Dear Mr. & Mrs. McWilliams:
The Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program of the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (DWR) is entrusted to protect the groundwater quality and resources of the State of
North Carolina, and is responsible for the regulation of injection well construction and operation
activities within the state. Our records indicate that the above -referenced operating permit for the
geothermal injection well system located on your property at the above referenced address was
issued on January 27, 2015, and expires on December 31, 2020. Per permit conditions and
requirements per 15A NCAC 2C .0224(c), the renewal application must be submitted at least 120
calendar days prior to expiration of the permit if you wish to continue operating the injection well
on your property.
If Your Geothermal Water Return Well is Still Currently Being Used for Injection:
In order to comply with the regulatory requirements listed under North Carolina Administrative
Code (NCAC) Title 15A, Subchapter 2C, Section .0211, you must submit the enclosed renewal
application (Application for a Permit to Construct or Operate Injection Wells — Geothermal
Heating/Cooling Water Return Wells). The form is also available on-line at our website
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/aps/gwpro/permit-applications.
If Your Geothermal Water Return Well is NO LONGER Being Used for Injection:
If the well is no longer being used for injection, you do not have to renew your permit. Check the
box in Part A of the attached renewal application that you wish to rescind the permit and indicate
the current status of the well (i.e., used as water supply well, irrigation well, inactive, plugged and
abandoned, etc.). If it is no longer being used for any purpose, it must be permanently abandoned
according to the regulatory requirements listed under NCAC Title 15A, Subchapter 2C,
