Program Information
All of the residuals produced from the City of Marion's Water Treatment plant are stored
in the two (2), two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) gallon sludge storage ponds. The residuals
are produced from the treatment of raw water from the Clear Creek, Mackey Creek, and Buck
Creek.
The first location during the treatment that the residuals are produced is from the
sedimentation basins, from where the residuals are allowed to settle out. The return water left in
the sedimentation basin is pumped to the sludge holding ponds.
The second place in the treatment process that produced residuals are from the filtration.
The filters are backwashed and the residuals from the backwash process are sent to the sludge
holding ponds. Also residuals are sent to the ponds when a filter is rewashed during plant start-
up.
Once the residuals reach the sludge holding ponds, they are stored until the ponds are full
enough to need a distribution event. Once it is determined that a distribution event is needed, the
residuals are removed using a dredge and loaded onto tanker trucks for transport to local land
owner's. The residuals are given to local landowner's for use as a soil amendment.
All of the residual are stored in the sludge holding ponds along with any leachate or run
off the may be present.
All land owners that receive the residuals are given an information sheet that will
explain all of the requirements and regulations for the material. This information sheet will also
highlight any nutrients that will be the limiting parameter for determining the residuals loading
rate. In most cases, the limiting parameter for determining the loading rate will be nitrogen.

Marketability Statement:
The product will be given to local landowners who desire the material as a soil
amendment. The amount of residuals to be land applied per year is approximately 25 dry tons.
These residuals can be beneficial to soils and plants and the improved soil physical properties are
the results of the addition of organic matter and plant nutrients. Destinations for these residuals
are local landowners and farmers that have sufficient amount of land to handle a bulk
distribution of the alum residuals; a field or combination of fields of around 25 acres are desired.

Operation and Maintenance Plan.
The Class A distribution program from the City of Marion Water Treatment Plant
will be conducted from the Water Treatment facility, located at 801 Old Greenlee Road
Marion, NC. Residuals will be removed and given away to local farmers to be used as a
soil amendment. The residuals will be removed on as needed bases as fluctuation in the
output of the plant will vary with changing economic conditions. The day -today
operation of the running of the Water Treatment will be conducted by the City of Marion.
The operations of the distribution program will be conducted by U,S Biosolids, Inc.
A label shall be provided to every recipient of the residual material, in addition to this
label, the ORC will make sure every recipient is educated in the proper use of the
residuals.
Prior to distributing these residuals to local farmers, the following sampling conditions
must be met (as is outlined in greater detail in the sampling plan attached to this
Operation and Maintenance Plan).
Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) will be conducted once per
permit cycle.
An analysis of the parameters will be conducted annually if a distribution event
takes place.
These samples will be collected by the ORC or his/her designee and transported to an
approved lab the same day the samples are taken, as in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B
.0505. The samples must be taken in a matter to ensure a representative sample of the
residuals has been taken.
To prevent any spills and or safety issues from occurring the flowing will take place
during a distribution event. In the unlikely event of a spill consult the spill control plan
immediately.

To prevent any spills and or safety issues from occurring the flowing will take place
during a distribution event. In the unlikely event of a spill consult the spill control plan
immediately.
1. Access to the facility will be controlled with a locked gate and signs to
prevent any unauthorized entry into the complex; this gate will be lock at the
end of each day.
2. All pumps and hose will be checked at the start of each day for leaks or loose
fittings.
3. All tanker valves are closed prior to loading and lids are closed prior to
transport.
4. All dump trailers or dump trucks gates are tightly fastened and do not leak
prior to transport.

CITY OF MARION
WTP SAMPLING PLAN
Annually, if a distribution event occurs, grab samples are collected from
the two residual ponds. Samples from the ponds will be combined to form individual grab
samples to be sent to a laboratory for analysis. If a distribution event is to occur in the
early part of a calendar year (i.e. January or early February) these samples may have to be
taken in December so results can be obtained before the land application event, as some
results take 30+ days to receive.
These individual grab samples are collected and tested for fecal coliform analysis,
nutrient analysis, and a TCLP test. These tests will be taken by Zach Key of U.S.
Biosolids, Inc. All samples with the exception of the composite residual sample will be
taken to Statesville Analytical, the composite residual sample will be sent to Waypoint
Analytical. All samples taken will be taken in the same condition as the residuals are to
be land applied.
Annually, if land application occurs, a composite residual sample will be
analyzed, prior to a land application event for:
Cadmium, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Selenium, Zinc,
Aluminum, Ammonia Nitrogen, Calcium, Nitrate Nitrogen, Magnesium, % total Solids,
pH, Phosphorus, Potassium, TKN, Sodium
From this information, the Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) and a Sodium
Absorption Ratio (SAR) will be calculated. This sample will collected in a non -breakable
container, at least one quart in size. This sample will be taken from the clarifier.
A Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test with ignitability,
reactivity, and corrosivity will be collected in two separate, one gallon jugs. This test will
be conducted on a frequency as outlined in the permit.

SECTION 2 EXISTING WATER EACILITIES
2.1, Overview
The City of Marion owns and operates its own water treatment and distribution system under
Public Water System ID No. 01-56-010. Raw water is drawn from three (3) local tributaries of
the Catawba River, two (2) by gravity flow and one (1) by pumping, which is then treated at the
City's single water treatment plant before being pumped into the distribution system and two
(2) large ground -level storage tanks. The water treatment plant (WTP) is designed to treat 4.0
million gallons per day (MGD) and has total clearwell storage of 1.2 million gallons (MG)
provided by the original 0.2 MG circular tank and a 1.0 MG rectangular basin constructed in the
1980s. The 85-foot diameter finished water storage tanks are located side -by -side on Summit
Street and have capacities of 2.0 MG each, for a total treated water storage volume of 5.2 MG.
The water distribution system operates in a single pressure zone controlled by the Summit
Street tanks, which typically operate within a 5-foot water level elevation range. Levels in the
tanks start at approximately 1,641 feet above mean sea level in the mornings prior to startup of
the WTP, operate between roughly 1,642 and 1,644 during the day, and are pumped up to
1,646 feet at the end of each day before the WTP is shut down for the night.
2.2. Water Supply
The City of Marion collects its entire raw water supply from three area streams: Clear Creek,
Mackey Creek, and Buck Creek. The majority of each watershed Is located in the Pisgah
National Forest northwest of Marion. General locations of the raw water intakes are shown in
Figure 2-1 on the following page.
McGill Associates, P.A. City of Marion
Revised December 2013 2 Water System Map and Hydraulic Model

2.3. Water Treatment
The City's water treatment plant is located on Old Greenlee Road (SR 1214), just west of the
City limits. The facility was originally constructed in 1955, and expanded in 1985. The rated
treatment capacity of the plant is 4.0 MGD. Treatment involves conventional treatment
processes consisting of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and chlorination.
Sludge lagoons were constructed in 1987 and a back-up generator was installed in 1988. The
treated water pumps also have a combined capacity of 4.0 MGD. The plant has undergone only
a few minor upgrades over the past 10 years. See Figure 2-2, below.

Quantitative Justification of Residuals Production Rate
The City of Marion produces an average of 30 Dry Tons per year of residuals through the
treatment of potable water. The currently permitted amount of 300 dry tons should allow for any
growth in the water system and any unforeseen increases in the amount of residuals that the
Water Treatment plant is producing.

CITY OF MARION
WTP SAMPLING PLAN
Annually, if a distribution event occurs, grab samples are collected from the two residual ponds.
Samples from the ponds will be combined to form individual grab samples to be sent to a laboratory for
analysis. If a distribution event is to occur in the early part of a calendar year (i.e., January or early
February) these samples may have to be taken in December so results can be obtained before the land
application event, as some results take 30+ days to receive.
These individual grab samples are collected and tested for fecal coliform analysis, nutrient
analysis, and a TCLP test. These tests will be taken by Zach Key of Southern Soil Builders, Inc. All samples
apart from the composite residual sample will be taken to Statesville Analytical, the composite residual
sample will be sent to Waypoint Analytical. All samples taken will be taken in the same condition as the
residuals are to be land applied.
Annually, if land application occurs, a composite residual sample will be analyzed, prior to a land
application event for:
Cadmium, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Selenium, Zinc, Aluminum, Ammonia
Nitrogen, Calcium, Nitrate Nitrogen, Magnesium, %total Solids, pH, Phosphorus, Potassium, TKN,
Sodium
From this information, the Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) and a Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR)
will be calculated. This sample will be collected in a non -breakable container, at least one quart in size.
This sample will be taken from the clarifier.
A Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test with ignitability, reactivity, and
corrosivity will be collected in two separate, one gallon jugs. This test will be conducted on a frequency
as outlined in the permit.
