AGENDA TITLE: AGENDA DATE: ITEM NUMBER:
Key Commercial, Inc. - Request to amend the Albemarle April 2, 1997
County Service Authority Jurisdictional Area.
ACTION: X INFORMATION:
SUBJECT/PROPOSAUREQUEST:
Consider holding a public hearing to amend the ACSA
Jurisdictional Area to provide Water Only to Key West CONSENT AGENDA:
Subdivision located on Tax Map 62, Sections 62B(1), ACTION: INFORMATION:
62B(2), and 62B(3) and Cedar Hills Subdivision located
on Tax Map 62, Section 62C. ATTACHMENTS: Yes
STAFF CONTACT(S): `
Messrs. Tucker, Cilimberg REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Key Commercial, Inc. requests jurisdictional area designation for water only for service to Key West Subdivision
located on Tax Map 62, Sections 62B(1), 62B(2) and 62B(3) and Cedar Hill Subdivision located on Tax Map 62, Section 62C
(See Attachment A). These two subdivisions are located off Route 20(Stony Point Road) just north of the Neighborhood Three
Development Area and consist of a total of 228 lots(See Attachment B). The applicant has stated that the request for the water
only designation is due to the primary well serving the subdivisions being contaminated with a gasoline additive called Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether(MTBE). Also,the applicant added that the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has not been able
to determine the source of the MTBE and that the Virginia Department of Health (VDH)-Office of Water Programs recommends
that the Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) furnish water to these subdivisions as a solution (See VDH report-
Attachment C). According to a letter dated March 7, 1997 from Bill Brent,ACSA Executive Director, the applicant has attempted
to drill additional wells but they did not produce the water quantity needed to serve the neighborhoods. Also, Mr. Brent added
that putting a treatment system on the contaminated well will be costly project and its long term effectiveness is uncertain
(Attachment D).
DISCUSSION:
The subject property for this request is not within a Development Area. The Comprehensive Plan provides the following
concerning water service in the Rural Area:
General Principle: Utilization of central water and/or sewer systems or the extension of public water or sewer into the Rural Area
is strongly discouraged except in cases where public health and safety are at issue.
Recommendation: Only allow changes in jurisdictional areas outside of designated Development Area boundaries in cases
where the property is:(1) adjacent to existing lines;and(2)public health or safety is endangered.
The subject property is not located adjacent to a water line. The nearest line is a 12 inch water line (Pantops water line) located
approximately 6,000 feet south of the subdivisions that runs along Route 1421 (Elk Drive),just south of Darden Towe Park.
Verification of endangerment to public health and safety is provided in the attachments.
RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant has actively sought alternative solutions to provide a replacement system by attempting to find a new well(s) to
serve the neighborhoods. The Virginia Department of Health-Office of Water Programs has confirmed ground water
contamination and has indicated that the best alternative to serve the subdivisions is a connection to the Pantops water line.
Staff believes that the effect on the intent of the Comprehensive Plan of an amendment is minimal in that the jurisdictional area
for public water will only be designated for those parcels in the Key West and Cedar Hill subdivisions currently served by the
Key West Water Company. For these reasons, staff recommends proceeding to public hearing to consider amending the
jurisdictional area map to allow for water only designation for the Key West and Cedar Hills subdivisions located on Tax Map
62, Sections 62B(1), 62B(2), 62B(3) and 62C.

Re: Request for Corrective Action Plan, GOCO Bulk Plant, Shadwell
DEQ Tracking Number: PC 89-1392
Dear Mr. Montague:
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)was notified on July 21, 1998,that the
potable well serving the above facility was contaminated with petroleum. In response to the
report, DEQ sampled the well on July 23, 1998. The laboratory results confirmed the presence
of MTBE in the water, and you were notified of the results on August 4, 1998. DEQ decided to
postpone further action at the site until the completion of a previously initiated AST closure.
Based on a review of the AST closure documents received at this office on October 16,
1998, it appears that a new petroleum release has not occurred at the facility. Accordingly,the
contamination in the potable well is presumed to have occurred as a result of a petroleum release
previously investigated under PC 89-1392. Given this determination,DEQ has decided to
reopen PC 89-1392.
Since the potable well is the second well at the facility to become impacted by the
documented petroleum release, DEQ believes that the best option for a safe potable water supply
is to connect to the Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) water supply running along
Route 250. Please submit a Corrective Action Plan (CAP)by December 7, 1998, outlining a
schedule to connect to the ACSA water supply. If ACSA will not agree to your request for
connection, DEQ will attempt to negotiate with ACSA on your behalf.
Since the petroleum release occurred from an AST system and additional impact to the
surrounding community is not anticipated,public notice of the CAP will not be required. Upon
receipt and approval of the CAP, DEQ will grant a CAP Permit with instructions for initiating

DATE: February 26, 1993
RE: Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA)
Jurisdictional Area Amendment for David W. Booth/Sandra
Andrews and Sherwood Exum (GOCO, Inc. ) - Tax Map 79,
Parcels 18 and 19
This item will be before you as a public hearing on March 3 ,
1993 . Enclosed is the original report on this matter from
October and subsequent information regarding each parcel.
Tax Map 79 , Parcel 19 (Booth/Andrews)
Samples from the well on this property were taken by Applied
Technology and Engineering, P.C. (January 28 , 1993 letter frpm
John W. Walenten) . The Department of Engineering has provided
response (February 24, 1993 memo from Jack Kelsey) . Engineering
staff does not find that jurisdictional area amendment is
adequately justified.
Tax Map 79, Parcel 18 (GOCO)
This property was the subject of the August 14, 1989 State Water
Control Board letter and the "Site, Risk and Remediation
Assessment of Groundwater Contamination at the Shadwell "76"
Station Shadwell, Virginia" report. Substantial petroleum
contamination was found in the domestic well supply at this site.
A Corrective Action Plan (page 24 of the report) was identified.
It has since been found that the line carrying runoff from the
gravel area near the unloading rack is not a source contaminating

February 26, 1993
Page 2
the well. According to Mr. Harry Montague, a representative of
GOCO, it is now believed that contamination of the unloading rack
area and contamination of-the well were unrelated. The well is
believed to be the source of isolated contamination resulting
from vandalism. The well is no longed being used as there is
only one employee on-site. GOCO has not attempted to establish
another domestic well on-site, although monitoring wells
established for the assessment indicate the contamination was
localized.
Summary
As stated previously, utility service outside of designated
growth areas has typically been limited to those cases where
properties have experienced quality/quantity problems and are
adjacent to existing lines. Booth/Andrews desires water only
and• has a documented coliform level not acceptable for drinking
water. However, the recommended procedure for resolution of this
problem has not been undertaken. Staff does not recommend
jurisdictional area amendment for Parcel 19 (Booth/Andrews) until
the four step procedure for resolving the coliform problem has
been exhausted. GOCO desires water only to existing structures
and has documented localized petroleum contamination. No new
well source has been attempted to be established. The use of the
site is restricted by its non-conforming zoning status and
on-site activities do not require more than domestic water needs.
Staff does not recommend jurisdictional area amendment for Parcel
18 (GOCO) until evidence is provided that no other on-site water
source is available.

RE: Site Selection for New Water Supply Well, Shadwell Store, Route 250.
Dear Mr. Montigue:
Per. your request, I have analyzed the groundwater data for the above referenced Site to
determine the best location for the placement of a new water supply well on GOCO's property.
The data I reviewed is contained in the June 12, 1990 report HYDROSYSTEMS prepared for
submission to the Virginia State Water Control Board and is titled "Site, Risk, and Remediation
Assessment of Groundwater Contamination at the Shadwell 76 Station, Shadwell, Virginia". As
you are aware, the current water supply well is contaminated with petroleum, mainly in the form
of gasoline type compounds. Benzene concentrations greatly,exceed the U.S. EPA and Virginia
Drinking Water Standard of 5 ppb. Benzene is a known carcinogen.
To evaluate potential new water supply well locations on GOCO's property, I reviewed all of
the existing data including water quality, groundwater flow direction, potential sources of
contamination, geologic conditions, and available area. Because of the existing severe
contamination in the upgradient areas of the site, the use of a septic field to the north of the
Station, the existence of an underground storage tank, unpaved dispensing areas, and
groundwater flow to the northwest, HYDROSYSTEMS has determined that most of the property
is absolutely unsuitable for the installation of a water supply well. Wells placed within this
area will either immediately encounter contaminated groundwater or will upon usage draw in
contaminated groundwater from other areas of the site once the well is placed in operation.
This leaves one small area at the southern point of the site. Placing a water supply well here
will be a gamble at best. Well MW-4 was contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons just
above the Virginia Drinking Water Standards. The source of this contamination is not known.
In addition, the most highly contaminated monitoring well on site is only 135 feet away at the
loading rack. It is very possible that a water supply well in this location will draw in

/And\ Q74_Q74n
Mr. Harry Montague '

contaminated groundwater from the site to the north. In my experience, this is not an
uncommon occurrence. I am currently working on a case in Albemarle County where a new
well drilled 250 feet up hill from an'area of gasoline contamination became contaminated after
it was put into use. Everyone assumed the well was far enough away and was upgradient of the
contamination. Because of the fractured nature of the bedrock aquifer systems in Albemarle
County, the influence of a pumping well can reach long distances along those fractures, even
pulling in groundwater from downgradient areas as was seen in this case.
Because of the severity of the groundwater contamination at this site and the existing geologic
conditions, HYDROSYSTEMS cannot recommend the placement of a water supply well on the
GOCO property. We are not comfortable with the minimal isolation distances available. We
would instead recommend that a location on one of the surrounding properties be considered or
if possible tapping into the proposed water main.
If you have any questions concerning this letter report or if you wish to pursue potential off-site
well locations, please contact me at your convenience.

MEMORANDUM P rini ig Dep.
TO: Wayne Cilimberg '1)irector of Plan : & Community Development
FROM: Jack M. Kelsey, PE - Civil Engineer-: /
DATE: pi
February 24, 1993
RE:
Jurisdictional Area Request - Tax Map 79 Parcel 19
As requested this Department has reviewed the analysis of the drinking water sampled from
the above referenced private well and the technical grounds for support of an extension to the
ACSA jurisdictional area.
Sampling and testing of this well indicated unacceptable coliform bacteria levels. According
to the Thomas Jefferson Health Department this type of contamination is very common
(especially in older wells) and is a problem they deal with on a daily basis. Very rarely is
the groundwater the source of this type of contamination. Bacteria contamination is
generally due to intrusion of surface runoff into the well as a result of poor installation or (in
the case of old wells) the standards utilized at that time.
The Health Department utilizes a four step procedure for recommending a resolution to these
problems. The first recommendation is to protect the wellhead from the intrusion 9f surface
runoff, chlorinate and flush the well to remove the bacteria from the stored water as well as
the liner and appurtences, and then test the water. Should these measures fail to correct the
contamination, the second recommendation is to install a new well in accordance with present
standards. If bacteria contamination continues to persist, installation of a chlorination system •
is then recommended. Lastly, for the rare case when all options fail, the Health Department
will recommend the owner apply for extension of the ACSA jurisdictional'area.
As a policy the County has discouraged extension of ACSA jurisdictional areas in other than
County designated growth areas, unless public health and safety is endangered. This site is
not located within a County designated growth area.
•
Wayne Cilimberg
February 24, 1993
Page 2
The scope of the sampling and testing of this well was limited to the determination of the
water quality in the present condition of the well and are not conclusive evidence that the
well is a danger to public health and safety.
Extension of the ACSA jurisdictional area is not adequately justified until disinfection,
remedial measures to eliminate the source of the contamination, and/or the other options
described above are attempted and failed. Therefore, at this time the Engineering
Department cannot support this request.

Re: Shadwell GOCO "76" - Albemarle County, PC 89-1392
Dear Mr. Exum:
This is in regard to the report of the taste and odor of petroleum -in
the domestic well water supply at the referenced site. On April 28 ,
1989 Mr. John Paul Jones, Albemarle Fire Inspector, reported
petroleum contamination at the referenced site. On June 29 , 1989
Mr. Larry Carpenter of this office obtained water samples for
analysis from the well which serves this site. Analytical results
from these samples (copy attached) indicate substantial petroleum
contamination is affecting ground water at this site.
Due to the presence of this contamination, Valley Regional staff
believe that a site, risk and remediation assessment is necessary to
protect human safety and the environment. Therefore, I must request
GOCO Oil Company to submit a site, risk and remediation assessment by

Re: GOCO Bulk Facility, Routes 250 & 729, Shadwell
DEQ Tracking Number: PC 89-1392
Dear Mr. Benish:
Per our telephone conversation on January 7, 1999, I have prepared a summary of Department
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) records pertaining to the petroleum contamination at the above site:
On April 28, 1989, Mr. J. P. Jones of the Albemarle County Fire Department reported that No.
2 fuel oil was leaking from a loading rack valve at the GOCO facility. The valve problem was
corrected, but soon after, the State Water Control Board (SWCB), now DEQ, received a report that the
potable well water serving the facility had the taste and odor of petroleum. The SWCB sampled the
well and determined that the groundwater at the facility was contaminated with components of
gasoline. Accordingly, the SWCB requested that GOCO submit a site, risk, and remediation
assessment to address the contamination.
On June 22, 1990, the SWCB received GOCO's report, prepared by Jeffrey A. Sitler of
Hydrosystems, Inc. Five groundwater monitoring wells were installed at the site to determine
groundwater characteristics and contaminant levels. Groundwater flow was measured to be to the
west-northwest toward the western corner of the site near the intersection of the C&O railroad and
Route 250 (see Figure 5). Given the extreme geologic`heterogeneity, groundwater velocities at the site
were estimated to range between 20-550 ftlyr. Significant dissolved-phase contamination was
encountered only in the wells in the vicinity of the loading rack (MW-1, MW-2, and the potable well).
These wells had significant concentrations of BTEX compounds--benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and
xylenes--indicative of gasoline. The downgradient monitoring wells (MW-4 and MW-5) and the

intermittent stream located along the northern boundary of the property did not have detectable BTEX
levels. No free-phase petroleum was encountered in any of the monitoring wells.
According to the report, the GOCO site has been utilized as a commercial gas station and bulk
distribution center since approximately 1940, and the observed groundwater contamination was
attributed to repeated leaks, spills, and overfills at the loading rack. The lack of contamination in the
stream and downgradient monitoring wells indicated that the contaminant plume was stable and was
not migrating from the site. GOCO declined assistance from the DEQ's alternate water supply
program to address the contaminated potable well, and since no additional investigation was warranted,
DEQ closed the case on August 2, 1994.
On July 21, 1998, Mr. and Mrs. Jacques Logarides visited DEQ and reported that the potable
wells serving the GOCO facility and the Shadwell 7-Day Junior convenience store at the intersection of
Routes 22 and 250 were contaminated with petroleum. Mr. and Mrs. Logarides were concerned
because they were planning to purchase the parcel of property between the two sites, and they did not
want to have a contaminated drinking water supply. In response to the report, I visited both sites July
23, 1998, to collect water samples. At GOCO facility, I discovered that a new potable well had been
drilled in the early 1990's. The sample results indicated that the well serving the 7-Day Junior store
was free of contamination, but the new well serving the GOCO facility contained MTBE, a gasoline
additive.
Tests for MTBE had not been run at the GOCO facility prior the July sampling event, and in all
likelihood, MTBE has been present at the site since the original pollution report was received in 1989.
Because MTBE may serve as an indicator of more toxic and/or carcinogenic gasoline constituents,
DEQ required GOCO to inquire about connecting to the Albemarle County Service Authority water
line running along Route 250. DEQ considers this to be the most cost-effective solution to address the
contaminated water supply issue at the GOCO facility. If you have additional questions about the
content of this letter,please contact me at 540-574-7846.
