Closed-Loop Geothermal Injection Well Permit Holders
PermitNumber: WI0100143
Dear Mr. Nilsson:
Dee Freeman··-
Secretary
Our records indicate that you currently hold a permit for a closed-loop geothermal injection well
system. This letter is to inform you that on May 1, 2012, the North Carolina Administrative
Code Title ISA Section 2C .0200 entitled "Well Construction Standards -Criteria and
Standards Applicable Injection Wells" were revised. These revisions affect all permits issued
for injection wells including geothermal wells.
This letter is also to inform you that your closed-loop geothermal injection well(s)·have become
"permitted by rule." Therefore, you are no longer required to renew your current permit
and the permit will be valid indefinitely as long as the wells are active and are operated in
accordance with the revised rules referenced above. Please keep in mind that if you abandon
the wells, a record of abandonment must be submitted to the Division of Water Quality. You
may view the revised rules on our website at http ://p ortal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ap s.
If you have any questions regarding your current permit or the rule revisions, please feel free to
contact our underground injection control staff at [phone].
Sincerely,
Eric G. Smith, P.G.

I do,n't believe a site visit is nei::essary, I spoke with the HVAC contractor and he said that the septic system is about 80 -
feet from the well field at its closest point. I also asked if there was going to be any sort of drainage in the back of the
home that might be in the well fie ld and he said there was not.
