WELL SITE INFORMATION
Please check each box to acknowledge that the proposed well location meets the following conditions:
Type of operation:
The well will be located at a higher elevation than any source of contamination
The proposed well location is NOT in an area generally flooded or where surface flow of any volume
should be expected. (Areas to be avoided include – concave slope, alluvial or colluvial soils, gullies,
depressions and drainage ways.)
There are no overhead or underground utilities in close proximity to the proposed well location
The proposed well location is readily accessible for maintenance and repair

Please check each box to confirm that the proposed well location meets required setback distances from sources of
contamination [the greater of NRCS Standard 642 or N.C. State Law]. Note: Some county regulations are more restrictive; you
must use the most restrictive rule which applies to your well.

Wells located in the CCPCUA are subject to the CCPCUA Rules:
Permits are required for ground water users of more than 100,000 gallons per day.
The Well Flow Estimates should be provided to the well driller as an ESTIMATE of the required well flow that will be needed
to meet the cooperator's livestock watering needs. If wells in the area do not typically yield the estimated flow, multiple
wells or an alternate water source will be required OR the number of animals watered will need to be reduced.
In the example below a livestock watering system capable of providing an adequate water supply for 50 beef cow/calf pairs,
running for 24 hours per day, requires a minimum well flow rate of 1 GPM, and will use 1,500 gallons per day.
CCPCUA counties include: BEAUFORT, CARTERET, CRAVEN, DUPLIN, EDGECOMBE, GREENE, JONES, LENOIR, MARTIN, ONSLOW,
PAMLICO, PITT, WASHINGTON, WAYNE and WILSON
COASTAL PLAIN CAPACITY USE AREA PERMIT
Is the well site located in the Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA)?

Annual registration and reporting of withdrawals is required for surface and ground
water users of more than 10,000 gallons per day.
WELL FLOW ESTIMATE
The Well Flow Rate and Total Water Use are an estimation of the potential water demand that will be required from the
proposed well to meet the water needs of the specified livestock.
