No one thinks much about the sewer system in any city; if all your waste disappears folks are happy. But some people think a lot about these systems and one group is the Environmental Protection Agency.
All publicly owned treatment works (POTW) in the United States operate under conditions specified in a treatment permit issued by the EPA through Regional Water Control Boards (RWCB) consistent with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements.
These permits list specific conditions that the operator, in this case the city of Lompoc, must comply with.
On April 20 the Lompoc City Council conducted a hearing to discuss responses to an administrative order issued by the EPA concerning deficiencies found during an audit of wastewater plant operations.

A weekly swap meet could return to Old Town Lompoc sometime in 2021 with the city as the operator.
The Lompoc City Council recently approved the Recreation Division s proposal to develop and operate the event in a downtown parking lot after debating several aspects and delaying a decision last summer.

As 2020 comes to an end, it’s time to look forward. This year was one of the most chaotic of any in my adult life. Hopefully, the problems caused by a disease pass by and we can return to what was normal before politicians got into the doctoring business.
In September 2017, the Lompoc City Council agreed to divide the city into four political districts; each would have the same number of registered voters and was the result of a citizen complaint on April 25, 2017, alleging that the California Voters Rights Act was being violated. It’s interesting to note that neither of the complainants has since applied to serve on any city commission nor have they run for office.
