With the resignation of a Geauga County Department of Water Resourcesâ operator, the McFarland Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is no longer in state compliance, department Director Steve Oluic informed commissioners last week.
The Geauga Commissioners approved the resignation of the class three McFarland plant operator during the Jan. 5 meeting. Dr. Oluic told the commissioners that this is the second and final class three plant operator heâs lost, and with no class three operators, the McFarland plant is officially out of compliance under Ohio Environmental Protection Agency regulations until they can find a replacement for the position.
âThey both left for pay reasons,â Dr. Oluic said, explaining the first person to resign moved to a North Royalton plant where he would make an additional $9 per hour compared to Geauga and the second operator to resign moved to a Bedford Heights plant to make an additional $3 per hour.

Seattle cultural space liaison Matt Richter said the new, independent, mission-driven public development authority will operate as a developer with a conscience.
Along with fulfilling other possible property acquisition and management roles, the CSA will lease spaces, buy buildings or shares in buildings, and partner with members of Seattle s cultural community to control those spaces. The agency essentially aims to slow displacement and prevent big corpor
