Our observations and recommendations are presented in this report. The services are supplemental to H-P/Kumar’s (now Kumar & Associates) agreement for professional services to Peter and Katie Dolan dated February 10, 2017. We previously designed the OWTS for the residence as submitted in our report dated September 7, 2018, Project No. 17-7-166.02. The system was designed for four bedrooms. The OWTS was installed under Eagle County Permit Number OWTS-4-18-18973 by Spiegel Construction. We performed our evaluations on September 28, October 1, 4 and 8, 2018. The OWTS components observed included: sewer line, cleanout, septic tank, effluent line, automatic distribution valve (ADV), control panel and soil treatment area (STA) and the locations of these components. The installation and locations of the system components were verified as shown on Figure 1. Pictures of the OWTS components made during the site visit are included with this report. The distance locations to the septic tank shown on Figure 1 were made by taping. On October 4, 2019, after power had been supplied to the pump, a pump performance test was performed with adequate pump pressure observed. It is our opinion that the OWTS was installed in general conformance with the above referenced design.

The purpose of this report is to provide design details for the OWTS in accordance with 2018 Eagle County Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Regulation and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Colorado Environmental Regulation #43. The services are supplemental to our agreement for professional services to Peter and Katie Dolan dated February 10, 2017. BACKGROUND INFORMATION H-P/Kumar previously performed a subsoil study for foundation design of the residence at the site and presented our findings in a report dated March 16, 2017, Project No. 17-7-166. A preliminary OWTS design was done by us based on limited information from that study, report dated April 4, 2018, Project No. 17-7-166.02. The current OWTS design was performed based on site specific profile pit evaluations at the proposed soil treatment area. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The proposed construction consists of a four-bedroom residence located on the lot as shown on Figure 1. The residence will be a two-story wood-frame structure with a walkout basement level. Ground floors will be slab-on-grade. The OWTS soil treatment area (STA) will be located downhill and northeast of the proposed residence. Water service will be provided to the building via a utility easement extending from Gore Trail to the west. The basement level of the residence will have a foundation drain. If proposed construction is different than that described, we should be contacted to re-evaluate our design recommendations. Project No.17-7-166.02 - 2 - SITE CONDITIONS The lot was vacant with the foundation being excavated at the time of the field exploration. The terrain slopes strongly to moderately down to the northeast at grades from about 5 to 20 percent in most of the proposed building area and planned STA. The slope becomes steeper, on the order of 30 to 50 percent in the eastern and northeastern parts of the lot. The steep slope continues down a considerable distance beyond the east side of the building envelope. Elevation difference across the proposed STA is about 5 feet, see Figure 1. Vegetation consists of grass and weeds with scattered aspen and evergreen trees which become dense to the north and east of the building envelope. We are not aware of any water wells on or near the lot. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The field exploration was conducted on May 22, 2018. Two profile pits (Profile Pits 1 and 2) were excavated at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the subsurface conditions. Logs of the profile pits are provided below. Log of Profile Pit 1 Depth USDA Classification 0-1½’ TOPSOIL; Sandy Loam, scattered gravel, very moist, dark brown. 1½’-8½’ VERY GRAVELLY LOAMY SAND; with gravel, cobbles and small boulders, single grain structure, moist, brown. • Disturbed bulk sample taken at 2½ to 3½ feet. • Bottom of pit @ 8½ feet. • No free water or redoximorphic features observed during excavation. Project No.17-7-166.02 - 3 - Log of Profile Pit 2 Depth USDA Classification 0-1’ TOPSOIL; Sandy Loam, scattered gravel, very moist, dark brown. 1’-8’ VERY GRAVELLY LOAMY SAND; with gravel, cobbles and small boulders, single grain structure, moist, reddish brown. • Disturbed bulk sample taken at 3 to 4 feet. • Bottom of pit @ 8 feet. • No free water or redoximorphic features observed during excavation. The soils encountered consist of about 1 to 1½ feet of topsoil overlying Very Gravelly Loamy Sand down to the depths explored of 8½ and 8 feet. Gradation analyses were performed on disturbed bulk samples of the soils from Profile Pits 1 and 2, with the results provided on Figures 2 and 3. The tested samples classify as Very Gravelly Loamy Sand per the USDA system. The soils in contained greater than 35 percent material larger than 2.0 mm and classify as Type R-0 per the State regulations due to the high rock content. OWTS ANALYSIS Based on the profile pit evaluations, the natural soils contain greater than 35 percent rock-sized material and a sand filter on the natural soil will be needed for adequate treatment of the wastewater effluent. The system will consist of three rows of Infiltrators in a trench configuration over a minimum of 3 feet of sand. The STA will be sized for 4 bedrooms using an LTAR of 0.8 gallons per square foot per day for the sand filter and natural coarse granular soils. The sewage will gravity flow to the septic tank for primary treatment then to the dose chamber where the effluent will be pressure dosed with a submersible effluent pump to the STA for dispersal and final treatment. Equal distribution will be provided to the individual trenches by an automatic distribution valve (ADV). Pumping to the STA is required by State and County Regulations for the sand filter system treatment system. Project No.17-7-166.02 - 4 - A 100 feet minimum setback is required from the proposed STA to any on-site and off-site wells. A 50 feet minimum setback is required from any wells to sewer and effluent lines and the proposed septic and dose tanks. A 5 feet minimum setback is required from the septic and dose tanks to the proposed residence. A 20 feet minimum setback is required from the STA to the residence. A 25 feet minimum setback is required to potable water supply lines from the STA. Based on our site observations there are no nearby active irrigation ditches. DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS The design recommendations presented below are based on the proposed construction, the site and subsurface conditions encountered and our experience in the area. Proposed locations of the system components are provided on Figure 1. If conditions encountered during construction are different than those that are described in this report, contact us to re-evaluate our design recommendations. SOIL TREATMENT AREA • The treatment system will consist of three trenches with 12 Infiltrator Quick 4 Plus Standard chambers in each trench (36 chambers total) placed on a minimum of 3 feet of sand. Concrete sand is suitable as the sand filter material. • Distribution lines, consisting of 1.5-inch diameter, Schedule 40 piping, with 3/16-inch orifice holes drilled at 4-foot centers near the center of the infiltrators, should be installed along the complete length of the infiltrators in each trench (Figure 5). The distribution lines should be suspended approximately 2 inches from the top surface of the infiltrators by pipe ties. The orifice holes should face up toward the infiltrator surface above. • A ⅛-inch hole should be drilled on the bottom of each end of each distribution pipe to allow for complete drainage of the distribution line following pressure dosing. Install splash plates below drain holes. • A pressure distribution system will be used to provide equal distribution to the Infiltrators and trenches. Project No.17-7-166.02 - 5 - • The STA was sized based on an LTAR of 0.8 gallons per square feet per day for the Loamy Sand soil below the 3 feet thick sand layer. An LTAR of 0.8 was also used for the concrete sand filter material. • Each chamber was allowed 12 square feet of area. A 20% reduction in the STA size was applied for pressure dosing to a trench and a 30% reduction was applied for use of Infiltrator chambers. The total STA is 432 square feet. Soil treatment area calculations are shown on Figure 4. • The trenches should be oriented along the ground contours to minimize soil cut and cover. • The sand filter material shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 10 inches. Each lift shall be track or bucket compacted until settlement ceases. • The base and sidewalls of the trench excavations should be scarified prior to the sand and chamber placement. • A minimum of 12 inches and a maximum of 24 inches of cover soil should be placed over the chambers. • Backfill and surface grading should be graded to deflect surface water away from the STA and should be sloped at 3 Horizontal to 1 Vertical maximum. This will be especially important along the up-slope side of the field where a swale may be needed. • Disturbed soil should be re-vegetated as soon as possible 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 the system piping. • Four-inch diameter inspection ports should be installed vertically into the knockouts provided in the Infiltrator end caps. Install vents at each end of each trench. The inspection port piping should be screwed into the top to the chambers and should not extend down to the ground surface inside the chambers. The inspection ports should extend at least 8 inches above the finished ground surface or be protected in a valve box at finished grade. • A plan view of the STA is presented on Figure 5 and a cross section of the STA is presented on Figure 6. • Cleanouts are required in each of the distribution lines. See Figure 7 for the cleanout detail. Project No.17-7-166.02 - 6 - OWTS COMPONENTS Recommended OWTS components provided below are based on our design details and our experience with the specific component manufacturers. Equivalent components may be feasible but need to be approved by us prior to construction. Septic Tank • A 1,500-gallon, three chamber Valley Precast septic tank is proposed for primary treatment, with the final chamber serving as a dose tank equipped with a submersible effluent pump enclosed in an Orenco Biotube pump vault. A copy of the tank detail is provided as an attachment to this report. • The tank must maintain a 10 feet setback to the on-site water supply line. • The tank must be a minimum of 5 feet from the proposed residence. • The tank must be a minimum of 5 feet from the proposed STA. • The tank must be set level. The excavation bottom must be free of large rocks or other objects that could damage the tank during placement. A road base or gravel bedding material may be necessary to prevent tank damage during placement and act as a leveling course. • Install tank with 2 feet minimum cover soil for frost protection. Maximum tank soil cover depth is 4 feet. • The septic lids must extend to final surface grade and made to be easily located. Sewer Pipe • The sewer line from the structure 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 pipes should have a rating of SDR35 or stronger. Schedule 40 PVC is required beneath all driveway surfaces. • The sewer pipe should be sloped between 2% to 4% to help limit disturbance of solids in the tank and potential sewage bypass of the first chamber of the tank. If a steeper slope is needed, this can be accomplished with vertical step-downs in the sewer line. Project No.17-7-166.02 - 7 - • A minimum 36 inches of cover soil should be provided over the sewer pipes. 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 road base 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 the 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 building. It is the responsibility of the owner/contractor to locate all sewer line exit locations and connections to the septic tank. We should be notified if there are other sewer lines exiting the structure. Effluent Transport Piping • 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 effluent transport piping should be sloped at 2% minimum to drain back to the dose chamber of the septic tank from the ADV after each pump cycle. Distribution piping should be sloped a minimum of 2% to drain from the ADV to the trenches after each pump cycle. • The effluent transport pipe should be bedded in compacted ¾ inch road base 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. • A minimum of 36 inches 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 effluent pipe and Project No.17-7-166.02 - 8 - insulation with at least 2 inches of rigid foam insulation in these areas. If adequate cover soil is not possible 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. • All 90-degree bends should be installed using a 90 degree long-sweep or by using two 45-degree elbows. Effluent Pumping System • An Orenco PF3005, 115-volt, submersible effluent pump with a 1.25-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 3 feet. The maximum distance from the ADV to the STA trenches is estimated to be an additional 37 feet. • The elevation difference from pump discharge up to the ADV is estimated to be 3 feet. • The pump should be enclosed in an Orenco Biotube Pump Vault for effluent filtering and protection of the pump from vibration. • An equivalent pump must be capable of operating at 12.7 gallons per minute at 11.7 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 38 gallons. The actual dose volume will be about 37 gallons assuming 1 gallon of drain-back in the transport line. To achieve the desired dose volume, the upper (“ON”) and lower (“OFF”) floats should be set approximately 3¾ inches apart. • The flow differential between the first and last orifices is estimated to be 1.7%. • The high-water alarm float should be placed approximately 3 inches above the “ON” float in the dose tank. The high-water alarm must be wired on a separate electrical circuit from the pump. • A ⅛ inch diameter weep hole should be drilled in the effluent transport line prior to exiting the dose tank so the transport line can drain after each pumping cycle. Project No.17-7-166.02 - 9 - Automatic Distributing Valve • An Orenco Systems V6403 Automatic Distributing Valve (ADV) will be used to alternate doses to each trench. A copy of the ADV detail is provided as an attachment to this report. • The ADV must be installed level, with the correct side facing up, and must be the high point in the system. • The ADV should be installed in a valve box approximately 2 to 3 feet deep, such that it is serviceable and protected from freezing. We recommend the ADV be equipped with heat tape for additional freeze protection during winter months. We recommend the lid be insulated with blue board and the void space inside of the box be filled with fiberglass insulation. • We recommend that 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 its lifespan. The level of maintenance will vary depending on 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. Depending on the complexity of the system a contract with an OWTS maintenance provider may be prudent. Below are some basic recommendations for the OWTS O&M. OWTS HOUSEHOLD OPERATION • Use of high efficiency water fixtures is recommended to decrease the hydraulic load on the OWTS system. • Fix plumbing leaks immediately as this may cause a hydraulic overload of the STA. Project No.17-7-166.02 - 10 - • Do not irrigate the area on top of or directly upgradient of the STA 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 includes: 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. 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 tank 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 STA. • 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 STA. • The effluent in septic tanks can freeze during extended periods of non-use in cold weather. We recommend that a tank heater be installed in this system to help prevent freezing. OWTS MAINTENANCE • Inspect the septic tank, dose tank, Biotube pump vault, effluent pump and soil treatment 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. • 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 of the septic tank 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 tank. Project No.17-7-166.02 - 11 - OWTS CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION The Eagle County Environmental Health Department requires that the designer of the system provide a record drawing and certification of the OWTS construction (As-Built inspection). We should be provided with at least 48-hour notice prior to the installer needing the inspections. Prior to issuance of our certification letter, we require observation of all system components prior to backfill. The number of site visits required for the inspection will depend on the installer’s construction schedule. LIMITATIONS We have conducted this design in accordance with generally accepted engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either expressed or implied. The recommendations provided in this report are based on the site conditions, profile pit evaluations, soil texture analysis, the proposed 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 our design. It is our opinion, that the designed location of the OWTS components does not violate any setback requirements of the current Eagle County Regulations.
