Geotechnical Engineering Report <br />Gravel Evaluation - Saddlehorn Ranch Site <br />NE of Highways 257 and 60 -Milliken, Colorado <br />Terracon Project No. 21015136 <br />Terracon <br />If the storage pond water level is to be lowered -below the natural groundwater elevation, a clay lined <br />storage pond may be breached due to unbalanced water pressures which would likely result. <br />Therefore, the use of a slurry wall may be necessary if the storage pond will be drained below the <br />natural groundwater level. Further, if it is desired to prevent storage water from cross-contaminating <br />the natural groundwater, a slurry wall may also be considered. <br />GENERAL COMMENTS <br />The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the data obtained from <br />the borings performed by Terracon at the indicated locations and from other information discussed in <br />this report. Terracon is not responsible for the accuracy of the data provided to us by others. Terracon <br />used the information provided by others at the request of our client. This report does not reflect <br />variations, which may occur between borings or across the site. The nature and extent of such <br />variations may not become evident until mining operations are performed. These variations may effect <br />the quantity and or the quality of the materials encountered. <br />The scope of services for this project does not include either specifically or by implication any <br />environmental assessment of the site or identification of contaminated or hazardous materials or <br />conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination, other studies should <br />be undertaken. <br />This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of our client for specific application to the project <br />discussed and has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering <br />practices. No warranties, either express or implied, are intended or made. In the event that changes <br />in the nature, design, or location of the project as outlined in this report, are planned, the conclusions <br />and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid unless Terracon reviews <br />the changes, and either verifies or modifies the conclusions of this report in writing. <br />5 <br />
