Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by CBO Inc. May 21,
2025. Changes to the design and permit must be approved by Garfield County Public Health and the designer prior to
construction.
Prior to installation of OWTS components, the soils in the proposed STA must be confirmed by the designer and a report of
the soil conditions shall be provided to GCPH.
The new OWTS will serve a three-bedroom residence and two-bedroom ADU. The new OWTS components will consist of a new
1,500-gallon two compartment septic tank on the CDPHE approved list, set level with access to grade and equipped with an
effluent filter in the outlet tee. Effluent will flow from the septic tank to a 500-gallon single compartment pump chamber which
will house a new screened high-head pump. The septic tank and pump chamber will be anchored according to manufacturer
recommendations due to the presence of high ground water. Effluent will be dosed from the pump chamber to an automatic
distributing valve set at the high point of the system that will distribute effluent to 940 ft 2 of STA. . The existing STA will be
abandoned, and the liner of the existing ET bed must be removed in the area under the new mounded STA. The new STA will
consist of two 10 ft by 47 ft unlined sand filter beds, consisting of at least 3 feet of secondary sand media overlain by perforated
distribution laterals placed in GeoMat distribution media. The 10-ft setback from the Southern property line to the edge of the
sand filter must be met. Distribution laterals are to be 1 ½ inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 5/32-inch orifices every 3-feet on center
facing downwards with orifice shields. Each lateral is to end in a flushing valve at the distal end. The residual head (squirt height)
at the end of the system is to be 5-feet. The infiltrative surface shall be at 2-feet below grade in order to reach the required
vertical setback of 3ft for pressure distribution from seasonal high ground water. Final cover will be mounded to reach
approximately 1.5ft of soil over the distribution laterals and sloped at a 3:1 ratio from the top of the mound to the native grade.
Inspection ports are to be installed at each corner of each bed. Maintain all setbacks and elevations as designed. The existing
septic tank must be abandoned per Garfield County OWTS Regulations by crushing or removal.
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.
