The legal description of the 3.94-acre property is Lot 9, Eagle Pines Subdivision. The permit and record drawing were provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (Parcel ID #2735-102-02-009). The subject OWTS consists of two 2000-gallon, single-compartment concrete septic tanks. Effluent gravity flows to a distribution box and then to six gravelless chamber beds, each with two rows of 13 ‘Standard’ Infiltrator® chambers. Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit 97020 documents this system. The system was sized to accommodate 7 bedrooms. The permit received final approval on October 20, 1998. The septic tanks are north of the residence. Five feet of risers bring the manhole lids on the septic tanks just below grade. The lids are covered with wood chips for easier digging. There is only access to one manhole lid on each septic tank. This is consistent with the drawings provided by Pitkin County. We believe both of these septic tanks are single-compartment tanks; however, were unable to verify due to the depth of the tanks. The septic tanks were pumped by B&R Septic approximately 1 year ago. Pumping of the septic tanks is not necessary at this time. The levels in the septic tanks appeared normal at the time of our inspection. The inlet tee was present on the first septic tank and appeared to be angled upward slightly. This is often an indication of the pipe settling outside of the septic tank. We did observe water entering the septic tank during our inspection. The inlet tee was also present on the second septic tank. While no repairs are required, we recommend access to the outlet sides of both septic tanks. We also recommend excavating the sewer pipe entering the first septic tank to remedy any settling that may have taken place. The distribution was not accessible from grade and therefore could not be inspected. We recommend locating the distribution box and brining access to grade for inspection and monitoring. We walked the soil treatment area (STA) and did not see inspection ports. The approximate STA was dry with 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: • Add risers to outlet sides of septic tank to bring access to grade. • Add effluent filter to outlet tee of second septic tank, if possible. • Excavate sewer pipe entering first septic tank to remedy any settling that may have taken place. • Locate distribution box and bring access to grade for future inspection and monitoring. 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.
