Lanie Powell and Eva Brown 59 <br /> Sept. 12, 2024 <br /> Page 2 <br /> must revisit the proposed sites to conduct an investigation and issue a new preliminary well <br /> site approval letter before the wells may be drilled. <br /> In addition, this"Preliminary Well Site Approval" is to acknowledge that according to the information <br /> and documentation provided,we understand that the proposed wells are located on lots so that the <br /> area within 100 feet of the wells is owned or controlled by the person supplying the water and that <br /> the supplier of water will protect the well lots from potential sources of pollution and construct <br /> landscape features for drainage and diversion of pollution as required in 15A NCAC 18C .0203(a)(1). <br /> Furthermore,we understand that Donna Crowder and David Barcal per letter dated August, 23, 2024, <br /> have determined that the proposed well locations satisfy the minimum horizontal separation <br /> distances specified in 15A NCAC 18C.0203(a)(2) and summarized in the following table: <br /> Distance ft Potential Source of Pollution <br /> 100 . From any sanitary sewage disposal system,sewer,or sewer pipe unless sewer is <br /> constructed of water main materials and joints,in which the sewer pipe shall be at least 50 <br /> feet from the well. <br /> • From buildings,mobile homes,permanent structures,animal houses or lots,cultivated <br /> areas to which chemicals are applied. <br /> • From surface water. <br /> • From a chemical or petroleum fuel underground storage tank with secondary containment. <br /> • From any other potential source of pollution not listed in this table. <br /> 200 . From a subsurface sanitary sewage treatment and disposal system designed for 3,000 or <br /> more gallons of wastewater a day,unless your well water source is a confined aquifer. <br /> 300 • From any cemetery or burial ground. <br /> 500 • From a septage disposal site. <br /> • From a chemical or petroleum fuel underground storage tank without secondary <br /> containment. <br /> • From the boundary of a ground water contamination area. <br /> • From a sanitary landfill or non-permitted non-hazardous solid waste disposal site. <br /> 1,000 . From a hazardous waste disposal site or in any location which conflicts with the North <br /> Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Rules cited as 15A NCAC 13A. <br /> We also understand that the owner will ensure that the lots are graded or sloped so that surface <br /> water is diverted away from the wellheads and that the wells shall not have greater than a 1 percent <br /> annual chance of flooding in accordance with 15A NCAC 18C .0203(a)(4). <br /> PWS Section"Authorization to Construct"and"Final Approval' <br /> Subsequent to well drilling and evaluating water quality and quantity(i.e., collecting and analyzing <br /> samples and performing a 24-hour well drawdown test) the owner must submit an "Application for <br /> Approval of Engineering Plans and Specifications For Water Supply Systems" to document proposed <br /> well completion (i.e., selected pump,wellhead and well house details) and associated transmission <br /> lines,treatment and/or storage facilities and other critical information about the public water system. <br /> In accordance with 15A NCAC 18C .0305(a), no construction shall be undertaken until the PWS <br /> Section issues an "Authorization to Construct" letter. In addition, in accordance with 15A NCAC <br /> 18C .0309(a),the new wells and all associated treatment, storage or transmission/distribution lines <br /> DE Q�� North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources <br /> Raleigh Regional Office 1 3800 Barrett Drive I Raleigh,North Carolina 27609 <br /> runuri cnr3ou"n '� 919.791.4200 <br /> Uepnriment of Emlronmantal OuBllty <br />
