At the time of our January site visit, the contractor had installed the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new poly 1,250-gallon two-compartment septic tank, the new effluent line, multiple distribution boxes, and the Soil Treatment Area (two two- row rock and pipe beds). The Soil Treatment Area (STA) had been backfilled prior to our site visit. The septic tank and distribution boxes were installed level with access on the distribution boxes brought to grade. Access to the septic tank had not yet been brought to grade. An effluent filter had been installed in the outlet tee of the septic tank. Also, at the time of our January site visit, inspection ports were not present in the corners of each bed. These deficiencies were sent to the contractor via email. We were requested to revisit the site on August 4, 2023, to inspect the corrected deficiencies. At the time of our August site visit, the contractor had exposed portions of the STA. The materials in the STA met Regulatory standards for material construction, and the beds were level. Inspection ports were present at each corner of each bed. Access to the septic tank at grade was provided. We received an installation certification letter and as-built drawing from the designer on July 28, 2023. In our opinion, this system was installed in general conformance with Garfield County OWTS Regulations. Thank you, Edward R. “Ted” White, P.E.
