Observation of an On Site Wastewater System (OWTS)
Permit Number SEPT-8180
HCE Project No. 2221023.00
LAND SURVEYING
The On Site Wastewater System (OWTS) was originally designed by High Country
Engineering (HCE) on 10/21/22 to accommodate six (6) bedrooms.
On 10/17/23, the applicant directed HCE to revise the original plans to reduce the size
of the OWTS system to accommodate five (5) bedrooms. HCE did so on 10/20/23. It is our
understanding that Permit Number SEPT-8180 was issued for five (5) bedrooms.
HCE visited the construction site on October 18, 2024 to observe the installation
of the OWTS prior to its backfilling. HCE visited the construction site again on October
285 2024 to observe the backfilled system.
Completed elements of the system that were observed by HCE included:
installation of the approved 1,500-gallon tank, with an inlet baffle effluent tee, and an
outlet effluent filter, influent discharge piping within open trenches, a distribution box,
effluent distribution piping in open trenches, soil treatment area infiltration chambers in
trench configuration, and inspection port risers. Enclosed are photographs.
The observed OWTS appeared to be installed in general conformance with the approved
design drawings by Hi��Engineering, dated October 20, 2023.
