INTRODUCTION
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:
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.
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.

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.
In addition to the primary equipment listed above, the City operates various ancillary
facilities and equipment at 26th Ward that include; a docking facility which can
accommodate each of the three (3) liquid sludge vessels used by the City to transport
liquid sludge from the “guest” WPCPs (without dewatering facilities) to the “host”
WPCPs (with dewatering facilities) and three (3) liquid sludge storage tanks.

Part 503 Annual Report 2008
Additionally, there are two force mains that are used to pump liquid sludge from Jamaica
and Coney Island to 26 Ward.
In addition to the primary equipment listed above, the City operates various ancillary
facilities and equipment at Hunts Point that include; a docking facility which can
accommodate each of the three (3) liquid sludge vessels used by the City to transport
liquid sludge from the “guest” WPCPs (without dewatering facilities) to the “host”
WPCPs (with dewatering facilities) and three (3) liquid sludge storage tanks.
In addition to the primary equipment listed above, the City operates various ancillary
facilities and equipment at Oakwood Beach that include a force main that are used to
pump liquid sludge from Port Richmond to Oakwood Beach.
In addition to the primary equipment listed above the City operates various ancillary
facilities and equipment at Red Hook that include; a docking facility which can
accommodate each of the liquid sludge vessels used by the City to transport liquid
sludge from the “guest” WPCPs (without dewatering facilities) to the “host” WPCPs
(with dewatering facilities) and liquid sludge storage tanks.
In addition to the primary equipment listed above the City operates various ancillary
facilities and equipment at Tallman Island that include; a docking facility which can

In addition to the primary equipment listed above, the City operates various ancillary
facilities and equipment at Wards Island that include; a docking facility which can
accommodate each of the liquid sludge vessels used by the City to transport liquid sludge
from the “guest” WPCPs (without dewatering facilities) to the “host” WPCPs (with
dewatering facilities) and liquid sludge storage tanks.
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.
10
Part 503 Annual Report 2008
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.
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:

Part 503 Annual Report 2008
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.
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
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:
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.

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.

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).

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. Approximately 163.50 dry metric tons of Port
Richmond sludge was dewatered at the Hunts Point dewatering facility. Approximately
22.10 dry metric tons of Port Richmond sludge was dewatered at the Wards Island
dewatering facility. Table 3 of Appendix A contains the monthly dewatered sludge
allocation figures in dry metric tons for this reporting period.

The metals analyses results of dewatered sludge samples taken by the contractors EPIC 1
(contract 947ADM1), NYOFCO (contract 947ADM4), and WeCare Organics, LLC
(contract 1181-BIO) were entered into the database maintained by the DEP (the liquid
sludge analyses for Port Richmond is entered separately). Table 5 of Appendix B
summarizes the average monthly metals concentrations for the Port Richmond WPCP.
The monthly metals concentrations represent an arithmetic average of the results from the
analyses of all samples of Port Richmond dewatered sludge generated each month.
During this reporting period, Port Richmond 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) as listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 503.13(b)(1). Further, during twelve (12)
months in 2008 (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September,
October, November, December), Port Richmond 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).

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
