OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8905
October 20, 2025
On December 13, 2024, we visited the property at 7441 County Road 301 near Parachute in Garfield
County, Colorado to perform a final inspection of the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit #
SEPT-8905. The system was designed by Kumar and Associates, Inc. and components were installed by
the homeowner. We received a certification letter indicating the system was installed in general
conformance with the permitted design and an as-built drawing of the constructed system from the
designer on July 10, 2025.
During our final inspection, we observed the new cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new sewer line,
the new poly 1,060-gallon two-compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee of the tank,
the new effluent line, the new distribution box, and the 528 ft2 Soil Treatment Area (STA). The septic tank
and distribution box were installed level with access brought to grade. The septic tank utilized for this
project is on the accepted septic tank list published by the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment. The STA consisted of two gravelless chamber trenches with each trench consisting of 22
Quick4 chambers (44 total chambers). Additionally, inspection ports were present at each end of each
trench.
As required by Garfield County OWTS Regulations Section 43.4.F.3, based on our final inspection
observations, this OWTS was installed according to the permit requirements and regulations.
Thank you,
