The permit and record drawing were provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel ID # 2729-203-05-030). Pitkin County's records note that the OWTS consists of one 1250 - gallon two-compartment septic tank and approximately 1600 square feet of pipe and gravel absorption area. You mentioned that you recall a 1500 -gallon, two-compartment tank being installed, in addition to RotoRooter's receipt dated 07/31/09 noting a 1500 -gallon tank. You also recall gravelless chamber units being installed rather than pipe and gravel. The tank capacity can be verified at the next pumping; however, aside from digging into the field, there is not an easy way to tell what media was used in the absorption area. It is not a detail that needs to be verified as part of this inspection. The septic tank appeared to be in good condition. The inlet pipe enters the tank at an odd angle, extending just below the edge of the manhole opening. The pipe is also quite close to the top of the tank, not allowing an easy retro -fit of a tee. Although the presence of an inlet tee is required, typically it is an easy retro -fit. In this case, the inlet pipe would need to be excavated (approximately 3 -feet in depth), a mature bush destroyed in the process, and the pipe re -aligned to enter at a different angle in order to install a tee. The extent of work necessary to accomplish the installation of a tee is not recommended as it may cause other problems with the system, will cause a great deal of disturbance in the yard area, and will likely be very costly. An outlet tee was present. Installation of an effluent filter on the outlet tee is recommended. Water inside the house was turned on and let run for approximately 10-minues. Despite the water level in the tank appearing high, it was appropriate given the elevation of the outlet. Water ran through the system normally. It was difficult to confirm the presence of a midtank baffle due to the high level of water in the tank. There was no accumulation of scum in either compartment of the septic tank and approximately 10 to 12 -inches of sludge accumulation in the first compartment and approximately 12 -inches of sludge in the second compartment of the septic tank. Pumping of the septic tank is recommended. The absorption area showed no signs of saturation, and had no indication of failure. Observation ports were not present. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for one year. This report should be submitted to the Pitkin County Environmental Health Department.
