INTRODUCTION
This report provides the results of an onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) design
for the proposed cabin to be located on Lot 4, Sillivan Subdivision, County Road 335,
Garfield County, Colorado. The purpose of this report was to provide design details for
the OWTS in accordance with the 2014 Garfield County Onsite Wastewater Treatment
System Regulations and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's
Regulation #43. The study was performed as part of our proposal to Lisbeth Oden dated
April 2, 2015.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical previously prepared a subsoil study for foundation and
percolation testing for the proposed residence and presented our findings in a report dated
May 29, 2015, Job No. 115 130A. The findings of that study provided the field
information for the current OWTS design.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The cabin will be a single story wood frame structure over a walkout basement level
located on the lot as shown on Figure 1. Ground floors will be slab -on -grade. Cut depths
for the building foundation are expected to range between about 3 to 10 feet. The
residence will have 2 bedrooms. The OWTS will be located downhill and to the north of
the residence.
SITE CONDITIONS
The lot is vacant and has undergone some previous grading consisting primarily of
shallow cut and fill for an access road to the lower portion of the building site. The
terrain is a moderately steep, northwesterly facing hillside above County Road 335. The
hillside slope grades range from about 10 to 25% becoming steeper above the building
Joh No 115 tion Gel

site on the order of 40%. Elevation difference across the proposed building is about 10
feet. There is several feet of elevation fall to the planned OWTS location. Vegetation
consists of grass and weeds with sage brush and juniper trees.
There is a well for the property located west of the site and on the opposite side of County
Road 335 within an easement on Lot 1 (see Figure 1). We understand the well is not
currently planned to be used for the subject residence and the owner will truck in water to
an onsite cistern to be located east of the residence. A 25 feet minimum setback is
required from the soil treatment area (STA) to the cistern. The existing well is located
considerably outside of the required 100 feet setback. No other wells or surface water
features were observed in the near vicinity of the subject lot.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The field exploration was conducted on April 15, 2015 Three profile pits (Profile Pits 1,
2 and 3) and three percolation test holes (P-1, P-2 and P-3) were excavated at the
approximate locations shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the subsurface conditions. Logs of
the profile pits are provided below. The soils encountered below about 6 to 12 inches of
topsoil consisted of sandy loam with gravel to the maximum depth explored, 61 feet.
Boring 1 located near the downhill side of the proposed cabin drilled for our subsoil study
encountered bedrock at about 17 feet depth and no free water when drilled in May 2015.
A hydrometer and gradation analysis was performed on a disturbed bulk sample of the
soils from Profile Pit 3 with the results provided on Figure 2. The tested sample classifies
a sandy loam per the USDA system. Based on the subsurface conditions and laboratory
testing, the soils have been classified as Soil Type 2 per State regulations, which equates
to a long-term acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.6 gallons per square foot per day.

• No free water was encountered during excavation.
Percolation testing was performed in three test holes on April 16, 2015. Percolation rates
ranged from about 6 to 13 minutes per inch, which is consistent with sandy loam soils.
Percolation test procedures outlined in Regulation #43 were not utilized and test results
were used only for comparison of the soil profile pit evaluations.
OWTS ANALYSIS
Based on the profile pit evaluations and laboratory testing, the base of the STA trenches
will be located in sandy loam soils (Soil Type 2). No groundwater or bedrock which
would act as a confining layer was encountered. The tested site is suitable for a
conventional infiltration disposal system. The STA will be sized for two bedrooms using
an LTAR of 0.6 gallons per square foot per day.
The sewage will gravity flow to the septic tank for primary treatment then gravity flow to
the STA for disposal and final treatment. The STA will consist of two trenches with
Infiltrator chambers. Equal distribution to the chambers will be provided by a distribution
box.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
The design recommendations presented below are based on the proposed construction, the
site and subsurface conditions encountered and our experience in the area. If conditions
encountered during construction are different than those that are described in this report
please contact us and we will re-evaluate our design recommendations.
SOIL TREATMENT AREA
• The treatment system will consist of two trenches with 15 Infiltrator Quick 4 Plus
Standard chambers in each trench (30 chambers total). Equal distribution is
proposed by a Fralo Monster distribution box.
• The STA was sized based on an LTAR of 0.6 gallons per square feet per day.
• Each chamber was allowed 12 square feet of area and a 30% reduction in the STA
was allowed per Garfield County regulations. The total STA is 360 square feet.
Soil treatment area calculations are shown on Figure 3.
• The base and sidewalls of the trench excavations should be scarified prior to
chamber placement.
• A minimum of 12 inches and a maximum of 24 inches of cover soil should be
placed over the chambers.
• Backfill of the Infiltrators should be graded to deflect surface water away from the
STA and should be sloped at 3 Horizontal: 1 Vertical maximum.
• Disturbed soil should be re -vegetated as soon as possible with a native grass mix.
No trees, shrubs or other plants with deep roots should be planted on or near the
absorption arca as this may damage the system piping.
• Four inch diameter inspection ports should be installed vertically into the
knockouts provided in the Infiltrator end caps. Install vents at each end of each
trench. The inspection port piping should be screwed into the top to the chambers
and should not extend down to the ground surface inside the chambers. The
inspection ports should extend at least 8 inches above the finished ground surface
or be protected in a valve box at finished grade.

• A plan view of the STA is presented on Figure 4 and a cross section of the STA is
presented on Figure 5.
OWTS COMPONENTS
Recommended OWTS components provided below are based on aur design details and
our experience with the specific component manufacturers. Equivalent components may
be feasible but need to be approved by us prior to construction.
Septic Tank
• A 1,000 gallon, two chamber Valley Precast septic tank is proposed for primary
treatment. A copy of the tank detail is provided as an attachment to this report.
• An effluent filter should be installed in the tank outlet tee.
• The tank must be set level. The excavation bottom must be free of large rocks or
other objects that could damage the tank during placement. A gravel or road base
bedding material may be necessary to prevent tank damage during placement and
act as a leveling course.
• Install tank with 2 feet minimum cover soil for frost protection. Maximum tank
soil cover depth is 4 feet.
• The septic lids must extend to final surface grade and made to be easily located.
Sewer Pipe
• The sewer line from the residence to the septic tank should not be less than the
diameter of the building drain and not Less than 4 inches in diameter.
• The sewer pipe should have a rating of SDR35 or better. Schedule 40 PVC pipe
must be used beneath driveway surfaces.
• The sewer pipe should be sloped between 2% to 4% to help limit disturbance of
solids in the tank and potential sewage bypass of the first chamber of the tank. If
a steeper slope is needed, this can be accomplished with vertical step-downs in the
sewer line.
Joh No. 115 13OB Hp
-6-
• A minimum 36 inches of cover soil should be provided over the sewer pipe.
Paved areas, patios or other areas without vegetative cover may be more
susceptible to frost. We recommend 48 inches of soil cover over the sewer pipe in
these areas and the pipe be insulated on top and sides with 2 inch thick blue foam
insulation board. If adequate soil cover is not possible, we should be contacted for
re-evaluation prior to installation.
• The sewer pipe should be bedded in compacted 3/ inch road base or native soils
provided that the native soils contain no angular rocks or rocks larger than 21/2
inches in diameter to help prevent settlement of the pipe. Sags could cause
standing effluent to freeze and damage piping.
• Install cleanout pipes within 5 feet of the building foundation, where the sewer
pipe bends 90 degrees or more and every 100 feet of sewer pipe.
• All 90 degree bends should be installed using a 90 degree long -sweep or by using
two 45 degree elbows.
• The sewer line location shown on Figure 1 is considered conceptual. We assume
that there will be only one sewer line exiting the residence. It is the responsibility
of the owner to locate all sewer line exit locations and connections to the septic
tank. We should be notified if there are other sewer lines exiting the residence.
Effluent Transport Piping
• The effluent transport pipe should be 4 inch diameter SDR35 piping sloped at a
2% minimum to flow from the septic tank to the first trench. Piping should extend
at least 6 inches into the top knockout provided in the Infiltrator end caps and be
screwed in place. Splash plates should be installed beneath the inlet piping to help
prevent scouring of the infiltrative soil surface in the chambers.
• Serial connections between the rows of should also consist of 4 inch diameter
SDR35 piping sloped at a 2% minimum to drain to the next trench. Piping should
extend at least 6 inches into the knockout provided in the Infiltrator end caps and
be screwed in place.
• The effluent transport pipe should be bedded in compacted 3/ inch road base or
native soils provided that the native soils contain no angular rocks or rocks larger
Joh No 115 11OB
-7 -
than 21 inches in diameter to help prevent settlement of the pipe. Sags in the
piping could cause standing effluent to freeze and damage.
• A minimum 24 inches of cover soil should be provided over the effluent transport
pipe. Paved areas, patios or other paved area or areas without vegetative cover
may be more susceptible to freezing. We recommend 48 inches of soil cover over
the pipe in these areas. If adequate cover soil is not possible the effluent pipe
should be insulated on top and sides with 2 inch thick foam insulation board, and
we should re-evaluate the proposed soil cover prior to installation.
• Schedule 40 PVC pipe should be used underneath driveway surfaces and be
provided with at least 48 inches of soil cover and be insulated on top and sides
with 2 inch thick foam insulation board.
• All 90 degree bends should be installed using a 90 degree long -sweep or by using
two 45 degree elbows.
Distribution Box
• To ensure equal effluent distribution to the Infiltrators a distribution box will be
used to divide effluent flow. We recommend the Fralo Monster distribution box
since it is easily accessible from ground surface for maintenance with a Fralo
septic tank lid system.
• The distribution box must be accessible from ground surface for inspection and
maintenance per State guidelines.
• The effluent line from the septic tank should be directed downward into the
distribution box with a 90 degree elbow inside the box.
• We recommend that the distribution box be equipped with Tuf-Tite speed levelers
for ease of initial setup and adjustment over time.
• The distribution box must be installed level on a compacted soil subgrade to
ensure equal effluent distribution. If settlement of the distribution box occurs,
unequal effluent distribution may take place which could cause hydraulic overload
of one of the trenches and potential premature failure. The distribution box should
be monitored periodically and the speed levelers should be adjusted as necessary.
The ground surface above and around the distribution box should be graded to
prevent standing water at or near the box.

OWTS OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The OWTS will require periodic inspection and maintenance to function properly. A
properly designed, installed and maintained system can greatly increase its lifespan. The
level of maintenance will vary depending on the complexity of the system and water use
habits of the residents. We recommend that an OWTS Operation and Maintenance
(O&M) Manual be developed. Depending on the complexity of the system a contract
with an OWTS maintenance provider may be prudent. Below are some basic
recommendations for the OWTS O&M.
OWTS HOUSEHOLD OPERATION
• Use of high efficiency water fixtures is recommended to decrease the hydraulic
load on the OWTS system.
• Fix plumbing leaks immediately as this may cause a hydraulic overload of the soil
absorption system.
• Do not irrigate the area on top of or directly upgradient of the soil absorption field
as this may cause a hydraulic overload.
• Do not dispose of household waste down household drains as this may clog or
damage OWTS components. Examples of household waste includes: dental floss,
cotton swabs, coffee grounds, paper towels, feminine products and many other
kitchen and bath items.
• Use of kitchen garbage disposals is not recommended. If a garbage disposal is
utilized, kitchen wastewater should be screened thoroughly. Many kitchen solids
are not decomposed in the septic tank and may cause increased tank pumping
frequency.
• Do not dispose of household chemicals, greases, oils, paints, hot tub water or
water softener backwash in household drains. A separate drywell, if feasible, may
be necessary for hot tub water or water softener backwash disposal.
• Limit the use of bleach as this may harm useful bacteria in the septic tank and soil
absorption system.
Job No 115 13011
-9-
• Liquid dishwasher and clothes washer detergent is recommended for households
served by an OWTS. Clay substances used as fillers in powder detergents may
result in clogging of the soils absorption system.
• The effluent in septic tanks can freeze during extended periods of non-use in cold
weather. We recommend that a tank heater be installed in this system to help
prevent freezing.
OWTS MAINTENANCE
• Inspect the septic tank, effluent filter and soil treatment area at least annually for
problems or signs of failure.
• The effluent filter should be cleaned annually by spray washing solids into the
first chamber of the septic tank.
• Septic tank should be pumped and cleaned every 3 to 5 years depending on use.
Longer pumping intervals may increase the amount of solids that reach the soil
STA, which may shorten the systems life span.
• Pumping of the septic tank should take place when the level of the sludge and
scum layers combined take up 25 to 33i'c of the capacity of the first chamber of
the tank.
OWTS CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION
The Garfield County Environmental Building Department requires that the designer of
the system provide an As -Built certification of the OWTS construction. We should be
provided with at least 48 hour notice prior to the installer needing the As -Built
inspections. Prior to issuance of our inspection letter, we require observation of all
system components prior to backfill. The number of site visits required for the inspection
will depend on the installer's construction schedule.
LIMITATIONS
We have conducted this design in accordance with generally accepted engineering
principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either expressed
Job No IIS 130H w , teh

or implied. The recommendations provided in this report are based on the site conditions,
profile pit evaluations, soil texture analysis percolation test results, the proposed
construction and our experience in the area. 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 so
that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We
are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the
project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during
construction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to
verify that the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design
changes may require additional analysis or modifications to our design.
It is our opinion that the designed location of the OWTS components does not violate any
setback requirements of the current Garfield County Regulations. Below is a table of
common minimum horizontal setbacks to OWTS components. Refer to the Garfield
County Regulations for a complete list of required setbacks. We recommend the OWTS
components be surveyed by a Professional Colorado Land Surveyor and verified by H -P
Geotech prior to the system permitting.
