Permit Conditions:
Permit Conditions: This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the design as
submitted by Sopris Engineering, LLC dated September 14, 2023. Changes must be approved by
Garfield County Public Health and the designer prior to construction.
The new OWTS will serve an existing 1‐bedroom apartment and single RV space and an additional 4
campsites and one additional full bathroom. The design capacity is equivalent to a 3‐bedroom
residence.
The system will utilized the two existing two‐compartment 1,000‐gallon septic tanks with a new
high‐head pump in the second chamber of the second tank that will distribute effluent to 244.5 ft2 of
expanded STA (564 ft2 total). The new expanded STA will consist of a 47 feet by 12 feet unlined sand
filter. The pump line will be constructed of 1.5” diameter Schedule 40 PVC. Distribution laterals will
consist of 1.5” diameter Schedule 40 PVC and shall have 5/32” diameter orifice holes spaced every
2.5’ on‐center (O.C) facing up, with the exception of the first and last orifices. Distribution laterals
shall be placed directly on the sand in chambers and shall end with a ball valve to allow flushing of
the laterals. Inspection ports are to be installed at each end of each lateral, effectively each corner of
the bed. Maintain all setbacks and elevations as designed.
Contact the designer and 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 BACKFLILED
WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM GARFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE DESIGNER.
