Asheboro, NC Permit No. WI0400015 Dear Mr. Lassiter: This is in response to your letter of June 25, 1996 requesting approval of a variance from the referenced Rule. Rule 2C .0213(d)(1)(A) requires that injection well casing be installed which extends at least 12 inches above land surface. Your letter indicates that the subject wells can not be constructed in accordance with this Rule due to the engineering design of the injection system. Factors that would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human health and/or the effective operation of this well, because of not meeting this regulatory requirement, are as follows: 1, Upon completion of drilling of each well, the closed -loop piping will be installed and grouted without delay_ 2. The annular space of each well will be grouted full length from bottom to top with a high - solids bentonite slurry. The grout will be emplaced in a continuous operation through a pipe lowered to the grouting point. This construction method will provide an adequate seal and prevent the vertical migration of contaminants by way of the borehole. 3 The fluid to be circulated in the vertical closed -loop heat pump system will be potable water. d. The proposed flush mount construction will provide for adequate protection of the well bead.

The injection well construction criteria described in Rule 2C.0213 (d)(1)(A) will not be possible due to the engineering design of the vertical closed -loop heat pump system. Eighty (80) wells will be drilled to 255 feet deep each via 6-inch diameter downhole hammer. The grout pipe method recommended by the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA) will be followed. The closed -loop ground meat exchanger (GHEX) loop is immediately inserted into the bore hole. Grout is placed in one continuous operation by pumping, beginning at the bottom of the zone being sealed and continued until it appears at the ground surface. Mr. Bob Cheek,· Supervisor June·25, 1996 P-age 2 Grouting is· an important aspect of the installation of GHEX when used with a ground-source heat pump system. Not only will it provide the proper heat transfer between the GHEX and the ground necessary for the most efficient operation of the ground source heat pump system but it will also provide groundwater protection. This method of construction will prevent any fluids from entering the injection well at the surface because all well heads will feed into a closed loop system · that is underground and out of view from the system users.
