Ethanol dumped into North Carolina wastewater system

February 11, 2014 |

In North Carolina, ethanol was apparently dumped into the wastewater system near Charlotte that flowed into the Sugar Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, though it’s not yet clear if the dumping was intentional or accidental. The ethanol was discovered because of the strange odor that was coming off of the water in the system, with first suspect being PCBs rather than ethanol.
