Section Env-Wq 716.02 - Sludge Stabilization Design Requirements
(a) Sludge stabilization processes shall be designed to meet the requirements of Env-Wq 800 for pathogen and vector attraction reduction for Class A or Class B biosolids.
(b) Proprietary processes for which design criteria are primarily provided by equipment manufacturers to accommodate their equipment and design concepts shall be supported by a detailed basis of design which cites existing successfully-operating facilities with similar solids types and similar capacities with similar design criteria.
(c) Access for maintenance, repair, and inspection shall be provided for all stabilization process equipment and related tankage.
(d) Safety devices shall include:
(1) Automatic shutdown upon critical system component malfunction;
(2) Alarm systems for equipment failure; and
(3) Alarm systems for hazardous conditions.
(e) Redundancy of equipment and tankage or storage shall be provided so that the solids stabilization process will continue to be operable in the event of a failure of any single system component.
(f) Odor control technology and practices shall be provided to control odors generated from the solids handling processes to minimize the impact of odors outside the facility property boundaries.
(g) A written contingency plan that describes how solids processing and sludge removal will continue in the event of stabilization process equipment failure shall be submitted for all proposed stabilization processes.
