The legal description of the 0.36-acre property is Lot 51, Holland Hills at Basalt Subdivision. The permit and record drawing were provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel ID #2467-174-10-028). The subject OWTS consists of one 1000-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank. Effluent gravity flows to a 23’ x 35’ pipe and gravel soil treatment area (STA) with 2-feet of gravel under the perforated pipe. Pitkin County Health Department Permit Number 79028 documents this system. The system was sized to accommodate 3 bedrooms and a note on the permit indicates a reduction was allowed for no garbage disposal and 3.5 gallon/flush toilets. The permit received final approval on May 18, 1983. We conducted this inspection on behalf of the buyer; however, instructions are provided on how to make application to Pitkin County for the required OWTS Use Permit. Permits are typically issued to the CURRENT OWNER, prior to the property transfer. The septic tank is located to the west of the residence. No clean out was observed between the house and the septic tank. Both septic tank lids were accessible from grade at the time of our inspection. One foot of risers bring the lids to grade. We photographed inside of the septic tank and no inlet tee is present. However, it appears the material of the pipe is cast iron and cut very close to the side of the septic tank, making a repair to the inlet tee impossible without replacing the sewer line entering the septic tank. A PVC outlet tee was present. Given the position of the tee, it is not possible to install an effluent filter without extending the pipe. Cast iron pipe was typical for a late 1970s/ early 1980s installation and is prone to clogging and deterioration over time. We recommend utilizing a camera to explore the sewer line from the house and the septic tank. If the pipe is found to be in poor condition, replacement should be considered. At that time, we recommend an inlet tee be installed. We also recommend exploring the sewer line from the septic tank to the STA to verify material and condition of the line, in addition to determining the beginning of the STA and depth. Liquid levels in the septic tank were normal at the time of our inspection. We measured solids in the septic tank and found 1” of scum and 24” of sludge (not dense) on the inlet side of the tank and no scum and 12” of sludge (more dense) on the outlet side of the septic tank. We recommend pumping this septic tank as part of routine maintenance. Effluent from the septic tank gravity flows to a 23’ x 35’ pipe and gravel STA. No inspection ports were observed at the time of our inspection. There was a small amount of snow cover present. We walked the approximate STA, to the west of the driveway and found no evidence of surface saturation or failure at the time of our inspection. We have been asked to comment on future OWTS replacement. Given the small amount of area available, it is most likely that a new septic tank and STA would need to go in the same location as the existing septic tank and STA. Technologies such as pumping and replacement of native soils with sand filter media can reduce the footprint of an STA. Native soils in the Holland Hills area are typically good for STAs (Soil Type 2). This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for one year. Recommendations: • Camera sewer lines from house to tank and tank to STA. • Pump septic tank. 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 Inspector has not been retained to warrant or guarantee the proper functioning of the system for any period of time in the future.

Not in use at the time of the inspection.* *If the OWTS was not in use at the time of the inspection, it is recommended that the system be re-evaluated when it is in use for a more accurate evaluation of the system. System Records: Permit #: 79028 Date of Issuance: 7/3/79 Date of Final Approval: 5/18/83 # of Bedrooms or fixtures served by OWTS: This system was designed to serve 3 bedrooms. Operational Status: According to the inspector’s observations on site during the inspection the system appeared to be functioning as designed. Due to the cast iron line from the house to the tank, a missing inlet tee was not able to be installed. The tank was in watertight condition and outlet tee was present. The field area did not show signs for failure. Inspector Recommendations: if cast iron sewer line is replaced, add inlet tee to tank, pump septic tank in the near future. Camera sewer lines between home and tank and tank and field to assess conditions. Department Recommendations: N/A Issuance of this OWTS Use Permit is based solely on the conditions observed and reported by the inspector to the Department on the date of the inspection(s) and on Department records at the time of permitting. The issuance of this permit does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or representation by the Department that the system will operate properly or will not fail or that the system will not be subject to future enforcement action to correct non-compliant conditions. Estimated capacity of the system has been listed on the permit and we recommend that you monitor and/or meter water use to prevent overuse and possible failure.
