for native backfill soil with.level free -
draining backfill conditions.
Expansive Soil: Because of the prominence of non -expansive soil on the site, special expansive
soil design criteria should not be necessary for the design of foundations and concrete slabs -on -
grade. Final design criteria should be established by the Structural Engineer.
Concrete Slabs-on:Grade: All surfaces to receive concrete slabs -on -grade should be underlain by
recompacted soil as described in the Site Grading Section of this report. Where slabs are to
receive moisture sensitive floor coverings or where dampness of the floor slab is not desired, we
recommend the use of an appropriate vapor barrier. Vapor barriers should be protected by sand
in order to reduce the possibility of puncture and to aid in obtaining uniform concrete curing.
Reinforcement of slabs -on -grade in order to resist expansive soil pressures may not be required,
however, reinforcement will have a beneficial effect in containing cracking because of concrete
shrinkage. Temperature and shrinkage related cracking should be anticipated in all concrete
slabs -on -grade. Slab reinforcement and the spacing of control joints should be determined by the
Structural Engineer.

May 31, 2006 -5- Project No. 544-06370

Soluble Sulfates: The soluble sulfate concentrations of the surface soil were determined to be
less than 100 parts per million (ppm). This is within the usual allowable limits for the use of Type
II cement and the use of Type V cement or special sulfate resistant concrete mixes should not be
necessary.
Shrinkage and Subsidence: Volumetric shrinkage of the material that is excavated and replaced
as controlled compacted fill should be anticipated. We estimate that this shrinkage could vary
from 10 to 15 percent. Subsidence of the surfaces that are scarified and compacted should be
between 1 and 2 tenths of a foot.. This will vary depending upon the type.of equipment used, the
moisture content of the soil at the time of grading and the actual degree of.conipaction attained.
These values for shrinkage and subsidence are exclusive of losses that will occur because of the
stripping of the organic material from the site, the removal of deleterious materials and the
removal of debris, trees and other subsurface obstructions.
General Site Grading: All grading should be performed in accordance with the grading
ordinance of The City of La Quinta, California. The following recommendations have been
developed on the basis of our field and laboratory tests:
L Clearing and Grubbing: Proper clearing of any existing vegetation, associated root
systems, and'debris will be very important. All surfaces to. receive compacted fill should
be cleared of roots, vegetation, debris, and other unsuitable materials, that should be
removed from the site. Soil.that is disturbed because of the removal of the surface
vegetation and debris should be replaced as controlled compacted fill under the direction
of the Soil Engineer.
2. Preparation of Building Areas: In order to provide firm and uniform bearing
conditions, and to limit potential cut/fill transition related differential- settlements, we
recommend overexcavation and recompaction throughout the building and foundation
areas. The building areas should .be overexcavated to a depth of at least 2 feet below
existing grade or.2 feet . below the bottom of the footings, whichever is deeper. The
exposed surface should then be moisture conditioned and compacted so that a minimum
of 90 percent relative compaction is attained. Fill material may then be placed as
recommended in Item 4 below.
.3. Preparation of Surfaces to Receive Compacted Fill: Other areas to receive compacted
fill should'be brought to near optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum
of 90 percent relative compaction.
4. Placement of Compacted Fill: Fill materials consisting of on-site soil or approved
imported granular soil, should be spread in thin lifts, and compacted at near optimum
moisture content to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. Imported material
shall have an Expansion Index not exceeding 20. The contractor shall notify the Soil
Engineer at least 48 hours in advance of importing soil to provide sufficient time for the
evaluation of proposed import materials.

06-06=557
The contractor shall be responsible for delivering material to the site that complies with
the project specifications. Approval by the Soil Engineer will be based upon material
delivered' to the site and not the preliminary evaluation of import sources.
Because of the sloping nature of the site, proper grading methods will be imperative.
Proper keyways should be established at the toe of the proposed fill slopes and
appropriate benches should be constructed during fill placement.
Our observations of the material encountered during our investigation indicate that
compaction will be most readily obtained by means of heavy rubber -wheeled equipment
and/or vibratory compactors. At the time of our investigation, the subsoil was found to.
be dry. A more uniform and near optimum moisture content should be maintained
during recompaction and fill placement.
S. Preparation of Slab and Paving Areas: All surfaces to receive asphalt concrete paving.or
concrete slabs -on -grade should be underlain by a minimum compacted fill. thickness of
12 inches. This may be accomplished by a combination.of scarification and recompaction
of the surface soil and placement of, the fill material as controlled compacted fill.
Compaction of the slab and pavement areas should be :to a minimum of 90 percent
relative compaction.
6. Tests and Inspection: During grading, tests and observations should be performed by
the Soil Engineer or his representative to verify that the grading is being performed in
accordance with the project specifications. Field density tests shall be performed in
accordance with acceptable ASTM .test methods. The minimum acceptable degree of
compaction should be 90 percent of the maximum dry density as obtained by the ASTM
D1557-91 test method. Where tests indicate insufficient density, additional compactive
effort shall be applied until retests indicate satisfactory compaction.

GENERAL.
The findings and recommendations presented in this report are based upon an interpolation of the soil
conditions between the exploratory bore locations and extrapolation of these conditions throughout the .
proposed building areas. Should conditions encountered during grading appear different than those
indicated in this report, this office should be notified.
This report is. considered to be applicable for use by Mr. Joseph Birdsell for the specific site and project
described herein. The use of this report by other parties or for other projects is not authorized.. The
recommendations of this report are contingent upon monitoring of the grading operation by a
representative of Sladden Engineering. All recommendations are considered to be tentative pending our
review of the grading operation and additional. tests, if indicated. If others are employed to perform any
soil tests, this office should be notified prior to such tests in order to coordinate any required site visits by
our representative and to assure indemnification of Sladden Engineering.
Our investigation was conducted prior to the completion of plans for the project.. We recommend that a
pre -job conference beheld on the site prior to the initiation. of site grading: The purpose of this meeting
will be to assure a complete understanding of the recommendations presented ih.'this report as they apply
to'the actual grading performed.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION
For our field investigation, 2 exploratory bores were excavated on May 18, 2006 using a truck mounted
hollow stem auger rig (Mobile B53) in the approximate locations indicated on the site plan included in
this appendix. Continuous logs of the materials encountered were made on the site by a representative of
Sladden.Engineering. Bore logs are included in this appendix.
Representative undisturbed samples were obtained within our bores by driving a thin-walled steel
penetration sampler (California split spoon sampler) or a Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampler with a
140 pound hammer dropping approximately 30 inches (ASTM D1586). The number of blows required to
drive the samplers 18 inches was recorded in 6 -inch increments and blowcounts are indicated on the bore
logs.
The California samplers are 3.0 inches in diameter, carrying brass sample rings. having inner diameters of
2.5 inches. The standard penetration samplers are 2.0 inches in diameter with an inner diameter of 1.5
inches. Undisturbed samples were removed from the sampler and placed in moisture sealed containers
in order to preserve the natural soil moisture content. Bulk samples. were obtained from the excavation
spoils and samples were then, transported to our laboratory for further observations and tests.

APPENDIX B
LABORATORY TESTS
Representative bulk and relatively undisturbed soil samples were obtained in the field and returned to
our laboratory for additional observations and tests. Laboratory tests were generally performed in two
phases. The first phase consisted of tests to determine the compaction of the existing natural soil and the
general engineering classifications of the soil underlying the site. These tests were performed to estimate
the engineering characteristics of the soil and to serve as a basis for selecting samples for the second
phase of tests. The second phase consisted of soil mechanics tests. These tests include consolidation,
shear. strength and expansion tests that were performed to provide a means to develop specific design
recommendations based on the mechanical properties of the soil. `
CLASSIFICATION AND COMPACTION TESTS
Unit Weight and Moisture Content Determinations: Each undisturbed sample was weighed and
measured to determine the unit weight. A small portion of each sample was then subjected to tests to
determine its moisture content. This was used to determine the dry density of the soil in its natural
condition. The results of this test are shown on the Bore Logs.
Maximum Density -Optimum Moisture Determinations: Representative soil types were selected for
maximum density determinations. This test was performed in accordance with the ASTM Standard
D1557-91, Test Method A.. The results of these tests are. presented graphically in this appendix. The
maximum densities are compared to the field densities of the soil to determine the existing relative
compaction to the soil. This is shown on the Bore Logs, and is useful for estimating the strength and
.compressibility of the soil.
Classification Tests: Soil samples were selected for classification tests. These tests consist of mechanical
grain size analyses, and Atterberg Limits determinations. These provide information to develop
classifications for the soil in accordance with the Unified Classification System. This classification system
categorizes the soil into groups having similar engineering characteristics. The results of these tests. are
very useful for detecting variations in the soil and for selecting samples for further tests.
SOIL MECHANIC'S TESTS
Direct Shear Tests: One bulk sample was selected for Direct Shear Tests. This test measures the shear
strength of the soil under various normal pressures and is used to develop parameters for foundation
design and lateral design. Tests were performed using recompacted test specimens that were saturated
prior to tests. Tests were performed using a strain controlled test apparatus with normal pressures
ranging from 800 to 2300 pounds per.square foot.
Expansion Tests: One bulk sample was selected for Expansion tests. Expansion tests were performed in,
accordance with the UBC Standard 18-2. This test consists of remolding 4 -inch diameter by 1 -inch thick
specimens to a moisture content and dry density corresponding to approximately 50 percent saturation.
The samples are subjected to a surcharge of 144 pounds per square foot and allowed to reach equilibrium.
At that point the specimens are inundated with distilled water.. The linear expansion is then measured
until complete.

2001 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE SEISMIC DESIGN INFORMATION
The California Code of Regulations, Title 24 (2001 California Building Code) and 1997 Uniform Building
Code, Chapter 16 of this code, contain substantial revisions and additions to earthquake engineering
design criteria. Concepts contained in the code that will be relevant to construction of the proposed
structures are summarized below.
Ground shaking is expected to be the primary hazard most likely to affect the site, based upon proximity
to significant faults capable of generating large earthquakes. Major fault zones considered to be most
likely to create strong ground. shaking at the. site are listed below.

Based on our field observations and understanding of local geologic conditions, the soil profile type
judged applicable to this site is. So, generally described as stiff or dense soil. The site is located within
UBC Seismic Zone 4. The following table presents additional coefficients and factors relevant to seismic
mitigation for new construction upon adoption of the 1997 code.

Regarding: Structural Construction Observation
To Whom It May Concern,
I am a licensed Architect in the State of California and the structural designer of record for the noted project.
I visited the noted site on 24 February 2009 to perform Building Code mandated structural framing
construction observations prior to final framing inspection and wrapping the strugture. ' During my
observations I observed that the framing, foundation and foundation/framing interface appeared to be in
substantial conformance with the structural design intent of the record structural construction documents as
evidenced in the record drawings.
Therefore, I hereby certify that the structural constructlon systems are ready to receive the City's
final framing inspection and that the addition is ready to wrap.
If you have any further questions regarding this project please do not hesitate in contacting me.
