Carbondale, CO 81623
OWTS Permit #: SEPT-9122
December 15, 2025
On May 12, 2025, and July 29, 2025 we visited the site of the main residence under construction at 1193
County Road 102 near Carbondale in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation
pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-9122. The system was designed by High Country Engineering and
installed by Savage Excavation. 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 December 11, 2025.
During our inspection May 12, 2025, we observed the new poly 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
25 Infiltrator Quick4 chambers per trench (100 total chambers, 1200 ft2 total STA). Additionally,
inspection ports were present at each end of each trench. During our inspection July 29, 2025 we
observed the new sewer line and cleanouts adjacent to the building, the inlet tee in the first chamber of the
tank, tank risers and lids, effluent filter handle and flow equalizers installed in the distribution box.
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.
