Subject: Permit No. WQ0013220

Wastewater Pump and Haul
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Clark:
In accordance with the application received on December 2, 1996, we
are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0013220, which is dated
December 2, 1996, to the Town of Clayton for the operation of the
subject wastewater pump and haul activities.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until
January 31, 1997, and shall be subject to the conditions and
limitations as specified therein. The Town of Clayton should be
advised that the Division of Water Quality views this situation as
one in which homes are being sold for occupation prior to an
appropriate sewer collection system being operational. While the
circumstances involved with pump and haul requests are evaluated on
an individual basis, the Division typically reserves pump and haul
permits of this type for cases of environmental emergencies;
therefore, the Town of Clayton should not perceive the issuance of
this permit as an acknowledgement that such future requests will be
granted. 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, you have the right to request an adjudicatory
hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following
receipt of this permit. This request must be in the form of a
written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such
demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.

including at least the date and time of inspection,

agencies (local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.

that is to be blocked and from which the pumping will occur is
inspected as often as is necessary to ensure that a high
