[No. <br />3.135 hive Rivers Cattle Feeding, LLC <br />clo Enviro Ag Engineering <br />3404 Airway Boulevard <br />Amarillo, Texas 7911- <br />Attn: Mr. Shane Self <br />Re: Preliminary 4eoteehniaal Evaluation <br />Colorado Beef Fresh water Reservoir <br />Provers County, Colorado <br />EEC Project No. 10920 <br />Mr. Self: <br />Earth Engineering Consultants, Inc. (EEC) personnel have completed the preliminary <br />evaluation you requested for tl11e proposed Colorado Beef Fresh Water Reservoir to be <br />constructed northwest of Lamar in Prowers County, Colorado. The reservoir is being <br />constnxted. in are area of prior aggregate mining activities near the center of Section 19, <br />Township 22 South, mange 47 west of the 6 PM in Prowers County. The reservoir is <br />anticipated to be on the order of 28 feet deep with capacity of either 350 or 500 acre feet. <br />Much of the reservoir volume will be excavated below pruning site grades although <br />embankments will be required on the south and west sides with maximum embankment <br />heights on the order of 10 feet required near the southwest corner of the empondment. This <br />exploration was completed in general accordance with our Phase I services outlined in our <br />March 13, 2009 proposal for providing the geotechnical engineering services. <br />To develop information on existing subsurface conditions in the area of the proposed <br />reservoir, EEC personnel advanced borings at eight (8) premed boring locations in the <br />immediate area of the proposed reservoir. The approximate boring locations were marked in <br />the field prior to our exploration by Enviro -Ag Engineering personnel although the field <br />borings were completed at off-sets from the prematiced locations at the direction of Enviro- <br />Ag Engineering personnel. The borings extended to depths ranging from approximately 20 <br />feet near the base of the existing gravel mhi tg excavation to depths up to approximately 50 <br />feet at surmutiding boring locations. <br />4396 GREENFIEty DRIVE <br />WINDSOR.
