Dale, III c/o Mr. Jesse Marr Brockman Lane Great Falls, Virginia 22066 Dear Mr. Date: July 15, 1985 Re: Section 65, Parcel 2A Mr. Jesse Marr, resident of your property on Brockman Lane, asked for our assistance and recommendation regarding what he believed to be kerosene in the house's well. I visited the site on July 11 with Mr. Marr and agree, based on smell, that there is kerosene or some similar product in the water. The human nose can detect as little as approximately one part per billion of kerosene in water, and it was easily noticeable to me. Private laboratories can formally analyze for the presence and specific amount, if you wish. I personally believe this would be a wasted expense. Mr. Marr reported that the above ground kerosene tank had overturned and spilled several gallons of kerosene two years ago. The tank was repaired, but the kerosene - soaked soil was not removed. There are no other potential sources of kerosene, diesel, fuel oil, etc., near the house. The closest neighbor is 350 feet to the south. The well and oil tank are over soils and rock formed from Triassic sandstone. The top portion of which peres quickly. These rocks generally are oriented in a northeast /southwest direction and slope down to the northwest. They tend to be flat, "shaZey," rocks that are susceptible to water and /or oil movement. The well is 10 to 15 feet west of the oil tank, was drilled 25 or more years ago (around 1962), and probably has no concrete grout, which would prevent contaminants near the surface from entering it.
