Terracon has completed a geotechnical engineering exploration for the proposed residence to be
constructed on the above -referenced lot. One test boring was drilled in the approximate center of
the lot and a relatively undisturbed sample was obtained for laboratory testing and analysis. The
materials tested on the site are classified as low swelling based on the Colorado Association of
Geotechnical Engineers (CAGE) criteria.
Geotechnical recommendations for design of foundations and other earth connected phases of this
residence were developed based on the referenced exploration for the overall subdivision, and the
borings drilled in this and adjacent lots. Terracon's recommendations are summarized below.
Foundation Recommendations
Spread footing foundations bearing upon undisturbed subsoils, recompacted native soils and/or
bedrock are recommended for support of the proposed structure.
Basement Construction
Groundwater was not encountered on this lot to the depth explored. Bedrock was not encountered
to the depth explored. Full -depth basement construction is considered acceptable, provided a
complete dewatering system is provided around the lower basement area.
The dewatering system should contain a drain constructed around the exterior perimeter of the
basement foundation and sloped at a minimum 1/8 inch per foot to a suitable outlet, such as a
sump or area drain.
