Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
4 Red Tail Lane
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT-05-16-4231
Kirk,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OW TS)
on September 30, October 1, and October 20, 2016 for the subject property. Rudd Construction installed
the system.
The existing system serving the existing 3-bedroom residence remains in use. The system installation
included a new 1000-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank with an effluent filter on the outlet tee
to serve the new additional dwelling unit (ADU). A new sewer line was run from the new septic tank to an
existing sewer line that was already installed by a previous owner under the driveway. This sewer line
runs into the existing 1000-gallon, 2-compartment septic tank that serves the 3-bedroom house. A new
Bull Run Valve was installed after the existing 1000-gallon septic tank.
The existing STA consists of approximately 675 square feet of infiltrative area in a chamber trench
configuration. Effluent is distributed by a distribution box. This distribution box was uncovered and
checked during construction of the new STA. The distribution box was brought to grade for future
access.
A new distribution box was installed to serve the new soil treatment area (STA). The new STA consists
of three rows of 19 ‘Quick 4’ Infiltrator® chambers, for a total area of 684 square feet of infiltrative area.
Trenches were separated by at least 6-feet of undisturbed soil. Inspection ports were installed at both
the beginning and end of each trench.
The property owner or occupant is responsible for keeping records on the frequency of
alternating each STA. We recommend rotating the valve on an annual basis. Records must be
available for review by Garfield County, if requested. We have provided a document to assist in
record keeping (enclosed).
The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of
workmanship and/or parts and materials. ALL SERVICE septic, LLC 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.
Sincerely,
