This assumes an aerobic solids concentration of 2.5 percent solids. For more detailed information on results of various types of dewatering systems, see Chapter 9. 6.3.4 Process Performance 6.3.4.1 Total Volatile Solids Reduction Solids destruction has been shown to be primarily a direct function of both basin liquid temperature and the length of time during which the sludge was in the digester. Figure 6-42 is a plot of volatile solids reduction versus the parameter degree-days. Data were taken from both pilot and full-scale studies on several types of municipal wastewater sludges. Figure 6-42 indicates that, for these sludges, volatile solids reductions of 40 to 50 percent are obtainable under normal aeration conditions. cn 60 z O_ F- U 50 O w x _0 4-0 J 30 LU J H Q 20 O F- Z 10 w U X a 0 rr • • X — PILOT PLANT REF (188) ■ — FULL SCALE REF (184) O — PILOT SCALE REF (178) o — FULL SCALE REF (185) + — PILOT PLANT REF (208) ♦ — PILOT PLANT REF (211) O — PILOT PLANT REF (192) • — FULL SCALE REF (196) TEMPERATURE OC x SLUDGE AGE, days FIGURE 6-42 ?'c X f,6O(AIS 02�� VOLATILE SOLIDS REDUCTION AS A FUNCTION OF DIGESTER UQU1D TEMPERATURE AND DIGESTER SLUDGE AGE 6-92 W,m 01 Q W cn Ax 0 w cr DESIGN CALCULATIONS pEIgSON WHITMAN ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS.

SIC Code(s): 4952 Wastewater Code(s): Primary: 01 Secondary: Main Treatment Unit Code: 05007 PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS This facility is currently under an SOC as a result of elevated cadmium levels in the effluent and sludge. The cadmium most likely originated from effluent from Southern Fasteners which is no longer in business. The cadmium probably became entrained in the sludge and adsorbed in the clay liners in the aeration basins and digester. The cadmium is then believed to have leached from these sources. Therefore, relining the basins with concrete should alleviate the elevated cadmium levels. However, the relining of subject aeration basin is not included as a stipulation in the current SOC. Compliance with the final effluent cadmium limits was to occur October 31, 1995. basin. project.

The City agrees that unless excused under paragraph 4, the City will pay the Director of DEM, by check payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, stipulated penalties according to the following schedule for failure to meet the deadlines set out in paragraphs 2(b) and 2(e), or failure to attain compliance with the effluent limitations/monitoring requirements contained in Attachment A, except as provided for in paragraph 2(c) above. Failure to meet a schedule date Failure to maintain compliance with any modified limit contained in the SOC. Failure to achieve compliance with final effluent limits by October 31, 1995 $100/day for the first 7 days; $500/day thereafter $ 1 000/violation Single monetary penalty of $5,000 Monitoring frequency violations Failure to submit progress reports $100 per omitted value per parameter $50/day for the first 7 days; $250/day thereafter 4. The City and the Commission agree that the stipulated penalties are not due if the City satisfies the DEM that noncompliance was caused solely by: a. An act of God; b. An act of war; C. An intentional act or omission of a third party; but this defense shall not be available if the act or omission is that of an employee or agent of the defendant or if the act or omission occurs in connection with a contractual relationship with the permittee; d. An extraordinary event beyond the permittee's control. Contractor delays or failure to obtain funding will not be considered as events beyond the permittee's control; or e. Any combination of the above causes. Failure within 30 days of receipt of written demand to pay the penalties, or challenge them by a contested case petition pursuant to G.S. 150B-23, will be grounds for a collection action, which the Attorney General is hereby authorized to initiate. The only issue in such an action will be whether the 30 days have elapsed. 5. In accordance with the provisions of G.S. 143-215.67(b) the Commission allows the City to accept the additional waste specified below to its waste disposal system: 190,000 gpd of additional wastewater. The nature of the additional flows is such that the waste characteristics do not exceed those generally associated with domestic waste or are pretreated to domestic strengths. Waste of greater than normal domestic strength may be accepted if the parameter(s) that exceed normal domestic strength are not those for which interim limitations have been developed, and it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Director that the additional waste will not adversely affect the treatment efficiency of the treatment system for any modified parameter or result in the violation of any other permit limitation. All new and proposed industrial waste tributary to the system must be controlled using all needed mechanisms including, but not limited to, adoption and implementation of industrial waste control and pretreatment ordinances. No wastewater can be accepted which will add toxic pollutants in quantities not generally associated with domestic wastewater characteristics, unless the acceptance of the additional wastewater can be supported through appropriate analyses acceptable to the Director. 6. This Special Order by Consent and any terms, conditions and interim effluent limitations contained herein, hereby supersede any and all previous Special Orders and Enforcement Compliance Schedule Letters, and terms, conditions, and limitations contained therein issued in connection with NPDES Permit No. NC0020591. In the event of an NPDES Permit modification or renewal, any effluent limitations or monitoring requirements contained therein shall supersede those contained in Attachment A of this Special Order by Consent, except as modified and contained in paragraph 2(d) above. 7. Any violation of terms of this Special Order by Consent, including paragraph 2(b) and Vie) above and Attachment A except as provided for in paragraph 2(c) above shall terminate paragraph 5 of this Order and any authorized additional waste not previously connected to the system shall not thereafter be connected until the necessary sewerage system improvements have been completed and placed in operation. 8. Noncompliance with the terms of this Special Order by Consent is subject to enforcement action in addition to the above stipulated penalties, including injunctive relief pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6C. 9. The permittee, upon signature of the Special Order by Consent, will be expected to comply with all schedule dates, terms, and conditions of this document. 10.

ATTACHMENT B CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in: 1. The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September, 1989, or subsequent versions). The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 39 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with Special Order by Consent condition. The specified test months are January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this Special Order by Consent condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this Special Order by Consent may be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. ATTACH IEMENT C ANNUAL POLLUTANT ANALYSIS MONITORING (APAM) REQUIREMENT The permittee shall conduct a test for priority pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1. A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a) purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables; (d) organochlorine pesticides and PCB's; (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The Annual Pollutant Analysis (APA) Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A, to be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement, describes the sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the pollutant analysis. This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant Analysis" (APA). 2. Other significant levels of synthetic organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified. For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GUMS peaks in each organic chemical analytic fraction (or fewer than 10, if less than 10 unidentified peaks) that occur for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Monitoring Requirement Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APA Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APA monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "10 significant peaks rule".
