Subsurface lnvestigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
3-Bedroom Residence
6501 CR 170
Garfield County, Colorado
Jesse,
CBO lnc. performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater treatment system
(OWTS) design forthe subject residence. The 10.239-acre property is located outside of Carbondale, in
an area where OWTSs and wells are necessary.
Legal Description: Section: 17 Township: 7 Range: 87 A TR lN THE SWNW 10.24 ACRES
Parcel lD: 2391-172-00-014
SITE CONDITIONS
The properiy is currently undeveloped. A 3-bedroom residence is proposed
The residence will be served by a private well on ihe property" The well is located to the southwest of ihe
residence. The well is located greater than S0-feet from the proposed septic tank and greater than 100-
feet from the proposed soiltreatment area (STA).
The proposed soiltreatment area (STA) location has an approximate fifteen percent slope to the
southwest. 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 soills
prior to construclion of the STA.
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on May 13,2024 by digging three 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 dark brown clay loam topsoil to 3-feet, underlain by'
light brown calcareous clay matrix to a maximum depth explored of 8.O-feet. No bedrock or groundwater
was encountered.

Evaluation of Soils Training.

The materials encountered in Test Ph #2 consisted of dark brown clay loam topsoi! to 3.0-feet, underlain by
greenish gray clay to a maximum depth explored of 8.O-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was
encountered.
The materials encountered in Test Pit #3 consisted of dark brown clay loam topsoil to 2.S-fee| underlain by
light brown calcareous clay matrix to a maximum depth explored of 8.O-feet. No bedrock or groundwater
was encountered.
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 ribbon 1 to 2-inches in length before breaking. Soil structure
shape was blocky and consistence was friable. Soiltexture was both gritty and smooth.
A sample of the soil was taken from Test Pit #1 at 4-feet below grade. Soil structure grade was
moderate. The soilformed a balland a ribbon less than 1-inch in length before breaking. Soil structure
shape was blocky and consistence was friable. Soil texture was more gritty than smooth.
We are proposing the STA to the north of Test Pit #2 in order to avoid those soils. The infiltrative area
will be placed in the calcareous clay matrix horizon, below the topsoil.
The soil is consistentwith SoilType2 with moderate structure grade. We are sizing slightly more
conservatively on Soil Type 2A. A long-term acceptance rate TLTAR) of 0.5 gallons per square foot
will be used to design the STA.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Design Calculations:
Average Design Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 3 Bedrooms = 450 GPD
LTAR = 0.5 GPDISF
450 cPD i 0.5 GPD/SF = 900 SF x 1.0 (gravity trenches) x 0.7 {chambers; = 630 SF
Page 5
The OWTS design is based on 3-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 450 GPD will be used.
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation at grade 7194' has been esiablished as
100' (Finished Floor). CBO lnc. should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with grade
elevations of proposed components during installation of the OWTS.
"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
2o/o grade to the sepiic tank.
The system installation must include a 1000-gallon, two-compariment lnfiltrator@ poly septic tank with an
Orenco@ Biotube effluent filter on the outlet tee. Any state-approved concrete or poly septic tank may be
substituted. Risers must bring ihe 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 four 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.
Each trench will consist of 14 'Quick 4' Standard Plus lnfiltrator@ chambers for a total of 56 chambers
and 672 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.
COMPON ENT SPECIFICATIONS
The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area.
CBO lnc. must approve alternative components prior to installation of the OWTS. Requests must
be submifted, 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.
Packet-Dec.-2019.pdf. tf 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.
[n 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 location, STA location, and measurements from building corners or another fixed
objects on the prope*y. 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 naiive 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 vegetaiion requiring regular inigation 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 flre 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,
altemating 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 betler weight distribution. Livestock should not graze on the STA. Plumbing
PageT
fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additional water 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 maierials 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 the 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 ihe 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.
Excavaiion equipment must not drive in the excavation of the STA due to the potentialto 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.
LIMITS:
The design is based on information submitted. lf soil conditions encountered are different from conditions
described in report, CBO lnc. should be notified. All OWTS construction must be according to the county
regulations. Requiremenis 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 quesiions.
Sincerely,
CBO lnc.
