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.

This site was updated on November 21, 2011 | Regulatory ComplianceSince 1989 the City has been in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local requirements. The City has strict quality control monitoring and measurement procedures that it follows to ensure the biosolids its produces are safe and protective of public health and the environment. In 1993, the U. S. EPA passed the regulations: Standards for the Final Use and Disposal of Biosolids referred to the Part 503 rules. The Part 503 establishes standards for the final use or disposal of biosolids when they are applied to land, placed on surface disposal sites or fired in an incinerator. Listed below are some regulations that govern the use of biosolids.
Record keeping and reporting requirements are included in some of the regulations. To view biosolids related regulatory reports published by the City click the links below.
Monitoring requirements are also established in some of the regulations. To view monitoring and measurement results click the links below.
