Sand mounds are not permitted. I'm including the excerpt from my memo:
A. It must involve a subsurface absorption field. No surface discharge, including no spray
irrigation is permitted;
B. It must handle effluent in drain lines that is absorbed into the soil. Pressure distribution and
drip systems are permitted.
C. Only systems with General Virginia Health Department approval are allowed. No
provisional systems are allowed.
D. Sand mounds are not permitted.
E. The lot and system must comply with Section 4.1.6 of the Albemarle County Zoning
Ordinance in that it must have suitable soils for a minimum 3-bedroom house with 100
percent reserve field.
F. The primary system and reserve area must be on the lot they serve (see also issue#2 in
this memo).
