Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit to connect a garage bathroom to the existing OWTS is approved on the condition
of compliance with the report and design as submitted by Capstone Enterprises West, LLC dated
April 22, 2022 with the condition of approval included below. Changes to the design and permit
must be approved by Garfield County Public Health and the designer prior to construction.
The new OWTS was designed and installed without an appropriate OWTS permit in 2022. The
installed OWTS serves a three-bedroom residence and the components consist of a 1,000-gallon
two compartment septic tank on the CDPHE approved list, set level with access to grade and an
effluent filter installed in the outlet tee of the tank. Effluent gravity flows to a new distribution box
set level with access to grade that distributes effluent to 912 ft2 of STA. The STA consists of two 12-
feet wide by 38-feet long pipe and gravel beds. Inspection ports had been installed on the out
corners of each bed. Per Garfield County OWTS Regulation Section 43.10.F.6.a, additional
inspection ports are required at the inside corners of each bed as a condition of approval of this
permit. Maintain all setbacks and elevations as designed.
To assist in scheduling, please contact Garfield County Public Health (970-945-6614 ext. 8150) to
notify the start of OWTS construction. 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.
