Re: Approval No. JMB2806
Private Well Located Less than 25' from Building Perimeter [Rule 1 SA NCAC 2C
.0107(a)(2)(P)]
Property location:
6762 Long Island Rd
Catawba, NC 28607
Dear Mr. Bleicher:
On October 26, 2022, the On-site Water Protection Branch received your request for a
variance from the Well Construction standards, Title 15A North Carolina Administrative
Code Subchapter 2C .0100. The request for the variance concerns a water supply well on
the referenced property. A structure is proposed to be within twenty-five feet of the well.
Specifically, the variance request grants you permission to use a water supply well at a
distance closer than the twenty-five-foot setback to a building perimeter. Achieving the
twenty-five-foot setback would be difficult given the challenges of the property.
Based upon information provided by you, and the Catawba County Health
Department, it is my finding that based upon current conditions as the site exist today
(as well as the current proposal for use of the structure) you meet the conditions
necessary for approval of a variance as specified by 15A NCAC .0118 (a) (1) and (2).
On that basis and if the following conditions are met, the requested variance is
approved:

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER
1) The well/wellhead shall meet all current 2C. 0100 standards, including but not limited
to being properly grouted, terminated at least 12"above land surface, properly
sealed, and having a thread-less sample tap etc.
2) The well shall be sampled for the same parameters required of a newly constructed
well. If samples indicate contamination, further repairs or treatment will be necessary.
3) No potential sources of groundwater contamination shall be stored near the well-head.
4) No termite treatment shall be applied to the structure within twenty-five feet of the
well unless alternative methods are approved by Catawba County Health Department.
The granting of this variance is for the well location only. It in no way relieves the owner
or agent from other requirements of the North Carolina Well Construction Standards
including, but not limited to the requirements in 15A NCAC 2C .0113(b) to repair or to
abandon any well which acts as a source or channel for the migration of contamination.
This approval does not imply sufficient water quality. Further, the approval does not
relieve your responsibility to comply with any other applicable Federal, State, or local
laws or regulations.
If you have any questions regarding this variance, please contact me at (828) 713-3335.
Sincerely,
John M. Brooks R.E.H.S, MS

BIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS REPORT
Private well water information and recommendations
County: Catawba Name: David Bleicher Sample ID Number: 162726
Location: 6762 Long Island Rd, Catawba NC 28609 Reviewer: Megen McBride
Initial Sample X Confirmation Sample:
BIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USES OF YOUR
PRIVATE WELL WATER(These recommendations are based on biological analysis only.)
X No coliform bacteria were found in your well water. Your water can be used for all purposes
including drinking, cooking,washing dishes, bathing and showering.
Total coliform bacteria were detected in your water sample. Total Coliform are a group of related
bacteria that are(with few exceptions) not harmful to humans. A variety of bacteria, parasites, and
viruses, known as pathogens, can potentially cause health problems if humans ingest them. EPA considers
total coliforms a useful indicator of other pathogens for drinking water. Total coliforms are used to
determine the adequacy of water treatment and the integrity of the distribution system
It is recommended that your well water be re-tested to verify that the result is accurate.
Fecal coliform bacteria were detected in the sample. I)o not use the water for drinking,
cooking,washing dishes, bathing or showering.
If the re-test shows contamination by bacteria contact your local health department for assistance. There
may be a problem with the construction of the well,the groundwater source,or operation of the well.The
well needs to be inspected by the local health department or a local well contractor to determine the
problem with the well and to give guidance on how to correct the problem.
Your well water was tested for biological contaminants(total coliform and fecal coliform bacteria).The
results were evaluated using the federal drinking water standards.
Drinking water may contain substances that can occur naturally in water or can be introduced into water
from man-made sources. Total coliform bacteria are found in soil and fecal coliform bacteria are found in
animal and human waste. Total coliform or fecal coliform bacteria in well water indicate that the well
may have structural problems or that the well was not properly disinfected.
If you have been drinking the well water and are pregnant, nursing, have a child in the household under 5
years of age, or immunocompromised(such as an individual with AIDS,cancer, hepatitis,dialysis or
surgical procedures) inform your physician of these results at your next visit.
If the contamination continues,you should investigate the possibility of drilling a new well or installing a
point-of-entry disinfection unit which can use chlorine, ultraviolet light, or ozone.
For further information please contact your county health department or the Occupational and
Environmental Epidemiology Branch at 919-707-5900.

have other water sampling results that are not taken into account in this report.
2. ❑ The following substance(s)exceeded federal drinking water standards or the North Carolina 2L calculated health
levels.The North Carolina Division of Public Health recommends that your well water not be used for drinking and
cooking, unless you install a water treatment system to remove the circled substance(s). However, it may be used for
washing,cleaning, bathing and showering based on the inorganic chemical results only.

4. ❑ Re-sample for lead and/or copper. Take a first draw and 30-second flush sample inside the house (preferably the
kitchen sink) and a first draw and 4 minutes flush sample at the wellhead to determine the source of lead and/or copper.
5. ❑ The following substance(s)exceeded aesthetic drinking water standards. Your water can be used for drinking,
cooking,washing, cleaning, bathing,and showering based on the inorganic chemical results ono', but aesthetic problems
such as bad taste, odor, staining of porcelain,etc. may occur. You may want to install a household water treatment system
to address aesthetic problems.

20 mg/I. The North Carolina Division of Public Health recommends that only individuals on no or low sodium-restricted
diets not use this water for drinking or cooking. It may be used for washing, cleaning, bathing, and showering based on
the Inorganic chemical results only.
❑ b. Your sodium level exceeds 30 mg/I and may pose aesthetic issues such as bad taste,odor, staining of porcelain,etc.
7. ❑ Re-sampling is recommended in months,to reinvestigate .
