This study was performed in general accordance with our proposal number G2205025 dated January 31, 2005. The results of our engineering study, including- the boring location diagram, test boring records, laboratory test results and the geotechnical recommendations needed to aid in the design and construction of foundations and other earth connected phases of this project are attached. The subsurface soils at the site consisted of lean clays with varying amounts of sand, to clayey sand, overlying sand with silt and gravel. Claystone/siltstone bedrock was encountered below the sands at a depth of 21 feet. The information obtained by geologic survey and, the results of field exploration and laboratory testing completed for this study, indicate that the soils at the site have ow to high expansive potential. The soils at anticipated foundation bearing depth have !ow to moderate load bearing capability. Based on the geotechnical engineering analyses. subsurface exploration and laboratory test results, we recommend that the proposed residence be supported on a spread footing foundation system. Slabs on grade may be utilized provided that care is taken in the placement and compaction of the subgrade sc. . Groundwater was encountered at a depth of 5V2 feet below grade on the site. Shallow groundwater may limit the depth of below grade construction and may preclude the use of a basement. The primary methods, which can be used to mitigate the impact of shallow groundwater on the si`-a could inc'.ode limiting the depth of below grade construction and/cr raising the site with strc;-ctural fill to increase the depth t: groundwater. iivering Success for Clients and Employees Since 1965 More Than "ices Nationwide 70=====,.e. �.� -xr cartµ.,. • Proposed Single Family Residence Terracon 5610 County Line Road—Lot B Erie,Colorado Ten-aeon Project No.22055024 • Other design and construction recommendations, based upon geotechnical conditions, are presented in the report.

SIM — GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT PROPOSED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE 5610 COUNTY LINE ROAD - LOT B ERIE, COLORADO TERRACON PROJECT NO. 22055024 February 21, 2005 • INTRODUCTION This report contains the results of our geotechnical engineering exploration for the proposed residence to be located on Lot A at 6870 Weld County Road 5. The site is located in the Northwest Y< of Section 33. Township 2 North, Range 68 West of the 6th Principal Meridian in Boulder County, Colorado. The purpose of these services is to provide information and geotechnical engineering recommendations relative to: • Subsurface soil and bedrock conditions • Groundwater conditions • Foundation design and construction • Basement/garden-level construction • Floor slab design and construction • Individual sewage disposal systems • General earthwork considerations • Site drainage considerations The recommendations contained in this report are based upon the results of field and laboratory testing, engineering analyses, experience with smilar soil conditions and structures, and our understanding of the proposed project. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION Based on information provider: the client. the proposed project :J, "rdude the construction of a single-family residence at f,a subject site. We understand that tie residence will be a hvo-story, wood frame structure with a possible basement/garden-!=;e'. Maximum foundation 1 Proposed Single Family Residence Terracon 5610 County Line Road-.Lot B Erie,Colorado Terracon Project No.22055024 cuts are expected to be on the order of 1 to 3 feet below current site grades. Considering the size and type of construction planned, we anticipate comparatively light foundation loads. We also understand that the site lies within the 100-year floodplain of Boulder Creek. Accordingly, special construction details are suggested and/or required by Weld County to reduce the impact of site flooding. Other site development considerations will include the construction of an individual sewage disposal system (ISDS) in accordance with Weld County regulations. If foundation loads, or type of construction, varies from those outlined above, we should be contacted to confirm and/or modify our recommendations accordingly. SITE EXPLORATION The scope of the services performed for this project included site reconnaissance by a geotechnical engineer, a subsurface exploration program, laboratory testing, and engineering analyses. Field Exploration: A total of 3 test borings were drilled on February 9, 2005. The borings were drilled to depths of about 15 to 25 feet at the approximate locations shown on the Boring Location Diagram, Figure 1. Two borings were drilled within the footprint of the proposed residence. One soil profile boring and 6 percolation test holes were drilled in the location of the proposed septic system. Percolation tests were conducted in general accordance with Weld County requirements. Borings were advanced with a truck-mounted drilling rig, utilizing 4-inch diameter solid stem augers. The borings were located in the field by pacing or by measurements with a surveying wheel using property boundaries and/or existing site features as a reference. Right angles for locating the borings were estimated. Approximate ground surface elevations at each boring • location were obtained by measurements with an engineer's level and rod from a temporary bench mark (TBM) shown on the Boring Location Diagram. The accuracy of boring locations and elevations should only be assumed to the level implied by the methods used. A geotechnical engineer recorded lithologic logs of each boring during the drilling operations. At selected intervals, samples of the subsurface materials were taken by means of driving split-spoon or California barrel samplers. Penetration resistance measurements were obtained by driving the split-spoon or California barrel into the subsurface materials with a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The penetration resistance value is a useful index in estimating the consistency, relative density, o' hardness of the materials encountered In addition, groundwater conditions were recoruec' in each boring at the time of site exploration and one day after completion of drilling. 2 v pert,. ",> .,.. . ...wk . .. ' -- Proposed Single Family Residence 5610 County Line Road—Lot B Tenaeon Erie,Colorado Terracon Project No.22055024 Laboratory Testing: Samples retrieved during the field exploration were returned to the laboratory for observation by the project geotechnical engineer and were classified in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System described in' Appendix C. Samples of bedrock were classified in accordance with the general notes for Rock Classification. At that time, the field-descriptions were confirmed or modified as necessary and an applicable laboratory testing program was formulated to determine engineering properties of the subsurface materials. Boring logs were prepared and are presented in Appendix A. Laboratory tests were conducted on selected samples and are presented in Appendix B. The test results were used for the geotechnical engineering analyses, and the development of foundation and earthwork recommendations. Laboratory tests were performed in general accordance with applicable local standards or other accepted standards. Selected soil/bedrock samples-were tested for the following engineering properties: • Water Content • Swell-Consolidation Potential • Dry Unit Weight • Water Soluble Sulfate Content • Unconfined Compressive Strength SITE CONDITIONS The site is located on the eastern half of the property located at 5610 County Line Road. The property has been subdivided into two lots. Lot A, which occupies the western half of the property, has an existing residence and multiple outbuildings. Lot B, which occupies the - eastern half of the property, is the proposed building site. Lot B is currently vacant and has been used for agricultural purposes in the recent past. The property is generally surrounded by agricultural land and sparse residential development. The ground surface at the site was generally even with a slight downward slope to the west. Vegetation consisted of low growth grasses and weeds, and several large deciduous trees along the property lines. Boulder Creek is located to the west of the site and we understand that the lot lies within the 100-year floodplain. - SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Soil and Bedrock Conditions: As presented the Logs of Boring, a thin mantle of topsoil overlying lean clays with varying amounts off sand, to clayey sand were present tc a depth of about 13 feet below grade. Sand .with sll` and gravel was present below the clays. The materials underlying the sands and extending to the maximum depth of exploration 0 Proposed Single Family Residence Terracon 5610 County Line Road-Lot El Erie,Colorado Terracon Project No.22055024 consisted of claystone/siltstone bedrock. Please refer to the Logs of Boring for more comprehensive strata descriptions. Field and Laboratory Test Results: Field test results indicate that the clay soils vary from stiff to hard in consistency, while the sands vary from loose to dense in relative density. The bedrock varies from weathered to very hard in hardness. Laboratory test results indicate that subsoils at shallow depth have low to high swell potential. The dry density of the clays varied between 97 to 116 pcf at moisture contents ranging from 12 to 27 percent. Field test results indicate the soils in the area of the proposed septic system have poor percolation characteristics. • Groundwater Conditions: Groundwater was observed in the test borings, at the time of the field exploration, at depths of 7 to 9% feet below grade. When checked one day after drilling, groundwater was measured at depths of 5% to 8 feet. These observations - represent groundwater conditions at the time of the field exploration, and may not be indicative of other times, or at other locations. Groundwater levels can be expected to fluctuate with varying seasonal and weather conditions. In addition, the site is within the flood plain of the Boulder Creek. Zones of perched and/or trapped groundwater, where not already present, may also occur at times in the subsurface soils overlying bedrock, on top of the bedrock surface or within permeable fractures in the bedrock materials. The location and amount of perched water is dependent upon several factors, including hydrologic conditions, type of site development, irrigation demands on or adjacent to the site, fluctuations in water features, seasonal and weather conditions. The possibility of groundwater fluctuations should be considered when developing design and construction plans for the project. ENGINEERING ANALYSES AND RECOMMENDATIONS Geotechnical Considerations: Based upon geotechnical conditions encountered in our test borings, the site appears suitable for the proposed consfruction. We believe that the primary geotechnical condition, which will impact the proposed construction, is the presence of shallow groundwater on the site. Shallow groundwater will limit the depth of below grade construction and may preclude the use of a basement altogether. The primary methods, which can be considered to mitigate the impact of shallow groundwater on the site, could include limiting the depth of below grade construction to a crawl space or possibly Garden level, and/or raising the site with structural fill to increase the depth to G, tindwater. In addition, since fluctuations in the level of groundwater are possible, recommend the provision of a perimeter foundation drainage system around the lower level the structure. Proposed Single Family Residence Terracon 5610 County Line Road—Lot B Erie,Colorado Terracon Project No.22055024 Based upon our field and laboratory testing we anticipate that generally low swelling clays will be encountered in the excavation. Considering the size and type of construction planned and the subsurface conditions encountered in our test borings, we believe that the proposed residence can be supported on spread footings. Results of lab testing indicated that a clay sample at shallow depth showed high swell potential. If these materials are encountered in sufficient thickness in the excavation, some corrective work may be needed prior to foundation construction, which may include an over-excavation and ret,iacement procedure. • Swell-consolidation tests performed on samples of the soil at or near the level of floor slabs generally indicate low swelling soils. Based upon the test data and our experience, we believe that slab-on-grade construction is feasible on this site. The builder/owner should recognize that concrete floors constructed on low sweliing soils could heave and crack to some degree if the underlying soils become wetted. Recommendations for the design and construction of foundations, floor slabs, foundation drainage and individual sewage disposal systems are outlined in the following sections. Foundation Recommendations: We anticipate that generally low-swelling clays will be encountered in the excavation. Considering the size and type of construction planned and the subsurface conditions encountered in our test borings, we believe that the proposed residence can be supported on spread footings. A swell/consolidat cn test performed on a shallow clay sample from Test Boring 2 showed high swell potential. The completed foundation excavation should be observed by the geotechnical engineer to determine if these materials exist in sufficient thickness and whether corrective work will need to be performed prior to foundation construction. Footings should bear on low-swelling, undisturbed natural soils or on approved structural fill and may be designed for a maximum soil bearing pressure of 1,500 pounds per square foot (psf.) The design bearira pressure applies to dead loads plus design live load conditions. Exterior footings and foundations in unheated areas must be protected from frost action. The normal depth of frost --otection in this area is assumed to be around 30 inches. High moisture-content clays and shallow groundwater were encountered on the site. To reduce the potential of "pumping" and softening of the foundation soils and the requirement for corrective work, we recommend me excavation be completed remotely ,with a track-hoe. Where soft soils are encounters_ : ,undation ircoaring depth, they s'heu:c oe removed to a rimnim_Ho depth determined by sntecbn can engineer and rep auc... with approved material. 5 ", p",yam; .,xs.:.

Total movement of footings csigned=in accordance with the above criteria is estimated to be on the order of 'i inch loser drainage should be provided in the final design and during construction to reduce the potential of foundation movement. Foundations and walls should be reinforced as necessary to reduce the potential for distress caused by differential foundation movement. As men:c:,ed above, the completed foundation excavation should be observed by the geotechnicr: engineer to confirm that satisfactory bearing materials are present and that subsurface conditions are consistent with those encountered in our test borings. If the soil conditions encountered differ from those presented in this report, supplemental-recommendations will be required. Basement/Garden-Level Construction: Groundwater was encountered on the site at a depth of 5'A feet below existing grade. Based on CL,-rent groundwater levels we feel that crawl space or garden-level construction is feasible on the site. Where practical, we recommend placing the basement/garden-level floor at !east 3 feet above the level of the groundwater. Since fluctuations in the level of groundwater are possible. we recommend the provision of a perimeter foundation drainage system arc.nd the lower ie:e of the structure. In addition, we understand that because the building sit::: is within the flood plain of Boulder Creek, special construction details are suggested and Jr required by Weld County to reduce the impact of site flooding.. We recommend the prowslon of a drain also be considered for proposed crawl space areas, if w used. Experience indicat that over a period of time, moist conditions and posssiblystanding - water can develop in crawl__ .ace areas_ We are available to discuss crawl space dra details with you, upon request , Inany m event, crawlspace areas should be well ventilated.to facilitate raac moisture release. To reduce the cotentdal for groundwater to enter the basement/garder a:al of the structure., should it rise a eve its present level, installation of a dewaterira syste.tt is recommended. The dewatering system should at a minimum, include an underslac cc=,el drainage layer sloped to an interior perimeter dra r system.

Gravel should extend a minimum of 2-inches beneath the bottom of the pipe and at least 6-inches above the top of the drain pipe. The drain trench and pipe should be sloped at a minimum 1/8 inch per foot to a suitable outlet, sucn as an underdrain system (if available) or to a sump where water can be removed by pumping. The underslab drainage layer should consist of a minimum 8-inch thickness of free-draining gravel meeting the specifications of ASTM C33, Size No. 57 or 67. Cross-connecting drainage pipes should be provided beneath the slab at regular intervals, and should discharge to the perimeter drainage system. Basement walls should be designed for the lateral earth pressures imposed by the soil backfill. We recommend basement walls be designed for an equivalent fluid pressure of 50 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) for the on-site soils. This value assumes the backfill will not become saturated during the life of the structure. Fill against foundation walls should be moistened at or near optimum and well compacted. Compaction of each lift adjacent to walls should be accomplished with hand-operated tampers or other lightweight compactors. Over-compaction may cause excessive lateral earth pressures, which could result in wail movement. Floor Slab Design and Construction: Swell-consolidation tests performed on samples of the soils at or near the level of floor slabs typically indicated low swell potential when wetted. Based on this data and on our experience, we believe slabs-on-grade can be supported on the site soils with a relatively low potential of excessive movement. The builder/owner should recognize that concrete floor slabs constructed on low swelling soils could heave and crack to some degree when the subsoils become wetted. Slab heave on the order of 1 inch is possible and would be considered normal for soils like those found at this site. If slab movement can not be accepted or must be reduced, we are available to discuss slab heave mitigation techniques, at your request. To reduce potential slab movements, carefully planned and maintained surface drainage will be important. We recommend the following precautions be observed for on-grade slabs. These precautions will not eliminate slab movement but they tend to reduce damage when movement occurs. 7 ;.gin, 1. M agar Proposed Single Family Residence 5610 County Line Road—Lot B Terracon Erie,Colorado Terracon Project No.22055024 Additional floor slab design and construction recommendations are as follows: • A minimum 2-inch void space should be constructed above, or below non- bearing partition walls placed on the floor slab. Special framing details and/or connections should be provided at doorways, stairwells and heating/air- conditioning units to allow vertical movement. • Positive separations and/or isolation joints should be provided between slabs and all foundations, columns or utility lines to allow independent movement. • Frequent control joints should be provided in slaps r , control the location and extent of cracking in accordance with the American Concrete Institute (ACI). • Floor slabs should not be constructed on frozen subgrade. • Other design and construction considerations, as outlined in the ACI Design Manual, Section 302.1R are recommended. Septic System Construction: Percolation rates of 160 to 480 minutes per inch, or less, • were obtained from testing conducted in percolation test holes P-1 through P-6. These values exceed the maximum allowable percolation rate of 60-minutes per inch acceptable for standard leach field construction as outlined by Weld County tegulations. Accordingly, an engineered septic system is required for the site. Excavation: Shallow groundwater and clay soils with relatively high moisture contents were encountered on the site. The clay soils can be susceptible to disturbance and loss of strength when subjected to repeated construction wheel loads. To reduce the potential of "pumping" and softening of the foundation soils and the requirement for corrective work, we recommend the excavation be completed remotely with a track-hoe. Where excavations penetrate the groundwater, temporary dewatering will be required during excavation', foundation work and backfilling operations for proper construction. Pumping from sumps may be utilized to control water within the excavations. General Earthwork: Strip and remove existing vegetation and other deleterious materials from proposed building area. Stripped material- consisting of vegetation and orcanic materials should be wasted from the site, or ...se; to re-vegetate landscaped areas. Clean on-site soils or approved imported materials ma: -; used as fill and/or backfill on the site. Foundation wall backfill should be moistenec at or near optimum and well c,;rpacted. Particular attention should be paid to proper -paction of bac' ' soils that ,r,`;i su.00rt 8 Proposed Single Family Residence Terracon 5610 County Line Road—Lot B Erie,Colorado Terracon Project No.22055024 sidewalks, patios and other exterior concrete slabs in order to reduce movement. Compaction of each lift adjacent to walls should be accomplished with hand-operated tampers or other lightweight compactors. Over-compaction may cause excessive lateral earth pressures that could result in wall movement. New fill placed beneath foundations or slabs should be moisture conditioned at 2 percent celow, to 2 percent above optimum and compacted to at least 95 percent of the standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D698). Underground Utility Systems: Underground pl,_'cg within or near the proposed structures should be designed and constructed so minor deviations in alignment do not result in breakage or distress. Utility knockouts ;- eundation walls should be oversized to accommodate differential movements. Corrosion Protection (Concrete): We measured the soluble sulfate concentration for a representative sample of the subsoils that will likely be in contact with structural concrete. The sulfate concentration measured in the sample was 1,850 parts per million (ppm). ACI rates the measured concentration as being a severe risk of concrete sulfate attack. ACI recommends. the use of Type V cement and a maximum water cement ratio of 0.45 for concrete members on and below grade. As an alternative, project concrete could be designed using Type II cement with a minimum of 15 to 20 percent Class fly ash and a maximum water cement ratio of 0.45. Foundation concrete should be rt signed in accordance with the provisions of the ACI Design Manual, Section 318, Chapter 4. Surface Drainage: Positive drainage should be provided during construction and maintained throughout the life of the proposed residence. Surface drainage will be important to the performance of foundations and concrete flatwork on this site. Infiltration of water into utility or foundation excavations must be prevented during and after construction. Planters and other surface features that could retain water in areas odacent to the building or pavements should be sealed or eliminated. Backfill against exterior walls should be moistened at or near optimum and well compacted. In areas where sic walks or paving do not immediately adjoin the structure, we recommend that protective sloes, where possible, be provided with a minimum grade of approximately 10 percent for at least 10 feet from perimeter walls. Backfill against footings, exterior walls, and in utility and sprinkler line trenches should be well compacted and free of construction debris to reduce the possibility of moisture infiltration. Downspouts, roof drains or scuppers shet.iid discharge into splash :locks or extensions when the ground surface beneer:- such features is not protected by exterior slabs or paving. Sprinkler systems should rot be installed or alicc:en to discnarpe ',::ithin 5 feet of foundation walls. Landscaped irriga or adjacent to the foundation : r:st::nt should be minimized or eliminated. tt a Proposed Sinc,ie Family Residence Terracon 5610 County tine Road—Lot B Erie,Colorado Terracon Project No. 22055024 GENERAL COMMENTS Terracon should be retained to review the final design plans and specifications so comments can be made regarding interpretation and implementation of our geotechnical recommendations in the design and specifications.
