PURPOSE: The Waste Management Commission
Committee on Biosolids was established as a standing
committee in July 2004 to provide oversight on
a biosolids composting project proposal jointly
submitted to the Integrated Waste Management Department
by the South Orange County Wastewater Authority
and the Orange County Sanitation District. The
Committee on Biosolids will meet on an as-needed
basis. Upcoming meeting dates and agendas will
be listed below.
PROPOSAL: The South Orange County Wastewater
Authority (SOCWA) and the Orange County Sanitation
District (OCSD) jointly proposed to construct
an enclosed biosolids composting facility at the
Prima Deshecha Landfill in San Juan Capistrano.
The Waste Management Commission approved the project
in concept in July 2004 and recommended the project
proponents proceed with further feasibility study.
In-depth field investigation and analysis of the
suitability of this location is currently underway
by SOCWA/OCSD.
