Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by CBO, Inc. dated
October 16, 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 an existing three-bedroom residence. The system will consist of a new two-compartment 1,000-
gallon septic tank with access at grade and an effluent filter installed in the outlet. A screened high-head pump will be
housed in a 500-gallon single-compartment pump chamber downstream from the septic tank. Effluent will be pumped to
an ADV set at the high point of the system that will distribute effluent to 819 ft2 of STA. The dose volume from the pump
shall be 85 gallons pumped 5-6 times per day. The specified pump for the project has a 28.6 gallon-per-minute pump rate
with a total dynamic head of 27.9 feet. The new STA will consist of one 13 ft by 60 ft unlined sand filter bed constructed of
two feet of secondary sand media. The bed will consist of 4 rows of 1.5-inch Schedule 40 PVC distribution laterals placed
in GeoMat distribution media, with 5/32-inch orifices every 3-feet on center and the laterals ending in 90-degree
sweeping bends and flushing valves at the distal end. The orifices are to be facing downward and be equipped with splash
plates. Inspection ports are to be installed 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.
