Mr. Davis at that time indicated the NPDES permit renewal had not been received, to his knowledge, for Henderson's Assisted Living. I informed Mr. James that Henderson's and Mountain View's reports were completed and mailed via US Mail Service on March 21, 2005. Since the package was sent with the original and two copies as requested for each facility I feel Mountain View's has not been received either. Therefore, Mr. James stated I should FedEx this package tomorrow morning to your attention. The noted postmarked deadline was June 3, 2005. The f irst package was sent regular mail- Mr. James advised me in the future to always use certified mail or FedEx, this I plan to do. If there are questions please do not hesitate to call me. I have copied the copy of my package with two additional copies. I have resigned the signature page- so you would have an original signature. I also did a second signature page with only today's date- I wasn't sure if the other would be acceptable. My number is 910-848-0694. I am leaving to go to a conference meeting so if there are further questions please feel free to contact Mr. James at 828-697-0063, he has a copy of package also. I am very appreciative of Mr. Roy Davis bringing this to our attention; otherwise we would have been under the impression the package was received- thanking Mr. Davis in advance.
