Draw in your house, septic tank and system, detached garages and driveway. fi a change of location is necessary, you must submit a corrected drawing.. Engineered Systems will need a copy of soilevaluation/ perk rate and design for our records prior to final inspection. FEES: FEES ARE NOT REFUNDABLE. Payment is required at time of submittal.

When all components are in place, connected and ready to cover, request a final inspection by the County lnspector.. DO NOT backfill any part of the system prior to the inspection. . The initialfee covers the percolation test and one (1) inspection before cover up. Any additional percolation test will be charged at $150.00 each and additional inspections will be charged at $50.00 each. . Upon final approval, carefully cover the entire system. . Engineered Systems are inspected by the Engineer prior to backfill. A final sealed letter by the Engineer is required to be submitted to Garfield County. As built drawings are required. (Applicant's Copy) PERCOLATION TEST I NSTRUCTIONS The successful operation of your septic system depends on the rate the soil in which your leach field will be installed will accept water. IHlSilggEtIIgAL - lf instructions are not followed completely, technician may not do the perk test and you will be charge a $50.00 fee for 2nd visit. The rate of absorption is called the percolation rate and it determines the size of the leach field needed for a particular flow of sewage and in some cases even determines the feasibility of the installation of a septic tank and leach field system. PERCOLATION TEST MUST BE DONE AT THE GROUND DEPTH WHERE ABSORPTION WILL TAKE PLACE. STANDARD LEACH FIELDS ARE INSTALLED THREE (3) FEET DEEP, SO THE THREE (3) PERCOLATION HOLES ARE DUG FOUR (4) FEET DEEP, AT LEAST TWENTY (20) FEET APART, IN A TRIANGULAR SHAPE. THE PERCOLATION TEST rS DONE rN THE BOTTOM ONE (1) FOOT OF THE HOLE. Post Hole Bt!tll Backhoe Hole Iot) sFPs ffir d t1 ltr-llr¡\puÏtrLsg A posthole digger, auger or backhoe can be used to dig the percolation test holes. lf a back hoe is used, dig the backhoe hole 3 feet deep, with 2 steps or a ramp. Put a test hole 1 foot deep and I to 12 inches in diameter in the bottom. lnstallation of absorption areas (i.e. drywells) deeper than 3 feet require the permission of the Environmental Health Department. All dry wells shall be designed by an Engineer registered in the State of Colorado. Saturation with water will affect the percolation rate, and since the system will be expected to operate when the soil is saturated with water,M BE FILLEDWITHWATE LEAST 8 HOURS BEFORE THE TEST AND ALLOWED TO STAND. More water wiII bC NCCdEd tO perform the percolation test, so AT LEAST 5 GALLONS OF WATER PER HOLE SHOULD BE ON HAND WHEN THE TEST IS PERFORMED. AN 8 FOOT PROFILE HOLE IN THE LEACH FIELD AREA IS REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF DET WATER AND One soil profile hole shall be dug to provide observation of the soil profile of the area of the soil absorption system. The hole shall be prepared at least I feet deep. The hole may be terminated when ground water or bedrock is encountered. The hole shall be prepared in such a way as to provide identification of the soil profile 4 feet below the bottom of the soil absorption system. lf ground water is found in any perk or profile hole, an engineered system is required. Percolation rates fgg]g¡than 5 minutes per inch or Slgryelthan 60 minutes per inch will require an engineered system and/ or Board of Health approval. (Applicant's Copy) RECOMMENDED MINIMUM REOUIREMENTS FOR ONSITE WASTEWATER TREATEMENT SYSTEM lowrs) Before conshuction is started, the lnspector must be contacted for approval and detailed information concerning the proposed disposal system is needed. Higher standards than those which follow may be required in individual cases to assure attainment of the objective. Those objectives are to locate, construct and maintain onsitewastewatertreatmentsystems in such a mannerthat existing or contemplated water supplies will not become contaminated and so that sewage will not overflow the ground surface and result in a nuisance or health hazard, LIOUID CAPACITY TANK IGALLONSì Provide for use of nder automatic clothes washer and other water household A Dwelling on less than two acres, areas of high water tables, or areas with a percolation test rate faster than 1 inch in 5 minutes must have alternative sewage facilities, i.e., central collection, holding tanks, individual treatment, etc, EXEMPTION: Absorption areas may be allowed with percolation rates faster than 1 inch in 5 minutes provided the soil is a sandy texture and no water table problems are encountered. An Engineer is required. Slopes greater than 30% also require an Engineered System. Septic tank construction should be of concrete material that will resist deterioration and which can be made reasonably watertight. See code for septic tank specifications. lf the house sewer line is longer than 10 feet between house and septic tank, a clean-out Y should be installed outside as near as practical to the house_. Septic tanks should be inspected once a year and cleaned when necessary. Cleaning is recommended when space between the scum accumulation and sludge residue on the tank bottom is less than eighteen (18) inches. The Department recommends pumping a septic tank once every four (4) years, when a yearly inspection by the owner is not practical. Effluent screen is required in all new and replaced septic tanks, providing access to maintain effluent screen. a a a a a Number of Bedrooms Recommended Minimum Tank Gapacity 1,000 gallons3 or less 4 or less '1,250 gallons 250 qallonsFor each additional bedroom, add l.
