Waste Water Bio Solids

Sludge Management: Steps are taken to minimize any adverse environmental impact of sludge processing and to beneficially reuse and safely dispose of treated sludge.

Sludge is anaerobically digested to level B category and applied to permitted agricultural land sites under the guidance of the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality Approved Sludge Management Plan and Federal ”503” Regulation. The City of Norman presently land applies liquid sludge and is also equipped to process sludge into cake form during extended wet weather conditions to ensure groundwater protection from contaminates as well as appropriate vector control measures. Bio-Solids Management Program: Land application for beneficial use on rural agricultural land – primarily Bermuda and native grass.
