Summary

Sanitary District staff said the North Fork Wastewater Treatment Plant will remove roughly 2,500 dry tons of sludge using a sludge press and will need additional CIP funding; the Board was informed but took no immediate action.

Sam Dinges, representing the county's sanitary districts, described a planned sludge removal operation at the North Fork Wastewater Treatment Plant. He said the project uses a sludge press and that solids will be delivered to the landfill, with about 2,500 dry tons identified for removal at this time.

Dinges told the Board additional capital improvement funding will be needed to complete the full scope of the project. He said the current funding aligns with a two-month run if started in the fall but that longer-term CIP planning will be required. The presentation was informational; no ordinance or motion was brought forward at this meeting.
