See below for additional information . All applications are requ ired to be submitted in person . PERMIT APPLICATION & SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: • Complete application. • 1 Copy of a Site Plan that includes well , all streams, irrigation ditches, and any water courses. Draw in your house, septic tank & system, detached garages, and driveway. If a change of location is necessary, you must submit a corrected drawing. • Engineered System will need copy of perk rate and design for our records prior to final inspection. FEES. FEES ARE NOT REFUNDABLE Make Check payable to: "Garfield County Treasurer" • Septic Permit for a New installation ...................................................... $73.00 • Septic Permit for alteration and/or repair ............................................... $73 .00 • Septic Perk test .............................................................................. $100 .00 ATTACHMENTS • Percolation Test Instructions • Recommended minimum requirements for Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS). FINAL INSPECTION • When all components are in place, co nnected and ready to cover, req uest a final inspection by the County Inspector. • DO NOT backfill any part of the system prior to the inspection . • The initial fee covers the percolation test and one ( 1) inspection before cov er up. Any additional percolation t est will be charg ed at $100 .00 each and additional inspections will be charged at $50.00 each. • Upon final approval, carefully cover the entire system . • Engineered Systems are inspected by the Engineer prior to backfill . A final sealed letter by the Engineer is required to be submitted to Garfield County. PERCOLATION TEST INSTRUCTIONS • The successful operation of your septic system depends on the rate the soil in which your leach field will be installed will accept water. • THIS IS CRITICAL If instructions are not followed completely, technician may not do the perk test and you will be charge a $50.00 fee for 2"d visit. • The rate of absorption is called the percolation rate and it determines the size of the leach field needed for a particular flow of sewage and in some cases even determines the feasibility of the installation of a septic tank and leach field system . • PERCOLATION TEST MUST BE DONE AT THE GROUND DEPTH WHERE ABSORPTION WILL TAKE PLACE. STANDARD LEACH FIELDS ARE INSTALLED THREE FEET DEEP, SO THE 3 PERCOLATION HOLES ARE DUG FOUR FEET DEEP, AT LEAST 20 FEET APART , IN A TRIANGLE SHAPE. THE PERCOLATION TEST IS DONE IN THE BOTTOM ONE (1) FOOT OF THE HOLE . ~I Post Hole i'i\').11 "'pa---- 1 I I I I I l)~i1~-iiii-1 -w-~~-, ~ ...... I clttP J \./ --- (o~) Backhoe Hole '-'>(.\"\t( 11 1~11 fo11 11 J \ .... _gtt.f .. J. --- ~' A posthole digger, auger or backhoe can be used to dig the percolation test holes . If a back hoe is used , dig the backhoe hole 3 feet deep, with 2 steps or a ramp . Put a test hole 1-foot deep and 8 to 12 inches in diameter in the bottom . Installation of absorption areas (i.e. drywells) deeper than three 3 feet require the permission of the Environmental Health Department. All dry wells shall be designed by an Engineer registered in the State of Colorado . Saturation with water will affect the percolation rate, and since the system will be expected to operate when the soil is saturated with water, THE LOWER TEST HOLE MUST BE FILLED WITH WATER AT LEAST 8 HOURS BEFORE THE TEST AND ALLOWED TO STAND. More water will be needed to perform the percolation test, so AT LEAST 5 GALLONS OF WATER PER HOLE SHOULD BE ON HAND WHEN THE TEST IS PERFORMED . AN 8 FOOT PROFILE HOLE IN THE LEACH FIELD AREA IS REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF COLORADO TO DETERMINE THE PROXIMITY OF GROUND WATER AND BEDROCK. (One soil profile hole shall be dug to provide observation of the soil profile of the area of the soil absorption system. The hole shall be prepared at least 8 feet deep. The hole may be terminated when ground water or bedrock is encountered . The hole shall be prepared in such a way as to provide identification of the soil profile 4 feet below the bottom of the soil absorption system .) If ground water is found in any perk or profile hole, an engineered systems is required. Percolation rates faster than 5 minutes per inch or slower than 60 minutes per inch require engineered system and/ or Board of Health approval. (Applicant's Copy) RECOMMENDED MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR INDIVIDUAL SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS llSDS) Before construction is started, the Inspector must be contacted for approval and detailed information concerning the proposed disposal system is needed . Higher standards than those wh ich follow may be required in individual cases to assure attainment of the objective . Those objectives are to locate, construct and maintain indiv idual sewage disposal systems in such a manne r that existing or contemplated water supp lies will not become co nta minated and so that sewage will not overflow the ground surface and result in a nuisance or health hazard . LIQUID CAPACITY OF TANK (GALLONS) (Provide for use of garbage grinder, automatic clothes washer and other water us in g household appliances). Number of Bedrooms Recommended Minimum Tank Caoacitv 2 or less 750 gallons __ 3 or less 1,000 gallo ns ~ 4 or less l 1,250 qallons For each additional bedroom, add ' 250 qallons I Dwe lli ng on less th an two acres, areas of high water tables, or areas with a percolati on test rate faste r than 1" in 5 minutes must have alternative sewage facilities, i.e ., central collection , holding tanks , individual treatment, etc . EXEMPTION: Abso rption areas may be allowed with percolation rates faster than one (1) inch in five (5) minutes provided the soil is a sandy texture and no water table problems are encountered. An Engineer is required . Slopes gre ater than 30% also require an Engineered System . 1. Ma ximum lenqth of drainaqe line : I 100 lin ea r feet 2. Minimu m width of drainaqe trench: I 18 inches 3. Minimum spacinq between trenches or pipes : ; 6 feet 4. Maximum qrade of drainaoe system: I As level a~ossib l e 5. Minimum depth rock under dra in PVC : I 6" under PVC, 2" over PVC 6.

Minimum distance from septic tank and disposal field to property lines: f10teet for drywell i 10 feet for leach field . 15 . Minim um sewer pipe and distribution pioe : I 4 in ch diameter Septic tank const ruction should be of conc rete , conc rete block or of a materia l that will resist dete riora tion and which ca n be made reasonable watertight. • Acceptable drain field pipe mat eri als include plastic, terr acotta or co ncrete . If th e house sewe r lin e is longer than 10 feet betwee n house and septic tank, a clean-out Y should _b e installed ou tside as near as prac tical to the house . • Septic tanks should be inspected once a year and cleaned when necessary. Cleaning is recommended when space between the scum accum ulat ion and sludge residue on the tank bottom is less th an eig hteen (18) inches . • The Department recommends pumping a septic tank once every fo ur (4) years, when a yea rly inspection by the owner is not practical.
