The permit would let the City of Leary's treatment plant keep discharging treated wastewater into Keel Creek, a waterway residents and the environment downstream depend on.
No next step has been documented.
The story
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division issued a public notice on October 2, 2026 proposing to reissue the NPDES wastewater permit for the City of Leary's Water Pollution Control Plant in Calhoun County, covering up to 0.1 MGD of treated domestic wastewater discharged to Keel Creek.
A second EPD public notice on October 6, 2026 identifies the permit as No. GA0026212 for permittee City of Leary, covering the same discharge to Keel Creek.
