Ryan Ivy installed the system. The OWTS design is based on 2-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 300 GPD was used. A ditch runs to the south of the Barn. We verified the ditch is greater than 50-feet from the soil treatment area (STA). The 4-inch diameter Schedule 80 sewer line exiting the Barn had a double-sweep clean out and a minimum 2% grade to the septic tank. The system installation included a 1000-gallon, two-compartment Norwesco® poly septic tank with an effluent filter on the outlet tee. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed. Risers bring the manhole lids to grade for access. The septic tank will be fenced or otherwise protected from traffic. Effluent gravity flows to a distribution box, and then to three gravelless chamber trenches. The distribution box was accessible from grade with flow equalizers, installed on each outlet pipe in the distribution box to assure equal flow to each trench. Each trench consists of 16 ‘ADS’ ARC 36 chambers for a total of 720 square feet of infiltrative area. There was at least 4-feet of undisturbed soil between each trench. Inspection ports were installed at the beginning and end of each trench. Ports may be cut to grade and placed in sprinkler boxes for access. The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of workmanship and/or parts and materials. CBO Inc. should be notified if changes are made to the OWTS in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the county regulations. LIMITS: Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer must have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent on the expertise of the installer, soil type, and weather conditions. 3-29-2023 Please call with questions. Sincerely, CBO Inc.

At the time of our site visit, the contractor had installed the new sewer line, the new cleanout adjacent to the building, a new 1,000-gallon two-compartment septic tank with a filter in the effluent tee, distribution box, and two of the three chamber trenches. The contractor submitted photos to Garfield County showing the final trench installation. The septic tank and distribution box were installed level with access brought to grade. The chamber trenches were level, and each consisted of 20 Quick4 chambers for 60 total chambers (720 ft2). Additionally, inspection ports were present at each end of each trench. In our opinion, this system was installed in general conformance with Garfield County OWTS Regulations.
