The re-verification audit was performed on August 12-15, 2008, by the independent audit firm, KEMA-Registered Quality Inc.

In order to successfully implement a Biosolids Environmental Management System (EMS), the City developed a plan and manual of procedures that are used to maintain the system. In 2002, the EMS manual was approved by the Mayor and City Council. The manual is reviewed at least annually and revised as necessary to maintain a functional Biosolids Management Program and a healthy system. To ensure that the City’s Biosolids EMS is healthy, audits are performed periodically. Also the Bureau of Sanitation Biosolids Management Team reviews the system, discusses the effectiveness of the program, and recommends continual improvement changes.
