Subject: Notification of Rule Revisions Affecting
Closed-Loop Geothermal Injection Well Permit Holders
Pennit Number: WI0800 0 11
To Whom it May Concern:
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 http://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 (919) 807-6464.

Several years ago we had a lot of trouble with this system when the homeowners refused to renew the permit, and we
actually had to enforce. We were recently in that .neighborhood and inspected the well at that time. Therefore, I don't
think we need a return visit to this closed loop system at this time.

Dear Mr. Sanders:
Thank you for contacting the Division of Water Quality's Underground Injection Control (UIC)
Program on October 5, 2004, about renewing the injection well permit for operation of the closed loop
mixed fluid geothermal heat pump system (Type 5QM) serving the Demarest Neighborhood
Association's clubhouse. Attached you will find a copy of the original permit application submitted on
behalf of Mr. Scott Stewart and a copy of the original permit for the Association's files.
In addition is attached a list of North Carolina installers accredited with the International Ground Source
Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA), a reputable group that promotes geothermal heating and cooling
technology. This list does not constitute endorsement of any individual or company listed, but is being
provided for informational purposes only. You may want to contact any of these listed or others for
consultation regarding maintenance and service of the Demarest Neighborhood Association's heat pump
system. In general, routine maintenance might include monitoring any pressure gauges, which might aid
detection of any leaks in the closed loop plumbing.
Again, thank you for helping bring this injection well system into compliance by applying for renewal of
the injection well permit referenced above. The UIC Program looks forward to receiving your
application. Please contact me at (919) 715-6166 or Evan Kane at (919) 715-6182 if you have any

potassium K Metallic element of atomic number 19,
group IA of the periodic system; an alkali metal.
Atomic weight 39.102; valence I- Potassium 40is a
naturally occurring radioactive isotope. There are
also two stable isotopes. The synthetic isotope,
potassium 42, is used in tracer studies, primarily in
medicine. An essential element in plant growth and
in animal and human nutrition; occurs in all soils.
Properties: Soft, silvery metal; rapidly oxidized in
moist air. Sp. gr. 0.862, m.p. 6P C; b.p. 7701 C.
Soluble in liquid ammonia, aniline, mercury. and

a re.carnailite, sylvite, and polyhaIite. The rm ochcm-
ical distillation of potassium chloride with sodium is
the chief U.S. method of production.
Grades: Technical; 99.95% pure.
Hazard: Dangerous fire risk; reacts with moisture to
form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen. The reac-
tion evolves much heat causing the potassium to
me It and spatter. It also ignites the hydrogen. Burning
potassium is difficult to extinguish; dry powdered
soda ash or graphite or special mixtures of dry
chemical is recommended. It can ignite spontane-
ously in moist air. Moderate explosion risk by
chemical reaction, Potassium metal will Form the
peroxide and the superoxide at room temperature
even when stored under mineral oil; may explode
violently when handled or cut. Oxide -coated pota _
sium should be destroyed by burning. Store in inert
atmospheres, such as argon ❑r nitrogen, or under
iiouids which are oxygen -free, such as toluene or
kerosene, or in glass capsules which have been filled
under vacuum or inert atmosphere.
Uses: Preparation of potassium peroxide; heat ex,
change alloys (See NaK); laboratory reagent; seeding
of combustion gases in magueIohydrodynamic gene-
rators; component of fertilizers (as KCI).

AQUAGUARD TM
One -Sack Borehole Grouting and Plugging Material
AQUAGUARD is an easy to use bentonite grouting composition containing high -yield
sodium montmorillonite clay. It is designed for grouting water wells and monitoring
wells, for sealing the annular space around a well casing, and for plugging abandoned
wells and other earthen bore holes. AQUAGUARD does not contain any organic
additives or polymers.
AQUAGUARD, a one -sack formulation, mixes with fresh water to yield a pumpable,
high -solids grouting slurry with an extended working time. When allowed to set, ' the
grouting slurry yields a good seal with low hydraulic conductivity ano adequate structural
stability. When properly placed, AQUAGUARD will remain flexible, rehydratable and
unstratified through heating and cooling cycles.
Recommended Uses:
+ Sealing and grouting of plastic and steel casings
• Sealing of downhole instrumentation in test and
observation holes
• Sealing conductor pipe in drilling operations
Sanitary sealing in water well construction
* Sealing in monitoring well constructions
■ Plugging to abandon exploration boreholes
• Lost circulation control - sealing ability in vugs
and fractures can be enhanced by addition of size -
graded MICATEV (mica)
Major Advantages:
■ 100% inorganic, non -fermenting, and non -toxic
• Develops high -solids slurries up to 30% total
active solids
■ Slurry weight 10.1 lblgal with hydrostatic
gradient 0.5252 psi per foot (psifft)
■ Easy one -sack, dust -free mixing
• Mixed and handled with most conventional rig
equipment
• Very low hydraulic conductivity (permeability)
seal: K = 1 x 10"-a cm/sec or lower
• Permanent, flexible seal prevents commingling of
aquifers and entry of contaminants from the
surface
• Self -healing and reconstitutable; not subject to
permanent shrinking, drying out or cracking
• No heat of hydration, no damage to plastic casing
due to temperature elevations
• Extended working time controlled by grout solids
content
• Firm texture providing structural stability after
grout set
Recommended Application Procedures:
AQUAGUARD should be mixed with fresh water to
obtain maximum results. The recommended mixing
rate is a 50 lb sack of AQUAGUARD with 14
The grouting and plugging materials and techniques descnbed in this product
data sheet are patent pending within the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office.
t
,. gallons of water to make a 30% active solids slurry
with mud weight of 10.1 lb/gal or 75.5 lb/cu ff
tspecific gravity: 1.212). The viscosity and
consistency of mixed grout slurry may be adjusted to
meet equipment or hole constraints by adjusting the
amount of water used to obtain varying solids
content.
The following tables list attainable AQUAGUARD
slurries at various solids concentrations including
estimated working time and yield volume.
Mixing Procedures:
1) To 28 gallons fresh water, add two sacks

be 15 to 20 seconds per 50 pound sack.
2) Do not over mix. After completely adding
AQ_UAGUARD, the slurry will look like thick
batter with unyielded or partially hydrated
bentonite lumps. The slurry will weigh 10.1
lb/gal and contain 30% active solids.
NOTE: After the slurry is mixed, additional solids
such as lost circulation materials or weighting
materials can be added for a specific · purpose or
application .
3) Pump the slurry -·down tremie -pipe at this
consistency. Once placed, the bentonite lumps
will continue to hydrate and sweIJ, exerting
additional pressure against casings and borehole
formations.

Inspections
Each LPK is factory tested to
assure proper leak -free operation.
At delivery, inspect each carton for
freight damage. if any damage is
discovered, note on the shipping
papers and file a claim with the
freight company.
Installation
Please read and follow these
instructions regarding proper
installation and operation.
Afl installation must be done in
accordance with local codes. if no
local code applies, national codes
should be followed. It is the
contractor's responsibility to know
and adhere to all applicable codes.
Locate the LPK as close to the heat
pump as possible. The LPK can be
mounted horizontally or vertically
on the heat pump or wall. Do not
mount the LPK on a horizontal
surface. if heat pump mounting is
desired, check inside the heat.
pump for component locations
before drilling and use a sound/
vibration deadening material
between the LPK and mounting
surface to prevent noise.
The earth coupling pipe should
terminate as close to the heat
pump as possible. Fifteen feet of
one -inch reinforced flexible hose is
provided with each unit The one -
inch MPT by one -inch barb fitting
can be removed from the three-
way valves the earth loop pipe can

Figure 7 -- LPK Installation
The hoses may need to be
supported to prevent close bends
or crimping of hose. Ciose bends
increase piping -head losses. Use
the clamps provided to attach
hoses to the LPK and PIT port
barbed fittings.
'.
On units. having one -inch F'PT brass
swivel quick connections, the one -
inch MPT adaptor with PIT ports
can be hand -tightened and then
with a wrench turned
approximately 112 additional turn.
Care must be taken. to avoid over -
tightening, which may dislodge the
snap ring. A pipe gasket material
must be used with a backup
wrench on units with one -inch FPT
copper adaptors. Permatex .14D is
recommended.
The LPKA connects to the 115-volt
terminal block as shown in Figure 2.
The LPKB connects to the 230-volt
contactor as shown in Figure 3.
The LPKA and LPKB require a feld-
instaked 6 amp in line fuse and
holder. Refer to the equipment
catalog to determine which pump
kit should be used.

Filling the
System
Even though the earth coupling has
been filled during installation,
additional water will be required to
completely fill the system.
1 i Filling the System -- refer to
Figure 4. Attach a water hose to
Port D on Valve 2 and allow it to
discharge into a drain or outdoors.
Attach a second hose from
domestic water source to Port D
on Valve 1. Be sure to bleed all air
from this hose prior to connection.
2) Filling the Ground Loop ---refer
to Figure 4. Using a 3ia rachet
wrench, turn the indicator on
Value 1 to the "B" position. Turn
the indicator on Valve 2 to the "D"
position. Allow the ground loop to
fill slowly by providing a limited
water flow. Occasionally check the
discharge hose. When a steady
flow without air bubbles IS
observed, the ground loop is filled.
Turn Valve 2 to the A' position and
check for leaks.
3) Filling the Heat Pump -- refer
to Figure 4. Using a %-drive racket
wrench, turn the indicator on Valve 2
to the "B" position and valve 1 to the
"D" position. Allow the unit to fill
slowly until a steady flow is
observed, then full open from the
domestic water source, Allow
sufficient time for all air to be
removed from the unit. Turn
Valve 2 to the "A" position_ Allow
the system to pressurize. Check for
leaks. After checking, turn Valve 1
to the A" position. Turn the water
off and remove the hoses.
Purging the
System
All systems must be thoroughly
purged to remove air and debris.
The circulator used in the LPK is
not large enough to blow out
pockets of trapped air. Horizontal
and vertical earth couplings will
require flushing with a high
volume, high head pump. A pump
which can deliver approximately
50 gpm against 60 feet of head
should be suitable for systems
rated five -tons or less. Refer to
Table 1 for flow rates required to
purge earth couplings.

Fill a 30-gallon or larger volume,
heavy-duty plastic container as
your water source. The large water
volume is necessary due to the
high gpm flow rates required. A
small volume of water recirculates
so rapidly that it does not allow
small entrained air bubbles to
separate -and rise to the surface.
Pump suction should be near
the bottom of the barrel. A suction
line strainer should be used to
prevent sediment or debris
discharged into the barrel from
being returned to the system.
Connect the pump discharge hose
to Valve 1. Connect the return hose ·
to Valve 2. It is important that the
return hose discharges below the
barrel water level, but not at the
bottom or near the pump suction.
This prevents aeration of the water
which would result in entrained air
being returned to the system.
Monitor the water level during
purging to assure the barrel is kept
at least half-full to prevent drawing
air_ ba9~ i11~9 _th_~ systen:)_. _
Purge the heat pump and then the
ground loop until no air bubbles are
observed leaving the return hose.
This may take 20 to 30 minutes.
Simply remove the original

Under no circumstance, should
you use the row temperature

Caution: Never disconnect the
freezestat if a unit is cutting off due
to low water temperature. The low
temperature freezestat must never
be used on a fresh water system
since its trip setting is below the
freezing point of water.

3) Purging Check -turn Valve 1 to
the "C" position. Leave Valve 2 in
the "P:' position with the purge
pump running. If the water level
falls in the water container, air is
being compressed, indicating
inadequate purging. If this is the
case, turn both valves to the "P:'
position and turn off the pump.
Keeping both hoses full, reverse
them on Valves 1 and 2. Repeat
Steps 1 and 2. When purged, turn
Valve 2 to the "P:' position and
repeat the purging check. Repeat
purging if necessary. When purging
is completed, put a pressure gauge
in the P/T port, charge the system
to a minimum of 30 psig during
hot weather or 45 psig during cold
weather, and turn Valve 1 to the
"M' position. Turn off the pump.
Low Temperature Freezestat
Low temperature closed loop
systems require antifreeze addition
and a low temperature freezestat.
to protect down to 20 F loop
temperature when using an
antifreeze addition: ·
methanol -12 percent,
propylene glycol -17 percent,
GS4 -25 percent.
Do not exceed these
recommendations. Do not, under
any circumstances, add automatic
make-up water. Use only full
strength heat transfer fluid.
Calculate the approximate volume
of water in the system by using the
information in Table 1. Add three
gallons to your total as an ·
allowance for the water in the heat
pump and connection hoses.
If additional pressure is required,
connect a garden hose completely
purged full of water to Valve 1.
Turn the water full open and bleed
any additional air by cracking the
hose connection at Port D. After all
air is removed from the hose, turn
Valve 1 _ to the "C" position and
watch the pressure gauge until the
pressure has reached the 30 to 50
psig range. Turn Valve 1 back to
the "P:' ·position · and replace the
one-inch MPT plugs. Turn on the
heat pump and run it approximately
20 minutes. This will allow the heat
transfer fluid to properly mix and
the system to stabilize. Then fill out

and one thermometer, check the
temperature difference between ·
the water-in and water-out ·
connections. In the cooling m9de,
the tempera~ure rise should be
between ''9 F to 12 F. A
temperature:rise significantly higher
than 12 F indicates low flow. In the
heating mode, th~ ter:nperature
drop should be approximately 5 F ·
