Who We Are

The North East Biosolids and Residuals Association (NEBRA) is the only non-profit organization in the Northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada solely dedicated to understanding and facilitating the recycling of biosolids and other residuals. Look to NEBRA for science-based, technical information. NEBRA welcomes membership and information requests from anyone.
info@nebiosolids.org

NEBRA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in December, 1997. Its membership includes individuals and organizations from the six New England states and eastern Canada, including wastewater treatment facility staff, farmers, environmentalists, compost operators, biosolids recyclers, and others involved with biosolids and other residuals. NEBRA coordinates with other regional organizations in the field of wastewater treatment and biosolids/residuals recycling, e.g. the New England Water Environment Association www.newea.org and the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission www.neiwpcc.org. NEBRA is an active and effective participant in the National Biosolids Partnership www.biosolids.org and is recognized as the resource for biosolids/residuals information in the Northeast.

NEBRA Annual Reports detailing accomplishments, management, and finances - and NEBRA's annual IRS Form 990 filing - are available to the public; contact the NEBRA office. info@nebiosolids.org

To cooperatively promote the environmentally sound recycling of biosolids and other wastewater residuals in the New England region.

NEBRA recognizes that biosolids and other residuals are resources that can and should be put to beneficial uses. Recycling biosolids and other residuals in properly regulated and carefully managed programs is a cost-effective and safe method of managing one portion of New England’s waste stream.

NEBRA Board
NEBRA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Currently, the Board's members include representatives from four states (MA, ME, NH, VT) and New Brunswick and various stakeholders in the field: wastewater treatment operators, farmers, biosolids/residuals management, paper production, and environmental engineering.
