Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
147 Callicotte Ranch Drive
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT-07-17-4815
Quinn,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OW TS)
on April 20 and November 26, 2018 for the subject property. Walters Company installed the system.
The system installation included a 2000-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank with an Orenco®
ProPak and PF3005 pump in the second compartment. PVC risers were installed on the tank to bring
access to grade. The floats were set to dose approximately 80 gallons each pump cycle, allowing for
approximately 10 gallons for drain back into the tank after each pump cycle. The control panel is located
within line of sight of the septic tank. Valley Precast out of Buena Vista performed start up on the
pumping system.
A 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 pump line was installed from the pump to an Orenco® automatic
distributing valve (ADV), model 6404. The ADV was placed a high point in the system and was placed in an
insulated riser with access from grade.
Effluent is pressure dosed through 1.5-inch diameter pipes to four trenches, each with 12 ‘Quick 4’
Standard Plus Infiltrator® chambers, for a total of 48 chambers and 576 square feet of infiltrative area.
There was at least 6-feet of undisturbed soil between each trench. Effluent is pressure dosed to 1.5-inch
diameter laterals, which were hung with zip ties from the underside of the chambers. Laterals have 3/16-
inch diameter orifices facing up, with the exception of the first and last holes facing down for drainage.
Orifices were placed 3-feet on center. Each lateral ends in a 90 degree ell facing up with a ball valve for
flushing. Valves were placed in a valve box, accessible from grade, for access. Inspection ports were
placed at the beginning and end of each trench. Ports may be cut to grade and covered with a valve box
for access.
The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of
workmanship and/or parts and materials. ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified if changes are
made to the OWTS in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the county
regulations.
LIMITS: Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer must
have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in
which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent of the expertise of the installer, soil
type, and weather conditions.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
