As more letters from individual county E/H offices get mailed out major problems seem to be appearing minute by minute.

The one i choose to address is the forms being sent to homeowners with blanks to fill in the following

Operators name________

Operators Lisc. Number__________

Homeowners Signature____________ Date________

No wonder dozens of people have called requesting our Operators Lisc. numbers and never returned a signed maintenance agreement.........

So with that being said if it has happened, which in a few months when all of our area Health Depts get visited by my companies we shall see how many systems that we supposedly took under "relationship" but have no knowledge of..........(all operator info available on the DPOR website)  We are not that AOSS'  operator since we have no signed maintenance agreement and have knowledge that the system even exisits.  But per the state a "relationship" does not have to be a maintenance agreement, and no money need change hands for a company (operator) and homeowner to have said relationship.  So when one of the many systems that we have no knowledge of fails and the operator that would have been responsible for that system is in no way tied to that AOSS, is the VDH going to foot the bill for making that system operational again? 

Sampling____

The available labs to process samples is lacking to say the least.  And in order to properly process BOD5 samples it is not only financial suicide but operationally impossible to service an AOSS and keep said samples at the proper tempature and deliver with a chain of custody in the allotted timeframe for that sample to be an accurate.  All while actually making a profit as an operator.  Are there any possibilities of field testing ?
