Water Related Enforcement Activity
Certain water related enforcement activity is posted weekly to this Web page, including Director’s Orders, Commissioner’s Orders, Agreed Orders and Rulings of the Water Quality Control Board and Notices of Intent to Appeal. When cases are appealed, the law (T.C.A. §4-5-310) provides an opportunity to intervene to become a party in the pending case. To do so, a petition should be filed with the Secretary of State, Administrative Procedures Division. Water related enforcement activity for the most recent week is identified and presented with short summary and link to full documentation through the Case No. Previous water related enforcement activity are archived in batch links at the bottom of this page.
Timely access to public information is important to the department. We are developing an online application that will connect to a database containing enforcement activities across all department divisions. We look forward to providing this Web-based public information resource in the future.Week of November 16 - November 22

The Respondent filed timely appeals on the following Permits, which were either up for renewal, or a new issuance: SOP-01025 (Hoffman Subdivision) issued 10/3/06 SOP-05057 (Cross Plain) issued 10/3/06 SOP-99022 (Cornerstone) issued 3/31/06 SOP-00011 (Harbor Point) issued 7/1/06 SOP-98049 (Tucker's Crossroads) issued 9/30/06 SOP-05067 (River's Edge Phase II) issued 10/3/06 SOP-01023 (Wilson County-Poplar Ridge) issued 9/30/06 SOP-05008 (Wilson County..Mann Road) issued 9/30/06 SOP-05074 (Wilson County-Sugar Flat...Ramsey) issued 10/3/06 Two particular permit conditions were appealed by the Respondent: 1. The requirement to fence the drip field disposal areas; 2. The requirement to disinfect the waste water before it entered the drip line system, in order to meet the particular E. coli limit for that facility. The Respondent and the Division met and agreed to the appropriate disinfectant limitations and fencing requirements to be inserted in the permits under appeal in this matter. The effluent limitations and testing requirements assigned to a particular type of drip field, when disinfection is used, will be based on the type of public access anticipated and included in the permit, as defined in this Agreed Order. This Order is only associated with the resolution of permit appeals, not any enforcement actions, therefore no penalty amounts are involved. |
