Site History
There is an existing four-bedroom residence on the site that is served by an existing onsite wastewater
treatment system (OWTS). The existing system has been slow draining and requires pumping three to four
times per year. The orüner of the property wishes install a new OWTS while also maintaining the existing
system as an alternative field.
The site consists of approximately 3.0 acres of uncultivated native soil. Drainage is approximately I % to
the east. A percolation (pn c\ test/soils evaluation and site study were conducted on the property of
reference on O612912023 by Kachayla R. Cronk, registered professional engineer (RP-E.). The perc
excavation trench was located approximately 65' north of the south property line and approximately 50'
west of the east property line.
This OWTS design has been prepared for theproject based on information disclosed during the site study
mentioned above. A discussion of the engineered OWTS design follows. The perc test/soils evaluation is
attached for reference as Appendix A. The location of theperc excavation trench is shown on the Plot Plan
included in this report.
Develooqent of Þesien Parameter.s
The perc excavation trench was extended to a depth of 100" below ground surface (BGS). There was no
evidence of ground water or high seasonal water table in the open excavation to a depth of I 00" BGS. The
soils evaluation indicates two distinct soil horizons underlie the site. A lithological description follows:
depth (in.) description
0" - 18',
l8'- 100"
sandy loam, brown
(Soil Type 2, USDA * sandy loam, granular, moderate structure)
loamy sand, light brown
(Soil Type t, USDA * loamy sand, single grained, structureless)
Based on the rcsults from the t6129123 perc testlsoils evaluation (Appendix A), an long terrn acceptance
rate (LTAR) of 0.60 has been chosen for overall system sizing for an infiltrator trench soil treatment a¡ea
designed to discharge to subsoils below the 48" depth.

System Design
An INFILTRA?OI? trench soil treatment system is proposed for discharge of septic effluent at the site.
Construction ofthe system will consist of excavating level trenches in the area comprising the soil treatment
¿16¿. Gradins durinq constructlon mav affect slpne^ therefore contractor sha4 verifv slone at time of
installntion. Soil treatment area orientåtion may be adiupted oer site variationq,tp facilitatp consistent
trench denth runnins oar¡llFl to final contoqrs. The initial excavation shall be continued to a level depth
of 48" BGS (see Soil Treatment Are¿ Cross Section). If consistçnt tren,ch deÞth çlmnot be maintain€d.
{NFILIÀ,4IOR chambe{s r,na}¡ be installed level at 24" miqimum and 48" mærimum BGS.
Following completion of the trench excavations, QUICK4 STANDARD INFILTRATORS (or equivalent)
will be used to construct a septic efiluent distribution system in the open exc¿vations. The INFILTRATOR
effluent distribution system wi[ be installed in accordance with the "Infiltrator Technical Manual",
available from Infiltrator Systems Inc., 123 Eûn Street, Suite 12, Old Saybrook, Connecticut 0ó475.
Adiacent 1¡I/F/¿ZA,,4ZOA,S shall be fasteged with a r,ninir,num of three 1.3) %" pelf-taop-ing screws to prevent
movgment and seoaration dgJins backfilling.
After the INFILTRATORS arc installed, synthetic filter fabric (140-200 mesh) will be placed over the
INFILTRATORS and the system will be covered with a soil cap. The soil cap will consist of approximately
36" of nativc soil backflrll. The soil cap will be mounded 5% above the existing ground surface to promote
surface run offaway from the soil treatment rirea'
The installershould confirm the feasibility of gravity discharge of sewage effluent from the foundationline
to the soil treatment aretby field verification of assumed desþ parameters. Assumed design parameters
with respect to gravity discharge include:
If the distance from the sewage pipe at exit from the foundation line to the soil treatment area
is 150'or less,
The elevation of the ground surface at entry to the soil treatment area shall be no more th,an 17'
above the invert elwation of the sewage pipe at exit from the foundation line.
If field measurements do not confirm these design assumptions, gravity discharge of septic effluent from
the proposed structure cannot be assured and a lift station may be required. Please contact the design
engineer and Garfield County to address any design modifications necessary if these desþ assumptions
are not upheld.
There is an existing 1,250 gallon, two compartmentseptic tankthat is in good working order and will
remain in use to provide a minimum of 48 hours retention time for sewage generated from the proposed
project. A non-corrodible Orenco filter (model # FTW0436-28) shall be installed at the final outlet tee of
the septic tank to limit the size of solids and sludge passing into the soil treatment area. The filter must be
accessible for cleaning and replacemçnt from the ground surface. A distribution box is required to provide
equal disribution of septic effluent from the septic tank to the soil treatment area laterals. The installer shall
replace the existing distribution box with a new one. The distribution box must be placed on stable native
soil or compacted structural fill to prevent settling and assure equal distribution of septic effluent. The
distribution box must be accessible for cleaning and replacement from the ground snrface.
The existing STA \Ã/iU remain in use as an alternative system should it ever be needed. IN ORDER TO

ALLO\il THE EXISTING STA TO BE USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM, THE INSTALLER
SHALL PROVTDE AN OUTLET FROM THE DISTRIBUTION BOX TO THE EXISTING STA. SPEED
LEVELERS WILL BE PROVTDED SO THE OUTLET TO THE EXISTING STA IS HIGHER THAN
THE OUTLETS TO TTIE NEW STA, ENSURING TTIAT THE EXSTING STA WILL ONLY BE USED
IN AN OVERFLOW CONDITION.
As shown in the included graphics, the trench soil treatment system will consist of four (4) trenches 3' wide
x 48" deep x 52' long with thirteen (13) INFLLTRATOR (or equivalent) units each for a total of fifty+wo
(52) units. The soil treatment area will encompass a¡r effective area of 891.43 sq. ft.

The system contractor shall be aware of the potential for construction activities to reduce soil
permeabilities al the site through compaction, smearing, and shearing. The following
precautions and construçtion procedures should be employed during installation to minimize
disturbance to native soils:
i. Excavation should proceed only when the moisture content ofthe soil is below the
plastic limit. If a sample of soil forms a rope instead of crumbling when rolled
between the hands it is too wet and should be allowed to dry before excavation
continues.
ii. Excavation and backfill equipment should work from the surface where at all
practical to avoid compaction of the soils at depth.
iii. The bottom and sidewalls of the excavation should be left with a rough, open
surface. The appearance should be that ofbroken or tipped soil as opposed to a
sheared, smeared or troweledsurface. Any smoothedor smeared surfaces should
be removed with a toothedrake or shallow ripper, taking care to remove loose
residues from the bottom of the excavation by hand if necessary.
iv. Care should be taken in placing fill materials in the excavation to avoid damaging
the exposed soil surfaces.
Operation - Maintenanc.e pnd Inspectionq
o The owner shall install a structural barrier ifnecessary andtake precautions to prevent vehicular
traffïc, excessive surface watering, accidental flooding, or other activities in the vicinity of the
soil treatment area which may compact, saturatg or otherwise alter the subsurface soil
parameters used in designing the septic system.
o The ownerwill plant and maintain grass or othershallow rooted cover crûp to prevent erosion
and promote evapotranspiration over the soil treatment area.
e The owner will inspect and maintain the required mounding and drainage away from the soil
treatment area to prevent saturation from precipitation and surface flows-
r To mitigate the generation of preferential flow channels which may compromise the operation
of the system, the owner will inspect and prevent intrusion of bunowing animals and deep-
rooted plants into the soil treatment area.
o The septic effluent filter shall be inspected and cleaned as necessary every six (6) months.
o The owner will conduct periodic maintenance ofthe septic system by removing accumulated
sludge ftom the septic tank every 3.4 years to prevent clogging of the soil treatment area.

NOTES FOR YOUR INSTALLER
. Please veriff slope at the time of system installation - the orientation of the
STA shown in this design has been determined based on existing site
conditions at the time of the original site investigation, but that may have
changed during construction and pre-construction grading of the site.
. The depth of the trenches is determined by percolation rates and soil
conditions relative to the existing ground surface at the time of the soils
investigation. If the site sþe or grading of the ground surface at the time of
installation differs sþificantly from what was initially observed, the trench
depths may have to be adjusted to make sure the infilhative surface remains
in the desired soil layer, and portions of the trenches don't end up too deep or
too shallow. The dep-th of the soil qap relative, to finished erading ls not part
of thq OWTS desien criteria.
o Please provide K-Cronk Engineering with a copy of the septic tank
manufacturer's specification sheet veriffing maximum backfill depth. Tanks
must be backfilled according to manufacturer's specification,
Pressurized System Notes
r Please provide K-Cronk Engineering a copy of the sand sieve analysis, if
relevant, dated within 30 DAJS of installation before purchasing/installing
the sand so we can checkthat it meets Mesa County OWTS standards.
. Pump floats do not come pre-set from the factory. Please refer to the Pump
Vault Detail for the distance needed between the on/offfloats.
Please reach out at any time during the installation process ifyou have any questions!

Soils Evaluation
The site consists of approximately 3.0 acres of uncultivated native soil. Drainage is approximately
Ío/o to the east. A percolation Qterc) test/soils evaluation and site study were conducted on the
property of reference on 06129/2023 by Kachayla R. Cronk, registered professional engineer
(R.P.E.). T\e perc excavation trench was located approximately 65' north of the south property
line and approximately 50' vrest of the east property line.
The perc excavation trench was extended to a depth of 100" below ground surface (BGS). There
was no evidence of ground water or high seasonal water tabte in the open excavation to a depth of
100' BGS. The soils evaluation indicates ¡wo distinct soil horizons underlie the site. A lithological
description follows:
