Subsurface lnvestigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
4-Bedroom Residence
TBD CR 331
Garfield County, Colorado
Jose,
CBO lnc. performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater treatment system
(OWTS) design for the subject residence. The 39.862-acre property is located outside of Silt, in an area
where OWTSs and wells are necessary.
Legal Description: Section: 16 Township: 6 Range: 92 NESE EXCEPT A TR. AS DESC lN 685/951
Parcel lD: 2179-164-00-440
SITE CONDITIONS
The property is currently undeveloped. A 4-bedroom residence is proposed
The residence will be served by a private well on the property. The well is located over 350-feet to the
east of the proposed residence. The water line was not indícated on the site plan provided to us. The
water line cannot come within lO-feet of the septic tank or 2S-feet of the soil treatment area (STA).
The proposed soiltreatment area (STA) location has an approximate five percent slope to the northeast
The proposed area is vegetated with sage and native grasses.
There should be no traffic or staging of material over the future STA site to avoid compaction of soils
prior to construction of the STA.
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on September 27,2023 by digging two soil profile test pit excavations (Test
Pits). A visual and tactile soil analysis was completed by Carla Ostberg at the time of excavation.l
The materials encountered in Test Pit #1 consisted of light brown silt clay loam underlain by light brown silt
clay loam with cobbles 1 to 4-inches in diameter (less than 35%) to a maximum depth explored of 7.0-
feet. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered.
The materials encountered in Test Pit #2 consisted of light brown silt clay loam topsoil to a maximum depth
explored of 7.O-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered.
ICarla Ostberg holds a Certificate of Attendance and Examination from the CPOW Visual and Tactile
Evaluation of Soils Training.

A sample of the soil was taken from Test Pit #1 at 2-feet below grade. Soil structure grade was
moderate. The soilformed a ball and a riþbon 1 to 2-inches in length before breaking. Soil structure
shape was blocky and consistence was friable to firm. Soiltexture was more smooth than gritty.
The soil is consistent with Soil Type 3, Silt Clay Loam, with moderate structure grade. A long-term
acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.35 gallons per square foot will be used to design the STA.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Desiqn Calculations:
Average Design Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 3 Bedrooms + 75 GPD (4th Bedroom) = 525 GPD
LTAR = 0.35 GPD/SF
525 GPD / 0.35 GPD/SF = 1500 SF x 1.0 (gravity trenches) x 0.7 (chambers) = 1050 SF
The OWTS design is based on 4-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 525 GPD will be used
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation has been established as 100' (Finished
Floor). CBO lnc. should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with grade elevations of proposed
components during installation of the OWïS.
*Elevations are based upon standard OWTS installation practices. Component elevations may change during
installation due to site conditions. Minimum grade refers to piping between components.
The 4-inch SDR-35 sewer line exiting the residence must have a double-sweep clean out and a minimum
2% grade to the septic tank.
The system installation must include a minimum 1250-gallon, two-compartment septic tank with an
Orenco@ Biotube effluent filter on the outlet tee. A poly or concrete septic tank may be utilized. We have
provided specifications for a 1500-9allon, two-compartment lnfiltrator@ poly septic tank as our preferred
option. Risers must bring the manhole lids to grade for access. lf more than one riser is added to the
septic tank, an extension handle must be installed on the effluent filter.
Effluent will gravity flow to a distribution box, and then to five gravelless chamber trenches. The
distribution box must be accessible from grade and must have flow equalizers, or similar product,
installed on each outlet pipe in the distribution box to assure equal flow to each trench.

Page 5
Each trench will consist of 1B 'Quick 4' Standard Plus lnfiltrator@ chambers for a total of 90 chambers
and 1080 square feet of infiltrative area. There must be at least 4-feet of undisturbed soil between each
trench. lnspection ports must be installed at the beginning and end of each trench. Ports may be cut to
grade and placed in sprinkler boxes for access.
COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS
The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area.
GBO Inc. must approve alternative components prior to installation of the OWTS. Requests must
be submitted, in writing, to our office for approval prior to installation. Component technical data
sheets are available upon request.
Construction must be according to the jurisdiction's adopted On-Site Wastewater Treatment System
Regulations, the OWTS Permit, and this design.
PERMIT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
An OWTS Permit Application must be submitted to Garfield County Environmental Health Department.
n nmental-healt
Packet-Dec.-2019.pdf. lf the OWTS Permit Application will be submitted with a Building Permit
Application, it should be submitted directly to Garfield County Building Department.
All questions regarding permit submission can be directed to Garfield County Environmental Health
Department, 970-945-661 4 x81 50.
INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR
CBO lnc. expects that the installer be experienced and qualified to perform the scope of work outlined in this
design. The installer must review this design thoroughly and coordinate with our office in advance of
installation. Any additional conditions in this design or county permit must be completed and documented
prior to final approval of the OWTS installation. Communication between the installer and this office is
expected throughout the installation.
INSTALLATION OBSERVATIONS
CBO lnc. must view the OWTS during construction. The OWTS observation should be performed before
backfill, after placement of OWTS components. Septic tanks, distribution devices, pumps, dosing
siphons, and other plumbing, as applicable, must also be observed. CBO lnc. should be notified 48 hours
in advance to observe the installation.

ln an effort to improve the accuracy of the record drawing, we request that the installer provide a
sketch of the installation, including path of the sewer lines, water line installation (if applicable),
septic tank Iocation, STA location, and measurements from building corners or another fixed
objects on the property. This sketch is most easily provided on Sheet W2.0 of the OWTS Design
Packet. Photographs of the installation and final cover are also requested to supplement our installation
documentation.
REVEGETATION REQUIREMENTS
An adequate layer of good quality topsoil capable of supporting revegetation shall be placed over the entire
disturbed area of the OWTS installation. A mixture of native grass seed that has good soil stabilizing
characteristics (but without taproots), provides a maximum transpiration rate, and competes well with
successional species. No trees or shrubs, or any vegetation requiring regular irrigation shall be placed over
the STA. Until vegetation is reestablished, erosion and sediment control measures shall be implemented
and maintained on site. The owner of the OWTS shall be responsible for maintaining proper vegetation
cover.
OPERATION INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE
The property owner shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of each OWTS servicing the
property. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service contracts for manufactured units,
alternating STAs, and any other components needing maintenance.
Geo-fabrics or plastics should not be used over the STA. No heavy equipment, machinery, or materials
should be placed on the backfilled STA. Machines with tracks (not wheels) should be used during
construction of the STA for better weight distribution. Livestock should not graze on the STA. Plumbing
fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additionalwater is being discharged to OWTS. For example, a
running toilet or leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm a STA.
lf an effluent filter or screen has been installed in the OWTS, we recommend this filter or screen be cleaned
annually, or as needed. lf the OWTS consists of a pressurized pump system, we recommend the laterals be
flushed annually, or as needed.
The homeowner should pump the septic tank every two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of
solids in the tank. Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non-biodegradable materials should not
be placed into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in household drains. Loading from a water softener
should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the OWTS.
Mechanical room drains should not discharge into the OWTS. The OWTS is engineered for domestic waste
only.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES
lf design includes a pump, weep holes must be installed to allow pump lines to drain to minimize risk of
freezing. The pump shall have an audible and visual alarm notification in the event of excessively high-
water conditions and shall be connected to a control breaker separate from the high-water alarm breaker
and from any other control system circuits. The pump system shall have a switch so the pump can be
manually operated.
Excavation equipment must not drive in the excavation of the STA due to the potential to compact soil.
Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components to allow access to them from existing grade.
Backfill over the STA must be uniform and granular with no material greater than minus 3-inch.
Page 7
LIMITS:
The design is based on information submitted. lf soil condit¡ons encountered are different from conditions
described in report, CBO lnc. should be notified. All OWTS construction must be according to the county
regulations. Requirements not specified in this report must follow applicable county regulations. The
contractor should have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of
the county in which they are working. Licensing of Systems Contractors may be required by county
regulation.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
GBO lnc.
