3.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
3.1 General Information
The Marsh Creek WWTP began operating in 1972 as a 4.0 million gallons per day (MGD) secondary wastewater treatment plant. The facility is located at 45 Doran Avenue that replaced the Gulvin Park primary treatment system that has been operating since 1935. The Gulvin Park treatment system; located at 120 Middle Street, was modified into a pump station when the Marsh Creek WWTP was built, and then upgraded to assist in handling high flows during wet weather and tertiary treatment during normal flow. The Marsh Creek WWTP utilizes an activated sludge treatment process with tertiary treatment and is categorized as Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 4952. Marsh Creek WWTP employs nine (9) personnel and operates one (1) shift; 7:00AM to 3:30PM (Monday to Friday) and 7:00AM to 9:30/10:00PM (Saturday, Sunday, & Holidays).
The treatment plant serves the City of Geneva, portion of the Town of Geneva and the
Page 2 of 9

Inspection Dates: 6/10-11/21
Town of Waterloo. Wastewater is gravity feed and assisted by pump stations to the wastewater treatment plant. There are four (4) pump stations in the City of Geneva, one (1) in the Town of Geneva, and 1 in the Town of Waterloo. All pump stations are powered through the grid. In case of emergencies, 3 of the 4 pump stations in the City of Geneva are backed up by stand-by emergency generator. The fourth pump station in the City of Geneva is backed up by a portable generator. The Town of Geneva pump station is backed up by an emergency generator.
The Marsh Creek WWTP receives on average about 3.5 million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater. Majority of the incoming wastewater is from domestic and small businesses. The plant also receives pretreated process wastewater from Henkel Corporation - Geneva Site (formerly Zotos International) and Guardian Glass. In addition, the plant also accepts leachate from Ontario County Landfill and Septic waste from septic haulers.
3.2 Process Information
All waste streams within the City of Geneva Sewer Collection System converge and are screened at the Marsh Creek and Gulvin Park Pump Stations. Waste streams intercepted at the South Plant Pump Station is ground into fine particles before continuing to the Gulvin Park Pump Station. The incoming wastewater from the Marsh Creek and Gulvin Park Pump Stations is conveyed to the centrifugal grit removal system at the Marsh Creek WWTP. The overflow from the grit removal system is distributed between 2 circular primary settling tanks for phase separation. As heavy solids settled, the wastewater overflows the primary settling tank V-notch weirs and is conveyed to the anoxic zone of the step-aeration activated sludge process. Microbes in the anoxic zone convert ammonia (NH3) into nitrogen and water. From the anoxic zone, the wastewater continues to the aeration zone where air is introduced through fine bubble diffusers to generate a mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS). The MLSS in the aeration zone is conveyed to the secondary clarifiers where retention time is provided to allow the sludge to settle out. A portion of the settled sludge in the secondary clarifiers is pumped to the head of the step-aeration activated sludge process, before the anoxic zone, as return activated sludge (RAS) to continue the biological process. The effluent from the secondary settling tanks is chlorinated in the manhole that is piped to the Three (3) Stage Tertiary Treatment System at Gulvin Park Pump Station. Disinfection time is provided inside the pipe and continued in the 3-Stage Tertiary Treatment System. The polished effluent overflows the rectangular weirs into the aerated effluent chamber where sulfur dioxide (SO2) is added as a dechlorinating reagent. From the aerated effluent chamber, the treated effluent flows into the discharge channel where the discharge is monitored by a Parshall Flume with a flow sensor before diffusing into Seneca Lake via Outfall 001. During high water flows, the polished effluent is unable to discharge into Seneca Lake. As a result, the polished effluent is redirected to Marsh Creek via Outfall 002, which flows into Seneca Lake.

Inspection Dates: 6/10-11/21
A portion of the settled sludge in the secondary settling tanks is pumped onto the gravity belt filter press as waste activated sludge (WAS). Alum is added to the sludge to enhance solid content. The thickened sludge is pumped into the Thermophilic Aerobic Digester with sludge and scum from the primary settling tanks. The Thermophilic Aerobic Digester operates between 145-to-150 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for about 14 days with constant air supply for mixing. The digested sludge from the Thermophilic Aerobic Digester is pumped into the Sludge Nitrification De-Nitrification Reactor where the temperature is maintained between 95-to-100F for about 14 days. The digested sludge from the Sludge Nitrification De-Nitrification Reactor is pumped onto the belt filter press. A polymer is added at the head of the belt filter press to enhance solid content and increase liquid removal. The sludge cake of the belt filter press ranges between 20-30 percent solids. The biosolids, considered Class A, is reclaimed for beneficial reuse.
Off-gas from the Thermophilic Aerobic Digester and the Sludge Nitrification DeNitrification Reactor is collected and treated through the bio-filter before releasing into the atmosphere. The filtrates from the belt filter press and the gravity belt filter press are direct to the Marsh Creek Pump Station. Grits from the centrifugal grit removal system are dumped onto a drying bed. The liquid flows to into the floor drain, then back to the headworks. Dried solids from the drying bed are landfilled. The 3-Stage Tertiary Treatment System is taken off-line once a week to remove accumulated sludge. The sludge slurry is pumped to the Gulvin Park Pump Station for treatment. While the 3-Stage Tertiary Treatment System is temporary off-line, the disinfected effluent is redirected to a side channel that continues to the aerated effluent chamber for dechlorination.

4.0 EPA SAMPLING/INSPECTION ACTIVITIES
4.1 Sampling Activities
ISCO automatic composite samplers were programmed to take 96 sample aliquots during the 24-hour sampling event from the effluent monitoring location. The 24-hour composite sample was collected and analyzed for 5-Day Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Ammonia (NH3), Phosphorus, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), and Metals (Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Nickel, Selenium, Silver, and Zinc). Grab-Composite samples representing the 24-hour sampling event were collected and analyzed for Cyanide and Total Phenolics. Multiple grab samples were collected during the 24-hour sampling event for Volatile Organic Analytes (VOAs). The VOAs grab samples were composited in the laboratory. Grab samples were collected and analyzed for Low-Level Mercury and Fecal Coliform.
On-site grab samples were collected and analyzed for pH, Temperature, Settleable Solids (SS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC).
In addition, an ISCO automatic composite sampler was programmed to take 96 sample aliquots during the 24-hour sampling event from the influent monitoring location. The 24-hour composite sample was collected and analyzed for BOD5, TSS, NH3, and TKN.
All sample containers, preservation techniques and holding times were in accordance with USEPA requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 136. Signed and dated custody seals were placed across the lids and along the sides of the sample containers. The custody sealed sample containers were placed inside plastic sample bags and sealed up. All samples were transported on ice to the USEPA Laboratory in Edison, New Jersey for analysis.
Effluent flow monitoring data were obtained directly from Marsh Creek WWTP instrumentation which was last calibrated on June 7, 2021.
Split samples were collected and given to the facility representative.
