The legal description of the 0.23 -acre property is Lot 35, Crystal River Park. The permit and record drawing was provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel ID #2729-292-01-025). The subject OWTS consists of one 1500 -gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank with an effluent filter on the outlet tee. Effluent gravity flows to a 15' x 7' x 12' deep drywell. Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit 02018 documents this system. The system was sized to accommodate 3 bedrooms and the permit was finalized on August 16, 2002. We did not observe a clean out in the location noted on the as -built drawing provided by Pitkin County. The septic tank is located to the south of the residence, at the boundary of the yard and native grasses. The inlet side of the septic tank was accessible from grade, and the outlet side of the septic tank was uncovered and found to be 8 -inches below grade. We recommend adding a 6 -inch riser to the outlet side of the septic tank. The septic tank was pumped by B&R Septic at the time of the inspection. The effluent filter was cleaned at the time of pumping. Effluent gravity flows to a drywell, located east of the septic tank. There was no access to the drywell; therefore, the drywell was not able to be inspected. Photographs provided by Pitkin County indicate the drywell does not consist of manhole rings. There is only a pit with gravel and distribution piping on top, with the distribution piping located approximately 4 -feet below grade. There were no inspection ports visible at the time of the inspection, although there are indicated on the as -built drawing and in the photographs. There was no backflow into the septic tank at the time of pumping. We walked the approximate area of the drywell and there was no 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. Recommendations: Clean effluent filter annually, or as needed. Add 6 -inch riser to outlet side manhole lid. 14 k This report and a completed OTWS Use Permit Application packet must be submitted to the Pitkin County Environmental Health Department. The following links are the required application and application checklist. Application: http://www.pitkincounty.com/DocumentCenter/HomeNiew/621 Application Checklist: http://www.pitkincounty.com/DocumentCenter/HomeNiew/620 Disclaimer: 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.
