OWTS Permit #: SEPT-7320
May 8, 2026
On October 25, 2022, we visited the residence at 4744 County Road 115 near Glenwood Springs in
Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-7320.
The system was designed by CBO, Inc. and installed by the owner. 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 January 2, 2023.
During our inspection, we observed the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new
plastic 1,500-gallon two-compartment septic tank, and 500-gallon single compartment pump chamber
housing a high-head Orenco pump package, the new pump line, the new automatic distributing valve, and
the Soil Treatment Area (STA). The septic tank and automatic distributing valve were installed level with
access brought to grade. The STA consisted of one 12 feet by 77 feet by 2-foot-deep pressure-dosed
unlined sand filter constructed with secondary sand media (924 ft2 total STA). The STA contained 4
distribution laterals constructed of 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC with 5/32-inch diameter orifices
every 4-feet on center, facing down, placed directly on washed gravel. The distribution laterals ended in a
90-degree sweeping bend facing up, fitted with a ball valve to allow flushing of the laterals. Additionally,
inspection ports were present at each corner of the bed.
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,
