RE: Final approval of the: Septic System Installation, OWTS- 9-15-13332 Property location: 1430
Hooks Spur Rd. Parcel A of Hook Spur Ranch, Eagle County area.
Mr. Golec:
This letter is to inform you that the above-referenced, OWTS-9-15-13332 permit, has been
inspected and finalized. This permit was approved and sized to connect the bathroom plumbing
from a new barn to an existing septic system (ISDS 1964-00) which served a guest cabin.
Additional information about the maintenance 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
tap roots, irrigation systems and parking areas above the soil treatment area can cause
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.
Best Regards,
Giovanna Harkay.

Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
Barn/Stable
1430 Hooks Spur Road
Eagle County, Colorado
Permit No. OWTS-9-15-13332
Robert and Cara,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS)
on August 12, 2015 for the subject property. Larry Martin Construction installed the sewer line.
The existing OWTS is permitted under Eagle County Environmental Health Department Individual
Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) Permit 1964-00. The system consists of a 1000-gallon septic tank,
followed by 19 ‘Standard’ Infiltrator® chambers.
A 4-inch diameter sewer line with double-sweep cleanout was installed from the Barn/Stable to the
existing septic tank. This new sewer line “y”s into the existing sewer line. An additional clean out was
installed, as the length of the sewer line from the barn to the tank exceeded 100-feet.
An effluent filter was installed on the outlet tee of the existing septic tank. This filter must be cleaned
annually, or as needed.
The existing OWTS was in use at the time of the June 12, 2015 inspection and appeared to be
functioning properly with no evidence of surface saturation or failure. There was approximately 1-inch of
standing water observed in the inspection port of the first trench of the STA. This is normal, as the STA
is set up to be distributed serially. The last inspection port was found to be dry. One of the inspection
ports was broken and was repaired. If desired, these ports can be cut to grade and placed is a sprinkler
or valve box for access. No livestock or heavy equipment traffic is allowed over the existing STA.
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 OW TS 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.
Sincerely,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC Reviewed By:

Subsurface Investigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Inspection
Barn/Stable
1430 Hooks Spur Road
Eagle County, Colorado
Robert and Cara,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC performed a subsurface investigation and inspected the existing onsite
wastewater treatment system (OWTS) serving the existing Guest House. The plumbing in the new
Barn/Stable will tie into this existing OWTS. The 12.0- acre property is located outside of Basalt, in an
area where OWTSs and wells are necessary.
The legal description of the property “Site” is as follows:
Tract: 42 Section: 4 Township: 8 Range: 87 Tract: 56 Section: 4 Township: 8 Range: 87 PCLIN
E1/2SE1/4 AKA PARCEL A OF HOOKSPUR RANCH
SITE CONDITIONS
A 2-bedroom, single-family residence and 2-bedroom cabin (Guest House) presently exist on the
property and are utilizing existing OWTSs. Inspections of these OWTSs were preformed prior to sale of
the property and both inspection reports (dated October 23, 2014) are enclosed. Both systems were
found to be functioning properly. With the overall proposed development of the property, the former 2-
bedroom cabin (Guest House) will be renovated and will no longer be utilized as a residence.
A new Barn/Stable is proposed and plumbing from the Barn/Stable (one toilet and lavatory) will be
plumbed into the OWTS serving the existing Guest House. This OWTS is documented by Eagle County
Environmental Health Department Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) Permit 1964 -00.
Anticipated flow from the Barn/Stable are not expected to exceed 33.2 gallons per day (per sizing criteria
outlined in Table 6-2, Eagle County On-Site Wastewater Treatment System Regulations, adopted
May 13, 2014.) Calculations regarding the inclusion of the barn pluming into this OWTS are included
below
A new 4-bedroom single-family residence is also proposed on the property and will be served by a
separate OWTS under a separate OWTS Construction permit.
Two private wells exist on the 22.75-acre property. Both wells are greater than greater than 50-feet from
the existing septic tank and greater than 100-feet from the existing soil treatment area (STA).

SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on June 12, 2015 by digging two soil profile test pit excavations (Test Pits).
A visual and tactile soil analysis of the soil was completed by Carla Ostberg at the time of excavation.1
The materials encountered in Test Pit #1 consisted of dark brown, moist topsoil to 2.0-feet, underlain by
medium to light brown loamy sand with some cobbles approximately 2 to 4-inches in diameter to a
maximum depth explored of 9-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was encountered.
The materials encountered in Test Pit #2 was consistent with those in Test Pit #1, with the exception of
the topsoil layer only extending to approximately 1-foot below grade.
A tactile analysis of the soils was taken from Test Pit #1 at approximately 3-feet below grade. The soil
formed a ball, but no ribbon. Soil structure shape was granular, soil structure grade was strong, and
consistence was loose.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
Custom Soil Resource Report for Aspen-Gypsum Area, Colorado, Parts of Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin
Counties is also enclosed. Information provided in this report is generally consistent with Site
reconnaissance and subsurface investigation findings.
For comparison purposes, STA sizing is based on Soil Type 1, Loamy Sand. A long term acceptance
rate (LTAR) of 0.8 gallons per square foot, will be used to compare sizing of the existing OWTS to
what would be required under current code, in accordance with Table 10-1 Soil Type 1 presented
in the Eagle County On-Site Wastewater Treatment System Regulations, adopted May 13, 2014.

OWTS CALCULATIONS
The existing OWTS is permitted under Eagle County Environmental Health Department Individual
Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) Permit 1964-00. The system consists of a 1000-gallon septic tank,
followed by 19 ‘Standard’ Infiltrator® chambers. The Eagle County documents were not obtained until
AFTER the original inspections were conducted. The dimensions of a ‘Standard’ chamber are 6.25-feet
by 3-feet; therefore, under current code, the chambers would be given credit for a total of 356.25 square
feet of infiltrative area.
Inlet tee Outlet tee Existing STA – inspection ports
For purposes of sizing comparison, the Guest House will be considered 2-bedrooms (although it will no
longer be utilized as a residence), and flow from the Barn/Stable with a toilet and lavatory is calculated at
33.2 gallons/day with anticipated use by one person/day. Table 1 compares the existing OWTS sizing to
the minimum capacity required under current code.
Calculations:
Average Design Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 2 bedrooms + 33.2 GPD = 333.2 GPD
LTAR = 0.8 GPD/SF
333.2 GPD / 0.8 GPD/SF x 1.0 (gravity trenches) x 0.7 (chambers) = 292 SF
Table 1
Existing OWTS Required Capacity
Tank capacity 1000-gallons 1000-gallons
STA 356.25 square feet 292 square feet
The existing STA is larger than the minimum required area under current code to serve 2 -bedrooms and
flow from a toilet and lavatory in the Barn/Stable for use by one person per day.
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Only domestic wastewater from sinks and the toilet are permitted to be routed to the existing OWTS.
A 4-inch diameter sewer line with double-sweep cleanout will be installed from the Barn/Stable to the
existing septic tank. This new sewer line may “y” into the existing sewer line or enter the septic tank
through one of the side knock outs. This line must have a minimum fall of 2% to the tank. The trench
must be well compacted and the pipe should be bedded in screened rock. If the length of this pipe
exceeds 100-feet, additional cleanouts must be installed. Where the sewer line runs under the driveway,
it must be minimum Schedule 40 rated pipe and covered with blue board insulation for protection from
freezing.
Page 4
An effluent filter must be installed on the outlet tee of the existing septic tank. This filter must be cleaned
annually, or as needed.
The existing OWTS was in use at the time of the June 12, 2015 inspection and appeared to be
functioning properly with no evidence of surface saturation or failure. There was approximately 1-inch of
standing water observed in the inspection port of the first trench of the STA. This is normal, as the STA
is set up to be distributed serially. The last inspection port was found to be dry. One of the inspection
ports was broken and must be repaired. If desired, these ports can be cut to grade and placed is a
sprinkler or valve box for access. No livestock or heavy equipment traffic is allowed over the existing
STA.
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.
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.
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.
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, air release valves and 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.
Page 5
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.
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.
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.

Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Inspection
1430 Hooks Spur Road (cabin)
Eagle County, Colorado
Trudi,
CBO Inc. performed an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) inspection at 1430 Hooks Spur
Lane, Basalt, CO on October 21, 2014. No documents pertaining to the OWTS were available from
Eagle County Environmental Health Department.
The subject OWTS consists of a 1000-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank. B&R Septic had
recently pumped the septic tank. The septic tank appeared to be in good condition. The lids were found
to be in disrepair and were replaced. Inlet and outlet tees were present. If desired, an effluent filter could
be added to outlet tee. If added, this filter should be cleaned annually, or as needed.
The absorption area size is unknown, but appears to be located to the northeast of the tank and house.
An inspection port was present and was dry. The absorption area showed no signs of surface saturation,
and had no indication of failure.
Recommendations:
Add effluent filter (optional). If added, this filter will need to be cleaned annually, or as
needed.
Pump septic tank as needed, as gauged by accumulation of solids in the tank.
This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
Carla Ostberg, MPH, REHS

Lane, Basalt, CO on October 21, 2014.
The subject OWTS was sized to accommodate 2 bedrooms and consists of one 1000-gallon, two-
compartment concrete septic tank and an absorption area consisting of two rows of 9 ‘Quick 4’ Infiltrator®
chambers in each row, connected serially, for a total of 18 total chambers or 281 square feet of infiltrative
area (using 15.5 square feet per chamber). The Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) Permit and
as-built drawing were provided by Eagle County Environmental Health Department. ISDS Permit #1964-
00 documents this system installation.
A clean-out is present near the house. The septic tank appeared to be in good condition. Inlet and outlet
tees were present, with an effluent filter present on the outlet tee. The tank had recently been pumped
by B&R Septic. Inspection ports were present and were dry. The absorption area showed no signs of
surface saturation, and had no indication of failure.
Recommendations:
Clean effluent filter annually, or as needed.
Pump septic tank as needed, as gauged by accumulation of solids in the tank.
Add 6-inch risers to bring septic tank lids to grade.
