CTL I Thompson, lnc. (CTL) has prepared this síte and soil evaluation and
on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) design for the residence and ac-
cessory dwelling unit (ADU) planned at 565 Faranhyll Ranch Road (Assessor's
Parcel Number 239510300133) in Garfield County, Colorado. The soil evatuation
is required by the Garfield County Public Health (GCPH) to characterize subsur-
face conditions where an OWTS will service a residential building. Our investiga-
tion and design are in accordance with the Garfield County On-Site Wastewater
Treatment System Regulations (GCOWTSR). This report should be presented to
GCPH with the application for the septic permit.
Proposed Construction
The site is located at 565 Faranhyll Ranch Road ín Garfield County, Colo-
rado. A vicinity map with the location of the site is included as Figure 1. A 4-bed-
room, single-family residence and a 1-bedroom ADU are planned for the prop-
erty. The buildings will utilize the same OWTS. An aerial photograph of existing
site conditions is shown on Figure 2. The approximate location of the proposed
building footprints are shown on Figure 3. Potable water will be supplied to the
buildings by an existing on-site water well at the location shown on Figure 3.
Site Description
On May 21,2021, a site evaluation was conducted by Ryan Barbone,
E.l.T., of CTL I Thompson, lnc. (CPOW soils class certified). The subject property
is an approximately 35.5-acre parcel. At the time of our site evaluation, an exist-
ing single-family residence was on the síte to the north of the proposed residence
and ADU. Single-family homes and flood-irrigated fields are adjacent to the prop-
erty.

The landscape position of the test site is designated LL, pursuant to the
EPA's Onsife Wastewater Treatmenf Sysfems Manual. Ground surface in the
area of the STA slopes down to the east at grades on the order of 8 to 12 per-
cent. Ground cover at the proposed soiltreatment area (STA) consisted of natu-
ral and cultivated grasses. Existing site conditions at the time of our site and soil
evaluation, as well as the locatíons of our profile pits are shown on Figure 2. Fea-
tures requiring minimum setback distances from the proposed OWTS are shown
on Figure 3. CTL should review plans, as they are developed, so that we can re-
vise our design, if required. No features requiring minimum setback distances
from the proposed owrs, as indicated in Table 7-1 of the GCowrsR, other
than those shown on Figure 3 were located or observed on the síte during our in-
vestigation, reconnaissance, or soilevaluation. A known well exists on thè sub-
ject property and is shown on Figure 3. Known wells on adjacent properties exist
beyond the minimum horizontal distances specified in Table 7-1. An OWTS sys-
tem on the property services the existing residence and will be deconstructed.
The new STA will be constructed near the existing STA.
Subsurface Conditions
Subsurface conditions pertinent to OWTS design were investigated by ob-
serving the excavation of two profile pits (P-1 and P-2) in the area of the pro-
posed STA. The pits were excavated wíth a trackhoe at the approximate loca-
tions shown on Figure 2. subsurface conditions exposed in P-1 and p-2 con-
sisted of approximately I inches of topsoil over 5 to 6 feet of silty clay loam un-
derlain by loam with more than 35 percent rock larger than 2mm (and more than
50 percent of the rock larger than 20mm) to the total explored depth of I feet.
Groundwater was not encountered in our profile pits at the time of excavation. No
mottling or redoximorphic features were observed in our profile pits. Graphic logs
of subsoils encountered in our profile pits are shown on Figure 4.
Two samples of the silty clay loam selected for gradation analysis con-
tained I and 12 percent sand, 63 and 59 percent silt, and 2g percent clay. one
sample of the loam selected for gradation analysis contained 26 percent rock
larger than 20mm and 4B percent rock larger than 2mm. The loam matrix con-
tained 44 percent sand, 41 percent silt, and '15 percent clay. Gradation test re-
sults are included as Figures 5 and 6. We judge a Soil Type 3A is appropriate for
the site based on Table 10-1 of the GCOWTSR. The loam soil classified as Soil
Type R2 based on Table 10-14 and is considered a limiting layer. A Long-term
Acceptance Rate (LTAR) of 0.3 galldaylft2 was determined for the site based on
Tables 10-1 in the GCOWTSR.
Recommendations
GCOWTSR requires an engineer to design the OWTS for Soil Type 3A as
specified in Table 10-1. ln our professional engineering opinion, and per Table
GREEN LINE ARCHITECTS
565 FARANHYLL RANCH ROAD
PROJECT NO. GS06572.000.1 32
2
ffi
'10-1 of the GCowrSR, the sTA should be designed for a maximum LTAR of 0.3
galldaylftz.
The minimum srA size for the owrs should accommodate a LTAR no
faster than 0.3 galldaylft2 of residential shength wastewater (Treatment Level 1).
The average design wastewater flow for a 4-bedroom residence and 1-bedroom
ADU (5-bedrooms total) is estimated at 825 gallons per day (gpd) based on Ta-
ble 6-1 of the GCOWTSR. Our STA recommendations are based on the following
criteria and formulae:
Treatment Level 1 (TL1) - Conventional Septic TanklPressure-Dosed/Trenches
Design Wastewater Flow (S-bedrooms total) = 825 gal/day
Long-term Acceptance Rate (SoilType 3A)= 0.3 gal/daylft2
Size Adjustment Factor (Chambers) = CI.7
Síze Adjustment Factor (Pressure-Dosed Trenches) - 0.8
Minimum Soil Treatment Area (Chambers * Trenches * Design floM LTAR) = 1,540 flz
Minimum Number of lnfiltrator Quick4 Plus Std. (12 ftz) Chambers (STA/12 ft2) = 129
Recommended Minimum Area = 1,584 ftz (132 chambers)
Wastewater discharged to the OWTS is expected to be typical residential
strength. Some fixtures, such as garbage disposals, washing machines, and wa-
ter treatment systems, can increase demand on the OWTS and additional flows
should be accounted for in thè capacity of the OWTS. Swimmíng pools and hot
tubs should not be drained into or onto the OWTS. lt would also be prudent to
oversize the septic tank and/or STA for enhanced performance and for future im-
provements to the residence. A minimum septic tank capacity of 1,500 gallons is
required for an OWTS servicing S-bedrooms. Our design will need to be revised
if future bedrooms or other items will result in an increase of flow or strength of
wastewater are planned.
Refer to Figures 7 through 14 Íor recommendations for OWTS compo-
nents. All components of the owTS shall meet or exceed the GCOWTSR. The
tank locations shown on Figure 3 are based on assumed accessibility. Locations
may need to be adjusted to maintain accessibility for pump trucks.
Our recommendations include the installation of an effluent pumping sys-
tem, effluent filter, air (vacuum) release valve, and automatic distributing valve
(ADV). The filter reduces the gross solids entering the STA, thereby prolonging
the life of the OWTS and enhancing treatment. lt is critical that the ADV and air
(vacuum) release valve be installed at the highest point in the system, so that the
transport line drains from the ADV to the pump tank and the headers drain from
the ADV to the STA. Details for the ADV are presented in Figures 11 and 12.

Wheeled traffic that can compact the soil and Ímpede percolation should
be avoided in the STA excavation. This report and information including planned
number of bedrooms and system options should be presented to the GCPH for
application of the OWTS permit.
Septic Tank Depths
There are several issues that can affect the depth of septic tank installa-
tion that the owner and installer should discuss before the final installation eleva-
tion is selected. Proposed elevations of finished floors, building sewer and grad-
ing elevations may not have been determined or available when this design was
prepared. Depending on the configuration of the proposed structure and site
grading, gravity flow from the house to the tank may or may not be feasible. ln
addition, some county septic tank requirements preclude deeply installed tanks.
We feel the installatíon depth of septic tanks should be no more than 2 feet from
the top of the tanks to the finished grade but can be up to 4 feet from the top of
tanks to finished grade if necessary. Tanks installed deeper than this amount
may be difficult to access, service and maintain, and may require additional rein-
forcement.
Instal lation Observations
GCPH should be given adequate notice to allow observation of the OWTS
príor to backfilling. The same recommendation applies to other specified stages
of construction. CTL should also be called to observe the various stages of con-
struction to verify substantial compliance with the design. We recommend that
CTL perform installation observations once approximately half of the STA has
been installed. GCPH requires a final inspection after completion of installation
before the system is backfilled.
Maintenance and Operation
An OWTS requires conscientious maintenance and operation to provide a
reasonable service life. The owner must understand that the OWTS does not
have the "unlimited" capacity of a municipal sewer system. The OWTS is sÍzed
for a limited hydraulic loading. Exceeding that loading on a continual basis can
harm the system and cause irreparable damage. Septic tanks should be checked
periodically for scum and sludge accumulation and pumped as necessary. Gen-
eral maintenance and operation consíderations for the OWTS are included in the
attached Exhibit A.
Limitations
Accepted industry standards, methods and state and/or county guidelines
were used to conduct this investigation. Our understanding of subsudace condi-
tions at the site is based on our profile pits. Subsurface conditions under the STA
GREEN LINE ARCHITECTS
565 FARANHYLL RANCH ROAD
PROJECT NO. GS06572.000-t 32

may vary from those observed in our profile pits. crl I Thompson should be
called to check for variations in subsurface conditions as excavations are made
for construction. We should be informed of any changes to the proposed location
or construction of the residence, as well as constraínts for locating the OWTS
system components.
This report should be presented to GCPH for application of the septic per-
mit. we recommend that an experienced installer, approved by GcpH, be en-
gaged for installation of the OWTS. Due to variables, such as construction meth-
ods, individual usage, maintenance habits, soil heterogeneity'and clímate, no
warranty expressed or implied Ís made as to the longevity or performance of theowrs. we encourage owrs owners to visit https://www.cpow.net/re-
sou rces/homeowner-resou rces for add itional resou rces and literatu re.
Due to the changing nature of onsite wastewater engineering standards
and practices, the information and recommendations provided in this report are
only valid for two years following the date of issue. Following that time, our office
should be contacted to provide updated recommendations and design criteria, as
appropriate.
We are available to discuss the contents of this letter. lf you have ques-
tions or need additional information, please call.

General
0renco's Automalic Diskìbuting Valve Assemblies are mechanically operaled
ancl sequenlially redirect the pump's llow to multiple zones or cells in a dis-
tribution field. Valve actuation is accomplishcd by a conrbination of pressure
and flor,',r. They allow the use of snraller horsepourer punlps on large sand
filters and drainfields. For example, a large comnrunity drainlield requiring
300 gpm (1 B.90Usec) can use a six-line valve assembly to reduce the
pump flon rate reqrli¡emenl to only 50 gpm (3.14Usec).

EXHIBIT A
ONSITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Maintenance that involves possible human contact with sewage materials should be con-
ducted by a qualified professional that is aware of, and has experience in dealing with
biologic hazards, and implementation of precautionary methods to reduce the risÈof ill-
ness or injury caused by potentially hazardous conditions.
Routine Maintenance
. Septic tanks should be checked every 2 years for liquid level, sludge and scum
accumulation and pumped as necessary. Septic tanks are typically pumped every
3 years. Pumping frequencies will vary depending on usage. Effluent screens
should be cleaned as needed and when the tank is pumped. Operational level of
septic tanks is when full, Levels lower than the outlet may indicate a leaky tank.
Non-routine Maintenance
Leaks from faucets, toilets and other plumbing that drains into the sewer should
be repaired before the STA has been damaged.
Backfill materials in trenches and excavations may settle over time. Areas that
have settled should be refilled, re-graded and re-vegetated to promote positive
surface drainage away from OWTS components.
Disposal of harsh chemicals and non-biodegradable items into the sewer should
be avoided.
Avoid septic tank additives! Some additives can damage your system: Under nor-
mal conditions human wastes contribute sufficient "biology" to maintain activity of
the system.

Avoid discarding garbage disposal grindings, fats and grease in the sewer
Liquid laundry detergents are preferred over powder detergents. some powder
laundry detergents contain fillers that may not completely dissolve and contribute
to the sludge or scum. Septic tanks and filters may require more frequent service
if powder detergents are used.
The surface and slopes of the STA should be seeded with a native{ype or drought
resistant vegetation cover to reduce erosion. Vegetation over the STA should be
kept mowed. Gardens should not be located over STAs.
Maintain a packet that includes the OWTS design report, maintenance records,
phone numbers of the installer and septic tank pumper and other paperuvork relat-
ing to the OWTS in a readily accessible location.
A-1
Other Considerations
The system is designed for a finite hydraulic load. Overloading the system with
frequent peak loads and continuous high loads can harm the system. Continued
high sewer volumes not accounted for in the design of this system may require
additional soil treatment area. Conventionally, the system is not intended to ac-
commodate hot tubs or spas.
Spread laundry loads through the week. Limit usage as much as possible or up-
grade the OWTS to accommodate additional flow.
Practice water conservation. lnstall water saving devices to reduce wastewater
volume.
The OWTS is designed for normal Colorado clímate of approximately 15 inches of
precipitation per year. lrrigation over the STA should be avoided or extremely lim-
ited. Watering over the STA wilf add to the hydraulic loading, which can adversely
affect the performance, and longevity of the OWTS.
Plumbing from underground irrigation systems should not be allowed within 5 feet
of the backfill of the STA.
Livestock and wheeled traffic or other activities that can compact the soil should
not be allowed over the STA.
Trees and shrubs should not be planted within the plant's root zone of the STA.
Trees should not be planted so that the STA would be shaded as the tree matures.
Consult with your local nursery for tree information.
Some water treatment systems produce significant amounts of "reject" water that
can increase hydraulic loading to the OWTS. The "reject" water is not considered
wastewater and does not need to be treated. Other uses for this water, such as
irrigation, should be considered before connecting the treatment system to the
sewer. The STA will need to be upgraded if significant amounts of "reject" water
are introduced into the system.
