INTRODUCTION
This report provides the results of a design for an onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS)
for the proposed residence to be located at Parcel 22, High Aspen Ranch, 966 Overlook Drive,
Garfield County, Colorado. The project site is shown on Figure 1. The purpose of the report is
to provide design details for the OWTS in accordance with Garfield County Environmental Health
Department Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Regulations and the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environmental Regulation #43. The services are in accordance with our
agreement for professional services to Jordan Architecture dated June 26, 2025.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed residence will be a one-story structure over a walkout basement with an attached
garage located on the property as shown on Figure 1. The residence will have three bedrooms
and the OWTS will be designed for three bedrooms. The proposed soil treatment area (STA) for
the OWTS will be located south of the residence. Water service will be provided by an onsite well
approximately 300 feet northwest of the proposed residence. The route of the water supply line
from the well to the proposed residence is not yet determined.
lf proposed construction is different than that described, we should be contacted to re-evaluate
our design recommendations.
SITE CONDITIONS
The site, shown on Figure 1, was vacant at the time of our field exploration. The terrain is strongly
sloping down to the southeast at grades of 15 to 25o/o. There are no known water features on the
property. Basalt boulders are visible on the ground surface. Vegetation consists of oakbrush,
sagebrush, grass and weeds.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The field exploration for the OWTS was conducted on July 30, 2025. Two profile pits (Profile Pits
1 and 2) were excavated with a mini-excavator at the approximate location shown on Figure 1 to
evaluate the subsurface conditions at the soil treatment area for the OWTS. The pits were logged
by a representative of Kumar & Associates. Logs of the profile pits are provided below.

Kumar & Associates, lnc. @ Project No. 25-7 -449.02
-2-
Log of Profile Pit 2
The soils encountered in the profile pits, below about Tzfeet of organic topsoil, consisted of Loam
with basalt gravel and cobbles down to the pit depths of 3/, and 5 feet. Hydrometer and gradation
analyses were performed on a disturbed bulk sample of the soils from Profile Pit 1 from 1 to 2 feet
depth with the results provided on Figure 2. The tested sample (minus No.10 size sieve fraetion)
classifies as Loam per the USDA system. No free water was encountered in the pits nor
indications of seasonal high groundwater were observed at the time of the pit excavations.
Bascd on thc subsurface conditions and laboratory testing, the design soils have been classified
as Type 2 and R-1; Option 1 per State regulations, which equates to a long-term acceptance rate
(LTAR) of 0.80 gallons per square foot per day for Treatment Level 3.
OWTS ANALYSIS
Based on the profile pit evaluations and our experience in the area, the soils contain greater than
35 percent rock-sized material and a sand filter on the natural soils will be needed for adequate
treatment of the wastewater effluent. An aggregate bed overlying a minimum 2 feet thick sand
filter will be used to provide adequate treatment of the effluent from the residence. The STA
aggregate bed will be sized for 3 bedrooms using an LTAR of 0.80 gallons per square foot per
day. There is adequate elevation difference from the ground floor of the residence down to the
septic tank for gravity flow of the sewer effluent.
The effluent will gravity flow from the residence to a septic tank for primary treatment and then
pressure dosed to the STA for dispersal and final treatment. The STA will consist of an aggregate
bed over the sand filter.
The route of the water supply line should be outside of any required setbacks. The required
setback of the water line from the septic tank is 10 feet, 5 feet for sewer and effluent lines,
and 25 feet from the STA. We should be notified for additional recommendations if any of
the setbacks cannot be met.
DESION RECOMMENDATIONg
The design recommendations presented below are based on the proposed construction, the site
and subsurface conditions encountered, and our experience in the area. A layout of the proposed
OWTS comoonents is nrovided on Fioure 1. !f conditions ennonntered drrr"ino construction are--"'r-' r'--'---
different than those that are described in this report. we should be contacted to re-evaluate our
design recommendations.

SOIL TREATMENT AREA. The STA will consist of a 1-foot-thick aggregate (gravel) bed that is 47 feet long by 12feet
wide (564 square feet) constructed over a two feet thick sand filter. The aggregate area
size is based on an LTAR of 0.80 gallons per square foot per day for Soil Type 2-TL3.
. A pressure distribution system will be used to dose the effluent to the STA at regular
intervals.. Soiltreatment area calculations are shown on Figure 3.
. The sand filter material should meet the requirements of the current Garfield County
OWTS regulations for "secondary sand media." ASTM C33 concrete sand is suitable. A
sample of the sand media should be obtained within 1 month prior to installation for
gradation analysis with the sample provided to us for testing, or the test results provided
to us for approval of the material.. The base of the excavations should be scarified prior to sand filter placement.
. The sand filter material should be placed in lifts not exceeding 10 inchesthick. Each lift
should be bucket compacted until settlement ceases.
. Distribution lines, consisting of 1.S-inch diameter Schedule 40 piping with s/gz-inch orifice
holes drilled at 4-feet spacings, should be installed as shown on Figure 4. The first hole
should be 6 inches from the manifold and the last hole should be 6 inches from the looped
end. There should be a total of 11 holes in each distribution line. The lateral distribution
lines should be installed level in the aggregate bed. The orifice holes should face down.
. Orenco Orifice Shields, or equivalent, should be installed on the effluent distribution piping
within the aggregate bed at each orifice location to limit potential masking of the holes by
the gravel.
. The aggregate bed will consist of a minimum of 6 inches of aggregate below the
distribution lines and extend to at least 4/.inches above the laterals for a totalthickness
of at least 1 foot. The aggregate should consist of clean, open graded gravel which may
range in size fromTz inch to 2Tzinches. Minus 1Tr" drain gravel is suitable.
. The bed should be oriented lengthwise along the ground contours to minimize soil cut and
cover.. Prior to placement of the cover soil, a Hanes Geocomponents Pro Silver 2 ounce/yard
filterfabric,orequivalent,shouldbeplacedovertheaggregatebed. Mirafi 140Nor160N
filter fabric is not suitable for this use.
. A minimum of 12 inches and a maximum of 36 inches of cover soil should be placed over
the aggregate bed. BacKill should be graded to deflect surface water away from the STA
and should be sloped at 3 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter. A shallow swale to divert
surface water flow away from the STA may be needed along the upslope side.
. Disturbed soil should be re-vegetated as soon as possible with a native grass mix. No
trees, shrubs or other plants with deep roots should be planted on or near the STA as this
may damage the system piping.
. Four-inch diameter inspection ports should be installed vertically into each corner of the
aggregate bed. The inspection port piping should extend down to the top of the sand filter
and not be connected to the distribution piping. The portion of the pipe that lies within the
gravel should be perforated. The inspection ports should extend at least 8 inches above
the finished ground surface or be protected in a valve box at finished grade.
. The STA must be a minimum of 25 feet from any potable water supply lines.
Kumar & Associates, lnc. @ Project No. 25-7 -449.02

The STA must be a minimum of 20 feet from the residence.
The STA must be a minimum of 10 feet from property lines.
The STA must be a minimum of 5 feet from the septic tank.
A plan view of the STA is presented on Figure 4 and a cross section of the STA is
presented on Figure 5.
Cleanouts are required at the end of each of the three distribution lines. See Figure 6 for
the cleanout detail.
OWTS COMPONENTS
Recommended OWTS components provided below are based on our design details and our
experience with the specific component manufacturers. Equivalent components may be feasible
but need to be approved by us prior to construction.
Septic Tank. A Valley Precast 1,000 gallon, three-chamber septic tank (1,500 gallons total) should be
used for primary treatment. The first two chambers of the tank will be utilized for treatment
and settling, and the third chamber of the tank will contain the dosing pump. A detail of
the tank is provided as an attachment.. The tank must be a minimum of 5 feet from the residence.. The tank must be a minimum of 10 feet from any potable water supply lines.. The tank must be a minimum of 5 feet from the proposed STA.. The tank must be set level. The excavation bottom must be free of large rocks or other
objects that could damage the tank during placement. A road base or gravel bedding
material may be needed to prevent tank damage during placement and act as a leveling
course.. The tank lids must extend to final surface grade and made to be easily located.. lnstall the tank with 2 feet minimum cover soil for frost protection. Maximum tank soil
cover is 4 feet.
Sewer Pipe. The sewer line to the septic tank should not be less than the diameter of the building or
other drains and not less than 4 inches in diameter.. The sewer pipe should have a rating of SDR35 or stronger. Schedule 40 PVC pipe is
required beneatlr any driveway or gravel surfaces.. The sewer pipe should be sloped between 2% to 4o/o to help limit disturbance of solids in
the tank and potential sewage bypass of the first chamber of the tank. lf a steeper slope
is needed, this can be accomplished with vertical step-downs in the sewer line.. A minimum 36 inches of cover soil should be provided over the sewer pipe. Paved or
graveled areas, patios or other areas wlthout vegetatlve cover may be more susceptlble
to frost and we recommend 48 inches of soil cover over the sewer pipe in these areas,
and the pipe be insulated on top and sides with 2-inch-thick blue foam insulation board. lf
adequate soil cover is not possible, we should be contacted for re-evaluation prior to
installation.. The sewer pipe should be bedded in compactedTo-inch road base or native soils provided
that the native soils contain no angular rocks or rocks larger than ZYz inches in diameter
to help prevent settlement of the pipe. Sags in the pipe could cause standing effluent to
freeze and damage the piping.
a
Kumar & Associates, lnc. o Project No. 25-7 -449.02
5-
lnstall cleanout pipes within 5 feet of the building foundation, where the sewer pipe bends
90 degrees or more and every 100 feet of sewer pipe.
All 90-degree bends should be installed using a 9O-degree long-sweep or by using two
45-degree elbows.
The sewer line must be a minimum of 5 feet from any potable water supply lines.
The sewer line location shown on Figure 1 is considered conceptual. We assume that
there will be only one sewer line exiting the residence. lt is the responsibility of the
owner/contractors to locate all sewer line exit locations and connections to the septic tank.
We should be notified if there are other sewer lines exiting the building.
Effluent Transport Piping. The effluent transport pipe should be 1.S-inch diameter Schedule 40 piping sloped at a
2% minimum to drain to the STA.. The effluent transport pipe should be bedded in compacted %-inch road base or native
soils provided that the native soils contain no angular rocks or rocks larger than 2Tz inches
in diameter to help prevent settlement of the pipe. Sags in the pipe could cause standing
effluent to freeze and damage to the piping.
. A minimum 18 inches of cover soil should be provided over the effluent transport pipe.
Paved areas, patios or other areas without vegetative cover may be more susceptible to
frost. We recommend 48 inches of soil cover over the effluent pipe and insulation with at
least 2 inches of rigid foam insulation in these areas. lf adequate cover soil is not possible,
we should re-evaluate the condition prior to installation.
. All 9O-degree bends should be installed using a 90 degree long-sweep or by using two
45-degree elbows.
Effl uent Pum ping System. An Orenco PF5005, 11S-volt, submersible effluent pump with a 1.SO-inch diameter
discharge assembly, or equivalent, will be required for effluent pumping.
. The maximum effluent transport distance from the pump discharge to the manifold is
estimated to be 20 feet.. The elevation difference from pump discharge to the manifold is estimated to be 5 feet.
. The pump should be enclosed in an Orenco Biotube Pump Vault for effluent filtering and
protection of the pump from vibration.
. An equivalent pump must be capable of operating at 22.3 gallons per minute at 12.2 feet
of total dynamic head. A pump performance curve is provided as an attachment to this
report.. The floats should be set to provide a dose volume of approximately 68 gallons. To achieve
the desired dose volume, the upper ('ON") and lower ("OFF') floats should be set
approximately 67, inches apart.. The flow differential between the first and last orifices is estimated to be 0.5%.
. The high-water alarm float should be placed approximately 3 inches above the "ON" float
in the dose tank. The high-water alarm must be wired on a separate electrical circuit from
the pump.
. An le-inch diameter weep hole should be drilled in the effluent transport line prior to exiting
the dose tank so the transport line can drain back into the dose tank after each pumping
cycle.

OWTS OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The OWTS will require periodic inspection and maintenance to function properly. A properly
designed, installed and maintained system can greatly increase its lifespan. The level of
maintenance will vary depending on the complexity of the system and water use habits of the
residents. We recommend that an OWTS Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manual be
developed. Below are some basic recommendations for the OWTS O&M.
OWTS HOUSEHOLD OPERATION. Use of high efficiency water fixtures is recommended to decrease the hydraulic load on
the OWTS system.. Fix plumbing leaks immediately as this may cause a hydraulic overload of the soil
absorption system.. Do not irrigate the area on top of or directly upgradient of the soil absorption field as this
may cause a hydraulic overload.. Do not dispose of household waste down drains as this may clog or damage OWTS
components. Examples of household waste includes: dental floss, cotton swabs, coffee
grounds, paper towels, fcmininc products and many other kitchen and bath items.. Use of kitchen garbage disposals is not recommended. lf a garbage disposal is utilized,
kitchen wastewater should be screened thoroughly. Many kitchen solids are not
decomposed in the septic tank and may cause increased tank pumping frequency.. Do not dispose of household chemicals, greases, oils, paints, hot tub water or water
softener backwash in household drains. A separate drywell, if feasible, may be necessary
for hot tub water or water softener backwash disposal.
' Limit the use of bleach as this may harm useful bacteria in the septic tank and soil
absorption system.
' Liquid dishwasher and clothes washer detergent is recommended for households served
by an OWTS. Clay substances used as fillers in powder detergents may result in clogging
of the soils absorption system.
OWTS MAINTENANCE. lnspect the septic tank, pump vault, effluent pump, and STA at least annually for problems
or signs of failure.
' The pump vault filter should be cleaned at least annually by spray washing solids into the
first chamber of the septic tank.. The septic tank should be pumped and cleaned every 3 to 5 years depending on use.
Longer pumping intervals may increase the amount of solids that reach the STA, which
may shorten its life span.
' Pumping of the septic tank should take place when the level of the sludge and scum layers
combined take up 25 to 33% of the capacity of the first chamber of the tank.
OWTS CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION
The Garfield County Environmental Health Department requires that the designer of the system
provide a record drawing and certification of the OWTS construction (As-Built inspection). We
should be provided with at least 48-hour notice prior to the installer needing the inspections. Prior
to issuance of our certification letter, we require observation of all system components prior to
backfill. The number of site visits required for the inspection will depend on the installer's
construction schedule.

LIMITATIONS
We have conducted this design in accordance with generally accepted engineering principles and
practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either expressed or implied. The
recommendations provided in this report are based on the site conditions, profile pit evaluations
and soil texture analysis, the proposed construction and our experience in the area. Variations
in the subsurface conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. lf conditions
encountered during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should
be notified so that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We are
not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the project evolves,
we should provide continued consultation and field services during construction to review and
monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to verify that the recommendations
have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may require additional analysis
or modifications to our design.
It is our opinion that the designed location of the OWTS components does not violate any setback
requirements of the Garfield County Regulations. Below is a table of common minimum horizontal
setbacks to OWTS components. Refer to the Garfield County Regulations for a complete list of
required setbacks. We recommend the OWTS components be surveyed by a Professional
Colorado Land Surveyor for the installation layout.
