Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit Inspection
50 E. River Ranch Road (Main House)
Pitkin County, Colorado
Chris,
As requested, CBO Inc. performed an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit
inspection at 50 E. River Ranch Road, Snowmass, Colorado (Main House) on January 16, 2020.
Previous inspections were conducted by our office on June 17, 2013 and October 14, 2014. The legal
description of the 56.35-acre property is as follows:
Subdivision: M/B LOWER RIVER ROAD Tract: 70&71 Quarter: SW Section: 23 Township: 8 Range: 86
PARCEL LOCATED IN SEC 23 & 26-8-86 BGNNG AT AP1 OF TR 71 THEN S 00 DE 08'06"W 2784.29
FT ALNG LINE 1-8 OF TR 71 PROJECTED SLY TH N 74 DEG 25'43"W 960.00 FT TH N 2523.42 FT TO
LINE 1-2 OF TR 71 TH N 89 DEG 48'20"E 931.35 FT ALNG LINE 1-2 TO POB
The permit and record drawing were provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel
ID # 2467-261-00-009). The subject OWTS consists of one 2000-gallon, single-compartment septic
tank followed by one 1500-gallon, two-compartment septic tank with a pump in the second
compartment. Effluent gravity flows to a distribution box and then to four gravelless chamber
trenches, each with 14 ‘Standard’ Infiltrator® chambers, for a total of 56 chambers and 1050 square
feet of infiltrative area. Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit 98079 documents this system.
The system was sized to accommodate 4 bedrooms. The permit received final approval on
February 18, 2000.
The septic tanks are located to the southwest of the main residence. The inlet tee was present on
the first tank. It was clogged and the clog was removed at the time of our inspection. There was no
access to the 2nd manhole lid on the single compartment tank. There was no tee on the inlet of the
second tank, and a pump was present in the second compartment of the second tank. The floats
for the pump (both pump and alarm) were too deep to activate manually (7.5-feet of risers to
tank). Levels in the tank indicate the pump was functioning normally. The alarm for the pump is
located in the mechanical room in the main house, below the main circuit breaker boxes. We tested
the alarm and found it was operational. It should be noted that work was done on the pumping
system in 2013 and B&R Septic reported doing additional work in 2016. We speculate this could be
a result of the way the pumping system is wired or the result of an aging system. We recommend
upgrading the pumping system. We recommend Valley Precast out of Buena Vista for pump
service.
The distribution box was not accessible from grade; therefore, this component could not be
inspected. Inspection ports were present in the soil treatment area (STA), which is in an open field
area to the west. There was significant snow cover over the STA at the time of our inspection. The
STA showed no sign of surface saturation and had no indication of failure. It is our understanding
that livestock have previously grazed in the open field with the STA. We do not recommend heavy
livestock over the STA.
Recommendations:
• Upgrade pumping system.
• Locate distribution and bring access to grade for future monitoring and inspection.
• Do not graze heavy livestock over STA.
A completed OWTS Use Permit Application must be submitted to the Pitkin County Environmental
Health Department. Applications must be submitted to Pitkin County Environmental Health Department
electronically. The following is the link to the required OWTS Use Permit Application:
https://pitkincounty.com/FormCenter/Environmental-Health-18/Property-SaleRemodel-Use-Permit-Applicat-
70
Within the application, you must attach the Inspection Form where “Pitkin County Inspection Form” is
requested, the OWTS Inspection Packet where “Site Plan” is requested, and Floor Plans where “Floor Plans”
are requested. Floor plans may be hand drawn and must represent number of bedrooms or potential
bedrooms in the residence.
All questions regarding permit submission can be directed to Pitkin County Environmental Health
Department, 970-920-5070.
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.
Sincerely,
Carla Ostberg, MPH, REHS
