OWTS Permit #: SEPT-7853
November 4, 2024
On October 7, 2024, we visited the site of the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) under
construction at 487 County Road 259 near Rifle in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the
OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-7853. The main residence will be
constructed later. The connection of the main residence to the existing OWTS referenced
in this letter will require an alteration permit and associated inspection by Garfield
County Public Health. At the time of our site visit, the contractor had installed the new sewer
line and cleanout adjacent to the ADU, the new poly 1,250-gallon two-compartment septic tank
with an effluent filter in the outlet tee of the tank, the new effluent line, the new distribution box,
and the six gravelless chamber trenches. The septic tank was installed level with access
brought to grade. The trenches consisted of 17 Arc36 chambers per trench (102 total chambers,
1,530 ft2 total STA). Additionally, inspection ports were present at each end of each trench. We
received an as-built drawing of the constructed system and a letter certifying that the system
was constructed in compliance with the permitted design from the OWTS designer dated
October 8, 2024. 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.
