Biosolids Disposal Services, Shenandoah National Park, 2023

BACKGROUND

Shenandoah National Park operates two tertiary treatment extended aeration sewage treatment plants with drying beds. The drying beds are used to dry consolidated slurry of biosolids. The solids are dried to a very low moisture content and then loaded into a storage bunker at Big Meadows Wastewater Treatment Plant. Two to three times a year, the bunker gets full enough to where it needs to be hauled. Park staff will remove from the bunker and load onto a contractor’s truck approximately 15-20 tons of biosolids each load.
