WASTELINE and its clients are very willing to submit requests <br /> and comments to whichever agency can authorize this, because it is a growing problem. Is this something <br /> that requires legislative action? In addition to lost USPS delivery (example, a green card not yet received <br /> 18 days after confirmed delivery), we have still not received documents mailed hard copy from the <br /> Division as much as two weeks ago, and have only been able to proceed due to receiving electronic <br /> copies. First-class mail, certified, and registered mail is frequently taking 2-4 weeks to be delivered. <br /> Please feel free to contact me at any time with any and all questions and concerns. Thank you for <br /> your help in this matter. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Nathan A. Barton, CE, PE, DEE, Comptroller, <br /> WASTELINE, INC.
