Adams and Company Real Estate P O. Box 6699 Snowmass Village, Colorado 81615 RE: 0110 Woody Creek Road, Pitkin County, Colorado — the Allende Residence Dear Tara and B. J., On September 8, 2001, this company conducted an inspection of the referenced property, owned by the Allendes, to evaluate the on-site wastewater system serving the dwellings. The inspection was done at your request. This letter is an opinion of the suitability and compliance of the septic system with local and State public health codes and accepted sanitary practices. The county sewage disposal system records for the residence and guest cottage show an onsite system of a 1000 -gallon concrete septic tank and a total of approximately 550 square feet of gravel seepage bed. The system should have been large enough to treat and dispose of a total normal domestic wastewater flow of about 600 gallons per day, expected to be the average daily flow generated from a single-farmly structure under the code in force at the time of initial construction. It is noted that the minimum distances to the well from the leach field are 100 feet and from the septic tank to the leach field is 50 feet. Both of these are barely met under the old code from 1973, but do not meet the requirements set in the 2001 Version regulation of the Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulation A check of Aspen/Pitkin County Environmental Health Department records indicates that the system was originally permitted and inspected by that department before it was placed into operation as a replacement system in 1974. A copy of the available permits is enclosed. We note several changes to the residences on the property over the years that may have a long- term impact on septic system requirements for the property. There were an additional two bedrooms and a kitchen constructed in the small art studio building, basically converting it to as second unit and increasing the flow to the septic tank leach field by an average of 300 gallons per day. This increase in existing occupancy means that the septic system capacity is exceeded. Any additions or modifications to the residences on the property will probably mean the Environmental Health Department will find that the existing system is not in compliance with the regulations and will require extensive and costly expansive modifications and changes to any onsite sewage disposal system. We question if the proposed addition of 2500 to 3500 square feet to the residence will allow for a larger system and if the property will be large enough to locate such an engineered onsite wastewater system. A visual inspection of the premises by this company indicates that the sewage system is apparently continuing to function at this time with a light occupancy and moderate wastewater flow to the J _ P.O.

There was no evidence of surfacing or back up from the sewage disposal area and the and the area of lawn over the septic tank disposal bed lawn was dry and there was no evidence of wastewater ponding. These conditions all point to a system that is currently functioning as designed. We wish to emphasize that this letter is not to be interpreted as implying any warranty regarding this sewage disposal system.
