EPA may budge on nitrogen limit for wastewater treatment plant

EXETER, N.H. — As of right now, the nitrogen limit set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the wastewater treatment plant in Exeter, N.H. is 3 milligrams per liter, according to seacoastonline.com.

After officials from Exeter met with Carl DeLoi of the EPA’s Office of Ecosystem Protection, it seems the EPA might consider lowering that level, stated the article.

Many of the surrounding areas are looking for funds to make upgrades to meet the treatment standard goal, according to the article.

The selection of "lowering" in the second paragraph to describe the potential action is deceptive. "Lowering" suggests a more stringent limit (less than 3 mg/l). In reading the full article, it is apparent that consideration is being given to a higher nitrogen limit. Change "lowering" to "raising" or "relaxing". I suggest more care in preparing articles such as this one in the future.
