Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit Inspection
2661 Juniper Hill Road
Pitkin County, Colorado
Stephanie,
As requested, CBO Inc. performed an Onsite W astewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit
inspection at 2661 Juniper Hill Road, Aspen, Colorado on October 24, 2017. The legal description of the
3.2-acre property is Lot 16, Block 7, Filing 1, Brush Creek Village.
The permit and record drawing were provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel
ID #2643-204-06-003). The subject OWTS consists of one 3000-gallon, two-compartment septic tank
with two AX-20 AdvanTex® pods. Effluent gravity flows to a two gravelless chamber beds connected
serially. One bed has six rows of 10 ‘Standard’ Infiltrator® chambers and the other has 8 rows of 8
chambers, with the exception of three rows which have only 7 chambers. Individual Sewage Disposal
System Permit 02089 documents this system. The system was sized to accommodate 4 bedrooms in
the main house and 1-bedroom in the ADU. The permit received final approval on August 5, 1999.
The septic tank is to the north of the residence. The manhole lids on the septic tank are accessible from
grade. The control panel is located within line of sight of the septic tank. The inlet tee is present in the
inlet side of the septic tank and the recirculation pump and effluent filter are present in the outlet side of
the septic tank.
It was evident the system is in need of cleaning. There was an excessive buildup of solids on the effluent
filter, making removal difficult. The pods were difficult to open due to extreme saturation of the insulation.
The AX-20 pods also have an accumulation of sludge on the top of the sheets. The system must be
cleaned by a qualified maintenance provider. We recommend Valley Precast out of Buena Vista
(valleyprescast.com / 719-395-6764). The septic tank must also be pumped.
The floats on the recirculation pump will be checked at the time maintenance is provided. Additional
repairs may be recommended at the time of maintenance and cleaning.
Effluent from the AdvanTex® system gravity flows to two gravelless chamber beds connected serially.
Inspection ports were visible and all were dry at the time of our inspection. All ports were missing caps.
We recommend slip on caps be added to the inspection ports and these ports may be cut lower, if
desired by the owner. We walked the soil treatment area (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.
Required Repairs:
• The system must be cleaned by a qualified maintenance provider. We recommend Valley
Precast out of Buena Vista (valleyprescast.com / 719-395-6764).
• Pump septic tank.
• Secure a maintenance contract with a qualified maintenance provider for long term maintenance.
This contract must be submitted to Pitkin County Environmental Health Department.
Recommendations:
• Add slip on caps to all inspection ports.
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.

Application Checklist: http://www.pitkincounty.com/DocumentCenter/Home/View/620
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

Minimum Septic tank capacity 2079 gallons Minimum Absorption area 2576 sq ft
Septic permit approved per compliance with the engineer design and specifications dated October 18, 2002" Any
changes must be approved by this department and the design engineer P EL Or to them being made.
Minimum horizontal distances between components of the system and physical features shall conform to the Pitkin
County ISDS regulations. There must be a minimum setback of 20 feet from any part of the field to occupied
buildings. The setback from the tank to the well must be 50 feet minimum and the Meld to the well 100 feet
minimum. This distance was reduced from 153 feet because of the use of the Advantex system, which results in a
cleaner effluent.
;x
Installation of the system calls for one 25OOr gallon tank (with an effluent filter on the outlet) followed by the
Advantex system. The field will be made up of 3 beds (each 5x8) serial distribution. No part of the bed should be
buried deeper than 4 feet because of the presence of bedrock at 8.1 feet. The engineer has specified a 10-foot
separation between the beds.
This department does not endorse any brand of products. This permit must be kept on -site during installation.
