RE: Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Tank Replacement for Jackson Project located at
5649 County Road 117., Glenwood Springs, CO 81601
On August 3, 2024, K-Cronk Engineering, Inc. had a meeting with the owner of the property
mentioned above to discuss the existing Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) servicing
the existing four-bedroom residence. According to the records obtained from Garfield County
(enclosed), the system was designed to accommodate a four-bedroom residential loading, and it
was installed in October 1996. The OWTS consists of a 1,500-gallon, two-compartment septic
tank, followed by a soil treatment area consisting of five (5) rows of seven (7) Biodiffuser
chambers. The owner advised K-Cronk Engineering, Inc. that the existing tank shows signs of
damage and requires replacement.
The existing tank must be pumped to remove as much waste as possible, and either removed
completely or abandoned in place. If the tank is to be abandoned, the bottom, top, and sides must
be crushed in to ensure the tank neither floats nor fills with water, and the remaining void must be
filled with gravel, sand, or compacted soil.
A 1,250 gallon (min.), two compartment septic tank is required to provide a minimum of 48 hours
retention time for sewage generated from the four-bedroom residence. At the owner’s request, the
existing tank will be replaced with a 1,500 gallon septic tank. A non-corrodible Orenco filter
(model # FTW0436-28) shall be installed at the final outlet tee of the septic tank to limit the size
of solids and sludge passing into the soil treatment area. The filter must be accessible for cleaning
and replacement from the ground surface.
The tank layout plan is shown in the enclosed graphic. Installer may adjust the location and/or
orientation as needed to accommodate existing site conditions and offsets. The elevations of the
existing septic tank and effluent lines are currently unknown. Should existing conditions limit the
feasibility of replacing the tank while still maintaining gravity flow to the existing soil treatment
area, a pressurized system may be required. It is the owner’s/installer’s responsibility to inform
this office of any issues once the elevations have been determined.
