Re: Construction Observation and Testing
Stromo LLC
Hudson, Colorado
EEC Project No. 1015006A
Mr. Dunker:
Earth Engineering Consultants, Inc. (EEC) personnel have completed the requested construction
observation and testing of the newly placed lining for the runoff storage lagoon at the Stromo LLC
Composting facility in Hudson, Colorado. An outline of the testing completed as a part of that
project along with the results of our field and laboratory testing results are provided with this report.
The Stromo LLC composting facility is located near Hudson in Weld County, Colorado. The site
is currently used as a composting facility.
As outlined in our previous report dated September 5, 2001, samples of the lagoon liner materials
were delivered to our Fort Collins laboratory for standard Proctor and permeability testing. The
laboratory falling head permeability test indicated a permeability of approximately 6x10-8 cm/sec
at compaction of approximately94% of the materials maximum Proctor dry density. The results
of those tests are attached.
On September 4, 2001, EEC personnel visited the site and performed field density testing of the
newly placed lagoon liner materials. Visual observations of the in-situ lagoon liner material identify
the liner as a compacted sandy clay material. The depth of compacted materials appeared to extend
approximately 12" to 18" below the bottom of the lagoon. Field density tests were conducted at
random locations across the lagoon liner. The compaction test results were within project
compaction specifications of at least 95% of the materials maximum Proctor dry density.

Based on results of the field and laboratory testing as outlined above, it is our opinion the lagoon
liner materials as placed are suitable for use as a low-permeability pond liner. Based on the
measured permeability rates, the in-situ materials meet State of Colorado regulation for waste
storage lagoon liners,which sets a maximum permeability rate of 1/32"per day(9.19x10-'cm/sec).
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. If you have any questions
concerning this report, or if we can be of further service to you in any other way, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
