Box 483 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Attn: Mr. Michael “Bo” Brown (Bo.Brown@colostate.edu) Re: Subsurface Exploration Report Sunshine House No. 213 – South Shields Street Northeast Corner of Shields Street and Lake Street Fort Collins, Colorado EEC Project No. 1182044 Mr. Brown: Enclosed, herewith, are the results of the geotechnical subsurface exploration you requested for the proposed Sunshine House No. 213 development project planned for construction at the northeast corner of Shields Street and Lake Street in Fort Collins, Colorado. This subsurface exploration was completed in general accordance with our proposal dated May 17, 2018. In summary, vegetation and a thin mantle of topsoil and/or surficial gravel was encountered at the surface of the nine (9) borings completed for this study. Underlying the surficial vegetation and topsoil and/or gravel, in general, consisted of sandy lean clay to clayey sand, a portion of which was identified as fill material in borings B-2, B-4, B-5, B-7, B-8 and B-9 which extended to the underlying apparent native subsoils at depths of approximately 1 to 5 feet below existing site grades. Underlying the apparent fill materials or surficial vegetation and topsoil and/or gravel was apparent native sandy lean clay to clayey sand which extended to the depths explored in borings B-1 and B-3 through B-8, approximately 5 to 15 feet below existing site grades or to the underling silty sand and gravel encountered in boring B-2 at a depth of approximately 18 feet below existing site grade. The silty sand and gravel extended to the depth explored in boring B-2, approximately 25 feet below existing site grade. Bedrock was not encountered in any of the borings to the depths explored, approximately 5 to 25 feet. The site overburden sandy lean clay to clayey sand exhibited generally medium stiff to very stiff / medium dense with occasional loose zones, low to moderate plasticity, low swell potential at current moisture and density conditions, and low to moderate bearing capacity characteristics. The underlying SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION REPORT SUNSHINE HOUSE NO. 213 – SOUTH SHIELDS STREET NORTHEAST CORNER OF SHIELDS STREET AND LAKE STREET FORT COLLINS, COLORADO EEC PROJECT NO. 1182044 June 18, 2018 INTRODUCTION The subsurface exploration for the proposed Sunshine House No. 213 project planned for construction at the 1400 Block of South Shields Street on the northeast corner of Shields Street and Lake Street in Fort Collins, Colorado, has been completed. A total of eight (8) borings were advanced on the development property to obtain information on existing subsurface conditions. Two (2) borings were extended to depths of approximately 15 to 25 feet below present site grades at the approximate new building location (borings B-1 and B-2), three (3) borings were extended to depths of approximately 5 to 15 feet below present site grades within the approximate pavement areas (borings B-3, B-4 and B-9), and four (4) borings were extended to depths of approximately 5 to 15 feet below present site grades within the proposed detention pond areas (borings B-5, B-6, B-7 and B-8) for the referenced project. Adjacent to borings B-5 and B-6) two (2) shallow soil percolation borings, one (1) at each location, were also advanced. Individual borings logs and a boring location diagram indicating the approximate boring locations and rough site plan layout are provided with this report. This exploration was completed in general accordance with our proposal dated May 17, 2018. We understand the referenced project will include a new Sunshine House No. 213 building, two (2) detention ponds, and associated on-site pavement improvements. We assume the building will be a single or 2-story structure having slab-on-grade construction, with anticipated maximum wall and column loads on the order of 1 to 4 klf and 25 to 150 kips respectively. Loads for the slab-on-grade floor are expected to be light to moderate. We understand drive and parking areas will be constructed adjacent to the proposed building. We anticipate portions of the pavement areas will be used by automobiles and light trucks and portions of the pavements may be subject to occasional heavily loaded truck traffic. It is our understanding small cuts and fills will be required to develop finished grade for the site. The purpose of this report is to describe the subsurface conditions encountered in the borings, analyze and evaluate the test data and provide geotechnical recommendations concerning design and construction of the foundations, support of floor slabs, and exterior flatwork and pavements. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 2 EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES The boring locations were selected and established in the field by representatives of Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC). Field locations were determined by pacing and estimating angles from identifiable site features. 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 borings were performed using 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 techniques in general accordance with ASTM Specifications D1586 and D3550, respectively. In addition, in-situ infiltration/soil percolation characteristics were performed at the two (2) soil percolation boring locations, (B-5 and B-6). In the split-barrel and California barrel sampling techniques, 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 materials and, to a lesser degree of accuracy, the consistency of cohesive soils and hardness of weathered bedrock. In the California barrel sampling procedure, samples of the subsurface soils 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 performed on each of the recovered samples. In addition, the unconfined strength of appropriate samples was estimated using a calibrated hand penetrometer. Washed sieve analysis and Atterberg limits tests were completed on selected samples to evaluate the quantity and plasticity of the fines in the subgrade soils. Swell/consolidation tests were completed on selected samples to evaluate the potential for subgrade materials to change volume with variation in moisture content and load. Selected samples at varying depths were also tested to determine quantities of water soluble sulfates to evaluate the potential for sulfate attack on site concrete. Results of the outlined tests are indicated herein and/or 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 based on the Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 3 texture and plasticity of the soil. The estimated group symbol for the Unified Soil Classification System is indicated on the boring logs. A brief description of the Unified Soil Classification System is included with this report. SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The existing site is generally an undeveloped lot with occasional vegetation and a thin mantle of top- soil and/or surficial gravel located in the 1400 block of South Shields Street at the northeast corner of Shields Street and Lake Street. A rough site plan/building layout rendering is included with this report which indicates previously existing trees and buildings. It is our understanding the previously existing buildings and trees were removed and backfilled in an uncontrolled manner. The proposed development property was relatively flat at the time of our exploration. An EEC field engineer was on site during drilling to evaluate the subsurface conditions encountered and direct the drilling activities. Field logs prepared by EEC site personnel were based on visual and tactual observation of disturbed samples and auger cuttings. The final boring logs included with this report may contain modifications to the field logs based on the results of laboratory testing and evaluation. Based on the results of the field borings and laboratory evaluation, subsurface conditions can be generalized as follows. Vegetation and a thin mantle of topsoil and/or gravel was encountered at the surface of the borings. Underlying the vegetation and topsoil and/or gravel, in general, was sandy lean clay to clayey sand with portions consisting of fill materials potentially associated with removal and backfill of the previously existing buildings and trees. Apparent fill materials were encountered in borings B-2, B-4, B-5, B-7, B- 8, and B-9 which extended to depths of approximately 1 to 5 feet below existing site grades. Underlying the apparent fill material in borings B-2, B-4, B-5, B-7, B-8 and B-9 and underlying the surficial vegetation and topsoil and/or gravel, in general, was sandy lean clay to clayey sand and extended to the depths explored in all of the borings except for boring B-2, approximately 5 to 15 feet below existing site grades. In boring B-2, the sandy lean clay to clayey sand extended to an approximate depth of 18 feet below existing site grade and was underlain by silty sand and gravel which extended to the depth explored, approximately 25 feet. Bedrock was not encountered in any of the borings to the depths explored. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 4 The sandy lean clay to clayey sand, in general, was medium stiff to very stiff / medium dense with occasional loose zones, exhibited low to moderate plasticity, low swell potential at current moisture and density conditions, and low to moderate bearing capacity characteristics. The silty sand and gravel, exhibited nil to low plasticity, and moderate bearing capacity characteristics. The stratification boundaries indicated on the boring logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil and rock 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. Groundwater was only observed in boring B-1 at an approximate depth of 17 feet below existing site grade. Although free water was not observed in the remaining borings, very moist/saturated conditions were noted near the bottom of borings B-1, B-5 and B-6 which were extended to approximate depths of 15 feet below existing site grades. Except for borings B-5 and B-6, the borings were backfilled upon completion of the drilling operations; therefore, subsequent groundwater measurements were not performed. On the following day (May 31, 2018), EEC personnel checked for free water in borings B-5 and B-6, B-5 had caved in at approximately 12 feet below existing grade and was dry and boring B-6 was dry. Those locations were backfilled after the follow up water level check. Fluctuations in groundwater levels can occur over time depending on variations in hydrologic conditions 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 over time. We have typically noted deepest groundwater levels in late winter and shallowest groundwater levels in mid to late summer. ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Swell – Consolidation Test Results The swell-consolidation test is performed to evaluate the swell or collapse potential of soils to help determine foundation, floor slab and pavement design criteria. In this test, samples obtained directly from the California sampler are placed in a laboratory apparatus and inundated with water under a Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 5 predetermined load. The swell-index is the resulting amount of swell or collapse under the initial load expressed as a percent of the sample’s initial thickness. After the initial swell/consolidation period, additional incremental loads are applied to evaluate the swell pressure and/or consolidation response. For this analysis, we conducted three (3) swell-consolidation tests. The (+) test result indicates the material’s swell potential while the (-) test result indicates the material’s slight collapse potential when inundated with water. The following table summarizes the swell-consolidation laboratory test results TABLE I – Swell/Consolidation Test Results Boring No. Depth, ft.

Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 6 General Considerations As previously discussed, the proposed development site had various trees and structures which were reportedly removed and backfilled in an uncontrolled manner. A number of the borings advanced were in an effort to delineate the depths of uncontrolled fill material associated with the previously razed existing buildings, however, the actual extents/depths could vary from what was identified during this exploration. EEC strongly recommends additional pot hole/exploratory excavations prior to developing site grades and/or commencing construction to better delineate potential uncontrolled fill or remaining improvements associated with the previously existing buildings/trees potentially not identified in this subsurface exploration. Site Preparation Prior to placement of any fill and/or improvements, we recommend any existing topsoil/vegetation, undocumented fill, trees and associated roots, and any unsuitable materials be removed from the site improvement areas. In the areas of previously demolished buildings any potentially remaining building elements should be removed. Close evaluation should be conducted on the in-situ materials across the site to identify any areas of unsuitable and/or excessively dry and stiff or soft, and loose subsoils which would need to be addressed prior to the building and pavement/parking construction. The over excavated areas should extend laterally in all directions beyond the edges of the foundations/pavements a minimum 8 inches for every 12 inches of over excavated depth. After removal of all topsoil/vegetation within the planned development areas, as well as removal of unacceptable or unsuitable subsoils, and potentially remaining roots/previous site improvements, and prior to placement of fill and/or site improvements, the exposed soils should be scarified to a depth of 9 inches, adjusted to within ±2% of optimum moisture content for essentially cohesive materials or to a workable moisture content for essentially granular materials and compacted to at least 95% of the material's standard Proctor maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM Specification D698. Fill materials used to replace any over excavated materials, and to establish grades in the building areas and pavement/flatwork areas, after the initial zone has been prepared as recommended above, should consist of approved on-site sandy lean clay to clayey sand material or approved structural fill material which is free from organic matter and debris. If on-site materials are used as engineered fill, they Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 7 should be placed in maximum 9-inch loose lifts, and be moisture conditioned and compacted as recommended for the scarified soils. If structural fill materials are used they should be graded similarly to a CDOT Class 5, 6 or 7 aggregate base with sufficient fines to prevent ponding of water within the fill. Structural fill material should be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9 inches thick, adjusted to a workable moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of standard Proctor maximum dry density as determined by ASTM Specification D698. The sandy lean clay to clayey sand soils may be subject to strength loss and instability when wet. Care should be exercised after preparation of the subgrades to avoid disturbing the subgrade materials. Positive drainage should be developed away from the structures and pavements to avoid wetting of subgrade materials. Subgrade materials becoming wet subsequent to construction of the site improvements can result in unacceptable performance. Footing Foundations Footing foundations bearing on approved in-situ sandy lean clay to clayey sand subsoils or a zone of engineered/controlled fill material prepared as outlined in the section titled Site Preparation, could be designed for a maximum net allowable total load bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. Total loads include full dead and live loads. We estimate the long-term settlement of footing foundations, designed and constructed as outlined above, would be approximately 1 inch. Footings should be placed on similar like subsoils to reduce the potential for differential movement of dissimilar material, and should also be proportioned to reduce differential foundation movement. If actual design loads exceed the assumed values as previously presented and/or if the anticipated movement cannot be tolerated, consideration could be given to a more extensive over excavation. After placement of any fill materials and/or preparation of subgrade material for foundation support, care should be taken to avoid wetting or drying of those materials. Bearing materials, which are loosened or disturbed by the construction activities or materials which become dry and desiccated or wet and softened should be removed and replaced or reworked in place prior to construction of the overlying improvements. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 8 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. Floor Slabs In our opinion, floor slabs could be supported on a zone of ground modified/engineered fill material consisting of the native subsoils, following the protocol outlined in the section titled Site Preparation. Floor slabs supported on reconditioned engineered fill could be designed using a modulus of subgrade support (k-value) of 150 pci. Care should be taken after preparation of the subgrades to avoid disturbing the subgrade materials. Materials which are loosened, become dry and desiccated, or wet and softened should be removed and replaced or reworked in place prior to placement of the overlying floor slabs. Care should be taken to maintain proper moisture contents in the subgrade soils prior to placement of any overlying improvements. An underslab gravel layer or thin leveling course could be used underneath the concrete floor slabs to provide a capillary break mechanism, a load distribution layer, and as a leveling course for the concrete placement. Additional floor 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.  Floor 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. Seismic Conditions The site soil conditions consist of sandy lean clay to clayey sand and silty sand and gravel extending to depths of at least 25 feet below existing site grades. Bedrock was not encountered in any of the borings Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 9 to the depths explored, approximately 5 to 25 feet below existing site grades. For those site conditions, the International Building Code indicates a Seismic Site Classification of D. Pavements After stripping and completing all cuts and/or over excavations and prior to placement of any fill, or road base, we recommend the in-place soils be scarified to a depth of 9 inches, adjusted in moisture content and compacted as recommended in the Site Preparation section of this report. Fill soils required to develop the pavement subgrades should consist of approved, low volume change materials which are free from organic matter and debris. Soils similar to the near surface sandy lean clay to clayey/silty sand could be used in the pavement subgrades. We recommend those fill soils be placed as recommended in the Site Preparation section of this report. The sandy lean clay to clayey sand subgrade soils may show strength loss and instability when wetted. Stabilization of those subgrades could be necessary at the time of construction to develop a stable platform for subsequent paving. Stabilization could be predesigned into the subgrades and the stabilized subgrades would be considered a part of the pavement section. Consideration could be given to a fly ash treatment concept should pumping conditions develop and the subgrade requires a stabilization approach. If a subgrade stabilization concept is required, consideration could be given to incorporating Class C fly ash within the upper 12-inches of the site pavements prior to construction of the overlying pavement structure. Stabilization should consist of blending 13% by dry weight of Class C fly ash in the top 12 inches of the subgrades. The blended materials should be adjusted in moisture content to slightly dry of standard Proctor optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of the material’s maximum dry density as determined in accordance with the standard Proctor procedure. Compaction of the subgrade should be completed within two hours after initial blending of the Class C fly ash. We expect the site pavements will include areas primarily designated for automobile traffic use and areas for occasional heavy-duty truck traffic. For design purposes, an assumed equivalent daily load axle (EDLA) rating of 7 is used in the automobile areas and an EDLA rating of 15 in the heavy-duty areas. Based on the subsurface conditions encountered at the site, and the laboratory test results, it is recommended the on-site private drives and parking areas be designed using an assumed R-value of 10. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 10 Hot mix asphalt (HMA) underlain by aggregate base course or a non-reinforced concrete pavement may be feasible options for the proposed on-site paved sections. HMA pavements may show rutting and distress in areas of heavy truck traffic or in truck loading and turning areas. Concrete pavements should be considered in those areas. Suggested pavement sections are provided in the table below. The outlined pavement sections are minimums and thus, periodic maintenance should be expected. TABLE III: RECOMMENDED MINIMUM PAVEMENT SECTIONS Automobile Parking Heavy Duty Areas 18-kip EDLA 18-kip ESAL Reliability Resilient Modulus PSI Loss 7 51,100 75% 3562 2.5 15 109,500 85% 3562 2.2 Design Structure Number 2.47 2.96 Composite Section – Option A (assume Stable Subgrade) Hot Mix Asphalt Aggregate Base Course Structure Number 4" 7" (2.53) 5" 7" (2.97) Composite Section with Fly Ash Treated Subgrade Hot Mix Asphalt Aggregate Base Course Fly Ash Treated Subgrade (assume half-credit) Structure Number 3½" 6" 10" (2.70) 4" 7" 10" (3.03) PCC (Non-reinforced) – placed on a stable subgrade 5-1/2" 7" We recommend aggregate base be graded to meet a Class 5 or Class 6 aggregate base. Aggregate base should be adjusted to a workable moisture content and compacted to achieve a minimum of 95% of standard Proctor maximum dry density. HMA should be graded to meet a SX (75) or S (75) with PG 58-28 and/or PG 64-22 binder. HMA should be compacted to achieve 92 to 96% of the mix's theoretical maximum specific gravity (Rice Value). Portland cement concrete should be an acceptable exterior pavement mix with a minimum 28-day compressive strength of 4,000 psi and should be air entrained. The recommended pavement sections are minimums; thus, periodic maintenance should be expected. Longitudinal and transverse joints should be provided as needed in concrete pavements for Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 11 pavement geometry. Sawed joints should be cut in accordance with ACI recommendations. All joints should be sealed to prevent entry of foreign material and dowelled where necessary for load transfer. 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 recommendations should be considered the minimum:  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, wash racks)  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 and compact low permeability backfill against the exterior side of curb and gutter. Preventive maintenance should be planned and provided for through 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 subgrades should be carefully evaluated at the time of pavement construction for signs of disturbance, rutting, or excessive drying. If disturbance has occurred, pavement subgrade Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 12 areas should be reworked, moisture conditioned, and properly compacted to the recommendations in this report immediately prior to paving. If during or after placement of the 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 methods of stabilization, or a change in the pavement section. Water Soluble Sulfates The water soluble sulfate (SO4) testing of the on-site overburden and bedrock materials taken during our subsurface exploration at varying depths are provided in the table below. Based on the reported sulfate content test results, this report includes a recommendation for the CLASS of cement for use for contact in association with the on-site subsoils. TABLE IV - Water Soluble Sulfate Test Results VV Sample Location Description Soluble Sulfate Content (mg/kg) Soluble Sulfate Content (%) B-1, S-1 at 2’ Sandy Lean Clay / Clayey Sand 270 0.03 B-4, S-3 at 4’ Sandy Lean Clay / Clayey Sand 180 0.02 Based on the results as presented in table above, ACI 318, Section 4.2 indicates the site overburden materials have a low risk of sulfate attack on Portland cement concrete. Therefore, site concrete could be designed in accordance with ACI 318 using a negligible sulfate exposure of S0, however, if there is minimal to no cost difference a site concrete using a moderate sulfate exposure of S1 could be considered. Foundation concrete should be designed in accordance with the provisions of the ACI Design Manual, Section 318, Chapter 4. Detention Pond – Preliminary Infiltration Rates EEC personnel conducted preliminary infiltration characteristics by performing “soil percolation” tests, similar to that used for developing design criteria for an on-site sewage disposal system adjacent to borings B-5 and B-6. The subsoils analyzed within the proposed detention pond area, (i.e., the general vicinity of borings B-5 through B-8), consisted of sandy lean clay / clayey sand which extended to the depths explored, approximately 5 to 15 feet below existing site grades. Portions of the near surface sandy lean clay / clayey sand consisted of apparent uncontrolled fill encountered in borings B-5, B-7, Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 13 and B-8 and extended to depths of approximately 1 to 5 feet to the underlying apparent native sandy lean clay / clayey sand. Soil percolation characteristics of the near surface sandy lean clay / clayey sand apparent fill adjacent to boring B-5 could not be determined due to immediate drainage of any introduced water. The apparent native near surface sandy lean clay / clayey sand adjacent to boring B-6 exhibited soil percolation characteristics of approximately 24 minutes per inch, which correlates to about 2.5 inches per hour. EEC can provide supplemental investigations and percolation data if requested. Utilities Excavations into the on-site soils will encounter a variety of conditions. Excavations into the near surface sandy lean clay to clayey sand soils can be expected to stand on relatively steep temporary slopes during construction; however, caving soils may also be encountered in the clayey sand soils. 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. Other Considerations 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 adjacent to the buildings 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. Lawn watering systems should not be placed within 5 feet of the perimeter of the building and parking areas. Spray heads should be designed not to spray water on or immediately adjacent to the structure or site pavements. Roof drains should be designed to discharge at least 5 feet away from the structure and away from the pavement areas. Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC EEC Project No. 1182044 June 18, 2018 Page 14 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 and foundation construction phases to help determine that the design requirements are fulfilled. This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of CSURF 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.

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).
