Subject: As -Built Evaluation of Individual Sewage Disposal System, Lot 3,
Overview Subdivision, Garfield County, Colorado.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Oger:
Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. has observed the installation of the Individual
Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) for the three bedroom residence at the subject site. The
ISDS components observed include: septic tank, dosing tank, , sewer pipe, effluent pipe,
cleanouts, manifold pipes, Infiltrator chambers, inspection ports and the locations of all
components. Based on our observations made during our site visit on August 14, 2007, it
is our opinion that the ISDS was constructed in accordance with our ISDS design dated
July 31, 2007, Job No. 107 0335, except for the following: 1) No observation ports were
observed in the corners of the absorption bed. We recommend that observation ports be
placed in all four corners of the absorption bed; and, 2) The 1,000 gallon, two chamber
Copeland Concrete septic tank proposed was replaced with a 1,250 gallon, two chamber
Norwesco plastic septic tank. The Norwesco tank exceeds the minimum specifications in
the design and does not compromise the integrity of the system. An As -Built site plan is
provided as Figure 1.

Subject: Percolation Testing and Individual Sewage Disposal System Design,
Proposed Residence, Lot 3, Overview Subdivision, Garfield County,
Colorado.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Oger:
As requested, Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. has designed an Individual Sewage
Disposal System (ISDS) based on the percolation rate of the subsoils for the proposed
residence located on County Road 115. The data obtained and our ISDS design
recommendations based on the proposed construction and subsurface conditions
encountered are presented in this report.
Site Conditions: The project site slopes moderately down to the south and site
vegetation consists of scrub oak, sage brush and grasses. Water service will be provided
to the proposed three bedroom residence by an onsite water well. The proposed residence
will be a single story modular structure over a full basement. If plumbing is proposed in
the basement, a lift station may be needed to pump sewage to the septic tank.
Percolation Test: Percolation tests were originally conducted on June 15, 2007 to
evaluate the percolation rate of the natural soils at the site. One profile pit and three
percolation test pits were excavated at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1. The
test holes were hand excavated at the bottom of the shallow backhoe pits and were soaked
with water for 8 to 24 hours prior to testing. The percolation test results in the clay soils
were not suitable for a conventional ISDS; therefore, additional tests were completed at
approximately 63 to 64 inches below the ground surface in the underlying sand and gravel
ONINNHid'3 ON59iSIOn July 10, 2007. The soils exposed in the profile pit consist of about 12 inches of
A.1Nf?CC?n, tops oil overlying about 3.5 feet of clay. Beneath the clay, sand and gravel soils were

encountered to the depth explored. A log of subsoil conditioning encountered in the
profile pit is shown on Figure 2. The soils exposed in the percolation test holes were
similar to those observed in the profile pit. The average soil percolation rate is 36
minutes per inch and the percolation test results are presented on Figure 3.
ISDS Analysis: Based on the subsurface conditions encountered and the percolation test
results, the tested area is suitable for an ISDS utilizing the shallow soils and Infiltrator
chambers. A site plan showing the proposed ISDS, existing water well, proposed
residence, and the minimum horizontal setback distances of site features relative to the
ISDS components is shown on Figure 1. The ISDS was designed for a total of three
bedrooms. All materials and installation should meet the requirements of the Colorado
State Board of Health's Guidelines on Individual Sewage Disposal Systems.
Septic and Dosing Tanks: A concrete two chamber, 1,000 gallon Copeland Concrete
septic tank, or equivalent, will be used for primary treatment of sewage from the
residence. An effluent filter will be installed on the outlet of the second chamber of the
septic tank. Sewage will gravity feed from the proposed residence to the septic tank and
effluent will be gravity fed to the absorption area
If the septic tank access riser lids will be installed at grade, with no backfill cover, then
the lids should be insulated with foam insulation board to provide frost protection. The
sewer pipe inlet tee in the first chamber of the septic tank should be installed beneath the
access lid of the first chamber of the septic tank so that it can be reached for service
should it become clogged. The PVC handle on the effluent filter should be extended up
to withinreach of the septic tank access riser lid. This will allow for easy access and
maintenance of the filter. Approximately 2 feet of soil backfill cover should be placed
over the top of the septic tank to allow for easy access and frost protection. For
maintenance reasons deep tank installations should be avoided and we should be
contacted to evaluate this ISDS design should it appear that a deep tank installation
Job No. 107 0335
Rick and Cassie Oger
July 31, 2007
Page 3
involving more than 4 feet of backfill soil over the top of the septic and/or dose tanks may
be required.
Sewer and Effluent Piping: The sewer line from the proposed residence to the septic
tank should not be less than the diameter of the building drain and not less than 4 inches
in diameter. Soil backfill beneath the sewer pipe must be adequately bedded and
compacted to prevent settlement of the pipe. The sewer pipe should be installed in
landscape areas with at least 2 feet of soil backfill covering the pipe, or the pipe should be
insulated on the top and sides with 2 inch thick rigid foam insulation board for frost
protection. Beneath driven surfaces we suggest Schedule 40 PVC sewer pipe should be
used and the pipe should be insulated if it will be installed with less than 4 feet of backfill
soil cover.
We suggest the use of Schedule 40 PVC pipe between the proposed residence and the
septic tank, though this is not required by local regulations. The portion of the sewer pipe
extending from 5 feet outside the building foundation should have a slope of at least 2%.
Cleanout pipe(s) should be installed in the sewer line adjacent from the building
foundation, adjacent to the inlet of the septic tank, where the sewer pipe bends at 90
degrees or more and at least one cleanout should be installed at least every 100 linear feet
of non -pressurized sewer or effluent pipe throughout its length. We recommend that a
straight section of pipe be installed between the residence foundation and the septic tank.
Any required 90 degree bends in the sewer pipe should be accomplished through the use
of a series of 45 degree smooth elbows or a 90 degree long sweep to help prevent
clogging of the pipe.
Absorption Area: The soil absorption area is designed to be 782 square feet and will
consist of an absorption bed consisting of Infiltrator Quick 4 Standard chambers. The bed
will be five (5) chambers wide by seventeen (17) chambers long. Each chamber was
given 9.2 square feet of absorption area per Colorado Board of Health guidelines.
Absorption area calculations are shown on Figure 4. The absorption bed must be
Job No. 107 0335
Rick and Cassie Oger
July 31, 2007
Page 4
excavated to the approximate depths shown on Figure 6. Due to the shallow clay soils, it
is critical that the Infiltrator chambers be placed on the underlying sand and gravel soils
for the ISDS to function properly. Care must be taken during ins allation to ensure that
the soils exposed in the bottom and sidewalls of the bed excavation are not compacted.
Once the bed excavation is complete it should be Left open, if necessary, to allow the soils
to air dry prior to placement of the chambers and distribution pipes. Once the soils have
air dried, if necessary, the bottom and sidewalls of the excavation should be scarified
prior to placement of the chambers and piping.
The on-site soils can be used as backfill over the chambers and should be graded to
deflect surface water and precipitation away from the absorption area. We recommend
the soil backfill be re -vegetated as soon as possible with a suitable grass mix. It is
important not to plant large vegetation or vegetation with invasive roots in and around the
absorption area and manifold piping as the roots may damage piping.
Combination air vent/inspection ports should be installed at each corner of the absorption
bed. The ports should be constructed of 4 inch diameter PVC pipe installed into the
knockouts provided on the tops of the Infiltrator chambers. The ports should extend a
minimum of 8 inches above the ground surface and should have ventilated removable
caps. The absorption area manifold and dishibution piping layout is shown on Figure 5.
All materials used and installation methods should meet the requirements of the Colorado
State Board of Health, Guidelines on Individual Sewage Disposal Systems, Revised 2000.
Subsurface Drainage: No free water was encountered in the profile pit when observed
on May 5, 2007 and it is our opinion that a subsurface drain will not be required. If free
water is encountered in any excavations on the site we should be notified to re-evaluate
the need for a subsurface drain to protect the absorption area.
Job No. 107 0335
Rick and Cassie Oger
July 31, 2007
Page 5
ISDS Maintenance: The on-site ISDS will require maintenance. The level of
maintenance will vary with the complexity of the system and water use habits of the
users. We recommend that fats, oils, bath oils, greases, paint, solids, water softener
backwash solution, water from hot tubs and other constituents that can clog and foul
collection and disposal equipment are not disposed of in the residence drains. The
absorption area and any areas directly up gradient of it should not be watered by lawn
irrigation systems or other means as the soils may become hydraulically overloaded.
Septic tanks and other treatment tanks should be pumped whenever the sludge occupies
1/3 of the liquid capacity of the first chamber of the septic tank. In addition, the effluent
filter should be checked for clogging at least once per year and cleaned as necessary. We
recommend that an operation and maintenance manual be developed for the ISDS. The
ISDS should be operated and maintained as stipulated in the manual. If you desire our
services, we can prepare the operation and maintenance manual for the on-site ISDS.
Limitations: This design has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted
engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either
express or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are
based upon the data obtained from the profile pit and percolation test holes excavated at
the approximate locations indicated on Figure 1 and to the depths shown on Figures 2 and
3, the proposed type of construction, and our experience in the area. Our findings include
interpolation and extrapolation of the subsurface conditions identified at the profile pit
and percolation test holes and variations in the subsurface conditions may not become
evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered during construction
appear different from those described in this report, we should be notified at once so re-
evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
Based on site reconnaissance, it is our opinion that the designed location of the ISDS does
not violate any setback requirements of the current Colorado State Board of Health
Guidelines on Individual Sewage Disposal Systems ISDS regulations. We recommend
that the position of the ISDS components, proposed residence, existing water well and
Job No. 107 0335
Rick and Cassie Oger
July 31, 2007
Page 6
setback requirements be verified in the field by a Professional Land Surveyor licensed in
the State of Colorado.
Garfield County requires that an As -Built evaluation of engineered ISDS designs be
performed by the ISDS engineer. We should be contacted to perform the ISDS As -Built
evaluation the day before you are ready for the evaluation. Prior to evaluation, all ISDS
components should be installed including: sewer pipe, effluent pipe, septic and dosing
tanks, effluent filter, inlet and outlet tees, Infiltrator chambers and distribution piping. No
components of the ISDS should be backfilled prior to our performing the ISDS As -built
evaluation.
Please contact us for any necessary revisions or discussion after review of this report by
the Garfield County Environmental Health Department. If you have any questions, or if
we may be of further assistance, please let us know.

ISDS ABSORPTION AREA CALCULATIONS
In accordance with the Colorado State Board of Health' s Guidelines on Individual Sewage Disposal Systems,
Revised 2000, the absorption area was calculated using the following equation:
A _ Q(t's)
5
Where:
A = absorption area in square feet
Q = design flow
t = soil percolation rate in minutes per inch = 36
constant = 5
Q = (bedrooms)(2 persons)(75 gallons)(1.5)
Where:
75 = (constant) estimated average gallons of flow per day per person
3 = number of bedrooms
2 = (constant) estimated persons per bedroom
1.5 = (constant) design flow if 150% of average daily flow
Q = 450 gallons per day
A = 810 square feet
Per Colorado State Board of Health ISDS Regulations, a reduction in the size of the absorption area of up to
40% will be allowed for use of Infiltrator Quick 4 Standard chambers in a bed configuration.
Absorption Area = 486 square feet
The absorption area will be increasted by 20% for use of a garbage grinder and an additonal 40% for use of an
automatic clothes washing machine for a total increase of 60%.
Minimum Absorption Area = 778 square feet
Absorption Area per Chamber = 9.2 square feet
Minimum Number of Chambers= 85 chambers
A bed consisting of five (5) chambers wide by seventeen (17) chambers long will be used for a total of 782
square feet of absorption area.
