Re: Septage Management Firm Permit Status
Gidney Septic Tank Service - NCS-00768
Dear Mr. Gidney,
The Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section has not received your completed renewal
application materials for permit NCS-00768 to operate a Septage Management Firm, which was due
on December 31, 2023. We have received an Application, Payment and Training documentation for
permit NCS-00768. Currently our office has not received a Disposal Authorization. To receive your
2024 Firm Permit, a current Disposal Authorization is required.
You have stated (per a phone conversation) that your vehicle is inoperable and that no pumping has
occurred for months. You further stated that the local WWTP would not issue a disposal authorization
while your vehicle is inoperable. Therefore, as it currently stands, your application is incomplete and
there is no valid 2024 permit. Please note that you may not legally operate a septage management
firm in North Carolina without a permit*.
Please be aware that when your vehicle is repaired you must obtain a new Septage Management Firm
Permit before performing any septage pump jobs. To receive your 2024 Septage Management Firm
Permit, you must complete the following:
1. Please mail a completed/notarized disposal authorization for any discharge locations that
you wish to use. With the disposal authorization form please also include a completed
vehicle recertification form. Mail the two required forms to the address below:
Division of Waste Management
Solid Waste Section
1646 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1646
With this letter I have included a blank disposal authorization and vehicle recertification form for your
use. If in the future, you decide not to obtain a septage management firm permit please inform our
office by submitting the cease operation form which is also included with this letter.

Reminder: 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 the requirements of the rules adopted by the 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 on this matter or need further assistance, please contact me (919) 707-
8298 or Lee Sorrell at [phone].
Sincerely,
