'It -is my assumption that the application (WQ0009305) received by the Fayetteville
Regional Office in April pertains to the pathogen reduction for Valley Proteins' sludge
permit (WQ0007504). The -description provided by ' Reid Engineering references an
NPDES permit.- Valley Proteins does not have an NPDES permit.
The heat treatment process appears to be an acceptable, alternative to meet. the
40 CFR Pathogen Reduction Criteria (PSRP),..and these new units should be included in
the existing spray irrigation permit (WQ0000957).
The report also states that once the sludge is processed or, meets the PSRP
criteria, it will be pumped, from the tanks to the sludge sites. The existing sludge
permit (WQ0007504) has no .- provisions for spray irrigating the sludge: All the sludge
sites are on Valley Proteins' property, but a pipe system does not exist -to spray, irrigate
the sludge. A piping network .for this type of application would be complicated. The
existing sludge permit was issued based on sludge application from a tank pumper truck.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM BIOLOGICAL SLUDGE DISPOSAL
PLAN
Dear Mr. Seymour:
The attached Drawings, Design Summary Engineering Report and NPDES permit
modification application -prepared by Reid Engineering Company are submitted on behalf
of Valley Proteins, Inc., to the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources for review.
and approval to obtain a permit to' construct a proposed new biological sludge heat
treatment system to comply with pathogen reduction requirements of the DNR and US
:_
EPA sludge disposal regulations.
This existing wastewater treatment facility presently generates an average of �J
approximately 6,000 gpd of waste activated sludge which has been disposed by land
application on the approved spray irrigation wastewater disposal site.
Valley Proteins proposes to install and operate a new heat treatment process for
pathogen reduction in the waste activated sludge prior to ultimate disposal by spray
irrigation. The proposed sludge heat treatment system will use a batch heating process
with waste heat supplied from the rendering plant into two 7,000 gallon sludge storage -
heat treatment tanks. Sludge will be pumped into either of the 7,000 gallon sludge
storage tanks until the tanks are approximately full containing a volume between 5,500
to 7,000 gallons after which the sludge contained in the tank will be heated to over 1800 F
and retained for a minimum detention time of 30 minutes prior to ultimate disposal by
spray irrigation.

At the present waste activated sludge production rate, it is estimated that between
one sludge batch per day ranging from 6,000 to 7,500 gallons must be heat treated. prior
to ultimate disposal by land application. In the future, if the daily,waste activated sludge
production volume increases to '10,50.0 gallons/day as estimated Yon- page 17 of the
original design summary report attached - (see Appendix #1) approved by the North
Carolina Department. -.of Natural Resources for this facility, then the number of sludge
batches will be increased to accommodate the .additional ,sludge volume. If required in
the future, additional sludge batch heating .tanks can be installed.
A process flow schematic and details of the proposed new sludge heat treatment
_system_ are attached for .review and'. approval by. -the DNR. If additional submittal
information is required by the DNR please advise. Since Valley Proteins desires to place
this sludge heat treatment system in operation as soon, as possible, expedited approval
of this design submittal by the DNR would be appreciated.

I
WASTEWATER- PRETREATMENT - Three basic types of - -wastewater
will be discharged -by -the rendering plant.
1. Wastewater generated by truck -washing and ,plant
drainage and washdown will contain high -concentrations'
of oil -and grease, - susp'ended- solids, TKN and BOD. This
washdown and drainage wastewater- must be pretreated by
a fat -flotation unit and a dissolved air 'flotation cell
to redu.c.e these high concentrations of suspended,
pollutants before flowing into the downstream
biological treatment process.
I
2.: Cooker condensate wastewater generated -by the rendering.
operation Will contain high concentrations of ammonia and 'other dissolved or soluble pollutants compared to
washdown and drainage wastewater: This wastewater can..
be pretreated along with drainage wastewater by
dissolved -air flotation' or can be pumped directly to
the downstream -biological treatment process..'
3. Sani.tary was tewater.g.enerated from the bathroom
facilities at the rendering plant will flow directly to'
the biological treatment plant -since -solids in this -
type of .wastewater should not be removed by screening
and flotation and then rendered.

Response to DEM Comments
Dear Mr. Reid:
Attached are responses to specific comments by Jack Floyd of the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management regarding
the wastewater treatment system at the facility referenced
above. We have addressed comments 6, 7, 8 and 9 which relate to
the irrigation system. Calculations that have been requested by
Mr: Floyd are also attached.
Please let us know if any additional response is required.
Sincerely,

RESPONSE TO DEM REVIEW COMMENTS
Comment No. 6 Explain discrepancy in irrigation pump capacity
requirements.
Response: The irri ation pump is required to pump 900 GPM
in order to apply wastewater within the limits
of the soils at the site. The figure of
100-300 GPM was a preliminary estimate that was
made before the soils investigation was
completed.
Comment No. 7 Provide head calculations for each zone in the
spray field.
Response: See attached calculations Table 1-4.
Comment No. 8 Show where the irrigation pump force main ties
into the -force main given on Page M9 of the
plans.
Response: The irrigation plan has been revised to include;
the storage lagoons and pump station which wills
be located east of the wastewater treatment
system. !

RESPONSE TO DEM-REVIEW COMMENTS.
Comment No. 9 Estimate downslope drainage -volume .from spray !-
irrigation system after pumps are.shut off.
Response: The system is designed with automatic zone.
control valves that willclose when the
irrigation pump is shut off. Therefore, the I
volume of wastewater that will drairi'from the {
system will'be limited to the volume contained
within.the pipes in each -zone. Calculations j
"are provided for the worst case which is Zone 8 !
in which there is the greatest elevation.
difference between the upper and lower lateral.
The total volume of effluent in the piping in }
Zone 8 at shut -down is about 2100 gallons. One i
third of this volume is estimated to drain from "
the lowest later."al and the balance -will drain
from the other laterals.(excluding the highest
lateral). At an average pressure: of 4 psi the
seven sprinklers on the lowest lateral will
each deliver 100 gallons` -at about 4 gpm over a
radius of about-20 feet. This volume `
represents about 0'.13 inch -of application over �.
approximately 1250 ft2 during a 25, minute
period.
