  Biosolids Management Program

The biosolids produced at Hyperion were disposed in the ocean and in landfills until 1989, when the City started an extensive beneficial reuse program that continues today. The City received national awards from the U.S. EPA for rapid conversion from disposal to beneficial use of biosolids in 1989 and outstanding 100% beneficial reuse in 1994. In 2003, special recognition and awards were received from the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA) and U.S. EPA for the City's Exceptional Quality Biosolids Program.
