Section 391.301  Sludge

Transport Design

Sludge shall be transported from

the treatment plant to the application site or storage facilities in accordance

with the following criteria:

a)         Liquid sludge shall be transported in a closed vessel which

shall not allow any leakage or spillage on any public road or right of way;

b)         Pipelines transporting liquid sludge shall be made of material

and joints so as to eliminate leakage or spillage;

c)         Open dump trucks may be utilized for transporting dewatered

sludge (>15% total solids) if equipped and operated so as to prevent

spillage or wind-blown particles.  If the travel distance exceeds 10 miles (one

way), the person transporting the sludge shall consider covering or enclosing

the vehicle to prevent spillage or wind-blown particles;

d)         Sludge transfer or receiving stations shall be designed and

constructed to prevent or contain any leakage or spillage of sludge.
