Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by High Country Engineering dated June 25, 2023. 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 new five-bedroom residence. The new OWTS components will consist of
a new 1,500-gallon (1,500-gallon minimum) two compartment septic tank on the CDPHE approved
list, set level with access to grade and an effluent filter installed in the outlet tee of the tank. Effluent
will gravity flow to a new distribution box set level with access to grade which will distribute effluent
to 1440 ft2 of STA. Prior to installation of OWTS components, the excavation of the soil treatment
area must be observed by the designer/engineer to allow for evaluation and confirmation of soil
conditions. The new STA will consist of six gravelless chamber trenches consisting of 20 chambers
per trench for a total of 120 chambers. Inspection ports will 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.
