June 26, 2016 Lani Webb The Mercury Alliance lani themercuryalliance.com Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit Inspection 26501 Frying Pan Road Pitkin County, Colorado Lani, As requested, CBO Inc. performed an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit inspection at 26501 Frying Pan Road, Meredith, Colorado on June 22, 2016. The legal description of the 62 -acre property is listed on the enclosed Pitkin County Assessor's webpage. The permit and record drawing was provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel ID #2473-212-00-003). The subject OWTS consists of one 1500 -gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank followed by a 500 -gallon, single -compartment dosing chamber with two Fluid Dynamics Model 417 dosing siphons. Effluent is dosed to two separate STAs, each with 72 EQ 36 Infiltrator® chambers in a trench configuration. The STA is very large due to a slow documented percolation rate. The OWTS is documented by Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit 00068. The permit was finalized on October 28, 2002. The OWTS was sized to accommodate 3 bedrooms. The septic tanks are located south of the residence. A clean out is located between the residence and the first septic tank. The septic tanks were pumped at the time of the inspection by D&D Septic Services. All manhole lids were located within 8 -inches of grade. We recommend a 6 -inch riser be installed on the inlet side of the first septic tank. The inlet and outlet tees were both present. The outlet tee is located under the lid of the septic tank, making the addition of an effluent filter impossible without extending the tee. There was no water available at the property as it has been vacant for at least 2 years. The tests we commonly run to assure proper flow through the OWTS were not possible without access to water. We were able to pump effluent from the second compartment of the septic tank into the pumping chamber in order to activate the siphons. It was difficult to tell if both were activated simultaneously due to the positioning of the overflow pipe of one of the siphons. We were able to observe the water level going down when the chamber was filled to the point where the siphon(s) were activated. Effluent is dosed to two sets of gravelless chamber trenches. Inspection ports were present on the center of each row of chambers. All inspection ports were found to be dry. We walked the STA and there was no evidence of surface saturation and no evidence of failure at the time of the inspection.' This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for one year. ' It is important to note that the system has not been used for an extended period of time and conditions could change when usage of the system resumes.

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.
