SOILS AND GEOLOGY
Two soils and geology analyses have been completed on the site' The first
report titled "p?eliminary Geotechnical Study, Proposed Residential
otvenpment, Elk Springs Ranch Lower Bench Area, County Road 114,
Garfield County, Coioraio," was prepared by HP Geotech and is dated
November 11, 2005. The study included five test borings spaced throughout
thi property and presented preliminary design recommendations for
foundations and roadwaYs.
The second study, titled "supplemental Geotechnical Study, Prop-osed
Residential Development, Elk'springs Ranch Lower_Bench Area, county Road
114, Garfield County, Coiorado," wis also prepared by HP Geotech and is
dated April 10, 2006: Subsoil conditions were investigated by drilling 12
additional exPloratory borings.
It further presents the general subsoil conditions, surficial geology, site
lrading and drainage c6nsiderations and prelim!n"ry foundation
recommendations.
-The repoft concludes nDevelopment of the project should
be feasible based on geotechnical conditions, however there are several
conditions of a geolog-ic nature that could affect the proposed development
and which should be-considered in project planning and design." Preliminary
design recommendations in the report-address concerns related to potentially
hydiocompressive soils and provide recommended rnitigation techniques'
The potential effect of moisture sensitive soils will be mitigated by d.irecting
surface drainage awiy from the buildings. Under-drain systems will be used
to protect baslment levels or retaining walls from wetting and hydrostatic
pi.rrr... The conditions at each individual building site will be evaluated at
the time of construction to determine if additional measures are warranted'
The interior roadways will be designed in accordance with the recom-
mendations of the i'olts repot. T[e road section will consist of nine inches of
base course and three incires of asphalt. The sub-grade will be sub-
excavated and re-compacted to a depth of six feet before placing the base
course and asphalt. It is also recommended that water and sewer lines
within the roadways be constructed using restrained joint pipe to limit the
potential for joint separation in the event of excessive settlement.
The report fufther evaluated the conditions on the propefi relative to slope
instabiiily, sinkholes flow and the potential for strong earthquake related
ground shaking.
This property, as well as the surrounding afeat fa.lls within seismic Risk Zone
1 in terms of earthquake potential. All of the building construction within this
development will be required to meet the requirements of the Uniform
Building Code for this seismic zone.
Further design recommendations for foundations, retaining wal-ls and floor
slabs are contained within the geotechnical reports. Test hole logs, swell-
consolidation test results, and gradation test iesults can be found within the
full text of the reports which are included in this application'

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STI]DY
This report presents the results of a supplemental geotechnical study for the proposed
residential development at Elk Springs Ranch Lower Bench Area, County Road 114'
Garfield County, Colorado. The project site is shown on Figure 1' The purpose of the
study was to develop lecorlmendations for foundation and grading designs' The study
was conducted as a supplanent to our proposal for professional engineering services to
John Elmore dated July 7, 2OO5.A preliminary geotechnical study and geologic
conditions assessment was conducted for the schematic subdivision plan (Hepworth-
Pawlak Geotechnicai, 2005).
A field exploration proglam consisting of additional exploratory borings was conducted
to obtain information on the general subsurface conditions' Samples of the subsoils
obtained during the field exploration were tested in the laboratory to determine their
classification, compressibility or expansion potantial and other engineering
characteristics. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing were analyzed
to develop recommendations for preliminary foundation design of the proposed buildings
and for the subdivision grading. This report sumrnarizes the data obtained during this
study and presents our conclusions, design recommendations and other geotechnical
engineering considerations based on the proposed construction and the subzurface
conditions encountered.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The preliminary schematic plan was being developed at that time of our study' In general,
it is an g0 lot, singre family residential subdivision with a network of streets and utilities
as shown on Figure 1. Since our initial study, the plan has been changed' mainly to the
west of the main entrance. We understand that the streets and lots are generally proposed
to follow the terrain but considering the variable relief and closely spaced lots, relatively
extensive grading could be required
Job No. 105 652 c$tecfr
a
If building types, Iocations or development plans change significantly from those
described above, we should be notified to re-evaluate the recorrmendations contained in
this report.
SITE CONDITIONS
The terrain across the project site is variable and the general topography is shown by the
contour lines on Figure 1. County Road 114 borders the property on the north and east.
Ground suface slopes in the east and west building areas are typically moderate and do
not exceed about 10 percent in most areas. A steep river terrace escarpment about 100
feet high with slopes of about 60 percent is located near the western property boundary.
The moderate sloping bench transitions to hitly terrain to the north, south and east of the
properfy. Slopes in these areas are typically between about 25 and 60 percent.
Vegetation consists of mostly grass and sagebrush with juniper trees, sage brush and grass
on the adjacent hills.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted between January 9 and March 9,
2006. Twelve exploratory borings (Borings 6 through 17) were drilled at the locations
shown on Figure I to evaluate the subsurface conditions. The borings were advanced
with 4 inch diameter continuous flight auger powered by CME-45 and CME-55 drill rigs
mounted on all terrain vehicles. The borings were logged by a representative of
Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, lnc. Borings 1 through 5 were drilled as part of the
preliminary study and their locations are also shown on Figure 1-
Samples of the subsoils were taken with a l3A inch and 2 inch I.D. spoon samplers. The
samplers were driven into the subsoils at various depths with blows from a 140 pound
hammer falling 30 inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described
by ASTM Method D-l586. The penetration resistance values tre an indication of the
relative density or consistency of the subsoils and hardness of the bedrock. Depths at
which the samples were taken and the penetration resistance values are shown on the

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figures 2
through 4. The subsoils, below a thin topsoil root zone, consist of a variable depth of
inter-layered silt, sand and clay alluvial deposits typically overlying very hard
siltstone/sandstone bedrock. The aluviar soils were encountered to a depth of 48 feet in
the western part and to a depth of 59%feet in the east part of the properry in the borings
drilled for the preliminary study. At the borings located in the cenffal part of the
property,siltstoneisandstoneandgypsumbedrockoftheEagleValleyEvaporitewas
encountered below the alluvial/colluvial soils at depths between 7 and 19 feet' The
bedrock was tlpically very hard and did not appear to contain voids' At Boring 15' about
lTfeetofsoftandweatheredgypsumwasencounterbetweenharderrocklayersbutdid
not appear to contain voids. Borings 16 and 17, drilled nearby did not encounter the
g)psum
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included natural
moisture content and density, liquid and plastic limits and finer than sand size gradation
analyses. Results of swell-consolidation testing, presented on Figures 6 through 12'
indicate the alluvial soils within about the upper 10 feet are typically hydrocompressive
and moderately to higtlv compressible under load after wetting' Sorne of the clay soils
with depth typically showed a minor to moderate expansion potential when wetted under
relatively light loading. The laboratory test results are summarized in Table 1'
Free water was not encountered in the borings and the subsoils and bedrock were
relatively dry. The gypsum at Boring 15 was moist'

ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
Development of the project as proposed should be feasible based on geotechnical
conditions. The alluvial/colluvial soils encountered in the borings have variable
settlement/heave characteristics. The shallow soils tend to collapse (settle under constant
load) when wetted. The depth of collapsible soils is expected to be variable across the
project site but appears to be on the order of 8 to 15 feet based on the laboratory testing.
The amount of settlement will depend on the depth of the compressible soils and the
wetted depth below the foundation. The deeper soils that show some expansion potantial
when wetted are expected to not be t5pically encountered in shallow excavations and
should not impact shallou,foundation design. Deep foundations may require mitigation
of the expansive soils including subexcavation or minimum dead loads. The
settlementftreave potential and risk of excessive building distress can be reduced by
compaction of the soils to a certain depth belou, the foundation bearing level and by
heavily reinforcing the foundation to resist differential settlements. The compaction
could also extend to belou, driveway and utility areas. Stnrctural fill sections are
expected to be relatively minor but relatively deep structural fills will have some potential
for long term settlement. Proper grading and compaction as presented belou, in ^S;le
Gradingwill help reduce the settlernent risks. A heavily reinforced mat foundation
designed for large differential settlements could also be used to reduce the settlernent risk.
Recommendations for design of the proposed development are presented below. When
the building plans have been developed, we should review the information for compliance
with our recommendations.
PRELIMINARY DES I GN RECOMMENDATIONS
FOTINDATIONS
Considering the subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory borings, the
variable terrain and the residential proposed construction, we recolnmend the buildings be
founded with spread footings. The feasibility of footings placed on the natural soils
Job No. lO5 652 G$'tec*1
-5-
should be evaluated by either additional subsurface exploration or evaluation of the
bearing conditions at the time of construction. If mat foundations are considered for
building support, we should be contacted for additional recommendations'
The design and construction criteria presented belou' should be observed for a spread
footing foundation sYstem.
1)Footings placed on the natural soils or at least 3 feet of compacted fill
depending on the results of additional exploration, should be designed for
an allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. Based on experience, we
expect initial settlement of footings designed and constructed as discussed
in this section will be about 1 inch or less. Additional differential
settlement between about I to 2 inches could occur if the soils are wetted.
The footings should have a minimum width of 20 inches for continuori's
walls and 2 feetfor isolated pads. If expansive soils are encountered at
bearing level, nrurower footings may be feasible'
Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided
with adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost protection'
Placement of foundations at least 36 inches below exterior grade is
typically used in this area.
The foundation should be constmcted in a'box-like" configuration rather
than with isolated footings. The foundation walls should be heavily
reinforced top and bottom to span ]ocal anomalies and limit the effects of
differential movements, such as by assuming an unsupported length of at
least 14 feet. Foundation walls acting as retaining structures should also
be designed to resist lateral earth pressures as discussed in the "Foundation
and Retaining Walls" section of this report' '
The topsoil and any loose or disturbed soils should be removed' In areas
where the bearing soils will be compacted, the soils should be
subexcavated as needed to provide at least 3 feet ofstructural fiIl below
the footing bearing level compacted to at least 98% of the maximum
standard Proctor density within 2 percentage points of optimum moisture
content. Where footings are placed on the natural soils, the exposed soils

should be fuither evaluated for settlementftreave potential and should be
moistened and compacted in footing areas. An exploratory boring should
be drilled on each of the lots located along the bedrock knolls to further
evaluate bedrock conditions and possible soft gypsum or subsurface voids
for the individual lot owners
A representative of the geotechnical engineer should evaluate compaction
of the fill materials and observe all footing excavations prior to concrete
placement for bearing conditions.
FOTINDATION AND RETAINING WALLS
Foundation walls and retaining structures which are laterally supported and can be
expected to undergo oniy a slight amount of deflection should be designed for a lateral
earth pressure computed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 55 pcf
forbackfillconsistingoftheon.sitesoi1s'CantileveredretainingStructureswhichare
separate frorn the buildings and can be expected to deflect sufficiently to mobilize the full
active earth pressure condition should be designed for a lateral earth pressure computed
on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 45 pcf for backfill consisting of
the on-site soils.
All foundation and retaining structures should be designed for appropriate hydrostatic and
surcharge pressgres such as adjacent footings, traffic, construction materials and
equipment. The pressures recornmended above assume drained conditions behind the
walls and a horizontal backfill surface. The buildup of water behind a wall or an upward
sloping backfill surface will increase the lateral pressure imposed on a foundation wall or
retaining structure. An underdrain should be provided to prevent hydrostatic pressure
buildup behind walls.
Backfill should be placed in uniform lifts and compacted to at least 90% of the rnaximum
standard proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Backfill in pavernent and
walkway areas should be compacted to at least 95%o of the maximum standard Proctor
density. Care should be taken not to overcompact the backfill or use large equipment
JobNo.105652 eeftea'r

near the wall, since this could cause excessive lateral pressure on the wall' Some
settlement of deep foundation wall backfill should be expected' even if the material is
placedcorrectly,andcouldresultindistresstofacilitiesconstructedonthebackfill'
The lateral resistance of foundation or retaining wall footings will be a combination of the
sliding resistance of the footing on the foundation materials and passive earth pressure
against the side of the footing. Resistance to sliding at the bottoms of the footings can be
calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.35' Passive pressure of compacted
backfill against the sides of the footings can be calculated using an equivalent fluid unit
weight of 300 pcf. The coefficient of friction and passive pressure values recommended
above assume ultimate soil strength. Suitable factors of safety should be included in the
design to limit the strain which will occur at the ultimate strength, particularly in the case
of passive resistance. Fiil placed against the sides of the footings to resist lateral loads
should be compacted to at leastglo/oof the maximum standard Proctor density at a
moisture content near oPtimum'
FLOOR SLABS
The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, and compacted sffuctural fill can be used to
support liglrtly loaded slab-on-grade construction. The upper natural soils are
compressible u,hen wetted and there could be some post-construction settlement' To
reduce the effects of some differential movement, nonstructural floor slabs should be
separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which allow
unrestrained vertical movement. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce
damage due to shrinkage cracking. The requirements for joint spacing and slab
reinforcement should be established by the designer based on experience and the intended
slab use. A minimum 4 inch layer of free-draining gravel should be placed beneath
basement level slabs to facilitate drainage. This material should consist of minus 2 inch
aggregate with at least 50% retained on the No' 4 sieve and ]ess than 2% passing the No'
200 sieve.
Job No. 105 652 c$tecrr
-8-
All fill materials for support of floor slabs above footing bearing level should be
compacted to at least 95o/o of maximum standard Proctor densit5, at a moisture content
near optimum. Required fill can consist of the on-site soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil
and oversized rock.
LINDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although free water was not encountered during our exploration, it has been our
experience in the area that local perched groundwater can develop during times of heavy
precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground during spring runoffcan create a perched
condition. We recommend below-grade construction, such as retaining walls and
basement areas, be protected from wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup by an
underdrain system. An underdrain should not be provided around shallow crawlspace
areas and floor slabs constructed near finish ground surface.
If installed, the drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the wall backfill
surrounded above the invert level with free-draining granular material. The drain should
be placed at each level of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish
gradeand sloped at a minimum 1%o toa suitable gravity outlet. Free-draining granular
material used in the underdrain system should contain less than 2% passing the No. 200
sieve, less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and have a maximum size of 2 inches. The
drain gravel backfill should be at least 7r/z feet deep. An impervious membrane, such as a
20 mll PVC liner, should be placed beneath the drain gravel in a trough shape and
attached to the foundation wall with mastic to prevent wetting of the bearing soils.
SITE GRADING
A moderate amount of grading could be needed as part of the proposed development plan
due to the variable terrain. In addition, removal and replacement of the alluvial/colluvial
soils compacted is recommended to in roadway areas to reduce the risk of excessive
differential settlements and distress. The structural fill should extend to at least 6 feet
below design subgrade level of the access roads. The water and sewer pipe joints in the
JobNo.105 652 c,&Etecr,
-9-
roadways should be mechanically restrained to reduce the risk ofjoint separation in the
event of excessive settlement. Excavation and compaction below footing bearing level
may not be needed depending on the results of additional site-specific exploration and
analysis. The stmctural fill materials below footing bearing level should be compacted to
at least 98o/o of themaximum standard Proctor density within 2 percentage points of
optimum moisture content. Prior to filI placement, the subgrade should be carefully
prepared by removing the vegetation and topsoil and compacting to at least 95o/o of the
maximum standard Proctor density at near optimum moisture content' The fill should be
benched into slopes that exceed 2oo/o grade. Based on our experience, shrinkage of the
uppelalluvialsoilsduetocompactionisexpectedtobeabout20%.
permanent unretained cut and fiIl slopes should be graded atZhoizontal to I vertical or
flatter and protected against erosion by revegetation or other means' This office should
review site grading plans for the project prior to construction'
SURFACE DRAINAGE
Precautions to prevent wetting of the bearing soils such as Proper backfill construction'
positive backfil] slopes, restricting landscape irrigation and use of roof gutters need to be
taken to help limit settlement and building distress. The following drainage precautions
should be observed during construction and maintained at all times after each residence
has been comPleted:
1) lnundation ofthe foundation excavations and underslab areas should be
avoided during construction'
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and
compacted to at least 95oh of themaximum standard Proctor density in
pavement and slab areas and to at least 90% of the maximum standard
Proctor density in landscape areas'
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be
sloped to drain away from the foundation in all directions' The slope
should be at least 12 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved areas and at least
3 inches in the first 10 feet in paved areas. Drain gravel of retaining u'alls
Job No. 105 652 c$tech

4)
should be capped with at least2 feet of the on-site soils to reduce surface
water infiltration.
Roof gutters should be provided with dou,nspouts that discharge beyond
the limits of the foundation wall backfill.
Landscaping which requires regular hearry irrigation, such as sod, should
be located at least 5 feet from foundation walls. Consideration should be
given to use of xeriscape to reduce the potential for wetting of soils below
the building caused by irrigation.

LIMITATIONS
This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical
engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either
express or implied. The conclusions and recorlmendations submiued in this report are
based upon the data obtained from the exploratory borings drilled at the locations
indicated on Figure 1, the proposed type of construction and our experie,nce in the area.
Our services do not include determining the presence, prevention or possibility of mold or
other biological contaminants (MOBC) developing in the future. If the client is
concerned abor.lt MOBC, then a professional in this special field of practice should be
consulted. Our findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the zubsurface
conditions identified at the exploratory borings 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 re,port, we
should be notified so that re-evaluation of the recorlmendations 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 and field services during construction to review and monitor the
irnplementation of our recorrmendations, and to verifu that the recommendations have
been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may require additional
analysis or modifications to the recomrnendations presented herein. We recornmend on-

NOTES:
1 . Borings 6 through 15 were drilled on January 9 and 10, 2006 and Borings 16 and 17 were drilled on March 9, 2006
with 4-inch diameter continuous flight power auger.
2. Locations of exploratory borings were measured approximately by pacing from features shown on the site plan
provided.
3. Elevations of exploratory borings were estimated from contours shown on the site plan provided.
4. The exploratory boring locations and elevations should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the
method used.
5. The lines between materials shown on the exploratory boring logs represent the approximate boundaries between
materialtypes and transitions may be gradual'
6. No free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling or when checked one day later. Fluctuation in
water level may occur with time.

REGIONAL GEOLOGIC SETTING
Theprojectsiteislocatedinanareaofcomplexgeologl,i:lthesouthcentra]partofthe
carbondale Evaporite collapse center ro the east of the Grand Hogback rnonocline' see
Figure 1. The Grand Hogback is a fust order geologic struciure that marks the transition
between the rfrhite River uplift to the northbast and the Piceance basi:l to the southwest'
Both were formed during the Laramide orogenl'abou140 to 80 million years ago' The
Grand Hogback marls the western limit of the western colorado evaPorite region' 1he
carbondale evaporite collapse center is a northwest trending regional geologic structure
thatcoversabout460squarenilesandextendsfromBasalttonorthofRifle({irkhana

occurred in the southern part of the collapse center near carbondale during the past 10
millionyearsasaresultofdisso]utionandflowageofevaporitefrombeneaththecenler.
Much of the collapse aPpears to have occurred within the past 3 million years which also
corresponds to high incision rates along the colorado River and its main tributaries sucb
as the Roaring Fork River (Kirk}a',., and others ,2002). If this is the case, the long-term
averagesubsidenceratewasbetween0.5andl.6inchesperl00years.Some
geologically young fault and evaporite related anticlines are present in the project area but
because of the'nature of evaporite tectonics tbe faults are not considered capable of
generating large eartbquakes. The closest geologically young faults' faults less than about
l5,000years,consideredcapableofgenerationlargeearthqud<esarefau]tsT*.

PROJECT SITE GEOLOGY
The main geologic features at the project site and\'iciniu are shou'n on Figure 2' The
uplard bench at the project site appears to be associaled with a former' higher Ievel
Roaring Fork River variey floor thar existed at the time of a rniddre preistocene-age Burl
Lake glacialion. surficial soil deposits in the area include Roaring Fork River glacial
outwash, allul,ium of varying ages on the upiand bench and colluvium on the adjacent
hillsides. Near sr:rface formation rock is the Eagle \/alley Evaporite, basalt flows and
associated volcanic sediments'

part of the project arca andhave been mined for aggregate ne.* the westenr properg' Line' .,
The terrace surface stands about 255 feAabove the modem 1ivg1 sfuennel and the outn'ash
is probably associated with a middle Pleistocene-age Bull Lake glaciation about 132 to
198 thousand years ago. Three ages of tributary drainage alluvium are present belou'the
uplaad bench. Qa5a and Qa5b are tbe o]dest, Qa2 is of intermediate age and Qal is the
youngesr alluvium. The oldest ributary drainage alluvium directly overlies the Bull Lake
outwash along tbe lerrace escarpment, is of a 5imilar age and probably exlends below tbe
intermediate age and youngest alluvium on the upland bench to the east of terrace' The
Qal and Qa2 alluviums are geologically yor:ng and were deposited in post-glacial time'
during about the past 15,000 years. Relatively thin colluvium (Qcl) is present belou'the
incised gully sides in the western part of the ploPerry and relatively thin colluvium (Qc2)
usually covers the forination rock on the hills to the north' east and south of the prcperry'
Relatively extensive man-placed fills (af) associated with gravel mining and @r:nu Road
174 arepresent in the projecl area'
At the boring sjtes the tributary drainage alluvial deposits rn'ere from 14 to greater than
5g.5 feet thick, see Figure 3. The soil profiles at the borings typically consisted of an
upper fine sandy silt and clay from 14 to 25 feet thick that overlies stratified sand and silt

anhydrite and halire) that are interbedded u'ith light colored mudstone' fine-grained
sandstone, thin carbonate beds and black shaie. outcrops along the cor:nty road near the
project site indicate that the bedding in this area strikes to the northeast and dips betnrcen
45 and 6? degreesto the soutbeast. see FigUre 2' The local bedding is not consisterrt with
the northwest regional structual trend and indicates that the evaporite in the project area
has been deformed by evaporite flow' The middle Pleistocene-age glacial ounpash
terrace:m the area does Dot appear to have been substantially deformed by evaporite
tectonics since formed about 132to 198 thousand )',ears ago' The evaporite is relati'rely
soluble and subsurface voids and related sinkholes are locally present through the uestern
Colorado evaporite re-sion in areas where the evaporite is near the surface' see Figgre 1'
