SECTION 2
ENGINEERING REPORT
SLUDGE LOADING CALCULATIONS

1. INTRODUCTION
The Town of Old Fort is proposing to enter into an agricultural recycling program
for the ultimate disposal of sludge generated from its wastewater treatment plant.
Since all land to be .used in the program is privately owned farm land, agreements
have been signed between the Town and the Owners of the sites. All sites in the
program will receive sludge which is applied at agronomical rates. At no time shall
application rates exceed the acceptable safe levels for agronomical application.
The report contains information about the operation of the Town's wastewater
treatment plant and the sludge it generates. Included is a sludge analysis which
is the basis for calculating the acceptable application rates. Also in this report will
be information concerning the individual sites, including a copy of the Agreement
with the property owners, topographic and soil maps and an aerial photograph
showing the sites with wells and soil -sample locations. Finally, a copy of the soil
scientist's report is included characterizing soil and topographic conditions at the
sites based on field observations and sampling.

II. SLUDGE PRODUCTION
The Town of Old Fort owns and operates a wastewater treatment plant with a
capacity of 800,000 gpd. Approximately 75 percent of the wastewater b r�volume
treated at tkie.--plant-is—o industrial origin. The plant uses an oxidation ditch
operated in the extended aeration mode for carbonaceous removal, followed by
external clarification. Sludge production from this process is estimated to be 300
lb./day or 55 dry tons per year. This waste sludge is anaerobically digested at 0.6
percent solids, prior to dewatering on conventional sand drying beds to a solids
concentration of 25 percent. The estimated volume of sludge generated for land
application in this fashion is 140 gallons per day.

III. SLUDGE ANALYSIS
Sludge produced at the Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant has been analyzed
to determine its constituents, the amount of land area required for disposal and the
safe loading rate of sludge applied to the land. The results of these calculations
are presented in Table 1. Prior to commencement of each land application cycle
a new composite sludge sample shall be analyzed for ammonia nitrogen, total
Kjeldahl nitrogen, (TKN), nitrate, nitrite, phosphorus, metals, and EP toxicity.
Based upon the results of the updated analysis, the projected sludge loading rate
shall be calculated and adjusted if necessary. This procedure shall be repeated
prior to each and every application cycle to insure maximum safety in the program.
According to calculations summarized in Table 1, 3.8 acres are required to accept
the estimated annual sludge production of 55 tons at 25 percent solids. This
sludge application program proposes to permit a, total of 140.5 acres. This area
is sufficient to accept 2,037 tons of sludge per year according to the calculations,
limited by the required Nitrogen loading. Site life is controlled by Copper in the
sludge which limits use of the permitted land to 281 years.

IV. RECEIVER SITES
Seven (7) receiver sites totaling 140.5 acres are proposed, located on farms near
Old Fort, North Carolina. These sites are shown on Figure 1 and described in
detail in Section 4. A thorough discussion of soil conditions at these sites is found
in Appendix A, Soil - Scientist's Report.

V. METHOD OF OPERATION
The Town of Old Fort proposes to engage a private contractor for the hauling and
land application of sludge produced at the Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Under normal conditions, sludge will be removed from existing drying beds and/or
a proposed sludge storage facility, consisting of a 35' x 40' concrete pad. The
dried sludge will be hauled to the application sites by truck and applied either with
normal farm manure or fertilizer spreading equipment, depending on the actual
moisture content of the sludge.
As an alternative, sludge may be pumped directly out of the digester into tanker
trucks, to be transported to the land application site. Sludge application vehicles
with 2000 gallon capacity, equipped with pumps, high flotation tires, and spray
nozzles will then be used to distribute the sludge on the ground surface.
Sludge application will be done only during good weather conditions when the
ground is not frozen and relatively dry. Each land owner will be notified
approximately one (1) month prior to the scheduled date of application and the
Town will co-ordinate application sites with the land owners so sludge is applied
during a time that does not disrupt normal farming operations. Each landowner
will be responsible for applying lime to their sites, in the amount stipulated by the
Town prior to any sludge application, except for the initial application, for which the
Town will be responsible.

VI. RECORD KEEPING AND CROP MANAGEMENT
The Town of Old Fort shall be responsible for managing the land application
program. After each application of Contractor shall submit a report to the Town
for submittal to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management,
Asheville Regional Office, which will outline the total number of gallons of sludge
hauled from the plant, the total gallons applied and the destination. The report
shall list the total number of gallons applied to each site, size, total number of
gallons applied during cycle, crop being grown on site, amount of each sludge
constituent added in pounds and either projected or actual harvest date for the
crop. A copy of the proposed form for submittal with the report is contained in
Appendix B.
In order to supplement each land application report the Contractor shall also be
responsible for providing the necessary data for filing an end of year report with
the Division of Environmental Management. This report shall list the total amount
of sludge and sludge constituents applied to the land during the life of the
agricultural recycling program. The Town will have soil samples taken on each site
and shall direct each property owner as to the correct types and amount of fertility
supplements required and the proper amounts of lime necessary to maintain the
desirable pH level required for each site. The results of the tests and the amount
of crop supplements added to each site shall be summarized in the report. The
end of year report shall also include a complete analysis of the sludge produced
at the plant. Sludge application rate shall be adjusted each year, if necessary, to
account for -any changes in sludge content.

OLD FORT SLUDGE RECEIVER SITE
M. H. TERRELL FARM
FARM NO. 4
SITE NO. 4
Sludge receiver Site No. 4 is owned by M. H. Terrell. The site contains 6.2 acres
located immediately south of Old Fort off Catawba River Road.
Site No. 4 is a field used as pasture and for hay production. Topography is gentle
with slopes less than four (4) percent. The soils are typical of those found on steam
terraces in the area, being deep and well -drained, comprised of old stream sediments.
Buffers of 100 feet are held from the property lines on the east, north and west
boundaries of the site. A buffer of 400 feet is also maintained between the site and a
water supply well serving the Town of Old Fort, located to the west. The Catawba River
flows from west to east across the southern boundary of the site. Although the majority
of the site lies within the 100 year flood plain, the northern two-thirds of the site is rarely
flooded. In any case, application of sludge will not be allowed during high water events
which inundate the application area.

OLD FORT SLUDGE RECEIVER SITE
RUTH M. GREENLEE FARM
FARM NO. 6
SITE NOS. 6A and 613
Sludge receiver sites 6A and 6B are owned by Ruth M. Greenlee. The sites
contain a total of 42.0 acres located off Greenlee Road bounded on the east by the
Catawba River and the north by the Southern Railroad tracks.
Both sites are leased for farming at the present time. The fields have been planted
in corn and soybeans most recently. Topography is rather gentle, with slopes not
exceeding six (6) percent across both sites. Soils are very deep and well drained, typical
of old stream sediment soils found on high stream terraces, footslopes, and fans in the
area.
Buffers of 100 feet are held from the property lines around the site. A 400 foot
buffer is also maintained from a well serving the Greenlee house. Since the Catawba
River creates a broad 100 year flood plain across the site, sludge will not be applied
during any high water events.

APPENDIX A
SOIL SCIENTIST'S REPORT

Site Investigation
For
The Town of Old Fort
McDowell County
Seven sites were evaluated and demonstrated potential to treat and renovate
the small volume of wastewater treatment plant sludge generated by the Town of
Old Fort,
North
Carolina.
The sites
are located
in McDowell County,
Nort^
Carolina.
Farms
6 and 7 are
located a
considerable
distance from the Old
Ford
wastewater Treatment Facility as are Farms 1 and 2. The haul distance,
however, is of little concern in this area because suitable agricultural land
is difficult to find and the farms evaluated all demonstrated excellent
potential to treat and renovate waste. The small distance in excess of normal
haul distances is of little concern given the tremendous value of the sites to
the Old Fort Land Application Program. Each of the sites was evaluated with a
series of hand auger borings. In addition, soil core samples were collected
from each site to determine the optimum fertility levels and to make
recommendations regarding nutrient and lime requirements.
There are two purposes to the brief report which follows. The first is
to describe conditions encountered on each of the seven proposed waste sludge
receiver sites. The second is to make recommendations regarding appropriate
nutrient and supplemental lime requirements on each site. The sites evaluated
were either in row crop production or were in permanent pasture. Most sites
evaluated were in row crop production.
Topography
The topography on each of the sites was somewhat atypical of the
Mountain region of the state. In general, the slope on each of the sites was
less than 6 or 8 percent. Most sites evaluated were located on broad flat
terrace positions off major drainage ways coursing through McDowell County.

- 2 -
Small portions of the potential waste receiver sites were located along the
toe slope positions of the upland areas adjacent to these terrace oositions.
Some topography or relief is essential to provide a gradient along which
liquid and other constituents applied to any waste receiver site will move.
This becomes a critical concern when excess rainfall occurs. The rainfall
entering a site must exit so that agricultural operations can take place. The
minimal gradient encountered over most of the sites evaluated will nose some
limitations regarding the rainfall exiting the site. This will facilitate
retention of nutrients onsite where they will become more available for Dlant
growth and production. In general, the topography encountered on each site
renders each of these sites very well suited for inclusion in the Old Fort
Sludge Management Program. A more detailed description of the location and
topography on each farm follows.
Farm 1
Knupp Farm: The Knupp Farm is located on State Road 1102 south and west
of the Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Facility. The farm is located on a broad
terrace position and there is a drainage way which will require the optimum
setback for sludge application to prevent eontam!Tratiom of' -sludge contaminants
or constituents to surface water. In general, the topography on the Knupp
Farm is less than 4 percent and this is very well suited for the sludge
application system proposed. There are few esidences adjoining the site and
the setback from these residences is between 2-and 00 feet.
Farm 2
Lavender Farm: The Lavender Farm is located at the intersection of
State Road 1128 and 1129 in McDowell County.' There is a drainage way along
the southernmost border of the Lavender Farm. The sludge application must

3 -
take place more than 100 feet from this site if surface application is used
and could take place within 50 feet of the drainage way if injection is used.
In general, topography on the Lavender Farm is less than 5 percent and this is
well suited for the sludge application system proposed.
Farm 3
Kanipe Farm: The Kanipe Farm is located immediately adjacent to
Interstate Highway 40. The topography on the Kanipe Farm is very gentle. The.
southernmost border of the Kanipe Farm is the Catawba River. Application of
sludge within 100 feet of the Catawba River will not be permitted through the
Division of Environmental Management. In general, topography on the Kanipe
Farm is very well suited for the sludge application system proposed.
Farm 4
Terrell Farm: The Terrell Farm is also located immediately adjacent to
Interstate 40. The southernmost border of the Terrell Farm is also the
Catawba River. In general, topography over the site is less than 4 percent.
The presence of the Catawba River will require a setback from the river to
sludge application areas. This will reduce area available on the Terrell Farm
but should not significantly impact operation of the land application program
proposed.
Farm 5
Grenlee Farm: The Grenlee .sisters'operate a very large acreage farm
immediately off State Road 1246 east of Old Fort. The large acreage tract is
bordered on the east by the Catawba River. Topography over the Grenlee Farm
varies from very gently sloping to moderately steep. The predominant relief
over the farm, however, is less than 4 percent. Topograhy on the Grenlee Farm

- 4 -
should not adversely affect sludge application. Proximity to the Catawba
River will require the maximum buffer-t5:) -protect surface water quality.
Farm o
Gibbs Farm: The Gibbs Farm is located north of U.S. Highway 70 near the
confluence of Buck Creek and the Catawba River. In general, the topography on
the Gibbs :arm is nearly level. Maximum slope encountered over the site is
generally less than 2 percent. The Catawba River does form one border of the
site. Buffers will be required between sludge application areas and the
Catawba River to insure that surface water quality can be protected.
Farm 7
Bryan Farm: The Bryan Farm is located east of Highway 80 near the
confluence of the Catawba River and Buck Creek. Buck Creek does form the
westernmost boundary of the site. In general, topography on the Bryan Farm is
very well suited for the land application system proposed. There did not
appear to be slope in excess of 5 percent on the Bryan Farm. In general, this
topographic landscape position renders the farm very well suited as a receiver
for a portion of the sludge generated by the Town of Old Fort.
The slope or relief encountered on each of the proposed sites renders
them well suited to receive a portion of the sludge generated by the Town of
Old Fort. Each site, when combined with others proposed for this program,
will provide ample area for assimilation of the sludge volume produced by the
Town of Old Fort. Neither topography or site location should limit or
preclude use of any of.the sites as receivers for a portion of the waste
generated by the Town. There will be sites on which stringent setback
requirements will reduce the land area available for sludge application.
These sites were identified previously and the setbacks from major water

5 -
courses will be noted in the site maps which will be submitted to the Division
of Environmental Management as part of the permit application package. Prior
to application of waste residuals, these buffer areas must be clearly flagged
and the land applicator must be thoroughly aware of the site limitations
imposed by these major drainage ways. The few site and topographic
limitations noted can be addressed in design and operation of this system.
Neither should limit or preclude use of any of the proposed sites as a
receiver for waste.
Soils
The soils information necessary to develop design criteria for a land
based waste treatment system must address both agronomic and engineering
properties of the soil material encountered on each of the sites. These
properties must be evaluated on the basis of actual soil evaluations in the
field. In support of this project, hand auger borings and soil core samples
were collected from each of the proposed waste receiver sites. The hand auger
borings were used to characterize or describe a representative soil profile.
The 1-inch diameter soil core samples were used to characterize soil fertility
and, to determine supplemental nutrient and lime requirements for each site.
The auger borings were advanced at locations thought to typify each
site. Results of the hand auger borings indicate that the predominant soil
encountered in each site is a terrace soil. Each of the sites proposed
occupies a terrace position adjacent to a major drainage way. The soil
material does confirm the landscape position. The soil material extracted
with the hand auger was evaluated with increasing depth for selected
properties. 'Each of those properties are thought to be critical in design and
operation of a land based waste management system. The properties evaluated

- 6 -
include: depth, color, texture, structure, and consistence. Each of these
Properties is used to characterize or describe a representative soil profile.
Soil color is perhaps the most critical of the factors evaluated. Soil color
does relate to the potential for a seasonal 'nigh water table or soil wetness
condition. A minimum of 2 feet separation is necessary between she zone of
waste application and the water table. The presence of the gray mottles in
the soil is an excellent indicator of this soil wetness condition. The
descriptions _or the soil material encountered on each of the proposed sites
is provided as an attachment to this report. In general, the soil material
encountered on each site consists of a deep, well drained to moderately well
drained soil. The sandy topsoil horizons extend from the soil surface to a
depth of between 8 and 10 inches on each of the proposed sites. Underlying
this is typically a reddish brown sandy loam to red sandy clay loam subsoil
which extended to a depth of between 30 and 36 inches. Underlying this was a
sandy clay to sandy clay loam material which extended to a depth of over 48
inches. Light gray mottles were encountered at approximately 30 to 36 inches
on portions of the sites evaluated. It does appear that the potential water
table is located at between 36 and 48 inches and the potential water table
depth should not limit or preclude use of either of the sites evaluated as a
receiver for a portion of the waste generated by the Town of Old Fort.
The soil core sampling indicates that the soil material is moderately
high in fertility, the cation exchange capacity ranges from 6 to 8 and the
soil pH is generally depressed ranging from 5.7 to 5.9 standard pH units.
The soil material does not appear to pose significant limitations for use as a
receiver for waste. The sandy topsoil horizons will allow rapid

- 7 -
incorporation of waste.material into the soil while the heavier textured
subsoil will allow for retention of nutrients and metals. The soil fertility
levels must be adjusted prior to application of waste material. Soil pH must
be increased to between 6.2 and 6.5 standard pH units. These recommendations
will be discussed subsequently in the section on waste characterization and
recommendations. in general, the soil material encountered on each of the
sites is well suited and soil properties should not limit or preclude use of
any site as a receiver for a portion of the waste generated by the Town of Old
Fort.
Waste Characteristics and Recommendations
A sample of dry sludge from the Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Facility
was collected and analyzed. The analysis indicated that the material was non-
toxic and non -hazardous and suitable for application onto land. Further, the
analysis indicated that there a=
'levels of nutrients .)available in the
s of selectedheav
sludge and moderate level 1�`` y �
metals present. The sludge is
suitable for application onto agricultural or silvicultural land. Nutrient
content is variable. A high concentration of nitrogen was present considering
other sludge sources while only low to moderate concentrations of phosphorus
and potassium were detected.
The metal concentrations ranged from low to moderate. The potentially
toxic metals, lead and cadmium, are present only at very low concentrations.
Copper and zinc represent metals of most concern in this land treatment
program. Copper and zinc are considered to be essential micronutrients.
These metals are required by growing plants. They are present in the waste at
low concentrations to moderate concentrations and these metals will most
impact the operation of this land application program. Both copper and zinc

- 8 -
are the metals which determine the longevity of the land application system
proposed. The most limiting of the metals is copper. A site containing
approximately 50 acres and capable of assimilating 500 dry tons of sludge per
year or 10 dry to per acre per year will last for approximately 10 years as
a receiver for sludge. At this point, copper will have accumulated in the
soil to a 'level that EPA currently considers the maximum allowable cumulative
rate. In actuality, this maximum cumulative rate is for the most restrictive
of -the existing.EPA criteria and the sites evaluated fall in the mid -range of
EPA criteria. This would indicate that a minimum site life of 20 years is
allowable, but the conservatism of the design team would reduce that land area
from a 20 year site life to a 10 year site life. Following 10 years of
continuous application of sludge onto agricultural land, either copper
concentrations must be reduced or additional lands must be found. Land area
in excess of 50 acres was identified for this program and this minimum site
life is for only a site meeting those minimum criteria. Longevity of the
1 "--/ program will be determined by the total land area available in this program
not by a sin le 50
9 acre site. Soil tests results accomplished do indicate
that copper is present at only very low levels'on the sites proposed and
although copper is of concern in design, copper should be of little
consequence in the operation of this facility. In fact, the copper applied
// may significantly improve the crop production on the proposed sites..__=:.-
Waste loadings must be tailored to meet both the nutrient requirements
of the growing crop as well as the long term storage requirements of metals
and phosphorus. Crops on the sites evaluated are either row crops such as
corn and small grain or permanent pasture such as fescue. The nutrient
requirements for these various cropping systems are similar but not identical.

Operation, the system proposed should last for many years as a suitable
alternative by which the waste residuals from the Town of Old Fort can be
managed on agricultural land.
WPDl/OLDFORT/ARR;sb
that measures are taken to prevent surface runoff of waste constituents_nt:,
the adjoining surface water. Careful operation of the proposed Old Fort land
application program will insure that the sites are managed properly and =ha=
this nutrient recycling program can benefit both the *own of old Fort and =e
individuals receiving the waste residuals.
Condon
The sites evaluated as potential sites for sludge from the Town of
Fort do appear to be well suited for this purpose. Sites are located ad'.ace:=
to major drainage ways coursing through McDowell County. The operator must
assure that all measures are taken to insure that the operation of this _and
application program will not impact surface water quality in the McDowell
County area. Sludge sampling is an essential component of 'the operation :) 1
this facility and monthly sludge samples should be collected and analyzed
optimize the land application of this material and to provide a useable scurce t
of nutrients to selected landowners in McDowell County. With careful - -

1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grants Funds
(municipals only)? No

3. Additional effluent limits requests:
4. Other.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Site 4 - An issue for consideration is Site 4's position in
the critical area of a water shed currently classified as WS-III Tr.
Conversation with Steve Zoufaly revealed that the final water shed
protection regs will likely be somewhat more liberal concerning sludge
application than the draft regs. The site will thus likely be
acceptable as a land application site. Additionally the WS-III Tr
classification exists due to to the presence of an unused water intake
at the abandoned Old Fort Finishing plant located approximately 1 mile
downstream of Site 4. The WS classification will likely be dropped
during the water shed evaluations to be undertaken in conjunction with
implementation of the draft regs. Most of site 4 would therefore be
suitable even with the current WS-III Tr classification.
The suitable portion of Site 4 is the area lying outside the
Northeast corner of the field. The unsuitable corner can described an
isosceles triangle the right angle of which is located at the NE
corner of the field and is constructed of segments each of which is
275 feet in length; the hypotenuse would of course connect the
terminuses of the 275 feet segments and bound the unsuitable section
of the field. The described triangular portion of the field should
not be used due to the a seasonal high ground water elevation.
Mottled soil was detected within 1 inch of the surface and the soil
was extremely moist at the time of observation. Other areas of the
field would be suitable for land application of sludge. Allow
application of sludge on site 4, but exclude the Northeast corner as
described.
Sites 6A & 6B - (These sites are incorrectly identified on
"Figure 1, Sludge Application Sites" in the Town's application package
as Site 7.) Sites are excellent and all buffer requirements can be
met.
Sites 8A, 8B, 8C - All fields are excellent and buffer
requirements can be met.
Site 9 - Excellent site adjacent to Sites 8B & 8C, all buffer
requirements can be met.
Portions of each field are within the 100 year flood plain, but
application rates will be at agronomic levels. The fields are all

currently in use as pasture land or corn fields and are being spread
with fertilizers and crop conditioners. Allowing land application of
sludge at agronomic levels will therefore, even with proximity to
flood plains, not pose any known additional threat to ground or
surface waters. The regional recommendation is that the Town of Old
Fort's land application permit be issued with the Northeast corner of
site 4 excluded as described above.
