Hi Marcia,
I looked into the groundwater assessment. After reviewing what you are proposing, you can follow the tier 1
assessment. Here is how I made the determination as this is a case by case scenario.
1) The building expansion is approximately 696 sf. With an estimate of 50 people at the church, the design of
the drainfield is 50 persons x 5 gallons /person = 250GPD.
2) With that information, I can also use 5 gallons /person /day for toilet & faucet usage. You fall way below the
2000 gallons /day and tier 1 is a reasonable groundwater assessment requirement.
I recommend obtaining a permit to drill the well with the Health Dept. Once approved, drill a well and
complete a GW -2 form. Submit this form to the health dept and the county. State the coordinates of the
well location.
Sec. 17 -1001 Tier 1 assessments.
A Tier 1 assessment shall consist of the owner drilling a well on the lot and submitting the following information to the program
authority: (i) a Virginia well drilling completion report (form GW -2) for each well drilled; and (ii) the latitude and longitude
coordinates of each well's location. The information submitted must be accepted as complete and accurate by the administrator prior
to issuance of the building permit.
(§ 17 -401, Ord. 04- 17(1), 12 -8 -04, effective 2 -8 -05; § 17 -1001, Ord. 14- 17(1), 5 -7 -14, effective 7 -1 -14)
One thing to note is the primary drainfield will be included as an area to be disturbed.
