Georgia Spills we are Tracking Sep 19-25, 2022

Oconee River Watershed

- August 26 9:30 am, a tip came from the 1400 block of Sandy Flats Rd in Cleveland (White), that tanker trucks are dumping waste product onto a field of around 160 acres. The dumping was reported as ongoing. 

According to the reporting party, material is leaching into ground, water and local family wells. 

WTGA is following up with Georgia EPD for more information.

An emailed statement from Georgia EPD spokesperson Sara Lips:

“The complaint referenced is primarily a soil amendment issue, as opposed to a spill, so the Georgia Department of Agriculture is taking the lead on the investigation. EPD visited the site during a joint inspection with Dept of Ag, which is why we have a CTS complaint for the site that will be left open until the Department of Agriculture finishes their investigation.”

WTGA asked if the release was done with a discharge and elimination permit, in compliance with state regulations. GA EPD replied by email statement:

“First part is for the Department of Ag to answer. If it is being done in compliance with Ag rules, then a permit is not needed from EPD. From what we have been told, the materials being applied are registered soil amendment products. That registration process is done through the Department of Ag so they would be the ones to talk to about the composition.”

The file remains open, WTGA will update with the results of the Dept of Agriculture investigation.

Savannah River Watershed

- Aug 30, 3:30 pm caller reports raw sewage being pumped out of septic holding tanks into the nearby woods off Windsor Spring Road in Hephzibah, Augusta (Richmond). Complaint referred to the Richmond County Health Department. File #101195

Emailed statement response from Georgia EPD spokesperson Sara Lips:

“EPD received a complaint, in which the caller alleged the owner of a mobile home park removed septic tank caps and pumped the contents out to the nearby woods. The complaint was forwarded to the Department of Health for investigation, thus closing the complaint in EPD’s system. Department of Health found the complaint was valid, so you will need to contact them for an update on enforcement and compliance.”

WTGA has requested an update from Richmond County DOH.
