RE: Notification of intent to construct Type 5QW injection wells
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Banks:
In accordance with the notification you submitted to the UIC Program dated May 1, 2004, the
Groundwater Section acknowledges your intent to construct 3 closed -loop geothermal water -only
injection wells for the operation of a ground -source heat pump. The system as described in your
notification is deemed perniitted by rule (North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A:
2C.0211(u)(2)) and will not require an injection well permit from the state, However, you should
check with your county health department prior to constructing the system because they may have
additional construction or permitting requirements for this type of system, If you modify your system
at any time, including the addition of antifreeze, corrosion inhibitors, or any other substances to the
circulating fluid, you must contact the Groundwater Section to verify compliance with applicable
rules.
Thank you for submitting this notification. If you have any questions regarding geothermal heat
pump wells or injection well rules please contact meat (919) 715-6166.
