Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by Sopris Engineering dated February 20, 2025. 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 four-bedroom residence. PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF OWTS COMPONENTS,
THE ENGINEER WILL PERFORM AN ADDITIONAL SOIL EVALUATION IN THE AREA OF THE PROPOSED STA AND
A REPORT OF SOIL CONDITIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED TO GCPH. IN THE EVENT THAT THE LTAR IS FOUND TO
BE INCONGRUENT WITH THE VALUE USED IN THE ABSORPTION SYSTEM DESIGN CALCULATIONS OF THE
FEBRUARY 20, 2025 REPORT, THIS PERMIT SHALL BE VOIDED. The system will consist of a new, two-
compartment 1,500-gallon septic tank set level with access at grade and a screened high-head pump
in the second chamber. Effluent will be pumped to a level manifold that will distribute effluent to
528 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of four gravel-less chamber trenches, each trench consisting
of 11 chambers (44 chambers total). 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 90-degree sweeping bends and flushing
valves at the distal end of the laterals. Laterals are to be secured with push in staples to the
infiltrative surface under the chamber rows. The orifices are to be facing upward, except for the first
and last orifice (which shall face downward and be equipped with orifice shields). Inspection ports
are to be installed at the end of each trench. The residual head (squirt height) at the end of the system
is to be 2.5-feet. 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.

In consideration of the issuance of the permit, the applicant hereby agrees to comply with all

that if the above said regulations are not fully complied with in the zoning, location, erection,

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

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
