The City of North Battleford was provided Monday with a look at an amended Permit to Operate a Sewage Works from the Water Security Agency.
For the most part, the terms of the amended permit are the same as the previous permit, but the amendments allow for disposal of the biosolids that are being stored in the bio-solids pond. The old permit did not have the clause.
“It allows the City to get rid of their sludge,” said City Director of Operations Stewart Schafer, and conduct a few more tests, in particular the Five Day Biological Oxygen Demand tests (BODs) as well as Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand tests (cBODs).
