Subject: Observation of Excavation, Proposed Duplex, Lot D-19, Aspen Glen,
Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Mr. Savato
As requested, a representative of Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. observed the
excavation at the subject site on July 17, 2015 to evaluate the soils exposed for foundation
support. The findings of our observations and recommendations for the foundation
design are presented in this report. We previously conducted a subsoil study for design of
foundations at the site and presented our findings in a report dated February 9, 2015, Job
No. 1 l 5 021A.
At the time of our visit to the site, the foundation excavation had been cut in one level
From 2 to 3 feet below the adjacent ground surface. The soils exposed in the bottom of
the excavation consisted of sandy silty clay. No free water was encountered in the
excavation and the soils were slightly moist to moist and the excavation base was firm.
The soil conditions exposed in the excavation are consistent with those previously
encountered on the site and suitable for support of spread footings designed for the
recommended allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. Loose and disturbed soils should
be removed in the footing areas to expose the undisturbed natural soils. Other
recommendations presented in our previous report which are applicable should also be
observed.

The recommendations submitted in this letter are based on our observation of the soils
exposed within the foundation excavation and the previous (limited) subsurface
exploration at the site. Variations in the subsurface conditions below the excavation
could increase the risk of foundation movement. We should be advised of any variations
encountered in the excavation conditions for possible changes to recommendations
contained in this letter.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call our office.
Sincerely,
HEPWORTH - PAWLAK GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
