    💰
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 8924
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    On January 19, 2021, the Department of Justice filed a proposed change to the 2016 Consent Decree involving the City of Palmer, Alaska, to make updates to the city's wastewater treatment system. The existing decree required Palmer to install secondary clarifiers by August 31, 2020, to meet environmental standards. The proposed modification extends this deadline to July 1, 2022, and suggests alternative actions in the meantime. Public comments on this change are invited within 30 days from publication, and people can view the proposal on the Justice Department's website.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to give the City of Palmer a little more time to fix their water cleaning system by moving the deadline to 2022, and they want to hear what people think about it. People can also read about this change on the internet, but if they don't have a computer, it might be harder to see.

    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 1960
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the availability of the Effluent Guidelines Program Plan 14 under the Clean Water Act. This plan outlines updates on previous activities, reviews of wastewater discharges, and proposed treatment technologies. The plan also addresses new studies, such as those related to industrial discharges of nutrients and PFAS (a group of chemicals). EPA received public feedback on the preliminary plan and made some clarifications, although no significant changes were made. The plan is available online for public access.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA made a plan to help keep water clean by checking what factories dump in the water and by looking into ways to make the water cleaner. They listened to what people thought about their first plan and made it clearer, but they didn't change much.
