PURPOSE 1.1 GENERAL CMT Technical Services - Colorado (CMT) performed a geotechnical study for a new water tank at the Ranch at Roaring Fork HOA on the north side of Highway 82, adjacent to an existing water tank. The study was made to characterize existing subsurface conditions at a proposed location of the new tank; to assist in determining design criteria for planning, site development, foundation systems, and surface drainage of the new tank; and to address other pertinent geotechnical considerations. Information gathered during the field exploration and laboratory testing is summarized in Figures 1 and 2 and Appendices A and B. CMT’s opinions and recommendations presented in this report are based on data generated during this field exploration, laboratory testing, and its experience. 1.2 SCOPE OF SERVICES The scope of services performed is detailed in CMT’s Proposal Agreement No. 501666.P01A, which was executed on March 3, 2026. 2. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS This section is intended as a summary only and does not include design details. The report should be read in its entirety and utilized for design. • Three borings were drilled using the ODEX (overburden drilling eccentric) drilling method. • CMT’s borings encountered 11 to 23 feet of medium dense to dense poorly-graded gravel, with cobbles and boulders in a silty clay matrix. • 6 to 9 feet of soft to very stiff clay with silt, classified as CL or CL-ML, was encountered below the medium dense to dense poorly graded gravel. • Very dense gravels and boulders underlie the clay with silt extending to the maximum depth explored of 33 feet. • Groundwater was encountered in one boring at the time of drilling at a depth of 24 feet, and was not observed in the borings, 10 to 11 days after drilling. • A boring at the new tank location was converted to a monitoring well. • Due to the known debris fan of the site and bedrock of the Eagle Valley Evaporite, an inclinometer well was installed, south of the new tank. • Based on the soils encountered, the site is classified as seismic Site Class D and seismic Design Category II. • A tank with a concrete ring foundation with a welded steel shell is planned. Due to the consolidation potential of the soft clay, the tank foundation should be supported by piers with a mat pier cap (conformed to ANSI/AWWA D103-19). • A 6 inch compacted granular leveling layer over 6 inch compacted structural fill is recommended beneath the mat pier cap to improve uniformity of support. • Imported material or onsite sand soils may be reused as structural fill. • A consolidation potential of the clay with silt layer was tested to be -0.1% upon wetting at a surcharge load of 1,884psf. • Good surface drainage should be established, and positive drainage away from the new tank should be provided during construction and maintained throughout its life. CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 2 3. SITE CONDITIONS The site is located at 14913 Highway 82, Carbondale, Colorado. A vicinity map is shown in Figure 1. The site is currently undeveloped land. The site is bounded by an irrigation ditch to the north and by undeveloped land to the south, east, and west. The topography of the site is gently to moderately sloping with a grade change of approximately 12 feet within a lateral distance of 120 feet from the existing tank to the west, and a grade change of approximately 17 feet within a lateral distance of 120 feet from the existing tank to the south. According to survey information from the client, the bottom of the existing tank is at an elevation of 6,306.5 feet. Vegetation onsite consists of trees along the banks of the irrigation ditch and grasses and sparse brush at the proposed new tank site. Bedrock outcrops were not observed. There is an irrigation ditch behind the existing tank, see Photo 3. The ditch did not contain water during drilling on March 19 and 20, 2026, but it was filled up to approximately 1.5 feet lower than the bottom of the existing tank on March 30, 2026, 10 to 11 days after drilling. CMT understands the client has a concern about land movement due to the known debris fan of the Eagle Valley Evaporite, evidenced by a continuing trench from the western side to the southern side of the existing tank.

Aerial view of the site. 4. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The proposed construction will be a steel tank approximately 39.2 feet outside diameter and approximately 28.2 feet in height and located approximately 50 feet west of the existing tank. The tank is still in the design phase. CMT understands preliminary design is a concrete ring foundation with a welded steel shell. Excavations are estimated to be approximately 5 feet with anticipated changes to site grades limited to approximately 5 feet. CMT understands tank design will follow the guidelines of ANSI/AWWA D103-19. If the final tank elevation differs by more than 2 feet from the proposed grade, CMT should be informed so the recommendations in this report can be re-evaluated. 5. GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS 5.1 SURFICIAL DEPOSITS As shown in Exhibit 1, the Geologic Map of the Carbondale Quadrangle, Garfield County, Colorado, prepared for the USGS by Kirkham, R.M., and Widmann, B.L., dated 2008, indicates surficial deposits onsite likely consist of: • “Alluvium and Mass Wasting Deposits, sediments in debris fans, stream channels, flood plain, and hillslopes along tributary valleys, including Qdfy”. • “Mass Wasting Deposits, sediments on valley sides, valley floors, and hillslopes transported and deposited primarily by gravity, including Qc”. • “Alluvium Deposit, sediments deposited in stream channels, flood plains, glacial outwash terraces, and sheetwash areas, including Qty and Qtm ”.

The approximate location of the site is shown with a red star. 6. FIELD EXPLORATION Subsurface conditions were explored on March 19 and 20, 2026, by drilling three borings using the ODEX drilling method at the locations indicated in Figure 2. Borings were drilled 24.3 to 33 feet deep. CMT initially had Boring B-1 advanced within the proposed tank footprint at the location provided by the client during the proposal preparation, as indicated by the yellow circle in Photo 4. After the completion of Boring B-1, the client representative visited the site and provided revised information identifying an updated tank location. CMT advanced a replacement boring, Boring B-1A, at the updated tank location and installed temporary groundwater monitoring wells within the boring. Boring B-1A was advanced approximately 50 feet east of the original B-1 location (i.e., closer to the existing tank), as shown by the red circle in Photo 4. Photos 5 through 8 show Borings B-1, B-1A, and B-2 during the exploration. The State of Colorado’s Division of Water Resources (DWR) considers monitoring wells to be temporary for the initial period of 18 months. After 18 months, DWR requires wells to be permitted and maintained as such or abandoned onsite (removed and/or plugged). If requested by Client, CMT can assist with well abandonment and/or the process of permitting when the 18 month period is coming to an end. Site CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 7 Prior to drilling and installing the monitor well, CMT filed the appropriate “Notice of Intent” forms (Form GWS-51) with DWR. After constructing the monitor wells, CMT filed the appropriate “Well Construction Reports” (Form GWS-31) with DWR. The groundwater monitoring wells were constructed using a 2 inch diameter PVC pipe consisting of screened/slotted intervals and solid/riser intervals. The screen intervals were placed from the bottom of the boring up to the approximate water level, with the solid portion continuing from there to the ground surface, in the case of flush mount wells, or to 2 to 3 feet above ground surface, in the case of stick up wells. 10/20 silica sand was placed around the screen portions of the pipe and to 1 to 2 feet above the screen portion. Bentonite pellets were placed on top of the silica sand to the ground surface. The bentonite was “charged” by adding water to encourage expansion and sealing. The monitor well was constructed as stick up monuments where a steel protective cover is placed around the PVC pipe, and a concrete pad is constructed at the ground surface around the cover, see Photo 8 below. Graphical details of the monitor wells and graphical logs of the subsurface conditions observed, locations of sampling, and further explanation of the exploration are presented in the boring logs contained in Appendix A. Due to the known debris fan of the site and bedrock of the Eagle Valley Evaporite, CMT installed an inclinometer at Boring B-2. The inclinometer was installed with PVC casing and a grouted outside collar. CMT will check the inclinometer on a 3 to 6 month interval for a designated time frame, agreed upon by the client and the HOA. The inclinometer can remain onsite during construction and after the water tank is operational to provide additional risk management monitoring if desired. The purpose of the inclinometer is to measure potential subsurface movement, to help with designs, and to provide risk management methods for the proposed water tank. Photo 5.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS CMT’s borings encountered: • 11 to 23 feet of medium dense to dense poorly-graded gravel, with cobbles and boulders, in a silty clay matrix. • 6 to 9 feet of soft to stiff clay with silt layer, classified as CL-ML, was encountered below the medium dense to dense poorly graded gravel. • Very dense gravels and boulders were encountered below the clay with silt extending to the maximum depth explored of 33 feet. • Groundwater was encountered in Boring B-1 at the time of drilling at a depth of 24 feet and was not encountered in the borings, 10 days after drilling. CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 10 The subsurface conditions encountered in CMT’s borings are consistent with those described in Section 5. GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS. These observations represent conditions at the time of field exploration and may not be indicative of other times or other locations. 9. GROUNDWATER Borings were checked for the presence of groundwater during drilling and Boring B-1 was temporarily covered and checked for water 10 days after drilling. Measurements are summarized in Table 9.1. TABLE 9.1.

Discontinuous zones of perched water may exist or develop within the overburden material and/or upper zones of the bedrock. CMT’s field explorations were performed during the winter when groundwater levels are usually low. Groundwater levels may be higher or lower at other times of the year. 10. GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS 10.1 COMPRESSIBLE SOIL A sample of the clay with silt, in its present conditions, was tested and has moderate consolidation potential and a low to moderate collapse potential and -0.1% volume change at an inundation pressure of 1,884 psf, . Negative values indicate collapse upon wetting. Results of swell/consolidation testing performed are summarized in Table 10.1. TABLE 10.1. Summary of Swell/Consolidation Laboratory Testing Sample Material Type Inundation Pressure (psf) Swell (+) or Compression (-) Upon Wetting (%) Swell Pressure (psf) Generalized Volume Change Category B-1 at 19 feet Clay matrix, silty 1,884 -0.1 NA Low NA = not applicable Silty clay encountered onsite may be prone to movement upon an increase in moisture content (i.e., wetting). Laboratory results reflect the sample’s behavior, while the soil's collapse potential at the site could be greater, increasing the risk of settlement. Foundations bearing on these materials should be anticipated to experience settlement, potentially of approximately 1 to 2 inches or greater. Subsurface explorations performed by CMT indicate clay layers are present at variable depths and CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 11 with varying thicknesses across the site. This variability may contribute to the differential settlement of foundations. Due to the inherent variability of subsurface conditions and the limited extent of the exploration, variations in soil conditions may exist between boring locations. Accordingly, the potential for total and differential settlement may be greater than indicated. 10.2. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS 10.2.1 Collapsible Soil Collapsible soils are typically low-density, partially saturated deposits (often silty or sandy with weak clay bonding) that appear stable in a dry condition but undergo sudden and significant volume reduction when wetted under load. This collapse occurs as moisture weakens interparticle bonds and the soil structure rearranges into a denser configuration, leading to rapid settlement that can distress foundations, slabs, and pavements. In geotechnical design, awareness focuses on identifying susceptible soils through density, moisture, and collapse potential testing and recognizing triggers such as irrigation, leakage, or rising groundwater. Mitigation measures commonly include moisture control, prewetting or compaction, removal and replacement, or the use of deep foundations to bypass the collapsible layer, depending on the severity and project sensitivity. 10.2.2 Eagle Valley Evaporite Bedrock The Eagle Valley Formation evaporite bedrock consists of gypsum, anhydrite, and locally halite-rich strata interbedded with weaker clastic soils and is associated with significant geotechnical risk due to its solubility and variable behavior. Dissolution of evaporite minerals can create subsurface voids, karst features, and irregular rock profiles that lead to differential settlement or sudden collapse, while hydration of anhydrite to gypsum may cause localized heave. Groundwater conditions play a critical role, as fluctuations can accelerate dissolution and reduce material strength over time. In geotechnical design, careful site characterization (often including supplemental methods beyond conventional borings), conservative foundation selection, the use of deep foundations, and strict groundwater and surface water control are essential to mitigate long-term performance risks. 10.2.3 Seismic Considerations The soil types present onsite are classified as Type D according to the 2021 IBC (ASCE 7, Chapter 20), based on penetration tests and CMT’s experience. Additional geophysical studies are necessary to justify a different site classification. 11. FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS 11.2 DRILLED PIERS A concrete ring foundation supporting a welded steel shell was initially considered; however, a mat foundation supported by drilled piers is considered more suitable for the proposed ground-level storage tank. The mat foundation is designed to accommodate the specific tank geometry and loading conditions and functions to support the tank shell while transferring loads from the foundation, tank, and contained water to the drilled piers. The proposed foundation system should consist of straight- shaft drilled piers designed in accordance with the following recommendations: a) Dead load plus full live load of the tank and its foundation should be used for pier sizing. CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 12 b) A 6 inch compacted granular leveling layer over 6 inch compacted structural fill is recommended beneath the mat pier cap to improve uniformity of support, by using CDOT Class 1 Structural Fill or Class 5 aggregate base course, well-graded granular material (e.g., minus 3/4 inch crushed rock) compacted to specifications. c) Piers will be drilled after the completion of the leveling layer. d) Depth of wetting zone below ground surface assumed for design is 24 feet. e) Maximum allowable end bearing pressure of 20,000 psf in dense gravel (blow counts of 50 blows per 6 inches or denser). f) No side shear shall be used to resist downward axial load (compression load) for the pier in natural soil or manmade fill. g) Allowable side shear of 2,000 psf for the portion of pier in dense gravel. h) Minimum dead load pressure is assumed to be zero. i) The soft clay with silt fill below and above the gravel layers will continue to settle. The portion of the piers in the clay layer will experience downdrag. The design of piers should account for downdrag on the piers from the clay with silt layer. CMT recommends the downdrag be calculated for the upper gravel layer. The downdrag should be calculated as a friction force using 440 psf. j) Piers should be reinforced their full length to resist tension forces. k) Piers should have a center-to-center spacing of at least 3 pier diameters when designing for vertical loading conditions or be designed as a group. l) Piers aligned in the direction of lateral forces should have center-to-center spacing of at least 6 pier diameters. m) Piers shall have a minimum diameter of 18 inches. n) Piers shall have a minimum length of 30 feet below the mat pier cap. o) It is anticipated casing will be needed for most of the drilled shafts Casing of a portion of the drilled shafts may be necessary to permit proper cleaning and observation prior to concrete placement because of potential influx of groundwater and/or caving. Concrete should not be placed by freefall through more than 3 inches of water. If more than 3 inches of water is present at the base of the shaft, proper tremie techniques shall be utilized to place concrete from the bottom of the shaft or the water shall be removed. Drilled shafts are not allowed to remain open overnight. p) Difficult drilling may be encountered in the dense gravel and boulders. Use of coring equipment may be required. Pier penetration may not be decreased unless acceptable by the project structural and geotechnical engineers. q) Concrete for each pier should be formed at the top of the pier, if necessary, to achieve a uniform diameter at the top of the pier. Excess concrete or overpour resulting in enlargement of the pier shall be removed. r) Proper concrete mixture design for drilled shafts varies with the design stress intensity, anticipated concrete placement procedures, and spacing of the reinforcement. It is recommended current design and construction procedures outlined by the ACI and the International ADSC be followed. Per these guidelines, current practice is to use a concrete mixture design slump in the range of 5 to 7 inches if casing is to be utilized or the shaft is heavily reinforced. A design slump in the range of 7 to 9 inches with 3/4 inch maximum CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 13 size aggregate is recommended if concrete is to be placed by tremie or pumping methods. Additional recommendations as outlined by ACI and ADCS should also be followed. s) Pier drilling should be observed by a CMT representative in an effort to confirm actual subsurface conditions are consistent with those presented in this study. If conditions deviate significantly, recommendations may need to be modified. 12. LATERAL EARTH PRESSURES 12.1 FOUNDATION WALLS Lateral pressures on walls depend on the type of wall, hydrostatic pressure behind the wall, type of backfill material, and allowable wall movements. Where anticipated wall movements are greater than 0.5% of the wall height, lateral earth pressures can be estimated for an "active" condition. Where anticipated wall movement is less than approximately 0.5% of the wall height or wall movement is constrained, lateral earth pressures should be estimated for an "at rest" condition. Recommended lateral earth pressures for onsite material are provided in Table 12.1. The recommended values for lateral earth pressures provided in Table 12.1 are given in terms of an equivalent unit weight. The equivalent unit weight multiplied by the depth below the top of the ground surface is the horizontal pressure against the wall at that depth. The resulting pressure distribution is a triangular shape. These soil pressures are for horizontal backfill with no surcharge loading or hydrostatic pressures. If these criteria cannot be met, CMT should be contacted for additional criteria. CMT understands resistance to lateral loading for footing foundations may be a concern, particularly for the structural fill be placed below the tank. The unfactored or ultimate coefficients of sliding resistance between concrete and bearing soils are provided in Table 12.1. TABLE 12.1. Lateral Earth Pressures and Coefficients of Sliding Resistance for Backfill. Backfill Material Type Equivalent Unit Weight (pcf) Coefficient of Sliding Resistance Active At Rest Passive Structural Fill 40 60 330 0.45 13. EXCAVATIONS Conventional earthmoving equipment should be adequate to excavate the onsite soil. Excavations should be properly sloped and/or braced, and local and federal safety codes observed. Slopes and other areas void of vegetation should be protected against erosion. If temporary shoring is required, a contractor specializing in design and construction of shoring should be contacted. It is the contractor’s responsibility to provide safe working conditions and comply with the regulations in OSHA Standards-Excavations, 29 CFR Part 1926. The following guidelines are provided for planning purposes. Sloping and shoring requirements must be evaluated at the time of construction by the contractor’s competent person as defined by OSHA. The geotechnical engineer is NOT the contractor’s “competent person” in any circumstance, including but not limited to, by way of default or delegation. OSHA classifications for various material types and the steepest allowable slope configuration corresponding to those classifications are shown in Table 13.1. CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 14 TABLE 13.1. Allowable Slope Configuration for Onsite Material Material Type OSHA Classification Steepest Allowable Slope Configuration* Clay with silt Type B 1:1 Gravel Type C 1-1/2:1 *Units horizontal to units vertical. The values shown apply to excavation less than 20 feet in height. Conditions can change and evaluation is the contractor’s responsibility. The classifications and slope configurations in Table 13.1 assume excavations are above the groundwater table, there is no standing water in the excavations, and there is no seepage from the slope into the excavations, unless otherwise specified. The above classifications and slope configurations assume the material in the excavations is not fractured, adversely bedded, jointed, nor left open to desiccate, crack, or slough, and are protected from surface runoff. There are other considerations regarding allowable slope configurations the contractor is responsible for, including proximity of equipment, stockpiles, and other surcharge loads to the excavation. The contractor’s competent person is responsible for decisions regarding slope configuration and safety conditions for excavations. Excavations should not undermine existing foundation systems of structures or infrastructure unless they are adequately protected. At a minimum, new excavations should not intersect a line drawn using the steepest allowable slope configuration from Table 13.1 down and away from the bottom edge of the existing foundation systems or bottom edge of infrastructure. If this condition cannot be met, shoring or staged excavations may be required. If shoring is required, a condition survey of the adjacent structures is recommended before construction starts and upon completion of construction. In CMT’s experience, condition surveys include, but may not be limited to, photographs of distress to adjacent structures. Permanent slopes should be no steeper than 2:1 and revegetated or otherwise protected from erosion. 14. STRUCTURAL FILL/BACKFILL SOIL Where fill/backfill soil is necessary, the suitable onsite inorganic soil may be used. At this site, unsuitable material is defined as topsoil, organics, trash, ash, frozen material, hard lumps and clods, claystone, and particles larger than 3 inches. Existing onsite fill material and sand soils can be reused for structural fill/backfill, provided they are free of unsuitable material. If unsuitable material is encountered in the existing fill, it must be removed before the existing fill can be reused as fill/backfill. Recommendations for fill/backfill placement are: a) Fill/backfill material should be placed in loose lifts and compacted in accordance with Table 14.1. b) Maximum loose lift thickness shall be 9 inches, depending on the type of equipment used to apply compactive effort and shall be reduced if the specified compaction cannot be obtained with the equipment used. c) Fill/backfill should not be placed if material is frozen or if the placement surface is frozen. d) Fill/backfill material should be placed and spread in horizontal lifts of uniform thickness in a manner that avoids segregation. e) Placement surface should be kept free of standing water, debris, and unsuitable material during placement and compaction of fill/backfill material. CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 15 f) Fill/backfill maximum allowable particle size is 3 inches. Do not incorporate oversize material in the fill/backfill that is incapable of being broken down by the equipment and methods being employed to process and compact the fill/backfill. Process and compact material in the lift, as necessary, to produce the specified fill/backfill characteristics. If oversize particles remain in the lift after processing and compacting, remove oversize material to produce a fill/backfill within specified requirements. TABLE 14.1.

The vibratory equipment must be capable of exerting a minimum of 15,000 pounds of centrifugal force. The gravel particles shall be in a surface CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 16 saturated condition. Each lift shall be rolled with a minimum of four passes or until no visible compaction of the layer is observed, whichever is greater. 15. SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE Groundwater was measured at a depth of 24 feet below the existing ground surface at the tank location during drilling and was not observed 10 to 11 days after drilling. The groundwater depth is greater than 3 feet from the bottom of the foundation of the proposed tank at the time of this study. Since the structure has no below grade construction, a subsurface drain is not considered necessary for this tank. If below grade construction is considered for this tank, CMT should be notified to review this recommendation. 16. SURFACE DRAINAGE Good drainage and surface water management are important. Performance of site improvements, such as foundations and hardscape are often adversely affected by failing to establish and/or maintain good site drainage. Grades must be adjusted to provide positive drainage away from the tank and other site improvements during construction and maintained throughout the life of the proposed facility. The following drainage precautions are recommended: a) Ground surface around the tank foundation should be sloped to drain away from the tank. At the completion of construction, CMT recommends a continuous slope away from the tank foundation of 12 inches in the first 10 feet (10%), where site constraints permit. Maximum grades practical should be used for paving and flatwork to prevent areas where water can pond. b) Ground surface should be sloped so water will not pond between or adjacent to tank foundation and other site improvements. Other improvements should not block, impede, or otherwise disrupt surface runoff. Use of chases and weep holes to promote drainage is encouraged. c) Drainage swales should be located as far away from the tank foundation as practicable. d) If site constraints do not allow for the recommended slopes, the project civil engineer shall provide a method for drainage equivalent to the recommendations herein. Water should not be allowed to pond adjacent to or near foundations, flatwork, or other improvements. e) The project civil engineer shall perform measurements to document positive drainage, as described in this section or as otherwise designed by the project civil engineer is achieved. Maintenance of surface drainage is imperative subsequent to construction and is the responsibility of the owner and/or tenant. 17. SOIL CHEMICAL TESTING 17.1 SULFATE EXPOSURE A water-soluble sulfate content of 0.00% were measured on samples of clay. The result is summarized in Appendix B. The PCA publication titled Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures 2002 and the ACI publication titled Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary consider this range S0 for water soluble sulfate exposure. Recommendations for concrete which will be in contact with or within 6 inches of the clay are shown in Table 17.1. CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 17 TABLE 17.1 Information from ACI 318-08 - Table 4.3.1 Water Soluble Sulfates (%) Exposure Class Maximum (w/cm)* Minimum f ’c, (psi) Cementitious materials† (types) Calcium Chloride Admixture ASTM C150 ASTM C595 ASTM C1157 <0.10 S0 N/A 2,500 No type restriction No type restriction No type restriction No restriction *For lightweight concrete, see ACI 318-08 4.1.2. †Alternative combinations of cementitious materials listed in Table 4.3.1 shall be permitted when tested for sulfate resistance and meeting the criteria in ACI 318-08 4.5.1. ‡For seawater exposure, other types of Portland cements with tricalcium aluminate (C3A) contents up to 10 percent are permitted if the w/cm does not exceed 0.40. Refer to ACI 318-08 R4.3.1 for further interpretation of this table. 17.2 SOIL CORROSIVITY Results of soil chemical testing are presented in Table 17.2. Table A.1 of the AWWA Standard for Polyethylene Encasement for Ductile-Iron Pipe Systems assigns point values to the results of soil chemical tests. If the sum of the points assigned to a given sample is 10 points or greater, AWWA considers the soil corrosive to ductile iron pipe, and states protection is needed. CMT recommends manufacturers be consulted by the design team prior to selection and installation of products that will be in contact with the onsite material. TABLE 17.2.

GEOTECHNICAL RISK The concept of risk is an important aspect of geotechnical studies. The primary reason for this is the analytical methods used by geotechnical engineers are typically empirical and must be tempered by engineering judgment and experience. The solutions or recommendations presented in a geotechnical study should not be considered risk free and, more importantly, are not a guarantee the interaction between the soil and the proposed construction will perform as predicted, desired, or intended. The engineering recommendations presented in the preceding sections constitute CMT’s evaluation of those measures necessary to help the structure/pavement perform in a satisfactory manner based on the information generated during this study/evaluation, training, and experience in working with these conditions. 19. LIMITATIONS This document has been prepared as an instrument of service for the exclusive use of Ranch at Roaring Fork HOA for the specific application to the project as discussed herein and has been prepared in accordance with geotechnical engineering practices typically accepted in the state of Colorado at the date of its preparation. No warranties, either expressed or implied, are intended or made. This document should not be assumed to contain information for other parties or other purposes. The findings of this study are valid as of the date of its preparation. Changes in the conditions of a CMT TECHNICAL SERVICES - COLORADO 501666 Water Tank at Ranch at Roaring Fork Report 05.14.26 18 property can occur with the passage of time, whether due to natural processes or the works of people on this or adjacent properties. Standards of practice evolve in engineering and changes in applicable or appropriate standards may occur, whether a result from legislation or the broadening of knowledge. Accordingly, the findings of this study may be invalidated wholly or partially by changes outside of CMT’s control; therefore, this study is subject to review and should not be relied upon without such review after a period of 3 years. In the event changes, including, but not limited to, the nature, type, design, size, elevation, or location of the project or project elements as outlined in this report, are made, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid unless CMT reviews the changes and either confirms or modifies the conclusions of this report in writing. CMT should be retained to review final plans and specifications that are developed for proposed construction to judge whether the recommendations presented in this report and addenda have been appropriately interpreted and incorporated in the project plans and specifications as intended. The exploration locations for this study were selected to obtain a depiction of underground conditions for design purposes and these locations are often modified based on accessibility and the presence of underground or overhead utility conflicts. Variations from the soil conditions encountered are possible. These variations may necessitate modifications to CMT’s design recommendations; therefore, CMT should be retained to observe subsurface conditions, once exposed, to evaluate whether they are consistent with the conditions encountered during CMT’s exploration and that the recommendations of this study remain valid. If parties other than CMT perform these observations and judgements, they must accept responsibility to judge whether the recommendations in this report remain appropriate. CMT’s scope of services for this report did not include either specifically, or by implication, an environmental assessment of the site or identification of contaminated or hazardous material or conditions. Additionally, none of the services performed in connection with this study were designed or conducted for the purpose of mold prevention. Proper implementation of the recommendations conveyed in this report will not, of itself, be enough to prevent mold from growing in or on the structures involved. At a minimum, CMT should be retained during construction to observe and/or test: • completed excavations. • placement and compaction of fill. • pier/pile drilling operations. • proposed import or onsite fill material. • placement and compaction of pavement subgrade, subbase, base course and asphalt. CMT offers many other construction observations, materials engineering, and testing services and can be contacted to discuss further.

Modified California and standard split spoon samplers were driven into the soil by dropping a 140 pound hammer through a free fall of 30 inches. The modified California sampler is a 2-1/2 inch outside diameter by 2 inch inside diameter device lined with brass tubes. The split spoon sampler is a 2 inch outside diameter by 1-3/8 inch inside diameter device. The procedure to drive these samplers into the soil and to record the number of blows required to drive the sampler into the soil is known as a penetration test. The number of blows required for the sampler to penetrate 12 inches gives an indication of the relative stiffness of cohesive soil, relative density of non-cohesive soil, and relative hardness of sedimentary bedrock material encountered. Bulk samples were collected from cuttings generated during drilling. Locations of sampling and penetration test results are presented on the boring logs contained in this appendix. CMT installed temporary monitoring wells in Boring B-1A. Groundwater level measurements within the temporary monitoring wells are included in Table 9.1. Groundwater can be expected to fluctuate with variations in seasons, drainage, site vegetation, irrigation, or weather conditions. CMT installed inclinometers in Boring B-2 to measure slope movement. Inclinometer casing (2.75 inch diameter casing) was installed in Boring B-2 to the maximum depth drilled of 33 feet and the annular space was filled with grout. The casing installed has two sets of groves on the inside of the casing. The probe used to measure the change in inclination of the pipe has wheels that fit into the grooves and guide the probe along the casing. The inclinometer casing was placed so that one set of grooves was perpendicular to the slope (the A-Axis). The second set of grooves were parallel with slope (the B-Axis). Movement downhill was recorded as positive on the A-Axis and movement uphill was recorded as negative on the A-Axis. When looking downhill, movement to the right was recorded as positive on the B-Axis and movement to the left was recorded as negative on the B-Axis. Measurements of the change of inclination of the pipe will be made at regular intervals. 11 20 24.3 6279 6270 6265.7 GRAVEL, poorly graded to clayey, in a silty clay matrix, slightly moist, light brown, granite chips.
