16 River Run
Asheville, NC: PIN 972163932100000
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sands:
On September 19, 2018, the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Resources (DWR)
received a request, submitted on your behalf, for a variance to the North Carolina Well
Construction Standards, specifically Rules 15A NCAC 02C .0222(e)(5)(A) and (D). The variance
request is for the construction of two(2)geothermal aqueous closed-loop wells to be constructed
at 16 River Run, Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. Based upon the information
provided by AAA Sweetwater Well and Pump, Inc., it is my finding that the factors specified are
sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A NCAC 02C .0241.
The granting of this variance is for the location of the wells with respect to the building
foundation and sewage or liquid-waste transfer facilities and in no way relieves the owner or
agent from other requirements of the applicable North Carolina Well Construction Standards
(15A NCAC .0222), or any applicable law, rule, or regulation that may be regulated by other
agencies. If you are dissatisfied with this decision, you may commence a contested case by filing
a petition under G.S. 150-23 within sixty (60) days after receipt of the decision.
