EPA Says States Can Restrict Discharge From Sewer Plants

Credit Pacific Service Union In a policy decision that environmentalists hope will speed the cleanup of the Chesapeake Bay, the Environmental Protection Agency says states have authority to restrict nitrogen amounts discharged by sewer plants.

The complex, if approved, would be built on 41 acres of abbey land. In late 2001, the Morristown Township Council rejected plans to provide sewer service through the township plant. The abbey went back to the drawing board and in February released plans for a new sewer line. If approved by local and state officials, it would mirror an existing sewer from the abbey property to the townships Butterworth Sewage Treatment Plant.

Credit First Service Union The policy means that Maryland - which sets voluntary targets - can restrict nitrogen levels flowing into the bay from the state's 65 largest sewage-treatment plants, according to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Virginia and Pennsylvania may also set discharge limits, according to the EPA and the foundation.

This is the second time the monks have come up with a way to provide sewer service for the project. If the township and state approve the plan, the monks would build their own sewer line to the plant. Environmentalists opposed to the plan say environmental restrictions on sewers in the Washington Valley section of the township, where the Delbarton School campus is located, prevent the monks from building the line. The monks and their advisors have disagreed.

"It's an important tool in helping us get to a clean bay at a faster rate than we are right now," said Kim Coble, Maryland executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

Theft of service members' identities came in many forms. Enlisted men on a U.S. Navy vessel in the Indian Ocean had their identities stolen by shipmates, who transferred their data to a ring back in the States that committed the fraud. Another ring apparently planted a member inside a credit union at a military base in the United States. This was very strategic positioning, as the ring would know who was stationed overseas and therefore unlikely to discover the identity theft until long after fraudulent credit purchases were made.

A week earlier, the EPA inspector general said that, at the White House's insistence, the EPA was directed not to state that debris from the World Trade Center site might contain hazardous materials requiring further study. In addition, the EPA issued proposed rules permitting utilities to improve plants (and increase pollution of downwind states) without installing pollution control devices.

Credit Public Service Union Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. has made reducing nitrogen discharges a priority and secured $18 million in federal grants for sewer plant upgrades, according to an office spokesman.

Card Credit Processing Service As part of the state's effort, the operators of Maryland's 65 largest sewer plants have agreed to install new technologies to reduce nitrogen discharges in exchange for federal grants, said Richard McIntire, a spokesman for the Maryland Department of the Environment.

Center Credit Service Union The Chesapeake Bay Program - an EPA-administered program that includes state officials from Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania - also has agreed to try to reduce nitrogen pollution by at least 110 million pounds a year by 2010.

Card Credit Service Wireless The EPA letter, written by assistant administrator G. Tracy Mehan III, says Virginia and other states have "both broad and specific authorities" in setting nitrogen levels. The letter was written in response to a Virginia state delegate's letter Sept. 16 that asked whether states had such authority.

Credit Security Service Union The bay foundation is challenging Virginia's reluctance to set nitrogen limits in discharge permits for a town and a sewer plant.
