including
NEW CONSTRUCTION
ADDITIONS
ALTERATIONS
and
MOVED BUILDINGS
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. Adequate and complete
information will prevent delays in the plan review process. Reviewing a plan and the discovery that
required information has not been provided by the applicant may result in the delay of the permit
issuance and in proceeding with building construction. The owner or contractor may be required to
provide this information before the plan review may proceed. This causes delays because 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 enough information to design your
project and provide adequate information to facilitate a plan review. If you do not, it may be
helpful to obtain a book titled "Dwelling Construction under the Uniform Building Code".
This book is available to you through this department at our cost. Also, please consider using
a design professional for assistance in your design and a construction professional for
construction of your project.
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.

Subject: Subsoil Study for Foundation Design and Percolation Test, Proposed
Residence, Parcel 10, Homestead Subdivision, Garfield County,
Colorado.
Dear Mr. Weldon:
As requested, Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. performed a subsoil study and
percolation test for foundation and septic disposal designs at the subject site. The study
was conducted in accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering services
to you dated June 4, 2003. The data obtained and our recommendations based on the
proposed construction and subsurface conditions encountered are presented in this
report. Evaluation of potential geologic hazard impacts on the site are beyond the scope
of this study.
Proposed Construction: The proposed residence will be one story wood frame
construction above a walkout basement. Basement floor is proposed to be slab -on -
grade. Cut depths are expected to range between about 3 to 8 feet. Foundation
loadings for this type of construction are assumed to be relatively light and typical of
the proposed type of construction. The septic disposal system is proposed to be located
downhill and west of the residence.
If building conditions or foundation loadings are significantly different from those
described above, we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations presented in
this report.
Site Conditions: Parcel 10 consists of about 42 acres located in unincorporated
Garfield County on the north side of County Road 115. Stover Valley Road crosses the
northwest corner of the parcel and a rough graded driveway is in place to the building
area. The ground surface in the building area slopes moderately down to the south with
Mike Weldon
June 20, 2003
Page 2
about 7 feet of elevation difference across the building footprint. The lot is vegetated
with dense scrub oak, scattered pinyon and juniper trees, grass and weeds. Scattered
basalt cobbles and boulders were observed on the ground surface.
Subsurface Conditions: The subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by
excavating two exploratory pits in the building area and one profile pit in the septic
disposal area at the approximate locations shown on Fig. 1. The logs of the pits are
presented on Fig. 2. The subsoils encountered, below about one to two feet of topsoil,
consist of sandy clay with basalt cobbles and boulders. Practical digging refusal in
basalt cobbles and boulders was encountered in Pit 2 at 61/2 feet and in the Profile Pit at
71/2 feet. Results of swell -consolidation testing performed on relatively undisturbed
samples of the sandy clay portion on the subsoils, presented on Fig. 3, indicate low
compressibility under existing moisture conditions and light loading and a moderate
expansion potential when wetted. Results of a gradation analysis performed on a
sample of clayey gravel (minus 5 inch fraction) obtained from the site are presented on
Fig. 4. No free water was observed in the pits at the time of excavation and the soils
were slightly moist to moist.
Foundation Recommendations: Considering the subsoil conditions encountered in the
exploratory pits and the nature of the proposed construction, we recommend spread
footings placed on the undisturbed natural soil designed for an allowable soil bearing
pressure of 3,000 psf for support of the proposed residence. The spread footings should
also be designed to impose a minimum dead load pressure of 1,000 psf. In lightly
loaded areas, a pad and beam foundation may be needed in order to impose the
minimum dead load. The clay soils tend to expand after wetting and there could be
some post -construction foundation movement if the bearing materials become wetted.
Sources of the wetting include utility line leaks, uncontrolled surface runoff and over
irrigation. Footings should be a minimum width of 16 inches for continuous walls and
2 feet for columns. Loose and disturbed soils encountered at the foundation bearing
level within the excavation should be removed and the footing bearing level extended
down to the undisturbed natural soils. Exterior footings should be provided with
adequate cover above their bearing elevations for frost protection. Placement of
Mike Weldon
June 20, 2003
Page 3
footings at least 42 inches below the exterior grade is typically used in this area.
Continuous foundation walls should be reinforced top and bottom to span local
anomalies such as by assuming an unsupported length of at least 14 feet. Foundation
walls acting as retaining structures should be designed to resist a lateral earth pressure
based on an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 55 pcf for the on-site soil as backfill.
Foundation Alternative: An alternative to providing a minimum dead load pressure
would be to overexcavate the footing subgrade 3 feet and replace the expansive clay
soils with a structural fill. Structural fill should consist of 3/4 inch road base
compacted to at least 100% of the maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture
content near optimum.
Floor Slabs: The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support
lightly loaded slab -on -grade construction. The subgrade soils tend to expand if wetted
and there is a risk of slab movement if the subsoils become wet. To reduce the effects
of some differential movement, floor slabs should be separated from all bearing walls
and columns with expansion joints which allow unrestrained vertical movement. Floor
slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. The
requirements for joint spacing and slab reinforcement should be established by the
designer based on experience and the intended slab use. A minimum 4 inch layer of
free -draining gravel should be placed beneath basement level slabs to facilitate drainage.
This material should consist of minus 2 inch aggregate with less than 50 % passing the
No. 4 sieve and less than 2% passing the No. 200 sieve.
All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95 % of
maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content slightly above optimum.
Required fill can consist of the on-site soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized
rock.
Underdrain System: Although free water was not encountered during our exploration,
it has been our experience where clay soils are present that local perched groundwater
can develop during times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground

during spring runoff can also create a perched condition. We recommend below grade
construction, such as retaining walls and basement areas, be protected from wetting and
hydrostatic pressure buildup by an underdrain system.
The drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the wall backfill
surrounded above the invert level with free -draining granular material. The drain
should be placed at each level of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent
finish grade and sloped at a minimum 1% to a suitable gravity outlet. Free -draining
granular material used in the underdrain system should contain less than 2% passing the
No. 200 sieve, less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and have a maximum size of
2 inches. The drain gravel backfill should be at least Ph feet deep. An impervious
membrane such as 30 mil PVC should be placed beneath the drain gravel in a trough
shape and attached to the foundation wall with mastic to prevent wetting of the bearing
soils.
Surface Drainage: The following drainage precautions should be observed during
construction and maintained at all times after the residence has been completed:
1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be
avoided during construction. Excessive drying could increase the
expansion potential of the soils.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to slightly above optimum moisture
and compacted to at least 95 % of the maximum standard Proctor density
in pavement and slab areas and to at least 90% of the maximum standard
Proctor density in landscape areas. Free -draining wall backfill should be
capped with about 2 feet of the on-site, finer graded soils to reduce
surface water infiltration.
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be
sloped to drain away from the foundation in all directions. We
recommend a minimum slope of 12 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved
areas and a minimum slope of 3 inches in the first 10 feet in pavement
and walkway areas. A swale may be needed uphill to direct surface
runoff around the residence.
Mike Weldon

4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of
all backfill.
5) Landscaping which requires regular heavy irrigation should be located at
least 10 feet from the building. Consideration should be given to the use
of xeriscape to limit potential wetting due to irrigation.
Percolation Testing: Percolation tests were conducted on June 12, 2003 to evaluate the
feasibility of an infiltration septic disposal system at the site. One profile pit and three
percolation holes were dug at the locations shown on Fig. 1. The test holes (nominal 12
inch diameter by 12 inch deep) were hand dug at the bottom of shallow backhoe pits
and were soaked with water one day prior to testing. The soils exposed in the
percolation holes are similar to those exposed in the Profile Pit shown on Fig. 2 and
consist of about 1 foot of topsoil overlying sandy clay with basalt cobbles and boulders.
The percolation test results are presented in Table II. Based on the subsurface
conditions encountered and the percolation test results, we recommend a civil engineer
design the septic disposal system.
Limitations: This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted
geotechnical engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no
warranty either expressed or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted
in this report are based upon the data obtained from the exploratory pits excavated at the
locations indicated on Fig. 1, the proposed type of construction and our experience in
the area. Our findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the subsurface
conditions identified at the exploratory pits and variations in the subsurface conditions
may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered
during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be
notified at once so re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes.
We are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As
the project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during
construction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to
Mike Weldon

verify that the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design
changes may require additional analysis or modifications to the recommendations
presented herein. We recommend on-site observation of excavations and foundation
bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a representative of the geotechnical
engineer.
If you have any questions or if we may be of further assistance, please let us know.

NOTES:
1. Exploratory pits were excavated on June 11, 2003 with a John Deere 490 trackhoe.
2. Locations of exploratory pits were measured approximately by pacing from features shown on the site
plan provided.
3. Elevations of exploratory pits were not measured and logs of exploratory pits are drawn to depth.
4. The exploratory pit locations should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method
used.
5. The lines between materials shown on the exploratory pit logs represent the approximate boundaries
between material types and transitions may be gradual.
6. No free water was encountered in the pits at the time of excavating. Fluctuations in water level may
occur with time.
