Biosolids Contract Continuation
Background Findings
As the Wastewater Division of Public Works is diligent in separating clean water and conditioning waste into fertilizer, those two byproducts can be returned to the environment for beneficial reuse. Some of the water
component is used in operation of the wastewater facility, some for irrigation purposes and the remainder is introduced to the DuPage river. The water movement is accomplished by existing piping. The fertilizer is applied to farm fields. This is done through the use of a professional contractor adept at soil testing, policy adherence, logistics, and approved farming methods. This contractor must test the soil before the EPA will allow their trucks to haul the biosolids onto the site for land application and incorporation into the soil.
Policy Considerations
The Village is in an existing contract with Stewart Spreading Incorporated, which may be continued annually upon mutual agreement.
Financial Considerations

found agreeable. This is budgeted in the " contractual services" line item- 02- 11- 40- 8135. Recommendation
It is our recommendation that the Village Board direct the President to continue the contract with Stewart

as stipulated.
