Dear Mr. Thedford,
Please accept our apologies for applying late to renew our permit. In the past we have always
received a notification from the state reminding us about the renewal is coming up. However, we did not
receive anything until June 3. When an email from Charles Weaver came in telling us that our permit
expires June 30,2020.Please see attached our renewal application for the waste treatment permit
referenced above. There have been no modifications made since our last permit was issued.
The application asks for a narrative description of our sludge management plan. We hire the
services of a licensed waste company to pump out the septic tank and remove sludge when instructed to
do so by our ORC, Mr. Steven Lambert.
If you should have any questions or need additional information please do not hesitate contact our
ORC/Steven Lambert via phone or email or 704-657-8847 by email Steven Lambert
[e-mail].
Respectfully Submitted,
ghEc.a a .
