INIGO FACSIMILE 804-977-0198 May 6, 1997 Department of Planning and Community Development County of Albemarle 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22902-4596 RE : W. J. Kirtley, Jr. Dear Madam or Sir: Enclosed is an application from W. J. Kirtley, Jr. , to amend the service authority area to allow him to hook up to the public sewer line at the front of this property on Route 250 West . There is an office building in the front of the property which is within the service area although it is not connected to the sewer. The building on the rear of the property is not within the service area because the sewage would have to be pumped to the sewer line . The drainfield at the rear area has failed to the extent that the septic tank needs to be pumped weekly. As you can see from Steve Gooch' s report, there is not enough space in the rear of the lot and because of the extreme rock formation there is probably not enough space behind the office building in the front of the property. Enclosed are some pictures taken recently when the water line was put in showing the rock content of the soil . If you need any other information or have any questions, please feel free to call me at the above number, or call Mr. Kirtley at 295-5090 . Very truly yours, ./ A2f/w47— Ri hard E.

Kirtley 108 Reynard Drive Charlottesville,Virginia 22901 Re: Soils Study Proposed Drainfield Sites for Kirtley Distributing Building Kirtley Property-Route 250 West Albemarle County Dear Mr. Kirtley: TeL As requested we have completed a soils study at the referenced site. The purpose of the study was to determine the suitability of the soils for the disposal of sewage by means s 04.977 1498 of a septic tank drainfield system. The investigation has consisted of drilling a series of hand auger test holes to determine soil profiles at two(2) potential sites that you wanted ir•"c ; ,; investigated. The first site is located directly behind the existing two-story brick office building in the front portion of the property. The second site is located in the gravel $ 4.9 7 7.6 7'8 parking lot in front of the existing warehouse in the rear portion of the property. A log of each test hole is shown on the enclosed individual soil profile sheets along with a sketch showing the approximate hole locations. The holes at the first site have been flagged with red ribbon. The holes at the second site have not been flagged. Also enclosed is a soil information summary sheet for each site containing information pertinent to the design of the proposed drainfield. Based on our investigation, we offer the following comments regarding the areas investigated: Site #1 (Behind the existing two story office building): This area was investigated with seven (7) soil profile holes. Two of the profile holes (4 and 7) encountered bedrock at 44 and 42 inches, respectively. The depth to bedrock,coupled with the fact that there is anywhere from 18 to 26 inches of existing fill in the area, will limit ttie potential drainfield site to a small area in the vicinity of holes 1,2,3,5 and 6. Provided that no bedrock is encountered at a depth above 54 inches this area will only support six (6) 67 foot lines. Using an estimated percolation rate of 40 minutes/inch and an installation depth of 54 inches below the existing ground surface, this site can dispose of approximately 600 gallons of water per day. If this site is approved by the Health Department, a pump system will be required. Site #2 (In parking lot in front of the existing warehouse building): There is a very small area in the vicinity of holes 1,2,5 and 6 that should support four(4) 50 foot lines. Using an estimated percolation rate of 40 minutes/inch and an installation depth of 42 inches below the existing parking lot, this site can dispose of approximately 300 gallons of water per day. If this site is approved by the Health Department, the parking EARTH `�- T E <: t� 05i 05/1 9_I9F OE:: 14 804977677R EARTH TECH PAGE 03 • • Soils Study Proposed Drainfield Sites for Kirtley Distributing Building Kirtley Property-Route 250 West Albemarle County Page 2 lot will have to be paved and the existing well will have to be abandoned in accordance with Health Department regulations. We suggest that you discuss your situation with the Health Department to determine how much drainfield will be required in order to accommodate the changes that you are proposing. The contents of this report reflect our opinion as to the suitability of the soils in the areas investigated to support a septic tank/drainfield system under the current Health Department regulations. Final approval and design of the drainfield rests with the Charlottesville-Albemarle Health Department. • We hope this is the information you need. If you have any questions, please let us know.
