Mitnek, P. E. Director Division of Water Quality Coleen H. Suilins, Deputy Director Division oFWater Quality In accordance with the notification you submitted to the UIC Program on April 13, 2004, the Groundwater Section acknowledges your intent to construct 5 closed -loot? 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.4211(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. Ifyou 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.
