These rules require wells to be located at least one hundred (100) feet from sewage and liquid-waste collection or transfer facilities, including sewer lines, and at least twenty- five (25) feet from building perimeters. The variance request is for the construction of one geothermal supply well on property owned by you, Gerard A. Tetreault, Jr., at 5206 Meadowbrook Drive, Trent Woods, Craven County, North Carolina. In your request, you indicate that due to site features and a lack of separation distance available at the site, the proposed geothermal supply well should be constructed at less than one hundred (100) feet from sewer lines adjacent to the property and less than twenty-five (25) feet from onsite building perimeters. Based upon observations made by Washington Regional Office personnel during a site visit on April 3, 2023, and the information that you have submitted, a variance to the above cited rule is granted. The variance will be effective from the date issued until May 2, 2024. It is my finding that the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A NCAC 2C.0118. A copy of this variance should be attached to the required Well Construction Records (GW-1).
