The permits and drawings associated with this property were provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel ID # 2643-213-04-006). The subject OWTS consists of one 1500 -gallon, two-compartment Copeland concrete septic tank and a 75' x 33' engineered sand filter (ETA) bed. The original system was installed in 1989 and in 1997 the system was experiencing some problems. Another permit was obtained for the repairs which consisted of pumping the septic tank, investigating the condition of the absorption area, and removing a filter wrap from the piping. All associated documentation is attached. The septic tank appeared to be in good condition. Both inlet and outlet tees were present. The septic tank had recently been pumped by B&R Septic (August, 2013). The absorption area showed no signs of saturation, and had no indication of failure. Observation ports/ vents were present. Caps for the vents were not present. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for one year. Recommendations: • We recommend installing an effluent filter on the outlet tee; however, due to the placement of the tee not being accessible from the manhole lid, this would require an extension of the tee. • Install caps on vents. As these were intended to be vents and not simply observation ports, the caps should allow air to enter the field. We recommend a "candy cane" or "tee" shaped caps. This report should be submitted to the Pitkin County Environmental Health Department. The following links are the required application and application checklist.
