2. REGULAR OPERATING PROCEDURE.
2.1. Quantity of sludge taken from plant shall average 62,700 gallons
per day of digested sludge plus a quantity of sludge drying bed cake
over an average four (4) weeks period. This amounts to 79,250 gallons.
of digested sludge plus drying bed cake taken daily on a regular
Monday through Friday schedule.
2.2. Cities will deliver sludge to Tillo on a regular Monday through
Friday schedule except for holidays. On weekends and holidays'there will
'be' no sludge delivery without Tillo agreement to accep, t same.
2.3. · Cities will deliver to Tillo sludge material consisting of a
.
mixture'of centPifuge cake, sludge drying bed cake and un-dewatered
digJsted sludge. This mixture will contain a combined minimum'solids
content of 5% measured by weight.
2.4.' Operations on a normal weekday will adhere to the flow diagram
shown on Figure 1.
2.5. Operations on a weekend day will follow the flow diagram shown
on Figure 2.
3. V/tRIATiON TO NORMAL OPERATIONS.
3.1. If the sludge production at the plant increases significantly
(10% or more) the flow diagrams shown on Figures I and 2 shall be
modified and the Tillo operations may be required to function on a seven
day week schedule, and City may elect to negotiate with Til-lo for
additional payments therefor, submit same to arbitration in accordance
with paragr, aph "12" of the agreement or elect to have the sludge removed
by other methods. The increased sludge production will require extend-
ing the centrifuge dewatering from 55%. to 65% of the sludge production
to achieve the minimum 5% solids Content.
3.2. -If the centrifuge dewatering equipment is out of operation for
a reasonable period of time, Tillo may receive a sludge material With
less than normal solids content, and City shall deliver-increased
amounts~of sludge cake from the drying beds, if such material is avai~-
a~le. If 'the sludge material delivered to Tillo over a three (3).
month period is less than 5% in solid content, City, within the follow-
ing six (6) months, shall 'deliver to Tillo material of such solid
'content which when added to .the material of less· than 5% solid content
; ·
will result' in an average 5% sol id content
2.3. If Tillo desires to receive and handle a heavier 'sludge, i.e.,
a sludge with 8-10% solids content, and if this requires more'extensive
centrifuge dewater'ing operations, Tillo may request the Cities to
extend their dewatering' operations so that as · much as 75% of all slud§e
production goes through the centrifuge. The flow diagram for this· pro-
gram modification is shown in Figure 3 with.a five (5) day week Tillo
.
operation· If Tillo'req.uests this program modification, the terms of
payment detailed ~n Paragraph 4.2 of the Agreement shall be modified
and the payment to Tillo reduced by the increased cost of the addi-
tional dewatering operations. This extra cost ~s estimated to be
Six dollars ($6.00) per. one thousand (1,000) gallons of additional
sludge that is dewatered over and beyond the basic monthly total quan-
·
tity of 1,053,000 gallons (52,640 gpd x 20 days) calculated to produce
a sludge mixture with 5% solids content.
6~
· .. , 11 ..... !lit '" IIr
A typical example of this cost adjustment for dewatering is
presented to be:
65,800 x 20 = 1,316,000 Gals. for a 8%' solids sludge
52,640 x 20: 1,053,000 Gals. for a 5% solids sludge
263,000 Gals. - Extra Dewatering
263,000 Gals. x $6.00 t 1,O00 = $1,580 (cost adjustment)

The California Regional Water Quality Control 'Board, San Francisco Bay Regibn,'
finds ~qat: . ..
1. 'C~ties of South San Francisco ~nd San Bruno and Tillo Products
2~
.
Company, hereinafter called the discharger, submitted a report
of waste discharge dated June 21, 1978.
The Cities of South S~.' Francisdo and San BrUno-propOses %o discharge
approximately 30,000 gallons per day of digested sludge from their
· wastewater treatment facilities to new sludge drying beds to be
located on land' adjacent to and east of the treatmen~ facilities.
~he sludge drying beds will cover ~/)out 150,000 square feet and will
be lined with a Hypalon synthetic rubber sheetinu (membrane) which
will be covered by three feet of filter m~dla. Filtrate will be
drain~_d to a pumping station from which it will be returned t~ the
hea~.,orks of tlxe wastewater treatment facilities~ The dried sludge
will be trucked to the Ox Mountain landfill disposal site in San
l-~teo County or to the Tillo composting site in South San Fran¢isc'o.
o
ApProximately 30;000 addi~i~h~l"~all~ns'~er da3, of digested
generated at '~d]e South San Francisco and San Bruno'%.~tewater
treat~.ent facilities is proposed to be processed ~y the Tillo
Products Company at new processing facilities to be .located
land adjacent to and south of the treatment facilities. The
co~any mixes sludge with rice hulls and coffee grounds and
sells the product as a soil conditioner. The compostin~ facilities
will process approximately. 100 to 125 cubic yards of rice hulls
and 40 to 60 cubic .yards of coffee grounds, per day in addition to
~ne digested sludge. Digested sludge will be pumped frora the
treat'.me_hr facilities to the mixing basins. Whe' sludge
facilities %,ill consist of a prefabricated steel ~uilding enclosing
two unloading ramps; outdoor' mixing basins and' co.~ostin~ and -
'stockpiling areas, and a shop and an office. The site will cover
about 170,000 'square feet. ~ne compositing and stockpilin~ area~
%,ill be paved, sutton%haled by a 6 inch dike to control drain~.~e
from the piles, and surro~u~ded by an 8-foot chain link fence with
windscreen fabric to control winf~lown compost. All drainage from
the sludge composting facilities will. be pumped to ~]~e sludge ._
drying beds described in Paragraph 2 ab6ve ~nd will .ultimately
returned t~o the waste-.,ater treatment facilities.

REMOVAL DATED THE DAY OF , ]982.
The City of South San Francisco, being the lead agency for
Bayside Dischargers, San I~ateo Com~.ty, has prei)ared a final
environmental impact report for ~e proposed l.lorth Bayside
Systel,% Unit Solids Management Progr~u~. dated l-lay' 1975 in accordance
with the Californla Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources
Code Section 21000 et seq.) which includes ~]is project.
5~
The project as approved by the City of South San Francisco will have
t/]e following adverse effect on the environment:
a. ~-~nor addition to the present traffic levels on t_he haul
routes to Ox Mountain, atten¢~nt minor increases in
air pollutant and noise levels. .~.
~.inor geologic ha'zards due to construction on Bay fill.
·
Potential for indirect water quality impacts in th~ Ox Mo~-.ta~
.site; potential attractant to 'vectors; r~tential contribution
to odor problems at Ox Mountain.
Potential odor or vect6r problems assoJiat~d with the slUda~e
drying beds;
Compliance with the provisions of this order will mitigate
these adverse effects on the water guality -related environment.
