High Country Engineering Inc. (HCE) visited the site on April 3, 2024, to observe the
installation that was in progress of the Accessory Dwelling Unit's (ADU) onsite wastewater
treatment system (OWTS) prior to its backfilling.
The Accessory Dwelling Unit's OWTS is sized to accommodate three (3) bedrooms. It is
our understating that the proposed main residence, and it's OWTS are to be constructed separately in
the future.
Elements of the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) system that were observed included
installation of. a cleanout, a 1,000-gallon tank, an inlet effluent tee, an outlet effluent filter,
effluent discharge piping within open trenches, a distribution box, effluent distribution piping in
open trenches, a soil treatment area consisting of infiltration chambers in trench configuration,
and inspection ports. Enclosed are photographs.
According to the Lot 1 Improvement Location Certificate, prepared by Book cliff Surveying Services;
dated 2/11/25, a portion of the soil treatment system appears to encroach within the U.S. West
Communications Easement recorded in: Book 890, Page 143. Other aspects of the observed
Accessory Dwelling Unit's OWTS appeared to be installed in substantial conformance with the
approved design drawings by High County Engineering, dated October 3, 2023.
