The facility is permitted to distribute 180 dry tons of residuals per year. 9.41 dry tons were produced in 2018 and 26.71 dry tons were distributed. Residuals distributed in 2018 were produced in 2017. The residuals analysis was conducted as required by the permit. Metals were within ceiling and monthly average concentration limits. Pathogen Reduction: Fecal coliform density was met – all seven samples were below 1000 MPN/gram of total solids. PFRP Alternative 5 – Pasteurization temperatures were documented at 158 deg F or greater for at least 30 minutes. Vector Attraction Reduction: Alternative 6 Alkaline Stabilization: Temperature corrected pH was documented at 12 or greater for at least 2 hours and 11.5 after 22 additional hours. TCLP is required once per permit cycle. The TCLP was last performed in 2015. The Town distributes all residuals using their own equipment. Hauling records were included. Documentation of site/field inspections was included. According to the WWTP ORC, residuals were not processed from June 2018 – December 2018 due to problems with the electrical control panel on the lime/sludge handling equipment. Activated sludge was held in the WWTP EQ basin and during that period.
