Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit Inspection
80 Arapahoe Lane
Pitkin County, Colorado
Erik,
As requested, CBO Inc. performed an Onsite W astewater Treatment System (OWTS) Use Permit
inspection at 80 Arapahoe Lane, Carbondale, Colorado August 23, 2017. The legal description of the
0.45-acre property is Lot 43, Swiss Village Tracts.
The permit and record drawing was provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel
ID #2649-291-02-017). The subject OW TS consists of one 1000-gallon, two-compartment concrete
septic tank. Effluent gravity flows to a distribution box, and then to two deep gravel trenches. Three feet
of gravel is documented under each 180-lineal feet of trench. Individual Sewage Disposal System
Permit 88007 documents this system. The system was sized to accommodate 3 bedrooms, but the
residence currently has 4 bedrooms.
The system was last inspected on June 26 and July 26, 2017. OWTS Use Permit 0028.2016.POWT was
obtained prior to the last property transaction.
The septic tank is located south of the residence. No clean out was observed between the house and
the septic tank. New risers and lids were installed after the last inspection, bringing access to
grade.
Neither the inlet or outlet tee was visible from the manhole lid. We were able to take photos inside the
septic tank (see below) and the tees are tucked under the lids. Typically, we recommend the addition of
an effluent filter in the outlet tee; however, with the tee tucked under the lid of the septic tank, this
addition is not feasible without extending the tee. The septic tank is showing signs of deterioration of the
concrete from the gasses in the septic tank, which is normal. The structure of the septic tank appeared
to be intact at the time of the inspection. It is possible the higher than normal levels of solids in the outlet
side of the septic tank could be attributed to sloughing of the concrete on the outlet side of the tank.
Liquid levels in the septic tank appeared normal at the time of the inspection. There was a greater
amount of accumulation of solids in the outlet side of the septic tank than the inlet side of the septic tank,
which is unusual. This was observed in our 2016 inspection; however, the septic tank was not pumped
at the time of the 2016 inspection as it had been pumped just two months prior to the inspection. The
septic tank was pumped by Altitude Septic at the time of our August 2017 inspection. IT should be noted
that this is a mid-seam tank, meaning the tank comes in two pieces with the seam below the normal
liquid level of the septic tank. While these types of tank are prone to leak, there was no evidence the
septic tank was not water tight at the time of our inspection.
The distribution box is not accessible from grade; therefore, this component was not able to be inspected.
We recommend locating the distribution box and brining access to grade for future inspection and
monitoring. We walked the approximate soil treatment area (STA) at the time of the inspection. There
was no evidence of surface saturation or failure at the time of the inspection. No inspection ports were
observed. This evaluation is not a guarantee of future system performance. This inspection is good for
one year.
Recommendations:
• Bring distribution box to grade for future inspection and monitoring.
• Continue to monitor septic tank. Concrete is showing signs of deterioration.
• Check tank annually to assure levels are normal and mid-seam is not leaking.
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

In use at the time of the inspection. 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 #: 88007 Date of Issuance: 04/15/1988 Date of Final Approval: 06/21/1989
# of Bedrooms or fixtures served by OWTS: This system was designed to serve 3-bedrooms. However, the residence has 4-
bedrooms. This discrepancy shall be addressed when the house is remodeled or when the OWTS is repaired/replaced.
Operational Status: The inspector indicates the OWTS appears to be operating properly and there is no sign of failure. The inspector
did notice signs that the tank was overfull at some point in the past but the effluent levels are correct now. The inspector also noted
the presence of solids in the outlet side of the tank after the tank had been pumped, which is unusual.
Inspector Recommendations: None.
Department Recommendations: Due to the solids being present in the outlet side of the tank after pumping and evidence of the
tank being overfull at a previous time, this Department strongly recommends the system (including the tank) be inspected again
approximately 6 months after the buyers occupy the residence. The tank may need to be pumped again as part of this inspection.
Provide access to grade for the distribution box, extend the outlet tee and install an effluent filter in the second compartment of the
tank, annual maintenance.
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.
