Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by CBO Inc. dated
April 6, 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 proposed 3-bedroom residence and a future fourth bedroom. The new OWTS components
will consist of a new 1,250-gallon two compartment septic tank on the CDPHE approved list, set level with access to
grade and effluent installed in the outlet. A new screened high-head pump will be housed in 500-gallon pump chamber
on the CDPHE approved list. 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 810 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of two 10 ft by 40.5 ft
unlined sand filter beds, consisting of at least 2 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 downward. 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. Inspection ports are to be installed at each corner of the beds.
Maintain all setbacks and elevations as designed. The existing septic tank described by Permit SEPT-6486 must be
pumped and abandoned per Garfield County OWTS Regulation 43 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.
