MOVED BUILDINGS
In order to understand the scope of the work intended under a permit application and expedite the
issuance of a permit it is important that complete information be provided. When reviewing a plan
and it's discovered that required information has not been provided by the applicant, this will result
in the delay of the permit issuance and in proceeding with building construction. The owner or
contractor shall be required to provide this information before the plan review can proceed. O ther
plans that are in line for review may be given attention before the new information may be revi ewed
after it has been provided to the Building Department.
Please review this document to determine if you have enough information to design your
project and provide adequate information to facilitate a plan review. Also, please consider
using a design professional for assistance in your design and a construction professional for
construction of your project. Any project with more than ten (10) occupants requires the
plans to be sealed by a Colorado Registered Design Professional.
To provide for a more understandable plan in order to determine compliance with the building,
plumbing and mechanical codes, applicants are requested to review the following checklist prior to
and during design. Applicants are required to indicate appropriately and to submit the
completed checklist at time of application for a permit.

Subject: Subsoil Study for Foundation Design and Percolation Test, Proposed
Residence, Tract 3, Tamburello North, County Road 210, Garfield County,
Colorado
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Nielsen:
As requested, Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. performed a subsoil study and
percolation test for foundation and septic disposal designs at the subject site. The study
was conducted in accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering services to
you dated January 17, 2007. The data obtained and our recommendations based on the
proposed construction and subsurface conditions encountered are presented in this report.
Proposed Construction: The proposed residence will be a single story, wood frame
structure over a walkout basement located in the area of the exploratory pits shown on
Figure l . Ground floors are proposed to be slab-on-grade. Cut depths are expected to
range between about 3 to 6 feet. Foundation loadings are assumed to be relatively light
and typical of the proposed type of construction. The septic disposal system is proposed
to be located west and downhill of the proposed residence.
If building conditions or foundation loadings are significantly different from those
described above, we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations presented in
this report.
Site Conditions: The site was vacant at the time of our field exploration and is located at
the top of a small, steeply sided mesa north of County Road 21 0. A rough graded road
accesses the site from the west. The ground surface in the proposed building area is
relatively flat with a gentle slope down to the northwest. Vegetation consists of scattered
grass and sage brush with some pinon trees. Wasatch Formation bedrock is visible along
the steep sides of the mesa below the north and east sides of the proposed building area.
Subsurfa~e Conditions: The subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by
excavating two exploratory pits in the building area and one profile pit in the septic
disposal area at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1. The logs of the pits are
presented on Figure 2. The subsurface profile, below about ~ foot of topsoil, typically
consists of weathered s iltstone/sandstone interbedded with claystone layers overlying
hard to cemented siltstone/sandstone bedrock (Wasatch Formation) down to the
maximum explored depth of 5 feet in the profile pit. Digging in the bedrock was difficult
due to the hardness of the rock and cemented sandstone layers, and practical digging

refusal was encountered in the deposit after only a few feet of penetration. Results of
swell-consolidation testing performed on relatively undisturbed samples of the upper
weathered bedrock are presented on Figure 3 and typically indicate low to moderate
compressibility under existing low moisture conditions and light loading. The sample of
weathered claystone showed a low expansion potential when wetted. No free water was
observed in the pits at the time of excavation and the bedrock was slightly moist.
Foundation Recommendations: Considering the subsurface conditions encountered in
the exploratory pits and the nature of the proposed construction, we recommend spread
footings placed on the undisturbed bedrock materials designed for an allowable bearing
pressure of2,500 psffor support of the proposed residence. The claystone portion of the
weathered bedrock can possess an expansion potential after wetting and result in some
post-construction building movement. The heave potential of the bearing materials
should be further evaluated at the time of construction. Footings should be a minimum
width of 16 inches for continuous walls and 2 feet for columns. Topsoil, expansive
claystone, and loose/disturbed bedrock fragments encountered at the foundation bearing
level within the excavation should be removed and the footing bearing level extended
down to competent bedrock. Exterior footings should be provided with adequate cover
above their bearing elevations for frost protection. Placement of footings at least 36
inches below the exterior grade is typically used in this area. Excavation at the site will
be difficult due to the hardness of the bedrock and cemented sandstone layers, and
specialty techniques such as chipping, splitting or blasting may be needed. Continuous
foundation walls should be reinforced top and bottom to span local anomalies such as by
assuming an unsupported length of at least 12 feet. Foundation walls acting as retaining
structures should be designed to resist a lateral earth pressure based on an equivalent fluid
unit weight of at least 50 pcf for well-broken bedrock fragments or imported granular soil
as backfill.
Floor Slabs: The natural bedrock encountered below the topsoil is suitable to support
lightly loaded slab-on-grade construction. There is a risk of slab distress where the
subgrade consists of weathered claystone, especially if the subgrade is subjected to
moisture change. The heave potential of the subgrade should be further evaluated at the
time of construction. The expansive subgrade materials may need to be removed and
replaced with imported granular soil. To reduce the effects of some differential
movement, floor slabs should be separated from all bearing walls and columns with
expansion joints which allow unrestrained vertical movement. Floor slab control joints
should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. The requirements for joint
spacing and slab reinforcement should be established by the designer based on experience
and the intended slab use. A minimum 4 inch layer of free-draining gravel should be
placed beneath basement level slabs to facilitate drainage. This material should consist of
minus 2 inch aggregate with less than 50% passing the No.4 sieve and less than 2%
passing the No. 200 sieve.
All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95% of
maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Required fill can
consist of well-broken bedrock fragments devoid of oversized rock or imported granular
soil such as road base.

Underdrain System: Although free water was not encountered during our exploration, it
has been our experience in the area and where bedrock is shallow that local perched
groundwater can develop during times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen
ground during spring runoff can create a perched condition. We recommend below-grade
construction, such as retaining walls, crawlspace and basement areas, be protected from
wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup by an underdrain system.
The drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the wall backfill
surrounded above the invert level with free-draining granular material. The drain should
be placed at each level of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish
grade and sloped at a minimum l% to a suitable gravity outlet. Free-draining granular
material used in the underdrain system should contain less than 2% passing the No. 200
sieve, less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and have a maximum size of 2 inches. The
drain gravel backfill should be at least l Y:z feet deep.
Surface Drainage: The following drainage precautions should be observed during
construction and maintained at all times after the residence has been completed:
1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be
avoided during construction.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and
compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density in
pavement and slab areas and to at least 90% of the maximum standard
Proctor density in landscape areas. Free-draining wall backfill should be
capped with about 2 feet of finer graded soils to reduce surface water
infiltration.
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be
sloped to drain away from the foundation in all directions. We
recommend a minimum slope of 6 inches in the first 1 0 feet in unpaved
areas and a minimum slope of2Y:z inches in the first 10 feet in pavement
and walkway areas.
4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backfilL
Percolation Testing: Percolation tests were conducted on January 18, 2007 to evaluate
the feasibility of an infiltration septic disposal system at the site. One profile pit and four
percolation holes were excavated at the locations shown on Figure 1. The test holes
(nominall2 inch diameter by 12 inch deep) were hand dug at the bottom of shallow
backhoe pits and soaked with water one day prior to testing. The materials exposed in the
percolation holes are similar to those exposed in the profile pit shown on Figure 2 and
consisted of 4 feet of weathered siltstone/sandstone overlying hard siltstone/sandstone
bedrock. Rigid foam insulation was used to cover the percolation test holes and prevent
freezing overnight. Temperatures measured in the percolation test holes ranged between
34 and 35 degrees Fahrenheit. The percolation test results are presented in Table 2.
Percolation test results indicated infiltration rates between 20 and 120 minutes per inch. A
civil engineer should design the infiltration septic disposa] system.

Limitations: This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted
geotechnical engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no
warranty either expressed or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted
in this report are based upon the data obtained from the exploratory pits excavated at the
locations indicated on Figure I, the proposed type of construction and our experience in
the area. Our services do not include determining the presence, prevention or possibility
of mold or other biological contaminants (MOB C) developing in the future. If the client
is concerned about MOBC, then a professional in this special field of practice should be
consulted. Our findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the subsurface
conditions identified at the exploratory pits and variations in the subsurface conditions
may not become evident until excavation is perfonned. If conditions encountered during
construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be notified at
once so re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We
are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the
project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during
construction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to
verify that the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design
changes may require additional analysis or modifications to the recommendations
presented herein. We recommend on-site observation of excavations and foundation
bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a representative of the geotechnical
engineer.
If you have any questions, or if we may be of further assistance, please let us know.
