This plan is developed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2T.0507. This O&M Manual references the engineering plans and specifications and is not intended to be a stand-alone document. It should be utilized in conjunction with the engineering plans and specifications along with the equipment manufacturer's recommendations. The operations will need to be amended as necessary by the licensed operator to insure efficient operation of the systems and protect against water quality permit violations. No equipment changes to the system(s) shall be made without the expressed consent of the project engineer and the manufacturer. Doing so may void the respective warranty. The WWTP and disposal system must be operated and maintained in accordance with the Non -Discharge Permit conditions. Refer to the current permit for operation, monitoring and reporting requirements. BEA Project No. 307808 The Cliffs at High Carolina Operation & Maintenance Manual 2.0 Wastewater Treatment System 2.1 Treatment Plant Background and Design This site is served by a municipal water supply and an onsite wastewater treatment system. The wastewater collection will lead to an Aqueonics onsite tertiary sewage treatment facility. The treatment facility proposes to discharge treated effluent to on-site disposal system, which are fed by dosing force mains designed by others from a dosing storage tank attached to the treatment system. The sewerage system will ultimately be designed, treat and discharge to service the anticipated discharge from future dwelling units and commercial development and will be constructed in two phases, of which initial construction will be for Phase I, serving Villages 1-5, 7, 9, 10, and 13. This phase will include, besides the residences, an Inn, Restaurant, Market, Banquet facility, 3 spas, and a clubhouse with an anticipated 98,410 gallons per day (gpd) total flow. Phase ll will comprise villages 6, 8, 11, 12, and 14. The full descriptions and associated flows are tabulated in Figure 1. Water Consumption Treatment and Discharge Considerations Treatment facilities have been designed to treat 100,000 gpd for Phase 1, and 200,000 gpd for Phase II. Nitrogen content of the influent wastewater is expected to be typical of a mixture of domestic sewage values of mixed residential and commercial sources. This project is subject to discharge criteria established by the NCDENR for nitrogen and Phosphorus -limited discharge. The treatment facility has therefore been designed for nitrogen and Phosphorus removal to comply with applicable standards for pretreatment. General Considerations The selection of a treatment technology and disposal strategy at this site is governed by the recent concern for dwindling groundwater resources and desire not to increase groundwater pollution with nitrogen discharged in treated wastewater. Discharge criteria are imposed by The State of North Carolina, Department of Environment and Natural IuNi BEA Project No. 307808 operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 2 J Resources (NCDENR). The NCDENR limits the concentration of nitrate -nitrogen (further presuming that ammonia discharged is converted to nitrate) in a groundwater plume as it leaves the site to 5 mg/I, with additional hydraulic loading limitations on subsurface distribution beds as determined by the soils and groundwater. The available processes which are economically and operationally capable of eliminating large amounts of nitrogen from domestic -type wastewaters are limited. The selection of technology is especially limited when one compares the nature of operator skill and level of maintenance generally available to a small municipal or privately operated plant to those plants operated by industry or a large utility for the removal of nitrogen. The basic process proposed to treat domestic wastewater and remove nitrogen at this facility is a continuous sequential Carbon Oxidation - Nitrification - Denitrification system using endogenous carbon for denitrification. Sequential aerobic/anaerobic (anoxic) conditions with recycle of nitrified wastewater for BOD enrichment to accomplish denitrification using fixed -film media reactors is employed. The specific process design selected for this project is a biological process, which makes use of concepts that have generally been known for more than 25 years to the technical, community interested in advanced technology for removal of nitrogen compounds. Pilot systems using this process were first installed in the mid -1970's, with full scale installations occurring in 1979. Nitrogen Loading and Unit Processes Descriptions Typical design nitrogen content of domestic wastewater recommends that a value of 40 mg/I as N be used. Organic nitrogen is both soluble and particulate with the soluble organic nitrogen mainly in the form of urea and amino acids. Primary sedimentation acts to remove a portion of the particulate organic matter. This removal generally will allow 80% or less of the total nitrogen entering the plant reaching the biological treatment process. Ordinary secondary biological treatment will remove most particulate organic nitrogen and transform some to ammonium and other inorganic forms. Soluble organic nitrogen is partially transformed to ammonium by microorganisms, but concentrations of 1 to 3 mg/I are usually found in biological treatment effluents. P BEA ProjectNo. 307808 operation & Maintenance Manual . The Cliffs at High Carolina 3 i Because of the cost and inconvenience of most organic carbon sources used in denitrification processes, a number of processes have been developed or are currently under development in which the carbon oxidation -nitrification -denitrification processes are combined into a coherent operational plan.The advantage of such processes for effective nitrogen removal, of which this is an example, include: (1) reduction in the volume of air applied to suspended solids (or pumping energy to a trickling filter) to achieve nitrification and BODS removal; (2) elimination of the supplemental organic carbon sources (e.g., methanol) required to complete denitrification; (3) stability of operations over long time periods In these combined processes, either the endogenous decay of the organisms or the carbon in the wastewater is used to achieve denitrification. In addition to the Aqueonics process, other examples include oxidation ditches where rotor oxygenation levels are controlled as in the "Bardenpho" process. The reader is invited to review the 1975 USEPA Process Design Manual for Nitrogen Control Section 5.5 where combined Carbon Oxidation - Nitrification - Denitrification System using endogenous carbon and Sequential Operations developments are reviewed and commented upon. Most of these processes, however, utilize suspended growth rather than fixed -film growth, which is a serious disadvantage to stable operation in small facilities such as this one. As early as 1975 a Danish plant of 1.5 million'gallons per day (mgd) using the "alternating contact" process was able to achieve nitrate levels of 2.0 to 5.0 mg/I. The "Bardenpho" process of South African development was also able to achieve 5 to 7 mg/I of total nitrogen under long term performance, at 26,000 gpd. Problems with the larger EPA Blue Plains pilot plant of the same time period point out the specific advantage of the Aqueonics process over the early work in',this field which was associated with suspended growth reactors to accomplish oxidation and denitrification. Operation of suspended growth reactors in the alternating aerobic/anaerobic (anoxic) mode requires an F/M ratio sufficiently low to permit the development of a mixed culture of organisms for carbon oxidation, nitrification, and denitrification; and severe filamentous bulking conditions are also developed sometimes in the sludge as a result of this low F/M ratio. Maintenance of this proper ratio is a sophisticated operational BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 4 problem. Fixed -film reactors by their inherent nature require no F/M ratio, since fixed bacteria automatically adjust their growth rate to the food source, and there is, of course, no suspended sludge to bulk. Fixed -film designs, therefore serve to avoid these problems, give greater stability to the process, and greatly reduce the risk of sludge loading of the subsurface distribution beds. The Blue Plains work did serve to establish several benchmarks with respect to criteria used in the design of alternating systems. They are as follows: (1) To evaluate nitrification limitations on a system, both nitrogen loads and nitrification rates must be taken into account, and, (2) there is general agreement that the design of the combined carbon oxidation -nitrification functions of the aerobic phase(s) can be separated from the anoxic phase(s). Therefore, the carbon oxidation and nitrification calculations for the aerobic periods can be virtually identical to those advanced for ordinary carbon oxidation -nitrification processes (See same USEPA document Section 4.4.1). The Blue Plains work also supports a rational approach to sizing of the denitrification steps and presents measured denitrification rates in systems using wastewater as the organic carbon source. The relatively modern concept of the coupling of an anaerobic (anoxic) residence period with an aerobic residence period in these systems is based on the recognition that dissimilatory denitrification is accomplished by facultative bacteria using biochemical pathways that are almost identical to aerobic biochemical pathways. These facultative bacteria can shift readily from using nitrate to using oxygen and vice versa. In the aerobic towers, the carbon and ammonia are oxidized and nitrogen gas stripped from solution so that nitrogen gas bubbles will not form in the next packed - reactor or in the sedimentation process. Aqueonics' use of fixed -film reactors with stable operational characteristics is a considerable advancement over other aerobic/anaerobic (anoxic) processes, and provides a more easily operated, more reliable, less maintenance intensive, and less costly system to operate than denitrification processes using either methanol -based systems or suspended growth alternating systems. Systems such as air -stripping and selective ion exchange have not been considered to be appropriate for this application. BEA Project No. 307808 The Cliffs at High Carolina 5 Operation & Maintenance Manual in addition to alternating aerobic/anaerobic (anoxic) fixed -film reactors, this system also 1 incorporates a primary clarifier to take advantage of its large removal rate of particulate __J organic nitrogen and BOD. Careful attention has been given to integrating hydraulic loadings, recycle capability, the ability of the operator to divide and redirect flow through L-! the facility, and sludge handling and solids separation in this facility to provide a plant - with proper balance and flexibility in operation. Aqueonics has conducted extensive full __dI scale testing at Castlewood, California to verify kinetic design parameters for this process and the results of that work are incorporated in this design. Aqueonics full scale denitrifying plants utilizing the proposed process have been in operation in California since 1979, Pennsylvania since 1983, South Carolina since 1981, and in New Jersey since 1985. We therefore conclude this process to be the most appropriate technology for use at this site. For this facility, alum addition for physical/chemical removal of Phosphorus has been integrated into the process. The system selected is the Aqueonics K -Series design as described in the process flow 64 schematic below. The process provides screening, maceration, full flow equalization, primary sedimentation, and a series of three alternating aerobic and (anaerobic) anoxic I" reactors which are designed for carbon oxidation - nitrification and denitrification using flMm; influent sewage as a carbon source for denitrification. Sand filtration and ultraviolet disinfection to permit limit system follows tertiary treatment for further assurance of water quality. The tankage is of reinforced concrete construction, totally enclosed, and the aerobic reactors are of the fixed -film PVC media type, totally enclosed within an insulated shelter which is placed atop the tankage. A controlled forced air supply is provided for purging of gases in tanks and for air flow in the towers utilized in the process. All process air is pre -scrubbed in the trickling filters, then purified of odors, moisture, and contamination through a combination potassium permanganate / activated carbon filter before being exhausted from the building. All machinery and equipment are Located inside the insulated building, so that the only sound external to the enclosure should be a minimal hum of the blowers. BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 6 =. l' Design Conditions The wastewater treatment plant has daily capacity of 200,000 gallons per day based upon influent from the facilities listed on page one. The plant is designed to be utilized for treatment of domestic sewage having a maximum daily average concentration of: Biochemical Oxygen Demand (5 day) (BOD) 350 mg/I Total Suspended Solids (SS) 250 mg/I Total Nitrogen (N) 60 mg/I Total Phosphorus (P) 20 mg/I Effluent Requirements Effluent quality from this plant is designed to have a maximum 30 day average concentration of: BEA Project No, 307808 Operation & Maintenance manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 7 Biochemical Oxygen Demand (5 day) (BOD) 10.0 mg/1 Total Suspended Solids (SS) 5.0 mg/I Ammonia Nitrogen + Nitrate Nitrogen <6 mg/1 Dissolved Oxygen (DO) >6.0 mg/I Total Phosphorus (P) 1 mg/ I pH 6.5-8.5 S.U. Fecal Coliform 14 MPN/100 ml The achievement of the specified effluent quality is contingent upon sufficient nutrient levels being present in the process waters, including sufficient alkalinity, and the exclusion of any biologically inhibitory constituents. Effluent problems most frequently reflect influent problems, so one of the first things to be done when problems are encountered is to check the influent quantity and quality. Periodic baseline samples should be taken regularly to assess the status of influent compared to design and to effluent performance. General Description The wastewater treatment plant design is that of the Aqueonics Inc. Model K-200-3 as manufactured by Aqueonics Inc., 4115 East North Street, Suite 202, Greenville, SC 29615-6212. The wastewater treatment system incorporates the concept of alternating aerobic and anaerobic (anoxic) treatment. The complete system includes all necessary equipment for efficient plant operation and utilizes a process composed of an influent trash basket, an equalization basin with grinder pumps and forward flow control device, a primary sedimentation basin, three pairs of alternating aerobic and anaerobic (anoxic) fixed -film media reactors, sand filtration, ultraviolet disinfection to permit limit, an effluent dosing tank with delivery system, and sludge holding and sludge thickening tanks. The wastewater treatment plant is operationally flexible and capable of handling loading variations. The equalization tank is capable of storing at least 25% of the average daily flow. It is possible to suspend treatment while removing process elements from service during periods of low loadings or in the event that maintenance is required, although treatment maybe negatively affected by operation with process elements out of service. BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 8 An emergency power system is provided to serve the treatment plant. Valving has been provided to enable the operator to redirect flow within the plant in the event that process units require maintenance or cleaning. This valving and auxiliary piping provide flexibility of operation and ease of maintenance. Plant Aesthetics The wastewater treatment plant will be located, in proximity to the dwellings, clubhouse and golf course. Therefore, consideration has been given to the aesthetics, noise, safety and odor control of the wastewater treatment plant. The entire treatment plant is secured and contained within or beneath a locked service building which is architecturally compatible with its surroundings. All mechanical equipment has been contained within the service building to minimize noise. All air discharged from the plant will be chemically scrubbed and filtered to remove odors. Description of Process The treatment process includes the process stages as shown in the following list and discussed below: 1 Flow Equalization 2 Primary Sedimentation 3 Alternating Aerobic/Anaerobic (Anoxic) Treatment — Three Stages 4 Up -Flow Sand Filtration 5 Redundant Ultra Violet Disinfection System 6 Effluent Discharge Works 7 Sludge Holding Tank 8 Sludge Thickening Tank 9 Odor Control and Positive Treatment of all Process Gases The process wastewater flows sequentially through the following chambers: (Figure 2) 1.

Sludge Thickening Tank 2,2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The routine operation of the plant will consist of inspection of plant processes and equipment, solids handling when needed, replenishing of chemicals, wastewater sampling, housekeeping and maintenance, and recordkeeping. Even more important to successful operation of the plant is an understanding for and empathy with what is going on in the system of which is the operator's responsibility. Crucial to successful operation will be a continuing observation of influent and dialogue with Clubhouse management regarding their effluent with emphasis on the impact of their changes on your plant operation. Clubhouse operational changes must consider impact on the treatment plant operation. Prepare in advance for heavy usages from special events by being aware of what will be happening at public gathering facilities. Entering the plant, the operator should smell and visually determine that there are no existing or potential problems. The operator's daily checklist describes items to be included in this inspection. Other items may be added. The following describes in greater detail the items to be covered in this inspection. Control Panel Display — This is the information center of the treatment plant. The display should be checked daily for alarm lights and plant status. Flow Equalization Basin — The sewage level in the flow equalization basin should be between the high and low level sensors. The inlet pipe should not be flooded. Check and clean the bar screen. Observe the air diffusion for approximate uniformity of flow along the width of the tank. Check the V -notch and weir in the head box for plugging and for proper flow. Remove biological growth or solids on the orifices. Check for excessive foaming or chemical odors in the equalization basin. This could be indicative of toxicity and potential process problems. p BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 10 } Clarifiers — Remove debris from the collection weir. To remove surface scum, use hose, L rake or squeegee to remove or move to skimmers while skimmer is turned on. In the anoxic J' reactors, skimmers are ineffective. Use instead the hose and spargers to cause sludge to r'11 settle where it can be removed by air Lift. Excessive scum usually indicates that the sludge is Li hung up on the hoppers. To remedy, use squeegee and/or "burp" the offending sludge lift. If n the problem persists, increase the duration or frequency of sludge lift cycle. The media A should serve to break up floating sludge, allowing it to resettle in the anaerobic reactors. Over time the anaerobic reactors may build up an excessive bio -film growth which may plug the fluid passages. Air spargers have been provide to dislodge this biomass periodically as required. Sparge by simultaneously "burping" the air lift and opening the sparger air valve in bursts to scour the film from the media surface. Note that a surface layer of fine reddish -brown bL healthy denitrification process and is of benefit to This film is to be nurtured and cherished. Aerobic Towers — Open the access doors on each MR7 and check the spray nozzles for clogging. Most pa the nozzles should be checked. it is important to n in anoxic reactors is indicative of a process through oxygen exclusion. tower periodically to observe the media ticularly, if the pump pressure increases, aintain clean nozzles to assure sufficient process flow and distribution. The spray pattern sould cover the entire surface. The odor should not be offensive. Psychoda fillies will inevitably be present in significant numbers and will bloom in Fail. This should not present a problem outside of housekeeping. Sludge Transfer and Holding Tank — Sludge collected in all clarifiers is periodically airlifted to the sludge holding tank. The frequency and duration of each lift operation is controlled by adjustment of the respective air supply valves. The tank will naturally fill with a mixture of sludge and water. A decanter is used to return the supernatant water to flow equalization and to thereby concentrate the sludge, which is also aerobically digested in the sludge holding tank. In the event the operator wishes to manually drawdown the water level in the sludge holding tank the following procedure should be followed: (1) shut off air to the tank (2) allow solids to settle (a definite interface should develop) (3) place the decanter pump to the depth you wish to decant (4) turn on the decanter only long enough to allow the supernatant to return to the equalization tank (5) return air sludge holding tank diffusers. All airlifts should be periodically checked for proper operation. This may be done by inspection ' BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual 17 The Cliffs at High Carolina '1 114 i_J of the discharge pipe flow during activation of each air lift. The sludge holding/thickening tank has been fitted with a pump on an adjustable winch to enable complete dewatering or decanting to any level. Care must be provided when using this unit so that the pump does not run dry or pump thickened sludge. Either types of misuse may severely damage this pump. Mechanical Equipment — check the drive belts on the blowers for cracks, wear or slippage and repair as necessary. It is a good idea to keep an extra belt of each size on hand at all times. Make sure the relief valve is not blowing off excessively. Excess blow off probably indicates closed valves or plugged diffusers. Check the main blowers, flow equalization blower, bio -blower, and pumps for overheating and proper lubrication. Check the potassium permanganate media in the bio -blower. It turns color from purple to brown to gray as it is used up. Every four to six weeks this media may have to be changed. To do this, take out the trays and discard their contents. Refill the trays with fresh media and return them to their appropriate slots. More frequent changing is a possible indication that anaerobiosis is occurring in the plant or that there is an influent problem. Low Air Pressure — The sludge tank blower is monitored by a low pressure alarm indicator set to operate while the blower is on. Since flow equalization cannot maintain a given back pressure, a sail -type flow switch has been installed in the main header which serves a similar function, based on flow rather than pressure. The blowers are arranged such that one blower supplies flow equalization, and the other serves sludge holding and airlifts. Normally -closed valving interconnects the two systems so that fluctuations in the depth of water in the flow equalization tank does not affect performance of airlifts. In the event blower fails, power will be shut off to the motor of this blower, and the alarm will be activated. While repairs are performed, valving is provided to connect the blower air system. A backup blower assembly is provided for replacement. To troubleshoot, try to start the failed blower on manual. If the motor doesn't run, it is an electrical problem; if the motor runs but no air, it is a mechanical problem and the blower must be checked. Be sure to check the belts for slipping, as this is most often the cause of low pressure when the motor is running. Consult the Blower O & M Manual supplied by the oo BEA Project No. 307808- Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 12 manufacturer. Power must be turned off to the blower at the kill switch before beginning to work on it. Grinder and Dosing Pumps — These pumps are automatically set so if one fails, the other one will come on. Both pumps may be operated on manual, BUT WATER LEVEL SHOULD BE WATCHED to prevent level of water in tank to EVER be pumped lower than the pump itself while on manual. Should this happen, the pump will be improperly cooled, and damage to the motor may occur. If the pump is allowed to run dry, the seal may be damaged. Manual operation will bypass the normal float switch control system. However, the control relays are wired directly from the uppermost and lowermost float switches in flow equalization to the starter relays in the control panel. Thus under manual control, the lowermost low water kill switch will cause either operating pumps to stop. Similarly, the high level alarm will alternate both pumps without interaction with the control system as long as the HOA switch is on H or A and as long as the low level kill switch is not activated. Neither grinder pump will operate when in the "off' position, regardless of float position, however the lock-out/tag out disconnects should be used when working on the pumps. Manual operation will require more operator surveillance. If both grinder pumps have failed, the plant will continue to operate by gravity flow. Such operation could result in peak F overloading of recirculation systems and clarifiers, resulting in possible noncompliance with i �J4 discharge specification limits, since flow equalization will be inoperative. AGAIN — DO NOT LET SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS RUN WITHOUT WATER CONTACT. To do so will cause the seals to fail and/or the motors.to overheat. The submersible are removed by disconnecting the union after the vertical discharge pipe and disconnecting the electrical connection near the hatch opening. Pipe and pump are removed (and replaced) together and reconnected at the unions. When reinstalling all pumps make certain that the rotation is in the proper direction. Grinder pumps will pump water in either rotation, but the cutter will not work properly with the wrong rotation, leading to jamming and possible electrical overload and burnout. If a pump fails, test the cause by the following procedure: P BEA ProjectNo. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual .. The Cliffs at High Carolina 13 a. Check electrical — is pump getting required current? If not, check breakers and float switch control. If theses function properly, check control relay for proper operation. Otherwise, the problem is in the wiring. b. if pump has power, attempt a momentary rotation reversal to see if impeller is jammed. if this does not release the jam, the pump must be pulled. c. Check for foreign material plugging or jamming the grinder. d. Whenever grinder pumps are pulled, check condition of cutter, replace as needed. e. If total failure is noted, replace with like piece of equipment as it can be put back into the same system. f. Consult O & M Manual from suppliers for further details of maintenance. Recirculation Pumps — Pressure sensing gauges and switches are placed downstream of the recirculation pumps to monitor pressure variations. If operator notes indadequate pressure on gauge where water goes to towers, then pump has failed or inlet suction has plugged. This failure will also be indicated on the plant alarm system. Check to see if motor is running. If not, check breaker or heater in main panel. If motor is running but not pumping, the checks pump. If excessive pressure is observed, the spray nozzles have plugged. Spray nozzles should be checked and cleaned regularly. The pressure switch will send an alarm signal if the pressure is either too high or too low. Flow rate may be regulated the pinch valves in the discharge line to control surface application rate. As the pressure drop across the nozzles is very little, your alarm gauge may not be sufficiently sensitive to reductions in pump output. Therefore checking of spray pattern adequacy is your best gauge of pump performance. Check suppliers O & M Manual for maintenance procedures on pumps. Bar Screen — Periodically clean bar screen with a rake. Be careful not to allow rakings to fall into the equalization tank. If rakings consistently fall into the equalization tank, matting and balling of the cellulose material will occur and lead to pump clogging or improper diffuser operation. Collection of strings and rags can be effectively performed by suspending a loop of barbed wire in the flow equalization basin to catch such items as they are circulated by aeration. Wire must be periodically cleaned or replaced to be effective. Airlifts maintenance of the airlifts is critical to the proper operation of the plant. The most common cause of sludge handling problems is due to improper airlift operation. The airlifts Lmo should be checked for clogging periodically. The frequency will be determined by the p BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual ;,J The Cliffs at High Carolina 14 '.J amount of solids loading. The primary clarifier should also be periodically squeegeed to prevent "ratholing" and septic sludge. Should you notice mats of gray or black sludge floating in a clarifier this will most likely be due to improper airlift operation or ratholing. Ratholing is a term used to describe when an airlift does not evenly remove solids from the hopper and thus allows a portion of the hopper to retain sludge. Retained sludge becomes septic and , with liberation of gas, will float to the surface or underside of the anaerobic <_+ media or plug the airlift. The remedy is to squeegee the hoppers to dislodge jammed solids f- and/or "burp" the hopper by closing the valve in the sludge discharge line which causes air to be forced out of the airlift intake, thereby dislodging solids. If "burping" does not clear the F„ lift, it can be rodded out through the cap at the top of each lift which can be removed for this purpose. The use of the spargers in the anaerobic reactors to dislodge excessive sludge buildup on the submerged media has been described previously. Chemical Feeds — A solution feed tank and metering pump have been provided to control alkalinity and pH. Lime and/or soda ash addition in a slurry is provided for alkalinity/pH control. Optimum discharge pH (when added to flow equalization) is 7.3-7.6 Feed rates should be adjusted to achieve this value. Nitrogen Removal Methods — Unlike domestic sewage treatment systems, it is anticipated that TKN influent composition may contain significant quantities of convertible ammonia, which must be nitrified. This treatment plant has been designed to provide a variety of means for such removal. Among the arsenal of means at your disposal, aside from the process design described in the design report section of this manual are the following means which may be employed using existing facilities. Aerobic Capacity Augmentation a. Ammonia Stripping — Water as supplied naturally from the water system has a pH in the 5-7 range. This makes it feasible to perform air stripping in flow equalization facilities. Normally, alkalinity is added to flow equalization. If air stripping of ammonia is desired, the pH must also be raised to 10, but it will require lowering to the 7.5 — 8 range at the discharge from the main head box for direct distribution to Aerobic Tower No. 1. This will maintain the high pH required for stripping in flow equalization, but pH must then be artificially lowered for P BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 15 biological performance through acidification, as the high pH is toxic to bacteria. Phosphoric acid is a good candidate for such use, as phosphorus is not limited in the discharge. It should be remembered when operating in this mode, that alkalinity (soda ash) may still be required, as well as the neutralizing acid, which can also eat your alkalinity. b. Aerobic Digestion in Flow Equalization — Equipment has been provided to enable utilization of flow equalization as an aerobic digester for pretreatment of influent organic materials. Sufficient air has been provided to accomplish this mission, and detention times which exceed 1 day are available. To accomplish such treatment, sludge from sludge holding is returned to flow equalization through the decanting equipment provided. Biomass will increase naturally in this treatment unit, but wasting will be continuous with the forward flow. Sludge wasting cycles in primary clarification should be carefully monitored when operating in the mode to prevent overloading of this treatment unit by the increased sludge load. All of the process considerations which are normal to conventional activated sludge plants or contact stabilization plants would be required to be observed when operating in this mode, including the maintenance of proper F/M ratios and MLSS concentrations to achieve the degree of pretreatment desired. This mode of treatment can be expected to considerably reduce BOD and ammonia into your treatment process, reducing the aerobic load on the owner treatment units concurrently. c. Redistribution of Air —When operating in the mode in which flow equalization is being used for aerobic treatment, you will have several choices of operational mode: This reduces the digestion load on the sludge facilities, and allows you to do two things: 1 Operate the plant in a contact stabilization mode using the sludge holding tank as the aerated storage/digestion stage. 2 Redistribute the blower air supply to selectively apply more air to flow equalization, and less to sludge digestion. This air supply balance would be determined by DO concentration in the various basins to maintain a BEA Project No. 307808 The Cliffs at High Carolina 16 Operation & Maintenance Manual concentration suitable to optimum digestion performance (greater than 2 t mg/1). In this mode, it is recommended to utilize fine bubble diffusers in the place of the broadband diffusers supplied. Such diffusers provide r -•p significantly improved oxygen transfer to the liquid at the penalty of somewhat greater maintenance. Fine bubble diffusers also aid in the F a stripping efficiency for ammonia removal. d. Aerobic Tower Air Supply — Your plant has been supplied with a 1,000 cfm Bio - blower discharge blower. If it is found that excessive BOD strength increases tower BOD above 400 mg/I then augmentation of airflow in tower I may be called for to prevent zero -order limitation of BOD removal. Airflow through tower I to counteract this potential deficiency can be accommodated by enlarging the capacity of the discharge bio -blower. Nutrient Requirements —A nutrient balance which maintains a BOD:N:P ratio of 100:5:1 is always a requirement in biological systems to achieve a healthy and effective biomass. Most domestic sewage sources produce a natural balance of nutrients. In commercial or industrial sources, there can be an imbalance produced in which a deficiency is encountered. You as operator should be aware of this potential problem area and be repaired to deal with it. Phosphoric acid addition is the conventional means for phosphorus addition, and this might be combined with an ammonia stripping operation described in the section on nitrogen removal methods. PEI Additionally, as described elsewhere, alkalinity is a metabolic requirement for nitrifiers, and sufficient quantities must be provided to maintain a minimal discharge of 60 mg/I. It should be noted that phosphoric acid addition will require additional alkalinity and pH adjustment, and may produce problems with its removal. Anaerobic Capacity Augmentation a. Presentation of surface — The greatest cause of inadequate anaerobic performance is short circuiting which limits detention time and surface exposure. Periodic removal of excess biomass is required to prevent plugging or blockage of some of the parallel paths through the anaerobic media. Confirmation of dwell time and surface contact can be performed by dye test to be greater than or BEA Project No. 307808 The Cliffs at High Carolina Operation & Maintenance Manual 17 1_ equal to at least 2 hours at full flow (75 gpm). Routine checking for abnormal flow patterns as described elsewhere in this manual is a good practice to forewarn you of any forming problem. b. Use of the nitrogen gas bubble laver to prevent re -aeration — The denitrification process will naturally release nitrogen gas bubbles which will form a thin foam layer in the surface interstices of the media. This foam layer has a beneficial effect of providing a pure nitrogen layer which separates the air and water interface. This prevents oxygen from diffusing into the liquid to compete with nitrate as the oxygen source for the denitrifiers. A good foam layer is an indication of good denitrification performance and a benefit to the process. Uniformity of the foam layer is a gauge to proper flow distribution. c. Addition of BOD substrate — In cases of high nitrate loading and inadequate BOD, BOD must be increased in order to achieve denitrification. The customary feed material for this purpose is methanol. However, methanol in excess may be toxic to nitrifiers, and is undesirable in the discharge. This material can be used for the purpose of gravity feeding to anoxic reactors where appropriate to alleviate this BOD deficiency. Stoichiometrically there is a least a 4:1 requirement of BOD per mg/I of nitrate to be removed, which would be increased by the DO concentration entering the reactor. Excess BOD can be fed to Anaerobic III because there is no limitation on discharge BOD, and because excess BOD at this point will not affect any other plant process. Addition of BOD at the first anaerobic should be unnecessary, and addition of excess BOD at the second anaerobic could reduce the nitrification efficiency of the third aerobic. Therefore, addition of excess BOD at this point is not recommended. d. Adiustment of recirculation — Excessive nitrate loads on anaerobic reactor III can be reduced through increased back-to-front recirculation. It is advantageous to recycle greater flows to the front of the plant to thereby reduce nitrate concentration to anaerobic III as much as practicable without exceeding zero - order denitrification kinetics in either anaerobic I or II; and this practice should be applied especially under low or under loading conditions. Insufficient BOD following Aerobic III should be the norm under such conditions, making P BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 18 denitrification require BOD addition in anaerobic III. This need can be minimized through increasing the ratio of recycle: forward flow. The anoxic reactors have each been designed for 29 gpm flow at 2 hours detention, which will permit a recycle ratio of up to 1.2:1, and 2.29 pounds/day/1 000ft2of nitrate removal capacity. As much nitrate as practicable should be targeted for removal in the first two anaerobic units. e. Denitrification in the aerobic reactors — Under conditions in which air has been excluded, nitrification is practiced in aerobic towers of this design, and can be accomplished here as well, though connections are not presently installed. through which air can be completely excluded from only tower III. Experience with such reactors has shown , however, that in towers in which DO concentration in the discharge does not exceed 0.5 mg/l, significant denitrification can be accomplished in towers in which nitrification is also achieved. It is believed that this is accomplished by layering the bio -film in which denitrifiers underlay the nitrifiers. The nitrifier layer excludes oxygen from the denitrifiers and consume oxygen while producing nitrate which is passed inward within the film where it is consumed by the denitrifiers which also consume biomass as their carbon source, together with BOD which is passed through the bio -film. Although the minimal DO must be carefully controlled through throttling of the bio -blower airflow, this operational mode may be applied under conditions in which aerobic capacity is excessive and anaerobic capacity is insufficient. Such a case might be where the flow equalization basin is being used in an extended aeration or contact stabilization mode, and tower aerobic capacity becomes surplus. Under such conditions, ammonia concentrations may reach discharge standards after the first tower, for example, leaving towers 11 and Ill free for denitrification. Another such condition might be where influent BOD concentration dropped significantly, with a corresponding increase in nitrogen. The operator should be aware that function of these units can be converted under certain conditions to meet special requirements. Aqueonics should be contacted to assist you in such a design change. P BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 79 e UV Disinfection The UV disinfection system should have the lamps routinely cleaned and inspected in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Each UV unit is capable of treating the peak daily flow, so shutting one of the units down completely for routine maintenance is 'acceptable. Each unit is equipped with two lamp banks that also are each capable of treating the peak flow. Cleaning of individual lamp banks would not require shutting down the system. Bulbs should be wiped clean periodically and units manufacturer recommendations 2.3 Routine Operation Checklist Introduction intained in accordance with Your Aqueonics plant after start-up is designed to operate continuously and without constant attention to process. The process is self-adjusting, so long as the pumps, blowers and equipment are operating properly, and your housekeeping handles the solids produced. If radical changes in influent conditions occur, you may wish to consult the start-up instructions to keep your plant operating at maximal efficacy. Daily Operation Checklist The following is a daily checklist of items which you should do. It should take no more than 15 to 20 minutes a day, and will greatly reduce the need for emergency attention and repairs to the mechanical equipment.

Confirm with run-time total from hours meters. 11. Check flow equalization. Is water level within normal limits? Check for unusual odor or appearance indicating unusual influent composition. Is there any evidence of high level excess? Is air diffusion uniform along the length of the tank (you may need a flashlight to observe this). Liquid should look like raw wastewater, and should not have anoxic or chemical odors. If it contains much sludge you probably need to waste. Check pH and correct alkalinity if needed.

You will need to use the spargers approximately every six months to prevent blockage of pathways through the media. Do not wait until media is completely blocked to perform this maintenance. 15. Check sludge holding tank. Check sludge blanket level. Waste if you have a truckload — don't wait till the whole tank is full. Decant supernatant. Remember, if the sludge blanket gets too high, you will have difficulty in keeping the solids in sludge holding, and little volume into which to waste sludge form your clarifier. Check proper operation of sludge lifts occasionally by observing a sludge wasting cycle. See that all lifts are operating, and that sludge discharge is complete before each wasting cycle has finished. 16. Check sand filter equipment for operation and cleanliness. 17.

Take data measurements and complete operator's log. Be sure to note date of your observation of abnormal conditions and any change in operation parameters or settings. Note what you observed, what you did, and when it was done. 2.4 Operational Data Gathering Aside from the data required by permit, which must be reported, you as operator will require certain information which will enable you to determine the source of operation difficulties if they should arise. Simply knowing that something is wrong won't generally give you the information you need to know to fix the problem. The sample testing recommendations below will help you to pinpoint the general causes of potential non- conforming operation before, hopefully, non -conforming operation actually occurs. It will over time also give you an operational background which will allow you to predict and ward off problems so that they will not occur. In fixed film reactors, treatment capacity is fixed by the maximum surface area available. This plant has been designed for certain conservatively chosen maximal values of flow, BOD, and ammonia in the influent based on typical domestic sewage known compositions. Loadings which differ significantly from the design values can be handled by your plant only when they do not exceed design values when the proper adjustments are made. Since it is difficult to predict in advance what particular conditions you may experience, so long as loadings do not exceed design values Aqueonics can assist you in making the proper adjustments to achieve stable operation at any reasonable flow rate or composition. One key factor will be to adjust the flow rate through the plant to the average daily flow from your collection system. The bacteria work best in a constant environment, so they will adjust their types and populations for the temperature, food type, and quantity which are available to them. Under overload, however, you can expect certain things to happen: First, the activity of the aerobic heterotrophs which consume BOD is greater than that of the autotrophic p BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 24 e nitrosomonas and nitrobacter which convert ammonia to nitrate (nitrifiers). The heterotrophs are therefore dominant, and when both populations are present (as they always are) the heterotrophs will interfere with the efficiency of the nitrifiers, as they will dominate the fixed available surface area. Thus when the plant is biologically LJ overloaded, resulting from either too much flow, or too great a BOD or ammonia concentration (or a combination), then you will first see the effect in an increase in the LA ammonia discharge concentration, as the heterotrophs will displace the nitrifiers on the n available surface. The ammonia discharge can also be adversely affected by a lack of alkalinity in the water. This condition is particularly appropriate to the aquifers in the area. The alkalinity is required and is consumed in the nitrification process, so you should be aware that it is important to keep a close check on this parameter. You should keep alkalinity levels to 60 or more mg/I throughout the process. Optimum value of pH for both the nitrification and denitrification processes is at 7.5. You should attempt to keep it there. Keeping the pH at this level also conserves alkalinity. Recommended Data Acquisition: Twice a month, during startup, operational changes, or problems. Less frequently when conditions are steady and plant is operating normally.

Daily recordings of flow equalization level, operational changes, chemical usage, sludge wasting volumes, total flow processed, and unusual observations should be maintained in your operator's daily log. Aqueonics retains an active interest in the performance of its plants and requests that you copy us with this operational data for our records so that we can be of assistance to you should questions arise. We look forward to working with you to maintain an exemplary operational record. _ 2,5 Startup Prior to starting up the plant, the licensed operator, who has familiarity and experience in the operation of plants of similar design, must have familiarized himself with all aspects of this O & M manual and received further specific familiarization with this facility from Aqueonics personnel. After becoming familiar with the plant operation, each operator should prepare a daily punchlist schedule of items to be performed with a check -off list for each month of operation. This will ensure that all operational items are accomplished as scheduled according to the operator's time schedule and availability, and the requirements of this manual and those of the equipment manufacturers. BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual F -I The Cliffs at High Carolina 26 'alb Aqueonics will review and comment upon this schedule after it is prepared by the r; operator. This procedure should be repeated each time new operating personnel are assigned to this facility. Pump flow rates, tank levels, and weir levels have been previously set by Aqueonics personnel. Prior to starting up the plant, the Flow Equalization basin (which can be partially filled), Primary Clarifier, and Anaerobic Reactors should be filled with water. Once these have been accomplished, these procedures should be followed: 1. Check to see if the potassium permanganate filter (top) tray is good (purple or brown indicates good). 2. Turn on bio -blower. Open the compartment to make sure it is running. Make sure compartment door is sealed after closing. Be sure all section seals are intact and in place to prevent bypass of any treatment stage. Check all equipment for proper lubrication. Check all process valving for correct desired routing of both air and liquid. 3. Turn on the recirculation pump #1 after Anaerobic Reactor #1 has filled. 4. Adjust the flow rate by adjusting the regulating valve in the pump discharge line. Correct flow is between .75 and 2.0 gpm/ft?. Check for even distribution of flow on top media surface. 5. Watch the effluent weir of Anaerobic Reactor #2. When water flows over the weir, turn on recirculation pump #2. 6. If Aerobic Tower III is used, wait until forward flow goes over final weir, then turn on recirculation pump #3. Adjust flow and spray distribution of this and Aerobic Tower II as you did for Aerobic Tower I. 7. Turn on the Sludge Holding and Flow Equalization blowers and place on AUTO. Check diffusers for air flow. Adjust valves for maximum air flow with even distribution. At this setting, check Primary Clarifier airlifts for proper operation. If air BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 27 pressure is insufficient, reduce air flow evenly to Sludge Holding diffusers until airlifts operate properly. i 8. Check the head box to ensure that the V -notch and overflow are functioning properly and are set for the desired flow rate through the plant. Check alarm float switch to see that it is operating. Set the flow rate through the plant by adjusting the overflow weir. 9. Utilizing the skimmer, remove any scum on the surface of the Primary Clarifier with manual controls. 10. Inspect each clarifier collection weir for an approximately even flow on all sides. Remove any floating material from around the weir. 11. Inspect the Aerobic Towers for a satisfactory spray pattern over the entire media surface. Measure the set total flow over media. 12. Check the display for alarms and rectify any problems. 13. Select process mode desired (if other than standard) by adjusting process mode valving. 14. Adjust all airlift gate valves for proper airlift operation (discharge flow should be steady). 15. Fill and mix chemical feed tank and set chemical addition rate. (If needed.) ,nom 16. Start-up control unit and set timing sequence of airlift pumps for frequency and duration. Initially, only the primary clarifier will be effective. This timing sequence will need to be readjusted as the plant lines out and the sludge train approaches steady state. Operator experience will be the best guide to the need for change. A start-up guide would be: Frequency: Once per 2 hours Duration: Primary Clarifier - 10 seconds Anaerobic I, Il, and III - 0 seconds BEA Project No. 307808 The Cliffs at High Carolina Operation & Maintenance Manual 28 r Lai I3 17. Set effluent dosing pump float levels for proper anticipated duty cycle as determined r from current hydraulic loading (see Treatment Plant Design Documents). 18. Fill UV channels. Run effluent dosing pumps on manual. Check rotation. NOTE: UV units come on automatically when sand filter operates, so UV channels should be filled before units are activated. 19. Start up and check UV units for proper operation. 20. Mix alkalinity source dry material and water in the mix tank. Sufficient water should be used to maintain complete solution of the lime or soda ash. 21. Turn on solution mixer to assure dissolution. 22. Test operation of both solution feed pumps. It is used only if biological nitrification is desired, and only if insufficient alkalinity is present in the influent water. Alkalinity should be added as needed to maintain a discharge pH of 7.5. 23. Sample and test for NH3-N and NO3-N. All should be within specification. BOD will not be within specification until a sufficient biomass has accumulated. This should take approximately 3 weeks. Nitrification requires up to 3 months to build sufficient biomass. 24. During start-up, it will be necessary to balance air flow through the Aerobic Towers, alkalinity supply and BOD availability to perform nitrification and denitrification processes. At flows lower than design flow it may be necessary to restrict Aerobic Tower spray application and/or air flow to allow Anoxic Reactors to become anoxic. It may also be necessary to add methanol or other organic substrate in extreme cases to achieve the anoxic condition. The acquisition of interstage data for BOD, DO, NH3 and NO3 is invaluable in determining which steps are necessary and at which points in the process sequence they may be required. BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual } The Cliffs at High Carolina 29 2.6 Safety Accident prevention is the result of thoughtfulness, and the application of a few basic principles and knowledge of the hazards involved. It has been said that the "ABC" of accident prevention is: "ALWAYS BE CAREFUL" The overall dangers of accidents are much the same whether in manholes, pumping stations or treatment plants. These hazards include physical injuries, infections, noxious gases and oxygen deficiency. Prevention of Physical Injuries The prevention of physical injuries begins with good housekeeping. Tools, parts and other things should not be left lying around. Hatches should be closed when not in use and protected when in use. Use the knowledge that bending the knees and lifting with muscles of the legs can save strained or injured backs. Horseplay and haste, as well as knowingly unsafe or unstable practices for the sake of expediency are common causes of injury, and should always be avoided. A safety belt and tether must be worn when entering any enclosed tanks (confined space) where access is difficult and assistance may be needed to climb out. A second person should always be "topside" and physically able to pull you out. This person should never enter the tank to remove you without calling for help and donning appropriately protective equipment when entering the tank. All normal operation and maintenance procedures may be accomplished without entry into confined spaces. Electrical shock hazards are always present where electrical equipment is being used. When maintenance is being performed on such equipment the power to the unit must be disconnected. Lock-out/tag out capability is provided on all disconnects, which are all within reach of the controlled equipment. This is for the safety of the operator. Always use these devices when working on any eauipment. BEA Project No. 307808 The Cliffs at High Carolina 30 Operation & Maintenance Manual Prevention of Infections Workers who come in contact with sewage are exposed to all the hazards of water -borne diseases, including typhoid fever, para -typhoid fever, amoebic dysentery, infectious jaundice and other intestinal infections. Tetanus and skin infections must also be guarded against. Vaccines against these diseases are recommended. A first aid kit should be placed in the control room. No cut or scratch is too minor to receive attention. A two percent tincture of iodine or Merthiolate should be immediately applied to all cuts. Work clothes or coveralls should be worn and laundered frequently. You should be aware that you are in a bacterial environment, and you can and will carry these bacteria with you when you go elsewhere. There should be no smoking in any part of the plant. It is practically impossible to avoid contamination by sewage of the ends of pipes, cigars or cigarettes. Smoking is also a potential source of ignition for any flammable vapors present. "Keeping the hands below one's collar", while working with sewage or sludge is an excellent rule. A majority of infections reach the body by way of mouth, nose, eyes or ears. Hands should be washed before smoking or eating. Soap preparations requiring no water rinse are available for field use. Of course, the common drinking cup should be banned and paper cups used. Prevention of Iniury from Noxious Gases and Oxygen Deficiency A noxious gas is one that is directly or indirectly injurious or destructive to the health or life of humans. They may cause burns, explosions, asphyxiation or poisoning. Non-poisonous gases may asphyxiate simply by mechanically excluding oxygen. Conditions for the presence of such gases can occur in sewage treatment plants. Hydrogen Sulfide (rotten egg smell) is a poisonous gas associated with sewage. Generally it present in very small amounts, but in an enclosed tank containing sewage with no BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 31 � ventilation, it may accumulate to deadly concentrations. Hydrogen sulfide is particularly dangerous since the human sense of smell becomes desensitized to the odor with exposure. Methane or sewer gas may form under similar conditions. Rather than being poisonous it is flammable and potentially explosive. Like Hydrogen Sulfide, it may accumulate in non- ventilated areas. This is one reason that proper operation and maintenance of your bio -air system is highly important. Gasoline or other flammable, corrosive, toxic, or explosive liquids may be dumped into the sewer lines causing similar problems. Your plant maintains constant positive ventilation of the plant so long as the bio -blower and vent blower are operated. It is therefore important that these units be kept in operation at all times. To protect himself from the danger of noxious gases, the operator must follow a few simple rules: 1. Never enter an enclosed non -ventilated area without a safety line and always have an observer outside the area capable of pulling you out. This second person should never go down in a rescue attempt without respiration equipment lest he be overcome as well. 2. Always have the blowers on when entering a tank. 3. Never smoke within the plant. 4. In case of doubt do not enter without making precautions below. 5. If it is necessary that you enter an enclosed or non -ventilated area then you must: a) wear an air pack and mask b) have a safety line c) have someone on the outside who has the ability to remove you d) have a system of communication or signals between you and the person outside Handling of Chemicals Aside from the physical safety aspect of proper lifting and handling the containers to avoid injury from the chemicals themselves. Each chemical provided must by law be accompanied by a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). You should always familiarize yourself with this information provided, including the provision and donning of protective clothing or protective breathing or eye shielding apparatus, and the handling steps recommended to minimize your exposure to injury. f BEA Project No. 307808 The Cliffs at High Carolina 32 Operation & Maintenance Manual 1 rasp t 2.7 Emergency Plan General Discussion / Intro to Vulnerability Analysis A Vulnerability Analysis was used to estimate would be adversely affected by each of the fo 1 Natural Disaster (eg.

Such winds are not known Operation & Maintenance Manual o9rsPk� 99 The plant could suffer consequential damage from high winds such as damage from flying debris, tree fall, or power outage; however these consequences are similar to the respective accident or sabotage scenarios, and need not be described separately. The remaining natural disaster is an earthquake. This plant has been designed to withstand a seismic Class II event, which is greater than the most probable seismic event classification in this area, so seismic damage is not anticipated as a possible occurrence. Faulty or Negligent Operations To address the issue of faulty or negligent operation or maintenance, neither is acceptable behavior on the part of the licensed operator, and is cause for immediate remediation and / or dismissal once discovered. As there is no fault with the facility, correction of deficiencies in operation or maintenance, once discovered, is the proper procedure to return the plant to proper operation. There would be no cause to haul or cease operation unless the improper operation resulted in imminent danger to public health or safety, such as plant overflow, in which case immediate action should be taken to abate the non-compliant condition. If such negligence should result in non-compliant discharge, the procedures specified in the permit for such a situation should be followed as appropriate to the specific defect resulting from the faulty operation. The most common negligent operation is failure to repair or replace a failed backup unit of equipment promptly, so that a spare is not available when the second unit also fails. This failure results in an emergency situation which must be dealt with as an emergency according to this plan. Accident or Deliberate Abuse wo All objects are susceptible to destruction through determined attack. For this event, an i assessment of the resulting damage and its effect on operation would be required, after which the necessary repairs would be made prior to resumption of operation and discharge. Temporary measures, on a case-by-case basis would be taken to assure no non- compliance disposal during this period. Compliance would be involved in the approval of measures taken and time schedule for completion of the work while such repairs were made. low BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 34 Measures have been taken in the design and materials of construction to prevent debilitating damage from casual acts of vandalism and accident. Tankage is of concrete and access is by r latched aluminum doorways which have been cast in, and access is through keyed entryways. P1 The equipment is located within a building and is accessed from inside. It is thus protected from d,d most forms of projection events or action. The exterior has been specifically designed to y withstand impact from golf balls, and so will be impervious to all but the most deliberate attack. Damage to the Aerobic Tower housings and equipment protective covering can result from projectiles. Perforations are unlikely to result in damage which would require emergency action, however, impacts from large objects at speed, such as bullets, runaway vehicles or falling trees can cause significant damage which cannot be repaired immediately. Consequently, it is recommended that the landscaping plan include barriers which would stop or deflect vehicles from reaching the plant, as a reasonably prudent prevention measure. At present, there are no trees in the area of the plant which could inflict severe damage, but future considerations should be given to maintenance of growth which could inflict damage. Specific Defects All treatment facilities and this one is no exception, are subject to failures of specific components. Therefore redundancy has been built into the design to accommodate such specific failure modes. In many cases, switchover to redundant components is done automatically. In other cases, spare equipment is maintained for immediate use or for preventive maintenance. Under emergency scenarios such as considered below, multiple or unusual failures are typically generated which should be separately considered. These are considered on a case-by-case basis, as multiple failures can result from a single event, and conversely the same defect can result from a number of different causes which would have the same effect and he same course of action. Table I has therefore been created which classifies the effects under each of the possible emergency scenarios as regards each component to be affected, describing the effect, the nature of the emergency created, and the action to be taken. As the descriptions are too length to fit appropriately within the table, they are referenced by numbers and letters to more descriptive texts in which alternatives are described. BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 35 �d I Additionally, it is recognized that the disposal system is subject to failure as evidenced by overflow of the surface impoundment, or high groundwater measurements found n the piezometers. Such events are considered emergencies, as under such circumstances a non-compliant condition exists. Until remediation of the condition, hauling of wastewater to the Buncombe County MSD, as specified in the permit is to occur. Immediate notification of such a situation must be made to NCDENR DWQ. In this notification, the nature of the ry emergency, cause of failure, and the remedial action taken must be described.

Continue operation with reserves pending replacement as long as possible. When reserves are no longer available, discontinue discharge and continue operation to maintain biomass until material and labor resources have been restored.

BEA Project No. 307808 The Cliffs at High Carolina 38 Operation & Maintenance Manual '1 3.0 Effluent Monitoring System 3.1 Effluent Water Quality Monitoring Daily and monthly effluent sampling should be conducted in accordance with the NCDENR Non -Discharge Permit issued for the site. Non -discharge Monitoring Reports are required to be submitted to the NCDENR DWQ Aquifer Protection Section monthly. 3.2 Weather Monitoring Treated effluent is not to be irrigated if weather conditions are not conducive to irrigation. Specifically, irrigation should not occur if the temperature is below freezing and/or precipitation has recently occurred or is occurring. The operator must check weather conditions daily with regard to temperature to insure the irrigation cycle is not running during freezing conditions. The operator should also check weather forecasts to anticipate periods of required wet weather storage and monitor storage levels accordingly. As rain events can not always be predicted (afternoon summer showers), a rain gauge is integrated into the system to automatically delay the irrigation cycle during sudden rain events. If the irrigation schedule delay causes the level in the irrigation dose tank to reach a high water condition, the 9 -day storage pond is engaged with the same control sequence as an irrigation zone, and used to relieve the dose tank to the peak dosing schedule level. The activation of the solenoid controlling flow in to the pond will also shut the normally open solenoid valve on the pond discharge outlet. The level in the pond must be manually observed daily. Effluent stored in this pond can be relieved by opening the manual gate valves located at the pond discharge valve box (at the pond) and the manual gate valve on the 4 inch return line from the pond located near the dose tank. The operator must monitor continuously the levels in the dose tank and shut the influent gate valve before a high water alarm condition is observed. Should a high water condition be observed in the dose tank, the normally open solenoid on the pond outlet control valving will be actuated and closed. Both BEA Project No. 307808 Operation & Maintenance Manual The Cliffs at High Carolina 39 gate valves should remain closed during normal operation, but any rain accumulation in the pond should be relieved and the earliest opportunity after rain events. The operator must relieve the pond during periods of low flow. 3,3 Upset Condition Monitoring An upset condition in the system is monitored by the turbidity meter located prior to the disinfection units. If the turbidity meter reads >10 NTU, a signal is sent to the PC Control System that will activate an alarm and eliminate irrigating zones which are less than 50 ft from property lines. Specifically Zones 4 and 5 will be eliminated from the irrigation schedule until the turbidity problem is corrected. BEA Project No. 307808 The Cliffs at High Carolina 156 Operation & Maintenance Manual 4.0 Drip Irrigation System 4.1 Operation The drip irrigation system is controlled by the Wastewater Systems Inc. PC Control System. The standard irrigation schedule should spread out the daily flows over a 24 hour period as much as possible. An irrigation schedule for the 200,000 gpd design flow is presented as Attachment A. It will take several years for the system to reach this flow level. The daily irrigation schedule should be set up to allow for maximum rest time between zone doses, but this schedule should always be evaluated to accommodate wet weather conditions and storage pond relief (see Section 3.2). The WWS Operations manual for the PC System is provided in Attachment B. The system controls the irrigation schedule by activating the solenoid control valves at the head of the drip irrigation zone along with engaging the skid mounted pumping system. The typical 24 hour Irrigation Schedule is provided in the engineering plans. Typically the irrigation schedule is set up to dose the daily flow over a period of 24 hours. However, during periods of freezing or wet weather, this schedule may be amended to condense the irrigation schedule. The PC system monitors instantaneous flow during dosing events (with the integrated flow meter) which is read by the computer and compared to flow range tolerances. With the pressure compensating emitters, each actual dose flow should be very close to the calculated flow. If the flow monitored is outside of the range of tolerances, a'leak (high flow) or clog (low flow) can be detected. The zone that was monitored outside of the tolerances is then excluded from subsequent dosing cycles until the operator puts it back in to use. BEA Project No. 307808 The Cliffs at High Carolina 41 Operation & Maintenance Manual i 4.2 Maintenance The disc filtration system is automatically backwashed at preset intervals several times per day. The backwash is directed via a low head pump back to the front of the equalization tank. The skid mounted centrifugal pumps should be periodically checked for leaks. Any repairs should be conducted in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Flushing of the drip fields can be initiated at the operator's discretion. Typically each zone will be flushed automatically every two weeks. The operator should pick optimal weather and influent flow conditions to flush the system. Only one zone is flushed at a time, allowing for similar flow and TDH conditions as with the regular dosing cycle that doses two zones at a time. The system hydraulics are such that a minimum 2 ft/s in the drip tubing and return lines is facilitated. The flushing cycle is engaged by simply dosing a single zone outside of the normal irrigation sequence and PC system opens the solenoid valve on the system return line, allowing not only a regular dose in the irrigation lines but also a flush through the system. Irrigation drip zones should be routinely observed. While a zone is being dosed, the disposal area should be observed in the field. Manifolds should be checked for leaks. The irrigation area should be inspected for line leaks and areas of effluent ponding. Should ponding occur, the situation should be rectified according to the most prudent solution including but not limited to: o Performing minor manual shaping of the ground surface to reflect uniform sloping conditions consistent with the general landscape. o Replacing small segments of irrigation tubing with blanking (tubing with no emitters) o Reevaluating the soil conditions in the problematic area and upon further coordination with the project soils scientist and/or project engineer, reevaluating the loading rate of a particular subzone.

Waste sludge is not to be processed at The Cliffs at High Carolina. Wasted sludge is conditioned for thickening and then to be transported for off-site disposal at a permitted POTW facility. The designated facility is the Buncombe County Municipal Sewer District (MSD) wastewater treatment facility located on Riverside Drive in Woodfin, NC. Buncombe County MSD is an approved residual disposal/utilization site that provides sludge stabilization in accordance with EPA requirements 40 CRF 503 and 40 CFR Part 257 Appendix II. The facility has sufficient excess capacity and routinely accepts hauled waste from septage transporters. Provided in Attachment C is a sludge acceptance letter from Buncombe County MSD. Sludge wasting will be governed by the requirements of the sludge age maintenance and as such subject to influent flow characteristics. Sixty days of sludge holding capacity is provided based upon calculated sludge production. At the design flow of 200,000 gpd the sludge generation is calculated to be 700 gallons per day. At ultimate build out of The Cliffs at High Carolina septage hauling may be occurring on a weekly basis. A licensed septic hauler will be contracted for disposal to Buncombe County MSD.

Computer management allows extremely accurate flow control and operator friendliness. By using pressure compensating dripper tube, even and controlled wastewater dispersal is achieved over the entire disposal area. This overview of the "Perc- Rite" system will present general system capabilities, as well as the site-specific options that are available. Combining state of the art computer controls with pressure compensating drip tubing provides an unmatched level of flow control. The "Perc-Rite" unit measures the effluent flow to the fraction of a gallon if required. It is this flow measurement, which is monitored by the computer that ensures each absorption area receives the design flow of effluent. Once the effluent is measured and leaves the unit, the pressure compensating drip tubing will disperse it evenly over the entire area. The "Perc-Rite" unit is controlled via a state of the art controller and three float switches located in the dosing vessel. The system is dosed on time, and the designed flow is distributed evenly over a twenty-four hour period. The system float switches are only to allow the system to monitor the level of the dosing vessel. The system can be run by either elapsed time or real time in either event when it is time to start a dosing cycle the system checks to see that there are no system failures, and also checks the status of the float switches to verify there is enough effluent in the dosing vessel to complete a dosing and a flush cycle. If any of the checks fail the system remains idle until the next time to start. If all checks are o.k. The system will start a dose to the current zone selected, and check the status of the zone to see if it is time to flush the zone. If no flush is required the system will pump the programmed dose to the zone while monitoring flow, if necessary the system will backwash the filters during this process. After the completion of the dose the system will shut down by closing the field valve(s) but may continue to run a pump for a preset time to ensure the proper closure of the field valve(s). This time is set by the factory at system startup if needed. The process is repeated on the next start time. If it is time to flush the field the system will complete a field flush cycle on the zone and then complete the normal dosing cycle. The filtration package provided with the "Perc-Rite" unit is unmatched. The Spin - Klin filters are matched with automatic backwashing to protect the drip tubing from clogging by particles from the dosing vessel. The backwashing of the filters Waste Water Systems Inc. -10- M e When the backwash cycle is triggered, the master valve closes allowing maximum pressure for backwashing. Then one filter valve changes states, thus taking the filter offline and blocking the flow of unfiltered effluent to the filter. Effluent is then filtered through the remaining filters and fed in reverse through the offline filter, thus causing the filter to spin clean and discharge the remains out the backwash line. After a short delay the process will be completed on each remaining filter. The whole process can be completed in about 25 seconds per filter with no reserve backwash water required. Automatic drip field flushing is another feature unique to the "Perc-Rite" system. This flushing allows the tubing to be scoured free of any buildup that might hinder performance. By cleaning the tubing, pipe, and manifolds, emitter clogging is eliminated. Thus the drip tubing will continue to deliver precise and accurate doses to the absorption area. The dripper lines are automatically set to flush after every 16 days of system operation. If any fields are not in operation they will still be set to flush after 16 days and they will flush the next time they are dosed. This function is activated by the controller which opens the field flush valve, thus allowing the flushed effluent to be returned to the pretreatment tank. The duration of this cycle is approximately five minutes per drip zone section. The flushing action creates a high effluent velocity, which produces a cleaning action over the inside walls of the drip tubing and emitters. The "Perc-Rite" effluent disposal system integrates data logging and on-site monitoring with the operation of the system to produce unmatched system control, operator friendliness, and environmental safety. The data regarding flows can be opened into a spreadsheet to aid in recording. The operator will be able to download the days flows, as well as monthly flows from as far back as three months for daily flows, and 30 months for monthly flows. This aids large systems in complying with rules that require an accurate record of daily flows. Remote monitoring of the system is accomplished by the installation of remote monitoring software installed on the "Perc-Rite" system computer, which allows the manufacturer to remotely control the system from anywhere a phone line is present. Operators may also wish to purchase and install the software on home or Waste Water Systems Inc. -11 - w PC system Operations Manual Waste Water Systems Inc. can be initiated in two ways. First, backwashing can be initiated by total flow discharged through the system. The number of gallons, which will start a backwash cycle, can be customized to meet any sites needs. The second backwash triggering mechanism is a differential pressure switch. This switch acts as a fail- safe to ensure proper effluent filtration. The switch will measure differential pressure across the filter bank. When the pressure differential reaches a preset point the controller is told to start a backwash cycle regardless of flow through the system. This feature guarantees proper effluent filtration and flow even during periods of less than desirable pretreatment conditions. When the backwash cycle is triggered, the master valve closes allowing maximum pressure for backwashing. Then one filter valve changes states, thus taking the filter offline and blocking the flow of unfiltered effluent to the filter. Effluent is then filtered through the remaining filters and fed in reverse through the offline filter, thus causing the filter to spin clean and discharge the remains out the backwash line. After a short delay the process will be completed on each remaining filter. The whole process can be completed in about 25 seconds per filter with no reserve backwash water required.

In addition to simply monitoring these functions the unit can also control itself based on the data received. For example, if a line is broken and a zone is flowing freely, the unit will record the flow variance. If the flow variance is significant enough, not only will the condition be recorded, but the zone can be automatically taken off line to prevent further environmental contamination. The overall system will continue to run to allow for wastewater disposal in the unaffected zones while awaiting repair of the affected zone. The monitoring also records the zone, time, and date for each variance. This is an Invaluable aid in maintenance and troubleshooting. Along with the capability to enable or disable zones via the controller, the system can also incorporate moisture sensors in the disposal fields to prevent over saturation to any individual field. If it is not important to control the fields individually, but the overall disposal area must be monitored the system has an auxiliary input which may be attached to external devices such as a rain gauge. This input will stop the system from disposing of effluent until the event has cleared. Waste Water Systems Inc. - 12 - 0, PC system Operations Manual Waste Water Systems Inc. 3. CONTROL OVERVIEW Through extensive research, testing, and application Waste Water Systems Inc. has developed an automatic control system for drip distribution of effluent. Based on specific operational procedures the system gallons per day (GPD) is pumped from the dosing vessel at specific time intervals, through the filter unit, and distributed (dosed) to the drip zones at the designed loading rate of the soil. During the dose, insufficient and/or excess flow rates are tested. The control system performs preventative maintenance on the filter distribution unit and the drip distribution zones at their appropriate intervals. The control enclosure requires a dedicated 120vac power source to operate this does not include the power to operate any pump motors.

FLOAT SWITCH SCREEN 5 (Figure 14) The floats screen (figure 14) shows the status of the systems three normally open float switches. Pressing the Return button returns you to the system screen (figures 4 & 5) 10.1 The Low Water float switch is on the bottom and is used as a pump safety switch to ensure the pumps do not run dry. The system will never start in automatic if the low water float is not on (closed), and if the low water switch opens during a cycle the system will stop the cycle. When the switch in on (closed) it will be green on the float switch screen. There is a sixty second delay (debounce) from the time the float switch closes till the float switch turns green on the float switch screen to prevent the float from bouncing on and off. You can watch this time count down in the center of the switch on the float switch screen. When the system is unlocked the operator may change this delay time. 10.2 The Dose Enable float is in the middle and is used to ensure there is enough effluent in the dosing vessel to complete a Field Flush and a Dosing Cycle to the largest zone. The system will not start a dose cycle in automatic if the dose enable switch is not on (closed) however unlike the low water float, the system will continue to run if the dose enable float opens during a cycle. The dose enable float switch functions the same on the float switch screen as the low water float.

PC 16 means 16 zones, PC 24 means 24 zones, and PC 32 means 32 zones. These maximum numbers are divided by two if the dosing technique is dual (2) because in dual zone dosing mode 2 field valves equal one zone. Pressing on the zones number and entering a new number can change the number of zones. Be Careful if you enter 9 and you only have eight field valves the system may try to run zone 9 and will cause a system failure.

Pressing on the dosing technique number and entering a new number can change the dosing technique. The system will only allow a one or two. 11.3 Backwash by Flow shows the number of gallons to flow through the meter in automatic before the system backwashes the filters. This number can be fairly high because the differential pressure gauge will always start a backwash if the filters get dirty. Pressing backwash by flow gallons and entering a new number can change this number. After entering the new number the filters screen (figure 16) will appear so the filter dwell and duration times can be changed. The duration is the time each individual filter washes and the dwell is the time between each filter. The filter screen will be different according to the number of filters on each system. Pressing the time to change and entering a new time can change the times (although the factory defaults are usually sufficient). Pressing the Return button will close the filters window. (Figure 16) 11.4 Next Zone shows the next zone to run when a dosing cycle starts as long as that particular zone is not failed or turned off.

The files are saved by date and will look as follows, (Rd020330) the first two letters (Rd) stand for remote daily so this would be a daily file. A monthly file would begin with the first two letters of (Rm). The rest of the file name is read as follows (yymmdd), therefore (Rd020330) would be remote daily (Rd), 2002 (02), March (03), 30th (30). Since the computer logs at 8:00 a.m. this example would be the daily log file for March 29Th at 8:00 a.m. to March 30th 8:00 a.m. (Figure 36) 6.
