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 - cc: Mecklenburg Mooresville Permits and MLP h:\p&h\bethlwod.p&h Sincerely, Jeston A.
