Design Manual for Onsite Wastewater Treatment and
Disposal Systems Featured at 1980 WPCF Conference
The Technology Transfer Design Manual for Onsite Wastewater Treatment and
Disposal Systems will be distributed at the 53rd Annual Conference and Exhibition of
the Water Pollution Control Federation (WPCF) in Las Vegas, Nevada, September 28 -
October 2, 1980.
Because of the recent population movements to rural areas and poor public
acceptance of onsite systems in the past, EPA has developed this new design manual
to provide technical guidance on the design, construction and maintenance of onsite
treatment systems The manual was written by personnel from SCS Engineers and
Rural Systems Engineering Contract supervision was provided by the EPA Office of
Water Program Operations and the Municipal Environmental Research Laboratory in
Cincinnati, Ohio. The manual was published in cooperation with the Center for
Environmental Research Information, Cincinnati, Ohio.
This manual covers guidelines for (1) design, including such topics as wastewater
characteristics, treatment and disposal methods, and strategy for onsite system
design, (2) construction, including a procedure for conducting a site evaluation; and
(3) management of onsite systems, including a discussion of theory and types of
management.
Several EPA organizations have pooled resources to form an EPA service and exhibit
center at this year's WPCF Conference. Specific areas of interest to be featured in EPA
exhibits are effluent guidelines, controlled and uncontrolled hazardous waste,
groundwater and underground injection, water quality management, construction
grants, and the research and development contribution to water pollution control.
Individuals will be available at each exhibit to discuss EPA policy and answer
questions We invite you to visit the EPA displays and pick up a copy of the Onsite
Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems Design Manual, at Booth No. 592. To
order this Manual, fill out the order form at the back of this Newsletter (#101 2) and

Sulfide Precipitation Summary
Report for Metal Finishing Industry
The Center for Environmental Research Informaton has
published a new Summary Report discussing sulfide
precipitation as a wastewater treatment technique for
electroplating and other metal finishing operations. The
report was developed by the Metals and Inorganic
Chemicals Branch, Industrial Environmental Research
Laboratory, Cincinnati, Ohio. It is the second in a series of
control and treatment technology alternatives for the-
electroplating industry. The first report discusses evapora-
tion as a technique for recovering plating chemicals from
wastewater.
The 1977 Clean Water Act requires that metal finishing
operations control the oxidation of cyanide, the reduction
of hexavalent chromium, the removal of heavy metals, and
pH. Sulfide precipitation is one of many methods available
for removing metals from metal finishing process waste-
water.
Metals are commonly removed by adding an alkali, such as
hydrated lime or caustic soda, to adjust the pH of the
wastewater to the point where metals exhibit minimum
solubilities and will therefore precipitate out as metal
hydroxides. In some metal finishing operations, th
hydroxide process may exhibit limited removal efficiencie
due to solubility characteristics of metals at different p
values and the presence of complexing ions. If this occur;
sulfide precipitation is an alternative to hydroxide precip
tation. The high reactivity of sulfides with heavy metal ion
and the insolubility of heavy metals to sulfides over a broa
pH range are attractive features as compared to hydroxid
precipitation. Sulfide precipitation can also achieve lo1
metal solubilities in the presence of complex ions
Sulfide precipitation can be either soluble or insoluble. I
the soluble sulfide precipitation (SSP) process, the sulfid
is added as a water-soluble reagent such as sodiui
sulfide. The insoluble sulfide precipitation (ISP) proces
adds a slightly soluble ferrous sulfide (FeS) slurry to th
wastewater to supply the sulfide ions needed to precipitat
the heavy metals.
This report describes the soluble and insoluble sulfid
process theory; presents plant evaluations, syste
descriptions, and performance, and discusses costs an
reliability for the treatment systems and components.

Addendum to Choosing the Optimum
Financial Strategies Publication
(Publication 3005)
Since the October 1978 printing of Choosing Optimum
Financial Strategies, two elements that can have a signi-
ficant bearing upon the choice of strategy for pollution
control investment have changed. Those two elements are
the Federal Tax Law, which has been modified, and
interest rates, which have sharply increased. An update to
the original publication has been prepared to describe
these changes and to present a number of examples from
the original publication that have been recalculated t<
illustrate their effect. Also revised are state financing ant
tax incentives and user charge/industrial cost recoven
systems.
Future distribution of the Optimum Financial Strategies
report will include a copy of the Update. To order a copy o

CERI Initiates New
Publication Series for Industry
A new series of reports Environmental Regulations and
Technology, is being instituted to inform those in specified
industries affected by environmental regulations, about
the latest developments in legislation and techniques for
compliance The first report for the electroplating industry
will be available in October 1980 Reports targeting other
industries will be produced after effluent guidelines are
promulgated
The electroplating report entitled, Environmental Regula-
tions and Technology: The Electroplating Industry
EPA-625/10-80-001, provides the electroplating mdustr
with a summary of the laws, regulatory activities, am
technologies that can affect electroplaters' decisions fo
wastewater pollution control and solid waste handling ani
disposal. The regulations recently promulgated by EPA ar<
presented and water pollution control technologies ar
discussed. The report also includes information on th
current status of sludge disposal regulations, technologic
and operating techniques that can reduce sludge dispose
costs, and financial assistance available through federall
sponsored programs.

ieminar for Corrosion
Control in Water Distribution Systems
seminar on Corrosion Control in Water Distribution
ystems, held at the EPA Environmental Research Center
Cincinnati, Ohio, May 20-22, 1980, was attended by 141
srsons, including visitors from Canada, England, West
ermany and the Netherlands The seminar, sponsored by
RD's Drinking Water Research Division of the Municipal
rwironmental Research Laboratory, was held to discuss.
le EPA proposal to regulate corrosivity in drinking water
mong the topics discussed at the meeting were costs
icurred by corrosion and health effects from substances
that may be found in drinking water because of corrosion,
regulatory programs to control corrosion, chemistry of
corrosion; and both water utility activities and EPA
research in support of corrosion control Most of the
speakers and audience agreed that even though corrosion
problems have existed for decades, much work still needs
to be done to understand and control corrosion in water
distribution and consumer plumbing systems The
diversity of water quality throughout the United States and
the many kinds of materials used m water distribution and
consumer plumbing systems make corrosion control an
exceedingly complex problem that defies a simple, univer-
sally applicable solution
i/ater Quality Management
'rade-Offs Seminar
. seminar on "Water Quality Managements Trade-Offs
omt Source vs Nonpomt Source Pollutant" was held
eptember 16-17, 1980, at the Pick Congress Hotel in
hicago, Illinois The Center for Environmental Research
iformation, in cooperation with the USEPA Region V
ireat Lakes National Program Office, sponsored the
emmar
The purpose of the seminar was to evaluate the effect of
point and nonpomt source pollution on receiving waters,
especially the Great Lakes In controlling these pollutants,
trade-offs can be made which will most economically meet
water quality goals. Water quality policy issues for the
Great Lakes were discussed, followed by presentations on
the various pollutant sources and their effects, load reduc-
tions through management practices, and a methodology
for integrating point and nonpomt source pollution
assessment
"reatability Manual Published
mce 1979, EPA's Office of Enforcement and Office of
\la\er and Waste Management, with requested help from
ie Office of Research and Development, have been
ompilmg wastewater treatment performance data into a
reatability Manual. The first complete edition of the
lanual, printed in five volumes, is now available for
sview at Region Offices and can be purchased from the
iovernment Printing Office. The Manual will be used in
eveloping NPDESpermit I imitations for facilities which, at
ie time of permit issuance, were not fully covered by
romulgated, industry-specific effluent guidelines

poration, and (11) MATHTECH, Inc
The objectives of the treatabihty project are
to provide readily accessible data and information
on treatability of industrial and municipal waste
streams for use by NPDES permit writers,
enforcement personnel, and by industrial or
municipal permit holders
to provide a basis for research planning by identi-
fying gaps in knowledge of the treatability of
certain pollutants and wastestreams, and
to set up a system allowing rapid response to
program office requirements for generation of
treatability data.
The primary output from this program is a five-volume
Treatability Manual. The individual volumes are named as
follows'
Volume I - Treatability Data
Volume II - Industrial Descriptions
-------
Volume III - Technologies for Control/Removal of
Pollutants
Volume IV - Cost Estimating
Volume V - Summary
Volume I supplies data on the specific compounds listed in
the Consolidated Permit Application Form 2C (NPDES)
published May 19,1980. It is intended to provide facsimile
reference to physical data on the pollutants, their
occurrence patterns, and methods of treatment and/or
removal. Pollutants are grouped according to the following
chemical categories:
Metals and Inorganics
Ethers
Phthalates
Nitrogen Compounds
Phenols
Aromatics
Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons
PCB's and Related Compounds
Halogenated Hydrocarbons
Pesticides
Oxygenated Compounds
Miscellaneous
Volume II provides generic process descriptions for the
industrial categories. The categories not currently included
will be added as sufficient information becomes available.
The objective of Volume II is to characterize the waste-
waters discharged from the above categories on a facility-
by-facility basis prior to pretreatment and after treatment.
The pollution control methods used with the treated final
effluent pollutant concentrations are also provided.
Each industrial category is defined according to the
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes of the U.S.
Department of Commerce and by the general industrial
description found in current contractor draft development
documents and published development documents on
each industry. The categories are generally divided into
subcategories which are described when sufficient data
are available The total number of facilities in each
category discharging an aqueous effluent either directly to
a receiving stream or indirectly to a publicly owned
treatment works (POTW) is given in an industrial summary
table.
Wastewater characteristics are provided for each
category/subcategory when sufficient information is
available. Subcategory wastewater characteristics are
broken into separate processes when sufficient data are
available. These descriptions include the complete pollu
tant analyses available in the references. These analyse
generally consist of conventional and classical pollutant!
the 129 toxic pollutants, and other miscellaneous pollu
tants found in the wastewater. The data presented shoul
be assumed screening quality unless specifically labele
verification quality
Plant-specific descriptions are also in this volume. Thes
descriptions generally include a treatment system descnp
tion, plant production, and wastewater flow. Conventiona
classical, and toxic pollutant concentration data, as well a
treatment system removal efficiency are presented in site
specific tables.
Volume III presents performance data and relate
technical information for 56 unit operations used i
industrial water pollution control. These operation
include 24 sludge treatment and disposal technologies an
32 generic wastewater treatment technologies classifie
as preliminary, primary, secondary, or tertiary treatment
Each wastewater or sludge treatment/disposal technolog
is briefly described, and generalized performance charac
tenstics are given for the preliminary wastewater treat
ment (conditioning) and sludge processing technologies
However, emphasis is placed on the pollutant remova
capabilities of the 28 primary, secondary, and tertiar
wastewater treatment technologies. Both concentratio
and removal efficiency data are given for the followm
group of pollutants.
(1) conventional pollutants such as biochemica
oxygen demand (BODs), total suspended solid
(TSS), pH, oil and grease, and fecal coliform.
(2) 129 toxic pollutants derived by EPA from the 6
"priority pollutants" listed in a Consent Agree
ment, Natural Resources Defense Council v
Train, 8 ERC 2120 (D.D.C 1976);
(3) compounds selected from the list of substance
designated by EPA as hazardous under authorit
of Section 311 of the Clean Water Act, based o
either a consensus of analytical methods o
promulgation under authority of Section 204(h
of the Clean Water Act; and
(4) other nonconventional pollutants of concern i
specific industrial wastewaters.
Volume IV presents total capital investment and annual
operating cost information for 78 wastewater treatment
technologies The 78 technologies are grouped into the
following classifications: wastewater conditioning,
primary wastewater treatment, secondary wastewater
treatment, tertiary wastewater treatment, sludge treat-
ment, and disposal A general overview of each technology
is followed by discussion of common modifications, typica
equipment, and a process flow diagram. A brief discussion
-------
of design criteria is also presented, along with any
assumptions used m developing costs for that technology
alone. The cost information for each technology is dis-
played in graphs showing cost in millions of dollars versus
wastewater flowrate or pollutant loading, as appropriate.
All costs are indexed to September 1 979, corresponding to
an Engineering News Record Index of 311 9, unless other-
wise noted. (Further discussion is found in Appendix A
Economic Assumptions.)
The data presented are generalized, rather than site-
specific, and estimates derived solely from it are valid only
for comparison purposes. Even these comparisons must be
performed with caution because of the possible differ-
ences in reliability of performance and cost information
from various sources
Cost data presented have been derived from EPA publica-
tions, open literature, construction grant files and from
equipment manufacturers' information. Accuracy of the
data appears to depend on the frequency of use of a
particular process For example, the costs associated with
activated sludge processes or sedimentation with
chemical addition appear more reliable than those for
reverse osmosis or other processes with few examples of
full-scale installation.
Volume V summarizes Volumes I through IV and outlines
their potential utility to National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit writers. The Treat-
ability Manual, when used in conjunction with other
information, will enable permit writers to:
evaluate the potential effectiveness and costs of
proposed effluent treatment systems.
determine the potential cost and feasibility of
compliance with discharge limitations under
consideration, and
develop wastewater pollution control and
monitoring requirements to be employed at
specific sites.

Workshop on Water Quality
Assessment Methodology
A four-day workshop was held at St. John's College,
Annapolis, Maryland, May 12-15, 1 980, on water quality
assessment methodology for streams, impoundments and
estuaries The workshop presented techniques that are
included in the manual, Water Quality Assessment: A
Screening Method for Nondesignated 208 Areas
(EPA- 600/9 -77 -023)
The screening methgd is a simplified technique that can be
accomplished with the assistance of a pocket calculator
The methodology is intended to be used with little external
data input. Consequently, abundant data are included as
tables, figures and appendices.
These techniques were applied to watersheds, streams
and estuaries in the Chesapeake Bay area and example
problems from that study were presented and worked out
by the participants. The workshop was attended by
engineers, scientists and planners from federal, state and
local governmental units and from consulting engineering
firms.

EPA Active I/A Program
The Clean Water Act of 1977 and the regulations which
implement it encourage the use of innovative and alterna-
tive (I/A) technologies as solutions to municipal
wastewater and sludge management needs. Special
emphasis is given to technologies that conserve or recover
energy, reduce total costs, reclaim or reuse water, recycle
wastewater constituents, or eliminate surface discharges.
The current I/A technology program officialy began on
October 1, 1978, and re-oriented the EPA Construction
Grants Program to fund a greater number of these \/A
technologies. In addition to requirements such as
mandatory consideration of I/A solutions in plannmc
future facilities, a number of positive incentives are
provided. These include increased federal constructior
grant assistance for I/A technologies and 100 percen
federal grants to correct or replace I/A technology failures
By fiscal year 1981, it is anticipated that one out of fou
-------
EPA grant projects will involve I/A technology to some
degree. However, many states are presently having
difficulty identifying a sufficient number of appropriate I/A
technology projects to fully utilize the funds specifically set
aside by Congress for this purpose.
In accordance with EPA Administrator Douglas Costle's
directive, the Agency has initiated an "active" I/A
technology program in order to encourage greater use of
I/A technologies and to generate more I/A projects. EPA
staff and organizations dedicated to the active I/A program
include Gary R. Lubin, MERL-Cincmnati (513/684-7630)
and Robert P G. Bowker, MERL-Cincinnati (513/684-
7620); Curtis Harlan, Robert S Kerr Environmental
Research Laboratory-Ada, Oklahoma (405/743-2212).
This new I/A program effort is a necessary addition to
actions which EPA has already undertaken, such as
establishment of state and regional I/A coordinators, (see
attached list), the development of an I/A Technology
Assessment Manual, the presentaton of special I/A
program seminars across the nation, and the formation of
an I/A technology clearinghouse and technical support
group to help disseminate information and to assist in
review of I/A project applications.
The active I/A technology program is a joint effort of the
EPA Construction Grants and Research and Development
Programs The overall thrust of this program is to.
Identify recently developed "emerging" I/A
technologies ready for implementation.
Identify and recommend project sites throughout
the country that can potentially benefit from
emerging technologies.
Assist local communities and their consulting
engineers with assessment and analysis of
emerging technologies that may be applicable to
their specific wastewater treatment control or
management problems.
Provide consulting engineers with detailed
planning and engineering assistance on a project-
by-project basis
Assist regional and state I/A coordinators in
developing active I/A projects by reviewing
priority project planning information and recom-
mending new technologies to be considered.
A special emphasis of the active I/A technology program is
to provide direct technical and administrative EPA assis-
tance to municipalities in the actual development of I/A
projects at the local level. The EPA is working closely with
local and state governments, public participation groups,
consultants, and equipment manufacturers in this new
effort. Since the successful development of I/A projects
depends on the attitudes of these groups, we try to work
individually, on a one-to-one basis, to promote
cooperation
Two examples of active I/A projects which show promise
are located in Montrose, Colorado, and Hanover, New
Hampshire. The EPA has been working with the city of
Montrose and the consulting firm of Roy F Weston and
VTR, Inc to investigate the application of a vertical tube
chemical reactor method of treatment to treat 3.23 mgd of
a raw municipal/industrial high strength waste. The
Montrose project reached another milestone on July 24,
1980 when a field test using a 1700 ft -deep test well was
conducted in order to verify a laboratory treatability model
Preliminary results from the facility plan indicate that this
unique application of deep well chemical oxidation signifi-
cantly exceeds the innovative technology cost and energy
qualifying criteria This technology also exhibits significant
potential for treating municipal sludge while generating
energy
In New Hampshire, the EPA has been working closely with
the city of Hanover, the state, and the consulting firms of
Hoyle and Tanner and J. I Associates in the proposed use
of an anaerobic expanded-bed fixed-film process to treat
2 mgd of domestic primary effluent Review of the process
indicates significant cost and energy savings over a
conventional alternative. In general, anaerobic systems
are receiving renewed attention as a cost and energy
efficient method of treating domestic wastewaters The
city of Hanover is pursuing a facility planning revision and
work on a design report for this process. In a departure
from a business as usual approach, the EPA will be one
member of a joint design review team and will provide
direct aid in the further development of this process as it is
undergoing full-scale design In the implementation of the
Montrose and Hanover projects, EPA will also be encour-
aging sole source procurement and patent exemptions in
accordance with recently issued policy directives in these
areas. Construction would be initiated under an extended
I/A program
Also, as part of the active I/A effort, a number of 40 to 60-
page emerging technology assessment reports are being
completed and distributed in order to disseminate informa-
tion on recent advances m the field of waste-water
treatment. In selected technologies, the emerging
technology assessment report describes the stage of
development including pilot, demonstration and full-scale;
state-of-the-art, cost and energy benefits, technology gaps
that must be filled, and present and potential impact on the
industry. Assessment reports which have been completed
or are near completion include overland flow, vertical tube
reactor, anaerobic upflow expanded bed, deep shaft
technologies, and solar applications in the treatment of
wastewater and sludge Additional assessment reports
will address anaerobic biological nutrient removal
processes, aquaculture, wetlands, dual sludge digestion,
solvent extraction, sequencing batch reactors, heat pump
energy recovery, energy conserving materials and design,
air-to-air heat exchange, and hydro and wind energy
generation

Future activities of the active I/A program include a series
of ten seminars on emerging technology to be held during
October, November, and December in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City,
Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle. The Water and Waste-
water Equipment Manufacturers Association is
sponsoring the seminars with EPA as a cooperating
agency.
A similar prototype emerging technology seminar was
recently held in Boston in cooperation with the Consulting
Engineers of New England. Due to the initial success of this
effort, the EPA hopes to continue to work with the
American Consulting Engineers Council in this and other
areas. A second round of ten I/A technology workshops is
being planned and will include energy analysis and I/A
case studies.
