J ne RSJ/mj Enclosures Sludge Management Plan for Willowbrook Park Wastewater Treatment Plant Because ofthe limited use ofthe Willowbrook Park Wastewater Treatment Plant, very little sludge (or other solids) are generated. The facility has made arrangements for disposition of those solids generated as follows: a) The Operator first disposes of the solids in the digester on site. b) When the digester is full, or nearly so, the solids are disposed of by employing a local septic tank truck operator to pump and haul them to the Town of Franklin Wastewater Treatment Plant on Lake Emory Road. All fees involved in the pump hauling and disposition are paid for by Indian Bend Properties, Inc. and/or the Willow Brook Park Homeowners Associationa. The policy above set forth is in effect as of the date hereof. Indian Bend Properties, Inc. By: _ A)- A- '. "aa—, I - R. S.
