To whom it may concern:
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (MCB CAMLEJ) forwards a
completed application package for the renewal of the
Distribution of Class "A" Wastewater Residuals permit, permit
number WQ0012346. Permit WQ0012346 was issued to MCB CAMLEJ on
November 1, 2015 and expires on October 31, 2020.
Enclosure (1) contains the Distribution of Class "A"
Wastewater Residuals permit application package. Enclosure (2)
contains MCB CAMLEJ's Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manual for
the Residuals Application Program. Appendices B - G of the O&M
Manual can be provided upon request.
The following explanation is provided per instruction in the
Class "A" Annual Distribution and Marketing/Surface Disposal
Certification and Summary Form (DMSDF) and the Annual Pathogen
and Vector Attraction Reduction Form (PVRF 503 Rules).
For your awareness, our CROM tank was out of service for the
majority of the 2019 calendar year. Bench scale samples were
not collected during the first three quarters of 2019 while it
was out of service. Operators have since been instructed that
bench scale samples must be collected even when the CROM tank
out of service. ATAD Sludge Solids Analyses, which also
estimate percent solids removal, were however performed during
this time. Treated solids were stored on -site to the maximum
extent possible. Due to limited storage capacity, some solids
were land applied, and some were belt -pressed and used as soil
conditioner for daily cover at the Base landfill. Fecal
analyses and time and temperature requirements were met prior
this land application. NCDEQ was notified of the CROM tank
maintenance and use of residuals at the Base landfill
accordingly.

D. Program Information
Ia. Residuals Program Overview
MCB CAMLEJ owns and operates a 15 million gallon per day (MGD) Advanced Wastewater Treatment
Plant (AWWTP) which employs both biological nutrient removal (BNR) and Class A, high -temperature
sludge treatment processes. Wastewater treatment processes at the plant include screening and grit
removal, primary and secondary clarification, an AZO BNR process, filtration, post -aeration, flow
measurement, disinfection, and surface discharge to the New River through an outfall diffuser.
The primary and secondary thickened residuals generated by the WWTP will be combined and stabilized
in an Autothermal Thermophillic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) process prior to onsite storage in a 2.265
MG covered, concrete tank at the WWTP. To achieve the vector attraction reduction requirements of 40
CFR Part 503, the volatile solids (VS) content of the thickened residuals must be reduced by a minimum
of 38-percent. Consequently, the destruction of VS in the digestion process results in a reduction in the
overall dry weight of residuals to be land applied.
Land application of treated residuals to forestland and other vegetated areas aboard the installation
provides for the beneficial reuse of residuals generated at MCB CAMLEJ's Advanced Wastewater
Treatment Plant (AWWTP). Land application enables the plant and soil system to beneficially use the
nutrients and other constituents present in the residuals.
MCB CAMLEJ is currently permitted under Distribution of Class A Wastewater Residuals, permit
number WQ0012346. This permit allows for the distribution of 1,649 dry tons of Class A wastewater
residuals annually. Land application of residuals is limited to the inside of the installation's boundaries
and is used for the purpose of soil erosion control in training areas (such as tactical landing
Appendix (A) - 1
zones, gun positions, and firing ranges), natural vegetation establishment (forested areas and wildlife food
plots), and as a soil conditioner in undeveloped areas.
As a contingency, in the event that Class B residuals are produced at the facility, MCB CAMLEJ was
added to Lewis Farms and Liquid Waste, Inc.'s Land Application of Class B Residuals permit number
WQ0000455.
Figure 1 is a residuals process flow diagram showing how residuals are processed/treated at MCB
CAMLEJ.
ATAD Sludge Treatment System Description
MCB CAMLEJ utilizes an ATAD sludge treatment process to ensure that the thickened sludge is
conditioned to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Class A requirement. The ATAD
process receives thickened sludge from the Sludge Influent Holding Tank.
Time, Temperature, Function, and Pathogen Testing
Municipal wastewater generally contains four major types of human pathogenic organisms: bacteria,
viruses, protozoa, and helminthes (parasitic worms). The actual species and density contained in the raw
wastewater will depend on the particular community and on the contribution of runoff from animal
sources (e.g., livestock operations). The level of pathogens contained in the untreated sludge will depend
on the flow scheme and the liquid treatment processes. For example, since pathogens are primarily
associated with insoluble solids, untreated primary sludge has a higher density of pathogens than the
incoming wastewater. The biological stabilization of sewage sludge is based on the reduction of the
organic substances (typically volatile solids) contained in sewage sludge. Although there are different
approaches to controlling pathogens in the sewage sludge, each process relies on altering the sludge
environment so that it becomes a less effective medium for microbial growth. The ATAD process relies
on aerobic microorganisms to carry out the required degradation. The aerobic degradation is an
exothermic, or energy releasing, process. While some of the energy is stored intracellularly to form new
cells, a larger fraction is released to the environment in the form of heat. The released heat is the major
heat source used to maintain the desired operating temperature. In the ATAD process, sludge is
maintained at temperatures ranging from 580 C to 620 C. For obtaining a Class A sludge, as defined in
Section 503.32 of 40 CFR (EPA Regulations), sludge has to be kept at a temperature of 500 C or greater
for 30 minutes or longer. The minimum retention time in the reactors is calculated using the following
equation:
D = 50,070,000 / 10014t where D = time in days and T = temperature
The ATAD sludge treatment system at MCB CAMLEJ's WWTP consists of four trains. Each train
consists of two reactors, reactor A and reactor B. Each reactor, having a volume of 78,254 gallons, is
provided with four spiral aerators (for purposes of mixing and supplying air), ten foam controllers (for
breaking foam formed during sludge digestion), two temperature controllers, and two level controllers.
Two pipes, each containing a motorized eccentric plug valve, connect reactors A and B of each train. The
operation of each train can be broken down into two steps, namely, the discharge cycle and the fill cycle.
During the discharge cycle, the spiral aerators are turned off, and the plug valve in the bottom line opens
and sludge is discharged from reactor B to the effluent sludge holding tank until the levels in both the
reactors are the same. This stage is called equalization (levels in reactors A and B are made equal),
Appendix (A) - 2
hence, the bottom line is also known as the equalization line. During the fill cycle, once the levels in
reactors A and B are equal, the bottom valve is closed, and the valve in the top line is opened. Sludge
from the sludge influent holding tank is then pumped to reactor A. The raw sludge, being heavier and
colder, settles to the bottom. The influent sludge is pumped until both reactors are filled to the top line.
As the top line is used for filling the reactors, it is called the fill line.
The support equipment for the ATAD process can be classified into three major systems:
I — Level Control System: The ATAD reactors at MCB CAMLEJ's WWTP are equipped with
barometric cells, which transmit the sludge levels to the control panel. This is needed because a
visual check of the sludge level (in the reactors) is not possible due to the foam development
during operation. The barometric cell is separated from the sludge by water, which is filled in
the pipe, and thus, is not subject to fouling by solids in the sludge.
2 — Odor Control System: An Odor Control System has been provided to treat the off gas from
the ATAD process and the digested sludge holding tank. This system consists of a chemical
scrubber for the removal of volatized ammonia.
3 — Temperature Control System: The ATAD process is generally operated at a maximum
temperature of about 620 C. Above this temperature, volatized ammonia may increase
dramatically, resulting in offensive odors that are difficult to control effectively. Additionally,
volatile solids destruction can be inhibited at excessively high temperatures. A cooling system
has been provided for the ATAD reactors to maintain the temperature in the range of 580 C to 620
C, so as to prevent the volatilization of excess ammonia. If the temperature in a reactor exceeds
the temperature set point, the cooling system (or the temperature control system) for the reactor
will be activated. The cooling system consists of a reservoir (with hot and cold water wells), a
cooling (heat exchange) tower with fan, cooling water pump, piping, and control valves. Within
each reactor, there is a concentric reservoir (adjacent to the reactor wall) into which cooled water
is applied to remove heat from the sludge being treated, which contacts the inner reservoir via the
interior walls of the reactor.
The ATAD process can be operated in either manual or automatic mode. In manual mode, the operator
initiates the discharge cycle and is present until the fill cycle has been completed (this process usually
takes one hour), and the isolation or reaction period begins (this lasts about 23 hours). In automatic
mode, the operators presence is not necessary as the cycles are undertaken based on preset times.
Liquid residuals are transferred from the above ground storage tank to a stand-alone hauling trailer via a
loading station. Dual non -clog, horizontal centrifugal pumps transfer the residuals into the tanker through
a riser and loading hose. Each pump delivers 300 gpm at 43 feet of total dynamic head. There are three
hauling tankers, each pulled by a standard highway semi -tractor, to haul liquid residuals to application
sites scattered across the installation. Each trailer consists of a stainless steel, single compartment tank
with a capacity of 8,000 gallons. Weight limits for roads along the transportation route limit the
maximum volume of residuals hauled in each tanker to approximately 6,600 gallons. The 6,600 gallons
load is also equivalent to three application loads. There are three sludge application vehicles used to
apply the liquid residuals. Each vehicle is equipped with a vacuum pump and other components to load
and spread residuals from the tanker trailers. A chopper pump located in the bottom of the tank provides
Appendix (A) - 3
an added pressure boost to operate a spray nozzle located at the top rear of the vehicle. The spray nozzle
can be operated remotely by using the controls located in the vehicle cab. Residuals can be surfaced
spread directly behind the vehicle by using the rear splash plate, or by using the spray nozzle up to 130
feet away from the vehicle.

1. Vicinity Map
A vicinity map showing the location of MCB CAMLEJ's Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant is
shown in Figure 1.
2a. Camp Lejeune's Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant Overview
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (MCB CAMLEJ) owns and operates a 15 million gallons per day
Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (AWWTP). Influent to the plant is primarily domestic in nature
with small flow contributions from industrial activities located throughout the installation.
The AWWTP is an advanced biological process that consists of three different microbial environments.
The combined environments are called the AZO process for Anaerobic, Anoxic, and Oxic. These three
zones cultivate a special mix of beneficial microorganisms that absorb phosphorus and convert
chemically bound nitrogen to harmless and inert nitrogen gas. Residual phosphorus not absorbed by the
microorganisms is removed by chemicals added by the AWWTP's operations staff. Other
microorganisms (primarily in the oxic zone) biologically degrade wastewater pollutants by using organic
material as food and converting it to new microbes, carbon dioxide and water.
All of the three A20 zones consist of mixed slurries of wastewater and microorganisms. After treatment,
the water and microbes are separated by gravity settling in large tanks. The clean water is skimmed from
the surface, filtered, disinfected with ultra -violet light and returned to the New River. The microbes are
continuously collected from the bottom of the tanks and returned to the three A20 zones using recycle
pumping systems. This recycling provides a continuous source of microbes to degrade incoming
pollutants.
As pollutants are removed, the microorganisms grow and multiply. This growth results in the production
of excess microorganisms. These excess microbes are continuously removed (a process called wasting)
Appendix (B) - 1
to maintain a consistent and optimal balance between available microbes and the amount of food
(pollutants entering the AWWTP. The excess microorganisms (called residuals or biosolids) are treated
at an elevated temperature (± 150°F) to kill disease causing organisms, to reduce odors and for further
treatment of biodegradable pollutants. The treated residuals are applied to agriculture and forest areas for
their beneficial nutrients and soil conditioning characteristics.
The flow of water into and out of the AWWTP is a continuous operation — the AWWTP operates 24
hours per day and 365 days per year. A treatment plant diagram is shown in Figure 2. Descriptions of
the various AWWTP components are provided below.
I. Preliminary Treatment is merely a screening process that removes large debris such as
sticks, rags, grit and sand. The removal of these constituents protects downstream equipment.
2. Primary clarification consists of large tanks where suspended solids settle to the bottom. The
settled solids are transferred to the solids treatment process. In general this process removes
about 50% of the TSS entering the AWWTP influent. The remaining fraction is either
degraded (solubilized) in the biological processes or removed in the AWWTP's secondary
clarifier.
3. The Anaerobic Zone is a mixed tank void of dissolved oxygen. The absence of all oxygen is
conducive to the growth of special bacteria (Acinetobacter) that consume organic acids and
release stored phosphorus in the anaerobic tank. However, these same organisms uptake high
levels of phosphorus when they enter the aerobic (oxic) zone of the AWWTP. Thus, the
cycling of the microbes between the anaerobic and oxic environments is the mechanism
responsible for enhanced phosphorus uptake. This cycling is accomplished by the normal
flow of water and the recycle system that returns the microbes to the anaerobic zone after they
have been oxygenated in the oxic zone of the AWWTP. Phosphorus (an algae causing
nutrient) is ultimately removed from the AWWTP by wasting excess microbes after the
oxygenated cycle and when stored phosphorus levels are greatest.
4. The Anoxic Zone consists of mixed tanks that have essentially no dissolved oxygen.
However, these tanks do contain oxygen that is chemically bound to nitrogen in a molecule
called nitrate (NO3-N). This nitrate nitrogen is a byproduct form the biological treatment of
ammonia and is introduced to the anoxic zone through the recycle from the outlet of the
aeration tank. In the absence of dissolved oxygen, bacteria in the anoxic zone break the
chemical bond between the oxygen and nitrogen. The oxygen is used by the microbes to
produce new bacteria, water and carbon dioxide. More importantly, the nitrogen (a nutrient
responsible for the growth of excess algae) is removed from the water and released to the
atmosphere as a harmless and inert gas.
5. The Oxic (Aerobic Zone) consists of mixed and oxygenated tanks. Oxygen is supplied from
the atmosphere using mechanical agitators located on the surface of the tanks. In this process,
aerobic (oxygen using) and other microorganisms perform the following:
➢ Reduce Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD): This is the biological degradation of
wastewater pollutants. Simply stated, microorganisms consume organic material for
food and convert it to new microbes, carbon dioxide and water.
➢ Nitrify Ammonia: This is the biochemical oxidation of ammonia nitrogen to the much
more stable and benign form called nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N). The benign NO3-
Appendix (B) - 2
N can be biologically degraded to nitrogen gas when recycled to the anoxic zone
of the AWWTP.
➢ Uptake of Phosphorus: The special bacteria (Acinetobacter) cultivated in the
anaerobic zone absorb a significant amount of phosphorus in the aerobic tank. This
absorbed phosphorus is ultimately removed from the water when excess
microorganisms are wasted from the AWWTP.
6. The Post Aerobic Anoxic Zone uses the same mechanisms as previously described to
convert nitrate to nitrogen gas. This particular zone is simply another location to cultivate
special microbes and provide an additional opportunity for these organisms to convert nitrate
to inert nitrogen gas.
7. The Second Stage Aeration Zone consists of small aerated tanks. This particular zone is
simply used to return dissolved oxygen to the water following the anoxic (oxygen free)
process.
8. Secondary Clarification consists of large tanks where the suspended biosolids
(microorganisms) are separated from the water; the biosolids simply settle to the bottom of
the tank. As a general rule of thumb, approximately 97 to 98% of the biosolids entering the
secondary clarifier are recycled back to the anaerobic zone so they can treat incoming waste
products. About 2 to 3% of these "phosphorus enriched biosolids" are due to the growth of
excess microbes and are wasted to the solids treatment process.
9. Filtration is a polishing process that removes the trace levels of suspended solids that do not
settle in the secondary clarifier. This process employs a layer of sand that removes the solids
by straining and adsorbing suspended material.
10. The Reaeration Process is a small aerated tank used to increase the level of dissolved
oxygen in the treated water just before it is discharged. This helps maintain higher oxygen
content in the New River in the vicinity of the AWWTP's discharge line.
11. Disinfection is the final process in the AWWTP. It is used to kill disease causing
microorganisms. It is important to note that no chemicals are used in the disinfection process
at this AWWTP — biological kills are accomplished using environmentally benign ultraviolet
(UV) light.
12. Solids Thickening is used to remove some of the water from the slurry of waste biosolids.
Thickening is used to reduce the volume of waste solids and increase the capacity of the
AWWTP's residuals processing tanks. As a general rule, thickening reduces the volume by
about 65 to 75%.
13. Solids Treatment is used to kill disease causing organisms, reduce odors and for further
treatment of the biodegradable pollutants in the biosolids. The process consists of mixed and
aerated tanks operated at approximately 150°F. The heat is generated internally from the
biological decomposition of the biosolids by special bacteria that flourish in this type of
environment. This process is similar to composting.

3. Residuals Production Rate Justification
In accordance with permit WQ0012346, MCB CAMLEJ is permitted to distribute 1,649 dry tons of
residuals on an annual basis. Currently, the base receives and processes approximately 1,200 dry
tons of wastewater residuals per year. The average amount of processed residuals that are
distributed varies from year to year, but can reach approximately 700 dry tons per year.
Appendix (B) - 6
MCB CAMLEJ requests the permitted amount of residuals to be distributed annually to remain the
same as current permit allowances (1,649 dry tons/year).
4. Sampling Plan
A copy of MCB CAMLEJ's sampling plan for residuals can be located in Section 5, Monitoring and
Recordkeeping, of the Operations and Maintenance Manual for the Residuals Application Program

C. Residuals Quality Information
1. Laboratory Analytical Reports
The following laboratory analytical reports have been used to complete this certification and are
included, with supporting documentation, on pages 8-19 of this appendix.
➢ Quarterly Residuals Analysis — Report Date: 10 February 2020
➢ Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) — Revised Report Date: 10 February

➢ Camp Lejeune Bench Scale ATAD Volatile Solids Reduction Analysis
2. Pathogen Reduction and Vector Attraction Reduction
MCB CAMLEJ did not meet all of the Class A pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction
requirements as shown in 40 CFR 503.32-33 and 15A NCAC 02T .1106-.1107 for the 2019
calendar year. Annual Pathogen and Vector Attraction Reduction Forms are located on pages
20-23 of this appendix.
For your awareness, our Crom tank was out of service for the majority of the 2019 calendar year.
Bench Scale samples were not collected during the first three quarters of 2019 while it was out of
service. Operators have since been instructed that Bench Scale samples must be collected even
when the Crom tank is out of service. ATAD solid sludge analyses, which also estimate the
percent solids removal, were however performed during this time. Treated solids were stored on -
site to the maximum extent possible. Due to limited storage capacity, some solids were land
applied and some were belt pressed and used as soil conditioner for daily cover at the Base
landfill. Fecal analyses and time and temperature requirements were met prior to this land
application. NCDEQ was notified of the Crom tank maintenance and use of the residuals at the
Base landfill accordingly.

(CAMLEJ) Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (AWWTP) staff perform their jobs safely and
effectively while properly maintaining and operating the residuals land application system. This
O&M Plan is a requirement of CAMLETs permit for it Residuals Distribution Program of Class A
Residuals (WQ0012346, Section 111.2) (Appendix A). This section discusses the purpose of this
manual and provides an overview of its contents.
1.1 Background and Purpose
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (MCB CAMLEJ) owns and operates a 15 million gallon per
day (mgd) advanced wastewater treatment plant (AWWTP) located in the French Creek area.
The AWWTP contains screening and grit removal, primary and secondary clarification, biological
nutrient removal, filtration, post aeration, flow measurement, disinfection and a discharge outfall
with diffuser. Auto thermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) is used to produce wastewater
residuals that are of exceptional quality (i.e., Class A). The Class A residuals meet federal and
state standards which require more stringent metal limits, lower pathogen concentrations, as well
as vector attraction reduction requirements. Exhibit 1-1 is an aerial photograph and site plan for
the facility. A general process flow diagram for the AWWTP is presented in Exhibit 1-2.
Since 1999, MCB CAMLEJ's Residual Application Program (RAP) staff, located at the French
Creek AWWTP, have operated and maintained the ATAD system and land applied wastewater
residuals on MCB CAMLEJ. As of September 2017, the RAP staff land applied the wastewater
residuals on 188 sites totaling approximately 1,361 acres. This acreage was developed based
on the `in -use" spray area listed in the GIS data, the 2015 IRAMS maps, and information provided
by the RAP Manager. Using tanker trucks and spray trucks, the RAP staff transport and spray
wastewater residuals on tactical landing zones (TLZs), gun positions (GPs), ranges, tank trails
(TTRs) and forest trails (FTRs). This does not include the following:
• Wildlife food plots which require smaller equipment to effectively spray the residuals
• Ammunition Supply Point (ASP) which, although approved for application, does not have
current Command permission to spray
• Closed Landfill Areas (Note: the NC Department of Environmental Quality [NCDEQ] has
previously not allowed residuals to be applied at the landfill; however, the use of closed
landfill areas for this use may be further pursued by MCB CAMLEJ)
• West side of CAMLEJ (i.e., west of New River) of CAMLEJ (a possible future expansion
of the RAP).
The initial Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual for the Residuals Application Program
was prepared in December 1998 to advise and instruct AWWTP/RAP staff on the O&M
procedures for the residuals land application program. This 2017 document is the second revision
of the O&M Manual. This introduction provides a section -by -section overview of the manual to
help RAP staff locate specific areas of interest and need.
1.2 Overview of Manual
This manual applies only to the operation of the residuals management program, including
residuals monitoring and recordkeeping requirements. The manual covers operations up to, and

including, the loading of transport trailers at the loading station. The following information can be
found in this manual:
• Descriptions of facilities and equipment
• General maintenance practices
• Suggested operating procedures
• General safety and emergency procedures
• Suggestions for monitoring and recordkeeping
Specific information about routine lubrication and maintenance tasks and operation of the
Integrated Residuals Application Management System (IRAMS) operations computer program
may be more readily obtained from the O&M manuals supplied by equipment manufacturers and
the help manual included with the IRAMS program.
The manufacturer O&M manuals are kept in the Residual Maintenance Manager's office for quick
reference. Strict adherence to maintenance requirements is necessary to keep equipment
functioning properly.
This manual includes material from various sources and should be used as a reference. AWWTP
staff should be familiar with the contents of each chapter so that essential information can be
found quickly. The table of contents and list of exhibits and appendixes can be used to locate
specific information. The reader may also refer to Section 2 for required permits and standards.
This manual should be updated if there are changes to the residual applications program is
implemented, if new facilities are added, or additional information is needed.

3.0 FACILITIES DESCRIPTIONS
Residuals application to forestland and other vegetated areas of MCB CAMLEJ provides for the
beneficial reuse of AWWTP-generated residuals. Land application enables the plant and soil
system to beneficially use the nutrients and other constituents present in the residuals. This
section presents general descriptions of land application sites and all facilities and equipment
associated with the RAP. RAP staff, located at the AWWTP, are responsible for applying digested
Class A wastewater residuals to land application sites and for operating and monitoring the
residuals treatment process.
3.1 Equipment
Major equipment associated with the RAP includes the loading station, highway tractors and
hauling trailers, and land application vehicles. Manufacturer manuals providing descriptions of the
ATAD sludge treatment system and storage system are in the RPM's office at the AWWTP.
3.1.1 Loading Station
Liquid residuals are transferred from the aboveground storage tank (i.e., the CROM tank) to a
hauling trailer via a loading station located beside the CROM tank. The location of the loading
station is shown on the general site plan (Exhibit 1-1). Dual non -clog, horizontal centrifugal pumps
transfer the residuals into the tanker through a riser and loading hose. Each pump delivers
approximately 300 gallons of residuals per minute (gpm). New pumps were installed in March
2017 (See Exhibit 3-2). Refer to the manufacturer's O&M manual and AWWTP record drawings
located in the RPM's office for a more detailed layout and description of the loading station
facilities and operating equipment.
3.1.2 Highway Tractors and Tanker Trailers
The RAP staff utilize three hauling tankers, each pulled by a standard highway semi -tractor, to
transport liquid residuals to application sites across the eastern half of the Base (See Exhibit 3-
3). Each trailer consists of an aluminum, single -compartment tank with a capacity of 8,400
gallons. The non -pressurized, vented tanks are cylindrical and pitched to the center to facilitate
complete sludge removal. Each trailer has rear tandem axles and a fifth wheel hitch at the front
with a crank -operated landing gear. This setup allows trailer disconnection from the highway
tractor so that the trailer can stand alone.
Weight limits for roads along the transportation route limits the maximum volume of residuals
hauled in each tanker to approximately 6,000 gallons which is equivalent to three application
vehicle loads (see description of application vehicle below). The trailer tank is loaded through a
4-inch bottom -loading port located in the center of the trailer.
The diesel -powered, tandem -axle semi -tractors each have a stationary, mounted fifth wheel
compatible with the trailers. Consult the owner's manual provided with the trucks and trailers for
detailed equipment descriptions and operating instructions.

3.1.3 Land Application Vehicles
Two liquid sludge application vehicles (high -flotation, 2,000-gallon capacity) are used to apply the
liquid residuals (see Exhibit 3-4). Each vehicle is equipped with a vacuum/pressure pump and
other components to load and spread residuals from the tanker trailers. A chopper pump located
in the bottom of the tank provides an added pressure boost to operate a spray nozzle located at
the top rear of the vehicle. The spray nozzle can be operated remotely by using controls located
in the vehicle cab. Residuals can be surface -spread directly behind the vehicle by using a rear
splash plate, or by using the spray nozzle up to 100 feet away from the vehicle. A climate -
controlled cab protects the operator from inclement weather for year-round operation. The
vehicles are also equipped with high -flotation tires to allow year-round site access and to minimize
soil compaction.

Consult the manufacturer's manual (Terragator Equipment Binder) located in the RPM's office at
the AWWTP for the following detailed information:
• Parts summary for all major vehicle systems (chassis, wheels, drive axle, brakes, engine,
transmission, drive shaft, cooling system, power steering, electrical system, air cleaner,
exhaust system, cab assembly, hood and grill, fuel tank, accelerator, heater/defroster, seat
assembly, warranties, and accessories)
RAP staff should become thoroughly familiar with the manufacturer's O&M manual and should
consult it for drawings and parts lists for all vehicle systems.
3.2 Land Application Sites
Competing land use objectives at CAMLEJ are a significant challenge when identifying suitable
areas for residuals application. Most of the Base's undeveloped areas are used for military
training. In addition, the Base is home to several threatened & endangered animal and plant
species, most notably the red -cockaded woodpecker (RCW). Also, large areas of the Base are
unusable because they are part of firing ranges or impact areas.

Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
The area available for residuals application excluded areas with unsuitable soil or areas set aside
for buffer zones or miscellaneous structures. Buffer zones around the currently identified land
application sites, as well as the site reviews and soils information presented earlier in this section,
were used to develop detailed maps showing suitable application area locations throughout the
eastern half of CAMLEJ. These buffer zones should be used to establish future buffer zones
around any sites that may be included in the RAP.
3.2.1 Land Application Sites (up to 2016)
As of 2016, the RAP staff applied wastewater residuals on 188 sites totaling approximately 1,361
acres on MCB CAMLEJ. The application areas avoided staging and mess areas, places of public
assembly, and allowed for buffers from potable wells, surface waters, and natural drain ways and
endangered animal and plant species. Exhibit 3-7 provides a breakdown of the total residual
application areas at CAMLEJ.
The existing residual application areas does not include the following
• Wildlife food plots which require smaller equipment to effectively spray the residuals.
• Ammunition Supply Point (ASP) which, although approved for application, does not have
current Command permission to spray.
• Closed Landfill Areas (Note: the NC Department of Environmental Quality [NCDEQ] has
previously not allowed residuals to be applied at the landfill; however, the use of closed
landfill areas for this use may be further pursued by MCB CAMLEJ).
• West side of CAMLEJ (i.e., west of New River) of CAMLEJ (a possible future expansion
of the RAP).
3.2.2 New Land Application Sites (2017)
In late 2016, CAMLEJ initiated a project to update its RMP. One of the main objectives of the
project was to identify new residual application sites. According to the RMP Manager, additional
application sites were needed because wastewater generation has continued to increase and
available application sites have decreased due to construction and development and the
discontinued use of the food plots at MCB CAMLEJ.
In February 2017, MultiMAC JV conducted field efforts to identify additional spray sites. The
selection of candidate spray sites was a multi -step process. Initially, MultiMAC JV met with the
MCB CAMLEJ RAP management staff to identify new potential sites for residual application. MCB
CAMLEJ identified candidate roads, trails and new range areas based on their familiarity with the
installation. Large areas, such as ranges and other training areas, are preferred because they
can use a larger spray nozzle and apply more residuals in a short amount of time. MCB CAMLEJ
indicated MultiMAC JV should not include areas in the candidate review process that were in
close proximity to occupied structures such as office buildings, commercial areas, industrial
buildings, residential areas or the Impact Area.
MultiMAC JV requested and obtained geographic information system (GIS) data layers for various
environmental features from the MCB CAMLETs GIS office. These layers included wetlands,
threatened and endangered species, water wells and topography. Using the GIS layers,
MultiMAC JV applied setbacks or buffers either required by MCB CAMLETs Residual Application
Permit requirements (NCDEQ Permit No. WQ0012346 dated 9 October 2015) or based on
N62470-13-D-8025 • WE10. 6480177015 11 MultiMAC JV

guidance from installation personnel. For drinking water wells, a setback radius of 200 feet was
used for each well to be consistent with Zone 1 exclusion zones identified in MCB CAMLEJ's
Wellhead Protection Plan (2015). These setback requirements are shown in Exhibit 3-5 and were
applied to determine potential sites. Also per permit requirements, MultiMAC JV excluded areas
with slopes greater than 10% as candidate spray areas for the liquid residuals.

MultiMAC JV met with various individuals at MCB CAMLEJ's Environmental Conservation Branch
to determine buffers for areas identified as having threatened and endangered species, wildlife
food plots and timber management concerns. Based on those interviews, MultiMAC JV applied
a 200-foot buffer around all red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) nesting trees and
excluded bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) nesting trees (no buffer applied). Such areas
were excluded as candidate sites. In addition, MultiMAC JV excluded all wildlife food plots as
candidate sites for residual application because the spray application equipment is too large to
effectively spray food plot areas. MultiMAC JV also excluded forested areas that were not already
accessible via TTRs or FTRs (i.e., new roads or trails were not proposed to access additional
forested areas). As a result, forested areas were only considered for residual application if the
areas were accessible via an existing road or trail.
The 2016/2017 project identified an additional 631 acres that could be used for residuals
application. Exhibit 3-6 provides a breakdown of the new residual application areas at CAMLEJ
identified in 2017.

3.2.4 Road and Trails
Forested areas adjacent to roads and trails comprise about 1,194 acres of the currently available
application area. An effective application width of 100 feet was used to estimate the available
application area next to a road or trail. Color -coded application site markers (described later in
this section) are used to designate the extent of the application trails in the field. Areas beside
roads and trails are sprayed in the cooler months (i.e., November to March) when the vegetation
in the TLZs, GPs, and ranges is not green.
3.2.5 Ammunition Supply Point (ASP)
There are approximately 235 acres inside the fence surrounding the ASP. Approximately 114
acres of the ASP are considered suitable for residuals application. However, the ASP has never
been sprayed because the ASP Command has not given permission to spray inside the fenced
area.
3.2.6 Wildlife Food Plots
Wildlife food plots are no longer sprayed because smaller application equipment is needed to
effectively spray the residuals.
3.2.7 TLZs, GPs, and Firing Ranges
The tactical landing zones (TLZs), gun positions (GPs), and firing ranges provide approximately
798 acres of open area for residuals application. These sites are located throughout the eastern
side of the Base, although the greatest concentrations of these sites are in training areas G, H,
and I. Most of these open areas are accessible from paved or improved roads. On firing ranges
where explosive ordinances are used, application vehicles will travel along firing line ranges,
spraying residuals into the downrange area. On machine gun firing ranges, application vehicles
apply residuals to all designated application areas within the range but avoiding targeting
systems.
Some TLZs and GPs contain unsuitable soils or wet areas located within the site's general
boundary. Application marker posts are not used in these areas because they are used
extensively for training and air drops. The detailed application site maps for field layouts and buffer
zone setbacks that must be maintained when residuals are being applied to these sites should be
consulted to ensure residuals are not applied in unsuitable areas.
TLZs and GPs are the preferred spray locations because they can be sprayed faster using the 4"
spray tube that leads to the splash plate on the back of application truck. A full application truck
can be emptied in about 2 minutes. Tank trails take longer to spray because the 1.5" tube that
leads to the spray nozzle on top of the application truck is used. Typically, a 100-foot wide area
is sprayed on one or both sides of a trail. A full application truck takes about 10 minutes to empty
when the 1.5" tube and spray nozzle is used. TLZs and GPs are only sprayed in the warmer
months (April to October) when grass and vegetation is green.
3.2.8 Closed Landfill
The landfill is currently not approved by DEQ to spray residuals.

Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
3.2.9 Clear -Cuts and Recent Plantings
These areas are not currently included in the approved application sites for the RAP. However,
such areas should be considered in the future as they become available. The RAP should
coordinate with the Forestry Division to determine if such areas can be used for residuals
application in the future.
To use clear -cuts, recently planted sites, or existing forested stands, access trails should be
created every 240 feet across a site. The trails should be a minimum of 15 feet wide. On clear-
cut sites, a bulldozer should push large logs and stumps out of the trail paths to eliminate blocking
the path of the application vehicle. Access trails 20 feet wide should also be installed around the
perimeter of each field. On sites where pine trees are sufficiently small, a chopper can be used to
remove one row of trees every 240 feet across the site.
3.2.10 Application Area Marker Posts
Color -coded, permanent application area marker posts are used to identify the extent of the
application and nonapplication areas along roadways and other off -road areas. A flexible,
composite boundary marker, manufactured by Rhino Marking & Protection Systems, is used for
all marker posts. White posts with self-adhesive colored decals are used to designate the direction
of application. Manufacturer's literature on the boundary markers is provided in Appendix C.
Additional posts and decals may be obtained from Rhino Marking & Protection Systems

Bloomington, MN 55420
800-522-4343
rhinomarkers.com
A three -color coding system (white, white/red, and white/yellow) is used to designate direction of
application.
• White posts indicate to begin application to the left of the marker as residuals are being
applied to the right side of the application vehicle.
White/Red posts indicate the ending point of application within a field. Residuals should not
be applied to the left of these posts when residuals are being sprayed to the right of the
vehicle.
• White/Yellow posts are used to show continued application around curves or turns along the
application path. Yellow posts are always located between a white post and a White/Red
post. Exhibit 3-9 demonstrates how the color -coded posts are used in the field to designate
the extent of application areas.
3.2.11 Transfer Areas
Transfer areas are sites where tanker trailers can park to offload residuals into the application
vehicles. Transfer areas should not be located on main highways, nor should they block the paths
of other vehicles travelling the road or trail. Wherever possible, transfer areas along the edge of
major tank trails should be located where there is sufficient room to maneuver the equipment.

Suggested transfer areas for most sections of the base are shown on the detailed application
site maps. The RPM may also designate other transfer areas not currently shown on the
drawings to minimize travel time between transfer points and application sites. Transfer areas
are best identified by field reconnaissance.
3.2.12 Site Maps/Map Booklet
Sets of detailed site application maps have been prepared to assist the RPM and operators in
running the RAP. The drawing scale of the 11-inch by 17-inch maps is 1 inch equals 400 feet.
The drawings include individual application sites, the field designation names, and major transfer
points. A set of these drawings (laminated) is kept in the cab of each application vehicle and
hauling vehicle. These maps are used with the IRAMS system to locate and verify application
areas on designated fields.

4.0 OPERATIONS
The procedures and information presented in this section are intended to facilitate initiation and
ongoing operation of the CAMLEJ RAP.
4.1 Coordination and Planning
4.1.1 Range Control
Since much of the potential application area is used for training, it is critical that the RPM
schedules hauling and application activities with Range Control Scheduler. Coordination is
performed through the web -enabled system called the Range Facilities Management Support
System (RFMSS). Camp Lejeune uses RFMSS to review and schedule/reserve access to its
ranges.
The web address for RFMSS is https://rfmss2002.belvoir.army.mil/carson/pages/login.aspx.
Access to RFMSS requires a username and password. The Range Facility Management Support
System (RFMSS) Scheduling Handbook provides instruction for navigating the system and
requesting access to ranges.
Using RFMSS, the RPM checks to ensure that a range is not being used for training and is
available to spray residuals. Once an available range is identified, the RPM submits a request.
As part of the scheduling, the RPM attempts to schedule a 24-hour time period after spraying to
allow the residuals to dry. Typically, approval is provided by the next day by the RFMSS Training
Center via RFMSS. RFMSS allows scheduling up to 90 days in advance. In the event of a
scheduling conflict with a unit wanting to use the range for training activities, the RPM can cancel
or modify the request. In some cases, the RPM may coordinate with units to determine if training
activities are such that they would allow the residuals to be sprayed during training. In such cases,
during actual spraying, RAP personnel will communicate with the units to ensure there will be no
conflicts with training activities.
In any instance, to comply with the permit (WQ0012346, Section III.13), land application will be
limited or rescheduled during military exercises to avoid any accidental inhalation or ingestion of
airborne particulate
4.1.2 Ammunition Supply Point (ASP)
If spray operations are approved for the ASP, the scheduling of residuals applications to the ASP
should be approved and coordinated through the Commanding Officer, 2nd Support Battalion, 2nd
FSSG (910-451-2114 or 910-451-2953).
4.1.3 Base Fish and Wildlife Section
Wildlife food plots are no longer sprayed because smaller application equipment is needed to
effectively spray the residuals. All issues related to the location of RCWs and other endangered
plant and animal species should be directed to the Fish and Wildlife Section (919-451-5063).

Final
If forested areas and/or clear-cut areas are to be included in the RAP, the RPM should meet with
the Forestry Section to discuss and plan the integration of residuals application into the forest
management plans for these areas (919-451-5063).
4.1.5 Landfill Operations
Currently NCDEQ does not allow residuals to be sprayed on the closed landfill. Some parts of
the landfill have grades greater than 10% which is not allowed by the permit.
4.2 Residuals Characteristics
The residual characteristics presented in this subsection were developed from recent Camp
Lejeune Wastewater Collection System Annual Performance Report for CAMLEJ's wastewater
collection system and data from the IRAMS computer program.
4.2.1 Residual Quantities
The primary and secondary thickened residuals generated by the AWWTP are combined and
stabilized in a digestion process prior to onsite storage. As shown in Exhibit 4-1, from 2013 to
2016, the average wastewater flow is 4.47 mgd which generated an average of 67,005 gpd of
wastewater residuals at an average 2.9% solids.

4.2.2 Residuals Quality
The AWWTP employs both biological nutrient removal (BNR) and high -temperature Class A
sludge treatment processes and generates Class A residuals.
4.3 Acceptable Spray Areas
Residuals that are Class A (with respect to pathogen reduction) and exceptional quality (with
respect to pollutant concentrations) can be applied to a variety of areas. Acceptable areas include
agricultural land, forests, public contact sites, reclamation sites, rangeland, pastures, sod, lawn,
N62470-13-D-8025 • WE10. 6480177015 20 MultiMAC JV

or home gardens. The EPA defines agricultural land as land on which food, feed, or fiber crops
are grown; this definition includes rangeland, pastureland, and forestland. Residuals are not
sprayed on crops or food plots.
For the Camp Lejeune RAP, Class A liquid residuals are hauled and applied in bulk on open
grassed areas and semi -open forested land. The vegetation on application sites identified in
Section 3 consist primarily of bahiagrass, native grasses, ground covers, mixed stands of pine
(longleaf, loblolly, shortleaf, and Virginia), and deciduous hardwood trees (oak, gum, yellow
poplar, bay, ash, maple). In areas where the tree density is sparse, the vegetation consists of
native grasses and woody perennials. In some forested areas, the understory vegetation is not
well developed and typically consists of a layer of leaf and pine needle litter.
The RPM should always be aware of additional potential reuse opportunities for the residuals that
are outside currently identified uses. For instance, if a borrow area or TLZ requires revegetation
or reclamation, residuals could be applied to these areas. Other potential uses might include a
soil amendment or starter fertilizer for athletic field development.
4.4 Residuals Loading Rates
Residuals application rates for agricultural or forest land are typically limited by the constituent
concentrations in the residuals and crop uptake capacities. The constituents of primary concern
are normally available nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metals. However, for CAMLEJ 's RAP,
the application and tracking of heavy metals listed in Exhibit 4-2 are not controlling factors
because the concentrations of metals in the residuals are well below the maximum pollutant
concentrations set by EPA. Therefore, nitrogen will be the parameter controlling the residuals
loading rate.
For the RPM, the IRAMS, a proprietary software, is the primary tool for determining loading rates
for land application sites. IRAMS will use up-to-date laboratory analyses of residuals and prior
loading history to determine acceptable loading rates for all fields that make up the RAP. IRAMS
daily operations are discussed briefly later in this section. For more detailed instructions on the
use of the IRAMS computer program, consult its online help system. However, to provide the
RPM and RPO with a better understanding of how loading rates are determined, tools for
determining preliminary loading rates for estimated residuals characteristics are presented in the
following subsections. This information also can be used as a general check of the loading rates
provided by the IRAMS program.

4.4.1 Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
Plant available nitrogen (PAN) refers to the concentration of nitrogen that is usable by the
receiving crop. Nitrogen in the inorganic form (e.g., nitrate and ammonium is readily plant
available. The organic form of nitrogen must be mineralized over time by soil microbes to become
plant available. The mineralization rate is mainly dependent on the type of sludge handling (i.e.,
storage and digestion) at the wastewater treatment plant. Below is the method to calculate PAN
for surface application utilized by the IRAMS software.
PAN = [M.R. x (TKN — NH3) + [0.5 x NH3)] + (NO3 + N021
where
PAN =
Plant available nitrogen (mg/kg)
M.R. =
0.3 (aerobically digested residuals)
TKN =
Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen
NH3 =
Ammonia nitrogen
NO3 =
Nitrate Nitrogen
NO2 =
Nitrite Nitrogen
The amount of nitrogen that may be applied depends on the annual uptake rate of the vegetation
system grown on the application site; the magnitude of nitrogen mineralization, denitrification,
volatilization, and fixation processes that occur in the plant -soil system; and how the crop system
is managed (harvested or not harvested).
The average residual application area was summarized based on CAMLEJ's Wastewater
Collection System Annual Performance Reports from July 2013 to June 2016. As shown in Exhibit
4-3, the average residual application area (acres) over the three-year period was 880 acres. Per
Permit No. WQ0012346 (Attachment A), the maximum amount of residuals approved for
distribution by CAMLEJ is 1,649 dry tons per year.

4.4.2 Phosphorus Loading
In IRAMS, the limit for phosphorus loading for forested areas is 30 pounds per acre per year.
4.5 Using the IRAMS
IRAMS, a proprietary system, is a key tool for the RPM. IRAMS is used to store residuals and
other monitoring data, to project allowable loading rates for sites, to log and track loading data for
each field, and to develop operational and EPA reports for the land application system. The RPM
and RPOs have received training on the use of the program and should be familiar with the
software help system. Training materials are located in an IRAMS binder located in the RPM's
Office.
4.6 Hauling and Application Procedures
An overview of hauling and application procedures to be followed by the RAP staff is summarized
in this subsection. These general procedures are used in conjunction with more detailed operating
procedures provided in manufacturer O&M manuals for the highway tractors and tankers and
application vehicles. These procedures should be modified and updated as required as operations
change. A Truck Operators Guide is included in Appendix D to assist the hauling and application
vehicle drivers in performing their duties. Daily log forms to be used by hauling and application
drivers are included with this Guide.
4.6.1 Daily Pre -Startup Activities
The RPM meets with the RAP staff to discuss the day's operations and to answer
questions. Application fields should be located on detailed site maps.
N62470-13-D-8025 • WE10. 6480177015 24 MultiMAC JV

June 2018
Final
2. All vehicle drivers should follow the guidelines listed in 49 CFR 396.17, which contains the
DOT Vehicle Inspection Requirements (see Appendix E). The RPM should be alerted
immediately regarding any equipment problems.
4.6.2 Tanker Loading
Liquid residuals are transferred from the aboveground storage tank to the tanker trailers at the
tanker loading station by a set of centrifugal pumps located near the station. Refer to the
manufacturer manual for specific operating procedures for these pumps. Tanker trailer drivers
should follow these general procedures:
1. Position the tanker trailer so that the tanker's bottom loading port is directly opposite the
loading station riser.
2. Using the quick -couple connectors, attach the loading hose to the riser and the tanker's
bottom loading port.
3. Open the top hatch to allow the trailer to vent during loading.
4. Open the isolation valves on the loading port and riser.
5. Start the transfer pump using the start/stop switch located next to the pumps.
6. If the tanker is empty, load 6,000 gallons of residuals into the 8,000-gallon tanker, the
maximum load that should be hauled in the tanker. This 6,000 gallon load is equivalent to
three 2,000-gallon application vehicle loads. Each pump delivers approximately 300 gpm.
If both pumps are operating, an empty tanker can be loaded in approximately 7 minutes.
7. Monitor the tank level and turn off the transfer pump when an appropriate level is reached.
Depending on the level of residuals in the storage tank, residuals will continue to flow into
the tanker until the isolation valves are closed.
8. Close the isolation valve on the riser and then the isolation valve on the loading port. Place
the loading hose on the ground over the grate, making sure that any residuals running out
of the hose are directed into the grate area.
9. Close the tanker hatch and fill in the quantity of residuals loaded into the tanker.
4.6.3 Residuals Transport and Transfer
1. Because the amount of traffic typically found on the Base's road system is heavy, drivers
should operate their vehicles cautiously at all times. Follow the guidelines discussed in the
Truck Operators Guide (Appendix D).
2. Upon arriving at the preselected transfer point, position the tanker so that it does not block
the road. The loading port is accessible from the left side of the tanker, allowing for a
convenient departure. The unloading area should be selected by joint agreement of the
tanker and application vehicle drivers. If the application vehicle is applying residuals to a
road or trail field, and the tanker can follow the road back to a major highway for the return
trip to the AWWTP, position the tanker behind the application vehicle as it moves down
the road. Keep up with the application vehicle to minimize travel time to and from the
loading point. If the application sites are in remote areas where the tanker cannot turn
around, find a transfer point as close as possible to the majority of the fields that will be
land applied that day.

3. After positioning the trailer, open the top hatch on the tanker to allow air to enter the tank
as it is withdrawn by the application vehicle's vacuum pump.
4. Use the camlock quick -couple connectors to attach the flexible transfer hose to the
tanker's loading port and the application vehicle's bottom loading port. Place the
application truck pump into vacuum mode.
5. The tanker driver should open the isolation valve on the tanker loading port while the
application vehicle driver opens the isolation valve on the spray application vehicle's
bottom loading port.
6. The application vehicle driver should follow the detailed instructions provided by the
manufacturer to operate the vacuum pump system for loading the tanker. The application
vehicle holds 2,000 gallons when full. One tanker should provide three application vehicle
loads.
7. When the application vehicle has been loaded, turn off the vacuum pump and close the
isolation valves on the application vehicle and tanker. Unhook the hose from the
application vehicle and place it in the hose carrier on the side of the tanker, being careful
not to spill residuals on the ground.
8. Repeat this loading procedure as required to empty the tank. After the last load, the tanker
trailer returns to the AWWTP for another load.
4.6.4 Residuals Application
The residuals will be applied using the 2,000-gallon residual application vehicle. The remotely
operated spray nozzle is used to apply the residuals to forested areas. The spreader plate located
at the rear of the vehicle is used to apply residuals to open grassed areas such as the TLZs and
gun positions. The vacuum -pressure pump on the residual application vehicle allows the residuals
to be loaded directly from the tanker trailer. The pump is used in pressure mode when the vehicle
is applying the residuals through the nozzle or splash plate. A chopper pump at the bottom of the
tank provides an additional pressure boost when the spray nozzle is being used.
The residual application vehicle operator should be thoroughly familiar with the vehicle's
instrument and equipment and with the detailed operating instructions found in the manufacturer
O&M manual. The following instructions are meant to supplement those provided by the residual
application vehicle.
1. To load the vehicle, connect hoses as discussed earlier, and operate the pump in vacuum
mode. When the application vehicle is full, the valve on the tanker is closed and a siphon
valve opens to allow air to enter the hose. The application vehicle then draws most of the
sludge out of the hose, minimizing spillage and associated problems.
2. Once the hose is empty, close the knife valve on the residual application vehicle.
3. Switch the pump setting to "pressure" and shut off the pump.
4. Disconnect the hose and proceed to the field to apply the load of residuals.
5. When travelling with a full load, be careful not to travel too fast, especially in rough terrain.
Follow manufacturer recommendations on travel speed.
6. Upon arrival at the site, turn on the main pump. If the spray nozzle is being used, also turn
on the chopper pump. For residuals application to tank trail or forest trail fields, make sure

Final
the spray nozzle is to the right of the white marker before opening the valve that allows
ejection of residuals from the nozzle. Because of the low loading rates, the application
vehicle cannot be driven at a continuous rate of speed while applying the material. The
driver must go forward a short distance, stop, then work the nozzle from side to side to
apply the material. Before applying the first load to a field, the driver should know the total
gallons to be applied to a particular field, so as to allow for application rate adjustment to
achieve the desired application rate. The approximate flow rate through the rear discharge
is 800 gpm.
7. To apply the material through the rear splash plate, operate only the main vacuum -
pressure pump. The in -tank chopper pump is not required. The rear -discharge spreading
width can be varied from approximately 10 to 35 feet by adjusting the rear discharge plate.
To compute the desired travel speed, use the following equation:
5940 x Q
V=
RxW
where:
V = vehicle speed, miles per hour (mph)
5940 = constant
Q = unloading flow rate, gpm
R = application rate, gallons/acre
W = spreading width, inches
This is a sample calculation to estimate vehicle travel speed to apply 10,300 gallons per
acre of residuals:
If W = 15 feet, Q = 800 gpm, and R = 10,300 gallons per acre,
V=
5940 x 800 gpm
10,300 gpm x 180 inches
= 2.6 mph
8. After emptying the load, return to the transfer point and repeat loading steps.
9. Keep a daily log of the number of loads applied to each field. Use the log form included in
the Truck Operator's Guide (Appendix D).
10. At the end of the day, if the same site will require residuals application the next day, park
the application vehicle in a location out of the way of other vehicles. If the application will
be made to a different area the next day, move the vehicle to that r site or leave it at the
AWWTP.
As stipulated in the permit, residuals cannot be sprayed under the following conditions:
• If the residuals are likely to adversely affect a threatened or endangered species listed
under section 4 of the Endangered Species Act or its designated critical habitat;
• If the application causes prolonged nuisance conditions;
• If the land fails to assimilate the bulk residuals or the application causes the contravention
of surface water or groundwater standards;

• If the land is flooded, frozen, or snow-covered, or is otherwise in a condition such that
runoff of the residuals would occur;
• Within the 100-year floor elevation, unless the bulk residuals are injected or incorporated
within a 24-hour period following a residuals land application event;
• During a measurable precipitation event (i.e., greater than 0.01 inches per hour), or within
24 hours following a rainfall event of 0.5 inches or greater in a 24-hour period;
• If the slope is greater than 10% for surface applied liquid residuals, or if the slope is greater
than 18% for injected or incorporated bulk liquid residuals;
• If the soil pH is not maintained at 6.0 or greater, unless sufficient amounts of lime are
applied to achieve a final soil pH of at least 6.0, or if an agronomist provides information
indicating that the pH of the soil, residuals, and lime mixture is suitable for the specified
crop. Any approved variations to the acceptable soil pH (6.0) will be noted in this permit;
• If the land does not have an established vegetative cover unless the residuals are
incorporated or injected within a 24-hour period following a residuals land application
event. Any field that is in a USDA no -till program shall be exempted from meeting this
vegetative cover requirement;
• If the vertical separation between the seasonal high-water table and the depth of residuals
application is less than one foot;
• If the vertical separation of bedrock and the depth of residuals application is less than one
foot;
• Application exceeds agronomic rates.

5.0 MONITORING AND RECORDKEEPING
This section presents the monitoring program and record -keeping requirements for use in the
RAP. Included are descriptions of sampling frequencies, sampling locations, sample collection
handling and preservation protocols, analytical parameters and methods, and record -keeping
requirements.
5.1 Monitoring Program
To help AWWTP staff evaluate the land application system's performance and to show
compliance with state and federal regulations, a monitoring and record -keeping program has been
established for residuals tracking. The monitoring data are used to determine the need for
management changes to maintain the system's safe, effective performance.
The monitoring program is designed to be a management tool and is a key element in project
operation. It also complies with monitoring and record -keeping requirements specified in the
Permit No. WQ 0012346 (Section 4) that has been issued for the AWWTP, as well as in 40 CFR
503.
To determine the effects of residuals application on application sites and to detect potential
problems, the application site operation and monitoring data should be reviewed each year. This
review also will suggest required changes needed for the land application system and site
management. Modification to this program may be appropriate if other requirements or deletions
are identified during the agency review and annual review of data.
The monitoring program described in this section and outlined below identifies the current
requirements in Permit No. WQ0012346 (Appendix A):
• Monitoring frequency
• Recommended pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction (VAR) methods
• Residuals monitoring
• Sampling procedures
5.1.1 Monitoring Frequency
Permit No. WQ0012346 lists the minimum monitoring frequency for metal pollutants, pathogenic
organisms, and vector attraction characteristics according to the amount of sewage sludge dry
weight basis (dwb) generated or processed each year. The various monitoring frequencies listed
in Permit No. WQ0012346 are shown in Exhibit 5-1. The maximum amount of residuals permitted
for distribution by CAM LEJ is 1,649 dry tons per day. Therefore, the RAP staff should sample its
residuals for metals, nutrients, pathogens and VAR quarterly.

Residuals samples should accurately reflect site conditions. Careful sampling and analysis are
necessary to provide reliable information for management decisions. Sampling techniques for
obtaining necessary system monitoring program data are presented in this section. To help in
preparing, collecting, and interpreting sample results, AWWTP staff should refer to the following
publications:

Federation. Standard Methods for the Examination of Wastewater. 19th Ed. 1995.

Analysis Guidance Document. NTIS PB 93-227957. 2nd Ed. September 1994.
5.1.2 Recommended Pathogen and Vector Attraction Reduction Methods
For land application suitability, residuals must meet limits for metals, pathogens, vector
attractiveness, and hazardous characteristics, as set forth by EPA in 40 CFR 503. Heavy metal
concentrations and hazardous characteristics are typically independent of the sludge treatment
process. However, EPA requires that one of six alternatives be met to classify residuals as a
Class A sludge with respect to pathogen reduction (40 CFR 503.32), and that one of ten options
be met to satisfy the VAR requirement (40 CFR 503.33).
Camp Lejeune uses Class A Alternative 1 to demonstrate compliance with the pathogen reduction
requirements. Fecal samples are collected as a grab sample and analyzed weekly (SM9221 E) by
RAP staff.
To demonstrate compliance with the VAR requirements, CAMLEJ uses Option 1, reducing volatile
solids in the sewage sludge by a minimum of 38 percent. Exhibit 5-2 summarizes the pathogen
reduction and VAR requirements used at CAMLEJ. [Note: Option/Alternative 4 (instead of 1) is

5.1.3 Residuals Monitoring
The objective of ongoing residuals monitoring is to maintain current knowledge about the quality
and quantity of the application residuals and to help manage the land application sites for optimum
residuals treatment. Residuals are monitored for nutrients, metal pollutants, and pathogenic
organisms. Additional monitoring requirements for VAR and pathogen reduction are presented
later in this section. Daily and weekly records are kept to demonstrate that the operating
parameters used to establish compliance are regularly met. Residuals are sampled and analyzed
for the following parameters:
• Total solids (percent)
• pH (units)
• Nitrogen (milligrams per kilogram [mg/kg]):
o total Kjeldahl nitrogen
o ammonia -nitrogen
o nitrate and nitrite
• Total phosphorus (mg/kg)
• Potassium (mg/kg)
• Metals (mg/kg): arsenic, cadmium, copper, chromium, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel,
selenium, zinc
• Aluminum (mg/kg)
• Calcium (mg/kg)
• Magnesium (mg/kg)
• Sodium (mg/kg)
• Fecal coliform density (MPN/gram of total dry solids
• Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP): a testing methodology used to determine
if a waste is hazardous (i.e., toxic)
It is the RPM's responsibility to make sure that residuals samples are properly collected on a
timely basis. Residuals samples should be delivered to the Environmental Lab Section (ELS) or
N62470-13-D-8025 • WE10. 6480177015 31 MultiMAC JV

the contract analytical laboratory for analysis. ELS or the contract laboratory will provide the
analytical results to the RPM. Test results are input into the IRAMS database as described in the
program's online manual. Hard copies of original lab data sheets are to be kept on file. A summary
of the parameters, the location and frequency in which they should be sampled, and the analysis
method and reference are presented in Exhibit 5-3.
5.1.4 Sampling Procedures
Accurate sampling is essential for valid laboratory test results. All samples collected at the
AWWTP are grab samples, which are samples taken at selected intervals to represent conditions
at a given location at a particular point in time. The following residuals process flow streams are
sampled:
Feed residuals into the aerobic digester
Digested residuals removed from the aerobic digester
Digested residuals pumped from the storage tank into tanker trucks
Grab samples of residuals must be stored in a manner that will not alter sample characteristics.
Proper preservatives also must be used for specific parameters. The samples should be kept
under refrigeration or on ice at 4° Celsius until delivered to ELS or the contract laboratory for
analysis. RAP staff should check with ELS or the contract laboratory for recommended
preservatives and maximum holding times for residuals samples. Residuals sampling is included
in the overall sampling and monitoring protocol developed for the AWWTP.
A summary of recommended sampling procedures and analytical procedures is presented in
Appendix F. This information is from Chapter 8 of EPA's Control of Pathogens and Vector
Attraction in Sewage Sludge. These procedures should be followed to ensure validity of data and
laboratory results.
5.1.4.1 Sampling Log
RAP staff should record sampling information on Forms or in IRAMS. As outlined in the EPA
document referenced above, RAP staff should record a sufficient amount of information so that
the sampling event can be reconstructed without relying on the collector's memory. Suggested
log book entries should include, at a minimum:
• Purpose of sampling
• Location of sampling point
• Type of sample (grab or composite)
• Name of person collecting samples
• Type of residuals sampled (undigested, post -digestion, post -storage)
• Number and volume of sample(s) collected
• Description of sampling point
• Date and time of collection

chain -of -custody sheets provided by the contract laboratory or a Chain of Custody Record which
is used with CAMLETs ELS.
5.2 Record -Keeping Requirements
Permit No. WQ0012346 (Section IV.6) requires that the following records tracking all bulk residual
land application events be maintained:
• Date of Land Application
• Application rate of residuals (dry tons per acre)
• Crop grown on site, if any;
• Location where residuals are applied
• Purpose of application (land stabilization, etc.)
• Site conditions at time of application (weather conditions, etc.)
• Pollutant concentrations
• Pathogen reduction methods and standards
• VAR methods and standards
• Land application operations
RAP staff must maintain the monitoring records for at least five years so that they are readily
accessible to NCDEQ and EPA inspectors. Failure to keep adequate records violates federal and
state laws.
5.2.1 Records of Pollutant Concentrations
The following documentation for sampling and analysis of pollutant concentrations for residuals

5.2.2 Records of Vector Attraction Reduction
The DEQ non -discharge permit and the 40 CFR 503 regulation require that sludge generators
meet VAR requirements and describe how these requirements have been met. The certification
statement for pathogen reduction can also certify VAR compliance requirements. The IRAMS
program for vector attraction compliance provides appropriate certification statement forms.
As noted in Exhibit 5-2, RAP staff use Option 1 to demonstrate compliance with VAR
requirements. A contract laboratory analyzes sludge samples for Total Solids in percent (using
SM2540G) and Volatile solids in percent (using SM2540E). RAP staff maintains documentation
showing the VS reduction percentage across the digestion and storage processes which are
included in the annual report submitted to NCDEQ entitled Class A Wastewater Residuals Annual
Application Report.
5.2.3 Records of Land Application
The Class A Residuals Permit states that records tracking all bulk residual land application events
must be maintained. At a minimum, these records must include the following:
• Date of land application;
• Application rate of residuals (dry tons per acre),
• Crop grown on site, if any;
• Location where the residuals are applied,
• Purpose of application (land stabilization, etc.),
• Site conditions at time of application (weather conditions, etc.).
This data is recorded in (RAMS.
5.2.4 Noncompliance Notification
It is required to report by telephone to the Wilmington Region Office, telephone number 910-796-
7215, as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following
the occurrence of first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:

MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
• Land application of residuals abnormal in quality or characteristic.
• Any failure of the distribution program resulting in a release of material to surface waters.
• Any time self -monitoring indicates the facility has gone out of compliance with its permit
limitations.
• Any process unit failure, due to known on unknown reasons, rendering the facility
incapable of adequate residual treatment.
• Any spill or discharge from a vehicle or piping system during residuals transportation.
Any emergency requiring immediate reporting outside normal business hours should be reported
to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at telephone number 800-858-0368, or 919-
733-3300. Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone should also file a written report in
letter form within five days following the first knowledge of the occurrence. This report should
outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
5.3 Record -Keeping Methods
5.3.1 Daily Operator Transport/Application Logs
A daily log for transport trailer operators is presented in Appendix D. Information on the form
should be completed daily, preferably as the driver delivers residuals to the application site.
Submit daily logs to the RPM at the end of each workday. This information then will be loaded
into the IRAMS database at least weekly (see discussion below).
• Note the number of loads hauled and applied to each field.
• Note the transport and application vehicle.
• Note weather conditions (e.g., sunny or raining, temperature).
• Note unusual site conditions (e.g., blocked access to application site, standing water,
unscheduled training exercises that prevented application).
5.3.2 Recordkeeping with IRAMS
IRAMS, a proprietary system, was developed to assist the RPM in determining agronomic loading
rates for land application sites and to simplify the storage and retrieval of data essential to
operating the system and meeting regulatory reporting requirements. IRAMS is a Visual Basic
program and Access database coupled to a set of digital orthophotos to show locations of
application sites and other pertinent site information. IRAMS provides the RPM with a powerful
tool to reduce the amount of time required to determine and track loading rates, assess status of
land application sites, and prepare operations and regulatory reports.
IRAMS provides the following capabilities:
• Stores, displays, and retrieves information about the AWWTP and land application sites.
Examples include type of residuals, facility and site addresses, contact names, and phone
numbers.
• Stores, displays, and retrieves residuals quality data. Data is used in determining loading rates
and reporting to regulatory agencies.

Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
• Projects up-to-date residuals loading rates for each site, based on crop nutrient requirements,
residuals quality, and the estimated quantity of residual nitrogen that is available from previous
applications.
• Stores and tracks residuals loading information for individual sites.
• Displays application site boundaries and field information on digital orthophoto base through
the ArcView program.
• Location of each individual application site
• Size of each application site
• Date and time residuals were applied
• Cumulative amount of each pollutant applied to each site
• Quantity of residuals applied to each site
For more detailed instructions on installing and operating the program, consult the IRAMS
program installation instructions and help manual.
5.3.4 Submittal of Annual Report
As required by CAMLETs residual permit (WQ0012346) must submit three copies of an annual
report. Instructions for reporting and annual report forms are available at
https://deg. nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-resources-perm its/wastewater-

6.0 MAINTENANCE
This section presents an overview of general maintenance requirements. A checklist of routine
preventive maintenance procedures for major equipment and the performance frequency is
presented in Exhibit 6-1. For more specific maintenance and lubrication questions, consult the
manufacturer O&M manuals located in the RPM's office.
6.1 Management
Successful operation of the RAP depends on proper maintenance of the application sites,
grounds, and equipment. Clean facilities and grounds also help ensure personnel safety. Routine
preventive maintenance of vehicles and mechanical equipment such as residuals transfer pumps,
semi -tractors, tanker trailers, and application vehicles optimizes performance and reduces the
frequency of mechanical failure. The RAP represents a substantial public capital investment in
protecting environmental quality. A sound maintenance program will enhance CAMLETs ability
to provide a high -quality program at a reasonable cost.
General maintenance requirements for the hauling and application equipment and land
application sites are covered in this section. RAP staff and Base Maintenance (BM) staff should
refer to manufacturer O&M manuals (located in the RPM's office) for more detailed maintenance
and lubrication information for the hauling and application equipment.
6.1.1 Maintenance Warranty Provisions
RAP staff should become familiar with the limited warranty statements provided by equipment
manufacturers. The warranty statements are typically found in the manufacturer O&M manuals.
A copy of all warranties should be placed in a separate file for easy retrieval.
6.1.2 Maintenance Personnel
Properly trained BM staff should perform all major inspections, and repairs, while RAP staff should
perform preventive maintenance tasks. RAP staff should be thoroughly familiar with the functions
and operations of the equipment and knowledgeable about servicing procedures. A good
maintenance management program should carefully classify and assign the responsibilities of
O&M personnel.
Section 7 describes AWWTP staff general job titles and descriptions, as well as the experience
and qualifications required for each position. Qualified personnel are essential if equipment is to
receive the best maintenance possible, thereby avoiding expensive repairs and replacement, and
reducing the risk of breakdowns that could endanger public health.
6.1.3 Maintenance Information Sources
Both RAP and BM staff have ready access to equipment O&M information, which is filed in the
RPM's office and updated as necessary. The best sources of maintenance information are
manufacturer O&M manuals, which accompany each piece of equipment and are bound in
separate volumes.

• Descriptive literature (catalog cuts and data sheets)
• Parts lists
• Instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and repair
• Performance data (e.g., pump performance curves)
• Electrical diagrams
• Schedules of required lubricants and chemicals
RAP and BM staff should carefully examine these O&M manuals to become familiar with each
piece of equipment.
As a source of maintenance information, this chapter is designed to give only an overview of
maintenance requirements and therefore may not contain answers for specific maintenance
questions. Consult manufacturer O&M manuals or contact the manufacturer for specific
maintenance information.
6.1.4 Maintenance Tools and Equipment
Effective maintenance and operation depend on the availability of proper tools; this is facilitated
by keeping them in specific storage places. Since the application vehicles are typically operated
in remote areas of the Base, some specialty tools should be kept on the application vehicles in
case of emergencies or mechanical malfunction. The following tools should be kept on each
application vehicle:
1. Complete set of tools, including wrenches, socket sets, and hammer
2. Small chain saw (to cut trees and other vegetation that may have fallen across trails or that
are impeding the stream of residuals being discharged from the spray nozzle)
3. Appropriate safety equipment as recommended by the manufacturer (e.g., gloves, eye
protection, ear protection)
4. Chain, cable, or heavy-duty rope that can be used to remove large trees or other debris that
may block access trails

Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
6.1.4.1 Storage and Inventory System
A central storeroom should be maintained for spare parts, equipment, and supplies. A review of
the equipment and manufacturer recommendations will help determine which spare parts and
miscellaneous supplies should be included in the inventory. The spare parts and components
should be listed in a central catalog with assigned numbers and quantities to be stocked. The
existing BM data management system (DMS) should be used to track stock and to determine
when equipment is due for preventative maintenance and servicing.
The central storeroom may be shared with other AWWTP facilities. The RPM should maintain
records and accountability of the parts, initiate information for purchase orders, and handle a
stores withdrawal system to maintain information on parts.
6.2 Maintenance Procedures
6.2.1 Preventive Maintenance
Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance is essential for keeping equipment in good working
order. Routine tasks should be performed on the same day each week or each month to avoid
confusion as to when they were last performed. For example, each Monday can be set aside for
performing the weekly tasks, and the first Monday of each month can be set aside for monthly
tasks. Annual lubrication can be performed during January.
An effective maintenance management system is designed to achieve the following goals:
• Provide periodic, timely, standardized, and complete equipment maintenance.
• Prevent excessive maintenance, such as overgreasing bearings.
• Increase system reliability by providing early detection of, or by preventing, equipment
malfunction.
• Improve the efficiency of equipment operation.
• Extend equipment life.
• Improve safety by reducing unexpected breakdowns and by providing safety precautions with
maintenance procedures.
• Reduce overall maintenance costs.
• Provide a complete record system covering equipment history, maintenance costs, and
workloads.
The following components are necessary for a maintenance management system:
• Complete equipment records and maintenance history
• Preventive maintenance scheduling
• Corrective maintenance cost reporting
• Standardized preventive maintenance procedures
• Management reports on maintenance costs, overdue tasks, and employee use

Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
General preventive maintenance and lubrication requirements for major equipment used at the
AWWTP, including the semi -tractors, tanker trailers and application vehicles, are discussed in the
following sections.
6.2.2 Equipment Lubrication
The correct selection and application of lubricants will increase the useful life of the hauling and
application equipment. Manufacturer recommendations concerning lubricants and their
application frequency should be followed. Lubricating more often than necessary wastes time and
materials. Because lubrication is such an important part of the maintenance program, the RPM
should regularly review the lubrication schedule. The RPM should be responsible for the following
tasks:
• Preparing lubrication specifications
• Establishing and updating lubrication schedules
• Training personnel on proper lubrication techniques
• Devising standard application methods
• Maintaining consumption and inventory records
• Establishing proper handling and storage methods
• Investigating new lubricants and evaluating and revising their use as appropriate
• Establishing generic standards for lubricants whenever possible to eliminate the need to
purchase similar items under different trade names
Lubrication points, types, and frequencies should be defined for each piece of equipment and
included in the preventive maintenance program. Equipment can be color -coded with decals to
indicate points of service.
Excessive lubrication of motor bearings can cause motor failures and should therefore be
avoided. When motor bearings are replaced, sealed lifetime bearings should be substituted, but
only if they meet manufacturer recommendations.
6.2.3 Maintenance of Application Sites
Periodic control of small trees and brush along the edge of some road/trail application sites
probably will be required since the application of nutrients may increase growth rates of trees and
brush. Check roadways and trails at least once a year to see if vegetation height or density
impedes the water stream leaving the spray nozzle. If control is required, either herbicides or
mechanical means (e.g., side -mower) can be used. Check with EMD and RAP staff for
appropriate herbicides that are approved and labeled for use on the Base.

Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
6.2.4 Road and Trail Maintenance
Note locations along roads and trails that require improvement so that hauling and application
equipment access to application sites is not impeded. Provide this information to Range Control
and RAP staff. RAP staff must arrange for requested repairs.
6.2.5 General Housekeeping
Good housekeeping practices keep operations running smoothly. Scheduled maintenance should
be provided for the loading station area, transfer areas, and metal works such as motor and pump
housings, metal railings, gratings, and miscellaneous metal coverings. Exhibit 6-2 provides a
housekeeping schedule for the residuals management facilities.

6.2.6 General Maintenance Tools and Equipment
Effective maintenance depends on the availability of proper tools. For this reason, tools should
be kept in specific storage places. Specialty tools and delicate instruments should be stored in
the maintenance room, and the RPM should maintain usage control. Hand tools are placed in
specific slots in the maintenance room and should be cleaned and replaced after each job has
been completed or at the end of each workday.

8.0 SAFETY
This section presents general information on safety procedures to help prevent accidents. It also
presents information on pump station hazards, electrical and mechanical equipment hazards, fire
protection, bacterial infection, and procedures for handling hazardous chemicals and safety
equipment. Safety precautions and procedures outlined in manufacturer O&M manuals for the
hauling and application equipment also should be followed. A list of additional recommended
safety references is included at the end of this section.
8.1 Compliance with Range Control Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
This section should be used in conjunction with safety procedures outlined in MCO 3570.1 and
the Base Order (BO 3570.1 C), Standard Operating Procedures for Range Control Operations
(Range Control SOP), and other EMD safety procedures. If safety instructions or procedures
contained in this section conflict with those covered in the Range Control SOP, the Range Control
SOP takes precedence. The RPM and all operators should read, understand, and implement the
safety procedures and requirements listed in the Range Control SOP. A readily available copy of
the SOP should be kept in the RPM's office.
8.2 Safety Overview
Accidents are usually caused by carelessness or hazardous conditions, with effects ranging from
slight annoyance to fatality. Accidents can damage equipment and personal property, and can
affect environmental quality. Accident prevention programs help reduce physical hazards by
promoting safety awareness.
Less than 20 percent of all accidents are attributed to unsafe conditions or physical hazards. All
RAP staff should be alert for unsafe conditions and either correct them immediately or report them
to proper authority. The following unsafe conditions are often found and should be corrected when
noted:
• Deeply rutted trails or roads used for residuals application
• Roads or trails covered in water
• Lack of safety devices on a piece of equipment
• Ineffective safety devices
• Defective equipment, tools, or machines
• Improper illumination
• Improper ventilation
• Improper clothing for the job being performed
• Poor housekeeping, leading to congested areas or walkways
• Cluttered work areas
• Materials such as oil or water on floors or walkways
Other conditions that should be eliminated include high noise levels, faulty equipment design, and
faulty or poor equipment construction and/or maintenance.
Approximately 80 percent of all accidents result from unsafe acts, examples of which follow:
N62470-13-D-8025 • WE10. 6480177015 48 MultiMAC JV
Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
• Improper training
• Failure to use protective equipment
• Failure to install provided equipment guards
• Failure to recognize and avoid sharp and slippery objects
• Improper lifting
• Use of loose or improper grip on objects
• Use of improper tools or equipment for a job
• Hazardous movement such as running, jumping, stepping on or climbing over an object,
throwing tools or equipment, and horseplay
Proper safety training helps prevent many of these unsafe acts. Other factors that contribute to
accidents, which should be recognized and corrected, include the following:
• Inadequate safety instructions
• Failure to enforce safety rules
• Poor safety planning
• Infrequent supervisor -employee communication regarding safety
• Failure to correct noted hazards
• Failure to provide necessary safety devices
The psychological and physical conditions of employees also play a role in accidents. Lack of
safety awareness, improper attitude, nervousness, emotional instability, and slow reactions can,
when linked with physical problems, increase the chances of an accident. Fatigue and hearing or
vision impairments can be particularly dangerous if not corrected.
8.3 General Safety Guidelines
The following guidelines can reduce the likelihood of on-the-job injuries
• Observe all written and oral safety rules. Be aware of job -related hazards.
• Do not start a task until instructions have been received and fully understood.
• Immediately correct or report to a supervisor all hazardous conditions and unsafe equipment
or working practices.
• Report all injuries and accidents to a supervisor.
• Drink only from water fountains. All other water sources on the AWWTP or application areas
should be considered unsafe to drink.
• Do not run. Avoid slippery or congested areas.
• Do not ride on or operate moving equipment unless required to complete the task. Staff should
receive instructions before operating moving equipment.
• When operating moving equipment, observe all traffic signs, speed limits, and parking
regulations.
• Do not wear loose clothing or carry rags in your pockets. Cloth may become caught in
equipment, which could cause personal injury.
• Use protective equipment such as goggles, hard hats, gloves, and respirators whenever
required by the task.
• Do not operate equipment unless all safety guards and safety devices designed for that
equipment are in place, except as permitted in written maintenance or emergency operation
procedures.
N62470-13-D-8025 • WE10. 6480177015 49 MultiMAC JV
Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
• Shut off equipment before cleaning debris from moving parts.
• If it is necessary to remove safety devices, handrails, manhole covers, or related items, warn
fellow employees. Reinstall as soon as possible.
• Keep all tools in good repair. Use tools that are appropriate to the task performed.
• Do not pass under or work beneath fellow employees unless a task requires doing so. Never
enter a wet well, tank, or basin until all safety precautions have been taken.
• Practice good housekeeping. Immediately clean up any grease, oil, or other liquids that may
have spilled or leaked from equipment. Do not use gasoline to clean up oil and grease. Keep
all passageways, aisles, stairs, and exits clear of tools, equipment, and other materials.
• Do not consider a task finished until the safest possible conditions have been made for the
next person.
8.4 Proper Handling Practices
In operating and maintaining land application systems, many types of materials and objects are
handled. Use proper safety equipment, especially when handling heavy or bulky items such as
pipe and equipment spare parts. The following rules should be followed to avoid injury to hands
and fingers:
• Visually inspect the item for metal slivers, jagged edges, burrs, and rough or slippery surfaces.
• Keep hands clean of oil, grease, or water, which may prevent a firm grip.
• Wipe off greasy, wet, slippery, or dirty objects before handling.
• Use gloves as necessary.
• Grasp an object firmly before lifting.
• Keep fingers away from any points where they could be pinched or crushed, especially when
setting down an object.
• When handling pipes or other long objects, keep hands away from the ends to prevent them
from being pinched or crushed.
8.5 Proper Lifting Practices
Back injuries are common on the job. Such injuries are often caused by improper lifting. To avoid
back injury, the following lifting practices should be followed:
• Consider the size, weight, and shape of the object. Do not lift more weight than can be handled
comfortably. If necessary, get help from other staff or from a mechanical lifting device.
• Make sure you have solid footing. Usually, the most effective position for safely lifting an object
is to place one foot slightly ahead of the other. Place feet far enough apart for proper balance
and stability. It may be necessary to bend down almost to the floor on one knee. Do not bend
into a full squatting position; straightening up from a full squat requires almost twice as much
effort as straightening up from a crouching position.
• Get as close as possible to the load to be lifted. Bend down at the knees by about 90 degrees.
Your head, shoulders, and back should be as straight as possible.
• Be sure to hold the object close to your body. Hold it securely with your hands placed under
the object.
• To lift the object, stand up using your abdomen, legs, and buttocks. Do not bend your back.
Move slowly and smoothly, without twisting while lifting.
• When setting the object down, reverse the above procedures, being especially careful not to
arch your back forward.
N62470-13-D-8025 • WE10. 6480177015 50 MultiMAC JV
Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
If more than one person is needed to carry an object, they should position themselves so that the
weight of the load is equally distributed and uniformly lifted, especially if the load will be
transported on an incline or stairs. When the load's weight is known, it is relatively easy to
determine the number of people needed to transport it safely, keeping in mind that individual
strengths will vary. If an individual staff member cannot comfortably lift a load, seek help
elsewhere or obtain a mechanical device, such as a hoist or dolly, or even an office chair with
wheels.
8.6 Working with Electrical Equipment
All electrical equipment used in the residuals management facilities has been designed to ensure
staff safety and efficient operations. All exposed electrical wiring is encased in conduit as an
additional safety measure. Waterproof conduit has been used to prevent short circuiting where
wiring would be subjected to moisture, or where the wiring must be run underground.
The door to any electrical switchgear panelboard cannot be opened unless its main power is
disconnected. This preventative design is used because some wiring in the panelboard is
connected to uninsulated circuit breakers or bus bars that can cause electrocution. All of a
panelboard's operating controls, constructed of nonconductive materials, can be operated with a
closed panelboard door.
The electrical motors used throughout the facility were selected for proper application and
environmental considerations. All motors are grounded for safety and must be disassembled
before any electrical wiring within the motor is contacted.
Outside lighting is weathertight or waterproof, requiring disassembly to contact energized wiring.
Interior lighting inside the buildings is completely enclosed. The remainder of interior lighting is
constructed of heavy-duty material designed for rugged industrial use.
The following safety rules should be observed to protect both electrical equipment and staff
• Never open an electrical control panel unless required by the task.
• Allow only authorized, trained AWWTP or BM staff to work on electrical equipment.
• Know electrical equipment and its voltages (equipment should be labeled).
• Become familiar with the type of work before opening an electrical control panel or before
working on any electrical equipment. Once work has begun on any electrical circuit, do not
allow your attention to be diverted until the work is completed.
• Before disassembling or working on electrical equipment, make sure the equipment is de -
energized. To do this, tag or disconnect the open breaker and, if possible, lock it in the open
position (i.e., lock -out; tag -out (LOTO). In addition, ground all phases rated higher than 600
volts. Always disconnect electrical equipment at both the motor control center (MCC) and the
equipment itself before beginning work.
• Only the worker who initially locked out the equipment should be authorized to remove the
lockout devices.
• When working on electrical equipment, make sure the work area is as dry as possible.
• Place rubber mats on the floor surrounding electrical panels.
• When working inside an electrical control panel, shield all energized electrical circuits next to
the one being worked on. Such shields should be made of approved nonconductive materials.
N62470-13-D-8025 • WE10. 6480177015 51 MultiMAC JV
Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
• Because space is limited, if possible, the work in an electrical control panel should be assigned
to only one worker. Keep clear access to the panel by promptly removing tools and equipment
from the area.
• Make sure adequate lighting is available while working in a control panel.
• Use correct replacement parts. Never substitute a higher rated replacement circuit breaker,
fuse, or heater.
• Use extreme caution when handling wires. Handle all wires as though they are live, including
those in breakers.
• Before starting work in the electrical control panel, test all circuits, making sure they are not
energized. Some circuits, such as a 277-volt leg of a 3-phase 480-volt circuit, can be partially
energized if a common circuit breaker is not provided.
• Use nonconductive equipment, tools, and personal protective equipment approved for
electrical equipment use.
• Never use a panel or electrical control box as a storage area for spare equipment parts.
• Use nonflammable and nonconductive cleaning solvents or contact cleaners.
• Keep electrical motors, switches, and control boxes clean at all times.
• Keep all ground connections clean and securely fastened on motors or other equipment.
• Replace color -coded wire on equipment with wire of the same color.
• Make sure that each power tool is equipped with a safety ground.
• Locate wires before trenching, cutting, or drilling is performed on a wall or panel.
• When working near electricity, do not become grounded on pipes or drains.
• Never use metal ladders near electrical equipment. Do not raise pipes or other metal objects
into electrical gear.
• Use dry -chemical fire extinguishers near electrical equipment.
• Use only manufactured wiring. Do not use handmade wiring.
• Use extreme caution when using extension cords. Use cords of adequate size for the electrical
load. Do not allow cords to become wet or frayed.
• Keep electrical boxes closed and avoid wetting them with water during wash -down.
• In of the event of electrical shock, turn off the power if the breaker is readily available. Never
touch a live wire with bare hands. Send for help and immediately provide cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) until the person's breathing and heartbeat are restored or until a physician
instructs otherwise.
8.7 Fire Extinguishing Equipment
The National Fire Protection Association has established five classes of fires (A, B, C, D, and K),
based on the material of combustion and the intensity of the fire, which include recommendations
for suitable extinguishing equipment.
Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials such as wood, cloth, paper, rubber, and
many plastics. Extinguishers are identified by a green triangle containing the letter A and may
contain water or suitable chemical agent.
Class B fires involve flammable liquids, oils, greases, tars, oil -based paints, lacquers, and
flammable gases. Extinguishers are identified by a red square containing the letter B and may
contain dry chemicals and carbon dioxide.
Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment (e.g., motors, generators, or appliances).
Because of this, the extinguishing equipment's electrical non -conductivity is important.
N62470-13-D-8025 • WE10. 6480177015 52 MultiMAC JV
Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
Extinguishers are identified by a blue circle containing the letter C. When electrical equipment
is de -energized, extinguishers for Class A or B fires can be used safely.
• Class D fires involve combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium,
lithium, and potassium. Extinguishers are identified by a yellow five -pointed star containing
the letter D and used sodium carbonate, graphite, bicarbonate, sodium chloride, and salt -
based chemicals.
• Class K fires involve combustible cooking media (vegetable, animal oils, or fats) and are
typically associated with cooking appliances.
Because fires may occur despite preventive measures, RAP staff should be equipped with
adequate firefighting equipment. Suitable fire extinguishers must be placed at strategic locations
so that they are readily available. RAP staff should be provided with guidelines on classification,
location, identification, distribution, selection, inspection, and maintenance of the various types of
fire extinguishers. Information covering the ratings and capacities, application, operating
characteristics, maintenance, refilling instructions, freeze protection, and techniques for their use
also should be obtained. These data will both instruct RAP staff in the use of fire extinguishers
and furnish supervisory RAP staff with the information required to correctly select and locate
portable fire extinguishers.
8.8 Bacterial Infection
Extensive risk analysis studies and actual practice has shown that Class A wastewater residuals
are safe for reuse purposes. Health risks associated with the use of Class A wastewater residuals
are extremely low since the high -temperature ATAD process lowers pathogen concentrations to
very low levels. However, because the residuals may contain low concentrations of pathogenic
organisms, RAP staff should observe the following safeguards and preventive measures to
minimize the chance of infection:
• Staff members should always maintain proper hygiene.
• Staff members should never drink from any source other than a water fountain or a water
cooler. All other water should be considered contaminated.
• No cut or scratch should be considered too minor for treatment. A fully stocked first aid kit
should be maintained to treat minor cuts and scratches. Major cuts should receive the
attention of a physician.
• Protective apparel, such as rubberized cotton gloves, rubber boots, or rubber suits, should be
worn in areas such as the truck loading station, pump stations, and transfer sites where staff
members may not be able to avoid contact with residuals.
• Staff members should be immunized for diseases such as typhoid and tetanus at intervals
recommended by a qualified physician.
• Staff members who have come in contact with treated residuals should wash their hands with
hot water and soap, especially before eating, smoking, or using lavatory facilities.
• A first aid kit should be supplied in each tractor truck and application vehicle. Waterless hand
soap should be provided for fieldwork.
8.9 Safety Equipment
This subsection provides general information on personal safety equipment and guidelines.
Safety equipment varies according to the situation and the manufacturer. Applicable instructions
should be reviewed and observed for each type of safety equipment provided by the
manufacturer. Each component of safety equipment should be inspected routinely to ensure
N62470-13-D-8025 • WE10. 6480177015 53 MultiMAC JV
Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
proper operating condition. If defects are noted, the item should be removed from service until
replacement parts have been obtained and installed.
RAP staff should use safety equipment whenever required. Although wearing safety equipment
may be cumbersome and uncomfortable, this discomfort is minor compared to an injury that could
occur if the safety equipment is not worn.
All equipment should have Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) approval for use in hazardous
areas. The following safety equipment items are recommended for use in hazardous situations:
• At least one fire extinguisher for each truck tractor and application vehicle
• Hearing protectors for each staff member working in noisy areas
• Several pairs of chemical goggles and face shields
• One fully equipped first aid kit for each truck tractor and application vehicle
• Overalls, rubber boots, goggles, hardhats, and gloves
8.9.1 Gloves
Many types of gloves are available for hand protection in various situations. Most commonly used
is the leather work glove, which provides protection from sharp or irregularly shaped objects. This
type also helps protect against burns but is not as suitable as gloves specially designed for
handling extremely hot objects. Neoprene gloves can be used to handle oils, greases, and
solvents, in addition to acids and alkalis. A disposable polyethylene glove, designed mainly for
laboratory or very light -duty use, is also available but should not be used in other applications.
Vinyl or neoprene gloves are used to prevent direct contact between hands and residuals. Special
electrical gloves are available for the trained and qualified maintenance electrician.
8.9.2 Safety Glasses and Face Shields
Eye protection devices include special hardened prescription glasses, lightweight plastic glasses,
shatterproof plastic goggles, and shatterproof face shields. The type of eye protection partly
depends on the operation to be performed. Plastic goggles may offer more protection than
glasses or face shields because they cover the entire eye area. Some shatterproof plastic goggles
are also designed so that they can be worn over regular prescription glasses. The face shield,
normally designed so that it also can be worn over regular prescription glasses, also protects the
entire face from splatters.
8.9.3 Rubber Boots
Rubber boots protect feet and ankles from direct contact with residuals. These boots are designed
with nonskid soles to reduce the likelihood of falls on wet or slippery surfaces.
Some rubber boots are also equipped with steel toe plates that provide protection in the event a
heavy object falls on the feet.
8.9.4 Neoprene -Impregnated Clothes
Neoprene -impregnated clothes (rain suits) protect the wearer's skin from direct contact with
residuals. These suits, composed of trousers and a jacket, should be worn whenever entering a
manhole, pump station, or other areas where contact with residuals is probable.

Operations and Maintenance Plan: Residuals Application Program June 2018
MCB CAMLEJ - 2018 Final
8.9.5 Hardhats
Hardhats protect the head from falling objects and can shield the head when accidentally struck
on a fixed object. Hardhats should be worn in all construction areas, in manholes or pump stations,
and wherever an object could be dropped on the head. Fiberglass or plastic hardhats should be
used when cutting trees along roads and trails and when in the vicinity of electrical equipment;
aluminum is conductive and could be the source of a serious shock.
8.10 First Aid Training
Although accident prevention is key to any safety program, such a program is not complete
without first aid training for all RAP staff. At a minimum, RAP staff should receive periodic training
in CPR techniques and handling of life -threatening situations such as uncontrolled bleeding,
traumatic shock, and poisoning.
8.11 Communication Equipment
For redundancy, two forms of communications equipment should be installed in each truck tractor
and application vehicle. Two-way radios that are compatible with those used by other Base
facilities should be installed, as well as cellular telephones (for backup).
8.12 Emergency Telephone Numbers
For medical emergencies that require medical evacuation, procedures listed in Chapter 5 of the
Range Control SOP should be followed. The Range Control Duty Officer (RCDO) should be the
first contact in all medical or fire emergencies. If the RCDO does not respond, contact the Base
Command Staff Duty Officer (CSDO) at 451-2414 to report the emergency. If the RCDO or CSDO
cannot be contacted, contact the Naval Hospital or Base Fire Dispatch directly. Radio call signs
and telephone numbers for the following should be posted inside each vehicle and at each phone
used by the RAP staff:
• RCDO (call sign "BLACKBURN")
• Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune
• Base Fire Dispatch:

Prompt reporting of WWTP staff injuries to proper authorities is essential for an effective safety
program. Accurate accident records are important for insurance claims and for future reference.
When any injury occurs, file the necessary reports with the RPM. Accident report forms currently
used by RAP staff should be used to report injuries.

9.0 SPILL CONTROL AND RESPONSE
This section presents general information on spill control, response and reporting of wastewater
residual spills. Detailed procedures and information is provided in CAMLEJ's Spill Response
Reporting Decision Tree for its wastewater operations which includes the AWWTP and the
wastewater collection system.
9.1 Spill Control
The wastewater residuals are processed at CAMLEJ so that they can be sprayed on the ground
in the designated areas. The areas are not near surface water but may be near conveyance
and/or ditches.
The potential for residual spills may occur during the loading of the tankers trucks at the AWWTP.
The potential for such spills may occur or during the transfer of the residuals from the tanker
trucks to the application vehicles which takes place near the area of application. One to two
operators are present during the transfer operations and can stop the transfer process to minimize
the spill.
9.2 Spill Response
CAMLEJ's Spill Response Reporting Decision Tree has standard operating procedures for
wastewater spills. These procedures include notifying the WWTP operator of the spill, containing
the spill, investigating the spill, and reporting the spill. See Appendix H for the Spill Response
Reporting Decision Tree.
9.3 Spill Recordkeeping and Reporting
A reportable spill is any spill that reaches any already existing water located in a conveyance,
stream, ditch, etc. is considered to have reached surface water. In addition, spills which reach a
conveyance or ditch & cannot be captured or contained are considered to have reached surface
water. Also spills of greater than 1,000 gallons of sewage (wastewater) to the ground are
reportable spills. Reportable quantity spills are documented in spill reports and the ICP.
Per the Spill Response Reporting Decision Tree, a completed record of ALL spills, reportable &
non -reportable, is done generally using the NCDEQ Collection System Sanitary Sewer Overflow
Reporting Form (2015), CS-SSO (attached) or the WWTP Upset, Spill, or Bypass 5-Day
Reporting Form (August 2014). The form is initiated by the EQB ELS Supervisor in conjunction
with the applicable WWCS Supervisor and/or WWTP Supervisor.
Copies will be maintained by the WWTP Collections Supervisor, the EQB ELS Supervisor, and
by means of the Official Document Inventory (ODI), EMD EQB. Records of all spills will be
maintained for a period of three years minimum and will be available for review by the NCDEQ
staff upon their request.

SPILL INVESTIGATION
OVERALL ACTIONS
Once the investigator, Curtis Sallis or designee, arrives at the site after the initial reporting, a determination will be
made if the spill is contained. If the spill is not contained, the investigator will immediately procure personnel and
equipment necessary to contain the spill. Spill containment will include actions necessary to prevent wastewater
from entering surface waters, including rivers, streams and conveyance ditches. Spill containment may include
earthen dams, by-pass pumping, valving, securing lift stations or other actions necessary to secure the wastewater
overflow and contain the spill. Once the spill is contained, the on -site investigator will initiate actions necessary to
make repairs and clean up the spilled wastewater for disposal. All measures should be taken to decontaminate and
neutralize the area, including the removal of solids and the addition of lime or granular chlorine (HTH) as
necessary.
Wastewater spills are classified in two categories: NON -REPORTABLE AND REPORTABLE.
v. 2019 Page 7 of 7
NON -REPORTABLE SPILL
Any spill that is less than 1,000 gallons, confined to the immediate area, and no wastewater has entered or is
suspected of entering any surface water, conveyance, ditch or stream.
REPORTABLE SPILL
Any sewage spill, regardless of volume, that reaches any surface water by any means and/or conveyance including
ditch, stream, path etc. OR any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground must be reported, by means of the
WASTEWATER SPILL NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, Duty or After Duty/Weekends decision trees, as soon as
practical but NO LATER THAN 24 hours after discovery.
Reportable Spill occurring DURING working hours
The on -site investigator will notify Travis Voorhees, EQB Water Quality Program Manager, or designee for
assistance. EQB WQ personnel are located in Bldg 12. EQB WQ will provide the initial verbal notification to NCDEQ
Wilmington Regional Office (WRO) as soon as possible but NO LATER THAN 24 hours after discovery. Only what is
known is reported verbally. NOTE: Do NOT delay notification. If a press release is required, it must be done within
the same 24 hours from discovery. The initial notification is only to relay the discovery of the spill; time of
discovery, location, estimate of volume, etc. not the full details. EQB WQ will notify the EQB Branch Head and the
EMD Director and provide verbal notification to NCDEQ and to COMMSTRAT, if necessary. A detailed written
report is completed by PWD Utilities, reviewed by EQB WQ, and approved by both the EQB Branch Head and EMD
Director, before submitting electronically to NCDEQ.
Reportable Spill occurring AFTER normal working hours
The on -site investigator (WWCS Supervisor or designee) decides if a call to 911 (Fire & Emergency Services
Department) is needed for additional assistance (i.e. road blocks or crowd control) then a call is made as soon as
possible. Every effort will be made to notify the PWD/Utilities Chain of Command and EQB WQ designee prior to
any notification to the NCDEQ.
The WWCS Supervisor or designee notifies the EQB After Hours contact, whomever is available, and they will notify
the NCDENR After Hours Emergency Number (1-800-858-0368) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours after
discovery. NOTE: Do NOT delay notification. If a press release is required, it must be done within the same 24
hours from discovery. This initial notification should only relay the known facts at the time: time of discovery,
location, estimate of volume, etc. not the full details. The best information available is conveyed to COMMSTRAT
for a press release, if necessary. A detailed written report is completed by PWD Utilities the next working day,
reviewed by EQB WQ, and approved by both the EQB Branch Head and EMD Director, before submitting
electronically to NCDEQ.
