Dear Mr. Bean:
In accordance with your application received December 27
1995, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0011933, dated
January 17, 1996, for the temporary pumping and hauling of
wastewater.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance
until June 17, 1996, and shall be subject to the conditions and
limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular
attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure
to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining
the required operational information will result in future
compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this
permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to request an
adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days
following receipt of this permit. This request must be in the
form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, Post Office Box 11666, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27604. Unless such demands are made this permit shall
be final and binding.

Please be advised that since this is the second pump and
haul permit that has been issued for this project, it is highly
unlikely that any more approvals (Permits) will be granted for
pumping and hauling beyond the expiration date of this Permit
without substantial justification. Pump and haul (P&H) permits
are designed to provide a temporary solution to wastewater
disposal problems, which can usually be resolved within a six (6)
month period. Although we recognize that construction delays may
make it necessary to reissue a P&H Permit, the intent of the P&H
Permit is not served when a permanent wastewater disposal option
is not implemented on or before the expiration date of the
original P&H Permit. You are urged to take whatever action is
necessary to expedite the completion of the wastewater collection
facilities that are to serve this project so as to avoid future
compliance problems.
If you need additional information concerning this matter,
please contact Mr. D. Rex Gleason at 704/663 -1699 -
