There are 2 OSE's that work Accomack and Northampton Counties on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.  These 2 OSE's are already back logged and this regulation will only make things worse.  If the health dept is not allowed to draw permits in Northampton County it will become a health concern.  There will be sewage on the ground for long periods of time before a permit can be issued and most of the residents can not afford to have the tank pumped multiple times while waiting for the permit to be issued.  Please allow the health dept to continue to draw repair sewage permits so the residents don't have to wait months to receive a permit and have their sewage system repaired.  Thank you.
