November election.

The state Dept, of Environmental Protection has notified county authorities that under the terms of the state’s Solid Waste Management Act of 1976, it will be illegal to dump septic waste in unlined landfills after mid-March 1981 (the legislature having extended the original deadline of

March 15, I960).

Have Mandate taxpayers^ built a sewage system to help comply with the health and sanitation needs of our people. "THEY WERE progressive thinkers, and they built at a time when costs were about 10 percent of today’s cost," MacDonald continued. "Now we .are mandated by the State of New Jersey to take all the septic tank wastes — not just from Lower Township, but the entire county." There is a double sting to the DEP mandate, the candidate indicafes. •IF WE HAD the (treatment! capacity just sitting there, it would be one thing,\but we don’t. We now have to spend nearly onehalf million dollars to prepare our facility to ac-commodate-this overload,” he noted. "Even if the state pays most of the cost, we in Lower Township will still be saddled with some. Let’s not forget that the money the state will spend is still our tax dollars." The Republican municipal candidate said the mandate also raised another important question. "Does this mean we cannot take anymore hookups in our plant? Will this bring us up to capacity? These are two serious questions, and if this is the case, we are going to lose in another way — tax ratables. •THIS COULD,” MacDonald asserted, "effectively cut off new building in areas that have already been approved. There are many questions to which the state hasn’t addressed itself and in which it doesn’t seem interested,” he maintainod.
