GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT
GRAVEL EVALUATION
SADDLEHORN RANCH SITE
MILLIKEN, COLORADO
TERRACON PROJECT NO. 21016136
JANUARY 14, 2002
INTRODUCTION
This report contains the results of our gravel evaluation for the proposed gravel pit to be located at the
Saddlehorn ranch site in Milliken, Colorado. The site is located in part of Section 2, Township 4 North,
Range 67 West of the 6th Principal Meridian.
The purpose of these services is to provide information and geotechnical engineering
recommendations relative to:
• Subsurface soil and bedrock conditions
• Groundwater conditions
• Approximate quantity of overburden
o Approximate quantity of sand and gravel
o Visual evaluation of quality of sand and gravel
The recommendations contained in this report are based upon the results of field and laboratory
testing, engineering analyses, and experience with similar soil conditions, and our understanding of the
proposed project.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
It is our understanding the site is to be mined for sand and gravel which is to be used as aggregate
for commercial use in construction materials such as structural fill, base course, concrete and
asphalt.
SITE EXPLORATION
The scope of the services performed for this project included a site reconnaissance by a field
engineer, a subsurface exploration program, laboratory testing and engineering analyses.
Field Exploration
Ten test borings were drilled at the site on November 13, 2001. The borings were drilled to
approximate depths of 20 to 40 feet at the locations shown on the Site Plan, Appendix A. The borings
