Project No. 22-7-122
Subject: Certification of Onsite Wastewater Treatment System, Proposed Residence,
Amended Tract 43, Antlers Orchard, 533 Cattle Drive, Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Jesse:
A representative of Kumar & Associates observed the installation of the Onsite Wastewater
Treatment System (OWTS) for the residence at the subject site as required by the Garfield
County Environmental Health Department. Our observations and recommendations are
presented in this report. The services are supplemental to Kumar & Associates agreement for
professional services to you dated January 14, 2022.
We previously designed the OWTS for the residence as submitted in our report dated May 10,
2022, Project No. 22-7-122. The system was designed for three bedrooms. The OWTS was
installed by J Caliber Construction.
We performed our as-built evaluations on March 28, 2023. The OWTS components observed
included: sewer line, cleanout, septic tank, effluent line, distribution box (ADV) and soil
treatment area (STA), and the locations of these components. The installation and locations of
the system components were verified as shown on Figure 1. Pictures of the OWTS components
made during the site visit are included with this report. The distance locations to the septic tank
shown on Figure 1 were made by taping.
The proposed Valley Precast two-chamber, 1,000-gallon septic tank was changed to an Infiltrator
two-chamber, 1,060-gallon septic tank. The change is acceptable to us.
It is our opinion that the OWTS was installed in general conformance with the above referenced
design.
The observations and recommendations presented above are based on our site observations and
our experience in the area. We make no warranty either express or implied. Alterations to the
system or improper backfill and site grading could affect the operation and effectiveness of the
OWTS.
