Re: Surficial Geology Investigation
High Desert AFT Subdivision
D & 35 Roads, East Orchard Mesa, Palisade, CO
Dear Mr. Rinderle;
At your request, personnel from this office have completed a ground reconnaissance of the above referenced site in order
to determine the general geologic conditions and constraints relating to construction on the site. This study was performed
in a manner so as to be in general compliance with the requirements of C.R.S. 30-28- I OI (Senate Bill 35). Tltis study
was originally performed to assist •he client in preparing the preliminary site plan, which has been updated in a manner
to reflect the geologic and geotechnical restraints of the site. This report reflects the recent planning efforts for this tract.
Grand Junction Lincoln DeVore was also requested to perform a limited Subsurface Soils Exploration on this site, to
determine the Geotechnical Characteristics of the near surface soils, as they are related to the construction of a small
residential subdivision. Following are our findings.
TRACT LOCATION & DESCRlYT10N
The tract lies in the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 17, Township I S, Range 2E and a portion
ofthe Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 18, "township I S, Range 2E of the Ute Principal Meridian.
Mesa County, Colorado. The tract is partially divided by 35 Road and is bounded on the North by D-I/4 Road, is
bounded on the South and East by a tributary of Sink Creek. The D Road extension is slightly south of the trace
boundary. The downtown business district of unincorporated Clifton is approximately 2-1/2 miles Northwest of [Iris
tract. The tract contains approximately 50.5 acres.
The tract has been used for limited livestock grazing and some gullies adjacent to historical roads have been used for
uncontrolled trash dumping activities. Si[e drainage is qui[e variable, as S ink Creek and tributary gullies are immediately
south of the pact, flowing from the southeast, to the northwest. The entire tract is drained toward the Northwest, being
entirely within the lower Sink Creek basin. The flow from this tract and surrounding tracts eventually flow to rite
Colorado River (approximately 1 mile Northwest) via Road drainages and Sink Creek, with the associated small
tributaries and gullies. Surface drainage is fair to good and the subsurface drainage is good to very poor.
