Subject: Variance Request to Rule 15A NCAC
2C.0107(a)(2)(E)—Separation distance between a
well and other sewage and liquid -waste collection
or transfer facility Irrigation Well
1036 Seminole Drive
Marvin, Union County
Well Variance Permit #WV0300112
On October 3, 2019, 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)(E), which specifies a
100-foot separation from "other sewage and liquid -wastewater collection or transfer facility." The rule
also requires a separation of 25 feet from the structure. The variance request is for the construction of an
irrigation water supply well located at 1036 Seminole Drive, Marvin, Union County.
In order to provide protection for the groundwater resource, the new well shall be sited as shown on the
submitted map and located a minimum distance of 70 feet from the existing sewer line easement. 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 October 04, 2020. 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:
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

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 70 feet to the existing sanitary sewer.
It is my finding that the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a
variance asdefined 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.
However, should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ed Watson at 704-235-2198 or by
