OWTS Permit #: SEPT-7569
October 2, 2023
Riley and Mackenzie,
Carla Ostberg of CBO, Inc. visited the site at 1024 County Road 112 near Carbondale in Garfield
County, Colorado on October 22, 2022 and September 9, 2023 to observe the OWTS installation
pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-7569. Garfield County Public Health was not contacted to observe the
installation of the OWTS. At the time of CBO’s site visit, the contractor had installed the new 1,500-gallon
concrete septic tank, the new high-head pump in the second compartment of the septic tank, the new
pump line, the automatic distributing valve (ADV), and the two unlined sand filter beds. The ADV was
installed level with access brought to grade at the high point of the system. The two unlined sand filter
beds that comprise the STA were 7 feet by 96 feet total (672 ft2). The beds consisted of 3 feet of sand
filter material, with the top two feet being above grade. Each bed had two distribution laterals constructed
of 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC with 5/32-inch orifices spaced every 3 feet facing down. The
distribution laterals were installed on GeoMat filter fabric placed directly on the sand. Each distribution
lateral ended in a sweeping 90-degree bend facing up with a ball valve to allow flushing of the laterals.
Additionally, inspection ports were present at each corner of each bed. Finally, we received a certification
letter from the designer (dated September 9, 2023) that stated the OWTS was installed in general
conformance with the permitted design. The letter included a pump start-up letter. 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,
