GARFIELD COUNTY
BUILDING AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT
FEE SCHEDULE
Garfield County, pursuant to Board of County Commissioners ("Board") Resolution No.
98-09, has established a fee structure ("Base Fee") for the processing of each type of
subdivision and land use applications.
The Base Fee is an estimate of the average number of hours of staff time devoted to
an application, multiplied by an hourly rate for the personnel involved. The Board
recognized that the subdivision and land use application processing time will vary and
that an applicant should pay for the total cost of the review which may require
additional billing. Hourly rates based on the hourly salary, and fringe benefits costs of
the respective positions combined with an hourly overhead cost for the office will be
used to establish the actual cost of County staff time devoted to the review of a
particular project.
Actual staff time spent will be charged against the Base Fee. After the Base Fee has
been expended, the applicant will be billed based on actual staff hours accrued. Any

1.0 Executive Summary
This report addresses the engineering requirements of the Garfield County Unified Land
Use Resolution, with respect to the Final Plat application for Elk Springs (fka Los Amigos
Ranch) Filings 6A, 8 — Phase 2, 9 and 10. Specific submittal requirements are identified in
Article V Divisions of Land 5-501 Application Materials for Division of Land Section E. Final
Plat 4.a. — h.
Elk Springs has completed construction of most of the infrastructure necessary to serve the
areas encompassed in these Final Plats. Filing 6A is directly accessed from CR 114. This
parcel will undergo the Preliminary/Final Plan process for site specific features and any re-
subdivision. As all of the other utilities are in place adjacent to the parcel, a new sanitary
sewer is the only proposed construction at this time.
All roads, utilities and drainage infrastructure are in place to serve Filing 8, Phase 2 and
Filing 9. The Kingbird Drive cul-de-sac, serving lots 79 and 80, is the only exception to this
in Filing 9. Filing 10 is a Rural Residential lot with access and utilities from CR 114. The
parcel will utilize an individual well and ISDS and no public improvements are proposed.
In addition to the respective Final Plats, this application includes the fallowing engineering
plan sets:
• Elk Springs Filings 8 — 9 Final Plat Submittal — these are the updated Preliminary
Plan drawings that Filing 8 and 9 infrastructure was constructed from. (Appendix A)
• Record Drawings Filings 8 and 9 - these are surveyed record drawings of the as -
constructed utilities with the Filings. (Appendix B)
• Kingbird Drive — these sheets are the design drawings for the infrastructure
necessary to serve the two new lots in Filing 9. (Appendix C)
• Filing 6A Neighborhood Commercial — these sheets show topography and sanitary
sewer design necessary to serve this parcel. (Appendix D)
The subject filings underwent the Garfield County Preliminary Plan review process in 1998
and Amendment in 1999. This engineering design presented in this Final Plat is consistent
with the Preliminary Plan Filings 6 —10 and 1999 Amendment. Applicable reports from
those applications are included in the Appendices.
2,0 5treets, Trails Walkways and Bikeways
With the exception of Kingbird Drive cul-de-sac, all roads associated with this application
have been constructed in accordance with the Preliminary Plan approval and as shown in
the plans provided. In general, the Filing 8 and 9 roads are chip sealed wit two 11' lanes and
gravel shoulders. Road grades are < 6% and were designed to fit into the natural
topography with minimal disturbance. Preliminary Plan Exhibit D described roadway
classification and design and is included in its entirety here as Appendix E.
Separate trails, walkways and bikeways are not proposed as "hard" construction. However,
the Final Plats do provide easements that allow for non -motorized travel and access to open
1
Elk Springs/ Los Anugos Rancn November 2010
space areas. The low density and rural nature of the development allows the roads to be
safely used to access these easements.
3.0 Drainage
Drainage features on Elks Springs consist primarily of roadside ditches and cross culverts.
The low density of the development allowed natural drainage patterns to be maintained.
Runoff rates and volumes are comparatively low due to good vegetative cover and
predominant Hydrologic Soil Group B soils having high infiltration capacity.
Again, all public drainage infra -structure necessary for these final plats is already
constructed. Refer to the Filings 8 — 9 drawings for locations, sizes, and details associated
with culverts, swales, etc.
The Preliminary Plan application included a detailed and comprehensive drainage report.
Again, that report is included in Appendix E.
4.0 Geologic Hazards
Elk Springs' geology was studied extensively. Applicable reports by Lincoln DeVore,
Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical Inc. and CTLfThompson Inc. from the Preliminary Plan
Exhibit E are included in Appendix F.
Of specific concern for this application are the faults and landslide areas in Filing 8, Phase
2. The conclusions reached are that the landslide area is ancient and now stable and the
large lot size will allow residential development as contemplated in areas away from the
faults.
5.0 Sewage Collection
Elk Springs is served by a central wastewater collection and treatment system operated by
the Spring Valley Sanitation District (SVSD). A network of existing gravity and low pressure
sewer lines collect sewage from individual lots throughout the development and route it to
the SVSD treatment facility. Such is the case for Filing 9. A new 8" gravity sanitary sewer will
be constructed for Filing 6A.
Individual Septic Disposal Systems will serve the Rural Residential lots of Filings 8, Phase 2
and Filing 10, These lots are very large, have suitable soils and ISDS's will provide a safe
and practical means of sewage disposal. Garfield County Resolution No. 99-102 specifically
approved the use of ISDS on these lots.
Appendix E contains extensive discussion on the Sanitary Sewage Disposal Plan.
6.0 Water 'Supply and Distribution
With the exception of Filing 16, all lots will be served by the existing central water system
owned by the Elk Springs Homeowners Association, Inc. and operated by the Red Canyon
2
Elk Springs/Los Amigos Ranch November 2010
Water Company. That central water system consists of a well field that pumps to a
chlorination facility and contact chamber before entering the transmission and distribution
network. That network consists of 10", 8" and 6" waterlines linking the 320,000 gallon East
Tank and the 150,000 gallon west tank.
Fire protection is provided by the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District. The District
advised on storage capacity and hydrant layout throughout the development.
Appendix E provides full details on the Water Supply Plan.
7.0 Soils
Appendix G contains soil information for the project taken from the USDA National
Resource Conservation District. This was submitted as Exhibit I with the 1998 Preliminary
application, Soils are generally well-suited for development in the areas proposed.
Appendix F provides a geotechnical analysis and provides specific recommendations,
8.0 Groundwater
Groundwater drainage is not a problematic issue in Elk Springs. No free water was
encountered in the 21 test pits ranging from 2' to 8' deep logged in the H -P Geotech Report
in Appendix F. Foundation drains are recommended as a precaution against locally
perched groundwater. Groundwater was not a significant issue in the construction of public
improvements or residences.
9.0 Erosion and Sediment Control
This report, in conjunction with the project plans contained in Appendices A — D, addresses
the requirements of 4-502 (C)(4).
There are no major water bodies with in the development. Existing drainage features consist
of roadside ditches, swales, culverts and detention ponds. Refer to Appendices A — D plans
for topography, grading and locations and sizes drainage elements. Appendix E contains
drainage calculations. Snow storage areas are immediately adjacent to the road within the
rights-of-way.
The Kingbird Drive cul-de-sac and Filing 6A sewer construction will require clearing and
grubbing and stockpiling of soil immediately adjacent to the construction within the rights-of-
way. The steepest adjacent grades on Kingbird are about 7 %. The sewer construction is
generally on existing grades of about 8 % while a short section will be installed on a 14%
grade. There are no steep grades greater than 20 % that will be disturbed. No temporary
roads are anticipated.
Construction of the Kingbird Drive cul-de-sac and Filing 6A sewer line will occur in the
spring, summer or fall of 2011. The construction period for each project is not expected to
exceed 30 days start to finish.
3
E k Springs/Los Amigos Ranch November 2010
The Kingbird Drive cul-de-sac receives virtually no runoff from adjacent area. No specific
erosion measures are proposed other than appropriate, good housekeeping measures, The
minimal runoff that could leave the construction area will flow as sheet flow and be filtered
across natural vegetated areas.
For the Filing 6A sewer construction, erosion control and best management practices will be
in place at the start of construction. As some tributary drainage area does exist, erosion logs
as shown on the plans will be installed to control any sediment laden runoff. Good
housekeeping measures will be expected and additional best management practices as
warranted by contractor operations will be utilized. Permanent stabilization will consist of
topsoiling, seeding and mulching. The erosion logs and any other controls will be left in
place until after vegetation is established.
The total cost of erosion control and permanent stabilization is expected to be less than
$3000. Refer to cost estimates presented in the next section of this report.
Total estimated disturbed area is about 16,850 sf for the Kingbird Drive construction and
about 17,000 sf for the Filing 6A sewer project. Adjacent areas at Kingbird are sage with
grass. Pinyon/Juniper with grass understory is adjacent to the Filing 6A sewerline while
much of the alignment is in the old CR 114 platform. Hydrologic Soil Group "B" soils
predominate and have high infiltration capacity resulting in lesser amounts of runoff.
These projects will not require a CDPHE Stormwater Management Plan for Construction
Activities as the resulting disturbance is well less than 1 acre in each case. As such,
separate signature blocks for erosion and sediment control are not provided,
10.0 Public Improvement Cost Estimates
Public Improvement cost estimates for the Kingbird Drive cul-de-sac in Filing 9, and the
extension of sewer to the Neighborhood Commercial lot in Filing 6A, together with
documentation of the actual cost of completed construction in Filings 8 and 9 are included in
Appendix H.

RE: Preliminary Plan Submission
Los Amigos Ranch - Filings 6 to 10
Dear Greg:
This letter is in support of a Preliminary Plan submission for Filings 6 to 10 of Los Amigos
Ranch PUD. Specifically, certain portions of Section 4:00 Preliminary Plan of the Garfield
County Subdivision Regulations, as further outlined below, are addressed.
This Preliminary Plan will consist of 168 single-family homes located immediately north and
west of existing prior filings of Los Amigos Ranch PUD. included will be four Rural Residential
lots in excess of 35 acres located generally in the southwest part of the project.
4:80 DRAINACQE PLAN
Attached hereto please find Los Amigos Ranch Preliminary Plat Drainage Report. The
methodology used is outlined in the attachment. The locations of drainage facilities are shown
on the Drainage Master Plan Sheet LAD and the various roadway plan & profile sheets of the
Preliminary Plan drawings.
There are no existing water courses or lakes on this property. Tributary areas are localized in
nature.
Because of the large size of the lots, any increase in historic flow rates from these filings will
be negligible. Downstream drainage facilities have already been sized as part of previous
submittals to account for the drainage from these filings. No adverse impacts from the
construction of these filings are anticipated from a drainage standpoint.
4:91 WATER SUPPLY PLAN
All of the lots proposed as part of this Preliminary Plan submission will be serviced by the
extension and improvements of the existing central water system. In the case of the Rural
Residential lots, alternative service with either individual wells or central water system
extension is proposed.
January 19, 1998
Mr. Greg Boecker
Page 2
Existing Water System
The existing system consists of two drilled wells, identified as Weil No, 5 and Well No. 6, a
320,000 gallon water tank, a control/chlorination building, numerous fire hydrants and a
distribution system consisting of 10", 8" and 6" piping which serves all previous filings within
Los Amigos Ranch PUD. Two pressure reducing valve (PRV) stations divide the system into
two pressure zones. The locations of the existing water system components are on the
Preliminary Plan Master Water Plan Sheet LAU-2.
Well No. 5 is a 5" steel cased well approximately 170 feet deep. The well has a static water
level of 80 feet and has been test pumped in the past to a total of 110 gpm with only a four
foot draw down. Estimated potential well capacity is estimated in excess of 300 gpm.
Well No. 6 is a 10" steel cased well with a total depth of approximately 260 feet. This well
has been test pumped in the past at 400 gpm.
Current combined well yield of these two wells is approximately 510 gpm with a total potential
yield in excess of 600 gpm.
The control/chlorination building contains the operating controls for the system. The required
30 -minute chlorine contact time is provided by 460 feet of 24" water main within the system.
The total volume contained within the piping is 10,800 gallons which provides more than 30
minutes of detention at the peak day pumping rate at build -out of the project of 233 gpm.
The water system is classified as a public water supply by the Colorado Department of Health.
Both the quality and bacteriological content of the water has consistently met all parameters
of the State of Colorado Primary Drinking Water System,
Water Requirements
Table 1 enclosed herein indicates the current water requirements for Los Amigos Ranch PUD
and the water requirements for Filings 6 to 10.
The water system will provide both in-house domestic use and outside lawn irrigation uses.
Average and peak day demands are calculated for both irrigation and non -irrigation seasons.
As noted in Table 1, the water system has been sized to include the service of the Residential
Rural tots, should they require service.
Proposed Water System Components
The proposed water system components to accommodate Filings 6-10 are shown on the
Preliminary Plan Master Water Plan Sheet LAU-2. New 10", 8" and 6" transmission and
distribution lines will be installed along with fire hydrants and 1" or 1 f2" water services for
each lot. A new 150,000 gallon steel water tank will be required in the western portion of the

project once development proceeds into Filing 9.
The CYBERNET computer model was used to calculate pressures and determine required line
sizes throughout the system. Fire flow demands, rather than peak hour demands, govern the
design of the system. Lines were sized with the goal of providing a fire flow of at least 500
gpm at 20 psi. This was achieved in all areas.
The fire hydrants were placed where they would benefit the most lots. The hydrant layout
shown on LAU-2 has been done consistent with discussions with the Carbondale and Rural
Fire Protection District.
Due to the large line sizes used, pressure differences that would occur under static conditions
and peak day demands are negligible. Assuming a mid -tank level, a maximum pressure of
about 135 psi would be observed in the lowest portion of Filing 8. Some low pressure levels
will occur on the Tots in the northeast portion of the project in the vicinity of the water tank.
The Water Master Plan Sheet LAU-2 indicates lots which fall above the elevation 7090/40 psi
line. The significance is that, depending on where the actual homesite is situated, individual
lot owners may wish to install a pump and pressure tank to obtain higher, in-house pressures.
One and one-half inch diameter water services are also recommended for these lots to
minimize the headloss that would occur from the water main to the house.
The attached report entitled, "Los Amigos Ranch Preliminary Plat, Filings 6-10, Water System
Calculations" contains a computer model schematic and results of the fire flow analysis.
Again, the maximum day pressures listed were virtually the same as the maximums observed
under static conditions. Separate fire flow runs are provided for an analysis of the complete
system with both tanks on line and "an east tank only" scenario which excludes Filing 9.
The existing 320,000 gallon east tank was over -sized to accommodate potential future filings.
Considering those areas east of Filing 9 and the water demands referenced in Table 1, the
minimum required tank volume can be calculated as follows:

Rural Residential Lots
For purposes of sizing the central water system, service to the four (4) Rural Residential lots
was assumed to be part of the water system.
Because of the size of these lots and their location relative to the remainder of the project and
the water system, this plan proposes as an alternative the ability to drill an individual welt on
each of these lots. With respect to the history of well development in this area, we have
reviewed records available from the District Engineer's Office and have talked to local well
drillers familiar with groundwater conditions. Wells have been variable with respect to well
depth and well yield. Generally, the wells have been completed in bedrock formations or in
the alluvial layers immediately above bedrock interfaces. Well yields are generally less than
10 gprn which would indicate intermediate storage between the well and the residence may
be required depending upon total well yield. We anticipate the water would be classified as
"hard", but that all Colorado Primary Drinking Water Standards will be met. Depending on the
degree of hardness, water softening may or may no be elected by the homeowner.
With respect to fire protection for these lots, it is proposed to provide a 2000 gallon cistern
with draft pipe for use by firefighting apparatus. This cistern would be located near the
residence and would be sited at the time that an architectural site plan is available for the
residential building construction.

4:92 SANITARY SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLAN
Existing Sanitary Disposal Facilities
Previously approved filings within the Los Amigos Ranch PUD are serviced by either individual
sewage disposal systems (ISDS) or a central wastewater treatment collection and treatment
system operated by the Spring Valley Sanitation District (SVSD). Those portions of the PUD
serviced by SVSD are properties which generally lie within the Spring Valley aquifer drainage
and can be serviced by gravity collection sewerlines. The approximate boundaries of the
Spring Valley aquifer have been established during prior approvals.
Lots With Central Sewage System
This application does not request Preliminary Plan approved for any residential or commercial
lots which are within the SVSD or the western boundary of the Spring Valley aquifer.
Residential Lots With ISDS
Referencing the geotechnic report prepared by Hepworth-Pawlak included in this application,
there have been nine percolation tests conducted throughout the filing. The percolation test
results range from 11 minutes per inch to 40 minutes per inch. These percolation rates are
indicative of subsurface conditions which are acceptable for ISDS to be constructed. The
percolation tests were run at locations and in site soils conditions that are representative of
the overall conditions throughout the project.
Additionally, there are ten (10) units within the existing Los Amigos Ranch PUD which have
installed and are using ISDS for sewage service. To the best of our knowledge, adequate
percolation and subsurface conditions were found at all these sites and standard ISDS
utilization.
Environmental and Health Impacts Analysis
Garfield County Sewage Disposal Regulations which, in turn, are based on the "Guidelines on
Individual Sewage Disposal Systems", Colorado Department of Health, set forth the conditions
and regulations under which the County and the State of Colorado have determined are
appropriate to the construction of ISDS. These regulations are very comprehensive with
respect to site characteristics which determine the type and size of the system which can be
constructed. Those regulations recognize the ability of a soil matrix to provide the necessary
treatment to septic tank effluent such that, once the effluent passes through the soil matrix,
the treated effluent does not pose a public health hazard or risk. The regulations further
address the potential for cumulative impact of ISDS systems by specifying the minimum lot
sizes that should be utilized for 'ISDS systems.
ISDS technology recognizes that there are certain instances where there are inherent restraints
to the use of ISDS's. These restraints include high groundwater table, underlying bedrock
formations, inadequate percolation rate, horizontal separation from wells and water courses,

and excessive percolation rate. Whenever any of these restraints exist, the regulations require
that they be identified and that the system installed when restraints occur, be designed under
the direction of a registered professional engineer in the State of Colorado.
A "standard" ISDS system, typically consists of a septic tank and leach field. In order to use
a standard ISDS, the underlying soil matrix should demonstrate percolation rates within
acceptable defined limits and there should be identified no restraints to the installation of the
system. As stated above, all systems currently installed within the Los Amigos Ranch PUD
are standard systems, with acceptable percolation rates existing and no restraints to
construction identified. Based upon data now available, it is anticipated that for Filings 6-10,
that the majority of 1505 systems that will be installed will be standard systems. In those
cases, percolation tests and profile holes will be excavated at the location and depth of the
proposed leach field at each individual building site in accordance with Garfield County
regulations. The results of those tests will be analyzed and the system design based on
percolation rate and size of residence.
It is anticipated, that any restraints that may be encountered in the area encompassed by
Filings 6-10, they will be associated with shallow bedrock formations. In the event that such
conditions are identified at an individual residence location, it will be necessary to construct
an engineered system. The regulations require there be a minimum of four feet of soil matrix
between the bottom of the leach field and the bedrock restraint. In the event there is.
insufficient soil matrix available, then the existing soil matrix will need to be augmented with
imported materials such that the minimum four -foot depth exists. This type of construction
is typically referred to as a "mound system" and is a construction technique that is standard
to the industry and has been used in Garfield County where shallow restraints such as bedrock
or groundwater have been encountered. The mound system is designed with the soil materials
to be used for its construction as well as the size of the residence taken into account. The
resulting installation, consistent with both Garfield County and State regulations, results in a
system which provides for treated effluent being discharged through the bottom of the leach
field.
Although not anticipated, there is the possibility that under the applicable regulations the
restraints on a particular building site will preclude the use of a standard or mound system
using a percolation process. In these instances, it may be necessary to construct an
evapotranspiration (FT) type of system. An ET system does not use percolation as a disposal
means but, rather, uses evaporation and transpiration for disposal. These systems are
typically lined with an iimpervious liner and size based on the size of the residence and
background climatic conditions. Again, these systems are standard to the industry and their
design and operation is well documented.
It is our opinion that there is strong likelihood that a standard septic tank/leach field system
can be utilized as the ISDS for these lots. The most likely restraints to the development of a
standard system would be shallow bedrock conditions. In the event any restraint is identified,
it is our further opinion that an engineered system, either a mound -type system or an

evapotranspiration (ET) system could be constructed on the lot and satisfy all applicable
regulations. Consistent with standard practices of the Environmental Health Department of
Garfield County, percolation tests and a profile hole will be required on each lot at the exact
location of the !SDS at the time that a building permit is requested. At that time, a final design
for the ISDS will be required.
Filings 6-10 comprise a total land area of approximately 75 million square feet or 1725 acres.
The filings stretch for approximately 13,000 lineal feet along a line roughly parallel with the
Roaring Fork drainage basin located, on average, approximately 900 to 1000 feet in elevation
below the site. The overall density of ISDS on the site is approximately one system per 10
acres. This density is over 10 times less than the allowable density of one -acre lots where an
ISDS and central water system provide service, as in the case of the Los Amigos Ranch PUD,
and over five times less than the allowable density of two acre Tots where individual lots are
served with ISDS and an individual drilled well. Both the Garfield County regulations and the
State Health Department regulations have been based upon accepted scientific standards of
the industry which protect against any possibility of any environmental impacts affecting
public safety.
In conclusion, it is our opinion that ISDS can be constructed for all the proposed lots within
Filings 6-10 of the Los Amigos Ranch PUD that meet applicable Garfield County and Colorado
Department of Health standards of construction and design. If these systems are constructed
and designed in accordance with these regulations, then there will be no adverse
environmental or health impacts from the use of ISDS as proposed.
Attached to this letter report is a "Management Plan Far Individual Sewage Disposal Systems",
As stated in the Plan, the purpose is to provide for the regular operation and maintenance of
ISDS. This Plan has previously been incorporated into the covenants of Los Amigos Ranch
PUD. The Plan will be included in the covenants adopted as part of the Preliminary Plan.
Also attached to this letter report is a letter from Hepworth-Pawlak dated January 19, 1998,
which further summarizes the field investigations performed on this site. As stated in the
letter, Hepworth-Pawlak reiterates their conclusion from their original study which indicates
that this site is suitable for individual septic systems while recognizing that mounding or other
engineered systems may be required where a shallow bedrock restraint might be encountered.
ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE
Roadways within this project have been sized in accordance with current requirements of the
Garfield County Subdivision Regulations. Estimated service requirements are based on 10
vehicle trips per day {VPD) per individual lot. Typical road sections for the different roadway
classifications are contained within the Preliminary Plan drawings.

Subject: Individual Septic Systems, Los Amigos Ranch P.U.D., County Road 114,
Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Mr. I3oecker:
As requested be Dean Gordon, we are providing clarification of our recommendations regarding
individual septic systems for the proposed Los Amigos Ranch F.U.D. We have received a copy
of the first 4 pages of preliminary plat review letter by Wright Water Engineers to Garfield
County dated January 9, 1998. We performed a preliminary geotechnical study for the project
under Job No. 196 617, dated February 14, 1997.
Individual Septic Systems: Percolation tests were conducted in January, 1997 to evaluate the
feasibility of individual septic systems at the site. The percolation rates varied from 11 to 40
minutes per inch. The average of eleven percolation tests was about 24 minutes per inch. The
tests were performed between 3 and 5V2 feet below the ground surface. All the tests were
performed in the overburden soils above the basalt flow rock. Partial refusal to digging by the
Case 780C rubber -tired backhoe was encountered shallower than 8 feet deep in 15 of21 pits.
The average refusal depth was 4V2 feet. Whether the refusal was on intact basalt flow or on
basalt boulders within the overlying basalt colluvium soils could not be determined in the
relatively small backhoe pits. Based on our experience in the area and the site geology, we
expect that the basalt flow is close to the refusal depths encountered in the pits.
The development should be suitable for individual septic systems. Mounding or other
engineered systems may be required in shallow basalt rock areas. The system designs should be
based on site specific soils information.
If you have any questions, please contact our office.
Sincerely,

RE: Los Amigos Ranch
Preliminary Plat Pilings 6 through 10, Drainage
Dear Mark:
This letter transmits additional drainage information as a follow-up to our Tuesday, February
24, 1998 meeting. Recapping, Wright Water Engineers recommended in their January 9,
1998 letter that an analysis of existing conditions be conducted to facilitate an analytical
comparison for downstream impacts of the development. This was based on Garfield County
Subdivision Regulations, Section 9:43 which states "Where new developments create runoff
in excess of historic site levels, the use of detention ditches and ponds may be required to
retain up to the 100 -year storm".
These calculations were included in our re -submission and showed that the low density of the
project resulted in minimal increases in flood flows. Nonetheless, there was still concern
expressed at our meeting over the perception of downstream property owners. While Wright
Water Engineers generally agreed that the effects of the increased runoff on downstream
drainage structures would be minimal, they still thought that it would be in the County's best
interest to have an analysis of the structure showing that the effects of the increases were,
in fact, minimal. Another option would be to provide detention and release flood flows at less
than historic levels.
The revised copy of Sheet LAD, the Drainage Master Plan, shows how detention storage could
be incorporated into the Los Amigos Preliminary Plan. The four major points of
concentration for drainage Leaving the project are identified as Discharge Points 1 through 4.
Tributary areas for each of these points have been identified and are shown by thick, dashed
lines. Potential detention areas are shown by hatching. A thick dotted line indicates the
portion of the basin tributary to the detention ponds. Detailed hydrologic and hydraulic
calculations (using the methodology appropriate for larger basins), as welt as a site survey,
will need to be performed for each detention pond location. A trial and error procedure will
be utilized to determine the optimal outlet configuration and storage volume that results in a
100 -year flow rate that is less than historic at the four discharge points. This detailed level
of analysis and design would be performed prior to the Final Plat submission.

in summary, the low density of the development results in minimal flood peak increases that
can be easily mitigated by standard engineering practices if the County deems this necessary.
Additionally, an analysis of downstream structures could be performed which would show
that the effects of these minimal flood peak increases would be unnoticeable. As a last
resort,improvements could be made to downstream drainage structures.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require additional clarification on any of the items
discussed.

DRAINAGE NARRATIVE
The Drainage Plan for the Preliminary Plan, Filings 6-10 of Los Amigos Ranch
Subdivision is rather simplistic. Due to the fact that the project is located near the ridge of a
hill, off-site water sheds were a small influence to the overall drainage of the project. The
slope of the land from south to north also allows the drainage to be carried by roadside ditches
with minor cross culverts at intersections and low points.
TR -55 and Rational Method are two means of determining peak flows within a small
to medium size basin. The Rational Method was chosen for this analysis due to the fact that,
in this area of Colorado, it generally predicts higher flood peaks than those produced by a TR -
55 analysis.
The procedure for using the Rational Method is one that utilizes a runoff coefficient, the
rainfall intensity corresponding to the time of concentration of the basin, and the overall basin
area in acres to calculate the flood peak in cubic feet per second. The runoff coefficients are
based on land use, soil type and slope. The Soil Conservation Service Soil Study for Garfield
County (Figure 1) shows that soils found within these drainage basins are classified as soil
group 6. The runoff coefficient for this project was calculated using a weighted formula for
impervious and pervious areas as shown:
Weighted C = [40.95 * A;mpervrOlh51 + (0.26 * ApOMOUIOtRi
ll/A
The overall drainage plan is shown on Drawing LAD of the Preliminary Plan drawings.
Many different basins (Figure 2) were identified and used in hydrologic calculations. The areas
for basins extending outside the property area were determined by planimetering boundaries
on 1" = 2000' USGS quadrangle maps. A 1" = 500' scale AutoCADD map was used to
calculate basin areas within the property.
In the case of minor basins, areas under two acres, a minimum culvert size of 16" was
used, Also, ditch flows were found using a percentage of total basin flows since only parts
of the basins are intercepted by roadside ditches.
The remainder of this report consists of tables showing the results from hydrologic
calculations performed and drainage elements to be used. Followed by spreadsheet
information used to calculate times of concentration for each basin.

RE: Application to Amend Preliminary Plan Submission
Los Amigos Ranch PUD - Filings 6 thru 10
Dear Greg:
This letter is in support of an Application to Amend the Preliminary Plan submission for Filings
6 to 10 of Los Amigos Ranch PUD. Specifically, certain portions of Section 4:00 Preliminary
Plan of the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations, as further outlined below, are addressed.
This Amended Preliminary Plan will consist of 178 single-family homes and a neighborhood
commercial parcel located immediately north and west of existing prior filings of Los Amigos
Ranch PUD. Included will be four Rural Residential lots in excess of 35 acres located generally
in the southwest part of the project.
4:80 DRAINAGE PLAN
Attached hereto please find Los Amigos PUD Ranch Preliminary Plat Drainage Report. The
methodology used is outlined in the attachment. The locations of drainage facilities are
shown on the Drainage Master Plan Sheet LAD and the various roadway plan & profile sheets
of the Preliminary Plan drawings.
There are no existing water courses or lakes on this property. Tributary areas are localized
in nature.
Drainage Master Plan Sheet LAD shows the locations of minor on-site drainage basins denoted
by Basin 'XX". The locations of major drainage elements required to convey stormwater are
denoted by a leader with the label "DE #XX".
The Drainage Master Plan also shows information relating to the storrnwater detention
concept developed in conjunction with Wright Water Engineers' review of the approved Filings
6 thru 10 Preliminary Plat. The pian shows the locations of the four major discharge points
for Los Amigos Ranch PUD denoted by "DP #X". Subareas indicated by heavy dashed lines
are labeled "DPX.X" Cross -hatched areas within each drainage basin indicate the locations
of proposed detention ponds. These ponds will attenuate the post -development flood peaks
for both the 25 -year and 100 -year floods to levels below those that would occur under

historic undeveloped conditions. An April 1998 report entitled "Los Amigos Ranch PUD
Preliminary Plan, Filings 6 thru 10, Stormwater Detention Analysis" presented the lengthy
hydrologic and detention routing calculations. Copies or this report are not included in this
submission, but will be gladly furnished upon request.
4:91 WATER SUPPLY PLAN
All of the lots proposed as part of this Amended Preliminary Plan submission will be serviced
by the extension and improvements of the existing central water system. In the case of the
Rural Residential lots, alternative service with either individual wells or central water system
extension is proposed.
EXISTING WATER SYSTEM
The existing system consists of two drilled wells, identified as Well No. 5 and Well No. 6, a
320000 gallon water tank, a control/chlorination building, numerous fire hydrants and a
distribution system consisting of 10", 8" and 6" piping which serves all previous filings within
Los Amigos Ranch PUO. Two pressure reducing valve (PRV) stations divide the system into
two pressure zones. The locations of the existing water system components are on the
Preliminary Plan Master Water Plan Sheet LAU-2.
Well No. 5 is a 5" steel cased well approximately 240 feet deep. The well has a static water
level of 80 feet and has been test pumped in the past to a total of 110 gpm with only a four
foot draw down. Estimated potential well capacity is estimated in excess of 300 gpm.
Well No. 6 is a 10" steel cased well with a total depth of approximately 260 feet. This well
has been test pumped in the past at 400 gprn.
Current combined well yield of these two wells is approximately 510 gpm with a total
potential yield in excess of 600 gpm.
The control/chlorination building contains the operating controls for the system. The required
30 -minute chlorine contact time is provided by 460 feet of 24" water main within the system.
The total volume contained within the piping is 10,800 gallons which provides more than 30
minutes of detention at the peak day pumping rate at build -out of the project of 251 gpm.
The water system is classified as a public water supply by the Colorado Department of Health.
Both the quality and bacteriological content of the water has consistently met all parameters
of the State of Colorado Primary Drinking Water System.
WATER REQUIREMENTS
Table 1 enclosed herein indicates the current water requirements for Los Amigos Ranch PUD
and the water requirements for Filings 6 to 10.
SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER. INC. -
June 22, 1999
Mr, Greg Boecker
Page 3
The water system will provide both in-house domestic use and outside lawn irrigation uses.
Average and peak day demands are calculated for both irrigation and non -irrigation seasons.
As noted in Table 1, the water system has been sized to include the service of the Residential
Rural lots, should they require service.
PROPOSED WATER TER SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The proposed water system components to accommodate Filings 6-10 are shown on the
Preliminary Plan Master Water Plan Sheet LAU-2. New 10", 8" and 6" transmission and
distribution lines will be installed along with fire hydrants and 1" or 1 Y2" water services for
each lot. A new steel water tank will be required in the western portion of the project once
development proceeds into Filing 9.
The CYBERNET computer model was used to calculate pressures and determine required tine
sizes throughout the system. Fire flow demands, rather than peak hour demands, govern the
design of the system. Lines were sized with the goal of providing a fire flow of at least 500
gpm at 20 psi. This was achieved in all areas.
The fire hydrants were placed where they would benefit the most lots. The hydrant layout
shown on LAU-2 has been done consistent with discussions with the Carbondale and Rural
Fire Protection District,
Due to the large line sizes used, pressure differences that would occur under static conditions
and peak day demands are negligible. Assuming a mid -tank level, a maximum pressure of
about 135 psi would be observed in the lowest portion of Filing 8. Some low pressure levels
will occur on the lots in the northeast portion of the project in the vicinity of the water tank.
The Water Master Plan Sheet LAU-2 indicates Tots which fall above the elevation 7090140 psi
line. The significance is that, depending on where the actual homesite is situated, individual
lot owners may wish to install a pump and pressure tank to obtain higher, in-house pressures.
One and one-half inch diameter water services are also recommended for these lots to
minimize the headloss that would occur from the water main to the house.
The attached report entitled, "Los Amigos Ranch PUD Preliminary Plat, Filings 6-10, Water
System Calculations" contains a computer model schematic and results of the fire flow
analysis. Again, the maximum day pressures listed were virtually the same as the maximums
observed under static conditions. Separate fire flow runs are provided for an analysis of the
complete system with both tanks on line and "an east tank only" scenario which excludes
Filing 9.
The existing 320,000 gallon east tank was over -sized to accommodate potential future filings.
Considering those areas east of Filing 9 (which has 60 lots) and the water demands
referenced in Table 1, the minimum required tank volume can be calculated as follows:

RURAL RESIDENTIAL LOTS
For purposes of sizing the central water system, service to the four (4) Rural Residential lots
was assumed to be part of the water system.
Because of the size of these lots and their location relative to the remainder of the project and
the water system, this plan proposes as an alternative the ability to drill an individual well on
each of these lets. With respect to the history of well development in this area, we have
reviewed records available from the District Engineer's Office and have talked to local well
drillers familiar with groundwater conditions. Wells have been variable with respect to well
depth and well yield. Generally, the wells have been completed in bedrock formations or in
the alluvial layers immediately above bedrock interfaces. Well yields are generally less than
10 gpm which would indicate intermediate storage between the well and the residence may
be required depending upon total well yield. We anticipate the water would be classified as

"hard", but that all Colorado Primary Drinking Water Standards will be met. Depending on the
degree of hardness, water softening may or may not be elected by the homeowner.
With respect to fire protection for these lots, it is proposed to provide a 2000 gallon cistern.
with draft pipe for use by firefighting apparatus. This cistern would be located near the
residence and would be sited at the time that an architectural site plan is available for the
residential building construction.
4:92 SANITARY SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLAN
EXISTING SANITARY DISPOSAL FACILITIES
Previously approved filings within the Los Amigos Ranch PIJD are serviced by either individual
sewage disposal systems (lSDSl or a central wastewater treatment collection and treatment
system operated by the Spring Valley Sanitation District (SVSD). Those portions of the PUD
serviced by SVSD are properties which generally lie within the Spring Valley aquifer drainage
and can be serviced by gravity collection sewerlines. The approximate boundaries of the
Spring Valley aquifer have been established during prior approvals.
CENTRAL WASTEWATER SYSTEM
Residential Lots With Central Wastewater Treatment and Collection System
Central wastewater treatment and collection services are provided by the Spring Valley
Sanitation District (SVSD). The existing system consists of a gravity sewer collection system
that serves both Los Amigos Ranch PUD and Colorado Mountain College (CMC), and an
aerated lagoon wastewater treatment facility utilizing exfiitration basins as a disposal method
for effluent.
Within the Los Amigos Ranch PUD, the central sewer system presently services Auburn Ridge
Apartments and 49 single-family lots.
Proposed Sewer Collection Facilities - Filings 6 thru 10
The wastewater collection system will be extended throughout Filings 6 thru 10 to provide
collection of wastewater to an additional 174 single-family lots. Because of the variations in
the topography over the extent of the project, the vast majority of these lots will be serviced
by a low pressure sewer collection system. This system varies significantly from the
traditional gravity sewer collection system typically seen in municipal wastewater collection
systems. As opposed to having large diameter sewer gravity pipes discharging to central lift
stations, a low pressure sewer collection system utilizes pumping units on individual lots
which feed a common small diameter pressure sewer force main.

Mr, Greg Boecker

A number of low pressure collection system alternatives have been investigated by the
Owner. The equipment and design methodology as employed a -one sewer systems of
Niskayuna, New York, have been used as a reference specification for the system. Attached
hereto is a preliminary design for the system directly from e -one and dated May 10, 1999.
Sheet LAU-3 of the plans is a plan layout of the entire system. The force mains vary in size
from 1 Y2" to 4". The system discharges to the existing gravity collection system of the
SVSD.
This system is consistent with the recommendations by the County Engineer on the previous
submittal for Filings 6 thru 10 and upon which the condition of approval was written requiring
a low pressure sewer collection system. It is anticipated that this system will be owned and
operated by either the Homeowners Association or SVSD from the point at which the
connection is made to the gravity system of the SVSD.
Sheet LAU-7 shows a typical pumping system that will be installed by each individual
homeowner at the time individual residences are constructed. The homeowner will be
required to construct a pumping system that is consistent with the design parameters for the
e -one low pressure sewer system, sized in accordance with the wastewater collection
requirements of each individual residence.

Centra'i treatment will continue to be provided by SVSD. The existing treatment facility is not
sufficient in capacity to handle the treatment requirements of Filings 6 thru 10.
SVSD is currently involved in the process of expanding the wastewater treatment facilities.
An Amended Service Pian has been completed by the District and submitted to the County
for review. That Amended Service Plan has been approved by both the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the Board of County Commissioners. It will serve as a basis for expansion
of wastewater treatment facilities, of which Los Amigos Ranch PUD is a portion.
The next step in the evaluation process is the submission of a Site Application through
Garfield County to the Colorado Department of Public & Environment CDPHE). Currently,
CDPHE is undertaking a 208 Regional Water Quality Management Plan for District 11, which
encompasses the Roaring Fork River Drainage Basin. This plan has been completed in draft
form and will be presented before the Water Quality Control Commission in August, 1999,
for final approval. SVSD is anticipating that, within a week after final approval of the 208
Regional Water Quality Management Plan, the Site Application will be completed and
submitted to Garfield County for consideration prior to review by the CDPHE.
Completion of construction of wastewater treatment facility expansion will be dependent on
the length of approvals by the various review agencies. The potential dates for completion
range from the end of the construction season of year 2000 to completion by mid -year 2001.

INDIVIDUAL SEWAGE DISPOSAL. SYSTEMS {ISDS)
Residential Lots With ISDS
ISDS installations are being proposed for the four (4) Rural Residential lots shown on the
Amended Preliminary Plat.
Referencing the geotechnic report prepared by Hepworth-Pawlak included in this application,
there have been nine percolation tests conducted throughout the filing. The percolation test
results range from 11 minutes per inch to 40 minutes per inch. These percolation rates are
indicative of subsurface conditions which are acceptable for ISDS to be constructed. The
percolation tests were run at locations and in site soils conditions that are representative of
the overall conditions throughout the project.
Additionally, there are ten 10) units within the existing Los Amigos Ranch PUD which have
been installed and are using ISDS far sewage service. To the best of our knowledge,
adequate percolation and subsurface conditions were found at all these sites for standard
ISDS utilization.
Environmental and Health Impacts Analysis
Garfield County Sewage Disposal Regulations which, in turn, are based on the "Guidelines on
Individual Sewage Disposal Systems", Colorado Department of Health, set forth the conditions
and regulations under which the County and the State of Colorado have determined are
appropriate to the construction of ISDS. These regulations are very comprehensive with
respect to site characteristics which determine the type and size of the system which can be
constructed. Those regulations recognize the ability of a soil matrix to provide the necessary
treatment to septic tank effluent such that, once the effluent passes through the soil matrix,
the treated effluent does not pose a public health hazard or risk. The regulations further
address the potential for cumulative impact of ISDS systems by specifying the minimum lot
sizes that should be utilized for ISDS systems.
ISDS technology recognizes that there are certain instances where there are inherent restraints
to the use of ISDS's. These restraints include high groundwater table, underlying bedrock
formations, inadequate percolation rate, horizontal separation from wells and water courses,
and excessive percolation rate. Whenever any of these restraints exist, the regulations require
that they be identified and that the system installed when restraints occur, be designed under
the direction of a registered professional engineer in the State of Colorado.
A "standard" ISDS system, typically consists of a septic tank and leach field. In order to use
a standard ISDS, the underlying soil matrix should demonstrate percolation rates within
acceptable defined limits and there should be identified no restraints to the installation of the
system. As stated above, all systems currently installed within the Los Amigos Ranch PUD
are standard systems, with acceptable percolation rates existing and no restraints to
construction identified. Based upon data now available, it is anticipated that for the four Rural
SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC
June 22, 1999
Mr. Greg Boecker
Page 8
Residential lots, a standard system will be installed. In each case, percolation tests and profile
holes will be excavated at the location and depth of the proposed leach field at each individual
building site in accordance with Garfield County regulations. The results of those tests will
be analyzed and the system design based on percolation rate and size of residence.
Attached to this letter report is a "Management Plan For Individual Sewage Disposal
Systems". As stated in the Plan, the purpose is to provide for the regular operation and
maintenance of ISDS. This Plan has previously been incorporated into the covenants of Los
Amigos Ranch PUD. The Plan will be included in the covenants adopted as part of the
Preliminary Plan..
Also attached to this letter report is a letter from Hepworth-Pawlak dated January 19, 1998,
which further summarizes the field investigations performed on this site. As stated in the
letter, Hepworth-Pawlak reiterates their conclusion from their original study which indicates
that this site is suitable for individual septic systems while recognizing that mounding or other
engineered systems may be required where a shallow bedrock restraint might be encountered.
ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE
Roadways within this project have been sized in accordance with current requirements of the
Garfield County Subdivision Regulations. Estimated service requirements are based on 10
vehicle trips per day (VPD) per individual lot. Typical road sections for the different roadway
classifications are contained within the Preliminary Plan drawings.
Roadway infrastructure as part of this filing will be as follows (next page):

The cul-de-sacs as shown will have an outside turning radius of 45 feet. All roadway grades
are less than 8% and are detailed in the Preliminary Plan drawings.
Please note that several of the roadways could be designed at a semi -primitive roadway
classification. The Owner has indicated that the Rural Access classification will be used for
ail those roadways.
I trust that the above is adequate to support the Preliminary Plan Application for Filings 6-10
Los Amigos Ranch PUD. 1 will be available to provide further input and respond to any
questions of any of the review agencies, i also plan to be in attendance at both the Planning
and Zoning Commission hearing and the Board of County Commissioners hearing to answer
any additional questions.

LOS AMIGOS RANCH
MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR INDIVIDUAL SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS
A. Purpose
The purpose of this Management Plan is to provide for regular operations and
maintenance of the individual sewage disposal systems. The Management Plan
provides a mechanism for regular pumping of septic tanks and for funding the cost
thereof. This Management Plan is not intended to provide for common ownership of
sewage disposal facilities, nor to provide a mechanism for funding for, or the actual
construction of, replacement of individual systems.
$, Responsibility of Management Plan
The Management Plan shall be the responsibility of the Los Amigos Ranch
Homeowners Association. The Homeowners Association shall make arrangements
with a septic tank pumping company for the pumping of septic tanks on a two-year,
rotating basis.
C. Funding
The Los Amigos Ranch Homeowners Association will collect, as part of the
Association dues, sufficient funds to pay for the bi-annual pumping of septic tanks.
The amount of funds collected shall be adjusted as necessary to pay for the cost of
the Management Pan.
D. Individual Homeowners Responsibilities
1. Provide access to the septic tank for purposes of cleaning.
2. Pump septic tank more frequently, if required, based on actual use.
3. Initially install, and subsequently replace, failed leach field systems as required,
all in accordance with applicable Garfield County Health Codes.

Job No. 196 617
Subject: Individual Septic Systems. Los Amigos Ranch P.U.D.. County Road 114.
Garfield County. Colorado
Dear Mr. Boecker:
As requested be Dean Gordon. we are providing clarification of our recommendations regarding
individual septic systems for the proposed Los Amigos Ranch P.0 D. We have received a copy
of the first 4 pages of preliminary plat review letter by Wright Water Engineers to Garfield
County dated January 9, 1998. We performed a preliminary geotechnical study for the project
under Job No. 196 617. dated February 14. 1997.
Individual Septic Systems: Percolation tests were conducted in January. 1997 to evaluate the
feasibility of individual septic systems at the site. The percolation rates varied from 11 to 40
minutes per inch. The average of eleven percolation tests was about 24 minutes per inch. The
tests were performed between 3 and 5' IA feet below the ground surface. All the tests were
performed in the overburden soils above the basalt flow rock. Partial refusal to digging by the
Case 780C rubber -tired backhoe was encountered shallower than 8 feet deep in 15 of 21 pits.
The average refusal depth was 4'/a feet. Whether the refusal was on intact basalt flow or on
basalt boulders within the overlying basalt colluvium soils could not be determined in the
relatively small backhoe pits. Based on our experience in the area and the site geology. we
expect that the basalt flow is close to the refusal depths encountered in the pits.
The development should be suitable for individual septic systems. Mounding or other
engineered systems may be required in shallow basalt rock areas. The system designs should be
based on site specific soils information.
If you have any questions, please contact our office.
Sincerely.

Preliminary Geologic Hazards Investigation for
Los Amigos Ranch P.U.D., Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Mr. Wall:
Personnel of Lincoln--DeVore completed a preliminary geologic
hazard site inspection on the above referenced property on
September 5, 1978, in order to identify and define geologic and
soils constraints which may effect the development. A set of
three maps were prepared in connection with this report. The set
of three maps were based on a regional study done by
Lincoln-DeVore for Garfield County in 1975 under the provisions
of Colorado House Dill 1041. The House Bill 1041 mapping was
amended and added to, to prepare the set of reaps for this site,
but the set of three maps which accompany this study must still
be considered as preliminary in nature. The three maps are:
Plate I - Preliminary Geologic Map: Plate II - Preliminary Soils
Hazards Zone Map and; Plate III - Preliminary Slope Hazard,
Floodway and Stability Map.
The scope of this present work consisted of 1) the tracing of
the Preliminary Geologic map to a new topographic base map, and
2) the re -issuance of the original letter (dated September 14,
1978) describing the geology and hazards of the site. No addi-
tional site reconnaissance was conducted.
Geologically the site could be described as an upland mesa,
formed by basalt flows (Tb) (see Plate I) which were extruded
during the down cutting of the Roaring Fork Valley. These flows
covered the Maroon Formation (PPm) (see Plate I), a thick
sequence of red interbedded sandstones, siltstones, and shales
which can be seen outcropping along the southwestern edge of the
site. The basalt flows also partially covered the Eagle Valley
Evaporite (Peer) in the southern portion of the site. The Eagle
Valley Evaporite locally consists of white to grey gypsum with
widely spaced fine grained sandstones and dark grey shales.

The following discussion of the engineering considerations of
these three formations is general in nature.
The Eagle Valley Evaporite (Pev) has undergone several types of
deformation which has resulted in a typical chaotic internal
structure. The contortion and deformation of the incompetent
materials of this formation dictates that wherever it is exposed
it must be considered as potentially unstable. Other hazards
associated with this formation include potential solution, hydro -
compaction and the presence of corrosive minerals.
The maroon Formation (PPm) is highly fractured and, therefore,
easily eroded which provides an excellent source of material for
rockfall and debris flow, when exposed on steep slopes. These
hazards are only present along the steep valley sides on the west
and southwest boundary of the site. Soils derived from the
Maroon formation may be susceptible to potential subsidence and
hydrocompaction.
The basalt flows (Tb), which underlie the majority of the site,
are dark grey, highly fractured, vesicular basalts attaining
several hunderd feet in thickness. The major hazard associated
with the basalt is rockfall which is present on the steeper slo-
pes below the cliff -like palisades along the Roaring Fork Valley
in the west and southwest edges of the site, and along the
outcrops near the eastern boundary. Another large rockfall area
is present in the south central portion of the site just north of
the Colorado Mountain College access road.
Another slope stability problem in the presence of a moderate
sized landslide (Qls) was noted at the base of the palisade bet-
ween the two major drainage gullies just north of where they
intersect. This slide appears fairly old and moderately stable
but, without specific analysis, should be considered potentially
unstable.
The palisades which occur throughout the proposed development area
should be considered as potentially unstable and a minimum set-
back from the edges for buildings should be established prior to
construction.
The basalt bedrock appears to outcrop or be present at a shallow
depth throughout the majority of the site and wherever it is
encountered close to the surface will affect both construction.
and excavation and may require blasting for removal. The shallow
bedrock is highly fractured and permeable, which will affect the
potential for individual septic systems and may necessitate the
use of a central septic system.

Surficial deposits mapped as colluvium (Qc) have potential
hazards which are dependent on the formations from which they are
derived and their modes of deposition. Colluvium, derived from
the Maroon formation, is mainly gravity transported and will be
susceptible to potential subsidence due to hydrocompacti.on only,
whereas colluvium derived from the Eagle Valley Evaporite will be
susceptible to solution, hydrocompaction and the presence of
corrosive minerals.
Alluvial deposits mapped as terraces (Qt1_2) consist mainly of
well rounded sands and gravels and have no inherent hazards except
where they overlie incompetent members of. the Eagle Valley
Evaporite, which could cause them to be potentially unstable.
Sands and gravels also make up the deposit which surrounds the
Roaring Fork River labeled (QAL) . The alluvial deposit mapped as
(QAL) in the eastern part of the site, however, consists mainly .
of sand, silt and clay deposited by stream action. Expansive
clays and/or consolidating silts may be encountered in this
eastern alluvial area. Another geologic feature mapped as an
alluvial fan (Of) was noted just south of the site but will not
affect the proposed developement.
Two major gullies and several minor ones were inspected to deter-
mine their potential for flooding and debris flows. The evidence
indicates that significant stream flow in most of the gullies
will exist only during and after torrential rains. The upper
part of the drainage basins are fairly flat, cultivated, and
cross the highly fractured and permeable basalt flows which tends
to reduce runoff to a level far below that which would normally
be expected; however, the potential for flooding within the
gullies does exist and has been mapped as floodways (fw) (see
Plate III). The lower partof the drainages become fairly steep
and contain considerable quantities of debris. Close inspection
of these gullies revealed no recent debris flow activity, and
actually very little potential for debris flows. In all the
areas of the proposed development which are located on the
uplands, the flood hazard to those areas is almost nonexistent.
There is a potential for hazards to exist for any roads and
darns placed in the area of the gullies; these must be designed
for the relevant peak flows and channel configurations.
Site specific studies are recommended in areas of proposed
construction which contain geologic hazards, at which time speci-
fic mitigation procedures can be outlined.
The following legend summarizes the geologic units included on the
Preliminary Geologic map.

Subject: Preliminary Geotechnical Study, Proposed Residential Development, Los
Amigos Ranch F.U.D., County Road 1 14, Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Mr Boecker:
As requested, we have conducted a geotechnical study for the proposed development.
It should be possible to develop the project as proposed without encountering severe
constraint or hazards associated with the geology. Building sites are not recommended in
the landslide area or near the faults shown on Fig. 1. Dense hard basalt is expected at
relatively shallow depths and difficult excavation conditions should be expected.
Subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory pits excavated in the genera!
proposed development area consist of 1 to 3 feet of topsoil overlying nil to 7 feet of clay
and silt. About V2 to 3 feet of basalt colluviurn overlying basalt rock was encountered in
most of the borings below the clay and silt. The basalt soils were not encountered in Pits
1, 7, 8, 9, 18 and 21 to the maximum depth explored, 9 feet, Groundwater was not
encountered in the pits and the soils are slightly moist to moist.
Spread footings placed on the natural subsoils and designed for an allowable bearing
pressure of 1,500 psfto 3,000 psf appear suitable at the building sites. The footings may
need to be designed for minimum dead load if expansive clays are encountered.
The report which follows describes our investigation, summarizes our findings, and
presents our recommendations suitable for planning and preliminary design. It is important
that we provide consultation during design, and field services during construction to
review and monitor the implementation of the geotechnical recommendations.
If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact us.
Sincerely,
HEPWORTH-PAWLAK GEOTECHNICAL, INC.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a preliminary geotechnical study for the proposed
Los Amigos Ranch development to be located east of County Road 114, Garfield County,
Colorado. The project site is shown on Fig. 1. The purpose of the study was to identify
the geologic and subsurface conditions and evaluate their impact on the project. The study
was conducted in accordance with our proposal for geotechnical engineering services to
Greg Boecker, dated December 9, 1996.
A field exploration program consisting of a reconnaissance and exploratory pits
was conducted to obtain information on the site and subsurface conditions. Samples
obtained during the field exploration were tested in the laboratory to determine
compressibility or swell and other engineering characteristics of the on-site soils. The
results of the field exploration and laboratory testing were analyzed to develop
recommendations for project planning and preliminary design. This report summarizes the
data obtained during this study and presents our conclusions and recommendations based
on the proposed development.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development will consist of 158 lots with an average size of 31/2
acres as shown on Fig. 1. The development will consist of single family homes. Private
driveways will access the building sites. We assume the residences will be typical of the
area and be 2 stories, possibly with crawispace, shallow basements and slabs -on -grade.
The development will be serviced by a central water and individual septic disposal systems.
If development plans change significantly from those described, we should be
notified to reevaluate the recommendations presented in this report.

SITE CONDITIONS
The Los Amigos Ranch PUD is located on the northeast side of the Roaring Fork
River valley about miles 5 miles south of Glenwood Springs. The general topography in
the area is shown on Fig.]. This study covers 158 single family lots and a 151.9 acre rural
residential tract in the western part of the PUD. The Subdivision 2 area in the eastern part
of the PUD has already been platted and several residences have been constructed in that
area. The proposed home sites and rural residential area covered by this study are located
on a rolling upland which lies about 800 feet above the Roaring Fork River valley floor.
Slopes on the single family lots usually do not exceed about 10% but steeper slopes are
locally present on some lots and in the rural residential tract. The steeper slopes are
located along the rim of the upland and along a west trending valley which crosses through
the rural residential tract where slopes between 30% and 100% are locally present. Major
drainages do not cross through the property The property is drained by several small
ephemeral streams with relatively small basins. Vegetation is primarily sagebrush and
junipers.
GEOLOGIC SETTING
The Los Amigos Ranch PUD is located on a roiling plateau to the northeast of the
Roaring Fork River valley. The plateau lies about 800 feet above the valley floor and
underlain by :Miocene -age basalt flows. The area is on the southwestern edge of the White
River Uplift which was formed during the Laramide Orogeny about 40 to 70 million years
ago (Tweto and Others, 1978). Local geologic structures are the Cattle Creek Anticline,
Glenwood Springs Syncline, and short, small displacement normal faults (Kirkham and
Others, 1995). The faults in the area are not considered capable of producing large
earthquakes (Kirkham and Rodgers, 1981). Rock formations below the basalt in the area
H -P GEOTEcr�
3
are the Maroon Formation, Eagle Valley Formation and Eagle Valley Evaporite. Surficial
deposits are predominantly colluvium and a small landslide.
FORMATION ROCK
Basalt: The basalt below the plateau is made up of multiple flow sheets which are
sometimes interbedded with tuffaceous, fluvial siltstone and sandstone, lacustrine
claystone, volcanic ash and volcanic breccia. Below the plateau the basalt flow could be as
thick as 160 to 200 feet. The basalt is a very hard, dense rock which is usually cut by a
complex joint system. Most of the test pits excavated for this study encountered refusal in
basalt at depth of less than 6 feet. The basalt in the area is about 22.4 million years old
(Kirkham and Others, 1995).
Maroon Formation; The Pennsylvanian and Permian -age Maroon Formation is present
below the basalt in the western part of the study area. The Maroon is a maroon and
grayish -red sandstone, conglomerate, and mudstone. The beds are usually cemented and
hard with some non-cemented beds. The rock is usually cut by joints which gives the rock
a blocky structure.
Eagle Valley Formation and Eagle Valley Evaporate: These two rock units are present
below the Maroon Formation in the western part of the study area and may directly
underlie the basalt in the eastern part of the study area. Both rock units were deposited in
a large evaporite basin during the Pennsylvanian age about 300 million years ago. The
Eagle Valley Formation is a transitional unit between the coarse clastic rocks of the
Maroon Formation and the mostly evaporitic rocks of the Eagle Valley Evaporite. The
Eagle Valley Formation consists of gray and reddish -brown siltstone, shale, sandstone, and
carbonate rocks with some local lenses of gypsum, The Eagle Valley Evaporite consists of
gray and brown, gypsum, anhydrite, halite and minor potash salts interbedded with fine-
grained sandstone, siltstone and claystone, thin beds of carbonate rock and conglomerate.

The bedding structure in the Eagle Valley Evaporite in most places has been highly
deformed because of plastic flow of the gypsum and anhydrite
SURFICIAL DEPOSITS
Colluvium: In most areas the basalt and underlying sedimentary rocks are covered by
colluvium. The test pits indicated that in the proposed building areas the colluvium is
shallow and probably does not exceed 10 feet deep. The colluvium in these areas consists
of sandy silt and clay with basalt fragments and basalt fragments in a silty sand matrix.
Landslide: A small landslide was previously identified by Lincoln DeVore (1978) on the
steep hillside in the eastern part of the rural residential tract, see Fig. 1. The landslide
appears to be in colluvium. Evidence of recent movement was not apparent, but the area
should be considered potentially unstable.
GEOLOGIC STRUCTURES
Folds: Regional geologic mapping shows that the north trending axis of the Cattle Creek
Anticline generally parallels the axis of the Roaring Fork River valley to the south of
Glenwood Springs (Kirkham and Others, 1995). The anticline is bordered on the east by
the Glenwood Springs Syncline and the axis of the syncline trends through the study area.
These two structures are believed to be the result ofevaporite-flow intrusion from the
Eagle Valley Evaporite as a result of crustal unloading associated with stream erosion
along the river. Some of the deformation appears to have tilted the early Pleistocene river
terraces in the area.
Faults: Linear escarpments are present in the southwestern part of the study area, see Fig.
I , The escarpments appear to be faults which displace the basalt flows. This would

indicate that fault movements are younger than about 22.4 million years. The west
trending valley in the rural residential tract appears to be a graben between the two faults.
The faults could be associated with evaporite-flow deformation and the formation of the
Cattle Creek Anticline and the Glenwood Springs Syncline.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted on January 6 and 7, 1997.
Twenty-one exploratory pits were excavated at the locations shown on Fig. 1 to evaluate
the subsurface conditions. The pits were dug with a Case 780C rubber -tired backhoe. The
pits were logged by a representative of Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with relatively undisturbed and disturbed
sampling methods. Depths at which the samples were taken are shown on the Logs of
Exploratory Pits, Figs. 2 and 3. The samples were returned to our laboratory for review by
the project engineer and testing.
Percolation testing was performed in shallow pits excavated adjacent to about half
of the deeper exploratory pits described above.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on
Figs. 2 and 3. The subsoils consist of about 1 to 3 feet of topsoil overlying nil to 7 feet of
sandy silt and clay with basalt fragments. In most of the pits, about '/z to 3 feet of silty
sand and gravel with basalt fragments (basalt colluvium) and basalt rock was encountered
underlying the silt and clay. The basalt colluvium was not encountered in Pits I, 7,8, 9, 18
and 21. Some of the clay and silt soils were cemented. Digging in the basalt colluvium
and basalt rock was difficult due to the material size and hardness and refusal to the
backhoe was encountered in the deposit.

Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the pits included natural
moisture content, density, Atterberg limits and gradation analyses. Results of
consolidation testing performed on relatively undisturbed drive samples, presented on Figs.
5 to 11, indicate low to moderate compressibility under conditions of loading and wetting.
Minor expansion or collapse potential (settlement under constant load) when the samples
were wetted was indicated in most of the tested samples. Results of gradation analyses
performed on disturbed bulk samples (minus 5 -inch fraction) of the more granular soils are
shown on Figs. 12 to 16. The laboratory testing is summarized in Table I.
No free water was encountered in the pits at the time of excavation and the subsoils
were slightly moist to moist.
GEOLOGIC SITE ASSESSMENT
It should be possible to develop the project as proposed without encountering
severe constraints or hazards associated with the geology. There are, however, some
geologic conditions which should be considered in project planning as described below.
FLOODING
Ephemeral stream channels are present in some of the proposed single family lots
and in the rural residential tract. Because of the lot sizes it should be possible to avoid
potential flood areas with the building sites. It is recommenced that a hydrologist evaluate
the flood potential along the ephemeral drainages.
LANDSLIDE AREA
The landslide area in the eastern part of the rural residential tract may extend onto
parts of three single family home sites which lie to the north, see Fig, 1. It is recommended
that building sites not be considered on the landslide. If buildings are planned near the

landslide, its boundaries should be reviewed in the held to determine appropriate setbacks
for buildings.
CONSTRUCTION RELATED SLOPE INSTABILITY
We do not expect potential problems with construction related slope instability in
the proposed development areas if the landslide is avoided and construction is not
considered on slopes steeper than about 30%. Recommendations for site grading are
presented in the Site Grading section of this report.
GYPSUM DEFORMATION AND FAULTS
The folds and faults in the area may be associated with evaporite-flow deformation
in the Eagle Valley Evaporite. It is uncertain if this deformation is still an active geologic
process or if deformation has stopped. To our knowledge there has been no problems with
gypsum deformation in western Colorado except in areas where the Eagle Valley Evaporite
is near the surface and sinkholes have developed. Sinkholes are not considered to be a
potential hazard because of the thick basalt and sedimentary rock cover. If broad regional
gypsum deformation is still occurring, it is likely that the deformation is at a very slow rate
and should not be a potential hazard. Differential fault creep could be localized along the
faults. Because of this it is recommended that building sites not be locate in the vicinity of
the faults.
EARTHQUAKES
The project area could experience moderately strong earthquake related ground
shaking. Modified Mercalli Intensity VI ground shaking should be expected during a
reasonable service life for the development, but the probability for stronger ground shaking
is ]ow. Intensity VI ground shaking is felt by most people and causes general alarm, but
results in negligible damage to structures of good design and construction. The faults in
the study area, in our opinion, do not increase the seismic potential. All occupied

structures in the development should be designed to withstand moderately strong ground
shaking with little or no damage and not to collapse under stronger ground shaking. The
region is in the Unifof-n Building Code, Seismic Risk Zone 1. Ba sed on our current
understanding of the earthquake hazard in this part of Colorado, we see no reason to
increase the commonly accepted seismic risk zone for the area.
EXACTION DIFFICULTIES
Dense, hard basalt is expected to be present at most proposed building sites and
along road and utility alignments. Practical backhoe refusal was encountered in most of
the exploratory pits at depths of less than 6 feet. Excavations in the basalt in most areas
will require ripping and blasting may be needed,
PRELIMINARY DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
The conclusions and recommendations presented below are based on the proposed
development, subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory pits, and our
experience in the area. The recommendations are suitable for planning and preliminary
design but site specific studies should be conducted for individual lot development.
FOUNDATI ONS
Bearing conditions will vary depending on the specific location of the building on
the property. Based on the nature of the proposed construction spread footings bearing on
the natural subsoils should be suitable at the building sites. We expect the footings can be
sized for an allowable bearing pressure in the range of 1,500 psf to 3,000 psf. Expansive
clays encountered in building areas may need to be removed or the footings designed to
impose a minimum dead load pressure on the order of 600 to 1,000 psf to limit potential
heave. Nested boulders and loose matrix soils may need treatment such as enlarging
footings or placing compacted fill or concrete backfill. Foundation walls should be
H -P GEOTECH
9
designed to span local anomalies and to resist lateral earth loadings when acting as
retaining structures. Below grade areas and retaining walls should be protected frons
wetting and hydrostatic loading by use of an underdrain system. The footings should have
a minimum depth of 36 inches for frost protection.
FLOOR SLABS
Slab -on -grade construction should be feasible for bearing on the natural soils.
There could be some post construction slab movement at sites with collapsible matrix or
expansive clays. To reduce the effects of some differential movement, floor slabs should
be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints. Floor slab control
joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking, A minimum 4 -inch
thick layer of free -draining gravel should underlie basement level slabs to facilitate
drainage.
UIVDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although free water was not encountered in the exploratory pits, it has been our
experience in the area that local perched groundwater may develop during times of heavy
precipitation or seasonal runoff An underdrain system should be provided to protect
below grade construction, such as retaining walls, crawl space and basement areas from
wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup. The drains should consist of drainpipe
surrounded above the invert level with free -draining. granular material. The drain should be
placed at each level of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish grade
and sloped at a minimum I% to a suitable gravity outlet.
SITE GRADING
The risk of construction induced slope instability at the site appears low provided
the buildings are located in the less steep parts of the property as planned and cut and fill
depths are limited. Cut depths for the building pads and driveway access should not
H -P GEOTECH
- 10 -
exceed about 10 feet. Fills should be limited to about 10 feet deep, especially where they
encroach steep downhill sloping areas. Structural fills should be compacted to at least
95% of the maximum standard Proctor density near optimum moisture content. Prior to
fill placement, the subgrade should be carefully prepared by removing all vegetation and
topsoil, The fill should be benched into the portions of the hillside exceeding 20% grade.
The on-site soils excluding oversized rock and topsoil should be suitable for use in
embankment fills,
Permanent unretained cut and fill slopes should be graded at 2 horizontal to
1 vertical or flatter and protected against erosion by revegetation, rock riprap or other
means, This office should review site grading plans for the project prior to construction.

The grading plan for the subdivision should consider runoff from steep uphill slopes
through the project and at individual sites. Water should not be allowed to pond which
could impact slope stability and foundations. To limit infiltration into the bearing soils next
to buildings, exterior backfill should be well compacted and have a positive slope away
from the building for a distance of 10 feet. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge
well beyond the limits of all backfill and landscape irrigation should be restricted,
PAVEMENT SUBGRADE
The predominant subgrade material encountered along the road alignment is
slightly sandy to sandy, medium plastic clay. Based on laboratory testing and our
experience, we estimate the clay subgrade has a Hveem Stabilometer "R" value of about 10
which is considered a poor subgrade for support of pavement materials. Basalt rock and
highly calcareous soils will also be encountered which are considered fair subgrade
conditions for pavement support. Based on our findings, the subgrade throughout the
project area can be assumed to have a design 'R' value of 10. The subgrade support of
predominant rock areas encountered should be evaluated on an individual basis. The soils
H -P GEOrECH
can be frost susceptible which could increase the risk of post construction movement. The
topsoil and any wet subgrade in drainage areas are unstable for pavement support. In
general, the topsoil should be removed. In any soft and wet areas, subgrade improvement
be partial stripping and placement of a geotextile and reinforcement mat (such as Tensar
SS -1 geogrid) and additional sub -base aggregate could be used. The geotextile and
reinforcement mat should be placed according to the manufacturer's specifications. The
entire subgrade and any sub -base stabilized areas should be proof rolled with a heavily
Loaded wheel vehicle and soft deflecting areas stabilized before placing the pavement base
materials.
PERCOLATION TESTING
Percolation tests were conducted on January 7, 8 and 9 to evaluate the feasibility of
infiltration septic disposal systems at the site. The results of the percolation tests are shown
on Table IL Shallow Percolation holes were dug adjacent to about half of the deeper
exploratory pits at locations as shown on Fig. 1 The test holes (nominal 12 inch diameter
by 12 inch deep) were hand dug at the bottom of shallow backhoe pits and were soaked
with water one day prior to testing. The soils exposed in the percolation holes are similar
to those exposed in the adjacent exploratory pits shown on Figs 2 and 3. The percolation
test rates varied from 11 to 40 minutes per inch with an overall average rate of 24 minutes
per inch. Conventional infiltration septic disposal systems appear feasible for the
development. Mounding or other engineered systems may be required in shallow basalt
rock areas,

report are based upon the data obtained from the field reconnaissance, review of published
geologic reports, the exploratory pits located as shown on Fig. 1, the proposed type of
construction and our experience in the area. Our findings include interpolation and
extrapolation of the subsurface conditions identified at the exploratory pits and variations
in the subsurface conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If
conditions encountered during construction appear different from those described in this
report, we should be notified so that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for planning and
preliminary design purposes. We are not responsible for technical interpretations by others
of our information. As the project evolves, we should provide continued consultation,
conduct additional evaluations and review and monitor the implementation of our
recommendations. Significant design changes rnay require additional analysis or
modifications to the recommendations presented herein, We recommend on-site
observation of excavations and foundation bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a
representative of the soil engineer.

Glenwood Springs, CO 81601
Subject: Geologic Hazards Consultation
Rural Residential Area, Filing No. 8
Los Amigos Ranch
Garfield County, Colorado
Job No. GS -2324
Gentlemen:
You asked that we review reports prepared by others that address geologic
hazards for the subject site and comment on potential hazards associated with a
landslide and two faults identified by others. This letter Is based on our review of
available published geologic maps and literature, geologic reports prepared by
others and our experience. The following paragraphs present our opinions and
recommendations concerning the landslide area and the two faults at the subject
site.
The ranch is located in the southwest part of Spring Valley in Garfield County,
Colorado. The Roaring Fork River Valley is below the site to the west. Colorado
Mountain College, Spring Valley Campus is to the east. Glenwood Springs is
approximately 6 miles to the northwest. Access is from Highway 82 to the Colorado
Mountain College Road to Los Amigos Drive.
The ranch can be visualized topographically as a gently roiling plateau. An
approximately 40 to 60 vertical feet scarp is along the west edge of the plateau that
drops down steeper slopes that slope into the Roaring Fork River Valley. Several
comparatively broad and shallow drainage basins on the plateau surface converge
into narrow drainages at the west edge of the plateau and drain down to the west.
The ranch has been used as dry land pasture. Vegetation consists of grasses,
weeds and brush with areas of pinion -juniper forest on the plateau. Larger
meadows have been cleared of brush and seeded with wheat grass to provide
forage. On the steeper slopes to the west, vegetation consists of pinion -juniper
forest.
Filing No. 8 is in the southwest part of Los Amigos Ranch below and to the

west of the plateau surface. The Rural Residential Area Is approximately 152 acres.
Plans are to construct an access road and divide the area into 3 Tots. Each lot will
be developed as a "homestead". Construction on each lot will likely include a single
family residence, guest house, barn and associated out buildings.
We reviewed a report titled "Preliminary Geotechnical Study, Proposed
Residential Development Los Amigos Ranch P.U.D., County Road 114, Garfield
County, Colorado" prepared by Hepworth Pawlak Geotechnical, inc., Job No. 196617,
dated February 14, 1997, a report titled "General and Engineering Geology and Soils,
Los Amigos Ranch Subdivision, Garfield County, Colorado" prepared by Lincoln
DeVore, Job No. GS -999, 2693, dated April 16, 1979 and several letter reports
addressing geologic hazards at the site prepared by Lincoln DeVore.
We are In general agreement with the location of the landslide and faults
identified in the HP Geotech report. We have approximated the locations of the
landslide and faults on the attached Figure 1. In our opinion, the landslide Is an
ancient feature that is stable In it's present state. For preliminary planning purposes
we believe buildings can be sited on the landslide with the following constraints:
1. Building envelopes should be limited to areas with natural grades no
sleeper than approximately 10 percent;
2. Excavations should be limited to a maximum depth of approximately
6 feet;
3. Addition of moisture to the slide mass should be minimized. Surface
drainage should be enhanced to facilitate the removal of surface run-
off from the slide mass. Drainage channels where surface drainage
is concentrated or conveyed across or around the landslide mass
should be lined to reduce the amount of infiltration.
The approximate locations of the faults is shown on Figure 1. These faults
may be active. We recommend that buildings not be sited on the faults. It would
be appropriate for roadways to cross the faults, however, movement of the faults
could result in a need for some amount of regrading. For preliminary purposes we
believe a setback of approximately 100 horizontal feet from the faults for the siting
of buildings would be appropriate.
We understand that building envelopes are to be sited adjacent the top of the
vertical scarp along the south edge of the plateau. We recommend a minimum
setback for the building envelopes equal to at least the height of the scarp at a point
nearest the building envelope.
The recommendations presented herein are preliminary and intended to aid
the developer in developing the preliminary plat. We are in progress of completing
more detailed studies to develop our final recommendations to be utilized in

developing the final plat. The recommendations could be different than these
presented in this letter. In our opinion there is sufficient area on each lot shown on
the preliminary plat we reviewed to allow residential development as proposed.

As requested, we performed a preliminary radiation survey at Los Amigos
Ranch in Garfield County, Colorado. This letter describes the site and our survey
procedure and presents the results of our radiation survey.
The site is located in the southwest part of Spring Valley in Garfield County,
Colorado. The roaring Fork River Valley is below the site to the west. Colorado
Mountain College, Spring Valley Campus is to the east. Glenwood Springs is
approximately 6 miles to the northwest. Access is from Highway 82 to the Colorado
Mountain College Road to Los Amigos Drive.
The site can be visualized topographically as a gently rolling plateau. Several
comparatively broad and shallow drainage basins on the plateau surface converge
into narrow drainages at the west edge of the plateau and drain down to the west.
The site has been used as dry land pasture. Vegetation consists of grasses, weeds
and brush with areas of pinion juniper forest on the plateau. Larger meadows have
been cleared of brush and seeded with wheat grass to provide forage. On the
steeper slopes to the west, vegetation consists of pinion, juniper forest.
The area to be developed is located on the plateau surface. Plans are to
develop 158 lots with an average size of approximately 3.5 acres for single family
residences. Much of the property will be open space. A rural residential parcel of
approximately 150 acres will be in the southwest part of the development.
On November 17, 1997 our engineering geologist, Mr. "Liv'' Bowden visited
the site and performed a radiation survey. Our survey consisted of spot checking
radiation measurements at widely spaced locations across areas to be developed
on the plateau. The ground surface was covered with approximately 2 to 4 inches
of snow which had melted to leave small patches of bare ground. Our radiation
measurements were taken at areas of bare ground to avoid the readings being
lowered as a result of shielding by snow cover. The radiation measurements were
taken with a Ludlum instruments, Inc. Model No. 19 Micro -R -Meter carried at arms
length (approximately 2 feet above the ground surface). We observed radiation

County, Colorado" prepared by Hepworth Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc., Job No. 196617,
dated February 14,1997, a report titled "General and Engineering Geology and Soils,
Los Amigos Ranch Subdivision, Garfield County, Colorado" prepared by Lincoln
DeVore, Job No, GS -999, 2693, dated April 16, 1979 and several letter reports
addressing geologic hazards at the site prepared by Lincoln DeVore,
We are in general agreement with the location of the landslide identified in
the HP Geotech report. In our opinion, the landslide is an ancient feature that is
stable in it's present state. Site specific slope stability analyses should be
performed to better define the slide and its affects on (residential lot development)
development. We observed potential rockfall hazards below a rock outcrop scarp
along the west edge of the plateau. We qualitatively rate the degree of rockfall
hazard as low to moderate. Most of the development avoids the rockfall hazard by
being sited on the plateau above the hazard. A "rural residential area" is below the
rock outcrop. We recommend buildings be sited beyond the rockfall Hazard
boundary. A site specific rockfall hazard analysis will need to be performed to
establish the rocktall hazard boundary.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project. If you have
any questions, please call at your convenience.
Very truly yours,

This report gives estimates of various soil features. The estimates are used in land use Planning that involves
engineering considerations.
Death to bedrock is given if bedrock is within a death of 5 feet. The depth is based on many soil borings and on
observations during soil napping. The rock is either 'Soft' or 'Hard', If the rock is 'Soft' or fractured, excavations
can be made with trenching machines, backhoas, or small rippers. If the rock is 'Hard' or oassive, blasting or
special equipment generally is needed for excavation.
Cemented pars are cemented or indurated subsurface layers +:ithir, a deatt, of 5 fret, Such pars cause difficulty in
excavation. Pans are classified as 'Thin' or 'Thick'. A 'Thin' pan is less than 3 inches thick if contin;,oas?y
indurated or less than 1$ inches thick if discontinuous or fractured. Exca4 tire., can be .wade by trehchinc mach nes,
backhoe,, o:' sn?: r,pGe"s. A 'T•`ick. par is more than 3 intoe thick if continuously indurated or more thaa lE
inches thick if discontinuous or fractured, Such a par is sc thick or massive that blasting or special equipment is
needed in excetaa.`icn.

This report shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect shallow excavations, dwellings with: and without
basements, small commercial buildings, local roads and streets, and lawns and landscaoin9. The limitations are
'Slight', 'Moderate', or 'Severe'. The limitations are considered 'SI_get' if soil properties ar:d site features are
generally favorable for the indicated use and limitaions are minor and easily overcame; 'Moderate' :f soil prpperties
or site features are not favorable for the indicated use and special planning, design, or maintenance is needed to
overcome or minimise the limitations; and 'Severe' if soil properties or site features are so unfavorable or so
difficult to overcome that special design, significant irc"eases in construatton costs, and passibly 1nc+'eesed
maintenance are required, Special feasibility studies may be required where the soil limitations are leve -e.
SHALLGS' EXCAVATIONS are trenches or holes dug to a maximum: depth of 5 or 6 feet for basements, 9 -ave s, utility :'.nes,
oper ditches, and other purposes. The ratings are based as s':l properties, site features_. and otserved performance of

'Good', 'Fair', or 'Poor' as a source of roadfill and toasoi;. They are rat as a 'Probable' or 'IRp�vtuatle'
source of said and gravel. The ratings are based on soil properties and site features that affect the removal of the
soil and its use as construction material, Normal compaction, minor Processing, and other standard construction
Practices are assumed. Each soil is evaluated to a depth of 5 or 6 feet.
Roadfill is soil material that is excavated in one place and used in road embankments in another place. In this repo-:,
the soils are rated as a source of roadfill for low embankments, generailY less than 6 feet high and less
exacting in design than higher eaba°•l;cents. The ratings are for the soil materia: below the surface layer to a
death of 5 or 6 feet. It is assumed that soi: layers will be mixed during excavating and spreading. Many soils have

j Endnote -- RANGELAND PRODUCTIVITY AND CHRACTERISTIC PLANT COMMUNITIES
In areas that have similar climate and topography, differences it the kind and amount of vegetation produced on
rangeland are closely related to the kind of soil. Effective management is based on the relationship between
the soils and vegetation and water. This report shows, for each soil, the range site; the total annual
production of vegetation in favorable, normal, and unfavorable years; the characteristic vegetation; and the
average percentage of each species. Only those soils that are used as rangeland or are suited to use as
rangeland are listed. An explanation of the column headings in this report follows.
RANGE SITE is a distinctive kind of rangeland that produces a characteristic natural plant community that
1. differs from natural plant communities on other range sites in kind, amount and proportion of range plants.
The reiationshio betweeen soils and vegetation was ascertained curing this survey; thus, range sites generally
can be determined directly fror t'xe soil map. Sol: properties that affect noistare surely and plant nutrients
have the greatest influence or the productivity of range plants. Soil reactior, salt content, and a seasonal
3 high nater tette are also imocrtant.
TOTAL PRODUCTION is the amount of vegetation that can be expected to grow annually on well managed rangeland
that is supporting the potential natural plant community. It in,ludes al: vegetation, whether or not it is
Palatable to grazing animals. It includes the current year's growth of leaves, twigs, and fruit: of w•aody
plants. It does not include the increase in stet diareter of trees and shrubs.
It is ex.'•essed in Pounds pe' acre of sir -dry vegetation far favorable, normal, and unfavorable )'ears. In a

Soils affect the kind and amount of vegetation that is available to wildlife as food and cover. They alio affect
the construction of water impoundments. The kind and abundance of wildlife depend largely on the amour,', and
distribution of food, cover, and water. Wildlife habitat can be created or improved by planting appropriate
vegetation, by maintaining the existing plant Cover, or by promoting the natural establishment of desirable plants.
In this report the soils are rated according to their potential for providing habitat for various kinds of
wildlife. This information can be used in manning parks, wildlife refuges, nature stud), areas, and other developments
for wild'.-i,fe in selecting Soils that are suitable for establishing, improving, cr maintaining specific eletents of
wildlife habitat; and in determining the intensity of management needed for each element of the habitat. The
potential of the soil is rated 'Good,' Fair,' 'Poor,' or 'Very poor.' A rating of 'Good' indicates that the element
or kind of habitat is easily established, improved, or maintained, Feu or no lisitatir'`1s af`ect management, ant
satisfactory results can be esoe;:ted, A rating of `Fair' i di.ates that the element or kind of habitat can be
established, improved, or maintained it most places. Moderately intensive management is reouire.d for yetis€actore
results. A rating of 'Poor' indicates that limitations are sev'er'e far the designated element or kind of habitat.
Habitat can be created, improved, or mairtainet in most Places, but management is difficult and must be intensive.
A rating of 'Vern poor` indicates that restrictiv's for the element or kind of habitat are very severe and that
unsatisfactory results can be expected, Creating, imr.tving, or maintaining habitat is impractical or

This report shows estimates of some characteristic: and features that affect soil behavior.
These estimates are given for the major layers of each soil in the survey area. The estimates
are based on field observations and on test data for these and similar soils.
CLAY as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0.002
millimeter in diameter. In this report, the estimated clay content of each valor sal: layer
is given as a percentage, by Weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in
diameter. The amount and kind of clay greatly affect the fertility and physical condition of
the soil. They determine the ability of the soil to adsort cations and to retain moisture.
They influence shrink -swell potential. Permeability, and plasticity, the ease of sci:
dispersion, and other soil properties. The amount and kind of clay in a soil also affect
tillage and ea -thea inc operations.

ORGANIC MATTER is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of decomposition. In report J.
the estimated content of organic matter is expressed as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is
less than 2 millimeters in diameter. The content of organic matter in a soil can be maintained or increased by
returning crop residue to the soil, Organic matter affects the available water capacity, infiltration rate, and
tilth. It is a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for crops.
EROSION FACTOR K indicates the susceptibility of the whole soil (including rocas and rock fragments? to
sheet and rill erosion by water. Factor K is one of six factors used it the Universal Soil Loss Equation (11SLE)
to predict the average annual rate of sail loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year. The
estimates are based crir;arilr on percentage of silt, sand, and organic matter (up to 4 percent) and on soi!
structure and permeability. Values of K range frog: 0.05 to 0.69. The higher the value, the rano;•e s.yscectibie

This reocrt gives estimates of various soil water features. The estimates are used in land use p riling that involves
engineering considerations.
Hydrologic soil groups are used to estimate runoff from precipitation. Soils not orotected by vegetation ere
assigned to one of four groups, They are grouped according to the infiltration of water when the soils are thoroughly
vet and receive precipitation from long -duration storms. The fov. hydrclogi:cigroWDS are:
Group A. Soils having a high infiitration rate {lei

of deep, vell drained to ercessivelv drained sands or

Information on the extent of flooding based on soil data is less specific than that Provided by detailed engineering
surveys that delineate flood-arone areas at specific flood freouenfy levels.
Nigh water table (seasonal) is the highest level of a saturated zone in the soil in most years. The dept!: to a
seasonal high water table applies to und"ained soils. The estimates are based meir1y on the evidence of a saturated
zone, namely grayish colors or crottles in the soil. Indicated in this report are the depth to thr seasonal high
water table; the kind of water table, that is, 'Apparent., 'Artesian', or 'Perched'; and the months of the year that
the water table CCmc:only ;s high. 4 voter table that is seasonally high for less than 1 month is not indicate( in
this report.
An 'Apparent' water table is a thick zone of free water ir, the soil. It is iqicated by the level et which water
stands it an incased borehole after 3deo'late time is al s'.er for ad) .tne::t in the surrounding soil,
An 'Artesian' water table exists under a hydrostatic beneath an impermeable layer. When the i:rPeraeable layer has been
Penetrated by a cesed boreh le., the welter rises. The final level of the water in the Gases bo"ehGie is characterized as
an 5rtesiar water lade.

This rerort gives estimates of various soil featdres. The estimates are used in land use planning that involves
engineering considerations.
Deoth to bedroct is given if bedrock is within e depth of 5 feet, The depth is based on many soil borings and on
observations during soil mooing. The rock is either 'Soft' or 'Hard'. If the rock is 'Solt' or fractured, excavations
can be made with trenching machines, backhots, or small rippers. If the rock is 'Hard' or massive, blastingor
sPecia; eouipment generally is needed for. excavation.
Cemented pans are cemented or indurated subsurface layers within 8 depth of 5 feet. Sdch or cause dif'iculty in
excavation. Pans are classified as 'Thin' or 'Thick'. A 'Thir' par is less than 3 inches thick if continuously
indurated or iess then IF inches thiel if discontinuous or frectved. Exteratins can be made ty trenching machines,
oackhoes, or stall rieners. A 'Thick" pan is more than 3 inches thick if cortinuously indurated Cr.more the:- l6
inches this/. i' discontin.J.%s sr freotoel. Such a pan is so tt,ick or massive that blasting or special eouippent is
needed in excavotior.
Subsidence is the settlement of organic soils or of satrate?f. mirera: soils of very lov dersity. Subsidence
results from either desiccation and shrinkage or oxidation of orgehic terial, or both, fcltov!ng draintm

Particle -size distribution, acidity, and electrical conductivity of ti soil. The rate of corrosisn of concrete
is boset meirly on the. sulfate ad stir content, textune, moisture content, and acidity of the SPecial
site examination and design may be needed if the toTbinatior of factors creates a severe corrosion environment. The steel

This report shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect septic tank absorption fields, sewage lagoons,
and sanitary landfills. The limitations are considered 'Slight' if soil properties and site features generally are
favorable for the indicated use and limitations are minor and easily overcome; 'Moderate' if soil properties or site
features are not favorable for the indicated use and special planning, design, or maintenance is needed to overcome or
minimize the limitations; and 'Severe' if soil properties or site features are so unfavorable or so difficult to overcome
that special design, significant increases in Gonstructior costs, and Poesitly increased maintenance are required.
This report also shows the suitability of the soils for use as daily cover for landfills. A rating of 'Good' indicates
that soil properties and site features are favorable for the use and good perfornarce and low maintenance con be
expected; 'Fair' indicates that soil properties and site features are moderately favorable for the use and one or
more soil properties or site features make the soil less desirable than the soils rated 'Good'; and 'Poor' inaicatts
that one or were soil properties or s;'.e features are unfavorable for the use arc overcoming the unfavorable
properties reouires special design., extra maintenance, or costly alteration.
SEPTIC TANK ABSORPTION FIELDS are areas in which effluent from e septic tank is distributed into the soil through:
subsurface tiles or Perforated Dire. Only the Da-' of the soil t+etweer deoths of 24 t; 72 inches. is evaluated. The
ratings are base o''. soil P-ooe"t_es, Site f ate; ?s, and observed D£rf mance of the soils. Permeability, a high
water table, depth to bed'ock or to a cemented pat:, and flooding affect absorption of the effluent. Large stones

highly organic layers, soil reaction, and content of salts and sodium affect trench type landfills. Unless otherwise
stated, the ratings apply only to that part of the soil within a depth of about 6 feet. For deeper trenches, e
limi`etion rate 'Slight' or 'Moderate' may not be valid. Onsite investigation is needed.
CAI'_Y COVER FOR LANDFILL is the soil material that is used to cover compacted so:id waste in an area type sanitary
landfill. The soil material is obtained offsite, transported to the landfill, and spread over the waste.
1 Soil texture, wetness, coarse fragments, and slope affect the ease of removing and spreading the taterial during wet

This report shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect shallow excavations, dwellings with and without
basements, small commercial buildings, local roads and streets, and lawns and landscaping. The limitations are
'Slight', 'Moderate', or 'Severe'. The limitations are consideeed 'Slight' if soil properties and site features are
generally favorable for the indicated use and limitaions are minor and easily overcome; 'Moderate' if soil properties
or site features are not favorable for the indicated use and special planning, design, or maintenance is needed to
overcome or minimize the limitations; and 'Seveee' if soil properties or site features are so unfavorable or so
difficult to overcome that special design, significant increase_ it construction costs, and possibly increased
maintenance are required. Special feasibility studies may be required where the sail limitations are severe.
SHALLOW EXCAVATIONS are trenches or holes dug to a maximums dept! of 5 or b feet for basements, graves, utility lines,
open ditches, and other purposes, Tha ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of
the soils. The ease of digging, filling, and compacting is affected by the dept:: to bedrock, a cemented pan, or a very
firm dense layer; stone content; soil texture; and slope. Tha time of the year that excavations can be made is
affected by the deet' tm a seasonal high water tar1e and the susceptibility of the soil to flooding. The resistance of
the excavation walls or bards to slougt,ine or cavioc :s affected by sail texture and the dept', to the water table..

This report gives information about the soils as a source of roadfill, sand, gravel, and topsoil. The soils are rated
'Good', 'Fair', or 'Poor' as a source of roadfill and topsoil. They are rated as a 'Probable' or 'Inprobatle'
source of sand and gravel. The ratings are based on soil properties and site features that affect the removal of the
soil and its use as construction material. Normal compaction, minor processing, and other standard construction
practices are assumed. Each soil is evaluated to a depth of 5 or b feet.
Roadf ll is soil material that is excavated in one place and used in road embankments in another place. In this report,
the soils are rated as a source of roadfill for low embankments, generally less than 6 feet high and less
exacting in design: than higher embankments. The ratings art fa- the soil material below the surface layer to a
death of 5 or 6 feet. It is assumed that soil layers will be mixed during excavating and spreading. any spins have
layer': of contrasting suitability within their profile. The report entitled Ergiree-ins Index Properties is also available
and it provides detailed information about each soil layer. This information car, help determine the suitability of each
layer for use as roadfill. The performance of soil alta' it is stabilized with lime or cement is not considered in
the ratir gs.
The ratings are based or soil properties, sit`. features, and etserved performance of the soils. The triekness o`
suitable material is a major consideraticr. The ease if excavatier .s affected t') ia`gt stance; a high water tay.e,

layers of suitatle material, but the material is less than 3 feet thick.
San -elle and grave; ale natural aggregates suitable for cowmeecia: use with a ainir,r of processin;. nand and
gravel are used in many kinds of construction. Soecifications for each use vary widely, In this report only
the probability of finding material in suitable ouartitr is evaluated. The s;.itability of the materia: for specific
purposes is not evaluated, nor are factors that affect excavation of the material. The properties lased to evaluate
the sail as a source of sand or gravel are g ed tion of grain sizes (as indicated by the engineering classifi_ation

In areas that have similar climate and topography, differences in the kind and amount of vegetation produ,ed on
rangeland are closely related to the kind of soil, Effective management is based on the relationship between
the soils and vegetation and later. This report shows, for each soil, the range site; the total annual
production of vegetation, in favorable, normal, and unfavorable years; the characteristic vegetation; and the
average percentage of each species. Only those sails that are used as rangeland or are suited to use as
rangeland are listed. An explanation of the column headings in this report follows.
RANGE SITE is a distinctive kind of rangeland that produces a characteristic natural plant community that
differs from natural plant communities an other range sites in kind, amount and proportion of range plants.
The relationship betweeen soils and vegetation was ascertained during this survey; thus, range sites generally
car be determined directly from the soil map. Soil properties that affect moisture supply and plant nutrients
have the greatest influence or; the productivity of range Plants. Soil reaction, salt content, and a seasonal
high water table ere also important.
TOTAL PRODUCTION is the amount of vegetation that car be expected to grew annually on well managed range:ar.
that is suoportine the potential natural plant community. It includes all vegetation, whether or not it is
ceiatable to grazing animals. :t includes the current year's crouth of :eaves, twigs, and fruits of woody
Plants. It does not include the increase in stew diameter of trees and shrubs.
It it eypressed in pounds per acre of air-dry vegetation for favorable, norx,al, and vnfavcratte years. In g

Sols affect the kind and amount of vegetation that is available to wildlife as food and cover. They aisc afft:t
the construction of water impoundments. The kind and abundance of wildlife depend largely on the amo'.r,t ane
distribution of food, cover, and water. Wildlife habitat can be created or improved by planting appropriate
? vegetation, by maintaining the existing plant cover, or by promoting the natural establishment of desirable plants.
to
in this report the soils are rated according to their potential for providing habitat for various kinds of
wildlife. This information can be used in planning parks, wildlife refuges, nature study areas, and other developments
4 for wildlife; in selecting soils that are suitable for establishing, improving, or maintaining specific elements of
wildlife habitat; and in determining the intensity of management needed for each element of the habitat, Th:
pot:tial of the soil is rated 'Good,' 'Fair,' 'Poor,' or 'Ver. ,• poor,' A rating of 'Good' indicates that the element
or kind of habitat is easily established, improved, or maintained. re, or no ?imitations affect rra'la?ement,
satisfactory results can be expected, A ratir,9 of 'Fair' indicates that the element or kind of habitat can be

This report shows estimates of some characteristics and features that affect soil behavior.
These estimates are given for the major layers of each soil in the survey area. The estimates
are based on field observations and on test data for these and similar soils.
CLAY as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0.002
A millimeter in diameter. In this report, the estimated clay content of each major sci: layer
O., O., is given as a Percentage, by weight, of the soil mel eria: that is less than, 2 millimeters in
diameter. The amount and kind of clay greatly affect the fertility and physical condition of
the soil. They determine the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and to retain moisture.
They influence shrtnk-dwell ootentia1. permeability, and elasticity, the ease of soli
dispertior, and other soil properties. The apoul1 an,: kin,f. of 1,' -lax in a soil also a fec.`

ORGANIC BATTER is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of decomposition. In report a,
the estimated content of organic matter is expressed as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is
less than 2 millimeters in diameter, The content of organic matter in a soil can be maintained or increased by
returning crop residue to the soil. Organic matter affects the available water capacity, infiltration, rate, and
tilt). It is a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for crops.
EROSION FACTOR K indicates the susceptiility of the whole soil (including rocks and rock fragments) to
sheet and rill erosion by water. Factor K is one of sir factors used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)
to predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and riii erosion in tors per acre per year. The

RE: Filings 6A, EIk Springs Subdivision
SIA Cost Estimates/Certification of Public Improvements
Dear Larry:
This letter serves to transmit engineering cost estimates for future public improvements
associated with this Final Plat application.
Filing 6A
This is the 5 -acre "Neighborhood Commercial" lot located north of CR 114 between the Elk
Springs main entrance and Auburn Ridge Road. This parcel is being Final Platted now to
facilitate sale but will again have to go thru the Garfield County Preliminary/Final Plat process
prior to development or re -subdivision. Our obligation now is to provide access and utility
service to the parcel.
Access is facilitated by CR 114. An 8" sanitary sewer line will be constructed in the old CR 114
ROW north of the current road. A 2" steel gas line, 3-phase electric line and telephone lines are
located in the Auburn Ridge Road ROW at the intersection w. CR 114 just east of the Parcel. An
existing water service from the 8" line in Auburn Ridge Road is stubbed into the parcel as shown.
Refer to the attached Filing 6A SIA Cost Estimate.
I trust this is sufficient for your needs to document the status of the necessary infrastructure for
Filing 6A, Elk Springs Subdivision.
Respectfully submitted,

RE: Filing 8 — Phase 2, Elk Springs Subdivision
SIA Cost Estimate/Certification of Public Improvements
Dear Larry:
This letter serves to transmit engineering cost estimates for future public improvements and
provide documentation for the completed infrastructure associated with this Final Plat
application.
Filing 8- Phase 2
These are the three 35+ acre Rural Residential lots south of Filing 8 accessed by Juniper Drive.
Utility construction was completed by Dow Construction as documented in the attachments to
the July 25, 2007 Dean Gordon, P.E letter to you (attached). Juniper Drive was reconstructed
this past summer and fall as documented by the attached invoices from GMCO and GNPeters
that indicate over $200k was spent improving the road. H -P Geotech did construction testing
and oversaw the work. Refer to their summary letter also attached.
These lots will be served by Individual Septic Disposal Systems (ISDS) as approved by Garfield
County Resolution 99-102. All other infrastructure is in place and no costs are necessary for SIA
security purposes.
Filing 8- Phase 2 - SIR Cost Estimate = $0 (all work completed).
I have reviewed the status of previously -constructed public improvements for this project. Those
improvements would generally consist of the construction of utilities and roadway improvements
within Elk Springs, consistent with prior Preliminary Plan approvals and the Record Maps for
water and sewer and the Preliminary Plan for roads submitted with this application for Final Plat
approval for Elk Springs.
Attached hereto are letters from Dean Gordon, P.E., Dow Construction, the contractor of record;
H -P Geotech, referencing compaction testing and site observation; and Mr. Gary McElwee,

RE: Constnctiorr Procedures for Utility Trenches and Road Construction in
Filings 5,6,7,8 & 9.
After a right ofway has been flagged, we begin by the clearing of trees and brush.
Then topsoil is stockpiled or placed at the side of the roadway. After clearing and
grubbing a road surface was established by cutting and filling as required. Equipment
utilized: Bulldozers. Excavators, Loaders, sheep foot and smooth drum rollers, water
trucks, dump trucks, etc. Fills were placed in approximately 1 foot loose lifts and
compacted to at least 95 % standard proctor density. The firm ofH-P Geo -tech was hired
to establish water vonteaat and compactive effort needed to achieve this. Due to the rocky
environment borrow pits were established_ This was necessary to produce fines. Fines
were used t4 establish a satisfactory road bed. The borrow pits were then used as a bairn
area for clearing debris and a bury pit for oversize boulders. The pits were then covered
with sail and revegitated, After a roadbed had been established, utility consul:Won
began. Utility trench locations were established. A bulldozer with a 42" ripper followed
the aligunent making a trench that was thea filled with water The water truck was
equipped with a special nozzle fabricated to eject water directly into the trench, This
procedure greatly enhanced the mixing of earth and water for the backfilling procedure.
After er the pipe and fittings were placed, the pipe was bedded in a special material free of
rocks greater than 34" in size. A 1 foot layer of this bedding was placed and compacted.
Compaction procedures were f equenily tvslcd try geo-techs to assure moisture content
and soil density. After the bedding procedure was completed additional utilities were
then placed and the above mentioned bedding technique was repeated. After all utilities
were installed, the remainder of the trench was backfilled using the same method. When
the utilities have been constructed, tested, and approved by the proper experts, the road

bed was reestablished. This is achieved by scarifying, watering, and rolling. Ail top
wiling and dean up effort occur at this time. Before gravel placement begins, a proof
roll test is performed in the presence ofa geo-tech or engineer. This is accomplished by
ubservics the road surfer under the wheels of a fully loaded dap truck or watertruck_
If any movement is noted the area is marked and reworked until the failure is remedied.
After the proof roll is approved, the gravel placement will begin A filter fabric was
placed between the sub -grade and gravel, It is placed between the sub -grade and the road
base to prevent integration. The filter fabric is rolled out in front of the trucks dumping
gravel. The fabric is held in place by grade snakes. The grade stakes provide alignment
and elevation location. The gravel is manipulated into place by a motor grader, toilers
and waxer trucks. The goal i; to achieve 5moothnese, grade, slope, drainage and density
to make an all weather surface. Again a geo-tech is used to assure moisture content and
density. Be assured that every effort was made to assure a quality and safe product to the
best of 01.11" ability.

Subject: Final Testing and Observation Results, Filings 7, 8, and 9, Elk Springs Subdivision,
County Road 114, Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Greg:
As requested, HP Geotech visited the site and performed in-place density testing and observed the
roadways at base course grade on June 11, 2004.
Six density tests were performed and all tests met the Project minimum density of 95% standard Proctor
density. The base course was then dug up at the test locations to expose subgrade soil and the depth
measured. Again, all locations met or exceeded the minimum required base course depth of 8 inches.
During our visit the gravel roadway surface was observed for signs of instability such as rutting, and
cracking. No signs of instability were noted. HP Geotech also performed compaction testing and
observation during infrastructure construction. These reports have been previously submitted.
Based on our test results and observations, it appears that the roadway construction should perform as
intended.
If you have any questions, please call this office.
Sincerely,

Project No. 110 200A
Subject: Summary of Construction Observations and Materials Testing, Juniper
Drive Roadway Reconstruction, Filing 8, Phase 2, Elk Springs, Garfield
County, Colorado
Dear Mr. McElwee:
Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. (HP Geotech) provided observation and materials
testing services for subgrade and aggregate base course during construction of the above -
referenced project. Our field services for the construction began on September 1, 2010
and continued on an as -requested basis through to completion of aggregate base course
placement on September 21, 2010. Our services were performed under the direction of
the undersigned licensed engineer registered in the State of Colorado. During
construction, applicable testing and observation reports were prepared and have been
distributed under separate cover. We previously performed an evaluation of the roadway
subgrade and presented our findings and recommendations in a report dated July 22, 2010,
under our Job Number 110200A.
At the time °four September 1 site visit, the existing aggregate base course had been
removed and stockpiled. The subgrade soils had reportedly been scarified about one foot
deep and then re -compacted using a vibratory pad foot roller. We observed proof rolling
of the subgrade using a loaded dump truck. Areas that deflected excessively were marked
for repair. We recommended that the marked areas be sub -excavated at least one foot and
replaced with compacted granular import or suitably conditioned and compacted on site
material as necessary to provide a stable subgrade. On September 7 we observed that the
marked areas had been sub -excavated as reconunended, and on September 8 we observed
placement of 3 inch minus aggregate base course in progress in some of the sub -excavated
areas. On September 13 we observed that the previously sub -excavated areas had been
backfilled and compacted. About six additional areas that reportedly exhibited excessive
deflection under truck traffic had also been sub -excavated. One sample of the subgrade
and one sample of the stockpiled Class 6 aggregate base course were obtained and tested
for laboratory Proctor compaction. grain size distribution, and plasticity index. Laboratory
test results indicated the aggregate base course was in compliance with CDOT Class 6
Elk Springs, LLC

aggregate base course specifications for the tests performed. Field compaction testing was
performed on the subgrade on September 14 which indicated that the subgrade was
compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor density (ASTM D 698), in
compliance with our recommendations.- No areas of apparent excessive deflection were
observed and we judged the subgrade to be suitable for placement of geogrid and
aggregate base course as recommended in our previous report. On September 21, we
performed field compaction testing at aggregate base course grade which indicated that the
aggregate base course was compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor density, in
compliance with our recommendations.
Based on our observations during the construction and results of our testing, the subgrade
and aggregate base course as constructed for the project were in substantial compliance
with our recommendations and applicable Garfield County specifications.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call our office.
Sincerely,
HEPWORTH - PAWLAK GEOTECHNICAL, INC.

LANDSCAPE PLAN, OPEN SPACE PLAN
AND OPEN SPACE MANAGEMENT PLAN
As it's Landscape Plan for the subject Final Plats, Applicant states that no landscaping or
trees of 6 inch caliper or greater will be removed or added as a result of the approval of the
within Final Plats. This is due primarily to the fact that virtually all of the subdivision
improvements, except for the short extension of Kingbird Drive in Filing 9 and the installation of
the sewer line in Filing 6A, have already been completed, and secondarily to the fact that the size
and design of the Elk Springs project provides for minimal impact to existing vegetation.
Removal or addition of trees and other vegetation on individual lots, as well as the maintenance
thereof, is considered by the Architectural Control Committee at the time a residence is proposed
for construction. Subject to the requirement to create a defensible space around each home, the
location of the building envelopes on each lot and architectural guidelines of Elk Springs
strongly encourage that all existing vegetation on a lot be retained to the greatest extent
practicable.
Upon approval of the within Final Plats, and the concurrent dedication of the open space
within those Filings, there will be over 1,150 acres of open space within Elk Springs. This open
space consists Iargely of broad areas of naturally occurring forest lands or open grassland. These
open space areas are kept in their natural condition and no improvements are made, except for
the designation of soft surface biking and hiking
system within the open space in Filings 1 through 8 will be extended ttothein�open sking paaced�king containedtra
in Filing 8, Phase 2, Filing 9 and Filing 10. p
To the extent maintenance is required in these natural, open areas, the Elk Springs
Homeowners' Association is responsible for such maintenance. There is currently a program in
place for the annual treatment of all open space areas for weed control. This program will be
extended to the open space areas that are being dedicated to the Homeowners' Association
within the subject Final Flats.

9. INDEMNITY. The Owner shall indemnify and hold the BOCC harrnless and defend
the BOCC from all claims which may arise as a result of the Owner's installation of the Subdivision
Improvements including revegetation and any other agreement or obligation of Owner, related to
development of the Subdivision, required pursuant to this SIA. The Owner, however, does not
indemnify the BOCC for claims made asserting that the standards imposed by the BOCC are
13
improper or are the cause of the injury asserted, or from claims which may arise from the negligent
acts or omissions of the BOCC or its employees. The BOCC shall notify the Owner of receipt by the
BOCC of a notice of claim or a notice of intent to sue, and the BOCC shall afford the Owner the
option of defending any such claim or action. Failure to notify and provide such written option to
the Owner shall extinguish the BOCC's rights under this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to constitute a waiver of governmental immunity granted to the BOCC by Colorado
statutes and case law.
10. ROAD IMPACT FEE. Pursuant to Paragraph 3 of Garfield County Resolution 98-
30, the Preliminary Plan Approval, the BOCC has established a Road Impact fee of Two Hundred
and No/100ths Dollars ($200.00) for each lot within the Subdivision. There is 1 lot within the Final
Plat. Therefore, Owner shall pay Two Hundred and No/100ths Dollars (S200.00) to the Garfield
County Treasurer at or prior to the time of recording of the Final Plat.
11 FEES IN LIEU OF DEDICATION OF SCHOOL LAND. Condition 20 of the
PUD Approval required Owner to convey an identified School Site Parcel to the RE -i School
District in full satisfaction of all obligations for dedication of land or payment of fees in lieu thereof
for the Los Amigos Ranch PUD. Owner conveyed the School Site Parcel to the RE -1 School
District by Special Warranty Deed dated May 9, 2007, recorded on May 15, 2006, at Reception No.
723310 of the Garfield County real estate records. Thus, Owner and BOCC agree that Owner has
fully satisfied its obligations to the RE -1 School District and no fee is due from Owner for this Final
Plat.
All property within Elk Springs which was not previously within the municipal boundaries of
the Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District was included within the District pursuant to its
Resolution No. 005, Series of 2000. The Owner shall comply with all requirements of said
14
Resolution No. 005, Series of 2000 which include the obligation to pay applicable impact fees for
commercial property within the Fire District.
12. SALE OF LOTS. No lots, tracts, or parcels within the Subdivision may be
separately conveyed prior to recording of the Final Plat in the records of the Garfield County Clerk
and Recorder.
13. BUILDING PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. As one
remedy for breach of this SIA, including failure to satisfy requirements of the Preliminary Plan
Approval, the BOCC may withhold issuance ofbuilding permits for any residence or other habitable
structure to be constructed within the Subdivision. No certificates of occupancy shall issue for any
habitable building or structure, including residences, within the Subdivision until all Subdivision
Improvements, except revegetation, have been completed and are operational and all requirements of
the Preliminary Plan Approval have been satisfied as required by this SIA.
14. CONSENT TO VACATE PLAT. In the event the Owner fails to comply with the
terms of this SIA, the BOCC shall have the ability to vacate the Final Plat as it pertains to any lots
for which building permits have not been issued. As to lots for which building permits have been
issued, the Plat shall not be vacated and shall remain valid. In such event, the Owner shall provide
the BOCC a plat, suitable for recording, showing the location by surveyed legal description of any
portion of the Final Plat so vacated by action of the BOCC. If such a Plat is not signed by the BOCC
and recorded, or if such Plat is not provided by the Owner, the BOCC may vacate the Final Plat, or
portions thereof, by resolution.
15. ENFORCEMENT. In addition to any rights provided by Colorado statute, the
withholding of building permits and certificates of occupancy, provided for in paragraph 13, above,
the provisions for release of security, detailed in paragraph 3, above, and the provisions for plat
15
vacation, detailed in paragraph 14, above, it is mutually agreed by the BOCC and the Owner, that the
BOCC, without making an election of remedies, and any purchaser of any lot within the Subdivision
shall have the authority to bring an action in the Garfield County District Court to compel
enforcement ofthis SIA. Nothing in this SIA, however, shall be interpreted to require the BOCC to
bring an action for enforcement or to withhold permits or certificates or to withdraw unused security
or to vacate the Final Plat or a portion thereof, nor shall this paragraph or any other provision ofthis
SIA be interpreted to permit the purchaser of a lot to file an action against the BOCC. In addition,
the BOCC may, but shall not be required to, pursue any of its enforcement remedies as applicable,
pursuant to Article XII of the Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, as amended.
16. NOTICE BY RECORDATION. This SIA shall be recorded in the Office of the
Garfield County Clerk and Recorder and shall be a covenant running with title to all lots, tracts and

RE: Filings 6A, Elk Springs Subdivision
SIA Cost Estimates/Certification of Public Improvements
Dear Larry:
This letter serves to transmit engineering cost estimates for future public improvements
associated with this Final Plat application.
Filing 6A
This is the 5 -acre "Neighborhood Commercial" lot located north of CR 114 between the Elk
Springs main entrance and Auburn Ridge Road. This parcel is being Final Platted now to
facilitate sale but will again have to go thru the Garfield County Preliminary/Final Plat process
prior to development or re -subdivision. Our obligation now is to provide access and utility
service to the parcel.
Access is facilitated by CR 114. An 8" sanitary sewer line will be constructed in the old CR 114
ROW north of the current road. A 2" steel gas line, 3-phase electric line and telephone lines are
located in the Auburn Ridge Road ROW at the intersection w. CR 114 just east of the Parcel. An
existing water service from the 8" line in Auburn Ridge Road is stubbed into the parcel as shown.
Refer to the attached Filing 6A SIA Cost Estimate.
I trust this is sufficient for your needs to document the status of the necessary infrastructure for
Filing 6A, Elk Springs Subdivision.
Respectfully submitted,

not subject to successive partial releases, as authorized in paragraph 3.e., above. Further, the
Revegetation LOC and the BOCC's associated rights to withdraw funds and bring a court action may
survive final release of the LOC securing other Subdivision Improvements, defined in paragraph
3.a., above.
e. BOCC's Completion of Revegetation and Other Remedies. If Owner's
revegetation efforts are deemed by the BOCC to be unsuccessful, in the sole opinion of the BOCC
upon the recommendation of the Vegetation Management Department, or if the BOCC determines
that the Owner will not or cannot complete revegetation, the BOCC, in its discretion, may withdraw
11
and employ from the Revegetation LOC such funds as may be necessary to carry out the
revegetation work, up to the face amount of the Revegetation LOC. In lieu of or in addition to
drawing on the Revegetation LOC, the BOCC may bring an action for injunctive relief or damages
for the Owner's failure to adhere to the provisions of this STA related to revegetation. The BOCC
shall provide the Owner a reasonable time to cure any identified deficiency prior to requesting
payment from the Revegetation LOC or filing a civil action.

recording the Final Plats. All offsite road improvements for the Los Amigos Ranch P.U.D. have
previously been satisfied.
7. PUBLIC UTILITY RIGHTS -OE -WAY. Whether or not utility easements exist
elsewhere in the Subdivision, all road rights-of-way within the Subdivision shall contain easements
for installation and maintenance of utilities. Public utility easements shall be depicted on the face of
the Final Plat and deeded by recorded instrument to the HOA for the benefit of public utility
providers. The Homeowner's Association of the Subdivision shall be solely responsible for the
maintenance, repair and upkeep of said public utility easements, unless otherwise agreed to with the
public utility company(ies). The BOCC shall not be obligated for the maintenance, repair and
upkeep of any utility easement within the Subdivision. In the event a utility company, whether
publicly or privately owned, requires conveyance of the easements depicted on the Final Plat by
separate document, Owner shall execute and record the required conveyance documents.
8. CONVEYANCE OF OPEN SPACE AND ROADS. The common open space
parcels and roads identified on the Final Plats of the Subdivision shall be conveyed by Owner to the
Homeowner's Association at the time of Final Plat Approval. Owner shall deposit with the Garfield

the BOCC from all claims which may arise as a result of the Owner's installation of the Subdivision
Improvements including revegetation and any other agreement or obligation of Owner, related to
development of the Subdivision, required pursuant to this SIA. The Owner, however, does not
13
indemnify the BOCC for claims made asserting that the standards imposed by the BOCC are
improper or are the cause of the injury asserted, or from claims which may arise from the negligent
acts or omissions of the BOCC or its employees. The BOCC shall notify the Owner of receipt by the
BOCC of a notice of claim or a notice of intent to sue, and the BOCC shall afford the Owner the
option of defending any such claim or action. Failure to notify and provide such written option to
the Owner shall extinguish the BOCC's rights under this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to constitute a waiver of governmental immunity granted to the BOCC by Colorado
statutes and case law.
10. ROAD IMPACT FEE. Pursuant to Paragraph 3 of Garfield County Resolution 98-
30, the Preliminary Plan Approval, the BOCC has established a Road Impact fee of Two Hundred
and No/100ths Dollars (8200.00) for each residential lot within the Subdivision. There are 62 lots
within Filing 9 and 3 lots within Filing 8 Phase 2. Therefore, Owner shall pay Thirteen Thousand

the Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District was included within the District pursuant to its
Resolution No. 005, Series of 2000. The Owner shall comply with all requirements of said
Resolution No. 005, Series of 2000 which include the obligation to pay an impact fee of
per lot for each ofthe 62 lots within the Final. Plat for a total Fire District impact fee
of $ prior to the recording of the Final Plat.
P. SALE OF LOTS. No lots, tracts, or parcels within the Subdivision may be
separately conveyed prior to recording of the Final Plat in the records ofthe Garfield County Clerk
and Recorder.
13. BUILDING PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. As one
remedy for breach of this SIA, including failure to satisfy requirements of the Preliminary Plan
Approval, the BOCC may withhold issuance of building permits for any residence or other habitable
structure to be constructed within the Subdivision. No certificates of occupancy shall issue for any
habitable building or structure, including residences, within the Subdivision until all Subdivision
Improvements, except revegetation, have been completed and are operational and all requirements of
the Preliminary Plan Approval have been satisfied as required by this SIA.
14. CONSENT TO VACATE PLAT. In the event the Owner fails to comply with the
terms of this SIA, the BOCC shall have the ability to vacate the Final Plat as it pertains to any lots

RE: Filing 9, Elk Springs Subdivision
SIA Cost Estimate/Certification of Public Improvements
Dear Larry:
This letter serves to transmit an engineering cost estimate for future public improvements and
provide documentation for the completed infrastructure associated with this Final Plat
application.
Filing 9
This filing consists of the western most lots in Elk Springs. Again, the bulk of this construction
was previously completed as documented in the attachments to Dean Gordon's July 25, 2007
letter to you. The exception is that two additional lots (79 & 80) have been added at the top of
Kingbird Drive. Necessary future construction consists of widening a portion of the existing
drive, extending the drive, constructing a cul-de-sac and installing utility services to the existing
mains as shown on the plans.
Refer to the attached Filing 9 - Kingbird Drive SIA Cost Estimate.
I have reviewed the status of previously -constructed public improvements for this project. Those
improvements would generally consist of the construction of utilities and roadway improvements
within Elk Springs, consistent with prior Preliminary Plan approvals and the Record Maps for
water and sewer and the Preliminary Plan for roads submitted with this application for Final Plat
approval for Elk Springs.
Attached hereto are letters from Dean Gordon, P.E., Dow Construction, the contractor of record;
H -P Geotech, referencing compaction testing and site observation; and Mr. Gary McElwee,
owner's representative, who provided project management during construction. Also attached is
a spreadsheet entitled "Elk Springs Production", which identifies the materials used to install the
improvements.
Based on the attached documents and a visual site inspection conducted by myself and Mr.

RE: Construction Procedures for Utility Trenches and Road Construction in
Filings 5,6,7, 8 & 9.
After a right ofway las been flagged, we begin hy the clearing of -trees and brush.
Then topsoil is stockpiled or placed at the side of the roadway, After clearing and
grubbing a road surface was established by cutting and filling as required. Equipment
utilized: Bulldozers. Excavators, Loaders, sheep foot and smooth drum ratters, water
trucks, dump trucks, etc. Fills were placed in approximately 1 foot loose lifts and
i. umpacted to at bast 95 % standard proctor density. The £irm of 14-P Geo -tech was hired
to establish water content and compactive effort needed to achieve this. Due to the mcicy
environment borrow pits were established. This was necessary to produce fines. Fines
were used to establish a satisfactory road bed_ The borrow pits were then used as a burn
area for clearing debris and abury pit for oversize boulders. The pits were then covered
with soil and revegitated. After a roadbed had been established, utility consta utiou
began. Utility trench locations were established, A bulldozer with a 42" ripper followed
the alignment making a trench that was then filled with water The water truck was
equipped with a special nozzle fabricated to eject water directly into the trench, This
procedure greatly enhanced the mixing of earth and water for the backfilling procedure.
After the pipe and fittings were placed, the pipe was bedded in a. special material free of
rocks greater than Y/." in size. A 1 foot layer of this bedding was placed and compacted.
Compaction procedures were ft eyuently tosEca by gea-techs to assure moisture content
and soil density. After the bedding procedure was completed additional utilities were
then placed and the above mentioned bedding technique was repeated. After all utilities
were installed the remainder oldie trench was backfilled using the same method. When
the utilities have been constructed, tested, and approved by the proper experts, the road

bed was reestablished. This is achieved by scarifying, watering, and Tolima. Ail top
soiling and clean up effort occur at this time. Before ,gravel placement begins, a proof
roll test is performed in the presence of a geo-tech or engineer. This is accomplished by
observing the read surface under the wheels of a fully loaded damp truck or water truck-
If
ruckIf any movement is noted the area is marked and reworked until tate failure is remedied.
.mer the proof roll is approved, the gravel placement will begin. A filter fabric was
paced between the sub -grade and gravel. Itis placed between the sub -grade and the road
base to prevent integration. The filter fabric is rolled out in front of the trucks dumping
gravel. The fabric is held in place by grade stakes. The grade stakes provide alignment
and elevation location. The gravel is manipulated into place by a motor grader, rollers
and water trucks. The goal is to achieve smoothness, grade, slops, drainage and density
to make an all weather surface, .Again a geo-tech is used to assure moisture content and
density, Be assured that every effort was made to assure a quality and safe product to the
best of our ability.

Final Testing and Observation Results, Filings 7, 8, and 9, EIk Springs Subdivision,
County Road 114, GarfieId County, Colorado
As requested, HP Geotech visited the site and performed in-place density testing and observed the
roadways at base course grade on June 11, 2004.
Six density tests were performed and ail tests met the Project minimum density of 95% standard Proctor
density. The base course was then dug up at the test locations to expose subgrade soil and the depth
measured. Again, all locations met or exceeded the minimum required base course depth of 8 inches.
During our visit the gravel roadway surface was observed for signs of instability such as rutting, and
cracking. No signs of instability were noted. HP Geotech also performed compaction testing and
observation during infrastructure construction. These reports have been previously submitted.
Based on our test results and observations, it appears that the roadway construction should perform as
intended.
If you have any questions, please call this office.

Re: Filing 9, Elk Springs Subdivision
Public Infrastructure Improvements
Dear Larry:
In my capacity as a member of the Architectural Review Committee and the Ranch Manager
for Los Amigos Ranch LLC, I was involved and am aware of the construction of public
infrastructure improvements for Filing 9. The contractor for the improvements was DOW
Construction Company, Inc.
This is to certify that except for the extension of Kingbird Drive and related utility services to
provide access and utility service to lots 79 and 80, the public utility systems and roadway
infrastructure facilities were installed in their entirety and were installed in compliance with
approved construction documents. All systems have been tested and are ready for their intended use.
}ey truly yore,
Gary Mc1 Rree

RE: Filing 8 — Phase 2, Elk Springs Subdivision
SIA Cost Estimate/Certification of Public Improvements
Dear Larry:
This letter serves to transmit engineering cost estimates for future public improvements and
provide documentation for the completed infrastructure associated with this Final Plat
application.
Filing 8- Phase 2
These are the three 35+ acre Rural Residential lots south of Filing 8 accessed by Juniper Drive.
Utility construction was completed by Dow Construction as documented in the attachments to
the July 25, 2007 Dean Gordon, P.E letter to you (attached). Juniper Drive was reconstructed
this past summer and fall as documented by the attached invoices from GMCO and GNPeters
that indicate over $200k was spent improving the road. H -P Geotech did construction testing
and oversaw the work. Refer to their summary letter also attached.
These lots will be served by Individual Septic Disposal Systems (ISDS) as approved by Garfield
County Resolution 99-102. All other infrastructure is in place and no costs are necessary for SIA
security purposes.
Filing 8- Phase 2 - SIA Cost Estimate = $0 (all work completed).
I have reviewed the status of previously -constructed public improvements for this project. Those
improvements would generally consist of the construction of utilities and roadway improvements
within Elk Springs, consistent with prior Preliminary Plan approvals and the Record Maps for
water and sewer and the Preliminary Plan for roads submitted with this application for Final Plat
approval for Elk Springs.
Attached hereto are letters from Dean Gordon, P.E., Dow Construction, the contractor of record;
H -P Geotech, referencing compaction testing and site observation; and Mr. Gary McElwee,
owner's representative, who provided project management during construction. Also attached is

Project No. 110 200A
Subject: Summary of Construction Observations and Materials Testing. Juniper
Drive Roadway Reconstruction, Filing 8, Phase 2, Elk Springs, Garfield
County, Colorado
Dear Mr. McElwee:
Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical. Inc. (HP Geotech) provided observation and materials
testing services for subgrade and aggregate base course during construction of the above -
referenced project. Our field services for the construction began on September 1, 2010
and continued on an as -requested basis through to completion of aggregate base course
placement on September 21, 2010. Our services were performed under the direction of
the undersigned licensed engineer registered in the State of Colorado. During
construction, applicable testing and observation reports were prepared and have been
distributed under separate cover. We previously performed an evaluation of the roadway
subgrade and presented our findings and recommendations in a report dated July 22, 2010,
under our Job Number 110200A.
At the time ofour September 1 site visit, the existing aggregate base course had been
removed and stockpiled. The subgrade soils had reportedly been scarified about one foot
deep and then re -compacted using a vibratory pad foot roller. We observed proof rolling
of the subgrade using a loaded dump truck. Areas that deflected excessively were marked
for repair. We recommended that the marked areas be sub -excavated at least one tbot and
replaced with compacted granular import or suitably conditioned and compacted on site
material as necessary to provide a stable subgrade. On September 7 we observed that the
marked areas had been sub -excavated as recommended, and on September 8 we observed
placement of 3 inch minus aggregate base course in progress in some of the sub -excavated
areas. On September 13 we observed that the previously sub -excavated areas had been
backfilled and compacted. About six additional areas that reportedly exhibited excessive
deflection under truck traffic had also been sub -excavated. One sample of the subgrade
and one sample of the stockpiled Class 6 aggregate base course were obtained and tested
for laboratory Proctor compaction. grain size distribution, and plasticity index. Laboratory
test results indicated the aggregate base course was in compliance with CDOT Class 6
Elk Springs, LLC
November 18, 2010
Page 2
aggregate base course specifications for the tests performed_ Field compaction testing was
performed on the subgrade on September 14 which indicated that the subgrade was
compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor density (ASTM D 698), in
compliance with our recommendations. No areas of apparent excessive deflection were
observed and we judged the subgrade to be suitable for placement of gee}grid and
aggregate base course as recommended in our previous report. On September 21, we
performed field compaction testing at aggregate base course grade which indicated that the
aggregate base course was compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor density, in
compliance with our recommendations.
Based on our observations during the construction and results of our testing, the subgrade
and aggregate base course as constructed for the project were in substantial compliance
with our recommendations and applicable Garfield County specifications.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call our office.
Sincerely,
HEPWORTH - PAW LAK GEOTECHNICAL, INC.

Dear David:
We represent Spring Valley Sanitation District (the "District"). It is my understanding that
your client is preparing to develop Filing 9 of Elk Springs PUD which is to be developed with 60
single family lots (the "Property"). The District and the owner of the Property entered into that certain
Pre -Inclusion and Wastewater Treatment Plant Development Agreement dated December 15, 1999
and recorded with the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder as Reception No. 587475 (the "PDA")
which commits capacity in the District's wastewater treatment plant for the development of the
Property. The PDA also sets forth terms and conditions of the Districts provision of wastewater
treatment service to the Property. It is also my understanding that all sewer facilities to serve Filing 9
have been constructed and accepted by the District. Therefore, the District has the capacity in its
wastewater treatment plant and can and will serve the Property with wastewater treatment
service, subject to the following conditions:
1. If any additional sewer facilities need to be constructed, a complete set of sewer construction
plans must be provided to the District for its review and approval prior to construction of such
facilities to be dedicated to the District;
2. The approval by the District of all required Line Extension Agreements or Line Connection
Agreements as required by the District's Rules and Regulations and/or the PDA;
. The Applicant complies with all of the terms and conditions of the PDA and the District's
Rules and Regulations; and
4. Pursuant to the District's Rules and Regulations and the PDA, the Applicant shall reimburse
the District for all costs incurred by the District regarding this project, including, but not
limited to legal and engineering review.

RECITALS
A. Declarant is the owner of certain real property situate in Garfield County,
Colorado, and more particularly described in the Final Plat for Elk Springs Filing 8 Phase
2, a Subdivision of Los Amigos Ranch PUD, ("Final Plat"), filed for public record in the
Office of the Clerk and Recorder, Garfield County, Colorado as Reception No.
B. Declarant has previously recorded that certain Amended and Restated
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Los Amigos Ranch Planned
Unit Development, Garfield County, Colorado (Amended and Restated Declaration) on
February 15, 1991 in Book 799, Page 48 of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorders'
records as Reception No., 421306.
C. Declarant desires to annex all those properties contained within the Final
Plat pursuant to this Supplemental Declaration and thereby subject said annexed
properties (hereinafter "Additional Properties") to the Amended and Restated Declaration
and the additional covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth below.
NOW THEREFORE, Declarant hereby makes the following declaration of
annexation of the Additional Properties and declarations of additional covenants and
restrictions applicable thereof:
ANNEXATION OF ADDITIONAL PROPERTY
1.1 The Additional Properties contained within Elk Springs Filing 8 Phase 2, a
Subdivision of Los Amigos Ranch PUD, as more particularly described on "Exhibit A"
attached hereto, are hereby annexed pursuant to Article IV of the Amended and Restated
Declaration.
1.2 The Additional Properties are hereby made subject to all provisions set forth in the
Amended and Restated Declaration.
1.3 The Additional Properties are hereby made subject to the additional covenants,
conditions and restrictions set forth in this Supplemental Declaration.
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
2.1 Minimum Size of Dwellings Every residential dwelling unit constructed on a single
family lot shall have a minimum foundation footprint of 2,000 square feet, exclusive of
garages, porches and patios.
2.2 Irrigation Single family lots shall not irrigate more than 3,000 square feet of land.
2,3 Individual Sewage Disposal Systems. All single family lots in Elk Springs Filing 8
Phase 2, a Subdivision of Los Amigos Ranch PUD, are allowed to utilize individual
sewage disposal systems (ISDS) after obtaining a site specific percolation test to
determine whether a standard septic system is acceptable or an engineered system is
appropriate or required. Each ISDS shall be designed to minimize tree removal and
changes to the natural contours of the land.
2.4 Central Water System All water rights and water facilities which comprise the
domestic water delivery system for EIk Springs Filing 8 Phase 2 are owned by the Elk
Springs Homeowners Association, Inc. The Association shall have the power to own,
operate, maintain, repair and replace the water delivery system and to levy reasonable
charges therefor pursuant to Section 4.8 of the Amended and Restated Declaration, and
shall have the further power and authority to levy assessments in connection with the
ownership, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the domestic water
delivery system in accordance with Article V of the Amended and Restated Declaration.
2.5 Pet Control All pets must be kept under strict owner control at all times. No more
that one adult dog and no more than an aggregate of three cats and dogs may be kept on
a single family lot. The Board of Elk Springs Homeowner's Association has promulgated
rules and regulations regarding pet ownership and control, and may levy pet
assessments for violations of said rules and regulations. By way of example, owners
may be assessed for pets found roaming free of owner control, or disturbing neighbors or
wildlife. Said pet assessments are enforceable as set forth in Article V., Paragraph 5.5 of
the Amended and Restated Declaration. Nothing contained herein or in said rules and
regulations shall limit the right of the Board to modify said rules and regulations,
determine a pet is a nuisance and require it's removal from Los Amigos Ranch P.U.D.
Properties, nor limit the right of Elk Springs, LLC or any owner of Los Amigos Ranch
P.U.D. property to enforce their property rights.
2.6 Fire Protection The Additional Properties are forested with mature pinion and
juniper trees. In order to reduce the danger to homes from lightning induced crown fires,
all Homeowners shall create a defensible space by thinning trees within 30 feet of their
homes so that the crowns of trees are at least 10 feet apart. This defensible space shall
be increased as the slope of the Lot increases. For example, homes on 10% slopes
should have a minimum defensible space of 35 feet uphill and to the sides and 37 feet
downhill. Homes on 20% slopes need a minimum defensible space of 40 feet uphill and
to the sides and 47 feet downhill. In addition, lower branches of trees within the
defensible space should be pruned to eliminate ladder fuels which allow a fire to burn
from ground level to lower tree branches. Dead branches, limbs, trees and debris shall
be removed from the defensible space area. All dead wood within one hundred feet
(100') of structures shall be removed. Roofs shall be constructed of noncombustible
materials.
