OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8883
October 24, 2025
On April 21, 2025, we visited the site of the residence under construction at 481 Rapids View Lane near
New Castle in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit #
SEPT-8883 for a new four-bedroom residence. The system was designed by CBO, Inc. and installed by
Alpine Excavation and Land Clearing. 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 October 24, 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 four gravelless chamber trenches with 13 Infiltrator Quick4 chambers per trench (52 total
chambers, 624 ft2 total STA). Additionally, inspection ports were present at each end of each trench.
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,
