Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with scope of work and site plan as submitted
by CBO Inc. dated February 3, 2026. Changes to the design and permit must be approved by Garfield County
Public Health prior to construction.
The new OWTS will serve an existing three-bedroom residence with capacity for a fourth bedroom. A
new 1,250-gallon two compartment septic tank set level with access to grade with a screened high-
head pump installed in second compartment of the tank will be installed. The existing septic tank
will be abandoned per GCPH regulations by crushing or removal. The septic tank shall be on the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s approved septic tank list. Effluent will be
pumped to an ADV at the high point of the system which will distribute effluent to 656.5 ft2 of STA
via two level manifolds. The dose volume from the pump shall be 65 gallons pumped 10-11 times per
day. The specified pump for the project has a 23.1 gallon-per-minute pump rate with a total dynamic
head of 17.7 feet. The new STA will consist of one 13 ft by 50.5 ft unlined sand filter bed constructed
of three feet of secondary sand media. The bed will consist of four 1.5-inch Schedule 40 PVC
distribution laterals placed 3ft apart and 2ft from the edges of the bed in GeoMat distribution
media. Each lateral shall have 5/32-inch orifices drilled 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 with
orifice shields. 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.
