This alert was received this morning from the New River Foundation in Jacksonville, NC:

We had another sewage spill this week. This time it's 2.1 million gallons into Chaney Creek. As I get more info I'll send it on to you. You can see the location of the spill on this map.

There's a bright red Confirmed Pollution point where the lift station failed. Evidently 3 separate monitoring systems failed and allowed this massive spill. (map image after the jump)

I just got this message from the New River Foundation that I wanted to pass along. Have a great Thanksgiving:

"We were hoping to take advantage of the Thanksgiving holiday season to express our thanks for your friendship and support in restoring and protecting the New River. However, we must use this opportunity to relate some unfortunate news instead.
