Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by Will Simpson dated December 1, 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 new three-bedroom residence. The system will consist of a new, two-
compartment 1,000-gallon septic tank, on the CDPHE approved list, set level with access at grade
and effluent filter installed in the outlet. Effluent will flow to a distribution box that will distribute
effluent to 780ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of four 65ft long 3ft wide trenches 4ft apart. Each
trench will contain a perforated distribution lateral placed in 1ft of 3/4inch gravel with at least 6
inches of gravel below each lateral and 2 inches of gravel above each lateral with filter fabric
installed over the gravel. Distribution laterals are to be 4inch SDR 35 or equivalent pipe ending in a
cap at the distal end. The orifices are to be facing downward. Inspection ports are to be installed at
each end of each trench. 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.
