City of Marion,
Distribution of Class A Wastewater Residuals
McDowell County
Dear Mr. 'Clark: _
I'
The Non Discharge Compliance / Enforcement Unit has completed a preliminary review of the submitted
1999 Annual Report of land application activities for the subject facility. The following violations have been
noted:
• -Permit Condition III. 5.xequires that all, residuals included in this permit must be monitored quarterly,
from the date of permit issuance, for compliance with condition I. 7. of this permit. Data to verify
stabilization of the residuals must be maintained by the Permittee. The required data is specific to the
stabilization process utilized, but should be sufficient to clearly demonstrate compliance with the Class
A pathogen requirements in 40 CFR Part 503.32(a) and the vector attraction reduction requirements in
40 CFR Part 503.33. Permit Condition III. 6. requires that the records of these stabilization events be
included in the annual report. The submitted data show that the City of Marion has failed to meet the
minimum temperature requirements for the March 10, 12, 16, 19,, 22, 23, and 26, 1999 stabilization
events. Additionally, the submitted data show that the City of Marion has failed to meet the minimum
temperature requirements for the April 7 and 8, 1999 stabilization events. The City of Marion must
ensure that every particle meets the minimum stabilization pH and temperature requirements as outlined
in 40 CFR 503.32 and 33. Any residual particle, which has not met the minimum time/pH/temp
requirement, must be reprocessed to ensure compliance.
Please- reference the state issued Permit Number when providing any supporting information. I All
information should be signed and submitted in triplicate to the attention of Brian Wrenn at the letterhead
address. The information required by the state issued permit, number WQ0008681, must be submitted within

RE: City of Marion
Distribution of Class A Residual
Permit No.: WQ0008681
Dear Mr. Wrenn:
-I FEB 1 9 2001
PON
Ell
This correspondence is in reply to the Notice of Violation and
Recommendation for Enforcement sent to the City dated January 12, 2000.
The Notice was in reference to the 1999 Annual Sludge report and indicated
that the Class "A" biosolids did not comply with -the minimum temperature
requirement as specified by 40 CFR 503.33.
The City of Marion uses a RDP lime pasteurization unit to produce Class
"A" biosolids. The unit is designed to heat the biosolids to a temperature of.
210 degrees fahrenheit with the use of electrical and chemical energy. In
addition, lime is added to the biosolids to increase the pH level. The initial
start-up of the pasteurization unit requires a preheating period. There are
three zones in the pasteurization unit that must be heated to the. appropriate
temperature. The pasteurization process begins by taking the sludge .from the
vacuum filters and mixing it with lime to reduce the moisture content and
initiate the chemical heating process. The limed sludge is placed onto the
conveyor belt with a front-end loader. As the sludge goes through the
pasteurization unit, more lime is added and the unit begins its heating
process. Subsequently, electrical energy supplements the heating process to,
achieve the pasteurization criteria. Sludge is passed through the unit and
captured in a dump truck until all three zones are heated to a temperature of
over 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the pasteurization unit reaches a
temperature greater than 160 degrees Fahrenheit the dump truck is moved
OFFICE OF THE
CITY MANAGER

and the sludge is stockpiled on a pad. The sludge that was captured in the
dump truck is recycled through the pasteurization unit.
The minimum temperatures noted in the Notice represent the temperature of
the pasteurization unit during the start-up phase. The sludge that passed
through the pasteurization unit when the temperatures were below 70
degrees celsius was recycled back through the pasteurization unit. Therefore,
all of the sludge is processed in a manner that meets 40CFR 503.33.
Processed sludge is not designated as pasteurized until it meets the
temperature requirement of greater than 160 degrees fahrenheit or 70
degrees celsius.
I have attached for your review pictures of the pasteurization unit and the
standard operating procedures. I hope this information provides sufficient
explanation to relive the City of any enforcement actions. If you have any
questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to give me
a call.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
. Robert Boyette

PROCESS DESCRIPTION 1
Dewatered sludge cake and quicklime are mixed
in an RDP ThermoBlender prior to being fed into
the Envessel Pasteurization Reactor. Supplemental
heat is added to the vessel to insure the mixture
maintains a temperature of 158°F/70°C for a
period. of 30 minutes. The Reactor is insulated
and jacketed to retain the heat. The discharge
rate/retention time is controlled by the volumetric
screw feeder which is used to unload the Reactor.
The RDP Pasteurization Process provides a simple
cost effective method of producing a PFRP quality
product. The total capital and operating cost for a
specific application is available upon request.

RDP EN VESSEL PASTEQRIZATIONTM
PROCESS DESCRIPTION
RDP Company provides complete sludge lime mixing systems which produce a
product that exceeds the requirements of PFRP (Process to Further Reduce
Pathogens). The Environmental Protection Agency states that pasteurized
sludge must be maintained at a temperature of at least 700 C for a period of
30 minutes. A copy of the EPA letter on the RDP Pasteurization process is
included at the end of this section of the paper.
The Pasteurization process is a two step process. The first step is to mix
dewatered sludge cake with lime in a RDP ThermoBlender. This mixer is specif-
ically designed to maximize the efficiency of the sludge lime reaction and to
minimize the lime consumption. The second step involves maintaining the
temperature of the sludge lime mixture at 700 C for a period of 30 minutes.,,
The sludge lime mixture is placed into a steel vessel which is insulated to
retain the heat. Supplemental heat is also available to insure that the
temperature is maintained for the 30 minutes.
The mixture of sludge and quicklime is an exothermic reaction. When suffi-,
cient lime is added to the sludge temperatures in excess of 700 C are rela-
tively easily maintained. The reactor vessel must simply efficiently maintain
this heat to reduce the lime consumption. The actual lime consumption for a
particular sludge is determined through laboratory or pilot scale testing of a
representative sample.
The RDP En -Vessel Pasteurization ProcessTM provides a simple cost effective
method of producing a PFRP quality product. The system is totally.enclosed,
and thereby minimizes odors while providing a neat, clean and mechanically
simple system.

a method of achieving,PFRP treatment under 40 CFR Part 257.
According to your process description, sludge dewatered to 10$ to
40% solids is mixed continuously with lime until a pH of 12 or '
higher is achieved. The sludge/lime mixture is added to the top
of a pasteurization vessel. Heat produced from the hydration of
Ca(OH)2 elevates the temperature of the sludge to 70'C.
Supplemental heat is available from an external source if the
temperature does not achieve the required level. The mixture
emerges from the bottom of the pasteurization vessel at least 3,0
minutes later and is held a minimum of 1.5 additional hours at
pH 12. The pasteurized product is then stockpiled or loaded onto
trucks for disposal.
After conferring with Dr. Albert D. Venosa, Chairman of
EPA's Pathogen Equivalency Committee, I agree that -the process 'as
you describe meets the requirements for PFRP as contained in
Sections A and B of Appendix II in 40 CFR Part 257 as long as you
also meet the conditions of the following caveat: to prevent
regrowth of pathogenic microorganisms, the treated sludge must be
maintained at pH 12 until land applied. The information
contained in your letter is sufficient for us to arrive at the
above conclusion, and there is thus no need to obtain official
approval from the Pathogen Equivalency Committee.
As always, conclusions and judgments of Dr. Venosa, the PEC,
or me are only advisory in nature. The ultimate decision on
placing requirements in permits for sludge use or disposal
practices rest with the particular permit writer, who may
consider not only the conclusions of this letter but other
relevant information available.

City of Marion
Distribution of Class A Wastewater Residuals
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Clark:.
The Non Discharge Compliance / Enforcement Unit has completed a preliminary review of the submitted
1999 Annual Report of land application activities for the subject facility. The following violations have been
noted:
_Permit Condition III. 5. requires that all residuals included in this permit must- be monitored quarterly,
from the date of permit issuance, for compliance with condition I. 7. of this permit. Data to verify
stabilization of the residuals must be maintained by the Permittee. The required data is specific to the
stabilization process utilized, but should be sufficient to clearly demonstrate compliance with the Class
A pathogen requirements in 40 CFR Part 503.32(a) and the vector attraction reduction requirements in
40 CFR Part 503.33. Permit Condition III. 6. requires that the records of these stabilization events be
included in the annual report. The submitted data show that the City of Marion has failed to meet the
minimum temperature requirements for the March 10, 12, 16, 19, 22, 23, and 26, 1999 stabilization .
events. Additionally, the submitted data show that the City of Marion has failed to meet the minimum
temperature requirements for the April 7 and 8, 1999 stabilization events. The City of Marion must
ensure that every particle meets the minimum stabilization pH and temperature requirements as outlined
in 40 CFR 503.32 and 33. Any residual particle, which has not met the minimum time/pH/temp
requirement, must be reprocessed to ensure compliance.
Please- reference the state issued Permit Number when providing any supporting information.. All
information should be signed and submitted in triplicate to the attention of Brian Wrenn at the letterhead
address. The information required by the state issued permit, number WQ0008681, must be submitted within
15 days of receipt of this letter.

Dear A.EVERETTE CLARK,MAY,
The purpose of this letter is a reminder that the monitoring reports required by the subject permit must be submitted as
an Annual Report for calendar year 2000 by no later than March 1, 2001. The report must be submitted (in triplicate)
to the following address:
DENR/DWQ/Water Quality Section

Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1617
Due to limitations in storage space, please submit the reports in bound form rather than in notebook form. Permittees
are subject to,civil penalty for failing to submit the Annual Report as required by their permit.
Enclosed are the summary and certification sheets -that must be used for your annual report. Please complete these sheets
and if necessary make copies of the blank forms if extras are needed. The forms have not changed since last year, so you
may use those you already have on hand.
You will however note that the forms include additional information required_ by EPA as outlined in 40 CFR Part 503.
Since the requirements of 40 CFR Part 503 are self implementing, they are legally binding and enforceable Federal
requirements for all persons subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 503, even if these requirements are not currently
contained in the State permit. The annual reports for the EPA must be received by EPA at the following address on or
before Febuary 19, 2001.

Non -Discharge Permitting
RE: Application for Permit Renewal
Distribution of Residual Solids
City of Marion
McDowell County, North Carolina
Enclosed please find the permit renewal application for the City of Marion's Distribution of Residual
Solids permit. I have enclosed the permit application fonn, a copy of the Sludge Management Plan, and a copy
of recent sampling analysis.
The sludge is lime pasteurized at the wastewater treatment plant and is stored in gravity thickeners or,
after dewatering, on a 50 cubic yard covered concrete pad prior to pasteurization. All leachate is piped back to
the plant headworks. The final product is stored on a 100 cubic yard covered pad and is bulk distributed to local
farmers, nursery operators, and homeowners.
Please advise me if you need any additional information to assist you in your review of this matter. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 828-252-0575.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A. PURPOSE
The City of Marion is proposing to construct facilities for the lime pasteurization of
wastewater sludge from the Corpening Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. This
pasteurization process is a two step process which results in a Class A biosolid
material. The first step is to mix dewatered sludge cake with lime in a larger
mechanical blender. This mixer is specifically designed to maximize the efficiency ;of
the sludge lime reaction and to minimize lime consumption. During this stage, the pH ,
of the sludge lime mixture is elevated to 12. The second step involves maintaining
the temperature of the sludge lime mixture at 70 degrees C (158 degrees F) for a
period of 30 minutes pursuant to 503 regulations for a Class A material. The sludge
lime mixture is placed into a steel vessel which is insulated to retain the heat.
Supplemental heat is also available to insure that the temperature is maintained for the
30 minutes. Upon completion of the pasteurization process, the compost will be sold
to local farmers, nurserymen and landowners for use as a soil amendment or soil pH
adjustment additive.
Peg* 1

B. LIME PASTEURIZATION FACILITIES
The City of Marion proposes to construct proprietary lime pasteurization facilities
manufactured by RDP company at the City's primary wastewater treatment plant on
Corpening Creek. Sludge will continue to be dewatered by the City's existing belt
filter press to a consistency of 15 % solids.
Once the sludge is dewatered, it will be mixed in a large mixer with quicklime (CAO). ,
Upon complete mixing, the sludge lime mixture is held in an insulated steel -tank at a
pH of 12 and 70 degrees C (158 degrees F), which completely pasteurizes the sludge
and thus meets Class A requirements for pasteurization.
The facility is capable of producing 1.5 tons of biosolids per hour, and includes all the
necessary appurtenances such as a lime silo and control building, live bottom bin,
blender and pasteurization vessel.

C. MARKETING
Lime stabilized biosolids from the Corpening Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant will
be attractive to several markets including large farming businesses and the private
sector.
Several large farming businesses are located in the McDowell County area. These
operations plan to use the lime pasteurized biosolids as a soil pH enhancer, and'also
to benefit from the organic and nutritional value of the biosolids. The lime pasteurized
biosolids also have the ability to improve the physical properties of soil.
In the private sector several individuals have expressed an interest in using the lime
pasteurized biosolids as a soil pH enhancer and low-grade fertilizer for lawn and
landscape improvements.
The biosolids would also be used by the City as a soil conditioner for landscaping
around the City as well as fill material for soil rehabilitation projects around the City.

THE LIME PASTEURIZATION PROCESS
The method of lime pasteurization used at the City of Marion Corpening Creek
Wastewater Treatment Facility is a proprietary process marketed by the RDP company
called Envessel Pasteurization. Wastewater sludge is dewatered to 12-15 % solids and
then mixed with quicklime in a large mixer. During this process, the pH of the sludge
lime mixture is elevated to 12. Since the mixing process is exothermic, temperatures
in excess of 70 degrees C (158 degrees F) can be readily achieved.
The sludge lime mixture is then passed from the mixing vessel to an insulated steel
vessel- where the temperature can. be maintained at 70 degrees C 0 58 degrees F).
This vessel also has an external heat source to ensure the temperature does not drop
below 70 degrees C (158 degrees F) for a 30 minute period.
The combination of elevated pH (pH = 12) and elevated temperature (70 degrees C
for 30 minutes) classifies the lime pasteurized biosolids as a Class A product by the
EPA 503 regulations. The final product has value as a soil pH conditioner and as a
yow grade fertilizer. When used according to the recommendations in this brochure,
this product may be used as a soil pH amendment for farmers, landscapers and
gardeners.
The lime pasteurization method of producing biosolids is approved by the EPA as an
effective method of sludge stabilization and pathogen reduction and results in an
environmentally safe product with multiple beneficial uses.

GENERAL USES, PROPERTIES, AND PRECAUTIONS
Lime pasteurized biosolids can be utilized advantageously by the local, large scale
farmer as a soil pH enhancer and low-grade fertilizer. It can also be used 'by
individuals wishing to enhance the pH of their lawns and gardens or any other area
that may need a soil amendment.
ki
Lime pasteurized biosolids contain plant nutrients and may be considered a low-grade
fertilizer. It's main value is as a soil pH enhancer and as a soil conditioner. Lime
stabilized biosolids are known to . improve the physical properties of soil in the
following ways:
• Enhanced Aggregation Lime stabilized biosolids increases the
tendency of soil particles to stick together.
• Increased water retention - Allows sandy soils to hold water
better.
• -1mproved Permeability - Helps make clay or other heavy soils more
friable and loose, reducing compaction.
• Improved aeration - Looser soil encourages root growth.
• Increases overall soil. pH - restores soil pH to optimum conditions
for several commercial/agricultural products.
Lime pasteurized wastewater biosolids are a product of municipal sewage. Lime
pasteurized biosolids may be assumed to be free of dangerous pathogens and toxic

substances, but it should be treated with respect. Contact with children and pets
should be minimized and direct ingestion of lime stabilized biosolids should be avoided.
Also, due to the highly alkaline nature of lime pasteurized biosolids, prolonged contact
with the biosolids should be avoided.

Deaf Permittee:
Our files indicate that the subject permit issued on 1/9/96 expires on 11/30/98. We have not
received a request for renewal from you as of this date.
A renewal request shall consist of a letter asking for permit renewal, the appropriate permit
application processing fee, and four (4) copies of a completed application. For permitted facilities with
treatment works, a narrative description of the residuals management plan, which is in effect at the
permitted facility, must also be submitted with the renewal application. Applications may be returned to
the applicant if not accompanied by the processing fee or are incomplete.
Please find attached a copy of the processing fee schedule, as found in 15 NCAC 2H .0205(c).
The processing fee for your facility is based on the type of facility and/or the permitted flow. Processing
fees for land application of residuals are based on the total acres of land permitted. The processing fee
does not apply to any farmer who submits an application which pertains to his/her farming operation.
The check or money order should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (DENR).
The Environmental Management Commission adopted rules on October 1, 1990, requiring the
payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if
applicable) after your permit is approved.

as required by their permit.
Enclosed are the summary and'certification sheets that must be used for your annual

The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit renewal request for the continued
operation of the composting facility to distribute Class A wastewater residuals (2300 dry tons per
year) to farms, nurseries, and homeowners. Groundwater monitoring in the vicinity of the composting
facility is not necessary since the facility is constructed of concrete.
Based upon the Groundwater Section's review of the subject permit renewal request and
supporting documentation, the Groundwater Section makes the following recommendations:
The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in
15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary is
for the disposal system individually permitted after December 31, 1983 is established at either
(1) 250 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary,
whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action
in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the
disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste
disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require remediation
action on the part of the permittee.

2. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.

process and found to have densities of enteric virus <1 pfu/4 grams of total solids and viable helininth ova <1/4g
total solids, the residuals are Class A with respect to enteric virus and viable helminth ova until the next
monitoring episode. If the residuals are analyzed before the pathogen reduction process and found to have densities
of enteric virus > or = 1 pfu/4 g total solids or viable helminth ova > or = 1/4 g total solids, and. tested again after
processing and found to meet the enteric virus and viable helminth ova levels listed under "4" below, then the

must be treated by a "Process to Further Reduce Pathogens" or a "Process to Further Reduce Pathogens" equivalent
process.
5. The "Processes to Further Reduce Pathogens" (PFRP) are described as follows:
a. Composting - using either the within -.vessel or static aerated pile composting methods, the .temperature of the
residuals are raised to 550 C or higher for three days. Using the windrow composting method, the residuals are
raised to 550 C or higher for fifteen days. During the high temperature period, there will be a i�linimum of five
turnings of the windrow.
b. Heat Drvina - residuals are dried by direct or indirect contact with hot gases to reduce the moisture content of
the residuals to 10% or lower. Either the temperature of the gas in .contact with the residuals',ezceeds 800 C of
the wet bulb temperature of the gas in contact with the residuals, when the residuals leave the dryer, exceed:
800 C.
c. Heat Treatment - liquid residuals are heated to a temperature of 1800 C or higher for thirty minutes.
d. Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion - liquid residuals are agitated with air or oxygen to maintain aerobic condition:
at residence times of ten days at temperatures of 550 C to 600 C.
e. beta Ray Irradiation - residuals are irradiated with beta rays from an accelerator at dosages of at least 1.G

A.
PURPOSE
The City of Marion is proposing to construct facilities for the lime pasteurization of
wastewater sludge from the Corpening Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. This
pasteurization process is a two step process which results in a Class A biosolid
material. The first step is to mix dewatered sludge cake with lime in a larger
mechanical blender. This mixer is specifically designed to maximize the efficiency of
the sludge lime reaction and to minimize lime consumption. During this stage, the pH
of the sludge lime mixture is elevated to 12. The second step involves maintaining
the temperature of the sludge lime mixture at 70 degrees C (158 degrees F) - for a
period of 30 minutes pursuant to 503 regulations for a Class A material. The sludge
lime mixture is placed into a steel vessel which is insulated to retain the 'heat.
Supplemental heat is also available to insure that the temperature is maintained for the
30 minutes. Upon completion of the pasteurization process, the compost will be sold
to local farmers, nurserymen and landowners for use as a soil amendment or soil pH
adjustment additive.

B. LIME PASTEURIZATION FACILITIES
The City of Marion proposes to construct proprietary lime pasteurization facilities
manufactured by RDP company at the City's primary wastewater treatment plant on
Corpening Creek. Sludge will continue to be dewatered by the City's existing belt
filter press to a consistency of 15 % solids.
i
Once the sludge is dewatered, it will be mixed in a large mixer with quicklime '(CAO).
Upon complete mixing, the sludge lime mixture is held in an insulated steel tank at a
pH of 12 and 70 degrees C (158 degrees F), which completely pasteurizes the sludge
and thus meets Class A requirements for pasteurization. i
i
The facility is capable of producing 1.5 tons of biosolids per hour, and includes.all the
necessary appurtenances such as a lime silo and control building, live bottom bin,
blender and pasteurization vessel.

C.
MARKETING
Lime stabilized biosolids from the Corpening Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant will
be attractive to several markets including large farming businesses and the private
sector.
Several large farming businesses are located in the McDowell County area. These
operations plan to use the lime pasteurized biosolids as a soil pH enhancer, and also
to benefit from the organic and nutritional value of the biosolids. The lime pasteurized
biosolids also have the ability to improve the physical properties of soil.
In the private sector several individuals have expressed an interest in using the lime
pasteurized biosolids as a soil pH enhancer and low-grade fertilizer for lawn and
landscape improvements.
The biosolids would also be used by the City as a soil conditioner for landscaping
around the City as well as fill material for soil rehabilitation projects around the City.

THE LIME PASTEURIZATION PROCESS
The method of lime pasteurization used at the City of Marion Corpening Creek
Wastewater Treatment Facility is a proprietary process marketed by the RDP company
called Envessel Pasteurization. Wastewater sludge is dewatered to 12-15 % solids and
then mixed with quicklime in a large mixer. During this process, the pH of the sludge
lime mixture is elevated to 12. Since the mixing process is exothermic, temperatures
in excess of 70 degrees C (158 degrees F) can be readily achieved.
The sludge lime mixture is then passed from the mixing vessel to an insulated steel
vessel- where the temperature can be maintained at 70 degrees C 0 58 degrees. F).
This vessel also has an external heat source to ensure the temperature does not drop
below 70 degrees C (158 degrees F) for a 30 minute period.
The combination of elevated pH (pH = 12) and elevated temperature (70 degrees C
for 30 minutes) classifies the lime pasteurized biosolids as a Class A product by the
EPA 503 regulations. The final product has value as a soil pH conditioner and, as a
yow grade fertilizer. When used according to the recommendations in this brochure,
this product may be used as a soil pH amendment for farmers, landscapers and
gardeners.
The lime pasteurization method of producing biosolids is approved by the EPA as an
effective method of sludge stabilization and pathogen reduction and results in' an
environmentally safe product with multiple beneficial uses.

GENERAL USES PROPERTIES, AND PRECAUTIONS
Lime pasteurized biosolids can be utilized advantageously by the local, large scale
farmer as a soil pH enhancer and low-grade fertilizer. It can also be used by
individuals wishing to enhance the pH of their lawns and gardens or any other area
that may need a soil amendment.
Lime pasteurized biosolids contain plant nutrients and may be considered a low-grade
fertilizer. It's main value is as a soil pH enhancer and as a soil conditioner. Lime
stabilized biosolids are known to improve the physical properties of soil in the
following ways:
• Enhanced Aggregation - Lime stabilized biosolids increases the
tendency of soil particles to stick together.
• Increased water retention - Allows sandy soils to hold water
better.
• -Improved Permeability - Helps make clay or other heavy soils more
friable and loose, reducing compaction.
• Improved aeration - Looser soil encourages root growth.
• Increases overall soil pH - restores soil pH to optimum conditions
for several commercial/agricultural products.
Lime pasteurized wastewater biosolids are a product of municipal sewage. Lime
pasteurized biosolids may be assumed to be free of dangerous pathogens and toxic
Pap. 7

substances, but it should be treated with respect. Contact with children and �, pets
should be minimized and direct ingestion of lime stabilized biosolids should be avoided.
Also, due to the highly alkaline nature of lime pasteurized biosolids, prolonged contact
with the biosolids should be avoided.

A004 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions shall apply throughout this Subchapter.
(1) Activated Carbon Beds. A physical/chemical method for reducing soluble organic material from wastewater effluent; The column -type beds used in this
method will have a flow rate varying from two to eight gallons per minute per square foot and may be either upflow or downflow carbon beds. Carbon may or
may not be regenerated on the wastewater treatment plant she;
(2) Aerated Lagoons. A basin in which all solids are maintained In suspension and by which biological oxidation or organic matter is reduced through artificially
accelerated transfer of oxygen on a flow -through basis;
(3) Aeration. A process of bringing about Intimate contact between air or high purity oxygen in a liquid by spraying, agitation or dlffusion;(3a) Extended
Aeration. An activated sludge process utilizing a minimum hydraulic detention time of 18 hours.
(4) Agriculturally managed she. Any site on which a crop is produced, managed, and harvested (Crop includes grasses, grains. trees, etc.);
(5) Air Stripping. A process by which the ammonium Ion is first convened to dissolved ammonia (pH adjustment) with the ammonia then released to the
atmosphere by physical means; or other similar processes which remove petroleum products such as benzene, toluene, and xylene;
(6) Carbon Regeneration. The regeneration of exhausted carbon by the use of a furnace to provide extremely high temperatures which volatilize and oxidize the
absorbed Impuritles•
(7) Carbonaceous Stage. A stage of wastewater treatment designed to achieve 'secondary' effluent limits;
(8) Centrifuge. A mechanical device In which centrifugal force is used to separate solids from liquids or to separate liquids of different densMas;
(9) Chemical Addltlon Systems- The addition of chemical(s) to wastewater at an application point for purposes of Improving solids removal, pH adjustment,
alkalinity control, etc.; the capability to experiment with different chemicals and different application points to achieve a specific result will be considered one
system; the capability to add chemical(s) to dual units will be rated as one system; capability to add a chemical at a different application points for'different
purposes will result In the systems being rated as separate systems;
(10) Chemical Sludge Conditioning. The addition of a chemical compound such as lime, ferric chloride, or a polymer to wet sludge to coalesce the mass prior to
its application to a dewatering device;
(11) Closed Cycle Systems. Use of holding ponds or holding tanks for containment of wastewater containing inorganic, non -toxic materials from sand, gravel,
crushed stone or other similar operations. Such systems shall carry a maximum of two points regardless of pumping facilities or any other appurtenances;
(12) Combined Removal of Carbonaceous BOO and Nhrogenous Removal by Nitrification- A single stage system required to achieve permit allluerit limits on BOO
and ammonia nitrogen within the same biological reactor,
(13) Dechlorinatlon. The partial or complete reduction of residual chlorine in a liquid by any chemical or physical process;
(14) Denitrification Process. The conversion of nitrate-nftrogen to nitrogen gas;
