1996, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0012192, dated March 21, 1996.
This permit, issued to the County of Montgomery, is for the temporary

under Permit No. WQ0007008.

proper operation of this facility, I would like to direct the County's
attention to condition number twelve (12) of the permit.
If any part, requirement, or limitation contained in this Permit is
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon
