Response from the EPA:

Thank you for your message. The ECHO website (https://echo.epa.gov/) gives users access to permit, inspection, violation, enforcement action, informal enforcement action, and penalty information over the past five years, for facilities in their communities. The data provide a snapshot of a facility’s record of compliance with environmental regulations (primarily the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and Safe Drinking Water Act) by showing dates and types of violations and the seriousness of the violations.

You can search for facility information from the ECHO Home page (echo.epa.gov). Click the Facility Name/ID option under the Quick Search panel, and type a name or ID. Under the Search Options panel, you can also click "All Data Facility Search" to search using more criteria. If you are new to ECHO, we suggest viewing the Facility Search video tutorial (https://echo.epa.gov/help/tutorials). On the search results page, click the hyperlinked facility or the red "C" icon to access the Detailed Facility Report. 

The Three Year Compliance History by Quarter table in the Detailed Facility Report (DFR) displays the most detailed compliance information. The DFR data dictionary provides an explanation of the facility compliance status and violation codes (https://echo.epa.gov/help/reports/dfr-data-dictionary#compbyqtr). We recommend scrolling to the Pollutants section of the Detailed Facility report to view any applicable Toxics Release Inventory data. If applicable, click on the green "A" icon to open the Air Pollutant Report and see detailed air emissions data. 

We are unable to answer questions about specific facilities or violations. If you believe a facility is in a possible violation of environmental laws, please report a violation through EPA's Hotline (https://echo.epa.gov/report-environmental-violations). You can also contact your state environmental agency or a regional EPA office. Contact information for state agencies can be found here:https://www.epa.gov/home/health-and-environmental-agencies-us-states-and-territories. Contact information for EPA Regions can be found here: https://www.epa.gov/aboutepa#pane-4. You may also consider contacting your local environmental/health department.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you require any additional assistance with ECHO.

Tour of Mount Dora Water Water Reclamation Facility: Guest Post by Amber Perretti

  "Report from my 12/17/20 tour of the Waste Water Plant" The Mt Dora Water Reclamation Facility on 441 and SR 46 has been in operation for approximately 12-15 years. Its’ primary function is to convert sewer wastewater into reclaimed water for irrigation purposes. The facility is operating at half its current capacity and is master-planned to be built to double its current size. Grease trap waste and septic tank waste are NOT accepted at the facility. Sludge (a compost material) extracted at the end of the reclaim process is hauled off by Shelly’s Septic for additional treatment and reuse as fertilizer. This sludge has no smell when it leaves the treatment plant site. After touring the facility, the only step that has odors is the "headworks" where the wastewater comes in and the "surge tank" where the wastewater is stored for processing. The current odor control system is carbon filtration. The carbon filters are changed out as needed. While carb...

The Saga of Drainage into Lake Ola

Image
From:  Ned Bowers  Sent:  4/19/2020 To:  Recipients Redacted Subject:  Orange County Permit Application - Drainage into Lake Ola As everyone is aware, I have been in a fight to protect my property rights for over 10-years.  In December 2019, the case went through a 5-day bench trial.  Fees the County will eventually pay are north of $800,000 and the damages trial will tack on another $200,000.  That may be a reason to never oppose the government.  Just allow them to do as they please no matter the harm.  Be it known, I support good government.  I only oppose corruption in government along with a coverup. The defense was terrible; embarrassing. But suing the government is every bit as difficult as people say.  This was no exception.  The first trial on October 22, 2018, was a complete bust.  Part of the blame was that, unknown to me, Orange County solicited St Johns for a "permit" and rec...
