OWTS Permit #: SEPT-7879
May 21, 2025
On November 18, 2024, Garfield County Public Health (GCPH) staff visited the residence at 169 Deer Park
Court near Glenwood Springs in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to
OWTS Permit # SEPT-7879. At the time of our site visit, the contractor had installed the new sewer line and
cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new poly 1,500-gallon two-compartment septic tank followed by a 500-
gallon pump chamber with a high-head pump in the chamber, the new pump line, and the 750 ft2 Soil
Treatment Area (STA). The septic tank and pump chamber were installed level with access to the tank and
pump chamber brought to grade. The STA consisted of a 12 feet wide by 62.5 feet long by 2 feet deep unlined
sand filter constructed with secondary sand media with 1 ½-inch diameter Schedule 40 distribution laterals
placed in three rows of 15 Quick4 gravelless chambers per row (45 chambers total). 5/32-inch diameter
orifices spaced every 2.5 feet facing up were present along the distribution laterals. Several punch list items
(including the installation of inlet and outlet tees in the septic tank, an effluent filter on the outlet tee of the
septic tank, installation of observation ports at the four corners of the bed, and installation of the pump and
control panel) were emailed to the applicant on November 19, 2024. We received an installation observation
letter and As-Built drawing from the system designer (dated March 18, 2025) indicating the OWTS was
generally installed according to specifications. The letter also indicated that all punch list items had been
addressed (with photographs) and that on February 19, 2025, a pump performance test was performed for the
system and that the test indicated the pump was operating as designed and that the audio/visual high-water
alarm on the control panel was functional. 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.
