RE: Notification of intent to construct Type 5QW injection wells
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wax:
Alan W. Klimek, P. E. Director
Division of Water Quality
Coleen H. Sullins, Deputy Director
Divis inn of Water Quality
In accordance with the notification you submitted to the Underground Injection Control (UIC)
Program dated March 31, 2004, the Groundwater Section acknowledges your intent to construct
seven closed -ion 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 will not require an injection well permit from
the state, but you should check with your county health department prior to constructing the system
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.
Thant: you for submitting this notification. If you have any questions regarding geothermal heat
pump wells or injection well rules please contact me at (919) 715-6166.
