Abstract |
This project demonstrated that land application is feasible and practical for a metropolitan treatment plant for disposal of a large volume (265,000 cu m) of stabilized, liquid sewage sludge stored in lagoons. The project involved transportation of sludge by semi-trailer tankers and either surface or subsurface application with conventional equipment to cropland. All sludge was applied on privately-owned land in an adjacent, rural county through a cooperative agreement between the farmer and contractor. The report illustrates that the planning and conduct of a land application project requires expertise from a diversity of technical and sociological disciplines. |
