Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by SGM Inc. dated July 14, 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 six-bedroom residence. The system will consist of a new, two-
compartment 2,000-gallon septic tank on the CDPHE approved tank list set level with access at grade
and a screened high-head pump in the second chamber. Effluent will be pumped to an ADV set at
the highpoint of the system that will distribute effluent to 864 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of
four unlined sand filter chamber trenches, each trench consisting of 18 ‘Quick 4’ chambers (72
chambers total). Distribution laterals are to be 1 ½ inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 3/16-inch orifices
every 2.9 -feet on center facing upwards and the laterals ending in 90-degree sweeping bends and
flushing valves at the distal end of the laterals. The orifices are to be facing upward, except for the
first and last orifice (which shall face downward and be equipped with orifice shields). Inspection
ports are to be installed at the end of each trench. The residual head (squirt height) at the end of the
system is to be 6-feet. 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.
