EPA to consider discharge into Stillwater River
By Staff report

Saturday, February 17, 2007

WEST MILTON, Miami County - A mining company wants to discharge
millions of gallons of water per day into the Stillwater River, a proposal
to be aired at an Ohio EPA public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Village
Council chambers, 701 S. Miami St.

The application from Milton Materials, 7131 Fenner Road, Ludlow Falls,
seeks to allow the discharge from two settling ponds to the Stillwater.

The company would discharge at most 5.76 million gallons a day from
each pond at a sand and gravel quarry.

The OEPA said the discharges would not be allowed to exceed
chemical-specific water quality standards that protect aquatic life and
human health.

The additional discharge will result in a change from current water
quality conditions in the Stillwater, according to the OEPA.
