Mr. Whelchel said the spill occurred while public utilities employees were using a new procedure to move sludge from the Jack's Creek plant to the nearby No Business Creek plant which has facilities for drying sludge. An employee at the No Business Creek plant discovered that the flow of sludge into the plant had stopped, meaning a problem existed at the Jack's Creek plant Returning to the Jack's Creek plant, the employee discovered the leaking manhole shortly before 1 a.m., Mr. Whelchel said. Pumping the sludge, rather than transporting it in trucks, is efficient, Mr Whelchel said.

"We have been doing it for several weeks without problems," he said. The problem was complicated, Mr. Whelchel said, by the lack of a backup monitoring system, which was knocked out of service in Tues day's severe weather. Unlike Monday's spill, the Jack's Creek bypass was reported promptly to the state Environmental Protection Division (EPD), Mr. Hirt said.

"We called them at about 2 a.m.," he said. Jack Dozier, EPD's chief of water protection, on Wednesday criticized the county for a 15-hour delay in reporting Monday's spill. Mr. Whelchel admitted that he and workers at the Yellow RiverS-weetwater Creek plant "made a serious mistake" in not reporting Monday evening's spill until 10 a.m. Tuesday.

"We were concerned Monday; night that wastewater had entered, the river," Mr. Whelchel said. "We; walked the river with flashlights; and even got in at the lowest point-and did not believe there was wastewater in there." "But when we went back out: there Tuesday morning, we realized we had made a serious mistake," he added. Officials Believe Sabotage Cause Of Sewage Spill From Page 1J may be only a smokescreen. "That line of reasoning takes some of the pressure off of the county," Mr.

Hughey said. "There are three valves in the same area. Is it unreasonable to assume somebody turned the wrong one?" Mr. Hughey also said that just before the spill many more employees would have been at the plant raising questions about why officials have only questioned the three employees on duty when the spill was discovered. At the Jack's Creek sewage treatment plant, Thursday's spill was caused by a failed pump that Chinese restaurant Christian organization arranging the move, said they are a party of three sets of parents, one set of grandparents, a widowed grandmother, and 13 children, including a 1-year-old.

Soviet Pentecostals are "very quiet, wholesome, reverent and very austere in the way they dress," said Barbara Cocchi, a research developer for World Relief who is arranging the move. Their theological disputes with the state occur when "they teach their children to believe in God."

Under pressure from Gwinnett developers, commissioners have in recent weeks displayed a willingness to meet demands of homeowners who say measures taken have not solved problems with odors and noise at the plant "I think there's a consensus that we have to do what we have to do to satisfy the plaintiffs and the judge," said Commissioner C.

Such a moratorium would halt development in the Yellow River basin, threatening millions of dollars in planned developments.
