Subject: Town of Old Fort WWTP Class A Residuals Distribution Permit WQ0011260 Renewal
To Whom It May Concern:
The Town of Old Fort is submitting this application and requesting the renewal of its Class A Residuals
Distribution permit WQ0011260. The current permit expires January 31, 2020.
I have enclosed residuals distribution program information, operation & maintenance plan information
and the completed application. Also included are certified laboratory reports, an operation log and Old
Fort lab benchsheets showing compliance. We are requesting no changes to the permit and have no
plans for major changes to the process. During this ending permit cycle the Town replaced the belt
press electrical control panel, compressed air equipment, belt drive motor and VFD, and liquid sludge
pump motor and VFD ($75000.). In the coming permit cycle, the Town hopes to paint its lime silo and
replace the lime/sludge handling equipment control panel.
If you have any questions or require further information, please contact me at the numbers and
addresses below. Thank you very much for your help.
Sincerely,
Anthony West

TOWN OF OLD FORT
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
MCDOWELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
MAY 1 6 2019 A"

PROCESS
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. Only wastewater from the Town of Old Fort and sludge produced from its
WWTP is processed in its residuals handling equipment. Excess sludge from the waste
treatment process is stored in one 75,000 gallon aerated sludge holding tanks. The sludge
can be thickened there to 1.5 to 2.0 % 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
plant. The sludge is then pumped through pipes from the storage tanks to a Ruediger 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 1: 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 pH, 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 pad, 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 from the storage pad back 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 are given away primarily to three local farmers for use as a soil amendment or
soil pH adjustment additive on pasture and hayfields.

MARKETING
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 lime pasteurized
biosolids also have the ability to improve the physical properties of soil.
In the private sector several farmers have expressed interest in using 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.

THE LIME PASTEURIZATION PROCESS
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 lime
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 pH 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 farmer
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 — Lime 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 lime 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 Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant Land Application Permit
WQ0011260.

CLASS A RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WQ0011260
OPERATION & MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Old Fort WWTP Belt Press shall be operated as necessary to allow for wasting of return activated
sludge - 14000 to 20000 gallons per week. In order to best use the belt press, the TSS of the digester
shall be tested each week. If the digester TSS is less than 10000 mg/L (0.01 %) the digester air shall be
cut off for approximately 16 hours allowing the solids to settle; then the clear liquid (supernatant —top
30 to 50 inches of digester) shall be decanted through the decant pipe back to the head of the W WTP.
Return Activated Sludge (RAS) can then be wasted to the digester, increasing the thickness of the liquid
sludge.
BELT PRESS —OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
To operate the belt press:
1. Turn on Pasteurization Vessel (PV) control Panel. Turn on RDP (lime Pasteurization) control
panel. Turn on Roediger (belt press) control panel.
2. Turn on building water valves (2). Turn on polymer feed line valve.
3. On Roediger panel start air compressor and polymer system. On air compressor open valve to
blow out condensation trap; blow out trap every 30 minutes while BP is running.
4. When air compressor tank is full turn switches to tighten both filter belts to running tension. On
Roediger panel turn on dewatering drum drive, belt drive and water pump.
5. On RDP panel turn on final conveyor, lime/sludge blender and BP discharge conveyor. On PV
panel turn on PV belt.
6. Record lime total (from RDP panel) on operation log. Measure depth of digester and record on
operation log.
7. On Roediger panel turn on sludge pump and polymer pump.
8. Ensure that sludge / polymer mix is correct — adjust polymer feed rate as needed.
9. Grease slide pads for BP steering rollers (at beginning of each run). Grease sludge pump at
beginning of each run.
10. When sludge cake starts to fall on BP discharge conveyor, on RDP panel turn on lime screw, lime
feeder and lime silo vibrator.
11. Watch for blender temperature to steadily rise (gauge on RDP panel). In 10-15 minutes PV
panel initial temperature gauge should reach 158*C. Note time temp reaches 158*C on log.
Record initial and final temps, blender temp, lime feed rate every 30 minutes. (xx:00 and xx:30).
12. After running BP 6 to 7 hours (14000 -20000 gallons) turn off polymer system. Start hosing BP
and BP building floor. When polymer runs out sludge pump and polymer pump cut off.
Continue hosing BP. When all sludge has fallen onto BP discharge conveyor, turn off lime
feeder, lime screw and silo vibrator. Complete hosing BP and building.
13. Record lime totalizer on log. Measure digester and record depth on log.
14. Turn off belt drive, dewatering drive, water pump and air compressor. Turn switches to release
belt tension. Close building water valves. Close polymer valve.
15. Turn off lime/sludge blender. After sludge has passed completely thru PV (35 — 40 min) turn off
PV belt and final conveyor.
16. Turn off RDP panel, Roediger panel and PV panel.

MAINTENANCE
Every 2 months grease all fittings on BP and lime/sludge equipment at the beginning of run. In
March of each year change the oil in all BP and lime/sludge equipment according to
manufacturers' recommendations.
As BP is running, watch equipment movement frequently and carefully, especially belts and
bearings. Note any problems and replace/repair as necessary.
Each week, 3 or 4 days after running BP use loader to move sludge from under final conveyor to
large sludge pile.

INSPECTION PLAN
Each year the bioresiduals ORC / Supervisor (currently Tony West) shall visit the planned
receiving site(s) with the Town's spreader truck driver (currently Coy Robinson or Lynn Russell)
and the accepting person before distribution occurs. They shall tour the site(s) noting any
concerns: surface water, wet areas, ditches, sandy areas, property lines, wells, etc. After
completion of distribution at that location, the bioresiduals Supervisor shall revisit the site to
insure the distribution is satisfactory and to check for possible noncompliance. If
noncompliance is observed, the Supervisor shall report it to the Asheville Regional Office by
phone [phone]) within 24 hours or next business day. An emergency requiring
immediate notification shall be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at
800-662-7956, or 800-858-0368. Any phone notification will be followed within 5 days by a
written report outlining actions taken, or to be taken, to prevent problem reoccurrence.
A log of each inspection will be kept. This log will contain date, time, inspectors, location,
owner/representative, a simple hand -drawn sketch of the site, and areas of concern noted.
If there is any question concerning soil pH, soil samples shall be taken and tested at the Old Fort
W WTP. If the soil pH is too low to be raised by the lime to 6.0 pH, residuals cannot be spread on
that site.

SAMPLING AND MONITORING
The Belt Press operator (currently Tony West) shall be responsible for sampling and monitoring
the bioresiduals process.
1. Before starting the BP, calibrate pH meter with 10.0 and 12.45 buffers.
2. After sludge starts discharging final conveyor, collect sludge to fill half -way a quart Ziploc
freezer bag. This amount should be enough for pH and percent solids tests.
3. Test pH within 15 minutes, after 2 hours, and after 24 hours by adding sludge to the 50 mL
mark of a 150 mL beaker and adding deionized water to the 100 mL mark. Place on stirrer
with magnet in beaker, insert pH probe, and record result on final product pH when meter
displays result. If pH is not > 12.0, resample and retest sludge immediately. If ph remains
below 12.0, adjust lime feed rate and check for problems. All sludge processed that was not
up to pH, will be separated and reprocessed through the recycle bin later.
4. Continue to collect equal amounts of sludge in a quart Ziploc bag every 2 hours as long as
sludge discharges. Store this bag in the lab refrigerator at the end of the BP run.
5. Perform percent solids test on sludge collected throughout BP run at the end of the run.
Weigh dish and record on percent solids worksheet. Fill dish with sludge. Weigh and
record. Place dish in oven at 103* to 105*C. Remove dish from oven the next morning and
place in desiccator until temperature stabilizes. When temperature is stable weigh and
record. Calculate percent solids, record on sheet and operation log.
6. The last week of December (when the BP will not be run any more that calendar year)
combine all of the year's sludge samples in a clean bucket. Mix thoroughly. Divide equally
into 3 one -gallon Ziploc bags. Two of these bags go to the contract lab for TCLP (once per
five year permit cycle), metals, corrosivity, reactivity, ignitability. One one -gallon bag is
saved at the WWTP in refrigerator as a back-up until all results are received and accepted.
7. After the above -listed results are received (3 to 4 weeks after submittal) and checked to be
within limits inform contract lab that 7 fecal coliform sludge samples shall be submitted over
the next 14 days. These fecal samples should be collected as close as possible to the time
when bioresiduals are distributed. Collect a quart Ziploc bag half full of sludge for each grab
sample. Collect 2 or 3 samples per day, at least two days apart over 2 weeks. To collect a
sample the front-end loader will be used to dig onto the sludge to reach representative
samples from seven different areas of the pile. After acceptable results are received from
the contract lab, the bioresiduals are ready to be distributed.

AGRONOMIC APPLICATION RATES FOR BIORESIDUALS
After receiving the results from the laboratory analysis of the bioresiduals, the WWTP 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 lime per acre, the NC Dept. of Agriculture recommended
amount.
2011 Lime Content:
Sludge dry wt. tons = 19.58
Lime drywt. tons = 30.63
Total dry wt. tons = 50.21
Total wet wt. tons = 97.69
61 % 1220 Ibs per dryton
31 % 620 Ibs per wet ton

SAFETY AT BELT PRESS
1. Only individuals who have been trained to operate the belt press shall attempt to run it.
2. No loose clothing shall be worn around belt press.
3. Safety glasses should be worn while operating belt press.
4. Hearing protection should be worn inside the belt press building while it is operating.
5. Before starting the belt press, make sure all machine guards are in place, and that all
equipment is in good operating condition.
6. Make no attempts to clean, adjust or repair equipment by placing hands or tools in the
operating path of the equipment while the belt press is operating.
SAFETY WITH SPREADER TRUCK
1. Only individuals who have been licensed and trained to operate the spreader truck shall
attempt to drive it.
2. Only individuals who have been trained to operate the front-end loader shall attempt to drive it.
3. Before starting the spreader truck or loader, inspect the vehicle to insure all equipment is in
good condition.
4. Before application of bioresiduals, inspect receiving field with W WTP ORC to determine proper
areas to apply, and areas to avoid.

AGRONOMIC APPLICATION RATES FOR BIORESIDUALS
After receiving the results from the laboratory analysis of the bioresiduals, the WWTP 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;
