Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by High Country Engineering dated January 15, 2024 and updated March 5, 2024. 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 a new five-bedroom residence. The system will consist of a new, two-
compartment 1,500-gallon septic tank set level with access to grade followed by a 500-gallon single-
chamber pump chamber set level with access to grade and a high-head pump in the pump chamber.
Effluent will be pumped to an automatic distributing valve set at the high point of the system that
will distribute effluent to 840 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of five gravelless chamber
trenches, each trench consisting of 3-feet of secondary sand media and 14 chambers per trench (70
chambers total). Distribution laterals are to be 1 ½ inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 3/16-inch orifices 4-
feet on center and the laterals ending in 90-degree sweeping bends and flushing valves at the distal
end of the laterals. Laterals are to be hung from the underside of the chambers with zip-ties. The
orifices are to be facing upward, except for the first and last orifice (which shall face downward for
drainage purposes). Inspection ports are to be installed at each end of each trench. 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 BACKFILLED
WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM GARFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE DESIGNER.
