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. The construction of the injection wells will be as follows: Each well will be drilled 110' deep. 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. Grouting is an important aspect of the installation of a 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. P-r:ec 0': tecyciec Gem✓ 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.

Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Subject: Duke Power Company Geothermal Heat Pump Injection Well Permits Dear Ms. Harmon: Attached are two injection well permit applications and associated details for the instaIIation of closed -loop, geothermal heat pump system injection wells for sites in Lincoln and Gaston Counties in North Carolina. • Duke Power is proposing to install a training/test well, and approximately 300 closed-Ioop injection wells, at the Rock Springs Elementary School on N.C. Highway 16 in Denver, Lincoln County, North Carolina. These wells will serve as a closed -loop heat exchanger for a geothermal (or ground -source) heat pump system planned for installation at the school. These wells will be placed on a minimum 15 feet on -center grid, and bored to approximately 110 feet deep by a typical 4 inch diameter auger. Upon completion of each boring, a 1 inch diameter polyethylene pipe loop will be placed in the boring and charged with water. The boring will then be grouted full -depth with a 18% to 30% bentonite- cement grout. Casings, well screens, and gravel packs are not involved in the construction of these wells. Lateral polyethylene piping will be placed approximately 6 feet below ground and used to provide an interconnection between the wells. The completed system will consist of the buried, closed -loop piping system charged with water for heat transfer, a water -source (water to air) heat pump, and an air distribution system inside the school building. The system will use water only as the heat transfer medium in a completely closed -loop system. At no time will system water be in contact with groundwater, nor will groundwater be withdrawn for use by the system. The training/test well for the Rock Springs Elementary project is planned for installation on April 6, 1995. This boring is being made as a test well for the overall project, and as part of a geothermal heat pump system training program being conducted by IGSHPA 1 •., .! (International Ground Source Heat Pump Association) certified trainers EWBANK & Associates. This test well will serve as one of the production wells for the overall project at Rock Springs Elementary, and will be temporarily capped until the remainder of the wells have been installed. Installation of the remainder of the wells is scheduled to begin April 30, 1995. Duke Power is also proposing to install a training/test well on April 8, 1995 at the future site of Gaston County High School on N.0 Highway 274 in Gaston County, North Carolina. This boring is being made as a test well for a potential geothermal heat pump system for the future high school, and is also being drilled as part of a geothermal heat pump system training program being conducted by IGSHPA certified trainers EWBANK & Associates. The installation details and procedures for this training/test well will be identical to those for the Rock Springs Elementary project, however, this well be drilled to approximately 300 feet deep. Following completion of this test well, the polyethylene piping will be cut off below ground, and the well will be abandoned in accordance with North Carolina state guidelines. Attached are two completed permit application forms and associated site location maps and typical detail drawings. Due to the nature of well installation techniques typically employed for these closed -loop systems, references to "well casings", "screens", "gravel", ti • "monitoring wells", and "injection fluid data" are not applicable. Also please note that the heating contractor for the Rock Springs Elementary project has yet to be named, and that details for the heat pump system will not be available until approximately March 24th. Additional information is also attached from one potential heat pump system supplier. Thank you for your time and assistance with this permitting effort. If you have any questions, please contact me at (704) 875-5937 or Mr. Jim Miller at (704) 382-1462. Furthermore, I believe that Mr. Bob Cheek in your Groundwater Section is familiar with these systems, and is planning to attend the training/test well sessions at Rock Springs Elementary on April bth.

Rule 2C .0213 (d)(1)(A) requires that a well casing be installed which extends from at least 12 inches above land surface to the top of the injection zone. Mr. Jim Miller indicated in the letter dated March 27, 1995 that the previously described injection well construction method would not be possible due to the engineering design of the 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 the regulatory requirements, are as follows: 1. The well will be completely backfilled with a 18 - 30o bentonite-cement grout after installation of the closed -loop piping in the well, as described in the letter dated March 27, 1995 and illustrated in the well construction diagram submitted with the permit application. This construction method will provide an adequate seal and prevent the vertical migration of contaminants by way of the borehole. 2. The fluid to be circulated in the vertical closed - loop heat pump system will be potable water. P.O.

Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Subject: Duke Power Company Geothermal Heat Pump Injection Well Permits Dear Ms. Harmon: Attached are two injection well permit applications and associated details for the installation of closed -loop, geothermal heat pump system injection weIIs for sites in Lincoln and Gaston Counties in North Carolina. L� r 5 cz C.rt `r' Duke Power is proposing to install a training/test well, and approximately 300 closed -loop injection wells, at the Rock Springs EIementary School on N.C. Highway 16 in Denver, Lincoln County, North Carolina. These wells will serve as a closed -loop heat exchanger for a geothermal (or ground -source) heat pump system planned for installation at the school. These wells will be placed on a minimum 15 feet on -center grid, and bored to approximately 110 feet deep by a typical 4 inch diameter auger. Upon completion of each boring, a 1 inch diameter polyethylene pipe loop will be placed in the boring and charged with water. The boring will then be grouted full -depth with a 18% to 30% bentonite- cement grout. Casings, well screens, and gravel packs are not involved in the construction of these wells. Lateral polyethylene piping will be placed approximately 6 feet below ground and used to provide an interconnection between the wells. The completed system will consist of the buried, closed -loop piping system charged with water for heat transfer, a water -source (water to air) heat pump, and an air distribution system inside the school building. The system will use water only as the heat transfer medium in a completely closed -loop system. At no time will system water be in contact with groundwater, nor will groundwater be withdrawn for use by the system. The training/test well for the Rock Springs Elementary project is planned for installation on April 6, 1995. This boring is being made as a test well for the overall project, and as part of a geothermal heat pump system training program being conducted by IGSHPA (International Ground Source Heat Pump Association) certified trainers EWBANK & Associates. This test well will serve as one of the production wells for the overall project at Rock Springs Elementary, and will be temporarily capped until the remainder of the wells have been installed. Installation of the remainder of the wells is scheduled to begin April 30, 1995. Duke Power is also proposing to install a training/test well on April 8, 1995 at the future site of Gaston County High School on N.0 Highway 274 in Gaston County, North Carolina. This boring is being made as a test well for a potential geothermal heat pump system for the future high school, and is also being drilled as part of a geothermal heat pump system training program being conducted by IGSHPA certified trainers EWBANK & Associates. The installation details and procedures for this training/test well will be identical to those for the Rock Springs Elementary project, however, this well be drilled to approximately 300 feet deep. Following completion of this test weII, the polyethylene piping will be cut off below ground, and the well will be abandoned in accordance with North Carolina state guidelines. Attached are two completed permit application forms and associated site location maps and typical detail drawings. Due to the nature of well installation techniques typically employed for these closed -loop systems, references to "well casings", "screens", "gravel", "monitoring wells", and "injection fluid data" are not applicable.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT January 17. 1996 MEMORANDUM TO Arthur Mouberry FROM: Barbara Christian SUBJECT: Stanley Setzer Well Inspection Requests I am writing, in response to Your November 14, 1995 letter to Elmer Newman, in witich you. requested that I follow up with Stanley Setter and then report to you concerninghis requests for well inspections, According to Mr.. Newman's Octobe,r 30 letter to you, Stanley Selzer has indicated that the Moorewille Regional Office as not responsive to his requests for inspections. I agree that Mooresville staff did not inspect either of these two wel.ls, 1 disagree, however. that Mooresville was not responsive, On July 6, _fitly 2.4, and September 21, 1995, Stanley Setter called to discuss with me and Steve Bograd the abandonment of a well located adjacent to the Cleveland County landfill, He stated that he was bidding on a job to abandon the well Stanley reported that. the well was not grouted and a well tag was not present He indicated that he wanted the Mooresville staff to inspect the well and enforce the grout violation, thereby relieving hirn of that :responsibility (as the contractor abandoning the well). Stanley thought that the well was constmeted perhaps by Junior Setzer. Steve Bograd and :I explained that without definitive knowledge of the original well driller, the Mooresville staff could not proceed with enfocernent or even a notice of violation.. We also explained that he could avoid the time and expense of grouting the well by removing the easing Stanley, then asked that I send him a letter explaining the .requirements for well abandonment, so he would have documentation to attach to his bid on the project. which :I did. At the close of our last conversation on this well, and in a follow-up correspondence from Stanley as a result of a clerical mix-up with attachments to my letter. I had every reason to believe that. this case had been resolved to the satisfaction of both ofus, You can be sure I was quite surprised to read about this well in Mr. Newman's letter, During the July 6 telephone conversation between Steve Bograd and Stanley Setter about the well abandonment, Stanley mentioned to Steve that near the landfill he saw a new ‘vell constructed only about 15 feet from a building foundation. The well did not have a driller identification tag Stanley suggested that Steve could inspcct the well when he inspected the landfill well, Since the inspection for the landfill well 'became unnecessary and never took place, the second well likewise was not inspected. Beyondthis brief mention of the second Welt in one conversation (I not remember nor do 1 have record. that Stanley mentioned this welt to me), Steve did not realize that Stan„ley was actually requesting a well. inspection, Stewe did explain our hesitation to inspect a well where the request came from a party other than the well owner, On our own initiative,. we decided to inspect wells drilled on the Crescent .Resources lots this past summer where blanket variances were requested last year. The high degree of resentment and general lack of cooperation shown us by the well owners, has made us just about give up this project. Without the well owner's filll cooperation. we arc very reluctant to inspect a well.. I. apologize that this response is so late in being sent to you, but we did .not receive a copy of your letter until over a rnonth after it was written.. We knew of the existence of the letter only after it had been discussed at a North Carolina Ground Water Association meeting, and was reported to us by a driller who was at the meeting 1 would ask that if you need me to take action and want to include it in a letter., as in this case„ please have someone call me before the letter is sent, That Nvay I know to look for the letter. and can act in a more timely' manner, Thanks, • .

The project, which was begun is August of this year,, in olves'the construction of 96 holes, each approximately 300 .feet deep, for the purpose of Onstallin$ a lelosed loop heat pump system. As we understand it, .this is the first of a number of large scale Oosed loop systenis'that will be installed throughout the state. �t the ci struction of the wells in Which the loop•system will be placed. In view of lis that will be drilled in this and i► similar projects, there is considerable danger ination.' It is our understanding that such holes are included in the definition of ction st 4 ndards. According to the definition, a well is ..."any excavation that is tted, d'p or otherwise constructed for the purpose of locating, testing, developing, any gto ndwater reservoirs or aquifer, or that may control, divert, or otherwise water tram or into any aquifer.° Clearly, any hole that is 300 feet deep can se may rent from or into an aquifer. In fact, one of our members observed one oI prddicing 3 gallons of water per minute. In the Denver area, any hole that's trough lit least one aquifer, most, if not all will pass through more than one.

The types of violations we have cited are serious. They could lead to massive contamination of the ground water. Considering the; urge number of such systems to be installed in North Carolina, we are looting at a potentially. serlona roblem. i It is clear to us that a holes in these systems are wells. !Theymeet the conditions of the definition is the well construction s andar+ds; With this in mind, we haie the following questions: . o Have any of the'we$1s ever been inspected?

If so, who is the driller? i WbQt.varianccas, ff, , htfivv'lseen gtaflted to the d'il1e for donstructipn of the wells? o What permits' were btainO prior to the construction of the wells? In asking these quat , we are especially concerned wi h the issue of enforcement. For that reason, I must mentiOn two qth r wells that have been brought to he attention of a Groundwater Section regional office. Recently, in the same p of the state where the heat pump project is located, one of our members, Stanley Se r, asked the staff of Groundwater. Section's regional office in Mooresville to inspect twa'wells that eemetl to be improperly constructOd. One of the wells was ungrouted and untagged aid was iota ed in an area of known contatnina'tion, i.e., a solid waste dump. That well had been cconstt'ucted in' 1 and Stanley had been asked by the owner to abandon the well so that the dump could be ded.

BotliL the state of North Carolina and the Environmental Protection Agency define injection.We la as "...any excavation... used for the -injection of fluids or solids into the subsurface or gro>ndwaters." Hence, the Well construction standards for water supply ivells (2C, 0107) do not apply.

Unlike the water supply well construction s : dards (2C .0107); he injection well construction standards (2C .0218) do not spe a mini aum dis ance from building footings, thus a variance was not required. 2. Coountrpct;� 'tho t� tie use of ce�mertt gi ut: As recommended by the International Ground So Heat Piamp Association, all of the wells were backfilled with bentonite gro t. As spe ified in the permit request, grout was placed in one continuous operation by umping, beginning at the bottom of the well and continued until it appeared at the gro nd surfae+. The type of bentonite grout used, Benseal, reportedly had the un ticipated problom of substantial settling. This settling produced the appearance of no ut in thi wells. To address this problem the wells have been topped off with more gro t. This characteristics and amount of settling of Benseal has been' investigated by UIC 1 P O.
