Re: Supplemental Preliminary Subsurface Exploration Report
Proposed Mixed Used Development – Rudolph Farms – Approximately 130-Acres
Northeast Corner of Prospect Road and Interstate 25
Fort Collins, Colorado
EEC Project No. 1222014
Mr. Byler:
Enclosed, herewith, are the results of the supplemental preliminary subsurface exploration completed
by Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC) for the proposed multi-family / mixed use development
planned for construction at the northeast corner of East Prospect Road and Interstate 25 in Fort Collins,
Colorado. For this exploration, EEC personnel advanced eight (8) supplemental preliminary soil
borings to depths of approximately 15 to 30 feet below present site grades at pre-selected locations
within the various proposed building footprints and associated on-site pavement improvements, (please
refer to the “Norris Design” proposed conceptual site development plan included in the Appendix).
Additional information was available to us from a previous “Preliminary Subsurface Exploration”
completed by EEC in April 2005, which were referenced to in preparing this report. This exploration
was completed in general accordance with our proposal dated January 17, 2022.
In summary, the subsurface conditions encountered beneath the surficial vegetation/wheat/weed
agricultural field generally consisted of 4½ to 10 feet of cohesive to slightly cohesive lean clay with
sand to clayey sand soils extending to granular sand with clay and gravel soils. The cohesive soils were
generally dry to moist, medium stiff / medium dense and exhibited nil to low swell potential with slight
tendency to hydro-compact at current moisture and density conditions. Sand with clay and gravel soils
were encountered below the cohesive to slightly cohesive soils and were extended to depth explored;
approximately 15 feet below the ground surface at boring B-15 and to a stratum of clayey sand with
various amounts of sand and gravel and interbedded lean clay/sand and gravel seams at depths of 14½
to 19 feet below the site grades at the remaining borings. Sand with clay and gravel soils were
generally moist and loose to very dense. The clayey sand soils underlain by granular subsoils extended
to the bottom of the advanced borings at depths of approximately 15 to 30 feet below the site grades
and were generally moist to saturated and loose to medium dense at current moisture and density

SUPPLEMENTAL PRELIMINARY SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION REPORT
PROPOSED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT – RUDOLPH FARMS PROPERTY
NORTHEAST CORNER OF PROSPECT ROAD AND INTERSTATE 25
FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
EEC PROJECT NO. 1222014
June 3, 2022
INTRODUCTION
The supplemental preliminary subsurface exploration for the residential, multi-family / mixed use
development – approximately 130-acres Rudolph Farms property planned for construction at the
northeast corner of Prospect Road and Interstate 25 (I-25) in Fort Collins, Colorado, has been
completed. For this supplemental preliminary exploration, Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
(EEC) advanced eight (8) preliminary soil borings to depths of approximately 15 to 30 feet below
present site grades at pre-selected locations within the various building footprints and associated on-
site pavement improvement areas, as presented on the enclosed site plans. Upon completion of the
drilling operations, four (4) of the open bore holes were converted to temporary PVC cased
piezometer. Additionally, EEC had performed a previous “Preliminary Subsurface Exploration” in
April 2005 and the information and findings of that exploration were referenced herein, we have
included in the Appendix of this report boring logs from our previous study, Project No. 1052027.
Individual preliminary boring logs and the enclosed site plans indicating the approximate boring
locations are included with this report. This exploration was completed in general accordance with
our proposal dated January 27, 2022.
We understand the approximate 130-acre parcel will be developed for residential including single
family, multi-family, and assisted living units, non-residential including retail/commercial, offices,
self-storage and industrial purposes along with interior infrastructure including roadway, utilities,
and two (2) ditch crossing structures as depicted on the enclosed site diagrams. Foundation loads are
estimated to be light with maximum continuous wall loads on the order of approximately 1 to 3 kips
per linear foot (KLF) and maximum column loads on the order of approximately 25 to 100 kips.
Floor loads are expected to be light to moderate. If actual loads exceed those assumed herein or if
basement construction is being considered for the site, we should be consulted to review and modify
the recommendations accordingly, if necessary. The pavements are expected to include areas for
light duty automobile traffic as well as areas for heavier duty traffic. Small grade changes, cuts and
fills less than 10 feet (+/-), are expected to develop site grades for the proposed development.
The purpose of this report is to describe the subsurface conditions encountered in the test borings,
analyze and evaluate the test data and provide geotechnical recommendations concerning design and

construction of foundations, support of floor slabs and exterior flatwork, and design of pavements
for the proposed development.
EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES
The supplemental boring locations were established in the field by representatives from EEC by
pacing and estimating angles from identifiable site features with the aid of a hand-held GPS unit
using appropriate Google Earth coordinates. Those approximate boring locations are indicated on
the attached boring location diagram. The locations of the borings should be considered accurate
only to the degree implied by the methods used to make the field measurements. Photographs of the
site taken at the time of drilling are included with this report.
The borings were performed 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. After completion of the drilling operations, temporary
PVC/piezometer pipe was installed in four (4) of the preliminary borings for supplemental
groundwater measurement purposes. These PVC casings were removed upon readings
approximately a weeks after drilling. 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 with 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 and hardness of weathered bedrock. 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. Atterberg
limits and washed sieve analysis tests were completed on select samples to evaluate the quantity and
plasticity of fines in the subgrade samples. Swell/consolidation tests were completed on selected
samples to evaluate the potential for the subgrade materials to change volume with variation in
moisture and load. Soluble sulfate tests were completed on select samples to evaluate potential
adverse reactions to site-cast concrete. 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 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 approximately 130-acres development area is located at north of Prospect Road and
east of Interstate 25 in Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado. A majority of the project site is
presently undeveloped and planted in crops. Residential structures and outbuildings are located in
the northwest corner of the site and the recently completed Prospect High School athletic
stadium/field is located beyond the southwest corner of the site. Site drainage is generally towards
the south. The relief across is the site is approximately estimated to be on the order of 20 feet. Cache
La Poudre and Lake Canal ditches flow northwest to southeast across the south half of the site.
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.
The subsurface soils encountered beneath surficial vegetation, generally consisted of 4½ to 10 feet of
cohesive to slightly cohesive lean clay with sand to clayey sand soils extending to granular sand with
clay and gravel soils. The cohesive soils were generally dry to moist, medium stiff / medium dense
and exhibited nil to low swell potential with slight tendency to hydro-compact at current moisture
and density conditions. Sand with clay and gravel soils were encountered below the cohesive to
slightly cohesive soils and were extended to depth explored; approximately 15 feet below the ground
surface at boring B-15 and to a stratum of clayey sand with various amounts of sand and gravel and
interbedded lean clay/sand and gravel seams at depths of 14½ to 19 feet below the site grades at the
remaining borings. Sand with clay and gravel soils were generally moist and loose to very dense.
The clayey sand soils underlain by granular subsoils extended to the bottom of the advanced borings
at depths of approximately 15 to 30 feet below the site grades and were generally moist to saturated
and loose to medium dense at current moisture and density conditions.

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 CONDITIONS
Observations were made while drilling and on May 27, 2022, within the installed temporary
piezometers, to detect the presence and level of groundwater. At the time of drilling and on May 27,
2022, groundwater was observed in the supplemental preliminary test borings at depths ranging from
approximately 8 to 12 feet below existing site grades. The measured depths to groundwater are
recorded near the upper right-hand corner of each boring log included with this report. The borings
were backfilled after drilling / upon the follow up measurements on May 27, 2022, therefore
subsequent groundwater measurements were not possible. The groundwater measurements provided
with this report are indicative of groundwater levels at the location and at the time the measurements
were completed.
Perched and/or trapped water may be encountered in more permeable zones in the subgrade soils at
times throughout the year. Perched water is commonly encountered in soils immediately overlying
less permeable bedrock materials. Fluctuations in ground water levels and in the location and
amount of perched water may occur over time depending on variations in hydrologic conditions,
irrigation activities on surrounding properties and other conditions not apparent at the time of this
report.
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Swell – Consolidation Test Results
The swell-consolidation test is performed to evaluate the swell or collapse potential of soils or bedrock
to help determine foundation, floor slab, and pavement design criteria. In this test, relatively intact
samples obtained directly from the California barrel sampler are placed in a laboratory apparatus and
inundated with water under a predetermined load. All inundated samples are monitored for swell and
consolidation. The swell-index is the resulting amount of swell or collapse after inundation, expressed
as a percent of the sample’s initial thickness. After the initial inundation period, additional incremental
loads are applied to evaluate the swell pressure and consolidation.

For this assessment, we conducted nine (9) swell-consolidation tests on samples recovered from
various intervals/depths. The swell index values for the in-situ soil samples analyzed revealed low
to moderate 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 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 presented
below to provide uniformity in terminology between geotechnical engineers to provide a relative
correlation of 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.

Based on the laboratory test results, the swell samples analyzed for this project at current moisture
contents and dry densities conditions were generally within nil to low swell range and showed slight
tendency to hydro-compact when inundated with water.

General Considerations
General guidelines are provided below for the site subgrade preparation. However, it should be
noted that compaction and moisture requirements vary between home builders and, consequently,
between geotechnical engineering companies. If the development lots will be marketed to a target
group of builders, fill placement criteria should be obtained from those builders and/or their
geotechnical engineering consultants prior to beginning earthwork activities on the site.
Representatives from those entities should verify that the fill is being placed consistent with the
home builders’ guidelines.
Based on our field and laboratory testing information, the overburden soils on this lot include
approximately 4½ to 8 feet of lean clay with sand to clayey sand soils overlying gravel/sand soils
underlain by a stratum of saturated clayey sand with various amount of gravel and clay. Low swell
potential was exhibited by the near surface clay samples.
Groundwater was observed at depths of 8 and 12 feet below the ground surface in the borings. We
suggest that floor slab subgrade(s) be placed a minimum of 4 feet above the maximum anticipated
rise in groundwater levels. If final site grading consists of cuts extending floor slabs to less than 4
feet above the maximum anticipated rise in groundwater, consideration could be given to designing
and installing a perimeter drainage system or to elevating/raising the site grades to establish the
minimum required 4-foot separation to the maximum anticipated rise in groundwater.
Site Preparation
All existing vegetation and/or topsoil should be removed from beneath site fills, roadways or
building subgrade areas. Stripping depths should be expected to vary, depending on current surface
elevations. In addition, any soft/loose native soils or any existing fill materials without
documentation of controlled fill placement should be removed from improvement and/or new fill
areas.
After stripping and completing all cuts and prior to placement of any fill, floor slabs or pavements,
we recommend the exposed soils 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 D698, the standard Proctor procedure. The moisture content of
the scarified materials should be adjusted to be within a range of 2% of standard Proctor optimum
moisture at the time of compaction.
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1222014
June 3, 2022
Page 7
In general, fill materials required to develop the building areas or site pavement subgrades should
consist of approved, low-volume change materials which are free from organic matter and debris.
The near surface lean clay with sand to clayey sand soils could be used as fill in these areas. We
recommend the fill soils be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9 inches thick, adjusted in moisture
content and compacted to at least 95% of the material’s maximum dry density as determined in
accordance with the standard Proctor procedure. The moisture content of predominately clay soils
should be adjusted to be within the range of ±2% of optimum moisture content at the time of
placement. Granular soil should be adjusted to a workable moisture content.
Specific explorations should be completed for each building/individual residential lot to develop
recommendations specific to the proposed structure and owner/builder and for specific pavement
sections. The preliminary recommendations provided in this report are, by necessity, general in
nature and would be superseded by site specific explorations/recommendations.
Care should be taken after preparation of the subgrades to avoid disturbing the subgrade materials.
Positive drainage should be developed away from structures and across and away from pavement
edges to avoid wetting of subgrade materials. Subgrade materials allowed to become wetted
subsequent to construction of the residences and/or pavements can result in unacceptable
performance of those improvements.
Foundation Systems – General Considerations
Based on the soils observed at the test boring locations, we believe the buildings could be supported
on conventional footing foundations bearing on approved in-situ site soils or on a zone of approved
placed and compacted fill material prepared as outlined above. Footings bearing on approved in-situ
native soils or on approved engineered fill material placed and compacted as described above could
be designed for a maximum net allowable total load soil bearing pressure ranging between 1,500 to
2,500 psf. A minimum dead load pressure would not be required. The net bearing pressure refers to
the pressure at foundation bearing level in excess of the minimum surrounding overburden pressure.
Total load includes full dead load and live load conditions.
After completing a site-specific/lot-specific geotechnical exploration study, a thorough “open-
hole/foundation excavation” observation should be performed prior to foundation formwork
placement to verify the suitability of the in-place soils and determine the extent of any possible over
excavation and replacement procedures, if necessary.
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1222014
June 3, 2022
Page 8
After placement of the fill materials, for foundation support, care should be taken to avoid wetting or
drying of those materials. Bearing 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 or reworked in place prior to construction of the overlying improvements.
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 16 inches and isolated column foundations have a minimum width of 30 inches
We estimate the total long-term settlement of footings designed as outlined above would be about 1-
inch.
Preliminary Floor Slab/Exterior Flatwork Subgrades
We recommend all existing vegetation/topsoil be removed from beneath the floor slab and exterior
flatwork areas as previously outlined. After stripping and completing all cuts and prior to placement
of any flatwork concrete or fill, the exposed subgrades should be scarified, adjusted in moisture
content and compacted. If the subgrades become dry and desiccated prior to floor slab construction,
it may be necessary to rework the subgrades prior to floor slab placement.
Fill soils required to develop the floor slab subgrades should consist of approved, low-volume
change materials which are free from organic matter and debris. Those fill materials should be
placed as previously outlined and surcharged/preloaded and/or monitored as necessary to limit total
and differential movement after construction of overlying improvements.
Preliminary Basement Design and Construction
Groundwater was encountered across the site within the preliminary soil borings at approximate
depths of 8 to 12 feet below existing site grades. If lower level construction for either garden-level
or 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 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
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1222014

Page 9
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 also be considered, which as previously mentioned, would be to
install an interior and exterior perimeter drainage system for each individual residence. To reduce
the potential for groundwater to enter the lower level/basement area of the structure(s), installation of
a dewatering system is recommended. The dewatering system should, at a minimum, include an
under-slab gravel drainage layer sloped to an interior perimeter drainage system. The following
provide preliminary design recommendations for interior and exterior perimeter drainage systems.
The under-slab 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 under-slab 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 under-slab 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.

Seismic Site Classification
The site soil conditions consist of lean clay with sand to clayey sand soils underlain by sand with
clay and gravel soils overlaying a stratum of clayey sand. For those site conditions, the International
Building Code indicates a Seismic Site Classification of D.
Preliminary Pavement Subgrades
Fill materials required to develop the pavement subgrades should consist of approved, low-volume
change materials, free from organic matter and debris. Imported structural fill materials similar to
CDOT Class 5, 6 or 7 base course material could be used in these areas. We recommend those fill
soils be placed as recommended in the Site Preparation section of this report.
The essentially cohesive soils may show strength loss and instability when wetted. Stabilization of
those subgrades could be necessary at the time of construction to develop a stable platform for
subsequent paving. Stabilization could be predesigned into the subgrades to mitigate swell, and the
stabilized subgrades would be considered a part of the pavement section. Consideration could be
given to a fly ash treatment concept for swell mitigation and/or stabilization, should pumping
conditions develop.
If a subgrade stabilization concept is chosen/required, consideration could be given to incorporating
Class C fly ash within the upper 12-inches of the site pavements prior to construction of the
overlying pavement structure. Stabilization should consist of blending 13% by dry weight of Class
C fly ash in the top 12 inches of the subgrades. The blended materials should be adjusted in moisture
content to slightly dry of standard Proctor optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95%
of the material’s maximum dry density as determined in accordance with the standard Proctor
procedure. Compaction of the subgrade should be completed within two hours after initial blending
of the Class C fly ash.
Pavement sections are based on assumed traffic volumes and subgrade strength characteristics.
Based on the materials encountered, we believe an estimated R-value of 10 would be appropriate for
design of the pavements supported on the subgrade soils. Suggested preliminary pavement sections
for the light duty and heavy-duty on-site pavement improvement sections are provided below in
Table III. A final pavement design thickness evaluation will be determined when a pavement design
exploration is completed (after subgrades are developed to ± 6 inches of design and wet utilities
installed).

Hot mix asphalt (HMA) underlain by aggregate base course, or a non-reinforced concrete pavement
may be feasible options for the proposed on-site paved sections. HMA pavements may show rutting
and distress in areas of heavy truck traffic or in truck loading and turning areas. Concrete pavements
should be considered in those areas.

requirements for Class 5 or Class 6 aggregate base.
As previously mentioned, a final subgrade investigation and pavement design should be performed
in general accordance with Weld County/city of Greely standards prior to placement of any
pavement sections, to determine the required pavement section after design configurations, roadway
utilities have been installed and roadway have been prepared to “rough” subgrade elevations have
been completed.
Underground Utility Systems
All piping should be adequately bedded for proper load distribution. It is suggested that clean, graded
gravel compacted to 70 percent of Relative Density ASTM D4253 be used as bedding. Where utilities
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1222014

Page 12
are excavated below groundwater, temporary dewatering will be required during excavation, pipe
placement and backfilling operations for proper construction. Utility trenches should be excavated on
safe and stable slopes in accordance with OSHA regulations as further discussed herein. Backfill
should consist of the on-site soils or approved imported materials. The pipe backfill should be
compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D698.
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 IV - Water Soluble Sulfate Test Results
Sample Location Description % of Soil by Weight
B-8 S-2 4' Clayey Sand (SC) 0.06
B-9 S-4 14' Sand with Clay and Gravel 0.04
B-14 S-1 4' Sandy Lean Clay (CL) 0.09
Based on the results as presented above, ACI 318, Section 4.2 indicates the site 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. 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 structure with a minimum slope of 1-inch per
foot for the first 10-feet away from the improvements in landscape areas. Flatter slopes could be
used in hardscapes areas although positive drainage should be maintained. Care should be taken in
planning of landscaping adjacent to the building, parking, and drive areas to avoid features which
would pond water adjacent to the pavements, foundations, or stem walls. 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.

Excavations into the on-site soils may encounter a variety of conditions. Excavations into the on-site
lean clay soils can be expected to stand on relatively steep temporary slopes during construction
while excavations extending to the gravel/sand soils may experience caving/sloughing. 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,
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 during earthwork phases to help determine that the
design requirements are fulfilled.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use for Pacific North Enterprises, LLC. for specific
application to the project discussed and has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
geotechnical engineering practices. No warranty, express or implied, is made. In the event that any
changes in the nature, design, or location of the project as outlined in this report are planned, the
conclusions and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid unless the
changes are reviewed and the conclusions of this report are modified or verified in writing by the
geotechnical engineer.

Water levels indicated on the boring logs are the levels measured in the borings at the time indicated. In pervious soils, the indicated
levels may reflect the location of ground water. In low permeability soils, the accurate determination of ground water levels is not
possible with only short term 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).
