Abstract |
This volume concerning the Metro Denver Sludge Management Plan presents written responses to the draft EIS, a discussion of the principal issues and problems with the project, and their resolution. Written responses received on the draft EIS and at the public hearings held in conjunction with the review of the draft EIS are presented. Specific EPA responses are provided alongside the comments. Thirty-one principal issues are identified and discussed. These issues are broken down into five areas: pipeline and central plant issues, drying site issues, present operations, alternatives and sludge use issues. Each of these are discussed in turn, with detailed information provided where needed. Issues are presented in a conclusive manner; i.e., they are either judged important, unimportant, or in need of further study. Appendix A contains a proposed list of grant conditions for successive phases of work on the Metro Denver sludge plan, based on the issues discussions. Appendix B contains the proposed State of Colorado guidelines for agricultural applications of sludge. (Portions of this document are not fully legible) |
