This OWTS permit was approved and sized to serve the 5 bedrooms, residence. 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.

Tonka Excavation installed the system. The existing concrete septic tank was located under a concrete walk-way. The septic tank was abandoned in place by filling the tank with onsite material and imported gravels. The existing poly septic tank was removed. A new, double-sweep clean out was installed on the new, 4-inch diameter SDR-35 sewer line. A new, 1500-gallon, two-compartment Valley Precast concrete septic tank was installed. Risers were installed to bring manhole access to grade. An Orenco® Biotube Effluent filter was installed on the outlet tee of the septic tank. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed. A new, 4-inch diameter SDR-35 sewer line exits the septic tank and connects to the existing sewer line that serves the existing soil treatment area (STA). No rubber fittings were utilized in the repair, only glued fittings. The existing STA consists of 66 Biodiffuser chambers in a bed configuration. Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit 1526 documents the STA, which received final approval on September 7, 1995. Water was run into the existing STA and there were no signs of surface saturation or evidence of failure. 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 OWTS 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.

The 2.0-acre property is located outside of Basalt, in an area where OWTSs and wells are necessary. The legal description of the property is Lot 3, Dreager Subdivision. Parcel ID: 2465-113-01-003 SITE CONDITIONS The record drawing and permits were provided by Eagle County Environmental Health Department. The subject OWTS consists of one 1250-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank (installed in 1986) followed by a 1000-gallon, two-compartment poly septic tank (installed in 1995). Effluent gravity flows to a soil treatment area (STA) with 66 Biodiffuser chambers in a bed configuration (also installed in 1995). Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit 739 documents the original septic tank and received final approval in June 1986 and Permit 1526 documents the additional septic tank capacity and new STA and received final approval on September 7, 1995. The residence is served potable water by a private well. The well is located in the southwestern portion of the property, greater than 50-feet from the proposed septic tank. EXISTING OWTS We inspected the existing OWTS and found the existing poly septic tank to be in poor condition and potentially leaking. We recommend the septic tank be replaced. We walked the approximate area of the STA and found no signs of surface saturation or failure at the time of our inspection. The inspection report from CBO Inc. dated September 22, 2018 is enclosed. DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS The existing concrete septic tank must be pumped filled with onsite soils. This tank is located under an existing sidewalk. The existing poly septic tank should be pumped and either removed or abandoned in place by filling with onsite soils. A new concrete septic tank will replace the two separate tanks being abandoned. Page 2 The existing sewer line exiting the house should be evaluated to assure it is in good condition. A new, 4- inch diameter SDR-35 sewer line should be connected with a glued fitting (if materials allow) and a double-sweep clean out installed, where feasible. This sewer line must have a minimum 2% fall to the new septic tank. A new, 1500-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank must be installed. Elevation of this septic tank must be determined by the existing sewer lines in advance of preparing the excavation for the septic tank. Risers must be installed to bring manhole access to grade. An Orenco® Biotube Effluent filter must be installed on the outlet tee of the septic tank. A new, 4-inch diameter SDR-35 sewer line will exit the septic tank and connect to the existing sewer line that serves the existing STA. At the time of the septic tank replacement, approximately 100 gallons of water (10 minutes on full flow) should be run through a garden hose into the existing STA to assure it is accepting effluent properly. 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. 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. If an effluent filter or screen has been installed in the OWTS, we recommend this filter or screen be cleaned annually, or as needed. 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 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, Page 3 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. 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. Please call with questions.

The legal description of the 2.0-acre property is Lot 3, Dreager Subdivision. The record drawing and permit (enclosed) was provided by Eagle County Environmental Health Department. The subject OWTS consists of one 1250-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank (installed in 1986) followed by a 1000-gallon, two-compartment poly septic tank (installed in 1995). Effluent gravity flows to a soil treatment area (STA) with 66 Biodiffuser chambers in a bed configuration (also installed in 1995). Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit 739 documents the original septic tank and received final approval in June 1986 and Permit 1526 documents the additional septic tank capacity and new STA and received final approval on September 7, 1995. The 1250-gallon, concrete septic tank is located on the north side of the residence, with access on both sides of an existing concrete walkway. Access ports are small square openings at each end of the septic tank. This septic tank was installed in 1986. The inlet tee was angled oddly. We turned water on in the house and observed flow through the septic tank. Liquid levels in the septic tank and flow through the septic tank appeared normal. There was limited access to the poly septic tank installed in 1995. This particular type of septic tank has one 6-inch diameter pipe for access located over the mid-tank baffle. At the time of our first inspection, we observed low levels in this septic tank. We returned on September 15 with laborers to dig to the top of the septic tank. We found the top of the tank to be slightly collapsed making removal of the lid difficult. In an effort not to break the lid removing it, the current property owners contracted with RotoRooter and on September 18 they removed the lid. We observed low levels in the septic tank. Liquid level in the tank were 3’4” from the water level to the top of the tank. In addition to the top of the septic tank being slightly collapsed, the baffle was distorted and no longer creates good separation between the inlet and outlet chambers of the septic tank. We photographed the inside of the septic tank and found evidence of past water levels. The septic tanks were reported to have been pumped in September 2017 and occupancy of the house since that time was limited. RotoRooter’s pumping invoice reflects pumping 1500 gallons, which is inconsistent with the tank capacity documented in the county records. If there is a desire to check water-tightness of the poly septic tank, we recommend filling the tank to the level of the outlet tee. Once filled, the level should be re-checked every few days to see if the level drops. If the level drops, the septic tank is not water tight. While the issue of water-tightness was not able to be verified at the time of our inspections and is in question, the septic tank is in poor condition. No inspection ports were observed in the STA. We walked the STA and found no evidence of surface saturation or evidence of failure at the time of the inspection. The STA is located in a yard area. With the poly septic tank verified to be in poor condition and questionable as to whether it is water-tight, we recommend replacing this septic tank. While the original concrete septic tank is in working order, it is aging. We recommend abandoning both septic tanks and replacing them with one 1500-gallon, two-compartment septic tank. It can be either concrete or plastic. Enclosed are specifications of septic tanks that may be utilized. Eagle County requires permitting of the septic tank replacement through Eagle County Environmental Health Department and also requires the work be conducted by a Licensed Systems Contractor. We recommend the STA be dosed with at least 100 gallons of water to assure it is accepting effluent properly. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. Disclaimer: This inspection is intended only as an evaluation of the present condition of the OWTS based upon what was observed and the Licensed Inspector’s expertise in onsite wastewater technology. The Inspector has not been retained to warrant or guarantee the proper functioning of the system for any period of time in the future. Because of numerous factors which may affect the operation of an OWTS, as well as the inability of the Inspector to supervise or monitor the use or maintenance of this OWTS, this report shall not be construed as a warranty by the Inspector that the system will function properly for any particular prospective buyer, and the Inspector disclaims any warranty, either expressed or implied, arising from the inspection of the OWTS or this report. The evaluation does not ascertain the impact the system is having on groundwater. Please call with questions.
