New Bern seeks dismissal of hearing on Trent River sewer line
City Manager Bill Hartman says the request to reconsider a Division of Environmental Management permit is an appeal not a suit. Neuse River Foundation and Rick Dove argue the permit lacks an environmental assessment for the Weyerhaeuser Taberna sewer pipeline crossing the Trent River. Construction is to start within 30 days, with discharge pipes running beneath the Freedom Memorial Bridge on US 70 Bypass.
