Sludge Management Plan
Activated sludge is wasted to the aerobic digester. After complete digestion, the sludge is
wasted to the drying beds with the filtrate returning to the head of the plant. After drying, the
sludge is removed from the beds to a container supplied by Cleveland Container Company and
transferred to the approved BFI lined landfill in Charlotte, NC.
TCLP analysis was submitted and approved 12-10-96 and is due for renewal in February
1999.
The BFI waste approval certification is attached. The waste code number
NC/231/980/204/251455 is used on all manifest to the BFI Landfill.
