Soil Survey of Weld County,Colorado excerpt(Southern Portion)
Published by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service
Soil Classification#32: Kim loam, 1 to 3 Percent slopes
This is a deep,well drained soil on smooth plains and alluvial fans at elevations of 4,900 to 5,250 feet. it
formed in mixed eolian deposit and parent sediment from a wide variety of bedrock. Included in mapping are
small areas of soils that have loamy sand underlying material.
Typically the surface layer is brown and pale brown loam about 12 inches thick. The upper 28 inches
of the underlying material is pale brown loam. The lower part to a depth of 60 inches is pale brown fine sandy
loam.
Permeability is moderate. Available water capacity is high. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches
or more. Surface runoff is medium,and the erosion hazard is low.
In irrigated areas this soil is suited to ail crops commonly grown in the area,including corn,sugar
beets,beans,alfalfa,small grain,potatoes,and onions. An example of a suitable cropping system is 3 to 4
years of alfalfa followed by corn,corn for silage,sugar beets,small grain,or beans. Land leveling,ditch lining
(fig.6),and installing pipelines may be needed for proper water applications.
All methods of irrigation are suitable,but furrow irrigation is the most common. Barnyard manure
and commercial fertilizer are needed for top yields.
In nonirrigated areas this soil is suited to winter wheat,barley,and sorghum. Most of the acreage is
planted to winter wheat and is summer fallowed in alternate years to allow moisture accumulation. Generally
precipitation is too low for beneficial use of fertilizer.
Stubble mulch farming,striperopping,and minimum tillage are needed to control soil blowing and
water erosion. Terracing also may be needed to control water erosion.
The potential native vegetation is dominated by blue grama. Several mid grasses,such as western
wheatgrass and needleandthread,are also present. Potential production ranges from 1,600 pounds per acre in
favorable years to 1,000 pounds in unfavorable years. As range condition deteriorates,the mid grasses
decrease;blue grama,buffalograss,snakeweed,yucca,and fringed sage increase;and forage production drops.
Undesirable weeds and annuals invade the site as range condition becomes poorer.
Management of vegetation on this soil should be based on taking half and leaving half of the total
annual production. Seeding is desirable if the range is in poor condition. Sideoats grama,little bluestern,
western wheatgrass,blue grama pubescent wheatgrass,and crested wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. The
grass selected should meet the seasonal requirements of livestock. It can be seeded into a clean,firm sorghum
stubble,or it can be drilled into a firm prepared seedbed. Seeding early in spring has proven most successful.
Windbreaks and environmental plantings of trees and shrubs commonly grown in the area are
generally well suited to this soil. Cultivation to control competing vegetation should be continued for as many
years as possible following planting. Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain
juniper,eastern redcedar,ponderosa pine,Siberian elm,Russian-olive,and hackberry. The shrubs best suited
are skunkbush sumac,lilac,Siberian peashrub,and American plum.
Wildlife is an important secondary use of this soil. The cropland areas provide favorable habitat for
ring-necked pheasant and mourning dove. Many nongame species can be attracted by establishing areas for
nesting and escape cover. For pheasants,undisturbed nesting cover is essential and should be included in
plans for habitat development,especially in areas of intensive agriculture. Rangeland wildlife,for example,
the pronghorn antelope,can be attracted by developing livestock watering facilities,managing livestock
grazing,and reseeding where needed.
This soil has good potential for urban and recreational development. Increased population growth in
the survey area has resulted in increased homesite construction. The chief limiting soil feature for urban
development and road construction is the limited capacity of this soil to support a load. Septic tank absorption
fields function property, but community sewage systems should be provided if the population density
,.-. increases. Because of the permeability of the substratum,sewage lagoons must be sealed. Lawns,shrubs,and
trees grow well. Capability subclass Ile irrigated,IVe nonirrigated;Loamy Plains range site.

Re: Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Proposed 9-Lot PUD
Highway 392 and Weld County Road 37
Northern Colorado Geotech Project No. 113-05
Northern Colorado Geotech has completed a preliminary geotechnical engineering exploration for
the proposed 9-Lot PUD to be located along Highway 392, west of Weld County Road 37.
The subsurface soils at the site consisted of clayey sand and sandy lean clay. The soils are
underlain by claystone bedrock at depths of 10 to 111/2 feet. The results of our field exploration and
laboratory testing indicate that the soils have low expansive potential and low load bearing
capabilities.
Based on the anticipated construction and the results of our preliminary engineering exploration, it is
our opinion that the proposed structures will likely be supported by spread footing foundations.
Standard septic systems appear feasible on the majority of the lots at the site.
If you have any questions concerning this report or any of our consulting services, please do not
hesitate to contact us.

NORTHERN COLORADO GEOTECH
PROJECT NO. 113-05
JUNE 3, 2005
SCOPE
This report contains the results of our geotechnical engineering exploration for the proposed 9-Lot
PUD to be located along Highway 392, west of Weld County Road 37. The site is located in the
northeast quarter of Section 24, Township 6 North, Range 66 West of the 6th Principal Meridian.
This report includes descriptions of, and preliminary geotechnical engineering recommendations
relative to:
• subsurface soil and bedrock conditions
• groundwater conditions
• foundation design and construction
• basement construction
• pavement design and construction
• septic systems
• earthwork
The recommendations contained in this report are based upon the results of field and laboratory
testing, engineering analyses, and experience with-similar soil conditions, structures and our
understanding of the proposed project.
SITE CONDITIONS
The site is currently used as pasture and agricultural ground. Surface drainage is poor to the
southeast. A large irrigation ditch is located along the northern boundary of the property.
Agricultural fields border the site to the east, west and south. Highway 392 is located
approximately 1,000 feet north of the property.

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
As we understand it, the project will consist of developing a parcel of ground for a 9-Lot PUD that
will be used for"estate-style" single-family residential construction. The residences will be serviced
by individual sewage disposal systems. It is our understanding that an approximate 12 acre lake
would be sited near the center of the property.
SITE EXPLORATION
A total of three soil test borings and three preliminary percolation borings were drilled on May 18,
2005. The borings were drilled to approximate depths of 3 to 15 feet at the locations shown on the
Site Plan, Figure 1. All 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 from property lines and/or existing site features.
The accuracy of boring locations should only be assumed to the level implied by the methods used.
Lithologic logs of each boring were recorded by an engineering geologist during the drilling
operations. At selected intervals, samples of the subsurface materials were taken by driving split-
spoon and/or ring samplers. Standard penetration measurements were recorded while driving a
split-spoon and/or ring sampler into the subsurface materials. The standard penetration test is a
useful index in estimating the density of the materials encountered.
Groundwater conditions were evaluated in each boring at the time of subsurface exploration, and
eight days after the drilling.
Laboratory Testing
The samples retrieved during the subsurface exploration were returned to our laboratory for
observation by the project manager. The soils were classified in general accordance with the
Unified Soil Classification System. At that time, the field descriptions were confirmed or modified
and an applicable laboratory testing program was formulated. Boring logs were prepared and are
attached with this report.
Laboratory tests were conducted on selected samples and are presented on the boring logs and
attached laboratory test sheets. The test results were used for the geotechnical engineering
analyses, and the development of foundation and earthwork recommendations.

Selected samples were tested for the following engineering properties:
• Water Content • Consolidation
• Dry Density • Compressive Strength
• Expansion
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Geology
The proposed area is located within the Great Plains physiographic province. The Colorado
Piedmont is located near the western border of the Great Plains province and was formed during
Late Tertiary and Early Quaternary time (approximately 2,000,000 years ago). The Colorado
Piedmont is a broad, erosional trench which separates the Southern Rocky Mountains from the
High Plains. Structurally, the site lies along the western flank of the Denver Basin. During the
mountain building of the Laramide Orogeny (approximately 70,000,000 years ago), intense tectonic
activity occurred, causing the uplifting of the Front Range and associated downwarping of the
Denver Basin to the east. Due to the erosional action of wind and streams, relatively flat uplands
and broad valleys characterize the present-day topography of the Colorado Piedmont in this
region. The site is likely underlain by the Cretaceous Laramie Formation. The Laramie consists of
interbedded sandstone, siltstone and claystone units. Coal units are also found within the Laramie
Formation.
Due to the relatively flat nature of the site, geologic hazards at the site are anticipated to be low.
Seismic activity in the area is anticipated to be low; and from a structural geology standpoint, the
property should be relatively stable. With proper site grading around proposed structures,
erosional problems at the site should be minimal. -
Based on our borings, a review of literature and maps of the area and our experience, it is our
opinion that economic quantities of aggregate, minerals, quarry rock or coal are not available at the
site.

Soil and Bedrock Conditions
Soils at the site generally consisted of clayey sand and sandy lean clay to depths of approximately
10 to 11% feet. The materials underlying the surface.soils and extending to the maximum depth of
exploration consisted of claystone bedrock. Summary boring logs are attached with this report.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater was encountered at approximate depths of 5 to 6%feet in the test borings at the time
of field exploration and when checked eight days after the drilling. 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.
Due to the impermeable nature of the bedrock materials, areas of perched and/or trapped
groundwater may occur at times in the subsurface soils overlying bedrock. 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.
•
Field Test Results
Field test results indicate that the clay soils vary from soft to medium stiff, medium stiff to stiff, stiff
to very stiff, very stiff to hard in consistency. The sand soils vary from very loose to loose, loose to
medium dense, medium dense to dense, dense to very dense in relative density. The bedrock
varies from soft to hard in hardness.
Percolation testing conducted in the area of the proposed soil absorption bed are summarized as
follows:

Northern Colorado Geotech Project No. 113-05
The soils in the area of the proposed PUD appear to have fair percolation rates that should
generally be within Weld County standards for standard septic systems.
Laboratory Test Results
Laboratory test results indicate that the soils have low expansive potential and low load bearing
capabilities.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Foundation Design
Based on the results of our preliminary exploration, it is our opinion that spread footing foundations
will likely be possible throughout the majority of the site. Relatively shallow groundwater will require
particular attention in the design and construction of foundations and septic systems.
Below Grade Construction
Groundwater was encountered on the site at depths of approximately 5 to 6% feet below existing
grade. Additionally, a 12 acre lake is planned near the center of the site. The expected
groundwater levels throughout the site may necessitate the construction of garden-level or crawl
space foundations unless site grades are raised or groundwater levels are lowered.
To reduce the potential for groundwater to enter the lower levels of structures, installation of a
dewatering system is recommended.
Surface Drainage
Positive drainage should be provided during construction and maintained throughout the life of the
proposed project. Infiltration of water into utility or foundation excavations must be prevented
during construction. Planters and other surface features which could retain water in areas adjacent
to the building or pavements should be sealed or eliminated. In areas where sidewalks or paving
do not immediately adjoin the structure, we recommend that protective slopes 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 all construction debris to reduce the possibility of moisture infiltration.
Downspouts, roof drains or scuppers should discharge into splash blocks or extensions when the
ground surface beneath such features is not protected by exterior slabs or paving. Sprinkler

Proposed 9-Lot PUD
Highway 392 and Weld County Road 37
Northern Colorado Geotech Project No. 113-05
systems should not be installed within 5 feet of foundation walls. Landscaped irrigation adjacent to
the foundation system should be minimized or eliminated.
Pavement Design and Construction
The required total thickness for potential pavement areas is dependent primarily upon the
foundation soil or subgrade and upon traffic conditions. Based on the soil conditions encountered
at the site and the anticipated type and volume of traffic, the following minimum pavement
thicknesses are necessary if asphalt paving is anticipated:
Recommended Pavement Thicknesses(Inches)
Traffic Area Alternative Asphalt Aggregate- Plant-Mixed Portland
Concrete Base Bituminous Cement Total
Surface Course ; Base Concrete
Automobile A 3 6 9
Parking B 2 3 5
Each alternative should be investigated with respect to current material availability and economic
conditions.
•
Based upon the subsurface conditions including the soil and groundwater profiles, subgrade soils
exposed during construction are likely to require some additional work to provide a stable roadway
subgrade. The stability of the subgrade may be affected by precipitation, repetitive construction
traffic or other factors. When unstable conditions develop, workability may be improved by
scarifying and drying. Overexcavation of wet zones and replacement with granular materials may
be necessary. Use of lime, fly ash, kiln dust, cement or geotextiles could also be considered as a
stabilization technique. Laboratory evaluation is recommended to determine the effect of chemical
stabilization on subgrade soils prior to construction. Lightweight excavation equipment may be
required to reduce subgrade pumping.
Septic System Construction
Preliminary field test results indicate that standard septic systems will likely be feasible throughout
the majority of the site according to Weld County regulations. The potential of higher groundwater
levels is possible when the 12 acre lake is placed near the center of the site. It may be necessary
to provide a lining for the lake and/or the large irrigation ditch on the north side of the property to
provide a suitable soil section for septic systems if groundwater levels rise in the future.

Highway 392 and Weld County Road 37
Northern Colorado Geotech Project No. 113-05
General Earthwork
All earthwork on the project should be observed and evaluated by Northern Colorado
Geotech. The evaluation of earthwork should include observation and testing of
engineered fill, subgrade preparation, foundation bearing soils, and other geotechnical
conditions exposed during the construction of the project.
Site Preparation
Strip and remove existing vegetation, debris, and other deleterious materials from proposed
building and pavement areas. All exposed surfaces should be free of mounds and
depressions which could prevent uniform compaction.
Stripped materials consisting of vegetation and organic materials should be wasted from the
site, or used to revegetate landscaped areas or exposed slopes after completion of grading
operations.
If unexpected fills or underground facilities are encountered, such features should be
removed and the excavation thoroughly cleaned prior to backfill placement and/or
construction.
•
It is anticipated that excavations for the proposed construction can be accomplished with
conventional earthmoving equipment.
Depending upon depth of excavation and seasonal conditions, groundwater may be
encountered in excavations on the site. Pumping from sumps may be utilized to control
water within excavations. Well points may be required for significant groundwater flow, or
where excavations penetrate groundwater to a significant depth.
The individual contractor(s) is responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary
excavations as required to maintain stability of both the excavation sides and bottom. All
excavations should be sloped or shored in the interest of safety following local, and federal
regulations, including current OSHA excavation and trench safety standards.
Fill Materials and Placement
All exposed areas which will receive fill should be scarified to a minimum depth of eight
inches, conditioned to near optimum moisture content, and compacted.

The placement of soils on the site should be observed by Northern Colorado Geotech. The
fill should be assessed for suitability of use in the proposed fill and tested for placement
including compaction percentage and moisture content.
Engineered fill should be placed and compacted in horizontal lifts, using equipment and
procedures that will produce recommended moisture contents and densities throughout the
lift. Recommended compaction criteria for engineered fill materials are as follows:
Clean on-site soils or approved imported materials may be used as fill material.
Imported soils (if required) should conform to the following:
Percent fines by weight
Gradation (ASTM C1361

Scarified subgrade soils 95
On-site and imported fill soils:
Beneath foundations 95
Beneath pavements 95
On-site or imported clay soils should be compacted within a moisture content range of 2
percent below, to 2 percent above optimum. Granular soils should be compacted within a
moisture range of 3 percent below to 3 percent above optimum unless modified by the
project geotechnical engineer.

GENERAL COMMENTS
The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based upon data obtained from
borings performed to obtain representative subsurface conditions at the site. Variations in the soil
between borings will occur. Northern Colorado Geotech should be present during construction to
observe the excavation and construction procedures and confirm or modify our recommendations.
The scope of services for this project does not include either specifically or by implication any
environmental assessment of the site.
This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering
practices in this area at this time. No warranties, either express or implied, are intended or made.
