No changes have been made to operational procedures nor to the method of discharging the water. The supplied form (Si fort Form C) is different from what we have been asked to fill Out previously and requests the discharge volume of water not asked for in the past. This is non -contact water and is discharged at about ground ambient temperature. It has nothing added to it in the process of use. The Sanitary Water is processed in a septic tank. From the septic tank it is filtered through a sand filter into a chlorinating unit then discharged. Thera; is no process water discharged from this plant and consequently no resulting sludge management.
