On January 18, the California Water Environment Association (CWEA) Biosolids Committee hosted a specialty conference, Biosolids:  Putting Regulators and Researchers in Touch with YOU… the Practitioner, at the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts Joint Administration Office in Whittier. Another session was held on January 19, 2011 at the Shannon Community Center in Dublin.  This one-day biosolids specialty conference, which trained 125 water environment professionals, consisted of a series of technical presentations separated by interactive discussions among leading experts and attendees.   The morning session consisted of opening remarks presented by the conference Chairs (Dave Bachtel and Todd Jordan), followed by six technical presentations.  The innovative networking lunch also served as a venue for a discussion of CWEA’s Biosolids Land Application Management Certification.  The afternoon session consisted of five technical presentations, and closing remarks were delivered by the conference Chairs.

A total of nine speakers gave presentations at both venues that covered a wide range of relevant topics, including the following:

 *   State issues update from the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA),
 *   National scientific research review from the Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF),
 *   Innovative look at Biosolids and Greenhouse Gas Accounting,
 *   Discussion of biosolids constituents,
 *   Analysis of specific trace organics, an update on dioxin and radiation biosolids research results,
 *   Overview of microorganisms in biosolids,
 *   Update on chemical research results from biosolids land application, and
 *   Discussion of case studies of urban gardening projects that use biosolids products

Review the presentations and findings from the nationally known Biosolids experts.<http://cwea.org/et_biosolids.shtml>
