It is interesting to note the increase in the number of bacteria in the sewage during its passage through the septic tank and settling basin and the marked decrease in the number of bacteria in the eiliuents from the various sprinkling filters. It is important also to note the gradual increase in the number of bacteria in these effluents corresponding roughly with the de- creased depth of filtering material. T^he number of bacteria in the eflfluents from the sprinkling filters increases considerably during the time in which it is passing through the secondary sedimentation process. The approximate numbers of bacteria in the crude sewage and various effluents are shown in the following table: Number per c. c. Crude Sewage 1,600,000 Septic Tank effluent 5,000,000 Settling Tank effluent 2,000,000 Sprinkling Filter No. 1 effluent 300,000 Sprinkling Filter No. 2 effluent 390,000 Sprinkling Filter No. 3 effluent 680,000 Sprinkling Filter No. 4 effluent 900,000 Settling Basin No. 1 effluent 770,000 Settling Basin No. 2 effluent 1,000,000 12 The net result of passing the crude sewage through the septic tank, then applying it to sprinkling filters four feet in depth, then passing the effluent from the filters through a basin in which a large portion of the suspended matter was deposited, and finally applying the effluent from this settling basin upon sand filters, has been a purification amounting to a removal ot 90% of the organic matter in the original sewage as measured by the organic nitrogen, which is shown, together with other analyses, in the following table: Parts per million.

The city owns considerable land so located that the sludge can be run into lagoons built upon it, and it is probable that this will be the most satisfactory and eco- nomical method of disposing of it for some years to come. The sludge ap- pears to be of such a nature that it can be successfully filter pressed, should that method finally become desirable. It has been necessary from time to time to remove the sludge from the various tanks, in which case it has been discharged upon land in the vicinity and the method has not proved objectionable. While the sludge has some odor, resembling that of tannery wastes, it is not of a highly putrefactive na- ture or particularly offensive. The fresh sludge appeared to dry out more quickly and be more easily cared for than that which had been allowed to accumulate in the septic tank for a long period of time. It is very desirable that the experimental plant be continued in opera- tion throughout the remainder of the present summer, and If possible through another winter. The laboratory force has been greatly reduced, and conse- quently it will not be possible to continue the chemical work in as thorough a manner as has been the case in the past, but it is believed that much valu- able information which will be of great assistance in the design and future operation of the proposed plant, will be gained in this way. Recommendations: After giving the entire problem most careful consideration, and in light of the various studies and experiments made, we make the following recom- mendations: That sedimentation be adopted as a preparatory method of treating the sewage. That the effluent from the sedimentation process be filtered through sprinkling filters either 7 feet or 5 feet in depth, at the rate of one milliOQ gallons per acre per day. 13 That the effluent from the sprinkling filters be passed through secondary sedimentation basins sufficient in capacity to reduce the quantity of sus- pended solids to thirty parts per million. That if the filters are constructed five feet in depth the effluent from sec- ondary sedimentation basins be filtered through sand filters at the rate of one million gallons per day. The final decision as to depth of sprinkling filters will depend upon the estimated cost of first construction, as well as that of operation, and cannot be reached until further studies relating to design have been made. If rea- sonably economical, the filters five feet in depth followed by sedimentation and intermittent filtration through sand, will probably yield the most satis- factory effluent GENERAL CONDITIONS. ' 7^ :' ' The City of Gloversvil.le is in the Town of Johnstown, County of Pulton, nine miles north of, and 500 feet above the Mohawk River at the Village of Fonda. It is the seat of the glove manufacturing industry in the U. S., and had a population of 18,349, according to the census report of 1900, and which at the present time is estimated to exceed 20,000. Industries. In addition to the glove manufacturing plants, there are twenty-six tan- neries which dress glove and the finer grades of shoe leather. There is also one hair mill, one knitting mill, two silk mills and one brewery. All of the domestic sewage, tannery refuse and mill wastes formerly emp- tied directly into Cayadutta Creek as it flowed through the city. The stream accordingly at times became highly colored and was the source of odors which caused some complaint. The Cayadutta Creek. Cayadutta Creek is a small mountain stream flowing in a southerly di- rection through the center of the city, and receiving three branches from the west. The watershed area of Cayadutta Creek at the sewage disposal works is 14 square miles. The measured dry weather flow September, 1908, was 2,700,000 gallons per day, equivalent to .298 second-feet per square mile. From the disposal works the creek flows three miles through the City of Johnstown, receiving the domestic sewage and wastes from about twenty- four tanneries of that city, and empties into the Mohawk river at Fonda, at which point the total watershed area of Cayadutta Creek and its tributaries is 61.04 square miles. During a portion of 1898, the whole of 1899, and a part of 1900, measure- ments of the flow of the creek were taken for 24 consecutive months. The results of these measurements appear in the following table, together with the estimated normal flow of the creek, the measured flow of sewage (as ob- served in the 12 months July, 1908, to June, 1909, Inclusive) and the ratio of dilution for each month: 14 Sewage Flow, Cayadutta Creek Flow and Ratio of Dilution.

(See report on New York Water Supply, by John R. Freeman, pp. 212, 240, 241.) From these various measurements and estimates of flow it appears that there is available for dilution of sewage during dry weather, a quantity of creek water which may not greatly exceed, and which can seldom be more than three times the flow of the sewage. Such a condition is unusual and, as the dilution is very slight, it is essential that the sewage be very thor- oughly purified before its discharge into the creek. Litigation. Litigation was commenced on August 17, 1899, by a farmer residing about four miles below the City of Johnstown, who filed a claim for damages and asked for an injunction restraining the City of Gloversville from emptying sewage into the Cayadutta Creek. The action was tried in October, 1900, and the plaintiff was awarded damages amounting to $19.50 per annum, and the city enjoined from discharging its sewage into the Cayadutta Creek and di- rected to remove its sewage from said creek within one year from January 29, 1901. The case was appealed to the appellate division of the Supreme Court on behalf of the city, and finally to the Court of Appeals, which handed down a decision in May, 1903, confirming the decisions of the lower courts. Since that time numerous other cases have been brought against the city, and also 15 against mill owners, and twenty-three injunctions in all have been granted by tiie courts against the city. The time when these Injunctions should take effect has been extended from year to year by the courts to permit the city to build a line of intercepting sewers, to remove the surface water from tlie sewer system, and for the purpose of experimental work on the purification of the sewage. The damages awarded have been small, and the total cost of trying all the cases, over seventy in number, including damages and all expenses in connection with the trial of the cases and the postponement of injunctions, has been about $25,000. Sevi^er System and Sewage. The sewer system consists of 28. 6 miles of separate sewers, 3.6 miles of combined sewers, and 3.25 miles of intercepting sewers. At present considerable roof water enters the sewers. In 1903 there were 2,E;97 sewer connections; 388 roofs; 4,152 families, or 13,629 people con- nected and 15,696 people were tributary to the sewers, and the average num- ber of people to one connection was 5.248; the average number of persons to each family 3.7.S; the ratio of roof water connections to the total connec- tions, 1:0.7. The measured flow at that time was 100 gallons per capita ot domestic sewage, including infiltration of ground water. Water Supply. The water supply of the city is obtained from springs and small streams outs;de of the watershed of the Cayadutta, in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, and is very pure and soft. The daily consumption is estimated to be about 2,250,000 gallons or 112% gallons per capita. Methods of Purification of Sewage. Several methods are in use upon a large scale for the purification of do- mestic sewage, and in some places domestic sewage containing a consider- able proportion of manufacturing wastes is successfully purified. The meth- ods in use may be grouped into two classes: 1. Methods involving chemical and physical action. 2. Methods involving biological action or the action of bacteria. Under the first classification may be -included sedimentation, chemical precifitation and also, possibly, the septic treatment, although the latter has generally been considered as partly, if not essentially, a biological process. By sedimentation is meant the process of passing sewage through set- tling basins and allowing the suspended matter to settle to the bottom of the the basins, thus permitting the drawing off of the clear water and separat- ing a large portion of the suspended matter from the remaining impurities. This process may be carried out by the intermittent filling, resting and draw- ing off of suitable tanks, or by the continuous flow of the sewage through such tanks. The latter method is the one more frequently adopted and when a suitable equipment is provided and the process carefully managed will pro- duce nearly as good an effluent as the intermittent plan. When sewage is passed at a comparatively slow rate through sedimen- tation basins, the bacteria, under ordinary conditions, develop rapidly and produce certain chemical and physical changes in the suspended matter of the sewage, and also to some extent, at least, in the matters in solution. The bacterial action appears to be greatest in the sludge and perhaps the 16 most important biological feature of this process is the result of the action of bacteria upon the sludge. In a few places all that has been found necessary for the treatment of the sewage has been to provide suitable means for sedimentation. In these cases the conditions are such that it is necessary to remove from the sewage only the floating and suspended matters. This is accomplished by the pro- cess known as sedimentation or by that known as septic tank treatment. Obviously with a dilution so slight as that which can be attained in Glovers- ville, neither of these methods will alone accomplish satisfactory results. In many cities where neither sedimentation nor the septic process is sulficient, certain chemicals have been added to the sewage, thus increasing the rapidity and completeness with which the floating and suspended matters are precipitated or allowed to settle to the bottom of the basin through which the sewage is made to flow. By this process in some places a small amount of the impurities in solution is also removed from the sewage. While each of the foregoing processes may be suitable for adoption under certain extremely favorable conditions, they cannot be seriously considered for the city of Gloversville except as preliminary to a more complete purifi- cation. The studies which have been made upon them have therefore been planned with a view to determining their efficiency as preliminary methods to be used in conjunction with other processes. Several processes of the second classification involving bacteriological action are in common used for the purification of sewage. Two of these have been seriously -considered in connection with the local problem, namely, intermittent filtration through sand, and the process commonly called in this country, purification by sprinkling filters. Intermittent filtration througli sand has been used in this country, as well as abroad, with marked success for nearly twenty years. It has been adopted by many cities in Massachusetts where there are large natural de- posits of sand of a character suitable for this work. Under this method of treatment the sewage, either with or without preliminary treatment, is turned upon the surface of beds composed of coarse sand. Thfise beds are usually about 4% feet in depth, and are provided with a system of under- drainage by which the sewage, after passing through the sand, is collected and conveyed away from the filters and discharged into a convenient stream. The purifying efficiency of these beds is dependent largely upon the life pro- cesses of bacteria, and the conditions under which the filters are operated, must be favorable to the growth and life of these organisms or the results will not be satisfactory. The quantity of sewage which can be filtered upon a given area of inter- mittent filters varies according to its strength, the size of the grains of sand, the temperature, ground water conditions, and particularly the care given the beds. In general it may be stated, however, that one acre of filter will purify from 50,000 to 100,000 gallons of sewage per day. In some cases, how- ever, it has been found to reach a quantity even as high as 150,000 gallons per acre per day, and in other exceptional cases, a rate of 50,000 gallons has been maintained only with difficulty and moderate efficiency. The sprinkling filter, like the intermittent filter, depends upon the life processes or organisms to accomplish its work. Instead of being composed of fine grains of sand, it is formed of coarser particles, and cduKers, wastes 17 from coal products, coke or crushed stone may be used. The depth of such beds varies from 4 to 10 feet. The sewage is applied by an apparatus which will distribute it in comparatively fine drops much as water falls upon the earth in time iof rain. By this method of application, the rate at which the sewage Is applied, being properly regulated, the sewage Is allowed to trickle over the stones in the filter, coming in contact with the large numbers of organisms which adhere to the surfaces of the stones and which derive their nourishment from the sewage. These bacteria assimilate the organic sub- stances, which under ordinary conditions, would undergo putrefactioi;, and traustorui theui into substances which under similar conditions will not un- dergo putrefaction. Such filters are provided with elaborate under-drainage systems, so that the putrified sewage may be taken away as fast as it trickles through the filtering medium. Reasons for Further Investigation and for Establishing an Experiment Station. While the treatment of domestic sewage has been studied at many places lor a long time, it is nevertheless considered desirable in many cases to es- tablish experiment stations for the purpose of studying different methods of treating sewage under local conditions. Exception may possibly be taken by some to this view, on the ground that there are in existence in this coun- try and abroad, a large number of plants in actual operation for the treat- ment of domestic sewage, and that many of these plants are highly satisfac- tory and successful. This argument, however, cannot be fairly advanced in the case of Gloversville, because there are very few cities which have a sew- age comparable with that of this city, and there Is probably no city success- fully purifying sewage of a similar qualitj', on a large scale. SufHcient data was not available to serve as a safe guide in the solution of the local prob- lem, and it was believed that further special study of this particular sewage was needed before the method of treament could be selected and the disposal works designed. When the problem of sewage disposal was first presented, the sewage from the city was discharged into the Cayaduy;a from a comparatively large number of independent sewers, and refuse wastes flowed from each tannery directly into the creek. After a careful consideration of the feasibility of taking a large number of samples from each sewer and tannery outlet pipe, ■combining them in proportion to the several quantities discharged daily, and making experiments with the composite samples thus obtained, it was de- cided that such a method of investigation would not give satisfactory and re- liable results. It was further decided that such studies could not be profita- bly made until the intercepting sewer had been built and the lateral sewers connected therewith, and the tanneries had been provided with settling tanks and connections therefrom had been made with the trunk sewer. In other words, it was not wise to proceed with such experiments until the sewage of the city could be delivered at the site of the disposal works in a condition fairly comparable with that in which it would be received after the disposal plant was completed and in full operation. A review of the conditions found to exist led to doubt upon a number of points of vital Importance to the success of the proposed plant for the puri- fication of the sewage. These points may be grouped into eight different questions, which will be briefly presented as representing the most important 18 objects of the sudles to be carried out at or in connection with the experi- ment station which was built by the city. 1. Is the sewage of such a character as to be purified by the usual biological processes, and what would be the effect of the chemicals upon such processes? 2. What will be the effect of the extreme cold of the winter upon the processes available tor purification, and will it be necessary to cover tanks and filters to protect them from the cold weather? 3. Taking into consideration the chemicals in the sewage, its strength, and the low temperature during the winter months, at what rate can the sewage be purified on a given unit size of filter, and what will be the size of the plant required under these conditions? 4. To what extent can the suspended matters in the waste liquors from the mills be retained in mill tanks and what quantity of suspended solids will the sewage contain after such tanks are built and put into operation? While it might be possible, though very difficult, to determine the amount of suspended matters escaping from the mill tanks with the ef- fluents, it was not practicable to determine the amount of precipitation which might take place in the trunk sewer. It is quite probable that chemicals might leave these tanks, dissolved in the respective effluents, and yet be precipitated by chemicals similarly discharged in solution from other tanks, thus forming suspended matter within the trunk sewer. It is therefore apparent that the only practical method of determining the amount of suspended matter is by analyses of the daily flow of sew- age from the main intercepting sewer. 5. What will be the quantity of sludge produced by the different processes of purification with reference to methods of disposal and to the tank capacity to be provided for the storage of sludge at different sea- sons of the year, particularly in the winter when some difficulty may be experienced in disposing of the sludge upon land? 6. What would be the effect upon the physical condition of the fil- ters, of the chemicals carried through the tanks provided for preliminary treatment? 7. Is the coloring matter in the sewage of such a character as to permit of its removal by filtration? 8. Will odors arise from the plant in such quantity and of such char- acter as to be seriously objectionable to people traveling on the railroads In the vicinity? For the purpose of investigating the foregoing subjects and many others of a subsidiary nature, a laboratory was built and equipped and a small ex- periment station was provided containing various tanks and filters with which the several processes, any of which might later be adopted on a large scale, could be tried. EXPERIMENT STATION. Laboratory. A one-story building with basement was erected to contain the chemical and bacterial laboratories. The dimensions of the building and of the vari- ous laboratories are as follows: 19 Main building, inside dimensions, 24 ft. x 24 ft. Chemical laboratory, - - 12 ft. x 24 ft. Bacteriological laboratory, 7 ft. x 8 ft. Preparation room, - - 12 ft. x 12 ft. Weighing room and office, 7 ft. x 10 ft. Power Plant. The sewage is delivered to the station by the main intercepting sewer which is at an elevation several feet below that of the tanks of the experi- ment station. The city is fortunate in owning as a part of this sewage disposal property. a small water power privilege. This privilege was utilized for the purpose of pumping sewage to the experimental tanks. A 12-inch Morgan Smith turbine was set under a head of 9.06 feet, and made 258 revolutions using 200 cubic feet of water per minute. The water of the creek was delivered to this wheel by means of an old penstock, a new tailrace being excavated to the stream. Belted to the turbine was a 2%-inch Gould, vertical, submerged, centri- fugal pump, pumping against about 20 feet head, making 516 revolutions per minute, delivering about 125,000 gallons at first and later 155,000 gallons of sewage per day through 36% feet of 3-inch pipe. Screen. The pump was protected and entirely surrounded by a screen composed of %-inch wooden bars, set vertically 1% inches apart. This screen was set in the center of a chamber somewhat wider than and on the line of the sewer so that only the portion of the sewage going through the pump was screened, the balance passing around on either side. Grit Chamber. The sewage was delivered to a grit chamber 8 ft. x 5 ft. x 5 ft. deep. This chamber was provided with an overflow, and at one end with three orifice chambers, so that the sewage was discharged from the grit chamber through the orifices into small chambers from which it flowed to the several tanks. As described elsewhere in this report, the grit chamber as originally con- structed was not successful, and it was subsequently reduced in size to a chamber 6 ft. long and 22 inches deep, with a width varying from 10 inches at the inlet end to 3 feet at the orifice end. Septic Tank. A wooden tank was provided for experiments upon the septic process. This lank was 32 ft long and 8 ft. wide, with 8.2 ft. depth of sewage and a capacity of 15,702 gallons. Three bafiles or dams for halding back the sludge were placed across the tank. These were 8 ft. apart, thus dividing the tank into four compartments; in the beginning the first dam was 2 ft., the second . 1% ft, and the third 1 ft. high. Early in December the dams were raised to a height of 41/2 ft., 4j ft., and 2J ft, respectively. There were also three scum boards extending to a depth of 2 ft. at first and later 4 ft. below the surface of the sewage and placed across the tank. These were spaced, starting at the inlet end, 9 ft, 8 ft., 8 ft, and 7 ft, respectively. When the alterations were made in December, the third scum board was removed. 20 The inlet pipe discharged into a box extending across the inlet end of the tanlc. This box was 12 inches wide and 6 inches deep, with hole in the bottom, and was for the purpose of effecting a uniform distribution of the sew- age at the inlet end of the tank. The effluent from the tank was skimmed from the surface by means of a wooden box placed across the end of the tank. This box was 8 ft. long, 2 ft. wide, and 3 ft. deep. The water before flowing into the box passed under a scum board set at an angle of about 45 degrees with the vertical and extend- ing down to a depth equal to that of the bottom of the box. This board sloped away from the box In such a manner that sludge brought up into the upper strata of water by gas at a point near the box, would be carried away from instead of being attracted towards the box. A large amount of suspended matter was carried out of this tank with the effluent during the season of fermentation in 1908, and accordingly the tank was remodeled and provided with a series of chambers near the outlet «nd^ the purpose of which was to allow of frequent removal of the suspended matter collected in them, thus preventing its being discharged with the ef- fluent. Settling Tank. The construction of the settling tank was like that of the septic tank in every respect. It was 32 feet long, 8 feet wide and held a depth of 8 feet of sewage. The capacity was 15,319 gallons. Sprinkling Filters. Four sprinkling filters were constructed in cylindrical wooden tanks. They consisted of limestone broken ino sizes varying from 1% inches to 2 inches in diameter. Each tank had a false bottom covered with field stones about 6 inches in diameter to facilitate drainage and aeration. There were also about six ventilating pipes passing through the sides of each filter just above the false bottom. Each filter was .003 of an acre in area. The sewage was applied by means of one fixed Columbus nozzle in the center of each filter, in a continuous stream under a constant head of 5 ft. The filters were numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4, and were 10 feet, 7 feet, 5 feet and 5 feet in depth, re- spectively. In considering the range of materials available for this type of filter, due regard was had for the large amount of light, finely divided suspended mat- ter, which is at all times present in the sewage. It was felt that conditions were likely to arise under which considerable of this matter might pass out of the tanks and on to the filters. There is also a probability that there will be more or less incrustation of salts of lime upon the particles of filtering medium. For these reasons it was deemed wise to use only a coarse-grained medium, and the size was fixed with a view to providing as liberally as possi- ble for flushing any accumulation of suspended matter from the pores of the filter, and at the same time "to furnishing a large area of contract and thus avoiding an excessive depth of filter. Having thus determined upon the size of stone to be used, the problem remaining was to determine the optimun depth of filter and the proper rate of filtration through a filter of that depth. By thus narrowing this part of the problem down to these two points, the experimental equipment required and the routine work at the station were greatly reduced and simplified. 21 Settling Basins. Two settling basins were provided to receive the effluent from the sprink- ling filters. Basin No. 1 received the effluent from filters Nos. 1 and 2 and basin No. 2 received the effluent from filters 3 and 4. Settling basin No. 1 consisted of a wooden tank divided into three sec- tions, the water passing through the entire length of each section consecu- tively, thus virtually making three separate tanks, each one being 5 feet 7 inches long by 2 feet wide by 2 feet deep. Settling basin No. 2 consisted of a wooden tank divided into six sections each being separate from the others, and of the following dimensions, length 7 feet 7 inches, width 16 inches, depth of water 4 feet. The water passed through all of the sections consecutively. Intermittent Filters. Two intermittent sand filters were provided, numbered 5 and 6, respec- tively. The sand used for these filters was very coarse and remarkably. uni- form, giving the following results upon mechanical analysis: TABLE I. Mechanical Analysis of Sand.

It was under- drained with half tile covered with graded layers of field stones. Filter No. 6 was 5 ft. in depth, .000091 acre in area. Filter House. In the latter part of November a frame building was erected to cover the tanks and all the filters, with the exception of sprinkling filter No. 4 which was left unprotected except that an embankment of earth was thrown up about the filter tank, although not exceeding it in height. It is possible that 22 this filter benefitted also from the fact that it was located very close to the southerly end of the filter house, which naturally sheltered it to some extent, although the wind blows from the north only on very infrequent occasions, due doubtless to the topographical conditions of the surrounding country. The prevailing winds are from the west, although easterly winds occur at frequent intervals. The frame of the building was covered with a single thickness of square edged boards 1% inches in thickness. (This material was selected because it could subsequently be used for the construction of sidewalks). The root and sides of the building were covered with tarred paper. The roof of the building was removed about the first of April. Organization. The investigations have been carried on under the general direction ot the City Engineer, by one Chemist and several assistants, as follows: Chemist, Harry B. Hommon. Asst. Chemist, Lee A. Chase, until Dec. 24, 1908. Asst. Chemist, George Orr. Day Inspector, Herbert Kniskern. Night Inspeitor, Charles Clark. Temperature of Air and Sewage. In Appendix A will be found table of maximum and minimum tempera- tures for December, January, February and March of each year from 1898- 1908 inclusive. These data have been furnished through the courtesy of John McLean, V. M. O. From the records of daily observations of minimum temperatures. Table II has been compiled showing the number of days in each winter period of four months when the minimum temperature fell below certain specified temperatures. TABLE II.

It is also evident that a minimum temperature of 20° should be expected upon about 76 days during the winter season of each year. During the period covered by the work at the experiment sUtion, daily observations have been made of the temperature of the air at the station TR'hlch appear in detail in Appendix B. The results of some of these obser- vations have been summarized and classified according to the number of days on which certain minimum and maximum temperatures have been reached. The results of this classification appear in Table III. TABLE III. Number of Days in Month wlien the Temperatures were Below those Specified. Degrees Fahrenheit.

During this month the minimum temperature was below 32° on 28 out of 29 days, and the maximum temperature was below 32° on 17 days. During the four winter months beginning December, 1908, and ending March, 1909, the minimum temperature was below 32° Fahr. on 116 out of a total of 121 days. By referring to Table II, it will be observed that the winter ■of 1908-9 was materially warmer than that of several winters included in this 'compilation of temperature. Temperatures in Filter House. The housing of the tanks and filters had a marked effect upon the tem- perature of the air surrounding them. The temperatures of the air within the building are given in Appendix C. The uniformity of the temperature at different times of the day from day to day is very noticeable. While provi- sion was made for artificially heating the building, such heat was applied only on two or three occasions and had no effect whatever upon the general temperatures as recorded. It is important to note that on only two occasions did the mercury fall as low as 32 degrees, and only on one day did it reach sl lower temperature. The temperatures. Table IV, of the air within and without the building at six o'clock in the morning for the month of January, 1909, will serve to Bhow the effect of the house upon the temperature of the air surrounding the filters : 24 TABLE IV.

The temperature of the sewage at Gloversville is somewhat lower than that of many other cities. This is due doubtless partly to the lower tempera- ture of the air, and also to the discharge into the sewer of large quantities of tannery wastes, which are universally cold, the water used in the tanning processes being taken either from the city supply, driven wells or the Caya- dutta Creek, comparatively little of which is heated. By way of comparison the average temperatures of the sewage from Gloversville and Waterbury, Connecticut, are presented in Table V. 25 TABLE V. Monthly Averages of Temperatures of Crude Sewage at Gloversville, N. Y., and Waterbury, Conn., Experiment Station. (Degrees Fahrenheit) Month Gloversville Waterbury Difference 47 46 45 46 51 57 59 63 61 57 52 49 50 50 49 52 60 CI 65 72 73 66 52 50 3 February March April May 4 4 6 9 4 July 6 9 September 12 October 9 November December 1 From this table it appears that the temperature of the sewage at Glov- ersville was lower than that at Waterbury, during each month except Novem- ber, with a maximum difference of 12° in September. It is also interesting and important to note that the greatest differences in temperatures occurred during the warmer months, which doubtless has a marked bearing upon the absence of the usual activity of fermentation in the septic tank. PRECIPITATION. Rainfall. Statistics regarding the monthly rainfall for each year from 1898 to 1909, inclusive, have been furnished through the courtesy of Jno. McLean, V. M. O., and appear in Table VI. It will be noticed from this tabulation that the pre- cipitation during 1908 was considerably less than the normal and that it was unusually high in January, February and April of 1909, which fact doubtless had an important influence on the high flow of sewage during the spring of 1909.

RELATION OF INDUSTRIES TO PROBLEM OF SEWAGE DISPOSAL. Quantity of Mill Wastes. Gloversvllle has two important industries, the manufacturing of gloves, in which a large proportion of the population is engaged, and the tanning of skins for fine leathers, much of which is used for the manufacture of gloves. There are no mill wastes from the factories manufacturing gloves, but there are large quantities of wastes from the tanneries. The influence of the tanneries upon the quantity of sewage may be seen from Table VIII giving the approximate normal flow in gallons per day from each tannery, as well as the flow from a hair mill, a knitting mill and a silk mill. The quantities given in the table are based upon the most reliable Information ob- tainable, but the actual amounts undoubtedly vary from time to time above and below the figures given, according to business conditions, seasonal vari- ations and changes in methods. 27 TABLE VIII.

Prom Table VIII it appears that the total amount of manufacturing wastes which have hitherto been discharged directly into Cayadutta Creek was in excess of 950,000 gallons per day. The flow of domestic sewage being practically 1,500,000 gallons per day, the combined daily flow of sewage and manufacturing wastes is, therefore, about 2,500,000 gallons, which represents approximately the amount of sewage to be purified, although a few of the mills are not yet connected with the trunk sewer. In other words, the manu- facturing wastes amount to 38 per cent, of the total flow, and are equivalent to 63 per cent, of the domestic flow. It should be borne in mind that almost the entire amount of manufacturing wastes is discharged during the 10-hour working day, and the hourly rate of flow during that period is very materially increased thereby. This subject will be treated more fully under the consid- eration of the flow of sewage received at the disposal plant. General Method of Tanning. The manufacture of fine leather requires the use of very large quantities of a great variety of tan barks, tan extracts, chemicals, dye-stuffs and other materials. The gross weight of wet and dry hides tanned in Gloversville annually amounts to about 9,000,000 pounds, and about 8,000,000 pounds of chemical reagents and other substances are used In the process. 28 The general procedure employed In tanning is as follows ; first, the hides are soaked and softened. This treatment removes any soluble chemicals in which the hides may have been cured, and also some organic matter, both soluble and insoluble. After softening, the hides are depilated by treatment in lime vats, or In some other manner. When lime is used, as is quite gener- ally the case, large quantities of it are carried off in suspension, as well as in solution, with the waste liquors from the process. When other chemicals are used they too are to a considerable extent discharged, some in solution and some in suspension, with these waste liquors. In addition, a part of the lime which is at first taken up by and adheres to the skins is removed from them by the subsequent bateing and drenching process, and together with considerable organic matter is discharged with the waste liquors from this treatment. The next stage in the process is the tanning. For this, many different materials are used, although all are somewhat similar in nature. These ma- terials are used in solution, or at least their soluble portions are the effec- tive agents. Obviously, the waste liquors from this part of the process con- tain more or less of the active reagents, as it is no possible to completely exhaust the solutions, and in cases where only a part of the material added to the fresh bath is soluble, the balance of insoluble matter is also largely wasted. Chemicals Used at the Tanneries. The tanning of shoe leather usually involves the use of but comparative- ly few chemicals, but the preparation of glove leather is a much more deli- cate process and the variety of reagents used is much greater. Every tanner naturally has his own views of the particular process which gives the best results, and this together with the variety of skins worked and of tanned products produced, accounts for the great number of materials used in the tanning process.

The shrinkage in weight of hides during the process of tanning probably amounts to not less than 50% or 4,500,000 pounds per year, assuming 9,000,000 pounds as the gross weight of hides received at the tanneries. It is also probably true that 50% of the chemicals and other agents employed in the process of tanning are carried away from the tanneries in the form of ref- use. The only process which is employed to recover any portion of these wastes, is that carried on at the hair mill for the recovery of the hair. The weight of the wet refuse taken from the tanneries to the hair mill per annum Is nearly 6,300,000 pounds, or 70% of the total gross weight of hides. A large proportion of the hair contained in this refuse is recovered. There is also a very large amount of refuse matter containing much lime which is wasted from the hair mill. Analyses of the creek water indicate that the amount of wastes which find their way from the tanneries to the creek averages over 30,000 pounds per day, or 9,000.000 pounds per year. It would, therefore, appear that of the 17,000,000 pounds of hides and chemicals used, fully one-half eventually found it way into the creek before the mill tanks were installed. This is undoubtedly a low estimate of the total amount of wastes, for the reason that considerable portions are of such a nature that they do not flow along with the water, and would not be included in the samples. At nearly every tan- 30 nery are to be seen large quantities of lime and other refuse, wliich have been dumped out upon the land and, of course, not included in the analyses already cited. Condition of IVIill Wastes. From the foregoing discussion of the industries which contribute mill wastes to the sewage of the city and the processes of tanning w hich are in use, it appears that the waste liquors from the mills are heavily charged with organic and inorganic impurities both in suspension and in solution. These impurities consist in part of large quantities of the chemicals used in tanning, and their effect upon some of the processes of purification of sew- age which might be adopted was one of the subjects to be carefully consid- ered before finally determining upon the kind of a plant to be installed. The proportion of mill wastes to the domestic sewage is sufficient to make them at times the dominating element in the character of the sewage. IVIILL SETTLING TANKS. A mere inspection of the wastes from the tanneries shows that large quantities of solid refuse must be disposed of and that the liquid wastes are heavily laden with organic and inorganic matters. Much of this can be set- tled out in suitable sedimentation basins constructed at the several tanneries. This is a very necessary feature of the system of sewage disposal for two reasons : 1. Because such great quantities of solid matter would undoubtedly form accumulations in the intercepting sewer and branches leading thereto, from which it could be removed only at large expense. To undertake to convey this solid material through the intercepting sewer and laterals to the purification works would be very unwise. 2. Because this matter would seriously complicate operations at the disposal works. . Of the suspended matters in the liquid wastes discharged from the tan- neries, there will inevitably be a small portion which will pass through the mill settling tanks and enter the sewers. This should be confined to mate- rials comparatively finely divided and light in weight, so that they can be readily carried along by the sewage. Ordinance Regulating Mill Tanks. After much investigation and study of the proper course to be followed, and having due regard for the rights of the mill owners, the obligations of the City and the interests of all the citizens, the following ordinance was passed by the City Council: CHAPTER 4. LAWS OF 1908. The Common Council of the City of Gloversville, in regular session assembled, does hereby enact the following ordinance for the purpose of regulating and controlling the use of the sewer system of the City of Gloversville by mills, faltories and other manufacturing establishments. Section 1. No refuse, mill waste, sewage or other impure or offen- sive matter from any mill, factory, manufacturing establishment or other properties, shall be allowed to enter any stream within the limits of the City of Gloversville. 31 Section 2. No mill, factory or other manufacturing establishment, having mill waste shall use the sewer system of the City of Gloversville for sewering purposes without first connecting said mill, factory or other manufacturing establishment with settling tanks. PURPOSE OP TANKS. Section 3. The purpose of the tanks at the mills is to remove the. suspended solids, hair, leather and other heavy material from the mill wastes by sedimentation and any chemical or biological action that may take place in the tanks, so that the combined mill and domestic sewage may be purified, also to avoid the clogging of city sewers or unnecessar- ily burdening the sewage disposal plant. SIZE. Section 4. The bize of the tanks to be constructed, or used at any mill that is connected with the sewer system of the City of Gloversville shall be sufficient (or the purpose for which they are intended, and they shall be constructed with such features and of such dimensions as may be required by the Common Council. CHANGES. Section 5. If because of local conditions it is impossible to follow the plans and dimensions as given, any necessary changes must be made Subject to the approval of the City Engineer, and then only on submis- sion to the City Engineer of the plans showing just what changes are to be made, and how it is desired to construct the tank. Should existing tanks not operate or give results satisfactory to the Common Council they shall be changed, enlarged or rebuilt according to the direction of the Common Council by the mill owner within one month after written notice to that effect. CONNECTIONS WITH SEWER SYSTEM. Section 6. No connection with said sewer system shall be made by any mill, factory or other establishment desiring to sewer wastes with- out first filing a written application therefor and obtaining the consent of the Common Council. Connections of tanks to the trunk sewer are to be made at man- holes only, which are to be constructed by the city at the expense of the mill owners TANKS WATER-TIGHT. Section 7. The tanks must be water-tight, so that no ground, spring or surface water will enter the sewer from the tanks. CINDERS. Section 8. Whenever required, screened cinders are to be used be- tween the weir and the outlet of the tanks. OPERATION. Section 9. Both sections of the tanks must be used at the same time except when cleaning one section, the other may be used separately.- No tank shall be allowed to fill more than one-third of Its depth with settled 32 solids. There shall be no holes or leaks in the outlet end of the tank so that the liquid wastes may escape In any other way except by overflow- ing the top ot the mitlet end, unless tanks are of special construction, and unless permitted by special written permit from the City Engineer. CLEANING TANKS. Section 10. Tanks must be regularly cleaned at such intervals as their operation proves necessary or at any time when the City Engineer deems they should be cleaned. In cleaning the tanks no solids shall be emptied into the sewer or outlet from the t^nks, nor in any other way shall solids from the tanks be permitted to enter the sewer in cleaning. If the tanks are not properly cared for or if they are not cleaned when necessary or when directed by the City Engineer, they will be cleaned by the City and the expense thereof charged to the owner of the mill. ACBSS TO TANKS. Section 11. Free access to the tanks must be given to the Common- Council or their representatives at any times for either the purpose of measurement, analyses, experiments or inspection or for any other pur- pose connected with the operation or regulation of said sewer system. CHANGES OR ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS. Section 12. Any regulations or requirements hereafter adopted by the Common Council, or any changes in the size or form of construction, or operation of the tanks that may hereafter be directed by the Common Council, must be complied with. The Common Council shall have the right to discontinue connections with the sewer system at any time, without notice to the mill owner, if the requirements and regulations for the use of said sewer system, or the directions of the City Engineer are not complied with. INJURIOUS MATTER. Section 13. Any matter from the mills that may be detrimental to the purification of the sewage of the city of Gloversville, or interfere with the operation of the disposal plant, shall be removed by such mill owner from the sewer on order of the Common Council or City Engineer, and it shall not be again permitted to enter the sewer. NATURE OP CONSTRUCTION. Section 14. The tanks shall be constructed of such material and In such manner as to meet the approval of the City Engineer. REPAIRS. Section 15. The tanks shall be kept at all times in good condition ot repair. REPORTS. Section 16. The proprietor of each mill shall, on or before January 15th of each year, and as much oftener as shall be required by the Com- mon Council, make a report in writing to the Common Council, stating the amount of water used, amount of leather dressed, number of men employed, and the amount of chemicals used during such period as the Common Council' shall fix. Such proprietor Shall also furnish the Com- 33 mon Council with such additional information as it may deem necessary for the care and operation of the sewer system and disposal plant, pro- viding such Information will not injuriously effect his business. PENALTY. Section 17. Any person violating the provisions of this by-law shall be subject to a penalty of $25.00 for each offence and a further sum of $5.00 per day for each and every day such violations shall be continued. Section 18. This act ^ihall take effect immediately upon one publication in each of the ofBcial newspapers of the City of Gloversville. Mill Tanks Constructed. During 1907 and 1908 twenty-six tanks were built in conformity with the foregoing ordinance although many of them were completed and in use before the law was passed. The list in Table X indicates the tanneries at which tanks have been built, or which are provided for in common with others, together with the estimated quantity of refuse in gallons, the dimensions of the tanks, and their capacity when full to the elevation at which the water stands when the tanks are in use.

Several analyses have been made to show the character of Influent and effluent from tanks located at the various tanneries, the results o£ which are shown in Table XI. These analyses were made during August, September, and October, 1907, and the following spring. In most cases each of the samples was made up of 40 portions taken at intervals of fifteen minutes during the working day of ten hours. In all cases the oxygen consumed and suspended matter were determined, and in several of the samples, the nitrogen present as organic nitrogen, and as free ammonia, was also determined. The methods of analy- sis employed were the same as those used for analysis of sewage. In considering the results of the analyses of tank effluent, due allowance should be made for the tact that at some of the tanneries the tanks were nearly empty and therefore doing very good work, whereas at other mills the sludge had accumulated to such an extent that the efficiency of the set- tling tanks was low. » The strength of the influent and effluent from the different mill tanks varied greatly, that from the Filmer Bros, mill on August 23, 1907. being ex- tremely dilute, a marked exception to the wastes usually discharged from the tanneries. It will be seen that the carbonaceous organic matter present in these wastes as shown by Oxygen Consumed, varied from 14 to 1318 parts per million. Expressing this variation in another way, it appears that the carbonaceous organic matter in the influent of the Filmer Bros, tank on August 23, 1907, was about 1% of that present in the influent to the tank of Rogers & Smith on August 22, 1907. The most efficient sedimentation, as shown by Oxygen Consumed, appears to have taken place April 27, 1908, in the tank of Hall & .Johns where 72% of the carbonaceous matter was thus removed from the liquid wastes. The most important determination for showing the character of these wastes, as relating to their purification, is that of the suspended matter. As in the case of carbonaceous matter, it is found that solids in suspension vary greatly, ranging from 5 to 2740 parts per million. The most efficient sedi- mentation took place in the Bartlett tank, where 92% of the total suspended solids were removed, and 93% of the volatile suspended solids. The proportion of suspended matter which is made up of organic sub- stances is very variable In the different mill wastes. For the most part it appears that th« inorganic matter is not in excess of the organic matter, al- though there are a few exceptions to this statement. On the contrary, in several of the samples, the organic matter is found to be greatly in excess of the Inorganic matter,— as for example, in the influent to the Rogers & Smith tank, where about 83% of the suspended solids are organic In nature. The nitrogent present in the form of Free Ammonia is in most cases somewhat less In amount than that found in ordinary domestic sewage, al- though in a few cases it is rather higher in amount. There is in some cases a slight increase In the amount 'of Free Ammonia In the effluent over that present In the influent, indicating Some (slight septic action in the settling tanks. The amount of orgaiilc nitrogen in the influents is considerably in excess of the amount present in domestic sewage. That is as would be expected, and undoubtedly comes from the bits of flesh and the extracts from the hides. There is a marked feductton In the amount of orgaaic nitrogen in the efflu- 35 ents, Indicating that it was present largely in the form of suspended matter, and has been removed by sedimentation during the passage of the wastes through the tanks. In Table XII are shown the amounts of suspended matter retained in the various tanks, calculated from the analyses of Table XI. The great variation in the amount of suspended matter In the various mill wastes is quite appar- ent, and more correctly observed from this table than from Table XI of analy- ses, because the third, fourth and fifth columns take into account not only the strength of the liquors, but also their volume.

It appears from the figures given in Table XII, which unfortunately are based in most cases upon a single series of analyses, that the wastes contain a maximum of 115 tons of wet sludge per million gallons, and vary from that to an almost insignificant amount of 0.2 of a ton, or 400 pounds per million gallons. The several eflluents from the mill tanks vary nearly as widely in the amount of wet sludge contained, as do the influents to the tanks, the maxi- mum amount of 10% sludge being 65 tons per million gallons. The amount of sludge retained in the settling tanks, figured per million gallons of mill wastes, amounted to 95 tons in the case of the greatest amount removed. Several of the tanks have removed from 60 to 70 tons of sludge per million gallons. To make this subject more ea,slly understood. Table XIII has been pre- pared, showing the pounds per day of wet sludge present in the mill wastes ■, 36 the amount retained in tlie tanks; the amount escaping therefrom with the effluent; the amount which could under practical conditions be removed by the tanks; and .the corresponding amounts which would under those condi- tions pass out of the tanks with the effluents, together with the difference be- tween the amounts discharged under the conditions existing at the time the analyses were made and under the assumed conditions v/hich would make pos- sible a removal of 70% of the suspended matter. From Table XIII it appears that the maximum amount of sludge retained in any one mill tank, as shown by the analyses under discussion, was 8,260 pounds per day. Three of the tanneries retained from 3,000 to 3,500 pounds per day, while several others yielded 1,000 pounds. The total amount of sludge retained in the mill tanks was 25,783 pounds, whereas that carried out of the tanks in the effluent amounted to 22,494 pounds. Without doubt, this amount of solid matter escaping with the wastes can be greatly reduced by the proper cleaning and operation of the tanks. TABLE XIII.

At a very conservative estimate 70% of solid matter can be retained in the tanks, and thus prevented from entering the sewer and being carried to the purification works. Accordingly, columns 5 and 6 have been calculated upon this assumption. The total amount of sludge retained upon this basis would be 33,798 pounds per day, as against 25,983 pounds actually retained at the time the test analyses were made. This illustrates very clearly the advantage and the necessity of securing an efficient inspection and operation of the mill tanks. It appears from this same table that had the tanks main- tained an efficiency of 70% removal, the amount of suspended solids passing Into the trunk sewer with the various effluents, would have been reduced from 22,000 pounds per day to 14,000 pounds, — a difference of more than 8,000 pounds. It is not at all improbable that the efficiency of those tanks may be car- ried still higher than 70%, although for the purposes of this report the more conservative estimate has been used. As a matter of fact, some of the tanks have shown a much greater efficiency than 70% retained. It is quite likely that certain of the wastes are of such a character that an efficiency exceeding 70% cannot readily be realized, and that other wastes differing in quality caa readily yield an effluent containing perhaps not more than 5 or 10% of the suspended solid matter of the corresponding influent. The tanks have all been in use at least one year, and the results ob- tained have in several instances been quite disappointing. While, as already stated, it is entirely practicable to remove 70% of the suspended matters by means of these tanks, it is doubtful if the efficiency of the past year has averaged over EO per cent. In the winter much difficulty was experienced in removing the sludge, and even under the more favorable weather conditions of the remainder of the year, the work of cleaning has not generally been attended to with the promptness and care which is necessary to secure a reasonable degree of efficiency. Pew of those in authority at the several tan- neries realize the importance of prompt action, and after being notified of the necessity of immediate cleaning, at times allow as much as three weeks to elapse before beginning the work. Under good business conditions some of the tanks will fill with sludge in about three weeks, so that a delay of the kind cited lueans that a very large proportion of the solid matter of the mill wastes is being discharged into the sewers. This has happened to such an extent in at least one case that the connecting branch sewer, 18 inches in diameter, was completely blocked with solid matter. The tanks have been inspected from time to time and the owners noti- fied of the conditions found to exist. Inspection alone, however, will not keep the tanks in proper condition, and a genuine co-operation on the part of the proprietors of the tanneries is most essential to success. A Fixed Number of Parts per Million of Suspended Matter as the Proper Standard for the Effluents from Mill Settling Tanks. The discussion of the efficiency of the mill settling tanks has thus far been based largely upon the per cent, of suspended matter removed from the wastes during their passage through the tanks. While this method Is satis- factory for fixing a standard of efficiency of a given tank, it is not ^together 38 satisfactory as a method of establishing a standard for the quality of the effluents from the various tanks. Any standard based upon the per cent, of removal of suspended matter allows for wide fluctuations in the quantity of suspended matter in the several effluents according to the quantity present in the corresponding influents. If then it would be possible to fix upon a given number of parts per million as a standard for effluents, the results would be much better. With this standard it would be necessary that each mill so operate its tank as to secure a degree of efficiency which will assure an ef- fluent containing not over the standard number of parts of suspended matter. It would seem that a reasonable standard should correspond approximately with the number of parts of suspended matter in ordinary city sewage which does not receive industrial wastes. A fair standard upon this basis would be 300 parts per million of suspended matter, and it would seem that the City Council would be entirely justified in passing a resolution to the effect that no mill wastes should be turned into the sewers which contain more than 300 parts per million of suspended matter. Turning again to Table XI, it appears that in several cases the wastes from the various mills have been so reduced in suspended matter by means of the tanks that they would conform to this standard. Duplicate tests were made at several of the mills and in a number of these one of the tests has shown the suspended solids in the effluents to be as low as the standard. Such tests have proven that it is possible to reach the standard and in cases where it was not reached greater care in operation should have been exer- cised.

That collected in the tank of the Daniel Hays Company contains only 69% water, while that from Mills Bros.' tank contains 97%. This variation Is due in part to the length of time the sludge had been allowed to remain in the tank before sampling, and partly also to the char- acter of the trade wastes. In general those wastes containing a large pro- portion of lime are the most dense, while those containing large quantities of aluminum salts are of very light specific gravity. In general from 50% to 70% of the sludge consists of organic matter. In one case the proportion of organic matter was as high even as 92%, while in another case It was as low as 18%. There is comparatively little nitrogen in the sludge from these tanks, the proportion not varying widely from that found in ordinary sewage sludge. There was a very wide variation in the amount of fats contained in sludge, the highest being 32% while the lowest was 0.45%. This variation may be accounted for in part at least by a difference in the quality of the skins treated at the different tanneries. The sludge containing the highest amount was produced at a tannery at which buckskin is the only quality of lildes tanned. QUANTITY OF SEWAGE. The quantity of sewage discharged from the trunk sewer at the experi- ment station has been measured from February, 1908, to July 1, 1909. The 40 results of the measurements showing the average flow for each day, when the gage was in good working order, are given in Appendix B. In Table XV will be found the monthly averages of the daily flow of sew- age, together with various data coihpiled from the measurements which have been taken during the period of time covered by the experimental work.. The average daily flow has been 2.6 million gallons, while the average flow for week days has been 2.7 million gallons. The excess flow upon week days over that of Sundays and holidays, has been about 400,000 gallons. While the average flow has been but 2,600,000 gallons it is of importance to note that the .maximum flo^w for a single day has reached as high as 7,500,000 gallons, and that the maximum flow for one day has exceeded 5,000,000 gallons during five different months covered by the measurements.

The maximum flow for one whole day varies greatly from the average flow, and the maximum rate of flow during the day varies greatly from the average for the 24 hours. This is very clearly shown in the 8th column of Table XV, which shows that the maximum rate of flow has never fallen be- low 3,500,000 gallons and has been as high as 10,200,000 gallons. A maximum 'flow of 6,eO0;OOO gallons has been very common. The measurements of roaxi- 41 mum rate of flow Illustrate very forcibly, as do also those for the maximum flow for a single day, the effect of the admission of storm water to the sewers. Periods of High Flow of Sewage. In Table XVI have been compiled the number of consecutive days in each month during which measurements have been taken when the average flow for the day was in excess of the quantities specified. Prom this tabu- lation It appears that a rate of flow of 3,000,000 gallons or more may be ex- pected for about two weeks in March and a similar length of time in April, during ordinary years. It is also significant to note that the rate of flow was as high as 4,000,000 gallons for ten consecutive days in March and six consecutive days in April, 1908; while in 1909 this rate was equaled or ex- ceeded upon four days in March and ten days in April. Provision must there- fore be made to care for these large flows for a considerable length of time during the months of March and April. TABLE XVI.

TYPICAL HOURLY FLOW OF DOMESTIC SEWAGE AND MILL WASTES. In Table XVII have been compiled the results of gagings of the flow of sewage taken every fiftteen minutes throughout one day. Pour gagings have been combined each hour, representing the flow for that hour. It appears that during this typical period the flow of domestic sewage amounted to ap- proximately 1,485,000 gallons per day, while that from the tanneries amount- ed to 520,000 gallons, making the total daily flow of station sewage slightly over 2,000,000 gallons. Important data from thesg measurements may be tabulated as follows: 42 Domestic Sewage.

The variation in flow of mill wastes is large. The minimum flow is be- tween three and four o'clock in the morning, when it is 0.75 7o of the total flow for the day, while the maximum flow occurs between eleven and twelve ' o'clock in the forenoon and amounts to 8.68% of the total daily flow. The Increase in flow of mill sewage is most marked between seven and eight V o'clock in the morning, and thereis a decided reduction in flow between one and two o'clock in the afternoon. The decrease appears to be somewhat gradual between six and twelve o'clock in the evening. The flow of mill wastes for twelve hours from 6 a. m. to 6 p. m. amounts to 76.5% ot the total wastes for the day. It is interesting to note that the wastes from the mills are present in the sewage throughout the night and that they are present in considerable quantity between 6 and 12 p. m. The minimum proportion pres- ent at any time was 7.8% and the maximum was 40% of the total flow of domestic and mill sewage: 43 TABLE XVII.

While it would be desirable to have measurements covering a longer period of time, it is believed that the figures given represent fairly the respective flows for dry weather and ordi- nary conditions, but of course do not include the wastes from the mills of B.

M. _ l_i L In a general way, the quantity of mill wastes is sufficient to influence the proportionate hourly total flow at the station, although not suflScient to com- pletely control it. For example, the maximum rate of total flow for the day is between nine and ten o'clock in the forenoon, corresponding to the period of maximum flow of domestic sewage, whereas the maximum rate of flow of mill wastes is between eleven and^lweiye o'clock in the forenoon. The vari- ations in total flow, however, from nine o'clock until Ave o'clock are compara- tively small. The reduced rate of flow of wastes between one and two o'clock, corresjronding to and one hour later than the noon hour, is sfflcient to cause a marked reduction in the total flow during that same period of time. Diagram No. 1 shows the typical hourly quantity of sewage and is de- rived from Table XVII. The three lines on the diagram show respectively typical quantities of mill wastes, domestic sewage and domestic and mill sewage combined, for each hour of the day. Diagram No. 2, also made up from Table XVII, shows the ratio of the hourly rate of flow to the average rate of flow of domestic sewage, mill wastes and domestic and mill sewage combined. Diagram No. 3, shows the ratio of the quantity of mill wastes to the quantity of sewage for each hour of the day. From this diagram the gradual reduction of the proportion of mill wastes in the sewage during the evening and the marked and rapid decrease during the early morning hours, is readily seen. CHARACTER OF CRUDE SEWAGE. As has already been briefly explained, the character of the sewage of the City of Glovers ville is essentially different from that of most cities be- cause of the large proportion of the flow which consists of the refuse dis- charged into the sewers from the tanneries, hair, silk and knitting mills. At the present time, all of the tanneries, except those of E. W. Starr and S. H. Shotwell & Son (in part) are connected with the trunk sewer. The hair mill of E. S- Parkhurst & Co. has not yet been connected. The sewage received at the experiment station from the trunk sewer will hereinafter be termed "Station Sewage," and may be considered as fairly representing the character of the sewage which will ultimately be received at the disposal plant. The condition of business, as would be expected, has a marked efliect upon the character and quantity of mill refuse discharged into the sewers. This has been very noticeable during the past year, when business has been comparatively quiet. For that reason,, the quantity and strength of the sew- age as shown by analyses and measurements reported at this time may be somewhat below the average for the same population and industries for fu- ture years. The connection of the tanneries and hair mill, not now contributing to the flow, will increase the daily quantity of sewage received in dry weather by about 315,000 gallons, or about 15%. These wastes will contain comparative- ly large amounts of lime and calcium sulphate, resulting from the use of sul- phuric acid in the process of recovering and cleaning the hair. It is not be- lieved, however, that they will materially change the character of the sewage Daily Variation in Character of Sewage. One of the early studies undertaken at the laboratory was that of the 45 variation in the character of sewage from day to day. A series of samples was takin and analyses made to show the composition of sewage during the month of November, 1907. Included In this study were three of each of the days of the week,— for example, three Mondays, three Tuesdays, etc. Table XVIII gives the results of analyses showing the average quality of sewage for each day m the week, as well as the average of analyses for the entire period and the average of the analyses for week days. The results of the Individual analyses are also given. The samples analyzed were each made up of 96 portions taken through- out 24 hours, thus forming composite dally samples. The samples were taken from the sew6r at a point near the station. As Is natural, the average analyses of Sunday sewage show It to be more dilute than Is that of any other day in the week. The total organic nitrogen in the sewage on Sunday was found to be 6.8 parts, while during the week it varied from 14 to 18 parts. This increase on week days Is doubtless due in part at least to the mill wastes. The effect of the mill wastes upon the proportion of suspended to dis- solved organic nitrogen, is clearly shown by the averages for Sunday and for the week days, the respective amounts upon the latter being practically the same,, whereas the average tor Sunday shows the amount dissolved to be only one-half as much as that In suspension. There is co.mparatively little difference In the amount of free ammonia found in Sunday sewage and in sewage of the other days of the week. In fact, the tendency is toward a greater quantity of free ammonia on Sunday than during the other days. This Is explained by the fact that the mill wastes are comparatively low in free ammonia, while domestic sewage contains a considerable amount of it. If therefore follows that a given amount of demes- tic sewage, containing a certain definite quantity of free ammonia, when di luted with mill wastes containing smaller quantities, will produce a total flow with smaller quantities than would be present it the sewage were undiluted with mill wastes. While the domestic sewage may contain more free am- monia upon week days than upon Sundays, this difference is not sufficient to offset the diluting effect of the mill wastes. The fact that nitrites and nitrates were present in all samples is worthy of note, as indicating that the sewage was in what might be termed a fresh condition. This is probably due to two causes, namely, — First; that the sewage finds its way quickly through the system of sewers and the Intercepting sewer to the Experiment Station; Second; that the chemicals contained In the mill wastes have a cer- tain preservative effect upon the sewage, thus preventing decomposition. The presence of some septic action, as indicated by the evolution of gas, has been frequently noted in some of the mill tanks. The natural result of such action, if at all general and abundant, would be to increase the amount of tree ammonia and decrease the amount of nitrites and nitrates in the tank wastes. This action, however, appears to be only slight, and the compara- tively small quantity of free ammonia in the mill wastes and the presence of nitrites and nitrates in the sewage at the station, indicate that there undoubt- edly is a preservative and sterilizing action upon the sewage due to chemi- cals discharged from the tanneries. The sewage is, however, received in fresh condition. Its time of flow through the intercepting sewer being but about 30 46 Missing Page mlmites, and e4. there are no very long branch sewers, the period of flow through them would also be short. The differences in the amounts of nitrites and nitrates found upon dif- ferent days of the week are so small as not to be significant. The amount of carbonaceous organic matter, as represented by oxygen consumed, appears to be much greater upon week days than holidays, that present on Sundays being only 40 7o of that present upon the average on wed* days. The fluctuation in amount during the week, however, does not appear to be great,— the average varying from 68 on Thursdays to 82 on Saturdays. It is interesting to note that the proportion of dissolved and suspended carbonaceous matter on Sundays and on week days is practically the same, and that the amount dissolved is practically equal to the amount in suspen- sion. The increased amount of, carbonaceous matter present upon week days over that present upon Sundays, is readily explained by the presence of the mill wastes. The great difference existing between the amount of chlorine present upon Sundays and upon week days, was to be expected, and is easily ex- plained by the fact that large quantities of salt are used with the chemicals in the dehairing process to protect the grain of the leather. The quantity of suspended matter present in the sewage upon week days is much more than that found upon Sundays, a natural result of the discharge of mill wastes, although the quantity of solid matter depends much upon the efiiciency of the mill tanks. The proportion of organic and inorganic mat- ter as shown by the volatile and fixed suspended matter present upon Sun- days, and upon week days, varies considerably; the ratio of mineral matter to organic matter upon Sundays v/as found to be 20.5%, while upon week days it was 40%. Th's doub'less resulted from the large amount of inorganic chem- icals present in the mill wastes, such as lime, alum, etc. These chemicals would tend to increase the proportion of inorganic matter, while upon Sunday they are absent and the sewage is practically all domestic sewage, the pro- portion of mineral matter would be comparatively small. There is free lime present in the sewage at practically all times except upon Sundays and holidays, although during the latter part of the night the quantity is comparatively small. Even on Sundays there is occasionally pres- ent an excess of free lime, although usually there is a slight excess of free carbonic acid. The amount of tats present upon week days, is just about double that present in Sunday sewage. This is a natural consequence of the treatment of the skins although domestic sewage might also be expected to be slightly higher in fat during week days than upon Sundays. In general as in most cities, the sewage is more dilute upon Sundays than UDon the other days of the week, but on the other hand, it Is not marked- iv ..troneer upon Mondays or upon Saturdays as is frequently the case with orrtinarv city sewage. Even the fats are not materially higher upon Monday Hi th are upon Tuesday or Wednesday, and are substantially the same as than "^"^^ Tjjgge conditions show that the mill wastes are present in "^ffi^ient quantity to nearly if not quite obscure the fluctuations in the qual- ity o'f the domestic sewage. 47 Hourly Variation in Character of Crude Sewage. To determine the fluctuations in the quality of the sewage received at the station from hour to hour throughout the day and to compare these fluctua- tions for the different days of the week, a series of analyses was made in November, 1907. Samples of sewage were collected each hour during the day and analyzed as soon as possible after collection. The study was started by collecting the samples for Monday and all were analyzed before the following Wednesday. Upon Tuesday of the second week, samples were taken and all were analyzed before the following Thursday. In this way the work was con- tinued until complete hourly analyses had been made upon samples for each o£ the seven days of the week. Tables XIX to XXV show very clearly and in great detail the variation in the character of the sewage from hour to hour throughout the 24 hours of each day in the week. While the variation in the strength of the sewage fol- lows in a general way the usual rule for variation in the quality of sewages, the excess between the hours of 6 a. m. and 7 p. m. over that of the remainder of the day is more marked than usual, obviously on account of the large pro- portion of mill wastes. The hourly fluctuations as shown by the individual chemical determin- ations may be more easily studied from Diagrams 4-9 than from the tables. These diagrams show the composition of the sewage on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the other days of the week having been omitted from the diagrams because the figures did not vary materially from the other week days, and on account of the complication caused by so many lines. A mere .glance at these diagrams is sufflcient to show the very dilute and comparatively uniform character of the sewage between the hours of 12 night and 6 a. m. and to show the marked increase in strength from 6 to 8 a. m. In some cases the maximum strength Is reached at 8 a. m., although in others is is not reached until 10 a. m. There is in most cases a .marked reduction in strength immediately following the maximum strength. This reduction usually takes place about the middle of the fore- noon and is followed by a rise, though not to the maximum, just prior to noon, say, at 11 or 12 o'clock. This rise is again followed by a .marked decrease following the noon hour, which is in turn followed by an increase in strength, the high point of the afternoon usually being at 3 or 4 o'clock, from which time there is a gradual decrease until about 10 o'clock when some of the de- terminations show a slight increase for an hour or two. The .maximum amount of impurities as shown by the different determi- nations does not in all cases come at the same hour of the day, — for example, on Monday the total organic«>nitrogen was high at 9 o'clock, while the free ammonia was high at 8 o'clock, the total oxygen consumed at 9 o'clock, the chlorine at 11 o'clock, the total suspended matter at 11 o'clock and the alka- linity at 9 o'clock. The hours at which the analyses show the various determinations to be highest on each of the seven days of the week, are shown in the following table: 48 TABLE XIX.

The sewage was found to be most strongly alkaline in the forenoon upon five daws of the week, at noon upon Tuesday, and at 4 p. m. upon Wednesday. While the variations in the time of maximum strength as shown by the various determinations were considerable, it was generally found that the sewage was strongest between the hours of 8 a. m. and 5 p. m. Practically the only exception to this rule was in the cases of nitrites and nitrates which were almost invariably present in greatest amounts between 6 p. m. and 5 a. m. The nitrites were present in greatetst amounts between 6 p. m. and 11 p. m., the maximum amount being found very uniformly at about 10 p. m. The nitrates were generally present In maximum amount at about mid- night. As already explained, the presence in large quantities of nitrites and nitrates at these hours is due to the fact that the proportion of ground water to the sewage is much greater during the night. The sewage appears to be very dilute between 1 and 6 o'clock a. m. Dur- ing these hours it is scarcely more polluted than many brooks running through agricultural communities, although the presence of fairly large amounts of nitrates and chlorine show that the water in the sewers strongly resembles water which has at some time been polluted but by its passage through the ground has become to some extent purified; in other words, the water flow- ing at night has the appearance of being ground water from a thickly popu- lated community. Character of Sewage as Shown by Daily Analyses. Analyses of station sewage were made daily from the 26th of May, 1908, to the 30th of June, 1909, inclusive. Only a few analyses were made in May, 1908, and on that account too much value should not be attached to the aver- age results for that month. The results of these analyses, given in detail in Appendix D, can, on ac- count of the great mass of figures, be best studied from the averages given in Table XXVII. The individual analyses, however, show the wide fluctua- tions in the quality of sewage from day to day, and also the effect of storm water. An illustration of the wide fluctuation in results is shown by the analyses of July 18 and 19. Upon the former day the total suspended matter amounted to 898 parts, while upon the latter day it had dropped to 182 parts. This great fluctuation is explained by the facts that the 19th, upon which the sewage was comparatively weak, fell upon Sunday, and that there was con- .siderable rain on the 18th. The marked effect of storm water upon the composition of the sewage is clearly shown by the analyses of June 4 and 5, 1909. Upon the latter day rain was falling for practically 24 hours, and the flow increased from 2.1 mil- lion gallons on the former day to 2.8 gallons upon the latter day, an increase of about 31%. This storm water came from the roofs of houses connected with .tiie sewers, from. streets still connected to the sewer system, and from some of the mill tanks which are so located and constructed as to allow con- siderable water to flow from the surface of. the ground into them. The water irom these .various sources, particularly from the street surfaces and from mill yards, carried with It comparatively large quantities of suspended mat- 57 ter which materially increased the amount of suspended matter in the sew- age upon the 5th of June over that contained in the sewage upon the day previous. The increase in strength is shown by the following tabulation: June 4th. June 5th. Increase. Total Suspended Solids 312 622 166% Volatile " " 196 254 73% Fixed - 116 368 324% While the amount of suspended matter in the sewage upon the rainy day was very much greater than upon the fair day, the difference in the analyses did not fairly represent the total increase in suspended matter delivered at the experiment station because there was, in addition to the increased strength of the sewage, an increased flow. The last column in the foregoing table takes into account the increase in flow as well as the increase in im- purities, and shows that there was an increase of 166% in the amount of im- purities delivered at the station during the 24 hours of the 5th of June, proba- bly almost wholly due to the effect of the storm water. The impurities car- ried by the water running over the surface of the ground are very largely of a mineration nature, as is demonstrated by the analyses which show an increase in organic matter of 73%, while there was an increase in mineral matter of 324%. This single illustration of the effect of storm water upon the composition and flow of the sewage clearly shows the great importance of preventing the admission of storm water to the sewers, and gives an idea of the additional burden which will be placed upon the sewage disposal plant if storm water is allowed to enter. While the effect of summer showers and many times of protracted rains during the spring, summer oi autumn, will be to produce a sewage contain- ing an unusually large amount of suspended matter, yet some- storms and particularly the water from melting snow in the spring of the year will cause the sewage to be quite dilute. The accumulation of filth upon the surface of the streets and about various mill yards reaching the sewers with storm water, may cause an increased strength of sewage, even at times when the snow is melting, but in general the high flows of spring will be accompanied by dilute sewage. The effect of ground water will usually be to cause a dilute sewage and at seasons when large quantities of ground water find their way into the sewers, the sewage will generally be correspondingly dilute. Table XXVII is a compilation of the monthly averages of all regular daily analyses of station sewage made during the period covered by the experi- ments and includes also the weighted average of the analyses. This table is therefore based upon about 400 separate analyses. These analyses Indicate that the character of the sewage on the average throughout the 24 hours of the day, and throughout the entire month, is simi- lar to that of city sewage containing manufacturing waste, although it is very strong, containing an unusual amount of chlorine and is exceptionally alka- Ime in reaction. In considering these analyses, it should be borne in mind that the mill tanks were almost all in operation during the period covered and that a very large proportion of the impurities which would otherwise have found their way into the sewage were retained in these tanks. The effect of the mill settling tanks upon the composition of the sewage has been very pronounced. The character of the sewage has been greatly tro^^ff ^FJ^f^^.°^ *^®'^ ^^°^'' without which it would have been ex- r^anf. o *! 71^""^ expensive to purify. About 50% of the nitrogenous ^vv^Pn l^L? t^e.«:arbonaceous matter, as shown by organic nitrogen and oxygen consumed, is in suspension. 58 Of the suspended matter substantially 60% is organic. This proportion corresponds quite closely with that found in ordinary city sewage, especially with sewages containing more or less manufacturing wastes. u G) % V CO c o (0 — Dl > WW V V >- ii si IS - 3 U •jCBa aad BuoiiBf) UOHIIH 'uouB^s )B p8Aiao3H eSB -ja.as JO jCinu^nb SiB^ ppv oiuoqaBO paAiossig uaSjfxo S 00 ^0 }o suijax UJ X;iUII'EJ[IV THCOOSOOOOiOOO^ffqoJOOOOlM rOCqiHffQrHi-ir-trHfMIMCOCOIMcq ^JOOtHtHOOOOOOOOC-OS ?QMlOTHOOfHOOOa30iTHm t I lrHC0X COiHirSOOOOOC— OSOMiniAQO mOOOOiOiHOOOOSi-tOOOOO^lO^ se^-Bj^iN sa;u;TM ■Bfuoinniv u3C:-OC<100(NICOfOOOOU300 OOOOOOOOrHi— IrHrHr-tO Tj^COi-IC^WMCOCslCO'^mt-tO'^ oooooooooooooo t— oot-ooooooooooo pepuadstig paAXOssiQ mox '»a -290 '^™9X ct3 P 0>-^OOOOOCr-OOCSOOO 1 O irscqocooMcqcxjasoiooocoua i i-t iHOt-OOOOOOOWSOOO ^ ^ ^ rH iH r^ rH 1-* iH iH OOC0OOOOt-OO"*OOO 59 It is Important to note that during September, October and November, when the sewage contained only a moderate amount of storm or ground water, dissolved oxygen was present upon nearly all occasions. (Prior to September 21, the dissolved oxygen was not determined) . The fact that dis- solved oxygen, nitrites, and nitrates, are present so large a proportion of the time, is another indication that the sewage is rather more stable than ordinary city sewage. This is particularly significant in view of the fact that all of the mill wastes pass through tanks containing sludge before being discharged into the sewer. This sludge, as has already been pointed out, has undergone more or less decomposition, and unless the wastes were more stable in composition than ordinary domestic sewage, the dissolved oxygen would probably be entirely used up, not only in the mill wastes themselves, but also in the domestic sewage flowing in the trunk sewer. Composition of Sffwage Compared with that of Other Cities. In Table XXVIII are given the average results of analyses of sewage from various cities and towns, by means of which it is possible to make a comparison of the quality of that received at the experiment station in Glov- ersville with that received at the experiment stations at Columbus, Ohio, Boston, Mass., and Waterbury, Conn., and also with that received at the sewage disposal plants at Worcester, Brockton, and fifteen other cities and towns in Massachusetts. Prom this table it appears that there is about twice as much nitrogenous organic matter in the sewage of Gloversville as in that of Columbus or Waterbury. It is also significant that while Free Ammonia in the sewage at Gloversville is as high as that of Columbus and Waterbury, it is much lower than that of Worcester, Brockton, or the average of all the other Massachusetts cities. This is doubtless due to the dilution of the do- mestic sewage with tannery wastes, which are low in Free Ammonia, — a con- dition previous pointed out. 60 <0 > m X o CO III n -J 01 < < 1- o > < d o s a t. a!

The Total Suspended Matter found at Gloversvllle Is twice as high as that of Columbus, Waterbury, or the fifteen cities in Massachusetts, although not as great as that of the City of Brockton. In this connection It should be stated that the sewage of the City of Brockton is one of the strongest sewages, analyses of which are available for comparison. In general it may be stated that the sewage of Gloversvllle, even when the mill settling tanks are in operation, is fully twice as strong as that which has been experimented with at the various experiment sta- tions, and with the exception of Brockton, fully twice as strong as that which is actually treated at a large number of sewage disposal works in Massachu- setts. Character of Sewage received between 7:00 a. m. and 6:00 p. m. While there are small quantities of mill wastes discharged throughout the night, the marked effect of the tannery waste becomes apparent soon after 7 o'clock in the morning, and continues until 9 or 10 o'clock in the even- ing, although there is a gradual reduction in the amount after 6 o'clock. Some light is thrown on the effect of mill wastes upon the character ot the sewage by the analyses recorded In Table XXIX. Unfortunately the analyses for the 24-hour and the 10-hour periods were not made upon sam- ples taken upon the same days, although the general conditions were the same during both periods, and they are sufficiently close together In point of time, so that they probably fairly closely represented the character of the sewage received during the latter part of 1907 and the early part of 1908. From these analyses, it appears that the station sewage throughout the twenty-four hours contains only about 63% as much Organic Nitrogen as dur- ing the 10-hour period of the working day. A similar comparison shows only 63% as much Suspended Matter during the 24-hour period as during the 10-hour period. 62 >> n Q □> c cc « i| to « o c '- O -D ^ s 0) re > < X X 111 < I- ^-^ >, d ^ rH O days day. 7 M. o day. 7 M. Dec Jan. 31, ^ u a t-3 o 1-t z Q 63 Effect of Incubating Samples of Station Sewage. One of the difficulties in the way of satisfactory treatment of the Glov- ersville sewage, and one which has always been borne in mind, is that caused by the presence of chemicals in the mill wastes, and the general antiseptic character and stability of these wastes. To throw some light in a general way upon the degree of putrescibllity, or in other words, the rapidity with which the sewage would undergo decomposition, a series of tests was made to determine the change in chemical composition caused by submitting sam- ples to a period of incubation. The samples collected were held in glass bottles at room temperature, averaging perhaps 70°P, during periods varying from 6 to 12 days. All of the samples were composed of portions taken every fifteen min- utes from 7:15 a. m. to 6:45 p. m. and were colored with mill wastes and the color persisted in all throughout the experiment, except those which were highly putrescible, which turned black. The results of the analyses made before and after incubation, together with the percent of increase or decrease in the various determinations, are given in Table XXX. From these analyses it appears that the change due to bacterial action is material but does not appear to be much greater in 12 days than in 6 days. The decrease in amount of organic nitrogen varied from 16 to 52% during the period of incubation, and there was a corresponding increase in Free Ammonia of from 7 to 150%. The putrefactive processes were sufficient in almost all cases to eliminate the nitrites, and in all cases the nitrates. There was a material transformation in the carbonaceous organic matter as indicated by Oxygen Consumed, which decreased in the incubated sample by from 18 to 37%. 64 cs O Q M u a (D *: ^ 111 o L 3 tS X 5 2 C X X o (0 u □. > I[l lU o J O) H o m US E o o DC < 5 CO a IS o -♦J m (0 0) >< CIS Q < a o _ u nj w % •noui a9}}B •nouj 9J0J9q tH CO CO tH cot>*c[>-ONOOCO int-t- ^-^THcoursoi rH T-t tH T-H tH C<]OU3COCOOO^C350CO ^HTHO^OOC^iHCtiOOOOOO coMiocct-MmcJsloo ^COCOrH-^lOCOCq-'J'CO C'rHOOOt*<©C.

During the afternoon the screen re- quired cleaning several times but during the night it was not found necessary to clean it at all. In this connection it should be remembered that the sew- age is received in a very fresh condition and that little opportunity is af- forded for the mechanical or chemical disintegration of the large solid mat- ters, which is so effective in many other cities where the conditions are very different. An average of about 30 pounds of screenings were removed from each million gallons of sewage screened. The screenings were sampled each day and found to consist of 17% dry solid matter and 83% water. The dry solids contained 79% volatile or organic matter and 21% of mineral or inorganic matter. Conclusions from Tests. It is apparent from the tests which have been made that if screens are to be used they will require the services of an attendant during the greater part of the working day or the work must be done by automatic mechanical devices. In view of the fact that any preliminary process which may be adopted will involve the use of tanks it is believed that thorough screening is not only unnecessary but should be avoided as involving additional and useless expense, only such screening being done as may be necessary to pro- tect valves and machinery. The quantity of screenings removed from the sewage would have no material effect upon the quantity of sludge or the ex- pense of dealing with It. RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS WITH GRIT CHAMBER. The usual object of constructing Grit Chambers in connection with sew- age disposal plants is to collect the coarse and heavy particles carried by the sewage which would otherwise be carried into septic tanks or sedimentation basins. Such substances find their way into systems of combined sewers during storms and are largely of a mineral nature. Where, as in the case of Gloversville, separate drains are provided for storm water, very little if any road detritus finds Its way into the sewers. On the other hand, much of the refuse from the tanneries is of a very heavy nature and the large quantities of lime If discharged into the trunk sewer might form deposits in septic tanks or sedimentation basins which could be removed from Grit Chambers more economically. It was to determine the necessity for such chambers that the experimental grit chamber was provided. A Grit Chamber was accordingly built as already described in detail, and was operated from May 26, 1908, until the end of the following July. The re- sults of daily analyses of sewage leaving the grit chamber are recorded in Appendix E. The amount of suspended matter removed by the grit chamber as orig- inally constructed was very large and consequently the amount of material subject to bacterial action which entered the septic tank was much less than If. the sewage did not first pass through this chamber. For these reasons the chamber was modified about August 1st, since which time analyses of the effluent have been discontinued. The amount of sludge collected by and re- moved from the remodelled Grit Chamber, has been measured and weighed 69 but the quantity was so very small in relation to the flow that the effect upon the analyses was Immaterial and therefore the quantities are not given. The quantities of susr ended matter removed from the sewage during its passage through the chamber as originally constructed, amounted to 43.6% and 35.6% during June and July respectively. Various data relating to the operation of the Grit Chamber and classi- fied according to the periods ot operation between cleanings, are presented in the following table: TABLE XXXIII.

From the investigation made it appears that from 1.1 cubic yards to 2.8 cubic yards of sludge were produced by and removed from the grit chamber during each of the several periods of its operation. It was found necessary to remove the sludge from the chamber at least once in each month. The sludge removed was exceedingly offensive and of a character repre- sented by the following analysis : TABLE XXXIV. Analysis of Sludge Removed from Grit Chamber. Specific Gracity 1.023 Tone of Sludge per mil. gals 0.94 Water 92% Solids 8% Volatile Matter 51% Calculated in Nitrogen 2.5% Dried Plats 2.6% Sample. The sludge did not appear to differ materially from that collected in the septic and sedimentation tanks. There was not a large excess of sand, lime or other mineral matters. Conclusions as to Its Usefulness. The effect of a grit chamber in withholding a large proportion of the sus- pended matters of the sewage from the septic tank is to greatly reduce the material available for bacterial action and consequently to reduce the amount of such action and the amount of benefit derived therefrom should such action and the amount of benefit derived therefrom should such action be beneficial. Undoubtedly among the matters retained In the grit chamber is a large pro- portion of those which are most likely to assist In the formation, of scum. 70 The grit chamber may be beneficial in withholding such matters provided a scum Is undesirable and on the other hand if it is advisable to form a scum on the surface of the water, the action of the grit chamber is likely to be detrimental. "Where sedimentation is the preparatory method of treatment there seems to be little reason for removing a large proportion of the sludge by means of a grit chamber when the sludge which accumulates in such a chamber is of a character nearly identical with that found in the sedimentation basin. Experience with the experimental chamber indicates that during the periods, of its operation in its original form the sludge at the time of removal was exceedingly offensive. This fact has also been demonstrated on a large scale by grit chambers at other places, notably those connected with the dis- posal plant of the City of Worcester, Mass. If the velocity of flow through the chambers is increased, as was done by remodeling the experimental pdant, so as to prevent the sedimentation of the organic matters and retain simply the very coarse particles and heavy min- eral matters, the amount of material removed from the sewage of Glovers- ville will be very small. The amount of such material removed from the chamber after the alterations were made was approximately 0.6 of a cubic foot per million gallons of sewage passing through the chamber. It is ap- parent that this quantity is insignificant and if not retained in a grit chamber,, would not in any way interfere with the successful action and operation either of septic tanks or of sedimentation basins. The material which was deposited in the remodelled chamber was not of a particularly offensive nature and n& diflSculty would be anticipated in disposing of it on a large scale if for any reason a grit chamber should be found to be a desirable feature of the pro- posed plant. These experiments have proven that the construction of grit chambers as a feature of the proposed sewage disposal works, is unnecessary providing that suitable settling tanks are constructed and efficiently maintained at the vari- ous tanneries and mills producing wastes containing suspended matter. If such tanks cannot be efficiently maintained, grit chambers would very likely be of material advantage in the operation of the plant. The results of this part of the investigation are particularly interesting as demonstrating that a certain portion of the sewage disposal plant which might otherwise have been built, can be omitted. EXPERIMENTS WITH SEPTIC TREATMENT. .Preliminary tests of the susceptibility of this sewage to bacterial action, were made as already described, by incubating certain samples of sewage for varying periods of time. These tests indicated that under suitable conditions the chemical character of the sewage underwent considerable change due to growth and life processes of bacteria. Such bacteriological tests as have been made have confirmed the conclu- sions drawn from the preliminary incubation tests and chemical analyses and indicate that the changes which the sewage will undergo In the septic tank, are in a general way similar in nature to those which are generally found to take place when domestic or city sewage of ordinary quality is passed through such tanks, The septic tank was put into use on April 27, 1908, and has been operated almost continuously from that time until July 6, 1909. 71 Period of Operation and Rate of Flow. The time during whicti this tanli: has been in operation may logically be divided into five periods. The limits of these periods, the number of days ncluded in each, the rate of flow in hours, and the calculated velocity of flow, are given in the following table: TABLE XXXV.

Undoubtedly the low temperatures of the winter had a decided retarding ef- fect upon fermentation in the tank. The effect of the cold weather, together with the sterilizing action of the chemicals frogi the mills, caused bacterial activity to be reduced to such an extent that the work of the septic tank com- pared closely with that accomplished by plain sedimentation. The loss of heat in passing through the septic tank was very slight, averaging about one degree during the winter months. TABLE XXXVII. Temperature of Sewage and Septic Effluent. (Degrees Fahrenheit) Month. Sewage. Septic Effluent. November 52 51 December 49 48 January 47 46 February 46 45 March 45 44 The most noteworthy result of passing the sewage through the septic tank was the reduction of the amount of impurities due essentially to sedi- mentation. The total organic nitrogen was reduced on the average over 43%. The quantity of Free Ammonia in the effluent was generally slightly greater than in the crude sewage, the increase on an average being 16.7 per- cent. This increase, although small, was clearly indicative of septic action, knd it therefore appears that during practically no portion of the. time has the tank been entirely free from such action. It is important to note that when there was marked septic action, as during the months of September and October, there was a much greater increase in the quantity of Free Am- monia, the average increase for the month of September being 33J%. Nitrites and Nitrates have been present in the effluent throughout the experiments indicating that there has not been sufficient septic action to use up the oxygen combined In this form. When septic action was most marked the quantity of Nitrites and Nitrates was only slight, but they increased with the advent of colder weather so that during the winter months they were present in comparatively large quantities. The determination of Oxygen Consumed shows a reduction in the amount of carbonaceous matter present in the sewage. The reduction was not as 75 great as in the case of the nitrogenous substances, being only 39% as com- pared with 43.5%. Of the suspended matters In the sewage 69% of those of organic nature and 83.5% of those of an inorganic nature were retained in the tank. Witli the increase in the amount of septic action, beginning in August, 1908, there was a marked increase in the amount of suspended matter in the effluent This was due to the action ot the gas bubbles in stirring up the sludge and sewage. The finely divided sludge thus distributed through the sewage was carried out of the tank with the effluent and into the filters. An eftort was made early in December by remodeling the tank to prevent so large an amount of suspended matter from escaping. Unfortunately it was necessary to clean the tank before the alterations could be made, and consequently the cause of the greatly increased efficiency of the tank in this respect could not be definitely ascertained. It is quite probable, however, that the modification of the tank did little good because of the lack of active fermentation making unnecessary the precautions taken to prevent the escape of suspended mat- ter. This conclusion is borne out by the fact that the amount of suspended matter in the effluent from the sedimentation tank, upon which no altera- tions were made, was practically the same during the winter as was that in the effluent from the septic tank. The results of the experiments indicate that with tanks designed to re- duce the amount of suspended matter in the effluent as much as possible, and with these tanks operated in the most careful and scientific manner, it would be impossible to produce an effluent containing on the average at most 90 parts per million of suspended solids. It may be possible that under the most favorable conditions the suspended solids might even be reduced to 80 parts per million. It is, however, very doubtful if such satisfactory results can be obtained from large tanks operated under ordinary conditions. Com- paring these figures with the results obtained with experimental tanks at Lawrence, Mass., and Columbus, Ohio, and with the large tanks at Worcester, Mass., it appears that it will be very difficult to reduce the suspended matter in the sewage at Gloversville by septic treatment to a point as low as that in the effluents at Lawrence or Columbus (with the exception of Tanks D and E at the latter place). On the other hand, it would appear probable that with large tanks the suspended matter may be reduced somewhat lower than was found to be the case with the large tanks at Worcester. The following figures, with those in Table XXXVI, make possible this interesting comparison: Parts per Million. Susp. Matter; Dry Solids. Worcester, Mass.

During the four winter months December to March inclu- sive, when there was very little septic action, there was a slight reduction in alkalinity, while for the month of April it was the same in the effluent and sewage, and during the months of May and June' there was again an increase. The average for the entire year was 5.5% higher in the septic effluent than in the sewage while during August there was an increase of 36.2%. The in- crease or decrease in alkalinity appeared to correspond in general with the intensity of septic action. The dissolved oxygen which was almost universally present in the sew- age, disappeared entirely during its passage through the tank when there was active fermentation. There was, however, a marked increase in the amount present in the effluent over that present in the sewage during the latter part of the fall and the amount remained comparatively uniform at from 3 to 4 parts during the winter. During June. 1909. the tank treatment effected a marked decreased indicating that septic action was again in- creasing, although yet feeble. The effect of temperature in retaring the bacterial activity as shown by the chemical analyses, is illustrated by the different curves of Diagram 10. While the increase in dissolved axygen and nitrates corresponds closely- with the reduction in temperature of the sewage, it is important to note that it corresponds also with the increase in the quantity of sewage, which increase is due to the discharge of surface and ground water into sewers. The analyses which covered the period of thirteen months indicate that bacterial action is always going on in the septic tank but that such action is at no time as vigorous as is found under similar conditions with domestic sewage. The increase in free ammonia and the decrease in nitrites, nitrates, and dissolved oxygen all follow in fairly close manner the action going on in the tank as indicated by the formation of gas, scum. etc. While the cleaning of the tank in December was unfortunate, it is believed that the results of the winter's work have not been materially different from the results which would have been obtained had the sludge not been removed from the tank. There was almost a negligible change in the quality of the sewage due to bacterial action during the winter and early spring. In the .month of June, 1909, however, there was a marked change in the amount of dissolved oxy- gen in the effluent and after the 22d, it was found to be entirely exhausted, although always present in the crude sewage, at the same time there was a marked increase in the amount of free ammonia. The indications are, there- fore, that septic action will become vigorous during the summer and fall of the present year as it did during the summer and fall of 1908. Sludge Retained by Septic Tanl<. The removal of suspended matter from the sewage by sedimentation being an important function of the septic tank, it naturally follows that the study of the suspended matters thus removed and accumulated in the tank, is of much Importance. It was believed when these experiments were begun that a large amount of sludge would be produced, which prophecy has been fulfilled. The sludge showed from time' to time the effects of septic action. The evidence of such action was naturally much greater during that portion of the time when fermentation was most active. At such times there was a tendency for the sludge to become distributed over the bottom of the tnak 77 in a layer of fairly uniform thickness throughout its length. At times when there was little septic action there was a decided accumulation at or near the inlet end of the tank, with a corresponding reduction in depth toward the outlet end. There was never sufficient septic action to cause the sludge to become generally disintegrated and finely divided. Coarser particles and fibrous matter were always in evidence in the first and second compartments, although in the third and fourth compartments, especially during the period of active fermentation, the sludge was more finely divided and showed marked evidence of disintegration due to septic action. The sludge always had an offensive odor although the characteristic odors of the tannery refuse were never entirely obliterated. . The coarser and more fibrous sludge which was retained in the first and second compartments was usually of a grayish color, while the more finely divided sludge from the third and fourth compartments was generally black. The consistency of the sludge in the first and second compartments was such that it could not be readijy pumped without the addition of considera- ble water. After draining for a short time it was of such a nature that it could be forked or shoveled. The sludge from the third and fourth compart- ments was of such a consistancy that it could generally be pumped without great difficulty. It is quite probable that the difference in the physical condi- tion of the suspended matter in the sludge was partly responsible for tlie apparent difference in its consistency. In other words the coarse and fibrous material collected in the first and second compartments doubtless offered greater resistance to pumping than the more finely divided materials in the other compartments. The proportion of solid matter in the sludge, as will be seen from the further discussion of this subject, was usually noticeably great- er in the first compartment than in the others. The results of the various measurements and analysis of the sludge are given in Table XXXVIII. Volume of Sludge Produced from Month to Month. The volume of sludge produced during the different months of operation varied from 4.1 cubic yards per million gallons of sewage passing through the tank to 7.3 cubic yards. The relative quantity of sludge produced during the period of active fer- mentation was less than that produced earlier in the life of the tank or dur- ing the winter and spring of 1909 when very little septic action was evident It is true that a part of the suspended matter of the sewage escaped with the effluent during the period of greatest activity and that in part accounts for the reduced volume of sludge formed during that time. It is doubtless also true that a part ot the reduction was due to fermentation. It is inter- esting to note that the minimum production of sludge was at the rate of 4.1 cubic yards per million gallons, while the maximum rate of production dur- ing the winter was 6.1 and from June 12 to July 6, 1909, it was 7.3 cubic yards. The sludge produced during this, last period was, however, comparatively light. In other words, nearly twice as great a volume of sludge was pro- duced during the early summer of 1909 as during September and November when the fermentation was at its maximum. Density of Sludge. At the various times when the sludge was examined it was found to vary in density from 82% water on June 3, and 12, 1909, to 93% water on 7S August 26, 1908. The sludge produced during the spring of 1909 was very heavy, the maximum weight per cubic yard being 1898 pounds, while the minimum weight, found on August 26, was 1721 pounds per oubic yard. The specific gravity of the sludge varied from 1.02 to 1.13. Volume and Analyses of Sludge Removed from Tank.

The tank could have heen run somewhat later than December 3, without cleaning, although it would not have been possible to have continued operations through the winter, with- out removing the sludge. It would, therefore, seem to be fair to consider the cleaning of December 3rd as the reasonable end of the summer period and to assume that with a tank of the design an ddismensions of the one used In the experiments, it would be necessary to remove the sludge at about this time each year. When the tank was cleaned on June 12, 1909, there was a very large accumulation of sludge, and it would not have been possible to continue operations longer without removing it. In fact, the tank would doubtless have done better work had it been cleaned somewhat earlier. A summary of data relating to sludge calculated upon the periods from the beginning of the experiments to December 3rd, and from December 7, 1908, to June 12, 1909, respectively, is presented in the following-table: TABLE XXXIX.

Upon this basis, the total annual production of sludge would amount to about 6,960 cubic yards, or if calculated on a basis of the weighted average of sludge actually removed during the experiments (4.5 cu. yards per million gallons) the quantity would be 4,935 cubic yards, equivalent to 13.5 cubic yards per day. The actual quantity to be disposed of would vary from season to season and from year to year, dependent upon the condition of business, the degree of efficiency of the mill tanks, the intensity of septic action which can be maintained, and the density of the sludge at the time of cleaning the tanks. The activity of fermentation will itself vary ac- cording to the chemical character of the sewage and also according to the variations of temperature. This quantity of sludge is so large that with tanks as ordinarily constructed, it would probably be necessary to remove it at least as often as twice each year, and perhaps at more frequent intervals. Quantity of Sludge Produced at Gloversville, Compared with that Produced Other Places. The quantities of sludge produced at Gloversville and at the experiment stations at Lawrence and Boston, Mass., and Columbus, Ohio, and at the large plant at Worcester, Mass., are given in Table XLI. 81 TABLE XLI.

Prom available records of sludge produced at these places, it appears that the quantity removed from the tanks at Gloversville is far in excess of that produced by most of the tanks included in this comparison. One tank, No. 8, at Boston, produced about the same amount as the tanks at Glovers- ville, while at Worcester during the first experiment the quantity produced ■was large although somewhat less than at Gloversville. All of the other tanks produced but a small fraction of the amount removed from the tanks at Glov- ersville. Taking into account the density of the sludge from respective tanks and calculating the volume upon the basis of sludge of uniform density of 90% water, it appears that the sludge produced at Gloversville is far in excess of that produced by any of the other tanks. It would appear from these calcula- tions that the quantity produced at Gloversville would be three or four times as great as that produced at other places. Quantity of Dry Solids in Sludge. There is variation from time to time in the actual weight Of solid matter in the sludge as well as in its volume. Table XLII gives the weight of soUds per million gallons of sludge, as found upon the several dates of examinatioin. 82 TABLE XLM. Quantity of Solids in Sludge of Septic Tanks. Date.

It appears that the amount of solid matter retained in the septic tank during the period of active fermentation was materially less than that pro- duced during the winter and spring of 1909. The possible causes of this vari- ation have already been fully discussed. Suspended Solids Removed from Sewage Compared with Solids Found in Sludge. In Table XLIII are given in pounds per million gallons the quantity of dry solid matter present in the sewage entering the septic tank and in the efflu- en therefrom, and the diifference which represents the amount which was removed from the sewage. In the fifth column of the table is given the quan- tity of solids found to have been added to the accumulation of sludge on each of the dates specified. The dates when the sludge was measured and an- alyzed correspond in a general way with the different months in the first col- umn and the quantities in the fifth column may be taken to represent approxi- mately the quantity of solids collected in the tank from month to month. ^ A comparison of the quantity of solids found in the sludge with the quan- tity calculated to have been removed from the sewage, shows that in general during the warmer season of the year from 65 to 80% of the solid matter which was removed from the sewage disappeared and did not remain in the tank. During the colder portion of the year from one-third to one-half of the solid matter removed from the sewage disappeared and was not found in the Sludge. There are, of course, great difficulties in the way of sampling and analyzing the sludge, and comparisons of this kind are always unsatisfactory. The indications are, however, that about twice as much solid matter is liqui- fied or lost during the warmer portion of the year when septic action is more pronounced as during the colder portion of the year. 83 TABLE XLIII.

There was a marked decrease in the proportion of organic matter during the months of April, May and June. This decrease was probably due partly to road detritus carried into the sewers by storm water and the water from melting snow, and partly to an excessive amount of inorganic matters passing the mill tanks which in some cases were also affected by surface water. With the exception of the months of very high water the proportion of nitro- gen in the sludge did not vary far from 2.5%, but with an increased propor- tion of inorganic matter during the spring months, there was a decrease in the proportion of nitrogen. The proportion of fats varied in a manner similar to that of organic mat- ter and nitrogen. With the exception of the spring months the proportion of fats amounted to from 0.40% to 0.52% and during the spring to about 0.60% of the wet sludge. Quantity and Character of Sludge Collected in the Several Compartments of Septic Tank. In order to determine the quantity of sludge which would be deposited In different portions of the tank, sludge dams were constructed as already de- scribed, dividing the tank transversely into four compartments of equal area. In Table XLV are recorded the depth and cubic feet of sludge in each of the several compartments upon the dates when measurements were made: TABLE XLV.

This obviously cannot be true at periods when large quantities of street detritus find their way into the sewers, but it is found to hold through- out the major portion of the year. There is apparently no marked difference in the proportion of nitrogen- ous substances found in the sludge in the several compartments, although on the whole it may be stated that the nitrogen content is least iin the first sec- tion. During some of the tests there was a marked increase in the second, third and fourth compartments over that ini the first, while on the other hand, -upon about an equal number of tests, the nitrogenous matters were found to be in excess in the first compartment. On the average, there is a gradual increase in the proportion of fats found in the sludge of the several compartments ( indicating, as would be ex- pected, that the fats are carried along with the sewage and are deposited in the further sections of the tank. EXPERIMENTS WITH SEDIMENTATION. For the purpose of comparing the effect of simple sedimentation with that of septic treatment, a tank constructed as already described, was oper- ated as a sedimentation tank at the same rates of flow as the septic tank. The sewage for the septic and settling tanks was measured from the grit chamber by means of orifices and after passing the same the two portions were kept entirely separate. This test was begun upon July 20, 1908, and continued until July 6, 1909. The operation of this tank differed from that of the septic tank only in respect to the removal of the sludge, which was effected at intervals sufilciently fre- quent to prevent active fermentation, as indicated by the production of gas. The lengths of the several periods between cleanings are given in Table XLIX. The physical action of this tank, as also to some extent of the septic tank, has doubtless been materially affected by the chemicals discharged into the sewers, which are capable of acting as coagulants, thus producing a natural chemical precipitation of the sewage. These chemicals are discharged at ir- regular times and in variable amounts, so that it was not to be expected that the natural precipitation process would be as efficient as if the chemicals were added under conditions permitting of accurate control. The color of the effluent differed only slightly from that of the sewage entering the tank, the change being due either to the dilution of the highly colored sewage with that having less color, which came immediately before and after it, or to a precipitation of coloring matter with the suspended solids. At no time was there any appreciable amount of scum, although there was at times a slight film of grease, such as would be found upon the surface of any sewage. The length of periods of operation was determined by the quantity of gas being evolved. When the tank was first filled, after cleaning, no gas whatever was liberated and the tank was allowed to continue in use until gas was given off in small quantities. When evolution of gas became noticeable, the tank was in all cases cleaned. The odor of the effluent was very similar to that of the crude sewage, and. resembled that of the tannery wastes. 87 Quality of Effluent. The tables of dally analyses 'of Influent and effluent to this tank are com- piled as Appendix H. The monthly averages of analyses of iinfluent and ef- fluent are embodied in Tables XLVII and XLVIII. The temperature of the sewage was reduced about one degree during its passage through this tank, as shown by the following tabulation: Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. Mch. Temperature of Influent 52 Temperature of Effluent 51 I 49 I 48 47 46 46 46 45 44 The amount of suspended matter in the effluent remained, fairly constant from August to February inclusive and it may be stated fairly that the tank was capable on the average of reducing the amount of suspended matter to 75 parts per million. During the latter part of the winter and the spring, there was a decided increase in the quantity of suspended matter In the efflu- ent. This change was probably due to the large accumulation of sludge in the tank, thus reducing its eflficiency. Both Nitrites and Nitrates were present in practically all of the samples analyzed. Dissolved Oxygen was absent for a portion of the month of October, but was present throughout the remainder of the period covered by the tests. The changes effected by passing the sewage through this tank may be seen from the following tabulation of the average of all the analyses: Per cent Influent. Effluent.

Alkalinity Oxygen Dissolved The increase in Free Ammonia, although comparatively slight, indicates that there was a small amount of septic action in the tank. This indication is also borne out by the reduction in Nitrates, although the Dissolved Oxygen showed a slight increase. The proportion of nitrogenous and carbonaceous organic matter removed from the sewage, as indicated by the Organic Nitrogen and Oxygen Con- sumed, amounted to over 40%, while 79% of the Total Suspended Matter was lemoved. The change in the amount of Alkalinity was comparatively insig- nificant. Sludge Retained by Settling Tank. The sludge retained In the several compartments of the tank was of a light gray color and not particularly offensive in odor. The odor, however, was stronger, as would be expected, during the warmer weather. At all times the odor of tannery wastes was present to a marked extent In the sludge Table XLIX shows the results of measurements and analyses of sludge col- lected by tank at all times when It was cleaned and on a few occasions when the sludge was not removed. . These examinations show very clearly the effect of frequent cleaning upon the density of the sludge. When it is necessary to remove the sludge at frequent intervals, it can hardly be hoped to reduce it to a density of more than 6 or 8% solids. On the other hand, if the sludge can be allowed to ac- cumulate during the winter when there is little bacterial action, it may reach a density of 12% or 13% solids. It naturally follows from these conditions that the volume of sludge to be disposed of during the warmer portion of the year is far in excess of that to be removed during the winter or spring. The density of the sludge also depends upon the character of the suspended mat- ters escaping from the mill tanks and will also undoubtedly vary from time to time according to the condition of business. To enable the work of the settling tank during the summer season to be compared with that accomplished during the winter season, the results of tests from July 20 to December 24, have been combined as have those from December 24 to May 5. The results of these calculations appear in Table L. Quantity of Dry Solids in Sludge. The quantity of solid matter contained in the sludge when the tank was cleaned and at other times when tests were made, is shown by Table XLIXa. TABLE XLVII.

After December 24, there was much variation in the results of the- tests, which might have been due to the difficulties of sampling at times when the water was not drawn down, which was the case upon all occasions except that of May 5, when the tank was cleaned.

The sludge was measured and analyzed about once in four weeks, thus giving an approximate idea of the amount of solid matter which accumulated between the measurements. In preparing Table LIV, it has been assumed that these measurements and the corresponding analyses corresponded in a general way with the figures prepared from the averages of monthly analyses of sewage and effluent. These figures are, of course, not strictly comparable and too much weight should not be attached to them. It is interesting to note, however, that from the analyses of influent and effluent, an average of 2563 pounds of dry solid 95 matter disappeared ard should have been retained in the tank or converted into soluble or gaseous matter. Compared -^'ith this only 1262 pounds of solid matter were found in the tank at the various times upon which msasure- ments were taken. It would appear from these figures, that approximately 51% of the solid matters disappearing from the sewage during its passage through the tank, were also unaccounted for in the sludge found in the tank. COMPARISON OF SLUDGE PRODUCED BY SEPTIC AND SEDIMENTATION PROCESSES. It is interesting to compare the quantity of sludge removed from the sep- tic and settling tanks. The following figures show the number of pounds per million gallons of solid matter found in the sludge of the two tanks, during the summer and winter periods, respectively: Septic Tank. Lbs. per Mil. Gallons. Settling Tank. Lbs. per Mil. Gallons Summer Period 569 1023 Winter " 1656 1184 It thus appears that the settling basin produced about 1.8 times as much sludge figured as dry solid matter during the summer period, as did the sep- tic tank. On the other hand, the septic tank produced about 40% more sludge upon the same basis during the winter period. For the sake of comparison, these quantities have been calculated into cubic yards of sludge of an assumed specific gravity of 1.06 and 90% water. tJpon this basis the calculated amount of sludge would be as follows: Septic Tank.

Yds. per Mil.Gals. 7.53 5.09 6.21 From this comparison it appears that during the entire time covered by both seasons, the amount of sludge produced by the septic tank was a little greater than that produced by the settling tank. The septic tank, however, had the advantage due to a longer period of storage during the warmer sea- son of the year, which resulted in producing a denser sludge than could be produced by the settling tank, when operated with a view to avoiding exces- sive fermentation. The quantities of sludge actually produced during the periods covered by the foregoing discussion, were as follows: Septic Tank. Cu. Yds. per Mil.

Gals. 7.50 5.01 6.07 96 On this basis and assuming that the periods covered by these experiments each represent fairly one-half of the year, it appears that the quantity of sludge produced by the two processes was^o and 6.07 cubic yards per million gallons, respectively. In other words, the septic process reduced the amount of sludge which would have been obtained by sedimentation by 26.0%. The reduction during the summer period was 45.4%, while during the winter period the reduction was 2.0%. Note: Avej-age measurements of whole flow of sewage, 7 summer months 2,034,000 g.p.d.

The sprinkling filters were brought into use during August and Septem- ber, 1908, as follows: Number 1. August 24 " 2. September 2 3. August 29 4. August 28 Prom the date of starting until October 23, the net rate of flow per acre per day was as follows : Number 1. 600,000 gallons 2. 695,000 3. 600,000 4. 636,000 Upon October 23 the quantity of sewage applied to the filters was in- creased to: Number 1. 1,000,000 gallons per acre per day 2. " " " " " '■ 3. " ' " " 4. " " " " " " Upon December 1st the quantity of sewage applied to the filters was again increased so as to make the average net rate of filteration per acre per day as follows: Number 1. 1.18 million gallons. 2. 1.06 3. 1.00 4. 1.20 The filters were provided with the standard Columbus nozzles from each of which one of the arms was removed. The openings of these nozzles were reduced to the proper size to furnish the quantity of water required under a constant head of five feet. The sewage was applied in this manner contin- uously throughout periods of seven days, at the end of which the filters were allowed to rest twenty-four hours. The distribution obtained was not all that could be desired. If the dis- tribution provided for the completed plant is materially better than that of the experimental filters, it will be reasonable to expect somewhat better re- sults. By conducting the experiments with the Columbus nozzles, however, results were obtained which were undoubtedly on the safe side and it is prob- able that some improvement may be realized in the completed plant. Comparatively little trouble was experienced with the clogging of the nozzles, although occasionally the openings were reduced in size by an ac- 97 cumulation due either to grease or to an organic growtli. This accumula- tion was of such a nature and in such a position that it could not .be readily removed from the inside of the nozzle by applying a stick or wire from ithe outside. The freedom from Internal parts was an important feature in avoid- ing serious trouble from this cause. There was at no time any difficulty due to clogging of the filtering mate- rial and no tendency was observed toward cooling of the water applied to the filter. More or less odor was always given off from the influents as they were sprayed onto the filters. This odor was similar to that arising from septic and settling tanks, although much more pronounced, due to the mechanical ■ breaking up of the water into fine drops, furnishing a better opportunity for the evolution of gas. While these odors were pronounced and would doubt- less be noticeable for some distance from a large area of filter, they were not very offensive, or of a pronounced putrefactive nature, and were readily rec- ognized as similar to those of tannery wastes. The cold weather caused no difficulty in the distribution of sewage upon the filters which were housed, for the reason that the temperature within the building did not drop to 32° Fahrenheit, except on two occasions, and only on one occasion below 32°. Filter No. 4 was maintained in operation without any serious difficulty, — the ice accumulated on the surface of the filter to a large extent, but there was always an opening about half-way from the nozzle to the outside of the filter, where the water fell in greatest quantity, which was ample for the ad- mission of the influent. No effort was made to remove any ice from the sur- face of the filter, and this ice reached a thickness of 18 inches around the outer edge. The zone of ice around the outer edge of the filter was approxi- mately 2.5 feet wide, inside of which was an open zone about 2 feet wide, Tvithin which was a second zone of ice about 2 feet wide or 4 feet in diameter. Thus out of 130.68 square feet of total area 37.7 square feet or 28.9 per cent, of the whole area remained open for the reception of the sewage. The ice extended across th-e open zone at a point opposite the arm of the nozzle where comparatively little water fell, thus still further decreasing the effective areas. The effect of the covering of so large a proportion of the surface of the filter with ice was not as important as would appear from a mere con- sideration of this particular condition, for the reason that under all condi- tions a very large proportion, as high doubtless as 50 to 60% of the influent, was applied to this particular zone of the filter. Had the distribution been uniform over the entire area during the warmer season of the year, the cov- ering of nearly 70% of the area with ice would doubtless have proven a seri- ous obstacle in the way of the efficient action of the filter during the winter season. ' The surfaces of the stone of the filter were covered with slime, but at no time was there a noticeable organic growth over the surface of the filter as a whole. At times it appeared that there was a slight tendency toward .such a growth on the filters within the building and no corresponding tendency on the exposed filter. The extent of growth was, however, so small that no im- portance has been attached to it There was at no time any evidence of an incrustation of lime salts upon the stones or of a clogging due to the presence of chemicals as distinguished from the ordinary suspended matter of sewage. 98 The proportion of the filter beds made up of voids was determined when they were put Into operation and again after a period of operation varying from 36 to 51 days. The results of these determinations were as follows; TABLE LV. Voids in Sprinkling Filters.

A large quantity of suspended matter previously retained in this filter was dis- charged with the water used for measuring the voids. A second measure- ment Indicated that the filter had been cleaned and the proportion of voids returned to 47.66% of the total space occupied by the filtering material, thus showing a loss similar to that of the other filters and amounting to 1.6%. The filtering material has been examined to a depth of about 18 inches from the surface and it is found that there is a much larger accumulation of sus- pended matter as sludge in the zone receiving the largest proportion of the influent, than in other portions of the filter. The accumulation was nowhere so large as to cause clogging, or even to indicate that a period of clogging was at hand. During the month of April, myriads of light colored minute flies were hatched upon the under side of the stones, on the surface of the fllters. When the flies developed they appeared to find their natural home on or near the surface of the stones and did not tend to leave the filter. They were present in vast numbers, but while they might make working about the filters uncomfortable, they invariably showed no tendency to leave them. SPRINKLING FILTER NO. 1. This filter, which was 10 feet in depth, has received the effluent from the septic tank since August 24, 1908. The net. rate of 600,000 gallons per acre per day was increased- on October 23 to one million gallons. A still further slight increase in the actual quantity of sewage matter applied was made upon December 1st, when the rate of pumping was changed so as to regulate the flow of sewage through the septic and settling tanks in general accord- ance with the rate of flow in the trunk sewer. This change in the operation of the tanks resulted in forcing the strong sewage of the day time through them and therefore onto the filters earlier in the day, and in retaining the strong sewage in the tanks slightly longer at night, consequently applying it to the filters a somewhat longer time than was the case before the change in the rate of pumping was made. 99 The averages of the monthly analyses of the influent and effluent appear in Tables LVI and LVII. The results of daily analyses upon which these aver- ages are based appear as Appendix I. The net results of the work of this filter are clearly shown by the follow- ing tabulation of averages of all analyses of influent and effluent together with the percentage of the various constituents removed by the process of filtration.

The nitrites, nitrates and dissolved oxygen, were all materially increased during the passage of the water through the filter. The quantity of suspended matter applied to the filter was much more during the first four months of its operation than during the winter and spring, due to the fermentation going on in the septic tank, which has been described under that caption. The quality of the effluent has been quite uniform throughout the period covered by the experiments, although the analyses appear to indicate that the increase in the work put upon the filter after October 23, when the rate was increased to 1,000,000 gallons per acre per day, was reflected in an in- creased amount of nitrogenous matters in the effluent. There was also a slight reduction in the amount of nitrites and nitrates following the increase in rate. This apparent deterioration of the effluent was, however, overcome 100 TABLE LVI, Monthly Averages of Results of Chemical Analyses of Influent to Filter No. 1. Source of Influent, Septic Tank.

During the early months o£ operation the amount of suspended matter escaping with the effluent was considerably less than during the winter and spring. With the advent of warm weather in April, May and June, there was a decided increase in the quantity of sus- pended matter discharged from the filter. During no month, however, was the amount of suspended matter in the effluent equal to that in the influent, as shown by the chemical analyses. The putrescibility tests showed that the effluent was of good quality from the beginning of the experiments until the end of December. During Janu- ary and February about one-fifth of the samples were putrefactive. There was however, a marked improvement during the spring so that it seems to be safe to assume that the effluent from a 10-foot filter, receiving an influent ot the character applied to this experimental filter, will not be putrescible over one-fifth of the time even though the suspended matter is not removed from it. Filter No. 2. This filter was 7 feet deep and received effluent from the septic tank at the net rate of 695,000 gallons per acre per day until October 23, after which time the rate was increased to 1,000,000 gallons per acre per day and further increased to 1,060,000 gallons on December 1st.

The nitrites, nitrates and dissolved oxygen in the effluent were all much greater than in the influ- ent. The effluent from this filter showed a marked increase in organic nitro- gen after October when the rate of filtration was increased and no recovery was apparent up to the end of June. The nitrites and nitrates were less dur- ing the winter weather than during the fall or spring. The dissolved oxygen,, however, did not show a reduction corresponding to the reduction in nitrites 103 and nitrates, the amount present in tlie effluent being fairly uniform through- out the experiment. It was always present in fairly large quantities, the monthly average never falling helow 4.8 parts per million. There was a ma- terial increase in the amount of suspended matter contained In the effluent after October, the quantity remaining quite uniform until May when there was a great increase, due undoubtedly to the automatic cleaning of the filter. During September and October, the effluent was non-putrescible on near- ly all occasions. Immediately after the rate ot flow was increased there was an increase in putrescibility, and in November 54% of the samples tested were putrescible. While there were marked variations in the percentage of samples which were putrescible, the effluent from this filter was found to be putrescible on fully one-half of the days upon which it was tested. It must be remembered, however, that the tests here referred to were made upon the effluent including the suspended matter which it carried. The effect of the removal of suspended matter upon the keeping qualities of this effluent, is cliscussed on pages 174 et seq. Filter No. 3. This filter was 5 feet in depth and received the effluent from the septic tank at the rate of 000,000 gallons per acre per day until October 23, after which time the rate was increased to 1,000,000 gallons per acre per day. The monthly averages of analyses of influent and effluent given in Tables LX and LXI show the work done by this filter from month to month. The indi- vidual analyses upon which these tables are based are given in Appendix K. The influent and effluent are compared in the following tabulation of results of analyses: TABLE LIX.

In April only 7% of the samples tested were found to be putrescible, while in October 86% of them- failed' to keBp. The effect of the removal of suspended matter upon the keeping qualities of this effluent is discussed on pages 174 et seq. Filter No. 4. This filter was 5 feet in depth and received the effluent from the settling tank at an average net rate of 636,000 gallons per acre per day until October 23, after which the average rate was 1,000,000 gallons per acre per day until December 1 when it was increased to 1,200,000 gallons. The filter was not covered during the winter and was protected only slightly by means of an earth embankment around the tank containing the filtering medium, and also to some extent by the filter house which was nearby and on the northerly side of it. The monthly averages of analyses of influents and effluents given in Tables LXII and LXIII show the work accomplished by the filter from month to month. The individual analyses upon which these tables are based are tabulated in Appendix L. The influents of this filter differed from those of the other filters principally in the amount of suspended matter contained during the months of August, September, October and November. As has already been explained in the discussion of the results of the experiments upon the septic tank, comparatively large quantities of suspended matter were carried over from that tank to the filters receiving septic effluent where- as the effluent from the settling basin which was applied to this filter carried a nearly uniform amount of suspended matter throughout the experiment, and much less during the summer and fall than did that from the septic tank. It should be mentioned in this connection that the influents to this filter con- TABLE LXII. Monthly Averages of Results of Chemical Analyses of Influent, Sprinkling Filter No. 4.

The quality of the influent and effluent can be readily compared by the use of the folio-wing figures: (Parts per Million) Influent. Effluent. % Removed.

There was a decided increase in nitrites, nitrates and dissolved oxygen. Monthly averages of analyses showed a gradual de- terioration in the quality of the effluent with the advent of cold weather and the filter had not fully recovered from the effect of the winter at the end of -June, to which time the analyses have been tabulated. The suspended matter in the effluent Increased after October, remaining comparatively stationary until May, after which time there was a marked increase due to the auto- 107 matlc cleaning of the filter. During the first three months of operation, this filter d:d better work than No. 3, which was built in exactly the same manner. After November, however, the injurious effect of the cold weather, due prob- ably partly to low temperature and partly to inefficient distribution on ac- count of the ice covering, was clearly reflected in the inferior quality of the effluent. This deterioration reached its maximum in March, during which month the effluent was putrescible upon all occasions when it was tested. These tests, however, were made with the full content of suspended matter present. The putrescibility tests indicated a marked improvement in the con- dition of the filter during April, although there was a slight recession during May. In June the effluent was found to be putrefactive three-quarters of the time. The effect of removing the suspended matter upon the keeping quali- ties of this effluent is discussed on pages 174 et seq. Quantity of Suspended Matter Removed by Sprinkling Filters. It is unfortunate that the experiments with the sprinkling filters could not have been continued for a longer period of time to make it possible to determine what proportion of the suspended matter applied to the filters would be retained in their pores. Table LXVI shows the number of parts per million of suspended solids in the influents and effluents of sprinkling filters Nos. 1 and 2, and settling basin No. 1, as well as the relation of the suspended matter in the effluent from the settling basin to that in the crude sewage. Table LXVII gives the same data in relation to sprinkling filters Nos. 3 and 4 and settling basin No. 2. The amount of suspended matter in the effluent from the settling basins was equivalent to from 3 to 11% of the quantity present in the crude sewage. The quantity of solids in suspension in the sprinkling filter effluents obtained by the various filters at Lawrence, Mass., and Columbus, Ohio, have been tabulated for the purpose of assisting in the comparison of the quantities in the effluents from the various filters at Gloversville.

A 125 B 105 c 67 D 64 E 28 F 77 From these figures It appears that the Gloversville effluent contained much less suspended matter than that of either Lawrence of Columbus. At 108 Lawrence the quantities were on the average considerably more than double those at Gloversville. There was little difference in the quantity of suspend- ed matter per million gallons applied to these various Alters, although the quantity at Gloversville was on the whole rather greater than at the other places. In spite of this fact the quantity in the effluents was decidedly less at Gloversville, leading to the interesting query whether the filters would automatically unload during the summer. It was not deemed wise to attempt to determine the voids in the filters to throw light upon this question because they have not been shut down and it was feared that flooding and draining might wash out large quantities of suspended matter and thus interfere with the natural unloading process which it was hoped would take place as soon as the sewage reached a comparatively high temperature. It is not improbable that the low rates at which the Gloversville filters have been operated do not furnish as great assistance in the natural unload- ing of suspended matter as the higher rates in use at the other cities. Table LXVIII gives the quantity of solid matter, in parts per million gal- lons of sewage applied which was removed from the influents by the several filters. It is apparent that filter No. 1 removed a larger quantity of suspended matter than did any of the other filters. Filter No. 3 came next to Filter No. 1 in this respect and removed more suspended matter than did either filters Nos. 2 or 4. As has been stated earlier in this report, there is no apparent reason for the retention of such a large quantity of suspended matter in this filter. Filter No. 2 removed much more solid matter than did No. 4. From the second part of Table LXVIII it appears that filter No. 1 in no month discharged more suspended matter than it received. The. quantity re- tained or stored in the filter as indicated by amount removed from influent, was largest during the first few months of its operation, reaching 87.6% of that applied in the month of September. There has been a gradual reduction in the percent of solid matter retained in this filter, and it may be that if the experiments could have been continued longer, it would have unloaded some of the matters previously retained. During the month of June the quantity of suspended matter retained was equivalent to only 22% of that applied. During the month of May the quantity of suspended matter (discharged from filters Nos. 2 and 4 was considerably in excess of that applied. In these filters as well as in the case of filter No. 1, there has been a gradual reduction in the proportion of suspended matter retained in the filter to that applied. Filter No. 3 has, during no month, discharged more suspended matter than it received, and it has not shown a tendency to reduce the relation of the quantity of suspended matter stored to that applied, which has been evi- dent in the other filters. In Table LXIX are given the quantities of suspended solids assumed to have been stored in the filters, figured in pounds of dried solid matter. In addition are given also the estimated volume occupied by the several quanti- ties of suspended matter stored on the basis of its being dry and in the form of sludge containing 20% and 10% solid matter. From these various calcu- lations it appears that were the filters allowed to dry out so that no moisture was contained in them, from 0.72% to 1.83% of the voids In them would be occupied by ihe solids which have accumulated. Further, that if the solids are present in the form of sludge as dense as 80% water, the space occupied would vary from 3.60 to 9.15% of the original voids in the filter. Assuming that the solid matter retained by the filter is in the form of sludge containing 109 90% water, the space occupied by it varies from 7.20% to 18.30% of the origi- nal voids in the several filters. Prom these various studies it appears that there has been no marked un- loading of the matters retained. It is also evident that there is no marked indication that the filters were about to discharge large quantities of sus- pended matter. On the other hand, there has been a gradual tendency in all of the filters with the possible exception of No. 2, toward reducing the quan- tity of suspended matter removed from the influent. For convenience, in the foregoing discussion the suspended solids removed from the Influents have been assumed to have been retained in the filters. It is not improbable that much of this matter may have disappeared and that it would not appear as an accumulation in the filters if an examination were made. Loss of Heat of Influent in Passing Tlirough Filters. The temperatures of influent and effluent of the various filters have been taken daily. All records of temperatures of sewage and effluents are given in Appendix R. The averages of these temperatures show that the effluent lost a small amount of its heat during its passage through the filters. The aver- age loss by months for the various filters was as follows: Degree Fahrenheit. Filter No. 1 Filter No. 2 Filter No. 3 Filter No. 4 November December January . . February . March . . . . Note: Filter house completed Nov. 9, 1909, These averages show that there was a much greater loss In temperature in the case of filter No. 4 which was not protected by the filter house. The average temperatures of the effluents are given in the several tables of month- ly averages of results of analyses. Prom these averages, It appears that the temperature of the effluent of the filters from December to March inclusive, will probably be as low as 40° Fahrenheit, in the case of a filter five feet deep, unprotected from the weather. The effluent from a filter five feet deep will be from 3 to 6° warmer if housed than if unprotected. Comparison of Results of Experiments with Sprinkling Filters. To facilitate a comparison of the quality of the various effluents, the fol- lowing table has been compiled: TABLE LXIV. Averages of Results of all Analyses of Effluents from All Sprinkling Filters.

There Is considerably more free ammonia in the effluents from Filters Nos. 3 and 4 than those from Filters Nos. 1 and 2. The oxygen consumed and the total suspended matter are both much higher in the filtrate from No. 4, than in the other effluents. There is a correspond- ing reduction in the amount of nitrates which is less than one-half as high in the effluents from the 5-toot beds as from those of the 7 and 10-foot beds. Dissolved oxygen is present to a marked extent in all of the filters, and dur^ ing the winter and spring, the effluents were nearly one-half saturated with oxygen. Table LXV shows the percentage of samples of the various effluents from the sprinkling filters and settling basins which were found to be putrescible after incubation during 48 hours at 37° centigrade. The tests of the filter ef- fluents were made without the removal of any of the suspended matter. The effluents from the settling basins showed to some extent the effect of re- moving a portion of the suspended matter of the filter effluent. TABLE LXV.

The length of time consumed hy the passage of water through this basin was so small that usually there was no noticeable reduction in temperature. During the very coldest weather in February, the temperature of the effluent was only one degree below that of the influent, and. in all other months the temperature was the same. By far the most important change taking place in the effluent during its sedimentation was the removal of suspended matter. This is shown clearly by the following tabulation of monthly averages of the quantity of suspended matter in the influent and effluent, together with the percent removed. TABLE LXXI.

During the month of May the influent averaged 136 parts suspended matter and 66% was removed. The efflciency of the tank as measured by the percent removed naturally varied according to the quantity of suspended matter in the influent, but the comparatively uniform quantity in the effluent indicates that by this method even with a very short period of sedimentation the suspended matter can be reduced to 30 parts, or perhaps less, per million. That the suspended matter is of a nature which is readily removed by sedimentation, is indicated by the fact that as much as 43% on an average, and as high as 66% during a single month, was removed by sedimentation when the rate of flow through the tank was equivalent to a period of 1.5 hours. Settling Basin No. 2. This basin was designed to show what results would be obtained by a fairly long period of sedimentation. The effluent from Filters Nos. 3 and 4 contained a larger quantity of suspended matter than that from Filters Nos. 1 and 2, consequently somewhat more work devolved upon this basin than upon basin No. 1. The monthly averages of analyses of influent and effluent of this basin are given in Table LXXII. The individual analyses on which this table is based, are given In Appendix N. in As in the case of basin No. 1, the Free Ammonia in the effluent Is higher than that in the influent, and the Nitrites, Nitrates and Oxygen Dissolvea present in the influ.ent were reduced. These facts indicate that there was considerable bacterial action in the water, or the accumulated sludge, which did reduce the keeping qualities of the effluent. During the colder weather there was generally a reduction In the tern- prature of the water during its passage through the tank, amounting to from 1 to 2° on the average. It should be mentioned in this connection that this tank was wholly above the surface of the ground and, therefore, entirely su^ 118 *: 111 •a c n c « 3 C «- ■a o d « ca V >.

This sludge will be easily pumped and compara- tively easy to dispose of. and if removed at frequent intervals, will not have a particularly offensive odor. It is not to be expected, however, that if it is allowed to collect and decompose in large masses, it will be free from such odors and It might under such conditions, be as difficult to dispose of as the sludge from either the septic treatment or sedimentation of crude sewage. Quantity of Sludge Produced by Sedimentation of Sprinkling Filter Effluents at Various Places. The quantity of sludge resulting from the sedimentation of sprinkling filter effluents at G-loversville, Lawrence, and Columbus, is given in Table LXXVI. TABLE LXXVI.

This was due in part of course to the smaller quan- tity of suspended matter in the influents at Gloversville. The quantity col- lected at Lawrence was between two and three times as much as at Glov- ersville. RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS WITH SAND FILTER NO 1. A portion of the effluent from Settling Basin No. 2, was applied to a sand filter five feet in depth. This filter was composed, as already described, of very coarse sand. The sewage was applied at the following net rates per acre per day: From September 12 to November 1 300,000 gallons November 1 to December 1 363,000 " December 1 to February 1 550,000 " February 1 to April 1 800,000 " April 1 to July 1 1,000,000 " 123 During the earlier part of tlie experiment tlie distribution of. the iniluent over the surface of the sand was far from uniform^ On December 22, a sys- tem of zinc troughs was installed, the individual troughs Radiating from_the center of the tank. The influent was fed into a common cylinder located at the center of the tank, with which all of the troughs connected. In this way the influent was distributed comparatively uniformly over the surface of the sand. Comparatively little trouble was experienced with the clogging of the ■feand, it having been necessary to rake the surface but two or three times during the life of the filter. Nothing was removed from the surface of this filter. The filter was dosed .during a period of about two hours in the fore- noon and three hours in the afternoon on six days in the week. The water applied to the filter at these times of day was found to be as highly polluted as any coming from the settling basin. The monthly averages of analyses of influent and efiluent are given in Table LXXVII. The individual analyses upon which this table is based are given in Appendix O. It appears from these analyses that there was a gradual increase in the strength of the influent during the few months of operation, during which time also there was a gradual increase in the quantity of water applied to the filters. The effluent on the other hand, did not show a marked increase in the quantity of impurities which it contained, although during March, April and May the organic nitrogen was rather high. In the month of June, however, the organic nitrogen dropped nearly as low as at any time. The analyses indicate that the filter has done its work efficiently even at the high- est rates, the efliuent for the month of June being practically as good as that obtained at any time since the filter was started. The purification effected by the filter appears to have been about 60% calculated on the influent as shown from the following figures: (Parts per Million) Influent. Effluent. % Removed.

Calculated upon the constituents of the crude sewage, it appears that the purification may be conservatively placed at about 90%, as shown from the following figures; page 188. 124 TABLE LXXVII.

This filter although somewhat smaller in area than No. 1 was composed ot sand of the same quality and size, and was 5 feet in depth. Crude sewage was applied at the rate of 100,000 gallons per acre per day. During the first two months of operation of the filter very little trouble was caused by clog- . ging. After that time, however, it was necessary to rake the surface of the filter at frequent intervals and also to remove more or less of the clogged sand. While this filter produced high nitrification and a fairly good quality of effluent during the few months in which it was operated, it became almost impossible to continue the operation on account of the large accumulation of foreign matters on the surface of the filter, and the almost constant ne- cessity for surface raking and cleaning. The monthly averages of results of the analyses of influent and effluent appear in Table LXXVIII. The individ- ual analyses upon which this table is based are given in Appendix P. The oxygen consumed as determined in the effluent indicated a gradual deterioration In quality, as did also the nitrates and free ammonia. These Experiments demonstrated that a sand filter was capable of puri- fying sewage of the quality applied but that it was impracticable to use such 125 a niter without first removing the suspended matter. It was also evident that a rate of 100,000 gallons per acre per day could not be maintained without a reduction in the degree of purification obtained at first. TABLE LXXVIII.

The limitations of the work at the experiment station were such that it was not possible to make a prolonged bacterial investigation of the sewage and various effluents. A few demonstrations were made from time to time, however, and give a general idea of the total number of bacteria present in the various influents and effluents. The averages of these results were tabu- lated as follows: Number per c. c. Crude sewage 1,600,000 Septic Tank effluent 5,000,000 Settling Tank effluent 2,000,000 Sprinkling Filter No. 1 effluent 300,000 "2 " 390,000 "3 " 680,000 "4 " 900,000 Settling Basin No. 1 effluent 770,000 "2 " 1,000,000 The results of these determinations indicate that there are present in the sewage at all times, a moderate number of bacteria and that the number is increased greatly during its passage through the septic tank. The increase in the settling tank is much less than in tlie septic tank, the number in the effluent not being greatly in excess of the number present in the crude sew- age. The number present in the effluents from the filters increased gradual- ly from 300,000 in the effluent from No. 1 to 900,000 in the effluent from No. 4. 126 There is a marked increase in tlie number of bacteria in tlie effluents from tlie sliallow filters over those from the deeper ones. There was a marked increase in the number of bacteria during the passage of the water through Settling Basins Nos. 1 and 2, as would be expected, the effluent from basin No. 2 containing by far the larger number of bacteria. COMPARISON OF CRUDE SEWAGE WITH EFFLUENTS FROM VARIOUS PROCESSES OF PURIFICATION. To assist in comparing the quality of the various effluents with that of the crude sewage, Table LXXIX has been prepared, using the averages of all results of the analyses of the sewage and several effluents.

GO l.GO 1.70 4.30 1.10 C.40 21.00 It is interesting to note the gradual improvements in the character of the sewage as it passes from stage to stage in the process of purification. It is also significant that the effluent produced by Sand Filter No. 2, without any preliminary treatment whatever, was nearly as good as that produced by Sand Filter No. 1, preceded by treatment in the tanks, sprinkling filters and settling basins. On the other hand, it must be remembered that the quantity of sewage which can be filtered in this way per unit of area, is very small, and that the labor of maintaining the surface of the filter in suitable condi- tion, would be almost if not quite prohibitive. It is also probable that the severe winter season usual in this vicinity would cause serious difflculty in keeping the filters in operation. 127 ACKNOWLEDGMENT. In closing this report we desire to place on record our sincere appre- ciation of the many courtesies extended to us by the Mayor and members of the City Council, and of the faithful and loyal co-operation of the various as- sistants who have been engaged in the work. Particular mention shoilld be made of the careful work done by Mr. Hommon, who has had immediate charge of the experiments and whose previous experience at similar experi- ment stations at Columbus, Ohio, and Waterbury, Conn., has proven of much value.

Maximum and Minimum Daily Temperature of Air at Gloversville, N. Y. for the Months of December, January, February and March, from 1898 to 1908 inclusive. In considering these temperatures, tlie fact must be borne in mind tliat the thermometer was entirely exposed to the weather to correspond with the conditions that would actually obtain in the sewage purification plant when completed, and for this reason the temperatures during warm days when the thermometer Was exposed to the direct rays of the sun would be higher than on warm days when the direct rays of the sun did not shine upon the ther- mometer, and on cold, windy days the effect of the cold wind would be to lower the temperature registered. -rf:^ I CO rH CO e^coi—iJ^i C- CO U3 (— 1 Oi t— OO (L-) C_) C- r— I u rqi-tCM CgrHCOCJCvl tHt ) t- -^ O lO T ' ■- ^ CO c- -^ [— ir3 CM u5 .^ !r«j CO o^ c-Nj t I ■< CO eg C^] r-l ^ <.Nj w:) :o i-< 1— ( CM ■^ujirac^c^^a-tTOCpr-coaiCMLO'^cMOi rHCOrHCMrH^M | C-]rHCOCMCMi-HCOCMCOC-O0CO(LP^JvJ-^^_^<-'C»L— uMCJ-^JTrCOL'- CgCMrHCgrHCOCMrH 1 CMrHi—i COCMCOCM a.5 C^ i^J —1 CO CO "* C«CJLOt-rH^G0"^00Tr'O:iaiCMrHrHrHr-t CMCOCNlTHl-fiCMTt^ CO.-H |T:t^COCMl -o -^ oa rH CO •^cpix3GOcji'^o^ocMcoi:jj'Ui-HmLoaic_>cncM CgcOr-ICMr-iCOr-irOtH'^=MCOCOCg COrHiH I --- u.^ CJ rg rH ^ o^ eg rH CO CMiH'^OlOuO^rHiOO-^'^lOCMO^pOOD- i-HCM 1 -^COrOrHCO TpCOCOCMCOrHCM r-D rH ^^ CM CM OOO-^-^^r-iC-^Cr^CJrHOCOinCOCOO CslrH 1 COrHTfCgCM COCOCOrHCOCMCOCM ^ -^ LQ ro ^H CO 00 c^ CM CO CT!OTr'-<^(r-oiL0G0r-ia:cMocMt-Tr[:-0 '-^JCM CO.-1-ri CMCMCOCOCO |CMt-HCMCM —-CO-^CJC^C-JC-TPCPCOCtl-O-^r-IC— T— (GOCSOOCSLOO rOi-l- l-H ro CM ■^ c^i^c^o^j'^-^'Cjc— cvi-^-rriiic^OCTiC^rH:.:!-^ CM CM 1 rH CO CM rH 1 eg rH CO CO CO CJ CM .-( CO i-H CO rH 00 lO CO w- LO jC C> LCS i-Ni 00 '^i CO lO Ol ;_i Ol C-J i rH ^ Cv] rH r-i Ol CO Cg CO ej CM rH --^■^ooOT'^c^oO"^c?c::>.-i^S'coc>jcoocioo-rioGOci:i cMtHcm -tHIi-h rrT-trgr-Heqici cocgcocvjcoc^i TT Oi no -O O GO O CO -t^ O J3 I> O i-'S «) '^ O OO 1— 1 O CM m Cvj CMCvlTHi<:^rHT-(tHT-H tH|i-( rt^-HCOCM^CM 1 -^ C3) 00 C^ rH csl 1 eg iH ^OOOCOrH—'t-C.OC-jTT'CM-OOO^OiiraOO 1 i:^ CO rH 1 CM rH i-H CO rH '- 4 rH CM rH CO rH 1 ';_i c\j c_> 1 -^ CO CO CMrHCJCOCO.^^OSrHi— iOOCg':_3LQOCOLCLO rH^'-JrH -HrHCMrHCOCMOJ COrrlCMr- rr O C_3 M CM ira CM Oi OCMC^C^'^^jOOiiOCOLOCMCMGOTptr-OCM OOCNrH ^TrHCM COCMrH [CMrHCMCM ^ CO -^ CC LO cq eg xt^ cj CM irsooco-^-^^jiOcgoocMasiiMOcsotiiOiH CO CO 0-3 rH M rH rH 1 CM CO rH -* CM C<1 | uJ tra GO CM T-H CM CM -^ iOLOCgOCM--]OOOCJCMCMOOOCOilJOC~- 1 -rf CO CO rH :0 rH rH 1 CO rH CM iH "^ CO C<1 1 1 "^ O rH LO rH ■U) Oi '^ CO O L- T CO CO CM 1 " > m t- cort* c eg LD uo CO CM ei ■^ ia CM CO CM t- 1-H rH rH 1 GO rH Lfl rH CM ':j CO CM CM LrtOCMt-OCMCMOO rHCOCMCOCMCOrHrH 1 CO CO UO 05 CM 00 OO rH CM rH CO CM rH CM CO-rHCMrHCg CM CMICMi— 1 inooo'Tt^cjriooGococoooco ro rH CO CM C.0 CO CM ^ CM CO rH CM rHOOiOC-COt-irSOO 1 CO rH eg 1 CM CM rf C3 -tCO-^-^COOOOCM-^OOCDCMOOCO-^ ■^CO"f^CMrOtH-^COCOCMi-HrHCOCOCO CO 00 -^ CM CO rH eg rH CM rH S.S S.a S.S U.5 g.a S.S S.S S.s g.s S.s Sa 132 r-i CO o CO Oi i0,HC:>00t0u3OOC0O ->i r-t ..M i (.Ni CM i-H r-i 1 CM i-( CM r-l r-1 CO i.\i i-l rl r-i t-I (.-4 I III W'J I.M ■^ OJ C- I.M T-l i-M WO U5 I.-- LW 1.-J ^M i_> t'J lij C^ CO CO (jO t- OO 00 (.M T-t I tH t.N r-t 1-1 CO i-i uM t.M 1 Tp i-i I.M r-( i-( um i-( r-i t I— t 1 i-t iM r-1 CJ CO r-i i-t CD CM t-M tM L— UJ 1.M 1.^^ TT C^ <.M 03 ■;_» C_J C_) e- . ^ -^ i_^ C' J t^ t.J WS lO CM -^ <^ CM .-I I (.M r-i C-a CM r-i Tr' (N ri r-( - -. ri -^ ^,^4 ri I UM (.M i-< 1 1 .-i 1-1 CO 1 r-l CM 1 C'j 1-1 CO r-l r-t CM t '•T r-i i— 1 i— i C-J i— 1 CO r-l 1 _<^_>T^uO(.^^CMlI^CMCMtJl>c- ■'5'C-C'i-icmi-il--ll3i.-mcmcoo'd ,0 1-1 CO r-1 i.Ni .-. ra UM r-1 r-t I 1-1 1-1 CO r-l rH CO i-l CO CM .^ T-. ... r-i ;.J I-l CO cm *-^ tfM r-1 1 T-1 r-1 ..SI rH i CM , (.
