Mr. Oermann:
Enclosed, herewith, are the results of the subsurface exploration completed by Earth Engineering
Consultants, LLC (EEC) for the referenced project. For this exploration, twelve (12) soil borings
were extended to depths of approximately 10 to 35 feet below existing site grades. This
subsurface exploration was carried out in general accordance with our proposal dated April 3,
2020.
In summary, the subsurface conditions encountered beneath the surficial vegetation layer in the
test borings, generally consisted of sandy lean clay transitioning to clayey sand at depths of
approximately 4 to 11 feet below the ground surface. The sandy lean clay was generally dry,
stiff to very stiff, and exhibited low to high swell potential at current moisture and density
conditions. The clayey sand extended to the depths explored at approximately 10 feet in the
pavement and percolation borings and to the underlying bedrock at depths of approximately 13
to 19 feet in the remaining borings. Sandstone/siltstone/claystone bedrock was encountered
below the overburden subsoils in the building borings and extended to the depths explored,
approximately 20 to 35 feet below the ground surface. The bedrock was generally moist in situ,
highly weathered to moderately hard and exhibited low swell potential at current moisture and
density conditions. Groundwater was not encountered in the borings which extended to
maximum depths of approximately 10 to 35 feet below the ground surface.
Based on the encountered subsurface conditions, in our opinion, the proposed building should be
supported on straight shaft drilled piers extending into the underlying bedrock formation, with

INTRODUCTION
The geotechnical subsurface exploration for the proposed senior living facility planned for
construction south of Monroe Drive and west of Stanford Road in Fort Collins, Colorado has been
completed. To develop subsurface information in the proposed development area, twelve (12) soil
borings were drilled within the proposed building footprint and various site improvement areas. Nine
(9) borings were extended to depths of approximately 20 to 35 feet below existing site grades within
the proposed building area, two (2) percolation borings were extended to depths of approximately 10
feet within the proposed detention pond and garden areas, and one (1) boring was extended to a
depth of approximately 10 feet within the proposed pavement areas. A site diagram indicating the
approximate boring locations is included with this report.
We understand the proposed development will consist of a new senior living facility with associated
utility improvements, a courtyard, a detention pond, and paved parking spaces. The proposed
building is expected to be an approximate 240,000 (+/-) total square foot building consisting of 1 to
2 below grade parking levels and 4 stories above grade. We anticipate maximum foundations loads
will be relatively moderate to heavy with maximum wall and column loads less than 6 klf and 250
kips, respectively. If the actual loads vary significantly from the assumed loads, we should be
consulted to verify our recommendations are consistent for the actual loads. Floor loads are
expected to be light to moderate. Pavement areas are expected to accommodate large volumes of
light vehicles and smaller volumes of heavy-duty traffic. Small grade changes are expected to
develop site grades for the proposed improvements. Overall, cuts and fills are anticipated to be less
than 5 feet to develop finish site grades.
The purpose of this report is to describe the subsurface conditions encountered in the test borings,
analyze, and evaluate the field and laboratory test data and provide geotechnical recommendations
concerning design and construction of foundations and floor slabs and support of flatwork.
Recommended pavement sections are also included.

EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES
The test boring locations were selected and established in the field by EEC personnel by pacing and
estimating angles from identifiable site features. The approximate locations of the borings are
shown on the attached boring location diagram. The boring locations should be considered accurate
only to the degree implied by the methods used to make the field measurements.
The test borings were advanced 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 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 by means of 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. 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 with unconfined
compressive strength of appropriate samples estimated using a calibrated hand penetrometer.
Atterberg limits and washed sieve analysis tests were completed on select samples to evaluate the
quantity and plasticity of fines in the subgrades. Swell/consolidation testing was completed on select
samples to evaluate the potential for the subgrade materials to change volume with variation in
moisture content and load. 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 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.

SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The proposed Stanford – Senior Living Center project is planned for construction south of Monroe
Drive and west of Stanford Road in Fort Collins, Colorado. Sparse vegetation was encountered at
the surface of the borings. Ground surface in this area is relatively flat with approximately 5 feet ± of
relief from north to south, based on our cursory review of the site on Google Earth, and the
topographic contour map prepared by the project’s civil engineering consultants.
EEC field personnel were 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 results of laboratory testing and
evaluation. Based on results of the field borings and laboratory testing, subsurface conditions can be
generalized as follows.
From the ground surface, the subgrades underlying the vegetation layer consisted of soils classified
as sandy lean clay transitioning to clayey sand at depths of approximately 4 to 11 feet below the
ground surface. The sandy lean clay was generally dry, stiff to very stiff, and exhibited low to high
swell potential at current moisture and density conditions. The clayey sand extended to the depths
explored at approximately 10 feet in the pavement and percolation borings and to the underlying
bedrock at depths of approximately 13 to 19 feet in the remaining borings.
Sandstone/siltstone/claystone bedrock was encountered below the clayey sand soils in the building
borings and extended to the depths explored, approximately 20 to 35 feet below the ground surface.
The bedrock was generally moist in situ, highly weathered to moderately hard and exhibited low
swell potential at current moisture and density conditions. A bedrock contour map showing
approximate bedrock elevations has been included with this report, to assist the designing in
determining final site grades as well as the selected foundation system for the project.
The stratification boundaries indicated on the boring logs represent the approximate location of
changes in soil 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 and on the dates indicated on the boring

EEC Project No. 1202023

logs, groundwater was not observed in the borings which extended to maximum depths of
approximately 10 to 35 feet below the ground surface. The borings were backfilled upon completion
of the drilling operations; therefore, subsequent groundwater measurements were not performed.
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. 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
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, relatively undisturbed
samples obtained directly from the California sampler are placed in a laboratory apparatus and
inundated with water under a predetermined load. The swell-index is the resulting amount of swell or
collapse after the inundation period expressed as a percent of the sample’s preload/initial thickness.
After the inundation period, additional incremental loads are applied to evaluate the swell pressure
and/or consolidation.
For this assessment, we conducted fifteen (15) swell-consolidation tests on relatively undisturbed
soil samples obtained at various intervals/depths on the site. The swell index values for the in-situ
soil samples analyzed revealed low to high swell characteristics as indicated on the attached swell
test summaries. The (+) test results indicate the soil materials swell potential characteristics while
the (-) test results indicate the soils materials collapse/consolidation potential characteristics when
inundated with water. The following table summarizes the swell-consolidation laboratory test results
for samples obtained during our field explorations for the subject site.

Colorado Association of Geotechnical Engineers (CAGE) uses the following information to provide
uniformity in terminology between geotechnical engineers to provide a relative correlation of slab
performance risk 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.

Very High > 8 > 6
Based on the laboratory test results, the in-situ samples analyzed for this project were within the low to
high range. Additionally, the near surface pavement boring sample exhibited a swell index greater than
the maximum allowable 2% criteria. Therefore, a swell mitigation procedure, consisting of a 2-foot
over excavation and replacement or fly ash treatment of the pavement subgrades should be
implemented.
General Considerations
Sandstone/siltstone/claystone bedrock was generally encountered at depths of approximately 13 to
19 feet below the ground surface. Due to the expected 1 to 2 stories of below grade construction it is
likely that foundations and basement slabs will be constructed at elevation approaching or in the

bedrock formation. The bedrock exhibited generally low swell potential at current moisture and
density conditions. If the bedrock were to dry out and become inundated with excess moisture,
potential movement could occur. In general, we recommend a separation of at least 4 feet between
the bottom of spread footings and bedrock, to prevent surface infiltration from pooling at foundation
levels and potential movement. Depending upon final site grades and actual design loads,
consideration should be given to supporting the building on a grade beam and straight shaft/drilled
pier foundation system or completing an over excavation procedure to provide the minimum
separation to bedrock as described herein.
The overburden sandy lean clay soils generally exhibited moderate to high potential when inundated
with water. Although we expect the building foundations to extend into the clayey sand/bedrock
strata for below grade parking, if foundations are expected in the sandy lean clay soils the use of
drilled pier foundations or swell mitigation and ground modification procedures would be required to
mitigate for potential movement and due to the expected moderate to high building loads. The
purpose of these procedures is to reduce the potential for post-construction movement. It should be
noted however, that the risk of potential movement cannot be completely eliminated.
Site Preparation
Prior to placement of any fill and/or improvements, we recommend any existing topsoil, vegetation,
and undocumented fill, and any unsuitable materials be removed from the planned development
areas. Depending on the chosen foundation system, an over excavation procedure for either the floor
slabs or spread footings should be completed to the depths specified in the sections titled Footing
Foundations and Floor Slabs and Exterior Flatwork. Potholing and/or other observations should be
completed prior to construction, to determine the depth to bedrock throughout the proposed building
footprint. If bedrock is encountered less than 4 feet below proposed foundations or floor slabs, strong
consideration should be given to using drilled pier foundations. Over excavating to provide at least a
minimum 4 feet of separation to the bottom of foundations and/or floor slabs and bedrock, to
mitigate for swell potential, and/or provide greater bearing capacity for foundations in the
overburden soils could be considered if the ownership group is willing to accept a potential risk of
movement. If chosen as the swell mitigation plan for pavements, a minimum 2-foot over excavation
should be completed below proposed pavements. Over excavations should be extended laterally
beyond the edge of foundations and/or floor slabs, a minimum of 8-inches for every 12-inches of
depth.

After removal of all topsoil, vegetation, and removal of unacceptable or unsuitable subsoils, any
overexcavation, and prior to placement of fill, the exposed soils should be scarified to a 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 materials to develop the subgrades should consist of approved, low-volume-change materials,
which are free from organic matter and debris. It is our opinion, either granular structural fill or on-
site overburden soils (i.e. bedrock should not be reused as engineered fill material), could be used as
fill in these areas, provided adequate moisture treatment and compaction procedures are followed. It
should be noted that if the site sandy lean clay soils are used as fill materials, greater potential for
movement should be expected. The imported granular materials should be graded similarly to a
CDOT Class 5, 6 or 7 aggregate base. Fill materials should be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9
inches thick, adjusted in moisture content to within ±2% for cohesive subsoils and ±3% for
cohesive/granular soils, 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. If the site sandy lean clay soils are used as fill material, care will be
needed to maintain the recommended moisture content prior to and during construction of overlying
improvements.
Care should be exercised after preparation of the subgrades to avoid disturbing the subgrade
materials. Materials which are loosened or disturbed should be reworked prior to placement of
foundations/flatwork.
Foundation Systems – General Considerations
The following foundation systems were evaluated for use on the site for the proposed building.
Straight shaft drilled piers bearing into the underlying bedrock formation with either a
structural floor slab or a minimum 4 feet of separation to bedrock, and a conventional floor
slab bearing on a zone of fill material.
Footing foundations bearing on properly prepared fill materials, with a minimum 4-foot zone
of over excavated and replaced fill materials below footings and a minimum 4-foot separation

from the bottom of footings to bedrock could be considered if the ownership group is willing
to accept a greater potential risk of movement.
Other alternative foundation systems could be considered, and we would be pleased to provide
additional alternatives upon request.
Drilled Piers/Caissons Foundations
Due to the necessity to over-excavate and ground modify the existing cohesive overburden soils if
foundations are placed at higher elevations, and the relatively shallow depth to the underlying bedrock
for the expected below grade construction, as well as the expected building load conditions,
consideration should be given to supporting the proposed building 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 require
sufficient dead-load and/or additional penetration into the bearing strata to resist the potential uplift of
the expansive materials. All piers should be design for a minimum dead-load pressure of 5,000 psf,
based upon pier end area. 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. Due to the weathered condition of the
upper strata of bedrock, the top 3 feet should be neglected for final penetration depth. 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 = 30 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.

To satisfy forces in the horizontal direction, piers may be designed for lateral loads using a coefficient
of subgrade reaction for varying pier diameters is as follows:

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 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 computer program:
Table IV – L-Pile Parameters
Parameters On-Site Overburden Soils Bedrock

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
All piers should be reinforced full depth for the applied axial, lateral and uplift stresses imposed. The
amount of reinforcing steel for expansion should be determined by the tensile force created by the
uplift force on each pier, with allowance for dead load. Minimum reinforcement of at least one percent
of the cross-sectional area of each pier should be specified.
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 a minimum pier diameter
of 18 inches is recommended. A minimum 6-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 bedrock
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1202023
May 1, 2020
Page 10
may be encountered throughout the site at various depths where specialized drilling equipment and/or
rock excavating equipment may be required. Consideration should be given to obtaining a unit price
for difficult caisson excavation in the contract documents for the project.
To provide increased resistance to potential uplift forces, the sides of each pier should be mechanically
roughened in the bearing strata. This should be accomplished by a roughening tooth placed on the
auger. Pier bearing surfaces must be cleaned prior to concrete placement. A representative of the
geotechnical engineer should inspect the bearing surface and pier configuration.
We expect temporary casing may be required to maintain open boreholes. 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.
If casing is used for pier construction, it should be withdrawn in a slow continuous manner maintaining
a sufficient head of concrete to prevent infiltration of water or the creation of voids in pier concrete.
Pier concrete should have relatively high fluidity when placed in cased pier holes or through a tremie.
Pier concrete with slump in the range of 6 to 8 inches is recommended.
Free-fall concrete placement in piers will only be acceptable if provisions are taken to avoid striking
the concrete on the sides of the hole or reinforcing steel. The use of a bottom-dump hopper/tremie
pipe or an elephant's trunk discharging near the bottom of the hole where concrete segregation will be
minimized, is recommended.
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.
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.

Footing Foundations
As an alternative to a deep foundation system and assuming a greater risk of potential movement,
consideration could be given to supporting the proposed building on conventional footing
foundations bearing on a minimum 4-foot zone of fill materials prepared as recommended in the
section Site Preparation. For design of footing foundations bearing on properly prepared engineered
fill on-site moisture conditioned material (i.e. no reprocessed bedrock material) or imported
structural fill material, we recommend using a net allowable total load soil bearing pressure not to
exceed 2,000 psf or 3,000 psf, respectively. The net bearing pressure refers to the pressure at
foundation bearing level in excess of the minimum surrounding overburden pressure. Total loads
should include full dead and live loads. All footings should bear on a uniform, consistent fill zone to
minimize the potential for differential movement of dissimilar material.
Exterior foundations and foundations in unheated areas should be located a minimum of 30 inches
below adjacent exterior grade to provide frost protection. We recommend formed continuous
footings have a minimum width of 12 inches and isolated column foundations have a minimum
width of 24 inches. Trenched foundations should not be used.
No unusual problems are anticipated in completing the excavations required for construction of the
footing foundations. Care should be taken during construction to avoid disturbing the foundation
bearing materials. 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
prior to placement of foundation concrete.
We estimate the long-term settlement of footing foundations designed and constructed as outlined
above would be 1 inch or less. It should be noted that if the sandy lean clay soils are used as
compacted fill materials below footings, greater potential for movement could be expected.
Floor Slabs and Exterior Flatwork
Subgrades for floor slabs, flatwork and site pavements should be prepared as outlined in the section
Site Preparation. If drilled pier foundations are used, a structural floor slab should be considered;
however, assuming a greater potential risk of slab movement, an over excavation and replacement
concept extending a minimum 4 feet below the floor slab could be considered. If spread footing
foundations are used, we recommend an over excavation extending approximately 4 feet below the
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1202023

Page 12
bottom of footings and approximately 4 feet below the floor slab. Any over excavations and
placement of fill materials should be completed as described in the section Site Preparation. For
structural design of concrete slabs-on-grade, a modulus of subgrade reaction of 100 pounds per cubic
inch (pci) or 200 pci could be used for floors supported on controlled/engineered fill materials or
imported structural fill materials, respectively.
Additional floor slab design and construction recommendations are as follows:
Interior partition walls should be separated/floated from floor slabs to allow for
independent movement.
Positive separations and/or isolation joints should be provided between slabs and all
foundations, columns, and utility lines to allow for 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
should be followed.
For interior floor slabs, depending on the type of floor covering and adhesive used, those material
manufacturers may require that specific subgrade, capillary break, and/or vapor barrier requirements
be met. The project architect and/or material manufacturers should be consulted with for specific
under slab requirements.
We estimate the long-term movement of floor slabs designed and constructed as outlined above
would be 1 inch or less. It should be noted that if the sandy lean clay soils are used as compacted fill
materials below floor slabs, greater potential for movement could be expected.
Care should be exercised after development of the floor slab and exterior flatwork subgrades to
prevent disturbance of the in-place materials. Subgrade soils which are loosened or disturbed by
construction activities or soils which become wet and softened or dry and desiccated should be
removed and replaced or reworked in place prior to placement of the overlying slabs.

Lateral Earth Pressures
Portions of the new structure or site improvements which are constructed below grade may be
subject to lateral earth pressures. Passive lateral earth pressures may help resist the driving forces
for retaining wall or other similar site structures. 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, such as below
grade walls for a building. 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 Table V 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 on-site essentially cohesive subsoils. For 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, 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. 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. Care should be taken to develop appropriate drainage systems behind below grade walls

Page 14
to eliminate potential for hydrostatic loads developing on the walls. Those systems would likely
include perimeter drain systems extending to sump areas or free outfall where reverse flow cannot
occur into the system. Where necessary, appropriate hydrostatic load values should be used for
design.
To reduce hydrostatic loading on retaining walls, a subsurface drain system should be placed behind
the wall. The drain system should consist of free-draining granular soils containing less than five
percent fines (by weight) passing a No. 200 sieve placed adjacent to the wall. The free-draining
granular material should be graded to prevent the intrusion of fines or encapsulated in a suitable
filter fabric. A drainage system consisting of either weep holes or perforated drain lines (placed near
the base of the wall) should be used to intercept and discharge water which would tend to saturate
the backfill. Where used, drain lines should be embedded in a uniformly graded filter material and
provided with adequate clean-outs for periodic maintenance. An impervious soil should be used in
the upper layer of backfill to reduce the potential for water infiltration. As an alternative, a
prefabricated drainage structure, such as geo-composite product, may be used as a substitute for the
granular backfill adjacent to the wall.
Seismic
The site soil conditions generally consist of sandy lean clay which extended to the underlying
bedrock at depths of 13 to 19 feet. For those site conditions, the International Building Code
indicates a Seismic Site Classification of D. Drilling to a greater depth could reveal a different site
classification.
Pavements
Pavement subgrades should be prepared as outlined in the section Site Preparation. A swell
mitigation plan consisting of a 2-foot over excavation and/or fly ash treatment of the subgrades
should be implemented.
For fly ash treatment, we recommend the addition of at least 13% Class C fly ash to the in-place
subgrade materials, based on dry weights. The Class C fly ash should be thoroughly blended with
the in-place soils to a depth of 12 inches below the top of subgrade. The blended materials should be
adjusted to be within ±2% of standard Proctor optimum moisture and compacted to at least 95% of

the materials maximum dry density as determined in accordance with the standard Proctor procedure
for stabilized materials (ASTM Specification D558).
We anticipate the site pavements would include areas designated for low volumes of light weight
automobiles (light duty) and areas of higher volumes of light weight automobiles and low volumes
of trucks (heavy duty). An equivalent daily load application (EDLA) value of 7 was assumed for
light duty areas and an EDLA of 15 was assumed for heavy duty areas.
Proofrolling and recompacting the subgrade is recommended immediately prior to placement of the
aggregate road base section. 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, an assumed R-value of 7 was used in design of the pavement
sections.
Recommended minimum pavement sections are provided below in Table VI. HBP sections may
show rutting/distress in truck loading and drive areas; therefore, concrete pavements should be
considered in these areas. The recommended pavement sections are considered minimum; thus,
periodic maintenance should be expected.

HBP should be graded as SX or S and be prepared with 75 gyrations using a Superpave gyratory
compactor in accordance with CDOT standards. The HBP should consist of PG 58-28 or PG 64-22
asphalt binder. HBP should be compacted to achieve 92 to 96% of the mix’s theoretical maximum
specific gravity (Rice Value).
Portland cement concrete should be an approved exterior pavement mix with a minimum 28-day
compressive strength of 4,500 psi and should be air entrained. Wire mesh or fiber could be considered
to reduce shrinkage cracking.
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. landscaped and
irrigated islands, etc.),
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;
Placing compacted, low permeability backfill against the exterior side of curb and gutter; and,
Placing curb, gutter, and/or sidewalk directly on approved proof rolled subgrade soils without the
use of base course materials.
Please 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.
Detention Pond
A detention pond is planned for construction on either the southeast or the southwest side of the site.
As a part of our subsurface exploration, two (2) borings were extended within the detention pond area,
and field percolation tests were completed, (P-1 and P-2). The field percolation test borings on either
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1202023
May 1, 2020
Page 17
side of the development exhibited a soil percolation rate of approximately 20 min/in or an equivalent
falling head coefficient of permeability of approximately 2.1x10-3 cm/sec. In general, the more
granular clayey sand materials encountered at depths of approximately 5 to 8 feet in borings P-1 and P-
2 are more permeable than the overburden clay subsoils.
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 VII - Water Soluble Sulfate Test Results
Sample Location Description % of Soil by Weight
B-2, S-1, at 4’ Sandy Lean Clay 0.01
B-5, S-1, at 2’ Sandy Lean Clay 0.01
B-6, S-4, at 9’ Sandy Lean Clay 0.01
Based on the results as presented above, ACI 318, Section 4.2 indicates the site lean clay soils have a
low risk of sulfate attack on Portland cement concrete, therefore, ACI Class S0 requirements should
be followed for concrete placed in the overburden soils and underlying bedrock. Foundation
concrete should be designed in accordance with the provisions of the ACI Design Manual, Section
318, Chapter 4.
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 (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
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1202023
May 1, 2020
Page 18
drains should be designed to discharge at least 5 feet away from the structures and away from the
pavement areas.
Excavations into the on-site lean to fat clay soils and underlying bedrock can be expected to stand on
relatively steep, temporary slopes during construction. 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.
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,

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).
