Department Recommendations: N/A 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.

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. ova► ,Zo r�.Po�JV Pitkin County Environmental Health Department h I N Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) r USE PERMIT APPLICATION COltN7ti 76 Service Center Rd Aspen, CO 81611 http.lipitkincounty.mnV248/Wastewater-Treatment Anolication for Continued Use of an Existino C(WTS Parcel IDM (available from the Pitkin County Assessor's Office 970-9M5160crat http:l/phkinassessor.org/assessoci�arch.asp �� 't(J Purpose of Use Pemih: ® PROPERTY TRANSACTION ®REMODEL,/ Company: Property Address o t1j,I C� GL &O�i�� of 2-4 Block: � Filing Subtlivis n: �r^ 1 �p e&L , 1 1 V�y��/—".Yr Vl Residences: M of Bedrooms ( L� l Other fixtures/uses: Email Address' Indicate Preferred Method of Payment EffCheck OCradlilDebt Cash Property Owner(s)' U�au 6 Email Address: s-� ers wlai bout Owner's Mailing Address: Unt C' State Zi City, State, Zip: p Srllol( Home Phone: Business Phone: wnma nnarroarwn raasr oe wuwo o ror me owner signing mrs apprrcanon.

The legal description of the 2.15 -acre property is Lot 24, Block 2, Filing 2, Brush Creek Village Subdivision. The permit and record drawing was provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel ID #2643-204-03-003). The subject OWTS consists of one 1000 -gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank. A note on the record drawing indicates a dosing siphon was installed in 1987. Effluent is dosed to a lined evapo-transpiration (ET) bed. Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit 81053 documents this system. The system was sized to accommodate 3 bedrooms. The permit received final approval on April 28, 1982. As mentioned above, there is an additional note on the record drawing describing the addition of the dosing siphon in 1987. The septic tank is located to north of the residence. No clean out between the house and the septic tank was observed at the time of the inspection. The manhole lids on the septic tank were located approximately 1 -foot below grade. Risers and new lids must be added so access to the septic tank is accessible from grade. This work must be performed by a Pitkin County OWTS Licensed Contractor. Liquid levels in the septic tank appeared normal at the time of our inspection. B&R Septic pumped the septic tank in the summer of 2016. Concrete baffles are present at both the inlet and outlet sides of the septic tank, although the outlet concrete baffle is showing signs of deterioration. Pruitt's Rooter and Drain used a camera to verify the presence of the dosing tank. The dosing tank is located approximately 12 -feet from the outlet side of the septic tank (to the north) and 7 -feet below the surface (which included 1 -foot of snow cover). The dosing tank was not accessible for inspection, and excavation of the tank as this time is not feasible. A siphon functions on a prime, and is not powered by electricity. If the siphon is not dosing, it simply reverts to a trickle -mode. There was no indication of any blockage or issue that would not allow effluent to pass through the dosing tank to the soil treatment area (STA) at the time of our inspection. We recommend this tank be uncovered and the dosing siphon tested, if and when it is feasible to mobilize equipment in that area. We walked the clearing in the vegetation to the approximate location of the ET bed, which is east of the residence. There was over 1 -foot of snow cover at the time of our inspection in the area of the ET bed. We walked the area, but did not observe any vents or inspection ports that are noted on the record drawing. We 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. An addition to the house occurred in 2006, receiving proper county permits. At that time, it was not required that the OWTS be upgraded, although a bedroom was added, resulting in a total of 4 bedrooms. The OWTS was sized to accommodate only 3 -bedrooms; however, the system appears to be working properly with no signs of failure at the time of the inspection. Required Repairs: 1 -foot of risers and new lids must be added to bring septic tank access to grade. Recommendations: • Uncover dosing tank for inspection and check siphon for proper functioning. • Continue to monitor the condition of the concrete baffles in the septic tank that are showing signs of deterioration. This report, documentation of the required repairs, and a completed OVVTS 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 OWiS Use Permit Application and Checklist.

All questions regarding permit submission can be directed to Pitkin County Environmental Health Department, 970-920- 5070. 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.
