OWTS Permit #: SEPT-9072
August 12, 2025
On May 8, 2025, we visited the site at TBD County Road 150, Parcel Number # 186323200099
near Gypsum in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS
Permit # SEPT-9072 (concurrent with Building Permit BLRE-9071). At the time of our site visit,
the contractor had installed the new sewer line and cleanout, the new poly Infiltrator 1,060-
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 two 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. Each of the two trenches consisted of 15 ‘Quick
4’ chambers (30 total chambers, 360 ft2 total STA). Additionally, inspection ports were present at
each end of each trench. At the time of the inspection a rise was observed in the southern
trench; the distribution box was observed to be out of level, and watertight risers, inspection port
caps, and an effluent filter handle extension had yet to be installed. Garfield County Public
Health received photo documentation that these items had been resolved per Garfield County
OWTS Regulation 43 on May 16, 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 7, 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.
