Martinovich Construction, Inc. 78-620 Arapahoe Drive Indian Wells, California 92210 Attention: Mr. Jay Martinovich Project: Lot 44 - Tract 25237 - The Enclave Vista Rosa Indian Wells, California Subject: LIMITED SOIL ENGINEERING STUDY Introduction File No. SS -6787 -PI 98-04-715' As you authorized, we have completed our limited soil engineering study for the proposed residence to be located on Lot 44 of Tract 25237 in the City of Indian Wells; California. The following report describes the. results of our field exploration, and presents our recommendations for design and construction of the proposed residence. Based on the results of our study, we conclude that the proposed lot is suitable for the proposed construction. The recommendations presented herein should be incorporated into the appropriate construction plans and specifications. We should also provide the on-site geotechnical testing and observation services during grading and' foundation construction, as specified in our recommendations. This report completes our scope of services in accordance with our agreement dated March 16, 1998, and signed March 25, 1998. Other future services which will be required, such as consultation, grading and foundation observations during construction are additional services that would be billed according to the Fee Schedule in effect at the time the services are provided. Although available through this office; the current scope of work for this report did not include any environmental assessment or investigation for the presence of. hazardous or toxic materials in the soil, surface water, groundwater, or air on, below, or proximal to this site. Site Description and Planned Construction The site is located in the private community of .the The Enclave on Lot 44 of Tract 25237, Indian Wells, California. The project site is relatively level with no existing structures. We anticipate that the proposed construction will be a one story single family residence and will utilize wood frame construction with concrete slabs -on -grade. Please refer to the attached site plan for the approximate location of the proposed residence. April 10, 1998 -2- File No. SS -6787-P1 98-04-715 The project site is adjacent to an existing residential home along the western property line which is defined by a 6 foot high block wall. The northern property line borders an existing manmade lake. The street Vista Rosa bounds the property to the south, while the eastern property line is adjacent to a vacant lot. The surrounding community is generally composed of residential homes and private recreational country clubs. Telephone, electric, water, sewer, and.cable utilities exist along Vista Rosa in the southern regionof the property. No other utilities were evident. Field Conditions Three exploratory borings were drilled for soil -profiling and sampling to a maximum depth of 20 feet below the existing ground surface. Site soils were designated according to the Unified Soil Classification System with classifications ranging from Silty Sands (SM), Clayey Silts (VII,) to Clays (CL) as the concentrations of silt, sand, and clay varied. The soils tended to be dark brown to olive brown in color, very fine grained, micaceous, slightly moist to moist, and loose to medium dense for sands and medium stiff for silts and clays. Some roots were encountered in Boring #1 at a depth of 20 feet. Clay and silt laminations appeared at various depths in all three borings. The enclosed boring logs contain a more detailed description of the soils encountered. Laboratory Testing One sample was obtained from the subject site and tested for Soluble Sulfate. This value should be used when considering the concrete type to be used on this project. The soluble sulfate content in the soil obtained was measured to be 290 mg/kg (0.029%) or negligible as defined by the Uniform Building Code in Table 1. The following table provides, recommendations to mitigate potential problems due to sulfate content.

Local variations in soil conditions may warrant increasing the depth of recompaction and/or overexcavation. ' 1. Prior to site grading, the site should be prepared by removing non complying material or other deleterious material from.the building envelopes. The unsuitable soil should then be removed from the project site. Any areas .disturbed during clearing activities should be properly backfilled and compacted. ' 2. Due.to the silt and loose nature of the site soils it is likely that compaction y y. canbe best attained by overexcavating the building footprint to a depth of 2 feet below the bottom of the footing or ' 3 feet below existing grade, whichever is deeper. The resulting surface should be scarified an additional 6 to 8 inches, moisture conditioned to slightly above the optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 90% of maximum dry density. Previously removed soil may ' be replaced, moisture conditioned, and compacted in thin lifts of between 6 to 8 inches. 3. Testing has indicated that the near surface site soils are generally loose'and slightly moist. ' These soils can . be susceptible to hydroconsolidation when water is added at the in-situ conditions. Therefore, to control differential settlement and to, produce a more uniform bearing condition, overexcavation and recompaction should be performed in order to provide adequate support for the proposed building foundation. ' 4. Some of the soils in and around thero'ect site are moisture sensitive and irrigation control i P � b s vital in order to reduce the risk of settlement. Settlement may also be caused by the absence of ' compaction of sewer and/or other utility line connections to the property. Compaction of utility lines should be tested and approved by a representative of ESCSC. ' 5. Fill material, if any, should be placed in thin lifts at near' optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 90% relative compaction. ' 6. Rocks larger than 8 inches in greatest dimension should be removed from fill or backfill material. ' 7. Areas around the structure should be graded so that drainage is positive and away from the structures. Watershould not be allowed to pond on or near pavement sections. ' 8.. Excavations . should be made in accordance with. applicable regulations. From our site exploration and knowledge, of the general area, we feel there is a potential for construction problems involving caving of site excavations (i.e. utilities, footings etc.). Where- deep excavations are planned or .encountered, lateral bracing or appropriate cut slopes should be ' provided.. 9. No surcharge loads should be allowed within a horizontal distance measured from the top of ' the excavation slope, equal to the depth of the excavation.: EARTH SYSTEMS CONSULTANTS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA April 10, 1.993 -4 T _ File No. SS-6787-P1 98-04-71 Foundation Recommendations ' I. It is our understanding that they proposed single. story.residence will be, supported by conventional shallow continuous or pd footings with concrete slabs on grade. The following structural values are recommended for use in foundation design. Conventional. shallow ' continuous footings at least 12 inches wide'and 12 inches deep and isolated pad footings at least 2 feet square and 12 inches deep can be designed using an allowable bearing value of 1,S00 psf. This value can be increased by one-third for seismic loading. V ' 2. A coefficient of friction of 0.35 -of the normal loads is recommended and passive resistance can be estimated utilizing an equtvalent fluid weight of 250_pcf. If the passive resistance is to be used in combination with frictional resistance, the coefficient of friction should be reduced to ' 0.23. ' If anv •retainimr walls are planned, active pressures can be estimated utilizing an equivalent fluid pressure of 40 pcf for well drained level backfill conditions. ' The site is located in'a seismically active area and the structure should be designed by a qualified proft-ssional that is aware of the site's seismic setting If there are any questions concerning this letter, please contact the undersigned.
