Project No. 1-1097
This report presents a summary of our geotechnical field observations and results of testing
performed during recent site grading for the property located at 620 Poinsettia Avenue in
Corona Del Mar, CA.
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.

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.

• Foundation excavations were observed and noted to be embedded into and on the
engineered fill placed as part of the rough grading;
• The floor slab subgrade was observed to consist of the engineered compacted fill placed
as part of the rough grading and in a firm and unyielding condition;
Conclusions and Comments
Based on our field observations, it is our opinion that onsite construction observed by our firm and
described herein were performed in substantial accordance with the recommendations presented
in the referenced report and project plans. Completed work under the purview of this report is
considered suitable and acceptable for the intended use.
