THE CITY OF MACCLENNY OWNS AND OPERATES A SEWAGE TREAT- MENT FACILITY SERVING A POPULATION OF 4,000. THE FACILITY DISCHARGES TO THE ST. MARY'S RIVER VIA TURKEY CREEK, WHICH HAS BEEN CERTIFIED AS CLASS III WATERS BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION (FDER). THE CITY'S APPLICATION FOR A NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMIT AT ITS PRESENT DISCHARGE LOCATION WAS DENIED BY EPA ON AUGUST 23, 1984. ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER 85-290, ISSUED BY EPA ON AUGUST 20, 1985 AND AMENDED ON APRIL 7, 1986, PLACED THE CITY ON A SCHEDULE TO CEASE DIS- CHARGE. THE CITY HAS FAILED TO MEET MAJOR MILESTONES AND WILL NOT CEASE DISCHARGE BY JULY 1, 1988, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL MUNICIPAL POLICY. ON NOVEMBER 16, 1987, EPA HELD A SHOW CAUSED MEETING WITH THE CITY TO DISCUSS ITS NONCOMPLIANCE AND POSSIBLE EPA ENFORCEMENT ACTION. AT THAT TIME, THE CITY STATED THAT THE TREATMENTSYSTEM WOULD BE UPGRADED AND DISCHARGE WOULD BE TO A NEW LOCATION.
