The City is committed to managing its biosolids in an environmentally sound, socially acceptable, and cost-effective manner. We are constantly reviewing the program and incorporating continual improvements. The City has been demonstrating the Terminal Island Renewable Energy project for over three years. The existing permit is set to expire November 2011 and the City has submitted a new permit application to the U. S. EPA to continue demonstrating the project. As part of the new permit application we are requesting some project changes. We have completed a draft subsequent negative declaration to address the changes and are requesting your comments.

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.
