M98168GE • • <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 swell and expansion potential of the samples tested, <br />the settlement/consolidation potential of the samples <br />tested, <br />the moisture content and density of samples tested, <br />the moisture content-dry density relationship (Proctor) test <br />of the subgrade support soil sample tested, <br />the sail support characteristics of pavement subgrade material <br />samples, and <br />the soil sulfate concentration of soil samples tested. <br />- This report presents our geotechnical engineering comments, <br />suggestions and recommendations for planning and design of site <br />development including: <br />viable foundation types for the conditions encountered, <br />allowable bearing pressure: for the foundation types, <br />lateral earth pressure recommendations for design of <br />laterally loaded walla, <br />geotechnical engineering considerations and recommendations <br />for concrete slab-on-grade floors, and <br />compacted structural fill considerations and recommendations. <br />- Our comment, suggestions and recommendations are based on the <br />subsurface soil and ground water conditions encountered during <br />our site and laboratory studies. <br />- Our study did not include any environmental or geologic hazard <br />issues. <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 plant site is located about twenty-two (22) miles <br />west of Meeker, Colorado in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 19, <br />Township 1 South, Range 97 West. A project vicinity map is <br />presented on Figure 1. <br />2 <br />~tambert ana ~~~ociateo <br />COMMIlT~MO O[OTlCMMIUL lNOMlllq HMO <br />~~TI~O~I lElillq <br />
