Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with scope of work and site plan as
submitted by Boundaries Unlimited dated November 4, 2025. Changes to the design and permit must be
approved by Garfield County Public Health prior to construction.
The new OWTS will serve a new barn and shop with a bathroom, temporary travel trailer hook up, and
horse wash. A new 1250-gallon two compartment concrete septic tank set level with access to grade and
a screened high-head pump in the second chamber will be installed. Effluent will be pumped to a level
manifold that will distribute effluent to 528 ft2 of STA. The dose volume from the pump shall be 35
gallons pumped 10-11 times per day. The specified pump for the project has a 30 gallon-per-minute
pump rate with a total dynamic head of 25 feet. The new STA will consist of a gravel-less chamber bed
consisting of four rows of 11 ‘Quick 4’ chambers (44 chambers total). The infiltrative surface must be
installed at a maximum of 1ft below grade to achieve adequate separation from seasonal high
groundwater. Each trench will contain a perforated distribution lateral. Distribution laterals are to be 1 ¼
inch Schedule 40 PVC, with 3/16-inch orifices every 5-feet on center and the laterals ending in 90-degree
sweeping bends and flushing valves at the distal end. The residual head (squirt height) at the end of the
system is to be 5-feet. The orifices are to be facing upward, except for the last orifice (which shall face
downward and be equipped with a splash plate). Inspection ports will be installed at each corner of each
bed. Maintain all setbacks and elevations as designed.
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.
