Colorado Pam, As requested, CBO Inc. performed an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit inspection at 34 Eddie Lane, Basalt, Colorado on January 31. 2017. The legal description of the property is Lot 7, Unit 1, Hoaglund Ranch Historic Subdivision. Pitkin County Environmental Health Department has a variety of permits and drawings for Hoaglund Ranch-, however. those that we reviewed appeared to be inconsistent with what we found on the property (Parcel ID #2467-201-02-016). Hoaglund Ranch Homeowner's Association (HOA) manages the OWTSs serving residences within Hoaglund Ranch. Without drawings or past pumping invoices, we are not certain of the sizes of the septic tanks. but the subject OWTS consists of two concrete septic tanks and a soil treatment area (STA) of unknown size and configuration. The system serves multiple residences.' The septic tanks are located to the west of the subject residence and south of what appears to be an uninhabited historic barn. Four manhole lids are accessible from grade with 3 -feet of risers. We turned the water on from a sink in 34 Eddie Lane and let it run through the course of the inspection. We observed water coming into the first septic tank through a 6 -inch diameter tee. There was also a 4 -inch diameter tee entering the side of the septic tank. There was no tee on the pipe existing the first septic tank. We are not sure if these two tanks are connected in series. but are in close proximity to one another. The second septic tank has 4 -inch tees entering both the end and side of the tank. A 4 -inch outlet tee exits the end of the second septic tank. The Hoaglund Ranch HOA manages pumping operations and reported the last pumping of these septic tanks occurred in the Summer of 2016 by Kelly Gessle. Levels in both septic tanks were normal at the time of our inspection. There was snow cover at the time of our inspection. We observed an inspection port in the yard area to the southwest of the septic tanks. The inspection port was dry. We walked the approximate STA and found no evidence of surface saturation or failure at the time of our inspection. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for one year. Recommendations (HOA): • Work with whoever is managing and/or pumping the OWTSs to assure there is good documentation regarding which residences are served by each OWTS in the subdivision. • Install an outlet tee on the pipe existing the first septic tank serving 34 Eddie Lane. • Install effluent filters on all outlet tees. If installed. these filters must be cleaned annually. or as needed. Lot 1 is served by a separate OWTS Lots 3, 4, 5 and Lot 11 are served by separate OWTSs. This report and a completed OWTS Use Permit Application must be submitted to the Pitkin County Environmental Health Department. Applications may be submitted to Pitkin County Environmental Health Department electronically. The following are links to the required OWTS Use Permit Application and Checklist.

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.
