Dear Mr. Dowell:
On September 8, 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:
NC DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES • DIVISION OF PUBLIC HEALTH

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,
, A;,,
John M. Brooks R.E.H.S, MS
