Sacred Ground Excavation installed the system. The OWTS design is based on 3-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 450 GPD was used. The existing poly septic tank under the residence was abandoned. The existing sewer line extending into the residence was replaced with a 4-inch diameter SDR-35 sewer line with a double-sweep clean out and a minimum 2% grade to the new septic tank. The system installation included a 1000-gallon, two-compartment Infiltrator® poly septic tank followed by a 500-gallon Infiltrator® poly pump chamber with an Orenco® Biotube Pump Vault and an Orenco® PF3005 pump. There are filters in both the second compartment of the primary septic tank and the pump chamber that must be cleaned annually, or as needed. The floats were set to dose approximately 70 gallons each pump cycle. The control panel for the pump is located within line of sight of the septic tank. Valley Precast out of Buena Vista performed start-up of the pumping system. Effluent is pumped through a 1.5-inch diameter pump line from the pump chamber to an Orenco® automatic distributing valve (ADV), model 6402. The ADV was placed at a high point in the system in an insulated riser with access from grade. Effluent is pressure dosed to through 1.5-inch diameter distribution lines to a 13’ x 43.5’ bed. A minimum of 3-feet of sand filter material was installed in the over-excavated footprints. A gradation of the sand media is enclosed. Laterals were 1.5-inches in diameter with 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing down, spaced 2-feet on center, installed on the GeoMat™ with the filter fabric over the laterals. Laterals were placed 2-feet from the edges of the bed with 3.0-feet between the laterals. Laterals were connected with 1.5-inch diameter level manifolds. Four 39” wide GeoMats™ were placed on the 13-foot wide bed. Each 1.5-inch diameter lateral ends in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. Valves were placed in a 10-inch sprinkler box for access. Laterals were covered by the gray GeoMat soil separation fabric and at least 1-foot of topsoil. Inspection ports were placed at each corner of each bed. Ports may be cut to grade and covered with a valve box for access. The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of workmanship and/or parts and materials. CBO Inc. should be notified if changes are made to the OWTS in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the county regulations. LIMITS: Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer must have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent on the expertise of the installer, soil type, and weather conditions. Please call with questions. Sincerely, CBO Inc.
