mestic uses, and is considered to be free of harmful chemicals and disease -causing mi-
croorganisms.
GEOTHERMAL BOREHOLE: A hole drilled or bored into the earth into which piping
is inserted for use in a geothermal system.
GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM: A mechanism for heat transfer by fluid to air processes
and heat transfer by fluid to fluid processes which consists of the following basic ele-
ments: Underground loops of piping; heat transfer fluid; a heat pump
OPEN LOOP GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM: Ground water is pumped from a water well
into a heat exchanger located in a surface building and is then pumped back into the
aquifer through a different well, the same well, or to the surface of the ground or to a
surface body of water, also known as pump and dump.
CLOSED VERTICAL LOOP OR HORIZONTAL GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM: A bore-
hole extends beneath the surface. Pipes are installed with U-bends at the bottom or at
the end of the boreholes. The pipes are connected to the heat exchanger and heat
transfer fluid is circulated through the pipes.
GROUND WATER: Water beneath the earth's surface, that occurs between saturat-
ed soil and rock that supplies wells and springs.
GROUT: A low permeability material that is emplaced in the space between the wall
of the borehole and the casing of a well and, or, emplaced on the wall of the borehole.
Grout shall consist of materials designed to adequately seal the annular space like neat
cement, high solids bentonite slurry, or hydrated bentonite chips.
HEAT EXCHANGER: A device usually made of coils of pipe that transfers heat from
one medium to another; for example, from water to air or water to water.
HEAT TRANSFER FLUID: Any liquid used specifically for the purpose of transferring
thermal energy from the heat source to another location.
LOW PERMEABILITY MATERIAL: A geological unit of unconsolidated material (usu-
ally clay or till) or bedrock (usually shale) that is all or partially saturated, and having
permeability low enough (10-7 cm/sec) to give water in the aquifer artesian head and/or
provide protections to aquifers from activities taking place at the ground surface or with-
in the geologic unit directly above the low permeability material.
MAJOR GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM: A horizontal or vertical closed loop system that is
located more than 20 feet below the ground surface.
MINOR GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM: A horizontal closed loop system that is placed at
or less than 20 feet below the ground surface.
PERMEABILITY: The propensity of a material to allow fluid to move through its pores
or interstices.
SEPARATION/ISOLATION DISTANCES: The distance of a source of contamination
from a surface drinking water source, a ground water source supply well, or any type of
borehole that is identified and/or regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Re-
sources.
SURFACE WATER: Water located on the surface of the Earth in water bodies such
as lakes, rivers, streams, ponds and reservoirs.
TREMIE: A tubing string (typically about 1 to 3 inches in diameter) that is temporarily
installed into the borehole during well construction. The tremie pipe is used for installing
annular material such as filter pack sand and grout.
WATER SUPPLY WELL: A well-used by public water systems, or non-public use, for
extracting ground water for human consumption.
WELL: Any excavation that is drilled, cored, driven, dug, bored, augured, jetted,
washed or is otherwise constructed for the purpose of exploring for ground water, moni-
toring ground water, utilizing the geothermal properties of the ground, or extracting wa-
ter from or injecting water into the aquifer. "Well" does not include an open ditch, drain
tiles, an excavation made for obtaining or prospecting for oil, drain tiles, natural gas,
minerals, or products mined or quarried, lateral geothermal heat exchange systems nor
temporary dewatering wells such as those used during the construction of subsurface
facilities only for the duration of the construction.
16-11-20-2: WATER SUPPLY:
A. All water supply installations for major and minor subdivisions in the city limits shall
be properly connected with an approved and functioning public water supply system.
B. If a public water supply system is to be provided to the area within a three (3) year
period as indicated in the comprehensive plan, the city council may require installation
of a capped system within the street or road right of way; or the city council may require
a payment in lieu of the improvement.
C. All proposals for new public water supply systems or extensions to existing public
water systems, or the use of wells and other water sources, shall be approved by the
City Manager.
D. The water supply system shall be adequate to handle the necessary flow based
on complete development of the subdivision and extensions of the system to areas be-
yond the subdivision. Water supply system design and placement shall comply with the
city standards.
E. Fire hydrant size, type, location and installation shall comply with the minimum city
standards.
16-11-20-3: GEOTHERMAL WELL STANDARDS:
A. PURPOSE: It is the purpose of this section is to protect the health, safety and
general welfare of the people of the City of Dubuque by ensuring that ground water will
not be polluted or contaminated. Because of the serious potential of adverse environ-
mental impacts, this section is intended to prohibit all open loop geothermal systems.
This section allows for closed loop systems subject to the requirements contained in this
section for the construction, reconstruction, repair and destruction of geothermal wells.
The construction of geothermal wells must use construction standards designed to ade-
quately protect the aquifers in each specific geologic setting encountered and in all oth-
er criteria, comply with 567 Iowa Administrative Code Chapter 49. All well services must
be performed with an Iowa Department of Natural Resources certified well contractor as
required by 567 Iowa Administrative Code Chapter 82. The certified well contractor
must be on-site and in direct control of all well services being performed.
B. PERMIT REQUIRED:
1. Prior to the construction of any well, the well contractor must obtain a private
water well construction permit from the Dubuque County Health Department and
a permit from the Building Services Department, and where applicable, an Iowa
Department of Natural Resources permit as required by 567 Iowa Administrative
Code Chapter 50-52 and Iowa Code Chapter 455B, Division III, Part 4.
2. No person may dig, bore, drill, replace, modify, repair or destroy a geothermal
well or any other excavation that may intersect ground water without first apply-
ing for and receiving a permit from the Building Services Department.
C. APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Applications for permits required by this section
must be made on forms provided by the Building Services Department and must contain
all such information as required on the form. The application must be submitted by the
property owner, the owner's representative, or the well contractor and accompanied by
the required filing fee. Minor closed loop systems may be authorized by the Building Of-
ficial in consultation with the Water Department Manager and City Engineer. An applica-
tion for a major geothermal system must include an environmental impact analysis pre-
pared by an engineer licensed in the State of Iowa. Geothermal permits will be reviewed
by the City Engineer and Building Official who will then make a recommendation to the
City Manager.
D. SITE PLAN REQUIREMENT: A site plan showing the generally proposed location,
number of wells, location of loops, including description and MSDS sheets of the heat
transfer fluid, must be submitted with the application. The plan must include the calcu-
lated anticipated volume of grout that will be required. The plan must identify the heat
transfer fluid including MSDS sheets. Heat transfer fluids that are toxic as identified by
the International Plumbing Code under essentially toxic transfer fluids will not be ac-
cepted, and fluids must comply with the 567 Iowa Administrative Code Section 49.29(5).
Geothermal pipe loops must be of approved material for geothermal installation, must
have a 50 year warranty against defect and workmanship, and must be installed with a
tracer wire. A base map showing any known operating and/or non-operating mines is
also required with the application. Base maps are available online by the City Engineer-
ing Department and/or by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources geologists. Con-
struction of a geothermal heat pump system (GHEX) within close proximity of mine
shafts and mine workings has the potential of creating additional hazards to both the
structural integrity of the GHEX system as well as increasing vulnerability to the shallow
aquifer.
E. LOCATION OF GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS: The site plan must show the property
boundaries and easements of record and must detail where the system is located on
the property. Location of all loops must be within the property boundaries of the building
lot and not encroach on any recorded easements. Major systems may not be located
within one thousand feet (1,000 feet) of a current city well or water source. Minor sys-
tems may not be located within two hundred (200) feet of a city deep (Jordan/Cambrian-
Ordovician) well or within four hundred (400) feet of a city shallow (alluvial aquifer) well.
No geothermal system is allowed to be constructed within a 500-foot radius of an identi-
fied leaking underground storage tank (LUST) site.
F. PERMIT FEE: A permit fee, established by the City Manager, must be submitted
with any application required by this section.
G. PERMIT SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION. The City Manager may suspend or
revoke any permit issued pursuant to this section whenever the City Manager finds that
the permittee has violated any of the provisions of this section or has misrepresented
any material fact in the application or any supporting documents, or where the well or its
use may pose a risk to groundwater quality, human health or the environment or should
the system fail any of its mandated testing requirements.
H. OPEN LOOP SYSTEMS PROHIBITED: Open loop systems are prohibited.
I. TESTING OF SYSTEM: Geothermal piping systems must be tested as required by
the Building Services Manager prior to operation of the system and every three (3)
years thereafter. All geothermal systems must be pressure checked by a certified con-
tractor not less than every three (3) years from the certification system date. Results of
the tests must be submitted to the Building Services Department.
J. ABANDONMENT OF GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS: Abandonment of geothermal
systems must be as required in 567 Iowa Administrative Code Section 49.28. The heat
transfer fluid must be removed by a displacement with grout and the loop pipes properly
capped or sealed by an approved method. The top of the borehole must also be uncov-
ered and properly capped or sealed by an approved method.
K. REGULATION CONFLICT: In the event any of the provisions of this section con-
flict with any state or federal regulation, the state or federal regulation will control.
L. COMPLIANCE: All procedures and methods for construction of geothermal wells
must comply with the 567 Iowa Administrative Code Chapters 82 and 49 for non-public
water supply wells and all applicable regulations of the United States Environmental
Protection Agency.
M. EXISTING SYSTEMS: Except for provisions in 16-11-20-3-B-2 regarding re-
placement, modification, repair or destruction, this section does not apply to systems in
existence on the date of the adoption of this ordinance.
16-11-20-4: WATER WELL SUPPLY SYSTEM:
A. WELLS PROHIBITED: Except as provided in section 16-11-20-2-C and section
16-11-20-3-B, no person may construct a well within the corporate limits.
B. EXCEPTIONS:
1. The Building Services Department may issue a permit upon such conditions
and limitations as appropriate for the construction of a well installed for the pur-
pose of groundwater monitoring and/or gauging and/or environmental investiga-
tion (Investigative Well).
2. The City Manager may issue a Special Exception Permit for the construction of
other types of wells if the City Manager determines in the City Manager's sole
discretion that connection to the public water supply is not economically feasible.
The City Manager is under no obligation to issue a special exception permit and
the authority to grant a special exception permit includes the authority to place
conditions on the installation, use, operation, and the abandonment of wells, as
well as the authority to establish fees for the administration, oversight, and moni-
toring as the City Manager deems appropriate.
3. If an Investigative Well or Special Exception Permit is issued, all well services
must be performed with an Iowa Department of Natural Resources certified well
contractor as required by 567 Iowa Administrative Code Chapter 82. The certified
well contractor must be on-site and in direct control of all well services being per-
formed.
C. WELL PERMIT:
1. A Permit Application must be completed and where applicable, an Iowa De-
partment of Natural Resources permit as required by 567 Iowa Administrative
Code Chapter 50-52 and Iowa Code Chapter 45513, Division III Part 4, be sub-
mitted to the Building Services Department or City Manager, as appropriate. The
Application must contain a copy of an approved County Private Well Construction
Permit. No well may be located within the influence of an existing or proposed
city -owned well site as determined by the City Manager, nor be constructed with-
in a 500 -foot radius of an identified leaking underground storage tank (LUST)
site.
2. A permit fee, established by the City Manager, must be submitted with any ap-
plication required by this section.
D. EXISTING WELLS: The section does not apply to a private well in existence on
the date of the adoption of this ordinance. The repair and modification of an existing well
is also allowed, however, the capacity of an existing well may not be expanded and may
be repaired and/or modified only upon receiving a permit from the Building Services
Department.
E. COMPLIANCE: All procedures and methods for the construction of a private well
must comply with 567 Iowa Administrative Code Chapters 82 and 49 for water supplies,
design, and operation and with all applicable regulations of the United States Environ-
mental Protection Agency.
F. CONNECTION TO PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY PROHIBITED: Wells may not be
connected directly or indirectly to the public water supply.
