Sullins · Director June 11, 2010 Dee Freeman Secretary Closed-Loop Geothermal Water-Only Injection Well System (Type 5QW) 2182 B Stokes Road Greenville, Pitt County, NC 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 North Carolina Divis ion of Water Quality 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, NC 27889 Internet: www.ncwaterguali rv.orn Phone: 252-946-6481 FAX 252-946-9215 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer -50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper NirthCarolina lVatural/11 RecE1vEo, oENR, owa Aquifer Protection Section JUN 16 2010 Mr. James L.

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. 1 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.

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.
