Proposed Willox Farm Residential Development (Larimer County Parcel #970220003)
Approximately 19.3-Acres – South of Willox Lane and ½-Mile West of College Avenue
Installation of 1 Groundwater Monitoring Well and 4 Piezometers
Fort Collins, Colorado
EEC Project No. 1212027
Mr. Hartsel:
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC) personnel have completed the supplemental
subsurface exploration and the installation of the requested one (1) long-term groundwater
monitoring well (MW) and the four (4) temporary piezometers (PZs) 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 March 14,
2022.
EEC personnel had previously completed a preliminary subsurface exploration for the Willox
Farms property in 2021. The preliminary subsurface exploration conducted by EEC in April
2021, in which seven (7) preliminary borings were completed at random locations across the site,
had recorded groundwater levels at approximate depths of 3 to 5 feet below existing site grades.
For further information and findings thereof, please refer to our Preliminary Subsurface
Exploration Report dated May 6, 2021, EEC Project No. 1212027.
For this phase of the project we understand the installation of the requested single MW and four
(4) PZs (registered with the State of Colorado – Division of Water Resources), 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 possible below grade residential basement
construction.

SITE EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES
As part of this study, EEC personnel completed one (1) MW and four (4) PZs at the approximate
locations as indicated on the site diagram included with this report. The borings were extended
to depths of approximately 15 feet below existing site grades. Upon completion of the drilling
operations, the borehole labeled herein as MW-1 was converted to an approximate 15 foot PVC
cased monitoring well, while the boreholes labeled herein as PZ-1 through PZ-4 were converted
to temporary, approximate 15 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 MW and the four (4) PZ 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 diagram.
The soil borings were completed using a truck-mounted, CME 55 drill rig equipped with a
hydraulic head employed in drilling and sampling operations. The boreholes were advanced
using 4¼-inch nominal inside diameter (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 MW was
constructed with 2-inch nominal diameter schedule 40 manufactured well screen and riser pipe.

In general, the MW consisted of an approximate 10-foot section of flush threaded slotted well
screen to depths as indicated on the enclosed boring log, with flush threaded solid riser pipe, as
required, to extend the MW to the above ground surface elevations. The screened portion of the
MW was 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 (MW) will remain in
place longer than 18 months, 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.

SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The Willox Farm Residential Development parcel is located south of Willox Lane and
approximately 1/2-mile west of North College Avenue in Fort Collins, Colorado. The project
site is generally undeveloped and situated west of the Hickory Village residential development.
Open space is located to the southwest and south of the site with existing farm ground to the
northeast. The site is relatively flat with an estimated relief of approximately 5-feet (+/-) from
north to south.
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/piezometer
and groundwater monitoring 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 the
field and laboratory evaluation, subsurface conditions can be generalized as follows.
In summary, the subsurface soils encountered in the supplemental piezometer borings generally
consisted of a relative shallow depth of overburden slightly cohesive subsoils underlain by a
zone of fine to coarse granular subsoils, which extended to the depths explored, approximately
14 to 15 feet below existing site grades. Clayey sand, silty, clayey sand and/or sandy lean clay
subsoils were encountered in each of the PVC cased borings beneath the surficial
topsoil/vegetative layer and extended to depths of approximately 3 to 5 feet below existing site
grades. Silty sand with gravel with interbedded cobbles at increased depths, was encountered
beneath the upper slightly cohesive zone and extended to the depths explored, approximately 14
to 15 feet below existing site grades. Auguer refusal was encountered in MW-1 within a very
dense granular/cobble zone at a depth of approximately 14 feet below existing site grades. The
upper slightly cohesive subsoils were generally dry to moist in-situ, soft to stiff / loose to
medium dense in consistency and exhibited low to moderate plasticity. The granular zone was
moist to wet, and medium dense to dense in relative density.
The stratification boundaries indicated on the boring logs represent the approximate locations of
changes in soil and rock types; in-situ, the transition of materials may be gradual and indistinct.

GROUNDWATER OBSERVATIONS
Observations were made while drilling and after the completion of drilling to detect the presence
and level of free water. Subsequent groundwater measurements were also performed on April 7,
2022. Groundwater and/or the presence of a piezometric water surface, was generally observed
at depths ranging from approximately 3½ to 5½ 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
variations in hydrologic conditions, irrigation activities on this and surrounding properties and
other conditions not apparent at the time of this report.
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 Willox Farms Development. Groundwater was encountered
across the site within the five (5) supplemental MW/PZ’s borings at approximate depths of 3½ to
5½ 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 3 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 was 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 3½ to 5½ 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

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).
