Subject: Town of Old Fort Annual Bioresiduals report, (calendar year 201RECENEDINDDFQI9'VR
FEB - 4 2019
To Whom It May Concern: Non -Discharge
Permitting Unit
The Town of Old Fort operates a 1.2 MGD wastewater treatment plant (NPDES #
NC0021229). The Town is no longer required to have a Pretreatment Program due to
the lack of a sizeable industry.
The Town has a bioresidual management permit, # WQ0011260, to process class A
bioresiduals to be sold or given away to the public. The process consists of two 0.075
MG sludge holding tanks, a 0.7 meter belt press and an RDP lime pasteurization process
with a covered storage pad.
The solids are mixed with quicklime to raise the pH up to 12 or higher after two hours
and 11.5 or greater after 22 hours to satisfy the vector attraction reduction requirement,
and heat the solids to 70 degrees Celsius or greater to satisfy the PFRP requirement. The
pH is tested immediately as the final product begins to be discharged from the
pasteurization vessel, after two hours, and again after 22 more hours. The temperature is
monitored at the pasteurization vessel inlet and outlet every thirty minutes.
In March 2018, the Town of Old Fort distributed 26.71 dry tons of bioresiduals that had
been produced in 2017. These residuals were given to a farmer for use on hayfields.
These residuals were sampled for metals and nutrients in December 2017, and fecal
coliform in February 2018.
In all of 2018 the Town of Old Fort WWTP produced 9.41 dry tons of bioresiduals,
which were sampled for metals and nutrients on December 27, 2018. These bioresiduals
will be sampled for fecal coliform in February 2019. As always, untested biosolids are
stored apart from those previously analyzed. In 2018 the Town replaced the electrical
control panel for the belt press. Plans for replacing the electrical control panel for the
lime/sludge handling equipment had to be put on hold because of greater than anticipated

expense. Subsequently, because of control panel trouble the Town was unable to process
bioresiduals from June 2018 through December 2018. During this time activated sludge
was wasted to the WWTP Equalization Basin for processing at a later time. Also, due to
May and September high flows due to rainfall, inflow and infiltration, some activated
sludge was washed into clarifiers that were not in use at the time. This sludge will have
to be manually removed at a later time.
Enclosed with this narrative are copies of the operational logs and laboratory analyses of
the bioresiduals. if you have any questions or require further information, please contact
me at 828-668-4561.

AGRONOMIC APPLICATION RATES FOR BIORESIDUALS
After receiving the results from the laboratory analysis of the bioresiduals, the VVVVTP ORC will calculate
nutrient and other chemical content of the residuals in pounds per dry ton. This will determine the
application rate for the bioresiduals. Because of the high content of lime, the bioresiduals will almost
always be applied according to the lime content and lime needs of the field. Usually this will work out to
be two dry tons of bioresiduals per acre, which would be approximately equal to one ton of pure lime
per acre, the NC Dept of Agriculture recommended amount.
2018 LIME CONTENT:
Sludge dry weight, tons: 4.38
Lime dry weight, tons: 5.03
( 1070 pounds lime per dry ton)
Total (sludge + lime) dry weight tons = 9.41
Total (sludge +lime + moisture) wet weight tons = 18.09 52.0 % solids
2018 NITROGEN CONTENT:
P.A.N. 2670 mg/kg 909 kg/ton; 2.20 pounds / kg; 1,000,000 mg/kg;
5.34 pounds PAN / ton, = 10.7 pounds PAN / acre;
The smallest Realistic Yield for a soil in McDowell County is Porter's loam, stony which has realistic
nitrogen rate of 120 lb / acre and a yield of 2.8 tons for fescue (hay).
2018 Phosphorus content:
Total phosphorus =1780 mg/kg
3.56 pounds phosphorus / ton; = 7.12 pounds phosphorus / acre;
The smallest Realistic Yield for soil in McDowell County is Porter's loam, stony which has an estimated
phosphorus removal of 44 lb P205 / acre for fescue (hay).
2018 Potassium content:
Total potassium = 496 mg/kg
0.99 pounds potassium / ton; =1.98 pounds potassium / acre;

'The Town of Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) utilizes a lime
pasteurization process to stabilize and transform its wastewater sludge into a beneficial
product. Excess sludge from the waste treatment process is stored in two 75,000 gallon
aerated sludge holding tanks. € lze sludge can be thickened there to 1.0 to 1.5 % solids,
by turning the air off to the tank, allowing the solids to settle, and decanting the clearer
liquid on top back to the headworks of the plans. The sludge is then pumped through
pipes from the storage tanks to a Roediger 0.7 meter belt press. The belt press dewaters
the sludge to a 16 to 18 % solids cake. From the belt press discharge the sludge cake is
transported by conveyor to the RDP lime pasteurization equipment. The sludge cake is
first mixed with lime in a large mechanical blender. The ratio of dry weight sludge to
lime is 10 1.3 to 1.5. The lime raises the pH of the sludge cake to greater than 12.0 for a
minimum of two hours, and greater than 11.5 for an additional 22 hours. The lime also
raises the temperature of the sludge cake to above 70 degrees Celsius. The sludge/lime
mixture (biosolids or bioresiduals) discharges into a pasteurization vessel which
transports the biosolids to the final product conveyor while maintaining the 70 degree
temperature for at least 30 minutes. The combination of increased pal, increased
temperature, and time, as verified by tests run in the WWTP lab, meets the EPA 503
regulations for a Class A material. According to the EPA regulations, this process is an
effective method of sludge stabilization and pathogen reduction, and results in an
environmentally safe product with multiple beneficial uses. After discharge from the
final conveyor, the biosolids are 41 to 50 % solids. The biosolids are stored on a covered
and curbed asphalt storage paid, located next to the belt press building and lime
equipment. The covered storage pad minimizes the effects of weather on the pile. The
leachate from the pile is drained f um the storage pad black to the headworks of the plant.
The pad is large enough to contain approximately 12 months of biosolids. The Town
owns a spreader truck which will be used to distribute the biosolids on fields. The
biosolids will be sold or given away to local farmers, nurserymen and landowners for use
as a soil amendment or soil pH adjustment additive.

Lime pasteurized biosolids from the Town of Old Fort will be attractive to several
markets, including farming businesses and the private sector.
Several large farming businesses and nurseries are located in the McDowell County area.
These operations could use the lime pasteurized biosolids as a soil pH enhancer, and also
to benefit from the organic and nutritional value of the biosolids. The litre pasteurized
biosolids also have the ability to improve the physical properties of soil.
In the private sector several farmers have expressed interest in rasing the lime pasteurized
biosolids as a soil pH enhancer and low-grade fertilizer.
The biosolids could also be used by the Town as a soil conditioner for landscaping, as
well as fill material for soil rehabilitation projects.
The Town's new spreader truck will greatly increase the Town's ability to distribute
biosolids, eliminating the need to contract this work to others.

In the method of lime pasteurization used at the Town of Old Fort Wastewater Treatment
Plant residuals Management Facility, wastewater sludge is dewatered to 16 to 18 %
solids and then mixed with quicklime in a large mechanical blender. During this process,
the pH of the sludge is elevated to 12.0 and remains greater than 12.0 for at least 2 hours,
and greater than 11.5 for 22 more hours. The temperature of the lime/ sludge mixture
will be greater than 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit).
The lime/sludge mixture (biosolids) is passed from the blender to a pasteurization vessel,
which maintains the temperature of 70 degrees Celsius for at least 30 minutes.
The combination of elevated pH and elevated temperature allows the biosolids to be
classified as a Class A product according to the -EPA 503 regulations. The lithe -
pasteurization method of producing biosolids is approved by the EPA as an effective
method of sludge stabilization and pathogen reduction, and results in an environmentally
safe product with multiple beneficial uses.
These biosolids have value as a soil pal conditioner and as a low grade fertilizer. When
used according to the recommendations in this brochure, this product may be used as a
soil pH amendment for farmers, landscapers, gardeners and commercial enterprises.

,GENERAL USES.PROPERTIES AND PRECAUTIONS
Lime pasteurized biosolids can be utilized advantageously by the local, large scale fanner
as a soil pH enhancer and low-grade fertilizer. It can also be used by individuals wishing
to enhance the pH of their lawns and gardens or any other area that may need a soil
amendment.
Lime pasteurized biosolids contain plant nutrients and may be considered a low-grade
fertilizer. However, its main value is as a soil pH enhancer and as a soil conditioner.
Lime stabilized biosolids are known to improve the physical properties of soil in the
following ways:
Enhanced aggregation — Lune stabilized biosolids increase the tendency of soil
particles to stick together.
Increased water retention — Allows sandy soils to hold water better.
Improved permeability — Helps make clay or other heavy soils more friable and
loose, reducing compaction.
Improved aeration — Looser soil encourages root growth.
Increases overall soil pH — Restores soil pH to optimum conditions for several
commercial / agricultural products.
Lime pasteurized wastewater biosolids are a product of municipal sewage. 'These
biosolids meet the Class "A" requirements established by the EPA and NCDEQ. Contact
with children and pets should be minimized and direct ingestion of lime stabilized
biosolids should be avoided. Also, due to the highly alkaline nature of line pasteurized
biosolids, prolonged contact with the biosolids should be avoided.
As with agricultural lime, processed biosolids cannot be applied to any site that is
flooded, frozen or snow covered, and adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent
surface runoff from carrying any disposed or stored biosolids into any surface waters.
Biosolids also cannot be placed any closer than 100 feet from any public or private water
supply source (including wells), and no closer than 25 feet from any stream, river, lake or
natural drainage way.
Application of these biosolids is prohibited except in accordance with the User
Agreement and Cold Port Wastewater Treatment Plant Land Application Permit
WQ0011260.
