Memo to Waterloo Mayor and City Council:
RE: Satellite Bio -solids disposal contract with Nutri-ject
Background Information
This city of Waterloo's waste treatment plant has two treatment trains, Easton designed to treat
domestically generated waste and all industries other than Tyson's after treatment via the anaerobic
lagoon and Waterloo Processing (tannery). The Tyson -tannery waste streams are received at the plant
are designed to be treated at the Satellite plant or can be diverted into the Easton plant waste stream.
In 2012, it was decided to treat both waste streams thru the Easton facility only and the Satellite facility
has essentially been mothballed since then. As part of the last IDNR inspection, (August 2017) and
issues related with facility compliance, while not required, but highly recommended, utilization of the
Satellite plant under certain conditions was noted.
Consequently, a decision has been made to prepare one treatment train of the satellite plant
"operationally ready" for the winter months. Staff has been performing numerous maintenance tasks to
insure that the plant is operational. One aspect of that task is an accumulation of bio -solids that should
have been removed when the treatment facility was taken out of service.
Project Discussion
To accomplish this task, we obtained a quote from Nutri-ject to clean accumulated bio -solids from the
west aeration basin of the Satellite facility. We have collected and had the accumulated solids tested to
insure compliance regarding 503 bio -solids disposal requirements would be met. It is important that all
bio -solids removed be properly disposed and documented for our required annual report. We have
Nutri-ject under contract for our bio -solids disposal and are recommending that these bio -solids be
included in this year's solids reporting.
Funding 520-14-5200-1341
It is proposed that we utilize the sewer fund -contract services, 5200-14-5200-1341, same as the current
bio -solids disposal contract.
Recommendation
We are recommending that the accumulated bio -solids contract with Nutri-ject be approved.
