Permit Issued for controversial Western Wake sewage plant |
|
After five years of fighting the placement and construction of a
wastewater treatment plant within their town's historic district, the
New Hill Community has received a setback. July 29, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers' district commander Col. Jefferson M. Ryscavage issued the Corp's Record of Decision
(ROD). The ROD gives the Western Wake Partners the necessary permit to
begin building their $327 million wastewater plant at Site 14, a 237-acre parcel of farmland taken by eminent
domain by the Partners for the purpose of building the 62-acre
wastewater treatment plant. The location lies adjacent to churches,
playgrounds, and homes.
