The Herald - BOF votes to table denitrification facility
Southington is presently releasing 900 pounds of nitrogen into the Quinnipiac River per day. In 2005, the town paid the state $170,000 into the credit exchange and, with an increase in 2006, the town paid $280,000.
John Pearson, an engineer with Metcalf and Eddy Inc., the company contracted by the Town Council to design and construct the facility, presented the proposal to the board. The proposal consisted of comparison analysis of the cost to build the denitrification plant versus continuing to partake in The Nitrogen Credit Exchange Program.
