QUESTIONS FROM CONGRESSMAN D' AMOURS 



1. What was the actual 1982 summer and winter sludge production 

 per day? 



Seasonal daily average sludge production figures are not 

 recorded numbers. They are computed numbers which merely 

 recognize the significant seasonal differences in daily sludge 

 production. The actual 1982 annual sludge production figures 

 are as follows: 



101,209,000 cu.ft. or 

 3,206,000 Wet Tons or 

 91,319 Dry Tons 

 Computation of a daily seasonal average based upon the above 

 figures yields the following: 



Summer - 317,447 cu.ft. /day 

 Winter - 236,458 cu.ft. /day 



2. What was the actual 1982 downtime for the City's sludge 

 vessels? For every year that a vessel has been in service 

 for the City, what has been the actual downtime for each 

 vessel? 



3. What is the capacity of each vessel? 



4. How many trips to the 12-mile site were made by each 

 vessel?
