Biosolids Generation, Use, and Disposal in the U.S

This report broadens EPA's series of solid waste studies by quantifying the amount of biosolids managed by municipal solid waste facilities. Biosolids are the byproduct of municipal wastewater treatment & also are known as sewage sludge. This report focuses on biosolids generated by publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) & the subsequent management practices used by POTWs for treating & then recycling or disposing of biosolids. The quantity of biosolids processed by POTWs & the treatment methods they select are likely to affect municipal solid waste decision-makers regarding their involvement in biosolids management.
