OWTS Permit #: SEPT-9103
October 10, 2025
On July 9 and August 7, 2025, we visited the site of the residence under construction at 37836 River
Frontage Road near New Castle in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant
to OWTS Permit # SEPT-9103. The system was designed by Huddleston-Berry Engineering & Testing,
LLC. 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 August 28, 2025.
During our inspections, we observed the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new
concrete 1,500-gallon two-compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee of the second
compartment of the tank, the new effluent line, the new distribution box, and the Soil Treatment Area
(STA). The septic tank and distribution box were installed level with access brought to grade. The STA
consisted of two four-row gravelless chamber beds with 15 Infiltrator Quick4 chambers per bed (60
chambers per bed, 120 total chambers, 1,440 ft2 total STA). Additionally, inspection ports were present at
each corner of each bed.
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,
