A Cape Henlopen area wastewater treatment plant has violated the state’s water-pollution laws.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that treated wastewater wound up being sprayed on fields that were found to be too wet or frozen to absorb.
The paper reports that the incident took place in early March when the water could be observed as running off the field.
The Wolfe Neck Wastewater Treatment Plant was cited on March 18th for the violation.
The Sussex County will not be fined but will be forced to building a buffer to comply with the law.
