A Pump and Haul Permit was issued from this office on March 27, 1995 for the church to properly dispose of the domestic waste. This permit is valid until October 15, 1995. When the Pump and Haul Permit expires on October 15, 1995, a permanent wastewater disposal method must be in place. This disposal method must be approved by the Division of Environmental Management if it is a discharging system or by the Surry County Health Department if it is a sub -surface system. If Temple Baptist Church does not have an approved system in place and operational when the Pump and Haul Permit expires, then they may be in violation of State Water Quality Laws and subject to relevant enforcement action. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Allan Smith or myself at (910) 771-4600. Sincerely, Steve Mauney Water Quality Supervisor cc: Surry County Health Dept.
