• • C. <br /> <br />The Cache la Poudre River travels southward through the western <br />portion of the site and the Greeley No. 2 Canal is located adjacent to <br />the north edge of the property. The area consists of irrigated farm and <br />pasture land. The property is relatively flat and, in general, has <br />minor drainage to tkg southeast. A small abandoned gravel pit is <br />located in the nortlid'~ Darner of the property. <br />SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS <br />The soil profile at the site consists of strata of materials arranged <br />in different combinations. [n order of increasing depths, they are as <br />follows: <br />(1) Silty Topsoil: The majority of tfre site is overlain by a one <br />(1) foot layer of silty topsoil. The topsoil has been penetrated <br />by plant roots and organic matter. <br />• <br />(2) Sandy Silty C1a,Y: The clay stratum underlies the topsoil and <br />extends to the gravel layer below. The silty clay is plastic <br />and contains varying amounts of sand in its damp to moist, <br />natural state. <br />(3) Sand, Gravel and Cobbles: The gravel stratum was encountered <br />at depths of two and one-half (2';) to eleven (11) feet below <br />tire surface and extends to the bedrock below. 7tre sand and <br />gravel is clean, poorly graded, and contains lenses of sand. <br />It is estimated that the cobbles within the gravel stratum <br />range in size up to sixteen (16) inches in diameter, <br />(4) Claystone (bedrock): The bedrock was encountered below the <br />gravel stratum at depths of ten and one-half (10'z) to nineteen <br />and one-half (19';) feet below the surface and extends to <br />greater depths. The upper one (1) foot of the bedrock is <br />highly weathered; however, the underlying Claystone is firm to <br />dense. <br /> <br />0 <br />
