The legal description of the 0.53 -acre property is Lot 1, Crystal River Estates. A request was made to Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel 1D #2649-291-01-011); however, no documents regarding this parcel were available. Pitkin County Assessor's website documents the residence as being built in 1974 (effective year built 1979) and having 3 bedrooms. No clean out was observed near the residence. The septic tank is located southeast of the residence. One manhole lid (outlet) was accessible at the time of our first inspection (June 15, 2016). Water levels in the septic tank were slightly below the outlet tee. The house had been vacant for approximately 1 year prior to recent occupancy. We requested water from the house be run into the septic tank. After approximately 5 minutes, the water level began to rise and stabilized at the proper level of the outlet tee, exiting the septic tank. The outlet tee appears to be 3 -inches in diameter rather than 4 -inches. We typically recommend installing an effluent filter on the outlet tee; however, in this case the tee would need to be replaced in order to install the effluent filter. Without a drawing of the OWTS, we are not certain of the exact location or size of the soil treatment area (STA). An area to the southeast of the septic tank is cleared and seems to be an obvious location for the STA. We walked the approximate STA and found no signs of surface saturation or evidence of failure. No inspection ports were observed. We returned to the property for a second inspection on June 22, 2015. The inlet side of the septic tank had been uncovered. The lid was very heavy and the handle was not completely attached to the lid, making lifting the lid very difficult. We were able to observe the inlet tee. Solids in the septic tank measured greater than 24 -inches on both the inlet and outlet side of the septic tank. Accumulation of solids warranted pumping of the septic tank. At the time of this inspection, the levels in the septic tank were normal. We walked the STA again, and found no evidence of surface saturation or signs of failure. On July 6, 2016, B&R Septic Services pumped the septic tank. They reported that the liquid level was normal prior to pumping, and that the side walls and bottom appeared to be in good condition with no root intrusion into the septic tank. We recommend adding risers to both sides of the septic tank to bring access to grade. The inlet side requires approximately 18 -inches and the outlet side could be left as -is; however, we recommend a 6 - inch riser. The lid on the inlet side MUST be replaced, and the lid on the outlet side may be replaced if a riser is added for proper fit. This work is being arranged, and may not be possible prior to closing. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for one year. This report and a completed application packet must be submitted to the Pitkin County Environmental Health Department. The following links are the required application and application checklist. Application: httn:llwww.oitkincounty.com/DocumentCenter/HomeNiew/621 Application Checklist: httr):ilwww.r)itkincounty.com/DocumentCenter/HomeNiew/620 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.
