System Records: Permit #: 720074 Date of Issuance: 10/12/73 Date of Final Approval: 10/12/73 # of Bedrooms or fixtures served by OWTS: This system was originally designed for 4 bedrooms Operational Status: According to the inspector observations that system was working properly at the time of inspection. The system originally had an aeration tank but it had been replaced with a regular 1250 gallon 2 compartment tank sometime in the past. This tank was in good condition but the inlet was tilted and an effluent filter was not installed at the outlet. Both of these deficiencies were corrected after the inspection. The tank was also pumped after the inspection per recommendation of the inspector. The field area appeared to working properly, no surfacing effluent or any other signs of failure were present. Inspector Recommendations: All recommendations were addressed after inspection. Department Recommendations: none 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 fail or that the system will not be subject to future enforcement action to correct non-compliant conditions. Estimated capacity of the system has been listed on the permit and we recommend that you monitor and/or meter water use to prevent overuse and possible failure. r 1i I N Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) Use Permit Inspection Form Pitkin County Environmental Health Department 76 Service Center Rd, Aspen, CO 81611 Phone: 970-920-5070 Fax: 970-920-5374 Website: www.aspenpitkin.com/ehnr Inspection form for continued use of an existing OWTS .1 .- Owner's Name: p ��yr �� ' Y '� Address: D5 t r ur,>F: An 110 0 1? 1(n , Parcel Number: Z(o4 p -- 2F-1 Inspection Date: l n(� f) i 2_ r Inspector's Name: ; Irt r Business Name: Phone Number�(� Email: Pitkin County Systems Inspector License Num`btr: A copy of this inspection report will be remitted to Pitkin County Environmental Health Department by the Licensed Systems Inspector within 60 days of the inspection regardless of whether the system passes or falls.

The as -built drawing was provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department. (Parcel ID # 2643-282-01-004). The existing septic tank does not appear to be the original tank described as a "Caultette Plant" on the 1972 permit. The subject OWTS consists of one 1250 -gallon septic tank and an absorption area, measuring approximately 10' x 80' according to the as -built. The septic tank appeared to be in good condition with both inlet and outlet tees present and visible from the manholes. Water was run in the house and was observed entering the septic tank. The absorption area showed no signs of saturation, and had no indication of failure. No observation ports were present in the absorption area. The inlet tee was tilted upward coming into the tank indicating settling of the sewer pipe outside of the tank which could lead to line breakage. It is recommended that this line be repaired. It is also recommended that an effluent filter be added to the outlet tee to prevent solids from migrating to the absorption area. Sludge and scum levels in the tank exceed 25% of the tank capacity; therefore, pumping of the tank is required prior to obtaining an OWTS Use Permit. A receipt from the tank pumping must be submitted, along with this report, to the Pitkin County Environmental Health Department. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for one year. The following links are the required application and application checklist.
