Did You Know?

Did you know that biosolids (sludge) are used to fertilize the grounds of the Washington Monument, the White House, and the lawns of Mount Vernon? Biosolids are also used to maintain grass playing fields, like the Rose Bowl stadium field, and to revegitate highway embankments and median strips. Biosolids also can help reverse land damage from mining and dredging operations and are used in some forests to accelerate tree growth and shorten pulp and lumber production cycles.
