The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has entered into a Consent Order with the Terrace Hill Sanitary Sewer District which is just north of Hampton.
Terrace Hill operates a wastewater treatment facility near the Hampton Country Club.
The DNR claims the sewer district has not met the goals set out in its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, dating back to at least February of 2021.
The Terrace Hill Sanitary Sewer District must now submit a wastewater treatment facility plan by September 1st, submit a construction permit application by August 15th, 2025, and substantially complete the wastewater treatment facility upgrades by October 15th, 2027.
In addition, all upgrades must be completed by May 1st, 2028.
The district must also pay a 25-hundred dollar administrative penalty.
