GEOTECHNICAL SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION REPORT
PENNY FLATS PHASE 2
FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
EEC PROJECT NO. 15-01-272
October 7, 2015
INTRODUCTION:
Earth Engineering Company, Inc. (EEC) personnel have completed the geotechnical
subsurface exploration you requested for the proposed townhome residences and detached
garages to be constructed at the Penny Flats Phase 2 development in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Results of the subsurface exploration are provided in this report.
We understand the proposed townhome buildings will be either two, three or four-story
wood frame non-basement structures. The detached garage buildings will be single-story
wood frame structures constructed with slab-on-grade type foundations. We expect
foundation loads for the structures will be light, with continuous wall loads less than 3 kips
per lineal foot and individual column loads less than 50 kips. Small grade changes are
expected to develop final site grades for the structure.
The purpose of this report is to describe the subsurface conditions encountered in the test
borings completed within the identified building envelopes on the site and provide
geotechnical recommendations for design and construction of foundations and support of
floor slabs and exterior flatwork.
The proposed townhome buildings are situated in an area to the southwest of the
intersection of Cherry Street and North Mason Street of the Penny Flats Phase 2
development located in Fort Collins, Colorado.
To develop information on existing subsurface conditions in the area of the proposed
townhomes and detached garages, eleven soil borings were extended to depths of
approximately 20 to 35 feet below present site grades at the subject building envelopes.
The locations of the test borings were established by pacing and estimating angles from
site property corners and 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.

The borings were performed using a truck-mounted, rotary-type 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 Specification D-1586. All samples
obtained in the field were sealed and returned to the laboratory for further examination,
classification and testing.
An EEC field engineer was on site during drilling to evaluate the subsurface conditions
encountered and to direct the drilling activities. Field boring logs were prepared based on
observation of disturbed samples and auger cuttings. Based on results of the field borings
and laboratory testing, subsurface conditions at the proposed residence locations can be
generalized as follows:
The near surface soils generally consisted of brown and brown/dark brown sand and gravel
apparent fill materials with varying amounts of clay. The sand and gravel apparent fill
materials were loose to medium in consistency and exhibited a low potential for swelling
at current moisture and density conditions. The low plasticity essentially granular apparent
fill materials were underlain by natural brown sand and gravel materials at borings B-1, B-
2, B-4, B-6, B-7, B-9, B-10 and B-11 at a depth of approximately 2 to 4 feet below present
site grades. The essentially granular apparent fill materials encountered at borings B-3, B-
5 and B-8 were underlain by natural brown sandy lean clay soils at a depth of approximately
4 to 7 feet below present site grades. The natural sandy lean clay soils encountered in
borings B-3, B-5 and B-8 were stiff to very stiff in consistency and contained gravel. The
moderately plastic sandy lean clay soils exhibited a low potential for swelling at current
moisture and density conditions and were underlain by brown sand and gravel materials at
a depth of approximately 11 to 13 feet below present site grades. The sand and gravel
materials encountered in the borings were loose to very dense in consistency, contained
cobbles and were underlain by grey/brown and rust claystone bedrock at a depth of
approximately 9 to 20 feet below present site grades. The claystone bedrock was
moderately hard in consistency and exhibited a low to moderate potential for swelling at
current moisture and density conditions. The claystone bedrock encountered at borings B-
2, B-4, B-5, B-7, B-8 and B-9 extended to the bottom of borings at a depth of approximately
20 feet below present site grades. The claystone bedrock encountered at borings B-1, B-3,
B-6, B-10 and B-11 were underlain by grey shale bedrock at a depth of approximately 24

to 28 feet below present site grades. The shale bedrock was moderately hard to hard in
consistency. The shale bedrock exhibited a low to high potential for swelling at current
moisture and density conditions and extended to the bottom of the borings at a depth of
approximately 35 feet below present site grades.
Observations were made at the time of drilling and approximately 24 hours after drilling
of the borings to detect the presence and depth to the hydrostatic groundwater table. At
the time of drilling and approximately 24 hours after drilling, free water was not observed
in the completed site borings on this property. Longer-term observations in holes which
are cased and sealed from the influence of surface water would be required to more
accurately determine fluctuations in groundwater levels over time. Fluctuations in
groundwater levels can occur based on hydrologic conditions and other conditions not
apparent at the time of this report. Zones of perched and/or trapped water may also be
encountered in more permeable zones within the subgrade soils at times throughout the
year.
The stratification boundaries indicated on the boring logs represent the approximate
locations of changes in soil types. In-situ, the transition of materials may be gradual and
indistinct. Bedrock classification was based on visual and tactual observations of disturbed
samples and auger cuttings; coring and/or petrographic analysis may reveal other rock
types. In addition, the soil borings provide an indication of subsurface conditions at the test
locations. However, subsurface conditions may vary in relatively short distances away
from the borings. Potential variations in subsurface conditions can best be evaluated by
close observation and testing of the subgrade materials during construction. If significant
variations from the conditions anticipated from the test borings appear evident at that time,
it may be necessary to re-evaluate the recommendations provided in this report.
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Footing Foundations
Based on materials observed at the test boring locations, it is our opinion the proposed
lightly loaded multi-family residential townhome structures and detached garage buildings
could be supported on conventional footing foundations bearing in the acceptable sand and
gravel apparent fill materials, natural medium dense to very sand and gravel materials and

stiff to very stiff sandy lean clay soils. For design of footing foundations bearing on suitable
essentially granular apparent fill materials, natural sand and gravel materials and sandy
lean clay soils, we recommend using a net allowable total load soil bearing pressure not to
exceed 1,500 psf. The net bearing pressure refers to the pressure at foundation bearing level
in excess of the minimum surrounding overburden pressure.
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 12 inches and isolated column foundations
have a minimum width of 24 inches.
We recommend the foundation footing design loads be balanced to promote relatively
uniform settlement, thereby reducing the potential for differential settlement. As an
alternative to balancing the design loads solely on settlement, designing the foundation
such that the dead-load pressure is balanced throughout the foundations could be
considered. Balancing the dead-load pressure would also reduce the potential for
differential settlement between adjacent footings. We estimate the long-term settlement of
footing foundations designed and constructed as recommended above would be less than
1 inch.
Some zones of loose essentially granular apparent fill materials and natural sand and gravel
materials were observed in the completed borings in the area of the proposed structures.
Care will be needed to avoid placing structural elements directly on any loose zones of
material. Careful observation should be completed prior to placement of foundation
concrete to evaluate the bearing materials. If loose zones are observed at that time,
reworking of the subgrade or removal and replacement may be necessary to develop
suitable foundation bearing.
Claystone bedrock was encountered at a depth of approximately 9 to 20 feet below present
site grades in the completed test borings. We recommend maintaining a minimum 5-feet
separation between the claystone bedrock and foundation bearing elevation. If that
separation cannot be maintained, drilled pier type foundation systems are recommended.
No unusual problems are anticipated in the construction of the footing foundations. Care
should be taken to avoid disturbing the bearing soils. The natural site soils may be easily

disturbed by construction activities. Soils which are disturbed by the construction activities
or materials which have become dry and desiccated or wet and softened should be reworked
or removed from the foundation excavation prior to the placement of foundation concrete.
Care should be taken during construction to avoid disturbing the bearing materials.
Bearing materials which are loosened or disturbed by construction activities or which
become wetted and softened or dry and desiccated should be removed and replaced or
reworked in place prior to placement of reinforcing steel and foundation concrete.
We estimate the long-term settlement of footing foundations designed and constructed as
outlined above would be less than 1 inch.
Floor Slab, Exterior Slab-on-Grade and Pavement Subgrades
Any existing vegetation and/or topsoil should be removed from flatwork areas. After
stripping and completing all cuts and prior to placement of any floor slabs or fill, we
recommend the exposed subgrades be scarified to a minimum depth of 9 inches, adjusted
in moisture content and compacted to at least 95% of the material's maximum dry density
as determined in accordance with ASTM Specification D-698, the standard Proctor
procedure. The moisture content of the scarified soils should be adjusted to be within the
range of ±2% of standard Proctor optimum moisture at the time of compaction.
Fill soils required to develop the flatwork subgrades should consist of approved, low-
volume change materials which are free from organic matter and debris. It is our opinion
the on-site essentially granular materials and sandy lean clay soils could be used as low-
volume change fill in the floor areas. Those fill materials should be placed in loose lifts not
to exceed 9 inches thick, adjusted in moisture content as recommended for the scarified
soils and compacted to at least 95% of standard Proctor maximum dry density.
After preparation of the subgrades, care should be taken to avoid disturbing the in-place
materials. Subgrade materials 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 placement of the floor slab concrete.
As a precaution, the floor slabs should be isolated from structural portions of the building
to prevent distress to the structure due to differential movement of the structural elements.

EEC Project No. 15-01-272

We also recommend isolating the basement floor slab from non-load bearing partitions to
help reduce the potential for distress in upper sections of the building due to slab
movement. That isolation is typically developed through the use of a voided wall which is
suspended from the overhead first floor joist. Care should be exercised when framing
doors, drywalling and finishing to maintain a voided space which will allow for movement
of the floor slab without transmission of stresses to the overlying structure.
While laboratory testing completed for this report indicated the site soils sampled exhibited
relatively low swell potential, floor slab, exterior flatwork and pavement movement could
occur and should be expected. Slab movement is common in Colorado even in areas with
relatively low-swelling soils. Mitigation techniques to reduce the potential for post-
construction movement, such as overexcavation, moisture conditioning and replacement
could be considered; however, the risk for slab movement cannot be eliminated.
Pavements
Subgrades in the pavement areas should be generally prepared as outlined
above. However, site sandy lean clay soils and clayey sand soils may show instability on
strength loss when wetted. The instability will be visible through pumping and/or rutting
of the subgrades in the pavement areas prior to placement of the overlying pavement
structure.
To allow for placement of a pavement section on a stable subgrade, we recommend
consideration be given to stabilization of the pavement subgrade through the addition of
Class C fly ash. We recommend blending 13% Class C fly ash by dry weights for the top
12 inches of the subgrade beneath the pavement section to provide stable subgrade
support. The blended materials should be adjusted in moisture content to ±2% of standard
Proctor optimum moisture and compacted to at least 95% of the materials standard Proctor
maximum dry density. Compacting soils slightly dry of optimum moisture for maximum
dry density will result in higher compressive strengths.
In addition to developing a stable subgrade for the pavement construction, stabilization of
subgrade can be utilized to reduce the required asphalt and/or aggregate base for the
pavement section. We recommend the pavement section consist of 4 inches of hot
bituminous pavement (HBP) overlying 6 inches of aggregate base course (ABC) for drive
Earth Engineering Company, Inc.
EEC Project No. 15-01-272

Page 7
and entry areas. The HBP binder should be grading PG 58-28 or PG 64-22 and the ABC
should be Class 5 or Class 6 aggregate base.
In areas of truck turning and/or trash truck routes, we recommend the use of Portland
cement concrete surface. A minimum of 6 inches of Portland cement concrete supported
on a stabilized base should be constructed in these areas. Portland cement concrete for use
in the pavement areas should be an exterior pavement mix with a 28-day compressive
strength of at least 4,000 psi and should be air entrained.
Other Considerations
Positive drainage should be developed away from the structure with a minimum slope of 1
inch per foot for the first 10 feet away from the building. Care should be taken in planning
of landscaping adjacent to the residence to avoid features which would pond water adjacent
to the foundations or stemwalls. Plants which require an irrigation system and/or cause
substantial fluctuations in the moisture content of the subgrade soils should not be placed
adjacent to the structure. Lawn watering systems should not be placed within 5 feet of the
perimeter of the building. Spray heads should be designed to spray water away from the
structure. Roof drains should be designed to discharge at least 5 feet away from the
structure and away from paved areas.
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 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

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).
