THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS In order to subdivide land in Garfield County, an Applicant is required to complete the following land use processes in the following order: 1) Sketch Plan Review Process, 2) Preliminary Plan Review Process, and 3) Final Plat Review Process. This section will briefly describe the nature of each process and provide general direction including subdivision regulation citations to a potential applicant requesting subdivision approval in Garfield County. All of the Garfield County Zoning and Subdivision Regulations are located for purchase at the Planning Department and can also be found on the World Wide Web at the following address: http:llwww.garfield-countv.comfbuildinq and planning/index.htm A) The Sketch Plan Review (Section 3:00 of the Subdivision Regulations) 1. Purpose The purpose of the Sketch Plan process is to allow an individual an opportunity to propose a subdivision in a "sketch" format to the Planning Department and the Garfield County Planning Commission in order to obtain a cursory review for compliance with the County's land use review documents, regulations, and policies to identify any issues that would need to be addressed if the proposed subdivision were to be pursued. 2. Applicability Any individual proposing a subdivision in Garfield County is required to complete the Sketch Plan review process as the first step in Garfield County's Subdivision process. More specifically, Garfield County defines a subdivision (Section 2.20.48) as the division of a lot, tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts, parcels or separate interests, or the use of any parcel of land for condominiums, apartments or other multiple -dwelling units, as further defined by Colorado state law. 3. Application / Submittal Requirements In order to apply for a Sketch Plan Review an Applicant is responsible for reviewing Section 3:00 of the Subdivision Regulations and providing enough information to the Planning Department in the application to conduct a thorough review and provide the resulting comments to the Planning Commission for their review and comments. Specifically, Section 3:30, 3:32, and 3:40 of the Subdivision Regulations contain the specific information required to be submitted to the Planning Department in order to satisfy the application requirements in addition to the information requested on this application form. 4. Process / Public Meeting The Sketch Plan review process is considered a 1 -step process because the application is reviewed only by the Planning Commission at a public meeting. In order to appear before the Planning Commission, an applicant will have submitted all required application submittal requirements mentioned above to the Planning Department Staff. Once submitted, Staff will have 15 working days to review the application to determine if all the required submittal information has been submitted as required. If Staff determines that all the required information has been submitted, a letter will be sent to the applicant indicating the application has been deemed "technically complete." It is at this point Staff will also indicate when the application has been 3 scheduled to be reviewed before the Planning Commission and will request the applicant supply additional copies to provide the Commission for their review. If Staff determines that all the required information has not been submitted, a letter will be sent to the applicant indicating the application does not comply with the submittal requirements and therefore has determined the application to be "technically incomplete." The letter will also outline the applications deficiencies so that the applicant knows what additional information needs to be submitted. At this point, the applicant has 6 months (180 days) to provide the necessary information to the Planning Department to remedy the application so that it may be deemed technically complete. If the application has not been deemed technically complete within this time, the application will be terminated. Once the application has been deemed technically complete and a date has been established as to when the Planning Commission will review the application, Staff will conduct a land use review of the application using the County's land use regulatory documents including the Zoning Resolution, Subdivision Regulations, and the Comprehensive Plan of 2000. In addition, Staff will also consider referral comments provided from a variety of state and local agencies who may also review the application. As a result, Staff will write a Memorandum on the proposed subdivision to the Planning Commission containing the results on the land use analysis. This Memorandum will also be furnished in advance to the applicant. At the date and time set for the public meeting before the Planning Commission, Staff will present the findings in the Memorandum and the applicant will be required to present the proposed subdivision and respond to comments and questions provided by the Planning Commission. The comments provided to the Applicant by the Planning Department and the Planning Commission as a result of the Sketch Plan Process will be kept on file in the Planning Department for 1 -year from the meeting date before the Planning Commission. If an Applicant does not submit a Preliminary Plan application to the Planning Department within the 1 -year timeframe, the Sketch Plan file will be closed and the Applicant will need to reapply for a Sketch Plan review prior to a Preliminary Plan review. B) Preliminary Plan Review (Section 4:00 of the Subdivision Regulations) 1. Purpose The purpose of the Preliminary Plan review process is to conduct a thorough review of the many aspects that are associated with dividing land in Garfield County for the purposes of residential, commercial, and industrial development. This is the most intensive review step where the Building and Planning Staff, the Planning Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will conduct a thorough review of all the issues associated with the proposed subdivision against the County's regulatory requirements. Ultimately, the purpose of this process is to identify all the major issues in the proposed subdivision by using the County's Zoning Resolution, Subdivision Regulations, Comprehensive Plan of 2000, as well as other state and local referral agencies that will provide comments on any issues raised in their review. This is the process that will either approve or deny the application request. 4 2. Applicability Any individual proposing a subdivision in Garfield County is required to complete the Preliminary Plan review process as the second and most intensive step in Garfield County's Subdivision process. More specifically, Garfield County defines a subdivision as the division of a lot, tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts, parcels or separate interests, or the use of any parcel of land for condominiums, apartments or other multiple -dwelling units, as further defined by Colorado state law. 3. Application / Submittal Requirements In order to apply for a Preliminary Plan Review, an Applicant must have already completed the Sketch Plan review process addressed in Section 3:00 of the Subdivision Regulations. An applicant requesting Preliminary Plan review will be required to submit this application form, all the required submittal information contained in Sections 4:40 to 4:94 of the Subdivision Regulations as well as address all of the applicable Design and Improvement Standards in Section 9:00 of the Subdivision Regulations. In addition to the substantive submittal information related to the proposed subdivision project itself, an applicant is required to complete all the public notice requirements so that legal public hearings can be held before the Planning Commission and the BOCC which is addressed in Sections 4:20 — 4:31 of the Subdivision Regulations. 4. Process / Public Hearings The Preliminary Plan review process is considered a 2 -step process because the application is ultimately reviewed by two County decision-making entities during public hearings: the Planning Commission who makes a recommendation to the BOCC. In order to obtain dates for the public hearings before the Planning Commission and the BOCC, an applicant will have submitted all required application submittal requirements mentioned above to the Planning Department Staff. Once submitted, Staff will have 30 working days to review the application to determine if all the required submittal information has been submitted as required. If Staff determines that all the required information has been submitted, a letter will be sent to the applicant indicating the application has been deemed "technically complete." It is at this point Staff will also indicate when the application has been scheduled to be reviewed before the Planning Commission / BOCC. Additionally, Staff will provide the applicant with the notice forms to be mailed, published, and posted. If Staff determines that all the required information has not been submitted, a letter will be sent to the applicant indicating the application does not comply with the submittal requirements and therefore has determined the application to be "technically incomplete." The letter will also outline the applications deficiencies so that the 5 applicant knows what additional information needs to be submitted. At this point, the applicant has 6 months (180 days) to provide the necessary information to the Planning Department to remedy the application so that it may be deemed technically complete. If the application has not been deemed technically complete within this time, the application will be terminated. Once the application has been deemed technically complete and a date has been established as to when the Planning Commission / BOCC will review the application, Staff will conduct a land use review of the application using the County's land use regulatory documents including the Zoning Resolution, Subdivision Regulations, and the Comprehensive Plan of 2000. In addition, Staff will also consider referral comments provided from a variety of state and local agencies who may also review the application. As a result, Staff will write a Memorandum on the proposed subdivision to the Planning Commission / BOCC containing the results on the land use analysis. This Memorandum will also be furnished in advance to the applicant prior to the public hearings. As mentioned above, Staff makes a recommendation to the Planning Commission and the BOCC regarding the issues raised in the analysis of the proposed subdivision. The Applicant will first propose the subdivision to the Planning Commission who is responsible for making a recommendation of approval, approval with conditions, or denial to the BOCC. Next, the application will be reviewed by the BOCC during a regular public hearing. The BOCC will consider the recommendations from the Planning Staff and the Planning Commission, the information presented by the applicant, and the public. As a result, the BOCC is the final decision-making entity regarding the proposed subdivision and will either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application. If the BOCC approves the subdivision application at the public hearing, the approval shall be valid for a period not to exceed one (1) year from the date of Board approval, or conditional approval, unless an extension of not more than one (1) year is granted by the Board prior to the expiration of the period of approval. (See the specific information provided in Section 4:34 of the Subdivision Regulations.) Following the hearing, Staff will provide a resolution signed by the BOCC which memorializes the action taken by the Board with any / all conditions which will be recorded in the Clerk and Recorder's Office. Once an applicant has Preliminary Plan approval, they are required to complete the third and final step in the County's Subdivision Process: Final Plat Review. C) Final Plat Review (Section 5:00 of the Subdivision Regulations) 1. Purpose The purpose of the Final Plat review process is to provide the applicant with a mechanism to prove to the County that all the conditions of approval required during the Preliminary Plan review process have been met / addressed to the satisfaction of the Planning Staff and the BOCC. This being the case, the chairman of the BOCC will 6 sign the Final Plat and have it recorded memorializing the subdivision approval granted by the BOCC. This is the fast step in the County's subdivision process. 2. Applicability Any individual proposing a subdivision in Garfield County is required to complete the Final Rat review process as the third and last step in Garfield County's Subdivision process. More specifically, Garfield County defines a subdivision as the division of a lot, tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts, parcels or separate interests, or the use of any parcel of land for condominiums, apartments or other multiple -dwelling units, as further defined by Colorado state law. 3. Application / Submittal Requirements In order to apply for a Final Plat review, an Applicant must have already completed the Preliminary Plan review process addressed in Section 4:00 of the Subdivision Regulations. An applicant requesting Final Plat review will be required to submit this application form, all the required submittal information contained in Section 5:00 of the Subdivision Regulations and responses to all the conditions of approval required as part of the Preliminary Ran review process. 4. Process The Final Plat review process is considered a 1 -step process because the application is ultimately reviewed by the Building and Planning Staff and presented to the BOCC for their signature if the application satisfies all the required submittal information to the satisfaction of the Building and Planning Department. If Staff determines that all the required information has been submitted, a letter will be sent to the applicant indicating the application has been deemed "technically complete." It is at this point Staff will also indicate when the application has been scheduled to be presented to the BOCC for signature. (This is not a public hearing or meeting and therefore does not require public notice.) If Staff determines that all the required information has not been submitted, a letter will be sent to the applicant indicating the application does not comply with the submittal requirements and therefore has determined the application to be "technically incomplete." The letter will also outline the applications deficiencies so that the applicant knows what additional information needs to be submitted. Once the application has been deemed technically complete and a date has been established as to when the BOCC will review the Final Plat, Staff will review the application / Final Plat in terms of adequacy to determine if all the submittal information satisfies the Final plat requirements as well as the responses to the conditions of approval. During this review, Staff will forward the Final Plat the County Surveyor for review and a signature. In the event there are additional questions or clarification issues to be addressed, the County Surveyor will generally contact the applicant to have the plat adjusted as necessary. Once, Staff has completed the review and all required information has been submitted to the satisfaction of the Planning Department 7 and the County Surveyor has signed the Final Plat in Mylar form, it will be scheduled at the next BOCC meeting to be placed on the consent agenda with a request to authorize the Chairman of the BOCC to sign the plat. Once the Final Plat is signed, it is then recorded by the County Clerk in the Clerk and Recorder's Office for a fee of $11 for the first sheet and $10 for each additional sheet thereafter. This fee shall be paid by the applicant. This act of recording the signed Final Plat represents the completion of the Garfield County Subdivision Process. Please refer to the specific language in the Final Plat portion (Section 5:00) of the Subdivision Regulations for specific timelines and additional responsibilities required of the applicant to complete the Final Plat process. Please Note: This information presented above is to be used as a general guide for an applicant considering a subdivision in Garfield County. It is highly recommended that an applicant either purchase the Garfield County Zoning Resolution and Subdivision Regulations or access them on-line at: http://www.garfield-countv.comlbuildinq and pianninglindex.htm in order to ascertain all the necessary requirements for each of the three steps including Sketch Plan Review, Preliminary Plan Review, and Final Plat Review.

RE: North Bell Ranch Preliminary Plan Mr. Pesnichak, JUN 2 2007 The following is in reference to your letter dated May 18, 2007. Please find attached copies of additional information for our Preliminary Plan submittal of North Bell Ranch. The information attached is as follows: 1. Updated Preliminary Plan map with names and addresses, vicinity map, lot setbacks, stream setbacks from an intermittent drainage. Also included are the plat notes. (addresses items 1, 3, 6 of your letter) 2. West Divide Water Conservancy District contracts numbered S070322NTB#2(a) and S070322NTB#3(a) to supply water for Lots 2, 3 and 4. Contract number 3(a) includes a copy of well permit number 272032. Lot 1 will utilize the exempt well permit already provided. (addresses items 4 and 5) 3. Grand Junction Laboratories test results on the existing well located an Lot 2 indicating satisfactory water. The required testing for domestic water wells is for Bacteriological contaminants as well as Nitrates and Nitrites. The test results include negative indication for Bacteria, 0.56 mg/1 of Nitrates and 0.00 mg/I of Nitrites. The allowable limit for Nitrates is 10 mg/1 so the results are well below the limits. Given the test results, it is the opinion of this Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado and qualified to perform such work that the water to be provided for the subdivision from the domestic wells will be similar in character to the existing well and the myriad of other wells in the area. (addresses item 5D) The area of the proposed subdivision is not prone to radiation hazards above normal background levels. Since radiation is not an issue in this area it was not listed as a concern by the Geotechnical Engineer. (addresses item 2) From discussions with the Burning Mountain Fire District Chief Brit Mclin, we are proposing to require ail new residential construction to have fire sprinkler suppression systems installed. A holding tank or series of holding tanks totaling 10,000 gallons will also be provided at a location determined suitable to the Fire District for access. The storage can also be achieved with a raw storage source. (addresses item 7) Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. Bell Consulting, LLC. Nathan J. Bell, P.

Quantity: Water applied for by the Applicant in the amount set forth above shall be diverted at Applicants point of diversion from the District's direct flow water rights, and when water is unavailable for diversion pursuant to administration by the Colorado State Engineer during periods when said direct flow water right is not in priority, the District shall release for the use of Applicant up to said quantity in acre feet per year of storage water owned or controlled by the District. It is understood that any quantity allotted from direct flow, storage or otherwise, to the Applicant by the District will be limited by the priority of the District's decrees and by the physical and legal availability of water from District's sources. Any quantity allotted will only be provided so long as water is available and the Applicant fully complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Contract. The District and the Applicant recognize that some of the District's decrees may be in the name of the Colorado River Water Conservation District, and the ability of the District to allot direct flow right to the Applicant may be dependent on the consent of the Colorado River Water Conservation District. If at any time the Applicant determines it requires less water than the amount herein provided, Applicant may so notify the District in writing, and the amount of water allotted under this Contract shall be reduced permanently in accordance with such notice. Rates shall be adjusted accordingly in following water years only. 3. Beneficial Use and Location of Beneficial Use: Any and all water allotted Applicant by the District shall be used for the following beneficial use or uses: industrial, municipal, domestic and related uses, or commercial (except for commercial use from Alsbury Reservoir and except to the extent that Ruedi Reservoir water may not be available for commercial as that term is defined on Page 5 of Contract No. 2-07-70-W0547 between the United States and the West Divide Water Conservancy District).

Michael Langhorne, L.S. Bell Consulting, LLC. Bookcliff Survey Services, Inc. 230 C.R. 261 136 E. 3rd St. Silt, CO 81652 Rifle, CO 81650 (970) 948-3153 (970) 625-2773 May 1, 2007 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE North Bell Ranch Subdivision will divide two 2 plus acre lots and a 4 plus acre lot from an existing 35 - acre parcel with the remaining 26 -acres encompassing the farming/ranching operations of the property. The existing residence will be on one of the 2 -acre parcels and the second 2 -acre parcel and the 4 -acre parcel will have a building envelope allowing a single family residence on each. The remaining 26 -acre parcel will allow a single family residence. The purpose of this application is to request Preliminary Plan approval for North Bell Ranch Subdivision as depicted in the attached documents and plans. The proposed North Bell Ranch Subdivision is located on Silt Mesa just north of the Silt Mesa Road (CR 233). The property is bounded on the south by the Silt Mesa Road (CR 233). County Road 214 and a single family parcel; on the east by County Road 228 (Pretti Lane); on the west by County Road 261 (Groff Lane); on the north by private parcels. The property topographically consists of a level bench area on the west adjacent to CR 261 separated from a bench area and the irrigated pasture to the east by two drainage channels converging within the property. The drainage channels have relatively steep sides with varying degrees of height up to approximately 15 -feet. No development is proposed within the drainage channels. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT North Bell Ranch Subdivision (NBRS) proposes two lots (Lots 2 and 3) along the western edge of the property each being 2 plus acres in size. These lots abut County Road 261 and will have direct access to the County Road. Proposed Lot 2 will contain the existing single family residence with an existing driveway. Currently, there are 5 parcels on the west side of CR 261 ranging in size from 1.63 to 3.74 acres with accesses onto CR 261. These parcels contain single family residences with no agricultural or ranching production. The two parcels directly to the west of the existing residence have approximately 1 - acre building sites due to the steep hillside on the west side of the parcels. Proposed Lot 4 will be 4 plus acres in size and will be located in the southwest corner of the property with access being provided via the existing ranch access road off of County Road 233. The remaining approximately 26 -acres of the property (Lot 1) will have a single family residence and will contain the irrigated hay field along with the agricultural/ranching structures which are to remain in use. These structures currently consist of a hay barn and riding arena. North Bell Ranch Subdivision May L 2007 rage 1 of 3 SUBMITTAL ITEMS The following outlines and discusses the submittal items as required by the Subdivision Regulations of Garfield County, Section 4, Preliminary Plan. For ease of review and following the code, the discussion is being provided in outline form with reports in the Appendixes. The Preliminary Plan is provided as a large scale map.

No additional parking beyond single family use E. All building envelopes and areas are outside of topographically constrained areas as indicated on the Preliminary Plan map. F. The area does not hare radiation levels above regular background levels — see Geology reports attached. G. Title commitment — see APPENDIX A H. A subdivision of section is not required Sec. 4:70 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: GEOLOGY, SOIL, VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE A. Geology — APPENDIX B reports related to the geology and soil for the site have been prepared by Yeh and Associates. B. Soils — APPENDIX C C. Vegetation — APPENDIX D D. Wildlife — the low density of the proposed subdivision is not anticipated to have a negative impact on the wildlife within the area. No development is proposed in the areas utilized most by wildlife, ie.drainages, hillside, hay field. County GIS mapping indicates the development lies within the following wildlife areas: Elk wiinter range; Mule deer winter range with a resident population; Canada goose wintering area. Sec. 4:80 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: DRAINAGE PLAN A drainage plan with calculations is provided in APPENDIX E indicating that the extremely low density of the subdivision does not produce additional runoff in excess of historic runoff rates. This lack of increased rate of runoff is due to the addition of lawn type area around proposed North Bell Ranch Subdivision May 1. 2007 Page 2 of 3 4 residences in such a low density situation. As an example, a house with a large yard is placed in a slightly vegetated area ►►'here the runoff from a storm is relatively high due to the soil type and lack of vegetation. Obviously more runoff is created from the building and driveway surfaces (in this case gravel). However, the yard around the residence is assumed to have much better vegetative cover (lawn grasses) which reduces the runoff. No development is proposed within the drainage channels where flooding due to large scale storms may occur. Sec. 4:90 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: UTILITY PLAN 4,91 Water supply — The lots will be served by individual wells either as an exempt well or a well augmented with a contract for water from the West Divide Conservancy District. Lot 1� will be served by the exempt domestics well as drilled by Shelton Drilling. The drilling report indicates a potential yield of 3 -gallons per minute. Lot 2 will be screed by the existing well -72"4-1-)4;,4 having a yield of 8 -gallons mr. mina nd covered by a West Divide contract for water.

The site investigation consisted of geologic reconnaissance and exploratory drilling to investigate subsurface conditions. Two test holes were drilled within the proposed building footprint. A representative of Yeh and Associates observed drilling of the test holes. The project personnel examined samples obtained during the field exploration and representative samples were subjected to laboratory testing to deterrnine the engineering characteristics of materials encountered, Based on our investigation, Yeh and Associates completed an engineering analysis of the subsurface conditions. This report summarizes our field investigation, the results of our analysis, and our conclusions and recommendations based on the proposed construction, site reconnaissance, subsurface investigation, and results of the laboratory testing. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION We understand the proposed construction would consist of a one to two-story residential structure with a full basement. We anticipate the structure would be wood framed. The residence would likely be supported on footing foundations. Foundation bads are anticipated to be between 1,000 and 3,000 psf. Cuts on the order of 8 to 10 feet below existing grade are planned to achieve foundation elevation for the residence, We anticipate minor grading around the building to establish drainage and flatwork. SITE CONDITIONS The site is located on Lot 1 within the North Bell Ranch Subdivision in Garfield County, Colorado (Figure 1). The proposed building site is located on a vacant parcel within an agricultural area. The site is relatively flat and was previously used for livestock and other farm operations. An existing residence is located about 500 feet to the northwest with County Road 1 Bell Residence Project No. 27-003A 261 beyond. Vacant land is located around the proposed residence. A small ephemeral drainage is located to the southeast. The site gently slopes down to the southeast at grades of less than 5 percent. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Subsurface conditions were investigated by drilling two exploratory borings at the approximate locations presented on Figure 1. The test holes were drilled on January 16, 2007. The test holes were drilled using a Dietrich D-50 to pre -determined depths where modified California samples were obtained. The results are shown on Appendix A. Modified California samples were collected using a 2 -inch I.D. sampler driven into the subsoils with a 140 -pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of blows needed to drive the sampler constitutes the blow count. For example, a value on the log (Appendix A) of 14/12 indicates the sampler was driven 12 inches with 14 blows of the hammer. The blow count can be used as a relatively measure of material stiffness or density. The collected samples were transported to our laboratory where they were examined and classified. Laboratory tests included moisture content, dry density, swell/consolidation, grain size analysis and Atterberg limit testing_ The subsoils encountered in the test holes consisted of variable amounts of sand, clay and silt. The sand was medium dense to very dense and the clay and silt was stiff to very stiff. Bedrock was not encountered in any of the test holes. Sand samples tested had 33 to 44 percent fines (material passing the No. 200 sieve) and was non -liquid and non -plastic. Clay samples tested had 54 to 71 percent fines. Atterberg limit test results indicated the clay had a liquid limit of 25 percent and plasticity index of 7 percent. One clay sample exhibited low swell of 0.6 percent and one sand sample exhibited 3.3 percent compression when wetted under an applied pressure of 1,000 psf. The laboratory test results are presented in Appendix B and are summarized in the Summary of Laboratory Test Results table. Groundwater was not encountered in any of the test holes during drilling, and the subsoils were slightly moist to moist. The holes were backfilled for livestock safety reasons. Variations in groundwater conditions may occur seasonally. The magnitude of the variation will be largely dependent upon the amount of spring snowmelt, duration and intensity of precipitation, local landscape irrigation practices, site grading changes, and the surface and 2 Bell Residence Project No. 27-003A subsurface drainage characteristics of the surrounding area. The existing pond when filled with water could be a source of groundwater that could impact the proposed structure depending on planned elevations. Perched water tables may be present, but were not encountered in any of the test holes. EXPANSIVE SOIL RISK The site appeared suitable for the proposed construction. Potentially expansive soils will require particular attention in the design and construction. We believe there is a low risk of poor slab -on -grade and foundation performance due to swelling or collapsible soils. We estimate movements of basement slabs and exterior fiatwork of about 1 inch or Tess could occur. Expansive soils are stable at current moisture conditions. Upon wetting these soils increase in volume and could cause movement of slabs -on -grade. The amount of movement is dependent on the availability of water due to landscape irrigation and surface drainage and the structural tolerances to movement. Slab -on -grade construction for basement or garage areas is considered acceptable provided the owner accepts the risk of potential slab movement. The expansive soils can be mitigated by subexcavation. Subexcavation consists of removal of the expansive soils, moisture conditioning of the soils and placement as a moisture conditioned, controlled fill. If selected, we recommend subexcavation to a depth of 8 feet below foundation or slab level or to the gravel soils, whichever is shallower. Subexcavation can also be performed by removing 3 feet of the expansive clay below improvements and replacing the material with a non -expansive granular fill. We estimate potential movements of less than 1 -inch, if subexcavation is performed. SITE DEVELOPMENT We anticipate cuts of about 8 to 10 feet from existing grade may be necessary to reach foundation level. Fill placement should be minor. Areas to receive fill should be stripped of vegetation, organic soils and debris. The on-site soils free of organic matter, debris and rocks larger than 6 inches can be used in fills. Fill should be placed in thin, loose lifts of 8 inches thick or less, moisture conditioned to 0 to 3 percent above optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density (ASTM D 698). Granular soils can be moisture conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content. Placement and compaction of fill should be observed and tested by a representative of the geotechnical engineer. 3 Bell Residence Project No. 27-003A FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the materials encountered in the test holes and our laboratory test results, we anticipate foundation soils would consist of low swelling clay and silt soils, We believe there is a low risk of heave related damage due to expansive soils and therefore a low risk of foundation movement. We anticipate foundation movements of less than 1 -inch. If the owner is not willing to accept the risk, a deep foundation alternative such as caissons or micropiles should be considered. If the owner is willing to accept the risk of foundation movement, the structure can be supported on a footing foundation designed to maintain a minimum deadload. Recommended design and construction criteria for both foundation alternatives are presented below. Footings with Minimum Deadload 1. Foundations should be constructed on undisturbed, natural soils. Loose, disturbed soils encountered at foundation level should be removed and replaced with compacted fill or the foundation should be extended to undisturbed soils. 2. Footing foundations can be designed for a maximum allowable soil pressure of 3,000 psf. The footing foundation should be designed with a minimum deadload pressure of 1,000 psf. 3. Continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of at least 16 inches. Foundation pads for isolated columns should have a minimum dimension of 20 inches by 20 inches. 4. In order to maintain the minimum dead load pressure, it may be necessary to design and construct a system of grade beams and isolated footing pads. To maintain the minimum dead load pressure on footings, a minimum 4 inch void space should be provided beneath the grade beams between footing pads (if utilized). 5. Resistance to sliding at the bottom of the footing can be calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.30. Passive pressure against the side of the footing can also be considered for the sliding resistance if it is properly compacted. Passive pressure can be estimated based on an equivalent fluid density of 250 pcf for a level backfill. 6. Grade beams and foundation walls should be reinforced to span undisclosed loose or soft soil areas. We recommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsupported distance of at least 10 feet. 7. The soils below exterior footings or exterior edges of stabs should be protected from freezing. We recommend the bottom of footings be constructed at least 3 4 Bell Residence Project No. 27-003A feet below finished exterior grade or as required by local municipal code. 8. All foundation excavations should be observed by an experienced engineering geologist or geotechnical engineer prior to placement of concrete. BELOW -GRADE CONSTRUCTION A basement is planned for this residence. Foundation walls that extend below grade should be designed for lateral earth pressure where backfill is not present at about the same level on both sides of the wall. Walls that can deflect or rotate about 0.5 to 1 percent of the wall height can be designed for "active" earth pressure conditions. For a very rigid wall where negligible deflection will occur, an "at -rest" lateral earth pressure condition can be used. Typically, below -grade walls in residences can rotate under normal design loads, and deflections result in acceptable performance. If on-site soils are used as backfill, we recommend using an equivalent fluid density of 50 pcf for design of below grade walls for "active" conditions_ This value assumes that some minor cracking is acceptable. If negligible deflections are desired, a higher ("at rest") equivalent fluid density should be used for design. For 'at rest" conditions, an equivalent fluid density of 60 pcf can be used for design. These equivalent fluid densities do not account for sloping backfill, surcharges or hydrostatic pressure. SLABS -ON -GRADE Based on our investigation, garage and driveway slabs will likely be underlain by low swelling clay soils. We believe there is a low risk of poor slab -on --grade performance due to swelling or collapsible soils. Slab -on -grade movements of about 1 inch or less could occur if subgrade soils are saturated. If a finished basement is planned for the residence, given the engineering characteristics of clays, consideration should be given to use of structural floor systems in basement areas or ground modification, such as subexcavation and moisture conditioning, to the depths recommended above. The on-site soils, free of organics and debris, are suitable to support lightly loaded slabs -on -grade. Slabs should be separated from all Toad bearing walls and columns with expansion joints that allow at least 2 inches of vertical movement. Control joints should be used to reduce damage from shrinkage cracking. All fill below slabs should be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density at 0 to 3 percent above optimum moisture content. 5 Bell Residence Project No, 27-003A SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE Surface water typically flows through permeable wall backfill and collects at the backfill and natural soil interface resulting in saturated foundation soils and/or wet basement conditions. To reduce water accumulation outside foundation walls and in basement areas, a foundation drain should be installed around the exterior or interior of the foundation walls. The drain should consist of a 4 -inch diameter, perforated pipe encased in free draining gravel. The gravel should be 3A to 1.5—inch washed rock with less than 5 percent fines. The drain should be provided with a gravity discharge such as a sump pit where water can be removed by pumping or daylighted. The pipe should be sloped at a minimum of 0.5 percent and be installed 12 to 18 inches away from and parallel to the footing foundation. The bottom of the pipe should be at least 4 inches below the bottom of footing level at the high point. Crawlspace areas should also be provided with adequate ventilation. SURFACE DRAINAGE Surface drainage is crucial to the performance of foundations and flatwork. We recommend the ground surface surrounding the building be sloped to drain away from the structure. We recommend a slope of at least 6 inches in the first 10 feet away from the residence for landscape areas. Paved areas can be sloped at a minimum of 0.5 percent away from the structure. Backfill around foundations should be moisture conditioned and compacted as recommended in the SITE DEVELOPMENT section. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge beyond the backfill area. LIMITATIONS The analyses and recommendations presented in this report are based upon our data obtained from the test holes at the indicated locations, field observations, laboratory testing, our understanding of the proposed construction and other information discussed in this report. It is possible that subsurface conditions may vary between or beyond the points explored. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction. If variations appear, we should be contacted immediately so we can review our report in Tight of the variations and provide supplemental recommendations as necessary. We should also review the report if the scope of the proposed construction, including the proposed loads, finished elevations or structure locations, change from those described in this report. The conclusions 6 Bell Residence; Project No. 27-003A and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid unless Yeh and Associates reviews the changes and either verifies or modifies the conclusions of this report in writing. The scope of services for this project did not include, specifically or by implication, any environmental or biological (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the site or identification or prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials or conditions or biological conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination, conditions or pollution, other studies should be undertaken. The report was prepared in substantial accordance with the generally accepted standards of practice for geotechnical engineering as exist in the site area at the time of our investigation. No warranties, express or implied, are intended or made. The recommendations in this report are based on the assumption that Yeh and Associates will conduct an adequate compliance with our program of construction testing and observation recommendations.

The location of the subject site is presented on Figure 1. The purpose of the study was to develop recommendations for design and construction of single-family residence on the subject lot The field investigation consisted of drilling two exploratory borings at the approximate location shown on Figure 1. Samples of the subsurface materials were collected and returned to our laboratory for testing. The results of our field and laboratory programs were evaluated to develop recommendations for building foundations and surface and subsurface drainage. This report summarizes the information obtained during our investigation and presents our recommendations based on the proposed construction and subsurface conditions encountered. Based on our investigation, Yeh and Associates completed an engineering analysis of the subsurface conditions. This report summarizes our field investigation, the results of our analysis, and our conclusions and recommendations based on the proposed construction, site reconnaissance, subsurface investigation, and results of the laboratory testing. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The proposed residence will be a one to two-story wood framed structure with a basement. For basement construction, foundation excavations are on the order of 8 to 10 feet deep. We anticipate the main level floor will be structurally supported. Foundation loads will likely be on the order of 1,000 to 3,000 pounds per linear foot. We anticipate minor grading around the building to establish drainage and flatwork. SITE CONDITIONS The site is located on Lot 3 within the North Bell Ranch Subdivision in Garfield County, Colorado (Figure 1). The proposed building site is located on a vacant lot within an agricultural area. The site was previously used for livestock and other farm operations. An existing residence is located about 200 feet to the north. County Road 261 borders the lot to the west. Vacant land is located to the south and east of the proposed residence. The site slopes down to the southeast at grades of 15 to 20 percent. 1 Lot 3 North Bell Ranch Subdivision Project No. 27-003B SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Subsurface conditions were investigated by drilling two exploratory borings at the approximate locations presented on Figure 1. The test holes were drilled on January 16, 2007. The test holes were drilled using a Dietrich D-50 to pre --determined depths where modified California samples were obtained. The results are shown on Appendix A. Modified California samples were collected using a 2 -inch I.D. sampler driven into the subsoils with a 140 -pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of blows needed to drive the sampler constitutes the blow count. For example, a value on the log (Appendix A) of 14/12 indicates the sampler was driven 12 inches with 14 blows of the hammer. The blow count can be used as a relatively measure of material stiffness or density. The collected samples were transported to our laboratory where they were examined and classified. Laboratory tests included moisture content, dry density, grain size analysis and Atterberg limit testing. The subsoils encountered in the test holes consisted of variable amounts of sand, day and silt. The sand was loose to medium dense and the clay and silt was stiff to very stiff. Bedrock was not encountered in any of the test holes. A single sand sample tested had 45 percent fines (material passing the No. 200 sieve). Clay and silt samples tested had 52 to 59 percent fines. Atterberg limit test results indicated the day had a liquid limit of 26 percent and plasticity index of 7 percent. The silt sample was non -liquid and non -plastic. The laboratory test results are presented in Appendix B and are summarized in the Summary of Laboratory Test Results table. Groundwater was not encountered in any of the test holes during drilling, and the subsoils were slightly moist to moist. The holes were backfilled for livestock safety reasons. Variations in groundwater conditions may occur seasonally. The magnitude of the variation will be largely dependent upon the amount of spring snowmelt, duration and intensity of precipitation, local landscape irrigation practices, site grading changes, and the surface and subsurface drainage characteristics of the surrounding area. Perched water tables may be present, but were not encountered in any of the test holes. SITE DEVELOPMENT We anticipate cuts of about 8 to 10 feet from existing grade may be necessary to reach foundation level. Fill placement should be minor. Areas to receive fill should be stripped of vegetation, organic soils and debris. The on-site soils free of organic matter, debris and rocks 2 Protect No, 27-003B Lot 3 North Sell Ranch Subdivision larger than 6 inches can be used in fills. Fill should be placed in thin, loose lifts of 8 inches thick or less, moisture conditioned to 0 to 3 percent above optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density (ASTM D 698). Granular soils can be moisture conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content. Placement and compaction of fill should be observed and tested by a representative of the geotechnical — engineer. FOUNDATIONS RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the results of our subsurface investigation, we believe the residence can be supported on footing foundations placed on the natural soils or properly compacted fill. Based on our experience and laboratory test results, we believe there is a low risk of hydrocompaction and therefore a low risk of foundation movement provided the following recommendations are followed. The following design and construction details should be observed for spread footings placed on the natural soils or properly compacted fill. 1. Foundations should be constructed on undisturbed, natural soils. Loose, disturbed soils encountered at foundation level should be removed and replaced with compacted fill or the foundation should be extended to undisturbed soils. 2. Footing foundations can be designed for a maximum allowable soil pressure of 2,000 psf. The design pressure may be increased by 1/3 or as allowed by local code, when considering total loads that include wind or seismic conditions. 3. Continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of at least 18 inches. Foundation pads for isolated columns should have a minimum dimension of 24 inches. 4. Resistance to sliding at the bottom of the footing can be calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.30. Passive pressure against the side of the footing can also be considered for the sliding resistance if it is properly compacted. Passive pressure can be estimated based on an equivalent fluid density of 250 pcf for a level backfill. 5. Grade beams and foundation walls should be reinforced to span undisclosed loose or soft soil areas. We recommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsupported distance of at least 10 feet. 6. The soils below exterior footings or exterior edges of slabs should be protected from freezing. We recommend the bottom of footings be constructed at least 3 feet below finished exterior grade or as required by local municipal code. 7. All foundation excavations should be observed by a representative of the geotechnical engineer prior to placement of concrete. 3 Lot 3 Project No. 27-0038 North Bell Ranch Subdivision BELOW -GRADE WALLS A basement is planned for this residence. Foundation walls that extend below grade should be designed for lateral earth pressure where backfill is not present at about the same level on both sides of the wall. Walls that can deflect or rotate about 0.5 to 1 percent of the wall height can be designed for "active" earth pressure conditions. For a very rigid wall where negligible deflection will occur, an "at -rest" lateral earth pressure condition can be used. Typically, below -grade walls in residences can rotate under normal design loads, and deflections result in acceptable performance. If on-site soils are used as backfill, we recommend using an equivalent fluid density of 50 pcf for design of below grade walls for `active" conditions. This value assumes that some minor cracking is acceptable. If negligible deflections are desired, a higher ("at rest") equivalent fluid density should be used for design. For "at rest" conditions, an equivalent fluid density of 60 pcf can be used for design. These equivalent fluid densities do not account for sloping backfill, surcharges or hydrostatic pressure. SLABS -ON -GRADE Based on our investigation, basement, garage and driveway slabs will likely be underlain by silt or clay soils. We believe there is a low risk of poor slab -on -grade performance due to collapsible soils. We anticipate slab -on -grade movements of about 1 -inch or less. The on-site soils, free of organics and debris, are suitable to support lightly loaded slabs -on -grade. Slabs should be separated from all load bearing walls and columns with expansion joints that allow vertical movement. Control joints should be used to reduce damage from shrinkage cracking. All fill below slabs should be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density at 0 to 3 percent above optimum moisture content. SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE Surface water typically flows through permeable wall backfill and collects at the backfill and natural soil interface resulting in saturated foundation soils and/or wet basement conditions. To reduce water accumulation outside foundation walls and in basement areas, a foundation drain should be installed around the exterior or interior of the foundation walls. The drain should consist of a 4 -inch diameter, perforated pipe encased in free draining gravel. The gravel should be 3/ to 1.5—inch washed rock with less than 5 percent fines. The drain should be provided with a gravity discharge such as a sump pit where water can be 4 Lot 3 North Belk Ranch Subdivision Project No. 27-003B removed by pumping or daylighted. The pipe should be sloped at a minimum of 0.5 percent and be installed 12 to 18 inches away from and parallel to the footing foundation. The bottom of the pipe should be at least 4 inches below the bottom of footing level at the high point. Crawlspace areas should also be provided with adequate ventilation. SURFACE DRAINAGE Surface drainage is crucial to the performance of foundations and flatwork. We recommend the ground surface surrounding the building be sloped to drain away from the structure. We recommend a slope of at least 6 inches in the first 10 feet away from the residence for landscape areas and a minimum slope of 0.5 percent for paved areas. Backfill around foundations should be moisture conditioned and compacted as recommended in the SITE DEVELOPMENT section. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge beyond the backfill area. LIMITATIONS The analyses and recommendations presented in this report are based upon our data obtained from the test holes at the indicated locations, field observations, laboratory testing, our understanding of the proposed construction and other information discussed in this report. It is possible that subsurface conditions may vary between or beyond the points explored. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction. If variations appear, we should be contacted immediately so we can review our report in light of the variations and provide supplemental recommendations as necessary. We should also review the report if the scope of the proposed construction, finished elevations or structure locations, change from those described in this report. The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid unless Yeh and Associates reviews the changes and either verifies or modifies the conclusions of this report in writing. The scope of services for this project did not include, specifically or by implication, any environmental or biological (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the site or identification or prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials or conditions or biological conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination, conditions or pollution, other studies should be undertaken. The report was prepared in substantial accordance with the generally accepted standards of practice for geotechnical engineering as exist in the site area at the time of our 5 Lot 3 Project No. 27.003B North Bell Ranch Subdivislon investigation. No warranties, express or implied, are intended or made. The recommendations in this report are based on the assumption that Yeh and Associates will conduct an adequate program of construction testing and observation to evaluate compliance with our recommendations.

Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation fruni long -duration storms. The soils in the United States are placed into four groups A, 8, C, and 1), and three dual classes, A/D, BID, and C/D. Definitions of the classes are as follows: The four hydrologic soil groups are: Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet, These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission. Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission. Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission. Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runcrffpotential) when -thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink -swell potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a elaypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (AID, BID, or CID), the first letter is for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only soils that are rated D in their natural condition arc assigned to dual classes.

The understory consists of Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitterbrush, and big sagebrush. When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper- ly managing the vegetation maintains wood production and ground cover. The value for grazing is low because of steep slopes and tree cover. Firewood, posts, and Christmas trees can be harvested on the more gently sloping areas. This soil is suited to production of pinyon and Utah juniper. It can produce 9 cords of wood per acre when trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an average diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches, The low available water capac- ity affects survival of tree seedlings. Steep slopes and severe erosion hazard affect harvesting. Mule deer, chukar, wild turkey, gray squirrel, and cot- tontail rabbit find habitat on this soil. Community development is limited by large stones and steep slopes. Structures to divert runoff are needed for roads. This soil is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigated. 35-1ldefonso-Lazear complex. 6 to 65 percent slopes. Moderately sloping to very steep soils are on hillsides and mesa breaks.

Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used mainly for irrigated crops and hay. Alfalfa, small grains, corn for silage, and grass or grass - legume mixtures are grown. Small acreages are in fruits, including apples, peaches, and apricots. Isolated areas are used for grazing. This soil is irrigated by furrows and flooding. Sprinklers are also suitable. Drop structures in irrigation ditches help to control water and prevent excessive ditch ero- sion. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat - grass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira- ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly managing grazing maintains and improves range condi- tion. Reducing brush improves deteriorated range. Seed- ing improves range in poor condition. Crested wheat - grass, western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye are suit- able for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Cottontail rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, and some mule deer find habitat on this soil. Community development and recreation are limited by low strength.

This report is intended to accompany the submittal of the proposed Subdivision to the Garfield County Planning Department. The development is to consist of 3 lots 2 -acres to 4 -acres in size with the remaining 26 -acres making up the 4th lot. The purpose of the study is to ascertain the off site drainage impacts to this site and how development of the Lots will impact flows from the site. The development is very low density and therefore impacts have been determined to be minimal Historic Off Site Impacts Off site drainage through the site consists primarily of runoff through two channels within the property. The channels are of sufficient size to contain all storm runoff without impacting any of the proposed development sites. County Road 261 on the west side of the project acts as a buffer to runoff from the hillside to the west that may impact Lots 2 and 3. This flow is directed in a roadside ditch to the south along the west side of the road until it reaches a culvert crossing under CR 261 south of the proposed building envelopes. Due to the configuration of the Lots and the placement of building sites within the lots, there will be insignificant impacts to proposed structures from off site runoff. Historic On Site Flows Historically the site has drained toward the two main channels crossing the property, one running north to south and one running northeast to southwest. Both channels converge and leave the site in the southwest corner of the property. The property consists of a variety of ground cover including a single family residence with yard, an irrigated hay field, pinion/juniper/sage covered hillsides, dry land and grassy channels. Since all drainage leaves the site in a single location the entire parcel was considered a single basin. The 100 -year storm runoff from the site is included in the table below. Developed Flows Analysis Development of the lots will have a minimal impact on the runoff from the site due to the low density being proposed. An increase in runoff occurs when the impermeable area of the overall site is increased. The proposed residences and hard driving surfaces associated with the residences will constitute an increase in the amount of impermeable area. However, this will be off set by the increase in lawn type yard areas which have a higher permeability than the native ground. Calculations illustrating the above for the peak runoff flows utilized the methodology given in the Soil Conservation Service's "Technical Release No. 20, Urban Hydrology" which is based upon the North Bell Ranch, Garfield County, CO March 30, 2007 Page 1 of 5 TR -55 methodology adapted for computer calculation. Based on the NOAA atlas precipitation maps that cover the project area, the 2 -year, 24-hour precipitation event and 100 -year, 24-hour event were estimated to be 1.0 and 2.4 inches respectively. The SCS soils mapping for the area list the soils in the area in the Hydrologic Group B. The developed peak runoff flows for the property are included in the following table: Peak Run Basin Acreage Q100 Historic 1 Peak Runoff (cis) Q100 Developed Peak Runoff (cfs) North Bell Ranch 35.23 4.00 4.00 100 -year Floodplain The 100 -year floodplain has not been mapped in the area of the development. However, no structures are proposed within the significant channels crossing the property. These channels will contain flood events up to the I 00 -year event so no significant negative impact will result in the structures. Summary This storm runoff analysis indicates that no on site detention or improvements to existing structures is warranted due to the development of the property_ If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call 970-625-4933.

The lots are in the SW1/4 of Section 31, Township 5 South, Range 91 West 6th P.M. in Garfield County, Colorado. The percolation tests were performed for the construction of Individual Sewage Disposal Systems for each of the proposed new lots. Profile holes were also excavated in each of the sites to a depth of 8 -feet, Three percolation tests were conducted for each proposed lot utilizing the continuous head method for measuring percolation rates. The data for the tests are attached as a spreadsheet. The percolation rates recommended for each of the lots are as follows: Lot 1 = 20 minutes/inch Lot 3 = 25 minutes/inch Lot 4 = 25 minutes/inch The profile holes were excavated to a depth of 8 -feet in the same area as the percolation tests. The soil all of the profile holes were fairly consistent with 6 -inches to 8 -inches of topsoil with the remainder being a silty sand and clay. The above percolation rates are consistent with a material of this type. The above percolation rates should be utilized for the design of Septic Systems for each of the lots. The bottom of the leach fields should be constructed approximately 4 -feet below existing grade. 13e11 Consulting, LLC. athan J.

The location of the subject site is presented on Figure 1. The purpose of the study was to develop recommendations for design and construction of single-family residence on the subject lot. The field investigation consisted of drilling two exploratory borings at the approximate location shown on Figure 1. Samples of the subsurface materials were collected and returned to our laboratory for testing. The results of our field and laboratory programs were evaluated to develop recommendations for building foundations and surface and subsurface drainage. This report summarizes the information obtained during our investigation and presents our recommendations based on the proposed construction and subsurface conditions encountered. Based on our investigation, Yeh and Associates completed an engineering analysis of the subsurface conditions. This report summarizes our field investigation, the results of our analysis, and our conclusions and recommendations based on the proposed construction, site reconnaissance, subsurface investigation, and results of the laboratory testing. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The proposed residence will be a one to two-story wood framed structure with a basement. For basement construction, foundation excavations are on the order of 8 to 10 feet deep. We anticipate the main level floor will be structurally supported. Foundation Toads will likely be on the order of 1,000 to 3,000 pounds per linear foot. We anticipate minor grading around the building to establish drainage and flatwork. SITE CONDITIONS The site is located on Lot 3 within the North Bell Ranch Subdivision in Garfield County, Colorado (Figure 1). The proposed building site is located on a vacant lot within an agricultural area. The site was previously used for livestock and other farm operations. An existing residence is located about 200 feet to the north. County Road 261 borders the lot to the west. Vacant land is located to the south and east of the proposed residence. The site slopes down to the southeast at grades of 15 to 20 percent. Lot 3 Project No. 27-003B North Bell Ranch Subdivision SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Subsurface conditions were investigated by drilling two exploratory borings at the approximate locations presented on Figure 1. The test holes were drilled on January 16, 2007. The test holes were drilled using a Dietrich D-50 to pre -determined depths where modified California samples were obtained. The results are shown on Appendix A. Modified California samples were collected using a 2 -inch I.D. sampler driven into the subsoils with a 140 -pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of blows needed to drive the sampler constitutes the blow count. For example, a value on the log (Appendix A) of 14/12 indicates the sampler was driven 12 inches with 14 blows of the hammer. The blow count can be used as a relatively measure of material stiffness or density. The collected samples were transported to our laboratory where they were examined and classified. Laboratory tests included moisture content, dry density, grain size analysis and Atterberg limit testing. The subsoils encountered in the test holes consisted of variable amounts of sand, clay and silt. The sand was loose to medium dense and the clay and silt was stiff to very stiff. Bedrock was not encountered in any of the test holes. A single sand sample tested had 45 percent fines (material passing the No. 200 sieve). Clay and silt samples tested had 52 to 59 percent fines. Atterberg limit test results indicated the clay had a liquid limit of 26 percent and plasticity index of 7 percent. The silt sample was non -liquid and non -plastic. The laboratory test results are presented in Appendix B and are summarized in the Summary of Laboratory Test Results table. Groundwater was not encountered in any of the test holes during drilling, and the subsoils were slightly moist to moist. The holes were backfilled for livestock safety reasons. Variations in groundwater conditions may occur seasonally. The magnitude of the variation will be largely dependent upon the amount of spring snowmelt, duration and intensity of precipitation, local landscape irrigation practices, site grading changes, and the surface and subsurface drainage characteristics of the surrounding area. Perched water tables may be present, but were not encountered in any of the test holes. SITE DEVELOPMENT We anticipate cuts of about 8 to 10 feet from existing grade may be necessary to reach foundation level. Fill placement should be minor. Areas to receive fill should be stripped of vegetation, organic soils and debris. The on-site soils free of organic matter, debris and rocks 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Lot 3 Project No. 27-003B North Bell Ranch Subdivision larger than 6 inches can be used in fills. Fill should be placed in thin, loose lifts of 8 inches thick or less, moisture conditioned to 0 to 3 percent above optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density (ASTM D 698). Granular soils can be moisture conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content. Placement and compaction of fill should be observed and tested by a representative of the geotechnical engineer. FOUNDATIONS RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the results of our subsurface investigation, we believe the residence can be supported on footing foundations placed on the natural soils or properly compacted fill. Based on our experience and laboratory test results, we believe there is a low risk of hydrocompaction and therefore a low risk of foundation movement provided the following recommendations are followed. The following design and construction details should be observed for spread footings placed on the natural soils or properly compacted fill. 1. Foundations should be constructed on undisturbed, natural soils. Loose, disturbed soils encountered at foundation level should be removed and replaced with compacted fill or the foundation should be extended to undisturbed soils. 2. Footing foundations can be designed for a maximum allowable soil pressure of 2,000 psf. The design pressure may be increased by 1/3 or as allowed by local code, when considering total loads that include wind or seismic conditions. Continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of at least 18 inches. Foundation pads for isolated columns should have a minimum dimension of 24 inches. 4. Resistance to sliding at the bottom of the footing can be calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.30. Passive pressure against the side of the footing can also be considered for the sliding resistance if it is properly compacted. Passive pressure can be estimated based on an equivalent fluid density of 250 pcf for a level backfill. 5. Grade beams and foundation walls should be reinforced to span undisclosed loose or soft soil areas. We recommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsupported distance of at least 10 feet. 6. The soils below exterior footings or exterior edges of slabs should be protected from freezing. We recommend the bottom of footings be constructed at least 3 feet below finished exterior grade or as required by local municipal code. 7. All foundation excavations should be observed by a representative of the geotechnical engineer prior to placement of concrete. 3 Lot 3 Project No, 27-003B North Bell Ranch Subdivision BELOW -GRADE WALLS A basement is planned for this residence. Foundation walls that extend below grade should be designed for lateral earth pressure where backfill is not present at about the same level on both sides of the wall. Walls that can deflect or rotate about 0.5 to 1 percent of the wall height can be designed for "active" earth pressure conditions. For a very rigid wall where negligible deflection will occur, an "at -rest" lateral earth pressure condition can be used. Typically, below -grade walls in residences can rotate under normal design loads, and deflections result in acceptable performance. If on-site soils are used as backfill, we recommend using an equivalent fluid density of 50 pcf for design of below grade walls for "active" conditions. This value assumes that some minor cracking is acceptable. If negligible deflections are desired, a higher ("at rest") equivalent fluid density should be used for design. For "at rest" conditions, an equivalent fluid density of 60 pcf can be used for design. These equivalent fluid densities do not account for sloping backfill, surcharges or hydrostatic pressure. SLABS -ON -GRADE Based on our investigation, basement, garage and driveway slabs will likely be underlain by silt or clay soils. We believe there is a low risk of poor slab -on -grade performance due to collapsible soils. We anticipate slab -on -grade movements of about 1 -inch or less. The on-site soils, free of organics and debris, are suitable to support lightly loaded slabs -on -grade. Slabs should be separated from all load bearing walls and columns with expansion joints that allow vertical movement. Control joints should be used to reduce damage from shrinkage cracking. All fill below slabs should be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density at 0 to 3 percent above optimum moisture content. SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE Surface water typically flows through permeable wall backfill and collects at the backfill and natural soil interface resulting in saturated foundation soils andfor wet basement conditions. To reduce water accumulation outside foundation walls and in basement areas, a foundation drain should be installed around the exterior or interior of the foundation walls. The drain should consist of a 4 -inch diameter, perforated pipe encased in free draining gravel. The gravel should be 3/ to 1.5 --inch washed rock with less than 5 percent fines. The drain should be provided with a gravity discharge such as a sump pit where water can be 4 Lot 3 Project No. 27-003B North Bell Ranch Subdivision removed by pumping or daylighted. The pipe should be sloped at a minimum of 0.5 percent and be installed 12 to 18 inches away from and parallel to the footing foundation. The bottom of the pipe should be at least 4 inches below the bottom of footing level at the high point. Crawlspace areas should also be provided with adequate ventilation. SURFACE DRAINAGE Surface drainage is crucial to the performance of foundations and flatwork. We recommend the ground surface surrounding the building be sloped to drain away from the structure. We recommend a slope of at least 6 inches in the first 10 feet away from the residence for landscape areas and a minimum slope of 0.5 percent for paved areas. Backfill around foundations should be moisture conditioned and compacted as recommended in the SITE DEVELOPMENT section. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge beyond the backfill area. LIMITATIONS The analyses and recommendations presented in this report are based upon our data obtained from the test holes at the indicated locations, field observations, laboratory testing, our understanding of the proposed construction and other information discussed in this report. It is possible that subsurface conditions may vary between or beyond the points explored. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction. If variations appear, we should be contacted immediately so we can review our report in light of the variations and provide supplemental recommendations as necessary. We should also review the report if the scope of the proposed construction, finished elevations or structure locations, change from those described in this report. The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid unless Yeh and Associates reviews the changes and either verifies or modifies the conclusions of this report in writing. The scope of services for this project did not include, specifically or by implication, any environmental or biological (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the site or identification or prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials or conditions or biological conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination, conditions or pollution, other studies should be undertaken. The report was prepared in substantial accordance with the generally accepted standards of practice for geotechnical engineering as exist in the site area at the time of our 5 Lot 3 Project No. 27-003B North Bell Ranch Subdivision investigation.

The subsurface investigation was conducted to provide recommendations for foundation design, subsurface drainage, below grade construction, and backfillingfcompaction procedures for the construction of the residential structure. The findings of our investigation and recommendations for construction of the proposed residence on the subject site are presented in this report. The site investigation consisted of geologic reconnaissance and exploratory drilling to investigate subsurface conditions. Two test holes were drilled within the proposed building footprint. A representative of Yeh and Associates observed drilling of the test holes. The project personnel examined samples obtained during the field exploration and representative samples were subjected to laboratory testing to determine the engineering characteristics of materials encountered. Based on our investigation, Yeh and Associates completed an engineering analysis of the subsurface conditions. This report summarizes our field investigation, the results of our analysis, and our conclusions and recommendations based on the proposed construction, site reconnaissance, subsurface investigation, and results of the laboratory testing. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION We understand the proposed construction would consist of a one to two-story residential structure with a full basement. We anticipate the structure would be wood framed. The residence would likely be supported on footing foundations. Foundation Toads are anticipated to be between 1,000 and 3,000 psf. Cuts on the order of 8 to 10 feet below existing grade are planned to achieve foundation elevation for the residence. We anticipate minor grading around the building to establish drainage and flatwork. SITE CONDITIONS The site is located on Lot 1 within the North Bell Ranch Subdivision in Garfield County, Colorado (Figure 1). The proposed building site is located on a vacant parcel within an agricultural area. The site is relatively flat and was previously used for livestock and other farm operations. An existing residence is located about 500 feet to the northwest with County Road. 1 Bell Residence Project No. 27-003A 261 beyond. Vacant land is located around the proposed residence. A small ephemeral drainage is located to the southeast. The site gently slopes down to the southeast at grades of less than 5 percent. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Subsurface conditions were investigated by drilling two exploratory borings at the approximate locations presented on Figure 1. The test holes were drilled on January 16, 2007. The test holes were drilled using a Dietrich D-50 to pre -determined depths where modified California samples were obtained. The results are shown on Appendix A. Modified California samples were collected using a 2 -inch I.D. sampler driven into the subsoils with a 140 -pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of blows needed to drive the sampler constitutes the blow count. For example, a value on the log (Appendix A) of 14/12 indicates the sampler was driven 12 inches with 14 blows of the hammer. The blow count can be used as a relatively measure of material stiffness or density. The collected samples were transported to our laboratory where they were examined and classified. Laboratory tests included moisture content, dry density, swell/consolidation, grain size analysis and Atterberg limit testing. The subsoils encountered in the test holes consisted of variable amounts of sand, clay and silt. The sand was medium dense to very dense and the clay and silt was stiff to very stiff. Bedrock was not encountered in any of the test holes. Sand samples tested had 33 to 44 percent fines (material passing the No. 200 sieve) and was non -liquid and non -plastic. Clay samples tested had 54 to 71 percent fines. Atterberg limit test results indicated the clay had a liquid limit of 25 percent and plasticity index of 7 percent. One clay sample exhibited low swell of 0.6 percent and one sand sample exhibited 3.3 percent compression when wetted under an applied pressure of 1,000 psf. The laboratory test results are presented in Appendix B and are summarized in the Summary of Laboratory Test Results table. Groundwater was not encountered in any of the test holes during drilling, and the subsoils were slightly moist to moist. The holes were backfilled for livestock safety reasons. Variations in groundwater conditions may occur seasonally. The magnitude of the variation will be largely dependent upon the amount of spring snowmelt, duration and intensity of precipitation, local landscape irrigation practices, site grading changes, and the surface and 2 Bell Residence Project No. 27-003A subsurface drainage characteristics of the surrounding area. The existing pond when filled with water could be a source of groundwater that could impact the proposed structure depending on planned elevations. Perched water tables may be present, but were not encountered in any of the test holes. EXPANSIVE SOIL RISK The site appeared suitable for the proposed construction. Potentially expansive soils will require particular attention in the design and construction. We believe there is a low risk of poor slab -on -grade and foundation performance due to swelling or collapsible soils. We estimate movements of basement slabs and exterior flatwork of about 1 inch or Tess could occur. Expansive soils are stable at current moisture conditions. Upon wetting these soils increase in volume and could cause movement of slabs -on -grade. The amount of movement is dependent on the availability of water due to landscape irrigation and surface drainage and the structural tolerances to movement. Slab -on -grade construction for basement or garage areas is considered acceptable provided the owner accepts the risk of potential slab movement. The expansive soils can be mitigated by subexcavation. Subexcavation consists of removal of the expansive soils, moisture conditioning of the soils and placement as a moisture conditioned, controlled fill. If selected, we recommend subexcavation to a depth of 8 feet below foundation or slab level or to the gravel soils, whichever is shallower. Subexcavation can also be performed by removing 3 feet of the expansive clay below improvements and replacing the material with a non -expansive granular fill. We estimate potential movements of less than 1 -inch, if subexcavation is performed. SITE DEVELOPMENT We anticipate cuts of about 8 to 10 feet from existing grade may be necessary to reach foundation level. Fill placement should be minor. Areas to receive fill should be stripped of vegetation, organic soils and debris. The on-site soils free of organic matter, debris and rocks larger than 6 inches can be used in fills. Fill should be placed in thin, loose lifts of 8 inches thick or less, moisture conditioned to 0 to 3 percent above optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density (ASTM D 698). Granular soils can be moisture conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content. Placement and compaction of fill should be observed and tested by a representative of the geotechnical engineer. 3 Bell Residence Project No. 27-003A FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the materials encountered in the test holes and our laboratory test results, we anticipate foundation soils would consist of low swelling clay and silt soils. We believe there is a low risk of heave related damage due to expansive soils and therefore a low risk of foundation movement. We anticipate foundation movements of less than 1 -inch. If the owner is not willing to accept the risk, a deep foundation alternative such as caissons or micropiles should be considered. If the owner is willing to accept the risk of foundation movement, the structure can be supported on a footing foundation designed to maintain a minimum deadload. Recommended design and construction criteria for both foundation alternatives are presented below. Footings with Minimum Deadload 1. Foundations should be constructed on undisturbed, natural soils. Loose, disturbed soils encountered at foundation level should be removed and replaced with compacted fill or the foundation should be extended to undisturbed soils. 2. Footing foundations can be designed for a maximum allowable soil pressure of 3,000 psf. The footing foundation should be designed with a minimum deadload pressure of 1,000 psf. 3. Continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of at least 16 inches. Foundation pads for isolated columns should have a minimum dimension of 20 inches by 20 inches. 4. In order to maintain the minimum dead load pressure, it may be necessary to design and construct a system of grade beams and isolated footing pads. To maintain the minimum dead Toad pressure on footings, a minimum 4 inch void space should be provided beneath the grade beams between footing pads (if utilized). 5. Resistance to sliding at the bottom of the footing can be calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.30. Passive pressure against the side of the footing can also be considered for the sliding resistance if it is properly compacted. Passive pressure can be estimated based on an equivalent fluid density of 250 pcf for a level backfill. 6. Grade beams and foundation walls should be reinforced to span undisclosed loose or soft soil areas. We recommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsupported distance of at least 10 feet. 7. The soils below exterior footings or exterior edges of slabs should be protected from freezing. We recommend the bottom of footings be constructed at least 3 4 Bell Residence Project No. 27-003A feet below finished exterior grade or as required by local municipal code. 8. All foundation excavations should be observed by an experienced engineering geologist or geotechnical engineer prior to placement of concrete. BELOW -GRADE CONSTRUCTION A basement is planned for this residence. Foundation wails that extend below grade should be designed for lateral earth pressure where backfill is not present at about the same level on both sides of the wall. Walls that can deflect or rotate about 0.5 to 1 percent of the wall height can be designed for "active" earth pressure conditions. For a very rigid wall where negligible deflection will occur, an "at -rest" lateral earth pressure condition can be used. Typically, below -grade walls in residences can rotate under normal design loads, and deflections result in acceptable performance. If on-site soils are used as backfill, we recommend using an equivalent fluid density of 50 pcf for design of below grade walls for "active" conditions. This value assumes that some minor cracking is acceptable. If negligible deflections are desired, a higher ("at rest") equivalent fluid density should be used for design. For "at rest" conditions, an equivalent fluid density of 60 pcf can be used for design. These equivalent fluid densities do not account for sloping backfill, surcharges or hydrostatic pressure. SLABS -ON -GRADE Based on our investigation, garage and driveway slabs will likely be underlain by low swelling clay soils. We believe there is a low risk of poor slab -on -grade performance due to swelling or collapsible soils. Slab -on -grade movements of about 1 inch or less could occur if subgrade soils are saturated. If a finished basement is planned for the residence, given the engineering characteristics of clays, consideration should be given to use of structural floor systems in basement areas or ground modification, such as subexcavation and moisture conditioning, to the depths recommended above. The on-site soils, free of organics and debris, are suitable to support lightly loaded slabs -on -grade. Slabs should be separated from all Toad bearing walls and columns with expansion joints that allow at least 2 inches of vertical movement. Control joints should be used to reduce damage from shrinkage cracking. All fill below slabs should be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density at 0 to 3 percent above optimum moisture content. 5 Bell Residence Project No. 27-003A SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE Surface water typically flows through permeable wall backfill and collects at the backfill and natural soil interface resulting in saturated foundation soils and/or wet basement conditions. To reduce water accumulation outside foundation walls and in basement areas, a foundation drain should be installed around the exterior or interior of the foundation walls. The drain should consist of a 4 -inch diameter, perforated pipe encased in free draining gravel. The gravel should be % to 1.5—inch washed rock with Tess than 5 percent fines. The drain should be provided with a gravity discharge such as a sump pit where water can be removed by pumping or daylighted. The pipe should be sloped at a minimum of 0.5 percent and be installed 12 to 18 inches away from and parallel to the footing foundation. The bottom of the pipe should be at least 4 inches below the bottom of footing level at the high point. Crawlspace areas should also be provided with adequate ventilation. SURFACE DRAINAGE Surface drainage is crucial to the performance of foundations and flatwork. We recommend the ground surface surrounding the building be sloped to drain away from the structure. We recommend a slope of at least 6 inches in the first 10 feet away from the residence for landscape areas. Paved areas can be sloped at a minimum of 0.5 percent away from the structure. 'Backfill around foundations should be moisture conditioned and compacted as recommended in the SITE DEVELOPMENT section. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge beyond the backfill area. LIMITATIONS The analyses and recommendations presented in this report are based upon our data obtained from the test holes at the indicated locations, field observations, laboratory testing, our understanding of the proposed construction and other information discussed in this report. It is possible that subsurface conditions may vary between or beyond the points explored. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction. If variations appear, we should be contacted immediately so we can review our report in light of the variations and provide supplemental recommendations as necessary. We should also review the report if the scope of the proposed construction, including the proposed Toads, finished elevations or structure locations, change from those described in this report. The conclusions 6 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Bell Residence Project No. 27-003A and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid unless Yeh and Associates reviews the changes and either verifies or modifies the conclusions of this report in writing. The scope of services for this project did not include, specifically or by implication, any environmental or biological (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the site or identification or prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials or conditions or biological conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination, conditions or pollution, other studies should be undertaken. The report was prepared in substantial accordance with the generally accepted standards of practice for geotechnical engineering as exist in the site area at the time of our investigation.

Sherman Executive Director Vincent Matthews Division Director and State Geologist In response to your request and in accordance with Senate Bill 35 (1972) I visited this property to review the development plans. The referral included a Preliminary Plat (3/28/07) prepared by Bookcliff Survey Services, a Geotechnical Investigation (1/31107) for Lot I and Lot 3, prepared by Yeh and Associates, and a Drainage Study (3/30/07) and Percolation Test Results (11/12/06) prepared by Bell Consulting. The site consists of 35 acres to be divided into four lots ranging in size from 2 acres to 26 acres. The Bell residence is on Lot 2. Lot configuration. The Yeh report was written when the site consisted of three lots rather than four. Lot 4 has been crafted with a spit of "buildable" area between the drainage channels. The area of the building envelope contains loosely consolidated material that is sloughing into the drainage. Siting a home and primary and secondary leach fields in this area could be problematic. CGS recommends that Lot 4 be extended into the Lot 1 area to increase the buildable space. Otherwise the lot should be eliminated. Soil. The area was mapped by USGS in 1994 as loess, and fan and debris flow deposits. Soils in such deposits could be low density. Borings on lots 1 and 3 show the subsurface soil to be composed of alternating layers of silt, clay, and sand. Swell -consolidation tests indicate the clay to be slightly expansive, and the silty sand to be collapsible. The sandy silt and silty sand were analyzed as having fairly low densities. As the soil tests for lots I and 3 were performed on samples collected from the identified building envelopes, this information could be used for foundation design criteria. For lot 1 where slightly expansive clays were found, Yeh recommends overexcavation and replacement with a structural fill, which could be the native soils that have been properly moisture -conditioned and compacted to specification. This mitigation should also be considered for garage floor slabs and driveways (if they are paved), if clay soils are present in those areas at shallow depths. North Bell Ranch Subdivision, p. 1 On Lot 3 where silty sands predominate, Yeh recommends spread footings laid on the native soils or properly compacted fill. Swell -consolidation tests were not performed on the samples collected from this lot, but the density of the silty sand at depth is low, suggesting the possibility of collapse. A thick section of collapsible soil below footing elevations could be problematic even for soils with low collapse potential because the collapse from wetting could be manifested as a cumulative effect through the section. Such wetting could occur from a leak in a water pipe, irrigation system, or air conditioner. It would be prudent to evaluate the soils deeper than the footing elevations at each lot. Mitigation should be proposed, where necessary. Additional soil tests should be performed for Lot 4 if it is reconfigured. Drainage. The drainage report states that the 100 -yr floodplain has not been mapped in the area of the development, but that the channels will contain flood events up to the 100 -yr event. Has the capacity of the culverts and other drainage improvements been checked? The access to lots 1 and 4 would be a roadway with an elevated portion that crosses the drainage and which contains a culvert. All of the irrigation pipes should be shown as easements. Construction should not occur in these easements. The presence of moisture -sensitive soils makes it even more important to maintain good surface and subsurface drainage at the site. A positive slope should be graded around structures to prevent water from ponding in the backfill and possibly seeping into below -grade space. Downspouts should discharge away from structures for the same reason. For basement construction, the basement floor should be a minimum of 3 ft above seasonal high groundwater. A subsurface drainage system, which preferably discharges by gravity, should be included in the foundation design. ISDS. The percolation test results suggest that standard septic systems could be used at the site. Setback from the drainage channel should be established to prevent wastewater from daylighting on the slopes. Because of the irrigation easement on Lot 3, it would be worthwhile to identify preliminary leach field envelopes that would not interfere with easements. Other. Would the new homeowners be responsible for weed maintenance in the drainage channel? In summary, the property can be developed for further residential use, but as configured, Lot 4 does not appear viable. Buildable area should be added to this lot, or it should be eliminated. The recommendations in the Yeh report are valid and should be followed; geotechnical testing of deeper soils should be considered if basement construction is planned.

Division 5, W. District 39 Bill Ritter, Jr. Governor Harris D. Sherman Executive Director (Vacant) State Engineer Dear David: We have reviewed the above -referenced proposal to subdivide a parcel of approximately 35 acres into four lots with one single-family dwelling on each lot. The applicant proposes to supply water through two existing wells and one proposed well which will be shared by two dwellings. Sewage disposal is to be provided through individual systems. No water use estimates were provided. Permit No. 174076-A was issued pursuant to CRS 37-92-802(3)(b)(II)(A) as the only well on a parcel of 35.23 acres, and allows use for ordinary household purposes inside three single- family dwellings, the irrigation of not more than one acre of home gardens and lawns, and the watering of domestic animals. CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(III) requires that the cumulative effect of all wells in a subdivision be considered when evaluating material injury to decreed water rights. Accordingly, if the parcel is subdivided, the presumption under CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(II)(A) that there will not be material injury to the vested water rights of others or to any other existing well from such well will no longer apply. As such, an augmentation plan is required to offset depletions caused by the pumping of all wells in the proposed subdivision. A condition of approval on this permit required the owner to submit a completed Well Abandonment Report to our office; we have not yet received this report. Permit No. 272033 was issued pursuant to CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(I), and limits the use of the well to monitoring water levels and/or water quality sampling. The submittal included West Divide Water Conservancy District Contract Nos. S070322NTB#2(a) (for 2.18 AF for one dwelling, one acre of irrigation and two domestic animals on Lot 2) and 5070322NTB#3(a) (for 2.26 AF for two dwellings, one acre of irrigation and four domestic animals on Lots 3 and 4). The proposed subdivision will require new permits issued pursuant to CRS 37- 90-137(2) and to a water court -approved augmentation plan for both of the existing wells. The Well Construction and Test Report for 174076-A indicates that the well produced 3 gallons per minute on January 23, 2007. Although the Shelton Drilling invoice included with the submittal indicates that the monitoring well (272033) produced 8 gallons per minute, the Well Construction and Test Report for 272033 indicates that the well produced 5 gallons per minute on January 24, 2007. If the additional well has a similar production rate, and with sufficient storage capacity, these wells should provide an adequate supply for the proposed uses. Due to the lack of a water court -approved augmentation plan, the State Engineer finds pursuant to CRS 30-28-136(1)(h)(I) that the proposed domestic water supply will cause material „id David Pesnichak Eagle Ridge Town Homes September 14, 2007 Page 2 injury to decreed water rights, but is physically adequate.

By execution of this Contract and the attached Application, Applicant hereby agrees to the following terms and conditions: 1. Water Rights: Applicant shall own water rights at the point ofdiversion herein lawful ly entitling Applicant to divert water, which will be supplemented and augmented by water leased herein. If Applicant intends to divert through a well, it must be understood by Applicant that no right to divert exists until a valid well permit is obtained from the Colorado Division of Water Resources. 2. Quantity: Water applied for by the Applicant in the amount set forth above shall be diverted at Applicant's point of diversion from the District's direct flow water rights, and when water is unavailable for diversion pursuant to administration by the Colorado State Engineer during periods when said direct flow water right is not in priority, the District shall release for the use of Applicant up to said quantity in acre feet per year of storage water owned or controlled by the District. It is understood that any quantity allotted from direct flow, storage or otherwise, to the Applicant by the District will be limited by the priority of the District's decrees and by the physical and legal availability ofwater from District's sources. Any quantity allotted will only be provided so long as water is available and the Applicant fully complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Contract. The District and the Applicant recognize that some of the District's decrees may be in the name of the Colorado River Water Conservation District, and the ability of the District to allot direct flow right to the Applicant may be dependent on the consent of the Colorado River Water Conservation District. If at any time the Applicant determines it requires less water than the amount herein provided, Applicant may so notify the District in writing, and the amount of water allotted under this Contract shall be reduced permanently in accordance with such notice. Rates shall be adjusted accordingly in following water years only. 3. Beneficial Use and Location of Beneficial Use: Any and all water allotted Applicant by the District shall be used for the following beneficial use or uses: industrial, municipal, domestic and related uses, or commercial (except for commercial use from Alsbury Reservoir and except to the extent that Ruedi Reservoir water may not be available for commercial as that term is defined on Page 5 of Contract No. 2-07-70-W0547 between the United States and the West Divide Water Conservancy District). Applicant's beneficial use of any and all water allotted shall be within or through facilities or upon land owned, Ieased, operated, or under Applicant's control. 4. Decrees and Delivery: Exchange releases made by the District out of storage from Ruedi Reservoir, Green Mountain Reservoir, Alsbury Reservoir, or other works or facilities of the District, or from other sources available to the District, shall be delivered to the Applicant at the outlet works of said storage facilities or at the decreed point of diversion for said other sources, and release or delivery ofwater at 1 such outlet or points shall constitute performance of the District's total obligation. Delivery of water by the District from Ruedi Reservoir or Green Mountain Reservoir shall be subject to the District's lease contracts with the United States Bureau ofReclamation. Releases from other facilities available to District shall be subject to the contracts, laws, rules, and regulations governing releases therefrom. Furthermore, the District hereby expressly reserves the right to store water and to make exchange releases from structures that may be built or controlled by the District in the future, so long as the water service to the Applicant pursuant to this agreement, is not impaired by said action. Any quantity of the Applicant's allocation not delivered to or used by Applicant by the end of each water year (October 1), shall revert to the water supplies of the District. Such reversion shall not entitle Applicant to any refund of payment made for such water. Water service provided by the District shall be limited to the amount of water available in priority at the original point of diversion of the District's applicable water right, and neither the District, nor those entitled to utilize the District's decrees, may call on any greater amount at new or alternate points of diversion. The District shall request the Colorado Division of Water Resources to estimate any conveyance losses between the original point and any alternate point, and such estimate shall be deducted from this amount in each case. Water service provided by the District for properties located within the Bluestone and Silt Water Conservancy Districts is provided pursuant to Agreements with said Districts. The Intergovernmental Agreement between the District and the Silt Water Conservancy District, dated January 25, 2001, is recorded as Reception No. 575691, Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office. The Intergovernmental Memorandum of Understanding between the District and the Bluestone Water Conservancy District, dated April 26, 2001, is recorded as Reception No. 584840, Garfield County CIerk and Recorder's Office. 5. Alternate Point of Diversion and Plan of Augmentation: Decrees for alternate points of diversion of the District's water rights or storage water may be required in order for Applicant to use the water service contemplated hereunder. Obtaining such decree is the exclusive responsibility of Applicant. The District reserves the right to review and approve any conditions which may be attached to judicial approval of said alternate point of diversion as contemplated or necessary to serve Applicant's facilities or lands. Applicant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the procedures and legal engineering costs necessary for any changes in water rights contemplated herein, and further agrees to indemnify the District from any costs or losses related thereto. Applicant is solely responsible for providing works and facilities necessary to obtain/divert the waters at said alternate point of diversion and deliver them to Applicant's intended beneficial use. Irrespective of the amount of water actually transferred to the Applicant's paint of diversion, the Applicant shall make annual payments to the District based upon the amount of water allotted under this Contract. In the event the Applicant intends to apply for an alternate point of diversion and to develop an augmentation plan and institute legal proceedings for the approval of such augmentation plan to allow the Applicant to utilize the water allotted to Applicant hereunder, the Applicant shall give the District written notice of such intent. In the event the Applicant develops and adjudicates its own augmentation plan to utilize the water allotted hereunder, Applicant shall not be obligated to pay any amount under Paragraph 19 below. In any event, the District shall have the right to approve or disapprove the Applicant's augmentation plan and the Applicant shall provide the District copies of such plan and of all pleadings and other papers filed with the water court in the adjudication thereof 6. Contract Payment: Non-refundable, one time administrative charge, in the amount determined by the Board of Directors of the District from time to time, shall be submitted with the application for consideration by the District. 2 Annual payment for the water service described herein shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the District. The initial annual payment shall be made in full, within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to the Applicant that the initial payment is due. Said notice will advise the Applicant, among other things, of the water delivery year to which the initial payment shall apply and the price which is applicable to that year. Annual payments for each year thereafter shall be due and payable by the Applicant on or before each January 1. If an annual payment is not made by the due date a flat $50 late fee wilI be assessed. Final written notice prior to cancellation will be sent certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Applicant at such address as may be designated by the Applicant in writing or set forth in this Contract or Application. Water use for any part of a water year shall require payment for the entire water year. Nothing herein shall be construed so as to prevent the District from adjusting the annual rate in its sole discretion for future years only. If payment is not made within fifteen (15) days after the date of said written notice, Applicant shall at District's sole option have no further right, title or interest under this Contract without further notice, and delivery may be immediately curtailed. The allotment of water, as herein made, may be transferred, leased, or otherwise disposed of at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the District. Upon cancellation of this water allotment Contract with the District, the District shall notify the Division of Water Resources offices in Denver and Glenwood Springs. The Division of Water Resources may then order cessation of all water use. 7. Additional Fees and Costs: Applicant agrees to defray any expenses incurred by the District in connection with the allotment of water rights hereunder, including, but not limited to, reimbursement of legal and engineering costs incurred in connection with any water rights and adjudication necessary to allow Applicant's use of such allotted water rights. S. Assignment: This Contract shall not inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors or assigns of Applicant, without the prior written consent of the District's Board of Directors. Any assignment of Applicant's rights under this Contract shall be subject to, and must comply with, such requirements as the District may hereafter adopt regarding assignment of Contract rights and the assumption of Contract obligations by assignees and successors. Nothing herein shall prevent successors to a portion of Applicant's property from applying to the District for individual and separate allotment Contracts. No assignment shall be recognized by the District except upon completion and filing of proper forms for assignment and change of ownership. In the event the water allotted pursuant to this Contract is to be used for the benefit of land which is now or will subsequently be subdivided or held in separate ownership, the Applicant may only assign the Applicant's rights hereunder to: 1) No more than three separate owners all of whom shall be party to a well sharing agreement satisfactory to the District; or 2) A homeowners association, water district, water and sanitation district or other special district properly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Colorado, and then, only if such parties, association or special district establishes to the satisfaction of the District that it has the ability and authority to perform the Applicant's obligations under this Contract. In no event shall the owner of a portion, but less than all, of the Applicant's property to be served under this Contract have any rights hereunder, except as such rights may exist pursuant to a well sharing agreement or through a homeowners association or special district as provided above. Upon the sale of the real property to which this Contract pertains, Applicant shall make buyer aware of this Contract and proper forms for assignment and change of ownership must be completed. 3 9. Other Rules: Applicant shall be bound by the provisions ofthe Water Conservancy Act ofColorado; by the rules and regulations of the Board of Directors of the District; and all amendments thereof and supplements thereto and by all other applicable law. 10. Operation and Maintenance Agreement: Applicant shall enter into an "Operation and Maintenance Agreement" with the District under terms and conditions determined by the board of Directors of the District, if and when, the Board of said District determines in its sole discretion that such an agreement is required.

Division 5, W. District 39 Dear David: Bill Ritter, Jr Governor Hams A. Sherman Executive Director (Vacant) Stare Engineer We have reviewed the above -referenced proposal to subdivide a parcel of approximately 35 acres into four Lots with one single-family dwelling on each lot. The applicant proposes to supply water through two existing wells and one proposed well which will be shared by two dwellings. Sewage disposal is to be provided through individual systems. No water use estimates were provided. Permit No. 174076-A was issued pursuant to CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(II)(A) as the only well on a parcel of 35.23 acres, and allows use for ordinary household purposes inside three single- family dwellings, the irrigation of not more than one acre of home gardens and lawns, and the watering of domestic animals. CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(I1i) requires that the cumulati-ve effecLaLaJl wells in a subdivision be considereen evaluating material injury to decreed water rights. Aucr5rdifItpriffe parcel is subdivided, the presumption under CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(iI)(A) that there will not be material injury to the vested water rights of others or to any other existing well from such well will no longer apply. As such, an augmentation plan is required to offset depletions caused by the pumping of all wells in the proposed subdivision. A condition of approval on this permit required the owner to submit a completed Well Abandonment Report to our office; we have not yet received this report. Permit No. 272033 was issued pursuant to CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(I), and limits the use of the well to monitoring water levels andlor water quality sampling. The submittal included West Divide Water Conservancy District Contract Nos. S070322NTB#2(a) (for 2.18 AF for one dwelling, one acre of irrigation and two domestic animals on Lot 2) and S070322NTB#3(a) (for 2.26 AF for two dwellings, one acre of irrigation and four domestic animals on Lots 3 and 4). The proposed subdivision will require new permits issued pursuant to CRS 37- 90-137(2) and to a water court -approved augmentation plan for both of the existing wells. The Well Construction and Test Report for 174076-A indicates that the well produced 3 gallons per minute on January 23, 2007. Although the Shelton Drilling invoice included with the submittal indicates that the monitoring well (272033) produced 8 gallons per minute. the Well Construction and Test Report for 272033 indicates that the well produced 5 gallons per minute on January 24, 2007. If the additional well has a similar production rate, and with sufficient storage capacity, these wells should provide an adequate supply for the proposed uses. Due to the lack of a water court -approved augmentation plan, the State Engineer finds pursuant to CRS 30-28-136(1)(h)(I) that the proposed domestic water supply will cause material David Pesnichak September 14, 2007 Eagle Ridge Town Homes Page 2 injury to decreed water rights, but is physically adequate. if you or the applicant has any questions concerning this matter, please contact Cynthia Love at this office for assistance.

I have met with Chief McLin of the Burning Mountain Fire District and we determined a location for the emergencyfire to . He will be providing a letter veri in this as well as indicatin that their atter e will beproviding language foldFe 'incl Plat. The tank will be set at the entrance of the driveway into Lot 3 and an easement foentire area including the entrance will be dedicated on the Final Plat. The location of the proposed easement is shown on the attached blowup of the Preliminary Plan map. I have also attached a blowup of the Lot 3 proposed building envelope depicting a possible site layout for the residence and leach field. As can be seen on the map, the envelope for Lot 3 is large enough to accommodate a very large residence as well as several locations for leach fields that all meet setback requirements. (Calculations for the leach field size have also been attached.) The building envelope itself is outside of all proposed ditch easements and the 30 -ft drainage setback. Therefore, there should not be any interference with these easements. The only easement proposed within the envelope will be for crossing shallow utilities to Lot 1 which can be avoided as shown on the map. With the size of the primary envelope and its ability to contain not only a residence but also several leach fields if necessary, it does not appear appropriate to break this envelope into portions for a residence and leach fields. I hope that all of the information necessary has now been provided to the County Planning Department. If you need additional information please contact me as soon as possible.
