It’s NPDES Permit No. GAJ020022.

We do not know exactly when the drone images were taken, but sometime between about June and November 2022.

I have repeatedly asked for a tour of Quitman’s wastewater facilities, over many months. So far, their contractor has only delayed doing that.

Here’s a playlist of two drone videos:

You’ll find the entrance with signs saying keep out at 12318 E US 84, Quitman, GA 31643. On US 84 east of Quitman, turn right just before Okapilco Creek, in Brooks County. See the pictures of that entrance I took July 5, 2024.

The Quitman LAS is uphill from Okapilco Creek.

Okapilco Creek runs into the Withlacoochee River between US 84 and Knights Ferry Boat Ramp, upstream from Florida.
