Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as submitted by Sopris
Engineering dated August 11, 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 proposed 3-bedroom residence. The new OWTS components will consist of a new 1,500-
gallon two compartment septic tank on the CDPHE approved list, set level with access to grade and a new screened high-
head pump will be housed in the second chamber of the septic tank. Effluent will be dosed from the pump to a level
manifold that will distribute effluent to 432 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of three 50 ft long, 3 ft wide trenches,
four feet apart consisting of 12 ‘Quick 4’ chambers per trench with perforated distribution laterals running the length of
each trench. Distribution laterals are to be 1 ½ inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 5/32-inch orifices every 2-feet on center
facing up. Each lateral is to end in a flushing valve at the distal end. The residual head (squirt height) at the end of the
system is to be 4-feet. Inspection ports are to be installed at each end of each trench. 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.

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

the OWTS Act, the regulations adopted thereunder, or any terms and conditions of a permit.
Permit Approval
Plans and specifications for the proposed OWTS have been reviewed and are considered
satisfactory. Permission is hereby given to the property owner(s) to perform the work indicated
in accordance with the Garfield County OWTS Regulation. This Permit will expire 1 year from
the date of issuance unless construction on the system has commenced. An "as-built" drawing
must be submitted and inspection of the system must be completed by GCPH before final
