Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
1212 Panorama Drive Carbondale, CO 81623
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT-09-17-4928
Tara,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS)
on December 15, 2017 and June 27, 2019 for the subject property. We also conducted several site visits
since the installation. AML Construction installed the system.
The system was sized to accommodate 3 bedrooms in the caretaker dwelling unit (CDU) and 4
bedrooms in a future main house. A design flow of 975 gallons/day was used to design the system.
A separate Septic Permit will need to be obtained from Garfield County prior to installing a septic tank for
the main house.
The minimum 50-feet setback from the ditch to the soil treatment area (STA) was verified.
The system installation included a 1500-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank with an Orenco®
ProPak and PF3005 pump in the second compartment. There is a filter in the second compartment
of this septic tank which must be cleaned annually, or as needed. The floats were set to dose
approximately 80 gallons each pump cycle. The control panel is located within line of sight of the septic
tank. Jerry Fleck performed start-up of 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 6605. This pump line has a minimum 1% grade for proper drain back into the
tank after each pump cycle. The ADV is located at 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 five trenches, each with 19 ‘Quick 4’
Standard Infiltrator® chambers, for a total of 95 chambers and 1140 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 5/32-
inch diameter orifices facing up, with the exception of the first and last holes facing down for drainage.
Orenco® Orifice Shields were placed under each downward-facing orifice. The 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,
