SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
This facility operates approximately eight to nine months annually. It is a package facility
designed for .025 6PD. Average flow is 1000-3000 SPD. During peak flow times, solids
inventory has not been a problem. Solids have been removed to provide seed sludge to a
neighboring plant start-up. In any event solids do become high, a septage removal truck
will be called and solids pumped out and taken for disposal.
