PART H - WELL CONSTRUCTION SPECIAL CONDITIONS 1. Prior to constructing the injection well system, the Permittee or his agent shall test the pH of the soil at a depth of three feet at the planned well location. If the resulting soil pH is less than 6 standard units or greater than 11 standard units, the well system shall be equipped with a compatible cathodic protection system. All testing results shall be kept on site available for inspection. 2. At least forty-eight (48) hours prior to constructing system, the Permittee shall notify the Aquifer Protection Section's Underground Injection Control (LTTC) Program Central Office staff', telephone number (919) 715-6166 and the Ashville Regional Office Aquifer Protection Section Staff, telephone number (829) 2964500. 3. All underground tubing shall be refrigeration grade copper tubing. WIOI00048 Page 3 4. Prior to installation, all tubing to be placed in boreholes ("loops") shall be checked for leaks by pressurizing the loop to a gage pressure of at least 350 pounds per square inch (psig), immersing the loop in water and examining it for leaks. Loops with leaks shall not be installed. 5. Prior to installation, each loop shall be visually inspected for damage such as kinks, dents, and scrapes. Each loop shall be checked to verify that the nitrogen charge applied to the loop by the manufacturer before shipping is still present at a pressure of at least 300 psig. The loop manufacturer shall be notified in the event of damage or pressure loss, and the manufacturer's instructions shall then be followed. The nitrogen charge may be released only when the loop is installed and ready to be connected to the manifold. 6. Boreholes shall be large enough to allow insertion of the loop plus a tremie pipe for grouting. 7. After insertion of the tubing into the boreholes, an approved grout (as defined in Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2C .0100) shall be pumped via tremie pipe into the annular space of each borehole so as to completely fill it from bottom to top. 8. All tubing junctions shall be brazed using lead-free brazing material. The brazing material shall have a galvanic potential as close as practicable to that of the tubing material. 9. Dry nitrogen shall be circulated through the tubing during brazing to prevent oxidation. 10. After installation and prior to operation of the system, a mechanical integrity test shall be conducted by pressurizing the injection well system to 400 prig with dry nitrogen and monitoring for leaks using an ultrasonic or other leak detector of equal sensitivity and monitoring pressure in the system for at least 2 hours. Alternatively, an equivalent vacuum test is acceptable. Any pressure fluctuation other than that due to thermal expansion and contraction of the testing medium shall be considered a failed mechanical integrity test. Any leaks shall be located and repaired prior to charging the system with refrigerant. A copy of the ost-installation ressure or vacuum test record Aal_pressure readin ,final -pressure reading, and the duration_ of the test) shall be submitted_ to the Aquifer Protection Section.

If a well is taken completely out of service temporarily, the Permittee must install a sanitary seal. If a well is not to be used for any purpose that well must be permanently abandoned according to 1 SA NCAC 2C .4213 (h)(1), Well Construction Standards. 2. When operations have ceased at the facility and a well will no longer be used for any purpose, the Permittee shall abandon that injection well in accordance with the procedures specified in 1 SA NCAC 2C ,0214, including but not limited to the following; (A) All casing and materials may be removed prior to initiation of abandonment procedures if the Director finds sucb removal will not be responsible for, or contribute to, the contamination of an underground source of drinking water. (B) The entire depth of each well shall be sounded before it is sealed to insure freedom from obstructions that may interfere with sealing operations. (C) Each well shall be thoroughly disinfected, prior to sealing, if the Director determines that failure to do so could lead to the contamination of an underground source of drinking water. (D) Each well shall be completely filled with cement grout, which shall be introduced into the well through a pipe, which extends to the bottom of the well and is raised as the well is filled.. (E) In the case of gravel -packed wells in which the casing and screens have not been removed, the casing shall be perforated opposite the gravel pack, at intervals not exceeding 14 feet, and grout injected through the perforations. (F) In those cases when, as a result of the injection operations, a subsurface cavity has been created, each well shall be abandoned in such a manner that will prevent the movement of fluids into or between underground sources of drinking water and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit.
