Silt Mesa Excavating installed the system. Garfield County Permit 3205 documents the existing OWTS. There is an existing 1000 -gallon concrete septic tank and a 16' x 64' sand filter bed with 3 rows of 9 Standard Infiltrator® chambers. The design document notes a minimum of 4 -feet of sand filter material was placed in the over -excavation. The system was sized to accommodate 3 -bedrooms. While this OWTS is still functioning, there was a desire to add capacity to the soil treatment area (STA). An effluent filter was installed in the outlet tee of the existing septic tank. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed. A new ball valve was installed on the sewer pipe exiting the existing distribution box to allow one field to be "turned off" annually. A new distribution box, accessible from grade, was installed after the new ball valve. The new STA consists of three rows of 22 `Quick 4' Infiltrator® chambers, installed to the south of the existing STA. The existing grasses and vegetation were scraped and soils scarified for the Infiltrator® chambers to be placed just below existing grade to allow a sufficient (minimum 4 -feet) separation between the infiltrative area and groundwater. A minimum of 6 -feet of undisturbed soil was present between each trench. Inspection ports were placed at the beginning and end of each trench. The existing STA must rest for a minimum of 1 year before alternating. With any alternating system, the property owner is responsible for switching the alternating STAs on an annual basis and keeping records which document the alternating cycles. The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of workmanship and/or parts and materials. CBO, Inc. should be notified if changes are made to the OWTS in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the county regulations. LIMITS: Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer must have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent of the expertise of the installer, soil type, and weather conditions. Please call with questions.
