OWTS Permit #: SEPT‐7124
March 22, 2024
Jim and Rick,
On January 19, and February 1, 2024, we visited the site of the Detterick Residence at 1708 County Road
121 near Carbondale in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS
Permit # SEPT‐7124. At the time of our site visit, the contractor had installed the new sewer line and
cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new concrete 2,000‐gallon two‐compartment septic tank with a
high‐head pump in the second compartment of the tank, the new pump line, the automatic distributing
valve, and the unlined sand filter constructed of 3‐feet of secondary sand media. The septic tank and
automatic distribution valve were installed level with access brought to grade. The sand filter appeared
to be constructed level and consisted of four distribution laterals with 1/8‐inch diameter orifices facing
up, with every fifth orifice facing down to allow for proper drainage. The unlined sand filter measured 12
feet wide by 105 feet long (1,260 ft2 total STA). Distribution laterals ended in a sweeping 90‐degree
bend with a ball valve to allow flushing of the laterals. Additionally, inspection ports were present at
each corner of the sand filter bed. We received an installation certification letter and as‐built drawing
from the design engineer on March 14, 2024. In our opinion, this system was installed in general
conformance with Garfield County OWTS Regulations.
Thank you,
