Subject: RE: Central Virginia Recycling Center (TMP94-21N): Site Visit/Noise
Test
Joan,
Our database has 22 wells with in a half mile of TMP 94-21N. The range of
yields are 0 to 41 gallons per minute (gpm) with a median yield of 8 gpm. To
pull 1500 gallons in eight hours of pumping, you would need a yield of 3.1
gpm.
As seen in the attached pdf, there is a band of wells with yields greater than
10 gpm to northeast of the parcel. That band may continue across the property
producing relatively high yielding wells. In the northwest corner, a band of
the Evona Limestone (Cev) runs across the parcel. This formation is known to be
high yielding and, in deed, the highest yielding well, the black dot on the pdf,
is found in this formation. It seems likely that a new well will meet the
production needs of the wood recycling center.
Groundwater often, but not always, follows the surface topography. A divide
separates the surface drainage to the parcel from the more populated east. It
is unlikely a new well on the parcel will effect the wells east of it. The low
yielding eastern wells experience problems now and will do so into the future
whether or not the parcel is pumped..
Hope this is helpful,
Josh

As the Tax Map indicates the site is just before 794 splits off Route 250.
Should you miss this and get to the stop light at Black Cat Road then you've
gone too far. I will try and have the entrance marked but right now there is a
real estate sign marking the site. Please turn into the site and follow the path
along the hedgerow back to the rear. Once you cross over the small creek you
will see us to the left.
If you have any questions please feel to call me. If you get lost please try my
cell phone listed below. We look forward to seeing you on this Thursday.
Sincerely,
Steve Edwards
