Nomination Guidance for the 2000 EPA Beneficial Use of Biosolids Awards Program
Reference:
RA 00-7
Enclosed for your information is a brochure containing the nomination guidance for the 2000 EPA Beneficial Use of Biosolids Awards Program: For Operating Projects, Technology Development, Research and Public Acceptance. Because this program involves both National and Regional awards, AMSA encourages its member agencies to submit applications for consideration of such recognition.
The brochure describes the awards program in detail and gives guidance for preparing and submitting nominations. Nominations will be accepted to recognize excellence in a wide range of activities that have stimulated beneficial use of municipal biosolids. National awards will be presented in the following four categories:
- Operating projects (large & small);
- Technology development activities;
- Research activities; and
- Public acceptance activities (municipal & others).
These awards help demonstrate the operational viability of biosolids management practices which beneficially use biosolids in a manner which is environmentally safe, economically attractive, and acceptable to the public. Applicants should check with their Regional Office contact (see page 9 & 10) for any Region-specific nomination guidance and submission deadlines. The tentative deadline (see page 9) for submission is May 26, 2000 for each of the EPA regions.
The 2000 National Beneficial Use of Biosolids Awards will be presented on October 16, 2000 at the annual Water Environment Federation (WEF) Conference and Exposition (WEFTEC) in Anaheim, California.
