Signature: Date: December 91, 2022 FORM: RLAP 06-16 Page 5 of 5 Operation and Maintenance Plan Town of Dallas Permit No. WQ0037135 In accordance with the requirements as issued by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality using NCGS 143-215.1 and 143-215.3(a) based on 15A NCAC 02T .110, The Town of Dallas and U.S Biosolids, Inc. are implementing this Operation and Maintenance Plan. The Land Application of Non -Dedicated Class B Residuals from the Town of Dallas will be conducted from the Wastewater Treatment facility, located at 700 East Holly St, Dallas, NC 28034. The Residuals will be removed and given away to farmers to be used as a soil amendment. The residuals will be removed on as needed bases as fluctuation in the output of the plant will vary with changing economic conditions. The day-to-day operation of the running of the Wastewater Treatment will be conducted by Michael Stafford ORC of the Town of Dallas WWTP or his/her designee. The operations of the land application program will be conducted by Dennis Key of U.S Biosolids, Inc. or his/her designee. Land application of residuals will be determined once enough residuals have been produced in the digesters. The land application event is initiated by the Dallas Wastewater Treatment plant by contacting U.S. Biosolids, Inc. U.S. Biosolids, Inc. will send tanker trucks, pumps, hoses, and spreading equipment to remove the residuals from the digesters and land apply them onto farmland. The residuals will not be stored on the ground at any time. Prior to land applying these residuals to permitted sites, the following sampling conditions must be met (as is outlined in greater detail in the sampling plan attached to this Operation and Maintenance Plan). Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) will be conducted once per year, if a land application event takes place. A metals and nutrients analysis, pathogen and vector attraction, and soil analysis will be conducted annually if a land application event takes place. These samples will be collected by Zach Key of U.S. Biosolids or his/her designee and transported to an approved lab the same day the samples are taken, as in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0505. The samples must be taken in a matter to ensure a representative sample of the residuals has been taken. An inspection will be conducted daily while a land application event is taking place. This inspection will confirm that all requirements of permit WQ0020912 are complying with regulations. The fields should be inspected daily for compliance with the conditions that is outline in then permit. The inspection should consist of (but not limited to): All required setbacks and buffers are complying. 2. All required record keeping of truck and fields sheets are maintained and properly filled out so accurate records of the volume and locate of residuals are keep. 3. All public access points are controlled (signs posted, gates closed) 4. Make sure all fields' records are turned over to the ORC so records can be reviewed by NCDEQ and an annual report can be constructed. The daily land application inspection will be conducted by the following personal: Dennis Key, ORC U.S. Biosolids, Inc. Zach Key, BORC U.S. Biosolids, Inc. If any issues or violations are discovered, the ORC of Land Application, Town of Dallas and the Winston Regional Office should be contacted as soon as safely possible. o ORC of Land Application, US Biosolids, Inc. 336-957-7871 o Dallas WWTP 704-685-1461 o Winston Regional Office 336-776-9800 To prevent any spills and or safety issues from occurring the flowing will take place during a land application event. In the unlikely event of a spill consult the spill control plan immediately. 1. Access to the facility will be controlled with a locked gates and fences and signs to prevent any unauthorized entry into the complex. 2. All pumps and hose will be checked at the start of each day for leaks or loose fittings. 3. All tanker valves are closed prior to loading and lids are closed prior to transport. 4. All dump trailers or dump trucks gates are tightly fastened and do not leak prior to transport. All on road equipment is check as per DOT regulations for any safety or mechanical hazards or issues. 6. All equipment is secured at the end of each working day to prevent any tampering or unauthorized use. 7. Enough freeboard is maintained in the residual digesters so to prevent overflowing. This can be accomplished by maintaining the levels of residuals to an acceptable level by planning adequate land application events to keep up with residuals production. U.S. Biosolids, Inc. Town of Dallas Permit No. WQ0037135 SAMPLING PLAN Annually, if a land application event occurs, grab samples are collected from the aerobic digesters. These samples will be combined to form individual grab samples to be sent to a laboratory for analysis. These individual grab samples are collected and tested for fecal coliform analysis, volatile solids reduction, nutrient analysis, and a TCLP test. These tests will be taken by Zach Key of U.S. Biosolids, Inc. All samples apart from the composite residual sample will be taken to Statesville Analytical. The composite residual sample will be sent to Waypoint Analytical. All samples taken will be taken in the same condition as the residuals are to be land applied. The volatile solids reduction requirement will first be attempted by using option 1 [503.33(b) (1)]; Reduction of volatile solids by at least 38%. The "IN" sample will be taken from the residuals pumped from the clarifiers and the "OUT" sample from aerobic digester No. 1. If this requirement can't be met, a gallon of residuals will be sampled from the aerobic digester and analyzed for option 3 503.33(b) (3); known as a 30-day bench scale. This test requires less than 15% additional volatile solids reduction during bench -scale aerobic batch digestion for 30 days. Fecal Coliform are gathered in seven (7) individual samples from the aerobic digester and tested to meet the requirements of [503.32(b)(2)]. This requirement is for the geometric mean fecal coliform density of the samples be less than two million (2,000,000) MPN per gram. These samples will be placed in 250ml containers and placed on ice, in a cooler for transport to the laboratory before 1600 hours (4pm) the same day the samples are obtained. Annually, if land application occurs, a composite residual sample will be collected from the belt press and analyzed, prior to a land application event for: Cadmium, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Selenium, Zinc, Aluminum, Ammonia Nitrogen, Calcium, Nitrate Nitrogen, Magnesium, % total Solids, pH, Phosphorus, Potassium, TKN, Sodium. From this information, the Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) and a Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) will be calculated. This sample will collected in a non -breakable container, at least one quart in size. A full TCLP test, including corrosivity, ignitability, and reactivity will be taken in two (2) gallon containers from the aerobic digester. This test will be run annually unless prior approval is granted from the division to reduce this requirement to once per permit cycle. SPILL CONTROL PLAN- U.S. Biosolids, Inc. Town of Dallas Permit No. WQ0037135 In the event of a spill, the following should be taken IMMEDITALY. 1. Make sure all personal and bystanders are safe- if not contact emergency 2. Halt the source of the spill- overturned truck, leaking valve, ruptured tank. 3. Contain the spill. Use straw bales or earthen barrier to form a dike to contain the spill. 4. Cleanup.

From the chamber the sludge flows into energy baffle diffuser in the center of the clarifier. Clarification occurs; floatable scum is removed by a skimmer arm to a scum trough, then to the digester or the aeration chamber. Activated sludge is constantly being returned from the clarification process to the chamber. The supernatant from the clarifier flows through saw tooth weirs into a contact chamber where it is aerated and chlorinated; then over av-notched weir flow measuring device; then into an unnamed tributary of the Long Creek. Residuals in the bottom of the clarifier unit are either returned to the aeration chamber, or wasted to the digester for thickening, then the removal to the drying beds prior to transport to the landfill or held for land application. When volatile solids reduction is measured at a rate less than 38%, a 30-day bench scale is taken, if unable to pass the 30 day bench, lime stabilization will be utilized to land apply the residuals. Waste materials left on the bar screen are removed and taken to the landfill. QUANTITATIVE JUSTIFICATION The Town of Dallas, NC has produced the flowing dry tons over the last eleven (11) years: 2021 11.54 2020 32.91 2019 63.51 2018 67.97 2017 60.25 2016 51.58 2015 52.39 2014 6.65 2013 44.49 2012 49.68 2011 33.76 This comes out to an average of 43.15 dry tons per year. The current amount requested in this permit renewal package is ample for any growth or increase in residual amounts produced. Town of Dallas Permit No. WQ0037135 SAMPLING PLAN Annually, if a land application event occurs, grab samples are collected from the aerobic digesters. These samples will be combined to form individual grab samples to be sent to a laboratory for analysis. These individual grab samples are collected and tested for fecal coliform analysis, volatile solids reduction, nutrient analysis, and a TCLP test. These tests will be taken by Zach Key of U.S. Biosolids, Inc. All samples apart from the composite residual sample will be taken to Statesville Analytical. The composite residual sample will be sent to Waypoint Analytical. All samples taken will be taken in the same condition as the residuals are to be land applied. The volatile solids reduction requirement will first be attempted by using option 1 [503.33(b) (1)]; Reduction of volatile solids by at least 38%. The "IN" sample will be taken from the residuals pumped from the clarifiers and the "OUT" sample from aerobic digester No. 1. If this requirement can't be met, a gallon of residuals will be sampled from the aerobic digester and analyzed for option 3 503.33(b) (3); known as a 30-day bench scale. This test requires less than 15% additional volatile solids reduction during bench -scale aerobic batch digestion for 30 days. Fecal Coliform are gathered in seven (7) individual samples from the aerobic digester and tested to meet the requirements of [503.32(b)(2)]. This requirement is for the geometric mean fecal coliform density of the samples be less than two million (2,000,000) MPN per gram. These samples will be placed in 250ml containers and placed on ice, in a cooler for transport to the laboratory before 1600 hours (4pm) the same day the samples are obtained. Annually, if land application occurs, a composite residual sample will be collected from the belt press and analyzed, prior to a land application event for: Cadmium, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Selenium, Zinc, Aluminum, Ammonia Nitrogen, Calcium, Nitrate Nitrogen, Magnesium, % total Solids, pH, Phosphorus, Potassium, TKN, Sodium. From this information, the Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) and a Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) will be calculated. This sample will collected in a non -breakable container, at least one quart in size. A full TCLP test, including corrosivity, ignitability, and reactivity will be taken in two (2) gallon containers from the aerobic digester. This test will be run annually unless prior approval is granted from the division to reduce this requirement to once per permit cycle. s 7621 Whitepine Road, Richmond, VA 23237 Waypoint, Main 804-743-9401 0 Fax 804-271-6446 ANALYTICAL www.waypointanalytical.com 46381 US Biosolids Inc Project Dallas Dennis Key Report Date : 07/20/2022 958 Hoots Road Information : Received : 07/07/2022 Roaring River , NC 28669 Pauric Mc Groary Ph.D., CPA Report Number :22-188-0004 REPORTOFANACYSIS Agronomist Lab No : 58503 Matrix: Solids Sample ID : Dallas Sampled: 7/5/2022 11:00 Test Results Units MQL DF Date I Time By Analytical Analyzed Method Moisture 98.0 % 0.010 1 07/11/2215:36 FMM SM-2540G Sulfur 15500 mg/Kg - dry 500 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Calcium 46300 mg/Kg - dry 2500 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Aluminum 15500 mg/Kg - dry 250 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Manganese 555 mg/Kg - dry 25.0 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Organic N 57150 mg/Kg - dry 12500 1 07/15/22 14:30 CALCULATION Nickel 30.7 mg/Kg - dry 12.5 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Lead 27.3 mg/Kg - dry 15.0 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Arsenic <25.0 mg/Kg - dry 25.0 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Selenium <25.0 mg/Kg - dry 25.0 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Test Results Units MQL DF Date / Time By Analytical Analyzed Method Total Solids 2.02 % 0.010 1 07/11/22 15:38 FMM SM-2540G Phosphorus 23100 mg/Kg - dry 250 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 60100 Copper 595 mg/Kg - dry 25.0 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen 76500 mg/Kg - dry 12500 1 07/15/22 14:30 ]P7 iM-4500-NH3C-TKr Qualifiers/ DF Dilution Factor MQL Method Quantitation Limit Definitions Waypointo ANALYTICAL 7621 Whitepine Road, Richmond, VA 23237 Main 804-743-9401 ° Fax 804-271.6446 www.waypointanalytical.com 46381 US Biosolids Inc Pro]ect Dallas Dennis Key Report Date : 07/20/2022 958 Hoots Road Information : Received : 07/07/2022 Roaring River , NC 28669 �aw+c MC T Pauric Mc Groary Ph.D., CPA Report Number : 22-188-0004 REPORTOFANAL YSIS Agronomist Lab No : 58503 Matrix: Solids Sample ID : Dallas Sampled: 7/5/2022 11:00 Potassium 4840 mg/Kg - dry 500 1 07/14/22 16:2S TJS 6010D Magnesium 4170 mg/Kg - dry 250 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Sodium 3000 mg/Kg - dry 1250 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Iron 18000 mg/Kg - dry 500 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Zinc 1030 mg/Kg - dry 62.5 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Ammonia Nitrogen 19400 mg/Kg - dry 5000 1 07/19/22 09:30 JPJ SM-4500-NH3C Nitrate+Nitrite-N <250 mg/Kg - dry 250 1 07/14/22 16:34 ZBD 4500NO3F-2011 Cadmium <5.00 mg/Kg - dry 5.00 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Chromium 59.0 mg/Kg - dry 12.5 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Mercury <7.85 mg/Kg - dry 7.85 1 07/14/22 16:47 JTR SW-7471B PH 7.5 S.U. 1 07/13/2215:24 DRS 9045D Molybdenum <12.5 mg/Kg - dry 12.5 1 07/12/22 23:11 EAL 6010D Qualifiers/ DF Dilution Factor MQL Method Quantitation Limit Definitions �a rn 0 0 0 Y_ i_ O I I _.
