Salinas P. O. Box 1799 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81602 salinasjesus23@gmail.com Project No. 22-7-121 Subject: Certification of Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS), Proposed Residence, Lot 3, Filing 3, Mineota Ridge Estates, 2276 Minoeta Drive, Garfield County, Colorado Dear Jesus: A representative of Kumar & Associates observed the installation of the Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) for the proposed residence at the subject site as required by the Garfield County Environmental Health Department. Our observations and recommendations are presented in this report. The services are supplemental to Kumar & Associates agreement for professional services to you dated January 14, 2022. We previously designed the OWTS for the residence as submitted in our report dated October 3, 2022, Project No. 22-7-121. The system was designed for three bedrooms. We performed our as-built evaluation on March 25, 2025. The OWTS components observed included: cleanout, septic tank, distribution box, and soil treatment area (STA) and the locations of these components. All components of the OWTS had been backfilled prior to our inspection. The installation and locations of the system components were verified as shown on Figure 1. Pictures of the OWTS components made during the site visit are included with this report. Pictures prior to backfill are also included from the installer. The distance locations to the septic tank shown on Figure 1 were made by taping. The septic tank was changed from a Valley Precast 1,000-gallon, two-chamber tank to a Norwesco 1,000-gallon, two-chamber tank. The distribution box was changed from a Tuftite 4- hole distribution box to a Tuftite 7-hole distribution box. The chambers were changed from 44 Quick4 Plus Standard chambers to 36 Arc 36 chambers. The changes are acceptable to us. It is our opinion that the OWTS was installed in general conformance with the above-referenced design. The observations and recommendations presented above are based on our site observations and our experience in the area. We make no warranty either express or implied. Alterations to the system or improper backfill and site grading could affect the operation and effectiveness of the OWTS. 67'83' Kumar & Associates OWTS PHOTOGRAPH LOG PROPOSED RESIDENCE LOT 3, FILING 3, MINEOTA RIDGE ESTATES 2276 MINEOTA DRIVE GARFIELD COUNTY, COLORADO Project No. 22-7-121 Photograph 1: Cleanout and sewer line exiting building.
