1.0 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
Gore Range Engineering (GRE) is pleased to submit this Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS)
Design for the proposed three bedroom residence at 52 Red Canyon Creek Road in Eagle County,
Colorado. The purpose of this report is to explore the subsurface conditions at the site and provide
design details for an OWTS in accordance with current Eagle County Individual Sewage Disposal System
(ISDS) Regulations. Our findings and recommendations are presented below. We also performed a
Wetland Delineation on the property in the proposed development area. We are preparing a Wetland
Delineation Report under a separate cover.
2.0 SITE CONDITIONS
The site is currently a vacant lot that is 35.23 acres in size. In the location of the proposed residence
and OWTS the ground surface slopes moderately down to the west toward Red Canyon Creek, which
flows through the property. To the east of the building site, the ground surface slopes steeply up to the
east. Vegetation in the building area consists primarily of sagebrush and grasses.
3.0 SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted on October 17, 2013. One Profile Pit and three
percolation test holes were excavated at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the
subsurface conditions. The pits were excavated with a mini-trackhoe and logged by a representative of
GRE. No free water was encountered during excavation and the soils were generally slightly moist to
moist. A log of the Profile Pit is provided below.
Log of Profile Pit: Elevation = 7,198’
Depth Soils Encountered (USCS symbol)
0-6" TOPSOIL (OL)
6"-9' SAND (SM); silty, gravelly with subangular cobbles up to 8”, medium dense to dense, slightly moist
to moist, orange-brown.
• Bottom of pit @ 9 feet.
• No free water was observed in the pit at the time of excavation.
4.0 PERCOLATION TESTING
Percolation tests were performed in three test holes by a representative of GRE on August 17, 2013.
The tests were completed at depths of 54 to 69 inches below the adjacent ground surface. Average
percolation test results ranged from 8.0 to 16.0 minutes per inch with an average design percolation
rate of 13.3 minutes per inch. The percolation test results are presented on Figure 2. The average
design percolation rate corresponds to a Long-Term Acceptance Rate of 0.72 gallons per square foot per
day.
Project No. 13-243 October 28, 2013
Page | - 2 - G O R E R A N G E E N G I N E E R I N G
5.0 SOIL ABSORPTION SYSTEM
The recommendations presented below are based on the site conditions encountered and our experience
in the area. If conditions encountered during construction are different than those that are described in
this report please contact us and we will re-evaluate our recommendations.
• The soil absorption system will be 480 square feet and will consist of three trenches with 16
Infiltrator Quick 4 Standard Chambers in each trench.
• Each chamber was given 10 square feet of area per Eagle County guidelines.
• A 50% reduction in absorption area size was applied for use of chambers in a trench
configuration.
• Absorption area calculations are presented on Figure 3.
• A minimum of 12 inches and a maximum of 48 inches of cover soil should be placed over the
chambers.
• The trenches will be connected in a serial distribution system.
• Backfill should be graded to deflect surface water away from the absorption area and should be
sloped at 3H:1V maximum.
• Disturbed soil should be re-vegetated immediately with a native grass mix. No trees, shrubs or
other plants with deep roots should be planted on or near the absorption area as this may
damage piping.
• Four inch diameter inspection ports should be installed at each end of each trench. The
inspection piping should be installed in the knockouts provided in the chambers. The inspection
ports should extend at least 8 inches above the finished ground surface. At least 12, ½ inch
holes should be drilled in the above grade portion of the inspection ports for ventilation.
• A plan view of the absorption area is presented as Figure 4 and a cross section of the absorption
area is presented as Figure 5.
6.0 OWTS COMPONENTS
Recommended OWTS components are based on our design details and our experience with the specific
component manufacturers. Equivalent components may be used if desired; however, they must meet
our minimum recommendations and should be verified by the design engineer.
6.1 SEPTIC AND DOSING TANK
• A Valley Precast, 1,000 gallon, two chamber septic is proposed for primary treatment of
effluent. An effluent filter should be installed in the tank outlet tee. A septic tank detail is
provided as an attachment.
• The tank must be set level. The excavation must be free of large rocks or other objects that
could damage the tank during placement. A gravel base course may be necessary to prevent
tank damage during placement.
• Install tanks with 2 feet minimum cover soil or utilize 2 inch thick foam insulation board for frost
protection.
• Tank installations with 4 feet or more of cover soil over the tank lid should be evaluated by the
design engineer and may require reinforced tank lids.
Project No. 13-243 October 28, 2013
Page | - 3 - G O R E R A N G E E N G I N E E R I N G
• The septic tank lids must extend to within 8 inches of the finished grade; however, we
recommend that they be visible from finished grade for ease of access and maintenance.
6.2 SEWER PIPE
• The sewer line from the residence to the septic tank should not be less than the diameter of the
building drain and not less than 4 inches in diameter.
• The sewer pipe should have a rating of SDR35 or better.
• Sewer pipe should be sloped at 2% minimum from the residence to the septic tank except for
the last 10 feet, which should be sloped at 2% maximum (1% min.) to help limit disturbance of
solids in the tank.
• 36 inches minimum of cover soil should be provided over the sewer pipe. Paved areas, patios
or other areas without vegetative cover may be more susceptible to frost. We recommend 48
inches of soil cover over the sewer pipe in these areas and the pipe be insulated on top and
sides with 2 inch thick blue foam insulation board. If adequate soil cover is not possible, we
should be contacted for re-evaluation prior to installation.
• The sewer pipe should be bedded in compacted ¾ inch roadbase or native soils provided that
the native soils contain no angular rocks or rocks larger than 2½ inches in diameter to help
prevent settlement of the pipe. Sags could cause standing effluent to freeze and damage
piping.
• Install cleanout pipes within 5 feet of building foundation, where the sewer pipe bends 90
degrees or more and every 100 feet of sewer pipe.
• All 90 degree bends should be installed using a 90 degree long-sweep or by using two 45
degree elbows.
• The sewer line location shown on Figure 1 is considered conceptual. We assume that there will
be only one sewer line exiting the residence. It is the responsibility of the owner to locate all
sewer line exit locations and connections to the septic tank.
6.3 EFFLUENT TRANSPORT PIPING
• 4 inch diameter SDR 35 effluent transport piping should be sloped at 2% minimum to drain
from the septic tank to the first trench.
• Serial distribution connections to the lower trenches should also be 4 inch diameter SDR 35
piping sloped at 2% minimum. Serial connections can be made utilizing knockouts provided in
the Infiltrator Multiport End Caps.
• The effluent transport pipe should be bedded in compacted ¾ inch roadbase or native soils
provided that the native soils contain no angular rocks or rocks larger than 2½ inches in
diameter to help prevent settlement of the pipe. Sags could cause standing effluent to freeze
and damage piping.
• 18 inches minimum of cover soil should be provided over the effluent pipe. Paved areas, patios
or other areas without vegetative cover may be more susceptible to frost. We recommend 48
inches of soil cover over the sewer pipe in these areas and the pipe be insulated on top and
sides with 2 inch thick blue foam insulation board. If adequate soil cover is not possible, we
should be contacted for re-evaluation prior to installation.
• All 90 degree bends should be installed using a 90 degree long-sweep or by using two 45
degree elbows.
Project No. 13-243 October 28, 2013
Page | - 4 - G O R E R A N G E E N G I N E E R I N G
• At minimum, one cleanout should be installed for every 100 feet of non-pressurized effluent
transport pipe.
7.0 OWTS OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The OWTS will require periodic inspection and maintenance to function properly. A properly designed,
installed and maintained system can greatly increase the lifespan of an OWTS. The level of maintenance
will vary with the complexity of the system and water use habits of the residents. GRE recommends
that an OWTS Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manual be developed for the system to ensure that it
is properly maintained. Depending on the complexity of the OWTS a contract with an OWTS
maintenance provider may also be prudent. Below are some basic recommendations for OWTS O&M.
7.1 OWTS HOUSEHOLD OPERATION
• Use of high efficiency water fixtures is recommended to decrease the hydraulic load on the
OWTS.
• Fix plumbing leaks immediately as this may cause a hydraulic overload of the soil absorption
system.
• Do not irrigate the area on top of or directly upgradient of the soil absorption system as this
may cause a hydraulic overload.
• Do not dispose of household waste down household drains as this may clog or damage OWTS
components. Examples of household waste that should not be disposed of in drains include:
dental floss, cotton swabs, coffee grounds, paper towels, feminine products and many other
kitchen and bath items.
• Use of kitchen garbage disposals is not recommended for households served by an OWTS. If a
garbage disposal is utilized, kitchen wastewater should be screened thoroughly. Many kitchen
solids are not decomposed in the septic tank and may cause increased pumping frequency to be
necessary.
• Do not dispose of household chemicals, greases, oils, paints, hot tub water or water softener
backwash in household drains. A separate drywell may be necessary for hot tub water or water
softener backwash.
• Limit the use of bleach as this may harm useful bacteria in the septic tank and soil absorption
system.
• Liquid dishwasher and clothes washer detergent is recommended for households served by an
OWTS. Clay substances used as fillers in powder detergents may result in clogging of the soils
absorption system.
• The water in septic tanks can freeze during extended periods of non-use. We recommend that
second homeowners install a tank heater to help prevent freezing.
7.2 OWTS MAINTENANCE
• Inspect the septic tank, effluent filter and soil absorption area at least annually for problems or
signs of failure.
• The effluent filter should be cleaned annually by spray washing solids into the first chamber of
the septic tank.
Project No. 13-243 October 28, 2013
Page | - 5 - G O R E R A N G E E N G I N E E R I N G
• Septic tank should be pumped and cleaned every 3 to 5 years depending on use. Longer
pumping intervals may increase the amount of solids that reach the soil absorption area, which
may shorten its life span.
• Pumping should take place when the level of the sludge and scum layers combined take up 25-
33% of the capacity of the first chamber of the septic tank.
8.0 OWTS CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION
Eagle County requires that the design engineer perform an As-Built Inspection of the OWTS during
construction. All system components (tank, chambers, piping) should be installed, but not
backfilled for the inspection. GRE should be notified at least 48 hours prior to inspection. Eagle
County should also be notified for inspection. The As-Built Inspection will be billed separately at
the time of inspection.
9.0 LIMITATIONS
GRE has conducted this study in accordance with generally accepted engineering principles and practices
in this area at this time. We make no warranty either expressed or implied. The conclusions and
recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the profile pit and
percolation test holes, the proposed type of construction and our experience in the area. Variations in
the subsurface conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions
encountered during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be
notified so that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We are not
responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the project evolves, we should
provide continued consultation and field services during construction to review and monitor the
implementation of our recommendations, and to verify that the recommendations have been
appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may require additional analysis or modifications to
the recommendations presented herein.
It is our opinion that the designed location of the OWTS does not violate any setback requirements of
the current Eagle County ISDS Regulations of any features that are offsite. Below is a table of common
minimum horizontal setbacks to OWTS components. Refer to the Eagle County ISDS Regulations for a
complete list of required setbacks. We recommend the OWTS components be surveyed by a
Professional Colorado Land Surveyor and verified by GRE prior to permitting.

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
This report provides the results of an onsite wastewater treatment system kOWTS) design
for the proposed residence at 52 Red Canyon Creek Road in Eagle County, Colorado.
The purpose of this report was to explore the subsurface conditions at the site and provide
design details for an OWTS in accordance with the 2014 Eagle County Onsite
Wastewater Treatment System Regulations and the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment's Regulation #43. The results of our subsurface exploration and
design recommendations are provided below.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The owners are planning to construct a three bedroom residence on the property. A future
riding arena with an accessory dwelling unit is also proposed. The OWTS was designed
for a total of four bedrooms. The proposed residence and location of the future riding
arena is shown on Figure 1.
SITE CONDITIONS
The lot was vacant at the time of our field exploration. The terrain in the area of the
proposed soil treatment area is moderately to steeply sloped down to the west.
Vegetation consisted of grasses, weeds and sagebrush.
SURFACE WATER AND WETLANDS
Red Canyon Creek flows tluough the property from the north to south. There are
wetlands adjacent to the creek as wells as a small pocket of wetlands between the creek
and the proposed soil treatment area. A 50 feet setback is required from any surface
water or wetlands to the soil treatment area, septic tank, sewer line and effluent lines. We
were unable to maintain the setback from the wetland boundary to the effluent line from
the tank to the soil treatment area. Encroachments of the sewer line and effluent line
Job No. 414 162A Ge�eCh
setback are allowed if the pipe is double encased per Note 2 of Regulation 443 which
states:
"Crossings or encroachments may be permitted at the points as noted above provided
that the water or wastewater conveyance pipe is encased for the minimum setback
distance on each side of the crossing. A length ofpipe shall be used with a minimum
Schedule 40 rating ofsufficient diameter to easily slide over and completely encase the
conveyance. Rigid end caps of at least Schedule 40 rating must be glued or secured in a
watertightfashion to the ends of the encasement pipe. A hole ofsufcient size to
accommodate the pipe shall be drilled in the lowest section of the rigid cap so that the
conveyance pipe rests on the bottom of the encasement pipe. The area in which the pipe
passes through the end caps shall be sealed with an approved underground sealant
compatible with the piping used. "
WELLS
The proposed well location is shown on Figure 1. A 100 feet setback is required from the
soil treatment area to wells. A 50 feet setback is required from wells to sewer lines,
effluent lines and septic tanks.
SUBSURFACEI;XPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted by HP Geotech on July 2, 2014. Two
Profile Pits (Profile Pits 1 and 2) were excavated to evaluate the subsurface conditions.
Logs of the Profile Pits are provided below. The soils encountered consisted of 6 inches
of topsoil overlying weak -blocky silt loam with gravel to the maximum depth explored, 9
feet. Based on the soil test pit evaluations, the infiltrative surface of the soil treatment
area will be located in weak -blocky silt loam soil. The loam soils classify as a Soil Type
2A based Regulation #43. A hydrometer and gradation analysis was performed on a
sample of the soils at the infiltrative surface. A copy of the gradation test results are
provided as Figure 2.

OWTS ANALYSIS
Based on the soil conditions encountered; a below grade Infilhator chamber trench
system will be used at the site. Sewage will be collected in the septic tank and gravity
flow to a dosing chamber where it will be pumped to the soil treatment area. Equal
distribution will be provided by an automatic distributing valve.
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations presented below are based on the site and subsurface conditions
encountered and our experience in the area. If conditions encountered during
construction are different than those that are described in this report please contact us and
we will re-evaluate our recommendations.
SOIL TREATMENT AREA
• The soil treatment system will consist of five trenches containing 12 Infilhator
Quick 4 Plus Standard chambers in each trench (60 chambers total).
Job No. 414 162A G�ach
-4-
• A 20% reduction was applied for pressure distribution and an addition 30%
reduction was applied for use of chambers. Each chamber was given 12 square
feet of absorption area. Soil treatment area calculations are presented on Figure 3.
• A minimum of 12 inches and a maximum of 36 inches of cover soil should be
placed over the chambers.
• Concrete sand may be used as a leveling course beneath the chambers if
necessary.
• Backfill should be graded to deflect surface water away from the absorption area
and should be sloped at 3H:1V maximum.
• Disturbed soil should be re -vegetated immediately with a native grass mix. No
trees, shrubs or other plants with deep roots should be planted on or near the
absorption area as this may damage piping.
• Four inch diameter inspection ports should be installed at both ends of each
trench. The inspection port piping should be placed in the knockouts provided in
the chamber end plates. The inspection ports should extent at least 8 inches above
the finished ground surface or be protected in a valve box at finished grade.
• A plan view of the absorption area is presented as Figure 4 and a cross section of
the absorption area is presented as Figure 5.
OWTS COMPONENTS
Recommended OWTS components were based on our design details and our experience
with the specific component manufacturers. Equivalent components may be used if
desired; however, they must meet our minimum recommendations and should be verified
by the design engineer.
Septic and Dose Tanlc
• A 2,000 gallon, three chamber Front Range Precast septic tank is proposed for
treatment of sewage from the residence. An effluent pump will be installed in the
third chamber of the tank. Pump specifications are provided in the Effluent
Pumping System section of this report. A copy of the tank detail is attached to this
report after the figures.
Job No. 414 162A Ge�itech
-5-
• An effluent filter should be installed in the tee between the second and third
chambers of the tank. A tee handle should be installed on the filter and extend to
within 6 inches of the tank lid.
• The tank must be
set level.
The excavation must be free
of large rocks or other
objects that could
damage
the tank during placement. A
gravel base course
bedding material may be necessary to prevent tank damage during placement.
• Install tanks with 2 feet minimum cover soil for frost protection. Maximum tank
burial depth is 4 feet.
• The septic and dose chamber lids must extend to finished grade.
Sewer Pipe
• The sewer line from the existing residence to the septic tank should not be less
than the diameter of the building drain and not less than 4 inches in diameter.
• The sewer pipe should have a rating of SDR35 or better.
• Sewer pipe should be sloped at 2% minimum from the residence to the septic tank
except for
the last
10 feet, which should be sloped at 4% maximum
0%
minimum)
to help
limit disturbance of solids in the tank.
• 36 inches minimum of cover soil should be provided over the sewer pipe. Paved
areas, patios or other areas without vegetative cover may be more susceptible to
frost. We recommend 48 inches of soil cover over the sewer pipe in these areas
and the pipe be insulated on top and sides with 2 inch thick blue foam insulation
board. If adequate soil cover is not possible, we should be contacted for re-
evaluation prior to installation.
• The sewer pipe should be bedded in compacted'/4 inch road base or native soils
provided that the native soils contain no angular rocks or rocks larger than 2'/z
inches in diameter to help prevent settlement of the pipe. Sags could cause
standing effluent to freeze and damage piping.
• Install cleanout pipes within 5 feet of building foundation, where the sewer pipe
bends 90 degrees or more and every 100 feet of sewer pipe.
• A1190 degree bends should be installed using a 90 degree long -sweep or by using
two 45 degree elbows.
Job No. 414 162A Gec�teCh
-6-
• The sewer line locations shown on Figure 1 are considered conceptual. We
assume that there will be only one sewer line exiting the existing residence and
one sewer line
exiting
the fixture riding arena. It is the responsibility of the owner
to locate all sewer line
exit locations and
connections to the septic tank.
Effluent Transport Piping
• 1.25 inch diameter Schedule 40 effluent transport piping should be sloped at 2%
minimum to drain from the automatic distributing valve (ADV) back to the dose
chamber and from the ADV to the treatment area after each pumping cycle. The
ADV must be the high point of the system.
• The effluent transport pipe should be bedded in compacted'/4 inch road base or
native soils provided that the native soils contain no angular rocks or rocks larger
than 2%2 inches in diameter to help prevent settlement of the pipe. Sags could
cause standing effluent to freeze and damage piping.
• 18 inches minimum of cover soil should be provided over the effluent transport
pipe. Paved areas, patios or other areas without vegetative cover may be more
susceptible to frost. We recommend 48 inches of soil cover over the sewer pipe in
these areas. If adequate cover soil is not possible the effluent pipe should be
insulated on top and sides with 2 inch thick foam insulation board and the design
engineer should re-evaluate soil cover prior to installation.
• The effluent pipe should be double encased with larger diameter Schedule 40 PVC
pipe underneath driveway surfaces and be provided with at least 48 inches of soil
cover and be insulated on top and sides with 2 inch thick foam insulation board.
• A1190 degree bends should be installed using a 90 degree long -sweep or by using
two 45 degree elbows.
Soil Treatment Area Distribution Piping
• 1.25 inch diameter Schedule 40 distribution piping will be hung level inside of the
chambers.
• The piping should be secured with 120 pound minimum tensile strength plastic zip
ties. Use at least one zip tie per chamber.
Job No. 414 162A
-7-
• 5/32 inch diameter perforations should be drilled on top of the distribution piping.
One perforation should be placed near the center of each of the 12 chambers.
• Drill one additional 5/32 inch hole at each end of each lateral on the bottom of the
pipes to allow for drainage. Place a splash block beneath the downward facing
holes to protect from scouring.
Effluent Pumping System
• A Goulds PE51, 115 volt, submersible effluent pump with a 1.5 inch diameter
discharge assembly, or equivalent, will be required for effluent pumping.
• The maximum effluent transport distance from the pump discharge to the ADV is
estimated to be 150 feet and an additiona142 feet after the ADV to the field.
• The elevation difference from pump discharge to the dose tank is estimated to be
20 feet.
• An equivalent pump must be capable of operating at 10.2 gallons per minute at
32.6 feet of total dynamic head. A pump performance curve is provided as an
attachment to this report.
The floats should be set to provide a dose volume of approximately 90 gallons.
The actual dose volume will be approximately 79 gallons assuming an effluent
drainback volume of 11 gallons in the transport piping. To achieve the desired
dose volume the upper ("ON") and lower ("OFF") floats should be set
approximately 8'/4 inches apart.
• The high water alarm float should be placed approximately 3 inches above the
"ON" float in the dose tank.
• A %e inch diameter weep hole should be drilled in the effluent transport line prior
to exiting the dose chamber so the transport line can drain after each pumping
cycle.
• The flow differential between the first and last orifices in each trench has been
calculated to be approximately 2.4%.
• Cleanouts must be installed at the end of each distribution line. A cleanout detail
is provided as Figure 6.
Job No. 414 162A Ge�itech
-8-
Automatic Distributing Valve
• An Orenco V6605 Automatic Distributing Valve (ADV) will be used to alternate
doses to each of the trenches.
• The
ADV must be
installed level
and must be the
high point in
the system.
• The
ADV should
be installed in
a sprinkler box,
or equivalent,
such that it is
serviceable and protected fiom freezing. We recommend the ADV be equipped
with heat tape for additional frost protection during winter months.
• We recommend the ground surface be graded away from the ADV in all
directions. Improper surface drainage could cause standing water to freeze and
damage the valve and/or piping.
• The valve has clear sections of pipe that should be inspected at least annually to
ensure that it is alternating doses to each trench.
OWTS OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The OWTS will require periodic inspection and maintenance to function properly. A
properly designed, installed and maintained system can greatly increase the lifespan of
the system. The level of maintenance will vary with the complexity of the system and
water use habits of the residents. We recommend that an OWTS Operation and
Maintenance (O&M) Manual be developed for the system to ensure that it is properly
maintained. Depending on the complexity of the system a contract with an OWTS
maintenance provider may also be prudent. Below are some basic recommendations for
OWTS O&M.
CYii:IIKY.l;�111.�[�I�YZYI�d 7�Y[YLI
• Use of high efficiency water fixtures is recommended to decrease the hydraulic
load on the OWTS.
• Fix plumbing leaks immediately as this may cause a hydraulic overload of the soil
absorption system.
• Do not irrigate the area on top of or directly upgradient of the soil absorption
system as this may cause a hydraulic overload.
Job No.414 ]62A Ge�tecFt
-9-
• Do not dispose
of household
waste down household drains as this may clog
or
damage OWTS
components.
Examples of household waste
that should not
be
disposed of in drains include: dental floss, cotton swabs, coffee grounds, paper
towels, feminine products and many other kitchen and bath items.
• Use of kitchen garbage disposals is not recommended for households served by an
OWTS. If a garbage disposal is utilized, kitchen wastewater should be screened
thoroughly. Many kitchen solids are not decomposed in the septic tank and may
cause increased pumping frequency.
• Do not dispose of household chemicals, greases, oils, paints, hot tub water or
water softener backwash in household drains. A separate drywell, if feasible, may
be necessary for hot tub water or water softener backwash disposal.
• Limit the use of bleach as this may harm useful bacteria in the septic tank and soil
absorption system.
• Liquid dishwasher and clothes washer detergent is recommended for households
served by an OWTS. Clay substances used as fillers in powder detergents may
result in clogging of the soils absorption system.
• The water in septic tanks can fieeze during extended periods of non-use. We
recommend that second homeowners install a tank heater to help prevent freezing.
OWTS MAINTENANCE
• Inspect the septic tank, effluent filter, ADV and soil heatment area at least
annually for problems or signs of failure.
• The effluent filter should be cleaned annually by spray washing solids into the
fi
rst chamber of the septic tank.
• Septic tank should be pumped and cleaned every 3 to 5 years depending on use.
Longer pumping intervals may increase the amount of solids that reach the soil
absorption area, which may shorten its We span.
• Pumping should take place when the level of the sludge and scum layers
combined take up 25 to 33% of the capacity of the first chamber of the septic tank.

OWTS CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION
The Eagle County Environmental Health Department requires that the designer provide
an as -built certification of the OWTS construction. HP Geotech should be provided with
at least 48 hour notice prior to the installer needing inspection. Prior to issuance of our
certification letter, we require observation of all system components prior to backfill.
Number of visits required will be dependent on the installer's construction schedule.
LIMITATIONS
We have conducted this study in accordance with generally accepted engineering
principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either expressed
or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based
upon the data obtained from the profile pits, percolation test results, soil texture analysis,
subsurface conditions encountered, the proposed type of construction and our experience
in the area. Variations in the subsurface conditions may not become evident until
excavation is performed. If conditions encountered during construction appear different
from those described in this report, we should be notified so that re-evaluation of the
recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We
are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the
project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during
construction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to
verify that the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design
changes may require additional analysis or modifications to the recommendations
presented herein.
It is our opinion that the designed location of the OWTS does not violate any setback
requirements of the current Eagle County Regulations. Below is a table of common
minimum horizontal setbacks to OWTS components. Refer to the Eagle County
lob No. 414 162A h
Regulations for a complete list of required setbacks. We recommend the OWTS
components be surveyed by a Professional Colorado Land Surveyor and verified by HP
Geotech prior to permitting.

Subject: As -Built Evaluation of Onsite Wastewater Treatment System, Proposed
Residence, 52 Red Canyon Creek Road, Lot 1, Red Canyon Estates, Eagle
County, Colorado.
Dear Ms. Whitman:
Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. (HP Geotech) observed the installation of the Onsite
Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) for the proposed residence at the subject property.
The OWTS components observed include: sewer pipe, cleanout, septic tank, pump and pump
operation, effluent transport pipe, soil treatment area, automatic distribution valve (ADV),
cleanouts, inspection ports and the locations of components. We previously designed an
OWTS for the subject site and presented our recommendations in a report dated September
11, 2014 under the same job number. Our observations and recommendations are presented
in the following paragraphs.
We performed our As -Built site evaluation on November 6t" and December 19t", 2014 and we
performed a pump operation and ADV test on October 3ra, 2015. The installation, operation
and locations of system components were verified as shown on Figure 1. During our initial
site inspection we observed several deficiencies with the installation requiring an additional
site visit. The deficiencies included: incorrect size of effluent transport piping, improper
slope on effluent transport piping, incorrect installation of ADV, incorrect number of
Infiltrator chambers and no distribution piping to ends of trenches. The contractor had
corrected the problems during our December 10, 2014 site visit. The septic tank and
effluent transport piping were moved uphill slightly to accommodate the required 50 feet
setback to wetlands, which eliminated the need for pipe encasement as stated in our design.
The wetland setback was verified during our site inspection. Photographs of the OWTS
installation are provided in the attached Photograph Log.

It is our opinion that the OWTS was installed in general conformance with our September 11,
2014 design. The observations and recommendations presented above are based on our site
observations and our experience in the area. We make no warranty either express or implied.
Alterations to the system or improper backfill and site grading could affect the operation and
effectiveness of the OWTS.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding this letter.
