Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by CBO
Inc dated July 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 a new four-bedroom residence. The OWTS components will consist of a new 1,500-gallon
two compartment septic tank set level with access to grade. The second compartment of the tank shall house
a new screened high-head pump. The dose volume from the pump shall be 71 gallons pumped ~7 times per
day. The specified pump for the project must achieve a minimum 32.5 gallon-per-minute pump rate and a total
dynamic head of 26.8 feet. Effluent will be dosed from the pump chamber to an Automatic Distributing Valva
(ADV) set at the high point of the system to distribute effluent to 810 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of
two 10 ft by 40.5 ft unlined sand filter beds, consisting of at least 2 feet of secondary sand media overlain by
perforated distribution laterals placed in GeoMat distribution media. The basal area (foot print) of the sand
must extend 6-feet down slope of the edge of the GeoMat distribution media. Separating distance between on
gradient mounds must be 30-feet. Distribution laterals are to be 1 ½ inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 5/32-inch
orifices every 2.5-feet on center facing downwards with orifice shields. Each lateral is to end in a flushing valve
at the distal end. The residual head (squirt height) at the end of the system is to be 5-feet. The lower
infiltrative surface shall be at 2-foot below natural grade and final cover will be mounded to reach
approximately 1 ft of soil over the distribution laterals and sloped at a 3:1 ratio from the top of the mound to
the native grade. Inspection ports are to be installed at each corner of each bed. 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.
