Describe the biological treatment technology used.: Wastewater treatment is accomplished through physical and biological (living) processes. The trickling filter process is a biological process in which rocks or other media provide a surface on which microbiological growth can occur. Wastewater trickles over the rocks and the microorganisms living on the rocks use pollutants as a food source and metabolize them. Trickling filters are followed by clarifiers (settling tanks) to remove microorganisms that wash off or pass through the trickling filter media. Clarifiers (which may also be referred to as settling or sedimentation tanks) are vessels in which solids settle out of water by gravity. The sedimentation or clarification process is a physical process How are biosolids (sludge) managed?: The District produces approximately 2,500 dry tons of biosolids product per year The product is made available to municipalities and the public through the District's give-away program. Generally, biosolids are available from April through August.
