OWTS Permit #: SEPT-7494
October 7, 2024
On April 4, 2024, Garfield County Public Health (GCPH) staff visited the site of the residence under
construction at 69 Weeping Willow Lane near Carbondale in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS
installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-7494. The contractor had installed the new sewer line and
cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new concrete 2,000-gallon two-compartment septic tank with a high-
head pump in the second compartment of the tank, the new pump line, and the 756 ft2 Soil Treatment Area
(STA). The septic tank was installed level with access to the tank brought to grade. The STA consisted of two
12 feet wide by 31.5 feet long by 3 feet deep unlined sand filter constructed with secondary sand media.
Additionally, inspection ports were present at each corner of each 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 September 11, 2024)
indicating “the OWTS was generally installed to specifications” with the permitted design. The letter also
indicated that on September 9, 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.
Thank you,
