As requested, ALL SERVICE septic, LLC performed an onsite wastewater system (OWS) evaluation for the subject property on March 27th 2008. The subject property is located outside of Aspen, Colorado. The property has several wood frame barns and cabins, and a single-family house. According to our site visit and to the best of our knowledge the following plumbing and OWS exist at the following structures: Historic Ranch Managers House — Septic tank and drain field (per letter March 24th 2008)' Historic Homestead Cabin - Septic tank and drain field (per letter March 24th 2008) Managers House — Found septic tank, and general drain field location per this report Historic Blacksmith Shop — Nothing found Historic Cow Barn — Nothing found Historic Bunk House and Chicken Coop — Nothing found Hay Barn — Nothing found Shelter — Nothing found Proposed 5 -bedroom Residence — Refer to OWS design prepared by All Service Septic. The existing managers house utilizes a metal septic tank and a drain field of unknown dimensions (pictures). The metal septic tank is in fair condition and appears to be holding liquid and directing liquid to the drain field. The manager's house is going to be demolished after construction of main house. 1-' Onsite Wastewater Systems Evaluation Pro No 1398 March 312008 Page 2 OBSERVATIONS The septic tank is located to the southwest of the residence and is accessible via an access port. The septic tank is metal. The septic tank has minor corrosion, although appears to be intact and is holding liquid. The septic tank is directing liquid to a drain field located to the south of the tank. There was snow cover at the time of our observation, although the general area of the drain field showed no signs of surfacing effluent, and had no indication of failure. RECOMMEDATIONS AND/OR CONCLUSIONS 1. Replace the existing metal septic tank, as indicated on Figure 1. Install appropriate tees and effluent filter. 2. The septic tank and effluent filter should be pumped and cleaned every three years, or as needed. Location of septic tank lid and drain field in distance for Managers House. Septic tank access and inlet pipe. Onsite Wastewater Systems Evaluation Pro No 1398 March 312008 Page 3 This evaluation is not a guarantee of any future drain field performance, in any way.

Pro No. 1398 7� Carla Ostberg From: Carla Ostberg Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 9:05 AM To: 'Tom Newland' Cc: 'tpetz 1 @comcast. net' Subject: more questions - 1954 Colorado Investment Company Page 1 of 1 Hi Tom, Sorry this one is presenting so many questions. ruaddition to not knowing which quality eval goes with which well, I don't see that the wells were labeled on the te map - SO, I will need you to indicate somehow which wells serve which structures to verify legal water rights. udging from the Balcomb and Green letter, Well #1 can serve 3 single family residences and Well #2 cannot be sed for domestic purposes (as I understand it.) This brings us to the evaluation of the existing system. Tim indicated in his March 20 letter that the single family house and cabin were served by a system that necessitated a tank replacement, which I can condition on the permit for the new house. However, it looks to me that there are more structures on the property than we have taken into consideration for both the water and existing system evaluation. I would like to have these outlined, if possible, in order to eliminate confusion. There is some urgency to getting this done because if I have to pass this along to Nancy when I go on leave, she will have to start from scratch and the review time is likely to take longer. From the site plan, I see...

I believe we have narrowed down the proposed house and cabin, but the question that comes to mind is which one of those listed above is the "single family house" mentioned in Tim's letter? The Historic Ranch Manager House or the Manager's House? Please call if you have questions.
