V . PATHOGEN REDUCTION INFORMATION (attach add. pages for additional sources of residuals)
In accordance with 15A ?;CAC 2H .0200, pathogen reduction can be achieved using either 40 CFR Part 257 or 40 CFR Part
503. Since the pathogen reduction requirements found in 40 CFR Part 257 (note; "Processes to Further Reduce Pathogens" or
PFRP) are incorporated into 40 CFR Pan 503, only Pan 503 is listed below. Please check which of the following applies to
the subject residual: N/A
FORM: DORS 06194 Page 4 of 7

1. In order for the residuals to be Class A, in accordance witb the pathogen requirements in 40 CFR 503.32(a), either Part a or
Pan b zad one of the options in Part c must be completed (please submit all lab analysis, test results and calculations):
2. A Fecal rn form density less than 1000 Most Probable Number per gram of total dry solids, or
b. A S alma sp. density less that 3 Most Probable Number per 4 grams of total dry solids.

2. alkaline treatment - the pH of the residuals is raised to greater than 12 for at least 72 hours. During this time, the
temperature of the residuals should be greater than 520 C for.at least 12 hours. In addition, after the 72 hour
period, the residuals are to be air dried to at least 50% total solids.
3. prior testing for Enteric VirusNiable Hemminth Ova -the residuals are analyzed for the presence of enteric viruses
(Plaque -forming units) [pful and viable belminth ova. If the residuals are analyzed before the pathogen reduction
process and found to have densities of enteric virus <1 pfu/4 grams of total solids and viable helminth dva <1/4g
enteric virus and viable belminth ova until the next
total solids, the residuals are Class A with respect to
monitoring episode. If the residuals are analyzed before the pathogen reduction process and found to have densities
of enteric virus > or =1 pfu/4 g total solids or viable belminth ova > or = 1/4 g total solids, and tested again after
processing and found to meet the enteric virus and viable belminth 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 he consistent with the values or ranges
of values documented
4. no r+r'or tP�tina for Enteric VirusNiable Helminth Ova - if the residuals are not analyzed before pathogen reduction
processing for enteric viruses and viable belmdntb ova, the density of enteric viruses must be less than 1 pfu/4 g of
total dry solids and the density of viable belminth ova must be less than 114 g of total dry solids, or the residuals
must be treated by a "Process to Further Reduce Pathogens" or a "Process to Farther Reduce Pathogens" equivalent
process.
5. 13e "Processes to Further Reduce Pathogens" (PFRP) are described as follows:
a. Composting - using either the within -vessel or static aerated pile composting methods, the temperature of the
residuals are raised to 550 C or higber for three days. Using the windrow composting method, Ole residuals are
raised to 550 C or higher for fifteen days. During the high temperature period, there will be a minimum of five
turnines of the windrow. -

Ash Reuse Program
Information Sheet
Trigen-BioPower, Inc. (Trigen), 2859 Old Linville Road, Marion, NC 28752 is the generator of
the ash provided to (Recipient). Application of the
aforementioned ash is prohibited except in accordance with the instructions on this sheet.
The ash will not be applied to any applicable buffer, including a 100 foot buffer between an
application site and any public or private water supply source (including wells) and any stream,
lake, or river. The ash shall not be applied to any site that is flooded, frozen, or snow-covered.
No ash is to be applied in inclement weather or until 24 hours following a precipitation event
equal to a rainfall event of or greater in 24 hours. Land areas, which exhibit a seasonal
high water table within 3 feet of the surface, shall not be utilized for application of ash.
Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any disposal or
stored ash into any surface waters.
The volume of ash application shall be limited to 4 tons/acre/year, unless a demonstration is
made which indicates that a higher application of this material will not exceed the liming
requirements of the crops being grown on the application site, if applicable to crops. A chemical
analysis of the ash is located on page 2 of the information sheet. The most recent analysis
performed by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture is also attached.
No ash shall be used as pipe bedding for sewer or potable water lines.
