Closed-Loop GeothermaUnjection Well Permit Holders
Permit Number: WI0700198
Dear Ms. Purinai:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Our records indicate that you currently hold a permit for a closed-loop geothermal injection well
system. This letter is to inform you that on May 1, 2012, the North Carolina Administrative
Code Title 15A Section 2C .0200 entitled "Well Construction Standards -Criteria and
Standards Applicable Injection Wells" were revised. These revisions affect all permits issued
for injection wells including geothermal wells.
This letter is also to inform you that your closed-loop geothermal injection well(s) have become
"permitted by rule." Therefore, you are no longer required to renew your current permit
and the permit will be valid indefinitely as long as the wells are active and are operated in
accordance with the·revised rules referenced above. Please keep in mind that if you abandon
the wells, a record of abandonment must be submitted to the Division of Water Quality. You
may view the revised rules on our website at htt p://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/aps.
If you have any questions regarding your current permit or the rule revisions, please feel free to
contact our underground injection control staff at [phone].

During the application review, it was noted that the setback between the existing septic drain field and tanks and the
geothermal loop area is a minimum of 25 feet. The setback between the septic drain field and tanks and the
closest well should be 50 feet unless hydrogeologic computer modeling is used to demonstrate the proposed
distance will prevent migration of contaminants or a violation of groundwater standards as per state
regulation 15A NCAC 2C .0213{a)(5) (Part II.2).

Debra,
Going ahead and issuing the Purinai permit is fine with us. Our office did note in our
review that the proposed location for installation of the loops was very close to the septic
system, which is in use. Plans showed that a 25 foot buffer would be maintained to the
septic system. Our office would recommend including language in the permit or cover letter
about maximizing the separation to the septic system, preferably maintaining at least 50
feet.
Thanks

David,
Below is the complaint from a Brian McDonald that we received from Senator Basnight's office.
The letters he uses as examples of concern were WI0700198, a SQM system we got December 1st
and are currently reviewing, and WI0700197, a SQW that he only recently received an
acknowledgement letter for. Below is our response, which hopefully will answer his
questions/concerns.
The reason I'm sending this note to you is that Ted has asked us to go ahead and get
WI0700198 processed as soon as possible. I realize that both of you are just now rece1v1ng
the application, but it needs to go ahead of others. Please call me if you have questions
and we can discuss further. Thanks!! djw

Mr. Brian McDonald sent Senator Marc Basnight's office an email concerning the processing of
applications for closed loop geothermal heat pump systems. Brian McDonald is a heat pump

systems with additives in Dare County over the past three years. In his complaint to Senator
Basnight, Mr. McDonald attached the following letters:
1) A copy of an acknowledgement letter for a notification for intent to construct a closed
loop geothermal heat pump, water only (SQW). This type of system is permitted by rule, which
only requires that a citizen submit a notification where the system is being installed. An
acknowledgement letter is· not required before construction can begin.

Michael;
Based on the site diagram, I see the following issues:
1. Proposed minimum set-back to septic system drainfield is only 25 feet. Setback to septic tank also looks to be
less than 50 feet. The site is nothing but pure sand. The house is in place and existing so the septic system has
been in use. At 25 feet, drilling will be taking place in an area that's probably been impacted by the septic
system. If there's a grouting issue with the loops, the close proximity to the septic system could present a
problem. Also, there's a house just to the north of this one right on the property line with the septic system in
the back yard. It's going to be a factor too.
2. When the utility easement is factored in, there's only a 15 foot strip beside the existing house to work in for
installation of the wells. I know the neV✓ 2C .0200 rules haven't been adopted, but I like the 15' buffer that's
required in them. At this site, the wells would have to be installed up very close to the house.
This project is of concern. I don't know if we would gain any more from a site visit than looking at the aerial photo on
the internet. I wouldn't recommend issuance of this permit unless 50 feet can be maintained between the closest point
of all septic systems (at the subject site and the neighbor's house to the north) and the wells are somewhere around 14
1
feet off the house. Let us know if such conditions can be included in the permit. If not, 1Ne wish to conduct a site visit
before proceeding.
Thanks

2) A copy of an acknowledgement letter for an application for a closed loop geothermal heat
pumps with an additive (SQM). Mr. McDonald submitted his most recent application December 1,
2010. He received our standard permit acknowledgement letter for all permit types that
indicates "processing permit applications can take as long as 60-90 days after the receipt of
a complete application." Although this time frame indicates the maximum processing time, the
state average for the past two years has been 37 days, which includes time spent waiting for
any additional information such as maps where the system is located. Upon reviewing our
database concerning Mr. McDonald's applications, his applications were processed on average
of 23 days.
In an effort to improve processing times for all geothermal heat pump systems, DWQ has
already proposed rule revisions to permit these systems by rule. This will result in a
citizen submitting notification prior to construction of any geothermal system versus
applying for an individual permit.
We regret any concerns our acknowledgement letter may have caused. In addition, we apologize
for any delays Mr. McDonald may have experienced. If Mr. McDonald has further concerns, he
can call the unit supervisor, Debra Watts, at 919-715-6699.

Subject: Renewable energy permits
Marc,
We are having a tough time getting permits from NCDENR to install closed loop geothermal heat
pump systems.
NCDENR is taking 60 to 90 days to permit closed loop geothermal heat pump ground loops with
anti freeze.
This is hindering installation of the renewable energy technology.
Who wants to be without heat for 60 to 90 days waiting on paperwork that should take no more
than 24 hours?
It takes almost 30 days to get a permit for the water only closed loops.
4
I have attached copies of two letters to document the situation.
This is just not working to provide jobs to NC residents or help to improve the economy.
If a homeowner wants to take advantage of the renewable energy tax credit this is stopping
them in a lot of cases due to the extreme length of time to receive the permit.
It generally takes less than a week to get a permit ~o build a house; why does it take so
long to get a ground loop permit?
It should be no more than 24 hours turn around from application to approval.
Is there anything your office can do to help expedite the situation?
I can be reached at my office [phone] if I can be of assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
[cid:image001.jpg@01CBA67C.4ASE9860]
