SUBJECT: PUMP AND HAUL PERMIT NO. WQ0010961
Windsor Pool Association, Inc
Pitt County
The above permit is for the disposal of wastewater from the Windsor Pool
Association's pool house in Bells Fork, NC. The facility was scheduled for sewer
service by June 1, 1995. Delays have occurred with the installation of the
collection system and the facility will not get service until July 31, 1995. The
pool facilities are schedule to open on May 29, 1995. The Greenville Utility
Commission (GUC) has agreed to accept this waste and will be transported .from the
facility to the GUC's Operation Center located on Mumford Road.
Windsor Pool Association proposes to discharge their wastewater from the pool
house into two 1500 gallon septic tanks (in series), total capacity of 3000
gallons. The facility can accommodate a total of 230 people. The design
capacity for this facility is 2300 gallons per day (230 x 10 gallons/person).
The system will be pumped out regularly every other day. Jim's Liquid Waste
Hauling Service is the contract hauler and Cannon's Septic Systems will be the
back-up hauler. The system will contain a high level alarm system which is
housed in the second septic tank. The alarm will be set at 25% capacity in the
second septic tank. The alarm will signal in case of an emergency and the pool
operator will be allotted enough time to contact the pump and haul contractor or
will have time to terminate water flow to the pool house.
The route has been designated by GUC and attached for your information.
I recommend that this permit, WQ0010961, be issued to Windsor Pool Association,
Inc. so that this wastewater may be properly disposed of until they can connect
to GUC's collection system (July 29, 1995).

Dear Mr. Regnier:
Pump and Haul Request
Pitt County
Your request received April 25, 1995, concerning the pumping
and hauling of the wastewater generated from the Windsor Pool
Association, Inc., has been reviewed by the staff of the Washington
Regional Office.
As explained, you plan to pump and haul approximately 2,300
gallons of wastewater generated by the pool house. The route taken
from the pool house to the Greenville Utilities Commission's
Operational Center was determined by Greenville Utilities
Commission (GUC) and is attached as part of the permit.
Please be aware that Windsor Pool Association, Inc. will be
responsible for the proper transportation of the wastewater. Any
environmental impacts that can be attributed to this activity may
be used as justification for the Division to request termination of
the subject pump and haul activities. Notification of the
completion of this pump and haul activity is requested by this
office.
