The legal description of the 1.0-acre property is Lot 1 (aka Tract 1), Seven Oaks Subdivision. The permit and record drawing was provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel ID #2463-341-01-001). The subject OWTS consists of one 1250-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank (fabricated on site). Effluent gravity flows to an 18’ x 40’ pipe and gravel soil treatment area (STA). Pitkin County Health Department Permit Number 80001 documents this system. The system was sized to accommodate 3 bedrooms. The permit received final approval on April 2, 1981. The septic tank is located to the west of the residence. We did not observe any cleanouts on between the house and the septic tank. The septic tank was fabricated on site when the property was developed, resulting in lids that are not a typical size and shape. We required new risers and lids be installed for better access and safety. The new risers and lids were installed after our inspection (photos below). Both inlet and outlet tees were present at the time of our inspection. The outlet tee is a 3-inch diameter sweeping tee. The septic tank was pumped by B&R Septic at the time of our inspection. There was a slight backflow of sludge from the outlet pipe during pumping, which may indicate an accumulation of sludge in the sewer line causing the septic tank to drain more slowly. The sweeping tee and/or accumulation of sludge in the sewer line may be contributing to the appearance of the slightly high liquid level condition in the septic tank. Additionally, it is noted on the sketch of the OWTS that the pipe entering and existing the septic tank is cast iron for 5-feet on either side. Cast iron is prone to clogging and deterioration. We recommend jetting the lines from the house to the septic tank and from the septic tank to the STA. We typically recommend adding an effluent filter on the outlet tee of the septic tank. Given that this pipe is 3-inches in diameter, installation of an effluent filter on the existing tee is not practical. Effluent from the septic tank gravity flows to an 18’ x 40’ pipe and gravel STA. We believe the STA to be located in the flat area of the road and shed below the septic tank. Ideally, the area over the STA would be covered with native grasses. We did not observe any inspection ports in the STA at the time of our inspection and therefore there is no way to gauge the condition of the STA. Drawings indicate the effluent line from the septic tank entering the approximate middle of the STA and 2 layers of 12 mil visqueen on the lower side of the STA to 5-feet below grade. We walked the approximate STA and found no evidence of surface saturation or failure at the time of our inspection. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for one year. Recommendations: • Jet sewer lines from house to tank and tank to STA. A portion of both sewer lines is cast iron. This report and a completed OWTS Use Permit Application must be submitted to the Pitkin County Environmental Health Department. Applications may be submitted to Pitkin County Environmental Health Department electronically. The following are links to the required OWTS Use Permit Application and Checklist.

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.
