Per
my
conversation
with
Chuck
Durham,
two
authorities
in
Tennessee
have
had
problems
with
meat
processors
as
indirect
dischargers:

1.
City
of
Paris,
contact:
Dana
Tillett
(
731)
642­
5691.
Discharger
is
Tennessee
Valley
Hams.
Lagoons
crusting
over
with
O&
G.
(
If
we
call
Mr.
Tillett,
mention
Chuck's
name)

2.
Town
of
Newbern,
contact:
ST
Environmental:
Jim
Cooper,
Operator
(
731)
627­
1147.
Discharger
is
Jimmy
Dean
Sausage.
Jimmy
Dean
has
an
on­
site
treatment
system
(
lagoons)
at
the
POTW.
Jim
also
operates
other
facilities,
so
he
may
know
of
other
POTWs
with
similar
issues.

 
Per
my
conversation
with
Nilesh
Naik,
NJ
DEP
(
609)
633­
3823,
he
cannot
recall
any
cases
where
meat
processors
have
interfered
with
POTW
operations.
