Permitted Construction / Details:
Install the OWTS exactly as depicted in the HP Kumar design stamped, signed, and dated January 11, 2019 by David
A. Young, PE. The system is designed to serve a 3 bedroom single family residence.
The OWTS consists of a 1,000 gallon two compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee, followed by
two shallow serially connected trenches, each with 17 Infiltrator Quick4 Plus Standard chamber, for a total of 34
chambers. Install inspection ports on both ends of each trench. Maintain all setbacks and elevations in accordance
with regulations. The exact location of the proposed waterline was not know at the time of design, be sure to stake
water line prior to installation. If waterline encroaches upon the minimum required setback contact the design
engineer for recommendations.
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 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 or occupancy of the dwelling.

RE: Final approval of the: Septic System Installation, OWTS-017563-2019
Property location: 922 Mayne Street, Gypsum, Eagle County, Colorado
Mr. Kudel,
This letter is to inform you that the above-referenced permit has been inspected, approved, and
finalized. This OWTS major repair permit was approved to serve a total of three (3) bedrooms.
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 im mediately 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.

Permit No. OWTS-017563-2019
Subject: Certification of Onsite Wastewater Treatment System, Proposed Residence, Lot
15, Horse Pasture, 922 Mayne Street, Gypsum, Eagle County, Colorado
Dear Dave:
A representative of Kumar & Associates observed the installation of the Onsite Wastewater
Treatment System (OWTS) for the residence currently under construction at the subject site as
required by the Eagle County Environmental Health Department. 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 you dated November 26,
2018.
We previously designed the OWTS for the residence as submitted in our report dated January 11,
2019, Project No. 18-7-706.02. The system was designed for three bedrooms. The OWTS was
installed under Eagle County Permit Number OWTS-017563-2019 by Reynolds Corporation.
We performed our evaluation on November 11, 2019. The OWTS components observed
included: sewer line, cleanout, septic tank, effluent line, 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.
It is our opinion that the OWTS was installed in general conformance with the above referenced
design.
The observations and recommendations presented above are based on our site observations and
our experience in the area. We make no warranty either express or implied. Alterations to the

INTRODUCTION
This report provides the results of an onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) design for the
proposed residence to be located on Lot 15, Horse Pasture, 922 Mayne Street, Gypsum,
Colorado. The purpose of this report is to provide design details for the OWTS in accordance
with 2018 Eagle County Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Regulations and the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment’s Regulation #43. The design study was
conducted as part of our agreement for geotechnical engineering services to Dave Kudel dated
November 26, 2018. We recently prepared a subsoil study for foundation design of the residence
and submitted our recommendations in a report dated December 18, 2018, Project No. 18-7-706.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed construction consists of a 3-bedroom single family residence with an attached
garage located on the lot as shown on Figure 1. The lower level will be a walkout basement
daylighting to the northwest. The ground floors will be slab-on-grade. The proposed OWTS soil
treatment area (STA) is planned to be located to the west of the residence. Water service will be
provided to the residence by a public water system from northwest of the residence, probably
from the existing hydrant shown on Figure 1 trending east and south along the driveway to the
residence.
If proposed construction is different than that described, we should be contacted to re-evaluate
our design recommendations.
SITE CONDITIONS
The lot is vacant and the building site has undergone some grading. The area to the west of the
building site and planned soil treatment area for the OWTS is mostly natural terrain. A piped
irrigation ditch (Chatfield and Bartholomew Ditch) trends south to north about 60 feet west of
the planned STA. To the west of the ditch is irrigated horse pasture. We are not aware of any
nearby water wells.
- 2 -
Project No. 18-7-706.02
The terrain slopes at the site down to the northwest at grades of about 20 to 30% on the hillside
where the residence and STA is planned. Vegetation consisted of a scattered sagebrush and
grasses and landscaped conifers to the northwest of the proposed STA. Most of the building site
has little or no vegetation due to the grading.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The field exploration for the OWTS was conducted by a representative of H-P/Kumar on
November 27, 2018. Two profile pits (Profile Pits 1 and 2) were excavated with a backhoe at the
approximate locations shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the subsurface conditions at the planned
STA. The pits were logged by a representative of H-P/Kumar. Logs of the profile pits are
provided below.
Log of Profile Pit 1
Depth USDA Classification
0-2½’ SILT LOAM to SANDY LOAM; weak blocky structure, stiff, slightly moist, tan,
gypsiferous.
2½’-8’ LOAMY SAND; with scattered gravel, single grain structure, medium dense,
slightly moist, brown.
• Disturbed bulk sample obtained from 1½ to 2½ feet.
• Bottom of pit @ 8 feet.
• No free water or redoximorphic features observed at time of pit excavation.
Log of Profile Pit 2
Depth USDA Classification
0-1½’ LOAM; roots and organics, granular structure, loose, slightly moist, tan.
1½’-8’ LOAMY SAND to SAND; with scattered gravel, single grain structure, medium
dense, slightly moist, brown, gypsiferous.
• Bottom of pit @ 8 feet.
• No free water or redoximorphic features observed at time of pit excavation.
The soils encountered in Profile Pit 1 consisted of about 2½ feet of Silt Loam to Sandy Loam
overlying Loamy Sand to the pit depth of 8 feet. In Profile Pit 2, the soils encountered consisted
of about 1½ feet of Loam overlying Loamy Sand to Sand to the pit depth of 8 feet. A
hydrometer and gradation analyses were performed on a disturbed bulk sample of the soils from
- 3 -
Project No. 18-7-706.02
Profile Pit 1 from 1½ to 2½ feet depth with the results provided on Figure 2. The tested sample
(minus No. 10 size sieve fraction) classified as Sandy Loam per the USDA system. Based on the
subsurface conditions, the upper 1½ to 2½ feet of soils have been classified as Soil Type 2A per
State regulations and the underlying soils have been classified as Soil Type 1. No free water was
encountered in the pits or indications of seasonal high groundwater observed at the time of
excavation.
In addition to the two profile pits, percolation testing was performed in two holes hand dug in the
bottoms of shallow backhoe pits on November 27, 2018. The tests were performed at depths of
29 and 32 inches The percolation rates obtained ranged from about 5 to 10 minutes per inch
(mpi). Percolation test procedures outlined in Colorado State Health Department Regulation #43
were not utilized and the results were only used for comparison to our profile pit evaluations.
OWTS ANALYSIS
Based on the site conditions and profile pit evaluations, the site appears feasible for a
conventional infiltration STA system consisting of Infiltrator chambers in a trench configuration.
The base of the soil treatment trenches will be in Loamy Sand to Sand soils (Soil Type 1) for
which we will use an LTAR of 0.8 gallons per square foot per day to size the STA. Trenches
should be excavated down to the Loamy Sand to Sand soils below the Silt Loam, Loam and
Sandy Loam soils. The system will be designed for three bedrooms.
The sewage effluent will gravity flow to the septic tank for primary treatment, then gravity flow
to the STA for dispersal and final treatment. The STA will consist of two trenches with
Infiltrator Quick 4 Plus Standard chambers in a serial distribution network.
A 25 feet setback is required from the proposed STA to any potable water supply lines. The
location of the water supply line is currently not yet designed but should be located beyond the
required set-back. If the water supply line is within 25 feet of the proposed STA, we should be
notified for additional recommendations. The STA must be at least 10 feet from the lot property
line and 20 feet from occupied structures.

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. A layout of the proposed
OWTS components is provided on Figure 1. If conditions encountered during construction are
different than those that are described in this report, please contact us and we will re-evaluate our
design recommendations. We should observe the trench excavations prior to the Infiltrator
installation to verify the infiltration surface soils are the sand soils we have assumed for the
design.
SOIL TREATMENT AREA
• Soil treatment area calculations are shown in Figure 3.
• The STA was sized based on an LTAR of 0.8 gallons per square feet per day.
• The STA will consist of two trenches with 17 Infiltrator Quick 4 Plus Standard chambers
in each (34 chambers total) placed in the native Loamy Sand to Sand soils. Effluent
distribution will be provided by a serial distribution system.
• Each chamber was allowed 12 square feet of area. A 30% reduction of the STA size was
applied for use of Infiltrator chambers in a trench configuration. The total STA is 408
square feet.
• A minimum of four feet of undisturbed soils between the trenches is required.
• The trenches should be oriented along ground contours to minimize soil cut and cover.
• The base and sidewalls of the trench excavations should be scarified prior to the chamber
placement.
• A minimum of 12 inches and a maximum of 24 inches of cover soil should be placed
over the chambers.
• Backfill should be graded to deflect surface water away from the STA and should be
sloped at 3 horizontal to 1 vertical maximum. This is especially important along the up-
slope side of the field where a swale will likely 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 STA as this
may damage the system piping.
- 5 -
Project No. 18-7-706.02
• 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 4 and a cross section of the STA is
presented on Figure 5.
• The STA must maintain a 25 feet setback from the on-site water supply line.
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 1,000 gallon, two-chamber Valley Precast septic tank, or equivalent, is proposed for
primary treatment. A detail of the tank is provided as an attachment to the report.
• An effluent filter should be installed in the tank outlet tee.
• The tank must be a minimum of five feet from the residence and from the STA. The tank
must be a minimum of 10 feet from any potable water supply lines.
• 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 needed to prevent tank damage during placement and act as a leveling
course.
• The tank lids must extend to final surface grade and made to be easily located.
• Install the tank with 2 feet minimum cover soil for frost protection. Maximum tank soil
cover is 4 feet.
- 6 -
Project No. 18-7-706.02
Sewer Pipe
• The sewer line to the septic tank should not be less than the diameter of the building
drains and not less than 4 inches in diameter.
• The sewer pipes should have a rating of SDR35 or stronger.
• 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.
• A minimum 36 inches of cover soil should be provided over the sewer 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 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 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
• 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 in the pipe could cause standing effluent to
freeze and damage the piping.
• Install cleanout pipes within 5 feet of the building foundation, where the sewer pipes
bend 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 residence. It is the responsibility of the
owner/contractors 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 residence.
Effluent Transport Piping
• The effluent transport pipe should be 4-inch diameter SDR35 piping sloped at a 2%
minimum to flow from the septic tank to the first trench. Piping should extend at least 6
- 7 -
Project No. 18-7-706.02
inches into the top knockout provided in the Infiltrator end caps and be screwed in place.
Splash plates should be installed beneath the inlet piping to help limit scouring of the
infiltrative soil surface in the chambers.
• The serial connection between the rows should also consist of 4-inch diameter SDR35
piping sloped at a 2% minimum to drain to the next trench. Piping should extend at least
6 inches into the knockout provided in the Infiltrator end caps and be screwed in place.
• 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 to the piping.
• A minimum 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 insulation with at
least 2 inches of rigid foam insulation in these areas. If adequate cover soil is not
possible, we 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.
OWTS OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The OWTS will require periodic inspection and maintenance to function properly. A properly
designed, installed and maintained system can greatl y 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.

Project No. 18-7-706.02
OWTS HOUSEHOLD OPERATION
The OWTS will require periodic inspection and maintenance to function properly. The level of
maintenance will vary depending on the complexity of the system and water use habits of the
residents. Below are some basic recommendations for the OWTS O&M.
• 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.
• 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, effluent pump, effluent pump vault filter and soil treatment area at
least annually for problems or signs of failure.
- 9 -
Project No. 18-7-706.02
• The pump vault 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 treatment 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.
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 inspection.
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.
