OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8136
May 2, 2024
On August 7, 2023, Garfield County Public Health staff visited the site of the Fratzke ADU at
308 Cindys Way near Rifle in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation
pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-8136. At the time of our site visit, the contractor had installed
the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the building, the new 1,000-gallon two-
compartment septic tank, the new effluent line, the new distribution box, and four gravelless
chamber trenches. An effluent filter had been installed in the outlet tee of the septic tank. The
septic tank and distribution box appeared to be installed level with access brought to grade. The
trenches consisted of 10 Quick4 chambers per trench (40 total chambers, 480 ft2 total STA).
This was smaller than the required STA per the permit. The designer, owner, and contractor
opted to install an additional trench of 10 Quick4 chambers (120 ft2 additional STA, 600 ft2 STA
total). Additionally, observation ports were installed 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 May 1,
2024. 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.
Thank you,
