Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by
Bell Consulting dated August 5, 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 two-bedroom residence. The system will consist of a new, two-compartment
1,060-gallon septic tank set level with access at grade and an effluent filter in the outlet tee of the tank
followed by a 500-gallon single-compartment pump chamber set level with access at grade with a
screened high-head pump in the pump chamber. Effluent will be pumped via 2” diameter Schedule 40
PVC pump line to an Automatic Distributing Valve (ADV), set level with access at grade, to distribute
effluent to 378 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of three gravelless chamber trenches, each trench
measuring three feet wide by 42 feet long and consisting of a minimum of 3 feet of secondary sand
material. Distribution laterals are to be 1 ½ inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 1/8-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 placed in GeoMat placed directly on the sand in the trenches. The orifices are to be
facing downward. Inspection ports shall be installed at the distal end of each trench (minimum). The
residual head (squirt height) at the end of the system is to be 5-feet. Maintain all setbacks and elevations
as designed.
To assist in scheduling, please contact Garfield County Public Health (970-945-6614 ext. 8150) to notify
the start of OWTS construction. 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.
