INTRODUCTION This is a Proposal to outline tasks in assisting the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Department of Wastewater Utilities Services, in developing a Biosolids Management Plan (BMP) to meet the needs of the community. This will begin with evaluating biosolids processing, handling, storage, and beneficial reuse options for biosolids byproducts as a soil amendment or for its fertilizer nutrient value for agricultural or horticultural reuse. We will be studying laboratory analyses and investigating options to determine how best to handle the generated biosolids for economical and beneficial reuse as an end product for agricultural andlor horticultural reuse. We will look at options for facilities, equipment, handling, storage, processing, percent total solids (%TS), production volumes, market outlet requirements, clients, beneficial reuse options, USEPA and MDNR regulatory compliance, record keeping, monitoring, reportin�;, and other economic variables from which to make future decisions in the development of an operational approach of the BMP. This BMP will be market driven to fit the needs of Cape Girardeau to meet the targeted purpose and objectives in the treatment and marketing of biosolids for the 21 St Century. II. Scope The plan involves Boone Consulting assisting Cape Girardeau in Phase I for evaluating processing, treatment, handling, storage, and beneficial reuse options addressing the following items in preparation for Phase II, Phase III, Phase IV, and Phase V: Page 14 of 22 • Process to Further Reduce Pathogens(PFRP) • High vs. low technologies for processing(facilities and/or eyuipment)to prepare for beneficial reuse markets for biosolids • Market options, location, volume,seasons,rates,horticulture,agriculture • Participants—Commercial,business,residents,farmers,etc. • Nutrient value: N-P-K,Ca, S,etc. • PFRP—for"stable biosolids" • Laboratory testing—develop a database • Treatment Processes • Regional biosolids inbound • Staging • Storage • Processing area(s)(facility) • Cost comparisons—capital/O& M cost various options • Byproducts development,mixing,processing,handling,equipment,operational options • Manpower • Equipment III. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING A. Introduction The starting point of this project is to gather data from different sources and study the factors sunounding the potential treatment,processing/handling,equipment, storage,drying,mixing, and beneficial reuse through one or all or a combination of the following: 1. Operations • Regional Center—liquid/cake • Odor concerns • Treatment/Processing Types • Capital cost • Operating cost • Plant location of add-on operations • Mechanical dewatering/drying/pelletizing/Composting • Storage • Equipment 2. Beneficial Reuse(s) • Market Distribution • Soil Conditioner -wholesale/retail • Community Sale/Give Away • Private Farmland LAP(fertilizer) • Combinations/Prioritize • City Farmland LAP(back-up) Page l 5 of 22 The byproduct generated could be utilized for its fertilizer nutrient value to agricultural or horticulture or as a soil amendment in either a sale or give-away program. This would provide Cape Girardeau with alternatives for a long- term beneficial reuse program as markets and demands change. This strategy of investigating different treatment processes and reuse methods that are not dependent upon each other may provide Cape Girardeau with several independent outlets to give flexibility to the beneficial reuse of byproduct(s) generated. This evaluation will help Cape Girardeau to understand and identify potential options available for biosolids treatment processing/handling/storage with multiple outlets for beneficial utilization. B. Management Approach There are many pieces of the puzzle that need to come together over the next year. All the pieces are extremely important to identify,but specific details should come at a later date when all the data has been evaluated.The main purpose is twofold: To identify biosolids treatment processing/handling/storage,operational alternatives, participants,regulations, Biosolids Management Plan(BMP),and Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan(CNMP)from which this project will operate. To identify the time frame and scope in which this project is to be developed. When the questions are researched,discussed and answered,and when the rules of the project are identified,and the time frame is developed,all the pieces of the puzzle will be identified. Putting the puzzle pieces together wi11 complete the picture. To accomplish this task, Boone Consulting proposes to develop the project in five(5)phases as follows: Phase I—Evaluation and Report Phase II—Planning and Management Options Phase II[- Program Set-up,Permitting,Specifications and Approved Plan) Phase IV-Construction,Implementation,Equipment,Training, Education Phase V—Ongoing Processing,Marketing,Management,Monitoring,Reporting C. Program Strategy—The Funnel Approach In a manner of speaking, the goal of the"funnel approach" in Phase I is to lay everything out on the table and look at all the potential options in developing a successful program. Through the process of elimination, the best alternatives Page 16 of 22 are discussed and chosen to be developed into an operational program for beneficial reuse: Page 17 of 22 Phase I- Evuluation & Renorr P/tase II—Planning c4c Management Specifications & Cost Analysis Options Phase III-Set Up & Pilot Program Construction, Purchases, Permits Phase IV—C uction, Equipment, Truining, Education Back-up Seconda Method Primary Method Phase V— Operations, Management, Marketing and Monitoring ITEMS: CONSIDERATIONS: • Biosolids(in-house/inbound) - Cost(CapitaVOperational) (%TS, Volume,Analysis, etc.) - Equipment • Market Outlet(s) - Facilities-Upgrade (Volume,access, location,back-up) - Time frame • Scheduling/Timing - Market Options (Type of use,season,fertility,etc.) - Limitations • Treatment Processing - Odor (Volumes, limitations,equipment,etc.) - Treatment • Transportation - Transportation(upbound/outbound) (Type of equipment,distance,roads,etc.) - Flexibility • Storage - Operational Plan (Type, size, location) - Regulations • So(ids Treatment Processing&Handling - Manpower (Space, location,time frame etc.) - Man hours • Capital Cost/O&M Cost - Farmers/Public/Private/Commercial (Management plan,equipment,operations,etc.) - Community Acceptance - Fertilizer Nutrient Value - Public/Education In this strategy, program development rests in the control of a cooperative effort between Cape Girardeau, Boone Consulting, and participants -- resulting in a demand for the end product(s). Ideally, this strategy is to formulate the best alternatives Page 18 of 22 without spending a lot of time and finances in Phase I and continuing to develop the best alternatives during Phase II. Phase II focuses on greater details in biosolids treatment handling/processing, storage, management plan, regulations, establishing participants, equipment, land base, application procedures, set-up, and getting a"green light"to proceed with the pilot projects and selected participants after cost analyses are done. Phase III—Engineering, design, permits,regulatory, start regional plan. Phase IV focuses on construction, facilities, equipment and set-up of handling/processing for an efficient and cost-effective market alternative program that is accepted to execute in a manner that creates a win-win situation for all parties involved. Phase V focuses on the implementation of the program developed that is workable, environmentally acceptable, and flexible, with primary and secondary methods of beneficial reuse. IV. EVALUATION TASKS A. Cape Girardeau Biosolids Look at the biosolids for utilization either as a fertilizer nutrient source or soil amendment: • Cake/dry/mix(ratios) • Volumes(daily,weekly,monthly,yearly) • Analyses(various options) • Metals • %TS(total solids)—cake-dried vs.mixed • Fertilizer value(N-P-K-S-Ca, Mg, Mn,Cu,Zn,organic matter) • Limitations • Value(beneficial reuse) • PAN(plant available nitrogen) • Handling • Odor Page 19 of 22 There would be approximately 4 days of professional consulting time and 1 day EPT needed in this area. B. Treatment Processing Options It is important to identify characteristics of Cape Girardeau solids generated for determining options and factors to be involved: • Moisture vs. Solids Content Requirements • Nutrient Content Requirement • Processing(cost analysis) • Mechanical PFRP • Options/technologies • Completely Stabilized Biosolids(no surprises) There would be approximately 4 days of professional consulting time and 1 day electronic publication time(EPT)needed in this area. C. Equipment Options Look at various types of equipment to be used and method of use: • Size—Dewatering • Inbound Solids • Sizing of Equipment • Processing Time • Cost There would be approximately 3 days of professional consulting time and '/2 day EPT needed in this area. D. Facility Upgrade • Drying/processing/mixing/storage—pad and building • Size • Design • Location • Material volumes • Procedure • Cost There would be approximately 3 days of professional consulting time and '/� day EPT needed in this area. E. Mixing—Blend Ratios—Final Product(s) • Compost/Carton/Biosolids/Sand • Registered Fertilizer • MDNR Exemption • Drying/Binder Agent—Pellet or Granule • Spreadability/Storability • Nutrient • Limiting factors Page 20 of 22 There would be approximately 3 days of professional consulting time and '/2 day EPT needed in this area. F. Market Outlets Look at market outlet options of final product(s)to horticulture or agriculture. • Equipment • Primary Market • Secondary Market • Guarantee Analysis N-P-K • MDNR Regulations • Scheduling • Volume/Quality Control There would be approximately 6 days of professional consulting time and'h day EPT needed in this area. G. Cape Girardeau • Discussion,decisions and updates • Regulations • Program development • Phone calls • Progress reports • Memos There would be approximately 3 days of professional consulting time and 2 days EPT needed in this area. H. Alternative Development and Analysis 7'he options carried forward from the screening process will be developed into comprehensive alternatives and analyzed during this task. Preliminary design criteria(in addition to those criteria determined in workshops)will be developed for the options selected in the screening process to form comprehensive(biosolids)management alternatives. The alternatives will then be compared based on economic criteria(nutrients,processing,operations,and handling costs) and qualitative criteria such as odor potential and marketability concerns. Based on the analyses,a recommended plan of the best alternatives will be selected for the processing plan and beneficial reuse program. There would be approximately 3 days of professional consulting time and 3 days EPT needed in this area. I. Report Report recommendation of findings,which will be developed from selected best alternatives and for development in Phase II. There would be approximately 5 days of professional consulting time and 5 days EPT needed in this area. V. PHASE I-A TASK SUMMARY Page 21 of 22 f The completion of Phase I-A(Evaluation and Report)will be for the duration not to exceed the month of June 201 1.
