3. All underground tubing shall be refrigeration,grade copper tubing.
WI0100052 Page 3
4. Prior to installation, all tubing to"be placed in boreholes ("loops") shall be checked for leaks
by pressurizing the loop to a gage pressure of at least 350 pounds per square inch (psig),
immersing the loop in water and examining it for leaks. Loops with leaks shall not be
installed.
5. Prior to installation, each loop shall be visually inspected for damage such as kinks, dents,
and scrapes. Each loop shall be checked to verify that the nitrogen charge applied to the loop
by the manufacturer before shipping is still present at a pressure of at least 300 psig. The
loop manufacturer shall be notified in the event of damage or pressure loss, and the
manufacturer's instructions shall then be followed. The nitrogen charge may be released
only when the loop is installed and ready to be connected to the manifold.

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 from 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.
WI0100052 Page 7
(G) The Permittee shall submit a Well Abandonment Record (Form GW-30)

Inspection Summary:
Site appears to meet requirements for SQM. No GW-1 for the existing onsite water supply well. Driller was supposed to
submit GW-1 today but has not.Water supply well was constructed properly.Site drainage is very good with no flood
potential. Should probably reiterate 2C requirements in permit if deemed necessary since UIC wells are planned not to be
cased 0.0213(c)(1)(B). Site sketch in application package is no accurate,see attached. Based on new calculations, 6
wells are required instead of 4 as application states.
