DANIEL SMITH Director NORTH CAROLINA Envir wurtental Quality Preliminary Well Site Approval Letter October 14, 2021 Columbus County District II Attn: Harold Nobles, Public Utilities Director 612 N. Madison St. Whiteville, NC 28472 Re: Dear Mr. Nobles: Preliminary Well Site Approval Columbus County District 11 NC7024007 On September 22, 2021,1 met with Mr. Steve Mitchell, Green Engineering, to conduct a preliminary investigation of the proposed well site listed below. The previous well site for W03 was approved on April 3, 2020. The test well at that location did not meet water quality standards suitable as a source. The revised proposed well has been assigned a Water System Facility (WSF) Identification Number and Sampling Point Code as indicated below. Attached is a copy of the map provided by Mr. Leo Green, Green Engineering, which depicts the location of the proposed well. The abandoned pump station shown of the map will be removed from the proposed well site. WSF ID Sampling Description of Well Site Preliminary Latitude and No. Point Code Longitude W03 RW3 —170' SE of James B. White 34.177246,-78.812432 Hwy S This letter is provided by Public Water Supply (PWS) Section, in accordance with rule .0305(b) of the Rules Governing Public Water Systems (15A NCAC 18 C), to provide permission to drill a well at the listed site in order to establish water quality and quantity and suitability of the well as a source for a public water system. In addition, this "preliminary well site approval" is to acknowledge that according to the information and documentation provided, we understand that the proposed well is located on a lot so that the area within 100 feet of the wells is owned or controlled by the person supplying the water and that the supplier of water will protect the well lot from potential sources of pollution and construct landscape features for drainage and diversion of North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources Wilmington Regional Office 1 127 Cardinal Drive Extension I Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 noarncaroum u•o.M•wareea.aMa aam� /`� 910.796.7215 pollution as required in rule .0203(1). In addition, we understand that you have determined that the proposed well locations satisfy the minimum horizontal separation distances specified in rule .0203 (2) and summarized in the following table: Distance (in Potential Source of Pollution feet 100 • From any sanitary sewage disposal system, sewer, or sewer pipe (unless sewer is constructed of water main materials and joints, in which the sewer pipe shall be at least 50 feet from the well. • From buildings, mobile homes, permanent structures, animal houses or lots, cultivated areas to which chemicals are applied. • From surface water. • From a chemical or petroleum fuel underground storage tank with secondary containment. • From any other potential source of pollution not listed in this table. 200 • From a subsurface sanitary sewage treatment and disposal system designed for 3,000 or more gallons of wastewater a day, unless your well water source is a confined aquifer. 300 From any cemetery or burial ground. 500 • From a septage disposal site. • From a chemical or petroleum fuel underground storage tank without secondary containment • From the boundary of a ground water contamination area. • From a sanitary landfill or non -permitted non -hazardous solid waste disposal site. 1,000 • From a hazardous waste disposal site or in any location which conflicts with the North Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Rules cited in NCAC 13A. We also understand that the owner will ensure that the lot is graded or sloped so that surface water is diverted away from the wellhead and that the lot is not subject to flooding in accordance with rule .0203(4). PWS Section "Authorization to Construct" and "Final Approval" Subsequent to well drilling and evaluating water quality and quantity (e.g., collecting and analyzing samples and performing a 24-hour well drawdown test) the owner must submit an "Application for Approval of Engineering Plans and Specifications for Water Supply Systems" to document proposed well completion (e.g., selected pump, wellhead and well house details) and associated transmission lines, treatment and/or storage facilities and other critical information about the public water system. In accordance with rule .0305(a) no construction shall be undertaken until the PWS Section issues an "Authorization to Construct' letter. In addition, in accordance with .0309(a) the new well and all associated treatment, storage or transmission/distributions lines shall not be placed into service until the PWS Section has issued a "Final Approval." These steps are described in the Engineering Planning and Development Guidance Document available at https•//files nc gov/ncdeq/Water%20Resources/files/pws/planreview/EPD Guidance Jul ,v2019.pdf North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources Wilmington Regional Office 1127 Cardinal Drive Extension I Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 nvmrca+ouru ow,e..ma uiw�miaowr 910.796.7215 Be aware that plans, specifications and reports for the new wells must be certified by a Professional Engineer. Therefore, it is recommended that a Professional Engineer or Licensed Geologist (or their designated representative) experienced in the construction of water supply wells, conduct on -site monitoring of well construction. At a minimum, certain critical phases of well construction such as installation and grouting of casing should be monitored. In many situations it may be necessary to go beyond the minimum requirements in order to protect the public health and ground water resources. Other Agency Approvals Required This PWS Section "preliminary well site approval" letter does not address other agency applicable rules and requirements pertaining to well construction and registration. Local county well construction rules and ordinances may include additional requirements. Well construction must meet the standards specified in the Well Construction Standards (15A NCAC 2C). Be aware that these rules require a permit to be obtained from the Water Quality Regional Operations Section of the Division of Water Resources before the well is constructed if it is anticipated that the new well will be part of a water system with a design capacity of 100,000 gallons per day or greater. In addition, these rules require that wells be constructed by a properly certified well driller.
