Treatment plant should beat DNR deadline
Abbotsford is one of 69 cities in the state which recently received a letter from the DNR alerting officials that their cases will be referred to the state attorney general’s office if they fail to meet the 1983 clean water deadline.
However, subsequent talks with a DNR representative, Abbotsford City Clerk Dennis Weix and Fred Klingbeil of Owen-Ayres, designers of the city’s improved wastewater treatment plant, give the impression that Abbotsford is in little danger of falling into that category. The letters were received by many municipalities in the area, including Owen, Athens, Edgar, Marshfield, Stratford, Pittsville, Granton, Loyal, Medford and Stetsonville.
The deadline for improving sewage treatment to current DNR standards is July 1, 1983. Many communities are now technically violating their Wisconsin Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit for discharging effluent into state waters.
According to Chuck Weister, North Central DNR representative, transmission of the letters was based on the organization’s estimate that construction of improved facilities will take about two years. Thus, any municipalities which had not yet submitted plans and specifications for construction of those facilities received one of the letters, which were sent out June 15.
Weix replied with a letter stating the city’s case, and Weister said the DNR basically agreed with the city.
