Dear Mr. Gahagan:
On October 5, 2018, The Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section, received a letter of
Ceased Operation as a Septage Management Firm that you signed indicating that effective January 1, 2018 Papa Don's ceased operations as a septage management firm. As of October 8, 2018, your records have been removed from our active list of septage management firms.
If at any time you wish to continue operation as a Septage Management Firm, you will need to apply
for a new permit in accordance with the septage management rules prior to starting to operate.
Please note that you may not legally operate a septage management firm in North Carolina
without a permit. General Statutes, GS 130A-291.1 (c) No septage management firm shall
commence or continue operation that does not have a permit issued by the Department. The permit shall be issued only when the septage management firm satisfies all of the requirements of the rules
adopted by the Commission. General Statutes, GS 130A-291.1 (c) Commission. A septage
management firm that commences operation without first having obtained a permit shall cease to operate until the firm obtains a permit under this section. You are hereby advised that, pursuant to
N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Statute or Regulations.
If you have any questions in this matter, please feel free to contact me at 919-707-8285.
