The two settled sludges are gravity thickened in primary and secondary gravity sludge thickeners. The gravity thickened sludges are pumped to an aerated sludge holding tank. The sludge is then dewatered with a 1.5 meter belt press. The dewatered sludge is blended with lime kiln dust to achieve the required vector attraction reduction requirements and is heat pasteurized to 158 degrees Fahrenheit or greater for pathogen reduction requirements. The lime stabilization and heat pasteurization equipment used is RDP technologies thermoblender and 30 minute detention time pasteurization vessel. Listed below are facts about The Town of Waynesville Wastewater Treatment Blend Processing and Distribution: • All biosolids produced are stored under a covered shed onsite. The biosolid product is distributed to the public free of charge. • The residuals are produced and treated at the same location. • All residuals are stored and processed onsite at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. • All leachate collected is returned to plant influent. • Detention time from aerated sludge holding tank through the belt press lime sludge blender and pasteurization vessel to discharge through the conveyor is approximately one hour. Occasionally more time is used to turn the processed residuals in the storage shed to produce a more workable product and decrease percent moisture. • All final products are stored onsite under a covered shed. • The final product is stored for approximately 3 — 6 months depending on the season. During spring and fall, the product is in demand more than summer and winter. • The final product is given away in bulk to the local farmers and utilized as a soil amendment for the nutrient content in the biosolids. Each year, approximately 800 — 1,100 dry tons per year are produced and distributed. The destination of final product has been to local farmers and local commercial lime spreaders. All recipients' names are kept on file at the treatment plant.

MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS SECTION L DESCRIPTION OF BIOSOLIDS PROGRAM The Town of Waynesville Biosolids Program operates under Permit No. WQ0013116 as issued by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. After primary and secondary sludge is processed through the sludge thickeners and the aerated sludge holding tank, the sludge is fed to a 1.5 meter belt filter press at approximately 2.0% to 2.5% solids. The belt filter press typically dewaters the sludge to a solids content range of approximately 19% to 21%. The dewatered sludge from the belt press is discharged into an enclosed screw auger to be transported for treatment. The dewatered sludge enters an electrically heated insulated blender where either quicklime and/or lime kiln dust (LKD) is added by a volumetric feeder at a controlled rate and thoroughly mixed with the sludge. After leaving the insulated blender, the lime/sludge mixture enters a pasteurization vessel where supplemental electric heat is added to maintain the temperature of the sludge at 158°F (70°C) for thirty minutes to meet the pathogen reduction requirements of 40 CFR Part 503. Temperature probes monitor the sludge temperature, and the speed of the conveyor is designed so that the product remains in the vessel for the full thirty minutes to achieve pasteurization. The vector attraction reduction requirements of 40 CFR Part 503 are met by adding sufficient quicklime or LKD to raise the pH of the sludge to at least 12, maintain the pH at 12 for two hours and then at 11.5 for an additional 22 hours. After the product leaves the pasteurization vessel it is discharged into a truck and transported to the adjacent covered storage area. The Town distributes the final product to lime spreading companies, farmers, and the general public. See drawing schematics in the appendix of this O&M Plan for additional details. > / LL d = o \ \/ e 3 U y« LLI e = c/ ? % %'z ±)2 \ o/ Fg§ 9 © \�< 6 \/a §E 0 i ± / N q \ o« j 4 U d CO / O � � O { 2 «\ \/ \ \s \ °° we �� ey ® I< g �< o«o J= ®o G �§ ƒ/\ \ /%E )%QC) \ / \\.<\ b\� ( \ f / �B /)moo \ « » [ z \ _ / Fn _ _ - 6/ / \ p7 0 9 eG e \ z w / y \ 'sy G oc G /-C / / / © -u - d y g % 2 d / j s / % 2 _ ( d u % / xc 4� y e §\ e\ ® / / ; / ƒ / / � � SECTION II.

SAMPLING AND MONITORING Sampling and monitoring of the biosolids shall be in accordance with the NCDENR Permit issued for the facility. A copy of the Monitoring and Reporting Requirements from the permit are provided in the Appendix. The lime/sludge mixture enters a pasteurization vessel where supplemental electric heat is added to maintain the temperature of the sludge at 158°F (70°C) for thirty minutes to meet the pathogen reduction requirements of 40 CFR Part 503. Temperature probes monitor the sludge temperature, and the speed of the conveyor is designed so that the product remains in the vessel for the full thirty minutes to achieve pasteurization. The vector attraction reduction requirements of 40 CFR Part 503 are met by adding sufficient quicklime or LKD to raise the pH of the sludge to at least 12, maintain the pH at 12 for two hours and then at 11.5 for an additional 22 hours. Town operation and maintenance staff shall take samples and perform testing to confirm these conditions for pathogen and vector attraction are met, and shall record all sampling and test results in the log book in the Wastewater Treatment Plant laboratory. Residuals generated shall be analyzed to demonstrate that they are non -hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at the frequency specified in the NCDENR permit. The results shall be maintained on file at the Town of Waynesville for a minimum of five (5) years as required by the permit. A corrosivity, ignitability, and reactivity analysis, as well as a Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis shall be conducted on residuals generated. The frequency of testing is dependent upon the amount of product that is land applied on an annual basis. Refer to the tables in the permit and provided in the Appendix. APPENDIX C MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS i4. If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e,g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than SO pounds per acre per year. This practice shall be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested. if the second crop is to be planted for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be land applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be retumed to the soil. Prior to application of PAN to permitted sites at rates exceeding the agronomic rate, the Permittee must submit and receive approval by the Division 15. Should any of the residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facilities listed in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit contain a high salt content (i.e., high sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of five (5) or higher), the exchan;cable sodium percentage (ESP) or other method as approved by the Division, using the results from the annual soils analysis as required by this permit, shall be monitored on all of the land application sites. The local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, a North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist, or other agronomist shall review the results and make recommendations regarding soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.) or other ameliorative mechanism for maintaining the itltegt-ity of the site in terms of suitability for land application of residuals and rnaintainirtg conditions conducive to crop growth. The Permittee shall irnpleruent such recomriiendations accordingly and shall maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered and rate of soil amendment application. M. MONITORING AND REPORTLNG REQ UIREMENTS Any monitoring (including groundwater, surface water, residuals, soil, or plant tissue analyses) deemed necessary by the Division to insure protection of the environment will be established and an acceptable sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed. Residuals generated by each approved residuals source -generating facility shall be analyzed to demonstrate that they are non -hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit, and the results shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of five years. A corrosivity, ignitability, and reactivity analysis as well as a Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis shall be conducted on residuals generated by each approved residuals source -generating facility.

The two settled sludges are gravity thickened in primary and secondary gravity sludge thickeners. The gravity thickened sludges are pumped to an aerated sludge holding tank. The sludge is then dewatered with a 1.5 meter belt press. The dewatered sludge is blended with lime kiln dust to achieve the required vector attraction reduction requirements and is heat pasteurized to 158 degrees Fahrenheit or greater for pathogen reduction requirements. The lime stabilization and heat pasteurization equipment used is RDP technologies thermoblender and 30 minute detention time pasteurization vessel. Listed below are facts about The Town of Waynesville Wastewater Treatment Blend Processing and Distribution: • All biosolids produced are stored under a covered shed onsite. The biosolid product is distributed to the public free of charge. • The residuals are produced and treated at the same location. • All residuals are stored and processed onsite at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. • All leachate collected is returned to plant influent. • Detention time from aerated sludge holding tank through the belt press lime sludge blender and pasteurization vessel to discharge through the conveyor is approximately one hour. Occasionally more time is used to turn the processed residuals in the storage shed to produce a more workable product and decrease percent moisture. • All final products are stored onsite under a covered shed. • The final product is stored for approximately 3 — 6 months depending on the season. During spring and fall, the product is in demand more than summer and winter. • The final product is given away in bulk to the local farmers and utilized as a soil amendment for the nutrient content in the biosolids. Each year, approximately 800 — 1,100 dry tons per year are produced and distributed. The destination of final product has been to local farmers and local commercial lime spreaders. All recipients' names are kept on file at the treatment plant.
