Georgia EPD investigates Portal sewage spill
EPD
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division is investigating what it terms a "major" sewage spill at a retention pond used by the city of Portal. State EPD officials performing a routine inspection Tuesday found an overflowing "stand pipe" behind the retention pond off U.S. Highway 80 West between Chipper's Lane and Larry Smith Road, said Bruce Foisy, district supervisor for EPD's Brunswick office. It is unusual to find an overflow pipe at such ponds, he said.
