This contract entails the processing of Class B biosolids into Class A biosolids. Class B biosolids have undergone a reduction in pathogen content to the point where they are safe for certain types of reuse while Class A biosolids have had pathogen content eliminated. There are several technologies which can be used to achieve this under Code of Federal Regulations Title 40 Part 503, the federal regulations which govern biosolids. Once the Class A biosolids product is produced, the contractor is responsible for the distribution of the product to farmers and ranchers. New regulations stemming from SB 1383 restrict the use of biosolids used as cover material in landfills. Alternative, non-landfill uses for biosolids are needed and Contract 63002 ensures there is a management option for biosolids during certain parts of the year. |
