EMC Annual Report
On behalf of the entire Jeffersonville- EMC Team, I would like to present our May 1998 -
April 1999 Annual Report of the Jeffersonville Wastewater Treatment Facilities.
In the past year, our employees have enjoyed a high level of success and personal devel-
opment. Improving the knowledge base of our workforce is critical to EMC's ability to
stay abreast of the ever changing water quality criteria. This ongoing improvement in our
staff capabilities is essential to meet our goal to provide outstanding customer service.
Wastewater professionals will continuously be challenged to find new and better ways to
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the wastewater collection system and treat-
ment facility.
Let me assure you that the staff is dedicated and determined to put forth the effort needed
to improve operation in the future. EMC's focus will be to provide a higher level of
customer service.
This Annual Report illustrates the progress we have made to improve the facilities and our
service to the citizens of Jeffersonville. EMC appreciates the support shown by the City.
In return, we are totally committed to:
THE EMC PLEDGE
and Your Guarantee of
PERFORMANCE
QUALITY & COST
Sincerely,
ENVIRONl\1ENTAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

WASTEWATER TREATMENT & COLLECTION
EMC Annual Report
With the increased volume of wastewater, an increase in the strength of the wastewater
occurred as well. The higher strength sewage was a result of an increase in discharge
concentration from the industries that discharge to the City's sewer system and the
continued growth and development of residential and commercial properties. The opera-
tors worked diligently to ensure that these challenges had no impact on the quality of the
effluent discharged to the Ohio River.
The average daily effluent Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD)
concentration was 3.1 milligrams per liter (mg/L) per day. The effluent Total Sus-
pended Solids (TSS) average 5.6 mgIL per day. The annual average removal efficiency
was 97% for TSS and 98% for CBOD and 98% for NH3-N.
The following graph depicts the monthly effluent averages of CBOD and the TSS from
May 1998 through April 1999 .

WASTEWATER TREATMENT & COLLECTION
EMC Annual Report
Collection System
The Jeffersonville collection system continues to expand at a swift pace. We currently have
approximately 125 miles of sanitary sewer line, 25 miles of combined sewer line, 30 lift
stations, and 16 combined sewer overflows (CSO' s). The collection system is a vital part
of the City's infrastructure in providing safe and efficient transportation of wastewater to the
treatment facility. As the community continues to grow, we must always look at implement-
ing new technologies to insure excellent service is provided to the City's residents and
businesses. The majority of our efforts this past year focused on the removal of sump
pumps and roof down spouts from the collection system; compliance with the newly
enacted United States Environmental Protection Agency combined sewer overflow regula-
tions; upgrade of various pump stations; and compilation of records and reports to create
an accurate account of manholes, CSO's and line segments throughout the older sections of
the community. Some of the major accomplishments this past year were:
. We continue to improve and enhance the pre-
ventive maintenance program as related to the collection
system. Our goal is to clean an average of 15,000 linear
feet per month. This past year we averaged 16,310 lin-
ear feet per month or 195,725 linearfeetperyear(37.1
miles). The following graph depicts the linear feet cleaned
per month from May 1998 through April 1999, May 1997
through April 1998, May 1996 through April 1997 as
compared to May 1995 through April 1996 and May
1994 through April 1995.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT & COLLECTION
EMC Annual Report
. We continue to improve the efficiency of the 30 lift stations. Collection system
personnel have performed several upgrades to improve equipment efficiency and
reduce emergency callouts. Evaluations of the older lift stations have been
completed. These evaluations will help the City determine its short and long term
capital improvement needs.
. Collection system personnel have conducted sump pump inspections in the
Meadows Subdivision to insure no surface runoff or groundwater was being
directly discharged into the sanitary sewer system. Local and state plumbing
codes prohibit connecting roof downspouts, sump pumps or other sources of
surface runoff or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is
connected to the sanitary sewer system. illegal connections were located and
residents were notified of the need to comply with the disconnect notice.

Residuals Management
The Jeffersonville facility generated, and disposed of 937 metric tons of residual solids from
May 1998 through April 1999, 1,237 metric tons from May, 1997 through April, 1998,
1,223 metric tons from May 1996 through April 1997 ,1,189 metric tons from May 1995
through April 1996, and 972 metric tons from May 1994
through April 1995. The increase in solids for the 1997
contract year was due to an increase in industrial organic
loadings. The biosolids were disposed of at the Outer
Loop Recycling & Disposal Facility located in Louis-
ville, Kentucky.
EMC continues to look at alternative disposal methods
that may be more cost effective and environmentally
beneficial to the community. Some of the alternatives
being considered are land application, composting and!
or pasteurization. The following graph depicts the total
monthly biosolids removed from the facility.

Maintenance
Since EMC began operating Jeffersonville,
we have implemented a proactive preventive
maintenance program to ensure all work orders
are completed in a timely manner. By the use
of our computerized MP2 programs, we are
able to prioritize work tasks, track the work to
completion and develop a historical record of
the equipment. Preventive maintenance work
orders are generatd daily, weekly, monthly quarterly, etc. and assigned to the appropriate
personnel. Corrective or immediate maintenance work orders are given top priority.
Operators and maintenance personnel have done an excellent job and have been very
effective in completing work orders in a timely manner. There were 276 unscheduled
work orders completed for 1998-1999 as compared to 314 unscheduled work orders in
1997 -1998. Some of the more significant work orders are presented below.

FACILITY SAFETY & TRAINING
EMC Annual Report
The safety of our employees is EMC's number one priority. In 1998-
99 there were four reported injuries. All of the injuries were among the
collections system maintenance personnel. None of the injuries re-
sulted in lost time. The EMC safety program has been very successful
for the year with a 99% safety rating at the wastewater treatment
facility.
EMC provides an annual safety training schedule to the Indiana De-
partment of Environmental Managment (IDEM) for approval of
continuing education credits (CEU). We are proud that our facility
offers our employees the chance to receive 41 CEUs each year.
During 1998-99, EMC operators received training in several safety
areas, including confined space entry, first aid/cardiopulmonary resusci-
tation (CPR), lockout/tag out procedures, personal protection, hazard-
ous communications and electrical safety.
Operations personnel have also received specific technical training in
lab safety procedures, computers, process control and process opera-
tions theory.
All of these training sessions were conducted on-site by in-house staff
with the exception of First Aid/CPR, chlorine safety, sulfur dioxide
safety, and self contained breathing apparatuses (SCBA) safety. The
First Aid/CPR course was held at the
Clarksville Wastewater Treatment Facility
and was provided by Susan Tomasallo.
Chlorine and sulfur dioxide training was held
at the Jeffersonville Wastewater Treatment
Facility and was provided by PB&S Chemi-
cal. SCBA safety was held at the
Jeffersonville Wastewater Treatment Facility and was provided by Mac
Kirschner of the Jeffersonville Fire Department.. Several members of
the staffreceived additional training through off-site seminars, work-
shops, and short courses which included MP2 maintenance program
training, basic electrical troubleshooting techniques and process control
training. For the contract year of 1998-99, employees earned a total
of37continuingeducationcredilli.
The Jeffersonville Wastewater Treatment Facility
takes great pride in our record of no lost -time
accidents. In this year the total lost -time accident
free days passed the 1,638 consecutive day
mark.

Laboratory
The analytical laboratory provides qualitative and
quantitative data for the use in decision making and
determination of the extent of compliance of a permitted
industry with discharge standards. In wastewater
analyses, the laboratory data identify the character-
istics of the treatment plant influent and the final
effluent discharged to the Ohio River. Decisions on pro-
cess changes and plant modifications are made based
upon the results oflaboratory analyses.
Industrial Pretreatment
EMC Annual Report
The intent ofEMCs Industrial Pretreatment Program is to assure compliance with all
applicable environmental regulations and requirements. Also, the Pretreatment Program
helps prevent the introduction of pollutants that will interfere with or pass through the
treatment process. EMC monitors ten permitted industries in the Industrial Pretreatment
Program with one more under a draft permit. These industries are Alumnitec, Brinley-
Hardy, Industrial Wastewater Recycling, George Pfau, Voss Clark, Louisville Barrell, Dallas
Group, Wyandot, PQ Corporation and Edward Vogt Valve Company. These permitted
industries are monitored through sampling inspections and self-monitoring reports.
Enforcement actions were taken against several industries. The PQ Corporation and
Wyandot were in Significant Noncompliance in 1998. These two industries failed to per-
form and report the required annual tests for metals. Both industries were to perform these
tests in January 1999 to satisfy the terms of their permits. Several Notices of Violation
(NO V' s) were issued. Most of the N OV' s consisted of Oil and Grease violations. The
remaining violations were for minor noncompliance. No industries were put on compliance
schedules.
We continue to work with all of the industries to insure compliance with the Industrial
Pretreatment Program and assist with their commitments to improve their own pollution
prevention programs.
