1. Executive Summary
1.1 Fayetteville Team
In May, the Fayetteville team consisted of 43 full-time staff members. Of the 51 authorized employees, 96.71% of the labor
hours are dedicated to the Fayetteville facilities and 3.29% labor hours are dedicated to other Jacobs projects. There were
six open positions and the Regional Support team assisted with work order backlog, capital improvement projects, and
various special projects. The Employee Vacancy and Project Status Report is presented in Appendix C.
1.2 Compliance
1.2.1 Noland and West Side
The Noland and West Side facilities met all discharge permit parameter limits throughout May. There were no sanitary
sewer overflows reported at the facilities or at the lift stations.
The May effluent discharge limitations and data summary tables are presented in Appendices A-B.
1.3 Financials
The month ended with a negative financial variance. The non-labor and labor expenses were under budget.
The May YTD projected budget variance is ($183,438) as seen in the Budget Performance Table below.

2. Plant Operations
The Noland and West Side Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRF) met all discharge permit parameter limits within the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits.
Details of effluent quality and influent loadings are shown in Appendices A and B. The summary tables for effluent permit
parameter limitations were updated to reflect May effluent discharge limitations.
Fayetteville received 6.7 inches of rain and the average temperature for the month was 71°F.
Note: temperature obtained from https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=tsa
Note: rainfall totals obtained from https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=tsa
2.1 Noland
The Noland facility treated a total of 175 MG (million gallons) of influent. The average daily flow was 7.68 MGD (million
gallons per day) and the peak flow was calculated at 23.24 MGD on May 6th.
The Noland facility stopped discharge from May 4th – May 12th for an annual filter cell bleaching. Approximately
3,147gallons of 12.5% bleach were fed to the filter cell influent over a period of 30 hours. The bleaching process breaks
down biological growth and algae accumulation in the sand filter media, which increases filter efficiency and prevents algae
growth in the effluent storage pond.
Noland Ozone
The ozone channel and Hydoz system were inspected for wear while the ozone system was shut down for bleaching.
2.2 West Side
The West Side facility treated a total of 340.33 MG of influent. The average daily flow was 10.97 MGD and the peak daily
flow was calculated at 30.46 MGD on May 6th.
Influent biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and hydraulic loading increased 15% compared to the month of April.
Adjustments to the return activated sludge (RAS) and dissolved oxygen (DO) were made to ensure a quality effluent.
Flow equalization return pump #2 was installed after repairs were completed. This increases flow return capability back to
100% (as 7.5 MGD) and allows for more even influent loading distribution throughout the day.
New wash nozzles were installed on both belt filter presses at the West Side facility. The new nozzles provide a higher water
pressure to the belt cleaning system, which will improve solids buildup from the belt and increase dewatering efficiency.

3. Laboratory
New NPDES permit changes for Noland became effective on May 1st. In preparation, the WIMS wastewater database program
was modified to include chlorides and the Jacobs Sample Tracking Tool (STT) was updated. The STT is a printed chart that
tracks all sample collection requirements and is signed daily to confirm all scheduled sampling events are complete.
Monthly chlorides analysis began for compliance with the new permit changes. White River effluent was sent to Eurofins and
analyzed for sulfates, chlorides, and nitrate + nitrite. Data results were within permit limits.
Quarterly Industrial Surcharge sample collection and analysis was completed. As outlined in the NPDES permit for the
Noland WRRF, quarterly industrial surcharge samples were collected from Hiland Dairy, ConAgra Brands, Tyson, and EcoTech
for analysis of pH, total suspended solids, total phosphorus, and biochemical oxygen demand. An EcoTech sample was also
collected for annual metals and sent to Eurofins for analysis. Surcharge fee reports were generated by the pretreatment
department using self-generated industrial data, as well as data results from the Noland laboratory.
The sample collection for annual Table II pesticides, volatile organics, and base neutral acids on effluent and influent at both
wastewater facilities was unsuccessful due to shipping issues. Ice melt resulted in a temperature exceedance of 7.5ºC, which
is outside of the accepted preservation limit of 6ºC. The sampling event was rescheduled for a later date. Packing procedures
were reviewed and no changes were deemed necessary.
Soil samples collected from BMS Areas 1 and 3 were sent to Geotechnical & Testing Services (GTS) for the following analyses:
pH, electrical conductivity, cation-exchange capacity, total solids, sodium absorption ratio (SAR), nitrate nitrogen,
phosphorus, and metals (cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, potassium, arsenic, mercury, molybdenum, selenium,
aluminum, and iron). The SAR data is a measure of the ability of the soil to allow proper water drainage and root growth. An
SAR below 13 indicates a well aerated soil. Results were all statistically within scope and exhibited no unusual trends.
Fertilizer samples were sent to GTS and analyzed for fecal coliform, total solids, phosphorus, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, total
Kjeldahl nitrogen, and metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, and zinc).
All results were within application limits and exhibited no unusual trends.

Jacobs - Fayetteville v
4. Biosolids Management Site
4.1 Biosolids Operations
During the month of May, the WRRF’s produced 2,093 wet tons of belt-filter-pressed biosolids. All biosolids produced were
partially dried in solar houses and processed through the Griffin sludge dryer. Roughly 1,427 partially dried tons were
disposed of at the landfill. By partially drying biosolids through the solar houses and the Griffin sludge dryer, the BMS
managed to remove 666 tons of water before landfilling. It is estimated that $32,095 were saved in tipping fees. The landfill
expense for May is estimated at $68,767.
4.2 Water Treatment Residuals
May was another challenging month for land application. Though we often did not receive the amount of precipitation that
was being forecasted, we still received 4.9 inches of rain throughout the month and land application zones stayed mostly
saturated. In total, the BMS team applied 89.51 tons of water treatment residuals and generated $2,863.
4.3 Dryer Operation
The BMS team continued 24/7 operation of the sludge dryer in May. Griffin Residuals was onsite from May 7th - May 10th for
adjusting feed sensors on the dryer and establishing new parameters for the sensors. The adjusted position of the sensors
improves our ability to keep the dryer fed without manual inputs. However, the sensors and accompanying automation does
not allow the feed conveyance to completely fill the dryer’s belt. We regularly achieve 85% - 90% belt coverage during
operation and believe we could achieve even higher coverage with the addition of two new sensors in the correct locations.
Automation and sensor discussions between the BMS and Griffin are ongoing and will continue until we achieve increased
coverage on the dryer’s belt.
The Class A fertilizer compliance sample was collected on May 9th and delivered to GTS for analysis to confirm compliance
with 503 regulations. A preliminary report was received from the lab with a percent total solid of 93.37% and the fecal
coliform result of non-detectable. Data results for the remaining parameters of metals and nutrients were received in June
and were within scope showing no unusual trends.
The BMS team shut down the Griffin dryer for planned maintenance on May 20th. Maintenance tasks involved extracting a
chain-drag elevator from the dryer building (discharge conveyor 2) and installing a new screw auger (discharge auger 2).
The new discharge auger is an immense improvement from the discharge elevator. The auger is concealed in a closed trough
and allows the use of auger 3 which drops finished product into an easy access storage location.

5. Maintenance
5.1 West Side
In May maintenance staff rebuilt the upper and lower wash box on belt press #2. This rebuild included new wipers, 2 mm
spray nozzles, and rebuilding the flush valves feeding the wash box. The staff also made a few minor adjustments to help
the belt track in a central position on the belt press.
5.2 Noland
A new flush line was installed on the SPU tank in the Noland headworks. This flush line will help mix the sediment and grit
in the bottom of the tank. Prior to this installation, the grit would settle at the bottom of the tank and build-up to cause
issues with the macerator pumps. The new flush line and procedure should mitigate the problem.
Noland headworks flush line installed
May 2024 Monthly Report
Jacobs - Fayetteville viii
Maintenance staff received a new storm water pump in early May for Noland. The pump was installed in the middle of the
month and was commissioned by staff. This pump is used during rain events to carry rainwater from the back side of Noland
to the headworks facility. With this asset in service, Noland has two functioning storm water pumps.

May 2024 Monthly Report
Jacobs - Fayetteville ix
5.3 Lift Stations
A new disconnect panel was installed at lift station #25 on Aster Avenue. This 200-amp panel feeds the main source of
power to this station. During a recent weather event, the weatherhead riser on the meter box panel broke, causing water to
infiltrate into the panel. The weatherhead and riser assemblies create a waterproof enclosure entry point to protect the panel
contents from rain and moisture.
The Hamestring pump station odor control panel at lift station #7 was replaced by maintenance staff last month. The new
panel is constructed of 304 stainless-steel, which is considered top grade due to its high nickel and chromium content. This
gives it excellent anti-corrosion properties and upgrading to this higher quality of steel panel will extend the life of the
controls and protect the electrical components from future weather events.
May 2024 Monthly Report
Jacobs - Fayetteville x
The annual Artesis® Motor Circuit Analysis predictive maintenance for the 350 HP pumps at the Hamestring pump station
continues to reveal valuable data with a recent detection of amp differences. Three of these pumps are VFD driven and a
consultation with Schneider Electric VFD specialist prompted an on-site visit to witness the Artesis in action. An amp
difference was found to be caused by capacitive coupling where a VFD output is pushed through 200 feet of underground
conduit filled with water and combined with a 260 KW load. This created undue stress on the motor with overheating, bearing
failure, and a shorter life-cycle. Schneider Electric recommended the installation of dV/dT filters (delta Voltage/delta Time),
also known as motor protection filters. The devices will reduce voltage spikes that can occur in variable frequency drives. The
motor is now running much cooler and within design parameters, and the VFD and motor audibly sounds quieter. This will
increase the life cycle of the motor to its original design life cycle and reduce maintenance repair costs. Artesis was able to
capture something that we would not have been able to detect with typical visual and audible observations. By working
together with Schneider professionals, we were able to correct a root cause problem, saving time and money. The average
cost of materials to install the dV/dT filters was $5300 each. The cost to remove the motor for repairs for bearing
replacement and rewinding can cost from $6000 to $10,000 each, while the cost of a new custom motor is $124,000.

6. Industrial Pretreatment
In accordance with NPDES Permits AR0020010/AFIN 72-00781 and AR0050288/AFIN 72-01033, the annual pretreatment
report was submitted to the ADEQ.
Quarterly surcharge sampling (BOD, TSS, T-Phos, pH) was performed for the three food industries (ConAgra, Hiland, Tyson),
as well as Ecotech and Elkhart. Data reports from this sampling event are sent to the industries for them to use during their
daily and monthly average calculations to verify and report compliance.
Tentatively planned an IPP seminar and tour of the Noland facility with City staff and industrial contacts for June or July this
year. This session will be an opportunity to come together to discuss industrial pretreatment-related topics and to continue
education around the peculiarities of industrial activities concerning municipal wastewater treatment.
Hiland Dairy reported two mercury exceedances on their May data Self-Monitoring Report (SMR). Per the Enforcement
Response Standard Operating Procedure five consecutive composite monitoring events were performed and a Notice of
Violation (NOV) was issued for the two violations.
With the efficiency and safety of the plant and employees in mind, a hauled wastewater policy change has been made
requiring drivers to sign in each time entering the facility.
Monthly surcharge and waste hauler reports were completed and submitted for billing. For revenue generated from the IPP,
see Table 6.1 and Figure 19.

Safety
The safety team had its monthly meeting on May 2nd and welcomed its newest representative from the Maintenance team,
John Jarvela. Additionally, the Fayetteville safety team participated in the recently re-started Central Area safety update call,
which includes regional updates and safety topics from other projects in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. These calls are an
excellent opportunity to stay abreast of current health & safety issues affecting similar facilities across the region and
preparing for future regulatory trends. Compliance with the mandatory glove policy has been excellent, and appropriate
gloves for the task are being worn throughout the project. As of 6/20/2024, the project has gone almost 9 months (268
days) without a recordable incident. This is a significant achievement for the entire project team.
May 2024 Monthly Report
Jacobs - Fayetteville xvi
7. Woolsey Wet Prairie
A much anticipated, and welcome, rainfall relief occurred in May with an
estimated monthly rainfall nearly 2-inches above the normal monthly average.
This is the first time in 9-months that the rainfall total has exceeded a normal
monthly average, with only three such occurrences in the past 140-months.
Again, these trends emphasize a timely boost in rainfall and highlight an
extended period of overall rainfall shortage experienced regionally. May’s
plentiful rainfall is likely to set the stage for an abundance of native wildflower
blooms as spring transitions to summer next month.
IVM treatments for May continue to focus on HIGH-Priority invasive species in
the undeveloped buffer spaces adjacent to the Woolsey Wet Prairie Sanctuary.
These targets include Musk Thistle, Ox-eye Daisy, Poison Hemlock, and Perilla
Mint. Intensive treatments of priority species will begin next month within
Woolsey to focus primarily on Sericea lespedeza and Johnsongrass.
A surprising discovery also occurred in May at Woolsey Wet Prairie with a
blooming native Yellow Indigo (Baptisa tinctoria). Yellow Indigo was
historically found within the Ozarks, but several factors have left it very
uncommon. These plants were relocated several years ago from the Arkansas
River Valley to improve and increase Woolsey’s prairie type biodiversity. Initially
thought to have been unsuccessful, it was a huge surprise to find a few plants
successfully persisted with first time blooms this year. This will be an interesting
species to monitor in years to come to gauge its long-term influence.

Water conservation required for east Hwy 16 Fayetteville customers
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.— The City of Fayetteville Utilities Department has advised residential and
commercial customers along the Highway 16 east corridor (E. Huntsville Road) between
Fayetteville and Elkins to adjust their water usage. Due to dry conditions and extreme heat,
the City’s water system is experiencing increased demand, resulting in reduced or no water
pressure for some customers.
The affected area is east of S. Dead Horse Mountain Road and south of E. Wyman Road.
To see a map showing the boundary for the water conservation area, go
to: https://www.fayetteville-ar.gov/4349/2024-Water-Restrictions. Officials have placed
restrictions on yard and landscaping irrigation to certain days and times of day:
• Even numbered addresses may irrigate between the hours of 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. on
Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
• Odd numbered addresses may irrigate between the hours of 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. on
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday
With hot summer temperatures and heavy demand for irrigation, usage in east Fayetteville and
Elkins is high, and parts of the water system are being pushed to its limit. City officials believe
adjusting morning irrigation schedules to nighttime and restricting irrigation to specific days will
assist in allowing the water system to recover.
Voluntary water conservation efforts are encouraged by all water customers in addition to the
restrictions noted above.
To report a possible water leak, please call the City of Fayetteville at 479-575-8386 from 7 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. or call 479-587-3555 after hours.
For more information or questions, call Water and Sewer at 479-575-8386 or go to
