subcontracted by Mr. Tate Rust of Singlelon Heisting & Air (41)0 Valleydale Rd., Charlotte, NC. 28214) to dill ? wells fora residential closed -
loop geothermal inatellation an the Walt side of Lake Normand. An atr•rotary rig wee initiollyv dispatched but found that Conditions dictated mud
drilling to be necessary. That equipment was dispatched and the work aompteted by driller Randy Phillips (NC 12200) from our then
Moresvide, NC. Office. That office was later mowed to Statesville in
2002 and later closed in August of 2007.
To date we have been unable to locate the GW'lfor this address though believe a copy would have been mailed to the contractor and DENR
upon payment for the work. Mrs have been in canted with the oriHer {her, Phillips no longer works tor our company). Although Mr. Phillips
recalls doing the work he does not remember the number of bores. litf,o oily etc. we feel necessary to accurately complete and submit a Gw.-1
for mail work. Wo will however continue to scarce Simmons archives to obtain the Inforrnetton you request.
Ifyou have any questIone about this matter
please call Stephen Brooks at (540) 254.2289.

complying with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances, which may be
imposed by other local, state, and federal agencies, which have jurisdiction. Furthermore,
the issuance of this permit does not imply that all regulatory requirements have been met.
PART IV -PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The injection facility shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there
is no contamination of groundwater, which will render it unsatisfactory for normal use. In
the event that the facility fails to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions or failure of the injection zone to adequately assimilate the injected fluid, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including those actions that may be
required by the Division of Water Quality such as the repair, modification, or abandonment
of the injection facility.
2. The Permittee shall be required to comply with the terms and conditions of this permit
even if compliance requires a reduction or elimination of the permitted activity.
3. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface or groundwater resulting from the operation of this facility.
PART V -OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The injection facility shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. The Permittee must notify the Division and receive prior written approval from the
Director of any planned physical alterations or additions in the permitted facility or activity
not specifically authorized by the permit.

take such immediate action as may be required by the Director.
PART VIII -PERMIT RENEW AL
The Permittee shall, at least 90 days prior to the expiration of this permit, request an
extension.
PART IX-CHANGE OF WELL STATUS
1. The Permittee shall provide written notification within 15 days of any change of status of
an injection well. Such a change would include the discontinued use of a well for
WI0500172 Page5
injection. 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 15A NCAC 2C .0213(h)(l), Well Construction
Standards.
2. When operations have ceased at the facility and a well will no longer be used for any
purpose, the Perrpittee shall abandon that injection well in accordance with the procedures
specified in 15A NCAC 2C .0214, including but not limited to the following:

abandonment procedures if the Director finds such 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 froin 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 10 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.
(G) The Permittee shall submit a Well Abandonment Record (Form GW-30) as specified in
ISA NCAC 2C .0213(h)(l) within 30 days of completion of abandonment.
3. The written documentation required in Part IX (1) and (2) (G) shall be submitted to:

Qu (you must tell me how to pronounce your name ... it is fascinating)
I asked that a copy of what you were sent be provided to me by our
project manager. As it turns out, I was not the signator on what you
were sent. They misunderstood the protocol and had our Finance Director
sign it in my absence. I have asked that they produce another signature
sheet and have the County Manager sign it. That will get it underway
for you in a timely manner. In the future, I will send along the letter
of authorization for my signature when I sign so there won't be reason
for pause. Thanks for working with us on getting this moved on through
the process. Have a good day.
FYI, our new County Manager is Laura Blackmon. You may still have on
record John Link, who was our manager who retired in August 2006.

I'll get you either a letter of authorization from our new manager or
I'll have her re-sign the permit. My authorization came from our
previous County Manager that retired in August. In the meantime, can
you please continue reviewing the permit? Hopefully, I can get it to
you by the end of the week or first of next. Many thanks .
