IDEM Evaluating Wastewater Discharge Plans for Eagle Creek
What happened
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is evaluating wastewater plans concerning Eagle Creek, a tributary that flows through Zionsville. Zionsville officials passed a resolution unanimously asking regulators to ensure that permits for wastewater and effluent do not involve discharge into Eagle Creek, which flows toward the Eagle Creek Reservoir. This evaluation of the LEAP Innovation District's wastewater plans is expected to continue for several more months.
Why it matters
The evaluation focuses on the LEAP Innovation District's plans, which have been under discussion as a possibility for the creek's use. The resolution asks IDEM to not approve any plans that would involve discharging wastewater or effluent into the town's waterways.
