ABOUT BIOSOLIDS |
|
 |
 |
 Biosolids are the nutrient-rich organic by-product of the wastewater treatment process which can be recycled and used to enhance soil conditions. Is biosolids recycling safe? Long-term scientific studies have repeatedly demonstrated that biosolids recycling is safe. Monitoring of biosolids, soils, water resources and plants continue to show benefits from recycling. These studies formed the basis for federal and local biosolids regulations. The application of organic matter from biosolids can improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil. Organic matter can reduce soil erosion, increase water-holding capacity, provide nutrients for plant growth, and provide food and energy for beneficial soil microorganisms. Land applying biosolids is a great method of recycling and it provides an excellent nutrient source for crops. Land application not only provides the landowner with a product that is excellent for the soil, but is also saves valuable landfill space. Biosolids provide the soil with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, trace minerals, and other nutrients vital to the production of crops. In addition, there are strict guidelines that we must adhere to for Class B biosolids, including setbacks from wells, streams, public buildings, and more. |
