BIOSOLID (NASM) APPLICATION
What are Biosolids?
Biosolids are the stabilized products that are recovered at the end of the wastewater treatment process. Biosolids are rich in nutrients that may be beneficially used to improve soil conditions and provide nutrition for plants.
Biosolids contain nutrients and organic matter that are helpful and important to plant growth, such as phosphorus, mineral and organic nitrogen, and micronutrients such as zinc, magnesium, and copper.
Proper biosolid application can be very beneficial to the land owner and surrounding communities.
The key to using sewage biosolids successfully is management, which is a combination of:
- proper application methods
- best management practices
- nutrient management planning
We help to bridge the gap between Municipalities who need their waste managed and farmers who can benefit from the biosolids.
We are responsible for:
- land applying uniformly so that the maximum application rate is not exceeded
- timely application that is mutually beneficial for the hauler and the farmer
- keeping records of biosolids quality, location of all application sites and volumes applied to each site
Ministry of Environment Certified
Due to the biological components of biosolids, proper management is important to control the impact on the environment and human health. We work with the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Agricultural Environmental Officers to ensure compliance with the Nutrient Management Act and Non-Agricultural Source Materials (NASM) Strategy/Plan.
