He stated his issues stated about a year ago, around the time of the ffooding elents associated with tropical V. 1. 1 stom lrene, The complainant's water supply originates from what the home orner belie\es is a spring. The original wale. containmenl source br his home was a concrete cistem which appears to hale b€en able to hold arcund 5000 gallons. This cistem was a primary lr€ter souoe f,r Camptor n up until the early 1970s. Aound 10 years ago, the cistem deterio€ted to the poinl that it would no lonqer hold waler. A new 1000 gallon concrete holding tank was installed righl below lhe cislem. An exca\alion re\ealed a 2' pipe undeErcund which fed tho cistem. The pipe was cut, and a new 2' poly pipe was attached to the original pipe. This poly pipe $?s then tied into lhe holding tank. waler is pumped fiom the holding tank by a submersible $€ll pump which has been installed in a 6" PVC pip€ which has been perforaled and submeEed in the holding tank. The nearest gas $€ll thal can be considered up gradient ofthis spring is the Chesapeake Brink pad \ihich is approximately-away. lhis pad has t'.,ro dtilled wells, the Bdnk 2H' 01t20789, and the 5H, 01t20840. lhe physically closest well pad is the awey l told Chesapeake Cerca pad, \thich is located approximately t the complainanl that diminution relaled to gas $€ll ddlling typically occuts during acti\€ gas well ddlling, wiich is not occuning on either of the abo\E mentioned pads. I suggested to tho complainanl lhat he should in\estigate his poly and odginalpipe connection. Itold complainant that \,ould consult OP EN _S OU RC E with the DeFrartment's g€.ologic spocialist, and get back to him lnvestlqation lniormalion Date lnv€stn lngector: Asig.ed: 08t1012012 Oate lnve6tigated; 08/2912012 Type: GENE T RICKARD Violation(Y/N): lnvestigatlonld: No 293740 eFACTS lnspec{ion ld: lnvedgalion Desc.lptlon: Consulted ,a/ith geologic specialist, who agGed with me that without the existing water supply system not being fully e\aluated by the homeowner, and the distance to the nearesl wells which, as mentioned are nol acti\€ly being drilled, the Department is unable to plo\€ diminution due to gas vvell de\€lopment. Lefr message on 8/29112 stating thal a nondetemination letter would be issued for this complaint and that at this time no fufther action would t€ taken by the Department 8/29/12: Delelmination The Department's in\€stigation indicates that the complainant's $€ter well has not been impacted by gas ddlling acti\ity, and since no sampling was corducted on this in\estigation, no detemination letler is required to tte gene€ted.
