b. Site Plan (Figure 2)
c. Narrative Description
General: The Biosolids Composting Facility produces graded compost as shown in the
Process Flow Plan (Figure 3). The facility operates during normal daylight hours, and is
secured with a chain link fence at night. Yard waste is picked up by City employees and
is limited to branches, stumps and other natural debris. The yard waste is ground up,
mixed with sludge from the Water Reclamation Facility, and placed in the composting
beds in the Compost Building. Compost from the Compost Building is placed in the
Curing Building to complete the process. The finished compost is then �-_adcd int^
uniform sizes for sale or use.
Storage Practices: Yard waste is brought to the site and stored outside south of the
Amendment Building. After grinding the yard waste into 2-inch particles, the material,
or Amendment is stored under cover in the Amendment Building. Once the sludge and
amendment mixture been composted (21-days), the Compost is stored under cover in the
Curing Building for 30 days minimum. Compost is then screened into piles of 4-inch and
3/8-inch size and stored outside on the Curing Pad.
Loading and Unloading Activities: Yard waste is unloaded at the Yard Waste Storage
area south of the Amendment Pad. Mixing trucks are loaded with Amendment at the
Amendment Pad. Mixing trucks unload mixed sludge and Amendment inside the Curing
Building at the east end. Compost is loaded into dump trucks at the Curing Pad area.
Outdoor Process Areas: Yard waste is ground to 2-inch particles on the Amendment Pad.
Compost is separated into 4-inch and 3/8-inch sizes at the Curing Pad. Gases from the

Composting are vented through the Biofilter for biological treatment prior to escaping to
the atmosphere.
Dust/Particulate Control: The grinding and screening operations do not generate
significant amounts of dust, and ground and screened material is shaped into piles by
bucket loaders to control particulates. The Composting process produces some dust, but
this process is inside the Composting Building. Water is sprayed on the Compost as part
of the process. Gases and dust are collected and passed through the Biofilter.
Waste Disposal Practices: Waste is placed inside the Mixing Trucks and deposited in
covered dumpsters at the Water Reclamation Facility. All Yard Waste will eventually be
used in the Composting Process.
d. Potential pollutants
The following potential pollutants could be expected to be present in the stormwater
discharge from the listed outfall.

e. List of Significant Spills
There have been no spills since the facility began operating in February 2003.
f. Non-stormwater Discharge Certification (Appendix A)
The permit requires that all discharge locations be evaluated for the presence of non -
storm water discharges. Any unauthorized storm water dischargers must be eliminated,
or covered under another National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit. The following is a list of non -storm water discharges authorized under the
general permit.
Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner condensate
without added chemicals, springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water,
waterline and fire hydrant flushing, water from footing drains, flows from riparian
habitats and wetlands, and discharges resulting from fire -fighting or fire -training.
The Non-stormwater Discharge Certification will be prepared annually IAW Part 1I,
Monitoring, Controls, and Limitations for Permitted Discharges, Section a, Paragraph l
(e), and signed JAW Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5. The form for
WW

i the certification is located along with Table 2—Non-discharge Evaluation Results in
Appendix A.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
a. Feasibility Study
Identification of material and processes exposed to stormwater runoff: \,J %-1`
• Material:
o Yard waste
o Screened Compost
Processes:
a Grinding of yard waste
o Screening of compost
Actions taken/proposed to -prevent exposure of materials and process:
• Ground yard waste (Amendment) is stored under cover in the Amendment
Building.
• While Compost is curing it is stored under cover in the Curing Building.
• When Compost is screened and stored on the Curing Pad, it is shaped into piles
that resist particulates mixing with precipitation.
Actions taken/proposed to divert runoff away from potential contamination': S+c
Compost that is in the curing stage will not be allowed to extend beyond the edge
of the roof of the Curing Building and become exposed to precipitation.
�7) A silt fence will be installed at the point the runoff from the Curing Pad enters the
l�
stormwater pond to prevent particulates from washing into the pond. The
accumulated particulates will be periodically scooped up and recycled into the
Composting Process.
-V Technical and economic feasibility of taking actions noted above: Actions noted in the
paragraph above are both technical and economically feasible. Insuring that all Compost
is pushed back behind the roof edge requires no additional resources and is within the
capability of the loader operator's skills to accomplish. Installation of a silt fence will
require minimal resources that are available from the General Services Department, and
upkeep and maintenance are currently within the capabilities of the work force at the
Biosolids Compost Facility.
b. Secondary Containment Schedule
The Biosolids Composting F^cility has no requirement for secondary coi.'minment.

d. Fueling Operations
A 90-gallon tank of diesel fuel is towed to the Biosolids Compost Facility to refill the
bucket loader, grinder, and screen. The loader is fueled in the vicinity of the southeastern
rollup door to the Compost Building, and the grinder and screen are filled up on the
Amendment Pad and Curing Pad respectively. A container of Oil -dry is maintained on
site to soak up small spills, along with some rags, broom, and shovel.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan
a. Assessment of Potential Pollutant Sources
Location of areas where spills are likely:
• Emergency Generator next to Compost Building parking area
• Fueling point for Bucket Loader near southeast roll -up door to Compost Building
• Grinder on Amendment Pad
• Screen on Curing Pad
Discharge points of any likely spills:
Any spills at the Generator, Loader fueling point, and Screen will eventually discharge to
the stormwater pond and Outfall Number 1. A spill at the Grinder has the potential to
reach Outfall Numbers 2-6 through the stormwater drainage ditches in the southeast
corner (Yard Waste Storage) of the site.

a. Preventive Maintenance Program
Preventive maintenance of stormwater control systems:
Stormwater management systems will be periodically inspected and maintained. Ditches
and swales will be cleaned of trash and sediment, the sides checked for stability, and
grass maintained as necessary. The stormwater pond will be inspected and maintained
annually, and accumulated sediments removed. Rock check dams will be checked and
accumulated trash, vegetative matter, and sediment will be removed.
Preventive maintenance of facility equipment:

Facility equipment will be inspected and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer's suggested maintenance schedule. Particular attention will be paid to the
Grinder, with its large capacity (315 gallons) fuel tank, and the Screen. Both are exposed
to precipitation and stormwater runoff. The Emergency Generator will be inspected for
leaks periodically. The Bucket Loader and Mixing Trucks will be checked for fluid leaks
before, during, and after operations. Both the Curing Building and Amendment Building
will be checked periodically for leaks that would allow precipitation to reach the stored
material, and to insure that material inside the buildings is not exposed to runoff.
b. Schedule of Inspections:
Identification of qualified personnel to conduct inspections:
The Facility Supervisor will conduct periodic facility and equipment inspections as noted
below. Equipment operators will inspect their equipment each day of operation and
report Ieaks or. spills that have a potential to pollute receiving waters.

a. Qualitative Monitoring: Qualitative monitoring must be performed during a
representative storm event. This is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1
inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event
measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up
to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. The person performing the monitoring
will record the amount of rainfall received (in inches) prior to the monitoring event
and note this on the Qualitative Monitoring Report. Qualitative monitoring will be
performed twice a year, once between July 1 and December 31 (Period 1), and once
between'January I and June 30 (Period 2). The first monitoring period is July 1, 2008
to December 31, 2008. There will be at least a 60-day interval between monitoring
dates in Period I and Period 2. Qualitative Monitoring Reports will 1-filed in
Appendix C.
b. Records and Reports: If there is a problem indicated by the Qualitative Monitoring,
the Department of Public Utilities will investigate the causes, evaluate corrective
actions, and implement those actions as necessary. A written record of such
investigation, evaluation, and implementation will be maintained in Appendix C with
the Qualitative Monitoring Records.
c. Training Records: Record of training received by Biosolid Compost Facility

Goldsboro, North Carolina's commitment to

Karen H. Brashear
HE CITY of Goldsboro, North
Carolina is located in the Neuse
River basin which begins in the
middle of the state and runs to
the estuarine waters of the Pam-
lico Sound: This river basin was
declared "nutrient sensitive" by
the state of North Carolina in 1995. All per-
mitted wastewater dischargers in the
Neuse River basin were required by North
Carolina to reduce the nitrogen discharged
to the river by 30 percent from the baseline
The Goldsboro wastewater
treatment plant (above) is
surrounded by 180 acres of
equalization basins that are
adjacent to the Neuse River.
year of 1995.
After news of the nutrient problems in
the Neuse River reached the City Council,
it was decided that Goldsboro would be a
leader in North Carolina in protecting the
environment. A comprehensive environ-
mental stewardship program was initiated
with a goal to reduce nutrients going into
the river. In 1995, the city's advanced bio-
logical wastewater treatment facility was
discharging effluent of 14 mg/L total nitro-
gen to the Neuse River, In 1997, through
plant control modification this was reduced
to 4 mg/L in the effluent. By 2000, the city
was able to finetune the plant control to fur-
ther reduce the total nitrogen to 3 mg/L, a
76 percent reduction (from 1995). The plant
was able to achieve total phosphorus levels
of 0.03 mg/L. Treatment for both total ni-
trogen and phosphorus is done biologically,
without any chemical addition. Even
though the levels of nutrients in the treat-
ed wastewater effluent were very low, the
City Council was determined to do more to
protect the Neuse River.
CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS
FOR NUTRIENT POLISHING
Two more nutrient reduction projects
were planned and constructed. One built in
2002 was a 40-acre constructed wetlands.
In a natural wetlands, aquatic plants re-
move pollutants in the water by plant up-
take and by microbial action in the roots
and stems of the plants. To mimic nature,
52,000 wetland plants of 13 different
species were planted in diked, clay -lined
basins, creating a wetlands environment.
Four zone types were built in the wetlands;
the shallow mixed marsh zone, the deep
mixed marsh zone, the transition zone, and
the littoral zone. The aquatic plants were
selected to match the environment of each
zone. Between one to four million gallons
per day (mgd) of advanced treated wastew-
ater were sent through the 40-acres of wet-
lands to "polish" nutrients from the water.
The water entering the constructed wet-
lands had 3 mg/L total nitrogen. The re-
sulting "polished" water had less than 1
mg/L total nitrogen remaining in it prior to
being discharged in the Neuse River, The
constructed wetlands project cost $3.3 mil-
lion to build; $1.6 million in grant funds
were provided by the North Carolina Clean
Water Management Trust Fund to help pay
for some of the construction costs. A future
constructed wetlands project is being eval-
uated fbr the treatment of storm water in a
large drainage area in the city to remove to-
tal suspended solids as well as nutrients
from the urban storm water.
Another nutrient reduction project in
2002 involved building a reclaimed water
irrigation system using advanced treated
wastewater for use on the municipal golf
course and 11.4 acres of farmlands. The re-
claimed water used for irrigation both re-
duce nutrients From entering the Neuse

Dewatering consists of a one

presses (2) that produce 18

biosolids are conveyed to
hoppers (3) for loading onto

contain the wood chip
amendment.
supply. The cost of construction was ap-
proximately $3 million. The North Carolina
Clean Water Management Trust Fund pro-
vided $789,360 in grant funds to help pay
for the project.
BIOSOLIDS COMPOSTING FACILITY
In 1997, Goldsboro, began planning a 3.4
mgd expansion of the city's 10.8 mgd
wastewater treatment plant. In conjunction
with this expansion, plans were made to
construct a modified in -vessel composting
facility for biosolids and chipped yard trim-
mings. Land application of biosolids was de-
termined to be too problematic due to inac-
cessibility to fields during extensive rainy
periods and also due to environmental lia-
bility. As part of the city's solid waste pro-
gram, tree limbs are collected from the curb
at city residences. The city had no reliable
disposal method for these tree limbs. Com-
posting both of these waste streams to cre-
ate a desirable marketable product solved
both problems.
The decision to build a composting facili-
ty came with a large price tag. It required a
biosolids dewatering facility to be con-
structed for $2,275,000, in addition to the
$7 million composting facility and associat-
ed equipment. The City Council decided the
long-term advantages outweighed lower
cost alternatives, such as land application.
Modified in -vessel composting had the ben-
efits of running year-round without weath-
er related problems and creating a Class A,
"Exceptional Quality" compost distributed
as a soil amendment under the brand name
of Gold Dust Compost.
The US Filter IPS composting system
was selected as the preferred technology.
ARCADIS engineering in Raleigh handled
the engineering and project management
for both the wastewater treatment and
biosolids composting projects. Engineered
Construction Company, the general con-
tractor, built the com-
post facility during
2002. The current ca-
pacity of the biosolids
composting facility is 7
dry tons/day (6 bays)
but is expandable to 9
dry tons/day (8 bays).
The biosolids dewater-
ing facility was built at
the wastewater treat-
ment facility which is
located nearby.
Dewatering consists of a 1-million gallon
biosolids storage tank where all the waste
activated sludge (0.58 percent total solids)
from the advanced biological tertiary treat-
ment plant is held and aerated. A 3,300
square foot building houses two SernaTech
belt filter presses (2-meter). The dewatered
biosolids (18 percent Total Solids) are car-
ried by screw conveyors to hoppers for load-
ing on the compost mixing trucks.
Tree limbs are brought to the composting
facility and placed in the vicinity of a Mor-
bark horizontal grinder (40 tonsihour). The
chipped amendment is stored under cover in
the nearby 5,000- square foot building to pre-
vent rain from raising its moisture content.
Since the dewatering facility is five -min-
utes away from the composting operation,
two, 22-cubic yard Roto-Mix trucks are used
to transport the cake. Each morning prior to
loading the compost mixing trucks, mois-
ture content analyses are performed at the
city's testing laboratory of samples of the
chipped wood amendment and the biosolids
cake so the compost mixture "recipe" for the
clay can be determined.
The compost mixing trucks have scales
on them so that the weight -based "recipe"
can be measured. First the operator will
load a compost mixing truck with chipped
wood amendment at the Compost Facility
prior to picking up biosolids cake at the
wastewater treatment facility. The com-
post mixing truck uses a large diameter ro-
tor that lifts the ingredients up to two side
augers that thoroughly mix the wood
amendments and biosolids cake together
prior to dumping the loads on the floor in
the composting building.
Once inside the composting building
(40,000 square feet), the mixture is loaded
into one of eight bays by a large heavy-duty
loader (Volvo) with a 4 cy bucket. Each bay
is 104eet wide and 235-feet long and 7-feet
high. Each new "charge" 00'x 14'x 6') load-
ed in a bay is assigned a charge number by
a computer for tracking purposes.
Agitators mounted on rails mix and reaer-
ate the compost as well as move each charge
forward in the bay by,1.0 feet each day. Each
charge has its temperature tracked daily by
thermocouples mounted inside the bay
walls. This data is sent back to the main con-
trol/data-tracking computer to verify that all
PFRP (pathogen reduction) and Vector At-
traction Reduction requirements have been
met. A computer report is generated for each
1310Cvcr.i; AIARGri 2004

charge verifying compliance. The main con-
trol/data-tracking computer also regulates
the frequency and duration of operation of
24 blowers that feed air through piping un-
der the compost in the bays.
A 15,000-sq. ft. biofilter was constructed
to treat building and process air. The build-
ing air is exchanged 12 times each hour into
the biofilter by three 60-lip exhaust blowers
capable of moving 19,400 cubic feet of air
per minute. Plastic "curtains" at each end of
the bays help contain process air, improving
odor treatment efficiency. The 6-feet high
biofilter is built from various layers of ma-
terials, as follows (starting at the bottom):
small stone, 10-inch air piping, larger stone,
coarse pine wood chips, a biofilter mixture
(2:1:1= softwood chips: hardwood chips: leaf
compost), and a layer of coarse pine wood
chips on the top. An irrigation system is in-
stalled to keep the
biofilter moist to pro-
mote the growth of
microorganisms that
"scrub" odors.

PRODUCTS
Typically, each
compost mixture
charge moves to the
end of the compost
bay in 21 to 25 days.
After the charge
reaches the end of the
compost bay, it is re-
moved by a heavy-
duty front end loader
The biosolids/woad chip feedstock is put into aerated
bays (top) equipped with agitators that mix and move
material forward. Plastic curtains (bottom photo) help
contain process air within the active composting area.
to a separate curing building
(12,000 square feet). The compost
is cured for at least 30-days prior
to screening. A 150-ton/hour Ex-
tec trommel screen is used to
screen the compost to either one -
inch or three -eighth inch. The fin-
er screened compost (3/8") is sold
as "Gold Dust Compost", The
coarser material (1") is sold as
"Gold Dust Mulch." The "overs"
from the trommel screen are recy-
cled back to the front of the plant.
The City of Goldsboro has en-
rolled in the U.S. Composting
Council's Sea] of Testing Assur-
ance (STA) program, becoming
the fifth member in North Car-
olina. Samples of Gold Dust
Compost are sent to a STA labo-
ratory every 60 days for testing.
A July 2003 analysis showed an N-P-K val-
ue o(1.9-2.4-0.43 (dry weight basis), 57.8
percent organic matter, pH of 7.71, and sol-
uble salts of3.51 dS/rn. Gold Dust Compost
carries a guaranteed analysis of 1.5-2.0-
0.25. The product is also registered with
the North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture as a fertilizer. The city sells Gold
Dust Compost mainly to garden centers
and landscapers, and it is used in city
parks and at the city golf course. The com-
post product, made from two municipal
waste streams, is a perfect fit for the city's
goal ofenvironmental stewardship. ■

City of Goldsboro Compost Facility
Process Control/ Quality Control
The City of Goldsboro has operated a state-of-the-art computerized Compost
Facility since 2003. In manufacturing its compost, the facility exceeds the
minimum requirements of the EPA Part 503 Biosolids Rules. These rules
require that the compost reach at least 55° C for a minimum of 3 days for
pathogen reduction. Also for 14 days or longer, the temperatures must be at
least 40' C and an average temperature at least 45° C for vector attraction
reduction. In addition, the compost must be cured for at least 30 days for
stabilization. The City of Goldsboro's compost also meets the EPA designation
of Exceptional Quality compost which requires low toxic and metals levels.
Typically during the composting process the facility is able to achieve at least
55°C - 70°C for approximately 11 days and 45°C - 60°C for approximately 32
days. The cure period all of the compost is greater than 40 days. The ability for
this Compost Facility to be able to reach the higher temperatures than required
by EPA gives us greater confidence that pathogens have been destroyed in the
process.
Process Control & Quality Control:
1. Each day laboratory analysis is performed on each of the three
components of the compost mix, the biosolids cake, the recycled compost,
and the wood chips. The Dried Solids percentage is determined so that
the "recipe" for the compost mix for the day can be determined.
2. Each new mix is assigned a "Charge Number" so that it can be tracked
each day through the bays in the Compost Building. This is important so
because computers track temperatures in each Charge to verify
compliance with the EPA Part 503 Rules. Typically it will take a Charge
32 days to move through the bays in the Compost Building. The computer
will generate a printed report to document the temperatures throughout
the compost process.
3. The compost coming out of the end of the bays will be transported to the
Cure Building for at least a 40-day period. The front-end loader that is
used to transport the compost uses only a "clean" bucket to handle the
compost. Each week staff uses Clorox to disinfect this loader bucket to
make sure it stays clean.
4. After the compost is cured, it is then put through a trommei screen to size
the compost to a fine compost (< 3/8") and a mulch compost (< 3/4"').
After screening, the compost is called "finished compost".

5. Although the City is only required to test the finished compost every 60
days, the City has implemented a program to test the compost more
frequently so that each new batch of compost from a specific Cure Bay is
verified by a certified laboratory to meet pathogen bacteria requirements
before it is distributed.
