The air is stopped to allow the solids to settle and the supernate is decanted back to the aeration basin until the solids concentration reaches +- 2.00%. After digestion the solids are pumped to a sand drying bed. The filtrate is returned to the head of the plant. After dewatering the dried cake is removed and placed in a covered container supplied by Republic Services, Inc. The Filled container is then transported to Foothills Landfill with the required signed manifest. The completed manifest is then signed by a representative of the landfill and returned to the Town of Grover where it is kept on file. An agreement for disposal of the dried sludge is renewed as needed with all parties along with required testing. TOWN OF GROVER WWTP FLOW DIAGRAM rge
