MEMORANDUM
TO: Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
FROM: V. Wayne Cilimberg, Director of Planning & Community up
Development
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 from
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

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 longer 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.
