HomeMy WebLinkAbout11299 Frying Pan Rd - 24691130000811299 Frying Pan Road septic repair – current owner Robert Woods. Installer – Steve Burns.
History according to Robert Woods and after reviewing our records
The aforementioned residence was originally constructed in 1963. The residence is served by two
separate septic systems; one system receives wastewater from a kitchen and bathroom associated with a
single bedroom while the other septic system located on the other side of the house receives
wastewater from bathroom plumbing near two other bedrooms. It is not known why the residence is
served this way but it clearly pre-dates our current ISDS regulations. This makes their system(s)
pre-existing, non-conforming. The significance of this is that according to 4.03.08 of our Eagle County
Land Use Regulations (ECLUR) ……”upon failure or need of repair or alteration, pre-existing,
non-conforming systems must be brought up to current regulation of a two-compartment septic tank
and the required square footage of absorption area.”
In 2003, the current owner obtained a building permit (#15177) to extensively remodel the residence
from the foundation up, meaning that no changes were proposed to be made to the existing septic
system(s). Our building permit records indicate that the owner provided evidence that two tanks exist
that are of sufficient capacity to serve the residence by sending pumping records from B&R Septic
showing a 1,000 gallon tank existed on one side of the house while a 1,200 tank existed on the other.
Building records reported one tank to be 1,250 gallons which doesn’t match the [1,200 gallon] capacity
shown on the pumping receipt.
In 2011, one of the tanks collapsed and the owner contracted with Avalanche Excavating to obtain a
permit to replace the tank. According to the owner, the collapsed tank serves the kitchen and bathroom
associated with one bedroom. The installer, Steve Burns, recommended a 1,000 ROTH plastic composite
tank.
The issue is whether the entire system(s) need to be brought up to current standards. To the degree that
both systems are pre-existing, non-conforming, only one of them has failed. The owner has been
advised that we will issue a repair/emergency use permit that will allow replacement of the collapsed
tank. However, since we don’t know the square footage of the absorption area, either a new soil
treatment unit must be installed or an engineer must certify that that the existing absorption area is
adequate. Therefore, the emergency use permit will be issued for 30 days and may be extended for
good cause shown until such time as the owner either brings the system up to current code. The other
system is also pre-existing and non-conforming but has not failed and is not in need of repair or
alteration. Therefore, the other system can remain in place until such time as failure, repair or alteration
takes place.

Robert,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC performed installation observat ions in September and on October 5th
2011 for the subject property.
The installation included a 1000-gallon, two-compartment ROTH plastic septic tank with an effluent
filter on the outlet, followed by a 500 gallon Infiltrator septic tank with a pump. The drain field
consisted of one drywell that was 20ft x 20ft and 10ft in depth equaling a total area of 1200 SF.
Perforated laterals were installed in the drywell to distribute effluent. Concrete sand was placed in the
bottom of the drywell to aid in treatment processes.
The OWS 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 OWS.

The observations were based on our site visits and information submitted by client. If conditions are
different from conditions described in this letter, ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified. All
additional OWS construction must be according to the county regulations. The installer should have
documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in which
