summary dated July 16th, 2021.
1. Project Narrative: The applicant seeks to build single family home on a lot (5.762 acres)
with a pre-existing dwelling unit that exceeds 1000 sf and is therefore deemed a
secondary dwelling unit. The 2028 sf dwelling unit was constructed by a previous owner
and is allowed under the Teller Springs subdivision. Each unit will have its own OSWT
system (see descriptive letter from Mountain Cross Engineering) and each unit will have
a tap on the community water system (see will serve letter from the HOA).
2. Proof of Ownership: see attached document
3. Neighboring Properties within 200’-0:

www.redhousearchitecture.com
5. Grading and Drainage Plan: The applicant requests a waiver from this requirement
based on the fact that the unit in question exists and likewise so has the grading and
drainage for a number of years predating the current owner. A grading and drainage plan
specific to the proposed construction (single family home) has been provided as part of
the permit submittal. The project size and use are compatible with the existing land
uses/neighboring properties and the complexity and impacts are extremely minimal.
Secondly, the waiver does not compromise a proper and complete review and
information is not material in demonstrating compliance with approval criteria.
6. Landscape Plan: The applicant requests a waiver from this requirement based on the fact
that the unit in question exists and likewise so has the landscaping (see attached photos)
for a number of years predating the current owner. The project size and use are
compatible with the existing land uses/neighboring properties and the complexity and
impacts are extremely minimal. Secondly, the waiver does not compromise a proper and
complete review and information is not material in demonstrating compliance with
approval criteria.
7. Impact Analysis: The applicant requests a waiver from this requirement based on the
fact that the unit in question exists and has minimal to no additional impacts on the
surrounding neighboring properties. The project size and use are compatible with the
existing land uses/neighboring properties and the complexity and impacts are extremely
minimal. Secondly, the waiver does not compromise a proper and complete review and
information is not material in demonstrating compliance with approval criteria.
8. Development Agreement: not applicable
9. Improvement Agreement: not applicable
10. Traffic Study: The applicant requests a waiver from this requirement based on the
application does not create a large amounts of additional of traffic – 5-6 trip per day, all
residential in nature with no commercial activity added to County roads no additional
impacts on the surrounding neighboring properties. The project size and use are
compatible with the existing land uses/neighboring properties and the complexity and
impacts are extremely minimal. Secondly, the waiver does not compromise a proper and
complete review and information is not material in demonstrating compliance with
approval criteria.

www.redhousearchitecture.com
13. Article 7 Standards: The project complies with Article 7 standards of the Garfield
County Land Use code. The nature, scale and intensity of the secondary unit is
compatible with all of the surrounding uses as it is residential in nature and is a use found
in the surrounding properties of the Teller Springs subdivision. There are adequate
public and private utilities for all aspects of the secondary unit (water, OWTS, electric,
gas, etc.). There are existing, safe and adequate subdivision streets and an existing
driveway to access the unit. The unit itself does not create a large amount of traffic – 5-6
trip per day, all residential in nature with no commercial activity added to County roads.
There are no natural and geologic hazards to the subject property that require mitigation.
There is no Land Use change so all resource protection standards from Section 7-210 are
not applicable to this application. All existing wildlife protections remain in place and
unchanged by this application. All setbacks to waterbodies remain intact and unchanged
by this application. All existing drainage and storm water runoff will remain unchanged
by this application. The exiting unit is accompanied by an existing Garage sized to house
a minimum of 3 vehicles. The existing landscaping surrounding the secondary unit
includes 6 Cottonwoods, 2 ornamental trees and an Evergreen to the west of the unit, 8
Cottonwoods and 8 Evergreen trees to the east and 4 Aspens to the north (see attached
photos). There is ample snow storage in all areas surrounding the subject unit (see site
plan). The floor area of the secondary dwelling unit does not exceed the maximum of
3000 sf from Section 7-701 B and the 5.762 acre lot meets the 2 acre minimum standard
for lot size. There will be no commercial, industrial or multi-family uses associated with
the proposed secondary unit.
Please let us know if you need any further information.

RE: McCarty Residence, 280 Lariat Lane, Garfield County, CO – OWTS Report
Dear Bruce:
The purpose of this correspondence is to inform you about the onsite wastewater treatment system
(OWTS) designed for the construction of the McCarty Residence. The project proposes to
construct a new residence. An existing residence exists on the site with its own OWTS. No
modification is proposed to that residence or system. The project is located in Garfield County at
280 Lariat Lane. The main and upper floors of the residence will be a gravity system to a
conventional septic tank where a pump will pressure dose to a leach field comprised of a sand
filter. The plumbing of the lower level will need a sewer ejector pump to lift into the gravity
system. The residence will be served by an existing well. The OWTS is not within a 100-year
flood plain boundary. There are practical constraints that you should be aware of when considering
the proper design, construction, and operation.
Subsurface
The soil was determined to be R0 soils with an LTAR value approximated as 0.80 gallons per day
per square foot (GPD/sq.ft.) based on using secondary sand media and a soil evaluation performed
by Kumar and Associates. A profile hole was excavated and an inspection revealed that no
bedrock or high groundwater table is within an 8’ depth of the leaching area. A copy of the soils
report is attached.
Design Calculations
The residence is proposed to be 5 bedrooms. Using Garfield County Table 6-1 for a 5-bedroom
residence, this yields 600 gallons per day (GPD) total. The design calculations for sizing of the
septic system and the leach field follow:
• McCarty Residence: 5 bedrooms = 600 GPD
• Based on soil evaluation and sand media, LTAR = 0.80 GPD/sq.ft.
• Minimum absorption area = 600 GPD / 0.80 = 750 sq. ft.
• No reductions are allowed for rocky soils.
• Required septic tank volume = 1,500 gallons per Garfield County Table 9-1
• Dosing frequency = 4 doses per day; dose volume = 600 GPD / 4 doses = 150 gal./dose
• Pump(s) should provide 30 gpm at 35’ of Total Dynamic Head
• PVC lateral supply should be Schedule 40, 1-1/2” in diameter.
• PVC lateral distribution pipes should be Schedule 40, 1” in diameter.
• Each lateral pipe should have ten ¼” diameter holes drilled in the lateral at 6’ spacing with
the first hole located at 51” from the start of the bed.

The component manufacturers are typical for the area. Alternatives may be considered by
contacting this office. Construction must be in accordance with the specifications of Garfield
County Environmental Health, the OWTS permit, and this design.
Topsoil should be placed over the OWTS and planted with native grasses. No large vegetation
and/or plants with taproots should be planted over the absorption area nor grasses that require
excessive irrigation. Calculations are attached.
Setbacks
The location for the septic and dosing tanks are limited by setback requirements per Garfield
County and the State of Colorado. These include:
• 50’ FROM WELL
• 50’ FROM WATER BODY
• 10’ FROM WATER SUPPLY LINE
• 10’ FROM PROPERTY LINE
• 10’ FROM LINED POND, DITCH, OR STREAM
• 10’ FROM CREST OF BANK
• 5’ FROM BUILDING WITH BASEMENT
• 5’ FROM LEACH FIELD
The leach field setback requirements are:
• 100’ FROM WELL
• 50’ FROM WATER BODY
• 25’ FROM WATER SUPPLY LINE
• 25’ FROM CREST OF BANK
• 20’ FROM BUILDING WITH BASEMENT
• 10’ FROM PROPERTY LINE
• 10’ FROM LINED POND, DITCH, OR STREAM
• 5’ FROM SEPTIC TANK
The setback requirements deal primarily with buildings and potential contamination from the
septic tank, dosing tank, and leach field to either culinary water or surface water. These setbacks
have been included on the plans for reference.
There is an existing waterline that will need to be crossed. The pressurized sewer line will need
to be encased for 25’ each side of the crossing. Contractor will need to pothole the water line to
determine its location so that the encasement can be centered on the water line.
Operation Information and Maintenance
The Owner will need to be responsible for the operation and management of the OWTS. Geo-
fabrics or plastics should not be used over the absorption area. No heavy equipment, parking of
machinery, or materials should be placed on the absorption area. Livestock should not graze on

the absorption area. Plumbing fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additional water is
being discharged to OWTS; for example, running toilets or leaky faucets can discharge hundreds
of gallons of water a day and harm the absorption area.
Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non-biodegradable materials should not be placed
into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in drains and grease traps should be installed
upstream of the septic tank but downstream from any kitchen. Loading from a water softener
should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the OWTS.
The OWTS is engineered for domestic waste only.
The Owner will likely need to contract with a septic system cleaner to clean the septic tank every
two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of solids in the tank. The standards of
performance for the septic system cleaner are recommended to be the following, at a minimum:
1. The Systems Cleaner shall be licensed.
2. The Systems Cleaner, when cleaning a septic tank, shall remove the liquid, sludge, and
scum, leaving no more than three (3) inches depth of sewage in a septic tank.
3. The Systems Cleaner shall maintain his equipment so as to ensure that no spillage of
sewage will occur during transportation, and that its employees are not subject to undue
health hazards.
4. The Systems Cleaner shall dispose of the collected sewage only at a designated site
recognized by the Board of Health.
Construction Observation
Prior to being backfilled, the construction of the OWTS and all of the components will need to be
observed by representatives of Mountain Cross Engineering, Inc.
The conclusions and opinions that are expressed above are based on the information available at
the time of preparation of this report. Any additional information presented afterward may require
that these opinions and the design be modified.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide this report. Feel free to call if you have any questions,
concerns, or comments.
Sincerely,
Mountain Cross Engineering, Inc.

from Fig F, using 8.27 ft of friction head per 100' of 1-1/2" plastic pipe = 14.2 head loss @ 30 gpm
from Fig F, using 3.3 ft of friction head per 100' of 1" plastic pipe = 8.6 head loss @ 7.5 gpm
Plus operating head at end 5.0 feet
Dynamic Head (TDH)35.2 system condition use TDH of 35 feet
Per Table 7-13 in OWTS Design Manual, 1/4 " dia. orifice @ 1' of Head yields 0.75 gpm
4 Laterals 10.0 orifices per lateral 30 gpm
Step 5: Velocity verification
30 gpm in 1.5 inch pipe
0.012 = area
0.067 = flow in cfs
5.447 = velocity in feet per second, must be greater than 2.0 feet per second
but less than 10 feet per second
7.5 gpm in 1 inch pipe
0.005 = area
0.017 = flow in cfs
3.064 = velocity in feet per second
Step 6: Pipe Volume & Drain Back
assume only drainback from manifold
1.5 inch pipe
0.012 = cross sectional area
107.4 = feet in length
1.318 = cubic feet
9.86 = gallons
1.26 = inches of drainback into dosing tank
