Sullins Director 4/28/2009 Subject: Acknowledgement of Intent to Construct Type SQW Injection Well System PermitNo. WI0800166 312 Club Colony Drive Atlantic Beach, NC 28512 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Reynolds: Dee Freeman Secretary In accordance with the application submitted to the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program that was received on 4/13/2009, the Aquifer Protection Section (APS) acknowledges your intent to construct a closed-loop geothermal water- only injection well system for the operation of a ground-source heat pump located at 312 Club Colony Drive, Atlantic Beach, Carteret County, NC 28512. This system is deemed permitted by rule (North Carolina Administrative Code Title l SA, Subchapter 2C, Section .021 l(u)(2)). However, it is recommended that you contact the Carteret County Health Department, as 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 APS to verify compliance with applicable rules. Thank you for submitting this notification. If you have any questions please call me at (919) 715-6166.

We are planning to install a water only vertical closed loop geothermal heat exchanger but we can't get the required 50' clearance from the septic system. We are asking for a variance from the 50' rule to be able to install the vertical loop. We will be using Wyoben-Thermex grout and grouting the entire borehole from the bottom using a piston typed grout pump. There are no known potable water wells in the vicinity and all houses are connected to a public water system. I have enclosed a NC form 5-QW wells, a submittal on Wyoben-Thermex Grout and two plot plans. A prompt reply would be greatly appreciated because the house is dried in and soon the HVAC decision will be holding up construction.

Its elevated thermal conductivity and low permeability allow for excellent heat exchange while protecting groundwater supplies. THERM -EX GROUT PLUSshould be pumped using a positive displacement pump capable of generating pressures in excess of 300 psi. Developed using high swelling Wy oming Bentonite, this new generation of grouting material offers efficient installation of closed -loop geothermal heat pump systems.

Use locally available dry silica sand. For best results, use sand ranging in size from 30 mesh to 70 mesh (AFS GFN particle size classification38 to 50). Mix as follows: 1.13 Btulhr--fl- F 1.2 Btulhr--ii- F Water 21 gat 22 gal THERM -EX GROUF' PLUS 1 — 501b bag 1 —so lb bag Silica Sand 350 lb 400lb Add the THERM -EX GROLe PLUSto the water while agitating. Mix for approximately one minute, then add the sand. Agitate until the sand is uniformly dispersed and pump into place using a tremie line. For best results, place the tremie line near the bottom of the loop and pump into place. Providing local regulations allow, slowly extracting the tremie line as you come up the hole reduces pump pressure, aids the gout in setting quicker, and reduces the opportunity for formation damage. To increase work time for deep sets, y ou may add THINZ-IT* to the make-up water. Addition rates may vary, but generally 2 ounces to make-up wateryidds the desired results.

Sullins Director April 22, 2009 Subject: Variance for Geothermal Well Placement 312 Colony Drive Atlantic Beach, NC Carteret County Dear Mr. Reynolds: Dee Freeman Secretary The Division of Water Quality received your request for a variance to separation requirements for a set of5QW geothermal wells to be installed at your Emerald Isle property referenced above. Your contractor, Michael Hadley of Climate Control Heating and Cooling Company, Inc. of Jacksonville, North Carolina, requested the variance. The variance is necessary because lot size limitations require that the wells be installed in proximity to an existing septic system. After review you notification documents and drawings, and after discussions with Mr. Hadley about his drilling technique, I am comfortable that the location and construction of the wells in proximity to the septic system will not compromise groundwaters of the state. Therefore, the Division of Water Quality honors your request and gives this variance for construction of the wells as authorized under 15A NCAC 2C.0215. Should you have further questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call me at (910) 796-7218. Yours very truly,. ep� Charles F. Stehman, Ph.D., P.G.

As you will see, you should have been copied on this letter. Let me know if it does not arrive in you office. In my opinion, the mud rotary method the driller proposes to use will protect the Castle Hayne Aquifer. Accordingly to Mr. Hadley, the ❑erochers decided not to install a system and their application should have been withdrawn. Thus, there is no letter pertaining to their application. Charlie Stehman 1
