Mr. Perez:
As requested, I've reviewed the subject plat, dated 11/16/20, and offer the following
comments:
1) The location of the proposed "gravel storage / service parking area" conflicts with
that of the existing septic system drainfield. Referring to 12VAC5-610-700:
1. No structures shall be placed over the subsurface soil absorption system.
Driveways or parking lots shall not be constructed on the subsurface soil
absorption system unless the invert of the lead or header lines or top of the
gravel in the absorption trenches is deeper than 30 inches below the ground
surface and the driveway or parking lot is paved with portland cement or
bituminous concrete to prevent compaction of the trench bottom. Driveways
and parking lots shall not be constructed over the distribution box unless
adequate structural and access provisions are provided.
In order to recommend approval of constructing a parking area over the existing
drainfield, the locations and depths of the various septic system components
would have to be determined, and if adequate, the proposed construction would
have to include surfacing vehicle traffic and parking areas with either cement or
asphalt.
2) I recommend the site plan show the locations of the septic tank serving the
existing Exxon and the Distribution Box(s). If either are located within areas to
be developed, adequate protection would need to be proposed. If the septic tank
is located within the 10' minimum separation distance to the expanded structure, I
suggest the plan state that a permit from the Health Department would be attained
for its relocation.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
Sincerely,
Alan Mazurowski
