Subsurface lnvestigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
4-Bedroom Addition to Existing 1-Bedroom Cabin
477 CR 112
Garfield County, Colorado
Mike,
CBO lnc. performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater treatment system
(OWTS) design for the subject residence. The 6.645-acre property is located outside of Carbondale, in
an area where OWTSs and wells are necessary.
Legal Description: Section: 23 Township: 7 Range: 88 A TR lN NWSE SEC 23
Parcel lD: 2393-234-00-361
SITE CONDITIONS
A 1-bedroom cabin and detached garage with a toilet exist on the property. A 4-bedroom addition is
proposed between the two existing structures. The existing OWTS will be abandoned.
There are several septic permits available online associated with this property. One from 1981, one from
1987, and another from 1992. The existing septic tank sits between the two structures and will be
removed, and the existing soil treatment area (STA)will be abandoned in place.
The residence will be served by a private well on the property located to the north of the existing
structures. The water line enters the back (north side) of the structures and will not come with in 25-feet
of any OWTS component
An irrigation ditch bisects the property from northeast to southwest. The irrigation ditch is placed in a 24-
inch diameter culvert nearly at the ground surface. The new sewer line will cross the irrigation ditch
UNDER the culvert. The sewer line must be encased at least 10-feet on each side of the crossing (See
Encasement Detail W4.0/1 ).
The proposed STA location has an approximate ten percent slope to the southeast. The proposed area
is vegetated with native grasses and sage.
There should be no traffic or staging of material over the future STA site to avoid compaction of soils
prior to construction of the STA.

SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on June 22,2021 by digging two soil profile test pit excavat¡ons (Test Pits)
A visual and tactile soil analysis was completed by Carla Ostberg at the time of excavation.l
The materials encountered in Test Pit #1 consisted of dark brown topsoil to 1.O-foot, underlain by tan
calcareous clay matrix to a maximum depth explored of 7.O{eet. No bedrock or groundwater was
encountered.
The materials encountered in Test Pit #2 were similar to those encountered in Test Pit #1. The test pit
was excavated to a maximum depth explored of 7.O-feet. No groundwater or bedrock was encountered.
A sample of the soil was taken from Test Pit #1 at 3-feet below grade. Soil structure grade was
moderate. A sieved sample of the soil formed a ball and a ribbon less than 1-inch in length before
breaking. Soil structure shape was blocky and consistence was friable to firm. Soil texture was more
gritty than smooth.
STA sizing is based on Soil fype 2 with moderate structure grade. A long term acceptance rate
(LTAR) of 0.6 gallons per square foot will be used to design the OWTS'
View of test pits from deck of existing cabin
' Carla Ostberg holds a Certificate of Attendance and Examination from the CPOW Visual and Tactile
Evaluation of Soils Training.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
The existing septic tank will be pumped and removed. The existing STA will be abandoned in place.
Desiqn Calculations:
Average Design Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 3 Bedrooms + 150 GPD (4th and Sth Bedrooms) =
600 GPD
LTAR = 0.6 GPD/SF
600 GPD / 0.6 GPD/SF x 1.0 (gravity trenches) x 0.7 (chambers) = 700 SF
The OWTS design is based on S-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 600 GPD will be used
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation at grade 6820' (finished floor of existing
cabin) has been established as 100'. The sewer line will exit the cabin at approximately 9B'. CBO lnc.
should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with grade elevations of proposed components
during installation of the OWTS.
*Elevations are based upon standard OWTS installation practices. Component elevations may change during
installation due to site conditions.
OWTS Component Minimum Elevation
Primary Tank lnlet lnvert Approx. horizontal distance 61' from garage and
51'from cabin / min.2o/o fall to septic tank / min.
15.25" fall and 12.75" fall respectively
Distribution Box Approx. horizontal distance 52' I min. 1% fall lo
distribution box / min. 6.25" fall
lnfiltrative Surface Approx. horizontal distance to closest trench 5' /
min 1o/o fall/ min. 0.625" fall
Page 5
Elevations should be shot in advance of component installation to allow the sewer line between
the septic tank and distribution box to cross under irrigation ditch at approximately 3' below
native grade, with the sewer line extending at the minimum 1o/o fall beyond the irrigation ditch to
maintain a shallow installation of the STA.
The sewer line exiting the cabin and the garage must have a double-sweep clean out and a minimum 2%
grade to the septic tank. The sewer line from the garage should enter the sewer line from the cabin with
a "wye" fitting just before the septic tank.
The system installation must include a 15OO-gallon, two-compartment lnfiltrator@ poly septictankwith an
effluent filter on the outlet tee. Risers must bring the manhole lids to grade for access. lf more than one
riser is added to the septic tank, an extension handle must be installed on the effluent filter.
Effluent will gravity flow to a distribution box, and then to four gravelless chamber trenches. The
distribution box must be accessible from grade and must have flow equalizers, or similar product,
installed on each outlet pipe in the distribution box to assure equal flow to each bed.
Each trench will consist of 15'Quick 4'Standard Plus lnfiltrator@ chambers for a total of 60 chambers
and 720 square feet of infiltrative area. There must be at least 4-feet of undisturbed soil between each
trench. lnspection ports must be installed at the beginning and end of each trench. Ports may be cut to
grade and placed in sprinkler boxes for access.
COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS
The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area.
CBO lnc. must approve alternative components prior to installation of the OWTS. Requests must
be submitted, in writing, to our office for approval prior to installation. Component technical data
sheets are available upon request.
Construction must be according to Garfield County On-Site Wastewater Treatment System Regulations, the
OWTS Permit provided by Garfield County Building Department, and this design.
¡NSTALLATION CONTRACTOR
CBO lnc. expects that the installer be experienced and qualified to perform the scope of work outlined in this
design. The installer must review this design thoroughly and coordinate with our office in advance of
installation. Any additional conditions in this design or county permit must be completed and documented
prior to final approval of the OWTS installation. Communication between the installer and this office is
expected throughout the installation.

I NSTALLATION OBSERVATIONS
CBO lnc. must view the OWTS during construction. The OWTS observation should be performed before
backfill, after placement of OWTS components. Septic tanks, distribution devices, pumps, dosing
siphons, and other plumbing, as applicable, must also be observed. CBO lnc. should be notified 48 hours
in advance to observe the installation.
ln an effort to improve the accuracy of the record drawing, we request that the installer provide a
sketch of the installation, including path of the sewer lines, water line installation (if applicable),
septic tank location, STA location, and measurements from building corners or another fixed
objects on the property. This sketch is most easily provided on Sheet W2.0 of the OWTS Design
Packet. Photographs of the installation and final cover are also requested to supplement our installation
documentation.
REVEGETATION REQU IREMENTS
An adequate layer of good quality topsoil capable of supporting revegetation shall be placed over the entire
disturbed area of the OWTS installation. A mixture of native grass seed that has good soil stabilizing
characteristics (but without taproots), provides a maximum transpiration rate, and competes well with
successional species. No trees or shrubs, or any vegetation requiring regular irrigation shall be placed over
the STA. Until vegetation is reestablished, erosion and sediment control measures shall be implemented
and maintained on site. The owner of the OWTS shall be responsible for maintaining proper vegetation
cover.
OPERATION INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE
The property owner shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of each OWTS servicing the
property. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service contracts for manufactured units,
alternating STAs, and any other components needing maintenance.
Geo-fabrics or plastics should not be used over the STA. No heavy equipment, machinery, or materials
should be placed on the backfilled STA. Machines with tracks (not wheels) should be used during
construction of the STA for better weight distribution. Livestock should not graze on the STA. Plumbing
fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additional water is being discharged to OWTS. For example, a
running toilet or leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm a STA.
lf an effluent filter or screen has been installed in the OWTS, we recommend this filter or screen be cleaned
annually, or as needed. lf the OWTS consists of a pressurized pump system, we recommend the laterals be
flushed annually, or as needed.
The homeowner should pump the septic tank every two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of
solids in the tank. Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non-biodegradable materials should not
be placed into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in household drains. Loading from a water softener
should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the OWTS.
Mechanical room drains should not discharge into the OWTS. The OWTS is engineered for domestic waste
only.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES
lf design includes a pump, weep holes must be installed to allow pump lines to drain to minimize risk of
freezing. The pump shall have an audible and visual alarm notification in the event of excessively high
water conditions and shall be connected to a control breaker separate from the high water alarm breaker
and from any other control system circuits. The pump system shall have a switch so the pump can be
manually operated.
PageT
Excavation equipment must not drive in excavation of the STA due to the potential to compact soil.
Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components to allow access to them from existing grade.
Backfill over the STA must be uniform and granular with no material greater than minus 3-inch.
LIMITS:
The design ís based on information submitted. lf soil conditions encountered are different from conditions
described in report, CBO lnc. should be notified. All OWTS construction must be according to the county
regulations. Requirements not specified in this report must follow applicable county regulations. The
contractor should have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of
the county in which they are working. Licensing of Systems Contractors may be required by county
regulation.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
CBO lnc.
