Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the design as submitted by Sopris
Engineering, LLC. dated August 26, 2023. Changes must be approved by Garfield County Public
Health and the designer prior to construction.
The new OWTS will serve a new 3‐bedroom cabin. The system will consist of a new, two‐
compartment 1,500‐gallon septic tank set level with access to grade and a high‐head pump in the
second chamber of the tank. Effluent will be pressure‐dosed to a manifold set level that will
distribute effluent to 720 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of one mounded 12‐feet wide by 60‐
feet long unlined sand filter with three laterals placed on 2‐feet of secondary sand. The pump line
shall consist of 1.5‐inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC. Laterals shall consist of 1.5‐inch diameter
Schedule 40 PVC and have 5/32‐inch diameter orifices facing up, every 2.5‐feet on‐center (O.C.). The
first and last orifice on each lateral shall face down, to allow proper drainage of the laterals. Laterals
shall end in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. Inspection ports shall be installed
at each end of each lateral. Maintain all setbacks and elevations as designed.
Contact Garfield County Public Health at least 48 hours prior to requesting final inspection of the
installed system prior to backfill. NO OWTS COMPONENT SHALL BE BACKFILLED WITHOUT PRIOR
APPROVAL FROM GARFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE DESIGNER.
