Inspection Notes
The above-referenced permit has been inspected and finalized.
The Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) was designed and installed to serve the new three bedroom residence on
the above property. Additional information about the maintenance of your septic system needs can be accessed through our
website links, provided on the Environmental Health Department’s septic system resource page.
Be aware that changes in the use of your property or alterations of your building may require commensurate changes to, or
relocation of, your septic system. Landscape features, trees with taproots, irrigation systems, and parking areas above the
soil treatment area can cause a premature system failure. It is equally important that you notice and immediately repair
dripping faucets and hissing toilets as this will certainly cause the system to fail. If you have any questions regarding this
information, please contact us at (970) 328-8755 and reference the OWTS septic permit number.

Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
3148 Upper Cattle Creek Road
Eagle County, Colorado
Permit Number OWTS-017720-2019
Jim,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS)
on May 18, 2019 for the subject property. Hughes Excavation installed the system.
The OWTS design is based on 3-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 450 GPD was used.
A new, 4-inch diameter SDR-35 sewer line with a double sweep clean out and minimum 2% grade to the
septic tank was installed. The installation included a 1500-gallon, two-compartment Valley Precast
concrete septic tank with an Orenco® ProPak pumping system and PF3005 pump. There is an effluent
filter in the second compartment of the septic tank. The effluent filter in the pump chamber must be
cleaned annually, or as needed.
The floats were set to dose approximately 80 gallons each pump cycle, allowing for approximately 40
gallons of drain back into the pump chamber after each pump cycle. The pumping system was wired and
is operational. We recommend Valley Precast out of Buena Vista perform start up on the pumping
system.
A 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 pump line was installed from the pump to an Orenco® automatic
distributing valve (ADV), model 6403. This pump line must have a minimum 1% grade for proper drain back
into the tank after each pump cycle. The ADV was placed at a high point in the system in an insulated riser
with access from grade.
Effluent is pressure dosed through 1.5-inch diameter pipes to three trenches, each with 12 ‘ARC’ ADS
chambers, for a total of 36 chambers and 540 square feet of infiltrative area. There was at least 4-feet of
undisturbed soil between each trench. Effluent is pressure dosed to 1.5-inch diameter laterals, which
were hung with zip ties from the underside of the chambers. Laterals have 5/32-inch diameter orifices
facing up, with the exception of the first and last holes facing down for drainage. The orifices were
placed 3-feet on center. Each lateral ends in a 90 degree ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing.
Valves were placed in a valve box, accessible from grade, for access. Inspection ports were placed at the
beginning and end of each trench. Ports may be cut to grade and covered with a valve box for access.
The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of
workmanship and/or parts and materials. ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified if changes are
made to the OWTS in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the county
regulations.
LIMITS: Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer must
have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in
which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent of the expertise of the installer, soil
type, and weather conditions.
Please call with questions.

Subsurface Investigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
3-Bedroom Residence
3148 Upper Cattle Creek Road
Eagle County, Colorado
Jim
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater
treatment system (OWTS) design for the subject residence. The almost 600-acre property is located
outside of Basalt, in an area where OWTSs and wells are necessary. The original design has been
modified to specify a larger septic tank to meet the required 48-hour retention time. Original design
documents dated August 28, 2019 should be replaced with these dated November 6, 2019.
Legal Description: See Enclosed “Property Report Card” from Eagle County Assessor’s website
Parcel ID: 2391-232-00-001
SITE CONDITIONS
The property is developed with two single-family residences and a mobile home. All are served by
separate OWTSs not addressed in this design.
A new, 3-bedroom, single-family residence is proposed. This design references the OWTS that will serve
the new residence.
The proposed building site on the property is in a large meadow. The proposed soil treatment area
(STA) is located to the south of the proposed residence and upgradient. The meadow is covered with
native grasses.
There is an abandoned irrigation ditch to the south of the proposed STA. This ditch does not run. A
minimum 25-foot setback will be maintained from the STA to the abandoned ditch.
The residence will be served by a private well. The well will be located to the north east of the proposed
residence. The well will be located greater than 50-feet from the proposed septic tank and greater than
100-feet from the proposed STA.
Table 1 describes the minimum required setback of OWTS components to physical features on the
property compared to approximate, proposed setback distances.

SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on June 4 and July 29, 2019 by digging seven soil profile test pit
excavations (Test Pits). A visual and tactile soil analysis was completed by Carla Ostberg at the time of
excavation.1
The two soil horizons encountered on the property were dark brown clay loam topsoil underlain by light
brown to tan calcareous sandy silt which is sometimes described as “caliche”. The material grades out
with finer particles similar to clay; however, accepts water.
The first set of Test Pits (Test Pits #1 - #4) were excavated to the north and east of the proposed house
location. With the exception of Test Pit #1, all Test Pits had a topsoil horizon extending deeper than 4-feet
below native grade. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered.
The second set of Test Pits (Test Pits #5 - #7) were excavated to the south of the proposed residence.
The materials encountered in Test Pit #6 consisted of dark brown, clay loam to 3-feet, underlain by light
brown to tan “caliche” to a maximum depth explored of 7.0-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was
encountered.
The materials encountered in Test Pit #7 were consistent with those encountered in Test Pit #6. The test
pit was explored to a maximum depth of 7.0-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered.
A sample was taken from below the dark brown topsoil horizon in Test Pit #6. The sample formed a ball
and a ribbon less than 1-inch in length before breaking. Soil structure shape was loose to blocky,
structure grade was moderate, consistent was loose to friable, and texture was more smooth than gritty.
STA sizing is based on Soil Type 2A to be conservative.
A long term acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.5 gallons per square foot will be used to design the
OWTS.
Test Pits #1 - #4 excavated to the north of the proposed residence

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Design Calculations:
Average Design Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 3 Bedrooms = 450 GPD
LTAR = 0.6 GPD/SF
450 GPD / 0.5 GPD/SF x 0.8 (pressure dosed trenches) x 0.7 (chambers) = 504 SF
The OWTS design is based on 3-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 450 GPD will be used.
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation at grade 7423.25’ has been established as
100’ (finished floor). ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with
grade elevations of proposed components during installation of the OWTS.
OWTS Component Minimum Elevation
Primary Tank Inlet Invert 97.5’ (7420.75’)
Automatic Distributing Valve 102.75’ (7426’)
Infiltrative Surface 102.25’ (7425.5’)
A new, 4-inch diameter SDR-35 sewer line with a double sweep clean out and minimum 2% grade to the
septic tank must be installed.
The installation must include a 1500-gallon, two-compartment Valley Precast concrete septic tank with an
Orenco® ProPak pumping system and PF3005 pump. The floats must be set to dose approximately 80
gallons each pump cycle, allowing for approximately 40 gallons of drain back into the pump chamber
after each pump cycle.
Risers must be installed on the septic tank to bring access to grade. Handle extensions on both the
effluent filter and float tree must be installed if the riser height exceeds 1-foot. The control panel must be
located within line of sight of the septic tank. We recommend Valley Precast out of Buena Vista perform
start up on the pumping system.
A 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 pump line must be installed from the pump to an Orenco® automatic
distributing valve (ADV), model 6403. This pump line must have a minimum 1% grade for proper drain back
into the tank after each pump cycle. The ADV must be placed at a high point in the system and be placed in
an insulated riser with access from grade. Screened rock must be placed below the ADV to support the
ADV and to assure the clear pipes exiting the ADV remain visible for future inspection and maintenance.
Page 9
Effluent will be pressure dosed through 1.5-inch diameter pipes to three trenches, each with 14 ‘Quick 4’
Infiltrator® chambers, for a total of 42 chambers and 504 square feet of infiltrative area. There must be
at least 4-feet of undisturbed soil between each trench, although we recommend at least 6-feet. Effluent
will be pressure dosed to 1.5-inch diameter laterals, which must be hung with zip ties from the underside
of the chambers. Laterals will have 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing up, with the exception of the first
and last holes facing down for drainage. Orenco® Orifice Shields may be placed under each downward-
facing orifice. The orifices must be placed 3-feet on center. Each lateral must end in a 90 degree ell
facing up with a ball valve for flushing. Valves may be placed in a valve box, accessible from grade, for
access. Inspection ports must be placed at the beginning and end of each trench. Ports may be cut to
grade and covered with a valve box for access.
The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area.
Alternatives may be considered or recommended by contacting our office. Construction must be
according to Eagle County On-Site Wastewater Treatment System Regulations, the OWTS Permit provided
by Eagle County Environmental Health Department, and this design.
INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC expects that the installer be experienced and qualified to perform the scope of
work outlined in this design. The installer must review this design thoroughly and coordinate with our office
in advance of installation. Any additional conditions in this design or county permit must be completed and
documented prior to final approval of the OWTS installation. Communication between the installer and this
office is expected throughout the installation.
INSTALLATION OBSERVATIONS
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC must view the OWTS during construction. The OWTS observation should be
performed before backfill, after placement of OWTS components. Septic tanks, distribution devices,
pumps, dosing siphons, and other plumbing, as applicable, must also be observed. ALL SERVICE septic,
LLC should be notified 48 hours in advance to observe the installation.
In an effort to improve the accuracy of the record drawing, we request that the installer provide a
sketch of the installation, including path of the sewer lines, water line installation (if applicable),
septic tank location, STA location, and measurements from building corners or another fixed
objects on the property. This sketch is most easily provided on Sheet W2.0 of the OWTS Design
Packet. Photographs of the installation and final cover are also requested to supplement our installation
documentation.
REVEGETATION REQUIREMENTS
An adequate layer of good quality topsoil capable of supporting revegetation shall be placed over the entire
disturbed area of the OWTS installation. A mixture of native grass seed that has good soil stabilizing
characteristics (but without taproots), provides a maximum transpiration rate, and competes well with
successional species. No trees or shrubs, or any vegetation requiring regular irritation shall be placed over
the area. Until vegetation is reestablished, erosion and sediment control measures shall be implemented
and maintained on site. The owner of the OWTS shall be responsible for maintaining proper vegetation
cover.
OPERATION INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE
The property owner shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of each OWTS servicing the
property. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service contracts for manufactured units,
alternating STAs, and any other components needing maintenance.
Page 10
Geo-fabrics or plastics should not be used over the STA. No heavy equipment, machinery, or materials
should be placed on the backfilled STA. Livestock should not graze on the STA. Plumbing fixtures should be
checked to ensure that no additional water is being discharged to OWTS. For example, a running toilet or
leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm a STA.
If an effluent filter or screen has been installed in the OWTS, we recommend this filter or screen be cleaned
annually, or as needed. If the OWTS consists of a pressurized pump system, we recommend the laterals be
flushed annually, or as needed.
The homeowner should pump the septic tank every two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of
solids in the tank. Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non-biodegradable materials should not
be placed into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in household drains. Loading from a water softener
should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the OWTS.
Mechanical room drains should not discharge into the OWTS. The OWTS is engineered for domestic waste
only.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES
If design includes a pump, weep holes must be installed to allow pump lines to drain to minimize risk of
freezing. The pump shall have an audible and visual alarm notification in the event of excessively high
water conditions and shall be connected to a control breaker separate from the high water alarm breaker
and from any other control system circuits. The pump system shall have a switch so the pump can be
manually operated.
Excavation equipment must not drive in excavation of the STA due to the potential to compact soil.
Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components to allow access to them from existing grade.
Backfill over the STA must be uniform and granular with no material greater than minus 3-inch.
LIMITS:
The design is based on information submitted. If soil conditions encountered are different from conditions
described in report, ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified. All OWTS construction must be
according to the county regulations. Requirements not specified in this report must follow applicable
county regulations. The contractor should have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the
requirements and regulations of the county in which they are working. Licensing of Systems Contractors
may be required by county regulation.
Please call with questions.

Biotube® ProPak Pump Package™
Technical Data SheetOrenco®
60-Hz Series Pump Packages General
Orenco’s Biotube® ProPak™ is a complete, integrated pump package for
filtering and pumping effluent from septic tanks. And its patented pump
vault technology eliminates the need for separate dosing tanks.
This document provides detailed information on the ProPak pump vault
and filter, 4-in. (100-mm) 60-Hz turbine effluent pump, and control panel.
For more information on other ProPak components, see the following
Orenco technical documents:
• Float Switch Assemblies (NSU-MF-MF-1)
• Discharge Assemblies (NTD-HV-HV-1)
• Splice Boxes (NTD-SB-SB-1)
• External Splice Box (NTD-SB-SB-1)
Applications
The Biotube ProPak is designed to filter and pump effluent to either
gravity or pressurized discharge points. It is intended for use in a septic
tank (one- or two-compartment) and can also be used in a pump tank.
The Biotube ProPak is designed to allow the effluent filter to be removed
for cleaning without the need to remove the pump vault or pump, simpli-
fying servicing.
Complete packages are available for on-demand or timed dosing sys-
tems with flow rates of 20, 30, and 50-gpm (1.3, 1.9, and 3.2 L/sec),
as well as with 50 Hz and 60 Hz power supplies.

Pump Curves
Pump curves, such as those shown here, can help you determine
the best pump for your system. Pump curves show the relationship
between flow (gpm or L/sec) and pressure (TDH), providing a graphical
representation of a pump’s performance range. Pumps perform best
at their nominal flow rate, measured in gpm or L/sec.

Using a Pump Curve
A pump curve helps you determine the best pump for your system. Pump curves show the relationship between flow (gpm or L/sec) and pressure
(total dynamic head, or TDH), providing a graphical representation of a pump’s optimal performance range. Pumps perform best at their nominal
flow rate — the value, measured in gpm, expressed by the first two numerals in an Orenco pump nomenclature. The graphs in this section show
optimal pump operation ranges with a solid line. Flow flow rates outside of these ranges are shown with a dashed line. For the most accurate
pump specification, use Orenco’s PumpSelect™ software.

Introduction
Orenco’s automatic distributing valve assemblies, pressurized with small high-head effluent
pumps, are useful for distributing effluent to multiple zones. These zones can be segments
of sand filter manifolds, drainfields, or other effluent distribution systems. Distributing
valve assemblies can substantially simplify the design and installation of a distribution sys-
tem and reduce installation costs. This is particularly true where a distributing valve assem-
bly is used instead of multiple pumps and/or electrically operated valves. Additionally, a
reduction in long term operation and maintenance costs is realized due to a reduced size
and/or number of pumps. More even distribution can be achieved on sloping sites by zoning
laterals at equal elevations. This eliminates drainback to lower lines and the unequal distrib-
ution of effluent that occurs at the beginning of a cycle.
Valve Operation
The valve itself has only a few moving parts, requires no electricity, and alternates automati-
cally each cycle. Refer to Figure 1 for the following valve operation description. The flow
of the incoming effluent forces the rubber flap disk 1 to seat against the valve bottom 2.
The opening 3 in the rubber flap disk aligns with an opening in the valve bottom to allow
flow to only one valve outlet. The stem 4 houses a stainless steel spring which pushes the
rubber flap disk away from the valve bottom after the flow of effluent stops. The stem acts
as a cam follower and rotates the rubber flap disk as the stem is raised and lowered through
the cam 5. The force from the flow of effluent pushes the stem down through the cam and
the stainless steel spring pushes the stem back up through the cam when the flow of effluent
stops. Each linear motion of the stem allows the rubber flap disk to rotate half the distance
necessary to reach the next outlet. When there is no flow, the rubber flap disk is in the “up”
position and is not seated against the valve bottom.

CRITERIA, call Orenco Systems, Inc. at 1-800-348-9843.
The Distributing Valve Assembly
The Orenco Automatic Distributing Valve Assembly combines the distributing valve itself and sever-
al other components to give a complete preassembled unit that is easy to install, monitor, and main-
tain. Figure 2 shows a complete assembly. Because distributing valves with several outlets can be
difficult to line up and glue together in the field, the discharge lines in the assemblies are glued in
place at Orenco. The unions (1) allow removal and maintenance of the valve. The clear PVC pipe
sections (2) give a visual check of which discharge line is being pressurized. The inlet ball valve (3)
allows a quick, simple method to test for proper valve cycling. The ball valve also stops the flow of
effluent in case the pump is activated unexpectedly during maintenance or inspection. Check valves
may be necessary on the discharge lines. Use of check valves is discussed in the valve positioning
section.
Valve Assembly Hydraulics
Liquid flowing through the valve assembly must pass through fairly small openings and make several
changes in direction. Because of this, headlosses through the valve assembly are fairly high. Table 1
gives the headloss equations for several different assemblies and Figure 3 shows the graphical repre-
sentations of these equations. Orenco recommends that high-head turbine pumps be used to pressur-
ize the valve assemblies to ensure enough head is available for proper system operation. High-head
turbine pumps are also recommended because the use of a distributing valve usually requires more
frequent pump cycling. The high-head turbine pumps are designed for high cycling systems and will
outlast conventional effluent pumps by a factor of 10 or more in a high cycling mode. Furthermore,
the high-head turbine pump intake is 12 inches or more above the bottom of the pump and tends to
prevent any settled solids from being pumped into the distribution valve and obstructing its opera-
tion. A minimum flow rate through the distributing valve is required to ensure proper seating of the
rubber flap disk. Minimum flow rates for the various models are given in Table 1.

The Pumping System
Although the distributing valve was designed for the irrigation industry, it has started to gain fairly
wide acceptance in the effluent pumping industry. However, because of the mechanical movements
of the valve, it is necessary to take steps to prevent solids from reaching the distributing valve that
may impede the operation of the valve. Orenco Biotube®Pump Vaults — when properly sized and
installed — provide the necessary protection to prevent valve malfunction. The Biotube®pump vault
accepts effluent only from the clear zone between a tank’s scum and sludge layers and then filters
this effluent through a very large surface area screen cartridge. Without this protection in effluent
systems, the valve has very little chance of reliable long-term operation.
Figure 3:
Automatic distributing valve assembly headloss curves
Valve Positioning
The physical position of the valve in relation to the pump and the discharge point is very important
for proper valve operation. The most reliable operation occurs when the valve is placed at the high
point in the system and as close to the pump as possible. The transport line between the pump and
valve should be kept full if possible. If the line is empty at the beginning of each cycle, pockets of
air during filling can cause random rotation of the valve. The valve is particularly vulnerable to this
erratic rotation with empty lines that are long and not laid at a constant grade. An ideal valve loca-
tion is shown in Figure 4.
If the final discharge point is more than about 2 feet above the valve and the system does not drain
back into the dosing tank, check valves should be installed on the lines immediately following the
valve and a pressure release hole or line should be installed just prior to the valve. This pressure
release hole or line can go into a return line to the dosing tank or to a “minidrainfield” near the valve.
In order for the valve to rotate reliably, no more than about 2 feet of head should remain against the
valve to allow the rubber flap disk to return to its up position. In many cases, it may take from one
minute to several minutes for the pressure in the valve to be lowered enough for proper rotation to
occur. Special care should be taken when installing systems controlled by programmable timers to
ensure cycling does not occur too rapidly. Figure 5 illustrates a valve assembly using check valves.
Pumping downhill to the valve should be avoided unless the transport line is very short and the ele-
vation between the discharge line out of the tank and the valve is less than about 2 feet. If the valve
is located many feet below the dosing tank, random cycling may occur while the transport line drains
through the valve at the end of the cycle. A pressure sustaining valve located just before the distrib-
uting valve may overcome this problem in some instances.

System Startup
Refer to the Hydrotek Valve booklet that is provided with the distributing valve assembly for the
sequencing of the valve outlets. The transport line should always be flushed with clean water before
installing the valve. Any sand, gravel, or other foreign objects that may have been in the pipe during
installation can easily become lodged in the distributing valve, causing malfunction.
With the pump running, alternately close and open the ball valve on the distributing valve assembly
to check proper rotation of the valve. (Note: If check valves are used on the lines after the distribut-
ing valve, the pump may need to be turned on and off to allow the pressure to be released from the
valve.) If visual operation of which zone is operating is not possible, watch the clear pipe on each
line for indication of which zone is operating.
Maintenance
Annually check for proper operation by following procedures listed in the Hydrotek Valve booklet
and system startup procedures listed above.
Troubleshooting
1. PROBLEM: Valve does not change or cycle to next zone or outlet
CAUSE: The stem and disk assembly is not rotating when water flow is turned off and then
back on.
SOLUTION 1: Ensure that there is no debris inside the cam. Clean and carefully reinstall the cam.
SOLUTION 2: If fewer than the maximum number of outlets are being used, check the installation
of the cam. Ensure that the stem and disk assembly is not being held down by an
improperly installed cam. Refer to the cam replacement instructions.

SOLUTION 3: Remove the valve top and check for proper movement of stem and disk assembly.
Check for and remove any debris or foreign objects that may jam or retard the
movement of the disk.
SOLUTION 4: Check for freedom of movement of stem and disk assembly up and down over the
center pin in bottom of valve. Scale deposits may build up on the pin and hold stem
and disk assembly down. Clean pin and again check for freedom of movement.
SOLUTION 5: Be sure that all operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to operating zones
is not restricted in any manner. This would cause pressure to build up in the valve
and lock the stem and disk assembly in the down position.
SOLUTION 6: The backflow of water from uphill lines may be preventing the valve from cycling
properly. This can happen when the valve is placed too far below an elevated line.
If the valve cannot be placed close to the high point of the system, a check valve
should be installed near the valve in the outlet line that runs uphill from the valve
and a drain line installed just prior to the valve to relieve the pressure.
2. PROBLEM: Water comes out of all the valve outlets
CAUSE: Stem and disk assembly not seating properly on valve outlet.
SOLUTION 1: Check for sufficient water flow. A minimum flow rate is required to properly seat
the disk as shown in Table 1.
SOLUTION 2: Remove the valve top and check the inside walls to ensure that nothing is interfering
with the up and down movement of the stem and disk assembly inside the valve.
SOLUTION 3: Make sure that the operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to the operat-
ing zones are not restricted in any manner.
3. PROBLEM: Valve skips outlets or zones
CAUSE: Pumping into an empty transport line — especially downhill — may cause the valve
to skip outlets from pockets of air allowing the rubber flap disk to raise during a
cycle.
SOLUTION 1: Keep the transport line full.
SOLUTION 2: If the line must remain empty between cycles, use a larger diameter transport line
laid at a constant grade to prevent air pockets from forming.
CAUSE: The stem and disk assembly is being advanced past the desired outlet.
SOLUTION 1: Ensure that the correct cam for the desired number of zones is installed and that the
outlet lines are installed to the correct outlet ports of the valve as indicated by the
zone numbers on the top of the cam.

Distributing Valves
General
Orenco’s Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies are
mechanically operated and sequentially redirect the
pump’s flow to multiple zones or cells in a distribution
field. Valve actuation is accomplished by a combination
of pressure and flow. Automatic Distributing Valve
Assemblies allow the use of smaller horsepower pumps
on large sand filters and drainfields. For example, a large
community drainfield requiring 300 gpm can use a six-line
Valve Assembly to reduce the pump flow rate requirement
to only 50 gpm.
Orenco only warrants Automatic Distributing Valves when
used in conjunction with High-Head Effluent Pumps with
Biotube®Pump Vaults to provide pressure and flow
requirements, and to prevent debris from fouling valve
operation. An inlet ball valve and a section of clear pipe
and union for each outlet are provided for a complete
assembly that is easy to maintain and monitor. Ideal
valve location is at the high point in the system. Refer to
Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies (NTP-VA-1) for
more information.

3148 Upper Cattle Creek Rd- Concern with proposed tank size
1 message
Claire Lewandowski <claire.lewandowski@eaglecounty.us>Fri, Nov 1, 2019 at 8:45 AM
To: Carla Ostberg <carla.ostberg@gmail.com>
Cc: environment@eaglecounty.us, mimdork@aol.com, Matthew Smith <matthew@thunderbowlarchitects.com>
Hi Carla,
I finished the review of the design submitted for the proposed OWTS at 3148 Upper Cattle Creek Rd. The question I have
is about the tank size and the 48 hour retention time with a two-compartment tank.
Regulation 43.0 b. states"The second compartment of a two-compartment septic tank may only be used as the pump tank
when the tank is specifically designed for this purpose and it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the ECPHA that
the minimum 48-hour detention time will not be decreased.-- "
As I see this a 3 bedroom home has a max daily flow rate of 450 gpd, so 900 gallons must be retained for 48 hours. With
the pump in the second compartment, on a maximum use day would pump up to 450 gallons of effluent, so in a 1,250
gallon tank would only retain 800 gallons for 48 hours, 100 gallons less than required.
I hope that makes sense. According to this reasoning the tank needs to be larger, either way you must demonstrate that
the 48 minimum retention time will not be decrease.
Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.
Best Regards,
Claire
Please note that beginning July 15 the Community Development Department will have new walk-in hours. The

SE Job No. 24091.01 Eagle County Permit No. 2353-04
Dear Mr. Griffith:
Pursuant to Eagle County regulations, this letter and attached drawing provides documentation that the new OWS
system recently installed is in general compliance with the permitted design. Sopris Engineering has performed site
visits to inspect, measure and document the as built conditions of the constructed OWS system. The as -built size and
relative location of the new OWS system components is delineated on the attached drawing. Also attached is the
completed Eagle County document "ISDS Final Inspection Completeness Form". The OWS components have been
installed in accordance with Eagle County Regulations, the design presented in the Sopris Engineering Report and the
design drawing, dated June 8, 2004.
A double compartment, 1250-gallon concrete septic tank system has been installed with an effluent filter in the outlet
sanitary tee. Effluent discharges to a new 930 square foot soil absorption trench system configured for serial
distribution. Each trench was installed level and has an inspection port on the serial end of each trench and each
corner of the field. Adjacent trenches have a horizontal separation of 10-14 feet. The total as -built trench absorption
area is 930 SF, utilizing 60 standard leaching chambers installed in 4 serial trenches 94' long.
OWS Operation and Maintenance
The re establishment of vegetative cover over the field and responsibility for inspection and maintenance of the
system will remain with the Lot Owner or the owners representative. All components of the engineered OWS shall
be inspected on a regular basis and be properly maintained. The system and responsibility for repair and
maintenance of the system will remain with the Owner.
The OWS should require minimal maintenance. Several factors influencing the need for maintenance include: actual
wastewater flows versus design flows, the volume of kitchen/domestic waste (excluding human waste and toilet
paper), excessive household chemicals and other toxic liquids. The tank, absorption field and other system
components should be visually inspected bi-annually for debris, damage, leaks, or other potential problems. In
general, for a properly utilized system, septic tanks should be pumped and inspected every 2 - 4 years. The effluent
filters should be cleaned every six months and at the time of pumping. Absorption fields should be maintained with
suitable cover and kept free of root invasive plants. Positive surface drainage away from the absorption field should
be maintained.
We have forwarded a copy of this letter with attachments to Eagle County Environmental Health Division. Please
retain this copy for your records and As -built documentation use. If you have any questions or need any additional
informatiaaa-Dlease call.

RE: Caretaker Residence, Proposed On -site Wastewater System, 3148 Upper Cattle Creek Road
Griffith Ranch, Eagle County Colorado
SE Job No. 24091.01
Dear Mr. Griffith:
Pursuant to your request, this letter/report presents our findings in regard to the feasibility and design for an
engineered Onsite Wastewater System (OWS) at the above referenced Site. This design is based on our
evaluation of the site conditions with information provided by both of you for use in supporting your
application to Eagle County. Our recommendations are in accordance with Eagle County and the State of
Colorado ISDS Regulations. Eagle County must permit any proposed improvement to the site. We have
reviewed the information forwarded to us, formulated an OWS design and created a site plan with
construction details as part of our scope of work.
Conclusions
Based on our findings we believe that the design and installation of an approved OWS is feasible in
accordance with the Regulations of Eagle County and the State of Colorado. We recommend that a new
1250 gallon septic tank be installed that will discharge effluent to a 930 square foot soil absorption trench
system. The soil absorption system can be installed in natural soils and will be located within the general
area down gradient of the proposed house, as delineated on the attached plan. The system will meet all
required setbacks and be installed within the general boundaries indicated on the plan. Our design is
outlined below and delineated on the attached site plan.
Site Location
The subject site is located approximately 3 miles north of El Jebel at 3148 Upper Cattle Creek Road, on the
Griffith Ranch, Eagle County Colorado in Eagle County, Colorado. The site is situated in Section23, T 7
S, R 87 W of the 6tn P.M. The Site is part of a large ranch.
Existing Site Conditions
The site is located on irrigated agricultural lands. The site has a moderate slope (10-15%) toward the west.
The existing ground surface in the proposed absorption field area has an approximate slope of 10%. The
site is covered with pasture grass and weeds. Domestic water is supplied by a well. There are no wells
within 100 feet of the general vicinity of the proposed absorption field. An existing ranch manager's house
is located across the road from the proposed house and is going to be removed.

Proposed Site Conditions
It is our understanding that you intend to construct a 3-bedroom home with a detached garage. The
maximum number of rooms to be utilized as bedrooms in the future is 3. Therefore the system is designed
to handle the flow from a 3-bedroom house. The proposed improvements will include a new ISDS system
with appropriate site grading. The new structure is to be generally located as shown on the scanned site
plan provided by the owner.
Subsurface Conditions
A subsurface investigation and percolation test was conducted on April 30, 2003 by CTL/Thompson, Inc.
(CTL). The results are attached in the CTL report dated June 16, 2003, Job Number GS-3899.The subsoil
encountered at the site consists of 1/2 to 1 feet of topsoil overlying stiff silty to sandy clay with gravels to a
depth of 10 feet. Groundwater was not encountered in the test profile boring.
Percolation testing utilized three test borings, which yielded similar absorption rates. The fastest measured
rate was 120 minutes per inch and the slowest measured rate was 60 minutes per inch. The average
percolation rate is 80 minutes per inch and should be suitable for a conventional absorption system.
Additional geotechnical evaluations and inspections by the engineer and Eagle County should be
performed during initial stages of construction to verify assumptions made for the OWS design. An
additional profile hole needs to be excavated for visual inspection by the Eagle County Environmental
Health Specialist and the Engineer prior to excavation of the absorption field and prior to issuing the final
permit. The evaluations and inspections may result in modifications to the design that may include field
size revisions and possible soil replacement in select areas if needed. Sufficient notice to Eagle County and
the Engineer by the owner/contractor needs to be made in order to schedule the site visit.
Design Criteria
The absorption field is designed based on utilizing the suitable native soil for treatment in trenches.
Additional percolation test may be desirable to confirm the soil's acceptance rate.
Based on the reported percolation rate and observations of the percolation holes and test pit we have
designed a system that will treat the calculated quantity of effluent with native soils utilizing the Long
Term Acceptance Rate (LTAR) for the native soils per Eagle County requirements.
Based on the reported percolation rate and observations of the percolation borings and test pit we have
designed a system that will treat the calculated quantity of effluent with native soils utilizing the Long
Term Acceptance Rate (LTAR) for the native soils. The LTAR is based on the interpolation of absorption
rates corresponding to the average percolation rate. The wastewater application rates are from Table 7-2,
EPA Design Manual, Onsite Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems. The loading rate based on the
assumed percolation rate is approximately 0.37 gallons per day per square foot of soil absorption area. The
treated effluent will then be absorbed into the natural soils across the bottom area and a portion of the
sidewall areas of the trench excavations.

The absorption field is designed based on utilizing the suitable native soil for treatment in trenches.
However if some areas in the proposed trenches need soil replacement for added treatment efficiency and
to mitigate the presence of scattered cobbles and or boulders, we recommend the placement of suitable soil
underlying a minimum of 1/2 foot of filter sand material placed to a level grade with the rest of the trench.
Proposed residence is a 3-bedroom house. The design flow is calculated as follows:
Residence unit - 3 bedrooms @ 2 person /bedroom = 6 person
From the Eagle County I. S. D. S. Regulation;
Max. Design flow (Qd) = # of people x 1.5(avg. flow) gal/person/day.
Gallons per day for the subject house 75 gal/person/day
Qd = 6*75*1.5 =675 Qa� 1/day
Septic Tank Design
Residence
Q = 6*75*1.5 =675
Volume (V) of tank = Design Flow * 1.25
(30 hour retention time)
V = 675 gal/day * 1.25 = 844
Use one 1250-gallon septic tank to provide additional primary treatment and extend
periodic pumping schedules.
Soil Absorption System Design
The percolation test indicated percolation rate between 60 and 120 minutes per inch with an average rate of
80 minutes per inch. Therefore this range is used to estimate a loading rate for the soil and size the
absorption area required for treatment utilizing' native soils.
A = Absorption Area
Long Term Acceptance Rate method (LTAR):
LTAR loading rate for soil with perc rate between
60 and 120 min/inch = 0.37 gal/S.F./day
A=Q/LTAR = 675/0.37 1824 sq. ft.
We recommend using a gravelless leaching chamber absorption trench system. The county allows up to a
50% adjustment in absorption area if gravelless leaching chambers are used in suitable soils. The
equivalent Absorption area per chamber unit is 15.5 S.F.
Apply a 50% reduction for utilizing gravelless infiltration chambers in a trench configuration.
A = 1824 sq. ft. x 0.50 = 912 sq. ft. (Apply a 50% reduction)
Assume 15.5 square feet per chamber: 912 sq.ft. = 58.8 chambers Use 60 chambers
15.5 sq.ft/chamber

We recommend using a trench system composed of 4 trenches 94 feet long and 3 foot wide, containing 15
standard leaching chamber units in each trench connected for serial distribution. Excavate absorption
trenches to accommodate a minimum 1131 sf of interior surface area. Pursuant to previous discussions
with Eagle County Environmental Health, serial distribution is recommended.
Distribution
An effluent filter shall be installed on the outlet of the secondary chamber in the septic tank. The filter
should be inspected every six months. Maintenance shall include cleaning the filter as needed and after
periodic pumping of the tank.
We recommend that the trenches be connected with the inlet pipe coming into the inlet port of the first
serial trench chamber. The effluent flow will run the length of the first trench discharge through the outlet
pipe connected to the end chamber. The outlet pipe will run across the minimum 6' separation distance to
the second serial trench and connect to the inlet port of the first chamber. The flow will run the length of
the second trench and connect the same way to the first chamber in the succeeding trenches. Each trench
will be constructed level with successive trenches installed at a lower elevation than the preceding trench to
accommodate drainage in the distribution pipes and surface grades. Each trench shall be constructed not to
exceed a maximum depth of 4 feet. The method allows for the sloped terrain, provides increased longevity
of the system and allows for maintenance and/or partial reconstruction if needed. An inspection port
should be installed on the top mid -point cut out at the serial end chamber in each trench. This will allow
for checking the performance of the system over time.
ISDS Operation and Maintenance
The system shall be inspected on a regular basis and be properly maintained. The system and
responsibility for repair and maintenance of the system will remain with the Lot Owner. The onsite system should require minimal maintenance. Several factors influencing the need for
maintenance include: actual wastewater flows versus design flows, the volume of kitchen/domestic waste
(excluding human waste and toilet paper), excessive household chemicals and other toxic liquids. The
tank, absorption field and effluent filter should be visually inspected bi-annually for debris, wear, damage,
leaks, or other potential problems. In general, for a properly utilized system, septic tanks should be
pumped and inspected every 2 - 4 years. The effluent filters should be cleaned every six months and at the
time of pumping. Absorption fields should be maintained with suitable cover and kept free of root
invasive plants. Positive surface drainage away from the absorption field should be maintained.
Construction and Inspections
Prior to construction of the permitted system the engineer should be contacted by the contractor and owner
well in advance to provide adequate time to discuss the system components with the contractor, answer
questions, resolve any conflict issues and schedule inspection site visits based on construction progress.'
County Regulations require that the Design Engineers of record perform site inspections of the permitted
system during construction and provide "As -Built" documentation of the installed. system to the County
after construction is complete. The Regulations further require site inspections and approval by the County
Environmental Health Department of the exposed components of the system prior to backfilling.
James Griffith
SE Job No. 24091.01
June 8, 2004
Page 5
Therefore the County Environmental Health Department should also be contacted and notified of the
construction schedule.
General Notes
1) All materials and installation practices shall conform to the Eagle County Individual Sewage Disposal
Regulation.
2) All sewer lines and distribution lines in the system shall be 4" Schedule 40 or SDR-35 PVC unless
specified otherwise on the plans.
3) Add a two-way clean out on the service line from the proposed house.
4) The system shall be plumbed to distribution effluent into the trenches with serial distribution.
5) The contractor shall ensure that the concrete septic tank and sewer lines are watertight.
6) The trench area must be protected to prevent damage from vehicular or livestock traffic and must be
crowned to divert drainage runoff away from the trenches to minimize surface infiltration.
7) The infiltration chambers shall be installed level in each trench. A splash plate shall be installed on the
trench bottom surface below the inlet in each serial trench to prevent scouring from the effluent or an
appropriate chamber end plate may be used to prevent scouring from the effluent. The top of the
backfill over the chambers shall be covered with filter fabric or other suitable pervious material to
prevent the migration of fines from the overlying topsoil layer.
8) The trenches must have a minimum cover of 12 inches. A final cover of topsoil suitable for vegetation,
a minimum 4" deep, shall be placed from the top of the pervious cover layer to the finished surface
grade.
9) The absorption trenches must be sodded or covered with vegetative ground cover.
Our design and recommendations are based upon data supplied to us by others. If subsurface or site
conditions are found to be different from those presented in this report, we should be notified to evaluate
the effect it may have on the proposed ISDS. If the County Environmental Health Department requests
changes or modifications to this design, we should be contacted to evaluate the effect on the ISDS.
If you have any question or need any additional information, please call.

This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation for the
proposed caretakers residence to be built at 3148 Upper Cattle Creek Road in Eagle
County, Colorado. We conducted this investigation to evaluate subsurface
conditions at the site and provide foundation recommendations for the caretakers
residence. Our report was prepared from data developed during drilling of
exploratory borings atthe site, results of laboratory testing, engineering analysis and
our experience with similar conditions. This report includes a description of the
subsurface conditions observed in our exploratory borings, and presents
recommendations for design criteria for the recommended foundation and floor
systems, and geotechnical and construction criteria for details influenced by the
subsoils. Recommendations contained in this report were developed based on our
understanding of the planned construction. If plans differ significantly from the
descriptions contained in this report, we should be informed so that we can check
that our recommendations and design criteria are appropriate. A summary of our
conclusions is presented below.
SUMMARY OF CONCL
1. S u ace conditions encountered in our exploratory borings
co ed of a surficial layer of organic sandy clay "topsoil" above
sandy clays with scattered gravels to the maximum explored depth of
20 feet below the existing ground surface. In our TH-2 the clays were
underlain by silty to clean sands at 10 feet below the existing ground
surface. Free ground water was not observed in our exploratory
borings at the time of drilling.
2. We recommend constructing the residence on footing foundations
supported entirely by the undisturbed, native clay soils. Design and
construction criteria for footings are presented in the report.
3. We judge potential differential movement will be low for slabs -on -
grade supported by the native clay soils after scarifying, moisture
conditioning and compacting or on densely compacted structural fill.
Design and construction criteria for slabs -on -grade are presented in
the report.
MR. JAMES GRIFFITH
CARETAKERS RESIDENCE 1
CTUT JOB NO. GS-3899
4. Surface drainage should be designed to provide for rapid removal of
surface water away from the residence.
SITE CONDITIONS
The site is located on the Griffith Property at 3148 Upper Cattle Creek Road
which is approximately 3 miles north of El Jebel intersection on Highway 82 in Eagle
County, Colorado. Access to the site is from Upper Cattle Creek Road to an access
drive approximately 400 feet to the north of the proposed caretakers residence
location. The proposed caretakers residence is situated in an existing irrigated
pasture area. Ground surfaces slope down to the northwest at grades measured and
visually estimated at approximately 10 to 15 percent. Vegetation consists of irrigated
pasture grasses and weeds.
PROPOSED CONF�ION
We P-5nd the proposed single-family residence will be a one story,
manufacturede (modular) placed on a permanent foundation. An attached
garage may also be constructed. Floors in living areas will be structurally supported
by the foundation system with crawl space below. Floors in the garage will be slabs -
on -grade. Foundation loads are expected to vary between 1,000 and 2,000 pounds
per lineal foot of foundation wall with maximum interior column loads of 15 kips. We
were told that maximum excavation depths will be on the order of 6 to 8 feet at the
uphill (east) part of the building and approximately 3 to 4 feet at the downhill (west)
part of the building. Completed wall backfill depth may be slightly more than
excavation depth as final grades are adjusted for drainage. If construction will differ
significantly from the descriptions above, we should be informed so that we can
adjust our recommendations and design criteria, if necessary.

We directed the drilling of two exploratory borings (TH-1 and TH-2), one profile
boring (Profile) and three percolation borings (P-1, P-2 and P-3) to investigate
subsurface conditions at the site. The approximate locations of our borings are
shown on Figure 1. Drilling operations were directed by our engineering geologist
who logged subsurface conditions encountered in the borings and obtained samples
of the excavated soils. Graphic logs of the soils encountered in our exploratory
borings are shown on Figure 2.
Subsurface conditions encountered in our exploratory borings consisted of
a 0.5 feet thick surficial layer of organic sandy clay "topsoil" with vegetative debris
above stiff to very stiff, moist, sandy clays with gravels to the maximum explored
depth of 19.5 feet below the existing ground surface. In our TH-2 the clays were
underlain by dense to very dense, moist, silty to clean sands at 10 feet below the
existing ground surface. No free ground water was found in our exploratory borings
during our drill g operations
SITE E?ORK
We judge the clay soils to have a low swell potential.
ading plans were not provided to us. Fill may be required to obtain
subgrade elevations for the garage floor and driveway. Areas which will receive fill
should be stripped of vegetation, organic soils and debris. The on -site soils free of
organic matter, debris and rocks larger than 6 inches in diameter can be used as fill.
Fill should be placed in loose lifts of 8 inches thick or less and moisture
conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content. Fill placed outside the
building footprint should be compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor
(ASTM D 698) maximum dry density. Structural fill below garage floor slabs should
be compacted to at least 98 percent of ASTM D 698 maximum dry density. Moisture

content and density of fill and structural fill should be checked by a representative
of our firm during placement.
We anticipate excavations for the building foundation and utilities can be
accomplished using conventional, heavy-duty excavation equipment. Excavation
sides will need to be sloped or braced to meet local, state and federal safety
regulations. We believe the native clays will classify as Type B soils based on OSHA
standards governing excavations. Temporary slopes deeper than 5 feet should be
no steeper than 1 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) in Type B soils. Contractors should
identify the soils encountered in the excavations and refer to OSHA standards to
determine appropriate slopes.
Soils removed from the excavation should not be stockpiled at the edge of the
excavation. Excavated soils should be placed at a distance from the top of the
excavation equal to at least the depth of the excavation.
Free ground water was not observed in our exploratory borings at the time of
drilling. We do not anticipate excavations for foundations or utilities will penetrate
ground water, however, excavations should be sloped to a gravity discharge or to
a temporary sump where water can be removed by pumping. The ground
surrounding the excavations should be sloped to direct runoff away from the
excavations.
FOUND
r exploratory borings indicate the native clay soils will be at anticipated
footing depths. The clay soils are expansive. The foundation should be designed to
resist uplift from expansive clays. We recommend constructing the residence on
footing foundations with a minimum deadload. Footings should be supported by the
undisturbed, native clays. The completed foundation excavation should be
inspected by a representative of our firm, prior to placing forms, to confirm that the
MR. JAMES GRIFFITH
CARETAKERS RESIDENCE
CTL/T JOB NO. GS•3899 4
native clays are exposed and suitable for support of the designed footings. We
anticipate maximum total movement of footing foundations with a minimum
deadload supported on the native clays will be less than 1 inch with differential
settlement of about '/2 the actual total settlement. Recommended design and
construction criteria for footings are presented below.
1. Footing foundations should be supported by the undisturbed, native
clay soils. Soils loosened during excavation or the forming process
for the footings should be removed or the soils can be re -compacted
prior to placing concrete.
2. Footings supported by the native clays can be designed for a
maximum allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 psf with a minimum
deadload of 750 psf or as high as practical.
3. Continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of at least 14
inches. Foundations for isolated columns should have minimum
dimensions of 18 inches by 18 inches. Larger sizes may be required,
depending upon foundation loads.
4. Grade beams and foundation walls should be well reinforced, top and
bottom, to span undisclosed loose or soft soil pockets. We
recommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsupported distance
of at least 10 feet. Reinforcement should be designed by a qualified
structural engineer.
5. The soils beneath exterior footings should be protected from freezing.
We recommend the bottom of footings be constructed at a depth of at
least 36 inches below finished exterior grades for frost protection. The
Eagle County building department should be consulted to verify the
required frost protection depth.
FLOOR SYSTEM AND GA LOOR SLAB
Floors in living ar s will be structurally supported by the foundation with
crawl space below. The garage floor will be slabs -on -grade. Based on our laboratory
test data and our experience, we judge garage slab -on -grade construction can be
supported by the native clay soils after scarifying, moisture conditioning and
compacting or by densely compacted, structural fill built with the on -site soils with
low risk of differential movementand associated damage. We recommend the garage
MR. JAMES GRIFFITH
CARETAKERS RESIDENCE
CTUT JOB NO. GS•3899 5

floor be supported entirely by either the native clay soils or on densely compacted
structural fill. Structural fill placed to attain subgrade elevations for the garage floor
slab and exterior concrete flatwork should be in accordance with the
recommendations outlined in the SITE EARTHWORK section.
We recommend against providing a gravel layer below floor slabs since the
gravel layer will allow wetting of the entire area below the slab from a single water
source. We recommend the following precautions for slab -on -grade construction at
this site. Slabs should be separated from exterior walls and interior bearing
members with slip joints which allow free vertical movement of the slabs. Exterior
patio and porch slabs should be isolated from the residence. Frequent control joints
should be provided, in accordance with American Concrete Institute (ACI)
recommendations, to reduce problems associated with shrinkage and curling. Our
experience indicates panels which are approximately square generally perform better
than rectangular panels.
FOUNDATIO NS
le -. �
Fo I ion walls should be designed for lateral earth pressures where
backfill is not to about the same elevation on both sides of the wall. Many factors
affect the values of the design lateral earth pressure. These factors include, but are
not limited to, the type, compaction, slope and drainage of the backfill, and the
rigidity of the wall against rotation and deflection. For a very rigid wall where
negligible or very little deflection will occur, an "at -rest" lateral earth pressure
should be used in design. For walls which can deflect or rotate 0.5 to 1 percent of
wall height (depending upon the backfill types), lower "active" lateral earth pressures
are appropriate. Our experience indicates foundation walls can deflect or rotate
slightly under normal design loads, and that this deflection results in satisfactory
wall performance. Thus, the earth pressures on the walls will likely be between the
"active" and "at -rest" conditions.
MR. JAMES GRIFFITH
CARETAKERS RESIDENCE 6
CTUT JOB NO. GS-3899
If the on -site soils are used as backfill, we recommend design of below -grade
walls using an equivalent fluid density of at least 50 pcf for this site. This equivalent
density does not include allowances for sloping backfill, surcharges or hydrostatic
pressures. The recommended equivalent density assumes deflection; some minor
cracking of walls may occur. If very little wall deflection is desired, a higher
equivalent fluid density may be appropriate for design. Our recent experience
indicates most below -grade walls designed with 50 pcf to 55 pcf equivalent fluid
density have performed satisfactorily.
The structural engineer should also consider site specific grade restrictions
and the effects of large openings on the behavior of the walls. Backfill placed
adjacent to foundation wall exteriors should be free of organic matter, debris and
rocks larger than 6 inches in diameter. Backfill should be moisture conditioned to
within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent
of standard Proctor (ASTM D 698) maximum dry density.
Water from rain, snow melt and surface irrigation of lawns and landscaping
frequently flows through relatively permeable backfill placed adjacentto a residence
and collects on the surface of relatively impermeable soils occurring at the bottom
of the excavation. This can cause wet or moist conditions in crawl space areas after
construction. To reduce the likelihood water pressure will develop outside
foundation walls and reduce risk of accumulation of water in the crawl space, we
recommend provision of a foundation drain. The drain should consist of a 4-inch
diameter, open joint or slotted pipe encased in free draining gravel. The drain should
lead to a positive gravity outfall, or to a sump pit where water can be removed by
pumping. A typigfoundation drain detail is presented on Figure 8.
PERCOLA ° �ESTING
We performed percolation testing in the planned percolation field area. One
profile boring and three percolation boringswere drilled at the approximate locations
MR. JAMES GRIFFITH
CARETAKERS RESIDENCE 7
CTUT JOB NO. GS-3899
shown on Figure 1. Graphic logs of the soils encountered in the borings are shown
on Figure 2. Our engineering technician performed percolation testing in the borings
on April 30, 2003. Percolation test results are presented on Figures 5 through 7.
Percolation rates were very slow at the percolation field area. According to state and
local regulations percolation rates outside the range of 5 min/per inch to 60 min/per
inch require that the septic system be designed by a qualified engineer.
SURFAC AMAGE
e;z"
rface drainage is critical to the performance of foundations, floor slabs and
concrete flatwork. We recommend the following precautions be observed during
construction and maintained at all times after the residence is completed:
1. The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the residence should
be sloped to drain away from the residence in all directions. We
recommend providing a slope of at least 12 inches in the first 10 feet
around the residence, where possible. In no case should the slope be
less than 6 inches in the first 5 feet.
2. Backfill around the exterior of foundation walls should be placed in
maximum 10 inch thick loose lifts, moisture conditioned to within 2
percent of optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95
percent of standard Proctor (ASTM D 698) maximum dry density.
3. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits
of all backfill. Splash blocks and downspout extensions should be
provided at all discharge points.
4. Landscaping should be carefully designed to minimize irrigation.
Plants used near foundation walls should be limited to those with low
moisture requirements; irrigated grass should not be located within 5
feet of the foundation. Sprinklers should not discharge within 5 feet
of the foundation and should be directed away from the building.
5. Impervious plastic membranes should not be used to coverthe ground
surface immediately surrounding the residence. These membranes
tend to trap moisture and prevent normal evaporation from occurring.
Geotextile fabrics can be used to control weed growth and allow some
evaporation to occur.

The exploratory borings drilled at the site provide a reasonably accurate
picture of subsurface conditions. Variations in the subsurface conditions not
indicated by our borings will occur. We should observe the completed foundation
excavation to confirm the native clays are exposed and suitable for support of the
footings as designed.
Our report was based on conditions disclosed by our exploratory borings,
engineering analysis and our experience. Criteria presented reflect our
understanding of the. proposed construction. If construction will differ significantly
from the descriptions in this report we should be informed so that we can check that
our recommendations and design criteria are appropriate.
This investigation was conducted in a manner consistent with that level of
care and skill ordinarily exercised by engineering geologists and geotechnical
engineers currently practicing under similar conditions in the locality of this project.
No other warranty, express or implied, is made. If we can be of further service in
discussing the contents of this report or in the analysis of the influence of the
subsoil conditions on the design of the structure, please call.

RE: AS -BUILT On -site Wastewater System, Caretaker Residence, 3148 Upper Cattle Creek Road
Griffith Ranch, Eagle County Colorado
SE Job No..24091.01 Eagle County Permit No. 2353-04
Dear Mr. Griffith:
Pursuant to Eagle County regulations, this letter and attached drawing provides documentation that the new OWS
system recently installed is in general compliance with the permitted design. Sopris Engineering has performed site
visits to inspect, measure and document the as built conditions of the constructed OWS system. The as -built size and
relative location of the new OWS system components is delineated on the attached drawing. Also attached is the
completed Eagle County document "ISDS Final Inspection Completeness Form". The OWS components have been
installed in accordance with Eagle County Regulations, the design presented in the Sopris Engineering Report and the
design drawing, dated June 8, 2004.
A double compartment, 1250-gallon concrete septic tank system has been installed with an effluent filter in the outlet
sanitary tee. Effluent discharges to a new 930 square foot soil absorption trench system configured for serial
distribution. Each trench was installed level and has an inspection port on the serial end of each trench and each
corner of the field. Adjacent trenches have a horizontal separation of 10-14 feet. The total as -built trench absorption
area is 930 SF, utilizing 60 standard leaching chambers installed in 4 serial trenches 94' long.
OWS Operation and Maintenance
The re establishment of vegetative cover over the field and responsibility for inspection and maintenance of the
system will remain with the Lot Owner or the owners representative. All components of the engineered OWS shall
be inspected on a regular basis and be properly maintained. The system and responsibility for repair and
maintenance of the system will remain with the Owner.
The OWS should require minimal maintenance. Several factors influencing the need for maintenance include: actual
wastewater flows versus design flows, the volume of kitchen/domestic waste (excluding human waste and toilet
paper), excessive household chemicals and other toxic liquids. The tank, absorption field and other system
components should be visually inspected bi-annually for debris, damage, leaks, or other potential problems. In
general, for a properly utilized system, septic tanks should be pumped and inspected every 2 - 4 years. The effluent
filters should be cleaned every six months and at the time of pumping. Absorption fields should be maintained with
suitable cover and kept free of root invasive plants. Positive surface drainage away from the absorption field should
be maintained.
We have forwarded a copy of this letter with attachments to Eagle County Environmental Health Division. Please
retain this copy for your records and As -built documentation use. If you have any questions or need any additional
information, please call.

CONCLUSIONS
The proposed residence should be founded with spread footings
bearing on the natural granular so ls'�and designed for an allowable
soil bearing pressure of 2000 psf. Other design and construction
criteria relating to geotechnical aspects of the proposed residence
are presented in the body of the report.
..•. •• • s
This report presents the results of a subsoil study for a proposed
residence to be located at 3148 Upper Cattle Creek Road, Garfield County,
Colorado. The project site is shown on Fig. 1. The study was conducted in
accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering services to Jim and
Mary Griffith, dated April 3, 1990.
A field exploration program consisting of exploratory borings was
conducted to obtain information on subsurface conditions. Samples obtained
during the field exploration were tested in the laboratory to determine their
engineering characteristics. The results of the field exploration and
laboratory testing were analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation
types, depths and allowable pressures for the proposed building foundation. The
results of the field exploration and laboratory testing are presented in the
report.
This report has been prepared to summarize the data obtained during this
study and to present our conclusions and recommendations based on the proposed
construction and the subsoil conditions encountered. Design parameters and a
discussion of geotechnical engineering considerations related to construction
of the proposed residence are included in the report.
W
PROPOSED OONSINXTION
The proposed 5000 square foot residence will be one story of wood I.ame
construction with an attached garage. Ground floor will either be slab -on -grade
or structural over a crawl space. Grading for the structure is expected to be
relatively minor with cut depths between about 6 to 8 feet. We. -assume
relatively light foundation loadings, typical of the proposed type. construction.
If building loadings, location or grading plans change significantly from
those described above, we should be notified to reevaluate the reccMrendations
contained in this report.
SITE OONDITIONS
The proposed building area is located on a west facing hillside. The
topography of the area is generally flat with slopes of 7% to 10% down to the
west. An existing gravel road is located to the north of the building area.
The road leads to an existing two-story wood frame house located about 300 feet
east of the proposed building area. There is an, existing pond reportedly about
8 feet deep located south of the existing house. A drainage swale runs from the
pond area down to the south of the proposed building area. The building area
is vegetated with grass. There are willows and brush along the drainage swale
to the south.
oil 0*'X�CO)IVZB V •
The field exploration for the project was conducted on April 4, 1990.
Two exploratory borings were drilled at the locations Shawn on Fig. 1 to
evaluate the subsurface conditions. The borings were advanced with 4-inch
diameter continuous flight augers powered by a truck mounted CME-55 drill rig.
The borings were logged by a representative of Chen -Northern, Inc.
-3-
Samples-of the subsoils were taken with 1 3/8-inch and 2-inch I.D. spoon
samplers. The samplers were driven into the subsoils at various depths with
blows from a 140 pound hammer falling 30 inches. This test is similar to the
standard penetration test described by ASIM Method D-1586. The penetration
resistance values are an indication of the relative density or consistency of
the subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken and the. penetration
resistance values are shown on the Logs of Exploratory Borings, Fig. 2. The
samples were returned to our laboratory for review by the project engineer and
testing.
i
The subsoil conditions encountered at the site are shown graphically on
Fig. 2. The subsoils consist of 4 1/2 to 5 feet of topsoil overlying 5 1/2 to
7 1/2 feet of relatively dense, clayey sandy gravels containing cobbles and
boulders.
Very stiff to hard sandy silty clay
with occasional
gravel and
cobbles was
encountered below depths of 10 1/2 to
12 feet down to
the maxir=
depth explored, 21 feet.
laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included
natural moisture content, density, gradation analyses and Atterberg limits
testing. Swell -consolidation tests results,.,shown on Fig. 4, indicate that the
upper organic topsoil is highly compressible. The lower sandy clays have low
to moderate compressibility. Results of a gradation analysis performed on small
diameter drive samples (minus 1 1/2-inch fraction) of the natural granular soils
are shown on Fig. 5. Atterberg limits testing indicates the clay fraction of
the subsoils is of medium plasticity. The laboratory testing is summarized in
Table I.
-4-
No free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling or <
when checked two days later. The subsoils were generally moist.
FORMTION REOOMMENDATIONS
Considering the subsoil conditions encountered in the exPloratory borings
and the nature of the proposed construction, we recomwnd the residence be
founded with spread footings bearing on the natural granular soils below all
topsoil. The building foundation excavation may extetxd into the underlying
clays. We expect bearing on the clays will be acceptable.
The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed
for a spread footing foundation system. The construction criteria should be
considered when preparing project documents.
1) Footings placed on the undisturbed natural granular soils should be
designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of 2000 psf. Based on
experience, we expect settlement of footings designed and constructed as
discussed in this section will be about l inch or less.
2) All existing fill, topsoil and any loose or disturbed soils should be
removed and the footing bearing level extended down to relatively dense
natural granular soils.
3) The footings should have a minimum width of 16 inches for continuous walls
and 2 feet for isolated pads.
4) Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided
with adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost
protection. placement of foundations at least 36 inches below exterior
grade is typically used in this area.
5) Continuous foundation walls should be reinforced top and bottom to span
an unsupported length of at least 10 feet. Foundation walls acting as
-5
retaining structures should also be designed to resist a lateral earth
pressure corresponding to an equivalent fluid unit weight of 50 pcf.
G) A representative of the soil engineer should observe all footing
excavations prior to concrete placement to evaluate bearing conditions.
The natural on -site soils, exclusive of.topsoil, are suitable to support
lightly to moderately loaded slab -on -grade construction. TO reduce the effects
of some differential movement, floor slabs should be separated from all bearing
walls and columns with expansion joints which allow unrestrained vertical
movement. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to
shrinkage cracking. The requirements for joint spacing and'slab reinforcement
should be established by the designer based on experience and the interned slab
use. A minimum 4-inch layer of free -draining gravel should be placed beneath
basement level slabs to facilitate drainage. This material should consist of
Minus 2-inch aggregate with less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and less than
2% passing the No. 200 sieve.
All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at
least 95% of maximum standard proctor density at a moisture content near
Optimum- Required fill can consist of the on -site gravels devoid of vegetation,
topsoil and oversized rock.
DI V Di
Although free water was not encountered during our exploration, it has
been our experience in mountainous areas that local perdu d groundwater may
develop during times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground
during spring runoff can create a perched condition. We recommend below grade
construction, such as retaining walls, crawl space and basement areas be
Protected from wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup by an undezdrain system.
The drains should consist of drain tile placed in the bottom of the wall
backfill surrounded above the invert level with free -draining granular material.
The drain should be placed at least 1 foot. below lowest adjacent finish grade
and sloped at a minimum 1% to a suitable gravity outlet. Free -draining granular
material used in the underdrain system should contain less than 2% passing the
No. 200 sieve, less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and have a maximum size of
2 inches. The drain gravel backfill should be at least 2 feet deep.
The following drainage precautions should be observed during construction
and maintained at all times after the residence has been ccupleted:
1)' Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be
avoided during construction.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and
compacted
to
at least 95% of the maximcnn
standard proctor density in
pavement
and
slab areas and to at
least 90% of the maximum standard
Proctor density in landscape areas.
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be
sloped to drain away from the foundation in all directions. We recommend
a minimum slope of 12 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved areas and a
minimum slope of 3 inches in the first 10 feet in paved areas. Free -
draining wall backfill should be capped with about 2 feet of the on -site
soils to reduce surface water infiltration.
4) Roof dawmPouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backfill.

•LINIITATIONS
This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted soil
and foundation engineering practices in this area for use by the client for
design purposes. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report
are based upon the data cbtained from the exploratory borings drilled at the
locations indicated on Fig. 1 and the proposed type of construction. The nature
and extent of subsurface variations across the site may not become evident until
excavation is performed. If during construction, fill, soil, rock or water
conditions appear to be different from those described herein, this office
should be advised at once so reevaluation of the recommendations may be made.
We recommend on -site observation of excavations and foundation bearing strata
and testing of structural fill by a representative of the soil engineer.
Sincerely,
CF I NORMMN, INC.

NOTES:
1. Exploratory borings were drilled on April 4, 1990 with a 4-inch diameter
continuous flight power auger.
2. Locations of exploratory borings were measured approximately by pacing from
features shown on the site plan provided.
3. Elevations of exploratory borings were obtained by interpolation between c
on the site plan provided.
4. The exploratory boring locations and elevations should be considered accurate
only to the degree implied by the method used.
5. The lines between materials shown on the exploratory boring logs represent the
approximate boundaries between material ;,,apes and transitions may:;be gradual.
6. No free 4f:.;er was encountered in the bor:=gs at the time of drilling or when
checked k,wo days later. Fluctuations in water level may occur with time.
