Environmental Management System for Biosolids
In December 2002 the Metro District implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) for Biosolids, a program developed by the National Biosolids Partnership (NBP) to improve the quality of biosolids management programs nationwide and to promote public acceptance of biosolids use and disposal practices. In July 2005, the Metro District became the eighth agency nationwide to receive certification for its EMS for Biosolids program.

The EMS for Biosolids documents the Metro District’s overall biosolids management program. It ensures that biosolids are processed appropriately and safely, that documentation and reporting for the reuse of METROGRO® products are met, and that the management of the program is efficient and environmentally sound.
The Metro District wants to assure everyone who is interested in biosolids that we’re doing the right things the best way possible. Public participation – your participation – is a key element. The Metro District has a Citizen Participation Group (CPG) that is made up of Central Treatment Plant and METROGRO Farm neighbors, regulators, farmers, environmental organization representatives, and other interested parties. The CPG meets with Metro District staff regularly and provides invaluable feedback related to the biosolids program.
