OWTS Permit #: SEPT‐8307
June 25, 2024
On November 6 and 30, 2023, Garfield County Public Health (GCPH) staff visited the site of the
residence under construction at 38 River Ridge Drive near Glenwood Springs in Garfield County, Colorado to
observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT‐8307. At the conclusion of our final site visit,
the contractor had installed the new sewer lines and cleanouts adjacent to the residence and garage, the
new concrete 1,000‐gallon three‐compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the second compartment
and a high‐head pump in the third compartment of the tank, the new pump line, and the 564 ft2 Soil
Treatment Area (STA). The septic tank was installed level with access to the tank brought to grade. The STA
consisted of a 12 feet wide by 47 feet long by 3 feet deep unlined sand filter constructed with secondary sand
media. Additionally, inspection ports were present at each corner of the bed. In our opinion, this system was
installed in general conformance with Garfield County OWTS Regulations. Additionally, we received an
installation observation letter and As‐Built drawing from the system designer (dated June 20, 2024) indicating
“the OWTS was installed in general conformance” with the permitted design. The letter also indicated that on
June 19, 2024, a pump performance test was performed for the system and that the test indicated adequate
pump pressure was observed. No further action or review from Garfield County Environmental Health is
required regarding this permit.
