SCOPE
CTL I Thompson, lnc. has completed a geotechnicalengineering investiga-
tion for the single-family residence proposed on Aspen Glen, Filing 3, Lot L20 in
Garfield County, Colorado. We conducted this investigation to evaluate subsur-
face conditions at the site and provide geotechnical engineering recommenda-
tions for the proposed construction. The scope of our investigation was set forth in
our Proposal No. 21-0147 . Our reporl was prepared from data developed from our
field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis, and our experience with
similar conditions. This report includes a description of the subsurface conditions
observed in our exploratory pits and provides geotechnical engineering recom-
mendations for design and construction of the foundation, floor system, below-
grade walls, subsurface drainage, and details influenced by the subsoils. A sum-
mary of our conclusions is below.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
subsurface conditions encountered ín our exploratory pits consisted
of about 6 inches of sandy clay topsoil and 1.5 to 2.5 feet of clayey
gravel, underlain by silty gravel, cobbles, and boulders to the total
explored depth of I feet. Groundwater was not found in our explora-
tory pits.
2.The natural, silty gravel and cobble soil at the site has good founda-
tion support characteristics. we recommend constructing the resi-
dence on a footing foundation that is supported by the natural,
gravel and cobble soil. Design and construction criteria for footings
are in the report.
The garage floor is anticipated as a slab-on-grade. We anticipate
slabs-on-grade can be supported on the natural, graveland cobble
soils with low potential risk of differential movement. Additional dis*
cussion is in the report

A foundation wall drain should be constructed around the perimeter
of the crawl space to mitigate water that infiltrates backfill soils adja-
cent to the residence. surface grading should be designed and con-
structed to rapidly convey surface water away from the building.
SITE CONDITIONS
The residence will be constructed on Aspen Glen, Filing 3, Lot L20 in Gar-
field County, Colorado. A vicinity map showing the location of the site is included
as Figure 1. The lot is an approximately 0.79-acre parcel. No structures are pre-
sent on the lot. Midland Loop is adjacent to the lot to the north. A large írrigation
pond is on the east half of the subject property and adjacent lot to the east. An
aerial photograph of the site is shown on Figure 2. Ground surface gently slopes
down to the northeast from an elevation of about 6,A71feet to 6,066 feet. Grades
are less than 5 percent. Vegetation consists of grass and weeds. A photograph of
the site at the time of our subsurface investigation is below.

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
Plans for the residence were preliminary at the time of our geotechnical en-
gineering investigation. We discussed the proposed construction with KRAA De-
sign Architecture. The proposed building footprint is shown on Figure 3. The resi-
dence will be a two-story, wood-frame building with an attached garage, No base-
ment construction is planned. The main level floor will be structurally supported
with a crawl space below. The garage floor is planned as a slab-on-grade. Foun-
dation excavation is expected to extend 4 to 5 feet below the existing ground sur-
face. We expect rimeter foundation loads between 1 ,000 and 3,000 pounds
linear foot with maximum interior column loads of less than 50 kips. We should be€
provided with architectural plans, when available, so that we can provide geotech-
nical/geo-structural engineering input.
SITE GEOLOGY
As part of our geotechnical engineering investigation, we reviewed geologic
mapping by the Colorado Geology Survey (CGS), titled, "Geologic Map of the Cat-
tle creek Quadrangle, Garfield county, colorado", by Kirkham, streufert, Hem-
borg, and Stelling (dated 2014). The overburden soils at the site are mapped as
intermediate terrace alluvium of the late Pleistocene Epoch. The deposits are de-
scribed as mostly poorly-sorted, clast-supported, pebble and cobble gravel in a
sand and silt matrix. The silty gravel and cobbles found in our exploratory pits is
consistent with the geologic description. The soils are underlain at depth by bed-
rock of the Eagle Valley Evaporite formation. The surface of the bedrock is typi-
cally irregular and contorted and not representative of the relatively flat ground
surface at the site.

GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
We also reviewed the CGS map "Collapsible Soils and Evaporite Karst
Hazard Map of the Roaring Fork Valley, Garfield, Pitkin and Eagle Counties", by
Jonathan L. White (dated 2002). CGS has mapped sinkhole and subsidence fea-
tures near the subject property.
Surface subsidence in the area of the subject site is usually due to solution
cavities that form in the underlying Eagle Valley Evaporite bedrock. The Evaporite
minerals in the bedrock formation are dissolved and removed by circulating
groundwater. Most of the flow in the area of this site is subflow tributary to the
Roaring Fork River. The groundwater circulates through the permeable alluvial
terrace gravel, forming solution cavities in the Eagle Valley Evaporite. Overburden
soils collapse into the solution cavities. When caving propagates to the ground
surface, ground subsidence and/or sinkholes occur.
Formation of sinkholes is random and can occur anywhere and at any time
in the geologic environment at this site and cannot be predicted. The degree of
risk related to sinkholes cannot reasonably be quantified. We did not observe ob-
vious visual evidence of sinkholelsubsidence formations on or immediately adja-
cent to the subject property. We are not aware of buildings in the immediate vicin-
ity of the subject property that have experienced recent subsidence-related dam-
age. we rate the potential risk of sinkhole development at the site as low.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface conditions were investigated by directing the excavation of
three exploratory pits (TP-1 through TP-3) spaced across the site. The pits were
excavated with a trackhoe at the approximate locations shown on Figures 2 and
3. subsurface conditions in the pits were logged by our representative, who
logged conditions encountered and obtained representative samples of the soils

Graphic logs of the soils exposed in our exploratory pits are included as Figure 4.
Subsoils encountered in our exploratory pits consisted of about 6 inches of
sandy clay topsoil and 1.5 to 2.5 feel of clayey gravel, underlain by silty gravel,
cobbles, and boulders to the total explored depth of g feet. Groundwater was not
found in our pits at the time of excavation. Pits were backfilled immediately after
completion of exploratory excavation operations. A photograph of the silty gravel
and cobbles soilfound in our pits is below.
Soils excavated from TP-2
Samples of the soils obtained from our exploratory pits were returned to
our laboratory for pertinent laboratory testing. Three samples of the gravel and
cobble soil selected for gradation analysis contained 49 to 79 percent gravel, 16
to 24 percent sand, and 5 to 30 percent silt and clay (passing the No. 200 sieve).
Gradation test results exclude rocks larger than 5 inches in diameter. A significant
fraction of the soils at this site are comprised of cobbles and boulders. Gradation
test results are shown on Figures 5 and 6. Laboratory testing is summarized on

SITE EARTHWORK
Excavations
We anticipate maximum foundation excavation depths of 4 to 5 feet to con-
struct the proposed residence. Based our subsurface investigation, excavations in
the soils at the site can be made with conventional, heavy-duty equipment, such
as medium-size trackhoe. Sides of excavations need to be sloped to meet local,
state, and federal safety regulations. The on-site soils will likely classify as Type C
soils based on OSHA criteria. Sides of excavation in Type C soils should be
sloped no steeper than 1 to 1.5 horizontal to vertical. Contractors are responsible
for site safety and providing and maintaining safe and stable excavations. Con-
tractors should identify the soils encountered and ensure that OSHA standards
are met.
Free groundwater was not encountered in our exploratory pits. We do not
expect that excavations for the proposed construction will penetrate a free
groundwater table. We believe the pond located on the property has a synthetic or
soil-bentonite liner. lf the pond liner remains competent, we do not expect seep-
age into the excavation for the proposed residence. Excavations should be sloped
to a gravity discharge or to a temporary sump where water from precipitation and
snowmelt can be removed by pumping.
Structural Fill
Organics and clayey soils should be removed from below the proposed
building footprint. Planned foundation elevations can be re-attained with densely-
compacted, granular, structural fill. Additionally, a 4 to 6-inch thick layer of struc-
tural fill placed as a leveling course may be conducive to construction of footings
and floor slabs on the gravel and cobble soil. We recommend that structuralfill
consíst of an aggregate base course or similar soil.
ZAG BUILT, LLC
ASPEN GLEN, FILING 3, LOT L2O
PROJECT NO. GS06556.000-120

ffi
Structural fill should be placed in loose lifts of I inches thick or less, mois-
ture-conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content, and compacted
to at least 98 percent of standard Proctor (ASTM D 698) maximum dry density.
Moisture content and density of structural fill should be checked by a representa-
tive of our firm during placement. Observation of the compaction procedure is
necessary.
Foundation Backfill
Proper placement and compaction of foundation backfill is important to re-
duce infiltration of surface water and settlement from consolidation of backfill. This
is especially important for backfill areas that will support concrete slabs, such as
driveways and patios. The excavated soils free of rocks larger than 4 inches in di-
ameter, organics and debris can be reused as backfill adjacent to foundation wall
exteriors.
Backfill should be placed in loose lifts of approximately 10 inches thick or
less, moisture-conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and
compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor (ASTM D 693) dry
density. Moisture content and density of the backfill should be checked during
placement by a representative of our firm. Observation of the compaction proce-
dure is necessary.
FOUNDATION
The natural, silty gravel and cobble soil at the site has good foundation
support characteristics. We recommend constructing the residence on a footing
foundation that is supported by the undisturbed, gravel and cobbles. Organics and
clayey soils should be removed from below the proposed building footprint.
Planned foundation elevations can be re-attained with densely-compacted, granu-
lar, structural fill. Additionally, a 4 to 6-inch thick layer of structural fill placed as a

leveling course may be conducive to construction of footings and floor slabs on
the gravel and cobble soil. The structuralfill should be in accordance with the
Structural Fill section.
A representative of our firm should be called to observe soils in the founda-
tíon excavation and check that conditions are suitable for support of the founda-
tion as designed. Our experience indicates that maximum total settlement will be
about 1 inch for footings designed and constructed as recommended. Recom-
mended design criteria forfootings, developed from our analysis of field and la-
boratory data and our experience, are below.
Footings should be supported by the undisturbed, silty gravel and
cobble soil or densely-compacted, granular, structural fill. soils loos-
ened during excavation or the forming process for the footings
should be removed or the soils can be re-compacted prior to placing
concrete.
Footings on the gravel and cobble soil can be sized using a maxi-
mum net allowable bearing pressure ol-4,9.99-psf. The weight of
backfill soil on footings can be neglecte
A friction factor o'f 0.4 can be used to calculate resistance to sriding
between concrete footings and the silty gravel and cobbles.
Continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of at least 16
inches. Foundations for isolated columns should have minimum di-
mensions of 24 inches by 24 inches. Larger sizes may be required,
depending upon foundation loads.
Grade beams and foundation walls should be well-reinforced to
span undisclosed loose or soft soil pockets. We recommend rein-
forcement sufficient to span an unsupported distance of at least 12
feet.
The soils under exterior footings should be protected from freezing.
We recommend the bottom of footings be constructed at a depth of
at least 3ô inehcs helow finished exterior grades. The Garfield
County building department should be consulted regarding required
depth.

CRAWL SPACE CONSTRUCTION
The main level floor of the residence is proposed as structurally-supported
by the foundation walls with a crawl space below the floor. Building codes nor-
mally require a clear space of at least 18 inches between exposed earth and un-
treated wood floor components. For non-organic systems, we recommend a mini-
mum clear space of 12 inches. This minimum clear space should be maintained
between any point on the underside of the floor system (including beams, plumb-
íng pipes, and floor drain traps and the soils.
utility connections, including water, gas, air duct, and exhaust stack con-
nections to appliances on structural floors should be capable of absorbing some
deflection of the floor. Plumbing that passes through the floor should ideally be
hung from the underside of the structural floor and not laid on the bottom of the
excavation. lt is prudent to maintain the minimum clear space below all plumbing
lines. lf trenching below the lines is necessarv, we recommend sloping these
trenches, so they discharge to the foundation drain.
Control of humidity in crawl spaces is important for indoor air quality and
performance of wood floor systems. We believe the best current practices to con-
trol humidity involve the use of a vapor retarder or vapor barrier (10 mil minimum)
placed on the soils below accessible subfloor areas. The vapor retarder/barrier
should be sealed at joints and attached to concrete foundation elements.
SLAB-ON-GRADE CONSTRUCTION
The garage floor is anticipated as a slab-on-grade. Exterior slabs such as
the driveway and patios are likely to be constructed adjacent to the building. We
anticipate slabs-on-grade can be supported on the natural, gravel and cobble soils
with low potential risk of differential movement . A 4 to 6-inch thick leveling course

of granular structural fill may be conducive for construction of floor slabs. Struc-
turalfill should be placed in accordance with the recommendations in the Struc-
tural Fill section. We recommend the following precautions for slab-on-grade con-
struction at this site.
slabs should be separated from footings and column pads with srip
joints that allow free vertical movement of the slabs.
underslab plumbing should be pressure tested for leaks before the
slabs are constructed. Plumbing and utilities which pass through
slabs should be isolated from the slabs with sleeves and provided
with flexible couplings to slab supported appliances.
Exteríor concrete flatwork should be isolated from the building.
These slabs should be well-reinforced to function as independent
units.
Frequent controljoints should be provided, in accordance with
American Concrete lnstitute (ACl) recommendations, to reduce
problems associated with shrinkage and curling.
FOUNDATION WALLS
Foundation walls which extend below-grade should be designed for lateral
earth pressures where backfill is not present to about the same extent on both
sides of the wall, such as in crawl spaces. Many factors affect the values of the
design lateral earth pressure. These factors include, but are not limited to, the
type, compactíon, slope, and drainage of the backfill, and the rigidity of the wall
against rotation and deflection.
For a very rigid wall where negligible or very little deflection will occur, an
"at-rest" lateral eañh pressure should be used in design, For walls that can deflect
or rotate 0.5 to 1 percent of wall height (depending upon the backfill types), design
for a lower "active" lateral earth pressure may be appropriate. Our experience in-
dicates typical below-grade walls in residences deflect or rotate slightly under nor-
mal design loads, and that this deflection results in satisfactory wall performance.

ffi
Thus, the earth pressures on the walls will likely be between the "active" and "at-
rest" conditions.
For backfill soils conforming with recommendations in the Foundation Wall
Backfill section that are not saturated, we recommend design of below-grade
walls at this site using an equivalent fluíd density of at least 40 pcf. This value as-
sumes deflection; some minor cracking of walls may occur. lf very little wall de-
flection is desired, a higher design value for the at-rest condition using an equiva-
lent fluid pressure of 55 pcf is recommended. These equivalent densities do not
include allowances for sloping backfill, surcharges or hydrostatic pressures.
SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE
Water from precipitation, snowmelt, and irrigation frequently flows through
relatively permeable backfill placed adjacent to a residence and collects on the
surface of less permeable soils at the bottom of foundation excavations. This pro-
cess can cause wet or moist conditions in below-grade areas, such as crawl
spaces, after construction. To reduce the likelihood water pressure will develop
outside foundation walls and the risk of accumulation of water in below-grade ar-
eas, we recommend provision of a foundation wall drain,
The foundation drain should consist of 4-inch diameter, slotted PVC pipe
encased in free-draining gravel. A prefabricated drainage composite should be
placed adjacent to foundation walls. Care should be taken during backfill opera-
tions to prevent damage to drainage composites. The drain should discharge via a
positive gravity outlet or lead to a sump where water can be removed by pumping.
The foundation wall drain concept is shown on Fígure 7.

SURFACE DRAINAGE
Surface drainage is critical to the performance of foundations, floor slabs,
and concrete flatwork. Surface drainage should be designed to provide rapid run-
off of surface water away from the residence. Proper surface drainage and irriga-
tion practices can help control the amount of surface water that penetrates to
foundation levels and contributes to settlement or heave of soils and bedrock that
support foundations and slabs-on-grade. Positive drainage away from the founda-
tion and avoidance of irrigation near the foundation also help to avoid excessive
wetting of backfill soils, which can lead to increased backfill settlement and possí-
bly to higher lateral earth pressures, due to increased weight and reduced
strength of the backfill. We recommend the following precautions.
The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the residence shourd
be sloped to drain away from the building in all directions. We rec-
ommend a minimum constructed slope of at least 12 inches in the
first 10 feet (10 percent) in landscaped areas around the residence,
where practical.
Backfill around the foundation walls should be moistened and com-
pacted pursuant to recommendations in the Foundation wall Backfill
section.
The residence should be provided with roof gutters and downspouts.
Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the rimits
of all backfill. splash blocks and/or extensions should be provided at
all downspouts so water discharges onto the ground beyond the
backfill. We generally recommend against burial of downspout dis-
charge. Where it is necessary to bury downspout discharge, solid,
rigid pipe should be used, and the pipe should slope to an open
gravity outlet.
Landscaping should be carefully designed and maintained to mini-
mize irrigation. Plants placed close to foundation walls should be
limited to those with low moisture requirements. Sprinklers should
not discharge within 5 feet of foundations. Plastic sheeting should
not be placed beneath landscaped areas adjacent to foundation
walls or grade beams. Geotextile fabric will inhibit weed growth yet
still allow natural evaporation to occur.

CONCRETE
Concrete in contact with soil can be subject to sulfate attack. Our experí-
ence is that the natural granular soils within Aspen Glen possess low concentra-
tions of soluble sulfate. For low levels of soluble sulfate concentration, ACI 332-
08, "Code Requirements for Residential Concrete", indicates there are no special
req uirements for sulfate resistance,
ln our experience, superficial damage may occur to the exposed surfaces
of highly permeable concrete. To control this risk and to resist freeze thaw deterio-
ration, the water-to-cementitious materials ratio should not exceed 0.50 for con-
crete in contact with soils that are likely to stay moist due to suface drainage or
high-water tables. Concrete should have a total air content of 60/o +l-1.ío/a.We
recommend all foundation walls and grade beams in contact with the subsoils be
damp-proofed.
CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS
We recommend that CTL I Thompson, lnc. be retained to provide construc-
tion observation and materials testing services for the project. This would allow us
the opportunity to verify whether soiÍ conditions are consistent with those found
during this investigation. lf others perform these observations, they must accept
responsibility to judge whether the recommendations in this report remaín appro-
priate. lt is also beneficialto projects, from economic and practical standpoints,
when there is continuity between engineering consultation and the construction
observation and materials testing phases.
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
CTL I Thompson, lnc. is a full-service geotechnical, structural, materials,
and environmental engineering firm. Our services include preparation of structural

framing and foundation plans. We can also design earth retention systems. Based
on our experience, CTL I Thompson, lnc. typically provides value to projects from
schedule and economic standpoints, due to our combined expertise and experi-
ence with geotechnical, structural, and materials engineering.We can provide a
proposal for structural engineering services, if requested.
GEOTECHNICAL RISK
The concept of risk is an important aspect of any geotechnical evaluation.
The primary reason for this is that the analytical methods used to develop ge-
otechnical recommendations do not comprise an exact science. The analytical
tools which geotechnical engineers use are generally empirical and must be tem-
pered by engineering judgment and experience. Therefore, the solutions or rec-
ommendations presented in any geotechnical evaluation should not be consid-
ered risk-free and, more importantly, are not a guarantee that the interaction be-
tween the soils and the proposed structure will result in performance as desired or
intended. The engineering recommendations in the preceding sections constitute
our estimate of those measures necessary to help the building perform satisfacto-
rily.
This report was prepared for the exclusive use of the client for the purpose
of providing geotechnical design and construction criteria for the proposed project.
The information, conclusions, and recommendations presented herein are based
upon consideration of many factors including, but not limited to, the type of struc-
tures proposed, the geologic setting, and the subsurface conditions encountered.
The conclusions and recommendations contained in the report are not valid for
use by others. Standards of practice continuously change in the area of geotech-
nical engineering. The recommendations provided in this report are appropriate
for three years. lf the proposed project is not constructed within three years, we
should be contacted to determine if we should update this report.

LIM!TATIONS
Our exploratory pits provide a reasonable characterization of subsurface
conditíons at the site. Variations in the subsurface conditions not indicated by the
pits will occur. We should be provided with architectural plans, when available, so
that we can provide geotechnical/geo-structural engineering input.
This investigation was conducted in a manner consistent with that levelof
care and skill ordinarily exercised by geotechnical engineers currently practicing
under similar conditions in the locality of this project. No warranty, express or im-
plied, is made. lf we can be of further service in discussing the contents of this re-
