Introduction

Strict quality control procedures and regulatory compliance with federal, state, and local laws are followed for the production and use of biosolids. Farmers use some of the biosolids as a soil amendment and fertilizing material and some are mixed with green materials and other organics to produce compost. The City currently manages it biosolids through land application and composting. Also the City is investigating a new and innovation option, deep well injection of biosolids to produce renewable energy. Various technologies are being developed and proposals are continuously being reviewed by City staff.
