On September 20, 2006, Weeks & Associates observed the perimeter drain at the referenced
site. Observations indicated a 4" diameter perforated pipe had been placed around the exterior
perimeter of the basement foundation and sloped to the sump pit at the west side of the
basement. The drain pipe installation is in substantial accordance with the perimeter drain
recommendations for the project. In addition, the exterior of the basement foundation walls had
been damproofed.

On September 7, 2006, a representative of Northern Colorado Geotech performed an excavation
observation for a residence under construction at the above referenced site in the Fossil Lake
Subdivision in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The soil exposed at the upper and lower footing levels consisted of sandy lean clay. These materials
are similar to those encountered by Northern Colorado Geotech during our subsurface exploration at
the site (Project No. 037-06, dated July 12, 2006). Based on our observations and the
recommendations of the geotechnical engineering report, it is our opinion that the proposed residence
may be supported by a spread footing foundation system. The foundation should be designed in
accordance with the recommendations and specifications provided in the geotechnical engineering
report.
Groundwater or bedrock was not encountered within two feet of the lower footing level. However, as
a precaution, we recommend the installation of an exterior perimeter drain around the lower level of
the structure. The dewatering system should be constructed in accordance with recommendations of
the geotechnical engineering report.
If you have any questions about this letter or if we may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate
to contact us at (970) 506-9244.
