Dear Mr. Shultz:
ROY COOPER
Governor
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
LINDA CULPEPPER
Interim Director
On August 9, 2018 staff from the Division of Water Resources sampled the source well water and the
water from the geothermal heat pump system prior to injection. The samples were analyzed by the
Division's laboratory for coliform, total dissolved solids, metals, nitrates and other inorganic
constituents. No exceedances of the State Groundwater Standards were observed except for a slight
exceedance for fecal coliform from the source well (however, the laboratory noted a qualifier on this
result). Our recommendation is to shock chlorinate the source well. A copy of this procedure is
enclosed, in addition to the lab results for your review.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please feel free to contact me at (910) 796-7215
or by email at geoff.keRley@ncdenr.Rov.
Sincerely,
DocuSigned by:
