Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with scope of work and site plan as
submitted by Boundaries Unlimited dated February 6, 2026. Changes to the design and permit must
be approved by Garfield County Public Health prior to construction.
The new OWTS will serve an existing five-bedroom residence and new three-bedroom Accessory
Dwelling Unit (ADU). A new two-way cleanout, within 5 feet of the ADU and a new 1,500-gallon
three compartment septic tank set level with access to grade with a screened high-head pump in the
third compartment of the tank will be installed adjacent to the ADU. Effluent will be pumped to a
new 30” diameter enclosure with a tee manifold and check valve level with access to grade will then
connect to the existing automatic distributing valve which will distribute effluent to 1,050 ft2 of STA.
The new STA area will consist of the existing 900 ft2 of existing STA (5 gravelless trenches with 12
chambers per trench) plus two additional chambers added to the distal ends of each trench.
Distribution lines shall also be extended and shall consist of 2” Schedule 40 PVC hung from the
underside of the chambers with flushing valves at the distal end, with 3/16” diameter orifices drilled
every 4 feet, facing up. The first and last orifice on each lateral shall be drilled facing down, to allow
drainage of the lines. The final STA configuration shall consist of five trenches of 14 ‘ARC 36’
chambers (70 chambers total). Inspection ports from the existing STA shall remain. New inspection
ports shall be installed at the distal ed of each trench. Maintain all setbacks and elevations as
designed.
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.
