In order to understand the scope of the work intended under a permit application and expedite the
issuance of a permit it is important that complete information be provided. When reviewing a plan
and it's discovered that required information has not been provided by the applicant, this will result
in the delay of the permit issuance and in proceeding with building construction. The owner or
contractor shall be required to provide this information before the plan review can proceed. Other
plans that are in line for review may be given attention before the new information may be reviewed
after it has been provided to the Building Department.
Please review this document to determine if you have eno)lgh information to design your ·
project and provide adequate information to facilitate a plan review. Also, please consider
using a design professional for assistance in your design and a construction professional for
construction of your project. Any project with more than ten (10) occupants requires the
plans to be sealed by a Colorado Registered Design Professional. ,.
To provide for a more understandable plan in order to determine compliance with the building,
plumbing and mechanical codes, applicants are requested to review the following checklist prior to
and during design. Applicants are required to indicate appropriately and to submit the
completed checklist at time of application for a permit.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation for the Johnson
Residence on Lot 3, Johnson Taughenbau Mesa along County Road 320 in Garfield County,
Colorado. The purpose of the study was to develop recommendations for design and
construction of a residence on the subject site.
The field investigation consisted of drilling two exploratory borings within the house
footprint and one boring and percolation holes adjacent to the proposed leach field at the
approximate locations shown on Figure 1. Samples of the subsurface materials were collected
and returned to our laboratory for testing. The results of our field and laboratory programs were
evaluated to develop recommendations for foundations and surface and subsurface drainage.
This report summarizes the information obtained during our investigation and presents our
recommendations based on the proposed construction and subsurface conditions encountered.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed residence will be a one-story wood framed structure with a walkout
basement. Foundation excavations will likely be on the order of 3 to 6 feet deep below existing
grade for the walkout basement. Foundation loads will likely be on the order of 1,000 to 3,000
pounds per linear foot.
SITE CONDITIONS
Lot 3, Johnson Taughenbau Mesa subdivision was located adjacent to County Road 320
southwest of Rifle in Garfield County, Colorado. The lot was just south of the intersection with
C.R. 321 and on the east side of C.R. 320. The lot sloped down to the southeast at grades of 5
to 10 percent and became very steep past the building envelope down to Helmer Gulch. At the
time of drilling, the site was in the process of being cleared of scrub oak and juniper trees to
accommodate the proposed structure. Existing residential structures were located to the west
and south. C.R.320 was paved and utilities were installed. Medium to large basalt boulders
were observed on the ground surface throughout the site.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Three exploratory borings were drilled at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1.
The borings were drilled to depths of 5 to 17 feet where practical drill rig refusal was
encountered (Figure 2). Modified California and bulk samples were collected at specified
depths. California samples were collected using a 2-inch J.D. sampler driven into the subsoils
with a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of blows needed to drive the sampler
1
Johnson Residence Project No. 27-233
constitutes the blow count. For example, a value on the log (Figure 2) of 50/7 indicated the
sampler was driven 7 inches with 50 blows of the hammer. The blow count can be used as a
relatively measure of material stiffness or density. The collected samples were transported to
our laboratory where they were examined and classified. The test hole logs are presented on
Figure 2. Laboratory tests included moisture content, grain size analysis and Atterberg limit
testing.
The subsoils encountered in our borings consisted of 5 to 17 feet of silty, clayey sand
with interbedded gravel, cobble, and boulders. Bedrock was not encountered. Sand samples
tested had 43 to 47 percent fines (passing No. 200 sieve), liquid limits of 26 to 45 percent and
plasticity indices of 5 percent. The samples tested classified as silty to clayey sand (SM and
SC-SM) based on the unified soil classification system. The laboratory test results are
presented in the Summary of Laboratory Test Results table.
Groundwater was not encountered during drilling or when checked several days after
drilling, and the subsoils were slightly moist. We believe variations in ground water conditions
can occur. The magnitude of the variation will be largely dependent upon local irrigation
practices, the duration and intensity of precipitation, site grading changes, and the surface and
subsurface drainage characteristics of the surrounding area.
PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS
Percolation testing was performed adjacent to the proposed leach field location near
boring P-1. A profile boring (P-1) was drilled adjacent to the center of the proposed leach field.
Three shallower holes were drilled around the profile boring. The shallower holes were used for
percolation testing. Each hole was presoaked overnight and the tests were performed the
following day. The following table presents the average percolation rate for the three holes.

Johnson Residence Project No. 27-233
SITE DEVELOPMENT
We anticipate cuts of about 3 to 6 feet from existing grade on the downhill side may be
necessary to achieve walkout basement level. Practical drill rig refusal was encountered near
anticipated footing level. We anticipate heavy ripping, rock excavation and/or blasting may be
needed to excavate large boulders. The base of the completed foundation excavation may be
irregular. To provide a relatively level excavation base, a granular backfill such as a road base
could be placed to provide a level working base.
Fill placement should be minor. Areas to receive fill should be stripped of vegetation,
organic soils and debris. The on-site soils free of organic matter, debris and rocks larger than 6
inches can be used in fills. Fill should be placed in thin, loose lifts of 8 inches thick or less,
moisture conditioned within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95
percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density (ASTM D 698). Placement and compaction of
fill should be observed and tested by a representative of the geotechnical engineer.
FOUNDATIONS RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of our subsurface investigation, we believe the residence can be
supported on footing foundations placed on the natural soils or properly compacted fill. The
following design and construction details should be observed for spread footings placed on the
natural soils or properly compacted fill.
1. Foundations should be constructed on undisturbed natural soils or properly
compacted fill. Loose, disturbed soils encountered at foundation level should be
removed and replaced with compacted fill or the foundation should be extended to
undisturbed soils.
2. Footing foundations can be designed for a maximum allowable soil pressure of 3,000
psf. The design pressure may be increased by 1/3 or as allowed by local code,
when considering total loads that include wind or seismic conditions.
3. Continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of at least 18 inches.
Foundation pads for isolated columns should have a minimum dimension of 24
inches.
4. Resistance to sliding at the bottom of the footing can be calculated based on a
coefficient of friction of 0.35. Passive pressure against the side of the footing can
also be considered for the sliding resistance if it is properly compacted. Passive
pressure can be estimated based on an equivalent fluid density of 250 pcf for a level
backfill.
5. Grade beams and foundation walls should be reinforced to span undisclosed loose
or soft soil areas. We recommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsupported
3
)
Johnson Residence Project No. 27-233
distance of at least 10 feet.
6. The soils below exterior footings or exterior edges of slabs should be protected from
freezing. We recommend the bottom of footings be constructed at least 3 feet below
finished exterior grade or as required by local municipal code.
7. All foundation excavations should be observed by a representative of the
geotechnical engineer prior to placement of concrete.
BELOW-GRADE WALLS
A walkout basement is planned below the main level for the residence. Foundation walls
that extend below grade should be designed for lateral earth pressure where backfill is not
present to the same level on both sides of the wall. For walls that can deflect or rotate about 0.5
to 1 percent of the wall height, the wall can be designed for "active" earth pressure conditions.
For a very rigid wall where negligible deflection can occur, an "at-rest" lateral earth pressure
condition can be used. Typically, below-grade walls for residences can rotate under normal
design loads, and this deflection results in acceptable performance.
If on-site soils are used as backfill, we recommend using an equivalent fluid density of
; 40 pcf for design of below grade walls. This value assumes that some minor cracking is
acceptable. If negligible deflections are desired, a higher "at-rest" equivalent fluid density of 50
pcf should be used for design. These equivalent densities do not account for sloping backfill,
surcharges or hydrostatic pressure.
SLABS-ON-GRADE
Based on our investigation, garage and basement slabs will likely be underlain by silty,
clayey sands with gravel, cobble and small boulders or properly compacted fill. We believe
there is a low risk of poor slab-on-grade performance due to adverse soil conditions. The on-
site soils, free of organics and debris, are suitable to support lightly loaded slabs-on-grade.
Slabs should be separated from all load bearing walls and columns with expansion joints that
allow vertical movement. Control joints should be used to reduce damage from shrinkage
cracking. All fill below slabs should be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard
Proctor dry density within 2 percent of optimum moisture content.
SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE
Groundwater was not encountered during our investigation. Surface water typically
flows through permeable wall backfill and collects at the backfill and natural soil interface
resulting in saturated foundation soils and/or wet basement conditions. To reduce water
4
Johnson Residence Project No. 27-233
accumulation outside foundation walls and reduce moist basement conditions, a foundation
drain can be installed around the exterior of the foundation walls. Drains can be installed in
crawlspace areas after completion of construction, if groundwater develops. If groundwater or
highly saturated soils are encountered during foundation excavation on this lot, we should be
contacted for additional recommendations.
A typical drain should consist of a 4-inch diameter, perforated pipe encased in free
draining gravel. The gravel should be % to 1.5-inch washed rock with less than 5 percent fines.
The drain should be provided with a gravity discharge such as a sump pit where water can be
removed by pumping or be daylighted. The pipe should be sloped at a minimum of 0.5 percent
and should be installed 12 to 18 inches away from and parallel to the footing foundation. The
bottom of the pipe should be at least 2 inches below the bottom of footing level at the high point.
Crawlspace areas should also be provided with adequate ventilation.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
Surface drainage is crucial to the performance of foundations and flatwork. We
recommend the ground surface surrounding the buildings be sloped to drain away from the
structures. We recommend a slope of at least 6 inches in the first 10 feet for landscape areas
and a minimum slope of 0.5 percent for paved areas. Backfill around foundations should be
moisture conditioned and compacted as recommended in the SITE DEVELOPMENT section.
Roof downspouts and drains should discharge beyond the backfill area.
LIMITATIONS
The analyses and recommendations presented in this report are based upon our data
obtained from the test holes at the indicated locations, field observations, laboratory testing, our
understanding of the proposed construction and other information discussed in this report. It is
possible that subsurface conditions may vary between or beyond the points explored. The
nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction. If variations
appear, we should be contacted immediately so we can review our report in light of the
variations and provide supplemental recommendations as necessary. We should also review
the report if the scope of the proposed construction, including the proposed loads, finished
elevations or structure locations, change from those described in this report. The conclusions
and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid unless Yeh and
Associates reviews the changes and either verifies or modifies the conclusions of this report in
writing.

Johnson Residence Project No. 27-233
The scope of services for this project did not include, specifically or by implication, any
environmental or biological (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the site or identification or
prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials or conditions or biological conditions. If the owner
is concerned about the potential for such contamination, conditions or pollution, other studies
should be undertaken.
The report was prepared in substantial accordance with the generally accepted
standards of practice for geotechnical engineering as exist in the site area at the time of our
investigation. No warranties, express or implied, are intended or made. The recommendations
in this report are based on the assumption that Yeh and Associates will conduct an adequate
program of construction testing and observation to evaluate compliance with our
recommendations.
