Subject: Soils Evaluation, Percolation Tests and Design Recommendations for
Individual Sewage System Design for Homestead Lot 43, Panorama Subdivision,
Garfield County, CO on Sunlight Drive
Dear Glenn,
As requested, Nelson Environmental and Wastewater Solutions, Ltd., performed a soils
study and percolation tests to recommend a design for a septic system for the proposed
residence being moved from another part of the property. We conducted this study
according to Section VII. of the Colorado Department of Health - Guidelines for
Individual Sewage Systems (1988). We have based our recommendations on the
subsurface conditions encountered.
Proposed Construction:
This planned residence is a five bedroom, four bathroom, two -story house. The
location of the proposed residence and sewage disposal field are shown on Figure 1.
With water conserving toilets, the wastewater flow from this residence is estimated to
be 600 gallons per day (GPD).
Site Conditions:
The investigated site is a 5 -acre lot on Missouri Heights. The property is served by
subdivision wells. The ground surface, which appears natural in the proposed area of
the absorption field, slopes to the Southwest at an 18% grade. There is an old
irrigation ditch below the building area. The foundation of the house was staked at the
time of our investigation, but otherwise, the site was vacant. There was a typical
vegetation pattern of sagebrush, grasses and cactus over the property.
Subsurface Conditions:
A soil profile pit, within 25 feet of the proposed absorption area, was excavated to a
depth of five feet where digging became difficult. No ground water was encountered in
the profile excavation. Bedrock was not present within profile pit. However, there was
an abundance of loose cobble and basalt on the surface and within the subsoil matrix.
The basalt exceeded 40% of the volume below three feet. These rocks were from three
inches to forty- inches in diameter and intermixed with the subsoil from approximately
one foot and down. The soil textures encountered were a clay loam topsoil about six

inches deep, and a calcareous sandy silt about sixteen inches deep that grades into a
matrix of calcareous, very cobbly, sandy clay loam and basalt to the bottom of the
profile hole
Percolation Testing:
The subsurface soil conditions were evaluated with the standard percolation test
procedures at the approximate location shown on Figure 1. The test holes were hand
dug in the bottom of shallow backhoe excavations. The subsoil in which the
percolation testing was run, consisted of sandy loam or clay loam. This soil was well
consolidated, and showed little tendency to swell. No smearing or compaction was
observed in the backhoe excavations.
Percolation testing was performed in the proposed absorption area Southwest of the
building footprint. The percolation holes were hand dug in the location of the proposed
absorption field at the bottom of backhoe excavations prepared earlier. Three inches
of gravel were placed in the bottom of each hole. The holes were dug to a total depth
of from thirty -six to forty -nine inches. The percolation holes were pre- soaked the
morning of the percolation testing by adding six gallons of water to each hole. Water
was then added to top off the holes approximately every hour for a period of four hours
before beginning the percolation test.
The results of the percolation testing are presented in Table I. These results indicate
the clay loam soils have an average percolation rate of 26 minutes per inch and are
acceptable for an infiltration design for the on -site sewage system. Some variability in
the percolation test measurements can be accounted for because of the presence of
the stones in the subsoil.
Minimum County Requirements:
The percolation rates in the clay loam subsoil were measured at an average of 26
minutes per inch.
The minimum Garfield County requirements for this installation are based on a system
flow of 750 gallons per day. This flow would require a septic tank of 1500 gallons
minimum volume.
Under some jurisdictions, including Garfield County, additional absorption area must be
provided for the washer and garbage disposal. The increase is 40% if there is a

washing machine and 20% more if there is a garbage disposal in the residence. This
brings the total area requirement for this residence to a minimum of 1800 square feet of
standard absorption trench. We believe it is prudent to size the absorption area with a
washing machine and disposal in mind. However, if no disposal is planned the
absorption area required is 1440 square feet of absorption trench.
A standard absorption trench is defined as follows:
/ yv A standard absorption trench is an excavation less than three -feet (3') wide and
a- containing a single 4 -inch (4 ") perforated distribution pipe in the center. A
F
fid minimum of six - inches (6 ") of 1/2 inch to 2 1/2 inch diameter gravel is placed
/A under the distribution pipe. A sufficient amount of additional gravel is placed
around and over the distribution pipe and to bed and cover the pipe with a
minimum of two inches (2 ") of gravel.
t
v g, ` A minimum of two trenches, no longer than 100 feet, is required for any installation.
Recommended On - site Wastewater Disposal Peskin:
I y � Because of the difficult stony conditions in the building area, we believe that the best
w� construction technique for the absorption field is shallow trenches placed on the
,glut contour of the slope.
We recommend that the sewage system consist of a 1500 - gallon concrete septic tank,
a distribution box, and several laterals of absorption trench.
The site is quite a distance from the main roads. As a result, we believe that the
access to this area makes the use of gravel somewhat less attractive. We would
suggest that you plan a method of construction that uses one of the graveless systems.
The use of "Infiltrator leaching chambers, or the like, also permits a 50% reduction
in absorption area under State Guidelines. This reduction is based on manufacturer's
claims that the soil interface is not masked by gravel, and on an approval of such a
reduction by the Colorado Department of Health, Water Quality Control Division. This
type of construction would require 300 lineal feet of shallow trench excavation, three
feet wide.
Therefore, the suggested design incorporates the use of the alternative listed above.
We recommend that the septic system consist of the septic tank, placed near the
residence, and four trenches, each 75 feet long. It is advisable to excavate these

trenches as shallow as possible, to a depth of no more than four feet, and to place
each of the trenches on contour. The minimum required separation between trenches
is six feet, although excavators often find that a ten foot separation makes the system
easier to install. It is advisable to use a distribution box, placed just above the top
trench, to equalize the flow to each of the four trenches.
Limitations: This report has been prepared according to generally accepted practices
in this area for use for sewage disposal design purposes. The conclusions and
recommendations submitted in this report are based upon data obtained from our site
visits at the location indicated. There is some possibility that the nature and extent of
variations in the subsurface soils across the site may not have been evident at the time
of this investigation, and may need additional evaluation if further excavation reveals
conditions different from those described. This office should be advised of any unusual
situations as soon as possible so we may reevaluate our recommendations.
If you have questions or if we may be of further assistance, please call the office.
Sincerely,
Robert F. Nelson
President
