Region proposes biosolids program Halton Region is propos- ing to implement a "Biosolids De-watering" Program at the Burlington Skyway Wastewater treatment plant. Biosolids are the end prod- uct of treating municipal wastewater. This new pro- gram will reduce the volume of biosolids produced and transportation costs incurred. Halton currently operates seven wastewater treatment plants in four area municipali- ties, serving a population of about 330,000. The de-watered biosolids will be applied to agricultural land at no cost to local farm- ers as a soil conditioner and organic fertilizer for crop pro- duction. Halton Region is the Trecognized leader in biosolids land application and technology in Ontario. Currently, the Region ap- plies all of its biosolids to farmland in liquid form at a cost of approximately $3 mil- lion per year. This new, cost- effective "de-watering" initia- tive will run simultaneously with the liquid program to provide wastewater treatment PET AUTO PAINT AND RESTORATION Cars and Trucks of All Sizes For a Free Estimate Call: Peter Hargrave Proprietor $56-9356 4923 7th Line, Eramosa RR 4 Rockwood!
