Hidden Lane Landfill is located to the west of residential properties who are serviced with private water wells in the Broad Run Farms subdivision in Loudoun County, Sterling, Virginia. OU2 addresses exposure of the public to contamination in the groundwater related to past activities at Hidden Lane Landfill. The selected remedy for OU2 is to connect properties whose groundwater wells are currently impacted above the applicable Maximum Contaminant Level, and those properties which may become impacted based on the proximity to the groundwater contamination plume, to an extension of the Loudoun Water supply system.
The objective of this project is to provide public water service (ultimately to be turned over to and operated by Loudoun Water) to approximately 128 residential parcels within the Broad Run Farms subdivision. As part of the ROD OU2, dated 13 June 2019, the accepted Remedial Design includes removal of the groundwater wells as accepted by the individual residents; removal of the existing Point-of-Entry Treatment Systems (POETS) as accepted by the individual residents; installation of 6-inch, 8-inch, and 12-inch ductile iron pipe distribution pipe to service the areas within the impacted area including valves, hydrants, fittings, and blocking; individual residential water meters; disconnection and abandonment as necessary of water service from existing wells with replacement as needed of water service connections between new water service meter and residential connection; expansion tank and backflow preventers as needed to be compliant with International Plumbing Code and Loudoun County requirements; site restoration to original conditions; and all associated testing and permitting requirements.
