OWTS Permit #: SEPT-7934
October 9, 2025
On December 11, 2023, we visited the site of the residence under construction at 66 Sopris Lane near
Carbondale in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit #
SEPT-7934. The system was designed by Boundaries Unlimited, Inc. and installed by the homeowner.
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 December 12, 2023.
During our final inspection, we observed the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the residence, the
new concrete 2,500-gallon three-compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee of the
second compartment of the tank and a low-head pump in the third compartment of the tank, the new
pump line, the new automatic distributing valve, and the three gravelless chamber trenches. The septic
tank was installed level with access brought to grade. The trenches consisted of 19 Infiltrator Quick4
chambers per trench (57 total chambers, 684 ft2 total STA). Additionally, flushing assemblies were
installed at the ends of the trenches and inspection ports were present at each end of each trench. The
system was not powered at the time of our inspection. On October 9, 2025, we received a video from the
owner that showed proper pump and alarm operation (both audio and visual alarms), as well as the pump
control panel located within line of sight of the septic tank.
As required by Garfield County OWTS Regulation Section 43.4.F.3, based on our final inspection
observations, this OWTS was installed according to the permit requirements and regulations.
Thank you,
