This permit number for construction and operation of 80 Type 5QW injection wells was originally
issued in July 1996 and due to expire in August 2001. Effective February 1, 1997, this type of
injection well is deemed permitted by rule and no longer requires a permit.
On this date the record for this permit was removed from the UICfile database, which keeps track of
injection wells that need permits, and added to the 5QWlist database, which keeps track ofinjection
wells that do not require permits. Likewise, the paper file was moved to a drawer that stores 5QW
injection well files.

The Permittee shall, at least six (6) months 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 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 15 NCAC 2C .0113, Well Construction Standards.
2. When operations have ceased at the facility and a well will no longer be used for any
purpose, the Permittee shall abandon that injection well in accordance with the procedures
specified in 15 NCAC 2C .0214, including but not limited to the following:
(A) All casing and materials may be removed prior to initiation of 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.
PAGES OF7
(G) The Permittee shall submit a Well Abandonment Record (Form GW-30) as
specified in 15A NCAC 2C .0213(h)(l) within 30 days of completion of

Groundwater Section -UIC Staff
DEHNR-Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29578
Raleigh, NC 27626-0578
PART X -OPERATION AND USE SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. The fluid to be recirculated in the vertical closed-loop heat pump system shall be
potable water.
2. The material used to make up the heat exchange loop must be composed of high-
density polyethylene or polybutylene pipe.
3. The high-density polyethylene or polybutylene pipe must be thermally fused according
to the manufacturer's specifications and must not leak after assembly.
4. Upon completion of drilling of each well, the closed-loop pipe must be installed and
grouted without delay due to the cave-in potential of the uncased hole.
5. A high-solids bentonite slurry composed of twenty to thirty percent (20-30%) by
weight solids must be used as grout and must be emplaced from bottom to top of the
well in a continuous operation through a pipe lowered to the grouting point.
6. The full length of the hole shall be grouted.
7. The diameter of the hole must be of sufficient size to allow placement of the pipe and
of a pipe to emplace the grout. The grout must fill the hole and surround all pipes.
8. When the closed-loop heat exchanger is removed from service, the pipes must be
filled with a high-solids bentonite slurry.

ATTACHMENT I
PERMIT NO. WI0400015 Sensing ports
The injection facility design incorporates 80 wells on a 20 by 20 foot grid, each one a closed
loop within a borehole which will extend from a depth of 5 feet below ground level to a depth
of 255 feet (variance) and which will be grouted from bottom to top (full length) with a high -
solids bentonite grout. A trench filled with soil, sand, and/or bentonite will extend from the
top of each borehole to the surface and will contain the lateral lines.

Asheboro, NC
Permit No. WI0400015
Dear Mr. Lassiter:
This is in response to your letter of June 25, 1996 requesting approval of a variance from the
referenced Rule. Rule 2C .0213(d)(l)(A) requires that injection well casing be installed which extends
at least J2 inches above land surface. Your letter indicates that the subject wells can not be
constructed in accordance with this Rule due to the engineering design of the -injection system.
Factors that would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human
health and/or the effective operation of this well, because of not meeting this regulatory requirement,
are as follows:
1. Upon completion of drilling of each well, the closed-loop piping will be installed and
grouted without delay.
2. The annular space of each well will be grouted full length from bottom to top with a high-
solids bentonite slurry. The grout will be emplaced in a continuous operation through a pipe
lowered to the grouting point. This construction method will provide an adequate seal and
prevent the vertical migration of contaminants by way of the borehole.
3. The fluid to be circulated in the vertical closed-loop heat pump system will be potable water.
4. The proposed flush mount construction will provide for adequate protection of the well
head.

Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my
finding that the combination of factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for
approval of variance from ISA NCAC 2C .0213 (d)(l)(A) as defined in ISA NCAC 2C .0118. On
that basis, and with the additional requirement that you notify the Winston-Salem Regional Office
at (910) 771-4600, at least 24 hours before any well construction activities are begun, the requested
variance from Rule 15A NCAC 2C .0213(d)(l)(A) is hereby granted.
The granting of this variance does not affect any of the other requirements of the WELL
CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules.

Re: VARIANCE TO NORTH CAROLINA WELL
CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS,
Title 15 A NCAC2C.0200,
Criteria and Standards Applicable to
Injection Wells
Site Address:
Dear Mr. Cheek:
Randolph County EMC Headquarters
CIosed Loop Heat Pump System
McDowell Road
Asheboro, North Carolina
We request a variance to 15A NCAC2C.0213 (d)(1)(A) which requires that a well casing be
installed which extends from at least 12 inches above land surface to the top of the injection
zone. The injection well construction criteria described in Rule 2C.0213 (d)(1)(A) will not be
possible due to the engineering design of the vertical closed -loop heat pump system.
Eighty (80) wells will be drilled to 255 feet deep each via 6-inch diameter downnofe hammer.
The grout pipe method recommended by the International Ground Source Heat Pump
Association (iGSHPA) will be followed. The closed -loop ground heat exchanger (GHEX) loop
is immediately inserted into the bore hole. Grout is placed in one continuous operation by
pumping, beginning at the bottom of the zone being sealed and continued until it appears at
the ground surface.
Mr. Bob Cheek, s ·upervisor
June 25, 1996
Page 2
Grouting is-an important aspect of the installation of GHEX when used with a ground-source
heat pump system. Not only will it provide the proper heat transfer between the GHEX and the
ground necessary for the most efficient operation of the ground source heat pump system but
it will also provide groundwater protection.
This method of construction will prevent any fluids from entering the injection well at the surface
because all well heads will feed into a closed loop system· that is underground and out of view
from the system users.
Please contact me at (864) 288-1986 if you have questions or need additic;mal information.
