The purpose of our site visit was to observe the installation of the septic system. Thev installed the system in overall compliance with the septic system design, Drawing No. 99103 SD.DV G, dated May 27, 1999. The system was installed as shown on the above -named drawing. They installed I000-gallon., a precast, conomte tank for the pump. The delivery pipe from the purnp tank was 4-inch diameter pvc. It was connected -to the east end of the-2-inch center mmii'old. The laterals were capped at the ends. The mound dimensions were as shown en the design. drawing. Inspection ports were installed at both ends of the gravel bed. In addition they constructed an interceptor drain on the west side of the mound perimeter. The interceptor drain was 4 feet deep and rant parallel with the mound system. The purpose of'the perimeter drain is to intercept drainage runoff from the uphill side and divert it beyond the limits of the systelxi. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

This study was made in conjunction with a similar study conducted on the adjoining Travis Creek Subdivision No. 2. Geologic studies of these properties began on October 20, 1993, and auger drilling commenced on October 22, 1993. Both were completed on November 10, 1993. Location and Area The Palmer-Jouflas properties consist of approximately 90 acres of grass, sagebrush, shrub and timber lands located at the eastern edge of the Wolcott Springs development on Bellyache Ridge, just south of Wolcott, in Eagle County, Colorado. As seen in Figure 1, the Palmer portion covers all of the SW1/4 SE1/4 Sec. 26, T.4 S., R.83 W.; and the adjoining Jouflas land comprises all of the NW1/4 NE1/4 Sec. 35, T.4 S, R.83 W., 6TH P.M. Because the eastern portion of the properties is too steep for development, only the western portion, referred to here as the "Parcel", is discussed in this report. Topography The Parcel lies relatively high on the flank of Bellyache Ridge. Its surface rather_ accurately reflects the moderately dip of the underlying resistant Dakota Sandstone bedrock. Slopes are quite uniform, ranging from 1040 to 1280 feet per mile (19 to 22%). Elevations on the Parcel range from a low of 8,020 feet at the northern edge to a high of.8,560 feet on the small park at the southern extremity. There are no pronounced drainageways on the Parcel, an indication that runoff is not concentrated until it is much farther down slope. However, Bear Gulch flows eastward across the south end. Previous Work Portions of the Wolcott Springs area were mapped as a large landslide area by C..S. Robinson and Assoc. (1975) and Ogden Tweto (1979). In addition, there have been a series of studies made of all or portions of the Wolcott springs area. These include a geotechnical site evaluation of the Jouflas Ranch by Robert M. Thompson, Inc. in 1975; a.geology and engineering study of the ranch by Lincoln DeVore in 1978, two reports on septic system design for the Travis creek - 1 - Subdivision No. 1 in 1992, and at least four reports on soils, foundation designs, geologic reconnaissance and landslide stability on selected properties, all by Chen Northern Inc., in 1992. Most recently (1993) the writers, Young and Cohan, completed a geologic hazards study of the Travis Creek Subdivision No. 2, the.property bordering the Parcel on the west. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The major purpose of this study was to determine the presence or absence of any geologic hazards or other potential problems on the property that could preclude its development as a residential area. Problems to be addressed were problems of area -wide instability such as rockfalls, landslides, slope failure and accelerated creep, as well as local or construction induced instability. also to be studied were leach field soil requirements. Not only were these problems to be identified; but, where possible, mitigations were to be suggested. Because of stringent building code requirements by Eagle County and the concern with the spread of developments into unstable terrain by the Colorado Geological Survey, it was understood that there was to be close cooperation and communication between the investigators and these two government entities. SCOPE OF WORK Survey of Geology During the study, all of the project area was fully examined on foot to locate all outcrops and note any other features that might have an adverse effect on the development of the property for single family dwellings. All exposed units are shown on the accompanying map (Plate 2). Not shown are minor outcrops created by road cuts. Drilling and Testing Subsurface evaluation consisted of drilling 21 holes at 11 sites. Six of the holes were drilled for soil percolation tests. Drilling was performed with a Simco Model 2800 HST truck mounted rotary drill employing 3 1/4" I.D. hollow stem augers. Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed conforming to procedures specified by ASTM Designation D-1586, employing a 1 3/8" I.D. split tube sampler. In addition, relatively undisturbed samples were obtained using a 2 1/2" x 2" California spoon sampler. All test borings were advanced until practical auger refusal. 2 - Hole depths ranged from 1.5 feet to 10.5 feet. No free water' ` was encountered -in -any of the borings: The location of the test borings are shown on Plate 1 and Figure 5; bore hole logs are contained in Appendix A. When auger refusal was experienced at shallow depths, the holes were offset to verify if refusal might have been caused by bedrock instead of a random block of sandstone float. Separate samples of the various soil types were collected from auger cuttings and a representative suite was submitted for laboratory testing. The testing program consisted of the following: Dry sieve analysis; 3" x #4, ASTM D-422 Wet sieve analysis; #4 x #200, ASTM D-422 Hydrometer size analysis; -#200, ASTM D-422 Atterberg limits, ASTM D-4318 Swell / consolidation at 3 load increments, ASTM D-2435 Moisture content A suite of 28 specimens of Dakota sandstone was collected from outcropsLin the northwest of the Parcel. Unconfined compressive strengths were determined, employing a Soil Test Model RM 730 point load strength apparatus in conformance to International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) recommended procedures. Percolation tests were conducted at two sites where exploratory borings ind dated that sufficient soil thickness for Leach fields -would be present A standard,. three hole,, test was conducted at a potential leach field site approximately -`ra( Meet` sout"li of`°- the Jouf as planned home site. Separate holes, 36" deep, were drilled, offset a suf"ficient distance to`preclude'`'communscat ion with the nearby test boring. Percolation test 'hole diameters were 7 to 7 1/2 inches. RESULTS OF STUDY Geology General Stratigraphy: The stratigraphy of this general area is relatively straight forward, as shown by the stratigraphic chart (Fig. 2). As can be seen in this illustration, some of the units are quite thin and.cannot be readily mapped in steep terrain. For this reason, the Curtis Formation was not mapped on Figure 1. Basement rocks are igneous, meta -sedimentary and meta -igneous crystalline rocks of unknown thickness. Overlying them are quartzites, sandstones, dolomites, limestones, shale and - 3 - saline deposits of Paleozoic (Cambrian, Ordovician, Devonian, Mississippian, Pennsylvanian and Permian) age. Paleozoic sediments in this area are approximately 12,000 feet thick.. Above them are some 14,000 feet of Mesozoic (Triassic; Jurassic and Cretaceous) age. Thin,. unconsolidated Cenozoic deposits of colluvium, alluvium and glacial origin mantle eroded outcrops of older rocks. Mesozoic Rocks: Of interest to us here are the Jurassic, Cretaceous and - unconsolidated sediments. The lowermost Jurassic unit is the eolian Navajo sandstone, that, together with the overlying wind -deposited Entrada Sandstone, forms a prominent 100 foot high cliff on the steep slopes east of the property. Above the Entrada are about 100 feet of yellow gray to pale green glauconitic sandstone and some oolitic limestone of the Curtis Formation that was formed in a shallow marine environment. Overlying the Curtis is the Morrison Formation of dinosaur fame. It consists of about 500 feet of interbedded lenticular sandstone, variegated and bentonitic mudstone, and some thin limestone, all of f.loodplain origin. Resting unconformably on the Morrison is the oldest Cretaceous unit, the Dakota sandstone. It consists of about 165 feet of floodplain, coastal plain and shoreline deposits that are primarily massive sandstone, except for a few thin black shale partings near the -top. This is the bedrock which underlies all of the subdivision and is exposed in a few places on the property. In most places much of this sandstone has been converted to a hard orthoquartzite by secondary quartz overgrowths. Resting on the Dakota is the Cretaceous Mancos Shale. It consists of about 5,000 feet of dark gray to black shale and some thin -bedded limestone, all of marine origin. It can be subdivided in to four units that are, from the base upward, the Mowry Shale, Benton Shale, Niobara Formation and Pierre Shale. All have been eroded from the area of the property, as have the 5,300 feet of the overlying Mesaverde Group. Together, the Mancos and Mesaverde form the bulk of the mountains immediately to the north of Wolcott. Cenozoic Deposits -Soils: The only unconsolidated materials mapped in this area by Robinson are of Quaternary age. They are soils, designated as colluvium (Qc), formed in place by weathering of underlying Dakota and other materials. It also contains much wind - transported silt, and ranges in thickness up to eight feet. In all but two small areas of the Parcel, Dakota bedrock is' concealed beneath uneven cover of substratum and an overlying blanket of topsoil (surface, subsurface and subsoil.), all referred to here as soil. In drill holes and at the outcrop, soils were found to range from less than an inch to more than 126 inches in thickness. The substratum ranges up ° to 8 feet thick on most of the Parcel, but in the flat area at the southwestern edge, it appears to be even thicker. The soils are discussed from both their pedological and engineering aspects. Refer to Figure No. 3 for the relationship between soil in the pedological and engineering senses. Pedological Aspect: The 1992 Soil Conservation Service report and Map No. 12 show four soil complexes to be present on the Parcel (Plate 3). The northern part of the Parcel is covered by their Map Unit 22 (Curecanti-Fughes complex 12 to 15 percent slope). This is an area of brush and grasses that is about 55% Curecanti very stony loam, 30% Fughes stony loam and 15% others. The Curecanti soil is deep and well drained, and formed in colluvium and alluvium derived predominantly from sandstone. About 20% of the surface'is covered with stones 15% is covered with cobbles, and 25% is covered with gravel.

The subsoil, to a.depth of 60 inches or more, is cobbly clay. Engineering Aspect: The substratum consists primarily of sandy.silt and silty gravels of low to medium plasticity, overlain by a thin layer of dark organic silty topsoil and underlain by dense quartzitic sandstone of the Cretaceous Dakota Formation. The gravels consist of angular fragments of weathered sandstone. The sandstone fragments can be blocks as large as several feet in diameter and 6 or more inches thick. Encountering such blocks almost always resulted in no further advance of the augers (refusal). Previous studies indicated the substratum to contain clays of medium to high plasticity. However, our laboratory testing, specifically -200 mesh gradation by hydrometer analysis and determination of the Atterberg limits, indicates that the substratum units to contain non -plastic sandy silts and silty clays having low to medium plasticity. The typical subsurface profile consists of the following (in descending sequence): 1. Organic silt, low plasticity, moist, black to dark brown, 0.5 to 2.5 feet thick. (OL) (Topsoil) 2. Inorganic sandy silt, low plasticity, moist, light brown, minor quantities of weathered angular sandstone fragments as large as 3/4", 0 to 3.0 feet thick. (ML) 3. Silty gravels, low to medium plasticity, moist, light brown, moderate quantities of light brown weathered angular sandstone fragments as large as 1 1/211, 0 to 2.0 feet thick. (GM) 4. Inorganic clays and sandy clays of low to medium plasticity, red brown to dark brown. Moderately expansive. Minor to moderate quantities of angular fragments of light brown weathered sandstone, moist, 0 to-8.6 feet thick. (CL) 5. Inorganic sandy silt and rock flour of low plasticity, light brown, small quantities of angular fragments of weathered sandstone, 0 to more than 6.4 feet thick. (ML) 6. Weathered sandstone rubble, blocks of light brown sandstone as large as several feet in a matrix of non -plastic silty sands. Practical auger refusal. 7. Dakota sandstone bed rock.

As such, the rock would be considered "strong" (grade R4) in the ISRM Rock Strength Classification System. The presence of weathered joint surfaces reduced the specimen strengths 1,000 psi or less. However, the overall strength of a rock mass is function of the joint spacing and joint surface characteristics ("weakest link" phenomena). Two prominent joint sets were observed and spacings ranged from 6 to over 36 inches. Therefore, the Dakota Sandstone is considered to be a competent foundation, except where it might contain three or more systems of closely spaced joints. Such a condition was not found where the Dakota was observed in outcrop. If such a condition were identified at a proposed building site, the competency of the rock mass should be evaluated by employing accepted procedures for the evaluation of the strength of jointed rock masses.

The substratum ranges from 0 to 8 feet in thickness, rests on bedrock throughout most of the property, and is mantled everywhere by a few inches to a few feet of topsoil. On the relatively flat area at the extreme south end of'the Parcel, where soils cover truncated Dakota and Morrison sediments, thicknesses of both topsoil and substratum seem to be relatively uniform. But on the north -sloping surface of Bellyache Ridge, where soils lie on the Dakota dip slope, the variation is pronounced and is expressed as a series of lobate wave -like features, extending for hundreds of feet, essentially parallel to the topographic contours (Plate 1). These wave -like soil -features continue westward for thousands of feet across the adjacent Travis Creek properties. The thickest deposits of these waves are at the fronts of the larger lobes, where they cause the slope to increase from an average of 11- (20%) to as much as 20- (36%). On the back side of some waves, slopes flatten to as low as 5- (9%). These wave -like features were interpreted as expressions of accelerated - 9 - creep by previous workers, but we have another explanation. The materials comprising the substratum of the wave -like features appear to consist of a mix of glacial till and glacial outwash, with some alluvial, lacustrine, gravity and eolian deposits. These wave -like features are present over much of the upper slopes of Bellyache Ridge, being most prominent in the Bellyache Ridge Subdivision, at the top and becoming almost indiscernible just north of the north margin of the Parcel. Where a road has been cut through one of these lobes, it commonly exposes a mass of debris, ranging in size from clay or silt to boulders three feet or more in diameter. The Big Picture: Surficial materials on the north flank of Bellyache Ridge are actually a classic example of an ancient Pleistocene solifluction complex, somewhat subdued by a mantle of soil, and a living cover of vegetation that varies in composition with increasing elevation, a reflection of present-day plant life zones..Similar solifluction materials are found in polar latitudes and in glacial border areas where water from melting ice is prevented from downward percolation by the presence of frozen ground at shallow depths. Here the water oozes to the surface and -acts like rainwash by carrying finer soil particles downslope by this major translocation process (vonEngeln, 1942). In the periglacial environment at the margins of ice caps or ice sheets, repeated freezing and thawing of surficial materials produces what is called "patterned, ground", a variety of soil configurations that are indicative of the nature of the surface on which they form and the materials of they are composed (Thornbury., 1954). The most simple form is the "soil polygon", a large mudcrack-shaped, multi -sided structure up to 30 feet in diameter, separated from -adjacent polygons by small bounding ridges and open fractures and composed of fine materials. It forms on relatively flat surfaces, as does the "stone polygon" or "stone net", a similar form found where surficial materials are mostly stones. Here, frost wedging causes the stones to work outward from the interior to the margins of the polygon, where they form raised stone borders. Where moderate slopes are present, some downslope.movement occurs to produce "stone garlands". On still steeper slopes, the nets become more distorted to form "stone stripes" or "soil stripes", long ridges of soil and rock subparallel to the surface contours, like those on the Parcel and the the adjoinig Travis Creek property. Thus, the series of stone -soil - 10 - stripes mapped here do not represent successive waves of solifluction materials moving downslope, but rather a series of soil stripes working slowly downslope, simultaneously, about 12,500 years ago. Since that time there has been no movement, but a soil has formed on it. Geologic Hazards: Previous workers in this region have mapped several types of geologic and topographic features indicative of mass -wasting processes, those weathering and debris movement phenomena that have modified the landscape since the last great climatic event, Pleistocene glaciation 12,500 years ago. Specifically, they have mapped such features as debris slides, slope failure complexes, talus and accelerated creep. However, the geologic hazards map of Robinson (1975) shows the Parcel to be an area of stable colluvium and bedrock on moderate.to gentle slopes. There is no evidence for debris slides on the property; however, nearby solifluction features noted by earlier workers have caused concern about development in this area. The most prominent of these are the large-scale combined debris slides, mudflows, debris flows, and landslides constituting the "Big Slide" approximately one thousand feet lower and a -good mile to the north and northwest of the Parcel. A second area of slope failure has been noted at the north end of section 26, about 1/4 mile north of the Parcel. There was a small Dakota rockf all here several years ago, after it was undercut by Interstate 70 highway construction. Also, a tiny slump, perhaps 20 feet wide, has occurred in the Benton Shale in a cut on the Bellyache Ridge Road, just south of its intersection with Interstate 70. The solifluction debris comprising the oldest, and topographically lowest, portions of the Big Slide appears to have been derived from Benton Shale in the cirque -like bowl in sections 19, 20 and 29; whereas the younger, upper portions seem to have come from pre - Dakota sediments in a shallow basin above and south of the Dakota outcrop in sections 28, 29 and 33. From there, this later debris moved.northward through a stream gap in the Dakota ridge and thence down the dip slope over the older "slides" toward the Eagle River. Similar debris -probably flowed northeast from the crest of Bellyache Ridge and down Bear Gulch to the Eagle River. A Search for Hazards on the Property: The stability of the materials constituting the soils on the property can be observed in many places along - 11 Bellyache Ridge Road, the main access to the Bellyache .Subdivision. After leaving U.S. I-70 near Wolcott, this road climbs up the north flank of the Ridge for about 4 miles before reaching the summit. In the first 2 miles, it cuts through several thick lobes of solifluction material before crossing the broad, undulating surface of the youngest of these formerly fluid or semifluid masses of solifluction debris that moved northward downslope from nearer the top of the Ridge (8,000 to 9,200 feet) to form the large solifluction complex or Big Slide discussed above. For 2 miles above the Big Slide, the road continues up the flank and crosses at least 10 lobes (soil stripes) of Qc. This road was constructed.some 18 or more years ago, yet in none of the cuts is there any evidence of recent slope failure. Previous workers also reported the presence of pistol butting in tree.in this area, a feature that indicates downslope movement of surficial materials that causes trees, particularly saplings, to.first bend downslope and then turn upward to again grow vertically. Such obvious bending is generally due to accelerated creep of soils on steep slopes, but may also reflect downslope movement of unstable substratum materials. A concerned effort was made to locate any such pistol -butted trees. A few Douglas firs were found to exhibit such a profile, but within a few feet were an equal number of firs inclined up slope -and in various other directions, suggesting distortion by root jacking or by heavy snow while the trees were very young. Along the surfaces of many steep road cuts, aspen saplings may show pistol butting, as a consequence oh heavy snow adhering to and sliding down the face of the cut. Additional evidence of stability can be found in tree rings. The stumps of fir trees on adjacent lands, some logged about 1975, show a series.of growth rings indicating that many of them were standing there at least 114 years ago. Neither the stumps, nor monarchs still standing nearby, show any pattern of pistol butting. Ground Water Regime: The absence of .any signs of any soil instability on the Parcel suggests that the 20 or so inches of annual precipitation that falls on this mountainside runs off as surface drainage or sinks into the porous soil and percolates rapidly downslope without any significant penetration or mobilization of the soil. Evidence for such downslope movement of water was seen in several boreholes where some dampness was encountered at the contact between the soil and the underlying hard silt and other materials of the substratum. Soil moisture - 12 - contents ranged from less than l% to 12%, with the median value being 8%. As a further evidence of the lack of penetration of the substratum by ground water, stands of aspen trees on other thicker lobes of Qc are commonly stunted, gnarled, and have dead limbs, an indication of their inability to obtain sufficient water or send their roots into the more -compacted substratum. Indeed, the latter is generally dry and contains very few roots or rootlets. Apparently, this dense substratum has resulted in shallow rooting in some aspen stands, and may account for the large number of trees felled by the wind. It is also probable that some of the moisture falling on the surface percolates downward to the Dakota, where it enters that aquifer through the fractures described below. Structure: From the geologic map (Figure 1), it can be seen that the Parcel lies on the east side north -plunging Burns syncline which, because of'the relatively thin mantle of Qc, is closely mimicked by topography. Dips across that part of the Parcel vary from 15 to-,20 degrees, and the direction of dip is generally N.5-W., except where it is disrupted by a small anticlinal wrinkle plunging toward the northeast. Just north of the flat area at the south end of the Parcel, the dip steepens on an apparent monocline, or possibly the north limb of another small anticlinal feature that has been mostly removed by erosion and concealed beneath a blanket of glacial and solifluction debris. There is no evidence of.faulting on the property, but where the Dakota is exposed, two strong high -angle joint sets were observed in the uppermost sandstone bed. The dominant set strikes N.70-E. and shows a 3 to 36 inch spacing pattern. The subordinate set strikes N.35�W. and has a spacing of about 96 inches. Some of the joints have been filled with calcite or secondary silica. 'sdwage -Sy stems .; Percolation test results. ranged from 25`to 48 minutest. per inch (MPI)i�..

The possibility the saturation of subsoil from the extensive use of soil absorption systems might mobilize unstable soils has long been a matter of concern.'Chen- Northern, 1992, briefly evaluated the potential impact of 120 - 140 residences on the north slope of Bellyache Ridge using individual systems. They concluded that development of this.magnitude could result in potential mobilization of soils within the "landslide" area. However, their study assumed 20 - 80% infiltration of precipitation and that effluent discharge into the subsoil could reach 80 to 95 acre-feet per year, equivalent to 2 to 8% of their estimated annual infiltration of precipitation. Two principal assumptions contained in the Chen -Northern study are controversial: the designation of "landslide" areas and the rate of infiltration. Our work refutes the existence of major landslides areas. The infiltration rate was assumed to be as high as 80%. As infiltration rates will vary locally due to slope, vegetation cover and soil permeability, rational estimates of the volume of infiltration can only be based upon field measurements. Procedures for such measurements are described in ASTM and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation publications. Infiltration measurements should be incorporated in the permitting and design process for soil absorption systems on Bellyache Ridge. We believe - 14 - N.

As the property is located on the north slope of Bellyache.Ridge, evapotranspiration systems may not function effectively during the winter months. In addition, existing well permits require that 90% of the ground water withdrawn must be returned to the aquifer, Inter-Moutain Engineering, 1992. This stipulation effectively precludes the use of evapotranspiration systems. The Inter -Mountain study also evaluated techniques to reduce residential water consumption. The; study, concluded that a 20% reduction in average daily flows could.be achieved with the i-nstallation of water -saving devices, such as .reduced flow shower heads and fronts loading automatic washers, However, over the long term, such a program would be difficult to effectively enforce. Some of the joints in the Dakota Sandstone are filled. with calcite and silica,, and appear to be impermeable. The quartzitic nature of the rock mass itself suggests that the hydraulic conductivity is principally a function of the intensity -of jointing and the condition of the joints (open or healed). Thus, in areas where the Dakota is massive, with little jointing, downward . percolating meteoric water and absorption field effluent may tend to concentrate at the soil -bedrock interface or,. where present, -at the top of the basal clay unit. The concentration of excess quantities of fluids could accelerate soil creep in areas of steeply dipping bedrock. In such areas, soil absorption systems should be designed to minimize the concentration of effluent on bedrock. Consideration should be given to increasing the required absorption area and lengths of absorption trenches for a given effluent volume.This would distribute the effluent over a larger volume of -soil, thereby reducing the rate of soil saturation. The possibility of requiring excess capacity to enable portions to remain idle ("rest") in rotation has merit but would be difficult to monitor and enforce. Serial distribution systems will be required where..=.> slopes are too_steep-for..continuous absorption trenches. "'Such systems.must be designed to.,ensure uniform distribution. of ef-fluent to each ce1n-l. Standpipe piezometers should be installed at each cell to verify that effluent is being uniformly distributed. . - 15 - Leach Field at site of New Home: After several attempts to find an area of adequate soil depth, a candidate leach field was identified approximately 1'00 feet x�south. of `the Jouflas' ` planned new home located east of .#- s;ma11 park nea`z the 'southwest w corner -""of``the Parcel. The leach field site is identified on Figure 5, being bounded by percolation test holes PTJP-3B, PTJP-5A and PTJP-5B. Test boring JP-5'ways= dr:.-illed to a depth of 9.67 feet rand 'terminated in w i;norganic..:sandy silt and rock flour with no evidence of a shallow ,water table. Thus, at least 91 feet of suitable soil is present, satisfying Eagle County requirements for minimum soil thickness. The log of this test boring is contained in Appendix A. Earlier attempts to locate suitable sites to the east and at somewhat lower elevations resulted in the failure to. identify sufficient soil depths, except in the case of JP-4. However, some of the percolation test holes drilled about this latter hole encountered shallow bed rock. The drilling determined that soil thicknesses diminish somewhat rapidly to the east as one approaches the crest of Bellyache Ridge. Locating a leach field too close to this point encourages the risk of effluent seeping to the surface, a very -undesirable situation. o' T averagie percolation rate for the leach field site is s `G _36 MPI and the range is 25.4 to. 48. 3 MPI ( Table 4 ) . All these values lie within range of acceptable values, ` according to current County standards. A rough profile level circuit, using a hand level and Jacob staff, indicates that the surface elevations of the leach field site and new home site are essentially the same. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Because of the lack of any evidence for mass movement of.any of the soil features in historic time and the nature of the dense substratum (the mix of clay, rock flour, sand ,silt and rock fragments in the old solifluction material), we conclude that the surficial materials (both soil and substratum) on the Jouflas-Palmer property must be considered stable under present climatic conditions. We also recognize that, under conditions -of greatly increased saturation, some of the material could possibly become mobile. In order to preclude any possibility of remobilizing the solifluction debris on the steeper slopes, limits should placed on the use of water for lawns, flower gardens and shrubs. perhaps on the order of twice the annual -16- precipitation of 20 inches of moisture. owners should -be encouraged to utilize native vegetation, where possible, to -minimize the problem of over watering. The apparent low yield of the water wells completed in the Dakota Sandstone should likewise discourage the development of extensive irrigated landscapes. However, as is frequently the case with low -yield aquifers, the potential for well overdraft exists and some form of local production control or regulation will probably be required. i A competent soils engineer -must be consulted for. - recommendations for foundation design and for leach:- field designandsiting:'. The following points are salient to the issues of.foundation and leach field design: (1) Soil strengths appear to be adequate to support foundation loads of multistory residential buildings; however, site and design -specific �f the ,ot ..w iVcua.�, i investigations, with additional soils testing will be required. (2) Where measured, soil percolation rates meet Eagle County standards for individual sewage effluent soil absorption systems. However, in some instances, absorption f1elds,;ma-ym:have to larger than normal, and may be located upslope from the dwelling in order to be sited in soils of adequate depth. (3) Where possible, absorption fields should be located within the boundaries of "soil stripes" to provide adequate soil depths and absorption volumes. (4) Evapotranspiration systems are not recommended, due to winter freeze up and possible violation of well permit stipulations requiring recharge of ground water supplies. (5) Shallow ground water tables were not found in the area of study aand should not present a�problem with respect to foundation stability or soil absorption systems. (6) Serial distribution systems will be required :for soil absorption systems°on -the steeper slopes. (7) Soil absorption systems sited on steeper slope>s, should contain 30 'to 501 greater than design - capacity and provide for rotation to prevent excessive saturation at the bedrock`-s,ubstratu,m interface. -17- (8) Standpipe pie zometers should be required in each cell of a serial distribution soil absorption system. (9) Field infiltration tests should be incorporated in the design requirements for soil absorption systems at sites where slopes are steep or the potential for mobilization of the substratum exists.
