Central Division facility for the purpose of "seeding" a new or under loaded
plant.

properly disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1. Contract
haulers used by Aqua N.C, Central Division will be required to report the
quantity of sludge transported and identify the location of the proposed
disposal site if the sludge is not taken to an existing plant operated by Aqua
N.C., Central Division. Aqua N.C., Central Division has not entered into
any agreement to accept sludge into its facilities from plants not owned by
them.
Aqua N.C., Central Division will keep records on the quantity of sludge
removed from each facility, the name of the contract hauler, and the
destination of the sludge (whether used in another plant or disposed of).
The information will be kept on file and will be made available to any
regulatory agency having Jurisdiction over sludge treatment or disposal
Aqua N.C., Central Division includes facilities under the Jurisdiction of the
Raleigh, Wilmington and Fayetteville Regional Offices.
