Sustainability and Biosolids CommitteeThe Sustainability and Biosolids Committee supports the development of water professionals in social, environmental, technical, and cultural advancement of wastewater sustainability, including resource recovery and biosolids processing methods. The Sustainability and Biosolids Committee originated from the Residuals and Biosolids, Sustainability, and Resource Recovery Committees. In early 2023, the three committees combined under a new charter. We meet quarterly and hold at least one meeting per year in person. We have an ambitious plan for this year and need your help to implement it. Get involved, help us deploy our vision, and find new opportunities for professional development and community. Recent Webinars:January 2023: PFAS Webinar Jason Condor with Geosyntec Consultants, Frank Dick with City of Vancouver, and Rashi Gupta with Carollo presented on potential upcoming wastewater and biosolids regulation related to PFAS, recent studies on the impact of PFAS and their correlation to regulations, and the latest science for evaluating risks associated with PFAS in biosolids. April 2023: Bioenergy and Co-digestion Josh Newman with City of Portland, Derya Dursun with Hazen and Sawyer, Mark Van Eeckhout with City of Spring field, and Bryan Lisk with Hazen and Sawyer presented on trends of organic diversion regulations, planning for accepting source-separated organics, trends and barriers to recovering energy and resources from SSOs, and cost/benefit model and case studies related to bioenergy and co-digestion.
