RE: 2225 Midland Avenue OWTS
OWTS Permit No. SEPT-8498
BUI #23038
Ted:
The purpose of this letter is to discuss our observation of the installation of the replacement
Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) 2225 Midland Avenue in Garfleld County, CO
in Glenwood Springs, CO. Boundaries Unlimited Inc (BUI) observed the installation of a
2000-gallon concrete septic tank with an effluent fllter, a 500-gallon concrete dosing tank
with an Orenco dosing pump system, 1-1/4ӯ PVC dosing/distribution piping, a two-way
distribution valve, two pressure dosing absorption beds with 51 Quick 4 Inflltrator units in
each (102 units total), interior distribution piping with a fiush valve at the end of each row,
and inspection ports at each end of each row.
The Contractor was advised to remove a small pocket of construction debris from the east
wall of the east bed and contact Garfleld County for their inspection. After receiving
comments from yourself, the Contractor was also advised to insulate the dosing line between
the dosing tank and the distribution valve and to contact Garfleld County for a follow up
observation of the pump testing when the electrical system is connected. Based on our
inspection, the OWTS appears to have been installed in general conformance with the intent
of the design and current Garfleld County regulations. Please see the attached asbuilt (based
on fleld gps) and images of the installation.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
BOUNDARIES UNLIMITED INC.
