Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by K-Cronk
Engineering dated March 17, 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 one-bedroom ADU. 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 a level
manifold that will distribute effluent to 189 ft2 of STA. The dose volume from the pump shall be 48.5 gallons pumped
approximately 3 times per day. The specified pump for the project must have a minimum 26.1 gallon-per-minute pump
rate and a total dynamic head of at least 19.4 feet. The new STA will consist of a 9 ft by 21 ft chamber bed. Two feet of
secondary sand media must be installed due to type R-1 soils. The bed will consist of 3 rows of 4 ‘Quick 4’ chambers (12
chambers total). Distribution laterals are to be 1 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 1/4-inch orifices every 3 -feet on center
and the laterals ending in 90-degree sweeping bends and flushing assemblies at the distal end. The orifices are to be
facing upward, except for the last orifices (which shall face 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.
