(Leighton) has performed geotechnical observation and testing services during the rough-grading operations of Lots I through 33 of Tract 28503. ; This as-graded report summarizes our geotechnical observations, field and laboratory test results and the geotechnical conditions encountered during the rough-grading of Tract 28503. In addition, this report provides conclusions and recommendations for the proposed residential development of Lots I through 33. The 40-scale grading plans for Tract 28503 (May Group, 1998) was utilized as a base map to present :the approximate locations of the field density tests. The Density Test Location Map is presented as Plates I and 2 and are located in the pocket at the rear of this report. - I - :::::::::0' ;:::; - ~ =.=: ",. ~ =-=-.;:: ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 11871347-029 2.0 SUMMARY OF ROUGH-GRADING OPERATIONS The current rough grading operations for Tract 28503 began in November 1998, and is essentially complete as of the date of this report. Nelson & Belding performed the grading operations under the ,geotechnical observation and testing services of Leighton. Our field technician and geologist were onsite on a full-time and as-needed basis, respectively, during grading operations. Grading operations ,included the preparation of areas to receive fill, removals of compressible materials, scaritication, moisture-conditioning and placement of compacted fill soils. 2.1 Site PreDaration and Removals Prior to grading, the areas of proposed development were stripped of surface vegetation and debris and these materials were disposed of offsite. Removals of unsuitable and potentially compsessible soils including undocumented fill, porous alluvial soils, and weathered formational materials were made to competent formational or existing till material. Removals and lot processing were performed in accordance with the recommendations of the project geotechnical reports (Appendix A) and geotechnical recommendations made during the grading operations. 2.2 Fill Placement After removing compressible materials and processing any area to' receive fill, native soil was generally spread in 4" to 8-inch lifts, moisture-conditioned- as needed to attain a near-optimum moisture content, and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM Test Method DI557-91. Compaction was achieved by use of heavy-duty construction equipment. Areas of fill in which field density .tests indicated less than 90 percent relative compaction, or the soils exhibited nonuniformity and/or inadequate moisture content were reworked, recompacted and retested until a minimum 90 percent relative compaction and near- optimum moisture content was achieved. 2.3 Cut/Fill Transition Pads As depicted on the As-Graded Geote~hnical and Density Test Location- Map (Plates 1 and 2) and encountered during grading, cut/fill transition was created during site rough grading on Lots 5,6,9,19,20 and 21. The cut portions of these lots were overexcavated a minimum of 3 feet below tinish pad grade. Overexcavation of the building pad was performed to minimize the till depth differential and provide more uniform subgrade soils beneath the proposed structures. - 2 - I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 11871347-029 2.4 Field Densitv Testin2 Field density and moisture determination testing were performed using the nuclear gauge method (ASTM Test Methods D2922 and D30l7, respectively). The approximate test locations are shown on the As-Graded Geotechnical and Density Test Location Map (Plates I and 2). The results of the field density tests are summarized in Appendix B. 2.5 Laboratorv Testing Laboratory maximum dry density, expansion index and soluble sulfate tests of representative onsite soils were performed in general accordance with ASTM Test Method DI557-91, UBC Test Method 18-2 and CTM 417 respectively. The laboratory test results and a description of the laboratory test procedures are presented in Appendix C. - 3 - ~Ol::-- - -- ~ -=---=: ~ --1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 11871347-029 3.0 ENGINEERING GEOLOGIC SUMMARY 3.1 As-Graded Geol02ic Conditions The as-graded conditions encountered during rough grading of the subject lots and streets were essentially as anticipated. A summary of the geologic conditions, including geologic units, geologic structure and faulting is presented below. 3.2 Geol02ic Units The geologic units encountered during rough grading of Tract 28503 consisted of existing undocumented fill soils, younger alluvium, older alluvium, and the Pauba _ Formation. Undocumented fill and younger alluvium were remo\,ed to competent formational material, then scarified and moisture-conditioned prior to fill placement and compaction. The geologic units encountered during the grading operations are discussed below. 3.2.1 Undocumented Fill (Afu) -- Undocumented fill soils were observed along the southern limits of the site and may have been associated with the grading of La Serena Way. These soils were completely removed in the area of grading or proposed structures. 3.2.2 Documented Fill by Others (Afo) - Existing fill soils placed under the observation and testing by others was encountered along La Serena Way and the adjacent development to the north and the adjacent school on the southwest. 3.2.3 Youn2er Alluvium (Oal),-- Alluvial deposits were confined to the bottom of the drainage swales which drain the site. This unit consists of bmwn, loose to medium dense fine to coarse sands and silty fine to coarse sands. Alluvium was removed in areas of grading or proposed structures. 3.2.4 Older Alluvium (Goal) -- Older alluvial deposits are generally thicker and are characterized by older slope wash deposits and stream deposits along bottoms and flanks of canyons. The older deposits consist primarily of silty fine to coarse sands with traces of gravel. 3.2.5 Pauba Formation (00) --The Quaternary-aged Pauba Formation underlies the existing till and alluvial soils in the subject tract. The Pauba Formation consists of dense to very dense, silty fine- to coarse-grained sandstone and minor sandy siltstone. 3.3 Geol02ic Structure and Faultin2 Based on our geologic observations during site grading and our professional experience on adjacent sites, bedding on site is generally flat lying to slightly dipping northeast to northwest. Although bedding is generally inclined northeast to northwest, local variations indicate that slight folding has occurred in the area. No faulting 01' indications of faulting were observed during this phase of grading operations. - 4 - ~Ol::-- ~ -- 0=--- ~ -: ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I "L."_',.._. 11871347-029 3.4 Landslides and Surficial Failures Based on our review of the project geotechnical reports (Appendix A) and our geologic observations during the current grading operations, there is no indication of landslides or other significant surficial failures within the subject tract. 3.5 Ground Water Ground water was not encountered during this phase of grading operations. Some minor moisture was observed in the area of the proposed cut slope at the rear of Lots 6 and 7. A replacement fill was constructed with a subdrain to collect any future seepage. Subdrains were not required in the canyons or c1eanout areas. However, unforeseen conditions may occur after the completion of grading and establishment of site irrigation and landscaping. "Perched" water could collect on a strata of loss permeable fill or formational material creating what may appear to be shallow ground water. If this condition should occur, mitigation may be required by the homeowner, on a case- by-case basis. '3.6 Expansion Testin2 of Finish Grade Soils Expansion index tests were performed on representative finish grade soils on Lots 1 through 33. The test results indicate the finish grade soils on the lots have a very low to medium expansion potential per the Uniform Building Code (UBC) criteria. The test results and procedures are presented in Appendix C. The expansion index test results are summarized for each lot on Table 1 (presented at the rear of the text). 3.7 Soluhle Sulfate Testin2 of Finish Grade Soils Soluble Sulfate testing of representative near surface soils was performed. The test results indicate the finish grade soils have a negligible to moderate concentration of soluble sulfates. The sulfate content test results are also presented in Appendix C. - 5 - ~II::-- !!'Ooii .- -= ~- ~ -.;:: l\ II. I I I I I I I I I ! I I I I I I I I I 11871347-029 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 4.1 General Rough-grading of Tract 28503. Lots I through 33 and associated roadways and slopes were performed in general accordance with the project geotechnical reports, geotechnical recommendations made during grading and the City of Temecula's requirements. It is our opinion that the subject tract is suitable for its intended residential use provided the recommendations included herein and in the project geotechnical reports are incorporated into the design and construction of the residential structures and associated improvements. Due to the erosion susceptible soils and hillside nature of the project, ongoing maintenance of slopes and drainage facilities is one of the most important factors in reducing the risk of future soil-related distress. 4.2 Summarv of Conclusions . Geotechnical conditions encountered during rough grading were generally as anticipated. . Potentially compressible existing undocumented fill soils and dry younger ~ alluvial material were removed to competent material prior to fill placement during the rough-grading operations. . Fill soils were derived from onsite soils. Based on our testing, fill soils met the required 90 percent relative compaction (based on ASTM Test Method D 1557) and a near-optimum moisture content in accordance with the recommendations of the project geotechnical reports and the requirements of the City of Temecula. . The expansion potential of the finish grade soils on Lots I through 33 is in the very low to medium range (per UBC l8-I-B). The potential for sulfate attack to concrete is considered negligible to moderate (see Appendix C). . The potential for ground-surface rupture on the site due to a seismic event is considered to be low to nil; however, strong ground shaking should be expected during the life of the structures. The standard design of structures to meet the seismic design requirements of the current Uniform Building Code (UBC), Seismic Zone 4, will be required. - 6- ~II::-- !!'Ooii _- ~-~- ~ -.;:: \0 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I . . ".., '" ,<_,,-o..""h -..'.r;,.._.;..,~.;;;,--,---,--;.._-..,-..._ 11871347-029 5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 Earthwork We anticipate that future earthwork at the site will consist of finish grading of the building pads, trench excavation and backfill, preparation of street subgrade, and placement of aggregate base and asphalt concrete pavement. We recommend that earthwork on the site be performed in accordance with the following recommendations and the City of Temecula's grading requirements. 5.1.1 Excavations -- Due to the relatively high density characteristics and current moisture condition of the onsite soils, temporary excavations, such as utility trenches with vertical sides in the onsite soils to depths of 5 feet of less, should remain generally stable for the period required to construct the utility. However, the contractor should guard against local areas where dryer or more cohesionless soils may cause trench wall revelling or instability. In accordance with OSHA requirements, excavations between 5 and 15 feet in depth should be shored or laid-back to inclinations of 1: I (horizontal to vertical) if workers are to enter such excavations. 5.1.2 Backfill. Fill Placement and Comoaction -- All backfill or fill soils should be brought to near-optimum moisture conditions and compacted in uniform lifts to at least 90 percent relative compaction based on the laboratory maximum dry density (ASTM Test Method DI557-9l). The optimum lift thickness required to produce uniform compaction will depend on the type and size of compaction equipment used. In general, the onsite soils should be placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in compacted thickness. '5.2 Foundation and Structure Desi2n Considerations The proposed foundations and slabs of the single-family residential structures may be designed as conventional foundations/slab systems in accordance with structural considerations and recommendations presented herein. Soils ranging from very low to medium expansion and negligible to moderate potential for sulfate attack to cement in contact with onsite soils have been placed on the lots within the tract. 5.2.1 Conventionallv-Reinforced Foundations -- Conventionally-reinforced foundations and slabs should be designed and constructed in accordance with the recommendations contained in Table 2 based on the expansion potential of each lot. Based on the expansion testing of the finish grade soils during grading, the soils on the subject lots have a very low to medium expansion potential (an expansion index between 0 and 90 per UBC 18-I-B, see Table 1). - 7- ~II::-- ~ -- - ~- ~ -.;:: H II I I I I I I I I I I I 5.2.2 I I I I I I I 11871347-029 The vapor barrier as recommended in Table 2 should be sealed at all penetrations and laps. Moisture vapor transmission may be additionally reduced by use of concrete additives. Moisture barriers can retard but not eliminate moisture vapor movement from the underlying soils up through the slabs. We recommend that the floor-covering installer test the moisture-vapor.flux rate prior to attempting applications of the flooring. "Breathable" floor coverings should be considered if the vapor flux rates are high. A slipsheet or equivalent should be utilized above the concrete slab if crack-sensitive floor coverings (such as ceramic tiles, etc.) are to be placed directly on the concrete slab. Our experience indicates that use of reinforcement in slabs and foundations will generally reduce the potential for drying and shrinkage cracking. However, some cracking should be expected as the concrete cures. Minor cracking is considered normal; ~however, it is often aggravated by a high water/cement ratio, high concrete temperature at the - time of placement, small nominal aggregate size and rapid moisture loss due to hot, dry and/or windy weather conditions during placement and curing. Crackinf due to temperature and moisture fluctuations can also be expected. The use of low slump concrete (not exceeding 4 to 5 inches at the time of placement) can reduce the potential for shrinkage cracking. Conventional footings may be designed for an allowable bearing capacity of 2,000 psf for a continuous footing 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep or isolated pad footing 24 inches square. aild 12 inches deep. The above bearing capacity values are based on a total and differential short-term settlement of 3/4 and 1/2 inch, respectively. Short-term settlement is anticipated to occur upon application of the footing load or shortly thereafter. The slab subgrade soils underlying the conventional foundation systems should be presoaked as indicated in Section 5.2.2 prior to placement of the moisture barrier and slab concrete. Conventional footing/slab systems may be enhanced by structurally tieing the slabs-on- grade to the perimeter and interior footings as directed ~y the structural engineer. The slab and footings may be poured monolithically to further unitize the system. Moisture Conditionin2 -- The'slab subgrade soils underlying the foundation/slab systems should be thoroughly moistened in accordance with the recommendations presented in Table 2 and summarized lot-by-Iot on Table I (presented at the rear of text) prior to placement of the moisture barrier and slab concrete. The subgrade soil moisture content should be checked by a representative of Leighton prior to slab construction. Moisture-conditioning may be achieved in a number of ways. But based on our professional experience, we have found that initial flooding and minimizing the moisture loss on pads that have been completed (by periodic wetting to keep the upper portion of the pad from drying out) and/or berming the lot and tlooding for a short period of time (days) are some of the more efficient ways to meet the presoaking recommendations. If tlooding is performed, a couple of days to let the upper portion of the pad dry out and form a crust so excavation equipment can be utilized should be anticipated. Alternatively, tlooding of the slab areas may be performed after pouring foundations, prior to placement of sand/moisture barrier system. - 8 - ~II::-- -- -- - ~ ~.;:: \Z- I 11871347-029 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 5.2.3 Foundation Setback from SloDes -- We recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance from the face of slopes for all structural footings (retaining walls, building footings, etc.). This distance is measured from the outside bottom edge of the footing horizontally to the slope face and should be a minimum of H/2, where H is the slope height (in feet). The setback should not be less than 7 feet and need not be greater than 10 feet. Please note that the soils within the structural setback area possess poor lateral stability and improvements (such as retaining or garden walls, sidewalks, fences, pavements, etc.) constructed within this setback area may be subject to lateral movement and/or differential settlement. Potential distress to such improvements may be mitigated by providing a deepened footing or a pier and grade-beam foundation system to support the improvement. The deepened footing should meet the setback as described above. 5.2.4 Structure Desi2n -- Structures should be designed as required by provisions of the Current Uniform Building Code (UBC) for Seismic Zone 4. . 5.2.5 Concrete Type -- Laboratory tests_ indicate the near surface soils have a negligible to moderate concentration of soluble sulfates. Accordingly, concrete in contact with earth materials should be designed in accordance with Table 19-A-4 of the Uniform Building Code (UBC, 1997) for a soil with moderate sulfate concentration. 5.3 Lateral Earth Pressures and Retainin2 Wall Design Considerations The recommended lateral pressures for the site soil and level or sloping backtill are presented on Table 3. Embedded structural walls should be designed for lateral earth pressures exerted on them. The magnitude of these pressures depends on the amount of deformation that the wall can yield under load. If the wall can yield enough to mobilize the full shear strength of the soil, it can be designed for "active" pressure. If the wall cannot yield under the applied load, the shear strength of the soil cannot be mobilized and the earth pressure will be higher. Such walls should be designed for "at rest" conditions. If a structure moves toward the soils, the resulting resistance developed by the soil is the "passive" resistance. For design purposes, the recommended equivalent fluid pressure for each case for walls founded above the static ground water and backfilled with soils of very low to low expansion potential is provided in Table 3. The equivalent tluid pressure values assume free-draining conditions. If conditions other than those assumed above are anticipated, the equivalent fluid pressure values should be provided on an individual-case basis by the geotechnical engineer. Surcharge loading effects from the adjacent structures should be evaluated by the geotechnical and structural engineer. All retaining wall structures should be provided' with appropriate drainage and waterproofing. The outlet pipe should be sloped to drain to a suitable outlet. Typical wall drainage design is illustrated in Figure 2. For sliding resistance, the friction coefticient of 0.35 may be used at the concrete and soil interface. In combining the total lateral resistance, the passive pressure or the frictional resistance should be reduced by 50 percent. Wall footings should be designed in accordance with structural considerations. The passive resistance value may be increased by one-third when considering - 9- ~II::-- !!'Ooii _- - -=--.::: ~ --I~ I I I I I I I I 'I I I I I I I I I I I 11871347-029 loads of short duration, including wind or seismic loads. The horizontal distance between foundation elements providing passive resistance should be a minimum of three times the depth of the elements to allow full development of these passive pressure. The total depth of retained earth for design of cantilever walls should be the vertical distance below the ground surface measured at the wall face for stem design or measured at the heel of the footing for overturning and sliding. Wall backcut excavations less than 5 feet in height can be made near vertical. For backcuts greater than 5 feet in height, but less than 15 feet in height, the backcut should be flattened to a gradient of not steeper than I: I (horizontal to vertical) slope inclination. For backcuts in excess of 15 feet in height, specific recommendations should be requested from the geotechnical consultant. The granular and native backfill soils should be compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction (based on ASTM Test Method DI557-9l). The granular fill should extend horizontally to a minimum distance equal to one-half the wall height behind the walls. The walls should be constructed and backfilled as soon as possible after backcut excavation. Prolonged exposure of backcut slopes or local areas of dry, more granular soils may result in some localized slope instability. Foundations for retaining walls in competent formational soils or properly compacted fill or local areas of dry, more granular soils should be embedded at least 18 inches below lowest adjacent grade. At this depth, an allowable bearing capacity of 2,300 psf may be assumed. '5.4 Concrete Flatwork In order to reduce the potential for differential movement or cracking of driveways, sidewalks, patios, or other concrete flatwork, welded wire mesh reinforcement consisting of 6x6-IO/l 0 or No.3 rebars at 24 inches on center (each way) is suggested along with keeping pad grade soils at an elevated moisture content. 5.5 Control of Surface Water and Draina2e Control Positive drainage of surface water away from structures is very important. No water should be allowed to pond adjacent to buildings. Positive drainage may be accomplished by providing drainage away from buildings at a gradient of at least 2 percent for a distance of at least 5 feet, and further maintained by a swale or drainage path at a gradient of at least I percent. Where limited by 5-foot side yards, drainage should be directed away from foundations for a minimum of 3 feet and into a collective swale or pipe system. Where necessary, drainage paths may be shortened by use of area drains and collector pipes and/or paved swales. Eave gutters also help reduce water intiltration into the subgrade soils if the downspouts are properly connected to appropriate outlets. Planters with open bottoms adjacent to buildings should be avoided, if possible. Planters should not be designed adjacent to buildings unless provisions for drainage, such as catch basins and pipe drains, are made. No ponding of water from any source (including irrigation) should be permitted onsite as moisture infiltration may increase the potential for moisture-related distress. Experience has shown that even with these controls for surface drainage, a shallow perched ground-water or subsurface-water condition can and may develop in areas where no such condition previously - 10- ~II::-- !!'Ooii _- ~-~- ~ -.;:: 'A I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 11871347-029 existed. This is particularly true where a substantial increase in surface-water infiltration resulting from site irrigation occurs. Mitigation of these conditions should be performed under the recommendations of the geotechnical consultant on a case-by-case basis. ,5.6 Graded Slopes It is recommended that all graded slopes within the tract be planted with drought-tolerant, ground- cover vegetation as soon as practical to protect against erosion by reducing runoff velocity. Deep- rooted vegetation should also be established to provide resistance to surficial slumping. Oversteepening of existing slopes should be avoided during tine grading and construction. Retaining structures to support graded slopes should be designed with structural considerations and appropriate soil parameters provided in Section 5.3. 5.7 Irri2ation. Landscapin2 and Lot Maintenance Site irrigation should ba controlled at all times. We recommend that only th_e minimum amount of irrigation necessary to maintain plant vigor be utilized. For irrigation of trees and shrubs, a drip irrigation system should be considered. We recommend tl1llt where possible, landscaping consist primarily of drought-tolerant vegetation. A landscape consultant should be contacted for proper plant selection. For large graded slopes adjacent to open space areas, we recommend native plant species be utilized and that irrigation be utilized only until plants are well established. At that time, irrigation could be significantly reduced. Upon sale of homesites, maintenance of lots and common areas by the homeowners and homeowner's association, respectively, is recommended. Recommendations for the maintenance of slopes and property are included in Appendix D for your review and distribution to future homeowners and/or homeowner's associations. 5.8 Construction Ohservation and Testin2 ' Construction observation and testing should be performed by the geotechnical consultant during future excavations, utility trench backfilling and foundation or retaining wall construction at the site. Additionally, footing excavations should be observed and moisture determination tests of sub grade soils should be performed by the geotechnical consultant prior to the pouring of concrete. Foundation design plans should also be reviewed by the geotechnical consultant prior to excavation. - 11- ~UI::-- !!'Ooii .- -= ~- ~ -: \-5' I I I I I I I I I I I I iO CORONA.

(1.4) x optimum to a depth of 24" Post-Tensioned Slabs I As an alternative to conventional foundations, buildings may be supported on posHensioned slabs, to be designed by a structural engineer in consultation with the geotechnical consultant. In addition, a post-tensioned slab is also recommended for VERY HIGH expansion potential below the adjacent grade. The slabs should be designed such that they can be deformed approximately 1 inch vertically over a width of 30 feet without distress in the event of shrinkage or swelling of the supporting soils. Living area slabs should be underlain by a 6-mil Visqueen moisture barrier covered by a l-inch layer of sand. Presoaking is recommended for I post-tensioned slabs: (1.2) x optimum to a depth of 12 inches, (1.3) x optimum to a depth of 1 a inches, and (1.4) x optimum to a depth of 24 inches for MEDIUM, HIGH, and VERY HIGH expansion potential soils, respectively. Placement of sand base below Visqueen is also suggested for post-tensioned slabs: 2,3. and 4 inches thick for ""!edium, high, and very high expansive potential salls, respectively. Depth of interior or exterior footings to be measured from lowest adjacent finish grade. The base of the grade beam should be at the same elevation as that of the adjoining footings. Living area slabs may be tied to the footings as directed by the structural engineer. For HIGH EXPANSION: Dowels consisting of No.3 bars should be placed at 36 inches on centers in the footings and bent 3 feet into the slab. It has been observed that welded wire fabric reinforcement seldQm stays at the design height within concrete slabs. We recommend the use of No.3 bars at 24 inches D.C. instead of 6x6-1 011 0 WWF and NO.3 bars at 18 inches D.C. instead of 6x6-6/6 WWF. 6-mil Visqueen sheeting has proved successful. Equivalents are acceptable. . Garage slabs should be isolated from stem wall footings with a minimum 3/8" felt expansion joint. Sand base should have a Sand Equivalent of 30 or greater (e.g., washed concrete sand).

Many homeowners are unaware of this and allow deterioration of their property. It is important to familiarize homeowners with some guidelines for maintenance of their properties and , make them aware of the importance of maintenance. Some governing agencies require hillside property developers to utilize specific methods of engineering and construction to protect those investing in improved lots or constructed homes. For example, the developer may be required to grade the property in such a manner that rainwater will be drained away 'from the lot and to plant slopes so that erosion will be minimized. They may also be required to install permanent drains. : However, once the lot is purchased, it is the buyer's responsibility to maintain these safety features by observing a prudent program of lot care and' maintenance. Failure to make regular inspection and maintenance of drainage devices and sloping areas may cause severe financial loss. In addition to their own property damage, they may be subject to civil liability for damage occurring to neighboring properties as a result of his negligence. The following maintenance guidelines are provided for the protection of the homeowner's investment. a) Care should be taken that slopes, terraces, berms (ridges at crown of slopes) and proper lot drainage are not disturbed. Surface drainage should be conducted from the rear yard to the street through the side yard, or alternative approved devices. b) In general, roof and yard runoff should be conducted to either the street or storm drain by nonerosive devices such as sidewalks, drainage pipes, ground gutters, and driveways. Drainage systems should not be altered without expert consultation. c) All drains should be kept cleaned and unclogged, including gutters and downspouts. Terrace drains or gunite ditches should be kept free of debris to allow proper drainage. During heavy rain periods, performance of the drainage system should be inspected. Problems, such as gullying and ponding, if observed, should be corrected as soon as possible. d) Any leakage from pools, water lines, etc. or bypassing of drains should be repaired as soon as practical. e) Animal burrows should be eliminated since they may cause diversion of surface runoff, promote accelerated erosion, and even trigger shallow soil flowage. t) Slopes should not be altered without expert consultation. Whenever a homeowner plans a significant topographic modification of the lot or slope, a qualified geotechnical consultant should be contacted. g) If the homeowner plans modification of cut or natural slopes within his property, an engineering geologist should be consulted. Any oversteepening may result in a need for expensive retaining devices. Undercutting of a toe-of-slope would reduce the safety factor of the slope and should not be undertaken without expert consultation. D-l 2t> I 11871347-029 , _Lot Maintenance Guidelines for Homeowners (Continued) I I I I I h) If unusual cracking, settling or earth slippage occurs on the property, the owner should consult a qualified soil engineer or an engineering geologist immediately. i) The most common causes of slope erosion and shallow slope failureS.-are as follows: . Gross neglect of the care and maintenance of the slopes and drainage devices. . Inadequate and/or improper planting. (Barren areas should be replanted as soon as possible.) . Excessive or insufficient irrigation or diversion of runoff over the slope. j) Hillside lot owners should not let conditions on their property create a problem for their neighbors. Cooperation with neighbors could prevent problems, promote slope stability, adequate drainage, proper maintenance, and also increase the aesthetic attractiveness of the community.
