<br />' GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT <br />PROPOSED GRAVEL MINE <br />WELD COUNTY ROADS 64 8 29 <br />TERRACON PROJECT NO. 21995030 <br />APRIL 9, 1999 <br />'INTriODUCTION <br />Terracon <br />This report contains the results of our geotechnicai engineering exploration for the proposed gravel <br />'mine to be located near the intersection of Weld County Roads 64 and 29. The site is located in the <br />east half of Section 32 and the west half of Sec:ion 33, Township 6 North, Range 66 West of the 6th <br />,Principal Meridian. <br />The purpose of these services is to provide information and geotechnical engineering <br />'recommendations relative to: <br />• subsurface sail and bedrock conditions <br />' groundwater conditions <br />The recommendations contained in this report are based upon the results of field and laboratory <br />~esting, experience with similar soil conditions and our understanding of the proposed project. <br />~ROPOSED CONSTRUCTION <br />he site is being proposed as a graveft mine. It is our understanding thai mining can not take place <br />vithin 25 feet cf proparty boundaries or 100 feet cf the Cache La f'oudre River. <br />~ITE EXPLORATION <br />The scope of the services performed for this project included a site reconnaissance by an engineering <br />geologist, a subsurface exploration program and laboratory testing. <br />~ield Exploration <br />total of 13 test borings were drilled on March 9, 1999. The borings were drilled to approximate <br />~epths of 14 to 19'/~ feet at the locations shown on the Site Plan, Figure 1. All borings were advanced <br />with struck-mounted drilling rig, utilizing 4-inch diameter solid stem augers. <br />~he borings were located in the field by pacing from property lines and/or existing site features. The <br />accuracy of boring locations should only be assumed to the level implied by the methods used to <br />~etermine each. <br /> <br />,, <br /> <br />
