"Our selection today fulfills that promise to process sludge in a beneficial way while at the same time using a significantly less expensive option that protects our ratepayers. "When we ended the NYOFCo contract in 2010 because it was too costly to continue, we committed to seek alternative, sustainable and cost-effective ways to handle the biosolids that New Yorkers generate every day," said Commissioner Strickland. Once approved, the new five-year contract will start in spring 2012 at a cost of approximately $56 million. WeCare will use the organic material for mine reclamation projects or sell it as compost to garden centers, nurseries, and landscape supply companies. Under the new proposed contract, WeCare Organics will bring up to 400 tons per day of biosolids to its processing site in rural eastern Pennsylvania where it will be stabilized with lime and made into a product suitable for beneficial reuse. This proposed contract will replace a contract with the New York Organic Fertilizer Company (NYOFCo) that was terminated in 2010 due to its increasing costs in processing treated sludge for use as fertilizer at a facility in Hunts Point. ![]() DEP's 14 wastewater treatment plants handle an average of 1.3 billion gallons of wastewater every day, which generate approximately 1,200 tons per day of solid byproducts that are also known as biosolids or treated sludge. ![]() DEP Selects Vendor to Beneficially Reuse Treated Sludgeįarrell Sklerov / Angel Román (718) 595-6600 DEP Selects Vendor to Beneficially Reuse Treated Sludge Cost-Effective Program Replaces Former Contract with NYOFCoĮnvironmental Protection Commissioner Carter Strickland today announced the selection of WeCare Organics in response to a Request for Proposals to transport, process, and market biosolids for beneficial reuse. ![]()
