OWTS Permit #: SEPT-9277
January 6, 2026
On August 4, 2025, we visited the site of the building under construction at 1430 Mineota Drive near Silt
in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-9277.
The system was designed by CBO Inc. and installed by Russell Aaberg Trucking. We received an as-built
drawing of the constructed system and a letter certifying that the system was constructed in compliance
with the permitted design from the OWTS designer dated December 29, 2025.
During our inspection, we observed the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the building, the new
poly 1,500-gallon two-compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee of the second
compartment of the tank, the new effluent line, the new distribution box, and the Soil Treatment Area
(STA). The septic tank and distribution box were installed level with access brought to grade. The STA
consisted of six total gravelless chamber trenches with one trench of 18, and six trenches of 17 Infiltrator
Quick4 chambers (103 total chambers, 1236 ft 2 total STA). Additionally, inspection ports were present at
each end of each trench.
As required by Garfield County OWTS Regulation Section 43.4.F.3, based on our final inspection
observations, this OWTS was installed according to the permit requirements and regulations.
