GEOTECHNICAL SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION REPORT
EAST OAK TOWNHOMES
FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
EEC PROJECT NO. 23-01-183
December 18, 2023
INTRODUCTION:
Earth Engineering Company, Inc. (EEC) personnel have completed the geotechnical subsurface
exploration you requested for the proposed multi-family townhome development to be constructed
at 220 East Oak Street in Fort Collins, Colorado. Results of the subsurface exploration are provided
in this report.
We understand the proposed townhome buildings will be a three-story wood frame structures. 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 structures.
The purpose of this report is to describe the subsurface conditions encountered in the test barings
completed within and near 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 building locations are situated in an area to the northwest of the intersection of
Matthews Street and East Oak Street in Fort Collins, Colorado. Site infrastructure, including
pavements and utilities, has already been installed along with existing buildings located within the
building envelopes.
To develop information on existing subsurface conditions in the area of the proposed townhome
structures, three (3) 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 inaterials 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 natural brown to reddish brown sandy lean clay soils.
The natural sandy lean clay soils encountered in the borings were medium stiff to very stiff in
consistency and contained gravel. The moderately plastic sandy lean clay soils exhibited a low
potential for swelling and a low to moderate potential for consolidation at current moisture and
density conditions. The sandy lean clay soils were underlain by brown sand and gravel materials
at a depth of approxunately 6 to 8 feet below present site grades at the completed site borings. The
sand and gravel materials encountered in the borings were medium dense to very dense in
consistency, contained cobbles and were underlain by grey/tan and rust sandstone/claystone
bedrock at a depth of approximately 16 feet below present site grades. The sandstone/claystone
bedrock was hard in consistency and e�ibited a low potential for swelling with variation in
moisture content at current moisture/density conditions. The sandstone/claystone bedrock
extended to the bottom of boring B-1 at a depth of approximately 20 feet below present site grades.
The sandstone/claystone bedrock encountered at borings B-2 and B-3 were underlain by grey shale
bedrock at a depth of approximately 27 and 23 feet below present site grades at borings B-2 and
B-3, respectively. The shale bedrock encountered at borings B-2 and B-3 was hard in consistency
and exhibited a low potential for swelling with variation in moisture content at current
moisture/density conditions. The shale bedrock extended to the bottom of borings B-2 and B-3 at
a depth of approximately 25 and 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, free water was not observed in the completed site barings on this property. Approximately
24 hours after drilling, borings B-1 and B-2 were backfilled and free water was observed at a depth

of approximately 24 feet below present site grades at boring B-3. 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 tiine 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 inay 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
General
It is our understanding the existing buildings located at the site will be removed prior to
construction of the new townhome structures. We recommend the existing concrete foundation
and any other concrete elements be entirely removed from the existing buildings prior to
construction of the new structure. Some areas of backfill near the old buildings may be encountered
during demolition and removal of the structures. To reduce the potential for differential movement
in the foundation and floor slabs subsequent to construction, we recommend all foundation
footings extend down to the natural essentially granular materials.
The near surface site soils observed are comprised of sandy lean clay soils underlain by essentially
granular materials at a depth of approximately 6 to 8 feet below present site grades. To reduce the
potential for differential movement in the foundations subsequent to construction, we recommend
all foundation footings extend through the sandy lean clay soils and be constructed to bear directly
EEC Project No. 23-01-183
December 18, 2023

on the deeper sand and gravel materials. Based on the observed depth to the essentially granular
materials at the completed borings, we estimate the depth of the at-grade (i.e. garage) footing
foundation bearing levels would be approximately 6 to 8 feet below present site grades resulting
in `tall' at-grade (i.e. garage) foundation walls.
Foundations
Based on the materials observed at the test boring locations, it is our opinion the proposed lightly
loaded multi-family residences could be supported on conventional footing foundations bearing in
the near surface low swell potential essentially granular materials. We recommend all foundation
footings extend through the sandy lean clay soils and be constructed to bear directly on the low
swell potential essentially granular materials. For design of footing foundations bearing in the
medium dense to very dense essentially granular materials, 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.
Total load should include full dead and live loads.
Exterior foundations and foundations in unheated areas should be located at least 30 inches below
adjacent exterior grade to provide frost cover protection. We recommend formed continuous
footings have a ininimum 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 movement of footing foundations designed and constructed as recommended above
would be less than 1 inch.
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
EEC Project No. 23-01-183

foundation excavation prior to the placement of foundation concrete. We estimate the long-term
movement of footing foundations designed and constructed as outlined above would be less than
1 inch.
Floor Slab and Exterior Slab-on-Grade Sub�rades
Any existing vegetation and/or topsoil should be removed from floor slab 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°/o of the material's maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM
Speciiication D-698, the standard Proctor procedure. The inoisture content of the scarified soils
should be adjusted to be within the range of±2% of standard Proctar optimum moisture at the time
of compaction. Scarification and compaction of subgrades in the basement areas of the structures
would not be required.
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. It is our opinion the on-site 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 inaterials 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. We also
recommend isolating the baseinent 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
floar joist. Care should be exercised when framing doars, drywalling and finishing to maintain a
voided space which will allow for inovement of the floor slab without transmission of stresses to
the overlying structure.
EEC Project No. 23-01-183
December 18, 2023

While laboratory testing completed for this report indicated the site soils sampled exhibited
relatively low swell potential, floor slab and exterior flatworlc 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.
Below Grade Areas
We recommend a perimeter drain system be placed around all below grade areas to help reduce
the potential for hydrostatic loads developing on below grade walls and/or seepage of infiltration
water into below grade areas of the structure. In general, a perimeter drain system would consist
of perforated metal or plastic pipe placed around the exterior perimeter of the structure and sloped
to gravity drain to a sump area or free outfall where reverse flow cannot occur in the system. The
drain line should be surrounded by a minimum of 6 inches of appropriately sized granular filter
soil and either the drain line or filter soil should be surrounded by an appropriate filter fabric to
reduce the potential for an influx of fines into the system.
Backfill placed above the perimeter drain system should consist of approved, low-volume change
fill materials which are free from organic matter and debris. The on-site soils could be used for
backfill in these areas. If free draining soils are used as backfill, the top 2 feet should be an
essentially cohesive material to help reduce the potential for immediate surface water infiltration
into the backfill. We recommend those fill materials be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9 inches
thick, adjusted in moisture content and compacted to be within the range 94 to 98% of the material's
maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM Speciiication D-698, the standard
Proctor procedure. The moisture content of the backfill soils should be adjusted to be within the
range of -1 % to +3% of standard Proctor optimum moisture at the time of compaction. Care should
be taken during backiill placement to avoid placing excessive lateral stresses on the below grade
walls.
Basement walls for residential structures are commonly designed using an active lateral stress
distribution analysis. In that analysis, slight rotation/deflection of the basement wall is assumed.
A deflection equal to approximately 0.5°/o times the height of the wall may be assumed for
EEC Project No. 23-01-183
December 18, 2023
Page 7
Earth Engineering Coinpany, Inc.
development of the active stresses. That deflection can result in cracking of the basement wall
concrete, particularly towards the center of spans.
Based on an active stress distribution analysis, we recommend an equivalent fluid pressure of 45
pounds per cubic foot be used for design of the below grade walls. That equivalent fluid pressure
does not include a factor of safety nor an allowance for hydrostatic loads. Surcharge loads placed
adjacent to the tops of the walls or point loads placed within the wall backfill can also add to the
lateral stresses on the below grade walls.
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
struchire. 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 during earthwork and foundation construction
phases to help determine that the design requirements are fulfilled.

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 oftheir 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).
