Program Information JJICKORY North Carolina Life. Well Crafted. Hickory Regional Compost Facility Program Information Transportation of Residuals: The Regional Compost Facility (RCF) receives biosolids from the City of Hickory, City of Conover, Town of Maiden, City of Claremont, Town of Catawba, as well as the City of Newton as an emergency backup to their land application program. Each contributing facility prepares their biosolids using different processes specific to their site before it is transported to the RCF to be processed into high organic soil amendment (compost). The biosolids are transported via tanker trucks that carry approximately 6,500 gallons per load from the facilities. The Town of Maiden uses a 2,000 gallon tanker. Processing and Treatment of Residuals The Regional Compost Facility (RCF) is a twenty dry tons per day (20 DT/D) in -vessel facility that utilizes the Ashbrook-Simon-Hartley (A-S-H) Tunnel Reactor Technology. The RCF is owned by three local governments, comprised of the cities of Hickory, Conover, and Catawba County. These three local governments formed a Sludge Consortium for the management and disposal of their combined municipal wastewater biosolids. Class A wastewater residuals are processed at the RCF and distributed in bulk to various customers in full compliance and accordance with the provisions and requirements set forth by Permit No. WQ0004563. The RCF is located on a 15-acre site in Hickory that is equidistant from all consortium members. It is comprised of biosolids liquid storage, dewatering, in -vessel composting, product storage, odor control, and pretreatment effluent facilities. The biosolids are prepared for beneficial use as finished compost, analyzed, classified, and marketed in bulk for a variety of land applications. The pretreated effluent and leachate from the outside curing process is discharged to the City of Hickory's collection system. Municipal liquid biosolids are hauled in tanker trucks to the receiving station and deposited into two underground storage tanks with a holding capacity of approximately 190,000 gallons. The liquid biosolids from six different wastewater plants are blended in the liquid storage tanks to provide a more consistent biosolids before being pumped to the dewatering facilities. The mixed liquid biosolids are initially pumped to a blend tank, prior to polymer addition and dewatering. The wood amendment is stored in a silo and is conveyed to the dewatering room using screw conveyors. The liquid biosolids are dewatered using a centrifuge. Wood amendment and recycled compost are added to the cake solids and mixed mechanically before being transported by drag -flight conveyors to one of four parallel aerated tunnel reactors. The partially treated effluent is discharged to the City of Hickory's collection system. The tunnel reactors are sized to provide a minimum of 14 days, at a loading rate of 20 DT/D (five days per week), of solids retention time for the compost mixture prior to discharge. The current loading rate is at 9.06 DTID and the current retention time is 27.9 days. The mixture is fed into the end of each reactor and is then moved horizontally by a hydraulic push system. This method of transport creates a plug flow of the compost material through the tunnel reactors. These tunnel reactors provide a carefully controlled environment in which the beneficial microorganisms rapidly convert the biosolids into compost. Each reactor is divided into seven zones where airflow, temperature, and moisture can be regulated individually. The discharge compost is either recycled back to the mixing equipment for further processing, or discharged by a belt conveyor to a concrete curing/storage pad. This pad was sized to allow for product storage and aeration during a 30 to 60 day curing process. The final product is distributed to various end users including topsoil blenders, landscapers, the general public, sod farmers, and other agricultural users. Two odor control systems are utilized to treat foul air produced at the RCF. One system consists of a two -stage packed tower wet chemical scrubber with an induced draft fan and exhaust fan. This unit is rated at 9,500 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and is used to control odors from the biosolids at the receiving station, as well as any odor coming from the pretreatment system. The other odor control system consists of a 72,000 CFM, three -stage, packed -bed wet chemical scrubber with an induced draft fan and exhaust fan. Foul air is directed to two parallel trains that can handle 36,000 CFM each. This unit scrubs the air from the main building where the processing occurs, and also the off gases from the tunnel reactors. The unit keeps the composting process under negative aerations and effectively removes the odorous compounds associated with biosolids composting, Leachate Collection All leachate produced during the curing and storage of the compost is contained and collected on the concrete curing/storage pads. The leachate is piped to the on -site pretreatment facility before being discharged to the City of Hickory's wastewater collection system. Residual Storage Untreated residuals are stored in two underground storage tanks with a combined capacity of approximately 190,000 gallons. Final Product Distribution The final Class A Compost product is distributed in bulk to various end users including topsoil blenders, landscapers, the general public, sod farmers, and for other agricultural uses. Nutrient Information See Attached Information Sheet Marketability Statement The Regional Compost Facility produces Class A Exceptional Quality Compost with an annual production rate of approximately 27,000 cubic yards.

Description of discharae practices: The Regional Compost Facility (RCF) begins the daily processing at approximately 7:00 am and is usually under normal operating conditions completed by 5:00 pm. The process includes receiving biosolids from the WWTP's of Hickory, Conover, Maiden, Catawba Claremont, and domestic septage waste. The primary process begins with dewatering the incoming biosolids from an average of 3.5 percent to approximately 25% solids by the use of a J Spin centrifuge.. The effluents from the processes are discharged to the City of Hickory's Henry Fork WWTP. Approximately 120,000 through the centrifuge. The odor control blowdown water runs 24 hours per day 7 days a week at approximately 8 gallons per minute or 11,520 gallons per day. The processing flow is drastically reduced from 260 gallons per minute to approximately 8 gallons per minute when the processing of the biosolids is complete. D.

The heights of the tunnels are twelve feet giving us the capability to reach the center of the mass. There are seven sampling ports along the top of the tunnels from the front to the back. After discharge the compost is put on an aerated curing pad for further curing and maturation of the product. During this time (from 30 to 40 days) temperatures are again recorded with six foot thermometers into the center of the mass and recorded. Temperature probes are calibrated weekly using a certified calibrated thermometer, which is certified annually. PROCESS CONTROL SAMPLING Receiving: Each truck that delivers provides a sample from their load. Each sample is tested for pH and its dry solids content. Amendment Receiving: One composite grab sample is made and is tested for dry solids and weighed for density. Dewatering: Four grab samples are collected throughout the day of the influent, discharge, and effluent. These are tested for dry solids. The discharge is weighed for density. Composting: One grab sample is collected for each tunnel of the four tunnels infeed and outfeed. These are tested for dry solids and weighed for density. Odor Control.

Samplers: Project Manager— Phillip Reynolds Operations Lead — Mario Trujillo Maintenance Lead — Nicholas Shoemaker Compost Samglinq Guideline Daby compost utilization C.A. Gerngross, M.L. McFarland and W.H. Thompson The sampling of compost Is an essential aspect of process monitoring, quality control, marketing, labeling of product and regulatory compliance. This sampling gulde should be used to assess the quality of a finished product. By followirig these guidelines, the compost facility initiates the first step in participating In the US Composting Council's Seal of Testing Assurance Program ("STA"). Please consult Test Methods for the Examination of Composting and Compost, Method 02.01-B online at http:lltmecc.orgttmeccl for original Information related to this sampling guideline. MATERIALS * Front-end loader * 15 carp -size compost samples per cut * Sterilized sampling tool or glove * Sterilized collection bucket(s) for cut areas * 2, 5-gal sterilized mixing palls * 2, 1-gal sample storage containers, (e.g., resealable plastic containers) * 514 bleach solution + Aluminum foil * Newspaper, Butcher or Kraft paper * Rigid shipping container, (e,g., cardboard box, etc.) * Frozen ice packs * Packing tape WHAT TO SAMPLE TMECC Method 02.01-8 describes composite sampling to assess in -process compost and finished compost product, However, this sample guideline addresses the procedure for sampling a finished product. A composite sample Is a single sample composed of multiple, well -blended subsamples that, after thorough mixing, represents the traits of interest for an entire pile or windrow. .Select a screened pile or a finished windrow waiting to be screened. Avoid sampling from areas that are excessively wet, I.e., greater than about 60% moisture. WHERE TO SAMPLE Using a front-end loader, cut into the pile or windrow in at least 5 locations (figure 1). The 5 cuts must be randomly assigned and may be selected from either side of the windrow or pile. Cut Into the entire depth of the pile and at least Into half of the width of the pile. The cut should expose the middle of the pile from Its natural base to Its natural peak. Take all necessary precautions that the walls of each cut are stable to prevent the potenfisl for collapse. Also, make certain the sampling area is well ventilated to avoid exposure to potentially harmful gases. Cut-out. profile ® a /15Grab 0 0 Figure 1. Cross -sectional Illustradon of one cut- out from an Inverted "V" compost windrow. Circles represent 15 uniformly dispersed grab samples. Avoid collection of samples from pile or windrow surfaces. PMARM IN COOPERATION WITH TM TEXAS COMMISSION ON MUONIvWAL QUALITY AND U S. a-IMONMENTAL PROTACTION AQENCY The praparstlou ofthis reportwas SnancM through gents from tha llS. Pinvironmental Proiee6on Agency through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. HOW TO SAMPLE Collect 15 uniformly dispersed 1-cup samples from within one side of each of the 5 cut areas as illustrated In figure 1. Combine and thoroughly mix -the 15 grab samples in the sterilized collection bucket. Repeat this process for each cut area. In the 2 sterilized 5-gal mixing palls, combine all samples from the 5 cuts .and thoroughly mix to make one composite sample. -if bails form when mixing, the compost is too wet and should be partially air- dried prior to- further mixing. Sample integrity Is diminished and nitrogen loss should be anticipated when a sample Is air-dried prior to shipping. Quarter the composite sample by repeatedly dividing it In half until you have a 2-gal sample. Gently transfer the 2-gal sample Into the 2 1-gal plastic resealabie storage containers. Do not compact the compost sarriples, SANITATION PROCEDURES Use a sterilized sampling tool and collection bucket made of stainless steel, plastic, glass or Teflon® to avoid sample contamination. Sterilize all sampling equipment before sampling and between different windrows or piles. To sterilize, wash sampling tools with'soap and water, rinse with 5% bleach solution and then'triple. rinse with fresh water. Wear appropriate protective clothing and use care when .handling bleach or any other chemicals. SAMPLE PRESERVATION After packaging samples in 1-gal containers, chill them to about 40C (39°F). Separately wrap each chilled sample cmitalner together with an ice pack, using multiple layers of newspaper, butcher or kraft paper. Line the Inside of a rigid shipping container and Its lid with aluminum foil. The paper and foil will help to insulate the shipping container. Place wrapped samples In the shipping container, filling voids between the sample containers and shipping container wails and lid with crumpled newspaper, butcher or kraft paper. Seal the lid on the shipping container with packing tape. Send the shipping container by 1-day delivery to your selected laboratory for analysis. Laboratories that follow TMECC protocols must be approved through the STA program. A list of participating laboratories Is available online at http:lltmecc.orglsta/ WHEN TO SAMPLE This Is an end: -process sampling so only material that is ready for market should be tested. According to STA program requirements, sampling frequency should be based on a facility's production capacity. * 1 to 6,250 tons — sample once per quarter 6,250 tons to 17,600 tons — sample once per 2 months a 17,600 tons and above -- sample once per month For more Information concerning the Marketing Dairy Compost project or the STA program, please contact Cecilia Gerngross by email (cecifla@tamu.edu) or phone (979.468.1138). 14, Meat{" programs arTaxas Texas Water Cooperative Bxtensionamopen to Irroc [VB Resources Institute al[ people sa biaut regard to Age. �,i co3o , sex, disability, religion, ago, or /- " q � n1Uh•MA�•drt�i[mn,e y � national origin.

BIOSOLIDS PROCESSED AND DISTRIBUTED A. Biosolids Processed The amount of biosolids received and processed for beneficial use and disposal at the RCF during the 2023 annual reporting period was 2,478 metric dry tons (MDT), A summary of the monthly biosolids dewatering data is provided in the Operations Summary Performance Tables, Exhibit 2 for the belt filter press (BFP) and/or centrifuge operations at the RCF will support documentation and information for the following computation of the actual MDT of biosolids prepared for use and disposal in 2023. 2023 Operations — 2,478 MDT 1. Dry short tons of biosolids loaded to the centrifuge: Dry short tons = totalized centrifuge load (DT) from 01 /01 /22 - 12131/22. = 3.012 DT 2. Dry short tons of biosolids captured by the centrifuge: Dry short tons = totalized centrifuge load (DT) x avg . solids capture {%} = 3.012 x 0.928 = 2,732 DT 3. Metric dry tons of biosolids processed for beneficial use: Metric dry tons = total centrifuge captured dry short tons (DT) x conversion factor 2,732 x 0.907 w 2.478 MDT B. Biosolids Compost Produced and Distributed The amount of biosolids produced and distributed for beneficial use and disposal at the RCF during the 2023 annual reporting period was 2,796 metric dry tons (MDT). A summary of the monthly Class A biosolids compost marketing data is provided in the Operations Summary Performance Tables (Exhibit 2). The 2023 annual compost marketing and distribution activities at the RCF are summarized in the following computation of the actual MDT of biosolids compost produced and distributed to market. 2023 Distribution —3.186 MDT 1. Dry short tons of biosolids compost produced and marketed Dry short tons = total discharged material (DT) from 01/01/22 - 12/31/22, = 3,513 DT 2. Metric dry tons ofbiosolids compost produced for beneficial use: Metric dry tons = total production of dry short tons (DT) x conversion factor = 3.513 x 0.907 = 3,186 MDT The determination of the dry short tons of biosolids received and loaded to the belt filter presses and/or centrifuge is shown in a computerized RCF Operations Performance Summary report (as Exhibit 2) and computerized RCF Distribution and Marketing documentation (Exhibit 1), This biosolids loading has been determined by monitoring the number of belt filter presses and/or centrifuges in service (1 or 2), the actual run time hours each 24 hour operating day, direct flow metering of the volumetric rate of sludge feed (gallons per day - GPD), and gravimetrically analyzing the time -composite sample of feed sludge for total solids (% TS) using Standard Methods Part 2540 G., (APHA, 1992). A composite of the feed solids, calve solids, and filtrate solids were obtained daily to compute a materials balance around the belt filter presses and/or centrifuge to determine solids capture (%). Since the RCF does not have a weigh belt on its sludge cake conveyor belt, the generated amount of biosolids for in -vessel composting was determined by performing a daily materials balance of the dewatering process. All of the dewatered sludge cake was processed in the Tunnel Reactor in -vessel composting facility. Thus, all biosolids loaded and captured at the BFP and/or CentriRtge represents the biosolids generation and processing basis for the Annual Report and the amount of biosolids prepared as finished compost for land application in accordance with 40 CFR Part 503. The deterinination of the dry short tons of biosolids compost produced and distributed is also shown in the Operations Performance Summary Report (as Exhibit 2), The dry tons are calculated by obtaining composite outfeed samples daily and using the total solids and density data for calculation. The dry ton totals are obtained by using the percent solids content of the wet mass weight. (Total dry tons = total yards of compost produced x density x % solids content of the wet mass.) III. BIOSOLIDS USE & DISPOSAL PRACTICES The biosolids received at the Regional Compost Facility (RCP) were beneficially used at the on -site dewatering and in -vessel composting facility. The biosolids management and disposal practices are the beneficial use of sewage sludge via composting to produce a high quality soil product which was distributed in bulk for application to the land in accordance with 40 CFR Part 503, Subpart B regulations. The biosolids processing train and management practices at the RCF consists of receiving and storage of liquid biosolids and wood amendments, mechanical belt filter presses and/or centrifuge dewatering, in -vessel biosolids composting, outside curing and maturation product storage, foul air scrubbing, and wastewater pretreatment. The RCF is a PFRP facility and produces a Class A `exceptional quality' biosolids compost product. As will be certified herein, all of the composted biosolids achieve the minimum time and temperature requirements to achieve both PF'RP and VAR as an aerobic composting process in which the in -feed mixture receives plug -flow treatment within the :Four tunnel reactors over an average of 28 days to achieve the necessary biosolids stabilization levels. Compliance certifications are provided in the NC DWR compliance forms (as Exhibit 1), SUBPART B - LAND APPLICATION Process Monitoring, Record Keenina. and Renortina Descrintion The Regional Compost Facility is substantially automated with numerous on-line and continuous reading instruments (i.e. sludge flaw meters, air flow meters, auger speeds) to monitor the process and ensure that PFRP requirements are net. The various on-line equipment and instrumentation were calibrated routinely by Veolia's electrical and instrumentation staff and adjustments were i nade for calibration, if required. In accordance with Veolia's standards for quality assurance/quality control (QAIQC), precision and accuracy determinations were made to ensure that high quality reproducible data is generated. The monitoring data from these devices were retrieved continuously by a computer system, where data was archived and performance reports generated. Daily and monthly operator log forms and computer reports document various operating parameters required for demonstration of compliance with 40 CFR Part 503 Regulations. These parameters include system mass (wet toes and dry tons) and volume (cubic yards) amounts of biosolids, amendments, and compost; in -vessel A-S-1-I Tunnel Reactors; composting and Curing processes; in -vessel reactors and odor control system airflows, etc. Monthly RCF operations and performance data are summarized in tables (as Exhibit 2). Analvtical Results for Monitored Pollutants V'eolia analyzed the finished compost produced at the RCF for various pollutants required and listed in Tables 1 and 3 of 40 CFR Part 503.13. We are pleased to report that full compliance was achieved in 2022 with these limitations and the corresponding classification of the finished compost as a Class A `exceptional duality' biosolids residual product (data in Exhibit 1 forms). 1n accordance with Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 503.16, the frequency of monitoring, composite sampling, and analysis of the composted biosolids for the pollutants listed in Table 3 is bimonthly (6 times per year). This testing frequency was determined on the basis of the 2,478 dry metric tons (DMT) of biosolids processed and the 3,186 DMT marketed as finished compost to beneficial uses. We have also analyzed on a routine and as needed basis, the essential nutrient, stability, and maturity, decomposition, and odor parameters of the finished product to characterize its quality for various beneficial uses, prior to its distribution. We have provided the essential finished compost duality parameters and nutrients information to end users to ensure the proper application as a suitable bulk organic product (data in Exhibit 1 forms). Pathogeen Reduction Rcauirements - Alternative A5 (PFRP) As previously stated, the Regional Compost Facility is a "Process 'ro Further Reduce Pathogens" (PFRP) system for treatment and beneficial use of dewatered biosolids. This section of the Annual Report states that VWNAOS and the Consortium have utilized Class A Pathogen Reduction using Alternative A5 - PFRP via Composting to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR Part 503.32(a)(7) and in continuity with 40 CFR Part 257 regulations. The temperature of the biosolids inside the Tunnel Reactors was maintained at 55 deg. C (131 deg. F) or higher for at least three (3) days. An Annual PFRP compliance certification statement is provided in the DWR forms (as I,xhibit 1). The compost product is also placed on the outdoor curing pad for further maturation and curing. Final curing temperatures were also maintained greater than 55 deg.0 (13I deg. F) or higher for at least three days. Please refer to the Operations Performance Summary Tables (Exhibit 2) of monthly data for the in -vessel composting time and aerobic process temperatures, as well as the compost curing piles data retention times and temperatures. The design capacity of the four A-S-H 'runnel Reactors is approximately 54,432 ft (2,016 yd.). The standard operating procedure (SOP) for processing biosolids in the A-S-H in - vessel composting system employs a process using single stage horizontal plug flow. The raw (in -feed) compost was deposited in the front of the Tunnel Reactors with the addition of sawdust amendment and recycle material and discharged after active in -vessel composting and initial curing (out -feed compost) from the end of each reactor. Thus, the active composting phase occurs in the first two-thirds of each Tunnel Reactor and partial curing occurs in the remaining third of each Tunnel Reactor. The material is then placed on an outside curing pad for additional maturation, stabilization and cooling of the compost product before being distributed to the end users. Based upon site -specific monitoring of the bulls density of the in -feed mixture compost and recording of the number of hydraulic ram pushes for each Tunnel Reactor, the volumetric loading (cyldy) is accurately determined for each processing day_ This volumetric loading was divided into the fixed total reactor capacity to compute the "actual" Solids Retention Time (days). The actual SRT considering compaction and materials compression in 2023 averaged 37.7 days as shown in the monthly Operation Performance Summary Tables (Exhibit 2). During this in -vessel composting period, at least three (3) days of processing time was continuously available to achieve PFRP in the Tunnel Reactors as the in -feed compost traveled horizontal from the front to the back of the 63 foot long reactor and eventually discharged as out -feed compost. The product is then discharged and moved to the final curing process for up to 60 additional days before finished compost testing, and subsequent product distribution. Seven sampling ports are installed along the length of each 'funnel Reactor to monitor temperature within the compost biomass. A total of twenty-eight (28) discrete measurements of temperature in the compost process are monitored and recorded by the compost facility personnel for documentation, The side and top sampling ports give the facility the ability to measure temperatures in each tunnel manually with an operator - inserted probe. The average of certain aeration zone temperature readings provides the daily determination of PFRP for the Turnrel Reactors. These daily PFRP temperature logs were documented for each Tunnel Reactor and are reported on the monthly Operation Performance Summary Tables (Exhibit 2) to document the composting process was maintained at or above 55 deg, C during the period of January through December 2023 to comply with Alternative A5 of 40 CFR Part 503.32. As shown in Exhibit 2, the average PFRP temperature for all four Tunnel Reactors was 64.1 deg. C. In accordance with 40 CFR Part 503.32(a)(7), the composted biosoiids was analyzed for Fecal Coliform at the time it was being prepared for distribution into the market place for final land application and was found to be below compliance limits. The bimonthly composite samples were prepared for Fecal Coliform analysis on a dry weight basis and analyzed in accordance with Standard Methods Part SM9221 CE. As shown in Exhibit 1, the Fccal Coliform measured for discharged compost from the RCF in 2023 indicates no exceedances, all results were well below the acceptable limits. The maximum Fecal Coliformn density measured in 2023 for all samples was 116 MPN per g. The laboratory reports of pathogen testing results are provided as Exhibit 4.

The facility receives biosolids from four municipal wastewater treatment plants with a combined capacity of 20 MGD, plus county septage, and effectively turns it into an earthy, beneficial soil conditioner suitable for landscaping and horticultural applications. The Composting Process Tanker trucks transport liquid biosolids and treated septage to a receiving station at the composting facility site. These loads are mixed together at the plant, blended with wood amendments, and then dewatered using a centrifuge. Additional amendment is combined with the dewatered mixture to add porosity and provide a carbon food source for the working microorganisms. The mixture is then loaded into one of the facility's four composting reactors. These Tunnel Reactors provide a carefully controlled environment in which the beneficial microorganisms rapidly convert the biosolids into compost. Each rector is divided into seven separate zones where air flow, temperature, and moisture can be regulated individually. The biosolids remain in the reactors for approximately 30 days, depending on the loading rates. Upon leaving the reactors, the compost is then transported to a curing pad where it is placed in windrows and cured for 14 to 30 days. Benefits The Regional Composting Facility is providing the beneficial utilization of a necessary byproduct of municipal wastewater treatment. Compost produced at the plant is being used commercially as well as by the participating local governments.

Biosolids from the WWTF will either be primary solids or waste activated sludge (WAS), Primary solids from the existing primary clarifiers will flow by gravity into the existing primary sludge (PS) holding basin. WAS from the biological treatment process will be pumped to the sludge pump station. WAS will be thickened by a gravity belt thickener before being pumped into either TWAS Holding Basin No. 1 or No. 2. Biosolids from other local WWTFs will enter Henry Fork WWTF through the Solids Receiving Station and piped to TWAS Holding Basin No. 1 or No. 2. TWAS will be mixed with PS and pumped to a new belt filter press for dewatering, From the belt filter press, the TWASIPS will be transferred via a series of screw conveyors into the Cake Storage Bin, for holding until processing through the Biosolids Dryer. Cake will be pumped to the Biosolids Dryer where it will be dried to greater than 90% solids. A drag conveyor will transfer dried cake to a covered dried product storage area where it can be collected by or transported to the end user for disposal. A process flow diagram is presented in the Residuals Management Plan (see Appendix A of the Operations and Maintenance Plan in Attachment H). Leachate collection will be handled via a trench drain which will convey all leachate and other wastewaters generated from biosolids processing to the headworks of the WWTF. The final product will be distributed via bulk truckloads. D.1.2 Residuals Management Plan The Residuals Management Plan, submitted and approved by NCDEQ as part of the Authorization to Construct Permit, provides additional information on materials storage, handling, and processing. A copy of the plan is included in the Operation and Maintenance Plan. D.2 Marketability Statement Residuals from the Henry Fork Biosolids Processing Facility will be made available to the public for purchase via bulk truckloads at a mass of up to 4,000 dry tons per year. An information sheet will be provided to purchasers that details all laws and regulations relating to the application of Class A residuals. Residuals that are not purchased will be transported to a landfill for disposal. D.3 Product Information Sheet A product information sheet will be provided after sampling is completed.

This facility receives solids from the City's WWTFs and other consortium members and produces Class A compost. The City is currently in the process of significant upgrades to the influent and solids handling portions of the Henry Fork Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). With these upgrades, there will be changes to the City's residuals management process. The following plan describes the new process that will be constructed and operated for treating and disposing residuals from the wastewater treatment plant process. This plan will eventually replace the existing Residuals Management Plan for the Compost Facility once the compost facility has been decommissioned. 1.1 Wastewater Process The Henry Fork WWTF is a 9.0 MGD Biological Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment Facility. The process will consist of an equalization basin, barscreens, vortex grit chamber, two (2) primary clarifiers, two (2) aeration basins, two (2) secondary clarifiers, chlorinationldechlorination, sludge holding tank with aeration, and sludge truck loading facility. The WWTF discharges into the Henry Fork River, which is a Class C stream in the Catawba River Basin. The solids handling equipment will entail the following: Table 1 Wastewater Process Equipment Quantity Description Septage Receiving 1 150 to 300 gpm Station Primary Clarifiers 2 80 ft / 4.5 MGD each Primary Sludge Holding 1 203,000 gallons Basin Secondary Clarifiers 2 Two (2) 4.2 hr detention time 635 gal/d/ft2 overflow Gravity Thickener 1 660 dry lbs/hr Thickened Waste 2 220,000 gallons Activated Sludge Holding Basin 141,000 gallons Solids Receiving Station 1 37,000 gal/day Belt Filter Press 1 1950 Dry lbslhr Dual Unit Belt Filter 1 660 dry lbslhr in thickening mode Press 1950 Dry lbslhr in dewatering mode Dryer 1 12.2 dry tons/day Covered Storage 1 12,900 ft2 of covered storage; 5 month design Note: Please see the attached Proposed Biosolids Process Flow Diagram and Design Criteria Sheets. City of Hickory I Henry Fork WWTF Solids Handling Facilities Upgrade - Residuals Management Plan Introduction 1.2 Residuals Characteristics The Henry Fork WWTF will operate a new dryer process for the treatment of primary and secondary residuals generated though the WWTF process, as well as off -site solids from several plants in the region; potential contributors include the following: • Northeast WWTF (NEWWTF, City of Hickory) • Hickory Water Treatment Facility (currently sends solids to NEWWTF) • Hickory -Catawba WWTF (City of Hickory) • Claremont Mclin WWTF • Claremont North WWTF • Conover Newton (Clark Creek) WWTP • Conover Northeast WWTF Historical solids data from the RSMF are shown in Table 2. Table 2: Solids delivery data as received at RSMF Average Daily Volume (gallons) Daily Mass (DT) % TS Maximum Daily Volume (gallons) Daily Mass (DT) % TS Northeast Henry Hickory- Claremont Claremont Conover Conover Fork Catawba McLin North Northeast Newton 19,800 33,000 15,900 6,100 14,400 14,800 15,500 3.3 5.1 0.93 0.61 1.5 2.3 2.9 4.0 3.7 1.5 2.4 2.3 3.7 39,000 45,500 39,000 10,500 32,500 32,500 4.4 36,000 8.7 8.8 4.4 1.4 3.3 5.4 6.7 6.1 6.2 3.3 2.3 4.0 6.1 8.9 1.3 Thickening Waste activated sludge (WAS) produced onsite at HFWWTF will be thickened before mixing upstream of dewatering with off -site solids (which is primarily TWAS). This will lessen the fluid load and volumetric flow rate to dewatering and in the holding basins upstream. If HFWWTF WAS were not thickened, the maximum month volumetric flow rate would overwhelm the holding basins and the volumetric load to dewatering would be increased. WAS will be pumped from the secondary clarifier then conditioned with polymer before the gravity belt thickener. The gravity belt thickener will be sized to handle 660 dry Ibslhr for 40 hours a week. Thickened solids will then be sent to the thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS) holding basin. Redundancy is provided by the dual belt filter press. 1.4 Dewatering Belt filter presses were selected for dewatering the TWAS. Solids stored in the TWAS and primary sludge (PS) holding basins will be pumped to the Solids Processing Building, 2 City of Hickory I Henry Fork VWVTF Solids Handling Facilities Upgrade - Residuals Management Plan Introduction conditioned with polymer and pressed using one (1) of the two (2) belt filter presses, each rated at 1,950 dry lb/hr solids feed. Redundancy is provided by the dual belt filter press. 1.5 Filtrate Collection Filtrate from the new solids handling operations will be collected from the system and will drain to and flow by gravity to the headworks. 1.6 Drying Drying is a process used for the stabilization of solids and biosolids by decomposing organic and inorganic matter via heat. Drying is commonly used in wastewater treatment to significantly reduce the mass and volume of solids. Dried biosolids product can then be either land applied by local farmers or landfilled for less cost than cake. The dryer size is based on supplying enough evaporative capacity to support significant solids stabilization and reach at least 90% total solids in order to obtain Class A biosolids. The dryer design criteria are seen in Table 3.

It is assumed that land application is the primary destination for the dried biosolids, but land application periods may only occur twice per year (based on agricultural practices). Therefore, storage is necessary to accumulate the dried product until it can be land applied; this accumulation period is approximately 5 months, assuming 2 periods per year for 1 month duration apiece. The other purpose of Dried Product City of Hickory I Henry Fork WWiF Solids Handling Facilities Upgrade - Residuals Management Plan introduction Storage is to keep the product dry and prevent precipitation from re -wetting it. The design criteria are shown in Table 4. A covered storage structure with a truck loading facility may include the following components and features: • Concrete foundation with walls on three sides. o Walls designed for loads from pushing dried biosolids with heavy equipment. • Steel framed structure and roof system to keep the product dry. • Conveyer deposits dried product in one or multiple locations in the structure and operators manually spread the product out with a bulldozer. • Paved apron near the open side of the structure for loader access and to load open -top trucks. • Trucks loaded with a wheel loader by an operator.

At a minimum of 6 months prior to construction completion/start-up the permit application will be developed and submitted to NCDBQ for development and issue of a Class A Land Application Permit. The City will have multiple options available for the disposal and beneficial reuse of these solids, options include: • Land Application of dried biosolids (Class A) • Disposal through the Catawba County Landfill (Back-up) City of Hickory I Henry Fork WVVTF Solids Handling Facilities Upgrade - Residuals Management Plan Introduction Prior to construction completionlstart-up, the City of Hickory will issue a Request for Qualifications and will select contractor(s). Upon receiving the new permit, the residuals contractor(s) will be responsible for beneficial reuse. If beneficial use is not available for any reason, the City will be responsible for landfill disposal. .10 Reference Material A formal design, sizing and equipment engineering report has been generated and submitted regarding the upgrades to the solids handling project.
