Dear Mr. Kurth;
The plans and specification for the subject project are approved
for the. features with which this Department is concerned. This
approval is premised on the conditions we agreed to during our
telephone conversation on May 6, 1975, as follows:
1. The storage requirements shall be designed in such a
manner that approximately 600 gallons of effective storage will
be provided. This is based on the fixture unit calculations
which we both made.
2. This system should be designed at the present time to
serve tract A if it is to be a part of this system. If tract A
is not to be a part of this system then it should not be up to the
owners of lots in the subject project to provide water service to
this area at a later date due to the possible necessity for higher
pressures to pump water into this steep area..
~. The final specifications for this job must require that
all excavation areas be back fSlled leveled and vegetated in con-
formance with existing topography and vegetation.
4. The chemical analysis you described in our telephone con-
versation must be submitted to this office.
If you have any question regarding the above please do not hesitate
to contact me.
Sincerely yours,

RE: Water System - Swanee Slopes Subdivision, Unit # i
Dear Er. Strickland:
I feel you should be made aware of my finding a leak in
the water system during the evening of 24 January 1975.
While this particular leak may not have been the total
cause for the water shortage, it certainly is a major
one. On the previous evening, I personally operated the
pump, and premised on time periods of operation, ran an
estimated 800 gallons into the system in approximately
forty five minutes. Because of the distribution ar-
rangement at that time, there were definite indic~.ations
that this water was going only to one house.
There is some evidence that this leak had been in exis-
tence for come time, and consequently, would be.the
cause of losing literally thousand of gallons of water.
From previous experience, I know that the ten to fif-
teen feet of gravel overlay will absorb a tremendous
amount of water.
For some time after the new well was connected with the
system, there was sufficient water at good pressure, and
the pump could build up cutting-off pressure during use.
The well also recovered overnight to the forty foot level
(from the top), in a 295 feet well of which the top 150
feet in an eight inch hole. It is possible that such
excessive usage, because of the aforementioned leak, has
damaged the pump and affec~dthe recovery rate.
I simply cannot feel that it is my responsibility to
~ail¥ tend the water system and to be constantly check-
lng in and under each house. I do not mind being help-
ful when my knowledge of and experience with the system
may be of some value. I cannot recall any exception
when I have gone to check the system but what I have
located one or more leaks in or under someone's house.
And frankly, I have begun to resent getting blamed per-
sonally when anything goes wrong.
The distribution system does need improvement to allow
each dwelling to be shut off individually. While the
subdivision was approved with knowledge of the existing
system - without stipulations as far as I can detect -
I do feel a responsibility to correct 'this as indicated
in my letter of 19 January 1975.
The leak mentioned above as being found on 24 January,
was discovered, after some insistence on my part that
I be allowed to personally check, under the residence
on lot 6. This property is owned and occupied by
and ~rs~ George Mark.
Very truly yours

In reference to your letter of 8 January 1975, and
to our conference on 13 January 1975, I agree, within
the purview of my responsibility and authority, to
bring the water system of Swanee Slopes Subdivision,

required by your office.
You are aware of my concern about the water situation
in the subdivision, and through my contacts with Mr.

aware on my efforts toward alleviating the present
problem.
As I mentioned during our conference, i did not recall

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Spring supplies two hou,ses. There is a b'ooster,pu,mp at owner's house.
Rest of the system is supplied, by the well. Pump capacity is estimated
at 6 GP~]. This is adequate but, minimal for present eys~em. · .
Spring has a block and concrete structure, but roof is not in good con-
dition. Sorin9 is located, uphill From tho stoar shout 2~~ frnm ol. nnrl~
house. Tho looation is quits satisfactory.
No grout is
:IInllhnHnn has ~o concrete floor end is closer then 150' to three cessoools, provided.
Cesspool south of the well is a~ a higher elevation .
Treile~ and house connections are too close to well.
RECO~IENDATtONS: ,

watertight m~nhole coreco Screened overflow should be installed.
2. ~ellhouss should have concrete floor draining to open outlet 100' f~om

Dear Sir:
Per your request we have reanalyzed the water sample taken
from the Swanee Slopes Subdivision for cyanide. The enclosed
report reflects the lower detection limit ,of 0.04 ppm (rog/l) cya-
nide. No cyanide was detected.
If we can be of any farther asszstance please do not hesitate
to cai1.

Dear ~r. Strickland:
Mr. Robert E. Fleming has instructed me to provide a
design for ~grading the subject water supply System
to meet the requirements of the State's civil action,
n~ber 75~i369F. Attached are the proposed construc-
tion drawings and a s~a~aary of the design parameters
and analysis for your review and approval.
Conszd~ring the extremely sho_~.t time frsz~_e between
now and project completion; I request that you ex-
pedite review. If you have questions or co~mnents
call me at 34,i-6550.
c.c. Mr. Robert Fleming
· ~xisting Condlt~_ons
The info~tation concerning the existing distribution system
was obtained form ~r. Fleming's reeolkeetion for the most
psrt, from visits to the site and from a GAAB approved en~
gineers proposal prepared by Mr. Ronald L. Thiel P.E. in
1972. The existing distribution system is s~own on the
drawings (location estimated).
Additional info~rsation concerning well data was obtained
from the well driller's log prepared by ~r. Bill Sullivan
and from a p~mping test conducted on the well by myself on
April ].9, 1975o According to the well driller's log, the
new well (drilled and test pumped in late 1972 - early
produced 1~ GPM after and 8 hour pszaping period. The pump~
ing test conducted my myself indicated that the recovery
rate or sustained output of the well, after being ptar~ped
down, was ~o~ gpm. The pumping test procedure is outline~
as follows:
1) The valve between the pne~aatic tank and. distri-
bution system was closed at approximately 9:30 a~mo
on 4~19~75 by Mr. Fleming,
2) After disconnecting~the p~p from the existing
200 gal. pne~aatic tank and bypassing flow through
2" and 1.?' plastic pipe, the pt~ap was turned on at
11:50 a.m, After 25 minutes of Fuznping at an esti-
msted rate of 15-16 gpm the water stopped,
3) After closing off the p~amp and allowing a 4 to 5
minute recharge, the pump was again turned on and
the discharge line ran full for 1-~ minutes.
4) The time vol~ae test consisted on allowing a 10
minuteg~'~then p~mping the well and collecting
.~~'~'in 2 - 30 gallon steel dr~s until the
flow ceased. The pumping period lasted about 3
minutes. This process was repeated four times,
5) The average quantity of water collected during the
pumping period,when divided by the 10 minute
charge period plus the pmmping period, is assmned
to be the steady state or maximum recharge, rate of
the well.

2) Maximum " " = 2 x 50 gpcd = 100 gpcd

2) 24 hour water use occurs in 18 hours
3) Ass~e eventual developement of lot 7 as residential
Minim~n desired pressure at residence=20 psi
Storag_~e R~e~uirements

3) Maximum " " =~500 g~d ih 18~hrs=2o32 g~m
4) Maximum hourly " ~ 7500 gpd in 18 hrs ~ 6o~6 gpm
5) Storage required to meet maximmn hourly demand

6) Total volume of pneumatic tank with 10% reserve,

The design is based on the existing condition of the well as
of 4-19-V5. The p~ap and well is capable of supplying the
average and maximum daily demand as calculated based on the
4-19-75 p~mping-test. According to ~r. Roll Strictland of
the G.A.A.B. D.E.Q., the water supply from the subject
well shows no cont~ination to date. The new system will
be disinfected prior to being put into service,
