Permit Conditions:
This OWTS Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the report and design as
submitted by CBO, Inc. dated March 19, 2026. Changes to the design and permit must be approved
by Garfield County Public Health and the designer prior to construction.
The OWTS will serve a new two-bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The OWTS components
will consist of a new 1,000-gallon two compartment septic tank set level with access to grade, an
effluent filter installed in the outlet tee of the tank, and safety grates in each accessible riser.
Schedule 40 PVC pipe shall be provided 5 feet before the inlet of the tank and 5 feet after the outlet
of the tank. The tank must be on the CDPHE list of approved septic tanks. Effluent will gravity flow to
a new distribution box set level with access to grade which will distribute effluent to 528 ft2 of STA.
The new STA will consist of a gravelless chamber bed that will be 12 ft wide and 44 ft long and
contain four rows of 11 ‘Quick 4’ chambers per row for a total of 44 chambers. Inspection ports will
be installed at each corner of each bed. 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.
