FLOOD PLAIN ANALYSIS
COLORADO RTVER
AND
GARFIELD CREEK
THROUGH THE PROPOSED
I/JOOD LANDTNG SUBDTVTSION
GENERAL:
This flood plaln analysis has been completed to determinethe flood hazard zone for 100 year floods on the ColoradoRj-ver and Garfield Creek through the proposed t{ood LandingSubdivlsion located in Sectj-ons 4 & 5, Township 6 South,
Rangre 91 !{est, GarfielC County, Colorado. The proposed
development consists of 320 single family units on a 9lacre parcel of land. The Coloraoo River forms the nort.hboundary of the subdivision for about 3/4 of a mile.Garfiel-d Creek flows through the extreme eastern cornerof the site.
The intent of this analysis r s to fulfitl the requirementsof the Garfield County zoning resolution of lglB and sub-division regulation of L978.
HYDROLOGY:
Colorado River:
The 100 )iear flood discharge for tj-ie Ccloraclo River has beenextractec fron the Flood rnsurance Study, Garfield County,Colorado, February, 19l7 , preoa:ec bv the Sacrarlento Distr:ictCorps of Engineers for the ledeiai Insurance Adninistration,U.S. Department of Housing ancl Lr::can Developmenlr. The f 00year: f iood oischarge of the Colc::a,lo River belovr Elk creekis given in the referencecl si:u,j..; as 41,000 cfs (cubic feetper seco:rd). The tributarv 3rea l;eti..,een E1k Creek and theproject site is less ti:an b-;:, c:f the clrarnage basin a1- t-]repoint- where the referenced stuci, establisheo a flow of 4r,000cf s. The f igure of 41,000 ci,s has therefore been util izecfor this analysrs.
GarfielC Creek:
Several empirical- and statl_s

,,,' c i e.;at ion 6 ,3Ct0 f t-. is' ri- Lolr consis't-j-nq of sage ancl
grass on the hillsides, while the valley floor is primarily
irrigated native grass hay meadows. Between the elevations
of about 6,800 ft. and 7,600 ft., the vegetative cover
changes to dense Oak Brush with stands of Pinyon and Juniper.
Above the elevation of 7,600 ft. the ground cover consists of
Spruce and Apsen trees with some areas of Oak Brush, Pinyon
and Juniper. The soil types in the basin are hydrologicgroup C soils in the area belorv about elevation 7,600 and
groups B & C above elevation 1,600.
The geographical location of Garfi-eld Creek together with
the elevation of the basin places it in the category of
stream that cannot be clearl1z c.l-assified as having a
critical 100 year runoff derived from snowmelt or rainfafl.
Therefore, it was necessary to analy'se 100 year snowrnelt
runoff, 100 year rainfall runoff, and a combination evenL
to deterrnine which event produced tne critical runoff event.
Complete calculations for the
reach a design discharge for
in the Appendix. The results
tabulated below:
four nethods emplolzed to
Garfield Creek are incl:ded
of the four methods are
1)
2)

4) Rainfall runoff derived 100 yr. flood value
using Procedures for Determining Peak Flows
in Colorado , U. S . Soi I Conservati-on Service ,
March t L977 - - This method develops a 100 yr.
flood value based on the assumption of a
design 100 yr. storm spread over the entire
basin. The 100 yr. flood discharge. developed
by this method is l45l cfs.
The four approaches clearly illustrate that the critica.l- t00year flood event will be rainfall derived or due to rainfallin combination with snowmelt. A design discharge of 1500
cfs has been selected for the 100 year flood on GarfieldCreek. For purposes of cornparison, the 25 year flood rvas
also calculated by the S.C.S. procedure (I'lethod 4) to be
775 cfs.
Flood Plain Calculation:
The procedure normally accepted by aI1 agencies for ca1-culating
flood plains is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC-2 Cornputer
Program. Since the study reach for this analysis was so short,
the decision was made to calculate the flood plairr by manual
methods usi-ng the salTle procedure as the HtrC-2 proqran.
l4annings rrnrt roughness values of 0.03 for the nain ci-iannel ,0.04 for pasture overflow areas, and 0.05 for t::ee ani brush

indicated from the downstream limit of the study area tostation 37 + 50 and from station 45 + 00 to 47 7 00. Theflood fringe as indicated includes those areas where thedepth of flow is less than 2 feet (below station 37 + 50)or where the flood plain i-s a pondi-ng area only (sta. 4s +00 xo 4-l + 00). Fi-ll could safery be placed in the floodfringe to extend the buildable area toward the river.Filling the designated areas would nort raise the flood r:lainleve1 by more than a ferv tenths of a f,oot. use of the floodfringe would be governed by the Garfibra county Flood plain
Regulation.
The 100 year flood plain of Garfield Creek is containedtotally within a well defined channel,
A11 dwelling units near the flood prain or in the frood plainarea shourd be constructed such that the lowest floor, in-cluding basements, are at least one fOot above the flood plain1eve1. For buirdings without basernents we suggest that thetop of the foundation warl be kept at least one foot abovethe frood prain 1eve1. Back yards cor[1d safely extend intothe floodway areas, but residents shor.pld rearize that fencesconstructed rvithin this area may be srvept away by major f loods.

INTRODUCTION
Personnel of Lincoln-Devore have
completed an engineering geology and preliminary subsurface soils
investigation on the proposed irlood Landing PUD in Garf ield County,
Colorado. Information included in this rePort was gathered from
field napping of geologic materials e4posed on the site, the
excavation of 10 exploratory test pits, 4 subsurface bore holes,
aerial photo analysis, Iaboratory tes!ing and engineering and
geologic analysis. The general site location can be found on
Figure I. Geologic information and the location of test pits and
bore holes are found on the Engineering Geologic l{ap (Figure 21.
It is our understanding that the
proposed subdivision will be subdivided in order to provide
approximately 340 lots for constructiqn of single family resi-
clences. In addition, L.4 acres will be utilizeo for a water
treatment facility and 3 acres will be utiliied ior a sewage
treatment facility. The exact nature of the structures proposed
for the treatment facilities is not known at the present time. A
central water system and central Sewage system, however, wiIl be
supporteo by these two facilities.
SITE DESCRIPTION
mately
County
ACT ES
Garfie
The
2 miles southwest of the
, Colorado. The property
located at the confluence
Id Creek. Specifically,
subject site is locateo aPProxi-
Town of New Castle in Garfielo
consists of approximately B0
of the Colorado River and
the site is an irregular shaPed
-r-
parcel locateo in the south half of Section 4, Township 6 south,
R.ange 9l west of the Sixth erincipal Mer idian-
Physically, the majority of the site
consists of a broad, relatively flat terrace located on the south
si.de of the Colorado River. In the extreme southern portion of
the site, south of an existing county road, a rather SteeP slope
(also part of the site) descends to the county road. Above this
s]ope, exists a relatively gentle to moderately north sloping,
elevated terrace of the Colorado River. In the northern portion
of the siter olt the first (Iowest) terrace leve1, elevations
range frorn 5530 to 5490, with a general slope slightly toward the
northwest. Slope angles in the southern portion of the property
on the slope generally average 66e.
Drainage on the site is oominated by
the Colorado River on the extreme northern proPerty boundary and
by Garfield Creek which drains across the extreme easterly por-
tion of the site. A few small, well incised drainages drain the
slopes to the south of the site. AlthouEh Garfield Creek appears
to ce well incised in its present course, an old abandoneo chan-
nel of Garfield Creek can be found in the extreme northeast por-
tion of the site. Overall drainage on this site is uncontrolled
to moderately directeo by furrows developed during cultivation.
In the southern portion of the site, just south of the county
roac, exists a shallow irrigation ditch which has its source front
Garfielo Creek to the east. Drainage from this i.rrigation ditch
is oi.rected onto the site in the extreme southwest portion where
it is oirected underneath the road in a culverL ano ailowed to
:low on the sublect site. Although the topographi.c map indicates
-2-
an area of interior drainage subject to ponding in the cetrtral
portion of the site, this area has apparently been fil-1ed in the
past and only local spots of ponding are evident'
Existing structures on the site
include a ranch house and SupPort structures in the extreme
south.west portion of the site. The site is presently being uti-
Iized as a working horse and cattle ranch and the lower terrace
area has apparently been cultivated in the Past. Vegetation on
this portion of the site consists mainly of man introduceO
grasses and 1ow herbals. In the extreme southern portion of the
site, the slope has been Ieft in its native condition ani is
dominateo by iuniper and sage.
GENERAL GEOTOGY
The geology of this site is domi-
nated by ,.zarious Quaternary deposits and by the Tertiary Wasatch
Formation which outcrops in the steep slope in the southern por-
tion of the property and underlies the subdivision at oepth.
The Wasatch Formation consists of a
veri/ thick sequence of interbedded, multi-colored siltstones,
claystones and shales rvith widely intercalateo lensatic beds of
fine grainecl, tan to buff sanostone. One of these sandstone
units outcrops in the extreme southwest portion of the site just
southerly of the irrigation ditch adjacent to the lateral
orainage ciescending tc the site. The majoriiy oi the Wasatch in
the site area, ltowever, consists of the sof ter claystones anci
siltstones. The ma jor ity of the I'iasatch Formation on this slope
is noc expcseo ancl covereci by a thickness of colluvial deposits.
-3-
In the latest geologic episode, Lhe
Southern Rocky l"lountain region has been subjecteo to intense ero-
sion, renewed uplift and canyon cutting and glaciation. while
aII of these processes have affected the subdivision area Lo one
degree or another, the Cominant processes in recent geologic time
have been degradational, involving erosion, iveathering ancl mass
wasting. These processes have bared the Wasatch rocks tirroughouL
much of the New castle area; furthermore, they have resulted in a
Ioca1 deposition of quantities of fine grained debris along the
base of the steeper slopes. Although the northern portion of the
site has been mapped as a lower terrace deposit, i.his terrace
deposil is covered by a variable thickness of fine grained cray
soils deriveo from the weathering of the Wasatch Formation. Also,
portions of this terrace are covered by debris fan materiar
resurting from flash floooing ano debris flows from the smal1
lateral drainages which drain northerly onto the site. Most of
these finec grained clays covering the terrace were deposited
from actions of sheetwash.
In addition to the small oebris ians
in the southern portion of the site, there exists an arluviat
f an/debris fan in the northeast porti.on of the site which r^ras
deposited as the resurt of flash frooding ano debris rlow acti-
vity of Gariield Creek. An exploratory test pit in this area
inoicates that these alruviar fan materials are composed of a
fine grained, sandy sirt material overlain by tire fine grained
clay sheetwash materiar. over tire majority of the northern por-
tion of tire site, are the terrace sancjs and gravels cepositeci
from the coloraco River when it floweci at higirer erevations.
_A-
A1so, in the extreme southern portion of the site is another sttch
elevateo t.errace deposit which overlies the wasatch Formation.
These terrace deposits characteristically consist of a mixture of
sancs, gravels and cobbles which are well rounded and vary from a
gravel and cobble mixture with silty sand matrix to silty sand
with sand and gravel intermixed. A more detailed description of
the soil types and materials encountered in the subsurface
exploratorlz test pits and borings will be given in the soils
engineering section of this rePort-
Another mapped geologic unit which
occurs on ihe site occurs in the form of two small soil slurnps
which have occurred on the north facing slope in the extreme
southeast portion of the site. These small slumps have occurred
in the colluvium covering the slope and are less than three feet
deep. These soil slumps have apparently resulted from the
saturation of the surface materials on the steep slope.
ENGII.IEERING GEOLOGY
Geologic hazards associated with
this site include natural and cutslope stability, the potential
for debris flow activity, Surface and subsurface drainage
problems, shallow groundwater ano expansive soils'
Slope Stability:
The steeP slope in the souLhern por-
tion of the property should be consioered as potentially unstable
-5-
oue to its steepness and the presence of the sma11 soil slumps
noted. Although bedrock appears to be oriented favorably for
stability, the colluvium on the slope is unstable. It is our
unoers'tanding, however, that construction is not planneci on or
near this slope, and therefore, no mitigation will be necessary.
This s.Lope also contains a slight rockfall hazard fron cobbles
and boulders which weather out of the terrace material. The
existing county road and shoulder wi1l, however, provide an ade-
quate buffer zone for this hazard. The remainder of the slopes
on the property appear to be stable in their natural state.
Although most of Lhe clayey slope-
raash m;rterials found on the surf ace in the northern portion of
the site can stand temporarily without artificial support, when
these inaterials are saturated, slope instabilities in cuts can
occur. Additionally, the underlying sand and gravel of the
terrace materials exhibited severe caving in a number of the test
pits. Considerations of safety dictate that all cut slopes with
total heights of 4 feet or more be either shored or laid back to
slopes of at least I horizontal to I vertical. Permanent cut
slopes should be either laid back or supported with some sort of
retaining structure.
Flooding and Surface Drainage:
Since
Coloracio River and the drainage oi
site, oare should be exercised in
floooplains of these drainages. I
the site is locatei on the
Garfield Creek crosses the
order to avoid the lO0-year
t is understood that the
-6-
drainage study
Since the site
of cultivation
sion has been
for this subdivision is to be provided by others'
has been reworked to some extent by the activities
and leveling and an apParent pre-existing depres-
filled in, it is recommended that the site be
ar ea
r"q,:!
in
gracied so as to properly direct surface drainage off the site.
This vri1l be discussed in somewhat more detail in a later section
of this report.
Subsurface Drainage:
Subsurface drainage problems on this
site exist irom influences of basically three sources" These are
the Coloraoo River, Garfield Creek and the irrigation which tra-
verses the extreme southern portion of the site. The water table
encountered in the test borings is considered to be a permanent
feature on the site and most probably exists because of the
Colorado River drainage. The area where the water table was
encountered at the more shallow depth, however, is locateo in the
extreme southern portion of the site in Test BorinE No. 11. This
rvater table in this area most probably is shallower due to the
influence of seepage from the irrigation oitch to the south. It
was noted that there are a few spots aojacent to the southerly
portion of the roao which are seasonally wet. These apparently
result from leakage from the oitch ano the small areas of
interior crainage created by the road construction in this
have proouced areas '*here the water migrates from the ditch
through the subsurface materials creating an artiiicially h
vrater table. It is recommended that these areas De irained

order to prevent the ponding of water in these areas and the
drainage which is allowed to flow onto the site frcn the irriga-
tion ditch through the culvert be discontinueo. As an alternate,
a subdrainage system could be constructed para1Ie1 with the ditch
to intercept seepage. Water levels on the site can be expected
to iluctuate with the seasons and from year to year due to
influences of the three main drainage features.
Debris Flows:
The fine grained soils encountered
in Test Pit No. 8 in the alIuvial/debris fan of Garfield Creek
indieate that this fan most probably developed from the actions
of alluvial deposition rather than debris flow activity. True
debris flow activity from this drainage is probably not like1y.
If any such flows should occur, however, the channel should be
cleared immediately of any debris to provide a safe path for both
water and debris runoff. The other four oebris fans which
encroach upon the site located in the southern portion are rela-
tively small features. Some very sma1l loads of deactivated
debris flows were noted in a few of the channels of the small
drainages, however, none were very 1arge. The existing irriga-
tion ditch, county road and setbacks of at least 50 feet north of
the road right-of-way should be maintained to provide adequate
litigation from debris flows from the smaIl drainages.
Soils and Construction Factors:
A detailed descr iption of the sub-
a later section ofsur iace soi.Is ccnc i i ions vri lI be presented in
this report. Generally, the f oundation soils encountereri on t-hi.s
site are mainly of a colluvial or slopewash nature, having been
deposited across the subdivision by the action of sheetwash or:i-
ginating in the higher areas to the south. These materials
classified as silty ctays and were iound to be expansive in
nature. These materials are generally thicker in the South por-
tion of the site and thin toward the Colorado River "
ranging from greater than L2 to 3 feet were noted.
Depths
In the central portion of the site,
the pre-existing interior drainage area has apparently been par-
tially infiIIed. If fill is encountered at foundation de1:ths, it
can be appropriately dealt with as discussed in the soil section
of this report.
Underlying the slopewash claYs on
the site are the Colorado River Terrace materials which are also
discussed from a soils engineering standpoint in these seetions.
ENVIRONI"IENTAL HAZARDS AND RESOURCES
Although there are no known actirze
faults in the vicinity of the site, aI1 of western Colora.do is
consioereo to possess a certain seismic risk. This is a con-
sequence of the past tectonic activity which form the Sor"ltlrern
Rocky l,lountains and of the ongoing mincr seismic activity of cer-
tain parts of the region. Consequently, it is recomrnended that
structures in vrestern Cclorado be designed in accordance t;j,th the
requirements of the uniiorm building code for Seismic Rislt Zo))c 2
There are no known deposils otl
raiioactive ininerals in the vicinity of tl-re prcposed subdi rzis j c;tt.

The sands and gravels of the Colorado River Terrace have been
Iccally mined for use as sand and gravel. These deposits should
be considered as a mineral resource, atthough economics of
extraction and value are not known. Problems associated with the
recovery of this resource would involve the removal of the clay
overburden and with the presence of the high groundwater table on
this site. It is probable that the value of the land as an area
for residential housing night outweigh its value as an economic
Einerar resource. This, however, would involve a county tand use
oecision.

BORINGS, LABORATORY TESTS AND RESULTS:
Ten test pits were excavated and
iour test borings were dritled across the subriivision, and are
located approximatery as shown on Figure 2. ?he test borings and
test pits were placed in such a manner as to obtain a reasonably
good profile of the subsurface soils. A1r test pits were exca-
vated with a hydraulic backhoe, and samples were taken by bulk
methods. A11 test borings were drilled with a power-driven con-
tinuous auger driII. samples were taken with a standard split-
spoon sampler and by bulk methods.
The soil profile encountered in the
test pits and test borings can broadly be described as a two-
layer system. The upper layer of soil, extending from I to greater
than L2 feet in depth of the upper soir profile is a slopewash
material consisting of a silty clay. This material was encountered
at or near the surface in 13 of the L4 test pits and test borings.
These clays are generally of very lorv density. The second layer of
the soil profile consists of the Colorado River Terrace, which is
oescribeo as a poorly graded gravel and cobble. This material was
encountered at the surface in Test Boring No. L4, and directly
beneath these silty clays in L2 of the remaining test borings and
test pits. The only variation to this soil profile was found in
Test Pit No. B. In this test pit, a sandy silt was found directly
beneath the silty clays.
The precise gradational and plasti-
citii characteristics associated with the soils encountered during
drirring can be found on the attacheo sunmary sheets. The repre-
sentative number ior each soir group is indicate<j in a smarr
circle immeciiately belorv the sampling point- on the Drilling Loqs.
-tr-
The following discussion of the soil groups will be general in
natur e .
Soil Type No. 1 classified as a
silty clay (CL) of very fine grain size. Soil Type No. I is
plastic and of variable density. Where these clays are encoun-
tered in a high density, 1ow moisture condition, they will have a
tendency to expand with swell pressures on the order of 1600 psf
being typical. This magnitude of expansion is generally suf-
ficient to affect all structural portions of the building, Ers
well as the lightly loaded floor slabs on grade and other
flatwork. Any foundations resting on this high density clay must
be designeo with their expansive potential in mind. Conversely,
where these clays are encountered in a very lorv density, high
moisture state, they wilt have virtually no tendency to expand
upon the addition of moisture. These clays will have a distinct
tendency to long-term consolidation upon loading. However, these
Iow density clays will be capable of supporting relatively
lightly loadeo shallow foundation systems, provioing they are
Properly designeo ano reinforced. The maximum allowab1e bearing
capacity for these low density clays was found to be on the order
of 1000 psf with no minimum pressure being required. The maximum
allowable bearing capacity for the higher density clays vras found
to be 3000 psf. SoiI Type No. 1 contains sulfates in detrimental
quantities.
SoiI Type No. 2 classified as a
poorly graoed gravel (GP) cf coarse grain size. This material
cont.ained some cobble and occasional boulder sized particles
';h:-ch obvic;usry cannot be accurately represented on the enclosed
-L2-
grain size curve. Generally, this material is non-p}astic,
permeable, and was encountered in a high density condition' It
will have no tendency to expand upon the addition of moisture,
nor any tendency to true long-term consolidation under load'
Granular materials such as this do exhibit settlement uPon apPli-
caticn of foundation stresses, but if maximum allowable bearing
capacity values are not exceeded and balancing and reinforcing
recommendations are carefully followed, it is felt that settle-
ment of this material will not create any problems. At any rate,
any settlement should be fairly rapio and will probably be
complete by the end of construction. Foundations located in the
material of Soil TyPe No. 2 may be proportioned on the basis of a
maximum allowable bearing capacity of 3500 psf with no minimum
pressure required. If the foundation excavation extends any
distance into soil Type No. 2, some sluffing of the sides should be
expected. Soil TyPe No. 2 was not found to contain sulfates in
oetr imental quantities.
Soil Type No. 3 classified as a silt
(ML) of fine grain size. Soil Type No. 3 was only encountered in
the area of Test Pit No. 8. This material was found to be of low
plasticity, 1ow permeability and of medium density. Soil Type
No. 3 has very little tendency to expand upon the addition of
moisture; however, it will have a distinct tendency to settlement
and long term consolidation upon application of ioundation loads.
Soil Type No. 3 was found to have an allowable bearing capacity
on the order of 3000 psf with no minimum being required.
Free water was encountered at
various depths across the subdivision, varying from 6\ feel to
1I! feet. Because of the proximity of the site to the Coloraoo
-13-
River, this free water table is a permanent feature of the site,
anc will tend to fluctuate somewhat depending upon external
environmental effects. Because of this relatively shallow free
water table, basements are not recotnmended on this site. Some
pumping and rutting may be encountered during the excavation or
road building process, pdrticularly if the bottom of the foun-
dations extend near the free water elevation. This is a temporary
quick condition caused by vibration of excavating equipment on the
site. If this should occur, it can be stopped by removal of the
equipment and greater care exercised in the excavation process.
-i-l-
CONCLUSIOTTS AND RECOMI'IENDATIONS :
In general, the soils founci across
the subcivision wiII form a reasonably good base for the proposed
residential structures. Potentially expansive clays were encoun-
tered at or near the present ground surface in tire region of the
najority of the test borings and test pits. These clays were found
to be of varying degrees of expansion and of variable density"
Beneath these cIays, but also at foundation level, was the higher
density gravel deposit. For the area of the subdivision where the
foundations will rest entirely on these gravel materials, spread
fooiings of various widths in conjunction with a reinforced
concrete grade beam stem waIl will probably be most suitable foun-
dat.ion type. Ilowever, in this case, steps must be taken to ensure
that the higher expansive clays do not occur a short distance below
the foundation level, being covered by a thin veneer of sand.
For those areas of the subdivision
where the clays are encountered, foundations must be designed
with the expansive potential of the subsurface soils in mind.
The foundation configuration which can be useo on the expansive
clays will depend upon the magnitude of foundation loaos exerted
by the residential units as well as the exact degree of expansion
anticipated from the soils. Several foundaticn types are accep-
table for use on these c1ays. These foundation configurations
would incLude, but are not limited to:
1) The first foundation option for use on expansive clays wouldconsist of the no footing design. Uith this option, the stemwall would rest ciirectly upon the ground surface. This foun-dation system would proUaUty prove most satisfactory for
reasonably weII balanced structures resting on clays (orclayey sands) of lower expansive potential. It should benoted that this particular alternative, ds vrell as several ofthe rollowing foundation configurations, could conceivably be
- 15-
2)
used on the non-expansive soils in areas across thesubdivision. ltowever, if a designed foundation system is
used in these areas, pdrticular care must be taken that thesoils are not overloaded. The aIlowable varues given in thisreport for these sandier materials could be used as a guide-line for preliminary design, subject to verification byinspection of the open excavation.
?he second option would consist of the engineered no footingdesign, with the stem wall resting directly on the groundsurface. The judicious use of voids would be employed tobarance the structure and to increase the contact stressesbeneath any very light walIs. For most moderately loadedfoundation systems, this voided stem wal1 design would pro-bably prove satisfactory considering the magnitude of expan-sion pressures encountered across the subdivision, and theanticipated foundation loads for these singre family dwellingunits. We would anticipate that the majority of tha foun-dation systems used on the clays across the subdivision wilrfaII into this category.
A balanced pad and grade beam type of foundation systemwourd form the third general foundation option. This atter-native would invorve the use of small bearing pads beneath areinforced concrete grade beam. The grade beam would be con-Linually voided between pads with the foundation roads beingtransferred by the pads on1y, and noL the grade beam betweenpads. This foundation arternative will probably be suitablefor very light structures on clays of high expansionpotential. This configuration generarry allows the designerto maintain a fairly high minimum dead load pressure.
The fourth option wourd consist of a drilled pier and grade
beam system. The expansive clays do have side frictionaleffects which must be taken into account when designing thedrilled piers. The diameter and length of the pier must bebalanced so that the appropriate load carrying capacity is
developed while maintaining enough rninimum pressure to pre-vent uprvard movement of the piers as a resurt of expansiveaction. The grade beam would span from pier to pier and becontinually voided between these bearing points.
The fifth foundation configuration would essentially be acombination of one of the preceding alternatives in conjunc-tion with an overexcavated, compacted granular pad. Thadepth of overexcavation would be related to the expansionpotentiar of the c1ays, Ers werl as the nature of the residen-tial units. However, we would anticipate the depth ofoverexcavation should be about 3 feet. After overexcavation,a compacted granular pad using non-expansiver.non-freedraining soils could be constructed maintaining their minimumof 95t of the soils naximum proctor dry density, ASTM D-698.The purpose of this compacted pad is not to entirely overcomethe expansion potential of the clays, but rather to provide abuffer zone between the clays and the foundation. A designedfoundation system similar to one of the preceding
3)

s)
-16-
arternatives, would then be constructed on top of the granu-lar pad. Frequent density tests wourd be required during padconstruction to insure that an adequate density rever isbeing maintained. This option would appry if it would bedesirable to increase the bearing value-oi the low densityclays across the subdivision. with the above describedprocedures, if followe<i, the maximum bearing capacity would beincreased to 3000 psf. This option wourd also be usea if anyareas of uncontrolled fill are encountered during the excava-tion process.
At the present time, it is difficult
to establish the exact maximum and minimum allowable design para-
meters for each residential lot across the subdivision. As noted
earlier, the foundation soils are somewhat variable in terms of
their classification and engineering characteristics. The engi-
neering properties given in this report were based upon those
soil materials encountered in our subsurface exploration program.
while it is unlikely that drastically different soil types will
be encountered during excavation for founoations, the possibility
exists that intermediate variations between several of the soil
types outlined here could be encountered.
It must, therefore, be recommended
that the open foundation excavation be inspected prior to the
placing of forms to establish the appropriate oesign parameters
for each individuar building lot. Further exploration on a rot
to lot basis may be warranteo.At the time of inspection or
further investigation, the maximum and minimum bearing values can
be established ano reconmendations made as to the suitable foun-
dation type for that particular Iot. AIso, th
ensure that no debris, soft spots, or areas of
sity are located within the founoation region.

the time of such inspection.

If it is desirable to design the
foundation systems for several standard model resiclences which
are planned for this development, some prelinrinary design parame-
ters coulo possibly be used. Based upon the results of our
exploration program, it would appear that the engineering charac-
teristics of the soils encountered during dril-ling can be divided
into three groups for purposes of preliminary design. The first
group would consist of the high density, expansive clays.
Foundations resting on these materials may be oesigned for a
raaximum bearing value of 3000 psf and a minimum of 1600 psi.
Although most of the optional foundations coulo be used for this
condition, this laboratory would recommend the second option. The
second group would be those founoations resting on the very 1ow
density, compressible clays. These foundations would be propor-
tioned on the basis of a 1000 psf maximum bearing and no minimum.
Although most of the optional foundations could be used to fit this
condition, this laboratory would recommend the first or third
option. The last group, foundations resting on either gravel or
silt, could be proportioned on the basis of a 3C00 psf maximum with
no minimum being required. Standaro spread footings would be most
practical for this conoition. These design values should be
interpreted as preliminary in nature only. Again, as mentioneo
earlier, basements are not recommended on this site.
Regardless of the type oi ioundation
system used on this site, it is recommended that aII stem walIs,
both along the perimeter of the building and oeneath all internal
load bearing walls, be designed as graoe beams capable of
spanning ar least 10 feet or the iistance fron pa,l to pad or pier
-l-8-
to pier, if these foundation configurations are used. This rein*
forcing will help make the structure somewhat more rigid and will
teno to spread the loads more evenly around the building.
Horizontal reinforcement should be placed continuously around the
structure with no gaps or breaks in the reinforcing steel unless
they are specially designed. Diagonal reinforcing should be used
at all steps in the foundation waII. Beams should be reinforced
at both top and bottom. Where foundations will rest on or near
the expansive cIays, we would recommend placing the majority of
the reinforcement near the top of the waIl.
Again, regardless of the foundation
type used, it is recommended that the foundation components be
balanced to lower the possibility of differential movement. This
balancing will help the buildings move more or less as single
units, rather than in a differential manner. The foundation
system should be proportioned such that the pressure on the soil
is approximately the same throughout the building. The judicious
use of voids beneath very light walls wiII help balance the
structure, as well as to develop the minimum design pressures
dictated by the expansive clays. Using the criterion of deao
Ioad plus approximately one-ha1f the live 1oad, the contact
pressures should be balanced to within +300 psf beneath aI1 load
bearing walls throughout the residential units. For the sandier
soils, isolated interior column pads sirould be oesigned for
pressures of slightly less than the average selecteo for the
cearing wal-ls. On the cIays, isolated pads should be oesigned
for pressures of slightly more than the exterior wall average.
Using whicnever criterion is applicable, we woulo recommend
-19-
balancing these internal pads on Pressures of approximately 150
psf more or less than the average of the exterior walls.
A11 floor slabs on grade must be
constructed to act independently of the other structural portions
of the building. These floor slabs should contain deep construc-
tion or contraction joints to facilitate even breakage and to
help minimize any unsightly cracking which could result from dif-
ferential movement. Floor slabs on grade should be placed in
sections no greater than 20 feet on a sioe. Prior to
constructing slabs on 9rade, all existing topsoil and organics
must be removed from the building interior. Likewise, all foun-
dations must penetrate the topsoil layer -
A compacted gravel laYer of 4 to 6
inches in thickness would be recommended beneath all slabs on
grade. This gravel layer would act as a capillary break" A
vapor barrier is recommended beneath all slabs on grade'
Any interior non-Ioad bearing par-
titions which will be constructed to rest on the floor slab
shoulo be constructed with a sPace of lk inches at either the top
or the bottom of the wall, when the slabs will rest on the silty
clays of SoiI Type No. 1. This space wilt allow for future
expansion of the clays while preventing damage to the wall and
floor section above.
The existing drainage in the area
must either be maintained or improved. Water should be draineO
away from the structures as rapioly as possible and should noL be
allowed to stand or pond in the area oi the buildings. The sur-
face drainage across the entire subdivision musc be carefully
-20-
controlled to Prevent infiltration and saturation of the foutr-
Oation soils. The overall grading plan must be designed such
that water removed from one building is not Oirected into t'he
backfilled areas of an adjacent structure.
To give the building extra lateral
stability and to aid in the rapidity of runoff, all backfill
around the builoing and in utility trenches in the vicinity of
the Structure sirould be comPacted to at least 90t of its maximum
Proctor dry density, ASTM D-698. The native materials encoull-
tered on this site rnay be used for backfilling purposes, if so
desired. AlI bacl(filI must be compacted to the required density
by mechanical means. No water flooding techniques of any type
should be used in the placement of fill on this site.
A subsurface PeriPheral drain,
including an adequate gravel collector, sand filter and per-
forated drain pipe, should be constructed around the outside of
each Structure at foundation level. Dry wells should not be used
anywhere on this site. The discharge pipe should be given a free
gravity outlet to the ground surface. If "daylight" is not
available, a sealed sump and pump should be used.
As mentioned earlier, the low ciensity
surface clays on site are very compressible. Should it be desired
to do some cut and filf work across the subdivision, it would not
be recommended that any more than 2 feet of fill be placed on these
clays. If more than 2 feet of fill is planned in any area, then a
consoliOation study shoulC be performed. This can be done ;it. a
Iarer oate ano adoed as an addendum to this report.
-2L-
Some of the clayier ioundation
materials would be anticipated to contain sulfates in detrimental
quantities; therefore, a Type II Cement is recommended for use in
all concrete which will be in contact with all clayey foundation
soi1s. Under no circumstances should calcium chloride ever be
aodeo to a Type II Cement. In the event that a Type II Cement is
difficult to obtain, a Type I Cement may be substituted, but only
if it is protected from the soil by an imperrneable membrane. A
Type I Cement can be used ii foundations rest on the gravels on1y.
Treatnent Plants:
At the present time, there is a water
treatment plan and a sewage treatment plant proposed for this
suboivision. The proposed water treatment plant site consists of
L.4 acres in the southeast corner of the subdivision, in the vici-
nity of Test Pit No. 7. The proposed sewage treatment site is to
occupy approximately 3 acres on the west end of the subdivision,
approximately between Test Pits No. I and 2. We understano that at
this time these locations are only tentative.
As a very preliminary bearing value
for the two treatment plants, a 3000 psf maximum couid be used with
no minimum, provioing that the foundations rest entirely on the gra-
vel cf Soit Type No. 3. Ilowever, when the location and oesign of
the treatment plants becomes final, it must be strongly recommended
that a further subsuriace soils invesiigation be done. At that
time, recommendatior-rs, <iesign bearing values, and permeability
values can be given.
It is believed that aI1 pertinent
po:-nts concerning the subsuriace soils on this site nave been
-22-
covered in this report. If soil types and conditions other than
those outlined herein are noted during construction on the site,
these should be reported to Lincoln-Devore so that changes in
recommendations can be made, if necessary. rf questions arise or
further information is required, please feel free to contact
Lincoln-DeVore at any time.

19. The historic irrigation of the lancls describe<1 in
paragraphs L? and 18 alrcve has resulted in a dry year rle..
pletion to the Garfiet<l Creek - Colorado River System of
approximately 1.12 acre feet per acre Per year whiLe the
averagle year depletion has been approximately J" 38 acre feet
per acre. The removal of land from irrigation wil-l there-
fore have the result oi increasing the dry year flow of
Garfield Creek by 1. 12 acre feet per acre and the average
Q anra fcct for each acre of land thusyear florv bY 1-38 acre feet for e
removed frorn.irrigatiol: and if applicant removes the entire

20. During the .irrigation season' Applicant need not
deliver replaccment flows to the Colorado River in response to
calls from rights on that river in order to avoid curtailing
cliversions"on the jinicr priorities 6f the Garlield springs
if Applicant can demonstrate that curtailing diversions
from those springs would not produce an increase in the flow
of the Colorado River at the points of dj'version from that
river of ienior water rights below the mouth of Garfield
Creek at times when diversions on the Priorities of otheT
junior uPstrear$ rights, whether on the mainstream or tributaries
thereto, are being curtailed to increase.the flow available
for diversion on those lenior rights
2L. The increase in ftow produced by Applicant in
drying up his lands will enter the Garfield Creek-Baldy
Creek stream system in' quantities' at locations ald at tirtes
when, during the irrigation season such increa'sed floras can
replace the depletions resulting from the'use of water from
Applicant's sprj-ngs arrd wells' in serving his land and therely
avoid any injury to those who own or use vest€d or condi-
tional water rights to the use of water for irrigation

demand for the .diversion.of l'ater.from the surface flows of
Garfield Creek and Baldy Creek on the priorities of any
rights for purpor"t otht= than irrigation that are senior to
priorities claimed by t'he Applicant for the Garfield Creek
springs which have been submitted for adjudication in Case

from those springs, there is no need for him to repJ-ace the
resulting depletions in either Garfield Creek or Baldy
Creek. : .
24. Applicant shal 1 be required to replace noniirigation

fields. The Union OiI Company and Colorado River l.rater
Conservation District shall have 30 days in r'rhich to resPond
to Applicantrs Quadrennial Report and, if.the response
questions the accuracy of the consumptive use reported for
the leaching fields, the Divisio4 Engineer shal1 conduct an
inquiry into the matter and make an administrative deter-

New Castlers gnourth pattenn has been dinected tcaruand the south side oF the
Colonado Riven due to the geotogic bannien oF ihe Gnand Hogback to ihe
south and west. Ownenship oF lange amounts oF land by the Buneau oF Land
Managemrt, Cotonado Fue[ and Inon and pnivate agnicultunal tntenests
. have cuntailed gnoruth to the north and east and in the Peach Va[ley aneas.
With the Appte Tnee Pank and Mountatn Shadcnars Subdivision completety
occupied, the next logical extension oF th'e community woutd be westenly
to the lands included in this appticatton.
F ig u re 1 Regional M ap
The Council oF Govennments has p";-
jected that the population of GanField
Count5z will incnease Fnom 25,998 in
Decemben 19BO to 50,559 bY the end
oF 1985. The gnanrth will cause an
unpnecedented demand fon housing.
\--i
II. OBJECTTVES
SigniFicant changes have taken place and unpnecedented gnonrth is
pr.ojected tn GanFieLd County since the Wood Landing lands wene zoned
A/R/RD and A/1. The pnimatry changes have been an unfoneseen
tncnease in the need Fon housing, incneased costs oF land development
and home constnuction, and the inabitity oF the housing industny to pnorzide
a full. nange oF housing oppontunities. The Planned Unit Zone Distnict (PUD)
oF the Zoning Resolution allcnrys a neanalysis oF onventional devetopment
techniques on such lands as those zoned A/R/RD and A/I. The PUD Zone
Distnict pnovides a method fon cneating a Residential Development having
Foun dwetl.ing units pen gnoss acne, theneby nesulting in eFFiciencies oF
utilities and communitSz inFastnuctunes, and netention oF open space and nec-
neational oppontunities Fon nesidents oF the development.
The Wood Landing Planned Unit Developrrent is designed to achieve the
Fottcnruing punposes and objectives:
(1) To pnorzide a quality development oniented tcnruand cmstnuction oF
housing tn the $5O,OOO to $60,OOO nange (1980 Doltans). The development
would pnorzide necessany necneational and community open space.
(2) Wood Landing is well located nean New Castle and existing tnans-
pontation noutes to.Intenstate 70. Design and pncrrzision oF a pleasant nest-
dentiat development located in the mild valley climate FutFttts one oF the
Planned Unit Developmentts punposes.
(G) Wood Landing pnovides a unifonm tneatment throughout the single
Famity nesidentiat PUD by pnoviding open space and seryices Fon use by
aII nesidents oFthe PUD. The continued use oFthe open space is insuned
by the pnoposed dedication to the Count5z.
(4) One intent oF the Planned Unit Development Zone Distnict is to
encounage innovations in nesidential development so that the gncrrruing demands
oF the poputation may be met by gneaten vaniet5z in type, design and tayout oF
buildi.ngs and by the conserruation and mone eFFicient use oF open space
-2-
ancillary to said buildings.
The Wood Landing PUD has been designed to inconponate pnoven
urlcan development concepts whi.ch nesutt in maximum eFficiencies in
use oF land and utitity layouts. Tl€ density concepts inconponated in the
design ane nequined i.F GanField Coun\z is to meet its necognized need Fon
aFFondable housing.
(5) WoOd Landing witl employ pnct\zen technology in both potable
waten and waste waten tneatment Facitities. The innovative design and
constnuction oF public serwices will nesult in immediate economical
savi.ngs to punchasens oF houses in Wood Landing of the initial investment
and also pnojected maintenance costs oven many Futune yeans'
In addition, beneFits associated with housing designs and ptacerment
on adjacent lots, wi.ll pnovide dinect liveability aclruantages. Each devetop-
ment tnact will. be assigned a mix of homes with a speciFic design and so
located on the lots so as to insune a divensit5Z in appeanance and to maximize
use oF visual open space on adjoining lots'
(6) The consolidatim oF houstng units will nesult in less azenatl noad
anea to be maintained pen population unit. The urtilization oF public tnans-
pontation by r-esidents oF the PUD is also made mone pnactical by its
location and population concentnation.
The net efFect of the Wood Landing PUD wilt be the nealization of the
pUD zoning intent to lessen the bunden oFtnafFic on higl-ways. The popula-
tion gnowth tn the count5z is expected to double by the end oF 1985' The
necognition and acceptance oF the nequinement Fon housing associated with
the gncnvth cannot be avoided. The consolidation oF housing to the extent
possible wilt obviously neduce noad impacts Fnom what would be expenienced
iF the same units wene spnead c /en a largen anea. Roads to the development
ane alneady maintained on a finst class basis and the impact would be less
tl-ran would nesult iF the same nesidential units wene scattened oven largen
aneas oF tl-e count5l.

(7) The Wood Landing Ptanned Unit Development witl include the
best Features oF moderrr design Fon nesidential communtties'
(8) The vatue oF the land wiII not only be conserved when developed
as a PUD but witl. be enhanced by the utilization oF the marginal agnicul-
tunal gnazing lands Fon mone vatuable punposes. Tfte Scenic portions of
the pnoperty witl be canefutl.y pnesenved and made availabte Fon use oF
thre nesidents oF the PUD -
(g) The sites natunal clranactenistics witl be maintained by designi'ng
residential aneas away Fnom dinect fnontage on the Colonado Riven and
GanFteld cneek. The pinion junipen slopes opposite a pontion oF the develop-
ment wi.tl be pneserwed as gneenbelt anea'
(10) The integnated planning and constnuction oF uti.lities, stneets and
houses witt be accomplished by the developen as addnessed in the pneceding
panagnaPhs.
III. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PISN OF 1968 AS
r,.^oprrreD BY 6app1=tD COUNTY ZONING REGULATIoNS
The Genenal Plan oF 1968 necognized that 'rGanField Counbz is

"As a statement oF poliqT, the Genenal PIan embodies necommenda-

envinonment as it does, many situations descnibed in the plan have not
been exploned in suFFicient depth to embody a concnete, detailed solu-
tion. Rathen, the Function oF the plan is to pnovide an ovenatl view of
the total pnoblJm to senze as a compnehensive guide. As a poliry

oF thre Adopted Plan was acknowledged as Follcws:

The Genenal Plan also considenedrrLand Use Planningtton page 31 .
ttLand Use Planning involves designatton of speciFic aneas
suitable Fon compatibLe associations of individual pnopenty
impncrrzements. Choice oF pnopen designation nequines anatysis
oF existing neal estate impnorzements, location oF existing and
pnoposed cirrculation antentals and chanacten oF physical envinon-
ment. The status oF community utitities and Facilities is similanty
impontant. The objective is to enhance pneviously developed areas,
which may in centain instances irnrolve pnotection Fnom incompattble
uses, and tq igs uses in new aneas in such @
cor-pbination oF existing and Future developments nesults in an unban
ffil and convenient. Each secton should bepattern tl'at ls Functionat ano convenrenr

a lar"gen scale, the entire county can be considened a single communiw
with vanious Functional noles FulFitted by existing toarns, new unban

The ',Land Use Associations" on page 31 of the Genenal Plan states
ttLand aneas pnoposed Fon each categony of land ane indicated on the Genenal
PIan by colon code.rt The pnoposed categonies oF land wene laten changed
when the Board of CountSZ Commissionens enacted the Zoning Resolutions
oF 1972. The pnesent Boand oF Count5Z Comrnissionens necognized the
need to encounage the apptication oF new constnuction and design concepts
in new developments and appnozed a Planned Unit Developrre nt zone distnict
in the Zoning Resolution.
The zone distnict penmits the consolidation oF nesidential units into a
centnal anea which nesults in less noad and uttlity costs to the Families
that wil.l live in the Planned Unit Development. A signiFicant ach,zantage
to the count5z is the neduced maintenance costs oF noads associated with the
developmentf s design.
In summany, thre Wood Landing planned unit development complies with
the recommendations oF the Genenal Ptan oF 1968 and the subsequent zoning
and subdivision negulations adopted by the Board oF County Commissionens.
penhaps most signiFicant to the Count5z ane the beneFits the development will
have in pngrziding aFFor^dable single Family nesidential units in time to nelieve
some oF the gnourth pnoblems expected in the next thnee yeans.

ment, Colonado Fuel and Inon and pnivate agnicultunal intenests have cur-tailed
gnowth to the nonth and east and in the Peach Valley aneas. With the Appte

in19. The historic irrigatlon of the landls described
paragraphs 17 andt 18 above has resulted in a dry year de-
pletion to the Garfield Creek - Colorado River System of
approximately 1.12 acre feet per acre Per year while the
averagre year depletion has been approximatety 1'38 acre feet
!"t ""t.. The removal of land from irrlgation will there-
fore have the result of increasing the dry year flow of
Garfield Creek by 1-I2 acre feet per acre and the average
year flow by 1.38 aere feet for each acre of land thus
removed frorn irrigation and if applicant renoves the entireff
875 acres from irrigat5.onl he will cause an avarage^rncrease

If Applicant can demonstrate that curtailing iliversions

The statF necommendecl appnoval based on the commitments made by
the applicant in the attached Septemben 8, 19BO tetten.
GanField Counbz Planning Commi.ssion -
Recommended Appnoval
The Planning Commissionrs initial neview of Wood Landing had identitied
concenns neganding noad impnovements west of Wood Landing, widentng
of the GanField Cneek Bnidge, noad maintenance, Fine pnotection, and impact
on the schools. The second pnesentation adequately nesolved all tl-re pnoblem
aneas as genenally discussed belowr
(1) Roads
(2)
(3)
At tl-e nequest oF the County Commissionens, the County Road
Supenvison pnepaned an estimate oF costs to widen the bnidge
at GanField Cneek and to impnove the noad west of Wood Land-
ing. The estimate nesulted in cost amounts which the applicant
has agneed to pnovide to the County Fon accomplishing the noad
impnovements. In addttion, the Road Superrzison detenmined
that the rnaintenance costs expected inside the subdivision
wouid be ampiy covened by Funds fnom thre State Highway Usens
Tax distnibution Fon the incneased 2.2 miles oF noad. The entine
noad and bnidge pnopenty tax nevenue genenated by the sub-
division could threnefone be applied to othen noad uses.
Fine Pnotection
Fine pnotection at Wood Landing has been evaluated by Keith
Cnandall, the SiIt-New Castle Fine Cheif . A letten maiied to
the Commissionens notes that a site sot-rth oF the niven is
needed and tl-nt the additional equipment wilt impnove the level
oF pnotection to all nesidents oF the community as well as pno-
vide necessary fine pnotection Fon the subdivision.
Schoots
The cunnent RE-2 School Distnict plans pncr.zide Fon enlanging
thre New Castle elementany school and constructing a secondary
school in the easterrr pontion oF the distnict. Classnoom space
exists Fon two yeans Fon students Fnom Wood Landtng at which
time new Factlities should be available.

The appticant has agneed to pnovide a 5% cash payrnent to the school
as pnovided by the Subdivision Regulations.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission detenmined that the pnoposed amendment
"is consistent with the GanField County Genenal Plan and is consistent
with the punposes and intent oF the Ganfield CounW Zoning Resolution"
and voted to necommend appnoval oF the pnoposed zone distnict amend-
rnent.
New Castle Boand oF -l-nustees
The New Castle Boand oF Tnustees and Ralph Fneedman, at a wonkshop
meeting on September 17, 198O, discussed the Wood Landing pnoject.
Although tactual inFonmation had not been made available to the Boand,
the membens wene encounaged to oppose the pnoject and Mn. Fneedman
was authonized to send a letten to the Boand oF Commissionens opposing
the pnoject.
A special public heaning was then scheduled Fon September 29, 1980 by
the Boand oF Tnustees to hean a pnesentation neganding Wood Landing.
The New Castle Boand oF Trr-rstees, aFben heaning the Facts pentaining to
the subdiviston necognized the initial letten v,/as a mistake and voted to
nescind the letten.
Wood Landing
The Wood Landing pnoject has been necommended Fon appnovat by both
the Coun\z Planntng StafF and by the GanField County Planntng Commission.
The necommendations oF the StaFF and Planning Commission neFlect the
nesponsibitit5z and obligaticln that the CountSz has to pnovide decent, aFFond-
able housing to all its pnesent and futune nesidents. Thre seemingly
insunmountable nequinement to double the housirg units in the coeinty tn
only 36 months did not appean to enten into the decisions of eithen the
Planning StaFF on tl-re Ganfi.etd Count5z Planning Commission Fon necommend-

both the StaFF and Commission was to insune that the Wood Landirg develop-
ment wor..rld comply Fulty and completely with att aspects of the Genenal PIan

Glenwood Springs, Colo 81601
Gerrtlemen:
As per your reguest, a review of county Road #335 from exit 105 :t New
Castle to its junction with County Road #33I (East Divide) was made in order
to determine the effect of additional traffic expected as a result of the
proposed I'Jood's Landing Subdivision. The cost to improve the road in its
present lccation is also provided as are reviews on maintenance of Lhe 2.2
miles of paved road within the subdivision, including snow plowing.
The understanding I have is that the developer has agreed to improve the
one-half rnile of paved road along the south edge of the propertT. ft needs
minor straightening, widened Lo 22 feet, lowered in some areas to improve
sight distance and drainage installed. In Addition, the bridge at the junction
of Garfield Creek wouLd need to be widened or replaced.
The road width from Interstate 70 to the west along County Road #335 to
Apple Tree Park would accomodate the traffic of both Apple Tree and Woodts
Landing, however it must be noted that at times during winter months with
snow and ice conditions, and during the peak of rush hour, it does become
congested with the present traffic flow of 1540 cars per 24 hour period. t^lest
from Apple Tree Park to the Garfield Creek bridge on County Road #335, the road
is not as good because the shoulders are narrosr, but with improvement,
primarily near the irrigation ditch crossing, the road is adequate to handle
the traffic from lJood's Landing at a 35 MPH speed limit.
The position of the road west of the subdivision is graveled, varies in width
and needs to be impro'.red and preferably relocated in one area. The Transportation
Study prepared in l-977 by Oblinger-Smith recommended "shape surface, apply chip
seal, no rna jor reconstructir:n or qracling, approximately 3.1 miles. Thie
wouldincrease ca[]acit7 f rr.,in 400 to 1000 VPD. Estimatcd cosL S)2,000.

Costs to improve roads have increased since 1977, and a recent traffic
count indicates the 24 hour use of the road is 24r vehicres per day or
between 30 and 40 per hour at its busiest time. The amount of traffic which
would 90 lrest over the 3.1 miles of gravel road is not able to be determined
accurately. A computation assuming 20t of the daily traffic from Wood's
Landing going west would leave most trips during the day over the paved road
headed east. In all probability most of the 208 west bound would be during
6:00-8:00 a.m. and 4:00-6:00 p.m. by workers. using the folrowlng 327 homes
X average 5 trips per day X 158 per hour X 4 hours X 203 of total workers =
196 or an average of 49 trips per hour at its highest. The road would need to
be improved at anything over this traffic leve1. Several rough figures have
been discussed based on various levels of improvement. The Roan Creek Road
(County Road #204) actual costs have been adjusted to provide a representative
cost figure for the road, were it to be i;nproved in its present location.

plowing.
In Conclusion, maintenance and snow removal $r:thin the subdivision are not considered
to be out of the ordinary compared to the remainder of the county, they would
simply be an addition to our present duties. It should be recognized, however, that
major snow storms could reguire special attention, possibl!, snow removal on an
occasional basis.
The road can be made to any level of j.mprovement and costs will vary accordingly.
The figures presented in previous paragraphs reflect the minimum amounts which
r believe would insure that traffic levels expected could be safely accomodated.

Re: Silt-New Castle Fine Pnotecti.on
Distnict and the Wood Landing
Planned Unit DeveloPment
Gentlemen:
The Sitt-New Castle Fine Pnotection Distnict has neviewed the plans
fon the pnoposed Wood Landing planned unit development and has concluded
the fine pnotection plan would benefit the balance oF the Distnict as well as
pnovide necessany Fine pnotection Fon the subdivision.
The planned stonage of 5OO gallons Fon each of 327 units would be
163rOOO gallons total capacity. Pnoviding an allcurance fon nonmal
minimum stonage, the available waten supply fon use in tt-re event oF a
Fine is mone than adequate Fon extended Fine Figffiing openations.
The long nange plan of the Fine Dtstni.ct has tncluded a goal oF acquin-
irrg a substation tocated in the pnoposed anea to assist the entine community.
The offen oF a tocation nean the pnoposed wastewaten Facili.t5z togetl'ren with
a "dnop-in" package and a late model tnuck (3/4 ton) would solve two needs
of the Distntct. Pnospects oF acquining the site and equi.pment Fnom the
modest nevenues neceived Fnom the 2. BB milt levy ane ver:y' small thereFone
the oFFen is welcomed.
Anothen long tenm beneFit Fon tle Distnict is the incnease in annual
nevenue which would be neceived Fnom the additional vatuation of the homes.
The neceipt oF an additionat $71600 annually in nevenues due to Wood Land-
ing would penmit stgnificant impnorzements and expansion oF fine distnict
services which woutd beneFit othen aneas oF the communit5z.
The Facilities and Fire equipment ofFened would impncrrze the level oF
Fine pnotestion to alt nesidents oF the communtty. We support tt€ concept,
location and appnoach oF Wood Landing and the pnoposed Fine pnotection
p1an.
We would expect to be included in the usual Pneliminary Plat neviews
to Finalize the Fine Pnotection Plan.

Dear l'1r. Baldwln :
I have reviJwed rhe lJood Landing project wirh !1r. Gene
I{iIton. We dlscussed j-n more detal1 the phasing of che
project and considered Ehe number of school age children
likely to come from housing in this development.
In my judgment Ehe New Castle School can accommodate the
youngsters from l^lood Landlng through the 19BI-82 term
withour serious strain on the facllity unless Riverbend
should develop rapidly.
For rhe f982-83 t.erm it 1s possible moblle classrooms wll1
have to be used E.o house children in the New Castle attendance
area. The use of mobile unirs could be required earlier if
Riverbend develops rapidly or if the Wood Landing developnrent
progresses fasEer than I{r. HiIton now feels is likely. tle
indicates Ehe project would be developed over a three c,o five
year perlod.

With the grcvrth of GarfleLd County and resuLtlng lnflux ofpeoFle, lt 1s necessarXr to have houslng. Thls creates prroblemsfor everyone lnvolved and I w111 hold my remarks to the Energency,
Safety and Protection of l1ves and pnoperty aspect.
Wlth each appr^oval of houslng whether a subdlvlslon or lndlvldualhouslng, the demands are lncreased conslderably on 0arf1e1d Countysherlfffs offlce, Flre Departnent and Ambulance se:rrlce. rn-

RE: Annual Taxes Estimatedto be developed from the
proposed Wood Landing P.U.D.
Gentlemen:Ihis office has reviewed Mr. Hiltonrs papers and
believe that he's on the correct course as to es-
timating the taxes for the Wood Landing P.U.D.
The compareable of the Mobil Home Park is also con-
sidered to be a fair estimate of the taxes.
Homes Vis Mobil Homes: The house and l-ot selling for
$55,000 in 1980 times a factor to reach the 1973 }4ar-
ket, times the 1979 MiIl levy could give an estimated
tax of $645.56 in 1981 payable in 7982. Looking at
327 units over a 10 year period could bring in a totalestimated tax of $4,010,000 using L979 levy.
As compared to a Mobil Home Park using Apple Tree asa comparable , 1979 taxes of $196 per site times 327
spaces would bring in $64,092 for the year of 1981 or
10 years at $640,920. This is without an increase in
values. Due to the Mobil Home Law it's hard to estimate
the appreciation of Mobil Homes.

FLOOD PLATN ANALYSIS
COLORADO RIVER
AND
GARFIELD CREEK
THROUGTI THE PROPOSED
WOOD LANDTNG SUBDIVTSION
GENERAL:
This flood plain anarysis has been compreted to determinethe flood hazard zone for 100 year froods on the coloradoRiver and Garfield creek through the proposed i{ood Landingsubdivisi-on located in sections 4 & 5, Township 6 south,Range 91 West, Garfield County, Colorado. The proposed
development consists of 32a single family units on a 91acre parcel of land. The colorado River forms the northboundary of the subdivision for about 3/4 of a mi1e.Garfiel-d creek flows through the extreme eastern cornerof the site.
The intent of this analysis i-s to furfill the requirementsof the Garfield county zoning resorution of r97B and sub-division regulation of 1978.
HYDROLOGY:
Colorado Ri-ver:
The 100 year flood discharge for the Colorarrio River has beenextracted from the Flood rnsurance study, ilarfield county,cororado, February, L977, prepared by the sacramento DislrictCorps of Engineers for the Fecleral fnsurance Administration,u.s. Department of Housing and urban Devel-oprnent. The 100year flood discharge of the colorado River h-rerow Elk creekis given in the referencecl study as 41,000 cfs (cubic feetper second). The tributary area betwecn Ftlk creek and theproject site is less than 0.5," of the d::ainage basin at thepoint where the referenced stuciy establishecl a f Iow of 4t,oo0cfs. The figure of 41,000 cfs has thereforc been utilizedfor this analysls.
Garfield Creek:
several empirical and statisticalry basr:d r'.rethods were usedto estabrish the 100 year flood discharge of Garfield creek.Garfield creek has a totar drainage ar€ja of 28.g square milesas shown on plate no. 1. The basin ran,i.rs in erevition fromelevatj-on 5,500 ft. at its junction witn the colorado Riverto a leve1 10,500 ft. at its upper lirniLs on sunlight peak.
The portion of the basin below elevati.. 6,800 ft. ischaracterized by sparse vegetation con-q,sti-ng of sage and

grass on the hillsides, while the valley floor is primarilyj-rrigated native grass hay meadows. Between the elevationiof about 61800 ft. and 7,600 ft., the vegetative coverchanges to dense oak Brush with stands of pinyon and Juniper.Above the erevation of 7,600 ft. the ground cover consi-sti ofspruce and Apsen trees rvith some areas of oak Brush, pinyon
and Juniper. The soil tlzpes in the basin are hydrologicgroup c soils in the area below about elevation 7,600 andgroups B & C above elevation 7,600.
The geographical location of Garfield creek together withthe elevation of the basin places it in the caiegory ofstream that cannot be clearly classified as having acritical 100 year runoff derived from snowmelt or rainfarl.Therefore, it was necessary to anaryse r00 year snowrneltrunoff, 100 year rainfarl runoff, and a combination eventto deternrine which event produced the criticar runoff event.
complete calcurations for the four methocls employed toreach a design discharge for Garfield creek aie includ.edin the Appendix. The resurts of the four methods aretabulated below:
Regionalized approach as contained in Magnitudeand Frequency of Floods in the United States,Part 9, Colorado River Basin, Geologtical Surveytr{ater-Supply Paper 1683. - This methocl is veryreliable for snowmelt clerived runoff events.The 100 year discharge calculated by thismethod is 462 cfs.
Combination of rnean annual snowmelt runoff fromarea above elevation 7,500 ft. per methoci no. tabove, and 100 year clouclbr-lrst on area beloivelevation 7,500 ft. from envelope cLirves containedin Internal Office Memorandum, Garfield and llesaCounties, Plood Insurance Study Hydrology, l,lov.,L975, Sacramento District Corps of Enqineers.This rnethod recognizes that a cloudburst eventmay occur on the lower portion of the basinwhile a reasonable snowmelt runoff is stilloccurring in the upper portion of the basin.The 100 year discharge calculated by this methodis L477 cfs.
Snowmelt runoff flood based on envelooe curvescontained in the Corps of Engineers Mlmorandumlisted in no. 2 above. - By this method the 1.00year snowmelt flood runoff would be 950 cfs.

4) Rainfall runoff derived 100 yr. flood valueusing Procedures for Determining peak Flowsin Colorado, U.S. Soil Conservation Service,March, L977. - This method develops a I00 yr.flood value based on the assumption of adesign 100 yr. storm spread over the entirebasin. The 100 yr. flood discharge developedby this method is 1451 cfs.
The four approaches clearry irlustrate that the critical 100year flood event will be rainfalr derived or due to rainfarlin combj-nation wj-th snowmelt. A design discharge of 1500cfs has been selected for the 100 year flood on Garfieldcreek. For purposes of cornparison, the 25 year f1ooc1 wasalso calculated by the S.C.S. procedure (ttelhod 4) to be775 cfs.
Flood Plai-n Calculation:
The procedure normally accepted by all agencies for calculatingflood plains ls the u.s. Army corps of Engineers HEC-2 computeiProgram. since the study reach for this analysis was so short,the decision was made to calculate the flood prain by manualmethods using the same procedure as the HEC-2 program.
l4annings 'rl1rr roughness varues of 0.03 for the nain channel,0.04 for pasture overfrow areas, and 0.06 for tree and brushcovered overflow areas were selected. cross sections weretaken at 1,000 ft. intervals from a l',=100,, 2 ft. contourinterval map prepared for the Colorado State i{ighway Departmentby Air Photo Surveys. Two cross sections were inctlaecl doln-strearn of the project to establish a reliable vrater surfaceat the downstream limit of the study area. A theoreticalbottom profile and cross sectional area below the v,rater sur-face profile at the time of photography was estabrished bycaleulating the flow area required to -arry the flow in theriver at the time of photography.
]MPACT OF F'LOOD PLAIN ON PROJECT:
The 100 year flood plains of both the Cororad.o River andGarfierd Creek are shovrn in plan and profile on the accompany-ing drawings. cross sections at typiial locations are alsoillustrated.
The 100 year flood plain of the Colorado River is containedwith well defined bank through about L/2 the length of thesite, specifically, beyond station 37 + 00 (witrr the exceptionof a section where an old channel of Garfield Creek enters thechannel). Below station 37 + 00 the bank is not clearty de-fined, &s the gently sloping pasture land graduarly steepensas it approaches the River. A flood fringe area his been

indicated from the downstream limit of the study area toStation 37 + 50 and from Station 45 + 00 to 47 + 00. Theflood fringe as indicated includes those areas where thedepth of flow is less than 2 feet (below Station 37 + 50)or where the flood plain is a ponding area only (Sta. 45 +00 to 47 + 00). pi11 could safely be placed in the floodfringe to extend the buildable area toward the river.Filling the designated areas wourd not raise the frood plain1evel by more than a few tenths of a foot. use of the froodfringe woul-d be governed by the Garfield county Flood prain
Regulation.
The 100 year flood plain of Garfield Creek is containedtotally within a well def j-ned channel.
A11 divelling units near the flood prain or in the flood plainarea should be constructed such Lhat the lorvest f1oor, in-cluding basements, are at least one foot above the flood plain1eve1. Por buirdings without basernents we suggest that thetop of the foundation waIl be kept at least one foot abovethe flood plain lever. Back yards could safely extend intothe floodway areas, but residents should rearize that fencesconstructed within this area may be swept away by najor floocs.

INTRODUCTION
Personnel of Lincoln-DeVore have
completed an engineering geology and preliminary subsurface soils
investigation on the proposed wood Landing puD in Garfield county,
colorado. rnfornation included in this report !r,as gathered from
fierd mapping of geologic materials exposed on the site, the
excavation of 10 exploratory test pits, 4 subsurface bore hores,
aeriar photo anarysis, laboratory testing and engineering and
geologic analysis. The generar site rocation can be found on
Figure 1. Geologic information and the location of test pits and
bore holes are found on the Engineering Geologic Map (Figure z).
It is our understanding that the
proposed subdivision wirl be subdivided in order to provide
approximately 340 lots for construction of single famiry resi-
dences. rn addition, L.4 acres wirr be utirized for a water
treatment facility and 3 acres will be utirized for a sewage
treatment facility. The exact nature of the structures proposed

SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject site is located approxi-
mately 2 miles southwest of the Town of New Cast1e in Garfield
county, colorado. The property consists of approximately g0
acres located at the confluence of the colorado River and
Garfierd creek. specificalry, the site is an irregular shaped

parcel located in the south half of Section 4, Township 5 south,
Range 9I west of the Sixth Principal Meridian.
Physically, the majority of the site
consists of a broad, relatively flat terrace located on the south
side of the Colorado River. In the extreme southern portion of
the site, south of an existing county road, a rather steep slope
(also part of the site) descends to the county road. Above this
slope, exists a relatively gentle to moderately north sloping,
elevated terrace of the Colorado River. In the northern portion
of the siter orr the first (lowest) terrace IeveI, elevations
range from 5530 to 5490, with a general slope slightly toward the
northwest. Slope angles in the southern portion of the property
on the slope generally average 66E.
Drainage on the site is dominated by
the Colorado River on the extreme northern property boundary and
by Garfield Creek which drains across the extreme easterly por-
tion of the site. A few small, well incised drainages drain the
slopes to the south of the site. Although Garfield Creek appears
to be well incised in its present course, an old abandoned chan-
nel of Garfield Creek can be found in the extreme northeast por-
tion of the site. Overall drainage on this site is uncontrolled
to moderately directed by furrows developed during cultivation.
In the southern portion of the site, just south of the county
road, exists a shallow irrigation ditch which has its source from
Garfield Creek to the east. Drainage from this irrigation ditch
is directed onto the site in the extreme southwest portion where
it is directed underneath the road in a culvert and allowed to
flow on the subject site. Although the topographic map indicates

GENERAL GEOLOGY
The geologY of this site is domi-
nated by various Quaternary deposits and by the Tertiary Wasatch
Formation which outcrops in the steep slope in the southern por-
tion of the property and underlies the subdivision at depth'
The Wasatch Formation consists of a
very thick sequence of interbedded, multi-colored siltstones,
claystones and shales with widely intercalated lensatic beds of
fine grained, tan to buff sandstone. One of these sandstone
units outcrops in the extreme southwest portion of the site just
southerly of the irrigation ditch adjacent to the lateral
drainage descending to the site. The majority of the Wasatch in
the site area, however, consists of the softer claystones and
siltstones. The majority of the Wasatch Formation on this slope
is not exposed and covered by a thickness of colluvial deposits'

In the latest geologic episode, the
Southern nocky Mountain region has been subjected to intense ero-
sion, renewed uplift and canyon cutting and glaciation. While
all of these processes have affected the subdivision area to one
degree or another, the dominant processes in recent geologic time
have been degradational, involving erosion, weathering and mass
wasting. These processes have bared the Wasatch rocks throughout
much of the New Castle area; furthermore, they have resulted in a
local deposition of quantities of fine grained debris along the
base of the steeper slopes. Although the northern portion of the
site has been mapped as a lower terrace deposit, this terrace
deposit is covered by a variable thickness of fine grained clay
soils derived from the weathering of the Wasatch Formation. AIso,
portions of this terrace are covered by debris fan material
resulting from flash flooding and debris flows from the small
lateral drainages which drain northerly onto the site. Most of
these fined grained clays covering the terrace were deposited
from actions of sheetwash.
In addition to the smaIl debris fans
in the southern portion of the site, there exists an alluvia1
fan/debris fan in the northeast portion of the site which was
deposited as the result of flash flooding ano debris flow acti-
vity of Garfield Creek. An exploratory test pit in this area
indicates that these alluvial fan materials are composed of a
fine grained, sandy silt material overlain by the fine grained
clay sheetwash material. Over the majority of the no.rthern por-
tion of the site, are the terrace sands and gravels deposited
from the Colorado River when it flowed at higher elevations.

A1so, in the extreme southern portion of the site is another such
elevated terrace deposit which overlies the Wasatch Formation.
These terrace deposits characteristically consist of a mixture of
sandsr gravels and cobbles which are weII rounded and vary from a
gravel and cobble mixture with silty sand matrix to silty sand
with sand and gravel intermixed. A more detailed description of
the soil types and materials encountered in the subsurface
exploratory test pits and borings will be given in the soils
engineering section of this report.
Another mapped geologic unit which
occurs on the site occurs in the form of two smal1 soil slumps
which have occurred on the north facing slope in the extreme
southeast portion of the site. These smaII slumps have occurred
in the colluvium covering the slope and are less than three feet
deep. These soil slumps have apparently resulted from the
saturation of the surface materials on the steep slope.

due to its steepness and the Presence of the small soil slumps
noted. Although bedrock appears to be oriented favorably for
stability, the colluvium on the slope is unstable. It is our
understanding, however, that construction is not planned on or
near this slope, and therefore, no mitigation will be necessary.
This slope also contains a slight rockfall hazard from cobbles
and boulders which weather out of the terrace material. The
existing county road and shoulder wil1, however, provide an ade-
quate buffer zone for this hazard. The remainder of the slopes
on the property appear to be stable in their natural state.
Although most of the clayey sloPe-
wash materials found on the surface in the northern portion of
the site can stand temporarily without artificial support, when
these materials are saturated, slope instabilities in cuts can
occur. Additionally, the underlying sand and gravel of the
terrace materials exhibited severe caving in a number of the test
pits. Considerations of safety dictate that all cut slopes with
total heights of 4 feet or more be either shored or laid back to
slopes of at least I horizontal to 1 vertical. Permanent cut
slopes should be either laid back or supported with some sort of
retaining structure.
Flooding and Surface Drainage:
Since the site is located on the
Colorado River and the drainage of Garfield Creek crosses the
site, care should be exercised in order to avoid the 100-year
floodplains of these drainages. It is understood that the

drainage study for this subdivision is to be provided by others.
Since the site has been reworked to some extent by the activities
of cultivation and leveling and an apparent pre-existing depres-
sion has been filled in, it is recommended that the site be
graded so as to properly direct surface drainage off the site'
This wiII be discussed in somewhat more detail in a later section
of this report.
Subsurface Drainage:
Subsurface drainage problems on this
site exist from influences of basically three sources. These are
the Colorado River, Garfield Creek and the irrigation which tra-
verses the extreme southern portion of the site. The water table
encountered in the test borings is considered to be a Permanent
feature on the site and most probably exists because of the
Colorado River drainage. The area where the water table was
encountered at the more shallow depth, however, is located in the
extreme southern portion of the site in Test Boring No. 11. this
water table in this area most probably is shallower due to the
influence of seepage from the irrigation oitch to the south' It
was noted that there are a few spots aojacent to the southerly
portion of the road which are seasonally wet. These apparently
result from leakage from the oitch ano the smal1 areas of
interior drainage created by the road construction in this area
have produced areas where the water migrates from the ditch
through the subsurface materials creating an artificially high
water table. It is recommended that these areas be drained in

order to prevent the ponding of water in these areas and the
drainage which is allowed to flow onto the site from the irriga-
tion ditch through the culvert be discontinued. As an alternate,
a subdrainage system could be constructed parallel with the ditch
to intercept seepage. Water Ievels on the site can be expected
to fluctuate with the seasons and from year to year due to
influences of the three main drainage features.
Debris Flows:
The fine grained soils encountered
in Test pit No. 8 in the alluvial/debris fan of Garfield Creek
indicate that this fan most probably developed from the actions
of alluvial deposition rather than debris flow activity. True
debris flow activity from this drainage is probably not like1y.
If any such flows should occur, however, the channel should be
cleared immediately of any debris to provide a safe path for both
water and debris runoff. The other four debris fans which
encroach upon the site located in the southern portion are rela-
tively small features. Some very small loads of deactivated
debris flows were noted in a few of the channels of the small
drainages, however, none were very Iarge. The existing irriga-
tion ditch, county road and setbacks of at Ieast 50 feet north of
the road right-of-way should be maintained to provide adequate
litigation from debris flows from the small drainages.
SoiIs and Construction Factors:

surface soils conditions will be presented in a later section of

this report. Generally, the foundation soils encountered on this
site are mainly of a colluvial or slopewash nature, having been
deposited across the subdivision by the action of sheetwash ori-
ginating in the higher areas to the south. These materials
classified as silty clays and were found to be expansive in
nature. These materials are generally thicker in the south por-
tion of the site and thin toward the Colorado River. Depths
ranging from greater than t2 to 3 feet were noted.
In the central portion of the site,
the pre-existing interior drainage area has apparently been par-
tiaIly infilIed. If fill is encountered at foundation depths, it
can be appropriately dealt with as discussed in the soil section
of this report.
Underlying the slopewash clays on
the site are the Colorado River Terrace materials which are also
discussed from a soils engineering standpoint in these sections.
ENVIRONI,IENTAL HAZARDS AND RESOURCES
Although there are no known active
faults in the vicinity of the site, aII of western Colcrado is
consioered to possess a certain seismic risk. This is a con-
sequence of the past tectonic activity which form the Southern
Rocky Mountains and of the ongoing minor seismic activity of cer-
tain parts of the region. Consequently, it is recommended that
structures in western Colorado be designed in accordance with the
requirements of the uniform building code for Seismic Risk Zone 2.
There are no known oeposits of
radioactive minerals in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision.

The sands and gravels of the Colorado River Terrace have been
IocaIIy mined for use as sand and gravel. These deposits should
be considered aS a mineral resource, although economics of
extraction and value are not known. Problems associated with the
recovery of this resource would involve the removal of the clay
overburden and with the presence of the high grounowater table on
this site. It is probable tirat the value of the land as an area
for residential housing might outweigh its value as an economic
mineral resourCe. This, however, would involve a County Land Use

BORINGS, LABORATORY TESTS AND RESULTS:
Ten test pits were excavate<i and
four test borings were drilled across the subdivision, and are
located approximately as shown on Figure 2. The test borings and
test pits were placed in such a manner as to obtain a reasonably
good profile of the subsurface soils. A11 test pits were exca-
vated with a hydraulic backhoe, and samples were taken by bulk
methods. A11 test borings were drilled with a power-driven con-
tinuous auger drill. samples were taken with a standard split-
spoon sampler and by bulk methods.
The soil profile encountered in the
test pits and test borings can broadly be described as a two-
layer system. The upper layer of soil, extending from I to greater
than 12 feet in depth of the upper soil profile is a slopewash
material consisting of a silty c1ay. This material was encountered
at or near the surface in 13 of the 14 test pits and test borings.
These clays are generally of very low density. The second tayer of
the soil profile consists of the Colorado River Terrace, which is
described as a poorly graded gravel and cobble. This material was
encountered at the surface in Test Boring No. L4, and directly
beneath these silty clays in L2 of the remaining test borings and
test pits. The only variation to this soil profile was found in
Test Pit No. 8. In this test pit, a sandy silt was found directly
beneath the silty cIays.
The precise gradational and plasti-
city characteristics associated with the soils encountered during
drilling can be found on the attached summary sheets. The repre-
sentative number for each soir group is indicated in a snraIl
circle immediately below the sampring point on the Drilling Logs.

The following discussion of the soil grouPs will be general in
nature.
Soil Type No. 1 classified as a
silty clay (Cr,1 of very fine grain size. Soil Type No. t is
plastic and of variable density. Where these clays are encoun-
tered in a high density, low moisture condition, they will have a
tendency to expand with swell pressures on the order of 1600 psf
being typical. This nagnitude of expansion is generally suf-
ficient to affect all structural portions of the building, as
well as the lightly loaded floor slabs on grade and other
flatwork. Any foundations resting on this high density clay must
be designed with their expansive potential in mind. Conversely,
where these clays are encountered in a very Iow density, high
moisture state, they wiII have virtually no tendency to expand
upon the addition of moisture. These clays will have a distinct
tendency to long-term consolidation upon loading. However, these
low density clays will be capable of supporting relatively
Iightty loaded shallow foundation systems, providing they are
properly designeo and reinforced. The maximum allowable bearing
capacity for these low density clays was found to be on the order
of 10OO psf with no minimum pressure being required. The maximum
allowable bearing capacity for the higher density clays was found
to be 3000 psf. Soil Type No. 1 contains sulfates in detrimental
quantities.

grain size curve. Generally, this material is non-plastic,
permeable, and was encountered in a high density condition. It
will have no tendency to expand upon the addition of moisture,
nor any tendency to true }ong-term consolidation under load.
Granular materials such as this do exhibit settlement uPon appli-
cation of foundation stresses, but if maximum allowable bearing
capacity values are not exceeded and balancing and reinforcing
recommendat,ions are carefully foIlowed, it is felt that settle-
ment of this material will not create any problems. At any rate,
any settlement should be fairly rapid and will probably be
complete by the end of construction. Foundations located in the
material of Soil Type No. 2 may be proportioned on the basis of a
maximum allowable bearing capacity of 3500 psf with no minimum
pressure required. If the foundation excavation extends any
distance into SoiI Type No. 2t some sluffing of the sides should be
expected. SoiI Type No. 2 was not found to contain sulfates in
detrimental quantities.
Soil Type No. 3 classified as a silt
(I\,It) of fine grain size. SoiI TyPe No. 3 was only encountereo in
the area of Test piL No. 8. This material was found to be of 1ow
plasticity, Iow permeability and of medium density. SoiI Type
No. 3 has very little tendency to expand uPon the addition of
moisturel however, it wiIl have a distinct tendency to settlement
and long term consolidation upon application of foundation loads.
Soil Type No. 3 was found to have an allowable bearing capacity
on the order of 3000 psf with no minimum being required.
Free water was encountered at
various depths across the subdivision, varying from 6\ feet to

River, this free water table is a permanent feature of the site'
and will tend to fluctuate somewhat depending uPon external
environmental effects. Because of this relatively shallow free
water table, basements are not recommended on this site' Some
pumping and rutting may be encountered during the excavation or
road building Processr Pdf,ticular1y if the bottom of the foun-
dations extend near the free water elevation. This is a temporary
quick condition caused by vibration of excavating equipment on the
site. If this should occur, it can be stopped by removal of the
equipment and greater care exercised in the excavation process'

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
In general, the soils found across
the subdivision will form a reasonably good base for the proposed
residential structures. Potentially expansive clays were encoun-
tered at or near the present ground surface in the region of the
majority of the test borings and test pits. These clays were found
to be of varying degrees of expansion and of variable density'
Beneath these clays, but also at foundation leve}, was the higher
density gravel deposit. For the area of the subdivision where the
foundations will rest entirely on these gravel materials, spread
footings of various widths in conjunction with a reinforced
concrete grade beam stem wall will probably be most suitable foun-
dation type. However, in this case, steps must be taken to ensure
that the higher expansive clays do not occur a short distance below
the foundation level, being covered by a thin veneer ot' sand'
For those areas of the subdivision
where the clays are encountered, foundations must be designed
with the expansive potential of the subsurface soils in mind'
The foundation configuration which can be used on the expansive
clays wiII depend uPon the magnitude of foundation loaos exerted
by the residential units as well as the exact degree of expansion
anticipated from the soils. several foundation types are accep-
table for use on these clays. These foundation configurations
would include, but are not limited to:
1) The first foundation option for use on expansive clays would
consist of the no footing design. With this option, the stem
waII would rest directly upon the ground surface. This foun-
dation system would probably prove most satisfactory for
reasonably welI balanced structures resting on clays ("5
clayey said") of 1ower expansive potential. It should be
noted that ti,i." particulai alternitive, as well as several of
the following fo-undation conf igurations, could conceivably be

used on the non-expansive soils in areas across thesubdivision, However, if a designed foundation system is
used in these areas, pdrticular care must be taken that thesoils are not overloaded. The allowab1e values given in thisreport for these sandier materials could be used as a guide-
line for preliminary design, subject to verification byinspection of the open excavation.
The second option would consist of the engineered no footingdesign, with the stem wall resting directly on the ground
surface. The judicious use of voids would be employed to
balance the structure and to increase the contact stresses
beneath any very light walls. For most moderately loaded
foundation systems, this voided stem wall design would pro-
bably prove satisfactory considering the magnitude of expan-sion pressures encountered across the subdivision, and the
anticipated foundation loads for these single family dwellingunits. We would anticipate that the majority of the foun-dation systems used on the clays across the subdivision willfaII into this category.
A balanced pad and grade beam type of foundation system
would form the third general foundation option. This alter-native would involve the use of smaIl bearing pads beneath areinforced concrete grade beam. The grade beam wouLd be con-tinually voided between pads with the foundation loads beingtransferred by the pads only, and not the grade beam betweenpads. this foundation alternative will probably be suitablefor very light structures on clays of high expansionpotential. This configuration generally allows the designerto maintain a fairly high minimum dead load pressure.
The fourth option would consist of a drilled pier and grade
beam system. The expansive clays do have side frictionaleffects which must be taken into account when designing thedrilled piers. The diameter and length of the pier must be
balanced so that the appropriate load carrying capacity is
developed while maintaining enough minimum pressure to pre-
vent upward movement of the piers as a result of expansiveaction. The grade beam would span from pier to pier and be
continually voided between these bearing points.
The fifth foundation configuration would essentially be a
combination of one of the preceding alternatives in conjunc-tion with an overexcavated, compacted granular pad. The
depth of overexcavation would be related to the expansionpotential of the clays, ds well as the nature of the residen-tial units. However, we would anticipate the depth of
overexcavation should be about 3 feet. After overexcavation,a compacted granular pad using non-expansive, non-freedraining soils could be constructed maintaining their minimumof 95t of the soils maximum Proctor dry density, ASTM D-698.
The purpose of this compacted pad is not to entirely overcomethe expansion potential of the clays, but rather to provide abuffer zone between the clays and the foundation. A designed
foundation system similar to one of the preceding

alternatives, would then be constructed on top of the granu-
lar pad. Frequent density tests would be required during pad
construction to insure that an adequate density level is
being maintained. This option would apply if it would bedesirable to increase the bearing value of the low densityclays across the subdivision. With the above describedprocedures, if followed, the maximum bearing capacity would be
increased to 3000 psf. This option would also be used if any
areas of uncontrolled fill are encountered during the excava-tion process.

At the present time, it is difficult
exact maximum and minimum allowable design para-
residential lot across the subdivision. As noted
earlier, the foundation soils are somewhat variable in terms of
their classification and engineering characteristics. The engi-
neering properties given in this report vrere based upon those
soil materials encountered in our subsurface exploration program.
While it is unlikely that drastically different soil types will
be encountered during excavation for founoations, the possibility
exists that intermediate variations between several of the soil
types outlined here could be encountered.
It must, therefore, be recommended
that the open foundation excavation be inspected prior to Lhe
placing of forms to establish the appropriate design parameters
for each individual building lot. Further exploration on a 1ot
to lot basis may be warranted. At the time of inspection or
further investigation, the maximum and minimum bearing values can
be established and recommendations made as to the suitable foun-
dation type for that particular 1ot. Also, this inspection will
ensure that no debris, soft spots, or areas of unusually low den-
sity are located within the foundation region. Any changes in
the recommendations included in this report can easily be made at
the time of such inspection.

If it is desirable to design the
foundation systems for several standard model residences which
are planned for this development, some preliminary design parame-
ters could possibly be used. Based upon the results of our
exploration Program, it would aPpear that the engineering charac-
teristics of the soils encountered during drilling can be divided
into three grouPs for purposes of preliminary design. The first
group would consist of the high density, expansive clays.
Foundations resting on these materials may be designed for a
maximum bearing value of 3OO0 psf and a minimum of 1600 psf'
Although most of the optional foundations could be used for this
condition, this laboratory would recommend the second option. The
second grouP would be those foundations resting on the very low
density, comPressible clays. These foundations would be propor-
tioned on the basis of a 1000 psf maximum bearing and no minimum.
Although most of the optional foundations could be used to fit this
condition, this Iaboratory would recommend the first or third
option. The last group, foundations resting on either gravel or
silt, could be proportioned on the basis of a 3ooo psf maximum with
no minimum being required. Standard spread footings would be most
practical for this condition. These design values should be
interpreted as preliminary in nature only. Again, tss mentioned
earlier, basements are not recommended on this site.
Regardless of the tyPe of foundation
system used on this site, it is recommended that all stem walls,
both along the perimeter of the building and beneath aII internal
load bearing walls, be designed as graOe beams capable of
spanning at least 10 feet or the distance from pad to pad or pier

to pier, if these foundation configurations are used. This rein-
forcing will help make the structure somewhat more rigid and will
tend to spread the loads more evenly around the building.
Horizontal reinforcement should be placed continuously around the
structure with no gaps or breaks in the reinforcing steel unless
they are specially designed. Diagonal reinforcing should be used
at all steps in the foundation waIl. Beams should be reinforced
at both top and bottom. Where foundations will rest on or near
the expansive claysr w€ would recommend placing the majority of
the reinforcement near the top of the wall.
Again, regardless of the foundation
type used, it is recommended that the foundation components be
balanced to lower the possibility of differential movement. This
balancing will help the buildings move more or less as single
units, rather than in a differential manner. The foundation
system should be proportioned such that the pressure on the soil
is approximately the same throughout the building. The judicious
use of voids beneath very light walls will help balance the
structure, as well as to develop the minimum design pressures
dictated by the expansive cIays. Using the criterion of dead
load plus approximately one-half the live load, the contact
pressures should be balanced to within +300 psf beneath all load
bearing walls throughout the residential units. For the sandier
soils, isolated interior column pads should be designed for
pressures of slightly less than the average selected for the
bearing walls. On the clays, isolated pads should be designed
for pressures of slightly more than the exterior wa1I average.
Using whichever criterion is applicabler w€ would recommend

constructed to act independently of the other structural portions
of the building. These floor slabs should contain deep construc-
tion or contraction joints to facilitate even breakage and to
help minimize any unsightty cracking which could result from dif-
ferential movement. Floor slabs on grade should be placed in
sections no greater than 20 feet on a side. Prior to
constructing slabs on grade, all existing topsoil and organics
must be removed from the building interior. Likewise, all foun-
dations must penetrate the topsoil layer.
A compacted gravel laYer of 4 to 6
inches in thickness would be recommended beneath a1I slabs on
grade. this gravel layer would act as a capillary break. A
vapor barrier is recommended beneath all slabs on grade.
Any interior non-load bearing par-
titions which wiII be constructed to rest on the floor slab
should be constructed with a space of t\ inches at either the top
or the bottom of the wall, when the slabs wiII rest on the silty
clays of SoiI Type No. 1. This space will allow for future
expansion of the clays while preventing damage to the wall and
floor section above.
The existing drainage in the area
must either be maintaineci or improved. Water should be drained
away from the structures as rapidly as possible and should not be
allowed to stand or pond in the area of the buildings. The sur-
face drainage across the entire subdivision must be carefully

controlled to prevent infiltration and saturation of the foun-
dation soils. The overall grading plan must be designed such
that water removed from one building is not directed into the
backfilled areas of an adjacent structure'
To give the building extra lateral
stabitity and to aid in the rapidity of runoff, all backfill
around the building and in ut,ility trenches in the vicinity of
the structure should be compacted to at least 9Ot of its maximum
proctor dry density, AsTIt{ D-698. The native materials encoun-
tered on this site may be used for backfilling purposes, if so
desired. AlI backfill must be compacted to the required density
by mechanical means. No water flooding techniques of any type
shouldbeusedintheplacementoffitlonthissite.
A subsurface PeriPheral drain'
includinganadequategravelcollector,sandfilterandper-
forated drain pipe, should be constructed around the outside of
each struct,ure at foundation level. Dry wells should not be used
anywhere on this site. The discharge piPe should be given a free
gravityoutlettothegroundsurface.If''daylight'|iSnot
available, a sealed sump and pumP should be used'
As mentioned earlier, the low oensity
surface clays on site are very comPressible. should it be desired
to do some cut and fill work across the subdivision' it would not
be recommended that any more than 2 feet of fitl be placed on these
clays. If more than 2 feet of fiII is planned in any area' then a
consolidation study should be performed. this can be done at a
laterdateandaddedasanaddendumtothisreport.

Some of the claYier foundation
materials would be anticipated to contain sulfates in detrimental
quantities; therefore, a TyPe II Cement is recommended for use in
aII concrete which will be in contact with all clayey foundation
soils. Under no circumstances should calcium chloride ever be
added to a Type II Cement. In the event that a Type II Cement is
difficult to obtain, a Type I Cement may be substituted, but only
if it is protected from the soil by an impermeable membrane. A
Type I Cement can be used if foundations rest on the gravels only.
Treatment Plants:
At the present time, there is a water
treatment plan and a sewage treatment plant proposed for this
subdivision. The proposed water treatment plant site consists of
1.4 acres in the southeast corner of the subdivision, in the vici-
nity of Test pit No. 7. The proposed sewage treatment site is to
occupy approximately 3 acres on the west end of the subdivision,
approximately between Test Pits No. 1 and 2. We understand that at
this time these locations are only tentative.
As a very preliminary bearing value
for the two treatment plants, a 3000 psf maximum could be used with
no minimum, providing that the foundations rest entirely on the gra-
vel of Soil Type No. 3. However, when the location and oesign of
the treatment plants becomes final, it must be strongly recommended
that a further subsuriace soils investigation be done. At that
time, recommendations, design bearing values, and permeability
values can be given.
It is believed that all Pertinent
points concerning the subsurface soils on this site have been

covered in this report. If soil types and conditions other than
those outlined herein are noted during construction on the site,
these should be reported to Lincoln-Devore so that changes in
recommendations can be made, if necessary. If questions arise or
further information is required, please feel free to contact
Lincoln-Devore at any time.

GARFIELD DMINAGE BASIN
I NTRODUCT I ON
This report documents and analyzes the present water rights
situation for the Hilton Ranch, which is located in the Garfield Creek
drainage basin, southwest of New Castle, Colorado. The report concen-
trates on the Hilton water rights, analyzes the entire basin, and compares
the Hilton rights to the other rights within the basin. ln order to
evaluate the water rights situation properly, the entire Garfield basin
hydrology and land use pattern must be understood. This first Section
provides the background necessary to evaluate the water resources/water
rights scenerio on Garfield Creek. This report and the attached map is
intended to be used as a water resource management tool and as a graphic
aid in water resource planning for the ranch.
0ur investigations and studies for this report have included the
fol lowing:
l. A review of all of the decrees for water rights in the Garfield
drainage basin;

GARFIELD CREEK HYDROLOGY
The headwaters of Garfield Creek begin on the slopes of Sunl ight
Peak and Bald Mountain, about I0 miles southwest of Glenwood Springs.
From the basin's headwaters above I0,000 feet many small creeks, spFings,
and gulches come together to form Baldy Creek and East Garfield Creek.
About 7 miles below the headwaters is the junction of these two main
streams, which form main Garfield Creek. Garfield Creek flows 5 mi les
to its confluence with the Colorado River, o point 2 miles southwest
of New Castle, Colorado. Baldy Creek has a tributary drainage area of
about 23 square miles, East Garfield Creek has about 2l square miles of
tributary area, and the total tributary area at the Colorado River is
approximately l0 square miles. 75% of the basin is privately owned and
25'4 is controlled by the Bureau of Land Management. Most of the basin
is classified as grazing land according to the U.S. Department of Agri-
cu I ture.
The Hilton Ranchcontains approximately !lll acres of land ( l5 square
mi les) in the Garfield drainage. The Hi lton Ranch comprises about
3OZ of the 50 square mile basin and/or about \O% of the 38 square
mi les of private land in the Garfield Drainage Basin.
The surface geology of Garfield Creek consists of the tertiary
(paleocene) Wasatch Formation, which is composed of conglomerate sand-
stone, siltstone, whitestone and shale.
There are currently no stream gaging stations in the Garfield
Creek drainage. From October, 1955, through September, 1961, a stream
gage was located on Baldy Creek about 4 miles upstream from its con-
fluence with East Garfield Creek. A monthly summary of the stream flow
3
records are shown in Table I During the 6 years of recordsthe maximum
discharge of 242 cfs was recorded on June 2, 1957. During most years
there was minimal or no flow from August through February. lt can be
assumed that East Garfield Creek would have water yield characteristics
similar to Baldy Creek, with over 85% of the runoff during the months
of May and June, and another B% of the runoff in April. Assuming that the
winter runoff and the entire Garfield drainage is similar to Baldy Creek,
during the average year Garfield Creek would yield about l2,OOO Acre Feet
(dry year yield about 5,000 AF). Baldy is reported to yield more flow in
the spring than East Garfield but usually pinches out sooner.
The average annual precipitation in the higher elevations is 30 inches
in the lower elevations is 12 inches. ln the upper areas approximately
two thirds of the precipitation is snow. The annual precipitation in
the total Garfield Creek basin is between 50,000 and 60,000 Acre Feet, of
which about 20% becomes runoff.
Garfield Creek is a marginal physical water supply for even the
earliest water rights in the basin. There is not a major water storage
reservoir in the basin that can hold spring runoff until the late summer
and fall months when the creek normally dries up and when the irrigation
dsnand is the highest. There is enough water for crops during the spring
and early summer, but by fall few of the irrigated lands receive a full
supply of water. Virtually all of the water that does reach the creek
is diverted and applied as irrigation water to hay crops in the area.
Because of the return flow of irrigation water during the late
summer and fall, flows of Garfield Creek are artificially maintained.
,lt is our opinion that if irrigation in the basin ceased, flows in

lower Garfield Creek would dry up earlier in the summer than they do now.
There are two decreed junior transbasin rights which divert approximately
550 acre feet of water in an average year, (none in a dry year) out of the
basin. None of this water becomes return flow to the creek. These rights
are discussed in detail in the Water Rights section of this report. There
is believed to be a third unadjudicated transbasin diversion system located
upstream of the Sykes and Alvord ditch which collects water which is
normally tributary to Garfield Creek. This collected water is put into the
Sykes and Alvord ditch downstream of the ditchrs measuring device. Presumably
a portion of this water is diverted by the Sykes and Alvord ditch into the
Alkal i drainage basin.
Approximately 1770 acres of land is irrigated by Garfield Creek water.
0f this amount, the Hilton Ranch irrigated over half of all the irrigated
land in the basin.
Even the very early decreed water rights in Garfield Creek do not yield
enough water to irrigate for a full season. There are 100 cfs of decreed
water rights in Garfield Creek and the physical flow rarely exceeds 75 cfs.
For this reason Garfield Creek appears to be over-appropriated. 0f the early
ttgoodrr water rights in the basin, the Hi lton Ranch controls approximately
two th i rds.

"transferred" direct flow rights to a storage right or by an
'rexchangerr out of the Colorado River.
It is our opinion that flood waters would not be a reliable water
supply to fill a reservoir in Garfield Creek. Likewise, a winter diversion
would be of Iittle value since the flow is often non-existent.
By court action, a senior direct flow irrigation water right can be
transferred to the reservoir. This would involve two phases: cessation
of irrigation, and transfer of the historic consumptive use of the water
on the Iand to the reservoir. Once the water is in the reservoir, it
can be used for any beneficial purpose.
Another method of filling the reservoir is by exchange. This would
involve pumping water from the Colorado River to the lower ditches on
Garfield Creek (Moore, Hudson s Sul I ivan, and Harrington ditches), with
the agreement that the upstream reservoir would divert and store the water
that would have normally gone to the ditches being augmented out of the
Colorado Ri ver.
There are no readi ly apparent rrideal" reservoir sites for irrigation
purposes on the Hilton Ranch. There issomepotential foranonstreamreservoirsr Garfield
Creek near the Starbuck and Paxton headgate. This site would probably not
hold more than 500 Acre Feet, would be expensive and could only serve the
Hudson and Sullivan and the Starbuck and Paxton Ditches.
There also appears to be some reservoir potential in the gullies
north of East Garfield Creek in Section 29 and 30 which are not rrow con-
trol led by the H i I ton Ranch.
Before a reservoir can be built there must be extensive geological
jnvestigation and preplanning. For this report no geologic or soil inves-
tigation has been made.

lRRt GATI0N WATER REQUTREMENTS
I rrigation water requi rements depend upon local cl imatic conditions,
soil characterisitics, topography, type of irrigation practice (u.g.
sprinklers, contour ditch, sub-irrigation, flooding, etc.), and many
other factors. The normal growing season for agricultural crops in
the Garfield Creek basin is from May through September although in some years
killing frosts do not occur from early April until late 0ctober. ln the past
there has been a variety of crops grown in the basin, including potatoes
and grain. currently, the vast majority of the irrigation is for hay,
al fa I fa, and pasture lands.
Some of the irrigation water applied to the land returns to the stream
system. The remaining amount of the water that does not return to the
stream system is evapotranspired to the atmosphere and is considered to
be consumptively used. The value of the water right is directly proportional
to its historic consumptive use.
A number of empirical methods of estimating consumptive use of
irrigation water requirements have been developed; the Blaney-Criddle
method being the most widely recognized. This method has been accepted
as the method for computing consumptive use in numerous court cases in
western Colorado.
The BIaney-Criddle method is used in this report for calculating the
consumptive use of irrigated crops in the Garfield basin.
The nearest representative U.S. weather station is located at Rifle
which is l3 miles west of the Garfield drainage basin. Table 2 presents
the mean monthly precipitation and temperatures for an average year.
Table 3 presents the monthly irrigation consumptive use for hay
crops in the Garfield drainage for average and dry years. Also included
in the table are the monthly irrigation water requirements based on an
irrigation efficiency of l+O"a, i.e. 6O% of the water applied is returned
to the stream system and 4O% is evapotranspired.
Alfalfa has a 20% higher consumptive use than a hay crop. Lawn
irrigation requirements are similar to those of a hay crop.
The above consumptive use figures are to be used only when there is an
adequate supply of irrigation water. The consumptive use values and
irrigation requirements in Table 3 are over and above the natural
precipitation that is expected to occur in an average and dry year.
lrrigation efficiency in the Garfield drainage probably varies from l0%
to 50% depending on availability of water, type of soil and skill of the
i rrigator.
Appendix A presents the Blaney-Criddle calculations used in this
report.

WATER RIGHTS ANALYSIS
I NTRODUCT I ON
This Section tabulates and analyzes all of the decreed water rights
in the Garfield Drainage. Each ditch is described individual ly. ln the
back of this report is a large map which shows most of the Garfield Creek
ditches, the points of diversion, and the Iands which they irrigate. This
frstraight I ine diagram" is superimposed upon the U.S.G.S. 7+' topo-
graphic maps of the area on a scrale of I inch equals 2,000 feet.
Besides the physical location of the ditches and the irrigated land,
this Section defines the water avai labi I ity, historic use, and consumptive
use of each of the ditches associated with the Hilton Ranch.
Lands in the Garfit id drainage have been intensively i rrigated since
the late 1800's. Most of the land irrigated is concentrated in the
area from the confluence of the Colorado River up to where the county road
crosses Baldy Creek.Until recently there were numerous small
farms irrigated with their own irrigation systems. ln recent years many
of the smal I farms have been consol idated. Normal ly, the consol idation of
many small ranches can facilitate a more optimum water resource system:
e.g. the combination of many small ditches into one large irrigation
system, which would be easier to manage and make the water use more
efficient. To date, no consol idation of irrigation systems has been
a t tempted .

According to the 0ctober 10, 197q, State Engineerrs water rights
tabulation, almost 7O separate water rights have been adjudicated to
about 3 dozen ditches in the basin over the last 90 years. The first
l2 water rights (totaling about 2l cfs) were decreed in the original
adjudication for Garfield Creek on l'lay l, I888.
There is not enough natural flow in Garfield Creek to

From an administrative point of view, Garfield Creek has been
internal ly control led. Thi s means that water rights outside of Garfield
Basin (specifically, on the Colorado River) do not call out or shut
down any diversions in Garfield creek drainage. The reasons for this
a re:
Garfield Creek is a poor yielding basin;
When major calls are put on the Colorado River, the dates of those
are junior to the senior rights in Garfield Creek that are not
being satisfied. ln other words, doy ditches that are shut down
in Garfield Creek are shut down because of the calls of other
senior rights on Garfield Creek and not because of other senior
rights downstream on the Colorado River.
It is our opinion Garf ield Creek wi I I always be internal ly control led
and never receive a water call from outside of its own basin. This means
that no matter what is done with the senior rights in Garfield Creek, no
injury can occur to others outside of the Basin. Thus, no out-of-basin

interest can claim an injury to his water rights due to the activities
within the Garfield Creek Basin. Any change in the Hilton water right
portfolio in Garfield Creek should not have any serious protestors from
outside the basin. Any change in the water rights must be made in such a
manner and under such conditions that no junior or senior water rights
within Garfield Creek basin would be injurecl.
There are three ditches that divert water out of Garfleld drainage.
Qne is the Fairview Mesa Ditch, constructed in the early I940's to divert
the spring runoff flows to Fairview Mesa, which drains into Divide Creek.
From 1960 through 1975 it has diverted an average of 123 Acre Feet from
Baldy Creek, and then only for an average of 27 days normally in May and
early June, even though it is decreed for a l0 cfs flow. ln 1963 and
1972 this ditch did not divert any water.
The second ditch is the Sykes and Alyord Ditch, which has historically
diverted an average of 434 Acre Feet of water (tg0O-1975) to Alkali
Creek drainage and to the South Canyon drairrage via Porter Reservoir
(Section 15, T 6 S, R 90 W. ln 1963 tne Sykes and Alvord Ditch was reported
to have diverted l.B Acre Feet. (-See page 5 for descriptlon of th.e third ditctr)
Table lt I ists water rights in Garfield Creek decreed through
1965. Table 5 presents a tabulation of the ditches diverting from
Garfield Creek. Note that each ditch may have more than one decreed right.
This Table also tabulates the irrigated acreages under the ditches irrigating
the Hilton Ranch.
The original adjudication for Water District 45 often decreed the
rights in terms of "cubic feet per minute'r. For this report all the
rates of flow have been converted tortcubic feet per secondrror "cfs".

The original adjudicatlon also refers to a duty of water tn the ratio of
rt50 cubic feet of water per minute to 50 acresrr.
There is some question concerning relative priorities in Water
District 45. ln several cases the priority numbers assigned by the court
do not coincide with the recent tabulations developed by the State
Engineerrs off ice which has fol lowed the rtnormal" rule which places rights
with later adjudication dates (regardless of appropriation date,) junIor
to all previously adjudicated rights. For example, the Rineberger and Lake
Ditch (Priority 53n) is Iisted by the Engineer as being junior to the Cooley
Ditches (eriority 109). The basic question is whether the 1893 decree for
the Cooley Ditch was part of the 1903 general adjudication proceeding.
Table 4 lists the rights according to court priority. The exception being
the domestic rights which are placed according to appropriation date.
HISTORIC CONSUMPTIVE USE
Table 5 defines our estimated percent of full water supply for each of
the Hilton ditches. The available percent of full water supply is cal-
culated as follows: (1) The total number of acre feet diverted during
the irrigation season is divided by the number of irrigated acres. The
result is divided by the annual unit requirement; e.g. 5.725 Af/Ac for a
field with 70% alfalfa and 302 pasture grass for an average year yielding
the available percent of full water supply. (Z) The total number of days that
water was diverted during the irrigation season is divided by 100 to obtain
the available percent of full water supply based on a 100-day minimum
irrigation season necessary for a full supply. (3) The lower percent of the
above calculations is used as the controlling factor in determining the
p'ercent water supply. l
18b
Table 6 presents the estimated historic irrigation consumptive
use attributed to the Hilton Ranch under each ditch for an average and
dry year. ln the average year, the ranchts 875 acres of irrigated land
burns up about 1210 acre feet of irrigation water. ln a year of low water
yield the estimated consumptive use is 977 acre feet.

A portion of the second enlargement was originally decreed conditional.
Subsequent court actions has made the entire 4.00 cfs absolute.
The Murray and Yule Ditch diverted an average of about 1r4!0 acre
feet a year in a 136-day irrigation season which begins in late April or
early May and extends into August or September
ln recent years the diversions have continued u n til late in September.
The water commissionerrs records show that there were 410 acres of land
i rrigated in recent years by this ditch. 0ur analysi s and measurements
indicate that500 acres have been and are currently being irrigated by
the Murray and Yule Ditch, 330 of these acres L66%) are on Hllton land.
The Hilton Ranch clains 2/3 interest in all waters in the Murray and
Yule Ditch. The headgate consists of a 3 foot sluice gate and has a
3 foot Parshall flume. About 3,000 feet below the headgate a splitter
box divides the water into 3 equal laterals. The right diversion turns
east and serves the Larson Ranch. The other 2 diversions are used to
serve Hi lton Lands. At times of high vrater Dwire Ditch tailwater mingles
2A
with the Murray and Yule water to irrigate lands in Section 25. The
physical water available to Murray and Yule Ditch can be analyzed from
Table I in this report, which is flow data collected from the gaging
station located just above the headgate of the ditch. lt should be
noted that the average July, August, and september flows for the years
1956 through I!61 were 1.54, .24, and .Zl cfs respectively. The Hurray
and Yule Ditch has the right to dry up the creek with its first right
during the critical irrigation season. Even though it is the No. I ditch,
it does not have the sufficient physical water supply to provide full
irrigation supply to the land it irrigates. we estimate that the
acres of irrigated land under this ditch receive only about 5l % of the
irrigation water that it needs to sustain full production in an average
year and 55% in a year of low water supply.
This is the most valuable water right in the Hilton water rights
portfolio which yield about 385 Acre Feet of consumptive use in an average
year and about A0B Acre Feet in a year of low water supply.

which produce about 3 tons of hay per acre/per year. There is normally
enough return flows in Garfield Creek to satisfy the physical diversion
needs of the Moore Ditch. The return flows come from springs in the creek
and from return flow from the Hudson and Sullivan Ditch.

The right

between the ditch and the road. The left lateral is owned and controlled
by Ragle and diverts water to irrigate land in the I'lortheast corner of
Section 27. lt is also used to fill the Ragle pond in the same quarter.
This pond is also filled from natural drainage and water from Yule and
Cooley Ditch.
The state Engineer has requested that Hilton and Ragle install a
22
single Parshall flume just below the headgate so that his office can
properly administer the ditch.
Sixty-five acres of Iand in the Hilton Ranch are served by this
ditch alone. Ragle can irrigate much of his land under the Dow Ditch.
However, Ragle also uses Yule and Cooley water to irrigate the same land.
Supplemental water is added from the Ward, Dow and Taylor Ditch (East
Garfield Creek) during times of high flow.
HARRI NGTON D ITCH
The entire Harrington Ditch water right is a transfer of .25 cfs
from the first enlargement of the Moore Ditch. (priority 14 - total
decree of 1.58 cfs).
This is a right bank diversion out of Garfield Creek approximately
* mile above the Creek's confluence with the Colorado River. This ditch
irrigates land between the county road and the Colorado River northeast of
Garfield Creek. According to the transfer decree the Harrington irrigates
72.5 acres of land. The Harrington Ditch has not called out other junior
water rights because it normally receives a full physical supply from the
return flow from irrigation upstream. This ditch is believed owned by Mr.
Brannan. lt is believed that Mr. Brannan also owns 3 cfm in the Moore
D i tch.

Forty-Six percent of each of the ditch rights was owned by Mr. Farris,
who uses the water on his farm in Section 15. The ditch crosses under
the County road in a 2 foot culvert. lt is our opinion that through most
of the length of the ditch the flood right for 8.67 cfs cannot be carried
within the ditch.
This is the only major ditch diverting from Garfield Creek below the
confluence of Garfield Creek and Baldy Creek. From 1955 through 1975
the ditch diverted an average of l0B0 acre feet a year in a 150-day irriga-
tion season which began in March and ended in late August. Analysis of
aerial photographs indicated that a total of about 210 acres are irrigated
under the Hudson and Sullivan Ditch with about 75 acres located on the
former Farris Ranch.

I^'ARD. DOV'. AND TAYLOR D ITCH
This ditch is the ,'No.2 " ditch on the east branch of Garfield Creek.
tt cannot be called out by any ditches diverting on Baldy Creek' 0nly the
Hudson and SulIivan Ditch is ever Iikely to put a calI on the Ward, Dow, and
Taylor Ditch. This ditch diverts from the Ieft bank of Garfield Creek
at a point on the range line between Section 25, and 30'
The Ward, Dow, and Taylor Ditch has one decree (priority 54) for
2.08 cfs with an appropriation date of May 25, 1886 and an adjudication
date of May 5, 1888. The original decree refers to 12 acres being
irrigated by the f irst l5 cfm (,Z5 cf ,) with the remaining 110 cfm (-t '83 cf s)
allocated at I cfs per 50 acres. lt appears that the original decree
allowed this water to be used on 104 acres.

trProvided, however that the lands lying under the said Ward, Dow and
Taylor Ditch, and likewise under the Dow Ditch, shall only receive water in
said amount as there shall be deficiency in delivery of water to the same
lands from waters decreed to the Dow Ditch.'r The State Engineer's Office
(Ray Walker), has told Wright Water Engineers that they will accept the
practice of putting Ward, Dow, and Taylor Ditch water in Baldy Creek and
have it rediverted into the Dow Ditch as long as the water was measured
into Baldy and measured again as it was diverted out. ln the past there
have been some problems on whether this practice was acceptable to the
other water diverters in the basin. The Hilton Ranch owns at least two-
thirds of this right.
From 1965'1975 the Ward, Dow, and Taylor Ditch diverted about 153
acre feet of water in a 55-day irrigation season. Recently the commissioners
reported that the ditch irrigates 200 acres of Iand. Water from the
Joe Taylor Ditch supplements the Ward, Dow, and Taylor supply on the Hilton
I ands .
tt is our belief that this ditch would be able to divert much more
water than it historically has if (a) upstream juniors are strictly
administered, (U) if the call from Hudson and Sullivan Ditch were
reduced by an overall Hilton Ranch water management plan, and (c) if
the right is not curtailed on the basis of available flow in Baldy Creek.

Ditch No. 3, the lower ditch,does not have a headgate nor does it
have a Parshall flume. Ditch No. 2 has a 2 foot wide slidegate set in
concrete. 325 feet below the point of diversion is.a one{oot Parshal I
f lume. Ditch No. l, the upper, or most souther'ly ditch, has a 2-foot
slidegate set in concretewith aonrfoot Parshall Flume 150 feet below
the diversion point. The three di tches have recently i rrigated about
45 acres of land. These ditche: s:rye slne:f the h[ghest yield[ng
fields on the Hilton Ranch. The land now served by these ditches could
easily be irrigated out of the Yule and cooley Ditch.. Howeyer, one of
the physical advantages of the Cooley Ditches ls that they are able to pick
gp return flow from fields irrigated in Section 25 where the yule and
Cooley could not physically re-use this return flow.

Iess than a half mile above the Hilton Ranch. Both of these ditches
have I94l flood rights -- Rineberger Lake for .76 cfs and Lake Ditch
for .32 cfs. The I950 - 1975 water commissioner's records show the

The Dwire Springs No. I Ditch and the Dwire Springs No. 2 Ditch
have been administered as a single ditch for many years which diverts from
the east bank of Baldy Creek above the Murray and Yule headgate. The
land originally irrigated by the Dwire Ditches was probably on both
sides of Baldy Creek.
Priority llB is assigned to both rights with an appropriation date
of 6/16/1906 with 11/14/ I!10 as the adjudication date. The combined
maximum decree for both ditches is l.48 cfs. (priority l3BA).

Below the headgate a splitter box divides the ditch flow into two
equal amounts. The Iower (right hand) ditch belongs to Hilton and
irrigates 70 acres of land in the Northeast * of section 26. Hilton
also diverts water out of this ditch to fill 2 small stock ponds located
in the East * of Section 27. These ponds are filled byan 8,000 foot
long ditch at about the 6,600 foot elevation. A third pond located in
NE+ SW+ of Section 26 is also filled by the ditch. lt appears that this
ditch has a high seepage rate and does not fill the ponds efficiently.
ln September, 1976, the upper or southern stock pond was dry.
It was about 50 feet in diameter and most of its original capacity has
been negated due to silting. The lower, or nothern pond, was 120 feet
3l
long by 30 feet wide and it did have several thousand gallons of water.
Ragle uses his share of the

This is one of the two transbasin ditches diverting out of the
Garfield Creek drainage. lt diverts from the left bank of Baldy Creek
about 5 miles above the confluence of Baldy Creek with East Garfield
Creek. The lands served by this ditch are West of Garfield Creek
and are tributary to Divide Creek.
The diversion was originally decreed on 5/29/l9ll for 26.4 cfs with
an appropriation date of l0l01/1906. This right was subsequently made
abandoned by the court due to protests by local Garfield Creek water users

appropriation date of B/01/1955 which it apparently diverts under now

AlI of the 1938 "flood rights" on Garfield Creek are senior to the Fairview
Hesa risht.
The commissionerts records show that the ditch diverted an average
of 123 Acre Feet during a 27-day period - usually in May and early
June. ln 1963 and 1972 the ditch did not divert any water. ln 1973
through 1975 the ditch diverted an average of over 250 Acre Feet in an
average of \2 days per year which may indicate an expanded usage -
even when not all downstream senior rights were fully satisfied.
GOPHER D ITCH
A map statement of the Gopher Ditch was filed with the State
Engineerts Office on \/13/1913 and assigned a filing number - 10088.

in the Southeast * of Section 2\.
This ditch is decreed for .22 cfs with an appropriation date of
\/12/1912 with an adjudication date of ll /10/1913 according to the
State Engi neerts tabulation.
The Gopher Ditch has not appeared in the fiela books since at least
1910. There is no readily apparent evidence of the ditch remaining.

None of these Young rights have been listed in the field books
