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. The product market consists of customers
in the business of soil blending, turf farming, golf courses, landscaping, tree farming, nurseries,
soil erosion, and agriculture. The local market has been favorable for biosolids compost within
the area.

Spill Rcsponse Plan

REGIONAL COMPOST FACILITY, HICKORY NC
CHEMICAL SLUG/SPILL CONTROL PLAN
A. 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.

SAMPLING PLAN
TEMPERATURE
DAILY: Operators take tunnel temperatures with a six foot thermometer. 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. Daily pH and Total Chlorine Residual: Weekly air monitoring: Ammonia,
Amines, Hydrogen Sulfide, ❑imethyl Sulfide, Dimethyl Disulfide and Methyl Mercaptan are
tested on the influent and effluent of the odor control systems.
Pretreatment: Monthly composite sampling per the City of Newton's Pretreatment Permit.

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.

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

11.7 Adhesive Tape —duct tape, 5-om (2-in) width.
12. Procedures for Method B
12.1 Cut into PYnished Compost Using tractor skid -
loader, bobcat or shovel, or sample boring device, out
into the finished compost pile or windrow at five or
more randomly selected positions, Collect samples
from the full profile and breadth of the compost
windrow or pile, -Refer to Fig 02.01 B1.
112 Collect Paint-Sample"ampies of equal
volume are extracted from the compost pile at three
depths or zones measured from the pile's uppermost
surface. Collect no less than five point -samples from
each of the three depths or zones illustrated in Fig
02.01-S2. The five point samples for .each zone must
be collected in a manner to accurately represent the
horizorital crass -section of the windrow or Vila.' Use a
sanitized sampling tool (a gloved hand, clean shovel or
auger) when collecting samples and when transferring
samples to the 5-0 sample collection pail.
Test Methods for the Examination of ComposOng and Compost

Pig 02.01-W Fiva horizontally dispersed point -samples are
colleoted from each of three depths or zones within each cutout.
NOTE 3B--(1) upper tla of compost profile height; (2) middle
1/3 of compost profile height; and (3) lower % of compost
pmfile height where compost pile does not exceed the
recommended ovcrsll height of 3 m. Create more than three
sampling depths or zones within each cutout when the curing
pile exceeds a height of 3 ra, ralative variability is high or the
property of interest is found at very low concentrations, new the
laboratory detection limit,
12.3 Composite Point -Samples —Place all 15 point
samples from one cutout together into one sanitized
plastic pail. Completely mix the point samples by
stirring thoroughly with a sanitized wooden stick or
lath, and by covering and shaking the pail to further
mix the samples,
12.3.1 Repeat the blending process at least four times
until all point samples are thoroughly blended to form
one composite sample that accurately represents the
compost for the cutout.
12.3.2 Proceed to the next compost sample cutout
and repeat this process to collect one thoroughly
blended composite sample from each of the five
cutouts.
12.3.3 Composite Sample Transfer the five
composite samples from the sample collection pails
onto a mining tarp or other appropriately sanitized
surface or container, such as into a large pail where all
samples can be mixed, blended and then covered to
minimize moisture loss. Thoroughly blend the five
composite samples to form one large sample that
represents the average condition of the entire batch or
windrow in question.
12.3.3.1 Quarter the composite sample and
thoroughly mix and quarter again. Continue to
subdivide and split the sample into quarters and mix as
described until sample size reaches approximately 12 L
(3 gal).
12.4 Stradf/led Sampling —This sample collection
strategy is used to evaluate for the presence of spatial
variations or gradients in compost characteristics across
and through a windrow or pile.
12.4.1 Strallffed Samples across Cutouts —Use this
sanlpliMg strategy to test for differences in compost
characteristics between sample cutouts and along the
longer dimension of a windrow. Do not composite
materials from the five separate cutouts when

monitoring for the presence of gradients along the
longer dimension of a windrow. Pack and prepare five
separate samples (i.e., five separate composite samples,
one from each cutout) for shipment as described in step
12.5.
12.4.2 Stratoed Samples within Cutouts --Use this
sampling strategy to evaluate for the presence of spatial
variations or gradients that occur with changes in pile
depth or distance from the windrow core to its surface.
12.5 Prepare for Shipment and Storage;
12.5.1 Transfer the blended compost to three 4�L (I -
gal) sample bags, (e.g,, plastic Ziploe freezer bags).
12.5.2 Line the shipment pail with aluminum foil or
other reflective material to minimize sample heat -gain.
Place the sample bags containing the compost sample
into the plastic pail and Interleave with ice packs for
shipping (refer to Pig 02.01-B3).
12.5.3 Cover the pail with its lid. Seal and secure the
rid with a packing tape. Send the sample pail by one,
day express delivery service to your selected laboratory
for analysis. Include a chain of custody Information
sheet with environmental regulatory samples (Refer to
Method 02.01 B).
NQTS 3E—Maintain cool samples at 46C (39.2,F) to diminish

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As required under the authority of Section 405 (d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), as
amended by U.S. EPA and promulgated at Title 40 CFR Part 503, please find herewith the
Monitoring, Record practices and Reporting practices and procedures in place for the
beneficial use of sewage Sludge applied to land as finished compost at the Regional
Compost Facility (RCF) in Hickory, North Carolina.
The RCF is a twenty dry ton per day (20.0 DT/dy) in -vessel composting facility using the
Ashbrook-Simon-1-lartly (A-S-H) Tunnel Reactor Technology. 'Three local governments,
comprised of the Cities of Hickory, Conover, and Catawba County, North Carolina, own
the RCF. These three local governments formed a Sludge Consortium to provide
centralized facilities for the management and disposal of their combined municipal
wastewater biosolids. Class A wastewater residuals are processed at the RCF and

II. 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.
Certification Statement - `1 certify, under penalty of law, that the Class A pathogen
requirements in 40 CFR Part 503.32(a)(7) have been met. This determination has been
made under my direction and supervision in accordance with the system designed to ensure

Vector Attraction Reduction - Option 5
The Regional Compost Facility uses the Aerobic Process (Thermophilic Composting) to
demonstrate and achieve compliance with the Vector Attraction Reduction requirements
set forth in 40 CFR Part 503.33(b)(5). Specifically, Option 5 as an Aerobic Process at
Greater Than 40 deg. C (104 deg. F) is most appropriate for achieving Vector Attraction
Reduction. As previously described in this Annual Report, the average Actual SRT in the
in -vessel compost reactors was 37.7 days for the reporting period of 2023. The dewatered
biosolids was composted and treated aerobically at thermophilic temperatures during this
period of in -vessel processing time.
The computerized composting performance reports document the aerobic processing of the
dewatered biosolids in accordance with 40 CFR Part 503.33(b)(5). The dewatered biosolids
have been aerobically treated for a minimum of 14.0 consecutive days during which the
daily minimum temperatures of the Tunnel Reactor have been maintained above 40 deg;. C
and the average temperature maintained higher than 45 deg. C.
As highlighted in the monthly Operations Performance Summary Tables (Exhibit 2), the
average Vector Attraction Reduction (VAR) temperature for all Tunnel Reactors was 64.1
deg. C. Additional curing provided additional time to meet the requirements again. The
compost product is also placed on the outdoor curing pad for further maturation and curing,
Final curing temperatures were also maintained greater than 40 deg C. (104 deg. F) or
higher for at least fourteen days with an average of at least 45 deg C. (113 deg F).
Certification Statement - " I certify under penalty of law, that the Class A vector

COMPOST PRODUCT

Hickory Regional Composting Facility
The Regional Composting Facility in Hickory, North Carolina, is an in -
vessel system designed for efficient, environmentally -sound compost production.
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.

Program Information
D.1 Program Narrative
D.1.1 Summary
Biosolids will either come from Henry Fork Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) or other
local facilities. 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.

City of Hickory I Henry Fork NNVFF Solids Handling Facilities Upgrade - Residuals Management Plan
Introduction
1 Introduction
The City of Hickory (City) currently sends their solids to the Regional Sludge Management
Facility (RSMF) operated by Veolia Water North America under contract with the Sludge
Consortium, of which the City is the lead agent (with 66% ownership). 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:

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.

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,

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.

1.7 Dried Product Storage
Dried product will be generated from the Dryer every week. 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.

1.8 Compliance Monitoring
Compliance with 40 CFR Part 503 will be met by the following methods:
Pathogen Reduction - Thermal Process (Dryer) Time and Temperature & Fecal
Coliform Testing for Class A
Vector Attraction Reduction — 90% total solids minimum
• Metals Analysis — Quarterly prior to application
1.9 Beneficial Reuse/Disposal
Closer to the start-up of the dryer system the City of Hickory will apply for a new Class A permit
to reuse the dried biosolids processed at the Henry Fork WWTF. 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. This report is on file with the City and it
