Mr. Buesing:
Enclosed, herewith, are the results of the geotechnical subsurface exploration completed by Earth
Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC) for the referenced project. For this exploration, EEC
personnel completed thirty-three (33) soil borings to depths of approximately 15 to 25 feet below
present site grade at pre-selected locations within the footprint of the building. Seven (7)
additional borings were extended to approximate depths of 10 to 15 feet below present site
grades in proposed pavement, sanitary sewer easement, and detention pond areas. This
exploration was completed in general accordance with our proposal dated September 2, 2016.
In summary, the subsurface soils encountered beneath the surficial vegetation/topsoil layer
generally consisted of varying strata or sandy lean clay and clayey sand, which extended to the
bedrock formation below. Layered sandstone/siltstone/claystone bedrock was encountered in the
borings at depths of approximately 7½ to 17 feet below existing site grades and extended to the
maximum depths explored, approximately 15 to 25 feet. Groundwater was not encountered in
any of the test borings completed during our initial field exploration. The borings were
backfilled upon completion of the drilling operations; therefore, subsequent groundwater
measurements were not obtained.
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in the test borings, as well as the anticipated
maximum loading conditions provided to us by the project design team, we believe the proposed
3-story structure with one level of below grade parking, could be supported on footing
foundations bearing on a minimum zone of 3 feet of imported granular structural fill material
placed and compacted as described in the text of this report. An alternative foundation system

INTRODUCTION
The geotechnical subsurface exploration for the proposed multi-level, 3-story above grade with one
level of below grade parking, Village Cooperative of Fort Collins project planned for construction at
the northeast corner of Horsetooth and Stanford Roads in Fort Collins, Colorado, has been
completed. For this exploration, Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC) advanced thirty-three
(33) soil borings to depths of approximately 15 to 25 feet below present site grades at pre-selected
locations within the new building footprint. Five (5) other borings extending to depths of
approximately 10 feet were completed within proposed pavement areas with one (1) fifteen feet deep
boring (i.e. Boring B-29) completed in each of a sanitary sewer easement and in the proposed
retention/detention area (i.e. Boring B-40). This exploration was completed in general accordance
with our proposal dated September 2, 2016.
We understand the proposed Village Cooperative building will include 3-stories above grade and
one level of below grade parking. The building footprint will occupy much of the site. The
basement floor elevation will be at 5006.66 with a first floor elevation of 5016.66; site grades
generally range from approximately 5004 to 5014. Foundation loads for the new structure are
estimated to be moderate to high with maximum continuous wall loads of approximately 7 kips per
linear foot (KLF) and maximum column loads on the order of 250 kips. Floor loads are expected to
be light to moderate.
The purpose of this report is to describe the subsurface conditions encountered in the test borings,
analyze and evaluate the test data and provide geotechnical recommendations concerning design and
construction of foundations and support of floor slabs for the new building and development of site
pavements.

EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES
The boring locations were established in the field by representatives from EEC by pacing and
estimating angles from identifiable site features. Those approximate boring locations are indicated
on the attached boring location diagram. The locations of the borings 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 included with this report.
The test borings were completed using a truck mounted, CME-75 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 advanced
into the ground with a 140-pound hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows
required to advance the split barrel and California barrel 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 intact samples are obtained in removable brass liners. All samples obtained in the field
were sealed and returned to our laboratory for further examination, classification, and testing.
Laboratory moisture content tests were completed on each of the recovered samples. Atterberg
Limits and washed sieve analysis tests were completed on selected samples to evaluate the quantity
and plasticity of fines in the subgrade samples. Swell/consolidation tests were completed on
selected samples to evaluate the potential for the subgrade materials to change volume with variation
in moisture and load. Soluble sulfate tests were completed on selected samples to evaluate potential
adverse reactions to site-cast concrete. Results of the outlined tests are indicated on the attached
boring logs and summary sheets.
As part of the testing program, all samples were examined in the laboratory by an engineer and
classified in general accordance with the attached General Notes and the Unified Soil Classification
System, based on the soil’s texture and plasticity. The estimated group symbol for the Unified Soil
Classification System is indicated 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 proposed Village Cooperative will be located at the northeast corner of Horsetooth Road and
Stanford Road on a vacant in-fill parcel. The development lot is presently surfaced with sparse
vegetation, predominately grasses and weeds. Site drainage is to the southwest with approximately
10 feet of fill across the site. Evidence of prior building construction was not observed on the site by
EEC field personnel.
Based on results of the field borings and laboratory testing, subsurface conditions can be generalized
as follows. The subsurface soils encountered beneath surficial topsoil/vegetation generally consisted
of varying strata of sandy lean clay and clayey fine sand. The cohesive soils were medium stiff to
stiff and the granular soils were loose to medium dense. The overburden soils generally exhibited
low to moderate expansive characteristics with one (1) near surface sample showing moderate to
high expansive potential.
Layered claystone/siltstone bedrock was encountered beneath the overburden soils at depths of
approximately 7½ to 17 feet below existing site grades and extended to the maximum depths
explored, approximately 15 to 25 feet. The bedrock formation was weathered nearer surface;
however, became less weathered and more competent with depth. The bedrock exhibited moderate
to high swell potential.
The stratification boundaries indicated on the boring logs represent the approximate locations of
changes in soil and bedrock types. In-situ, the transition of materials may be gradual and indistinct.
GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
Observations were made while drilling and after completion of the borings to detect the presence and
depth to hydrostatic groundwater. At the time of drilling, no free water was observed within the test
borings. The borings were backfilled upon completion of the drilling operations; subsequent
groundwater measurements were not obtained.

Fluctuations in groundwater levels can occur over time depending on variations in hydrologic
conditions, irrigation demands on and/or adjacent to the site and other conditions not apparent at the
time of this report. Longer term monitoring of water levels in cased wells, which are sealed from the
influence of surface water would be required to more accurately evaluate fluctuations in groundwater
levels at the site. We have typically noted deepest groundwater levels in late winter and shallowest
groundwater levels in mid to late summer. Zones of perched and/or trapped water can be encountered
at times throughout the year in more permeable zones in the subgrade soils and perched water is
commonly observed in subgrade soils immediately above lower permeability bedrock.
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
General Considerations
The overburden soils on this site include approximately 7 to 17 feet of varying sandy lean
clay/clayey sand strata. Loose zones were observed in the clayey sand materials and the lean clay
showed zones of moderately expansive materials. In one shallow pavement sample, a swell of 14%
was measured with a dead load of 150 psf.
The looser subgrade soils would be of concern for support of footing foundations; however, those
soils would generally be suitable for support of floor slabs and pavements. The zones of moderately
expansive subgrade soils would be a concern for support of lightly loaded floor slabs and pavement;
however, the moderately expansive soils are generally sporadic at the parking garage floor level.
Recommendations are provided in this report to reduce the effects of loose/soft subgrades and
moderately expansive subgrades. Potential for movement will not be eliminated but any post-
construction movement will be reduced as outlined in this report. Further reduction in movement
potential can be accomplished with more extensive approaches.

Site Preparation
Although final site grades were not available at the time of our field exploration; information was
provided to us at the time of this report. Based on our understanding of the proposed development,
we anticipate up to 5 feet (+/-) of fill material may be necessary outside of the building area to
achieve final design grades in the improvement areas. After stripping, completing all cuts, and
removing all unacceptable materials/soils, and prior to placement of any fill or site improvements,
we recommend the exposed soils be scarified to a minimum depth of 9-inches, adjusted in moisture
content to within ±2% of standard Proctor optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95%
of the material's standard Proctor maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM
Specification D698.
Fill soils required for developing the site subgrades, after the initial zone has been prepared or
stabilized where necessary, should consist of approved, low-volume-change materials, which are
free from organic matter and debris. It is our opinion the on-site cohesive sandy clay/clayey sand
soils could be used as general site fill material, provided adequate moisture treatment and
compaction procedures are followed.
We recommend all fill materials and foundation wall backfill materials, be placed in loose lifts not to
exceed 9 inches thick and adjusted in moisture content, +/- 2% for cohesive soils and +/- 3% for
cohesionless soils of optimum moisture content, and compacted to at least 95 % of the materials
maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM Specification D698, the standard
Proctor procedure. If the site’s sandy cohesive soils are used as fill material, care will be needed to
maintain the recommended moisture content prior to and during construction of overlying
improvements. Settlement of the backfill soils should be anticipated with total settlement estimated
on the order of 1% of the backfill height.
Care should be exercised after preparation of the subgrades to avoid disturbing the subgrade
materials. Positive drainage should be developed away from the structure to avoid wetting of
subgrade materials. Subgrade materials becoming wet subsequent to construction of the site
structure can result in unacceptable performance.

Foundation Systems – General Considerations
The site appears suitable for the proposed construction based on the results of our field exploration and
our understanding of the proposed development plans. The following foundation systems were
evaluated for use on the site for the proposed building.
Footing foundations on a zone of over excavation/structural backfill.
Straight shaft drilled piers bearing into the underlying bedrock formation.
Other alternative foundation systems could be considered and we would be pleased to provide
additional alternatives upon request.
Footing Foundations on Structural Fill
We recommend at least 3-feet of the building subgrade below foundation bearing level be over-
excavated and replaced with an approved imported granular structural fill material. The granular
structural fill material should be similar to CDOT Class 5, 6 or 7 base course material with sufficient
fines to prevent ponding of water in the fill. The over excavation should extend 8 inches beyond the
edges of the structure for each 12 inches of over excavation depth below foundation bearing. The
approved fill materials should be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9-inches thick and adjusted in
moisture content, +/- 3% of optimum moisture content for granular materials, and compacted to at least
98% of the materials maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM Specification D-
698, the standard Proctor procedure.
Conventional footing foundations could be supported on the imported structural backfill material
placed and compacted as outlined above. For design of footing foundations bearing on the structural
fill compacted to at least 98% of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM Specification D698),
we recommend using a net allowable total load soil bearing pressure not to exceed 2,500 psf. The net
bearing pressure refers to the pressure at foundation bearing level in excess of the minimum
surrounding overburden pressure. Total load should include full dead and live loads. We estimate the
long-term settlement of footing foundations designed and constructed as outlined above would be less
than 1-inch.
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1162088
October 21, 2016
Page 7
Exterior foundations and foundations in unheated areas should be located at least 30-inches below
adjacent exterior grade to provide frost protection. We recommend formed continuous footings have a
minimum width of 16-inches and isolated column foundations have a minimum width of 30-inches.
No unusual problems are anticipated in completing the excavations required for construction of the
footing foundations. Care should be taken during construction to thoroughly evaluate the bearing soils
prior to and during the fill placement to verify that the footing foundations are supported on suitable
strength materials.
Drilled Piers/Caissons Foundations
Based on the subgrade conditions observed in the test borings and on the anticipated foundation loads,
we believe the foundation loads could be supported on a grade beam and straight shaft drilled
pier/caisson foundation system extending into the underlying bedrock formation.
For axial compression loads, the drilled piers could be designed using a maximum end bearing pressure
of 25,000 pounds per square foot (psf), along with a skin-friction of 2,500 psf for the portion of the pier
extended into the underlying firm and/or harder bedrock formation. The piers should be designed with
a minimum dead load of 5,000 psf. Straight shaft piers should be drilled a minimum of 15 feet into
competent or harder bedrock with minimum pier length of at least 25 feet. Lower values may be
appropriate for pier “groupings” depending on the pier diameters and spacing. Pile groups should be
evaluated individually.
Required pier penetration should be balanced against potential uplift forces due to expansion of the
subsoils and bedrock on the site. For design purposes, the uplift force on each pier can be determined
on the basis of the following equation:
Up = 55 x D
Where: Up = the uplift force in kips, and
D = the pier diameter in feet
Uplift forces on piers should be resisted by a combination of dead-load and pier penetration below a
depth of about 15-feet and into the bearing strata.

EEC Project No. 1162088

To satisfy forces in the horizontal direction, piers may be designed for lateral loads using a modulus of
50 tons per cubic foot (tcf) for the portion of the pier in native overburden soils, and 400 tcf in bedrock
for a pier diameter of 12 inches. The coefficient of subgrade reaction for varying pier diameters is as
follows:
Pier Diameter (inches) Coefficient of Subgrade Reaction (tons/ft3)
Site Soils Bedrock
18 33 267
24 25 200
30 20 160
36 17 133
When the lateral capacity of drilled piers is evaluated by the L-Pile (COM 624) computer program, we
recommend that internally generated load-deformation (P-Y) curves be used. The following
parameters may be used for the design of laterally loaded piers, using the L-Pile (COM 624) computer
program:
Parameters On-Site Overburden Soils Bedrock
Unit Weight of Soil (pcf) 120(1)
125(1)
Cohesion (psf) 200 5000
Angle of Internal Friction () (degrees) 25 20
Strain Corresponding to ½ Max. Principal Stress Difference 50 0.02 0.015
*Notes: 1) Reduce by 62.4 pcf below the water table
To reduce potential uplift forces on piers, use of long grade beam spans to increase individual pier
loading, and small diameter piers are recommended. For this project, use of 18 to 24-inch diameter
piers could be considered. A minimum 4-inch void space should be provided beneath grade beams
between piers. The void material should be of suitable strength to support the weight of fresh concrete
used in grade beam construction and to avoid collapse when foundation backfill is placed.
Drilling caissons to design depth should be possible with conventional heavy-duty single flight power
augers equipped with rock teeth on the majority of the site. However, areas of well-cemented
sandstone bedrock lenses may be encountered throughout the site at various depths where specialized
drilling equipment and/or rock excavating equipment may be required. Excavation penetrating the
well-cemented sandstone bedrock may require the use of specialized heavy-duty equipment, together

with rock augers and/or core barrels. Consideration should be given to obtaining a unit price for
difficult caisson excavation in the contract documents for the project.
We do not expect temporary casing will be required to maintain open boreholes although concrete
should be placed as soon as practical after drilling each shaft to reduce the potential for sloughing of
sidewalls. Groundwater encountered should be removed from each pier hole prior to concrete
placement. Pier concrete should be placed immediately after completion of drilling and cleaning.
A maximum 6-inch depth of groundwater is acceptable in each pier prior to concrete placement. If pier
concrete cannot be placed in dry conditions, a tremie should be used for concrete placement. Due to
potential sloughing and raveling, foundation concrete quantities may exceed calculated geometric
volumes. Pier concrete with slump in the range of 6 to 8 inches is recommended.
Foundation excavations should be observed by the geotechnical engineer. A representative of the
geotechnical engineer should inspect the bearing surface and pier configuration. If the soil conditions
encountered differ from those presented in this report, supplemental recommendations may be
required.
We estimate the long-term settlement of drilled pier foundations designed and constructed as
outlined above would be less than 1-inch.
Seismic Site Classification
The site soil conditions consist of approximately 7 to 17 feet of overburden soils overlying
moderately hard to hard bedrock. For those site conditions, the International Building Code
indicates a Seismic Site Classification of C.
Lateral Earth Pressures
The new building will be constructed over one level of below grade parking. The below grade walls
will be subjected to unbalanced lateral earth pressures. Any site retaining walls or similar structures
would also be subject to lateral soil forces. Passive lateral earth pressures may help resist the driving
forces for retaining wall or other similar site structures.
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1162088
October 21, 2016
Page 10
Active lateral earth pressures could be used for design of structures where some movement of the
structure is anticipated, such as retaining walls. The total deflection of structures for design with
active earth pressure is estimated to be on the order of one half of one percent of the height of the
down slope side of the structure. We recommend at-rest pressures be used for design of structures
where rotation of the walls is restrained, including the below grade parking structure walls. Passive
pressures and friction between the footing and bearing soils could be used for design of resistance to
movement of retaining walls.
Coefficient values for backfill with anticipated types of soils for calculation of active, at rest and
passive earth pressures are provided in the table below. Equivalent fluid pressure is equal to the
coefficient times the appropriate soil unit weight. Those coefficient values are based on horizontal
backfill with backfill soils consisting of essentially granular materials with a friction angle of a 30
degrees or low volume change cohesive soils. For the at-rest and active earth pressures, slopes down
and away from the structure would result in reduced driving forces with slopes up and away from the
structures resulting in greater forces on the walls. The passive resistance would be reduced with
slopes away from the wall. The top 30-inches of soil on the passive resistance side of walls could be
used as a surcharge load; however, it should not be used as a part of the passive resistance value.
Frictional resistance is equal to the tangent of the friction angle times the normal force.
Soil Type Low Plasticity Essential Cohesive
Wet Unit Weight 120
Saturated Unit Weight 135
Friction Angle () – (assumed) 25°
Active Pressure Coefficient 0.40
At-rest Pressure Coefficient 0.58
Passive Pressure Coefficient 2.46
Surcharge loads or point loads placed in the backfill can also create additional loads on below grade
walls. Those situations should be designed on an individual basis.
The outlined values do not include factors of safety nor allowances for hydrostatic loads and are
based on assumed friction angles, which should be verified after potential material sources have
been identified.
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1162088
October 21, 2016
Page 11
Care should be taken to develop appropriate drainage systems behind below grade walls to eliminate
potential for hydrostatic loads developing on the walls. Those systems should be designed as
subsequently outlined in this report. Where necessary, appropriate hydrostatic load values should be
used for design.
Parking Garage Slab-On-Grade
If structural fill is placed to support the new building on footing foundations, it is our opinion the
building parking level floor slab could be directly supported by the placed structural fill soils. A
modulus of subgrade reaction R-value of 200 pci could be used for design of the garage slab supported
on granular structural fill. A granular leveling course could be used, if needed. Under slab vapor
barrier should be used at the architect’s discretion.
If the building is supported on drilled pier foundations, we recommend at least 2 feet of subgrade
beneath the garage floors be over excavated and replaced as moisture conditioned/compacted fill
materials. A k-value of 100 pci should be used for the pavement design with the reconditioned site soil
subgrades. The subgrades should be prepared as subsequently outlined for the site pavement
subgrades.
Additional parking garage slab design and construction recommendations are as follows:
Positive separations and/or isolation joints should be provided between slabs and all
foundations, columns or utility lines to allow independent movement.
Control joints should be provided in slabs to control the location and extent of
cracking.
Interior trench backfill placed beneath slabs should be compacted in a similar manner
as previously described for imported structural fill material.
The concrete slabs should not be constructed on frozen subgrade.
Other design and construction considerations, as outlined in the ACI Design Manual,
Section 302.1R are recommended.

Perimeter Drainage Systems
We understand the below grade parking will extend to a depth of up to approximately 6 feet below
present surface grades. The subsurface soils encountered in the test borings completed for this
project included approximately layered sandy lean clay/clayey sand underlain by weathered bedrock.
With potential infiltration of surface water adjacent to the building, we anticipate water could
accumulate next to the below grade walls and result in hydrostatic loading on those walls and,
potentially, infiltration of the surface water into the below grade areas. We suggest a perimeter drain
system be installed to remove surface infiltration water from the area adjacent to the below grade
walls and reduce the likelihood of development of hydrostatic loads on the walls and/or water
infiltration into the below grade area.
In general, a perimeter drain system would consist of perforated metal or plastic pipe placed at the
approximate bottom of basement wall elevation and sloped to drain to a sump area where
accumulated water can be removed without reverse flow into the system. The drain line should be
surrounded by at least 6 inches of free draining granular fill with either the drain line or granular fill
wrapped in an appropriate filter fabric to prevent the intrusions of fines in the system. Backfill above
the drain line should consist of approved, low volume change material.
Installation of the drain systems will reduce, not eliminate, the potential for infiltration of surface
and/or groundwater into the below grade areas and development of hydrostatic loads on structure
components. Pumps and other components require periodic inspections and maintenance to
maintain the system in functioning condition.
Water Soluble Sulfates (SO4)

our subsurface exploration are provided in the table below.

Based on the results as presented in the table above, ACI 318, Section 4.2 indicates the site
overburden soils and/or bedrock generally have a low risk of sulfate attack on Portland cement
concrete. Therefore, Class 0 could be used for concrete on and below site grade within the
overburden soils and/or bedrock. 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.

Class 3 2.01 of greater 0.45 Class 3
Pavement Subgrade
The anticipated subgrade soils for the site pavements show zones of moderately expansive lean clay.
We recommend at least 2 feet of material be removed from beneath the pavement top of subgrade
and that material be processed to increase moisture content and replaced as controlled fill material.
After undercutting and prior to fill placement, the exposed subgrade should be scarified to a depth of
at least 9-inches, adjusted in moisture to +2% of optimum and compacted to at least 95% of standard
Proctor maximum dry density. The replaced site soils should be placed in maximum 9-inch thick
loos lifts and adjusted in moisture and compacted as recommended for the scarified subgrades.
Proofrolling and recompacting the subgrade is recommended immediately prior to placement of the
pavements. Soft or weak areas delineated by the proofrolling operations should be undercut or
stabilized in-place to achieve the appropriate subgrade support. Based on the subsurface conditions
encountered at the site and the results of the laboratory testing, it is recommended the on-site private
drives and parking areas be designed using an R-value of 10.
Pumping conditions could develop within a moisture treatment scarification/compactions process of
on-site cohesive soils. Subgrade stabilization may be needed to develop a stable subgrade for paving.
If needed, stabilization could include incorporating at least 12 percent (by weight) Class C fly ash into
the upper 12 inches of subgrade.

Eliminating the risk of movement within the proposed pavement section may not be feasible due to the
characteristics of the subsurface materials; but it may be possible to further reduce the risk of
movement if more extensive subgrade stabilization measures are used during construction. We would
be pleased to discuss other construction alternatives with you upon request.
Pavement design methods are intended to provide structural sections with adequate thickness over a
particular subgrade such that wheel loads are reduced to a level the subgrade can support. The
support characteristics of the subgrade for pavement design do not account for shrink/swell
movements of an expansive clay subgrade or consolidation of a wetted subgrade. Thus, the
pavement may be adequate from a structural standpoint, yet still experience cracking and
deformation due to shrink/swell related movement of the subgrade. It is, therefore, important to
minimize moisture changes in the subgrade to reduce shrink/swell movements.
Pavements
We expect the site pavements will include areas designated for low volume automobile
traffic/parking and areas of heavier/higher volume traffic. For heavier traffic areas, we are using an
assumed equivalent daily load axle (EDLA) rating of 15 and in automobile/parking areas we are
using an EDLA of 5.
Recommended pavement sections are provided below in Table VI. If selected, Portland cement
concrete should be an exterior pavement design mix with a minimum 28-day compressive strength
of 4,000 psi and should be air entrained. Hot bituminous pavement should consist of S-75 or SX-75
with performance graded PG 58-28 binder, compacted to be within the range of 92 to 96% of
maximum theoretical specific gravity (Rice). In areas subject to heavier truck loads or truck turning
movements, (including trash truck routes and load/unload areas) consideration should be given to
use of Portland cement concrete for the pavements. The recommended pavement sections are
minimums and periodic maintenance should be expected.

expansion/contraction and isolation. The location and extent of joints should be based upon the final
pavement geometry. Sawed joints should be cut in accordance with ACPA or ACI recommendations.
All joints should be sealed to prevent entry of foreign material and dowelled or tied where necessary
and appropriate for load transfer.
Since the cohesive soils on the site have some shrink/swell potential, pavements could crack in the
future primarily because of the volume change of the soils when subjected to an increase in moisture
content to the subgrade. The cracking, while not desirable, does not necessarily constitute structural
failure of the pavement.
The collection and diversion of surface drainage away from paved areas is critical to the satisfactory
performance of the pavement. Drainage design should provide for the removal of water from paved
areas in order to reduce the potential for wetting of the subgrade soils.
Long-term pavement performance will be dependent upon several factors, including maintaining
subgrade moisture levels and providing for preventive maintenance. The following

The subgrade and the pavement surface should be adequately sloped to promote proper surface
drainage.
Install pavement drainage surrounding areas anticipated for frequent wetting (e.g. garden centers,
landscaped islands)
Install joint sealant and seal cracks immediately.
Seal all landscaped areas in, or adjacent to pavements to minimize or prevent moisture migration
to subgrade soils.
Place compacted, low permeability backfill against the exterior side of curb and gutter; and place
curb, gutter, and/or sidewalk directly on approved proof rolled subgrade soils.
Preventive maintenance should be planned and provided for an on-going pavement management
program. Preventive maintenance activities are intended to slow the rate of pavement deterioration and
to preserve the pavement investment. Preventive maintenance consists of both localized maintenance
(e.g. crack and joint sealing and patching) and global maintenance (e.g. surface sealing). Preventive
maintenance is usually the first priority when implementing a planned pavement maintenance program
and provides the highest return on investment for pavements. Prior to implementing any maintenance,
additional engineering observation is recommended to determine the type and extent of preventive
maintenance.
Site grading is generally accomplished early in the construction phase. However, as construction
proceeds, the subgrade may be disturbed due to utility excavations, construction traffic, desiccation, or
rainfall. As a result, the pavement subgrade may not be suitable for pavement construction and
corrective action will be required. The subgrade should be carefully evaluated at the time of pavement
construction for signs of disturbance, such as but not limited to drying, or excessive rutting. If
disturbance has occurred, pavement subgrade areas should be reworked, moisture conditioned, and
properly compacted to the recommendations in this report immediately prior to paving.
Note that if during or after placement of the stabilization or initial lift of pavement, the area is observed
to be yielding under vehicle traffic or construction equipment, it is recommended that EEC be
contacted for additional alternative methods of stabilization, or a change in the pavement section.

Other Considerations
Positive drainage should be developed away from the structure with a minimum slope of 1-inch per
foot for the first 10-feet away from the improvements in landscape areas. Flatter slopes could be
used in hardscapes areas although positive drainage should be maintained. Care should be taken in
planning of landscaping adjacent to the building and parking and drive areas to avoid features which
would pond water adjacent to the pavement, 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.
Excavations into the on-site soils may encounter a variety of conditions. Excavations into the on-
site clays can be expected to stand on relatively steep temporary slopes during construction.
However, if excavations extend into the underlying granular strata, caving soils may be encountered.
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.
Depending upon the depth of any lower level construction, a shoring plan will be necessary to
protect the adjacent sidewall slopes. The project design team should use the subsurface information
provided herein to properly design a mechanism for shoring protection. EEC is available to provide
supplemental design criteria or details such as but not limited to secant piles or piers, soldier piers,
or a tie-back/bracing concept.
Retention Pond
Soil boring B-40 was completed at the approximate location of the site retention pond. After 24
hours of presoaking, a field percolation test was completed in the borehole. A percolation rate of 18
min/inch was determined in the field testing.

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.
It is recommended that the geotechnical engineer be retained to review the plans and specifications
so 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 phases to help determine that the
design requirements are fulfilled. Site-specific explorations should be completed to develop site-
specific recommendations for each of the site buildings.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use for Real Estate Equities Architecture, LLC for
specific application to the project discussed and has been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted geotechnical engineering practices. No warranty, express or implied, is made. In the event
that any changes in the nature, design, or location of the project as outlined in this report are
planned, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid
unless the changes are reviewed and the conclusions of this report are modified or verified in writing
by the geotechnical engineer.

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).
