City staff reports sludge land-application volume and small projected cost increase
Summary
City staff told commissioners the city’s contractor applies about 3.6 million gallons of land-application sludge annually and that a 0.001 increase in the unit charge would raise city costs by about $3,600 a year.
During administrative responses, staff (Clerk, speaker 2) answered a commissioner’s question about sludge land application. The clerk reported that Mount Clemens contracts with Biotech to apply an average of 3,600,000 gallons of land-application sludge annually and estimated that an increase of 0.001 in the service rate would amount to approximately $3,600 annually.
Commissioners asked follow-up questions and the clerk confirmed the figures were averages and the return estimate was an approximate annual impact. No formal vote or budget amendment was proposed at the meeting; commissioners acknowledged the information as the response they sought.
