Description and Writeup
Complainant states that: On Tuesday June 25, 2024, two truck loads of waste were dumped onto a drying pad at Clarksville Waste Water Treatment Plant. The waste appeared to have some sort of oily material, as it was black in color, slick, and repelled water. As it sat in the pad, any runoff from this waste was pumped into the treatment plant. The waste was put into a dumpster, and that dumpster was then put under a trash chute to be covered with garbage. I’m not sure what will happen with this particular dumpster, but they are usually dumped into a landfill. It’s unclear what this material is, or if it is safe, as no testing was performed.
CLW Called Brian Shelton with Clarksville WWTP-Lift Station 1-2 years ago that industrial used had discharged oil/ black substance, did clean up and billed them and enforced against. He received call from sewer crews to go back out there and looks like residuals were still in the pipe and were pumped out and sent to the WWTP. Mr. Shelton was unaware they pumped and brought it to the WWTP until it had happened. Industry is Hancook (waiting for verification from PT coordinator), uses carbon black in industry process, fine graphite powder that can look really dark. Called landfill to determine what they can do, mix rags from pumped loads with headworks sludge usually, landfill said they were okay with them bringing it to them and mixing as usual. Mr. Shelton unsure if it has made it to the landfill yet and they did not see an interruption in treatment at the WWTP. Waiting for additional details from PT coordinator.
