Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by CBO, Inc. dated
February 10, 2026. 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 five-bedroom main residence and two-bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The new
OWTS components will consist of a new 2,000-gallon three compartment septic tank (2,500-gallons total) on the CDPHE
approved list set level with access to grade with a new screened high-head pump housed in the third chamber of the septic
tank. The septic tanks shall be anchored according to manufacturer recommendations due to the presence of high ground
water. Effluent from the septic tank will be pressure dosed to an automatic distributing valve that will disperse effluent to
1,128 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of a two 12 ft by 47 ft unlined sand filter beds, consisting of at least 3 feet of
secondary sand media overlain by perforated distribution laterals placed in GeoMat distribution media. Distribution laterals
are to be 1 ½ inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 5/32-inch orifices every 3-feet on center facing downwards with orifice shields. Each
lateral is to end in a flushing valve at the distal end. The residual head (squirt height) at the end of the system is to be 5-feet.
The infiltrative surface shall be no deeper than 1-foot below natural grade and final cover will be mounded to reach
approximately 2 ft of soil over the distribution laterals and sloped at a 3:1 ratio from the top of the mound to the native grade.
Inspection ports are to be installed at each corner of each bed. 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.
