Lake Rhodhiss Wastewater Treatment Plant
Plant Information:
Plant design is for 7.5 MGD, but the plant is currently averaging 2.0 MGD. The head of
the plant consist of (2) barscreens followed by (2) grit chains. Influent then flows to a
wetwell where 1-4 influent pumps convey flow to the primary splitter box. Flow from
the splitter box goes to either or both primary clarifier(s). Solids are removed from the
Primary clarifier(s) and pumped to one of (2) gravity thickeners, each with a capacity of
254,000 gallons. Flow over the weirs of the primary clarifier(s) goes to (2) aeration
basins. Each aeration basin has (3) fixed 100 hp mechanical aerators for mixing and
dissolved oxygen. Flow from the aeration basin(s) to the secondary splitter box, then
onto the secondary clarifier(s). Solids from the secondary clarifier(s) is either recycled
back to the aeration basin or wasted to one of the two gravity thickeners. Primary and
secondary sludge are blended in the thickeners. Peracetic Acid (PAA) is added in the
contact chamber for disinfection, and the residual PAA is sampled at the end of the
contact chamber as an indicator of proper PAA dosage.
Solids Handling:
Lake Rhodhiss Treatment Plant residuals are centrifuged using one of two centrifuges.
Residuals drop out of the bottom/end of the centrifuge into a 24' semi -trailer below.
When the trailer is full the residuals are hauled to the, "compost pad", area that is
designed for the compost operation. The compost pad is made up of a concrete and
asphalt area with a small covered area and two drains. The compost pad is within 1000
feet of the Centrifuge Building.
Residuals are mixed with some combination of or all the following: woodchips, veneer
scraps and leaves. Nine to eleven scoops are added to each truckload of residuals. The
exact amount of scoops is left to the discretion of the loader operator and will vary
based on the size of the load and the dryness of the solids. Once 7 to 10 piles are
completely mixed a static pile is created. A static pile is started by first stretching a 4" x
100' perforated black corrugated pipe out perpendicular to the ditch in front of blowers.
A 4" x 10' solid piece of black corrugated pipe is used to connect the blower to the
corrugated pipe. Mulch is placed over the 4" perforated pipe with a loader, until the
whole pipe is covered. Prior to covering the pipe, the end of pipe opposite the blower is
crushed to seal and prevent air from escaping out the end of pipe. Solid pipe is attached
to the blower on one end and the corrugated pipe on the other end. The blower is set to
blow air into the pile. Adjustments to the timer are made as needed to ensure the
required temperatures are met.
Page I 1

Once a windrow is complete, temperature will be monitored along the windrow daily at
three different locations (front, middle, and back) using a certified thermometer from
the lab. Once the windrow has met the requirements (average 400C or greater for at
least 14 days and 550C or greater for a minimum of 3 days), it will be broken down and
moved to the back of the compost pad where it will be sampled from multiple points at
a later date for fecal testing. Upon passing the fecal testing the pile is ready to give to
the public. If the windrow fails either the temperature or the fecal requirement it
reincorporated back into additional windrows as new biosolids are centrifuged.
Leachate from the compost pad is collected in one of two drains that flow to the
influent wet well. Residuals are stored on the compost pad until they are mixed with the
amendments. The final product is distributed free of charge to anyone that wants it in
bulk. Compost is given away in small trailers, small pickups and the occasional large
tractor trailer. An information sheet is provided to each customer.

Lake Rhodhiss Wastewater Treatment Plant
Sludge Management Plan
Solids generated at the Lake Rhodhiss facility, through the treatment process, are
handled by centrifugation. The dewatered solids are trucked to the composting area (on -
site) and then mixed with a bulking agent (wood chips). The mixture is then constructed
into windrows and aerated for a minimum of 14 days, where temperatures are monitored
and recorded. Each windrow must be over 40 degrees Celsius, with an average
temperature of 45 degrees Celsius, and have 3 consecutive days of temperatures of 55
degrees Celsius or higher. Once these requirements are met, the windrows are broken
down and placed in a static pile for an additional 30 days of curing. The composting area
is large enough to hold 8 windrows, storage for approximately 6-8 months worth of
product, as well as storage for bulking agent and a mixing area.
The composting area is on concrete and designed so that all leachate is collected
by drains for that area and returned to the plant influent flow.
The compost produced at the plant is Class A Bio-solids and is given away to the
public with an information pamphlet. Before any piles/ windrows are released, bacterial
testing is performed to ensure that it meets the Class A designation and a "residuals"
analysis is conducted on a quarterly basis (permit specified). Composted solids not
meeting any of the above requirements is re -introduced into the composting process.
There are 2 centrifuges utilized for dewatering, and established contacts for the
contracting of a belt press (if contingency plan is needed to be implemented) for the
continued solids handling and operation of the plant. There's also a regional composting
facility that could potentially handle feed sludge, in worst case scenario.
The solids collected from the grit chamber gather in a dumpster and is
contractually hauled off.

Lake Rhodhiss WWTP

PROCESS FLOW NARRATIVE
Influent wastewater is first introduced into the headworks, passing through the bar
screen and grit chamber, then entering the influent pump station wet -well. The flow is
then pumped uphill to the primary clarifiers, which flows into aeration basins. The flow
then continues into secondary clarifiers and onward to the disinfection contact basin.
Peracetic Acid (PAA) is fed at the beginning of the contact chamber, disinfecting the
water prior to the effluent reaching the cascade, then finally flowing back downhill and
discharged into the Catawba River (Lake Rhodhiss).
Solids accumulated in primary and secondary clarifiers are pumped into the 2
thickeners, which in turn are pumped through centrifuges during the de -watering process.
De -watered biosolids are then taken to the northeast section of the compound (compost
area) and processed on -site. Additionally, portions of the solids within the plant are re-
introduced into the waste stream at the influent pump station wet -well.
All flows (wastewater and sludge) within the plant are monitored through
electronic metering devices and recorded into the SCADA system. Hard copies are
printed monthly and retained on -site. Metered points include influent, effluent, sludge
pumps to centrifuges, return sludge, primary and secondary waste -activated sludges. All
metering equipment is checked and calibrated semi-annually.

Operation and Maintenance Procedures for Static Aerated Pile Construction
• Biosolids (sludge) are to be dumped on the back area of the compost pad.
• Add 8 — 10 scoops (2.5 yd bucket) of mulch and 1 scoop of leaves to each truckload of
centrifuged solids on the pad. (The actual number of scoops needed is usually left to the
discretion of the loader operator.)
• The final consistency of the mixed pile should be evenly mixed, as over mixing will
result in clumping of the materials.
• Upon completion of mixing begin pile construction
• Extend (1) 100' x 4" perforated black pipe out perpendicular from the blower; do not
extend over the ditch line.
• Attach a 10' x 4" solid black pipe to end of the pipe closest to the blower, thus extending
the pipe to the blower.
• Cover pipe with 2" to 3" layer of amendment (wood chips, mulch, etc...) to allow for air
flow through pile. Crush end of black pipe on the end opposite the blower.
• Stack (pile) mixed compost along the length of the pipe, go slightly past
the end (approx. 2-3 ft) of the pipe on the end opposite the blower.
• Use 7 — 10 piles to create the static pile. The emptying of both thickeners usually makes 2
windrows.
• Attach pipe to blower "to blow air into the pile". Make sure blower is plugged up and
operates, adjust timer as needed over the next few days to ensure the desired temperatures
are achieved.
Static Aerated Pile Management
• Measure temperature of windrow at 3 different locations (front, middle, and back), using
certified thermometer from the lab. (See lab personnel for location).
• Record temperature readings in compost notebook in the lab. (See lab personnel for
location).
• Pile temperatures must average 40°C or greater for at least 14 days.
• Pile temperatures must reach 55°C or greater for a minimum of 3 days.
• After windrow has met time and temperature requirements leave air on until the windrow
is actually moved.
• Completed pile is moved to back of compost pad near limb pile.
• Fecal testing is to be done on the pile by lab personnel after being moved to the back of
the compost pad. (At a time when the lab decides).
Page I 1

• Samples are taken from three different areas of the windrow using the loader. The
samples are combined to make one sample for testing.
• At which time the fecal test is passed the lab will notify the compost operator.
• If the pile (windrow) should fail any test it would be reincorporated into new piles.
(See Failed Pile Section)
• Throughout the process batches will remain separate from each other and tracked
accordingly by the compost operator and lab personnel.
Distribution of Compost
• Trucks, trailers, or whatever the customer brings to receive compost is to be loaded in
front of the shed or off the ramp at the back of shed if needed.
• Load from one bay until empty then move on to the next bay. Do not mix up loads from
different batches.
• Each load distributed must be tracked.
• For every customer record the following: Name of compost recipient, Date of
distribution, Address of compost recipient, Amount of compost distributed (number
of scoops (loader buckets)), Intended use of materials.
• Offer a "Compost Handout" to each customer. Note on records if they take a handout.
• After loading vehicle, scrape up spillage from the compost pad.
General Housekeeping of Compost Area
• Keep area as clean of possible.
• Scrape up material from the compost pad; push back into the pile(s), wherever it came
from.
• Inspect ditch at windrows daily
c Keep ditch cleaned out
• Inspect corner drain daily
o Keep ditch cleaned out
• Observe drains / pad during rain events
o Note observations on daily sheet
• Observe road leading from compost pad for mulch, compost, and any other materials
o Clean up as necessary
• Use street sweeper around perimeter of plant semi-annually or as needed
Page 12

Failed Pile Section
• If a pile fails to meet the temperature requirements, it is to be reincorporated into new
piles.
• If a pile fails the required fecal test then it is to be reincorporated into new piles.
• When reincorporating failed compost material ensure it is evenly mixed among new piles
required to make 2 piles or more piles.
• Usually mix 1 scoop of failed material with every 2 or 3 scoops of newly mixed material.
• Further mixing will occur naturally when materials are moved to create the actual pile.
• By no means is failed material to leave the compost pad

Lake Rhodhiss Wastewater Treatment Plant
Spill Containment
We are fortunate at the Lake Rhodhiss Wastewater Treatment Plant because the residuals generation
and the compost site are adjacent to each other. The general spill response procedure at this facility is
to stop the source of the spill, contain any spilled material and clean up the spill in a timely manner to
preserve the environment and public health. Spills of residuals will be collected and moved to the
composting area.
Plan Management
The plant superintendent shall administer this plan and will be responsible for updating and including
any required documentation.
Training
All personnel who may respond to any spill, need to be familiar with the contents and procedures in this
plan.
Facility Inspections
Routine inspections will be conducted daily during regular business hours. Daily inspections will include,
at a minimum, a visual inspection of the materials and the area immediately adjacent to it for signs of a
spill. These inspections do not need to be logged unless a spill or leak outside of the composting area is
detected. Ideally, these inspections will be conducted by a manager or by regular employees.

Measure temperature of windrow at 3 different locations (front, middle,
and back), using certified thermometer from the lab. (See lab personnel for
location).
9 Record temperature readings in compost notebook in the lab. (See lab
personnel for location).
■ Pile temperatures must average 400C or greater for at least 14 days.
,rP Pile temperatures must reach 550C or greater for a minimum of 3 days.
* After windrow has met time and temperature requirements leave air on
until the windrow is actually moved.
# Completed pile is moved to back of compost pad near limb pile.
• Fecal testing is to be done on the pile by lab personnel after being moved
to the back of the compost pad. (At a time when the lab decides).
# Samples are taken from three different areas of the windrow using the
loader. The samples are combined to make one sample for testing.
At which time the fecal test is passed the lab will notify the compost
operator.
If the pile (windrow) should fail any test it would be reincorporated into
new piles. (See Failed Pile Section)
