Project No. 23-7-689
Subject: Certification of Onsite Wastewater Treatment System, Proposed Residence, Lot
2, Piffer Subdivision Exemption, 321 Ram Lane, Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Evan:
As requested, a representative of Kumar & Associates observed the installation of the Onsite
Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) for the residence at the subject site as required by the
Garfield County Environmental Health Department. Our observations and recommendations
are presented in this report. The services are supplemental to Kumar & Associates agreement
for professional services to you dated December 7, 2023.
We previously designed the OWTS for the residence as submitted in our report dated March 29,
2024, Project No. 23-7-689. The residence has 3 bedrooms. The system was designed for five
bedrooms to allow for future expansion.
We performed our as-built evaluation on December 11 and 20, 2024. The OWTS components
observed included: septic tank, distribution box, effluent line and soil treatment area (STA) and
the locations of these components. The installation and locations of the system components
were verified as shown on Figure 1. Pictures of the OWTS components made during the site
visit are included with this report. The distance locations to the septic tank shown on Figure 1
were made by taping.
The septic tank was changed from a Valley Precast 1,500-gallon, two -chamber tank to an
Infiltrator IM-1530, 1,530-gallon, two-chamber tank. The change is acceptable to us.
It is our opinion that the OWTS was installed in general conformance with the above referenced
design.
Kumar & Associates
