OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8313
July 2, 2024
Due to staffing shortages, Garfield County Public Health staff were unable to observe the installation
of the OWTS pursuant to Permit # SEPT-8313. However, on October 10, 2023, the OWTS designer visited the
site at 361 County Road 311 near Silt in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant
to OWTS Permit # SEPT-8313. At the time of the site visit, the contractor had installed the expanded Soil
Treatment Area (STA) and a new pump and associated control panel. The expanded STA consisted of a 12
feet wide by 47 feet long by 2 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 28, 2024) indicating
“the OWTS was installed in general conformance” with the permitted design. The letter also indicated that on
June 28, 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.
