PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a preliminary geotechnical study for the proposed
Ranch at Coulter Creek, County Road 115, Garfield County, Colorado. The project
site is shown on Figs. 1A, 1B and 1C. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the
geologic and subsurface conditions and their potential impacts on the project. The
study was conducted in accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering
services to Snowmass Land Company, dated January 10, 2003.
A field exploration program consisting of a reconnaissance and exploratory borings and
pits was conducted to obtain information on the site and subsurface conditions. Samples
of the subsoils obtained during the field exploration were tested in the laboratory to
determine their classification, compressibility or swell and other engineering
characteristics. 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 and the subsurface conditions
encountered.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed Ranch at Coulter Creek development consists of about 479 acres which
will be divided into 26 single family residential lots located adjacent to 305 acres of
open space. The preliminary development plan is shown on Figs. 1A, 1B and IC. The
residential areas will mainly border the south and west perimeter of the open space.
The individual .lots will vary in size typically from about 4 to 6 acres with larger lots
along the southwest perimeter. The lots will be accessed by several roads that connect
to County Road 115 at two locations to form a loop. A chip seal road surface is
proposed. The lots will be serviced with a central water system and have individual
septic disposal. The water plant will be located in the area of Boring 3 (Fig. 1B) and an
above ground steel tank will be located in the area of Boring 4 (Fig. 1A). Grading for
H -P GEOTECH

the development improvements is generally proposed to be relatively minor with cut and
fill depths up to about 6 to 10 feet.
If development plans change significantly from those described above, we should be
contacted for review and additional analysis as needed.
SITE CONDITIONS
The Ranch at Coulter Creek covers about 479 acres and is located on the northern side
of the Missouri Heights upland to the west of the confluence of Cattle and Coulter
Creeks. The upland is rolling terrain that stands above and lies to the north of the
Roaring Fork River valley. Topography in the area is shown by the contour lines on
Figs. 1A, 1B and 1C. Cattle Creek has eroded a deep canyon below the upland along
the south side of the project area. Much of this canyon side is a large landslide
complex. Slopes in the proposed 26 building envelopes on the upland to the north are
moderate and typically do not exceed 15%. Major drainages do not cross through the
project site. Much of the project site is irrigated hay fields and pasture. Vegetation
outside the irrigated areas is mostly sage, oak and other brush with some juniper trees.
At the time of this study, the property was an operating ranch. The only buildings on
the property were the ranch headquarters near the northeastern corner of the property.
Much of the ground had a shallow snow cover at the time of our field review.
GEOLOGIC SETTING
The project area is located in the northern part of Missouri Heights, a rolling upland in
the central part of the Carbondale evaporite collapse center. The collapse center is a
roughly circular region with a diameter of about 20 miles and an area of about 460
square miles (Kirkham and Others, 2002). As much as 4,000 feet of regional
subsidence is believed to have occurred in the collapse center within the past 10 million
years as the result of dissolution and flowage of evaporite from beneath the region.
Much of the collapse appears to have occurred within the past 3 million years which
H -P GEOTECH
3
also corresponds to high incision rates along the Colorado River and its main tributaries
such as the Roaring Fork River (Kirkham and Others, 2002). If this is the case, the
long-term average subsidence rate was between 0.04 and 0.1 inches per 100 years.
There is some local evidence of evaporite deformation such as tilted river terraces and
fault scarps as recent as the late Pleistocene, but there is no definitive evidence of
deformation during post -glacial times, within about the past 15,000 years (Widmann
and Others, 1998). The closest fault zones to the project area with known or suspected
post -glacial activity not associated with evaporite deformation and considered capable of
generating large earthquakes are the southern section of the Sawatch fault zone located
about 63 miles to the southeast and the Williams Fork Mountain fault zone located
about 58 miles to the northeast (Widmann and Others, 1998).
SITE GEOLOGY
The main geologic features in the project area are shown on Figs. 1A, 1B and 1C.
Most of the project area is underlain by the sediments of Missouri Heights (QTm) with
some Miocene -age volcanic rocks (Tvm) in the southeastern part of the project area.
Regional geologic mapping indicates that the Eagle Valley Evaporite is present below
these two geologic units at an unknown depth (Kirkham and Widmann, 1997). The
evaporite is susceptible to solution in fresh water and the resulting subsurface voids can
produce sinkholes. Sinkholes are locally present in the region, but evidence of
sinkholes was not apparent in the project area. Surficial deposits locally present in the
area are stream alluvium (Qal and Qat) along the valley bottoms of Cattle and Coulter
Creeks, local alluvial fans (Qat) and colluvium (Qc) below the hillsides. A large
landslide complex (Qls) borders the property on the south and covers much of the north
Cattle Creek canyon side. Several northwest trending, normal faults are inferred to be
present in the southeastern part of the property.
H -P GEOTECH

SEDIMENTS OF MISSOURI HEIGHTS
The sediments of Missouri Heights (QTm) were deposited during the late Pliocene or
early Pleistocene in a broad bowl shaped area of Cattle Creek. The bowl is an
evaporite subsidence depression that is about 7 miles long in the east -west direction and
about 2 miles wide in the north -south direction (Kirkham and Others, 2002). The
sediments were deposited by a west flowing stream in fluvial, deltaic and lake settings.
The project area lies near the western margin of the bowl and moderate to high
plasticity clays, probably deposited in a former lake, were encountered in most of our
exploratory borings, see Figures. 2, 3, and 4. The lake clays have a moderate to high
expansion potential and are greater than 20 to 30 feet thick at the boring sites.
MIOCENE -AGE VOLCANIC ROCKS
Miocene -age basalt flows (Tvm) that have been broken and deformed by evaporite
subsidence are present below the prominent hill in the southeastern part of the project
site and probably underlies the sediment of Missouri Heights elsewhere in the project
area. Basalt locally crops out, but it is usually covered by thin colluvium. Broken and
fractured basalt was encountered at the surface in Boring 11 near the top of the hill.
The basalt is a black, very dense and hard rock. The evaporite deformation has broken
the rock into large blocks that typically have soil in fillings between the blocks.
FAULTS
Three normal faults related to past evaporite deformation are inferred, based on aerial
photograph lineations and local topographic expression, to be present in the
southeastern part of the project area. The inferred faults lie along the trends of
previously mapped faults to the south of Cattle Creek (Kirkham and Widmann, 1997).
In places, steep escarpments in basalt that are about 10 feet high are present along the
H -P GEOTECH
5
trend of some of the inferred faults and the western two faults form a graben on the
southwest side of the hill in the southeastern part of the project area.
LANDSLIDE COMPLEX
A Large, deep seated rotational landslide complex (Qls) covers much of the northern
Cattle Creek canyon side to the southwest of the project area and locally extends onto
the property. Judging from the size of the individual rotational blocks, the basal shear
surface may be over 100 feet deep and is probably in the Eagle Valley Evaporite or
evaporite collapse debris that crops out down canyon from the landslide complex. The
landslide appears to have been dormant with respect to large scale movement for some
time, but it could be undergoing seasonal creep. The present crown escarpment appears
to be along the trend of the western most of the three inferred faults in the southeastern
part of the project area.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was initiated on January 13, 2003 when digging
with a backhoe for four percolation tests was attempted. Due to the frost, only Pit 1 on
Lot 23 could be dug. The field exploration for the remaining project was conducted
between January 30 and February 5, 2003. Twelve exploratory borings were drilled
with a truck mounted CME -45B drill rig using 4 inch diameter power auger at the
locations shown on Figs. 1A, 1B and 1C to evaluate the subsurface conditions. The
borings were logged by a representative of Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with 1% 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-1586. The penetration resistance values are an indication of the
relative density or consistency of the subsoils and hardness of the bedrock. Depths at
H -P GEOTECH
6
which the samples were taken and the penetration resistance values are shown on the
Logs of Exploratory Borings, Figures 2 through 4. The samples were returned to our
laboratory for review by the project engineer and testing.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on
Figures 2 through 4. The subsoils generally consist of 1 to 2 feet of topsoil overlying
very stiff sandy clay with scattered gravel layers. Relatively dense, silty to clayey
sandy gravel with basalt cobbles and boulders was encountered at various depths in
Borings 4, 6, 10 and 11 and in Pit 1. Drilling and digging in the basalt materials was
difficult due to the rock hardness and size and practical refusal was encountered in the
deposits.
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included natural
moisture content and density, Atterberg limits, gradation analyses, unconfined
compressive strength and Hveem stabilometer `R' value. Results of swell -consolidation
testing performed on relatively undisturbed drive samples of the clay soils, presented on
Figures 6 through 11, generally indicate low compressibility under existing low
moisture conditions and light loading and a low to high expansion potential when wetted
under a constant light surcharge. The clays with low expansive potential showed
swelling pressures typically between about 3,000 to 5,000 psf, and the clays with
moderate to high expansive potential showed swelling pressures typically between about
8,000 to 20,000 psf. Results of gradation analyses performed on the more granular
soils are presented on Figure 12, and the Hveem stabilometer test results are presented
on Figure 13. The laboratory testing is summarized in Table 1.
No free water was encountered in the borings or pit at the time of drilling or digging
and the subsoils were slightly moist to moist.

GEOLOGIC SITE ASSESSMENT
There are several conditions of a geologic nature that should be considered in future
project planning and design. These conditions are not expected to have a major impact
on general project feasibility, but some modifications to the currently proposed building
locations would reduce potential risks associated with a major landslide reactivation.
The geologic conditions that should be considered in planning and design and their
potential risk are described below.
EXPANSIVE FOUNDATION CONDITIONS
Most of the proposed 26 building envelopes and proposed roads are underlain by the
sediments of Missouri Heights (QTm). Our exploratory borings and laboratory testing
shows that this geologic unit is mostly moderately to highly plastic clay that has an
expansion potential. C ene t foundation recommendations appropriate for the on-site
expansive clays are discussed in the Preliminary Design Recommendations section of
this report.
EXCAVATION DIFFICULTIES
Difficult excavation conditions should be expected when excavating in the basalt (Tvm)
in the southeastern part of the project area. Because of the fractured and broken nature
of the basalt it can probably be ripped with heavy duty equipment in open excavations.
Blasting or other rock excavating techniques may be needed to excavate the basalt in
confined excavations such as utility trenches. Also, blasting may be needed in open
excavations if large basalt blocks are present or if unbroken basalt is present.
H -P GEOTECH

LANDSLIDE REACTIVATION
The landslide complex along the northen Cattle Creek canyon side appears to have been
dormant with respect to large scale moment for some time, but the landslide may be
undergoing seasonal creep movements. Seasonal landslide creep should not affect areas
beyond the mapped landslide boundary shown on Figs. 1A, 1B and 1C. Although
active creep may be occurring, in our opinion, the likelihood of a major landslide
reactivation during a reasonable exposure time for the project is low. In the unlikely
event of a major landslide reactivation the large scale movements would probably be
restricted to the mapped landslide boundary shown on Figs. 1A, 1B and 1C, but they
could potentially extend further to the northeast of the present landslide boundary If a
low risk of major landslide reactivation is not acceptable, then buildings or other
movement sensitive facilities should not be located within about 150 feet from the
landslide boundary shown on Figs. 1A, 1B and 1C. AAs presently planned, pans"
proposed building envelopes on Lots 11, 12, 13, 16 and 17 are within 150 feet of the
present landslide boundary. The 150 foot setback is approximate and when specific
building and other facility locations have been determined, their location should be field
review to determine that an appropriate setback has been considered.
REGIONAL EVAPORITE DEFORMATION
The project site is in the Carbondale evaporite collapse center where regional ground
deformations have been associated with evaporite solution and flow in the geologic past.
Evaporite deformation in the project area probably started about 10 million years ago,
but it is uncertain if the deformation is still active or if deformation has stopped. If
evaporite deformation is still active, it appears to be taking place at very slow rates and
over broad areas with little risk of abrupt differential ground displacement except along
evaporite related faults. We are not aware of evaporate related deformation problems in
the region. In our opinion, the currently available information on regional evaporite
deformation would indicate that risks to the residential development at the project site
H -P GEOTECH
9
are low. The low risk can be further reduced by not locating buildings or other
movement sensitive facilities within 50 feet of the faults shown on Figs. 1B and 1C.
Faults are present in parts of the currently proposed building envelopes on Lots 18, 19,
20and 21.
SINKHOLES
Evidence of sinkholes was not observed on the property in the field or on the aerial
photographs reviewed. The sinkhole risk on the property is viewed to be low and no
greater than that present in other parts of Garfield County where the evaporite is near
the surface. The potential for shallow subsurface voids that could develop into
sinkholes should be considered when planning site specific geotechnical studies at
building sites and other movement sensitive facilities. If conditions indicative of
sinkhole related problems are encountered, the site should be abandoned or the
feasibility of mitigation evaluated. Mitigation measures could include:
• Stabilization by Grouting
• Stabilization by Excavation and Backfilling
• Deep Foundation Systems
• Structural Bridging
• Mat Foundations
• Set -back from the Potential Sinkhole Area
Water features such as landscape ponds are not recommend near building sites unless
evaluated on a site specific basis. Home owners should be advised of the sinkhole
potential, since early detection of foundation distress and timely remedial actions are
important in reducing the cost of remediation, should a sinkhole start to develop after
construction.
H -P GEOTECH

EARTHQUAKE CONSIDERATIONS
The project area could experience earthquake related ground shaking. Modified
Mercalli Intensity VI ground shaking should be expected during a reasonable exposure
time for the development, but the probability for stronger ground shaking is low.
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. Occupied and other
important structures 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 Uniform Building Code, Seismic Risk Zone 1. Based 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.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
The conclusions and recommendations presented below are based on the proposed
development, subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory borings and pit, and
our experience in the area. The recommendations are suitable for planning and
preliminary design but site specific studies should be conducted for the individual
development facilities and for building on each lot.
FOUNDATIONS
Bearing conditions will vary depending on the specific location of the building on the
property. Most of the soils encountered at shallow depth consist of expansive clays. In
general, we expect lightly loaded spread footings placed on the natural clay soils with
lower expansion potential or on granular soils should be suitable for building support.
We expect the footings can be sized for an allowable bearing pressure in the range of
2,000 psf to 4,000 psf. Where clays with low expansive potential are encountered in
building areas, the clay may need to be removed or the footings designed to impose a
H -P GEOTECH
11
minimum dead load pressure to limit potential heave. Where the clays have moderate to
high expansive potential, drilled piers or helical piers that extend to below the expansive
material will probably be needed. Boulders could result in irregular bearing conditions
for spread footings and make pier installations difficult. Foundation walls should be
designed to span local anomalies and to resist lateral earth loadings when acting as
retaining structures. Expansive clays should not be used as backfill behind foundation
walls that act as retaining structures. Below grade areas and retaining walls should be
protected from wetting and hydrostatic pressure by use of an underdrain system. The
footings should have a minimum depth of 36 inches for frost protection. The subsoils
encountered at the tank site (Boring 4 location) appears suitable to support an above
ground steel structure placed on a prepared subgrade.
FLOOR SLABS
Slab -on -grade construction should be feasible for bearing on the natural soils with low to
no expansion potential. There could be some post construction slab movement at sites
with expansive clays. Crawlspace construction should be used in moderately to highly
expansive soil areas. Subexcavation of the clays to a depth of at least 3 feet and
replacement with non -expansive structural fill may be used in the garage areas with a
risk of heave. 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
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although free water was not encountered during our exploration, it has been our
experience in the area and where clay soils are present that local perched groundwater
can develop during times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. An underdrain
H -P GEOTECH
12
system should be provided to protect below -grade construction, such as retaining walls,
crawlspace 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 1% to a suitable
gravity outlet.
srrE cpanu
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 and cut and fill depths are
limited. Cut depths for the building pads and driveway access should not exceed about
10 feet. Fills should be limited to about 10 feet deep and not encroach steep downhill
sloping areas. Structural fills should be compacted to at least 95 % of the maximum
standard Proctor density within 2% of 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 slopes that exceed 20% grade. The on-site soils
excluding oversized rock and topsoil should be suitable for use in embankment fills.
The highly plastic clays should not be used as structural fill beneath buildings and
pavements.
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.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
The grading plan for the subdivision should consider runoff from uphill slopes through
the project and at individual sites. Water should not be concentrated and directed onto
steep slopes or allowed to pond which could impact slope stability and foundations. To
H -P GEOTECH
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 subgrade soils encountered at the site consist primarily of medium to high plasticity
clay. Silty to clayey sandy gravel with cobbles and boulders was encountered beneath
the topsoil at some of the borings. The clay soils are considered a poor support for
pavement materials. Based on the soil conditions encountered in the borings and the
laboratory test results, a subgrade Hveem 'R' value of 5 is recommended for pavement
design. The coarser soils encountered in several of the borings would have a higher 'R'
value, on the order of 25. The actual subgrade conditions should be evaluated at the
time of construction. It may be feasible to provide a subbase layer of the on-site
gravelly soils to improve the subgrade support condition. With adequate subbase and
base course material depths, a chip and seal roadway surface should be feasible.
RADIATION POTENTIAL
The proposed development is not located in an area where geologic deposits are
ctedto have unusually high concentrations of radioactive minerals. However, there
is a potential that radon gas could be present in the area. It is difficult to assess the
potential for future radon gas concentrations in buildings before the buildings are
constructed. Testing for radon gas can be done after construction of a residence or other
occupied structure. New buildings are often designed with provisions for ventilation of
lower enclosed spaces should post construction testing show unacceptable radon gas
concentrations.
LIMITATIONS
This study has been conducted according to generally accepted geotechnical engineering
principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either express or
14
implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon
the data obtained from the field reconnaissance, review of published geologic reports,
the exploratory borings and pit located as shown on Figs. 1A, 1B and 1C, 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 borings and
pit 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 may require additional analysis or
modifications to the recommendations presented herein. We recommend review of
geologic conditions at the building locations, and additional subsurface exploration and
analysis for the individual building designs.

Disturbed bulk sample.
TOPSOIL; organic sandy silt and clay, dark brown, frozen.
CLAY (CL); sandy, scattered gravel to gravelly, very stiff, slightly moist to moist, brown, slightly
calcareous, medium to high plasticity.
CLAY (CH); slightly sandy, stiff to very stiff, moist, mottled brown and grey, high plasticity.
CLAY AND SAND (CL—SC); gravelly, very stiff/medium dense, slightly moist to moist, mixed brown,
slightly to highly calcareous, low to medium plasticity.
GRAVEL AND CLAY (GC—CL); sandy, basalt cobbles and scattered boulders, medium dense, slightly
moist to moist, brown, slightly calcareous.
GRAVEL (GM—GC); silty to clayey, sandy, with cobbles and boulders, medium dense to dense, slightly
moist to moist, mixed grey—brown.
Relatively undisturbed drive sample; 2—inch 1.0. California liner sample.
Drive sample; standard penetration test (SPT), 1 3/8 inch I.D. split spoon sample, ASTM 0-1586.
Drive sample blow count; indicates that 20 blows of a 140 pound hammer failing 30 inches were
required to drive the California or SPT sampler 12 inches.
TPractical drilling or excavating refusal in basalt boulders.
NOTES:
1. Exploratory borings were drilled on January 30 and 31 and February 5, 2003 with a 4—inch diameter
continuous flight power auger. Pit 1 and percolation hole P-1 (Lot 23) were excavated with a backhoe on
January 13, 2003. P-2, P-3 and P-4 are 8 inch diameter power auger drilled percolation borings.
2. Locations of exploratory borings and pit were measured approximately by pacing from the features
shown on the site plan provided.
3. Elevations of exploratory borings and pit were obtained by interpolation between contours shown on the
site plan.
4. The exploratory boring and pit 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 and pit logs represent the approximate
boundaries between material types and transitions may be gradual.
6. No free water was encountered in the borings or pit at the time of drilling or excavation. Fluctuation
in water level may occur with time.
7. Laboratory Testing. Results:
WC = Water Content ( X )
00 = Dry Density ( pcf )
+4 = Percent retained on No. 4 sieve.
-200 = Percent passing No. 200 sieve.
LL = Liquid Limit (% )
P1 = Plasticity Index ( % )
UC = Unconfined Compressive Strength ( psf )
R = Hveem Stabilometer "R" Value

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF FINAL SATISFACTION OF
SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENTS AGREEMENT
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENT that:
WHEREAS, SLC -Laurence, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, entered into a Subdivision
Improvements Agreement ("SIA") with the Board of County Commissioners of Garfield County, Colorado
(hereinafter "Board") dated March 15, 2004. recorded on June 9, 2004 in Book 1595, at Page 119 as Reception
No. 653767 of the Garfield County records for the improvements of The Ranch at Coulter Creek; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of the SIA SLC -Laurence posted an irrevocable
standby letter of credit issued by Alpine Bank Aspen in the amount of $762,376.88 which was the estimated
cost of completing the subdivision improvements for The Ranch at Coulter Creek which were not completed at
the time of approval of the SIA; and
WHEREAS, SLC -Laurence, LLC has presented a certification from Sopris Engineering, LLC dated
July 26, 2004 certifying that SLC -Laurence, LLC has completed subdivision improvements associated with
The Ranch at Coulter Creek having an actual cost of construction of $2,320,401.88 including those that were
incomplete at the time of execution of the SIA, and requesting that based upon said certification the amount of
the original letter of credit in the amount of $762,376.88 be reduced to a total amount of $0.00 as a result of all
construction obligations required in the Subdivision Improvement Agreement being completed as detailed in
said certification.
