Building permits are being issued as usual. The DEP is issuing permits with conditions that stipulate that the developer may move forward with construction, but that final acceptance from the DEP will not be approved until the project has reached completion and that there is certainty the sewer facility is in compliance. The County is working on both a short range and long range plan to address the future needs of the community.
Construction is currently underway for the expansion of the North Sewer Treatment Facility.
It is now been accelerated to Monday, March 26, 2001. Staff will present our plan and receive feedback. It is anticipated that a Consent Order will be issued to outline what the County must do ensure the facility will remain in compliance as new projects are connected.
