explore hauling their septage to Remington.
He said if they cannot reach an agreement with that plant, he could revise the manual to specify gradually feeding septage into the sludge digestion tank rather than the beginning point of the plant, without treating it with lime of aerating it.
Mr. Orr asked how sludge from the plant is handled. Member Charles K. “Pete” Estes said Recyc Systems of Remington hauls it away. Mr. Orr asked if it was land applied, and Mr.Estes said, “I don’t know.”
Mr. Estes said probably most of the septage would end up as sludge, and the WSA should explore the cost of having it hauled directly to Remington as opposed to the cost of having it become sludge and then paying Recyc to take it.
WSA members agreed to contact the Remington plant.
As the meeting was winding down, Mr. Estes said the authority and county should look at putting in a second treatment plant to serve the schools, general commercial district and possibly the town of Washington. He said building a plant to serve the elementary school might cost up to $50,000 per year for operations.
The county would have to pick up that operations cost, and Mr. Estes said the county would benefit from having private businesses share the cost of sewage treatment. He said the county also has an interest in seeing that septic systems serving businesses in the general commercial area do not contaminate wells that serve the schools.
