Box 184 New Castle, CO 81647 alltecbob©gmail.com Public Health Subject: Burkett Residence OWTS Tract 8, Antlers Orchard Development Silt, CO 81652 Final Acceptance Letter OWTS Permit #: SEPT -6166 June 10, 2020 Mr. and Mrs. Burkett, 2014 Blake Avenue Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 (970) 945-6614 On May 30, 2020, we visited the property known as Tract 8 of the Antlers Orchard Development near Silt, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT -6166. The new residence was not constructed at the time of our site visit, but the new OWTS had been constructed. The sewer line and cleanout were installed before a new two compartment 1,250 -gallon poly septic tank that was installed level with access to grade and an effluent filter in the outlet tee. Effluent lines from the tank to the Soil Treatment Area (STA) were plumbed to a distribution box to distribute effluent to five chamber trenches. We noted two deficiencies during our site visit in the form of an uneven number of chambers in the trenches (one trench with 20 chambers, the other four with 19 chambers per trench) and flow equalizers were not present in the distribution box. We notified the homeowner of these deficiencies while on-site. The homeowner contacted the designer who opted to add a chamber to each of the four trenches to allow even distribution of effluent to the STA. The homeowner later provided pictures via email showing the added chambers and the flow equalizers installed in the distribution box. In our opinion, this OWTS was installed in general conformance with Garfield County OWTS Regulations. No further action or review from Garfield County Environmental Health is required in regard to this permit. Please provide an As -Built drawing of the system, once available, for our files.
