Subject: Subsoil Study for Foundation Design and Percolation Test, Proposed
Spa, Lot 28, Stirling Ranch, County Road 162, La Casita Road, Garfield
County, Colorado
Dear Ms. Stir ling:
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 general accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering
services to you dated March 4, 2002. The data obtained and our recommendations
based on the proposed construction and subsurface conditions encountered are presented
in this report.
Proposed Construction: The proposed spa building will be a two story wood frame
structure approximately 2, 700 sq. feet in size. Ground floor is proposed to be slab-on-
grade. Cut depths are expected to range between about 3 to 5 feet. Foundation
loadings are assumed to be relatively light and typical of the proposed type of
construction. The septic disposal system is proposed to be located to the south and
downhill of the proposed building.
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: The site was vacant and covered with up to 1 foot of snow at the time
of our field exploration. An access drive enters the lot from the south. The topography
consists of rolling hills with grades between 10 to 15 % generally sloping down to the
west. There is approximately 5 feet of elevation difference across the building
footprint. A dry seasonal irrigation ditch is located to the west (downhill) of the
proposed leach field. Vegetation consists of native grasses and weeds with thick
sagebrush and pinion trees located on the hillside to the south of the proposed
. . .

development.
Subsurface Conditions: The subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by
excavating two exploratory pits in the general building area and one profile pit in the
septic disposal area at the approximate locations shown on Fig. 1. The exact location of
the building had not been finalized at the time of our field exploration. The logs of the
pits are presented on Fig. 2. The subsoils encountered in the general building area,
below about 'h feet of organic topsoil, consist of stiff, sandy silty clay. Relatively
dense basalt gravel, cobbles and boulders in a sandy silty clay matrix was encountered
below the clay in Pit 1 at a depth of 5 V2 feet. Results of swell-consolidation testing
performed on relatively undisturbed samples, presented on Fig. 3, indicate low
compressibility under existing moisture conditions and light loading and a low to
moderate expansion potential when wetted. The sample from Pit 2 at 5 feet, presented
on Fig. 4, showed a minor collapse potential (settlement under a constant load) when
wetted and high compressibility with increased loading after wetting. No free water
was encountered in the pits at the time of excavation and the subsoils 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 subsoils designed for an allowable soil
bearing pressure of 2,000 psf for support of the proposed spa building. Expansive clays
encountered at the footing bearing level may need to be subexcavated and the footing
level deepened. The expansion potential of the footing sub grade soils should be
evaluated at the time of construction. Footings should be a minimum width of
16 inches for continuous walls and 2 feet for columns. Loose and disturbed soils and
expansive clays encountered at the foundation bearing level within the excavation
should be removed and the footing bearing level extended down to competent bearing
soils. Voids created by the removal of basalt boulders can be backfilled with compacted
road base or concrete. Exterior footings should be provided with adequate cover above
their bearing elevations for frost protection. Placement of footings at least 36 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 12 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.
Floor Slabs: The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support
lightly loaded slab-on-grade construction with some risk of slab settlement/heave if the
subgrade soils become wetted. The slab subgrade should be evaluated for expansion
soils at the time of construction. 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 floor 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 near optimum. Required fill
can consist of the on-site soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized rock.
Surface Drainage: The following drainage precautions should be observed during
construction and maintained at all times after the structure has been completed:
1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be
avoided during construction. Drying could increase the expansion
potential of the soils.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near 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.
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 should be constructed uphill to direct
surface runoff around the building.
4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of
H-P GEOTECH

all backfill.
5) Landscaping which requires regular heavy irrigation should be located at
least 5 feet from the building.
Percolation Testing: Initial percolation testing was conducted at P-1, P-2 and P-3 on
March 7, 2002 to evaluate the feasibility of an infiltration septic disposal system at the
site. Additional percolation testing was performed at P-4, P-5 and P-6 on March 19,
2002 at the request of Todd Welch with Welch Excavating, Inc. One profile pit and six
percolation holes were dug at the locations shown on Fig. I. 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 test holes were protected
from frost penetration overnight by rigid foam insulation. The soils exposed in the
percolation holes are similar to those exposed in the Profile Pit shown on Fig. 2 and
consist of stiff, sandy silty clay overlying relatively dense basalt gravel, cobbles and
boulders in a sandy silty clay matrix. Percolation tests P-1, P-2 and P-3 were run in the
upper clay soils. The percolation test results for the clay soils indicate infiltration rates
between 30 and 90 minutes per inch with an average infiltration rate of 60 minutes per
inch. Additional percolation tests performed at P-4, P-5 and P-6 were run in the deeper
coarse granular soils. The percolation test results for the coarse granular soils indicate
infiltration rates between 24 and 28 minuted per inch with an average of 26 minutes per
inch. The percolation test results are presented in Table I. In our opinion, the septic
system should be based in the deeper coarse granular soils due to the higher infiltration
rate. We understand that the septic system will be designed by a civil engineer.
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
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.
