Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
156 Meadow Lane
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT-04-18-5230
Bob,
Project No. C1374
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS)
on May 15 & 18, 2018 for the subject property. Sacred Ground Excavation installed the system.
The existing septic tank was pumped and the top, sides and bottom crushed and the remaining void filled
with onsite soils. The existing soil treatment area (STA) was abandoned in place. A portion of the STA
was encountered during excavation of the new STA.
Prior to construction of the OWTS, one 8-foot deep soil profile pit (Test Pit) was excavated to determine soil
type and verify soil type. No restricting conditions such as groundwater or bedrock were encountered. Soils
below 3-feet were found to have greater than 50% rock and therefore are classified as Soil Type 0. With this
verification, no changes to the proposed design were necessary.
The exiting cast iron sewer line from the residence was replaced and a double sweep clean out was
installed. The system installation included a 1500-gallon, two -compartment concrete Valley Precast
septic tank with an Orenco® Biotube Pump Vault and an Orenco® PF5005 pump in the second
compartment of the septic tank. The floats were set to dose approximately 80 gallons each pump cycle,
allowing approximately 6 gallons of drain back after each pump cycle. The control panel for the pump is
located within line of sight of the septic tank. Valley Precast out of Buena Vista performed start-up of the
pumping system.
Effluent is pressure dosed through a 1.5-inch diameter pump line to an over -excavated, 12' x 44' unlined
sand filter with a minimum of 3-feet of sand filter material. Pipes used to disperse the effluent were
surrounded by washed coarse screened gravel. The manifold was 1.5-inches in diameter. Laterals were
1.5-inches in diameter with 5/32-inch diameter orifice holes facing down, spaced 2-feet on center. Orenco®
Orifice Shields were installed under the orifices. Laterals were separated by 3-feet. Each 1.5-inch diameter
lateral ends in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. A soil separation fabric was placed
over the gravel layer followed by approximately 1-foot of topsoil.
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,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC

Do Your Part, Be SepticSmart:
The Do's and Don'ts of Your Septic System
Learn these simple steps to protect your home, health, environment and property value:
septicsmart
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Do:
• Have your system inspected (in general) every three years by a licensed contractor
and have the tank pumped, when necessary, generally every three to five years.
Don't:
• Pour cooking grease or oil down the
sink or toilet.
• Rinse coffee grounds into the sink.
• Pour household chemicals down the
sink or flush them.
Do:
• Eliminate or limit the use of a garbage
disposal.
• Properly dispose of coffee grounds a
food.
• Put grease in a container to harden
before discarding in the trash.
Don't:
• Flush non -degradable products or
chemicals, such as feminine hygiene
products, condoms, dental floss,
diapers, cigarette butts, cat litter, paper
towels, pharmaceuticals.
Do:
• Dispose of these items in the trash can!
Don't:
• Park or drive on your drainfield. The
weight can damage the drain lines.
• Plant trees or shrubs too close to your
drainfield, roots can grow into your
system and clog it.
Do:
• Consult a septic service professional to
advise you of the proper distance for
planting trees and shrubs, depending on
your septic tank location.
Don't
• Concentrate your water use by using
your dishwasher, shower, washing
machine, and toilet at the same time.
All that extra water can really strain
your septic system.
Do:
• Stagger the use of water -generating
appliances. This can be helpful
especially if your system has not been
pumped in a long time.
• Become more water efficient by fixing
plumbing leaks and consider installing
bathroom and kitchen faucet aerators
and water -efficient products.
