Biosolids Management System

The Chattanooga Moccasin Bend Wastewater Treatment Plant produces
biosolids from the Solids Handling System which is stabilized material suitable as a soil and nutrient amendment for land application.

Because of the desire to develop and maintain a quality biosolids management program, allowing for continued beneficial reuse of biosolids material, Chattanooga joined the National Biosolids Partnership (NBP).
seal logo_cert_w_shad_rgb As part of this partnership, Chattanooga committed to managing its biosolids production and land application program in a manner that promotes the following:

Environmental Performance
Quality Management Practices
Regulatory Compliance
Better Relations with Interested Parties

Chattanooga received a third party verification audit of its biosolids management program in January 2009, at which time the program was found to comply with the NBP requirements.

The benefits of an NBP biosolids management program have been embraced by the Mayor, City Council, Public Works Department, and the Waste Resources Division.
