A notice of appeal was filed Wednesday with the Environmental Review Appeals Commission in answer to the permit to install granted for the Devola Sewer Project.
Greg DeGulis, attorney for the group Devola Against Sewering Homes, said it is an administrative appeal of the director’s decision to grant the permit to install the sewer in Devola.
DASH is made of opponents of the Devola Sewer Project, which will affect about 560 households using either drywell disposal systems or septic tanks for wastewater.

Devola’s upcoming sewering was debated at Thursday’s meeting of the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
Devola resident Glenn Pawloski asked the commission if they had talked to the township association that a majority of households in Devola do not support or want to be sewered. The township association had met Wednesday night at the offices of Washington County Engineer Roger Wright.
“Did you inform the township association that merely 161 of 563 Devola households approved the (right of entry) agreements solicited by Heritage Land Services on behalf of the Washington County Commission?” he asked.
Commissioner Jamie Booth said he was at last week’s meeting and they had asked for a letter of support for H20 funding, not as a consent decree or that they have a final permit to install.
