Permit forfeits Some property owners may forfeit permits or written site approvals for proposed septic tanks on their property, and some may not even know that they have valid permits which could expire. So reports the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) which has been trying to reach holders of these "prior approval" per mits. A "prior approval" Is a septic tank permit or written approval issued prior to Janu ary, 1974, which is when the DEQ. by direction of the legis lature, assumed responsibility for the statewide subsurface sewage disposal program. These permits expire on June 30. 1978. unless converted to a new DEQ subsurface sewage permit. Since January 1974, a DEQ permit has been required for construction or repair of any subsurface sew age system anywhere in the state. The "prior approval" per mits are expiring because the slate has upgraded standards and rules for septic tank and other subsurface sewage in stallations to protect public health and water quality. When the old permits are converted, the construction deadline will be extended to June 30. 1980. An earlier deadline for con version of permits was ex tended by the Environment! Quality Commission because of concern that insufficient notification had been uJven property owners. The exten sion of construction time Is Intended to deal In a fair way with those who had obtained permits and made plans under the old standards. Anyone who believes they may have a permit in the prior approval category should con tact their local county sani tarian or local DEQ office to determine the status of Iheir property. shirts, dresses.
