(B) The entire depth of each well shall be sounded before it is sealed to insure freedom from obstructions that may interfere with sealing operations. (C) Each well shall be thoroughly disinfected, prior to sealing, if the Director determines that failure· to do so could lead to the contamination of an underground source of drinking water. (D) Each well shall be completely filled with cement grout, which shall be introduced into the well through a pipe which extends to the bottom of the well and is raised as the well is filled. (E) In the case of gravel-packed wells in which the casing and screens have not been removed, the casing shall be perforated opposite the gravel pack, at intervals not exceeding 10 feet, and grout injected through the perforations. (F) In those cases when, as a result of the injection operations, a subsurface cavity has been created, each well shall be abandoned in such a manner that will prevent the movement of fluids into or between underground sources of drinking water and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit.

Yes XNo If yes, please explain: 2. For closed loop heat pump systems, has the system lost pressure or required make-up fluid since permit issuance or last inspection? Yes No If yes, please explain: 3. For renewal or modification of groundwater remediation permits, will continued/additional/modified injections have an adverse impact on migration of the plume or management of the contamination incident? Yes No If yes, please explain: 4. Drilling contractor: Name Address Certification Number 5. Complete and attach well construction data sheet: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Provide any additional narrative regarding your review of the application. Originally the applicant proposed that this heat pump system would use two existing water supply wells situated on the 1231 Sherman Oaks Drive Property. The applicant proposes to use a 190 foot well which was recently constructed to withdraw water from the Pee Dee Aquifer. The applicant proposes to inject the spent water into the second well which is completed in the Castle Hayne Aquifer, 130 feet below land's surface. This older well is of unknown age, but probably was built sometime around 1994 when the land ownership was transferred from a developer to the first homeowner. Because the Division was unwilling to permit a configuration where water from one aquifer would be injected into a different aquifer, it requested that the permit application be modified to have the injection side well set in the 190 foot aquifer. In response the permit application was modified by the applicant to propose construction of a third well extending into the PeeDee Aquifer, which would be used for the injection side of the system. This configuration is acceptable to the Division. 2. Attach well construction data sheet, as needed information is available. Not needed. 3. Do you foresee any problems with issuance/renewal of this permit? Yes X No If yes, please explain: 4. List any items that you would like the APS Central Office to obtain through additional information request. Please provide a reason with each item. 5. List specific permit conditions that you recommend to by removed from the permit when issued. Please provide a reason for each recommendation. 6. List specific special conditions or compliance schedules that you recommend to be included in the permit when issued. Please provide a reason for each recommendation. 8.

Provide any additional narrative regarding your review of the application. This proposed heat pump system would use two existing water supply wells situated on the 1231 Sherman Oaks Drive Property. The applicant proposes to use a 190 foot well which was recently constructed to withdraw water from the Pee Dee Aquifer. The applicant proposes to inject the spent water into the second well which is completed in the Castle Hayne Aquifer, 130 feet below land's surface. This older well is of unknown age, but probably was built sometime around 1994 when the land ownership was transferred from a developer to the first home owner. Presumably the Castle Hayne well was originally constructed for water supply. This well ls situated at a location which is only 12 feet from the existing house foundation. As such, this well would have been non compliant with rules in force in the 1994, which required at least a 25 foot setback from foundations. The more recently constructed PeeDee well is compliant with well construction rules. The current injection well rules do not impose a foundation set back for 5A7 wells and they only require 20 feet of grout. Both these conditions need to be amended in future rule revisions. If a permit is issued for the system as proposed by the applicant, it should have a condition requiring the Castle Hayne well be over- reamed to the Castle Hayne surface an grouted the full length of the existing casing. 2.

Sullins Dee Freeman Director Secretary March 16. 2010 Re: Additional Information Request Injection Well Permit Application W10800184 New Hanover County Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hammersli: After reviewing the referenced permit application and conducting a site inspection our staff identified an item that needs clarification and/or additional information. The permit application cannot be approved as submitted. The proposed injection well (Well #1) will be injecting water into a shallower, separate aquifer from the existing source well (Well #2). The injection well is completed in the Castle Hayne aquifer at 130 feet below land surface and the source well is completed in the Pee Dee aquifer at 190 feet. In order to approve a permit for a geothermal injection well, you must resubmit the application with either: (a.) a new proposed well to be completed in the deeper Pee Dee aquifer at approximately the same depth as the source well at approximately 190 feet; or (b.) the existing proposed injection well must be re -drilled (overreamed) and completed in the deeper, Pee Dee aquifer. Additionally, if any of these options are selected, the injection well, must be grouted the entire length of the casing in order to prevent injected water migrating up outside the well casing to land surface. Please submit your responses with any corrected text pages/figures for insertion into the previously submitted UIC Application within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter. If you have any questions regarding your permit please call me at (919) 715-6166 or email me at Michael.Ro!ers il,ncdenr.gov. Thank you for your cooperation. Best Regards, Michael Rogers, P.G.
