"In order to advance healthy water quality in the coastal areas of Cape Ann near the City of Gloucester, EPA is proposing a draft decision to deny the extension of a waiver of Clean Water Act requirements that has allowed the City to discharge wastewater receiving only primary treatment from its wastewater treatment facility into Massachusetts Bay. ...EPA is releasing for public review and comment its draft intention to deny this waiver request and issue a permit with secondary treatment-based limits. EPA will accept comments from the public on this proposal for 30 days, ending on Dec. 4, 2010. Excerpt from the EPA web site.
