RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Governor's Club Wastewater Treatment Plant generates screenings and residuals as part of the
treatment processes. Screenings removed by the headworks fine screen are to be collected in a
dumpster and removed from the facility for disposal at a sanitary landfill. The residuals generated by the
extended aeration and clarifier processes are aerobically digested and stored in one of the on -site
aerated sludge holding tanks. The holding tanks are regularly emptied by a licensed sludge hauler and
handler for off -site residuals disposal.
Records of sludge hauling activities including the name of the residuals hauler, the residuals hauling
date, and the volume of residuals removed are kept in the on -site facility log book.
