Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by CBO, Inc. and K‐Cronk Engineering dated April 1, 2024. Changes to the design and
permit must be approved by Garfield County Public Health and the designer prior to construction.
The new OWTS will serve an existing three‐bedroom residence and future 1‐ bedroom ADU and will
replace the existing OWTS on the property. The system will consist of the existing two‐compartment
1,250‐gallon septic tank at the residence and a new, single‐compartment 500‐gallon pump chamber
set level with access at grade with a high‐head pump in the pump chamber. Effluent will be pumped
to an Automatic Distributing Valve (ADV) set level with access at grade that will distribute effluent to
576 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of four gravelless chamber trenches, each trench consisting
of 12 Quick4 chambers per trench (48 Quick4 chambers total). Distribution laterals are to be 1 ½ inch
Schedule 40 PVC, with 5/32‐inch orifices 3‐feet on center and the laterals ending in 90‐degree bends
and flushing valves at the distal end of the laterals. Laterals are to be hung from the underside of the
chambers with zip‐ties. The orifices are to be facing upward except for the first and last orifices.
Inspection ports are to be installed at each end of each trench. Maintain all setbacks and elevations
as designed.
Contact the designer and Garfield County Public Health at least 48 hours prior to requesting final
inspection of the installed system prior to backfill. NO OWTS COMPONENT SHALL BE BACKFILLED
WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM GARFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE DESIGNER.

In consideration of the issuance of the permit, the applicant hereby agrees to comply with all
laws and regulations related to the zoning, location, construction, and erection of the proposed
OWTS and associated structures for which this permit is granted. The applicant further agrees
that if the above said regulations are not fully complied with in the zoning, location, erection,
and construction of the above described OWTS and structure, the permit may then be revoked
by notice from the Health Department and immediately become null and void.
The issuance of a permit and specifications of terms and conditions therein will not constitute
assumption of liability, nor create presumption that the local public health agency or its
employees may be liable for the failure or malfunctioning of any system. Permit issuance will
not constitute a certification that the system, the equipment used in the system, or any
component used for system operation will ensure continuous compliance with the provision of
the OWTS Act, the regulations adopted thereunder, or any terms and conditions of a permit.
Permit Approval
Plans and specifications for the proposed OWTS have been reviewed and are considered
satisfactory. Permission is hereby given to the property owner(s) to perform the work indicated
in accordance with the Garfield County OWTS Regulation. This Permit will expire 1 year from
the date of issuance unless construction on the system has commenced. An "as‐built" drawing
must be submitted and inspection of the system must be completed by GCPH before final
approval of the system will be issued.
