Podmore Residence
Lot 1 Rapids on the Colorado
Silt, CO 81652
OWTS Permit #: SEPT-7716
December 27, 2022
Mike,
On November 21, 2022, we visited the site of the Podmore Residence under
construction at Lot 1, Rapids on the Colorado near Silt in Garfield County, Colorado to observe
the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-7716. At the time of our site visit, the
owner had installed the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new poly
1,000-gallon two-compartment septic tank, the new effluent line, the distribution box, and the
four gravelless chamber trenches. The septic tank and distribution box were installed level with
access brought to grade on the septic tank only. An effluent filter had been installed in the outlet
tee of the septic tank. The trenches were level, with 4-feet between the trenches. The trenches
consisted of 10 Infiltrator Arc 36 chambers per trench (40 total chambers, 600 ft 2 total STA).
Photos were later sent of inspection ports present at each end of each trench, distribution box
risers, effluent filter handle installed within 12 inches of grade, and the sewer line tee inside the
septic tank. In our opinion, this system was installed in general conformance with Garfield
County OWTS Regulations. Please submit an As-built drawing of the system when available.
No further action or review from Garfield County Environmental Health is required regarding this
permit.
Thank you,
