Dear Mr. and Mrs. Schultz:
On January 19, 2022, staff from the Division of Water Resources sampled the influent (source well)
and effluent (prior to injection well) from your geothermal heat pump system. The samples were
analyzed by the Division's laboratory for coliform, total dissolved solids, metals, nitrates and other
inorganic constituents. No exceedances of the State Groundwater Standards were observed except
for iron (Fe). Iron was present in both samples above the State standard of 300 ug/L. Iron is a
naturally occurring metal commonly found in groundwater in this region. A copy of the lab results
are enclosed for your review.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please feel free to contact me at (910) 796-
7215 or by email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
DocuSigned by:
