ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1) Pumper vehicle(s) inspected:
TRUCK LICENSE PLATE # VIN # TANK CAPACITY (gal)
YA146333 2FZAAMBV31AJ35080 2,500

2) The firm name, town name, phone number, and firm permit number were on both sides of the pumper
vehicle. The letters were three (3) inches in height or greater except for “Septic & Portables.” “Septic &
Portables” were just a hair smaller than 3 inches in height. Could be due to the curvature in the tank.
The lettering was distinguishable and not blocked from view. The lettering on the pumper vehicle meets
the requirements of 15A NCAC 13B .0835(b). Derrick said that he was going to have “Septic & Portables”
made larger.
