To highlight some of the accomplishments and improvements of the City’s biosolids management program we have completed our annual 2008 Biosolids Environmental Management System Performance Report. We value your input and would love to hear from you regarding the report contents. Click here to view the performance report. We also conducted an interim audit of our program to ensure that we are managing our biosolids in a cost effective and environmental sound manner. To view the results from the audit click here. We value your input and would love to hear from you regarding both reports. If you have any questions or comments contact us at 310-648-5877 or san.biosolidsems@lacity.org.

The City is committed to implementing a public outreach program that
engages the public and allows opportunities for interested parties to
be involved. The City’s public outreach program is reviewed during the audits and we invite interested parties to participate in the process. Since 2005 several interested parties have participated in the City’s biosolids EMS audits. Their partipation has provided valuable input that we have used to improve our biosolids management program. If you would like to participate in future audits please contact us at the information below.
