A total of thirty (30) preliminary soil borings were drilled from August 14 through 30, 2017, at the approximate locations as indicated on the enclosed Figure 1: Boring Location Diagram included with this report. The borings were extended to depths of approximately 25 to 40 feet below existing site grades. Individual boring logs, including groundwater observations, depth to bedrock, and results of laboratory testing are included as a part of the attached report. This exploration was completed in general accordance with our proposal dated June 26, 2017. In summary, the subsurface soils encountered in the preliminary test borings generally consisted of cohesive lean clay with varying amounts of sand subsoils. The cohesive soils were generally soft to very stiff and exhibited low to high swell potential at current moisture and density conditions. The lean clay subsoils were underlain by sand/gravel with varying amounts of silt soils at depths of approximately 7 to 39 feet. The sand/gravel subsoils extended to the depths explored, approximately 25 to 40 feet, or to the underlying bedrock. The sandstone/siltstone/claystone bedrock was encountered in seven (7) of the thirty (30) preliminary test borings at depths ranging from approximately 24 to 27 feet below existing site grades and Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 2 extended to the depths explored. The bedrock formation was highly weathered and became more competent/harder with increased depth. Groundwater was observed in the majority of the preliminary test borings at depths ranging from approximately 2 to 36½ feet below existing site grades. Based on the materials observed within the preliminary boring locations and the anticipated foundation loads, we believe the proposed lightly to moderately loaded structures, either commercial/retail building and/or residential structures with possible basements, could be supported by conventional spread footings bearing on either suitable native subsoils or on a zone of engineered/controlled fill material placed and compacted as described within this report. Due to the variable depth to groundwater across the site, moderate to high swells at various locations, and occasional areas with lower bearing capacities, ground modifications may be necessary in these areas, as described within this report. Groundwater was encountered across the site within the majority of the preliminary borings at approximate depths of 2 to 36½ feet below existing site grades. If lower level construction or full-depth basements are being considered for the site, we would suggest that the lower level subgrade(s) be placed a minimum of 3 feet above the maximum anticipated rise in groundwater levels, or a combination exterior and interior perimeter drainage system(s) be installed. Foundations for slab-on-grade buildings should also be placed at least 3 feet above maximum groundwater levels or have proper drainage in areas with extremely shallow groundwater. Additional drainage system recommendations are provided within the text portion of this report. In general, it appears the in-situ site materials could be used for support of interior slab-on- grades, exterior flatwork, and site pavements; however, ground modification procedures such as over-excavation and replacement of existing fill materials as approved engineered fill and placement of an approved imported fill material may be required to reduce post-construction movement in some areas. Post-construction movement can be reduced but cannot be eliminated. Additionally, the cohesive subsoil materials may be subject to strength loss and instability when wetted. Close monitoring and evaluation during the construction phase should be performed to reduce post-construction movement. PRELIMINARY SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION REPORT 800 ACRE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT SOUTH OF LCR 52 AND WEST OF ANHEUSER BUSCH FORT COLLINS, COLORADO EEC PROJECT NO. 1172058 October 2, 2017 INTRODUCTION The preliminary subsurface exploration for the proposed 800-acre mixed use development located southeast of Larimer County Road (LCR) 52 and LCR 50E in Fort Collins, Colorado has been completed. A total of thirty (30) soil borings were drilled from August 14 through 30, 2017 at the approximate locations as indicated on the enclosed Boring Location Diagrams included with this report. The thirty (30) preliminary soil borings were advanced to depths of approximately 25 to 40 feet below existing site grades across the proposed development property to obtain information on existing subsurface conditions. Individual boring logs and site diagrams indicating the approximate boring locations are included with this report. The 800-acre development property is located southeast of Larimer County Road (LCR) 52 and LCR 50E and generally extends east to the existing Budweiser property and Interstate 25 and south to LCR 50 and Canal Access Road in Fort Collins, Colorado. The property will be developed for residential, commercial, and industrial use, including utility and interior roadway infrastructure. Foundation loads for the proposed residential, commercial, and industrial structures are anticipated to be light to moderate with continuous wall loads less than 4 kips per lineal foot and individual column loads less than 250 kips. Floor loads are expected to be light. Those structures are expected to include slab-on-grade, below grade construction such as crawl spaces, garden-level and/or full- depth basements where applicable. We anticipate maximum cuts and fills on the order of 5 feet (+/-) will be completed to develop the site grades. Overall site development will include construction of interior roadway designed in general accordance with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) Pavement Design Criteria. The purpose of this report is to describe the subsurface conditions encountered in the preliminary borings, analyze and evaluate the test data and provide preliminary geotechnical recommendations concerning site development including foundations, floor slabs, pavement sections and the possibility for an area underdrain system to support basement construction. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 2 EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES The boring locations were established in the field by a representative of Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC) by pacing and estimating angles from identifiable site features. Those locations should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the methods used to make the field measurements. Photographs of the site taken at the time of drilling are provided with this report. The borings were performed using either a truck-mounted CME-55 drill rig equipped with a hydraulic head employed in drilling and sampling operations. The boreholes were advanced using 4-inch nominal diameter continuous flight augers. Samples of the subsurface materials encountered were obtained using split-barrel and California barrel sampling procedures in general accordance with ASTM Specifications D1586 and D3550, respectively. In the split-barrel and California barrel sampling procedures, standard sampling spoons are driven into the ground by means of a 140-pound hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the samplers is recorded and is used to estimate the in-situ relative density of cohesionless soils and, to a lesser degree of accuracy, the consistency of cohesive soils and hardness of weathered bedrock. In the California barrel sampling procedure, relatively undisturbed samples are obtained in brass liners. All samples obtained in the field were sealed and returned to the laboratory for further examination, classification and testing. Laboratory moisture content tests were performed on each of the recovered samples. In addition, selected samples were tested for fines content and plasticity by washed sieve analysis and Atterberg limits tests. Swell/consolidation tests were completed on selected samples to evaluate the subgrade materials’ tendency to change volume with variation in moisture content and load. Several samples were obtained from borings for Hveem Stabilometer/R-Value (ASTM Specification D2844) testing analyses to determine the in-situ subgrade strength characteristics. The quantity of water soluble sulfates was determined on select samples to evaluate the risk of sulfate attack on site concrete. Results of the outlined tests are indicated on the attached boring logs and summary sheets. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 3 As a part of the testing program, all samples were examined in the laboratory and classified in general accordance with the attached General Notes and the Unified Soil Classification System, based on the sample's texture and plasticity. The estimated group symbol for the Unified Soil Classification System is shown on the boring logs and a brief description of that classification system is included with this report. Classification of the bedrock was based on visual and tactual observation of disturbed samples and auger cuttings. Coring and/or petrographic analysis may reveal other rock types. SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The 800-acre development is located southeast of LCR 52 and LCR 50E in Fort Collins, Colorado. The project site is generally undeveloped farmland with a few existing structures scattered throughout. Surface water drainage across the site is generally to the south and to the east. Estimated relief across the site from northwest to southeast is approximately 25 to 30 feet (±). An EEC field engineer was on-site during drilling to direct the drilling activities and evaluate the subsurface materials encountered. Field descriptions of the materials encountered were based on visual and tactual observation of disturbed samples and auger cuttings. The boring logs included with this report may contain modifications to the field logs based on results of laboratory testing and engineering evaluation. Based on results of field and laboratory evaluation, subsurface conditions can be generalized as follows. Sparse vegetation and topsoil were encountered at the surface of each boring. The topsoil and/or agricultural/vegetation layers were underlain by brown lean clay with varying amounts of sand subsoils. Some zones of clayey sand were encountered in a few of the borings. The lean clay subsoils were generally soft to very stiff, exhibited low to moderate plasticity and low to high swell potential at current moisture and density conditions. The lean clay subsoils were underlain by sand/gravel with varying amounts of silt soils at depths of approximately 7 to 39 feet. The sands/gravels extended to the depths explored, approximately 25 to 40 feet, or to the underlying bedrock formation in a few borings. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 4 The overburden soils were underlain by bedrock consisting of interbedded layers of sandstone, siltstone, and claystone. The sandstone/siltstone/claystone bedrock was encountered in seven (7) of the thirty (30) preliminary test borings at depths ranging from approximately 24 to 29 feet below existing site grades, was highly weathered and became more competent/harder with increased depth. The bedrock formation exhibited moderate swell potential at current moisture and density conditions. As presented herein, bedrock was encountered in borings B-4, B-6, B-19, B-20, B-24, B- 25 and B-30. The stratification boundaries indicated on the boring logs represent the approximate locations of changes in soil and rock types; in-situ, the transition of materials may be gradual and indistinct. GROUNDWATER OBSERVATIONS Observations were made while drilling and after the completion of drilling to detect the presence and level of groundwater. Groundwater was observed in the majority of the preliminary test borings at depths ranging from approximately 2 to 31 feet below existing site grades. Temporary field slotted piezometers were installed in fifteen (15) of the test borings at the time of drilling and subsequent groundwater measurements were taken on August 28 and September 8. At the time of the subsequent measurements, groundwater was observed at depths ranging from approximately 4½ to 33 feet and 6½ to 36½ feet, respectively. As presented herein, groundwater was not encountered to maximum depths of exploration in borings B-2 and B-8. The remaining fifteen (15) borings without piezometers were backfilled upon completion, and therefore subsequent groundwater measurements were not made. A diagram outlining approximate areas with relatively shallow groundwater measurements has been provided along with a groundwater contour map, (please refer to Figure Nos. 2 and 3), included in the appendix of this report. Groundwater measurements provided with this report are indicative of groundwater levels at the locations and at the time the borings/groundwater measurements were completed. In general, the groundwater piezometric flow is in the south direction. Perched and/or trapped water may be encountered in more permeable zones in the subgrade soils at times throughout the year. Perched water is commonly encountered in soils immediately overlying less permeable bedrock materials. Fluctuations in ground water levels and in the location and Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 5 amount of perched water may occur over time depending on variations in hydrologic conditions, irrigation activities on surrounding properties and other conditions not apparent at the time of this report. SOIL/GEOLOGIC REVIEW The site geology presented in this report is based upon review of listed literature and maps, and previous experience with similar geologic conditions in this area. The locations of geologic features are approximate and should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the methods used to identify those features. The surficial soils at the project site are described as eolian deposits (Pleistocene and Holocene) and valley fill deposits (Pleistocene and Holocene), the eolian deposits are described as fine grained sand, silt and clay and the valley fill deposits are described as arkosic gravel and sand deposit. The upper soil is overlying the Pierre Shale Formation (Upper Cretaceous), described as a claystone shale containing beds of sandstone and siltstone, as illustrated on the Geologic Map of the Lower Cache La Poudre River Basin, North-Central Colorado by Lloyd A. Hershey and Paul A. Schneider, Jr., 1972. No seismic faults are reported within approximately twenty-five miles of the site. The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) reports potentially active faults at least 25 miles west-southwest of the project site. The Fort Collins/Wellington Anticline, a small fold set, is described in the literature immediately west of the project location. The axis of the fold is described as trending north- northwest with asymmetrical limbs. The bedrock strata nearest to the axis is described as dipping at approximately 10 to 15 degrees east-northeast. The dip of the bedrock strata lessens with increased distance from the axis. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 6 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Swell/Consolidation Test Results Swell/consolidation testing is performed to evaluate the swell or collapse potential of soil or bedrock to assist in determining/evaluating foundation, floor slab and/or pavement design criteria. In the swell/consolidation test, relatively undisturbed samples obtained directly from the California barrel sampler are placed in a laboratory apparatus and inundated with water under a pre-established load. The swell-index is the resulting amount of swell or collapse under the initial loading condition expressed as a percent of the sample’s initial thickness. After the inundation period, additional incremental loads are applied to evaluate swell pressure and/or consolidation. As a part of our laboratory testing, we conducted twenty-nine (29) swell/consolidation tests on samples of the overburden cohesive subsoils and underlying claystone bedrock. The swell index values for the samples analyzed revealed low to high swell characteristics of approximately (+) 0.0 to (+) 7.6% for the overburden lean clays and approximately (+) 3.7% for the bedrock when inundated with water and pre-loaded at 150 psf and 500 psf. Results of the laboratory swell tests are indicated on the attached boring logs and the enclosed summary sheets. A diagram outlining approximate areas with swell indices higher than 3% has been included with this report as an indication of locations where swell mitigation should be considered, (please refer to Figure No. 4) in the appendix of this report The Colorado Association of Geotechnical Engineers (CAGE) uses the following information to provide uniformity in terminology between geotechnical engineers to provide a relative correlation risk performance to measured swell. “The representative percent swell values are not necessarily measured values; rather, they are a judgment of the swell of the soil and/or bedrock profile likely to influence slab performance.” Geotechnical engineers use this information to also evaluate the swell potential risks for foundation performance based on the risk categories. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 7 TABLE I: Recommended Representative Swell Potential Descriptions and Corresponding Slab Performance Risk Categories Slab Performance Risk Category Representative Percent Swell (500 psf Surcharge) Representative Percent Swell (1000 psf Surcharge) Low 0 to < 3 0 < 2 Moderate 3 to < 5 2 to < 4 High 5 to < 8 4 to < 6 Very High > 8 > 6 Based on the laboratory test results, the samples of overburden subsoils and the underlying bedrock formation analyzed ranged from low to high risk. General Considerations If lower level construction or full-depth basements are being considered for the site, we would suggest that the lower level subgrade(s) be placed a minimum of 3 feet above the maximum anticipated rise in groundwater levels, or a combination exterior and interior perimeter drainage system(s) be installed in areas with shallow groundwater, as shown on the attached diagram. Also, consideration could be given to 1) either designing and installing an area underdrain system to lower the groundwater levels provided a gravity discharge point can be established. If a gravity outlet/system cannot be designed another consideration would be to design and install a mechanical sump pump system to discharge the collected groundwater within the underdrain system, or 2) elevate/raise the site grades to establish the minimum suggested 3-foot separation to the maximum anticipated rise in groundwater. Foundations for buildings that are constructed slab-on-grade (no basement) should also be placed a minimum of 3 feet above the maximum anticipated rise in groundwater levels. During our subsurface exploration groundwater was found at depths as shallow as 2 feet in some areas, as shown on the attached diagram. Consideration should be given to the implementing a drainage or grading plan, as listed above, in these areas. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 8 Site Preparation All existing vegetation and/or topsoil should be removed from beneath site fills, roadways or building subgrade areas. Care should be taken to ensure that the foundations associated with any of the existing structures in the new building areas are completely removed. Stripping depths should be expected to vary, depending, in part, on past agricultural activities. In addition, any soft/loose native soils or any existing fill materials without documentation of controlled fill placement should be removed from improvement and/or new fill areas. After stripping and completing all cuts, any over excavation, and prior to placement of any fill, floor slabs or pavements, we recommend the exposed soils be scarified to a minimum depth of 9 inches, adjusted in moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of the material's maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM Specification D698, the standard Proctor procedure. The moisture content of the scarified materials should be adjusted to be within a range of 2% of standard Proctor optimum moisture at the time of compaction. In general, fill materials required to develop the building areas or site pavement subgrades should consist of approved, low-volume change materials which are free from organic matter and debris. The near surface lean clay soils with low swell potential and/or the sand/gravel soils could be used as fill in these areas. The claystone bedrock should not be used for fill in site improvement areas. We recommend the fill soils be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9 inches thick, adjusted in moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of the material’s maximum dry density as determined in accordance with the standard Proctor procedure. The moisture content of predominately clay soils should be adjusted to be within the range of ± 2% of optimum moisture content at the time of placement. Granular soil should be adjusted to a workable moisture content. Specific explorations should be completed for each building/individual residential lot to develop recommendations specific to the proposed structure and owner/builder and for specific pavement sections. Care should be taken after preparation of the subgrades to avoid disturbing the subgrade materials. Positive drainage should be developed away from structures and across and away from pavement Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 9 edges to avoid wetting of subgrade materials. Subgrade materials allowed to become wetted subsequent to construction of the residences and/or pavements can result in unacceptable performance of those improvements. Areas of greater fills overlying areas with soft/compressible subsoils, especially within the deeper utility alignments, may experience settlement due to the soft/compressible subsoils below and within the zone of placed fill materials. Settlement on the order of 1-inch or more per each 10 feet of fill depth would be estimated. The rate of settlement will be dependent on the type of fill material placed and construction methods. Granular soils will consolidate essentially immediately upon placement of overlying loads. Cohesive soils will consolidate at a slower rate. Preloading and/or surcharging the fill areas could be considered to induce additional settlement in these areas prior to construction of improvements in or on the fills. Unless positive steps are taken to pre-consolidate the fill materials and/or underlying soft subgrades, special care will be needed for construction of improvements supported on or within these areas. Foundation Systems – General Considerations The cohesive subsoils will require particular attention in the design and construction to reduce the amount of movement due to moderate to high swell potential and in-situ soft/compressible characteristics in some areas. Groundwater was also encountered at relatively shallow depths in a few areas which will require special attention in the overall design and construction of the project. As previously mentioned consideration could be given to the installation of an area underdrain system. Conventional type spread footings bearing on native subsoils or engineered controlled fill material were evaluated for use on the site; however final subsurface explorations should be performed after building footprints and elevations have been better defined and actual design loads determined. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 10 Preliminary Spread Footing Foundation Recommendations We anticipate use of conventional footing foundations could be considered for lightly to moderately loaded structures at this site. We expect footing foundations would be supported either on the native soils or on newly placed and compacted fills. A few soft zones were observed in the near surface clay soils; therefore, care should be taken to see that foundations are not supported directly on soft materials. Mitigation for swelling of the lean clay should be expected in the general areas shown on the attached diagram and mitigation for soft subgrade soils should be expected in a few areas. In areas where the cohesive subsoils exhibited elevated moisture contents near and/or encroaching the groundwater levels and/or where relatively low SPT N-Blows/ft were recorded, indicating “soft soils” we would expect these soft zones could require particular attention/ground modification procedures to develop increased support capacity characteristics. We expect enhancing/stiffening of the subgrade/bearing soils could be accomplished by incorporating into the soft/compressible subsoils a layer granular rock (i.e., 1-½ inches minus crushed concrete aggregate) into the top 12 to 18 inches (+/-) of the subgrades as an initial means and method. Depending on the proximity to groundwater and/or severity of the soft soils, overexcavation and backfill with an approved imported structural fill material placed and compacted as outlined herein could also be considered. We suggest an over excavation and backfill procedure be considered in areas with moderate to high swell potential and/or soft/compressible subsoils to reduce the potential for post construction movement. Over excavation depths should be expected to vary across the site, based on builder/owner requirements and lot-specific conditions. After completing a site-specific/lot-specific geotechnical exploration study, a thorough “open-hole/foundation excavation” observation should be performed prior to foundation formwork placement to determine the extent of any over excavation and replacement procedure. Deeper over excavation depths may be necessary depending upon the observed subsoils at the time of the foundation excavation observation. In general, the over excavation area would extend 8 inches laterally beyond the building perimeter for every 12 inches of overexcavation depth. We anticipate backfill materials would consist of an approved imported granular structural fill material such as a CDOT Class 7 aggregate base course (ABC) either native and/or recycled concrete oriented and/or equivalent, which is placed in uniforms lifts, properly Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 11 adjusted in moisture content and mechanically compacted to at least 95% of the material’s Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D698) results. For design of footing foundations bearing on approved native subsoils, (i.e., the native subsoils in which expansive and/or soft/compressible conditions are not encountered), or on properly placed and compacted fill materials as outlined above, maximum net allowable total load soil bearing pressures on the order of 1,500 to 2,500 psf could be considered depending upon the specific backfill material used. Footing foundations should maintain separation above maximum anticipated rise in groundwater elevation of at least 3 feet as indicated earlier. The net bearing pressure refers to the pressure at foundation bearing level in excess of the minimum surrounding overburden pressure. Total load would include full dead and live loads. Exterior foundations and foundations in unheated areas are typically located at least 30 inches below adjacent exterior grade to provide frost protection. Formed continuous footings would have minimum widths of 12 to 16 inches and isolated column foundations would have a minimum width of 24 to 30 inches. Trenched foundations could probably be used in the near surface soils. If used, trenched foundations would have a minimum width of 12 inches and formed continuous foundations a minimum width of 8 inches. Care should be taken to avoid placement of structures partly on native soils and partly on newly placed fill materials to avoid differential settlement. In these areas, mitigation approaches could include surcharging of the fill materials, overexcavation of the native soils or use of alternative foundations, such as drilled piers, along with structural floors. Mitigation approaches may vary between structures depending, in part, on the extent and depth of new fill placement. Specific approaches could be established at the time of exploration for the individual structures. Care should be taken on the site to fully document the horizontal and vertical extent of fill placement on the site, including benching the fill into native slopes. Preliminary Floor Slab/Exterior Flatwork Subgrades We recommend all existing vegetation/topsoil be removed from beneath the floor slab and exterior flatwork areas as outlined in the section titled Site Preparation. Due to the moderate to high swell Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 12 potential in areas across the site, as shown on the attached diagram, an over excavation procedure should be considered in those areas. The over excavation should be expected to extend to depths of 2 to 3 feet, and should be done in accordance with the recommendations for foundation over excavations. After stripping and completing all cuts and any over excavation, and prior to placement of any flatwork concrete or fill, the exposed subgrades should be scarified, adjusted in moisture content and compacted. If the subgrades become dry and desiccated prior to floor slab construction, it may be necessary to rework the subgrades prior to floor slab placement. Fill soils required to develop the floor slab subgrades should consist of approved, low-volume change materials which are free from organic matter and debris. Those fill materials should be placed as previously described in the section Site Preparation and surcharged/preloaded and/or monitored as necessary to limit total and differential movement after construction of overlying improvements. Preliminary Basement Design and Construction Groundwater was encountered across the site within the preliminary soil borings at approximate depths of 2 to 36½ feet below existing site grades. If lower level construction for either garden-level or full-depth basements is being considered for the site, we would suggest that the lower level subgrade(s) be placed a minimum of 3 feet above maximum anticipated rise in groundwater levels, or a combination exterior and interior perimeter drainage system(s) be installed in areas with shallow groundwater as indicated on the attached diagram. Consideration could be given to 1) either designing and installing an area underdrain system to lower the groundwater levels provided a gravity discharge point can be established. If a gravity outlet/system cannot be designed another consideration would be to design and install a mechanical sump pump system to discharge the collected groundwater within the underdrain system, or 2) elevate/raise the site grades to establish the minimum required 3-foot separation to the maximum anticipated rise in groundwater EEC is available to assist in the underdrain design if requested. For each individual building with a garden level or full-depth basement located less than 3 feet above maximum groundwater levels, the dewatering system should, at a minimum, include an under- Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 13 slab gravel drainage layer sloped to an interior perimeter drainage system. Considerations for the preliminary design of the combination exterior and interior perimeter drainage system are as follows: The under-slab drainage system should consist of a properly sized perforated pipe, embedded in free-draining gravel, placed in a trench at least 12 inches in width. The trench should be inset from the interior edge of the nearest foundation a minimum of 12 inches. In addition, the trench should be located such that an imaginary line extending downward at a 45-degree angle from the foundation does not intersect the nearest edge of the trench. Gravel should extend a minimum of 3 inches beneath the bottom of the pipe. The underslab drainage system should be sloped at a minimum 1/8 inch per foot to a suitable outlet, such as a sump and pump system. The underslab drainage layer should consist of a minimum 6-inch thickness of free-draining gravel meeting the specifications of ASTM C33, Size No. 57 or 67 or equivalent. Cross-connecting drainage pipes should be provided beneath the slab at minimum 15-foot intervals, and should discharge to the perimeter drainage system. Sizing of drainage pipe will be dependent upon groundwater flow into the dewatering system. Groundwater flow rates will fluctuate with permeability of the soils to be dewatered and the depth to which groundwater may rise in the future. Pump tests to determine groundwater flow rates are recommended in order to properly design the system. For preliminary design purposes, the drainage pipe, sump and pump system should be sized for a projected flow of 0.5 x 10-3 cubic feet per second (cfs) per lineal foot of drainage pipe. Additional recommendations can be provided upon request and should be presented in final subsurface exploration reports for each residential/commercial lot. The exterior drainage system should be constructed around the exterior perimeter of the lower level/below grade foundation system, and sloped at a minimum 1/8 inch per foot to a suitable outlet, such as a sump and pump system. The exterior drainage system should consist of a properly sized perforated pipe, embedded in free- draining gravel, placed in a trench at least 12 inches in width. Gravel should extend a minimum of 3 inches beneath the bottom of the pipe, and at least 2 feet above the bottom of the foundation wall. The system should be underlain with a polyethylene moisture barrier, sealed to the foundation walls, Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 14 and extended at least to the edge of the backfill zone. The gravel should be covered with drainage fabric prior to placement of foundation backfill. Preliminary Pavement Subgrades The average swell index for the preliminary test borings is above the LCUASS pavement design standard maximum value of 2%. Therefore, a swell mitigation plan consisting of a 2 to 3 foot over excavation and replacement concept or fly ash treatment of the subgrades should be considered within roadway alignments in areas with swell indices above 2%. All existing vegetation and/or topsoil and any soft or loose materials should be removed from pavement areas. After stripping, completing all cuts, and any over excavation, and prior to placement of any fill or pavements, we recommend the exposed soils be scarified to a minimum depth of 9 inches, adjusted in moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of the material's maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM Specification D698, the standard Proctor procedure. The moisture content of the scarified soils should be adjusted to be within the range of 2% of standard Proctor optimum moisture. Fill materials required to develop the pavement subgrades should consist of approved, low-volume change materials, free from organic matter and debris. The near surface lean clay and/or clayey sand soils could be used for fill in these areas. We recommend those fill soils be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9 inches thick, adjusted in moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of the material's standard Proctor maximum dry density. Settlement in the fill areas should be expected as previously outlined with possible mitigation including surcharging or preloading. After completion of the pavement subgrades, care should be taken to prevent disturbance of those materials prior to placement of the overlying pavements. Soils which are disturbed by construction activities should be reworked in-place or, if necessary, removed and replaced prior to placement of overlying fill or pavements. Depending on final site grading and/or weather conditions at the time of pavement construction, stabilization of a portion of the site pavement subgrades may be required to develop suitable Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 15 pavement subgrades. The site clayey soils could be subject to instability at higher moisture contents. Stabilization could also be considered as part of the pavement design, although prior to finalizing those sections, a stabilization mix design would be required. Preliminary Site Pavements Pavement sections are based on traffic volumes and subgrade strength characteristics. Based on the results of our laboratory testing, an R-value of 14 would be appropriate for design of the pavements supported on the subgrade soils. Suggested preliminary pavement sections for the local residential and minor collector roadways are provided below in Table II. Thicker pavement sections may be required for roadways classified as major collectors. A final pavement design thickness evaluation will be determined when a pavement design exploration is completed (after subgrades are developed to ± 6 inches of design and wet utilities installed in the roadways). The projected traffic may vary from the traffic assumed from the roadway classification based on a site-specific traffic study.

Aggregate base should be consistent with CDOT requirements for Class 5 or Class 6 aggregate base. A suggested specification for stabilization of the subgrades with class C fly ash is included with this report. As previously mentioned a final subgrade investigation and pavement design should be performed in general accordance with the LCUASS Pavement Design Criteria prior to placement of any pavement sections, to determine the required pavement section after design configurations, roadway utilities have been installed and roadway have been prepared to “rough” subgrade elevations have been completed. Detention Ponds It is expected that various detention ponds may be designed/constructed throughout the site. Detention ponds are generally designed to collect surface water and/or roof runoff for the project as a temporary “holding basin” over time and eventually discharge the water into the storm sewer drainage system. Depending upon the final design depth of the detention ponds, and due to the potential for groundwater fluctuations to become elevated and enter the ponds, as well as the permeability characteristics of the on-site cohesive materials, consideration could be given to lining the pond bottom of the ponds with the on-site clay soils and/or approved imported cohesive soils, to prevent groundwater intrusion from entering the pond. Sand and gravel generally exhibit high soil percolation/permeability characteristics allowing for an increase in infiltration, not conducive for containing water. In general, the bottom of any unlined detention pond should be at least 3-feet above the maximum anticipate rise in groundwater. After site configurations and detention pond elevations have been more defined we can provide additional geotechnical exploration activities, laboratory testing and lining recommendations upon request. Underground Utility Systems All piping should be adequately bedded for proper load distribution. It is suggested that clean, graded gravel compacted to 70 percent of Relative Density ASTM D4253 be used as bedding. Where utilities are excavated below groundwater, temporary dewatering will be required during excavation, pipe Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 17 placement and backfilling operations for proper construction. Utility trenches should be excavated on safe and stable slopes in accordance with OSHA regulations as further discussed herein. Backfill should consist of the on-site soils or approved imported materials. The pipe backfill should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D698. Water Soluble Sulfates – (SO4) The water soluble sulfate (SO4) testing of the on-site subgrade material collected during our subsurface exploration is provided in the following table below. Based on the reported sulfate contents test results, this report includes a recommendation for the CLASS or TYPE of cement for use for contact in association with the on-site subsoils.

Therefore Class 2 or Type V cement should be used for concrete on and below site grade within the on-site overburden soils. Foundation concrete should be designed in accordance with the provisions of the ACI Design Manual, Section 318, Chapter 4. These results are being compared to the following table.

Excavations extending to the wetter soils could create difficulties for backfilling of the sewer trenches with drying of the subgrade soils required to use those materials as backfill. In general, the subgrade soils could be used as overlot fill and backfill soils although care will be necessary to maintain sufficient moisture to reduce potential for post-construction movement. Although evidence of fills or underground facilities such as septic tanks, cesspools, basements, and utilities was not observed during the site reconnaissance, such features could be encountered during construction. 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. Excavations into the on-site soils will encounter a variety of conditions. Excavations into the clays and bedrock can be expected to stand on relatively steep temporary slopes during construction; however, caving soils may also be encountered especially in close proximity to the groundwater table, as well as in the sand/gravel zones below the overlying clay soils. Groundwater seepage should also be anticipated for utility excavations. Pumping from sumps may be utilized to control water within the excavations. Well points may be required for significant groundwater flow, or where excavations penetrate groundwater to a significant depth. The individual contractor(s) should be made 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. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 October 2, 2017 Page 19 Positive drainage should be developed away from the structures and pavement areas with a minimum slope of 1 inch per foot for the first 10 feet away from the improvements in landscape areas. Care should be taken in planning of landscaping (if required) adjacent to the buildings to avoid features which would pond water adjacent to the foundations or stemwalls. Placement of plants which require irrigation systems or could result in fluctuations of the moisture content of the subgrade material should be avoided adjacent to site improvements. Irrigation systems should not be placed within 5 feet of the perimeter of the buildings and parking areas. Spray heads should be designed not to spray water on or immediately adjacent to the structures or site pavements. Roof drains should be designed to discharge at least 5 feet away from the structures and away from the pavement areas. GENERAL COMMENTS The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the data obtained from the soil borings performed at the indicated locations and from any other information discussed in this report. This report does not reflect any variations which may occur between borings or across the site. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction. If variations appear evident, it will be necessary to re-evaluate the recommendations of this report. Site specific explorations will be necessary for the proposed site buildings. It is recommended that the geotechnical engineer be retained to review the plans and specifications so that comments can be made regarding the interpretation and implementation of our geotechnical recommendations in the design and specifications. It is further recommended that the geotechnical engineer be retained for testing and observations during earthwork and foundation construction phases to help determine that the design requirements are fulfilled. This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Chase Merritt for specific application to the project discussed and has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices.

DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION Soil Classification is based on the Unified Soil Classification system and the ASTM Designations D‐2488. Coarse Grained Soils have move than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are described as: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are described as : clays, if they are plastic, and silts if they are slightly plastic or non‐plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse grained soils are defined on the basis of their relative in‐ place density and fine grained soils on the basis of their consistency. Example: Lean clay with sand, trace gravel, stiff (CL); silty sand, trace gravel, medium dense (SM).

Report 40-Acre Development North of East LCR 50 and East of Turnberry Road Fort Collins, Colorado EEC Project No. 1172058B Mr. Moss: Enclosed, herewith, are the results of the preliminary subsurface exploration completed by Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC personnel for the referenced project. A total of five (5) preliminary soil borings were drilled on August 7, 2018, at the approximate locations as indicated on the enclosed Boring Location Diagram included with this report. The borings were extended to depths of approximately 30 to 40 feet below existing site grades. Individual boring logs, including groundwater observations, depth to bedrock, and results of laboratory testing are included as a part of the attached report. This exploration was completed in general accordance with our proposal dated June 29, 2018. In summary, the subsurface soils encountered in the preliminary test borings generally consisted of cohesive lean clay with varying amounts of sand subsoils. Some zones of clayey sand were encountered in a few of the borings. The lean clay subsoils were generally stiff to very stiff, exhibited low to moderate plasticity and low to moderate swell potential at current moisture and density conditions. The lean clay subsoils were underlain by sand/gravel soils in boring B-3 and B-5 at depths of approximately 34 to 39 feet and extended to the depths explored of approximately 30 to 40 feet in the remaining borings. The sands/gravels extended to the depths explored, approximately 40 feet below the ground surface. Bedrock was not encountered to maximum depths explored, approximately 40 feet. Groundwater was observed in the preliminary test borings at depths ranging from approximately 24 to 29 feet below existing site grades at the time of drilling and 24 hours after drilling. PRELIMINARY SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION REPORT 40-ACRE DEVELOPMENT NORTH OF EAST LCR 50 AND EAST OF TURNBERRY ROAD FORT COLLINS, COLORADO EEC PROJECT NO. 1172058B August 17, 2018 INTRODUCTION The preliminary subsurface exploration for the proposed 40-acre development parcel located northeast of East Larimer County Road (LCR) 50 and Turnberry Road in Fort Collins, Colorado has been completed. A total of five (5) preliminary soil borings were drilled on August 7, 2018, at the approximate locations as indicated on the enclosed Boring Location Diagram included with this report. The five (5) preliminary soil borings were advanced to depths of approximately 30 to 40 feet below existing site grades across the proposed development property to obtain information on existing subsurface conditions. Individual boring logs and site diagrams indicating the approximate boring locations are included with this report. The 40-acre development property is located northeast of East Larimer County Road (LCR) 50 and Turnberry Road in Fort Collins, Colorado. As we understand, the property will be developed for a potential Poudre School District Facility, including associated pavement and utility infrastructure. Foundation loads for the proposed structures are anticipated to be light to moderate with continuous wall loads less than 4 kips per lineal foot and individual column loads less than 250 kips. Floor loads are expected to be light. We anticipate maximum cuts and fills on the order of 5 feet (+/-) will be completed to develop the site grades. Overall site development will include construction of associated pavements designed in general accordance with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) Pavement Design Criteria. The purpose of this report is to describe the subsurface conditions encountered in the preliminary borings, analyze and evaluate the test data and provide preliminary geotechnical recommendations concerning site development including foundations, floor slabs, pavement sections and the possibility for an area underdrain system to support basement construction. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058B August 17, 2018 Page 2 EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES The boring locations were established in the field by a representative of Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC) by pacing and estimating angles from identifiable site features in areas accessible to our drilling equipment without disrupting to on-going farming activities. Those locations should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the methods used to make the field measurements. Photographs of the site taken at the time of drilling are provided with this report. The borings were performed using either a truck-mounted CME-55 drill rig equipped with a hydraulic head employed in drilling and sampling operations. The boreholes were advanced using 4-inch nominal diameter continuous flight augers. Samples of the subsurface materials encountered were obtained using split-barrel and California barrel sampling procedures in general accordance with ASTM Specifications D1586 and D3550, respectively. In the split-barrel and California barrel sampling procedures, standard sampling spoons are driven into the ground by means of a 140-pound hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the samplers is recorded and is used to estimate the in-situ relative density of cohesionless soils and, to a lesser degree of accuracy, the consistency of cohesive soils and hardness of weathered bedrock. In the California barrel sampling procedure, relatively undisturbed samples are obtained in brass liners. All samples obtained in the field were sealed and returned to the laboratory for further examination, classification and testing. Laboratory moisture content tests were performed on each of the recovered samples. In addition, selected samples were tested for fines content and plasticity by washed sieve analysis and Atterberg limits tests. Swell/consolidation tests were completed on selected samples to evaluate the subgrade materials’ tendency to change volume with variation in moisture content and load. The quantity of water soluble sulfates was determined on select samples to evaluate the risk of sulfate attack on site concrete. Results of the outlined tests are indicated on the attached boring logs and summary sheets. As a part of the testing program, all samples were examined in the laboratory and classified in general accordance with the attached General Notes and the Unified Soil Classification System, Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058B August 17, 2018 Page 3 based on the sample's texture and plasticity. The estimated group symbol for the Unified Soil Classification System is shown on the boring logs and a brief description of that classification system is included with this report. SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The 40-acre development property is located northeast of East Larimer County Road (LCR) 50 and Turnberry Road in Fort Collins, Colorado. The project site is generally undeveloped farmland with an existing residential development to the west of the parcel. Surface water drainage across the site is generally to the south and to the east. Estimated relief across the site from northwest to southeast is approximately 15 to 20 feet (±). An EEC field engineer was on-site during drilling to direct the drilling activities and evaluate the subsurface materials encountered. Field descriptions of the materials encountered were based on visual and tactual observation of disturbed samples and auger cuttings. The boring logs included with this report may contain modifications to the field logs based on results of laboratory testing and engineering evaluation. Based on results of field and laboratory evaluation, subsurface conditions can be generalized as follows. Sparse vegetation and topsoil were encountered at the surface of each boring. The topsoil and/or agricultural/vegetation layers were underlain by lean clay with varying amounts of sand subsoils. Some zones of clayey sand were encountered in a few of the borings. The lean clay subsoils were generally stiff to very stiff, exhibited low to moderate plasticity and low to moderate swell potential at current moisture and density conditions. The lean clay subsoils were underlain by sand/gravel soils in boring B-3 and B-5 at depths of approximately 34 to 39 feet and extended to the depths explored of approximately 30 to 40 feet in the remaining borings. The sands/gravels extended to the depths explored, approximately 40 feet below the ground surface. Bedrock was not encountered to maximum depths of exploration, approximately 40 feet. The stratification boundaries indicated on the boring logs represent the approximate locations of changes in soil and rock types; in-situ, the transition of materials may be gradual and indistinct. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058B August 17, 2018 Page 4 GROUNDWATER OBSERVATIONS Observations were made while drilling and approximately 24 hours after the completion of drilling to detect the presence and level of groundwater. Groundwater was observed in the preliminary test borings at depths ranging from approximately 24 to 29 feet below existing site grades. The borings were backfilled after the 24-hour measurements, and therefore subsequent groundwater measurements were not made. A diagram outlining approximate areas with relatively shallow groundwater measurements has been provided along with a groundwater contour map, (please refer to Figure Nos. 2 and 3), included in the appendix of this report. Groundwater measurements provided with this report are indicative of groundwater levels at the locations and at the time the borings/groundwater measurements were completed. In general, the groundwater piezometric flow is in the south direction. Fluctuations in ground water levels and in the location and amount of perched water may occur over time depending on variations in hydrologic conditions, irrigation activities on surrounding properties and other conditions not apparent at the time of this report. ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Swell/Consolidation Test Results Swell/consolidation testing is performed to evaluate the swell or collapse potential of soil or bedrock to assist in determining/evaluating foundation, floor slab and/or pavement design criteria. In the swell/consolidation test, relatively undisturbed samples obtained directly from the California barrel sampler are placed in a laboratory apparatus and inundated with water under a pre-established load. The swell-index is the resulting amount of swell or collapse under the initial loading condition expressed as a percent of the sample’s initial thickness. After the inundation period, additional incremental loads are applied to evaluate swell pressure and/or consolidation. As a part of our laboratory testing, we conducted five (5) swell/consolidation tests on samples of the overburden cohesive subsoils at varying depths. The swell index values for the samples analyzed revealed low to moderate swell characteristics of approximately (+) 0.7 to (+) 5.3% for the Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058B August 17, 2018 Page 5 overburden lean clays pre-loaded at 150 psf and 500 psf. Table 1 summarized the swell- consolidation laboratory tests. Table I – Swell Consolidation Test Results Boring No. Depth, ft.

Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058B August 17, 2018 Page 6 Site Preparation All existing vegetation and/or topsoil should be removed from beneath site fills, roadways or building subgrade areas. Stripping depths should be expected to vary, depending, in part, on past agricultural activities. In addition, any soft/loose native soils or any existing fill materials without documentation of controlled fill placement should be removed from improvement and/or new fill areas. Due to the moderate swell potential of the near surface lean clay soils we recommend a minimum 2 feet of overexcavation and replacement below floor slabs, exterior flatwork, and pavements. After stripping and completing all cuts, any over excavation, and prior to placement of any fill, floor slabs or pavements, we recommend the exposed soils be scarified to a minimum depth of 9 inches, adjusted in moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of the material's maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM Specification D698, the standard Proctor procedure. The moisture content of the scarified materials should be adjusted to be within a range of 2% of standard Proctor optimum moisture at the time of compaction. In general, fill materials required to develop the building areas or site pavement subgrades should consist of approved, low-volume change materials which are free from organic matter and debris. The near surface lean clay soils or imported granular structural fill could be used as fill in these areas. The claystone bedrock should not be used for fill in site improvement areas. We recommend the fill soils be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9 inches thick, adjusted in moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of the material’s maximum dry density as determined in accordance with the standard Proctor procedure. The moisture content of predominately clay soils should be adjusted to be within the range of ± 2% of optimum moisture content at the time of placement. Granular soil should be adjusted to a workable moisture content. Care should be taken after preparation of the subgrades to avoid disturbing the subgrade materials. Positive drainage should be developed away from structures and across and away from pavement edges to avoid wetting of subgrade materials. Subgrade materials allowed to become wetted subsequent to construction of the residences and/or pavements can result in unacceptable performance of those improvements. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058B August 17, 2018 Page 7 Areas of greater fills, especially within the deeper utility alignments, may experience settlement. Settlement on the order of 1-inch or more per each 10 feet of fill depth would be estimated. The rate of settlement will be dependent on the type of fill material placed and construction methods. Granular soils will consolidate essentially immediately upon placement of overlying loads. Cohesive soils will consolidate at a slower rate. Preloading and/or surcharging the fill areas could be considered to induce additional settlement in these areas prior to construction of improvements in or on the fills. Unless positive steps are taken to pre-consolidate the fill materials, special care will be needed for construction of improvements supported on or within these areas. Foundation Systems – General Considerations Conventional type spread footings bearing on native subsoils or engineered controlled fill material were evaluated for use on the site; however final subsurface explorations should be performed after building footprints and elevations have been better defined and actual design loads determined. Depending on the expected building loads, alternative foundation systems could be considered and we would be pleased to provide additional recommendations upon request. Preliminary Spread Footing Foundation Recommendations We anticipate use of conventional footing foundations could be considered for lightly to moderately loaded structures at this site. We expect footing foundations would be supported either on the native soils or on newly placed and compacted fills. For design of footing foundations bearing on approved native subsoils or on properly placed and compacted fill materials as outlined above, maximum net allowable total load soil bearing pressures on the order of 1,500 to 2,500 psf could be considered depending upon the specific fill material used. The net bearing pressure refers to the pressure at foundation bearing level in excess of the minimum surrounding overburden pressure. Total load would include full dead and live loads. Exterior foundations and foundations in unheated areas are typically located at least 30 inches below adjacent exterior grade to provide frost protection. Formed continuous footings would have minimum widths of 12 to 16 inches and isolated column foundations would have a minimum width Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058B August 17, 2018 Page 8 of 24 to 30 inches. Trenched foundations could probably be used in the near surface soils. If used, trenched foundations would have a minimum width of 12 inches and formed continuous foundations a minimum width of 8 inches. Care should be taken to avoid placement of structures partly on native soils and partly on newly placed fill materials to avoid differential settlement. Preliminary Floor Slab/Exterior Flatwork Subgrades We recommend all existing vegetation/topsoil be removed from beneath the floor slab and exterior flatwork areas as outlined in the section titled Site Preparation. Due to the moderate swell potential of the near surface lean clay soils, an over excavation procedure should be considered below floor slabs. The over excavation should be expected to extend to a minimum depth of 2 feet and should extend 8 inches laterally for every 12 inches of depth. After stripping and completing all cuts and any over excavation, and prior to placement of any flatwork concrete or fill, the exposed subgrades should be scarified, adjusted in moisture content and compacted. If the subgrades become dry and desiccated prior to floor slab construction, it may be necessary to rework the subgrades prior to floor slab placement. Preliminary Pavement Subgrades The average swell index for the preliminary test borings is above the LCUASS pavement design standard maximum value of 2%. Therefore, a swell mitigation plan consisting of a 2-foot over excavation and replacement concept or fly ash treatment of the subgrades should be considered. All existing vegetation and/or topsoil and any soft or loose materials should be removed from pavement areas. After stripping, completing all cuts, and any over excavation, and prior to placement of any fill or pavements, we recommend the exposed soils be scarified to a minimum depth of 9 inches, adjusted in moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of the material's maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM Specification D698, the standard Proctor procedure. The moisture content of the scarified soils should be adjusted to be within the range of 2% of standard Proctor optimum moisture. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058B August 17, 2018 Page 9 Fill materials required to develop the pavement subgrades should consist of approved, low-volume change materials, free from organic matter and debris. The near surface lean clay and/or clayey sand soils could be used for fill in these areas. We recommend those fill soils be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9 inches thick, adjusted in moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of the material's standard Proctor maximum dry density. Settlement in the fill areas should be expected as previously outlined with possible mitigation including surcharging or preloading. After completion of the pavement subgrades, care should be taken to prevent disturbance of those materials prior to placement of the overlying pavements. Soils which are disturbed by construction activities should be reworked in-place or, if necessary, removed and replaced prior to placement of overlying fill or pavements. Depending on final site grading and/or weather conditions at the time of pavement construction, stabilization of a portion of the site pavement subgrades may be required to develop suitable pavement subgrades. The site clayey soils could be subject to instability at higher moisture contents. Stabilization could also be considered as part of the pavement design, although prior to finalizing those sections, a stabilization mix design would be required. Preliminary Site Pavements Pavement sections are based on traffic volumes and subgrade strength characteristics. Based on the observed subsoils, an R-value of 10 would be appropriate for design of the pavements supported on the subgrade soils. Suggested preliminary pavement sections are provided below in Table II. Thicker pavement sections may be required for roadways classified as major collectors. A final pavement design thickness evaluation will be determined when a pavement design exploration is completed (after subgrades are developed to ± 6 inches of design and wet utilities installed in the roadways). The projected traffic may vary from the traffic assumed from the roadway classification based on a site-specific traffic study.

Aggregate base should be consistent with CDOT requirements for Class 5 or Class 6 aggregate base. A suggested specification for stabilization of the subgrades with class C fly ash is included with this report. As previously mentioned a final subgrade investigation and pavement design should be performed in general accordance with the LCUASS Pavement Design Criteria prior to placement of any pavement sections, to determine the required pavement section after design configurations, roadway utilities have been installed and roadway have been prepared to “rough” subgrade elevations have been completed. Underground Utility Systems All piping should be adequately bedded for proper load distribution. It is suggested that clean, graded gravel compacted to 70 percent of Relative Density ASTM D4253 be used as bedding. Where utilities are excavated below groundwater, temporary dewatering will be required during excavation, pipe Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058B August 17, 2018 Page 11 placement and backfilling operations for proper construction. Utility trenches should be excavated on safe and stable slopes in accordance with OSHA regulations as further discussed herein. Backfill should consist of the on-site soils or approved imported materials. The pipe backfill should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D698. Water Soluble Sulfates – (SO4) The water soluble sulfate (SO4) content of the on-site overburden subsoils, taken during our subsurface exploration at random locations and intervals are provided below. Based on reported sulfate content test results, the Class/severity of sulfate exposure for concrete in contact with the on- site subsoils is provided in this report. TABLE IV - Water Soluble Sulfate Test Results Sample Location Description Soluble Sulfate Content (mg/kg) Soluble Sulfate Content (%) B-1, S-1, at 2’ Lean Clay with Sand (CL) 340 0.03 B-5, S-2, at 4’ Clayey Sand / Sandy Lean Clay (SC / CL) 90 0.01 Based on the results as presented above, ACI 318, Section 4.2 indicates the site soils and underlying bedrock have a low risk of sulfate attack on Portland cement concrete, therefore, ACI Class 0 requirements should be followed. Foundation concrete should be designed in accordance with the provisions of the ACI Design Manual, Section 318, Chapter 4. These results are being compared to the following table. Other Considerations and Recommendations Excavations into the on-site soils will encounter a variety of conditions. Excavations into the clays can be expected to stand on relatively steep temporary slopes during construction. Groundwater seepage should also be anticipated for utility excavations. Pumping from sumps may be utilized to control water within the excavations. Well points may be required for significant groundwater flow, or where excavations penetrate groundwater to a significant depth. The individual contractor(s) should be made responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary excavations as required Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058B August 17, 2018 Page 12 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. Positive drainage should be developed away from the structures and pavement areas with a minimum slope of 1 inch per foot for the first 10 feet away from the improvements in landscape areas. Care should be taken in planning of landscaping (if required) adjacent to the buildings to avoid features which would pond water adjacent to the foundations or stemwalls. Placement of plants which require irrigation systems or could result in fluctuations of the moisture content of the subgrade material should be avoided adjacent to site improvements. Irrigation systems should not be placed within 5 feet of the perimeter of the buildings and parking areas. Spray heads should be designed not to spray water on or immediately adjacent to the structures or site pavements. Roof drains should be designed to discharge at least 5 feet away from the structures and away from the pavement areas. GENERAL COMMENTS The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the data obtained from the soil borings performed at the indicated locations and from any other information discussed in this report. This report does not reflect any variations which may occur between borings or across the site. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction. If variations appear evident, it will be necessary to re-evaluate the recommendations of this report. Site specific explorations will be necessary for the proposed site buildings. It is recommended that the geotechnical engineer be retained to review the plans and specifications so that comments can be made regarding the interpretation and implementation of our geotechnical recommendations in the design and specifications. It is further recommended that the geotechnical engineer be retained for testing and observations during earthwork and foundation construction phases to help determine that the design requirements are fulfilled.

WATER LEVEL MEASUREMENT SYMBOLS: WL : Water Level WS : While Sampling WCI: Wet Cave in WD : While Drilling DCI: Dry Cave in BCR: Before Casing Removal AB : After Boring ACR: After Casting Removal Water levels indicated on the boring logs are the levels measured in the borings at the time indicated. In pervious soils, the indicated levels may reflect the location of ground water. In low permeability soils, the accurate determination of ground water levels is not possible with only short term observations. DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION Soil Classification is based on the Unified Soil Classification system and the ASTM Designations D‐2488. Coarse Grained Soils have move than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are described as: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are described as : clays, if they are plastic, and silts if they are slightly plastic or non‐plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse grained soils are defined on the basis of their relative in‐ place density and fine grained soils on the basis of their consistency. Example: Lean clay with sand, trace gravel, stiff (CL); silty sand, trace gravel, medium dense (SM).

(max@chasemerritt.com) Re: Geologic Hazards and Mineral Extraction Evaluation Report 800-Acre Mixed Use Development South of LCR 52 and West of Anheuser Busch Larimer County, Colorado EEC Project No. 1172058 Mr. Moss: Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC) personnel have completed the geologic hazards and mineral extraction evaluation you requested for the referenced project. That evaluation was completed by reviewing readily available data concerning soil and groundwater conditions for the site, principally through review of United States Geological Survey (USGS)/Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) and United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service (SCS) published information. A listing of the references reviewed as a part of the geologic hazard evaluation is included with this report. In addition, a site observation of the property was conducted on November 7, 2017. The approximate 800-acre development area is generally located within the east half of Section 33, and the west half of Section 33, Township 8 North, Range 68 West and the north half of Section 4 Township 7 North, Range 68 West of the 6th Prime Meridian in Larimer County, Colorado. It is our understanding that the approximate 800-acre development area is planned to be developed for residential, commercial, and industrial use, including utility and interior roadway infrastructure. The purpose of this evaluation is to identify potential geologic hazards and potential mineral resources which may conflict with proposed development. The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the acquired field data, review of the available literature and previous experience with similar geologic conditions in this area. A Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 – Geologic Report November 16, 2017 Page 2 Preliminary Subsurface Exploration conducted by our firm (EEC Project No. 1172058, dated October 2, 2017) was used to provide additional subsurface information. The site can generally be described as follows. Slopes on the site appear to be gentle to the south-southeast. The Number 8 Outlet Canal flows south and defines the property’s western border along the center of Section 32 and the Larimer and Weld Canal flows east and defines the southern border within the Northeast Quarter of Section 4. Larimer County Road 52 defines the northern property boundary and the Burlington Northern Santa Fa Railroad line defines the east boundary in Section 33. Overall site drainage appears to be from northwest to southeast and within shallow valleys. Past agricultural use likely altered the shape of the shallow valleys, however, the overall property drainage appears to reflect native conditions. No apparent areas of slope instability were observed during our site visit. The property currently appears to be agricultural land. Three (3) oil/gas wells are reported within the property boundary. RESEARCH Soil/Geologic Review The site geology presented in this report is based upon the acquired field data, review of the available literature and maps, and previous experience with similar geologic conditions in this area. The locations of geologic features are approximate and should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the methods used to make those measurements. The project site lies in the Colorado Piedmont Section of the Great Plains Physiographic Province. The sediments which compose the Colorado Piedmont were formed when uplift of the present day Rocky Mountains in Late Cretaceous-Eocene times (70-30 million years ago) produced a large increase of stream sediments resulting in deposition of sediments on the flanks next to the mountain belt and outlying areas. The Colorado Piedmont is an elongated trough in the Great Plains, adjacent to the Front Range of the Southern Rockies. The Colorado Piedmont was formed when uplift of the area in Miocene times (20-5 million years ago) produced an increase of stream erosion resulting in scouring next to the foothills and outlying areas. The Piedmont is bordered by the southern Rockies to the west, Great Plains escarpment to the northeast, and Palmer Divide to the south. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 – Geologic Report November 16, 2017 Page 3 Structurally, the site lies within the Denver Basin, a thick accumulation of Paleozoic and Mesozoic Era sediments involved with down-warping of the basin area and uplift of the adjacent highlands. Small anticlinal folds occur adjacent to the Front Range. It is our understanding that faulting has not taken place in the recent historic past in this area. The U.S Geological Survey describes the bedrock underlying the site consisting of the Upper Shale Member of the Pierre Shale (Upper Cretaceous) (Kpu). The Upper Shale Member of the Pierre Shale generally consists of claystone interbedded with siltstones and minor sandstones. The surficial soils at the project site are described as eolian deposits (Pleistocene and Holocene) and valley fill deposits (Pleistocene and Holocene). The eolian deposits are described as fine- grained sand, silt and clay and the valley fill deposits are described as arkosic gravel and sand deposit. The United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Survey (1) map describes the surficial soils mainly as sand and clay loam. The surficial soils are generally classified as exhibiting slight erosion potentials with low to high shrink/swell potential. In general, the near surface soils at this site appear to consist of moderately plastic clay soils with varying amounts of silt and sand to non-plastic to slightly plastic sand with varying amounts of silt and slay. The upper soil is overlying the Pierre Shale Formation (Upper Cretaceous), described as a claystone shale containing beds of sandstone and siltstone, as illustrated on the Geologic Map of the Lower Cache La Poudre River Basin, North-Central Colorado by Lloyd A. Hershey and Paul A. Schneider, Jr., 1972. Areas of potentially expansive clays and shallow bedrock strata may exist on the parcel. A thorough geotechnical engineering exploration should be conducted at each proposed building site to identify if these conditions exist. Landslide Landslides as defined by CGS form on a preferential weakness zone causing a ‘dry’ mass of rock to slide downhill under the pull of gravity. Slopes are very gentle on this parcel and no zones of preferential weakness were observed during our site visit or on aerial photos available on Google Earth. We therefore conclude that the risk from landslide to be negligible at this particular location under current conditions. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 – Geologic Report November 16, 2017 Page 4 Oil and Gas Potential A review of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) database (a Division of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources) and Oil and Gas Fields Map of Colorado: Colorado Geological Survey Map Series 26 (2) indicate three (3) oil/gas wells (abandoned) exists on the site. The site is situated approximately one mile southeast of the Fort Collins/Wellington Oil/Gas Field. Based on the available information, some of the sedimentary bedrock units located deep beneath this parcel may produce oil and gas. However, due to the manner in which oil/gas is recovered, development of the site should not greatly impact the extraction of this resource, as described, beneath the project site should future extraction be proposed. Coal Mines The Colorado Geological Survey classifies the area of the project site to be within a low potential area for coal formation and recovery. A review of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (3) was performed to locate nearby active and historical coal mining operations. No coal mines were listed in the vicinity of the project site. Based on the available information and geology of the area, we believe that no deposits of coal are located on the property which are of commercial grade or are an economical resource. Radiation A review of the available information from the Colorado Geologic Survey (a Division of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources) indicates that no deposits of uranium have been identified within the Pierre Shale Formation in Larimer County. Additionally, deposits of uranium oxide are known to exist within the Fox Hills Sandstone, although known deposits are several miles north and east of this site. Erosion in the geologic past has removed the Fox Hills Sandstone from this parcel. At this time, we anticipate no radiation hazards based on our understanding of these deposits and past land usage. However, we recommend that preliminary radon mitigation measures be incorporated in the construction at the site and that buildings be Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1172058 – Geologic Report November 16, 2017 Page 5 tested for radon after a normal operating routine has been established as other rock formations at depths beneath this parcel are capable of producing radon. Sand, Gravel and Quarry Aggregate Resource The Atlas of Sand, Gravel, and Quarry Aggregate Resources-Colorado Front Range Counties- Colorado Geological Survey Special Publication 5-B (4) was used to gain a general overview of the property. The CGS publication indicates that the parcel is within and/or near the Boxelder Creek Valley Deposits, an identified aggregate resource area. The nearest mining operations are sand and gravel pits located approximately one (1) mile south in the Terrace Deposits (T4) area of the Cache La Poudre River. No sand and gravel pits are identified within the Boxelder Creek Valley Deposits, within the immediate area. Significant sand and gravel deposits are expected and were encountered within our soil borings at depths below this property. The Atlas of Sand, Gravel, and Quarry Aggregate Resources Colorado Front Range Counties (1974) indicate that the deposits within the Boxelder Creek Valley are questionable due to the thickness of overburden and a high overburden to resource ratio. A mining consultant could provide guidance on the potential resource value, if any. CONCLUSION Based on the conditions observed and researched, there are no apparent significant geologic hazards on the property. Geotechnical subsurface explorations are recommended for each building site to identify shrink/swell potential in the soils and/or bedrock strata. Pre-mitigation radon control methods, such as sub-slab piping, as well as radon tests are recommended. Based on these conditions and our observations, it is our opinion that the previously described future development of this parcel is compatible with the geologic conditions at the site. The data presented herein were collected to help determine the feasibility of this project. Professional judgments on design alternatives and criteria are presented in this report. These are based on evaluation of technical information gathered, partly on our understanding of the characteristics of the development proposed, and partly on our experience with geologic conditions in the area. We do not guarantee the performance of the project in any respect, only that our geologic evaluation and opinions rendered were conducted in a manner consistent with Figure 1: 800 Acre Mixed-Use Development Larimer County, Colorado EEC Project #: 1172058 Date: November 2017 EARTH ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, LLC Figure 1A: 800 Acre Mixed-Use Development Larimer County, Colorado EEC Project #: 1172058 Date: November 2017 EARTH ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, LLC Figure 2: 800-Acre Mixed Use Development Fort Collins, Colorado EEC Project Number: 1172058 Date: November 2017 EARTH ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, LLC Approximate Project Site Figure 3: 800-Acre Mixed Use Development Fort Collins, Colorado EEC Project Number: 1172058 Date: November 2017 EARTH ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, LLC Approximate Project Site MAP SHOWING POTENTIAL SOURCES OF GRAVEL & CRUSHED ROCK AGGREGATE In the Boulder-Fort Collins-Greeley Area, Front Range Urban Corridor, Colorado by Colton, R.B., Fitch, H.R., 1974, Map I-855-D USGS PROJECT NO: 1172058B LOG OF BORING B-5 AUGUST 2018 SHEET 2 OF 2 WATER DEPTH START DATE 8/7/2018 WHILE DRILLING 29' 8/7/2018 AFTER DRILLING N/A SURFACE ELEV 8/8/2018 24.9' FINISH DATE A-LIMITS SWELL N/A FORT COLLINS, COLORADO PROJECT NO: 1172058B LOG OF BORING B-5 AUGUST 2018 SHEET 1 OF 2 WATER DEPTH START DATE 8/7/2018 WHILE DRILLING 29' SURFACE ELEV N/A 8/8/2018 24.9' FINISH DATE 8/7/2018 AFTER DRILLING N/A A-LIMITS SWELL PROJECT NO: 1172058B LOG OF BORING B-4 AUGUST 2018 SHEET 2 OF 2 WATER DEPTH START DATE 8/7/2018 WHILE DRILLING 29' 8/7/2018 AFTER DRILLING N/A SURFACE ELEV 8/8/2018 28.5' FINISH DATE A-LIMITS SWELL N/A FORT COLLINS, COLORADO PROJECT NO: 1172058B LOG OF BORING B-4 AUGUST 2018 SHEET 1 OF 2 WATER DEPTH START DATE 8/7/2018 WHILE DRILLING 29' SURFACE ELEV N/A 8/8/2018 28.5' FINISH DATE 8/7/2018 AFTER DRILLING N/A A-LIMITS SWELL PROJECT NO: 1172058B LOG OF BORING B-3 AUGUST 2018 SHEET 2 OF 2 WATER DEPTH START DATE 8/7/2018 WHILE DRILLING 24' 8/7/2018 AFTER DRILLING N/A SURFACE ELEV 8/8/2018 26.7' FINISH DATE A-LIMITS SWELL N/A FORT COLLINS, COLORADO PROJECT NO: 1172058B LOG OF BORING B-3 AUGUST 2018 SHEET 1 OF 2 WATER DEPTH START DATE 8/7/2018 WHILE DRILLING 24' SURFACE ELEV N/A 8/8/2018 26.7' FINISH DATE 8/7/2018 AFTER DRILLING N/A A-LIMITS SWELL PROJECT NO: 1172058B LOG OF BORING B-2 AUGUST 2018 SHEET 2 OF 2 WATER DEPTH START DATE 8/7/2018 WHILE DRILLING None 8/7/2018 AFTER DRILLING N/A SURFACE ELEV 24 HOUR N/A FINISH DATE A-LIMITS SWELL N/A FORT COLLINS, COLORADO PROJECT NO: 1172058B LOG OF BORING B-2 AUGUST 2018 SHEET 1 OF 2 WATER DEPTH START DATE 8/7/2018 WHILE DRILLING None SURFACE ELEV N/A 24 HOUR N/A FINISH DATE 8/7/2018 AFTER DRILLING N/A A-LIMITS SWELL PROJECT NO: 1172058B LOG OF BORING B-1 AUGUST 2018 SHEET 2 OF 2 WATER DEPTH START DATE 8/7/2018 WHILE DRILLING 28' 8/7/2018 AFTER DRILLING N/A SURFACE ELEV 24 HOUR N/A FINISH DATE A-LIMITS SWELL N/A FORT COLLINS, COLORADO PROJECT NO: 1172058B LOG OF BORING B-1 AUGUST 2018 SHEET 1 OF 2 WATER DEPTH START DATE 8/7/2018 WHILE DRILLING 28' SURFACE ELEV N/A 24 HOUR N/A FINISH DATE 8/7/2018 AFTER DRILLING N/A A-LIMITS SWELL Soil Classification Criteria for Assigning Group Symbols and Group Names Using Laboratory Tests Sands 50% or more coarse fraction passes No. 4 sieve Fine-Grained Soils 50% or more passes the No. 200 sieve <0.75 OL Gravels with Fines more than 12% fines Clean Sands Less than 5% fines Sands with Fines more than 12% fines Clean Gravels Less than 5% fines Gravels more than 50% of coarse fraction retained on No. 4 sieve Coarse - Grained Soils more than 50% retained on No. 200 sieve CGravels with 5 to 12% fines required dual symbols: Kif soil contains 15 to 29% plus No. 200, add "with sand" or "with gravel", whichever is predominant. <0.75 OH Primarily organic matter, dark in color, and organic odor ABased on the material passing the 3-in.
