My follow-up letter to you on September 5, 1984, indicated clearly that you must keep the tank pumped out to eliminate any discharge. My second letter to you dated October 3, 1984, indicated that the renter had complained that t',ie tank had not :,een pumped out and continued cu discharge to the surface, and indicated you must have the tank pumped out within 48 hours and as often as necessary to prevent further discharges. Inspections were made on the site on October 5, 9, 11, 22, and 25, 1984, all noting that the tank had not been pumped out and was near overflowing. Although the renters are out of town 50-75 percent of the time, the system has been overflowing whenever they are home and using the facilities.
