Subsurface lnvestigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
3-Bedroom Cabin
TBD CR 313
Garfield County, Colorado
Dustin
CBO lnc. performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater treatment system
(OW|-S) design for the subject residence. The 4O-acre property is located outside of New Castle, in an
area where OWTSs and wells are necessary.
Legal Description: Section:25 Township: 7 Range: 91 S1/2S1/2SE
Parcel lD: 2399-254-00-082
SITE CONDITIONS
The propefi is currently undeveloped. A 3-bedroom cabin is proposed.
The cabin will be served by a private well on the propefi. The well is located to the southeast of the
proposed cabin. The well is located greater than SO-feet from the proposed septic tank and greater than
1O0-feet from the proposed soiltreatment area (STA).
East Divide Creek runs to the east of the proposed cabin and OWTS. The creek will be at least SO-feet
from the septic tank and 10O-feet from the STA.
The proposed STA location has an approximate eight percent slope to the east of the driveway.
The proposed STA is vegetated with sparse aspen and evergreen trees and grasses.
There should be no traffic or staging of material over the future STA site to avoid compaction of soib
prior to construction of the STA.
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on September 29,2020 by digging two soil profile test pit excavations (Test
Pits). A visual and tactile soil analysis was completed by Carla Ostberg at the time of excavation.l The
investigation took place to the west of East Divide Creek.
The materials encountered in Test Pit #1 consisted of dark brown topsoil to 4.O-feet, underlain by dark

Evaluation of Soils Training.

brown, moist, sandy loam with a tan matrix to a maximum depth explored of 6-feet. No bedrock or
g roundwater was encountered.
The materials encountered in Test Pit #2 consisted of dark brown sandy loam and some angular rock to a
maximum depth explored of 6.5-feet. No bedrock or groundwaterwas encountered. Soils were more moist
beginning at about 6.0-feet below grade.
A sample of the soils was taken from Test Pit #1 at 2.S-feet below grade. Soil structure grade was
moderate. The soil formed a ball and a ribbon less than 1-inch in length before breaking. Soil structure
shape was blocky and consistence was friable to firm. Soiltexture was more gritty than smooth.
Given the proximity to the creek and your experience with high seasonal groundwater on the property, we
are estimating high seasonal groundwater at 4-feet below native grade.
STA sizing is based on Soil Type 2, Sandy Loam. A long term acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.6 gallons
per square foot will be used to design the OWTS.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Desiqn Calculations:
Average Design Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 3 Bedrooms = 450 GPD
LTAR = 0.6 GPD/SF
450 GPD / 0.6 GPD/SF = 750 SF x 1.0 (pressure dosed bed) x 0.7 (GeoMatrM with min.6" sand filter
material) = 525 SF
10' x 52.5 bed
The OWTS design is based on 3-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 450 GPD will be used
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation has been established as 100' (Finished
Floor). CBO lnc. should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with grade elevations of proposed
components during installation of the OWTS.
*Elevations are based upon standard OWTS installation practices. Component elevations may change during
installation due to site conditions. Minimum grade refers to piping between components.
The 4-inch SDR-35 sewer line exiting the residence must have a double-sweep clean out and a minimum
2Vo grade to the septic tank.
The system installation will include a 1SOO-gallon, two-compartment Valley Precast concrete septic tank
with an Orenco@ Biotube Pump Vault and an Orenco@ PF3005 pump in the second compartment of the
septic tank. The floats should be set to dose approxlmately 45 gallons each pump cycle, allowlng
approximately 10 gallons of drain back. The control panel for the pump must be located within line of
sight of the septic tank. An electrician will be responsible for wiring the pumping system and the contractor
will be responsible for connecting the plumbing. This office should be contacted for start-up of the system to
veriff its functioning and to perform a squirt test prior to use of the system.

Pump Criteria
Page 4
Table
Effluent will be pumped through a 1 .S-inch diameter pump line from the pump chamber to an Orenco@
automatic distributing valve (ADV), model 6403. This pump line must have a minimum 1o/o grade for proper
drain back into the tank afier each pump cycle. The ADV must be placed at a high point in the system in an
insulated riser with access from grade. Screened rock must be placed below the ADV to support the ADV
and to assure the clear pipes exiting the ADV remain visible for future inspection and maintenance.
Effluent will be pressure dosed to through 1 .S-inch diameter distribution lines to a 10' x 52.5' bed. A
minimum of 1-foot of sand filter material will be installed in the over-excavated footprint, extending 1-foot on
the uphill side. This will assure a separation of at least 4-feet between the infiltrative area and high
seasonal groundwater. Sand filter material must be clean, coarse sand, all passing a screen having four
meshes to the inch. The sand must have an effective size between 0.15 and 0.60 mm. The uniformity
coefficient must be 7.0 or less. Material meeting ASTM 33, for concrete sand, with three percent or less
fines passing 200 mesh sieve may be used. A gradation of the sand media must be submitted to this
office prior to obtaining the sand.
Three 39" wide GeoMatsrM must be placed on the 1O-foot wide bed. Laterals, connected directly to the
ADV, must be 1.S-inches in diameterwith 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing down, spaced 3-feet on center,
installed down the center of each 39" wide GeoMatrM sheet, covered with the gray separation fabric. All
materialassociated with the GeoMatrM installation must be proprietary products associated with the
GeoMatrM, including orifice shields and geotextile fabric. Manufacturer instructions must be followed
regarding installation of the GeoMatrM.
Each 1 .S-inch diameter lateral must end in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. Valves
should be placed in a 1O-inch sprinkler box for access. Laterals must be covered by a soil separation
fabric and at least 1-foot of topsoil or other suitable soil able to support vegetative growth. There shall be no
cobble-sized (r2,5") or greater rock in final cover over the GeoMatrM. lnspection ports must be placed at
each corner of each bed. Ports may be cut to grade and covered with a valve box for access.
It should be noted with the bed on a sloped area, the sand base may increase in depth on the downhill side
for a level infiltrative area. Capping soils must have a minimum 3:1 slope (horizontal:vertical) to catch the
down gradient slope. Capping soils must be well draining and able to support vegetative growth. Final
grading should promote drainage off the STA.
COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS
The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area.
GBO Inc. must approve alternative components prior to installation of the OWTS. Requests must
be submitted, in writing, to our office for approval prior to installation. Component technical data
sheets are available upon request.
Page 5
Construction must be according to the jurisdiction's adopted On-Site Wastewater Treatment System
Regulations, the OWTS Permit, and this design.
PERMIT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
An OWTS Permit Application must be submitted to Garfield County Environmental Health Department.
https://www.garfield-countv.com/environmental-health/filesqcco/sites/'16IOWTS-Application-Complete-
Packet-Dec.-2019.pdf. lf the OWTS Permit Application will be submitted with a Building Permit
Application, it should be submitted directly to Garfield County Building Department.
All questions regarding permit submission can be directed to Garfield County Environmental Health
Department, 970-945-6614 x81 50.
INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR
CBO lnc. expects that the installer be experienced and qualified to perform the scope of work outlined in this
design. The installer must review this design thoroughly and coordinate with our office in advance of
installation. Any additional conditions in this design or county permit must be completed and documented
prior to final approval of the OWTS installation. Communication between the installer and this office is
expected throughout the installation.
INSTALLATION OBSERVATIONS
CBO lnc. must view the OWTS during construction. The OWTS observation should be performed before
backfill, after placement of OWTS components. Septic tanks, distribution devices, pumps, dosing
siphons, and other plumbing, as applicable, must also be observed. CBO lnc. should be notified 48 hours
in advance to observe the installation.
ln an effort to improve the accuracy of the record drawing, we request that the installer provide a
sketch of the installation, including path of the sewer lines, water line installation (if applicable),
septic tank location, STA location, and measurements from building corners or another fixed
objects on the property. This sketch is most easily provided on Sheet \A2.0 of the OWTS Design
Packet. Photographs of the installation and final cover are also requested to supplement our installation
documentation.

REVEGETATION REQU IREMENTS
An adequate layer of good quality topsoil capable of supporting revegetation shall be placed over the entire
disturbed area of the OWTS installation. A mixture of native grass seed that has good soil stabilizing
characteristics (but without taproots), provides a maximum transpiration rate, and competes well with
successional species. No trees or shrubs, or any vegetation requiring regular irrigation shall be placed over
the STA. Until vegetation is reestablished, erosion and sediment control measures shall be implemented
and maintained on site. The owner of the OWTS shall be responsible for maintaining proper vegetation
cover.
OPERATION INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE
The properly owner shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of each OWTS servicing the
propefi. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service contracts for manufactured units,
alternating STAs, and any other components needing maintenance.
Geo-fabrics or plastics should not be used over the STA. No heavy equipment, machinery, or materials
should be placed on the backfilled STA. Machines with tracks (not wheels) should be used during
construction of the STA for better weight distribution. Livestock should not graze on the STA. Plumbing
fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additional water is being discharged to OWTS. For example, a
running toilet or leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm a STA.
lf an effluent filter or screen has been installed in the OWTS, we recommend this filter or screen be cleaned
annually, or as needed. lf the OWTS consists of a pressurized pump system, we recommend the laterals be
flushed annually, or as needed.
The homeowner should pump the septic tank every two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of
solids in the tank. Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non-biodegradable materials should not
be placed into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in household drains. Loading from a water softener
should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the OWTS.
Mechanical room drains should not discharge into the OWTS. The OWTS is engineered for domestic waste
only.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES
lf design includes a pump, weep holes must be installed to allow pump lines to drain to minimize risk of
freezing. The pump shall have an audible and visual alarm notification in the event of excessively high-
water conditions and shall be connected to a control breaker separate from the high-water alarm breaker
and from any other control system circuits. The pump system shall have a switch so the pump can be
manually operated.
Excavation equipment must not drive in the excavation of the STA due to the potential to compact soil.
Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components to allow access to them from existing grade.
Backfill over the STA must be uniform and granular with no material greater than minus 3-inch.
LIMITS:
The design is based on information submitted. lf soil conditions encountered are different from conditions
described in report, CBO lnc. should be notified. All OWTS construction must be according to the county
regulations. Requirements not specified in this report must follow applicable county regulations. The
contractor should have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of
the county in which they are working. Licensing of Systems Contractors may be required by county
regulation.

Biotube@ ProPak Pump PackagerM
60-Hz Series Pump Pacltages
Control panel
General
Orenco's Biotube@ ProPaK' is a complete, integrated pump package for
filtering and pumping effluent from septic tanks. And its patented pump
vault technology eliminates the need for separate dosing tanks.
This document provides detailed information on the ProPak pump vault
and filter, 4-in. (100-mm) 60-Hz turbine effluent pump, and control panel
For more information 0n other ProPak components, see the following
0renco technical documents:
o Float Switch Assemblies (NSU-MF-MF-1)
. Discharge Assemblies (NTD-HV-HV-1 )
. Splice Boxes (NTD-SB-SB-1)
. External Splice Box (NTD-SB-SB-I)
Applications
The Biotube ProPak is designed to filter and pump effluent to either
gravity or pressurized discharge points. lt is intended for use in a septic
tank (one- or two-compaftment) and can also be used in a pump tank.
The Biotube ProPak is designed to allow the effluent filter to be removed
for cleaning without the need to remove the pump vault or pump, simpli-
fuing servicing.
Complete packages are available for on-demand or timed dosing sys-
tems with flow rates of 20, 30, and 50-gpm (1.3, 1.9, and 3.2 Usec),
as well as with 50 Hz and 60 Hz power supplies.

Using a Pump Curve
A pump curvehelpsyou determine the best pump for your system. Pump curves show the relationship between flow (gpm or Usec) and pressure
(total dynamic head, or TDH), providing a graphical representaiion of a pump's optimal performance range. Pumps perform best at their nominal
1ow rate - the value, measured in gpm, expressed by the first two numerals in an 0renco pump nomenclature. The graphs in this section show
optimal pump operation ranges with a solid line. Flow flow rates outside of these ranges are shown with a dashed line. For the most accurate
pump specification, use 0renco's PumpSelect'" software.

Orenco Automatic Distributing F
Valve Assemblies
For Wastewater Effluent Systems
Introduction
Orenco's automatic distributing valve assemblies, pressurized with small high-head effluent
pumps, are useful for distributing effluent to multiple zones. These zones can be segments
of sand filter manifolds, drainfields, or other effluent distribution systems. Distributing
valve assemblies can substantially simplify the design and installation of a distribution sys-
tem and reduce installation costs. This is particularly true where a distributing valve assem-
bly is used instead of multiple pumps and/or electrically operated valves. Additionally, a
reduction in long term operation and maintenance costs is realized due to a reduced size
and/or number of pumps. More even distribution can be achieved on sloping sites by zoning
laterals at equal elevations. This eliminates drainback to lower lines and the unequal distrib-
ution of effluent that occurs atthe beginning of a cycle.
Valve Operation
The valve itself has only a few moving parts, requires no electricity, and alternates automati-
cally each cycle. Refer to Figure 1 for the following valve operation description. The flow
of the incoming effluent forces the rubber flap disk O to seat against the valve bottom @.
The opening @ in the rubber flap disk aligns with an opening in the valve bottom to allow
flow to only one valve outlet. The stem @ houses a stainless steel spring which pushes the
rubber flap disk away from the valve bottom after the flow of effluent stops. The stem acts
as a cam follower and rotates the rubber flap disk as the stem is raised and lowered through
the cam @. The force from the flow of effluent pushes the stem down through the cam and
the stainless steel spring pushes the stem back up through the cam when the flow of effluent
stops. Each linear motion of the stem allows the rubber flap disk to rotate half the distance
necessary to reach the next outlet. When there is no flow, the rubber flap disk is in the "up"
position and is not seated against the valve bottom.

Orenco Distributing Valve Assembly (6000 Series Valve)
The Distributing Valve Assembly
The Orenco Automatic Distributing Valve Assembly combines the distributing valve itself and sever-
al other components to give a complete preassembled unit that is easy to install, monitor, and main-
tain. Figure 2 shows a complete assembly. Because distributing valves with several outlets can be
difficult to line up and glue together in the field, the discharge lines in the assemblies are glued in
place at Orenco. The unions (1) allow removal and maintenance of the valve. The clear PVC pipe
sections (2) give a visual check of which discharge line is being pressurized. The inlet ball valve (3)
allows a quick, simple method to test for proper valve cycling. The ball valve also stops the flow of
effluent in case the pump is activated unexpectedly during maintenance or inspection. Check valves
may be necessary on the discharge lines. Use of check valves is discussed in the valve positioning
section.
Valve Assembly Hydraulics
Liquid flowing through the valve assembly must pass through fairly small openings and make several
changesindirection. Becauseofthis,headlossesthroughthevalveassembly atefairly high. Table 1
gives the headloss equations for several different assemblies and Figure 3 shows the graphical repre-
sentations of these equations. Orenco recommends that high-head turbine pumps be used to pressur-
ize the valve assemblies to ensure enough head is available for proper system operation. High-head
turbine pumps are also recommended because the use of a distributing valve usually requires more
frequent pump cycling. The high-head turbine pumps are designed for high cycling systems and will
outlast conventional effluent pumps by a factor of 10 or more in a high cycling mode. Furthermore,
the high-head turbine pump intake is 12 inches or more above the bottom of the pump and tends to
prevent any settled solids from being pumped into the distribution valve and obstructing its opera-
tion. ,t minimum flow rate through the distributing valve is required to ensure proper seating of the
rubber flap disk. Minimum flow rates for the various models are given in Table 1.

The Pumping System
Although the distributing valve was designed for the irrigation industry, it has started to gain fairly
wide acceptance in the effluent pumping industry. However, because of the mechanical movements
of the valve, it is necessary to take steps to prevent solids from reaching the distributing valve that
may impede the operation of the valve. Orenco Biotube@ Pump Vaults - when properly sized and
installed - provide the necessary protection to prevent valve malfunction. The Biotube'pump vault
accepts effluent only from the clear zone between a tank's scum and sludge layers and then filters
this effluent through a very large surface area screen cartridge. Without this protection in effluent
systems, the valve has very little chance of reliable long-term operation.

Valve Positioning
The physical position of the valve in relation to the pump and the discharge point is very important
for proper valve operation. The most reliable operation occurs when the valve is placed at the high
point in the system and as close to the pump as possible. The transport line between the pump and
valve should bc kcpt full if possible. If the line is empty at the beginning of each cycle, pockets of
air during filling can cause random rotation of the valve. The valve is particularly vulnerable to this
erratic rotation with empty lines that are long and not laid at a constant grade. An ideal valve loca-
tion is shown in Figure 4.
If the final discharge point is more than about 2 feet above the valve and the system does not drain
back into the dosing tank, check valves should be installed on the lines immediately following the
valve and a pressure release hole or line should be installed just prior to the valve. This pressure
release hole or line can go into a return line to the dosing tank or to a "minidrainfield" near the valve.
In order for the valve to rotate reliably, no more than about 2 feet of head should remain against the
valve to allow the rubber flap disk to return to its up position. In many cases, it may take from one
minute to several minutes for the pressure in the valve to be lowered enough for proper rotation to
occur. Special care should be taken when installing systems controlled by programmable timers to
ensure cycling does not occur too rapidly. Figure 5 illustrates a valve assembly using check valves.
Pumping downhill to the valve should be avoided unless the transport line is very short and the ele-
vation between the discharge line out of the tank and the valve is less than about 2 feet. If the valve
is located many feet below the dosing tank, random cycling may occur while the transport line drains
through the valve at the end of the cycle. A pressure sustaining valve located just before the distrib-
uting valve may overcome this problem in some instances.

System Startup
Refer to the Hydrotek Valve booklet that is provided with the distributing valve assembly for the
sequencing of the valve outlets. The transport line should always be flushed with clean water before
installing the valve. Any sand, gravel, or other foreign objects that may have been in the pipe during
ilstallation can casily bccome lodged in the distributing valve, causing malfunction.
With the pump running, alternately close and open the ball valve on the distributing valve assembly
to check proper rotation of the valve. Q.{ote: If check valves are used on the lines after the distribut-
ing valve, the pump may need to be tumed on and off to allow the pressure to be released from the
valve.) If visual operation of which zone is operating is not possible, watch the clear pipe on each
line for indication of which zone is operating.

Maintenance
Annually check for proper operation by following procedures listed in the Hydrotek Valve booklet
and system startup procedures listed above.
Troubleshooting
1. PROBLEM: Valve does not change or cycle to next zone or outlet
CAUSE: The stem and disk assembly is not rotating when water flow is turned off and then
back on.
SOLUTION 1
SOLUTION 2
Ensure that there is no debris inside the cam. Clean and carefully reinstall the cam.
If fewer than the maximum number of outlets are being used, check the installation
of the cam. Ensure that the stem and disk assembly is not being held down by an
improperly installed cam. Refer to the cam replacement instructions.
NTP.VA.l
Hev.1.2, @ 11/03

Page 5 ot 6
SOLUTION 3
SOLUTION 4:
SOLUTION 5:
SOLUTION 6:
Remove the valve top and check for proper movement of stem and disk assembly.
Check for and remove any debris or foreign objects that may jam or retard the
movement of the disk.
Check for freedom of movement of stem and disk assembly up and down over the
center pin in bottom of valve. Scale deposits may build up on the pin and hold stem
and disk assembly down. Clean pin and again check for freedom of movement.
Be sure that all operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to operating zones
is not restricted in any manner. This would cause pressure to build up in the valve
and lock the stem and disk assembly in the down position.
The backflow of water from uphill lines may be preventing the valve from cycling
properly. This can happen when the valve is placed too far below an elevated line.
If the valve cannot be placed close to the high point of the system, a check valve
should be installed near the valve in the outlet line that runs uphill from the valve
and a drain line installed just prior to the valve to relieve the pressure.
2. PROBLEM: Water comes out of all the valve outlets
CAUSE: Stem and disk assembly not seating properly on valve outlet
SOLUTION 1: Check for sufficient water flow. A minimum flow rate is required to properly seat
the disk as shown in Table i.
SOLUTION 2: Remove the valve top and check the inside walls to ensure that nothing is interfering
with the up and down movement of the stem and disk assembly inside the valve.
SOLUTION 3: Make sure that the operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to the operat-
ing zones are not restricted in any manner.
3. PROBLEM: Valve skips outlets or zones
CAUSE:Pumping into an empty transport line - especially downhill - may cause the valve
to skip outlets from pockets of air allowing the rubber flap disk to raise during a
cycle.
SOLUTION 1: Keep the transport line full.
SOLUTION 2: If the line must remain empty between cycles, use a larger diameter transport line
laid at a constant grade to prevent air pockets from forming.
CAUSE: The stem and disk assembly is being advanced past the desired outlet.
SOLUTION 1: Ensure that the correct cam for the desired number of zones is installed and that the
outlet lines are installed to the correct outlet ports of the valve as indicated by the
zone numbers on the toP of the cam.

General
0renco's Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies are
mechanically operated and sequentially redirect the
pump's flow to multiple zones or cells in a distribution
field. Valve actuation is accomplished by a combination
of pressure and flow. Automatic Distributing Valve
Assemblies allow the use of smaller horsepower pumps
on large sand filters and drainfields. For example, a large
community drainfield requiring 300 gpm can use a six-line
Valve Assembly to reduce the pump flow rate requirement
to only 50 gpm.
0renco only warrants Automatic Distributing Valves when
used in conjunction with High-Head Effluent Pumps with
Biotube@ Pump Vaults to provide pressure and flow
requirements, and to prevent debris from fouling valve
operation. An inlet ballvalve and a section of clear pipe
and union for each outlet are provided for a complete
assembly that is easy to maintain and monitor. ldeal
valve location is at the high point in the system. Refer to
Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies (NTP-VA-1) for
more information.

QuickSnap" Orifice Shield lnstructions
These instructions are for use with GeoMat'" Leaching System
Put a 2 x 6 that is at least as long as the pipe
on the ground or saw horses for use as a
level surface.
Place the pipe on the 2 x 6 with one shield
at each end of the pipe to secure it from
rotation during orifice and shield
orientation marking, be sure to remove
these shields when pipe is complete.
Measure and mark position of orifice on the
top of the pipe, per design specification.
Snap a shield on directly beneath each
orifice mark.
Mark the edge of each shield on at least one
side, as shown, and mark the exact top of
the pipe. This marking will allow the shield
to be properly oriented.
Drill pipe per design specification.
Be sure to clean shavings/debris out of hole
Rotate shields 180 degrees to cover orifice.
The edge of the shield should be aligned
with the edge mark as shown. The shield
should be rotated such that the flat surface
and the top orientation mark are both in the
12 O'clock position. This should result in
the shield positioned directly over the
orifice.
Generously apply Premier brand One-Step
Pipe Cement Multi-Purpose Clear, or equal,
to the surfaces where the shield and pipe
meet. The use of a foam brush will help with
this; the round applicator is not effective.
Let glue sufficiently dry before rough
handling and/or sliding into GeoMat.
Note the above steps are intended to prevent shields
from moving around during insertion into GeoMat;
not for rough handling. When better adhesion is
necessary, for tronsportation, etc. use PVC primer
ond solvent cement on all surfaces where the pipe
ond shield touch and then snap on shield in correct
location.
