Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by K-Cronk Engineering dated May 1, 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 an existing two-bedroom duplex. The new sewer line will tie into the existing
sewer line with a cleanout. All existing sewer line that will remain in use must be found in good
working order or replaced. The OWTS components will consist of a new 1,000-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. The existing septic
tank must be abandoned per GCPH OWTS regulation by crushing or removal. Effluent will gravity
flow to a new distribution box set level with access to grade which will distribute effluent to 432 ft 2
of STA. The new STA will consist of three gravelless chamber trenches consisting of 12 ‘Quick 4’
chambers per trench for a total of 36 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.
