PAGE 4 of 4 —Traub Variance Request
The proposed geothermal aqueous closed loop system for the address listed on
page 1 is in need of a distance requirement variance. The location of the proposed
residential structures and the onsite operational & reserve drain fields are
impeding the location of the geothermal closed loop field to be located within the
residential and septic system setback distance respectively. We are proposing to
locate the vertical bores towards the center of the property. In this manner we can
obtain maximum safety distance from the septic system and achieve a very high
degree of human health and environmental protection. The vertical bores will be
grouted from top to bottom with high quality, low permeability grout using the
tremie method to assure the bore hole will be a solid plug of environmental
protection. The bore holes we construct will be the safest points of ground water
intrusion on the property when compared to the native geology. We will construct
triangulated borehole construction maps for each hole for permanent locating and
install metal detection tape in all of the horizontal connecting trenches to facilitate
easy bore hole locating if ever needed for any reason. Due to the fact a geothermal
vertical closed loop is constructed in the same manner as an abandoned well and
does not move water, does not contain well screens or casing and is not an actual
water well, future service will not be required.
