TWSA
Operation and Maintenance Plan
For
Residual Operations
The residual operations at TWSA consist of the following main processes.
(a) Aerobic Digestion
When sludge is wasted from the sbrs it is routed to one of the two aerobic digestors. The upper digestor
(digestor #1) has a capacity of 285,000 gals. The lower digestor (digestor #2) has a capacity of 345,000
gals. The operator can route sludge flow to the digestors from the waste sludge pumps in the sbrs by
using the valves on the waste sludge line. The valves and associated sludge piping are shown on Sheet
CS of the record drawings by McGill Assoc. dated 10/12/2012.
(b) Sludge Pump
The sludge pump for the belt press is a progressive cavity pump (type BN 52-6Ls/A1-C1-C6-F0-SA-X)
manufactured by Seepex Inc and rated for a pump rate of 100 gpm. The pump is located in the
basement of the sludge pump/reusewater pump building. The location of this building on the site is
shown on Sheet C3 of the record drawings by McGill Assoc. dated 10/12/2012. The details of the piping
are shown on Sheet M21 of the record drawings by McGill Assoc. dated 10/12/2012. All lubrication and
operation and maintenance of this equipment should adhere to the schedules set by Seepex Inc. These
procedures are documented in the operation and maintenance manual supplied to TWSA by Seepex and
dated September 2010.
(c) Belt Press
The belt press is a 1.0 meter capacity (model #GRS-1 Series III ) as manufactured by Komline-Sanderson.
The press is located in the bottom of the Lab/Dryer building. All lubrication and operation and
maintenance of this equipment should adhere to the schedules set by Komline-Sanderson. These
procedures are documented in the operation and maintenance manual supplied to TWSA by Komline-
Sanderson.
(d) Polymer System
The polymer system is a DynaBLEND model # L4S-1200-3P-13-3(Disc) supplied by Fluid Dynamics. The
pump is located in a corner of the dryer/press building adjacent to the belt press. All lubrication and
operation and maintenance of this equipment should adhere to the schedules set by Fluid Dynamics.
These procedures are documented in the operation and maintenance manual supplied to TWSA by Fluid
Dynamics.
(e) Sludge Conveyors
Information on screw conveyors and components can be found in the Fenton Operation and
Maintenance Manual.

(f) Sludge Storage Hopper
The sludge storage hopper is located between the belt press and the sludge dryer and is used for storing
dewatered sludge in preparation for batching to the dryer.
(g) Burner
The thermal fluid heater is manufactured by Fulton and is located adjacent to the dryer in the
dryer/press building. Complete technical specifications and operation and maintenance information can
be found in Volume 4 of the owner manuals supplied by Fenton to TWSA.
(h) Dryer
The dryer is a Fenix 48/10 manufactured by Fenton Environmental Technologies and is located in the
dryer/press building. Complete operation and maintenance information can be found in the four (4)
volume set supplied to TWSA by Fenton Environmental Technologies.
(i) Silo and Baghouse system
The Silo and Baghouse were manufactured and supplied to Fenton Environmental by GMD
Environmental Technologies of Fort Worth, Texas. Complete operation and maintenance information
can be found in volume three (3) of the four (4) volume set supplied to TWSA by Fenton Environmental
Technologies.

Belt Press Operations
• The belt press augers should be turned on and allowed to run. Controls for these augers are
accessed through the Allen Bradley Panel View Plus 1000 touch screen dryer panel.
• Turn control power on at the belt press panel. After a delay the alarm will sound. Hit reset',
button to silence the alarm. Pull on the washwater pump, hydraulic pump and belt switch in
that order. Confirm that all equipment is operating properly.
• Turn polymer pump on at the Dyna Flow pump control panel. Speed of the pump will be 6
adjusted based upon observations made at the press.
• Turn sludge pump on by pulling the sludge pump button on the belt filter control panel. Pump
feed rate is adjusted at the SPACP 550 panel located on the concrete column adjacent to the
belt press. When the polymer begins to form a good floc in the sludge, close valve on mixing
tank and write flow reading down on flow meter. Polymer feed rate and sludge feed rate should
be adjusted to contain all of the product in the pressure zone of the belt and to produce the
driest cake possible and still "turn loose" from the belt at the scraper above the auger.
• At the end of the shift or days run, reverse the start up procedure to shut down the press. The
daily log sheet has spaces for recording the hours operated and gallons of sludge. dewatered.
Care should be taken to properly fill out all information so operations can be properly tracked.
• When it becomes necessary to change out a drum of polymer it_is important to note the change
and the flow reading on the daily sheet. This info is used to calculate dewatering costs.

Dryer Operation
Dryer controls are all contained in the Allen Bradley Panel View Plus 1000 panel . Each day the dryer is
operated a Dryer Operations Daily Record should be completed. Dryer operations should be conducted
as follows:
• Dryer should be set to auto on touch panel screen. Record start time. Burner will activate and
start building temperature. When a pre -determined temperature is reached fill cycle will start.
• Record fill cycle start time.
• After the timed fill cycle is complete, dry cycle will start. Record dry cycle start time.
• Dry cycle timer will be on zero at dry cycle start time. Record temperatures as outlined on Daily
Record at 50 min intervals until end of dry cycle. (Approx. 200 mins)
• At the end of the dry cycle, the discharge cycle will start. Discharge cycle will last approx. 10 min
and a new fill cycle will start.
• When the last batch of sludge to be dried for the day is in the dryer, set control mode to
Automatic Cool Down. This will prevent another batch from being loaded to the dryer and at the
end of the cycle the dryer will go into cool down mode in preparation of shutting down.
Silo and Baghouse Operation
The controls of the baghouse should be set to auto on the panel adjacent to the silo. When the dryer
discharges a batch to the silo the baghouse blower will automatically come on and keep dust from being
discharged to the atmosphere. Periodic cleaning of the dust bin on the baghouse is required, this is
accomplished by placing the backhoe bucket under the chute and opening the slide gate to allow dust
to slide into the bucket. Some tapping on the side of the hopper with a rubber mallet may be required
to loosen the accumulated dust.

Sampling Procedures
Daily sampling should be conducted in various points throughout the process to track and verify
compliance with permitted values.
• At least once per day a sample of the raw sludge feed to the belt press should be taken. This
sample should be a composite of several samples taken at different times during the day. This
sample should be obtained from the sample port at the intake to the raw sludge pump in the
basement of the reuse water/sludge pump building. This sample should be kept in a container
with an air tight lid until analyzed to prevent evaporation.
At least once per day a sample of the dewatered sludge cake should be taken from the belt filter
press. This sample should be a composite of several samples taken at different times during the
day. This sample should be kept in a container with an air tight lid until analyzed to prevent
evaporation.
• Each batch of sludge discharged from the dryer should be sampled. This sample can be
obtained after the discharge of each batch from the sampling port on the side of the discharge
auger. This sample is hot when first obtained from the auger and should be allowed to cool
before being bagged.
• All of the above samples should be weighed and dried overnight in order to obtain total % solids
values. Operators will be provided training in the proper procedures for sampling, storage and
analysis of samples before they are expected to conduct analysis.

Truck Loading Operations
Trucks to be loaded with bioresidual should pull through under the silo. Drivers will be responsible for
positioning of their trucks and plant operators will be responsible for loading operations. The storage
silo control panel is located at the top of the stairs on the silo. This should be switched to the on position
to enable the dust collector blower and chute controls to work. The valve on the green air piping theThe
operator should lower the end of the chute to the bed of the truck and then switch on the rotary valve
dispenser. The shorter distance residuals have to fall from the end of the chute to the bed of the truck
dramatically lessens the amount of dust escaping during the loading process.
Paperwork
All users of the bioresiduals must sign and date a Utilization Agreement before taking or
possessing the product. This agreement between TWSA and the end user must be signed and
dated within one year by both parties.
The hauler or transporter should be given a copy of the signed shipping manifest. The manifest
should include an estimated tonnage and should list contact info for the generator and the user
along with contact info on the trucking company with places for the generator, hauler and end
user to sign. Info as to the proper procedures and safeguards should an accident or spill occur
should be included on the manifest.

Spill Response Plan
In the event of a spill, the following actions shall be taken immediately.
(1) Management of spill clean-up activities
The transporter should take immediate charge and initiate clean-up activities. If there is danger to
motorists, the general public or employees the first call should be to 911 so emergency services and
traffic control can be routed to the site as soon as possible. If additional labor and equipment is
required, assistance may be requested from the NC DOT or other private contractors as necessary.
(2) Halt the source of the spill
Such as a rupture or container or damaged transport unit.
(3) Contain the spill
Form a barrier. Sufficient quantities of straw shall be used for such purposes. Earthen barriers may
be constructed to augment the straw bale containment area of the spill. The transporter or the person
in charge on the spill site will advise the clean-up personnel where to get the straw, lime and other
items necessary to complete the clean-up operation, i.e. local farmers, farm supply centers, nurseries,
etc.
(4) Clean-up
Employ front-end loaders, vacuum equipment, sludge application vehicles and/or local septic tank
service to remove as much of the spilled material as possible. Straw and/or sand should be scattered in
the spill area to soak up the remaining material. The straw -and -sand -soaked material will be collected
and removed to a disposal area approved by representatives of the state regulatory agency.
(5) Final Clean-up
Employ rotary brush sweeper if needed, and apply lime to the spill area. Clean up will be completed
to the satisfaction of the property owner and state regulatory representatives. The ultimate goal will be
to restore the area to its original condition if possible.
(6) Notification
As soon as possible after the spill occurs, the transporter will notify the TWSA Wastewater
Operations Staff at (828-586-9318) or if after hours the TWSA ON -Call employee at
(828-506-0681). The operator or on- call employee will notify the WWTP Superintendent.
(7) Reportine
The TWSA Superintendent or their designee will notify the Asheville Regional Office of the NCDENR
by telephone [phone]) as soon as possible, but not more than 24 hours after the occurrence. If
after hours, weekends or holiday the State Emergency Operations phone number (828-858-0368) shall
be used for notification. The transporter shall provide a written report within 48 hours of the spill to the
TWSA WWTP Superintendent detailing the information and actions taken related to the spill. TWSA
personnel will file a written report to the Asheville Regional office of the NCDENR within five days of the
spill occurrence.

Inspection Summary:
This site visit included a tour of the facility
Sludge from the other 3 facilites and WWTP#1 is mixed in the upper aerobic digester. The thickened sludge from the upper
digester is sent to the lower digester and mixed/aerated further. From here the sludge goes to the belt -press and then to
the dryer.
The maintenance/operation logs were good.
Dried sludge is stored in the silo. A Non -Hazardous Manifest is filled out each time the hauler comes to pick up residuals.
A Spill Control Plan is located on the back of the manifest. Soil Plus, Inc. is currently taking the sludge. Kinsland Trucking
out of Whittier, NC is hauling the product for Soil Plus (Scott Carpenter). In addition to the nutrient analysis performed by
Tuckaseigee, Mr. Carpenter has the product analyzed for nutrient content by A&L Eastern Labs.
Mr. Bryson indicated that he might need to send some product to the landfill to make room in the silo

TWSA
Operation and Maintenance Plan
For
Residual Operations
The residual operations at TWSA consist of the following main processes.
(a) Aerobic Digestion
When sludge is wasted from the sbrs it is routed to one of the two aerobic digestors. The upper digestor
(digestor #1) has a capacity of 285,000 gals. The lower digestor (digestor #2) has a capacity of 345,000
gals. The operator can route sludge flow to the digestors from the waste sludge pumps in the sbrs by
using the valves on the waste sludge line. The valves and associated sludge piping are shown on Sheet
C5 of the record drawings by McGill Assoc. dated 10/12/2012.
(b) Sludge Pump
The sludge pump for the belt press is a progressive cavity pump (type BN 52-6Ls/A1-C1-C6-F0-SA-X)
manufactured by Seepex Inc and rated for a pump rate of 100 gpm. The pump is located in the
basement of the sludge pump/reusewater pump building. The location of this building on the site is
shown on Sheet C3 of the record drawings by McGill Assoc. dated 10/12/2012. The details of the piping
are shown on Sheet M21 of the record drawings by McGill Assoc. dated 10/12/2012. All lubrication and
operation and maintenance of this equipment should adhere to the schedules set by Seepex Inc. These
procedures are documented in the operation and maintenance manual supplied to TWSA by Seepex and
dated September 2010.
(c) Belt Press
The belt press is a 1.0 meter capacity (model #GRS-1 Series III ) as manufactured by Komline-Sanderson.
The press is located in the bottom of the Lab/Dryer building. All lubrication and operation and
maintenance of this equipment should adhere to the schedules set by Komline-Sanderson. These
procedures are documented in the operation and maintenance manual supplied to TWSA by Komline-
Sanderson.
(d) Polymer System
The polymer system is a DynaBLEND model # L4S-1200-3P-13-3(Disc) supplied by Fluid Dynamics. The
pump is located in a corner of the dryer/press building adjacent to the belt press. All lubrication and
operation and maintenance of this equipment should adhere to the schedules set by Fluid Dynamics.
These procedures are documented in the operation and maintenance manual supplied to TWSA by Fluid
Dynamics.
(e) Sludge Conveyors
Information on screw conveyors and components can be found in the Fenton Operation and
Maintenance Manual.

(f) Sludge Storage Hopper
The sludge storage hopper is located between the belt press and the sludge dryer and is used for storing
dewatered sludge in preparation for batching to the dryer.
(g) Burner
The thermal fluid heater is manufactured by Fulton and is located adjacent to the dryer in the
dryer/press building. Complete technical specifications and operation and maintenance information can
be found in Volume 4 of the owner manuals supplied by Fenton to TWSA.
(h) Dryer
The dryer is a Fenix 48/10 manufactured by Fenton Environmental Technologies and is located in the
dryer/press building. Complete operation and maintenance information can be found in the four (4)
volume set supplied to TWSA by Fenton Environmental Technologies.
(i) Silo and Baghouse system
The Silo and Baghouse were manufactured and supplied to Fenton Environmental by GMD
Environmental Technologies of Fort Worth, Texas. Complete operation and maintenance information
can be found in volume three (3) of the four (4) volume set supplied to TWSA by Fenton Environmental
Technologies.

Belt Press Operations
• The belt press augers should be turned on and allowed to run. Controls for these augers are
accessed through the Allen Bradley Panel View Plus 1000 touch screen dryer panel.
• Turn control power on at the belt press panel. After a delay the alarm will sound. Hit reset
button to silence the alarm. Pull on the washwater pump, hydraulic pump and belt switch in
that order. Confirm that all equipment is operating properly.
• Turn polymer pump on at the DynaFlow pump control panel. Speed of the pump will be
adjusted based upon observations made at the press.
• Turn sludge pump on by pulling the sludge pump button on the belt filter control panel. Pump
feed rate is adjusted at the SPACP 550 panel located on the concrete column adjacent to the
belt press. When the polymer begins to form a good floc in the sludge, close valve on mixing
tank and write flow reading down on flow meter. Polymer feed rate and sludge feed rate should
be adjusted to contain all of the product in the pressure zone of the belt and to produce the
driest cake possible and still "turn loose" from the belt at the scraper above the auger.
• At the end of the shift or days run, reverse the start up procedure to shut down the press. The
daily log sheet has spaces for recording the hours operated and gallons of sludge dewatered.
Care should be taken to properly fill out all information so operations can be properly tracked.
• When it becomes necessary to change out a drum of polymer it is important to note the change
and the flow reading on the daily sheet. This info is used to calculate dewatering costs.

Dryer Operation
Dryer controls are all contained in the Allen Bradley Panel View Plus 1000 panel . Each day the dryer is
operated a Dryer Operations Daily Record should be completed. Dryer operations should be conducted
as follows:
• Dryer should be set to auto on touch panel screen. Record start time. Burner will activate and
start building temperature. When a pre -determined temperature is reached fill cycle will start.
• Record fill cycle start time.
• After the timed fill cycle is complete, dry cycle will start. Record dry cycle start time.
• Dry cycle timer will be on zero at dry cycle start time. Record temperatures as outlined on Daily
Record at 50 min intervals until end of dry cycle. (Approx. 200 mins)
• At the end of the dry cycle, the discharge cycle will start. Discharge cycle will last approx. 10 min
and a new fill cycle will start.
• When the last batch of sludge to be dried for the day is in the dryer, set control mode to
Automatic Cool Down. This will prevent another batch from being loaded to the dryer and at the
end of the cycle the dryer will go into cool down mode in preparation of shutting down.
Silo and Baghouse Operation
The controls of the baghouse should be set to auto on the panel adjacent to the silo. When the dryer
discharges a batch to the silo the baghouse blower will automatically come on and keep dust from being
discharged to the atmosphere. Periodic cleaning of the dust bin on the baghouse is required, this is
accomplished by placing the backhoe bucket under the chute and opening the slide gate to allow dust
to slide into the bucket. Some tapping on the side of the hopper with a rubber mallet may be required
to loosen the accumulated dust.

Sampling Procedures
Daily sampling should be conducted in various points throughout the process to track and to verify
compliance with permitted values. Plant operators shall be responsible for taking samples at the proper
times and at the designated locations.
Daily
• At least once per day a sample of the raw sludge feed to the belt press should be taken. This
sample should be a composite of several samples taken at different times during the day. This
sample should be obtained from the sample port at the intake to the raw sludge pump in the
basement of the reuse water/sludge pump building. This sample should be kept in a container
with an airtight lid until analyzed to prevent evaporation.
• At least once per day a sample of the dewatered sludge cake should be taken from the belt filter
press. This sample should be a composite of several samples taken at different times during the
day. This sample should be kept in a container with an air tight lid until analyzed to prevent
evaporation.
Each batch of sludge discharged from the dryer should be sampled. This sample can be
obtained after the discharge of each batch from the sampling port on the side of the discharge
auger. This sample is hot when first obtained from the auger and should be allowed to cool
before being bagged.
All of the above samples should be weighed and dried overnight in order to obtain total % solids
values. Reference should be made to the laboratory SOP manual for proper procedures for
analysis for total % solids. Operators will be provided training in the proper procedures for
sampling, storage and analysis of samples before they are expected to conduct analysis.
Quarterly
Quarterly sampling should be conducted on a representative sample of the dried residuals. This sample
analysis is contracted with Pace Analytical of Asheville NC, and should be sampled, preserved and
delivered to them within their required parameters. The following analysis should be conducted on this
sample.

* A total of at least seven (7) coliform samples should be analyzed annually.

Annually
Annually, a TCLP(toxicity characteristic leaching procedure) should be conducted on a representative
sample of the dried residual. This sample analysis is also conducted by Pace Analytical.

Truck Loading Operations
Trucks to be loaded with bioresidual should pull through under the silo. Drivers will be responsible for
positioning of their trucks and plant operators will be responsible for loading operations. The storage
silo control panel is located at the top of the stairs on the silo. This should be switched to the on position
to enable the dust collector blower and chute controls to work. The valve on the green air piping to the
rotary valve dispenser on the silo should be in the open position during truck loading operations. The
operator should lower the end of the chute to the bed of the truck and then switch on the rotary valve
dispenser. The shorter distance residuals have to fall from the end of the chute to the bed of the truck
dramatically lessens the amount of dust escaping during the loading process.
Paperwork
All users of the bioresiduals must sign and date a Utilization Agreement before taking or
possessing the product. This agreement between TWSA and the end user must be signed and
dated within one year by both parties.
The hauler or transporter should be given a copy of the signed shipping manifest. The manifest
should include an estimated tonnage and should list contact info for the generator and the user
along with contact info on the trucking company with places for the generator, hauler and end
user to sign. Info as to the proper procedures and safeguards should an accident or spill occur
should be included on the manifest.

Alice,
I didn't realize the frequency for TCLP in this permit went from Annual to Quarterly with the permit modification in
10/2010. 1 discovered this when I did their inspection two weeks ago; did not catch it in the Draft review either. They
have been landfilling their residuals for the last two years so it has just become an issue. Should it have jumped so
drastically? Inquiring on behalf of the permittee as this is a very expensive test.

There was a mistake in this permit. This should have been included in the permit:
Once the residuals have been monitored for two years at the frequency specified in Attachment A,
the Permittee may submit a permit modification request to reduce the frequency of this monitoring
requirement. In no case shall the monitoring frequency be less than once per permit cycle.
Thanks for catching it. I will need to issue a permit correction but I wonder how that would work since this is
from 2010. I can ask Jon.

Hi Alice,
The subject permittee is inquiring about reduced monitoring for TCLP. Currently they are required to monitor
quarterly. Most permits have language about reduced monitoring and this one does for residuals but not TCLP. Do you
think the language is referring to TCLP as well as residuals? This might be a question for Chonticha or Ed but I thought I
would start with you as the permit writer; feel free to pass along to right person.
Hope you are doing well and thanks for your help as always.

Alternative 5 - Process To Further Reduce Pathogens
PFRP Composting
• Were the within -vessel method or static aerated pile methods used?
Was the residuals temperature maintained at 55°C (131T) or higher for three consecutive days or longer
in the within -vessel method or static aerated pile method?
OR
• Was the windrow composting method. used?
Was the residuals temperature maintained at 550C or higher for 15 consecutive days or longer in the
windrow method, and the windrow turned a minimum of five times during this time?
Pvlt iIg
• Was the residuals dried by direct or indirect with hot gases and moisture content of residuals reduced to
10% or lower?
• Did the temperature of the residuals or the of the wet bulb temperature of the gas in contact with the
residuals as they leave the dryer exceed 80°C (176T)?
PFRP Heat Treatment
• Were the residuals liquid during treatment?
• Were the residuals heated to a temperature of 180°C (356°F) or higher, for 30 minutes?
PFRP Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion
• Were the residuals liquid -'during treatment?
• Was it an aerobic process with agitation?
• Was the mean cell residence time 10 consecutive days. at 55°C (131T) to 60°C (140T)?
PFRP Beta Ray Irradiation
• Were residuals radiated with beta rays at dosages of at least 1.0 megarad at room temperature
[approximately 20°C (68°F)]?
PFRP Gamma Ray Irradiation
• Were residuals radiated with gamma rays from certain isotopes, such as Cobalt 60 and Cesium 137; at
dosages of at least 1.0 megarad at room temperature [approximately 20°C (68°F)]?
PFRP Pasteurization
. • Was the temperature of the residuals maintained at 70°C (158T) for 30 minutes or longer?

Subject: 2010 Annual Report Certification Forms
Stan,
You need to fill out the Distribution Of Residual Solids Certification Form that we discussed during the inspection. The
Form can be found on our web -site http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/aps/lau/reporting Go to Land Application,
Reporting Forms, Residuals, For Permits issued after September 1, 2006, Form DMSDF. Let me know if you have any
questions.
Inspection question update: It sounds like it would depend on the contract between you and the hauler. Under the
current scenario, the responsibility would probably fall on the hauler as they are accepting responsibility for the
residuals after it leaves the plant.
And when you start distributing under your renewed permit, you will have a utilization agreement that will be signed by
the person agreeing to accept and distribute the residuals. The permit does say that the utilization agreement shall be
signed by the permittee and the person responsible for application. That person should be responsible for applying
residuals at agronomic rates. The permit also says the generator shall provide information on the proper use of the
residuals including recommended application rates. The applicator also has to provide all third parties receiving bulk
residuals with documentation specifying that application shall occur consistent with the agreement. So it sounds like it
will be the responsibility of the person signing the agreement. But, I suppose this interpretation could be argued
differently in court.
I will help you as much as I can when you put your utilization agreement together.

Dear Mr. Cline:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the inspection
conducted on May 17, 2011. The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit WQ0005763.
As you know, your permit was renewed October 8, 2010. The renewed permit includes the "2T"
Rules as referenced in the cover page. Three issues that were noted during the inspection relating to the
new permit include: 1) Permit Condition 111.3. - Operation & Maintenance Plan. 2) Permit Condition 111.4. —
Utilization Agreement; both of these documents will need to be generated. 3) Bulk residuals are defined
as quantities greater than 1.02 short tons or one metric ton. The plant upgrades do not include a set of
scales. Please keep in mind that a method for determining weight of residuals distributed will be
needed as several permit conditions are dependent upon whether a distribution is considered a "bulk"
distribution.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. The
assistance of Mr. Stan Bryson was greatly appreciated during the inspection. If you or your staff has any
questions, please call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Beverly rice

TWSA Class A EQ Residuals Production Facility and Distribution Program
Jackson County
Dear Mr. Cline: .
A review of TWSA' Class A EQ Residuals Production Facility and Distribution Program's
Annual Report for 2007 showed the facility did not met the Vector Attraction Reduction
(VAR) requirements on three occasions. Option 6 was chosen as the method to verify
VAR: The requirements of Option 6 are to raise the pH of the sludge to at least 12,
maintain it at 12 for 2 hours without the addition of more alkali. And- maintain a pH of at
least 11.5 without addition of ,more alkali for an additional 22 hours. The 24 hour pH
measurement was: not documented on 9/7/07 and 11/8/07. The pH was not raised to 12
on 11 /19/07.
To prevent further :action, carefully review the violations and deficiencies noted above
and respond in writing to this office within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this
letter. You should address the causes of noncompliance and all actions taken to prevent
the recurrence of similar situations.

Dear Mr Cline:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the inspection
that I conducted on February 7, 2007. The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit
WQ0005763.
The following recommendation is offered regarding the operations log (Lime Stabilization Daily
Log) for the Class A facility: the entry time for residuals into the pasteurization vessel is documented;
the Daily Log should also document the exit time from the pasteurization vessel.
Please refer to .the enclosed inspection report (Inspection Summary Page 2) for additional
observations and comments. If you or your staff has any questions, please call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Beverly Price

Permit: WQ0005763 Owner - Facility: Tuckaseigee Water & Sewer Authority
Inspection Date: 02/07/2007 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The inspection included a records review and tour of the facilities. Further review of the records will be conducted when
the 2006 Annual Report is received. Records appeared to be in order and accurate.
There were no Class A residuals produced in 2006. All residuals produced in 2006 were sent to RB Landfill in Homer, Ga.
Class A residuals were last produced in March 2005, prior to renewal of permit. Renewed permit(August 26, 2005) has
TCLP requirements while the old permit did not. Those residuals distributed in 2006 were produced under the old permit
requirements. There was no TCLP data for the residuals distributed in 2006.
It is recommended that "time out' data be added to the Lime Stabilization Daily Log sheet for Pathogen Reduction
Pasturization Temperatures.

Subject: Sludge spill by hauler at TWSA Plant #1
Ms. Price,
H ECIEW WED
AUG 2 4 2006
Asheville Regional Office
_ ��tai{er i'rofeclion ✓
The Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority uses private haulers to haul municipal sludge
to a landfill in Georgia. On the evening of Tue Aug. 15th, we loaded a truck owned by
Banks Trucking of Asheville, with approx 25 tons of sludge. As the driver was leaving the
loading station the rear of the trailer slid off an embankment and turned the truck and
trailer over on its side. Fortunately no one was hurt in the accident, but as you can see by
the pictures taken that evening the cleanup was quite a challenge.
Twsa employees worked until 10:30 on the evening of the 15th to remove sludge from in
and around the mouth of a culvert at the site of the spill. Due to the dryness of the sludge
(approx. 20%), this material did not run into the culvert where it could have been washed
to a drainage ditch. and eventually to the Tuckaseigee River. Upon securing the area
around the culverta decision was made to wait until daylight to finish removal and
cleanup.
On Wed. Aug 16, TWSA employees worked to load the sludge on our truck and haul it
back up on the pad. Residual left on the asphalt was washed down the drive, past the silo
in the picture, to a drain that leads back to the influent to the plant. Cleanup of the area
around the asphalt required removing some of the topsoil. This area was topdressed with
clean dirt and lime and straw was added to prevent erosion. This was all accomplished by
four o'clock on Wed Aug 16th and the cleanup was declared complete.
I am extremely gratified by the way that TWSA employees rose to the occasion. I had
been very concerned that afternoon thunderstorms might cause heavy rains which would
not only have made cleanup more difficult but could have resulted in sludge being washed
to the river. Thanks to the dedication of our employees, a difficult job was handled in a
speedy -and efficient manner.

If you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Permit No. WQ0005763
Dear Mr. Joshi,
The Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority received the permit for Class A EQ
Residuals (WQ0005763). We are in agreement with all of the conditions as set forth 'in the
permit except for Conditon I. 1.
This condition requires us to provide the pad with an overhead cover within 180 calendar
days of issuance of the permit. We respectfully ask that this condition be waived or the
time frame extended for the following reasons:
We are currently entering into negotiations with the State of North Carolina, Div. of
Water Quality for an Special Order of Consent (SOC) for the TWSA Plarit #1 (NPDES
#NC0039579). We believe that the SOC might be ready to implement by the end of Dec.
2005.
As part of this negotiation, upgrades to the sludge facility and the plant itself are being
contemplated. The costs to cover the existing pad are substantial and I am reluctant to
build a cover over an area that might be needed for plant expansion. The current
treatment scheme for both Wastewater and Residuals will be evaluated so that a pertinent
and effective plan for expansion can be implemented. We respectfully submit that we be
allowed to develop the details of this plan before implementation of Condition I.1.

Your thoughts and direction on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thank y in advanc

Dear Mr. King:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from
the inspection conducted on June 22, 2005. Beverly Price of the Asheville Regional
Office conducted the Compliance Evaluation Inspection. The facility was found to be in
Compliance with permit WQ0005763.
The following items should be addressed with regard to the Annual Report: 1) It is
recommended that the laboratory results (from contract labs) be included in the Annual
Report. 2) All metals results should be included on the Residuals Sampling Summary
Form in the Annual Report. 3) Aluminum was not included in the 2004 residuals
analysis. Additionally, the Authority should begin working toward obtaining a certified
back-up operator for the residuals program,.as this is a requirement of the permit.
The assistance of Mr. Stan Bryson was greatly appreciated during the inspection.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments.
If you or your staff has any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500 Ext.4685.

Inspection Summary:
The inspection consisted of a tour of the facilities and a records review. The facility appeared to be well maintained and operated.
Finished product is stored on a concrete pad. Any leachate is directed back to the head of the WWTP for treatment.
Class A residuals were last produced in March '05. At the present time, residuals are being land filled.
The facility should begin working toward getting a certified back-up operator as this is a permit condition.
It is reccommended that the laboratory results ( from contract labs) be included in the Annual Report. In addition, all metals results
should be included on the Residuals Sampling Summary Form in the Annual Report. Aluminum was missing from the residuals
analysis.

Waste products must be disposed of in ways that protect the environment. The keys to proper disposal include analyzing the waste product and planning application rates
based on agronomic requirements. The Waste Analysis Report provides information necessary to use these materials as a resource while protecting the environment.
Sample Info This section contains sample identifiers, specifically the sample identification number, waste code, and description. These data are
supplied by the grower on the information sheet submitted with each. sample.
iratory Results Wastes can be analyzed for up to 20 elements. Routine analysis includes most of the nutrients that are essential for plant growth—
N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B and Na, Other elements may be analyzed if they are potentially harmful to soil or plants when allowed to increase to
excessive levels, For example, when the waste is a by-product from a municipality or industry, the heavy metals Cd, Ni and Pb are routinely included in the
analysis. Upon request and if conditions warrant, certain waste types can also be tested for Al, Cl, Li and Mo. Results are reported in parts per million, If the
sample is a compost oir compost ingredient, values for pH, SS, and C:N are reported; pH values are also reported for all liquid animal waste samples. DM%
is reported for all dry waste samples. CCE% and ALE are reported for waste products that have neutralizing value.
Recommendations This section can have three parts: (1) Nutrients Available for First Crop based on application method; (2) Other Elements that may
impact application; and (3) agronomic comments indicating precautions that should be taken when using the waste.
(1) Predictions of nutrients available for the first crop are based on estimates of mineralization rate and nutrient loss, depending on application method.
Estimates are reported in Ibs/ton for solid wastes and Ibs/1000 gallons for liquid wastes. "T" indicates that an element is present in a "trace"
quantity (< 0.005 lb per measured unit).
Within the first month after waste application, 50 to 75% of the nutrient quantities listedwill become available for the crop, Therefore, plan to apply
wastes near the time that plants will require nutrients, The remaining nutrients gradually become available over the next three months,
Nutrients not available for the first crop are mineralized to available forms over time, usually years. Certain nutrients, such as Zn and Cu, may
accumulate in the soil in significant quantities. If waste is routinely applied, monitor nutrient accumulation with soil tests at least once every two
years. Some cropping systems and metal levels may necessitate annual soil samples as well.
ALE and CCE% are reported for wastes that may have neutralizing value. ALE indicates the amount of the waste product required to equal 1 ton of
good quality agricultural lime (CCE%=90). If waste materials have significant neutralizing value, apply them only at rates necessary to optimize pH.
For flexibility, the information sheet allows two choices for application method. Predictions of available nutrients are based on the type of waste and
the method of application. If you decide to change the application method after the analysis is complete, contact the Agronomic Division at (919) 733-
2655 for a revised recommendation.
(2) Quantities of other elements that may have an impact on the environment—Na, Ni, Cd, Pb, Al and Li —indicate the likelihood of harmful buildup in
the soil. Like nutrients, they are reported in lbs/ton for solid wastes and lbs/1000 gallons for liquid wastes,
(3) The recommendations section may include agronomic comments when warranted. These provide general information on the waste product and alert
the user when plant nutrients or heavy metals are high enough to warrant special precautions when applying the waste. For diagnostic samples, site -
specific recommendations are provided based on information sheet data. The more thoroughly the problem and its unique conditions are described
on the information sheet, the more pertinent and site specific the recommendations will be,

As per our phone conversation of April 3, I have compiled the following:
(1) Please find attached a check in the amount of $205.00 dollars made payable to NCDENR
to cover the fee for modification of the permit. Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority
hereby requests that the permit be written for an annual sludge production of 250 dry tons.
(2) I have included the annual sludge production totals and the distrubution and marketing
summary for 2000 and 2001.
(3) A materials handling overview addressing the information requested on page 7 of the permit
renewal application along with an waste analysis report for the residuals that we have
incorporated into an information leaflet to be given to all users of the residuals.
and,
(4) A letter from the Executive Director of the Authority designating signatory authority
As we discussed on the phone, a cover for the pad where residuals are stored would be a great
help in keeping the product dry and more easily worked with. We are currently obtaining
estimates from contractors for budget purposes but we are also beginning to start the process of
expanding the wastewater treatment facility. I feel it would be prudent if we finalized any
expansion plans before committing funds to cover a pad that is in an area thay may be needed' for
the expansion.

processing and found to meet the enteric virus and viable helminth ova levels listed under "4" below, then the
processed residuals will be Class A with respect to enteric viruses and viable helminth ova when the operating
parameters for the pathogen reduction process are monitored and shown to be consistent with the values or ranges
of values documented..
4. no pjjor testing for Enteric Vinis[Viable Helm Dth (ova - if the residuals are not analyzed before pathogen reduction
processing for enteric viruses and viable hehninth ova, the density of enteric viruses must be less than 1 pfu/4 g of
total dry solids and the density of viable helminth ova must be less than 1/4 g of total dry solids, or the residuals
must be treated by a "Process to Further Reduce Pathogens" or a "Process to Further Reduce Pathogens" equivalent .
process.
S. 7be "Processes to Further Reduce Pathogens" (PFRP) are described as follows:
a. imp s in a - 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 minimum of five
turnings of the windrow.
b. Heat Drying - 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 exceeds 800 C or
the wet bulb temperature of the gas in contact with the residuals, when the residuals leave the dryer, exceeds
800 C.
c. Heat Treatment - liquid residuals are heated to a temperature of 1800 C or higher for thirty minutes.
d. Thermoohilic Aerobic Digestion - 1im,;rt dL'a.S are a�iwu.0
resi t gmatea 'With .�.-....., u 4i� or oxygen in maintain aembiC conciruonr
at residence times of ten days at temperatures of 55o C to 600 C.
e. Beta Ray Irradiation - residuals are irradiated with beta rays from an accelerator at dosages of at least 1.0
megarad at room temperature (ca. 200 Q.
f. Gamma Ray Irradiation - residuals are irradiated with gamma rays from certain isotopes such as 60Co and
137Ce, at dosages of at least 1.0 megarad at room temperature (ca. 200 Q.
0Pasteurization - the temperature of the residuals is maintained at 700 C or higher for at least thirty minutes.
0
6. The residuals shall be treated in a process that is equivalent to a "Processes to Further Reduce Pathogens" (PFRP),
as determined by the permitting authority based on evaluations of the recommendations provided by the Pathogen
Equivalency Committee.
2. When residuals are to be sold or given away, one of the following vector attraction reduction requirements (a, b, c, d, e, f,
g, or h) described below must be met.
Specify the letter of the vector attraction reduction requirement that has been met (submit lab results, test results and
calculations). Any variation of the below must be described in full detail and attached.
a.... Aerobic or Anaerobic Dia _scion - The mass of volatile solids are reduced by at least 38%. Volatile solids reduction is
measured between the residuals, prior to stabilization, and the residuals ready for use or disposal. This criterion should
be readily met by properly designed and operated anaerobic digestors, but not as readily met by aerobic digestors.
Treatment facilities with aerobic digestors may need to meet the vector attraction reduction requirement through 19c or
19d. .
FORM: DRS 06/94 Paae 6 of 8

b. Anaerobic D�?estion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be
demonstrated y further digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals in a bench scale unit for an additional
40 days at 302 C to 37° C_ If, at the end of the 40 days, the volatile solids are reduced by Iess than 179c, vector
attraction reduction is achieved.
c. Aerobic igue�,ion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be demonstrated
by further digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals that have a solids content of 290 or less in a bench
scale unit for an additional 30 days at 201 C. If, at the end of the 30 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than
15%, vector attraction reduction is achieved.
d- Aerobic Digestion - The specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) shall be equal to or less than 1.5 milligrams of oxygen
per hour per gram of total dry solids at 20" C.
e. Aer is Proce .ses - The temperature of the residuals for at least 14 days shall be greater than 400 C. During this time,
the avenue temperature shall be greater than 451 C.
f. Ikaline Stabilization - The pH of the residuals is raised to 12 or higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of
more alkali, remains at 12 or higher for 2 hours and then at 11.5 or higher for an additional 22 hours.
g_ Drvino (stabilized Solids) - The total solids of residuals that do not contain unstabilized solids, and which are generated
in a primary %wastewater treatment process, shall be equal to or greater than 75%. Blending with other materials is not
allowed to achieve the total solids percentage.
h. Drying (unsia ili solids) - The total solids of residuals that contains unstabilized solids, and which are venerated m a
primary wastewater treatment process, shall be equal to or greater than 9017c. Blending with other materials is not
allowed to achieve the total solids percentage.

Materials Handling Overview
Tuckaseigee Water & Sewer Authority
Residuals are being generated at the following locations:
TWSA Plant #1(NC0039578)
97.48 dry tons*
TWSA Plant 92(NC0020214)
29.82 dry tons*
TWSA Plant #3(NC0063321)
19.04 dry tons*
*residuals production for the year 2000
All residuals generated at TWSA Plants 2 & 3 were trucked in liquid form to the digestor
at Plant 41 where they were combined with the residuals generated at Plant #1. This
residual source was then sampled for TCLP and then dewatered and treated with lime to
meet the requirements of the permit and 503 regulations.
Residuals thus treated are then stored on a concrete pad at the facility. Leachate and
runoff from this pad are returned to the head of the plant for treatment. The length of time
residuals are stored varies due to the time of year. Farmers using the product typically use
more at the start of the growing season and in the fall after hay has been harvested.
The product is usually distributed in bulk in user supplied spreader trucks. The annual
distribution and marketing summary for the year 2000 is attached with the application for
your review.

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

Inspection Date: 04/23/2018 Inspection Type : Technical Assistance Reason for Visit: Other
Inspection Summary:
The purpose of the technical assistance site visit was to split a biosolids (Class A) sample with the facility. The inspection
was conducted by Beverly Price & Mikal Willmer of the ARO. Mr. Stan Bryson assisted with the inspection. Fecal coliform
samples were collected from the residuals silo. One sample was sent to PACE Analytical and the other sample was
analyzed at the Asheville Regional Office lab.
The ARO laboratory result was 1.8 MPN Index/100 Method Reference SM 20th ed 9221C. This sample was for technical
assistance to determine analytical consistency. It is recommended that additional split sampling, a 3-way split if possible,
be conducted.
It is recommended that the fecal coliform sample be collected as it exits the storage silo. This recommendation is based on
the information provided in the Environmental Regulations and Technology Control of Pathogens and Vector Attraction in
Sewage Sludge (aka the "White House Manual") guidance document provided by the EPA. The references in the "White
House Manual" can be found in the following sections: Chapter 4: Class A Pathogen Requirements, Section 4.3: Monitoring
of Fecal Coliform.
Chapter 7: Processes to Further Reduce Pathogens (PFRPs), Section 7.3: Heat Drying, Microbiological Requirements.

Permit: W00005763 Owner - Facility: Tuckaseigee Water & Sewer Authority
Inspection Date: 10/31/2018 Inspection Type: Annual Report Review Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The inspection consisted of a review of the 2017 Annual Report. The review was conducted by Beverly Price of the Asheville
Regional Office.
294 dry tons of residuals were distributed in 2017. Based on the volume distributed in 2017, 1/year monitoring was required
for metals, nutrients and 'pathogen & vector attraction reduction (VAR).
Residuals were monitored for metals/nutrients/TCLP/Ignitability/Corrosivity/Reactivity - Analytical results appeared to be
compliant with permit conditions. TCLP monitoring is required annually.
Pathogen Reduction is verified using Fecal Coliform Density: requirements were met. Five compliance (collected from the
silo) samples were collected; one sample was run out of hold time.
Pathogen Reduction is verified using Alternative #5 Process to Futher Reduce Pathogens - PFRP Heat Drying —
Requirements: Moisture Content: 10% or lower when residuals are dried by indirect or direct contact with hot gases.
Temperature Requirement: 80 degrees C (176 degrees F) for residuals or the wet bulb temperature of the gas in contact with
the residuals as the residuals leave the dryer:
Residuals met the requirement for percent (10%) moisture reduction.
The documented dryer temperatures for residuals leaving the dryer were met less than 1/2 of the dryer runs.
Vector traction_Reduction is verifieausi'n'g-Option-8--0rying-of-ldrtstabillzed Residuals - Requirements: Solids content is
90% or greater.
Division approved Forms should be used for reporting.
Annual Pathogen and Vector Attraction Reduction Form: Do not calculate or report the Geometric Mean for fecal coliform
analyses. The Geometric Mean is used to determine compliance for fecal coliform bacteria analyses for Class B residuals.
Class A residuals require all samples to be <1000 MPN/gram of total solids. Do not report process control results on this
Form. Please include the Analytical Method on this Form.
Sampling Guidance for Pathogen/Vector Attraction Reduction:
The EPA Environmental Regulations and Technology, Control of Pathogens and Vector Attraction in Sewage Sludge
guidance document (also known as the White House Manual (WHM))does not specify the number of samples that must be
analyzed for compliance with Class A microbiological parameters, however, it strongly recommends multiple samples per
sampling event. The number of samples taken must be sufficient to adequately represent biosolids quality.
Please review the WHM Chapter 4 - Class A Pathogen Requirements, Section 4.3. Monitoing of Fecal Coliform to Detect
Growth of Bacterial Pathogens; Chapter 7 - Processes to Futher Reduce Pathogens, Sections 7.1 Introduction, 7.3 Heat
Drying; Chapter 9 - Sampling Procedures and Analytical Methods, Section 9.5 Sampling Frequency and Number of Samples
Collected, Section 9.8 Sampling Dry Sewage Sludges; Chapter 10 - Meeting the Quantitative Requirements of the
Regulation, Section 10.1 Introduction, Section 10.3 Schedule and Duration of Monitoring Event, Section 10.7 Regulatory
Objectives and Number of Samples that Should be Tested.
For process control samples used for Percent Solids: If samples are re -set, the results of the two samples should be
averaged.
For Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) calculations: sodium, calcium and magnesium should be converted from mg/kg to
mg/I in order to determine milli equivalents.

Inspection Summary:
This site visit included a tour of the facility.
Sludge from the other 3 facilites and WWTP#1 is mixed in the upper aerobic digester. The thickened sludge from the upper
digester is sent to the lower digester and mixed/aerated further. From here the sludge goes to the belt -press and then to the
dryer.
The maintenance/operation logs were good.
Dried sludge is stored in the silo. A Non -Hazardous Manifest is filled out each time the hauler comes to pick up residuals.
A Spill Control Plan is located on the back of the manifest. Soil Plus, Inc. is currently taking the sludge. Kinsland Trucking
out of Whittier, NC is hauling the product for Soil Plus (Scott Carpenter). In addition to the nutrient analysis performed by
Tuckaseigee, Mr. Carpenter has the product analyzed for nutrient content by A&L Eastern Labs.
Mr. Bryson indicated that he might need to send some product to the landfill to make room in the silo.

Belt Press Operations
• The belt press augers should be turned on and allowed to run. Controls for these augers are _.
accessed through the Allen Bradley Panel View Plus 1000 touch screen dryer panel.
• Turn control power on at the belt press panel. After a delay -the alarm will sound. Hit reset
button to silence the alarm. Pull on the washwater pump, hydraulic pump and belt switch in
that order. Confirm that all equipmentis operating properly.
• Turn polymer pump on at the DynaFlow pump control panel. Speed of the pump will be
adjusted based upon observations made at the press.
• Turn sludge pump on by pulling the sludge pump button on the belt filter control panel. Pump
feed rate is adjusted at the SPACP 550 panel located on the concrete column adjacent to the
belt press. When the polymer begins to form a good floc in the sludge, close valve on mixing
tank and write flow reading down on flow meter. Polymer feed rate and sludge feed rate should
be adjusted to contain all of the product in the pressure zone of the belt and to produce the
driest cake possible and still "turn loose" from the belt at the scraper above the auger.
• At the end of the shift or days run, reverse the start up procedure to shut down the press. The
daily log sheet has spaces for recording the ,hours operated and gallons of sludge. dewatered.
Care should be taken to properly fill out all information so operations can be properly tracked.
• When it becomes necessary to change out a drum of polymer it.is important to note the change
and the flow reading on the daily sheet. This info is used to calculate dewatering costs.

s`
Dryer Operation
A
Dryer controls are all contained in the Allen Bradley Panel View Plus 1000 panel .'Each day the dryer is
operated a Dryer. Operations Daily Record should be completed. Dryer operations should be conducted
as follows:
• Dryer should be set to auto on touch panel screen. Record start time. Burner will activate and
start building temperature. When a pre -determined temperature is reached fill cycle will start.
• Record fill cycle start time.
• After the timed fill cycle is complete, dry cycle will start. Record dry cycle start time.
• Dry cycle timer will be on zero at dry cycle start time. Record temperatures as outlined on Daily
Record at 50 min intervals until end of dry cycle. (Approx. 200 miss)
• At the end of the dry cycle, the discharge cycle will start. Discharge cycle will last approx. 10 min
and a new fill cycle will start.
• When the last batch of sludge to be dried for the day is in the dryer, set control mode to
Automatic Cool Down. This will prevent another batch from being loaded to the dryer and at the
end of the cycle the dryer will go into cool down mode in preparation of shutting down.
Silo and Baghouse Operation. '
The controls of the baghouse should be set to auto on the panel adjacent to the silo. When the dryer
discharges a batch to the silo the baghouse blower will automatically come on and keep dust from being
discharged to the atmosphere. Periodic cleaning of the dust bin on the baghouse is required, this is
accomplished by placing the backhoe bucket under the chute and opening the slide gate to allow dust
to slide into the bucket. Some tapping on the side of the hopper with a rubber mallet may be required -
to loosen the accumulated dust.

Yti
sampling Procedures
Daily sampling should be conducted in various points throughout the process to track and verify
compliance with permitted values.
At least once per day a sample of the raw sludge feed to the belt press should be taken. This
sample should be a composite of several samples t.aken at different times during the day. This
sample should be obtained from the sample port at the intake to the raw sludge pump in the
basement of the reuse water/sludge pump building. This sample should be kept in a container
with an air tight lid until analyzed to prevent evaporation.
At least once per day a sample of the dewatered sludge cake should be taken from the belt filter
press. This sample should.be a composite of several samples taken at different times during the
day. This sample should be kept in a container with an air tight lid until analyzed to prevent
evaporation.
Each batch of sludge discharged from the dryer should be sampled. This sample can be
obtained after the discharge of each batch from the sampling port on the side of the discharge
auger. This sample is hot when first obtained from the auger and should be allowed, to cool
before being bagged.
• All of the above samples should be weighed and dried overnight in order to obtain total % solids
values. Operators will be provided training in the proper procedures for sampling, storage and
analysis of samples before they are expected to conduct analysis.

Truck Loading Operations
Trucks to be loaded with bioresidual should pull through under the silo. Drivers will be responsible for
positioning of their trucks and plant operators will be responsible for loading operations. The storage
silo control panel is located at the top of the stairs on the silo. This should be switched to the on position
to enable the dust collector blower and chute controls to work. The valve on the green air piping theThe
operator should lower the end of the chute to the bed of the truck and then switch on the rotary valve
dispenser. The shorter distance residuals have to fall from the end of the chute to the bed of the truck
dramatically lessens the amount of dust escaping during the loading process.
Paperwork
• All users of the bioresiduals must sign and date a Utilization Agreement before taking or
possessing the product. This agreement between TWSA and the end user must be signed and
dated within one year by both parties.
• The hauler or transporter should be given a copy of the signed shipping manifest. The manifest
should include an estimated tonnage and should list contact info for the generator and the user
along with contact info on the trucking company with places for the generator, hauler and end
user to sign. Info as to the proper procedures and safeguards should an accident or spill occur
should be included on the manifest.

Utilization Agreement
a. By signature and agreeing to accept the bulk class A residuals it is recognized that the
application of Class A residuals is allowed under the conditions of this agreement. The
application of these Class A residuals is considered the beneficial reuse of a waste under 15A
NCAC 02T.1100. The application of these Class A Residuals to the land has been deemed
permitted under 15A NCAC.1103 (4) provided the conditions of this agreement are met. Any
action resulting in the damages to surface waters or groundwater caused by failure to follow
the conditions of the agreement is subject to enforcement action by the NC Division of Water
Quality.
b. The person or entity accepting the Class A residuals shall to the best of their knowledge meet
the following application requirements:
i. Application of the bulk residuals will stop if it becomes known that the
application adversely affects a threatened or endangered species listed under
section 4 of the Endangered Species Act or its designated critical habitat.
ii. Application of the bulk residuals shall not occur when the land is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered or is otherwise in a condition such that runoff of the residuals would

Inspection Summary:
This site visit included a tour of the facility.
Sludge from the other 3 facilites and WWTP#1 is mixed in the upper aerobic digester. The thickened sludge from the upper
digester is sent to the lower digester and mixed/aerated further. From here the sludge goes to the belt -press and then to the
dryer.
The maintenance/operation logs were good.
Dried sludge is stored in the silo. A Non -Hazardous Manifest is filled out each time the hauler comes to pick up residuals.
A Spill Control Plan is located on the back of the manifest. Soil Plus, Inc. is currently taking the sludge. Kinsland Trucking
out of Whittier, NC is hauling the product for Soil Plus (Scott Carpenter). In addition to the nutrient analysis performed by
Tuckaseigee, Mr. Carpenter has the product analyzed for nutrient content by A&L Eastern Labs.
Mr. Bryson indicated that he might need to send some product to the landfill to make room in the silo.

Subject: RE: Fecal Coliform in Sludge Holding Time Clarification
The 503 regs are the most outdated convoluted muckity muck I have ever seen. I have implored EPA to clean them up.
I agree that the footnote only applies to those methods and Classes of biosolids.
Page 70 of the White House book; however, prescribes 24 hours for SM 9221E and 9222 D but references the 1992 SM
Compendium.
I am curious if Bev has an EPA contact she could get a ruling from?

Subject: Fecal Coliform in Sludge Holding Time Clarification
Hey guys. Bev Price, who deals with residuals (sludge) in our office brought this question to me. 40 CFR 136.6 Table II,
Footnote 23 states: For fecal coliform samples for sewage sludge (biosolids) only, the holding time is extended to 24
hours for the following sample types using either EPA Method 1680 (LTB—EC) or 1681 (A-1): Class A composted, Class B
aerobically digested, and Class B anaerobically digested.

So Bev's question is, does this mean that the 24 hour holding time does not apply to sludge treated by other methods
(e.g., dryers, lime stabilization, etc.). Would a sludge treated by a method not listed be required to be analyzed within 8
hours? Bev also showed me this - https://19ianuarV2017snapshot.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-
06/documents/biosoIids htstudy final 2006.pdf
Take a look at that and scroll down to page 20 of the overall pdf, which is page 10 of the report, for the study results. For
the three options that 40 CFR says are allowed a 24 hour holding time, it says that there are no significant differences
when extending the holding time. It says that there are significant differences for the other sludge treatment methods
(dryer, lime stabilization, etc.). So it appears that this study is what the footnote in 40 CFR is based upon.
One other question would be, is the 24 hour holding time only applicable when EPA methods 1680 or 1681 are used?
Because we also allow a 24 hour holding time for SM 9221 C E-2006 (which is essentially equivalent to EPA 1680) and SM
9222 D-2006.
So what do you guys think? I want to say that we have discussed this as a group before, but I couldn't find any emails.

Subject: Notice of Deficiency
Permit No. WQ0005763
Class A EQ Residuals Production Facility & Distribution Program
Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority
Jackson County
Dear Ms Price,
The Notice of Deficiency (Tracking # NOD-2018-PC-0115) received by TWSA did not
state that a written response was required. I felt however that I should point out that I do
not believe the sampling events mentioned should be characterized as deficiencies.
The regulations state that amounts of sewage sludge greater than 0 but less than 290 -dry
metric tons prepared for sale or given away. should be analyzed for pollutant
concentrations, pathogen density and vector attraction 1/year. The TWSA analyzes our
residuals on a quarterly basis to ensure compliance with regulations and for the safety of
our end users. These samples are collected by compositing a sample from the residual
storage silo. This sampling is conducted at the end of the drying process and at the end
user point. These samples all showed the solids content of the residuals to be >90%.
The sampling events cited as NOD's were collected at the end of a daily dryer run to
monitor process control and to help maximize efficiency of the dryer. These samples are
not intended to verify compliance with Appendix B to Part 503- PFRP as they are not
taken at the user end point. After the dryer, residuals are blown via air to the silo. This
accomplishes further drying and mixing of the daily residuals with the stored residuals
ensures that all residuals meet the >90% solids criteria even if a batch or daily dryer run
does not meet the criteria.

I know we have had this conservation before and have never answered it to either parties
satisfaction. I feel that if I didn't perform monitoring on each batch from the dryer, none
of this would be an issue. I can find nowhere in the regulations that requires me to
monitor the process daily and it seems that the TWSA is being penalized for being
proactive and diligent in monitoring our process.
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Stan Bryson

Chapter 10
Meeting the Quantitative Requirements of the Regulation
Percent Solids Greater Than or Equal to
75% and 90%
The monitoring requirement for these vector attraction options (see Sections 8.8 and 8.9) is simply
measurement of total solids. This measurement is described in Standard Methods (APHA_[1992], Standard
Method 2540 G). Standard Methods states that duplicates should agree within ± 0.5% of their average. For
75% solids, this would be ± 3.8%. For a continuous process, a time -composite sample can be taken over the
course of a day, and duplicate analyses carried out on this composite. This is possible because biological
activity essentially ceases at high solids content, and decomposition will not occur. Approximately seven such
composites over the course of a 2-week sampling period would provide adequate sampling.
Some drying processes such as drying sludge on sand drying beds are batch processes. In such cases, it may
be desirable to ascertain that the sludge meets the vector attraction reduction requirements before removing
the sludge from the drying area. This can be done by taking two separate space -composites from the dried
sludge, analyzing each of them in duplicate, and removing the sludge only if it meets the required solids
content.

Under this option, vector attraction is considered to be reduced if the sewage sludge does not contain
unstabilized solids generated during primary wastewater treatment and if the solids content of the sewage
sludge is at least 75% before the sewage sludge is mixed with other materials. Thus, the reduction must be
achieved by removing water, not by adding inert materials.
