RE: Notification of intent to construct Type 5QW injection wells
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Frank:
In accordance with the notification you submitted to the UIC Program on June 8, 2004, the
Groundwater Section acknowledges your intent to construct [7] closed-l000 geothermal water -only
injection wells for the operation of a ground -source heat pump at 141 South Permuda Wynd, North
Topsail Beach, NC 28445, in Gnslow County, The system as described in your notification is
deemed permitted by rule (North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A: 2C.421 i (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.
Thank you for submitting this notification. Please contact me at (919) 715-6166 or Evan Kane at
(919)715-6165 if you have any questions regarding geothermal heat pump wells or injection well
rules.
