Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by Sopris Engineering,
LLC. and design revisions dated July 2, 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 new five-bedroom main residence and three-bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The new
OWTS components will consist of a new 1,500-gallon three compartment septic tank on the CDPHE approved list for the main
residence and a new 1,500-gallon two compartment septic tank on the CDPHE approved list for the ADU, 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 tanks shall be
anchored according to manufacturer recommendations due to the presence of high ground water. Effluent from the ADU
septic tank will be dosed to the third chamber of the main residence tank. The combined effluent from the two structures will
be dosed from the third chamber of the main residence tank to 1,320 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of a two 12 ft by 55 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 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 2.5-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.
