Re: A&W Water — Sandau Property - Use ➢3y Special Review Application
Statement of Adequacy of Existing Soils
Dear Tom:
As part of the USR Application for the A&W Water Service - Sandau Property, CES Consultants,
LLC (CES) has reviewed the existing soils information and performed a site visit to determine the
adequacy of the existing soils to support the proposed Water Loading Dock. The design plan is to
place ten (10) future fresh water tanks on the site. These tanks are 20,000 gallon tanks and are
raised off the ground with integral skids.
The proposed site is located in the SW 1/4 of Section 25, Township 4 North, Range 66 West in
Weld County. More specifically, the site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of
Weld County Road (WCR) 40 and WCR 35. The site is bound on the south by WCR 40 and on
the other three sides by undeveloped farmland. The existing site is covered by natural grasslands
and is 2.25 acres. The existing topography of the site slopes from the northeast corner to the
southwest corner at a 1% to 1.5% grade.
CES reviewed the soils information for the site as produced by the West Greeley Conservation
District. This information showed the soils types at the site as classified by the US Agricultural
Department Weld County Soil Survey as Vona — Loamy Sands. CES also performed a site visit
of the tank site. Per these observations, it is our opinion that the existing soils have adequate
strength and bearing capacity of support the proposed ten (10) fresh water tanks on integral skids
as shown.

additional information become available, we reserve the right to determine the impact, if any, of
the new information on our opinions and conclusions; and to revise our opinions and conclusions
