INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW

The City of New York, under the direction of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), owns and operates fourteen Water Pollution Control Plants (WPCPs) and eight sludge dewatering facilities located throughout the five boroughs of New York City. These dewatering facilities are equipped with solid bowl type centrifuges that remove a portion of the water from the liquid sludge to reduce its volume, thereby facilitating a more efficient and cost effective land-based Sludge Management Program. Dewatered sludge is a nutrient rich, semi-solid material that is generated during the wastewater treatment process and can be beneficially applied to the land as a soil conditioner and fertilizing agent.

DEP contracts out the removal of biosolids. All contractors are allocated biosolids to further process biosolids regardless if it meets PSRP or not. All biosolids were forwarded to EPIC 1 (contract 947ADM1) (see processing details below), EPIC 2 (contract 1131-BIO) (see processing details below) (contract completion date May 31, 2008), Tully Environmental (contract 947ADM3) (see processing details below), WeCare Organics, LLC (contract 1181-BIO) (see processing details below), NYOFCO (contract 947ADM4) which further treats biosolids to the PFRP (Process to Further Reduce Pathogens) (see processing details below), and Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners (contract 1141) (see processing details below).

The six active service contracts under the Sludge Management Plan during this reporting period (January 1, 2008 - December 1, 2008) include the following:

1. Application of dewatered sludge (lime stabilized) to farmland in Lamar,

Colorado or farmland on Patton Island, Lauderdale County in Florence, Alabama by the Environmental Protection & Improvement Company (EPIC 1, contract 947ADM1) which is a Synagro Technologies Inc. company (a Carlyle Group Company). Synagro Technologies Inc. uses a proprietary alkaline stabilization process called Bio*Fix. This process uses quicklime (CaO) to treat biosolids prior to beneficial use. The Bio*Fix Class B process is characterized by an increase in pH and temperature that meets environmental standards established by the U.S. EPA 40 CFR Part 503 Regulations and state, local requirements associated with the end product use. The process effectively controls odors, inactivates pathogenic microorganisms and prevents vector

2

attraction.

The Class B Bio*Fix process achieves pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements by elevating the pH to at least 12 and maintaining pH > for two (2) hours and holding pH >11.5 for 22 or more hours.

2. Application of dewatered sludge (lime stabilized) to farmland in Lamar, Colorado or application of dewatered sludge (lime stabilized) to farmland on Patton Island, Lauderdale County in Florence, Alabama by the Environmental Protection & Improvement Company (EPIC 2, contract 1131-BIO) which is a Synagro Technology Inc. company.

Synagro uses a proprietary alkaline stabilization process called Bio*Fix. This process uses quicklime (CaO) to treat biosolids prior to beneficial use. The Bio*Fix Class B process is characterized by an increase in pH and temperature that meets environmental standards established by the U.S. EPA 40 CFR Part 503 Regulations and state, local requirements associated with the end product use. The process effectively controls odors, inactivates pathogenic microorganisms and prevents vector attraction.

The Class B Bio*Fix process achieves pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements by elevating the pH to at least 12 and maintaining pH > for two (2) hours and holding pH >11.5 for 22 or more hours.

3. The New York Organic Fertilizer Company (NYOFCO, contract

947ADM4) transports the City’s dewatered sludge in dump trailers to the NYOFCO (contract 947ADM4) thermal drying facility located in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx. The dump trailers deposit the material into storage hoppers where the material is conveyed to pin mixers via “shaftless screw” type conveyors. In the pin mixers, the dewatered sludge is mixed with pre-thermally dried or “pelletized” sludge allowing optimum solids content and material texture to be achieved before entering the direct-thermal dryers. After thermal drying, the sludge pellets are transferred via a pneumatic conveyance system to several large storage silos, from which the material is loaded directly into rail cars for marketing and distribution. The pellets were applied in Florida on feed crops for cattle, pine trees, citrus groves as well as fertilizer blender. The pellets were applied in Georgia on pine trees and in New York State as fertilizer. Pellets have been applied in New Jersey on feed crops such as corn as well as on sod.

NYOFCO (contract 947ADM4) also has shipped 319.26 dry metric tons of pellets to Oman, UA, Via US Amerigo, Inc. for use on vegetable crops such as beans, squash and cucumbers as well as desert reclamation and landscaping. The pellets enrich the desert sand. NYOFCO (contract 947ADM4) shipped pellets to the Lehigh Cement Company in Pennsylvania. It was utilized as an alternative fuel source to coal. At the end of the study and demonstration project, NYOFCO conducted an air quality study. The results of the study indicated that burning biosolids as a fuel source had no negative impact on the air quality. A total of 5,432.22 dry metric tons of pellets was shipped to the Cement factory until October 27, 2008. The pelletized sludge produced at the NYOFCO facility consistently met the following “Exceptional Quality Sludge” criteria; therefore, only limited monitoring and tracking of the material was required:

The Pollutant Concentration Limits for those metals listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 503.13(b)(1)

One of the Class A Pathogen Reduction alternatives in 40 CFR Part 503.32(a) Sewage sludge, Class A

One of the Vector Attraction Reduction options in 40 CFR Part 503.33(b)(1) through (8)

Typically, the pellets are used in Florida for citrus and vegetable crops, in

Massachusetts for blending, Ohio for corn and soybean crops, Pennsylvania for land reclamation and New Jersey. NYOFCO (contract 947ADM4) is a Synagro Technologies Inc. company.

Throughout 2008, NYOFCO (contract 947ADM4) made significant upgrades to their process. For a detailed description of the upgrades, please review NYOFCO’s 2008 503 report.

4. Tully/JV (contract 947ADM3) has sub-contracted to WeCare Organics, LLC. to process NYCDEP biosolids at Kyler Blackwood and Kyler Stoltzfus facilities. These facilities use the alkaline stabilization (lime treatment- Class A certified) PFRP (Process to Further Reduce Pathogen) process for mine reclamation at the Bernice site in Sullivan County, PA

and the Pottersdale site in Stoltzfus, PA.

The Alkaline Stabilization process is similar to other methods involving mixing biosolids with alkaline materials such as lime. The process is a type of chemical stabilization, described by Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) as follows:

Chemical stabilization is a process in which chemicals are mixed with sludge to achieve a Class A level of treatment. Alkaline materials, such as lime or cement kiln dust, are added to dewatered biosolids. The chemicals react with the biosolids and generate heat and increase the pH of the biosolids. The combination of heat and high pH serves to eliminate viable pathogenic organisms. Due to the lime addition, the resultant product is used primarily as a lime substitute in agriculture. These facilities are relatively simple, consisting of storage facilities, mixing equipment, and an area where the material is allowed to cure.

(The Alkaline Stabilization process is a PA DEP approved Class A biosolids processing cited in 25 Pa. Code § 271.932 (a) (4) or (6).)

The Alkaline Stabilization method to be applied at the WeCare Organics LLC. biosolids Processing Facility has been approved specifically by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an Alternative 6 method to achieve Process to Further Reduce Pathogens (PFRP), producing Class A biosolids (see 40 CFR 503.32). This method is described by EPA (1999) as follows:

Fine alkaline materials (cement kiln dust, lime kiln dust, quicklime fines, pulverized lime, or hydrated lime) are uniformly mixed by mechanical or aeration mixing into liquid or dewatered sludge to raise the pH to > 12 for ≥ to 72 hours. If the resulting sludge is liquid, it is dewatered. The sludge cake is then heated, while the pH > 12, using exothermic reactions or other thermal processes to achieve temperatures ≥ 52oC (126oF) throughout the sludge for ≥ 12 hours. The stabilized sludge is then air dried (while pH > 12 for ≥ 3 days) to ≥ 50% solids.

In summary, at the WeCare Organics LLC. Biosolids Processing Facility, alkaline materials are added to biosolids to keep the pH above 12 for at least 72 hours. All sludge received is dewatered, such that no dewatering will be required at the facility. During the 72 hour period, the temperature of the mixture must be at least 52oC for at least 12 hours. (The exothermic

Page 9: NYCDEP 2008 Annual 503 Report - Revised Version

Part 503 Annual Report 2008

5

reaction results from mixing the alkaline material with the biosolids. External heat sources are not required.) Admixture is added during processing to result in a final mixture with a total solids concentration of at least 50%.

As discussed above, the combination of high pH and elevated temperatures over sufficient time inactivates pathogens to below-detectable levels. However, the process is reported to permit survival of microflora, important for long-term odor control and soil fertility, and helps prevent odor production after product pH values decline.

Alkaline Stabilization processing to meet PFRP requirements as detailed above simultaneously meets EPA Vector Attraction Reduction (VAR) requirements under Option 6, Addition of Alkali, in 40 CFR 503.33, which states:

The pH of sewage sludge shall be raised to 12 or higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of more alkali, shall remain at 12 or higher for two hours and then at 11.5 or higher for an additional 22 hours.

5. The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners (PVSC, contract 1141) is

a 330 MGD (million gallons a day) wastewater treatment plant located in Newark, New Jersey. An Inter-Governmental Agreement was extended until 2008. NYC DEP liquid sludge is mixed with liquid sludge from other municipalities at PVSC. The dewatered sludge is used for alternate daily landfill cover for the NJ Meadowlands Commission, Lyndhurst, NJ (NJMC) and EnCap Golf Holdings, LLC, East Rutherford, NJ (as of May 7, 2008 NYC biosolids are no longer being sent to this location). Due to the closure of EnCap Golf Holdings, LLC, PVSC sent material to the Amelia County Lanfill in Virginia for post closure landfill cover which is deemed beneficial reuse. All NYC liquid sludge received by PVSC is dewatered and then sent to the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (NJMC). NJMC is a regional zoning, planning and regulatory agency established by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature in 1969. Its founding mandates are to protect the delicate balance of nature, provide for orderly development, and manage solid waste activities in the New Jersey Meadowlands District.

6. Composting dewatered sludge at the Natural Soils Products composting

facility in Good Springs, Pennsylvania (WeCare Organics, LLC, contract 1181-BIO). This facility is owned by Tully Environmental who

is a. sub-contractor to WeCare Organics, LLC. WeCare Organics, LLC, began operating on December 17, 2007. The compost utilization sites are construction projects. WeCare Organics, LLC sells compost to many contractors who use the product as a soil amendment for athletic field construction, golf courses and parks. It is also sold to topsoil manufacturers who sell topsoil and need compost to increase the organic matter in the soil.

III. DEWATERING FACILITY ALLOCATIONS

Table 3 of Appendix A contains the monthly liquid sludge production (and allocations) figures in dry metric tons for this reporting period (January 1, 2008 – December 31, 2008)

The dewatered sludge production figures in Table 4 for (Bowery Bay, Hunts Point, Jamaica, Tallman Island, Wards Island, Red Hook and Oakwood Beach dewatering facilities) were determined from the weight receipts generated at the sludge dewatering facilities for each load of dewatered sludge removed by the contractors. Total solids in the dewatered sludge is measured daily at each dewatering facility from grab samples of the material.

Page 15: NYCDEP 2008 Annual 503 Report - Revised Version

Part 503 Annual Report 2008

11

For the figures on Table 3, there may be a larger standard deviation of the liquid sludge production in dry metric tons (compare to the figures in Table 4) during to the conversion process. The production rates of liquid sludge are very large figures; when multiplied by the total solid percentage to convert to the dry metric ton, the result may have a large difference. Therefore, the figures in Table 4 are more realistic and more accurate.

IV. METALS INFORMATION The concentration of each of the nine (9) metals listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 503.13(b)(1) was measured in all dewatered sludge generated at 26th Ward, Bowery Bay, Hunts Point, Tallman Island, Red Hook, Jamaica and Wards Island. The DEP maintains an extensive database that contains metals data from the analyses performed at the ELAP certified DEP metals laboratories and the outside contract laboratories utilized by the contractors. Tables 1 and 1A contain the analytical methods utilized by DEP and the contractors respectively, for determining the concentrations of the metals in dewatered sludge. The following protocol is employed by DEP for samples of dewatered sludge taken for metals analyses:

A grab sample of dewatered sludge is taken from the conveyor belts that transport the material from the centrifuges to the dewatered sludge storage hoppers, placed in a clean sampling container once per 8-hour shift and composited daily (3 grab samples per day). Although not regularly practiced, grab samples may also be taken from the sampling ports on the centrifuges, the dewatered sludge storage hoppers and/or while the material is being discharged into a contractor’s vehicle in the truck loading bays. Samples are labeled with the date, time and, where applicable, the train of centrifuges from which the sample was retrieved.

Each daily composite taken during the monitoring period (one month) is then refrigerated

at 39°F (4°C) and, at the end of the monitoring period, is composited into a single sample that is analyzed monthly at one of the DEP metals laboratories.

At the 26th Ward, Hunts Point, Wards Island and Oakwood Beach sludge dewatering facilities, liquid sludge from a “host” and one or more “guest” WPCPs is dewatered. At a “host” facility, the dewatered sludge may be of various origins warranting slightly different sampling conventions as provided below:

a. Liquid sludge from two or more WPCPs is mixed in the liquid sludge storage tank at the host WPCP. When this occurs, the liquid sludge mixture is dewatered and grab samples of that dewatered sludge “mixture” are taken for the daily composite. Numerous combinations of liquid sludge with varying origins may pass through a liquid sludge storage tank in any one monitoring

Page 16: NYCDEP 2008 Annual 503 Report - Revised Version

Part 503 Annual Report 2008

12

period. The metals analyses results of the sample for that monitoring period, contains the origin of each sludge comprising the sample and is reported with that information.

b. Dewatered sludge from two or more WPCPs are deposited into a

common dewatered sludge storage hopper from which grab samples are taken. When this occurs, the metals analyses results of the composite sample for that monitoring period contains the origin of each sludge comprising the sample and is reported with that information.

c. Liquid sludge from each “host” and “guest” WPCP may be stored

in separate liquid sludge storage tanks, dewatered by separate trains of centrifuges and stored in separate storage hoppers. When this occurs, separate grab samples of dewatered sludge from each, the “host” and “guest” WPCP are taken, analyzed separately and reported as two distinct sludge. Whenever possible DEP has made its best effort to keep sludge of different origins separated.

V. PATHOGEN INFORMATION

To satisfy Class B Pathogen Reduction requirements for sewage sludge generated at the treatment plants, liquid sludge was anaerobically digested at a minimum temperature of 95°F (35°C) for a minimum 15-day mean cell residence time, which, by definition, qualified the anaerobic digestion process used at this plant as a Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens (PSRP) in accordance with 40 CFR Part 503.32(b) Sewage sludge - Class B, Alternative (3).

Typically, NYCDEP operates its digesters at elevations slightly below the full capacity of each digester. Therefore, the total digester volume reported on the PSRP sheets listed in Appendix C may be equal to or slightly below the total digester volume as specified in the above equipment list. The temperature of digested sludge and the digested sludge production were measured using temperature gauges. Thickened sludge produced is estimated using tachometers and an empirical factor to determine sludge volume. Readings of each are taken once per day. From the treatment sheets the process engineer reviews the information which is recorded daily on a monthly “PSRP sheet”. The monthly PSRP sheets contain the following information:

1. Reported daily

1. sludge production (cubic feet) 2. digester temperature (°F) 3. percent volatile solids reduction (%) 4. digester detention time (days) 5. percent solids thickened sludge (%) 6. percent volatile solids thickened sludge (%) 7. total digester volume (cubic feet)

2. Reported as a 15-day running average

8. sludge production (cubic feet) 9. digester detention time (days) 10. percent volatile solids reduction (%) 11. digester temperature (°F) 12. was PSRP met?

3. Reported as a monthly average

13. sludge production (cubic feet)

Part 503 Annual Report 2008

14. digester detention time (days) 15. percent volatile solids reduction (%) 16. digester temperature (°F) 17. was PSRP met?

VI. VECTOR ATTRACTION REDUCTION

To satisfy Vector Attraction Reduction requirements for sewage sludge generated at all the wastewater treatment plants, the mass of volatile solids was reduced to a minimum of thirty-eight percent (38%) using anaerobic digestion in accordance with 40 CFR Part 503.33 Vector attraction reduction (b) (1). Determining the level of volatile solids reduction in the sewage sludge required that samples of the material be taken and analyzed. The following protocol is employed by DEP for samples of liquid sludge taken for measuring volatile solids reduction:

1. A grab sample of each, thickened sludge (entering digesters) and digested

sludge (exiting digesters) is taken daily and placed into a clean sampling container and refrigerated at 39°F (4°C). At the time of sampling, the sample date, sample time, sample number and sampling location are recorded.

2. Samples are transported to various DEP process laboratories where they

are analyzed daily for total percent solids and volatile percent solids. The results are subsequently used in the “Mass Balance Method” to calculate the volatile solids reduction.

Percent volatile solids reduction figures were recorded daily on the “treatment sheets”. From the treatment sheets the process engineers review the information that is recorded daily on the monthly “PSRP” sheet.

NYCDEP uses a 15-day running average of volatile solids reduction in the digested sludge to determine whether or not vector attraction reduction requirements have been satisfied. The 15-day running average yields an accurate portrayal of digester performance trends and affords DEP ample time to schedule dewatered sludge distribution with the contractors.

I. JAMAICA DEWATERED SLUDGE QUANTITIES

A. DEWATERING FACILITY ALLOCATIONS

For the reporting period of January 1 through December 31, 2008 all anaerobically digested, thickened sewage sludge generated at Jamaica was dewatered at the Jamaica sludge dewatering facility or the 26th Ward dewatering facility. Approximately 9,024.31 dry metric tons of Jamaica dewatered sludge was generated during this time period. Approximately 6,138.81 dry metric tons of Jamaica dewatered sludge was dewatered at the 26th Ward dewatering facility. Approximately 2,885.50 dry metric tons of Jamaica dewatered sludge was dewatered at the Jamaica dewatering facility. Table 3 of Appendix A contains the monthly dewatered sludge allocation figures in dry metric tons for this reporting period. The dewatered sludge production figures in Table 4 were determined from the dewatered sludge allocation measured at each dewatering facility.

II. JAMAICA DEWATERED SLUDGE QUALITY

A. METALS ANALYSES

The metals analyses results of dewatered sludge samples taken by the contractor, Tully Environmental (contract 947ADM3), EPIC 1(contract 947ADM1), and EPIC 2 (contract 1131-BIO) were also entered into the database maintained by the DEP. Table 5 of Appendix B summarizes the average monthly metals concentrations for the Jamaica WPCP. The monthly metals concentrations represent an arithmetic average of the results from the analyses of all samples of Jamaica dewatered sewage sludge generated each month. During this reporting period, Jamaica dewatered sludge contained concentrations of metals that met the Ceiling Concentration Limits for twelve (12) months (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December) as listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 503.13(b)(1). Further, during twelve(12) months (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December) in 2008, Jamaica dewatered sludge contained concentrations of metals that met the Pollutant Concentration Limits as listed in Table 3 of 40 CFR Part 503.13(b)(1).

A. METALS ANALYSES

The metals analyses results of dewatered sludge samples taken by the contractors, NYOFCO (contract 947ADM4), EPIC 1 (contract 947ADM1), EPIC 2 (contract 1131-BIO), and Tully Environmental (contract 947ADM3) were also entered into the database maintained by the DEP. Table 5 of Appendix B summarizes the average monthly metals concentrations for the Newtown Creek WPCP. The monthly metals concentrations represent an arithmetic average of the results from the analyses of all samples of Newtown Creek dewatered sewage sludge generated each month.

During this reporting period, Newtown Creek dewatered sludge contained concentrations of metals that met the Ceiling Concentration Limits for twelve (12) months (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December) as listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 503.13(b)(1). Further, during twelve (12) months (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December) in 2008, Newtown Creek dewatered sludge contained concentrations of metals that met the Pollutant Concentration as listed in Table 3 of 40 CFR Part 503.13 (b)(1).

I. OWLS HEAD DEWATERED SLUDGE QUANTITIES

A. DEWATERING FACILITY ALLOCATIONS

For the reporting period of January 1 through December 31, 2008, anaerobically digested, thickened sewage sludge generated at Owls Head was dewatered at the Wards Island and Hunts Point, dewatering facilities. Approximately 13,859 dry metric tons of Owls Head dewatered sludge was generated. Approximately 3,034.36 dry metric tons of Owls Head sludge was dewatered at the Hunts Point dewatering facility. Approximately 1,746.79 dry metric tons of Owls Head sludge was dewatered at the Wards Island dewatering facility. Approximately 606.30 dry metric tons of Owls Head sludge was dewatered at the 26th Ward dewatering facility. Approximately 8,471.55 dry metric tons of Owls Head liquid sludge was barged to Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners and then dewatered. Table 3 of Appendix A contains the monthly dewatered sludge allocation figures in dry metric tons for this reporting period.

II. OWLS HEAD DEWATERED SLUDGE QUALITY

B. METALS ANALYSES

The metals analyses results of dewatered sludge samples taken by the contractors, EPIC 1 (contract 947ADM1), EPIC 2 (contract 1131-BIO), Tully Environmental (contract 947ADM3), and NYOFCO (contract 947ADM4) were also entered into the database maintained by the DEP (the liquid sludge analyses for Owls Head is entered separately). Table 5 of Appendix B summarizes the average monthly metals concentrations for the Owls Head WPCP. The monthly metals concentrations represent an arithmetic average of the results from the analyses of all samples of Owls Head dewatered sewage sludge generated each month.

During this reporting period, Owls Head dewatered sludge contained concentrations of metals that met the Ceiling Concentration Limits for all twelve (12) months (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December) listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 503.13(b)(1). Further, during eleven (11) months (January, February, March, April, May, July, August, September, October, November, December) in 2008 Owls Head dewatered sludge contained concentrations of metals that met the Pollutant Concentration Limits as listed in Table 3 of 40 CFR Part 503.13(b)(1).

I. PORT RICHMOND DEWATERED SLUDGE QUANTITIES

A. DEWATERING FACILITY ALLOCATIONS

The Port Richmond WPCP is not furnished with a sludge dewatering facility. Liquid sludge from Port Richmond is normally transported via a 12-inch diameter force main to the Oakwood Beach WPCP for sludge dewatering. Periodic mechanical problems as Oakwood Beach resulted in Port Richmond being dewatered at other dewatering facilities in 2008.

For the reporting period of January 1 through December 31, 2008 approximately 3,720.60 dry metric tons of Port Richmond dewatered sludge was generated. Approximately 3,535 dry metric tons of Port Richmond sludge was dewatered at the Oakwood Beach dewatering facility.

I. ROCKAWAY DEWATERED SLUDGE QUANTITIES

A. DEWATERING FACILITY ALLOCATIONS

The Rockaway WPCP is not furnished with a sludge dewatering facility. Liquid sludge from Rockaway is transported via liquid sludge vessels to the “host” WPCPs (with dewatering facilities), where the sludge is pumped into a storage tank for subsequent dewatering. A docking facility for the liquid sludge vessels and liquid sludge storage tanks are maintained for the liquid sludge, marine transportation operation. During this reporting period (January 1, 2008 - December 31, 2008), liquid sludge generated at Rockaway was sent to the 26th Ward sludge dewatering facility.

For the reporting period of January 1 through December 31, 2008 all anaerobically digested, thickened sewage sludge generated at Rockaway was dewatered at 26th Ward and Wards Island dewatering facilities. Approximately 952.20 dry metric tons of Rockaway dewatered sludge was generated. Approximately 952.20 dry metric tons of Rockaway dewatered sludge was processed at the 26th Ward dewatering facility. Table 3 of Appendix A contains the monthly dewatered sludge allocation figures in dry metric tons for this reporting period.

II. ROCKAWAY DEWATERED SLUDGE QUALITY

A. METALS ANALYSES

The metals analyses results of dewatered sludge samples taken by the contractors EPIC 1 (contract 947ADM1), Tully Environmental (contract 947 ADM3), and EPIC 2 (contract 1131-BIO) were entered into the database maintained by the DEP. Table 5 of Appendix B summarizes the average monthly metals concentrations for the Rockaway WPCP. The monthly metals concentrations represent an arithmetic average of the results from the analyses of all samples of Rockaway dewatered sewage sludge generated each month.

During this reporting period, Rockaway dewatered sludge contained concentrations of metals that met the Ceiling Concentration Limits for twelve (12) months (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December) as listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 503.13(b)(1). Further, during twelve (12) months (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December), Rockaway dewatered sludge contained concentrations of metals that met the Pollutant Concentration Limits as listed in Table 3 of 40 CFR Part 503.13(b)(1).
