LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING ACCESS/OPERATIONS A. Location The property in question is located at 482 County Road 315, Town of Silt, Colorado. The property is a 35.207 acre tract of land. The site utilizes two accesses, both of them within the property ownership of Ken Sack or his Company entities. The first access is located 1,000 feet south of the intersection of Mamm Creek Road (CR 315) and Airport Road (CR 352). The second access is an additional 4,100 feet south on Mamm Creek Road past the first access (Eagle Springs Ranch Road). A Vicinity Map has been included as Exhibit #1. B. Description of Property and Access The proposed site is approximately 35.207 acres. The west side of the property abuts Mamm Creek Road and parcel number 2177-131-00-303. The south property line abuts parcel number 2179-184-00-720, east property line abuts parcel number 2179-181-00-691 (Eagle Springs Organic, LLC) and the north property line abuts parcel number 2179-181-00-124. The secondary access to the site is a 12 foot wide dirt driveway that averages 11.5% in grade. This access is only used by the 6 onsite employees during the summer months and is a gated access with a coded call box. The employees use Eagle Spring Ranch Road, the main access, during the winter months. Delivery trucks such as cattle haulers, water delivery trucks and secondary deliveries vehicles such as UPS or FedEx utilizes this main access year round. The secondary access is not a viable access for large truck delivers due to its grade, width and curve radius’s. The site contains three main buildings and several out buildings. The main buildings are: a modular home, occupied by the Ranch Manager; a large steel processing building with a small tent structure attached to it and a separate steel garage building. The large steel building is the location of the processing facility operations. This building houses six employees, all necessary machinery and a single bathroom for employee use only. C. Existing Onsite Operations The current processing operations/building size can employee up to 6 employees. Currently there are less than 6 employees. The slaughter house has the ability to process up to 4 cows a day or 10 sheep or 10 pigs or 10 goats a day. This is equivalent to 80 cows a month or 200 sheep or 200 pigs or 200 goats processed within a 20 work day month on average. These are maximum numbers per month for each animal type if that is the only type of animal being processed in the facility for that entire month. The animals cannot be overlapped in the processing facility due to USDA regulations on cross contamination. If an animal, such as a pig, sheep or goat, is started in the kill room then moved to the cooling room the first day, it could then be moved to the processing room the second day and processed. That one animal will hold up the facility from processing any other type of animal for a minimum of two days. The standard hanging time for a cow is generally 14 days, so if 4 cows are completed the first day in a month, then nothing but cows area allowed to come into the freezer facility for the next 14 days. The owner does have the ability to shorten the hang time for cows from 14 days to one day, or Page 4 j:/sdskproj/215/1004/word/482 CR 315 Site Utility Report until the cow is chilled appropriately, but this is not the type of animal supply customer that the owner is catering too with this facility. Pigs, sheep and goats will be chilled one day and moved onto the processing room or hauled down to the owners processing facility in Rifle. The site has a large fenced holding facility that can hold up to 40 animals directly outside of the steel processing building. There are two smaller holding facilities adjacent to the large pen where animals that the USDA inspector wants pulled out of the main group can be held and observed. All animals must pass the USDA inspectors visual inspection for disease prior to entering the kill room. Animals are then brought out of the large pen one at a time and moved into the killer room, where they are stunned/killed, drained, hung and cleaned of all unnecessary parts (solid waste). The animals are then graded by the USDA inspector in the kill room and moved to the cooling room to be brought down to the required temperature for shipping or processing. Cows will normally be held in the cool room for a 14 day period to cool and age. Pigs, goats and sheep can be moved out of the cooling room to the processing room or sent down to the Rifle processing facility as a whole animal in a day. If the animals are processed onsite they will be butchered into food grade sizes, wrapped and shipped out to their end destination. With a USDA certification this meat can now enter the public food stream. The owner could also choose to move the whole meat to his Rifle facility and process it at that location. D. Existing Onsite Utilities The site is powered by an overhead power line owned by Holy Cross Energy. The overhead power line runs parallel to the existing driveway to approximately ¾ the way up the existing main driveway alignment. It then splits in two directions, heading east and northeast. The northeast section of overhead power line supplies electricity to the existing home, steel garage and steel slaughter house building via transformer drops on the poles adjacent to the buildings. Power is fed from these transformer locations out to three separate electric meter locations on the site. The modular home on the property is supplied septic by a newly installed tank and field system that was designed by Garfield County staff. This system is made up of a 1,250 gallon plastic tank and 4 rows of infiltrators with 8 units for three rows and the 4th row is 9 units, for a total of 33 units. The steel building is currently running without a septic field. The floor drains within the building are being directed to an existing onsite cistern tank that is leaching wash water from the floor drains into the existing soils onsite. Once the Land Use application for the site is accepted by the County, two new OWTS tank/field systems will be installed. One system will provide septic for the processing building bathroom facility, the other will provide for the processing room floor and sink drains. The water supply to the home and steel building operation comes from three (3) - 2,000 gallon Darco modular potable water tanks located to the east on the adjacent property within a building/pump house structure. The water is pulled from the tanks via a Homesprings Page 5 j:/sdskproj/215/1004/word/482 CR 315 Site Utility Report Ultrafiltration pump made by GE, Model number UF211/UFC211. This pump is capable of providing 11gpm of flow at its maximum rate of flow, and 4.5 gpm at a continuous flow. This is equivalent to a standard municipal system flow rate of water. The system is controlled by a CentriPro pump controller Model number CB07412 as 230volts and a Grundfos PSI flow controller model number CU301 to control the pressure being sent through the pump. The system is currently set at 40-50psi of pressure, which is also equivalent to a standard pressure reducer valve on a residence within a municipal system. A 30 gallon pressure tank on the system helps keep pressure steady within the system. The main line supply out of the pump sends water to a manifold system attached to the pump house wall. These manifolds send water out to the steel building/modular home within the same mainline and a second mainline runs the chicken processing facility on the adjacent property. All supply lines are 1” purecore main lines. The water within the tanks is potable water that has is hauled by a certified potable water hauling service, generally this hauling is completed by the Thirsty Corporation with their certified truck and delivery system. Please see the Will Serve letter within the County Packet. Potable water will generally be purchased from the City of Rifle, Town of Silt or City of Glenwood Springs, whichever municipality is supplying domestic water at that time or by purchase price at the time. The amount of water utilized on the site has been attached as a Water Usage Spreadsheet, Exhibit #3. The water usage numbers have been supplied by Garfield County, OWTS design specifications and a comparison of water usage from a similar facility located in Durango, Colorado named Sunny Side Meats. This facility runs off of a municipal water system, but they have to dispose of water in an onsite OWTS system, which means that the owners are careful in the amount of water that they use so as not to inundate their septic tanks and fields with wasted water. The gas for the site is being supplied by Xcel energy as natural gas. Both the house and steel building have individual gas meters. The main gas line runs up the driveway/parking area alongside the house/steel building. The existing line sizes are not known at this time, but generally a small gas service can provide more than enough pressure and volume for an operation and home size such as existing currently. If any changes are made to the current building sizes, this may need to be reviewed. There are telephone and cable connections to the home and steel building for land line phone use via CenturyLink and cable via Comcast. Neither building is currently utilizing either system. II. PROPOSED SITE ACCESS, UTILITY SYSTEMS, SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL, PARKING, EMERGENCY SERVICES AND WEED MAPPING A. Proposed Access Improvements The main access to the site is from Mamm Creek Road, onto Eagle Springs Ranch Road and then north on private ranch roads to the main processing facility. The roadway from Mamm Creek Road to the Solar Panel farm located on Eagle Springs Organic property has been approved for fire access use by Orrin Moon at CRFR. This section of roadway has been Page 6 j:/sdskproj/215/1004/word/482 CR 315 Site Utility Report inspected for width and structure by High Country Engineering. HCE has measured the roadway width at 20’ plus and a 75,000lbs truck hauling water for the onsite well pads was utilized to test the road for deformation or pumping as the truck was rolled down the roadway. No pumping was observed during the process. This roadway is used daily by oil field haul trucks and is well maintained by those well pad owners. Eagle Spring Ranch Road has a stormwater ditch along the northern side of the road that has been filled in over the years with debris and siltation. This ditch system will need to be cleaned to allow the proper flow of storm water to the Mamm Creek Road storm water system prior to final acceptance of the roadway for use. The section of road in front of the Solar Panel Farm to the processing facility is currently a dirt two track roadway that will not carry the required fire truck loading nor meet the width and drainage requirements of a county road or as an all season roadway. This section of road will be upgrade to a 20’ wide all season road that can handle the weight of a 54,000lbs fire truck, meet minimum turn radiuses of the fire trucks and allow for property storm drainage along and passing under the roadway. This road must also meet County standards. The owner has agreed to upgrade this road section, approximately 2,900’ roadway, to meet all of these standards. HCE has attached roadway plan and profile design sheets within the Land Use packet to show that the existing roadway and proposed roadways will meet the required centerline slopes. Once the facility have been approved for USDA Certified processing a permit level grading and drainage design will be submitted to the county for a grading permit to construct the roadway. B. Proposed OWTS System Inspection/Maintenance There are two separate OWTS systems being designed for the slaughter house operations. The first system will be a standard gravity system with a septic tank in line and infiltrator chambers for a field. This system will serve the employee restroom and hand washing sink within the employee break room. Please review the attached OWTS design packet for sizing and design guidelines. The second OWTS system has been designed to capture the small particles and liquids created by the processing room operations. This system incorporates a MicroFast secondary water treatment system within the septic tank design. Please review the attached OWTS design packets for sizing and design guidelines. The MicroFast system will require yearly maintenance per the manufactures guidelines. A certified maintenance company will need to be contracted to oversee the Fast system on this yearly basis for the life of the system. Garfield County has guidelines in place that require this yearly contract to be reviewed by the County staff to make sure it remains in place and maintenance being completed. The OWTS system that is in place at Sunny Side Meats in Durango Colorado does not have a secondary treatment system installed. They instead have opted to incorporate a multi septic tank system to allow more time for particles to settle in each tank prior to being discharge to the field. Either design is acceptable by the state regulations. Page 7 j:/sdskproj/215/1004/word/482 CR 315 Site Utility Report The existing house has an updated OWTS system in-place; no changes are to be made. The site zoning does allow for animals to be raised on the property. The main pasture that grazing could occur is north of this processing facility. Site fencing will be added around the OWTS system fields to keep any future animals that may be grazing in this pasture from damaging the field chambers. C. Solid Waste Disposal The kill room operations produce solid wastes through the collection of heads, animal internal organs and skins. These solid waste items are collected in 50 gallon gut buggies that are located within the kill room and are filled and rolled to the side of the room while the animal is being finished processed in this location. On a high volume day this amount of solid waste is projected to be 5-10 cubic yards per day. These gut buggies are all hauled to a truck that makes a daily trip to the land fill so that bacteria does not have the ability to grow in the kill room. The kill room is also the location that the animals are drained of their blood which is gravity drained to a potable water tank located outside of the building via a PVC piping system. The owner uses a potable water tank to make sure that the tank is fully contained and is sturdy enough to handle the water and products being stored in it. The holding tank is located on a flatbed truck or a trailer exterior to the building that is used to remove the waste on a daily basis to the local landfill. The kill room is also washed and sanitized on a daily basis; this wash water is also passed through the PVC gravity piping system to the tank located outside. The piping on the exterior of the building needs to be removable so that the tank can be removed and contents disposed of appropriately. The 6” PVC pipe exiting the building will have a Fernco Couple attached to it with stainless steel bands. This coupler will attach to a removable section of pipe that will travel down grade to the tank location; it will have a 90 degree bend into the tank lid where it will attached to the tank with a second Fernco coupler with stainless steel bands. This will allow for a spill free connection that can be removed once the kill room cleaning has been completed. D. Onsite Parking The existing conditions on the site include the processing facility and a single family home. The single family home requires two off street parking spots to facilitate the residences. These two spots are directly outside of the steel garage structure located on the property just north of the home. There is a concrete sidewalk access back to the home from these spots. The processing facility itself is a 2,950SF building. It is anticipated that there will be up to 6 employees for the facility. There are currently 5 – 10’ x 20’ parking spaces available for employee parking and one handicapped spot. According to table 7-302 of the Garfield Land Use Code there is no code for the particular use of a building so it will be broken into two uses; Office Space and Manufacturing Establishment. The existing office space is approximately 250 SF, so we will account for a single parking space for this use. The remaining 2,700 SF of Manufacturing Establishment use would require another 3 spaces (1 per 1,000 SF of space). The onsite parking allows for 5 parking stalls and a separate handicapped Page 8 j:/sdskproj/215/1004/word/482 CR 315 Site Utility Report tall which meets the above calculated code required parking stalls. E. Water Tank Storage and Testing/Maintenance The operations at the site are limited to the availability of potable water. The site currently has 6,000 gallons of potable water supplied by 3 tanks and a pump system. The operations at a maximum capacity have the ability to use up to 1,130 gallons of water per day. The current owner does not see the facility every reaching this amount of usage, but for calculations we have assumed maximum capacity as our worst case scenario. This will allow for the existing systems tanks to be filled once every 5.3 days. The tanks currently have an alarm set at 3,00 gallons so that the onsite manager/master butcher is aware that the facility is half way through their available water supply and it is time to call for a delivery. The potable water system will need to meet the potable water testing standards of the State of Colorado and the USDA for potable water for a processing facility. This will mean that yearly flushing/sanitizing of the tanks per the manufactures recommendations is recommended and bi-yearly USDA testing for coliform will be required at the taps within the production facility. These tests are already being completed on a bi-yearly basis due to USDA Custom Exempt requirements, which the facility is allowed to operate under, requiring the same testing standards. All testing records are kept onsite for inspection by the County and the USDA inspector on an as-requested basis. The owner of the property is in early discussions with the City of Rifle to extend the existing water main that is located along Airport Road to Mamm Creek Road. This line supplies water to the Garfield County Airport and jail facilities. An extension to Mamm Creek Road would allow all of the potential customs along Airport Road to hook onto the water main and for a service to be brought up to this site along the secondary access road. These discussions will continue and the County will be brought into the conversation for clarity on the extension feasibility. The owner has ended these discussions with the City until after the County has approved the upgrade USDA facility within this application. F. Fire Water Pond Storage and Addressing The fire marshal for the governing Colorado River Fire Rescue has requested that 18,000 gallons of onsite fire water be available to his crews for fire suppression. CRFR has standard details for pond and tank holding facilities and a pond has been designed to these specifications adjacent to the processing facility. The pond will be filled utilizing the onsite wells with a float system to keep the required 5562’ top of water elevation. Please see site plans within the land use packet for design and location. The well will be augmented through the West Divide Water Conservancy District to allow for the 2 acre feet of evaporation that will occur during the year. The permit for this application has been attached as Exhibit #5.

Currently the addressing for the home and facility are off of Mamm Creek Road and along the secondary steeper access. G. Noxious Weed Mapping and Remediation Techniques The County Weed Manager has requested a weed map of the site and remediation techniques be provided for his review and approval. The owner of the property has elected to hold off on this expenditure until after the Land Use Application has been approved, with this as a condition of approval. A proposal for the weed mitigation work has already been received from Olsson Associates, Eric Petterson, and the work will commence upon approvals. III. CONCLUSIONS The overall site public utilities are adequate to handle the current site conditions. Upgrades to the OWTS system for the processing facility building operations will need to be constructed per the attached plans and specifications to bring that building up to County and State standards. No additional changes to the utility configurations or sizing are being suggested by this report. The site access and fire water holding facilities will be added or improved as discussed above to meet all County and CRFR requirements. The limited amount of stored potable water makes water usage at the site important to the onsite staff. The staff will order water deliveries prior to running low on potable water. If water is not available for delivery the site will be required to cease operations until water is available. The USDA inspector will not allow operations to continue if potable water is not available.

July 21, 2015 Project No. C1084 Eagle Springs Organic Ken Sack kensack@me.com Subsurface Investigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design Slaughterhouse (revised) 482 CR 315 Garfield County, Colorado Ken, ALL SERVICE septic, LLC performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) designs dated September 15, 2014, January 26, 2015, and June 17, 2015 for the subject property where a slaughterhouse is proposed. All previous design documents should be discarded are replaced with design documents dated July 21, 2015. The property is located outside of Rifle, in an area where OWTSs and wells are necessary. SITE CONDITIONS A commercial warehouse presently exists. A single-family residence, served by an existing OWTS, also exists on the property. The existing OWTS serving the single-family residence was not addressed in this design and was not inspected by this office. A Norwesco® poly septic tank was partially installed, but never connected to either structure. A well and cistern currently serve the property. These are located greater than 100-feet from the proposed soil treatment areas (STAs). An additional cistern, located on the site plan provided by High Country Engineering, is currently located within the proposed STA that will serve the butchering room and must be removed. Any ditches must be setback at least 50-feet from the proposed STAs or may be lined or placed in a culvert if the setback is not able to be met. No component of the proposed OWTSs can come within 10-feet of any property line. SUBSURFACE The subsurface was investigated on August 6, 2014 by digging two 8-foot soil profile test pit excavations (Test Pits) and taking a soil sample from approximately 3 to 3.5-feet below grade in Test Pit #1. A gradation analysis was run by HP Geotech and results are detailed in a report dated August 29, 2014, Job No 114 021R. The materials encountered in the Test Pit #1 consisted of brown, dense, moist, topsoil, underlain by light tan, moist, dense silty, clayey, sand to a maximum depth explored of 8.0-feet. This horizon had a blocky structure shape, strong structure grade, and firm consistence. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered. Page 2 The materials encountered in Test Pit #2 were consistent with those encountered with Test Pit #1, explored to a maximum depth of 7.0-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered. The gradation and hydrometer analysis performed by HP Geotech shows the soil consists of 0% gravel, 52% sand, 27% silt, and 21% clay. The USDA soil type is classified as Sandy Clay Loam. A long term acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.35 gallons per square foot will be used to design the OWTS, in accordance with Table 10-1 Soil Type 3 presented in the Garfield County On-Site Wastewater Treatment System Regulations, adopted April 14, 2014. Test Pits observed August 6, 2014 Test Pit #1 Test Pit #2 Page 3 DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS The plumbing from the commercial building will be diverted to three separate waste streams; (1) floor drains and plumbing associated with the kill room, (2) plumbing associated with restrooms and sinks for employee use outside of the kill and butchering rooms, and (3) floor drains and plumbing associated with the butchering room. (1) Kill Room Any floor drains or plumbing from the “kill room” must be collected in a vault and hauled, as needed. No OWTS has been designed for this portion of the slaughterhouse. (2) Employee Restroom OWTS Design of this OWTS is based on wastewater flow from an employee restroom with a toilet and lavatory. A utility sink will also be utilized. Three employees are anticipated. Wastewater Flow = Q = estimated 100-gallons Minimum tank size = 1000-gallons Sandy Clay Loam = 0.35 gallons/square foot 100 / 0.35 = 286 square feet 286 square feet x 1.0 (gravity trenches) x 0.7 (chambers) = 200 square feet The existing 1250-gallon Norwesco® poly, two-compartment septic tank may be utilized; however, installation of this septic tank and conditions of installation were not observed by this office. A new, minimum 1000-gallon, two-compartment septic tank may be considered. A clean-out must be installed on the new 4-inch diameter SDR 35 sewer pipe and must have a minimum 2% fall from the structure to the septic tank. Inlet and outlet tees must be installed in the septic tank, if not already existing. An effluent filter must be placed on the outlet tee of the septic tank. Backfill around the tank and risers must be completed, leaving manhole lids accessible from grade. Effluent will gravity flow from the septic tank with a minimum 1% fall to a distribution box, accessible from grade, and then to two rows of 10 ‘Quick 4’ Infiltrator® chambers for a total of 20 chambers and 240 square feet of infiltrative area. Trenches must be over-excavated 2-feet below the infiltrative area and re- compacted in 1-foot lifts. Inspection ports must be installed on the beginning and end of each trench. These may be cut to grade and covered with a valve box for access. (3) Butchering Room OWTS Design of this OWTS is based on wastewater flow from the floor drains and sink(s) butchering room. We strongly recommend screens on all floor drains. Use of quaternary ammonia is prohibited with this treatment system. We suggest using chlorine-based sanitizers. Page 4 Wastewater Flow = Q = estimated 300 GPD Minimum tank size = 1000-gallons Sandy Clay Loam = 0.35 gallons/square foot 300 / 0.35 = 857 SF x 0.8 (pressure dosed trenches) x 0.7 (chambers) = 480 SF A 1000-gallon, two-compartment septic tank with an Orenco® PF3005 timed dose pump in a Biotube pump vault will be installed in the second compartment. Timed dosing should be set to micro-dose 50 gallons per dose every 2 hours into the septic tank with the MicroFAST™ system. A 1500-gallon, two- compartment septic tank housing a 0.5 MicroFAST™ will follow the primary tank, followed by a 500- gallon dosing chamber with an Orenco® PF3005 demand dose pump in a Biotube pump vault. Floats should be set to dose approximately 95 gallons to the pressurized STA. Other pumps may be considered, but must be able to attain 6 gallons per minute and 10 feet of total dynamic head. Control panels for the pumps and MicroFAST™ must be located within line of sight of the septic tanks. The proposed treatment is designed to treat 400 mg/L Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) influent at 300 GPD. We recommend monitoring actual flows into the OWTS in addition to sampling the wastewater strength to assure the treatment sequence is appropriate for the wastewater exiting the butchering room. Effluent will be pressure dosed through a 1.25-inch diameter schedule 40 pipe to an Orenco® Model 6404 automatic distributing valve (ADV) and then to four gravelless chamber trenches consisting of 10 ‘Quick-4’ Infiltrator® chambers in each trench. The ADV must be located at a HIGHER elevation than the discharge pump and must be accessible from grade. The trenches must be over-excavated 2-feet below the infiltrative area and re-compacted in 1-foot lifts. Zip ties will be used to hang 1.25-inch laterals to the underside of the chambers. The 1.25-inch laterals will have 1/8-inch orifice holes facing UP (with the first and last holes facing down for drainage), 3-feet on centers. Each lateral must end in a 90 degree sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing in a valve box, accessible from grade. These may be cut to grade and covered with a valve box for access. STAs and OWTS components should be protected from any vehicle, equipment, or livestock traffic. Heavy equipment and livestock can cause damage to underground piping. The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area. Alternatives may be considered or recommended by contacting our office. Construction must be according to Garfield County On-Site Wastewater Treatment System Regulations, the OWTS 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 area 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 placed 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. Page 5 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 STAs, and any other components needing maintenance. Geo-fabrics or plastics should not be used over the STA. No heavy equipment, machinery, or materials should be placed on backfilled STA. Livestock should not graze on the absorption area. Plumbing fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additional water is being discharged to OWTS. For example, a running toilet or leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm a STA. 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. MicroFAST™ TREATMENT SYSTEM The burial depth of the tank should be 12 to 24 inches. A 110 or 220 volt, 20 amp dedicated breaker is required for the blower. The MicroFAST™ System must be installed by a qualified installer. The control panel should be mounted in ‘line of sight’ of the system. Two site visits are typical for a MicroFAST™ installation. The first visit is to install the MicroFAST™ unit and the second visit is the ‘start-up’ visit. An operation and maintenance contract is required for the MicroFAST™ treatment systems. ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES If design includes a pump, air release valves and weep holes must be installed to allow pump lines to drain to minimize risk of freezing. Excavation equipment must not drive in excavation of the STA due to the potential to compact soil. Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components to allow access to them from existing grade. Backfill over the STA must be uniform and granular with no material greater than minus 3-inch. 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 contractor should have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in which they are working. Licensing of Systems Contractors may be required by county regulation. Page 6 Please call with questions.
