Environment - Interesting item on Angola wastewater treatment

From WLKI Angola:

Members of the Angola City Council could not hide their frustrations with the Indiana Department of Enviromental Management last night. Wastewater Superintendent Craig Williams requested $10,000 to hire an Indianapolis law firm to review a permit application with a limitation on the amount of chloride that the Angola Wastewater Treatment plant can discharge into Mud Creek. IDEM requested the limitation following a measurement taken last April. When it was explained that Indianapolis was the only other city in Indiana that would be facing such a restriction, Council Member Dave Martin let loose with both barrels. He called the issue raised by IDEM "ridiculous". The request by Williams was approved on a 4-1 vote with Martin casting the only negative vote.
