Since 2022, the United States (US) Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has estimated that US water reclamation facilities have generated over 3.8 million dry metric tons per year of sewage sludge. Of that quantity, over 2.2 million dry metric tons (or nearly 60 percent) are being recycled back into the environment through biosolids land application. Compliance with the current federal law (i.e., 40 CFR Part 503) mandates that specific regulatory requirements be met, including restricting biosolids land application to the appropriate agronomic rate.

Translating regulatory requirements into a sustainable biosolids management program is challenging. Using numerous real-world examples, the BTECH Biosolids Land Applier (2-Day) Certification course provides a simple, easy-to-understand approach to achieving a successful biosolids recycling program. The course meets the regulatory needs of a broad range of biosolids stakeholders including municipal wastewater facility supervisors and operators, industrial dischargers, agricultural producers and land owners as well as public health regulators and environmental policy makers. The course content is structured to address the technical needs of individuals seeking national biosolids land applier certification status.
