l viable foundation types for the conditions encountered,
. allowable bearing pressures for the foundation types,
. lateral earth pressure recommendations for design of
1 laterally loaded walls,
. geotechnical engineering considerations and recommendations
for concrete slab-on-grade floors, and
. excavation cut and constructed fill slope suggestions and
recommendations.
Our comments, suggestions and recommendations are based on the
subsurface soil and ground water conditions encountered during
our site and laboratory studies.
Our study did not include any environmental or geologic hazard
issues.
- The overall slope stability and site geology have been ad-
dressed in a report by Maxim Technologies, Inc., dated July 10,
1996 and is therefore that material was not part of the scope
of this study and not included in this report. Consider-
1 ations and recommendations provided by Maxim Technologies,
Inc., regarding the site geology and overall slope stability of
the proposed conveyor alignment should be considered in the
conveyor design.
2.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS
Site characteristics include observed existing and pre-existing
site conditions that may influence the geotechnical engineering
aspects of the proposed site development.
2.1 Site Location
The proposed Conveyor System is located at the existing Bowie
Number 2 Mine. The Bowie Number 2 Mine is located about four (4)
miles east of Paonia, Colorado. A project vicinity map is present-
ed on Figure ]:.
2.2 Site Conditions
At the time of our field study the proposed conveyor alignment
was adjacent to an existing access and haul road for the mine.
Much of the proposed conveyor alignment was in an existing utility
corridor with overhead and buried utilities.
