Based upon the drawings submitted to SGM, we understand that the design of the ISDS will be for a 4- bedroom home. The on -site soils investigation was conducted by the Garfield County Building Department and we have been informed that the percolation rate for design of this system is 24 mpi. The soils investigation did not identify the presence of groundwater or bedrock within the upper eight feet of soil at the site for the disposal field. Based upon the percolation test results and the soil observations reported, it appears that a standard leach field system can be installed on the site. This, of course, assumes that the setback requirements can be met in accordance to Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment ( CDOPHE) regulations. Accordingly, we have attached a table from the CDOPHE , ISDS regulations which identify the required setbacks for each component of the septic system installed. The proposal for disposal of effluent from the septic system for this site considers the use of a standard drywell -type construction. To briefly describe the septic system as a whole, it is proposed to collect the effluent from the main waste line from the house in a 1250 gallon septic tank. Please note that this 1250 gallon concrete septic tank does have alternative installations available. These alternative installations can be considered, considering the fact that no evidence of high groundwater is present. The alternative installations that can be considered with this type of septic tank is that of a fiberglass septic tank, also equal to 1250 gallons. We have not provided information as to a specific manufacturer product line for the fiberglass septic tank. Please note that the septic tank must be located at least five feet away from the residence. In addition, the effluent line leaving the house and going to the septic tank must be straight in alignment and straight in grade. If it is deemed necessary that any changes in the alignment and /or grade in this main line from June 26, 1998 Mr. Gary Belk Page 2 the house to the septic tank is required, a cleanout will be necessary to accompany the installation. This main line from the house must be a minimum specification ASTM 2729 PVC pipe of minimal 4" diameter. The grade of the pipe must be at a minimum of '/ " per foot. If it becomes necessary that the main line must cross a traveled area (i.e., a vehicular access), we would then recommend that the pipe specification increase in strength to no longer utilize an ASTM 2729 designation but, rather, use a Schedule 40 PVC. To compensate for differential settling between the septic tank and the incoming and outgoing piping, we would recommend that the piping coming into and leaving the septic tank be sleeved in a 6" diameter cast iron pipe or Schedule 40 PVC. Once the effluent line leaves the septic tank, it will need to proceed towards the drywell construction at a minimum of '/" per foot grade. Again, the minimum diameter of this pipe would need to be 4" in diameter. We would recommend that, from this point to the drywell system, location of the drywell system and piping be coordinated such that no vehicular access is allowed over the piping or the disposal field. Additionally, with this recommendation, we would then maintain that the ASTM 2729 PVC piping be utilized. For the drywell system itself, we would recommend that the system be installed in a configuration identified on the attached sketches. The closest that the drywell excavation can be to the residence is 25 feet. Please note that the drywell must be installed in native, unexcavated material, not in fill. As mentioned throughout this report, a number of attachments are included with this report. Please find the following list which specifically identifies the attachments in order: 1. Calculations of leach field and septic system sizing. 2. Table of minimum horizontal setbacks. 3. Schematic plan view of septic system installation. 4. Drywell installation plan. 5. Drywell installation section. Some general notes that must be mentioned regarding any septic system installation are as follows: 1. All materials, installation practices and setback requirements shall comply with Garfield County ISDS Regulations. 2. The drywell excavation (and gravel area) must be constructed so that the bottom of the excavation is ± 0.1". Place the drywell in natural ground, no portion of the drywell shall be placed in fill. Once backfilled, provide positive drainage away from the drywell. SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC. June 26, 1998 Mr. Gary Belk Page 3 3. The area disturbed by construction shall be reseeded by native grasses to prevent erosion. 4. Use risers as needed to bring the septic tank hatches (both hatches) within 6" of finish grade. 5. Locate the septic tank such that the access to the tank can be accommodated for future pumping (both hatches). 6. The Contractor and Owner shall take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that (a) the sewerline and septic tank are completely water -tight to prevent infiltration of groundwater into the system, and (b) the system is installed to prevent freezing of the gravity sewerlines. 7. The Engineer and Garfield County Building Department shall be notified when construction commences and be kept abreast of the construction progress so that sufficient inspections can be performed to assure conformance with this report. 8. It is the Contractor's responsibility to verify all locations of utilities and setbacks that may be affected by the installation of the septic system. Verification of all utility locations shall be made with the appropriate utility company. Any and all easements required to be secured for the installation of the septic system shall be obtained by the Contractor and /or Owner as they relate to adjacent utility easements. 9. Substitution of materials (i.e., pipe, tanks, etc.) is acceptable, provided verification and acceptance by the Engineer and the Garfield County Building Department is made. As you can gather from reading this report, we are leaving the specifics (i.e., exact location, grades and elevation) of the installation of the system up to the Contractor and /or Owner. It is important to note, however, that the location of the septic system must be provided in the same general location of that identified in the boring logs and /or soils percolation test hole locations. In essence, if the general location of the system is to be located on a site different than where the percolation tests were performed, verification of the percolation rates must be made by SGM or Garfield County prior to final installation of the drywell. If it is determined that the information as provided is not of sufficient detail for your Contractor and /or yourself to construct the system, please notify us immediately and we can provide a detailed construction plan for the system. To accommodate such a detailed construction plan, SGM would have to coordinate with yourself collection of detailed topography in the area of the proposed septic system. SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC. June 26, 1998 Mr. Gary Belk Page 4 Aside from the comments just made, I hope this information is of sufficient detail to accommodate your needs in installing the septic system.
