Water Better; Beaches Open

CREST HAVEN - The county Health Department decided Saturday morning to permit beaches off the Wildwoods to remain open. It made that determination based on a special fiveday sampling following high fecal coliform bacteria counts in the regular sampling of Aug. 6. The special sampling of Aug. 12-16 showed sufficient improvement to make a ban unnecessary, according to county Health Officer Louis J. La manna He noted, however, that the dozen-street area between Montgomery, and Bennett in Wildwood had counts of "greater than 2,400 MPN (Most Probable Number) on two to those days. The state water quality standard for ocean waters is 50. LAMANNA HAS diagnosed, and no one has denied, that the ocean water problem was the result of effluent from the North Wildwood sewage treatment plant whose outfall line dischares into Hereford Inlet. -The effluent flushes east into the ocean then moves south, along the beaches. That plant, and all the plants in the Wildwoods, are considered antiquated and over capacity. They're supposed to be closed in July 1988, when the county Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA) is scheduled to open its Wildwood-Lower Regional waste water treatment plant on Rio Grande in Middle Township Except for North Wildwood, the plants discharge effluent into the and the county banned primary conrecreational water activities within a quarter mile of the plants and their discharge lines. THE MOST RECENT backbay sampling (a chart appears on page 9) shows why. There were high counts in Avalon, Stone ^Harbor, North Wildwood; Wildwood; Wildwood

Crest; and Lower Township's Diamond Beach, Cold Spring Inlet and Schellenger's Landing. The Health Department usualify doesn't bother testing for higher than 2,400 MPN, since that's bad enough. But Lamanna said two weeks ago it did a special test in the backbay off the Wildwood sewage . treatment plant and got a reading of greater than 240,000. That's the equivalent of pure, untreated sewage. North Wildwood sewage treatment plant operator Leslie Cline told this newspaper last week that that plant has a licensed capacity of 2.1 million gallons-a-day and gets as high as 3.4 million gallons on weekends. "I'M CHLORINATING two machines at full capacity," he said. "I only have four pumps here and, when we reach capacity, that's all I can pump. "When it backs up in the system and the sewage runs over the curbs," he said, "I'm putting chlorine in the storm sewer catch basins". He said he had 75 calls the weekend of Aug. 10-11 as the result of sewerage problems and "men working all kinds of hours." Cline pointed out that the plant was built in 1928 and the borough is spending $250,000 this year to upgrade it. "We're definitely spending some money here," he said. CLINE CONFIRMED that the borough was cited last week by the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for two problems. A front-end loader that removes grit was down, and new flights and chains couldn't be placed in primary settling tanks because of high flows. Both functions, he said are "part of the sewage treatment plant process. "All that can be done is being done," said Cline. "We're in the midst of the season."
