Subject: Notification of Rule Revisions Affecting
Closed-Loop Geothermal Injection Well Permit Holders
Permit Number: WI0800156
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Scallan:
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 I, 2012, the North Carolina Administrative
Code Title ISA 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 htt p://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ap s.
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) 807-63 00 .
Sincerely,
!I ~

Permit No. WI0800156 Page3
PART II -WELL CONSTRUCTION SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. Prior to constructing the injection well system, the Permittee or his agent shall test the pH of
the soil at a depth of three feet at the planned well location. · If the resulting soil pH is less
than 6 standard units or greater than 11 standard units, the well system shall be equipped with
a compatible cathodic protection system. All testing results shall be kept on site available
for inspection.
2. At least forty-eight ( 48) hours prior to constructing system, the Permittee shall notify the
Aquifer Protection Section's Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program Central Office
staff, telephone number (919) 715-6166 and the Wilmington Regional Office Aquifer
Protection Section Staff, telephone number (910) 796-7269.
3. All underground tubing shall be refrigeration grade copper tubing.
4. Prior to installation, all tubing to be placed in boreholes ("loops") shall be checked for leaks
by pressurizing the loop to a gage pressure of at least 350 pounds per square inch (psig),
immersing the loop in water and examining it for leaks. Loops with leaks shall not be
installed.
5. Prior to installation, each loop shall be visually inspected for damage such as kinks, dents,
and scrapes. Each loop shall be checked to verify that the nitrogen charge applied to the loop
by the manufacturer before shipping is still present at a pressure of at least 300 psig. The
loop manufacturer shall be notified in the event of damage or pressure loss, and the
manufacturer's instructions shall then be followed. The nitrogen charge may be released
only when the loop is installed and ready to be connected to the manifold.
6. Boreholes shall be large enough to allow insertion of the loop plus a tremie pipe for grouting.
7. After insertion of the tubing into the boreholes, an approved grout (as defined in Title 15A
North Carolina Administrative Code 2C .0100) shall be pumped via tremie pipe into the
annular space of each borehole so as to completely fill it from bottom to top.
8. All tubing junctions shall be brazed using lead-free brazing material. The brazing material
shall have a galvanic potential as close as practicable to that of the tubing material.
9. Dry nitrogen shall be circulated through the tubing during brazing to prevent oxidation.
10. After installation and prior to operation of the system, a mechanical integrity test shall be
conducted by pressurizing the injection well system to 400 psig with dry nitrogen and
monitoring for leaks using an ultrasonic or other leak detector of equal sensitivity and
monitoring pressure in the system for at least 2 hours. Alternatively, an equivalent vacuum
test is acceptable. Any pressure fluctuation other than that due to thermal expansion and
contraction of the testing medium shall be considered a failed mechanical integrity test. Any
leaks shall be located and repaired prior to charging the system with refrigerant. This testing
data shall be recorded on the attached Mechanical Integrity Test Record Form and
submitted to the Aquifer Protection Section at least 24 (twenty-four) hours prior to the
Permit No. WI0800156 Page4
. initiation · of the operation of thfr facility for injection. A copy of this form shall also be
retained on-site for inspection.
11 . The location of each of the system manifolds shall be recorded by triangulation from two
permanent features on the site ( e.g., building foundation comers). The Permittee shall retain a
copy of the triangulation records. The Permittee shall also submit a copy of the
triangulation records to the Aquifer Protection Section within 30 days of completion of
well construction.
