# of Bedrooms or fixtures served by OWTS: 4 bedrooms; The CO and original OWTS permit for the residence is for 3
bedrooms and an unfinished basement but in 2005 Pitkin EH issued a permit for 4 bedrooms. Due to the error by EH
staff, the use permit will be issued with the condition that the system will have to be updated to accommodate the
number of bedrooms when it is repaired or replaced.

Inspector Recommendations: Clean effluent filter as needed, monitor effluent level in soil treatment area, and locate
grey water system.
Department Recommendations: Clean effluent filter as needed, monitor effluent level in soil treatment area, and locate
grey water system.
Issuance of this OWTS Use Permit is based solely on the conditions observed and reported by the inspector to the Department on the date of the inspection(s) and
on Department records at the time of permitting. The Issuance of this permit does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or representation by the Department
that the system will operate properly or will not jail or that the system will not be subject to future enforcement action to correct non-compliant conditions.

Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit Inspection
1020 Snowmass Creek Road
Pitkin County, Colorado
Mr. Bramson,
As requested, CBO Inc. performed an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit
inspection at 1020 Snowmass Creek Road, Snowmass, Colorado on July 28, August 11, and August
14, 2014.
The permit and record drawing was provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department
(Parcel ID #2467-341-00-005). According to Pitkin County's records, the subject OWTS consists of
one 2000 -gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank followed by an absorption area with 360
square feet of SB2 piping. The documentation provided by Pitkin County also notes a "gray water"
system with a "metal tank" and an additional 360 square feet of SB2 piping. Individual Sewage
Disposal Permit No. 88045 documents the original system(s) and Permit 05003 documents the 2005
septic tank replacement.
Fixtures in the residence were run to see which entered the 2005 septic tank. The only fixtures that
did not appear to be connected to the 2005 septic tank were the washing machine, laundry room
utility sink, and downstairs bathtub. On August 11, 2014, B&R Septic personnel came to the
property and attempted to locate the "metal" septic tank with a metal detector. These attempts were
unsuccessful. On August 13, 2014, B&R Septic personnel again came to the property to try to run a
camera through the laundry room plumbing in an attempt to locate the "gray water" septic tank. The
washing machine trap prohibited entry into the sewer line, and there was a tee entering the sewer
line from the laundry room utility sink which did not allow the camera to be run through the sewer
line. B&R Septic personnel felt all fixtures downstairs were tied together based on sound through
the piping when fixtures were running; however, the downstairs kitchen sink is tied to the 2005 septic
tank as Flow entered the tank when it was turned on.
Additional efforts to locate this septic tank were not attempted. Wastewater from the residence
entering this "gray water" system should only be from the laundry room and downstairs bathtub.
"Gray water" does not typically carry pathogens and viruses normally present in "black water", or
wastewater that comes from toilets. There are metal stakes located above the driveway in a location
that is consistent with the Pitkin County drawing of the "metal tank". Given that metal detector was
not able to locate this tank, and the fact that the other original septic tank on the property (replaced
in 2005) was plastic, we believe this tank may be plastic. Digging in this area may result in location
of the tank. The other alternative would be to cut the sewer line leading from the laundry room utility
sink to allow access for a camera.

Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit Inspection
1020 Snowmass Creek Road
Pitkin County, Colorado
Mr. Bramson,

The 2005 septic tank is located to the west of the residence, below the driveway. The septic tank
manhole lids were accessible from grade. Both inlet and outlet tees were present. The outlet tee
has an effluent filter that must be cleaned annually, or as needed. The septic tank was
pumped by Excavation Services on August 7, 2014. Pumping records indicate 1500 -gallons were
pumped, which is inconsistent with Pitkin County records. However, 1500 -gallons of capacity are
sufficient to serve a 4 -bedroom residence.
Inspection ports are present in the absorption area. Three inspection ports were observed during
the inspection. The lowest port was dry, but water was present in the S132 pipes of the other two
trenches. If the Pitkin County drawing is accurate, we believe the upper trench and another trench
not visible from an inspection port belong to the "gray water" system and the lower trenches come
from the 2005 septic tank.
Despite the presence of water in two of the S132 pipe trenches, the absorption area showed no signs
of surface saturation. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This
inspection is good for one year.
Recommendations:
• Clean effluent filter annually, or as needed.
• Continue to monitor water levels in SB2 pipes.
• Locate "gray water" septic tank.
This report, along with the receipt from pumping, should be submitted to the Pitkin County
Environmental Health Department. The following links are the required application and application
checklist.
