Re: Approval No. JMB3189
Private Well Located Less than 25' from Building Perimeter and Located Less than 50'
from Surface Water [Rule 15A NCAC 2C .0107(a)(2)(P)(Q)]
Property location:
4897 Kiser Island Rd
Terrell,NC 28682
Dear Mr. Harkey:
On September 27, 2023, 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 a variance concerns a proposed water supply
well on the referenced property that will serve a single-family dwelling and part of a
structure on the property will be within twenty-five feet of the well and surface water on
the property will be within fifty feet of the well. The home is on a lot with very difficult
topography.
Specifically, the variance request grants you permission to construct a water supply well
at a distance closer than the twenty-five-foot setback to a building perimeter and at a
distance closer than the fifty-foot setback to a surface water body. Achieving the twenty-
five-foot and fifty-foot setbacks would be difficult given the challenges of the property.
Based upon information provided by the Catawba County Health Department, and the
property owner, 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 new water supply well shall be constructed of either PVC, steel, or galvanized
metal casing.
2) The well shall be located as far as possible from the structure where, depending upon
where well rig can actually set up, will possibly encroach upon the 25foot setback,
but not be closer than l Ofeet.
3) The well shall be located as far as possible from the surface water where, depending
upon where well rig can actually set up, will possibly encroach upon the 50foot
setback, but not be closer than 30feet.
4) A preconstruction meeting shall be required with the Catawba County Health
Department staff to ensure that the maximum possible distances are achieved.
5) The well will be required to have casing installed to a minimum of 50 feet below land
surface or to bedrock, whichever is greater.
6) The well shall be at least fifty feet from any part of the septic system including repair
area.
7) Grout will be required the entire length of the casing from land surface into bedrock.
8) A drill bit with a diameter of at least one third greater than the diameter of the casing
must be used to drill the cased portion of the well.
9) Grout must be either pumped into place with the use of a tremmie pipe or pressure
method.
10)If a full-length grout is not possible due to site conditions,then a packer-liner
must be installed in the well. The liner must extend at least five feet beyond the
end of the casing and grouted entirely with a neat cement grout.
11)The well must be constructed outside of any road right of way.
12)A grout inspection must be performed by the 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 RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USES OF YOUR
PRIVATE WELL WATER(These recommendations are based on biological analysis only.)
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.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 depai fluent 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.

6. ❑ a. Sodium levels exceed the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency's(USEPA)Health Advisory level for sodium of
20 mg/1.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 onto.
