AMMUMOMMEMMOM <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> Record of Failures of Low Pressure Systems Permitted by DEM <br /> January 4, 1988 <br /> Page 2 <br /> volumes and pressure checks on the pipes to verify the system <br /> is functioning properly (refer to item #20 on the attached <br /> copy of a permit) . DEM also follows with an on-site <br /> inspection of each system at least every six months. If a <br /> system is not found to be in compliance, the Division of <br /> Environmental Management notifies the local Health Department <br /> within two days. Subsequently the Health Department suspends <br /> Issuance of any new permits for wells and septic tanks. In <br /> Orange County, an applicant would then be unable to obtain a <br /> building permit without first having the necessary permits <br /> from the Health Department. <br /> For additional information, I have attached a copy of a <br /> permit recently issued by the Division of Environmental <br /> Management for a similar low pressure pipe sewage disposal <br /> system located in Orange County. This permit outlines the <br /> specifications which the operator must follow to remain in <br /> compliance with State regulations. <br /> If you have any questions, please advise. <br />
