OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8893
September 4, 2025
On July 11, 2025, we visited the property at 338 County Road 238, Parcel Number # 218106200283 near New
Castle in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-8893
(concurrent with Building Permit BLRE-8892). At the time of our site visit, the homeowner had installed the new
sewer line and cleanout, the new 1,500-gallon two-compartment Norwesco septic tank with an effluent filter in
the outlet tee, the new effluent line, distribution box, and the Soil Treatment Area (STA). The new STA was
comprised of five gravelless chamber trenches, each trench consisting of 15 Arc 36 chambers per trench (75
chambers total) for a total STA of 1,125 ft2. At the time of the inspection, the middle portion of four of the five
trenches had been backfilled, and the depth of the Eastern-most trenches was over 4 ft. Garfield County Public
Health received documentation on August 14, 2025, that indicated the chamber trenches had been installed
level and final grade had been brought down to a maximum of 4 ft above the trench bottom. 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 14, 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.
