Re: Foundation Excavation Observation

Fort Collins, Colorado
Northern Colorado Geotech Project No. 048-07
On July 9, 2008, a representative of Northern Colorado Geotech performed an excavation observation
for a residence under construction at the above referenced site in the Fossil Lake Subdivision in Fort
Collins, Colorado.
The soil exposed at the upper and lower footing levels consisted of sandy lean clay. These materials
are similar to those encountered by Northern Colorado Geotech during our subsurface exploration at
the site (Project No. 048-07, dated May 4, 2007). Based on our observations and the
recommendations of the geotechnical engineering report, it is our opinion that the proposed residence
may be supported by a spread footing foundation system. The foundation should be designed in
accordance with the recommendations and specifications provided in the geotechnical engineering
report.
Groundwater or bedrock was not encountered within two feet of the lower footing level. However, as
a precaution, we recommend the installation of an exterior perimeter drain around the lower level of
the structure. The dewatering system should be constructed in accordance with recommendations of
the geotechnical engineering report.
If you have any questions about this letter or if we may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate
to contact us at (970) 506-9244.
