OWTS Permit #: SEPT-7968
August 12, 2025
On July 24, 2025, we visited the residence at 1447 County Road 321, Parcel Number #
217719101001 near Rifle in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation
pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-7968 (concurrent with Building Permit BLRE-7967). At the
time of our site visit, the contractor had installed the new sewer line, the new concrete Forterra
1,250-gallon two-compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee of the tank, the
new effluent line, the new distribution box, and six 60 ft long gravelless chamber trenches. The
septic tank and distribution box were installed level with access brought to grade. The septic
tank utilized for this project is on the accepted septic tank list published by the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment. The of the six trenches consists of 12 ‘Arc 36’
chambers (72 total chambers, 1080 ft2 total STA). Additionally, inspection ports were present at
each end of each trench. At the time of the inspection, the several dips and rises were
observed in the trenches. Garfield County Public Health received photo documentation that the
trenches had been releveled per Garfield County OWTS Regulation 43 on August 5, 2025. 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 August
10, 2025. 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.
