Dear Mr. Cornette:
The Washington Regional Office appreciates your response to our letter dated March 29, 2010,
and, we appreciate your concern for the state's groundwater resources. The details of the
geothermal loop installation activities demonstrate that precautions were taken to avoid any
potential problems. We also share your concern for the lack of buffers/setbacks within the UIC
rules. As you may or may not be aware, the Aquifer Protection Section is in the process of
revising the UIC rules and will be conducting stakeholders' meetings on June 16 and June 23
(the first meeting was held Wednesday, June 9). The Section would appreciate hearing your
concerns regarding the impending changes and how they might affect the industry. Please feel
free to contact me for stakeholder meeting details; or for contact information for Central Office
staff if you are unable to attend and would still like to provide comment.
The homeowner(s) may wish to retain a copy of the final site map showing the location of the
well points, for future reference. The Pitt County Health Department may also be interested in
a copy of the final drawing for their records. The Aquifer Protection Section will consider this

Re.: Zimmer and Collins Residence
Closed-Loop Geothermal
Water-Only Injection Well System
Permit No. WI0700166
Mr. Hart,
-
This correspondence is in response to your March 29, 2010 letter of concern. Attached .
for review are the~orth Carolina Well Construction Records for this project. When we
initially mobilized to the site, we found that the area proposed for drilling could not be
accessed due to heavy vegetation overgrowth. Also, we were informed of a 25' drainage
easement along the back of the property. The homeowner was not sure of its location.
We did have knowledge that the septic system was in the home's back yard. We inquired
as to its location, and the homeowner believed that the system was on the left hand side
of the back yard. We did use a steel probe, but were unable to feel evidence of a septic
system in the area drilled. As such, we made a field adjustment to the loop locations. Both
loops were drilled to 207' deep. Note that both loops were tremmie grouted from the
bottom until the grout flowed from the drilling T, using a Thermex bentonite grout. The next
day, both loops were checked for grout level and topped off as needed. At no time was
septic water or effluent identified during the installation of the loops. After the loops were
installed, excavation for the manifold identified the chamber septic system. We found that
the front right loop was constructed approximately four feet from the closest chamber. The
rear loop was constructed approximately six feet from its closest chamber. It was found
that the system apparently extended under the concrete driveway. Due to the presence
of the chamber system, the manifold was required to be across its top. Both loops were
excavated to approximately two feet deep, then were fusion welded to the manifold. At no
time was any fluid or groundwater present within the excavation. As such, none was
allowed into the closed loop system.

Clean Water. It's What We Do Best!
RECEIVED / DENR / DWQ
AQUIFJ:RPROTFr.TION SF.CTION
MAY 17 2010
May 12, 2010
So in summary:
1. The two closed loops are constructed close to the chamber system. However,
neither is through the system itself.
2. Both loops are tremmie grouted with a bentonite grout from their bottoms to
approximately two to three feet deep, where they are connected to the manifold.
Due to their watertight materials, and well ·grouted construction, neither will allow
for migration of contamination down or into the groundwater beneath the site.
3. The manifold system is above the chamber system and will not act as a preferential
pathway for water migration.
4. No water supply wells were identified within 100' of the loop system.
The wells are throughly sealed using HDPE piping and fusion, and grouted with a
malleable bentonite grout. Abandoning these wells would serve no purpose. Based on
the lack of impact pathways and lack of sensitive receptors, we respectfully request that
no further action be conducted.
We have always been concerned about the lack of setback requirements for Type 5-QW
wells as outlined in NCAC T:15 02C . We have had several conversations about the lack
of these set-backs with WiRO APS staff. We too were concerned about this construction.
As such, the following internal protocols have been implemented to assure that we can and
do maintain some type of set-back from a potential contaminant source, and prevent this
situation in the future:
1. Identify the potential contaminant source prior to mobilizing to the site. If the source
is buried or hidden, such as a heating oil UST or septic system, its location should
be made clear, by staking or flagging, for inclusion on the Notification of Intent to
Construct (NOi).
2. If the source cannot be readily identified, a site specific investigation be conducted
to flag the septic system, UST, etc., prior to actually submitting the NOi. Our
internal work orders will reflect the potential contaminant source so that any field
adjustments can and will take it into consideration by the site driller-in-charge.
3. Any significant adjustment to well locations will be supplied to the NCDENR for
attachment to the site specific well permit.
2
May 12, 2010
We understand and agree with the State's concern, especially with the lack of buffers and
set-backs within the rules. While we believe that this site's construction poses no threat
to human health or the environment, we also understand and strongly believe that
geothermal construction is a rapidly growing market, and has a need for continuing
improvement. We believe that we have learned from this situation, and will be able to
avoid it in the future.
If you have questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to call.

RE: Closed -Loup Geothermal Water -Only Injection Well System ('Type SQtiV)
2182 B Stokes Road
Greenville, Pitt County, NC
Dear Mr. Zimmer and Ms. Collins,
On March 5, 2010 the Washington Regional Office (WaRO) Aquifer Protection Section (APS)
received a report of a well being installed in the septic drainfield at the address referenced
above. Investigation of the report revealed the closed -loop geothermal water -only injection
wells (5QW) had been installed in the perimeter of the septic drainfield. North Carolina
Administrative Code Title 15A Subchapter 2C .0211 (u) (2) (A) states that 5QW wells are
deemed permitted when specific conditions are satisfied. One of these conditions requires that
"The construction of the system shall be completed in such a manner so as to preclude surficial
contaminants from entering the borehole." Additionally, 15A NCAC 2C .0213 (a) (5) specifies
that geothermal wells shall be located the distance necessary from septic drainfields to prevent
migration of contaminants or a violation of groundwater standards. It appears that the
drainfield has been in service for some time, and the WaRO APS is concerned that
contaminants from the drainfield may have been introduced to the subsurface during
construction of the system. We, therefore, request that a demonstration be made, to this office,
that construction of the system did not, or will not, have adverse impact on groundwater
beneath the property. You may utilize any calculations or groundwater modeling that may be
helpful in making this demonstration.
NCAC 15A 2C .0211 (u) (2) (B) states, "The person responsible for the construction of the
injection well system shall submit notification, prior to construction, of construction to the
Division on forms supplied by the Division." The notification requirement was completed;
however, the information submitted to the Division does not appear to be accurate. The system
was not constructed in the location approved by the Division, and this office is concerned. That
the proximity of the geothermal wells to your drainfield may jeopardize groundwater quality.
Please provide justification for the relocation of the system_ The justification should include a
demonstration that the geothermal wells are protective of groundwater quality. The requested
information should be submitted to our office within 45 days of receipt of this correspondence.

Subject: WI0700168 permit info correction
Permit WI0700168, issued to East Carolina University on March 23, 2010, was originally entered as being located in Pitt
County. The well location is in Dare County, off of Skyco Road in Wanchese.
The coordinates for the well are:
Lat: 35 Degrees, 52 Minutes, 22 Seconds North
Long: -75 Degrees, 39 Minutes, 39 Seconds West
I have made as many changes in BIMS as I could from my computer. Some information in BIMS still needs updating.
The drilling of this well began today, March 31, 2010.
