Permitted Construction / Details:
Install the new system exactly as depicted in the Brock Civil LLC design dated March 2nd, 2022, stamped and signed
on March 1st, 2022 by Vern L Brock, PE. This system is designed to accommodate the maximum daily flows for the
office auxiliary building with a full bathroom including a bath/shower, water closet, lavatory, laundry sink/washer
and the wastewater for one commercial employee. A professional evaluation was conditionally provided to indicate
that the existing system permitted under 2326-03 will be sufficient to support the addition of one bedroom to the
main residence.
This OWTS consists of one sewer line from the office. A Valley Precast, 1,000 gallon, two-compartment septic tank
will be used with a bio filter in the outlet tee, equipped with an audible and visual high water alarm. The STA
consists of one trench with 9 Infiltrator Quick4 Standard chambers.
Contact Eagle County Environmental Health and the design engineer well in advance of requesting inspections prior
to backfilling any component of the OWTS. The design engineer is responsible for conducting all inspections
necessary to certify the installation and assure the functionality of the system. System certification, along with
photos and a record drawing is required to be submitted to and approved by Eagle County Environmental Health
prior to the use of the system.

Hi Vern,
Looks like we did not get out on an inspection. The final cert and the photo compiled have different permit numbers and
dates. Are these the correct photos for this permit? Also, you included photos from the old 2003 permit, can you comment
on why or remove them? We need some photos of the installed distribution media, chambers, prior to backfill, can you
provide those?
Thank you

Caire,
I found the discrepancy permit numbers that you mentioned. On a different, Is Alvaro Carrillo’s (Valleywide Builders and

Claire,
I corrected the OWTS number on the attached Progress Pictures Report and removed the undated polaroid looking
pictures. Mr. Alvaro Carrillo said that he said he called the EH department for an inspection, but there may have been a
language snafu on our behalf that he had to wait for confirmation of the inspection, and that pictures are not an exemption
from inspection.
Regardless, I am willing to attest that: the required number of chambers were installed correctly (based on measurement
between the inspection ports – approx. 37 ft - and the attached delivery ticket); and the (9) Q-4 Chambers trench was on
level grade based on my picture(s) and inspection; and the pipe and chambers were backfilled correctly based on the
grading and final pictures; the backfill was void of large rocks (per numerous pictures and inspections); the 4 inch PVC
outlet line from the septic tank to the Chambers had a discernable minimum 2% fall to the STA based on the pictures, job
level and my inspection; I saw the PVC pipe and the Quick 4 Infiltrator Chambers on site during the work. The delivery
ticket also shows zip ties were delivered for the proper securing of the Chambers.
Please review the subject installation based on this new observation report, picture, delivery ticket and my certification
that the intent of the Standard 43.4.F. was met at the time of construction.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Regards,
Vern L. Brock, MS, P.E.

Septic Analysis for main house
Date:March 4, 2022
Re:1055 B Cottonwood Pass Road, EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO, 81637
To:Eagle County Environmental Health Department
500 Broadway, Eagle, CO 81631
Dear Environmental Health Department:
This addendum to the septic permit is provided to supplement the proposed building
permit for the addition of (1) bedroom to the existing residence (total 5) to be
determined under separate permit, and to assist in the review of the original septic
PERMIT CONDITIONS & REPORT (permit #2326-03) (March 2003) (report) to the
existing regulations (CDPHE Reg 43) as adopted by Eagle County (2018).
The parcel is a 39 Acre parcel with an existing residence served by an OWTS since
2003. It has a sloped wooded hillside, a benched area with about 10 percent slopes
between structures, sloping to the east. The evaluation of the existing OWTS is as
follows:

DESIGN FLOWS
Number of bedrooms = 5
Number of persons per bedroom = 2 (design flow)
Single Family Residential Design Flows = 75 gallons/day/person
Q design = 5 bdrms x 2 persons/bdrm x 75 gallons/person/day = 750 gpd
2 | P a g e
SOILS PROFILE (Visual and tactile investigation):
Profile Holes (1) Textural Classification
0.0 to 1.0 ft Topsoil with heavy organics
1.0 to 8.0 ft Silty loam and sand, single grain structureless (USDA)
No groundwater. No wetting of soils in profile holes
PERCOLATION TESTS: The percolation of the soils from the original PERMIT
CONDITIONS will be converted to the current regulations as required: Percolation
12 MPI, sandy silty soil, TL 1, LTAR = 0.80. The report Visual and tactile evaluation
of the treatment soil indicates silty loam, sandy with a percolation rate of 16-25
Minutes/Inch.
INFILTRATOR CHAMBER MOUND SYSTEM IN SERIAL TRENCH DISTRIBUTION
Given this information, the residence would be best served by a chamber system in
serial trench distribution, with a pressure dose (approx. 4x/day)
Treatment Level 1 Effluent: Per Tables 6-3: 10-3.
Surface of Soil Treatment Area (STA) shall be based on LTAR and not the
percolation rate.
Soil Treatment Area = Design Flow (gals/day)/LTAR gal/day/SF.
Long Term Acceptance Rate (LTAR) is calculated as follows:
·According to Table 10-1, the LTAR is estimated to be 0.8 Gal/day/SF.
·Design Flow = 750 GPD/ 0.8 G/day/SF x (0.7) (Table 10-3) (Chambers)= 656
SF of Surface Treatment Area (STA) required.
·The original PERMIT CONDITIONS indicate 1275 sf of STA was constructed
and verified by several parties in the final certification. Although it is not known the
type and size of the chambers used, Permit, site and design conditions indicate that
the STA will function with a greater treatment area due to the numerous turns and
trenches constructed (8 total). The inherent design of the chambers will saturate
and treat effluent at each connection between chambers before failing and flowing to
the next trench. The total STA was calculated as 1500 square feet (SF).
SEPTIC TANK: For a maximum 5-bedroom residential structure, Minimum Tank
Capacity is 1,500 gallons in the first 2 chambers with a minimum of 48 hours of
retention. The existing Valley Precast Tank 1,250-gal 3 compartment appears to
meet water tightness per Section 9, ASTM C 1227-12.
CHAMBER TRENCH CONSTRUCTION: Pictures and certification (s) from the
original Permit Records and Department of Health indicate the chambers were
installed according to manufacturer's recommendations.
TOPSOIL CONSTRUCTION: Back fill over chambers was 12 inches of high
organic topsoil and reseeded according to pictures of the Permit Records.
3 | P a g e
SEPTIC TANK CONSTRUCTION: The septic tank is a 1,250-gallon concrete tank
according to the tank invoice. Discussion with the OWTS contractor indicates it was
installed level and with 6" sand gravel bedding, as well as the delivery pipe from the
residence to the septic tank minimum 2% slope, SDR 35 used for all piping except
he reports that the pipe is Schedule 40 under the driveway. Septic tank to have
risers brought to final grade and shall have a secure locking mechanism.
ALARM: A visual and audible alarm shall be incorporated into the controls and
electrical connections. Alarm to be in an open area or area easily visible.
NOTES:
1.The building sewer line from the house to the septic tank reported to have a
minimum slope of ¼ inch per foot (2%). Bends in the building sewer were limited to
45 degrees.
2.Infiltrator Chambers reported to be installed according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
3.Vehicle traffic, animal concentrated loads and irrigation over the system is
prohibited. Fencing advised.
4.Electrical requirements of alarm to be determined by Electrical Contractor
prior to construction.
5.The Bio effluent screen shall be installed in the outlet tee of the second
chamber with both tees visible from the access portals. Screen shall be maintained
annually or as needed.
6.Pump septic tank every 2-3 years minimum to prevent deterioration of
concrete and premature failure of surface treatment area.
7.Installer of these conditions must be licensed installer in Eagle County; see
permit.

SUMMARY:
4 | P a g e
1)It is reported that the current OWTS is functioning properly with no back-ups or
surfacing of effluent in the STA.
2)Based on the best available information and review, the existing 1,250-gallon
septic tank is sufficient to serve the residence, providing annualized pumping
and maintenance is employed. It must be understood by current and future
owners that an OWTS is a “progressive failure” system where the actual service
life is determined by actual usage and maintenance.
3)A biofilter shall be installed on the outlet pipe per current Regulations.
4)The septic tank shall have concrete risers extended to the surface with
tamperproof mechanism installed per current Regulations.
5)An audible alarm shall be installed on the tank per the Regulations.
6)Additional inspection of the trenches shall be subsidiary to this review during
seasonal (spring) conditions to determine the percentage of “progressive failure”
in the respective trenches and reported to the owner and the Department of
Environmental Health in written format.
7)It appears the OWTS meets all minimum dimensions to facilities per the
Regulations.
8)It appears an alternate STA site is available on the parcel, although always
subject to the regulations, design and construction constraints at that time.

OWTS ADDENDUM TO THE DESIGN DRAWINGS
SPECIFIC TO THE BECKETT OFFICE OWTS
Date:March 4, 2022
Re:1055 B COTTONWOOD PASS RD., EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO, 81637
To:Eagle County Environmental Health
500 Broadway, Eagle, Colo
Dear Environmental Health:
This addendum is provided to supplement the design drawings sent March 2, 2022, to
assist in the review of the engineering drawings and calculations therein for the OWTS
serving the Office auxiliary building at 1055 B Cottonwood Pass Road, Eagle County,
Colorado. References to Regulation 43 (Reg 43) refers to the requirements of the
Colorado Water Quality Control Commission’s Regulation No. 43 - On-site Wastewater
Treatment System Regulation, 5 CCR 1002-43, adopted July 10,2018, or as adopted
by Eagle County Environmental Health (EH), and all other Eagle County Land Use
Regulations that may apply.
FACILITY
The parcel is a 39.99 Acre parcel with some benches on a generally up-sloping
hillside. There is no active surface water on the property, but the dry gulches probably
flow during spring run-off. The use is rural residential.
The proposed office is auxiliary to the existing 4-bedroom residence, and resides about
300 ft to the north-east, on the lower bench.
The proposed office will have a bathroom with a bath/shower, toilet, vanity. The STA
is sized also accommodate a laundry washer. Total septic load is calculated at 90
GPD.
That said, the on-site wastewater treatment system is best served by a gravity trench
in series system with Infiltrator Chambers to properly treat the effluent. It was reviewed
to have a pumped system to the Main House OWTS, but was rejected due to
topographic issues, drain-back issues, check-valve maintenance, potential failure of
the main house system (19 years old), excessive cost, noise, and potential freezing of
the force main line.
Contractor to clear trees as needed to prevent damage to the OWTS.
2 | P a g e
ABSORPTION AREA
The profile hole on the hillside soils was believed to be representative and consistent
for the entire STA. Profile pit on the hillside did not have groundwater, and soils were
not mottled, and absent of clay. The soils were determined to be Silt Loam with some
sand, with a percolation rate of 12 MPI. This is consistent with the original OWTS
permit conditions for soil type 2, Treatment Level 1. The original OWTS used an LTAR
of 0.75. Due to potential flow variations, an LTAR of 0.60 GPD/ SF was utilized.
For Treatment Level 1 (TL-1), the long-term acceptance rates by soil texture, soil
structure and percolation rate, the LTAR would be 0.60 gallons per day per square foot
(CDPHE, Table 10-1). There does not appear to have a limiting layer in the soil matrix
that would cause the effluent to surface or move laterally.
Reductions in the design flows included:
Chamber Reduction = 30% (Factor = .70)
The STA area chosen was evaluated to be the best location away from land features,
water features and the OFFICE/ GARAGE dwelling.
RESERVE STA
A reserve STA is an area reserved for the condition and likeliness of the failure of the
current designed OWTS. Inherently the STA - leach field is a “progressive failure”
component, and its life span is based on both environmental and human factors
affecting the biological treatment of the effluent. The OWTS would have a reserve
area below and extending to the northeast of the proposed STA. No pump is required.
1,000 GAL 2-COMPARTMENT SEPTIC TANK
The permit is for an auxiliary office and garage subsidiary to the 5-bedroom home.
The septic tank is built by Valley Precast, with an alarm installed by the licensed.
Visible and audible alarms to be tested prior to being connected to septic flows.
Contact Valley Precast at (719) 395-6764 for service and warranty work.
INSTALLATION
All work required to be by a licensed septic installer in Eagle County and experienced
with mound and dosing systems. Owner advised to obtain references.
Connection to the tank to be fitted with SDR 35 pipe extensions, and one (1)
“Fernco/Shear Guard” coupler at entrance to prevent breakage of pipe due to tank or
soil movement. A bio filter (effluent screen) at the exit pipe per the Regulations. No
over excavation allowed for septic tank or chambers. Install septic tank level on 6
inches of ¾” screen rock and 140 N filter fabric. All pipe to be solvent weld joints
(gasketed push-on fittings not allowed). Connections between the tank and risers
3 | P a g e
shall be sealed and watertight.
Backfill and compact the pipe trench, septic tank and risers to manufacturer
specifications. Use CDOT Class 6 Road base or ¾-inch screen rock for “shedding” all
pipe and tank to prevent settlement. Install 2-inch rigid insulation above pipe at all
areas of traffic or potential frost due to shallow pipe less than 4 ft depth. Risers to be to
grade with tamperproof lids.
SPECIAL GRADING
Grading shown on SS1 is approximate and subject to field conditions. Additional fill
may be required
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
Annual or maintenance as needed includes, but not limited to:
1)Cleansing of the septic tank bio-filter AS NEEDED.
2)Pumping of septic tank.
3)Prevent all disturbance to the surface treatment area, including vehicles,
humans and animals, and no non-natural watering. Fencing advised.
SEPTIC TANK DIMENSIONS TO FACILITIES
Separation to facilities is critical and the licensed installer is required to meet all
minimum distances between components of an On-Site Wastewater Treatment
System according to Table 7-1, Section 43.7 of Reg 43. Survey by others
recommended.
DEVIATIONS IN THE CONDITIONS OR CONFLICTING DESIGN TO THE
REGULATIONS
Notify the engineer of any deviations in the in-situ conditions or limitations to construct
the OWTS in accordance with the design drawings, this addendum, or Reg #43 prior to
commencement of the work subject to change.
ENGINEERING INSPECTION REQUIRED
The engineer shall be notified of all work, 48 hours in advance, to allow verification of
the work meeting the design drawings prior to backfill. No pictures allowed by
owner/contractor in lieu of engineering inspection – regardless of conditions or
hardship(s). No substitutions or changes allowed without prior engineer approval.
RECORD DRAWINGS REQUIRED
OWTS contractor and electrical contractor to provide engineer record drawings of all
work. In addition, provide “3-point” dimensions, and bearings of facilities in lieu of PLS
4 | P a g e
survey.
Provide record drawings to engineer a maximum of 30 days following completion to
allow for final certification process and submittals to Environmental Health.

DESIGN FLOWS
TABLE 6-2 - Auxiliary Buildings by fixture type;
Waste Water Commercial per employee (1) = 20 GPD (assumes in-house toilet)
Bath/Shower = 15 GPD
Lavatory = 9 GPD
Laundry Sink/Washer = 20 GPD
Water Closet (Toilet) = 24.8 GPD
Q Design = 89 GPD
SOILS PROFILE (Visual and tactile investigation):
Profile Holes (2) Textural Classification
0.0 to 1.0 ft Topsoil with heavy organics
1.0 to 6.0 ft Sandy, Silty Loam
6.0 to 8.0 ft Scattered rock (< 10%)
No groundwater. No mottling of soils in the profile holes to indicate that the highest seasonal water surface would impact the treatment
area. No layers or interfaces that will interfere with effluent movement.
Soil Type 2, Treatment Level 1.
PERCOLATION TESTS: Visual and tactile evaluation of the treatment soil indicates Sandy, Silty Loam to Loam with a
percolation rate of 12 Minutes/Inch.
INFILTRATOR CHAMBER SYSTEM IN SERIAL TRENCH DISTRIBUTION
Given this information, the creamery would be best served by a chamber system in serial trench distribution.
Treatment Level 1 Effluent: Per Table 6-3: 10-3.
Surface of Soil Treatment Area (STA) shall be based on LTAR and not the percolation rate.
Soil Treatment Area = Design Flow (gals/day)/LTAR gal/day/SF.
Long Term Acceptance Rate (LTAR) is calculated as follows:
·Silty Sand. According to Table 10-1, the LTAR is estimated to be 0.60 Gal/day/SF.
·Design Flow = 89 GPD/ 0.60 G/day/sf x (0.7) (Chamber Trench Reduction) (Table 10-3) = 104 SF.
·Using Standard Quick 4 Infiltrators; 104 SF/12 sf per Infiltrator = 9 Infiltrators.
·Trench shall be (1) run of (9) Infiltrators, TOTAL (9)
·Concrete 1000 gallon tank
·Chamber Product to be Infiltrator Systems, Inc. “Quick 4” Standard Chambers.
SEPTIC TANK: A 1000 gal septic tank is sufficient and meets a minimum 48 hours of retention. Inlet side 687 gallons, Outlet 323
gallons. Water tightness per Section 9, ASTM C 1227-12. Inspection by licensed pumper prior to work.
INSTALLATION
Install all components to the required setbacks required by regulations. No over excavation allowed for trenches.
CHAMBER TRENCH CONSTRUCTION: Install chambers onto undisturbed trench (approx) 3 ft X 36 ft bed level., in (1) runs of
(9) chambers. Backfill the chambers and all voids between with native Sandy Loam (no cobbles) to top of chambers.
TOP SOIL CONSTRUCTION: Back fill over chambers with 12 inches of high organic top soil and reseed to native vegetation. Do
not compact top soil!
SEPTIC TANK & PIPE CONSTRUCTION: Install septic tank bio-filter at exit pipe. Delivery pipe from the connex to the septic
tank 2% slope. Risers to grade with tamper proof lids.
ALARM:A visual and audible alarm shall be incorporated (added) to the septic tank. Alarm to be in an open area or area easily
visible.
NOTES:
1.Assemble and install the Infiltrator Chambers in the trenches according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
2.Avoid vehicle traffic, animal concentrated loads and irrigation over the system. Fencing advised.
3.The Septic System Installation shall be inspected by the Design Engineer prior to backfill. Pictures are not a substitution for
inspections
4.All installations shall meet the rules and regulations of the Eagle County Environmental Health Department.
5.Electrical requirements of alarm to be determined by Electrical Contractor prior to construction. In general, all electrical to be
24” below grade.
6.A Bio effluent screen shall be installed at outlet tee and maintained annually or as needed.
7.Pump septic tank every 2-3 years minimum.
8.Installer must be licensed installer in eagle county; see permit.
