Board Tightens
Regulations on
virginiaSewage
By MARY LOU WERNER
Star Stan Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. IA. - The
Virginia State Water Control
Board today frightened up on
sewage disposal regulations as 1t
authorized the town Of Fairfax
and the Wyaconda subdivision
in Prince William County to
proceed with new treatment ia
cilities - under certain condi-
lions.
The town Of Fairfax applica-
ton to expand its sewage treat
ment plant on Accotink Creek
was the only additional treat
ment facility authorized on that
creek In an order released by
the water board today.
The board served notice it
would not approve any private
plants on Accotink. which is Fort
Belvoir's water supply.
Wyaconda subdivision. on Lake
Jackson in Prince William Coun-
ty, was told it could go ahead
with a treatment plant-pro-
vided 1t puts in any standby
equipment and other precau-
tionary measures that the water
board stan and the State Health
Department may require.
Hit by Lake Area Residents
Residents Of the Lake jackson
area had protested the Wyaconda
plant because they said it would
ruin the lake for recreation, uses.
Ofilcials Of the Alexandria and
Virginia Water Cos. also opposed
1t because 1t is to be located
above their source of water sup
ply on Occoquan Creek.
Approval Of the Fairfax apph-
cation to expand its plant also
was conditioned on provision Of
whatever facilities the water
board STAFF and health depart
ment feels are necessary.
A Water Board spokesman said
no specifications had been
drafted yet, but it was apparent
q very high degree Of treatment
would be required. Since the
flow Of Accotink is very low at
times. the plant must provide a
degree Of treatment sufficient 70
discharge efiluent that is prac-
tically as pure as normal stream
water. 1t was explained.
No Action on Vienna
No action was taken on the
town of Vienna's application to
build a plant on Accotink. The
staff was instructed to give the
matter further study.
The board also deferred action
on permitting any more plants
on Pohick Creek. Homer Hoyt,
who is about to develop a new
subdivision in Fairfax County,
had sought permission to build
a plant on a tributary Of Pohick.
