Rance –
– Heartland environmental treatment plan for lagoons. We have a sludge problem in Cell 1 that is encouraging algae growth in cells 2 & 3. The inoculation dose would be using all 3 S.E.B.S. for sludge/algae. 10 gal per cell – 30 gal + 30 gal = 60 gal at the price of $38/gal = $2280.00
Remaining treatment plan would be 10 gal per week in cell 1 for the remaining 18 weeks. Estimated cost of treatment to year end = $6840.00. The City Council wanted to see if the company had any other recommendations, and would like to know what KDHE and Jeff Lamfers say before we commit to using it. Put on next council agenda.
