APPLICATION F'OR A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
FOR ACCESSORY IMPROVEMENTS TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON
A PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED IN THE FLOOD FRINGE WITHIN
THE IOO-YEAR FLOOD PLAIN
Property Owner Lawrence Singer and Lisa Singer
262r CR100,
Carbondale, Colorado. 81623
Property Location:
Request for Approval:(a) A Development Permit for proposed construction within Lot 2 that is
located within the delineated flood fringe (Zone A-3). The area of
construction activities is associated with the proposed accessory
improvements on this residential lot.
(b) Approval of construction in accordance with Garfield County's
Regulations regarding Development Permits and work in a flood plain.
SUMMARY OF REQUESTS
The applicant is requesting a Development Permit in order to construct the proposed
improvements within the delineated flood fringe on Lot 2, of the Ries F.xemption. The work in
the floodplain will involve the construction of an approximate2,2}} ft2 RV Barn/Greenhouse
structure, a replacement Onsite'Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS), utility services,
driveway expansion and associated landscape grading within the proposed accessory
improvernetrt ur"as. All work in the floodplain will be performed within the limits of the
established FEMA flood fringe or the ZoneB 500-year floodplain and above the existing river
channel top of bank. No work is proposed within the established FEMA floodway. The finish
floor grade of the proposed RV Barn/Greenhouse will be one foot or more above the 10O-year
Base Flood Elevation(BFE). The area will be grubbed and excavated as needed for foundation
construction and placement of structural fill materials typical for accessory building construction.
The proposed construction does not involve the placement of any structures or materials that will
adveisel-^y affect the existing flood hydrology or impact any sensitive area. Utility trenches will
be restored to original grade, compacted and re-vegetated. No construction or other work
activities will be performed in the floodway therefore the existing floodway will be maintained
with O-rise of flood levels and velocities. All disturbed area on the site and within the flood
fringe area will be stabilized and re-vegetated. Best management erosion control practices shall
be in place and maintained as needed.
The subject property is located in section 31, Township 7 South, Range 87
V/est of the 6th P.M. in Garfield County at Lot 2, of the Ries Exemption.
Applicant: Lawrence Singer and Lisa Singer

Page 4
The site elevations and the FEMA FIRM mapping elevations on the attached site plan and the
attached construction flood certificate are referenced to the 1929 vertical datum in relationship to
the cunent published FIRM maP.
The proposed development within the flood fringe will occur to the South and outside of the
floodway as defined by the established FEMA Floodplain line through the subject property.
The 1QQ-year BFE at the most upstream point of the proposed RV Barn/Greenhouse is at an
approximate elevation of 6254.64. This single accessory structure development will result in
finish floor grades constructed at least one foot above the BFE, resulting in a finished floor
elevation of 6255.64 or greater. The floodplain information has been derived from the FEMA
FIRM map, Community-Panel Number; 080205 1880 B, Revised 11311986.
The Regulations with respect to the floodplain require a Floodplain Development Permit for
improvements and uses within the flood plain in accordance with Section4-109 of the Land Use
and Development Code. The majority of the Applicant's proposed construction and uses are
inside of the flood fringe (ZoneA-3). The construction activities will be completed with
appropriate flood proof construction including the stabilization of any placed fill as applicable by
definition under the Floodplain Regulations Section 3-301.
OVERLAY DISTRICT REGULATIONS
Qo^finn ?-?ô1 ET ¡-\A DPLAIN rì\/ljpT ^v P IAT TT A rì'NTq
All proposed improvements and uses described, in the summary of requests above, are permitted
in aıcordance with Table 3-301 Floodplain Overlay Use Restrictions Table. These specifically
include construction of permanent structures, lawns, open areas, gatdens, driveways and other
typical residential accessories. The accessory improvements also include underground utility
services. Holy Cross Energy has consented to relinquish the Overhead Power Line Easement per
letter dated l.y'1ay 12,2014. Also provided from Holy Cross Energy is the proposed plan for
retirement of the overhead power lines and placement of a new HCE Pad Mount Transformer.
Applicant will assume the costs to repair and improve piping of the Launsbury Ditch within the
subject property. The existing splitter box that is currently malfunctioning will be relocated at the
east side of the subject property. Proposed piping will allow inigation waters to be piped
directly to the adjacent Lot 1 property. Water allotment to the subject property will flow to a
buried holding tank on the east side of the subject property within the building envelope. Latetal
ditches on the subject property will be abandoned to allow more consistent delivery of water to
the surrounding land by an automated sprinkler system. The proposed piping may be modified
in the field to accommodate existing trees.
The proposed new OWTS tanks will be anchored and sealed to resist infiltration of flood or
ground waters. Sewer piping will be encased as it crosses other utility pipes.
Íh. ptopored new Soil Treatment Area (STA) will be mounded four feet above native grade
with imported silty, slightly clayey sand. Fill for the mound system was tested by Kordzeil

Engineering and consists of llYo gravel, 48Yo sand, and 4lo/o fines with a description of sand,
silty, slightly clayey. Placing the STA at least four feet higher than the BFE will insure that
potêntiai elevated ground, storm or flood waters are not able to infiltrate the system. Likewise,
ihe additional height of filtration and following the existing berm contour will prevent discharge
from the OV/TS from entering the ground or surface waters.
To insure no infiltration of ground or surface waters into the OV/TS, septic tanks will be ,r/
installed in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations and appropriately seam-sealed.
Watertight concrete tanks with watertight ribbed PVC risers and sealed lids will be installed.
Septic tanks wilt be anchored to provide buoyancy compensation during time of elevated ground
*ut"r. All gravity and pressure pipes shall consist of specified materials and tested to be
waterproof so that no water infiltrates the system. Pressurized effluent lines from the tanks to the
S1A shatt consist of Class II HDPE pipe, which is continuous so there can be no connections and
joints to fail. All joints required will be compression or appropriate threaded fittings.
Waterproof electric lines will be buried in accordance with Holy Cross Energy and state code. "/All systems within the proposed structure will be raised at least one foot above the BFE to
prevent contamination or erosion from potential limited floodwaters.
Construction of the Greenhouse/RV storage structure will have the Lowest Floor one foot above
the BFE. A Subsoil Study for Foundation Design was performed by H-P Geotech as Job No.
ll4 230|and is attached. Specifi.cally the ground floor will be slab on grade, set with the finish
floor one foot above the BFE. The foundation system will be spread footings bearing on the
natural soils. Footings placed on undisturbed natural granular soils will be designed for
allowable bearing pressure of 2,500 psf. Expected settlement will be 1 inch or less. Footings
will have a minimum width of 16 inches for continuous walls and24 inches for isolated pads.
These foundation specifications are typical for construction in this area to enable adequate
resistance to hydrostatic pressure from ground water or minor flood andlot storm event
conditions. Placement of the foundation footings will be at least 36 inches below BFE.
Continuous foundation walls will be reinforced to resist laterul earth pressure. Existing topsoil
wilt be removed so that the footing bearing level is extended down to relatively dense natural
granular soils. Exposed soils in the footing area will be moistened and compacted. Footing
areas will be dewatered prior to concrete placement.
The natural on-site soils were determined to be suitable to support the Greenhouse/RV storage
structure floor slab. To reduce the effects of some differential movement, floor slab will be
separate from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which allow unrestricted
mıvement. Floor slab control joints will be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking.
The proposed driveway expansion will improve maneuverability for the entrance and exit of
vehiıles. Existing driveway elevation is near the BFE at 6255.00 feet and the auto court is
elevated slightly above the BFE. Additional driveway gravel will be placed and graded to the
Slab foundation structure at a minimum elevation of 6255.64 feet. Gravel driveways will
provide attenuation of storm or flood waters via infiltration into the native soils.

The geotechnical engineer has determined that slab-on-grade construction for the proposed
accessory building will not require an under-drain system. All fill materials placed around the
final Lowest Floor, constructed one foot above BFE, will be compacted to at least 95o/o of
maximum standard Proctor density at optimum moisture content'
The proposed construction and minor placement of any fill associated with landscape
improvements within the flood fringe will not affect BFE or cause adverse changes in flood
patterns downstream. No geo hazards or wetlands have been identified on the developed site. No
hydrologic condition has been identified that requires USACE determination or permitting.
The applicable maps identify that the improvements are within the 1OO-year delineated flood
fringe. The construction in the established flood fringe (Zone A3) of Lot 2 is for
accessory/agricultural improvements only. The construction activities are limited to an
approximat e 2,200 ft2 RV Barn/Greenhouse structure, a replacement OWTS, utility services,
driveway expansion and associated landscape grading within the proposed accessory
improvement areas. The proposed access and driveway will not be impacted by flooding. The
proposed construction includes walls, placement of structural filI
materials typical for accessory construction and the placement of fill associated w1th
landscape improvements within the flood fringe only. Utility trenches will be restored to original
grade, compacted and re-vegetated. All utility service improvements will be installed in sealed
conduits The finished construction will be designed and constructed with ffirials
are to flood damage. No construction activities are proposed that will restrict or
otherwise adversely impact the current flood flow conditions. No storage or disposal of any
hazardous materials is proposed within the floodplain.

Section 4-109(C) REVIEW CzuTERIA
1. Proposed improvements lie within an open field with no possibility of endangerment to
life or property. Ample area allows for the flow of potential floodwaters. The lot is
relatively flat and erosion should not be a factor.
2. The accessory RV storage/Greenhouse structure shall be built on a poured concrete slab
at an elevafion one foot above the BFE. The associated grading will be constructed to
deflect floodwater to its natural path. Existing earth berms exist on the south side of the
site and on the adjacent parcel to the east. The proposed berm with installed OWTS
components will connect these two existing berms and will maintain a consistent broad
path for potential flood or storm waters.
3. The adjacent land to the west in Lot 1 of the Ries Exemption, down gradient of the
proposed improvements, is avacant field and also within the 100 year floodplain fringe.
The building envelope and improvements on Lot 1 are not in proximity to any storm or
flood water flow from subject site. Additionally the large, well constructed Slough Ditch
and Bannin gLateral would catch any floodwater flow to the west of subject site. Fill and
landscaping materials placed near the western property line shall be compacted and
stabilized with re-vegetation. Contents of the Greenhouse and storage barn shall be
contained within the structure.
4. All proposed improvements are compatible with Floodplain Overlay Regulations 3-301.
The proposed Greenhouse/RV storage structure will be accessory and agricultural with
no human habitation. The proposed widened driveway will be above the BFE and gravel
to allow absorption of water. Gardens, lawns, driveways are accessory to the single
family home within the building envelope on the 3.0 acre parcel.
The existing septic system on the proper"ty is failing. The existing leach field is in a moist
area adjacent to Lot 1 Ries Exemption. The designed new OWTS will be sealed and able
to resist the infiltration of flood waters. The OWTS mound drain field is proposed to be
built up within the berm at seven feet, which will place the infiltrative area well above
and outside the potential flood water conveyance path or potential backwater.
5. Access to the property for emergency vehicles does not change and will be enhanced.
County Road 100 is the south border to the property, which allows easy access. The
parcel is flat and proposed widening and expansion of the gravel driveway will allow a
tum-around areaoff County Road 100. This will enhance everyday safety for vehicles
needing to turn around and improve access to large emelgency vehicles.
6. Proposed improvements will decrease Applicant's reliance on goverìment services in
times of emergency. Approval has been granted from Holy Cross Energy for the
overhead power lines to be buried. This will result in the retirement of three poles, the
overhead transformer, and overhead triplex. Total costs will be paid by applicant
Applicant: Lawrence Singer and Lisa Singer
SE Job No. 14097.01

and the new pad mount Transformer and meter will be easily accessible from
County Road 100 for the utility company. The OWTS is being improved and
upgraded. The property has a self-contained well for water.
7. The stream reach with the vicinity of the subject property lies within a broad floodplain
area with scattered residential development, agricultural fields and vegetated areas with
trees, shrubs and open grass areas. The subject property within the left bank flood fringe
is well vegetated with minimal sloped terrain with established drainage paths and exiting
ditches that will serve to drain and attenuate excess storm or flood waters. The driveway
consists ofpervious gravel and all existing and proposed grades on the site are generally
at or slightly below the BFE profile. The onsite soils are alluvial with high capacity for
infiltration of surface water.
Based on the site conditions summarized above, the height and velocities of potential
backwater flood flows is minimal and is not expected to increase as a result of the
proposed improvements. With respect to the extensive vegetation and shallow
topography we do not expect any concern with wave action or erosion from receding
flood backwater. Due to the large and relatively flat flood fringe arearelative to the
floodway the rate of rise and potential for sediment transport is expected to be low and
insignificant in terms of the overall width of the flood zones. Therefore we do not believe
that the items in Section 4-109, C-7 are applicable to this project.
B. No waterfront facility is applicable to the proposed improvements.
9. The delineated locations of the proposed site improvements have been determined
to be appropriate based on the existing conditions with respect to survey
topography. The location and design of the replacement OWTS will provide for
improved treatment and protection of the system. The layout and proposed grading
maintains drainage flow paths with respect to the floodplain and results in minimal
effect to potential erosion or conveyance of storm and flood waters.
10. All proposed accessory improvement building and uses are consistent with use in
the flood fringe as specified in the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code,

on4 AND i.: ¿r
In response to the County's Completeness reviéw letter and request for additional information
the following narrative further describes activities that will be implemented on site associated
with stabilization,re-vegetation and best management practices. Detailed plans addressing all
applicable code requirements will be prepared and submitted for building permit application.
Construction Site Management
It is not likely that the Site will receive storm water from up-gradient offsite sources due to
neighboring topography and well established vegetation. During construction, any runoff will be
controlled and attenuated on the site by direct infiltration into the ground, temporary retention in
the vegetated depressions and by collection and conveyance to existing ditches. Potential erosion
and sedimentation from disturbed areas will be controlled by installation of strategically placed
silt fencing and wattles (erosion logs) where necessary. To protect newly constructed earthen
structures from erosion, wattles may be placed upstream of newly installed fill. To control the
potential transport of sediment off site, wattles will be placed within drainage paths and swales to
collect potential debris or sediment from leaving the site or being transported to ditches or the
roadside swale. These structural measures in conjunction with material storage and management
will ensure little to no potential risk during a storm or flood event. All construction will be
performed after major runoff and it is anticipated that recovery of disturbed areas will be
completed prior to fall with adequate vegetated cover established by early spring.
The followingmaterial storage and management practices are to be implemented at the Site:
. Adequate garbage, construction waste, and sanitary waste handling, and disposal
facilities are provided to keep the Site clear of potential pollutants and pollutant sources.
. 'Wastes are disposed of in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and applicable
state and federal guidelines.
. Materials and wastes no longer required for the construction will be removed from the
Site and properly disposed.. Potential pollutants and pollutant sources are handled in such away as to minimize
contamination risk.
Applicant: Lawrence Singer and Lisa Singer
SE Job No. 14097.01

Page 10
. Chemicals and petroleum products stored on-site and outside will be covered, placed in
secondary containment, secured chemical storage lockers, and protected from accidental release
on designated areas above and outside ofthe flood fringe zone atea.
S oil Stabili zation and Re-Vegetation
Soil stabilizationmeasures could include (as needed) applying water and binders for dust control
and seeding or placing geo-textile mats on exposed slopes of proposed berms and areas of
improvements. These measures can be used to stabilize disturbed areas if construction activities
have temporarily ceased. When construction is completed, these measures are also used in the
interim prior to permanent stabilization of these areas. V/e anticipate that soil stabilization
following construction can be primarily achieved using natural grass seed mix to best match
existing ground cover by hydro-seeding, hand-cast seed, and mulching'
Two areas of potential erosion conceÍr in the event of flooding were identified. The proposed
berm is designed to be installed between two existing berms and therefore will not have an up-
stream edge exposed to potential storm or flood water flows. The greenhouse/RV barn and
driveway improvements, where finish grade is to be raised one foot +/-, will be constructed with
a 2:1 slope back to existing grades and stabilized with imbedded rip rap to prevent any potential
erosion. All applicable erosion and storm water management will be detailed with the building
permit plans.
Section 4-203-N -1.i & i WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PLAN
An Onsite'Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) is proposed for the subject Property.
The OWTS is being designed by All Service Septic, LLC. The subsurface was investigated on
April 17,2014 and subsequent gradation analysis and hydrometer analysis was run by H-P
Geotech and the results are detailed in a report dated April23,2014, Job No. ll4 021F,. As part
of the All Service Septic report attached hereto dated July 9, 2014 is the USDA Soil Texture
Gradation Test Results.
The proposed (STA) will be a mound system with imported soil, building the infiltrative area up
to four feet above natural grade. Fill for the mound system was tested by Kordziel Engineering,
Inc. and consists of llo/o gravel, 48o/o sand, and 4lYo fines with a description of sand, silty,
slightly clayey. The Gradation results from Kordziel Engineering are within the July 9"'report
from All Service Septic. The approximate footprint of the infiltrative area will be approximately
l5' x 45'.
Height of the mound : 4' fúl material * 2' sand filter material + 1' pipe and gravel * 1' topsoil
to equal a height of 8 feet. Approximate footprint of basal area of mound : 33' x 63'
considering 6 feet to the bottom of the infiltrative area.

All the listed items in Sub-section (1) a-i are included on the Exhibit A maps previously
submitted. The 100-year BFE at the most upstream point associated with the structure within the
flood fringe is at an approximate elevation of 6254.64. The proposed RV Bam/Greenhouse finish
floor elevation will be at 6255.64 a minimum one foot above the BFE.
The stream reach with the vicinity of the subject property lies within a broad floodplain area with
scattered residential development, agricultural fields and vegetated areas with trees, shrubs and
open grass areas. The subject property within the left bank flood fringe is well vegetated with
minimal sloped tenain with established drainage paths and exiting ditches that will serve to drain
and attenuate excess storm or flood waters. The subject arcawhere improvements are proposed
is within the left bank flood fringe. The total flood fringe cross sectional distance parallel to the
upstream wall of the proposed structure is approximately 330 feet from the edge of County Road
100 to the delineated floodway. The proposed accessory building structute's wall is 55 feet long
or approximately lTYo of the total left bank flood fringe width. The majority of this proposed
structure is within the downstream shadow of the adjacent ZoneB elevated ground to the east
where the existing residence is situated along with part of the existing auto court and proposed
driveway expansion. The potential effect from this limited obstruction is insignificant in
relationship to the fulIwidth of the flood fringe.
The floodway cross sectional width north of the proposed structure is approximately 900 feet and
the right bank width of the flood fringe is up to 700 feet to the northemmost 10O-year flood plain
boundary. The cross sectional widths of within these areas vary due to the existing relatively flat
irregular topography within the area that includes elevated ZoneB and C land. No manmade
obstructions or development exists within these floodway or flood fringe areas to the north.
Therefore we do not expect any significant or calculable increases in the water surface on the
subject property as a result of the minor obstruction resulting from the construction of the
proposed RV Barn/Greenhouse structure in the left bank flood fringe. The applicable FEMA
Flood Study, Garfreld County, Colorado, dated January 3,1986, delineates this section of the
Roaring Fork River as being in Reach 3 approximately 540 feet downstream of the flood study
profile section CA. The floodway data in Table 2 associated with Section CA indicates that the
maximum rise in water surface would be 0.5 feet if the entire left and right bank flood fringe
cross sectional length of approximately 1030 feet was completely obstructed. The existing and
proposed improvements with the flood fringe in this area result in an insignificant cross-sectional
area of obstruction.
The general topography on the site is flat with approximately three feet of relief from east to
west on stable ground with less than2%o slope. The slope from south to north is essentially
neutral. The existing grades on the site with the flood fringe range from 0.25 feet above to 0.5
feet below the relative BFE's. The existing grades along the eastem boundary match the BFE of
6257,therefore the floodwater or back water flow across this area is not expected. The primary
flow paths that could drain potential acceding or receding flood flows exist north of the existing
residence and south of the residence to the existing berms. These areas within the shallow flood
fringe each provide a minimum cross sectional width of 60 feet to allow minimal receding flood

Page 12
flow across the site to the west. The existing ZoneB elevated land provides a barrier to any
potential acceding flood flow from the floodway to the north. An open channel ditch traverses
the northwest corner of the flood fringe by existing topography and provides for a defined flow
path to drain potential receding flood waters. The driveway consists of pervious gravel and all
existing and proposed grades on the site are generally at or slightly below the BFE profile. The
onsite soils are alluvial with high capacity for infiltration of surface water.
Sub Section 4-203-0- 2&3
In addition the applicable req uirements of Section 3-301.C.2 will be fuither addressed at building
permit by the Architect. Pursuant to Sub-section 3, attached is a construction Elevation
Certificate delineating the elevations and flood conditions associated with the proposed
accessory/agricultural structure. Pursuant to Sub-section 3, the structure will be designed and

Mineral Interest Research
FROM
DATE:
RE:
Mineral interests may be sevçred from surface right interests in real property. Colorado revised
statute 24-65,5-103 requires notification to mineral owners when a landowner applies for a land
use designation by a local governmÊnt. As such, the landowner must research the current owners
of mineral interests for the property.
The Garfield County Land Use and Development Code of 2013 ("LUDC") Section 4-
101(EXlXb)(4) requires written notice to owners of mineral interests in the subject propeúy ooas
such owners can be identified through the records in the offrce of the Clerk and Recorder or
Assessor, or tbrough other means.n'
It is the duty of the applicant to notiS mineral interest owners. The following is a suggested
process to rescarch mineral interests:
1. Review the cunent ownership deed for the property (i.e. Warranty Deed, Special
Wananty, Quit Claim Deed or Bargain and Sale Dced-NOT a Deed of Trust). The
ownership deed is usually one or two pages. Is there a reservation of mineral interests on
the ownership deed? Are there any oxceptions to title? A deed may include a list of
reservations that reference mineral olüners or oil and gas leases.
2. Review your title insurance policy. Are there exceptions to title listed under Schedule B-
II? If so, review for mineral interests that were reseryed and oil and gas leascs.
3.' Check with the Assessor's office to determine if a mineral interest has been reserved
from the subject property, The Assessor's offrce no longer documents the mineral
reservation ownership for its tax roll reçords unless ownership has been proven, There
are only a limited number of mineral o\ryne$ who have provided such information to the
Assessor's office so this may not provide any information, depending on your property.
MEivtO
June24,2014
Page2
4. Research the legal description of the subject property with the Clerk and Recorder's
computer. You can search the Section, Township, and Range of the subject property.
You may find deeds for mineral interests for the subject properfy.
5, Research whether a Notice of Mineral Estate Ownership was filed for the subject
property. On the Clerk and Recorder's computer, search under Filter (on the right hand
side of the screen), General Recordings, Notice of Mineral Estate Ownership for the
subject property.
6. If you find mineral interest owners as reservations on your deed, listcd in your title
insurance policy, from the Assessorns records or the Clerk and Recorderos computer, you
need to determine whether these mineral interests were transferred by deed and recorded
in the Clerk and Recorder's office.
7, Enter the name of the mincral interest owner as the Grantor in the Clerk and Recorder's
computer to see if the mineral interest was ffansfened. If you find a transfer deed, you
need to repeat this process to follow any transfer of the mineral interest to present day.
8. Include a description of your resea¡ch process in your application and the name(s) and
address(es) of the current mineral interest owner(s).
Mineral interest research can be a diflicult and time consuming proçess. If you are unable to
determine mincral rights ownership by yourself consider hiring an attorney or landman.
Attorneys and landmen specialize in determining mineral rights ownership, but they charge a fee
for their services.

Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design and Floodplain Considerations
2621 CR 100
Garfield County, Colorado
Larry,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC performed a subsurface investigation and is in the process of completing
an onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) design for the subject residence. The property is
located outside of Carbondale, in an area where OWTSs and wells are necessary. The subject
property is located within the floodplain.
SITE CONDITIONS
A 4-bedroom, single-family residence and one bedroom cabin presently exist and are utilizing an
existing OWTS. There is a desire to upgrade the existing OWTS and incorporate an addition to the
residence and a future greenhouse/RV parking structure with plumbing. There is a private well
located on the property. Minimum regulatory setbacks will be maintained to pertinent physical
features such as the private well, the Roaring Fork River, and auxiliary ditches,
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on April 17,2014 by digging one 6.5-foot profile pit and taking a soil
sample from approximately 2 to 3-feet below grade. A gradation analysis and hydrometer analysis was
run by HP Geotech and results are detailed in a report dated April 23, 2014, Job No 114 0218.
The materials encountered in the profile pit consisted of 2.O-feet dark brown, dense, moist root zone,
underlain brown gravelly sand with 4 to 6-inch cobbles to a maximum depth explored of 6.5-feet
where groundwater was encountered. The bottom of the pit exposed larger cobbles up to 18-inches
in diameter.
The gradation performed by HP Geotech shows the soil consists of 54o/o gravel, 39% sand, andTo/o
silt and clay. The USDA soil type is classified as Very Gravelly Sand.
Groundwater was monitored after ditches were turned on May 5,2014. Groundwater was recorded
in the profile pit at 5.5-feet on May 6,2014, at 4.5-feet on May 15, 2014, and at 3.5-feet below grade
on May 30,2014. For purposes of this design, we will estimate high groundwater level at 2-feet
below grade.
The proposed soil treatment area (STA) will be a mound system with imported soil, building the
infiltrative area up to 4-feet above natural grade. Fill for the mound system was tested by Kordziel
Page2
Engineering, lnc. and consists of 1 1o/o gràyê',48% sand, and 41% fines with a description of sand,
silty, slightly clayey.
FLOODPLAIN CONSIDERATIONS
To ensure no infiltration of flood waters into the OWTS, septic tanks will be installed in accordance
with manufacturers' recommendations and appropriately seam-sealed. lf groundwater levels are
higher than 2-feet below grade, and burial depth exceeds 2-feet, an H-20 rated lid will be specified.
Additionally, PVC risers and watertight lids will be specified. Septic tanks will be anchored to
assure they do not float.
The STA will be mounded 4-feet above native grade with the imported silty, slightly clayey sand
described above. The STA will consist of a pressurized sand filter system will be an extension of the
existing berm located in a drier portion of the property, east of where the profile pit was excavated.
The mound design will incorporate the minimum final slope no greater than 3-feet horizontal to one
foot vertical.
DESIGN CALCULATIONS
3 bedrooms x 75 gallons/person/day x 2 people/bedroom = 450 gallons
3 additional bedrooms x 75 gallons/person/day x I person/bedroom = 225 gallons
Wastewater flow = 675 = Q
Septic Tank sizing for 6 bedrooms = 1750 gallons minimum
Soil Type = Sand = 1.0 gallons/ SF / day
Soil Treatment Area = 675 SF
Pressure dosed bed 6.75 x 1.0 = 675 SF
Pipe and gravel bed = 675 SF x 1.0 = 675 SF
Approximate footprint of infiltrative area = 15' x 45'
Height of mound = 4' fill material + 2' sand filter material + 1' pipe and gravel + 1' topsoil = I ft
Approximate footprint of basal area of mound = 33' x 63' (considering 6 feet to the bottom of the
infiltrative area)
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
The installation will include two 10OO-gallon septic tanks with a pumping system in the second
compartment of the second septic tank. Effluent will be pumped to a 15' x 45' sand filter, mounded
over 4-feet of imported fill and incorporated into an extension of an existing berm. The sand filter will
be pressure dosed.
