RE: Notification of intent to construct Type 5QW injection wells
Dear Mr. Sherrod:
In accordance with the notification you submitted to the UIC Program on [date], the
Groundwater Section acknowledges your intent to construct seven closed -loop geothermal water -
only injection wells for the operation of a ground -source heat pump. The system as described in
your notification is deemed permitted by rule {North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A:
2C.0211(u)(2)) and does not require an injection well permit from the state, but you should check
with your county health department as well because they may have additional construction or
permitting requirements for this type of system. If you modify your system at any time,
including the addition of antifreeze, corrosion inhibitors, or any other substances to the
circulating fluid, you must contact the Groundwater Section to verify compliance with applicable
rules.
Thank you for submitting this notification, If you have any questions regarding geothermal heat
pump wells or injection well rules please contact me at (919)715-5155.
Sincerely,
Evan D. Kane, L.G.
