OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8826
August 21, 2025
To whom it may concern,
On July 14, 2025, we visited the residence at 112 Navajo Street near New Castle in Garfield
County, Colorado to observe the Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) installation
pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-8826. At the time of our site visit, the contractor had installed
an effluent filter in the existing 1,000-gallon two compartment concrete septic tank, the new Bull
Run Valve, the new effluent line, and the new seepage pit. The concrete rings for the seepage
pit were installed level with access brought to grade. The Bull Run Valve should be turned at
least once per year. The homeowner was provided with a tracking sheet to document this
alternation between the two seepage pits. This tracking sheet shall be provided to Garfield
County Public Health when requested. The contractor had partially backfilled the excavation
around the drywell with washed gravel while we were on site. The seepage pit measured 10 feet
long, 10 feet wide, and 8 feet deep. In our opinion, this system was installed in general
conformance with Garfield County OWTS Regulations. Further, we received an as-built drawing
of the system and a certification letter from the designer (dated July 17, 2025) stating that the
system was generally installed according to specifications in the permitted design. No further
action or review from Garfield County Environmental Health is required regarding this permit
Thank you,
