Subsurface lnvestigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
4-Bedroom Residence
130 Flying Fish Road
Garfield County, Colorado
Riley,
CBO lnc. performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater treatment system
(OWTS) design for the subject residence. The 5.67-acre property is located outside of Carbondale, in an
area where OWTSs and wells are necessary.
Legal Description: Section: 32 Township: 7 Range: 87 TR lN LOTS I & 18 5.67 ACRES
Parcel lD: 239132100013
SITE CONDITIONS
A 3-bedroom, single-family residence presently exists. The residence is served by an existing OWTS.
The subject OWTS consists of one 1500-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank followed by a soil
treatment area (STA) comprised of an Evapotranspirationl (ET) Bed. lndividual Sewage Disposal
System (ISDS) Permit 2522 documents replacement of the septic tank. The permit received final
approval on November 20, 1995. The ET Bed is likely original to the construction of the house, which his
noted on the Garfield County Assessor's Website as 1977. There is no information on the ET bed with
respect to size or location. ISDS Permil2522 notes the system was sized to accommodate a 3- bedroom
residence; however, the septic tank is large enough to serve up to 5 bedrooms. The OWTS was
inspected in January 2021 and the STA showed signs of saturation and failure.
The residence will undergo a remodel that will result in 4 total bedrooms. The existing OWTS will be
abandoned and replaced with the system outlined in this design.
The residence will be served by the existing well on the property. The well is located to the north of the
residence. The well is greater than 5O-feet from the proposed septic tank and sewer lines and greater
than 1OO{eet from the proposed STA.
The proposed mounded STA is located to the north of the residence. The mounded STA will be built into
an existing berm. The area is vegetated with native grasses.
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.
1 An Evapotranspiration Bed typically has a liner under the infiltrative area and relies solely on
evapotranspiration of wastewater through the vegetation and grasses.

SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on Apr¡l 29i 2022 by digging two soil profile test pit excavations (Test Pits).
A visual and tactile soil analysis was completed by Carla Ostberg at the time of excavation.2
The materials encountered in Test Pit #l consisted of dark brown moist, organic topsoil to 2.O-feet,
underlain by gray, very moist sand and cobbles to a maximum depth explored of 4.O-feet where
grou ndwater was encountered.
The materials encountered in Test Pit #2 consisted of dark brown moist, organic topsoil to 3.O-feet,
underlain by gray, very moist sand and cobbles to a maximum depth explored of 4.O-feet where
grou ndwater was encountered.
A sample of the topsoil was taken from Test Pit #1 at 2-feet below grade. Topsoil structure was
moderate. The soilformed a ball and a ribbon approximately 1-inch in length before breaking. Soil
structure shape was blocky and consistence was friable. Soiltexture was both gritty and smooth.
Topsoil is classified as Soil Type 2, Loam with moderate structure grade. Soils below topsoil are
classified as Soil Type R-0. High seasonal groundwater is estimated at 1.0-foot below grade ín the area
of the proposed STA. The proposed STA is a mounded, pressure-dosed sand filter beginning 1.O-foot
below native grade. The mounded sand filter will consist of 3-feet of Secondary Sand. A long term
acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.8 gallons per square foot will be used to design the OWTS.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
The existing septic tank will be abandoned by pumping the tank and removing it or crushing the top,
bottom, and sides and filling in the void with onsite materials. The existing STA will be abandoned in
place.
Desion Calculations:
AverageDesignFlow=T5GPDx2people/bedroornx3Bedrooms+75GPD1+tnBedroom)=525GPD
LTAR = 0.8 GPD/SI-
525 GPD / 0.8 GPD/SF = 656.25 SF
Page 5
The new OWTS design is based on 4-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 525 GPD will be
used.
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation at grade 6335' has been established as
100' (Finished Floor). CBO lnc. should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with grade
elevations of proposed components dur¡ng installation of the OWÏS.
*Elevations are based upon standard OWTS installation practices Component elevations may change during
installation due to site conditions. Minimum grade refers to piping between components
The 4-inch SDR-35 sewer line exiting the residence must have a double-sweep clean out and a minimum
2o/o grade to the sePtic tank.
The system installation will include a 1500-gallon, two-compartment Valley Precast concrete septic tank
with an Orenco@ Biotube Pump Vault and an Orenco@ PF3005 pump in the second compartment of the
septic tank. We recommend anchoring the septic tank with Deadmen because of the high seasonal
groundwater table. The floats should be set to dose approximately 85 gallons each pump cycle, allowing
approximately 22.5 gallons of drain back. The control panel for the pump must be located within line of
sight of the septic tank. We recommend Valley Precast out of Buena Vista be contracted for start-up of the
pumping system.
Pum Table
Effluent will be pressure dosed through a 1.5-inch diameter pump line to a mounded, unlined sand filter. The
sand filter will be divided into two beds, each 7' x 47'with some room between beds for plumbing for a total
approximate length of 96-feet. The excavation for the sand filter will begin 1.O-foot below native grade. A
minimum of 3-feet of sand filter material will be installed in the over-excavated footprint, resulting in 2-feet of
sand filter material extending above native grade. Sand filter material must be clean, coarse sand, all
passing a screen having four meshes to the inch. The sand must have an effective size between 0.15 and
0.60 mm. The uniformity coefficient must be 7.0 or less. Material meeting ASTM 33, for concrete sand, with
three percent or less fines passing 200 mesh sieve may be used. A gradation of the sand media must
be provided.
Effluent will be pumped through a 1.5-inch diameter pump line from the pump chamber to an Orenco@
automatic distributing valve (ADV), model 6402. This pump line must have a minimum 1o/o grade for proper

drain back into the tank after each pump cycle. The ADV must be placed at a high point in an insulated riser
with access from grade. Screened rock must be placed below the ADV to support the ADV and to assure
the clear pipes exiting the ADV remain visible for future inspection and maintenance.
Level, 1.S-inch diameter manifolds will connect two laterals in each bed (see W3.0/1 Mounded Sand Filter
Plan). Laterals must be 1.S-inches in diameter with 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing down, spaced 3'0-
feet on center, installed on the GeoMatrM with the filter fabric over the laterals. Laterals should be placed 2-
feet from the edges of the bed leaving 3' between laterals. Two 39" wide GeoMatrM sheets must be placed
on the 7-foot wide bed. All material associated with the GeoMatrM installation must be proprietary products
associated with the GeoMatrM, including orifice shields and geotextíle fabric. Manufacturer instructions must
be followed regarding installation of the GeoMatrM.
Each 1.5-inch diameter lateral must end in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. Laterals
must be covered by the gray GeomatrM soil separation fabric and at least 1-foot of topsoil or other suitable
soil able to support vegetative growth. There shall be no cobble-sized (2.5") or greater rock in final cover
over the GeoMatrM. lnspection ports must be placed into the sand filter material on each corner of the beds.
The mound must have a minimum 3:1 slope (horizontal:vertical); therefore, the basal area to the south, east,
and west will extend approximately 9-feet beyond the sand filter (with a mound height of approximately 3-feet
above native grade). The mound will be built into the existing berm. Soils in the sloped perimeter areas of
the mound must be well draining and able to support vegetative growth (on-site topsoil is suitable). This soil
must be approved by this office prior to installation. The mound must be crowned in a manner to
promote drainage off the STA.
GOMPON ENT SPECIFICATIONS
The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area.
GBO Inc. 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.
INSTALLATION 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 additionalconditions 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.
INSTALLATION OBSERVAT¡ONS
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
paôt<et. Photographs of the installation and final cover are also requested to supplement our installation
documentation.
REVEGETATION REQU I REM ENTS
An adequate layer of good quality topsoil capable of supporling 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
Page 8
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.
Excavation equipment must not drive in the 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 is 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
coñtractor 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.
