Home My WebLink AboutOWTS Installation Observations 05.23.2017 May 23, 2017 Project No. C1232 Dan and Ayla Cacho danandalyla@hotmail.com Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations 2168 CR 120 Garfield County, Colorado Permit Number SEPT-05-16-4228 Dan and Ayla, ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OW TS) on November 16, 2016 for the subject property. Sacred Ground Excavation installed the system. The system installation included a 2000-gallon, two-compartment Valley Precast concrete septic tank with an Orenco® ProPak pumping system and PF3005 pump in the second compartment of the septic tank. The floats were set to dose approximately 90 gallons each pump cycle (allowing for 25 gallons of drain back into the septic tank). The control panel is located within line of sight of the septic tank. Valley Precast performed start-up on the pumping system on May 23, 2017. A 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 pump line was installed from the pump to an Orenco® automatic distributing valve (ADV), model 6606. This pump line had a minimum 1% grade for proper drain back into the tank after each pump cycle. The ADV was placed a high point in the system and was placed in an insulated riser with access from grade. Effluent is pressure dosed through 1.5-inch diameter pipes to six rows of 16 ‘Quick 4’ Infiltrator® chambers, for a total of 96 chambers and 1152 square feet of infiltrative area. There was at least 6-feet of undisturbed soil between each trench. Effluent is pressure dosed to 1.5-inch diameter laterals, which were hung with zip ties from the underside of the chambers. Laterals have 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing up, with the exception of the first and last orifices facing down for drainage. The orifices were placed 3-feet on center. Each lateral ends in a 90 degree ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. Inspection ports were placed at the beginning and end of each trench. 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.
