Bemsh Chief of Planning 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville,VA 22902-4596 Re: ACSA Jurisdictional Area Request for Water Service to the Robert and Carolyn Michie Property, 1066 Shadwell Station Lane, Charlottesville Dear Mr. Benish: At your request, I am writing today to provide you a summary of recent activities at the referenced property as well as the potential health ramifications of ingesting methyl-tertiary butyl ether (MTBE). As we discussed last Tuesday, the Department of Environmental Quality(DEQ) received notification from the referenced property owners on May 12, 2008 of the presence of a foreign taste in their well water for the past several months and black staining in their sediment filter in recent weeks. In response to their concern and due to the proximity of their property to others in the vicinity with documented historic petroleum releases,the DEQ had the well sampled on May 14, 2008 to confirm or confute the presence of petroleum components in the well. The enclosed laboratory analytical results indicate a positive detection of 21 micrograms per liter(ug/L) MTBE. MTBE began phasing out lead in gasoline in the late 1970s to boost octane and to reduce tailpipe emissions. It was added to gasoline in Virginia between approximately 1979 and March 2006 before being replaced recently by ethanol. Once released from petroleum tank systems to groundwater, low levels of MTBE can make drinking water supplies undrinkable due to its offensive taste and odor. To date, EPA has not made any conclusions regarding the potential health risks of MTBE at low exposure levels in drinking water,but it has acknowledged that the data supports that MTBE may be a potential human carcinogen at high doses. Although EPA has not established a national drinking water standard for MTBE as it has for other petroleum constituents which are known carcinogens, it has issued Mr. David B. Benish June 5, 2008 Page 2 of 2 a drinking water advisory that recommends keeping MTBE concentrations in drinking water lower than 20-40 ug/L. The Virginia Department of Health has established a trigger level of 20 ug/L for MTBE in public water supplies. The Virginia DEQ has a zero tolerance practice for all petroleum constituents in private water supply wells,regardless of risk. For that reason,DEQ has already provided a carbon filtration unit to the Michie's in order to ensure safe potable water until a permanent solution is provided. Based on a recent visit to the impacted property and a review of the compliance inspection records for the adjacent GOCO station over the past several years,there does not appear to be evidence suggesting that a new petroleum release has occurred from the GOCO facility or from the two underground heating oil tanks on the referenced property. Given the proximity of the impacted Michie well to the known gasoline plume previously investigated on the GOCO property under PC 89-1392,the MTBE contamination in the Michie well is presumed to have originated from a historic release from GOCO. DEQ is reopening PC 89-1392 in order to address this newly impacted supply well. Because the extent of the dissolved plume in the deep fractured bedrock aquifer in the Shadwell area is unknown and remediation of the highly soluble MTBE in the deep aquifer is not practical,DEQ believes the most practical and cost-effective solution to provide and maintain a safe potable water supply is to connect the impacted Michie residence and rental house (which share the same well)to the Albemarle County Service Authority(ACSA)waterline. DEQ has notified GOCO Oil ofthis-l-- recommendation and has requested that GOCO coordinate with the ACSA to provide this water service connection, if approved. If this alternative does not prove to be viable,DEQ will work with GOCO to try to find a suitable location for drilling a replacement well. However, the nature of the bedrock at the site and the apparent extent of the contamination may eliminate this option as a possibility. If you have any additional questions about this site or DEQ's involvement or request my presence at a Board meeting to provide technical advice,please do not hesitate to contact me at(540) 574-7847 or at tapitsenberger@deq.virginia.gov. I appreciate in advance your cooperation with this complicated matter. Sincerely, 01:jd Todd A.

In response to their concern and due to the proximity of their property to others in the vicinity with documented historic petroleum releases,the DEQ had the well sampled on May 14, 2008 to confirm or confute the presence of petroleum components in the well. The enclosed laboratory analytical results indicate a positive detection of 21 ug/L MTBE, a former gasoline additive. Based on a recent visit to the impacted property and a review of your compliance inspection records over the past several years, there does not appear to be evidence suggesting that a new petroleum release has occurred from either your facility or from the two underground heating oil tanks on the referenced property. Given the proximity of the impacted Michie well to the known gasoline plume previously investigated on your property under PC 89-1392,the MTBE contamination in the Michie well is presumed to have originated from a histonc release from your facility. Based on these findings, DEQ is reopening PC 89-1392 in order to address this newly impacted supply well. State Water Control Law authorizes the State Water Control Board(the "Board"), acting through DEQ, to require any owner or operator who is the responsible person for a petroleum release from a storage tank system to undertake corrective,action for any such release. Based on the evidence available to us, it appears that you are the Responsible Person (RP) for this petroleum release. Code § 62.1-44.34.9 A responsible person is any person who is an owner or operator of an underground storage tank or an aboveground storage tank at the time the release is reported to the Board. §62 1-44.34 8. Mr. Harry Montague June 5, 2008 Page 2 of 3 Since the extent of the dissolved plume in the deep fractured bedrock aquifer is unknown and we believe it cannot be reasonably delineated or remediated at this time, DEQ believes the best corrective action in order to provide and maintain a safe potable water supply is to connect the impacted Michie residence and rental house (which-share the same well) and any other wells found to be impacted in the vicinity to the Albemarle County Service Authority(ACSA)water line. DEQ has already contacted the ACSA and the Albemarle County Department of Community Development in recent weeks regarding this proposed water line connection. As was necessary for GOCO in March 2000, this connection will require an amendment to the ACSA jurisdictional area boundaries for water service to include the Michie property and any other impacted properties. Early indications suggest the request will make the agenda for the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors meeting in July Assuming the request is approved by the Board of Supervisors and passes through the public hearing and comment period, a water line connection may be possible by late summer, at which time you will be required to coordinate with the ACSA to schedule and pay for the proposed connection. Shortly after the municipal water line connection is completed, you will be required to submit a brief letter report to DEQ summarizing the work completed and the approximate completion dates. 'We will provide you with a report deadline after the connection is scheduled with the ACSA. If you perform the required investigation and corrective action, it will not be necessary for the Board to initiate an administrative or judicial proceeding to render a final determination of liability. If you choose not to perform the required actions,the Board may elect to initiate either administrative or judicial enforcement proceedings against you. In any administrative proceeding,whether initiated at your request or by the Board or the Department, your rights under Code § 2.2-4019 include notice and a chance to appear in person or by a representative to present factual data, argument;and proof in connection with this matter. During this proceeding you may dispute the Department's allegation that you are the RP for this petroleum release. The Virginia Petroleum Storage Tank Fund (VPSTF), also administered by the Department on behalf of the Board,may be available to reimburse you for some of the costs to mitigate the effects of this release. Please note that pnor approval of site work is required if you plan to seek reimbursement from the Fund. You may request prior approval by submitting an Activity Authorization Form(AAF)to this office before you start investigation and corrective action activities. This letter is intended to provide information to assist you in evaluating your compliance obligations and is not intended to be a case decision under the Administrative Process Act. I have been assigned as the case manager for this pollution complaint case and will assist you in completing an effective corrective action. I appreciate your cooperation with this matter to date and look forward to working with you in the coming months to resolve this issue. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the information contained in this letter,please do not hesitate to contact me at(540) 574-7847 or at tapitsenberger@deq.virginia.gov. In the event that discussions with me or other staff do not lead to a satisfactory resolution of the contents of this letter, you may elect to participate in DEQ's Process for Early Dispute Resolution.'
