RE: Approval No. WWM222
Well Located/Attached Structure
Rule 15A NCAC 2C .0107(a)(2)(M)
April Bennster Property

Newton, NC 28658
Dear Mrs. Bennster,
On July 10, 2012 the above reference property was evaluated for a variance from the Well Construction standards,
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code Subchapter 2C .0100. The variance request is regarding a water supply well at the
referenced property.
Specifically, the variance request grants you permission to use an existing water supply well at a distance closer than
the required twenty five foot setback to an existing deck. You stated the original deck was removed from the property and you
replaced it with a new structure. The previous deck was approximately from the well, and you have placed the new deck on
, though the new deck is a much larger structure than the previous one.
Based upon information provided by the Catawba County Health Department, property owner, and a site visit, it is my
finding that you meet the conditions necessary for approval of a variance as specified by 15A NCAC 2C .0118 (a) (1) and (2). On
that basis and provided that the following conditions are met, the requested variance is approved:
1) A proper well sample tap (facing down) shall be installed to ensure proper sampling techniques can be achieved.
2) No pesticide treatment for the new deck shall be applied within twenty-five feet of the well.
3) The well shall be sampled for the same parameters as required for newly constructed wells. If samples indicate contaminants,
further repairs/treatment may be required.
4) No potential sources of groundwater contamination shall be stored near the well-head.
The approval of this variance does not affect any of the other requirements or limitations of the 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 or to your responsibility to comply with any other applicable Federal, State, or
local laws or regulations.
The granting of this approval is for the well casing depth only, and in no way relieves the owner or agent from other
requirements of the North Carolina Well Construction Standards, or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation that may be
regulated by other agencies, nor does it imply sufficient water quality.
If you have any questions regarding this variance, please contact Wilson Mize at (919) 218-5383.
Sincerely,
Wilson Mize R.E.H.S.
