Association, Inc. There have been no changes to the facility or the outfall since the last

Sludge Management Plan
This facility stores waste sludge in a 20,000 gallon holding tank where it is
gravimetrically settled and the supernatant is drawn off and sent through the
plants process for treatment. The waste sludge, when it has been sufficiently
dewatered, is pumped into a tanker truck and hauled to a large plant in
Fletcher by Goldie and Associates. During the summer months, our highest
flows, we haul one load a week. During lower flows the rest of the year it is
once a month or less.
