OWTS Use Status:
® In use at the time of the inspection. ❑Not in use at the time of the inspection.*
*If the OWTS was not in use at the time of the inspection, it is recommended that the system be re-evaluated when it is in use for a more accurate
evaluation of the system.

Permit #: 00055 Date of Issuance: 08/04/2000 Date of Final Approval: 10/06/2000
# of Bedrooms or fixtures permitted by OWTS: 3
Operational Status: The inspector verified the soil treatment area appears to be properly working and there is no sign of
failure. A new float for the pump was installed and the flow splitter basin was cracked and replaced with a distribution
box.
Inspector Recommendations: extend handle on effluent filter, bring inlet side risers to grade, install one additional riser
on outlet side for better accessibility, have an annual maintenance contract with a licensed service provider
Department Recommendations: have an annual maintenance contract with a licensed service provider, clean filter on a
regular basis. Due to the new commercial aspect of the facility and since the OWTS was designed for residential use,
the owner shall regularly sample effluent from the septic tank and have it tested by a certified lab. Sampling protocol
shall be outlined in a separate memo. Effluent shall be characterized to determine if it is appropriate to dispose of it
through the septic system or if strength of sewage is too high, an alternative disposal method for the waste irrigation
water will be required.
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.

Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit Inspection
11556 Hwy 133
Pitkin County, Colorado
Mr. Lewis,
As requested, CBO Inc. performed an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit
inspection at 11556 Hwy 133, Carbondale, Colorado on March 3, 2014.
The permit and record drawing was provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department
(Parcel ID # 2649-213-01-017). The subject OWTS consists of one 1250 -gallon, two-compartment
concrete septic tank with a pump vault in the second compartment. Effluent is pumped to a flow
splitter basin which then gravity flows to an 18 -foot by 46 -foot sand mound.
The 1250 -gallon septic tank, two-compartment septic tank appeared to be in good condition. The
inlet side of the septic tank was excavated and the tee was present. Risers will be installed for
access from grade. The outlet side of the tank was accessible from grade, although recessed. We
recommend bringing access closer to grade with an additional 1 -foot riser. The pump in the second
compartment was "chattering" and only kicking on for a very short period of time. After some trouble
shooting, it was determined that the middle float may be faulty. The float was ordered from Valley
Precast and will be installed upon arrival. The alarm was found to be functional. The control panel
is located immediately adjacent to the septic tank.
Solids in the septic tank necessitated pumping. B&R Septic pumped the septic tank on March 4,
2014. During pumping, the filter was found to be severely clogged and was cleaned thoroughly.
The clogged filter could also have caused the pump "chatter'. The pumpers also observed some
root intrusion near the inlet tee.
The pump was run on manual and effluent was observed running into the flow splitter basin.
However, the water level in the basin never reached the pipes. A substantial crack was discovered
in the flow splitter basin. This was replaced with a small distribution box and plumbed.
The absorption area showed no signs of saturation, and had no indication of failure. No observation
ports were visible at the time of the inspection. There was a small amount of snow cover over the
absorption area at the time of the inspection. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system
performance. This inspection is good for one year.
The use of the property has changed from a single-family residence to Special Purpose —
Improvement, according to Pitkin County Assessor's website. There are currently two employees
working in the structure. Fixtures include one bathroom with a toilet, hand sink, and shower. There
k
are also two utility sinks. Plants are grown in the structure and discharge pipes for irritation water
currently are plumbed into the OWTS. Discharge of irrigation has been reported as 41.2 gallons per
day. Nutrient salt runoff from irrigation is approximately 751.46 liters (L) per month. Daily
concentrations of fertilizer compounds are as follows:
• Chloride: 8.75 milliliters per liter (ml/L)
• Nitrate: 38.15 ml/L
• Ammonium: 0.28 ml/L
• Phosphorous: 43.4 ml/L
• Calcium: 31.5 ml/L
• Magnesium: 17.5 ml/L
• Potassium: 73.5 ml/L
• Iron: 0.26 ml/L
Recommendations:
• Extend handle on effluent filter for better accessibility for cleaning.
• Replace middle float.
• Bring inlet side risers to grade.
• Install one additional riser on outlet side for better accessibility.
• An annual operation and maintenance visit should be conducted by a qualified professional,
at which time sludge and scum levels in the tanks are measured to see if pumping is
necessary, filters cleaned, and pumps and alarms tested for proper functioning.
This report should be submitted to the Pitkin County Environmental Health Department. The
following links are the required application and application checklist.

Dear Nancy:
Pursuant to County Regulations, this letter and attached drawing provides documentation that the new
ISDS system recently installed is in general compliance with the permitted design. Sopris Engineering has
performed two site visits to measure and document the as built conditions of the constructed system. The
as built size and relative location of the new ISDS system is delineated on the attached drawing.
The mounded absorption field was constructed at the proposed relative elevations delineated on the site
plan. The bed was installed level. Appropriate grading around the mound is complete with slopes to
existing grades less than 3:1. The pump assembly and distribution box has been installed according to the
engineered design plans..
The filter/treatment media, distribution pipes, and installation are in accordance with Pitkin County
Regulations, the design presented in the Sopris Engineering Report dated August 4, 2000 and the design
drawing dated August 4, 2000. Attached is an as -built drawing dated 9/21/00.

if no as -built drawings exist for this system or the as -built was inaccurate, please diagram the system as
accurately as possible. Be sure to document all system components and the location of any well on the
property. Using markers such as corners of the house, exact measurements can be used to triangulate
the location of the system components for future reference.

Hi Carla:
The following is a summary of the water discharge and related nutrient concentrations for ONLY the irrigation
component of the property. We have estimates for domestic uses as well, but I assume you use your own
calculations for that.
1. Fresh water used per month (average): 3,617.42L
2. Nutrient salt runoff from irrigation per month: 751.46L
3. Discharge of irrigation specific water to the septic system: 41.2 gallons per day.
4. The average daily concentration of the fertilizer compounds areas follows:
o Chloride:8.75mi/L
c Nitrate:38.15m1/L
c Ammonium:.28ml/L
a Phosphorus:43.4ml/L
a Calcium:31.5ml/L
o Magnesium:17.5ml/L
o Potassium:73.5ml/L
c Iron: .26ml/L
Please review and let me know what questions you have. I have copied Adam Phillips on this email. He is the operator
at the farm and wiI I be meeting you today at the property.
Thanks,
Adam
