Geothermal Heating/Cooling Water Return Well
Permit No. WI0400308
Watauga County
Dear Mr. Henries:
On March 24, 2021, Jim Gonsiewski of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) collected groundwater
samples from the influent and effluent access points to your Geothermal Heating/Cooling Water Return Well.
The samples were sent to the DWR Central Laboratory in Raleigh, NC for analysis.
The samples were analyzed for fecal coliform, bromide, chloride, fluoride, sulfate, total dissolved solids,
nitrate and nitrite, aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, calcium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt,
copper, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, potassium, selenium, silver, sodium,
thallium, vanadium, and zinc. Laboratory analytical results from the samples did not detect any constituents
above the State of North Carolina 2L (NC2L) groundwater standards.
We appreciate your cooperation in the collection of these samples. If you have any questions, please contact
me at (336) 776-9800 or via email at jim.gonsiewski@ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,
CDDocuSIgnsd by:

N2 There is an indication that the analyte is present, but quality control requirements for confirmation were not met (i.e., presence of s
N3 This code shall be used if the level is too low to permit accurate quantification, but the estimated concentration is less than the labo
N4 This code shall be used if the level is too low to permit accurate quantification, but the estimated concentration is less than the labo
N5 The component has been tentatively identified based on a retention time standard.
P Elevated PQL* due to matrix interference and/or sample dilution.
Q1 Holding time exceeded prior to receipt by lab.
Q2 Holding time exceeded following receipt by lab.
S Not enough sample provided to prepare and/or analyze a method -required matrix spike (MS) and/or matrix spike duplicate (MSD).
U Indicates that the analyte was analyzed for but not detected above the reported practical quantitation limit*. The number value repo
U, J6 The laboratory analysis was from an unpreserved or improperly chemically preserved sample. The data may not be accurate.
UU Indicates that the analyte was not detected by a screen analysis. The number value was determined by a one -point estimation at tt
✓ Indicates the analyte was detected in both the sample and the associated method blank. Note: The value in the blank shall not be s
X1 Sample not screened for this compound.
X2 Sampled, but analysis lost or not performed -field error.
X3 Sampled, but analysis lost or not performed -lab error.
Y Elevated PQL* due to insufficient sample size.
Z1 Inability to analyze the sample.
Z2 Questions concerning data reliability.
