Re: Mountain West Tree Farm, 24825 State Highway 82, Pitkin County, CO
HCE File Number 98004.11
Dear Ms. MacKenzie:
On June 2, 1998 HCE personnel observed the construction of the replacement ISDS located at
24825 State Highway 82, in Pitkin County. All of the components of the system had been
installed, but no backfilling had taken place. The installation of the system was in conformance
with the intent of the design, however, the type of absorption bed was changed from Infiltrator
units to a standard gravel bed.
We have enclosed a copy of a revised drawing showing record conditions, as requested by the
county.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please contact us.
Sincerely,

6-3-98 Final inspection completed on new septic system which replaced existing system
due to expansion of Highway 82:
84' of sewer line with adequate fall from dwelling to the first septic tank
double clean -outs installed outside building to facilitate unplugging line in both
directions
two, 1500 -gallon concrete septic tanks without baffles were level with inlet
and outlet T's in place
baffled, distribution box was level & fed 5 lines to a pipe & gravel bed
pipe & gravel bed measured 36' x 80' sidewall to sidewall with 5 rows of
perforated pipe that looped at the ends (2,880 sq.ft.)
Mirafi fabric was being placed over the gravel & than soil will be backfilled over
bed
inspection pipes in place
risers and manhole covers in place
The engineer, Tim Beck, had originally designed and specified 105 gravelless chambers
in 7 trenches. According to Steve of Rudd Construction, Tim approved the modification
in the leach field design and inspected the system 6-2-98.
The existing septic system must be decommissioned. The septic tank must be pumped &
then either filled with dirt, crushed, or crushed and taken to the landfill. It is this
Department's understanding that the leach field will be removed to the landfill.
The engineer must submit to this Department a revised drawing to reflect the changes that
were made to the leach field.

Subject: Soils Evaluation and Percolation Tests for Replacement Individual Sewage for the
Commercial Parcel Buildings of Parcels of Land situated in Tracts 55 and 64, Sections 17, 20, and
21, Township 8 South, Range 86 West of the 6th P.M., numbered as 24825 Highway 82
Dear Ed and Cherie,
As requested, Nelson Environmental and Wastewater Solutions, Ltd., has performed a soils study
and percolation testing in order to design a replacement septic system for the existing residential
and office buildings at the subject site. We conducted this study according to Article 5 of the
Pitkin County Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulation ation on Thursday, April 16, 1998. We
have based our recommendations on the subsurface conditions encountered at that time. Along
with your engineer's plans for the design of the onsite wastewater system, please furnish the
attached permit application and related information, this letter and a copy of the enclosed data
sheets to the Aspen/Pitkin Environmental Health Department in order to obtain a permit to
construct this individual sewage system.
Existing Commercial Parcel Construction and Site:
The 4.423 -acre part of these tracts is proposed to be split and become a separate commercial
property. Currently this parcel has five buildings on it. The greenhouse, open stable, and frame
garage are not habitable. As you have shown us, there are three employee dwelling units with a
total of six bedrooms in the front of the shop building. In addition, in the two-story open
storage/frame office building to the east side of the property, there is another upstairs dwelling
unit and the first floor office with a bathroom used by 3 or 4 employees during a regular eight
hour workday.
As we understand, the existing septic system for these buildings will need to be removed from the
right-of-way when Highway 82 is soon widened in this area. A new system is required. To
conform to current requirements we have assumed the following wastewater flows from the
existing employee dwelling units and the office.

2) 4 office employees for 8 hour shift =

1200 gallons 2100 gallons
60 gallons 105 gallons ✓
It is our interpretation that to reconstruct the current system to minimum Pitkin County
Regulations with the percolation rate already measured would require a septic tank volume of
2757 gallons and 2300 square feet of standard gravel seepage bed. Use of the gravelless leaching

chambers could reduce the excavated bottom area of the bed 30% to 1604 square feet. It
certainly appears possible to provide a replacement system in the area available on the property.
Existing Onsite Sewage System:
A conventional 1250 -gallon septic tank and an 864 square foot seepage bed constructed in 1976
currently serve this part of the property. The seepage bed is partly located under the berm and
close to the South property line. We have previously furnished you with a copy of the County
septic permit for these buildings, which includes a rough as -built drawing of the current septic
system placement.
Subsurface Conditions:
A soil profile pit, excavated earlier by either the geotechnical engineers or the Colorado
Department of Transpiration, within the area considered suitable for an additional on-site
wastewater disposal system absorption field, was dug to a depth of approximately ten feet. As we
understand and believe, this excavation revealed that no groundwater or solid bedrock
encountered to that depth. The first few inches of the percolation test excavations revealed a thin
layer of topsoil. At depths below the topsoil and to a depth of four feet, the subsoil consisted of a
red fine sandy to silty loam and a few small, fractured sandstone fragments, the final twelve to
sixteen inches of the subsoil was a lighter reddish sandy and gravely loam with a few loose cobble
fragments below a depth of four feet in the excavations.
Percolation Testin¢:
The subsurface soil conditions were reevaluated with the standard percolation test procedures at
the approximate location shown on Figure 1. The test holes were excavated to a depth
anticipating the installation of a level Infiltratorrm seepage and were dug to four and one-half to
five feet, approximately the same elevation as the bottom of the proposed replacement absorption
area.
The test holes were prepared by hand -digging a twelve -inch diameter hole to a depth of sixteen
inches in the bottom, of three backhoe pits excavated to a depth of four feet. Three inches of
gravel were placed in each test hole after all loose soil had been removed and the test hole
sidewalls roughened. The test hole preparation avoided smearing the soil surfaces and removed
loose cobble in the sidewall and bottoms of the holes.

The percolation holes were pre-soaked by adding water to a depth of fourteen inches above the
gravel layer the morning before the test measurements were performed and at regular intervals
throughout the day. Water was added every hour or two for eight hours during the day before
the percolation test measurements were done.
The results of the percolation testing are presented in Table I. These results indicate the sandy
clay loam soils had an average percolation rate of 27 minutes per inch. Soils with percolation
rates in this range are considered suitable and are acceptable for a conventional infiltration design
for the replacement on-site sewage system.
Limitations: This report has been prepared according to information supplied by the property
owner and the generally accepted practices in this area used for sewage disposal design purposes.
The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon data obtained from
our site visits at the location indicated. There is some possibility that the nature and extent of
variations in the subsurface soils across the site may not have been evident at the time of this
investigation, and may need additional evaluation, if further excavation reveals conditions
different from those described. This office should be advised of any unusual situations as soon as
possible so that we may reevaluate our recommendations.
If you have questions or if we may be of further assistance, please call the office.
Sincerely, l
