Inspection Notes
The above-referenced permit has been inspected and finalized.
The permit was issued to repair and replace the cast iron sewer line in poor condition, original permit IS-450 to the existing
fiberglass tank serving the duplex at 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.

As requested, Altitude Septic performed a septic system inspection at the above address on May 13, 2021. A video
inspection of the pipe from unit #A to the septic tank was also completed on this date. The property is listed under
parcel #1941-352-02-022 (Unit #A) and parcel #1941-352-02-023 (Unit #B) to account for the existing duplex
dwelling which has a shared septic system. The Eagle County Assessor shows the lot sizes as 0.730-acres for unit #A
and 0.740-acres for unit #B, respectively. Records were obtained from Eagle County Environmental Health
Department documenting the installation of the septic system in 1980 under permit #450 . The septic system was
sized and approved for a total of six-bedrooms or three per unit and verified the installation of one 1,500-gallon
septic tank with 1,200 square feet of leach field area.
The septic tank is located on the west side of the duplex and is made of fiberglass. Both inlet and outlet baffles are
in place as required, and we verified the partition wall between the compartments is also present and functional.
The liquid levels in the tank were normal, and the tank was pumped out within the last few weeks by another
company. The septic tank is in good condition, with the exception, of a crack in the top near the second opening.
The crack extends downward about a foot but stops above the normal liquid level and in no way affects the
functionality of the tank. Access to the septic tank openings is difficult as the tank is about four feet below grade
and the original riser accommodations were made of wood which is badly deteriorated.
No outside clean-outs were observed from either unit. We accessed the pipe from the crawl space in unit #A and
used a camera to inspect the line to the septic tank. Near the foundation wall the pipe transitions to cast iron and
there is a low spot that is holding water beginning at the foundation and extending about ten feet. At forty feet
from the access point the pipe condition begins to deteriorate with small roots growing into the pipe as it nears the
tank. We also pushed the camera through a clog in the pipe at sixty-two feet which is just before the pipe from unit
#B connects to the same line. The pipe runs along the north side of unit #B and is under the deck on that side of the
duplex.
The leach field is west of the septic tank and several feet lower. Due to the age of the field, there are no inspection
ports, but the entire perimeter was walked and observed with no visible indications of surfacing or failure. The area
is free of shrubs and brush with good grass cover which helps with the evapotranspiration of liquid in the field.
From our observations, both the septic tank and leach field are functioning normally.
Upon completion of the inspection, we believe the following is the most efficient method of repair:
Replace the line coming from unit #A starting at the foundation wall in order to correct the low spot and
remove the compromised pipe. This would include replacing the short section of pipe from unit #B that
connects with the line before the septic tank. Install plastic riser rings over each opening after removing the dirt
and debris that is present on top of the tank and using construction adhesive or something similar, to repair the
crack. The plastic material could be cut to the form of the tank and properly sealed in order to keep dirt and
debris from entering the tank. It will be necessary to obtain a permit from Environmental Health for this repair,
but it will not be necessary to hire an engineer.
We will include an estimate with a breakdown of the costs, but feel free to contact me directly with any questions
that may arise (970) 471-6292.
