Wellfield protection and hazardous materials storage
Summary
A machine shop near the Murphree Wellfield's tertiary protection zone stores about 140 gallons of hazardous materials, above the 25-gallon threshold that triggers a special permit. The board approved the permit after environmental reviewers concluded containment measures — flammable cabinets, spill pallets, no floor drains — protect the drinking water supply.
