RE: Variance Request to Rule 15A NCAC 2C .0107(a)(2)(H) —
Separation distance between an Irrigation well and Other sewage
and liquid waste collection or transfer facility.
Well Variance Permit #WV0300118
10036 Strike The Gold Lane, Waxhaw
Union County
Dear Ms. Vander Voort,
On June 1, 2022, the Mooresville Regional Office received the completed written request for a variance to
the well construction rules, specifically rule 15A NCAC 2C.0107 (a)(2)(H), which specifies a 100-foot
separation from "other sewage and liquid -wastewater collection or transfer facility". The variance request
is for the construction of an irrigation water supply well at 10036 Strike The Gold Lane, Waxhaw, Union
County.
The sewer line location and building limit the well location at the subject site. In order to provide
protection for the groundwater resource, the new irrigation well shall be sited no less than 50 feet from
the referenced sanitary sewer line and no less than 25 feet from the building as shown on the submitted
map denoted as "well area." Based upon the information that has been submitted, a variance to the
above -cited rule is granted. The variance will be effective from the date issued until June 1, 2023. Since
the well will not meet the regulatory requirements, the following minimum additional construction
requirements will be necessary to mitigate any potential problems that could affect public health, the
ground water resource and/or the well's effective operation:
1. Galvanized steel casing with drive shoe shall be used, or PVC casing may be used if fitted
with appropriate shoe.
2. The casing shall extend into consolidated bedrock in accordance with the following table:
Depth to Consolidated Bedrock
Minimum Depth of Casing
Less than 50 feet
15 feet into bedrock
50 to 100 feet
10 feet into bedrock
More than 100 feet
5 feet into bedrock
3. The entire length of the casing shall be grouted. A drill bit that is at least 4 inches greater
than the outside diameter of the casing shall be used to drill the cased portion of the well.

Grout shall be installed using a pump and tremmie pipe. The annular space to be grouted
shall be free of obstructions; if not, the grout must be placed to the maximum achievable
depth of the annular space and a well liner with packer must be installed 10 feet below the
casing and fully grouted. The final construction method shall be shown on the GW-1 Well
Construction Record
4. The well shall be used for irrigation purposes only and shall not be used as a potable water
supply.
5. The well shall not be plumbed into connection with municipal water currently serving the
property.
6. The well driller shall be certified by the North Carolina Well Contractor Certification
Commission as required by General Statutes 87-98.4, Title 15A NCAC 27.0101 and .0110.
7. The well shall be located approximately as shown on the provided map. The well is to be set
in a location no closer than 50 feet to the existing sanitary sewer and no closer than 25 feet to
the building.
It is my finding that the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a
variance as defined in 15A NCAC 2C.0118. A copy of this variance shall be attached to the required
Well Construction Record (GW-1). The granting of this variance is for the location of the well only, and
in no way relieves the owner or agent from other requirements of the North Carolina Well Construction
Standards, or any other applicable law, rule or regulation that may be regulated by other agencies. If you
are dissatisfied with this decision, you may commence a contested case by filing a petition under G.S.
150-23 within sixty (60) days after receipt of the decision.
If you have any questions regarding this variance, please contact Edward Watson at 704-663-1699 ext.
2199 or by email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
