Disposal of Liquids

Liquids from incoming wastewater are separated from solids at the plant. After extensive treatment the liquids are discharged to Puget Sound in accordance with strict standards specified in the the county's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.

Disposal of Solids

The nutrient-rich solids, known as biosolids, are refined into a dry pelletized fertilizer. The fertilizer is commercially sold as SoundGRO for residential or commercial applications anywhere chemical-based fertilizers are used. SoundGRO meets Environmental Protection Agency standards for their 'Exceptional Quality' Class A biosolids product. Some solids, including grease, are disposed of at a sanitary landfill.
