Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by Sopris Engineering, LLC. dated October 19, 2022. Changes to the design and permit
must be approved by Garfield County Public Health and the designer prior to construction.
The new OWTS will serve an existing five‐bedroom residence. The system will consist of a new,
single‐compartment 500‐gallon pump chamber with a duplex solids handling sewage pump followed
by a new, two‐compartment 2,000‐gallon septic tank with a high‐head effluent pump in the second
compartment of the tank. Effluent will be pumped to an automatic distributing valve set at the high
point of the system that will distribute effluent to 1,248 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of four
gravelless chamber beds, each bed consisting of two 39” wide GeoMat placed on 6‐inches of
secondary sand material. Distribution laterals are to be 1 ½ inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 3/16‐inch
orifices 2‐feet on center and the laterals ending in flushing valves at the distal end of the laterals.
Laterals are to be placed inside the GeoMat material. The orifices are to be facing downward.
INSPECTION PORTS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN EACH CORNER OF EACH BED. 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.
Agreement

including but not limited to the conditions specified above.
In consideration of the issuance of the permit, the applicant hereby agrees to comply with all
laws and regulations related to the zoning, location, construction, and erection of the proposed
OWTS and associated structures for which this permit is granted. The applicant further agrees
that if the above said regulations are not fully complied with in the zoning, location, erection,
and construction of the above described OWTS and structure, the permit may then be revoked
by notice from the Health Department and immediately become null and void.
The issuance of a permit and specifications of terms and conditions therein will not constitute
assumption of liability, nor create presumption that the local public health agency or its
employees may be liable for the failure or malfunctioning of any system. Permit issuance will
not constitute a certification that the system, the equipment used in the system, or any
component used for system operation will ensure continuous compliance with the provision of
the OWTS Act, the regulations adopted thereunder, or any terms and conditions of a permit.
Permit Approval
Plans and specifications for the proposed OWTS have been reviewed and are considered
satisfactory. Permission is hereby given to the property owner(s) to perform the work indicated
in accordance with the Garfield County OWTS Regulation. This Permit will expire 1 year from
the date of issuance unless construction on the system has commenced. An "as‐built" drawing
must be submitted and inspection of the system must be completed by GCPH before final
approval of the system will be issued.
