Dear Mr. Burnett:
This is in response to your letter of August 27, 1996, requesting approval of a variance
from the referenced Rules for the 6 Injection Wells IW-I through IW-6. Rule 2C .0213(d)(1)(A)
requires that injection well casing be installed which extends at least 12 inches above land surface.
A review of your non -discharge permit application indicates that the subject wells could not be
constructed in accordance with that Rule when completed in traffic areas.
Factors that would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect
human health and/or the effective operation of this well, because of not meeting the regulatory
requirements, are as follows:
1. The proposed flush mount construction will provide for adequate protection of the
well head.
2. The proposed flush mount construction will provide an adequate sea] and prevent
contamination of the well from surface runoff.
!'additionally, Rule 2C 0213(c)(1)(D) requires a minimum horizontal distance of 50 feet
between any water -tight sewage collection facility (sewer line) and an injection well. A review of
Your application indicates that the subject wells could not be sited in accordance with that Rule
because of the property size and necessity of the closed -loop operation of the groundwater
remediation system.

Variance to 15A NCAC 2C .0213
Page 2
Factors that would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect
human health and/or the effective operation of this well, because of not meeting the regulatory
requirements, are as follows:
The injection system is expected to mound creating a gradient that would effectively
prohibit any potential leaks from the sewer lines from interfering with the groundwater
remediation system.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is
nay finding that the combination of factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions
for approval of variances from 15A NCAC 2C .0213 (d)(1)(A)-and from 15A NCAC 2C .0213
(c)(1)(D), as defined in 15A NCAC 2C .0118. With the additional requirements that at least 24
hours before any well construction. activities are begun you 1) notify the Raleigh Regional
Office at [phone] and 2) provide a copy of this variance to the party constructing the
well (i.e., licensed well driller), the requested variances from Rule 15A NCAC 2C .0213
(d)(1)(A) and from Rule 15A NCAC 2C .0213 (c)(1)(D) are hereby granted.
The granting of this variance does not affect any of the other requirements of the WELL
CONSTRUCTION STAMDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules.
The granting of this variance does not constitute the approval of any application for a non -
discharge permit associated with a groundwater remediation project. The granting of this
variance does not constitute permission for construction or operation of the injection wells.
Permission for construction and operation is granted through the non -discharge permit.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Kharrat:
Subject: Project Return (WQ0011828) /39S eA)
Miracle Signs
Groundwater Remediation System
Onslow County
This is in reference to your application received December 8, 1995, for the construction and
operation of the subject facility for a groundwater remediation system with treated wastewater disposal by
an infiltration gallery. On June 6, 1996, the Division received a revised application package changing the
subject groundwater remediation system from an infiltration gallery system to an injection well system.
This injection well package was submitted on your behalf by Mr. William E. Burnett, of Coastal
Environmental Services Company. It is believed the injection well disposal system will overcome
difficulties the Division's Groundwater Section has encountered with the submitted infiltration gallery
system package and subsequent additional information required prior to permitting. The Division will
make every effort to review your new injection well application as quickly as possible.
Therefore, as requested on your behalf by Mr. William E. Burnett, of Coastal Environmental
Services Company, in a telephone conversation with Mr. John Seymour, of the Divisions Permits and
Engineering Unit, the Division is hereby returning your infiltration gallery application and supporting
documents. Your application fee will be transfered to cover your new injection well application.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. John Seymour at 91gn33-
5083, extension 546.
Sincerely,
00-k
