Sopris Creek Road (Barn/Caretaker Dwelling Unit) Pitkin County, Colorado Dean, As requested, CBO Inc. performed an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit inspection at 1076 E. Sopris Creek Road (Barn/Caretaker Dwelling Unit), Colorado July 5, 2016. The legal description of the 2.0 -acre property is Section: 13 Township: 8 Range: 87 a tract within Sec 13-2-87 & being part of Tract 69 8-87 Des by M/B BK 259 PG 43 BK 258 PG 339 Cont 2.0 AC M/L. The permit and record drawing was provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel ID #2465-134-00-022). The subject OWTS consists of one 1000 -gallon, single -compartment "GJ" concrete septic tank and a 12' x 50' pipe and gravel soil treatment area (STA). Aspen/ Pitkin Environmental Health Department Permit Number 80064 documents the OWTS. The system was sized to accommodate 1 bedroom. There is a clean out outside of the Barn/Caretaker Dwelling Unit. The septic tank is located east of the Barn/Caretaker Dwelling Unit. The septic tank has manhole openings over the inlet side of the tank and the middle of the tank. There are built-in concrete baffles on both the inlet and outlet of the septic tank. There is no mid -tank baffle; however, it appears to be the original septic tank, consistent with the permit and record drawing provided by Pitkin County. We recommend replacement of the septic tank with a minimum 1000 -gallon, two-compartment septic tank with an effluent filter on the outlet tee. This is not required in order to obtain an OWTS Use Permit, but a two-compartment septic tank would be beneficial to the long-term functioning of the OWTS. At the time of our inspection, the septic tank had been partially pumped B&R Septic. Their truck was full and pumping had to stop. They are scheduled to complete pumping in the near future. During the inspection, water was flowing into the septic tank. This could be a result of a leaky fixture. We recommend inspecting all fixtures in the house to correct any leaky fixture. Effluent gravity flows from the septic tank to a 12'x 50' pipe and gravel STA, which begins approximately 10' from the septic tank. At the time of our inspection, there was no evidence of surface saturation or evidence of failure. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for one year. Recommendations: • Replace the existing single -compartment septic tank with a minimum 1000 -gallon, two- compartment septic tank with an effluent filter on the outlet tee. • Inspect all fixtures in the house to assure there are no leaky fixtures, including toilets. 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: http://www.pitkincounty.com/DocumentCenter/HomeNiew/621 Application Checklist: http://www.pitkincounty.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.
