Superintendent of Schools O. A. Norton predicted at last week’s meeting of the Rappahannock School Board that effluent from the elementary school’s sewage disposal system will not meet new standards set by the State Water Control Board (SWCB), even if conditions at the lagoon improve.
Effective July 1, the allowable level of suspended solids will be 30 milligrams per liter, lowered from current standards of 48 milligrams, said Norton. Recent tests at the school show levell'of 60 milligrams.
Readings taken last fall at the elementary school’s sewage lagoon were good, said Norton. The system was shut down from Christmas until February 26 with the pond frozen practically all the way through, according to the Superintendent. Then warm weather brought a massive spring turnover, pulling leaves and sediment material to the top of the lagoon, he said.
"It was supposed to settle but ours weren’t settling out,” Norton told the Board. Tests taken in March indicated suspended solid levels had shot up to 76 milligrams oer liter.
