Detailed Engineering Studies
On July 8, 1996 the DEP issued an approval relating to a hydraulic study required by the July 1989 consent order. It included conditions requiring more detailed engineering studies by the district to deal with the amount and quality of wastewater discharge that our sewer plant and filter beds could handle. On December 20, 2002 the DEP issued a letter to the district indicating DEP’s reluctance to favorably review a non-point source discharge option. DEP established criteria for evaluating lateral and vertical sand filters.
