Document Description
The project consists of the construction of a 10 foot by 13 foot building on the concrete compost pad at the Western Placer Materials Recovery Facility. Periodically, approximately two cubic yards of digested, Class B sewage sludge from the City of Roseville or SMD#1 will be placed in this building to dry. The amount of heat and light allowed to enter the building will be varied to determine the optimum drying temperature and the drying times under these varying conditions. A blower system, sized to replace the volume of air in the building every hour, will be installed. The dried sludge will be used as alternative daily cover at the adjacent Western Regional Sanitary Landfill.
