OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8886
January 29, 2026
On November 12, 2025, we visited the site of the residence at 1887 County Road 237 near Silt in
Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-8886.
The system was designed by K-Cronk Engineering and installed by Voskuil Operations. We received as-
built drawings of the constructed system and a letter certifying that the system was constructed in
compliance with the permitted design from the OWTS designer dated November 11, 2025 and from the
homeowner regarding the location and encasement of the waterline and pressurized sewer line from the
ADU on March 9, 2026.
During our inspection, we observed the new sewer line tie-in to the residence, the new poly
1,500-gallon two-compartment septic tank upstream of the new poly 1,000-gallon two-compartment
septic tank with a high-head Orenco pump package in the second compartment of the tank, the new pump
line, the level manifolds, and the Soil Treatment Area (STA). The septic tanks were installed level with
access brought to grade. The STA consisted of two 12 feet by 52 feet pressure-dosed gravelless chamber
beds consisting of 4 rows of 13 ‘Quick 4 chambers per bed for a total of 104 chambers (1248 ft 2 total
STA). The STA consisted of 4 distribution laterals per bed constructed of 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40
PVC with 1/8-inch diameter orifices every 4-feet on center, facing upward. The distribution laterals ended
in a 90-degree sweeping bend facing up, fitted with a ball valve to allow flushing of the laterals.
Additionally, inspection ports were present at each corner of the bed. On December 2, 2025, we received
confirmation that the pressurized sewer line, wye connection between the pressurized line and the gravity
line, and encasement of water line were completed and documented.
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.
