The National Biosolids Partnership (NBP) is now developing a voluntary EMS for biosolids. The NBP consists of members from the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies, the Water Environment Federation, EPA and other stakeholders, including the general public. Those facilities that pledge to follow the EMS agree to implement community-friendly practices in addition to being in compliance with applicable state and federal regulations. Community-friendly practices refer to the control of odor, traffic, noise and dust, as well as nutrient management. Those who pledge to follow the EMS are subject to audit by impartial independent third parties.
