The legal description of the 5.0-acre property is Lot R-67, Starwood Ten, Starwood Subdivision. The permit and record drawing was provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel ID #2643-263-04-001). The subject OWTS consists of one 1250-gallon, two-compartment Norwesco® poly septic tank. Effluent gravity flows to a distribution box and then to two separate drywells (or seepage pits), described as 15’ x 15’ x 10’ deep below the inlet (five 2-foot high riser rings. Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit 89031 documents this system. The system was sized to accommodate 4 bedrooms. The permit received final approval on July 6, 1989. The septic tank is located west of the residence. There are clean outs located on the west side of the house and another on the south side of the house. The lid on the southern clean out is cracked and may be a source of odor. If so, this lid may be replaced. At the time of our first inspection, there was only access to the septic tank via a 6-inch diameter pipe. The septic tank is a Norwesco® poly septic tank with only one manhole access on the top of the septic tank. Given the depth of burial (approximately 4- feet) we were unable to view the condition of the septic tank and excavation was required. On December 28, 2017, the septic tank access was excavated by Tonka Excavation. At that time, we were able to view both the inlet and outlet sides of the septic tank, mid-tank baffle, and there was proper access for pumping. The septic tank was pumped by B&R Septic during this visit. We were able to see a partial collapse of the top of the septic tank; however, the rest of the tank was in good condition. The area of the collapse did not affect the ability of the septic tank to hold effluent at the time of our inspection. The baffle has been affected by the collapsed portion, but the tank is still able to separate solids/liquids in the septic tank. Tonka Excavation installed an inlet tee on the septic tank and added new, approximate 18-inch diameter risers to allow proper access for future monitoring and maintenance. They also excavated to the existing distribution box. We discovered that there was insufficient fall from the septic tank to the distribution box. The distribution box was set lower and replaced with a new, concrete box with a baffle. Flow equalizers were installed on the two outlets exiting the distribution box. Risers were added to the distribution box to bring access to grade. Proper fall was also verified from the distribution box to the two drywells (seepage pits). There was no access to the drywells (seepage pits) from grade. While repairing the distribution box elevation, Tonka Excavation did encounter the gravel in the southern-most drywell (seepage pit). There was no sign of saturation or effluent present in the gravel encountered. We also walked the approximate area of both drywells (seepage pits) at the time of our inspections and found no evidence of surface saturation or failure. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for one year. Repair Summary: • Installed inlet tee. • Pumped septic tank. • Six-inch access was replaced by approx. 18-inch diameter risers to allow access for monitoring and maintenance. • Distribution box replaced and set lower than original to get proper fall from tank to distribution box and distribution box to drywells (seepage pits). Recommendations: • Replace cap on south clean out near residence. • Monitor condition of septic tank during routine pumping and maintenance. This report and a completed OWTS Use Permit Application must be submitted to the Pitkin County Environmental Health Department.

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.
