At the time of our site visit, the contractor had installed the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new concrete 1,500-gallon two-compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the second compartment followed by a 500-gallon pump chamber with a high-head pump in the chamber, the new pump line, and the 660 ft2 Soil Treatment Area (STA). The septic tank and pump chamber were installed level with access to the tank and pump chamber brought to grade. The STA consisted of two 10 feet wide by 33 feet long by 3 feet deep unlined sand filters constructed with secondary sand media with 1 ½-inch diameter Schedule 40 distribution laterals placed in three GeoMat distribution materials per bed. 5/32-inch diameter orifices spaced every 2.5 feet facing down were present along the distribution laterals. Inspection ports were present at each corner of the beds. Additionally, we received an installation observation letter and As-Built drawing from the system designer (dated June 9, 2024) indicating “the OWTS was generally installed according to specifications.” The letter also indicated that on June 4, 2024, a pump performance test was performed for the system and that the test indicated adequate pump pressure was observed. In our opinion, this system 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.
