Introduction

The City has established several standards to ensure that its biosolids management program is meeting and exceeding regulatory requirements and conforming to best management practices. The City has to comply with all applicable federal, state and local regulations regarding biosolids production and use.The City achieved a significant program milestone in 2009. For 20 years the City has beneficially reused its biosolids in compliance with all enforceable federal, state, and local regulations. We have reached this milestone by following best management practices, meeting regulatory compliance requirements, exceeding environmental performance, and involving our interested parties and public in our biosolids management program. We are committed to maintaining a biosolids management program that is cost-effective, socially accepted, and protective of public health and the environment.
To ensure that we maintain an environmentally sound program we have implemented an extensive monitoring program. To date, no noncompliances or notice of violations have been issued to the City related to biosolids management.
