Drainage in the area of concern is approximately 1% to the west. A percolation test/soils evaluation was conducted on the property of reference on 05/18/05 by Tom A. Cronk, registered professional engineer (R.P.E.). The perc test was intended to provide subsurface design parameters for design of an individual sewage disposal system (ISDS) for the property. As based on results from this subsurface investigation, the following ISDS design has been prepared. Results from the 02/04/05 perc test/soils evaluation are attached for reference as Appendix A. The locations of the site investigation excavations are shown on the attached plot plan. 2.0 Development of Desizn Parameters A perc excavation trench was extended to a depth of 120" below ground surface (BGS). There was no evidence of ground water or high seasonal water table in the open excavation to a depth of 120" BGS. The soils evaluation indicates two distinct soil horizons underlie the site. A lithological description follows: depth (in.) description 0" - 24" sandy clay, light red to tan; blocky; friable 24" - 120" clayey sand with minor sandy clay, red to tan; friable As based on the perc test results (Appendix A) an average design perc rate of 25 min/in. is chosen for overall system sizing for subsurface discharge below a depth of 24". Page 2 of 8 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3.0 System Design A INFILTRATOR absorption trench is proposed for discharge of septic effluent at the site. Construction of the system will consist of excavating level trenches in the area comprising the absorption field. The initial excavation shall be continued to a depth of 48" (see absorption field cross-section). Following completion of the initial push -out, INFILTRATORS will be used to construct a septic effluent distribution system in the open excavations. The INFILTRATOR effluent distribution system will be installed in accordance with the "Infiltrator Technical Manual", available from Infiltrator Systems Inc., 123 Elm Street, Suite 12, Old Saybrook, Connecticut 06475. Adjacent INFILTRATORS shall be fastened with a minimum of four (4) 3/4" x #8 self -tapping sheet metal or bright brass deck screws to prevent movement and separation during backfilling. As shown in the Construction Detail, the bottom of the INFILTRATOR seepage trenches will be located at a depth of 48" below ground level. After the INFILTRATORS are installed, the absorption field will be covered with a soil cap. The soil cap will consist of approximately 36" (10" minimum required) of native soil mounded 5% to promote surface run off away from the absorption field. The installer should confirm the feasibility of gravity discharge of sewage effluent from the structure to the absorption field by field verification of assumed design parameters. Assumed design parameters with respect to gravity discharge include: • distance from exit of sewage pipe at foundation line to absorption field - 60' or less, • elevation of ground surface at entry to absorption field must be no more than 24" above the invert elevation of sewage pipe at exit from foundation line. If field measurements do not confirm these design assumptions, gravity discharge of septic effluent from the proposed structure can not be assured and a lift station may be required. Please contact the design engineer to address any design modifications necessary if these design assumptions are not upheld. The installer must also confirm the setbacks from property lines, building envelopes, and existing easements shown in the attached graphics are maintained. Additionally, any unknown utility lines, easements, or other adverse conditions disclosed during construction must maintain the required setbacks listed on page 5 of this document. The residence at the site is under construction and plumbing rough -in has been completed. To facilitate shorter plumbing runs, sewage discharge has been split into two sewer discharge lines. The kitchen facilities and a 3/4 utility bath are discharged to the south of the residence while the two full baths, single /, bath, and clothes washer are discharged to the north of the residence. It is estimated that 1/3 of the total sewage discharge is thus directed to the south of the home and 2/3 of the total sewage discharge is directed to the north of the home. As shown on the attached septic layout plan, a 1000 gallon septic tank will be installed at each of the sewage discharge lines (i.e., two tanks total). The two 1,000 gallon septic tanks will provide in excess of 30 hours retention time for sewage effluent from the two bedroom residence. A non -corrodible Orenco filter (model # FTW0444-36A) shall be installed at the final outlet Tee of each septic tank or in the effluent line between the septic tanks and the absorption fields to limit the size of solids and sludge Page 3 of 8 passing into the absorption fields. The filter must be accessible for cleaning and replacement from the ground surface. As discussed above, INFILTRATOR absorption trenches are proposed to discharge septic effluent to the underlying sub -soils. As shown in the attached graphics, the absorption trenches will consist of three (3) trenches 3' wide x 4' deep x 50' long with eight (8) standard H -I0 INFILTRATOR units each for a total of twenty four (24) H-10 INFILTRATORS. As discussed above, one (1) trench consisting of eight (8) INFILTRATORS (1/3 of total) will accept septic discharge from the south septic tank while two (2) trenches consisting of sixteen (16) INFILTRATORS (2/3 of total) will accept septic discharge from the north septic tank. A distribution box is required to provide equal distribution of septic effluent from the north septic tank to the absorption field. The distribution box must be placed on stable native soil or compacted structural fill to prevent settling and assure equal distribution of septic effluent. Both of the absorption fieldS will encompass a gross area of 450 square feet with an effective area (31 sq. ft. allowed arealJNFILTRATOR) of 744 sq. ft. Calculations and design parameters used to size the absorption field follow.

Page 4 of 8 4.0 Site Specific Installation/Operation Requirements The owner and system contractor shall be aware and comply with the following installation and system operation requirements. 4.1 Installation - Setbacks. Notifications. and Inspections • All installation activities shall be conducted in accordance with current Colorado Department of Health ISDS Regulations as well as anv relevant Garfield County regulations and requirements. If at any time during construction, subsurface site conditions are encountered which differ from the design parameters developed in Section 2.0. construction activities will stop and the design engineer will be contacted to address anv necessary design modifications. • Installation procedures including grade, location, setbacks, septic tank size, and absorption field size shall conform with the attached graphic details. Construction activities and system components will not encroach upon existing easements or utility corridors. A minimum of 6 ft of undisturbed soil shall be maintained between individual absorption elements and the septic tank and/or adjacent absorption elements. Minimum site specific setbacks for system components are: Source Septic Tank Absorption Field Building Sewer water line 10' 25' 10' domestic well 50' 100' 50' occupied bldng 5' 20' property lines 10' 10' pond/lake/stream 50' 50' irrigation ditch open 50' 50' lined/gated 10' 25' solid pipe 10' 10' • To avoid surface flow infiltration and saturation of the new absorption system, abandonment of irrigation in the vicinity of the disposal system is required. Diversion ditches necessary to divert surface flows around the new absorption bed must maintain the minimum setbacks listed above. • All sewer lines and effluent distribution piping shall be 4 inches in diameter and have glued joints. INFILTRATORS shall be placed level in the absorption field. All lines discharging sewage from the residence to the septic tank shall maintain fall of between 1/8 in. and 1/4 in. per foot and shall employ sweep 90's or 2-45's at all tums. Sewer lines from the dwelling to the septic tank and at least 6 ft from the septic tank outlet must meet minimum standard ASTM -3034. Sewer lines under driveways shall always meet minimum Schedule 40 PVC standards and shall be encased with corrugated metal pipe when covered with less than 24" of soil. Page 5 of 8 • The installer shall not place fill in the open excavation until inspected and approved by the design engineer. Additionally, the final cover shall not be placed on sewer lines, septic tank, or the absorption area until the system has been inspected and approved by the design engineer. Provide 48 hour notice for all required inspections. • Four inch clean outs shall be provided at maximum 100' intervals in all effluent lines exceeding 100' in length. • A non -corrodible Orenco filter (model # FTW0444-36A) shall be installed at the final outlet Tee of the septic tank or in the effluent line between the septic tank and the absorption field to limit the size of solids and sludge passing into the absorption field. The filter must be accessible for cleaning and replacement from the ground surface. • The distribution box shall be set level on undisturbed native soil or a structural pad (e.g., compacted fill or concrete) to prevent settling and promote uniform distribution of flow to the absorption field. A 45 degree bend shall be tumed down on the septic influent line to damp surge flows from the septic tank and promote equal distribution. • The effluent distribution system shall be constructed in accordance with the "Infiltrator Technical Manual" available from Infiltrator Systems Inc., 123 Elm Street, Suite 12, Old Saybrook, Connecticut 06475. • The surface cap shall consist of native soil mounded 5% over the absorption field to promote surface runoff. • The system contractor shall be aware of the potential for construction activities to reduce soil permeabilities at the site through compaction, smearing, and shearing. The following precautions and construction procedures should be employed during installation to minimize disturbance to native soils: i. Excavation should proceed only when the moisture content of the soil is below the plastic limit. If a sample of soil forms a rope instead of crumbling when rolled between the hands it is too wet and should be allowed to dry before excavation continues. ii. Excavation and backfill equipment should work from the surface where at all practical to avoid compaction of the soils at depth. iii. The bottom and sidewalls of the excavation should be left with a rough, open surface. The appearance should be that of broken or ripped soil as opposed to a sheared, smeared, or troweled surface. Any smoothed or smeared surfaces should be removed with a toothed rake or shallow ripper taking care to remove loose residues from the bottom of the trench by hand if necessary. iv. Care should be taken in placing fill materials in the excavation to avoid damaging the exposed soil surfaces. Page 6 of 8 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4.2 Operation - Maintenance and Inspections • The owner shall install a structural barrier if necessary and take precautions to prevent vehicular traffic, excessive surface watering, accidental flooding, or other activities in the vicinity of the absorption field which may compact, saturate, or otherwise alter the subsurface soil parameters used in designing the septic system. • The owner will plant and maintain grass or other shallow rooted cover crop to prevent erosion and promote evapotranspiration over the absorption field. • The owner will inspect and maintain the required mounding and drainage away from the absorption field to prevent saturation from precipitation and surface flows. • To mitigate the generation of preferential flow channels which may compromise the operation of the system, the owner will inspect and prevent intrusion of burrowing animals and deep rooted plants into the absorption field. • The septic effluent filter shall be inspected and cleaned as necessary every six (6) months. • The owner will conduct periodic maintenance of the septic system by removing accumulated sludge from the septic tank every 3-4 years to prevent clogging of the absorption field.

Drainage in the area of concern is approximately 1% to the west. A percolation test/soils evaluation was conducted on the property of reference on 05/18/05 by Tom A. Cronk, registered professional engineer (R.P.E.). A perc excavation trench was extended to a depth of 120" below ground surface (BGS). There was no evidence of ground water or high seasonal water table in the open excavation to a depth of 120" BGS. The soils evaluation indicates two distinct soil horizons underlie the site. A lithological description follows: death (in.) description 0" - 24" sandy clay, light red to tan; blocky; friable 24" - 120" clayey sand with minor sandy clay, red to tan; friable Perc holes were constructed in excavation A at a depth of 36 in., in excavation B at a depth of 90 in., in excavation C at a depth of 36 in., and in excavation Dat a depth of 54 in. The holes appeared to be well saturated at the time of the test. Results of the percolation test are shown in Table 1.
