evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP developed.

laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
