Mr. Moss and Mr. Hancock:
Enclosed, herewith, are the results of the supplemental preliminary (FINAL) subsurface exploration
completed by Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC personnel for the referenced project. A total of
seventeen (17) preliminary soil borings were drilled on April 2 and 5, 2024 at the approximate locations
as indicated on the enclosed Boring Location Diagrams included with this report. The borings were
extended to depths of approximately 15½ to 25½ feet below existing site grades. Individual boring logs,
including groundwater observations, and results of laboratory testing are included as a part of the
attached report. It should be noted that in 2017, Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC (EEC) conducted
a preliminary subsurface exploration for the overall 800-acre site by drilling a series of thirty (30) test
borings throughout the property and preparing a report with our findings. For further information and
preliminary recommendations based on the 2017 subsurface exploration, please refer to our Preliminary
Subsurface Exploration Report dated October 2, 2017, EEC Project No. 1172058. Three (3) borings
during the initial preliminary subsurface exploration, (borings B-6, B-12, and B-13) were generally
located within the Phase D development as indicated with blue color on the enclosed Boring Location
Diagrams. This exploration was completed in general accordance with our proposal dated March 13,
2024.
In summary, the subgrades underlying the surficial vegetation/topsoil generally consisted of cohesive
soils classified as lean clay with varying amounts of sand extending to the bottom of the completed
borings at borings B-13 and B-17, approximately 15 and 15½, respectively, below the existing ground
surface or to the underlying granular materials at approximate depths of 7 to 16 feet below the ground
surface at the remining borings. The lean clay to sandy lean clay soils were generally dry to moist to
wet, very soft to very stiff, and exhibited nil to low swell potential with a slight tendency to hydro-

INTRODUCTION
The supplemental preliminary (FINAL) subsurface exploration for the proposed approximate 40-
acre mixed used – Montava Development, Phase D, located at the northwest corner of Mountain
Vista Drive and North Giddings Road, in north Fort Collins, Colorado has been completed. For
this exploration, a total of seventeen (17) supplemental preliminary soil borings were drilled on
April 2 and April 5, 2024, at the approximate locations as indicated on the enclosed Boring
Location Diagrams included with this report. The seventeen (17) supplemental preliminary soil
borings were advanced to depths of approximately 15 to 25½ feet below existing site grades across
the proposed development property to obtain information on existing subsurface conditions. Upon
completion of the drilling operations, six (6) of the open bore holes were converted to temporary
PVC cased piezometers. Additionally, information from a preliminary subsurface exploration
completed by EEC dated October 2, 2017, EEC Project No. 1172058, was available to us which
was referenced for preparation of this report. Three (3) borings during the initial preliminary
subsurface exploration, (boring B-6 B-12 and B-13) were generally located within the Phase D
development as indicated with blue color on the enclosed Boring Location Diagrams. Individual
boring logs and site diagrams indicating the approximate boring locations of the three (3) October
2017 and current borings, are included with this report.
We understand Phase D of the overall Montava Development is currently in the planning/design
process for single-family residential, duplex, townhomes, and mixed-use development as depicted
on the enclosed site plans provided to us by Montava Development, LLC personnel on March 11,
2024. Foundation loads for the proposed structures are anticipated to be light to moderate with
continuous wall loads less than 4 kips per lineal foot and individual column loads less than 250
kips. Floor loads are expected to be light. We anticipate maximum cuts and fills on the order of
approximately 5 feet (+/-) in general site areas. Overall site development will include construction
of associated pavements designed in general accordance with the Larimer County Urban Area
Street Standards (LCUASS) Pavement Design Criteria.

The purpose of this report is to describe the subsurface conditions encountered in the supplemental
preliminary borings, analyze and evaluate the test data and provide preliminary geotechnical
recommendations concerning site development including foundations, interior floor slabs, exterior
flatworks as well as pavement sections and the possibility for an area underdrain system to support
basement/underpass construction.
EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES
The preliminary 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 Diagrams.” The location 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, 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 techniques in general accordance with
ASTM Specifications D1586 and D3550, respectively.
In the split-barrel and California barrel sampling techniques, 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 samplers is recorded and is used to estimate the in-situ relative
density of cohesionless materials and, to a lesser degree of accuracy, the consistency of cohesive
soils and hardness of weathered bedrock. In the California barrel sampling procedure, samples of
the subsurface soils 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 performed on each of the recovered samples. In addition,
the unconfined strength of appropriate samples was estimated using a calibrated hand
penetrometer. Washed sieve analysis and Atterberg limits tests were completed on select samples
to evaluate the quantity and plasticity of the fines in the subgrade soils. Swell/consolidation tests
were completed on select samples to evaluate the potential for subgrade materials to change
volume with variation in moisture content and load. Water-soluble sulfate tests were performed

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 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 improvement area is generally located at the northwest corner of Mountain Vista
Drive and North Giddings Road in north Fort Collins, Colorado. Topsoil and vegetation/weeds
were encountered at the surface of the completed test borings. The proposed improvement areas
were relatively flat with an approximate relief of 10 feet across the site. Photographs of the site
taken at the time of drilling are provided with this report.
An EEC field engineer was 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 the results of
laboratory testing and evaluation. Based on the results of the field borings and laboratory
evaluation, subsurface conditions can be generalized as follows.
In summary, the subgrades underlying the surficial vegetation/topsoil generally consisted of
cohesive soils classified as lean clay with varying amounts of sand extending to the bottom of the
completed borings at borings B-13 and B-17, approximately 15 and 15½, respectively, below the
existing ground surface or to the underlying granular materials at approximate depths of 7 to 16
feet below the ground surface at the remining borings. The lean clay to sandy lean clay soils were
generally dry to moist to wet, very soft to very stiff, and exhibited nil to low swell potential with
a slight tendency to hydro-compact at current moisture and density conditions. Silty sand /sand
with varying amounts of silt and gravel was encountered below the upper cohesive soils and
extended to the bottom of the completed borings, approximately 15 to 25½ feet below existing

ground surface. The granular soils were generally loose to dense and are expected to have nil to
low swell potential.
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.
GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
Observations were made while drilling, after drilling and on April 9 and 22, 2024, within the
installed temporary piezometers, to detect the presence and level of groundwater. At the time of
drilling and on follow up dates mentioned, groundwater was observed in all of the preliminary test
borings except boring B-17 at depths ranging from approximately 2½ to 11 feet below the existing
ground surface. The measured depths to groundwater are recorded near the upper right-hand
corner of each boring log included with this report. The groundwater measurements provided with
this report are indicative of groundwater levels at the location and at the time the measurements
were completed. The groundwater directional flow is generally in the south direction.
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 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 analysis, we conducted eighteen (18) swell-consolidation tests. The (+) test result
indicates the material’s swell potential while the (-) test result indicates the material’s slight
collapse potential when inundated with water. The following table summarizes the swell-
consolidation laboratory test results.

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.

Based on the laboratory test results, samples of the overburden subsoils analyzed were within the
nil to low range of swell risk category with a tendency to hydro-compact when inundated with
water, and a tendency to consolidate with increased loads.
General Considerations
General guidelines are provided below for the site subgrade preparation. However, it should be
noted that compaction and moisture requirements vary between builders/owners 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.
The near surface cohesive soils were generally dry to wet, very soft to very stiff, exhibited nil to
low plasticity and nil to low swell characteristics along with a tendency to hydro-compact at
current moisture and density conditions. If the overburden soils were to become wetted subsequent
to construction of overlying improvements, settlements caused by soft/compressible overburden
soils could result in significant total and differential movement of site improvements. Therefore,
preliminary considerations and/or recommendations for an over excavation and replacement
concept to reduce the potential movement of foundations, floor slabs, and pavements, are included
herein. However, specific over-excavation depths and methods of reducing the potential for
movement are to be determined by the individual/lot-specific builder.
Groundwater was observed at depths of 2½ to 16 feet below the ground surface in the borings.
Depending on final site grades, 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 footings and floor slabs to less than 4 feet above the maximum anticipated rise in
groundwater, consideration could be given to designing and installing interior perimeter drainage
systems and/or 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/compressible 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.
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 and/or sand/silty 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.
The near surface clay soils will be subject to strength loss and instability when wet. Pumping of
the subgrades should be expected if the subgrades become wet before placement of overlying
pavements. In addition, the site soils may be subject to frost heaving with available moisture and
freezing temperatures. Positive drainage to prevent ponding of water in the site, including ponding
of snow melt, should be developed to reduce the potential for post construction frost heaving.
Care should be exercised after preparation of the subgrades to avoid disturbing the subgrade
materials. Positive drainage should be developed away from the structures and pavements to avoid
wetting of subgrade materials. Subgrade materials becoming wet subsequent to construction of
the site improvements can result in unacceptable performance.

Foundation Systems – Preliminary General Considerations
The overburden soils require particular attention in the design and construction to reduce the amount
of movement/differential movement due to the in-situ characteristics. The following foundation
system was evaluated for use on the site; however, final subsurface explorations should be performed
after building footprints and elevations have been better defined and actual design loads determined
and better determine the depth of over-excavation:
• Spread Footing foundations bearing on approved fill material. If spread footings are chosen,
the depth of any required over excavation and replacement or improvement of the cohesive
soils should be considered below the bottom of the footings during the supplemental/lot-
specific subsurface exploration phase. If greater potential for movement cannot be tolerated,
alternative foundation systems such as drilled pier foundations could be used. All footings
should bear on a uniform zone of material to minimize the potential of differential movement
of dissimilar soils.
Should other alternative foundation systems be considered, we would be pleased to provide
additional recommendations upon request.
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
With the exception of boring B-17, groundwater was encountered across the site within the
supplemental preliminary soil borings at approximate depths of 2-1/2 to 11 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, and a combination exterior and
interior perimeter drainage system(s) be installed.
Consideration could be given to 1) either designing and installing an area wide 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 designing and installing 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 also be considered, as previously mentioned, and 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
provides 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 of 1/8 inch per foot to a suitable outlet, such as a sump and pump system.
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1172058
April 22, 2024
Page 10
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.
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 Portland cement / 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
4% and 13% by dry weight of Portland cement and Class C fly ash, respectively, 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
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1172058
April 22, 2024
Page 11
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.

Asphalt surfacing should consist of grading S-75 or SX-75 hot bituminous pavement with PG 64-
22 or PG 58-28 binder in accordance with Larimer County Urban Area Street Standard (LCUASS).
Aggregate base should be consistent with CDOT 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 LCUASS 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.
Water Soluble Sulfates
The water-soluble sulfate (SO4) testing of the on-site overburden soils taken during our subsurface
exploration at varying depths are provided in the table below. Based on the reported sulfate content
test results, this report includes a recommendation for the CLASS of cement for use for contact in
association with the on-site subsoils.
Table IV: Water Soluble Sulfate Test Results
Sample Location Description Soluble Sulfate Content (%)
B-3 S-1 4' Lean Clay with Sand (CL) 0.3
B-9 S-1 4' Lean Clay with Sand (CL) 1.63
B-13 S-2 9' Lean Clay with Sand (CL) 0.18
Based on the results as presented in table above, ACI 318, Section 4.2 indicates the site overburden
soils have a severe risk of sulfate attack on Portland cement concrete. Therefore, ACI Class S2
requirements should be used for concrete on and below site grade within the overburden soils and
bedrock. Foundation concrete should be designed in accordance with the provisions of the ACI
Design Manual, Section 318, Chapter 5.
Utilities
Excavations into the on-site subsurface soils may encounter a variety of conditions. Shallow cuts
in the very near surface soils would be expected to stand on relatively steep temporary slopes;
however, cuts extending to greater depths could expose soft/loose unstable soils and groundwater.
Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC
EEC Project No. 1172058
April 22, 2024
Page 13
The wet and non-cohesive granular soils may be unstable in the trench excavations. Stabilization
of the sides and bottoms of some of the trenches and at least some dewatering should be anticipated
for deeper utilities. The individual contractor(s) should be made responsible for designing and
constructing stable, temporary excavations as required to maintain stability of both the
excavation’s 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.
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 adjacent to the buildings and parking and
drive areas to avoid features which would pond water adjacent to the pavement, 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. Lawn watering
systems should not be placed within 5 feet of the perimeter of the building and parking areas.
Spray heads should be designed not to spray water on or immediately adjacent to the structure or
site pavements. Roof drains should be designed to discharge at least 5 feet away from the structure
and away from the pavement areas.

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).
CONSISTENCY OF FINE‐GRAINED SOILS
