Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by CBO Inc dated
March 5, 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 four-bedroom residence. The system will consist of an existing two-compartment 1,500-gallon
septic tank with access at grade that has been found to be in good condition. All sewer lines must be found in good
working order or replaced. A new double sweep cleanout will be installed in the existing sewer line prior to the existing
septic tank. A new screened high-head pump will be housed in a 500-gallon single-compartment pump chamber
downstream from the septic tank. The dose volume from the pump shall be 71 gallons pumped ~7 times per day. The
specified pump for the project must have a minimum 28.6 gallon-per-minute pump rate and a total dynamic head of 23
feet. Effluent will be pumped via a 1.5 inch pressure transport line to an ADV at the high point of the system that will
distribute effluent to 624 ft2 of STA. The infiltrative surface must be installed no deeper than 2.5 feet below native grade
to provide adequate separation from R-0 soils beginning at 6.5 ft below native grade. The new STA will consist of two 6
ft by 52 ft chamber beds. Each bed will consist of 2 rows of 13 ‘ARC 36’ chambers (52 chambers total). Distribution laterals
are to be 1 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 5/32-inch orifices every 2.5 -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 upward, except for the last orifices
(which shall face downward and be equipped with orifice shields). Inspection ports are to be installed in each corner of
each bed. 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.
