Public questions regarding alleged additional Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) violations at the current wastewater treatment plant were the subject of debate during the November meeting of the Lawrenceville City Council Thursday.
Member of the public who addressed the council referred to the violations when questioning Mayor David Courtney about the ongoing situation. The mayor told those in attendance that the city had not yet officially received notice from the EPA regarding any additional violations documented at the facility. Courtney added that there have been several visits by the EPA officials to the plant since the initial inspection which revealed a number of violations and that those are being rectified through a Compliance Commitment Agreement (CCA) entered into by the city.
The city is attempting to acquire the old Lawrenceville High School property as the site of a new wastewater treatment facility, but that site has drawn criticism regarding discharges into the Embarras River affecting water and environmental quality.
