Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) lnspection
144 CR 111
Garfield County, Colorado
Scott,
As requested, CBO lnc. performed an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) inspection at144
CR 11 I Carbondale, Colorado on February 17,2021. The legal description of the 5.01-acre property is
as follows:
Section: 3 Township: 8 Range: 88 A TR lN LOT 18 SEC 3 & LOT I SEC 10
Parcel lD: 2463-034-00-033
The permit (enclosed) was provided by Garfield County Community Development Department. The
subject OWTS consists of one 125O-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank followed by a seepage
pit (or drywell). There is limited information on the permit regarding the seepage pit (possible dimensions
of 13.S-feet by 12-feel?). lndividual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) Permit 1363 documents the
system. The system was designed to accommodate a 4-bedroom residence. The permit received
final approval on May 9, 1984.
The septic tank is located to the northwest of the residence. The manhole lids to the septic tank were
located approximately 2-feet below grade. We recommend risers be added for access from grade. The
inlet baffle was present. The outlet baffle was present but showing significant signs of deterioration. The
condition of the concrete should continue to be monitored.
Liquid levels in the septic tank were normal prior to pumping. The septic tank was pumped by B&R
Septic at the time of our inspection. Built-in concrete baffles are not as effective as sanitary tees. The
outlet line could have an accumulation of sludge over time.
The location of the seepage pit is not known. We assume the seepage it is adjacent to the driveway, to
the west of the septic tank. We recommend using a camera to locate the seepage pit and bring access
to grade for future monitoring.
We walked the approximate area of the seepage pit and we found no evidence of surface saturation or
failure at the time of the inspection.
This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance.
Recommendations:¡ Add 2-feet of risers to each manhole lid for access from grade'
| . Continue to monitor condition of concrete walls and baffle on the outlet side of the septic tank.
o Camera line from septic tank to the seepage pit.
. Bring seepage pit lid to grade for access and future monitoring.
Disclaimer: This inspection is intended only as an evaluation of the present condition of the OWTS
based upon what u¿as observe d and the Licensec/ lnspeclcsr's experlise in csnsile waslewaler leclnrulogy.
The lnspector has not been retained to warrant or guarantee the proper functioning of the system for any
period of time in the future. Because of numerous factors which may affect the operation of an OWTS,
aswellas fhe inability of the lnspectorto superurse or mo¡titor fhe use or maintenance of this OWTS, this
report shall not be construed as a warranty by the lnspector that the sysfem will function properly for any
particular prospective buyer, and the lnspector disclaims any warranty, either expressed or implied,
arising from the lnspectlon of the OWTS or fñis reporT. The evaluation does not ascertain the impact the
sysfem is having on groundwater.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
