The property is located within the City of Bozeman, Montana and was annexed and zoned REMU (131.889 acres) and B2-M (28.618 acres) in January of 2019. See the vicinity map in Appendix A for details. The following is the legal description for the property. Tract 5 of Certificate of Survey No. 2552, located in the NE1/4 of Section 4, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Principal Meridian, Gallatin County, Montana. Sewer collection for the project will consist of sewer mains located in the right-of-way or easements with individual services stubbed to the properties. This design report provides a basis of design for the sewer collection system for the Northwest Crossing Subdivision. The sewer collection will be designed and installed in accordance with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) Circular No. 2; Montana Public Works Standard Specifications (MPWSS); The City of Bozeman Modifications to MPWSS; City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy March of 2004, and all Addendum’s; and the City of Bozeman Wastewater Facility Plan. 1 PROBLEM DEFINED (DEQ 11.11) The purpose of this design report is to quantify the anticipated sewer flows from the Northwest Crossing Subdivision and provide preliminary sizing for the proposed sewer infrastructure. The flows from the Northwest Crossing Subdivision will discharge into the exiting 21” sewer main in the Cottonwood Road Right of way and the 27” sewer main in Baxter Lane. A portion of the Northwest Crossing Subdivision property will gravity sewer (proposed 15” sewer main) into the existing 21” sewer main in Cottonwood Road. Another portion of the property will need to drain to a private lift station. The private lift station will have a force main that transports the effluent to an existing manhole at the corner of Cottonwood Road and Baxter Lane. See Appendix C for a Sanitary Sewer Utility Plan (Sheet C 310) along with a preliminary plan and profile for the 15” gravity sewer main (Sheet C 311). The Sanitary Sewer Utility Plan shows the location of the proposed private lift station. Without a private lift station there are approximately 80+ acres of the property than cannot be developed (without excessive amounts of fill). The private lift station we be owned and maintained by the future Property Owners Association. ALTERNATIVE SEWER OPTION: We are currently working with the City of Bozeman on creating a gravity sewer solution for Northwest Crossing. This will require some plan changes to the Norton East Ranch Outfall Sewer plans (CIP WWIF38 and WWIF31) to accommodate a gravity sewer option for Northwest Crossing. If this sewer option is approved, then the use of a lift station will not be needed. There will be gravity sewer in Baxter Lane that all of Northwest Crossing can gravity drain to. 2 The following design report follows the section numbering of the Circular DEQ-2 Standards for Public Sewage Systems, June 3, 2016. 2 DESIGN CONDITIONS (DEQ 11.12) The proposed subdivision includes sixteen (20) developable parcels of varying land uses. See the Framework Plan prepared by Norris Design located in the Appendix B for details. The wastewater generation for the proposed development includes sewer services for B2-M and REMU Zoning designation. The future uses could include any of the uses outlined in the UDO Sec. 38.300.110. The design flowrates for this development are based on the “City of Bozeman Wastewater Collection Facilities Plan (WCFP) Update” prepared my Morrison-Maierle, Inc. in 2015, Tables 2-13 and 2-14. Both Tables 2-13 and 2-14 are based on gross acreage. The final addition to projected wastewater generation is infiltration/inflow (I/I) which is 150 gpd/acre per the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy (Section V.B.4 - Page 48). 3 The anticipated sewer flows are calculated as follows: Table 1 – Project Anticipated Demand Community Commercial Mixed Use -(B2-M)Gross Acres =28.618 Development Parcel Area (acres)3Net to Gross Multiplier Average Demand 1(2,400 gdp/ac)Average Demand (gpm) A 9.03 1.11 23,993 16.7 B 8.51 1.11 22,611 15.7 C 8.31 1.11 22,080 15.3 TOTAL 25.9 68,683 47.7 Residential Emphasis Mixed Use -(REMU)Gross Acres =131.889 Development Parcel Area (acres)3Net to Gross Multiplier Average Demand 2(1,456 gdp/ac)Average Demand (gpm) D 3.16 1.47 6,763 4.7 E 3.61 1.47 7,726 5.4 F 12.31 1.47 26,345 18.3 G 12.29 1.47 26,302 18.3 H 9.25 1.47 19,796 13.7 I 8.37 1.47 17,913 12.4 J 2.84 1.47 6,078 4.2 K 2.15 1.47 4,601 3.2 L 0.00 1.47 0 0.0 M 2.36 1.47 5,051 3.5 N 2.30 1.47 4,922 3.4 O 1.94 1.47 4,152 2.9 P 5.01 1.47 10,722 7.4 Q 5.72 1.47 12,241 8.5 4R 1.01 1.47 2,161 1.5 S 9.06 1.47 19,389 13.5 T 5.41 1.47 11,578 8.0 4U 2.94 1.47 6,292 4.4 TOTAL 89.7 192,030 133.4 1 Design flowrates for this development are based on the “City of Bozeman Wastewater Collection Facilities Plan Update” prepared my Morrison-Maierle, Inc. in 2015.

The property is planned to be served by the proposed Davis Lift Station. This lift station and associated piping to serve the drainage basin is currently under design by HDR Engineering. We have contacted HDR and they have confirmed that infrastructure is currently being designed with approvals anticipated early spring of 2020. The 2015 City of Bozeman Wastewater Collection System Facilities plan assigned projected loadings to property within the plans study area based on zoning or land classifications depending on the status of the property within the study area. A majority of the undeveloped land within the study area utilized an average day flow rate of 770 gallons/acre/day which was based on 5.5 units per acre. This value was assigned for land defined as Residential and Present Rural based on the 2009 Bozeman Community Plan. Using the 770 gallons per acre value for the 160-acre development results in an average assigned flow rate of 1,232,000 gallons per day. It was anticipated that some of the 42,000 acres within the study area would be developed at higher densities and some at lower densities based on location, land uses, areas not developable such as wetlands and other similar factors. If these areas were assigned a maximum density rather than the 5.5 units per acre, the size of the pipes in the collection system would be unreasonably large which would not make sense from an economic point of view and would be difficult and costly to maintain. A snap shot of the modeling can be seen by looking at the projected peak flow at the interceptor going in the Water Reclamation Facility based on build out of the study area. This interceptor was sized at a peak flow of 64,300,000 gallons per day which equates to an approximate population of 300,000. From a treatment perspective, the City of Bozeman’s Water Reclamation Facility has adequate capacity to serve the development. 4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION (11.14) The purpose of this design report is to quantity the anticipated sewer flows from the Northwest Crossing Subdivision and provide preliminary sizing for the proposed sewer infrastructure. The flows from the Northwest Crossing Subdivision will discharge into the exiting 21” sewer main in the Cottonwood Road Right of way and the 27” sewer main in Baxter Lane. A portion of the Northwest Crossing Subdivision property will gravity sewer (proposed 15” sewer main) into the existing 21” sewer main in Cottonwood Road. Another portion of the property will need to drain to a private lift station. The private lift station will have a force main that transports the effluent to an existing manhole at the corner of Cottonwood Road and Baxter Lane. 5 DRAWINGS (11.15) Drawings identifying the site of the project, including the location and alignment of proposed facilities are included in this submittal. 7 6 DESIGN CRITERIA (11.16) Design criteria including average and peak flows were provided in previous sections. The proposed sewer mains will conform to the State’s minimum vertical and horizontal separation criteria from water mains. The proposed conventional gravity sewer collection system is to be constructed to City of Bozeman and the 6th Edition of Montana Public Works (MPW) standard specifications. The sewer mains shall be SDR 35 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe. All manholes shall be standard concrete manholes spaced no more than 400 feet apart. 7 SITE INFORMATION (11.17) The development is bounded by Cottonwood Street (principal arterial) to the east, Baxter Lane (minor arterial) to the north, Laurel Parkway (collector) to the west and West Oak Street (principal arterial) to the south. The proposed development is currently undeveloped agricultural land which slopes gently to the north with existing grades of less than 4% and mostly Meadowcreek, turner and Amsterdam silt loam soil deposits (USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Web Soil Survey). See the soils report located in Appendix D for details. 8 ALTERNATIVE SELECTION/ANALYSIS (11.18) No proposed alternatives were considered 9 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS (11.19) There are no expected environmental impacts from this sewer main extension, as the City of Bozeman Wastewater Treatment Plant has more than adequate capacity for this extension.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/? cid=nrcs142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity. Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries. Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil 5 scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research. The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map. The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from one point to another across the landscape. Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties. While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil. Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date. After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and Custom Soil Resource Report 6 identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately. Custom Soil Resource Report 7 Soil Map The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil map units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols displayed on the map.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different Custom Soil Resource Report 11 management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
