Box 1019 <br />Montrose, Colorado 81402 <br />Attention: Mr. Mark Haldorson <br />PN: M04030GE <br />Subject: Geotechnical Engineering Field and Laboratory Study <br />George Property on <br />Spring Creek Mesa West. of <br />Montrose, Colorado <br />Mr. Haldorson: <br />This letter presents the results of our February 2 through <br />February 6, 2004 geotechnical engineering field and laboratory <br />study for your proposed project. The field study consisted of <br />observing, describing and sampling the soil materials encountered <br />in two (2} backhoe excavated test holes at the site. The <br />approximate locations of the test holes are shown on Figure 1. <br />The logs describing the soil materials encountered in the test <br />holes are presented on Figures 2 through 4. <br />At the time of our field study the site was vacant. The <br />proposed site is currently used for irrigated agricultural <br />purposes. The site slopes down to the north at an inclination <br />ranging from about twenty (20) to one (1) (horizontal to <br />vertical) and flatter. The slopes at the east edge of the <br />proposed site become steeper and form the crest of Spring Creek <br />Mesa. <br />The shallow soil materials encountered in the test borings <br />consisted generally of clay material with varying amounts of sand <br />and gravel from the surface to a depth of about two and one-half <br />(2;~) to three and one-half (3~) feet. Sand and gravel material <br />with cobbles and boulders was encountered in the test holes at a <br />depth two and one-half (2~) to three and one-half (334) feet. <br />Formational material was not encountered in the test holes to a <br />depth of about eight (8) feet, the maximum depth explored. <br />Free subsurface water was not encountered in the test holes at <br />the time of our field study. <br />The field study included performing percolation tests in the <br />bottom of the test holes to help identify the water flow <br />P.O.
