OWTS Permit #: SEPT-7393
October 10, 2023
Eric,
Due to scheduling conflicts, Garfield County Public Health personnel were not able to inspect the
installation of the OWTS AT 1800 Black Diamond Mine Road. However, on November 30, 2022, CBO
Inc., the OWTS designer, visited the site of the Conklin Residence under construction at 1800 Black
Diamond Mine Road near Glenwood Springs in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS
installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-7393. At the time of the site visit, the contractor had
installed the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new concrete 1,000-gallon two-
compartment septic tank with a pump in the second chamber, the new pump line, and the Soil Treatment
Area (STA) bed consisting of an unlined sand filter. The septic tank and manifold were installed level with
access to the tank brought to grade. The distribution laterals were installed level with 5/32-inch diameter
orifices spaced every 2.5-feet facing down. The bed was constructed of a minimum of 2 feet of sand filter
material and measured 12 feet by 38.5 feet (462 ft2 total STA). The distribution laterals ended in a 90-
degree bend facing up and a ball valve to facilitate flushing of the laterals. Additionally, inspection ports
were present at each corner of the bed. GCPH received an as-built drawing and a letter from the designer
certifying that the system was “generally installed according to specifications”. 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,
