Biosolids Mission Statement:
The mission of the Biosolids Committee is to promote education, networking and sound public policy in the field of biosolids while advocating proper management of biosolids by utilities, haulers, land appliers and other biosolids end users. Every year the Biosolids Committee develops in-person technical education seminars. The Committee will also provide educational content with the assistance of the local Chapters at their Quarterly Networking events throughout the year. In addition, the committee routinely conducts conference calls to keep their membership informed. The committee also coordinates with the WEF Residuals and Biosolids Committee to disseminate national information to local members. Our membership includes the environmental professionals and organizations that produce, treat, test, consult on, and manage most of the region’s biosolids and other large volume recyclable organic residuals. Together we advocate for biosolids issues, management and education in Florida.
The FWEA Biosolids Committee values your input! We invite you to share your concerns and suggest topics you'd like us to address in our upcoming seminars. Your valuable insights will help us create relevant and impactful sessions that cater to your needs and interests. Whether it's regulatory updates, technological advancements, or management approaches, we want to hear from you. Together, we can make our seminars more engaging and informative. Please take a moment to share your thoughts, and let's work towards advancing biosolids management together. Thank you for being an integral part of our community.
