CONFERENCE SUMMARY
TAX PARCEL NUMBER: 218106200283 DATE: 10/05/2023
PROJECT: Wagenman Secondary Dwelling Unit
OWNERS: Benjamin and Theresa Wagenman
CONTACT/REPRESENTATIVE: Benjamin Wagenman
PRACTICAL LOCATION: County Road 238 (Slaughter Gulch Road) Approximately 3.3 miles west of New Castle and 2.5 miles east of Silt.
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Administrative Review
ZONING: Rural
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Residential Medium High, Area of Influence Silt
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicants envision constructing two units on site. The first will be approximately 1,700 sq ft and
the second larger. Since the small unit exceeds the ADU’s maximum size of 1,200 sq ft, a permit for a
Secondary Dwelling Unit will be required.
The application will need to show legal and physical access, water supply, and wastewater
management. Detailed OWTS engineering may be able to be done as a condition of approval, but
enough information to determine the feasibility of the system is required. Water management plans
typically require a well permit, 4-hour pump test, and water quality test. Physical access should shown
with appropriate easements or driveway permits and driveways that meet the Article 7 standards.
Grading and Drainage plans are required for administrative review permits as well. Residential uses
are typically exempt from landscaping requirements.
Waiver of submittal requirements may be submitted for the above items, but should include a letter
from a certified professional attesting to the adequacy of the site, system, ect.
The application should address the impact analysis (4-203.G) and Article 7, Divisions 1-3 Standards. It
should also address Section 7-701 for specific SDU requirements.
2
The mailing addresses for public notice should include any properties in neighboring counties within
the 200-foot buffer. Garfield County’s Land Explorer can produce a list of addresses for properties
within Garfield County.
The current policy is for SDU permits to only be issued when a primary unit exists on the site. Typically,
the proposed garage with dwelling unit on top would be done as the by-right primary unit and the
applicant would submit an application when ready to begin work on the second, larger unit. The SDU
permit could consider the existing unit as the SDU to maintain compliance with dwelling unit sizes.

Location and Geography
While they are formally called Colorado River Fire Protection District by state agencies, the District
is commonly known as Colorado River Fire Rescue and will be addressed as such for the rest of
this report. Colorado River Fire Rescue was established as a fire authority in 2012 as a joint effort
between Burning Mountains Fire Protection District and Rifle Protection District. The fire districts
merged in 2012. The Colorado River Fire Rescue covers a territory of approximately 851 square
miles. The coverage area includes public land (Bureau of Land Management, United States
Forest Service, Garfield County, etc.) as well as private land. Three urban areas lay within the
District’s boundaries: the city of Rifle, the Town of Silt, and the City of New Castle.
The District maintains six facilities:
• Station #41 at 1850 Railroad Avenue, Rifle Co 81650
• Station #42 at 220 County Rd. 352A, Rifle Co 81650
• Station #43 at 419 Last Chance Dr., Rifle Co 81650
• Station #61 at 611 Main Street, Silt Co 81652
• Station #63 at 5255 County Rd. 335, New Castle Co 81647
• Station #64 at 775 Castle Valley Blvd, New Castle Co 81647
The stations listed above are also identified as the district’s critical facilities.
Rifle:
• Rifle is a Home Rule Municipality located in Garfield County. The land area covers about
5.7 square miles.
• Rifle’s population grew from 9,451 people in 2015 to 9,650 in 2019, an increase of more
than 279 people at an average annual growth rate of 0.5 percent.
• The City of Rifle serves as the gateway to Northwest Colorado. Rifle is served by Interstate
70 (east/west) and Highway 13 (north/south). Highway 13 is one of the most heavily used
hazardous material shipping routes in the State of Colorado.
Silt:
• The Town of Silt is a Home Rule Municipality located in Garfield County. The land area
covers 2.8 square miles.
• Silt’s population grew from about 2,976 in 2015 to 3,115 in 2019, an increase of 139 people
at an average annual growth rate of 1.2 percent.
• Residential development within the Silt Mesa area has increased significantly over the last
20 years, and presents an interface with the more urbanized and the more rural area of
that part of the County.
• The Union Pacific Rail line and Interstate 70 both bisect the town and are critical
transportation arteries for the town and region.
Section Seven: Colorado River Fire District Profile
2 Garfield County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ♦ 2022
New Castle
• New Castle lies along the Fire District’s eastern boundary and encompasses 2.53 square
miles.
• New Castle’s population grew from about 4,569 in 2015 to 4,875 in 2019, an increase of
309 people at an average annual growth rate of 1.6 percent.
• Since 1990, the vast majority of the new single-family dwelling units were located in two
major subdivisions, Castle Valley Ranch Planning Unit Development (PUD) and Lakota
Canyon Ranch PUD. Both subdivisions lie north of the original New Castle town site and
are separated from the original town site by Mt. Medaris.
• New Castle can be accessed using 5 different routes and these transportation routes are
key for daily commerce and public safety during evacuations.
Transportation
The District is bisected by I-70, a major transportation route that serves the entire region and is
critical to ongoing functioning of the economy and Highway 13 which runs northward towards
Meeker in Rio Blanco County.
Development Trends
The Colorado River Fire Rescue District was formed in 2012 when Burning Mountain FPD and
Rifle RFP merged. All equipment, personnel, and resources available to each district was then
available to CRFR. All communities within the district, Silt, Rifle, and New Castle, have
experienced population growth over the past decade. The majority of this development has
occurred in the fringes of each community or areas adjacent to the WUI.
The fire district is looking to make sure all areas in the county are covered by a fire protection
district and continues to strive to provide necessary services to properties and areas not currently
protected. There is an automatic mutual aid agreement in place for Glenwood Springs FPD to the
east of the district and with Grand Valley FPD to the west. As development and growth continues
to occur in the district, CRFR will look to expand local staff and resources capabilities.
Critical Facilities and Infrastructure
Each participating jurisdiction identified critical facilities vital for disaster response, providing
shelter to the public, and essential for returning the jurisdiction’s functions to normal during and
after a disaster. Critical facilities were identified during the original planning process and updated
by the local planning team as a part of this plan update. The following table and figure provide a
summary of the critical facilities for Colorado River Fire Rescue and whether they are in known
hazard areas.

Hazard Prioritization
The Garfield County Hazard Mitigation Plan evaluates a range of natural and man-made
hazards which pose a risk to the county and communities. However, during the planning
process, the local planning team identified specific hazards of top concern for Colorado River
Fire District which required a more nuanced and in-depth discussion of local events,
vulnerabilities, and mitigation actions the community wishes to pursue. The following section
expands on the hazards of top concern identified by CRFR’s local planning team, including:
• Wildfire
• Flood
• Landslide, Mud/Debris Flow, and Rockfall
• Severe Wind
• Severe Winter Weather
• Drought
• Hazardous Materials
For a review and analysis of other natural hazards, please see the county-wide summary in
Section Four: Risk Assessment.
Wildfire
The primary concern of the CRFR is wildfire. There are numerous homes or properties located
within the wildland urban interface in each of the communities the district serves (Rifle, Silt, and
New Castle). These properties have an increased risk of damages due to wildfire and may require
rescues with the assistance of the district during severe events. There are also several homes
located in remote areas of the district which are a concern due to a lack of adequate transportation
corridors. Local concerns focus on the difficulty of reaching these homes in time to save them
from fire. Specifically, the district identified Odien Drive as a new WUI area of concern due to
recent development. The district regularly works with local homeowners to install defensible
space. Recent mitigation work has occurred near Elk Creek Road north of New Castle and new
fuel breaks have been installed along B Avenue and 7th Street in New Castle. However, additional
work is still needed to reduce hazardous fuel loads. The list below includes areas of concern and
areas the district is working on to either reduce fuel loads or install fire breaks as well as their
priority level.
• Fuelbreak Lakota areas, east side of Faas Ranch Road (high)
• Fuelbreak at tow slope east of schools and water tank on USFS land near Castle Valley
Ranch Road (high)
• Fuelbreaks Hidden Valley and Elk Run area (high)
• Fuelbreak and tree thinning Elk Creek Campground (high)
• Tree thinning on Elk Creek Road near 1700 area (high)
• Tree thinning and fuelbreaks near 3724-3768 on Harvey Gap Road (high)
• Firewise developing for subdivision off of Harvey Gap Road (moderate)
• Tree thinning along Odien Drive (high)
• Tree thinning and fuelbreaks in Ram Lane area (moderate)
• Defensible space around water tanks north of Silt (moderate)
• Fuelbreaks in Mineota estates area (high)
• Fuelbreaks along Divide Creek Road (high)
• Fuelbreaks along Middle Elk Creek Road (high)
• Fuelbreak for Porcupine Creek Subdivision (high)
• Fuelbreak for Beaver Creek Manor (high)

• Fuelbreak for Rifle Village South (moderate)
• Fuel management Grass Mesa area (high)
• Fuelbreak for Cedar Springs (high)
• Fuelbreak for Teepee Bible Camp (moderate)
• Fuel reduction along Rifle Creek in Rifle (moderate)
• Fuelbreaks around multiple subdivision north, west, and east of Rifle (moderate)
• Fuel treatments around Rifle Estates and Upper Rifle Creek drainage (high)
• Fuelbreak for Jewell Lane (high)
• Fuelbreak for C Avenue (low)
• Fuelbreak for Rollie Gordon Park (high)
• Fuel reduction at Morning Star Drive (med-high)
• K&K Lumberyard and Harness Lane (low/med area of concern)
• Fuel reduction at Morrow Drive (high)
• Areas of concern around Apple Tree Park (low)
• Fuelbreaks along Moki Road (moderate)
• Fuel reduction at Puma Paw Rd (low)
• Fuel reduction at Stony Ridge Rd (moderate)
• Fuelbreaks at Scutter Lane (moderate)
• Areas of concern around 17764 Co Rd 252 (low)
• Defensible space around homes and outbuildings (high)
• Mowing vegetation along roads (moderate)
The district would like to a see a WUI code integrated into the local building codes which require
fire resistant building materials. As of fall 2021 there is a state sub-committee currently discussing
a WUI code for Colorado. While a WUI building code is not currently required, CRFR highly
emphasizes the use of the code for all new development. The district also noted a vulnerability
regarding mutual aid resources when major transportation corridors and the Glenwood Canyon
pass is closed during severe events.
Flood
Local concerns relate to flood waters disrupting transportation routes and rescuing rafters and
boaters on high waters. The local planning team indicated that areas around both Silt and Rifle
are prone to flash flooding. The convergence of Rifle Creek and Government Creek was identified
as a location prone to high water following heavy rainfall.
An additional concern regarding flooding in the district is the increased prevalence of burn scars
throughout the county. Past major fires in Glenwood Canyon have left behind significant burn
scars with dead vegetation. These areas are more prone to have unstable soils, landslides, debris
flows, mudflows, and flash flooding. Difficulty receiving mutual aid or rescue resources is a
concern when the canyon is closed. Past flooding events in the county have closed access to
Eagle and Gypsum areas due to mudslides which have blocked the highways.
The Colorado River Fire Protection District is not an eligible participant for the National Flood
Insurance Program and thus does not participate.
Landslide, Mud/Debris Flow, Rockfall
Debris flows regularly occur near Newcastle and Silt after large rain events (approximately six
times in ten years according to the local planning team). Past events have closed the interstate
Section Seven: Colorado River Fire District Profile
6 Garfield County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ♦ 2022
and blocked access to Eagle and Gypsum. Local concerns focus on the potential to cut off
transportation routes, block rescue attempts, and required resources to clear debris. The local
planning team indicated that landslides result in a roadway closure every couple of years.
Severe Winds
Past severe wind events have led to roofs flying off homes, trampolines blowing away, and trees
falling on power lines. The damage to power lines can lead to an increased fire risk as well as
power outages.
Severe Winter Weather
The main concern is the impact on transportation routes and the district’s ability to respond to
emergencies. The local planning team noted recent winters have been warmer than average;
however, this has produced an increased risk of ice on roads and utilities due to the thawing and
freezing cycle.
Hazardous Materials
The presence of the oil and gas industry in the CRFR district increases the risk of hazardous
materials spills. Areas of principal concern are Highway 13, Beaver Creek, and the gas lines south
of the Colorado River. However, the local planning team noted the total number of exploratory
drill rigs in the district have declined in recent years. There is currently only one rig actively drilling
for gas. This, in turn, has impacted the local economy and available funding for the district.
There is not a HAZMAT team located in the district. The nearest full team is located either in
Grand Junction or on the front range. CRFR and other local FPDs have trained technicians and
some equipment; however it is not adequate for a large scale event and additional staffing would
be required to maintain all safety precautions. Maintaining HAZMAT equipment, staffing, and
training is currently cost-prohibitive to the district and other districts in the county.
Drought
Drought is a concern for the district not only because the increased risk of wildfire, but also
because of water quantity concerns. Rural areas of the district were identified as having
insufficient water supplies and thus are vulnerable during drought periods. The district typically
brings water with them when responding to fire calls. As of fall 2021 due to drought conditions
across the State of Colorado the district has lost some available water resources previously used
to combat fire events. Currently the district has agreements with and has been pulling water from
municipal resources to fill rigs when responding to fire calls.
Other Concerns
Another concern of the district is the reliance on the oil and gas industry. The local planning team
indicated that nearly 90 percent of the budget is from the oil and gas industry. When the oil and
gas industry fluctuates, there is a significant impact on the district’s budget. However, as of fall
2021, a new mill levy was passed in the district to help supplement funding. Voters approved a
phased-in levy to assist the fire department in covering expenses. This change has reduced
reliance on the fluctuating oil and gas industry and instead places emphasis on the local residents
the fire protection district actually serves.
Lastly, evacuation planning is an ongoing concern for the local communities. Due to the fluctuating
circumstances around significant fire events or other hazard types, no formal evacuation map has
been developed in the county. A local subcommittee in New Castle is currently working to address
evacuation concerns in town.

Capability Assessment
Due to the unique structure of fire protection districts, the typical capability assessment table was
not used. The following table summarizes the district’s overall capabilities. The Colorado River
Fire Rescue will continue to utilize existing relationships with local, county, state, and federal
agencies to aid in the implementation of mitigation projects.

Plan Integration
Plans listed in below were reviewed by the local planning team to identify opportunities to integrate
the HMP with current planning mechanisms. These documents were also used by the local
planning team to assist in identifying risks, vulnerabilities, and potential mitigation actions. The
documents directly contributed to the hazard prioritization and mitigation action items sections of
this district profile. When these plans and other relevant district planning mechanisms are
updated, the local planning team will review the HMP for opportunities to incorporate the goals,
risk and vulnerability data, and mitigation actions into the plan update as appropriate.
Colorado River Fire Rescue participated in the 2021 Garfield County CWPP update. This plan
identified areas within the district with an increased risk of wildfire and identifies strategies to
mitigate wildfire impacts. Risk data and mitigation actions in the CWPP were integrated into the
HMP. The district will continue to participate in future updates to this plan. Additionally, CRFR
noted they would like to develop a district specific CWPP for a more nuanced view of needed
mitigation work in the district.

Mitigation Action Items
Short and long-term action items identified through the planning process are an important part of the mitigation plan. Action items are
detailed recommendations for activities that local departments, citizens and others could engage in to reduce risk. Although not all the
actions below fit the definition of mitigation, they add to the overall resilience of the community and are thus included within the hazard
mitigation plan.

Subsurface Investigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
3-Bedroom Residence + 2-Bedroom ADU
TBD CR 238
Garfield County, Colorado
Ben,
CBO Inc. performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater treatment system
(OWTS) design for the subject residences. The 5.543-acre property is located outside of New Castle, in
an area where OWTSs and wells are necessary. We have made some clarifications from the design
dated June 29, 2021, which should be discarded and replaced with these dated July 12, 2021.

BK 1636/937 AND QCD BK 1636/940 5.543 ACRES
Parcel ID: 2181-062-00-283
SITE CONDITIONS The property is currently undeveloped. A 3-bedroom, single-family residence and detached 2-bedroom
accessory dwelling unit (ADU) are proposed.
The property will be served potable water from a private well. The well is located to the west of the
proposed ADU. The well will be located greater than 50-feet from the proposed septic tank and greater
than 100- feet from the proposed soil treatment area (STA). The water line will enter each residence
from the east and will not come within 25-feet of any OWTS component.
The proposed STA location has an approximate 5-10% slope to the southwest. The proposed area
vegetated with native grasses.
There should be no traffic or staging of material over the future STA site to avoid compaction of soils
prior to construction of the STA.
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on May 4, 2021 by digging two soil profile test pit excavations (Test Pits). A
visual and tactile soil analysis was completed by Carla Ostberg at the time of excavation.1
1 Carla Ostberg holds a Certificate of Attendance and Examination from the CPOW Visual and Tactile
Evaluation of Soils Training.
Page 2
The materials encountered in Test Pit #1 consisted of dark brown topsoil to 0.5-feet, underlain by light
brown, dense sandy loam to a maximum depth explored of 8.0-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was
encountered.
The materials encountered in Test Pit #2 were consistent with those encountered in Test Pit #1. Test Pit #2
was explored to a maximum depth of 8.0-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered.
A sample of the soils was taken from Test Pit #1 at 3-feet below grade. Soil structure grade was weak.
The soil formed a ball and a ribbon less than 1-inch in length before breaking. Soil structure shape was
blocky and consistence was friable. Soil texture was more gritty than smooth.
STA sizing is based on Soil Type 2A, Sandy Loam with weak structure grade. A long term acceptance
rate (LTAR) of 0.5 gallons per square foot will be used to design the OWTS.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS Design Calculations:
Average Design Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 3 Bedrooms = 450 GPD + 2-Bedroom ADU (300
GPD) = 750 GPD
LTAR = 0.5 GPD/SF
750 GPD / 0.5 GPD/SF x 1.0 (gravity trenches) x 0.7 (chambers) = 1050 SF
The OWTS design is based on 3-bedrooms in the main house and 2-bedrooms in the ADU. An average
daily wastewater flow of 750 GPD will be used.
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation 100’ has been identified Finished Floor of
the Main House. CBO Inc. should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with grade elevations of
proposed components during installation of the OWTS.
OWTS Component Minimum Elevation
Primary Tank Inlet Invert Approximate horizontal distance 143’ / min. 2% fall
to septic tank / min. 35.75” fall
Distribution Box Approximate horizontal distance 37’ / min. 1% fall
to d-box / min. 4.625” fall
Infiltrative Surface Approximate horizontal distance 10’ / min. 1% fall
to infiltrative surface / min. 1.25” to upper-most
trench
*Elevations are based upon standard OWTS installation practices. Component elevations may change during
installation due to site conditions.
The 4-inch diameter SDR-35 sewer line exiting the residence must have a double-sweep clean out and a
minimum 2% grade to the septic tank.
The system installation must include a 1500-gallon, two-compartment poly Infiltrator® septic tank with an
effluent filter on the outlet tee. A concrete septic tank may be substituted, if desired. Risers must bring
the manhole lids to grade for access. If more than one riser is added to the septic tank, an extension
handle must be installed on the effluent filter.
Page 6
Effluent will gravity flow to a distribution box, and then to five gravelless chamber trenches. The
distribution box must be accessible from grade and must have flow equalizers, or similar product,
installed on each outlet pipe in the distribution box to assure equal flow to each trench.
Each trench will consist of 18 ‘Quick 4’ Standard Plus Infiltrator® chambers for a total of 90 chambers
and 1080 square feet of infiltrative area. There must be at least 4-feet of undisturbed soil between each
trench. Inspection ports must be installed at the beginning and end of each trench. Ports may be cut to
grade and placed in sprinkler boxes for access.
COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS
The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area.
CBO Inc. must approve alternative components prior to installation of the OWTS. Requests must
be submitted, in writing, to our office for approval prior to installation. Component technical data
sheets are available upon request.

INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR
CBO Inc. expects that the installer be experienced and qualified to perform the scope of work outlined in this
design. The installer must review this design thoroughly and coordinate with our office in advance of
installation. Any additional conditions in this design or county permit must be completed and documented
prior to final approval of the OWTS installation. Communication between the installer and this office is
expected throughout the installation.
INSTALLATION OBSERVATIONS CBO Inc. must view the OWTS during construction. The OWTS observation should be performed before
backfill, after placement of OWTS components. Septic tanks, distribution devices, pumps, dosing
siphons, and other plumbing, as applicable, must also be observed. CBO Inc. should be notified 48 hours
in advance to observe the installation.
In an effort to improve the accuracy of the record drawing, we request that the installer provide a
sketch of the installation, including path of the sewer lines, water line installation (if applicable),
septic tank location, STA location, and measurements from building corners or another fixed
objects on the property. This sketch is most easily provided on Sheet W2.0 of the OWTS Design
Packet. Photographs of the installation and final cover are also requested to supplement our installation
documentation.
Page 7
REVEGETATION REQUIREMENTS
An adequate layer of good quality topsoil capable of supporting revegetation shall be placed over the entire
disturbed area of the OWTS installation. A mixture of native grass seed that has good soil stabilizing
characteristics (but without taproots), provides a maximum transpiration rate, and competes well with
successional species. No trees or shrubs, or any vegetation requiring regular irrigation shall be placed over
the STA. Until vegetation is reestablished, erosion and sediment control measures shall be implemented
and maintained on site. The owner of the OWTS shall be responsible for maintaining proper vegetation
cover.
OPERATION INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE
The property owner shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of each OWTS servicing the
property. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service contracts for manufactured units,
alternating STAs, and any other components needing maintenance.
Geo-fabrics or plastics should not be used over the STA. No heavy equipment, machinery, or materials
should be placed on the backfilled STA. Machines with tracks (not wheels) should be used during
construction of the STA for better weight distribution. Livestock should not graze on the STA. Plumbing
fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additional water is being discharged to OWTS. For example, a
running toilet or leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm a STA.
If an effluent filter or screen has been installed in the OWTS, we recommend this filter or screen be cleaned
annually, or as needed. If the OWTS consists of a pressurized pump system, we recommend the laterals be
flushed annually, or as needed.
The homeowner should pump the septic tank every two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of
solids in the tank. Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non-biodegradable materials should not
be placed into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in household drains. Loading from a water softener
should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the OWTS.
Mechanical room drains should not discharge into the OWTS. The OWTS is engineered for domestic waste
only.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES If design includes a pump, weep holes must be installed to allow pump lines to drain to minimize risk of
freezing. The pump shall have an audible and visual alarm notification in the event of excessively high
water conditions and shall be connected to a control breaker separate from the high water alarm breaker
and from any other control system circuits. The pump system shall have a switch so the pump can be
manually operated.
Excavation equipment must not drive in excavation of the STA due to the potential to compact soil.
Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components to allow access to them from existing grade.
Backfill over the STA must be uniform and granular with no material greater than minus 3-inch.
LIMITS: The design is based on information submitted. If soil conditions encountered are different from conditions
described in report, CBO Inc. should be notified. All OWTS construction must be according to the county
regulations. Requirements not specified in this report must follow applicable county regulations. The
contractor should have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of
the county in which they are working. Licensing of Systems Contractors may be required by county
regulation.

Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 22-7-719
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a subsoil study for a proposed residence and barn/ADU to be
located at 999 County Road 238, Garfield County, Colorado. The project site is shown on
Figure 1. The purpose of the study was to develop recommendations for the foundation design.
The study was conducted in accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering
services to Ben Wagenman dated November 7, 2022.
A field exploration program consisting of exploratory borings was conducted to obtain
information on the subsurface conditions. Samples of the subsoils and bedrock obtained during
the field exploration were tested in the laboratory to determine their classification,
compressibility or swell and other engineering characteristics. The results of the field
exploration and laboratory testing were analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation
types, depths and allowable pressures for the proposed building foundation. This report
summarizes the data obtained during this study and presents our conclusions, design
recommendations and other geotechnical engineering considerations based on the proposed
construction and the subsurface conditions encountered.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed residence will be a 2-story structure with a walkout lower level and the barn/ADU
will be a pole structure located as shown on Figure 1. Ground floors will be slab-on-grade.
Grading for the structures is assumed to be relatively minor with cut depths of about 2 to 8 feet.
We assume relatively light foundation loadings, typical of the proposed type of construction.
If building loadings, locations or grading plans change significantly from those described above,
we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this report.
SITE CONDITIONS
The property was vacant and covered with about 4 inches of snow at the time of our field
exploration. The ground surface has a strong slope down to the south with around 3 feet of
elevation difference across each building footprint. Vegetation consists of mostly grass and
weeds with pinon and juniper trees along the building area perimeter. Large remnant sandstone
blocks were observed near the residence site.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted on December 28, 2022. Three exploratory
borings were drilled at the locations shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the subsurface conditions.
- 2 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 22-7-719
The borings were advanced with 4-inch diameter continuous flight augers powered by a truck-
mounted CME-45B drill rig. The borings were logged by a representative of Kumar &
Associates.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with a 2-inch I.D. spoon sampler. The sampler was driven
into the subsurface materials at various depths with blows from a 140 pound hammer falling 30
inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described by ASTM Method D-1586.
The penetration resistance values are an indication of the relative density or consistency of the
subsoils and hardness of the bedrock. Depths at which the samples were taken and the
penetration resistance values are shown on the Logs of Exploratory Borings, Figure 2. The
samples were returned to our laboratory for review by the project engineer and testing.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figure 2. The
subsoils encountered, below about ½ foot of topsoil, consist of medium dense, silty sand
overlying medium hard and weathered to very hard sandstone below depths of about 4 feet at
Boring 1 and 12 feet at Boring 2 in the residence site. In the barn site, medium dense silty sand
was encountered down to about 12 feet and underlain by clayey sand down to the boring depth of
21 feet.
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included natural moisture
content and density and finer than sand size gradation analyses. Results of swell-consolidation
testing performed on relatively undisturbed drive samples of the sand soils and weathered
sandstone, presented on Figures 4 through 7, indicate low to moderate compressibility under
loading and minor collapse potential (settlement under constant load) when wetted. The
laboratory testing is summarized in Table 1.
No free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling and the subsurface materials
were moist to slightly moist with depth.
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
FOUNDATIONS
Considering the subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory borings and the nature of
the proposed construction, we recommend the buildings be founded with spread footings bearing
on the natural granular soils or bedrock.
The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread footing
foundation system.
- 3 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 22-7-719
1) Footings placed on the undisturbed natural granular soils should be designed for
an allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. Based on experience, we expect
settlement of footings designed and constructed as discussed in this section will
be about 1 inch or less.
2) The footings should have a minimum width of 16 inches for continuous walls and
2 feet for isolated pads.
3) Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided with
adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost protection. Placement
of foundations at least 36 inches below exterior grade is typically used in this
area.
4) 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 also be designed to resist
lateral earth pressures as discussed in the "Foundation and Retaining Walls"
section of this report.
5) The topsoil and any loose or disturbed soils should be removed and the footing
bearing level extended down to the natural granular soils. The exposed soils in
footing area should then be moistened and compacted. If water seepage is
encountered, the footing areas should be dewatered before concrete placement.
6) A representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe all footing
excavations prior to concrete placement to evaluate bearing conditions.
FOUNDATION AND RETAINING WALLS
Foundation walls and retaining structures which are laterally supported and can be expected to
undergo only a slight amount of deflection should be designed for a lateral earth pressure
computed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 50 pcf for backfill consisting
of the on-site granular soils. Cantilevered retaining structures which are separate from the
structure and can be expected to deflect sufficiently to mobilize the full active earth pressure
condition should be designed for a lateral earth pressure computed on the basis of an equivalent
fluid unit weight of at least 40 pcf for backfill consisting of the on-site granular soils.
All foundation and retaining structures should be designed for appropriate hydrostatic and
surcharge pressures such as adjacent footings, traffic, construction materials and equipment. The
pressures recommended above assume drained conditions behind the walls and a horizontal
backfill surface. The buildup of water behind a wall or an upward sloping backfill surface will
increase the lateral pressure imposed on a foundation wall or retaining structure. An underdrain
should be provided to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup behind walls.
- 4 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 22-7-719
Backfill should be placed in uniform lifts and compacted to at least 90% of the maximum
standard Proctor density at near optimum moisture content. Backfill placed in pavement and
walkway areas should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density.
Care should be taken not to overcompact the backfill or use large equipment near the wall, since
this could cause excessive lateral pressure on the wall. Some settlement of deep foundation wall
backfill should be expected, even if the material is placed correctly, and could result in distress to
facilities constructed on the backfill. Backfill should not contain organics, debris or rock larger
than about 6 inches.
The lateral resistance of foundation or retaining wall footings will be a combination of the
sliding resistance of the footing on the foundation materials and passive earth pressure against
the side of the footing. Resistance to sliding at the bottoms of the footings can be calculated
based on a coefficient of friction of 0.40. Passive pressure of compacted backfill against the
sides of the footings can be calculated using an equivalent fluid unit weight of 375 pcf. The
coefficient of friction and passive pressure values recommended above assume ultimate soil
strength. Suitable factors of safety should be included in the design to limit the strain which will
occur at the ultimate strength, particularly in the case of passive resistance. Fill placed against
the sides of the footings to resist lateral loads should be a granular material compacted to at least
95% of the maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum.
FLOOR SLABS
The natural on-site soils or bedrock, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support lightly loaded
slab-on-grade 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 basement level slabs to facilitate drainage.
This material should consist of minus 2-inch aggregate with at least 50% retained on 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
onsite granular soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized rock.
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although free water was not encountered during our exploration, it has been our experience in
the area and where bedrock is shallow that local perched groundwater can develop during times
- 5 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 22-7-719
of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground during spring runoff can create a
perched condition. We recommend below-grade construction, such as retaining walls,
crawlspace 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 1½ feet deep.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
The following drainage precautions should be observed during construction and maintained at all
times after each structure has been completed:
1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be avoided
during construction.
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 paved areas. Free-draining wall backfill should be
covered with filter fabric and capped with about 2 feet of the on-site soils to
reduce surface water infiltration.
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
5 feet from foundation walls.
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 express or implied.
The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the exploratory borings drilled at the locations indicated on Figure 1, the proposed type of
construction and our experience in the area. Our services do not include determining the

Garfield County – Community Development
RE: Wagenman Secondary Dwelling Unit (GAPA 01-24-8994)
Attached are the requested documents.
1. The property was created by the Maves Subdivision Exemption in 2003/2004 by the plat at Reception # 645003. It appears to have been inappropriately altered by a Boundary Line Adjustment at Reception # 662890. Based on the current information, an Amended Final Plat will be necessary to correct the plat prior to any permit being finalized. Please reach out to staff to schedule a Preapplication Conference to discuss.
Meeting scheduled for Friday January 19th to discuss. Agreed and understood this would need to
be completed prior to any permit being finalized. 2. A narrative description of the request is required. The narrative should include all waiver of submittal requirements requests and address Section 4-202’s review criteria for those requests.
The proposed project is to build a barn with living quarters on the second level totaling 1,708 sq
ft, which is over the maximum ADU sq footage allowed. The project is to be built by owners of
the property as time permits with no outside contract labor planned. The current easement
provides access to the property. Once the project is complete, owners plan to occupy the barn
living quarters during the future construction of a home on the property.
The property is currently approved for 1 dwelling unit. Due to the size of the proposed project,
we are requesting approval for a 2nd dwelling unit on the property. The project size is small; not
complex; does not have any anticipated impacts; and the information requested is not material.
Thus, we are requesting a waiver of the following submittal requirements as they are not
applicable:
4-203 Section A, E, F, H, I, J, K, L, M (aside from well permit information already provided), N
(aside from septic information already provided), and O. 3. A Waiver of Submittal Requirements for a Grading and Drainage Plan should be provided. A surveyed site review of existing conditions was provided in the application packet. This included an existing topographic survey. We are requesting a waiver of submittal requirements for grading and drainage. Property does not currently have any existing structures, waterbodies, hydrologic features, intermittent water features, wetlands or 100-year floodplain boundaries. Property does not contain any steep slopes. There will not be any temporary roads during construction and erosion is not expected to be an issue. No soil or snow stockpile/storage areas are necessary or applicable. The property is relatively flat and the building site does not anticipate any grading, topographic or drainage issues. Storm drainage structures and runoff issues are not applicable. Hydraulic calculations, maintenance requirements and spill preventions are not deemed applicable to this project. Surrounding area consists of vacant ranch land; public lands; another vacant lot in the Maves Subdivision; and a private residence on acreage. Upon project completion, wild grass
seed mix will be spread to match existing native species. Weed spray will be spread on areas where noxious weeds are present. 4. An impact analysis, Section 4-203.G, is required. Each item in this section should be responded to.
1. Adjacent land use consists of vacant ranch land; public lands; a vacant lot in the Maves
Subdivision; and private residences.
2. Site features include pinyon trees and native grass. There are no bodies of water or streams.
Property is slightly slopped to the south west.
3. A soils report has been provided in the application packet.
4. No known or expected geological or other hazards. The project is within the Colorado River
Fire District jurisdiction and a copy of their hazard mitigation plan is included in the
application packet.
5. No known or expected groundwater or aquifer recharge area issues.
6. No known or expected environmental impacts on flora/fauna; wildlife; or domestic animals.
7. No known or expected nuisance impacts.
8. Project would be completed during daylight hours on weekdays with work on weekends as
time permits.
Please contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you on the project.
