Part 5..................Onsite Storage Management for Treated Residuals
The Class A residuals are conveyed via positive displacement blowers to the
storage/loadout silo. The silo contains approx. 55 tons at max capacity. The
average time residuals are stored in the silo varies greatly due to fluctuations in
demand and production of treated residuals. The TWSA produced approx. 0.70
tons/treated residual/day in 2018 which would result in an average storage time
in the silo of approx. 78 days for each ton produced.
The silo is loaded from the top and dispenses treated residuals from the bottom
into user's bulk containers (usually a truck of some variety).

Sludge Management Plan
The sludge generated in the activated sludge process at the facility will
be stored in the aerobic digestor (capacity 112,000 gals) before being
hauled via tank truck to the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority's
sludge handling facility located at: TWSA Plant #1
1871 North River Rd.
Sylva NC 28779
The sludge from the tank truck will be dumped into one of two aerobic
digestors at the TWSA Plant #1 facility. A sample of the sludge will be
obtained from the tanker on each day that a hauling event occurs. This
sampling allows calculation of the total tons of residuals hauled from
the TWSA Plant #2 WWTP. After being mixed and stabilized via air from
diffusers installed in the digestor, the sludge is dewatered via the 1.2
meter Komline-Sanderson belt press. Dewatered sludge is then
disposed of by either hauling to a designated landfill or by being treated
to a Class A Residual in the rotary batch dryer as manufactured by
Fenton Environmental Technologies. Treated residuals are disposed of
under the authority of non -discharge permit # WQ0005763 as issued by
NC Dept of Environment and Natural Resources.

(NC 0063321)
Sludge Management Plan
The sludge generated in the activated sludge process at the facility will
be stored in the aerobic digestor (capacity 56,000 gals) before being
hauled via tank truck to the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority's
sludge handling facility located at: TWSA Plant #1
1871 North River Rd.
Sylva NC 28779
The sludge from the tank truck will be dumped into one of two aerobic
digestors at the TWSA Plant #1 facility. A sample of the sludge will be
obtained from the tanker on each day that a hauling event occurs. This
sampling allows calculation of the total tons of residuals hauled from
the TWSA Plant #3 WWTP. After being mixed and stabilized via air from
diffusers installed in the digestor, the sludge is dewatered via the 1.2
meter Komline-Sanderson belt press. Dewatered sludge is then
disposed of by either hauling to a designated landfill or by being treated
to a Class A Residual in the rotary batch dryer as manufactured by
Fenton Environmental Technologies. Treated residuals disposed of
under the authority of non -discharge permit # WQ0005763 as issued by
NC Dept of Environment and Natural Resources.

The sludge from the tank truck will be dumped into one of two aerobic
digestors at the TWSA Plant #1 facility. A sample of the sludge will be
obtained from the tanker on each day.that a hauling event occurs. This
sampling allows calculation of the total tons of residuals hauled from
the Whittier WWTP. After being mixed and stabilized via air from
diffusers installed in the_digestor, the sludge is dewatered via the 1.2
meter Komline-Sanderson belt press. Dewatered sludge is then
disposed of by either hauling to a designated landfill or by being treated
to a Class A Residual in the rotary batch dryer as manufactured by

Residuals Operation and Maintenance Plan
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 SBR's 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
SBR's 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-1200-3 P-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.
Last revision date-6/28/2018
(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.
Last revision date-6/28/2018
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 run 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.
Polymer is purchased in totes. At the start of each day of press run, mark the level of polymer in
the tote. At the end of press run mark the level of polymer left in the tote. Measure between
these two marks to find how much polymer was used during the belt press run. Report this
measurement to the nearest 1/8th of an inch on the daily belt press record. This information is
used to calculate dewatering costs.
Last revision date-6/28/2018
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. An annual inspection of the silo and baghouse should be performed and,
any required maintenance or repairs completed.

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
• One sample per day 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.
• A composite of the dewatered sludge cake should be taken from the belt filter press. This
sample should consist 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. An equal portion shall be
obtained from each batch and composited to have one sample per day for analysis. 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.
• If the average %solids of anyone (1) days production of residuals does not meet 90% the
residuals should be considered non -compliant and should be disposed of in a landfill.

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.
Aluminum (AI) Mercury (Hg) % total solids Corrosivity
Arsenic (Ar) Molybdenum (Mo) Fecal Coliform mpn/g/solid* Ignitability
Cadmium (Cd) Nickel (Ni) Total Nitrogen (N) Reactivity
Calcium (Ca) ph Total Phosphorous (P)
Chromium (Cr) Potassium (K) Ammonia Nitrogen (Nh3-N)
Copper (Cu) Sodium (Na) Plant available Nitrogen(PAN) (surface applied)
Lead (Pb) - Selenium (Se) Calculated Sodium Adsorption Rate (SAR)
Magnesium (Mg) Zinc (Zn)
• 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.
Last revision date-6/28/2018
Truck Loading Operations
Trucks to be loaded with residual 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
renewed by both parties during each permit cycle
_ • 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
are included on the back of the manifest.

Program Information
D. Program Information
Handling, transportation and storage
• Residuals produced by the SBR process at the TWSA Plant #1 are piped into one of two
aerobic digestors. Aerobic digestor #1 has a capacity of 285,000 gals and digestor #2
has a capacity of 345,000 gals. Residuals not produced at the TWSA Plant #1 facility are
hauled to the facility by either a contracted hauler or by TWSA employees using the
Authority's tanker truck. Residuals are then pumped into one of the two aerobic
digestors and mixed with the sludge generated at the facility. MCRT of residuals stored
in these tanks during 2018 averaged 78 days.
Processing, Treatment, and Storage
• Sludge is processed and treated according to the Operation and Maintenance Plan For
Residual Operations (copy attached)
• Water supernated from digestors, belt press wash water, process water and cooling
water is returned to the headworks of the facility for treatment.
• Residuals produced from the drying process meet requirements for Class A sludge by
meeting Class A PFRP Alternative (2) Heat drying and Class A PFRP Alternative (7)
Pastuerization. These residuals also meet the vector attraction reduction requirements
of Option 8- Moisture Reduction. Due to the low metals content in the sludge, residuals
also meet the requirements for EQ or Exceptional Quality Class A Residuals.
• Residuals produced from the dryer are blown by positive displacement blowers to the
residual storage silo. This silo has a capacity of 55 tons and functions as both storage
and truck load out equipment
Distribution of Final Product
• The final product is distributed to farmers in bulk (usually one ton or more) for use as a
soil amendment, generally on hayfields. Users are required to sign a Utilization
Agreement (copy attached) in order to accept the residuals. The utilization agreement
specifies all requirements to be met for the beneficial reuse of this product. Users are
also supplied with the most current residual analysis. This allows the user to make
decisions such as loading rates and timing of applications.
Nutrients
• Users should not expect to meet the nitrogen requirements of any crop with these
residuals, but are expected to use it a s a slow release nitrogen supplement/soil
amendment.
