Narrative Description of the Sludge Management Plan for:
Pilot Travel Center # 393-WWTP

Waynesville, NC 28726
It is my understanding that the sludge from this waste water treatment plant (WTPP) is
wasted from the clarifier as process control dictates necessity. Sludge is collected in a
dedicated tank for thickening. Mike Smith, a North Carolina licensed waste hauler, hauls
the thickened sludge to the local WWTP for disposal.
