Biosolids Management Survey for Producers
In partnership with the Department of Energy, USLTRCD is working to learn more about how producers use and think about products made from treated waste—like compost made from leftover solids at wastewater treatment plants.

This short survey will help us understand what’s important to you—such as cost, quality, economic benefit, or community impact—so we can better plan for the future. It should only take 2-3 minutes to complete.

When we say “solids” or “wastewater solids,” we mean the leftover material taken from wastewater treatment plants. Currently, these products can be used to create compost and biochar used in agricultural settings. It is possible that these products can also be used to create fuel for regional agricultural uses as well.

Do you currently use compost on your farm or ranch?
Clear selection
Do you currently use biochar on your farm or ranch?
Clear selection
If you do not use compost or biochar on your property, what is preventing you from doing so? This can include concerns over quality, cost barriers, etc.
If a regional processing facility was created to turn “solids” or “wastewater solids" into fuel available for agricultural use, would this interest you? Why?
If a regional processing facility was created to turn  “solids” or “wastewater solids” into renewable fuel for agricultural use, what concerns would you have? 
What if the fuel was used for other needs such as marine fuel, aviation fuel, etc. Would this interest you? Would you have any concerns?
Do you have a preference on "solids" or "wastewater solids" being turned into compost, biochar, or renewable fuel sources?
Do you have any additional feedback to provide related to  “solids” or “wastewater solids" and their value to the local agricultural community or the potential for these products to be processed into fuel, compost, or biochar?
