Re: Subsurface Exploration Report
Proposed Development – Prospect Road and Interstate 25
Evaluation of Groundwater/Subsurface Conditions and Installation of 4 Piezometers
Fort Collins, Colorado
EEC Project No. 1152086
Mr. McKenna:
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC) personnel have completed the subsurface exploration
and the installation of requested four (4) piezometers/groundwater monitoring well /
measurement devices for the referenced project. The purpose of our assessment was to provide a
mechanism to measure and evaluate the groundwater fluctuations and characteristics across the
property to assist the design team, primarily Ayres Associates, Inc., for a possible area
underdrain system. This study was completed in general accordance with our proposal dated
August 12, 2015.
SITE EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES
As part of this study, EEC personnel completed four (4) soil borings at the approximate locations
as indicated on the site diagram included with this report. The borings were extended to depths
ranging from approximately 19 to 39 feet below existing site grades. Upon completion of the
drilling operations the bore holes were converted to PVC cased piezometers/monitoring wells
(MW’s) for future measurement of groundwater levels and for use to develop groundwater
characteristics. Results of the field and laboratory testing completed for this assessment are
included with this report.
The four (4) soil borings/piezometers/MW locations were established in the field by EEC
personnel by pacing from identifiable site features at locations accessible to our drilling
equipment. The approximate boring/piezometer locations are indicated on the attached boring

location diagram. The approximate location for each boring/piezometer should be considered
accurate only to the degree implied by the methods used to make the field measurements.
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 procedures, 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 the laboratory for further examination,
classification and testing.
After completing the drilling and sampling, and prior to removal of the hollow stem augers, PVC
cased piezometers were installed in the open boreholes through the hollow stem augers. The
piezometers were constructed with 2-inch nominal diameter schedule 40 manufactured well
screen and riser pipe. In general, the piezometers consisted of either an approximate 5 or 10-foot
section of flush threaded slotted well screen at the bottom of the boreholes with flush threaded
solid riser pipe, as required, to extend the piezometers above ground level. The Ayres
Associates’ monitoring well detail suggested only a 5-foot slotted well screen, at the base,
however a 10-foot section as approved by the on-site representative from Ayres Associates was
installed in MW No. 3. The screen portion of the piezometers/MW’s 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. Cross-sectional schematics of the piezometer/MW 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 attached with this report. 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 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. Piezometer installation was completed by a licensed water well
driller 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 contents on all samples.
Washed sieve analysis and Atterberg limits tests were completed on selected samples to evaluate
the soil’s quantity and plasticity of fines. Washed sieve analyses were also completed on
selected samples to evaluate the grain size distribution of the subgrade 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 a part of the testing program, all samples were examined in the laboratory and classified in
accordance with the attached General Notes and the Unified Soil Classification System, based on
the soils’ texture and plasticity. The estimated group symbol for Unified Soil Classification
System is indicated on the boring logs and a brief description of that classification system is
included with this report.
SUBSURFACE SOIL and GROUNDATER CONDITIONS
Based on results of the field borings and laboratory testing, subsurface conditions can be
generalized as follows. The surficial materials at the boring locations generally consisted of
sparse vegetation and/or topsoil. The surficial materials were generally underlain by cohesive
subsoils classified as lean clay, lean clay with sand and/or sandy lean clay. The cohesive soils
were generally soft/medium stiff and extended to the underlying fine to coarse granular silty sand
with gravel strata below. These granular soils were medium dense to dense with increased
depths and were generally encountered at depths of approximately 7 to 12 feet below site grades
and extended to the underlying bedrock formation below. The Pierre Shale bedrock formation,
identified as interbedded claystone/siltstone/sandstone, was encountered across the site at depths
ranging from approximately 16 to 36 feet below present site grade elevations.
The stratification boundaries indicated on the boring logs represent the approximate location of
changes in soil and bedrock types; in-situ, the transition of materials may be gradual and
indistinct.

Observations were made while drilling, immediately after completion of the borings/ installation
of the piezometers, and on September 22, 2015, as noted on each of the enclosed Log of Borings,
to detect the presence and depth of measureable water levels. As indicated on the enclosed
boring/piezometer logs, depth to groundwater ranged from approximately 4-1/2 to 12-1/2 feet
below existing site grades. The groundwater level measurements are indicated in the upper right
hand corner of the boring/piezometer logs. 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. Groundwater level measurements indicated on the boring logs represent the
depth of groundwater at the specific time and location of the measurements completed.
Based upon review of U.S. Geological Survey maps (1Hillier, et al, 1983), regional groundwater is
expected to be encountered in unconsolidated alluvial deposits at depths ranging from
approximately 5 to 10 feet below the existing ground surface at the project site. Included in the
Appendix of this report is a “cut-section” of the USGS’s “Depth to the Water Table” diagram
depicting the subject I-25 and Prospect Road Development property, which is situated west of
Interstate 25 and north of Prospect Road. This area, as shown on the “Hillier, Donald E.;
Schneider, Paul A., Jr.; and Hutchinson, E. Carter, 1983, Depth to Water Table (1979) in the
Boulder-Fort Collins-Greeley Area, Front Range Urban Corridor, Colorado, United States
Geological Survey, Map I-855-I map, illustrates the anticipated depth of groundwater between 5 to
10 feet.
Zones of perched and/or trapped groundwater may occur at times in the subsurface soils
overlying bedrock, on top of the bedrock surface or within permeable fractures in the bedrock
materials. The location and amount of perched water is dependent upon several factors,
including hydrologic conditions, type of site development, irrigation demands on or adjacent to
the site, and seasonal and weather conditions. These observations represent groundwater
conditions at the time of the field exploration, and may not be indicative of other times, or at
other locations.
GENERAL COMMENTS
The analysis and information presented in this report is based upon the data obtained from the
soil borings performed at the indicated locations as discussed in this report. This report does not

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).
