Final Acceptance Letter
OWTS Permit #: SEPT-6573
May 13, 2021
Carla and Steve,
On April 31, 2021, we visited the site at 129 Cains Lane near Carbondale in Garfield County,
Colorado to observe the Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) installation pursuant to OWTS
Permit # SEPT-6573. At the time of our site visit, the owner had installed a 1,500-gallon two compartment
poly septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee, the new sewer line connection between the
residence currently under construction and the new poly septic tank, the new sewer line connection
between the ADU and the new poly septic tank, the distribution box, and the six STA trenches. The tank
and distribution box were installed level, with access brought to grade. Three of the trenches consist of 19
‘Quick 4’ Standard Plus Infiltrator® chambers and three trenches consist of 6-inches of sand filter material
(washed sand meeting specifications for Secondary Sand) and 76-feet of GeoMat™ with 4-inch
perforated pipe for distribution. Chamber trenches and GeoMat™ trenches alternate. There was at least
4-feet of undisturbed soil between each trench. Inspection ports were installed at the beginning and end
of each trench. On May 12, 2021, we received a letter from the design engineer stating that the
installation was within compliance of Garfield County Regulations, and in general conformance with the
design. We accept this letter as proof that the installation of the new OWTS is in compliance with Garfield
County OWTS Regulations. No further action or review from Garfield County Environmental Health is
required regarding this permit.
Thank you,
