Subject: Final Acceptance Letter
206 County Road 323
Rifle, CO 81650
OWTS Permit #: SEPT-7333
March 4, 2025
Garfield County Public Health was not called to inspect the OWTS installation at 206 County
Road 323 near Rifle in Garfield County, Colorado pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-7333. The
existing OWTS at the parcel consisted of a 1,250-gallon, two compartment septic tank followed
by a distribution box and a Soil Treatment Area (STA) of three chamber trenches consisting of
seven 2 feet by 8 feet chambers per trench (21 total chambers, 336 ft2 total STA). To meet
current Garfield County OWTS Regulatory requirements, the STA needed to be increased by a
minimum of 189 ft2. The expanded STA consisted of 12 Infiltrator ARC 24 chambers per trench
in two additional trenches (24 total chambers, 192 ft2 total STA added for a total STA of 528 ft2).
We received an as-built drawing of the constructed system and a letter certifying that the system
was generally installed according to specifications from the OWTS designer dated August 15,
2023. 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.
Thank you,
