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 LOCATION:5605 Six Forks Road,Raleigh,NC 27609 MAILING ADDRESS:1642 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1642 www.ncdhhs.gov • TEL:919-707-5874 • FAX:919-845-3972 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.

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. X 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. Do 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.
