A new permit issued to Forsyth County will allow allow millions of gallons of treated sewage to enter the Chattahoochee River every day says Sally Bethea (MCP '80). As executive director of Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, Bethea has worked to set stricter limits on the amount of bacteria and phosphorous Forsyth will be allowed to dump into the river, but she says the new permit is 100 times less protective of water quality than the limits set for other discharges in the Atlanta area
