Parcel lD'. 2392-123-00-300 lndividual Sewage Disposal System Permit 1035 was provided by Garfield County Community Development Dðpartment. Th-e subject OWTS consists of one 1250-gallon, two-compartment Copeland .on.rui" septic tånk followed by a pipe and gravel soil treatment area (STA) The suggested size was 12,x45' x i,deep or 1B'x 30'i 3'deep; however, the actualsize is notdocumented in the permitting information. The system was sized to accommodate a 4-bedroom residence. The permit was finalized on August B, 1981. Both septic tank lids had been uncovered and risers were added for access from grade. This septic tank has builtin concrete baffles rather than sanitary tees, so it is not possible to add an effluent filter, which is typically our recommendation for existing systems. Liquid levels in the septic tank were normal at the time of our insPection. We assume the STA is located just north of the septic tank, paralleling the hillside and possibly extending under the driveway. The size oi tne stn is documented by Garfield County as 540 square feet, with 3- iáet of gravel below the distribution piping (defined as a "deep gravel" system). We walked the approximate STA and found no evidence of surface saturation or failure at the time of our inspection. l'nis evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. A water meter was installed on the water line serving the restroom by Ray's Pumps (specifications enclosed) to more accurately monitor water usage that will enter the OWTS. We recommend keeping a minimum of weekly water mete, readings from this meter. lf meter readings exceed 350 GPD, we should be noti¡ed. As noied in our January lg, ZOIB letter, the OWTS is documented to have capacity to handle 600 GpD, but the change in use warrants monitoring use and condition of the OWTS. Disclaimer: This inspection is intended only as an evaluation of the present condition of the OWTS óased upon what was observed and the Licensed lnspector's experfrse in onsite wastewater techrrclogy. The tnsþector has not been retained to warrant or guarantee the proper functioning of the system for any period of time in tlrc fufurc. Becausë of numercus facfors whiclt ntay affect the operation of an OWTS, as well as the inability of the lnspector to supervrse or monitor the use or maintenance of this OWTS, this repoft shall not be construed as a warranty by the lnspector that the sysfem will function properly for any pafticular prospective buyer, and the lnspector disclaims any warranty, either exprcssed or intplied, arising from the inspection of the OWTS or this report. The evaluation does not asce¡tain the impact the sysfem is having on groundwater.

The subject OWTS consists of one 1250-gallon, two-compartment Copeland concreie septic tank followed by a pipe and gravel soil treatment area (STA). The suggested size was 12' x 45'x i' deep or 18' x 30' x 3' deep; however, the actual size is not documented in the permitting information. The system was sized to accommodate a 4-bedroom residence. The permit was finalized on August 8, 1981. The septic tank is located on the north side of the barn. We did not observe a clean out between the barn and the septic tank. The inlet side of the septic tank was accessible approximately 6-inches below grade. The outlet side was buried and had to be uncovered for our inspection. No risers were ever ãOO"O to this side of the septic tank. Four feet of risers will be added to the outlet side of the septic tank for access. We were able to verify the built-in concrete baffle on the inlet side of the septic tank. The outlet baffle will be verified as soon as the lid can be removed. It appeared that liquid levels in the septic tank were normal at the time of our inspection. We will be able to verify as $oon as the outlet lid is removed. The septic tank was last pr.rmped by B&R Septic in May of 2014, We will make additional recommendations and complete the inspection once the outlet side of the septlc tank ie observed. There are no inspection ports in the STA. The exact location is not known. lf exact location is required by Garfield County, a camera will need to be utilized to identify the location of the manifold. We assume the STA is located just north of the septic tank, paralleling the hillside and possibly extending under the driveway. The size of the STA is documented by Garfield County as 540 square feet, with 3-feet of gravel U'etow the distribution piping (defined as a "deep gravel" system).
