END OF SECTION Rev. 5-20-02 PROJECT # 99717 11815-4 TOWN OF OLD FORT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT NCO021229 CLASS A RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WQ0011260 OPERATION & MANAGEMENT PLAN The Old Fort WWTP Belt Press shall be operated as necessary to allow for wasting of return activated sludge -14000 to 20000 gallons per week. In order to best use the belt press, the TSS of the digester shall be tested each week. If the digester TSS is less than 10000 mg/L (0.01 %) the digester air shall be cut off for approximately 16 hours allowing the solids to settle; then the clear liquid (supernatant — top 30 to 50 inches of digester) shall be decanted through the decant pipe back to the head of the WWTP. Return Activated Sludge (RAS) can then be wasted to the digester, increasing the thickness of the liquid sludge. BELT PRESS — OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE To operate the belt press: 1. Turn on Pasteurization Vessel (PV) control Panel. Turn on RDP (lime Pasteurization) control panel. Turn on Roediger (belt press) control panel. 2. Turn on building water valves (2). Turn on polymer feed line valve. 3. On Roediger panel start air compressor and polymer system. On air compressor open valve to blow out condensation trap; blow out trap every 30 minutes while BP is running. 4. When air compressor tank is full turn switches to tighten both filter belts to running tension. On Roediger panel turn on dewatering drum drive, belt drive and water pump. S. On RDP panel turn on final conveyor, lime/sludge blender and BP discharge conveyor. On PV panel turn on PV belt. 6. Record lime total (from RDP panel) on operation log. Measure depth of digester and record on operation log. 7. On Roediger panel turn on sludge pump and polymer pump. 8. Ensure that sludge / polymer mix is correct — adjust polymer feed rate as needed. 9. Grease slide pads for BP steering rollers (at beginning of each run). Grease sludge pump at beginning of each run.. ' 10. When sludge cake starts to fall on BP discharge conveyor;•on RDP panel turn on lime screw, lime feeder and lime silo vibrator. 11. Watch for blender temperature to steadily rise (gauge on RDP panel). In 10 —15 minutes PV panel initial temperature gauge should reach 158*C. dote time temp reaches 158*C on log. Record initial and final temps, blender temp, lime feed rate every 30 minutes. (xx:00 and xx:30). 12. After running BP 6 to 7 hours (14000 -20000 gallons) turn off polymer system. Start hosing BP and BP building floor. When polymer runs out sludge pump and polymer pump cut off. Continue hosing BP. When all sludge has fallen onto BP discharge conveyor, turn off lime feeder, lime screw and silo vibrator. Complete hosing BP and building. 13. Record lime totalizer on log. Measure digester and record depth on log. 14. Turn off belt drive, dewatering drive, water pump and air compressor. Turn switches to release belt tension. Close building water valves. Close polymer valve. 15. Turn off lime/sludge blender. After sludge has passed completely thru PV (35 — 40 min) turn off PV belt and final conveyor. 16. Turn off RDP panel, Roediger panel and PV panel. INSPECTION PLAN Each year the bioresiduals ORC / Supervisor (currently Tony West) shall visit the planned receiving site(s) with the Town's spreader truck driver (currently Coy Revis or Lynn Russell) and the accepting person before distribution occurs. They shall tour the site(s) noting any concerns: surface water, wet areas, ditches, sandy areas, property lines, wells, etc. After completion of distribution at that location, the bioresiduals Supervisor shall revisit the site to insure the distribution is satisfactory and to check for possible noncompliance. If noncompliance is observed, the Supervisor shall report it to the Asheville Regional Office by phone (828-296-4500) within 24 hours or next business day. An emergency requiring immediate notification shall be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800-662-7956, or 800-858-0368. Any phone notification will be followed within 5 days by a written report outlining actions taken, or to be taken, to prevent problem reoccurrence. A log of each inspection will be kept. This log will contain date, time, inspectors, location, owner/representative, a simple hand -drawn sketch of the site, and areas of concern noted. If there is any question concerning soil pH, soil samples shall be taken and tested at the Old Fort WWTP. If the soil pH is too low to be raised by the lime to 6.0 pH, residuals cannot be spread on that site. SAMPLING AND MONITORING The BP operator (currently Tony West) shall be responsible for sampling and monitoring the bioresiduals process. 1. Before starting the BP, calibrate pH meter with 10.0 and 12.45 buffers. 2. After sludge starts discharging final conveyor, collect sludge to fill half -way a quart Ziploc freezer bag. This amount should be enough for pH and percent solids tests. 3. Test pH within 15 minutes, after 2 hours, and after 24 hours by adding sludge to the 50 mL mark of a 150 mL beaker and adding deionized water to the 100 mL mark. Place on stirrer with magnet in beaker, insert pH probe, and record result on final product pH when meter displays result. If pH is not > 12.0, resample and retest sludge immediately. If ph remains below 12.0, adjust lime feed rate and check for problems. All sludge processed that was not up to pH, will be separated and reprocessed through the recycle bin later. 4. Continue to collect equal amounts of sludge in a quart Ziploc bag every 2 hours as long as sludge discharges. Store this bag in the lab refrigerator at the end of the BP run. 5. Perform percent solids test on sludge collected throughout BP run at the end of the run. Weigh dish and record on percent solids worksheet. Fill dish with sludge. Weigh and record. Place dish in oven at 103* to 105*C. Remove dish from oven the next morning and place in desiccator until temperature stabilizes. When temperature is stable weigh and record. Calculate percent solids, record on sheet and operation log. 6. The last week of December (when the BP will not be run any more that calendar year) combine all of the year's sludge samples in a clean bucket. Mix thoroughly. Divide equally into 3 one -gallon Ziploc bags. Two of these bags go to the contract lab for TCLP (once per five year permit cycle), metals, corrosivity, reactivity, ignitability. One one -gallon bag is saved at the WWTP in refrigerator as a back-up until all results are received and accepted. 7. After the above -listed results are received (3 to 4 weeks after submittal) and checked to be within limits inform contract lab that 7 fecal coliform sludge samples shall be submitted over the next 14 days. These fecal samples should be collected as close as possible to the time when bioresiduals are distributed. Collect a quart Ziploc bag half full of sludge for each grab sample. Collect 2 or 3 samples per day, at least two days apart over 2 weeks. To collect a sample the front-end loader will be used to dig onto the sludge to reach representative samples from seven different areas of the pile. After acceptable results are received from the contract lab, the bioresiduals are ready to be distributed. MAINTENANCE Every 2 months grease all fittings on BP and lime/sludge equipment at the beginning of run. In March of each year change the oil in all BP and lime/sludge equipment according to manufacturers' recommendations. As BP is running, watch equipment movement frequently and carefully, especially belts and bearings. Mote any problems and replace/repair as necessary. Each week, 3 or 4 days after running BP use loader to move sludge from under final conveyor to large sludge pile. AGRONOMIC APPLICATION RATES FOR RIORESIDUALS After receiving the results from the laboratory analysis of the bioresiduals, the WWTP ®RC will calculate nutrient (and other chemical) content of the residuals in pounds per dry ton. This will determine the application rate for the bioresiduals. Because of the high content of lime, the bioresiduals will almost always be applied according to the lime content and lime needs of the field. Usually this will work out to be two dry tons of bioresiduals per acre, which would be approximately equal to one ton of lime per acre, the NC Dept. of Agriculture recommended amount. 2011 Lime Content: Sludge dry wt. tons =19.58 Lime dry wt. tons = 30.63 Total dry wt. tons = 50.21 Total wet wt. tons = 97.68 61 % 1220 Ibs per dry ton 31 % 620 Ibs per wet ton SAFETY AT BELT PRESS 1. Only individuals who have been trained to operate the belt press shall attempt to run it. 2. No loose clothing shall be worn around belt press. 3. Safety glasses should be worn while operating belt press. 4. Hearing protection should be worn inside the belt press building while it is operating. S. Before starting the belt press, make sure all machine guards are in place, and that all equipment is in good operating condition. 6. Make no attempts to clean, adjust or repair equipment by placing hands or tools in the operating path of the equipment while the belt press is operating. SAFETY WITH SPREADER TRUCK 1. Only individuals who have been licensed and trained to operate the spreader truck shall attempt to drive it. 2. Only individuals who have been trained to operate the front-end loader shall attempt to drive it. 3. Before starting the spreader truck or loader, inspect the vehicle to insure all equipment is in good condition. 4. Before application of bioresiduals, inspect receiving field with WWTP ORC to determine proper areas to apply, and areas to avoid.

Land application of Class A residuals is considered the beneficial reuse of a waste under 15A NCAC 02T .1100, and has been deemed permitted under 15A NCAC 02T .1103(4) provided the conditions of this agreement are met. Any action resulting in damages to surface water or groundwater, caused by failure to follow the conditions of this agreement, is subject to NC Division of Water Quality enforcement action. Bulk residuals shall not be land applied under the following conditions: a. If the residuals are likely to adversely affect a threatened or endangered species listed under section 4 of the Endangered Species Act or its designated critical habitat, b. If the application causes prolonged nuisance conditions; c. if the land fails to:assimilate the bulk residuals or the application causes the contravention of surface water or groundwater standards, d. If the land is flooded, frozen or snow-covered, or is otherwise in a condition such that runoff of the residuals would occur; e. Within the 100-year flood elevation, unless the bulk residuals are injected or incorporated within a 24-hour period following a residuals land application event; f. During a measurable precipitation event (i.e., greater than 0.01 inch per hour), or within 24 hours following a rainfall event of 0.5 inches or greater in a 24-hour period; g. If the slope is greater than 10% for surface applied liquid residuals, or if the slope is greater than 18% for injected or incorporated bulk liquid residuals; h. If the soil pH is not maintained at 6.0 or greater, unless sufficient amounts of lime are applied to. achieve a final soil pH of at least 6.0, or if an agronomist provides information indicating that the pH of the soil, residuals and lime mixture is suitable for the specified crop. Any approved variations to the acceptable soil pH (6.0) will be noted in this permit; I. If the land does not have an established vegetative cover unless the residuals are incorporated or injected within a 24-hour period following a residuals land application event, j., If vertical separation between the seasonal high water table and the depth of residuals application is less than one foot, k. If the vertical separation of bedrock and the depth of residuals application is less than one foot, I. Application exceeds agronomic rates. The person or entity accepting the bulk Class A residuals shall to the best of their knowledge meet the following application requirements: I. Residuals stockpiled for more than 14 days shall be covered; ii. Application of bulk residuals shall not occur within 100 feet of a public or private water supply source; III. Application of bulk residuals shall not occur within 100 feet of any well, with the exception of Division approved monitoring wells; iv. Application of bulk residuals shall not occur within 25 feet of surface waters. The generator of the Class A bulk residuals shall provide information on the proper use of the residuals, including information on the nutrient quantities within the residuals and recommended application rates. A copy of the label or information sheet attached to bags or other containers, as specified in the labeling requirements under Condition 111.7 of the permit, is sufficient. The applicator or parry accepting bulk residuals from the Permittee shall supply all third parties receiving bulk residuals with documentation specifying that application shall occur consistent with the utilization agreement. Instructions, including contact information for key personnel, shall be provided to the applicator or party receiving bulk residuals in the event that any requirements specified in the utilization agreement are not met. A copy of the Utilization Agreement shall be maintained at the land application sites when bulk residuals are being applied. By accepting residuals from the Town of Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant, I agree to abide by the conditions of their application and use. Signed Date Print Address Old Fort WWTP / Bioresiduals ORC Signed Date Print AGRONOMIC APPLICATION RATES FOR BIORESIDUALS After receiving the results from the laboratory analysis of the bioresiduals, the WWTP ORC will calculate nutrient (and other chemical) content of the residuals in pounds per dry ton. This will determine the application rate for the bioresiduals. Because of the high content of lime, the bioresiduals will almost always be applied according to the lime content and lime needs of the field. Usually this will work out to be two dry tons of bioresiduals per acre, which would be approximately equal to one ton of lime per acre, the NC Dept. of Agriculture recommended amount. 2011 Lime Content: Sludge dry wt. tons =19.58 Lime dry wt. tons = 30.63 Total dry wt. tons = 50.21 Total wet wt. tons = 97.68 61 % 1220 Ibs per dry ton 31 % 620 Ibs per wet ton Fertilizer Requirements and Nutrient Uptake N Recommendation Based on Realistic Yield Expectations For the selected crop, multiple the R.Y.E by the value given below for that crop. Note: The lower end of the range is typical for our most productive soils under non -irrigated conditions. These soils tend to have above average available water holding capacity and good infiltration rates. Nitrogen requirements can be even lower with well managed irrigation. The higher end of the range is for soils which typically have reduced N uptake efficiency (ie. prone to drought, leaching, or denitrification) and low available water holding opacity.

Catawba Ave. Old Fort, NC 28762 828-668-4244 Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant 828-668-4561 THE LIME PASTEURUTION PROCESS In the method of lime pasteurization used at the Town of Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant Residuals Management Facility, wastewater sludge is dewatered to 16 to 18 % solids and then mixed with quicklime in a large mechanical blender. During this process, the pH of the sludge is elevated to 12.0 and remains greater than 12.0 for at least 2 hours, and greater than 11.5 for 22 more hours. The temperature of the lime/ sludge mixture will be greater than 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit). The lime/sludge mixture (biosolids) is passed from the blender to a pasteurization vessel, which maintains the temperature of 70 degrees Celsius for at least 30 minutes. The combination of elevated pH and elevated temperature allows the biosolids to be classified as a Class A product according to the EPA 503 regulations. The lime pasteurization method of producing biosolids is approved by the EPA as an effective method of sludge stabilization and pathogen reduction, and results in an environmentally safe product with multiple beneficial uses. These biosolids have value as a soil pH conditioner and as a low grade fertilizer. When used according to the recommendations in this brochure, this product may be used as a soil pH amendment for farmers, landscapers, gardeners and commercial enterprises. GENERAL USES, PROPERTIES, AND PRECAUTIONS Lime pasteurized biosolids can be utilized advantageously by the local, large scale • . farmer as a soil pH enhancer and low-grade fertilizer. It can also be used by individuals wishing to enhance the pH of their lawns and gardens or any other area that may need a soil amendment. Lime pasteurized biosolids contain plant nutrients and may be considered a low-grade fertilizer. It's main value is as a soil pH enhancer and as a soil conditioner. Lime stabilized biosolids are known to improve the physical properties of soil in the following ways: • Enhanced Aggregation - Lime stabilized biosolids increases the tendency of soil particles to stick together. • Increased water retention - Allows sandy soils to hold water better. • Improved Permeability - Helps make clay or other heavy soils more friable and loose, reducing compaction. • Improved aeration - Looser soil encourages root growth. • Increases overall soil pH - restores soil pH to optimum conditions for several commercial/agricultural products. Lime pasteurized wastewater biosolids are a product of municipal sewage. Lime pasteurized biosolids may be assumed to be free of dangerous pathogens and toxic substances, but it should be treated with respect. Contact with children and pets should be minimized and direct. ingestion- of lime stabilized biosolids should be avoided. Also, due to the highly alkaline nature of lime pasteurized biosolids, prolonged contact with the biosolids should be avoided. As with agricultural lime processed residuals cannot be applied to any site that is flooded, frozen or snow covered and adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any disposed or stored residuals into any surface waters. Residuals also cannot be placed any closer than ten (10) feet from any public or private water supply source (including wells) and any stream, lake, river, or natural drainage way. Application of these residuals is prohibited 'except as in accordance with the instructions on this information sheet. PAT MCCRORY Governor DONALD R.

In 2013 17.7 dry tons of residuals were distributed. The TCLP analysis is required once/permit cycle. The TCLP was last done in 2012. The 3-13-13 pasteurization vessel log showed an outlet temperature reading of 46 degrees at the beginning of the run. Per Mr. West, the sludge depth was insufficient to completely contact with the thermometer. The 6 subsequent readings were 178 degrees or higher. Based on the data provided the residuals met the pathogen/vector attraction reduction requirements as well as the metals and nutrient requirements. The report appeared to be complete and accurate and was submitted on time.

The covered storage area was almost at capacity. Distribution has been very limited due to wet weather. Residuals generated since 1/1/10 have not been sampled yet. An initial pH reading (in addition to the 2 hr. & 24 hr. readings)must be documented to verify VAR. Se was mistakenly reported on the RAS as ND but the lab sheet showed 6.4 mg/kg. 6.4mg/kg is not a. Ceiling or Monthly Average Conc. violation. Residuals that do not meet temperature requirements are recycled back through the pasturization vessel. A statement should be added to the Resdivals Operations Log indicating how residuals are handled that do not meet temperature requirements. Facility appears to be well maintained and operated.

There are currently no pumping stations needed in the Old Fort collection system. DESCRIPTION OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT: The original waste treatment plant was built in 1967, upgraded in 1987 to a capacity of 800,000 gallons per day (gpd), and upgraded again in 1996 to a capacity of 1.2 million gallons per day (mgd). In 2003 — 2004 the plant was again refurbished with a grant of approximately $1.5 million from the NC Rural Center. All wastewater is moved through the following processes: BAR 'SCREEN — removes larger pieces of trash, rags, etc. GRIT CHAMBER — removes fine sand -like material that is damaging to equipment. INFLUENT PUMP STATION — pumps wastewater to equalization basin EQUALIZATION BASIN — contains the wastewater, allowing a constant flow through the rest of the plant. AERATION TANK — waste is treated by concentrating, mixing and adding air; bacteria and other micro-organisms break down the solid and liquid waste to a less harmful form. CLARIFIERS — allow solids to settle out while clearer water p its CHLORINE CONTACT CHAMBER — chlorine is added to di C LJ El wastewater, and sulfur dioxide is added to remove the residual chlorine. VE AUG 3 1 , 09 DENR - WATER QUALITY POINT SOURCE BRANCI The treated wastewater is then discharged to Curtis Creek, which is a contributor to the Catawba River. Settled solids from the clarifiers are pumped to two sludge holding tanks. From there the sludge is dewatered on a belt press, and mixed with lime to produce a Class "A" bioresiduals product which is beneficial to gardens, lawns, etc. These bioresiduals are distributed to local farmers under the town's bioresidual management facility permit. PERFORMANCE: WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.- In this report period, the Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant had three violations for Total Suspended Residue (TSR): July 2008, December 2008, and January 2009. The December 2008 and January 2009 TSR violations were due to cold temperatures inhibiting settling in the clarifiers. The July 2008 TSR violation was due to contract laboratory error. The Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant also had a Fecal Coliform violation in December 2009. This was due to a failure in the chlorine feed equipment during low holiday flows. COLLECTION SYSTEM.- SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOWS: During this report period, the Old Fort Collection System had one Sanitary Sewer Overflow, from a manhole located near Butcher's Branch. As part of their effort to reduce sanitary sewer overflows, the Old Fort Maintenance Department cleaned 9730 feet of sewer pipe in the report period. They also installed four new sewer line cleanouts.

Our contract laboratory, PACE Analytical was given a copy of the Town's permit with the required parameters to be analyzed highlighted and attached to the chain of custody. When PACE Analytical failed to test for nickel in its initial analysis, more sample that had been, kept for: just,such an occurrence was sent to PACE, along with another request for nickel analysis. On PACE's second attempt, they tested for nickel on the TCLP, but not-on..a -dry-weight basis. After that, the entire sample had been used and no more analysis was possible. In the future, I intend to continue sending a copy of the Town's permit with the sample and chain of custody, with required parameters highlighted. I also intend to keep a substantial amount of sample in reserve in case of laboratory accident or missed analysis. I also intend to send a copy of this letter along with a copy of the Notice of Violation to PACE Analytical, in the hope of alerting them to their serious failure to follow through on requested analyses.

The samples were submitted to the contract laboratory and subsequently subcontracted to another laboratory. Mr. West was not notified of the samples exceeding hold time. It is recommended that the contract laboratories be notified of this incident to prevent future compliance problems. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report (Inspection Summary Page 2) for additional observations and comments. The assistance of Mr. Anthony West was greatly appreciated during the inspection.

Acid herbicides were inadvertently left out of the Annual Report - results submitted 2/21/07. Results were compliant. Ignitability, corrosivity and reactivity analysis conducted 1/17/07 on residuals that were distributed in 2006. A copy of the results was submitted on 2/20/07. Results appear compliant. Annual Report Fecal Coliform Results - Paper trail showed that two of the seven samples were analyzed out of hold time. Permittee was not notified of non-compliance by contract lab. All fecal samples should meet the 24 hour hold -time. Operational Data for Pathogen Reduction: Operations Log shows Pasturization Vessel (PV) Inlet and Outlet Temperatures. Initial start-up time and temperatures are recorded (these temperatures are sometimes below the 158 degree requirement). All residuals pass through the PV for at least 30 minutes -residuals stay in the PV for an additional 5-10 minutes beyond the second temperature probe. It is recommended that a statement be included on the Operations Log indicating that all residuals remain in the PV for at least 30 minutes or a statement explaining the lower temperatures. Residuals are stored on a covered concrete pad. Any run-off drains back to the head of the WWTP. The Town owns a spreader truck which is used for distribution of the residuals. Mr. Anthony West is doing a good job managing the residuals program.

I've reviewed the permit and talked with Bev and have reduced the amount remitted to $750.00 instead of the $1000.00. This, in essence, retains a minor penalty amount for the failure to notify ($250 of the $1000). The reason for remission on this case is as follows: 1) Old Fort has no prior enforcement action with their 503 program 2) The operator notified us upon his knowledge of the occurrence which the way the permit is written, one could argue easily that this is in compliance even though his "knowledge of occurrence" was significantly delayed by his failure to review the analytical data. The notification portion of the permit has always bothered me how it includes that notification is required upon "occurrence" OR "knowledge of the occurrence". Clearly the intent of the permit is notification upon occurrence. 3) In looking at the details of the "occurrence", although the residuals were distributed, only about 7 tons of the material was really in question as far as exceeding the limits. So, in giving this thing more careful thought, we feel we'll leave $250 of the $1000 on the penalty for the failure to notify. I will have to note that their remission request letter was fairly exceptional in the manner and tone in which they accepted responsibility for the violations. Thanks. Landon Ed Hardee wrote: Landon, In the referenced case Old Fort was assessed $750.00 for a violation and $1000.00 for failure to notify. Old Fort has the civil penalties.

The Town is requesting a remission of those civil penalties. The failure to conduct the annual residual analysis for metals and nutrients was the result of poor communication between me and our contract laboratory, PACE Analytical. When -requesting the TCLP on our bioresiduals, I assumed PACE would conduct the rest of the required annual analysis, as they had in previous years. When I received the results I did not examine them closely enough to notice the missing analyses, and filed them for later use. It was in January 2006, when I began to prepare our bioresiduals annual report, that I realized part of the analyses was missing. I then called Bev Price at the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality and explained the situation. Within a couple of weeks, Ms. Price visited the Old Fort WWTP and conducted our annual bioresiduals inspection. I readily admit that I am responsible for this error in two ways: I did not request the desired analysis correctly from our lab, and more importantly, I did not examine the results carefully when I received them. Because of Old Fort's previous history of low concentrations of metals in our bioresiduals, I probably assumed this trend would continue.

The Town of Old Fort, to my knowledge, has never been penalized for its bioresiduals program, and for this reason, I am requesting a remission for the civil penalties.

The inspection was conducted with the assistance of Mr. Anthony West. The facility was well maintained and all equipment appeared too be operational. The renovation to the residuals facility including the pasteurization vessel and the enlarged and covered storage pad appeared to be working very well. Mr. West indicated that the acquisition of a spreader truck was also part of the renovation. It is recommended that a Spill Control Plan be adopted and kept in the spreader truck once it is put into service. It was noted that there is no back-up operator for this system. Please begin working toward getting a certified back-up operator, as this is a condition of your permit. The assistance of Mr. West was greatly appreciated in conducting the inspection. A copy of the report is enclosed. If you or your staff has any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500. Sincerely, !

All records appeared to be in order. The biosolids management facility serving the Town of Old Fort was renovated in 2004. A larger storage pad and a storage shed were constructed. Additionally, a new pasteruization vessel was installed. The covered and enlarged storage pad increased the storage capacity as well as protecting the residuals from rainfall. The Town also received a spreader truck to help with distribution of the residuals. However, the truck is not being used at this time as the title has not been received. Residuals will be spread by the Town's maintenance personnel when the truck is ready. It is recommended that a Spill Control Plan be generated and kept in the truck once distribution begins.

Excess sludge from the waste treatment process is stored in two 75,000 gallon aerated sludge holding tanks. The sludge can be thickened there to 1.0 to 1.5 % solids, by turning the air off to the tank, allowing the solids to settle, and decanting the clearer liquid on top back to the headworks of the plant. The sludge is then pumped through pipes from the storage tanks to a Roediger 0.7 meter belt press. The belt press dewaters the sludge to a 16 to 18 % solids cake. From the belt press discharge the sludge cake is transported by conveyor to the RDP lime pasteurization equipment. The sludge cake is first mixed with lime in a large mechanical blender. The ratio of dry weight sludge to lime is 1: 1.3 to 1.5. The lime raises the pH of the sludge cake to greater than 12.0 for a minimum of two hours, and greater than 11.5 for an additional 22 hours. The lime also raises the temperature of the sludge cake to above 70- degrees Celsius. The sludge/lime mixture (biosolids or bioresiduals) discharges into a pasteurization vessel which transports the biosolids to the final product conveyor while maintaining the 70 degree temperature for at least 30 minutes. The combination of increased pH, increased temperature, and time, as verified by tests run in the WWTP lab, .meets the EPA 503 regulations for a Class A material. According to the EPA regulations, this process is an effective method of sludge stabilization and pathogen reduction, and results in an environmentally safe product with multiple beneficial uses. After discharge from the final conveyor, the biosolids are 41 to 50 % solids. The biosolids. are stored on a covered and curbed asphalt storage pad, located next to the belt press building and lime equipment. The covered storage pad minimizes the effects of weather on the pile. The leachate from the pile is drained from the storage pad back to the headworks of the plant. The pad is large enough to contain approximately 12 months of biosolids. The Town owns a spreader truck which will be used to distribute the biosolids on fields. The biosolids will be sold or given away to local farmers, nurserymen and landowners for use as a soil amendment or soil pH adjustment additive. MARKETING Lime pasteurized biosolids from the Town of Old Fort will be attractive to several markets, including farming businesses and the private sector. Several large farming businesses and nurseries are located in the McDowell County area. These operations could use the lime pasteurized biosolids as a soil pH enhancer, and also to benefit from the organic and nutritional value of the biosolids. The lime pasteurized biosolids also have the ability to improve the physical properties of soil. In the private sector several farmers have expressed interest in using the lime pasteurized biosolids as a soil pH enhancer and low-grade fertilizer. The biosolids could also be used by the Town as a soil conditioner for landscaping, as well as fill material for soil rehabilitation projects.. The Town's new spreader truck will greatly increase the Town's ability to distribute biosolids, eliminating the need to contract this work to others. PUBLIC INFORMATION HANDOUT USE OF LIME PASTEURIZED WASTEWATER BIOSOLIDS FOR SOIL IMPROVEMENT AND PLANT GROWTH A GUIDE FOR THE CONSUMER TOWN OF OLD FORT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT MCDOWELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA For further technical guidance contact your County Agricultural Extension Service Agent. The Town of Old Fort may be contacted at: Town of Old Fort P.O. Box 520 3 8 S. Catawba Ave. Old Fort, NC 28762 828-668-4244 Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant 828-668-4561 THE LIME PASTEURIZTION PROCESS In the method of lime pasteurization used at the Town of Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant Residuals Management Facility, wastewater sludge is dewateied to 16 to 18 % solids and then mixed with quicklime in a large mechanical blender. During this process, the pH of the sludge is elevated to 12.0 and remains greater than 12.0 for at least 2 hours, and greater than 11.5 for 22 more hours. The temperature of the lime/ sludge mixture will be greater than 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit). The lime/sludge mixture (biosolids) is passed from the blender to a pasteurization vessel, which maintains the temperature of 70 degrees Celsius for at least 30 minutes. The combination of elevated pH and elevated temperature allows the biosolids to be classified as a Class A product according to the EPA 503 regulations. The lime pasteurization method of producing biosolids is approved by the EPA as an effective method of sludge stabilization and pathogen reduction, and results in an environmentally safe product with multiple beneficial uses. These biosolids have value as a soil pH conditioner and as a low grade fertilizer. When used according to the recommendations in this brochure, this product may be used as a soil pH amendment for farmers, landscapers, gardeners and commercial enterprises. GENERAL USES, PROPERTIES, AND PRECAUTIONS Lime pasteurized biosolids can be utilized advantageously by the local, large scale • farmer as a soil pH enhancer and low-grade fertilizer. It can also be used by individuals wishing to enhance the pH of their lawns and gardens or any other area that may need a soil amendment. Lime pasteurized biosolids contain plant nutrients and may be considered a low-grade fertilizer. It main value is as a soil pH enhancer and as a soil conditioner. Lime stabilized biosolids are known to improve the physical properties of soil in the following ways: • Enhanced Aggregation - Lime stabilized biosolids increases the tendency of soil particles to stick together. • Increased water retention - Allows sandy soils to hold water better. • Improved Permeability - Helps make clay or other heavy soils more friable and loose, reducing compaction. • Improved aeration- Looser soil encourages root growth. • Increases overall soil pH - restores soil pH to optimum conditions for several commercial/agricultural products. � i f Lime pasteurized wastewater biosolids are a product of municipal sewage. Lime pasteurized biosolids may be assumed to be free of dangerous pathogens and toxic substances, but it shouldbe treated with respect. Contact with children and pets should be minimized and direct ingestion of lime stabilized biosolids should be avoided. Also, due to the highly alkaline nature of lime pasteurized biosolids, prolonged contact with the biosolids should be avoided. As with agricultural Lime processed residuals cannot be applied to any site that is flooded, frozen or snow covered and adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any disposed or stored residuals into any surface waters. Residuals also cannot be placed any closer than ten (10) feet from any public or private water supply source (including wells) and any stream, lake, river, or natural drainage way. Application of these residuals is prohibited except as in accordance with the instructions on this information sheet. aceAnalytical ° www.pacelabs.com Solid results are reported on a dry weight basis Lab Sample No: 924419625 Client Sample ID: SLUDGE 6/30 Pace Analytical Services, Inc. 2225 Riverside Drive Asheville, NC 28804 Phone: 828.254.7176 Fax: 828.252.4618 Lab Project Number: 9270641 Client Project ID: SLUDGE ANALYSIS 6/30 s Project Sample Number: 9270641-001 Date Collected: 06/30/04 10:45 Matrix: Soil Date Received: 06/30/04 15:40 Parameters Results Units Report Limit Analyzed By CAS No. Qual RegLmt Microbiology Fecal Coliform MPN Solid Method: SM 9221E Coliform, Fecal ND 06/30/04 MMG Metals Trace ICP Metals, TCLP Leach.

The report must be submitted (in triplicate) to the following address: DENR>DWQ/Water Quality Section Non -Discharge Compliance Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1617 Due to limitations in storage space, please submit the reports in bound form rather than in notebook form. Permittees are subject to civil penalty for failing to submit the Annual Report as required by their permit. Enclosed are the summary and certification sheets that must be used for your annual report depending on whether your residual is Class A or Class B. Please complete the necessary sheets and if necessary make copies of the blank forms if extras are needed.

The facility was not operating at the time of the inspection. Mr. Blalock informed us that he is currently using 1.3. pounds of quick lime per 1.0 pounds of dry weight solids. The system currently has no, pasteurization vessel, however, the Town is investigating the purchase of one according to the'. operator. The Division recommends this vessel be purchased, installed and made operational, as soon as possible, to remain in compliance with the permit. We were informed that the temperature probes are calibrated twice per year, it is recommended that the probes be calibrated at each use and documented. The operator explained that he is sampling the finished product seven (7) times per year, it is recommended that the finished product be stockpiled and the pile be tested prior to it leaving the plant: More information on sampling will be forwarded to Mr. Blalock.
