M99238GE <br />• - The materials encountered in the test borings were described <br />and samples retrieved for the subsequent laboratory study. <br />- The laboratory study included tests of select soil samples <br />obtained during the field study to help assess; <br />. the soil strength potential (internal friction angle and <br />cohesion) of samples tested, <br />. the moisture content and density of samples tested, and <br />. the moisture content-dry density relationship (Proctor) test <br />of the subgrade support soil sample tested. <br />- This report presents our geotechnical engineering comments, <br />suggestions and recommendations for planning and design of site <br />development including embankment slope and excavation cut slope <br />stability assessment. <br />Our comments, suggestions and recommendations are based on the <br />subsurface soil and ground water conditions encountered during <br />our site and laboratory studies. <br />- Our requested scope of services was only to provide strength <br />test results and comments regarding the slope stability of the <br />proposed embankment fill and excavation cut slopes for the <br />proposed pond "B". <br />• - Our study did not include any environmental or geologic hazard <br />issues. Our study did not include assessment of seepage <br />characteristics. <br />2.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS <br />Site characteristics include observed existing and pre-existing <br />site conditions that may influence the geotechnical engineering <br />aspects of the proposed site development. <br />2.1 Site Location <br />The proposed Sediment Pond "B" site is located adjacent to the <br />Old State Highway 135 near the existing Bowie Number 2 Mine site <br />entrance about nine (9) miles east of Paonia, Colorado. A project <br />vicinity map is presented on Figure 1. <br />2 <br />• <br />lambert anD ~,sgaeiates <br />CONSULTING GEOTECN NICAI ENGINEERS ANO <br />M ATE RIA~~TESTINO <br />
