We do not need to worry in Los Osos on what is to become of our biosolids; they will be trucked far, far away as there is no safe place to put them here however non-industrial the composition. Below is a link to an interesting paper on this topic.

Broadwater On Sludge
I attended the Water Resources Advisory Committee meeting last Wednesday and the first speaker at public comment was David Broadwater. He had a handout on sewage sludge (see below - wish I could give you a single pdf - but those aren't uploadable on blogger.com. Click each picture for a larger size). He has spoken and written on the topic for many years which you can see if you google "Broadwater" and "sewage sludge."

Semi-Sewer Related BOS Item Tuesday!
Read what is on Tuesday's Supe's agenda for enlightenment on SLO County bio-solids/sewage-sludge issue!
CONSENT AGENDA – REVIEW AND APPROVAL
Items Set for Hearing:
2. Introduction of an ordinance to continue the provisions and restrictions that were in place in the Land Application of Treated Sewage Sludge/Biosolids interim ordinance for a period of four years. Hearing date set for May 6, 2014. All Districts.
This item is meant notice a hearing to re-up an expired interim ordinance until a permanent ordinance can be crafted by or before March 2018 and includes the need for:
• Notification of the Public Health Department, Environmental Health Services Division 30 days prior to the land application of biosolids exceeding or equaling 5 cubic yards.
• Places a cap of 1,500 cubic yards on the cumulative total of exceptional quality biosolids that can be land applied in any 12-month period beginning with the adoption of this ordinance.
We will most likely be trucking the Los Osos' sewage sludge to Santa Maria when our plant is up and running and producing this stuff.
