The area to be developed consists of a relatively gently sl<?ping area

(approximately 10%) bounded by steeper slopes (2-2-1/2 horizontal to l

vertical) to the west. The area to be .used as the homcsite has been, at

one time, gr<'lded. Information gathered fi:om t:he former owners of the

property ;,nd:lcnted that this grading consisted of minor ("<eavation (1 to 3

feet) on the lower part of t:he areo' and minor filling c<.z f<e.et) on the

upper areas. The purpor;" of the grading was to provide n flat pad in t:he

low(~r area ..

The area to he utilized for buildiug was covered by a growth of weeds and

grass with a few trees remaining from a fonncr orchard. The site and the

area to he developed are shDwn on Figures No. 1 and 2.

_Proposed Co11st:r.uctioP.

At the time of our investigation, the construction of a two-story, multi-

level h0tis" was anticipated. Included in this development wiJ,1 be the con-

struction of a septic tank nnd leach line system and possibly some retaining

walls near the breakin slope at the wcsteru edge of the building area.

Jn addition to a reference to the available literature on the site and

its environs, the project site was studied by means of stereoscopic:

and laboratory testing.

Early in th<' investlg.~tion, it wa::; noted that the major portion of the ten

acre si.tc di<l not lend itself to development. Therc;fore, the emphasi~ in

exploration w:<s placed upon the an'" which was projected for development,

(See Pigure No. 1 and 2).

,Aei::_~al Photogi;_:<..£h Study _

'l"he ncrial photographs used i.n this st:udy ·were _flown i.n August, l.973, and.

printed at a scaln of on,,-inch equal to 1,000 feet. These photos we.re

studied under the stereoscope for lin<>aments (indicativ<e. of faulting), .'.land~

'lliding, E;eepage areas, areas of potential instabllity, and any other per-

tin.e11t ~e.ntures._

The subsurface ""Ploration was accomplished by means of a wheel-;i,ountcd

bac~hoe uUJ;izini; a twe~foot bucket, 1"he pui;pNws of this exploration were

c) To obtain soil and/or rnck samples for testing in the

laboratory.

Undisturbed soil sampl cs wei:-c obtained by driving the sam1>ling device into

the (dde-walls of the trench. These samples were sealed in tubes and for-

warded to the laboratoi:-y for testing.

All trenching was done nnder the supervision of an Engineering Geologist.

1970) placed one trace of the San Andreas Fault near the western boundary

of the 10+ acre" which comprise the entire parcel and another trae" near

an accumulation of the layer colluvial-alluvial boulders overlying b<>ddcd

Tite· conclusior1s derived from this study arc:

l) There is no evidence apparent from the techniquea'used which

would indicate th.~t a fault crosses the part of the site studied,

2) The landslid<' neAr the north~.central plirt of the >lite has not

outside the expected rupture zone, accelerations in excess of 0.5 g. may

be expected. However, the founding material, judging froni the geophy,.icist 's

report, is competent; and the generation of high amplitude, low velot.ity

waves should be less_ than in the alluviated valleys.

5) A certain ;;.mount of risk is involved' in any building project in

the Santa Cruz Mountal.ns. However, the construction <>f a well-founded,

properly eonstructed structure should tend to minimize '1uch i:isks.

Soil Condltions ----·-~----,~-·-

The area to be. <leve.lope<l is ovierlain by an uncompact"d fill approxin•ately

t.,o feet thick. This material should not b<'. used in foundation support.

'.l1w matt,rial beneath t.he fill (natural ground) of at leDSt eight

fe.,t of colluvial-alluvial soil consists of a clayey ;rnd silty sand with

a relatively high pere.ientage of coarse (6") rode fragmen~s. Th" material

is slightly moist, dense and should provide good foundation suppor.t._

Jn the eastern sidie of the trench, a very stiff to hard silty clay was

encountered at depths belm» 6 to 8 ft'et.,

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS , -

1.. lt is our conclusion, based. upon t.he trench data and the g"ophysicist 's

r~port, t11at t10 ac:ti.ve. trace of the San Andreas Fnult crosses the area to

be developed au defined i,\ Figure No, 2._

2. Under no circumstances should the building site be changed without

further investigation,

3. The sit:e may be developed for- the construct:i on of a single-family,

on_e or two-story, frame dwelling provid.i:ng design and const_ruction are ac-

complished in accordance with the recommendations given in this report._

3._ With the exception of the organically contaminated t:OjJsoil.$, the soils - '

and rock of the area are suitnblc for use as "ngince:i;ed fill, Any.fills

should be compac:tt'd t<J 90% of the maximum dry d<'nsity as determined by

ASTM Test Met.hod Dl557-70. This provision also applies t"o fills behi«d

any propos"d retai.ning walls.

9

Project No. 1161-E 26 November 1974

4. It w:i.11 be necessary to coinpletely remove any existing fills, under-

ground str\1ctures, if any, and soft 1.1nsuitable so'il from areas t.o receive

engineered fill. The proper depth of strippi.ng and removal of existing

structures will be directed by the Soil Engineer during grading operations.

All areas to n'ceive fill shall have strippfaig operations completed prior

to placement of engineered fill.

5, No fill placement on the western boundary slope i~• anti.,ipated at this

time. Should such fills be placed, t:hc Soils Engineer should be notified

in order to reconuncnd designs for fill keys.

6, Excavations up to 33 feet in depth may .be ac<:omplishe<l using conventional

earth-moving equipment.

7. Gradients for slopes, both cut <'!lid fill, should be no ste.eper thnn 2

horizontal to 1 vertical.

8. Tbe east-facing 11ntur,1l slopes should not b" steepened unless some

measures to increase stability sucl1 ns buttress fills or retaining walls

:ire const.i:ucted.

9. The proposed residential structure can be supported on a pad c.ut into

natural ground or constructed "7ith engineered fill. Friction_ pier. and grade

beam system is re.commended for. support of the house.

10. For .the friction-pier and grade beamsystcl!I, the piers should be a

minimum diameter of 12 inches and p'-'m"trate a minimum depth of 4 feet into

natural soil or engineered fill. Piers so constt·ucted may be designed for

a skin friction factor of 500 p •. s •. f, neglecting the top 12 inch<'I' in supp<>rt.

J.1. All grade beams should be design<~d for loads and spans involved. Mini-

mum reinforcement should c<>nsist of two No._ 4 bars, one top and <>ne bottom.

12, The struct:ural "foundation should not be placed "7ith 2-0 feet of the

renr (western) slope unles:> special foundation designs, as recomrnend<:'.d by

the Soil Engineer, are used in support.

' All project plans should be reviewed and approved by the Soi_l Engineer:

prior to construction.

Slnb-on-Grad" Construction -----~··----··--···-~-

19. l"or slab-on-grade construction, the following items are recommended:

a) Sl.~los are. not recommended unl()SS the rm-s:i.te fills are

removed mid recompact..,d, If constructed, r,aragc slabs

should be poured strn.,,turally ind<~pendent of the p<:>rimcter

foundations. Living area slabs should be rcinfot"ced with

a minimum of wire mesh.

b). Subbase sections should be composed of a four-inch layer

of crur.hed rock, gravel or other approved granular - v·/··

material to S1'rvc as a capillary break and cushion layer,

Refer to Paragraph 15 for.gradation.

c) Slabs which are to receive composite floor, such as wit:ld'I\

living area,;, should have a wnterproof mctnbrane placed

between the rock cushion layer and the e.oncretc slab,

d) The subgn1de soils r;hould be thoroughly w"tted down prior

to plaeing the waterproof membrane i.n livini:; areas and

before placi11g concrete it1 otl1er area$ ..

the use of continuou,; roof gutt.,,rs is opU.onal. However, ·if roof gutters

are used, splash blocks should be provided at t~e down$pouts to prevent

erosion of the foundntion soils, ~ositivc drainaE" of the lot pad is re-

quired to prevent ponding of storm water upon the pad. Liberal lot slop"s

should he provided in . final gruding to remove aJ.1 !,;torm water froni the
