Dear Mr. Thornburg:
The Metropolitan Sewerage District (MSD) is requesting that the above subject permit be
rescinded. The permit is set to expire at the end of this year and is no longer necessary for
processing biosolids generated by the Water Reclamation Facility. Incineration of biosolids
has been the select final disposal method and has proven to be successful for over the past
two decades. For backup added support, MSD has a working relationship with the
Buncombe County Landfill should the incinerator be out of service for any reason. In late
2015, an extensive incinerator upgrade project required the incinerator to shut down for
forty (40) days. Major equipment has removed and replaced with improvements made to
air quality controls. During that time all biosolids generated at the treatment plant were
successfully transported and placed in the receiving landfill without problems occurring.
MSD continues to maintain this relationship and option.
Please do not hesitate to contact Roger Edwards at 828-225-8224, if you or your staff has
questions or concerns.
