TRS re RE SS Eo PERMIT TO INDUSTRY-Ernest Rome, General Manager of Anvil Knitwear, right, buys a city indus- trial wastewater permit from Ronnie Tignor, Pretreatment Coordinator. The city is issuing permits to in- dustrial customers specifying limitations of wastewater discharges. Sewage From Page 1-A from Buffalo Creek. Most of them were bacteria or farm- type chemi- cals. Now, the city is required to test for 187 pollutants and some of these, according to Ollis, were un- heard of until the last few years. The city is among 56 local gov- ernments and the only city in North Carolina cited recently by the EPA for violating the Clean Water Act, allowing an industry to dump toxic wastewater into a city sewage sys- tem. Kings Mountain was fined $3,000 for allowing Buckeye Fire Equipment Inc. at 102 Industrial Drive to discharge untreated wastewater, said Ollis. But the in- dustry has since installed a pre- treatment program and no longer dumps untreated water. Kings Mountain, in turn, follow- ing EPA direction, imposed a stiff fine on Buckeye for the dumping. The penalty to the city was over the city's lack of a pretreatment program and enforcement of indus- trial waste discharges form the city's water and sewer customers between early 1985 and early this year. "What we had not done was have an adequate pretreatment plan in effect," said Ollis. "They're real- ly hitting us for past violations." Environmental regulations re- quire industrial wastewater to be treated by the industries prior to treatment by the city if the dis- charges contain contaminants that the city's plant may not be able to WAITING AT POLLS-Scott Neisler, left, City Manager George Wood, Grady and Susie Howard await adequately handle. City Manager George Wood said the fine levied against the city had been agreed to in July of this year in a court agreement reached be- tween the city and state environ- mental officials. ; " It could have been a $30,000 fine, but they've recognized that we are moving to correct the problem." As another part of the consent judgment, the city was directed to assess a pollution fine against Buckeye Fire Equipment Co. and Wood said the fine, substantially larger than the fine ordered against the city, has been paid by Buckeye to the city and Buckeye is in com- pliance with standards. Wood said the money paid by Buckeye has been used to help finance the city's development of its waste pretreat- ment program. results of Tuesday's balloting for three seats open on city council. Neisler emerged as the top vote-getter among five for the Ward 6 race and faces a runoff with incumbent councilman Harold Phillips. Voters re- turned Fred Finger to his Ward 5 seat while assuring another run-off in Ward 2 between incumbent Humes Houston and second-runner Elvin Greene. Ten candidates were in the running for the three seats as challengers gave incumbents a strong race. Vote From Page 1-A tions Hamrick has run unsuccessfully for mayor and city commissioner. Phillips, who garnered 327 votes, trailed Neisler. Jerry White placed third in Ward 6 with 175 votes fol- lowed by Will Sanders with 127 votes and Willard Boyles with 120. All four challengers were newcomers to city politics, although Sanders ran unsuccessfully several years ago for a school board seat. In Ward 5, Finger beat newcomer Marshall Camp, 661 to 627. Camp said he was very pleased with his showing at the polls and thanked his supporters. "We've got lots of work to do between now and said. Mark Richardson To Speak At KM Rotary Club Meeting Mark S.
