Re: Tier III Groundwater Assessment Revision for Property of Bella Signature Homes, LLC
Project Number: SUB201900176
To Whom It May Concern,
HydroGeo Environmental, LLC submitted a Tier III Groundwater Assessment Report for Albemarle County
Parcel #45-59M (report dated January 29, 2019) on behalf of Bella Signature Homes, LLC to John
Anderson, PE of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development Engineering Division via
email on January 31, 2019. This Tier III was required under Albemarle County Ordinance Article X Section
17-1000 to be submitted "prior to approval of a preliminary subdivision plat creating four or more lots where
at least three lots are five acres or less".
An engineering review of the Tier III Groundwater Assessment Report (Preliminary Plat/Project Number
SUB201800177) was completed by Mr. Anderson and comments were issued on March 7, 2019.
Comments were received by HydroGeo Environmental, LLC via email from Mr. Anderson on November 25,
2019.
Bella Signature Homes, LLC and HydroGeo Environmental, LLC have addressed the comments provided
in the engineering review, and as addressed in the email between Mr. Anderson and HydroGeo on
December 16, 2019. HydroGeo has issued a revised Tier III Groundwater Assessment Report for Albemarle
County Parcel #45-59M (revision dated May 12, 2020) which includes the results of a test well installed on
Lot 1 of the property. Revisions to the report can be found in the Key Findings and Sections 6.0 and 7.0.
In summary, a test well was installed on Lot 1 on March 31, 2020 by Matheny Well Drilling and Pump
Service, Inc. Test well geographic coordinates are 38°07'02.37"N, 78°28'17.50"W (WGS 1984) and the
location has been provided on the enclosed revised plat. The well was completed to a depth of 225 feet
below ground surface and had a blown yield of 20 gallons per minute after a one (1) hour test. The Site
appears to lie in an area capable of producing adequate groundwater for the proposed use based on test
well results.
The Commonwealth of Virginia Uniform Water Well Completion Report, revised plat with test well location,
and Revised Tier III Groundwater Assessment Report are included with this letter.
