MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />June 23, 2010 <br />Board of Health Minutes Transcription completed by Anne Miles Cassell 2 June 23, 2010 <br />when there are so many. Tom Konsler stated that the wells are approximately 20 feet apart. <br /> <br />There are two types of closed loop geothermal systems; a vertical loop using water and a <br />vertical loop using mixed fluid. Closed loop geothermal systems are regulated as a protection <br />to groundwater resources. Every well is considered a “wound” in that protection. Protection <br />needs to be assured primarily during the construction process for contractor accountability. <br /> <br />Orange County generally has more stringent setback regulations than the state. Orange <br />County Environmental Health will continue to participate with the state in rulemaking, <br />information gathering, adherence to current standards and preparation for amendments to <br />Orange County Rules. <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker asked if the direct exchange wells were still grouted and Tom Konsler replied <br />that they are. <br /> <br />II.
