Subsurface Investigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
4 -Bedroom Residence
Lot 12, Callicotte Ranch
Garfield County, Colorado
Brad,
Project No. C 1043
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC performed a subsurface investigation and an onsite wastewater treatment
system (OWTS) design for the proposed residence located at Lot 12, Callicotte Ranch. The property
is located outside of Carbondale, in an area where OWTSs are necessary.
SITE CONDITIONS
A 4 -bedroom, single-family residence is proposed an the subject property. The residence will be
served by a community water system, with the water line entering the property from the east. A large
driveway circle will be located to the north of the proposed residence and the absorption area will be
Iocated inside of this circle.
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated by digging one 8 -foot profile pit and taking a soil sample from
approximately 2.5 -feet below grade. A gradation analysis and hydrometer analysis was run by HP
Geotech and results are detailed in a report dated July 31, 2013, Job No 113 064M.
The materials encountered in the profile pit consisted of 6 -inches of topsoil, underlain by dark brown,
loose, sandy loam to 2.5 -feet, underlain by tan, dense sandstone to a maximum depth explored of 8.0 -
feet. The tan sandstone breaks apart easily. There were some Targe rocks 1 to 2 -feet in diameter near
the bottom of the profile hole. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered. The gradation performed
by HP Geotech shows the soil consists of 17% gravel, 41% sand, 44% silt, and 8°'o clay. A long
term acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.65 gal/sq. ft will be used to design the OWTS.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
The OWTS design is based on 4 -bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 600 GPD will be
used. The installation must include a two-compartment, 1250 -gallon septic tank with an effluent filter
on the outlet. 4 -inch schedule 40 pipe should be used under the driveway, compacted well, with
blueboard insulation over the line to prevent freezing. Effluent will gravity flow to a distribution
box, baffled and accessible from grade. The absorption area will consist of four gravelless chamber
trenches, each with 18 `Quick 4' Infiltrator® chambers in each trench. There must be 6 -feet of
undisturbed soil between each trench. Tank and chamber alternatives may be considered and are
subject to engineer approval.
Construction must be according to Garfield County Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS)
Regulations, the ISDS Permit provided by Garfield County Building Department, and this design.
REVEGETATION REQUIREMENTS
An adequate layer of good quality topsoil capable of supporting revegetation shall be placed over the
entire disturbed are of the OWTS installation. A mixture of native grass seed that has good soil
stabilizing characteristics (but without taproots), provides a maximum transpiration rate, and competes
well with successional species. No trees or shrubs, or any vegetation requiring regular irritation shall be
plated over the area. Until vegetation is reestablished, erosion and sediment control measures shall be
implemented and maintained on site. The owner of the OWTS shall be responsible for maintaining
proper vegetation cover.
OPERATION INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE
The property owner shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of each OWTS servicing the
property. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service contracts for manufactured units,
alternating absorption systems, and any other components needing maintenance.
Geo -fabrics or plastics should not be used over the drain field. No heavy equipment, machinery, or
materials should be placed on backfilled drain field, Livestock should not graze on the drain field.
PIumbing fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additional water is being discharged to OWTS.
Page 3
For example, a running toilet or leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm
a drain field.
The homeowner should pump the septic tank every two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of
solids in the tank. Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non -biodegradable materials should
not be placed into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in household drains. Loading from a water
softener should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the
OWTS. Mechanical room drains should not discharge into the OWTS. The OWTS is engineered for
domestic waste only.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES
If design includes a pump, air release valves and weep holes should be installed to allow pump lines
to drain to minimize risk of freezing. Excavation equipment must not drive in excavation of drain
field due to the potential to compact soil. Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components
to allow access to them from existing grade. Precast concrete tanks and distribution boxes should be
used, unless plastic or fiberglass is required. Access to all tank compartments and distribution devices
is optimal.
INSTALLATION OBSERVATIONS
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC must view the OWTS during construction. The OWTS observation
should be performed before backfill, after placement of OWTS components. Septic tanks, distribution
devices, pumps, dosing siphons, and other plumbing, as applicable, must also be observed. ALL
SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified 48 hours in advance to observe the installation.
LIMITS:
The design is based on information submitted. If soil conditions encountered are different from
conditions described in report, ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified. All OWTS
construction must be according to the county regulations. Requirements not specified in this report
must follow applicable county regulations. The installer should have documented and demonstrated
knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in which they are working.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC

Dear Mrs. Ostberg:
As requested, Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. performed gradation and hydrometer
analysis on a sample delivered to our laboratory by you. The services were performed in
accordance with our agreement for professional engineering services to you, dated March
20, 2013.
Results of the gradation and hydrometer analysis performed on the sample are presented on
Figure 1. The USDA Soil Texture Classification is Loam.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call our office.
