OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8172
November 28, 2023
On October 13, 2023, the design engineer visited the site of the Beattie Residence at 631
County Road 321 near Rifle in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation
pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-8172. Garfield County Public Health (GCPH) was not
contacted to inspect the installation of the OWTS. The owner and the design engineer submitted
photographs of the OWTS installation to GCPH for review. At the time of the design engineer’s
site visit, the owner had installed the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the building, the
new poly 1,000-gallon two-compartment septic tank, the new effluent line, the new distribution
box, and the four gravelless chamber trenches. The owner indicated that the design engineer
stated that an effluent filter had been installed in the outlet tee of the septic tank. In the
submitted photographs, the septic tank and distribution box appeared to be installed level with
access brought to grade. According to the design engineer and as shown on the submitted
photographs, the trenches consist of 15 Infiltrator Quick4 chambers per trench (60 total
chambers, 720 ft2 total STA). Submitted photographs depict that inspection ports were present
at each end of each trench. We received an as-built drawing of the constructed system and a
letter certifying that the system was constructed in compliance with the permitted design from
the OWTS designer dated October 13, 2023. In our opinion, this system was installed in general
conformance with Garfield County OWTS Regulations. No further action or review from Garfield
County Environmental Health is required regarding this permit.
