Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
876 Buck Point Drive
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT -06-18-5294
Tom,
CBO Inc. observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) on May 21, 2020
for the subject property. Hughes Excavating installed the system.
The OWTS design was based on 3 -bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 450 GPD was used.
The sewer line exiting the residence included a double -sweep clean out and a minimum 2% grade to the
septic tank.
The system installation included a 1000 -gallon, two-compartment poly Infiltrator® septic tank with an
effluent filter on the outlet tee. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed.
Effluent gravity flows to a distribution box, and then to four gravelless chamber trenches. The distribution
box was accessible from grade had flow equalizers on each outlet pipe in the distribution box to assure
equal flow to each bed.
Each trench consisted of 14 'Quick 4' Standard Plus Infiltrator® chambers for a total of 672 square feet of
infiltrative area. There was at least 4 -feet of undisturbed soil between each trench. Inspection ports
were installed at the beginning and end of each trench. Ports may be cut to grade and placed in sprinkler
boxes for access.
The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of
workmanship and/or parts and materials. CBO Inc. 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,
CBO Inc.

Do Your Part, Be SepticSmart:
The Do's and Don'ts of Your Septic System
Learn these simple steps to protect your home, health, environment and property value:

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Do:
• Have your system inspected (in general) every three years by a licensed contractor
and have the tank pumped, when necessary, generally every three to five years.
Don't:
• Pour cooking grease or oil down the
sink or toilet.
• Rinse coffee grounds into the sink.
• Pour household chemicals down the
sink or flush them.
Do:
• Eliminate or limit the use of a garbage
disposal.
• Properly dispose of coffee grounds a
food.
• Put grease in a container to harden
before discarding in the trash.
Don't:
• Flush non -degradable products or
chemicals, such as feminine hygiene
products, condoms, dental floss,
diapers, cigarette butts, cat litter, paper
towels, pharmaceuticals.
Do:
• Dispose of these items in the trash can!
Don't:
• Park or drive on your drainfield. The
weight can damage the drain lines.
• Plant trees or shrubs too close to your
drainfield, roots can grow into your
system and clog it.
Do:
• Consult a septic service professional to
advise you of the proper distance for
planting trees and shrubs, depending on
your septic tank location.
Don't
• Concentrate your water use by using
your dishwasher, shower, washing
machine, and toilet at the same time.
All that extra water can really strain
your septic system.
Do:
• Stagger the use of water -generating
appliances. This can be helpful
especially if your system has not been
pumped in a long time.
• Become more water efficient by fixing
plumbing leaks and consider installing
bathroom and kitchen faucet aerators
and water -efficient products.
