The story
Georgia's Environmental Protection Division has proposed reissuing an NPDES wastewater discharge permit for Pilgrim's Pride Corporation's Ranger Feed Mill at 877 US Highway 411 SE in Ranger, in Gordon County. A public notice says the facility discharges 0.007 MGD of boiler blowdown and softener wastewater.
A second notice days later identified the discharge as going to Marlowe Branch, again citing the 0.007 MGD volume of boiler blowdown and softener wastewater.
