Dear Whit:
RE: Open Hole Observation — Rice Residence
Lot 4, The Ranch At Coulter Creek PUD
1051 Cattle Creek Ridge Road
Garfield County, Colorado
Project No. 17-3155
At your request on December 5, 2016, we visited the construction site for the proposed
Rice Residence on Lot 4, The Ranch at Coulter Creek PUD, Cattle Creek Ridge Road, Garfield
County, Colorado. The purpose of our site visit was to observe the soils exposed in the
foundation excavations for the proposed residence and compare them with the findings and
recommendations of the Soil's and Foundation Investigation, under the same project number, last
revised August 1, 2017.
The excavation consisted of a single bench. The depth of the excavation was about 2 feet
below the existing grade. It was shallower on the east side and slightly deeper on the west side.
The soil exposed in the bottom of the excavation was whitish, to light brown, sandy to silty clay
to clayey sand. The light colored clayey soil exposed in the excavation is suitable for the
recommended bearing capacity of 3000 psf and a minimum dead load of 1000psf
We recommend compliance with the recommendations of the above-named soil report
during the remainder of the construction, specifically with the sections on drainage, grading and
irrigation.
This report has been prepared according to locally accepted Professional Geotechnical
Engineering standards for similar methods of testing and soil conditions at this time. The
findings and recommendation stated above are based on the soil conditions observed in the
completed foundation excavation only.
There is no other warranty either expressed or implied.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
