As we discussed on the phone, we do not have records for a septic system for the detachedgarage on this property. We did locate the original septic permit for the res¡dence on the property (please see attachment to this email). We haveseveral questions related to the OWTS referenced in the letter by Sopris Engineering:1. Who designed the OWTS for the detached garage?2. Was the OWTS installed without applying for a permit? Or can the applicant provide a copy of the perm¡t for the detached garage OWTS?1 3. Was the subject OWTS designed for one bedroom or two?4. Was an As-Built drawing of the subject OWTS created?The answers to these questions will drive how the Environmental Health OWTS Program and the applicant need to proceed to ensure this OWTS isin compliance with County Regulations. Please contact us with questions.G"" Garfwtd Counq'b !¡tl,!¡,ilt,tttttEdward R.
