05/18/2013 — NOTICE OF EMERGENCY
ORDER
Pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated, Sections 8-4-101, et seq.; 8-1-202 (b)(2(c); and 8-1-220 the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued an emergency order May 14, 2013, in connection with the discovery of an unauthorized discharge by the City of Sherwood from its municipal wastewater treatment plants, known as the North and South Facilities.
The city notified the ADEQ May 9, 2013, that it intended to initiate a controlled release of wastewater from the storage lagoons and equalization basins at its two wastewater treatment plants as part of a plan to rebuild the structures, once it received an acceptable bid from a contractor to perform the work. The following day, the ADEQ informed the city that its planned action would constitute an unpermitted discharge, contrary to the terms of the city’s wastewater discharge permit.
On May 13, 2013, the city by electronic mail notified the ADEQ that it was commencing the implementation of its plan to dewater the lagoons and equalization basins, and that it cut a breach in the levee of the lagoon of its South Facility. The action created an unpermitted discharge from the South Facility into Woodruff Creek. That same day, the ADEQ Director verbally ordered the city to cease all unpermitted discharges from the South Facility. Later in the day, the city notified the ADEQ by electronic mail that the breach had been repaired and the unpermitted discharge had been stopped.
Under provisions of the Emergency Order, the City of Sherwood is directed to refrain from any further unpermitted discharges from its wastewater treatment system, and within three days of the issuance of the order, report to ADEQ the amount of wastewater released during the unpermitted discharge and submit a detailed plan for mitigating the effects of the unpermitted discharge.
Nothing in the order prevents the ADEQ from seeking to recover its costs in connection with the incident, or taking appropriate enforcement action against any party determined to be responsible for the unpermitted discharge.
A copy of the full text of the order is available by contacting Doug Szenher at the ADEQ, 5301 Northshore Drive, North Little Rock, AR 72118; telephone, 501-682-0915; E-mail, doug@adeq.state.ar.us.

05/18/2013 — NOTICE OF EMERGENCY
ORDER
Pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated, Sections 8-4-101, et seq.; 8-1-202 (b)(2(c); and 8-1-220 the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued an emergency order May 14, 2013, in connection with the discovery of an unauthorized discharge by the City of Sherwood from its municipal wastewater treatment plants, known as the North and South Facilities.
The city notified the ADEQ May 9, 2013, that it intended to initiate a controlled release of wastewater from the storage lagoons and equalization basins at its two wastewater treatment plants as part of a plan to rebuild the structures, once it received an acceptable bid from a contractor to perform the work. The following day, the ADEQ informed the city that its planned action would constitute an unpermitted discharge, contrary to the terms of the city’s wastewater discharge permit.
On May 13, 2013, the city by electronic mail notified the ADEQ that it was commencing the implementation of its plan to dewater the lagoons and equalization basins, and that it cut a breach in the levee of the lagoon of its South Facility. The action created an unpermitted discharge from the South Facility into Woodruff Creek. That same day, the ADEQ Director verbally ordered the city to cease all unpermitted discharges from the South Facility. Later in the day, the city notified the ADEQ by electronic mail that the breach had been repaired and the unpermitted discharge had been stopped.
Under provisions of the Emergency Order, the City of Sherwood is directed to refrain from any further unpermitted discharges from its wastewater treatment system, and within three days of the issuance of the order, report to ADEQ the amount of wastewater released during the unpermitted discharge and submit a detailed plan for mitigating the effects of the unpermitted discharge.
Nothing in the order prevents the ADEQ from seeking to recover its costs in connection with the incident, or taking appropriate enforcement action against any party determined to be responsible for the unpermitted discharge.
A copy of the full text of the order is available by contacting Doug Szenher at the ADEQ, 5301 Northshore Drive, North Little Rock, AR 72118; telephone, 501-682-0915; E-mail, doug@adeq.state.ar.us.
