Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ) and the Utah Div ision of Water Quality (DWQ) received authorization from EPA to administer the Federal biosolids
program (40 CFR part 503) on October 16, 1996. The Federal biosolids program regulations require certain publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and Class I sewage
sludge management f acilities to submit a Sewage Sludge (Biosolids) Annual Report (see 40 CFR 503.18, 503.28, 503.48). Facilities that must submit a Sewage Sludge
(Biosolids) Annual Report include POTWs with a design flow rate equal to or greater than one million gallons per day, POTWs that serve 10,000 people or more, Class I
Sludge Management Facilities (as defined by 40 CFR 503.9), and facilities otherwise required to file this report (e.g., permit condition, enforcement action, state law). This is
the electronic f orm for Utah Sewage Sludge (Biosolids) Annual Report filers to use.
For the purposes of this form, the term 'sewage sludge' also refers to the material that is commonly ref erred to as 'biosolids'.
Public Availability of Submitted Information
UDEQ/DWQ may make all the inf ormation submitted through this form (including all attachments) available to the public without f urther notice to y ou. Do not use this online
form to submit confidential business inf ormation (CBI) or if you intend to assert a CBI claim on any of the submitted information. Pursuant to 40 CFR 2.203(a),
UDEQ/DWQ is providing you with notice that all CBI claims must be asserted at the time of submission. The State of Utah cannot accommodate a late CBI claim to cover
prev iously submitted information because efforts to protect the information are not administratively practicable since it may already be disclosed to the public. Although we
do not foresee a need f or persons to assert a claim of CBI based on the types of information requested in this form, if persons wish to assert a CBI claim we direct
submitters to contact the UDEQ/DWQ Permitting Program (801-536-4300) for f urther guidance.
Please note that UDEQ/DWQ may contact you af ter y ou submit this report for more information regarding your biosolids management program.
This collection of information is approv ed by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. (OMB Control No. 2040-0004). Responses to this collection
of inf ormation are mandatory in accordance with EPA regulations (40 CFR 503.18, 503.28, and 503.48). An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently v alid OMB control number. The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of
inf ormation are estimated to average 3 hours per response. Send comments on the Agency’s need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates and
any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden including through the use of automated collection techniques to the Director, Regulatory Support Division, U.S.

Monitoring Data
Compliance Monitoring Periods
INSTRUCTIONS: Pollutants, pathogen densities, and v ector attraction reduction must be monitored when sewage sludge or biosolids are applied to the
land. Please use the following section to report monitoring data for the land application conducted by you or y our f acility in the reporting period for this
SSUID. These monitoring data should be representative of the sewage sludge or biosolids that was applied to land during the compliance monitoring
period for this SSUID (40 CFR 503.8(a) (http://www.ecf r.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?node=pt40.32.503&rgn=div5#se40.32.503_18)). All pollutant monitoring data
should be reported in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), dry weight basis. EPA will be using these data to demonstrate compliance with EPA's land
application requirements (40 CFR 503, Subpart B).
INSTRUCTIONS: Please use the table below to identif y the start date and end date for each compliance monitoring period. The number of compliance
monitoring periods reported will correspond to the required f requency of monitoring (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually). For example, if
monthly monitoring is required, you should report 12 compliance monitoring periods. The required f requency is determined by the number of metric tons
(dry weight basis) of sewage sludge or biosolids land applied in the reporting period for this SSUID (40 CFR 503.16 (http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?

Do you have analytical results to report for this monitoring period?  YES  NO
Are you reporting maximum pollutant concentrations that are equivalent to the monthly average pollutant concentrations for this compliance
monitoring event? [For example, this will be the case if you only collected and analyzed one sample of sewage sludge or biosolids for this
compliance monitoring period.]

sewage sludge in a bag or other container when one or more sewage sludge pollutant concentrations in the sewage sludge exceed a land application
ceiling pollutant limit (Table 1 of 40 CFR 503.13 (http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?node=pt40.32.503&rgn=div5#se40.32.503_113)). EPA will compare
the pollutant concentrations in this section against the ceiling concentration limits in Table 1 of 40 CFR 503.13 (http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?
node=pt40.32.503&rgn=div5#se40.32.503_113) to identif y noncompliance events. All pollutant monitoring data should be reported in milligrams per

Price River Water Improvement District Wastewater Treatment Plant

Bio-solids Annual Report Narrative

2020

Bio-solids Production

The Bio-solids was produced in 2019, dried in 2020 and land applied in 2020. During 2020, the
total calculated bio-solids produced were 234 dry metric tons (DMT)
of Class B bio-solids. These solids were removed from the West Facultative Sludge
Basin (FSB) with a dump truck. The property is owned by Price River Water Improvement District.
The farmer incorporated the bio-solids into the soil to grow corn and other feed crops. The
transportation was accomplished from August 31, 2020 through September 4, 2020 so tillage could
be accomplished before snowfall or heavy frost.

Bio-solids Disposal Practice and Site Restriction

The District has numerous landowner/farmers who would like to have bio-solids applied
to their fields. The District is conscientious to ensure that the application site will be
sprinkle irrigated, fenced, level, incorporated quickly, and that the planned crop for the
coming years will not be a root-crop, nor will be fed to dairy animals. Additionally, the
area has no grazing of livestock. The area for 2020 is a first-time application of approximately 5.5
acres of the 40 available to us. The rate of application allowed for approximately 42.6 dry metric
tons per acre, or 14.8 truckloads per acre, as only about 15 percent of the area was utilized. As
this site is a one-time application, no soils monitoring was required.
The site is located at GPS coordinates: 39°53'64.8"N 110°72'13.6"W.

Bio-solids Treatment Practice

The Price River Water Improvement District employs a two-stage digestion process
that first treats the solids for between 40 – 60 days through anaerobic digestion in a
mesophilic temperature range maintained as closely as possible to 36 degrees Celsius
with brief and minor fluctuations above or below by one or two degrees. Then, the
solids are pumped to a Facultative Sludge Basin (FSB) to accommodate a Process to
Further Reduce Pathogens. Solids are held under 15 feet of water and allowed over
the next several months to continue to biodegrade. A surface aerator is installed on the
FSB to ensure the top two feet of water remains aerobic, thus promoting the growth
of facultative micro-organisms and controlling the formation of odor creating bacteria.

Certification Statement

“I certify, under penalty of law, that the heavy metals requirements in Part II.B.1, the
pathogen requirements in Part II.B.2, the vector attraction requirements in Part II.B.3,
and the management practices in Part II.C. This determination has been made under
my direction and supervision in accordance with the system designed to assure that
qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information used to determine
that the pathogen requirements, the vector attraction requirements, and the management
practices have been met. I am aware that there are significant penalties for false
certification including the possibility of imprisonment.”
