Biosolids Inspection
In Compliance
Steve Owens and I met with Ben Cole of Synagro at Oakland WWTP. We were able to inspect 6 new sites that were recently approved for land application. There were very obvious creeks and ponds to be flagged with buffer zones. Mr. Cole explained he uses a rangefinder to flag the setbacks. Public access was restricted by fences and the farmer was aware of grazing restrictions. The sites were all relatively flat. In the rare case the biosolids cannot meet SOUR or VSR Oakland has the ability to incorporate. Soil samples are taken prior to calculating the Nitrogen loading rate for each site. Oakland also adheres to setbacks from property lines.
