1.0 introduction
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko) retained Tetra Tech, Inc. (Tetra Tech) to perform
the following tasks:
• conduct a geotechnical investigation to characterize the subsurface for use in the
design of an earthen water storage facility at the Gobbler site;
• perform an engineering evaluation and cost analysis comparison of different
process water storage alternatives;
• design an earthen embankment and storage pit system to retain fresh water for
use in hydraulic fracturing operations;
• identify requirements for permitting the facility according to applicable regulations
of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) and other
regulatory and municipality organizations; and
• provide construction oversight during construction of the earthen water storage
facility.
This technical memorandum presents documentation and details of the design and analysis for
facilities to store fresh water used in hydraulic fracturing operations, located in the northeast 1/4
of Section 23, Township 2 North, Range 66 West, Weld County, Colorado. The memorandum
includes details of the geotechnical investigation of the site, assumptions made in the design
and analysis, descriptions and details of the analysis methods used, referenced documents, and
results, conclusions, opinions and recommendations regarding the Gobbler site and its
development as an earthen retaining structure for water storage.
2.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Gobbler site is located approximately 7.6 miles southeast of Platteville, CO and
approximately 4.0 miles east of U.S. Highway 85. Figure 1 shows a general location map. The
site is generally flat, with a maximum elevation of 5155 feet near the center of the proposed
facility and a minimum elevation of 5145 near the northwest, northeast, and southeast corners
of the proposed pit, based on land surveying conducted by Petroleum Field Services, LLC. The
facility site is located on undeveloped land which is currently vegetated with prairie grasses
generally less than 0.5 feet in height.
The facility is proposed to be constructed partially in-ground with earthen embankments above
the existing ground surface, forming a storage impoundment for water used in hydraulic
fracturing operations by Anadarko. The pit will be filled and emptied using a system of pumps
and piping. Piping should be installed in such a way that it does not puncture or damage the
geomembrane liner system. As required by COGCC Rule 902.b. the pit was designed to
achieve the required capacity while maintaining 2 feet of freeboard; the pit will not include an
emergency spillway.
The pit will include a leak detection system (LDS) that will consist of a 60 mil liner, overlain by a
HDPE geonet, overlain by another 60 mil liner. The geonet will serve to protect both liners from
puncture and will collect water that penetrates the primary (top) geomembrane liner.
The pit dimensions were selected to maximize height requirements, maximize storage capacity
within the site restrictions, and balance earthwork cut and fill requirements. The footprint of the
facility (including both pit and embankments) is approximately 15% acres with the pit being 350
feet by 770 feet from inside crest to inside crest. The crest of the pit embankments will be
constructed between 5 and 9.5 feet above existing grade, making it a non-jurisdictional dam per
the Colorado Division of Water Resources Rule 4.2.5.2. The storage capacity of the pit,
assuming 2 feet of freeboard, will be approximately 500,000 barrels. The inside slopes of the pit
will have 3 Horizontal: 1 Vertical slopes (3H:1V) and the landside slopes start at 50H:1V at the
crest and transition to 5H:1 V moving away from the pit. The facility dimensions and positioning
on site can be seen in Figure 2. Details for facility construction are discussed in the earthwork
section of this memorandum. Final construction drawings and specifications will be provided
prior to construction commencement.
3.0 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION AND SUBSURFACE
CONDITIONS
3.1 Field Investigation
On March 26, 2012, Tetra Tech drilled four exploratory borings to characterize the subsurface
lithology, determine the in-situ moisture and density conditions, and obtain samples for
laboratory testing. Locations for exploratory borings were identified during a site visit by
members of Tetra Tech's design team and Anadarko staff on March 15, 2012. Approximate
boring locations are shown on Figure 1 in Attachment A. The subsurface soils generally
consisted of silty or clayey sands and low plasticity clays. Additional information regarding the
subsurface geotechnical properties is presented in the following sections.
3.1.1 Soil Sample Collection
Borings were drilled to a depth of 40 feet below the existing ground surface. The elevation,
latitude, and longitude were recorded at each boring location using a hand-held GPS and are
provided on the boring logs. Locations of the borings were also recorded by Petroleum Field
Services, LLC. Geotechnical logs of each boring are provided in Attachment A.
Greater DJ Water Gathering July 12, 2012 2
Drive samples up to 18 inches in length were collected during drilling at 5 foot intervals to the
total depth drilled. During sampling, Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) was performed by
driving a thick-walled sampler (California Sampler) containing brass liners into the soil using a
140 lb. weight falling approximately 30 inches. After "seating" the sampler into undisturbed soil,
the blow count (N Value) was recorded as the number of blows required to drive the sampler 12
inches. The N Value was recorded on the logs and was used to categorize the consistency of
the soil. Blow counts indicate the soil consistency of the fine-grained material is medium stiff to
hard and the coarse grained material is loose to dense.
Bulk samples were also collected during drilling in order to provide samples for re-molding to
approximate properties that are representative of material that will be used in construction of the
embankments. In general bulk samples were collected from auger cuttings on material ranging
in depth from 0 to 14 feet below the existing ground surface. Two samples were collected on
material type classified as low plasticity clay and gravelly sand, respectively. Additional
information pertaining to in-situ moisture conditions, classification, laboratory compaction
testing, and remolded shear strength, permeability, and swell-consolidation testing of
embankment materials is discussed below.
Samples were examined and visually classified. A laboratory testing program was designed to
characterize and to identify key engineering properties of the soils to evaluate seepage potential
and stability of the embankments for engineering design. Selected samples were tested in the
laboratory for in-situ density and water content, gradation, Atterberg limits, swell and
consolidation, compaction, permeability, and shear strength. Geotechnical properties and
laboratory testing results are summarized in Table 1 (below) and a more detailed summary of
each test is included in Attachment B. Subsurface characteristics are described in more detail
below.
3.1.2 Subsurface Conditions & Laboratory Test Results
All soil classifications discussed in the following sections were determined in accordance with
ASTM D2487. In general, the soils encountered on site were alternating layers of clayey sand
and low plasticity clay to depths between 10 and 14 feet below existing grade. These layers
were underlain by gravelly sand or sand to a depth of between 19 and 25 feet. Gravelly sand
and sand layers were underlain by weathered claystone bedrock and comparatively
unweathered claystone bedrock to a drilling termination depth of 40 feet. Tt-7 encountered
shallower claystone bedrock at a depth of 15 feet, and Tt-5 and Tt-8 encountered deeper
claystone bedrock at depths of 24.5 and 25 feet, respectively, indicative of the elevation
differences of the top of the borings (as shown in Attachment A). Six inches or less of topsoil-
like material was encountered at the ground surface in all four borings. The "topsoil" layer did
not contain abundant organic material. The upper subsurface zone including primarily clays and
sands which will be the primary borrow source of fill used in embankment construction. The
lower zone, where bedrock predominates will form the embankment foundation and will affect
the flow of water from the pit, should the liner system be compromised during the life of the pit.
The in-situ water content in the tested soil samples ranged from 2.2 to 18.7 percent and the in-
situ dry density ranged from 88.9 to 129.7 pounds per cubic foot (pct). Atterberg limits testing
indicated the liquid limit of the clayey soils ranged from 21 to 62 and the plasticity index ranged
from 6 to 37. Grain size distribution testing was performed on twelve samples of varying depth
in each bore hole. The results indicate that the upper 6 to 14 feet of the four boreholes contain
similar amounts of sand and fine grained particles and are classified as clayey sand and lean
clay. At a depth of approximately 5 feet below existing grade the fines (passing the No. 200
Greater DJ Water Gathering July 12, 2012 3
sieve) content of the subsurface increases significantly and classifications range from clayey
sand to lean clay. Bedrock was classified as high plasticity clay and containing 93 percent fine
sized particles (passing the no. 200 sieve).
Standard compaction (Proctor) testing was performed according to ASTM D698 on two bucket
samples collected from 0 to 7 and from 14 to 21 feet below existing grade. For purposes of this
discussion, the sample from 0 to 7 feet will be called the shallow sample and the sample from
14 to 21 feet will be called the deep sample. Samples of similar materials from each bore hole
were combined to provide representative samples of similar materials from the site. Proctor
testing determined the maximum dry density and optimum water content of the shallow and
deep samples to be 119.4 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) at 10.3 percent and 128.7 pcf at 9.0
percent, respectively. Adequate compaction of the embankments during construction will be
determined relative to standard Proctor compaction testing, as indicated in the construction
specifications.
Two remolded direct shear tests were conducted on potential embankment material from the
two bulk samples collected. Samples were remolded according to standard Proctor compaction
testing to 95 percent of the maximum dry density and at the optimum water content. Test
results indicate a total cohesion of 400 pounds per square foot (psf) with an angle of internal
friction of 35 degrees for the shallow sample. A total cohesion of 980 pounds per square foot
(psf) with an angle of internal friction of 28 degrees was determined for the deep sample.
Three permeability tests were conducted: two remolded samples on potential embankment
material from the two bulk samples collected (as described previously) and one on in-situ soils
from boring Tt-7 at 9 feet. The two remolded samples were compacted based on standard
Proctor compaction testing to 95 percent of the maximum dry density and a water content 1
percent less than the optimum. The remolded test using material from the shallow sample
indicated a saturated hydraulic conductivity of 2.06E-4 centimeters per second (cm/s). The
remolded test using material from the deep sample indicated a saturated hydraulic conductivity
of 1.67E-5 centimeters per second (cm/s). The in-situ sample tested had a saturated hydraulic
conductivity of 4.47E-4.
Two swell-consolidation tests were performed, both on remolded potential embankment
materials. The remolded samples were compacted to 95 percent of the maximum dry density
and a water content of optimum based on standard Proctor compaction testing. Under an
inundation pressure of 500 psf the remolded bulk samples from 0 to 7 and 14 to 21 feet bgs
exhibited no volume change. The compression index (Ce) ranged from 0.04 to 0.05 and
recompression index (Cs) was 0.02 for both remolded potential embankment samples. Overall,
both samples were relatively incompressible over the range of applied vertical stresses
investigated. Complete consolidation testing data can be viewed in Attachment B.
Based on geotechnical laboratory investigations, the properties of both bulk samples indicate
that they are both suitable for use as fill to construct earthen embankments. If properties of
excavated materials deviate significantly from the two bulk samples tested, the engineer on site
performing observation should immediately determine whether the material is adequate for use
in the construction of the embankments. If materials are significantly different than those
anticipated, the specifications may need to be revised relating to the ability to properly use and
compact the materials. A more detailed description of embankment material and compaction
guidelines is provided with the construction drawings and specifications.
3.1.3 Groundwater
Greater DJ Water Gathering July 12, 2012 4
The four exploratory borings drilled at the site penetrated to a depth of 40 feet. At the time of
drilling, water was not encountered in any of the boreholes. Tt-5 and Tt-8 were left open for a
period of 24 hours to determine ground water conditions after drilling. Water was not
encountered in Tt-5, but water was measured at 31 feet bgs in boring Tt-8 24 hours after drilling.
An extensive study of the groundwater regime in the area was beyond the scope of this
investigation; however we opine that the water which seeped into boring Tt-8 was from a
porous, discontinuous sandstone lens within the claystone bedrock. We believe that the
perched water encountered will have little to no effect on facility construction, operations, or
sustainability.

4.0 SEEPAGE AND SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSES
Instability of earthen embankments used to retain fluids can occur by several mechanisms;
three of which pertain to future site conditions and are listed below:
1. Water seeping through and/or under the embankments exiting on the downstream
side with a velocity that is sufficient to mobilize soil particles (piping), resulting in
destabilization. This mechanism can ultimately lead to failure of the embankment, or
can contribute to slope instability if the condition is not corrected.
2. Decrease in shear strength of the embankment, or slope failure as a result of over-
steepening of slopes due to erosion, piping, overtopping of the crest, construction
practices or other factors.
3. Decrease in strength of the soil due to horizontal forces caused by seismic activity.
To evaluate the potential for these mechanisms to contribute to instability of the embankments,
Tetra Tech utilized the finite element computer modeling program SEEP/W to evaluate seepage
conditions through and under embankments, and SLOPE/W to evaluate the stability of the
embankment slopes. The most critical cross-section was identified based on the proposed
design and the site survey of existing ground, and that section was analyzed for seepage and
slope stability.
For modeling purposes, the elevation of the fluid in the pit was assumed to be at the maximum
design capacity (2 ft below the crest, freeboard elevation) and full (at the crest of the
embankment). Although the pit will be lined, modeling scenarios omitted the liner system to
simulate a worst case scenario in which a liner breach occurred, resulting in a steady state
seepage scenario, reducing the stability of the embankments by increasing the unit weight of
embankment materials and inducing seepage forces.
4.1 Design Guidelines
Section 4.0 provides key assumptions that were made in the investigation and analysis of this
embankment structure. Analysis of the embankment was conducted according to Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) TR-60 criteria governing the design and construction
of earth dams and reservoirs, although the pit embankments are less than or equal to 10 feet
above existing grade at the embankment crest centerline and at the maximum section, which is
under the height of a jurisdictional dam in the state of Colorado. TR-60, Table 5-2 recommends
the minimum factors of safety, shown in Table 2 below. The horizontal acceleration used for the
pseudo static analysis was 0.05g which corresponds to Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) with 2
percent probability of exceedance in 50 years for this site according to the U.S. Geologic Survey
(USGS) 2010 Earthquake Hazards Program Seismic Hazard Maps.

4.2 Input Parameters
Laboratory testing was performed on samples collected during drilling operations as described
above. Due to the uncertainty and variability of soils and the inherent differences normally
observed between laboratory results and actual field conditions, engineering judgment and a
measure of conservatism were applied to the laboratory results for their use in the computer
models. A summary of laboratory test results is presented in Table 1 and the laboratory test
results are presented in Attachment B. Table 3 presents the engineering properties of site soils
used in the cross section modeled.

4.3 Analysis
The seepage and slope stability analyses were conducted on the most critical two-dimensional
cross-section of the proposed embankment (see Figure 2). The most conservative cross-section
was considered to include the highest elevation differential, steepest and longest slopes, and/or
the weakest materials. As discussed earlier, all interior embankment slopes will be constructed
at 3H:1 V and the exterior embankment will be either 5H:1 V or 50H:1 V.
Tetra Tech July 12, 2012 8
The analyses were performed using the Seep/W and Slope/W components of GeoStudio 2007
by Geo-Slope International, Ltd (2007). Seep/W was used to conduct steady state finite element
seepage analyses. The size of the finite element mesh in the seepage model was set to 1.0
feet. Constant boundary conditions included a potential seepage face, fluid total head elevation,
and ground water levels measured in exploratory borings after drilling.
A steady state seepage analysis implies that the seepage occurred over a period of time
sufficient enough to fully define the phreatic surface and provide continuous seepage
magnitudes at all locations through and under the embankments. The static condition describes
the normal, long term operating levels of the pit. Rapid drawdown occurs when the pit has
achieved a steady state and constant phreatic surface, and then the water surface elevation is
rapidly lowered such that the saturated embankment is no longer supported by hydrostatic
pressures.
The pseudo-static condition adds an additional horizontal loading condition occurring due to
seismic loading. The pseudo-static magnitude was determined using a U.S. Geologic Survey
(USGS) seismic risk maps for the area.
4.3.1 Seepage
Seepage analyses were performed on the critical cross sections of the pit embankment to
evaluate the performance of the embankment, and estimate seepage flux, or volume of
seepage per time, on the downstream side of the embankment, and to estimate pore pressure
conditions within the embankment for use in slope stability analyses. The HDPE liner was
neglected in the analysis for conservatism, as discussed above.
The fluid level was modeled at the freeboard elevation and at the maximum embankment
height, which are approximately 13 ft and 15 ft above the base of the earthen impoundment,
respectively. These surface elevations were selected for modeling because they represent the
critical design water elevations for this facility. For this pit the fluid was assumed to be fresh
water with a specific gravity of 1.0. An alteration in the fluid specific gravity will have little effect
on the final results. A fluid specific gravity up to 1.25 provides factors of safety above the
required limits (Table 2).
Boundary conditions equal to the respective water heights were applied on the upstream face of
the embankment while the boundary condition of a potential seepage face was applied to the
downstream face of the embankment.
4.3.2 Slope Stability
Stability was analyzed using limit equilibrium principles. Potential failure surfaces were analyzed
using the Spencer method, which satisfies both force and moment equilibrium in and between
slices. The Slope/W program incorporates a search routine to locate the failure surface with the
lowest factor of safety within user defined search limits. Trial failure surfaces were defined with
"entry and exit" parameters, resulting in a range of possible locations to search for the critical
potential failure surface (lowest factor of safety). Analyses were performed using Mohr-Coulomb
failure criteria for the soil materials.
For the pore pressure conditions, the steady state seepage files from SEEP/W were used as the
parent analysis for the analyses' input data, except for the rapid drawdown case where the
phreatic surface was drawn manually to indicate the dividing line between saturated and
unsaturated conditions, as discussed above. Slope stability analyses were performed for both
Tetra Tech July 12, 2012 9
upstream and downstream side slopes, assuming static and pseudo-static seismic loading
conditions, for fluid at freeboard elevation and at the maximum embankment elevation, and for
the upstream, static, rapid drawdown scenario as described above.
4.4 Seepage Analyses Results
Detailed computer output illustrating the results of seepage analyses for the pit embankment at
maximum design (freeboard) elevation and at crest elevation are included in Attachment C. The
seepage flux was determined at the downstream toe of the modeled embankment, at the
location most susceptible to piping. The results of seepage modeling are presented in Table 4,
below.
Table 4. Liquid flux at the downstream toe of the modeled pit embankment and topsoil
stockpile
Cross-Section Scenario Liquid Flux(ft /s)
Pit Embankments Crest Elevation 6 8E-06
Pit Embankments Freeboard Elevation 5.0E-06
The results shown in Table 4 imply that the volume of seepage through the embankment, per
foot of length of embankment, is negligible and will not yield problematic piping. Seepage
analyses were conducted for the embankments assuming a no liner condition, simulating a total
liner failure which is an unexpected and conservative assumption. The seepage flux was
approximately equal for both water surface elevations modeled. These results indicate minimal
risk of seepage related failures, even for unlined embankments.
The hydraulic gradient of the downstream slope at the toe of the embankment (the location most
susceptible to piping) was calculated to be 0.354. According to methodology recommended by
the USACE, the factor of safety against piping caused by an excessive hydraulic gradient can
be calculated as the critical hydraulic gradient divided by the measured hydraulic gradient. The
critical hydraulic gradient is the ratio of the buoyant unit weight of soil to the unit weight of water.
For our calculations, a conservative moist unit weight of 126 pcf was applied at the toe of the
embankment resulting in a critical hydraulic gradient of 1.7. Thus, the factor of safety against
piping was calculated as 4.9. These calculations indicate a low risk of embankment distress or
failure due to seepage.
4.5 Stability Analysis Results
The stability analyses incorporated the pore pressure results from the seepage analyses
described in the previous section. Table 5 presents the results of the slope stability modeling for
the critical portion of the pit embankment. Upstream and downstream slopes were analyzed for
pit embankments. Conditions analyzed for slope stability included the following scenarios:
• Downstream at freeboard elevation, static
• Downstream at freeboard elevation, pseudo-static
• Upstream at freeboard elevation, static
• Upstream at freeboard elevation, pseudo-static
• Downstream at crest elevation, static
• Downstream at crest elevation, pseudo-static
• Upstream at crest elevation, static
• Upstream at crest elevation, pseudo-static

The results of the analyses indicate that the embankment slopes meet or exceed the minimum
factors of safety recommended by NRCS for small earthen dams. The highest factors of safety
were calculated for static conditions; the lowest factor of safety, 1.3, was produced by the
downstream, pseudo-static, crest elevation scenario. The psuedo-static results also meet or
exceed the minimum factors of safety. These results indicate that for the conditions modeled,
the design embankment slopes are stable. Detailed computer output illustrating the results of
the slope stability analyses for the pit are presented in Attachment C.
5.0 CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN
A location was identified by Anadarko and investigated as described above to determine the
suitability for construction of a facility to be used for storage of water. A minimum capacity of
250,000 barrels was specified by Anadarko, but a preference was specified to maximize the
design capacity to the extent possible given site conditions. The final design capacity is
approximately 500,000 barrels assuming 2 feet of freeboard is maintained. The design was
prepared in accordance with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission requirements
and generally accepted engineering practices.
5.1 Layout and Capacity
As designed, the Gobbler site pit is a rectangular structure with interior dimensions of
approximately 350 feet by 770 feet. The interior slopes are 3H:1 V. To balance the excavation
and fill quantities as closely as possible, the crest was set at approximately 5 to 9.5 feet above
Tetra Tech July 12, 2012 11
existing grade and exterior slopes are either 5H:1 V or 50H:1 V. The pit floor slopes at one
percent towards the northeast, and a 22 feet by 22 feet by 3 feet sump is planned at the
northeast side midpoint to collect seepage through the primary liner.
The pit will have an overall depth from the crest to the floor of the pit of approximately 15 feet.
The crest elevation does not exceed 10 feet above existing grade in any location. A depth
versus capacity curve is provided on the drawings.
After construction of the embankments, an adequate fence and gate system should be installed
around the embankment perimeter. Anadarko has indicated they plan to install a 5 strand
barbed wire fence. Weather and UV-resistant safety lines with floats should also be planned for
as a safety feature in the event of accidental entrance into the impounded water by workers.
Geotechnical investigation of the site encountered minimal topsoil in all four of the borings.
Prior to excavation and fill, the upper 6 inches of soil should be stripped from the ground surface
below the facility footprint. This material should be temporarily stockpiled as topsoil at the
location shown on the drawings. Following construction and grading of the embankment, the
topsoil can be temporarily placed 11 inches thick on the exterior slopes of the embankment.
During closure the topsoil should again be moved to a temporary stockpile then replaced as the
final ground surface.
5.2 Earthwork
Prior to placing fill, the bases of those areas to receive fill should be scarified, moisture treated
to within two percent of optimum water content, and compacted to at least 90 percent of
standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). Fill should be mixed to a uniform
consistency, placed in maximum loose lifts not to exceed 12 inches, moisture treated to within
three percent of optimum water content and compacted to at least 95 percent of standard
Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698).
Based on exploratory drilling, we anticipate that materials excavated from the pit will be primarily
silty, clayey sand, and lean clay. A geotechnical engineer or their designated representative
should observe the construction process to identify material types, test for percent compaction
and moisture, and provide recommendations during construction. Fill used in embankment
construction should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of their maximum dry density
and within three percent of their optimum water content based on standard Proctor compaction
testing.
5.3 Geomembrane Liner
For impoundments of this size and planned use, COGCC regulations require a geomembrane
liner at least 24 mil thickness that is installed by a certified contractor. Tetra Tech recommends
a liner system incorporating a 60 mil HDPE secondary (lower) liner, overlain by a HDPE geonet,
overlain by a 60 mil primary (upper) liner for this site. The liner material must be compatible with
the intended fluid storage and should provide UV protection for the intended design life of the
facility. The liners should be installed as a continuous system; all seams should be welded or
extruded according to manufacturer recommendations. Seams should not be sewn. The
geomembrane liner will be anchored at the crest of the embankment using an anchor trench 18
inches deep and constructed in accordance with COGCC 904.c.(1).
A depth measurement system is proposed that will provide markings at one foot intervals and
large (2 foot) white numerals every 3 feet extruded on to the black liner material such that the
depth of the fluid in the pit is easily discernible. If it is desirable to reduce evaporative losses, a
Tetra Tech July 12, 2012 12
white primary liner could be used. In this case, black letters and markings would be extruded
onto the white liner surface.
5.4 Freeboard
An important aspect of embankment stability and performance is maintaining the appropriate
freeboard (the vertical distance from the water surface to the crest of the embankment). If the
freeboard is insufficient, the embankment could overtop, leading to excessive erosion and
possible failure. COGCC regulations require a minimum freeboard of 2 feet for the proposed
pit. Calculations were performed in order to determine the freeboard for this facility and to verify
that 2 feet is adequate to protect the pit from overtopping due to wind and wave action. Since
the pit is considered to be a small water body and will have a water surface length less than 1
mile, "standard" calculations for determining the wave height were not considered appropriate.
Therefore, the wave height was calculated based on methods described by Julien (2006). A
maximum wave height of 1.1 feet for standard operation was calculated. Wave run-up and
wave set-up were calculated based on figures and equations provided in "Hydraulics of Dams
and Reservoirs" (Sent(irk, 1994) and were determined to be insignificant (<0.1 feet). A design
wind speed of 90 mph was suggested by the Bureau of Reclamation for determining the
operational design freeboard and a wind speed of 50 mph for determining the minimum
freeboard.
In determining the operational freeboard, total heave or settlement (discussed below) was
incorporated in the freeboard analysis, and indicate that the operational freeboard should be at
least 2 feet at any given time. Therefore the COGCC minimum requirement of 2 feet was
determined to be appropriate and was used in the design.
5.5 Settlement of Embankment Materials
Settlement of embankment material is an important aspect of embankment stability and total
fluid storage potential. Consolidation-swell tests were conducted on representative samples of
embankment material to provide differential strain measurements upon inundation and with
differing applied vertical stresses. Consolidation-swell testing provides measurements of swell
and compressibility. Testing indicated that embankment materials were non-expansive. These
values are used to estimate the amount of settlement that can be expected in the embankment
materials post compaction. As discussed in Section 3, consolidation-swell samples were
compacted to 95 percent of the maximum dry density and at the optimum moisture content
based on standard Proctor compaction testing, which will provide a valid representation of the
swell-compression behavior given the boundaries specified for embankment compaction
(greater than 95 percent of the maximum dry density and within ±3 percent of the optimum
moisture content).
The behavior of the soils at the site was analyzed in accordance with volume change theory and
general settlement calculations (Budhu, 2011). The embankment and foundation soils were
subdivided into layers according to similar consolidation characteristics and material
classifications. The differential vertical height change of each layer was calculated based on
laboratory test results, experience with similar materials, and overburden soil and water
pressures. The net vertical height change was analyzed for the embankment height relative to
existing grade to determine potential discrepancies in storage due to differential settlements.
The total settlement of the entire facility to a depth of 50 feet below the final crest elevation was
calculated to be 3.8 inches. The differential settlement of the embankment portion was
Tetra Tech July 12, 2012 13
calculated as less than 0.1 inches and will not have insignificant effects on the overall facility
storage system.
The freeboard calculations for the pit are based on embankment subgrade with no allowance for
a road base.
5.6 Permitting and Closure
A permit application Form 2A should be filed with the COGCC in accordance with COGCC
regulations prior to construction. Upon approval of the application, construction in accordance
with COGCC regulations and the design drawings is recommended. At the completion of the
facility life cycle, closure is required.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS
Geotechnical and civil engineering investigations indicate the proposed Gobbler site is suitable
for construction of the proposed facility as described herein. The design and investigation were
based on four soil borings, and variation in subsurface conditions should be anticipated.
Construction should be conducted in accordance with COGCC regulations, the design
drawings, and this report. We believe this investigation was conducted in a manner consistent
with generally accepted geotechnical and civil engineering principles and according to methods
normally used in the vicinity of the project at this time. No warranty is made, express or implied.
Should additional information become available that could alter the analyses, conclusions, or
recommendations in this report, Tetra Tech should be contacted to review the design
documents in the light of that information to determine if revisions are needed.
