OWTS Permit #: SEPT-9083
April 8, 2026
On April 8, 2026, we visited the residence at 5651 County Road 100 near Carbondale in Garfield County, Colorado
to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-9083. The system was designed by Black
Canyon Engineers and installed by Smith Mountain Builders. The system had been backfilled prior to a final
inspection by Garfield County Public Health (GCPH), in violation of Section 43.4.E.1 of the Garfield County OWTS
Regulation. As such, GCPH issued a Notice of Violation to you, the property owner, on March 9, 2026. We received
an as-built drawing of the constructed system and a letter certifying that the system was constructed in
compliance with the permitted design from the OWTS designer dated August 13, 2025.
During our inspection and via photographs submitted by the designer and contractor, we observed the new sewer
line and cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new concrete 1,500-gallon two-compartment septic tank, the
distribution box, and the Soil Treatment Area (STA). The septic tank and distribution box were installed level with
access brought to grade. The STA consisted of three gravelless chamber trenches, consisting of 24 Quick4
chambers per trench (72 chambers total, 864 ft2 total STA). Additionally, inspection ports were present at each end
of each trench.
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. This final acceptance letter of the
installed OWTS also RESOLVES the Notice of Violation issued to you, the property owner, on March 9, 2026.
Thank you,
