Operation and Maintenance Plan
WQ0004095

Operations and Maintenance Plan
Residual Land Application Program
Permit No. WQ0004095
An Operation and Maintenance Plan shall be maintained for all residuals management
programs. The plan shall:
1. Operational functions; describe the operation of the program to show what
operations are necessary for the program to function and by whom the
functions are to be conducted;
Residuals generated in the PCS Phosphate Waste Water Treatment Plant, Permit Number
WQ0000889, are stored at the WWTP in four residuals holding tanks. Each tank has the
capacity to hold 6,200 gallons of residuals. Under normal conditions this is adequate
storage to allow operation of the WWTP while annually preparing and removing the
residuals for land application. The residuals are prepared for land application by plant
personal or contractors under the guidance of the Land Application ORC. Hydrated lime
is added to each tank to elevate the pH to 12.0. Additional lime is then added to ensure
the pH in each tank remains above 12.0 for a minimum of 24 hours. A composite sample
will be prepared by collecting equal portions of residuals from each residual holding tank.
This composite sample is submitted to a State Certified lab for analysis. Once the lab
confirms the stabilized residuals do not exceed the Ceiling Concentrations, as set forth in
the Land Application Permit Number WQ0004095, the residuals are scheduled for
removal from the residual holding tanks and application to the sites listed in the most
recently -certified Attachment B of Permit Number WQ0004095.
The residuals are removed, transported and applied by a contract company using their
equipment. The contractor applying the residuals will be monitored by the Land
Application ORC, or his designee and the Supervisor, Environmental Affairs.
2. Maintenance schedules; may include equipment calibration, maintenance
of signs, etc.
The facilities solely associate with the residuals management program consist of the
application sites listed in the most recently -certified Attachment B of Permit Number
WQ0004095. The maintenance of the land application sites includes mowing and
removal of the mature Coastal Bermuda Hay, road access maintenance and security
provisions maintenance. We use a contract landscape company to mow and collect the
Coastal Bermuda as well as to maintain the access roads. The security provisions include
access gates and signage. These items are monitored by the Land Application ORC and
required maintenance is scheduled as necessary. The residual holding tanks are
maintained as part of WWTP associate with PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.

The land application sites are inspected monthly by the Land Application ORC or his
designee. During these inspections the entrance gate, informational signs, condition of
the fields and height of the Coastal Bermuda are monitored. Prior to applying residuals
and within a week of application the fields are inspected by the ORC or the
Environmental Engineer -Water.
3. Safety measures; may include safety training program, manuals, signs, etc.
Access is limited to the Land Application Site by a locked gate. Signs indicating the area
is used for application of stabilized WWTP residuals are posted.
4. Spill response plan; including control, containment, remediation,
emergency contact information, etc.
The likely hood of spills occurring during the loading of the stabilized residuals is low.
The loading process occurs mainly on concrete minimizing the impact in the event a spill
does occur.

applying residuals and within a week of application the fields are inspected by the ORC
or the Environmental Engineer -Water. Deficiencies if present are reported to the
Environmental Engineer -Water.

6. Sampling and monitoring plan including the following information;
Residuals prepared for land application will be sampled by collecting a composite
sample. This sample will be prepared by collecting equal portions of residuals from each
residual holding tank. This composite sample is submitted to a State Certified lab for
analysis as required in Permit No. WQ0004095. Residuals sampling will be done at the
direction of the ORC, Larry Dale Davis. Sampling is required annually prior to the first
application of residuals.
Soil samples are collected annually from the land application sites and are submitted for
analysis. The results are used to ensure adequate nutrients are available for crop
production. These samples are collect by the Land Application ORC or his designee.

Dedicated System Program Information
WQ0004095

Dedicated Svstem Program Information
Land Application
WQ0004095
Provide an explanation of why a dedicated system is required instead of a conventional
non -dedicated system.
The residuals program meets the definition of a "dedicated land application site" since
the primary use of the 9.9 acres is the disposal of residuals and agricultural crop
production is of secondary importance. Due to the scale of the operation the cost to
produce the Coastal Bermuda Hay exceeds its market value.
Provide an explanation of the dedicated system and its operation.
The land application site consists of two adjacent fields totaling 9.9 acres. The fields are
planted with Coastal Bermuda. Residuals from the Nutrien (formerly PCS) WWTP are
routinely applied once a year. Residuals may be applied twice in a calendar year when
upset conditions occur.
The residuals are stabilized by adding high calcium lime until the pH exceeds 12.0.
Additional lime is then added to ensure the pH remains above 12 for a minimum of 24
hours. A composite sample is collected and submitted to a state certified lab to ensure
the ceiling concentrations are not exceeded. The residuals are transported and surface
applied to the fields using a vacuum truck. The concentration of metals in the stabilized
residuals will allow continued use of these two fields for the life of the PCS Phosphate
WWTP. The hay produced is cut, collected and removed from the fields.
