Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by CBO Inc. May
29, 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 a three-bedroom residence. 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. A new screened high-head pump
will be housed in the second chamber of the septic tank. The septic tank will be anchored according to manufacturer
recommendations due to the presence of high ground water. Effluent will be dosed from the second chamber of the
tank to an automatic distributing valve set at the high point of the system that will distribute effluent to 525 ft2 of STA.
The new STA will consist of a 10 ft by 52.5 ft unlined sand filter bed, consisting of at least 1 foot 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 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 no deeper than 1-foot below natural grade and 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 the 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.
