LAND APPLICATION

The desludging of domestic wastewater treatment lagoons is generally required every 15 to 25 years to return the facility to its normal rated design capacity.

The sludge or solid residue that is generated from wastewater treatment lagoons is frequently referred to as biosolids and has a beneficial and valuable re-use.

The land application of biosolids is the addition of biosolids to agronomic or turf systems where the materials function as a supplemental organic fertilizer or soil amendment for enhancing crop production.
