Subject: Final Acceptance Letter
Septic tank Replacement
3125 County Road 241
New Castle, CO 81647
OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8527
March 1, 2024
Nelson,
A septic tank was installed at your residence without the proper Onsite Wastewater Treatment
System (OWTS) permit. For this reason, Garfield County Public Health staff were unable to
observe the installation of the replacement septic tank at 3125 County Road 241 near New
Castle in person. The installer and property owner provided information and photographs
documenting the installation of the replacement tank for the residence after applying for OWTS
Permit # SEPT-8527 and paying the appropriate fee. As indicated in the photographs, the
contractor had installed a new cleanout adjacent to the residence and a new 1,500-gallon two-
compartment San Luis Valley Precast septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee of the
tank. The septic tank is found on the approved list of septic tanks by the Colorado Department
of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and appeared to be installed level with access
brought to grade. In our opinion, this tank 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,
Edward R. “Ted” White, P.E.
