GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION 1.1 Location The site is located on the Lot 20, Block 11 Fairview 9th Filing in the Southeast ¼ of Section 15, Township 7 North, Range 68 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, in the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado. The address of the existing site is 1501 West Elizabeth Street. See the location map in Appendix A. The project is located on the south side of West Elizabeth Street between South Bryan Avenue and City Park Avenue. The project is bounded on all sides by existing commercial development. 1.2 Description of Property The entire site consists of approximately 1.46 acres of land. The land was previously developed with a c-store and car wash which were destroyed in a fire. The buildings have been removed from the site but some pavement and utilities currently remain on the site. The site currently drains to a detention pond on the south portion of the site. Slopes on site range from approximately 1% to 2%. This site is currently located in a City regulatory 100 year floodplain but will be removed in conjunction with this proposed development via the City Floodplain Waiver process. This project will include the development of a single building that has commercial and retail on the main floor and residential units on the upper floors located in the north half of the site. There will be private drives, parking and landscaping on the remainder of the site. The site will provide detention storage under the parking lot with a combination of infiltration and collection in a system of perforated pipes. 2. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS 2.1 Major Basin Description The proposed development lies within the Canal Importation Drainage Basin. The site is also located in a 100 year floodplain. With this proposed development, an application for a City Floodplain Waiver will be submitted in order to remove this site from the 100 year floodplain. 2 2.2 Sub-basin Description This site was included in the “Final Drainage Report for Diamond Shamrock Gas Station, Convenience Store and Car Wash, Lot 2 Fairview Shopping Center II” by Galloway, Romero & Associates dated February 6, 1989 and revised May 16, 1989. Portions of this report are included in the Appendix. 3. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA 3.1 Regulations This report was prepared to meet or exceed the “City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual” specifications. Where applicable, the criteria established in the “Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual” (UDFCD), developed by the Denver Regional Council of Governments, has been used. 3.2 Development Criteria Reference and Constraints The runoff from this site has been routed to maintain the same patterns as previously established. The site is restricted to a 2 year historic release rate with this development. The historic condition for this site is an undeveloped condition without regard to the previous development condition. The runoff from the entirety of the site, including the entire proposed building, will be directed to the parking lot where the water will enter the under parking lot detention area via the proposed porous pavements or via an inlet proposed near the southeast corner of the site. The release rate for the detention pond has been calculated to be 0.45 cfs which is equivalent to the 2 year historic runoff rate for this site in an undeveloped condition. The detention pond will release to the north into an existing storm manhole as the site previously has done. 3 3.3 Hydrologic Criteria Runoff coefficients calculations were prepared for the 2 and 10-year minor and 100-year major storm frequency utilizing the rational method. Detention is proposed on site under the parking lot with a release rate equal to the 2 year historic runoff rate. The amount of detention provided under the parking lot was based on an assumed porosity of the chosen aggregate of 0.4. 3.4 Hydraulic Criteria The onsite collection system is 4” perforated pipe which is collect in a larger pipe and conveyed to the outlet point with a restriction to the historic runoff rate. An inlet is located in the parking lot which will act as a collection point if the porous pavements cannot intercept all of the site runoff. Sizes for the inlet and pipes have not been calculated as the amount of runoff expected in these conveyances are difficult to predict. Stormwater will also infiltrate into the groundwater as indicated by the geotechnical report, portion of which are included in the appendix. 4. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN 4.1 General Concept The runoff from this site will flow into the parking lot which will be constructed using 75% conventional materials (asphalt or concrete) and 25% porous pavement (concrete or pavers). The runoff from the site will enter the subsurface material (3/4” poorly graded angular rock) via the porous pavements. In a situation where the porous pavements are clogged, the runoff will flow to the proposed inlet in the southeast corner of the site and enter the subsurface material. A small amount of flow from the patio on the north is anticipated to enter West Elizabeth Street without detention. No offsite flows will enter this site. 4.2 Specific Flow Routing A summary of the drainage patterns within each basin is provided in the following paragraphs. 4 Basin 1 encompasses the majority of the proposed development including the entire building, parking lot, private drives and the landscaping on the west side of the site. A majority of the runoff flows to the parking lot in the south half of the site which will convey the flows beneath the parking lot to the proposed detention pond. This detention pond will have a small release rate (0.45 cfs) which equate to the 2 year undeveloped runoff. The water quality extended detention is incorporated into the subsurface detention system. The detention system will have an overflow to the east along the private drive that extends into the adjacent property. This site is being developed under the City criteria that requires that 25% of the site pavements be pervious. This site has approximately 28,700 square feet of proposed parking lot pavement on site which is entirely within Basin. Of the 28,700 square feet, 25% of this area would equate to 7200 square feet of required pervious pavement and with this proposed development, approximately 7150 square feet of pervious pavements are being proposed and will be located in the parking spaces as shown on the grading and drainage plan. 4.3 Drainage Summary All runoff from this site and the adjacent sites will be safely conveyed via surface flow to the detention pond. The site will generally conform to the Canal Importation Master Drainage plan which this site is included in. The City of Fort Collins will be responsible for maintenance of the existing storm drainage facilities located within the right-of-way. The drainage facilities located outside of the right of way (including the detention pond) will be maintained by the property owner. 5. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT CONTROLS 5.1 Written Analysis The soils on this site are classified by the USGS Soil Survey as Altvan-Santana Loams and are classified in the hydrologic group B. The soils are described as being well drained and having a moderately high to high ability to transmit water (0.6 to 2.0 inches 5 per hour). The geotechnical report indicates that the soils on site have a porosity as high as 108 feet per day. The rainfall and wind erodibility is deemed to be moderate. The site is surrounded by developed sites including streets and paved areas. The construction shall utilize silt fence around the perimeter to control sediment transport from rainfall and from wind. The silt fence that is located in the proposed pavement areas will be removed prior to placing new pavement. Rock socks will be utilized in the existing curb to capture sediments that are not fully contained by the silt fence placement. The locations of the rock socks will be in the areas of concentrated flow such as the existing curb and on the existing concrete sidewalks. The site may also utilize a vehicle tracking control pad to minimize sediment from being tracked onto adjacent pavements. Sediment that is tracked will be removed and placed within the site or permanently disposed of offsite. A concrete washout will be used on site during the concrete placement. All hardened concrete will be disposed of offsite. These BMP’s have not been located on the site map due to the fact that the site is very small and these BMP’s will need to be placed by the contractor in locations that are most beneficial and will minimize disruption of adjacent traffic. Permanent erosion control consists of covering the soils with a building, concrete walks, concrete drives and sod. No soil will be left exposed to erosion after the construction is complete. Refer to the landscape plan for areas of and instructions for placement of sod and soil amendments required prior to placement of sod. Refer to section 5.5 for the timing of the construction phases and the sequential installation of all BMP phasing for this site. Refer to the end of Section 5.4 for the Erosion Control Surety calculations. 5.2 SWMP contact information Permit holder: Name: Address: Phone Number: Email Address: 6 Appointed agent: Name: Address: Phone Number: Email Address: 5.3 Identification and location of all potential pollution sources Potential Pollutant Source Activity Potential Pollutant Generated Applicable to this project Disturbed Areas Sediment X Soil stockpiles Sediment X Travel to adjacent public streets Tracked sediment X Contaminated soils Sediment, chemicals Loading and unloading chemicals Chemicals Outdoor storage of chemicals Chemicals On site equipment maintenance Oil, grease On site equipment fueling Diesel, gasoline X Dust generating activities Particulates, sediment X Use of fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides Fertilizer, pesticides Use of detergents, solvents, oils Detergents, solvents, oil X Waste dumpsters, waste piles Chemicals X Concrete washout Concrete, sediment X On site equipment washing Detergents, oil On site asphalt batch plant Asphaltic cement, sediment On site concrete batch plant Cement, sediment Portable toilets Domestic sewage X 5.4 Best Management Practices (BMP’s) for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Structural Practices for Erosion and Sediment Control Structural practices for the site will consist mainly of silt fence and rock sock filters and are described in detail in the following paragraphs. These BMP's are expected to change as the construction progresses and it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure appropriate BMP's are in place and/or removed at the appropriate time in the construction sequence. All temporary 7 and permanent erosion and sediment control practices must be maintained and repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. Silt fence and rock sock filters shall be in place prior to commencement of construction activities. During clearing and grubbing necessary for silt fence installation, all cleared material shall be placed on the uphill side so that if erosion occurs from the cleared material, the sediment will be trapped and not transported downstream. Rock socks shall be implemented in the existing curb line as shown on the Drainage & Erosion Control Plan. All BMP's shall be installed per the details shown on the construction plan set. Temporary & Permanent Structural BMP’s: Structural BMP Approximate location on site Applicable to this Project Silt Fence Site perimeter, refer to site map X Straw bale dams Rock Socks At proposed sidewalk culverts, refer to site map X Earthen diversion dams Vegetated swales Sediment trap/pond Pipe slope drains Geogrid Inlet/outlet protection Culverts Riprap Erosion control mats Inlet protection Non-Structural Practices for Erosion and Sediment Control: Soils exposed during the earthwork phase and landscape prep phase shall be kept in a roughened condition by ripping or disking along land contours until mulch, vegetation, or other permanent erosion control is installed. No large amount of soils (in excess of 15 yards) will be allowed to be stock piled on site. Overburden from the utility pipe trenching will be piled adjacent to trenches upstream of sediment controls and will be replaced in the trenches within 72 hours. Excess excavated materials from the demolition and grading phases of the project that cannot be reused on site will be exported as it is excavated. This includes any asphalt pavement from the existing site that is to be removed. 8 A vehicle tracking pad will be installed at a location most beneficial to the site construction as determined by the contractor. Vehicles will not be permitted in the excavated area if soil is muddy. Gravel sub base will be placed and compacted in the areas indicated for pavement following excavation. In the current pre construction state the site enables tracking of silt onto the adjacent streets during wet conditions. During construction activities the street will be monitored for foreign debris tracked out of the site and mechanical sweeping and clean up will be performed as needed. No area shall remain exposed by land disturbing activity for more than thirty (30) days before required temporary or permanent erosion control (e.g. seed/mulch, landscaping, etc.) is installed. Temporary & Permanent non-structural BMP’s: Non-Structural BMP Approximate location on site Applicable to this Project Surface roughening Entire site X Soil stockpile height limit (less than 10’) Perimeter vegetative buffer West boundary of site X Minimization of site disturbance Mulch Seed & mulch stockpiles after 30 days Stockpile toe protection (silt fence, wattles or ditch) Preservation & protection of existing vegetation & trees West boundary of site X Good site housekeeping (routine cleanup of trash & constr debris) Entire Site X Heavy equip staged on site, properly maintained & inspected daily (no onsite maintenance) Staging area X 9 EROSION CONTROL OPINION OF COST. 10 5.5 BMP Implementation 1) Phased BMP Implementation BMP’s are expected to change as the construction progresses and it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure appropriate BMP’s are in place and/or removed at the appropriate time in the construction sequence. All BMP’s shall be inspected and repaired or replaced as required to satisfy the conditions of the Stormwater Discharge Permit. All BMP’s must be maintained and repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. The following phase depictions and erosion controls are suggestions to the contractor only and are in no way intended to dictate construction phasing or control of the work on site. The contractor shall be responsible to control construction phasing and provide adequate erosion control associated with each phase in order to comply with the SWM Plan and Permit that is obtained by the contractor (or owner) for the site. Phase 1 – Mobilization Install silt fence, Install rock socks, set dumpster. Phase 2 – Site demolition, Overlot Grading Clear existing asphalt, concrete, utilities and trees. Cut and fill on site to achieve subgrade elevations Phase 3 - Utilities Excavate and install for water service, fire line and sewer service modification, excavate and install dry utilities. Excavate for under parking lot detention area. Phase 4 – Install Concrete Foundation Establish temporary concrete washout area, cut for building foundation, place concrete foundation. Phase 5 – Concrete Site Paving Remove silt fence in pavement area, Install sub base, install detention pond aggregate material, install porous and non porous pavements. Remove concrete wash out. Phase 6 – Building construction Complete vertical building construction Phase 7 – Landscape installation Final shaping of planting areas, Install irrigation system, Install soil amendments, Landscape plant installation, Install mulch ground cover Phase 8 – Final Stabilization Final stabilization is complete when constructed improvements are in place, Inspect completed construction for possible sources of erosion and amend the plan as required to trap sediments. 11 2) Materials Handling and Spill Prevention: Materials Handling & Spill Prevention BMP Approximate location on site Applicable to this Project Portable toilets, anchored & located away from drainages Contractor to determine X Fuel storage located in bulk tanks with secondary containment & spill kit Mobile fueling performed at least 200 feet away from drainages & fully attended Contractor to determine X Fertilizers, form oil, solvents, cleaners, detergent stored in 55 gal or smaller containers, kept in storage units Contractor to determine X Dumpsters containing used chemicals containers & liquid wastes kept covered Contractor to determine X Equipment cleaning (on site) uses no detergents & flows to onsite retention basin In case of a release of fuel or other chemicals, absorbent booms or earthen berms will be immediately constructed to contain the spill & prevent runoff to adjacent surface waters Location of spill X MSDS sheets for onsite chemicals will be kept at the construction trailer to facilitate spill response & cleanup Contractor to determine X 3) Dedicated Asphalt or Concrete Batch Plant: Not proposed with this development. 4) Vehicle Tracking Pad: Vehicle tracking control pad shall be installed wherever construction vehicle access routes intersect paved public roads. Vehicle tracking control pads shall be installed to 12 minimize the transport of sediment (mud) by runoff or vehicles tracking onto the paved surface. Any mud tracked to public roads shall be removed on a daily basis and after any significant storm that causes sediment to be transported. It is unlawful to track sediment/mud onto public streets and may be enforced by the City of Fort Collins or by the State of Colorado. 5) Waste Management and Disposal: Portable toilets will be anchored & periodically maintained by waste management company. Dumpsters on site will be covered & periodically emptied by waste management company. Concrete waste will be allowed to harden and then will be removed from site. No washing activities will occur on site. Location of the concrete washout will be determined by the contractor. The washout will be sufficiently deep to accommodate all anticipated concrete truck wash water. Waste concrete will be allowed to harden and be removed from site periodically as the washout reaches 50% of its capacity. Truck wash water will not be allowed to reach the curb & gutter or any other water course. 6) Groundwater and Stormwater Dewatering: No groundwater encountered during soils exploration therefore not anticipated to be an issue. If groundwater is encountered a groundwater discharge permit shall be obtained and a detailed report shall be completed describing the location and the route of where pumped groundwater will be conveyed and the measures taken to prevent the transport 13 of any pollutants to downstream waters. 7) Inspection & Maintenance: It is required that routine site inspections are performed to effectively address maintenance and repair of Best Management Practices (BMP's). The site inspections are to performed by the contractor or an inspector designated by the administrator at a minimum of once every fourteen (14) calendar days on active construction sites and after any significant storm event (an event causing runoff). As part of the site inspections the inspector is required to keep documentation of all inspections and BMP maintenance, including an updated Site Map indicating new BMP's or the removal of BMP's since the previous inspection. Any maintenance, repair, or necessary installation of BMP's that are noted during the inspection must be completed within seven (7) calendar days from the date of the inspection. 6. CONCLUSIONS 6.1 Compliance with Standards All computations that have been completed within this report are in compliance with the City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual and the Canal Importation Master Drainage Plan. 6.2 Drainage Concept The proposed drainage concepts presented in this report and on the construction plans adequately provide for conveyance of runoff to the detention areas. Conveyance elements have been designed to pass required flows and to minimize future maintenance. If, at the time of construction, groundwater is encountered, a Colorado Department of Health Construction Dewatering Permit would be required. 14 7. REFERENCES 1.

Groundwater levels can be expected to fluctuate with varying seasonal and weather conditions, and other factors. Groundwater level fluctuations occur due to seasonal variations in amount of rainfall, runoff and other factors not evident at the time the borings were performed. Therefore, groundwater levels during construction or at other times in the life of the structure may be higher or lower than the levels indicated on the boring logs. The possibility of groundwater level fluctuations should be considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project. Fluctuations in groundwater levels can best be determined by implementation of a groundwater monitoring plan. Such a plan would include installation of groundwater piezometers, and periodic measurement of groundwater levels over a sufficient period of time. 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION 4.1 Geotechnical Considerations Based on subsurface conditions encountered in the borings, the site appears suitable for the proposed construction from a geotechnical point of view provided certain precautions and design and construction recommendations described in this report are followed. We have identified geotechnical conditions that could impact design and construction of the proposed structure, pavements, and other site improvements. 4.1.1 Existing, Undocumented Fill As previously noted, existing undocumented fill was encountered to depths up to about 4 feet in the borings drilled at the site. Deeper fills may be present on the site where buried tanks were removed during demolition of the gas station previously occupying the site. We do not recommend supporting shallow spread footing foundations or floor slabs on the existing fill Geotechnical Engineering Report Uptown Plaza Fort Collins, Colorado July 24, 2013 Terracon Project No. 20135023 Responsive Resourceful Reliable 17 should refer to ACI 302 for procedures and cautions regarding the use and placement of a vapor retarder. Other design and construction considerations, as outlined in the ACI Design Manual, Section 302.1R are recommended. 4.5.2 Floor Systems - Construction Considerations Movements of slabs-on-grade using the recommendations discussed in previous sections of this report will likely be reduced and tend to be more uniform. The estimates discussed above assume that the other recommendations in this report are followed. Additional movement could occur should the subsurface soils become wetted to significant depths, which could result in potential excessive movement causing uneven floor slabs and severe cracking. This could be due to over watering of landscaping, poor drainage, improperly functioning drain systems, and/or broken utility lines. Therefore, it is imperative that the recommendations presented in this report be followed. 4.6 Hydraulic Conductivity Testing Two (2) hydraulic conductivity borings, presented as Exhibits A-10 and A-11, and designated as Boring DP-1 and DP-2, were performed to depths of approximately 3 feet below existing site grades. Logs of the borings along with a Boring Location Plan (Exhibit A-2) are included in Appendix A. 4.6.1 Hydraulic Conductivity – Field Investigation We understand a carwash building previously occupying the site was demolished and removed prior to our field investigation. During our field investigation, two (2) field hydraulic conductivity test borings were completed to a depth of approximately 3 feet below existing site grades. The field hydraulic conductivity test borings were completed in areas of the site planned for permeable pavements. One of the field hydraulic conductivity test borings (DP-1) was completed in the area where the car wash building previously occupied the site. The second field hydraulic conductivity test boring (DP-2) was completed in the area of the site where we believe an existing detention area is present. Field hydraulic conductivity test boring DP-1 was drilled with a CME-45 truck mounted drill rig with 4-inch outer diameter solid-stem augers. Field hydraulic conductivity test boring DP-2 was completed with a 3¾-inch hand auger. During the drilling operations, lithologic logs of the borings were recorded by the field engineer. Slotted PVC pipe was placed in each of the field hydraulic conductivity test holes full-depth and the annulus surrounding the slotted PVC pipe was filled with clean filter sand. The borings were then saturated with water and left to stabilize overnight. The soils encountered in DP-1 were visually classified in the field and consisted of existing fill materials comprised of lean clay with sand and gravel. The existing fill was slightly moist to Geotechnical Engineering Report Uptown Plaza Fort Collins, Colorado July 24, 2013 Terracon Project No. 20135023 Responsive Resourceful Reliable 18 moist. The soils encountered in DP-2 were also visually classified in the field and consisted of native sandy lean clay. The soils encountered in DP-2 were very moist to wet. Groundwater was not encountered in field hydraulic conductivity test boring DP-1. Groundwater was encountered in field hydraulic conductivity test boring DP-2 at a depth of approximately 2.7 feet below existing site grade while drilling. During delayed groundwater measurements taken in other borings completed on the site, groundwater was measured in Boring No. 5 (located near hydraulic conductivity test boring DP-2) at a depth of approximately 3.8 feet below the existing ground surface. The groundwater levels measured in our borings at the time of our field study were used when calculating the field hydraulic conductivity at this site. 4.6.2 Hydraulic Conductivity - Discussion The field hydraulic conductivity testing performed as part of our study was developed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and was referred to as the well permeameter method. The field hydraulic conductivity tests were performed by adding water to the test holes to maintain a constant water level (constant head test). The calculated hydraulic conductivity value for field hydraulic conductivity test holes DP-1 and DP-2 were 3 feet per day (ft/day) and 108 ft/day, respectively. The calculated value for DP-1 is within the expected ranges for the soil types encountered in our borings and is considered to be a representative value. The calculated value for DP-2 is much higher than the expected ranges for the soil types (upper clays) encountered in our borings. However, a layer of clean to silty gravel with sand was encountered in some of the other borings completed at this site at a depth of approximately 6 feet below existing site grades. It is likely the gravel layer extends below most of the site and would be expected near the bottom of DP-2. We believe the comparatively higher field hydraulic conductivity value measured in DP-2 is due to the higher flow rates that occur as water flows into the gravel layer below the site. The test results and schematics of the field hydraulic conductivity test hole details, Exhibit B-7 and B-8, are included in Appendix B. The field hydraulic conductivity test results and soils encountered in our borings completed at the site indicate infiltration of storm water retained in a reservoir below permeable pavements into the soils underlying this site will be favorable for the design of permeable pavements. However, shallow groundwater conditions may limit the allowable depth of the retention area below permeable pavements. The slotted PVC pipe was left in place for future groundwater readings. 4.7 Pavements 4.7.1 Pavements – Conventional Subgrade Preparation On most project sites, the site grading is accomplished relatively early in the construction phase. Fills are typically placed and compacted in a uniform manner. However as construction proceeds, the subgrade may be disturbed due to utility excavations, construction traffic, desiccation, or rainfall/snow melt. As a result, the pavement subgrade may not be suitable for pavement construction and corrective action will be required. The subgrade should be carefully Geotechnical Engineering Report Uptown Plaza Fort Collins, Colorado July 24, 2013 Terracon Project No. 20135023 Responsive Resourceful Reliable 19 evaluated at the time of pavement construction for signs of disturbance or instability. We recommend the pavement subgrade be thoroughly proofrolled with a loaded tandem-axle dump truck prior to final grading and paving. All pavement areas should be moisture conditioned and properly compacted to the recommendations in this report immediately prior to paving. 4.7.2 Pavements – Permeable Pavement Subgrade Preparation Unlike conventional pavements, permeable pavement subgrades are not compacted. When preparing the subgrade for permeable pavements, care should be taken to excavate the required reservoir storage volume without disturbing the underlying soils. Groundwater was encountered at depths of about 3.5 and 3.7 feet below existing site grades in the portion of the site planned for permeable pavements. Shallow groundwater conditions will limit the thickness of the rock reservoir layer used to store the storm water runoff. Shallow groundwater will also reduce infiltration rates as the water stored within the rock reservoir layer infiltrates into the groundwater. 4.7.2 Pavements – Design Recommendations Design of pavements for the project have been based on the procedures outlined in the 1993 Guideline for Design of Pavement Structures prepared by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). A sample of the fill materials selected for swell-consolidation testing exhibited no movement when wetted under an applied pressure of 200 psf which is less than the maximum 2 percent criteria established for determining if swell-mitigation procedures in the pavement sections are required per LCUASS standards. Therefore, we do not believe swell-mitigation of the subgrade materials prior to pavement operations is necessary. Traffic patterns and anticipated loading conditions were not available at the time that this report was prepared. However, we anticipate that the new parking areas (i.e., light-duty) will be primarily used by personal vehicles (cars and pick-up trucks). Delivery trucks and refuse disposal vehicles will be expected in the drive lanes and loading areas (i.e., medium-duty). A maximum of 10 trucks per week were considered developing our recommendations. If heavier traffic loading is expected, Terracon should be provided with the information and allowed to review these pavement sections. Rigid pavement design is based on an evaluation of the Modulus of Subgrade Reaction of the soils (k-value), the Modulus of Rupture of the concrete, and other factors previously described. A Modulus of Subgrade Reaction of 200 pci, and a Modulus of Rupture of 600 psi, were used for pavement concrete. The rigid pavement thickness was determined on the basis of the AASHTO design equation. Recommended minimum pavement sections are provided in the table below.

There are several choices for base course depending upon which type of permeable pavement is chosen. Terracon recommends constructing perimeter curbing around permeable pavements and between conventional and permeable pavements to reduce infiltration of water below moisture sensitive subgrades. Where rigid pavements are used, portland cement concrete should be produced from an approved mix design with the following minimum properties: Properties Value Compressive strength 4,000 psi (mimum) Cement type Type I or II cement Entrained air content (%) 5 to 8 Geotechnical Engineering Report Uptown Plaza Fort Collins, Colorado July 24, 2013 Terracon Project No. 20135023 Responsive Resourceful Reliable 21 Concrete should be deposited by truck mixers or agitators and placed a maximum of 90 minutes from the time the water is added to the mix. Longitudinal and transverse joints should be provided as needed in concrete pavements for expansion/contraction and isolation per ACI 325. The location and extent of joints should be based upon the final pavement geometry. Joints should be sealed to prevent entry of foreign material and doweled where necessary for load transfer. Although not required for structural support, a minimum 4-inch thick aggregate base course layer is recommended for the PCC pavements in heavy-duty areas to help reduce the potential for slab curl, shrinkage cracking, and subgrade “pumping” through joints. Proper joint spacing will also be required for PCC pavements to prevent excessive slab curling and shrinkage cracking. All joints should be sealed to prevent entry of foreign material and dowelled where necessary for load transfer. For areas subject to concentrated and repetitive loading conditions such as dumpster pads, truck delivery docks and ingress/egress aprons, we recommend using a portland cement concrete pavement with a thickness of at least 6 inches underlain by at least 4 inches of granular base. Prior to placement of the granular base the areas should be thoroughly proofrolled. For dumpster pads, the concrete pavement area should be large enough to support the container and tipping axle of the refuse truck. Pavement performance is affected by its surroundings. In addition to providing preventive maintenance, the civil engineer should consider the following recommendations in the design and layout of pavements: Site grades should slope a minimum of 2 percent away from the pavements; The subgrade and the pavement surface have a minimum 2 percent slope to promote proper surface drainage; Consider appropriate edge drainage and pavement under drain systems; Install pavement drainage surrounding areas anticipated for frequent wetting; Install joint sealant and seal cracks immediately; Seal all landscaped areas in, or adjacent to pavements to reduce moisture migration to subgrade soils; and Placing compacted, low permeability backfill against the exterior side of curb and gutter. 4.7.3 Pavements – Maintenance Preventative maintenance should be planned and provided for an ongoing pavement management program in order to enhance future pavement performance. Preventive maintenance consists of both localized maintenance (e.g. crack and joint sealing and patching) and global maintenance (e.g. surface sealing). Preventative maintenance is usually the first priority when implementing a planned pavement maintenance program and provides the highest return on investment for pavements. Geotechnical Engineering Report Uptown Plaza Fort Collins, Colorado July 24, 2013 Terracon Project No. 20135023 Responsive Resourceful Reliable 22 Permeable pavements require periodic inspection and cleaning. Consideration should be given to installing signage to restrict heavily loaded vehicles (i.e. trash trucks, delivery trucks, etc.) from driving on permeable pavement areas. Also, maintenance of permeable pavements should be completed by properly trained workers. 5.0 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.
