OWTS Permit #: SEPT-6129

Lisa and Ryan,
On June 13, 2023, we visited the site of the Locke Residence under construction at 329
County Road 216 near Silt in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation
pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-7374. At the time of our site visit, the owner had installed the
new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new poly 1,500-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 only the septic tank. 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 14 Arc 36 chambers per trench (56 total chambers, 840 ft 2 total STA). Additionally, inspection
ports were present at each end of each trench. Photos were later sent depicting the correction
from a 90-degree bend in the sewer line to include two 45-degree bends, a filter handle
extension, and a riser on the distribution box bring its access to grade. In our opinion, this
system was installed in general conformance with Garfield County OWTS Regulations. No
further action or review from Garfield County Environmental Health is required regarding this
permit.
Thank you,
