a. Determination of the Long Term Feasibility of Transporting Unstabilized North Olmsted Biosolids to the North Royalton Composting Facility and Composting the transported biosolids with Unstabilized North Royalton Biosolids Pilot Test Plan of Study Revision No. 1 By providing composting services to the City of North Olmsted, the City of North Royalton would be able to obtain a new source of revenue while more fully utilizing the capacity of its biosolids composting facility. Therefore, the City of North Royalton would be able to obtain funds needed to service the debt incurred for construction of the biosolids composting facility during the next five years. By obtaining composting services from the City of North Royalton, the City of North Olmsted would be able to reduce its annual wastewater treatment plant operating cost by achieving a lower total biosolids transportation and disposal cost. Therefore, the City of North Olmsted would be able to make more efficient use of the revenues generated by its existing sewer user rate during the next five years. The revised pilot testing work still envisions the originally implementation phase activities. The implementation phase activities would include, but may not be limited to, the following: 1. Preparation of a report to be jointly submitted by both municipalities to the Ohio EPA for review and concurrence; 2. Preparation of a formal amendment of the Ohio EPA- approved City of North Royalton Sludge Management Plan, if required; 3. Preparation of a formal amendment of the Ohio EPA - approved City of North Olmsted Sludge Management Plan, if required; 4. Negotiation of a biosolids composting services agreement between both municipalities; and 5. Approval of the negotiated biosolids composting services agreement by both city councils and directors of law. II. INTENT OF THE REVISION TO THE APRIL 13,2001 PLAN OF STUDY The April 13, 2001 Plan of Study was designed to generate the following data and information: 1. Determine the optimum amount of unstabilized North Olmsted biosolids to be . transported to the North Royalton composting facility per haul and per day; 2. Determine the optimum solids concentration of unstabilized North Olmsted biosolids transported to the North Royalton composting facility; 3. Determine the most efficient operational strategy of the North Royalton composting facility based on the optimum amount of unstabilized North Olmsted biosolids transported per haul and per day; CompostPOS- Revl.doc Page 2 of 6 Scptembcr 6.2001
