The photo above is of two mounds of human feces, (SHIT) drying out near Sludge Pit #2. Notice there is NO liner underneath and know for a FACT Citizens, this is blatantly illegal. IF you're in this business and you handle human feces, (SHIT) you know damn well this is illegal.
How the Mayor and Jacobs run around stating they are 99% compliant and ACT as if they've done nothing wrong, this photo proves they are liars and con artists. You cleaned this up because you had to clean it up! NOT because you were doing the right thing, you broke the law to start with.
I was 50 - 50 on my answer shiznit but,not Barries' backyard!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I'm President of the "What A Guy Club." LMAO!
ReplyDeleteFrightening!
ReplyDeleteSludge is a generic term for solids separated from suspension in a liquid by a variety of processes. Most commonly sludge refers to solid waste extracted in the process of sewage treatment; the term sewage sludge is used commonly. When fresh sewage or wastewater is added to a settling tank, approximately 50% of the suspended solid matter will settle out in about an hour and a half. This collection of solids is known as raw sludge or primary solids and is said to be "fresh" before anaerobic processes become active. Once anaerobic bacteria take over, the sludge will become putrescent in a short time and must be removed from the sedimentation tank before this happens.
ReplyDeleteThis is commonly accomplished by two different ways. In an Imhoff tank, fresh sludge is passed through a slot to the lower story or digestion chamber where decomposition by anaerobic bacteria takes place resulting in liquefaction and a reduction in the volume of the sludge. After digesting for an extended period of time, the result is called "digested" sludge and may be disposed of by drying and then landfilling. Alternately, the fresh sludge may be continuously extracted from the tank by mechanical means and passed on to separate sludge digestion tanks which operate at higher temperatures than the lower story of the Imhoff tank and as a result digest much more rapidly and efficiently. Excess solids from biological processes such as activated sludge can also be referred to as sludge, although more often called “biosolids,” a public relations term that is increasingly used by water professionals in the United States. Digested sewage sludge can be used as an organic soil conditioner, although if proper precautions are not taken, it may contain toxic materials. After the 1991 Congressional ban on ocean dumping, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) instituted a policy of digested sludge reuse on agricultural land. EPA promoted this policy by presenting it as recycling. This practice has been controversial, with illness being reported after exposure to field applied digested sludge. No firm connection between illness rates and digested sewage sludge has been established.
The treatment process
Sewage sludge is produced from the treatment of wastewater and consists of two basic forms – raw primary sludge (basically faecal material) and secondary sludge (a living ‘culture’ of organisms that help remove contaminants from wastewater before it is returned to rivers or the sea). The sludge is transformed into biosolids using a number of complex treatments such as digestion, thickening, dewatering, drying and lime stabilisation.
Benefits of treatment
The treatment process reduces the water content of the sludge, reduces its ability to produce gas and renders it virtually free from harmful organisms. Treated biosolids are therefore easily transportable, less odorous and almost 100% pathogen free. Some treatments also reduce the amount of waste, as the solids content of treated sludge is lower than that of raw sludge
Having worked in a sewage treatment plant...I'm just trying to clarify some terms for your readers. In no way am I justifing what the city has done. I'm just trying to show, it's not fecal matter.
Caughtit,
ReplyDeleteI thank you for the expert information you have provided.
Not to discredit your information at all, with all the lies we have been gifted with by John Jacobs, Dave Winslow and Barrie Tilghman, how and or should we believe the City too those steps to assure this wasn't solid fecal matter?
There was no liner underneath and the City was sited for such. If this were not material that could in fact harm the environment, then why is a liner mandatory? Secondly, they were also sited for not covering these mounds with plastic as well.
With all due respect, I thank you but I do not trust and or believe the people mentioned above, nor did the MDE, hence the $10,000.00 fine.
A rose by any other name.......
