Final Acceptance Letter
OWTS Permit #: SEPT -6116
July 28, 2020
Mr. Cardenas,
On July 24, 2020, we visited the site at Lot 29 of the Sun Meadows Estates Subdivision near
Rifle, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT -6116. At the time of
our site visit, the contractor had installed the cleanout between the house and a Norwesco poly two-
compartment, 1,500 -gallon septic tank, distribution box, and four gravelless chamber trenches consisting
of 12 ADS BioDiffuser chambers per trench (48 total chambers). The septic tank and distribution box
were installed level, with risers on site to provide access to grade. The contractor stated the risers would
be installed prior to backfill. An effluent filter was installed in the outlet tee of the septic tank. The original
design specified 60 Quick4 Infiltrator chambers total (12 ft2 per chamber, total STA area of 720 ftz).
Although fewer chambers were installed (48 vs. 60), the chambers that were installed, ADS Biodiffuser
chambers, provide the same area of STA specified in the design (15 ftz per chamber, total STA area of
720 ftz). Inspection ports were installed at each end of the trench. Chambers were installed at an
appropriate depth and level. In our opinion, this OWTS was installed in general conformance with Garfield
County OWTS Regulations. No further action or review from Garfield County Environmental Health is
required regarding this permit. An As -Built drawing of the system is not required, as the new system
components were installed in the same locations as the replaced components.
Thank you,
i
