Biosolids Management Alternatives Clause Samples

Biosolids Management Alternatives. A key objective for OWRA stakeholders, as noted above, is to reduce dependency on landfill disposal of biosolids. Alternatives that produce Class A biosolids (40 CFR 503), which can be commercially marketed or disposed of with minimal cost, are preferred. While biosolids are currently managed individually by entity, shared solutions may be mutually beneficial and should be considered. Some alternatives would only have the potential to be economically viable if implemented collectively by multiple entities within Newton County. Some may even require consideration to regional biosolids management, in which biosolids would be imported from entities outside of the County. Various alternatives for producing Class A biosolids were reviewed at a conceptual level to identify potential applications, pros and cons, and relative costs. Below is a review of concept evaluations.
