Comment on sewer plans
The Jeffersonville Sanitary Sewer Board is accepting public comment on its draft of the combined sewer overflow long-term control plan through March. Copies of the draft are available during regular business hours at the following locations:
• City Engineer’s Office, City Hall, 500 Quartermaster Court;
• Wastewater Treatment Plant, 1420 Pennsylvania Ave.; and,
• Jeffersonville Township Public Library, 211 E. Court Ave.
Comments may be presented to the board in writing on or before March 3, sent to the following address: Wastewater Department, Attention: Len Ashack, director, 1420 Pennsylvania Ave., Jeffersonville, IN, 47130
The board will host a public meeting to present the plan at 5 p.m. Feb. 18 in the mayor’s conference room at City Hall, 500 Quartermaster Court.
The plan is being developed in accordance with a legal agreement, known as the consent decree, between the sewer board, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The sewer board ratified the consent decree in August and it was later filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.

Commercial heifers and cows can also be brought to this enrollment date. 4-H’ers must be in the possession of the animals and be feeding and keeping records of their project. If the animals are not enrolled by the deadline date, they will not be eligible to be shown at the 2010 Clark County 4-H Fair.
All animals must be owned or owned in partnership by the 4-H member. First year 4-H members must join a local 4-H club and turn in a 2010 Clark County 4-H member enrollment form to the Clark County Extension Office prior to Feb. 13 to be eligible.
Clark County follows Indiana State Fair guidelines for enrollment and identification of all livestock. Therefore, if any 4-H’er is interested in exhibiting at the 2010 Indiana State Fair, to be held Aug. 6-22, notify the Extension Office to obtain further State Fair guidelines.
New in 2010, the County Fair & State Fair beef entries will have to have a RFID tag and 4-H’ers must provide a premise ID number. Contact the Clark County Extension Office at 812-256-4591 for 4-H Livestock Enrollment Forms or more information.
