OJNCLUSIONS (1) The subsoil conditions vary with respect to type, depth and engineering characteristics. Generally, they consist of an upper sandy to silty clay with scattered gravelS
extending from nil to about 15 feet in depth. The fine-grained soils overlie a dense granular deposit of gravel, cobbles and boulders in a sandy clay matrix. Nominal arrounts of manplaced
fill were encountered. (2) The projXlsed buildings can be founded with spread footing placed on the natural fine-grained soils or lower gravels and designed for soil bearing pressures
in the range of 1,000 psf to 3,000 psf. Footings placed entirely on the underlying coarse granular deposit can be designed for soil bearing pressures ranging from 3, 000 to 6, 000 psf.
(3) The upper clays are generally of relatively low density and contain porous zones. These soils are susceptible to erosion and may possess a high settlerrPJlt jXltential upon wetting.
Surface drainage recorrmendations and diversion measures as described in the body of this report are considered necessary to the satisfactory performance of the structures. Observation
and testing of the site grading procedures should be performed by a representative of the soil engineer. Design details and precautions are discussed in the report.
-2-SCOPE TIlls report presents the results of a soil and fOW1dation investigation for the proposed residential development to be located on Parcel 5-1, BattlerrBI1t Mesa Developnent,
Garfield CoW1ty, Colorado. A vicinity l1I3p showing the general location of the proposed development is presented on Figure 1. The report presents the general subsoil conditions, recanmended
type fOW1dations and ranges of allowable bearing pressures, pavement recorrmendations and other soil related design and construction details. PREVIOUS INVESTI~TION Chen and Associates
previously conducted several engineering reports for devel9Jpnent and structures adjacent tc the property. These reports are listed as folIows: (1) Seil and FOW1dation Investigation,
Proposed Fire Station, Job No. 22,490 dated July 17, 1981. (2) Soil and FOW1dation Investigation, Proposed Water Storage Reservoir and Pump Station, Job No. 20,304 dated May 29, 1980.
(3) Seil and FOW1dation Investigation, Proposed Zone B Burrp.8tation, Job No. 22,733 dated April 1, 1981. (4) Geotechnical and Geological Evaluation, Battlement Mesa Development, Job
No. 11,833 dated January 16, 1975. The information contained within the above referenced reports was utilized in preparation of this report.
-,5-proPOSED CONSTRUCI'ION The proposed development will consist of medium density residential lIDits located throughout the central portion of the parcel. The far eastern 1/3 of the
parcel ~Qll be utilized for an elementary school and church site. IlpprO}:imately the western 1/3 of the parcel has not been designated for development at the time of this report preparation
and no specific design info~1Uation ooncerning type of construction for the residential lIDits has been provided. We assume the development to consist primarily of light residential
wood frame s~-uctures with minor excavation required. SITE CONDITIONS ~~~~~~~~~---::At-the-time-of tJ1e field illvest~gatlon, the parcel was generally undeveloped and covered with a
variety of grasses, weeds and sage. Several scattered areas of stockpiled boulders or waste material were located across the site. Previous site use oonsisted of pasture land. Sorre
areas, primarily adjacent to the existing public safety building (fire station) and pump station and a north-south oonstruction road bisecting the parcel have been stripped of vegetation.
Topographically, the area is relatively flat and slopes IlDderately down to the west with approxiJnately 50 to 60 feet of elevation difference existing across the proposed development.
A snall drainage separates the proposed development from the existing public safety building and Cerne~-y Gulch is located to the southwest. Both the public safety building and the Zone
B pump station to the south were under oonstruction at the time of the field investigation. South Battlement Parkway b~rders the north edge of the site and county Road 302 borders the
south.
-4-GEDU::X:;IC SETTING The general site geology at the Battlement Mesa Project Area was observed and described in a preliminary subsoil and geologic study reported under our Job No.
11,833 dated January 16, 1975. A geologic reconnaissance was also conducted for the present investigation of Parcel 5-1. The parcel is situated on the western portion of the Battlerrent
Creek Alluvial fan which is =nfOsed of interlayered mud flow and alluvial sediments. Deposition of the fan began during late Quaternary time. During this time, climatic conditions were
quite varied resulting in alluvial deposition along the historic drainages during fairly dry periods and mudflow depositions during wet periods. The mudfIow ClepJSIts--are--charaeteF-.ize€l--sy-a-l:l
eterogeneolls mixt~ur~e~ _ _ of gravels, cobbles and boulders embedded in a sandy clay matrix. The alluvial sediments are generally oore stratified and usually show some degree of sorting.
Based on the subsoils encountered during this investigation, it appears that primarily mudflow sediments were encountered. The upper clays are alluvial soils derived from reworking of
the mudflow deposits by recent and Holocene streams. Bedrock underlying this site is the Ebcene Hasatch Formation. Bedrock was not encountered in any of the test holes drilled during
this investigation and is deeper than 100 feet in other parts of the developnent. In our opinion, the geologic conditions of the site do not present a major hazard to the proposed development.

-5-that g'::X)[1 s'1gineermg prac~i::es are: followed. :8}~cavation po.....netrating the lower g'.canular soils may en::OU'1ter b::Julders and require special excavation considerations.
The upper fiI1e-g'.cained soils are m:derately to highly susceptible to surface and s~~surface erosion. The erosion potential and ree:::>rrmended drainage considerations are discussed
in a later section of this report. SUBSOIL CONDITIONS The general subsoil conditions throughout Parcel 5-1 were investigated by drilling a total of 9 holes at the approximate locations
shown on Figure 2. The test holes were advanced using a 4-inch diameter continuous flight power auger that allowed for disturbed and relatively undisturbed sarrpling of the subsoils.
These sarrples were returned to our laboratory for testing and review by the project engineer. As indicated by the subsurface profiles, presented on Figure 3, the subsoil conditions
varied with respect to soil types, depths and engineering characteristics. In general, the profile consisted of a surficial topsoil layer or nominal depths of fill overlying a natural
deposit of silty to sandy clays to a maximum depth of 15 feet at Test Hole 9. Fill was encountered in Test Hole 6 only and was about 2 1/2 feet thick. The natural fine-grained soils
contained scattered amounts of gravel and in general, became !!Dre granular with depth. The deposit was medium stiff to stiff in consistency and contained PJrous and slightly to highly
calcare:::>us zones. A very dense deposit of clayey sands and gravels with numerous cobbles and boulders v;as found to underlie the clay soils
-6-and 8}.'tended to the rraximum depth explored, 19 1/2 feet. Practical drill rig refusal was encountered at several locations due to material size and relative density. Free water
was not encountered at any test hole location at the time of the field investigation or when the holes were checked several days after drilling. The soils were generally rroist to slightly
moist. Sarrples obtained during the exploration program were subjected to various laboratory tests to determine their standard properties, strength and oonsolidation characteristics.
The results of consolidation tests, presented on Figures 5, 6 and 7, indicate the near surface fine-grained seils to possess low settlement potential under existing low moisture oonditions
and moderate to high settlerrent potential when subjected to wetting and increased applied load. Some of these soils alse exhibit moderate oollapse potential when wetted. A sumnary of
laboratory test results is presented on Table 1. PRELIMINARY DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Drainage Considerations: The subsoils encountered throughout the parcel are moderately to highly susceptible
to erosion from surface runoff. The upper fine-grained soils are also highly susceptible to subsurface erosion (piping). Considering the vegetative oover and gently to IlDderately sloping
ground surface, past erosion at the site has not been severe. The most extensive erosion features observed were associated with irrigation ditches where localized gully erosion and piping
was noted. The piping observed appeared to be associated with animal burrows adjacent to the ditch. The subsurface profiles obta~~ed during this investigation
-/-indicate the subs:)ils susceptible to piping occurre::: typically to depths less than 8 feet. Considering the conditions observed, erosion features and information obtainea in necrrby
crreas, we recommend the following drair~ge details be obsellTea for planning and preliminaIJ' design: (1) surface runoff should be collected and contained in lined drainage ways. Flows
across unprotected soils should be kept to less than 2.5 feet per second. Drainages or other flow paths ,,':i. th water velocities above 2.5 feet jJC-x second should be provided with
erosion resistant liners such as asphalt or concrete. Concrete liners should have a minimum thickness of 4 inches and should be reinforced. Hiprap lined ditches may be used in areas
where the drainage gradient does not exceed 5%. (2) A rodent control program should be initiated to reduce the number of burrows adjacent to drainages which could provide paths for piping.
(3) Erosion protection should be provided for local drainage swales at discharge points into natural drainages. (4) A periodic inspection of the drainage system should be conducted and
the system repaired as required. Some settlement and cracking of concrete lined ditches should be anticipated. Excavation and Site Grading: Excavation within the upper clays should be
possible with conventional equipment. More difficult conditions should be expected for confined excavations penetrating the underlying clayey gravels or gravelly clays due to boulder
content and size. Some overexcavation and vcrriable amounts of oversized material should be anticipated. Based on information obtained in nearby studies, we estilnate that approximately
5% to 25% of the material ezcavated from the deeper
-8-gravelly clays will be oversized and not be suitable for reuse in trench tackfill. Excavations penetration the clayey coarse granular soils may encounter about 20% to 40% oversized
material. 'Ihese values are estimated and probably will vary over short reaches. At shallow excavation depth, less than about 2 to 4 feet, very little oversized material is anticipated
and the majority of resulting rnaterial should be suitable for use during overlot filling. 'Ihroughout the central portion of the parcel, numerous cobbles and boulders were observed
at ground surface and rnay inhibit the use of self loading scrapers. Excavations for buildings, etc. rnade within the upper natural soils should stand on tempJrary slopes of approximately
1:1. Utility trenches should stand on near vertical slopes for a sufficient time to install bracing systems if needed. Sorre sloughing of the trench excavation should be anticipated
where granular soils are encountered. Excavated slopes should not be subjected to adverse conditions such as uncontrolled drainage, surcharge loading from excavated spoil or heavy equipment
traffic. Fill placed as trench backfill beneath pavement sections should be comeacted to at least 95% standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Hiscellaneous overlot
fill outside buildings and roadways should be compacted to at least 90% standard Proctor density. Prior to fill placetrel1t, all vegetation, topsoil, miscellaneous debris or disturbed
soils should be completely removed to firm subgrade. Foundation Recommendations: Spread footing type foundations placed at minimum depth on the upper natural clays below existing topsoil
or fill should be feasible for support of lightly loaded structures provided
-0-SC:>I1lS di::::erential m:wement can be tolerated. We anticipate that shallow spread fc:>c:>tings can be designed fc:>r a maximLllT1 soil bearing pressure ranging from 1, 000 to 3,
000 psf. Fwtings placed entirely on the underlying coarse granular soils can be designed for ITB!ldmurn'D2aring pressures between 3,000 to 6,000 psf, de]Y'Jlding on the fOW1dation depth
and ccnfiguration. low density surface soils which e):hibit high settlement p::Jtential when subjected to conditions of loading and wetting were encoW1tered in scattered areas of the
site. De]Y'Jlding on the structure type and tolerable settlement, overexcavation or eAi:ending the footings to lower competent bearing IlEterial could be used to increase bearing capacity
and reduce settlement p::Jtential. Good surface drainage and restriction of irrigation on slopes adjacent to buildings will be essential to prevent wetting of bearing soils and to reduce
probability of fOW1dation settlement. Considering the variable bearing conditions and probable structural requirements, additional investigation should be conducted for a specific building
site once building type and grading plans have been developed. Floor Slabs: The upper natural soils other than topsoil, disturbed soils or existing fill should be suitable to Sllpp::Jrt
lightly loaded floor slabs. Sc:>rne settlement of the near surface silty clays could oc= if subjected to wetting. To reduce the effect of some differential movement, floor slabs should
be separated from bearing members with a p::Jsitive e},.'pansion joint and be adequately reinforced. A rninirnLllT1 4-inch layer of gravel should be provided imrediately beneath floor
slabs to distribute loading and facilitate concrete placement.
-10-corrosion Potential: water soluble sulfate tests were performed on a soil sample obtained from Hole 9 at 1 foot to evaluate the corrosion potential of the near surface soils. The
results are presented on Table 1. Based on these results and previous work conducted in nearby projects, the soils generally appear to be noncorrosive under existing low moisture oondi
tions. However, when wetted, the oorrosion potential could increase significantly. Protective coatings or use of approved nonmetalic pipes should be oonsidered in buried utilities to
extend the life expectancy. He recomnend the use of Type II or Type II modified cerrent with a C3A content less than 5% in concrete exposed to the natural soils. Pavement Reoommendations:
The subsoil oonditions encountered at shallow depth across the site oonsist primarily of slightly sandy and silty clays and gravelly clays. These soils have AASHTO Classifications of
A-4 to A-7-6 with group indices of about 7 to 22 and are considered to be poor subgrade for support of pavement sections. COnsidering the general subsoil oonditions and assumed light
traffic loadings, the following pavement sections are indicated: Street Classification Pavement Section COllector (30 EDIA) IDeal Services (5 EDIA) CUl-de-sac & Parking Lot Drives (2
EDIA)· AutoIrDbile Parking Lots Asphaltic concrete (inches) 3 2 2 2 Base COurse (inches) 10-13 8-10 6-8 4-6
Prior to pla2~~-Dt of pav~~t rraterials, the subgrade should J:>2 cleared of all vegetation and debris and the 8.posed surface sh::lUld be scarified to a depth of 8 inches, moistened
and compacted to at least 95% standard Proctor density. Required fill should also be compacted tc at least 95% standard Pro2tor density at a moisture content near optimum. The above
pavement sections are preliminary and a final analysis should be conducted once rough grading has been performed. LIMITATIONS This report has been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted geotechnical engineering practices in this area for use by the client for preliminary design purposes. The conclusions and reccmmendations presented in this repcrt are based
on the data obtained from the exploratory holes drilled at the locations indicated on the exploratory hole plan, Figure 2. Subsoils encountered in ehploratory holes indicate the general
conditions across the site. Variations with respect to depth, type and engineering characteristics oould occur. Additional subsurface studies should be oonducted for individual structures
once grading plans and building requirerrents have been determined. CHEN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. BY~-,o-~~~~~~~~ Ronald J. Vasquez, E.I.T. Reviewed By ~~~~~~~-=~---2}P:/~ick Dickens Bill

CONCLUSIONS (1) The subsoil c::lDditions vary with respect to type, depth and engineering characteristics. C?--nerall 0', they consist of an upper sandy to silty clay with scattered
9"~avels extending from nil to ab:::>ut 13 1/2 feet in depth and overlie a dense granular dep:::>sit of gravel, cobbles and boulders in a sandy clay rratrix. (2) The pro]Xlsed buildings
can be founded with spread footings placed on the natural fine-grai11ed soils or lower gravels and designed for soil bearing pressures in the range of 1,000 to 3,000 psf. Footings placed
entirely on the underlying coarse granular soils can be designed for bearing pressures ranging from 3,000 psf to 6,000 psf. (3) The upper clays are generally of relatively low density
and contain --------~J55retJS_Zenes_;_______'I'he3e__3oi-ls__are_suscept:i:bte-w--erosioll and may possess a high settle.'Tl2l1t p:::>tential up:::>n wetting. Surface drainage reccmmendations

-2-SCOPE TIlls re]Xlrt presents the results of a preliminary soil and foundation investigation for the proposed residential development to be located on Parcel 5-2, Battlement Mesa Development,
Garfield County, Colorado. A vicinity map showing the location of the proposed developnent is presented on Figure 1. The re]Xlrt presents the general subsoil conditions, re=mrnended
type foundation and ranges of allowable bearing pressures, pavement recommendations and other soil related design and construction details. PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION Chen and Associates
previously conducted a geotechnical and geological ---------------,evaltla~Bn_fgr~e_Battlement Mesa Development reported under our Job No. 11,833 and dated January 16, 1975. Information
contained within that report has been reviewed and utilized in preparation of this report. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The pro]Xlsed development will consist of low density residential units
throughout the parcel. No specific design information concerning type of construction for the residential units has been provided at the time of this report preparation. However, we
expected development to consist primarily of light residential wood frame structures with minor excavations required.
SITE CJNDITIONS At the time of me field investigation, me parcel was relatively lh'1developed. Construction equiprrent and trailers wwe stored along the s::lUm central and sout.l-Jeast
portions of the parcel. The remainder of me area waS covered in native grasses and weeds and appeared to have been used previously for grazing. Several scattered areas of stockpiled
boulders or waste rraterial were additionally located throughout the site. The general area slopes gradually to me west with an elevation difference across me site from east to west
of approyJIrately 110 feet. Studt Gulch borders the nOl-th and was dry at the time of the field investigation and Soum Battlement Parkway borders to me normwest aJld county Roads 302
and 308 borders me soum and east, respectively. GEDLOGIC SEITING The general site geology at me Battlement Mesa Project area was observed and described in me preliminary Subsoil and
Geologic Study reported under our Job No. 11,833 dated January 16, 1975. A geologic reconnaissance Vias also conducted for me present investigation of Parcel 5-2. The parcel is located
on me western portion of me Battlement Creek alluvial fan. which is ,oomposed of interlayered mudflow and alluvial secli.rTPJ1ts. Deposition of me fan began during late Quaternary time.
During this ti~e, climatic conditions were quite varied resulting in alluvial deposition along historic drainages during fairly dry periods and mudflow dep:: £i tion during wet periods.
-4-The mudflow deposits are characterized by heterogeneous miAtures of gravel, cobbles and boulders embedded in a sandy clay rratrix. The alluvial sediments are generally m::>re stratified
and usually show some degree of sorting. Based on the subsoils encountered during this investigation, it appears that primarily mudflow sediments were encountered. 1he upper clays or
alluvial soils were derived from reworking of the underlying mudflow deposits and silts by Holocene and recent streams. Bedrock underlying this site is the Eocene Wasatch Formation.
Bedrock was not encountered in any of the test holes drilled during this investigation and is deeper than 100 feet in other parts of the development. In our opinion, the geclogic conditions
of the site do not present a major hazard to the proposed development. We do not anticipate any unusual problems associated with the site geology or soil conditions, provided that good
engineering practices are followed. Excavations penetrating the lower granular soils may encounter boulders which may require special excavation considerations. 1he upper fine-grained
soils are moderately to highly susceptible to surface and subsurface erosion. Erosion potential and recommended drainage considerations are discussed in a later section of this report.
SUBSOIL CONDITIONS The general subsoil conditions throughout Parcel 5-2 were investigated by drilling a total of 12 holes.at the approximate locations shown on Figure 2. 1he test holes
were advanced using a 4-inch diameter continuous flight power auger which allowed for disturbed and relatively undisturbed sampling of the subsoils. 1he samples were then returned to
our laboratory for testing and review by the project engineer.
-5-P£ indicate::3. by "dl.e subsur::ace profiles, presB'1ted on Figures 3 and 4, the subsoil c:Jndi tions vary v.'i th respect to soil types, depths and engineering characteristics.
In ge~eral, the profile consisted of a surficial topsoil layer overlying a natural deposit of silty to sandy and gravelly clays. The clays frequently were of relatively low density with
some porous zones and became calcareous and llDre granular with depth. These soils extended to a may.imurn depth encountered of 13 1/2 feet at Test Holes 7 and 10. A very dense deposit
of sand, gravel, cobbles and boulders in a sandy clay matrix was found to underlie the upper fine-grained soils and e},.tend to the maximum depth eA'Plored, 20 feet. The granular deposit
contained numerous vesicular cobbles and boulders. Practical drill rig refusal was encountered at several locations due to material size and relatively density. Free water was not encountered
-----------eldt:ir±ng-the-fie-ld--±nvesti-gation and the s\.lbsolls m general were sllghtly rroist to rroist. Sarrples obtained during the eA'Ploration program were subjected to various
laboratory tests to determine their standard properties, strength and consolidation characteristics. The results of swell-consolidation tests, presented on Figure 5 through 9, indicate
the near surface finegrained soils to possess low settlement potential under existing low llDisture conditions and rroderate to high settlement potential when subj ected to wetting and
increased applied load. Some of these soils also exhibit rroderate collapse potential when wetted. A summary of laJXlratory test results is presented on Table 1. PRELIl1INARY DESIGN
REJ:n'lMENDATIONS Drair0ge Considerations: The subsoils encountered throughout the parcel are moderately to highly susceptible to erosion from surface lCL~off.
-6-'!:he upper fine-grained soils are also highly susceptible to subsurface erosion (piping). Considering the vegetative cover and gently to rroderately Sloping ground surface, past
erosion at the site does not appear to have been severe. The rrPst extensive erosion features observed were associated with irrigation ditches and localized gully erosion and piping,
observed wi thin Studt Gulch to the inmediate north. The piping observed appeared to be associated with animal burrows adjacent to the ditch. Subsurface profiles obtained during this
investigation, indicate the soils susceptible to piping occurred typically to depths less than 8 feet. Considering the subsoil oonditions observed, erosion features and inforrration
obtained in nearby areas, we recorrmend the following drainage details be observed for planning and preliminary design. (1) Surface runoff should be collected and contained in lined
drainageways. Flows across unprotected soils should be kept to less than 2.5 feet per second. Drainages or other flow paths with water velocities above 2.5 feet per second should be
provided with erosion resistant liners such as asphalt or concrete. Concrete liners should have a min:inrum thickness of 4 inches and should be reinforced. Riprap lined ditches may be
used in areas where the drainage gradient does not exceed 5%. (2) A rodent oontrolled program should be initiated to reduce the number of burrows adjacent to drainages which could provide
paths for piping. (3) Erosion protection should be provided for local drainage swales at discharge points into natural drainages. (4) A periodic inspection of the drainage system should
be conducted

eguiprrent. Ivt)re di::ficult conditions sh:)uld be expected for confined excavati:ms p2.:.'1etrating the 1.rr.d.erlying coarse go.cained soils due to boulder c::mtent ru"ld size. Some
overexcavation and variable aJTDunts of oversized material should be anticipated. Based on the information obtaL'1ed in nearby stUdies, we estiKated that approximately 5% to 25% of the
material excavated fmm the deepc..x gravelly clays will be oversized and not suitable fore reuse in trench bacl:fil1. Excavations penetrating the clayey coarse go.canular soils may encounter
about 20% to 40% oversized material. These values are estimated and probably will vary over short reaches. ----------------------~At Shallow excavation depth, less fj,an abOut 2 to 4
feet, very little oversized material is anticipated and the majority of the resulting material should be suitable for use during overlot filling. Throughout the central portion of the
parcel and ,,>ithin the proPJsed development, numerous cobbles and roulders were observed at grOlmd surface which may inhibit the use of self-loading scrapo..xs. Excavations for buildings
etc. made within the upper natural soils should stand on tempJrary slopes of approximately 1:1. Utility trenches should stand on near vertical slopes for a sufficient time to install
bracing systems if needed. SJme sloughing of the trench excavation should be anticipated where granular sJEs are encountered. Excavated slopes should not be subjected to adverse conditions
such as uncontrolled drainage, surcharge loading fcom excavated spoil or heavy equip.'118nt traffic. Fill placed as trench b3cJ:fill b2l1eath pavercent sections should be rompacted "cO

topsoil and miscella'1eous debris or disturbed soils should be completely removed to firm subgrade. FOW1dation Recol!1lT2ndations: Spread footing type fOW1dations placed at a minimum
depth in the upper natural clays below any existing fill or topsoil should be feasible for support of lightly loaded structures provided some differential lIDvement can be tolerated.
We anticipate that shallow spread footings can be designed for J1BxirrnJIll soil bearing pressures ranging froIll 1,000 to 3,000 psf. Footings placed entirely on the underlying coarse
granular soils can be designed for a rnaxirnurn bearing pressure between 3,000 and 6,000 psf depending on fOW1dation depth and configuration. Low density surface soils which exhibit
high settlement potential when ---------ssuJ;,~ect.eil to conditions of loading and wetting, were encountered in scattered areas of the site. Depo...nding on the structural type and
tolerable settlerrent, overexcavation or extending the footings to lower conpetent bearing materials can be used to increase bearing capacity and reduce settlement potential. Good surface
drainage and restriction of irrigation on slopes adjacent to buildings will be essential to prevent wetting of bearing soils and to reduce probability of foundation settlement. Considering
the variable bearing conditions and probable structural requirements, additional investigations should be conducted for specific building sites once building type and grading plans have
been developed. Flcor Slabs: The upper natural soils other than topsoil, disturbed soils or existing fill should be suitable to support lightly loaded flcor slabs. Some settlement of
the near surface silty clays could oc= if
-0-subjecte:::1 to wetting. To re::1u8E thE: e££e~t of sorre differential ITOverrent , flOClr slabs sh:JUld be separated from b=aring rrembers with a p::>sitive e}~lJansion joint and
be adequately reinforced. A minir1U.lm 4-inch layer of gravel smuld be provided immediately lx,neath floor slabs to distribute loading and facilitate concrete placement. Corrosion Potential:
Water soluble sulfate tests were perfoL1Th2d on soil sarrples obtained fmID Hole 1 at 4 feet and Hole 4 at 5 feet to evaluate the ooLTosion potential of the near surface soils. Results
are presented on Table I. Based on these results and previous work conducted on nearby projects, these soils generally appear to be noncorrosive under existing low IlDisture conditions.
However, when wetted the corrosion potential would increase significantly . Protective ooatings or use of approved nonmetallic pipes should be considered in buried utilities to extend
the life 2-'''pectancy. We recoIm1end the use of Type II or Type II IlDdified cement having a C3A content less than 5% in concrete exposed to the natural soils. Pavement Recommendations:
The subsoil conditions encountered at shallow depth across the site consist primarily of slightly sandy to silty clays and gravelly clays. These soils have A~HTO classification of A-4
to A-7-6 with group indices of about 7 to 15 and are considered to be relatively poor subgrade for support of pavement sections. Considering the subsoil conditions and the assumed light
traffic loadings, the following preliminary pavement sections are indicated: Street Classification Asphaltic Concrete Base Course (Inches) (Inches) Collector (30 EDlA) 3 10-13 IDeal
Services (5 EDlA) 2 8-10 Cul-de-Sac & Parking IDt 2 6-8 Drives (2 EDlA) ~"'utormbile Park:L'1g lot 2 4-6
-10-Prior to place~~t of pavement materials, the subgrade should be cleared of all vegetation, debris and the e).posed surface should be scarified to a depth of 8 inches, IIDistened
and corrpacted to at least 95% standard Proctor density. Required fill should also be corrpacted to at least 95% standard Proctor density at a roisture content near optimum. The above
paveITP-nt sections are preliminary and a final analysis should be conducted once rough grading has been po-rformed. LJMITATIONS This report has been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted geotechnical engineering practices in this area for use by the client for preliminary design purposes. The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based
on the data obtained from the exploratory hOlestlr±tlBdc-at-the--leeatdGBs-:illdicatecLi.n the exploratory hole plan, Figure 2. Subsoils encountered in the exploratory holes indicate
the general conditions across the site. variations with respect to depth, type and engineering characteristics could oc=. Additional subsurface study should be conducted for individual
structures once grading plans and building requirerrents have been determined. RJV/dc cc: Dick Dickens Bill Wilde Bill Black CHEN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. By~~~~~----~~~ ROnald J. Vasquez,
