General information: Facility System Name: NC Justice Academy WWTP Responsible Entity: James Erwin Jr. Person in Charge: James Erwin Jr. Applicable Permit: NPDES # NCO086070 Sludge management plan: This facility builds sludge slowly, due to the low influent flow( averages 4000 gallons per day). As the need for sludge removal becomes apparent it will be wasted to the digester where it will be stored and thickened for cost effective hauling. As we build more information or the flow increases at this facility it may become necessary to increase the frequency in hauling. Sludge removal will be by truck by Mike's Septic, (828-253-2612) a local pump truck contractor. He will haul the sludge to disposal at the Town of Brevard or the City of Hendersonville waste treatment facility. All associated costs of this hauling will be paid by Henderson County Utilities Department Removal and management of this sludge will be done in a timely manner and in the best interests of facility operation and the environment. No sludge has been removed from this facility from start up until June 2003( 3000 gallons removed). Another 1000 gallons was removed in July 2003, the remainder of the load (1500 Gallons was pumped out of the influent lift station for clean up. No sludge has been removed August 2003 to March 2005. Notification: This report will be delivered to Henderson County Utilities Department to the attention of: Mr. James Erwin Jr. Conclusion: The NC Justice Academy waste treatment facility is well designed for the existing flow and is a pleasure to operate. Everyone involved at the Henderson County Utilities Department should be commended for the care and management of this facility and the envirorunent. Certification: I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
