Biosolids Management: Reports, Regulations & Land ApplicationTreating community wastewater is a requirement for the safety of public health and the environment. Biosolids are nutrient-rich organic material that results from the wastewater treatment process. There are several options to dispose of this solid residue and manage biosolids including incineration, landfilling or other forms of surface disposal. After treatment and processing, biosolids can also be recycled and then applied as fertilizer to create a safe and beneficial agricultural product.While farmers and gardeners alike have used recycled biosolids to reduce the need for chemical fertilizers for decades, biosolids must be treated and tested to meet strict federal and state requirements prior to application. During this podcast, Patrick Williams, a wastewater engineer with Snyder & Associates, reviews details on the laws and specifications for the land application of biosolids. Williams also explains the specific obligations and steps for the wastewater facility operators to comply with the reporting and recordkeeping regulations of land applying biosolids.Podcast AgendaBiosolids Management (0:16)Biosolids Classifications (5:25)Biosolids Land Application (10:35)Reporting & Regulations for Biosolids Application (14:41)Dewatering Sewage Sludge for Biosolid Land Application (18:25)View the full transcript on our website hereSign up to receive content related to this from our newsletter hereContact Snyder & Associates Tweet us at @Snyder_Assoc Follow us on LinkedIn Snyder & Associates, Inc.
