Extra sludge must be disposed of at a state approved industrial waste disposal site. Record(s) of
sludge disposal shall be included in the certification of closure to be submitted to the DEQ upon
completion of the closure. The record should show how much sludge was removed and how
much was left in place.
 Impoundment T01 shall be back filled with soil borrowed from the proposed new stock water
impoundment in the adjacent area, placed in layers, compacted to a density matching the
surrounding native soils, graded in a manner to prevent erosion or pooling or runoff, seeded, and
stabilized with grass that is suitable for livestock pasture grazing.
b. Closure of the Underground Grease and Dirt Trap S01
 The wastewater in the underground tank shall be removed by a state licensed hauler and disposed
of at the City of Pryor municipal wastewater treatment.
 The emptied concrete tank is disposed of in-place, filled with clean fill soil, compacted to a
