Application for Repair of ISDS Dear Ron: I I 8 W 6TH, SUITE: 200 GLENWOOD SPRI~GS, CO 6 I 60 I 9 70·94 5· I 004 FX 970·945·5948 ASPEN PO BOX 2155 ASPEN, CO 81612 970·925·6727 l"RC TED
E;l TT[ P 0 BOX 3088 970-:349·5355 F)( 970·925·4157 f"X 970·349·5358 This is to transmit an application for the repair of the above-referenced ISDS system. This is to also follow up
on conversations and correspondence I have had with both yourself and Steve Hackett over the last several months concerning our involvement in finding a solution to the problems with
the system earlier this year. By way of history, it was determined last spring that liquid, either effluent or raw sewage, from the northerly or leach field A of the Sopris RV Park was
being discharged to the surface. The owners of the Sopris RV Park, Stanley and Valeria Koziel, took immediate steps to address the problem. This office was contacted to assist them in
analyzing the situation. The Koziel's also immediately decreased the water usage in the RV park. Since the original discharge was noted, I have been on site approximately six different
times. At no time has there been additional discharge of liquid to the ground surface and, therefore, there has been no additional potential negative impact to the public health of either
the residents of the RV park of other persons using the property. After investigation alternatives, it has been concluded that the likely cause of the discharge was excessive use of
water within the RV park and physical damage to the disposal field, both of which resulted in an overloading of the disposal field. Please note that we also revisited the possibility
of connecting the Sopris RV Park to the Town of Carbondale wastewater treatment facility. The Town was not actually contacted. While the RV park is located directly across the Roaring
Fork River from the wastewater treatment facility, the Sopris RV Park ISDS system itself is located some 500 horizontal feet from the wastewater plant. From a practical standpoint, connection
would actually require on the order of 1500 feet of line to be laid, including a river crossing of the Roaring Fork River. It becomes apparent that that alternative is cost prohibitive
for this property. Attached is an application form for the repair as well as a $50 permit fee. It is the intent of the owners to totally remove the existing disposal field and replace
it in place. Therefore, it is not possible to do percolation tests at the site. Also attached hereto is the packet, which was prepared by the Garfield County Planning Department for
the Board of County Commissioners meeting on July 17, 1995. In that packet is a report prepared by Enartech dated December 21, 1994, which provides the technical information required
in the pemnit form. That report lists the design flows, has a site plan attached and provides a typical detail for leach field A Please note that leach field A is 2304 square feet and
receives pumped effluent from a series of septic tanks. l.\2005\2005-39617-26-Q511r lo Vanmeter doc

in three test holes were 24 mpi, 27 mpi and 95 mpi. If you require additional information, please make that request directly with the Koziel's. I will assist \hem in providing such information
as necessary. Respectfully submitted, SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC. DWG:Iec\2005-396.001 Attachments cc: Stanley and Valerie Koziel. w/o attachments I \2005\2005-396\7-25-05 Hr ~o V~IYT}e!er
