Peachtree WWTP
NPDES Permit Number NC0020541
Northside WWTP
NPDES Permit Number NC0024236
Lenoir County
In accordance with the application for discharge permit, the Division is forwarding herewith the
subject NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994.
The Division of Water Quality received John Jarrell's comments, submitted on behalf of the City
dated September 29, 2000, with regard to the draft permit. Historically, the lagoon mentioned in the
letter was used to store sludge. As such, the Division considers any discharge from this treatment
component to be unpermitted. Issuance of this final NPDES permit should not be construed as
allowance of discharge from the lagoon.
The stipulations of the NPDES permits for Kinston Peachtree and Northside WWTP must
be met in addition to any requirements of the City's Judicial Order by Consent.
Elimination and/or relocation of the outfall(s) to the Neuse River must take place prior to
expiration of this permit and reissuance of the next permit.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty
(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the office of
Administrative Hearings, Mail Service Center 6714, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such a
demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.

A. (1.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS - FINAL
(Continued)
Footnotes:
1. Sample locations: Upstream - least 100 ft. above outfall location on the Neuse River;
Downstream - at Highway 55 bridge. Instream monitoring is provisionally waived in light
of the permittee's participation in the Lower Neuse Basin Association. Instream
monitoring shall be conducted as stated in this permit should the permittee end its
participation in the Association.
2. The monthly average effluent BOD5 and Total Suspended Residue concentrations shall not
exceed 15% of the respective influent value (85% removal).
3. The daily average dissolved oxygen effluent concentration shall not be less than 6.0 mg/1.
4. See Special Condition A. (2.), Total Nitrogen Monitoring.
5. The annual mass loading limit for total nitrogen shall become effective with the calendar year
beginning on January 1, 2003 unless it is provisionally waived per Special Condition A.(3.),
Annual Limits for Total Nitrogen.
6. The quarterly average for total phosphorus shall be the average of composite samples collected
weekly during the calendar quarter (January -March, April -June, July -September, October -
December).
7. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia dubia) P/F at 2.4%: January, April, July, and October [see
Special Condition A.(4)]. Toxicity monitoring shall coincide with any metals and cyanide
monitoring, if required.
8. The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units and shall
be monitored daily at the effluent by grab sample.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace
amounts.
Kinston Nort.hskle NV\V TP
NPDES No. NC0024236

A. (2.) TOTAL NITROGEN MONITORING
The Permittee shall calculate the annual mass loading of total nitrogen as the sum of monthly
loadings, according to the following equations:
(1) Monthly Mass Loading (lb/no) = TN x Q x 8.34
where:
TN = the average total nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the composite
samples collected during the month
Q = the total wastewater flow discharged during the month (MG/month)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
(2) Annual Mass Loading (lb/yr) = E (Monthly Mass Loadings) for the calendar year
The Permittee shall report the total nitrogen concentration for each sample and the
monthly mass loading in the appropriate self -monitoring report and the annual mass
loading of total nitrogen in the December self -monitoring report for the year.
A. (3.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN
(a) The Neuse Nutrient Management Strategy rule for point sources (') provides that
annual mass limits for total nitrogen shall be included in the permits for all
dischargers with permitted flows (as defined in the Strategy) greater than or equal to
0.5 MGD and that those nitrogen limits, including the limits in this permit, shall
become effective with the calendar year beginning on January 1, 2003.
(b) The Neuse rule also provides that members of a group compliance association shall
not be subject to individual annual mass limits for total nitrogen. At the time of permit
issuance, the Permittee had expressed interest in joining such an association.
Accordingly,
(1) the total nitrogen limit in Condition A(1) of this permit is deemed waived
provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) a formal agreement between the association and Environmental
Management Commission, as outlined in 15A NCAC 2B. 0234, is
established and is in effect; and
(ii) the Permittee is a party to said agreement; and
(iii) the association and the Permittee substantially conform with the
agreement.
(2) So long as the total nitrogen limit in Condition A.(1.) is waived, the group
nitrogen allocation established pursuant to the agreement referenced above and
any subsequent amendments is hereby incorporated as an enforceable part of
this permit.
(c) If the Division determines, at any time during the term of this permit, that these
conditions are not being met, it shall notify the Permittee in writing of this
determination and of its basis. The consequence of such a determination shall be that
the Permittee's annual mass limit for total nitrogen and its effective date shall be
reinstated immediately. The Division shall accept and consider written responses
received from the Permittee and/or the association within thirty (30) days of the
original notice before making a final decision and will provide that decision in writing.

A. (3.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN (cont'd.)
(d) The Permittee shall notify the Division in writing within five (5) working days if, at any
time during the term of this permit, the Permittee elects not to join the association, or
if it withdraws or otherwise loses its membership in the association. Notification shall
be sent to:

A (4). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.4%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, ouarterlq monitoring using test procedures
outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised
February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent
Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be
performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this
testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV
below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in
each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent
Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of
the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the
lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The
definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical
methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit 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 for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,
DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or
approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be
measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Kinston Norihsidc \V\VTP
NI'DES No. NC0024236

A (4). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
(cont'd.)
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring
is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity
(AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the
month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The
report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened 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, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate
environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up
testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial
monitoring.
A. (5.) RELOCATION OF DISCHARGE TO THE NEUSE RIVER
The City of Kinston shall receive tertiary limits (BOD5 (5& 10 mg/1, summer/winter) NI-13-N (1&2
mg/1, summer/winter) for oxygen consuming waste, as well as more stringent limits on toxicity
testing and toxicant parameters, should the facility not relocate the discharge to the Neuse River
by expiration of this permit and reissuance of the next permit.
The City should pursue relocation of the discharge and upgrade of the treatment facility as
specified in the Judicial Order by Consent (JOC). Relocation of the discharge should be planned
as one of the first steps in the construction sequence of the upgrade, if feasible.

Just wanted to pass along some comments from Kinston re. the draft permits (not sure you
guys were copied). Could you help me with their comment #1? Not sure I understand what
they still want to do. Comment #2 is no big deal and it seems just a comment on the draft
letter, not the permit.
Comment #3 won't affect the permit - the permit allows them 4.5 MGD (and I thought I was
reasonably sure they were under moratorium before, but, whatever - the permit reflects the
design flow).

RE: Draft NPDES Permits
Peachtree Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES No. 0020541
Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES No. 0024336
City of Kinston
Lenoir County
Dear Mr. Goodrich:
The City of Kinston is in receipt of the above referenced Draft National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permits. We agree with the Permit Conditions as described
within the NPDES Permit. However we take issue with two items within your letter dated August
30, 2000 letter concerning these permits.
1. The lagoon at present treats only stormwater. Stormwater enters and
discharges. The City no longer uses the lagoon for treatment, and if limitations
are being are being placed on the lagoon, then I can assume that the lagoon is
permitted. The City has repeatedly tried to make use of the lagoon only to be
told that we cannot unless it is permitted. At present and since Hurricane Floyd,
the lagoon has been discharging stormwater at a rate of approximately 50
gallons per minute. This fact was reported, and no comment was made. No
comment was made at the last inspection of the Peachtree Wastewater
Treatment Plant. In the permit application we agreed to monitor any stormwater
discharge, but that is not part of the NPDES Permit. The Judicial Order of
Consent (JOC) only states in Order 2,1,0) that the lagoon must be
decommissioned prior to December 31, 2003, and it will be addressed in the 201
Plan.
2. Both Plants are not under a flow moratorium. The City of Kinston is under a
Sewer moratorium defined in Order 6 of the JOC as, "any additional sewer
system extensions". In fact Order 6 of the JOC will allow additional flows into
[phone] - Fax: [phone]

each plant under certain conditions.
3. The allowable discharge from the Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant was
never reduced to 2.25 million gallons per day. According to Order 2,C,(ii) of the
JOC, the Intermediate Plan of Action which was submitted on November 24,
1998, was to address this issue, and it did in Section III. Therefore allowable flow
from the Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant was never reduced to 2.25
million gallons per day. This matter was also discussed with Roger Thorpe and
Jim Mulligan in a meeting held in the Spring of 2000. The City therefore
maintains that the permitted flow from the plant be 4.50 million gallons per day
as shown on the permit conditions, and not 2.25 million gallons per day as the
letter stated.
We trust that you agree with each of the changes proposed above, and we trust that you will
issue another letter to clarify these items. The City will continue to operate both wastewater
treatment plants to comply with the conditions as outlined in the draft permits, and not
according to your letter dated August 30, 2000.
We would like to thank you for your review of this response to the Draft NPDES Permits for the
City of Kinston. If additional information or action is required, please contact John Jarrell or
Scott Stevens at [phone].

SUMMARY
The City of Kinston has had well documented problems concerning residuals disposal and IR
issues. Both the Kinston Peachtree and Northside Plants are under a Judicial Order by Consent
(JOC) with specific intermediate and final compliance dates and stipulated penalties for not
meeting those dates. The Kinston Northside plant is under a flow cap of 2.25 MGD (due to one
aeration basin being down. An 8 inch line was connected between Northside and Peachtree to
divert flows and/or residuals between plants, etc.
This discharge is actually to a point (likely in a flood plain of the Neuse) prior to the Neuse
proper. Because Kinston likely plans to shut down Peachtree and expand the Northside plant,
DWQ will require a direct pipe to the Neuse at that time. Renewed permit will continue at the
existing discharge point.
* Addendum to Fact Sheet: Site visit 7/18/00 confirmed that this discharge enters into an
unnamed tributary to the Neuse River [the tributary is subject to inflow from other sources
besides the contribution from the WWTP). Kinston must eliminate the discharge into this
tributary by expiration of the proposed permit and reissuance of the next permit. Long range
plans for the Northside plant indicate that the effluent will be piped directly to the Neuse River.
TOXICITY TESTING:
Current Requirement:Chronic P/F @ 2.4% (also recommended with renewal)
The City has reported toxicity "passes" since as early as 1996.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: BASED ON THE PREVIOUS 2 YEARS
Both Kinston plants have had severe compliants problems (esp. with flow and solids) which
prompted the Division to recommend issuance of a JOC. [Per WaRO, JOC dates have been
met].

Oct. 1999 - TSS = 37 mg/1 (limit = 30 mg/1 monthly avg.); Mar. 1998 - TSS = 34 mg/1; Feb.
1998 - TSS = 38 mg/1.
(Kinston - Northside appears to be compliant with other limits, per computer retrieval)
INSTREAM MONITORING:
Kinston is part of the Lower Neuse Basin Association (LNBA) and is not required to perform the
instream monitoring required in this permit.
PROPOSED CHANGES:
Kinston proposes to become a member of the Neuse nutrient compliance group. If Kinston
joins the compliance association, the annual load limit for total nitrogen will not have to be
met. The total phosphorus limit of 2 mg/1 was instituted in the previous permit.
Cadmium and mercury limits have been eliminated from the permit due to lack of reasonable
potential to exceed the water quality standard. Copper and zinc monitoring have been included
in the permit due to the presence in long term monitoring data and it's exceedance of the 1/2
Final acute value.
Kinston Northside has lost its major industry during this latest permit cycle (- 2 MGD
permitted ind. flow). This will likely reduce average monthly flows significantly and allow some
flow from the Peachtree plant to be diverted.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Draft Permit to Public Notice: May 17, 2000 (est.)
Permit Scheduled to Issue: July 1, 2000 (est.)

CHRONOLOGY
4/26/00
1990, December - Authorization to Construct permit (CG&Ls) issued for chemical
phosphorus removal, anaerobic sludge digestion, dechlorination.
1994, April - previous permit issued. Included a requirement for an EAA to meet limits of
5/2 (due by 1997). Due to the severe compliance concerns at the Kinston plants, the City
has been forced to address treatment plant improvements via the JOC.
1995, October - Authorization to Construct permit (CG&Ls) issued for mechanical
screening and grit removal.
1998, August - Kinston submitted permit renewal. JOC was issued August 18.
1999, June - NPDES Unit issued ATC for physical modifications at both plants (aerators,
mixers, etc.) to assist operations.
1999, July - Kinston requests speculative limits for 201 Facility Plan (to receive CG&L
funding)
1999, August - Kinston consultants narrow request for speculative limits using possible
flow scenarios (subject to change). Alternatives: a) continue discharge at Peachtree and
Northside, b) eliminate Peachtree & continue Northside (if reuse) appx. 12 or 15 MGD. If
continue both - 5 MGD Peachtree & 6 MGD Northside.
1999, September - DWQ gave speculative limits to Kinston - 5/1 (BOD/NH3-N), TP = 1,
mass TN annual limit.
2000, January - Project 11.5 - 12 MGD for combined flows from both plants
(possibly use Peachtree for equalization only, then divert all flow to Northside).
2000, February - Kinston's consultants submitted letter expressing concern about meeting
a concentration based limit of 3.5 mg/1 TN; DG clarified and stated annual load limit would
be required.
1998, June through 2000, March - DWQ has to revise nitrogen allocation, submit TMDL
for EPA approval, and revise Neuse rules. In February 2000, EPA approved NCDWQs TMDL
and the EMC approved revised temporary Neuse rules.
2000, July 18 - NPDES staff went on site visit to both Kinston plants to look at effluent
conveyances. In actuality, neither effluent conveyance qualified as an "effluent channel" by
current definition. However, since both plants are under a JOC and the 201 plan intends to
phase out the Peachtree plant and transfer flow to the Northside plant, this permit will
reflect a compliance schedule until expiration.

Re: City of Kinston
Total Nitrogen Limits
201 Facilities Planning Update
Dear Mr. Goodrich:
February 8, 2000
On February 2, 2000 representatives of the City of Kinston and Black & Veatch met with
representatives of Construction Grants and Loans of the Division of Water Quality to
discuss issues and progress on the preparation of the 201 Facilities Plan Update.
One of the issues discussed was the planning limits for total nitrogen. Representatives of
Construction Grants and Loans expressed concern that the total nitrogen limit may not be
finalized as a yearly mass loading. Opinions were expressed by DENR personnel that
the total nitrogen limit could be finalized in the permit as a daily limit of 3.5 mg/1 based
on a monthly average.
These comments were especially of concern to us and the City of Kinston because of
some recent analysis and additional sampling that was performed to assist in modeling
and developing design parameters for proposed facilities. There was some indication
from sporadic sampling performed by the City on influent concentrations in previous
years that high levels of refractory organic TKN were present in the influent. If this
condition existed, it would make it difficult for Kinston to comply with the proposed
limits as no technology currently exists to treat wastewater with high concentrations of
refractory organic TKN down to the limits proposed. Therefore, additional sampling was
conducted on the influent and the effluent of both the Peachtree and the Northside plants
for both nitrogen and phosphorus. Samples were taken the week of December 13, 1999,
and a summary of the analysis of these samples is attached to this correspondence for
your information.

Mr. David A Goodrich February 8, 2000
One of the conclusions from this additional sampling is that the refractory organic TKN
is low enough that the annual mass loading limit for total nitrogen is achievable with
current technology; however, to meet 3.5 mg/1 consistently on a daily basis may not be
possible.
On behalf of the City of Kinston, we are requesting you to reconfirm that the total
nitrogen limit will be an annual mass loading. The parameters of the proposed facility
will be designed on meeting a 3.5 mg/1 on a daily basis, but the current available
technology will not allow us to guarantee that said concentration can be consistently
achieved on a daily basis using the data from the attached summary.
Thank you for your assistance. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
call me at 462-7509, or our process engineer for this project, Chris deBarbadillo, at 704-
548-8461.
Very truly yours,

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Presently aeration basin #1 is out of service and is full of treated sludge
which is ready to be removed from site. The new grit removal system is used
sparingly as to not lose treatment before the wastewater enters the plant
aeration basins. During the site visit the #5 aerator associated with the #2
aeration basin was out of service and was altering their treatment capability
to remove nitrogen and phosphorous. The site has the dechlorination system in
place but is not using because the active permit does not specify a total
residual chlorine limit. The City has decided to use residual haulers to
manage the sludge disposal as opposed to the drying beds. The beds remain in
place but have been grown over with weeds and other volunteer vegetation.
The bold highlighted components in the description of the existing wastewater
treatment facility need to be added to the permit language.
Kinston recently has entered into a JOC, which limits their flow at Northside
to half capacity as long as only half the aeration basins are working. This
office recommends renewal of this permit for 4.5 MGD given that the treatment
plant will be operated at full capacity.

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit No. NC0024236
Northside WWTP
Lenoir County
This is the letter requesting renewal of the NPDES permit for the Northside
WWTP (NC0024236). Since the last permit was issued, the City of Kinston
has had the following changes: 1. A 8 inch line was added to transfer
sludge and/or raw wastewater from the Peachtree WWTP to the
Northside WWTP. 2. A U.S. Filter FILTER SCREEN Unit was added
to screen material larger than 0.25 in diameter from the influent waste
stream. 3. A Walker ROLLING GRIT UNIT WITH GW200
GRITWASHER was added to remove grit and other inorganics from
the influent waste stream. This packet contains the original and two copies
of the cover letter, completed application form, $300 renewal fee and a
description of the sludge management plan.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at [phone]
or Fax [phone].

Subject: Outline For Sludge Management Program
Here is the outline for the sludge management program that will be
followed at both the Northside and Peachtree plants. This program was
developed based on the Agreement for Biosolids Management Treatment
& Disposal Services between the City of Kinston and Advanced Waste
Management Services, Inc.
Aerobic Sludge Digestion/Storage Facilities At Northside
There are 2 above ground circular digestors that hold 737,200 gallons each.
There is 1 in ground rectangular digestor that holds 1,496,000 gallons.
TOTAL NORTHSIDE SLUDGE STORAGE CAPACITY IS 2,970,400 GALLONS
Aerobic Sludge Digestion/Storage Facilities At Peachtree
There are 2 above ground circular digestors that hold 888,000 gallons each.
TOTAL PEACHTREE SLUDGE STORAGE CAPACITY IS 1,776,000 GALLONS
A MINIMUM OF 1,000,000 GALLONS OF SLUDGE MUST BE HAULED BY
SLUDGE HAULER FOR EACH LAND APPLICATION EVENT.
Sludge Management At Peachtree
At the Peachtree WWTP there are 2 above ground digestors that hold
888,000 gallons each. Digestor A will be used for aeration and mixing. It
will be considered the primary digestor. No waste sludge will be sent to
Digestor B until Digestor A is full. Once Digestor A has been stabilized and
decanted as much as possible to meet 503 regulations, the majority of it will
be sent to Digestor D at Northside by forcemain for storage and removal to
land apply. Once the sludge haulers have enough space in Digestor D the
additional amount of sludge shall be sent from Digestor A at Peachtree.
Once Digestor A is full, it will be taken off line and Digestor B will be used
to stabilize sludge. We will alternate between using Digestor A and Digestor
B, with one of the digestor possibly always staying empty.
Sludge Management At Northside
Digestor A will be the primary digestor for aeration and mixing, with
Digestor B being used for some mixing and gravity thickening. The majority

of the stabilized sludge will then be sent to Digestor C for ultimate sludge
disposal by land applying. Once the sludge haulers have remove enough
sludge form Digestor C, the remain sludge in Digestor B will be sent to
Digestor C to dispose.
Scheduling Of Sludge Hauling Witit Contractor
Because the stablized sludge from Peachtree is sent to Digestor D at
Northside, Once Digestors C and D at Northside are as full, stablized
and dewatered as possible, it is time to make sure all pre -land
application testing gets done and a call is made to the sludge hauler to
land apply.
An initial call should be made to the sludge hauler three weeks before
you are ready for them to haul to make sure all scheduling is right.
After that call is made all pre -land application test should be done
immediately. Keep in touch with the sludge hauler to ensure him your
sludge meets 503 regulations and that he gives you a date of arrive. The
total volume of Digestor C and D is 1,474,400 gallons which is over the
minimum 1,000,000 gallons required per sludge event.
For both the Peachtree and Northside WWTPs sludge more than likely
will be hauled every 30-45 days. This will call for 8-12 land application
events per year.

III. kayo Planning and Organization
III.A. Proposed Biosolids Management
AWMS has developed a Management and Disposal plan for City Biosolids that
is specifically designed to achieve the goals of the City, which we see as providlng an
"Environmentally Safe and Cost Effective Land Application Program." The program
must be sensitive and flexable so as to handle the biosolids production and meet the
City's demands over the future years.
We view the City of IGnston's program as a two phase program:
Phase One - Before Force Main Installation
Phase Two - After Force Main Installation
During Phase One AWMS would toad and haul Biosolids from each plant
independently of one another. The biosolids would be loaded direct from the existing
aerobic digesters at each plant. After the Force Main completion Phase Two would
begin, all biosoldids would be hauled from the existing 1,496,000 gal. basin at the
Northside Plant, in addition any time stabilization needed would be performed in that
same tank, however during phase one the stabilization process could be performed in
the individual aerobic digesters if neccessary.
AWMS will if requested provide personnel to show the City different ways to
decant the aerobic digesters inorder to increase solids concentrations. Alternatively if
the City desired or it became a necessity AWMS could haul excess biosolids from the
Peachtree Plant to Northside for storage until permits are received. (See Project Cost
Section).

111.B. Land Requirergeg#s
Based on our experience and calculations using the information provided the
City's Biosolids production will produce from 82.5 lbs. of PAN to 137.5 lbs. of PAN a
day or 30,112 to 50,187 lbs. of PAN annually. Assuming an average application rate
of 200 lbs. of PAN per acre per year the program would require 250 Acres be used
per year. Recognizing crop cycles, weather conditions, and needs the plant may have
we recommend and propose the program contain a minimum of 500 A. and ultimately
increase that to 1000 A. over a period of time.
During the first year we would propose that over the first 90 days of the
contract we acquire the permits on the 300 acres the City presently has land owner
agreements on and then during the remainder of the first year add an additional 200-
500 Acres to the permit ultimately reaching 1000 Acres by the end of the third year.
AWMS can assure the City by following this plan, they would always have
adequate land available to handle their biosolids re -use needs.
t11.C. Manpower and Equipment
AWMS will provide the following manpower and equipment to provide our
services to the City:
1. Project Manager -
2. Project Superintendent 3. Agronomist/Soil Scientist -
4. Field Operator
5. Field Laborer
8. Truck Drivers
7. Terra-Gator Model 2505

Proposctd Method of plopolids Disposal
We are very proud of the success of the Agronomic Land Application Programs
we manage for clients throughout the southeast and propose the same type program
for the City of Kinston. AWMS is pleased to provide the City with our team of highly
qualified professionals.
The following describes our method of biosolids disposal or more appropriately

put recycling program.
Following loading at the WWTP, biosolids will be transported to the application
sites using the most direct primary and secondary state highways. The drivers will be
instructed to avoid residential areas where possible. Prior to intiating field operations.
the farm operator will be contacted relative to available fields, specific field conditions,
anticipated cropping schedule, and whether fields have been Limed to required Ph
levels. Field conditions will only be deemed acceptable when both the farm operator
and the project superintendent concur. Trucks will be unloaded in the field at
designated staging areas. To minimize field compaction by application and truck
traffic, staging areas will be selected in regard to buffer restrictions, topography,
access, farm management concerns, and soil conditions. Although several staging
areas wiU be required for the typical field, all efforts will be made to minimize the
effects of staging areas.
Liquid biosolids will be recycled using one or more AgChem Terra-Gators
depending on the volume to be applied. The biosolids wil be removed from the
tankers using the vacuum pump on the Terra-Gator. The Terra-Gator will be equipped
to allow surface or subsurface application of the liquid biosolids.
All field equipment wcft be equipped with high floatation tires to minimize soil
compaction.
Prior to leaving the application site, the transport trucks will be scraped along
the wheels, mud flaps, tailgate, etc. to minimize trucking mud onto public roads.
Drivers wM be instructed on the importance of preventing mud from being tracked
onto roads relative to the public perceptions of site activities and safety considerations.
Once the area of the farm has received the designated application rate, the
biosolids applications operation will relocate and phase out the staging area Each
site will be inspected by the project superintendent prior to application, during, and
after phase out to insure proper operations.
The AWMS team continually monitors, supervises, and inspects ail operations to
insure a safe and smooth operation. In the unlikely event an accident occurs or some
other spill or emergency arises we have developed Spill Prevention and Emergency
Spill Controls, Containment, and Clean-up Plans.
111.E. Spill Prevention Plan
The spill prevention plan requires that all equipment used to transport Biosolids
be subject to periodic safety inspections. fires, brakes, fights, and turn signals will be
inspected for proper working order. Each truck will be equipped with safety flares and
appropriate signs to be used in the event of a breakdown. Any deficiencies observed

during the safety inspections will result in the vehicle being removed from service.
Routes leading from the plant to the disposal sites will be inspected for road
hazards. The road hazards will be documented and drivers will be informed of the
hazards. Alternate routes will be investigated and routes which minimize road hazards
will be selected. Hazardous situations resulting from rush-hour traffic will be avoided
during the hauling of residual solids.
Drivers and management personnel associated with the hauling of biosolids will
be instructed in the spill prevention plan and will be required to attend training
sessions. Drivers will be trained in defensive driving techniques in order to minimize
road hazards. A driver who observes a road hazard will be required to report the
hazard to the dispatcher who, in turn, will wam other drivers who will be hauling
residual solids. As part of the spill prevention plan, drivers will be required to inspect
the safety equipment on their vehicles on a daily basis. Any deficiency in safety
equipment will be noted for corrective action. Drivers will be trained in the procedures
to be taken in the event of a spill that occurs during the hauling of residual soUds.
These procedures are discussed in the spill control, containment, and cleanup plan.
tt1.F. SpW Contpt. Containment. and Cleanup Flan
Spills that occur during loading or unloading blosolids will occur at the
generation point and the disposal point, respectively. These spills will not involve an
environmental hazard or an over -the -road hazard and, therefore, will be handled using
the equipment that will be available at either site. Spills that occur over -the -road will
be subject to the contingencies contained in the spill control containment and cleanup
Plan.
All personnel associated with the hauling of biosolids will be trained in the
procedures to be taken in the event of a spill. The equipment used in the spill control
containment and cleanup consists of the following:
1. An emergency response vehicle. This vehicle is maintained on a 24-hour
state of readiness. The emergency response vehicle is a pick-up truck
and trailer. Loaded within the pick-up are absorbents, spin containment
equipment, barricades, sand bags, tools, and flares for the rerouting of
traffic.
2. Vacuum pump and Tanker Truck. The vacuum pump and tanker truck
wiU be used to cleanup liquid residual solids spills.
3. Front End Loader. Low Elpy. and Dump Truck. This group of equipment
will be used to cleanup any necessary soils.

4. Byoom T1#or. Used to sweep roadway.
5. Truck and High Pressure Pump. The tanker truck and a high pressure
pump will be used to wash the surface of the pavement after the residual
solids have been removed.
The following personnel will be involved in spill control, containment, and
cleanup.
1. Project Superintendent. The field superintendent is on notice 24 hours a
day. The field superintendent will respond by driving the emergency
response vehicle to the spill site with an assistant and make an
assessment of the spill and determing the containment procedures to be
initiated and the equipment to be used to clean up the spill.
2. Cleanup Team Memberr. The cleanup team wiU consist of the Project
Superintendent, equipment operators and laborers. The Project
Superintendent WU be responsible for the direction of the cleanup team.
Each member of the cleanup team will be trained in cleanup actions.
Spill Contrail. Containment. Arid Clete Procedures
In the event of a spill, the driver of the truck, if he has not sustained a
debilitating injury, will call the project superintendent and report the spill. The project
superintendent will notify the appropriate authorities and will also mobilize the clean-up
team. The driver will set safety flares and signs to wam motorists of the hazard. The
Project Superintendent will mobilize the necessary equipment and personnel to the
site, and he and his assistant will initiate containment procedures. When the cleanup
team arrives at the site, the site will be deaned up in accordance with the contingency
plan. Blosoffds cleaned up from the site will be transported to the disposal area where
it will be disposed of in accordance with the operational plan.
On each anraversary date of the contract, the spill control, containment, and
cleanup plan will be reviewed and appropriated changes will be made if necessary. AN
personnel associated with the transportation and application of residual solids will be
required to become familiar with the spill control, containment, and cleanup plan.
M.G. Lime Stabilization
AWMS proposes to lime stabilize biosolids on an as needed basis. We will
furnish all labor, euipment, and materials needed except we plan to use the existing
aerator in the various tanks to assist in mixing. The city would be responsible for
furnishing the electricity for operation and to keep them in good working order.

The ideal facility to be used for the stabilization process would be the 1,496,000
gal tank at the Northside Plant, however, if an emergency was to arise the individual
digesters could be used. After the completion of the force main (Phase Two), AWMS
proposes to use only the Northside Facility for the Stabilization Process.

The frequency and duration of GritLift operation is dependent upon
conditions which exist at your plant at a given time. This schedule
can be determined only after observation of the flow patterns which
develop. For instance, the quantity of grit entering your plant may
not warrant continuous operation of the GritLift. On the other
hand, if your plant is served by combined sewers, it is recommended,
and maybe necessary, to operate the OritLift continuously during
periods when storm flows are being received. In addition, certain
seasons of the year may dictate varyingschedules of GritLift
operation.
Your plant may be equipped with a mechanical grit pump rather than a
GritLift. In these cases, the sequence of operation is the same as
described above for the GritLift j however, normal maintenance
procedures for mechanical pumps must be allowed. Refer to the manu-
facturer's instructions.
HUDSON H TcOMPZECE
The Hudson Retractable Footpiece is an exclusive feature available
on a walker Process GritLift used in a rolling grit basin, and is
used to restore pumping after an unusual grit load has been admitted
to the basin.
Figure 1 shows a normal -operating system in which grit is removed as
it enters the hopper area. In times of heavy grit load, as in storm
flaws with combined sewers, the grit deposited in the hopper may
inundate the entry to the GritLift, stopping the pumping action
(Figure 2) . The Hudson Retractable Footpiece, operable from above,
can be raised such that pumping is again restored (Figure 3) and
lowered gradually to pump away the deposit (Figure 4) to return to
normal operation.

ROLLING GRIT UNIT - ROLL AND GRITLIFT
The Rolling Grit Unit consists of a "RollAer" eductor tube, a
"GritLift" lift tube, a surface baffle, and a support bridge from
which the above components are suspended. Roth lift tubes have
their own internal air lines with diffusers. Absolutely no moving
parts make up this assembly and, therefore, it is quite simple to
operate and maintain.
To start the RollAer Lift Tube in operation, all that is necessary
is to open the main air valve and adjust this valve to the desired
level.
To assure proper and most efficient operation, the surface baffle is
positioned at the operating liquid surface of the basin in which it
is installed. The surface baffle is quite meant in the
operation of the unit and, therefore, this is a consideration which
must be strictly adhered to. Any deviation in the surface baffle
from the liquid surface will reduce the surface velocities radiating
from the basin centerline below optimum, and reduce the overall tank
turnover..
Tank turnover and/or oxygenation level can also be adjusted by
changing the guentity of airibeingg diffused into the eductor tube.

The only possible maintenance problem which should be encountered
with the unit is fouling or clogging of the air diffuser. while the
design of the walker Process diffuser bead, with its bottomless
blow -off feature, precludes this occurrence to the maximum extent
possible, rags and other stringy or fibrous material may, in time,
cause a clogging of the blow -off and/or orifices. The preferred
method of unclogging the orifices is to dewater the basin to gain
direct access to the diffuser head. If this is not possible,then
all air and grit lines must be disconnected at the bridge, the. .
surface baffle removed, and the rolling grit unit lifted in a .
vertical direction until the diffuser head and orifices are access-
ible for cleaning.
GEMTLITTOPERATION
All that is required to start the GritLift is to open the air valve
which feeds the internal air diffusion pipe. The air is to be
adjusted to such a point that the pumping rate produced is at the
desired level. Since the airlift principle dictates that the
greater the quantity of air diffused into the lift tube, the greater
the velocity of liquid within the tube, •the rate of pumping is more
or less linear with respect to the quantity.of air diffused.

GRIT WASHER
StiPEIRsEOEs
MAR. 081
There are several es to the Walker'Process Grit Walther: 1)
it is used as the race ving vessel for the grit and water being
removed from the grit basin; 2) thru the mechanical action .of the
screw, the Walker Process Grit Washer is used to transport the
grit (inorganic) material to the discharge point; 3) the organic
aaterals are returned to the plant flow by the overflow weir
system.
The Grit Washer must be placed into operation Marl any
�ttis
pumped to the receiving portion of the unit. Similarly,
he
duration of the grit pumping has been terminated, the
een grit washer
should be left in operation until the grit
completely.
Supplemental wash water is not required when a ritLift or
aechsnical pump is used to feed the Walker Process Grit
Supplemental wash water is required when a dry grit isb the
transportedto a Grit Washer. These situations
grit is being removed from the grit basin by a bucket elevator, or
other mechanical elevating device.
In these cases, a. non -potable water supply is fed at the upper
end
of the Grit Washer screw to provide the •necessary
volume to remove the organics from the grit c) material
and return then to the plant flow.
Other instructions given above for the Grit usher appurtenances
and accessories should be followed.
