Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by BJJ Double J Engineering dated February 16, 2026 revised March 20, 2026. Changes to
the design and permit must be approved by Garfield County Public Health and the designer prior to
construction.
The OWTS will serve a new four-bedroom residence. The OWTS components will consist of a new
1,250-gallon two compartment septic tank set level with access to grade and an effluent filter
installed in the outlet tee of the tank. The tank must be on the CDPHE list of approved septic tanks.
Effluent will gravity flow to a new distribution box set level with access to grade which will distribute
effluent to 768 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of four gravelless chamber trenches consisting of
16 ‘Quick 4’ chambers per trench for a total of 64 chambers. Inspection ports will 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.
