There are no sludge handling treatment units on-site, nor is the sludge discharge to the receiving waters. DDK Environmental, Inc. is employed to pump and remove excess solids as indicated by the increasing MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids). The Operator in responsible charge or on-site operator makes this assessment based on MLSS lab results. As the MLSS increases beyond the recommended concentration, solids are wasted from the activated sludge system. The contract hauler takes the waste activated sludge to a local municipality which accepts such or to another wastewater treatment plant which has experienced an upset and is in need of reseeding. Should you have any questions regarding the pumping and disposal of sludge for this facility, please contact: DDK Environmental, Inc., (828)884-5589(Tom Kilpatrick) �T.
