Thank you for your participation in the meeting held on August 27, 2015, at the Charlottesville/Albemarle Health
Department concerning the Charlottesville Moose Lodge water system.
As you are aware the Charlottesville Moose Lodge Waterworks Operation Permit was recently revoked due to ongoing
unaddressed compliance issues; this action also resulted in the revocation of Local Health Department permits for food
service. The Waterworks Operation Permit revocation was the end result of a long history of enforcement actions
resulting from continued non-compliance with the Commonwealth of Virginia Waterworks Regulations. Following is a
summary of violations and enforcement actions:
VDH issued 121 separate water quality and monitoring violations since the facility was originally issued a
Waterworks Operation Permit in May 2003
The USEPA issued a "Notice of Violation and Request for Lnformation" dated January 2015
State Health Commissioner Special Order No. 1 1-2014-10 issued January 5, 2015
• State Health Commissioner Special Order (and permit revocation) No. 06-2015-05 disused July 28, 2015
The non-compliance history of the Charlottesville Moose lodge water system indicates serious issues related to the
available quantity of water, the quality of water delivered to consumers, and the technical, managerial and financial
capability necessary to protect public health. As such, the following initial steps must be taken if the Charlottesville
Moose Lodge wishes to have their facility permitted again by this office.
1. A licensed Virginia professional engineer must be contracted to evaluate the existing water system and
submit a report with recommendations for improvements or additions to the water system to meet
requirements of the Commonwealth of Virginia Waterworks Regulations. The engineer's report must
address the fact that:
i. Continued use of the existing side -stream in -ground concrete storage tank cannot be allowed.
This tank has shown that it is susceptible to entry by tree roots and the existing access hatch could
easily allow for contamination by rodents, insects and other debris.

ii. Continued use of the existing wells cannot be allowed. Of the four drilled wells on site,
construction records are only available for the two newest wells. These two wells do not meet the
Waterworks Regulations minimum construction requirements due to a combination of shallow
well casings and unknown groutmg. These existing wells have a history of raw water quality
high in Total Coliform bacteria and periodic contamination of E tali. In addition, the reliability
and capacity of the existing wells is poor as evidenced by frequent mechanical failures, low yields
and water hauling to supplement their output.
2. We will review and evaluate recommendations contained in the required engineer's report. Before VDH
can consider issuing a Waterworks Operation Permit the Charlottesville Moose Lodge will be required to:
i. Satisfactorily address any items contained in the approved engineer's report including any
required improvements or additions to ilie water infrastructure.
ii. Secure an acceptable water source that is capable of providing adequate quantity and quality of
water and meeting all applicable requirements of the ,yarerworks Regulations.
iii. Provide a contract operator holding a minimum Virginia C1a55 6 Waterworks Operator license to
oversee and operate the system, and;
ry watter quality monitoring and the costs of the contract operator for a period of two l required
o years.
If you have any questions about these requirements please do not hesitate to contact Steve Kvech, PE, District Engineer,
at (540) 463-0424.

James W. Moore 111, PE
