DC Water Biosolids Program: Bloom

DC Water’s Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant treats more than 370 million gallons a day of raw sewage. As part of an ambitious program to improve the way we process and handle biosolids, DC Water has developed a long-range biosolids management program. The biosolids program is entirely focused on recycling an organic and nutrient-rich material in an environmentally safe and beneficial manner. All of the more than 1,200 wet tones of biosolids produced daily is reused through a diverse land application program that improves the soil for agricultural production and other projects.
