Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by Deric Walter dated March 11, 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 four-bedroom residence. The system will consist of a new, two-
compartment 1,500-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 a level manifold
that will distribute effluent to 624 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of a 52 foot by 12 foot
gravelless chamber bed consisting of 4 rows of 13 ‘Quick 4’ chambers (52 chambers total).
Distribution laterals are to be 1 1/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 1/8-inch orifices every 3 -feet on
center 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 last orifices (which shall face
downward and be equipped with splash plates). Inspection ports are to be installed at each end of
each chamber row (one in each corner of the bed at minimum). The residual head (squirt height) at
the end of the system is to be 5-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.
