A Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis of Biosolids Management Options for Merrimack, NH (2008) compares composting and landfill disposal using local data, resulting in estimates of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions for each option. Click here to download.

A National Biosolids Regulation, Quality, End Use & Disposal Survey (2007) provides the most comprehensive information to date regarding how sewage sludge is managed in the United States. Data is from 2004. The report consists of four parts:

Official Usage of the Term "Biosolids" provides a short history of the word "biosolids" and a compilation of uses of the term in federal, state, and provincial regulations and guidance and other official documents. Download: Official Usage of the Term "Biosolids"

Saving Soil: Biosolids Recycling in New England (2001) describes the sewage sludge management practices in the six New England states. Includes information on the quality of the region's land applied biosolids. While some of the quantity data and other details are now outdated, this report still provides an accurate general picture.

Announcing the 2009...

North East Residuals & Biosolids... & ENERGY... Conference

NOVEMBER 4 & 5, 2009 • NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT

This is looking to be a spectacular event! Mark your calendars now and be in New Haven, CT in early November for this joint conference with the NEWEA Residuals Management Committee, the NEWEA Energy Committee, and NEBRA, with support from the NYWEA Residuals Management Committee. Highlights include a tour of the new energy recovery facility at New Haven's incinerator, sessions on energy efficiency, biosolids-to-energy, greenhouse gas emissions and accounting, biosolids as products, beneficial uses, and other current topics such as micro-constituents.

The conference call for papers is now available: click here.

biosolids and residuals - part of keeping water clean

If you like clean lakes, rivers, and groundwater, you should support environmentally sound biosolids management. You can’t have one without the other.

NEBRA and its members are clean water experts who know that recycling biosolids (treated sewage sludge) and other residuals (from paper mill wastewater or wood-fired generators) is often the best solution for managing these resources.

Our mission:

To cooperatively promote the environmentally sound and publicly supported recycling of biosolids and other residuals throughout New England and eastern Canada.

biosolids & residuals - nutrient & energy resources

Biosolids and other residuals contain nutrients and organic matter that, when recycled, build soils, restore barren lands, and help keep northeast landscapes open and growing. Biosolids also contain energy that can be extracted through anaerobic digestion and thermal processing.

Water clean? Plants & energy green?

Must be biosolids recycling.TM
