All wells will be constructed under the ground behind the building. Borings will be vertically drilled. A review of the construction data indicates that the proposal to construct the well meets the injection well construction criteria in accordance with N.C. State Regulations (Title I5A NCAC 2C), Well Construction Standards. The following items were checked: All the wells will be 3 feet below the ground: well heads and horizontal connecting lines will be 3 feet below the ground. Type of tubing: Polyethylene Grout type: bentonite; grout depth: from 3 feet to 335 feet Chemical additives to be used in closed -loop system: Ethanol We recommend that the Central Office proceed to issue the applicant a permit for geothermal well construction so that the contractor could start construction.
