Overview of Manufacturing Process

Overview of Manufacturing Process
Pilgrim's Pride Corporations operates a Hatchery and Feed Mill at it's location in Staley, NC. This facility
is located at address 2607 Old Highway 421, south of the intersection of US-421 and Old Highway 421
(exit 180). Combined, the mill and hatchery employ 33 employees for first shift. Both facilities average
approximately 5,000 gallons daily discharge to the treatment lagoon. Based on this rate, it is estimated
that amount of industrial contribution is 84% and the domestic (based on the number of employees at 25
gallons per day) is 16%. Other records indicate that the percentage is likely to be 95% industrial and 5%
domestic, so the numbers provided are a worse -case calculation.
The hatchery is tasked with hatching and providing baby chicks to Pilgrim's growers in the area. Eggs
are incubated until hatched and delivered to farms on a weekly basis. Regular housekeeping through
washdown events generate wastewater. The majority of the water sent for treatment is generated in this
way. Broken or unhatched eggs are placed in a roll -off box or truck and allowed to drain. The drained
albumin is sent to the package plant for processing. Shells are sent to the landfill via a rolloff box or
truck.
The feed mill is tasked with producing feed and delivering it to Pilgrim's growers in the area. Grain is
milled and blended and delivered to growers on an as needed basis with trucks delivering daily. Regular
housekeeping through washdown events and boiler blow -down generate wastewater. Wastewater for this
is limited and occurs at the end of shift to allow drying. The majority of the feed mill water sent for
treatment is generated in this way.

Effluent Process Narrative

Process Narrative
Wastewater is treated through a precast concrete package plant. The wastewater generated collects
in one of two concrete tank groups. Each of these groups has a total water holding volume of between
1,000 gallons and 2,000 gallons. Effluent enters each group via gravity. Effluent is pumps with a
grinder pump from the two tanks to an equalization tank because flow is not consistent. From the
equalization tank, effluent is sent to a Pollution Control Model SS-20-SP 10,000 gallon per day
package plant. From the package plant effluent enters the aerobic treatment lagoon. This is a lagoon
with roughly 200,00 gallons of storage. Effluent entering the lagoon will have large solid particles
retained in the collection tank or package plant prior to entering the treatment lagoon. Effluent is then
transferred via a flashboard riser pipe to the storage lagoon. This lagoon has roughly 400,000 gallons
of storage. Treated effluent from the storage lagoon is pumped to the spray field when conditions are
acceptable to spray. The spray field is composed on 5 lines with 11 heads on each line. The total
spray field is 6.27 acres. Irrigation is limited to an hourly rate of 0.3 inches per hour and a maximum
yearly application rate of 35.88 acre inches per year. Annual irrigation amounts average 14 acre
inches for this facility.
