Dear Whit:
At your request on June 23, 2022, we visited the construction site for your proposed Residence on
the Parcel of Land in SE1/4 SE1/4, Section 6 T7S R87W 6th PM, County Parcel #
239106400146, CR 115, Garfield County, Colorado. The purpose of our site visit was to observe the
soils exposed in the foundation excavations for the proposed residence and compare them with the
findings and recommendations of the Soil=s and Foundation Investigation, under the same project
number dated, dated April 13, 2021.
The excavation consisted of two benches, one for the main house and the other for the garage.
The cuts ranged from about 3 to 7 feet below the existing grade in the foundation excavation for the
main residence and from about 7 to 11 feet in the excavation for the garage. The soil exposed in the
foundation excavation consisted of yellowish to reddish, silty to sandy to gravelly clay and is suitable
for the recommended bearing capacity of 3000 psf and a minimum dead load of 1000psf.
We recommend compliance with the recommendations of the above-named soil report during the
remainder of the construction, specifically with the sections on drainage, grading and irrigation.
This report has been prepared according to locally accepted Professional Geotechnical
Engineering standards for similar methods of testing and soil conditions at this time. The findings and
recommendation stated above are based on the soil conditions observed in the completed foundation
excavation only. There is no other warranty either expressed or implied.
Sincerely,
LKP Engineering, Inc.
