Waterfield 3rd Filing - Timberline Road and East Vine Drive
Evaluation of Groundwater/Subsurface Conditions
Fort Collins, Colorado
EEC Project No. 1182033
Mr. Nichols:
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC) personnel have completed the supplemental
subsurface exploration and the installation of the requested three (3) long-term groundwater
monitoring wells (MWs), the two (2) temporary piezometers (PZs), and the four (4) bedrock
exploratory borings for the referenced project. The purpose of our supplemental assessment was
to provide a mechanism to measure and evaluate the groundwater fluctuations and characteristics
across the property to assist Miller Groundwater Engineering, LLC in the evaluation of a
possible area underdrain system. This supplemental study was completed in general accordance
with our proposal dated April 13, 2018.
For this phase of the project we understand the installation of the requested three (3) MWs, two
(2) PZs (registered with the State of Colorado – Division of Water Resources), and four (4)
exploratory borings will assist the design team in evaluating the necessity and possible design of
an area underdrain system for the property in an effort to develop the site for residential
construction.
SITE EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES
As part of this study, EEC personnel completed three (3) MWs, two (2) PZs, and four (4)
bedrock exploratory borings at the approximate locations as indicated on the site diagrams
included with this report. The borings were extended to depths of approximately 20 to 65 feet
below existing site grades. Upon completion of the drilling operations, the boreholes labeled
herein as MW-1 through MW-3 were converted to approximate 20 to 25 feet PVC cased

monitoring wells while the boreholes labeled herein as PZ-1 and PZ-2 were converted to
temporary approximate 20 to 25 feet hand/field slotted piezometers, for use to develop
groundwater characteristics. Results of the field and laboratory testing completed for this
assessment are included with this report.
The three (3) MW, two (2) PZ, and the four (4) bedrock exploratory boring locations were
established in the field prior to drilling by EEC personnel, with the assistance from Calvin
Miller, P.E., PhD, with Miller Groundwater Engineering, LLC, by use of a hand-held GPS unit
and by pacing from identifiable site features at locations accessible to our drilling equipment.
The boring locations are presented on the attached boring location diagrams. As presented on
the enclosed site diagrams, bedrock exploratory borings were drilled adjacent to MW-1, PZ-2,
MW-2 and MW-3, respectively, and labeled as B-1 through B-4.
The soil 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 4¼-inch nominal ID hollow stem augers to maintain open boreholes for sampling and PVC
piezometer/pipe installation. Samples of the subsurface materials encountered were obtained
using the split barrel/Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampling procedures in general accordance
with ASTM Specifications D1586.
In the split-barrel sampling procedure, 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 split barrel sampler 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. All
samples obtained in the field were sealed and returned to our laboratory for further examination,
classification and testing.
After completing the drilling and sampling, and prior to removal of the hollow stem augers, PVC
casings were installed in the open boreholes through the hollow stem augers. The MWs were
constructed with 2-inch nominal diameter schedule 40 manufactured well screen and riser pipe.
In general, the MWs consisted of a 15-foot section of flush threaded slotted well screen to depths
as indicated on the enclosed boring logs, with flush threaded solid riser pipe, as required, to
extend the MWs above ground surface elevations. The screened portion of the MWs were
backfilled with 10/20 silica sand, with an approximate 2-foot bentonite plug/seal placed above
the sand layer, and then backfilled with a blend of the auger cuttings generated and bentonite to
the existing ground surface elevations. For the piezometers (PZs) a hand/field slotted 1-inch

diameter PVC casing was installed in each borehole. Cross-sectional schematics of the MW/PZ
installations are indicated on the attached boring logs.
The State of Colorado Division of Water Resources was notified of intent to construct
monitoring holes prior to beginning the field exploration. Copies of those notices with
acknowledgement from the State Engineer’s Office are available upon request. The well
construction and test reports will be provided to the Division of Water Resources including
copies of the boring logs provided with this report. If the monitoring wells (MWs) will remain in
place longer than one year, it will be necessary to notify the Division of Water Resources and
complete registration of those wells. Installation was completed by a licensed water well driller,
(Drilling Engineers of Fort Collins), and was completed in accordance with the water well
construction rules from the Division of Water Resources.
Laboratory testing completed on recovered samples included moisture content and visual
classification of the samples. Atterberg limits tests were completed on selected samples to
evaluate the soil’s plasticity. Washed sieve analyses were also completed on selected samples to
evaluate the grain size distribution of the subsurface materials encountered. The grain size
distribution samples were recovered in a standard split-barrel sampler so that any larger size
materials in the subsoils would be excluded from the test samples. 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 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 Waterfield 3rd Filing Development is located north of East Vine Drive and west of North
Timberline Road, in north Fort Collins, Colorado. The property is generally undeveloped and
exhibits positive surface drainage toward the southwest with an estimated relief across the site on
the order of about 20 to 40 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.
Vegetation and topsoil was encountered at the surface of each boring. Underlying the
topsoil/vegetation layer was generally a zone of cohesive subsoils classified lean clay with
varying amounts of sand and/or clayey sand, extending to depths of approximately 9 to 41 feet
below the ground surface. Sand was encountered below the surficial layers in boring B-3.
Underlying the cohesive soils was sand with varying amounts of gravel extending to the depths
explored in the borings B-1 through B-4 and depths of approximately 37 to 63 feet below the
ground surface. Claystone bedrock was encountered below the granular soils in the bedrock
exploration borings, and extending to the depths explored, approximately 40 to 65 feet below the
existing ground surface.
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 Observations
Observations were made while drilling and after the completion of drilling to detect the presence
and level of free water. Subsequent groundwater measurements were also performed on May 7,
2018. Groundwater and/or the presence of a piezometric water surface, was generally observed
at depths ranging from approximately 8½ to 14½ feet below ground surface as indicated on the
enclosed boring logs. The measured depths to groundwater are recorded near the upper right-
hand corner of each boring log included with 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.
Perched and/or trapped water may be encountered in more permeable zones in the subgrade soils
at different times throughout the year. Perched water is commonly encountered in soils
immediately overlying less permeable clay zones or seams. Fluctuations in ground water levels
and in the location and amount of perched/trapped water may occur over time depending on

ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Preliminary Basement Design and Construction
We provide the following information to assist the ownership group and/or the civil design
engineers in the determination if an area wide underdrain system is required to allow for
basement construction across the Waterfield 3rd Filing Development. Groundwater was
encountered across the site within the nine (9) supplemental MW’s/PZ’s and bedrock exploration
borings at approximate depths of 8½ to 14½ feet below existing site grades. If lower level
construction for full-depth basements is being considered for the site, we would suggest that the
lower level subgrade(s) be placed a minimum of 4-feet above maximum anticipated rise in
groundwater levels, or a combination exterior and interior perimeter drainage system(s) be
installed.
Consideration could also 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 four (4) foot
separation to the maximum anticipated rise in groundwater. EEC is available to assist in the
underdrain design if requested.
The following information should be considered, which as previously mentioned, would be to
install an interior and exterior perimeter drainage system for each individual residence,
regardless if an area wide underdrain system were to be designed and installed. To reduce the
potential for groundwater to enter the lower level/basement area of the structure(s), installation
of a dewatering system for each residence is recommended. The dewatering system should, at a
minimum, include an underslab gravel drainage layer sloped to an interior perimeter drainage
system. The following provides design recommendations for both interior and exterior perimeter
drainage systems for each residence.
The underslab 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 lot.
To reduce the potential for surface water infiltration from impacting foundation bearing soils
and/or entering any planned below grade portion of any residential structure, installation of an
exterior perimeter drainage system is recommended. This 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, 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.

Other Considerations and Recommendations
Groundwater was observed at an approximate depth of 8½ to 14½ feet below present site grades.
Excavations extending to the wetter soils could create difficulties for backfilling of the
utility/pipe trenches with drying of the subgrade soils required to use those materials as backfill.
In general, the subgrade soils could be used as backfill soils although care will be necessary to
maintain sufficient moisture to reduce potential for post-construction movement.
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;
however, caving soils may also be encountered within the underlying granular soils, especially in
close proximity to the groundwater table. 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.

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).
