Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by
Sopris Engineering dated May 7, 2025. Changes to the design and permit must be approved by Garfield County
Public Health and the designer prior to construction.
The new OWTS will serve two new commercial buildings. The new OWTS components will consist of two new
septic tanks on the CDPHE approved list, set level with access to grade. Building I’s sewage will flow to a new
1,250-gallon septic tank for primary treatment while Building K’s sewage will flow to a 2,500-gallon septic tank
for primary treatment. Two new screened high-head pumps will be installed, one in the third chamber of the
2,500-gallon septic tank and one in the second chamber of the 1,250-gallon septic tank. Effluent will be
pumped from the 2,500-gallon tank to the second chamber of the 1,250-gallon tank where effluent from both
buildings will be dosed to an automatic distributing valve set at the high point of the system that will distribute
effluent to 1,464 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of two 12 ft by 61 ft unlined sand filter beds, consisting of
at least 2 feet of secondary sand media overlain by perforated distribution laterals placed in GeoMat
distribution media. Distribution laterals are to be 1 ½ inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 5/32-inch orifices every 2-
feet on center and the laterals ending in flushing valves at the distal end. The residual head (squirt height) at
the end of the system is to be 4-feet. The orifices are to be facing downward with orifice shields. Inspection
ports are to be installed at each corner of each bed. Maintain all setbacks and elevations as designed.
To assist in scheduling, please contact Garfield County Public Health (970-945-6614 ext. 8150) to notify the
start of OWTS construction. Contact the designer and Garfield County Public Health at least 48 hours prior to
requesting final inspection of the installed system prior to backfill. NO OWTS COMPONENT SHALL BE
BACKFILLED WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM GARFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE DESIGNER.
